Greetings my little hyena pack this is your queen and matriarch Lucy bringing you the sixth chapter of Naruko ZX. In this chapter we begin the 4 part wave arch. I have decided that her Kaio-Ken is going to be purple instead of red like it normally is. The Abyssal Queen Dragon jutsu was a spur of the moment thing but I really like it. None of you told me what you thought of Naruko's two time/space/dimension jutsu. Please tell me what you think of them, if not in a review then in a PM!

Chapter 6; Missions and Wave Part 1!

A week and a half later and Naruko was gently petting the brown cat in her arms. This cat was named Tora and apparently it was a demon that hated everyone and everything. Naruko couldn't see it as this cat was just the sweetest little thing. Well to her it was, Ino and Sakura were walking behind her glaring at the thing with pure hate. It had scratched the hell out of their faces each time they came across Tora. This was actually a lot, as team eight got this mission a lot, because apparently Naruko's ability to attract the cat was a god send. During the past week Naruko had noticed something about Ino that she hadn't before. Ino would sneak peeks at her, or openly drool a little when Naruko sparred with Anko or Kurenai. Another thing that had happened over the past week was Naruko having to stomp a few mudholes into Sasuke because in the words of Madoka the arrogant trash would come by and demand things from her that didn't belong to the prick. This had driven an even bigger wedge between her and Sakura, not that Naruko cared as honestly Naruko hated the pink haired girl with the burning passion of a thousand burning suns. What was crazy is that Oozaru, Zero, Aile and yes even Madoka hated the pink haired girl just as much.

Naruko was also very happy to have unlocked a chain version of her Z-Saber. With just one of them it was about 7 feet long with a few inches to give, but when she combined the two of them, she had a extremely long chain that had a very sharp edge and could pierce through anything. Naruko of course had trouble controlling said chain, and she had the bruises to prove so. Naruko had when not with her team, started to actually train Konohamaru and his two friends. Apparently he had told people about his amazing Onee-sama and the two kids had believed him. They were named Moegi and Udon and they had instantly called her Onee-sama. So once getting used to the two new kids, she had started to train all three of them, while also training herself. She had actually transformed the 3 kids and Sarutobi into half saiyans through a very complex and old ritual Oozaru and Madoka had found. So now not only was she training the three kids in kenjutsu and other things, but she was helping them with their saiyan powers. The first thing she had done was get rid of their weakness in the tail. After that it was a walk in the park. She had even taught Konohamaru the Koshihameha, as he was a natural. His of course wasn't as powerful as hers, but he had time to grow.

What made her happy is that she had apparently found away around the side effects of the Kaio-Ken. All she had to do was flood her body with chakra before using the power up. Oozaru had laughed at how simple she had made it look. So Naruko now had access to the Kaio-Ken for long instances, and had pushed herself to be able to use the Kaio-Ken x25 and that made her almost feel like a god. She hadn't dared tried going over that because even with her flooding her body with chakra, she would still be drop dead tired after. She had also created several attacks and had learned a new taijutsu style. Apparently Yami-sama had still felt guilty so she had sent Naruko a new taijutsu that would be downright deadly. Well it was more like two new taijutsu styles. The first was called the Assassin Fist and if she ever learned how to use all of it's attacks, she would most likely gain the nickname of Raging Demon. This is because it had two disciplines. The first was called the Satsui No Hado and the other was called the Mu no Ken. The last one would be a littler harder for her as it was called the Power of Nothingness for a reason and Naruko still had a lot of pent up issues, that she blamed on the way she was raised.

Naruko blinked when Tora's owner took the cat from her and started to smother the cat. Naruko flinching did something that made most of the room pale. She snatched Tora back from the lady and sent a glare at the woman. Naruko ignoring the movement by Anko and Kurenai said "It's no wonder Tora-chan keeps running away from you. You smother the poor thing when all she really wants is a little love and her personal space."

The lady blinked and asked "Are you sure?"

Naruko nodding smiled and said "Look at the way Tora-chan acts with me. She is loving and wants to be around me. That's because I pet her and let her do her own thing."

All eyes moving to Naruko could indeed see Tora rubbing herself against Naruko and purring loudly. The lady blinking asked "Can I try?"

Naruko nodding slowly handed Tora back to the lady and smiled when Tora was treated like she wanted to be. Tora was now purring loudly and rubbing herself against her master. The lady now very happy said "Sarutobi give this young lady a bigger reward. She just helped me with Tora-chan."

The lady then walked out of the office, leaving a lot of people in the room shocked. Sarutobi shaking his head said "Naruko you're getting paid the amount of an A-rank mission for getting rid of that cat."

Naruko hearing this blinked wondering what the big deal was. She could actually hear Madoka inside of her talking about being so proud of her granddaughter for finally slaying the demon cat, and since she accomplished such a feat, she would be rewarded with personal instructions on how to form chains from chakra. Naruko then blinked when an old man walked in smelling heavily of alcohol. This man looking at the people in the room blinked and asked "This is the team that's supposed to protect me? I asked for ninja, not a very confused pink haired boy, a daddy's girl and a super model."

Naruko knowing who he was talking about smiled at the man and said "I can assure you Tazuna-san, we are indeed capable ninja and will protect you with our lives. I also thank you for the compliment but I am not a super model."

She then turning to Anko and Kurenai asked "What time do I need to be ready?"

Kurenai said "In an hour."

Naruko nodding bowed to everyone and vanished in her quickly becoming signature move. Sarutobi, and team eight all shivered as Naruko had let all of them come with her at least once when she did that jutsu. Every single one of them had puked up their guts after she did so because it was like moving too fast and too slow at the same time. Stomachs weren't built for that.

An hour later and Naruko was walking down the road with her team, in the diamond formation and in her armor. Both Z-sabers were attached to her hips and she was ready to draw them at a moments notice. She was also ignoring the pink haired banshee and her constant questions. Oh how Naruko hated Sakura, but kept it to herself. She feeling chakra signatures blinked and started to look around. She spotting the puddle in the middle of the road sweat dropped. She could hear Madoka, Oozaru, Zero and Aile face palming at how stupid this genjutsu was as it hadn't rained in weeks, but a puddle was in the middle of the road. Naruko shaking her head turned to Ino and could tell that Ino had noticed it also. In fact the only people who hadn't noticed was Sakura and Tazuna. This made Naruko really wonder how is it that Sakura had even made it this far. Shaking her head she turned to the puddle and decided to do something she learned how to do a few days ago. She walking up to the puddle pulled out a single small compacted ball. Dropping it into the puddle she took several steps back and said "Boom!"

When she said this a huge explosion occurred where the puddle had been and two very injured men appeared. Naruko could see that both men were barely standing on their feet, and that is what she wanted. She tossing three shuriken smiled when the two men were wrapped neatly in ninja wired. Anko eye smiling said "Good job Naruko. I'll take over from here."

Naruko nodding walked over to Tazuna and ignored the pained screams of the two men as Anko did what she did best. Anko turning to glare at Tazuna asked "Just when were you going to inform us of Gato?"

Tazuna hearing this blanched and asked "Who?"

Anko scowling said "Don't play dumb with me you old drunk. Spill the beans before I castrate you with a rusty needle."

Tazuna hearing this gulped loudly and confessed. Kurenai sighing said "You should have just told the truth Tazuna-san, as a responsible adult I am afraid it is my duty to turn back with my students and-!"

She was cut off by Anko who said "Nai-chan!"

Kurenai turning to give Anko a glare gained wide eyes spotting Naruko already walking down the road, with Ino standing beside her, both girls on either side of Tazuna. Kurenai turning could see that Sakura was standing there with wide eyes. Kurenai shaking her head yelled "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Naruko stopping turned to look at Kurenai and what she saw shocked her to the very core. Burning in Naruko's eyes was pure unfiltered determination, and Ino had the same thing in her eyes. Naruko allowing her sharingan to appear said "I will not stand idly by and let a country suffer if I can help. Even if I have to build that bridge by myself, while protecting Tazuna-san from whatever may come. I will never leave anything to suffer as that is against my honor and against my nindo."

Ino nodding said "When I put this headband on I set out to prove to my father that I'm a capable kunoichi who he can someday pass the title of clan head to. Turning back now would only make me seem weak, and I refuse to be seen as weak any longer."

Anko hearing this skipped over to her two students and with a bright smile on her face said "I agree with these two Nai-chan. We can't let Wave suffer just because pinkie over there is a terrible kunoichi who couldn't fight her way out of a wet paper towel. It is our honor and pride that will help us protect this old drunk."

Kurenai sighing said "Well since you three put it that way I guess we can continue the mission."

Sakura hanging her head wished that she wasn't on a team with Ino-pig and Naruko-baka. If she were on Sasuke's team she would be safe at home right now peeking on Sasuke take his bath. Shaking her head of these thoughts she raced to catch up with her team.

After crossing some water team eight were now on high alert as they moved towards Tazuna's home. Naruko was actually on an entire different level of alert then the rest of her teams as her saiyan blood was boiling and the one time it had done that was when she had to beat down Sasuke. This meant that a fight was about to happen, and from the way Oozaru was chuckling it was going to be a big one. She suddenly sensing something in a bush was about to toss a kunai when Ino beat her to the punch. She creating a clone had it go over and check the bush. She scowled spotting a scared shitless snow white bunny. The clone picking up the bunny walked back over to Tazuna and handed him the bunny. Naruko said "That bunny is supposed to be brown not white, meaning it has been breed specifically for the replacement jutsu."

Ino nodding got on guard while Sakura who was trembling a little was trying to stay alert. Anko and Kurenai were impressed with Naruko's logic and were also impressed at how quickly Naruko had fallen into the role of team leader. All ears perked up when a sound could be heard heading towards them. Naruko and Ino both tackling Tazuna said "GET DOWN!"

Anko tackling Sakura down said the same thing while Kurenai just dropped down. A loud thunk could be heard. Naruko slowly standing up gained wide eyes spotting a rather legendary sword in the shinobi world. It was the Kubikiribocho otherwise known as the head cleaver. This could only mean that they were dealing with one of the legendary seven swordsmen of the mist. Naruko now knew why her saiyan blood had been boiling. The owner of said weapon then appeared and both Anko and Kurenai cursed spotting Momochi Zabuza. Zabuza hearing said cursing smirked and said "Yuhi Kurenai, Mitarashi Anko no wonder the demon brothers failed."

Anko eye smiling said "Momochi Zabuza the demon of the bloody mist what a pleasure meeting you here."

Zabuza chuckling said "You don't have to pretend Mitarashi I know you'd rather not fight me, and truthfully I'm feeling a little generous. Hand over the old drunk and I'll let you and your brats go."

Anko was about to say something when Zabuza had to dodge a black beam boomerang. He turning to look at Naruko titled his head to the right as the boomerang came soaring back. Naruko catching her weapon and shifting it back into it's true form activated her sharingan and said "Anko-sensei was about to tell you to hit the bricks, but I decided to save her the time and give you a better answer you eye browless freak."

Zabuza with a twitching eyebrow asked "Is that true Mitarashi?"

Anko eye smiling said "My student is correct Momochi."

Zabuza turning to Kurenai asked "What about you Yuhi?"

Kurenai sending him a glare said "My answer is the same."

Zabuza shaking his head said "Such a shame. I was actually going to let you leave unharmed. Oh well."

He then faster then Kurenai or Anko could counter activated the hidden mist jutsu. Kurenai cursed as she couldn't use her genjutsu because of the mist. Anko moving back to back with Kurenai said "Team eight diamond formation around the old drunk. Protect the client."

Naruko and Ino nodding jumped right into formation with Sakura already doing so. Zabuza in the mist chuckled and said "There are eight lethal points and I can easily get to anyone of them right now."

His killing intent started to leak out. This quickly made Ino and Sakura start trembling. Naruko wasn't effected by it because she had been dealing with killing intent all her life, not to mention her boiling saiyan blood was buffering most of it out. Naruko somehow sensing Sakura moving her kunai said "Don't even think about it Sakura. You are my teammate and a member of my village. I'll protect you with my life got it."

Naruko's words not only knocked Sakura out of her state of fear, but knocked Ino out of hers as well. Zabuza chuckling said "Big words for a little brat."

Naruko's ears then picked up the sound of a footstep. She quickly turning around and withdrawing her Z-saber collided with the Kubikiribocho just as Zabuza was about to slice Tazuna in half. Zabuza blinking smirked and said "You're good kid."

He was then stabbed by Anko but instead of bleeding he turned into water. Anko cursing said "Damn water clone."

Naruko hearing the air move jumped and moved Anko out of the way just as another Zabuza appeared and sliced her in half. Anko was about to scream, when Naruko turned into water herself. Zabuza spotting this said "I thought that was the sharingan I saw in your eyes. I was right as you copied my water clone jutsu."

Naruko standing back to back with what she knew to be another water clone said "Think again browless. That wasn't a water clone, but a ice clone."

All eyes widened when she said this and watched as the water clone turned into a solid block of ice. Zabuza appearing took a swing at Naruko, but gained wide eyes when Kurenai tried to kick him. He spinning knocked both her and Anko into the lake. He was then stabbed in the chest by Naruko and once again turned into water. Zabuza appearing on the river smirked and trapped both Anko and Kurenai in a prison made of water. Naruko spotting this scowled and said "Well damn. Looks like it's up to me to free both of our sensei."

She creating four clones nodded. All five Naruko's then started to blur through handsigns shocking Zabuza and the others. All five finishing cried out "Fire/Earth/Water/Wind/Lightning style; Fire/Mud/Water/Wind/Lightning dragon jutsu!"

All five elemental dragons were quickly created and to the horror of Zabuza the five dragons combined into one massive dragon. The original Naruko shifting into the snake hand sign cried out "Ultimate style; Abyssal Queen Dragon Jutsu!"

The dragon roared and rushed toward Zabuza who literally had no choice but to let go of the water prison or be killed by the massive dragon Naruko had created. Anko and Kurenai quickly switching places with a log watched as the dragon crashed into the river and exploded. Zabuza with wide eyes looked at Naruko and asked "What in the nine rings of hell was that?"

Naruko ignored his question in favor of flooding her body with chakra. She once flooded said "Kaio-Ken!"

Her body then became cloaked in an aura of purple energy. She then literally blasted towards Zabuza who gained wide eyes and tried to move. He wasn't fast enough as he ended up catching a haymaker to the jaw and being sent flying across the river. Naruko letting the Kaio-Ken fade away smirked. Anko and Kurenai had wide eyes and their jaws were scraping the ground as they had never seen that before. Ino wanted so much to swoon over what Naruko had just done, but needed to remain focused. Sakura had to admit to herself that what Naruko had just done was pretty badass. Tazuna was just as shocked as Anko and Kurenai as he barely even saw Naruko move. Zabuza standing to his feet and rubbing his aching jaw glared at Naruko and said "That hurt brat."

Naruko still smirking said "It was supposed to browless."

Zabuza growling started to go through handsigns and growled when Naruko started to do the same handsigns. He was about to finish when Naruko cried out "Water Style; Water Dragon Jutsu!"

Zabuza quickly calling out his own jutsu barely managed to make a dragon big enough to clash with the one Naruko had made. He watching the water go down gained wide eyes when Naruko cried out "Water Style; Violent Water Wave Jutsu!"

Zabuza was then hit full force by the powerful wave of water making him crash through several trees. Naruko jumping out of the water and into the trees cried out "Lightning Style; Currents Convulsive Jutsu!"

Zabuza screamed as the wave was flooded with lightning making the attack more powerful. He finally stopped at a very sturdy tree. Naruko appearing in front of him said "Today you die Zabuza and go to meet real demons."

Zabuza growling asked "Can you see the future?"

Naruko nodding said "Yes as I just told you yours."

Before Naruko could dish out the finishing blow someone appeared and grabbed Zabuza with an ice shushin. Naruko spotting this said "Oh great now we have an unknown to deal with."

Anko, Kurenai, Ino, Sakura and Tazuna arriving asked "Where is Zabuza?"

Naruko rolling her eyes again explained what just happened. Anko nodding then said "HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT!"

Everyone blinked wondering what that was for. Anko looking at Naruko with stars for eyes said "That was so cool. First you threw your boomerang thing and told him to hit the bricks, then you saved the old drunk's life and then created that cool ice clone. Then you created four clones of yourself and created a version of each elemental dragon. You then combined them to make this wicked powerful dragon and made Zabuza free us. You then became a purple rocket and clocked Zabuza across his jaw. You then faced him down and beat him with his own jutsu. And then you combined water and lightning to make a super badass jutsu that had Zabuza screaming in agony and then you stand here like a badass waiting for the rest of us to catch up."

Anko wrapping one arm around Naruko was smiling brightly and said "You are my most favorite genin ever."

Naruko sweat dropped having no idea what to do in this situation, while Kurenai face palmed. Ino now sure that the danger was gone started to swoon over how badass Naruko had looked and put another notch on Naruko's cool meter. Sakura wondered if Sasuke could do anything Naruko had just done. Tazuna was looking at Naruko like she was god given human form. Naruko ignoring this asked "So Tazuna-san can we go to your home now?"

Tazuna nodding said "That's right follow me."

The next morning Naruko was in the forest doing sit ups with her shirt off, as Ino and Sakura were taught the tree climbing exercise by Anko and Kurenai. Well it was more like they were being forced to expand their chakra pathways, while Naruko did her morning routine. Naruko getting to 100, got up and moved to push-ups already knowing what she was going to be working on. She wanted to see if she could accomplish the fabled Super Saiyan state without tragedy or anger powering her. She didn't know why, but she had the feeling that her enemies were only to get stronger and if she wasn't up to standard she'd fall behind. Naruko didn't want that, in fact she wanted to be strong enough to be able to protect everyone she cared about, and Sakura. Yes Naruko may hate Sakura, but the pink haired girl was her teammate and a member of the hidden leaf. So Naruko would protect the girl with her life, unless Sakura betrayed the village. In that case Naruko would kill the pink haired girl herself.

Naruko also wanted to free wave from Gato, because she could feel the depression hanging over the country and she couldn't stand it. She had even met Tazuna's grandson before everyone else and could sense how deeply the boy was hurting. Naruko blamed the old man, Aile and the motherly affections of Madoka for wanting to help the boy. Naruko had also realized that Ino didn't like Sasuke-teme like she thought. No Ino was in love with her. Madoka and Oozaru had instantly told her to use this to her advantage and make the girl train harder. Naruko had agreed and had promised Ino that if she did everything Anko and Kurenai told her to today, she'd go out on a date with Ino. She had smiled when Ino had literally leaped into the training and was working extra hard. Now if only she could figure out how the motivate Sakura, then Naruko would be less inclined to call her a useless banshee. Sighing Naruko got up and started to practice the Assassin Fist. She had created some clones to help her with said practice. A group of clones had also separated from the main group to go work on Super Saiyan and some other things.

Kurenai watching as Sakura and Ino ran up and down the tree wondered what had Ino so fired up, but was thinking more about her third student. She letting her eyes move over to said student, could see Naruko practicing some kind of taijutsu style. Kurenai could see how driven Naruko was, and unlike how Sasuke Uchiha was, Naruko was driven to protect instead of harm. In fact the drive to protect is so strong in Naruko, Kurenai found herself admiring Naruko sometimes. Naruko was the beacon of light on team eight and Kurenai believed without a doubt that one day Naruko would become the Hokage. Anko looking at Naruko as she trained, loved how driven Naruko was, and the fact that Naruko had a bad life, only made Anko like her more. Hell Anko hadn't been kidding when she told everyone that Naruko was her favorite genin ever. Naruko was like raging inferno, while everyone else was like little sparks. Anko admired this, and kinda wished she could be like that. The fact that Naruko had the Sharingan, made her even more awesome, because unlike the mostly dead Uchiha clan, Naruko didn't rely on hers, but only used it as a tool. Ino running up and down the tree had a fire in her eyes and a determination in her step. She wanted to be strong like Naruko and if she had to get all dirty and sweaty to do so, then so be it. The fact that Naruko had promised to go on a date with her if she trained hard had nothing to do with why she was so fired up. Sakura was working less hard than Ino, as she didn't want to be all sweaty and dirty, because all she could think is what if Sasuke saw her like this.
