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 Rin Uzumaki (Namikaze). 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!

20: The Weapons Known as Shinobi!
...My Line...
This time it was Tobirama, who picked up the remote, once everyone was sitting once again before he looked around at them all.
"Everyone ready?" he asked.
"Yes!" they all answered him.
With a nod of his own head, the Nidaime hit play on the remote before putting it down and sitting back to watch.
...My Line...
Inari was shown running through town with a determine look on his face.
"The twins and the others are all fighting risking their lives while the rest of us do nothing," the young boy stated. "We've got to fight, too."
...My Line...
"Good," Obito nodded his head. "The twins really got through to him."
His teammates were in agreement while the two former Hokages had to get explanations about Inari and how the two Siblings managed to get through to him.
...My Line...
Episode 20: The Weapons Known as Shinobi!
"Uncle Giiche!" Inari yelled as he pointed on the door of a house. "Uncle Giiche! Hurry! Come to the bridge with me! We don't have to hide any longer! If we all fight together then we can finally take Gato down! I know we can!"
The boy went to reach for the door handle only for it to lock.
"No, Inari," a male voice said on the other side of the door. "I've given up fighting. Fighting is for Heroes...like your Father. See what good it did him. Isn't one died Hero enough? What will fighting get us? More fell Heroes? More regrets? No, Inari, my heart is already full of enough regrets to last a life time."
"Well, I don't want to live a life for regrets either," Inari stated. "And that's why we've got to fight!"
"Live your life so that you'll have nothing to regret," Kaiza told him.
"I know that you care about everyone in the village and so do I," Inari went on. "You, Mother, Grandfather, and everyone. That's why we have to fight! All my life, I've been a coward. But, I know that hiding and crying won't make them go away."
He closed his eyes before turning around and taking off.
...My Line...
"That's deep for a little kid," Jiraiya said. 'I can use that in a new novel using Ookami and Tobi though with different names, of course.'
"Your right about that," Tsunade nodded her head.
...My Line...
Inside the house, an older male could be seen with his back to the door as he listened to Inari.
"Hurry! Come to the bridge!"
"Our little Inari has become a man," a woman stated. "And you dear? Are you sure you want to send him off all on his own?"
...My Line...
"Wise little old lady," Obito said while blinking in surprise.
His two teammates cackled and giggled at that though they did agree with him.
...My Line...
The sound of pounding could be heard.
"Is anyone there!" Inari yelled. "Hello! Come to the bridge with me and fight!" The young boy panted before he turned from the last house looking upset. "What do I do now? Not even one of them will open their door and listen."
He then looked down as he thought of Naruto.
"Because you really are brave."
'Well, then if no one else will help,' Inari thought before he took off back to his house.
...My Line...
There were narrowed eyes at this as they all thought the same thing about those people being cowards to let a little kid go off and get himself killed.
...My Line...
"Poor Zabuza," Kakashi stated. "See where your ambitions got you? You were always pushing things to far." He gave a glare. "It was the failed Mizukage assignation and your admit at a Coup D'etat. You were forced to flee with the few followers that you had. Your countries Tracker Ninjas hot on your heels. You became a rouge ninja whose name was quickly known even in Konohagakure. Now, your crazy enough to want to go back and try it again, but for that you need money and to get it you stooped so low as to be the hire thug of a swine like Gato. Alright, Zabuza, enough talk. Time to finish it. But, it won't be with Sharingan. Imitations of some other Ninja's tricks. No, it's time I introduce you to my own...JUTSU!" He ran through hand signs quickly before he cupped his hand with Chakra forming around his feet before it started to move to his hand. "Lighting Blade!"
'The Chakra is so strong it's visible!' Zabuza thought as a chirping like sound filled the air from the Chakra in the silver hair Jonin's hand. 'He holds it in his hand.'
"I won't let you kill Tazuna," the Hatake growled. "He's a brave man with a noble dream. The bridge that he is building is the hope of this land and all it's people. Your like a disease. By attacking one you effect all and you don't care. That is not the way of the Shinobi."
"Your right, I don't care!" Zabuza yelled. "These useless little people and their patty little dreams. Why should they matter to me? I have a dream of my own."
"But, to have a dream you have to have a future," the Konoha Ninja stated. "You don't. Your future is all used up, Zabuza."
...My Line...
"Go, Kakashi!" Rin cheered.
Her teammate blushed under his mask while Obito snorted as he no longer felt the need to jump down his male's teammate's throat about Rin. The Uchiha pre-teen can now say that he was falling for his Sensei only Daughter, who won't be born for at least 3 more years, but he was willing to wait till then and till she was at least 13 before asking the older Namikaze and his Wife if he could court her.
...My Line...
"Go on," Haku said as Naruto took a step back once again. "Finish it. Kill me. Why do you hesitate? I thought that you want to be a mighty warrior."
"That's not what it's about," Naruto yelled at him. "Do you really believe that that's all there is to it; fighting and killing till there's one man standing! There's a lot more to being a shinobi then that and there are other ways to showing your strength then beating some one in battle."
"I had a feeling all along," Haku told him. "From the first moment in the woods. We are a lot alike." Naruto looked at him confused. "I'm sure you know what I mean. I'm only sorry that it must be you hand that is tainted with my unworthy blood."
"You sure about this?" Naruto asked him. "And your positive that it's the only way?"
"Yes," Haku answered him.
"The weird thing is if we've meet in other time and place I think that maybe we could have been friends," Naruto stated before he pulled out a kunai.
'Yes, that's right. Hold fast to your dreams.'
"This is for Sasuke because he also had a dream!"
'Thank you, Naruto,' Haku thought as the blonde charged at him while he closed his eyes. 'Strike true.'
...My Line...
Kushina started to bit her thumb nail at the scene not at all liking the fact that her only Son had to dirty his hands with blood.
...My Line...
"At least," Tazuna sighed as he looked around. "I think that this blasted fog is lifting."
"Look," Sakura pointed out to him. "It's like their standing still. Like their squaring off."
"I can't see a thing."
"One of them is moving!" the Haruno gasped in shock.
A shadow of a figure moved quickly towards the other one.
...My Line...
'Be careful Kakashi,' Rin thought as she clips her hands close to her chest.
The two male pre-teens narrowed their eyes as they watched.
...My Line...
Haku's eyes snapped open with a gasp as Naruto still charged only for his strike to be stopped at the last minute.
"Huh?"
"Sorry, Naruto, but there's been a change in plan," the older boy told him as he looked off to the side with a glare before going through hand signs with one hand. "I'm not ready to die quiet yet."
To the blondes surprise, Haku vanished quickly.
...My Line...
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Where did he go?"
The three pre-teens were all surprised when Haku disappeared.
...My Line...
Kakashi rushed towards Zabuza with his jutsu at the ready.
'Is this really the end?' the Rogue Mist Ninja thought.
The Hatake let out a yell as he goes to pierce Zabuza with his technique before blood flew through the air.
...My Line...
"Did he get him?"
"We're about to see Obito."
...My Line...
Sakura let out a cry of shock as she covered her head when an aftershock happened.
"What the devil!?"
The pinkette looked up before letting out a gasp of shock.
...My Line...
No one said or did anything as they were wondering what took the girl by surprise.
...My Line...
Kakashi stared wide eyed in shock as his hand pierced the chest of Haku while the Hounds that he summoned disappeared. The teen coughed up blood as he goes to grip the Hatake 's wrist in a tight grip.
"Za-bu-za."
"My future is all used up, huh?" Zabuza asked with a laugh. "Wrong again, Kakashi."
...My Line...
There gasps at the scene that they were seeing though the Senju Brothers looked upset at what was being shown.
...My Line...
"Don't be ridicules," Tsunami told her Son. "Your not going to the bridge all by yourself."
"I have to go by myself because none of the others will go with me," Inari informed her as he put on his shoes. "I have no choice."
"You shouldn't go at all," she stated as he finished and then stood up with crossbow in hand. "Stop this! Your just a child. What can you do?"
"I right," he agreed. "I am just a kid, but a kid, who knows how to stand and fight. I'm my Father's kid."
This made her gasp as she pictured her husband in place of her son.
"Kaiza," she breathed as he opened the door. "No! Inari! Wait!"
Inari let out a gasp at the sight waiting outside.
...My Line...
They all narrowed their eyes as they all had an idea of what was outside of Tazuna's family home.
...My Line...
"Huh?" Naruto asked as he looked around in shock. "What? Where'd he go? Huh? Hey. Huh? The fogs lifting." He then looked over to see images of three people. "Wait is that him?" The blonde then ran over to them to only come to a stop when he saw when he noticed his Sensei with his hand in Haku's chest. "What? I don't get it. What's the heck is going on here?"
...My Line...
"Poor Naruto," Hashirama sighed. "Though, I can understand cause I would be confused, too, if that happened to me."
Tobirama had to bite his own tongue to keep from making a sarcastic retort while Hiruzen just sighed as even he had to keep from making a comment, too.
...My Line...
"Isn't that the young man in the mask?" Tazuna asked in surprise.
...My Line...
"No, it's a human looking monkey," Obito's word was dripping in sarcasm. "Of course, it's the guy in the mask!"
That snorts of laughter from everyone while the Sandaime pouted at the monkey part.
...My Line...
"The boy threw himself in front of my attack," Kakashi growled. "He saved your worthless life at the cost of his own."
"Well, done Haku," Zabuza stated making the Hatake to let out a gasp as he looked at the man, who moves to attack.
"KAKASHI-SENSEI!" Sakura yelled. "WATCH OUT!"
'He'll hack through the boy to take me down?' the silver hair adult thought in shock.
"I knew I found a treasure when I found you, boy," Zabuza stated. "You've not only gave me, my life, but Kakashi's as well."
The Momochi goes charging at the Hatake and the boy to hack them.
...My Line...
There were dropped jaws and many tried to speak only to stumble over their words.
...My Line...
"My time here is done Haku," Zabuza stated as they looked over Kirigakure no Sato. "To night I cast aside the Land of Water. One day, I will return to seize this land and hold it in my hands. Many things must be done before that day comes and you will help me do them. But, I warn you...friendship, comfort, and encouragement...I do not need these things nor should you expect them from me."
"I understand," Haku said as he looked at him with a smile. "I am yours, Zabuza. I am only an instrument of your will. Think of me as a weapon to be kept at your side and use as you see fit."
"Well, said child," the Momochi told him.
...My Line...
There were multiple twitching eyebrows at that along with growls at the complete lack of human thought from the boy.
...My Line...
However, the Konoha ninja to jump into the air with the teen's body in his arms.
"Not bad for having a corpse in your arms."
"You'll pay for that!" Naruto yelled.
"No!" the silver hair adult called out. "Stay out of this Naruto." Kakashi put Haku's body down and looked at him for a bit before reaching out and closing his eyes. "This is my battle. Zabuza's mine."
"Naruto?" Sakura asked in confusion before she started to wave. "Over here! Naruto!"
'Sakura,' the blond thought sadly.
"So you, Sasuke, and Rin are alright!" the pinkette called out.
"Hmm..."
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked looking confused as he looked away from her. Where is Sasuke and Rin anyways?"
The Hatake looked at them before looking away not at all happy about how this team is ending up just like his old one.
"Huh?"
"No," the Haruno said softly
'Sakura," Kakashi thought sadly.
"Kakashi!" Zabuza yelled as he ran at him. "I'll stay focus if I were you!"
The Hatake placed his hands on the ground and kicked the Momochi in the jaw.
...My Line...
"YES!" Obito and Rin yelled at what their teammate did.
This made the silver hair Jonin to blush.
...My Line...
"Let me take you to them, Sakura?" Tazuna asked as he looked at her. "As long as we stay together, you won't be disobeying your Sensei's orders."
"Thank you," she breathed as she took his head.
The two of them ran past Naruto, who couldn't even look at his crush.
"Sasuke."
...My Line...
There were tears in the females' eyes while the males all wore sober expressions though Tobirama didn't like that his Grandson was getting close to an Uchiha and started to see him as a friend.
...My Line...
Rin was so caught up in removing the senbones from Sasuke that she didn't hear Sakura and Tazuna showed up. It wasn't until Sakura touch Sasuke's cheek did she notice what was going on around her.
"He's bodies cold," Sakura stated the obvious. "This isn't just one of his Genjutsu tricks is it, Rin?"
"No Sakura it's not," the red hair Uzumaki answered with a monotone as she continued to remove the senbone. "It's a death like state."
"Go on," Tazuna told Sakura. "You don't need to be brave or anything on my account. Go ahead and let your feelings out Sakura. It's alright."
"We were the best," Sakura started to say as she stroke Sasuke's cheek. "Aced ever test at the academy. The perfect students." Rin looked at Sakura having thought that the pink haired girl would talk about herself and not about the both of them. "Did you know there are more then 100 principle of Shinobi Conduct? Rin and I memorized ever single one. I don't know about Rin, but I use to love it when they tested us on them. It gave me a chance to show how smart I was. I remember so clearly this one exam They asked us to explain the 25th principle. We got it right of course." Sakura's shoulders started to shake as tears fall. "A Shinobi...never shows his feelings...no matter what the circumstances is...feelings are a weakness that only cloud his judgment...and weaken his since of duty." Sakura finally started to cry as she throw herself onto is chest. "Sasuke."
'To put such an unbearable burden on a young girl' s shoulders,' Tazuna thought. ' I f that's the Shinobi way? You can have it.'
All the redhead did was growl softly under her breath as she had to stop removing senbones or risk Sasuke really dying when Sakura got in her way. However, not to far away Naruto scowled as he listened to Sakura's cries while fighting back his own tears.
...My Line...
"So, he just in a death like state, huh?" Fugaku asked softly.
"Yes," Tsunade answered with a nod. "Ookami does seem to have good knowledge on the human body and other medical facts."
The silver hair Senju was pleased though he was wondering just how much knowledge she has.
...My Line...
The two Jonin level shinobis continue to clash before parting with two kunais sticking out of Zabuza's arm.
'Why?' the Rogue Mist Shinobi thought. 'Why can't I keep up with him?' Zabuza charged at him intent on killing the Hatake only to back handing him in the face and then doing a spinning back hand again that sent the other Jonin skidding away. "I'll split you in half!"
He tried once more to cut the silver Jonin in half only for him to dodge and then appear behind Zabuza in a yellow flash with his hand on his neck.
"Look at you," the 26-year-old stated. "Your falling apart. I knew that you didn't have what it takes for the long haul."
"What did you say?" the Momochi asked.
"You have no idea what real strength is," Kakashi stated.
...My Line...
This made everyone smirk while cackled.
...My Line...
"Well, well," someone said. "This is how it turns out, huh?"
...My Line...
"That must be Gato," Tobirama said as he narrowed his eyes.
"I think your right, Father," Minato agreed with him. "But, why is he there?"
"Good question," his Father said thought he felt pride at being called Father.
...My Line...
The Hatake spun a pair of kunais on his fingers before gripping them tightly.
"Game over," the silver hair Jonin growled. "You lose." Zabuza moved to try and hit Kakashi by swinging his sword arm at him, but the 26-year-old managed to stab the two kunais into his arm just as the arm hit the Konoha Ninja. This sent flying before he turned mid air and landed on his feet while the blade landed away from them. "Now both of your arms are useless. What now? You can't even make hand signs."
The Momochi let out a growl at that before the sound of foot steps caught their attention.
"Did quiet the job on ya, didn't he, Zabuza?" a male voice asked. "You look like yesterday's sashimi." Zabuza looked out of the corner of his eyes. "I must say that I'm really...disappointed."
A short man stood at the end of the bridge in front of a group of men that were armed to the teeth.
...My Line...
The screen went blank at that making the pre-teens to groan as they were getting into it.
"Okay, we can watch three more episodes and then it's dinner time," Kushina informed them. "So, anyone that has to use the bathroom do so now."
There were mumbles of agreement before those, who had to go, got up and headed for the bathroom while those, who watched something to drink, got up and went to get them. Tobirama and Minato in the mean time were talking and getting to know each other more this made Tsunade, Sarutobi, and Hashirama to smile softly seeing the first two remember how happy the silver hair Hokage had been at the news of him being a Father.
