k I am going to be rushing the story a bit until we get to the chunin exams, which will not be long so if it seems a little rushed you will know why. Thanks for reading the first chapter, and I am sorry but this one will also be a short one. once I get into the chunin exams I promise the chapters will be longer, and that is because I will have more to work with. I'm sure some of you will understand.

"Wow Kakashi that's quite a boy you got there." Zabuza exclaimed as he watched the now exhausted Naruto fall to the ground unconscious. "Who knew Konoha held this powerful of shinobi. Do you know what clan he comes from?"

"He is from the Uzumaki clan who are originally seal masters, but I have never known them carry a bloodline." Kakashi replied honestly.

"Kakashi sensei what was that technique Naruto just did?" Sakura asked in a shocked tone still in disbelief at what the blonde had accomplished.

"I have no idea. I think it may have been a wind technique, but my sharingan couldn't copy it."

"Either way once we regain our strength me and Haku are going to leave. I still plan on taking the Mizukage's head." Zabuza mentioned to the group as he went to pick Haku up seeing as she passed out sometime after Gato showed up.

"Zabuza you are welcome to stay with me. " Tazuna spoke but paused for a second as he gave a humored smile, "That is as long as you're not going to try to kill me."

"That would be great old man!" once Zabuza finished speaking a loud roar erupted from the direction of the village, and at the end of the bridge stood the whole village that Inari was able to round up in hopes of defeating Gato.

"Even though I am sure the village would love to talk to their idols I think we should head home so you can rest." Tazuna chuckled as the rest of the group eagerly nodded.

Time skip

Later that night at Tazuna's house Tsunami had just finished making dinner for the semi-large group in celebration for their victory at the bridge. Sasuke and Haku had managed to wake up during the time Tsunami started dinner and were busy eating the appetizers that were laid out which was just simple rice balls.

"Hey Kakashi is Naruto alright?" Sasuke asked showing a unusual change in character.

"Yeah just a little bit of chakra exhaustion, but with Naruto he should be back by the end of the night." Kakashi answered knowing full well the Kyuubi would restore Naruto to his previous strength.

"Okay, but did you happen to see his eyes?" Sasuke questioned the copy nin yet again, but this time capturing every ones attention.

"Yes Sasuke, but from now on that will be a classified secret until we can speak to the Hokage. Understood?" replied Kakashi as he pulled out his favorite book.

Zabuza knew that he wouldn't find anything else out about the boys bloodline so he decided to change the subject, but right before he could speak someone else cut in.

"Hey Zabuza can you teach me how to use a sword?" Naruto asked as he walked into the room obviously still out of it from the previous experience.

"Not sure kid, first you don't have a sword and I don't know how long I will be able to train you."

"What if I can get one?" Naruto persisted as his usual energetic persona came back.

"I still don't know how long I will have to train you." Zabuza shot down trying let the kid down easy.

"If you train me then you would be able to say you helped train the best Hokage there ever was!"

Seeing this argument going nowhere Zabuza decided to end it for good, "Fine brat go find a sword."

At hearing the ex-swordsman's words Naruto practically jumped for joy as he darted out the door to go looking for a weapon shop.

"Glad to know he's ok." Came Sasuke's voice in a bored tone confirming every ones thoughts.

Small timeskip

"Where should I look first?" Naruto asked himself as he ran around the village of wave in his search for a weapons shop.

Just when he spotted a shop and was about to walk in an old man shouted out to him, "Hey sonny what are you looking for?" The man had short grey hair. He was wearing an old dusty robe that looked like it hadn't been washed in years. He was missing one of his front teeth, but overall he held a kind face.

"I was just looking for a sword, preferably a ninjato." Naruto decided a little small talk couldn't hurt.

"If you beat me in a spare then I will gladly give you one!" The old man spoke enthusiastically.

"Really? That would be so cool!"

"yep I just barely came back from a two-year trip and found out about all the stuff that has happened here since I was gone. It's the least I can do to repay you."

"I was just doing my job besides Kakashi sensei did more of the work then I did." Naruto humbly protested.

"Yes I am sure of it this kid is the one." The old man thought to himself as he turned he spoke, "Follow me." With surprising speed for an elderly man he took off into the direction of the forest.

"Hey old man, wait up for me!" Naruto shouted as he charged after the man.

In a clearing about ten minutes away from the village stood a light brown shack that looked to be about ten years old. The door was fairly short, and next to it were two white windows that were open probably to air out the small building.

"If you're done staring at my home I would like to finish this fight." The old man spoke in a now calm neutral tone. His voice completely different from the kind one he portrayed earlier.

"That's fine with me!" Naruto shouted as enthusiastically as ever.

A small unnoticeable smirk came across the man's face as he quickly sprinted towards Naruto to fast for the boy to see, and before he could even blink a sword had appeared from the guy's robe. Holding it forcibly against Naruto's neck the old man spoke, "When facing an enemy you know nothing about always treat them as the highest possible threat!" He lectured as he turned the blade to its blunt side and slammed it into the side of Naruto's head effectively knocking him unconscious.
