I do not own Naruto and I don't plan to in the future. I do, though, own this fanfiction and original characters in it.

Twelfth Unmei: Acceptance
Meanwhile during the whole event of Naruto showing up, Kiiori was fighting with Tsuki on the water bellow the bridge. Like before, their fight consisted of using Taijutsu, rarely using Ninjutsu.
"We are equally matched, either both of us will die or both live, there will be no victor." Kiiori pointed out.
"Shut up, I will kill you." Tsuki growled as she became enraged.
"Do you really wish to continue, even if it results in your death?" Kiiori questioned.
"I won't die here." Tsuki shouted as she rushed Kiiori, on the verge of losing her sanity. Her attacks kept becoming quicker and more powerful that Kiiori was being pushed back.
"I will not hold back any further." Kiiori informed as he went on the offensive.
(Back with Naruto and the Rest)
"Yo!" Naruto greeted as he appeared in front of Sasuke within the mirrors.
"Idiot what are you doing here." Sasuke scolded. 'Does he even think?' Sasuke wondered.
"I'm saving you." Naruto said matter-of-factly.
"Not if you're inside here." Sasuke pointed out.
"Oh, yeah. I hadn't thought that far ahead." Naruto revealed.
"Get ready he is coming back." Sasuke told Naruto and the both assumed an attacking position.
"If it ice then I will use fire, Grand Fireball Technique." He yelled as he released the fire from his mouth. The fire spread out but it had no effect on the ice.
"Fire will not melt this ice." Haku pointed out as he attacked Naruto and Sasuke. "Even your eyes will not be able to see me."
"Well if we can't melt it we'll just break it. Shadow Clone Technique." One Naruto for each mirror appeared and they all jump into attack. Haku easily dispatched of all of them.
"I do not want to kill you both, but if you stand in my way I will have to. I have precious people to fight for. My dream is to make their dreams come true." Haku pointed out.
"I have a dream too, so I can't die here." Naruto yelled at him.
(Back to Kiiori and Tsuki)
"Why does that girl fight for you?" Kiiori questioned, rushing Tsuki.
"We saved her. She was all alone but then we took her in." Tsuki responded while blocking.
(Back to Naruto and Sasuke)
"Very well then, I will end this soon." Haku said as he began to attack. Naruto tried his hardest to dodge but couldn't, Sasuke on the other hand was slowly catching up to his movements. 'He is able to dodge at the last second.' Haku observed. "This is it." Haku yelled as he jumped from his mirror.
'I can see him moving slower and slower.´ Sasuke began to feel a rush of adrenaline as Haku's movement became clearer. "Now!" Sasuke yelled as he picked Naruto up and dodge the attack completely. Haku was stunned, this boy had completely dodged the attack, but when he looked at his eyes he saw the explanation.
"You hold the Sharingan?!" Haku said shocked.
"Yeah, I can barely see it, but that's enough." Sasuke smirked, getting ready to dodge.
"Then I will defeat you in the next move." Haku stated as he went for the last attack.
'He's not aiming for me.' Sasuke noted as he watched Haku traveled toward Naruto. Acting on impulse, Sasuke jumped in front of the attack to save Naruto.
"Sasuke…' Naruto began as he turned to see Sasuke standing in front of him with dozens of sebon needles in him. "Why?" Naruto yelled.
"I hated you, but my body just moved on its own." Sasuke muttered before he fell to the ground limp.
"I hated you too, I never asked for you to save me." Naruto began to weep.
"He jumped in to save you even when he knew it was a trap. To be able to risk his very life for a person that was important to him. He was a true shinobi." Haku gave his respects his fallen foe.
"Shut up!" Naruto yelled, no in a feral position, his demonic chakra pouring out of him.
"This chakra! What is this? How can anything have such malice?" Haku trembled as he returned to his mirror.
(With Kakashi)
"This isn't good." Kakashi pointed out, as he could feel the two demon chakras build up.
"What is this? It is pure malice." Zabuza questioned.
"This is the demons of Konoha." Kakashi explained seriously. "No one here will survive if we can't control it. Let's call a truce."
(With Kiiori)
"Naruto has snapped." Kiiori stated as both he and Tsuki stooped fighting.
"What is this tremendous power?" Tsuki questioned, wondering if anything could have this much chakra,
"It is the demons of Konoha." Kiiori answered. "We must stop it before it's too late."
(With Hinata and Sakura)
"What's happening?" Hinata and Sakura questioned in unison. They could feel the killing intent oozing off the chakra they felt.
"Wha-what's this?" Tazuna trembled as he back away from the source of his fear.
(Back to Naruto)
"What are you?" Haku questioned in fear.
"We are the demons of Konoha." Naruto said, his voice blending with Kyūbi's and Umu's. Naruto let his chakra exploded pushing every this around with exhilarating force. It cleared the area of the mist and everyone could clearly see the demonic chakra take the form of a giant fox. He then rushed Haku, who tried to escape from his mirror into another, but was caught in mid flight and smashed into the mirror, breaking it. Haku flew about a hundred feet before stopping. In a flash, Naruto had appeared before Haku and pinned him to the ground, now in full fox form. He breathed heavily as he pushed Haku harder into the ground.
"Naruto, stop!" Kakashi ordered, but Naruto didn't listen. Kiiori came up and appeared by Kakashi.
"What happened?"
"That." Kakashi pointed to Sasuke's body.
"Oh. We have to stop him before he destroys everything." Kiiori stated as he looked at the already accumulating destruction Naruto's chakra was causing. "Zabuza, Tsuki, we will need your help." Kiiori said. They didn't respond vocally, but only nodded your head.
"Sakura, Hinata, keep Tazuna safe." Kakashi ordered, but Hinata was a little hesitant because she was worried for Naruto. "Don't worry, everything will be okay." Kakashi spoke with a genuine smile. "Okay, let's get this over with." Kakashi told the others. In unison they all rushed Naruto. All Naruto had to do was send a large blast of chakra for them to be sent flying back. They tried again, but with no avail, Naruto would just attack them with chakra. When Naruto was sure he wasn't in danger he looked back to his prey. In all the fighting Haku's mask fell off to reveal the girl he had met earlier that week.
'What's this feeling? It's the same as before. It seems so familiar. It's like what I felt when I was younger.'' He thought as hestared at the girl. He could feel his body become relaxed and his thoughts clear, and then he was suddenly surrounded by light. His vision cleared and he was in a small hut, he saw a woman lying on the table screaming in pain, and then the crying of a baby. The he heard laughter and tears as he saw am man hand the baby to the woman on the table.
"You did it. You gave us a beautiful baby girl." The man said with tears of joy running down his face. Then Naruto's vision whitened and became clear again. He was outside on the snow covered ground. He saw a little girl playing with the snow and then out of nowhere it started floating and forming shapes.
"Haku-chan, time to come in." Naruto heard a voice call from the hut. He turned to see the same woman that he saw giving birth. He then realized that he was viewing Haku's life. "Haku, stop that." The woman shouted as she rushed to the little girl. "Haku-chan, how long have you been doing this?" The mother asked.
"I just started, I imagined what I wanted the snow to do and it did it." Haku chimed out sweetly.
"Haku-chan, I forbid you from doing this anymore." The mother ordered sternly.
"Why?" Haku asked innocently.
"Just do it for mommy." The woman said as she hugged the girl. Back in the hut a man could be seen looking at the daughter and mother. "Come in soon." The mother said as she walked back to the hut. After a few second returning to the hut, the woman let out a blood chilling scream. Haku rushed in to see what was wrong only to see her father stabbing her mother. The man realized the girl had entered and rushed her. Fear overcame Haku and she closed her eyes to the attack. When she opened her eyes she saw her father impaled on a spike of ice. She ran as far as she could from the hut, crying all the while.
Now, Naruto was in an urban area with a slightly older Haku. She sat on the edge of the street with tattered clothes. People who walled down the street either sent nasty glares at her or acted like she didn't exist at all. Then a two ninja's Naruto recognized as Zabuza and Tsuki walked up to the girl.
"What a poor child." Tsuki said solemnly.
"A child that is not wanted by anyone; you will die with neither freedom nor dreams." Zabuza said as Haku looked up to him.
"You have the same eyes as me." Haku said with a smile. Zabuza and Tsuki only looked shocked by that statement, but then regained their composure.
"Come with us." Zabuza said as he stood up and turned around, Haku following silently. As Naruto watched the three walk into the distance he returned to reality. 'She was just like me, no one to care about us, not wanted; so alone, only ourselves to rely on.' Naruto thought to himself.
He still stood over Haku's body, and tears began to pour out of his eyes. He slowly began to revert to his human form as he howled out. "I'm sorry." He cried when he returned fully human. "I'm so sorry." He repeated as he pulled Haku to her knees hugged her. "Please forgive me." He continued. This lasted for several minutes, as everybody watched in astonishment. A several minutes ago Naruto was leaking Killer Intent but then it suddenly vanished. The after a few more minutes, he broke down to tears.
"Why won't you kill me?" Haku asked confused to why this boy was apologizing,
"You were just like me. No one cared at all, but then you found people to give your life for. I can't take that away." Naruto cried out as he hugged the girl tighter. "Please forgive me."
"But I killed your friend." Haku stated even more confused.
"One life doesn't deserve another. I could never take the life of someone that has been through the same things I have." Naruto exclaimed as he sobbed even more, "Please forgive me."
'What should I do?' Haku thought. 'I just killed his friend and now he is asking for my forgiveness. What could have happened to make him that way? What does he mean the same as me?' Haku wondered. This boy, no younger than her age, was crying like a five year old child begging for their parent's forgiveness after they did something wrong. When she looked into Naruto's eyes, still pouring out tears, she saw right into his soul. She saw how pure he was. "Hush, it's all right." She said as a protective and caring emotion came over her. The last time she felt like this is when she was living happily with her parents; she began to cry as she realized that she found someone to care about. "Everything will be just fine." She whispered as she began to rock back and fourth to quall Naruto's sobbing. Everyone watched this touching scene in silence. Everyone, including Tsuki and Zabuza were moved to tears by all the emotion in it. Then everyone heard a weak cough come from Sasuke and then a few more, stronger ones.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura cried as she ran to his side. Kakashi and Kiiori also rushed over to give medical aid.
"Sasuke-teme is still alive?" Naruto asked between sniffles.
"Yes." Haku said sweetly, tears flowing out of her eyes.
"That's great." Naruto said weakly. After a few seconds, he passed out, to which Hinata responded by rushing to his side.
"He's alright, just exhausted." Haku said as she put Naruto into Hinata's arms. She then walked over to the rest of her team.
"We can't fight these people." Haku said as she gathered with her team. Tsuki and Zabuza didn't respond, but they understood that she had developed a relationship with the Naruto boy. Just then, Gatou the very man who hired them appeared.
"Well, well, well, looks like the Devils of the Mist aren't as devilish as they thought." Gatou laughed madly. Behind him was an army of hired hands. "Well, it's not like I was going to pay you anyway." He revealed. "I hired all these men with the money I hired you for. Surely they will succeed where you three failed."
"You son of a bitch!" Tsuki yelled enraged.
"We will make you pay, one way or another." Zabuza threatened Gatou, trying to scare him and working.
"I will double all your pay if you kill everyone over there." Gatou shouted as he looked to his own men. The men roared in agreement and were about to charge when the felt an ominous presence.
"Do not make one move. Gatou, leave this country now. " Naruto said, even though it was actually Kyūbi and Umu talking through the unconscious Naruto. Everyone could feel the killing intent pouring out of Naruto, but all of it was direct to Gatou and his men.
"And what will you do if I don't." Gatou laughed nervously trying to bluff his way out of it.
"This." Naruto said as he appeared right behind Gatou and bit him in the neck. Gatou just stood there for a moment before he cried out in pain. Then he rambled out pleads like "Anything but that" before Naruto removed his teeth from Gatou's neck.
"Men, leave here at once!" Gatou ordered as he pointed to the opposite direction.
"What about our pay?" Some yelled back.
"You will receive your pay; just leave before that demon kills us all!" Gatou said as he pointed to Naruto who had appeared next to Haku. By the looks in Gatou's eyes they could tell that whatever the kid had done, it must have scared Gatou shitless. Plus, they didn't really care what they did as long as the got paid. As soon as they left, Naruto fainted again.
I know I haven't been updating alot but I'm going to make a better effort to write. Though this chapter isn't as long as most of the others, I really enjoyed writing it, so I hope you enjoyed reading it. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with Tsuki and Zabuza but I already have a plan for Haku.
Please review. Please write whatever ever you want about the story but please review. Any ideas, suggestions, what you like, what you don't like, or anything concerning the story.
