I do not own Naruto. But my version is way better.
It had been a few hours since leaving Konoha through the east gate with Tazuna the bridge builder, and despite the fact that he said super way too much the man wasn't half bad. He did disrespect Naruto when he first entered the Hokage's office and thought he had been saddled with a bunch of snot nosed brats, but that all changed when his sake bottle disappeared from his hands while he was in the middle of lifting it to his lips. He opened his eyes to find Naruto all the way across the room already drinking his liquor, and since then he had been way more respectful, if only for the sake of his Sake.
They were all headed toward the Wave, a country that was southeast of Konoha and directly south of Port City. They didn't really have any other information about the mission, but more than likely the worst thing they would face would be a few bandits. Naruto made sure to keep a comfortable distance between himself and his team as always, and had been chatting Idly with Tazuna and Kakashi about Sake and Icha Icha for a long while. It was a nice change from the D Ranks that had been his clones hell on earth, although Naruto now knew that the D Ranks actually weren't that bad. Why would he say such a thing about the idiotic chores that passed for missions!?
The D Ranks had helped his reputation throughout the village, along with teaching him a few valuable skills. He had learned farming and agriculture, construction and basic facilities maintenance, and even assisted TenTens dad in his forge. While he didn't actually Smith any weapons, he had seen how it was done and decided to buy a book about it from the man which he had been studying. As far as farming went, he ended up getting about 30 seeds of the marijuana Jiji smoked, Monkey Balls. And then with facilities maintenance he had learned a lot about home repair and things of that nature. The only missions he truly despised were the Tora retrievals and the dumb ass weed pulling tasks. Those were retarded no matter how you cut it.
After a few more hours of walking since Tazuna wasn't a ninja, Naruto perked up feeling the presence of multiple individuals about a quarter mile ahead of them. While he had improved his Flow sensor technique, it still had a few flaws which he had been trying to correct. First was actually identifying chakra levels, the second was that it didn't penetrate the earth, and the third was the fluctuations in the range because the unique nature of his rotating chakra. He could however distinguish how many chakra signatures were within his range, keep the technique active, and even tell the way an attack would come because of much practice. Feeling the attacks was the main thing he practiced, using his clones to launch sneak attacks while he was blindfolded. He even had entire taijutsu matched with multiple clones after a while which he had begun winning most of the time.
Halting and informing Kakashi of the possible threat, everyone wondered how he knew there were people but he just said he had sensor abilities. Sasuke frowned at this along with Sakura, and Tazuna seemed to be nervous but Naruto reassured him of their skill. Although he didn't like Sasuke and the Uchiha in general, and Sakura was practically Sasuke's lapdog, he did respect their skills. He had spied on them many a time, along with many other individuals and those sneaky shinobi that tried to follow him every now and then. He had even found out that his teammates were somehow associated with them, although he didn't know the nature of the relationship.
As they continued walking on high alert, they soon encountered what Naruto had sensed minutes earlier. Standing in front of them were a sizable group of bandit mercenaries, numbering about 15 and all if muscular build. The leader immediately stepped forward, holding an old worn blade like many of his subordinates. Smirking at the outnumbered shinobi he then said." Ahh..we've been waiting for a little action. Alright boys, kill the men but keep the girl alive! I wanna have a little fun later, and you all can have the bitch too if you want!"
Several things happened just as he finished speaking the last words he would ever say. First a slightly chipped looking kunai impaled the leader's head, instantly killing the man. Second, as soon as he fell on his back dead the kunai exploded, sending a shower of shrapnel in every direction killing and injuring many others that began scattering. Third multiple fireballs and purple colored spheres of liquid riddled the group, burning and dissolving flesh and killing most of the remaining threats. Then Naruto, having thrown his explosive note kunai created to clones that concealed his handseals from Sasuke, and he rushed forward at high speed thrusting his lightning covered hand into one of the two last bandits and sunk his hand into the man's shoulder.
Pulling it out with a deadly glare, the man fell to the ground writhing in pain and the final bandit tried to run away from the shinobi. Naruto just waved his hand, a long chain whipping from his palm and severing the man's legs like they were made of butter.
Kakashi hadn't even had to move, his three students effortlessly dispatching the group of mercenaries as if it were nothing. Observing his young charges, he saw that neither Sasuke nor Sakura seemed to be affected, although Sakura was frowning in distaste. As he appeared next to Naruto and observed him looking down at the bandit he used chidori on, he was very relieved to see that while his favorite student was prepared to kill, he didn't really want to kill unless necessary. He had taught Naruto the chidori after much thought, and he did so because the boy always expressed a desire to protect his comrades no matter what. He also wanted the blonde to have a technique of the only element he hadn't used yet, which was lightning. The young man now had the wind natured dust cloud, the earth underground fish, the water gun shot, the fire style Phoenix flower, and the lightning style chidori which was the technique he created himself. He almost hadn't taught him that though, because of the tunnel vision, but Naruto did have shadow clones to use along with the shunshin.
All in all he was very proud of his student, and he became even more proud as the boy bent down and began healing the man with a terribly executed mystical palm. Ignoring the moaning chidori victim Kakashi said." I see you've mastered that technique, and so soon. I'm impressed. Why heal this piece of shit though, you know he doesn't deserve it?"
Naruto just frowned and responses over the loud groans of the dying men around him." All life is precious, and I'm not Kami. Besides I've been wanting to practice this healing jutsu, along with the chidori on an actual person. It looks like the injury can't be healed so easily though, probably because of the electricity searing his flesh. Interesting..."
Kakashi was about to say something when suddenly Naruto jumped back as Sasuke severed the man's head with his new ninjato while saying." He deserves no mercy Naruto, they threatened us and even suggested raping Sakura. Now try healing this fuck with his head off of his shoulders if you can."
Naruto got extremely angry at this, and crouching in preparation to attack he spat." What the fuck is wrong with you!? Even if he is a piece of Shit you shouldn't of cut his fucking head off you sick bastard!"
Kakashi grabbed Naruto and calmed him down as Sasuke just "hmmphed" and continued walking past the carnage they had inflicted, Sakura following close behind with hearts in her eyes. Tazuna also began speaking after getting over his initial shock at their ruthless competance, saying." He may of have went too far, but in a way he was right. These types prey on the weak and defenseless, and even kidnap and rape little girls. They wouldn't hesitate to chop your body up and sell your organs on the black market, or just keep someone alive as a slave to be sold. There have been people like these men even in my village lately, which is why I need your protection in the first place."
Naruto just nodded his head and drew his shirasaya, finishing the men that were still alive and thrashing about in misery with a few stabs to their hearts. He seemed mostly unaffected, but his frown of displeasure was very conspicuous. Catching up with Sasuke and Sakura the group of them walked in silence the rest of that day, and Naruto could of sworn he felt two more chakra signatures that faded away after they left the massacred mercenaries.
After packing up the camping equipment and erasing the evidence they were there the next morning, the group finally reached the coast where a boat man was waiting with fear in his eyes. Tazuna knew the man apparently, and after crossing the sea for a few hours they finally reached Wave country. Naruto had come up with an interesting idea during the trip over the water, figuring he could increase the range and potency of his Flow technique of he trained in the ocean itself, saturating as much water as he possibly could while trying to identify sea creatures. He wanted to practice during the trip, and he ended up making a clone to so during his first time a bird a boat. He had also asked Tazuna about whirlpool, and finding out how close it was he sent a clone there too. He would if done so earlier but honestly it hardened crossed his mind until just now. He was very excited about finding anything of interest, and he hoped to kami he did find something awesome.
Finally reaching shore after Naruto asked more about wave country, they continued their trek on guard the entire two hours until they noticed a fog that kept getting thicker and thicker. Asking if it was foggy a lot, everyone focused when Tazuna said it almost never did. Especially Naruto, this really had reminded him of Kushimaru and Kisame when he was in Tsukuyomi. He damn sure wasn't about to get his skin shaved off, and knowing that Kisame was after him made him extremely vigilant. He voiced his weariness to his team and they also were ready for anything. Thank kami Sakura wasn't still a pathetic fangirl with no skill. Tazuna seemed to get increasing nervous as it got more difficult to see, and despite not feeling anything yet he decided to blow it away with his dust cloud jutsu. Kakashi also assisted using the great breakthrough, and the combined jutsu blew a large path through the misty cloud, although Naruto's dust had to dissipate. It was after a a little while that Naruto felt something, actually two things, and throwing a kunai he heard a squeal as a white rabbit was killed instantly. Everyone noticing that it hadn't snowed for the rabbit to be white although it was October, Kakashi explained this Naruto said he felt something else. Something bigger. It was then that he yelled to drop and pulled Tazuna to the ground, just as a large zanbatous blade sunk into a tree to the side of the group.
Instantly back on his feet and creating three clones using one handed seals with his arms crossed, Naruto created three clones simultaneously noticing and recognizing the shinobi on standing on it." It's Zabuza Momochi, don't let your guard down!"
Zabuza couldn't even speak before two clones were upon him, while the other picked up a terrified Tazuna and took him a short distance away from the ninja. The first jumped at him and spun into a raging Whirlpool using sharpened chakra chains that split off into multiple smaller chains near the end. Zabuza displayed impressive speed and strength dropping from and gripping his sword at once, spinning and around after swiftly dodging into a horizontal cut. The tree was completely destroyed by Naruto's clone that received the cut, and the other clone rushed the man with a sword. Jumping forward and cutting downward as Zabuza blocked, Naruto pushed off with his shirasaya and flipped using his blade landing behind Zabuza as he turned. The attack was disrupted when the ninja sent a powerful side kick that dispelled it before Zabuza leapt away at high speed, fading into the rapidly thickening mist while saying." Oh...looks like you're a real shinobi boy, and you even know who I am. Your jacket says Uzukage, what your name?"
"Naruto Uzumaki, heir of Whirlpool!" He declared ready to fight for his life. He couldn't see anything really, and as soon as it reached zero visibility he felt a many chakra signatures appear."Kakashi sensei, five chakras just showed up they must be shinobi!"
"Naruto, protect Tazuna I'll take Zabuza! Sasuke, Sakura, stay alert for the enemy and back me up!"
As soon as the words left his mouth he went through handseals quickly and blew the mist away with a great breakthrough, scanning the area.
"The boy's an Uzumaki and a sensor, the crest on the black haired one is of the Uchiha, and it's the legendary Kakashi Hatake, looks like we get to have some fun don't we Ameyuri!?
Chuckling and appearing with two other shinobi, the red haired woman joyously exclaimed." Finally! I'll take the Uzumaki its been a long time since I've tasted their blood after all! Haiku Haku, the girl. Kimimaru, the Uchiha! ITADAKIMASU!"
Instantly creating 6 clones, Naruto sent two to join the one protection Tazuna, three to engage the other two shinobi that remained hidden, and the last one to the red haired woman that was also a member the seven mist swordsman. All of them jumping off, Naruto observed as his clone dashed toward the smiling woman and transformed into a black hawk, swiftly flying upward and transforming again while firing hair needles at the kunoichi. She smirked and mobbed far to the side extremely fast, spinning while using her two swords to send a bolt of lightning toward the hawk and another toward Naruto. The hawk was instantly dispelled, and Naruto barely avoided the attack by slipping underground just as it passed over him. This Ameyuri woman was dangerous!
The mist seemed to thicken again filling in the space that Kakashi had used the wind jutsu on earlier, and Zabuza, Haku, and Kimimaru engaged Naruto's team as it got more difficult to see. Keeping their distance to test their opponents reactions, with a yell of "Digital Shrapnel and Thousand Ice Needles!" The two mist teens sent a large amount of projectiles at Sasuke and his hypnotized girlfriend. Two walls of earth Shit from the ground as they defended themselves, Sakura being water and earth natured and Sasuke having the sharingan. They had learned a lot from Sai since secretly joining Root, and Sasuke had even been learning the kenjutsu of Izuna Uchiha, daily studying the massive library of techniques in the Uchiha archives.
Zabuza sprung toward Kakashi at once, strongly cutting and having his blade locked with a kunai that suddenly appeared in Kakashis hand.
Meanwhile Naruto's clones rapidly approached the two unknown shinobi, who were well hidden behind some trees with their hands in a seal. They didn't even think twice before transforming into hawks, swiftly flying past the ninja as sharp chains extended from the tips of their wings. The demon brothers were brutally killed that day, the sharpened chakra weapons slicing and dicing them into pieces. The mist seemed to get a little lighter immediately, and figuring out what they were doing Naruto's clones rushed to blow the mist away as soon as possible.
They arrived just in time as the red haired kunoichi Ameyuri sent a powerful blast of lightning at Naruto, the Uzumaki barely managing to avoid it and being thrown back as it impacted the ground next to him. They quickly transformed and used seals performing the dust cloud in a wide spread manner, even affecting their teammates battles as they turned their heads and strongly exhaled. Ameyuri seemed to be moving toward Naruto's downed form quickly, and firing hair needles they managed to divert her attention toward her before multiple clones appeared which were exact replicas of her. A clash of clones commenced as Naruto rose and the dust began clearing, revealing the battleground around him once more. Sinking into the ground, he was temporarily cut off from his Flow ability and quickly created two more clones, sending them toward where he thought Ameyuri was. Formulating a plan, he waited as they engaged the amused kunoichi.
"You're not bad at all brat! In fact you'll be more filling than your clanmen I've killed before!" She happily shouted as spun around the chakra chains that split the ground under her nearly severing her legs. She sent multiple thin concentrated bolts of lightning at the first as it emerged dispelling it. As soon as her attack ended, the second clone phased through the earth already finished with seals and sending a barrage of fireballs at her. Weaving in and out of them, she again had to evade when it immediately used a one handed seal and firing Senbon consisting of sharp hair follicles. Damn she was having a good time!
Shunshining I'm front of the clone she swung both of her kiba swords upward while crossing them into an X cut, slicing through its wind chakra amplified sword like warm butter.
This development alarmed Naruto, those weren't regular fucking swords! Starting to feel a little fatigued from so many clones, on top of the clones he created earlier along with the night before to stay with his girlfriends, Fu, and Tsunade and Shizune he created another two clones to try a different approach. They rose from the ground from different spots simultaneously, spitting bullet after bullet using the water style gun shot jutsu. She quickly replaced herself with a tree branch and fired her own long range attack, but the clones slung themselves with chains that shot from their backs and dodged. Their hands free to use jutsu, one used the Phoenix flower jutsu to herd the happy woman. Easily maneuvering around them, she retaliated with a lightning attack that exploded into many smaller bolts that dispelled it, just as the other clone went through handseals and slung itself forward with two chains, thrusting strongly screaming."Chidori!"
Ameyuri raised one blade to block, and was surprised that the jutsu was actually able to compete with the electric current that surrounded her blade. Then she raised her other sword as Naruto tried to ambush her, and even though he had strengthened wind chakra surrounding his shirasaya the blade was nearly broken as she pushed off while kicking him down. Still blocking the chidori, she was just about to finish another tasty Uzumaki when four chains shot from him, piercing her in multiple places before ripping through her flesh in different directions. She was also hit with the chidori as her grip slackened, and she smiled one last time at the fun battle with the cute blonde.
Naruto seeing her die as blood flowed from her mouth and body, discarded his nearly broken shirasaya and quickly grabbed her Kiba, which she seemed like she wanted him to have since she sort of moved them toward him as she died. Sealing the swords away into his palms after quickly unsealing his short swords, he turned his attention to the other ongoing battles and prepared to ambush at any given opening.
After using the earth wall jutsu, Sasuke and Sakura slipped underground a handseal later and countered strongly, striking from below. Sakura spit many acid bullets at Haku who displayed impressive ability, even a little quicker than Jonin speed. The ice nin then disappeared into a mirror of ice, appearing a ways away in another that suddenly appeared. Sending many ice needles at Sakura, she was forced to did he when the Uchiha fired a few fireballs in her direction, simply turning his head after firing at Kimimaru. The bone shinobi then spun through the attack, much like Ameyuri with the bones of his forearms in his palms like short swords. Getting into range quickly, the white haired teen attempted to stab Sasuke many times after yelling" Camellia Dance!"
Sasuke dodged and deflected every thrust, excited at the chance to test his skill against another bloodline. Releasing the first gate, he began using the same technique as Kimimaru surprising him with his increased speed. Circling around the Kaguya and kicking upward while crouching, he attempted the shadow of the leaf technique but it wasn't affective because of Kimimarus weight and bone density. The Kaguya smirked at his close proximity and used a move he knew the Uchiha couldn't copy and yelled "Larch Dance!" Sasuke was cut multiple times by the surprising maneuver, and caught off guard he only managed to narrowly avoid death by twisting his body as Kimimaru shot his drilling fingertip bones distance. Taking many in his arms and leg as he turned he fell to the ground as the Kaguya moved to finish him off. Kimimaru would never get the chance to as he made eye contact with the teen he was prepared to kill."Tsukuyomi!"
Sakura and Haku fought their battle from a distance, both being weary upon encountering an unknown opponent with an unknown bloodline. Ice spikes exploded from the ground under her as she rolled dodging them, slipping into the ground after using a half seal. Haku had been traveling between different mirrors spread out across the battlefield, and even Sakuras acid couldn't melt the stone hard shields of ice. She had taken a few Senbon so far, and despite her growth she was getting very desperate. She couldn't use her poison had technique, as her team was nearby. Her projectiles wouldn't work, and Haku was being cautious staying within the ice mirrors. She was saved from her situation when a familiar foul chakra exploded from where Kakashi and Zabuza had been fighting, and looking to see what was happening she was truly horrified.
"KAKASHIIIIII!"
