Got the next chapter done, and it's time for the fight on the bridge! I feel the fight is a bit rushed, but with Aria being a powerful Lilim there wasn't much I could do to make it epic. Still, I hope you all enjoy reading it!

"Why the hell would they let me sleep in like that!" Naruto complained as he jumped through the tree's. "You've been training more than usual. It only seemed reasonable to let you sleep" Aria said as she flew next to him.

"Something wrong?" Aria asked after the blond stopped on a tree. "We're going back!" the blond said as he turned around and jumped as fast as he could in the direction they just came from. 'What's that all about?' Aria thought as she looked down at what Naruto had seen. 'Tch, so that's Gato's plan' Aria thought before taking off after the blond.

Tazuna's house

"Stop!" Inari said to the two men taking Tsunami away. "Well, if it isn't the little tough guy" the taller of the two men said. "Inari!" the woman called out. "How cute. You've come to save your mommy" the man that spook before said. "You, better get away from my mom!" Inari yelled as he started running at the men. "Inari, no!" Tsunami told the boy.

"Hehe, this kids a little short on brains, don't cha think?" the man asked. "Take him down" the smaller man said as the two prepared to draw their swords. "If you hurt him, I swear I'll-gah" Tsunami was saying when the shorter guy knocked her out. "Take a nap would ya" the man said as Tsunami dropped to the dock unconscious.

the two men cut through Inari, only for him to be switched with a log at the last second. "The substitution jutsu!" the smaller man said. "the woman, she's gone!" the other man said.

"Sorry I'm late. You know, hero's usually show up at the last minute" Naruto said as he put Tsunami down on the dock away from the two men. "Naruto! It's you!" Inari said as the blond put him down next to his mother. "You did great Inari. You gave me enough time to get Tsunami out of there" Naruto told the boy, much to the boy's surprise.

"Naruto, how did you know these samurai would be here?" Inari asked. "Someone cut up a boar, and a bunch of tree's. The cut marks led back to here, so I came as fast as I could" Naruto told the boy. "Blah blah, it's one of those puny shinobi brats Tazuna hired" the taller man said. "Get em" the smaller guy said as his partner agreed.

"There coming!" Inari said. "Not for long" Naruto calmly said as he stood up. Just after he said that the two men were blasted from behind by Aria, sending their unconscious bodies right at Naruto's feet. "They aren't vary powerful are they?" the lilim asked as she walked up to them.

After Naruto tied the men up

"Sorry about the other day" Naruto apologized to Inari. "Huh?" Inari said in slight confusion. "For calling you a coward. It was a bit mean, besides, you proved that you're not a coward" the blond said as he patted the boys head. Only for the boy to start crying.

"Darn it! I promised myself that I wouldn't cry anymore! You're going to make fun of me again and call me a baby, but I can't stop" Inari said as he tried to wipe his tears away. "What are you talking about? Your happy, what's wrong with that? When you're happy, it's okay to cry" the blond told Inari.

"Okay, I have to go help my team. So I'm leaving you in charge" Naruto said before he and Aria took off for the bridge.

The bridge

"You help Kakashi-sensei. I'll help Sasuke" Naruto said as the two got to the bridge to see everyone already fighting. "Oh? Hoping that Sasuke will change into a girl and ravish you if you become her hero?" Aria half jokingly asked. "Just do it!" Naruto told the lilim.

"About time they showed up" Rae quietly said as she maintained the barrier protecting her, Sakura, Tazuna, and Freya. "You are right. Their assistance would be greatly appreciated right now" Freya said, a bit annoyed that Rae wouldn't let her fight. "What are you two talking about?" Sakura asked, just before two blasts of demonic energy went past the barrier. One aimed at Zabuza and the other aimed at the dome of ice mirrors.

"So, she's come to fight again, huh?" Zabuza said as he avoided being hit by the blast that left a small crater where he stood less than a minute ago. "You'll have to do better than that" Zabuza told the lilim. Only to freeze when he heard a crashing sound. Looking at where Haku and Sasuke were fighting, Zabuza saw that a third of the ice mirrors ad been obliterated and the rest were cracked.

'Imposable! Nothing should be able to break Halu's mirrors!' Zabuza thought in disbelieve. "What's with that look? As a lilim, I posses a great deal of power" Aria said as she appeared next to Kakashi. "I could take out this whole area if I wanted. Though that wouldn't be vary good for the mission since Tazuna would have to start building a new bridge. Not to mention I'd take out everyone on the bridge right now if I did" Aria told the rouge shinobi.

'Imposable! To have that kind of power!" Zabuza thought. 'I wonder if she's tell him the full extent of her power. If what I hear about her mother is true, it's entirely possible that she's not saying just how powerful she is' Kakashi thought as he looked at the girl out of the corner of his eye.

"Is she really that powerful?" Sakura asked. "Unfortunately yes. She's the reason I haven't been able to put Naruto on the path of a great hero yet" Freya said. "Lilim are natural powerful beings. Aria's mother, the Demon Lord, has the power of a god, and that power only increases the more she has sex. With as long as Aria has been with Naruto, she's probably more powerful than she's letting on" Rae explained.

"To think I'd get someone like that protecting me and my bridge with the amount of money I spent to hire a team of shinobi" Tazuna said. 'No kidding. I had no idea she was that strong' Sakura thought as she just started at the white haired girl.

With Sasuke

'What the hell was that?' Sasuke thought as he had senbon sticking out of him. 'To take out my ice mirrors with such ease. There's no way I could win against someone like that' Haku thought as she pushed herself off of the ground as the remainder of her ice mirrors shattered.

"Hope I'm not to late" Naruto said as he walked up to the two. 'Naruto came to safe us!' Sasuke's female voice cheered. 'Ignoring me won't make me go away you know?' female Sasuke asked here male counterpart after a minute of him being quiet. 'You're not real! You're just a figment of my imagination!' Sasuke told her. 'Probably, but that still means I'm real to you, and I'm not going anywhere. So just fuck Naruto already!' the voice told the boy. 'I'd rather die!' Sasuke told her.

"Are you able to fight?" Naruto asked. "why do you ask? I'm your enemy after all" Haku told him as she stood up. "I don't want to fight if they can't fight back" the blond said. To answer the blond, Haku came at him with a senbon. Only to have the blond punch her, shattering her already cracked mask.

'That attack did more damage than I thought' Haku thought as she tried to get back up. 'I've failed you Zabuza' the ice user thought, just before she saw Naruto offer to help her up. "You're to hurt to fight. Let me help you, Haku" Naruto said as he held his hand out for the girl to take. 'Why?' the girl thought. "Why do you refuse to finish me?" Haku asked.

"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked, confused by her question. "I'm no longer of any use to Zabuza. I'm nothing but a broken tool now" Haku told him as she thought about her past. "I live to serve Zabuza. He saved me and gave me a purpose in life" Haku told him. "A purpose huh?" Naruto asked as he thought about how his life seemed meaningless until he met Aria.

"I understand what you're saying, but I just can't kill someone that can't defend themselves" Naruto told her. "I see. No matter, it seems I can be of use to Zabuza one last time" Haku said as she formed another ice mirror and went through it. "Wait Haku!" Naruto tried to stop her but was to slow. 'Damn it!' the blond thought.

With Aria

"And here I thought you were suppose to be strong" Aria calmly said as she forced demonic energy into her right arm until a long blade of demonic energy formed around her lower arm. "To be honest I detest killing, but if it means Naruto will be safe, I'll take down anyone that stands before me" Aria said as she narrowed her eyes at the heavily injured man.

'Ha, just like Haku in that regard' Zabuza thought as he stood there, trapped by the dogs Kakashi had summoned. "This is the end of you" Aria calmly said as she rushed at the man with her arm aimed at his heart.

'Wha!?' Both Aria and Zabuza thought as Haku appeared in front of Aria's attack. "Damn it! You stupid girl!' Aria thought as she pulled her arm out of the girls chest. "Well done Haku. You've come through again" Zabuza said as he reised his sword to take out Aria now that he was no longer bound by Kakashi's summons, thanks to Haku hitting the summoning scroll with senbon.

'He's so important to you that you were willing to give your life for him. You poor thing' Aria thought with a sad expression after she jumped out of Zabuza's reach. "Rae, I entrust her to you" Aria said as she put the girl down in front of the barrier. "Understood" Rae said as she expanded the barrier to allow Haku's body inside.

"Zabuza, I have a suggestion for you" Aria said as she turned back to the man. "And what would that be?" the man asked as he used his sword to stay standing. "I offer you a job serving me as protection" Aria said, to everyone's surprise. "Are you insane?! He tried to kill us!" Sakura yelled at the girl, only to be ignored.

"I've already killed more than I'm comfortable with, and I'd rather not have to tell Haku that she gave her life only for you to die" Aria told him as Rae dropped the barrier and began repairing the ice users body. "W-what are you talking about?" Zabuza asked as his vision became blurry due to blood lose. "I'm sure you'll understand when you wake up" Aria said as the man past out.

"Ha! To think that I spent all that money on him. No big deal, I wasn't going to pay him anyway" a short man in a buisness suit said as he stood at the end of the bridge with a small militia of hired bandits. "Kakashi, I'm tired of dealing with this. Could you pick up the trash for me?" Aria asked as she watched Naruto with Sasuke leaning on his shoulder walking up to the rest of them.

"Right" Kakashi calmly said, and with that said the man ran at the group ready to take Gato out.

"How long will it take?" Aria asked as she walked up to Rae. "You shouldn't kill if it effects you this much" Rae said as she finished patching up the girls body. "You didn't answer my question" Aria told the lich. "I'll be finished in roughly two hours" Rae told the lilim. "What are you doing?" Tazuna asked. "I'm bring her back to life" Rae told the man.

After sunset - Tazuna's house

"Ghmm, wha?" Haku asked as she slowly opened her eyes. "I see your finally waking up" Naruto said as he sat next to the futon the girl was sleeping in. "Naruto?" Haku asked as she looked at the boy. "Even with Rae reviving you, it's surprising to see you up so soon" Aria said from where she stood next to the door. "So, I did die. What happened to Zabuza?" the girl asked.

"He's alive, but he probably won't be up for a while" Aria told her. "What do you plan to do?" Haku asked as she stared intensely at the girl that killed her. "I plan to give him a job" Aria simply said, making Haku blink a few times in both surprise and confusion. "A job?" Haku asked after a few minutes. "Mother's palace could use more skilled warriors with differing fighting styles. I just thought Zabuza fight the bill for that" the lilim said.

"Zabuza is a rouge shinobi. You'd be-" Haku was saying when the girl cut her off. "That won't be an issue. I can promise that" Aria said, which seemed to silence the girl. "Since you don't seem to have anymore questions, I recommend you get some rest. If you have any problems just tell Naruto. He may be a clone, but he should be able to help" Aria said as she opened the door to leave.

"A clone? Where's the real Naruto?" Haku asked. "He'll be spending the next few days restoring Rae's energy" Aria said before she left the room, with a slightly confused girl and a slightly blushing blond inside.
