Chapter 3: The Wave Mission

AN: This is just a quick summary of the events that stay the same so far.

After a variety of boring missions, Team 7 was finally given a C rank to take the bridge builder Tazuna back to the Wave Country. However, they were attacked by Hidden Mist Chunin, and it was revealed that the Hidden Mist outlaw Zabuza was after them from the Gatoh Group. He was quickly disposed of by a tracker nin, and they proceeded to the Land of Waves, where they met Tazuna's sad grandson Inari.

Naruto had many conflicts with young Inari, who had befriended a man named Kaiza, who Gatoh killed. In the forest, Naruto met a very effeminate boy and then, with his team, learned about chakra control and its use in climbing trees. Zabuza revealed himself to be alive, and he and Kakashi had their final battle. At the same time, Naruto and Sasuke were fighting against the tracker nin, who turned out to be a fake working for Zabuza. He had just killed Sasuke, causing the Kyuubi inside of Naruto to rise up and fight him, revealing him to be the boy from the woods, who explained his story on Kekkei Genkai, and then told Naruto to kill him as he said he would.
