Everyone Knows what the Bold/italic/quotation marks mean by now so I'm not going to go into them. If you don't know then scroll to previous chapters.
Disclaimer………………..really? Do I really need it? Honestly if I really owned Naruto I would have him break that damn promise or whatever he has, have him battle Sasuke to the end and kill him, have Sakura get a major dose of reality, and have Naruto and Hinata finally hook up with Naruto becoming the Next Hokage.

Chapter 7: Wave: Lies, Drunks, Allies
(Namikaze Estate)
Naruto was still gobsmacked at his new home. The Hokage seen this as well as his Sensei and they began to laugh. The girls soon caught on to what was going on so they tried to bring him out of his daze. After several tries, the girls almost gave up until Hinata came up with what she thought would bring him out of it.
Hinata then got close to Naruto's ear and began to whisper, "Naruto-kun, I have ramen all over my body……want to eat it off me?" She said in a very seductive voice.
That not only brought him out of his daze………….he was completely floored with a massive nosebleed. The group looked at Hinata who had a slight blush on. She shrugged her shoulders as if nothing was wrong while Fuu and Ino was just giggling at her.
"Girls, can we please get him up, I would like to see the place since its been sometime since I been here." the Sandaime said.
The girls agreed and woke Naruto up who had a major blush thanks to Hinata. They got him up and everyone proceeded to head inside.
The place was beautiful and extremely big. There were three housing structures by the looks of it. The middle was obviously the main house since it was the only one that had a two story setting while the other ones were just other housing areas. The building was made out of the finest lumber found in the forest of Konoha. It was completely painted white with several golden dragons swirling around them as if protecting the house. The roof was covered with beautiful red tiles that seemed more like sea instead of a roof. The doors surrounding the area were all white with some windows in the front of the house. On the second floor you can see a balcony that seemed to lead to the master bedroom as it came out to the front of the house.
Leading the way to the house was a beautiful marble road painted with the Uzumaki and the Namikaze symbols in a switching sequence going from Uzumaki then to Namikaze and so on. In the middle of the walk way was a outstanding fountain that seemed about fifteen feet in diameter and eight feet tall. In it was three swans facing each other direction with water spewing from their mouths. Inside the fountain/pond were several underwater plants and with the plants were lots of koi fish. It seemed that the plants were the only things keeping the fish alive throughout these years while the fish been reproducing.
To the right of the walkway along the wall near the right house area was a very large forge area. It seemed that Naruto's father enjoyed crafting weapons and having extra time to keep his hands busy. The group only thought of one person that would love it more than the rest………….Tenten. Too bad she was on a mission with her team and she couldn't be there.
To the left of the walk way laid a very lovely and well kept garden with about forty different species of flowers and herbs. Out of those forty, Ino deduced that five of them were so rare that they can only be found in Iwa very high in the mountains. How Naruto's father got them no one had a clue. Even Sarutobi was astonished to see that herb sitting in Minato's Garden. Hinata and Ino were already in heaven when they seen it and knew where they are spending a lot of their time. Near the garden was a well put together bench/working area to prune and trim some flowers and hold all the gardening tools.
After looking and taking more steps in, the door behind the group suddenly closed and clasped all its locks together.
"Minato, you finally put those locks on the doors didn't you." the Sandaime thought to himself. "Don't worry everyone we can still get out on our own, its just a security mechanism that Naruto's dad installed."
The group sighed in relief and went onto the porch of the main house. Naruto seen another seal and thought if it worked the first time, should work the second. So he cut his thumb and placed the blood on the seal. After three seconds, the doors opened up and letting everyone in.
Inside, the place was beautiful. They all immediately took off their shoes and took a tour. The living room was very well decorated with a nice smooth and soft rug in the middle of the floor with a coffee table on it that had a glass top. There were two huge couches that when sat on, you did not want to get up. There were also two lazy boy chairs that were huge. In front of those was a television to relax and see whats going on. The fireplace had a nice black marble frame too it. Above it was a painting of Minato and a preg-Kushina sitting in their garden.
The group then went into the kitchen which seemed even bigger than the front room. The countertops had been in a hazel colored granite as well as the cabinets being done in a wood that held a hazel color. There was a huge Freezer right next to an equally huge fridge. There was also a bar in the kitchen that held a variety of different liquors but the cabinet had a seal on it that Naruto couldn't even get in. He assumed it was a type of age seal.
The group left and explored the rest of the house. They entered the bedrooms to see them all in very nice décor. There were four bedrooms with a Master bedroom at the end of the hall. It was a very well done room. There were white oak dressers across one wall. The bed was extremely big which could probably hold atleast 5 people in it comfortably. There was a giant bathroom as well in there with a jacuzzi for a bathtub and a pretty decent size shower right across from it. Outside the bathroom was a walk out patio which they seen from the outside of the house.
After words they all left the main house to check the other places on the property. They found on that the housing area on the right wasn't one at all. It was just one extremely large dojo/bathhouse. They thought it was actually a smart idea to have the too put together alongside the forge. The dojo itself was very impressive. It had several workout implements that they could use, had barriers around so you can go full out without damaging the property, and had a fridge there to hold all your items you need when training such as refreshments and snacks to keep up the energy.
The housing area on the left was similar to the main house as it held five regular bedrooms that had two bed's each room. These were apparently used as guest rooms. It also held three bathrooms in the area as well.
Finally the group went around to check out the back of the Lot and was only even more surprised. The back had two very large training grounds with lots of kunai/shuriken weapons all over the ground. In the middle were several dummies to be used as target practice. Behind that was what got Naruto's attention and had him squeal like a little girl………………………….he had his own private lake with a small beach surrounded by a small forest.
After the tour, Sarutobi suggested they all relax and have dinner at the Namikaze estate which Naruto readily agreed to. Ino and Hinata went home to tell their parents about their dinner plans as well as try and find Tenten. Naruto had several clones head to the store with Sarutobi to stock up his kitchen so that he won't get overcharged. And finally, Naruto had three of his clones goto his old apartment to grab his clothes since this is where they were staying now.
(Later than Evening)
After everyone finished dinner, Naruto said his goodbye's to his girlfriends and gave them all a light kiss on the lips. That sent them over the edge and nearly fainted. Naruto had his clones take each of them home hoping they wouldn't do anything improper to his clones.
"Naruto, I have something to discuss with you." Sarutobi said in a serious voice.
He was wondering what had happened to make his Ojii-san so serious all of a sudden but decided nott o say anything and just nodded.
The Sandaime led him back to the house to the living room with Fuu and Yakama.
"What I'm about to show you and tell you is to stay between all of us here. I'm sorry Naruto, but you cannot tell your girls till later understood?" Sarutobi asked.
Everyone nodded and wondered what was going on.
"There is one last thing that needs to be shown to you and only you can access it along with my blood or the current Hokage's blood. Follow me." The Sandaime commanded getting everyone to follow him toth e back of the house.
Inside the last room it was small and had nothing in it. Sarutobi went through several handseals and put his chakra on the wall. All of a sudden, a big seal came into the light.
"Naruto repeat after me and only replace in your repeat what you think is necessary." Sarutobi cut his finger and placed his hand on the wall, "I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Third Hokage of Konohagakure, hearby release the seal containing this library." He yelled.
Naruto did the same thing but only replaced his name. After a few seconds, a smoke appeared and a door formed in the wall. After which, Sarutobi finally spoke, "Naruto, this room contains all the jutsu your father created, mastered, found, bought, studied, took for safe keeping from the Iwa-Konoha War, and stole from very bad people. It also contains a lot of historical documents in there as well as TONS of village secrets. It also has a supply of rare weapons that he found as well as some summoning scrolls if I remember correctly. This Naruto, is the Namikaze Library. Only the Hokage's Library can rival it but even then this is much more complex and has many more secrets."
Naruto's jaw dropped to the ground and began to move in before a hand grabbed his shoulder quickly.
"I'm sorry Naruto, but you cannot go in there yet. Your father left you another scroll but you can only receive it and the rest of your inheritance when you turn eighteen," Naruto was about to throw a nasty temper tantrum to an unbelievable degree before the Sandaime stopped him, "OR when you turn chuunin. Then I can give you the final scroll."
Naruto calmed down and agreed since he couldn't touch anything in there yet. The sandaime and Naruto both sealed the room back up and only they can reopen it together. But once Naruto gets his inheritance, its no longer needed.
As the rest of the group began to leave, Naruto ran up to the Hokage and asked him a question. "Hey Ojii-san, I was wondering, I'm not that great in sealing aside from storage seals. So is it possible that you know how to change the security options to the seals at the main gate and the house to let Fuu come and go as she pleases without my blood?"
"Hmm…..I think I have some documentation in my own compound about the security seals and their workings. I can probably do it with the help of Jiraiya to get it to work for both you and Fuu-san." The Hokage replied
Naruto was happy that the seals will be able to work for his new older sister. After their brief talk, the group then went their separate ways and went to go rest for the evening.
(Few weeks Later)
Once again Naruto and his team were back on the grind doing tons of D-rank missions with a few C-rank missions thrown here or there. It was a couple weeks ago that Hinata and Ino finally got their first kill with their own hands.
There was a band of roving bandits that were interrupting trade routes so a few villagers requested the situation be dealt with. After doing some searching, the group finally found the band of bandits but what disturbed them was the fact that there were several women in the group that were being raped by said bandits and were treating them as if they were slaves.
After some scouting, the group rescued the women and destroyed the encampment with Ino and Hinata finishing off four men that were in the middle of………….enjoying themselves with said women before they found their heads a rolling.
Naruto comforted both girls and took them out on beautiful dates along with Tenten to ease their minds and discuss how to deal with the situation.
Now the group were once again taking on D-rank missions and now reporting back the Hokage after dealing with a certain cat once again. Upon their entering the office, Naruto gave the cat to the Daimyo's wife in which she hugged the living shit out of him.
"Ya, that's right. Squeeze the living shit out of him. Make him pay for the damn scratches he gave me. Ya, ya. That's right. Make his kami damn head explode." Naruto said in a very soft whisper to himself that Hinata and Ino barely caught.
As the Daimyo's wife left, she paid for the mission and went back to her Hotel. Naruto and his group stayed behind to accept another mission.
"Alright Naruto, what would your group like this week. We have a few painting D-rank missions, same with grocery walking, dog walking, babysitting……" Iruka went on before he was interrupted. "Sorry Iruka-sensei, but C-Rank please. We are ready for another one."
Iruka looked at the group and each one had a determined look on their faces. He then turned to look at the Hokage who just smiled and nodded to him.
"Alright Naruto. We have three C-rank missions. One is an Escort, another is a Recon, and another is a patrol mission." Iruka said.
"Well, I don't really care for Recon and my team really isn't in the mood for a patrol mission." Naruto looked at his team and they only nodded as if silently agreeing. "We will take the escort. Can you brief us?"
"Ah, well from the looks of things, there is a bridge builder that needs an escort to wave and bodyguards to protect him from bandits so that he can complete the bridge. That's all we know for now. Please send him in." Sarutobi said bringing in the builder.
As soon as he entered, the bridge builder seemed heavily intoxicated and wobbly. "Whats this? I request a team of ninjas but I get a bunch of kids? The only impressive one I see is the tall blonde. But he seems pretty weak as do the others." The builder said in a drunken state.
"*sigh* Team Sarutobi meet your client, Tazuna of the Wave. Naruto…………please don't kill him. Its bad business to kill ones client." the Hokage said sensing the anger coming off of Naruto. It seemed to calm him down but he was still a bit miffed at being called weak.
"Team, you are to meet me in thirty minutes at the north gate. Pack for a week long mission and I will see yall there." Yakama said before leaving in a swirl of leaves. Naruto and the girls did the same all shunshining out of there to go get packed.
(North Gate)
Naruto was the first one to arrive at the gates after he finished his packing. So he sat in a meditative state working on more chakra control and trying to harness more of the Kyuubi Chakra into his own. He still had a promise that needed to come through on.
After waiting ten minutes, Ino was the first to arrive and spotted Naruto sitting there meditating. So she decided to mask her chakra and get close to Naruto.
Once she got close enough, she pounced on his chest and snuck a big kiss on his lips surprising him out of his trance.
"Heh, Ino-chan, you never seem to amaze me. You know Hinata is going to be mad if she sees you hogging me all to your self." He said getting a blush from Ino.
No more then five seconds after he said that, there was Hinata standing above them with a pouty look on her own face.
"Naruto-kun what about me? Am I not worth getting any attention?" She said in a mock sad voice.
Naruto then grabbed her ankles and made her trip right on top of Ino and Naruto. She then was surprised by having Naruto give a little swat to her butt and a kiss on the lips. Ino was a little made since she never got a swat on the butt but Naruto said that's for hogging him to herself.
The group then began to wrestle around before Yakama came and broke it up with everyone laughing. Tazuna showed up not too long afterwards and everyone began checking their equipment.
"Alright, Hinata you're on point this time around. Scout around for enemies and make sure to inform us of any abnormalities." Hinata nodded and took point. "Ino you are going to bring up the middle and will be main support for Hinata and Naruto. Naruto you stay back and guard Tazuna and I will be in the middle of the group. Now lets head out"
The group then left at a swift walking pace. Tazuna hated the pace they set since it was interfering with his drunken state but the group didn't really care.
(Five hours later)
The group was reaching the outer border of Konoha's territory after they just took another short break. As they continued on the road something seemed out of place.
Hinata used her Byakugan and spotted a weird puddle on the ground. There hasn't been rain in the past month and the skies were completely blue. The others in the group noticed this as well and Hinata started to sign to them.
"Two Ninja's. Hiding in puddle. Chuunin rank at the most. Wearing chain together and have claws and other pointed range weapons. Possible Poison from the drips off their claws." Hinata signed to the group.
"Hai. Good job Hinata. Naruto, Ino let the puddle go by and see who their target is." Yakama signed to the group.
Each person nodded but it was when they looked at Naruto they seen a gleam in his eye. It was the same look he would get for doing a prank.
"Hey guys watch this and don't do anything. I will be fine." Naruto signed to them earning confusing looks from them.
As they reached the puddle, Naruto announced, "Hey guys hold on I need to take a piss."
The group looked at him as if he was crazy but they could also barely contain their laughs. Naruto then went to the puddle and whipped out his dong and took a good long leak. The two ninjas in there were now royally pissed off.
As soon as Naruto was finished he joined the group earning soft giggles from the girls and a big smile from Yakama. After ten steps, the two mysterious Shinobi jumped out of the puddle and rushed the bridge builder.
"Kill the build then kill that fucking blonde shit for pissing on us!" One of the mist nin said.
Just before the two reached the builder, Hinata and Ino jumped right in front of them and kicked both hard in the stomach. Naruto then appeared behind them, grabbed the chain and tossed them towards the trees.
Yakama then through three kunai very hard at the links in the chains and stuck them to the tree. The two ninjas seen and had to disconnect from their chain.
"Ah, I remember these guys. Group, this is the Oni Brothers from the Hidden Mist. They normally work in poisons so don't get hit by their claws. They were last seen working with one Zabuza Momochi, an A-rank elite jounin missing nin from Mist as well. These guys are atleast chuunin-rank ninja so proceed to take them about." Yakama said before he backed up to watch his team go.
Naruto was already on the brother named Gouzu. They were in a light taijutsu spar……….well light for Naruto. They traded blows for blows before Gouzu overextended a punch which Naruto caught. With a swift palm strike upwards, Naruto dislocated the arm at the shoulder blade and watch it go limp. Before Gouzu can try and reconnect it, Naruto was already sending a vicious knee to left unprotected ribs that caught him good.
The ribs could be heard being broken by that devastating strike. Gouzu was trying to get up before Naruto was on him again. Before Naruto can send a knee down on his back, Gouzu rolled out of the way and threw three senbon at Naruto that were laced in heavy poison. Naruto took out a kunai and blocked two of them but the third grazed his cheek.
Gouzu look on with a joyed expressions before Naruto ended it. "I know that you're a poison specialist. There's only one problem……..I'm immune to all poisons. Think of it as a bloodline limit although its not." Naruto said seeing the pale expression on his opponents face.
Naruto jumped back into battle beating down Gouzu pretty bad while he was trying to block all the strikes Naruto threw. Finally, Naruto dropped his knee on the front of Gouzu's knee and broke it and made go at an angle not possible by humans. Afterwords, Naruto unsealed his staff but it had a completely new look on it. It was still completely midnight black but now had a red fox with nine-tails going up the weapon. And now at the tip was a four inch wide ten inch log blade attached to the end.
At seeing this Gouzu tried to block with a kunai but it was too late. Naruto severed his head and the body dropped.
Meizu, upon seeing his brothers death, decided he had to escape but seemed impossible. Hinata and Ino had been toying with him every since the start of the fight.
Both girls seemed to switch everytime they threw a punch to keep Meizu off his game. Ino threw a hard punch that connected with his mask thus shattering it revealing a very scarred face. Hinata then came underneath and did a leg sweep which dropped him then landed a heavy knee to his stomach upon her circling around after her sweep.
Meizu's breathe was completely gone when Ino threw him against the tree. Hinata then rushed over and performed her 8 Trigram 64 Snake Palm strike thus rending him useless.
After the battle Yakama came over and talked to his team. "Very good job. Naruto seal that head so that we can get the reward for them. However first, Ino you remember your interrogation methods you trained in with Anko?" Yakama asked.
Ino nodded and comprehended what he was saying. Ino then drug Meizu into the forest where the group can hear several screams and swearing from a male voice. After twenty minutes, Ino came back with bloody hands, a pack filled with poison laced weapons, and the head of Meizu.
"Sensei, we have a problem. They weren't after us obviously. They were after Tazuna." Ino said. The group then looked at Tazuna who had lost his lunch after seeing Naruto decapitate Gouzu.
Yakama went over to Tazuna and gave him a threatening glare. "Speak. What are you hiding from us?"
Tazuna then began to spill his story about how that Wave has come under attack from a man name Gato. He was a very wealthy man and had several businesses that kept him rich. The only problem is that he is also a criminal of world wide proportion and was trying to take over the country. He told them how Gato had ruined the economy, kidnapped several women and sold them into slavery, and that he feels threatened that Tazuna is building the bridge. If the bridge is completed, he loses his strangle hold on the country and business will start coming back and the people will rebel against him.
After some consideration, Naruto spoke first. "Tazuna, even though that you lied about the mission we are still going to help you. We don't want to see the evil rule over the weak and will stop Gato. However, upon our completion of the mission, you will pay Konoha for an A-rank mission after the country stabilizes. If we die before its completed, run back to Konoha if you can and they will exact vengeance on Gato and his company."
Tazuna couldn't believe this and looked at the others and they just nodded. After he told them his thanks and eternal gratitude, they left to the designated spot to meet a boatman to take them across the water to the other side of the bank and they can continue on their way.
After walking another hour they finally reached the small town where the boatman was waiting. He was slightly nervous since it was deemed fatal that whoever was working with the bridge builder is pretty much dead to Gato and he will make it happen.
Crossing the wide area of water went without any complications and the boatman dropped them off at the other side. Tazuna said his thanks and they group then left once again.
Upon their journey, they noticed the air seemed to cooldown and there was a mist forming not too far ahead of the road. This didn't seem too odd since it was a village on the coast and mist was usually formed around this time. After further walking, there was a small rustle in the bushes. Naruto and Ino immediately reacted and threw a Kunai and a Senbon. Nothing seemed to be hit so they went to check it out. It seemed to only be a white rabbit.
Yakama however had other ideas. He whispered to Hinata to activated her bloodline silently which she did only to let out a small gasp and quickly signed to the group.
"Two Shinobi. One is carrying a very large sword and the Other is just sitting in the trees not too far away with a mask on. Very Strong. Jounin at the lowest. Mask person is high chuunin." She signed and the group slightly stiffened.
Yakama told them to act cool and not to worry. He signed to Naruto that he would take on the Jounin and the girls will protect Tazuna and attack the other if he interferes. Yakama would stay back and only interfere if needed.
As soon as he was done finishing his signs Hinata yelled, "Get DOWN!!!!" And with that everyone ducked as a huge guardless Zanbato flew over them and sliced straight into a tree. Then out of the mist appeared the man they knew they might be facing.
"Momochi Zabuza. A-Class missing nin from Kiri. Wanted for slaughtering a genin graduating class and the assassination attempt on the Mizukage. It's a pleasure to meet you." Yakama said very calmly.
"Hmmm what do we have here? A Jounin and his little genin team. Heh, look just hand over the bridge builder and I will be on my way." Zabuza said
"Well, unfortunately, we are hired to protect him so there is no any other option but to fight against you. Naruto will you please do the honors?" Yakama asked which Naruto obliged him.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You expect this little shit to even stand a chance against me?! You tree huggers must really be losing it. How can you even expect this little grunt to……….." Before Zabuza could say another word, a force appeared from behind him and knocked him off his sword and on the ground with a loud thud.
"Well, it seems your underestimating me could have cost you your life Zabuza." Naruto said holding out his Bo staff and ready to attack again.
"W-what!? How the hell did you get the jump on me?!" Zabuza screamed not believing he dropped the ball and could have ended up dead.
"Well, I knew we might end up facing you and after the interrogation of the Oni Brothers by my teammate Ino, we learned you were possibly waiting for us. So I had my Shadow clone there" he points to his clone near the group that just poofed out of existence, "just act the part while I get the drop on you. Now are you ready?"
Zabuza could only glower at Naruto while he was standing ten feet in front of him. He moved his hand in a weird motion and suddenly the Zabuza's huge sword unhinged itself from the tree and went back to him and in the line of sight was Naruto.
Naruto jumped over and landed in his Bo staff Stance ready for battle.
"Not bad you little runt. Maybe you will give me a decent exercise." And with that Zabuza charged forward at Naruto. He brought his massive sword down in a axe-cutting fashion which Naruto blocked easily with his staff. Naruto then channeled some chakra into his staff and then his blade popped out at the end.
Zabuza not noticing it yet, realized too late, and got caught on the arm with the blade after Naruto swung his staff at him.
"Heh, I am severely underestimating you gaki. Time to take it to another level." Zabuza then jumped at Naruto and Naruto jumped at him. Each was throwing powerful with their respective weapons trying to land blow after blow.
Zabuza made a cross slash with his sword which Naruto blocked with his staff. Naruto then tried to go for a leg sweep but missed while Zabuza countered with a slash aimed at his head. Naruto quickly brought up his staff only to block it at the last second. After the brief standstill the two went at it again.
Naruto tried to jab Zabuza in the stomach with his blade-end but kept missing. The only important thing happening was that Naruto was keeping Zabuza on the defensive. Zabuza decided the game was going on long enough and used his speed to get behind Naruto and slash him across his back………….only to hit a log that Naruto Kawarimi with.
The two went back at it again with Naruto landing some solid hits on Zabuza with the blunt end of the staff while Zabuza nailed a small slash across Naruto's chest and several other cuts across his body. After five more minutes the two landed on a nearby lake.
"Well, I must admit, you are giving me more trouble than I thought. I believe its time we finish this." Zabuza said with an eerie smile forming on his face.
"I agree. Its time that I stop holding back." Naruto said and with through several handsigns. "Katon: Fire Grenades!!" Naruto said and several balls of flame were hurled at Zabuza. He jumped out their path and was laughing at the slow pace they were coming in at.
"HA! Is that all you got kid!? Those barel………" BOOM! Zabuza was not even nearly able to finish his gloating when all fire grenades exploded near him and almost enveloped him entirely in flame. Zabuza quickly shunshin'd outside the flames before a lot of damage was done. Although he wasn't severely burnt, he still had some burn marks on his arms.
"You little shit!" Zabuza was beyond pissed at this point. How was this little gaki even keeping pace with him.
"Fine you want to play that way, no more kiddie stuff!" Zabuza went through several hand signs and announced "Suiton: Kirigakure no Jutsu".
Suddenly, there was a deep and thick mist forming on the lake. After a few more seconds, Naruto could barely see two feet infront of him.
"There are 8 vital spots on the body that can cause death almost instantly. Liver, lungs, spine, clavicle vein, neck vein, brain, kidneys, heart. Which spot do you wish for me to end this with?" Zabuza said in a maniacal voice.
Then out of the mist Zabuza came down swinging his sword at the base of Naruto's back. Luckily for Naruto his reflexes were very high and he blocked and countered hard. Unfortunately, it was a Mizu Bunshin.
"Hmmmm, Mizu Bunshin's eh? Not bad Zabuza. Here let me show you a technique I was working on back at home that I mastered." Naruto then went through several hand seals and yelled "Fuuton: Great Whirlwind!"
All of a sudden a great wind picked up all around. Zabuza was wondering what was going on but then seen his mist starting to lift. He was slightly surprised at this and after two minutes, the mist had all but receded.
Naruto was standing there very proudly and had a decent smile on his face. There standing in front of him were eight clones of Zabuza and the original standing in the back.
"Well, Zabuza, I don't wish to drag this out any longer so lets speed this up." Naruto then zipped through 5 hand seals and yelled, "Hyouton: Hyou Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto was pleasantly surprised at the reactions.
Zabuza was wide eyed when he heard the young boy actually call out an Ice Technique. He knew that his companion was the only that knew how to create Ice since it was his bloodline.
Hinata was starry eyed at hearing this and eagerly waiting to talk to Naruto about this.
Ino was just stunned and didn't know anyone that can use Ice techniques.
Yakama was wondering when he had the time to train and use Ice when they were training all the time.
The hidden figure could only hide their shock and wished to speak with the young boy about this.
Out of the water rose three water figures that took the shape of Naruto, then a very cold wind was being felt and freezing the figures and making them into Ice clones, then they gained all the color that Naruto had all in a matter of a few seconds.
"This, Zabuza, is part of my bloodline. I may not have the actual bloodline to create ice easily, I do have a extremely strong water and wind element. After a lot of training, I was able to create ice. These are my Ice Clones and believe me when I say they are not your average looking clones. But enough talk, we end this." Naruto said and had his three Hyou Bunshins take on Zabuza's eight Mizu Bunshins.
The battle was fierce with the originals just sitting and watching biding their time. Zabuza noticed that the ice clones were quite durable and flexable. He decided to enter the fray and took a swing at an ice clone scoring a slash across its back. Content that he got rid of one he turned his back on it and was about to proceed to the next when he was hit hard from behind.
He looked and saw that the ice clone was still standing and trying to attack him. The Ice clone had very good skills but was overmatched by Zabuza and two of his Mizu Bunshins. After three more minutes, the ice clone was able to take out both Bunshins with strong jabs with his staff but was slashed out of existence by the real Zabuza.
The real Naruto was looking on at the battle barely breathing hard while the Hyou Bunshins took out the Mizu Bunshins. After sometime, the real Zabuza interfered and all the clones dispersed.
Zabuza was looking slightly tired and breathing a bit heavy. He just couldn't believe that this kid was pushing him so hard and he was barely breathing hard at all!
Zabuza then ran through several hand seals and yelled "Suiton: Water Dragon Bullet!!" With that a huge water dragon appeared out of the water and went screaming towards Naruto. With some quick thinking, Naruto countered with "Suiton: Waterwall!"
A huge water wall that was extremely dense appeared in front of Naruto and blocked the full force of the dragon bullet. After the water receded, Zabuza was looking on at Naruto who was now slightly panting but had a smile on his face.
"Zabuza, I must say, you are actually giving me a work out. The last time I had this much of a workout is when I trained with my sensei." Naruto said then standing in his ready stance with the Bo ready.
Zabuza was getting slightly mad and went through more seals and announced another attack "Suiton: Slicing Water Wave!" Then a very thin but apparently sharp wave shot at Naruto.
He dodged and Zabuza kept on launching attack after attack. Some of them were deflected by Naruto's staff and the others were dodged. After some time, Naruto was finally caught with one that cut him across his chest in a vertical slice. It wasn't very deep but still painful.
"Seems like you aren't that invincible after all are ya kid!" Zabuza said feeling a bit exhausted. He went through a few seals and summoned three more clones.
"This is where we end this and I can take out the builder." And with that the Zabuza's charged Naruto.
"First of all," Naruto said while dodging a cross slash by the two Bunshins aimed for his legs, "Even if I die, theres no way you will get past my sensei. Secon" he tried to say but had to crouch down to have a swing be missed before he was decapitated and jumped to the side while another bunshin swung downward trying to slice him inhalf, "Secondly, you are quite tired and won't even get past my girls who are just as strong as me while they work together, and" Naruto said before he 'killed' a bunshin then jumping back and performing several hand seals, "You are going down right now. Raiton: Arc Lightning!"
Naruto then shot a very strong and loud lightning current at Zabuza and the rest of his clones. Zabuza was struck first and was nearly paralyzed from the pain and the shock it had done to his system. His clones all dispersed and sent the memories back to him thus putting him in even more pain.
Finally he Zabuza was on one knee breathing extremely hard and in total shock. Naruto was surprised that he was still standing. He put a lot of very potent chakra into that attack which should have knocked him out at the very least. Naruto now had an even greater respect for the man than before. But now was not the time for idol chit chat.
Naruto then rushed Zabuza preparing a strike to the chest from his blunt end of the staff. Zabuza seen this and tried to block it with his weapon but was unable to lift his weapon. Finally, he felt the staff dig deep in his chest and knocked him hard against a tree cracking it.
Naruto stopped short of the tree and looked on at Zabuza. "Well, it was fun, but I believe the battle is over. I do have a few……" Naruto began to say but was interrupted by two senbon sticking being thrown at Zabuza's neck. They connected and Zabuza lay dead. Then all of a sudden a figure appeared and was believed to be a hunter-nin from Kiri.
"Thank you for your help defeating Zabuza. I have been having trouble tracking him and didn't know if I was capable of defeating him." the 'hunter' nin said and proceeded to go near Zabuza but was stopped short by Naruto's staff dividing the two.
"Please, allow me to take the body back to Kiri so that I may complete my mission. It would be unwise to allow this to digress into a national incident by having a Konoha and Kiri nin attacking each other thus leading to a possible war."
Naruto looked on as if convinced but knew better.
"Please, let me help you then. If you don't mind I will behead him and you can burn the body. If I remember correctly that is the proper way that ALL hunter-nin are trained in dealing with missing nin's am I correct?" Naruto said with a sly grin.
The mist nin was sweating a bit now. The nin couldn't shake the feeling that this was all a ploy. He then tried to get the body again with more negotiations.
"Unfortunately, that is true. But in this case, the Mizukage wishes the body be brought back to be made an example of for those who tries to defy the Kage himself." The nin said hoping to get the appropriate response.
Naruto was looking around and seen Ino in the bushes masking her chakra with two senbon needles in her hand. He assumed they were poisoned since she did train heavily with Anko and they both shared a fascination with poisons.
Naruto turned his attention back to the nin and decided that the ploy was taking far enough and made his move.
"Look, I know that you are not a hunter nin. Surrender yourself and you will not be harmed. My teammate detected your signature before we even got here while you were standing aside Zabuza before the fight."
The nin then took a few steps back. The nin was now shocked that their disguise was already seen through and they were waiting for them to make the first move. So now, the nin went through hand signs trying to catch Naruto off-guard but it was too late. Before they noticed, Ino had thrown two poison lace senbon into the right arm and left leg of the nin.
The poisons weren't lethal but they would numb the areas they came into contact with and would put the ninja to sleep if they moved too much or used too much chakra.
"Listen I don't want to fight you. Please surrender before you get hurt." Naruto said. He knew that the nin was now useless. They couldn't use hand seals since one of their arms were numb and couldn't shunshin or run away since one of their legs were numb.
What Naruto didn't expect was the one handed seals being perfomed. "Suiton: One Thousand Water Needles!" The nin announced.
Out of the water, hundreds upon hundreds of water senbon needles formed and began to connect with Naruto. Or so the nin thought.
Naruto had used a kawarimi with Zabuza's sword. Naruto went through his own hand seals and announced "Hyouton: Ice lance!"
A very thick and long lance formed in the water and launched at the mist nin. The Nin went through their own one handed seals and said "Hyouton: Demonic Ice Mirror!" All of a sudden the lance connected with the mirror and both shattered which sent the mist nin crashing next to their master.
Naruto came over quickly and hit a pressure point at the base of their neck. He then called his teammates over along with Tazuna and their Sensei.
"Yakama-sensei………….do we have to kill them?" Naruto asked.
"Explain." Yakama said wondering what was going on in Naruto's head.
"Well, it is my belief that Zabuza can be a great asset to Konoha. I know he is a missing nin but what if we fake his death and get him to come over to our side. We don't have too many Kenjutsu masters in Konoha as it is and one of the Seven Swordsman would be a huge bonus. Also, I know that using ice jutsus is not a very common or uncommon thing. It is my understanding that you need to have a bloodline that can create ice or something similar to my bloodline to be able to accomplish that feat. Not even those that are Water and wind affinity elements can do this. There's usually a strong affinity followed by a weak second affinity. It is beyond rare not to have a bloodline and be able to create ice. Sensei." Naruto explained.
Yakama was impressed but he himself had his doubts. He didn't want to risk having a missing nin accompanying them with his partner on their journey. But Naruto's logic wasn't that bad. For Konoha to obtain a extremely potent water user as well as a kenjutsu master not to mention he was a former seven swordsman would be extremely beneficial to the village.
Also as a bonus, the village can also obtain another bloodline that can be beneficial to the village. In a couple generations, there can be very strong Ice ninjutsu ninja's in the village which can turn the tide of war in certain cases should there be any that comes to Konoha.
"Hmmm, girls what do you think? Do you agree with Naruto?" Yakama asked to his other two students that were standing by listening to the conversation.
The girls talked amongst themselves and came to an agreement. "Well me and Hinata agree but we have to talk to them first. If they can help us with the situation in Wave then I believe they can accompany us. For now however, I believe that chakra restraints and them being tied up for now will work." Ino said with Hinata nodding.
After the agreement, Yakama pulled out his chakra suppression seals and placed them both on Zabuza and the Mist nin. When he pulled off the mask, the nin turned out to be a very feminine……………….boy. He wasn't that much older than Naruto and the girls couldn't believe how girly he looked. They would have to question him about that when he came to.
"Alright Tazuna they are going to be our prisoners for now but lets head to your house to attend to our situation." Yakama commanded and had Tazuna lead them to their house.
(Nightfall - Tazuna's House)
Once the group arrived at the house Tazuna introduced them to his daughter Tsunami and her son Inari who was on his way to bed. Inari looked at the ninja and wasn't impressed. "I don't know why you're here. You all should leave. No one can beat Gato. You would just die." He said before heading back upstairs.
Naruto looked at them confused and wondered what was up. "Tsunami-san what is up with Inari there? Why is he acting like that?" Tsunami then explained the situation in wave and about gato and how Inari's 'father' went to confront him. After doing so, Inari's 'dad' was strung up in the middle of town and killed for the act. Inari was there to see the incident. Tsunami then explained to them how he changed that day and never reverted back to his former self.
Naruto looked at the group and decided to make his presence known. "If you don't mind Tsunami-san, I'm going to go talk with Inari and get him out of this funk." Tsunami just looked confused but nodded and Naruto went upstairs.
"Tsunami-san, we need a place to stay for a few days while your father completes the bridge. Would you happen to have any extra rooms?" Yakama asked and she pointed out the two guest rooms where team 10 can stay. One room was for the girls while the other was for Yakama and his 'prisoners'. They set up their room and began the process of waking up their other guests.
(Inari's Room)
"Oh father, *sniff*, why did you have to do what you did? I miss you so much. I can never be as brave as you." Inari said so sadly at the picture while crying.
"So your father did something brace and was killed eh?" Naruto said as he appeared in the doorway. Inari was a bit startled then turned angry at Naruto.
"What are you doing in my room!?" Inari said angrily
"Why are you crying and saying that my team is weak?" Naruto said in a calm voice.
"Because! No one can beat Gato! He kills everyone that stands up to him including my dad. He was my hero! And you're just a puny kid!" Inari said with angry tears running down his face.
Naruto then moved at an incredible speed and stood right in front of Inari and slapped the living shit out of him.
"So I'm just a puny kid eh? Then why is it that I single handedly beat Gato's number one hired ninja all by myself? How did I beat his number two ninja with a little bit of help from my teammates huh? Look. I am extremely strong here kid. But strength isn't everything. Courage has a lot to do with being strong. Instead of looking at the sacrifice your father made as a bad thing, look at his courage and his strength to do what is right. If you keep being afraid, you will never get strong. Would you want your mother to do because you were too afraid to do anything?" Naruto asked in a serious voice.
Inari moved his head side to side afraid of getting slapped again.
"Look, I'm sorry for slapping you but I had to get you out of that funk. I don't think I can stand staying here for a few days with you if that's how you were going to act. Now, do you want to be brave or weak?" Naruto asked.
"I w-want to b-be brave." Inari said in a whisper that was barely heard.
"What was that?"
"I want to be brave." he said a little louder.
"I'm sorry I can't understand a weak little boy that's too afraid to do anything."
"I want to be brave!" he said louder and in a serious tone.
"I'm sorry I still couldn't hear you? Did you say you want to go to a rave?" Naruto said smiling.
"I WANT TO BE BRAVE!!! I WANT TO PROTECT MY FAMILY!!! I WANT TO PROTECT MY MOM!!! I DON'T WANT TO BE AFRAID ANYMORE!!!" Inari roared extremely loudly. Tsunami was outside listening and was about to enter when she heard Naruto slap her son but decided to listen in. Thankfully she hoped that Naruto brought him out of his funk.
"Really oh so mighty little boy, what are you going to do about Gato then?" Naruto asked wondering what the answer would be.
"I'm going to stand up to him like my father did. Like my grandpa is doing. If they can do, then I can do it. I will get stronger and no one will keep this town down. Gato will pay!" Inari said in a commanding voice.
Naruto came over, took a knee in front of Inari, and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Well my boy, if I was Gato, then I would be shitting myself right now for fear of you." Naruto said with a little laugh in his voice. "But that is now not your concern. Me and my group is going to take down Gato one way or another and then you can be stronger for other reasons ok?" Naruto said.
Inari nodded and thanked Naruto. Naruto just smiled and left the room. Tsunami was on the outside of the door and silently thanked Naruto. She then went in and spent the night holding her baby boy while he cried in her chest and kept saying he was sorry.
(Yakama's Room)
"Yakama-sensei, they will be awake in five minutes, are we ready if they don't accept the deal?" Ino asked a bit worriedly. Hinata was on her other side equally worried.
Naruto entered the room as she said this and replied, "Don't worry, they won't deny this opportunity."
After a few more minutes, Zabuza was the first one to stir followed by the other mist nin. Zabuza tried to sit up but found out he was tied to the ground.
"Good evening Zabuza, how are you?" Naruto asked while he's team stood behind him while he sat in front.
"You little fucking shit! Let me the hell out. We have no business together." Zabuza yelled trying to break free.
"I'm sorry Zabuza, but the chakra suppression seals on you and your partner as well as the chakra restraints on your hands are preventing any escape." Yakama said in his most authoritive voice he had.
"What do you want gaki?! Unless you are here to hire me then I have no reason to speak with you." Zabuza retorted.
"Well, we do have business. First what is your partner's name? Oh and don't play the 'why do you care game' with me please. I am also offering him a deal as well." Naruto said while the rest of the group would remain quiet while he spoke. Hinata stood on his left and Ino on his right. They both had their hands on his shoulders to try and reinsure him so he could make no mistakes.
"Hn. Well his name is Haku. He's my most loyal tool."
"You know, ninja's aren't tools. They are human beings. They can not be broken and discarded and considered weak and useless if they run up against a stronger enemy. You should know this. If, Haku here, were such a tool I would have killed him when I had my chance instead of offering you two a deal of a life time."
"Hmmm, you have me intrigued brat. Go on."
Naruto smiled and hoped this bait would keep him coming for more.
"Tools, can only be sharpen so much and upgraded so much. With ninja, they can keep training and getting stronger and stronger. Human's have unlimited potential within themselves. Tools do not. Do you understand?"
"I guess so. I haven't considered Haku a tool here for some time. I have raised him since he was a young boy and that was when I put that idea in his head. I hope he didn't take the idea too seriously. I have grown fond of him and considered him a type of son over the years. Anyways, that's besides the point. You said you have an offer to make so make it."
Naruto then went over his deal Zabuza and to say the least he was impressed and very intrigued about this. He would no longer be considered a missing nin, be given amnesty to the village and have a place to stay, Naruto would give him double what Gato was paying him, and all he had to do was help them off Gato, and put a decent amount of blood on his hi-taite and give it to Naruto and report it to Kiri that he was dead.
Haku was then given a similar deal but Naruto wanted to hear his story. Haku went on to explain how he grew up with Zabuza, how he killed his father after learning that his mother and him had the Hyouton bloodline, and living as Zabuza's tool over the years. Naruto had a long talk with Haku about the difference between tools and humans and Zabuza tried to help as well.
After their talk, Naruto said that Zabuza and Haku can create a clan and Zabuza can be registered as Haku's father. This would help them get involved in the village, and in return, Haku would't have to live in fear for his bloodline. Naruto then began to explain his own bloodline to Haku and how he was able to create ice. Haku was thoroughly impressed and so was Zabuza.
After a few hours and some heated debate and deliberation, Zabuza and Haku decided to come join Konoha and their ranks.
"Good, now that that is out of the way, Haku you are going to take Zabuza back to your hideout and contact Gato. Then you both are going to tell them that we are really weakened and that both of you are still strong enough to take us out. You will also tell him to attack the bridge with ALL his thugs and bandits in two days. That way, you can get fully rested and help with finishing off Gato and his crew once and for all." Naruto explained. Yakama also added in the necessary parts everyone needed to play for this to work.
Yakama and Naruto had gone over this before the two woke up and they reiterated it perfectly. After the finally discussions Haku took back to the hideout and sent word for Gato. Till then, the two would sleep until Gato came.
Meanwhile, back at Tazuna's home, Team 10 all settle down for the evening and wait for word to see if their plan's would work.
(Two days later)
Zabuza and Haku had reported back to Yakama and his team about Gato's approval. Zabuza also through in an enticing bit of info to make sure the lowlife would come and said that he would give him an unsealed Hyuuga which Gato can get a hundred fold of what he was paying Zabuza if he turned her over to Kumo.
Hinata was slightly pissed at hearing that but couldn't deny the logic behind it. So for retaliation, she only hit his stomach with a Jyuuken powered punch.
"Jeez girly! That shit hurt!" Zabuza said holding his stomach while the rest of the group just laughed.
Hinata activated her Bloodline to see if their guests had arrived and she seen at the very tip of her range that the group were coming and in the lead was Gato.
"Everyone get ready they are here. Quick, henge into injured parts of yourselves and act like you are extremely tired." Hinata commanded and everyone listened and went into their acting parts.
Zabuza henged into a very cut up version of himself while Yakama henged into the same thing.
Naruto and Ino henged to have several senbon sticking out of their backs and laid down.
Haku and Hinata had henged into a slightly dirtier versions of themselves and prepared to start fighting at Hianta's command.
After a few more minutes Hinata said the key phrase of "Dattebayo" and everyone went into their parts just as Gato and his thugs showed up on the bridge.
"Gato! About time you make it! Hurry up and use those thugs of yours to finish these runts off!" Zabuza screamed dodging a 'lethal' attack from Yakama.
"Ah Zabuza, it seems that you are no demon at all. Having trouble with a simple Jounin and this shitty genin team. You're pathetic. You're like a chibi-demon compared to me you worthless ass missing nin. You were never going to get payed anyway. I was planning on killing you off here and now and collecting the reward on both you and your partner and then get the money from Kumo for the little Hyuuga bitch there." He said as he pointed at Hinata.
At that point, Gato sent in all his thugs to finish off everyone………………..only to be completely disappointed.
Everyone dispelled their henges and shocked the living shit out of all the thugs and Gato himself. Gato was scared even more as he was confronted immediately by an enraged Naruto.
"Don't you dare call my girlfriend a bitch you worthless piece of shit! You're lucky I'm not you're executioner or I would cut off your fucking balls and feed them to you, you worthless maggot size pile of vomit!" Naruto said in a very demonic voice. Zabuza heard this and had to ask him to teach himself that. It can really come in handy.
Naruto then tapped him on the back of the neck on his pressure point and knocked him out. For the rest of the thugs……………..well, lets just say they are all no longer among the living with Zabuza holding the most kills that reached an amazing 45 killed.
Naruto then dragged Gato back to the town where he had the entire village there waiting for him. Team 10, Zabuza and Haku were following behind him. He tossed the little man on the ground and woke him up.
"Gato, I am your judge and jury, but these people will be your executioners. People of Wave, I give you the Tyrant that have been ruling over you with hate, anger, extortion, death threats, and slavery. I find him guilt of all charges. You may do with him as you wish." Naruto said before leaving with his group back to Tazuna's house.
While they were leaving, they heard people shouting for roping and many sharp objects. The last thing they heard was the blood curdling screams of Gato. Wave no longer had to worry about Gato and his major crime industry.
(Five days later)
With Gato gone, Tazuna went back to work on the bridge with twice as many workers as before. Naruto also helped by created several Kage Bunshins and Hyou Bunshins to help with the work. Finally on the fifth day it was completed. Tazuna invited the entire town to witness its grand opening as well as to thank Naruto and his team and see them off as they head back to their Village.
"Well, Naruto, Yakama, Team 10, Zabuza, Haku, we, the town of Wave, thank you for all what you have done for us in Wave. You rid us of Gato and you helped complete this great bridge. Soon, businesses will be booming and trade will be re-established soon enough." Tazuna said making Naruto and his girls blush.
"Awww it was nothing old man. We are here to help." Naruto said nervously while his hand was scratching the back of his head.
The town then started saying their goodbyes. Inari was the last and hugged Naruto. Naruto told him to get stronger and help his mom and grandpa whenever they needed it. Inari agreed and went back to the big group.
After saying their final goodbyes, the Konoha group with Haku and Zabuza all left across the bridge and headed back home.
"Hey gramps, what should we call the bridge?" Inari asked his grandpa.
"Well, I think we should call it the Great Naruto Bridge. All in favor?" Tazuna yelled and getting a loud yes reply they all agreed on the name.
(Deep In the forest on the border of Fire Country)
"Hiraishin no jutsu!" Minato yelled.
He was a blue around the around while holding his rasengan in his hand hitting each of the dummies in place. As soon as he was done, he was barely panting but still was winded.
"Very good Minato-kun, you are almost back to your prime!" Shizune said with a extremely happy voice.
"Hai, he is almost there Shizune. Soon he will be ready to head back to his home and claim his son. Oh what a day that will be……………..and what a day Jiraiya will have once I get my hands on him." Tsunade said with an evil grin on her face.
"Calm down Tsunade-sensei, you know the agreement." Minato said earning a puppy dog look from Tsunade. "HA! You think that will work on me!? Kushina couldn't even get that to work on me and you think you can!?" Minato laughed only to get two lumps on his head. One from Shizune and one from Tsunade.
"Be nice Minato-kun!" Shizune said in a very pouty voice.
"Ya gaki! Don't worry I know the deal. But he isn't getting off the hook." Tsunade said.
"Hai, hai. Anyways, I think I almost have the rasengan and the hiraishin back to what it was at when I was at my peak. I think two more months and I will have everything back to my original self." Minato said.
"And then my son, I will make the grandest entrance you will see at the Chuunin exams. Please oh please make it to the finals. It won't do for me to do my entrance if you're not in it." Minato thought to himself before he went back to training.
Authors Notes!!!!
Hello everyone!!! Heres an early chapter presented by ME!!!!! Anyways leave me your thoughts on how I did the wave arc. I didn't want to follow the same format that everyone else uses so I did a bit of a twist to it.
Tell me how you guys thought of the Zabuza/Naruto Fight. It was my first major battle scene so I would love some great input on it.
Also, I'm sorry everyone but Haku will be a guy. I'm thinking of hooking him up with Isaribi. Think about it for a minute, Isaribi had a strong wind affinity but was then given through experimentation a equally stronger Water Affinity. I believe she is perfect for Haku. Also, Haku is recieveing a harem due to the CRA but will only get the known of Isaribi. Everyone else will be random villagers or some chuunin no names.
Now I believe my reasoning behind having Zabuza and Haku join the village was sound in my opinion but give me yours.
Also I tried my best describing the Namikaze compound to the best of my ability. What I forgot to mention is that right next to it is the Senju Compound. Oh and I have something planned for them that no one has possibly done before in a story.
Finally, I want to ask to see if anyone can do a sketch of Naruto on Deviant Art. If anyone is extremely talented and is a fan of my work I wish to commission you for work.
Now that everything is on the up and up Heres my next two shout outs:
Third Fang - Yet Again, with a little extra help.
Seriously guys this story is fucking hilarious and takes a different approach to Naruto Read it. It is truly awesome.
Marchgirl - The Jutsu of Love and its continuation of Bloodline
She is a very talented author guys. Her stories and greatly written, has an extremely awesome plot, and fluff thrown in for those that like it. Her stories are really great quality and are excellent reads.
Aight yall till next time
Chapter 8: Chuunin Exams………….enough said.
