Disclaimer: Naruto is not mine; it is the sole property of ever-the-troller Masashi Kishimoto.
A/N SO sorry I'm terribly late with the update. Don't worry, I'm not dropping this.
Also, just wanted to tell how Sasuke is the one in the lead on THE POLL. It makes me so happy to see so many SasuNaru fans out there; though I do respect other pairings and I will write if somebody other than Sasuke or Itachi (coz they are somewhat close) ends up being Naruto's love buddy.
"Well... Shit." Hatake Kakashi, the man of thousand jutsus' murmured. Of all the times he decided to act against his instincts, it had to be on this precise day. Hasn't his life taught him differently? He should've brought Naruto with them to the bridge, instead of leaving him to laze around in his terribly comfy bed.
But dammit, seeing his adorable sleeping face just made it harder for him to stretch his hands and shake him awake... Of course, he had no qualms about kicking the Uchiha brat from his spoony position against the blonde angel (imagine what Minato-sensei would do to him if he finds out Uchiha was molesting his lil boy... again).
Then again, Kakashi mused, it's not like it bothered Naruto; as much of a bother it was to his parents, Naruto loved attention. And was quite the touchy-feely person, too.
Anyways, Kakashi and the gloom duo (Sai being his usual unemotional self and Sasuke scowling in a true Uchiha fashion) left with Tazuna to the bridge, hoping for another boring day. Of course, Kakashi shouldn't be surprised to see the workers unconscious- and he wasn't. Zabuza was bound to be back sometime… Just, why did it have to be on a day he left his cute ningen obliterating machine back at home?!
And suuuure, why the heck not bring his helper with him?! It's not like his students aren't ready to face a kekkei genkai (which he just found about, when Zabuza began bragging) wielding Zabuza dedicated tool. Well, perhaps Sai was… but the blasted brat chose to stick with Tazuna and leave all the work to Sasuke. Probably hoping the Uchiha would be killed in the most painful way… Ok, so maybe those were Kakashi's wishes only.. And Minato-sensei'
The silver headed Jonin sighed, before revealing his Sharingan, deciding to finish quickly with Zabuza, so that he could save the foolish Uchiha who ran after the mask wearing kid; successfully managing to be entrapped in the ice dome. It wouldn't do to get his student killed, especially Sasuke. Seeing Itachi mad once was enough for Kakashi, thaknyouverymuch.
Fuck, this fog is annoying.
The black haired Uchiha cursed quietly… On one hand he was mad Naruto wasn't here so he could defeat the enemy with his loving smile… While on the other hand he was glad for this Haku loony not getting a chance to experience the greatness of Naruto an-Uchiha-to-be. Or, hurting him, y'know. Well, sure, Naruto had Kyuubi to protect him, so it's probable no one, none the less this bastard, could hurt him in any way…
However, Sasuke himself did not like Kyuubi one bit (more so for his protectiveness and selfishness over Naruto, than the rampaging and destroying Konoha… Not to mention the sole existence of Kyuubi inside of Naruto (another thing Sasuke will not forgive Kyuubi) means a constant threat to the blonde ditz); and he would like to keep the resurfacing of the Kyuubi to the minimum. There is just so many insults an Uchiha could take without responding in kind… which is impossible, because Sasuke can't dare to hurt the lovely face of Naruto's, Kyuubified or not.
Dodging yet another set of sharp and deadly senbon's, Sasuke's keen Sharingan-ed eyes caught a sight of the bright, orange blur… racing towards him. Just as he was to scold Naruto, but still open his arms for a warm hug, Haku shot a senbon towards the blonde, choosing Zabuza in his internal battle of cute boy versus his master.
Sasuke's breath stopped, seeing how Naruto seemed oblivious to the threat that was coming closer and closer to him. He knew, dammit he knew it well, that the pitiful senbon (even if he was layered in poison) would do nothing to his treasure…
Still he chose to jump ahead of the way, pushing Naruto behind him. Like a man, he only let a gurgul of pain when the needles hit him; making his body spasm in barely visible tremors and his mind cloud in nothingness.
"S'uke?"
A faint whisper in his right ear, gentle hands closing in on him… Sasuke blinked, turning his already heavy head towards the source of the wonderful warmth.
"Na-Naruto…"
The blonde traced with his fingers the little of blood that seeped from his friends mouth; feeling astounded and sad.
Sasuke rose his hand,cupping Naruto's soft cheek with it; giving his sunshine his most precious and beautiful smile.
"You must live… For..ever.."
With that he closed his eyes and Naruto could no longer feel his puls.
It took only a second, a scathing moment for Naruto to stop breathing and for Haku to notice something went terribly wrong with the blonde angel in fornt of him.
"Goddammit, not again!" Screamed the boy in a rough, out of this world voice.
Haku watched with a morbid fascination as the boys unique whisker marks extended andblackened, his eyes turned from the heavenly blue to the bloody red, his fangs sharpening, his hair fly wild like a halo and a wicked, red energy strated circling around him; in an almost protective, but deadly haze.
The boy that was, but wasn't Naruto (Haku couldn't explain it any way other, for the hateful look in those eyes could not belong to the blonde cutie he met the day earlier) stood up, letting the young Uchiha's body unceremonly slip to the ground. Focusing those firey (dangerous, deadly) eyes on Haku, he sighed.
"Why did you have to go and do that? Now the brat is all upset and won't stop screaming even though I keep telling him the Uchiha bastard is alive."
Haku smiled softly, noticing that no threat was coming from the monster in the boys body; for now that is.
"Because I have a person important to me. More valuable than anything in this world. For him, there is nothing I won't do; killing a person is just…."
"Yeah, yeah I know that already. Damn, this is really happening all over again!"
Haku decided to remain silent whilst the demon looking boy muttered something in his chin; leaisaruly strolling over the body beneath him.
"Well, I guess I can't kill you- the brat is so adamant in leaving you alive."
Haku was eternally gratefull for that piece of information and made sure to note it in the back of his head to kiss the boy sensless… Once he is normal again.
"And I guess I have to save Zabuza too…"
And bake him cookies. With lots and lots of chocolate in it.
"Kakashi."
Oh crap, it's the Kyuubified Naruto!
"Ku-chan." Kakashi saluted back. The Kyuubi scowled.
"Leave Zabuza alive. Naruto's orders."
Kakashi canceled the Lightning Cutter, knowing better than to disrespect the Kyuubi (who, might I add, is like a constant PMS-ing Kushina).
"Yo, Bandage Face."
"Hn?" Asked Zabuza, appearing right beside Kakashi. By the slight tremor in his hands that Kakahsi noted, he was scared shit of Kyuubi.
"Your boy toy is safe. Make sure to take better care of him and show some lovin' once in a while."
Zabuza nodded hastily.
"Gatoh will give you shit out of the money. So I suggest killing him and his goons and leaving Wave once and for all. If I remember correctly there is some group of kekkei genkai wielding people in Kiri that wish to kill Yagura also. Ask for Mei Terumi- she'll be a good Mizukage."
Zabuza gave a slight, almost invisible smile, befor eit turned into a fullout evil grin upon seeing Gatoh standing at the bridge with his ever lovely goons.
"It's show time, bitch!"
Kyuubi grinned and ushered Kakashi into action; before he let the control of the body to Naruto. H eknew it was dirty of him to sick ningens on his brother, but the only way Yagura was getting out of Obito's control was by dying.
"Raikiri!"
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
"Na… naruto…"
Sasuke was standing up on the newly finished bridge, helped up by Naruto (Kakashi offered help, but the Uchiha actually hissed at him, grabbing Naruto's hand in return), whilst the villagers said their goodbyes and Inari cried his eyes out because his Big Brother Naruto was leaving.
Haku and Zabuza already left the previous day, promising to come see how the brats grew once they free Kiri out of the dreadfull reign of the Mizukage. Naruto got himself cookies from Haku, helped by Tsunami's stove. And a few kisses. In return, Haku earn kicks out of the scowling, jealous Uchiha.
Sai was a bit put off Sasuke didn't die on the bridge, but continue to smile that fake smile of his and scheme more ways to get rid of the Uchiha.
Kakashi thanked the Gods this ended without having to spill blood and ruin the innocence of his cute genins. Or at least Naruto's. Minato-sensei would have his head if that happened.
As they wave back to the villagers of Wave, crossing the Great Naruto Bridge for the first time; all of them thought about how the heck will the report this to the Hokage?
