CHAPTER 7
A/N Alright on with chapter 7 where things will make a drastic change in the story plot, team seven leaves for wave and they go through some very intense training.
And I do not own Naruto in anyway besides the story I am writing.
XXXXX
Team seven was seated in the team's new favorite eating establishment thanks to Kakashi. They where all seated in a both inside of a sushi, stake and bakery mixed establishment. The air was thick with the smells of steaks, sweets and other assorted foods.
"Well you three it has been three weeks since we became a team and just under a week with the new training regiments. Now with in that time frame we have grown close and have become a real team."
True to Kakashi's words within the past week the team has had a large change. One the team knows about Naruto's sharingan due to Kakashi saying there should be no secrets between team mates. Second is Sasuke has the sharingan as well and last is the relationship with them all.
Sasuke pulled the stick out of his ass and became close friends with Naruto gave up his desire to kill his brother and he even started to date Sakura.
Sakura left her fan girl attitude behind and became a real kunoichi that anyone could be proud of. She even created a few of her own jutsu for healing someone.
Naruto finally found a family that appreciates him and treats him well. He stopped being as cold to people but he is still the same trouble making prankster.
"Well everyone lets head to the hokage's office and see what mission we can get today."
As the team walked through the village Naruto and Sasuke started a game that is both fun for them and training.
"I see a bird thirty feet ahead of us." Said Naruto
"I see four jounin level ninja straight ahead." Said Sasuke
"Well try and beat this. Six ANBU ninja following us in the standard three by three pattern." Said Naruto with a smug grin on his face.
"Damn that's going to be hard to beat."
"Will you two just shut the hell up already! Now sasuke how about after our mission we go and have dinner or something." Asked sakura.
"Sounds good to me."
As the team continued there conversations a ANBU agent wearing a cat mask with long purple hair dropped in front of the group.
"Hey Yugi-chan. What's up?"
"Hey Naruto I just wanted to say bye I have to leave for a mission." Said Yuugao as she leaned in and kissed Naruto before putting her mask back on and leaving.
"I still do not know how you where able to end up with some one like Yuugao dobe." Said Sasuke with a small smirk on his face.
"Oh probably how you ended up with Sakura when I was sure you where gay teme. I mean you had all of those girls throwing them selves at your feat and you ignored all of them until now that sounds very fishy to me."
As Naruto finished his statement his head immediately met the ground courtesy of Sakura's fist meting the back of his head.
"Alright you guys shape up now we have arrived at the hokage tower."
As the team climb up the stares to speak with the old man, as they climbed the winding stair case to the briefing room Naruto picked up the scent of cheap sake.
"Ah team seven here for another D-ranked mission. Well lets see we have walking 's dogs or rebuilding.."
"NO! Jiji I am tired if doing the D-ranked stuff can we please have at least a C-ranked mission?"
"Well it depends on a few variables such as if your team leader believes you are ready to take on the challenges of higher missions."
Flash back
"Now Naruto when your team comes in next week I wont you to request the mission that way it doesn't look suspicious."
"Got it jiji."
End flashback
"I Kakashi Hatake believe my team is ready to take on a higher mission."
"Alright I have the perfect mission in mind for you. You four will be escorting a bridge builder back to his home land so he may finish his bridge."
"Alright so who is the man that we need to escort and what are we protecting him from." Asked Sasuke.
"The usual bandits, thieves and wild animals, now once you escort the man you will need to stay with him until he has completed the bridge."
As Sarutobi motioned for the man to be brought in Naruto realized the smell he had smelt walking up the stairs was this man.
"This is Tazuna he is the man that you will be guarding and Tazuna these are the ninja who will be accompanying you. "
As Tazuna canned the room he soon realized that the group was full of kids and one adult. The girl of the group was obviously dating the tallest boy and would be a distraction. The boy was also kind of lovey doevey with the girl. Lastly was the blond who was staring off into space with three swords strapped to his hip.
"You call these ninja? They are just a bunch of kids." Said Tazuna as he took another drink from his sake. "Those two are playing kissy face and the other is staring off into space without a clue."
As if to prove his point he raised his hand to throw his now empty bottle of sake when Naruto disappeared.
"May I make a suggestion Tazuna-san." Said Naruto in a dead cold voice behind him. "It would be unwise to insult ninja no matter what their rank."
To prove his point Tazuna soon felt three individual pieces of metal touching his skin courtesy of the three genin he just insulted.
"Tazuna-san I agree with Naruto and I would suggestion that if you insult my ninja again that I will allow them to kill you" with a serious tone creeping in to the hokage's voice Tazuna shut up quickly.
"Alright team met us at the north gate in one hour."
As Tazuna turned to leave his hat fell into three pieces along with his sake bottle and his belt.
"Sorry about that Tazuna-san but it would be unwise to insult them again."
As Kakashi gave him an eye smile he walked out of the room to find his team waiting for him outside the tower.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei did you notice how he was kind of nervous, I think he is hiding something."
"I did notice Sakura but lets not forget that you three almost killed him now." Said Kakashi with an eye smile. "Now you three go and get ready we leave in one hour."

(With Sasuke.)
As the last remaining loyal uchiha walked through his house he stopped and stared long and hard at a picture. The picture was of a middle aged man and a young beautiful woman both smiling and holding on to him and his older brother.
They where Fugaku uchiha and Mikoto uchiha his parents who where murdered in cold blood by his older brother Itachi.
"I swear Itachi that I will kill you and avenge our clan once and for all."
"Sasuke stop, revenge is never the answer."
Sasuke was startled that he never knew someone was with him he was even more surprised when he turned around and saw his blond teammate.
"Naruto what are you doing here and how did you sneak up on me."
"I just followed you and plus I am a ninja." Said the blond with a big grin. "And second trust me revenge is not the answer besides you have a new family, Sakura, Kakashi-sensei and me. We are your family. Well think about it Sasuke but I need to go so I can pack and remember one thing for me will you?" at Sasuke's nod he continued. "You had a family I never did."
'Flashback one month ago'
"Sasuke what are you doing?"
"You won't understand Naruto I had every thing taken from me, you just wouldn't understand."
"You are right about that I don't know what it is like to lose someone because I never had anyone to lose. Ever since I was younger I was hated for something I could not control, no I won't tell you today if and when we grow closer together as a team I will tell you."
"Wait Naruto what do you mean by you where hated by the village?"
"Whenever you are around me and we walk through the village watch how the people act towards me."
With that he left and Sasuke never saw him till the next day."
(End flashback)
"Naruto please tell me what you meant by you have no control over the treatment and hatred of the villagers."
"I am truly sorry Sasuke but I am not comfortable with telling you or Sakura that right now."
With that he left in a gust of wind.
XXXX
With Sakura.
"Hey mom I am leaving for about two weeks on a mission so I will see you when I get back."
Before her mother could say anything Sakura was out the door and headed towards the north gate to wait on her teammates.
XXXX
With Naruto.
As Naruto walked into his new house after his little talk with Sasuke he quickly began to pack his belongings for a two week journey.
"Food, cloths, new sword, and the jutsu scrolls so I can practice some more while I am gone."
"Hey kit don't forget the other two scrolls the one for your sharingan and the kenjutsu style that your mother made."
'But I already know three styles, and I am working on my own why do I need to learn anther one?'
"Just quit your bitching and grab the fucking scroll."
With that the two stopped talking and Naruto finished packing. Once he was done packing he headed out to the north gate.
XXXX
As all three of the genin arrived at the same time they all noticed very quickly that Kakashi was not there.
As they waited patiently they soon saw him walking up the path dragging a drunken Tazuna.
"Sorry I am late everyone but our client here decided to make a pit stop at a few bars."
"Let's just get going before Naruto faints due to the smell."
As Naruto stood closer to Tazuna the more his sense of smell was being affected by the alcohol.
XXXX
As the team began walking they soon come across a puddle when it had not rained in weeks.
Kakashi looked up and saw to his delight that Naruto and Sasuke noticed but Sakura sadly didn't.
'I will have to work some more with her.'
As the group walked past the puddle out popped two chunin ninja the demon brothers Gōzu and Meizu, they quickly attacked Kakashi and catching him with a chain and quickly ripping him in half.
Sakura let out a very shrill yell as she watched her sensei be torn apart in front of her very eyes.
"Sasuke let's go take care of these wana be assassins."
"Ya let's!"
Both of the boys launched at one of the demon brothers with their sharingans spinning to life before the two brothers.
Gōzu and Meizu quickly detached the chain connecting them together and went after individual targets.
Gōzu began to chase after Naruto leaving his brother to deal with the other boy.
Meizu ran after Sasuke as the two separated and ran to the woods.
(With Naruto)
"You can't run forever boy turn and fight me."
Just like he asked Naruto turned around and delivered a devastating kick to the side of his head.
"Damn boy that's one hell of a kick you got there, and you have the sharingan to boot."
As Naruto stared down the man he realized that every thing was crisp and clear and he could see the chakra network. Since this was his first time ever using the sharingan in a real fight he finally noticed how much of a difference he had with his new eyesight.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki and I will be your destroyer today."
He rested his hand on his sword and as he finished his sentence he vanished with blinding speed and drew his katana for his favorite move the Battou Jutsu (Sword Drawing Art).
In one move he had successfully killed his opponent or so he though.
"Damn kid that was close; if it wasn't for this armor I would be dead for sure. You see this armor is made specially to counter all weapons even with chakra so your swords and kunai and any other weapon are useless." (Picture the chakra armor from the canon.)
As Gōzu began to stand Naruto saw no mark on him not even his armor was damaged from the blow. The armor had taken the full hit of the sword slash and some how managed to deflect all of the damage.
"Ok then try this one on for size" As Naruto drew his sword Gōzu prepared himself for another strike like the first. But instead he struck the ground with a chakra enhanced blow for the Do Ryu Sen (Ground Dragon Flash)
As the attack neared Gōzu he calmly waited for the attack to hit. When the attack finally did hit home it was not fully deflected.
Gōzu's body flew through the air with a lifeless look in his eyes but just as he was nearing the ground he changed his position.
"Well looks like you have some attacks that you can make fly from your sword. That does make nullifying your sword techniques difficult but like I said they are useless against this armor."
Gōzu quickly launched him self into a taijutsu fight with Naruto. Naruto quickly threw multiple punches and kicks with all of them bouncing off of his opponent's body due to the armor.
"Oh did I forget to mention that it also disables your taijutsu." Said Gōzu with a superior smirk on his face.
He quickly launched a punch at Naruto's face as he was unprepared for the punch. It went straight past his guard and right into Naruto's jaw. As his head flew back it quickly doubled over as a elbow slammed into the back of his head. Quicker then most chunin and jounin could move Gōzu landed a double axel spin kick to naruto's jaw then to his nose.
With a sickening crunch Naruto's nose bounced off of Gōzu's boot then off of a rock instantly breaking it.
"See boy you can not win against me in this fight."
As Naruto slowly stood up he had a puzzled look on his face.
"So that means that this will be a ninjutsu battle. Are you retarded or something?" asked Naruto with a confused look on his face.
"What do you mean?"
"You're going to get into a ninjutsu fight with someone who has the sharingan really."
"Fuck you. Water dragon jutsu!"
As Gōzu went through the seals Naruto had already copied he was done with his own jutsu.
"Water Dragon jutsu."
As the two dragons clashed Naruto's quickly won the fight for dominance due to his abstain amounts of chakra.
"Fire style: Grand fire ball jutsu."
"Water style: Water bullet jutsu."
As the two opposing elements clashed a thick vale of steam grew and it continued to grow thicker. As the mist grew in density Naruto realized that his sharingan was useless to him now.
"How do you like the hidden mist jutsu? Now your little sharingan is useless against me."
At the peak of the jutsu Gōzu struck. He quickly lashed out with a few taijutsu techniques then he unleashed a few more water bullets. Through all of the attacks that where barraging him Naruto soon found himself running out of time.
'Shit with this mist so thick I'm not able to read his movements or his jutsu and I won't last much longer like this. If I can't find a way around this I will die. Wait a minute there is that one jutsu.'
Naruto slowly began to go through the necessary handseals for his strongest wind based jutsu.
Once his chakra was at the proper level he let loose his jutsu. "wind style: Black wind hurricane!"
With a loud scream of both surprise and fear the winds wiped his body from the ground.
As the jutsu roared to life it devastated the surrounding area with hurricane strength winds and outrages amounts of chakra. The mist was blown away and so was Gōzu, the winds cared his body through several trees, rocks. As his head bounced off of the surrounding trees and rocks there was a very loud crack as his neck broke. Stopping dead underneath a creek that was over a hundred feet away Gōzu's body slowly floated to the surface.
"Damn that was draining." Said Naruto as he stood painting inside of a deep crated where the eye of the storm he unleashed was situated.
He slowly turned around to walk off he realized that his body was in immense amounts of pain. As his body began to give out from chakra exhaustion Kakashi popped into existence to catch him and bring him back to the camp site.
"You over did it just to take out one low level chunin don't you think Naruto?"
"No Kakashi-sensei because he was almost to your level, who ever the two demon brothers have been traveling with made their skill level jump to almost jounin. Gōzu almost killed me when I was fighting against him due to his weird armor that he had."
"Well then I guess it was a good thing that your wind jutsu hit his brother as well, and when we get back to camp you should tell me and the rest of the group about that armor."
XXXX
Back with Tazuna, sakura, and Sasuke Naruto saw a tied up Meizu.
"Damn dobe that was one hell of a jutsu you unleashed back there, by the way where is the other one?"
"He kind of died when my jutsu hit him full on."
At the shocked looks of everyone there especially Meizu Naruto asked his question that was on his mind.
"So how did you beat him then?"
"When you launched your jutsu he was pushed closer to me and I just had to punch him once and he was out cold."
"What are you telling me that while I was fighting for my life you just had to punch your guy once? And how the hell did you even punch him the armor he was wearing should have stopped that."
"Ya that was all I had to do, and his armor didn't stop my fist."
As Sasuke described what happened Naruto was getting more and more pissed off at his friend.
"Alright you guys lets have a little talk with this demon brother here."
The group closed in on Meizu to get the information they needed.
Just as the group closed in on him he quickly swallowed a suicide pill instantly killing himself before they could question him.
"Alright Tazuna start explaining what all of this is actually about. These ninja that just attacked us where aiming for you as if you where a target."
As Tazuna began to explain to them about Gato and all of his corrupt doings in his village the group of four decided to help the old man in restoring his village.
"Alright guys lets camp here for tonight and head out early in the morning."
With that the group set up camp and had a fireless dinner.
