Lord Pain: I'M BAAACK!!! Man I love that.
Naruto: Shut up Pain. Now what about the disclaimer and stuff?
Lord Pain: Stupid baka... (Briefly wonders if it's illegal to sell Naruto to Akatsuki...) Anyways here to give the Disclaimer today is...
(Suddenly a guy in all black with an orange mask jumps over kicking Naruto away to fly into the horizon, far far away...)
Tobi: Tobi will do it Pain-Sempai!
Lord Pain: ... Uhhh... Tobi... Your not supposed to be here yet... In fact... You've still got quite a few chapter's to wait... like... Ten at least...
(Tobi blinks and then raises his hand's up.)
Tobi: But Pain-Sempai!
(Lord Pain shivers and then sees Deidara trying to sneak away.)
Lord Pain: DEIDARA GET BACK HERE AND GET YOUR MASKED IDIOT AWAY FROM ME!!!
(Deidara screams and runs away. Lord Pain runs after him summoning Demon's to his aid.)
(Tobi blinks... Then looks at the audience and waves.)
Tobi: Pain-Sempai owns nothing from Naruto! That belongs to Kishimoto-Sempai! He only owns his OC's and their original Jutsu's! Did Tobi do good Zetsu Sempai!?
(A plant man with one half of his body white the other black pokes his head out of the ground and looks to the guy in the mask.)
Zetsu: Tobi is a Good boy... (Zetsu returns under ground and Tobi pump's his fist.)
Tobi: ALRIGHT!!!
(Tobi starts to do a silly dance as the rest of the Akatsuki arrive.)
Pein: Ugghhh, enough of this! Tobi no more dancing! Deidara get back here and stop him!
(Deidara runs away screaming with Lord Pain and Demons chasing him. Pein and the other member's of Akatsuki sweat drop...)
(Itachi then looks to the audience and bows.)
Itachi: And now on to the show...
Naruto Ultimate...

(Street's of Konohagakure...)
Naruto was walking down the street's with his arm's behind his head and a thoughtful look on his face. He was heading home from his first meeting with his new team, not to mention his first mission... Painting a fucking fence. "Man, why did the old man assign us such a stupid mission..." Naruto wondered aloud then stopped as he felt something... Something dark and disturbing.
Naruto turned around and saw threw the crowd of civilian's a single masked Ninja in black. This normally wouldn't be unusual but it was the fact that he had no head band and that NO ONE ELSE seemed to see him that was. He was wearing a baggy black suit, with black ANBU type armor on him, armor on his shoulder's and upper arm's, his right arm was strapped to his left shoulder, ANBU shin guards were on him, with a strange device attached to his right knee, black hip and waist armor, and he had a long black scarf. The bolt's in this armor were visible and were colored a rusty orange. His face was totally concealed in black leather band's with a small bit opened for his right eye, hidden by shadow's and an orange bolt holding the belt's together. His deathly pale and scarred skin was the only other thing visible on his left hand's finger's and his toes..
Naruto stared at the Nin not focusing on anything else besides the Ebony Nin. The Nin in black seemed to stare at him and Naruto fought to keep from running to catch him when he found some one's hand's over his eye's. "Hey Naruto, what are you looking at?" Kisara asked from behind him and Naruto slowly pulled her hand's from over his eye's only to see that the nin was gone... Not even the slightest hint of his presence was visible to Naruto any longer and that un-nerved him greatly...
"Nothing..." Naruto said distantly as he looked to that same spot Kisara following his gaze but holding a question in her eye's... What had Naruto so badly scared?
-----------------------------------------------N---------------------------------------------
(Later that night, Konohagakure No Sato rooftops...)
Crow stood on the roof of the hotel he and Naruto shared. He had his arms crossed and his eye's closed as two shadowed figure's appeared behind him. The pale teen smirked as he looked at one of them from across his shoulder. "What took you... I was beginning to think you were going to be as late as Kakashi..." He stated factly.
"I am sorry master... I should not have been late but was delayed upon seeing a cat in a tree..." The other figure said moving forward and bowing to Crow. He a mask made of leather band's that were covering his face with a small hole for his right eye and an orange bolt to hold the band's together tightly, the only visible skin he had was on his left hand's fingers and toes both of which were pale and horribly scarred. He wore black armor on his right arm that attached it to his left shoulder covering his hand from view, a black ANBU issue chest plate, black armor down his hip's, and more ANBU issue armor on his shin's, a black armored pad or maybe bracer on his right knee, black armored ninja sandals, black armor down his left shoulder and black ANBU wrist protector's on his left arm, all of the armor having orange bolt's in it giving him some color. He also had on a baggy totally black suit that covered every inch of his body, and a scarf around his neck and reaching down his back. The man wasn't very tall it would seem, however he also seemed to slouch ever so slightly making him appear shorter than he actually was.
"Never mind Sable. What have you brought to me?" Crow questioned and "Sable" simply moved his neck from side to side relieving some tension and making a popping sound.
"A mission from the land of Waves shall arrive soon Master... However it will be of much higher caliber than the client shall inform... I suggest I should accompany the team sent to protect them..." Sable explained then suggested and Crow hmmed moving one hand to his chin ever so slightly.
"... No Sable, we will both go. I'm going to make sure that Naruto and his new team get the mission. Now who do you know will be an enemy?" Crow said then questioned and Sable's head twitched slightly.
"One of the Seven Shinobi Swordsman and The demon of the Hidden Mist, Zabuza Momochi, his young ward Haku, and The Demon Brothers, Gozu and Meizu, as well as a man named Gato and his troop's of Nuke-Nin and mercs..." Sable reported and Crow smirked to himself slightly.
"Well... So Momo's there ehh... Alright I could use him on my side. Sable find Luna and bring her up to speed. We'll need her for this mission. Then I want you and her to stay out of sight until I need you. Stay close, but don't interfere unless it looks dire." Crow stated and Sable nodded once then slowly looked at him.
"Master... The Uzumaki boy you have had me protect... He... He saw me today... Felt my presence even..." The black clad nin said and Crow's eye's widened visibly at the implications...
"Are you sure Sable?" He demanded and his servant nodded his head once more. "Well now... So Naruto has a special bloodline after all..." He said to himself and his servant then seemed to take a confused posture that Crow immediately recognized. "Only a select few are able to see you, That armor your wearing is more than just a simple Fashion statement. The bolt's in it all produce waves that dull the senses of a normal person and make it so they see you, but you don't quite register in their mind. It was one of my uncle's more brilliant idea's I'll admit..." Crow said and Sable nodded his head once more.
"Should I discontinue to follow the Uzumaki boy, Master?" Sable questioned and Crow hmmed to himself once more deep in thought.
"No... I won't allow him to be hurt by these pathetic villager's ever again Sable... Even if you have to follow him more discreetly do so, keep him in view and never forget that his life is the only thing I value in this life..." Crow said and Sable nodded to his master then vanished into the shadow's.
"... And I have to survive... To live the life taken from my mother... I have to survive... No matter what the cost..." Crow said softly looking up and at the full moon and star's in the sky with a hint of sadness in his two-colored orbs...
-----------------------------------------------N---------------------------------------------
(Forested area...)
"How far away is the target?" Kakashi questioned into a headset he had on.
"Five meter's and closing. So... How much longer are we gonna wait?" Naruto said then questioned and Kakashi rolled his eye's wondering when Naruto would FINALLY drop the damn act... It was starting to get on his nerves...
"I'm in position." Came Sasuke's smooth voice and Sakura replied much the same. 'Now we meet again my old enemy. The Hokage may have his evil Paperwork to do battle with but you and me are fiercer enemy's than they ever will be...' Kakashi thought to himself. "GO!" He shouted as his three Genin attacked the target and Naruto grabbed him.
"GOTCHA!!!""MEEE-OOOW!!!" Naruto now had hold of a large cat that seemed to suddenly like to claw at him. Sakura was giggling as she watched while Naruto was screaming about how much he hated cat's.
"Remember our target has a ribbon on it's right ear that says Tora... Make sure it's the right one." Kakashi called over the headphone's and Sasuke looked at the ribbon and smirked as it said Tora on it. However he smirked cause Naruto was now holding the said cat in a Head lock with a near manic look in his eye's as Sakura then lunged to save their "Target" thus giving the Uchiha some decent entertainment...
"Target Confirmed..." Sasuke said still smirking and Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. "However you might want to end the mission... The dobe's got the cat in a Head Lock..." Sasuke stated and Kakashi blinked and chuckled to himself. 'That seems familiar... Oh right I tried to use a kunai to skin him...' Kakashi thought to himself then shook his head.
"Alright then. Operation Find Tora... Is accomplished." Kakashi said and looked to the sky seeing some cloud's passing by. 'Hopefully... Naruto won't kill the cat anytime soon... And if he does I hope he invites me and the rest of the Genin to Jounin of the village... We'd all enjoy that I'm sure...' Kakashi thought to himself with a hidden smirk...
--------------------
(Hokage's office...)
"OHHH Poor Tora... Poor little Kitty-kitty... I was so worried about you, I could have died." The Fire Daimyo's wife said while hugging the poor cat to her face the cat looking like it would rather be killed than be in her grasp.
"I almost feel sorry for him... Almost." Naruto said watching the exchange with multiple scratches on his face. 'With that to look forward to at home, can you really blame him for running away?' Sakura wondered to herself as she watched the old lady walk out of the office Tora trying desperately to escape his owner's grasp.
"Alright then... Now what will Team Seven's new assignment be..." Sarutobi questioned to himself and started to read aloud from the list of mission's. "Hmmm... To baby-sit for the council of elders... To run errands to the neighboring village... To help dig sweet potatoes..." Sarutobi smirked as he saw one of Naruto's eye's twitch and had to inwardly chuckle. 'Be glad Crow came to me about that Land of Waves Mission, I'll just let Naruto think I'm actually going to consider sending him on one of those Mission's...' The old Hokage thought hiding his smirk by reaching up to take hold of his pipe.
"NO WAY! NO THANK YOU! BO-ORING!" Naruto shouted crossing his arm's into an X. "GIVE US SOMETHING BETTER TO DO OLD MAN!" Naruto shouted pointing at the Hokage and his Teammate's inwardly agreed in Sasuke's case, thought he was stupid in Sakura's, and Kakashi just wondered if it was possible he was Obito's long lost son or something...
"Naruto don't be a fool! Your only a beginner!" Iruka shouted and Sarutobi pulled his hat down to shadow his eye's. "Everyone starts out doing Grunt work. It's ware you get experience, so you can work your way up to the bigger thing's!" Iruka told Naruto while nearly standing when the door to the Hokage's office opened and Crow walked in reading his Perverted orange book causing all of Team Seven, Kaklashi Included, to stare at him as he walked to stand before the Hokage.
"You sent for me, Lord Hokage?" He asked never looking up from his book and the Hokage nodded his head hiding a smile by taking a smoke from his pipe.
"Yes Crow. I wanted to know if you'd be willing to use your knowledge of the Land of Water to help an escort team reach the nearby Land of Waves quickly?" Sarutobi questioned and Crow looked over his book.
"Who am I going with?" He asked sounding somewhat uninterested.
"Well..." The Hokage started and Naruto jumped forward.
"Let us go Old man!" He stated quickly and Crow chuckled while Iruka growled.
"Naruto..." He growled and Sarutobi cleared his throat.
"Iruka, have Team Seven completed enough D-rank mission's to be able to go on a C-rank?" The Hokage questioned of the teacher who blinked then nodded his head. "Good. Then Team Seven shall be taking this Mission, Crow Kanji shall be advisor on terrain as he's from that area." Sarutobi said then looked to a nearby door. "Your mission is to protect a certain individual..." Sarutobi said then inwardly grinned as Naruto looked excited.
"Who is it? Some great Lord? Then Daimyo? A Princess?" Naruto rapidly questioned staying in his "Dobe" mask to hopefully keep Sasuke and Sakura from realizing he was actually much stronger and smarter than he seemed. 'But still... I'm kinda getting sick of the acting...' He thought to himself and Sarutobi saw the look in his eye's.
"You'll see Naruto. Please invite him in..." Sarutobi said and looked over to a nearby door as it then opened. At first all they could see was a man's hairy arm, a bottle of sake in hand, then it moved to show an old slightly balding fat man with a beard and mustache, a band tied around his head. He had a black shirt, a purple sash, with tan pants, and a pair of black sandal's.
"Whats going on here?" Came the man's slurred voice as he looked at Naruto and the other's taking a swig of his sake. "They look like a bunch of wet nosed brat's..." He said and exhaled. "Especially... The midget. He's got the face of a complete idiot..." The man said and Naruto blinked looking for the "Midget" as the man put it. "It's gotta be a joke your all nothing but a bunch of brat's... Not Ninja right?" The man asked and Naruto then frowned as he realized that with the Chakra Shell over him he LOOKED shorter than Sakura and Sasuke...
"I'LL KILL HIM!!!" Naruto shouted and Kakashi held Naruto back from attacking the old drunken man.
"Now Naruto, no killing the man paying you to protect him..." Kakashi said and Crow nodded his head slowly before giggling pervertedly and Kakashi looked at him then his book. "Is that the special edition of Icha Icha Fight?!" Kakashi then demanded slowly and Crow looked at him and nodded. It was instant, Kakashi was behind Crow Naruto all but forgoten and reading along with him, a hungry look in his eye. "I may not like it, but bring this book and I won't care if you can protect yourself or not..." He stated and Crow shrugged his shoulder's and the man then cleared his throat garnering the two masked Perverts attention.
"Now then. I am Tazuna a Bridge builder of ultimate renown... And until I am safely back in my home country, were I'll be completing my next bridge, You'll all be expected to protect me... Even at the cost of your lives..." Tazuna told Kakashi and his Team, Crow listening also and frowned as he knew this mission was well over a C rank.
"Alright then, We'll all meet by the gate tomorrow. Naruto be sure Crow is ready and if Crow's the one who wake's you up reverse that." Kakashi then said and walked out of the room leaving Team Seven to also leave while Crow remained.
"So then, Tazuna you might find it interesting that Crow is native to the Land of Water..." Sandaime said and Tazuna paled slightly. "I hope there isn't anything TOO dangerous out there for them to handle... After all... It IS only a C-Rank..." The Hokage said and Tazuna grinned although Crow easily could see sweat on his brow.
"Of course, I wouldn't dare try and fool anyone that could kill me horribly..." He said and the Hokage smiled inwardly knowing that the man was lying threw his teeth, and badly too... Crow meanwhile rolled his eye's at the blatant lie, glad that his goggles kept the motion from being seen.
"Well alright then. If that's all you needed Hokage Sama, I need to get home to make dinner..." Crow said and walked out of the room with a frown on his masked face. 'Naruto may not HAVE to show his skill's during the mission but it is almost assured with Haku and Zabuza both there... And if "I" show my skill's... The Devil of the Bloody Mist may return...' Crow thought to himself and subconsciously touched just under his left blood colored eye...
--------------------
(Flashback no Jutsu!)
A very young Crow stood before what looked like an older version of himself with TWO yellow snake like eye's and long straight hair that covered some of his face. The two were in an old lab, one that would make Victor Von Frankenstien Drool with envy. The tube's around the room held many thing's, hell, Crow saw a WOMANS form floating in a nearby tube her long hair obscuring any chance of seeing her face. Crow however continued to look to his Uncle who was standing before him with a dark look on his face.
He was wearing a totally black somewhat baggy outfit with a purple rope tied around his waist, a Konoha headband with a scratch threw it half covered by his hair, a ring on his left hand finger, and a pair of black shinobi sandals. But it was his eye's that were his most prominent feature, a golden yellow, with pupil's like slit's, the purple tribal tattoo's around them adding to his already imposing image.
"Uncle... Can you tell me why I'm... Different?" Crow asked innocently his two toned eye's looking up to the tall vision of his great uncle curiously. Orrochimaru chuckled despite himself at his "Students" innocent request, he almost smiled... Almost.
"Simple really Iyoku, Your father wanted you to be the perfect fighting machine... I took... Step's, to insure this..." Orrochimaru said and Crow tilted his head to the side.
"But... WHAT step's did you take? I want to know Sensei!" Crow pleaded then said and Orrochimaru felt a cruel smile come to his lip's.
"Very Well Iyoku, look into the mirror over there..." Orrochimaru stated and Crow did as told looking to his reflection quickly. "Now then Nephew... What do you see?" His uncle questioned of the boy who tilted his head slightly at the question. What he saw was an eight year old child starring back at him with large snake like eye's, one different than the other and purple tribal tattoo's like Orrochimaru. He saw pale skin like his uncle, and short sable black hair that framed his face and spiked backwards.
"I see... Me..." He said and Orrochimaru chuckled despite himself.
"No... You see my work Nephew..." Orrochimaru said and Crow looked to him confused and curious at the same time. "I am the reason your always in such pristine condition. I made that body your in... In fact I'm more of a father to you than that bastard who claims to have raised you..." Orrochimaru spat out his face turning into a look of rage.
However the look and his rage melted as he then kneeled down to Crow who still seemed lost and confused. Orrochimaru placed his large hand's on the young man's shoulder's and smirked at him. "Your muscle's are not like a normal person's Iyoku, their coils..." Orrochimaru said and Crow looked at his arm's. "Coils, like a spring, no lost energy from whenever you punch, kick, or jump, you always put the full force forward without even knowing it..." Orrochimaru said then touched his forehead with a finger. "Your bone's, twice as strong yet hollowed out to allow for less weight, they make you lighter and able to move faster, also allowing you to sustain injuries that would break any other man or child's bone's to pieces..." The Snake Master said to his Nephew and placed a hand over his head.
"Your Skull, thicker on the top to protect the work I have done with your mind, which is faster and able to process infinately more data than any other member of our clan my Nephew..." Orrochimaru said then pointed to his chest. "Your heart and lung's, both stronger and more durable than any other human, your rib's forming an internal armor around them..." He said and Crow placed a hand to his rib's and felt the smooth surface beneath it. "And last, like the serpent who shed's his skin, so shall you never have to deal with blemish's or any such thing, only the skin slithering off your body once a month... And over time, more of what I have made you into shall become apparent my nephew..." Orrochimaru told him and Crow blinked and motioned to his eye's.
"Then... Did you make my eye's different?" He asked and Orrochimaru raised a single brow into his hair. "Watch..." Crow said and closed his eye's, only to open them now blaring his Bloodline as Orrochimaru's eye's widened and a sick grin came to his face.
"No Iyoku, that is your own special gift... You will have to thank your mother for it..." Orrochimaru told Crow who nodded his head and smiled to his uncle.
"Sensei... If your more like my father... Can I call you Tou-san then?" He questioned and Orrochimaru blinked, genuinely surprised yet again by the boy.
"Maybe... But you father really wouldn't like that Iyoku, Sensei is fine for now..." Orrochimaru told the boy who pouted. "Aren't you... Disgusted with me for what I have done to you?" Orroshimaru asked genuinely intrigued and Crow shrugged his shoulder's.
"Why would I be? You've made me stronger, looked out for me since I was little, taught me how to fight, and protected me from my dad and those Bloodline hater's. Why in hell would I hate you Sensei?" Crow asked and Orrochimaru looked at him for a long while, amazed by the child before him, a child born of his own family. One that shared a link to him by blood rather than ambition...
(Flashback no Jutsu, Kai!)
--------------------
Crow shot up from his bed sweat on his body before he laid back down and placed a hand on his head... "What an idiot I was..." He mumbled to himself and looked at a nearby clock groaning when he saw how early it still was. "Damnit... I can't keep doing this to myself if I ever want to find him... To repay him for that day... For what he did to me in the end... To kill the memory of it, The Devil of the Hidden Mist..." Crow said to himself darkly an angry frown on his face. He then got up and walked to a window and opened it to let in some cool air, the young teen sighing in content as the cold wind blew into his face.
"Master?" Came a questioning tone from Sable who appeared behind Crow who blinked and then frowned.
"Don't you ever knock?" He asked and Sable then walked to the door and comically knocked on it making Crow frown once more. "Ha ha..." Crow said and could just hear a slight chuckle in Sable's throat. "Now why are you here Sable..." Crow ordered more than questioned and Sable Straightened ever so slightly before him.
"I have found Luna, we shall meet you in the land of Waves master... Until then please be careful..." Sable said then vanished and Crow sighed. He wondered why his father would do that to Sable and Luna, bring them back to life only to turn them into his slave's...
"I guess it runs in the family..." Crow muttered bitterly and turned back to his bed and slumped down into it closing his eye's and trying to find even a fitful amount of sleep...
-------------------
(Morning, Village Gates...)
"ALRIGHT! ROAD TRIP!!!" Naruto shouted as he and Crow reached the gate both having back pack on like the other's who were waiting for them. The only other difference with Crow today was that he was now wearing his Slashed Mist Headband rather than his mother's Hebungakure Headband. Kakashi was amazingly on time today so Naruto wondered if he was only late when it would get a rise out of Sakura or something... Yet Naruto froze as he felt the black clad Ninja's presence only for it to vanish once more. 'Man that's soooooo, creepy... I've faced Crow in battle and it doesn't freak me out this bad...' Naruto thought with a gulp as he then started to look around acting like he was really excited. "This will be my first time outside of the village!" He said happily and Sasuke rolled his eye's. "I wonder if they'll have Ramen in the land of waves?" Naruto questioned and Crow nearly bust out laughing as Sakura looked at him incredulously.
"Your kidding... Right?" She asked and Naruto blinked.
"No... Why?" He questioned and Kakashi was becoming more and more aware that Naruto's "Dobe" personality was nothing more than a facade... A good one but a Facade none the less...
"Because Naruto, we should probably be wondering if any bandit's try and jump us, not what our next meal will be..." Kakashi stated and Naruto shrugged his shoulder's.
"Am I really expected to put my life on the shoulder's of this kid?" Tazuna asked looking to Kakashi with a hat on his head to keep the sun out of his eye's and off his head.
"Don't worry, I'm an Elite Jounin..." Kakashi said and Naruto growled glaring at Tazuna while Crow finally put his book away and lifted his goggles up to wipe away some dust.
"We need to move, Distraction's at this point will only serve to hinder your ability to protect myself and Tazuna. And while I can and will fight if I feel I or Naruto are threatened do not hesitate to protect Tazuna..." Crow said making it sound like he was more important that Tazuna who glared at him and Naruto snickered.
"Anyways, it is time to go so c'mon." Kakashi said and Naruto shrugged and walked in front of them all and Crow sighed before following him and Sasuke hmmed something feeling strange in the air for the Uchiha. As the group walked Sakura asked Tazuna if his Country had a ninja village like Konoha. Kakashi then explained that it didn't and only a few country's actually had one. Crow and Naruto both tuned him out and Crow sniffed the air and inwardly groaned as he smelled the familiar, if not somewhat different, scent of Gozu and Meizu... The Demon Brother's and some of Zabuza Momochi's henchmen...
Kakashi however noticed a nearby puddle but kept quiet about the fact it hadn't rain for week's already aware of the trap. Naruto also noticed however and was looking to Crow who sighed and cracked his knuckle's. "You know what Otouto... I really hate it when Mist Ninja hide like coward's..." He then said and every one stopped.
"Whys that Nii-san?" Naruto asked as Crow then lifted his goggles to rest on his forehead protector and turned towards the puddle.
"Because... It always makes me itch..." He said and before he could say anymore two form's jumped out of the water one flinging the other towards Kakashi while Crow lazily closed his eye's and made a single hand seal. The two nin then ripped Kakashi apart and went after Crow only for him to open his eye's. "Blood Cross Eye, Second Release: Deconstruction..." He said darkly his arm's both surrounded by red chakra as the two flung their chained weapon's at him.
Crow lazily lifted his arm's however grasping the chain's and they instantly disintegrated into dust. Both the Demon Brother's eye's shot wide open at the sight as Naruto and Sasuke then attacked. Sasuke quickly flung a couple of Shurikan at the two scattering them as the one in the cloak was grabbed by Crow, one glowing hand at his throat. "I'd seriously suggest not moving unless you want to be a stain..." Crow said darkly and the man's eye's widened in fear of ending up like his chain. The other brother was having to deal with Naruto who used the Head Hunter Jutsu and pulled him underground only for him to vanish having been a log.
Crow blinked then jumped with the cloaked brother still in hand over an attack from behind by the brother with the Two horned forehead protector. "Nah nah nah..." Crow said moving one finger back and forth while it continued to glow with a crimson power. "It's not nice to attack someone from behind Meizu..." Crow said darkly and Meizu's eye's widened as the boy seemed to know him and he only JUST noticed the slashed Mist Village forehead protector...
Before Meizu could do anything Kakashi came and knocked the Mist Nin out, leaving Crow to do likewise with Gozu. "Well... Crow... You certainly managed to scare those two... Almost like they knew who you were..." Kakashi said suspiciously and Crow shrugged and walked off pulling his goggles back down over his eye's and walked back down the path to go over to Naruto leaving the silver haired Jounin to interigate the two and maby learn something about Crow.
"Nii-san, what are you doing?" Naruto questioned of his brother who grinned evilly.
"I haven't had a good fight in nearly seven year's Naruto. Sparring with you kid's only gets me so much excitement after all..." Crow said and chuckled darkly making even Naruto shiver. "I've... Missed the thrill of a good fight is all..." Crow said shaking and walking to stand in the shade his heart pounding and instinct's going nut's. 'Hinata... I'm starting to think your right... Crow REALY has problem's...' Naruto thought to himself while looking at his brother who then shook his head and pulled out his orange book. 'Ugh... I miss Psycho Crow already...' Naruto thought, lamenting the loss of the cool serious Crow as he returned to his perverted way's.
"Mr. Tazuna..." Kakashi suddenly said after tying up Gozu and Meizu to a tree not seeing them both glancing at Crow fearfully.
"Wha... What is it?" Tazuna asked nervously as Kakashi looked at him calmly.
"Our attackers appear to be Chunin level Ninja of Kirigakure... They are Shinobi renowned for their willingness to fight on until their goal is achieved, even at the cost of their own lives..." Kakashi explained and Tazuna gulped audibly. "Obviously, these two were watching and waiting for us... The question Mr. Tazuna, is why would they attack us when there is no one here they would be interested in attacking..." Kakashi said with his eye's narrowed onto Tazuna. "After all, there has been no word of enemy Shinobi seeking to take your life... The mission you gave us was to escort you home and protect you from Bandit's..." Kakashi said Tazuna looking pale as the Ninja stared at him with his one black eye.
"It is quite clear what is happening here Kakashi-San..." Came Crow's voice and the Jounin looked to the young teen who was putting his book up at the moment. "Even if I rarely leave your village, I am not technically a member of the Hidden Leaf or any other, Ninja or otherwise. Thus I can leave Konoha as much as I want and I'm classified as a wanderer... So I know a lot about these type's of situation's really..." Crow stated turning with his arm's crossed over his chest. "Tazuna is from the land of waves, and from my personal experience that is a small fishing and trade village on the outskirt's of the land of Water. Recently it was completely taken over by a ruthless tyrant, a man named Gato..." Crow stated and Kakashi raised a brow.
"You mean Gato! As in Gato Shipping and Transport? THE Gato? They say he's the richest man in the world!" Kakashi said with one wide eye as Tazuna looked to the ground.
"Yes the same. He's not as clean as most would think however. Gato is a ruthless man Kakashi, he will stoop to any low he can to get what he wants. He's already hired numerous teams of Ninja and uses them to take over villages. He buys out the company's, then the Feudal lord's and soon he's running entire country's..." Crow said and then took a thoughtful look walking over to Tazuna while he did. "In fact... If I'm not mistaken Mr. Tazuna, one year ago he took over your land of waves. But with you building a bridge to the mainland he began to get nervous, he doesn't want any of you to have way's to transport your own goods to make money that he can't call his own... Am I right?" Crow questioned looking at Tazuna who nodded his head mutely.
"I see... And as the Architect of the bridge and overseer of it's construction... You Mister Tazuna are very much in his way." Sakura deduced a hand on her chin and Sasuke then decided to point out the obvious.
"That means... Those Ninja who attacked were after Tazuna, and were working for Gato..." Naruto outwardly seemed a little lost, but inside his mind's gear's were turning around trying to see what was really going on. He figured the Gato connection pretty quickly in his Brother's little explanation, but HOW his brother could know all that was a little unnerving. Crow said he wasn't a part of the village and that was true, he never registered so he didn't need permission to leave so long as he didn't know any village secrets. Being a Civilian meant he had no access to those Secrets without foul play and seeing as he never went after said secrets that meant that Crow could leave as much as he wanted.
However, Crow had NEVER left Konoha in all the year's he's stayed with Naruto... Which meant that Crow had some kind of Spy outside of Konoha who was watching the other Ninja village's and their activity somehow... Naruto really wanted to know how Crow was able to do that but would ask later when they were in private... "Hmmm... But if you knew you'd be the target of a ruthless thug with Ninja at his disposal Tazuna, why didn't you tell us when you asked for our help?" Kakashi questioned of the older man who sighed.
"The Land of Waves isn't really a prosperous country. Even our local lord's are poor... And... I have no money at all... An elite B-ranked Body guard would be too much for me to afford..." The old man explained looking down at the ground as he did his hat covering his eye's. "But if you all turn away from me now... Then I'm as good as dead..." Kakashi listened to him and Crow snickered to the side as he could already feel it coming. 'He he... Guilt trip time...' He thought to himself with an evil smirk on his face beneath the mask he wore. "But..." Tazuna said then looked up grinning widely. "But oh well! That's not your concern! You won't be there to see my daughter and ten-year old grandson cry all day like their heart's are braking!" Tazuna said loudly and Crow was tearing in the eye trying to hold back laughter as he watched the odd looks on all of Team Seven's face's. "Oh! And you won't mind if my daughter vows eternal hatred of all the ninjas of your village as she lives her life alone! Hell! Well, it's not your fault!" Tazuna said and Crow couldn't take any more as he fell down laughing like a maniac holding his side's from the pain.
"Oh god... Ha ha ha... Stop... Just stop... Ha ha ha ha ha... Your killing me please stop!" Crow tried to form a coherent sentence but instead fell into a bout of uncontrollable laughter at the way Tazuna piled on the guilt.
'What is with this Kid?' Tazuna wondered looking at the masked boy.
'Ugh... How is that funny... I feel bad...' Naruto wondered to himself.
'What the hell does Ino SEE in this guy!?' Sakura wondered to herself as Crow was STILL laughing up a storm.
'I'll never understand this guy... Might as well not even try too...' Sasuke thought to himself and promptly ignored Crow completely.
'Ahhhh... A true master... At the ancient Art of making a sob story...' Crow thought to himself still holding his rib's from the fit of laughter he couldn't seem to get over.
"Right... Well... We might as well continue to protect you... At least until you reach your village..." Kakashi said and Tazuna inwardly grinned. 'Gotcha...' Tazuna thought to himself as Crow was trying and failing miserably to manage to get back to his feet. Naruto however simply walked over to his brother and offered him a hand. The masked boy took the offered hand and help getting back to his feet and still laughing as they walked past Tazuna Naruto shaking his head as he looked at his estranged brother.
'Nii-san's sense of humor REALY needs some work...' He thought to himself as he heard his Team walking back on the trail and their mission...
-------------------
As they finally reached the outskirt's of the land of Waves Naruto returned to "Acting" like a "Dobe". Crow was reading his book with Kakashi and Tazuna looking over his shoulder's... After all they wanted to see the extended scenes...
As they walked Naruto looked around then grinned and tossed a shurikan into the brush while shouting. "OVER THERE!!" Everyone looked at Naruto strangely as a hushed silence overtook them... "I... Uh, guess it was only a mouse." He said while trying to look cool and Sakura growled glaring at the blond.
"WHAT MOUSE? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? THER WAS NOTHING, THERE YOU MORRON!!" Sakura shouted at the blond who cleaned out one ear almost positive that she busted his eardrum...
"Please... Please don't play around with your Shurikan. They can be just a teensy bit dangerous..." Kakashi pleaded to Naruto wondering why he was over acting with the Dobe thing so much...
"HEY! MIDGGET!! DON'T GO SCARING US! STOP MESSING WITH OUR HEADS!!" Tazuna shouted and only Sasuke and Crow seemed to be unaffected by the outburst, save the fact Sasuke looked more annoyed than usual. Naruto didn't seem to be listening however as he looked from side to side quickly.
"Hmf... I think I might have seen someone!" He stated and both Kakashi and Crow heard a rustling nearby. "This time over there!" Naruto shouted tossing another Shurikan but had a real target this time. Sakura immediately ran over and punched Naruto in the face Crow wincing as she did.
"I TOLD YOU TO QUIT IT!!" She shouted and Naruto fell to the ground rubbing his throbbing jaw. He then got up and rubbed the back of his head as she glared at him with an utter loathing. 'Sheese, can't she take a break from hitting me for one day? I mean if this keeps up I'm gonna think she's a Sadist or something...' Naruto thought to himself as he then said to her.
"I swear! There was someone in there after us!" Sakura growled and then told Naruto still using her "Banshee Scream no Jutsu".
"You are such a LIAR!" Meanwhile Kakashi was moving over to ware Naruto threw the Shurikan, Crow behind him. As soon as Crow saw the now flinching white Rabbit his eye's widened and he put his book up. "NARUTO NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!" Sakura shouted seeing the Rabbit and Crow wondered when she got there...
"It was an accident! Snap out of it, Bunny! Please!" Naruto said when he saw the Rabbit and took the Shurikan back, also trying to make the Rabbit stop shaking and look like it had just died when he barely grazed it's head.
"It's just a Rabbit..." Tazuna said to the young nin while Crow reached into one of the pocket's inside his vest and pulled out a scroll. 'A snow hare... I only know one reason one of those would be in this area of Water Country... Only one Nin I know of has a thing for Snow Hare's... Haku... And ware Haku is, Zabuza is not far behind...' Just as Crow finished his internal monologue a large spinning weapon came at them and Kakashi quickly ordered his team to take cover. They did so with Sakura jumping on Naruto to get him down and Crow only crouched the bladed weapon only taking a small portion of his hair off.
The bladed weapon lodged itself into a nearby tree, nearly cutting the tree in half as a man appeared standing on the handle of the weapon. "Well, well, well... What do we have here..." The man questioned with a deep voice. He was a tall man, and muscular, with a black leather strap around his upper body in a Y shape, striped pants, cow skin arm and leg warmer's, black shinobi sandals, bandage's around his face, his Hittai-ate tilted to the side slightly and black hair. The man appeared to not have eyebrow's and was looking over his shoulder, directly as Kakashi and Crow.
"Hey Zabuza, long time no see..." Crow said coldly while removing his goggles, he then looked to Naruto who raised a brow. "Hold these for me Otouto..." He stated simply tossing the black orange tinted goggles to Naruto who blinked as Crow then walked forward towards "Zabuza". The man himself chuckled darkly as he saw the boy and then looked at Kakashi who was frowning under his mask.
"You know him Crow?" Kakashi questioned of the masked boy but it was Zabuza who answered.
"No Kakashi Hatake, the question is do you know who that is you've got with you?" Zabuza stated and Kakashi raised a brow as the Mist Nin then laughed to himself. "Iyoku, what the hell are you doing with these Leaf idiot's? As a member of the Seven Shinobi Swordsman you could have come to me for aid..." Zabuza said and Kakashi's eye's shot wide open as he then looked to Crow who sighed.
"First off Momo, I never quite made it to Shinobi Swordsman if I never was a Shinobi..." Crow said flatly as Zabuza growled.
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU, AND YOUR GOD DAMMED WHORE OF A SISTER NOT TO CALL ME THAT ANYMORE!!" Zabuza screamed angrily at Crow who shrugged his shoulder's dismissively totally ignoring the outburst from the larger nin.
"Second, I'm not a tool, last guy who tried to make me into one, lost his life as you know... Third, There were only SEVEN shinobi swordsman, I would have been Eight ya' eyebrowless nit-wit..." Crow stated and Zabuza frowned under the bandages on his face. "Lastly Zabuza Momochi, Demon of the Hidden Mist... Is that you should know, that you don't fight or pick on, The Devil of the Hidden Mist, without having a Death wish in mind..." Crow said lowly as he unraveled his scroll and used his claw's to prick his thumb smearing the blood along the kanji of the scroll and instantly two sheath's with blade's appeared from it and Zabuza's eye's widened.
The first blade was of normal length being only about three foot, but was at least a foot thick, the blade was also serrated and black with a blue tint to the edge and the designs along the blade that resembles ice, the handle appeared to be made of bone and was white with black leather around the handle, the hilt curved over one side and spiked into an ice like shape on the other, a blue strip of cloth was tied to the end of the handle making it look like it had a pair of tail's.
The second blade was at least four feet long, with a red blade the edge of it being white, the hilt was golden and shaped like a pair of phoenix wing's, a red cats eye jewel in-between them, the handle was wrapped with blood red leather, at the bottom of the blade a long whip like extension was tipped off with a small dagger like extension. The two sword's were sheathed in leather, allowing their blade's to be seen but stay securely to the leather strap's holding them. Crow then threw off his backpack it landing with a thud to the side an pulled the sword's on clasping them together at his chest.
"Hold on Crow, I'll handle this, you help Naruto and the other's protect the old man." Kakashi stated holding an arm in front of Crow who's eye flinched but he nodded his head anyway. "I know you probably have a better idea of how Zabuza fights, you might even have the skill to fight him toe to toe, but your under my protection at the moment... I'll handle Zabuza..." Kakashi told him and Crow turned his back to Kakashi and Sakura gasped seeing the look in his eye's.
The look was that of a cold blooded killer, they held no compassion or warmth at all, in fact... Sakura could swear she saw her own death while looking in the eye's of Crow. "Know now Kakashi... Should you fail to defeat Zabuza in at the least fifteen minute's... I will not be able to control myself any longer... It's been to long since I last had a decent challenge of my skill with a blade..." With that Crow walked back towards Tazuna kicking his bag back up before catching it as Sasuke felt the fear that Sakura was already experiencing. 'What is with this guy... One minute I see a moron, the next I'm fearing for my life with just a look from him... What kind of power does that... And ware did he get it?' Sasuke wondered as Crow passed him and stood next to Naruto who looked at his brother from the side to see his eye's and flinched.
'Yep... Nii-san has the same "Evil Eye" trick as Orrochimaru that's for sure...' He thought to himself with a shiver and then turned back to watch as Zabuza looked at Kakashi a slight annoyance on the other nin's face. "That wasn't very wise Kakashi... No one order's around The Devil of the Hidden Mist... Heh-heh, At least not for long that is... And your going to find out why soon enough..." Zabuza stated and then watched as Kakashi lifted up his left hand to his Hittai-ate.
"Well then... I'd best beat you quickly then... And if that's the case I should fight you... Like this..." Kakashi said coldly and Zabuza smirked under the bandage's of his mouth.
"Ahhh... So your name's Kakashi... Kakashi of the Sharringan Eye I presume?" Zabuza questioned looking at the one eyed Jounin before a crazy look entered his eye. "If it wouldn't be too much trouble... Could you hand over the old man?" Zabuza questioned not even caring to look at the confused and shocked expression's on all but Crow and Naruto's faces.
"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Assume the Manji formation! Protect Mister Tazuna..." Kakashi said while slowly lifting the Hittai-ate away from his left eye. "That's the kind of teamwork that this situation demands. Even if Crow at some point intervenes, STAY AWAY..." Kakashi ordered to his team as he pulled the Hittai-ate up to his forehead to reveal a red eye with three Comma mark's in a circle, a scar running up and down the skin of his eye. "Now then Zabuza... Shall we?" Kakashi questioned and Zabuza chuckled to himself.
"Ah... To face the legendary Sharringan Eye so early on in our first meeting... This IS an honor..." Zabuza said and Sakura looked lost.
"What's a... Sharringan?" She wondered and Sasuke answered for her.
"... Shinobi who have the Sharingan Eye... Have mastered a form of Jutsu for the eye, a Doujutsu. It enables them to see threw any illusion or spell, and reflect the illusion or spell back at the original caster..." Sasuke said then narrowed his eye's on Kakashi. "And... There's more..." He stated and Sakura blinked.
"Like what?" She asked him and instead Zabuza answered for the Uchiha boy.
"Heh-heh... Exactly, there is INDEED more..." He said then chuckled slightly. "The Sharingan's most formidable power is not to reflect Illusion's, but to acutely Annalise and then copy another's jutsu..." Zabuza said and then looked at Kakashi. "When I was in the Kirigakure Assassin's core... I posesed the usual bingo book, A kind of... Who's who of our enemies. It had quite the extensive write up on you..." Zabuza said while crouching down slightly placing a hand on one knee and the other hand on his sword's handle. "The man who penetrated and copied over a thousand Jutsu... Kakashi Hatake, the Mirror Ninja..." Zabuza said darkly as he and Kakashi both glared at one another.
'But... He's just Master Kakashi... He and old man Hokage are just...' Sakura thought to herself then Inner Sakura exclaimed loudly. "CHA! ARE THEY REALY THAT AMAZING!!!" Sakura for once agreed with her inner self's inquiry as Sasuke simply looked at Kakashi strangely from the side.
"... But... Does it mean..." Sasuke's feature's then hardened as he fixed his coal black eye's directly on Kakashi. '... The Sharingan Eye is... Supposed to be unique to only a small number of the Uchiha Clan. Could he be...?' Sasuke wondered to himself but Zabuza interrupted his thought's.
"Enough. Pleasant as this Conversation has been... The time for talk is over. I'm on a very tight schedule to polish off the old man." Zabuza said and Team seven surrounded Tazuna taking out a Kunai each, Crow not even budging an inch from his spot with his back to Kakashi and Zabuza. "But Kakashi... It looks like I'll have to kill you first..." Zabuza stated darkly before kicking off the side of the tree with his Zanbato and vanishing into thin air.
Zabuza then reappeared with one hand in the air and one in front of him, and seemingly standing on water. "Over there!" Naruto shouted after spotting the Hidden Mist Missing Nin.
"Is he... Walking on Water!?" Demanded a shocked Sakura as Kakashi narrowed his eye's. 'Clever bastard... He's built up... A pretty fair concentration of Chakra.' Kakashi thought to himself.
"Now then... We begin... Kirirgakure no Jutsu..." Zabuza said darkly while vanishing into a thick mist that appeared from behind him.
"He's gone!" Exclaimed the pink haired Kunoichi stating the obvious to the other's once more as a thick fog rolled in covering them all and Crow chuckled to himself as it did. 'Kakashi probably thinks Zabuza will go after him first... No, he already knows you think that Kakashi... In order to fight an enemy like Zabuza you can't think like you normally would... He gets inside another person's head by analyzing the situation at hand and doing the opposite of what you'd expect...' Crow thought to himself as Zabuza's voice came from the mist's.
"There are eight target's..." He said darkly yet invisible to the nin.
"Wha... What was that!?" Sakura asked looking around for the mist nin hiding in the shadow's, or in this case mist.
"Throat, Spinal Collum, Lungs, Liver, The Jugular Vein, The Subclavian Artery, Kidney, Heart!" Zabuza called out from the mist's as Naruto looked around himself. 'This is an old tactic that Crow said most mist assassin's used. They would fool other's into making a move or to kill themselves by scaring them... This guy's pretty good I'll admit but nothing like Crow when he wants to be REALY scary...' Naruto's thought's ended as Zabuza spoke once more. "... So many choices what vital, vulnerable place shall I choose? Heh-heh..." With that a massive Blood lust and Killing intent rolled over the area and the Genin minus Naruto all froze up. 'Zabuza just unleashed some massive KI... Fortunately for me, Crow's unleashed more than this over a dozen time's so I, Ino, and Hinata could get used to it...' Naruto thought with a small smirk then saw Sasuke looking more than just a little frightened at the moment.
'This terrible Blood thirst... If I draw his attention by even blinking, He'll kill me! I can feel it! I can't stay like this for long! Or I'm sure I'll go Insane!' Sasuke thought to himself sweating profusely and shaking like a leaf. 'A master Ninja, determined to make a kill... Knowing my life is in his hands... I HATE IT! You start wanting to die just to end the suspense...' Sasuke thought to himself eye's wide and tightening his grip on the kunai he had in hand.
"Sasuke!" Kakashi said forcefully snapping Sasuke out of his thought's. "Calm down. Even if he gets me, I'll still protect you." Kakashi said to the wide eyed Uchiha boy and his teammate's. "I will... Never let my comrades die!!" He stated with his eye's forming upside down U's. Sasuke visibly relaxed at that and Sakura blushed slightly...
"I wouldn't bet on that..." Came Zabuza's voice from the dark as he appeared in between Team Seven and Tazuna. "Game Over." Zabuza growled and swung his massive Zanbato Kakashi moving at lightning fast speed's to stop the blade and stab Zabuza in the rib's the other's all being knocked away. "Eh?" Zabuza questioned as Team Seven and Tazuna all looked at the "Bleeding" Zabuza only for another one too appear behind Kakashi.
"LOOK OUT SENSEI! BEHIND YOU!!" Naruto shouted and Kakashi's eye's widened as the large Zanbato was swung at him seeming to slice him in half making Sakura scream. However it turned into water at the last Second and Zabuza's eye's widened. 'A water Clone! He was able to copy me in this mist!?' Were Zabuza's thought and if anyone would have looked at Crow, they would see that his eye's were also wide and looking over his shoulder to the fight.
'Incredible! He managed to copy Momo, and in this thick mist no less! Simply amazing Kakashi! You do your name proud!' Crow thought to himself as Kakashi appeared behind Zabuza with a Kunai to the Mist nin's neck.
"Don't move... Game Over..." Kakashi stated with a cool tone.
"Awesome!" Naruto exclaimed as Sakura nodded quickly. Sasuke begrudgingly agreeing, however not voicing this opinion to anyone present.
"Heh-heh... Not bad..." Zabuza said in a low tone. "But were not threw yet..." He stated and Kakashi's eye's widened. "It will take more to defeat me than you mimicking me like an ape... Alot more..." Came the factly statement to Kakashi. "Heh-heh... But you are good... In the short time it took you to calm that kid down... You duplicated my "Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu"..." Zabuza said while looking at Kakashi out of the corner of his eye. "And by making that clone say something you normally would, you ensured my focus would be solely on it... While you yourself used the Hidden Mist Jutsu to hide and watch my every move..." Kakashi was silent as Zabuza spoke. "Too bad for you..." Zabuza said and somehow a second one appeared behind the jounin. "I am not that easy to fool!" With that the Zabuza in front of Kakashi turned to water leaving him open to attack.
"Zabuza was a Water clone too?!" Naruto questioned amazed as Kakashi quickly looked behind himself. Zabuza swung his Zanbato but Kakashi ducked low to the ground evading the attack and saving his head. Zabuza then went with his movement and his massive blade dug into the ground, he released it while placing one hand on the bottom of the handle. He then used his momentum to spin around and kick Kakashi sending him flying.
"And now..." Zabuza said quickly taking hold of his Zanbato only to skid to a stop when he saw some caltrop's before him. "Foolishness!" Zabuza growled teleporting to the water ware Kakashi landed.
"Sensei!" Naruto shouted as he saw him land under water. 'Did master Kakashi... Really get kicked that far?!' Sakura wondered to herself as Sasuke inwardly frowned. 'This guy's physical technique's are fantastic!!' With that thought Sasuke heard something and looked out of the corner of his eye to see silver chakra swirling around Crow who was shaking. 'Wha-what the hell!?! Visible Chakra!? What's going on! Who is this guy anyway!? And how did he get so much power!?' Sasuke wondered angrily to himself as Crow then chuckled darkly.
'This water... Why is it so heavy?' Kakashi questioned in his own mind as Zabuza appeared behind him performing several hand seal's. "Gullible fool..." He said as Kakashi's eye's widened. Suirou no Jutsu! DAMN!!' He thought to himself turning a wide eye to see Zabuza put his hand in the water capturing the Jounin. 'I thought I could go under water and regroup, it was a tactical error!' Kakashi thought to himself as Zabuza chuckled darkly.
"Heh-heh-heh, this Water Prison Jutsu is inescapable... Your Trapped Kakashi..." Zabuza said darkly before making a one handed seal. "You running around makes it too hard for me to do my job... I'll finish you after I get rid of the other's... "Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu!" Zabuza said while creating yet another Water Clone Kakashi's eye's nearly bugging out of their socket's.
'Too bad Kakashi... Looks like I get to have my fun after all...' Crow thought to himself as he then turned and watched as Zabuza then looked at him. "Times up Kakashi..." Crow said and the silver haired Jounin's eye's widened seeing the raw silver chakra swirling around his body. "Now it's my turn to have some fun with ol' Momo..." Crow stated while unsheathing the large black sword from his back and having it lay against his shoulder's. "Tora will be enough to beat you, I need not bloody Suzaku's blade anymore than it already has been..." Zabuza seethed as he heard the earlier crack and then chuckled when Crow crouched slightly one foot in front of the other.
"So then... Your really going to fight me? I'm honored that the Heir to the Onizuka Clan's legacy is challenging me really..." Zabuza said and everyone looked at Crow in confusion from the name. "Oh... He didn't tell you did he..." Zabuza stated and then laughed loudly. "He didn't tell you how he's from one of the most powerful of all the Clan's in Kiri, the Onizuka? Or... Did he tell you, how he carved a bloody pathway of destruction threw the Mist village, killing at the least six ANBU when he escaped from there at the tender age of eight?" Zabuza continued to question while Crow's body shivered in rage as the memory's of his past resurfaced. Naruto looked at his brother and slowly backed away a look of total fear on his face. Sasuke and Sakura saw then and did likewise finding it would be better not to be near the masked teen when he finally exploded on Zabuza...
"Momo... Your going to wish you hadn't done that..." Crow growled looking at Zabuza with furious eye's as he placed his sword into the ground before him to free his hand's. The two looked at one another for a time until Crow then made a few hand seal's before he then closed his eye's. A silence seemed to hover around the area as then the Silver chakra around Crow turned pitch black... "Now let me show you why... Awakening of madness Jutsu..." Crow said to the mist nin darkly his eye's slowly opening... Only the whites of his eye's were black now, the pupil's white slit's, his right eye was violet his left eye an icy blue...
