C-Class Mission: Battle of the Bridge

Naruto - New, Yet So Old - Naruto - New, Yet So Old

In a small hut with a loft room, three people met. One was listed in all Shinobi Bingo Books as a rogue ninja...a missing ninja from the village Hidden in the Mist. Another was a boy that could easily confuse others regarding his gender because of his delicate feature. The last was another boy. This one is blond, brash and known as the demon-child of Konoha.

"Hiya," Naruto had said when he entered the hut and held up his hands to indicate he wasn't hold a weapon when he was faced with a sword point, nearly nicking his nose. "Whoah, easy there big guy," he said. "I'm sorry I'm late, but I need to get dodge a few nosy ninjas."

"Hmph," Zabuza said from seated position. "Tell me what you're thinking."

"Can't," the blond said. "I think of too many things at a time and can process quite a bit. So what are you really asking?"

"What do you want from me," Zabuza said putting away his sword. "Sit down."

Naruto pulled out a pouch that contained only three scrolls. He handed that to Haku that had been hovering on the man's right side. "Those three contain options," the blond said. "Read them and see which one you'd prefer to do. I'm not talking about anything long term, but short term, maybe six months to a year or two, that's all."

"That's all, he says," Zabuza sneered, while the other boy read through the scrolls and gasped. "Haku?"

"These are quite thorough," Haku said handing one of them to his Master. "They're binding aren't they?"

"Of course they are," Naruto said. "Can't have people turn against what I'm doing here, now can I? However, I choose not to have people linked to me that way for the rest of their lives, that'd be wrong. So yeah, they're all short term."

Zabuza's eyebrow-less, eyes were wide as he read through the conditions of the first scroll. The first one was a base 'Enforcer' contract with scenarios and expectations of the position. There was not much to this one.

The second was more of a 'Regent' and Enforcer under the direct head of Kitsune Company Limited, who's position was to seek out those that could fit with the mission statement that the company had first began with.

The third was more Hunter-like for Kitsune Co. Ltd., including along with the Enforcer title to maintain the status quo for the businesses run by the people hired by the company. This one was more specific in taking down those that failed their contracts or betrayed their bonds.

"Interesting," the man said. "How am I supposed to travel through the regions?"

"How have you done so in the past," Naruto asked. "Don't you know how to Henge or disguise yourselves?"

"I'm the Demon of the Mist," Zabuza said. "I never attended any type of school for this shit."

"Hm," Naruto said. "How about a trade...of skills?"

"What are you talking about," the man asked.

"Master in Kenjutsu," Haku said with insightful awe of the blond before him. "You want help in Kenjutsu and are willing to exchange skill information?"

Naruto shrugged and then noticed that the other two exchanged looks. "Up to you really," the boy said. "The Company is legit and so are the contracts and bonds that most of the workers are under. However, I'm only a Genin from Konoha and I can't visit every place in the Land of Waves to ensure that things run smoothly."

"How long have you been working to nail Gato," Zabuza asked.

Naruto made a show of counting on his fingers, before the grinning toothily at the man and saying, "About two years, give or take a month or so."

Zabuza grinned widely from behind his mask. He looked at his apprentice and said, "You choose the one you want." Then he looked at the blond boy and asked, "Are the islands in the Land of Waves going to become a hidden haven of the missing?"

"Well you know where that Shinobi village used to be," Naruto said. "You know, Hidden in the Whirling Tides. There's nothing wrong with the land nearby. Nothing says that another Shinobi Village can't grow from the ruins. Especially if some arrive under bonds or choose loyalty to the land and area for once." His blue eyes flashed.

"What do you mean," Haku asked.

"Why are the big villages doing so well, while others seem to struggle in petty power games," Naruto asked.

"They care about the people and the land," Zabuza said. "I've always noticed that."

Haku nodded and said, "So have I." He turned to his Master and said, "I like the second and the third one."

"Vicious little heart," Zabuza said in a tone that sounded fond of the boy. "What do you think?"

"I can write it up on the fly," Naruto said. "It will be binding and you'll be stuck in these lands for a couple of years though. I mean never to move beyond the borders until the contract is finished."

"Our own kingdom," Zabuza said with an evil sounding laugh. The dark haired boy sitting next to him just smiled. "Will we be able to protect it however we wanted to?"

"Within reason," Naruto told him. "If someone required killing, I wouldn't be against it. I'd only take exception if the ones following the parameters of their contracts died and didn't deserve it."

"What happens when all contracts are completed," Haku asked.

"The people are fully free," Naruto said. "No more obligations and the Land must learn to live without someone at its helm. I figure in about two years, they'll have forgotten about Gato. Five years after that the Kitsune Company will be forgotten as other businesses will be given a chance to rise."

"What about the Kitsune Company," Zabuza asked.

"Defunct and the name locked under legal terms to never be used for the next two hundred years," Naruto explained.

"The idea of the Shinobi village among these islands," Zabuza asked.

"Well there are several small islands that are currently under the possession of Kitsune Company Limited," Naruto told them. "A few are actually unoccupied and are of a comparable size to Konoha."

"You establish a new village in this land and I'll be..." Zabuza stopped as his boy's hand was placed on his arm. He looked over at the youth that he'd picked up to be his 'tool' and 'weapon' against his enemies. "We'll your ninjas."

"You know that's a dream that may never happen," Naruto said. "I do know that I'm going to be the Hokage of Konoha. Why don't you do it?"

"Paperwork," Zabuza said in a scornful tone. "I'm not made for paperwork." Haku snickered behind his delicate looking hand.

"No ninja is," Naruto said with a grin. "Find someone trustworthy then."

"If I do, you're vetting them," Zabuza said. The blond shrugged at that. "Protect what land?"

"The Land of Waves, of course," Naruto said. "It may seem like a small country, but if you add an island here and there, it's no longer that small."

Haku then asked, "How do we get fulfill the contract we have with Gato, if we don't know how to Henge for long periods of time?"

"You don't have to do that," Naruto said. "What is your contract?"

"Prevent the bridge from being built," Haku said.

"Bring the head of the Bridge Builder to Gato," Zabuza said.

"Ah," Naruto said. "I'll be right back, give me a moment." He stepped outside, wrote on a small two inch square piece of paper. He activated it and then came back into the hut carrying Zabuza's dead head. He tossed it onto the table, startling the true Zabuza and Haku.

"What the..." Zabuza said, looking at it closely. "Now that's an interesting trick."

"Very," Haku said. "That's fascinating, what is it?"

Naruto pulled off the square paper and revealed the log under it. "What do you think? I convince the old man to hold off the completion of his bridge, but still make it look like there are workers on it, just in case, someone's looking for something that changes the conviction of the people."

"I'm interested," Zabuza said. "Haku?"

"Yes," Haku said. "We can continue to live somewhere nearby and do what we're good at."

"All right," the missing ninja said. "We'll take sign the bond and take your contract, now let's talk tasks..."

Naruto grinned and began to explain some of his plans.

Naruto - New, Yet So Old - Naruto - New, Yet So Old

Chakra exhaustion had finally taken its toll on the blond Jinchuriki of Konoha. He'd been able to convince Tazuna and his teammates not to allow the workers on the bridge, but to make it look there are workers there.

"Please Kakashi-sensei," Naruto said. "Please don't take action unless attacked. Promise me...all of you promise me this or I'll find a way to stay awake."

"Naruto you know, that..."

"NO," Naruto shouted. "Don't ruin it, please...Sasuke trust me...don't attack, there will be others...to test our skills..." He faded and drooped, "Please honour my pact with the miss..."

Kakashi lifted the boy and carried him to the sleeping pallet. He took pulled the scroll from the boy's hands and read the contents. "Naruto...what have you done?"

The boy's eyes suddenly opened to the red of the fox and the graveled voice said, "Honour the boy's pact, you'll not regret it." The eyes were about to close, but then flew open. "Leave the kit alone too."

"What the..." Kakashi said to the fact that the Fox, the one confined within the boy had spoken to him. "What kit?" He watched, as a swirl of purple chakra rose from the boy's stomach to reveal a young fox, no taller than a quarter of the blond's leg. The little fox sniffed at him and then curled into the boy's arms, as the blond curled around the small form protectively.

Naruto - New, Yet So Old - Naruto - New, Yet So Old

Tokuma and Risa raced against time in order to complete their commissions for the clans. It had been a rare opportunity, but now they needed to race back to the village of the bridge builder to help their ex-teammate out. They knew of the boy's plans when a clone had found them and told them about it.

The finished up where they could, knowing that they could return to pick up the last of their orders. They arrived back in Tazuna's village to drop their things off at the Bridge builder's house and to discuss plans that Naruto had been able to convey clearly to them.

The Bridge Builder shooed his workers home and was going to be protected by Sakura, while Tokuma and Kakashi discussed a few things with Zabuza. That was the best they could do.

Zabuza said, "Blondie told me to call forth the mist which would effectively hide a few things, like the fact that I'm not killing any of you. We can make it look flashy to those that don't any better which is pretty much the sum of Gato's forces."

"Why have you changed your plans," Tazuna asked.

"Naruto is very interesting," Haku told him. "He wants an exchange of service."

"Quid pro quo," Risa said. "We were always like that when we were a team. What's your favourite weapon?"

Haku held up several senbon needles. The Inuzuka girl perked up at that.

"That's something we never really trained in," she said. "Can you give some instruction?"

"Sure," the boy said. "What would you like to know?"

"Everything," Risa said with her pup yipping in agreement. "As much as you can tell us now, until short stuff comes to save the day."

"Very well," Haku said. "How about we talk over there," he indicated the area where the pink haired Kunoichi was. The girl with the dog nodded. The Uchiha boy followed because he was interested in listening to what that girlish looking boy had to say about such a simple weapon.

Zabuza watch his boy sit in a circle surrounded by others nearly his age and begin an explanation on the use of senbon for acupuncture and as a take-down weapon. He smiled behind his mask and then turned back to the conversation, well argument actually happening between the two Konoha Jounin.

"Trust Naruto," Tokuma said. "He's your Genin for Kami's sake, you should trust him when he says that some things can change."

"But has IT ever talked to you," Kakashi asked. "You know what I'm talking about."

The Hyuga sighed and said, "Once." He rubbed the back of his neck and then said, "It did once, but there were no threats from it, no...nothing."

"What did it say," the one eyed Jounin asked.

"Let him sleep," Tokuma said. "He was exhausted from training and we were about to move, when it woke up and said, 'Let him sleep.' That's it. There was no evil chakra, no murderous intent, nothing, but a simple request to let the boy sleep. So we stayed for where we were for another four hours when Naruto woke up naturally and then we continued on our way home."

"You never reported it because it's not on the boy's file," Kakashi said in an accusing tone.

Tokuma only lifted an eyebrow, cross his arms and said nothing.

"Yah," Kakashi said. "I don't think I'll be reporting this either." He looked to Zabuza and asked, "I think you should call up the mist now and then tell us how to give the enemy the impression that we're fighting."

"We train using only kunai," Zabuza explained. "We pretend to call up our elements and let them see the clash."

"You two do it," Tokuma said. "I'll train Risa."

"Haku," Zabuza called out. "Use senbon against the boy's kunai, train in forms and make it a bit flashy. Explain it to the kid." The kid in question tossed a Shuriken at the head of the missing ninja who only caught it and tossed it back. Haku caught by sticking a senbon needle up and letting the star spin before it lost its momentum.

Sasuke huffed and said, "Let's do this."

Naruto - New, Yet So Old - Naruto - New, Yet So Old

Naruto woke up to the warmth of the little fox on his neck. He petted the kit for a moment before he sat up and looked around. "Damn it," he said. "They left without me."

The blond human boy raced to get dressed, as the fox kit leapt into his stomach to get back to the cage that held his grand-father. He raced to put on his under and over suits. He made sure that he had the appropriate clothing patches that would help convert his regular wear into the articles he needed to pull off the biggest take over known to Wave Country.

Before even stepping down the stairs he heard the commotion coming from below him. The two samurai bodyguards were causing trouble for Inari's mom and for Inari. The blond stepped out of the bedroom window and witnessed the boy stand up to the thugs.

Naruto grinned, created to clones and then jumped down. He used Kawarimi quickly to get the boy's mother out of the clutches of her would be killers. "Well, done kid," he said. "You kept them occupied enough for the hero to arrive on time." He leaned in and stage whispered, "Heroes always come in the nick of time, dontcha know?"

"Nick of time," Inari asked confused.

"Yep," Naruto said. "Just in time to save your mom, see." He point to the woman that was no longer tied in ropes, as the two thugs destroyed a piece of log that had taken her place in their arms. "Hey, guys," he said to the thugs, pointing behind. "You should watch out."

"We're not falling for that," the first ugly said.

The second one replied, "We're not that stupid."

"Apparently you are," Naruto said, as his clones attacked both the men and knocked them out. "Suckers!"

"How did you know," Inari asked.

"They talked loud enough to wake the dead," Naruto told the boy. "Anyway forget about that. Look…about what I said…um…I owe you an apology."

"Why?"

"I called you a baby," the blond said rubbing the back of his head. "It's not true, okay." He put a hand on the boy's head and said, "You're a big strong boy."

The 'big strong boy' started to sniffle and then he couldn't help it. Tears fell from his eyes and he said, "Ooo, ooh, nn..no. I pp…promised myself that I wouldn't cry…nn..now you're going to make f..fun of me."

"No way," Naruto said in a serious tone. He put both hands behind his head to tug at his hair to keep his face serious and then he grinned at the boy and said, "There's nothing wrong with crying when you're happy. That's the way life is…"

Inari looked at the blond in wonder and received a genuine smile. The blond turned away from the boy to give the kid a chance to compose himself. The boy thought, 'Wow, Naruto I wish you were my big brother.'

"Now," Naruto said. "I have to get to the bridge or else my plans to free the Land of Waves will all fail. You'll be all right here now, won't you?"

The boy wiped his tears and then said, "Yeah."

"Good," Naruto said and took off, hoping that he'd get there in time to…well do a lot of things.

Naruto - New, Yet So Old - Naruto - New, Yet So Old

Naruto raced to the bridge, knowing that they shouldn't be fighting. Not really. He grinned when he finally arrived and saw who was doing what. He wanted to shout, but he pulled down his ninja goggles from his forehead and whispered, "Gyo."

The Nen Jutsu of Gyo did something similar to the Uchiha Sharingan and he was able to see through the Mist to the figures of Gato and his henchmen. They were attempting to sneak up the other end of the bridge. "Perfect," the blond whispered. "They're almost in position."

He lifted his goggles and approached Tazuna with a good sized log under his arm. "Hey old man," Naruto said. "I need you to lay down here for a moment."

The Bridge Builder shrugged his large shoulders. He watched to see what the blond ninja kid was going to do with the log, a piece of paper and the strangest ink he'd ever seen.

"I need your hand," Naruto said and grabbed the man's hand. He used a senbon needle to prick it and then let a drop of blood land on the paper.

"Ouch you brat," Tazuna said. "What was that for?"

"You'll see," the blond replied absently mindedly. He also said, "Don't try to hit me Sakura or else, I'll have to start this again and it takes concentration." Another couple of minutes and the markings on the paper were complete. "Done," he said. "Sakura take the old man home and if those two thugs are still tied up outside his door, strip them of their valuables for compensation."

"WHAT," she yelled, getting everyone's attention. "HOW DARE YOU..."

"Sakura, do as he says," Kakashi told the pink haired Kunoichi. "Guard the client and...oh," the man saw the Seal on the paper. "Now that will be interesting."

"Everything is set," Naruto told them. "Now it's only a matter of execution, which can't be done if there are two Tazuna's here," he looked at the girl that was trying to find a way to stick around.

Sakura blinked and then looked at the dummy Bridge Builder on the ground. "It's not fair," she said. "I'm a part of this team, so I should be staying."

"Sakura," Risa said. "I'm going to go with you. I can't fight right now and I'm not ready to let Akoba fight either. They are the stronger, but I also believe that there won't be that much bloodshed here."

"But...but...," Sakura protested.

Kakashi-sensei said, "Sakura, you are ordered to take Tazuna home now. Strip the thugs of their valuables and wait for us to return. Our mission is not over because we've received the go ahead from our Hokage to stay until the bridge has been built. Do you understand our mission?"

"Yes sensei," she said standing up. "Tazuna is still our client and must be protected."

"Risa," Tokuma said. "Show her how to determine the values of an enemy's spoils. That should occupy your time very well."

"Yes sensei," Risa said and followed the other two off the bridge, just as it was swallowed by a large Genjutsu spell that trapped everyone inside it. She grinned knowing some of what her blond friend was going to do. 'He's a true ninja,' she thought. 'He will be my Hokage one day.'

Naruto - New, Yet So Old - Naruto - New, Yet So Old

The men within the mist were surprised to feel the Genjutsu rise. Their perceptions were focused, but they could hear the battle sounds around them. It was kind of strange to hear their voices talking, calling out one another and the fighting.

Naruto grinned and said, "Now the story changes." He let the battles sounds get louder and signaled for Zabuza to attack the dummy to create believable wounds on the thing. "Stop," the blond said and then he activated the Seal. "Now drag him to the end and cut off his head. It will roll to the feet of your 'employer' and complete the parameters of your contract."

Zabuza was grinning evilly as he dragged a really convincing and broken Bridge Building to the edge of the Mist and then with a large yelled and a swing of his signature blade, the head fell and rolled to the feet of the short man that had the entire Wave Country under his fist for many years. The missing 'rogue' ninja strode out of the Mist and said, "You're right on time. There's the head of the builder as requested and all work on the bridge has ceased."

Gato smiled the most unfriendly smile and said, "That doesn't matter. I wasn't planning on paying you for the task. See the men behind me have been hired to take down missing ninja."

Meanwhile in the Mist, Naruto was changing his appearance, including that of Haku and Sasuke with the aid of the cloth patches. "You two are the associated to Kitsune Company Limited. If and when men begin to appear from that end of the mist, walking of their own free will, guide to that building. Tell them that the Head of the Company will be speaking to all of them soon and come back to the bridge."

"Kakashi-sensei and Tokuma-sensei you're their guard to ensure that nothing happens," Naruto said, adding patches to his own clothing. "Confiscate all weapons and scrolls from the men. Sasuke and Haku remove your ninja headbands. It's more convincing if you don't have it on." He did the same with his own and he also removed his goggles. He placed his hands in position that indicated the beginning of a series of hand signs. "You guys ready?"

The two dark-haired boys looked at each other and nodded. Kakashi and Tokuma nodded as well. The speeds of the hand signs were still too quick to catch, but at least the sequence was somewhat familiar to the two Jounin. However their reactions were worth it.

Totally jaw dropping and worth it.

The three boys grew in height. The hair lengthened, except for Haku's since it was already long enough. They clothing was altered into dark suits and ties to match their eyes.

Sasuke had a dark five o'clock shadow. His eyes were still dark blue, due to the active Henge. He had a sword strapped to his back that looked like it belonged there. His was tied at the nape of his neck, just like his blond teammates.

Naruto's eyes darkened a bit and his teeth were slightly sharper. He grinned at his senseis and said, "Show time."

He took off running through the Mist calling out, "Gato-san, Gato-san..."

"What had he been up to," Kakashi asked Tokuma.

The Hyuga grinned and said, "He'll tell you when he's ready. But let me tell you what I learned about Kitsune Company Limited..."

Naruto - New, Yet So Old - Naruto - New, Yet So Old

Gato had just finished telling the angry Zabuza that he wasn't about to pay the man and that he'd already hired others to hunt him down. "It's the perfect vicious circle," the short man said. "I hire one missing or rogue ninja to kill another of the same ilk and never have to pay."

A voice called for 'Gato-san' from the mist behind Zabuza that had the short man reacting with an involuntary flinch. This was something that his men noticed immediately.

Everyone noticed that the man was tall, blond and squared jawed, with long blond hair tied at the nape and dark blue eyes. "There you are Gato-san," the man said in a stern voice. "I've been searching for you. You have a few obligations to take care of before you spend any more money that you no longer have."

"Naoya-san," Gato said in a false cheerful voice. "I was about to obtain your money."

"We've giving you all the extensions that we were ever going to give you," Naoya said. "The Kitsune Company has been informed that the Wave Bank has called in for payment on your loans." The blond then looked at the assembled men behind Gato. "I have a list of names here, when I call you, come forth and stand next to me."

A total of seventeen names men left Gato's side. The blond man led them out of the way, as Zabuza watched everything with bored amusement. "You men currently owe either money or service to the Kitsune Company. Step that way," he pointed to the mist, heading away from Gato. "My colleagues are there to direct you to a new location to re-negotiate terms with the Head of the Company. Those that don't want that option can return to Gato's side and face the consequences with him."

Eleven walked away from Gato and only six returned to the side of the man they believed had the stronger position in the Land of Waves. They were mistaken. "Idiots," Naoya said. "Well, now..." he looked at the missing ninja and said, "Zabuza was it?"

"Yes," the man answered warily.

"Has your contract to this idiot been fulfilled," Naoya asked.

"Yes," the rogue Mist ninja said.

"Kill them all," Naoya said. "Kill all of those men, including Gato."

"Now wait a minute, Naoya-san," Gato protested. "You can't be serious. What about the money I owe?"

"Your assets are inaccessible, you have no money and you can't pay anything back," the blond man replied. "As per the terms of the multiple loans you've signed for, you failed and therefore, as agreed your life is forfeit, including any that are currently following you."

"My pleasure," Zabuza said and bathed the unfinished end of the bridge in the blood of the men that had followed Gato.

Gato was trussed up to watch the outcome of his failure. The blond man then leaned over and plucked a piece paper off the head of the Tazuna the Bridge Builder to reveal a wood stump. The short man screamed, "YOU LYING CHEAT! HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HANDED ME HIS HEAD."

"Actually," Zabuza said. "You only asked for his head. There was never any mention that the man had to be dead. You on the other hand...do have to die." He swung his sword and this time it did take a human's head, cutting off the scream that the sight of the overly large sword coming forward. "I feel much better. So Naoya-san...is it?"

Naoya called forth a large wave to wash the end of the bridge and removed all bodies and body parts. It was a strange elemental spell that pulled everything out to the sea, but in reality most of the bodies were following the current and were headed to Kiri, Land of Mists.

"Zabuza," Naoya said. "I have a few things to take care of. Perhaps you'd like to stick around for a few days while everything gets sorted."

Zabuza shrugged and dissipated the mist that was no longer needed. At the other end of the bridge he noticed, four men standing there and waiting. Two were Jounin and two were in suits. "You came prepared," he said. "Where's Haku?"

"Look closer," Naoya said. "If you'll excuse me, I need to see to those eleven that turned from Gato." He headed to the building and was followed by the two Jounin and one of the men in a suit. "Just remove the patches to revert," Naoya said.

"What is Naoya-san talking about," Zabuza said to the last man there. He watched in fascination as patch by patch was removed. "Haku...now that is an interesting development, so those two were..."

"The Genin," Haku nodded and then explained how the patches worked.

Meanwhile, the man who called himself Naoya, presented himself to the eleven men that had walked away from Gato. "Congratulations gentlemen. You were the smart ones," he said. "My name is Naoya Kitsune, the owner and Head of Kitsune Company Limited. For years I've tried to lift the darkness that was Gato out of this land and fought to keep the shipping and ports fees reasonable."

He paused to look at their reactions and then continued, "Today I've finally succeeded and yet with you eleven there is something that feels an awful lot, like loose ends here. You all have debts with my banks and with some of my men. You need to pay, only this time you'll be paying in service." Zabuza and Haku came in then. "These two will be my 'Enforcers' in this Land and Country. They will ensure that you follow the parameters of you contractual bonds or else ensure that you are properly disposed of, as per the terms of our agreement. Now go home you idiots and feed what family you have."

The eleven men quickly left, while Kakashi and Tokuma watched as the patches were removed from the two Konoha Genin. Sasuke couldn't help it and said, "That was so fun."

That comment caused the others to laugh and nod in agreement.

"It was," Tokuma said. "I'm going to go collect Risa so that we may continue to take care of our commissions. We'll be back in time to train with them and guard the builders as they finish the bridge."

"So you'll teach us to hide," Haku asked. "In exchange for..."

"Senbon lessons," Sasuke said eagerly. "Or Kenjutsu..."

Naruto looked at Zabuza and said, "Personally, I'd prefer learning Kenjutsu."

"Deal," the missing nin said. "Only until the bridge is finished being built and we'll get that Kunoichi of yours trained too."

"Deal," Kakashi, Sasuke and Naruto all said at the same time.

Haku giggled behind his hand and Zabuza looked amused at the thought that these guys were having a hard time training a single pink-haired girl.
