Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Naruto spun the bone swords around and deflected the multiple senbon thrown at him by the Hunter Ninja. Using his blades to deflect his fast attacks and prevent the needles from hitting him. The two swords he had pulled out prevented any object from touching his body.
The Ninja disappeared into the Ice Mirrors and reappeared elsewhere in another throwing dozens of Senbon at him. Naruto spun and deflected them with his swords as he evaded the attacks.
One narrowly came close to hitting his eye but it was blocked by him bringing his right sword up to deflect it.
He then brought the two blades together and combined both of them at the hilt, turning them into a five foot long double bladed sword. Twirling it overhead he got ready to fight again and evaded the attacks.
"You are skilled, there is little doubt to that. But I can detect flaws in your fighting style." The Ninja said to him from a mirror. "But how long can you continue dodging? It won't be long until you tire out and find my needles embedded in your throat."
"Heh, don't worry about me, I got plenty of Stamina." Naruto replied with a smirk. "You should be more concerned with yourself instead. Here's something I've been wanting to try…" He said and suddenly several small bones sprouted out of his left and right arm. "Dance of Spikes!" He shouted and doing the new move he created spun and fired them into the Ice Mirrors. They landed into the mirrors embedding themselves and leaving noticeable cracks as well in them.
"Impressive, but not enough." The Ninja said and the cracks where restored by his own Kekkai Genkai.
Sasuke looking on was in disbelief. How, how could Naruto of all people have a bloodline? It didn't make any sense, how was it that he had had a bloodline? All this time Naruto had a Kekkai Genkai of his very own that no one even knew about it. Naruto he had seen was nothing but a fool who was lucky to graduate, yet here and now he was showing a Bloodline as well as skill and abilities he had never seen before. And the bloodline was unlike anything Sasuke had ever seen or heard as he was using his own bones and body as a weapon to fight with. It was nothing like The Hyuga, The Aburame, The Nara, or even The Uchiha clans' bloodline.
He watched as Naruto deflected an attack with his swords. A bitter feeling starting to grow within him over the fact that a boy who had graduated last had a Hidden Bloodline and that he still was yet to harness his own Kekkai Genkai while Naruto seemed to show skill with his holding his own against an opponent who Sasuke hadn't even managed to land a blow onto.
Naruto leapt high avoiding a pair of needles thrown at him and bringing his swords up threw them into the Ice mirror leaving a crack in it. Focusing his chakra he reached towards his knee and like Kimimaro did before pulled out a large heavy three foot long bone which took the shape of a Kanabo. Letting out a battle cry he charged the mirror and swung the heavy club into the mirror.
CRACK!
Large cracks appeared in the mirror from the brute force of the attack. Although his face was hidden, Naruto could tell the Hunter Nin was surprised at what he had just done as he did not expect him to damage his mirror.
He swung the Kanabo again and this time shattered the Mirror into four pieces of Ice breaking it.
"Get out of here Sasuke." Naruto said to him surprising Sasuke. "Go find the others. I'll take care of this."
"What?" Sasuke said.
"You heard me, find the others and help them out." Naruto responded as he had created an opening for him to escape. "I'll deal with this guy. Now go will you?"
Sasuke glared at him. "He thinks I can't handle this? That I'm a weakling?"
"C'mon, go before it re-" Naruto started to say but the ice mirror he had broken was rebuilt and reformed and was solid as ever. "Damn it!" He shouted and turned and saw the Hunter Nin.
"Perhaps I underestimated you, I shall not make that mistake again…" The Ninja said and disappeared into another mirror and reappeared, going and throwing Senbon twice as fast as he had previously done at them, this time looking like little more than a blur appearing in multiple mirrors at once.
Naruto cursed under his breath as he avoided the now faster than before senbon and pulled out two swords again from his arms. The Ninja was going faster than he had been before making him that much more dangerous.
"I will defeat this foe," Sasuke said suddenly and stood in front of him. "I will prove that I am the stronger, that I'm a true prodigy."
"Well thanks to your damn pride." Naruto dryly said to him from behind. "I gotta spend my energy and chakra making sure nothing happens to you while I'm fighting this guy."
"You may have a bloodline no one knew about but I'll be the one who finishes this fight." Sasuke said not looking at him. He then rushed forward and did several hand symbols. "Multi Fireball Jutsu!" He shouted and fired several fireballs that hit the mirrors but like before with his previous attempts did little damage to them.
The Hunter Nin threw dozens of Senbon at them in retaliation and Naruto felt a pair hit him in the arm. Grimacing to himself he leapt out of the way of several more thrown at him as the Hunter Nin disappeared into another mirror and threw even more at him and Sasuke. Naruto managed to deflect them with his swords but knew that if this kept up, with him having to defend himself from the attacks as well as Sasuke recklessly endangering himself he'd be in trouble.
Elsewhere, Kakashi ducked under the beheading swing of Zabuza Momochi's Zanbato and backflipped and while in midair produced several shuriken and threw them right at Zabuza. They hit him but he then turned into a puddle of Water.
"Mizu Bushin…" Kakashi said dryly when he was impaled by behind by the real Zabuza but saw to his surprise the copy nin turn into a puddle of Water. He was then kicked in the face by the real Kakashi. "I copied that trick from you after our last battle." He said to Zabuza who glared at him.
Zabuza responded by doing hand seals. "Kirigakure No Jutsu!" He shouted and a thick mist surrounded the area and he disappeared into it. Kakashi went on guard remembering that this was how he attempted to ambush them before. He looked back at Sakura and Tazuna checking on them as he was Zabuza's target. The Demon of the Mist was determined to kill Tazuna and Kakashi was just as determined to stop him.
Zabuza emerged swinging his heavy blade and Kakashi leapt up into the air to avoid it. He then started doing hand symbols and many kunai appeared in front of him and flew right at Zabuza who swung his blade at them to deflect them.
To everyone except Kakashi's surprise the Kunai exploded on contact creating a small explosion injuring and knocking back Zabuza who did not expect that. The Leaf Jonin landed on the bridge.
"These are different from regular Kunai. Black Powder similar to that used in Explosive tags is put in them by drilling a small hole and pouring it into the Kunai. Then when I launched them at you I secretly used a small spark to set the powder off inside them by the time they reached you they where ready to go off and explode. A new weapon The Leaf has been working on."
Zabuza glared at him fury in his eyes and snarled as he pulled himself forward. He slammed his weapon down onto the bridge and began doing hand symbols of his own. "Water Bullet Jutsu!" He shouted and fired multiple small bullets of water at Kakashi who leapt out of the way and they hit the side of the bridge and caused small damage to it. Zabuza than began doing more hand symbols. "Die! Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" He shouted and fired the Jutsu he used against Kimimaro at him. Kakashi leapt out of the way in the nick of time and it slammed into the side of the bridge destroying a small part of the side due to the velocity and impact.
"Ah! Kakashi be careful! If the bridge is destroyed than all our efforts will be in vain!" Tazuna shouted as he couldn't stand the thought of it being destroyed.
Kakashi nodded at him understanding. Zabuza swung at him and Kakashi avoided the swing and decked him across the face. Zabuza recovered and snapped his head forward and head butted him. That stunned Kakashi rearing him backwards and Zabuza went to run him through. At the last second Kakashi leapt up doing the splits in midair and and landed on Zabuza's blade with precise dexterity and balance using chakra to stay on, staying on the flat side of the weapon to avoid being cut. He then kicked him in the head and leapt off.
"Damn you!" Zabuza shouted murder in his eyes and backed into the Mist again.
Kakashi went on guard knowing he was in there plotting something.
Elsewhere…
The Sound Kunoichi Tayuya was confused as to what was going on. She had followed her companion's tracks from Konoha wondering where the hell he had gone off to and now found herself in the middle of what looked like an all out war going on between the idiots of this place in her eyes.
Leaping on top of a roof she scanned the area as fighting broke out between the people of the village. Looking around the chaotic scene just wondering what the hell was going on.
"Of all the places that idiot could go, he went here?" She muttered as she looked around the horizon.
"Kill these maggots for Gato-sama!" One of the thugs shouted and she recognized that name. That was the name of the guy who tried to rip off her Master with a false deal when he was in fact stealing from The Sound Village over a year ago. Needless to say, The Snake did not approve of being double crossed and the businessman had narrowly escaped with his life and was lucky the Sannin had more important matters to attend to than dealing with a low life piece of shit in her eyes.
She watched as the groups continued fighting one another and the red head knew something was up. He was here she knew that but what was he doing here in all places? And how come his earlier tracks lead to Konoha, The Hidden Leaf Village? Frowning Tayuya looked around and leapt down walking nonchalantly through the chaotic scene paying no attention at all the fighting going or that the fact that the villagers of the town where starting to overpower the brigands and drive them out.
She sensed his presence nearby and she followed it feeling faintly his chakra. Her eyes then widened when she came upon the sight.
Dozens of bodies where sprawled on the ground. Dead and lifeless they was at least fifty of them she guesses. They all seemed to be like those guys back in the village too as she saw the dead men.
"Arghhh…" A voice said and she lifted her head up and saw not far away a bone get his throat slit by a bone like sword. He was held up by one arm and after being killed was dropped to the ground. She saw the man's killer who retracted sword back into his forearm.
"Holy…" Was all she could say and the figure lifted his head and saw her standing stunned at what she just witnessed. A scowl formed on his face seeing her.
"What are you doing here?" Kimimaro asked angrily upon seeing her there.
"The hell? What are you doing here?" She snapped back getting some of her posture and composure back. "You've been disappearing for day's at a time and here you are in the armpit of the world killing some scumbags? You couldn't find some-"
"Quiet!" He said to her catching her off guard. "What I do with my business is none of your concern. Go now…"
"I make it my business if it could end in my death you retard!" She shouted at him. "Here you are in the middle of nowhere and you look even worse than usual. If you died out here he's going to be pissed off and will kill me as well for not looking after your worthless ass! Why the hell are you here anyway?"
"It's none of your concern." He said coldly and wiped some blood, that of an enemy off his face. "I wouldn't have come here to this place if I had had the choice."
Tayuya looked a bit confused upon hearing that. "Had the choice? What you got a lady friend here or something?" She asked with a smug grin and he glared at her. "Let's get out of this damn place." She said and turned to leave.
Kimimaro passed her much to her surprise and saw him heading towards the village. "Go back to Otogakure," He ordered her. "If he perceives me to be useless than I shall show him that I cannot be discarded." He said and then coughed. "Go now…" He then left the place heading towards the village.
Tayuya watched him go, even with one foot starting to go in the grave the teen was still pushing himself.
"That dumbass, better go see what the hell he's babbling about." She said and made her way as well.
Meanwhile…
Naruto and Haku where still engaged in battle with the Masked Nin who hurled dozens of Senbon at them and the two boys narrowly deflected and dodged the attacks.
"I do not need your help to win this battle Naruto!" Sasuke said to him and threw several Kunai which did little damage to a mirror.
"Keep telling yourself that…" Naruto muttered in response and deflected the Senbon. He then did hand symbols "Kage Bushin!" He shouted and created ten clones. As one they each pulled out an explosive tag and lighting them attached a kunai into it and threw the ten tags at the mirrors. "Brace yourself!" Naruto shouted ready for the explosion. The Hunter Nin teleported to the top Mirror covering the dome to avoid the blast
The tags went off creating a decent sized blast that made the two lose their balance. When the smoke cleared Naruto saw to his disappointment that they hadn't done as much damage as he had hoped they would as although they where several cracks in them there was no serious damage done to them.
"Damn…and those where all the explosion tags I had." Naruto said to himself. He then deflected a senbon thrown at him by the Hunter Nin.
The Masked Ninja suddenly stopped and appeared in one mirror in front of them he began doing a series of hand symbols. "It's time I finish this
"Uh Oh…" Naruto said feeling as if something was about to happen.
"Take this! Ice Stlye: Freezing Wave!" The figure shouted and fired from the mirror a large wave of deep blue chakra at them. Naruto saw the floor turning to Ice and guessed what it would do to them.
"Crap! J-Jump!" Naruto shouted and they leapt up just in the nick of time. Naruto felt a surge go throughout his right foot as it got him barely in the leg and hissed as he felt it go numb. They landed on the ground and Naruto checked his leg and rubbed it trying to get feeling back into the body part. It was covered in a layer of thin ice and he rubbed it trying to make it go away.
"I will give you one last chance." The Hunter Nin said standing before them in a mirror. "If you leave, I will spare you and let you live. I do not like killing but you leave me no choice at this rate. Your stubbornness and your pride will be the downfall of both of you if you do not leave." He said to them.
Sasuke glared at him and did hand symbols and cast another fireball at him. Like before though, it did little damage to the mirror.
"You have made your choice then…" The Ninja said and Naruto detected sadness in the person's voice. "Then you leave me no choice." He said and began doing a long series of hand symbols. The two immediately went on guard sensing that it was going to be big whatever he was planning.
"Ice Style: Giant Freezing Wave!" The Ninja shouted and like before sent a wave at them. But this one was much larger and appeared much more powerful.
Naruto and Sasuke's eyes widened in shock at what they saw in front of them approaching them both. It was slower than the previous attack but far more dangerous.
"T-That's, That's gotta be at least a Upper B class jutsu, maybe even A Class!" Sasuke shouted rare fear and shock in his eyes as they saw it approach them and this time they couldn't jump over this one.
Naruto looked around for any chance at escape but couldn't due to the mirrors. There was no way out as they blocked all paths.
The Mirrors…
An idea then sprung into his head. If they where capable of walking on trees, then why not Ice as well?
"Sasuke run up!"
"What?" Sasuke shouted looking at him as if he'd gone mad.
"Go up the Ice! Use your chakra to stick to the Ice. Just do what you'd do with tree walking!" He shouted at him.
The two ran towards the Ice and placing chakra to their feet placed them on the ice and then started to walk up it. Naruto grinned as his idea worked and they made their way to the top out of reach of the wave as it passed underneath them. The two their feet clinging to the Ice watched as it went underneath them.
"Yes, he can't get us with it up here!" Naruto said grinning. Like they had done with Tree Walking they had managed to stick to the Ice it was more difficult due to the different surface but they had done it.
He then heard a grunting sound and looked at Sasuke who was struggling to stay on. Sasuke was having more difficulty since Naruto had had more experience doing it. Sasuke's feet suddenly gave out and he fell despite Naruto's attempt to grab him into the wave as it ended.
"Damn!" Naruto shouted and leapt down after it passed. He landed on the bridge and looked around and noticed the mirrors disappearing and The Hunter Nin appearing and looking to be exhausted as if that attack had taken everything out of him.
He looked and saw frozen in Ice Sasuke. He ran up to the frozen ninja and checked him.
"Damn it Sasuke if you die I'll kill you." He muttered and formed a bone sword. He checked back on the hunter nin and saw him not doing anything. He may not like Sasuke but he wouldn't let a person die even if he disliked him.
He stabbed the sword into the Ice trying to break through it. He pulled it out and did it again and again trying to cut through the Ice. Sasuke if he was lucky was still alive for a little while longer before the coldness numbed him and rendered him unconscious.
"There we go." Naruto said as he created a small hole and saw that he had reached Sasuke's chest, enough to get him some air. Carefully working he started to free him.
As he did it he was unaware that Sasuke's eyes had started to turn from their regular blue into a red with a tome appearing in them.
Naruto then saw to his surprise Sasuke start to form a fist and sat up and broke free of the remaining ice that covered his body. Sasuke then started to cough as fresh air entered his lungs.
Getting on all fours he continued to cough when he saw his reflection in a piece of ice That Naruto had broken off. He gasped in shock at what he saw and did not believe what he had seen.
"Yes…" He said knowing what this meant. "Yes, Yes! I've done it I've finally obtained it!" He shouted. "The Sharingan, I finally have it!" He exclaimed as he finally obtained his clan's bloodline which only activated the first time when a person was in a life or death situation.
"Now I am finally one step closer to fulfilling my goal." He said and stood up. But still suffering from the effects of the attack fell to one knee. "No I won't be stopped here." He said and forced himself back up his eyes glowing with the Sharingan. But even though he was determined to continue he was still weak after surviving it.
(I'm out of chakra. That Jutsu took everything out of me.) The Hunter Nin thought to himself. ( I can't form my Ice Mirrors after that Jutsu. The fact that Naruto managed to find a way to get out of the way surprised me. No one's ever done that before. He's really something… I can't win. No I must win, for Zabuza-sama's sake I will win!)
The Ninja gathering his last ounces of energy and chakra charged Naruto from behind. Naruto saw it and leapt out of the way. He formed a bone sword and held it out. The Ninja threw senbon at him but Naruto easily deflected it with no trouble. The Hunter threw Shuriken but Naruto deflected it again.
"It's over man," Naruto said as he wasn't even trying as he was worn out. "If we had fought one hundred times I'd admit you'd probably win a lot of those fights. But I win this time. Give it up."
Silence came from the Ninja in response. Nothing was said for several seconds until he spoke again.
"Your goal is to become Hokage is it not?" He responded surprising Naruto wondering how he knew that. "Well my goal is to serve Zabuza-sama with my life!" He shouted and charged Naruto raising a fist in one last attack.
Naruto dodged the attack and then delivered a blow to his neck with the flat side of his sword knocking him down. The ninja was on his back looking up at him and Naruto reached down and pulled the mask off.
"H-Haku?" He said looking down at the feminine boy recognizing him. "What are you doing here?"
"I am Zabuza's servant, like you and the Uchiha, I have a bloodline. I was hated and feared for it. My own father tried to kill me when he found out." He said to him surprising Naruto. "My home and my mother where destroyed at the hands of those who fear Kekkai Genkai. Our curse that separates us from normal people." He said bitterly. "We are granted abilities beyond that of normal people, but that makes us feared and hated from people. Our bloodlines make us targets of anger and mistrust from the world. I'll never forget that day as lone as I live."
Naruto hearing this remembered what had happened to his cousin. His clan was wiped out by the Mizukage due to the fear of Shikotsumyaku. Kimimaro had lead a sad and lonely life because of his bloodline as well.
"Zabuza took me in, raised me as his own, to be his weapon I'd do anything for him to repay that debt that I owe him. Even dying for him would be preferable to the life I once had. If I can be of no use to him then I deserve death."
Naruto looking at him saw Kimimaro as well. The two having been hated and feared cause of their bloodline and latching onto the first person who showed them kindness.
(And the same thing that happened to both of them probably happened to my mom's clan as well) He thought to himself.
"Kill me…" Haku said to him and closed his eyes.
Naruto looked at him and raised his blade up. Sasuke watched on wondering if he would do it.
To Haku's surprise the blow didn't come and opening his eyes saw Naruto retract the bone into his arm.
"I'm not killing you, I don't want that blood on my hands. Yeah it's most likely that now people will mistrust and hate me even more when they find out I have a bloodline. But I'd rather face their insults and jeers than hide away in the shadows from them. You who have spent your entire life looked down upon deserve better." He said showing him mercy.
"Zabuza can be stopped, we'll stop him but keep him alive and bring you back to Konoha him as well if he agrees. You have my word and my Nindo that neither of you will be harmed or persecuted. I swear it on my Nindo." He said to him in all seriousness. "Now let's go…" He said and pulled him up.
Haku looked at him not sure what to think when he sensed a flash of chakra. "Zabuza-sama!" He shouted and ran towards where they was at. Naruto and Sasuke quickly followed him.
Kakashi ducked a wild swing and flipped backwards avoiding the attacks from Zabuza. The two had been fighting for a while and neither had gained the upper hand.
Zabuza slashed at him and he avoided it. Kakashi noticed that the Demon was now starting to show signs of being worn out as sweat covered his face.
"Time to end this…" He muttered and got a kunai out. Zabuza attacked him again and he avoided the attack and in the process cut his own hand spilling blood. "One more should do it."
Zabuza went to slice him in half with it and Kakashi did hand symbols. "Kuchiyose No Jutsu!" He shouted and disappeared in a poof of smoke and much to Zabuza's surprise a pair of large dogs appeared in place and bit down on his hands and shoulders.
"Damn!" He shouted when suddenly Kakashi appearing behind him stabbed him with the kunai in the shoulder blades in a half second each. Zabuza cried out in pain as he lost his grip on his weapon and dropped it and the dogs held him in place despite his attempts as his arms where now useless.
"It's over Zabuza…" Kakashi said and began making hand symbols. "It's time I end this once and for all!" He said and lightning started to form around him as he charged his attack.
"Nooo!" A voice shouted and Tazuna and Sakura saw a boy running towards them. Running as fast as he could to try and stop it with Naruto and Sasuke behind him.
"Raikiri-" Kakashi began to make his move when Naruto suddenly shouted.
"STOPPPP!" He said and calling on his speed appeared in front of Kakashi who had to divert his attack which went off harmlessly in a different direction.
"Naruto what are you doing?" He asked him wondering what had gotten into him.
"There's a different way. We don't have to do this."
"Naruto if you think Zabuza has some good in his heart you're crazy this guy must be stopped."
"But sensei-"
"If we don't stop him now he'll just try again as long as Gato continues to pay him money. Sorry but this is the only way."
Suddenly mocking laughter was heard and the entire group turned and saw a large group of thugs walking towards them and at the front was Gato.
"So Zabuza you've failed again." He said with a sneer. "No matter, if you want something done right do it yourself. I'll have each and everyone of you killed this instant as a lesson to this nest of maggots what will happen to those who oppose me! Not one of you will be spared. Yeah and that stupid boy will be killed Zabuza…slowly. Plus more of my men will show up with that other fool's head as well." He said and cackled.
"That fool is here…" A voice said and he turned his head and saw standing behind him Kimimaro Kaguya. Naruto saw with him a redheaded girl as well with a hat on her head and purple bow around her waist.
"W-What?" Gato shouted. "Impossible! You should be dead! What happened to my men?" He said as he could not believe that one person could defeat them all.
"They are all dead." Kimimaro responded.
"And the rest of your goons have fled the place you low life piece of shit." The redhead said to him. "If your going to rule through fear, at least have the strength to back it up you dumbass!" She said again and Gato saw behind them several of the villagers with Inari in the lead armed with weapons prepared to fight.
Gato sneered in fury and anger. "Zabuza! Kill them! I'll give you a quick and painless death if you wipe them all out!" He said and that perhaps was the dumbest thing he could've said still expecting the man who he had betrayed to still be loyal.
"Get your dogs off me Copy nin…" Zabuza said to him and he looked him in the eyes and understood. Kakashi sent the Ninja Dogs away.
"First things first…" He said and suddenly grabbed Haku surprising him even weakned he still had enough strength to do what he was going to do. "I release you from your debt. Find your own path now!" He said and threw him overboard surprising them. Haku landed in the water and was swept away by the currents.
"Zabuza-sama!" He shouted as he realized what he was going to do and despite his attempts could not get back there.
"Haku," Zabuza Momochi said watching him go out of sight as the waves took him away and he closed his eyes remembering their time together. "There's not much point in following a guy who's basically had a death wish for ten or so years. So thanks boy, thanks for keeping me human a little while longer." He said and removed the bandages that covered his mouth. "But I think before I die I got one last fight left in me…Hey Naruto!" He shouted at Naruto surprising him. "Toss me a kunai." He shouted and Naruto cautiously did so. He caught it with his teeth and put the handle part in his mouth.
"Fool you think to stop me without the use of your arms!" Gato shouted at him.
"You're lucky you piece of garbage that I am injured." Zabuza said and his eyes narrowed. "Cause it makes things a lot more fun!" He said and he charged head on right into the group.
He cut his way through the horde feeling no pain or wound. Not even when a spear got lodged into his back. The Demon of the Mist cut them down one by one, a devil in human flesh that made them run for their lives he was as he slowly made his way to his target.
"A true Warrior's Death." Kimimaro said watching it with rare passion in his eyes witnessing it. Above all else, The Kaguya clan desired death in battle and taking as many enemies with him before he died. It was a fitting end for the warrior clan.
Gato barely was able to say a curse before Zabuza decapitated his head from his body with it and with one last burst of strength kicked the body and head off the bridge and down into the water, ending the tyrant's brutal reign of terror.
"At long last this nightmare has ended…" Tazuna said witnessing it and a tear fell out of his eye as his dream could finally happen.
Zabuza Momochi fell to one knee as his wounds finally took their toll on him. He looked up and saw snow starting to fall. Blood flowed from many of the wounds as he had cuts and stabs littered over his body, along with a lifetime of scars that he had had his entire life.
Looking up at the falling snow he started to smile. Smiling still he fell on his back and closed his eyes for the last time.
"It's over…" Kakashi said to them. "Our mission is complete." He said as the group started to cheer knowing that their lives where finally freed. They where thanked by Tazuna and his family as they could now rebuild Wave and turn it into the place they dreamed it could be.
Naruto looked over wondering where Haku was at as the boy was out of sight and wondering what he was going to do now. Haku had to make his own choices now.
Later on Naruto saw Kimimaro walking away and he went to follow him. He passed by the red headed girl who had stayed in the back out of sight but noticed her looking at him as he went to follow his cousin.
"Kimimaro." He said to him and saw him clutching his chest for a moment. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine…" He replied. "You've gotten strong Trash."
Naruto rolled his eyes use to it. "Yeah, nice to see you're okay as well. Who's that girl who was with you?" He said and put his arms behind the back of his head and closed his eyes. "Well too bad you didn't get. I did pretty good if I say so myself. I, I owe you one for teaching me how to use my bloodline. That boy back there earlier has one too."
"Is that so…" Kimimaro asked and Naruto saw him with his back to him. "I…am happy to see that you have gotten stronger." He said and then began coughing for a few seconds. "When we get back to Konoha we shall resume your training." He said and pulled out a vial and took what appeared to be some medicine. "In due time, I'll have taught you everything I can teach you." He said and began walking away.
Naruto watched him go and saw the red headed girl walk after him.
"I don't know why Kimimaro is taking an interest in you all of a sudden kid." Tayuya said to him and he looked at her. "But if this keeps up him pushing himself the way he is he'll be dead in a manner of weeks." She said surprising him and went after him.
The news surprised Naruto with what she just said and could only watch them exit Wave. And even though there was hundreds of people celebrating at the moment.
It felt like he was the only person in the world…
