Back again for another chapter, In this chapter I will answer some of the questions posed by reviews, But first my major answer is Hinata will not suddenly be as powerful as Naruto I will explain it in the chapter, but her training and growth will be a major part of the next few chapters, By the way I'm going to exercise Artistic Creativity and push the Chuunin Exam back by 6 months in order to provide character growth and introduce a important character that I forgot (Cough Konohamaru Cough).

Disclaimer: Naruto and Bleach aren't mine.

Edit: I've reworded some parts and made Haku a Girl, originally I had her as a male, but I've changed my mind in order to set something up. No it will not be a Harem.

Chapter 5: Zabuza's Appearance (Ice and Blade Repeat)

Kakashi, Naruto, Hinata, Kiba and Tazuna walked towards the Wave country as they were walking Kiba asked the question he had on his mind "Hey Naruto, I thought that the transfusion was supposed to make Hinata's Chakra levels and Stamina similar to yours but she isn't anywhere near your level why is that?" Kakashi and Hinata had wondered the same thing but didn't know how to ask.

Naruto shook his head and began to explain "Kiba, I a little worried that you asked that! But let me explain, Chakra has two levels the way I look at it they are. 1. The Maximum possible level which is unique to each person and doesn't change no matter how much training they have done for stamina and Chakra control, and 2. The maximum available level, This is the amount of Chakra that through training we have unlocked for use, The Maximum Available Level (MAL) cannot exceed the Maximum Possible Level (MPL)." when Kiba looked confused Naruto sighed and dumbed it down "Think of Hinata's Chakra like a muscle each muscle can be trained to become bigger and stronger as well as better at what it does, but only to a point, no human can lift ten tons with only one arm by muscle power alone, it's physically impossible. What my Kekkei Genkei did was increase how big Hinata's Chakra can become, she still has to train it to that point! But to rapidly increase her Chakra to the level where she approaches me would require permission from her father"

Kiba asked "Is it dangerous"

Naruto shook his head "No, It would involve a Ninjutsu and a great deal of time and patience."

Kakashi frowned... though his mask hid this "How would that work Naruto?" Hinata was curious as well

Naruto smiled "You all know how Chakra is trained normally, excepting you Tazuna-san but I don't want to explain it as the normal way is a Shinobi secret, But by having near-death experiences after awakening your Chakra it rapidly increases the amount you can use, Due to my... Upbringing I had a lot of near-death Experiences and my Chakra levels grew to the insane amounts I have now. The jutsu I'm talking about simulates a near death experience realistically enough to increase Chakra levels without posing a risk to the trainee, but in order to get Hinata's levels to my level she would have to spend over a week in this state which would be dangerous. So it would take two to three sessions involving a half-a-dozen days each to get her to my level, hence why I would need her father's permission, Okay?"

Kiba and Hinata nodded but Kakashi asked "You said she had the same... Visitor as you, Can Hinata use its power?" Hinata had been wondering about this too, Tazuna just sighed over the secrecy of what they were talking about.

Naruto shook his head "No, Hinata's Chakra level is too low to protect her from the backlash, so as the primary guardian I can cut the connection to the point where they can't talk or share power, when she's stronger she won't have a problem."

Kakashi nodded but then asked "How long would it take her to reach your level with normal training?"

Naruto thought it over and said "If she did it every second day, and to the levels her sister is currently training, 1 and a half maybe two years depending."

The other two teammates were shocked at this but realized that Naruto was telling the truth, they would have to take the long haul if they wanted to reach his level safely. Kiba wasn't too sure about that and would rather reach a great level and stay there, Hinata would have happily cut of her own right arm to impress Naruto, Luckily she knew he'd be disgusted by such antics, from his reactions to Sasuke's Fan girls that was rather obvious. So instead Hinata decided to make herself stronger as much as possible and catch Naruto's eye. Hinata then thought to ask something that had been bothering her "Naruto-kun, If your blood is so dangerous why did you use yours for the transfusion?"

Kakashi coughed and said "My blood type is O neg. and Kiba's is B, Naruto's the only one with the same blood type as you"

Hinata's jaw dropped and she said "You guys didn't know that Type O is universal no matter if it's positive or negative"

The other three ninja said "No" in perfect unison with wide eyes.

Hinata was confused "But they explained this is class?"

The three replied in perfect unison again "Slept through that lesson"

Hinata fainted from that display of laziness.

Naruto sighed "Great we made her faint" He then picked Hinata up and carried her bridal style.

Land of Waves. 2 Days later.

The reinforcements hadn't caught up with Team Kakashi by the time they got to the Wace country so the team was forced to go in by itself. After a tense boat ride during which they saw the bridge Tazuna was building, Naruto was impressed by the bridge and stared at it intently trying to figure out how it was constructed, then he shrugged and thought. I'll find out while defending Tazuna anyway, As they walked towards Tazuna's house after disembarking from the boat, Naruto flung his Kunai out suddenly at the bushes, The team discovered a white rabbit impaled on it which put Kiba and Naruto on alert as they explained "It's summer, yet the rabbit has still got white fur which means it was kept inside and breed for use in Substitution Jutsu"

After the explanation the other three members of the group were on their guard, Kakashi suddenly threw a Kunai in another direction at the same time as Naruto did, the team started scanning the forest around them when they heard a voice say "Copycat Ninja Kakashi, I'm not surprised that the demon brothers were defeated now that I know you were leading this team" The owner of the voice was sitting on a tree branch, he was heavily muscled and carried a giant sword on his back. He had a mask on his face that covered his mouth and nose, in his left hand he held a Kunai but the other one was buried in his right forearm, He noticed this and pulled the Kunai out and threw it to the ground after dropping the other Kunai.

Kakashi immediately went into an offensive stance and said "The Demon of the mists! Zabuza Momochi, One of the seven swordsmen."

Naruto stiffened at this, He'd read the Bingo Book in order to familiarize himself with the worst threats he might encounter on this mission, He also did so in order to fulfill his other objective given to him by Hiashi Hyūga which was to protect Hinata and Hanabi whenever he was on a mission with them, as well as prevent their Byakugans falling into the hands of other ninja. Zabuza then used a Jutsu to summon mists to cover the field. Kakashi warned them about his specialty of silent killing, after hearing that Naruto ordered Hinata to use her Byakugan. Meanwhile Naruto drew Hyōrinmaru and stood in a strange stance with the blade held horizontally in front of him while holding a hand to his face (1) and chants under his voice Uzumaki Style: Eyes of the Void and he opens his eyes which now have veins around them like Hinata's eyes in Byakugan but instead of being white his eyes are pitch black. Naruto then suddenly spins and stabs Zabuza in the leg when he tries to sneak attack from the center of their defense formation. Zabuza collapses into water revealing he was using Water Bunshin against them. Kakashi then reveals his left eye which turns out to be a Sharingan, Naruto, Hinata and Kiba wondered where he got it but knew this wasn't the time to ask.

Zabuza grinned under his mask "The famous Sharingan, Eh Kakashi your taking me seriously now"

Kakashi smiled under His mask "Of course, against you I have to give it my all or me and my students will pay the price"

Zabuza snorted "That blonde kid of yours has incredible sword skills if he managed to stab me, even if it was a clone, I also recognize the symbol on his chest, the Uzumaki clan, so that must be one of their famous Soul Swords! What I wouldn't give to wield one of those. Said to be living blades who commune with their masters and give them incredible powers, I am jealous of that."

Naruto smiles and nods at that then he says "If you weren't a missing nin I would be honored to have someone of your skills as a family member"

Zabuza grins under his mask "You don't know what a complement that is boy, I would enjoy having you as a family member as well, but instead we must fight as enemies"

Naruto holds Hyōrinmaru in front of him and says "Indeed, that is a pity, Let us fight and die as swordsmen then"

Zabuza laughs and jumps forward to strike at Naruto with his oversized sword, Naruto parries with Hyōrinmaru and then Kakashi jumps in to attack, Zabuza summons several Water clones before using a jutsu and trapping Kakashi in a sphere of water, Naruto dispatches the clones rapidly. During this battle Hinata and Kiba were hanging back and protecting Tazuna from harm. Naruto finishes the clones off and then strikes at the real Zabuza, Zabuza is forced to release the jutsu holding Kakashi. Kakashi then uses the Sharingan to get into Zabuza's mind and disable him, after several failed attempts to harm Kakashi Zabuza takes a defiant stand.

Zabuza shouts "Can that eye of yours see the future?"

Kakashi smiles and with a voice laced with malice replies "Yes, I see your future, and in it you DIE!" Kakashi is about to attack with his signature attack Chidori when Naruto jumps behind Zabuza and deflects several Senbon that were thrown at Zabuza. Haku Zabuza's ally watches in amazement as her plan to fake Zabuza's death is stopped by a single blade. Kakashi attacks but severely weakens the Chidori so he knocks Zabuza out instead of killing him. Haku is about to intervene again when Naruto knocks her unconscious having snuck behind her when she wasn't watching.

An Hour Later. Tsunami's House.

Naruto watches Zabuza as he awakens after being knocked out. Zabuza looks around noting that he is in a common house in the land of Waves, in front of him Naruto is watching him with a look that shows great curiosity. Behind Naruto he sees the girl with pale eyes holding a katana and looking at it intently, around her eyes the veins have bulged showing that she is using Dojutsu of some sort. Zabuza then mentally face palms himself when he realizes that she is a Hyūga and is using her Byakugan to study the blade. He looks back at Naruto and says "Well Uzumaki, Why aren't I dead?"

Naruto smirks and says "Because I have a question, Did you attack us on your own or were you being paid to do it?"

Zabuza laughs "Paid of course, But had I known you were an Uzumaki I would have stopped you just so we could spar with our blades."

Naruto looks like he's thinking then says "Another question, If I offer to spar with you on a regular basis would you consider abandoning Gato and helping us on our mission?" Behind him Kakashi hears this offer and thinks Naruto never ceases to surprise me, If Zabuza accepts Konoha might get a powerful swordsman and Naruto gets us some more powerful help on this mission. Now that I've got the message from the Hokage that it's become a SS-Class mission due to Gato hiring 3 Jounin S-class Missing Nins from villages that hate Konoha.

Zabuza blinked and then said "Kid, You got a deal, sparring with an Uzumaki is way more useful to me then Gato's dirty money, Maybe after this mission I could stay at Konoha and become a Shinobi with you guys, to be honest I've gotten bored of this life style and the reason I left my village doesn't apply anymore with the new Mizukage"

Kakashi smiles and says "I'm sure Konoha would accept you as a Shinobi" Naruto smiles as well, then walks over and undoes Zabuza's bindings Zabuza looks at him for a second then he hold out a hand, Naruto shakes the hand and they both smile.

Kakashi then says "It's at least a day before the reinforcements from Konoha arrive, and I'm still exhausted from using the Sharingan, maybe we should train, Kiba I know you need to learn more Chakra control, Naruto and Hinata have already done this training but perhaps there is something else they could do?"

Naruto nods "Now that Hinata has a Soul blade due to that incident, I can work with her to awaken it."

Zabuza looks at the girl Hinata holding the blade, realizing that she's somehow got a soul blade he says "Do you mind if I watch you two train?"

Naruto shakes his head "No, You Hinata" Hinata shakes her head as well.

Ten minutes later, A certain forest glade.

While Kiba attempts to walk up a tree behind them Naruto having spoken with Hyōrinmaru tells Hinata how to perform the Jinzen which will allow her to commune with the soul blade and awaken its power.

While Hinata was doing that Naruto was sparring with Zabuza who was happy to fight a skilled swordsman. Haku was quietly speaking with Kakashi. Hinata gave a little gasp and looked closely at her blade. Naruto stopped the spar and went over to her, He asked her "Did you find out your blade's name?"

Hinata nodded "Yes its..."

(1. Like Black*Star when he's using Trap Star on Sid [Soul Eater] sans chains)

For those who don't know Jinzen means Blade Zen or Sword Meditation and is how Zanpakutō are communed with in Bleach. It's when the Shinigami meditate with their blades. I hope you enjoy the Cliff-hanger by the way the Zanpakutō of Hinata isn't finalized yet, I'm still accepting ideas, But I will say it won't be Sode no Shirayuki, that's too cliché and worn out. I may start a new story or two in the next few days, but I'll wait until I've written two or three chapters before posting.

Cheers dragonsong2795, By the way if any of you read White Sun & Black Moon it's on Hiatus as I work up the enthusiasm to work on it.

A/N P.S Edit. I've decided to go with an OC Zanpakutō for Hinata, While the ideas for the original Bleach ones were good I think being creative might be the best answer. Also in the next Chapter I'm going to add a Cameo appearance of two Bleach characters. I'm still unsure whether or not I should add them in permanently as Ninja from Konoha and Other Hidden Villages. PM Me or Review if you have any questions. I will also answer why Naruto is so smart in the next chapter Thank you Ethyrin Kairos for asking that question. Also missourijack What exactly was a Dick move? I am unsure as to what you are referring. Could you please elaborate the question so I can give a proper answer to you. Finally should I add Omakes in? Yes or no? - dragonsong2795 8/3/13.
