Kyuubi no Kitsune

Disclaimer I don't own Naruto. The creator of Naruto owns it and I don't. I hope you like this chapter and I hope that I get many reviews from my faithful reviewers. So this is the chapter where Naruto confronts Zabuza and Haku. Or more precisely meets them and gets strange vibes in his mind.

Haku

Naruto was getting bored. He had to do jobs that weren't suited for a ninja of his calibre. Kyuubi had assured him that he should at least be able to do an A rank mission with the knowledge that was within his mind and the jutsu he could do.

The jutsu that were Kinjutsu were the jutsu that he could do best. Youkai Jutsu were also very good under his control as he was able to call up a Kage Bunshin and endow it with the spirit of Kyuubi who took that opportunity. She now created a habit of making herself a Kage Bunshin and appearing in different places.

One time she had surprised him by jumping onto him while he was in the shower. A wrestling match had ensued between the Kitsune and Naruto which had ended in Kyuubi overpowering Naruto by a great margin and him ending up getting slammed into the wall. Iruka had looked at him strangely when he entered a few seconds after that and Naruto had just grumbled something about women being too strong for their own good and had gone back into the shower and had forcibly thrown out Kyuubi who slammed into Iruka who got a nosebleed after looking at her big tits.

When he had come back to the land of the living he only saw Naruto standing there looking sheepish at him. With the vivid image of breasts still in his head Iruka asked Naruto:

"Who was that woman Naruto? I don't think I had the pleasure to meet her yet. And please tell me how the hell she got into your shower."

Naruto just stared at him and said:

"It's none of your business how she got into my shower. And I don't even know how she got in there usually she just sneaks into bed with me. Damn hentai always trying to get me to sleep with her."

Iruka just looked stupefied at the scene in front of him. The apparent dobe was now holding a small conversation with him about a pervert woman who sneaked into his bed. Since when had the kid been so smart as to actually complain about those things and not just shrug them off as ignorance? Then Iruka finally processed the conversation entirely and said:

"Why would she sleep with you?"

A strange grin made its way to the Chuunin's face and Naruto just smirked and said:

"Sexual Intercourse is often referred as Sleeping With Someone. That's exactly what she tried to do. Don't worry Iruka sensei. I'll keep her under control."

Kyuubi snickered within Naruto's mind:

"He doesn't have a chance in hell if you ask me. He couldn't even stand un to me if I were in heat. Kitsune often need sex for a long time and I think that you need some release soon."

Then she retreated from his thoughts and Naruto just said:

"Don't worry Iruka sensei. I'll take care of her. Are we going for Ramen?"

Then Naruto cast a Genjutsu around Iruka which would make him believe that everything was just a figment of his imagination. It was a cool Jutsu that had been taught to him by someone who hadn't stated his name to Naruto. Naruyto had learned it at a very young age. The only thing he could remember from that mysterious sensei was that he had yellow snakelike eyes and black long hair and wore a Jounin uniform and that it was a tall man.

Naruto just used it on Iruka and got a mental applause from Kyuubi and just smiled seemingly at nothing. Then he decided that there would need to be some entertainment and when he got back to his home he noticed several things. That kakashi was relaxing in one chair while reading his book. Naruto just sniffed disdainfully and said:

"Ne Kakashi-sensei. Why are you here?"

Kakashi looked at Naruto and said:

"Naruto. Hokage-sama has decreed that we are to do a C rank mission since we have already done all our assigned missions for this week. We are to protect a man named Tazuna and we will be expected to leave within ten minutes. Pack your bags and we'll be off."

Naruto nodded and Kyuubi came out in a Kage Bunshin. Her nine tails swung in the air as they flashed and started to fill a small backpack which was now filled with Kunai and other shinobi gear. Soon it was packed and she smirked at him and kissed him on the lips and then disappeared in a poof of smoke.

Naruto looked at the place where she had last been and then sighed and slung the backpack over his shoulder and noticed that Kakashi was about to leave and said:

"KAKASHI SENSEI WAIT FOR ME!"

Kakshi nodded at his loud student never even suspecting that it might be an act.

When they reached the gate Sakura and Sasuke were already there with Tazuna. The fat man looked at Naruto and said:

"Is that little boy going to protect me? I should have hired a team which is more up to the task of protecting me."

Kakashi just shrugged while restraining Naruto who was frothing at the mouth with rage. Of course it was all an act but it seemed real. While threatening the old man with death threats and other things Naruto just studied the man and noticed that no fear was emitted from the man. Ah well he'd get his chance to make the man fear him.

There were two Chuunin from Kirigakure hidden in a small puddle of water but Naruto didn't pay attention to it. He didn't want to rouse suspicion by knowing about them. As they came up behind him he pretended to act scared like a Genin. It didn't matter very much because they were defeated by Kakashi easily. The trip continued and Naruto found himself wishing that something exciting would happen. He looked around for something to do and saw suddenly the shape of a man coming through the trees at speeds of Jounin variety towards them.

Naruto knew that this should be a good time to finally get some action and he ducked as a giant sword came from the mist and Kakashi's quickly yelled command to duck saved the lives of Sakura and Sasuke and Tazuna. Naruto just looked at the man who had caught the sword again and with a smile being hinted at on his lips nhe grinned a smile not unlike the Kitsune which was sealed within him. It didn't have to bed very entertaining to fight with this man but he knew that he'd have his fun.

Kyuubi hinted at the presence of someone else nearby and Naruto took a look at the trees and noticed a Kirigakure Hunter Nin and relaxed a little. If they were on that guy's trail then he didn't need to show much of his arsenal.

As Kakashi ordered them to guard Tazuna a plan formed into Naruto's mind. If kakashi somehow got distracted it would allow him to attack the strange guy. Nukenin or not the man must have some technique to help him of course Kyuubi could lend her eyes and let him copy it. It was even better then the Sharingan as it allowed him to copy those techniques easily.

When the battle was joined Naruto paid close attention to the techniques used and didn't think very much of it. They were just using techniques that normal Chuunin could also use. When kakashi upped the ante a little he was captured within a dome of water and Sasuek took that as his clue to attack and when Zabuza conjured up some clones Sasuke managed to slash one of them and it fell apart in a watery splash. Sasuke knew that he should get out of the range of the sword that Zabuza had and was trying to work out a plan to free his teacher. He would learn those techniques that they used even if it killed him.

Naruto sighed as he began to gather his chakra. It didn't matter very much to hi if his team-mates died. They were just a distraction along the way to greatness. If the greatness was through terror then so be it.

He watched as Sasuke threw a shuriken and then switched himself with the shuriken and became it through a henge. Then he was evaded by Zabuza and then he threw a shuriken at the man causing him to evade it and release Kakashi.

The two Jounin fought with each other and no victor seemed to be decided and suddenly Zabuza was hit in the neck by a pair of Senbon needles. Naruto looked at the person who had thrown the needles and immediately sensed something off. This person didn't carry the same feelings of anger for Zabuza but instead they carried determination to accomplish a goal. He felt himself probing deeper within the strange person's feelings and found a desire to be loved. And also a sadness too deep to describe.

The hunter nin took Zabuza's body away and Tazuna guided them to his home where they were greeted by a young woman who apparently was his daughter. They were treated well and Naruto was shown a room where he could sleep with Sasuke. Naruto didn't have any intention of hearing the boy rant in his sleep so Naruto suggested that he sleep o the roof or something. Before the kind woman could say anything a boy that seemed to be around 8 interjected with some comment about Naruto and company all going to die at Gatou's hands.

Naruto had given a response in his usual style namely shouting something about him beating everyone and becoming Hokage and that the kid should believe in himself.

The next days had been filled with exercises to control Chakra. Naruto just acted like he couldn't control his chakra while in truth he was very adept in controlling it. Sasuke and he were progressing along the same lines of both increasing in skill every time they ran up those trees and fell down. Naruto just sighed and tried to climb up again. He could do it perfectly but didn't want them to know about it. He needed to keep his cover until he was sure that he wouldn't be crossed.

The sixth day after the meeting with Zabuza was a strange one. Naruto had given up on his training and said that he'd rather relax for a while until that Zabuza dude got back. Kakashi had told them that the hunter nin was an accomplice of Zabuza who had taken him somewhere to recover.

Naruto looked at the girl that came up to him while wearing a pink kimono. She had her hair cascading over her back. She looked cute sand Nartuto smiled as he looked at her and said:

"Hello."

She greeted him politely and Naruto couldn't help but ask her why she was here:

"Why are you here? I don't think it's safe for a pretty girl like you out here."

She smiled at him and said:

"I can protect myself. Tell me something: Have you ever had a person who is so precious that you want to protect him or her with your life?"

Naruto briefly thought about it and said:

"Yes. She and I are closer then anyone. She and I are bound together by an ancient Jutsu. I know that she loves me and I love her with my soul. She's been a mother to me and a lover. She is closer to me then anyone else at the moment. With time it could change but we'll always be bound to each other."

She looked at him strangely and said:

"I hope that I and my precious person can also be so happy. I would like to protect him with my life if the situation called for it. He was the only one to accept me for who I am."

Naruto just looked at her and said:

"Is he Momochi Zabuza?"

Haku's eyes momentarily widened in shock but then narrowed:

" So you know about my precious person? Do you know why I saved him from your sensei?"

Naruto smiled at her and said:

"The only thing that I know is that your master isn't a real Demon. The only Demon I know of was the Kyuubi no Kitsune. Why you follow him and saved him is easily explained. You care for him. Don't worry I won't tell anything of this to Kakashi. He probably is off training the Uchiha. He doesn't know the mental trouble that I go through every moment."

Haku relaxed slightly and said:

"Well then what do you intend to do about the battle that would inevitably follow the confrontation between my master and your Sensei. If he tries to kill my master then I would have to rescue him."

Naruto looked at her with a serious look on his face and said:

"As long as I draw breath I shall protect everyone who is intent on harming anyone close to me. Even strangers I would protect. But no Konoha citizen will be safe from my wrath. They have made me out to be a monster. If they make me that way then I shall become one. After all my precious person is the Youkai sealed within my stomach."

Haku processed most of the information that had been given in the conversation and she paid heed to the words that the Kyuubi was one of the only Youkai that the boy was familiar with and added it all up together and came to one conclusion that was immediately spoken:

"You have the great Kitsune Youkai Kyuubi sealed within your stomach? They sealed it within a child? Indeed that would be called a precious person. Even if it is a Youkai it still can be called a precious person. But we are slipping of topic. Tell me your name."

Naruto nodded and said:

"My legal name is Uzumaki Naruto. My personal name I give myself is Naruto the Youkai King as in essence I am royalty with the Queen of Youkai sealed within me."

Kyuubi added something in his head:

"That's the most gorgeous Youkai Queen for you Kit. No matter what you say about me my title is Kyuubi, Queen of the Nine Hells."

Naruto frowned and said:

"Her official title is Kyuubi, Queen of the Nine Hells."

Haku just looked at him and said:

"Well my name is Yukikage Haku. Pleased to meet you Youkai-san."

Naruto grinned at her with his foxy grin and said:

"Call me Naruto. And the Youkai-san can be left away as I don't use that title yet."

Haku just smiled kindly and said:

"When do you expect to be able to care for your precious person if you have no physical person to care for? No love for him or her just for some spectral being within you and bound by seals."

Naruto thought about it and said:

"Well then if I got a girlfriend or someone like that I would be able to care for him or her. Then they would be called a precious person."

Their conversation about precious person and various things progressed until the sun was high up in the air and Haku remembered that she should go back to her master. After all it wouldn't do for her master to remain without his tool for long.

When she got back to Zabuza she got an inquisitive look and immediately told the man what had happened. Momochi Zabuza was a clever man. He was able to kill all the Genin's of the Mist exam without him being one. That gave him his nickname Demon of the Mist. He opened his eyes after he had closed them to think better. Then he said:

"So it seems that the student of Sharingan Kakashi is quite averse against his own village and has a Youkai sealed within him. Hmm maybe I could use him as another tool. Come on Haku let's move and kill the old man and get our money."

She nodded and within mere seconds they were gone.

Naruto in the meanwhile had come upon the idea to create his own comic book which he eagerly started working on. He knew that it wasn't perfect but at least with kyuubi's help he could try:

"You need to accentuate the busts of the female characters a little bit Naru-kun. That way it would be far more effective then simply making them as huge as possible. There are some men who like that but I don't. I like women who have breasts that are nice and soft and not like melons. Like mine for instance."

She jumped once and made her breasts bounce once. Naruto just smiled and drew the motion within the comic and soon the lead character Akiko was clothed within Jounin uniform and was currently engaged in battle with a group of Stone-nin. She defeated them and when she got back she got 'rewarded'. The drawings were of such detail that Naruto forgot to add the normal censure like it was usual in perverted books.

When Kakashi came to see where his loudmouth student was he was drawn to the sight of Naruto drawing within a small notebook.

"What are you drawing?"

Naruto turned around and saw his Jounin-sensei. He looked at the man and said:

"Just some drawings Kakashi-sensei."

He hid the book within the folds of his clothes and then got up and said:

"When are you going to teach me a new Jutsu, Kakashi-sensei?"

"Sometime later Naruto. Now let's go back to Tsunami-san and Tazuna-san."

"Hai Sensei!"

They went back to the bridge builder's home and Naruto ate a lovely meal prepared by Tsunami. The next day would be the one that Zabuza was going to show up and Naruto was almost giddy with excitement.

He looked at the house where he had been left because he had to take care of some things. The hiding of his comic wasn't very easy.

He went outside and saw two men harassing tsunami. A grin gre won his face and within two milliseconds the men had a kunai lodged right between the eyes. They fell over dead and Naruto just grinned and his eyes turned red.

"Let's give them a taste of the power of Naruto and Kyuubi-chan!"

Naruto grinned and he jumped onto a tree and started to run as fast towards the bridge that was being built. When he got there he looked at the scenery and noticed Kakashi fighting with Zabuza and Sakura guarding Tazuna. The weak child was even looking scared at the prospect of having to fight a Jounin nukenin. Naruto just looked at the scene of Sasuke trying to fight the pretty girl named Haku. A smile appeared on his face as it seemed that Sasuke was going to be beaten.

With a speed that was close to being a blur he jumped into the mirrors and he looked at every reflection of Haku.

"A pity that we are on opposite sides. It would be nice to see you in another situation but this means that I got to fight."

Naruto got in a ready stance and was about to launch an assault on the mirrors but Sasuke just looked at him and said:

"Stuff it dobe. I can handle this guy by myself."

Naruto watched as Sasuke was being filled with senbon needles like some sort of pincushion and he smiled:

"Too bad that you don't have a Youkai within you Haku. It would have been a pretty nice thing to see them duel."

Haku just gave a mysterious smile and said:

"This Technique is the Demonic Ice Mirrors. I got one sealed up within me but it isn't very visible to the outside. It was done by sealing it within my Inner Coils. I think that yours is being bound by some sort of death Seal am I correct?"

Naruto just nodded after getting a small mental fragment of comment by Kyuubi involving something about sealing methods. When he saw icy spikes come from the mirror he knew that it wasn't very healthy to be caught within them and with a piercing yell the sound vibrations shattered the ice and the Chakra from the Kyiuubi shot out from they seal and demolished the mirrors.

Haku tried to drop down on Naruto with an ice spike to impale him. He looked at her and suddenly Kyuubi spoke up in his mind:

"Want me to help you a little. This could be fun. She has one of the Ice Dragons within her if I'm not mistaken. It looks like the coils are frozen. It didn't look odd to me at first when we met her but now it all clicks together. Let's warm the girl up a little."

A manifestation of Chakra appeared and nine tails wrapped around the girl falling down at Naruto. It looked odd to see a girl of around 15 being wrapped up within blood red chakra but to the spectators it was a horrific sight. They waited until the girl was ripped apart by the chakra but that moment never came. Instead the clothes incinerated by some unseen heat and the air was sucked out from the region making Haku fall into unconsciousness due to the sudden loss of air and pressure of air.

Naruto looked around and felt the chakra of people standing just on the opposite side of the bridge. Zabuza and Kakashi got distracted and looked at the battle Kakashi was still in an attacking pose.

Gatou talked about getting rid of some nukenin thrash and Zabuza took offence to his slight jab at Haku:

"Pity she was so rude as to break my arm. I'm sure the men would love to have her as a slave for their hard work."

Naruto's and Zabuza's eyes twitched at that statement and intense killing intent came from the both of them although Naruto toned his down somewhat. It wouldn't do to make the prey die of a heart attack.

Zabuza was the first to move. With an al most bestial growl he charged at Gatou with a kunai he got from Naruto who had thrown it in some attempt to hurt the man. Although Naruto hadn't really aimed to kill the man had grabbed it with his mouth and he charged into the crowd of men and slashed while getting cut by a blade that one of the hirelings wielded.

Finally Zabuza got to Gatou and looked into the man's eyes. Then he cut upwards and Gatou's neck was sliced open. Chakra moulded itself into a pattern very reminiscent of a demon and Gatou fell into the waves. Zabuza collapsed. Naruto looked at the horde of men that were currently about to go and destroy the country of Waves.

Kakashi made about 50 Kage Bunshin and Naruto did the same. The hirelings looked at the horde of clones and gulped. It would be suicide to go against so many at once. A crossbow bolt imbedded itself in front of the hirelings and Inari appeared with a horde of Wave Country men armed with pitchforks and other weaponry.

The men fled for their lives and jumped into the water just to get away. Naruto smiled as he knew that Kakashi deserved some rest. He looked around and saw Haku's limp body. He went over and picked up her unconscious body. He got out of his jacket and draped it over her body. She shouldn't get sick or else she might die.

"Sentimental, Kit? It seems that you carry some sort of affection for the girl. As long as she doesn't kill you its okay with me."

Naruto just gave a wry smile and he looked aroundto see if Pinky was somewhere and there he saw her fussing over Sasuke. Couldn't the pink bitch see that her precious Sasuke wasn't in need of her care? Tazuna was the one who needed to be protected at all costs.

He carried Haku over towards the motionless body of Momochi Zabuza. He looked at the man and sighed. How the hell was he going to explain this to the girl? Sorry but your master died. Will you commit suicide or would you let us kill you?

He noticed the slight heaving of the chest area that indicated that Zabuza was still alive. He looked at it and said:

"Zabuza-san can you hear me?"

The man lifted his head weakly and said with a voice that was totally unlike his normal confident one:

"You are the kid that beat Haku. Come to finish me off kid?"

Naruto juswt shook his head and said:

"No. I know that you are going to die and can do nothing to help you get better. All I want to do is give Haku one last chance to say goodbye."

He did a medical jutsu he had learned from Kyuubi to wake the unconscious or the drained of energy and let tehm work once again for fifteen minutes but then they would need to rest for a day. Haku awoke and looked at the sky. Then the memories came back and she looked around and saw her master.

"Zabuza-sama…"

He looked at her and said:

"Haku… My end is drawing near. I want you to go and live your life to the fullest. What's your name kid? Uzukmaki Naruto I presume it is."

At Naruto's nod Zabuza continued:

"I'd like you to take care of Haku for me. Care for her well and make her happy. That's all I ask."

Haku had tears streaming down her face and Naruto made a small soothing noise. He looked at Zabuza again and said:

"I'll make sure that you get buried properly and make sure that it isn't desecrated by those hunter-nin. Zabuza-san, I'll take care of Haku like she were one of my precious persons and in time she may become just that. I hope you will find happiness in the afterlife."

Zabuza closed his eyes and breathed his last breath. A smile was on his face and Naruto closed the man's eyes. He stared at the body for a few seconds before the tears came. Kyuubi and Naruto might be cold and heartless but this was such a touching moment that it would stay etched within their memories forever. The love for a student that was so overpowering that the teacher would risk his life for the student.

Zabuza was buried without the knowledge of Kakashi. Haku had hid the moment that Sasuke awoke with Zabuza's body and the next day while Kakashi was recovering Zabuza was buried in a private ceremony just between Naruto and Haku.

He looked at the grave which was marked by the huge katana that Zabuza used and then began to make Demonic Seals. Soon a barrier appeared around the grave which would only allow 2 people inside: Naruto and Haku. If they died it would become totally sealed off to any human while keeping the grave intact against anyone and against time.

Naruto told Haku that she should wait in the surroundings and then join up with the group later after she got a change of clothing. The clothes that she used for battle were just a little bit too familiar to Sasuke and Kakashi. With her hair long and in a different style then it should be okay for her to travel with them.

Haku nodded and got the pretty kimono out of the bag she ahd with her.

"Is this good? Then I can wear my hair long and without something keeping it up."

Naruto nodded:

"See you later Haku-chan."

This was only the beginning of the turbulent times that Konoha would face when the Kyuubi no Kitsune would reawaken

A new chapter and a pretty long one at that. I'd love to see your review for this one.

Next chapter will feature the road home and a catfight between Pinky and the pretty girl!
