(A/N) We are back. Today is shaping up to be a nice memorial day, and I've already spent some time brainstorming outside for my story. I have decided what the weapons will do and what their names will be. Thank you for all your support on the omake and weapons stuff.

Kiacamper: While I have been giving a lot of things to Hinata, overall Naruto and Hinata are equal. But I do have to admit that I do favor Hinata, as her younger self reminds me of my own younger self. But Naruto will receive things as well later. Overall, Naruto has more brute strength than Hinata, but Hinata has more control over her specific abilities. They completely balance each other out when they fight as a team though.

Jinchuurikilover2: So damn close. Pokemon Conquest is actually a combination of Pokemon and the Franchise that I was looking for. That would be Koei's Samurai Warriors. The series is based on the fights that happened during and around the Sengoku or Warring States period of Japan. Tadakatsu Honda is Ieyasu Tokugawa's chief retainer in the games, and Yukimura Sanada is the cover character of the franchise. He also shares Ichigo Kurosaki's English voice actor in the games. Those games are my favorite when it comes to the Hack N' Slash genre.

Anyways, on with the story.

Chapter 14: The Demon and the Dobe

Yugito was a bit pissed off. Today was another check in day with the Kumo jonin that were her contacts. She hated those men. They were either leering at her or treating her like a weapon, just like the rest of Kumo did. In all honesty, sometimes she would have preferred to be treated like a demon like Naruto, instead of a weapon. Being treated like a weapon meant that she got respect, but it was all false respect. She hated it. She also figured that the men would try and take her back to Kumo today, so that she could be a good weapon and help with the capture of the Byakugan, like she should. So Yugito went behind their backs and told her team about her meeting. So now she was traveling a little ways outside Konoha, with Shino, Fu, and Kurenai following. They were all invisible though. Kurenai had put up a very high genjutsu that rendered her invisible to all but the very best sensors, and Fu had scattered scale powder on her and Shino that reflected the light and disrupted chakra, making them completely invisible. Yugito herself had put a demon henge on, turning herself back to her 13 year old body. The only thing that she couldn't change was her new eyes. They remained yellow and green.

As she neared the rendezvous point, she immediately saw the group of cloud Jonin. "Idiots, you're deep within Konoha's territory and you just stand out in the open like that?" She thought.

One of the jonin noticed her approaching and said "Hey Yugito-chan, what's up with your eyes?"

"It's a side effect from controlling too much of the Nibi's power, pay it no mind." Responded Yugito with the half-truth.

"Fine, so what news do you bring us involving the Hyuuga girl?" asked the jonin.

"A lot, actually. Most of it good." Said Yugito. "Although she is officially no longer a Hyuuga, but she managed to escape being branded by the seal. She is only under the protection of her boyfriend and their Jonin sensei. However-"

"If that's the case, we should just go in and kidnap her now!" said the Jonin excitedly.

"Quite you idiot and let me finish!" yelled Yugito. "We will not be going in to capture them now, and we will wait to the chunin exams as we originally planned. This is because of who her boyfriend is. If we do not separate them, then it will be impossible for her to be captured."

"Why?" asked one of the jonin.

"It's simple. Her boyfriend is Naruto Uzumaki, village pariah and host of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. Unlike me, he has no control over his demon though. If we were to try to capture the girl with him there, he would go on a rampage. The only survivors would be him and the girl. They were put together on a special two man team for a reason. That reason being that the girl is the only one who can snap him out of his rampaging state, and if we were trying to capture her, then I see no reason why she wouldn't just let him slaughter us, especially since she still holds a grudge against Kumo for our failed attempt to capture her when she was three. Also, if that were to happen, the whole village would be notified by the chakra he would put off, and a special team of ANBU would be sent to keep watch to make sure nothing goes out of control. The ANBU would immediately capture us if we weren't dead already." Explained Yugito.

"Very well, in that case you are to return to Kumo immediately, so that you can be put on one of the genin teams that we will be sending to capture her with." Said a jonin.

"That is also a bad idea. If the transfer student from the cloud were to suddenly disappear from her team, the Hyuuga would immediately put themselves on guard, and the Hokage would become suspicious and order to have the girl tailed with ANBU. We would never get her then. The leaf ANBU are very good at doing their jobs. I will remain in the village and continue working with my team. They trust me and are a very good source of information." Again explained Yugito.

The jonin then huddled together and spoke amongst themselves before breaking apart and saying "Very well, you will remain in the village for the time being. We will again meet a few days before the chunin exams. Try and find out what tests will be given. If we can refine our plan with that information then, we will."

With that said they shunshined off to get back to Kumo. Once they were a fair distance away, Kurenai released her genjutsu and Shino and Fu shrugged off the scale powder, causing them to shimmer into existence. Kurenai then said "Well that went probably the best that it could have gone. Very good job giving them that misinformation Yugito. So long as they keep thinking that Hinata is weak and of no threat to them, then they won't be prepared for what is going to hit them when they decide to attack the pair. They will stand no chance against Naruto and Hinata."

Yugito giggled and said "I know. I just can't wait to see their faces when they realize that I betrayed them. I can't wait to officially denounce my citizenship in the cloud and join the leaf. Next time I see Naruto and Hinata, I'll tell them to not kill the cloud that attack them, just so that I can tell it to their faces."

Shino then spoke up and said "We should report our findings to the Hokage. I am sure that he will be intrigued to find that Kumo is still after the Byakugan."

Kurenai then said to Shino "By the way, how did your father react to you bringing Fu home with you?"

Shino blushed and said "I think that my father is now thinking of naming Fu as clan head instead of me now."

With that they shunshined away to talk to the Hokage.

(Forest in the Land of Waves)

Kakashi was in trouble and he knew it. First off, their client had lied to them, and they were attacked by the demon brothers. Sasuke managed to get hit by one of their poisoned claws, but Kiba was actually able to take out one of the brothers. However that had left him open, and he would have been ripped apart by the other brother if he himself hadn't chosen to intervene. If Sakura wasn't standing there like a useless fangirl, then she could have protected Kiba and he wouldn't have had to step in. Sasuke actually managed to deal with the poison by bleeding it out by stabbing his hand with a kunai, but Kakashi had a sneaking suspicion that he had done that out of his emo instinct. So he gave Sasuke no credit there. After that whole fiasco, they learned the truth from Tazuna, and he had sent a dog to the Hokage for back up. He was originally going to call off the mission, but it was Kiba's loyalty to the mission that convinced him otherwise. He was very proud of Kiba. The rest of their trip went off without a hitch, until they got to this forest that they were in. Kiba smelled a rabbit that wasn't from around there, and that had saved the team's life. It was enough to put him on guard quick enough to notice the giant sword that was flying through the air at them and pull his team to the ground. The swords wielder turned out to be Zabuza Momochi, and Kakashi had known that he would not be able to fight him while protecting his team, so he had ordered them to stand back. So of course the emo didn't. He had walked up to Zabuza and demanded that he be given the sword, as it should be in the hands of the elite Uchiha. The idiot. Zabuza had proceeded to lift Sasuke up and threw him against a tree, knocking him out. So of course, the fangirl broke formation and rushed over to her precious Sasuke-kun. But as the saving grace for the team, Kiba had actually listened to orders and backed off with Tazuna. So Kakashi began his fight with Zabuza. They had traded blows, until he had slipped up and followed Zabuza onto his own turf, a lake. That resulted in himself being caught in a water prison.

Kakashi was contemplating these things while he sat inside the dome of water. He knew that he could escape by activating his Raikiri, but he did not want to run the chance of stopping his own heart. If he died, Kiba wouldn't stand a chance and he would probably die due to his loyalty to the mission. He could only hope that the backup that the Hokage would hopefully send would arrive in time to save them.

Just then a blur of black and lavender shot out from the forest and nicked the dome of water. Instantly the bubble destabilized and the water fell back into the lake. The blur shot back into the forest. Kakashi jumped back onto land and thanked the log that backup had gotten there in time. He turned to the forest where the blur had come from and saw Naruto standing there grinning with his arms folded and Hinata swirling a lavender and black kusarigama around by its chain, idly whistling a tune. Naruto then spoke up and said "It looks like we made it just in time, eh, Hina-chan?"

Kakashi looked to them and said "Your timing was perfect, I would not have been able to hold my breath a moment longer. While I am thankful for your help, I have to say that I'm a bit surprised that the Hokage sent two genin on an A-ranked mission, even if you two are special. But be careful, this man is Zabuza Momochi, demon of the Hidden mist, and a former member of the seven swordsman. Hold him off while I regain some of my strength, and then I will help you take him down."

Hinata giggled and said "Sorry Kakashi-san, but you should not have said that he was a member of the seven swordsman. My Ruto-kun has been looking for someone who could give him a challenge in kenjutsu ever since he surpassed Gekko-sensei. So he will not want your or my help unless he really needs it."

Zabuza's eyes widened upon hearing this and he said to Naruto "You mean to say that you surpassed THE Hayate Gekko?" Naruto nodded and Zabuza laughed and continued "Then I will not be underestimating you, kid. I've heard of how good Gekko was with the blade, and if you've surpassed him, then you could actually give me a challenge. Tell me, what blade do you wield? It is common courtesy between swordsmen to say what blades that they wield. Also, if you want, I am curious as to how your girlfriend's kusarigama stopped my water prison. It also cut off the chakra flowing into the arm that I had in the prison to keep it going, and that's got me curious if she is wielding what I think she's wielding."

Naruto stepped out into the clearing and said "Yes I surpassed Hayate Gekko, and I have to say that if you're as good as he was then I will have a fun time fighting you. I've surpassed him in skill, but his experience far outshines my own. Skills alone won't make you powerful." Unsheathing his sword, Naruto continued "I wield the vortex blade, the Kadouken. And as to how my girlfriend carved through your water prison, she wields the kusarigama known as the abyss, the Shin'en. It has the ability to disrupt the chakra of whatever it cuts and absorbs it into its blade, also absorbing the chakra of anything connected to what it cuts."

Zabuza's eyes widened further upon these revelations and he said "You mean to say that you wield THE Kadouken, one of the fabled Uzumaki blades of legend? Those weapon's abilities are said to surpass those of the seven swords of the mist, which were actually just gifts from the Uzumaki as a sign of friendship with Kiri. And your girlfriend wields one of the most powerful kusarigamas in existence? Who the hell are you two?"

Naruto's grin widened and he said "I am Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, heir to both the Uzumaki and Namikaze clan. This beautiful lady here is Hinata Namikaze, formerly Hinata Hyuuga, and is my mate, wife, and girlfriend. We are both Kitsune Hanyou, becoming so after merging with the lord of demons, the Kyuubi no Kitsune."

Zabuza's eyes were practically popping out of his head, but then he gained control over himself and started laughing, saying "HAHAHAHA, that's quite the reputation you have there, kid. I like you. I'll tell you what, I'll cut you a deal. We'll have our fight, but we won't kill each other. If I win, then you will stand by as I kill the bridge builder and you and I go on with our marry lives like nothing happened. If you win, I will stop hunting the bridge builder and will even go and kill my bastard of an employer for you. Then after you guys finish building that bridge, my adopted daughter and I will come back with you to Konoha. Haku come out here and show yourself." Haku jumped out of a tree and landed next to Zabuza's side. Zabuza then continued "Once we get back to Konoha, you can do whatever you want with us. I'm giving up on my ambition to kill that bastard Yagura."

Naruto grinned and said "Those sound like fine terms to me, Zabuza-san. And did you say Yagura? I heard that he died and that yesterday was the coronation for the new Mizukage. I heard that it was some chick named Mei Terumi."

Zabuza started to sweat and he said "Then there is definitely no way in hell that I'm going to ever go back to Kiri. I almost want you to win now, I think I would be safer in Konoha."

Naruto sweatdropped and said "Why, do you know her or something?"

"Do I know her? She's my girlfriend! Or at least she was until I lead the failed coup on Kiri and abandoned her there. If I ever returned there she would melt my body to goop with one of those two kekkei genkai of her's!"

Naruto sweatdropped again and said "Anyways, I don't think that you have introduced me to your blade yet, Zabuza-san."

Zabuza composed himself and said "Ah yes, I wield the Decapitating Carving Knife, the Kubikiribocho. I'm sure that we will have a fun match, so let's begin!"

With that Zabuza and Naruto raced towards each other.

And that's a wrap. I know that I'm evil. In the next chapter, I will reveal the abilities of the Kadouken, and it will be the first time that I will write a fight scene. I hope that I will not disappoint.

Anyways, on with the omake!

Wheel of Torture chapter 7

The root members were now getting used to the fact that the door would often say things that they did not understand or did not recognize. So today when the wheel stopped on something that they recognized, they were very afraid at what it stopped on.

It had stopped on "Amaterasu".

So the root members just stood there in fear with their eyes shut, awaiting their fate that they were certain would be fiery black flames of death.

To their surprise however, they heard a poof of smoke that sounded like something being summoned. They opened their eyes to see a white wolf with intricate red markings on its body and a flaming shield on its back.

(Cue Issun's theme)

They noticed a little black bouncing thing on the wolf's head and were very surprised when it started to talk.

It said "Hey Ammy, that stupid door summoned us again. And it looks like it not the normal Iwa dudes either. That means that that Minato guy pissed someone else off. I still can't believe that he rejected your offer to become a god after he helped us save Nippon from Yami. I mean you even revealed your human form for him when you asked him. And I thought Sakuya was hot, I mean damn why don't you go around in your hum-"

The little sprite was stopped short by the wolf tossing him up and grabbing him in her mouth before spitting it out on the ground.

The root members were seriously confused as to what had just happened, but their confusion was cut short by several things happening at once.

Some of the members were incinerated by flames that leapt from the shield to their bodies.

Others were suddenly chopped into fine strips by an invisible blade.

And others were ripped limb from limb by a sudden gale force wind that targeted only the root members.

None survived.

The wolf goddess turned to the door and looked sadly at it. She then placed her paw on the door and then poofed away in a bright flash of light with Issun.

()()()()()()()()

And that's the omake. Amaterasu will be appearing again in the story when Naruto and Hinata get back from the land of waves. It has something to do with her putting her paw on the door. Anyways, I would like to thank Shi-no-Ookami for reminding me with his name of one of my favorite games of all time. Okami. That game is an absolute masterpiece, and is one of the reasons why I find Shintoism interesting. Then again, I love mythology of any sort, but its Japanese stuff, and Japanese stuff tends to be awesome.

So until next time,
