An: I like to thank Kyuubi123 for checking this over. This chapter is long so enjoy.
Anko: 11
Kin: 6
Tayuya: 2
Iwa : 1(shocking but I understand it, that one way to get back at his family)
Leave it the way it is: 2
These are the vote so far, I keep the voting going until next week Friday. Now one person asks me to add in the harem, I have nothing against that pairing but I'm not ready to do a pairing with the female vixen. I feel that I have no love plot for her in this story, maybe in another story but for now not yet. One more thing(cue Uncle from Jackie chan) Any other chicks that didn't make it will be paired off with other characters I'll admit to one of my readers; Shino has become one of my favorites to write in this story I don't know why but I'm having way too much fun writing about him. I will have him paired up with someone but it has to wait. Now on to business I decided to skip the first fight scene with Zabuza. The events before (included the demon brothers) and during the fight and after it, which are the same as the manga, what I still have planned for you all to witness, Is team eight journey to reach team seven. This is the chapter where the real Naruto really comes out. Enjoy and remember the votes still go on.
Ch.5
FLASHBACK START
"Please I beg you, send us and only us." said Hinata.
"I'm sorry but I cannot allow another team of newly fresh genin to be placed in dange., You three are not ready to handle this type of mission until you gain more experience." The third said calmly.
"THEN SEND ONLY ME!" yelled Hinata, while tears poured out from her eyes.
'Hinata???' thought Kiba.
"I've never see her like this. All those times within the ninja academy and not once have I seen her display these strong feelings. Naruto you have no idea how much you actually mean to her." thought Shino.
"I will not send you." The third replied back.
"BUT THIS ISN'T RIGHT!" She desperately and practically screamed at him.
"YOUNG LADY I WILL NOT HAVE YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE AGAINST ME! I AM THE HOKAGE AND YOU WILL SHOW ME THE RESPECT I DERSERVE!"
"Lord Hokage--- I request permission for you to allow me to take my team to assist team seven." Kurenai said calmly.
The third eyes widened on this. Hinata looked at Kurenai and then back at the Hokage. The third looked at each of them. Kiba looked like he didn't care but at the same time curious. Shino seemed indifferent but he felt that he too was anxious to go, and lastly Hinata. Her eyes were pleading for him to send them, he could figure out why. He was well aware of her love for Naruto, however he felt that it may be in vain. Each report he got from Kakashi frightened him. Naruto was changing and maybe not for the best. To make matters worse, there was a meeting today regarding the boy and his status as an heir to the Namikaze clan. But this isn't what scared him. He believed that Naruto was striking out against the people of Konoha. He'd seen the reports from his anbu officer and people have been murdered and although it pointed to suicide he believed otherwise. Although it decreases, peoples have now gone missing. It was almost as if someone was covering up evidence of these murder. He hopeed Naruto wasn't involved. Right now he had to make a decision, to let team eight go or not.
"Very well I will allow it just this once." He said calmly.
Hinata smiled behind this, she wiped her tears with her hands. "Thank y-you lo-lord H-Hokage." She said stuttering.
"Team eight get the necessary tools and equipment and meet me by the village entrance gates in fifteen minute. The clock is ticking so get a move on people." ordered Kurenai.
"Hai" team eight responded back as they left the room. Only Kurenai, a couple of people who work in the mission room, the chunin woman, and the Third were left. "Kurenai I hope you know what you're getting yourself into, you're not the type to agree to something like this." Said the third.
"Lord Hokage it's true I would have never allowed this to happen, however regardless of my decision Hinata would have disobeyed orders and gone anyway." Answered Kurenai.
"It's her love for Naruto that's keeping her going, however it may be her undoing." The third said calmly.
"My lord what do you mean?" Said a puzzled Kurenai
"Naruto has changed, be careful things will become hellish." said a stern Hokage.
"Hai" she answered back.
END FLASHBACK
AT THE FOREST WHERE TEAM SEVEN FOUGHT ZABUZA
"So what did you learn Kiba?" Ask Kurenai.
"There was a battle here, team seven and some guy I don't know." said Kiba.
"Woof-woof" barked Akamaru.
"What's he saying?" Kurenai asked.
"Akamaru said a female ninja was here and took that unknown guy far away." Kiba answered back.
"This is true; my bugs detect faint chakra signals. My bugs will not be able to track those two ninjas." said Shino.
"Neither will I." Kiba agree.
"Sensei besides the environment being in a bad shape behind the battle, I'm picking up a strong signal of chakra leading further south. The signal is strong but fading away, I don't know whose chakra it is." Hinata said with her Byakugan activated.
"It must be Hatake Kakashi, he was once in anbu corp. This is a tactic that uses one's own chakra to signal others nearby to come to their aid. Kakashi want's us to follow him and his team." Kurenai briefed them.
"Then this is not good. Kakashi-san must be injured if he's broadcasting his chakra" Said Shino.
'I hoped Naruto got injured. No in fact I hope he lost his legs. Just what the hell does she see in him? He looks and smells as a fox. Don't worry Hinata I show you who's the top dog when I save the day.' Thought Kiba.
"Come on Kiba, we're moving out now" ordered Kurenai.
"Coming sensei". Kiba reply back.
TAZUNA'S HOUSE
Kakashi began to open his eyes; the first person he saw was a beautiful mid thirty year old woman. Then he noticed he wasn't outside in the woods, but instead he find himself in a room with a woman. Judging from her looks, he guessed she was a relative of Tazuna. The woman noticed he was awake. She walked up to his futon bed.
"You're awake, for a moment you had your students worried. I'm Tsunami, daughter to Tazuna the bridge builder. You're in my home, right now I'll have your students speak with you but I want you to rest up ok?"
"Understood." Kakashi tiredly said back.
Tsunami walked out the room. After a few minutes the door to the room opened up. Sasuke entered the room followed shortly by Sakura, and finally Naruto. "Sit down I must talk with you three." ordered Kakashi.
Sasuke and Sakura sat down in front of him. Only Naruto chose to stand near the door with his arms folded. Kakashi paid him no mind. He cleared his throat ready let them know his theory. "Tell me, what the real purpose of a hunter ninja is." He questioned them.
"To hunt rogue ninjas." answered Sakura.
"Yes but their jobs are also to annihilate their victims so no evidence will be leaked out. You see when a person becomes a rogue; he takes with him/her their village's secrets, if those secrets were to be leaked out. The village that rogue came from will be in danger. A hunter ninja's job is to find and wipe out the rogue ninja. Once that's done they obliterate the body so no traces are left behind. What I'm saying is that young boy we saw is not a hunter ninja. He did not destroy the body on the spot instead he carried it away. My guess is that young boy is working for Zabuza and it was a ruse. Zabuza is alive." Kakashi explained.
"But Sensei you killed him, you even checked his pulse and confirmed he was dead." Sakura said in a panic.
"That is true, but have you noticed that fake hunter's choice of weapons?" Kakashi replied back.
Sasuke eyes widen, he finally got what Kakashi was hinting at. He was about to answer, however Naruto beat him to it. "Senbon, are actually needles. While mainly used for acupuncture some shinobi, properly trained, can use them as deadly weapons. One of the reasons it is not all that popular is that it requires extreme accuracy and speed. For these are only deadly if they hit a vital area of the body. This is a fact I know all too well. When I was younger I was attacked by shinobi using senbon needles and trust me those guys were fast."
"Why were you attack" Sakura questioned him, Sasuke looked at Naruto also wanting to know.
"Oh that's simple----NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" He answered back annoyed with her presence.
"HEY DON'T SNAPPED AT ME LIKE THAT I WAS JUST WONDERING!" She shrieked.
"AND I SAID IT AGAIN IT'S-NONE-OF-YOUR-BUSINESS!" He yelled and spelled it out for her. Sakura was about ready to attack him; Kakashi didn't feel in the mood for this. Since they became a team, there had been problems between all three of them. Right now he decided to nip this in the butt, before it became a problem too big.
"ENOUGH, RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO BE UNITED AND NOT DIVIDED!" Kakashi exploded.
"Pink haired bitch" Naruto mutters to himself.
Kakashi sighed and calmly took a breather. "During these weeks we will train so we can be prepared when we face Zabuza again".
Just then Tazuna entered the room with his daughter Tsunami. Tsunami didn't looked pleased, than her father decided to speak.
"I must thank you once again for protecting me; with you three here I can safely build the bridge that will help our land." Said Tazuna.
"Zabuza's still alive." Kakashi flat out told him.
"Excuse me?" Tazuna said starting to get scared.
"You heard me." Kakashi respond back.
"Dear god but how? You said he was dead. Hell you killed him I saw it!" Said a nervous Tazuna.
Tsunami grew scared, her father's life once again in danger. She stood quiet not knowing what to say in these types of situations. "I did, but he was in a near death state set up by that fake hunter. They are working together, and I'm willing to guess we have a week before they both appear again."
"A week? Shit that's not even time to prepare." Said Tazuna.
"Do not worry my team and I will not allow you to come to any harm, we will be ready by then." said Kakashi.
"WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE, WHAT ARE DOING IN MY FAMILY HOUSE?" Shouted a young boy near the doorway. Everyone turned their attention to see a young boy with a hat over his brown hair. The boy didn't look pleased to see strangers in his home. He kept his distance near the doorway.
"Inari you're home, look who came back home." Tsunami said trying to lighten the mood for her son.
"INARI MY GRANDSON, I AM HOME!" Tazuna shouted. He was happy to see his grandson again. Inari saw his grandfather. He ran up to him, and gave him a hug. Tazuna returned the hug and started to pat him on the head in a calming manner.
"These brave ninja protected me on my way back from Konoha. Their job is to protect me until the bridge is built. They will keep all the bad guys away from me."
"It makes no different they will all be killed by Gato."
"Inari!" Tsunami scorns him.
"Hmph" Inari run out the room not wanting to be around these people he didn't know.
"What a little ungrateful brat." Naruto replied to no one.
"You all must forgive him, for he is a victim just like everyone within these lands. Since Gato took over this land, there hasn't been peace but only chaos. Don't mind my grandson, he is a good kid."
"Dad I'll handle Inari. As for everyone else your sensei needs his rest." Tsunami set her orders.
"You heard the lady; I will take some needed rest. I want all of you on standby."
"Are we expecting another attack?" Sasuke asked.
"No not at all. Earlier against Zabuza I purposely sent my chakra out. I was once a member of the anbu black ops and that's a tactic uses to signal other anbu or Jonin ninja. Hopefully my messenger dog requestsedhelp from lord Hokage, so expect a team of Jonin to arrive." Kakashi explain.
"When did you send a messenger? I didn't see you use any dog." Sakura asked Kakashi.
"Are you for real? He requested help after dealing with those two rogue nins who attacked us." Naruto said.
"Naruto please not now. I need my rest, please try to get along with your teammates." Kakashi pleaded with him.
"Whatever." Naruto stormed out the room; Sasuke, and Sakura followed right behind.
"WHAT 'SYOUR PROBLEM NARUTO BAKA!" Sakura shout at him.
"Dobe stop trying to act like a bad ass." Sasuke said.
"First off I'm not acting this is the real me, and my problem is simple. You're useless Sakura." Naruto answered both of them.
"WHAT?" Sakura respond back.
"I didn't shudder. Since we became a so called team, all you do is sit on the sideline and watch Sasuke and myself do all the fight. What did you do? I'll tell you---way to go Sasuke-kun---you are so strong Sasuke-kun. In fact why the hell are you even a shinobi?"
"I-I" She shudders.
"Don't answer that. You know what a sheltered brat like yourself should do? Instead of being a shinobi, you should become a cheerleader. It would be a good life for you, because you never have to worry about the dangerous life of being a shinobi, and you can cheer for your Sasuke-kun all day long." Naruto chuckled.
Sakura broke down and began to cry. Sasuke glared at Naruto; Naruto smirked back at Sasuke , almost like he was daring the Uchiha to attack.
"You got problem mister avenger? Oh I get it you don't want the so called dobe upstaging you? Don't let your ego grow just because we got pass those two rogue nins, and Zabuza. Remember this duck ass, you need my help against Zabuza. Without me you, Kakashi, and Sakura would have been fish food. So remember what I said, and keep this mind. You ain't the shit and you'll never be the shit." Naruto walked away leaving Sasuke to stare at his fleeing back; Sakura crying her eyes out while she sat in front of Kakashi room door, her knees up to her chest.
WITH NARUTO
"Hey kid where you going?" Tazuna said, as he watched Naruto head for the door.
"I'm just going to scout the area. Don't worry you have the others to keep you company. Also keep an eye out for Jonin ninja from the hidden leaf. They will help us out against those targeting you."
"Oh ok, well make sure to come back kid. It was because of you that we survived against Zabuza in the first place." Tazuna said to the blond spiky hair boy.
Naruto walk out the front door and closed it behind him. And just before he left, he heard Tsunami ask her father something. "Father is that boy really that strong for his age? He looks kind of young to be even considered a threat."
"Tsunami when I first met that kid. I considered him to be weak because of his height. It was until he battled against Zabuza, and he freed his sensei. I come to realize I was a fool. He is strong and I personally believe he will become Hokage like he says he will." Tazuna explained to his daughter about Naruto.
Naruto took that moment to leave; He began to walk towards the town.
TWELVE MINUTES LATER
A knock was heard on the front door of house. Tsunami who was closer to the living room walk towards the door. She opened it half way just to be sure on who it is. Tsunami noticed a woman with red eyes, and with her were three children and a white small dog. Kurenai noticed the woman before her confusion. She decided to introduce herself and her team.
"Good evening I'm Yuhi Kurenai and this is Hyuuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, and Inuzuka Kiba. We are team eight, and we were ordered by lord Hokage to assist team seven on this mission." Kurenai explained to the woman before her.
"Yes you're the team we heard of from Kakashi-san and Naruto-san." Tsunami said assuming they were the team of Jonins.
"Naruto---so he's a-alright?" Hinata asked Tsunami.
"Fine from what I can tell. Right now he's not here at the moment." Tsunami answered the girl back.
"Where did he go? Did he at least tell you anything?" Shino now asked Tsunami.
"He told my father he was going to scout the area, hold on. Dad!" Tsunami shouted for her father.
"No need to shout I'm awake." Tazuna said while walking down the stairs.
"Dad did Naruto say he was going scouting?" She asked her father unsure if Naruto went scouting.
"Yes that's what he told me, but that was twelve minutes ago. He probably went into town, but there's not much he can look for our town is very poor. By the way are you the Jonin that is assigned to assist team seven?" Tazuna asked Kurenai.
"Yes I'm a Jonin however my team consists of genin, but do not worry my team can handle this." Kurenai said .
"Kurenai you're not the type to be irresponsible. That is very unlike you to allow newly fresh genin to take an A-rank mission." Kakashi said while being helped down the stairs by his two students.
"You're one to talk about being irresponsible. You continued on with this mission knowing the dangers that waited. But enough about that, what are we up against?" She asked Kakashi.
Kakashi who was help by his two students took a seat in the living room chair. Tsunami allowed team eight in. Kakashi sat in the living waiting for everyone to get comfortable. "Before I answer that, have any of you run into Naruto out there?" Kakashi asked team eight.
"No I'm afraid not" Kurenai replied back to Kakashi question.
"Well I guess it can't be help. Now then to answer your question. After the attack by the Demon brothers, my team and I decided to continue the mission. Soon after we arrived in the land of the wave, the Demon of the mist Momochi Zabuza attacked us. We learned that he was hired to kill Tazuna, but thans to good teamwork we were able defeat him. However he got away with some help from a fake hunter ninja."
"Momochi Zabuza, former member of the seven swordsmen of the mist. Kakashi my god this is an A-rank mission! Zabuza is too much too handle!" She said as she lost her cool and yelled at him.
"That may be so but what's done is done. Zabuza and his partner are preparing themselves for me and my team. But he won't be expecting you and your team that will be the key in truly defeating him." Kakashi explained to both teams.
"I don't know Kakashi I feel that this will not work, but I don't see any other choices here." Kurenai said while she looked towards Hinata. Hinata looked very nervous. Kurenai assumed it was about the mission, but she was wrong. That's not what was bugging her at the moment. Hinata was thinking of Naruto, her thoughts really on what he would think of seeing her here.
WITH NARUTO
Naruto was walking back to Tazuna house, his thoughts on what he had seen in town. The town looked like something out of a bad movie, it was truly a slum. Hardly anything of worth was there. A lot of laid off people, thieves, and homeless children. Naruto admitted one thing. He loved Gato's idea of making people suffer. He felt a little hurt he had to kill the man. He wished he got to learn under this man as his ways ruling was what he had planned for Konoha. A smile crept across his face; he knew it would be the perfect revenge for all those who wronged him. He would kill those who were against him, imprison those that claimed to be his family, and finally he would rule over the weak. This was his way of thinking; call it Survival of the fittest. Soon he got to the front door and heard voices. He assumed the Jonin arrive. Naruto felt uneasy for a moment as he thought heard Kiba's voice.
WITHIN TAZUNA HOME
(Naruto misses hearing the story of Kaiza, Inari went to his room)
"Akamaru is the best dog, he can also sense chakra with his nose, so he can judge an enemy's strength and warn me if they are particularly powerful." Kiba explained to everyone in the living room.
"Interesting that's one amazing ninja dog." Tazuna said in response.
Akamaru look towards the front door and began to growl. Sasuke noticed Akamaru behavior. He looked towards Kiba, which he noticed Kiba staring at the door also. "Kiba what his problem? Why are both of you staring at the door?"
"Naruto is back." was all Kiba said.
Hinata face lightened up. The one she was looking forward to was back, but her fears of rejection was weighing a lot on her heart.
Naruto opened the front door. He stared at everyone in the living room. His face was blank, not one hint of emotion on his face. He quietly moved pass everyone, paying no mind to everyone looking at him. He stopped in front of his Sensei. Naruto stared the man in his visible eyed. "Now correct me if I'm wrong, but you said you sent a messenger dog to request for a team of Jonin."
"Yes that's the plan." Kakashi calmly reply back.
"Then please explain why there is one Jonin, and another team of genin. One I'm cool with, another who's using me, and the last one that smells like a wet dog." Naruto stated.
"Look now I know you upset, but we came up with a plan." Kakashi told him.
"What's this plan then?" Naruto asked Kakashi.
"Team eight will lay in wait and when the time comes, they will ambush him and his masked friend." Kakashi explain.
Naruto walked away and headed for the stairs. Kakashi noticed Naruto's attitude and for once he was getting tired of it. "Hold on don't you walk away from me when I'm talking with you, what's wrong? You've been buggy since team seven was formed. You don't think I didn't notice the fake façade you place on yourself, well you're wrong mister. Tomorrow you will act like an actual shinobi. We have training tomorrow so be on your best behavior." Sasuke, Sakura, and Kiba smiled at Naruto getting chewed out, while Kurenai was trying to figure him out along with Shino, and Hinata. Kakashi wasn't done yet he kept talking "Tomorrow you will be doing the tree climbing training. It will teach you how to control your chakra. You Naruto need it the most."
Naruto stop walking, instead he turned towards the nearest wall. He gathered chakra through his feet. He placed his left foot on the wall along with his right foot. He began to walk up the wall and towards the room he would be sleeping in. Everyone sat there not saying a word as they were completely stunned. Sasuke grit his teeth along with Kiba. Sakura's mouth hung in shock along with Kakashi and Kurenai. Shino sat there staring and finally nodded as if approving what Naruto just did, and Hinata started to smile. One thing for sure they didn't know Naruto like they thought they did.
THE NEXT DAY IN THE WOODS NEAR TAZUNA
Team eight and team seven were standing in front of a couple of big trees. Only Naruto leaned up against a nearby tree watching. He had his arms folded, an act that told everyone he didn't want to be there. Every few seconds Sasuke would look back towards Naruto, which lead both the boys in a staring contest. Sasuke did not like the idea that someone was stronger than him. To him it showed he was nowhere near the strength he needed to be when he went after his own brother. Since last night he kept asking himself, where Naruto got his strength from. His thoughts came to an end when Kakashi started to explain to them how to perform the tree climbing training.
"This training includes gathering chakra into the feet and climbing up a tree. It teaches control chakra by bringing out the correct amount in the proper area. The amount of chakra needed to climb a tree is minimal, but it has to be perfect. The bottom of the foot is the hardest area to gather chakra. Once you keep trying you will build up your chakra storage, and by learning to control chakra, an individual can master any jutsu if they try." Kakashi explained to his team while giving them an example as he walk up the tree. He only used his clutches as his support.
Kurenai didn't like how Kakashi took so long to teach his genin this type of training. Normally a jonin was supposed to teach them this the moment they became a team. This type of waiting would create problem. Which in their case it has as it's probably why Naruto is cold to his team. She asks herself if Kakashi neglecting his students. She did not know how to answer that, for she didn't know much about Kakashi. She made a mental note to ask Asuma about him.
Another thing that worried her was Naruto himself. She was aware he had the Kyuubi seal inside of him, and she was aware that he didn't live a charmed life. What frightened her was that he was getting strong too fast, and the fact that Kakashi wasn't aware of his growing strength. That couls also lead to many problems as it reminded her of Uchiha Itachi.
He was the heir of the Uchiha clan who murdeedr his own family for power, leaving only his brother alive, so he could have someone to test his so call power. Itachi at a very young age was gifted; he was a genius who graduated from the academy and later became an anbu captain in the beginning of his teenage years. Naruto was showing small signs that he may be the next Itachi, and she hoped she was wrong about that. For now she broke out of her thoughts when she noticed Kakashi was staring at her with concern, she missed hearing Naruto stating he going to watch over Tazuna.
"Team eight since you already know how to do this training I want you to assist them any way you can."
"Sensei"
"Yes Hinata"
"Can I p-please watch o-over Tazuna-san also?" She asks her sensei.
Kurenai thought about it for awhile, and finally she made her decision. "Yes you may"
"Kurenai-sensei I too wish to help to watch over Tazuna-san." Kiba also ask her.
"No." Kurenai replied back to him.
"But why?" Kiba asked not understanding her answer.
"I need you here to help team seven with their training, Shino cannot do this alone. Do not worry about Hinata she can handle any threat that's willing to attack Tazuna, and plus Naruto is with Tazuna" She explain.
"Fine I get it." Kiba said but deep down he was pissed, and he fear edfor Hinata well being.
AT KONOHA COUNCIL MEETING
"Today a brief meeting will be discussing the current position of Namikaze Naruto." Mitokado Homura stated.
"All here who vote Namikaze Naruto to be placeed under the Clan Restoration Act say I"Said Utatane Koharu.
Everyone said I except for Gen and Shikaku. Then Homura asked if any one against it say Nah. Gen and Shikaku were the ones to voice Nah. This shocked everyone including Choza and Inoichi.
"Shikaku I don't understand my friend why are you against this?" Choza question him.
"It's too troublesome to mention, however I believe that something bad will come from it. Already Naruto has changed and not for the best. I just have a bad feeling about this." He answered back.
"I agree with Nara-san,.Minato himself was not placed in the C.R.A" Gen pointed out.
"That'd only because he married Kushina, and look how that turned out. If only he took a Konoha woman as his wife things wouldn't have turned out like this." Tsume said in anger.
"Tsume you must let it go. Minato didn't choose you. He saw you as his friend and nothing more" Shikaku said to her.
"I know that already, but still look how Naruto was treated." She tried to point out.
"I beg to differ." Gen reply back.
Everyone stared at him, some trying to figure out what he meant. Hiashi wanted to know the most on what Gen was hinting at. "
What do you mean Aburame-san?" Hiashi asked him.
"Tsume you said that if Minato would have taken a Konoha woman as his wife that Naruto would have been better off. I say you're wrong" Gen stated.
"What?" everyone but Shikaku voiced it out.
"It would have been the same result; Naruto would have been treated unjust by our people, maybe even by his own mother for the lost of her husband. We're only human, that why it's so easy for us to do things that are wrong. Also a lot of people has been killed or went missing. I hate to say this, but I believe Naruto is responsible for those people's disappearances."
"No I refuse to believe that!" Hiashi yells that out.
"When a person is pushed too far, they will do the unthinkable just to survive. That is what you call Survival of the fittest." Gen calmly replied back.
"Yes and under Survival of the fittest one must protect himself/herself from all threats including those who trying to help him. If Naruto is the killer why now did he take the moment to strike?" Said a man with bandage wrapping covering his right eye. This man looks to be the same age as the hokage himself. He walked in the room before council with his cane. The man was missing an arm but he still managed to move in. The council didn't look happy to see him except for the Hokage's advisors. The third grit his teeth, he had a history with this man. This man once ran for the position of the third Hokage, although he lost. He plotted on more than one occasion to become this village leader. Problem is the third barely have any proof to lock up or execute this man.
"Danzo why are you here?" The third questioned the man now known as Danzo.
"Sarutobi I'm here to tell you who the real murderer is." Danzo calmly replied back.
WITH NARUTO AND HINATA
Naruto and Hinata were guarding Tazuna. Tazuna and his crew were arguing over finishing the bridge being the fact they were frightened of Gato and what he was capable of doing. Naruto looked at Hinata, and she look back with a small blush.
'I might as well say I'm sorry. Knowing Hinata she's not the type to try a devilish act. Her Father is an unknown factor though. He does look like the type to use people, and I did state that I need followers in my quest. And I cannot get any followers if I keep chasing some people away, but for now I will keep a close eye on her. Plus she also said she'd do anything for me, that'd something I can use. I can stomach Hinata as she's better than other girls my age. That old dog bitch did say to put me in the Clan Restoration Act, I'll go along with it only so I can get Hinata's father out in the opening, and plus I can learn more about the council, their strength and their weakness.' Thought Naruto. For a while they stood quiet, and then Naruto decided to break the silence.
"Hinata-chan I'm sorry for how I treated you last week."
"No-no it ok, it was my fault. You were right my father is trying something but I don't k-know what." Hinata explained to Naruto.
"No offense Hinata but your father is scary." Naruto lied.
"I-I know he frightens me also." Hinata placed her head down.
Naruto lifted her head up so she was looking at him. Her tears poured out her eyes. She was upset that her father was using her. All she wanted was his respect but it was not meant to be. Naruto kissed her right on her forehead. Hinata blushed harder then she had every done before. She couldn't believe Naruto kissed her! She was about to faint thinking it was a dream, but Naruto caught her attention.
"Do not faint you're too beautiful for that, and besides we need to guard Tazuna incase he's attacked." Naruto told her.
"O-ok" She shyly replied back.
"I was upset because your father and the Council is forcing me go through the Clan Restoration Act. I have no way to stop that. But I won't love any of the others girls and you know why?" He asked her.
"W-why" She shyly replies back.
"Because none of them will understand me like you do, Hinata I need you. I request for you to be my first wife because I feel I'm losing myself. Plus it's the only way to catch what some people are trying to achieve against me. Will you always be by my side?" Naruto asked her. He knew she'd do anything for him and he was planning to hear yes.
"Y-yes Na-Naruto-kun, I will always be by your side. I told you before I'd do anything for you, for I love you for who you are and nothing else." Hinata rested her head on his shoulders. Naruto wrapped his arms around her waist. Naruto smiled knowing he'd won; his dreams were becoming much brighter.
"Thank you Hinata-chan" He replied back with a smile. A dark evil smile that Hinata unfortunately failed to catch.
LATER THAT NIGHT AT TAZUNA HOUSE
"Don't you people get it! Gato is powerful. You'll all be killed by his men. There are no real heroes, so you all don't know what it likes to suffer!" Inari shouted.
"Excuse me. Are you stating that I don't know what suffering is?" Naruto said as got in Inari's face.
"Naruto-kun pl-please don't" Hinata said in an attempt to ward off the explosion she knew was about to come.
"No my princess he needs to hear this, and so does everyone else. Listen little brat you don't know what real suffering is. When I was born my Father the fourth Hokage sealed an evil demon within me knowing my life would hell, have you ever heard of Kyuubi no Kitsune? Well that's the beast my father died sealing with in me. Before he died, he wrote a letter to me and guess what it all said? He was asking forgiveness on making my life shitty; he said it was for the good of Konoha that I must burden his sin. My mother has forsaken me and gave me up only raising my twin sister. Yes don't be surprised a mother can do that to one of her own children. She doesn't have to love me and she did just that. When I was three I was kicked out by the orphanage and lived on the street for a year. I had to eat whatever I can find. I had gotten beatings from adults and children for having the demon sealed inside of me. Our Leader the third Hokage allowed it, because he couldn't play favorites with me, not when he had a whole village to worry about. This continued on even when I was twelve when I found out the truth about my family and the demon. At least you have a loving family, I wasn't so lucky. SO DON'T YOU EVER TELL ME THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT SUFFERING IS, WHEN YOU HAVEN'T LIVED A FUCKED UP LIFE!" Naruto finished telling him off and walked out the house.
Kurenai looked towards Kakashi for answer. She got them when Kakashi placed his head down. Shino respected Naruto more now. His bugs warned him in the past that Naruto was different but he knew it would lead to this. In his view Naruto is a hero. This got him to think a lot about how people treated others.
Kiba grew afraid of Naruto, he finally understood what his mother was hinting at when he was younger, in his book Naruto was truly a monster. Sakura was afraid, for she shared Kiba's view on Naruto but she felt somewhat sorry for him. Sasuke was mad. He was mad because Naruto was a cheater in his felt that he was only strong because of the demon sealed inside of him. However part of him wished to fight Naruto to prove even if he had a dark power, Naruto was still a dobe and a weakling compared to him.
Hinata, who already knew from Naruto himself, began to watch everyone closely. She could have gone after Naruto, but she knew he needed his space right now. She chose to stay behind, wanting to know who really his friends and who not. With the corner of her lavender eyes she viewed each of them. Kurenai seemed hurt, probably over hearing Naruto was the fourth son. Kakashi seemed hurt the most. Tazuna and his family seem sorry for Naruto. Inari sat there not moving, absorbing what Naruto told him. Sakura have a look of confusion. Shino looked back at her and gave a nod, and she found three people so far that accepted Naruto. And then there was Kiba and Sasuke, she noticed the looks from them and knew they did not see Naruto as a human being. This started to make her mad and she didn't want to be around them. Hinata got up from her seat and she walked towards the staircase looking right back at Sasuke and Kiba who seem to notice her glare.
"You two make me sick." Hinata said clearly without shuddering. She walks up the stairs not paying attention to them or anyone.
"Fine I guess Hinata is a demon lover after all." Kiba said no longer caring what she thought or anyone else thought.
"Kiba!!" Kurenai scorns him.
"How dare you Kiba. Now you're going to judge Hinata!" Shino got in his face finally losing his cool.
"Why are you making it such a big deal for? Kiba's right Naruto's a lowly monster. So if Hinata wants to be stupid and go with a demon than she's a demon lover." Sasuke said backing Kiba up.
"What's wrong with you two, didn't you hear what he said. His own father sealws a demon in him, he's a victim!" Tazuna snapws at both the boys.
"That boy is a hero you two. His very will is what keeps that beast lock away." Kurenai explainws to them.
"Is it true, did his own mother abandon him?" Tsunami said trying to be calm.
"His mother Uzumaki Kushina did more than just abandon him. S-She t-tried to kill him" Kakashi nervously explain to everyone.
Sakura looked like she wanted to cry more. Shino stared at Kakashi in disbelief. Kiba and Sasuke showed no sign of regret or sorrow. Tazuna's mouth hung open. Inari ran upstairs crying, and Tsunami growled and walked away to a corner cursing to herself. Kurenai took it the hardest as she couldn't believe hearing Kushina did something so low. Her friend Anko looked up to both Minato and Kushina,and if she heard that Kushina was just like the villager with their hate, it would crush her. Tonight was not a good night for anyone.
The next few days Naruto refused to rest in the house; he even turned down Tsunami and Tazuna offer to come back in. Instead he slept outside at the forest. Most of the time Shino and Hinata would join him. But most of the time Shino left both Naruto and Hinata spend a night alone while he stayed close by. Kiba and Sasuke avoided Naruto like the plague itself. While Sakura kept her distance but would sometimed try to talk to Naruto, though he still acted cold around her and said he doesn't want her pity. Kakashi had gotten better and continued to train his team, and the same went for Kurenai and her team. Hinata and Shino no longer said anything to Kiba. Both Senseis feared for the worse and tried their best to fix this problem. Once in awhile they got along with each other but the damage was done. Everything changed one morning when Naruto slept outside.
ONE MORNING
Naruto slept outside. His body appeared to be worn out, a sign of the training he had done. This time he didn't have Shino or Hinata with him. A hand reached out towards him, and out of nowhere Naruto grabbed the hand. He opened his eyes and in front of him stood a very beautiful young girl. She had long black hair going down her shoulders blades, she wore a pink kimono, and in her arms she carried a basket full of herbs.
'She almost as beautiful as Hinata-chan. However something's not right about her. She's carrying herbs. I may not be a doctor but I know what those Herbs do. Their supposed to heal body wounds. I wonder.' Naruto thought to himself.
"You shouldn't sleep here, you'll freeze to death." said the beautiful girl.
"I wasn't sleeping, just resting my eyes." Naruto said to the girl.
"But still---are you a shinobi?" She asks him.
"Well my head band says I am." he tried to joke. However she didn't laugh but smiled a little. "Sorry I'm corny."
"It ok, so why were you here again?"
Naruto briefly explained the reason why he was outside, though he made sure not to reveal anything too important. Naruto as a test brought up his teammate's names on purpose. Haku asked him if they were precious to him.
"You said are they precious? What is precious?"
"Well to me. One only becomes truly strong when protecting their precious people."
"But what if those precious people are really wolves in sheep clothing?"
"What do you mean?" Haku asks him.
"I have few people who I consider to be my friends. I thought I had a lot of so called precious people but guess what? They backstabbed me calling me a monster, and that I'm useless. Is that what you called precious people Ms. Hunter-san?"
The girl's body tensed up for a moment, and finally she relaxed a little though not dropping her guard at all. "How did you know?"
"The herbs you're carrying are for healing bad wounds. I would know for when I was young people would try to kill me for something I have no control over. Our village leader used some herbs on me to heal me though I didn't need it at all."
"Than you're just like me, I also lived a hellish life." Haku said to Naruto.
"That's why I find it hard to believe in having a precious person. It seems fake to me and a load of shit." Naruto said with no remorse.
"That is your view about it, but you are wrong. When I was young I was from a family of farmer sexcept my mother had a blood limit ability of ice. However the land we were from is afraid of those who had special abilities. Normal people view them as monsters or demons. I too have the same ability as my mother. My father found out and gathered a mob. They killed my mother and proceed to kill me. I was so scared that I used my Ice power to kill them including my own father. For months I traveled from one place to the next, living off whatever I could find. I ate from trash cans, and even went so far as to figh a mother dog over food. To everyone else around me I was unimportant. Then one day I met him."
"Zabuza" Naruto answered for her.
"Yes Zabuza-sempai. He found me on the bridge and noticed my condition. I told him he had the same eyes as me. This is true as he was just like me; he knew pain and suffering all too well. I wasn't afraid of him because he acknowledged me while no one else did. He trained me and raised me as his daughter and as his weapon." Haku explained to Naruto.
"Then he is using you. It's just like what I'm trying to say" Naruto snap back.
"If he wanted to use me he wouldn't teach me how to be normal. Yes he trained me to be his weapon but he also gave me a reason for living. You are a shinobi also. You should know that in the way of the Shinobi we're to be tools waiting to be used as seen fit. I do not think you are alone in fact I believe you will find your special someone or you may have already. So now after hearing what I said what will you do? We are enemys after all." Haku explained to him.
"I won't do anything to you. After all you did come unarmed today; you have also lived an unfair life like me. In fact you're free to go"
"Is that wise I could reveal some info to my sempai about you." Haku told him.
"I don't mind if you do, it just makes life interesting. What's your name girl?" Naruto asks.
"Momochi Haku" she reply back.
"Naruto just Naruto, I don't have a last name or a family." He gave his name meaning every word he said.
"Well Naruto I must go and hurry back to Zabuza-sempai." She bowed to him and began to walk away.
"Haku" Naruto called out to her.
Haku turned around and she looked at him. "Yes"
"I will prove to you the ugly side of so called precious people, I will show you at all cost." He warned her. Haku looks at him strongly. She turned around and continued walking away. She passed Hinata on the way, who stare at her strangely. Hinata wondered why a beautiful teenage girl was near her Naruto-kun. She looked towards Naruto for some answers, only to notice he had a grim look full of disdain and odium of his face. Hinata figured this girl did or tried something to get on Naruto's bad side. She wanted to follow this girl and would have but she'd loss plain sight of her.
"Don't bother Hinata-chan she's no normal girl, that was Zabuza's so called Hunter ninja." Naruto flat out told her.
"What did sh-she want?" Hinata ask Naruto.
"She wanted to talk about precious people. That's all she wanted to talk about. Come let's head back and we will not tell the senseis about this." Naruto ordered Hinata.
"But Na-Naruto-kun---"
"Just trust me she didn't learn anything about your team or mine, she did tell me she lived a mess up life like I had. Come let us go before dog boy and duck ass start signing my death paper in pride." He walked away with Hinata following him.
