Chereads / THE WANDERING RONIN N / Chapter 11 - Ch - 10

Chapter 11 - Ch - 10

Last time

Naruto turned around and blocked a slash from the real Zabuza. Naruto felt on one knee struggling to withstand Zabuza superior strength*

Zabuza:you haven't seen anything yet you samurai...

Now

The sound of metal clashing against metal could be heard against the bridge as we see Naruto and Zabuza in the middle of battle*

Zabuza:Water Style: Water Dragon Missile

Naruto grunted as he was pushed back on the defensive as the water dragon engulfed Naruto sending him flying back while Zabuza took a few breath to regain his strength*

Zabuza:that's the problem with you samurai, always fighting with that code, you would have a better chance if you would just use a jutsu

the dragon took Naruto out of the bridge and made a straight line to the waters below*

Zabuza:I don't have that problem

Naruto got out and stabbed a pillar to stop him from dying from drowning, he quickly made his way back up and jumped behind Zabuza bow and arrow already in hand as he managed to stab Zabuza's back 3 times before landing*

Naruto:we samurai are stronger because of our code. We don't need you're filthy Justus

Naruto said with hatred water dripping out of his body. Zabuza turned around holding his blade over his shoulder as they ran at each other to start it all over again. Naruto had more skill then Zabuza with a blade but sadly for Naruto Zabuza had the strength advantage. Naruto blocked another attack and was pushed to the floor. Naruto looking up his vision still blurry from the blood transfer, Naruto raised his blade holding it with both hands as Zabuza slashed down making Naruto fall to his knees, Naruto grunted as he jumped out of the way letting

Zabuza's blade get jamed in the wood*

Zabuza:all that bravado and look at you running away like a coward

Naruto:I run from no man Shinobi, especially not a Shinobi scum without a heart. Come and face me you monster

Naruto said his vision still a little blurry as he ran toward Zabuza. Zabuza took his blade out of the the bridge and ran to Naruto that's when Zabuza' eyes widen, at the last minute Naruto swapped his weapon faster then Zabuza could react, instead of his sword Naruto had his spear out. Naruto jammed his spear on Zabuza shoulder making him grunt in pain, Naruto twisted the spear and broke the wooden part to make it harder for Zabuza to take it out. Naruto took a few steps back as Zabuza one handedly swung his sword at Naruto. Naruto used the now staff to block the now weaker strike but Zabuza was still strong enough to break the staff and send Naruto flying to the rail taking the wind out of his body*

Naruto jumped out of the way of Zabuza's strike and swung his own blade as Zabuza pulled up Naruto pulled down when it happened.the sound of the blade of Naruto's spear was heard falling against the wood as Zabuza fell to the ground and gave out a scream as Naruto slashed Zabuza's left arm clean off. Naruto took a few steps back holding his own blade with both arms feeling the blood from multiple open cuts slowly fall from his body*

Naruto:get up, I know you still have some fight in you demon now get up!!

Naruto said with a growl, Zabuza grunted in pain as with one hand he did another justsu seal, the water around them came to Zabuza and wrapped around the wound stopping Zabuza from dying of blood loss. Naruto and Zabuza glared at each other as they ran toward each other slashing there blades against each other again. Naruto had the wind taken out of his body as Zabuza kicked him in the liver once more sending him against the rail as Naruto tried to regain his strength. Zabuza fell on one knee

Feeling the affect of all the blood he lost. Zabuza eyes widen as an arrow hit against his sword's blade with enough force to send it flying to the sea bellow. He looked

at Naruto holding the bow responsible and a smirk on his face*

Naruto;l..it would seem as if we're on our last legs, let's finish this

Naruto said trying to get up but his body failing him still not recovering from the full forced liver kick. Zabuza on the other hand was already making hand signs to kill the samurai with a jutsu. That's when both heard him*

Gato:lost you're arm Zabuza? Guess I was right in looking for a replacement, or replacements to be more specific

Both heard the word of gato and the sounds of hundreds of footsteps coming towards them*

Gato:here I thought you were better then this Zabuza, oh well I'm sure the next one will be better

Zabuza:what is this?

Zabuza said looking at gato who was walking towards them, behind him was a small army of bandits more then Zabuza or Naruto could take care of in his current condition.*

Gato:well you see these men behind me? Even with all of them there not as expensive as you, so I thought why not crush two birds with one stone? As of now you can consider our contract terminated

Zabuza gave a hollow chuckle looking at gato with an emptiness in his eyes. Gato made it to where haku's corpse was laying peacefully and Smirked. Gato kicked haku's face making Naruto gasp in shock*

Gato:heh I only wish he was alive to feel it

Naruto:get away from him you scum!!

Naruto got up and fell back down breathing heavily. Naruto was grunting as he tried to get back up and glared at Zabuza*

Naruto:well what about you Zabuza?! You're just gonna let him do that?!

Zabuza:be quiet you fool. Haku's dead what does it matter...

Naruto:what?! You mean you can just stand there and watch him get treated like a dog?!

Naruto managed to push himself to a railing and hold himself up from there his hateful glare still not leaving Zabuza's direction*

Naruto:you and Haku were together for years doesn't that mean anything?!

Zabuza:you don't understand the way of Shinobi, I merely used him just as Gato used me.

Naruto:huh?

Zabuza:now it's over his usefulness it's at an end, the lost of his strength and skill yes. That means something to me, but the boy? Nothing

Naruto:if you mean that, you Shinobi are even bigger scum then I thought

Zabuza:a better use of you're time would be to runaway instead of staying here yelling at the wind. We're no longer enemies since gato decides to terminate our agreement

Zabuza moved his head and dodged the arrow aimed for his head. He looked at Naruto who was holding the bow with trembling finger and giving him the angriest glare Naruto could give*

Naruto; shut up! As far as I'm concerned you're enemy number one!

Naruto dropped his weapon and started breathing heavily on a mix of hatred and exhaustion*

Naruto:why you...after everything he did for you. Haku lived for you!!

Mini flashback

Naruto and Haku we're under a tree speaking and enjoying some oranges*

Haku:Is there someone who's precious to you? Present

Naruto:You were the most important thing in the world to him!

Mini flashback

Haku:for me there's only one person who matters and my purpose is to protect and serve him, and that purpose is what gives me my strength

Present

Naruto:And he meant nothing to you?! Nothing at all?!

Mini flashback

Naruto was helping Haku pick out flowers, he looked at Haku*

Naruto:why are you a Shinobi? When you're heart is so pure?

Haku stopped and looked at Naruto giving him a hollow smile*

Haku:the way of Shinobi is very difficult for me, but I do it because I love zabuza

Present

Naruto:While he was sacrificing everything for you you never felt anything at all for him?!

tears started to fall from Naruto's face as Naruto let them fall freely. Even if it was for a short amount of time Haku was his friend*

Mini Flashback

Zabuza:why are you following me?

Zabuza asked looking at the small boy behind him, Haku looked to the ground as if he was bowing*

Haku:because I want to help you. I will do anything to see you're dreams fulfilled, even become Shinobi if I must

Present

Naruto:is this what it means to be Shinobi? To become as

coldhearted as you are? He threw his life and for what?!

For you and you're dream?! You never let him have a dream of his own, but he didn't care he told me he was happy just to be by you're side. And you just toss him aside. Like he was nothing! A broken too, man that's so wrong so. WRONG!!

Zabuza:you talk too much...

Naruto eyes widen slightly as he looked up at Zabuza. Naruto saw tears falling to the ground, Zabuza looked up in to the dark sky as tears fall from his face thinking of Haku and everything they've been through*

Zabuza:you're words cut deep, deeper then any blade...while he fought you his heart was breaking in two. You see haku was always too soft and too kind, he felt pain and sorrow and now curse him I feel them too, and something else I feel content that this is the way it ends

Zabuza took off the bandages around his face and looked at Naruto who tear stained face remained silent*

Zabuza:well cat got you're tongue? Are you so surprised to discovered that even us Shinobi are really human samurai? Even we Shinobi are humans no matter how hard we try to escape that simple fact. We always failed, well at least I have failed

Gato:oh that was so touching I might almost let a tear escape my eye. If you're both done this little conversation of yours It's time we move on. I have places to be

Zabuza:samurai. N I need to ask you for a favor

Naruto didn't speak he knew what he was gonna ask, Naruto took out his blade and threw it at Zabuza who caught it with his one good arm. Zabuza swings it around a bit and looked at the bandits and Gato, the bandits were starting to look nervous*

Zabuza:this is not where you end samurai, but it is where I will, I ask that you burry me with Haku even if where he goes I cannot follow

Naruto nodded as he fell to the ground his legs finally gave out on him. Gato let a low growl as he pointed at Zabuza as he started running to the back *

Gato:well what are you waiting for, kill him!!!

A scream was heard from all the bandits as they ran forward all holding there weapons forwards. Zabuza smirked and ran towards them killing everyone in his path. Zabuza jumped to the air as memories of Haku started to fill his mind, Zabuza landed and more men died by his hand until he started to get overwhelmed, finally some bandits started to jam there weapons on Zabuza making him grunt, one slammed a bow right on his stomach taking the wind out of his body*

Bandit:you think you can take us all by yourself?!

Haku"Zabuza I'll help you reach you're dream"

Zabuza gave an inhuman snarl as he knocked them out and kept running forward, the bandits started getting scared as Zabuza's chakra came out making the face of a blue Oni behind him*

Bandit:w..what is that?!

Bandit:a demon!

Zabuza Made it out to the other side of the small army and reached a terrified looking gato who had nowhere to run as he was on the other side of the bridge where the 2% was unfinished *

Zabuza:gato!!!

Zabuza jabbed the blade forward stabbing gato, Zabuza grunted In pain and took a few steps away from gato as the surrounding bandits all jammed spears in to his back*

Zabuza: where...where he went I cannot follow...

Zabuza said out of breath as he turned around and face gato who had blood coming out of his mouth and Naruto's sword jammed on his gut. Zabuza started walking towards Gato who was stumbling back*

Gato:get back, get back!

But Zabuza ignored him and got on gato's face smiling at him*

Zabuza:old man it's somewhere else where you and me are gonna go, we're gonna spend so much time together Gato. I can't think of a better place for a demon Shinobi, there a lot of demons down there of All shapes and sizes.

I'll fit right in you on the other hand Gato, well I'm afraid you're gonna have a long and torturous eternity...!!

Zabuza took the sword out and started slashing Gato over and over again until Zabuza jammed the speed on gato's heart. Zabuza took the blade out and let gato fall in to the ocean as Zabuza turned around the bandits heard the splash of gato's body making them all terrified*

Bandits: he's almost dead we can take...!!

those were the last words that bandit ever said as a arrow head appeared inside his mouth killing him*

Naruto:a demon on one side and a samurai on the other, both without fear of death, mind if I give you a hand demon of the mist?

Naruto said at a distance already pointing his bow and arrow at another bandit. Zabuza gave a weak cackle*

Zabuza:just make sure you aim that thing right and don't shoot me

that day even far away in the town people could hear the screams of the bandits as Naruto and Zabuza killed them all without a second thought or a hint of mercy*

Author note: zabuza bridge scene was my favorite in all of original Naruto I was never gonna change it
