Did you guys see the way Will Smith smacked Chris Tucker?LOL. Will walked up on him and ain't say nothing, Then he walked off like a G. I'm dead yo. It's monday at the time i'm making this so by the time I post this it might be irrelevant but oh well.
Anyways I would like you guys and girls to give me some summoning idea contracts for Hinata. I was thinking of Owl's but I feel like everyone does that for Hinata so I want something different. And don't tell me to give her a damn dragon contract either. I might give her panthers or something, I'm not set and stone yet. I already know what I am giving Naruto so don't worry about that.
For those of you who read God of Highschool. Have you seen the recent episodes. I swear to god, If Mori turns into a damn baby again. I don't see why the hell they keep nerfing him. The last chapter was the perfect time to finally kill that asshole. Like they unsealed his power which caused a BLACK HOLE! Just so he could lose the power again. -_- LIke WTF
Anyways let's get to the story shall we.
Song of the day- At the Light by G Herbo
"How can I help you?" Naruto sent a kind smile towards Haku who was a bit surprised at the way Naruto smiled at him. It was like he knew him or something. But that was impossible. He hasn't seen a blonde like him in his life.
"Hi, My name is Haku. What is yours?" Haku gave Naruto his own kind smile.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. It's nice to meet you Haku. Can I ask what you are doing out here?" Naruto asked, But he already knew what Haku was doing out here.
"I am out looking for herbs to heal my father who was injured while working." Haku then looked around to see the forest seemed to be rich in herbs this foggy morning. "It seems that I won't have to look hard though."
"Yea, That's why I went to sleep right here. It was a nice and comfortable place." Naruto patted the ground.
"Why were you sleeping outside anyways? You don't want to get sick do you?"
Naruto only smirked at the boy. "I don't get sick, and I never will." Naruto patted his stomach. Haku not getting the hidden meaning behind it. "And I was outside training to get stronger."
Haku raised an eyebrow at the boy. "Stronger for what? Are you not strong enough? Are you getting strong for yourself or someone else?"
Naruto only gave him a warm smile. A smile of happiness but there was also some sadness in his eyes. For that Haku had no idea why he would be sad. "I have to become strong so I can protect those close to me." Naruto said with a smile only to frown a second later. "I was not strong enough." He thought to himself. "I get strong for those close to me, Because you are truly strong when you want to protect someone precious close to you."
Haku smiled at the boy's answers. He was glad someone also had the same beliefs that he had. "That is a great answer. I believe when there is someone close to you, That is when you become truly strong." Haku smiled with happiness.
Naruto got up and patted his dirty clothes off. "Alright let's get some herbs for your father." Naruto and Haku then began to pick herbs for a good part of the morning. They made some small talk while picking the herbs just enjoying talking to each other.
"Alright Haku, I think that should be enough for your dad to get better."
Haku bowed his head to Naruto. "Thanks again Naruto, I will be sure to tell my dad you helped him."
Naruto waved him off. "Don't even trip. Just make sure your dad stays away from the bridge, I would hate for him to…get hurt." Naruto sent Haku a look, But this one was different. Those warm eyes he had been looking into were now gone. Replaced with electric blue eyes gleaming in the fog with an ominous aura surrounding Naruto.
"He knows! H-how!" Haku started to sweat a little from the pressure Naruto was releasing. It was greater than his master. Haku reached behind him to make some Ice senbon but they melted as soon as they formed. "W-what the h-hell." Haku then took a step back.
Naruto seeing he had scared him enough, released the pressure and took his chakra back into his body. "See ya Haku." He turned around and gave him a wave over his shoulder. He did that to show he not only knew but was strong enough to threaten him and his master. He called that the 'Uzumaki method'. Make them think twice by threatening their ass.
Haku dropped to his knees when Naruto was out of her view. How? How was he so strong? He said he isn't strong enough? That must be a lie! He was the strongest person he had ever met. A shiver went down Haku's spine thinking how much stronger Naruto could get.
Naruto began to walk back to the house. He then stopped and made a shadow clone. "Follow Haku to his base and gather information." The clone nodded and dashed into the trees and hid itself. Naruto then turned his head when he felt the familiar chakra of Hinata.
Hinata walked through the tree line with her byakugan activated. She saw Naruto and ran up to him. "Naruto-kun!" She jumped in his arms and gave him a big hug.
Naruto caught her with little difficulty. Hinata wrapped her legs around his waist and her hands behind his neck. Naruto was holding her up from her well toned thighs. Hinata pulled back from the hug and gave Naruto a deep kiss on the lips. She had missed him that night and was a little worried about him.
"Thank you for that, Hinata-chan."
Hinata only smiled and got a little red on her cheeks. "You are welcome, Naruto-kun."
"So you came out here to look for me or were you trying to get me all to yourself." He sent her a smirk at the end making Hinata become a little red at what he was mentioning.
Hinata than smirked back at Naruto. "I already have you all to myself." She leaned in and gave him another peck on the lips. "And don't you forget that." She then moved to his back and rested her head on his shoulder. "Now let's go back, Kurenai-sensei wants to train."
Naruto began to walk with Hinata on his back. "What does she want to train in?"
"Our elemental affinities."
"That's great, I haven't been focusing on that much during our training."
"That's what I said, We've been so focused on taijutsu, The rest of our skills are not as good as they should be."
"What? You are excellent at your water affinity. You basically have it mastered." Naruto recalled all the things Hinata could do with her water jutsu. She almost flooded their secret spot last time.
"Duh! That's why I will be working on different elements."
"Like what?"
"Maybe Lighting or earth. I want to expand my jutsu."
"I see, Well since I have mastered the wind, I guess I can work on my fire element."
"That sounds good to me."
"Then I could make my own lion fist." Naruto gave Hinata a smirk.
Hinata giggled at him. "Are you going to call it fox fist?" They both laugh at the joke. "But I already showed you how to do the lion fist years ago, You just don't use it." Hinata was confused at that. When she first did it he was so excited to learn it but yet he never used it.
"Well that's because it's a clan move and I can't just use it in front of everyone, But if I use fire to cover my fist and shape it in a fox's head no one can say anything."
"Ohh, I get it." She gave Naruto a smile. One he returned with gusto.
They made the rest of the trip back to the house enjoying each other's company. A comfortable silence that they both enjoyed and used to sort out their own thoughts. Making it back to the house Naruto gave the door a knock and waited to hear footsteps.
"Coming!" He heard the voice of what sounded like Inari.
When the door opened Naruto and Hinata looked down to see Inari looking back at them from under his bucket hat. "N-n-naruto."
"That's my name, Don't wear it out." Naruto grinned down at the boy.
Inari bowed his head deeply to Naruto. The couple raised an eyebrow at the kid. "What is this all about kid?" Naruto asked. He had a good idea of what he wanted to say but better to let the kid finish.
"I want to apologize for what I said the other night. I was totally out of line and wished to say I am…sorry." Inari said with his head still tilted down.
Naruto looked at Hinata who only looked back at him. Before they both burst out laughing. Inari's head shot up, He quickly became angry. Here he was saying how sorry he was just for them to laugh in his face.
"Hey what gives! Why I atta." Inari stopped when Naruto put his heavy hand on his head and gave him that foxy grin.
"Do you think I'm a little girl? I've got thick skin." Naruto ruffled his head around causing the hat to fall down to cover his face.
"Inari-kun, We know you've had it hard." Hinata brought the boy into a warm hug. "But you can't let a couple of setbacks keep you down, You have to get back up and-" Hinata was cut off by Naruto.
"And keep kicking ass!" Naruto grinned down at Inari who had tears in the corner of his eyes.
Hinata sent Naruto a glare for using such bad language in front of a kid. Naruto put his hands up in surrender. "What Naruto-kun said is right, But don't pick up his bad language." Sending Naruto another glare. She turned back to Inari and smiled. "Do you understand?" Her tone was soft and loving.
Inari buried his head into Hinata's chest and wrapped his arms around her and let his tears fall. "I understand big sis." Naruto gave him another pat on the head and walked outside to the backyard.
Before he left outside he sent a smile and a wink to the crying Tsunami who had happy tears falling down her face. When Tsunami saw Naruto walk by she rushed and gave him a hug and thanked him. "Thank you Naruto-kun." Tsunami said with her head on Naruto's chest listening to his beating heart.
Naruto patted the women's silky black hair. "It was nothing Tsunami-chan." Tsunami pulled away from the hug and gave him another smile. "Now, I have got some training to do." Naruto walked into the backyard and saw team 7 trying to climb trees. Or at least Kiba and Sasuke were. Sakura was already at the top of the tree.
"Kakashi!" Naruto called to the man who was reading his orange book and leaning on a crutch.
Kakashi looked up from his book to see his sensei's son walking towards him. "Yo." Kakshi said in his ever present lazy tone.
"I heard you wanted to see me and my team for training, But I don't see my man Shino." Naruto looked around for his green coat wearing friend.
"Yes, He is guarding the bridge builder with Kurenai. She is most likely training him in something while they are just watching the man." Kakashi closed his book and looked towards Naruto who was staring at Sakura.
"Sakura!" The shout from Naruto grabbed her attention. "What are you doing just sitting there!"
Sakura waved and smiled. "I completed the exercise and am watching my team do it."
Naruto face palmed at the girl. "Sakura, You can't just walk up the tree one time and say you mastered it. Get down here."
"No! I worked hard to get up here." She crossed her arms and gave him a defiant look.
Naruto smirked up at the pink haired girl who was unnerved by his look. "Is that right?" Naruto said calmly.
"Yup, I am not coming down." Sakura said.
Naruto got an idea. He would use this on Sakura in his past life. "LOOK SASUKE'S TAKING HIS CLOTHES OFF!" Naruto made a gust of wind blow Sasuke's blue high collar shirt blow up in his face.
"WHERE!" Sakura said and looked around until she saw Sasuke messing with his shirt. She immediately started to think naughty things and her face became red. Naruto willed a giant wind fist to appear behind Sakura and it punched her off the tree branch.
Kakashi was amused at what he was seeing until he saw Naruto simply control the wind like it was second nature. That was top notch wind manipulation. How was a 13 year old kid able to control the wind so well?That wind fist formed in an instant behind Sakura.
"Naruto, how are you able to control the wind so easily?" Kakashi had a stern gaze in his one eye casted on Naruto. He wanted to know how and if it was the power of the 9 tails.
Naruto simply rolled his eyes. He already had an idea of what Kakashi was coming to. "It's not what you are thinking. I simply trained in my element since I was 8 years old with Hinata-chan. If I didn't have it mastered by now that would be sad."
That answered a little bit of Kakashi's questions but he was still curious. How did nobody notice Naruto and Hinata training since they were 8 years old. He would keep his good eye on the two.
"Well since you guys are so far ahead in terms of your chakra control. Is there anything else you need to train on?" Kakashi asked, opening his orange book once again.
"Yea, I want to train on my elemental affinities. I will work on my fire." He summoned his white flames that burned the grass he was standing on to black ashes.
Again Kakashi was surprised at the power of Naruto. This was really raising some red flags. Not only did he have his wind mastered but his flames were white! The hottest flames. Well, at least the normal kind of flames.
"Naruto-kun, Are you ready to train?" Hinata asked coming outside.
"NARUTO!" Sakura was running at Naruto with her fist cocked and ready to knock his block off. She threw her fist right towards his head but the blonde raised his right hand and magically. Sakura's hand stopped before making contact with Naruto's fist. "W-what are you doing?!"
Naruto raised an amused eyebrow at the pinket. "What are you talking about pinky?" A giant tick mark appeared on her giant forehead.
"WHY YOU!" Sakura tried to hit Naruto once again but the same thing happened. "What are you doing?" Sakura was irritated she couldn't hit the blonde for pushing her off the tree.
"To put it simply, You didn't hit me." Naruto held his palm out to Sakura. "Put your hand out." Naruto said in a childish tone. "Come on, Come on." He wiggled his fingers while speaking in that childish tone.
Sakura looked reluctant at first but then walked up and placed her hand on Naruto's. It stopped. Her hand could not go any further. "What the hell!"
"I'm not stopping your hand, It's more of me keeping you from your goal." Naruto voiced the answer he was sure everyone needed.
"We could just shake hands like this, You know." Naruto moved his hand onto Sakura's and linked their fingers making the pink-haired girl blush while Hinata glared at Naruto.
"Damn You!" Sakura tried to hit Naruto again, but was blasted away by a strong wind gust created by Naruto. The blonde turned around and saw Hinata giving him a glare.
"Say Hinata-chan, let's go train." Naruto walked off with Hinata who rushed and gave him a palm thrust to the back. Sending him flying into the forest with a cry.
Hinata nodded like a noble and walked off with a hmph. Sasuke, Kiba, And Kakashi sweatdropped and only got back to training.
Hinata made it to Naruto's position and still glared at him, Making Naruto stop his fire element training.
Naruto, seeing this let out a sigh."Maybe I shouldn't have done that."
"You think." Kurama chipped in with clear amusement.
"Shut it!" Naruto yelled in his mind to the laughing fox. He walked up to Hinata who only turned her head. Not even wanting to look at him. "Look, I'm sorry for grabbing her hand like that." Naruto said. He still got nothing out of Hinata. He grabbed her hand and held it tight, Not letting her pull it back.
"Let me go!" Hinata tried to pull her hand away, But to no avail. Naruto then pulled Hinata to his chest. The violet haired girl tried to wiggle out of the hug but Naruto was not letting her go. Hinata soon stopped and just laid her head on Naruto's shoulder.
"I'm sorry." Naruto ran a hand through Hinata's hair that reached past her shoulders.
"You won't do that again?" Hinata asked, Enjoying the way Naruto ran his hands through her silky smooth hair.
"I promise. I only did that to show off my new skill."
Hinata then wrapped her arms around Naruto, Making them both smile. He loved Hinata and that would never change. In this life or the next.
"What was that anyways?" Hinata was curious at the skill as well.
Naruto smirked. "It's pure wind manipulation. I simply adjust the wind pressure."
Hinata hummed her response. She was surprised at the answer she got from Naruto. If he controlled the wind pressure, This could open a whole new lane of opportunities.
"Wind is not just used for attacking. Wind has many ways it can be used. To truly master an element is to realize all the possibilities of that element." Naruto created a compressed ball of air the size of a kitchen table. Naruto then sat down on top of it, shocking Hinata.
Naruto then stood up and sent that same ball into a tree which was shortly destroyed. "See." Naruto sent her a grin.
Hinata made an O face, making her look cute with those big white eyes. "I see. Will you also get your fire to the same level?"
"You bet your sweet ass I will." Hinata smirked at the answer she got from Naruto. If this was a couple of years ago she would have probably blushed up a storm and fainted but growing up with Naruto she became confident and strong. She loved her body and was sure Naruto loved it even more if the way he would sometimes stare at her was anything. She wanted to tease him a bit but put it on hold when she remembered they had to train.
Naruto made the hand sign for shadow clone jutsu. Just like that the familiar sound of shadow clones popping into existence was heard. He was soon followed by Hinata who made her own shadow clones to join him. They then trained the day away in controlling their elements while also touching up on anything else that came to mind. Hinata had some clones practice her Flowing fist style vs her Hakuda.
Later
Everyone was at the dinner table eating. The atmosphere was much better from yesterday night. They were all laughing and telling stories from their lives no matter how long or short. Even Sasuke and Inari were laughing and having a good time. However.
Naruto saw that look in Sasuke's eyes. He didn't like it. He has seen him with that same look before.
Jealousy.
This was a major reason Sasuke left the village in his past life. He was jealous of how strong Naruto was getting. Sasuke felt left behind as if he was standing still while Naruto was in a full sprint. Naruto didn't want to kill Sasuke but if he had to. He would. But that made him think about old man Haguromo. Would he meet Sasuke and give him his powers again or not.
Naruto had tried his best to make friends with the boy and he could say that they had indeed become friends. But just like last time, Sasuke was jealous, Angry, and hated the fact that someone he thought was a loser kept passing him in power. Even during the war he was jealous of Naruto's power and all the support he got from all the ninja's over the world.
Hinata seeing Naruto's face and how hard he seemed to be thinking about something placed a gentle hand on his thigh. Naruto looked at Hinata who gave him that beautiful smile. He blushed a bit at how gorgeous Hinata was. Hinata, seeing his blush, giggled quietly to herself and gave him a teasing wink. Naruto pouted childishly.
He stopped when he got the memories of the clone he had sent after Haku. It seemed she made some other stops before going straight to Zabuza's hideout. Naruto now knew where they were and would do something about it. He cleared his throat, gaining everyone's attention in the room.
"I have just received the memories of my shadow clone." Kakashi's eyes widened at what Naruto just said. How does a genin know that kind of jutsu. He looked towards Kurenai to see if she knew about this. From her smiling face it seemed she already knew he could use the jutsu. He would have to report this to the hokage. Kakashi didn't want to think the worst had happened and Naruto has been in contact with that beast but he would.
"What did the clone tell you?" Shino asked in his quiet voice.
Naruto smirked. "I now know where Zabuza is located."
This got a gasp from everyone except for Hinata. Even Shino sounded as if he was shocked at what Naruto said. Hinata had known Naruto for years and figured that he would do something like this.
"The question now is, What do we do with this information?" Shino questions pushing his shades up.
"Why don't you just go and kill him?!" Tazuna question. If they knew where he was, Why not just go and off the guy in his sleep.
"If it was as simple as just going up and killing him. Then Zabuza would have been dead years ago." Kakashi said with a focused eye for once.
"I think we should go and see if we can persuade him." Naruto put in his thoughts. He didn't want them to die this time, Not if he could help it.
Sasuke looked at Naruto in a funny way. What the hell was he talking about persuading? They are his enemies. "We should just kill them and be done with this whole mission. Trying to talk them on to our side would be foolish and a waste of time." Sasuke spoke as if what he said ended the whole conversation. As if he was the judge closing the case.
Naruto sent Sasuke an icy glare that made the boy flinch a little. "Yesterday's enemy can be tomorrow's ally." Naruto recalled a lesson he had learned in his past life. It was a true life skill that can come in handy.
"That doesn't even make sense, Why would you want to be friends with your enemy!" Sasuke shouted to Naruto, Getting up from his seat. He did not like how Naruto was trying to handle this situation. If you could destroy your enemy now while they are weak. You destroy them.
Naruto glared at Sasuke and added a little KI. This made Sasuke sit back down in his seat while still sending the glare towards Naruto. "Zabuza can easily make this whole mission a lot easier on us if we can get him to our side or at least make him work with us." Naruto already knew where Sasuke's mind was going. He was starting to think like he did when he had gotten his eternal mangekyou sharingan. Just kill whatever or whoever was in your way. That was not good. DId him making contact with Sasuke cause him to shift this far down that dark path so fast.
"Naruto is right, Sasuke. If we can find a way to convince Zabuza to help us we could possibly finish the mission faster and more effectively." Kakashi spoke in a lecturing tone. He wanted his students to hear the surprisingly mature words of Naruto.
"Hmph." Sasuke said and got up from his seat and walked off. Sakura was about to go after him but Kakashi stopped her and shook his head.
Naruto looked at Sasuke's back for a second longer. He imagined the older Sasuke walking beside him. He was able to get through Sasuke last time but he nearly died just to do it. He was naive back then and would not be able to just look at Sasuke with black and white vision. He shook those thoughts off and got back to the subject at hand.
"Me and my team could sneak into the base and speak to him." Naruto proposed.
Kurenai widened her eyes at Naruto. She didn't think he would suggest something like that. Naruto saw her look and smirked. "Don't look so surprised. Our team was made to search and destroy."
"Yes, I know, But this is too dangerous." Kurenai was still surprised that Naruto would suggest such a thing.
"Kurenai-sensei, We have all trained hard for this, And if things get out of hand we can easily defeat whoever comes after us." Naruto reasoned with the ruby eyed woman.
All of team 8 looked at Kurenai with pleading eyes, Even Shino seemed to be looking at her behind those dark shades of his. "Fine." Kurenai relented. "We will do this right and you all listen to me." Kurenai said sternly looking at her students.
"Great! We leave whenever you guys are ready." Naruto picked up the dishes and walked to the kitchen.
Tsunami seeing the ninja talk was done, Followed the spiky haired blonde. "Naruto-kun, You don't have to do this." Tsunami gently pushed Naruto from over the sink.
"Nonsense, It's the least I can do." Naruto said. He was going to go and get the other plates but was stopped by Tsunami.
"You have a mission to prepare for, Go and rest." Tsunami spoke in a soft tone. Naruto had already done so much for her and she couldn't have him do anything else.
"But." That was all Naruto got to say when he was hit with that smile he had seen on Unohana.
"Naruto-kun, Go rest." Tsunami said in that sweet tone that made him shiver. Back in the leaf village, Unohana sneezed.
"Yes ma'am." Naruto walked off and sat on the couch. Hinata sent Tsunami a thumbs up, Making the older woman grin at her. Someone had to keep these men in line.
1 Hour later
"Okay team, It's go time." Kurenai was outside the house with the rest of everyone.
She got a nood from everyone on the team. They had worked for things like this. "I will lead since I know where the place is." Naruto walked up and tightened the black gloves he had decided to put on.
"Sounds good." Kurenai gave Naruto the ok.
"Do you have everything you need?" Hinata asked going over her gear once again.
"Yes, Do you have the emergencency bug I gave you guys?"
"Yes." Kurenai, Hinata, and Naruto replied at the same time. They all let out slight chuckles.
Kakashi was looking at the team coordinate so effectively. That's what he wanted for his team. He wanted them to trust each other like that. He glanced at his students to see their reaction. Sakura's green eyes seemed to be more green with envy. Kiba's alpha pride seemed to be in check for once. Sasuke seemed to be angry if his clenched fist were anything.
"Are you sure you can handle this Kurenai?"
Instead of Kurenai answering, it was Naruto. "Our sensei is perfectly fine. We got this. Just believe in us." Naruto answered with a stern expression. The blonde then stuck his fist out towards Kakashi who looked at it with confusion. He then slowly raised his own fist and connected it with Naruto's making the blonde grin. He then turned his back making his orange cloack flap and for a moment Kakashi saw his sensei where Naruto was. However, Naruto then took his haori off as if to say he wasn't his dad but Naruto Uzumaki. He put the haori up leaving him in his all black vest and pants. He sealed the haori in a seal where it would be safe.
"Let's go." Naruto then jumped off in the trees followed by his teammates.
Kakashi then let out a tired sigh. "Alright guys, Let's go inside." Kakashi pushed his students inside.
"No, I want to train some more." Sasuke said and walked over to a tree to continue the tree walking.
Kakashi sighed at Sasuke. "Fine, Just let Sakura help you."
Sakura jumped in surprise. "M-me." She pointed to herself.
Sasuke was about to shoot her down but stopped when the words of Naruto went through his head. "You are never alone, You are only truly alone when you die. Allow us to help you, Sasuke." He glanced at the hopeful Sakura. Gritting his teeth.
"Fine."
Sakura partially squealed. It was true she wasn't a huge fangirl anymore but Sasuke wanted her help and she just couldn't help it.
"H-hey, I want to help too!" Kiba ran back outside followed by his barking friend.
Kakashi watched his team bond and gave a smile under his mask. It seemed that watching team 8 has made them have a little change of heart. He would have to thank Kurenai with some drinks.
Team 8
They were nothing but blurs in the forest. Only being spotted by the moonlight rays.
Naruto paid a glance to the moon. He wondered if Kaguya was up there watching him, Along with Toneri. Thinking of that certain guy made him angry. He would be damned if he let that asshole take his woman again.
He left those thoughts for some other time. Right now he had a mission and people to save. Naruto jumped from tree to tree with his team behind him. "We are almost there." Naruto said to his team behind him.
They all nodded and kept up in the silence of the night. They could see what looked like a giant stone bunker covered by a thick tree line. There also seemed to be a lake in the back of the bunker which had a two story white yacht sitting on the lake in the back. Naruto could sense the chakra signature of Haku in the base along with what he guessed was Zabuza. However he could feel another strong chakra signature in there. It seemed weak but also had some hidden strength that was locked away.
"Seems things are different from last time, But this is no problem." Naruto looked at Hinata and she seemed to get what he was going to ask. Hinata activated her Byakugan wordlessly. The veins on the side of her face made themselves known along with the small pupils in her eyes.
"I see the two strong signatures. Wait, There is another one. He seems to be jonin level as well but I can see he has the same kind of mark that Mitarashi-san had." Hinata turned off her byakugan. "Zabuza and Haku are located at the top of the base with two guards watching the door." Hinata drew a layout of the place on the tree branch with her finger blade that was made from chakra.
"Where is the other person?" Kurenai asked. She was a little worried about someone having a curse mark working for Gato.
"He is on the first floor in his own room. It looked like he was meditating." Hinata answered by drawing an X on the map where he was. "There are also multiple bandits that are just wandering the halls with weapons."
"Was Gato there?" Naruto asked. If Gato was there they could just end the mission and go home.
"No, It seems he is out somewhere." Hinata said a little disappointed.
Naruto cursed under his breath. "Were there any hostages in the base?" Naruto questioned.
"No, I suspect they are in a different location." Hinata answered his question with a downcast look.
Shino placed a hand on Hinata's shoulder. "Don't worry, We can search the place and see if there is something that would give them away." Shino was not one to brighten the mood of people, But for his teammates he would.
Hinata gave him a grateful smile in return. "Thank you, Shino." The boy only nodded.
Kurenai then spoke up. "Okay here is the plan. Shino, you send some of your bugs out to cover us and provide support. Naruto, Head towards Zabuza's room and try to convince them. I will move with Hinata and try to locate anything we can use again't Gato." Kurenai gave them all orders and her team nodded.
Naruto had one question though. "What about the other jonin in the lower area of the base?"
Kurenai thought about it for a second. "We will stay clear of them for now, They are not our main mission." That satisfied Naruto.
"Alright team, Let's make this nice and easy. In and out." Naruto said to give his teammates some morale. They all nodded and smiled while Shino only buzzed in agreement. "Break." Naruto said and vanished followed by HInata and Kurenai while Shino let his insects flow out of his body.
Naruto appeared back on the wall where he could feel Haku's chakra. He used chakra to stick to the wall and made his way up the building in silence. He could see a window and peered through it to see Zabuza laying in the bed asleep. Haku was in a chair with a white bunny in his lap sleep.
Naruto activated the Chameleon Jutsu he learned from Jirayia in his past life. He silently opened the window and entered the room in a crouch without a sound. He stood up and looked at Zabuza to see he was still sleeping along with Haku and the white rabbit. Naruto walked over to the door and went through hand signs. A silencing seal spread across the whole room. It would block all sound and make it impossible for anything to leak out of the room.
Naruto had to duck and ice spear that was aimed for his head. He quickly ran his hand over his face were he had his mask in a seal. The mask appeared on his face and he quickly entered Realmheart and made his own ice spears to counteract Haku's.
Haku froze from seeing the ice spears float around Naruto menacingly. How was this possible?! He was the only Yuki remaining, But yet, The boy he had met earlier was now in front of him using ice style without even using hand signs. How could that be?! Naruto was better at using ice style better than he was.
Zabuza had woken when he felt Naruto's power spike in the room. He sat up and grabbed the kunai he had under his blanket and threw it towards Naruto not even noticing he was using ice style or that he was the source of all that power.
Naruto only had one of the ice spears transform into a small shield and block the kunai for him. Again, Haku was shocked at how easily that looked for Naruto. It looked like Naruto was still staring at him and the ice had a mind of its own. "Stand down, I am only here to talk."
"You say that, But yet you are fighting my tool." Zabuza said, holding another Kunai ready for anything. Even if he wasn't able to move.
Naruto glared at the man for that and released a massive amount of KI on Zabuza. For a moment, The lavender eyes of Naruto turned to a slit and became a shade of red. "Don't say that again." Naruto spoke in a icey tone. He would save the man, But would have him stop calling Haku that.
Zabuza was seeing his own death. There was a giant 9 tailed fox behind Naruto and it had its fangs in view along with those red eyes that portrayed danger and death. How was this kid so strong?! He was the demon of the mist but in front of this child, He felt like the child and Naruto was the demon. Was this how the kids he killed that time felt.
Haku, seeing his master was in danger, readied his ice senbon but a glance from Naruto froze him in his step. "I do not wish to fight, If I wanted you dead, You wouldn't have known I was here." Naruto stopped his KI and looked at the two while still in his Realmheart. "Speaking of that. How did you know I was here anyways?"
Haku answered shakely. "I-it was Chappy." Haku pointed to his white bunny who was shaking in the corner. "H-he is sensitive to chakra and woke me up when he felt you enter the room."
For a moment panic took over Naruto. Was there a way for Chappy to alert anyone else of his team that is also in the building. He shook that off. It was ridiculous and plus he sealed the room off. "Okay, Now as for why I am here." Naruto deactivated his sage mode and put the mask back in the sealing formula that was on his eyebrow. He had an invisible seal on top of it so nobody could see it.
"I want you guys to betray Gato and work with us." Naruto said seriously.
"And why the hell would we do that?" Zabuza questioned rather angrily. He would not follow some kid, No matter how strong he was.
"Because Gato will betray you and I also know your true goal." Naruto had a smirk plastered on his face. He had learned of Zabuza's true goal from Mei Terumi in his past life. She had told him Zabuza had left so he could gather money for the forces.
Zabuza's eyed Narrowed on Naruto. He had a look on his face that said he knew something you didn't. "And what might that be?"
"You are trying to gather money for the rebels in the mist." Naruto's smirk grew when he saw the shock look on both Zabuza and Haku.
"And what do you need us for?!" Zabuza asked. He had no idea how this blonde knew that but it didn't matter.
"I just want you to betray Gato before he betrays you."
"And how do you suggest I do that?"
Naruto smiled at stringing Zabuza along. "When we meet at the bridge." Zabuza raised an eyebrow that didn't exist. "Why are you doing that? You don't have any eyebrows."
Zabuza gained a tick mark on his forehead and Haku chuckled to himself but stopped when Zabuza glared at the boy. "Shut it brat, Before I kill you."
Naruto smirked. "Oh yea no brows." Zabuza was ready to leap from his bed and stab Naruto. He stopped when he saw Naruto swipe his hand down and an intense chakra blade extended from his pointer and middle fingers. The blade glowed brightly in the dark room only matched by the glowing sky blue eyes of Naruto. With a flick of his wrist the chakra blade was gone. Nothing needed to be said. Naruto gave a silent threat and Zabuza was sure he could carry out that threat.
"Now, I want you guys to act like you are still working for Gato until we get on the bridge. You can still fight but only fight hard enough to leave little scratches. "Both Zabuza and Haku nodded with Naruto. Zabuza would partner up with the boy for now and if he did then so would Haku. Naruto smiled seeing them work with him. "Haku, I want you to actually try against Sasuke Uchiha. Don't kill him but at least put up a fight were he would feel like he would die." Haku nodded. She didn't know why he would want that for his teammate. Zabuza already knew what Naruto was going for and had to give the kid props. Zabuza guessed the kid didn't have his pink eye yet.
"Gato will most likely show up when he thinks we are all weak and that is when we will kill him and just take what we need." Zabuza nodded and Naruto's plan. He could see this working out but there was one problem.
"Gato hired a new guy. He is some skinny kid with white hair and two read dots on his forehead." Zabuza remembered that skinny kid who called him trash. Zabuza wanted to cut his damn head off and feed his blade.
"Yes, I am aware of this person. When the time comes, I will fight him." Naruto said with such confidence at the end that Zabuza smirked under his bandages. There was just something about this kid. He felt as if he could just believe in him.
"You got yourself a deal!" Zabuza had a grin on his face but nobody could see it. Naruto only smiled at the bandaged man.
"You also need to treat Haku better. You better tell him the truth. Or else." Naruto summoned his mask and entered Realmheart once more, Letting the pressure of his dense chakra fall down on Zabuza.
"Y-yes." Zabuza said Shakley.
"Great." The pressure faded and Naruto walked over to the window. "I will see you when I see you." He left out the window to regroup with Shino.
Kurenai and Hinata
While Naruto was upstairs talking to Zabuza, Hinata and Kurenai were going from room to room looking to see if they could find anything useful. They had not been successful in that.
Hinata was using her bloodline to see if she could find anything useful but all she got for her efforts were bandits who went down in one hit and empty rooms with papers about future plans.
Kurenai would simply place her victims in a high level genjutsu that would knock them out in an instant. Kurenai wondered how Naruto was doing. She had really grown attached to her students. She was like their older sister who would answer all of their questions and life advice. Kurenai stopped when Hinata had froze where she was moving.
"Sensei, Put us in a cloaking genjutsu." Hinata said in a loud whisper.
Kurenai sped through hand signs and placed them under one that made them both become invisible to the naked eye.
That is when she saw the person walk past them. He walked in a calm and confident way. As if nothing could take him down. He had an emotionless face that gave nothing away. His long white hair swayed with his steps, followed by his purple rope that he used as a belt. His emerald green eye looked right at Kurenai. She froze. It was as if time had stopped and he was looking directly into her soul with that emotionless face he had.
He definitely knew they were their but yet he did nothing. Kurenai watched as the white haired teen walked away with his calm steps. Kurenai was still tense, Ready for anything. When he turned the corner Kurenai waited for a little longer just in case. She released the jutsu and let out a sigh she didn't know she was holding.
"That was a close one, But I could have taken him down if it had gone south." Hinata said with her byakugan activated and watching the teen walk away.
"Let's just get out of here. We will regroup with the team and go over what we got." Kurenai wanted to leave before anything else would go wrong. They then left the building avoiding everyone until they got outside to find Naruto and Shino talking.
"Hey you guys. Did everything go well?" Naruto was the first to ask.
"Yes and no. We didn't find anything so we were safe." Hinata answered his question,
"I am sensing a but." Naruto replied.
"Yes, We ran into the other person Gato hired and he spotted us." Kurenai said, Making Naruto and Shino surprised.
"But you guys are fine." Shino said, He noticed they looked alright and were not even out of breath.
"Well…He just let us go." Hinata said.
"Who cares, You guys are alright and that's all that matters. Let's go tell the others what we got." Naruto got to his feet after his statement.
"Let's." Kurenai said and they all then dashed off into the forest.
It is now Thursday and the will smith slap has become world wide.
Sorry for taking so long to update. I know I usually be pumping these out left and right but I was busy. I just got a new job and won't be able to be as frequent. I will still try to update as best as I can, But I will most likely no longer be constant in my uploads.
Anyways don't forget to review and tell me what you think. I also just want to tell you right now. Naruto is not using infinity. I won't have him just block everything with the new wind skill. So don't be trying to get on my case. This is fanfiction and I can do whatever the hell I want. If you got a problem with that, come see me in the streets!
