GHD: Hello, and welcome to the next chapter of Simple Yet Drastic Changes. I am your host, Gespens of the Hidden Dusk!
Sasuke: Why the hell are you talking like a talk show personality?
GHD: Because, I rock and I kick ass!
Sasuke: You are a dork in real life.
GHD: Just leave the disclaimer as I grovel in a pool of self-pity. (Cry, boo-hoo, wah, sob)
Sasuke: GHD does not own Naruto. If he did I wouldn't be such an ass.
Gespens' Surprise and Battle with Zabuza!
As Gespens and party continued walking towards Mizu no Kuni, the came across a lake in a forest, and not far away, a rustling was heard in a nearby bush.
'What is that?' thought Naruto as he looked at the rustling. 'An attacker?'
Gespens then stopped and looked at Naruto. "Naruto, what in the name of Konoha are you looking at Naruto?" asked Gespens.
Naruto then looked at the rustling again, placed a hand in his tool pouch, drew a kunai, and threw it at the rustling bush. On contact with the target there was a squealing noise. 'Got it!' thought Naruto.
Gespens looked at where Naruto threw the Kunai. "Naruto, a little lesson for you," said Gespens as he walked to the bush and put his hands inside of it. "Make sure what you throw the kunai at is hostile. You wouldn't want to hit say, a rabbit!" shouted Gespens as he pulled his hands out to reveal a white rabbit!
Naruto ran up to the rabbit. "Ah, I'm sorry little bunny!" yelled Naruto as he ran up and scooped up the rabbit.
'Hold on. Since when are there white bunnies during summer time?' wondered Gespens. Suddenly it hit him. "Konoha Bunshins, Gyaza!" Shouted Gespens as he pulled out a scroll that read 'cat claws.'
Suddenly three copies of Gespens appeared before him. Although none of them wore a mask, their face was too maimed to see any distinctive features. The one on the left had a scar that went from the top of his head down to his chin and covered both his eyes and nose. The one on the right had a severe burn all over his face except his mouth. And the third one in the middle was the most frightening looking of them all… Due to the fact that his had not face. Just slits where it's eyes and mouth should have been.
Hinata looked at Gespens. "Ano, Gespens-sensei, what's the matter?"
Gespens looked at Hinata. "Everyone stay away from the lake, and stay near my Konoha Bunshins!" warned Gespens. "Konoha Bunshins Sigma, Theta, Omega, (A/N: In order Sigma, Theta, and Omega; Left, Right, Center) protect the old man and the useless Genin.
Konoha Bunshin Omega turned his head towards the Genin. "Genin? Understood." Rasped Omega.
A sound cut through the air and Gespens whipped his head towards it, only too see a giant sword spinning in the air. He easily evaded the blade. Konoha Bunshin Sigma then grabbed the hilt of the sword and threw it at a nearby tree.
"He he, well if my opposition is just a couple of brats this battle will be no problem." Echoed a voice through the forest. And then a man appeared on the sword. He looked like he was in his middle twenties and had black hair. His skin was grey and a cloth mask covered his face from the nose down.
Gespens saw the man and gazed at him. He then pulled out a book from his pocket and began to read from it. "Momochi Zabuza. A former Jounin of Kirigakure. Birthday; August Fifteenth. Age; Twenty-one. Blood Type; A. Height; 183 centimeters. Weight; 72 kilograms. A former member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist." Gespens began to actually talk to Zabuza now. "I didn't think I'd have fight you." Gespens then turned to his team. "If you value your life, stay out of our fight!" he shouted.
Zabuza looked at Gespens. "It would seem that I need to get past you and your bunshins to kill Tazuna," Said Zabuza, as he pulled his sword out of the tree and jumped onto the surface of the water and a mist began to engulf the area. His voice then echoed through the mist. "There are eight targets: throat, spinal column, lungs, liver, the jugular vein, the subclavian vein, kidneys and heart. So many choices, what vital, vulnerable place shall I choose? Heh heh."
Gespens the unrolled the scrolls and place his hands inside them, when he removed them, there on Gespens' hands were his claws. "I hope you are willing to die." Said Gespens as he crossed his arms over his chest and his arms face the sky. "Tenka! (Ignite)" said Gespens as his claws were engulfed in flames on each blade. Then a loud cracking was heard from Gespens. "Taijustu, Dansu no Hone. (Dance of the Bone)" as he finished the sentence, his body grew about four centimeters. "Your, Muon Satsujin Jutsu (Silent Homicide Technique), is no match for my Dansu no Hone." He said as he too jumped onto the water.
Sasuke began to shake. 'Is this what it's like, for two Jounin to fight? It's so frightening. The pressures crushing me.' Thought Sasuke.
"We'll see about that baldy." Said Zabuza as he lunged his sword at Gespens.
To everybodies surprise, gespens bent his back backwards, on level with his hips. "Nice try, browless freak." Said Gespens smugly. "This Taijutsu dislocates every bone in my body. Using my Chakra I can move my body as if I had no bones. When I move it looks like I am dancing. Hence, Dansu no Hone." Explained Gespens. Then Gespens' left foot shot up and slammed Zabuza right in the chest, knocking him back a good six yards. Then Gespens shot his left arm at Zabuza. Zabuza just barely evaded, but the flames burned Zabuza's arm.
"Damn!" yelled Zabuza.
"If that's the best you got, you don't stand a chance." Gloted Gespens.
Hinata saw a Mizu Bunshin(Water Clone) appear behind him. "Gespens-sensei, behind you!" she shouted as loud as she could.
"Huh?" muttered Gespens as he turned around. "Son of a mother dog!"(A/N: Has he said a swear yet? I can't remember.) The Bunshin slammed his head, causing Gespens' neck to do a 360. Gespens then put his hands on his head. "That. Really. Hurt!" he whined.
Zabuza took opuritunity of this moment to attack Gespens. "Actually, that… was a distraction!" shouted Zabuza as his eyes widened. He then did a series of hand seals, and put a hand near Gespens. "Suirō(Water Prison) no Jutsu" he shouted as a sphere surronded Gespens.
"Great, trapped in the water. This blows wieners!" yelled Gespens. "Sigma, Theta, Omega, it's all up to you!" he ordered.
Omega 'looked' at Gespens. "Up to us? Understood." Rasped Omega. The three clones then proceeded to attack Zabuza… But stopped at the shore of the lake.
Gespens' vein grew in his head. "THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU ATTACK HIM!"
Theta looked at the water. "Water Walk. Incapable." Moaned Theta.
Gespens smacked his head with his palm. "Right, they can't cross water. I'm such an idiot."
Everyone, including Zabuza and the Bunshins looked at Gespens and said, "You got that right!(The bunshins ended it with 'Master' 'Capable' and 'Understood')"
Gespens then got the anime sweat drop. "That hurt."
Zabuza then regained his focus. My Mizu Bunshin will be able to take your Bunshins." He said as three Mizu Bunshins formed. The Mizu Bunshins attacked the Konoha Bunshins.
The Mizu Bunshins swung their swords at Theta and Sigma, cutting their cores.
"Farewell. Master." Said Sigma as his body dissipated into the air.
"Death. Capable. Regret. Incapable." Said Theta as his body dissipated into the air.
Gespens looked at where his clones were left. "My friends." He said as quiet as a mouse. 'DON'T LEAVE ME!' he shouted in his mind. "OMEGA, AVENGE THEM BY DESTROYING THE MIZU BUNSHINS!"
"Avenge? Undestood." Rasped Omega. He then dashed to the Mizu Bunshins and wiped out two of them. The third one however almost managed to hit Omega in the core.
But Before this could happen, Gespens yelled out. "Chire(Scatter)!" as he said that, Omega dissapeared. He then reduced his voice two a low tone. "I don't want to lose anymore friends." Then he looked up at Naruto. "Naruto, run. Take Hinata, Sasuke, and Tazuna and run! He can't control the Bunshin from a long distance, and he must remain close to me or I'll escape." Ordered Gespens.
Naruto smiled. "Gespens, you are an idiot. We are not leaving you."
Tazuna looked at Naruto and smirked. 'Kids got spunk. Maybe he will be Hokage.'
Naruto then looked at Hinata. "Hinata, protect Tazuna."
Hinata flinched as her crush told her what to do. "H-hai!"
"Teme, follow my lead. Got it?" ordered Naruto.
"Fine…"
Naruto then placed his hands in a familiar hand seal. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" he shouted as about fifteen bunshins appeared in a plume of smoke.
The Mizu Bunshin's mask got the impression of a smirk. "Well, I didn't expect a Genin to know such an advance technique. This will be good."
The Kage Bunshins, along with Naruto, then rushed the Mizu Bunshin with a Kunai in hand, and then piled on top of it. The area was still for a few moments, but then the Mizu Bunshin slammed the Kage Bunshins away, causing fifteen smoke puffs to appear.
Naruto then flew backwards, and reached into his backpack. "Sasuke catch!" said Naruto as he flung a foleded up Fuuma Shurikan.
Sasuke caught the Fuuma Shurikan. Then he smirked, and whispered. "Gotcha." Sasuke, then unfolded the Fuuma Shurikan with a flick of the wrist. "Fuuma Shuriken, Shadow Windmill!" he shouted as he wound up the Fuuma Shurikan, and threw it at Zabuza. The Fuuma Shurikan whizzed through the air with a buzzing noise, and sliced through the Mizu Bunshin. The real Zabuza then caught the Fuuma Shurikan.
"Nice try, but shurikan are useless against me!" he shouted. But suddenly the buzzing continued. A second shuirkan appeared before him. "What?! A second shurikan hidden under the shadow of the first?!" he shouted as he jumped away from the second shurikan.
Then a voice from behind hime yelled. "Not quite!" the Shurikan the was covered in a veil of smoke, and turned into Naruto, throwing a kunai. The kunai flew threw the air, and Zabuza was unable to avoid it and maintain his control the Water Prison. So he then dodged to the side, losing control of the Water Prison, thus freeing Gespens.
Gespens, then fell into the water with a spalsh. "Well, thanks Naruto, and Sasuke," said Gespens. "but that doesn't mean that I will think any more of you." Mocked Gespens.
Both Sasuke and Naruto glared at Gespens with an intensity that was stronger then the heat of the sun. 'This is the thanks I get for saving him?!' they shouted in their heads.
Gespens then turned his head to Zabuza. "I hope you are ready to perish now." He said as he threw his gloves away to a nearby tree. He then rushed to Zabuza and pummeled him with a series of punches and kicks. He then slammed Zabuza with an open palmed blow, sending him skipping off the water like a rock, into a tree.
Zabuza's eyes widened as he tried to get up from the tree. "Such power. How can a kid be so strong?"
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. His body was slammed into the tree with incredible force. A crimson stain then spread across his mask. And suddenly, three kunai daggers hit Zabuza. One in each shoulder and one in his hand. He then turned his to look at Gespens. "Tell me, how can a kid be so powerful?"
Gespens then turned his head to look at Zabuza. He then cryptically replied; "Not so hard, when you're Gespens, the 'Blood-Lust Ninja' of Konoha!"
Zabuza's eyes then widened. "What!?"
"That's right Zabuza. And now, I think that I want your blood!" he shouted as he began to run at Zabuza.
But to everybody's surprise, three senbon (a needle like throwing weapon for you Naruto noobs!) hit Zabuza in the neck, causing him to go limp.
Gespens then looked at the line of fire for the senbon, and then he saw a masked teenage woman, that looked slightly older than him. She had two long braids framing the side of he face and her hair was tied up under a small cap
The teenage woman then spoke. "Looks like his blood is mine Gespens."
"You are a Hunter Nin aren't you?" he asked.
"That is correct, they call me Haku." She said as she used a Shunshin to get to Zabuza's body. "Thank you for tiring him out for me. But now I must dispose of the body." She said as she pulled Zabuza's body of the tree. disappeared.
Gespens just stood there, gazing at the spot where Haku was a moment earlier.
Hinata then asked Gespens. "Gespens-sensei, is something wrong." She asked in a worried tone of voice.
Gespens then flinched, and turned his body to face them. "Huh? Oh, nothing is wrong! In fact, I'm downright pepping! Ha ha!" he yelled.
But suddenly a noise was heard above his head. A large three foot long branch, that was about six inches thick snapped off the tree. But Gespens laugh was too loud.
CRACK!
SLAM!
The branch slammed Gespens right in the neck!
Team seven then rushed to him. "Gespens-sensei!" they all said. Except for Naruto who said 'Baldy-sensei.'
Hinata then checked his pulse. "He's just knocked out." She sighed with relief.
Naruto then got a wicked smile. "We can take this oppuritunity to remove his mask!" he said as he reached for his mask.
Then Gespens hand shot up and grabbed Naruto's arm. "NOBODY TOUCHES THE MASK YOU GOT THAT YOU DIP-POOP!" he shouted as he began to swing his arm around, and slammed Naruto in the ground. He then let go, and snored.
'He was asleep?' they all thought.
Sasuke then picked up Gespens. "Well, we can't leave him here, so lets bring him to Tazuna's house."
Tazuna, who just caught up to them to hear the last part. "What? We are bringing him in my house? This is just great…" he said sarcastically. He then sighed. "I guess you guys can stay at my house to recover." He said reluctantly.
They then walked away to Tazuna's house to recover from the battle.
GHD: There you go.
Sasuke: Eh, all right I guess.
GHD:sniff STFU bastard! Here is the preview of the next chapter.
Gespens was on top of the tree. "So, your mission is to stay in this dimension for five days, and master the tree climbing technique. You must eat together, sleep together, and train together. I real time, only a few minutes will have passed. So, I guess I will see you in a few minutes." He explained.
Hinata blushed at the fact that she would be sleeping in the same room as Naruto.
GHD: Next chapter has lots of NaruHina goodness! Ja ne!
