Urg, I feel rather slow at the writing here, issue is I don't have as clear a plan for this story as Mysterious Power. I also am getting sucked into more things. Sigh

C2's 12, now with Harem Barrage and Naruto and Hinata forever and Naruto's Harem
Tristan; Naruto wouldn't be able to catch the ROOT...and anyways it hasn't happened yet
Godzilla; Again, Danzo is going to more Gray then the last fic, he's going to do several things of this nature, while at the same time aiding Naruto at other points, such as a nice anti banishment block
Sco; She's in Wave...
Anatomous; ROOT plans to kill Hinata right in front of Naruto, with a large amount of witnesses who don't hate Naruto so he can't be banished or executed, only emotionally damaged
Death; I'm still deciding whose with Naruto and whose not, and after all, Kakashi may not be the only one with an altered parentage.
Tobi; Eventually, after all there will be a lot of time between Wave and the Chunnin Exams
Hektols; He could do it if he wasn't being watched. If the civilians die, the Daiymo will have reason to point fingers
Animeman; That will be explained eventually
Leaf Rnger; Exactly
Well then, lets see how this part goes
Several days later, Wave Bridge (Naruto's POV)
After a lot of training, behind the back of their so called 'sensei', I am now on the unfinished bridge to the mainland, with Sasuke, Hatake-teme and, the pink haired one, with myself using shadow clones as a huge sum of the work force.
Tazuna's men kept quitting, so it became Hatake-Teme's idea to stick my shadow clones on work duty. Perhaps he was hoping I'd get bored to death or something. Perhaps he also wanted to finish the bridge off quickly so he can get back and make up some lie to try and get me executed or something.
Anko-Sensei said she'd clear it up with the Hokage, but still it was bound to be an issue. They didn't serve Ramen in death row.
"Okay, steady as she goes, steady!" Tazunna instructed the clones, who were currently hammering several supports into place. Meanwhile, Sasuke was watching the land from which the bridge had begun, in case Gato made a move, while the he she was eying him like god. Hatake-teme was reading that stupid book of his again, didn't I destroy the thing? However, he did notice something...
"Why are your clones standing on the pillars, Uzumaki?" Kakashi demanded harshly. Tazuna looked at him with a look saying 'hey, don't question this, its a good thing!', the lump reject of a defective hair gene looked at Naruto in fury like he was stealing her Sasuke-kun's spotlight, and Sasuke sighed.
"Because they don't want to get wet" Naruto commented evenly. Hatake glared.
"Don't get smart with me! Why are they defying gravity" Naruto grinned.
"Because I'm totally awesome!"
"BAKA, HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! SASUKE-KUN'S A LOT COOLER THAN YOU, AND HE CAN'T DO THAT..."
"Actually, I can" Sasuke commented, now standing on a support column of the bridge like Naruto's clones, with Sakura staring at him like a Nara at a Homework pass.
"YOUR SO AMAZING..."
"Naruto taught it to me" Sasuke lied. Sakura laughed.
"Oh, don't kid yourself Sasuke-kun..." Naruto sighed. At least he was distracting the brat.
"I never taught that to you, and they don't go over skills like that in the Academy, unless your clan taught it to you, which wouldn't apply to an orphan like you" Kakashi glared "Now spill it, who taught it to you" Naruto glared at him. What did he expect, that Bugsy (A/N Ears) taught it to him or something.
Or did he just want to get the civilians to mob said person for being a 'demon lover'.
"I saw it on a test once" Naruto commented evenly, causing Kakashi to look a little more annoyed, after all he got a lot of higher ranked tests more designed for Chunnin, thus seeing that sort of thing was actually realistic to expect. In fact, he had seen something of that manner, so it wasn't at total lie "So I spent a little bit of time practicing it, and figured it out a bit after I graduated"
"You don't have the ability to pull that off without a sensei, boy. Don't even try to fool me, WHO TAUGHT YOU THAT TECHNIQUE!" Naruto glared at him.
"No one taught me the shadow clone Jutsu, a technique that's designed for Jonnin, and many of them can't pull it off even with training, and yet you see plenty of my shadow clones around, do yo not. I've had to struggle through jutsu for years, with a lot more chakra then most impacting my control, and with no help. After all, could you have survived on your own, without someone holding your hand, without going dark and emo like!"
"YOU ARE DARK AND EMO LIKE!" Sasuke and Tazuna eyed Kakashi oddly.
"Sure, a orange wearing, hyper active emo. There plenty of them" Tazuna commented dryly.
"Naruto couldn't hope to be dark if he wanted to" Sasuke added, as mist began to climb over the bridge...
"Oh no, not again" Tazuna's eyes went wide.
"SASUKE-KUN, PROTECT ME!" a storm of senbon flew from the mist straight at Tazuna, before a kunai blocked them, held in Naruto's hand.
"Alright, whose out there!" the mist began to show three forms, one of them being Zabuuza. The others appeared to be girls, one with black hair and the other with red hair, and a large chest. Both's faces, aside for their mouths, were covered by masks.
"SO WHAT, YOUR SOME SORT OF PEDOPHILE..." Sakura began ranting, before the red head glared at her.
"Shut up, or I'll kill you" Sakura froze in fright, before Zabuza glared straight at Kakashi.
"Give it up, the bridge builder is ours. Leave now and I won't gut you like a trout" Kakashi looked ready to escape, before Naruto stood forward.
"I won't let you! This bridge is the hope of the entire nation of waves! The very thing granting everyone here hope, what everyone is hoping for. Even though at every point, it seemed as though their hope would be destroyed, the bridge still stands! With that, everyone's hope stands just as strongly, enduring, and now they can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. And no one will destroy that light, for no one deserves to live a life of oppression, scorn and most of all, a life without hope!" Zabuuza glared at the boy.
"And what makes you want to protect a bunch of worthless rats like those on this island. A shinobi's very existence stands to be a hired weapon, a tool to do as those paying for your services require. One day you sup with someone, the next day you stab them in the back with their own sword! That is the way of a shinobi" Sakura looked horrified, but Naruto just glared right back.
"Everyone's way is different, and how you see us Shinobi, is not what we are in absolution! No one has the right to destroy someone's hope! And as for why I care so much, is because the people are being oppressed, by people who just do it for convenience without even bothering to look at those they oppress, and failing to see that person's right to live!"
"I care, because I know exactly what such treatment feels like, how much it hurts! When few people even bother to look at you, like your even human!" Sakura and Kakashi were eying the boy like he was being a drama queen, while Sasuke and Tazuna, and even Zabuuza's crew, looked at him in confusion.
Sasuke even looked somewhat shocked, as if he never noticed that before.
"Naruto..."
"I WON'T ALLOW THIS LAND TO SUFFER ANY MORE, EVEN IF I HAVE TO DEFEAT YOU ALL WITH JUST MY OWN HANDS!" Sasuke smirked.
"You can count me in too, after all if I beat them, then I'll be that much closer to be able to fight him" Kakashi didn't appear enthusiastic about doing this job...
Watching the Battle (Anko's POV)
Anko was gripping the tree she was hiding in with enough force to snap a 5 foot thick branch in half. That, stain of human existence wanted to leave her destined mate alone, to face Jonnin level Shinobi in combat. And while he probably could take out Zabuuza (Harem no Jutsu), those girls probably could destroy him, even with Sasuke aiding him.
She couldn't aid him as long as Hatake was there, or else the civilian council would eat this up, before calling on the Daimyo, and all that would bring was chaos.
They could kill the council, and the Daiymo could send his own troops to the leaf village. A civil war would erupt.
They could kill the Daiymo, and his heirs apparent, or even rival factions, would easily start a civil war that would be a lot worse then the other scenario, for it would be a lot more likely that public opinion will be with the heir than them.
She could kill Hatake, but the death of a sensei could leave a lot of red tape. Namely, tape put up by the civilian council due to Naruto being a Jinchuriki. Sakura being the head civilian banshee's daughter would give them even more maneuverability in complaining grounds.
Killing her, that would be a problem too. The Civilians would force a lot of red tape over anything they could with Naruto...wait who was that?
Bridge (Naruto's AMV)
"Tsk Tsk, thinking of getting away Mr. Mask. How, pathetic" a voice said from the Wave side of the bridge. Turning, each group found themselves staring at a brown cloaked man, shaking his head.
"HEY, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! I AM NOT PATHETIC..."
"Fire Release; Hair on Fire Jutsu" Sakura's eyes went wide as her head began burning.
"AHHHH!" Sakura screamed, running around with her head set on fire, before jumping off the bridge. The man sighed.
"I couldn't help but overhear your speech, one who looks like a sunset muted of red, and I can't help but say, its quite touching. Now then, seeing as though Fang kid ain't doing anything useful, I'll handle Swedish Chef over there" he noted to Zabuuza. Zabuuza glared at him.
"I don't know if that was supposed to be an insult, but I don't have anything to do with..."
"Oh, I can give you information on a Mr., Yagura I believe, and a few guys with black cloaks" Zabuuza blinked.
"Handle the leaf genin" he charged at the strange man, as the girls confronted Naruto. Kakashi stepped back, sort of in a position to both 'guard' Tazuuna, and watch Naruto get massacred.
"There's no convincing you to give up the bridge builder, is there" the red head asked politely. Naruto shook his head. She sighed.
"Oh poh, well at least, I'll give you a kiss worth melting under" she smirked. Naruto blushed, before she body flickered right on top of him, to a point he was facing her chest directly.
"Lava Release; Melting Kiss!" fire and earth chakra fluttered across her lips, before she reached for his own...
"CLONE EXPLOSION TECHNIQUE!" Naruto, or rather the clone, exploded, blasting the girl back as the real Naruto leapt up from below, with a group of shadow clones.
"Guard the old man, protect him at all costs" the clones nodded as the red head forced herself back up, her face now revealed, a stunningly beautiful face with light green eyes. The remains of her mask lay on the ground between them.
"Mei" the other one asked worried. She smiled.
"Not bad, this might actually be fun. The old thing was always sort of unpleasant anyway to wear, you should really remove it Haku. Now then, let the fun begin" Sasuke now was in position to fight the other female, Haku, as the battle began.
"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" dozens of Naruto flew at Mei, all with Kunai in hand. She smirked.
"Earth Release; Golem Laurel Jutsu!" dozens of mud balls flew from Mei's mouth, blasting down the shadow clones as the real Naruto flew in for a punch to the top of the chin, which Mei dodged with a bend, before kneeing Naruto in the stomach, sending him into the air.
"Water Release; Violent Water Wave" a blast of water flew from her mouth, impacting into Naruto and blasting him over the side of the bridge...
"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Naruto formed a shadow clone chain, which spun around in the air like a lasso before sending Naruto flying up in an angle, before the rest followed him like a flock of birds.
"This level of chakra, how much does he have..." Mei absently commented, as each clone drew shurikan and sent them flying.
"ALL DIRECTIONS SHURIKAN!" a metal rain of deadly tools flew straight at her, all prepared to slice in apart.
"Earth Release; Earth Dome!" a dome of earth formed around Mei at her command, blocking the metal attack. Meanwhile, Sasuke was blocking senbon from the other girl, Haku, with two kunai in each hand.
"Give it up, and I will not be forced to kill you" Haku commented. Sasuke grinned.
"I won't die, not until I can kill him. Fire Release; Fireball Jutsu!" a fireball was lobbied straight at the girl, who dodged it with shocking speed, without body flicker.
"What!" Haku appeared behind Sasuke, with a dozen senbon in hand.
"Die!" the senbon lodged themselves into Sasuke's back, making him look sort of like a hedgehog hanyou, before a sphere of water began forming in her hand.
"Water Release; Liquid Sphere!*" the ball was sent flying at Sasuke, who dodged the thing out of nowhere.
"WHAT!" Sasuke opened his eyes, showing off a Sharingan with one tomae in each eye.
"The Sharingan?" Sasuke had a large grin.
"Finally, now prepare to be my fist victory with my new eyes" he briefly turned his attention over to Naruto's fight, where he was currently dodging Phoenix Flower like some cartoon character.
"FIRE RELEASE; PHOENIX FLOWER JUTSU!" dozens of small fire balls flew from Sasuke's mouth, only blocked by a wall of ice.
"ICE?" Haku shook her head.
"Mei, watch the Fire moves, this guy can copy them!" Mei, who was about to launch more, stopped and avoided a clone pile drive.
"Its time to poach them, what do you think" Mei commented. Haku shrugged.
"I wish you didn't call it that, but okay" Mei jumped away from Naruto, as Haku focused.
"ICE RELEASE; ICE MIRROR DOME*" a giant dome of ice rose up around all of them, aside for Tazuna, Zabuuza, Kakashi, the stranger and Sakura, who were out of range, trapping them in a airtight dome of ice. Naruto, his clones and Sasuke were looking around confused, as Haku shimmered into the ice wall around them, with Mei breathing in.
"Boil Release; Skilled Mist Technique" steam began to spew from Mei's mouth, filling the encased space.
"Wait, what the..." Naruto's clones began to steam and dispel, as burns began covering Sasuke and Naruto.
