Disclaimer: For all those lawyers out there with a pole up their asses just as high as Neji, I do not own Naruto, all that I own is this computer. Even the story is owned by the bunny that is running rampant in my head and is making me write this, isn't that coercion? Any of those pole-up-their-asses-lawyers help?
It was the eve of the sixth day, Sasuke and Kiba had just returned from their training, both finally able to climb the tree without getting blown of or fall off. Sakura also could now get up to the top of the tree, unfortunately she still couldn't go up and down, so she still had a small reserve but at the very least it was a bit bigger. Though the three of them were already asleep by order of Kakashi who had also recovered completely.
And now Naruto was going to have to start the plan and to be honest he didn't really want to, sure he knew it was necessary but really now, if someone would like what he was about to do, they should be declared insane. Naruto just sighed, squared his shoulders and began phase one.
He once more headed towards the door, and once again he was going to call out that he was going training just like every other day for the past week. However this time Naruto never made it trough the door, heck he never even got to open the door. Cause right at that moment when Naruto had grabbed the door handle
"Well I'm going… Oh crap.." called Naruto while the door was splintering but before he could dodge, a boomerang of all things burst through the door cutting straight into Naruto's stomach. Kakashi immediately sprang into action, quickly shouting," Kiba treat Naruto while Sasuke and Sakura protect Tazuna and his family" before running out the now splintered door only to see a clone with a really surprised look on his face. Kakashi froze, the clone just muttered, "Trai…" but he never got to finish whatever the clone was about to say cause he poofed out. It took a few seconds before it perlocated Kakshi's brain that the threat had been a friendly one and that it was now gone seeing as the threat had disabled himself, so he returned back inside. Only to freeze at what he saw, Tazuna and Tsunami where struggling to get to Inari who was pressing his hat onto Naruto's stomach to stop the bleeding while were trying to stop them. Kiba who was supposed to be doing what Inari was doing, was just sitting there, doing nothing. It seemed the only one who was doing his job had been Akamaru who had positioned himself between the door, the family and Naruto who was being kept alive by Inari though it seemed that the bleeding had nearly completely stopped, Never thought I would say this but thank god for he's got the Kyuubi. After quickly checking Naruto's vitals, he rounded onto his team
"Sakura, Sasuke what do you think you're doing? Let Tsunami and Tazuna trough. Kiba I thought I told you to treat Naruto not sit there stupidly."
Sasuke however just smirked before replying," I was doing what you told us to, I was protecting Tazuna." and Sakura being Sakura of course had to squeal at how cool Sasuke was for doing his job. However that smirk quickly left his face when he saw the murderous look on Kakashi's face.
"I told you to protect Tazuna and his family. Not prevent Tsunami and Tazuna from helping Naruto, now what would you have done should someone come in and attacked Inari and Naruto." nearly screamed out Kakashi, before rounding onto Kiba and really screaming," And why aren't you treating Naruto Kiba?"
Kiba just stammered trying to sound sincere, however Kakashi could quite easily see trough it," I panicked, I …I… I froze."
Kakashi not really wanting to deal with them while he stil hadn't completely checked Naruto out just said in a cold voice." Get out of my sight, I'm going to take Naruto up to my room and I'll deal with this when we get back to Konoha. The bridge should be complete the day after tomorrow, don't think I will forget about this."
And so Kakashi gently lifted Naruto and took him upstairs, followed closely by Inari still clutching his bloodied hat, Tazuna and Tsunami. He put him on his own futon before really checking him, but it seemed that apart from the now nearly completely closed and still very red wound across his stomach and the blood loss, Naruto was fine. The seal was still intact, however the location of the seal on his stomach might explain the reason why the wound didn't close as fast as Naruto's wound normally healed. Turning back towards the scared family he quickly told the family that Naruto was going to be fine and now just needed to rest, sighing with relieve they left Naruto and Kakashi to go to their own room to sleep after this shocking night. It would seem that Inari still hadn't quite grasped the situation completely nor what he had done. He had even left his favorite had that was now soaked in blood behind downstairs. They would be able to sleep tonight Kakashi however wouldn't, he didn't trust his own team to not try and pull something against Naruto while he was weakened. It sickened him to think about how they handled themselves but he was first going to make sure that everybody made it out of this mission alive and for that he needed those three.
After finally getting Naruto completely comfortable inside his futon, Kakashi was about to whip out his book again but was interrupted by the appearance of a Naruto clone. Or at least that was what it looked like to Kakashi, it really was Kura who had hengeed herself to look like Naruto to seal the room in which he slept, otherwise Kakashi wouldn't be able to get any sleep and would probably not be up to snuff for his fight against Zabuza, who even though he did agree to the plan did still want to engage Kakashi in a real fight, till the plan determined otherwise. Kakashi first tensed however once he saw that it was just another Naruto clone and not a hengeed Sasuke, Kiba or Sakura.
The clone didn't really say much, he just walked over towards the clothes that Naruto had been wearing and pulled out a wad of paper. It then systematically put them all over the room like last time, and put the final seal on the door before pushing a bit of chakra into it. Kura then turned back towards Kakashi and told him," I sealed the room so that no one can get in and you can get your rest. Zabuza should normally be up and running around this time so you better get some sleep. By the way, I am a back-up clone the boss always has around just in case something like this happens when training. It's happened before so just let him sleep in tomorrow. To unlock the room just pull off the seal from the door, the boss will clean up the rest of the seals when he's back up and running. I'm now gonna push in the last of my chakra unless you need to use the little boys room?" asked the in Naruto hengeed Kura with a cheeky smirk. Getting a negative reply from Kakashi Kura turned around and channeled some of her chakra/youki mix into the seal before returning back into the seal where she, Naruto and Hinata cuddled before also going to real sleep. Kakashi did sleep soundly that night, after all even he couldn't break the seals on the room so what hope could three genin have of getting in.
The next morning as predicted by Kura, Naruto was still asleep when team Kakashi went towards the bridge with Tazuna. Naruto was actually already awake inside the seal but for the plan to work he needed to still be here when Zabuza and Haku first attacked and another reason was that Gato probably would once again send some goons to Tazuna's family. Kakashi had actually suspected that one of his team might accidently forget something so that they could get back into the house, luckily for them they didn't, otherwise his opinion would've taken a way to serious blow.
Arriving at the bridge, team 7 was instantly on guard, the mist that hung over the bridge was unnatural, luckily it seemed that none of the villagers were there yet or at least none that they could see. Their suspicions were confirmed when Zabuza's shape materialized, along with the hunter nin.
"Don't worry about the villagers, I scared them off, after all, we wouldn't want anyone to spoil our fun now would we Copycat no Kakashi?"
Kakashi however didn't let his guard down, he immediately shouted," Sasuke, Sakura, Kiba protect Tazuna." At which his team thankfully did as ordered and quickly formed a triangle around Tazuna. Meanwhile Zabuza had once more performed the Mizu Bunshin no jutsu.
"Hmmph, look at them, where's the blond, at least that kid had some skill, just look at the Uchiha, he's still trembling." However at hearing this Kakashi just eye-smiled and said," Sasuke, do it!"
And so Sasuke blurred for a few seconds before suddenly all the Mizu Bunshin burst back into water.
"Hoooh, looks like the kid at least got some speed, it seems you have someone to toy with again Saku ." The face wearing nin now known as Saku just smiled and burst forward in an attack.
Kakashi not wanting to send Sasuke in alone quickly called for Kiba to also help and for Sakura to stay and guard Tazuna before he himself turned back towards Zabuza.
(A/N: gonna do the two battles one by one, do know that they happen at the same time.)
With Saku( male name for Haku) vs Sasuke and Kiba.
Saku and Sasuke quickly dashed towards each other, Sasuke with a kunai and Saku using Senbon like usual. The two of them clashed once, twice, three four times with each getting a punch and a kick in but nothing really solid. Kiba was standing on the sidelines, waiting for a good opportunity, at least that was what he was making himself believe, the real reason was that at the moment his speed just wasn't enough. However after another few the two of them suddenly stopped, but were trying to overwhelm the other opponent with their strength. Kiba thought that now would be a good time to help Sasuke out, after all if he would save the day on this mission then Hinata would soon see what kind of a loser Naruto really was and hang out with him.
Back with Sasuke and Saku, "I see you've can keep up with my speed, however that won't last, and besides that I've already got two advantages. First, one of your hands is busy so you can't use seals but I can" said Saku, before beginning a series of one handed seals making Sasuke's eyebrows shoot up. And second you're in my domain." finished Saku both the talk and the seals, before stamping on the ground making the water that was already there from scaring the villagers, jump up." Hyoton, Sensatsu Suishō" making the splashed up water turn into thousand of ice needles that flew at Sasuke, before Saku quickly leaped away. Sasuke first had a panicked look on his face however his look soon calmed, he then gathered chakra in his legs and jumped up, thusly making all the needles miss. However just as Sasuke and Saku jumped away, Kiba came barrelling at the spot where both of them used to be, only to receive the full barrage of needles. He was knocked unconscious immediately, doing a good impression of a hedgehog. Akamaru scampered after him and started to drag the now unconscious Kiba away from the battlefield.
Saku just shook his head, Idiot. Before dodging some kunai that were thrown at him by flipping backwards, Sasuke then appeared behind him, "From now on you'll only run from my attacks.". Fast but not fast enough thought Saku before turning around just as fast and going in for a roundhouse kick however Sasuke just evaded this by jumping over Saku. Sasuke then proceeded to grab two of the three kunai he had thrown before, once more throwing one at Saku's head, who not surprisingly ducked. However this was what Sasuke had been hoping for, as Saku was ducking Sasuke came up with a knee, hitting Saku in the face and sending him flying, Saku however not wanting to be outdone managed to still hit Sasuke with one of Saku's feet as he was flying backwards thus also making Sasuke stumble backwards.
Meanwhile with Zabuza and Kakashi,
Kakashi had been constantly keeping Zabuza in close-range combat, not giving him the time to get away from him and into the mist. However it wasn't meant to last, Kakashi's attention wavered for a second when he heard Kiba's momentary scream thus giving Zabuza the chance to disappear into the mist. And so the game of cat and mouse began, it was however interrupted by Haku flying between Kakashi and Zabuza, making the mist thin out a bit, thus letting Kakashi also see Sasuke stumbling back.
Both of them had the same thought, The kid can keep up with Sasuke/ Haku.
it was Zabuza however that broke the silence, "Hooh it seems this brat might at least keep you busy till the blonde brat comes."
Sasuke hearing this just growled, " I wouldn't underestimate him or the rest of my so called brats," said Kakashi," after all he could keep up with your lackey and he is the rookie of the year. Sakura was the number one kunoichi and Kiba, Kiba is part of one of the most violent clans in Konoha. And the blond haired kid, well, Naruto's the number one surprising ninja" finished Kakashi with a small sweat drop when all he could find to say about Naruto was that he was surprising.
When Zabuza and Haku heard that, they couldn't help but agree, it seemed the kid had been better at hiding his powers than even Zabuza had thought.
"Now Saku-kun, we can't let them get away with this now can we. " said Zabuza, Saku just nodded before flipping trough three simple seals and calling out" Hyoton: Makyō Hyōshō"
Suddenly Sasuke was surrounded by an entire dome of ice mirrors and before anyone could react, Saku had gone into one of the mirrors and his reflection showed on all the mirrors.
Zabuza smiled," The kid's finished, now where were we oh yes, our match." called out Zabuza as he disappeared back into the mist. Kakashi was immediately back on guard. It was only by luck that he had dodged the first strike seeing as he couldn't help Sasuke before Zabuza was dealt with. He just hoped that Naruto would come soon.
Back with Naruto, Inari and Tsunami,
Naruto had been wide awake for quite some time now, but instead of waking up like he normally would, Naruto had went into the seal as to seem still asleep to the rest of the world. There he was enjoying a nice game of shogi against Kura, however it seemed that today wasn't the day that they would finally settle things cause the game was interrupted by Naruto hearing shouts of Inari," Let go of my mom! I'll cut you, you bastards!"
Naruto smirked he was really starting to like the kid and it was becoming more and more obvious that he was indeed Zabuza's son. Quickly waking up and sprinting outside the house Naruto quickly came to the rescue. He now didn't use any clones henged as shuriken like the last though it was effective, no Naruto now just threw three kunai at apparently three attackers. Weird I know that last time their were only two samurai. However his thoughts about just how much affect the changes he had brought upon them, would also change the future, were cut short by the third mystery member also throwing two kunai. Luckily for Naruto the one kunai that did hit true was on the guardsman who was holding Tsunami. She quickly ran back towards Inari behind Naruto's back.
Turning towards them he asked," You guys alright?" getting nods in return he was about to turn back and met with a sword to the gut hadn't it been for the hidden kage Bunshin that popped up and quickly decapitated the other samurai.
Slowly turning back around towards the last mysterious member he saw that the third member was indeed a shinobi. The crossed over symbol on the headband used to belong to Kusagakure , a dark brown shirt above dark red shinobi pants and that all covered by a plain old dark blue coat. Not very stylish Naruto now knows but he wasn't going to say anything, after all he had worn that kill me orange jumpsuit abomination not too long ago. The only distinguishing mark about him seemed to be that he had absolutely no distinguishing mark on him.
Naruto frowned, this was seriously messed up, Kusa was known for their earth style and their fire style jutsu, sure it was great and all but really hiring a ninja from a village known for their fire and earth style in the country of Wave, that was just plain old stupid. Oh well all the better for me. thought Naruto, at least I should get his name.
"So as you were at the very least skilled enough to stop those two kunai though letting one of the three slip trough isn't that admirable. I'll still ask for your name?"
"In my old country it was common courtesy to introduce yourself before asking someone else his name. But I'll humour you kid, and even let that comment about the missed kunai slide, hell the only reason I didn't stop it was because I didn't like the guy. Didn't really like the other one either but you gotta do what you gotta do. So the name's Itsu Shika. And now what is yours?" replied the guy with no characteristics in a bland and monotonous voice. The guy really was one of those faces in a crowd nobody would notice.
In the meantime as the dude was talking, Naruto had gotten out his bingo book and was searching for the guy. When he finally told him his name, Naruto had to stop and go back a few pages, he had just skipped the guy, seeing as he really wasn't anything special.
"Ah yeah here it is, Itsu Shika, ex-genin from Kusagakure. Left the village after not passing the chuunin exams for the twentieth time, auch that's harsh. Has no real great techniques, has average speed and strength, only known skill is to blend into a crowd like no other. Award: 100 ryo. Huh, damn you really are weak," said Naruto which caused a tick mark to appear on the enemy ninja's forehead." Well since you asked so nicely, the name's Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto." He had at first wanted to add the next hokage thing that he used to shout out all the time, but decided against it, after all the guy was going to be dead in a few minutes, so why waste time.
However now that introductions had been made, Itsu charged at Naruto with average speed and started a fight with average skill and average strength for a man his age and size. Really the only thing about him was that he was bland, Naruto on the other hand was anything but bland. Back from the future to change the course of history as the three of them knew it and even before then his life had been one big unlikely shitty situation after the other. Naruto was just the kid Murphy had in mind when he wrote his laws. But enough about that back to the fight.
To say it was boring would be an understatement of the year, Itsu had done one fire technique and even then it had been the Katon: Gokakyu no jutsu, which wasn't even all that big or fast like Sasuke's. So Naruto had just ducked and let it fly over his head where it was already starting to fizz out. Next up Naruto had sent another kunai at the man and quickly did the Kunai Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. The man used the only doton technique that he seemed to be able to and called out: " Doton: Doryūheki", what came up didn't really impress Naruto, The wall was so thin that some of the kunai points could be seen on the other side of the wall. And to top that all of the guy was already panting. But when Itsu squared his shoulders again and was about to start another seal array, the one Naruto saw was again for the Katon Gokakyu no jutsu. So Naruto now having enough quickly took a breath did only one seal before calling out," Kitsune-bi: Endan Minimamu" before quickly releasing a miniature but very fast version of his Endan. Itsu never knew what hit him but he was soon engulfed by the flames which he tried to put out by rolling around, instead of just jumping in the ocean. Deciding to quickly finish this, Naruto leapt towards the man where he quickly slit the guys throat.
Disposing of the three bodies with a quick and relatively small Kitsune-bi: Gokakyu no jutsu. Naruto created a few shadow clones to scan around in case some other creep was still waiting before nodding towards Tsunami and Inari who were by now staring wide-eyed at him.
"Go to one of your friends house and stay there, my clones will search the area for anymore creeps but I doubt anymore will be found. Oh and Inari, Good job kid, but remember, next time, it is better to stab in the back than yell first and try to stab then. I'm going to the bridge now." called out Naruto as he sped of towards the bridge leaving behind a smiling Tsunami and a slightly embarrassed Inari, Part one was complete, he had hoped that Zabuza had managed to complete part two by now. Cause otherwise later on there might be some problems.
Arriving at the bridge Naruto saw what he had expected at least partially to see. He had expected to see Sasuke and Kiba trapped in a dome of mirrors, being toyed with by Haku, however it seemed that the idiot dog had actually run under the first attack and was now resembling a hedgehog or pin cushion. Kakashi was still battling against Zabuza though it was clear that he would rather be anywhere else .And Sakura was just being useless standing around not really aware of her surroundings while she guarded Tazuna, it seemed she only had ears for Sasuke's screams.
Deciding it was time to start part three now, Naruto quickly went towards Tazuna and Sakura, who hadn't even noticed his approach, heck even Tazuna had noticed Naruto before Sakura did. Checking over Tazuna he saw that he had indeed something in his pocket though it seemed even he wasn't yet aware of it.
Sakura finally having noticed him, quickly turned to him," What are you doing here baka, go help Sasuke fight that guy." screamed Sakura. This of course got the attention of everyone else, Naruto just face palmed. Deciding to get some revenge he screamed just as loud," Why don't you just put up a neon sign saying that I've arrived yet, just in case a deaf squirrel hasn't heard yet.?" Naruto thinking about squirrel seemingly tuned out Sakura's oncoming rant and silently started saying a prayer to the LOG.
"Naruto-baka have you even listened to a word I've said?"
"No" said Naruto causing Sakura to sweat drop, however before she could start another rant again he turned towards the bridge, seemed to think quickly turned back towards Sakura and ordered," Go and give Kiba some first aid, or at the very least pull out most of those damn senbon, that can't be healthy."
"But Kakashi-sensei said I have to protect the bridge builder." replied Sakura.
Naruto just sighed, before turning towards Tazuna and was about to reply when he noticed that he was already moving towards the mutt. Thanking his stars that that conversation was finally over, Naruto sped of back towards the dome of ice where the teme was getting his ass handed to him by Haku or Saku as they were calling him for now. Sasuke was just like the last time also going quite the good impression of a hedgehog, though he still thought that Kiba had won that prize hands down.
However Sasuke being the arrogant bastard that he was, had to of course reject any help given to him." Go away dobe I don't need you." screamed Sasuke at Naruto who was standing outside of the dome. However that just ticked Naruto off, so before he had even progressed what he had done, Naruto had kicked Sasuke out of the dome of ice and sent him careening into a pillar on the side of the bridge. He didn't hit it too hard but you could still see Sasuke's imprint on it.
"Oops." chuckled Naruto while rubbing his head, Haku just sweat dropped. Before he was serious again and shouted to Sasuke," No need to thank me teme, just be a good boy and keep your ass seated there." Sasuke was about to respond when the third phase of the plan would start, Haku seeing the opportunity chucked a senbon at the Uchiha and hit him dead on, sending him into a dead like state just as the last time. Seeing the signal given Naruto just nodded before turning inwards. " Kura-chan it's time, would you lend me some of your youki?"
"Of course Naruto-kun, anything for my Kishi-kun."
And so it was just like last time that Naruto's system was flooded by pure red youki, however unlike last time Naruto still knew perfectly what he was doing, though he wasn't going to show that. So instead he roared, still following the lines that they had planned as to let Haku and Zabuza know that he was still in control," You killed Sasuke, he might have been a teme but he was a teammate from Konoha, I'll kill you." screamed out Naruto with a dark low voice and even though Haku knew that Naruto was still in control and everything was still going according to plan, Haku still felt a shiver run down his spine after hearing that voice.
And so the carnage began again, Haku would be seen trying to send senbon at Naruto, however the demon cloak controlled by Naruto kept them all away. Naruto snarled and roared, he even started punching the mirrors one by one, which honestly surprised Haku, even though Naruto had said he would do this, to actually see it done was another matter entirely. Heck not even the Gokakyu no Jutsu from the Uchiha had even put a scratch on it and now Naruto was just destroying them left and right. Deciding to see just how strong Naruto was and willing to test himself against this Naruto as well, Haku started another series of seals, it had been a jutsu he had started to create, the first part hadn't been completed yet but thanks to Naruto destroying his mirrors he hadn't have to worry about that. So after finishing his seals he called out to Naruto, " Let's see how you handle this" loudly, before adding so only Naruto could hear," I've always wanted to try this and it even makes it seem a bit more realistic. Hyoton: Akutibuho-mingu a Kōri no Hahen" making the now shards of ice from the broken mirrors leap up and fly towards Naruto. Haku had been able to make the shards one by one but it always took too long and on top of that, if he did make them it seemed that they were always blunt instead of sharp. However now with those already smashed pieces of his mirrors he was able to use it.
Naruto however, though pleased that Haku had learned a new technique wasn't quite as pleased that he had decided to try it out on him. But not to be outdone, Naruto simply started to dodge all of the shards before finally having enough of it and destroying them all by using one of his own techniques that he had made just encase he had something homing in on him. Flipping trough a few seals he quickly called out," Kitsune-bi: Kitsunedekoiranchā sanbi." and before Haku's eye's five small but clearly very hot decoy foxes jumped around Naruto, drawing the now homing ice shards onto them and melting them all at the same time.
Finally having enough of playing around with Haku he gave him the signal, before he finally broke the correct mirror in which Haku was located. And just like last time for everybody to see, the mask cracked and slipped of just as Naruto was about to give the finishing blow. And just like last time though now intentionally Naruto stopped using the Kura's youki.
However what they hadn't counted on was that now that the two of them had enjoyed their fight a little too much, they had forgotten that Zabuza was still planning on getting caught by Kakashi's nin-dog.
However lucky for them Kura hadn't been enjoying just that match but had actually been preparing, so when the mist cleared and they saw Kakashi charging a now captured Zabuza, she sprang into action and released her illusion onto an already still alive prepared and unconscious body of a thug that a now 'invisible' Haku was dragging through a mirror.
Luckily despite the fact that the two males, at least for the moment, had been having their fun, Haku was still in time to 'save' Zabuza from the Raikiri Kakashi was about to plunge through Zabuza's chest. Now on the other hand the already prepared body was instantly killed, just like planned.
And now it was time to enact phase four, getting Zabuza killed, killing Gato and then destroying Zabuza's body so that nobody could actually verify it except the fact that the body had a kiri missing nin headband with Zabuza's blood on it and the fact that the corpse held the Kubikiribōchō. It had taken a over half an hour and a promise of Naruto to send him the next Masamune he found at least according, to finally convince Zabuza to give up the sword, Naruto thought more along the lines of the fact that he had pointed out the fact that with a Muramasa Zabuza would not be able to teach his kid Kenjutsu, but hey Naruto might just have been feeling sentimental.
However not to arouse any suspicion that Zabuza and Naruto were actually working together, Zabuza used the distraction that Saku supposed dead caused to send the Kubikiribōchō spinning towards Sakura and Tazuna. However the two of them could have easily dodged the blade if Naruto wouldn't have intercepted it. Naruto had seen what Zabuza had been doing and so was readily in time to stop the blade. Naruto stopped the blade just before it could have posed any threat. But Naruto hadn't expected the weight and speed but quickly turned it into his advantage to cause an 'accident'. You see Naruto while at least having fought a little bit against Haku using his full strength wasn't really comfortable showing his skills in front of the other rookies. So instead of just stopping the blade and holding it, he pretended to have to swing the blade up to stop it. After that he quickly turned the blade sideways and pretended to try and do a pose, only for the blade to be too heavy and still moving too fast to hold and he toppled over right in front of Sakura, who thanks to this unfortunate accident was knocked unconscious by getting hit right on top of her head with the flat side of the blade.
"You bastard! Look out where you throw this thing, you could actually hurt someone." Called out Naruto, once more slipping into his child like persona, before in a childish fit throwing the Kubikiribōchō away towards the other side of the bridge where it got stuck into the pavement.
Seeing as his sword was now outside of his reach, no thanks to the blonde brat, Zabuza jumped back a few feet and once again was about to start the battle with a jutsu that Kakashi was already copying however Zabuza wasn't really hoping to win this battle anymore, he was now just stalling till Gato came as he knew was coming, and he didn't have to wait long. Unfortunately before Gato could show up, Kakashi had kicked it up a gear and had disabled one of Zabuza's arms much to his displeasure.
"Your future is dead, and now that you no longer have anyone to take your hits…" However before Kakashi could finish his monologue that would follow with Zabuza's dead, Gato interrupted.
"Hmmph, so this is what has become of the Demon of the Mist. Not even capable of simply killing an old man and defeated by a bunch of brats and their babysitter. Disgusting."
Zabuza growled and shot a glare towards Gato. "Oh well, it wasn't like I was going to pay you anyway." laughed Gato," After all, all these nice people here work for just your fee, so you're fired." ended Gato,
Zabuza turned towards Kakashi," Well it seems I'm out of a job, so I've got no beef with you or the old man. And I've been wanting to kill that shit since the first time I've met him."
"Well I'm not going to try kill you if I don't have to, after all you're no longer a threat to me but you could still help against these guys." Answered Kakashi with a grin.
Nodding, Zabuza turned towards Naruto sending him the signal for the go ahead before saying," You know Saku was always to nice. I know I probably won't survive this, hell with this wound on me I probably wouldn't even stand a chance against you kid. So promise me this kid, Saku had a sister, the two of them got separated and the kid had been searching for her ever since. That was actually the real reason we came here, could you find her for me. We narrowed her down to within a mile of this village, I might not have treated him good but still he was more than a tool for me. So please kid, save her, not for me but him." Naruto just nodded his head, glad that Zabuza had been able to set up a good cover story." I promise" answered Naruto. Zabuza grinned before turning back towards Gato and his men who were still just standing at the other side of the bridge.
"Hey kid, I'm gonna get Gato, you burn the rest of them okay?" shouted Zabuza again as he sped off. Grabbing his loyal Kubikiribōchō for the very last time before dashing straight trough the group of thugs that Gato had hired. Slicing straight trough them, until he came to Gato with an crazed glint in his eyes and a creepy smile on his face as he cut Gato's head of sending it flying straight up, propelled by the now spurting blood that came out of his jugular arteries.
Meanwhile Naruto had quickly made a kage bunshin and was standing next to Kakashi. Before both started a different series of about 10 seals. Both held their final seal before Naruto himself took a deep breath and the Bunshin shot out his arm, just as Zabuza turned cleaved Gato's head off.
"Kitsune-bi: Sen'ei Surasshutēru hirameki" and "Futon: Tatsumaki" making the kage bunshin send out multiple tails of foxfire before they all suddenly seemed to let go of his wrist instead of staying stuck on them and at the same time the real Naruto blew out his breath making a giant twister seem to come out of him that sucked everything in. Before the two attacks met and seemed to merge together making the still widening twister burst aflame and if possible get more suction as both Naruto and the bunshin called out, "Konbi no jutsu: Uzu no Kitsune."
And so before the whirlpool of fire could consume both Zabuza and the entire group of thugs, Kakashi and Naruto both saw him turn around and smile before finally the fire consume him and all of the thugs, even surprising Naruto. After the resulting explosion was over and most of the fires were out only leaving piles of ashes, Naruto sent a "Fūton: Daitoppa" towards it, blowing away all the ash, the only thing that remained were the weapons that the thugs had been using, the Kuchiribou and surprisingly enough Zabuza's metal headband, with a little bit of blood on the back of it, just enough to make id still possible.
It was just as Naruto was just blowing away the ashes that the villagers finally arrived. Inari at the front clutching the knife Naruto had left him in his right hand and a crossbow in his left. Inari seeing that the only people remaining seemed to be the ninja his grandpa had hired, his grandfather and a dead body.
"What we're too late? Oh come on!" asked and complained Inari.
Naruto just smiled at the new and improved Inari, "Sorry kid, maybe some other time."
After this the villagers finally got it, they had won. So they did what anyone would have done in that situation, they cheered. Kakashi on other hand was just blown away, not only had Naruto actually killed, he had killed all of them without even blinking and then there was the fact that the kid had just used a combination jutsu all by himself. Suddenly it hit Kakashi, with the fight finally finished, that he had only seen Naruto still conscious, so slightly panicking, he quickly checked all of team 7. He sighed, Sakura only had a bump on the head from, what Naruto said, the flat side of a blade, Sasuke was already back awake and was cursing Naruto for he had apparently kicked Sasuke. And Kiba seemed like a porcupine but it fortunately he had only fainted do to shock so when Kakashi slapped him, he quickly woke up. The wounds they had, weren't bad, they hurt like hell and were paralysing but normally healed by the end of the day if no kill hit was given.
The next day team 7 was completely recovered, though the three of them did miss the party. Kakashi had decided that since the mission was finally complete, they best head back home as fast as possible, before anything else got messed up. And so the five of them were about to leave across the now finished and clean bridge when Naruto stopped. Team 7 turned around and of course it was Sakura who screeched again," What are you doing Baka, hurry up we're leaving."
"Yeah dobe, come on let's go!" shouted Kiba
"hnn?" guess who this one is.
Naruto just shook his head, it was then that Kakashi asked his question," What's the matter Naruto? The mission is over, time to head home."
Only for Naruto to once again shake his head no," Sorry Kakashi-san but my mission isn't done just yet. I still have to keep my promise. Don't worry with Gato gone no other missing nin should be in the area, so you go ahead, I'm still staying ."
Now the three genin were confused, Kakshi on the other hand sighed, he had hoped that Naruto hadn't taken that promise so seriously. "Fine, it's not like I can stop you, unless I knock you out. And I'm not about to do that, so good luck. I'll tell the H"
"Don't worry about jiji, already sent a message trough Hinata to him, he'll know before you get back. Besides the mission was over sooner than planned and Shino doesn't get back for another three days so I'm still good." Interrupted Naruto.
Kakashi nodded, sighed again before motioning for his team to follow. The villagers were there thinking their hero would also be leaving only to find out now that he was still staying for a little while, so the applause wasn't as big as they had planned, though in Sasuke's head it was looking as if he was now a god in their eyes.
The next morning after another night of partying Naruto got up, brushed his teeth and then got down to the kitchen where Tsunami, Tazuna and Inari were already having breakfast. Seeing Naruto, Inari immediately smiled, "Goodmorning, Naruto-nii-san. Say, say, will you teach me again today?"
"Goodmorning Naruto-san/ blonde brat." Said Tsunami and Tazuna at the same time as Inari.
"Goodmorning and sorry Inari, but I've already got other things to do. You know I've told you I'm just staying find Haku and some other things as well." Answered Naruto, remaining mysterious again as to his other activities, just as a knock was heard. It seemed that phase 5 was already going to begin. Without saying a word, Naruto walked towards the door and opened it only to come eye to eye, eyebrow to no eyebrow, after which the eyebrow rose slightly.
"Good morning Zabuza-san, Haku-chan. Wasn't expecting you till this evening."
"yeah yeah kid." grunted Zabuza clearly anxious to get inside.
Haku on the other hand just smirked and said," Zabuza-san 's been anxious the entire time. He couldn't sit still if it hadn't been for the fact that he didn't want those annoying hunter-nin after him then he would've come here the day before yesterday. So Naruto how's your day been?" wanting to egg Zabuza some more. Something Naruto was sure Haku had been doing the entire previous day.
However Naruto saw scar the signs of agitation that Zabuza was showing and unlike Haku, Naruto was still scared of Zabuza especially if he stood between him and his kid.
"Cut the guy some slack Haku-chan, after all it isn't every day you meet your son that you never knew you had till some random genin comes up to you and says hey I think this might just be a coincidence but the grandchild of the person you're trying to kill could very well be your son so please don't. Plus do you really want to keep Zabuza-san any longer?" finished Naruto.
Haku eventually relented, after seeing that Zabuza was by now leaking killing intent, also the fact that his hand kept twitching didn't spell much good especially now that Zabuza could actually vent his anger on Naruto. And Haku still needed Naruto to get that seal of him and turn him back to his/ her original form, damn that was probably gonna be complicated later. Oh well Haku thought, well cross that bridge when we get there, even if that bridge is coming up very fast.
Naruto then just simply let the two of them in and turned around to see three stunned and completely open mouthed faces that where first staring at Zabuza and Haku before swivelling back at him, clearly asking for an explanation. And so Naruto began, how he had felt that Zabuza hadn't been such a bad guy, how he had wanted to save both of them. Which was news to all five of them, including Zabuza and Haku. Then how he found out about Inari being Zabuza's son, Haku's seal, the plan to get the hunter nin of his back, everything.
After the story was over Tsunami was the first to respond," You're sure? I mean you're 100% sure that the man that tried to murder my father is Inari's father."
Naruto nodded, before adding," I'm sure you don't know this but Zabuza could have easily killed you before you even went to Konoha or during the fight on the bridge. Even if it wasn't me here, i don't think he would killed your father, not if he took the time to hear the story and certainly not if Haku-chan would have heard the story."
Tazuna on the other hand was still having trouble with the fact that the man that had saved him from quite certain death, now seemed to come here and say that the person who tried to kill him, was his grandson's father. Quite a large piece of information to swallow. However he knew that depending on how Inari was taking this, he would get over it, after all Zabuza did kill Gato for them.
After that question there was silence. It lasted for a few minutes, when it started to get annoyingly so. Zabuza still hadn' t said word since they had entered the building, he had just been staring at Inari and sometimes at Tsunami after which he blushed. At which point Tsunami would see the blush and would also blush before both regained their composure again and they both settled back to look at Inari who seemed deep in thought. After what seemed like an eternity for Zabuza, Inari finally spoke," He's really my tou-san?" he asked with a broken voice, not asking Zabuza but Naruto for an answer.
"Yeah kid, he is."
And that was all that was needed, the word of his nii-san was enough for Inari, plus we can't forget, the kid was only 7 years old. So he flew into Zabuza's arms, crying about tou-san and what not.
Seeing that Zabuza now had everything under controle and that the four of them needed to talk, Naruto motioned to Haku to follow, it was time to get that seal of off him/her, whatever.
However before Naruto was going to do that, he had to send out some of his other clones to finish the rest of his things.
Now contrary to popular belief, to undo a seal made by another master, you do not need an entire room full of writing, no, to the contrary, you need a small enough seal that isn't too big. You see the progress of unsealing something that isn't made for the purpose of being unsealed like say a storage seal, has three different steps. First you make a small seal array that will completely uncover the seal thus making the seal revert back to the original wide and open form. Next up you need to analyse the seal and break it down to its basic compounds and the different ways the compounds are linked together. A perfect example would be, a trigger followed by a response like branch family seal of the hyuuga's pain response after activating it after a seal and molding the chakra a certain way. But we're not here to analyse the hyuuga branch seal at the moment. Than the last and final step would be deconstruction. Working from the outside in, destroying the links, the compounds making sure you do not trigger something by accident or accidently fall into a booby trap.
But luckily for Naruto he normally now would not have to worry about that. Luckily for Haku Naruto had already read about the seal and so already knew the hardest part in this case, finding the right seal to complete the first step without causing anything to happen in the seal. It was quite irksome, to complete the first step simply because if you do not know the key to the seal to unravel it then it could take months till you finally find the right one to see the entire seal and not just portions. Though working in portions is also possible but more troublesome especially since you only see the links in the portion that you have unravelled and so could like that miss a trap or connection between different portions of the seal.
Now it was only morning, so if Naruto's estimate was right and the seal was not too messed up then he should have the seal of in a couple of minutes. Unfortunately for Naruto and Haku this wasn't the case, but then again what do you expect with Murphy's chew toy named Naruto.
Naruto had Haku undress before him in the center of the room and began with the primary step, drawing the seal that Naruto knew would draw out the entire seal if it was complete, Naruto was quite certain that it would work and work it did. It quickly took the edges of the still compressed seal and glowed, and then in the blink of an eye the entire seal was laid bare for Naruto to see. Unfortunately this was where the troubles began, thanks to it not being a complete seal or just not done by someone with sufficient experience with seals, the entire seal had somehow managed to twist itself. Making it less effective, the very reason why Haku was still able to use his/her Hyouton since it was normally only active in a female, but on the other hand would make it so much more difficult to find all the compounds and the relations they had to eachother, seeing as the seal was all mixed. Like someone made the seal on a piece of paper and then decided to crumple up the paper and twist it before applying it. Oh well thought Naruto, lucky for me, I'm an seal master, otherwise i might just fuck something up, though I do think that Haku will still have problems from this seal regardless of how good I am.
And so Naruto began the five hour long quest to analyse the seal, only to find out that while he could take of the seal and thus make Haku's Hyouton stronger, his character would probably remain completely the same, including his preferences. But he wasn't entirely sure of this fact so it was then after five grouling hours that Naruto could finally begin at the real unravelling.
So by the time that Naruto and a now female Haku, who was still coming to terms with her now being a femle, came down and as expected the talk downstairs was over. However neither Naruto nor Haku had expected to see the three of them sitting at the table eating dinner like Zabuza had always been there, laughing, telling stories just like a regular family. And although it was quite a weird sight to see and you could still feel an underlying tenseness, thanks to Naruto's intervention, this family now had a brighter future ahead of them, and Naruto knew that at least he had bettered one families life. And he wasn't even done with the surprises, though they and the other villagers wouldn't know that till tomorrow when Naruto would be leaving.
However Zabuza no matter how at home he seemed at the table like a real dad, still was a jounin level nin, so after only a few seconds of watching them and not saying anything Zabuza decided to announce their arrival. "So everything work out brat?" asked Zabuza.
"Yeah, in the end everything worked out, some complications but nothing i couldn't handle. Why don't you see for yourself." Replied Naruto, stepping out of the way, so that the three of them could get a better look at the now clearly female Haku.
She wore the same Kimono that she had worn when she had first met Naruto. However instead of keeping it closed she let the kimono now fall open, letting show that she was still a shinobi. Underneath the kimono she wore a simple purple tunic and tight knee pants that showed her now quite large C-cup and shapely ass, she was truly a knock-out.
Three of them were completely stunned, Zabuza's jaw was on the floor, Tazuna kept blinking, Inari was just staring. Tsunami was smiling, even if she was impressed she wasn't going to stare, that was rude, so when she saw the three men doing just that she quickly corrected them.
Inari got a slight tap on the head, getting him to stop and blush while looking away, Tazuna got a little harder tap nearly punching him out of his chair. However it was the treatment Zabuza got that made Naruto burst out laughing, Tsunami not liking how rude Zabuza was being got a stomp on the foot and a quite clear admonishment," Don't you see how nervous she is, don't just sit there and stare, say or at least do something."
That snapped Zabuza out of it and he quickly rose up and grabbed Haku in a hug after a few minutes he whispered. "No need to be nervous my daughter, you look stunning."
"See Haku-chan, I told you, you were a real knock-out." Added Naruto, who by now had finally stopped laughing, getting an evil glare from Zabuza who was taking the protective father figure role way too serious. Though that was just Naruto's opinion.
Haku on the other hand just smiled ,"Thanks, tou-san." Whispered Haku back.
Naruto once again seeing that he was now once more superfluous, made to go away however he was stopped by Haku." Wait, don't go. Please."
Naruto turned around and smiled then shook his head not wanting to intrude on this family moment.
Zabuza however wasn't having it," Now look kid, she wants you to stay. After all isn't it the brother's duty to do as his sis says?" Hearing Zabuza say that, Haku quickly nodded. "After all if she's going without me to Konoha then I'm gonna need your solemn vow as a brother that you're going to take care of her."
Hearing Zabuza identify him as Haku's brother and protector and Haku agreeing was too much, after all it wasn't everyday you get a surrogate sister. So deciding that his clones could deal with it, Naruto stayed and he got to know all of them a little better though Naruto mainly focused on Haku while Tsunami, Tazuna and Inari focused on getting details out of Zabuza.
All in all it was quite the last night that Naruto had spent in Wave. But it wasn't meant to last cause Naruto and Haku would need to leave early tomorrow morning to get back in time for Naruto to rejoin his team.
The next morning the entire village once more gathered at the bridge to now really say goodbye to their hero.
But before Naruto was leaving he still had a couple of surprises for them all. First of was his promise to Zabuza, yesterday when he had sent clones to raid Gato's mansion he hadn't expected to find much, maybe some money and hopefully the ledger, his real objective. However what he found was that and much more, not only had he found the ledger inside a vault, with it were also dozens of letters between Gato and crime syndicates, spies he had inside Konoha and other countries,... thus while handy it wasn't anything too crucial. But Naruto had also found one of the few Marasume blades safely locked away inside the manor, a gigantic blade also known as Basutā Sōdo; a perfect match for Zabuza seeing as he was already used to swinging around a big ass sword. So when the clone had dispelled and Naruto had gotten the memories he had quickly sealed it and gift wrapped it, just for the hell of it.
Now at the bridge Naruto turned back and pulled out said scroll before throwing it towards Zabuza," Here, now end of the bargain is complete don't you forget your part." Added naruto. Zabuza knowing a new master piece would be waiting inside of the seal, quickly unsealed and was impressed at what he found, though he for the love of him couldn't figure out just how Naruto had gotten his hands on this sword, it was rumoured to have been lost a long time ago. So Zabuza just had to ask," Come on kid, tell me just how the fuck do you keep finding these things, from what i've heard this is your third one you found in the nearly six months you've been a genin. Just how do you do it?"
Naruto just chuckled and deadpanned," Luck. No really I mean yours really was luck. It just so happened that the sword you now have in your possession was actually yours to begin with, after all you were the one that killed the previous owner. A little shit that probably couldn't even lift it. Just one thing, if you find out what the special powers are, could you let me know, i'm kinda curious."
"Wait a minute," shouted Zabuza," you mean to tell me that that shit Gato had such a beauty in his possession?"
Getting a nod from Naruto was all it took and Zabuza started laughing, creeping quite a bit of people out, people he had nearly killed not two days ago, people who were still quite scared of him especially since he now had a new sword that they hoped he wouldn't test on them.
Seeing that Zabuza would probably take a little while he went on to his next surprise." Oh yeah before i forget I've left the village a little something. Fuin no genjutsu: Nōchi o shōmetsu: Kai." Unsealing his genjustu seal that he had used to hide an entire farmland filled with all different kinds of vegetables. However Naruto wasn't done yet, and so he called out again," Fuin no genjutsu: Okane o shōmetsu: Kai" Making different sacs of money appear out of nowhere behind the villagers, each sac with a different name on it.
And then for his final stunt which he thought was truly genius he gave one more scroll to Tazuna before waving his hand, smiling shouting out" I know you wanna thank me but i don't want that so nah!"and with that exclamation poofed out, shocking everybody there.
The entire village couldn't believe, their hero had just not only given them extra money, extra food and god only knows what else inside of that last scroll, he had now also left without letting them even express their gratitude. Their stupor was interrupted by Zabuza's laugh," Well I've got to hand it to the kid, he sure is unpredictable."
Tsunami was the first one out of her stupor after all she was kinda used to Naruto doing the unexpected, hell he found Inari's father that now seemed to even be potential to be more than just a father maybe even a husband.
"You know, we still haven't named this bridge!" she exclaimed.
Tazuna now also snapping out of it was about to suggest the Great Tazuna bridge however before he even could Tsunami added," And dad if you even think about suggesting such a ludicrous thing such as the Great Tazuna bridge then I'll let Zabuza-kun here test his new blade out on you." That quickly shut him up. Deciding that his suggestions probably wouldn't be taken serious he would first read the extra scroll the kid had given him.
The suggestion were running wild, till Inari finally suggested, "How about the Great Naruto bridge?"
Everybody went silent immediately, really liking the way how it would honour their hero unfortunately Tazuna had to shoot it down." Well while I'm quite certain that anybody else would like that, Naruto wouldn't. Hell it even says so right here." Said Tazuna waving the last scroll around,"It's like he knew we were gonna name it that. However the name he did suggest i like even more. The great phoenix bridge!" And if possible this was greeted with an even louder cheer than the great naruto bridge." Heck the kid even gave an explanation, who wants to hear?" once more getting a great cheer out of the crowd Tazuna began reading." The great phoenix bridge, Great cause i just know that any name without great in it would be shot down by Tazuna, the great bridgebuilder who only makes great bridges." Started Tazuna, and having to chuckle at this, the kid had finally gotten it." Phoenix, the symbol of rebirth and second chances, a second chance for wave and others," looking pointedly towards Zabuza at this, who nodded in reply" a creature that is reborn and become even stronger, learning from the past but also leaving it behind. Also the phoenix is considered a being of light, a symbol for a brighter future. Just like the future of Wave." Finished Tazuna.
And Zabuza's reply came," I think I speak for all of us here that we will never forget that kid, a real hero. So let's follow his wishes. People I present to you The great Phoenix bridge!" After that the town once more cheered. And so a new chapter was turned for Wave.
With Naruto and Haku already half way to Konoha.
"Was it really necessary for us to leave like that Naruto-san?"
"Well not really, but hey I got a demon kitsune in me, what do you expect that I don't pull a prank when I can?"
Haku just sighed while shaking his head. "Fine let's get going Naruto-kun, before you get bored and decide to prank me."
Naruto just faked looking offended as they continued.
That same evening at the gates of Konoha.
"I'm sooo bored. Nothing excited ever happens here." Complained Kotetsu.
"Oh shut up, be grateful that nothing is happening." Replied Izumo, however just as that was said Naruto came into view, with an extra passenger.
The two chunin looked at eachother, sure they complained a lot but they weren't expecting for anything to actually happen and Naruto returning with someone extra did qualify as something happening.
"Halt, state your name and your bussines in this village."
"Hey Izumo, it's me, Naruto, don't you recognize me anymore?" whined Naruto.
The two just sighed," we know you Naruto however we do not know just who she here is?"
"Ohhh, right how rude of me. Haku-chan i would like to introduce Izumo and Kotetsu the eternal guardsman of the north gate. Izumo, Kotetsu, this is Haku-chan, she's going to be joining our village."
The two of them were stunned, not only by the familiarity that naruto seemed to have with them when they didn't even know the kid, then they were annoyed by him calling them the eternal guardsman even if that was true and then they were stunned again by the beauty of who they now knew to be Haku.
Seeing the two of them staring at Haku, Naruto quickly got annoyed," Oi,, are you going to stare like that all night or are you going to finally check us in?" asked Naruto, snapping both of them out of it.
"Uh, yeah right, sorry." They both stammered, before Izumo took over," Okay, I'll still need your full name and will have to take your weapons from you, sorry village policy." Haku however just nodded after telling them her full name, Haku no Yuki. After that Naruto quickly ushered her trough, not really liking the way that Izumo and Kotetsu had been eying Haku ever since she had been introduced.
"Well let's go Haku-chan, better get this over with. I'm sorry to say but even if the Hokage-jiji won't have a problem with it, I'm pretty sure the council will, just because you're with me."
Haku just nodded and followed Naruto to the Hokage tower, she was still too mesmerised by Konoha to say anything. Before coming here she had never really stayed in a village bigger than what was found in Wave, so Konoha was a first.
Stomping trough the door and once again completely ignoring the secretary Naruto marched into the Hokage's office. Sarutobi looked up and saw Naruto, with an extra person. He sighed, he just knew that whatever Naruto had gotten into, would give him a shitload of paperwork again. But still he smiled after all Naruto still was one of his favourite ninja.
"Hey jiji."
"good evening Naruto." Replied Sarutobi, "So naruto who is this you brought with you?"
Naruto looked confused for one second thinking Kakashi would have already explained and if not Kakashi then at least his letter would have." Huh, well this is Haku, you know the girl i was talking about in my letter and that I'm pretty sure Kakashi has also already mentioned."
Sarutobi looked pensive for a moment, before snapping back up, he had read Naruto's letter and Kakashi had told him about the promise that Naruto made, but he had never expected Naruto to find the girl soo quickly." Ah, so you must be haku-chan, correct?"
Haku stood completely still and speechless first from Konoha and now from talking to the Hokage. So Naruto decided to jump in," Yeah she is, and she wants to join Konoha, isn't that great?" asked an once more excited Naruto.
Sarutobi sighed, Yep a shitload of paperwork.
Turning towards Haku again he gave her a once over, before nodding and then turning back towards Naruto, looking expectedly. Knowing what he wanted Naruto once again began explaining, telling the entire story of the mission including the promise, just like Kakashi had told but also adding what extra he had done for Wave, such as the seals he had placed on the bridge, the chakra reservoir that was powering those seals, the extra money and extra food he had made especially the ledger that he also handed over. Though Naruto knew what to do with it, he wasn't Hokage anymore so now he could only give it to the old man and hope that he did what was needed.
After that Naruto, Haku filled in the paperwork necessary to add her to the village and immediately put her on the active shinobi force as a chuunin all thanks to being under the Namikaze-Uzuamki clan protection. If not then she would have been put on probation for at least half a year and would've probably been forced to start as genin even though her skill clearly was high chuunin maybe even Tokubetsu jounin.
After the paperwork was finally finished, at least for Naruto and Haku, the Hokage still had a shitload of extra to fill in, in triplicate, Haku and Naruto were dismissed and went back home, back to Hinata who Naruto had missed a lot.
But that is for another time.
Authors note:
At this I'm gonna end this chapter cause I've been stumped for a long time on how to end this arc so Haku getting to know the village and such will not be written by me at least not now, maybe if the inspiration is back.
Sorry for the extremely long wait but I kinda had writers block, added to that was that my computer crashed once during this time, completely deleting this story from my hard drive when I was about half way trough so that was another set back. SO do not worry this is not abandoned
Tell me what you think about it! SO review or I'll send my bunnies after you!
Though I might have had writers block I do now have a shitload of ideas for the chuunin exam so I hope that writing will pick back up.
this is not yet beta-ed but I've been waiting for 3 days and he normally sends it back inside this limit so I'll just post it like this and once the beta is complete will replace it
