"The fight has finished?" Gato said as he looked at beaten Zabuza and sneered and continued "you couldn't even do the job I gave you."
"Why are you here with all these people?" Zabuza asks Gato with a serious face.
"Why? Of course to finish the job you couldn't do. I can also take your head while at it." Gato replied smugly.
Suddenly all the Ninjas in the place look at Gato as if they are looking at a retard. Kurenai Sigh and thought 'how did this moron even survive until now?'
'Did he lose some screws on his way here' Ino Thought?
'Naruto-kun is safe, Naruto-Kunai is safe. Oh my god, did I hug Naruto-kun? What will I do? Will he be angry because of this?' As for Hinata, she doesn't care about the moron at the front.
'Lord Zabuza is injured because of me. I couldn't become a good weapon for him.' Haku thought as he looked at the sky.
Naruto almost bursts into laughter when he feels Everyone's emotions.
Haku uses all his power and stands up from the ground. He dragged his injured body and stood in front of Zabuza and said "Lord let me be your weapon for one more time. I will finish this man fast."
Zabuza looked at Haku and his injured body and said angrily "you are the injured. You are not used to being the way you are now."
He walked ahead and said, "heal me after I finish them."
Naruto shook his head and thought 'this world is full of Tsundere.'
Zabuza took out a Kunai and said "it seems we don't need to fight anymore. Our employers decided to terminate the mission."
"Even if he didn't, if you continued, next time I would have taken your head," Naruto said ruthlessly without giving Zabuza any face.
Zabuza didn't get angry. He sneered and ran towards Gato and his man.
Gato looked at Zabuza and said "everyone attack. whoever brings me his head, will be paid 10 times the money."
All the thugs behind him cheer loudly and run towards Gato to kill him.
Zabuza didn't even bat an eye and kill them like he is killing bugs. How can this Normal human and few low-class Ninja compare to Zabuza?
Hinata and Ino didn't avoid the scene this time. Their resolve is stronger than ever before. And they will do their best to become stronger and protect their loved ones with their own hand.
Kurenai also noticed their sudden change in personality. She sighs in relief in her heart. She was worried that they wouldn't be able to handle the pressure of Ninjas.
Suddenly they saw more people coming from behind the Gato's gang. At first, they thought they were Gato's men too. But when they notice those farming tools as a weapon they understand that they are the villagers.
Naruto has a small smile on the corner of his mouth as he looks at them coming.
"Brother, revenge for our hero"
"Kill Gato"
"Fight with everything you have got."
"We will not live like cowards anymore."
"Fight"
"Fight"
Zabuza stopped when he saw those villagers coming. He doesn't want to waste his energy killing these bugs. He doesn't care if those villagers will die in the fight or not.
But Naruto can't let that happen now, can he? The six clones of his transform into civilians kill all the powerful ones in the group. He left the weak ones to the villagers.
"Old man, Tazuna, we will help you in the fight."
Someone called the old man's name from the fight.
Tazuna looks at the villagers fighting with all their might with Gato and his gang and feels his eyes moistened.
Gato starts to panic when he notices all of his men are almost dead. He shouted at the villagers "how dare you to kill my man?"
Some of the villagers shiver when they hear him. Some stop fighting. But a few seconds later they calm down and look at Gato with more anger.
"Stop, I will pay you money"
"Keep your money to yourself"
"Don't you want a better life for your child? I can give them a better future."
"We will take care of our family with our own hard-earned money."
"Stop, don't come near me."
"Stop, stop, stop"
Gato underestimated an angry crowd. Everyone moves closer and beats him to his death and takes out all of their anger, frustration and suffering until now on him.
Zabuza has already escaped with Haku during the fight. Of course, Naruto knew. He just let him be. He already achieved his goal. And also get a trophy for him as he looks at the executioner blade in his hand.
….
"Thank you Mr Ninja for helping us and protecting Old Man Tazuna." Everyone said and bowed toward Kurenai and the other three.
Kurenai waved her hand and said, "it's okay, this was our job anyway."
After that, they went to Tazuna's house and saw the two dead bodies on the floor. "Tsunami, Inari" Tazuna shouted as he went inside the house in a hurried step.
"They are fine," Naruto said as his clone took out the two bodies and cleaned the house. Kurenai understands what happened here.
Kurenai looked at Naruto and said, "can you come with me for a sec?" She turned and left without even waiting for his answer.
Naruto looked at Hinata and Ino and said "you guys go, get fresh and take a rest. I will be back soon."
Hinata and Ino nodded. They are exhausted, not physically but mentally.
…
"Sensei."
"Tell me the truth," Kurenai asks Naruto seriously.
Naruto nodded and told her about his plan. He wanted to use Zabuza to sharpen Hinata and Ino. One lacks courage and another one is too soft-hearted for a Ninja.
So he acted the whole time and things happened like that.
After hearing everything Kurenai looked at Naruto and sighed.
She looked at him complicatedly. It is supposed to be her job to make her students better. Naruto understood her feelings so he added "sorry sensei, only I could be the bait. They have known me for more time than you."
Kurenai Sigh and nodded her head and said "but next time if you pull the same stunt please inform me first."
Naruto smiled cheekily and nodded his head. Kurenai only Sighed and shook her head..
….
A few days have passed since the death of Gato. And the bridge is also finally complete with all the villagers' help.
Hinata and Ino start training diligently from the next day. They never skip any training now. Kurenai also started training them with everything she got.
Naruto becomes the free spirit of the town. He would go to every place and talk with everyone. He almost became part of the town.
Inari also would go where he goes. He also made a few friends of his age.
The village also started to recover slowly from all the previous damage. An unknown merchant has come to the village and taken over all of Gato's business there.
But this merchant isn't as bad as Gato. He opened many new routes of business with the villagers. Seeing the new opportunity to earn money, everyone becomes happy.
Tsunami also finally gets to see Naruto's pervertedness. She only laughs at his act as it seems cute to her. Unlike young girls, she is old enough to not get shy.
She has also improved a lot in her cooking. After getting free from all the tension she can now learn without any other thoughts.
The day has finally come. The bridge is already completed. They can leave now.
Kurenai stands with her three students and faces a crowd of villagers. Everyone is here to say goodbye to them.
Naruto has a group of fans here. Most of them are young girls and kids in the village.
"Big Brother Naruto, come visit us again," Inari said.
"Yes, big brother, we will miss you."
"Hey kid, we will catch a lot of fish next time for you to cook for us."
"Don't tell me you just miss his food?"
"Aren't you?"
"Hahaha"
Kurenai, Hinata and Ino, Smile when they see the lively atmosphere. It's completely different from the time they come.
Naruto looked at all the Gluttony and said "Take care everyone. I will try to come and visit you again."
"yeah!" All the kids jump in happiness.
After that Kurenai and everyone said goodbye to them and left the place.
"I will miss him." Tsunami said as she looked at Naruto's shadow. She remembers all of his flirting with her. She sometimes even forgets that he is a kid.
Inari smiled and said, "big brother will surely come to visit us again."
"Hey old man Tazuna, what should we call this bridge?"
"Let's call it the bridge of Dawn, Naruto bridge"
Everyone agreed. This bridge really gives them new opportunities and brings many new possibilities for their future. And the person behind this success is Naruto.
"Hahaha, that kid will jump like a monkey if he knows that we give the bridge his name."
"You are right."
"I want to see Big Brother's monkey dance."
