Fire country heading to Wave
Team 13, Team 12 and Team 7 are escorting Tazuna to Wave, Menma, Mito were in the front with Kakashi talking to one another.
Sasuke, Sakura and Sai are behind them with Yūgao Uzuki.
Naruto, Satsuki and Yakumo are in triangle formation around Tazuna with Kushina behind, next to Naruto.
"The first mission of Menma, first step to becoming the strongest Hokage in the Leaf" Menma said, walking forward in excitement, first real mission outside of the village, no more chores.
"We're just escorting a civilian brother," Mito said bored, not seeing the point to Menma's excitement.
"One step at a time sister, once I finish escorting this fat drunk, I'll be one step closer to Hokage," Menma said, feeling excited, also insulting the client.
"Don't get ahead of yourself Menma, enjoy yourself, there's plenty of time for that" Kakashi said with an eye smile to Menma.
"What was your first mission outside the village?" Mito asked him, curious at him.
"Well you father, the Hokage's first mission outside the village was…" Kakashi started to explain his first mission, going on about the glory days of his life under the Hokage.
"Isn't it great Sasuke? Outside the village, together" Sakura said, trying to get closer to Sasuke, who only grunted at her.
"It's a sad forehead, watching you fail" Sai said rudely, seeing Sakura trying to get a date from Sasuke.
"Shut up!" Sakura shouted, trying to get a swing at Sai but he avoided it, giving her a creepy smile, turning to Sasuke, who grunts at his team, every now and then looking back at our favourite blond.
"Enough" Yūgao said, stopping Team 7 from causing a ruckus.
"You're on a mission right now, stop bickering and act like a shinobi" Yūgao grills them, they look annoyed at her while going back to their escorting.
Yūgao glares at Team 7, is this Kakashi team? Running around and arguing in a mission, in front of a client.
Yūgao growls at Kakashi talking about his glory days with the Hokage's son and daughter, he not even paying attention as well, No wonder Team 7 is like this.
Naruto signs while he walks the side of Tazuna, staying focused on the surrounding area as he ignores the looks from both his teammates and his mother.
"Isn't this great Naruto, out of the village?" Kushina said sweetly, hoping to connect with her son.
"Yeah" Naruto said, not really seeing a point to it, Kushina tries to move closer to him.
"If you want I can show you a few things only Uzumaki can do," Kushina said, offering him training to get close to him, training he once asked for when he was younger.
"Thanks but no thanks, I'll work on my own skills" Naruto said, not interested in spreading time with her.
Plus he knows all he can from his Pops, and Akuma too.
"Why don't you teach it to your kids, don't they need the training because of their special problem?" Naruto said, using the excuse she gave him when he first asked for training while not telling Tazuna about the Nine-tails sealed in the two.
Kushina looks down, remembering her saying that when she had to train Menma and Mito over him, even little Nutsumi got more training from her when they saw her little Chakra Chain.
"How about we…aaa train together?" Yukumo shyly asked, hoping to talk to Naruto about the genjutsu she did.
"I'm sure you'd like that, any new techniques you want to try?" Naruto asked, getting a flinch from the Kurama heir.
"Don't be such a loser, dead last" Satsuki can't help but say, getting Naruto to look at her.
"Satsuki" Kushina said, looking mad at Satsuki as she flinched at his mother right there.
"Apologise to Naruto now" Kushina points at Naruto, Satsuki glares at him.
"Don't bother, your sorry under a threat makes it pointless, you're never sorry" Naruto said, not looking at her, Kushina flinches but she glares at Satsuki who looks afraid of her.
"We are talking about this, both of you" Kushina glares at the two, scaring them, but Naruto rolls his eyes.
"You're wasting your time, once they get home they'll complain to their parents and I'll get another arrest and jail time" , Naruto said, which happens from time to time. Some clan kids try to mess with him, he ignores it or stands up for himself, they complain and he gets in trouble.
Kushina gets angrier at children getting her son in trouble, her hair turns to nine tails while her fist tightens.
Scaring the two and Tazuna.
"You went to jail?" Tazuna asked, looking at Naruto.
"Many times, mostly from the pranks of others, or any other crime they give me" Naruto shrugs, Tazuna looks at Kushina.
"He's joking, right?" Tazuna asked, Kushina looked away, not sure what to say after what she learned.
Tazuna looks at Naruto as he keeps walking, while paying attention to him.
They continue to walk for a few more hours, taking the civilian path with trees everywhere.
Naruto looks around as they walk, until he notices a puddle on the side of the road.
Naruto can sense the puddle was someone using a transformation jutsu, a basic jutsu that is required to even graduate from the ninja academy, very versatile.
Naruto seeing none of the others notice it, except the Jonin, seeing them all have a few looks at one another, missed to the naked eye but not those can be seen with experience.
Naruto guesses this is to test the others, seeing who these shinobi are targeting, cause it was supposed to be a D-rank mission. At most they deal with a few bandits.
They all pass the puddle on the road, each one of the genin not paying attention to the puddle, none of them noticing it hasn't rained in days so why is there a puddle on the road.
Naruto saw Sai noticing the puddle. Root training does work, compared to the children of the Hokage, still listening to Kakashi's story.
"How sad," Naruto said out loud, getting everyone's attention.
"Your life, dead last, yes it is" Menma said, annoyed at his brother.
"My life, sure, and you don't notice anything weird around you?" Naruto asked, making the genin look around.
"There's nothing out here idiot" Sakura said, none of them see anything out of the ordinary. All the Jonin look at Naruto.
"Really? Cause this puddle shouldn't be here" Naruto said, jumping on top of the puddle.
Smoke appears scaring the genin and civilian, revealing the two Demon brothers of the mist. Gōzu and Meizu, both groaning in pain.
"Oh god, what the bloody hell is wrong with you" one brother cried in pain, Naruto stepped on his balls.
"Meizu gets up already," Gōzu said, holding his head in pain from the jump.
"What's wrong with you? It hasn't rained in days. Why would there be a puddle in the middle of the road" Naruto asked, and both brothers got up and got their claws weapons.
"You're gonna pay for that" Meizu shouted, Kakashi gets in front with Yūgao and Kushina.
"We got this" Kakashi said, the three ran forward, but got wrapped in chains, tearing them apart.
"No" Menma shouted, seeing that Jonin gets hurt, running forward with red eyes, Mito follows.
"Your next" Gōzu said, the two siblings attack him, Menma grabs the claw gauntlet with Mito punching him in the face, knocking him out.
"Die brat" Meizu growls, going around to the other Genin. Sakura gets scared, but Sasuke and Sai run forward both drawing the kunai to fight, but Meizu blocks both with his claw gauntlet, swinging it around to make them dodge, as Meizu jumps forward to the bridge builder.
"Oh no you don't" Satsuki said, trying to stop him, but ducks to avoid a kunai thrown at her, Yakumo looks scared at the situation, falling down from the first attack.
Meizu kicks Satsuki away as he tries to stab Tazuna, but Naruto gets in front.
"Jodan Sokutou Geri" Naruto does a simple, yet strong, forward-stepping side kick, hitting the demon brother and sending him flying to a tree, knocking him out.
"Oaaaaa" Meizu groaned as he passed out.
"Good job my cute little genin" Kakashi comes out of the woods with the other two.
"You're alive," Sakura pointed in surprise, seeing the three corpses turn to smoke revealing broken wood.
"We saw the ambush ahead, seeing it is a good time to see how you do against a real attack, good job for spotting Naruto" Yūgao said, looking at Naruto.
"It wasn't raining, they should have been a rock or something," Naruto said, shrugging at the ambush.
"Great fighting technique Naruto, where did you learn it?" Kakashi asked, wanting to know.
"I made it up, to help against people running at me with a knife," Naruto said, not giving any details of his training.
"Oh come on, not even a little hint" Kakashi said, giving an eye smile that annoys Naruto.
"No," Naruto said, as Menma and Mito hugged their mother.
"We were so worried for you," Menma said, hugging Kushina.
"Never do that again" Mito agrees, never wanting to see a family member like that again.
"It ok, it was just a test, I was around the tree, and it takes more than two chunin to take down your mother" Kushina said, hugging her children back.
"And I'm proud of you for taking them out," Kushina said. Seeing all her babies beating up the chunin, makes her proud.
But sad at having nothing to do with Naruto's training, seeing the powerful kick.
Kushina looks at him, but he doesn't look in her direction.
"You did very well Satsuki, and don't worry Yakumo will work on it later" Yūgao said to her other students, Satsuki nods at him as does Yakumo, both knowing they need to get better while looking at Naruto.
"But you need more work Sakura, Kakashi you need to discipline your students" Yūgao said to the two, turning to the knocked out Demon brother.
"The Demons brothers, both Chunin ranks, I'll send Konoha a message to pick them up" Yūgao said, tying the two up then writing a message to send back.
"No one was hurt or anything" Kakashi said, waving off her complaints, both he and Yūgao looked at the scared bridge builder.
"Now Tazuna, these two are the demon brothers, missing nin from a shinobi village, why would they be after you?" Kakashi asked, seeing his plan was planned by assassins compared to a passing bandit.
Tazuna sweats the looks he's getting from Kakashi, Kushina, Yūgao and the other young shinobi.
Tazuna starts to cave, starting crying about the Wave situation, about Gato taking over Wave, exporting them and terrorising them.
"I don't like this" Yūgao said about this.
"Maybe we should turn back, not a C-rank anymore" Kakashi said, seeing Tazuna lie to them.
"What, Kakashi-nin we have to finish the mission" Menma said, hearing the story and wanting to continue the mission, saving a village from a criminal, this mission is better than he thought.
"Menma, it is too dangerous," Kushina said, worried for her children.
"It's already dangerous leaving the village, we have to help mother" Mito said,
"We can handle it," Sasuke said, not letting anyone beat him.
"Like Sasuke said, let's do it" Sakura gave her support, Sai gave them a smile while nodding.
"With all of us combined, these guys are nothing" Satsuki said, not backing down as well, Yakumo nodded as well.
"Beside he already on the special deal Hokage made, 9 genin and 3 Jonin, it overkill at this point" Naruto said, plus Kakashi and Yūgao are former ANBU while Kushina second only to Minato.
The Jonins look at one another as they all nod.
"Guess we're continuing the mission," Kakashi said, Tazuna bowing his head.
"Oh thank you, thank you, you're not a scam artist after all" Tazuna said, only paying for one team but got three, now they are helping his home.
LINE
After the sob story the teams continue on with their mission, they cross the channel in a boat, few Jonin water walk to save room on the boat, to the surprise of those not aware of the skill.
"You'll learn his skill soon, my cute little genin" Kakashi said, seeing Sakura look at him in awe.
"Wait you didn't teach them this early" Yūgao asked, she already taught her students all the chakra exercises and got them to do it with her every day.
"I will teach them when they're ready," Kakashi waved her off. This pissed her off.
"We are doing an A-rank mission and you haven't taught them any chakra walking" Yūgao glares at him, which Kakashi ignores.
"Kakashi, you need to teach your students' ' Kushina said, already teaching her children the basic chakra exercise; well most of them bare one.
"I'll do it straight away once we make it to the spot" Kakashi nods to her, only when Kushina says it does he take it seriously.
They made it to the island escorting Tazuna to his home, Kakashi leading the front, Yūgao and Kushina behind with the teams surrounding Tazuna.
Satsuki turns and throws a kunai, surprising them, Menma and Mito go to check, only for Menma to pull out a scared rabbit by the ears.
"Wow Satsuki, you nearly killed a bunny" Menma mocks her, getting on Satsuki nerves.
"I know I saw something," Satsuki said. Jonin notices the colour of the rabbit is off, white hair in autumn.
"GET DOWN" Kakashi shouted, Kushina grabs Tazuna and Naruto grabs Sakura, everyone else ducks and dodges out of the way.
A giant cleaver blade came spinning out of the mist and over their heads where they had been a moment ago. It embedded itself in a tree, and on top of the blade a fierce-looking man appeared.
Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Hidden Mist and missing nin.
"Well I see how the demon brothers couldn't take the old man out," Zabuza said, looking at Kakashi at the front.
"Kakashi of the Sharingan," Zabuza said, getting the Uchiha's attention.
"Sharingan?" Sasuke and Satsuki said, both knowing Kakashi wasn't an Uchiha.
"And Red Hot-Blooded Habanero too, I'll say it an honor to meet one with such skill" Zabuza said, recognizing Kushina as well.
"You won't hurt my babies," Kushina said, pulling out her sword, the Benihime.
"The Uzumaki sword Benihime, let's see if it matches my Kubikiribōchō" Zabuza said, looking closer at her.
Naruto narrows his eyes forward, sensing someone else.
Someone stronger than Zabuza.
"We have bigger problems," Naruto said, looking forward.
"No shit deadlast, that guy has a big sword" Menma said, but Naruto shakes his head.
"I'm not talking about him, he's a small fish compared to what's coming," Naruto said, making Zabuza glare at him.
"Oh, what's that brat, I'm such a small fish now" Zabuza glares at Naruto, killing intent at him, but it does nothing to Naruto, but it scares the others.
"What is this feeling?" Sasuke said, holding his chest in horror, Sakura looked to nearly sob.
"Don't worry I'll protect you with my life" Kakaski said, calming Sasuke and Sakura down.
"Will you now?" A voice calls out, everyone looks forward, seeing a figure walking forward.
Sasuke and Satsuki look absolutely terrified, that voice that haunted their nightmares.
Kakashi and Yūgao look angry at the familiar criminal.
Kushina looks scared at a familiar black robe with red clouds on it, Jiraiya and Minato told her about such a group.
Ken Uchiha, the Cannibal, the Ghoul, in an Akatsuki robe walking towards them.
"My my, look at all you little bites, some Uchiha, my favourite, and a few Uzumaki, wonder how they taste" Ken licks his lips revealing his shark like teeth, takes a few sniffs, looking to see Zabuza on a tree.
"Hey Zabuza, long time no see, how is the mist going?" Ken asked, Zabuza glared at him.
"You will suffer for what you have done" Zabuza said, jumping down the tree and pointing his sword at Ken.
"What have I done? It is your village leader that wanted to burn all those children, he asked me to do it" Ken said, showing he was busy seeing a missing nin.
"You leader, Yagura was it, yeah I hear he now kills children with higher than average chakra levels" Ken reveals, to the shock of Zabuza.
"That a lie" Zabuza said, Yagura may be insane with the bloodline purge but he wouldn't kill civilians with higher than average chakra.
"Well he was informed that bloodlines make the average nin have higher levels of chakra then normal" Ken smirks, Zabuza growls at him.
"You know you can't beat me, you know I'm never alone" Ken said his sharingan active, with three tomatoes on.
Zabuza grunts as he looks around the area, having a worried look in his eyes.
"By the way Zabuza, are you working with someone? Cause I smell something delightful, something I haven't had in a long time" Ken said, looking around as well, Zabuza quickly does a few hand-signs.
Hidden Mist Jutsu
Fog started to surround everyone, making it hard to see in front of them.
"Back to Back" Naruto shouted, getting close to Tazuna with everyone else following, more afraid of the mist than anything else.
Zabuza ran behind the group, ready to cut off all their heads.
But Kakashi blocks it with his kunai
"GET BACK" Kakashi shouted, everyone runs forward, Zabuza grits his teeth trying to overpower Kakashi.
"Ken has a bigger bounty, we'll help you take him out" Kakashi bargains, Ken a S-rank missing nin from the Konoha, more money on his head then whatever Zabuza getting pay for this.
"You think I'm crazy enough to face that monster, especially with his wife around here" Zabuza said, trying to kill Kakashi fast.
"Ken's not married," Kakashi said in shock, finding it insane that anyone would marry that monster.
"That's why I'm killing the old men, get my money and get the hell out of here" Zabuza swings his sword, knocking Kakashi back as he runs to the group of Genin.
But Yūgao blocks with her sword.
"You're gonna go through me" Yūgao said, gritting her teeth at the strength of the sword.
"Gladly" Zabuza tries to kill her, Zabuza fights off both Kakashi and Yūgao.
Kushina brings out Benihime to Ken Uchiha, who chuckles at her.
"Nice sword there, it would go well with mine" Ken smiles, pulling out his own, a familiar sword to Kushina.
"Wait, that's the Sword of Kusanagi, you killed Orochimaru?" Kushina asked, looking at the sword once owned by Orochimaru.
"No, that slimy bastard tried to bite me when we were in the Akatsuki together, this curse mark or some shit, so I took a chunk out of him" Ken licks his licks, recalling Orochimaru was in the Akatsuki.
"Didn't kill him though, but I did take this out of his ass" Ken smiles, remembering shoving his fist up Orochimaru's ass to grab a white snake, killing the snake to reveal the sword.
"Now tastes my blade" Ken swings, the Sword of Kusanagi extends a bit as Kushina blocks with her Benihime.
Kushina fights with Benihime with all her skill, all while Ken watches her with his Sharingan, copying her movement and fighting with his strength.
"What do we do?" Sakura said, seeing their sensei fight the powerful missing nin, Zabuza tries to get to them but is fighting both Kakashi and Yūgao.
"We fight," Menma said, wanting to fight as well, but Mito stops him.
"No, father and Pervy sage said we stay back whenever we see someone with a red cloud, we stay away from them" Mito said, her father and Jiraiya warn them about bad guys with red clouds on their clothes.
The reason to train them so hard and to come to their family if they ever saw them.
"We train for this Mito" Menma said, wanting to fight the bad guys.
"You're not strong enough dickless," Sai said, holding his paint brush, ready in case of an attack.
"Shut up pale bitch, I'm the strongest shinobi here" Menma said, glaring at him,
Sasuke and Satsuki watch Ken fight Kushina, see the man that destroyed their clan home and massacred most of their members. Both holding their kunai with shaking hands.
Naruto notices more figures approaching, seeing familiar clothed figures walking forward.
Marionettes
"Hey Strongest shinobi, we got company" Naruto calls out, Menma glares at his brother.
"What was that dead last?" Menma asked, Naruto pointed at two Marionettes coming their way.
"So who wants them?" Naruto points out, Menma runs forward against one.
"Mine mine mine" Menma shouted, pulling out a kunai to stab the Marionette, who dodge and punch him.
"Menma" Mito shouted, running forward as well, going through a few hand-signs.
"Water Bullet Jutsu '' Mito shoots water, shoots the humanised Marionette, the Marionette dodge the water bullets and gets into a basic taijutsu stance.
"Protect the client," Sasuke said, doing hand-signs with Sasuke and Satsuki as well.
"Fireball Jutsu" the two siblings shoot two fireballs together, both fireballs fuse together to become bigger, exploding on the Marionette.
"We got him" Satsuki smiles, as does Sasuke but he frowns, the smoke clearing to see an undamaged Marionette.
"Get ready" Sasuke said, pulling out a kunai as did Satsuki, starting to fight as well.
"What do we do, what do we do? '' Sakura said, terrified with Yakumo, but an emotionless Sai keeps his paintbrush out.
Naruto looks around, seeing Kakashi and Yūgao are handing Zabuza, and Kushina is capable of facing Ken, but why are they Marionette's here?
Ren's not a puppet master.
Except
"Shatter" Naruto claps his hands together, sending a pulse of Chakra to all his senses, his eyes open to see Menma, Mito and Sasuke and Satsuki fighting nothing but air.
"She's here," Naruto said, looking to see Sakura, Yakumo and Sai staring at the others fighting no one.
"How nice to see you again, Naruto-kun" A voice calls out, Naruto looks to see a beautiful brown hair woman with a black eye patch like bandage on one eye wearing an akatsuki robe.
(Fem Aizen with the eye patch thing)
Aizen Kurama
"Aizen" Naruto said, seeing his genjutsu teacher before him.
"Oh you used to call me Aunt Aizen when you were little" Aizen said, walking toward him, but Naruto got into stance.
"And you kept your training, very good Naruto, I still haven't found out how you break my genjutsu" Aizen said offhand, training in genjutsu, each one of them had to find their own way to break out of it,
Naruto and friends agree to never tell Aizen how they break her genjutsu, their Pops approved.
Naruto remains silent.
"Of course, can't break your pinkie promise with your little group" Aizen smiles with her pinkie out, remembering the kids keeping secrets from the adults.
"We've been looking for you Naruto-kun, it hurts us to see you leave, you friends all miss you" Aizen said, making Naruto look down.
"Oh your uncle wants to wave at you" Aizen said, making Naruto turn to see Ken smile at him while in the middle of fighting Kushina, giving Naruto a wave.
Naruto signs, giving a wave back, making Ken smile widen.
"What are you laughing at?!" Kushina said, looking at him like he crazy.
"Just seeing how wonderful your children are" Ken smiles, getting Kushina mad.
"YOU PEDO" Kushina screams, her hair turning to nine tails, Ken laughs fighting the former jinchuuriki.
"He's not a pedo you know," Aizen said, frowning at what Kushina said.
"That reassuring" Naruto said, not really seeing how much Ken can be worse with eating people.
"He speaks, wow, who knows you hide at the one place we all hate," Aizen said in surprise, never seeing Naruto go back to the place they all hate.
"You merge with your clone I see" Aizen said, snapping Naruto out of his funk.
"Why are you two here?" Naruto snaps at her, no one else will hear them since they're not reacting to her standing in front of them.
"We are here on a break actually, fighting in the mist, you know mess around with the Mizukage with the bloodline purge thing, made him think anyone with higher chakra levels has a bloodline" Aizen giggles at that.
Naruto can't help thinking how insane the Mist is to let their leader start killing all their higher powered shinobi.
The Mizukage must be in a genjutsu, no sane leader would kill their strongest soldiers.
"Then Ken smelled something, we checked it out, and found you with the kyuubi jinchuurikis, and seeing how were part of this group interested in them, well we thought we grab them while were here" Aizen said, Naruto narrows his eyes at her.
"You're not getting them, '' Naruto said, getting ready for a fight, Aizen raised her eyebrow.
"You aware of the plan right?" Aizen said, Naruto is aware of Urado Otsutsuki plan with the Bijuus.
"I know the plan, but you can't trust Pops, he doesn't care about us, he only uses us to his own ends" Naruto tells her, getting a raised eyebrow from her.
"That the shinobi villages Naruto" Aizen points out,
"You haven't seen what he does, Akuma knows and so does Esdeath" Naruto said, as he gets ready.
"Leave now, or I stop holding back" Naruto threatens, his eyes glowing red and pure white Chakra start to surround him.
Aizen takes a step back, looking at the situation, seeing Zabuza retreating and Kushina holding her own with Ken, while he is holding back, dealing with Naruto and the other Jonin isn't something she wants to do.
"I see, will go, see you later Naruto-kun" Aizen said, walking away from the little group as she dispels the genjutsu around the genins as they start to look confused.
"Let's go" Aizen said to Ken, Ken frowns as he sees Zabuza leaving as Kakashi and Yūgao head here.
"Till next time my lovely meal" Ken said, grabs a few smoke bombs
BLAAAAAA
Kushina gets back from the smoke, clearing to see their goon as she gets angry.
"COWADERS" Kushina shouted seeing the akatsuki run away as she ran to her babies.
"Menma Mito, are you two ok?" Kushina hugs her children, knowing there was a target for the Bijuu seal inside them.
"Were fine mom, we beat those other shinobi, they were nothing" Menma brags, but Mito frowns.
"We didn't beat them, they disappeared, we barely did a scratch on them" Mito points out, Menma frowned at that face.
"Ours disappeared too" Satsuki said, and Sasuke shinobi disappeared too.
"We'd show them," Kakashi said, seeing he fought off Zabaza and his student fought off the other shinobi.
"They escaped, they will return" Yūgao points out, knowing Zabuza couldn't beat them both.
"Let's head off then, Tazuna," Naruto said, the old man nodding.
"Yes this way" Tazuna said, leading them to his home.
"Guess you were too scared to face those shinobi ha deadlast" Menma said, seeing how Naruto didn't fight anyone.
"Lay off him Menma, he couldn't face a real threat after all" Mito said coldly, looking at Menma as he grins at her.
"Couldn't do anything in a real fight" Menma brags to him,
"Yeah Naruto couldn't do anything" Sakura said, noticing a look from Naruto.
"At least I didn't wet myself," Naruto points out, getting a shocked look from her as the other steps away from her.
"It's ok Naruto, we're here to protect you" Kakashi said, seeing that Naruto was scared for the Akatsuki.
"It's not me that needs protecting," Naruto said. Kushina wants to give Naruto a hug but he walks off to Tazuna, looking sad at her children being in danger.
The Nine-tailed foxes noticing the fight and having their own opinions on their Host's brother.
