Hey, guys, I'm back, and you know what that means! Chapter 5 is here to stay and say hey!
This chapter is like a side part to the Wave Arc: it didn't happen, but it'll show some more power boosting and serve to give some in-depth character development.
Right, and there is the rape implications stated in the summary. They are present in this chapter.
Chapter 5:
The Ice Blade
"Wake up."
"Ugh…"
"Wake up!"
"Gnh…"
"WAKE UP!"
"Ughhhhh…"
SLAP!
"FUCK! SASUKE!" Hinata heard one blonde-haired ninja yell. She looked up as a laughing Sasuke jumped down the stairs, with an angry and disheveled-looking Naruto following. She giggled as the two ran around the table.
BOOM!
Kakashi had appeared and stuck his arms out. Both Naruto and Sasuke had run into them and had been thrown to the ground forcibly. The two appeared unconscious. She giggled some more while a brooding eight-year-old slid into the table across from her.
After both Tazuna and his daughter, Tsunami, had settled in, the seven of them ate a mostly happy breakfast.
Mostly…
"Why do you even try?" the kid mumbled. All the ninja shot him a curious glance.
"What do you mean?" Hinata asked.
"Why do you try to fight Gatou? You're all going to die! Just like my father!" he shouted.
"Inari-" Tsunami began. The kid, now identified as Inari, cut her off.
"YOU ALL KNOW NOTHING OF PAIN!" he wailed. Sasuke snapped at this as he stood up to yell.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" he screamed back. Everyone was silent.
"YOU THINK YOU HAD IT BAD! OH, YOUR FATHER DIED! BOO-HOO! WELL GUESS WHAT? ALMOST MY ENTIRE CLAN-OVER 100 OF MY RELATIVES- DIED IN ONE SINGLE NIGHT! NOW THERE ARE JUST FOUR OF US!" he shouted. Everyone looked to the ground, except Inari, who was sobbing.
Sasuke lightened up a bit, but still appeared angry.
"But look at me. You don't see me sitting around crying. If you're angry at Gatou for taking your dad's life, shouldn't you do something about it? Stop being a bitch, and grow up. Be a man." he asked. With that, he stormed out of the room and into the forest. Naruto excused himself from the table.
"I'll go calm him down." He said. Kakashi nodded.
"Hinata, you and I will be on guard duty today." She resigned herself to fate.
Meanwhile, back in Konoha, a certain other Hyuga felt as if someone had come to their common senses.
'Soon all the world shall realize their own fates…just like this one in front of me.' He thought as his teammate challenged him to yet another fight while shouting about his flames of youth.
Sasuke raged through the forest until he reached a clearing. He sat down and breathed heavily and deeply. Not a minute later, his best friend, Naruto, landed besides him.
"Sasuke, that wasn't really necessary." He stated with a frown on his face.
"I know, but it's been bottled up inside me for so long…his attitude just unscrewed the bottle." He stated wisely. Naruto nodded, using this as a reasonable pretext. Suddenly, Katuru spoke to him.
"Kid, if you want, I can enable you to use Ice jutsu." She said.
'Really? How?' he asked.
"One of my abilities is being able to give my host any bloodlines should they come across it. You could have Ice, Sharingan, and Byakugan if you want!" she said.
'Ice, Sharingan, and Byakugan, eh?' Naruto mused for a second. He came to a decision.
'Ice, yes. But I already have a dojutsu- the most powerful one at that. Besides, I don't want to disrespect Sasuke and Hinata by taking their bloodlines. So just give me the Ice Style please.' He asked.
A moment later, he could feel a searing pain in his head. He dropped to the ground, clutching his head and shaking violently. Sasuke stood over him worried.
"Do not fear, Sasuke…if I recall correctly, Naruto is receiving a bloodline from Katuru."
'Why does he get a bloodline and I don't?'
"Sasuke, you have the highest affinity for Fire Jutsu ever, so much so that you could lay down in over 1000 degree fires and only feel a little uncomfortable. Isn't that enough?" Kawasaki said.
'Hn,' was all that the Uchiha replied. He turned his attention back to Naruto, who had ceased shaking and was still now.
After a few minutes, Naruto shot up and the two collided heads with each other.
"SHIT!" Sasuke said.
"Bastard! Ice Style: Gale Force Winds," Naruto said. He really didn't understand the situation, so he had attacked Sasuke because he was hurting and Sasuke was the only one around.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow for a split second before strong, icy winds hit him and sent him back several meters. The ground started to gather frost. The leaves on nearby trees rustled and most fell. Even a few trees who took the direct hit were knocked over. All in all, it was definitely at least a "B" ranked jutsu-his arms had frozen over because he had used them to take the full blast.
Naruto blinked twice before he realized that he had encased Sasuke's arms in blocks of ice.
"Oh fuck, I'm sorry Sasuke." Naruto apologized.
"YOU STUPID SACK OF SHIT, GET ME OUT OF-oh!" He said as Kawasaki immediately melted the ice off. A few seconds later, and the water drops that were on him evaporated as well.
Naruto offered a hand to the genin who lay before him on the ground. Sasuke took the offering and pulled himself up. The two grinned at each other, despite the previous comments, before Sasuke spoke up.
"So Naruto, we should probably-Naruto?" he said as the blonde suddenly spaced out. He then returned to attention.
"Sasuke, we should go about 1 mile to the west." Naruto stated. Sasuke raised another eyebrow.
"Why are we going there?" he asked cautiously.
"Andorra tells me that an ancient sword lies there. Hyorinmaru…" he said. Sasuke's eyes widened.
"No way…let's go then!" he said, having heard of the myth of the Ice Blade. The two took off at high speeds.
A few minutes later, they landed in another tree and looked at the thug base. They took a guess that Gatou's thugs were partly stationed at this location. The duo looked at each other.
"You want to do it?" Naruto asked, letting his best friend call the shot.
"…Yea, we're here now, so we can't turn back. Besides, I've got a new jutsu that I'm itching to try out." he said. Naruto looked on as Sasuke made several hand signs.
"Fire Style: Fire Clone Jutsu," he said as one hundred clones of himself came to life. They were solid, just like shadow clones, but there was an intense heat about them.
Sasuke nodded at them as they all made a battle cry. When the surprised thugs looked up, they saw 100 of the same people charge at them. They tried to get ready, but a few causalities took place before they were full prepared to battle.
Just as the numbers game appeared to be in Sasuke's favor, a blue and white blur slashed a giant line through the crowd. Clones burst into flames and thugs fell over, dead. At the far end of the gap was the fake hunter-ninja- Haku, they remembered. She looked at them before dashing off into the base.
Naruto and Sasuke immediately followed her. They could see her running down the halls.
"SHIT! She's probably going for the blade too!" Sasuke said as they chased her through the long and twisting maze that was the thugs' base.
"Don't you think I fucking know? Lightning Style: Lightning Wolves," Naruto said as three wolves appeared in the narrow hallway in front of the duo. They immediately chased after Haku.
Haku looked back to see the three wolves made of lightning charge her. She made a few one-handed hand seals, much to both Naruto's and Sasuke's shock.
"Ice Style: Ice Wolves," she said as three wolves-made of ice- appeared and faced the three lightning wolves. They immediately attacked each other. Naruto and Sasuke dashed by as the wolves fought each other.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu," Sasuke said as the big fireball seared down the hallway, taking up the entire space as it traveled. Haku made some more hand signs as she ran.
"Water Style: Water Barrier," she said, using a jutsu neither genin had heard of before. A water wall appeared and blocked off the whole hallway. The fireball slammed into it, and the wall collapsed.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu," Naruto proclaimed as four clones appeared in front of him. They all used chakra to speed up.
Haku looked back again to see four clones rushing her. She grabbed three senbon needles and threw them. The collided with two clones. The other two continued to chase her. She did a few hand signs.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu," she said as the water dragon appeared and throttled the other two clones.
Finally, Haku saw a wide room in front of her rapidly approaching. She grinned as a pedestal in the middle of the room. It held her prize.
The blade was like any other katana, except the hilt was an icy blue color. It was well-crafted as well as she had ever seen a blade. The butt of the blade was the head of a dragon. The blade itself was made of polished steel. It appeared normal, but there was an aura of power that grew stronger the closer Haku and Naruto drew to it.
Haku dove for the blade. 'Almost there!' she said. Her fingertips were at the blade's hilt-
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough," Naruto called from behind. A gust of wind hit Haku and sent her flying into a wall. Meanwhile, Hyorinmaru went flipping through the air and almost hit the ground. Sasuke caught the majestic blade, but soon dropped it as it sent an impossible amount of pain through his arms. He screamed in agony.
"Don't touch the blade! Hyorinmaru is an Ice Spirit; I am a Fire Spirit. We are incompatible, and will only harm each other." Kawasaki said.
'Spirits? What are Spirits?' Sasuke asked.
"Spirits are entities that represent a certain element. Both the demons and the angels are the highest level Spirit one can achieve. Hyorinmaru is a demon; he isn't, however, a tailed beast. Therefore, he is a lower demon." Kawasaki explained.
As for Haku and Naruto, they had begun a conversation.
"You know, I think that if we had met earlier, we could've been friends." Naruto stated.
"Perhaps…but do you have precious people?" Haku asked.
"I have a village full of precious people." Naruto responded.
"Do you not wish to protect your precious people?" Haku asked.
"I will do anything to protect my people, because I am a ninja of Konoha, and I never go back on my word. That's my ninja way!" Naruto replied. Haku nodded.
"Very good. As to why we fight… you are on a mission to eliminate my precious person. I cannot allow you all to do that." she stated.
"I understand that. I see we have no choice…but we aren't on a mission to harm Zabuza. We don't have to fight." he pleaded.
Haku contemplated this for a moment. "I am sorry, but Zabuza wishes to kill the bridge builder. I will do as he asks."
"Why do you do this for a criminal anyway?" he asked.
"He saved me from my terrible fate. Let me tell you my life story.
I was born to the Yuki tribe in the Snow Country about 13 years ago. My mother was a ninja-turned-housewife. My father was a mere carpenter. We lived a modest life, and I grew up happy as can be. That is, until the event happened.
One day, when I was ten, I ran inside to tell my mother something I had just did. I showed her what I thought was a special skill: I made a miniature ice swan for her. In retrospect, I understand that it was my bloodline's first awakening. Anyways, I thought she would be proud of me; instead, I received a smack to the face and a warning to never do it again. I kept it a secret, just as Mom had told me to do; however, one other had seen…my dad…" at this, Haku began to cry. Naruto went over to her to hug her and comfort her.
"Two weeks later, I came home to see my house a mess and my mother dead on the ground. Before I could even respond to her death, I noted that there was a gang of thugs standing over her. Their ringleader was my father. He turned to me, ready to kill me. But first, they had to have their fun…"
Flashback
"Dad?" Haku asked, trembling. Her father and four others stood over her motionless mother's body. They eyed her like a piece of candy.
"What size is she?" one asked. Haku was rather confused until she realized they were talking about her chest. It was large for someone her age…real large.
"She's at least a C-cup by now. Haku, come here." her father replied. Haku's instincts told her to run, but her fear kept her frozen (no pun intended) to her spot. Two others grabbed her arms and held her so that she couldn't escape.
"D-d-dad?" she asked while struggling against their grip. Instead, the other two and her father walked over to her. They looked at her greedily and started to grope her.
Haku moaned in both agony and pleasure. It was a strange feeling that she thought would probably feel good. However, her breasts were very delicate, and they weren't being nearly as delicate in playing with them. Meanwhile, her father was smacking her plump, firm butt. She felt much violated by all of these actions.
One of the men ripped open her kimono, revealing her boobs. She gasped as two rough and calloused hands roughly played with her breast once more. Her father was not helping her either. He was rubbing at her pussy. Meanwhile, she felt something poking at her ass.
Together, the two men took off the bra while her father removed all of her clothing underneath. She realized she was being raped, but without her hands, she was helpless.
The two men in front of her greedily grabbed the pink nipples on her breast and began licking and sucking on them, biting occasionally. Meanwhile, her father had taken out his dick. A seven inch cock stood fully erect before her. It was rubbing at her pussy.
"Kamu, Sasai, step away from her." Her father told them. They did as commanded. The two bounding her let go as well. She quickly tried to do something- anything, but before she could, her father was upon her.
She was pinned between her father and the wall, with her legs spread open. Her father was holding them spread so she couldn't protest. He was also sucking on one nipple while grinding his cock against her vagina. She wished to get away- but where to?
"Alright Haku, get ready for the most brutal fucking you'll ever have- hours upon hours of dicks in your mouth, up your pussy and in your asshole!" he said while the other four cheered.
He slowly aligned his head with the entrance, getting ready to push himself into his daughter's vagina, when Haku lost consciousness. A blinding icy blue aura exploded around her, as her head shot back up. With an angelic voice, she called out-
"Angel Style: Ice Style: Piercing Needles," Haku said. No one save herself left that house that night alive.
Flashback end
By now, Haku was flat out crying. Naruto was too busy comforting her to notice anything else. Sasuke was rolling around in pain, but he didn't care. The blade lay forgotten next to him, but he didn't notice. The thugs were starting to regroup, but he really didn't care.
"Did they…" Naruto asked, leaving the question out for interpretation. Haku understood what he meant by that.
"No…I killed them… and then I…lived alone for…a year…I was raped twice…and then…Zabuza found me… and he took me in…" she said in between sobs. Naruto understood now why she was so devoted to Zabuza.
"Take it." he said a few minutes later after she had stopped crying. She gave him a quizzical look.
"Take…what?" she asked, confused. Naruto sighed and picked up Hyorinmaru.
"Take the blade." He said, giving it to her. She gave him another perplexed look.
"Why are you giving your enemy such a powerful weapon?" she asked softly.
"With all that you've gone through in life, you deserve to have it. Plus, it would be better off in your hands. I have a feeling that only you could wield such a blade. I know of your ice bloodline and the Ice Angel. You can have it." Naruto said. She looked at him for a second before she took off her hunter mask. It revealed a beautiful face-one Naruto was entranced by.
"Thank you." She said softly. Her hazel brown eyes stared into his cerulean blue eyes. Something was urging both of them to get ever so closer.
'Her face…it's so beautiful…she's so beautiful…and what she went through in life…she's most definitely an angel.' Naruto thought.
'Is this…what love is? What am I feeling for him? We are enemies, but he knows me better than anyone else! And his eyes…oh, his eyes are just so…' Haku thought before closing it and the rest of the world out.
Their faces drew closer…their eyes closed…and their lips met…
"Oh? What do we have here? A boy and a girl kissing over our legendary blade?" someone asked. They opened their eyes to see a blade in between the two of them. The followed the path of the blade to a thug who was grinning wickedly at them.
Haku's instincts told her to move once more, but someone grabbed her from behind. His voice could be heard.
"Oh, boss, she's real pretty. Look at her jugs and ass, man! We're going to have plenty of fun-" he stated. Haku had been scared that she was to be raped again. Before that could even happen, however, Naruto had decapitated the man with Hyorinmaru. His eyes were icy blue.
"Naruto let me out!" Andorra screamed in his head. He obliged by doing several hand signs no one else in the room had ever seen before.
"Angel Style: Summoning Jutsu: Andorra," Naruto spoke. His voice, on the other hand, was angelic as well. Sasuke knew that Katuru had taken over, because his eyes had turned to a pure white color. Besides, for someone to summon an angel would kill them; but with Katuru inside of Naruto, she would keep him alive.
A puff of black smoke revealed a very excited looking, six foot tall man with a much scarred face-it revealed all the battles he had fought in and survived. He was dressed in all black, but two red wings sprouted from his back. A scythe hung from his back. He grinned wickedly at the crowd of thugs in front of him that the ninjas only realized then. He drew his scythe.
"Who's first?" he asked. All of the thugs stared at the holy creation before them. Nobody shifted a muscle until the thug that had separated Naruto and Haku's kiss swung his blade at Andorra. The angel scoffed.
"Too easy." Andorra stated as he ducked under the slice. With one quick and fluid motion, the man had lost both legs. Several slices could be heard after that. When Andorra wiped his weapon clean, the thug fell into pieces.
"BOSS!" all of the thugs screamed. They set death glares on Andorra, who was completely unaffected by all of the killer intent. He just gave a bored look at them and started to rip them apart.
Meanwhile, Sasuke had retrieved Naruto, who had fainted after the summoning. He glanced at Andorra, who was still ripping through the crowd happily. He took another glance for Haku, but neither she nor Hyorinmaru was present. He sighed and carried Naruto away back to Tazuna's house.
Haku arrived in Zabuza's hideout with the blade. She saw him lying in the bed, with a man who was dressed like a monk but had a scythe with him sitting nearby.
"Oh Haku, it seems you were successful in your trip." Zabuza stated. She nodded slowly.
"…I'm going to lie down…" she said. She had conflicting feelings at the moment, which the other two could tell. She left the room and went into her own, sheathing her blade in the corner and sleeping. She dreamt of Naruto, Zabuza, and her father.
Meanwhile, the door swung open to the house to reveal Sasuke carrying Naruto. Both Kakashi and Hinata rushed to their aid- they had came back for lunch, not to behold their current sight.
"What happened?" Kakashi demanded.
"After he went after me, he gained a new bloodline- the one that ice user, Haku, has. We then went to take out a bandit camp that was currently holding Hyorinmaru, the legendary ice blade. Unfortunately, we ran into Haku, who also went for it. After a rather…almost intimate and very close… conversation between Naruto and Haku, a bunch of thugs attacked and attempted to rape her. Naruto unleashed Andorra on them all and fainted in the process. I took him and left." Sasuke summarized.
Hinata clenched her fist in anger, but for two reasons. She was angry at Haku for trying to get close to Naruto, for one. He was her man, or would be soon! The other was at the thugs. If she hated anything, rapists were among them.
Kakashi noted her anger.
"Relax, Hinata. He said it was 'almost intimate' and 'attempted to rape,' so nothing really happened." He said to soothe her. She did calm down, but she would have a nice, long talk with Naruto when he awakes.
As soon as her thought process finished, Naruto woke up. Andorra had returned into his body.
"Naruto, are you ok?" Kakashi asked, concerned for his charge.
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei." he replied, though he seemed distracted.
"Naruto, can we talk?" Hinata asked hopefully. He didn't even look at her.
"Not right now…I need to sleep." he mumbled before getting up and heading towards his and Sasuke's room. He climbed into his bed, and slept peacefully. He dreamt of Haku, Hinata, and the mixed feelings he was having.
Back with Zabuza's group he was telling the monk something.
"Next time, you're going too." he said.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll go as long as Lord Jashin gets a sacrifice." he said.
"Don't fail me, Hidan." was Zabuza's reply.
And that's that!
