the next morning naruto woke up before anko and saiya and decided to take a shower. he was in there for about ten minutes before walking out in nothing but a towel. thinking that anko and saiya were still asleep he walked over to his bag and grabbed a change of clothes and began to get dressed.

anko and saiya woke up and looked down at the end of the bed just in time to see naruto drop his towel. anko giggled and said. "i wouldn't mind waking up to that in the morning."

"as long as you take turns anko." saiya stated with a playfull grin on her face.

naruto chuckled. "alright you two get dressed we have to get going. i'll go wake up ameyuri-chan and kaa-chan up. it sounds like kiba and tanzuna are already up. i'll meet you in the lobby." naruto walked out of the room and went down the hall to kushina and ameyuri's room. he knocked on the door. when he didn't hear an answer he knocked again. this time there was a come in. when he walked in he saw ameyuri on the couch in he normal battle kimono reading a fashion magazine. he looked around the room and asked. "where's kaa-chan."

ameyuri looked up from her magazine and said. "shower. so what's our plan."

"well we go into wave country deliver the client and wait for him to finish the bridge. we might run into your buddy zabuza though."

ameyuri grinned. "where gonna see zabu-chan. that's good. trust me if i'm with you he won't be a problem. so when do we leave."

"one hour make sure to tell kaa-chan."

ameyuri nodded when he left. an hour later the group was walking down the dirt road twoards the boarder of fire country. when they made it there tanzuna informed them that they would have to take a boat from the boarder to wave then walk a couple of miles to his house.

it took three hours for the team to arive in wave country. they walked down the wooded path twoards tanzuna's house when naruto heard a whistleing sound. he recognized the sound and yelled. "everybody down." after everybody dropped they saw a giant guilitine sword embed itself in a tree infront of them. a large man stood on top of it.

ameyuri smiled. "zabu-chan is that you." zabuza looked down from his sword and looked like he had seen a ghost there was only one girl he knew with red hair and shark like teeth and only one person dared called him zabu-chan and lived to tell about it.

"ameyuri-neechan is that really you." ameyuri nodded. zabuza jumped down and hugged her. "how i was there when they buried you."

ameyuri pointed to naruto and said. "naruto-kun here brought me back with his doujutsu. he gave me my second chance at life."

zabuza turned to naruto and gave him a bone crushing hug. "thank you for bringing neechan back i've missed her since she died."

naruto smiled. "it's cool but the best... way you could... thank me... is by... not crushing me... to death."

zabuza relised him and rubbed the back of his head. "sorry forgot your still a kid. so what are you guys doing here." they told him about the mission to protect the bridge builder. zabuza agreed to help kill gato as long as he could send his bounty to the rebel forces fighting agains yagura in the bloodline wars. the group agreed. anko sent kiba and saiya to the house with tazuna while she ameyuri kushina naruto zabuza and his partner haku who had come out of the trees took off to gato's compound.

it took about an hour to get there. when they arived at the compound haku incased the entire area in ice mirors so she could gather up any stragalers. the group jumped into action. naruto took out most of the bandits while the more expirience shinobi took out some c-rank missing ninja. things were going well until they met a man from kiri. that man was none other than utakata the jinjuriki of the rokubi saiken.

when naruto recognized he smiled. "so utakata i see your doing well. l am naruto the jinjuriki of the kyuubi aka kurama. would you mind moving aside so we can kill him." utakata nodded remembering that mei had asigned him to watch out for zabuza while they were out so might as well let him kill that basterd gato. when they arived in the room they saw gato hiding under his desk with kunai in hand. naruto luaghed seeing him cower after what he did to this country. he cut off his head and tossed it to zabuza who sealed it in the scroll he was gonna seal tanzuna's head into.

naruto had some clones round up gato's possesions. when he was done he walked up to utakata and asked. "utakata would you mind showing me your seal." he nodded and droped his right sleeve revealing the seal on his shoulder. naruto placed his hand on the seal and both of them went into a trance like state.

inside the seal.

naruto utakata and kurama all looked around to see that they were in a cave. the three of them spotted a man with long white hair in a blue kimono playing a flute. kurama yelled out. "yo saiken over here."

saiken looked up from his flute and saw his container aswell as kurama and another male standing a short distance from him. he walked over to the three and asked. "kurama to what do i owe the plesure."

"saiken this is my container naruto he is my canidate for king of the damned. so we need your vote what will it take."

saiken thought wanting to be more civilized then the other bijuu. "can you play an instrument."

naruto nodded. "i play the violin and the guitar."

saiken nodded. "then play me a classic song if i find it satisfactory then i shall give you my vote." naruto nodded and pulled his violin out of his seal on his arm. he then began to play his best classic piece phathoms. when he finished saiken clapped. "that was excelent. i thought the art of music was lost on you shinobi you give me hope for the future. hold out your hand." naruto did as he was told and saiken grabbed it relinquishing one of his tails. "i see you have three now. once you have the five you require us bijuu will be freed so that we can reform our dominan over the demon world. so for now goodbye." naruto nodded and they left the seal.

back outside.

naruto exited the seal and thanked utakata. zabuza then placed a hand on his shoulder. when he turned around zabuza asked. "naruto i have a favor to ask. now that we have the funds we needed we must return to kiri. however i would like to leave haku in your care as it is to dangerous for a bloodline user there right now,"

naruto smiled. "sure she'll be safe in konoha until you return." zabuza nodded and thanked naruto. he and utakata then left for home.

one week later the bridge was finished and the team left home with haku in tow, it took a little while for them to reach konoha but not as long as when they had a civilian with them. when they reached the gates they flashed their papers and went straight to the hokage tower.

when they arived they gave their mission report and hiruzen made an anouncement. "good job team anko now you will be staying in the village becuase in one month we will be holding the chunin exams and nominated all three of you to take them. now go home and train for now."

the team nodded and left to prepare for the exams. each decided to train on their own. but still meet up on weekends to keep in touch over the month.

im gonna skip the first part of the exams since we all know how that ends
