I don't own NARUTO
Chapter 2
Tazuna's house
Haku and Naruto were talking in Tazunas living room, talking about funny moments she had with Zabuza, and some of his jobs as a missing-nin.
Sasuke was recovering in their room, while Sakura and Kakashi where taking their turn guarding Tazuna.
Suddenly Naruto got serious and he spoke to Haku.
"Haku, you told me why you where hated in Kiri... I need to tell you this to know if I can trust you" Haku looked at him solemly "Well you know when Kyubi attakced Konoha, the Fourth Hokage had to seal it away, and he sealed it in me"
Haku looked surprised "You are like Utakata-nii"
"Huh?" Naruto elocuently responded
"Utakata-nii, he is the container of the Rokubi" she responded.
Naruto was ecstatic, Haku didn't hated jinchuuriki's, she even knew someone like him.
"He helped a lot of the bloodline purge survivors, he said he identified with us, he even helped Zabuza-sama with the coup de etat taking down Mangetsu, the leader of the seven swordsman of the mist," Naruto looked awed "He travelled with us for a couple of months after that, but when the guys with black cloaks and red cloaks started targeting him, we separated"
"Oh, I would have liked to meet him" Naruto looked dissapointed
"Naruto-sama, there's something you should know about kubikiri-hocho" Haku stated
"What is it?" The blonde asked
"Well the seven swords of the hidden mist weren't forged by Masamune, it's something they tell to misguide the enemies, the truth is that they were forged by the first Jinchuuriki of the Rokubi"
"COOL!"
"And all of them react differently to demonic chakra, I know Zabuza-sama helped Utakata-nii to train his control over the Rokubi using Kubikiri-hocho, but I don't really know how"
"Don't worry Haku-chan, I'll Master Kubikiri-hocho in no time, believe it!"
Haku smiled at him.
"Oh, and Kubikiri-hocho has a normal skill too"
"Really?" this was getting better and better.
"Yes, when it is broken or damaged, it can repair itself by consuming the iron of the blood of whoever you cut" Seeing his confused look she simplified " If it breaks, just cut somebody and it will repair itself using their blood" Naruto looked a little disturbed by the bloody ability of his new sword, but then he thought that with that skill he will not need to repair it as long as he killed something with it, considering his low budget this was the best sword he could get.
"And Haku you told me you didn't wanted to become a shinobi, what did you wanted to become?" Naruto asked
"I did not really knew, but have always been good with medical stuff, so I think I'll like to become a medic" The girl told him
"Cool, don't worry, Oji-san always says that Konoha needs more medics, so I don't think they will reject you"
Haku smiled at him "Oh Naruto-sama, how do you feel for training?"
"Just bring it on!"
"Ok, because Zabuza-sama named you as his heir, so you need to master the silent killing technique, so lets go to practice before Kakashi-san arrives" Haku stated
They went to the clearing where he learnt the tree climbing exercise. They sit down in meditative poses
"Ok, the first step for the silent killing technique is locating the enemy with just the sound, for this you need to expand you ear sense, so place your headband over your eyes, and don't open them, focus in the sound of my breathing" Haku began
Naruto oddly did as instructed, Haku seeing his whisker marks found them cute and couldn't help but trace them without really touching them.
"Haku-chan don't touch my whisker marks, they are really sensitive" the blonde saidbecause he felt tickles.
Haku was startled, normally a jinchuuriki's physical trait wasn't really functional, but seems like Naruto got a functional one, and it helped for this kind of training.
"Naruto-sama, I really don't touched your whisker marks, I just passed my hand near them" Haku told him
"What do you mean?"
"I think you can feel trough them" To explain she passed her hand near his whisker marks, then she touched them and he felt the difference. "Once you finish expanding your ear sense we will work to expand your ability with the whisker marks, it will give you an advantage"
"Is this a bloodline?" The blonde asked
"I don't know, but it is said that all bloodlines come from jinchuuriki" The ice user answered.
Naruto made a silent vow to maintain his whisker sense (How he named it) secret, he didn't wanted the villages to think the kyubi was influencing him.
And they continued this kind of training until they had to go to Konoha. Their trip was uneventful, Sakura was between feeling jealous and awed by Haku, by how powerful she is.
Sometime later, Konoha
Kakashi, Naruto and Haku were talking with the Hokage after he dismissed Sakura and Sasuke.
"Well Naruto, first I want to ask you why should I not throw your friend out of the village, she is a missing nin from Kiri, accepting her can cause us some problems" Hiruzed said as a matter of fact.
"Hokage-sama"Naruto began, the sandaime was shocked, when they where in Wave, Kakashi beat the rules for accepting foreing shinobi on Naruto, he had to be polite "First, she was never registered as a ninja on Kiri, she was too young and the bloodline purge was very intense, second, during their missing-nin period they avoided killing of shinobi of any major village except Kiri, they don't wanted to be pursued seriously, third she is the last of the Ice release bloodline, and last, she wants to be a medic-nin, we have always needed medic-nins"
"This are good arguments Naruto, but still this will need to be discussed with the clan council and my advisors, I will send you a message once we have a conclusion" He addressed Naruto, then he explained to Haku "You cannot go outside the village, and you will stay with Kakashi until we have reached a decision, you are dismissed, Kakashi please stay"
Once Haku and Naruto went outside, he asked Kakashi
"What can you say to me about her?"
"Hmm, she is as loyal as Naruto, she is training him in the silent killing technique, and she is very talented" answered the lazy jounin
"Do you think she is a danger to the village?"
"As long as Naruto is loyal to us, we don't have anything to worry about, she is a very dependent person" Stated Kakashi.
"Thank you Kakashi, now begin with your report" Said the old hokage.
And Kakashi began explaining the mission, with a lot of detail.
3 days later, Hokage's Office
Sarutobi was in his impossible to win fight against the paperwork, when his secretary announced Naruto and Haku.(Yes, she is making him behave a little more polite, but everything he learned he forgets when eating ramen)
"Ah thank you for coming so quickly Haku-san, Naruto-kun" told them Hiruzen
"Yes Hokage-jiji"
"Hai Hokage-sama"
"Well, concerning the event of you staying in Konoha" He pauses dramatically, he loves to do this "You have been accepted, altougth you can't join active duty until you have a 5 year living in the village, or having a child in here"
"Will I be able to join as a medic-nin?" Asked the girl
"Yes, but you will have to wait a month of probation, also you can't go outside the village except by my orders" then he tells Naruto "Now, Since you accepted her as your retainer Naruto, this means that any suitor she gets will need to be approved by you, also anything Haku does will also bring consequences at you, this means that you will be responsible of her"
The blonde nodded, the responsibility he has finally sank on him.
"It's fine, it will give more time to teach Naruto-sama the silent killing technique" Haku told him.
"Do you know it?" Asked the aged hokage
"Yes, it was Zabuza-sama's favorite technique, so I had to be good or I would have been a burden, I'm at expert level, never reached the master tough"
Sarutobi nodded
"Hokage-jiji, do you know someone that can teach me how to use a sword?" Asked the blonde
Sarutobi looked at Haku
"Zabuza-sama had an apprentice, but he betrayed us during the coup, I was never good with swords" she stated
"Kakashi can teach you the basics, he was a good swordsman when he was young" told sarutobi to the blonde
"Why Kakashi-sensei doesn't use sword?" he asked
"He is a ninjutsu specialist, and after his father's sword broke, he doesn't show any interest on any other sword"
Naruto and Haku nodded in comprehension.
Training ground 7, Next team meeting
Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto were waiting for Kakashi, and he appeared at his usual time.
"Yo" guess who
"YOU ARE LATE!" Naruto and Sakura yelled at him
"I'm sorry, but I got lost in the road of life"
"Whatever"
"Well, since Sasuke needs some training with his Sharingan, today I'm gonna give him one-on-one training"
"But Kakashi sensei-"
Kakashi stopped him raising his hand "I suspect you want to learn kenjutsu Naruto"
The blonde nodded
"Well, I'm not very good with big swords, but I got this, unseal it"Said the jounin giving him a scroll
Naruto unsealed it, it was a small replica of Kubikiri-hocho(About half the size of the original), a manteinance set and a basic kenjutsu scroll for cleavers.
"Naruto I need you to understand that everyone of the 7 swords of the hidden mist has a unique set of katas and moves, you will have to reconstruct the style for the Kubikiri-hocho"
"Don't worry Kakashi-sensei, I will get it in no time, believe it"
Kakashi eye smiled "Oh, and you also have to bring your strengh up, to use correctly your sword, before teams meetings I want you to practice lifting weights, but don't overextend yourself"
"Now Sakura, the first thing we need to do for you, is bring you physical strengh to genin level, you are going to run sets of 20 laps to the training grounds, with rests of 10 minutes each, also I want you to lift weights before he team meetings"
And with that they continued their training, at the end of the month Naruto had a good ability to fight in zero visibility, but he still has problems sneaking into people, Haku also tought him the Kirigakure no Jutsu, but he is far from mastering it, needing a clone to perform it while he fight.
