GHD: Loser.
Gespens: Psycho.

GHD: Now on to Chapter 3
.Gespens' Surprise and Battle with Zabuza!
Naruto stretched his arms as he walked into his apartment to go to sleep. "Ahhh… It's been a long day!" said Naruto with his eyes closed. "I think I'll go to bed now." He said. He plopped down on his bed but… He landed on the ground. "Ow! What the hell?" shouted Naruto as he jumped into the air looking at his bedroom. Or at least what was what was left of it. Nothing was in the room at all! "What happened to my room!?" he shouted. And he realized. "Baldy-sensei."
Naruto ran towards the 99th training ground to see if Gespens was there. When he arrived he saw Sasuke, and Hinata. "What are you guys doing here?" asked Naruto.
"All my stuff is gone." Replied Sasuke.
"Mine too." Said Hinata.
"You're kidding me?" said Naruto.
Then all of a sudden, Gespens appeared before them. "Hey guys, what are you doing here?"
"All my stuff is gone!" shouted Naruto.
"It is? I told them not to take it until tomorrow." Muttered Gespens.
"Told who?" asked Naruto.
"Why did they deliberately disobey me? No matter." Said Gespens before he became silent. "Konoha Bunshins, Gyaza (Leaf Clones, Gather)!" he shouted, as several copies appeared in front of them.
"You call boss?" asked one of the copies. Apparently the copy said the wrong thing, because it got a foot in the face.
"Konoha Bunshin #1, why did you disobey me?" asked Gespens.
K.B.#1 looked at his master and trembled. "It was #2!" said the bunshin pointing the one to his right.
"Is this true #2?" asked Gespens.
"No, it was #3!"
Sasuke just looked at them. His eyes bored into Gespens and the clones. "Idiots." He muttered, as Gespens and his clones began to brawl.
"Ano, Gespens-sama, what are you doing here?" asked Hinata.
"I saw you three from my house, so I decided to come here and ask why you were here." He replied.
"Your house?" said Naruto.
"Yes."
"It would have to be huge then!"
"Um… It is.
"Oh really."
"Yes, really."
"Then show it to us." Demanded Naruto.
"…Alright." Muttered Gespens as he gave in. "Follow me." He said.
He led them deep into the training ground, and after about a mile walk, Naruto saw something huge. A huge structure that was almost as big as the Hokage Monument. "What the hell is that?!" shouted Naruto as he pointed at the structure.
"My house." Said Gespens rather calmly.
"You're kidding."
"No, and we went through this already."
Naruto just stared at the 'house' with a dumb look. And all of a sudden he remembered something. "What were those things that looked like you? The were like Kage Bunshins (Shadow Clones), except they didn't disappear when you hit them."
"My Konoha Bunshins." He stated matter-of-factly.
"Why didn't they disappear?" asked Naruto.
"As long as their core remains intact, they can't be destroyed."
"Oh." Said Naruto.
"Hey Gespens, teme, what were you fighting those Bunshins for?" asked Sasuke.
"Don't call me teme. And it's because they disobeyed me. I told them to move your-." Said Gespens before he cut himself off. "How's the weather."
"Move our what?" said Sasuke as he stared at Gespens with eyes that pierced Gespens like a pair of daggers.
"Um-um-um-um-um… Gah! I told them to move your stuff!" he shouted.
"Where?!" shouted Gespens' students.
"… How about I show you around my house first." He said walking calmly to his house.
"No!"
"… I put your stuff in my house." He admitted. "So want to see my house?"
"Show us where you put our stuff." Said Naruto getting rather impatient.
"Fine." Sighed Gespens as he relented. He led them into his 'house' and brought them in. He took them through a lobby, up five flights of stairs, and three corridors, until finally they reached a large hallway full of bedrooms. In total there were twelve. One said 'Phoenix of Destiny', another said 'Dragon of Fate', and another read, 'Kunoichi of the Stars', another said 'Knight of Orihalcon', the following one said 'Fist of Stone', the next one said 'Siren of Illusion', the 'Immortal Punisher', the eighth one read, 'Exploding Feather', and the last one said 'Cosmos Sniper.
"Ano, Gespens-sama, are there any other people in this house?" asked Hinata.
"No, just the four of us." He replied.
"Then what are those doors for." She asked.
"Ever heard of the 'Forsaken Nine'?" said Gespens. (A/N: Those are people who I will tell you about later in the story.)
"The who?" asked Naruto.
"Never mind then." Said Gespens, with a seriously depressed tone of voice. "Anyways, your rooms are listed as followed. Naruto, room 199. Hinata, you get room, 197. And Sasuke, you get room 292." He said handing them each a key.
"Gespens, you seem to be an idiot. So let me say it slowly. Where. Is. Our. Stuff. Baldy?" said Naruto, as if he was talking to a child.
Gespens shot Naruto a glance. Picked him up. And threw Naruto through the door of room 199. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME BALDY!" shouted Gespens with a voice that was so loud it shook the lights on the ceiling.
Naruto quickly regained his composure and looked around the room. "Hey my stuff!"
"So, ready for the tour of my house?" asked Gespens, as he led the three through the house
.
This is where you live?"
"Yep."
"You have a private training ground, a hot spring, forty bedrooms, a laboratory, a smithy, a target course, and an obstacle course?"
"Dat's right."
Naruto gave him a 'what the hell is wrong with you?' look. "And you are even more rich than the Hyuga clan?"
"I wouldn't say that, but I am pretty close."
"So then why do you dress like you live in a shack?
In the morning, Naruto was the first to awake. He heard his stomach growl, so he went for some breakfast. But then he realized something that wasn't all that important. "Baldy-sensei didn't tell us where the food is. It's probably in the kitchen." He said as he walked out the door. "Oh wait, he didn't tell us where the kitchen is either. I'll ask him… But where is his room?" he wondered, before he started opening random doors.
First door, nothing. Second door, nothing. The door that said "Cosmos Sniper", there was a big ass TV, and a game console.
"Whoa." He said, before he closed the door. As he turned around he nearly jumped when he saw Gespens standing in front of him… Wearing nothing but his underpants. "What are you doing in your underpants?" he asked angrily.
"What were you doing in that room?" asked Gespens.
"Looking for the kitchen."
"Go to your room, jump out the window, re enter the house, and take the next three lefts." He explained. "Don't go into any of these rooms under penalty of eternal suffering. Got it?!" he snapped.
Naruto froze at Gespens. Gespens' chakra rose with his voice, sending shivers down Naruto's spine. It was as if Iruka was mad, and used all his chakra at once, times one thousand.
Gespens glared at Naruto even more. "Tch, I take that as a yes." He scoffed. "Breakfast is in ten minutes. Be there or there will be no meal for you." He said before walking off to Hinata's room to wake her up.
Naruto looked at the place where Gespens once stood before he collapsed on his knees. "Scary." Was all he could utter before he walked to breakfast.
Nine minutes later, Naruto arrived in the kitchen. He noticed that Hinata, and Sasuke were there and that no one had any food, and Gespens was at the stove cooking and hummed a happy little tune. Now wearing an apron, that said, "Eat My Food or Die!" 'Subtle' thought Naruto.
"Breakfast people!" exclaimed Gespens as he handed Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke… A huge brown mess on a plate that smelled like someone vomited on a skunk and the skunk was run over repeatedly.
"What is this?" asked Sasuke with a disgusted look on his face.
"Oatmeal. Why?" asked Gespens.
"I-it's black." Said Hinata, trying to hold back her lunch.
"Don't worry, it tastes better than it looks." He said in a cheerful tune.
"Gespens. If I die, I'll come back from the dead and haunt you for all eternity." Said Sasuke.
"Bottoms up…" said Hinata with a grimace.
And as all three bit into the "oatmeal", they nearly vomited.
"This is horrible!" shouted Sasuke, as ran for the washroom. (A/N: By the way none of the characters except Gespens know where the washrooms are.)
"What's in this?" asked Naruto.
"Oats, milk, water, corn, fish oil, pepper." Replied Gespens. "Why?"
"Horrible." Said Hinata.
"I think, I'll skip breakfast." Said Naruto.
"Then no more meals for the day." Said Gespens simply.
"What?!"
"Anyways we need to go get our missions from the Sandaime, in three hours, so get ready." He said.
Three hours later, they received a mission from the Hokage. They had to find a run away cat. But every time they finished the mission… they had to do it again the next day.
'Will I ever get a mission, that doesn't involve the stupid cat!?' shouted Naruto in his mind
One morning, after Team 7 had 'Breakfast', Gespens burst into room panting, and sweat coming out of the holes in his mask. "Guys great news!" he shouted.
"You learned how to cook?" Joked Hinata.
"You bought hair tonic?" Joked Naruto.
"You are being hauled into an insane asylum?" replied Sasuke in a serious face.
"Shut up you weak genin!" he shouted. "Actually, we have a 'C' rank mission, to Mizu no Kuni (Water Country)! We are going to escort someone."
"Who?" asked Hinata meekly.
"I forget his name. Blah-zuna, Ta-katana. Well what ever his name is, we can do this!" he said, not remembering the name of the client.
'Idiot.' Thought Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata simoultaniously.
"Anyways, we are supossed to meet him at noon, so get packed, eat what you want, and meet us at the western gates." He said before he disappeared.
Two hours later, Team 7 appeared at the western gate. They saw an old man, and Gespens. Who was now dressed in ocean camo.
"Good, you're here, now we can start the mission." Said Gespens.
"Hey, wheres the leader of this team of super brats?" asked the old man.
"Me." Stated Gespens matter-of-factly.
"What? Your'e just a little kid! And the team is full of brats! I especially hate the short one. He looks real stupid." Said the old man.
"Haha, looks like he is making fun of you Sa-" gloated Naruto, before he cut himself off. He then measured his height to Sasuke and Hinata. "I am gonna kill ou old man!" shouted Naruto as he dashed to the old man in an attempt to strangle him.
"Naruto, it is not a good idea to smash in the skull of our client, Ta-…" said gespens as he was about say the old man's name and hold back the blonde at the same time. "Um. Sorry, but what was your name again?" asked Gespens."
Then, everybody got a anime style sweat drop and then fell over(Anime style) (A/N: I know. I love anime. Too much.).
"My name is Tazuna! The Bridge Builder God-Damnit!" Shouted Tazuna.
"Okay, no need to shout. Geez, old people." Muttered Gespens. 'I'm one to talk. My mind is older than anybody in the village.' Thought Gespens. "Well let us depart for Mizu no Kuni!" said Gespens as he walked off to the road. "Well hurry up slowpokes!" said Gespens.
"Is he always like this?" Tazuna asked Naruto.
"Yep. Well, we better go, he may make us eat one of his meals." Said Naruto as he and the rest of Team 7 walked off wit Tazuna.
About an hour into walking Gespens looked down at the ground. To his right there was a lone puddle of water. He ignored it and continued walking.
But behind him, the puddle changed form. It morphed into two humanoid shapes, and attacked Gespens with two chained weapons that wrapped around him.
"Holy Cow Pies!" shouted Gespens before he was ripped in to bloody laces.
Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata looked at their fallen leader's remains as the ribbons hit the ground with a grotesque thud.
The shapes which have now taken form into two Shinobi gazed at the team. "One down." They said as they used a Shunshin no Jutsu. They reappeared behind Naruto and held their gauntlets to him. "Two down."
At that moment, Naruto thought he was actually going to die.
But then, out of the blue Sasuke came and threw a shuriken at the ninja.
But the ninja were too fast. They evaded the shuriken and launched their chained weapons at him.
Sasuke predicted this and threw a kunai dagger at the chains and locked them together.
Sasuke landed and told Hinata something. "Hinata, go and guard Tazuna. I'll hold these guys off."
Hinata nodded. "Alright Sasuke." She said.
The ninja glared at Sasuke and yelled. "Damn you!" said the gauntlet on his right hand. Suddenly the two of the brothers released their chains and split up. The brother with the claw on his left hand went after Naruto, and the one with the gauntlet on his right hand went for Tazuna, and Hinata. The one that went for Naruto swung his arm, and made contact with his hand.
"Take this you emo!" shouted a voice that appeared from the ground. "Doton: Chikyuu Joubu Kobushi (Earth Release: Upper Fist)(A/N: I tried to get the word Uppercut, but I couldn't find it)no jutsu!" shouted the voice. As he finished the sentence, two huge fists made of stone arose from the ground and hit both of the ninja in the gut, knocking them out.
"Well, that was a royal waste of my time." Said the voice, as a kid jumped from a nearby tree. "So sorry about my temporary disappearance, but I needed to find out why those ninja were stalking us." Said the child, who finally showed his head.
"Gespens-sensei!" shouted Hinata, with relief.
Naruto then stomped the ground. "You bastard! We could've been killed!"
"Naruto, hold still. You have been poisoned, moving will only spread the poison, and then you will die." Ordered Gespens. "And don't panic either."
'Don't panic he says. WHAT AN IDIOT!' thought Naruto with a great disdain.
Gespens then turned his neck at near lightning speeds to Tazuna. "Tazuna those ninja were after you weren't they?" asked Gespens sternly.
"What are you talking about?" retorted Tazuna.
Gespens was tying them to a nearby tree. A moment later the Ninja that were tied to the tree began too stir. "Meet Gozu and Mezu, also known as; "The Demon Brothers." They were formerly Chuunin of the Mist Village. They specialize in non-stop attacks. They will fight until they win, or they die." Explained Gespens.
Once the ninja finally awoke, they're minds went to one thing. "How did you know we were there?" asked the brother with the devilish mask(Gozu).
"Come on! A puddle. On a clear day. When there has been no rain for days? For 'The Blood-Lust Ninja,' it was child's-play."
Everyone there gazed at Gespens with shocked eyes(Except Naruto, who has no idea what they are talking about.)
FLASHBACK
Iruka sensei was giving a lecture to the class about the most famous ninja in Konoha.
"The most famous non-Kage class Shinobi are; Sakumo Hatake. He was as highly regarded as the three Sanin. Last generations Ino-Shika-Cho trio. They were one of the greatest Shinobi teams ever. But most famously, the Shinobi known only as the 'Blood-Lust Ninja.' He was capable of taking down fifty other Shinobi in minutes, created dozens of original Jutsus, and has mastered every Jutsu created so far."
And as usual, Naruto was fast asleep, wasting the day away with Shikamaru.
END FLASHBACK
"Uh, who now?" asked Naruto dumbly.
"Dobe, 'The Blood-Lust Ninja' is the most vicious Shinobi ever!" shouted Sasuke.
"Even non-ninja, like me have heard of him!" blurted out Tazuna.
"He is stronger than my father." Said Hinata.
"I had no idea…" said Naruto as he looked at Gespens recalling the time he angered Gespens when he accidentally entered the 'Forbidden Room.'
"While, I guess that they will have to be taken care of now. I'll go back and bring them in, and get an antidote for Naruto. After that, I'll have to call off this mission!" ranted Gespens.
"What are you talking about?" asked Naruto and Tazuna simultaneously.
"The mission stated nothing about ninja pursuing you. The mission was listed as a 'C' rank. But because of this turn of events, the mission has been raised to an 'A' rank. Explained a pissed off Gespens.
"I can explain." Said Tazuna. "You see, there is this guy named Gato, he has a hit on me."
"You mean Gato, as in the shipping company Gato?" asked Gespens.
"Yeah. But he is much more than that. He also runs the black market, and is a mafia leader. He is leeching the money from Nami no Kuni, so we can't afford to pay you for a 'B' rank mission, let alone an 'A' rank. This mission alone took a lot of the money from my hometown."
"I see…" said Gespens with a deep tone of regret in his voice.
"Ano, Gespens-sensei, I think we should go back to Konoha and get treatment for Naruto. We need to get the poison out of him as soon as possible." Said Hinata in her usual timid voice.
"I guess your are right Hinata. We should go back to the villag-" muttered Gespens before he was cut off by a loud stabbing noise.
Everyone there whipped their heads around, only to see Naruto with a kunai dagger in his poisoned hand. "With this kunai, I'll protect the old man. We're going on with this mission Baldy-sensei!" yelled Naruto as he held up his hand.
Gespens just glared at Naruto, underneath his mask was a dumb look. "Naruto, I will that one slide. And I am glad you got rid of the poison. But even an idiot like you should know, that if you lose more blood… you're gonna die." Stated Gespens dumbly.
Naruto stared at his wound with a panicking look on his face. "Ah, I'm gonna die!" he screamed.
Gespens then walked over to Hinata and told her; "Take this cloth to Naruto and wrap it around his arm."
Hinata flinched at his request. "Why me?"
"For starters I have no idea how to heal minor cuts, and second," said Gespens, as he leaned in closer to her ear, "it'll be your chance to get close to your crush."
After Gespens finished, Hinata's face turned into several shades of red. At the end of it, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a tomato if you dyed her hair green. "W-what are you saying?" stuttered Hinata, trying to cover up her obvious infatuation.
"Just do it Hinata." Said Gespens handing her the cloth, clearly losing his patience.
Hinata then walked over to Naruto slowly. "Here you go Naruto." Said Hinata as she was about to treat his wounds. But before she began, she saw the wound was starting to heal. 'What is this?' wondered Hinata.
"Um, Hinata… what's wrong? You look like I'm about to die? And your face is red." Said Naruto.
"Oh, uh… it's nothing. You are going to be alright." Said Hinata rather quickly.
As she started to wrap the cloth around Naruto's hand, his face tinted red slightly. 'Wow, Hinata's hands are really soft.' Thought Naruto. When they finished, Gespens raised his hand in the air.
"Okay, lets keep on moving people! And Tazuna, don't worry, I'll pay the difference of the mission, and I will pay also." Said Gespens generously.
"R-really? Thanks!" exclaimed Tazuna.
They then departed. About twenty minutes later Gespens looked up to the sky. "I feel like I am forgetting something…" he muttered before he trailed off.
Meanwhile with Gozu and Mezu. "A LITTLE HELP HERE?!"
Little did Tazuna, and Team 7, that a high level battle would be waiting around the corner.
TO BE CONTINUED…
GHD: Sorry, I will cut it off there.
Gespens: What, gonna play more video games?
GHD: No. It has been way too long since I last updated.
Gespens: So next chapter will be against Zabuza?
GHD: Yup! Here is a preview.
Gespens looked at Zabuza with a cold stare. "Take this!" said Gespens as he shot a bolt of white lightning at Zabuza.
"What the-?!" he shouted before he got blasted.
GHD: So until I update next, which will be much sooner this time, Ja ne!
