Naruto of the Homunculus
Should Sasuke and Sakura learn Alchemy.
Both: 5
Neither: 7
Zabuza and his partner faced down Team 7.
"Kakashi," said Naruto, "this is going to be my fight."
"Be careful Naruto," said Kakashi, "we'll take his accomplice. Sakura, Sasuke, guard Tazuna with your life. I'm going to fight the hunter-nin over there."
Sakura moved into a defensive position in front of Tazuna while Naruto faced Zabuza and Sasuke and Kakashi rushed at the Hunter-nin.
"Go, Haku!" said Zabuza.
The hunter-nin, now known as Haku, pulled out some senbon and charged at Sasuke and Kakashi. Zabuza then went through some handsigns.
"Hidden Mist Jutsu!" said Zabuza.
A thick mist spread over the bridge hiding the two swordsmen.
'Crap' thought Kakashi, 'not even my Sharingan can see through this mist. Looks like Zabuza has decided to even the playing field a bit.'
"Let's see how well you do when you can't see," said Zabuza's voice from all around.
Naruto smirked, "I'll do better than you expect."
Naruto then unsheathed his swords just in time to block a swing from Zabuza's giant blade. Zabuza then jumped back into the mist as Naruto swung at him with his other sword.
"If you think that the mist will hide you, then you're mistaken," said Naruto.
"We'll see about that," said Zabuza as Naruto blocked another one of his strikes.

Kakashi had to admit, the young man he was fighting was good. Kakashi had just finished that thought, when he was forced to dodge yet another barrage of senbon.
"You're pretty good," said Kakashi.
"I could say the same for you," said Haku, dodging a swing of Kakashi's kunai.
Kakashi went through some hand-signs, "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
A large dragon made of water rose up from the ocean and flew at Haku. Haku raised one hand and went through a series of one handed seals.
"Ice style: Ice Dome!"
The dragon crashed into the ice dome, but the dome held strong. Haku caused the dome to dissolve and hurled more senbon at Kakashi who dodged and went through some seals.
"Fire style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!"

Naruto was in a tight spot. Using his superior sense of smell, he was able to keep up with Zabuza's movements despite not being able to see him. Without his Ultimate Eye, he could only keep Zabuza from cutting him, and even that was starting to fail.
'I don't know if I can keep this up much longer,' thought Naruto.
"I got you now," said Zabuza, coming out of the mist and swinging his blade down on Naruto's neck only to have it stop when the skin turned black as the blade struck, "what the?"
"That was close," said Naruto, "I had to put up my Ultimate Shield to block that."
Naruto swung his blade at Zabuza, forcing him to dodge, "What are you, brat?" said Zabuza as they clashed again.

Sasuke and Sakura watched the battle between Kakashi and Haku in amazement while they listened to the sounds of Naruto and Zabuza locking blades.
"Sasuke," said Sakura.
"...what?" was the response.
"I feel so useless right now," said Sakura, "my teammate and my sensei are fighting two high level missing-nin and we're just standing here."
"At our level, we would only be a hindrance," said Sasuke, "all we can do is trust in our team."

"Ice Style: Ice Spear!" yelled Haku, hurling a spear of ice at Kakashi.
"Earth Style: Mud Wall!" yelled Kakashi, blocking the spear by raising a stonewall.
The two ninjas then rushed at each other and fought, kunai to senbon.

"If I don't do something about this mist, this won't end well," thought Naruto.
Dodging another swing of Zabuza's massive sword, Naruto jumped back and sheathed his swords. Clapping his hands, he used alchemy to dispel the mist, "That's better."
Naruto drew his swords again and activated his ultimate eye and charged at Zabuza. With two swings he severed Zabuza's arms from his body. Naruto raised his left sword to finish him off, but as he swung it down he saw a flash of blue and white. Haku had thrown himself, in the path of the blade. The blade cut through Haku's mask and robe, revealing that Haku had been wearing bindings and was very much a girl.
"Haku," said Naruto, "I KNEW YOU WERE A GIRL! But why did you stop me?"
"I'm sorry, Naruto," said Haku, "I cannot let you kill Zabuza. He is the one that is precious to me."
"Isn't that sweet," said a greasy voice.
The group turned and saw a short, round man wearing a business suit and sunglasses walk up with a group of armed men following him.
"Gato," Zabuza gasped out.
"Zabuza Momochi," sneered Gato, "you seem pretty pathetic without your arms, I was going to kill you and your partner here so I wouldn't have to pay you, but I think I'll humiliate you first and have some fun with the little girl."
"YOU BASTARD!" yelled Naruto.
"Careful brat," said Gato, "you wouldn't want your friends to get hurt."
Two big men came forward carrying Sasuke and Sakura with knives at their throats. Sasuke also had activated his Sharingan, but was restrained from using it.
"Now brat," said Gato, "you stay still or your friends will die."
Suddenly the men rushed at Naruto and impaled him with their katanas.
"NARUTO!" yelled Sakura and Sasuke.
Sasuke suddenly felt a burning in his Sharingan. As Naruto's body fell to the ground he felt a new power in his eye and black flames engulfed the hand of the men who were holding him and Sakura, causing them to drop them and cry out in pain as the flames burned away their bodies.
"BASTARDS!" yelled Sasuke.
"Get that kid!" yelled Gato causing ten of the men to run at Sasuke.
Before they could reach him, they were impaled by ten long spear like spikes that shot through their chests. Turning, Sasuke saw Naruto standing there with his Ultimate Spear impaling the men, his wounds healing with bursts of red energy.
"Naruto?" said Sakura, "How?"
Naruto walked over to Zabuza, "I don't see why we need to be enemies anymore, your boss obviously stabbed you in the back."
"Brat," gasped Zabuza, "if I wasn't about to die of blood loss I would kill him myself."
Naruto smirked and clapped his hands and placed them on Zabuza's chest. There was a blazing red light and Zabuza's arms regrew and his blood replenished itself.
Zabuza grinned under his mask and picked up his sword, "Thanks."
With that Sasuke, Kakashi, Naruto, and Zabuza began to tear through the ranks of Gato's forces with their unique abilities while Haku and Sakura defended Tazuna. Kakashi and Sasuke used their Sharingan to dodge and intercept the enemy attacks. Naruto used his Alchemy and Homunculus abilities to tear through their ranks without a scratch due to his ultimate shield. Zabuza simply cut down his opponents with his sword until he was in front of Gato.
"Wait!" pleaded Gato as Zabuza advanced on him, "I'll pay you double. No, triple! PLEASE!"
Zabuza simply swung his sword and separated the man's head from his body, ending his groveling.
"Looks like we are done here," said Kakashi as he looked over the dead mercenaries.
"Yeah," said Naruto, "hey Zabuza, I know we were fighting, but how about coming to the Hidden Leaf with Haku to become a Leaf Ninja?"
"What are you saying?" exclaimed Sakura, "He tried to kill you."
"I was being paid to," said Zabuza, "now that Gato's dead, I think I'd like that. It would give me a chance to finish our duel."
"We'll have to bring it up with the Hokage, but I think it will be fine," said Kakashi.
"We still have to finish the bridge," said Tazuna.
"No problem," said Naruto, just pile the materials at the edge of the bridge and I'll finish it."
"How?" asked Tazuna?
"You'll see."
xXsceneXx
The group stepped back as Naruto walked up to the pile of building material stacked at the end of the bridge. Naruto clapped his hands and there was a flash of blue light. When the light faded, the materials were gone and the bridge was complete.
"Amazing," said Tazuna, "you ninja have saved us."
There was a great cheer and they turned to see that Inari had rallied the villagers and they had arrived to see the end of the fight and the completion of the bridge.
xXsceneXx
"Take care now," said Kakashi as the group turned to leave.
"Come back and visit, big brother Naruto," said Inari.
When the Ninja were gone Tazuna turned to the villagers, "A bridge this great needs a name."
"How about The Great Naruto Bridge," said Inari, "to honor the Hero of Wave!"
The suggestion was met with cheers and The Great Naruto Bridge was named.
