Chapter Two: Returning Home
They all waved goodbye to Tazuna and the village. Inari, in brand new clothes, smiled and yelled at Naruto to come visit.
It turned out Zabuza and Haku had a HUGE amount of money hidden away for the new Wielder. To buy new clothes and restock the food supplies in Wave hardly made a scratch.
As they walked down the road, Zabuza schooled Naruto in sword styles and Water Style jutsu he could use with the Shoulang, as well as tell him about his mom.
"Well, after I graduated, I was sent on a two year exchange mission to Whirlpool country. That was where I found out about the Shoulang. Your mom was my sensei and she told me about the seven families that migrated to Mist with one of the Wielders."
"What was she like?"
"Well, she was spunky, always cracking jokes, she knew over seventeen sword styles, and her Water and Wind affinities were so huge, she could make a tornado with a flick of her wrist, and a hurricane in a blink of an eye. Her speed was at the point that she could run over water with out using any chakra."
"Then she met your dad, and she went head over heels." he said, laughing.
"You know who my dad is?" Naruto said excitedly. Zabuza opened his mother but Kakashi shot him a glance that said 'you tell him you die' and he kept his mouth shut.
"I did, but for your own good, I'll let you figure out who it is."
Naruto frowned when suddenly, an idea hit him. "As the new wielder, I order you to tell me." Zabuza's mouth shook and he said something so quickly no one understood.
"There, I told you. Now leave the subject alone for a while."
Naruto crossed his arms and walked a little slower.
"So when are you going to teach me those sword moves? I'm tired of just hearing about them."
"When the Uchiha whelp can't copy your moves." Sasuke glared back at them with his Sharingan, making Naruto understand what Zabuza was talking about. Naruto moved closer to speak to him more quietly.
"I know Sasuke, and he will hide in a bush or something to watch us anyways." he glared at the back of Sasuke's head. "No technique is safe when he has the Kekkei Genkai that allows you to cheat off of others instead of being powerful on your own!" Sasuke turned around at the yelling and marched up to the blonde.
"You think just because you have some new weapons your better then me? I'm going to kill my brother Itachi one day, and you will be no match for me." they glared at each other for a second. Suddenly, Zabuza and Haku burst out laughing, drawing everyone's attention and snapping Sakura out of one of her love struck moments.
"You just got your Sharingan and you think you can kill Itachi?!" Haku laughed.
"What Haku is trying to say is, you don't stand a chance." Zabuza said, holding back his laughter. "By your age he was an ANBU captain and had a fully developed Sharingan. It's been, what, five years for him to train and get stronger. You'd die with one punch."
Sasuke glared and bared his teeth in a snarl.
"SASUKE WOULD KILL HIS BROTHER IN A HEARTBEAT CAUSE HE'S THE GREATEST NINJA IN THE VILLAGE!" yelled Sakura, before Naruto planted his foot in her face.
He started walking again, a smile plastered on his face.
(Two Days Later)
The group arrived at sunrise, right as the first guard shift opened the gate. Kakashi took the mission report to the Hokage, while Sakura stalked Sasuke who was heading home to sleep.
Zabuza grabbed Naruto's arm and hauled him towards the Hokage Mountain at breakneck speed. He hauled him all the way around the mountain until the village was no longer in sight.
He hauled Naruto through the forest until they came to an old rotten house with an iron gate around it. This house had suddenly appeared on day twenty years ago, and no one knew how.
Zabuza made a string of hand seals so quick, Naruto couldn't see them, and the house went through a rewind.
Holes patched up, grass shortened, stones reformed, bricks moved back into place, and the gates swung open, revealing a beautiful three story mansion wit the Uzumaki seal on it.
"This is your inheritance from your mother and her clan Naruto, the Uzumaki clan home, with the library holding techniques, styles, jutsu and the detailed history of the Shoulang and the seven families. There's also a dojo, bedrooms, a hot tub, and a bad ass armory!" Zabuza couldn't' keep the excitement out of his voice.
"This place…is my house?"
"Yes, it is." Naruto ran into the house, making the two guardians laugh.
Naruto ran into the library, a huge room filled with three levels of scrolls. Naruto ran up the steps to a section labeled 'sword styles' and grabbed a scroll labeled 'Fury of the Phoenix Style' and started to open it. The first thing he read was:
If you want to use this style, you have to have mastered the 'Claws of Wind Style' and 'Striking Flame Style' which requires a large control over Fire and Wind chakra.
Zabuza took the scroll from Naruto and put it back on the shelf Naruto got it from.
"I wouldn't attempt that if I was you. Even your mom didn't master it. She had just started when she found out she was pregnant if I remember correctly." Naruto made a mental note to one day learn that style and searched through the sword styles, pulling out three scrolls. 'Chakra Pulse Style', 'Claws of Wind Style', and 'Basic Sword Style' and put them on the table.
"I want to learn these."
"This style," Zabuza said, pointing at the 'Chakra Pulse Style', "needs Chuunin level chakra control and the 'Claws of Wind Style' can only be completed by someone who has finished the second level of their Wind Affinity training. But I can teach you the basic techniques."
Haku and Zabuza both found swords and began to teach Naruto the basic kata.
