Chapter Start
'AH!' Naruto thought as he, team 7, and Tazuna walked through the forest, 'I've never felt so ALIVE!'
That's because you're in the forest now, kit. Foxes have always felt most at home in the forest, and seeing that technically you are one, you have those feelings too. Replied the Kyuubi from inside Naruto's mind. Also I should let you know this as well. As you are, basically, a half fox, your sense of hearing and smell will be increased, as well as your sight. Bet you didn't think being a were-beast had such benefits did ya, kit? HAHAHA!
'Guess not.' replied Naruto to the fox. 'wait a minute, why are there puddles on the ground, it hasn't rained in at least a month?
(POV change: Kakashi)
As the group progressed, Kakashi couldn't help but notice the puddles on the ground that Naruto had noticed.
'Puddles?' Kakashi thought, 'and it hasn't rained since last month…" Kakashi looked over at Naruto. 'Looks like he's figured it out too…'
(POV Change: Naruto)
Naruto suddenly saw Kakashi being tackled and chained to a nearby tree by two malicious looking people.
"Kakashi-sensei!" yelled Sakura
"Well, Meizu", said one of the two men, "now that the jonin's taken down, we should no problem taking these genin "
"Gozu, you know our orders!" proclaimed the men known as Meizu "the Bridge Builder is our target!"
"That may be true, brother" Said Gozu, "but that doesn't mean we cant kill these others, too. Though I think I'll take the redhead to be my slave. I mean she looks like a liv-"
WHAM
Gozu was then interrupted by Naruto in Were-fox mode slamming his fist into Gozu's face, effectively silencing the bastard.
That's what you get, worm, when you talk about my loved ones in such a manner! Naruto yelled.
"Naruto, just what kind of freak are you?" Sasuke asked.
The kind that'll rip you a new one if you don't SHUT THE FUCK UP! Spat Naruto, venom dripping off of every word.
As Miezu watched, he suddenly found himself being attacked by none other than Kakashi, who had escaped the brothers' trap.
"So then, you wanna explain who you are and what exactly you're doing?" asked Kakashi.)
(Timeskip no jutsu)
"Did you get anything from him Kakashi-sensei?" asked Karui.
"First off", Kakashi said, "the people who attacked us are the Demon Brothers, nuke-nin from Kirigakure. And apparently they were here to eliminate Tazuna here. Is there anything you're not telling us, Tazuna? You do realize that a mission involving nuke-nins should be at least classified as a B-Rank mission."
"I'm sorry", Tazuna sadly said, "but…the land of waves is filled with poverty, not even the nobles have money. I just didn't have enough for a B-Rank mission. We used to be a happy village, until a very short man that casts a very large shadow appeared."
"A short man that casts a large shadow?" Karui asked.
"Yes", Tazuna replied, "a business tycoon named Gato took over with his money and connections."
"Gato?" Kakashi asked, "as in Gato's Shipping?"
"Correct", Tazuna said , "he's the owner of a shipping and distributing company from the land of waves."
"What's he after?" Naruto asked interested.
"He's an evil man who distributes drugs and other contraband through our village, and he kills anyone who would stand up against him." Tazuna said "That's why I NEED to get to the land of waves and finish the bridge I'm building, because he controls the waters around the land, and if we can bypass that we won't be forced o go through Gato anymore, for trade and work form other countries."
"Well... normally we should report back and tell this to the Hokage of what just happened." Kakashi said.
"I understand... but, they'll kill me before I even get home. Please I'm begging you." Tazuna said looking desperate.
"Well why not, we'll stay and protect you for the time it takes you to build the bridge." Kakashi said giving into defeat, and his own kindness, even though he knew Chunin wouldn't becoming the next time.
"Thank you" Tazuna said, with a bow "I don't care about my own life, as long as I live to finish that bridge"
"Well then what are we waiting for?" Naruto exclaimed "Let's get this show on the road already!"
(timeskip no jutsu)
As Naruto and company were walking, Naruto couldn't help but notice that something was wrong.
'That stench in the air…it smells a lot like blood…with a taste of killing intent.'
Suddenly, Naruto sensing something in the bushes, pulled out a kunai and threw it at said bush.
Everyone jumped back ready to fight when out came…a snow white rabbit.
"Oops." Naruto said, causing everyone, minus Kakashi, to facepalm.
"Wait to go, dobe", Sasuke arrogantly said, "you managed to scare a rabbit."
"Shut up, teme!" Naruto spat, "there was something in the bushes, and it sure as hell wasn't a rabbit!"
Kakashi stared cautiously at the white rabbit he held "This is a snow rabbit, and its fur is bright white, which should only happen in winter time where the days are shorter... which can only mean this rabbit was bred indoors... for a replacement jutsu... Naruto WAS on to something" he thought
Little did anyone know, someone sat in the tree's totally hidden, watching them, before disappearing.
"Everybody down!" Kakashi yelled as a gigantic sword spinning through the air like a shuriken. Everyone but Kakashi had to dive to the side to avoid the sword of spinning DOOM, which then after lodged itself into the side of a tree.
"That is one seriously badass sword." Naruto said.
"Why thank you I just had it polished." A voice says.
Everyone looks and finds a man wearing brown and white camouflage pants, and arm covers, a mist village head band, and white clothe wrapped around his mouth and nose, who was standing on the handle of the huge sword.
"Whoa" Karui said.
"Zabuza Momochi, Demon of the Hidden Mist and holder of the Executioner's Blade…" Kakashi said
"Well, isn't it my lucky day. Kakashi Hatake of the Sharingan himself." Zabuza replied.
'Wait, Sharingan?' Sasuke thought, 'Kakashi-sensei has it?!'
"If you're my opponent", Kakashi said, "I guess I'll have to use it then." Kakashi then pulled up his headband, revealing a scarred eye underneath, which opened revealing the Sharingan!
'No way, Kakashi-sensei…' thought Sasuke.
'And I thought only the Uchihas had that ocular jutsu', though Sakura.
Both Zabuza and Kakashi charged at each other, Zabuza using his Executioner's Blade and Kakashi fending him off with a kunai. Unfortunately for Kakashi, he suddenly found himself slammed up against the tree by Zabuza's Water Dragon Jutsu
"Is that all you had then, Kakashi?" Zabuza said appearing over Kakashi raising his sword, "GO ON AND DISSAPEAR THEN!" and attacked with The Executioner's Blade, intent on slicing Kakashi in half-
-only to be blocked by Naruto wielding the Kiba Blades.
"Haven't seen those swords in a while", Zabuza said amused. "The Kiba Blades, how did you get them?"
"I got them from my father, Minato Namikaze." Stated Naruto.
"Hehehe…so you're the brat of the man who beat Ameyuri Ringo, huh? I'm guessing you're pretty good at those by now right?" Zabuza said backing off, never taking his eyes off Naruto
"I may not be a master at them yet…" Naruto said, shifting into his Were-fox form, But I've still got enough fight in me to beat you, Zabuza Momochi!
"Looks like Konoha's got a demon as well…all right then brat, come at me with everything you've got!" and with that both Ninja charged at each other.
'Naruto-kun, be careful…' Karui thought.
About 10 minutes into the battle, neither ninja seemed likely to give in. While Zabuza seemed to have the advantage of strength on his side, Naruto easily had the advantage of speed.
'This kid…he's actually giving me a run for my money here…' Zabuza thought.
Finally, Zabuza, seeing an opening, sliced through Naruto's torso-
-only to find that it was a shadow clone. "WHAT?!" Zabuza exclaimed.
Well, Zabuza, it's been fun but it's time to end this fight! Naruto said from behind him, holding a ball of swirling chakra, and slammed the ball into Zabuza's back.
"RASENGAN!"
Zabuza, who took the whole of the jutsu, found himself blown right into a nea"rby tree.
Naruto, rushing over to finish him off, stopped when he heard a wistling sound, and found 2 senbon needles in Zabuza's neck.
"Who's there?" Kakashi asked, finally recovered from Zabuza's attack.
Suddenly, a figure wearing a Kiri hunter nin mask appeared. "Thank you for helping me subdue Zabuza, I had been hunting him for a while now." The masked-nin said. "I'll be taking his body back to base, now."
'Wait a minute, Hunter nin search bodies for their secrets right when they kill they're target…and where those senbon are stuck…HE'S WITH ZABUZA!', thought Kakashi. "WAIT!" he yelled as the hunter-nin vanished in the mist along with Zabuza.
Kakashi then slumped to the ground, obviously not fully recovered from Zabuza's attack. 'Damn, looks like that attack did more damage than I thought!'
"Kakashi-sensei!" Karui and Sakura yelled.
"He doesn't look so good." Naruto said.
"We'll take him to my place so he can rest up." Tazuna said. "Come on, it's only a few miles from here!"
And so Naruto and co., with a badly beaten Kakashi in tow, headed for Tazuna's house.
'Hang, in there, Kakashi-sensei' Naruto thought
Chapter End
AN: ok before anyone says anything, lets just assume Naruto was taught the Rasengan by his father and Jaraiya before the events of this story. Hope everyone likes this chapter and the next one!
