Flashback arc
Tidal wave
Nami no Kuni
Tazuna's house...
Uchiha Satsuki carried her unconscious teammate. She was simply livid at how he took many hits for her. Team ten fortunately were quite and so was Tazuna the bridge builder. Her sensei had passed out... Great!
As they walked, she noticed how frail and innocent Naruto looked. He was still an inch shorter than her,but still..
She also noticed that if she was a civilian, she wouldn't be able to pick him up this easily. She was kind of using her chakra to augment her physical strength. Speaking of strength...
'I swear that power he have terrify me. At least my Sharingan matured...'
Yes. When she saw him slashed diagonally by Zabuza her Sharingan matured. She remembered how it happened...
Flashback no jutsu...
Satsuki was scared by the mist. She activated her Sharingan to no avail. While she have two tomoe on each eye, that acursed mist did it's job perfectly. Her danger senses screamed at her to jump back. However it was too late...
"Got you!"
Zabuza smirked as he tried to slash her. However, he slashed a masked boy. Satsuki yelled in absolute horror...
"NARU!"
The boy fell backward for a second. She saw everything even slower. As she was about to jump at the nuke nin in a fit of rage, an orange chakra cloak with two tails shrouded him. Then all hell broke loose...
"RAAAAAWR!"
The boy she saw as her truest of friends punched the nuke nin with enough force to generate a shockwave that dissipated the mist. The now feral Uzumaki unleashed a barrage of strikes at Zabuza who almost lost a few chuncks of his flesh. Until he jumped backward and his hand blurred through handseals...
"Suiton : Suiryudan no jutsu!" (water dragon missile)
Two voices said at the same time as her sensei coppied and used the same jutsu. Zabuza sped again only this time he was slower. Kakashi said a scant second before him...
"Suiton : Daibakufu no jutsu!" (great explosion)
The Daibakufu was easily an A-rank. A gigantic tornado of water sped horrizontally and swept the Momochi away while crushing him against a tree. Naruto and Kakashi blurred toward him as two senbons embodied theirselves in the nuke nin's neck. An Oinin (Hunter nin) appeared...
"Sorry for this. I was hunting him for months. Thank you for your help..."
Naruto glared at him with two blood red eyes. However, his cloak finally dissipiated. Then he went toward Satsuki, and gave her one of his rare true smiles...
"I'm happy you're alright..."
He then fell only for the Uchiha girl to catch him.
Kakashi meanwhile watched as the hunter nin took Zabuza's body away before he fell forward only for Asuma to catch his friend...
"Sheesh! Tazuna, I hope your house is close!"
Kai!
Fortunately, team ten never asked her about Naruto's power. She was glad they didn't. Asuma probably knew. Ino was intimidated by her silent ordor. Shikamaru was lazy. Choji probably didn't care. As she gently laid Naruto on the couch, the Uzumaki grabbed her waist in his sleep. She blushed at this before she stayed near him.
Soon, a woman that have a striking resemblance to her only two inches taller arrived and greeted them warmly...
"Hey, Ninja-san. Thank you for protecting my father. Welcome at our humble house. How can I ever repay you?"
"Er, you're welcome. It was our duty. What's your name? I'm Satsuki..."
"Alright. I'm Tsunami. Can I help you Satsuki-san with something?"
"Yes, thank you for your kind offer. Could you please help me patch him up? He's my teammate and friend Naruto..."
"I'm not a doctor, but I think he's alright..."
'He healead already?'
"Ok. So, can you please tell me about Nami no Kuni?"
Asuma was outside smoking a cigarette as Ino was still rethinking about Naruto. Specifically that power that no human can possibly have.
"Asuma-sensei, who is Uzumaki Naruto?"
Asuma smiled kindly at this...
"A true hero even if he doesn't know it..."
Ino did all but yelled...
"NO WAY! WHY DOES ALMOST THE WHOLE VILLAGE HATE HIM?"
Asuma took another drag from his cigarette as he sighed in annoyance before answering cryptically...
"Humans can be the most supid creature ever!"
Shikamaru and Choji listened before they shook their heads and went to check up on Kakashi...
Zabuza meanwhile awoke as he looked at Haku with a sad expression...
"Haku, no matter what, if things gets rocky next time get your ass away as fast as you can. That boy is as bad as Yagura!"
Haku was shocked by this. The Yagura that even Zabuza and Kisame faught individually and lost? No way!
"Zabuza-san, you gotta be kidding me?"
Zabuza would've rolled his eyes or shook his head...
"I'm not. His punch would've broke my bones hadn't I used the Kubikiribochu as a shield. He must be a jinchuriki with a cooperative Biju. I'm guessing the worst, the Kyubi! That Biju is the most powerful of them all. If he is anything like Kushina, fighting him would be suicidal. Damn that troll to hell! The contract is now null and void!"
Haku smiled at this. Zabuza raised an eyebrow.
"Something funny?"
"I'm thinking the same, Zabuza-san. You want me to seek them?"
Zabuza nodded as he told him to deliver a letter that he told him the contents...
At the night...
Naruto opened his eyes to see that Satsuki was sleeping with him on her lap and his arms around her. He blushed profously under his mask and let her go. Soon the brunette waked up...
"Naruto, you're ok?"
"Yeah. Sorry about everything, Suki-chan."
The Uchiha girl punched him lightly while softly muttering 'Baka!' before she asked him like a mother scolding her child...
"Why did you put yourself in harms way for me? Why you decided to do the most reckless thing?"
"But Suki-chan, you know why..."
It was the wrong answer as she bumped his head, again...
"Shut up! I'm the one who's supposed to protect you, not the other way around! I don't want to lose you Bakanaru!"
Naruto sighed at this before he felt two soft pink lips crush against his. His eyes widdened in shock as he just had his first kiss...
"Don't be reckless like that. You must be the Hokage one day. I want you to surpass your father!"
Naruto smiled a true happy smile at his best friend...
"I will. I just don't know how and when?"
"Well, I hope soon enough..."
Soon, a voice came which clearly becomes to a twelve years old girl...
"So, care to explain?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow..
"Ino? Explain what?"
The blonde girl smiled impshly...
"Why how come you can use that jutsu or chakra mode?"
Satsuki however activated her Sharingan. Ino gasped at this. However, the brunette's words terrified her...
"If you want to die, then spread the secret!"
Naruto sighed as he shook his head...
"Well, no can do then! Sorry Ino, no offence, you're a good girl and all, but this secret is the second most guarded one in Konoha. As a shinobi, I don't know when or if to talk about it. You can say that it's a clan jutsu!"
Ino raised an eyebrow in shock before she asked...
"The Uzumaki is a clan?"
Satsuki palmed her face at this as she explained...
"Yes! A clan than specialised in Fuinjutsu. They were also called kings of the seas for their unparallel Suiton and Futon prowess. However, it had shared the fate of the Senju clan..."
Naruto frowned grimly. He went to Uzushio last year. He saw how his clan fell after a very brutal and brave fight. He saw also how a few were able to run away. He knew that the barrier was a level fifteen at least...
He knew that there's someone responsible other than Iwa, Kiri and Kumo. Whoever he was, if he was alive, he'll pay with his blood a very horrible and horrifying death...
"My clan is down to only me and Kaa-san. I hope to meet one or two of my clans by luck, but I know it's near impossible..."
'Tsunade-obasan, I will find you!'
Satsuki looked at her bestfriend's painfull expression behind the mask. She wanted to comfort him, yet she knew she can't...
Ino nodded sadly. Naruto was a prankster from hell that almost all of Konoha clans and civilians got pranked by him with NO proof so far. But he was also a good boy...
"I'm sorry to hear this, Naruto. Just, talk to Kaa-san sometimes. She's a good therapist and an amazing psychologist..."
"We'll do.."
Konohagakure, earlier that day...
Two women were chatting as they both felt their hearts ache in the worst possible way...
"Kushina-chan / Mikoto-chan did you feel that?"
That was way too synchronised...
"You too? Does this mean that Suki-chan / Naru-chan is in a grave danger?"
However, for some reason, before they change into their gears and rush to Nami no Kuni like some unstoppable runaway diesel train, they both felt much better. Like everything was completely fine. Like they were relieved from the heaviest of burdens...
A few hours later, both women had the urge to smile...
The next day, Nami no kuni...
Naruto was doing a lot of physical training as Satsuki was simply resting under the shade of a tree. That boy was always so energetic. Like a shark on steroides for lack of better words...
Their musings however stopped as a beautiful raven haired girl (boy, believe it or not!) arrived at them. She had fair skin, a black choker and a pink kimino...
"Hello. Are you two Kakashi-san's students?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow at this...
"And what if we are?"
The girl raised her arms in a defensive manner...
"Easy easy. I'm a friendly, alright? I'm nothing but a messenger? Now please believe me? Oh and I'm a boy..."
Satsuki and Naruto nodded as they had a very different reaction mentally. Unknowingly to each other, they thought the same thing..
'NO WAY! HE'S THIS EFIMINATED?'
"Ok. I'm Naruto. This raven haired beauty is Satsuki-chan. But don't even think about it! What's your name young man?"
"Haku. So, you two are Kakashi-san's students?"
Naruto nodded. Haku simply gave him a letter before he added with a sincere smile...
"I really hope to be your friend soon enough..."
Kakashi woke up sweating and and almost swearing. He checked his surroundings with his eye. Not founding a threat, he finally relaxed in his bed.
Soon, Naruto and Satsuki came in. He raised an eyebrow before they handed him the letter with Naruto saying that it's for him. He red it before he smiled behind his mask...
Dear Monkey.
I figured that Gato might try and kill me. If I were you I'd kill that fat asshole. Do so, pay me, and I promise on my honor as an ex-kiri nin to repay you. I know some interesting gakis that maybe your green village love to have as shinobis. Take care of those two gakis and make them into two splendid shinobis...
P.S. Fuck you Hatake!
Kakashi laughed as he didn't expect that ending on Zabuza's part. So he gave his orders to his genins...
"So, my cute little genins, how about to go, hunt a troll, get into his mind, and make a tidal wave?"
Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he tilted it. Satsuki however smirked...
"Maybe we can have fun, Naru. I think I can use that henge if you want to. Or I'll wait for you to use the transform and seal tactic..."
Naruto smirked at this. Sealing an evil bastard troll? This would be more than fun...
Later that night...
Naruto sent a kage bunshin which used the henge to transform into a bug. The clone flew around until he found Gato. All he did was to draw a sealing paper, seal the snoring troll within it, and flew back away like it did nothing after the henge. As it arrived where Naruto and Satsuki were, it undid it's henge, gave the scroll to Naruto then dissapeared into a plume of smoke, sending it's memories to it's original...
"Hn, you can be very useful whenever you want to, Naru..."
Naruto gave his teammate a dry look before he shook his head.
"Thanks. At least I earn my place in the team. Let's hope to make it into jonin soon enough. Fuck being a genin or a chunin. Missions like those are the ones I signed in for dattebayo."
Satsuki smirked at this. She couldn't dream for any better teammate. While she was more of the brain, Naruto was that terrifying brute force that can buldoze through anything...
"You know we make a good team. A shame that we have only sensei..."
"Quality is better than quantity. How many shinobi does it take to destroy Iwa's battalions?"
"A few I guess. Your father and my father, Kakashi-sensei, Gai-sensei..."
"I guess. I mean quality triumph over quantity at a certain level..."
"Hn, coming from the one man army.."
"One man army or not, I can always kick your ass, Suki-chan."
"You're on it!"
And soon the two sparred for hours until Satsuki finally won by mounting the Uzumaki.
"Didn't you say you're going to kick my ass?"
Naruto had a mischivious smile before he turned her around and mounted her...
"I'd rather turn it to a percussion drum dattebayo..."
The two then laughed. Well, Satsuki chuckled at the joke. She knew he didn't get what he just said...
Ino was stunned how Satsuki knew how to get into someone's mind. While not quite as good as her shintenshin, her Genjutsu was so good that the victime would lose upon looking into her eyes...
"Damn! Satsuki, you are scary when you want to!"
"Hn, I try. Ino, could you be a kind girl and peek into this troll's mind?"
Ino nodded as she made the sings for her Shintenshin no jutsu. As her body went lump, Suki waited with a paper and a pen. As her comrade's eyes opened, she told her MANY things she wanted to know...
"I think that his forces might try to attack the bridge!"
Meanwhile, at the bridge...
Naruto had the fun of his life. He always wanted to use his Katana against many opponents. With his tajuu kage bunshins and wind chakra, the thugs went to their death. Their gruesome, bloody, and not gentle at all deaths...
"This is it? You gotta be kidding me! I can't believe that I left nothing for Suki-chan. She's going to be sooo mad at me and might nag me to death dattebayo!"
Tazuna, Shikamaru and Choji were more than just shocked. The three thought in unision...
'WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GUY?'
As if he knew what must've been in their mind, he smiled warmly at them...
"A good shinobi!"
Meanwhile...
A hut in Nami...
"Zabuza-san, all of Gato's thugs are dead. They were killed by that kid!"
Zabuza smiled in satisfaction as he looked at his long travel compagnion. And he gave him a look that was the closest to a father saying good bye to his son...
"Splendid, Haku. Thank you for being the son I always wanted. Thank you for not leaving me whenever things went south. Thank you for taking care of me. I want you to do me one last favor... Go to that old man's house, and ask them for my fee. I think it's time for me and Kisame to do that thing..."
Haku's eyes widdened as they became wet. Zabuza was practicly saying that their days would be over...
"I'm sorry about it, son. If I die, please take my Kubikiribochu from whoever wields it apart that puddle. Also, tell Kisame that I'm thanking him for being a good friend..."
"Zabuza-san, stop being this pessimistic. I know that with you and Kisame-san, and the ever increasing rebel forces, Yagura's regime will fall..."
"I'll wait for the psycho and his groupe to come back here. I might stay here for a little while before going back hom and reclaim what's ours."
Zabuza had a very sad smile on his face. Haku was truelly like a son. It was a shame that he'll let the group of young children away to a foreign village...
But he couldn't risk their deaths in a war. No! It was his sins not theirs. It was his path not theirs...
'Kisame, I know you'll understand my friend...'
Meanwhile, somewhere unknown...
"Children, I'm glad to know you. You changed my life and gave me a purpose. For this I thank you. Now go! I won't say goodbye, cause I wish to meet you again! If I won't, then I'll wait for you to die of old age, hopefully."
A chorus of 'Thank you, sensei' rang through the ship's cabin which was a music to the tall person's ears...
Naruto finally escorted Tazuna to his house. He was now absolutly bored. While he can use his kage bunshins to help building the bridge faster, he decided against it. He tried to teach the many orphans about chakra and how to use it. At least he would be a hero...
"Naru! What happened to you? Why are you covered in blood?"
Naruto gulped. Satsuki can be scary like his mother if not terrifying sometimes...
"Er, you see, I faught against Gato's men. I killed each and every one of them..."
"You feel horrible?"
Naruto grinned at her...
"Nah. They were planning to do things that made my blood boil. I didn't know why I feel much better now."
Satsuki smiled at this. It was about damn time her bestfriend accept that aspect of their lives. Now at least he did...
"Say, did you use that katana?"
Naruto nodded at this. Satsuki immidiately deduced about the Uzumaki's bloodthirst...
"The curse of the bloody-haired clan!"
Naruto nodded grimly. Satsuki then surprised him by putting a hand on his shoulder...
"Worry not, Naru. We both know that he was right about killing them..."
"You trust... You know who?"
"Hey! He lived for a longer time than any of us. It's natural for me trust his wisdome."
Naruto eyesmiled at her as she then dragged him toward Kakashi's room...
As the two entered, their still weakened sensei raised an eyebrow. The Uchiha let go of her bestfriend's hand...
"Er, Kakashi-sensei, Naru killed all of Gato's hand.."
Kakashi eyesmiled at this. Naruto however revealed his face as it was boring a guilty expression..
"Am I a monster?"
Satsuki bumped him lightly on his head. As he turned to her, she was shaking her head with dissapointement...
"Sensei, could you please explain?"
Kakashi sighed.
"No you are a shinobi. Better them than you and Tazuna-san. But Naruto, I know you are a kind soul which never kills unless there's no chance of redemption for them... Naruto, don't blame yourself!"
Naruto glared at him...
"Does it matter? I mean I killed them myself! I mean I'm a bad person. I felt better killing them..."
Kakashi sighed at this...
"No you are not. You hesitated at killing Zabuza. You could've killed him and the fake Oi-nin. But why you didn't?"
Naruto smiled at this as Satsuki voiced her oppinion...
"You feeled that they have some good in their heart, didn't you Naru?"
Naruto nodded...
"Change of subject, what will you do now? The plan to make the wave stand up had fell down the drain..."
"Maybe I'll train some kids in taijutsu and chakra control?"
Satsuki laughed a bit. Naruto took a mental note how her laugh was melodic. He wondered if she was a good singer...
"What?"
"You... Being called Naruto-sensei. Imagine me being called Satsuki-sensei?"
Naruto smiled at that.
"You'll do fine! You are a genius after all."
Satsuki glared at him while pouting and puffing her cheeks...
"Oh Naru seriously? You know that I work too hard."
Naruto snorted.
"Please. I work twelve hours straight. You need at least three rests.."
"At least I am not as dense as you..."
Kakashi looked as his students had their usual glaring match before both laughed. It became a routine for team seven...
"Kakashi-sensei, should I carry you?"
Kakashi shook his head as he used two crutched to walk around...
Downstairs...
"Tsunami, like I told you; this kid is definitely not normal one bit..."
Tsunami shook her head at her father's antics.
"He saved our country. He saved your life!"
Tazuna laughed at this before he replied...
"No, no. I mean he inspired courage in the hearts of the next generation. He inspired courage in my workers and friend's hearts. Also, his smile was very warm whenever he didn't do that did. But he's kinda... bipolar?"
A new voice soon came to their ears...
"Who's bipolar dattebayo?"
Tsunami's and Tazuna's eyes widdened for a second as Naruto entered eyesmilling and Satsuki was smirking...
"Kid, how could your personality shift a 180 degree so fast?"
Satsuki laughed softly at this as Naruto grew a tickmark...
"Hey! I'm a ninja. You hired a ninja for the job not some brats! By the way, where is team ten?"
Tsunami smiled softly...
"I guess they're training. They went with their sensei outside an hour ago."
Satsuki nodded as soon, a young boy identified as Inari came...
"I don't know why they try so hard. Gato is strong..."
Satsuki snorted as Naruto laughed loudly. At this scene Kakashi came...
"So, something funny?"
Naruto smirked at this...
"This kid is a true comedian. He said that a midget troll is strong..."
Inari soon slammed his hand on the table...
"I'm serious! You're going to die if you fight him! What do you know of suffering?"
Satsuki's glare immidiately shutted him up. Naruto's eyes however putted the fear itself in his soul...
"Tell me, did you get beaten near to death? Did anyone gave you a trauma? Did you starve? Did you watched your family getting murdered with cold blood with no descrimination? Did you see your most trusted person kill your own father? Did your father commit suicide leaving you alone, HUH? Did you get nothing but curses, glares, insult and cold eyes from everyone, you and your mother, for being the fucking heros? NO? THEN YOU HAVE NO FUCKING RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT PAIN, YOU LITTLE COWARD! YOU HAVE YOUR MOTHER AND GRANPA! THE VILLAGE DOESN'T HATE YOU! I'VE SEEN HOW THE OTHER CHILDREN ARE! YOUR GRANDFATHER IS A DAMN HERO. EITHER YOU DO OR SAY SOMETHING ELSE OR SHUT UP! LIFE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU, SO FACE IT AND STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!"
Naruto soon left slamming the door behind him. Satsuki was now livid as she went following her teammate. Inari was more than shocked. How could that boy be this strong? Tazuna asked bluntly the question...
"Kakashi-san, to who happened all this?"
Kakashi sighed as he replied to and asked Tazuna at the end...
"Tazuna-san, Tsunami-san, Inari-kun, those happened to us. To our team. We might be unbelievably strong, but we are but humans. Tell me Tazuna-san, what made Inari-kun like this?"
Tazuna glanced at his grandson who nodded. As the old man told Kakashi the whole story, Kakashi nodded in understoodment...
"I see. Inari-kun, try to move on. Naruto just wanted you to get out of his depression. He had a bad past, and so did I and Satsuki. Just, let's say that Naruto is considered a hero by a very few persons despite the fact that he's the one who saved their lives each and everyday."
Inari's eyes widdened at this. Kakashi continued...
"Look, don't hold anything inside you. But when you don't feel the same pain anymore, you should try and forget about it. I.. Lost my father too and at a very young age. My mother died at my own childbirth. Then I got a few precious person and lost most of them again. Now I have those two and a few friends. My advise young one is to cherish those you love, and try to be nice to everyone and you'll see, ok? I believe you can do it."
Inari nodded at this and smiled...
"Kakashi-sensei, about Gato, how will you do the deed?"
Kakashi simply eyesmiled...
"When the time is right. Maybe I'll pay someone his dues and leave Gato for you. By the way, most of his mercenaries are dead!"
Inari was shocked at the news. Who could've done something like this?
"And that kid is the one who killed them. He just doesn't like to talk about himself a lot I guess..."
Inari cried a few tears of joy as he knew that the nightmare was finally over...
Tsunami and Tazuna thanked Kakashi and his students profousely...
Meanwhile, Naruto and Satsuki were sparring full contact with no hold barred. The fight was brutal, merciless and was much needed. At the end, it was yet another no contest only thanks to Naruto's massive endurence...
"Thank you, Suki-chan!"
Satsuki smirked at this...
"You're welcome, Naru. So, now what?"
Naruto sighed...
"Did you know everything?"
Satsuki nodded. Naruto gave her that look...
"I guess we'll recuperate, pay Zabuza, or rather Kakashi-sensei pays Zabuza, get our dues, and give the village their money back! But since you're the one who knows the best, you'll have to do it!"
Naruto soon had a nasty lump on his head which it had smoke just like Satsuki's clenched fist...
"Bakanaru! You're coming with me!"
Naruto nodded at this...
"Hai."
The two then did a kip-up like always and sped to Gato's mansion...
The rest of the mission was more of a vacation than mission. Naruto's kage bunshins were either helping building the bridge, or was teaching the kids how to fight and use their chakras. Suki was helping him to teach the kids, well, her kage bunshins at least...
A week had passed since their battle with Zabuza. The bridge was almost complete. However, a thick mist arrived...
Kakashi and team seven were on their guard as a grave sound came from everywhere...
"Kakashi, do you have my money?"
Kakashi eyesmiled...
"Well, I have half of it. Twenty million ryo is enough?"
Zabuza smiled at this. Kisame finally appeared...
"Hatake-san, I think it's more than enough. Alright children, go to your new mentor!"
The mist dissipiated revealing a tall blue skined man with shark features, a large bandaged sword on his back, but also revealed more...
A red haired girl, an orange haired teen, a white haired teen, a white haired boy, and a black haired effiminate teen...
"Karin, Juugo, Kimimaro, Suigetsu and Haku respectively! Kakashi-san, please take care of those children. Addopt them into the Hatake or the Uzumaki clan!"
Kakashi eyes widdened...
"You knew that there's an Uzumaki on my team?"
Zabuza laughed as he told him how Haku knew...
"I heard that Gato had dissapeared. Who could possibly kidnap a man and seal him alive in a scroll?"
Kakashi palmed his face as he muttered...
"Oh great! What the hell did I thought of doing..."
Suigetsu however smirked...
"So, can we call you Tou-chan?"
Everyone safe for Kakashi laughed as Naruto and Satsuki finally arrived. Naruto raised an eyebrow as he heard the whole thing...
"Sure! Kaa-chan would be overjoyed! I mean having a single child left her kinda... lonely!"
Kisame smirked...
"By the way, tell Kushina-san I said 'Hi and thank you for sparing my friend's life!' kid!"
Naruto nodded at this. He always dreamed of a big family. But first...
"So, who likes Ramen?"
None of them had raised their hand and Karin asked...
"Er, what's ramen?"
Naruto's eyes widdened and Satsuki laughed at this...
"Kami-sama! They never tasted the best food ever? We'll need to do something Kakashi-sensei! Oh I know. Everyone, let's eat together..."
And soon he pulled a scroll wich contained a LOT of Ichiraku's special ramen. Well, he did gave a bowl to each and every child he met at the wave...
Kisame ate a bowl and surprisingly gave a bowl to Samehada. Then he gently nodded to the kid...
"You know, if me and Zabuza come to the leaf, maybe we'll eat this delicious food again."
The children however ate their food silently enjoying it. Satsuki however kind of hated ramen unless there's some tomatoes in it. Fortunately, Naruto did just that. A chorus of 'Tasty' later. Juugo, Kimimaro, Haku and Suigetsu remained silent until Naruto looked at Karin for a little too long...
"Karin was it? We have.. the same blood."
Karin's eyes widdened at this. How?
"Well, you see, I have a friend just right here. He helps me always!"
As Naruto put a hand in his stomach, Kisame explained about the jinchurikis. The children, amazingly, took it better than everyone else in Konoha. They even considered Naruto as a true hero for sacrificing his life, more than anyone else for being sacrificed without his knowledge...
By the time the bridge was finished, the new commers have forget a thick bond as team seven. While ironically called team seven became a seven genins group and Kakashi as their father figure...
Also they swam a lot of times. That had to count. Naruto didn't truelly like team ten. But Shikamaru and Choji are his friends...
Haku also told him and Satsuki that they'll be unbelievably strong. Stronger than anyone they knew. Zabuza and Kisame left with the money after the second strongest Kiri nuke-nin apologized to Tazuna who understood why Zabuza and Kisame needed a lot of cash : They wanted to get the old Kiri that used to embrace everyone back...
Juugo and Kimimaro were the least to talk. While calm and quite, the Kaguya still have some kindness burried. He wasn't Haku, who's one of the kindest soul you can meet, but still.
Juugo also begged everyone to chain him whenever he asked them. Naruto told him that between him and Satsuki, there's only a few that can match them...
Also, Kakashi jokingly called them team Kekkei Genkai. Karin protested for a little while before Kakashi told her that they'll awaken it.
Surprisingly, Naruto said nothing. Satsuki however knew that her bestfriend and teammate have a Kekkei Genkai. An elemental one like no other : The Mokuton!
Kakashi knew his sensei's family's tree. He knew that Naruto's name was so it doesn't draw much attention, just like his father who took his mother's maiden name, Namikaze...
However, Naruto needed to train in his Kekkei Genkai. Kakashi knows that he may have surpassed his comerade Tenzo a while ago. Why Naruto doesn't use his Mokuton yet? He would after being a sage and becomming a jonin.
Kakashi watched as his team talked idly...
"So, Naruto, do you like animals?"
Naruto had a huge grin on his face behind his mask...
"Of course I do. Suki-chan, can I introduce him to Indomari?"
Haku asked the Uchiha about the name. The girl however shook her head no...
"Do you want him to die? I mean even I and Kakashi-sensei are not close. She stopped attacking us because of you!"
Naruto laughed sheepishly as Karin now asked...
"What is it? A dinosaure?"
Satsuki nodded as she explained...
"Three years ago, Naru found an egg when he tried to use the Kushiyose. I found a Hawk called Garuda. Naruto took care of the egg for two monthes until it hatched. But what it hatched was a freaking theropode! Anyway, at only a year old, she became way too ferocious and she only doesn't attack Naruto..."
"But Suki-chan, she was at a devolloping stage of his life. Poor Indomari, she's left alone in the forest of death..."
Satsuki glared at him warningly...
"Don't say it! How come she forgot about me? I mean she've seen our faces first!"
"I... visited sometimes? Like each and every day?"
Satsuki sighed at this...
"Fine! But one day, you'll have to get her out before she kills someone..."
Naruto's eyes widdened before he told them...
"I remember why! You didn't visit her for a very long time!"
Satsuki nodded at this. Now it made sense...
Kakashi choose this moment to interfere...
"Well, she's a huge help I guess? By the way, why don't you summon her?"
Naruto however shook his head...
"What if she'll go berserk like always?"
This time; an old voice in his head replied...
"Why don't you try? Lucky reptilian-bird gets to see the world!"
'I'm sorry Kurama! I tried, Kami-sama knows!'
"Hmm, I hope you'll find the key. But my advise to you : Fight me ONLY when you become a sage. I recomend the toads, I hate them, true. But at least they're nice. Also, if your girlfriend get the snake contract, and that rabbit gets the slugs..."
'Kurama! Suki-chan isn't my girlfriend! Hell, even if I ask her out, I doubt she'll say yes!'
"Please Naruto! You two are doing everything a young couple would! Well, you two might fight each other at full power before so. The only way to beat her curse of hatered is by fighting at the fullest of power. If it comes to that, I have an amazing thing I thought about for a long time, yet Kushina and Mito were never like you! You wanted to know my name. You accepted me as a very wise being, and finally, you're proud to be my partner. So, as soon as she replace her eyes with her brother's or mother's, you two are going to fight so you can finally push each other..."
Naruto mentally nodded grimly. He then had a soft smile under his mask...
'Kurama, if I die, please promise me to take care of Suki-chan!'
"As much as I hate Madara, I will just for you!"
The gigantic fox then went to sleep as Naruto came back to the outside world...
"I'll do it!"
He then put some of his blood as he did the handseals...
"Kuchiyose no jutsu!"
And a huge plume of smoke apeared. A huge carnivorous dinosaur with a surprisingly long and muscular (for a theropode) arms that had three fingers and a thumb each, a quill of feathers on her neck, a large body that would be about seventeen meters long, and was a two stories high appeared and roared loudly...
"Naruto, what now?"
Naruto grinned..
"Hey Indomari, I missed you. Meet my full team. Kaguya Kimimaro, Yuki Haku, Uzumaki Karin, Juugo, Hozoki Suigetsu and finally, Uchiha Suki-chan that we both know and love. And let's not forget our dear sensei, Hatake Kakashi-sensei!"
Indomari left her right clawed hand...
"Yo! Hope he's not a handfull!"
Satsuki muttered something. Kimimaro, Juugo, Karin, and Haku smiled. Suigetsu however was shocked before he asked...
"This is the Uzumaki clan's summon? Man that clan is so cool! Can I summon someone like you, Indomari-chan?"
Indomari growled at Suigetsu before she had a predatory grin...
"Nah! Only Naruto can summon me! The reason is that he took care of me as an egg, so as a teen I have to be his friend!"
Everyone's eyes widdened. Then a chorus of yells (minus Naruto) shouted loudly...
"YOU ARE A TEEN?"
Naruto laughed loudly as he shook his head...
"Nah! She's not a hatchling, but barely. Also, she's the second largest summon in about two or three years."
'Good thing I never told them about Mosasui. That was a gigantic summon. Unfortunately, I can no longer summon her since last year..'
Indomari laughed as she told them that her species is just abnormal, kind of like Naruto...
"By the way, Naruto is like me an abnormal. Unfortunately, I can't teach him Senjutsu. I guess Fukasaku-sama and Shima-sama would be thrilled. By the way, Satsuki-chan, I think I'll talk to Aoda and convince Manda-san how bad Orochimaru is... Nah! Sorry that I can't, but I think that Aoda would love to meet you one day. See you around!"
And she dissapeared in a plume of smoke, leaving the whole team baffled until Suki asked Kakashi...
"Who are Aoda and Manda?"
Kakashi sighed as he replied...
"Manda is the boss summon of snakes. Aoda is probably his relative I guess? Anyway, summons vary, but you tell them whenever or not their terms are acceptable..."
Naruto sighed. Carnivorous summons are very troublesome...
"Indomari told me once that she eats and kills humans sometimes. Where do you think the boddies went?"
Satsuki smirked at this...
"Good to know that those lowlives did something good with their deaths. I would only summon a snake that's nice and doesn't demand human sacrifices though..."
Naruto unconsciously hugged her, proud to hear that...
"Suki-chan, would you please go on a date with me? Please?"
Satsuki sighed at this..
"I'm... sorry, Naru. I would love to go but... You know why I can't, yet at least!"
Naruto nodded as he understood her reason...
"However, if we're going as a team, please everyone take another table?"
Naruto's eyes widdened at this. Was she really innocent like him and didn't know what date means?
"No, innocence is not for me, but rather for you, Bakanaru!"
Naruto then laughed at her denial. She can be sweet sometimes...
Meanwhile, Konohagakure...
A tall, white haired man knocked on Kushina's door...
"Hello, Jiraiya-san!"
The red haired woman looked at him in a slight anger...
"Sorry about not visiting until now. Did you tell Naruto that I'm his godfather?"
"No! Actually, he would slice you if I did!"
Jiraiya was kind of shocked at this. He knew Naruto and Satsuki being the best of friends, teammates, and possibly future husband and wife, but to hear that his godson fell to that curse...
"Just kidding. Seriously, why didn't you visit for years?"
Jiraiya sweated, but soon he cried in a very high pitched voice 'Kyaaaaaa' as Mikoto kicked him in the balls...
"That was for leaving the kindest of souls for soo long!"
Jiraiya winced out 'I'm sorry' before Kushina and Mikoto helped him up to a chair. Mikoto then asked him a little favor...
"Jiraiya-sensei, could you please help my daughter unlock the Mangekyo?"
Jiraiya's eyes widdened as Kushina continued...
"Naruto is an almost perfect jinchuriki. And the same Kyubi that both me and Mito-sama held was not without a brain. We simply were, foolish I admit. Naruto managed to befriend him, but he told him that only after he becomes a sage that he'll acknowledge him. And that, he have the body of a sage dattebane!"
Jiraiya's eyes widdened in pure shock. To have the body of a sage meant that the risks of Senjutsu are practically zero...
"I'll see what I can do. When will he return from his mission?"
Kushina saw Pakkun who came at her with a letter from Kakashi...
"I guess this week?"
As she gave Pakkun a nicely cooked stake, the dog high fived her in gratefullness as he ate his meal. The red haired woman red the letter as her eyes widdened...
"Mikoto-chan, Jiraiya-san, I think we must tell this to Hokage-san!"
Kakashi was talking with Asuma and Tazuna about many manly things that shall not be written. The two teams were now at the ocean swimming with Naruto almost always winning. Suigetsu would win sometimes but Naruto would most of the times...
"How can you swim this good?"
Naruto simply shrugged his shoulders..
"The Uzumakis can swim like a fish or a marine reptile I guess..."
Suigetsu was surprisingly very close to Naruto. The two had many things in common they guessed...
Karin and Ino became friends. Haku was playing a game of shogi with Shikamaru. Satsuki was currently fishing. Kimimaro and Juugo were sunbathing as Juugo was talking to animals, like he always do.
Naruto then looked as Suigetsu...
"Say, can you hold your breath or breath underwater? Which one?"
Suigetsu shrugged his shoulders...
"Both!"
"I can do the same. I think I got an idea. How about we terrify the fishes toward Suki-chan's hook?"
Suigetsu shook his head as he seriously didn't have a deathwish...
A few hours latter...
Naruto was grinning like an idiot. He caught a LOT of salmons with his kage bunshins. He loved salmon fillet more than anything that wasn't ramen or red beans soup...
"Seriously, Naru, you have the luck of the devil!"
Naruto nodded. While Satsuki caught a few fishes, Naruto caught a lot!
Shikamaru and Choji were shaking their heads. How did any human do to catch fishes UNDERWATER?
AN : Well, unfortunately, that's all for now. This arc is more of a flashback and a very fast paced kind of writting style since I don't know when I'll get time again? Anyway, feel free to review, as long as you don't flame me. I appreciate it! Thank you everyone!
