Naruto Misbegotten
Absolution
"I'm gonna kill you!" Naruto shouted and shot past Hinata toward Haku jumping and shattering the mirror with one punch.
"Naruto." Hinata thought in shock. On the other side of the mirror prison Sasuke's eyes widened as Naruto looked around like an animal searching for prey. Haku dived down on him but the demon child planted his fist in the ground and spun out of the ice masters reach. Haku tried to make it to another mirror but was caught by the wrist. Naruto increased his iron grip on the ninja's wrist as he shouted and released his aura.
"Huh?" Zabuza grunted
"Uh?" Kakashi whispered
"No!" Minato shouted.
"This isn't good sensei." Kakashi said.
"The seal hasn't broken completely. We still have time." Minato said and drew a Kunai.
"Eh." Shino whispered
"What is that?" Kiba asked as Akamaru whimpered
"What?" Sakura asked
"Is Sasuke alright?" Sakura asked
"It's not Sasuke we should be worried about." Yakumo said familiar with that chakra.
"Be careful Naruto." She thought. In the ice prison Haku was buckling under the strain of Narutos chakra.
"Forgive me Zabuza; I cannot withstand this child anymore." Haku said to himself as Naruto clenched his fist, charged it with chakra and punched Haku with enough force to send him through the wall of ice mirrors. Still in a rage Naruto ran toward the Ninja as his mask began to crack. The boy leapt at the Ninja as the mask fell off completely. Naruto froze his fist inches from Haku's face.
"You're the kid from the forest." Naruto said.
"Why did you stop? I was about to kill your friends." Haku said
"Naruto!" Hinata cried as two small but strong arms put him in a death grip.
"Please stop! Me and Sasuke are fine, just please stop!" Hinata cried and Naruto felt the back of his shirt become damp.
"This girl cares about you a great deal." Haku said
"Hinata's asked me to stop." Naruto said
"I understand, but I have failed in my purpose, so my life is no longer of any meaning." He said
"Then I'll finish it for you." Sasuke said limping forward, a kunai in hand.
"Thank you." Haku said. Naruto scowled, then broke from Hinata's grip turned to an approaching Sasuke and knocked him to the ground.
"What the hell are you saying?" He shouted at him
"Just because you failed doesn't make you worthless. If you think your life had not meaning with Zabuza then join with us!" He said stunning all three of the other children
"Join with you?" he asked
"Why not, were all outcasts with sob stories, and to tell you the truth, I don't think your boss is gonna survive the day. So how about it, you can go off and die with your boss or you can join with us and find a new purpose in life, how about it?" Naruto asked. Haku sunk to his knees tears in his eyes.
"Zabuza, what do I do? He asked when his head jerked up.
"Forgive me Naruto, but I must decline." Haku said and vanished.
"Shit." Naruto said and Vanished after him.
"This is the end for you Zabuza." Kakashi said as Chakra crackled in his hand. The missing-nin was pinned down by Kakashi's nin-dogs.
"I cannot die here; my dream hasn't been fulfilled yet." Zabuza growled.
'You seek to achieve your own dream by crushing the dream and hopes of others." Kakashi said.
"For that you are sentenced to death." The copy ninja said and raced toward the other man at breakneck speed. Inches away Kakashi's sharingan eye saw flurry of yellow and blue movement before a foot kicked his arm slightly upward, causing his Raikiri to veer off and impact with Zabuza's shoulder instead of his heart and going out the other side. Kakashi looked to the side to see Naruto and Zabuza's apprentice struggling before Naruto nailed him with a hook that put the boy out cold. Planting his foot in the man's chest Kakashi pushed and yanked his hand out of the man's shoulder. Zabuza gave a great grunt of pain as the wound tore open even more. The dogs vanished and Zabuza stumbled forward, his left arm hanging limp, his right grasping his sword. The ninja was about to surge forward again when they all heard a laugh from across the bridge.
"Zabuza, I hire you to take care of these fools and you fail." Gato snarled a mob of thugs behind him.
"Oh well, I was never planning on paying you in the first place." The fat man cackled as he motioned his men forward.
"Well Zabuza, looks like we have no more reason to fight." Kakashi said.
"Your right." Zabuza said, hefting his sword.
"Hold it you two" Minato said and the two men looked at him.
"Let me finish this." He said and leaping up launched a grip of kunai into the crowd of thugs. The blond haired man vanished before he hit the ground and two thugs hit the ground dead, followed by two more.
"What's happening!" A thug yelled before he fell dead.
"Move forward you fools before…" Gato never finished before his throat ripped open. Minato appeared standing over the fat man's body.
"You bastard, you cost us our meal ticket!" A thug growled.
"Now we gotta loot the town just to break even." Another said when an arrow landed in front of the crowd.
"Hey Gaara, you're late." Naruto shouted. The older boy just smirked as he and Inari led a group of town's people against the thugs. The sand jinchuriki held up his hand and all the loose gravel rose into the air.
"This ain't worth it!" One thug yelled as the cowards disbanded and the towns people cheered.
...
Haku woke in up in a strange bed, a small grey dog looking down at him.
"So your finally awake." Naruto said as Haku moved into a sitting position.
"Naruto-kun." Haku said
"I guess I must have hit you pretty hard, sorry." The boy apologized.
"Where am I?" He asked.
"A friend's house." Kiba said loudly.
"I'm Kiba." The dog Nin said and gave what he hoped was a winning smile. Naruto realized what was going on and started snickering.
"I'll leave you two alone." Naruto said still snickering
"So what's your name?" Kiba asked.
"Naruto walked down the hall his hands on his head."
"Three, Two, One" He counted down
"WHAAAAAAAT!!" Kibas voice rang through the house as Naruto exploded into laughter. Two days later team seven was ready to leave.
"Are you sure you won't come with us Sensei?" Kakashi asked.
"I'm sorry Kakashi, but the Village betrayed these children and me. We can't come back, not permanently." Minato said. It was the same conversation they had ever since the battle on the bridge. Minato was adamant about keeping the children safe as they found their own way even if it wasn't the way of the village, and as much as it was Kakashi's duty to retrieve them he knew it was suicide right now. He was still a little weak from the battle and his sensei wouldn't hesitate to kill him if he tried to take any one of the children from him.
"But Sasuke you belong in the village with me." Sakura wheedled at the raven haired boy and giving him puppy dog eyes. The boy only growled under his breath.
"Having trouble with your girlfriend." Naruto ribbed as he walked into the living room.
"Shut up." Sasuke growled as Sakura blushed angrily. Hearing a soft giggle in the corner Naruto looked over to see Hinata sitting on the floor packing.
"Hey Hina-chan, ready to go?" he asked
"Hmm-hmm." She said smiling. Ever since the battle Naruto had started to enjoy Hinata's company more, finding it nice just to sit with her in silence, and when she had dozed off and fell onto his shoulder he found how soft and warm she was.
"To bad it took me this long to realize how great she really is." He thought as he watched her pack.
"All right, everyone ready to go?" Minato asked.
"Sakura, your teammates are waiting for you outside." Minato said and slinging her pack over her shoulder the girl gave one last parting look at Sasuke and walked out.
"So where to now?" Sasuke asked not giving Sakura a second thought.
"I got some info of an old student of mine, a kunoichi that would be a great second Sensei for you especially the girls. We'll pick her up then were heading back to Konoha for the chunin exams." Minato explained. An hour later they set out. Watching them go, Tazuna decided to name the bridge the great Uzumaki Bridge for Naruto.
"What's up Haku?" Naruto asked the boy as they walked.
"I hope Zabuza will be alright without me." Haku said. While he was healing, Zabuza had had a talk with Minato where he gave Haku's supervision over to him with his thanks. A day later Zabuza was gone leaving a note saying he was glad and that Minato could give Haku a better purpose than Zabuza ever could and to enjoy his new life.
"I'm sure he'll be fine." Naruto said smiling.
