New chapter! I own nothing but the tale!

Chapter 4: Two Demons Meet

I was running, where was unknown. All I know that I was escaping from something, someone giving chase as I ran through what looked like the forest outside of the Konohagakure village. I tried to turn around, but my neck was as stiff as a board. I couldn't turn around, couldn't stop. My legs just continued running, even though my body was tired out. As I continued running, someone was finally in my range of view ahead of me. This person was not anyone I recognized, someone that was completely a mystery to me. I continued running as the person drew a kunai from within their jacket, preparing it as I continued towards them. Without any movement within my body besides my legs, I was cut in the throat by the kunai, choking on blood as it drained from my body. I looked up at the person as my vision went hazy, the person standing with a smile upon his or her face. I faded from the scene, waking up within my bed. I looked around the room, my body drenched in sweat as I sat up within the bed. I stood up and pulled the curtains, sunlight bathing the room in its sweet light. I sighed as the dream began to slowly fade away, becoming nothing but a memory. As I walked from the window, I opened my front door, inhaling in the sweet air as I stuck my face outside the door. As I did this, it seemed that something had the small village in more of a tizzy then usual. As I stepped outside my house, I stopped one of the regulars that came to the shop as I spotted him running down the street. After stopping him and speaking to him for a minute, he explained to me that Gato was down at the bridge, making an example of Tazuna and his entire family. It seemed that the shinobi that were designated to protect him, the injured Kakashi, the injured Sasuke, the dead Ino, and the still kicking Sakura had abandoned their mission and returned to Konohagakure, leaving Tazuna's family at Gato's mercy. He was apparently gathering all of the citizens to the bridge so they could all witness Tazuna's execution. Now, usually I would be all for seeing a person get executed, but to execute someone that I planned on killing? That left me with nothing to do this entire day! So, of course I decided to occupy myself by going down to the bridge and putting on my own one man show. I was going to slaughter Gato, then his gang, his hired muscle, and then I would slaughter Tazuna's family to top it off. I knew that this would get my street cred up, and besides, I didn't even get to use the Sharingan in battle yet. So this seemed like a perfect time to experiment and blow time before I left the village. After I left the village, I had to make contact with my two contacts anyway, so this would be the perfect time waster until then. I returned back into my hut, retrieving all of my carry on items and placing them in my sheep skin bag. I then pulled on some fresh clothes and headed out the door. Dressed in my all black cloak that covered my face from view and my normal red and black shirt with with my black sandals, I headed to the bridge. The first thing I saw was Tazuna himself strapped against the bridge, Gato and his two samurai were standing next to him with sick grins on both of their faces. Another two people stood behind them, one a man wearing a black shirt with the sleeves cut off, a huge sword sheathed upon his back. The other was a woman, wearing an Anbu mask upon her face. I snickered as I pushed through the crowd, making my way to the front so I could see this.

"This man and his family has committed acts of treason against me and this entire land!" Gato shouted as he pointed at Tazuna, who seemed to be more worried about Tsunami and Inari, who were tied up and sitting next to him.

"This is the price for defying my law!" Gato continued as he snapped his fingers, his two samurai stepping forth and unsheathing their swords that were at their waist. They both held each of their swords at Tazuna's neck, Tazuna looking up with fear in his eyes.

"Hmm, I've seen enough of this foolishness," I muttered loudly as Gato looked around the area, wondering who said those words.

"Excuse me?" Gato asked as he scanned the crowd. "Who said those words in my presence? Would you like to come up here and join this man in his execution?"

"Wouldn't matter," I replied as I looked up at Gato, his eyes looking at my cloaked face. "You and your men couldn't kill the likes of me anyway. But since you gave me the invitation..." I body flickered next to Gato, the two swordsman removing their swords from Tazuna's neck and now focused their attention on me.

"So, this kid has decided to die has he?" one of the swordsman asked with a grin upon his face. "Well, let me tell you who we are, hopefully it will haunt you while you contemplate your decision in the afterlife. I am Zouri, and this is Waraji," I chuckled at this, my hands beginning to glow of Master's chakra.

"Well, at least you told me your names," I responded as the two samurai snickered. "Now everyone knows what to put on your gravestone when they are burying your lifeless corpses..."

With that, I watched as both swordsman readied their blades, both Zouri and Waraji swinging their swords at me with lightning like speed. I body flickered behind them and stuck both of my hands into their backs like daggers, my hands coming out of their chest. The two swordsman both began to cough up tremendous amounts of blood before they fell to the ground, their limp bodies leaking blood as they were the first within the body count. A wicked grin crossed my face as I wiped the blood off my hands on my pants, Gato backing away as he seen this display of raw power. He looked back at the man and the woman behind him, who were watching as if this wasn't the first time they witnessed something of this magnitude.

"Zabuza, execute this boy now!" Gato ordered as the man called Zabuza sighed, placing his hand upon the heel of the sword on his back.

"I'm sick of cleaning up your messes," Zabuza muttered as Gato growled with anger. "But this is all on your pay, so why not live it up? OK Haku, let's go." The girl nodded, following Zabuza as he walked and stood before me.

"Zabuza Momochi huh?" I asked as Zabuza snickered loudly.

"So you have heard of my exploits child?" Zabuza asked as I chuckled softly.

"You are pretty good, I was warned about you by one of my contacts," I responded as Zabuza snickered again. "She told me that if I continued on my path, I would eventually run into you..."

"So you are telling me that you are actually worth my time?" Zabuza asked as I remained silent. "What's wrong little mouse? Is you tail caught between your legs now?"

"I'll give you one last chance to escape since me and you aren't very different," I replied quietly as I thought about what my contact had told me about him. "I actually admire what you did, it's quite inspiring to know that I'm not the only crazy mother fucker out in this world. But, I will only offer this once. If you decline, I'm going to murder you and your assistant their will minimal ease. Your choice..." Zabuza didn't answer at first, looking away as Haku looked at him. Without any warning, Zabuza unsheathed his blade and swung the giant sword at my face, the wind from the attack blowing the hood away from my face. The crowd gasped as I was shown, Zabuza looking at me skeptically as he studied my face.

"Naruto Uzumaki, the only child that could speak such words and actually be able to back them up," Zabuza muttered as Haku gasped out loud. "Well, you are right about one thing. Me and you would have eventually met up, you were actually one of my jobs that I hadn't taken yet. It seems you have made quite a few enemies within this small world for such a young boy. Well, even though it wasn't the original plan, I guess I will have to kill you NOW!" With this, Zabuza rushed at me and began to swing his sword expertly, not sloppy like the previous samurai. He swung it accurately, knowing that I could only dodge this attack, not giving me enough time to whip anything up to counter it. I grinned as I knew this was going to be fun. I jumped back after dodging, making hand signs as Zabuza did the same.

"Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu (Fire Style: Dragon Fire Skill)!" I shouted as I shot a ball of fire shaped as a dragon from out of my mouth, as Zabuza used his jutsu.

"Suiton Suiryuudan no Jutsu (Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu)!" Zabuza shouted as a stream of water that was also shaped as a dragon from near the water that was under the bridge. The two dragons clashed violently, my fire attack getting canceled out by the water style jutsu. The after effect was the area getting shrouded in smoke, the smoke sifting through the air mysteriously.

"Kirigakure no Jutsu(Hidden in the Mist Jutsu)," Zabuza whispered as the smoke turned into fog, the grin on my face growing as I prepared to use my secret.

"Sharingan!" I shouted as Zabuza chuckled, thinking that their was no way that I could have such an technique. But little did he know that I had casted a genjutsu upon him as he connected with my eyes after his sword blew my hood from my face. This made it so I looked as if my eyes were blue like they used to be. This was funny to me, knowing that this ignorant fool couldn't even tell that he was under the most simple and grade school of all genjutsu. Funny thing was that I wasn't very good at genjutsu either, so I was hoping that the Sharingan would increase my abilities in that department. I could see Zabuza clear as day as he walked around the smoke quietly, preparing to strike me when I was supposedly off my guard. He crept behind me as I looked to the side without turning my head, a smile creeping upon my face. Zabuza took a mighty swing as I ducked in response, looking back at Zabuza as he looked back into my eyes. I canceled the genjutsu, allowing Zabuza to see what I truly looked like. My eyes were revealed to him, his hands almost dropping his sword as he looked into my eyes.

"That can't be possible that you could have such eyes!" Zabuza exclaimed as I chuckled. "You aren't an Uchiha, but how are you using Fire Style type jutsu? This isn't adding up at all..." I body flickered behind Zabuza as a bead of sweat went down his forehead.

"I'll tell you my secret if you want to hear it," I whispered as I placed one hand upon his back. Zabuza looked in fear as he tried to turn around and swing his sword, but I had different plans. Using concentrated chakra, I blew a hole within Zabuza's back, the chakra so vile and strong, Zabuza standing no chance with my hand on his back. He fell to his knees quickly as I walked in front of him, looking at the fallen psychopath.

"I defeated Kakashi Hatake and stole his Sharingan from him," I told Zabuza as he looked up at me with the wraps around his mouth turning the color of blood. He unwrapped them as he coughed up more blood onto the ground. Haku watched from the sidelines in horror, taking off her mask as she ran up to Zabuza.

"Zabuza, this cannot be!" Haku shouted as she looked at Zabuza with shock on her face. "Tell me that you are going to make it!"

"Haku, I want you to go with this boy," Zabuza choked out as more blood dripped from his mouth. "It may seem unorthodox at this time, but I tell you this for a reason. The reason you exist will be found if you travel with him, because you both also have similar looks in your eyes. Never walk from you path Naruto Uzumaki. Never..." With these words, Zabuza died, his eyes rolling into the back of his head as Gato began to make noises behind me. I looked at Haku, who was looking at me with utter loathing in her eyes.

"Even though I do not understand the reason Zabuza wants me to go with you, I will accept his final wishes," Haku stated as I chuckled softly.

"He didn't want me to kill you, but that might not matter," I replied as I turned to Gato. "Now, you were saying before?" Gato didn't say a word as he backed away from me, me advancing the more he backed up. As I prepared to kill Gato, I was interrupted by Haku, who chucked something that looked like ice at Gato's head, the ice piercing his forehead as he dropped to the ground dead. I turned in surprise, Haku looking down at Gato's body with a smile.

"Zabuza never liked him," Haku muttered as she replaced her mask upon her face, looking away from me as I looked at her.

"So you steal my fucking kill because some dead asshole didn't like somebody!" I shouted as my fist clenched to my side, preparing to strike the girl. But then they unclenched, a grin forming upon my face.

"Not bad at all girl," I said as I picked up Zabuza's sword, placing it upon my back. It covered my entire back, barely even big enough to carry.

"You are taking Zabuza's sword?" Haku asked as she spotted me doing this. "You deserve it for killing such a powerful opponent... even though I want to drive a spike into your skull..." I snickered as I looked over at Tazuna in his family, wondering if I should finish my job. But as I looked back at the dead bodies of Zabuza and the two samurai, I was surprisingly content. So, I decided to leave the village there, leaving my legacy forever on this land. Haku followed as well, going by Zabuza's dying words. I guess it wasn't bad to have someone tag along with me, especially a female. Cause with just me and Master, it was becoming a real sausage fest to be honest. I continued on my path, the path that would eventually be the death of me, or will create a legend...
