"That's weird, don't you think morn. " Blood mumbled as he and his team walked down a narrow underground pipe system.
"What is?" Morn said a little confused, blood was never much of a thinker, he liked acting first, thoughts came later.
"Your father." Morn eyes narrowed.
"What about Tousan!" Blood raised his hands defensively.
"Calm your tits dude. I'm just saying, he's taking a huge risk here. What if we fail in discovering who the jinchuriki is?"
Morn sucked his teeth. "Impossible we'll have deva path if we can't find it , he most defiantly can."
Blood shook his head.
"I doubt deva-sama will get to involved. Remember he only got one jutsu and that will be a dead give away of who he is."
"Yes, but deva can perform all of the techniques if Tousan chooses too."
"I think your underestimating the distance between Ame and Konoha." Morn stood quiet, failure was not something Tousan liked.
"Plus remember peins mentor Jiraiya will be there as well, another reason pein will not do anything brash."
"To me it sounds like your scared." Sorrow interrupted. "You really think Tousan will send us if there's even a slight chance of failure? Now shut up, and go get ready. We leave tomorrow." Before she disappeared in a display of fallen paper.
Blood smirked. "I hope she's right. I want to kill something. Maybe this jinchuriki will be stronger then the last one." With that left in the air the two boys nodded at each other before going their separate ways.
- "This is it Naruto. Are you ready?" Kakashi mumbled, as he and his team looked at a body filled bridge. Naruto smirked.
"What was the plan again? I don't think I remember it right."
"I'll fight Zabuza, you and Sasuke and Nami will take on his colleagues, while we leave Haku too Sakura."
Naruto nodded. "Go in, fuck shit up, got it. I'll go first" before Kakashi could respond Naruto jumped forward not bothering with hand signs he unleashed a massive wave of wind.
"Futon: great breakthrough!" The mist was immediately dismissed revealing 4 figures standing side by side. The demon of the bloody mist standing proudly in the middle.
"So you finally came, I was beginning to think yah got scared and ran back to Konoha." Naruto smirked.
"Why would we do that? I don't think I see any threats around here.. Do you Sasuke?"
"Nope."
Zabuza was only saved by Haku who was able to track the Uchiha, quickly forming a ice mirror which received a pretty large tear from the impact of the grim reaper blade.
"I think your underestimating us." Zabuza said not bothering looking behind him, while the brat surprised him, it will take a lot more then that to take him out.
"No, I think we overestimated all of your abilities. Let's follow Kakashi plan, when I give the signal you'll all move out the way. Is that clear?" Team 7 nodded. "Let's do this shit then!" Naruto jumped to the far side of the bridge quickly followed by a white haired girl, her eyes icy and cold.
Naruto smiled.
"Ain't you a pale little thing." The girl gave no reaction, instead shooting forward. Narrowly avoiding a right jab, before unimaginable pain shot through his chest, taking his shirt off he notice there was a blue like line spreading across his diaphragm.
"I see you noticed. This is not a fight you could win. Even if I miss my body releases a mist that causes instant cell decay.. You'll be nothing but a carcass when I'm done with you. " Naruto nodded putting his shirt on.
"I guess your a nasty little thing huh? Cell defenestration, never thought I'll meet a bloodline like that. I guess this is going to be a long distance fight.."
"No it's not." Naruto jumped away as the white haired girl easily closed the distance between them, before performing a shadow clone in the air that tossed him aside, right in the nick of time as he watched his clone turn completely blue before puffing away.
"Not bad." Naruto said landing perfectly.
"This is a fight you could not win." Naruto stood quiet.
"Fuuton: greatl breakthrough." Lili easily avoided the gust of win, before she was sent flying courtesy of a Naruto clone who disappeared right after. Lili body tumbled across the floor. She couldn't believe it, he already figured out a way to beat her... Well at lease he thought.
"How that feel?" Naruto joked. Lili smiled.
"I like you Uzumaki. I might actually have a fight." Naruto shook his head.
"Not at all. Your more of entertainment until I give my team the signal." Lili sucked her teeth.
"Don't get cocky!" Before Lili chakra spiked and a tornado of visible chakra surrounded her. "Let's see your clones touch me now!"
Naruto whistle. Now that was power. This girl was pushing out more chakra then most jounin.
"Damn, I really wish we had more time but my team is almost in position so I have to end this, but you've gain my respect so let me give you a proper finish. This is a new jutsu I've been working on. I call it Gods wind."
With Haku
Sakura and Nami frowned. They were stuck in the middle of what looked like a ice prison.
"Watch out Sakura!" Nami yelled throwing a Kunai to deflect the incoming sendon. While Haku didn't show it - not that they can see it anyways, she was surprised the accuracy required to block a sendon with a Kunai was astonishing.
"You might actually provide a challenge for me." Haku said before sinking into her mirrors. Her reflection spreading across all of them. She held three sendons in her hand before throwing them.
Nami cursed. Pushing Sakura to the floor laying down on top of her, the needles bouncing off her skin.
Nami jumped back up.
"A defensive kekkei genkai that turns your skin into scales. I wonder how much chakra that takes." Nami frowned.
'Shes right. I can't keep relying on my kekkei genkai to block them things, and if I keep using it she might figure out its weakness. Well can't expect to go every fight unscratched.'
"Listen to me Sakura, remember that day where you got lucky?" Sakura looked at her confused before her eyes lit up. "Well it's time to get lucky again. Remember steel is stronger then Ice." With that in the air, Nami rushed forward, avoiding some sendons and getting pinned by others. Before her whole hand turned to scales and delivered a devastating blow to a mirror causing it to crack but not crumble. Jumping back just in time.
"I hope you don't think brute force alone would be enough to beat me." Haku chided. Before she blazed through hands speeds.
"Suiton: Baku Suishouha (Water Release: Bursting Water Collision Shockwave)!" Water spread across the dome but surprisingly did not leak through the bottom of the dome. Nami narrowed her eyes.
"Sakura jump!"
"To late. Reido." The water immediately froze, but Sakura did manage to get into the air but screamed in pain as water had splashed on her knee and it was now frozen solid.
Nami cursed as she had to catch the falling girl.
"We can really use that signal Naruto." Nami sighed she didn't want to go all out, not with what's Naruto planning but she was running out of time, hopefully Sakura was already ready.
"Fuck that hurts." Sakura said as she turned her leg into steel and smashed it. "Let's finish this bitch Nami, she's really starting to fucking annoy me." Nami nodded.
"I like your optimism but you are now standing on ice. Ice, I created." A huge reflecting of Haku appeared under them.
"Fuck me!" Sakura yelled.
"It's over." Before next to 500 sendons were sent flying.
"Sakura now!" Sakura nodded, her body instantly turned a glossy metal before, Nami grabbed her and tossed her to the floor , Sakura cocked back and smashed the ground instantly cracking the whole thing.
Before everything slowly started to crumble.
"I got careless." Haku said as she lay'd on the ground Sakura fist planted in her stomach. Before her mask fell off to reveal a bloody mouth.
"How did you know?" Haku asked. Nami smiled.
"When I punched your mirror earlier. My bloodline doesn't only give me scales, it gives me enhanced senses, I saw you jump from one mirror to the other, just like when I saw you transfer your real body to the ground which will be the mirror that took the most chakra. How she caught you I don't know, I just wanted to break the ice under us, and wait for my brothers signal." Nami nodded.
Just as lightning began to crackle.
Haku frowned.
"You won this one." Before she disappeared and a sickening squelch was heard.
Nami frowned. As the mist cleared to reveal a white haired girl with Kakashi lightning blade stuck in her chest. Zabuza with Haku in his shoulder, and Sasuke standing next to Naruto.
"Why Lili!" The white haired girl smiled.
"Shut up haku." As she removed the hand from her chest, the girls body was heavily cut up, she looked like she went through a blender.. Sakura frowned looking at Naruto.
"Downgraded Gods wind." She whispered.
"I was waiting for the signal Naruto." Naruto scratched his head giving a foxy smile.
"You see, what happened was-"
"BAKA!" Nami yelled! "Wait till all of this is over. Sounding all tough! I bet you didn't even have a signal!" Nami seethed.
Kakashi agonizing scream snapped them out of it. His whole arm was turning blue, Naruto frowned.
"It's her Kekkei genkai her skin releases a mist that degenerates cells, when Kakashi used raikiri it must've activated it.. This is bad. Lili smiled a evil twisted smirk.
"Before I go, I want to tell you that it's useless. I come from a clan where we are cursed at birth to be dangerous. Our moms can not hug us, kiss us, or even be near us the first month if birth. So we are locked away in a sealed tight cell until our body gets the mist under control. Then the rest our life we are stuck being outcast... But that's not the worse... The person that kills us becomes cursed to be just like us but your body isn't use to the poison and will therefore die.. Goodbye."
Team 7 was shock. Naruto frowned before grabbing Kakashis arm looking over it with his Sekai hiding it from Zabuzas team.
"This is gonna hurt. Nami come over here." Nami nodded. "Grab his arm and channel your chakra into it. Don't argue just do it. Sasuke I need you too." Sasuke edged forward.
"You know how you can take someone's chakra and place it inside your blade?" Sasuke nodded. "We'll consider this practice, you need to make sure you only take out as much as I tell you while Nami channels her chakra to replace the chakra you took out.
"Sasuke frowned, he never took partial chakra before.
"Kakashi this is gonna hurt like a bitch." Naruto said. "Are yah ready." Three nods.
"Let's go!" Kakashi screamed at the top of his lungs he felt like his arm was ripped off and then stitched back together with sharp bones , Naruto nodded giving Kakashi a pain reliever.
"I'm surprised you figured something out do quick."Sasuke said pulling out his reaper blade.
"Yeah, she did it to me earlier obviously my tenant won't let it spread but I figured out how it works. It's basically like a snake bite if you suck all the poison out before it spreads you can recover the limb."
Now slowly start taking out chakra I'll tell you when to stop." Naruto said, Sasuke nimbly placed His blade over Kakashis arm, stabbing the blade just a little.
"Keep that flow. Now Nami start channeling your chakra." Naruto ordered. After what seem like hours Kakashi gave a sigh of relief.
Naruto nodded. "You can stop how Sasuke." Sasuke pulled the blade out a glow surrounded the blade.
Sasuke smirked, "my blade is vibrating, that's some good chakra you got Kakashi." Kakashi just glared at him.
Sakura was amazed, this was the connection in team 7?
Zabuza was impressed. Before snapping his head to the right.
Clap, clap, clap.
"I knew you were useless, demon of the mist my ass." A smirking gatu said. A army of bandits behind him.
Zabuza frowned raising his cleaver and letting Haku down.
"I can take care of all of you by myself." Zabuza growled.
Gatu smiled. Pulling out a needle.
"This was the antidote to the poison your disgusting daughter injected me with. I liked you Zabuza, I was even going to let you take control of the wave village and turn it into a.. What you called it? A place called home? The offer is still on the table if your interested." Gatu said, a small smile on his face, seconds later a arrow pierced threw his neck.
"Die. No way we'll let a guy like that rule over us." Said a frowning Tazuna. The people of wave cheering behind him.
"What should we do Naruto? There's still a lot of them left." Naruto shook his head.
"Let the villagers handle it. If it gets to rough we'll jump in.. But this is their moment. Damn, I really wanted to become famous off this.. Oh well,"
30 minutes of fighting later and the bandits ran off.
"Hoorah! We finally did it! " the villagers yelled.
Naruto smiled before looking into the distance as a black figure disappeared.
'Mitsu.'
"What are you looking at Naruto?" Nami asked looking in the same direction as him.
"It's nothing. Just got info from my clone. Apparently they tried to capture Tazuna daughter and nephew. My clone took care of it. Anyways. Let's go, we're already late on getting back to Konoha."
They all looked at him like he grew a third head.
"Don't you want to celebrate? How about Zabuza and Haku, and that other kid."
Naruto shrug. "Not our problem. Are mission is now complete, the threat neutralized and plus Zabuza said he wanted a place called home, I'm sure the people of wave will accept him. " Naruto said already walking away, hands over his head.
Nami smiled and followed him. Sasuke followed suit so did Kakashi, quickly followed by Sakura. And with a gust of wind team 7 was gone.
The villagers continued to celebrate.
"Where's those kids that helped us?!" Asked one chubby villager. They all looked around confused.
Tazuna seeing what happened stepped forward.
"It doesn't matter! We're free! Let's go back to the village and celebrate!" The villagers cheered.
"But first a name for the bridge." Said a villager. Tazuna rubbed his chin.
"How about we name it after our mysterious Savors." Tazuna nodded.
"We'll call it Angels Bridge." - "What now Zabuza?" Haku said as they stood over the grave of Lili. Zabuza placed his blade on his shoulder.
"We got a Bridge builder to talk too. After all we all need a place called home." Haku frowned.
"Why would he accept people that tried to kill him into his village?" Haku asked. Zabuza shrugged.
"I have a feeling that blonde kid was ten times ahead of us all. Now let's go, we got a village to build."
Haku nodded walking away before freezing the landscape.
'Don't worry Lili no one will ever touch you as long as I'm alive.'
"Zabuza wait up!" Haku said running after her master. - "So what now Naruto?" Sasuke said as team 7 jumper from tree to tree.
"The chunin exam is coming up. I have a feeling we all need to get ten times stronger." Naruto said reflecting on what Mitsu had told him the day before.
'I won't let none of you get hurt because of my curse... That's my way of nindo !'
"How much more?" Blood asked.
A week and a half. Now shut up and go to sleep." The blue hair sorrows yelled annoyed with the raven haired kid questions.
Blood moaned.
"This kid better be worth the trouble." Morn said.
They all nodded. - "Any reason why you sent my children without my permission to a death match?" Konan said a grim expression on her place. "Not to mention you sent blood with them! You know that kid isn't stanle especially with that -"
"Don't worry about that Deva path has it under control. I got complete faith in them."
"You fucking better!" Konan shad walking away. "I hope your fucking right. And I'm going after them." Before she fell apart into paper and left through the window.
"Strong girl you got there." Pein frowned looking at the glowing sharingan eye."
- That's a rap. I'm tired, told you the wave ark will end really quickly! REVIEW! Please REVIEW
