Yo peeps, GMG here with chapter 2 of SMFD. As you can see NaruHaku right off the bat. I apologize if that was to fast for any of you. I had wanted Naruto to have at least one person there for him in chapter one. Now comes the issue of killing the pink banshee. Yes, she will die. By her own hand with only a little 'help' from Haku. Also, as one of my reviews had brought it up, there will be flashbacks... in the form of nightmares and those come later. Now onward into the Land of Wave.

Disclaimer: Do I look Japanese to you idiots?

Tazuna's Incomplete Bridge:

Kakashi walked over to check up on his students. He hoped they weren't too bad off. It wouldn't surprise him if Naruto had somehow befriended Zabuza's assistant. As the mist dissipated, his jaw dropped. Damn, the blonde had actually done it. But something was off, he noticed. His sharingan locked onto Sakura, who was pulling out a kunai discreetly. Her teammates hadn't noticed nor did Haku. Damn, he was too drained to stop her in time and could only watch in horror as she turned and tried to stab Naruto.

"NARUTO-BAKA! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!," she screeched, swinging the knife at Naruto.

What happened next was in slow motion. Kakashi watched as Haku pulled Naruto behind her and held a senbon out towards Sakura. The senbon was pointed towards the pinkette and was held at forehead level. Sakura didn't notice the tiny needle in her blind rage and charged at Haku. Closing in, she pulled back in preparation to strike the Hyoton user but something stopped her cold. Sakura stared at Haku, green eyes full of confusion, before she collapsed, a senbon sticking out of her forehead. She had literally walked into it. Kakashi almost face-planted at the late pinkette's idiocy.

Kakashi sighed in relief that it was over, but the sound of clapping interrupted his relief. The four who were still alive, turned to see Gato and an army of thugs. The diminutive magnate clapping in amusement.

"Kill them," he ordered his thugs, "and bring me the girl. She'll be able to provide us some entertainment."

Gato had, unknowingly, made a major mistake. He had threatened his newest and only precious person. He lifted his hands into his iconic hand sign, unleashing his signature technique.

"Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu"(The art of multiple shadow dopplegangers. The truth is that the english dub isn't the true translation)

The bridge was flooded by over 200 clones, all glaring at Gato and his army. Without hesitation, all the clones rushed forward, tearing into the thugs. The following slaughter only lasted a few minutes before the original Naruto stood over Gato, a kunai in hand.

"Gato," he said, "you threatened the only thing in my life that is precious not even an hour after finding her. For that, and your crimes against Wave, you will die."

He didn't give Gato a chance to speak as he buried the kunai in the bastards in head. His anger spent, he collapsed to the ground, exhaustion sending him into unconsciousness.

Haku rushed over, ignoring the corpses of the thugs, as she ran to where Naruto lay on the bridge. Dropping to her knees beside him, she cradled his head in her lap, happy that he was alive.

Tazuna's House, Later that night:

Dream:

A younger Naruto ran down the street, his bare feet slapping against the ground as he tried to escape the mob. It was his birthday yet they chased him like some wild animal. He used all of his energy to try and run faster, hoping he could lose them. What he didn't expect, was a kunai lodging itself in his leg, causing him to hit the ground. He struggled to crawl away but the mob caught him. They dragged him into an alley and began beating him. After the beatings ceased and the villagers left, Uzumaki Naruto wondered what he had done wrong to garner such hatred.

Rain fell from the sky, his tears mixing with the droplets that fell on his face. It was as if Kami herself was crying over the hatred this child received. He lay there, his whole body aching in pain and covered in blood, until a figure walked up to him. She wore a tan trench coat and had purple hair. He couldn't see much else of her, his eyesight fuzzy from crying. The woman picked him up and began walking to the Hokage's Tower. The dream faded as he awoke.

End Dream.

Naruto awoke inside of his room in Tazuna's house. Looking outside, he noticed that it was raining like in his dream.

He felt movement and looked down to see Haku cuddled up next to him, nuzzling her head into his chest. Her dark hair framing her pale face in a beautiful clash of dark and light. Naruto stared at ethereal beauty, entranced by it. He watched the rise and fall of her chest, the rhythmic movement lulling him back into dreamland.

Morning:

Naruto woke up to Haku shaking his shoulder, just like when they had met in the clearing. He smiled at the memory of their talk of precious people and the strength that came with protecting them. He had found his first truly precious person in Haku. She had gone through a similair pain, even if on a smaller scale. Sitting up, he pulled Haku up with him, the girl yelping in surprise before Naruto silenced her with a kiss. She closed her eyes and returned the kiss, her hands snaking behind Naruto, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss. They broke apart smiling at each other before exiting the room and heading downstairs to the kitchen, their hands clasped together firmly, fingers intertwined.

Reaching the kitchen, the two of them noticed Kakashi sitting at the table, reading his iconic orange novel. He glanced up from the book and noticed their joint hands, but he said nothing and went back to reading his book. The two sat down together and Tsunami set breakfast before them. Thanking her, they looked at the food before digging in.

The Great Naruto Bridge:

Team 7, now featuring Haku in place of Sakura, said their goodbyes before setting off to Konoha. The report was going to be a pain.

Chapter End.

Thanks for reading, I'll try and get the next chapter out soon but remember, I will require reviews. GMG, Signing off!
