Naruto: A Second Chance
A/N: Well hey there my loyal fans, well I've decided that I am going to continue with this story, so I hope you enjoy this new chapter.
"Now, lets begin this!" Sasuke shouted and rushed toward his foe.
Haku leapt back narrowly dodging Sasuke's knife. "Close." Haku said to himself.
Haku slid on the ground as he swung his arm to unleash a barrage of senbon.
Sasuke had little time to reach and crossed his arms in an x-shape to block the senbon. Sasuke made a small grunt of pain as the senbon embedded into his arms.
"Not bad." Sasuke said, "But I'm just getting started!" Sasuke yelled. His image suddenly flickered and he appeared in front of Haku and back flip-kicked him into the air. "Now I have you right where I want you!" Sasuke shouted as he threw several shuriken in the air and made several hand seals, "Katon: Flaming Shuriken Spears!" The shuriken in the air were engulfed in flame and became spear shaped.
"This doesn't look good." Haku said calmly to himself.
The spears flung themselves toward Haku as he hit the ground.
There was a huge explosion and heavy smoke.
Kakashi, Sakura and Tazuna were all surprised at the display Sasuke just preformed.
"Naruto, we have a lot to talk about when this mission is over." Kakashi said seriously to himself.
"H-Haku, there's no way he couldn't have been defeated so easily." Zabuza told himself.
Sasuke was panting, "Hmp, I guess he wasn't so powerful after all…" Sasuke was cut off by a sudden chilling burst and the appearance of several mirrors.
"Demonic Ice Mirrors!" Haku said.
"What the hell is this?" Sasuke said confused, "What kind of technique is this?"
"It's a technique that only I possess, it is a technique I developed with my bloodline limit." Haku explained as he walked into one of the mirrors. "I didn't want to kill you, but now you leave me with no choice." His image appeared in every mirror and he threw hundreds of senbon at Sasuke.
"Sasuke!" Shouted Kakashi, he started to run towards Sasuke when Zabuza appeared in front of him.
"Sorry Kakashi, but your battle is with me!" Zabuza yelled as he swung his sword at Kakashi.
Kakashi back flipped away from Zabuza's blade, "Damn." Kakashi said to himself, "Congratulations Zabuza, you're going to be the first person to see my Sharingan twice, but this will be your last time!" Kakashi raised his voice as he put his hand on his headband.
"Heh, not this time Kakashi, did you honestly think that after the last time I fought you I wouldn't find a way to beat your Sharingan?" Zabuza asked sinisterly.
"My partner analyzed our fight," Zabuza began, "and he analyzed your Sharingan and learned the secret behind it, you were using it to hypnotize me into thinking you could see the future and mimicked every move I made and then you would fool me into believing you, but not this time."
"Sakura, stay with Tazuna, don't leave his side for a second, understand?" Kakashi ordered.
"Hai, Kakashi-sensei!" She shouted back.
Meanwhile Sasuke was being beaten down by Haku, "Damn, why the hell is this happening?!" Sasuke asked himself worriedly.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura shouted concernedly in her mind, "Tazuna-san, I'm sorry, but I need to help Sasuke."
"I understand." Tazuna replied.
Sakura ran a little forward, "Sasuke-kun!" She shouted and threw a kunai to Sasuke.
"Sakura!" He looked over and saw the kunai racing toward him, he smirked and reached his hand out for it.
The kunai was about to pass the mirrors, but it was caught by Haku, "I'm sorry, but I cant allow you defeat me." Haku said softly, "I must kill…" Haku was cut off because he was suddenly struck in the mask by several shuriken and fell out of the mirror, there was a huge cloud of smoke not too far off.
"Sorry I'm late," said a voice, "but I had to take care of a couple of men who were going to kidnap Tsunami." The smoke cleared and Naruto stood there with his arms folded.
"Naruto!" They all yelled happily in their heads.
"Naruto," Kakashi yelled and Naruto looked over toward him, "after this, me and you are going to have a nice long talk."
"Alright, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said.
"I was wondering when you would join the battle." Haku said as he got up off of the ground.
"Well I had other things to deal with, Sasuke, go help out Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said.
"No I want take on this guy!" Sasuke responded.
"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled, "This guy is way out of your league, the only way for you to defeat him would be to use your Sharingan and you haven't awakened it yet. Let me deal with him, its not that I don't want your help, this is a personal thing." Naruto explained.
"Alright." Sasuke said in defeat.
"Kakashi-sensei, will you allow Sasuke help you out?" Naruto asked.
"Of course." Kakashi replied.
"Alright, Haku, lets begin." Naruto said.
"Demonic Ice Mirrors!" Haku shouted and a dome of mirrors appeared around Naruto.
Thousands of senbon flew at Naruto and Naruto leapt into the air and was flying up to the top-most mirror. "You won't be able to destroy it, Naruto…" Haku words were lost as Naruto, who built up a lot of chakra in his right foot, smashed cleanly through the mirror.
"Haku, I know your technique all to well." Naruto said.
"But how?" Haku asked.
"Because believe it or not we have fought before." Naruto said.
"But…nevermind, let us just battle." Hauk said.
"Alright, but just so you know, that little dome of your wont be enough against me!" Naruto yelled and got into his fighting pose.
"I never thought I would need to use this technique." Haku said, "Demonic Ice Mirrors: Mobile Attack!" Haku yelled and a mirror appeared behind him. He stepped into the mirror and it disappeared.
"What the?" Naruto said with widened eyes.
One hundred senbon impaled Naruto in the back and he fell forward.
"Please forgive me, Naruto." Haku said sadly.
"For what?" Naruto said.
"What impossible!" Haku said in a frightened voice and looked toward Naruto's voice just in time to be kicked in the face.
"Replacement." Naruto said and sure enough there was a stone slab with senbon imbedded into it.
"Your mirrors are fast, but me, well I am much faster." Naruto said.
Haku got up, "Then this shall be an interesting battle."
The others on the bridge were watching in awe of the speed the two shinobi were displaying.
"I think that we should continue our battle, Zabuza." Kakashi said.
"Yes, I think that as well." Zabuza replied.
The mist thickened and Zabuza faded out of sight.
Sasuke was anxious.
"Stay calm Sasuke," Kakashi said, "I wont let him kill anyone on this team."
"Right." Sasuke said. "But where could he be?" Sasuke thought.
No sooner had Sasuke thought about that there was a shout.
"Sasuke!" Sasuke didn't react in time to dodge the sword completely and it slashed down his chest.
Sasuke fell back with a large slash going down his chest, he was bleeding badly, "No, I-I cant die here, I cant die until I kill him, kill Itachi!" Sasuke's eyes shot wide open just in time to see a blade about to impale him. He rolled over seconds before the blade made impact.
"You dodged it?" Zabuza snarled, "Th-those eyes!"
"The Sharingan!" Zabuza shouted.
Sasuke looked up and saw Zabuza towering over him with fear and anger in his eyes.
"So you're an Uchiha?" Zabuza said, "I will get great pleasure in this…" But Zabuza would get no pleasure for he was suddenly ambushed by a pack of dogs, "What in the hell?"
"Sasuke, move aside and let me deal with this." Kakashi's voice said.
Sasuke rolled over as much as he could to the bridge railing and sat up.
"Now Zabuza since I have you where I want you, I can finally end this!" Kakashi shouted, "Now Zabuza you are about to witness my own original technique!"
Kakashi began to gather chakra in his hand, it was becoming visible and it began to disperse the mist.
"The chakra is visible?" Zabuza questioned, "What sort of monstrous technique is this?"
Meanwhile Naruto and Haku were having a very fast paced battle.
An ice mirror would suddenly appear and Haku would leap out of it at Naruto and Naruto would quickly parry and flicker away.
"How are you able to keep me at bay Naruto?" Haku asked, "Its as if you've experienced my attacks before, but that's impossible."
"Nothing is impossible Haku," Naruto said, "I just suppose, in a way, I have experienced your attacks before."
"But how?" Haku asked
"Now that is a long story, but there isn't time for it now," Naruto said, "Will you and consider coming to the Leaf Village?"
"I-I don't know, I appreciate the offer, but I just don't think it would work out." Haku explained.
"Well…" Naruto started to say but was interrupted by a sudden spike of massive chakra.
"Kakashi!" Naruto said quickly.
"Zabuza!" Haku yelled.
Kakashi was almost finished charging his technique, "This is my own original technique, Rikiri, or also know as Chidori!" Kakashi explained.
The attack was finished charging, "Now you die, Zabuza!" Kakashi started running toward Zabuza.
Zabuza started to laugh evilly, "You really think that you've won?" Zabuza questioned.
The scroll Kakashi used to summon the dogs was suddenly cut in half by one of Zabuza's Mizu bunshin, the dogs disappeared and Zabuza lifted up his huge sword and swung it downward.
"Shit! This isn't good, but I cant stop now!" Kakashi yelled in his head.
"Ahhh!" Zabuza and Kakashi both yelled.
Then everything felt like it stopped, Kakashi and Zabuza had their eyes wide open and the mist was completely gone.
Kakashi and Zabuza stood about a foot apart, Kakashi's arm was outstretched, Chidori still roaring, and Naruto was bent down on one knee with Kakashi's arm in his grip. And Zabuza Stood with his sword in a half slice with Haku holding onto the blades handle.
"Now that, is enough." Naruto said.
"N-Naruto?" Kakashi asked confused. "He moved so fast I didn't even see him."
"Haku?" Zabuza asked just as confused. "What the hell is going on?"
"Lets stop this pointless battle, Zabuza, why chase after something as pointless as revenge when all it will do is lead you into battles that you cant win?" Naruto asked.
"And just what would you know about revenge, you're just a kid." Zabuza said.
"I know way more about revenge and death than you would think." Naruto replied back.
"Zabuza, listen to what he has to say." Haku said.
"Zabuza, come to Konoha with us, I'm sure I can convince the Hokage to help you become Leaf ninja." Naruto said.
"Heh, kid you just don't understand, I don't want to be a shinobi of a hidden village, I just want the destruction of the Mist."
"That is a stupid thing to chase Zabuza, the Mist couldn't be destroyed by just the two of you, it's a suicide mission." Naruto argued.
"Yes, I suppose your right, but I don't want to become a leaf shinobi." Zabuza replied.
"Then I have another proposition for you." Naruto started.
"And that would be?" Zabuza asked.
"Become my eyes and ears of the world, travel around and follow a particular organization that will cause hell for everyone."
"Because, I can help you out when your in a bad situation, it will be a partner ship between the three of us." Naruto said.
"And why would I agree to this?" Zabuza questioned.
"Because…" Naruto sighed, "Alright, do this for me and in a few years time I will help you take out the Mist."
"And why would you do that?" Zabuza wondered.
"Because I have a grudge against the Mist, don't ask me what it is, but I wouldn't regret their destruction."
"Well now, I think we might have a deal here." Zabuza said.
"Making deals behind my back, Zabuza?" Came a voice.
"Gatoh." Zabuza said with disgust.
"And here I was thinking I would only have to kill you and your partner, but I guess ill need to take care of these vermin as well." Gatoh said.
"Oh wow the big bad crime lord Gatoh." Naruto said sarcastically, "I'm so frightened."
"Watch who you are talking to boy!" Gatoh barked.
"Or what?" Naruto whispered in Gatoh's ear, "You'll kill me?"
Gatoh stood fixed to the spot, his face drained of color, "H-how did you?" he looked over at Zabuza and the others and Naruto was there as well, "You're over there?"
"Don't underestimate a shinobi, Zabuza would you like to do the honors, as a closure of our deal?" Naruto asked.
"Naturally." Zabuza replied.
"Men, kill them all!" Gatoh yelled and looked at his mercenaries who were all on the ground, beaten down, "Sorry boss." One of them said before he collapsed.
"I already took them out." Naruto said.
Zabuza ran toward Gatoh and cleaved him right in half.
"Well I guess that ends that." Naruto said.
A few days later and the bridge was complete and the Wave country had regained their courage, after Inari gathered the village to fight against Gatoh, but arrived after his death.
Team 7 stood across Zabuza and Haku in front of the fully complete bridge.
"Well I guess this is where we part ways for now." Naruto said.
"Yes, I believe it is." Haku replied.
"Here." Naruto handed them a scroll, "If you need to contact me open the scroll and call my name, I have an identical scroll and I carry it around everywhere."
"Alright, so we part ways." Zabuza said.
"Yes it is." Kakashi said and held out his hand to Zabuza, who hesitated but shook it.
They started walking away in opposite directions.
"Goodbye Naruto thank you for everything!" Inari yelled.
Naruto waved back to all of the villagers.
"So what should we name the bridge, dad?" Tsunami asked.
"I was thinking 'The Great Naruto Bridge'" Tazuna said.
"I think that is a perfect name." Tsunami replied.
Team seven was walking through the forest. "Naruto." Kakashi said.
"Yes?" Naruto asked.
"I think we all deserve an explanation, about all of this, right Sasuke, Sakura?" Kakashi asked.
"Yeah." They both said.
Naruto sighed, "Listen I promise, I will explain everything when we get back to the village, it will be us and the Hokage, alright?" Naruto reasoned.
"Fair enough." Kakashi replied.
Team 7 arrived back to the leaf village the next day and were all sitting in the Hokage's office.
"So Naruto, you are going to explain everything leading up to now?" the Sandaime asked.
"Well not everything, just what's important." Naruto replied. "But first things first, Sasuke, Sakura, you need to know that I was the carrier of the Kyuubi." The shock on their faces was answer enough.
"Was?" Kakashi asked.
"Well it goes like this…" Naruto started, he explained, leaving out major details because of the presence of Sasuke and Sakura.
"I don't think I can take this much more." Sakura said suddenly interrupting Naruto.
"Sasuke please escort miss Haruno out." The Sandaime softly ordeded.
Sasuke was reluctant, but took Sakura out of the room. When the door shut, Naruto sighed in relief, "Well now that their gone, we can get down to business." Naruto said.
"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked.
"I didn't want to give all of the details in front of them, especially Sasuke." Naruto replied, "Such as who destroyed the village."
"Was it Itachi?" The Kakashi asked.
"No, I…killed Itachi before the destruction of Konoha." Naruto answered.
"You killed Itachi?" Kakashi asked very surprised, "Amazing."
"Yes, but it was Sasuke and Orochimaru who destroyed Konoha."
The Sandaime dropped his coffee mug on the floor and it shattered spraying coffee everywhere. "Did you just say Orochimaru?"
"Yes, shortly after the Chunin exams, he attacked Sasuke and gave him the cursed seal, which ultimately led Sasuke to join Orochimaru to gain power to kill Itachi, ha, I bet Sasuke would stop hating him if he knew the truth." Naruto said, the last part mostly to himself.
"The truth, about what?" Kakashi asked, apparently intrigued.
"Oh, damn, I said that out loud, oh well what's the use," Naruto began, "Itachi killed his clan for other reasons than you might think…"
"What do you mean?" Sandaime asked.
"The reason Itachi killed the Uchiha clan, was to save Sasuke." Naruto started, "Orochimaru brainwashed the elders of the Uchiha clan into giving him Itachi, but when that plan didn't work out, on account of Itachi becoming too powerful at such a young age and couldn't be easily controlled, he decided to set his eyes on Sasuke. The elder Uchiha's brainwashed everyone else in the clan, except for Itachi of course, to give up Sasuke when he was six. But when Itachi found out, he became furious and decided to take matters into his own hands and exterminate his clan so Sasuke wouldn't fall into Orochimaru's hands, ha, some good that did." Naruto finished.
"So Itachi, killed his clan for all of the right reasons, why didn't he let anyone know about this?" Kakashi asked.
"Because he didn't want Orochimaru to know, so he spread it out that he just wanted to test his abilities." Naruto said.
"And how is it that you know all of this, Naruto?" the Sandaime asked.
"Because Itachi told me, before he died." Naruto looked away, "That selfish bastard, he felt guilty that Sasuke joined Orochimaru after everything he did to prevent it, so he allowed me to kill him." Naruto finished.
"Wow, this is…a lot to take in." The Sandaime said.
"Yes but there is a whole lot more, I hope you have a lot of free time." Naruto said and began to explain almost everything down to small details.
