Chapter 2: Haku's New Adventure Begins

"What?! You want to rebuild a Hidden Village, from scratch?! Just the two of us?! Are you crazy?!" Haku asked, shocked by what Naruto's plan is.

"Yes, but not entirely. Not really. And, no. Heheh." Naruto answered, making a fire pit.

Taking a moment to process what Naruto said, Haku realized what he meant. "Stop being a smart-ass, Naruto. This is serious." Said Haku.

"I know. So am I." Naruto replied, with a smile on his face.

Haku couldn't believe it. Naruto was dead set on rebuilding a Hidden Village, that had already been destroyed. "How do you plan on doing this? The Hidden Whirlpool was already destroyed once. How do you expect that not to happen again?" Haku asked.

"Don't know yet. If we can find out what their security was like, we can make improvements." Naruto answered, putting a pot of water on the fire.

"How?"

"There's probably something here in the ruins. Once we find them and come up with some improvements, and get a list of people that might've escaped the village alive. Once that's done, we'll contact someone who can find them. Hopefully, they can help us rebuild the village." Naruto explained.

"Who can we ask for help?" Haku asked.

"Jiraiya, of the Sannin. He's got a spy network." Naruto answered. Seeing Haku about to ask a question, Naruto decided to beat him to the punch. "I was his apprentice. I'm also his Godson, that's why he'll help us."

Haku couldn't believe it. He heard about the Sannin from Zabuza. About how they were Kage-level ninja, and that they should should be avoided. If you're a rogue, anyway. But not only did he know someone who's an apprentice, but also their Godson. And he was going to help this person rebuild a once destroyed Hidden Village. "You're kidding. Right?"

"Nope."

*Sigh* "Why exactly do you need my help then?"

"There's a group called Akatsuki, that's after me. If I didn't have someone strong helping me out, Jiraiya and Hinata would worry too much about me." Naruto replied.

"Who's Hinata?"

"My girlfriend."

"Oh. Is she the one..." Haku began.

"No. You'll meet her when we go see Jiraiya." Naruto interrupted.

"How do you know that?" Haku asked.

"I asked Jiraiya to make her his new apprentice, after I left the village. Right now, I can sense that they're not in the village. So, Jiraiya took Hinata on a training journey. That's my guess, anyway." Naruto answered.

"How do you know this?"

"I'll explain later. What about you? What did you do after you left, to fulfill Zabuza's goal?" Naruto asked, pouring the hot water into the ramen cups.

With that, Haku began to explain his story.

-Flashback-

It's been a week since Haku had left the Land of Waves. He was currently in the Land of Water, wondering the countryside for the rebellion. As he was walking, he was suddenly attacked by multiple kunai and shuriken. Dodging them, Haku pulled out his senbon. Throwing them, he managed to down three of them.

"You bastard!" Yelled one of the men.

"You shouldn't have attacked, without a proper reason." Haku replied, readying more senbon.

Haku had four men and a woman in front of him. He eyed them carefully, reading for signs of an attack. One of them decided to ask a question. "Are you friend or foe?"

"Hard to say. You attacked me, remember? However, if any of you have a Kekkei Genkai, then I'm a friend. If not, then I'm a foe." Haku replied, keeping a level head.

"What's your Kekkei Genkai?" Asked the woman.

"Ice Style." Haku answered, not taking his eyes of the men.

"Prove it, scum!" Yelled the same man who asked the question earlier.

Stomping on the ground, Haku created a few ice spears from the cold moist air. "Is that proof enough?" Haku asked.

"Let him be." Ordered the woman.

"But, he killed our men. He can't possibly be an ally, even though he has a Kekkei Genkai." Said another man.

"They're not dead. I don't really like killing, and I avoid it when possible. I usually tend to place them in a temporary death like state, like I've done with your friends here. Give them a few minutes, and they'll wake up. However, it will take days even a week or so, before they have the strength to even walk." Haku explained, placing his kunai in his weapons pouch.

A few moments later, and the fallen men a woken up. And as Haku said, they were seriously weakened. "Seems Haku was right. He's coming with us. He'll be speaking with Lady Mei." Said the woman, before she started ordering the others to carry the wounded.

As they were walking to who knows where, Haku decided to get to know the woman in charge of the group. "Excuse me, miss?" Haku asked.

"Yes, what is it?" The woman replied, without looking at Haku.

"I was just wondering, who you were. This Lady Mei, must believe your quite capable to place you in charge."

"I was a Kunoichi of the Hidden Sand, before they betrayed me and sent me to the Mist Village to die. If it weren't for Lady Mei, I'd be dead. The name's Pakura by the way. What's your's?" Asked the woman, known as Pakura.

"My name's Haku. I traveled with Zabuza, before he died. We made an attempt on the 4th Mizukage, a while back." Said Haku.

"You might want to save you story for Lady Mei. We're almost at our camp." Said Pakura.

"Right. Sorry." Haku replied.

-Mei's tent-

"Lady Mei. Pardon the interruption, but I believe we may have another one for our cause." Stated Pakura, after she entered the tent.

Looking up, Mei asked. "And what makes you think that they're of any help, or if they're even trust worthy?"

"He has a Kekkei Genkai, and was apart of an assasination plot against the 4th Mizukage with a man with named Zabuza." Pakura answered.

"Zabuza? Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Mist?" Mei asked, with some surprise in her voice.

"I believe so. Should I sent him in?" Pakura asked.

"Yes, I'll see him."

A moment later Haku came into the tent, without Pakura. Looking at Haku closely, Mei began. "What's you name, and what's your Kekkei Genkai?"

"Haku, I don't know my last name. My Kekkei Genkai is the Ice Style." Haku replied.

"I see. That's the Kekkei Genkai of the Yuki Clan. Why're you here on the Land of Water?" Mei asked.

"Zabuza died about a week ago. I wanted to die as well. But, a friend taked me into continuing his goal of disposing of the 4th Mizukage and ending the 'Bloodline Purge'." Haku answered.

"I knew Zabuza when we were younger, back when we were Chunnin. He was quite ruthless, to say the least." Said Mei.

"People can change over time. I assure you, he was still ruthless. Even up to his final breath. But, it was Zabuza who saved me. He trained me and taught me the ways of the shinobi."

"I see. How good are you in combat?"

"I took out 3/5 of Pakura's group without killing them, by placing them in a temporary death-like state. Although, it'll take a while before they can even walk." Haku replied.

"That's a Mist Village Tracker skill, I wasn't aware he knew of it. Then again, he was in the Mist's ANBU." Said Mei, as she closed her eyes to think. "You said a friend talked you into fullfilling Zabuza's goal. Who is this friend?" Mei asked.

"He's a Leaf ninja, his name is Naruto. A student of Kakashi Hatake, the one who delt the killing blow to Zabuza. It was Naruto who kept me from taking the blow for Zabuza. He doesn't look like much, but he's very strong." Haku answered.

"Stronger than you? Heheh." Mei asked, sarcastically.

"Actually, yes. He's much stronger than he looks." Said Haku, wiping the smile off Mei's face.

"You're kidding?" Mei asked, surprise returning in her voice.

"No ma'am. He's somehow capable of incredible speed. I don't know how, but the point is that he is strong." Said Haku.

Thinking about what Haku said, Mei began to think some more. After a few moment, Mei opened her eyes and said. "Very well. We'll send you on a mission with Pakura. We'll see if you're as capable as you've made yourself out to be."

"Very well. Thank you, Lady Mei." Said Haku, bowing to the woman.

Mei then ordered someone to take Haku to tent, that he could use for the time being.

Well, that's it. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you and please review.

P.s. I'm still taking ideas for Summonings. If you want, you can give Haku a one as well. As long as it's different from Naruto's. Thank you, please review.
