"So we'll be fighting tomorrow won't we?" Naruto asked as he sat on the roof of Tazuna's house.

"Seems like it," Kyuubi said as she sat next to Naruto. "You know you didn't have to be that mean to Inari," Kyuubi said.

"Well… it's just that someone that acts that pathetic shouldn't even talk about such things… after all tou-san was taken from me and Edgar just because we didn't escape in time," Naruto said as he stared up at the moon.

"Still… he's just a little kid… you and Edgar acted like that at first when your tou-san was taken from you," Kyuubi said trying to defend Inari a bit.

"We had an excuse… it was because of us that he died and I still regret it," Naruto said as he clutched his chest. "The summonite in my body and my brother's is one way to remember tou-san," Naruto said as he clutched his chest tighter.

"Let's stop thinking of the past right now… after what's done is done. Right now we need to concentrate on what we're going to do at the fight tomorrow which is sure to occur," Kyuubi said as she pulled Naruto up.

"True… I need to ask Zabuza what his sword is made of. It was quite interesting how it conducted magic easily," Naruto said as he went back inside.

"Too quick," Kyuubi said as she followed Naruto downstairs.

Meanwhile.

"Haku prepare to strike the bridge tomorrow," Zabuza said as he started to flex his arms.

"Hai… are really going to make that boy one of your tools?" Haku asked.

"I told you before that he is useful so we'll be using him as a tool just like you," Zabuza said as he lied back down.

"I see… after all you only need tools after all," Haku said with a deadpan expression. 'Something tells me my fight won't be too easy,' Haku thought as she exited the room.

"Yo Edgar what are you doing out here tonight?" Dinah asked as she saw Edgar by the ruins of his old house.

"I was just thinking of the past," Edgar replied as he turned to face Dinah.

"You still worried about Naruto?" She asked as she stood next to Naruto.

"I guess you could say that. We haven't heard from him in a year, which is overdoing it in my opinion. He could have at least come to visit us at least once," Edgar said as he stared at the moon again.

"I'm sure he's just too busy right now," Dinah said as she came up beside Edgar.

"Wow! I'm amazed that you're acting nice today," Edgar said in a shocked tone.

"What do you mean I'm acting nice? What I meant to say is that Naruto probably forgot about you and is happily living in…" Dinah began to say only to stop.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Dinah began to say before her appearance changed. Instead of black wings she had white ones and her t-shirt had a heart instead of a broken one. "She really is worried about your younger brother also and just can't say it outright. I too am worried something bad might have happened to Naruto," The girl began to say.

"I understand… I just hope he'd come to visit us soon," Edgar said.

"Gah… I can't believe I let her take over my body again," Dinah said as she returned to her normal self. "Although I guess I do miss him a bit," Dinah said in a small voice.

"Maybe we should prepare for his birthday? I think it's soon," Edgar said in a thoughtful voice.

"…I can't believe that you forgot your brother's birthday… I'm not sure which of you two is worse," Dinah said as she shook her head.

"… you don't need to rub it in," Edgar said before he looked up at the moon.

"Alright team are we all ready to go?" Kakashi asked as he sat in the kitchen.

"We are all up but Naruto and his girl friend seem to be sleeping," Sakura said not noticing Sasuke twitch at the mention of the girl friend.

"I see… well it's been tough on Naruto even if I don't know what happened to him… so let's let him sleep in for a bit longer," Kakashi said as he left the house.

"…girlfriend," Sasuke said under his breath before he left the house.

"Have a safe trip," Tsunami said before she returned to the kitchen.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Sasuke get ready," Kakashi said as team 7 missing one member reached the bridge.

"I know," Sasuke said as they saw a hazy mist drift in from the uncompleted side of the bridge.

"Seems like you're missing the one member of your team," Zabuza's voice sounded from the mist before 6 Zabuza's surrounded team 7.

"If you're talking of Naruto we let him have a break today especially after what happened last night," Kakashi said as he got into a better fighting stance.

"Why would you want a dead last dope like him anyway?" Sasuke asked as he took out a kunai.

"Only someone as narrow minded as you will never understand," Zabuza said as he advanced forward.

"Hmph as if… that dope will never be stronger then me," Sasuke said as he moved and dispelled the 6 water clones.

"Oh the weak one has gotten stronger," Zabuza's voice came from the end of the bridge.

"Hmph… the weak one is not me but Naruto," Sasuke said as he started to rush towards Zabuza.

"Haku take care of him," Zabuza said not moving an inch.

"Hai," Haku said as she rushed quickly to Sasuke before landing a kick on his chin sending him backwards.

'Fast,' was what Sasuke thought as he flipped backwards to land on his feet. "Take this," Sasuke yelled as he charaged again at Haku.

"It's useless," Haku said as she appeared in front of Sasuke again only this time with some needles.

"I don't think so," Sasuke replied as he brought out his own kunai to block the needle stab.

"I see… but you are at a disadvantage here," Haku began to explain. "We are surrounded by water and because of that there is no way you can win," Haku said as she started to perform one handed seals. "Sensatsu Suishou Hijutsu," Haku shouted as she stamped on the ground.

"What?" Sasuke said as he saw the water around them turn into needles.

"You can not win here," Haku said as the needles converged onto their location.

"Shit," Sasuke said as he jumped back in the air. "Take this Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu," Sasuke shouted as he let out a ball of fire towards Haku.

"Mizu no Tate,­"(I think that's right for shield of water… I'm not Japanese so I can't find names like that…) Haku shouted causing the water around her to converge in front of her, nullifying the fire jutsu.

"Too bad your other student isn't here… without him Haku won't have a challenge," Zabuza said as he finally moved forward. "I guess I'll have to get my new tool another time… after all mission comes first," Zabuza said as he rushed forward toward Tazuna.

"I won't let you," Kakashi said as he put his hand on his head band. "Sharingan," Kakashi shouted as his sharingan came into view.

"Oh ho using your sharingan again I see… no matter I'll win no matter what, Kirigakure no Jutsu," Zabuza said in mid charge while performing the right hand seals. "This time I won't lose," Zabuza's voice came from within the mist.

"We'll see about that," Kakashi said as he stood still in his position.

"You should know of my technique Kakashi. Last time you were in it I was a bit too rash so I messed up. But this time," Zabuza said as he appeared behind Kakashi.

"Shit," Kakahsi said as he dodged just in time.

"I'll take my time," Zabuza said as he disappeared in the mist again.

"Gah I overslept," Naruto shouted as he literally jumped out of the bed he was in.

"Huh… what's so loud in the morning?" Kyuubi asked as she got out of the same bed Naruto was in.

"We overslept," Naruto yelled unfazed by Kyuubi in a loose night robe beside him.

"What?!?! I can't believe that and the team just left us," Kyuubi said as she started to get dressed in other clothing.

"Gack why are you changing in here!?!?" Naruto asked as a trickle of blood came out of his nose.

"Well… since we are like boyfriend girlfriend and we've been together for such a long time I don't really mind… after all I've seen you in the bath plenty of more times then you've seen me naked," Kyuubi said as she continued to dress leaving a shocked Naruto.

"Gah now's not the time to stall must get dressed and get info out of Zabuza," Naruto said as he quickly changed into a new set of clothes before rushing out.

"Stop," Kyuubi said silently as she stopped Naruto from exiting the house by grabbing his scarf effectively choking him a bit.

"Can't breathe," Naruto began to say only to be ignored by Kyuubi.

"Something's going on outside and it doesn't look too good," Kyuubi said as fox ears appeared on top of her head and started to twitch in subtle movements.

"Hey you're right… you ready Kyu?" Naruto asked in a serious voice.

"I'm always ready," Kyuubi said as her claws extended and her face became a bit more feral.

Meanwhile outside.

"Let my mom go!" Inari shouted as he began to run towards the 2 henchmen.

"Time for some blood," one of the two henchmen said as he raised his katana to slash down only to meet another sword.

"Wind Force," Naruto shouted as he pressed his hand against one of the henchmen's chest. A blast of wind sent the man back effectively knocking him out while sinking into the water.

"What the," the 2nd said only to be silenced by Kyuubi with her claws.

"That should do it," Naruto said as he put Soul Harmony on his back.

"Good thing we overslept or else someone might have been killed," Kyuubi said as she started to wash her claws in the lake.

"Inari what you did there was really brave. I'm pretty sure that your dad is looking at you with pride right now," Naruto said as he stretched a bit. "We'll be back," Naruto said as he and Kyuubi disappeared.

"I can't stand idle I have to help," Inari said as he started to awaken his mom.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"This is the end for you. Inside these mirrors nothing has ever gotten out," Haku said as she continued with the barrage of needles.

"We'll see about that," Sasuke said weakly as he tried to desperately dodge the needles coming his way.

"Time to end this," Haku said in a cold voice as the speed of the needles seemed to increase causing Sasuke to panic a little.

'If only my Sharingan would activate,' Sasuke began to think. 'No I won't die like this I will live to kill Itachi I have to live,' Sasuke thought as he closed his eyes before opening them.

"Too bad that Zabuza has no need for the Sharingan," Haku said as the needles hit Sasuke neck immobilizing him.

"Kuso and I finally had my strength come to me," Sasuke said in a low tone.

"The end," Haku said as she prepared to strike only to stop when she heard something.

"Fire Enchant," both heard a familiar voice say before one of the mirrors broke into tiny pieces.

"Looks like I'm not too late," Naruto said as he entered the dome of mirrors with Soul Harmony covered in dark red flames.

"Let me take care of that hussy," Kyuubi said as she faced Haku. "Nobody steals my man," Kyuubi said as she rushed at the mirror Haku was in.

"Fast," Haku said as she saw Kyuubi come at her. "But in here I'm faster," Haku said as she disappeared into another mirror.

"That may be true, but what happens if I destroy these mirrors?" Kyuubi asked as she broke the one Haku was recently in.

"Shit," Haku said as she started to throw needles at Kyuubi.

"Not gonna let that happen," Naruto said as he appeared in front of Kyuubi blocking all the needles.

'He is good,' Haku thought as she escaped from another mirror.

"You won't last much longer like that," Kyuubi said as she broke another mirror leaving only 4 more mirrors.

"Just don't kill her Kyu-chan… after all I'm pretty sure our infiltration mission last night proved that she is not our real target," Naruto said getting a groan from Kyuubi.

"I regret going on that mission with you… now I can't beat up this hussy… much," Kyuubi said as she broke another mirror.

"What do you mean real target?" Haku asked as she jumped out of her last mirror.

"You do know that Gatou is planning on betraying you today on this bridge whether you complete your mission or not," Naruto said as he stood next to Kyuubi.

"Yup that's the way Gatou planned it… I wished he hadn't," Kyuubi said as she clenched her claws.

"But we are still enemies," Haku said as she got into a defensive stance.

"At your current level you won't be able to get both of us serious," both Kyuubi and Naruto said at the same time as they walked past her.

"I'll…" Haku began only to stop when she felt the intense glares from the duo.

"I need to ask what Zabuza's sword is made up of now," Naruto said his glare instantly dissipating.

"Honestly why must you do that," Kyuubi said as she chased after Naruto.

'Those two are on a totally different level together… it seemed as if both were one right there,' Haku thought as she went over what happened.

"Yo Zabuza," Naruto said as he appeared next to Zabuza in the mist shocking Kakashi and Zabuza.

"When did he get here?" Zabuza shouted as he jumped back further into the mist.

"Oh I just got here and finished fighting with Haku," Naruto said as he pointed Soul Harmony Zabuza's direction. "Now I wonder what's stronger your zanbato or my Soul Harmony," Naruto said as a torrent of power started to come out of the sword blowing the mist away.

"What sheer power," Zabuza said as he tried to keep his cool.

'This power… it seems like the one from the Kyuubi attack… but that's impossible,' Kakashi thought as he soon saw red chakra come out of the blade and surround Naruto.

"With Kyu-chan by my side I feel much stronger," Naruto said as Kyuubi stood next to him.

"He's easily at a jounin level right now," Zabuza said as he stared at Naruto. "Interesting I shall enjoy this," Zabuza said as he lifted his Zanbato and charged.

"Kakashi-sensei please leave this to me," Naruto said as the red chakra fully engulfed him. "Battle start," Naruto said as he disappeared from sheer speed.

"Fast but not to my eyes," Zabuza said as he raised his Zanbato and slashed down to meet Naruto's sword.

"I'm much stronger then before," Naruto said as he pushed Zabuza back some more.

"I won't lose in strength to some petty Genin," Zabuza said as he suddenly pushed back with more force.

"As if I will lose," Naruto replied as he started to add more force and chakra.

'This really is Kyuubi's power! But how?' Kakashi thought as he saw a red chakra emerge from Naruto.

"A bit too much chakra there," Naruto said as most of his chakra with Kyuubi's lashed out at Zabuza.

"I have to end this quickly," Zabuza said as he brought his Zanbato down stronger then before.

"You know we don't have fight to the death," Naruto said as Soul Harmony started to glow brighter.

"What do you mean by that?" Zabuza asked as he attacked again.

"Gatou was planning on betraying you the moment you either completed or failed the mission," Naruto said as he jumped back.

"I knew I couldn't trust that pig… oh well… but that doesn't mean I'll knock you unconscious," Zabuza said as he appeared next to Naruto and delivered a slash which Naruto blocked.

"I guess this is where I step in," Kakashi said as he took out a scroll and started to do some seals before slamming the scroll onto the ground. (forgot the name of the technique)

"Damn what are these dogs?" Zabuza said as he was immobilized by Kakashi's summons.

"They'll keep on holding onto you and won't let go so I suggest you stop trying," Kakashi said as he looked around. "And here we have company," Kakashi said as he pointed at the end of the bridge. There stood Gatou and some men which all looked ready for blood shed.

"So I see you and your pet tool lost Zabuza," Gatou said as he held his crane. "Too bad I don't have any use for you anymore so now you die," Gatou said as the army of mercenaries behind him grunted in agreement.

"He won't be dieing today because we're here," Naruto said as he stepped forward.

"Let me do all the work," Kyuubi said as she stepped forward.

"Fine… just don't kill… too much," Naruto said only to see Kyuubi put on a feral face.

"I'm not sure if I'll agree to that," Kyuubi said as she stepped forward before disappearing.

"I hope she doesn't over do it," Naruto said getting worried looks from everyone else.

"Where did that girl go?" Gatou asked as he looked around.

"Too late," Kyuubi said as she appeared next to Gatou before slitting his throat. "Anymore opposers?" Kyuubi asked as she glared at the mercenaries.

"You killed our meal ticket so definitely," one of the brigand members said as he stepped forward.

"Damn… this is going the way Kyuubi want it… time to step in," Naruto said as he stood up only to stop when he saw an arrow fly overhead.

"We'll protect this bridge no matter what," Naruto heard Inari say from the other side of the bridge with what looked like an army of villagers.

"Oh ho this works out fine," Naruto said as he saw the group of mercenaries slowly start to filter off of the bridge and fall into the water below.

"Damn no fun there," Kyuubi said as she walked back towards Naruto.

"YEAH WE ARE RID OF GATOU AND THOSE THUGS!!!" Some villagers started screaming jubilantly while others sobbed silently in joy.

"This is truly a great moment," Tazuna said as he started to sob a bit.

"It sure is… Naruto can I speak with you now?" Kakashi asked in a tone that made Naruto not refuse.

"I guess… Kyu," Naruto said as he followed Kakashi off the bridge with Kyu next to him.

"Seems like something interesting is going on," Zabuza said as he noticed his tool, Haku come up to him.

"Zabuza-sama I was no match for those two… I am sorry I failed you as a tool," Haku began but was stopped by Zabuza.

"Well… just don't mess up next time… as for now I want you to spy on that kid and his sensei on what they are discussing right now," Zabuza said as he pointed to where they went.

"Hai," Haku said as she created a mirror before disappearing inside of it.

"Too many secretes these days," Zabuza said as he sat down trying to ignore the constant yelling and dancing from the villagers. 'troublesome,'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Who are you really?" Kakashi asked Naruto once the two were a fair distance away from the bridge.

"What do you mean I'm Naruto? The same old guy who's on your team," Naruto said as if it were the most common thing on earth.

"I know that but… how do I say this… didn't you just use Kyuubi's Chakra?" Kakashi asked in a hesitant voice.

"Oh that's simple that's because she's standing right next to me," Naruto said as Kyuubi's eyes turned a darker red.

"K-K-KKKKKKKKYUUBI!??!?!?!?!?!?" Kakashi screamed out mainly out of fear then shock. "But she was sealed in a young boy by my sensei, also the boy disappeared on that same night. There's no possible way for you to be that boy!" Kakashi asserted his ideas.

"Well you have visual proof that I'm here," Kyuubi said as nine tails appeared behind her one of them wrapping around Naruto's waist.

"Don't worry she's practically harmless," Naruto said only to receive a hard hit on the head resulting in a bump forming on the top of his head. "Most of the times," Naruto said as he rubbed the bump.

"…I guess I'll get my explanation from Hokage," Kakashi said as he pulled out a orange book before walking back to the bridge. "As long as you don't attack anyone from Konoha I have no reason to attack you back… although I still feel mal about you and sensei," Kakashi said as he walked back.

"Do you think I should have told him about his sensei being your real father?" Kyuubi asked seeing Naruto move a bit.

"No… I'm perfectly fine as being known as a nobody who suddenly appeared," Naruto said as he walked again. "Oh and Haku don't try spying on us it just won't work," Naruto said as he jumped up into the air before flying away.

"You stay away from ok?" Kyuubi asked in more of a demand then a question before disappearing herself.

"Those two are definitely strong and strange," Haku said before she too disappeared in one of her mirrors.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I kind of feel sorry for him now don't you?" Naruto asked Kyuubi as they looked at the scene in front of them.

"Well that's what he gets for acting all cool and attracting girl's like flies," Kyuubi said as she snickered at the scene.

"Save me," Sasuke said weakly as Sakura was on top of him crying saying he was dead or something like that.

"Do you think she'll realize he's not dead?" Naruto asked.

"No she knows he's not dead. She's only pretending so she can stay on him longer," Kyuubi said as they watched the helpless struggle of Sasuke against Sakura.

"Oni…" Sasuke said before passing out from lack of breath, thanks to Sakura.

"Let's go back, I'm sure Tsunami has a feast waiting or something," Naruto said as he walked away ignoring Sasuke.

"Ok," Kyuubi said as she latched onto Naruto's arm ignoring Sasuke's constant wailing.

2 days later

"Thanks for making us that meal Tsuami-san it was delicious," Naurto said as team 7 stood by the other end of the bridge.

"Oh thank you Naruto-kun well we had to do the best for Wave countries saviors," Tsunami said in a generous tone.

"Yeah without you guys Wave could be in a real huge bind right now," Tazuna said in a jovial tone.

"You better come back and visit," Inari said as tears started to form in his eyes.

"Don't worry I'm sure both Naruto and I will come and visit," Kyuubi said wiping a tear from Inari's eye.

"Yeah we will… that is if we can get out of Konoha," Naruto said as they went to their team.

"It's a promise you guys will come back right?" Inari asked a bit desperate.

"Definetly a craftknight must not break his word after all," Naruto said as they walked off of the bridge.

"Now with the part of naming this bridge what should we call it?" Tazuna asked everyone who just stood there thinking.

"I know! What about the Great Naruto Bridge?" Inari asked getting approval from the townspeople.

"Seems like everyone likes it so it will stay," Tazuna said with a happy grin on his face.

"Zabuza-sama what should we do now?" Haku asked from a nearby tree.

"Well… for now we'll continue on doing missions to raise money. Sooner or later I'll take on the Mizukage himself, but before that we'll get Naruto to help," Zabuza said as he checked his sword. "I need to get something like that done to my Zanbato," Zabuza said as he put his Zanbato on his back.

"I hope we can meet again so I can beat them," Haku said as they prepared to leave.

"Are you sure? I thought you wanted to meet them again because of the boy Naruto," Zabuza said making Haku blush a little.

"Perhaps," Haku said before she jumped away.

"This is getting complicated," Zabuza said as he too jumped away going after Haku.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Orochimaru-san I have received word from the Kazekage that he is willing to participate in the invasion of Konoha," Kabuto said as he walked into Orochimaru's room.

"Excellent… now if only I can summon something better then different colored tanks," Orochimaru yelled out the last part as Kabuto saw the room filled with mainly green tanks but some other colors as well.

"Maybe you should take a break for now," Kabuto suggested in a worried tone.

"No I will summons something better then what Mizuki summoned before," Orochimaru said as he started another ritual. "Not another tank," Orochimaru screamed as he threw the tank to the other side of the room.

"I don't think you should've done that," Kabuto said as he saw the other tanks converge on Orochimaru's location.

"What harm could these puny little tanks do?" Orochimaru asked only to receive severe burns from the blasts.

"Just be sure to put away your toys later Orochimaru-sama," Kabuto said as he left the room with Orochimaru still screaming.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Naruto I think Edgar and the gang are getting lonely without you," Kyuubi said as they continued walking.

"I bet they are… maybe I can ask the old man if I can go on a vaction?" Naruto asked as they continued on walking oblivious to the rest of the teammates listening in on their conversation.

"Say the word and we'll go back to our home world," Kyuubi said in a bit of an excited tone.

"That won't be much longer I hope," Naruto said as he looked forward. Everyone else quickly turned around pretending to act normal.

"Well let's go team we have another mission after this… a pretty exciting one also," Kakashi said as the team continued their journey to Konoha.

A/n: Sorry for the late update but my mom was getting angry and I couldn't go on the computer. Also there is the problem with finishing Summer homework. At least my Sat Boot camp is over… althought the best score I got so far was only a 1900… need 300 more points to get into a good colledge. Wish me luck and so on. Well a least I'm not bored anymore I'm just out of ideas almost so I decided to update my other stories which have the most Alerts and stuff… so expect Demon Lineage and Viewtiful Naruto to be updated soon.
