I own neither Kingdom Hearts nor Naruto.


They silently continued into the forest. Soon they made there way to a large lake. Nobody said anything. Each member of the party walked. They were as tense as taunt bow strings. Naruto held his Keyblade in his hand, and his other was hidden in his robe...

Suddenly, his hand flashed out of his robe and three shiny objects flew toward one of the bushes on the side. Everyone gasped and prepared for something to attack from the bushes, instead it was only a small white rabbit, which ran away as fast as it could.

"Why did you do that, dobe? It was just a rabbit."

"Since when are rabbits white in summer?" Naruto asked.

Suddenly, the team seemed to tense even more. White rabbits in summer made no sense what so ever. Naruto quickly grabbed the projectiles and hid them back in his cloak before anyone could recognize them. Then a loud whirring sound was heard in everyone's ears. "Get Down!" Kakashi yelled. Suddenly a huge black blur came flying above everyone's head.

"Well, well, well," A dark, sadistic voice said, "a bunch if brats and a Jounin, either Konoha underestimates the me, or the man was too broke to afford any better."

Naruto jumped back to his feet. "Why underestimate something that won't even hurt a fly."

"You want to die, brat?" The voice said, revealing its owner to be a large man standing on an oversized sword.

"Maybe, it's a good day to die."

"Naruto, that's a bad idea." Kakashi said, "That is Zabuza Momochi (Sp?), the demon of the mist."

Naruto laughed, "Demon-Shemon. I am Naruto Uzumaki, the Keyblade Master. Nothing can take me on."

"Kakashi, the Copy-cat ninja, it appears you have a student who is too small for his ego. What nonsense is this, Keyblade Master, ha. No one can master that weapon, even if he could find one."

Naruto smiled big, "Cyclopes, do me a favor, let me take him."

"Naruto, you may have nearly bested me at the test, but I wasn't really trying."

Naruto still smiled, "You want to know a secret, Cyclopes? I wasn't trying either."

Suddenly Naruto became a blur. Suddenly, Zabuza was knocked from his perch, sword and all, and landed on the ground hard. Naruto didn't let him get up. With a quick uppercut-slash, Naruto launched Zabuza in the air. "Jetaga*!" Naruto cried, instantly he was launched into the air by a small explosion at his feet. Zabuza saw the boy approach him, but was unable to do anything as he watched the boy bring down his blade to his stomach. The force of the blow sent Zabuza rocketing back to the ground. Naruto landed, that smirk was still on his face. "I told you, Keyblade Master."

Zabuza stood up, "Keyblade Master, ha. If there was such a person they would not rely on cheap shots to take on an enemy."

"Cheap Shots?!" Naruto yelled indignantly. "Zabuza Momochi, You have just sealed your fate." Naruto prepared himself, and Zabuza did the same. There was silence for a short while when suddenly, both of them charged at each other. Sparks flew as steel hit steel, and the resounding clang echoed across the water.

Zabuza blocked each strike. "See, you're nothing but talk and cheap shots, if you actually fought a Jounin you'd lose any day."

Naruto kept smiling, "That's what you think. Areora!"

"ARGH!" Zabuza was launched backwards.

"Another one bites the dust." Naruto said as he walked away.

Disappointingly, Zabuza's dark laugh rang out. "Hahaha, you think I'm done, Gaki. I'm just getting warmed up. Kiri Gakure no Jutsu." Suddenly the battlefield was covered in a thick mist.

The rest of the team could no longer see the battle, except Hinata, whose bloodline limit allowed her to pierce through the mist. What she saw amazed her, Naruto, using a shadow clone, had taken out the two round weapons they had seen at the Hokage tower while he used the Keyblade. Zabuza's voice was heard through the mist. "So you know some tricks, but then so do I. Mizu bunshin no jutsu." Hinata saw another Zabuza rise from the mist.

"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" Naruto cried, creating dozens of clones. "You know what, I tired of fighting blind. Areoga!" Suddenly, all of the mist was blown away. Revealing the Narutos and the shields of wind that surrounded them.

"Argh!" Zabuza yelled again, hurt by the Areoga's offensive ability. The Mizu bunshin turned into a puddle.

"We play in my turf Zabuza."

Zabuza grunted. That was an absolute waste of Chakra. This kid was getting annoying. The Shadow Clones poofed out of existence and Naruto reached into his cloak and pulled out three long slender needle-like objects. (For those of you who have played CoM, or have the mangas, they're Larxene's weapons For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, google it.) In three smooth strokes, Naruto threw each one. Zabuza dodged each one so they hit the tree behind him. "Your aim stinks." Zabuza said, "You completely missed me."

Naruto still smiled. "Who said you were the target?"

Then Zabuza heard it. It sounded like electricity, and it was coming from behind him. He turned around to see the three needle-like blades sending bolts of electricity between them. Then the exploded in a cloud of lightning, catching Zabuza in the middle of it. Zabuza yelled a bone-chilling cry as the lightning shot through him. Finally, the lightning died down and Zabuza fell to the ground.

"Like I said, another one bites the dust." Naruto turned around and walked back to the spectators, amazement and respect shining in their eyes.

"Unbelievable," Kakashi thought, "he just took out the demon of the mist, and doesn't even have a scratch on him."

"Naruto-kun... you are so amazing." Hinata thought, lost for better words.

"How strong is Naruto?" Sasuke thought, amazed at how this blond boy took out Zabuza.

"I'm glad I hired them." Tazuna thought.

"I could defiantly get used to this." Naruto thought.

"I-I'm not done y-yet." Zabzua's voice said, breaking the mood, "I'm not going to be done in by some kid in a robe."

"Come on, You can't take me," Naruto said, facing his opponent, "I sent you to the ground, without a scratch on my person."

"I won't be done in by some kid in a robe."

"Ahh, good," Naruto said as he adopted the Wisdom form stance (he's not in wisdom form, he is just holding his keyblade as if he were (behind him)), "you're tough, that's just the way I like my meat."

Zabuza got back up and prepared himself again. They stood like that for a second before charging at each other, "SSSOOOOOORRRRRRRRAAAAAAA!" Naruto yelled as he approached the juggernaut.

They clashed. It was a fury of steel, fists, and kicks. It would have taken nothing less than the Sharingan to track the fight. Suddenly, Naruto went flying backwards, and hit a tree. "Ugh, not bad, but let's see if you can get two out of three." Naruto jumped back at the behemoth and the fight started agian. Again the fray was brutal, and again someone went flying, but this time, it was Zabuza. He landed on the water, but instead of sinking, he stood there.

"Wow, that's cool."

"Come on, Kid, come at me."

"I would, but, unlike some people, I can't walk on water."

"I guess I'll just have to come for you." Zabuza rushed him.

As soon as Zabuza touched the shore, Naruto disappeared. Zabuza quickly stopped. "Where are you?"

Then there was the sound of breaking earth. "Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu!" Zabuza was suddenly sucked into the ground. Naruto smiled a foxy grin, "You have two choices, 1, I obliterate you with the most powerful spell I have, or 2, you leave and never come back."

Zabuza couldn't believe it, this kid had taken him down.A Genin took him down. As Naruto ran through his list of conditions one thought ran through Zabuza's mind "My reputation is ruined."

"...I'll let you think on it." Naruto turned back and walked over to his friends. "Now that's how you take out a Jounin."

Kakashi just stood there, "I can't believe..."

"Believe it, Cyclopes."

Silence. This kid was absolutely incredible.

There was the sound of breaking earth behind them. "Look out!"

It took a second for anything to register, then his brain caught up. Zabuza had broken free and had rushed Naruto, hoping to take off his head. Kakashi, saw this and took out a kunai. That kunai was all that kept the huge blade of steel for taking off his head.

"You won't touch my student." Kakashi said.

"I won't have it said I was beat by a Genin."

"What if it was said you were beat by a Keyblade Master, that won't nearly be as bad."

"I can't, after all the things I've said about them. My reputation is ruined if I let that kid walk away."

"What a shame." Naruto said, "And here you had to take the cheap shot."

"Naruto, not now, let me handle him."

Zabuza inwardly quailed. He had forgotten all about Kakashi. He stood there at full strength while he fought Naruto. "Oh Crud."

And so the Jounin fought, slashing, cutting, and stabbing. Throwing shuriken, kunias, and other deadly weapons. It wasn't long before Kakashi revealed his other eye to have the Sharingan. It wasn't long after this that Sasuke threw a demon wind Shuriken at Zabuza but only succeeded in arming Zabuza. "Sasuke!" Kakashi yelled, "Stop helping me!"

Their fight led them to the water, there they began to fight even more aggressively. Finally, they began to go through a series of hand signs, however, the Genins saw the hand signs were exactly the same, a complete mirror image. Then as one voice they cried "Suiton:Suiryudan no Jutsu!" Suddenly, two dragons made entirely of water rose form the lake and smashed into each other. The dragons preformed a marvelous dance in the air before they destroyed each other.

Zabuza was breathing heavily, two absolute wastes of Chakra. That and all the Chakra induced punches. If he started another Jutsu, he probably wouldn't win.

"Blizzaga!" Naruto cried, freezing the lake, and Zabuza's feet to it. Then he quickly went through some hand signs. "Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" Two Naruto's appeared. They quickly ran amongst each other to confuse the enemy before one of them threw his keyblade. It landed on the ice. The Naruto that threw the keyblade quickly jumped on it, riding it like a snowboard. The two other Narutos jumped onto the first one's back. And in unison the shouted "Trinity Limit! Sub-Zero Friendship Barrage!"

Zabuza stood there, unable to move as the three Narutos came at him. Zabzua felt his skull being crushed. Then he felt as though he were flying. He opened his eyes long enough to see Naruto flying above him. He swung the Keyblade toward Zabuza's chest, and caught him on the key end. Then, using the key as a lever, he threw Zabuza back to the shore. Then, as he watched Zabuza fly, he poofed out of existence. Zabuza landed against a tree.

He tried to stand when two senbons seemed to grow from his neck. He fell to the ground. A young boy, maybe a little younger than Naruto came by, he wore a mask. "I thank you, I have been trying to take him for three weeks now." He bent over Zabuza when a flat piece of metal came between them.

"I want his head." Naruto said, "I fought him the longest, the bounty should be mine, besides, you won't need it."

"I-I-I"- He disappeared with the body.

"Come on! I deserve it!"

"Relax Naruto, come on, we have a bridge builder to protect." He took five steps before landing face down on the ground. "Ouch."


They laid back at Tazuna's house, enjoying the peace after the fight. Kakashi explained that his Sharigan, being transplanted, sucked more chakra than if he were born with it. When asked why he had the eye as a transplant Kakashi said simply this, "That's none of your business. Don't ask again."

Naruto got up, "Cyclopes, I have an experiment, I want to see if my healing spell cures Chakra exhaustion. If it does then I may have discovered a way for all of Konoha's ninjas to be near endless chakra supplies."

Kakashi's eye was wide, amazed at the thought. "I guess you could try it."

Naruto readied his Keyblade, "Curaga!"

There was a green aura around Kakashi and he was completely engulfed in it. Then it faded. He sat for a while, mentally checking his systems. "I feel a little better, but it's not really worth much."

"Oh well, I tried."

"Yeah." Suddenly Kakashi felt something at his eye. His Sharingan eye. He made a note to check it later.

"Well, in the meantime, we better get you training."

"T-training for what sensei?" Hinata asked.

"Zabuza's not dead."

This shocked all of the gathered Genin. "B-but how? We saw those s-senbons go straight through his neck."

"Senbon needles are used for acupuncture." Naruto said, trance like, "He could have been placed in a death-like state."

Kakashi nodded, again amazed. "Yes, actually."

Naruto shook his head, smiled a slightly embarrassed smile, "Wow, where'd that come from?" If anyone there had the power to read minds, they would have heard him tell the fox in his stomach to never put words in his mouth again.

"I think it'll take a week for him to recover, so I'm going to train you guys. Naruto, I remember you said you couldn't walk on water, so I'm going to teach you the first step to learning it, tree-walking, we'll start tomorrow, but for now, enjoy your time off."

When the kids had left Kakashi dared to take his headband off, he noticed something was different, he closed his normal eye and waved his hand in front of his face, instead of seeing his hand slowly make its way across the field of vision, it looked normal. That scared him, he brought his headband really close to face, and found that his eye was an onyx black, just like Obito's. He panicked, was his Sharingan gone? He quickly gathered some chakra behind his eye, again he waved his hand in front of his face. It returned to the normal slow moving vision of the Sharingan. He sighed. Then something hit him, did Naruto's Curaga do this? Did it complete connect his Sharingan eye so that it was completely under his control? He made a note to look into it, turned off his eye, covered it, then fell asleep.


The next day, the team was eating breakfast when a young boy came in. "Why do you even try. Gato will kill, you're fighting a losing battle just give up."

"Not on your life kid." Naruto said.

"You're just an idiot. Acting all tough, he'll kill you." He turned to leave, "He'll kill you all." He left.

"Hey Tazuna," Naruto said, "Who was that ray of sunshine?"

"My grandson, Inari."

"Wow, not the encouraging type is he?"

Tazuna just sighed.


The training began. After Kakashi gave a short speech on how this exercise is great for chakra control, and very handy in battle, the kids began. Hinata almost ran directly up to the top of the tree the very first time. She falter slightly. Kakashi noted this, she faltered not because of control, but lack of Chakra. Oh well, this exercise would help with that anyway.

Naruto nearly destroyed the tree with the first step, but he seemed to correct that instantly, without any scolding. That's interesting. Normally a student was forced to try again, but he continued to climb the tree, adjusting his chakra to fit the purpose.

Sasuke made it halfway up before overloading the chakra in his feet to send him flying off the tree, and yet the Uchiha prodigy seemed rather cool in doing so.

"Okay, guys you keep doing that and I'll go guard Tazuna in the meantime. Don't stop until I get back."

"You got it Cyclopes." Naruto yelled as he walked up the tree with some difficulty.


An hour later, they were still at it. Naruto was running at some trees, then turning at the last second, the others didn't know why but when he went through with the running, he went up really high and with the greatest ease. They envied him for this, what they did not know was Naruto was getting some inside help. "No, that's too much." Naruto turned away from the tree he had been running too and readjusted the chakra in his feet. "Not quiet enough." Again, Naruto avoided the tree and chose another target while adding a slight amount of chakra to his feet. "That's good enough for now."

Naruto dashed up the tree, and accidentaly ran passed the top of the tree. "Oh crud!" Naruto quickly teleported to the ground. "Whew, that could have ended badly."

Hinata walked over, "N-n-Naruto...?"

"Huh? Oh, what is it Hinata?"

"How do you go up so high, without losing your footing?"

"Well, in your case, I don't think it's a control problem."

"T-then what could it be?" she asked.

"I think it may be a small chakra reserve."

"Oh." she knew her reserve was kind of small.

"Don't worry, this exercise helps with that two just trying standing on the tree for a bit, that should help."

"T-thank you N-Naruto."

"No problem." He said as he prepared to run it again.

"Ok, now I'm not going to tell you how much you have, you're going to have to learn how much is too much on your own."

"Yes, Kyuubi-sensei."

Naruto tried his luck, and ran three quarters up the tree before he lost his footing. He gracefully jumped back to the ground. "A little too less."


Kakashi came back to find two of his students already at the top of the trees. Sasuke wasn't one of them. He was very impressed. "Good work, guys. Naruto, you'll guard Tazuna tomorrow while I watch these two. Hinata, you did perfect the control, now I want you to work on building your resevers, so instead of walking up the tree, just stand against it." Kakashi turned to his final student, "You keep up with the walking. You should have it down in two days time."

Sasuke sighed.


They sat down to dinner. Sasuke glared a glare at Naruto. It seemed to speak for him, "I will be stronger than you."

Naruto held the glare a wore a smile on his face, "I'd love to see you try."

Tazuna's daughter came and gave them each a bowl. Sasuke dove into it. Naruto took his time. Sasuke asked for another bowl. Naruto still took his time. Sasuke asked for fourths. Naruto graciously took seconds. Sasuke felt like he was about to burst at sixths. Naruto continued his slow and steady pace. Sasuke slowly and painfully placed anther spoonful in his mouth. He vomited. He dares a glance at the number of bowls that Naruto ate, he had the same number of bowls, and then asked for more. Sasuke hung his head. The score was one to nothing.


The next day they got up for breakfast. When Inari came down he went into another speech on how it was all completely useless. Naruto ignored him, but it was starting to get on his nerves. After breakfast, Naruto left with Tazuna for a boring day at the bridge.


The man walked into the dark room. He had an air of power about he walked up to the boy who looked to much like a girl to even be considered male. In front of him lay Zabuza, the mighty "Demon of the Mist".

"Zabuza, you disappoint me."

Zabuza watched him as he circled the bed.

"They were three children and a Jounin. The Jounin was the only threat, and what do you do? You lose a fight with that robed kid."

Zabuza remained silent.

"I'm going to give you one more chance, Zabuza. If you fail, you will be replaced." To show exactly what he meant, he snapped his fingers. In a second, a dark figure appeared from the floor, it was small, hunch-backed, and had two bright yellow eyes. "And they don't ask for pay."

The creature disappeared back into the floor. "Just remember that, Zabuza."

When the door closed behind him, Gato walked back down the hallway. He enterd a dark, foreboding room, and he said, "And they will follow my every command?"

"As long as you steep yourself in darkness." said a dark voice.

"Good, then I can fire that idiot Zabuza after he takes out the Jounin."

"But remember, don't steep yourself in darkness too long, the Heartless consume the careless."

"Thank you." Gato said then he turned to leave. As soon as the door shut, the other man stood, revealing a pale face with reptilian, yellow eyes. "And so Darkenss enters."


Dun, dun, duuuuuuun. Chapter 5!

Okay, just a couple of notes,

*Jet, Jetara, Jetaga: original spell, a modified Explosion spell. Instead of creating a huge, deadly explosion, This creates a small explosion at the feet, allowing for a large jump, if the jump is also pumped with Chakra, it could allow the user to jump a mile high.

Second note: Kakashi didn't use the Sharingan very long, and then Naruto's Curaga restored enough chakra so he could walk upright and even Guard Tazuna if needed.
