13: Haku's Secret Jutsu: Crystal Ice Mirrors!
Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden, and Naruto would have his father's smarts while keeping his mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Ryurama Senju, Yuki Senju nee Miran, Raika Miran (Senju), & the White Tiger Summoning Contract (A/N: If there is already a White Tiger Summoning Contract…then please ignore the last part). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also, if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!
…My Line…
"Inari!" Tsunami called out. "Can you give me a hand here!? Inari!"
"I'll be right there!" the kid called back.
…My Line…
The two bodyguards of Gato stood outside of the house with a smirk as they started to unsheathe the blades at their sides.
...My Line...
"This mist…" the Hatake mumbled as mist started to roll in. "Sasuke, Sakura, Raika get ready." Sasuke and Sakura moved to protect Tazuna while the Miran stood in front of them in a defensive stance. "I knew he was alive. He just couldn't wait for round 2."
"Kakashi-Sensei, it's Zabuza isn't?" Sakura asked. "This is his Hidden Mist Jutsu."
"Sorry to keep you waiting Kakashi," Zabuza's voice sounded around them. "I see you still have those brats with you." The greenette could hear Sasuke trembling from behind her. "That one's still trembling. Pitiful."
At that moment they were all surrounded by Zabuza's Water Clones, but Sasuke smirked.
"I'm trembling with...excitement," Sasuke told him.
"Go on Sasuke," Kakashi approved.
Sasuke moved with quick reflexes and was able to destroy all of the clones before he landed back in place.
'I can see it,' he thought.
"Oh, so you could see they were Water Clones, uh?" Zabuza asked as he and his two goons came into view. "The brat's improving. Looks like you got a rival Haku."
"So, it seems," Haku agreed.
Raika and Sasuke glared at Zabuza's goon as they ready their weapons.
...My Line...
Naruto quickly ran and jumped through the forest before taking to the trees once again.
"Gah, I really hope I'm not too late," the blonde said to himself.
...My Line...
Raika growled as she glared at two enemy ninjas ahead of them.
"Well, well, so I had it right," Kakashi stated. "It was all just an act."
"An act?"
"With cute little masks, too."
"Big Phony," Sasuke stated while Sakura yelled in disbelief.
"So, I guess all that stuff about being Tracker Ninjas protecting their village was all bunch of bull?" Tazuna asked.
"They look pretty chummy to me," Kakashi answered. "I'll say they have been pulling scams like that for a long time."
"They got some nerve to face us again after pulling that trick," Sakura stated.
"And hiding behind that mask," Kakashi went on. "Who do they think their fooling?"
"Speak for yourself Sensei."
"For once, I'm with Haruno, Hatake," the greenette deadpan.
'Why does she call me, Hatake?' the Hatake thought with a sweatdrop.
The pinkette giggled slightly though she felt surprised that Raika was agreeing with her.
"That's it I'm taking them out," Sasuke said. "Who do they think their fooling? Hiding behind those masks like some sort of clowns.
"Sasuke, your so cool!"
The Miran sweatdropped as the urge to hit Sakura pulsed through her.
'Wait a second didn't I just say that?' Kakashi thought. 'She'll never change.'
"He's impressive," Haku stated making Zabuza snort. "Even though they were just 1/10th the strength of the original Water Clone Jutsu. He did destroy them all."
"That move still gave us the first advantage," Zabuza told him. "Now use it."
"Right," Haku agreed before he moved quickly.
"What's this?" Sasuke asked.
Even Raika looked shocked at the speed, but unlike the rest expect for Kakashi, she could keep up with the speed thanks to her own speed training.
...My Line...
Just then the door of Tazuna's family house was cut down making the young woman inside to look behind her in time to see the two thugs standing there.
"So, your Tazuna's Daughter, huh?" the shoulder length, white hair one asked. "Too bad. You'll have to come with us now."
The sound of something breaking and the crashing of the door followed Tsunami's scream got Inari's attention before he ran out to see what was wrong.
"Mother!" he called out.
"NO!" his Mother yelled. "Don't come out here! Run away! Hurry!"
"Don't move," the first one said.
"Should we grab this one, too?" the guy's partner asked.
"No," the white hair male answered. "Gato asked for just one hostage."
'Hostage?'
"Alright," the second male said with a blood thirsty grin. "Let's waste 'im!"
"WAIT!" Tsunami yelled as Inari hide. "Please don't hurt my son? I'm begging you. He's just a boy. I'll do anything...Just please don't hurt him?"
The white hair male smirked at that.
"Looks like your mom came through for you kid," the male stated. "Lucky."
Inari fell to his knees crying.
"What a waste," the second man sighed. "I was in the mood to cut something."
"Give it a rest," his partner said. "You've already drew blood today." He then walked over to Tsunami and grabbed her. "Let's get her out of here."
Inari was shown crying as his Mother was tied up.
"I'm sorry, Mom," he sobbed as she was laid out. "I'm sorry." Inari held his knees to his chest. "What can I do? I'm too weak to protect you. I'm scared. I don't want to die."
...My Line...
"Coward!" was the growled reply from Naruto. "Listen to yourself always whining and complaining like some sorry little victim! You can whimper all day for all I care! You just a coward!"
"You're the one, who doesn't know what it's like to suffer," the greenette added. "At least you have a mother and a grandfather to look after you which is more than I can say for most people have. Next time don't open your big fat mouth without knowing a person cause they may just kill you for the slight."
...My Line...
"My guess is that they got tired of crying and decided to do something about it. Even though their young and still learning, they know what it means to be strong. Like your father did."
...My Line...
Inari looked at his hands as he cried.
...My Line...
"If you really care about something then protect it even if you have to lay your life on the line. Protect it with both arms."
...My Line...
The little kid whipped his eyes before his Mother flashed through his mind.
...My Line...
"Inari."
...My Line...
The other three members of Squad 7 followed by his mother and grandfather then the best friends flashed across his thoughts.
"Can I...can I be that strong, too?" Inari asked as his father appeared in his thoughts before he stood up. "Father."
...My Line...
The shirtless man let out a laugh as he looked at the young woman.
"We're going to treat you just fine, so don't worry your pretty little head," he stated.
"Come on," his white hair partner said as he pulled on the rope. "Just keep walking."
"STOP!" Inari yelled making them to look at him.
"Well, well, if it isn't the little tough guy.
"Inari!"
"How cute. You came to save your mommy."
"You...You better get away from my...MOM!" Inari yelled as he ran towards them.
"Inari! No!"
"This kid is a little short on brains, don't you think?"
"Take him down."
"If you hurt him, I swear I'll…"
"Shut up," the white hair male said as he chopped her on the neck. "Take a nap."
"Inari."
The two of them unsheathed their swords.
...My Line...
Sasuke and Haku meet each other with either a kunai or senbone.
'So he can keep with Haku's speed, huh?' Zabuza thought as he watched the two young boys fight each other.
'Hmmm,' Kakashi thought. "Sakura cover Tazuna and stay close to me. Let Sasuke handle this. Raika be ready to jump in if needed."
Sakura nodded as she jumped in front of the bridge-builder while Raika stood ready to jump into the fight when she had to.
"I want the bridge-builder not you," Haku told Sasuke. "If you back down I won't have to kill you."
"Save it," Sasuke told him.
"You're making a mistake," Haku told them. "You won't be able to keep up with my speed. I've gain two key advantages."
"Yeah?" Sasuke asked. "What are they?"
"First you are surrounded by water, second I blocked one of your hands there for you only have one free hand to defend yourself with," Haku answered.
Haku started to do hand signs with one hand making Sasuke gasp in shock.
'What?' Sasuke thought in shock. 'Using one hand?'
'Hands signs with one hand?' Kakashi thought in shock. 'I've never seen that before.'
"Secret Jutsu: A Thousand Needles of Death," Haku said.
'He doesn't want to kill the kid?' Zabuza thought as he watched the two fights. 'Does he mean that?'
"Sasuke," Sakura called out in worry.
'Remember the training,' Sasuke thought. 'Focus. Summon my Chakra at once.'
...My Line...
Inari's hat goes flying as the two swordsmen sheathed their sword, however, the sound of wood hitting wood were heard making them to look over their shoulders.
"Substitution Jutsu!"
"The woman...she's gone."
"Sorry, I'm a little late," a familiar male said.
The thugs looked over to see Naruto, who was putting Tsunami down gently, though he held onto Inari.
"Huh? Who is that?"
"You know, Heroes usually show up at the last minute," Naruto stated as Inari looked at him in surprise.
"Naruto, it's you."
"Who else?" the Uzumaki asked as he sat Inari down before looking at him with a smile. "Inari, you did great."
"Huh?"
"When you charged, they forgot about your mom for a minute," the blonde told him. "That gave me the chance to use a cool jutsu to get her away from them."
"Naruto, how did you know that those Samurai guys were coming here?" the kid asked.
"Well, first, Samurai have honor while these guys do not," Naruto told him. "And second...huh...in the forest I found a boar that had been attacked and the trees were all cut up, too. Like someone had been practicing with a sword or something. The cuts lead back towards the house, so I followed them here."
"That was very smart."
"Blah, blah, blah. It's one of those puny Ninja brats that Tazuna hired."
"Get 'em."
"Yeah, alright."
"Their coming!"
Naruto pulled out two shurikens and threw them at the two thugs, who used their swords to block them.
"Try something else!"
The blonde stood up, turned around, smiled at them, clapped his hands together in the snake sign, and then slammed his palms onto the wooden docks.
"I just did."
"I want him! He's mine!"
Just then tree like branches shot out of the dock and wrapped around the two wannabe samurais. Two clones of Naruto appeared behind them and then knocked them out with well-placed kicks.
"You did it!" Inari said as the two clones vanish.
"Yeah, ya know!"
"That was so excellent!" the kid laughed. "Like a real ninja!"
"You twerp," the Uzumaki sighed. "I am a real Ninja. That's what I've been telling you."
The two of them just laughed like idiots.
...My Line...
'Summon my Chakra at once and direct it to my feet,' the Uchiha thought.
The both of them then jumped out of the way as the needles came raining down on them.
"Shouldn't have left water on the ground," a female voice was heard the moment Haku landed. "LIGHTING STYLE: HUNTING LIGHTING TIGERS!"
10 tigers made of lighting formed before they let lose a howl and ran at full speed towards the two rogues.
"What?!" Zabuza yelled before he and Haku jumped out of the way of the tigers.
Haku then started looking around for Sasuke once he landed and noticed that the young Uchiha wasn't in sight.
'He vanished,' Haku thought before looking up to see that Sasuke had jumped up.
"You're not at fast as you think," Sasuke told them before the Uchiha attacked Haku. "From this point on you'll be the ones defending from my attacks."
Sasuke tried different methods of fighting before he was able to land a kick on Haku sending him back to where Zabuza was.
'It's not possible,' Zabuza thought. 'No one's faster than Haku.'
"Thought you were quicker, huh?" Sasuke asked. "Well, what else were you wrong about?"
The greenette's eyes narrowed even more as she looked at Zabuza and Haku, who was struggling to set up, before she suddenly appeared behind the sword wielding rouge with a blue sphere spinning in her hand…something that she learned from Jiraiya of the Sannin when he had been in the village for two weeks just to train her in the sealing arts.
"RASENGAN!"
The Momochi looked behind him with wide eyes to see the sphere that was aimed at his back before he jumped away which allowed the ball of chakra to slam into the ground making a crater.
'That's…' Kakashi thought in shock at seeing that jutsu again. 'How did she find the stages to learning it?' The silver hair Jonin smirked at the two rogues. "You made a big mistake by insulting these Ninjas and calling them brats. That's just granted to bring out Sasuke attitude. He's the best young fighter of the Hidden Leaf Village." Kakashi then motioned to the red hair Uzumaki. "And Raika is our feistiest, slightly short-tempered, and very strongest young Kunoichi since Lady Tsunade, herself, and Sakura here is our sharpest mind."
'Ha!' Inner Sakura laughed. 'CHA! Am I bad or what?'
"And last, but least is our number one hyperactive, knuckleheaded Ninja is Naruto," Kakashi finished.
...My Line...
Naruto could be seen grinning before he all of a sudden sneezed.
"They when you sneeze it means that someone is talking about you somewhere," Inari stated as right behind them the two thugs were tied up and duck tapped.
"You don't believe that, do you?" the blonde asked. "Hey, by the way. Sorry about yesterday."
"Huh?"
Naruto gave him a wink and a grin.
"Calling you a coward is pretty mean, I guess," he stated. "Any way, it's not true, you know." the Uzumaki then placed a hand on top of Inari's head. "Because you were really brave." The younger boy started to make crying noises at that. "Huh?"
The 12-year-old Genin looked at him confused as the kid started to cry.
"Darn it," he growled as he whipped his eyes. "I...I promised myself that I would cry anymore!" Inari sobbed. "Your make fun of me again and call me a baby, but I can't stop."
"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked as he looked away. "Your happy. What's wrong with that?" He then turned back with a grin. "When you're happy it's okay to cry. Really it is."
"Naruto…"
The blonde cackled a bit before he turned around.
"Alright, I can leave you in charge of things here, right?"
"Yeah."
"Good," Naruto said. "Then I'm going over to the bridge." The Genin took off running. "It's tough being a Hero, ya know."
"Ya know!"
...My Line...
"*Laugh* Haku," Zabuza said as the boy stood up while Rin jumped over to rejoin her team. "If we keep going like this, we'll be the victims instead of them. Get on with it."
"Right," Haku agreed.
Haku's Chakra started to surround him.
"What's this?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm sorry it's came to this," Haku told him.
"The air it's so cold," Sasuke mumbled to himself.
Haku placed his hands in a hand sign.
"Secret Jutsu..." Haku spoke as Sasuke looked around himself as panel after panel appeared. "Crystal Ice Mirrors!"
...My Line...
Raika let out a gasp as ice like mirrors formed started to form around Sasuke.
"Uchiha!" the Miran shouted as she ran forward to only be trapped in the mirrors as well. 'Shit.'
...My Line...
"What is that?" Kakashi asked. "How does it work?"
...My Line...
The two Genin both gasp as they watched Haku stepped through one of the panels before replicas appeared in the others.
"Mirrors, but how?" Sasuke asked.
The greenette stood at the ready as she looked around while she stood back-to-back with Sasuke.
...My Line...
Outside of the mirrors Kakashi ran forward to help them, but Zabuza got in the way.
"If you enter this fight..." Zabuza started. "You fight me." Kakashi glared at him. "Your boy and girl has no chance against that Jutsu. Their finished."
...My Line...
Back in the mirror Raika was starting feel a bit useless as she tried to find a way out of the trouble that they were in.
"Now we'll begin," Haku told them as he held up a senbone. "And I'll show you what speed really means."
Sasuke groaned as he was cut by the senbone that Haku throw at the two. However, from Raika was knocking away the senbone that were aimed at her away using her tantō.
...My Line...
Kakashi could only looked on with worry as his two students were peppered with Senbone.
"Raika, Sasuke," the Hatake mumbled in worried.
...My Line...
Sasuke cried out as Raika kept knocking away the Senbone before a Senbone sent the kunai that the Uchiha was holding flying.
...My Line...
"Sasuke, Raika!" Sakura shouted just as Sasuke's Kunai landed in front of her.
The pinkette could only watched as the greenette tried to protect both herself and Sasuke with her blade.
...My Line...
Zabuza smirked at Kakashi through his bandages around his mouth.
"Just try to help them and I'll kill the other two in a heartbeat," Zabuza stated making Kakashi to growl.
...My Line...
"I'm sorry," Sakura apologized to Tazuna. "But, I can't stay with you. Forgive me?"
"I understand," Tazuna answered. "Go now."
Sakura picked up the kunai that has landed in front of her and started to run towards the mirrors.
...My Line...
"Sakura?" Kakashi asked in shock as he looked back at her.
...My Line...
'Sasuke, Raika,' Sakura thought. "Take this!" Both Sasuke and Raika looked out of the corner of their eyes to see Sakura in the air having thrown the kunai to them, but Haku quickly caught it surprising all three. "He caught it."
...My Line...
Sasuke ended up falling to the ground while Raika kneeled on one knee panting as her body had a good number of senbone sticking out.
"Uchiha?" the green hair Genin asked quietly.
"I'm fine," the Uchiha groaned.
The two of them looked up at just as a shuriken hit Haku in the face leaving a stretch on the white mask and knocking him out of the mirror.
...My Line...
"Huh?" Sakura asked as there was an explosion of some kind. "Who is it?"
...My Line...
'What a fool,' Sasuke thought as smoked appeared.
'Such a showoff,' Raika thought with a growl as the smoke started to clear.
"Number On Hyperactive, Knucklehead Ninja," Haku said as he stood up.
"Naruto Uzumaki is here," Naruto said once the smoked cleared, "Yeah! Ya know!"
...My Line...
Suiren Uzumaki: To the review left by danj09290 about my questions from the Author Note: I hadn't been thinking of right away, but somewhere in the near future like either during the Sasuke retrieval mission where Raika will almost die at the hands of Kimimaro or just before Naruto returns from the training trip with Jiraiya and Yamato, who would go with them, to continue training the blonde in the Wood Style. I just haven't figured out when Tobi aka Obito Uchiha should come to terms with the fact that he is falling in love all over again.
That is actually not a bad idea. I can't believe that I didn't think of that at all. I feel like an idiot and to keep Naruto using the Kyuubi Chakra the same only he doesn't truly use it expect to reopen his chakra pathways after Neji gets some hits in.
And as for the Fan girl/boy thing, I was thinking that Obito could have without meaning, too, had saved said person, who then swore to follow him, even if was only to themselves...that and they found Tobi's personality amusing while also respecting wanting to keep some secrets.
