Sorry I haven't updated in a while having problems with school (DANM YOU 8TH GRADE!). I want… no need reviews. I need to hear what people think about my story. And I want people's suggestions and all that other stuff. And if I like the idea I'll put it in. I want people to take any original ideas that I came up with and make their own story if they want. And sorry for the rambling just wanted to say what's on my mind. And now for the next chapter of True Strength.

True Strength

1 Year Later.

It had been a good year for Team 7. They had been on over four hundred D-ranked missions. Two hundred of which had been chasing after a cat named Tora. The rest Naruto would show off to the daughters of the people who hired them and get a date every single time. He would have a make out session with the girls until their father had beat the crap out of him. Sasuke had become stronger and learned two new jutsus from Naruto. Sakura had become a lot stronger ever since she got totally told off by Sasuke about how weak she was. She went on one date with Naruto. Before Naruto could even try to kiss her. Her parents stormed into the restaurant and took her away. They had just been assigned a mission to protect a bridge builder.

"Naruto stop trying to act so cool!" yelled Sakura after Naruto threw a kunai at a white bunny.

"Sakura-chan there is someone here." Said Naruto in a nervous voice.

"GET DOWN!" Naruto and Kakashi yelled as he pushed Sakura into Sasuke.

"Dobe." Said Sasuke.

"Naruto what was that for?" she complained while getting up.

When they looked at him it was good that he had pushed them out of the way. Naruto was holding a giant sword in between his hands. Everyone looked at him wide eyed.

"Hmm. Seems you guys are better than I thought." Came a voice out of no where. Mist started to seep into the area.

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura defend Tazuna." Said Kakashi as he lifted up his forehead protector. Sasuke grew angry. "Why should we! I bet I could take him on alone!" screamed Sasuke as he took out a kunai. Naruto had thrown the sword at a tree and went to Tazuna. "Listen to sensei he is probably right." Naruto said as he got out a scroll.

"Shut up dobe you don't know what you're talking about." Just when Sasuke said that a ninja appeared behind him. "You should listen to your peers kid. And now Tazuna…you die." The ninja said as he swung his sword. It was blocked by another sword that that had a dragon carved into it that had red eyes. "You won't be hurting anyone!" screamed Naruto.

This stunned everyone even Zabuza. "Looks like the kid knows how to play." Said Zabuza as he kicked Naruto away. Sakura jumped in front of Tazuna. "You…you won't be touching him." Said Sakura as she held up her kunai shakeingly. "So be it." Said Zabuza as he dashed towards Sakura aiming his sword at her gut. Her eyes widened. 'Am I gonna die.' She thought.

She closed her eyes waiting for death. She felt a slight cut on her stomach area and something warm and gooey covering her. She wasn't stupid she knew this was blood. She didn't want to open her eyes. 'Don't open your eyes. Don't open your eyes. Don't open your eyes. Don't open your eyes.' She kept on thinking to herself. But she knew she had to.

She opened her eyes and what she saw would scar her for life. She saw Naruto standing in front of her with Zabuza's sword through him with the tip of it in her. She stared wide eyed for seconds that seemed like an hour. "S…Sakura-chan. I…I'm sorry I didn't come sooner." He said as he raised his fist and slammed it into Zabuza's sword. "Danchaku." He whispered. The blade cracked just a tiny bit. Zabuza took out the blade and looked at it.

"It seems that you have managed to crack my weapon kid. Give yourself a pat on the back." He said as he kicked Naruto into a far away tree in the forest. Naruto looked up and saw one thing he loved. A girl. The girl was wearing blue and brown kimono and for some reason had a mask in her hand. The part that Naruto liked about was that he could see up her kimono. She looked down and saw him. She disappeared and reappeared in front of him blushing even more than Hinata did.

"What the hell do you think your doing pervert." The girl said as she slapped him.

"One of the most beautiful girls in the world. But the problem is that you're working with Zabuza. As you might know my name is Naruto." said Naruto whiled looking at her. She blushed at the remark but quickly regained her composure. "If you know that I'm working with him then don't hit on me. And my name is Haku if you need to know." She said as she pulled out some senbon needles.

Naruto quickly got up and surprised her. She threw the senbon needles at him but he moved so they wouldn't hit any vital spots. He pinned her hands against the tree with his. And he pinned her legs by putting one foot against them.

"Before I get knocked out I'll give you two presents." He said as he smiled. "What are you talking…" She didn't get to finish because his lips met hers. She went wide-eyed and tried to break the kiss. He broke it for her.

"What the hell pervert. Taking advantage of me." She yelled but not loud enough for anyone to hear. "Well I wanted to do that because I probably won't get to do it later. And since I won't have anything to identify you by…" he said as he brought his head to her neck and bit it. "EEEK!" Haku yelped. She moaned just a little but noticed the pressure on her neck stopped. He was knocked out form the poison in the senbon needles.

She pushed him off while looking at the big red mark on her neck. "A pervert took my first kiss." She muttered to herself. She looked at him again. "At least he was hot." She said as she put on her mask.

Naruto woke up in a white room that looked like a normal apartment room. "Guess I'm not in a hospital." He said to himself. He walked outside of the room and saw a woman with blue hair washing dishes. He walked over to her and asked. "How long have I been out?" The woman turned to him and got a glad look on her face.

"Oh your finally awake. You've been out cold for about a week now." Said the woman.

Naruto rubbed his eyes and saw something he loved. A girl with nice curves. He smiled a perverted smile and the woman got a confused look on her face. "Hi my names Naruto. What's yours?" he asked with a wink. The woman blushed.

"Well I'm Tsunami. It's nice to meet you." Said Tsunami.

Just then a kid came out and said. "Mother I'm going out for a walk OK." Said the young boy. "OK Inari. Just come back shortly." Tsunami said while getting back to washing dishes. "OK mother." And with that Inari left without even noticing Naruto.

There was a short silence and Naruto decided to break it. "So why does a young beautiful woman like you have a kid?" Asked Naruto while smiling. Tsunami blushed. "Well you see…" Tsunami told her life story and everything that happened to Inari, her, and Tazuna. When she was done. Naruto went to go take a shower. Right when he got in the shower Inari came running in panting.

"Mother! A lot of Gatou's men are heading this way! We need to get out of here!" Yelled Inari. "What? Ok let's go. Naruto-kun c'mon!" yelled Tsunami as she grabbed Inari. 'Naruto-kun' Inari at the same time. They were about to exit the house when Gatou's men burst in through the door.

"Were do you think your going?" said the man in the middle. They tied up Tsunami and Inari to a post.

"Gatou only wants the boy. The woman is no use to us." Said one of the men as he lifted up his sword to her neck.

(Inari's POV)

"No!" yelled Inari. He blinked and heard a sickening sound of flesh being cut. "Mother?" Inari asked to himself. He opened his eyes and saw the man who was going to kill his mother, dead on the floor. And before that stood a boy with a sword in his hand. It was Naruto. Inari watched as Naruto charged at the men.

(Naruto's POV)

He had just heard a scream from down stairs. He put on his clothes and took out a scroll. He put the scroll in an indent in his gauntlet.

"Fumetsu Heijin." He whispered. The scroll melted into his gauntlet. The gauntlet grew a slot in it that looked like a sword could fit into it. He snuck downstairs and found Tsunami about to be killed by a man holding a blade to her neck. He took his left hand and put it over his right gauntlet and slid it over. "Anrokku." He whispered as he snuck up behind the man. A blade made out of chakra popped out of the slit and he slashed at the man's neck. The man's head came off and he got sprayed by blood.

'This was my favorite jacket to.' He thought to himself as he turned to face the other men. He dashed at the men and he slashed at the first one. He cut the man in half. He went through the rest of the men in a similar fashion. When he was done he turned to Tsunami who was crying and Inari who were staring wide-eyed at him.

(Regular POV)

He used the blade to cut the ropes loose. He went up to Tsunami and hugged her. "I'm sorry you had to see that. But you're safe now. You and Inari won't be getting hurt okay." He kissed her on the forehead and then got up. He turned to Inari. "Good job warning your mom kid. You may have done it late but still good job. I'm gonna go and kill this Gatou man and then everything will be alright." He said as he turned the other way.

"You can't take him on he has to many men. You can't win. You're going to die." Said Inari while looking down. "Hey kid how do you know? If I don't try I won't know. If I don't do something who will? I'm gonna go kill him. And you rally up the villagers to help you fight ok. If you fight together you can get him." He said as he disappeared.

(At The Bridge.)

"This is your time Zabuza. You die here and now." Said Kakashi as he charged at Zabuza with his chidori. Just before Kakashi was going to hit Zabuza, Haku got in the way. Zabuza stared wide-eyed. He tried to push her out of the way but Kakashi's dog's kept him form doing it.

"Zabuza…I wish I could stay with you longer." She said to herself. She closed her eyes readying for death.

"Wish granted Haku." Came a voice that was familiar voice. She opened her eyes and found Naruto standing in front of her holding Kakashi's Chidori in his. His whole arm was bloody.

"Naruto…why?" asked Kakashi. "Because for one, he isn't our enemy anymore. Two, I want to go out on a date with Haku. And three… with an arm like this girls will have to feel sympathetic…Oh yeah and… OWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Naruto yelled out in pain.

Everyone there sweat dropped. "Wait what do you mean I'm not your enemy anymore?" asked Zabuza. Naruto let go of Kakashi's hand and turned towards Zabuza and Haku. "Because I killed Gatou." He stated. "WHAT!" yelled Zabuza. "How am I supposed to get money now you little brat?" yelled Zabuza. Naruto took a huge bag out of nowhere and tossed it to Zabuza. "Come to Konoha and I'll give you the rest." Said Naruto. Zabuza and Haku opened the bag and there jaws dropped to the floor. It was filled with at least one hundred million ryo.

"W…Where did you get this.?" Asked Haku. "I got it from Gatou. He offered it for his life and I said yes. But I poisoned a kunai I put in him so he's dead." Answered Naruto with a smile. Zabuza and Haku looked at each other. "You got a deal." Said Zabuza and Haku in unison.

"Naruto what makes you think they could come to Konoha with us?" asked Kakashi. "Because Ojiisan owes me a favor." Answered Naruto. "We'll see." Said Kakashi. There was a short silence when they heard a scream.

"NO! Sasuke-kun…" screamed Sakura. Naruto ran there to see what happened and Haku looked down to the ground and laughed.

When Naruto got there he saw Sakura crying over a dead Sasuke. Naruto's eyes widened.

"Sakura… What happened?" asked Naruto. Sakura ran over to him and hugged him.

"Naruto… He's dead. Sasuke-kun is dead." She cried. Naruto looked at the lifeless corpse of Sasuke and smiled. "Sakura as much as I'd like to take advantage of this to make you mine… The ways of the heart have a way of making things work out and eventually you'll be mine." Said Naruto with a smile. Sakura just looked at him confused. "Look at Sasuke." He stated.

Sakura looked at Sasuke and saw his chest moving up and down. "Sasuke-kun!" She yelled out as she ran over to him. After that they went to a festival for celebration of Wave Country being free from Gatou and the completion of the bridge.

Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Haku were at the festival in a ramen shop.

"Naruto you eat to much ramen." Said Sakura as Naruto finished his twentieth bowl.

"I don't see your point Sakura-chan." Said Naruto as he finished his twenty-fifth bowl.

"Dobe… Sakura's right. Let's go this is getting boring watching him eat." Said Sasuke as he got up. "Yeah." Said Sakura. "But guys I'm still hungry."

"Naruto-kun if we leave now… I'll let you… continue were we left off when we first met." Haku said as she looked at the ground blushing. Naruto's head instantly perked up. "OK Haku-chan!" and with that Naruto grabbed Haku and dragged her back to Tazuna's house.

"I wonder what they're talking about." Said Sakura. "Only Kami-sama knows." Said Sasuke.

Notes

Sorry I haven't updated like I said earlier 8th grade sucks.

So what do you think of Haku as a girl huh.

And I decided this is gonna be a Naruto/Harem but it's gonna work slowly with certain girls.

And who do you think I should make his first girlfriend. Haku, Kanami, or both! 
