. Anything you could possibly imagine, they would be to do with a seal.
Kushina, came here because of the special chakra she contained and that she was going to be the next jinchuriki of the Kyubi No Yoko. "
At this Naruto went wide eyed. He did not know that his own mother was the previous host of Akane.
He knew he had to ask her about that later. Naruto then asks.
"Ji-ji what happened to Uzushiogakure?"
Sarutobi sighed very sadly and was about to continue until in comes a a little pug with a Konoha hitai-ate. The little pug jumps on the table.
"Kakashi has a message for you" The pug says in a gruff voice handing him a scroll. Naruto although looked puzzled at the dog, wondering how it talked.
Reading it Sarutobi sighs.
"Okay thanks Pakkun. Go back and tell him I'm sending someone" With a nod Pakkun runs off.
Sarutobi now looks at Naruto. "Naruto-kun, I know you just came back from a mission but I would really appreciate if you can take this one" Naruto only sighs.
"What is the mission old man? But you better tell more about Uzushiogakure when I get back. " Sarutobi smiles.
"I will Naruto-kun. Well it seems Team 7 was on a C rank turned A rank mission to escort a bridge builder named Tazuna.
They not only encountered two chunnin missing nin's, but it seems they have encountered an A rank missing nin by the name of Zabuza Momoichi, former seven ninja swordsman of the mist. "
"Team 8 is there as well as a joint mission but it seems Kurenai and Kakashi are holding him off and having trouble. " Naruto absorbs the information giving to him.
He wanted to stay here for a little bit. But this was his ji-ji and this might be a chance to test someone who knows how to handle a sword.
"Alright ji-ji. I'll go.
Where am I going?" Sarutobi replies "You will be going to wave country. Here is a map.
" Naruto nods and walks out of the hokage tower. Looking at the map he quickly shunpo's out of Konoha.
With Team 7 & 8
Kakashi knew that agreeing to continue on with this mission would be in the words of Shikamaru, troublesome. Not only he had to fight to missing nin's but now he has to fight against a member of the famed seven ninja swordsman of the mist.
Kakashi and Kurenai told their students to guard Tazuna. At first they were all afraid of the mist he produced followed by an enormous amount of killing intent courtesy of Zabuza.
Sauske was even close to stabbing himself with a kunai. Although his a speech was able to calm him down.
So where do we find Kakashi now? Well we can find him inside a water prison justu held by Zabuza. While a clone of Zabuza is fighting Kurenai.
"Man this water prison justu is unbreakable. Only if someone were able to attack the original Zabuza.
But Kurenai is fighting a clone, while the students are protecting the builder. Man I hope help comes soon.
" Kakashi thought
Kurenai P. O.

"Damn none of my genjustu techniques seem to be working. And I'm running low on chakra too.
Dammit. "
Kurenai once again engages Zabuza in taijustu hoping to at least land a hit. Kurenai jumped and threw a roundhouse only for Zabuza to dodge it and come with an upwards slice, nicking her side.
Kurenai jumps back and winces in pain.
"As beautiful as you are, the genjustu mistress of Konoha, I have to kill you. Goodbye.
" Zabuza lunges at Kurenai to fast for her eyes to comprehend. As a last defense she holds up a kunai only for her to be knocked back into a tree.
Half lidded, she see's Zabuza approaching her.
"Well I guess this it. Again.
Kami why do I always end up in these situations? My only regret is that I didn't get to find a man. Or go on a date with Naruto-kun.
" She thought.
Closing her eyes. She slowly opens them again to find a tall blonde man standing in front of her.
"I-Is that, that Naruto-kun? He would end up saving me again. My hero" Kurenai thought smiling before passing out due to energy exhaustion.

Shunpoing through the forest Naruto see's foot prints he stops to look at them. "Well it seems these are fresh.
They must be up ahead" Naruto thought.
Speeding further into the forest he senses multiple energies. Coming to a clearing he hops on a branch and stays hidden.
"Well this is team 7 and 8. " Naruto said.
Looking around he see's Sauske, Sakura and Sai guarding an old man.
Next to them as well he see's Hinata, Shino and Kiba. Looking further he see's a man with grey hair in a bubble.
Finding his target he see's a man with a huge sword slowly walking towards a women. Noticing who it is, he quickly shunpo's in the middle of them.

Zabuza came close to Kurenai until another person jumped in front of him. Looking at him all he can tell was he was a tall blonde man with a sword.
"So who are you and why are you here?" Zabuza asked. Naruto gently placed his palm on the hilt of his sword
"My name is none of your concern for now. I was sent on a mission to back up the man your holding and Kurenai-chan.
" Zabuza smirks under his mask. Naruto took this time to examine him.
He was tall and noticeably muscular. Along with short spiky black hair, brown eyes, and small eyebrows.
He wore bandages like a mask over the bottom half of his face with his hitai-ate sideways to his head. He also had huge sword in his hand.
"Are you any good with that sword?" Zabuza says. Naruto remains silent.
"Well more ninjas for me to kill. That's fine.
" Zabuza said only for him to lunge at him with sword. Zabuza an inch away swings his sword knowing he is finished, but Zabuza witnessed something that shocked him to his core.
