A/N – Hey guys. This is the start of the Wave Arc. Now for the review replies:

Ryuujin96 – Thanks. Yeah teleportation is the second as Minato is a teleportation type and telekinesis is the rarest type of the three as it can be the most dangerous used correctly. You team question will be answered in this chapter. Also his abilities will impact events.

ZeroKaze – Thanks, each affinity has a reason that I think suits them better than the canon affinities; Choji's is the same, Shino's is the same, Hinata's canon affinity is boring I think water suits her better and I have a surprise for her, Kiba's is the same, Shikamaru's is because the speed of Raiton will help with his family's jutsu, Sasuke's and Sakura's are canon and Naruto's is for the reason stated in the last chapter and canon. The rushed parts will be explored more later.

MusicPlayer 31 – Thanks

MidnightHunter563 – Thanks, this chapter will be for you.

Silvery Crimson Moon – Thanks

Thor94 – Thanks

ZirconK – Thanks, he is and has more.

Louis Romero – Thanks and it will be.

Stormbane – Thanks and I may but not sure yet. I have planned the story with and without her just deciding. I'll put a poll up for it.

Arc 3 – Wave Arc

Chapter 7 – Traitor and Teamwork:

Uzukaze Basement –

Naruto looked into the centre of the room, there hovering above a podium, illuminated by a light was a black/crimson red liquid moving and contorting in the air. Naruto was confused and fascinated at the same time.

"Wow." Was all he could say.

"That was mine, Kushina and Nazo's reaction when we first saw it as well." Minato said, amused at his son.

"What is it?"

"It's called the Henka Kūeki (Transforming Air Liquid), no-one knows when it was created but I was found by Sentin Uzumaki, the clan's founder. No-one in the clan can wield it since him as it won't change into either of its forms." Nazo informed.

"What are the forms?" Naruto asked.

"Either two Ninjato or a staff. Go up to it and see if it reacts."

"Ok." Naruto said as he slowly walked up to the Henka Kūeki. Nothing happened until he stood in front of it and outstretched his hand to it.

It became to spiral around his arm behind his back and spiralled down his other arm until it reached his hand and started to change shape into a long thin black staff with a crimson spiral pattern. At the end was the Uzukaze clan symbol embedded in the material. There were also two jolt outs at the same end with a single ring on the right side.

"So it is true." Nazo said loud enough for them all to hear.

"What's true Nazo?" Kushina asked.

"There was a prophecy said by the Ogama Sage (Great Toad Sage) that said that there will be child born of both of our clans, he will have all three branches of the Shinseigyo bloodline also Sentin said that the Henka Kūeki will chose that child." Nazo said.

"That's amazing." Minato said.

"Yeah I always knew Naruto was special, this just proves it." Kushina said.

"Um Nazo-Oji, why's is there a ring on one side and not the other?" Naruto asked as he looked at the staff.

"The rings indicate how strong you are. The stronger you are, the more rings will materialized until there are five rings on either side." Nazo answered.

"Wow. That's amazing. By the way how do I transform it back?"

"Just think about it and it'll turn back."

Naruto took that information and thought about it and the Henka Kūeki turned back into the liquid and orbited around him.

"Naruto think about a bracelet."

Naruto did just that and the Henka Kūeki transformed into a crimson red and black-trimmed bracelet around his right wrist.

"This is so cool."

"Naruto come on we need to go." Minato said.

"OK." Naruto said as he walked away from the podium and to the three. "Can we all go to your study Tou-san?"

"Why Naruto?" Minato asked.

"I'll tell you when we get there." Naruto said.

"Ok." Minato replied, but was racking his brain to think what Naruto could want to tell them.

"So you're going to get their help?" Kurama asked.

"Yeah, I have a feeling that the person Mizuki-teme is meeting is too strong for me." Naruto replied.

"That's true."

Minato's Study –

Everyone entered the study. Minato sat at his desk, Kushina and Nazo sat on the chairs opposite to him and Naruto stood between them.

"Ok Naruto what is it you wanted to tell us?" Minato asked.

"Ok so here's the deal. Mizuki is planning to steal the Fūin no Shotonight." Naruto said.

"What!?" Minato shouted. "ANB…"

"No don't" Naruto interrupted.

"Why do you want to let him Naru-kun?" Kushina asked.

"Kurama and Byakko smell something off about Mizuki and they think that it's the scent of his contact." Naruto answered.

"So you want me to let him steal a copy of the FūinnoShoand you're going to follow him?" Minato asked.

"Yeah, I'll take one of your kunai and when I see Mizuki meet his contact I'll channel chakra into it to signal you." Naruto explained.

"Fine but just so you know I'm not happy about it." Kushina said.

"It's fine Kaa-chan. I'm a genin of Konoha now so this could be like my first mission." Naruto said.

"Ok so Naruto Uzukaze I hereby assign you the S-rank mission of 'Follow Mizuki to his contact.' Now go and prepare." Minato said.

"Ok." Naruto said as he walked out the room.

"Are you crazy Mina-kun?" Kushina asked in a scarily calm tone.

Minato stood and walked up to her

"Kushina-chan, he'll be ok. He's our son after all also he's not going to be fighting alone we'll be there. So just stay calm." Minato said as he rubbed her shoulders.

"He better be Minato." Kushina said as she walked out the room to prepare for the mission.

"Why do I feel like this may be my last day on Earth?" Minato asks.

"Because it will be if anything happens. Aside from me and Naruto, you know her best and you know not to piss her off." Nazo said as he walked out with a small laugh.

"Oh dear Kami he better be ok tonight." Minato said as he walked out.

Roof Near Hokage's Office –

Naruto stood on the roof looking at the office watching Mizuki sneak into the office and break into the vault behind the picture of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

"He must have drugged the ANBU guarding the office. I'll have to tell Kaa-chan and Tou-san to put better seals on the vault." Naruto said to himself.

Mizuki came out of the vault with the FūinnoShoand jumped out the window he came in through and took off across the rooftops. Naruto followed the man.

"Kurama, Byakko can you mask my chakra?" Naruto asked.

"Ok." Kurama and Byakko said in unison.

Naruto felt his chakra disappear and continued following Mizuki.

Clearing Miles outside of Konoha –

Naruto had been following Mizuki of about an hour when he stopped in a clearing. "It's about time he stopped." Naruto whispered as he settled on a tree branch waiting for Mizuki's contact.

It had been another hour before the contact arrived, he was a man wearing a full body cloak with his hood up but there was a bit of grey hair hanging out.

"That's the contact Kit." Kurama said.

"Do you smell that?" Byakko asked.

"Yeah he smells like snakes." Kurama replied.

"I better get the others." Naruto thought.

He stabbed the kunai into the tree and channeled chakra into it. After a few seconds Minato, Kushina and Nazo appeared.

"They're down there." Naruto said as he pointed to Mizuki and the cloaked man.

"Have you seen the cloaked man's face?" Minato asked.

"No but Kurama and Byakko smell the scent of snake on him also he has grey hair." Naruto said.

"Snakes? The only person I know that had a connection to snakes is Orochimaru but he has black hair." Kushina said.

"Do you have a plan?" Naruto asked.

"Follow my lead." Minato said as the family jumped off the branch into the clearing. "Mizuki, chunin of Konohagakure, you are under arrest for the theft of the Fūin no Sho. Surrender or die."

"Crap, Mizuki you idiot I can't believe you were trusted with this job." The cloaked man said in distorted voice and he dissolved and collapsed into a pile of Earth meaning he was a Doton: Kage Bushin (Earth Release: Shadow Clone).

"Damn he escaped. Now surrender Mizuki." Minato ordered.

Mizuki lowered his head, knowing he was out matched against the Hokage, his wife and one of the most powerful Uzukaze. Kushina ran straight to him and put a Chakra Suppression Seal on his forehead and took the Hitai-ate off him.

The escorted him back to Konoha and to the Hokage Office.

Hokage's Office -

When they got back Minato called the ANBU to take Mizuki to Hozuki Castle. Once they left Minato turned to Naruto.

"Well done Naruto you have completed your first S-rank mission. I'll have your reward sent to your bank account." He said.

"Thanks Tou-san. Now I need to get some sleep, team assigning is tomorrow." Naruto said.

"Ok let's go." Minato said as the four walked out the office.

Academy –

It was the next day and Naruto was sat in his usual spot in the class waiting for Iruka to arrive. He turned to Hinata, who had her new Hitai-ate hanging around her neck.

"So we both graduated the academy." Naruto said.

"Yeah Naruto-kun, I wonder which teams we'll be on." Hinata said.

"I dunno, you'll most likely be on a tracking team or assault team and the same with me."

"How can you be on a tracking team Naruto-kun?"

"With my telepathy I can track people and my seals can help. Also I have slightly heightened senses."

"Wow Naruto-kun. So there's the chance of us being on the same team."

"Yeah."

At this moment Iruka walked in and stood in front of the class. All the class looked at him with confusion except for Naruto. Sakura was the one to voice her confusion.

"Iruka-sensei, where's Mizuki-sensei?" She asked.

"Mizuki has been arrested for stealing the Fūin no Sho." Iruka replied. This shocked all of the students except Naruto. "Anyway let's get to the team assignment. Team 1 will consist of…" Iruka went Team 1 to Team 6, which were full of civilian. "Team 7 will consist of Naruto Uzukaze, Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuuga and your jonin sensei will be Kakashi Hatake."

"What!? Why does Hinata get to be with Sasuke-kun!?" Sakura shouted.

"As Team 7 is an all-round team, they each have an ability for tracking and have powerful taijutsu and ninjutsu. Now the next is Team 8 which will consist of Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame and Sakura Haruno and your jonin sensei will be Kurenai Yuhi. You shall be the tracking team."

"Why am I on a tracking team?"

"As a tracking team will need diversity, you are the attacker. Team 9 is still on duty by Might Guy so Team 10 will consist of Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi and your jonin sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi. You'll be an assault team, so now congratulations to everyone and your jonin sensei will be coming by to collect you." Iruka finished as he walked out the room.

After 10 minutes the jonin senseis for Team 1-6 came and took their respective teams and then Kurenai and Asuma walked in.

"Team 8 follow me." She said as she walked out the room followed by Team 8.

"Team 10 with me." He said as he walked out followed by Team 10.

Once all the team left except Team 7, Naruto spoke up. "This is gunna be a long wait."

"Why's that Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked.

"Yeah why'd you say that?" Sasuke asked.

"Kakashi-nii has this tendency to be 'fashionably late' to everything apart from Hokage meetings and S-rank missions." Naruto said as he stood and walked to Iruka's desk and took out a bit of paper and wrote a note and stuck it to the board, then walked to the door. "Want to get some Ramen? I'm paying."

Hinata and Sasuke looked at each other and nodded before they dot up and followed Naruto.

Ichiraku Ramen –

Team 7 walked into the stand and sat on the stools. "Hey Ayame-chan, how are you?" Naruto asked.

"I'm good Naruto-kun. What can I get ya?" Ayame asked.

"I'll have a Miso Ramen." Naruto said.

"I'd like a Shio Ramen please." Hinata said.

"And I'll have a Shoyu Ramen." Sasuke said.

"Ok I'll be back soon." Ayame replied as she went into the back.

Team 7 started talking amongst themselves for 10 minutes until Ayame came back with their orders. "Here you go you guys."

"Thanks." They all said in unison. "Itadakimasu!"

They ate their ramen and just as they finished Kakashi walked in.

"It's about time Kakashi-nii." Naruto said.

"I hate you Naruto." Kakashi deadpanned.

"I love you to Kakashi-nii." Naruto said, sarcastically.

"Let's just go." Kakashi said as he turned around and walked out the stand.

Naruto quickly put the payment plus tip on the counter and ran after Kakashi along with Hinata and Sasuke.

Academy Roof –

Team 7 were on the academy roof, Kakashi was leaning against the railing with the genin opposite him on a bench with Naruto sat on top of it.

"Ok, let's get to know each other." Kakashi said.

"Could you go first Kakashi-sensei?" Hinata asked.

"Fine, I'm Kakashi Hatake. I have likes and dislikes. I don't really have a dream for the future and I have lots of hobbies." Kakashi said.

"Very informative there Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said.

"Well then you go first Blondie."

"Oh you're gunna pay for that. Anyway I'm Naruto Uzukaze; I like ramen, my friends, my family, Hinata and training. I dislike traitors and certain man. My dream is to live up to something and be happy. And my hobbies are training, hanging out with my family and Hinata-chan." Naruto said, causing Hinata to blush.

Seeing this Kakashi decided to have fun. "You next Strawberry." He said to her.

"O-ok, my name's Hinata Hyuuga; I like my family, Naruto-kun, cinnamon buns and training. I dislike traitors, the Caged Bird seal and Kumo. My dream is to start a family and unite the Hyuuga. My hobbies are training, hangout with Naruto-kun and playing with Hanabi-chan." Hinata said.

"And finally Red Eyes." Kakashi said.

"Fine, my name's Sasuke Uchiha; I like my family, tomatoes and the Uzukaze clan. I dislike the same man as Naruto. My dream is to get stronger and kill that man with Naruto. And my hobbies are training, hanging out with Naruto and helping Kaa-chan." Sasuke said.

"Ok that's good. Meet me at Training Ground 7 at 7am for the test and I wouldn't have breakfast as you'll just be seeing it again." Kakashi said.

"Test?" Hinata asked.

"The academy test is part one and this test will see if you can be a genin. Only 33% of the teams pass." Kakashi said as he Shunshin'ed away.

"Well do you want to come back to mine to make a plan for tomorrow?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah sure." Sasuke replied.

"Yes Naruto-kun." Hinata replied.

Training Ground Seven –

The genin got there at 7am to see no Kakashi. Naruto turned to the two and said, "Let's put the plan into action." He then created the clone hand sign and two Kage Bushin and the team split up with one Kage Bushin going with Hinata and the other going with Sasuke.

They spent the next couple of hours placing traps and seals all over the training ground. They then returned to the meeting place in front of three wooden posts and a river. They waited for 20 minutes before Kakashi Shunshin'ed in front of them.

"Good morning Team 7." Kakashi said.

"Let's get on with this Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said.

"Fine." Kakashi pulled out two small bells attached to string and a timer. He set the timer to 12pm. "You will have until 12pm to get these two bells from me."

"But there are only two bells Kakashi-sensei." Hinata said.

"Good eye Hinata, yes there are only two bells so only two of you will pass this exam. The other will go back to the academy." Kakashi explained.

"That's strange." Naruto thought.

"What's up cub?" Byakko asked.

"I have never heard of a two-man team."

"So what do you think the real purpose of this test is?" Kurama asked.

"I'm guessing teamwork with the way Kakashi-nii is."

"Ok you're time starts now." Kakashi said as the genin disappeared. "Good, they are good at stealth."

Naruto was hid in a tree. He pressed his left ear. "Lavender, Red come in," He whispered.

"Lavender here, Kaze."

"Red here, Kaze."

"Let's go with Plan One. So Red go!"

"Roger."

Sasuke jumped out the bush he was hiding in and got Kakashi's attention. Sasuke weaved hand signs and attacked Kakashi with Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique). Kakashi dodged the oncoming fireballs as he was pushed back.

Naruto was watching the jutsu and saw the chance. "Lavender, now!"

Hinata jumped out the water of the river and weaved hand signs and shouted. "Suiton: Mizurappa (Water Release: Wild Water Wave)." Water shot out her mouth like a geyser and headed straight for Kakashi's back. Kakashi turned just in time to see the technique and dodged the jutsu.

"These kids are good. But Naruto hasn't shown himself and that's very unnerving." Kakashi thought.

That's when he heard it "Koton: Hadan (Steel Release: Rupture)." Steel pillars then erupted out the ground in a triangle. Then Naruto landed between the northern pillar and the eastern pillar, Hinata landed between the eastern pillar and the western pillar and Sasuke landed between the western pillar and the northern pillar.

"Let's go guys" Naruto said as he slammed his hand into the ground. "Fuinjutsu: Sanhō Fūin (Sealing Technique: Three Directions Seal)." A light shot from Naruto's hand to the eastern pillar, to Hinata's hand, where she used her chakra to make the seal more powerful, to the western pillar, to Sasuke's hand, where he used his chakra to make the seal more powerful, to the northern pillar and back to Naruto, the light then shot from the three to a point in the air. This all happened in a matter of seconds.

Naruto then made a hand sign and seals on the floor inside the barrier lit up and Kakashi slowed down. Hinata and Sasuke placed a tag on their arms and walked into the barrier, but didn't slow down and grabbed the bells from Kakashi's belt and stood next to Naruto.

Naruto released the barrier, "Hinata-chan." Naruto said.

"Yes Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked.

"I'm gunna need you to catch me." He said just before he collapsed.

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata shouted as she catches him.

Once the barrier was down, the pillars retreated into the ground and Kakashi sped up and ran to Naruto. "What happened?" He asked.

"I don't know. Once he released the barrier he collapsed."

"The idiot."

"What happened, Kakashi-sensei?"

"The seal he used was too powerful for him to use and it was too much for him. He'll be fine. I'll take him to Kushina." Kakashi said as he picked up Naruto and started to walk to the Uzukaze compound, until he turned his head back to Hinata and Sasuke. "You pass the test. Meet at Ichiraku Ramen tomorrow at 9 to start missions." He said with a small smile.
