Zabuza was very cautious now because Kakashi was relaxing in his prison and the 2 beings in front of him were a bit intimidating. Zabuza was hoping that haku would save him if he needed it.
What happened to the great Demon of the MistDrako laughed although his voice was a lot deeper because of his transformation.
"Surely you are not afraid of 2 gennin are you Zabuza?" Naruto said
"I think Zabuza is going to lose this one, heh sasuke?" Ino said as she relaxed a bit. Sasuke was still thinking of how Naruto was willing to help him out in his training to become stronger, even though he had not been the best of friends to him.
"Naruto is willing to help me become stronger, even though I have been an asshole to him, maybe hell be my first friend." Sasuke was deep in thought
Ino nudged sasuke out of his thought when the fight had started. Naruto crouched lower on Drako's back as Drako took off running towards Zabuza. Hurricane Winds they chorused
Zabuza raised his left hand to shield his eyes as he brought his sword into a defensive position. He saw Drako coming at him and shifted his sword to attack Drako.
Drako launched himself into the air and began a 180 spin swinging his sword. Zabuza parried Drako's sword and kicked him back then jumped up and back flipped over Naruto's thrust that would have pierced his stomach.
Zabuza began a set of handseals. Water Dragon he shouted as a dragon rose from the water and shot at Drako and Naruto. The two just smiled as an earth wall rose from the ground to intercept the dragon. Zabuza had charged in behind his dragon.
Hidden Mist as Zabuza sunk into the mist all around them now. Drako swung his sword up above his head to block a downswing from Zabuza. Zabuza swung under his sword and kicked Drako back as he followed with his sword above his head.
WHY DO I KEEP GETTING KICKED AROUND!!!!!!!
Drako flipped upright and found himself surrounded by 5 Zabuzas.
"You're done now Dragon" the Zabuzas said together. Uzumaki Clone Special!!!!
50 Naruto clones now surrounded the Zabuza clones. They attacked and all the Zabuzas were gone in a few seconds but the Narutos still remained.
"Hmm Kakashi, these brats are more of a challenge than you were, are you sure they are gennin?" The Zabuza clone holding Kakashi asked.
"You would be surprised, you would be surprised."
"I think we gotta get Kakashi-sensei out in order to beat this guy. I don't want to show him my dance yet." Naruto whispered.
Fine lets get him out. You get the clone holding him, me and your clones will get the real one.
Bu now the mist had disappeared. Naruto's clones and Drako took off.
Zabuza laughed "You think some clones will get me. HA" and he took off.
He swung at one, and the blade went through. "These illusions wont stop me" as he swung through another only to feel a bit of resistance as the clone turned to wood. He kicked another to get his foot wet, a water clone too?"
"Ahh so the brat mixed in different kinds of clones, that's a good idea." Zabuza said with a smirk as he made some water clones and destroyed all the clones. Now it was Drako and a clone standing off against Zabuza, both were panting.
"Hey Zabuza, aren't you being chased by hunter-nin ??" the Naruto clone asked.
"Yea, ever since I tried to kill the mizukage, they have been chasing me, but what of it?""
There is one in the tree there, watching.
Zabuza crouched and began to charge to suddenly see the Naruto standing next to Drako disappear in a puff of smoke.
"WHAT" Zabuza was stopped from his charge to discover Kakashi standing in front of him starting seals. He looked back to see Naruto standing where his clone had been.
Suddenly 4 senbon flew from the tree which housed the hunter-nin and struck Zabuza in the neck, putting him in a death like state.
Kakashi stopped his seals and passed out. Naruto also hit the ground, while Drako stabbed his sword into the ground and was leaning on it.
"I thank you for your assistance in the battle, but I must dispose of this body , for it holds many secr…..
Cut the crap, you reek of Zabuza and Drako too had passed out.
"They will be an easy target now" as Haku walked away from Zabuzas body and towards Kakashi and Drako.
"I should say the same thing to you" replied sasuke with a smirk as he held a kunai to Zabuza's throat
Haku turned back and suddenly found a kunai at her throat courtesy of Ino. Haku could probably beat the two of them but, she would lose Zabuza.
"How about a truce, everyone goes free" Haku asked hoping she could escape with Zabuza.
"We'll take it" Ino said without a second thought.
"But why we could kill them both right now!" sasuke shouted
"sasuke she could kill tazuna and Kakashi too." Ino said pointing to the senbon now in Haku's hands.
"Fine"
Haku walked back and picked up Zabuza's body as sasuke carried Naruto back to the group.
"Come on kids, you can rest at my house. I think we will have a couple days with the wounds Zabuza had."
"Sounds Good" Ino said as she grabbed Naruto and the now smaller Drako. Sasuke grumbled as he threw Kakashi on his back with his feet dragging on the floor as they walked.
Tazuna's house next day
Tsunami had made breakfast and was serving it. Naruto was still sleeping from chakra exhaustion. Kakashi had just awoke from Drako poking him.
Everyone was seated at the table now except for Naruto and Kakashi.
Sasuke was still thinking about what Naruto and Drako ad said to him yesterday. He was deep in thought " Did he really mean it, he's probably just playing a trick on me, he keeps saying I'm a stuck-up bastard, am I, am I really this bad to my teammates ?? But would they really get me a weapon, and would it help me, no I am the one who is going to kill m brother, not him, but they are just messing with me, there is no way they would get me a wea…..
Drako just started talking to Ino at this point. So Ino, Naruto said that a bow would work great for you, what do you think ?
"Yea it would give me some style and finesse, plus it would be good support, especially with you two for close range crap."
Ya me and Naruto got that handled and sasuke has support, that's why the short sword would be good for him. Can be drawn quick and even thrown when good enough.
"Naruto would actually do that for me?" sasuke asked.
Ya , you might be jerk to us most of the time, but we are TRYING to make you not an ass the whole time
Sasuke thought to himself "Do they really strain to put up with me, Maybe I should start becoming friends, No they don't know what it is like to see the stuff I have seen"
"You guys don't know what I have been through!!!!" sasuke yelled as he stood up
Ino was in his face now "Shut your mouth, You have no idea how hard life was for Naruto, you're lucky he's still sleeping or he would punched you out by now, he was living on his own at 5 years old. AND he never knew who his father was until a couple months ago, and grew up with no parents!"
Ino began to walk out "Ill be training, Drako please tell Naruto that when I wake up"
Nice one jackass, look you got her mad. Drako flew towards the stairs. You know you could lighten up, and you better because Naruto won't put up with you pissing Ino off.
Tsunami and Tazuna stood and took the dishes to the kitchen.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto awoke about an hour later and went to the kitchen to find tsunami sitting at the table knitting, and Tazuna reading a book.
"Hey where's the rest of them?" asked Naruto
Tsunami stopped knitting and brought in a plate of food "Ino went to the forest to train and Drako followed. Kakashi is still in bed, and sasuke disappeared."
"Thanks, I guess I am going to go look for them in a minute or two."
"Naruto, mind if I ask you a question?" Tazuna said putting his book down.
"Shoot"
"How is it that you are about the same level as your sensei and he is a jounin and you are just a gennin?"
Naruto smiled "Well you see, I am being trained by the strongest person to ever live" As he put on a huge fox grin.
Tazuna smiled and Tsunami fell out of her chair with a blush"
"So then you mean Robert?" said Tazuna
Naruto's face became one of confusion. "Wait how do you know him, I thought he was very secretive and stuff?"
"Naruto what did he say to you, when you first met him or heard about him?"
Naruto thought back? "He said he was the white storm, protector of the people, and traveled around"
"Bingo brat, protector of the people" Tazuna smirked, knowing he had some power over the stronger brat."
"But how do you know him?"
"He came here when he was just starting out, he was young, probably 17" tsunami said not wanting to be left out
"He saved Tsunami from some bullies one day, and then tsunami here followed him around for a couple months, seeing as he trained here."
Tsunami blushed more and Tazuna laughed "Tsunami here had a crush on him and even went to ask him out, but he declined saying it was too dangerous and that he would not be here enough for her."
"And I still miss him" Tsunami said sad now.
"And now that I think about it, you are stronger than he was when he came here."
"Really I am that good" Naruto said with joy in his voice.
"You are pretty strong brat"
"Thanks" Naruto was deeply happy because there was more people that cared for him
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Out in the forest
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto was dashing through the forest and stopped when he found Ino tired out sitting on a tree and a huge amount of the FTG kunai all over the clearing
"Hey Ino-chan"
Ino smiled "Hey Naruto"
Naruto jumped down and sat next to her. Ino leaned up against him as Naruto put his arm around her
"So may I ask what you were doing out here by yourself especially when there are enemies around, and your all tired?"
Ino elbowed him in the stomach lightly "Don't worry, I am even safer now that you are here"
"Safer?" Naruto asked emphasizing the -er"
Why are you so dense sometimes Naruto? Drako said as he emerged from a hole in the tree Ino was sitting on
"I was wondering where you were, and besides you are better at stealth and senses, so whatever"
hehehe, don't try to make an excuse, you just couldn't find me Drako was laughing now
"So how far are you two with the FTG?"
"I can do it for about only 2 feet, and only one jump"
10 feet and 3 jumps max, this thing is hard, no wonder it was so powerful and couldn't be copied.
"Damn you guys are good, going faster than pops probably did it"
"What about you, can you do the dance perfect yet?" Ino asked
"I have the dance down perfectly, but I still need to increase my chakra do be able to do it more, and maybe other stuff after"
"So we are going to be unstoppable, kick ass" Naruto said
AwesomeSasuke jumped down from the trees
"Kakashi is awake and told me to ask you about some training involving trees" sasuke said in a 'tell me now or suffer voice"
Take a break, assGo climb the tree as high as you can and mark it with a kunai
Sasuke was about to jump up and start climbing when Drako shouted back
NO HANDS"What then how am I going to do this???"
Drako walked over to sasuke and looked him in the face. Then he continued up the tree sticking to it with chakra. See very east, and NO I am not using my claws.
"So I use chakra" sasuke asked
"Yea go ahead and keep going up until you can reach the top twice." Naruto said as he and Ino got up to leave. Sasuke began running up the tree and fell after his second step.
He'll be a whileXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Zabuza's hideout
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Zabuza was lying in bed with haku beside him in a chair.
"Zabuza, I do not think that we will be able to beat them by ourselves."
"You are right, I could take Kakashi and you that Uchiha brat and the girl. But that blonde kid and the dragon could take us both. We need another strong person"
"Where will we find one, Zabuza?"
"He's already here"'
In stepped a figure wielding two swords. "I think I can show them what a user of lightning can really do"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Back at Tazuna's house
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kakashi was sitting at the table having recovered from his chakra depletion. Beside him was Drako and Ino and Naruto were on the other side.
"So sensei you think they will be back?" Ino asked
"Yes, and this time I fear they may have another accomplice helping them"
Why do you say that?Kakashi sighed "Because Zabuza knows he and I are about evenly matched. And I doubt that haku person could beat Naruto and Drako. Besides that still leaves Ino and sasuke to assist however."
"So they need someone else to beat us then, we are too strong for the two of them." Naruto said proudly.
"Yes but Zabuza, even though he is a missing nin, may still have allies around, so we had better be careful"
Everyone was in thought, until Naruto broke the silence
"Well me and Ino are going to town to look around, wanna come Drako ?"
Hm, lets see stay here with boring sensei or go to town with friends. I really don't know I mean this is a hard choice
Drako stopped his rant when he saw that Naruto and Ino had already left and Kakashi was reading his book.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In town
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto and Ino were walking down the street holding hands and Drako was on Naruto's shoulder.
Everyone was giving them glances as they past.
"I see why this bridge is so important, it would save this whole country from poverty." Ino said as she moved closer to Naruto
This is terrible, this gato guy is definitely going down"I would say we pay him a visit but he is probably heavily guarded and Zabuza is there as well. " Naruto interjected before the conversation went any farther.
They had now walked through the village and now were at a river with large trees on both banks of the river.
Naruto and Drako looked at each other. Ino was confused as the boys both had huge smirks.
Ino started backing away from the two.
Naruto and Drako just sprinted to Ino and grabbed her. Naruto held her hands and Drako had her feet.
Drako's smirks grew even bigger as he transformed to his larger form and grabbed both Naruto and Ino
"Traitor" Naruto yelled
HAH, always watch your backDrako flew up with the both of them and hovered up above the river for a moment.
See you later and Drako dropped both of them above the river. And he took off towards the house
Ino held on to Naruto as they fell
SPLASH
They both hit the water and were soaked completely when they surfaced.
Ino held on to Naruto tighter causing him to sink a little.
"Um Ino could you please let go, I am having trouble staying afloat"
"No Naruto don't make me let go" Ino whined
"Wh…..
"I don't know how to swim alright!!!!" Ino yelled out
Naruto smiled "Then why didn't you say so" and Naruto swam over to the shore dragging Ino
First u need something to swim in, because what you have now will wear you down."
"Well did you bring that sealing scroll that you made me ?"" Ino asked
"O yea" and Naruto pulled out a scroll from his back
"Hopefully it will still work even though its wet" Ino said
"Lets see" Naruto did a few handseals "Release"
Out popped 10 pairs of Ino's clothing
"Ino picked a swimsuit out and walked over to some bushes and changed as Naruto resealed the clothes and got his own.
Ino emerged wearing a purple bikini that had Naruto drooling. Ino blushed and nudged him in the stomach.
"Come on and teach me and stop staring" Ino said as she grabbed his hand and drug him towards the water
When they got to where the water was about chest high for them Naruto decided to start his lesson.
"Ok I am not an expert at teaching so here goes"
"Basically you kick your feet in a quick motion, and at the same time move your hands in archs consecutively." Naruto said while demonstrating
Ino tried and sank as soon as she took her feet off the ground
Naruto held in a snicker "Let me help"
Naruto grabbed her around her waist as she tried again.
XXXXXXXXXXX
3 hours later
XXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto was frantically swimming away from Ino who was chasing him in the water.
Ino caught up to him and grabbed onto his back. "I win again Naruto" she said sweetly as she kissed him on his cheek
Naruto smiled and imitated Ino "Oh look I'm Ino I cant swim, but here I am swimming faster and better than Naruto, but I cant swim"
Ino smiled and dunked him under water and quickly escaped to shore
Naruto whined out "Cheater that wasn't fair"
"O hush and get changed we are going back it's almost dark out" Ino yelled back
"Ok"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tazuna's
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone was sitting down eating dinner and Tsunami was serving everybody.
Naruto and Ino were holding hands talking with Drako while Tazuna and Kakashi discussed his 'book'. Sasuke was brooding as usual.
Inari looked around at how they were having fun. "Why do you even try gato and his men are going to kill you anyways."
Everybody looked at him. And Naruto yelled back
"We'll see about that, he doesn't know who he is messing with"
"You don't get it, he's too powerful and you are all going to die, you should just return to your village. You don't know what it is like growing up with a hard life, you all probably had it so easy back home"
Naruto looked down and Drako and Ino were trying to calm him down because they knew that look.
"Come on Naruto lets go for a walk." Ino pleaded
"How are you going to beat Gato if you are scared of me?" Inari yelled back
Naruto shot up and was about to charge inari only to be held back by a transformed Drako.
Come on buddy, we are going for a walk. And Drako drug Naruto out of the house with Ino following.
Inari and Tsunami were scared out of their mind because of Drako's true form.
Kakashi decided it was time to speak up. "Inari you really shouldn't talk about people and their lives if you have no idea what they went through."
"What are you talking about, they were so happy they weren't sad or anything." Inari said as he began to cry
"Naruto grew up without any parents of friends until he was 6. He was treated terribly in the village for something he had no control over. He decides to be happy and not sad, he lives with what he has. Ino and Drako are his best friends. And now that I think of it I have never seen Naruto cry. He has always been strong because he chooses to be, not weak."
Inari stopped crying and walked out of the room.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In the forest
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto was in a clearing that wasn't a clearing a couple of minutes ago. There was broken down trees all around from sword strikes and punches and rasengans.
Drako and Ino were sitting on the side watching and Drako was in his small form.
"I hope he's done soon, this is dangerous" Ino said as another tree fell.
Yea he might be done soonA few minutes later Naruto stopped destroying the area and walked over to Ino and Drako with a smile on his face, As soon as he got close Ino glomped him with a huge hug.
"Feel better?" Ino asked
"Yea"
Talk about mood swings Drako said as he ducked under a kunai that stuck in the tree behind him.Naruto was walking back with Ino hand in hand as Drako flew to Naruto's shoulder.
"I think Zabuza will strike tomorrow, he has had enough time to heal"
I would say a day more, but who knows we should be prepared tomorrowXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Next Morning at Bridge
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tazuna and Team 7 walked to the bridge to find all of the workers injured or dead and Zabuza and Haku standing there with a cloaked figure next to them with 2 swords on his back.
"We meet again Kakashi, this time you will die by my hands" Zabuza yelled
"Last time I think you said the same thing, but that didn't happen here thanks to Naruto and Drako" Kakashi said as he put his book away
"This is the brat that you need help defeating Zabuza?" The cloaked figure exclaimed.
"Shut it Raiga, you'd be surprised." Zabuza retorted.
"So it seems it will take 2 swordsmen of the hidden mist to defeat us? A jounin and four gennin." Naruto said as he and Drako walked beside Kakashi.
" I think the battle is going to start now, I shall take the boy and dragon." Haku replied walking towards them.
Sasuke walked in front of Naruto and Drako, "first you have to get through me."
"As you wish" Haku said as their fight began
Kakashi charged at Raiga and Zabuza appeared in front of him. "You still have a battle with me" As Zabuza and Kakashi started the battle of to the side.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I couldn't find the name of raiga's attack so I am calling it lightning strike
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Raiga stepped forward dropping his cloak and drawing his swords. " You brats will be easy, a big gecko and a teenager"
You know I think Zabuza said the same thing before we kicked his ass.
"Lets see then" Raiga shouted as he charges and appeared right in front of them and swiped through both of them and they turned to smoke
The real Naruto and Drako dropped down from a tree. "So he depends on his swords and is probably pretty bad at taijutsu without them" Naruto said
Yep, or else he would have saved them for laterNaruto drew a kunai and Drako flexed his claws (Drako still in his small form)
All three charged Naruto made 30 shadow clones and Drako started handseals.
Raiga was busy fending off the clones when Drako finished Earth Dragon
Raiga dodged but was hit in his left leg, badly bruising it.
"I see you aren't that quick either" Naruto retorted
Raiga growled out in frustration "I will show you why I am a swordsman of the mist" and Raiga charged again
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
With sasuke and Haku
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I have no wish to kill you, but if you get in my way I will do so" Haku said as she drew her needles
"SHUT UP" and sasuke flung some kunai at her
Senbon intercepted them in mid air and they both fell to the ground
"Is that it" Haku said in her original voice
Sasuke was furious and began handseals Grand Fireball
Haku did 1 few 1-handedseals
As the fireball hit Haku was still standing there in an ice mirror. "Is that all you have, you are wasting my time"
Haku exited the mirror and charged sasuke she engaged him in taijutsu. They were both evenly matched. Haku threw a left hook which sasuke ducked under and aimed a kick towards her side. Haku saw it coming and back flipped over it. When she landed she dodged sasuke's fireflower jutsu to be pushed back against the wall of the bridge. Sasuke smirked and drew a demon wind shuriken. Sasuke charged Haku with the open shuriken.
Haku did some seals. 1000 needles of death And the water behind her rose up and flew at sasuke. He had no choice but to try and block as many as he could.
When the attack was done sasuke sat there with many needles sticking out of him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Zabuza and Kakashi
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Their battle was not going as it did last time. This time they were both staring at each other.
"Why fight, we should just wait and see who comes out on top. I'll bet on Haku winning, she is stronger than me." Zabuza said as he stood in a normal position with his hands at his sides.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Raiga –Naruto-Drako
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Raiga smirked.
"You will see my true power, the power of lightning" Raiga yelled out as lightning struck him.
Uh-oh"Yea this could be a problem, especially since sensei didn't teach me his technique" Naruto said
Ya that would have worked perfectly, pfft master of lightning my ass, sensei is a master
"O well, lets beat him and then I'll ask sensei when we get back" Naruto said as he and Drako charged
Raiga raised his swords above his head Lightning Strike a huge lightning strike came down from the sky. Naruto and Drako jumped back as the lightning hit right where they would have been. There was a large crater.
He's got some power there, better be careful
Naruto threw some kunai that stopped Raiga from starting his next attack. Raiga dodged to the side and blocked an incoming Drako.
Raiga charged and swung his swords at Drako who flew out of reach.
"Drako stay out of the ai….
"Too late, Got you" Raiga said as he called down a lightning strike
Drako got hit with the full force and was knocked back down to the ground
Drako was unconscious on the ground. Raiga kicked him into the water
"DRAKKOO!!" Naruto yelled out.
Ino and Tazuna saw this and were about to go get him but were stopped by Naruto. "Protect Tazuna Ino, Drako will be alright"
Kakashi too was stopped by Zabuza "remember we are still fighting, and I am you opponent. Zabuza now had his sword out.
"You are dead too, just a matter of time, brat"
"That's it, time to get serious." Naruto said as he dropped all of his weights
Raiga turned around from kicking Drako and was met with a fist to the face courtesy of Naruto.
'Damn he is faster' thought Raiga as he ducked under a kick. He was then forced to dodge a flurry of punches and kicks.
Naruto jumped and aimed a kick towards Raiga's face. Raiga spun and grabbed his foot throwing him over the side of the bridge.
"You are dead now" Raiga jumped onto the railing Lightning Strike A huge bolt of lightning gathered and hit the water. All of the fish floated to the surface dead from the lightning
"Hey Zabuza, I am done with my opponents when do I get my share" Raiga called
Zabuza smirked "you better turn around" Kakashi smirked at this
Raiga turned to see Naruto and Drako standing there with their seals released but not wielding their swords yet.
"We are really pissed, you better watch out" Naruto called as he walked onto Drako's back
"Haku now!!" Zabuza called
"HAI"
Haku kicked sasuke across the bridge and ran at Kakashi with Zabuza. Kakashi uncovered his Sharingan. Zabuza swung vertically and Kakashi dodged to the side only to be knocked unconscious by Haku from behind.
"Let's get those two" Zabuza smirked
Zabuza and Haku ran to join Raiga but Haku was kicked aside by sasuke
"I am not done with you" sasuke said panting
"You are not worth my time" Haku said appearing behind sasuke and was about to strike him only to be punched in the gut by Ino. Haku doubled over in pain.
"Miss me sasuke" Ino said with sarcasm
Haku was tied up by the two of them and drug over to watch the other fight and help if needed.
Raiga and Zabuza were now standing opposite of Naruto and Drako.
"Let us begin, then" Zabuza called smirking
Gladly, Hurricane winds
Raiga and Zabuza both jumped up to avoid the attack.
Below them Naruto and Drako were doing handseals Lightning Dragon Drako called
Raiga turned in midair but was still hit in the right shoulder and arm.
That's payback bitch Drako called as he summoned his sword
Chain Lightning: 20 Strikes From Naruto's hands came a lightning bolt that hit Zabuza in the chest and quickly jumped to Raiga and back again. This continued until the 20 jumps were done.
When Raiga and Zabuza landed they were both panting from the last attack and their clothes were ripped. They didn't have any time to recover as they both jumped back to dodge vertical strikes from Naruto and Drako.
Naruto and Drako each engaged one of the swordsmen. Naruto had Raiga and Drako was fighting Zabuza
Naruto swung vertically and Raiga rolled to the side and threw twin horizontal slashes towards Naruto's chest but Naruto brought his sword back up and blocked. Naruto jumped up and put his feet on the flat side of his sword and pushed off forcing them apart.
Drako had the advantage in strength but Zabuza had the advantage in skill from years of experience. Drako spun around and threw a large swing that Zabuza was forced to jump back in order to avoid being cleaved in half.
Zabuza and Drako both charged each other and their blades met in front with both pushing back. Drako was winning and Zabuza realized this. Zabuza dropped his blade from his hands and rolled to the side making Drako fall forward because of the strength he was putting into the attack. Zabuza kicked Drako back and he flew into Naruto.
Zabuza picked up his sword and walked back next to Raiga.
"Ok, they are together now, and we can't beat them one on one because they hold the advantage in swordsmanship over us."
Good idea, we definitely have the advantage in teamwork.
"Let's Go" Naruto said as Drako shot forward first with Naruto following.
Raiga raised his swords and Zabuza prepared for a swing. Drako and Naruto both split and were charging their previous opponents. Raiga smirked "too easy" Lightning Strike
Zabuza met Drako in a stalemate again.
Lightning rained from the sky hitting Naruto, but he poofed into smoke.
"Shadow clone?" Raiga asked
The real Naruto swung around from Drako's back and punched Zabuza in the face knocking him back.
Naruto continued threw and met Raiga's swords in a stalemate. This time Drako was the one to assist and he dropped down and grabbed Raiga his injured shoulder and threw him towards Zabuza.
"Damn brats are pretty good at teamwork, guess we got to do the same" Raiga said as his right arm went limp.
"Yea but you aren't much help, and DAMN IT where is Haku?" Zabuza said in frustration.
"Looking for her" Ino called pointing to the unconscious Haku.
"What how did you catch Haku, she is faster than you" Zabuza said
"Sasuke maybe, but me I am a whole lot faster" Ino said proudly
"You bitch" Zabuza yelled as he charged Ino while releasing killer intent
Ino was scared and could not move. Zabuza laughed and brought his sword up for a vertical slash.
"Zabuza lo.. Raiga called out but never finished courtesy of Drako's tail knocking him to the side
Zabuza continues his slash but it stopped just above Ino's head.
"You call her a bitch again and I will chop your body up and feed you to the fish" Naruto said his voice full of venom.
"Why what are you going to do" Zabuza said smirking
Go ahead Naruto Drako said as he appeared behind Naruto next to Ino with unconscious Raiga.
"Fine, Zabuza you lose"
"This battle is far from over" Zabuza replied
"We will see" Naruto moved his right hand with his word behind his back and did handseals. The sky above them quickly became dark and full of lightning running through it
Dance of Blades Naruto disappeared into the storm
Zabuza was scared because he could not sense Naruto at all
"What where did he go?"
'Right here" Naruto said as he punched Zabuza in the face with his free hand
Naruto disappeared back into the storm. The sound from the lightning and thunder was too intense for sasuke and he passed out. Drako and Ino were holding their ears.
Zabuza was surrounded by lightning strikes all around him. Less than 10 seconds after the lightning started Zabuza was on the floor panting, hundreds of slashes on him.
"Do you surrender Zabuza" Naruto asked with his sword at Zabuza's throat
Zabuza looked around at his unconscious partners and slumped his shoulders "I surrender"
"Good" and Naruto knocked him unconscious
"O good job Naruto now we have everyone unconscious great" Ino yelled at him as Naruto and Drako resealed their repression seals and put their weights back on
"Don't worry you take Raiga's swords and Haku's needles and me and Drako will get the rest, just let me talk to Kyuubi" Naruto said
Naruto concentrated and was in front of kyuubi's cage "Hey Kyuubi can you refill my chakra"
Sure, got nothing better to do and red chakra burst forth energizing Naruto
Drako stayed in his large form and picked up Zabuza and Raiga and started walking back.
Ino had gotten the weapons and Naruto created 20 shadow clones to carry Zabuza's sword and Kakashi and sasuke
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Back at Tazuna's
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everybody was awake except for Raiga and Zabuza. Haku was still tied up and a shadow clone was seated beside her.
Naruto and Drako were eating and Kakashi and sasuke were talking about something. Ino was helping Tsunami with the dishes. Tazuna was reading something.
"So Tazuna how long will it take to finish the bridge?" Naruto asked
"Hmmm, I would say about another week or two." Tazuna said
"What if I gave you as many men as you needed ?"
"Maybe a day then, why are you going to?" Tazuna said
"Yea, shadow clones have multiple uses" Naruto smiled
Zabuza woke up at this time. "Wha.. What am I doing here, why didn't you kill me ?"
Will you quiet down we are eating
"Well Zabuza, you are defeated and now our prisoner" Kakashi said smiling
"Well what are you going to do now ?" Zabuza said
"Well lets see, we could kill you, or Drako can kill you"
Drako dropped his food and looked up Really? Zabuza did not like the look on Drako's face
Naruto, Kakashi, Drako, Haku and Zabuza all stopped suddenly and looked to the front door.
"Let's Go" Naruto said as he jumped up and went to the door followed by Ino, Drako and Zabuza being carried by Kakashi. Sasuke was pissed that he did not know what was going on and quickly followed.
When they exited the house they saw Gato and an army of thugs standing around
"Ah, Zabuza you have failed me. It's a good thing I wasn't planning on paying you anyway"
"You bastard, I would kill you if I wasn't tied u…" Zabuza stopped as he felt his hands freed. He looked back to see Naruto with a kunai.
"We are no longer enemies, correct?" Kakashi asked
"Correct, I no longer have a reason to kill the old man, and probably couldn't do it" Zabuza said
Here Drako emerged from the house and tossed him his sword
I am guessing you want to kill them
" I actually like you dragon"
you aren't that bad either
"well I got some people to kill" Zabuza said as he stepped forward. He was followed by Naruto and Drako.
"What you don't think we are going to just watch?" Naruto said sarcastically
10 seal release and Naruto's hair whitened and Drako transformed to his large form in a cloud of flame, all three drew their swords. Most of the thugs were now scared because the three were extremely terrifying.
"Anyone who wants to live, had better leave now" Naruto called out
Many of the thugs left running, but 50 still remained.
"You wont be able to touch me, you are outnumbered" Gato yelled as he moved to the middle of the group
"O well maybe we can fix that" Naruto said as he made handseals. Chain Lightning
All of the thugs were now down for the count and the only one left was Gato.
He's all yours Zabuza
"Sounds good" Zabuza said as he charged. He quickly appeared in front of him and sliced him in half through his torso.
He returned to the group to see everyone outside the house, Raiga and Haku were both untied and Drako and Naruto had their repression seals on
Thanks guys, make me transform and not get to do anything
"Well what do you plan on doing now?" Kakashi asked
"I guess we are going to have to leave, because hunter-nin will no doubt be close" Zabuza said as he put his sword on his back
"Well you could come back to Konoha, Our Hokage would probably give you a pardon and make you a shinobi of leaf" Naruto said
"And how are you so sure about that brat?" Zabuza said
"I know the old man and besides we could use some good shinobi" Naruto said smiling because of his friendship with the Hokage
"Well I am in, Haku?"
"Yes, I would like to live in a village" Haku replied
Raiga?
"No, I think I am going to go back to a little village where a few of my friends live."
"Ok then, we will leave in 2 days" Kakashi said
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
So Naruto went with Tazuna to the bridge and finished it in one day and now everyone was at the end of the bridge, even the villagers
"We owe you our lives, with all that you have done for us" Tazuna said
"Aww it was nothing" Ino said smiling
"Ok well we had best get going" Kakashi said
"Wait we still don't have a name for the bridge" Inari called
"How about, the great Naruto Bridge?" Tazuna said
"No that wouldn't be fair to Drako, he's my partner, and if you named it after both of us it would be too long" Naruto said
Ya, makes sense, how about Ino Drako said with an evil grin
"How about………… The Beautiful Ino Bridge" Naruto said
"No, I barely did anything here, name it after someone else" Ino said embarrassed
"But that doesn't change the fact that you are beautiful" Naruto said with a fox grin
Ino blushed and looked down.
"Then it is settled" Tazuna called "This is now the Beautiful Ino Bridge!!!!!!"
The villagers cheered and called out their goodbyes as team 7 and Zabuza and Haku left for Konoha.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The way home
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So brat, how are you and the dragon so strong for gennin?" Zabuza asked
They smiled "Well we had a special sensei and Drako's Dad"
"Drako's dad?" They all asked except for Ino and Naruto
"O yea you haven't met him, and I bet he could give us a ride" Naruto thought
Yea then we could get back to Ichiraku faster
"Those two, always thinking about Ramen" Ino sighed
"Awww, Ino I think about you too" Naruto said causing Ino to blush
"Here goes" Summoning Jutsu
A large puff of smoke appeared that extended above the tree line. Everyone was scared because of the size
A large roar and Ragnarock came forward
Hey son, Naruto how are you?
"Hey Ragnarock could you give us a ride back to Konoha?"
You called me here for a taxi surface?
That and to show off my dad Drako smiled
That's a different story, well then everyone hop on Ragnarock bent down and everyone climbed on his back
Konoha here we come
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Konoha
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone was going on with their normal routines. That was until a large gust came forth blowing everything around. Ragnarock landed and the ground shook
In the Hokage Tower Sandaime just sighed
"Naruto what have you done now?"
