Fight on the Bridge

"talking"

'thinking'

-FF/change POV-

Naruto and Haku's Signals.

Naruto awoke in the room he and Sasuke had been sharing. Sasuke was gone. Naruto figured that Sasuke had told Kakashi that Naruto had stayed out there and Kakashi had probably gone to get him. Naruto stood up, and got dressed. He had been sitting around for a while, when he suddenly sensed that trouble was happening. Naruto went outside to see some ment trying to kill Inari and his mother. Naruto reacted by killing both men.

"Where is the rest of my team." Naruto asked.

"At the bridge with my grandpa." Inari answered.

"Thanks." Naruto said, starting to walk towards the bridge.

"Your not a complete idiot. Are you?" Inari asked. Naruto chuckled to himself before waving to Inari.

"No, but don't tell." Then Naruto raced out toward the bridge. when he got there, Sasuke was fighting Haku, Kakashi was fighting Zabuza, and Sakura was standing in front of Tazuna trembling like a frightened mouse. Hakus saw NAruto, and created his ice mirriors. However, he also created some signals.

Some of the others are waiting to pick Zabuza and me up. They just need a signal. I told them you'd send out some of the kyuubi's power.

Naruto rolled his eyes and signaled back.

Oh yes, i'll just break the seal and release the kyuubi to have them come get you two.

Haku bounced from mirror to mirror and used his handsigns.

... You know what I mean, I'll just affect your emotions by attacking emo-boy here.

Naruto started running towards the ice mirrors.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Emo-boy. Why didn't I come up with that one? Oh yeah, someone told me not to tease my teammates. Anyway, okay. If you can piss me off by attacking Mr.I'msogreataninjaIcanneverdie, then you go right ahead.

Haku threw some needles at Sasuke.

I hope I can. If not, we're screwed.

Naruto got to the ice mirrors.

I agree. and i'm not sure that i'd be able to help you out.

Haku nodded, and let Naruto slip into the center of his ice mirrors. he knew that Naruto could take the needles.

-ff to middle of fight-

Naruto gasped as Sasuke took Haku's attack for him. He couldn't understand it. Sasuke was an ice prick. He was a jerk. And he hated him, and yet, he saved him... Naruto didn't know who he was angry at. Was he angry at haku for attacking Sasuke? Or was he angry at Sasuke for saving him? Either way, Naruto was pissed off. And haku was the target of his rage. A huge jet of red chakra, which formed into the shape of a giant fox head appeared. Haku got his sign.

Naruto broke the mirrors into thousands of tiny little shards. He went to attack Haku, but his anger fell to pieces. "Haku, you've got your sign. You and Zabuza use false death illusion, and they'll get you out of here. oh, and I hate you." Haku smiled at Naruto.

"Why?"

"Because. you made me care about one of my teammates."

"Ha ha." Haku ran to take the hit for Zabuza, cueing the need for false death illusion jutsu.

-FF to Snow Scene-

Naruto hid a weary smile as Zabuza and Haku were suddenly covered in snow. Pure, white, snow. 'Snow Screen Jutsu' Naruto thought. After Zabuza spoke to Haku, which Naruto couldn't tell if it was fake or not, two figures cloaked completely in white, invisible to Naruto's team, but very visible to Naruto's trained eye, picked up Zabuza and Haku and carried them off. 'Pure soul dying and the bodies dissappearing my ass. Kakashi, you are way too supersitious.' Naruto thought.

The next day, all of Gato's men were discovered dea, as well as all of his money gone. Naruto smiled at the group of villagers that had come to see him and his team off.

"I guess hero's are real." Inari said.

Naruto grinned, "Told ya so. See ya kid."

"Yeah, bye, Big Brother!" Inaru smiled. Tazuna watched as team 7 left for home.

"This bridge, will be called the Great Naruto Bridge!" He declared.
