It had taken the teams two weeks to arrive to the borders of Wave. Along the way they were making up the battle plan. They would start in the smallest village so they can set up a base from which they would conduct their plans. Team Tenshi were sent in first to stake out the area. Soon they came to give their reports. The reports stated that one of the villages was making a bridge to connect them to the mainland.
"Very well, we will go there seeing as Gato will probably send his men to that area to stop the construction of this bridge. Now what is the security of the village."
Ayane walked in front of her team and pulled out a map that she made of the village. "Security is more or less nonexistent. The spirit of the people is pretty much broken so there are only about 200 mercs in the area. Places of interests are two bars, and a brothel in the center of town. From the original stats the brothel was once the home to leader of this town but was taken over and the leader's wife and daughters were made into whores. His sons were publicly executed to show that they had all the power. Now there is one road going into the village and is heavily guarded, but from what we've seen there is a secret path here on the south side of town." Ayane pointed at the map. "Also there is a rumor that a villager, the one responsible for the bridge is going to the land of fire to hire bodyguards."
"Thats foolish if he is out in the open he will be easy pickings and as such I want you three to go into this village create a base for us. Then I want you to find as much information as possible. Here is some of the spies already in this village with the names of the others in surrounding towns. Meanwhile my team will follow this bridge builder in the shadows to make sure that he doesn't get killed as he is the lure to bring Gato out." In a matter of three days everything was set up. Team Tenshi found all of the spies in the village and got their Intel. Surprisingly they found that four of the spies were working in the rank of Gato's forces. They supplied them with information on who was working with him, how many, and Gatos whereabouts. Naruto's team found Tazuna as he was quietly making his way out of the village.
One of the guard that was on duty heard something and went to investigate. He was heading towards the bridge builder, thought he didn't know but Naruto did. So Naruto gave the order to Ryu to take him out quietly, Which Ryu did as he circled behind the merc, slowly he walked behind him and with one move grabbed him around the mouth and stabbed him in the side twice. Seconds later the merc was dead Ryu dragged the body next to a tree before regrouping with the team. One week later he had reached the gates of Konoha, Naruto stayed four miles away as to not alert the ninjas. Suddenly they felt two chakra identities. "Well, well who do we have here." Naruto said scaring the nins.
Meanwhile back in Konoha, the Hokage was having a bad month. First he received word that Naruto and Sakura refused to come back to Konoha to join them. Next Sasuke had graduated first in his class but no Jonin wanted to take him into their team.(1) After speaking with the council they practically ordered him to make one of them train him. Sadly since Kakashi had taken a team ever, and this year was no different. He was the only one left and was ordered to train him but since all genins were already in teams it would be an apprenticeship instead. They will train alone but when missions were given they would piggyback on with the full teams, and thats were we are right now.
"Hokage-sama we are here for our next mission." Kakashi said but not in his usual self. He did not want to train the arrogant bastard. It only made it worst because he had to train him exclusively which made Sasuke's ego even bigger.
"Very well but you have to wait for the full teams to arrive before I assign you to their mission also." The Hokage didn't like this system as it showed favoritism and Sasuke did not need it. He knew what happens when you give a student everything they want. Suddenly he was brought out of his train of thought when Team 8 walked in."
"We are here for our assignments Hokage-sama." said Kurenai as she bowed.
"Ok Team 8 along with Kakashi and his charge, you will pick up trash in park fourteen, after which."
"NOOOO, I want a real mission, and why do we have to work with this bastard." Kiba said as he interrupted the Hokage and got hit in the head by his sensei.
The Hokage looked up at the group of genins, which made them gulp thinking that they were in trouble. "The reason that your working with Sasuke is because you were the first to arrive." which made Sasuke pissed off they should be happy that they get to work with him a Uchiha. The Hokage looked at the track record of Team 8 and saw that they had enough D-rank missions to take a C-rank one. "Ok, I will give you a C-rank mission, its an escort then protect one. First part is to escort your client then..."
"Fine thats is acceptable tell him I will be waiting at the rendezvous point in three days and make sure you make it believable I don't want those bastards think something is up now go." Naruto walked out of the shadows.
"So is everything ok" Sakura asked as she began to pack up the camp.
"Yea everything is good, but one thing has changed, it would seem that Leaf ninjas are going to be around, and from what my sources say the Uchiha is going to be with them. To make matters worst is that Kakashi of the Sharingan is coming also. So that means that you have to be on guard and don't show any of you abilities in front of them. I will send a hawk to tell the other team to keep that in mind. Everything else still goes according to plan got it." After he saw his team nod he called a hawk to his side and gave it an encoded message before sending it on its way. "Good lets go we have to met up with an old friend." Team Oni then left their campsite, they left it as they found it and if you didn't know what you were looking for you would never know that they were there.
Meanwhile with the Leaf nins, Tazuna was being ask questions by Hinata about Wave and what it was like. He told her that it was very poor, but he didn't tell her about the more horrible things because it was oblivious that this was their first mission out of the village. As they walked Kurenai, Kakashi, and Hinata noticed a puddle in the water. Shino felt a chakra spike, and Kiba picked up a scent. The only one that was oblivious was Sasuke. They all looked at each other and nodded, the genins went to surround their client and the Jonins were slowly backing away. Suddenly two chain popped out of nowhere and wrapped around Kakashi and Kurenai. The chains then ripped them to pieces.
Sasuke froze up when he saw this. Team 8 went on the attack, Hinata went to strike one of the nins only to miss. The nin thought he had her turned around to kill her only to find a fist hit him in the face by Kiba. Shino was fighting the other. His bugs were now attached and draining him of his chakra. Sasuke just now getting over his shock went to attack one of the nins only to be hit by one of the chains falling unconscious after two minutes of fighting the demon brothers were knocked unconscious. Kurenai came out with a smirk one her face proud of her students. Kakashi had a look of indifference he really didn't care about his student, he didn't want him in the first place he was ordered to.
Naruto was watching in the shadows as the Demon brothers and the Leaf genins were fighting. "It would seem those genin are strong," then he looked at Sasuke and chuckled "Well most of them, so thats the famous Sasuke Uchiha, rookie of the year, pathetic what do you think Sakura?"
"Yea pathetic, I bet since he is the last of his clan he has a lot of fan girls." When she finished that statement Ryu and Naruto shuttered. Before Ryu announced he loved Sakura three years ago he had the second largest fan club in the village first belonging to Naruto until he started to see Ayane.
"Yea whatever it seems they are going to Wave, Ryu go and untie the losers and catch up with us, Sakura come lets go we have a meeting to get to." Sakura and Naruto disappeared into the forest.
Ryu walked over to the unconscious nins. "Hey idiots wake up, I feel a group of nins on there way." then he kicked them waking them up, then he cut the ropes. "Quickly get out of here." Then Ryu started to dissolve into the ground.
The Leaf ninjas were now riding a boat to cross the ocean to get to Wave country. When they got closer to the shore of Wave they saw the biggest bridge that they had ever seen. "Ok this is as far as I am going to take you, I already risked more than I had too now get off." the boat man said with fear in his voice. The group got off the boat and began to walk on the road heading to the client's house. As they walked the mist seemed to get denser and denser. Sasuke felt something and to try to act cool threw a shuriken into the bush getting the group into alert. They slowly walked towards the bush to find a white snow rabbit. The group looked at the rabbit and had the same thing going through there minds."this is a snow rabbit but they usually have brown fur during the summer but this has white meaning it was born inside, so this is a decoy." Suddenly they heard a whisting sound "Everyone get down." Kakashi yelled, as a giant sword came flying at them almost taking them out. The sword was sent into a tree were a man stood on the hilt of it.
"Well look at who we have here the Copy-cat Ninja and the Ice Queen of Konoha, no wonder my men were defeated." the man said.
Zabuza Momochi aka Demon of the bloody Mist so your working for this scum oh how you have fallen." Kakashi said as he got into his battle stance.
"Well it pays and that all that matters now I will give you a chance, give me the old man and I will let you all leave her alive." Zabuza said.
"You know we can't do that." Kurenai said.
"Very well I guess you all will die here today."
Ryu had finally caught up with his teammates with no problems. Naruto turned around to face his team "Ok now we have to met up with one of our spies up ahead. I don't want you to interfere with what I am about to do got it. I will go alone and I want both of you to stay in the shadows just in case."
Zabuza had just captured Kakashi in his water prison. Kurenai had long time ago been put out of commission. "Everyone take the client and Kurenai out of here leave me that clone can't get more than a couple of feet away before is dissolves." Sasuke being the coward he was started to turn around to run, but seeing the determination of team 8 made him stay because he didn't want to look weak in front of them.
"Zabuza, Kakashi, and Kurenai now this is a rare occasion three of the most famous ninjas in the world all in one place. Pity I wasn't invited to the party I guess my invitation was lost in the mail." a voice said as if it was coming from everywhere.
"Oh shit this can't be good what is he doing here." Zabuza said as he let Kakashi go from his prison. "Bloody Dragon what are you doing here I thought you were doing a mission in the snow country."
"Ha you call that a mission, it was more like a vacation." the voice said. Kurenai had her eyes opened wide. The Leaf had heard reports that a group of ninjas were near Snow killing all the bandits many people started to call it the Bloody Snow campaigns because the snow in that part of the world was red from all the fighting. "Now tell me what is this I hear you working with this Gato person, have you ran from Mist if so I must kill you."
"No of course not," Zabuza said with fear in his eyes. "Why would I leave Mist I love that place, please Bloody Dragon you must believe me." he was looking around waiting for a attack. Suddenly he felt a blade to his neck.
"I don't believe you, so die." the voice said behind him shocking everyone at the speed of the new Ninja. Then by his appearance, he was wearing black grabs his face and hair was completely covered by a mask all that could be seen was his eyes, they were a deep blue.
"No please I did not leave Mist I am not a nuke-nin." Zabuza said with tears falling down his face. Confusing the Leaf nin, how can the Demon of the Bloody Mist be afraid of this person, a teenager at that. After a few tense moments everyone heard clapping and laughter.
"Now, now Naruto-kun I think you traumatized Zabuza enough." A feminine voice said. Naruto started to chuckle.
"I guess your right Haku-chan now come on out and don't worry about the spies my team took care of them right guys." Naruto yelled as he put his sword away. As he did two black clad nins landed next to him they nodded. A shadow appeared out of the forest and as it got closer they could see that it was female. "Ah Haku its nice to se.." but he never got to finish his sentence because the girl jumped on Naruto and gave him a hug. "Now Haku like I was saying its good to see you again, but we have things to discuss."
Haku got off Naruto and nodded her head. "Ok Naruto-kun."
"But first I need to talk to Kakashi first in private." and he turned to Kakashi and gave him the sign to follow, which Kakashi did. "Ok Kakashi what do you got for me."(2)
"Well Naruto, it would seem that you were right there does seem to be a greater demon in the village, from the reports it is in contact with a Demon Lord by the name of Doku. Also I have uncovered some things about your parents. Your mother did not die because of labor but was assassinated, she kept her pregnancy a secret. She had her own doctor and everything. When she gave birth to you the doctor left to clean you up and when she returned she was dead. Somehow one of the followers or the demon itself saw her in that weaken state and seeing that the Kyuubi was attacking made their move." Kakashi reported.
"I see and what is this, you training the Uchiha I thought you would never take a team or apprentice."
"Well that, you see as part of Leaf I have to do what the Hokage tells me and he ordered me to train him" Kakashi said "now tell me how is Kanae doing these days?" he said with a blush.(3)
"Oh Kakashi missing your wife already well she misses you too, tell you what when we finish this mission I will personally request a long S-rank mission in which I will request that only you can do what do say."
"Thank you Naruto," He said with a bow. "Now we must go back to the group or they might get suspicious, and as to our agreement nothing that was said here will be repeated."
Both Ninjas walked back to the group. Naruto was the first to speak. "Alright now, lets get to business. My group was assigned to kill Gato by our client, but things has changed. Tazuna you are the key to draw out this pig. Now that Leaf is involved things might get a little complicated so lets clear them up." Sasuke was about to speak when Kakashi stopped him.
"Sasuke you are to keep your mouth shut. This is part of being a ninja, when two ninjas from different villages are on the same mission or close to the parameters then they have two options fight for the right to complete it or share the mission, and let me tell you that if they fight the losers die. So I think we will share don't you think." Kakashi lectured to the genins and especially to Sasuke.
"Well said, as of right now three villages are on this mission. Zabuza from Mist, Kakashi and Kurenai from Leaf, me and my team from our village. The Mist is to gather information, The leaf is to protect Tazuna and my team is to kill Gato and his mercs." Naruto reported.
"Tell me this how many of you are on this team." Kurenai asked and the genins nodded their headed as they wanted to know also.
"Well Kurenai my team is comprised of myself Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Sakura Uzumaki, and Ryu Hayabusa." he said as he pointed to his team. As he introduced them they removed their masks. When Sakura removed her mask every male genin began to blush as they took in their beauty.
Sasuke saw how beautiful she was and he decided to show everyone how much of an ass he was. "Well beautiful why don't you come over here, and we can talk about restoring my clan what do you say. You could belong to the best clan in the world. Hey Haku you can join too if you want." After he finished he was pinned to a tree by two of the most powerful ninjas there.
"If you ever speak to Haku like that I will make sure that you don't live to see another sunrise." Zabuza said.
"How dare you speak to my fiancée in that matter, if we weren't on a mission I would have killed you on the spot." Ryu said.
"Enough!" Naruto yelled "we are on a mission here, besides if anyone is going to deal with him its going to be me, first he insults my sister and then my good friend. Mark my words Uchiha you have just dug your grave." Naruto said to the group then to Sasuke.
"Bah you can't touch me, I am an Uchiha if you touch me the council will have your head, and besides I will have those two, I always get what I want." the arrogant bastard said only to be pinned to the tree by four shurikens. Two on his shoulders and two on his legs. He gave out a scream of pain as the tore into his flesh.
"Let me tell you something Uchiha, outside of the walls of your village, your precious council can't do shit. Accidents happen on missions and you can get killed. Also the reason you are dealing with me is because those two would have killed you without a second thought. But for that remark I will kill you now instead after the mission is complete. Now before you start ranting that you are a Uchiha, let me tell you this I don't give a shit who your clan was. I have killed kings, warlords, and Kages without even thinking, do you want to know why they call me, The Bloody Dragon well today you will find out why." Naruto was about to kill the terrified Sasuke only to be stopped by Kakashi.
"Naruto please excuse my student, now I know of the traditions of your village so as retribution I offer my services to your family in exchange for his life." Kakashi said as he bowed he looked up and looked at Naruto an gave him a wink.
"You cunning son of a bitch" Naruto thought. "Very well, as of today you will serve my family as bodyguard your stay as a Leaf is now over remove your headband." Kakashi did what he was told. Then Naruto turned to Sasuke as he was still pinned to the tree. "Thank your formal sensei he has taken the punishment for you." Naruto walked up to Sasuke and pulled out the shuriken. Sasuke fell on his ass and passed out. "Now that this matter has been resolved lets get back to the mission. Now Kurenai you are now the leader of the Leaf in this and your mission is to keep the old man alive. Mist you are to go back to Gato but we need to make look like you were defeated so." Naruto went over to Zabuza and proceeded to kick his ass harshly. "There now that is better, Haku if they asked say that the Leaf did it they must not know that my team is here. As for my team we will be around the village as part of the population. When the time comes we will strike until then this meeting never happened got it." Everyone nodded and went their separate ways except for Kakashi as he now was with Naruto and his team. Kurenai carried the unconscious Sasuke back with her.
For the next two weeks everything was going according to plan. Zabuza had reported to Gato that there was some Leaf nins helping the bridge builder, this pissed Gato off so he sent 400 of his men to kill the nins and the bridge builder. The men never made it the village as they were ambushed on the way over to the village. When Gato got news that his men were slaughtered he sent 1000 men to make sure that they burn everything in the village as a way to show the others to keep their hope down that there was no one coming to save them. Again they never made it but to make things worse Gato had lost contact with the men inside. Kurenai and her genin were training in the forest when a girl came up to them picking herbs. She passed Kurenai and passed her a note. The note stated that everything was going according to plan and the men that Gato sent were all killed and burned. It goes on to say that in four days time Zabuza was going to 'attack' the bridge and he was going to bring at least 600 men with him, and for her not to worry as he was going to be there as one of their workers along with the other two. He also said not to worry about the girl as she was part of the other team that was sent in with them.
Four days had passed and the Leaf were on the bridge. Sasuke was pissed because Kurenai refused to train him stating that she was not obligated to train him anything because he had a teacher and lost him because of his foolishness. Hinata for some reason couldn't keep her mind of Naruto she was deeply infatuated with him that first time she saw him. Then suddenly an explosion hit the bridge, many of the workers started to run away in fear.
Zabuza was standing on top of the bridge with 600 men behind him, they all looked the same but only about 20 of them looked different. They were dressed in gray ninja garbs covering there faces were mask. On their chests were the insignia for the Black Spider Clan. Zabuza hadn't had time to to inform Naruto that the clan was among the group. Gato was getting desperate and sent his best men.
The leaf nins got into formation when suddenly Naruto and his team showed up but he wasn't alone team Tenshi was also their. They were all wearing their battle gear. Naruto pulled out his sword and began to cut down the mercs. He was doing find until he encountered one of the Spiders. He jumped and kicked the spider in the head. The spider countered by throwing a exploding shuriken at him. Naruto caught it and threw it into the water. This gave the Spider a chance to pull out his weapon. Both Dragon and Spider nins were in heated combat and everyone who wasn't fighting watched in awe.
Sakura went into her fighting stance. She cut down many of the merc with no problem, that is until she fought one of the Spider clan. She uppercutted him into the air where she met him with a devastating kick to the stomach. As the nin fell to the ground she grabbed him and started to spin him around. As they fell the speed of the spin increased until they reached the floor, She let go and he hit the floor full force killing him. She was about to go on with the attack when another spider came and attacked her. She was sent flying but quickly recovered.
Ryu was fighting with precision and power he would take out four or more mercs with one attack. He jumped up and did four front flips with his sword extended moving forward as he finished a rotation he would take out four merc and one Spider. When he landed he was hit by four legs into the air. He quickly recovered and used that attack to use his ninpo attack which created a electric storm around his body after which the build-up would break free and send tentacles of electricity down at the enemies killing them instantly.
Team Tenshi was next to the Leaf as backup if they were needed. Their job was to collect information which they did. That is what there team was created for, it was a behind the scenes part and Team Oni were the main actors which they played beautifully. Beside them were the Leaf. Kurenai couldn't believe how ruthless these teenagers were. She turned to one of the Tenshi. "Miss, what can you tell me more about that team all I know are their names."
"Ayane is my name, well that team is called Team Oni. They are called that because of how they fight as you can see they are ruthless. If you get on their bad side, they will kill you. Naruto as you know him is called the Bloody Dragon because when he was nine killed the old Mizukage, then proceeded to fight in the revolt of mist with the Seven Swordsmen of Mist. That revolt is were he earned his name. He himself took out fourteen squads. Not to mention Sakura there she was given the name of Bloody Sakura because after every kill she leave a trail of sakura petals to mark her kill. Now Ryu is the Shadow Demon because when he kills you don't even know your dead until you hit the floor. The last thing you see is a shadow. One more thing if you are mark for death from this team they will follow you to the ends of the Earth until you are dead, and they have yet to lose anyone."
Naruto was having the time of his life never had he been challenged that with fight with this Spider. It was obvious that he was the leader to this squad. He moved to hit the nin but he countered with his sword. Both swords locked together trying to gain superiority over the other. Both fighters were evenly matched, but the nin elbowed Naruto in the side making him lose his balance and the sword came down hitting him in the arm but Naruto did not scream he was used to the sting of the blade. He slowly remove the blade from his arm and charged the nin, which was now unarmed. He couldn't do nothing to defend himself, he thought he had beaten Naruto because he had hit his main arm but soon found out that his offhand was just as effective as his main. Naruto sliced through the Spiders head vertically. The last thing the Spider saw was Naruto split in two before he fell to the ground dead.
The fight itself lasted for a good ten hours and everyone was in awe as one team of three teenager killed over 600 mercs and nins and manage to walk away with little to no injuries well except for Naruto whose are arms was still bleeding from the stab wound. Ayane ran to his side to nurse the wound which made Hinata a little jealous, she wished it was her that was by his side. Kasumi also went to his side to help.
"Naruto you idiot how many time have I told you not to overdo it but do you ever listen to me no." Ayane berated him. "But thats what I love it about you though." She gave him a small kiss on the lips. Kasumi who just reached Naruto side saw how Ayane kissed Naruto and got very depressed. Naruto saw this and gestured her to come over.
"Now I know this isn't the best place to discuss this but I have found out that I have to have multiple wives. I have always had feelings for both of you, but was to afraid to express them. I was so happy when Ayane came up to me and told me she loved me. So I made her my girlfriend, but I didn't know if you Kasumi even liked me until now. I could see the hurt in your eyes, and so since I have to marry three or more wives I want to make sure that we can get along. I know that you and Ayane are best friends so I was wondering if both of you are willing to share and become my first and second wives.
Ayane couldn't believe what she was hearing Naruto was asking her if she was willing to share and become his wife. She also knew that Kasumi was in love with Naruto for a long time now since she first introduced them. She to was in love with him for a long time, she was happy and sadden when he first made her girlfriend. Happy because she was with the one she loved but sadden because Kasumi went home crying when she first found out. She didn't have to think long when she was given the choice. "Oh course Naruto I will become your wife and I don't mind sharing you with Kasumi as I know how much she loves you and will never hurt you."
All that what was going through Kasumi's head was "I can't believe that Naruto asked me to marry him, this is the best day of my life. I don't mind sharing him with Ayane or the other girls either if I get a chance to be with him and have a family." She quickly answered with a "Of course Naruto I will be more than happy to share you if it means I can be with you and have a family." and she went to hug him but remembered his arm. "But first lets get you fixed up."
The Leaf and The Dragon were back at Tazuna house having a post-battle meeting. Tsunami had just made tea and left the dining room as to not get in their way.
"Well it would seem that Gato is getting desperate as he sent all of the Spiders that he hired. My guess that he will be coming personally to make sure that the bridge builder is killed. Kasumi what has our spies reported."
Kasumi got up and pointed to the map of the country. "Indeed Gato is getting desperate as he is pulling all his men from the other surrounding villages. Their number round out to the near thousands mostly lowly mercs, some missing nins mainly c-rank ones. Also Naruto you are right he will be making his way down to this village his camp is 10 miles north of here and will attack at dawn."
"Damn this isn't good maybe a couple hundred we can handle but thousands is to much for us. Zabuza I know you are ready to spill blood so I can count on you right?" Zabuza nodded with a grin on his face. Finally this mission was beginning to get interesting. "Kakashi, you will fight beside me, Kurenai is your genins ready to spill blood?"
Kurenai looked at her genins with sadness in her eyes, she did not want to expose them to this part of being a ninja so soon but now she did not have a choice. "Hai, they are ready."
"Good tomorrow at dawn be ready for battle, Team Oni lets go we much to do." Naruto and his group got up and left the house.
Kurenai turned to her students "Everyone please follow me outside I think its time to give you the talk."
The following morning every ninja were standing at the gates of the village Naruto was giving his orders to his group using hand signs. Suddenly the ground started to vibrate, everyone got into alert mode. "Ok they are about to reach the first trap." Suddenly explosions were heard among the explosions were screams of pain, but the soldiers kept on marching. "Second trap it about to be triggered." One of the mercs tripped over the trip line sending hundreds of kunai knives at the army taking out a couple hundred, but still they marched on stepping on their fallen comrades. "Third and final trap everyone get ready for battle." As the the army got closer he signaled Sakura and Ryu to have the flaming arrows ready. The army got in sight Naruto raised his hand and so Ryu and Sakura raised their bow. The army was now in the right spot for Naruto to do the most damage he lowered his hand and two flaming arrows flew hitting their targets. The barrels filled with black power exploded sending metal shards at them. Many of the mercs fell to the ground dead as the metal sliced through them like a hot knife cutting butter.
The army of thousands were now cut down to a mere 1000 men, still a bit much but nothing the ninjas can handle. "All right everyone this is what we were hired to do. Do not let any of these pigs pass. Gato is mine but any one else is far game." Naruto yelled as he pulled out his trusty sword. "Get ready" Everyone got into their fighting stance. "Attack!" The Ninjas went into battle. Naruto using his father's style was cutting the mercs down like they were nothing. Sakura was using her style, slicing the merc as if they were cattle at a slaughter house. Ryu using his father sword was fighting the enemy up close and personal he wasn't getting as much kills as his teammates but his kills were still pretty high. Zabuza and Kakashi were having the time of their lives. It had been a long time since these two had a good battle. The battle lasted a good 18 hours, Sasuke was scared for his life he was hardly ever in battle and had not killed any one yet. Team 8 was faring far better than originally thought. Hinata had killed at least 140 mercs by herself. Shino and his bugs killed 100 and Kiba with his dog had 160 kills. At the end of it all there was only 200 men left and Gato who had been captured as he tried to leave the battlefield.
"Well its over finally." Naruto said as he wiped away the blood that was on his face. "Now all is left is to kill Gato as to our mission bring him here." Haku and Team Tenshi came with the prisoner. "Gato as the order of the Daiymo of Wave country you are hereby sentenced to death." Gato was pleading for his life telling him that he would give him anything he wanted money, women anything but Naruto wasn't hearing it. He was ordered to kill and that is what he was going to do. Ayane and Kasumi was holding Gato down on his knees as Naruto got closer. Naruto unsheathed his sword lifted it over his head and brought it down severing Gato's head from his body. "Mission Accomplished. We can now go home. Kakashi and Team Tenshi we leave tonight. Leaf hope we met again as friends and not as enemies as we will not show pity and you Uchiha consider yourself lucky if it wasn't for your teacher then you would be like that scum but don't cross me again as I will kill you. This is your final warning." and with that the Dragon clan left to get their stuff ready for their departure. "oh and the remaining mercs are for you to do as you please." he said as he walked away
Later that night everyone was celebrating the death of Gato. The 200 mercs were sent over to the villagers to do as they pleased. They were hanged in the town center. Just outside of Wave country stood four Ninja teams. The Dragons were all packed up and ready to leave but they were saying good bye to the others. "As to protocol after your missions are over I will send a copy of our mission report. Also I will speak with your Hokage, Kurenai. I need to speak to him about the attitude of the Uchiha, and other matters." Naruto began to walk away before he heard someone yell at him.
"Naruto wait." Naruto turned around to see that it was Haku who stopped him and she was blushing. "Can I speak with you alone."
"Sure Haku." Then he turned to his fiancées "I will be right back." he gave them a hug and walked to speak with Haku. Both Kasumi and Ayane had knowing smiles. After leaving out of earshot of the others he turned to Haku. "What is it Hak..." but he never finished his sentence as he felt a pair of warm lips on his.
"So.rry a.bou.t th.at I just w.wanted to tell you t.th.at I l.l.love you." She said with a blush "I have always loved you, ever since you saved me from the my father all those years ago, if it wasn't for you my father would have killed me because of my bloodline."
"Haku, you are very special to me, but as you know I am getting married to Kasumi and Ayane so as you can see I can't be with you." Naruto said to Haku. He was waiting for the tears to come but they never did only a smile.
"Now Naruto I know all about your engagement and I am happy for you but I also know about how you have to have multiple wives, three being the minimum, all I ask for is a chance to win your heart."
Naruto looked into her eyes and saw that they were full of love for him. They had been long time friends, sure he had some romantic feelings for her but he never acted upon them. He had no idea about how she felt for him but now he did. "Sure Haku, how bout next time I am in Mist I will take you out and we can go from there ok."
"That fine Naruto that all I wanted," she said as she hugged him "now lets get going I'll bet your fiancées will get worried if I take to much of your time." she said as she let go of him.
"Don't worry about them, maybe one day you will be at equal terms with them." Naruto said with a smirk in which Haku blushed at.
With everyone together again the Dragon nins were finally on their way home after finishing their mission. Mist did the same as their mission was to gather information about the tyrant in Wave and with him gone they had no reason to stay. The Leaf had to stay until the bridge was complete as to their mission of protecting Tazuna, but with Gato dead the treat level was low to none. It had taken Naruto and group four weeks to return home, after which he went to speak with the village elders about certain issues.
(1) In Leaf the Jonins can pick who is on what team and who gets to train them. Not all the villagers mainly the ninjas like Sasuke as to why no one wanted to train him.
(2) The Dragon clan is one of the most powerful clans in the world, it isn't uncommon to have many operatives in other villages to keep track on the workings the village, as such we know that Zabuza and Haku are his spies for Mist. And as of right now Kakashi is for the Leaf, also there are more as to the person he was speaking with before the Leaf left and gave him the info that Kakashi and Kurenai were on the mission. Try and guess who the other operative is.
(3) Kakashi was the go between for the Leaf and Dragon clan, he had to work with Kanae when in the village, they fell inlove and got married
