Chapter 4 - Magus in Waves
{Land Of Waves}
They left to meet up with Tazuna's man to get them to the country in the morning, only to be attack by Zabuza and his backup when they reach the Land of Waves. Naruto block the Executioner Blade with his reinforce assassin bracers. Xenovia went in to fight him alone due to her wanting to fight another swordsman. Naruto would blow away all the mist that he would create. On the verge of losing to Xenovia broadsword, Zabuza's backup 'killed' him and took him away. The reason why Xenovia wasn't using her Mystic Code is due to it being overpowered. Naruto tinkered with it and made it more powerful. She named her Mystic Code, Ex-Durandal. Due to her liking the legend of Roland, but with Naruto's modification, she add the 'Ex-' into Durandal. She would only pull it out if she need it.
"Xenovia. That was unnecessary." Krulcifer said while shaking her head. Tazuna look confused.
"He's our mission. We were suppose to deliver a message to him." Naruto clarify.
"Ops" Was the only thing Xenovia could only say. She got excited when she face Zabuza. Out of the group, she was the best sword wielder. Naruto and Krulcifer have their own sword, but in terms of skills, she was superior.
"Well at least he'll come back." Naruto said.
"Wait. What do you mean that he will come back? Didn't that shinobi kill that guy?" Tazuna asked. He saw how the hunter ninja 'killed' Zabuza and took away his body.
"That is where you would be wrong." Xenovia pointed out.
"That hunter ninja use senbons. They can only kill if the target is a vital organ. Last I check, shinobi didn't have any vital organs in the neck. There is also the fact the ninja took the body away instead of cutting the head off and burning the body on site. It's standard protocol." Krulcifer added. Her time with Naruto, she learn a lot about protocols for countries in and out of the Veil.
"There is also the message we have to deliver to him is from the new Mizukage of Kiri. She wants him to return after he left to fund the rebels. Apparently no one told him that the Civil War in Kiri is over." Naruto pointed out, while showing Tazuna the letter from Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, with the seal of the Mizukage. "Once he reads the letter, he will have no reason to work for Gato anymore. You'll be safe with us." Naruto reassured Tazuna. Tazuna had a speechless expression. That entire fight and the stop of the assassination attempt on him would stop be stop with a single letter that was Naruto's mission to deliver.
"Thank you Emiya-san!" Tazuna bowed. Since he left his country, he was worried about the shinobi killing his people. With Naruto and his friends, he wouldn't need to worry about that anymore.
They continue the journey to Tazuna's house where they would be staying.
"Tsunami! I'm home!" Tazuna shouted into his house, while the others were entering the house as well.
"Father! You're back!" Tsunami is Tazuna's daughter. She was a beautiful woman with long colored hair. She wore a short-sleeved pink shirt with the end of the sleeves and the collar being red in color. She also wore long blue skirt. She then turn to greet the guests. "You must be shinobis from Konoha." She said with a bow and a grateful smile.
Naruto chuckled. "Actually, we're not from Konoha."
"You're not?"
"No they're not." Tazuna went in to clarify. "I went to Konoha, but they wanted more than we could afford. I left and ran into these three kids and hired them." He said with a big grin.
"Isn't too dangerous to allow kids to face Gato, Dad?" She asked her father with a disapproving tone. She could understand if Konoha was charging too much, but to hire a group of kids instead of shinobis is reckless.
"Tsunami, get this." He pointed to Naruto. "He the Magus Killer! I'm serious, I saw one of his girl fight and she took down one of Gato's shinobi!" Tsunami was very surprise at the news. She too heard the stories of the Magus Killer going around the Elemental Nation helping anyone that needs it. She even wish that the Magus Killer would visit her country and save it from Gato, but thought that he was off saving more important people and countries.
"Oh my!" She said while covering her mouth with her hands. She bowed to Naruto. "Thank you for coming here to save us, Magus Killer-san."
"Emiya. Emiya is just fine." Naruto said. He then went towards the door. "I'm going to draw a barrier to protect you guys if anyone dangerous shows up."
Krulcifer and Xenovia went in to settle down in the house and relax. They talk to Tazuna and Tsunami about the current state of Waves. Naruto came back in and discuss about the time length to finish the bridge. Naruto even offered to help out along with Xenovia. Krulcifer wasn't physically fit to do hard labor without applying Reinforcement on her body.
The next day, Naruto took a break and went around town with Xenovia. Krulcifer decided to stay with Tsunami to keep her safe and her child, Inari. Inari was a sad boy after the lost of his step-father. Krulcifer would try to cheer him up, but he would ignore her.
A little boy came up to Naruto and Xenovia. "Mister. Do you have any spare food that you can give?" Naruto gave it a minute to think about it. It was already lunch time and everyone would be hungry. Especially the workers.
"Hey kid, do you know where is town square?" Naruto asked the boy. He nodded. "Take me there first, then I'll give you some food." The boy grew a very big grin. He wasn't able to get food everyday, now he would be able to bring food for his mother. He led Naruto and Xenovia to town square.
"Emiya-sama, are you going to feed the entire town?" Xenovia asked carefully. Aware to keep Naruto's name hidden. Especially near the Land of Fire. Xenovia was also asking because she was worried about not having enough food to cook later for herself.
"Ya. Look around." He gestured to the starving people of Waves. "They need a good home cook meal." Once at town square where there were many people walking around, hoping to find food. Naruto pulled out his cooking equipment and set them up at the center. Xenovia was setting up the stand to give out the food to everyone. She was still forbidden to enter Naruto's kitchen, even if it is a makeshift kitchen. Their action gain the attention of everyone around. "Hey, kid. Can you wait for an hour, so I can cook up something for you?"
"Sure mister, but can I get a little more. My mom is very sick and can't move anymore." The child ask.
"No problem." Naruto said with a warm smile. Naruto started to cook a series of donburi. A bowl of rice containing vegetables, fish or meat, and other ingredients. During the entire show, nearly the entire town was attracted to the smell. Including Tsunami and Inari with Krulcifer watching Naruto cook. The smell was amazing that many workers were drooling. "Here you go kid." Naruto handed two bowls to the boy to eat and bring one for his mother.
"Thank you very much mister!" He said with the biggest smile he ever had. He never smelt food like the one Naruto was cooking before and was drooling during the entire time.
"Free food everyone!" Xenovia shouted. "Just lineup here to receive a free donburi!" Everyone started to line up. The cooking alone attracted many people and they wanted to eat it. They thought that it was going to cost them, but it turns out that the child chef was kind enough to give a nice meal free of charge.
At the end of the day, the entire town was much more alive. Back at Tazuna's house Naruto was helping with dinner. After Tsunami tasted his cooking, she couldn't deny him of cooking anymore in her house.
"Who knew that a simple home cook meal was enough to turn things around." Naruto said out loud.
"Everyone looks happier after eating your cooking." Tsunami added. "Thank you again for helping my town."
"It's no problem. It's nice to see people smile like that." Naruto said with his own smile.
"Where did you learn to cook like that?" Tsunami asked. Wanting to know how a 14 year old is capable of cooking on that level.
"Mainly trial and error. My parents died when I was seven years old." Naruto said sadly.
She frown at the news. "My condolences."
"Thanks." Naruto smiled. "It's just me and my sister and our mother's side of the family. They weren't the greatest people to be with, so me and my sister would stick together. I learn how to cook for her."
"That's a nice thing to do for your little sister." Tsunami commented to his story.
"Little sister? No she is my older sister by two or three years. Hard to tell when she stop growing and stay the same size when I was seven." Naruto laugh at. Tsunami gave a little giggle as well. She tried to imagine a silver haired 16 year old in the body of a nine year old. The idea alone was funny that Naruto has a little older sister.
Naruto and Tsunami went to the table to set up dinner where the entire family was waiting at with the two bluenette.
"Man, I hope this meal is good as the one you cook during lunch time!" Tazuna said happily. He was digging in with his workers in Naruto's donburi during lunch time. Everyone seemed to be enjoying Naruto's home cook meal, all except one. "Do you think that you guys can handle Gato and his men?" He asked. Trying to start a conversation.
"Of course. You saw Xenovia fighting off Zabuza. Zabuza is at most a A-Rank Shinobi. I fought stronger." Naruto said with a big grin under his scarf. Tsunami and Tazuna were staring at him, not for his claim, but for his plate. He already ate all of his food. They literally set up the food a few second ago and now it's empty.
Inari look down at his plate. "Why do you even try? You're just going to die." He muttered darkly.
"Inari!" Tsunami scolded her son.
Naruto took another look at the boy. "Why? Don't you believe in us and your grandfather? He's doing all he can to free you and everyone else from him." Naruto told him.
Tears started to leak out of Inari's eye. "Shut up! You don't understand what it's like to live with Gato ruling us! You're just a shinobi who live in a shinobi village where you were protected! You don't know our pain! Don't try to pretend to know my pain!" Inari cried out.
Naruto got up and went over to Inari. He place his hand over his shoulder. "I know pain." Naruto said. He then lowered his scarf to show his face. Tsunami and Tazuna didn't expect him to be hiding whiskers. Tsunami found them to be a little cute. "I know how you feel."
He then gave him a hug and got up and lean against the wall. "Did you know that I'm was born in Konoha?" Naruto asked the family. Before they could ask anything, he continued. "Konoha, the most noblest village out of the entire Elemental Nations. It was said to be a place full of kind people and strong shinobi to protect you." Naruto was making it sound like Inari was right in his accusation. "But let me tell you that, that's bullshit! Ever since I was born, I was beaten up daily, starved and forced to eat of the trashcan, I lived out on the streets since I was three years old. My parents abandoned me when I was born, so I spent my first three years in the orphanage where the caretaker would feed me scraps and encourage the other kids to beat me up. On my birthday, the entire village would get together and hunt me down. And I mean hunt like hunting down a rabid animal. Shinobi and civilian stabbed me, broke my bones, burned me, and even crucified me. I gave up hope long ago. I knew my parents willingly left me behind to suffer that fate. I never knew happiness or safety. It was on that cross is where I was saved. A man was passing by the village and saw me on that cross and cut me down. He healed all of my wounds and took me away from the godforsaken village. He adopted me. He showed me kindness, he gave me real food, he gave me a mother and a sister, and gave me a life worth living, but most importantly, he gave me hope. That man. The man that gave me hope was Kiritsugu Emiya, my father."
Naruto started to walk towards the door. "I suffered so much from Konoha for four years of my life. My parents eventually died three years later. I felt pain again. Pain of loneliness, but I have my sister. She was there for me and I was there for her. You have two people here for you. Your mother and grandfather. They're here for you. Don't lose hope. Don't give in." Naruto then covered his face again and left. Leaving the entire family speechless. Krulcifer and Xenovia were staring at the door that Naruto left. They knew that he was in pain. They wanted to help him, but he wanted to be alone.
Tsunami went over to calm down the crying Inari. 'I didn't know!' Inari mentally shouted at himself. He didn't expect someone to suffer like that.
Tsunami was the first to speak after hearing the boy's tale. "I-is i-it t-t-true? Did his p-parents really abandon him to that fate?" She was tearing up too. The story was too painful for her to handle. As a mother, she can't believe that another mother would let something so horrible happen to their own flesh and blood.
Krulcifer nod her head. "It's true. His parents did abandon him and they did it willingly. The worst part is that is the icing on the cake. There was far more that happened that he's hiding. His name is Naruto Emiya. I know that he didn't say it, but I hope that you guys can keep this a secret. Konoha would do anything to get their hands on Naruto-kun if they find out that he's still alive. His father made sure to fake his death when he was adopted." Tsunami and Tazuna agreed to keep his secret.
Xenovia then took out an old photo that Naruto made a copy for her. As the head maid of the Emiya household, she wanted to know about all the members. She place it on the table to show the family. She was hoping that the photo would help. "This is a photo of Naruto-sama's family on his first birthday party." Inari manage to calm down and went with his mother and grandfather to look at the picture. It showed a picture of a loving family in front of a fireplace. Naruto still had blond hair at the time, but had silver streaks. He was riding on Kiritsugu's shoulder, while Kiritsugu was falling down with his son. His mother Iris and sister Illya were on the sofa laughing at the son and father pair laughing and falling. "Naruto-sama told me that this was his happiest moment in life. His first time of being happy on his birthday instead of being afraid."
The family could only look at the photo of the blond/silver head having fun. They would have never expected that a child that happy to suffer so much. Inari was staring at the photo the longest. It reminded him of his father in all, but blood. "I won't give up." He muttered while wiping away his last tear with his new found resolution. 'If he can do it, then I can too.'
Outside, Naruto was leaving town. Heading into the forest. He wanted to be alone because he was crying. Remembering the past was painful for him, but it was the only thing that he could think of to save Inari. Naruto decided to sleep outside in a tree tonight. He jump up to a branch and started to write runes. His runes reinforce the branch and sealed away his chakra network, so he can't be detected.
In the morning there was a girl out gathering herbs. Naruto saw her and knew who she was right away from her chakra signature. If he didn't, he couldn't be considered a sensor ninja. "You need any help down there!" Naruto shouted to the girl from the branch with a cigarette in his mouth.
She jump up from the small fright Naruto gave her. 'I didn't sense him.' She then took another look at Naruto. 'He's with the group protecting our target.' Naruto then came down. "What are you doing here..."
"Emiya or if you want to call me, Magus Killer."
"Emiya-san. What are you doing here?" The girl asked. The name didn't ring a bell, but the term, Magus Killer, sounded familiar.
"I was sleeping in that tree." Naruto pointed to. "What are you doing miss..."
"Haku. My name is Haku." She told him.
"What are you doing here Haku?"
"I'm out gathering herbs. My friend is sick and needs medicine, but we don't have enough money for money." Haku half-lied.
"Oh, I can help. I know a lot of herbs." Naruto started to play along and gather herbs for Haku.
"Thank you very much Emiya-san." She said happily. A few minutes of gathering plants, she went to get information. "Are you a shinobi?"
"What makes you think so?"
"It's just that you said that you slept in a tree and you know about medical herbs."
"Well I guess that I'm that awesome." Naruto laugh. "And no, I'm not a shinobi. I'm just a freelancer. People hire me to do whatever they're paying me for."
"Why be a freelancer, Emiya-san?" Haku asked.
"Well being a freelancer mean that I don't have to report to anyone."
"Then you are a shinobi?"
"More like an assassin. I don't really have proper shinobi training, but I'm good at killing." Naruto then put all the herbs in her basket. "This should be enough to create some painkillers and accelerate the body's natural healing rate." He said with a big grin under his mask scarf. To her surprise.
"I didn't know that herbs can accelerate a body's healing rate." Haku asked, genuinely surprised.
"Most healers on practice in healing ninjutsu. They ignore many of plants that our planet gives us. There is so many different plants I use and found and apparently there is more undiscovered." Surprising Haku even more. She even took note to that. It would help if she gathered more herbs of different kind to try to create better healing medicine.
"You should be getting to your friend ma'am." Naruto got up.
Haku was still on her knees looking at the herbs and saw instruction to create the medicine that he was talking about. "Before you go, you should now, I'm a boy." she tried to pass off.
Naruto took another look at her and tilt his head. "Are you sure. You're not a trap?" Naruto asked innocently, but was laughing inside his head with Kurama giving a small chuckle as well. The fox was well aware of Naruto's encounter with 'Traps.' Haku tense up at the question. She was about to say something, but Naruto beat her to it. "You know a trap. As in a boy looking like a girl or vise-versa. I have a friend that is a trap or claims to be one. I still can't tell because he or she won't say anything." Naruto said as he touch his storage ring. Haku could have swore that the sapphire gave out a ray of light for a second. "You're on the right path Haku. Protecting someone precious to you will give you the strength you need." He took the words right out of her mouth. Naruto then started to walk away before she can say anything. "Oh before I forget." He then threw something at Haku who caught it due to her reflex acting up. She immediately drew senbons, ready for a fight. She then took a look at the object she caught to see it was a letter. "Give that to Zabuza. It's my mission to deliver that to him. Tell him to give me his answer on the bridge in three days. Later Kunoichi-chan!" Naruto then turn to ice. Surprising her greatly.
'Is he from the Yuki clan like me?' She thought that Naruto was using Hyoton. Before she can ask him, the ice crack and exploded into snowflakes. 'I have to tell Zabuza-sama about him. She then look at the letter and saw an official seal, but didn't recognize it due to her not knowing much about important people seals.
{Zabuza's Hideout}
Haku quickly return to the hideout and told Zabuza everything.
"THE MAGUS KILLER! THE YOUNGEST S-RANK SHINOBI!" Zabuza shouted in pure shock. He never expected his opponent to be him.
"Zabuza-sama, you know this person?" She asked, curious about him.
"Ya. He's a kid that came from nowhere. At the age of 12, he became a S-Rank Shinobi, he is considered the fastest person alive when he fought against the Raikage and won. He goes all around the world and help out. He also has mokuton and hyoton." Zabuza gave a brief introduction of Naruto. Naruto is a popular guy and almost everyone knows about him. Mainly for his ability or his good nature.
"Hyoton?" Haku asked. Wondering if he was a relative of hers.
"Ya, hyoton like you. I don't know if you two are related though. I know that it was confirm that he used A and S rank hyoton jutsu. Dammit, why is that guy not helping us with the Bloodline Purge!?" Zabuza shouted in frustration. He is working for Gato to fund the rebels, while this guy is here.
"Zabuza, there is also this letter that he gave me to give to you and told me to tell you that you should give your answer tomorrow." She handed him. Zabuza was surprise to see the Mizukage's seal on the letter. He then started to read it.
Zabuza
Where are you? The civil war ended a few month ago. Ever since the Magus Killer and his friends join us last year, we finally turn the tides. Yagura is dead and I became the new Mizukage. I was tired of waiting for you and Haku-chan, so I sent the Magus Killer to find you.
The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi
Get back here or I'll kill you
Zabuza was speechless. The war was over for months and he didn't know. He was working for scum like Gato this entire time for no reason. "GODDAMNIT!" He screamed.
{One Day Later on the Almost Finish Bridge}
Naruto, Krulcifer, Xenovia, and Tazuna were at the bridge early in the morning to hear Zabuza's answer. Zabuza and Haku finally showed up.
"So you use my recipe." Naruto asked Haku. She only nodded. Naruto's recipe for accelerating healing factor really worked. At first she was skeptical about the recipe Naruto left in her basket, but seeing as Zabuza trust him due to the letter, she followed the instruction and made it. To her surprise, it work very well. It would have took a few more days to heal Zabuza, but Naruto's medicine work in one day. She kept the recipe to use in the future. "It's nice to see you up and about Zabuza. Sorry about last time" Naruto said as he gave a chuckle. He then turn to Xenovia who was looking embarrassed. "Someone got excited in fighting a swordsman."
"Brat, is it true that the war is over?" Zabuza asked him directly even though the letter was enough evidence for him. The handwriting of the letter and the last message matches Mei.
"Ya. I fought and killed Yagura myself." Naruto bragged about it as if it wasn't a big deal.
"Goddamnit! All this time I was away from my home and the war was over!" Zabuza shouted.
"You're just stupid." Naruto said. "So, what's your answer. Become a rogue ninja where I have to beat you up and drag you to Kiri, so Mei can straighten you out or will you come quietly?" Naruto asked.
"Ah, just take me home brat." Zabuza said tiredly. He really didn't like the news because it cost him time. "But first~" He drew the Executioner Blade with a bloodthirsty grin. "I want to see if you really are powerful."
"If you want to fight Emiya-sama, then you'll have to-" Xenovia declared before Naruto walk forward.
"No problem, but let's keep this a match between swordsman." He then reach for his ring to pull out his sword. Out came a black katana with a green edge inside a black sheath(1). He then set it on his left side of his hip and drew his katana. "Ready Asuramaru?" He asked the blade. Confusing those that didn't understand.
"Oh, you're bringing me out. It's been a long time Naru~" Asuramaru spoke.
"What the fuck?" Was the response from Zabuza, Haku, and Tazuna.
"Hey kunoichi-chan! You better go stand by my friends. This is about to get intense." Naruto said with his own bloodthirsty grin. She look towards Zabuza for orders and he nodded his head to tell her to go be with them. "I may not be a great swordsman, but I can overwhelm you, Zabuza." He then cut his hand and allow blood to flow down the blade. "Suck my blood, Asuramaru." Zabuza had a bad feeling about this fight and that blade. It was then a pure evil aura erupted around Naruto. Black miasma erupted around Naruto. It could only be describe in one word, demonic. "Asura-Kannon!" Many blades form in the shape of a fan behind Naruto and he then charge at Zabuza. He finally got over the shock and use the size of his blade to block the incoming attacks.
"What the hell?!" Tazuna shouted in fear of the presence. Haku was shivering in fear as well. It was then that Krulcifer activated a ward to protect them from Asuramaru's aura. Tazuna finally calm down. "What the hell is that!?" He frantically point to Naruto.
"That's a demon, Tazuna-san." Krulcifer answered.
"D-Demon?" Haku and Tazuna asked in fear.
"Yes a demon. Before you judge, listen to Xenovia first." Krulcifer told them.
Xenovia then went to tell the story, but leave out some key details about the world.
Flashback
{Germany}
By this time, Naruto was well known to the Twilight World and Elemental Nation. He made many enemies because of his father, but also made many friends.
"Asuramaru!" Naruto screamed out. He was in panic for his friend.
Asuramaru is one of the Dead Apostle Ancestor that only feed on humanity for blood. Besides that, he... she... it... won't do much against humanity. He...she..., you know what, I'm going to call Asuramaru she because of her appearance. She heard news of Naruto and decided to pay a little visit a while back. At first, it was just a vampire bothering Naruto, but Asuramaru eventually got to him and they became friends. She decided to have a secret house in Germany to hang out with Naruto. In her opinion, Naruto was fun to be with and is very interesting. Plus his blood was divine. I mean literally, he is a demigod. She enjoyed all the blood pack that Naruto offers her. Naruto even took it to another level by using his blood in cooking for Asuramaru only, which she enjoyed. They often banter about Asuramaru's gender, but she will always act like a girl one day with her appearance, then boy next day with her voice and change of personality. It was confusing because her body suggest female, but at the same time doesn't. Her personality is the same, so Naruto made it his mission to discover the truth without flipping her skirt.
Currently, Asuramaru was being possessed by a demon. This never happened before. A demon possessing a ancestor and not a human. Naruto held her in his hands while she fought against the demon trying to take over her body.
"Kurama! Can you help her!?" Naruto asked his fox god.
[I can't do anything. If I try, I can kill her. Her body is transforming into a demon right now. If I use my power, then she will be destroyed.] Kurama told Naruto. Much to his frustration.
"N-N-Naru." She whispered, while fighting the demon. "There is one way to save me. Imprison me into something that Kurama purify."
"But that will kill you!"
"It's the only chance we have."
Naruto look at her, seeing her in pain. He then ran out to grab the Kusanagi that he claim from Orochimaru. He and Asuramaru were modifying it to meet Naruto's standard. With Asuramaru's help, they broke the unbreakable blade and redesign it to a black katana with green edge. Naruto wanted blue, but Asuramaru wanted green and Naruto lost the armwrestling match. Naruto came back, while applying some special runes on the katana. It was then that Asuramaru entered the blade to save herself.
Entering the blade sort of work. The possession work, but didn't at the same time. Asuramaru turn into a demon, but she was still in control of her body. Since then, she wanted to stay with Naruto. Being in the front seat to everything and get to drink his blood anytime she wants was too good to leave. There was also the fact that she was a demon and the demon that tried to possess her is dormant inside her. The katana was keeping the demon at bay, so she had to deal with living inside of the sword. It wasn't all bad, she had a straight connection to Kurama and had Naruto at all times. Overall, it was enjoyable. Good food and good entertainment. Nothing really change for her.
End of Flashback
"Wow. So it was Naruto's friend that was possessed by a demon, so to save her, he put her in that blade." Tazuna asked.
"Ya. She doesn't mind much. She is still the same Asuramaru, but with demonic powers. Demons are evil, that's fact, but this is a special case." Xenovia said with her own experience from being a former Executioner. "It's the reason why there is such an evil presence now, but the person in charge of that power isn't evil." She couldn't say good either because she is a dead apostate ancestor.
During the tale, Naruto and Zabuza fought. Solely using kenjutsu. Naruto overwhelm Zabuza with the many blades, but eventually got the better of him. It ended with Zabuza as the winner.
"I'll give it to you. You got power, brat." Zabuza said with a big smirk. Fighting off so many swords was difficult, but Naruto had no technique in it.
"Ya. I need to work on my swordsmanship." Naruto sheath Asuramaru.
"Wait. Let me stay outside from now on Naru." Asuramaru requested. He usually keep her in his storage ring, but she seems to want to be out now.
"Sure. No problem." Naruto left her in his left hip.
"Zabuza! You traitor!" A short man shouted from the other side of the bridge with an army of bandits.
"Gato!" Tazuna and Zabuza said in unison with great disdain for the short man.
"He's Gato?!" Naruto began to laugh. "You were terrorized by a midget! Hahhahahaha!"
Gato gritted his teeth. "You damn brat! Just hand over the bridge builder or I will send my army to kill everyone in town!"
"Sorry that isn't going to happen." Naruto stood up strong with Xenovia and Krulcifer with him. Naruto then stroke Asuramaru. Sending out a small taste of her power. Frightening Gato and his men.
"G-give up the builder or his daughter pays." Gato threaten, while trembling from the power.
"Gato you bastard!" Tazuna started to walk up to surrender himself to save his daughter. It was then Naruto stops him.
"Tazuna don't worry."
"But he has Tsunami!"
"Well-
Flashback
Before they left to the bridge, Naruto went out of the house first. He went through a series of hand seals.
"Summoning Jutsu-Kitsune!" Naruto slam his hand into the ground. A puff of smoke came out of his hand, along with a dog-size white kitsune with two tails.
"Naruto-sama! How can I help you?" She asked happily.
"Yuki, I need you to watch over the woman and boy inside this house. Protect them."
"Hai Naruto-sama!" She then went to look for a good hiding place.
Yuki is Naruto personal fox summon. She is a snow white fox and daughter of the boss kitsune. When Naruto summon her for the first time she was excited. She enjoyed her time serving Naruto as a fighter and friend. She was the one that befriended Illya because she was the one to deliver letters to each other. Most of the time, she would spend time with Illya and the world outside the Veil. She was one of the very few to see the rest of the world.
End of Flashback
"R-really." Tazuna asked desperately.
"Trust Yuki. She can fight Chunin level shinobi. A couple of bandits are nothing to a shinobi." Naruto replied. Relieving the old man. He then turn to Gato and his army. "Now let's deal with you."
"What are you going to do brat! You can't-"
BANG
Naruto fired his Thompson Contender at Gato and killed him. The sound surprised everyone, but the girls. Tazuna was still new to guns and the others were wondering about that weapon.
"What the?
"What the hell was that?"
"Hey guys! Gato is dead!"
"What!?"
The thugs began to shout about Gato's death.
"You bastard! If you took away our meal ticket, we're going to take everything away from you. Starting with those two girls!" The newly elected leader declared. He and the rest started to charge.
"Like hell you are." Naruto muttered darkly. He then drew his two FN Five-Seven and began to fire at the crowd.
"Damnit. Trace on" Naruto said. He ran through both clips and use Tracing to reload his guns. He continued to fire as his friends and allies watch in amazement. They were mainly curious about his weapons.
"Enough!" Xenovia shouted. She reach into the hair with the hand that had her storage ring and chanted in English. No one, but Naruto and Krulcifer understood her "Petra, Basilius, Dionysus, and Mary, the Holy Mother. Hear my voice." It was then a golden circle appear at her fingertips and a large blue sword came out wrap in chains. She reach for it and pulled it out. "The Holy Sword, Ex-Durandal!" She showed her sword in all it's glory.
"What is that?" Zabuza asked as he whistle at the impressive sword.
"It's Ex-Durandal. A special sword that Naruto-kun help make." Krulcifer answered. Haku took notice to the name and figured it to be the true name of the Magus Killer. "After with heavy modification, it's able to split anything in the world and we traveled a lot. So far, the names as the Peerless Sword stays true to its' reputation." That surprised Zabuza. To hear that such a powerful sword exist.
Xenovia then swung the sword and killed the rest of the bandits, but also destroyed part of the bridge.
"MY BRIDGE!"
"That was a little overkill Xenovia." Naruto said as he went over to give her a kiss. "But thanks."
"Ah man!" A little kid whine. Everyone turn around to see Inari with the rest of the town armed.
"You're late, but we killed Gato!" Naruto shouted to them. Everyone cheered. Their nightmare is finally over. Inari was crying tears of joy as he ran up to Naruto to give him a hug.
A few days later.
Naruto told Zabuza that they would go back to Kiri after finishing the bridge. Naruto and Xenovia worked hard on rebuilding the part that she broke and the rest of the bridge. Naruto had gain enough experience where he would start using Time Alter to speed up the process. They finish the bridge in five days with Naruto's help. At the finish bridge, Naruto, Xenovia, and Krulcifer were saying goodbye to the people of Waves.
"Will we see you again Naruto-nii?" Inari asked tearfully. He grew close to Naruto during the three days. He work along with Naruto and spent time with him.
Naruto messed up Inari's hair as he rubbed it. "Of course squirt. If you want to find me, just send a letter to the Land of Spring. See ya everyone!" Naruto waved goodbye.
"It was nice spending time with you Tsunami-san" Krulcifer said her goodbye. Then the group of went down to the ship waiting to take them back to Kiri.
"What should we call the bridge?" Tsunami asked her father.
"How about the Super Sexy Tazuna Bridge?" He joked. Only to get a boo from the crowd. "Che, Tough crowd."
"How about the Great Naruto Bridge?" Inari recommended. Many people like the name considering it was the name of their hero. Apparently his name in Waves became the worst kept secret, but it didn't matter much at this point.
"Haha. That's a great name!" Tazuna then walked up to the front of the bridge. "The Great Naruto Bridge!" Then everyone cheered.
{One week Later}
We find a group of shinobi walking to the coast in the Land of Fire. The group consist of a black haired boy, pink haired girl, a red haired girl and a silver haired man. These three people had the Konoha headband on them. The black haired boy is Sasuke Uchiha, son of Fugaku Uchiha of the famous Uchiha clan. Next was Sakura Haruno, a civilian girl being a shinobi. The last child is Mito Namikaze and she is the daughter of the Fourth Hokage and she looks like her mother. Their sensei, Kakashi Hatake and teacher of Team 7.
Team 7 was sent to the Land of Waves after abandoning the mission in the first place.
"Sigh Sensei." Kakashi said quietly as he remembered what happen.
Flashback
Konoha, one of the great shinobi village. Home to many of powerful shinobi. The village was doing fine from the outside, but in the inside is another story.
Ever since the death of their jinchuuriki, Naruto Uzumaki, the village went down a darker path. Danzo Shimura, one of the elders of Konoha, began to take drastic measures. Danzo wouldn't allow Konoha be weak, so he slowly began to kidnap children from family, orphanage, even clans. He manage to get away with it due to the Third Hokage having no proof. Danzo indoctrinate these kids into his ROOT program. The only one trying to solve the mysterious disappearance were the Uchiha Police Force. Considering that the Hokage isn't helping the children, Fugaku, captain of the police force gain a lot of influence, much to Danzo's anger.
One month after the death of Naruto Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Namikaze showed up to Konoha with their daughter. There were mixed emotions about their arrival. Some say that the demon brat's death resurrect them. That was how they learn about Naruto Uzumaki's fate. Much to their anger.
The civilian welcome them back, but most shinobi clan heads and shinobis were angry with him. He abandon not only his son, but Konoha as well. It showed that Minato couldn't be trusted when it came to Konoha, so the results were Minato became a figurehead. The civilians wanted Minato back and the village needed a strong presence to ward off war, so he was left as the Fourth Hokage, but had very little power. Fugaku mainly lead the shinobi force and many clan heads and other shinobis wouldn't listen to Minato anymore and only listen to Fugaku.
Fugaku new found reputation and influence made the Uchiha more respected. The Uchiha clan became the symbol of Konoha, but there was one that disapprove. Danzo didn't like it because he didn't trust the Uchiha clan at all. He then launch a coup d'etat to take control of Konoha and massacre the Uchiha clan. Of course, the coup d'etat fail, but it manage to kill half of the Uchiha clan. Danzo ran away after the failed coup and Fugaku became a hero for stopping the civil war that Danzo almost caused. Danzo was mark as a S-Rank shinobi with a kill on sight. He had too much information and had no problem kidnapping children anywhere. Many countries watch their border to Konoha because Danzo station his new ROOT base in the Land of Fire.
Kushina wasn't doing well. After hearing that her home killed her son hit her hard. To hear that it was her fault that Naruto was beaten, abused, slept on the streets, and much more sent her into a depression. She would have stayed like that if she wasn't pregnant at the time with another daughter. She vow to protect this child when she failed Naruto. The Namikaze new daughter is Natsumi Namikaze.
Mito was devastated to hear that her twin was killed. She train to get stronger, so she can fight for him and her. She still believe that Naruto wanted to protect Konoha. Even though, she would never be powerful like a kage, she would keep on training.
The village really didn't care about Naruto being the son of their hero. They would bad mouth him at any chance they got and ended up getting sent to the hospital by Kushina. Mito and Minato had too much love for Konoha to hurt the civilians.
After Team 7 return with Mito poison by the Demon Brothers. Minato may have been a figurehead, but he had some power. He rejected Tazuna proposal for high rank mission. He was aiming for a trading contract that Konoha get exclusive access. However, Tazuna left, so they waited for him to come back.
"Sensei, why are is my team going to the Land of Waves? I thought you rejected Tazuna." Kakashi asked.
"I was hoping that Tazuna would come back to get our help. It seems like I was wrong. You're mission is to go to Waves and to protect him, while he builds the bridge. Then you will get him to sign a contracting giving us 50% off on products and an exclusive trading contract with only Konoha." Minato told Kakashi.
"So we're replacing one tyrant with another one?" Kakashi asked. Not believing that his sensei has fallen this low.
"You will do what your Hokage commands of you." Minato said with authority.
End of Flashback
"Things have changed." Kakashi said as he remembers about the time before Kyuubi's attack. He was one of the people that have their opinion of Minato going down. He is still holding onto the good man he once was, but it's sinking. The duty of Hokage and his love for Konoha is destroying the man. He understood that Konoha will need all the power they can get due to the lost of their jinchuuriki. Minato made up a lie saying that Naruto wasn't the true jinchuuriki and Mito was the real one. People love Mito, but still hated Naruto. It was easier for them that way. He then walk up to the ferry driver while the kids stayed behind. "Sir, can you take us to the Land of Waves."
The man gave him a 'are you stupid' look. "I can, but why?"
"We need a way to get to the island." Kakashi answered him as if that was a stupid question.
"Why don't you take the bridge." He pointed the bridge.
Kakashi was greatly surprise. "There goes the mission, but I still have to ask about the deal." He then went back to his team and lead them to the bridge. Kakashi was against the plan to use the Land of Waves. His moral didn't change much after Minato's return, but he still followed orders.
"The Great Naruto Bridge?" Kakashi read sadly. He missed Naruto greatly. He was one of the few to care for him, but was never able to get a smile from him. Mito look sad as well.
"Nii-san." She muttered out. "I guess people like the name, Naruto." It was still believe that Naruto died considering that they have a body at his grave. Well the body was more of a mess up body that Kiritsugu got from a nearby Konoha civilian boy that was dared to see the demon boy's body. Kiritsugu had no problem harming innocent children considering that Konoha has killed a child, so why not have a child die that day. A story was told that the boy that went out was drag to hell by the demon brat's spirit.
They then went out to look for Tazuna. Only to find the entire town still celebrating. They finally found Tazuna.
"Tazuna-san!" Kakashi said to get his attention.
"You!" Tazuna said darkly. He hated Konoha for abandoning him, trying to rip him off, and for what they did to Naruto. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to protect you, while you build the bridge." Kakashi said while trying to see if he can get this done for Konoha.
"Ha! It's already done!" He then started to walk away.
"Wait. Can we work out a trading contract?"
"Like hell we can. We finally got rid of the tyrant, Gato. I don't plan on having another. We gave in once and paid the price. We won't bow again!"
"Wait! Can you at least tell us why you name the bridge Naruto?!" Mito asked. She wanted to know. Seeing as this is the only way to get close to her dead brother.
"It's one of the name of the man that save our country." Trying to hide Naruto name. By saying this, it suggested that this man has many names to go by.
"Who?" Kakashi asked.
"The Magus Killer. Now leave our country." He then left.
"The Magus Killer!?" All of Team 7 shouted.

Author Note
1: It's Asuramaru from Owari no Seraph.
At this point, Naruto is pretty much an original character. He doesn't have any quality from canon. If you don't like it, then deal with it. All the things from outside that doesn't seem like it fit with Naruto, you can guess that it my own quality that I'm portraying onto him.
You will see me use Japanese words than english words from time to time. That problem will be a constant with me.
Chapter 2,3,4 were originally one chapter, but I split it up. I was planning to make it all chapter two, but change my mind and divided it into three chapters. If you complain that any of these three chapters are too short, keep in mind that they were originally one chapter. This is the longest I ever wrote :).
For everyone, look at my Bio! I mean it! I will start posting up there about the status of my current story and the next one. If you ask when I'm posting or working on it, I won't answer it anymore. Just look at it. I will include the story status and include the date of updating the status. I will post up there as what story I will work on, so if you're impatient, read it to find out about my progress. I'll try to keep you updated, but I have a life of my own, so I won't have time to do it all the time.
