Chapter 7
The next morning Team 7 moved out minus Naruto who wouldn't wake for some reason. An hour later Naruto woke up after a really long session with Kyuubi.
"Crap I slept in!" He nearly half yelled. The reason he didn't was because he could hear a commotion outside.
When he got there he saw Inari yelling at two thugs who were holding an unconscious Tsunami. He quickly did some hand seals and made the sign for his chakra blades while focusing on one of Kyuubi's tails. Chakra Kunai no jutsu. It formed two yellow tinted kunai in his palms. He then positioned them correctly before forming the sign for launcher. He fired the two chakra kunai into the two thugs' faces with dead aim. The near invisible blades struck with a yellow flash as the two fell spasming from electric shock.
"You came and helped!" Inari shouted as he caught his mom.
"Duh, the hero always arrives at the last minute. Can you go get the rest of the village for me? We might need it today." Naruto said as he rushed off. Inari set off to do as he was told as well.
When Naruto got to the bridge he saw Kakashi fighting Zabuza in a field of mist. Sakura was standing next to Tazuna and Sasuke was fighting Haku in a cage of ice mirrors. Naruto rushed over and jumped into the cage with Sasuke.
"Idiot! Why'd you get yourself stuck in here?" The Uchiha asked as he dodged some ice needles.
"It's no fun out side." Naruto said. The two began to dodge the needles while slowly being turned into pincushions. Finally Sasuke fell with all the appearance of being dead. When Haku finished his little speech Naruto spoke.
"It would help if he was really dead and I don't care if he is or not. Now I can drop this stupid henge and genjutsu." Naruto soon appeared with his black pants, black shirt, near black coat, boots, arm guards, gloves, face mask, shades, and personal FP along with his Hidden Leaf FP on his belt.
He got into the fighting stance of the Eiyaisoi, Exploding Fist.
"This is an interesting development." Haku noted. He sent a wave of ice needles at Naruto.
Naruto smirked. "You have no idea." He slammed his open palm down onto the ground, releasing the explosiveness of his chakra.
The explosion sent him straight up and out of the way of the needles. While in the air he saw Haku sending more needles at him. He made the shield sign with both hands and formed a large barrier. The needles struck it, leaving him to fall unharmed. This time Haku sent an ice dragon flying at him. He made a fist version of his gauntlet and gave it a fire attribute by focusing on another of Kyuubi's tails. He did the same with the other hand and brought both over his head.
"Gorilla's Haymaker!" He shouted as he slammed both fiery fists down on the dragon's head.
"Kit, let me take control for a bit, I sensed demon chakra in that last attack."
Kay. Naruto said back as he handed over half control to his body. Claws came from his fingers but that was all you could see was different.
"Demon, show yourself and speak!" Naruto/Kyuubi shouted. Haku stepped out of the mirrors, almost against his will to a point. Ice formed on his shoulder and took on the shape of a crocodile like dragon head.
"Who calls forth Tairyu, the Ice Dragon Lord?" The head said out loud while looking around.
"I do." Kyuubi replied through Naruto's mouth. He pulled off his face mask and shades to show thicker whisker marks, fangs, and the Demon Eyes. "And I am Kyuubi, the symbiot demon of the human, Naruto, and Demon Lord of the Foxes."
"Kyuubi? I did not realize it was you. You have taken on a human as a symbiotic host? Why?" Tairyu asked. Haku took off his mask and looked at the second head on his shoulder.
"Why are you out? You never came out when I asked you to." Haku asked, sounding dejected. On many occasion he had asked the ice dragon to talk with him or teach him. All but two of those times were denied. The two times he had come out was when Haku had to defend against his own village and when he met up with Zabuza.
"Hush Hatchling, you are in the presence of one of the strongest demons to ever walk either plain."
"It is alright, Tairyu I do not mind, nor does my host. As to why that is because I was sealed in him when I attacked his village. I took a liking to him after he threatened me several times at the age of ten. His body was being beaten to death at the same time and after I knocked all of the offenders away with just chakra he still threatened to rip my tails off if I said jumping off a cliff would make him stronger." Kyuubi ended with laughter. "And if I was you, I would become friends with your host, it can be rewarding in many ways. I will hand over control back to Naruto now that I know who I am with." With that Kyuubi receded from control, letting Naruto take over again. His whiskers thinned back to normal and his fangs shrank a little, as did his claws but they didn't go away, as he was still using Kyuubi's chakra. This puzzled Haku for a moment before the answer was made clear. A burst of the red chakra erupted from Naruto's shoulder and took form using the five elements. They blended together before chakra coated it. Soon it looked like Naruto really had Kyuubi's head made of flesh and blood sticking out of his shoulder.
Naruto then put up a genjutsu using his demon eyes before deactivating his eyes.
"Now it is safe to talk with out my teammates knowing." Naruto said. Before they could start talking though, Haku heard Zabuza shout in pain. Both demon hosts whirled around to see Zabuza falling to the ground with a part of his left chest ripped off. Naruo threw up his henge and genjutsu that hid what he really looked like and stopped using Kyuubi's chakra so that he looked normal again, second head gone and all. Tairyu also went away as Haku ran over to Zabuza and helped him up. Naruto jogged over as well and listened as Zabuza gave a father's dieing speech to Haku. Kakashi had passed out from using the sharingan, chidori, and several other jutsus, which drained him faster than normal.
"Haku, I am sorry I have always put you in trouble and always on the run. I just want you to be happy. You have been a son to me and I only wish that I could have raised you in a better way. Please live on happy for me." He looked over to Naruto. "The reason I took Haku in was because I have the ability to sense life, which includes demons. I can tell that you are at peace with yours. Help Haku's become the same."
As Zabuza finished and fell unconscious from blood loss they all heard maniacally insane laughter. They looked to see Gatou with over three hundred men.
"I thank you, for killing him for me. Now all I have to do is kill the boy. And I know enough that after all that fighting there is no way you could fight all of my men!" Gatou laughed again. He had hit a nerve for both the demon hosts. They both tapped into their demon's chakra and with it their hanyou level one form, as they would later call it. Naruto got his claws, demon eyes, fangs, and thicker whisker marks. Haku's eyes turned artic ice blue with slitted retina, much like Naruto, claws, and fangs, but instead of whisker marks Haku gained patched of ice scales on his arms. They both went into a flurry of hand seals, which if you could see them, would turn out to be energy seals, at a blurring speed before finishing on the chakra seal for soul.
"Soul's revenge no jutsu!"
An ice dragon with Tairyu's head shot from Haku while a flaming fox head with a flaming wake shot from Naruto. Both rushed forward and started to twist around each other. The two spinning, snapping and roaring heads ripped right threw Gatou and several men behind him.
Thankfully Kakashi had passed out for a short time, again, and Sakura still couldn't see anything through the mist. Both hosts returned to normal just before Kakashi woke up again and the mist cleared.
"Hey, you killed our meal ticket! Come on guys, there are only four of them! Lets kill them and ransack the town!" But before they could get too far an arrow struck in front of them. They looked behind the ninjas and saw the whole town there, all ready to fight. Inari was in front with a crossbow.
"Like you said, the hero always arrives in the last minute!" He shouted to Naruto, who smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
Seeing all of the villagers there, as well as what they had seen the two boys do, they turned and ran. But Haku was still pissed, though so was Naruto, but he had a cover to keep for now. Haku did several energy seals again.
"Soul's second reign no jutsu!" This time the ice dragon shot straight up and looked down at the now running punks. A mist formed and out stepped an ice statue that looked like Zabuza. He raised his sword and the dragon opened its mouth. He dropped his sword in a signal and thousand upon thousands of ice swords like his rained down on the bandits from the dragon's mouth. When Haku was done he nearly fell but Naruto caught him. After Haku steadied himself, he and Naruto picked up Zabuza and started to walk off the bridge.
"Naruto, where are you going?" Kakashi asked.
"I'm helping Haku get Zabuza to a place where he can die in peace and then have a proper burial." Naruto answered soberly. "Sasuke is still alive, just a lack of blood flow to the brain. Haku said just pull the needles out and massage. I think Sakura will do that for you." With that the two carried the dying missing nin through the crowd that parted as they passed. Inari followed with his mom and grandpa.
They set Zabuza down on a bed and covered him with a white blanket. Haku stemmed the bleeding while Naruto turned to the ones who had followed him.
"Where is the best place you can think of to make a ninja village?" He asked.
"Why?" Tazuna asked.
"Because I've decided to stay and with Haku, start a ninja village in Wave after we travel for a year." Haku nodded in agreement, though he was a little shocked at this information.
"But what about your team and village?" Tsunami asked.
"That is not a problem for me." He did several energy seals. "Chakra bunshin no jutsu." A glowing mist came from his body. It was mostly blue but had some small amount of crimson. Soon there was a second Naruto standing there. The real one dropped his henge and genjutsu with a sigh of relief. The clone headed off back to the bridge where he helped his team get to Tazuna's house where they all rested.
"You are doing a great thing for this country. You united our people and saved our economy as well as soon going to give us our own defense. How could we ever repay you?" Tazuna asked.
"Let me and Haku help finish the bridge and on the top of the support closest to the country, make a burial memorial for Zabuza." Naruto said. Haku looked up in shock. "Also name the bridge the Great Zabuza Bridge. My demon knows a jutsu that will let his soul guard anything I select and I think that protecting a place where Haku can live happily with his own demon would make him just as happy."
"That would be wonderful!" Inari shouted.
"Yes I think that would be just fine." Tazuna said. "Come, you can stay near my house until your friends leave."
"Thank you." Naruto said as he bowed. After Tazuna and his family left Haku turned to him.
"You would really do that for me?"
"Not just you. Zabuza was a great man. Kyuubi says that he could call Zabuza a demon, even if he was really a human. If Zabuza was a real demon he says that he would have been a higher lesser demon of a demon clan, bat type most likely, and a higher lesser holds a lot of respect because it is about the level of a human clan head in retrospect."
Suddenly Tairyu came forward in the form of a miniature ice carving of his head.
"He is right. To be a higher lesser, you are literally the top of the lessers. The next step after that would be a normal demon, which you don't see on Earth because they are too weak to break through, but too strong to slip through to this plain."
"And what type of demon rank are you and Naruto's demon?" Haku asked his new symbiot.
"We are both the heads of our specific clans. Kyuubi is lord over all foxes while I am only lord over the ice dragons. That is because the dragons are sub divided into elemental groups. If you were to compare demon ranks to human ranks it goes like this. Lesser demons would be academy students, meaning Zabuza is basically rookie of the year for a demon. After that it's normal demons which would be genin rank. Next is greater demon, or chunin and then greater demon/jounin. After greater demon it is demon lord, or sennin. The next level is demon king, which is kage level in human ranking. After that it is demon emperor, the strongest of all demons. He would be equal to a kage sage. Basically me and the Kyuubi are clan leaders, then there is a demon that is in charge of several clans, such as the dragon king, who is my boss, and after that it's the demon king, who is in charge of the demonic plain where we usually live."
"Question. Why is it that you are talking to us out loud while Kyuubi can only talk to me through my head?" Naruto asked.
"That is because you have to be using his chakra to do so. Haku has a blood limit over ice which I can tap into, thus making myself a physical body. Just to talk I need to be touching him otherwise he needs to be using my chakra."
"You are going to train me right?" Haku asked.
"Of course now I will. If Kyuubi is willing to be a symbiot to a human then there is no reason not for me to do so. Oh and Naruto, tell Kyuubi that I think there are other demon lords that have been sealed. I know there are a ton of lesser, normal, and higher demons that are sealed. Even a few greater demons sadly."
"Kyuubi already knows. He was out longer then you before being sealed and he was half loose when I was ten."
