Chapter 8
Team seven kept watch while Haku and Naruto worked under henge. Soon the bridge was almost down there was only the memorial left to do.
Several of the workers showed up as did Tazuna's family and of course the two demon carriers. They held the funeral there on the top of the support with the Leaf nin down on the bridge keeping watch. After they finished making the small shrine that held Zabuza's sword Naruto stepped forward and started doing chakra seals.
¤Get them to look the other way for a minute or two, doesn't matter how just distract them.¤
¤Ok.¤ The clone then fell off the bridge, making it look like he got clumsy and fell off the railing he had been sitting on. Now that the nins were distracted Naruto finished.
"Memorial of the assassin no jutsu. Rest in peace Zabuza, Demon in the Mist, and guard this home of your surrogate son."
Mist appeared behind the shrine and out stepped a transparent Zabuza. He held pride in his eyes as Haku finished the chakra seals that he had started when Naruto was half way through his own.
"This is for raising me like a son, and I will always love you, my father. Tomb's protection no jutsu." Haku finished with tears running down his face. The shrine glowed a heavenly gold and white for a second before returning to normal. Zabuza nodded. He reached his hand through the shrine, and pulled out a transparent version of his sword. He strapped it to his back and bowed to those present.
"I will kill all who wish cruel harm and death to this country or it inhabitants. Thank you for giving such a wonderful home to my son." With that Zabuza's spirit turned and walked into the mist that vanished soon after he was out of sight.
"Now that our bridge has its guardian it can be named. And in honor of whose soul now protects this great bridge, and by request of our two saviors who plan to do great things for this country, I name this bridge the GREAT ZABUZA BRIDGE!" Tazuna shouted. Those present cheered before paying their respects and going down off the bridge. Tazuna approached Kakashi and his genin.
"Thank you for protecting me and helping our people. As soon as we get enough we will pay the right amount."
"Ok, well then we best be off then." Kakashi said as he turned and started walking across the bridge. Sasuke followed with out a word while Sakura fawned over him. Naruto's clone stayed back and said good bye to Inari before joining the others.
Once team seven was out of sight Naruto stepped up next to Tazuna and Inari with out his worker henge on.
"Me and Haku are going to stay for a month before heading out." He said with a smile on, as his face mask and shades were off again. Haku stepped into view with similar new attire. He had similar pants and boots as Naruto. He wore a black FP that had the symbol for dragon on it and on either side of that were copies of Zabuza's sword, with the handles angled up towards the top of the symbol. His shades, though not on as well, were normal two lens sunglasses, each one being goggle like trapezoids that would not hinder his vision. His shirt was a long sleeve dark blue silk Chinese style, fitting tightly to his body, and had the symbols for 'Dragon in the Mist' on the back in ice blue. His trench coat was near black navy and had 'Son of a Demon of a Man' in ice blue. His face mask, though again off, looked like a dragon's mouth made of ice. He didn't were the arm guards or gloves that Naruto wore though.
"That is fine by me. You can stay as long as you want."
It had been two months since team seven returned from Wave Country. Naruto's clone had kept up his act the whole time. Now he was running with Konohamaru and his friends from an enraged Sakura. He had been hanging out Konohamaru and his two pals when she had showed up. Konohamar being him asked if they were you know. Naruto had just said that they sure were educated for their age which still set Sakura off. Suddenly Konohamaru slammed into someone. It was a guy had face pant and a bundle on his back. Naruto knew at a glance that he was a puppeteer. He activated his new eyes underneath his henge and genjutsu. He thought back to how the real Naruto had activated it a little over two weeks ago and what had followed.

Naruto looked over the last jutsu that he had to learn before he would have learned everything from the Uzumaki clan but the optical section and how to fight with this last jutsu. He made the dragon hand seal and then took his right hand away from it, leaving half a dragon seal there. He quickly did the chakra symbols his family used while moving into one handed seals of his clan always returning to the half dragon in between each one.
String, gauntlet, shield, blade, launcher, string.
He did this with in half a second before he made that hand into a fist. He had been trying to get it just right for the last three hours but he finally got it. The shovel like gauntlet formed over his fist. On the other side the shield formed. Short blades formed along the edge of the gauntlet and four formed around the shield making it like a saw blade attacked to the bottom of a strange arrow head. From the pointed tip of the gauntlet came a normal chakra blade, giving it a deadly look. He could feel the launchers form right behind the blades that were along the edge of the gauntlet and on the sides of the circular shield, which would launch the whole thing when activated and/or spin the sawblade. He also felt the chakra stings acting like glue to all of it and a thick chain of them attaching it to his fist so that he would still have control over it. He had the Chaos Eyes on so he could see it.
"So this is the Uzumaki's Dragon blade no jutsu. Amazing."
"Hell yeah that thing is."
But before Kyuubi could say anything more pain lanced into Naruto's eyes. When the pain stopped and he opened his eyes again everything had slowed down. He picked up a near by mirror and saw that the whites around his electric blue irises had the Uzumaki symbol in it. It looked down right scary. Also, it was turning slightly. He focused a little, just testing something, and saw everything speed back to normal. When he looked in the mirror, the blades had stopped moving. He focused again and soon they were moving pretty fast while everything else was at a standstill. He slowed it down so everything was as normal speed.
Sweet! So they move when I am watching time move slower. This will make mastering the shunshin so much easier. I'm still sore from running into all those trees yesterday. Hmmm… I wonder if I can mix my blood limits for a better effect?
He deactivated his Blade eyes.
Blade eyes! He got the blades in his eyes again. Chaos eyes! His retinas disappeared and his blue eyes turned into ying yang signs. He first did it with level one and looked at how it looked with the Blade Eyes at the same time. Then it was on to his favorite, which had taken up till now to get as well. Silver and gold ying yang with crimson and electric blue dots looked back from the mirror. Demon eyes! His eyes pulsed completely crimson for a second before returning to how they were before. But now he also saw the black slit in the middle where it usually is when he used Demon eyes.
Fuckin' sweet. I got to show this to Haku when he gets back from that run Tairyu is having him do in the glacier. I really don't like it here in Snow Country. Too cold.
"Get used to the cold Kit, we're staying here for a two more weeks. Anyways, since you finally got the Blade eyes down and managed to mix all three of your optical powers into one, I'm going to teach you a special demon jutsu that I had made shortly before I went out for revenge."
Why did you attack for revenge anyways?
"I guess you're old enough now. My mate had just given birth and died of it. I had left to get food or a replacement mother for her. When I came back I found my kit's skinned corpse stuck to the wall with spears and farming tools. I could smell every human that did it and all of the scents led to Konoha. You already know the rest from there."
You attacked blindly because of rage of your daughter being killed before she can even open her eyes, right?(nod) Because of your blind rage you are also killing innocent people as well, which gets my dad's attention really fast. He rushes off, hoping my mom will be alright until he can return, and you two start fighting, and eventually having fun. But when you get the scent of the last ones responsible, you rush off and he has to get me. Mom died of childbirth like your mate, and dad sealed you in me. After that he drops dead and the rest we know as my life.
"Wow you summarized that really well. Ok now back to that jutsu. It is called 'Inner spirit no jutsu'. Here's how it works. It is like your hanyou form, which you and Haku have only gotten up to level one in, but turns you into what your spirit really looks like and not how your human body looks like. My guess is that Zabuza's real spirit looks like a devil with blades on its arms or something. I have no clue what you would look like. I am inside your soul so I can't see it."
Naruto spent the next hour learning the technique before he finally was ready to try it.
He rushed through the seals before saying its name. Looking at himself in the mirror, he found himself looking at the body of a phoenix. But not a normal phoenix at all. For one, it was mostly black with red tipped feathers. Another thing he noticed was that he still had his blood limit eyes in this form. Looking more closely at his body, he found that he had a golden head crest like his normal hair. Another thing he took notice of was the fact that he had nine large tail feathers that extended away from his pain tail and oddly resembled fox tails. Each one ended in a kunai like blade as well. His wings also had blades on them, this time it was the last feather at his of his wing tips were replaced by katana like blades. There was yet another blade sticking from his head crest as well. And to top it off he was the same size as his human form. He changed back after looking himself over once more.
Hey Kyu, I just thought of a new name for myself. Naruubi no Jyuuniken. And I got an idea for my eyes too. What word makes you think of chaos and demons, and for some people, blades? Apocalypse. I'm calling my new eyes Apocalypse eyes. Better than saying 'Blade eye, Chaos eye, Demon eye'. Trying to do that would get us killed. Oh and can I show Haku how to change too?
"Sure and the names are good ones, but why Twelve Blades as a last name?"
My spirit form had nine tails. Each tail had a blade at the end of it as did my wings and there was another on my head, totaling out at twelve blades. So twelve blades is what I came up with. It sounds cool too. And the Naruubi part came partially from my spirit form again. I was which I guess shows my soul's determination, right, but you could see both of us in the phoenix, like its nine extra long tail feathers, showing you, or its golden head crest, showing me.
Kyuubi agreed with him there and so their new name was settled.

Haku had learned the technique and when he changed he turned into a dragon angel, looking like a strong looking man with scale like armor made of ice covering his body. He also had six sets of wings, but they all were dragon wings.
Naruto quickly shook himself from the real Naruto's, now Naruubi's memories. He saw that the sand nin had picked up Konohamaru.
"Put him down!" Naruto shouted.
"Or what brat?" Kankuro asked with a snarl.
"I might not stop with your doll in the means of breaking things."
How did he know about that? Kankuro thought. Naruto looked like he was going to charge so Kankuro made some chakra strings and sent them out to catch on of Naruto's feet. Naruto saw this and smirked. He made his family chakra string with one hand and flicked his wrist. The string whipped out and snagged all of the puppeteer's strings.
"You know, when you use string, you want to make sure it is nice and strong but won't get you stuck if they do." Naruto said as he pulled his hand back, pulling Kankuro's with it.
Wh-what?He caught Kankuro's strings? How can he do that?
§Seems I have another visitor. And this one seems interesting. I'll tell boss and Kyu about this later.§
"Now put him down before I wrap my strings around your neck and play hang man." Naruto growled. "And while I'm at it. Mind coming down from there? I know trees are comfy and all but it is nicer to meet people face to face. Sasuke, you can come down as well and drop the rocks." Naruto said with out letting his eyes leave Kankuro and Temari.
Sasuke appeared next to Sakura, who was shaking a little because of how Naruto was acting and the threat that the others held. Now though, she was clinging to Sasuke while Inner Sakura was waving her fists in the air.
Sasuke is so cooool! Inner Sakura shouted, not even paying attention to Naruto at all.
A red haired boy appeared in front of Naruto. He had thick black rings around his eyes and a huge gourd on his back.
¤Hey boss, Kyu, I got another demon host. He seems to be an insomniac and has a big gourd on his back. I'm getting the scent of blood and sand from it.¤ The clone sent out. He only had to wait a second before getting an answer from Kyuubi.
∞Send a sample of his chakra. Try to see if you can tap his demon for a sample too. A scent memory will help as well.∞ Kyuubi's voice appeared in his head. He made a second string and carefully made it tap into one of the red heads chakra pours. Soon he had a tiny sample of both their chakra. He quickly sent it along with the memory of the boy's scent. Sadly he could only get small amounts of chakra using that technique, but it was good for testing for the identities of other demon hosts.
"Nice to meet you face to face. May I ask your name? Mine is Uzumaki Naruto." The clone said.
"Gaara of the Desert. I apologize for my teammates, but I can assure you it wont happen again." He glared at Kankuro who still held Konohamaru and had his other hand held captive by Naruto. "Let him go Kankuro." The puppeteer dropped the boy who scampered over to Naruto. Naruto gave one last tug before letting go of the other's strings. With a nod the sand nin started walking away.
