I don't own Naruto or any of its characters, I'm just a fan I enjoyed the anime but I love the fanfics, even more, they made me fall for the whole franchise. Whether I will have Oc's in the fic or not depends entirely on how the story goes.
Chapter 27
"Hello Gatō-San, please don't mind my intrusion I'm only here to be of service." Gatō whipped his head to the ceiling only to lock gazes with blue eyes connected to a toothy grinning face.
"Boo!"
"Hel….mh mh." Gatō ready to scream out and call out his guards found the ninja boy drop something heavy on him, heavy and wet. Gatō looked to the side where a part of this heavy and wet thing was located.
"Now now Gatō-San let's not get too hasty, look I took care of one problem for you Aoi Rokushō would have killed you had I not killed him first." Naruto told Gatō whose eyes were frantic and panicked mouth agape, getting soaked by what he now realized was blood and the weight on his body was Aoi Rokushō's corps.
"W-what d-do you w-a-n-t?" Gatō felt like slapping himself for showing such fear to a child, a child soldier but a child nonetheless. Who could blame him? He was already scared shitless the whole morning, Momochi and his friends had him piss himself.
"To help you Gatō-San, he might be dead" The blonde pointed at the body still weighing down on Gatō. "But Zabuza and Haku escaped, do you know what that means?" At the blonde's inquiry, Gatō's eyes widened as the realization came to him.
"He- he- he is c-coming f-for me." Pride wounded, reputation trampled on, humiliated and now his life was in danger by the same man responsible for inducing so much fear in him. Gatō had been balled up in a closet in his room the whole day only coming out when he was informed Zabuza and his entourage had left his property.
"Bingo." Naruto grinned, releasing his hold on the ceiling Naruto flipped and landed on the king-sized bed covered in red sheets and black duvets with giant pillows that looked comfy enough, before jumping off not knowing his sudden movements had Gatō pee himself a little in fear.
"Let me help you with this trash, it must have slipped out of my pocket." Naruto joked as he pulled out a scroll and tapped it on Rokushō's head only for his body to disappear like it was never there but Gatō knew better because he was still soaked in blood.
"Anyway, I borrowed your safe." At Naruto's off-handed admittance, Gatō's eyes became as big as dinner plates, His missing safe? it was this boy. "And I made copies of most if not all the files you keep in that office." Gatō gasped, that was all his dealings this boy had paper trails of them all, his offshore accounts, his most trusted contacts, and his mother's location in a hospital in Suna.
"You look nothing like your mother by the way, you must have gotten your looks from your Father, it's not like I am one to talk I'm a spitting image of my old bastard." Gatō felt insulted but what could he do, he never liked his father as well the man was in and out of prison every other year until he got killed by a rival in his cell. 68 stab wounds all inflicted by one man and a sharpened toothbrush Gatō didn't even bother sending out a hit for the culprit when he hear he was out of prison.
"W-what will y-you do to her?" Gatō asked with fear gripping his heart. The only person he cared about in the world was his dying mother.
"That depends entirely on you Gatō-San, I for one do not know a mother's love so ripping it from you wouldn't leave me sleepless." Naruto's demeanor changed at that moment, mirthful eyes became mirthless, a toothy grin became a straight line and his eyes died.
Gatō remembered those eyes, it was the same eyes he had received earlier in the day, it told him he didn't matter but with the newfound knowledge it also told him his mother didn't matter if he wasn't cooperative she could die quicker or brutally, Gatō gulped and asked the blonde what he wanted from him and the answer was not what he expected.
"Everything." Gatō fell silent at that answer and wondered if his mother was worth it. But then again he didn't think his own life was guaranteed either the way things were going if he didn't get killed by this brat, then Zabuza would come to finish the job and that monster would make sure he died in a way his sick rich friends would call artistic.
"W-what do y-you mean everything?" Gatō had to make sure the blonde wasn't thinking of leaving him penniless, he was too used to the high life to become a random nobody again he had to be rich Gatō was a rich man who planned on being buried in a golden casket lined with diamonds spelling out his name.
Inside the casket, he would have an imported material from Kumo for him to lay on, the cushion imported from Snow country, and the sheets from Suna, and maybe get the one responsible for sculpting the Hokage monuments to sculpt his visage in a mountain he would buy, under his face his fortune should be written in bold letters.
"You will give me everything you own, in return for your and mommy's dearest safety I will hire you as an assistant so you have money to pay for her medical bills, and who knows if you're a hard worker you could become employee of the month maybe even get promoted." Gatō wanted to laugh along with the blonde at the joke but the blond never laughed and Gatō couldn't join something that never began.
"Why are you doing this?" Gatō's voice broke as he choked on a tear, this was his fucking legacy, he built his empire from the ground up. Gatō left his home at the age of 10 and didn't see his mother until 40 years later pushing and grinding so he could be more than he ever was, more than he was born into.
"You are a ninja, what could you possibly want with all that I have?" Gatō was curious. Ninjas were not supposed to be interested in these kinds of stuff, these kinds of deals. They killed and they left, why was this boy interested in his businesses?
"Gatō-San before I was a ninja I was a businessman/boy, you and I are similar in some ways and yet different in others Gatō-San. While you seek money and superficial power to hide behind, I seek money and absolute power to get what I want." Naruto walked up to Gatō bringing his face close to the man.
"I would have killed you already by now, actually I could have killed you anytime between last week and this morning." Naruto told Gatō as he took the man's extra pair of glasses from the nightstand and placed it on Gatō's face the man's eyes widening behind his shades.
"You were the one?" Gatō asked in shock remembering Zabuza's words about it being a blond gaki, so this was him? Gatō remembered wearing the shades every day for a week it felt so right, snug, and only moved around his face when he made sudden movements.
"Not exactly." Naruto replied making a hand seal and in a puff of smoke, a clone appeared who turned into shades and Naruto grabbed it spinning the shade around in his finger. "Now say Ah." Gatō looked confused and when he opened his mouth to speak the glasses turned into a kind of marble-like object and Naruto shoved it down Gatō's throat slapping his neck a little so he would swallow at that moment Gatō began coughing.
"W-what did you do?" Gatō asked in surprise and rising fear as the blonde grind at him again.
"Just an experiment, don't worry I'll explain." Naruto made another clone who appeared in a puff of smoke but before that smoke cleared out his head suddenly came out of the smoke saying boo and Gatō almost had a heart attack but he didn't scream he didn't trust his guards could do anything.
"This is a shadow clone, what I did was turn that clone into a marble that you swallowed. My clone will take the form of a stomach worm or something I don't know." Gatō listened to the blonde with horror making it to his face in no small amount of quantity as he trembled and gagged trying to puke it out, Naruto just looked on in amusement.
"That clone is an incentive so you make the right decision Gatō-San, I will return in a few days for your answer if you try anything funny before that you better hope your stomach can stretch to the size of a 12-year-old blonde kukuku." With that said, Naruto opened Gatō's window and jumped on the frame as he grinned at the man giving him a peace sign before he leaped away.
Gatō shivered he made a mistake involving ninjas in his business now he was brought into their world a personal hell on earth. Gatō looked down at his stomach and thought about his life and the decisions he made, the people he hurt, and the money he made, contemplating whether or not he should take the chance to run away from the blonde demon and the demon of the mist.

"I can't believe he bought that hahahahahaha." Naruto laughed as he jumped through the bamboo field surrounding Gatō's mansion.
Naruto's clone did not survive its trip to Gatō's stomach. The stomach acid popped it the moment it reached its destination.
"Glad I couldn't see that experience, I'm gonna be so flipping rich if this deal pulls through, or is it strong-arming? Bleh WHO CARES!!" Naruto screamed out to the world his thoughts on what transpired and picked up speed leaping from bamboo tree to bamboo tree like a true ninja.

"When did you have the time to get the job done?" Team 7 along with Tazuna sat at the kitchen table back in Tazuna's house. The one to speak was of course Sasuke who had both his hands wrapped in a sling so he didn't move them too much.
"And what do you mean Hinata-Chan has a dojutsu now?" Sasuke had been questioning everything to come out of the dobe's mouth since he began retelling them his part in the mission it was a procedure they had to get through as Itachi wrote his report and Sasuke's since the boy couldn't use his hands. While Naruto wrote his and Hinata wrote hers.
"Why are we writing this anyway, isn't your report the only one that matters?" Naruto grumbled in irritation as he wrote down not only his part of the mission but His clone's parts as well, of course with so many things missing it could be called a false report.
"I am your sensei Naruto-Kun on everything ninja related that includes teaching you how to write a proper report." Itachi ideally explained not bothered by the blonde giving him stink eyes.
"Answer my question dobe." Sasuke demanded irritated at the fact Naruto ignored him.
"After our fight with Aoi Rokushō Naruto went over to Gatō's mansion to deal with Gatō once and for all." Hinata replied for the blonde who seemed to have that look in his eyes that said he had a new toy to play with and that toy was Sasuke the game to be played was the silent treatment.
"Where is the body?" Sasuke questioned again and Itachi stopped writing to look at Naruto wondering the same thing, Naruto sighed but answered simply.
"I left his corps in his mansion whether the thugs there did something to it or not I don't know." Naruto lied straight out his mouth, but to everybody else there besides Hinata who Naruto informed earlier about his plans for Gatō had reasons to think he was lying so they accepted the answer even Sasuke took it at face value.
"Now, Tazuna-San we will be staying until the completion of the bridge then we will be out of your hair." Itachi informed the bridge builder who had been all smiles since he heard the news of Gatō's fate.
"Don't worry Itachi-San (hiccup) you and these fine lads (hiccup) are welcome in Wave country whenever you like, (hiccup, hiccup) my home is your home." Tazuna had a little too much to drink to celebrate and to show his gratitude he began singing.
"The waves in the shoreside, don't mess with my home ground. I call leaf nin to get the job done. You don't wanna mess with Tazuna-San, the great bridge builder of love. Come on sing with me.!" Tazuna stood up from his sitting position and began repeating his lyrics.
"The waves in the shoreside, don't mess with my home ground. I call leaf nin to get the job done. You don't wanna mess with Tazuna-San, the great bridge builder of love!" Naruto jumped on the chance to drop his report and do something less boring and began singing joyously along with Tazuna.
Hinata watched the blonde she loved and shook her head only for the movements to catch Naruto's eyes he grabbed her and brought her to stand with him and Tazuna who placed his hands on Naruto's shoulders, while Naruto placed his around the man's back and the other on Hinata's back as they rocked left and right singing.
Hinata got the words wrong on multiple occasions Tazuna was too drunk to notice and Naruto wasn't any better. At the sound of singing Tsunami and her son came downstairs only for Inari to run up to his grandfather's side and begin singing.
Tsunami shook her head at her dad's behavior. She looked over at Itachi and found him smiling at the scene, Sasuke looked ready to send a great fireball at the scene in front of him and yet at the same time couldn't keep his eyes away from Hinata who was blushing up a storm trying to push away from Naruto who wouldn't let go.
The blond had the biggest grin on his face that threatened to split his face in half and her father who now had Inari in his arm as he sang the loudest and proudest of the group was so happy tears were trailing down his eyes. They were finally free.
'We are finally free Kaiza-Kun, thank you' Tsunami let one final tear drop from her left eye for the old days and promised herself she would move on to the brighter future gifted to them.

Three days later Naruto walked down the corridors of the Gatō mansion all the mercenaries there stood ready and attentive not even blinking. Gatō had told them he would be receiving a visitor today a blond boy who they should treat with the utmost respect and reverence.
"Ah, Odama!" Naruto exclaimed as he looked at the comedian of the Gatō estate. Odama blinked in confusion and pointed at himself.
"You know me?" He asked confused and Naruto nodded stretching out a hand that Odama shook only because of how confused he was.
"You are the great Odama-Sama, with a feared jutsu at your disposal and your swordplay that could make even me shake." Naruto boasted in fake awe and shook the man's hands vigorously. "What was it called again? Oh right!" Naruto exclaimed as he had the attention of the 6 mercenaries guarding the corridors.
"Flying Thunder God sword technique flash of absolute light." At Naruto's words, Odama's eyes widened in shock and he looked at Naruto like he ruined his life.
Odama heard a snicker in the group, followed by a snort from another then a chuckle, someone did a spit take, and finally, every soul in that corridor laughed including his best friend Rasen.
"Your infamous Wahahahaha..!!! Rasen teased laughing the loudest in the group and Odama decided the blond gaki was his new rival he would get him back as he became the laughingstock of the mercenary group.
"What is going on here!" Gatō stormed out of his room looking furious. Who dared be happy while he was going through a phase, while he was about to hand everything he owned to a 12-year-old brat?
"Your visitor arrived Gatō-Sama!" Naruto would say he was impressed by Rasen's ability to change demeanors the guy was as stiff as a board before Gatō even spoke, the laugh dying so quickly he was never part of the people Gatō glared at even better Gatō nodded at the man in respect.
"What is your name?" He asked the man and he saluted.
"Rasen Origami." He replied like a drill sergeant and Gatō nodded
"From now on you are in charge of his hood rats you are promoted." Gatō told him and scanned the rest of the 'hood rats' trying to induce fear in them the way ninjas did him.
Naruto snorted at the act gaining Gatō's attention who did not notice him before.
"Ohh ugh sir, I mean ughhhhhhhh." Gatō only then realized he never got his tormentor's name he was so caught up in his losses he had forgotten he didn't know his new boss's name.
"Let's talk inside Gatō-San." Naruto walked up to Gatō and the man left the door open for him to enter while he followed swiftly after him closing the door behind them.
"Bro, I'm your boss." Rasen whispered over to Odama in astonishment.
"Fuck you Rasen, you-you traitor!" Odama whispered out his thought on his best friend's promotion as he wondered who the blond was and what his relationship with Gatō could be.
AN
End of the wave arc, this chapter is a bit rushed but who cares nothing important happens here except some retelling and celebrations. Next chapter team seven leaves Wave and travels back to Konoha, they bump into a masked individual and shit hit the fan.
With Wave out the way...,. We have A few chapters before we hit the Chunin exams where we meet, Gara, Jiraya, team 9, and Orochimaru my plans for Kabuto and his spying skills are a bit lackadaisical but hey who said it won't come to me the moment I put Kabuto on screen like now.
I know it might seem a little anticlimactic but come On guys it's like the first arc using all the best plotlines now will only make the later arcs' final battles rinse and repeat or worse I end up killing someone important just to give it some oomph because I couldn't find another way to finish it.
