a week later

naruto had spent the week training with his mother and the one thing that seemed to cross his mind was. 'damnit this woman is a sadist.' she had placed hundred pound gravity seals on him and made him run two-hundred laps around the training area. after two days he got used to them and could run at a decant pace. so to amp up his training she started chasing him around the training field whith her sword in hand. after four days of speed and endurance training she tought naruto a couple of her kenjutsu forms she then. then with one day left she started teaching him about the uzumaki gekai genkki. the chakra chains. he used his shadow clone jutsu to inprove his capability with the technique. he could now make chains that went two feet for five minutes.

the day finally came and naruto went to the bridge with yugito and yugao. leaving kushina to guard tsunami and inari. naruto was sitting there anxious for his match with zabuza. he sat till he smelled a familiar scent. a smile came to his face. "well zabuza took you long enough."

zabuza smiled through his bandages as he jumped out fom under the bridge. "well kid good to see your senses havn't dulled." naruto got up from his seat and pulled out his sword zabuza did the same.

naruto smirked. "haku your gonna wanna come out here if you don't you'll miss all the action." haku jumped down from the rafters and and stood behind zabuza. naruto got into his stance and smirked. "well then zabuza shall we begin." zabuza nodded. and the two began to clash. zabuza didn't bother with his hidden mist technique becuase he knew naruto would just dispel it. by now both were moving so fast that not even yugito using nibi's eyes could follow them. the only way anyone knew they were there was becuase they could hear the sound of the two swords clashing. the two fought breaking every few minutes and every time they did they each had fresh cuts on them. noone knew how two men could be so fast. there speed made A the supossed fastest man alive pale in comparissen.

after thirty minutes of fighting everyone heard clapping behind them. everyone turned to see gato. who stood at about 4'10 with spiky brown hair and dark circle sunglasses. with him were about five hundred bandits. gato smiled. "well zabuza it looks like our partnership has come to an end but i do have to pay these men to so if you wouldn't mid killing a few of them before you die."

zabuza gritted his teeth, but naruto stepped fowerd. "zabuza i'm sorry but i'm going to kill this basterd. i promised an old bartender i would."

zabuza nodded. "fine kid then i get these bandits to release my anger on."

naruto smiled. "deal." both men ran at the group. zabuza swung at the bandits while naruto jumped above them. when he got to gato he grabbed him by the throat.

gato smirked. "you didn't... think... you... shinobi... were... the... only... ones... with... a... bingo... book."

naruto looked at him confused. "what does that have to do with anything." gato snapped his fingers and fifty ROOT ANBU apeared. naruto dropped gato and looked around and smiled. "hey guys been a while aint it. what would you say six years or i killed your buddies." the ROOT got into there stances. naruto smiled. "oh yeah i forgot you guys arn't big on talking are you." all fifty charged at naruto at once. considering the hell on earth training he had been given since that night. it was easy enough to dispatch them he simply cut and stabbed each of them in vital areas of there bodies. when it was over naruto smiled as he stood in the midle of a circle of fallen bodies. he looked over at gato and gave him a bloody smile. "well gato looks like it's time to let you join them. i've been wanting to try this since i learned it but i never met a scumbag who deserved it till today." naruto nocked gato down and cut his stomach open he then used healing ninjutsu to heal it back up.

gato luaghed. "that it boy." naruto held up his fingers. 3...2...1. when he dropped the last finger gato screamed in pain. "AHHHH WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME!"

naruto chuckled. "it's a little trick i found in one of anko-chans books. i cut your stomach open and then only healed the skin so that the acid would burn you from the inside out."

gato looked at him with extreme pain in his eyes. "you... basterd... how... the... hell... does... a... genin... get... this... good."

naruto smiled. "i don't need to answer that since you won't live long enough to benafit from the information." naruto held up another. 3...2...1 and when he finished gato let out one last painfull scream then dropped dead.

zabuza walked over full of cuts with spears sticking out of his back. "well kid you did it. looks like you win i'm not gonna live long enough to finish the fight."

naruto walked over to him. "he you old basterd your not gettin away that easy lay down and i'll fix ya up real nice like." zabuza growled but did as he was told first on his stomach so that naruto could remove the wepons and heal the wounds they left. he then flipped him on his back so that he could heal his stomach. when he was done he got up and clapped his hands. "that should do it."

zabuza stood up a little wobaly but was happy he could stand. "thanks kid."

naruto smiled. "no problem. but you shouldn't be thanking me you should be thanking rin-chan she said that learning medical ninjutsu would be just as inportent as leraning combat ninjutsu an it might come in handy one day."

zabuza chuckled. "you seem to know some pretty interesting women a kenjutsu master a torture master and a medical master. and from what i've seen you inbody the best parts of each. and acording to momochi law since you saved my life you own it now."

naruto looked at him. "if thats the case i'd like it if you and haku would come back with me to kumo. cuase from the looks of it we might just be looking at the start of a war."

zabuza liked the sound of that. "you got it gaki."

a week later

it took a week for the bridge to be finished and for zabuza to finish healing. in that time naruto managed to up his chackra chains by three feet and could hold them for ten minutes. his mother told him that it would come in handy for sneak atacks and asassanations. as they were leaving they heard one of the vilagers ask. what they should name the bridge. tanzuna thought. "the great naruto zabuza bridge."

before leaving wave though they stoped by naruto's favorite bar it was packed but the bartender recognized naruto and called him over to the bar he looked at naruto and smiled. "so did you take a look at that head gasket i told you about." he asked offering naruto a burban.

naruto took a swig and sighed. "yeah it was hell to get to but i took a look at it but when i left it it was leaking allover the floor."

the old man smiled. "so i guess you have to take it back to the shop."

naruto faked a dissapointed look. "yeah but i highly doubt it's salvageable. i better get goin i gotta be back at the shop by 2."

the bartender smiled. "alright you come back sometime."

naruto got up getting reddy to leave. "by the way old man whats your name."

the old man smiled. "names leon kenedy."

naruto shook leons hand. "well i'll see ya leon."

leon smiled. "see ya naruto." and with than naruto smiled bought a bottle of burban and left for kumo.

two days later

it only took two days since it was all ninja running. when they got to the raikage tower. when they got to the door to A's office they knocked. A heard this and stated. "come in."

naruto and his group came in. A raised a eyebrow when he saw the infamous demon of the mist in his office. "naruto would you mind introducing me to your friends."

naruto smiled and stepped foward. "this is kushina uzumaki red death of konaha and my mother, zabuza momochi. the demon of the mist. and haku momochi duaghter of the demon of the mist. both of them are looking tobecome kumo shinobi. i am willing to vouch for both of them."

A raised his eyebrow again. "really naruto you'd be willing to stick your neck out for one of the seven swordsman a savivior of the boody mist and a A-rank missing ninja."

naruto smilling and nodding. "any day of the week."

A looked a zabuza and haku. "one of my shinobi who happens to be rookie of the year and my nieces boyfriend is goin up to bat for the two of you so i will let you in... but be warned that becuase of who he is i will punish any backstabing with extreme prejudace."

"yes sir" both said simotaniasly

A smiled. "good then zabuza momochi kushina uzumaki i hereby place you both as a jonin of kumogakure. haku momochi i place you as a genin of kumogakure on team yugao." he then handed them headbands and. kushina and zabuza jonin jackets. "dismissed"
