With Sasuke
Seeing Zabuza's ally heading towards them, Sasuke begins to run in his direction to intercept him, to which Haku stopped about 3 meters from the Uchiha who had his superior smile on his face. "I would ask you to surrender, but where's the fun in that?" said the raven watching as his opponent didn't seem to have reacted. "Are you done talking? Because if so, I have a mission to accomplish," Haku said indifferently, causing Sasuke to frown and grit his teeth, feeling like he was not being taken into account by his adversary.
"You'll see, you damn scum, I'll make you eat your words," said the Uchiha as he lunged towards Haku with kunai in hand. He made Haku a pair of senbon needles to throw towards Sasuke, who managed to block some of the needles, but due to a slight carelessness, he failed to block one of those needles, which ended up with one of them sticking into one of his thighs. This caused the Konoha raven-haired boy to stop and pull the senbon needle out of his body, but when he looked back in front of him he saw Haku standing in front of him just a few meters away.
Where both opponents started a Taijutsu fight, Haku with bare hands while Sasuke with Kunas in hand. "Die" Sasuke said as he began throwing punches and cuts intending to stab his opponent in vital areas, so Haku had to move to the side to avoid Sasuke's attacks. Zabuza's apprentice had to step back a little to dodge a kick from Sasuke, to see how the Uchiha passed by her, so using one of her hands she hit Sasuke's hand moving it to the side.
Which made Sasuke growl slightly at that, but he continued to throw slashes at him along with the occasional kick from the raven, causing Haku to slowly back away. Zabuza's apprentice began to block each blow, then moved to the side as she saw the Uchiha throw both kunai at her, managing to get away from the attack range, the false hunter managed to avoid both weapons to confront Sasuke again. Seeing that when he kicked him again he noticed an opening in his attack, so Haku extended his hand to catch the Uchiha's kick, he was surprised by that action, but he didn't have time to think about it because he received a strong blow to his face. This threw the member of Team 7 off balance, as he saw his opponent kick him backward, where the Uchiha hit the ground hard, where he soon felt the air leave his lungs for a few moments.
Sasuke started coughing as he tried to catch his breath."GRRRR you will pay for that scum" growled the Konoha raven now more recovered then took some distance and began to make signs with his hands "Fire-style great fireball jutsu" said Sasuke as a fireball formed in his mouth and launched it at his opponent. To which Haku responded with his own hand seals "Water style: pressure bullet" She slightly lifted her mask so she could then shoot a water ball that when it collided with the fireball generated a bit of steam, the fake hunter took out a kunai from her sleeves and then raised it in the air where she blocked a stab from Sasuke, both opponents were fighting in a battle of strength.
While maintaining their position. "Wow, you're not doing badly," said the dark-haired man, trying to overcome his opponent's strength. ' This better end soon,' Haku thought, looking at the Uchiha. 'You better give up if you don't want to get hurt,' the fake hunter offered to her opponent. "I give up, HAHAHAHA" Sasuke said and started laughing "Why would I do something like that?" the Uchiha asked. "Because if you don't you'll die," Haku said so he could start making seals with his free hand which made Sasuke open his eyes. "Ice-style; demonic ice mirrors" aid Zabuza's subordinate so that crystal structures begin to form around her so that soon these structures would be smooth.
Resembling a pair of mirrors as both Haku and Sasuke's reflection could be seen, where the masked woman soon moved away from the Uchiha and sank into one of these. "Surrender now or you will die," said Haku from the mirror, only to see his opponent simply perform another pair of hand seals. "Fire style Great fireball Jutsu" shouted Sasuke as he fired a fireball with the mirrors.
When the fireball hit the mirrors, Sasuke saw how his jutsu was not only effective, but it seemed like it hadn't done anything to him. "TSK, how annoying", said Sasuke after seeing how his jutsu was not effective "Let's see if you can withstand this," said the Konoha genin to again perform hand seals "Fire style Tongues of Fire," said the Uchiha to shoot three bursts of fire (Like a flamethrower) at the mirror in which she was. When the jutsu collided with the mirrors a bit of smoke rose, the genin smiled when he saw how the mirror where his opponent was and the mirrors around him were melted. "It's useless," Haku said, surprising Sasuke, who looked back to see her in another mirror. "As long as my mirrors are still standing, I can move between them to avoid any attack you throw at me," the masked woman said. Sasuke just growled at those words but was also surprised to see how the ice mirrors he had managed to destroy rose again.
"Let's end this Ice style: thousand needles of death," said Zabuza's apprentice so that several senbon needles began to form from all the mirrors, which shot out in the direction of the Uchiha. He just watched as the needles got closer and closer. ' No, I won't die, move, damn it, I can't die like this, I'll die without being able to kill him,' thought Sasuke while his whole body felt great tension and stress, but while he lamented, the Uchiha could notice how everyone seemed to go slower. The senbons seemed to go slower, and Sasuke could foresee where they were going. 'I can see them' the Konoha genin thought as he started moving forward while jumping avoiding the first senbons and then moving his body enough so that the senbon needles only tore his clothes and left a few cuts.
Soon Sasuke found himself lying on the ground as he began to gasp for air to try and calm down, realizing that he had managed to escape death. "Are those?" said Haku as she saw how Sasuke's black eyes had changed to a blood-red color while two tendrils appeared in each of them, the ice user began to curse for not having taken care of the Uchiha much sooner. As Sasuke began to get up and look forward, he noticed something in the glass mirrors, where he could see how his clan's Doujutsu, the Sharingan, was displayed in his eyes. The Uchiha was stupefied, but soon that surprise turned into joy.
"Hehehe, finally, finally I woke it up, I was finally able to awaken the Sharingan," said Sasuke, laughing again, then looking at his opponent and smiling at him "Now you will die, since like my ancestors did with their enemies, now I can see any movement you make, I am invincible" shouted the Konoha genin. Haku responded by throwing more senbons, but Sasuke just smiled as he began to dodge every senbon that came at him, causing his smile to widen. "It's useless, now that I have these eyes no one will be able to defeat me" declared the Uchiha to his opponent. But in that, Sasuke felt like his right arm and left leg felt heavy, so he looked away at his body only for him to open his eyes in pure surprise, as he saw how two ice senbons were embedded in both his left arm and his right leg.
"But how, at what moment?" said the Uchiha in disbelief, not having seen when his opponent had managed to stick the needles into him. So I look at his opponent. "It seems like your precious eyes can't see everything," Haku said as he began to analyze the situation ' It seems like if you can't see where the attack is coming from you won't be able to predict it ' Haku thought. So Zabuza's apprentice began to attack the raven, who managed to avoid some by using a kunai to destroy them, but little by little the senbons were embedded in the Uchiha, who tried to perform another set of hand seals, but his opponent did not give him time to finish them.
As he launched another group of senbon needles at him, in no time Sasuke began to imitate a pincushion while moaning in pain at the feeling of all the ice needles stuck in his skin. "You AAAAHH!!" the dark-haired boy complained as he looked angrily at Haku. "You'll pay for this, you damn piece of shit," said Sasuke, who tried to move, but discovered that his body was barely responding. Feeling that he had already dealt with his opponent, Haku was preparing another attack to knock the Uchiha unconscious, not wanting to kill him due to his gentle nature, so he fired his senbon at non-lethal points.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH," a loud scream could be heard throughout the battlefield, but to Haku's horror, it was feminine. The ice user could only frown as she watched the pink-haired girl stand where the Uchiha had previously been, in front of the builder. Tazuna didn't say anything, as he was very surprised by everything that had happened as he looked at the Uchiha. Haku came out of his mirror and approached the girl while getting rid of the ice senbon.
Sakura's POV
Sakura had gone and stayed with the bridge builder, feeling she wouldn't be much help as she watched the Uchiha elite get an extreme acupuncture treatment. Suddenly, she felt a pull, and before she could react, pain shot through her body as she found herself in the ice dome that the masked shinobi had made. Meanwhile, Sasuke was where she once was, to the shock of Tazuna. Her vision slowly faded as coldness flooded her body. "SAKURA-CHAN!" an enraged Naruto shouted.
Change of POV
Naruto was livid. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. One moment Sasuke was in the ice dome while Sakura protected the client, the next both had switched places. Now Sakura was lying prone inside the dome of ice mirrors, with countless senbons sticking out of her body. Meanwhile, he could see the smug look on the last Uchiha's face.
A swirl of black and dark red energy surrounded his body as his canines became more elongated. His fingernails turned more claw-like as they lengthened. Meanwhile, the whisker marks that defined his cheeks became more prominent, while his eyes changed one was a black eye with a white slit and two tomo rotating and the other was red with a black slit and three tomos. His cloak bellowed from the gusts of wind his power was generating around his body. "She should feel honored Sasuke said indifferently as his body trembled and looked like he was about to fall to the ground "Serving as a shield for the elite, is the best a useless person like her can do," he said looking at Naruto. There was a feeling of great pressure on the spot, causing everyone to freeze and be unable to move their muscles, but Sasuke couldn't think about that, as he felt his body lift off the ground and then felt great pain in his stomach that made him spit out blood.
The Uchuha hit one of the concrete pillars of the bridge, where Sasuke could be seen embedded in the pillar and was also unconscious, in that everyone could see Naruto was standing where his teammate previously stood. "Did you kill him?" Tazuna asked the Blonde, who simply shook his head. "Don't just knock him unconscious," said the Uzumaki, his eyes darkened, and the Hanyou formed two shadow clones. "Keep an eye on them," said the original, to which his two clones nodded. Where one went to get the Uchiha out of the pillar while the other stayed with Tazuna to protect him.
At that, Haku noticed the dark glow in his eyes that were still shadowed. The jinchuriki had witnessed everything since he emerged from the shadows near a tree next to the bridge, where he could see how his teammate was replaced by Sakura, causing her to receive the attack. Which bothered him greatly, since he knew that some people would do anything to survive, but still seeing how they attacked his partner, whom he began to see as a friend.
Thoughts of Killing The Uchiha passed through his mind Only to be stopped "Naruto that's enough" Kurama growled to him he wanted nothing but to see Naruto rip the Uchiha apart. "This isn't the time for that remember where we are" said Kurama 'But' tried to reply the blonde. "I also want to see him in pain but remember what you promised Mikoto and Suki even if he is scum Think how they'll feel." Said Kurama making Naruto stop dead in his tracks. As much as he despised Sasuke at this moment and frankly didn't care about the consequences that would come from killing him, he couldn't and didn't want to think about causing Mikoto and Suki-chan two of the few people that he app appreciated in the world, and one of the first to treat him like a human being any kind of pain, whether physical or mental.
So Naruto reluctantly had to swallow his anger and annoyance, having to sigh to calm himself down. "You're right, as much as I hate to admit it Kurama Thank you," Said Naruto beginning to feel his anger dissipate "Yeah yeah Whenever you want," said The Uzumaki then headed towards where Haku was, who was still holding Sakura, the Ice user was applying a cream to the places where her senbons had hit the pink haired girl. "How are you?" the Hanyou asked the ice user, who had taken off her mask and seemed a little calmer. "He'll get better soon, I know a little medical ninjutsu," said Haku making the Blonde sigh "Naruto-kun, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." said the ice user, panicking a little, but was stopped by the Uzumaki, who had placed his hand on her shoulder.
' He's going to hate me for this, of course, he will, I should have finished that bastard off with the first blow,' Haku thought, but she felt the Blonde grab her cheek and stare at her with a soft smile. This caused the girl to blush because of how close the young man was to her face. "Calm down Haku-chan, none of this is your fault, it was the bastard who caused all this," said Naruto calming the ice user a little.
Naruto began to approach Zabuza's apprentice, who upon seeing this action blushed a little at the Blonde's actions. ' He's going to... Naruto-kun's going to... ' Haku thought as she watched the Hanyou's actions, making her more nervous, but excited at the same time. ' It's going to be my first kiss ' the ice user thought as she closed her eyes. But only to open them again when she felt Naruto kissing her on the forehead. "Thank you for what you did for my friend, Haku," the Blonde said, causing Haku to feel slightly disappointed, which made her sigh a little as Naruto put his cloak on Sakura. Soon the Uzumaki gets up and turns around, then begins to head towards the area where Kakashi and Zabuza were.
"Naruto-kun, where are you going?" Haku asked, looking at the Uzumaki's back. "I'm just going to give him the rematch I promised Zabuza," said the hanyou while looking at Haku "Ah, I almost forgot," said the Blonde forming a sword of darkness in his hands and pointing it at the face of the ice user, who was surprised by this action.
"Are you giving up, Haku-chan?" the Hanyou asked with a smile, which made Haku understand what the Blonde meant.
"I surrender, Naruto-kun," said Haku, smiling back at the jinchuriki. Upon hearing those words, the jinchuriki threw away his sword and headed toward where his sensei was fighting the mist demon.
With Kakashi and Zabuza
Kakashi at this point was having a hard time with his fight because Zabuza had found a way to counteract the effect of his Sharingan, by closing his eyes and using the rest of his senses to attack the Konoha jonin. This way, it prevented Hatake from predicting certain movements of his opponent. Furthermore, it was noticeable that his excessive use of his left eye was taking its toll on Team 7's sensei. "Water style; water dragon bullet," Zabuza said causing a large amount of water in the shape of a dragon to shoot out against Kakashi, forcing the silver-hairedman to back up and move to the side to avoid his opponent's jutsu.
The water dragon crashed into one of the bridge's retaining walls, destroying that part.
Kakashi quickly closed the distance with his enemy and then had to duck to avoid a slash that was going to cut him in two. Having avoided the enormous sword, the Hatake soon launched a sweep at Zabuza's legs.
He had to jump back, which the silver-haired Jonin took advantage of to launch a flurry of shurikens at his opponent. Zabuza, using his sword, manages to block the projectiles that come towards him.
But the moment he pulled his sword away, the swordsman had to open his eyes slightly to see Kakashi performing a sequence of hand seals.
"Water style; great water dragon," Kakashi said finishing the sequence of seals.
But using all his strength and speed, Zabuza ran towards one of the bridge's concrete pillars and began to climb it. He barely managed to dodge the blow of the jutsu, which devastated and destroyed the bridge pillar.
The swordsman turns towards Kakashi, to run towards where the Hatake was just enough to launch a thrust that the silver-hairedman had difficulty stopping with two kunai he held in his hands.
Zabuza began to apply more force on his push managing to make Kakashi begin to back away, but they both heard a scream and both unconsciously looked at the place where the scream came from, where Kakashi could see how Sakura was hit by several ice senbons in her body.
The silver-haired man was about to blame the fake hunter when he saw where Sasuke was, who had several ice needles on his body which made Kakashi open his eyes.
' Did Sasuke do... ' thought Hatake, not believing what he was seeing, as both separated because both Zabuza and Kakashi saw Naruto hit the Uchiha and he hit one of the bridge pillars.
Internally Hatake wanted to scold his blonde apprentice for the headache of punching Sasue, but another part of him wanted to congratulate him for hitting the Uchiha for sacrificing a person in such a way, for his part Zabuza knew that his revenge with the blonde had arrived. So the former Kiri Shinobi looks at the copy ninja. "Well, Kakashi our fight is over," said the mist demon.
"Don't tell me you're giving up," the Jonin said, looking back at his opponent. No, I'm just switching opponents," said the swordsman, watching as Naruto arrived at the place and stood next to Kakashi. Since I want a rematch with the Gaki," said the former Kiri-Nin.
"Kakashi-sensei, I'll take care of Zabuza," Naruto said without looking at his jonin sensei. Since it seems we have unfinished business," the blonde said. Kakashi looked at Naruto, sighing. Alright, Naruto. I'll give you enough time. I'll deal with both you and Sasuke's punishment later," said Kakashi, noticing the repressed anger in Naruto's eyes.
"Understood Kakashi-sensei," said Naruto causing Kakashi to step back a couple of meters, while Zabuza looked closely at the genin "So," said Naruto looking closely at Zabuza "I hope you're not too tired Zabuza-san, I promised you a Kenjutsu battle and I'm sorry in advance if I overstep my boundaries," said the Uzumaki as he formed a dark Katana. "Because I plan to release some stress in our fight," the blonde said, causing Zabuza to get emotional at those words.
"Not at all Gaki, you don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment, since I haven't been able to think about anything else these days," said Zabuza getting into position for combat
'Yugao did a good job on training him in kenjutsu' thought Kakashi 'You even modeled your style after Kushina-nee's jutsu.' "Well Zabuza are you ready?" said Uzumaki looking with a face that reflected pure excitement. "Go Gaki!!" Zabuza shouted with a smile under his bandages.
In less than a second, both opponents ran toward each other, with Zabuza swinging his sword at Naruto, who put his sword to block the blow, causing him to move to the side. So Uzumaki grabs the handle of his sword and quickly moves it upwards causing Zabuza's sword to follow the same trajectory, which Naruto takes advantage of to launch an upward cut towards the chest of the former Kiri swordsman. Zabuza responded by spinning his sword in his hands to stop his opponent's blow where he could feel the entire blade of his weapon slightly bend under the force of the blonde's cut.
Seeing how his attack was blocked, the Uzumaki stepped back a little so that the moment his feet barely touched the ground, the Uzumaki once again lunged at his opponent, who had to use all his strength to start moving his sword. To begin blocking the blows and cuts that the Uzumaki was throwing at him, where soon both of them launched cuts in different directions, causing them to start moving all over the place. As Zabuza stepped back again to jump towards one of the bridge pillars, where leaning over the concrete structure, the swordsman used his strength to jump forward toward the Uzumaki. To send him a downward cut.
*CLANK*
A loud metallic sound rang out all around, where Zabuza opened his eyes as he saw the blonde stopping his blow by raising his katana and holding the handle while supporting the blade with his other hand, while at his feet he could see how the ground was slightly cracked. He believed that the Uzumaki would retreat from his blow, but he stopped thinking about that when he felt his entire body begin to retreat or rather be sent back by the Uzumaki's force. When Zabuza hits the ground he sees how the blonde is heading towards his direction again, which causes him to start moving in a zigzag, but the Hanyou soon catches up to him and starts slashing each other again.
Seeing how the jinchuriki moved to the side, Zabuza sent a punch towards the Hanyou's face, who moved a few centimeters to avoid the blow, to which Zabuza launched a diagonal slash towards the Hanyou, who placed his sword to block the blow, but he didn't expect Zabuza to use both of his hands in the slash he threw at him. Which made him jump backward, placing one of his hands on the ground, Naruto began to perform some one-handed backflips while holding his sword with his other hand. The blonde jumped and landed on another of the pillars where he stuck his feet to the vertical surface of the structure, but he didn't have much time since he had to lean to the right to avoid Zabuza's sword sticking into the concrete of the pillar. This caused the blonde to move and land on the ground, only to see the swordsman heading towards him, which the Uzumaki took advantage of to launch a horizontal cut at the former Kiri-Nin's torso but was surprised how Zabuza managed to lean enough to avoid the edge of his sword. When former Kiri-Nin walked past the jinchuriki to approach where his sword was stuck, he managed to pull it out without any problem, both opponents looked at each other for a few moments. "Come on Gaki, I'm just getting started," Zabuza said, smiling beneath his bandages as the blonde smiled back. "In that case, let's continue," Naruto said, giving his opponent a smile from the sheer excitement of the moment.
At that, Naruto launches himself toward the former Kiri swordsman and begins to move his sword faster, throwing blows to both sides of his opponent, where Zabuza begins to try to contain them and then attempts a counterattack. But Zabuza could barely do so due to the speed of his opponent's attacks, where he began to feel how the Uzumaki's cuts began to overcome his defense, causing superficial cuts to appear on the former Kiri shinobi's body. The swordsman swung his sword harder against the blonde causing both weapons to start releasing sparks with each cut they made, then both clashed their weapons and remained in a grip of pure strength by both opponents.
As the two struggled, the Uzumaki moved his sword to the side, sliding his sword along the blade of Zabuza's Kubikiribōchō, so that the edge of his katana pointed at the face of the former Kiri-Nin, who had to move to the side to avoid the blow. This caused Zabuza to slightly lose his balance as he had to step back, but that carelessness was enough for Naruto to slip under Zabuza's guard and deliver a strong blow to his stomach with his fist, which made him spit out a little blood staining his bandages. As Zabuza flew backward he tried to slash the Uzumaki's head, but the Hanyou simply ducked under the slash, while the former Kiri-Nin stepped back a couple of meters.
Both opponents looked at each other, where Zabuza was holding his stomach as he tried to catch his breath, but it could also be seen how a smile remained on Naruto and Zabuza's faces, although the Kiri-nin's was covered by his blood-stained bandages. Naruto had to admit one thing, although he spent several years training with Anko, Yugao, Mikoto, and Kakashi, he could not deny the excitement he felt at this moment before a real fight, the difference was quite a lot. He didn't know much about his opponent, this wasn't a practice duel in which both could come out alive, even if they both had a deal there was a chance that one would end up killing the other, whereas, even if the Uzumaki was limited, he couldn't help but feel the need to test his limits in this fight.
That simple uncertainty and self-improvement were exciting in the blonde's mind, so he focused on his opponent, who seemed to be enjoying the entire fight, even though his body was bleeding and he was injured, but in the swordsman's gaze, there was no desire to give up. And without anyone saying anything they once again engaged in a Kenjutsu fight. Zabuza and Naruto continued to exchange blows with each other, and one of these slashes hit the ground, leaving fine cut marks on the concrete in its wake, Zabuza was pleasantly surprised to see that the blonde was not only giving him a great fight but was giving him a hard time defending himself.
"This is better than I expected Gaki!!" Zabuza shouted in ecstasy as he blocked a blow from the young jinchuriki. "I haven't had fun like this in years!" the former Kiri shinobi declared. Naruto just smiled back at his opponent, as he dodged and blocked another of Zabuza's attacks, causing him to jump back and get into a new stance as he decided to end this. The blonde was even on his knees, with both legs separated diagonally, and holding his sword with his left hand the upper part of the sheath, and his right hand the handle, while the sharp part was facing upwards. "Dance of the dawn sun," said the Uzumaki making Zabuza prepare for the blow, but the swordsman only watched as Naruto disappeared from his place and reappeared in front of him.
Zabuza sends a stab at the blonde, but Naruto doesn't even notice until the sword is centimeters from his face, at that moment Zabuza saw how his sword flew out of his hands and then felt something cold resting against his neck. Looking to the side he could see the blonde's body next to him while he could be seen holding his katana just centimeters from his neck.
Kakashi stared in amazement at his student. This is because if it weren't for his Sharingan, he could say that he wouldn't have seen Uzumaki's movements. The moment Zabuza launched the thrust with his sword at the blonde's face, the latter moved his katana at high speed from bottom to top, deflecting his enemy's weapon from his face.
So then the Uzumaki headed towards his opponent's neck to stop before cutting off his head. The silver-haired Joninn could swear that his student's movements resembled the rising of the sun at dawn, as he had seen the completion of that technique in the past and how lethal the technique was. Kakashi could only smile at the sight of the Uzumaki and for a few moments had a brief image of the past. He could see how a red-haired woman finished off several enemies with the same technique as the blonde, only that she had finished performing it, where Hatake could remember seeing several bodies lying down from various subjects who seemed to be enemies.
Even with the disturbing scene, Kakashi could only smile under his mask as he remembered the person who had performed that technique, but he shook off those thoughts as he returned to the present and began to approach where the Uzumaki was. For his part, Zabuza could feel some of his blood slide down his body before the edge of Hanyou Naruto's sword, where the former Kiri shinobi easily knew that the sword could cut off his head without much effort since it was barely resting against his neck and had already caused a minor wound, but it was still a wound.
"I win, Zabuza-san," said the jinchuriki removing his sword from his opponent's neck, who only sighed. "That was a great fight Gaki, I haven't had fun like that in a long time," the swordsman said with pride in his voice as he wiped the small trail of blood from his neck. 'Should tell him I was still holding back' thought Naruto. "Nah it'll be funnier when he figures out you were still holding back and wants to rematch you." Laughed Kurama. 'Yeah maybe' But Uzumaki moved his head to the side towards the area of the beginning of the bridge where he could feel a large presence approaching his position, Naruto turned and saw that both Kakashi and Zabuza had also noticed.
Naruto formed a pair of shadow clones and sent them to protect Haku, Sakura, and Sasuke, although the latter was more to avoid a problem than for his generosity, when the clones returned he could see how Sakura could already walk while Sasuke was still unconscious. While Haku, seeing Zabuza's condition, approached to try to heal his wounds, to which the swordsman told him that he was fine and that there was nothing to worry about, for his part Tazuna was confused.
The reason why Zabuza didn't try to kill him and why the blonde had brought them to that place. But a moment later their doubts were cleared because the entire group saw a crowd of at least 250 bandits standing in front of them with swords, spears, knives, etc. Each of the bandit horde members was talking amongst themselves, but soon they all started moving as they made way for one person, causing Tazuna to frown and grit his teeth.
"Well it seems I'm going to stop hiring renegade shinobi from Kiri since it seems they can't meet my expectations", said Gato, who stood in front of all the bandits "And it seems the mist demon was defeated by a waste of a brat," said the tycoon while laughing which was followed by the entire group of bandits.
"I'm sorry Zabuza, but high-ranking shinobi are very expensive and it seems they are no longer as accurate or useful as they sound," said Gato looking at the aforementioned to adjust his glasses. "So instead I decided to pay all these gentlemen to help me complete the job I assigned to you," said the tyrant Nami looking at Tazuna while spitting on the ground. For his part, Zabuza wasn't paying attention to what Gato was saying, rather he was very calm watching and analyzing which of all the bandits could represent a real threat.
Where he could identify that most of them were small-time criminals and the occasional samurai with some experience in the use of the sword, but then he noticed how Kakashi and Naruto had stood next to him. "Hey, Gaki, you don't have a soldier pill, do you?" the mist swordsman asked without taking his eyes off all the bandits, hoping that the Hanyou had one.
"You're actually in luck, I still have some left," the blonde said in a low voice as he discreetly passed the pill to the former Kiri-Nin, so he could chew it and swallow it, then look at the silver-haired jonin. "Kakashi it seems we are no longer enemies so I am no longer going after the builder's head," said Zabuza making Tazuna sigh a little at his words "So you are cordially obliged to participate in this," said the now ex-employee of Gato looking discreetly at the silver-hairedjonin.
"Wow, I thought you weren't going to invite me to this party," Kakashi said in his lazy tone as he looked at his student. "I guess you still want to release some stress, huh, Naruto," Kakashi said, receiving a nod from the blonde. "Alright, I'll take care of the ones on the right Zabuza, you take care of the ones in the middle and Naruto will go after the ones on the left, the first one to reach Gato will see what he does with him," said Kakashi. "Naturally I would tell you to shut up, but I like that idea," Zabuza said, while the blonde watched as his clones stood in front of the rest of the group that was not going to participate in the fight. Meanwhile, several of the bandits began to laugh upon hearing the silver-haired man's words.
"Ha, you see boss, they think they can take on all of us, isn't that funny" said one of the bandits standing next to Gato while swinging a sword, making Gato chuckle. "It's pathetic, but in the end, it doesn't matter," said the tyrant while smiling "But enough with the talk, kill them all and those who bring me the women can have fun with them later!!" Gatou shouted while all the criminals behind him screamed with excitement and began to run toward where the shinobi were.
The group of three said nothing, as the little man's words only gave the three shinobi another reason to rip the little man's head off and not leave any of his thugs alive. The group of three ninjas just looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes to nod. Zabuza quickly launched himself against an entire group of bandits, while Naruto and Kakashi followed behind him.
With Kakashi
Kakashi looked at his approaching opponents and dodged the blow of the first one who was going to attack him. He then sent a blow that sent him backward, colliding with the rest of the mercenaries. Then, Kakashi began to make signs with his hands.
" Earth style; Earth spikes," said the silver-haired man putting his hands on the ground, and then three spikes of earth emerged from the ground and attacked the group of mercenaries, who were unable to dodge the blow.
Generating screams of agony, Kakashi watched as he finished off about 10 mercenaries and then saw even more coming. ' I better move on to something with more power ' thought Hatake, who jumped into the air and began to use a pair of kunai which were coated by Raiton, soon Kakashi began to eliminate oy one of each mercenary that approached him. "AH" shouted another of the mercenaries after being pierced in the heart by Kakashi's kunai, who saw another group of about 15 Bandits approaching him, forcing him to perform hand seals. And the moment he finished drawing them, the jonin took a breath.
"Lighting style: twin lions," Kakashi said as his hands became covered in electricity and he pointed them forward. Two figures of electricity that resembled one-meter-tall lions shot out from the haired man's hands.
Which began to electrocute each of the bandits that were in front of them, soon the jutsu managed to finish off the group of 15, which made the Hatake the bodies of their victims for a second. "Alright, now continue..." Kakashi said as he watched Zabuza head towards another group of mercenaries, where he began cutting each of the bandits in half. "Well at least someone is having fun with all this," said the silver-haired man with a drop of sweat on the back of his neck.
However, his meditation was interrupted by a slash that a mercenary had thrown at him, Kakashi, which the Konoha jonin moved around with ease and then kicked the man in the face, sending him with another group of enemies who were trying to head toward where the red-haired clones were guarding Haku Tazuna and the rest of his students. The group soon fell and each of them was cut down by Kakashi. "I guess it can't be helped, alright, now who's next?" he said with a bored look, as he watched another group approach him. "I guess you guys," Hatake said as he charged at the group.
With Naruto
Naruto was advancing through the place while launching slashes with his mother's sword, decapitating and cutting in half any enemy that stood in front of him. In that he saw how a group of about 20 mercenaries was heading towards him, Naruto formed kunai with his ability and threw them managing to hit the first 5 of the group, while only two were able to dodge the blows, and Naruto began to make signs with his hands. "Lighting style" Electric Assasin," Naruto said launching a blast of electricity and hitting a good number of the group so that he quickly cut down the rest of the bandits with his sword.
As the blonde continued to knock down and kill his bandits, he used one of them as a support point to jump into the air and be able to see Gato, so deciding to end this he began to perform some hand seals. "Fire-style Sea of Flames said the Uzumaki as he landed on the ground to launch a large burst of fire against the bandits, leaving the path open to head toward the little tycoon and the culprit of this whole situation. For his part, Gatou was scared. A few moments ago he thought he had the numerical advantage, but the moment he saw the blonde who had managed to defeat the ninja he had hired approaching his place, he began to back away. Seeing that he still had 50 mercenaries in front of him, he decided that he could use them as a distraction, in case he had to flee the place.
"Finish off those damn useless people!!!" Gato shouted to a group of 20 men standing in front of him, who hesitated for a moment before heading towards where the jinchuriki was, while Gato began to back away to get out of the place. Naruto watched as another group of 20 approached with clear intentions of finishing him off. "Come on, it's just a fucking Gaki," shouted the one in front of the group. ' Didn't you see how I killed several of them without much effort ? ' the blonde questioned himself, but then he began to make other signs with his hands. "Well, I wanted to try this anyway," said the Jinchuriki, finishing the hand signs. "Fire style phoenix flower jutsu," said the blonde as he shot a spiral of flames from his mouth, with a phoenix head in the center, so that it would head towards the group of bandits who, when they sensed danger, it was too late. Since the jutsu burned the entire group. ' If I don't hurry, Gato could escape,' the Hanyou mused, then saw Gato begin to flee the place while sending the rest of his men with him. The Hanyou could notice about 20 or 30 mercenaries heading towards where he was.
So he quickly charged forward while using his speed he began to eliminate the enemies in front of him."Get ready to die, you damn monster," said one of the mercenaries, trying to show courage, but he was sweating coldly from seeing how this boy had finished off several of them. "You won't escape this time," said another of the bandits, being in the same situation as the first one.
"We will not be as confident as the rest of those useless people before," said another one, a little braver than the rest. "What are you fucking useless people doing!! Kill him!! I want that fucking brat dead, do it now you fucking useless people" shouted Gato to his men who didn't see how the man who hired them began to leave the place. "The boss is right, he can't take on all of us at the same time," said a more confident mercenary, while the group began to say similar things.
Naruto looked bored as he watched his opponents talk and do nothing, and Gato slowly walked away from the place. "Are they going to attack me, or are they just cowards who don't have the balls to act?" Naruto said with clear annoyance. He felt like he was wasting his time, but he saw how his words caused the criminals to attack him with blind fury.
"You'll see, you damn bastard," said one of the mercenaries, running as the group followed him. "Finally," said the Hanyou getting into position " Dance of the Lunar Goddess: Full Moon," said Naruto, he felt Cat, he felt a gust of wind and saw how the young hanyou disappeared and reappeared in his same place, then he saw his men stop abruptly. "What are you doing?!! Kill him or else-", Gato didn't finish launching his threat. When he saw how each of his men appeared with several wounds on their bodies, which allowed a gust of blood to come out of them, then showing how the heads, arms, torsos, and legs of the different mercenaries were detached from their places.
"What the fuck!!" Gato shouted, not believing what was happening, but he didn't have time to think about it when he got scared when he saw how the young jinchuriki was staring at him with a pair of blue eyes that had a yellow tint. Gato didn't think twice and tried to escape, but he made the worst mistake one can make when facing an enemy. Turning around, Gato realized this when the Hanyou appeared in front of him, surprising him. But what he missed the most was seeing the Uzumaki move his katana in front of him, only for Nami's tyrant to hear something fall to the ground, then look down, where he opened his eyes in horror, then screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH MY HAND!!!!!, YOU CUT OFF MY HAND YOU DAMN SON OF A BITCH!!!" shouted Gato, as his right hand had been cut off by Uzumaki's sword, the billionaire held the severed part while looking at the blonde. "You dare insult my mother," Naruto said in a deep voice, which scared Gato who barely managed to stand up and tried to flee, only for the Uzumaki to move his sword and cut off Gato's foot. "AAAAAAHHHH ENOUGH PLEASE!!!, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY!!!" Gato screamed between sobs as he tried to crawl away "Please have mercy, I beg you, stop, have mercy" begged the dwarf, who stopped when Naruto placed his foot on his back preventing the man from escaping.
Naruto was boiling with anger at how this excuse for a human was asking for such a thing. "Mercy?" the Uzumaki asked in a whisper. "How many were those who asked you for mercy before you killed them, how many women begged your men not to rape them before they were abused," said the Hanyou who began to crush Gato's back. Who howled in pain.
"How many families asked for mercy before you and your men destroyed them and burned their homes and now… you dare to ask for it after everything you've done" said the blonde in a dead tone while he took the small man by the neck and made him look into his yellowish-blue eyes. "There is no mercy for scum like you," Naruto said looking with disgust and repugnance at the small man "You should know that those who take the lives of other people must be prepared to take their own," said the Uzumaki, so Gato could see how Naruto's eyes went from white to black. Which scared him even more.
"You are… a monster," Gato barely managed to say those words, which fell on deaf ears on the part of the Uzumaki. "Your soul will be punished by Shinigami, repent in hell while they destroy your body over and over again for the rest of eternity," said the jinchuriki making Gato turn pale. The Uzumaki soon grabbed Nami's tyrant quite tightly and then threw the fat dwarf into the air a little while he began to perform a couple of hand seals.
"Fire style fire dragon," said Naruto as a giant fire dragon emerged from his mouth, heading towards Gato, the last thing he saw was the dragon's head. So that Gatou's scream could be heard throughout the place, which screamed for a couple of seconds before it disappeared, seeing this all the remaining mercenaries panicked and began to escape, since with Gato dead they had no reason to continue fighting.
To which Naruto sheathed his sword and put it back into his seal. "Let's just let them escape like that," Zabuza asked, covered in blood, to the silver-haired Jonin who was next to him, who took out his orange-covered book, which confused Zabuza. "I wouldn't worry about it," Kakashi said as he pointed in the direction the bandits were heading.
Where the swordsman saw how several people, who turned out to be Nami's civilians, took care of some bandits who were trying to flee, soon overwhelmed by the people carrying sticks, picks, metal bars, bears, etc., and several ended up surrendering. Both men saw how in front of all the people was a child, whom Kakashi managed to recognize as Tsunami's son, which made him smile when he saw how Inari approached Naruto and ruffled his hair. Then tell him a few words which Inari nodded, so that Naruto began to walk towards where he and Zabuza were.
Then they saw Haku, Sakura, and Tazuna approaching with a clone of Naruto dragging the unconscious Uchiha, which dissipated when it reached the group. Haku, seeing the state of the Kiri swordsman, became worried and approached him to check on him. "Calm down, Haku. I'm unharmed; this isn't my blood," said Zabuza, calming the ice user. And now, what are you going to do, Zabuza-san?" asked Kakashi, who was still reading his orange book, which annoyed Sakura and Haku.
"Are you not going to hand me over or kill me?" the swordsman questioned, to which the white-haireJoninin shrugged while continuing to read his book. "Naturally I would," the copy ninja said. "But given the conditions you were in and the reasons behind them, I don't see a reason to hand you over, at least not at the moment, it would be very troublesome," Kakashi said, looking over his book at the swordsman, who sighed somewhat relieved.
"In that case, I think I'll take some of Gato's fortune and return to Kiri to help the resistance with the civil war," said Zabuza surprising everyone with his decision, but then he looked at the blonde "Naruto-san I have a request to ask you," said the swordsman which caught the attention of the young jinchuriki. "What is it, Zabuza-san?" the blonde asked. The aforementioned looked at Haku for a few moments, causing a knot to form in the swordsman's neck, but he spoke anyway. "I want you to take Haku with you," said the ex-Kiri-Nin surprising the aforementioned as well as the blonde "B-but Zabuza-sama I…!" said Haku still surprised by the words of the traitor of the mist.
"Haku!" the swordsman said, silencing his apprentice. "This is not the life I want for you, Haku. Where I am going there will be nothing but conflict and death. I want you to have a place to rest without having one eye open every moment." Zabuza said as he looked at the ice user. And he placed a hand on her head. "You are a user of a Kekkei Genkai, Ice release of the Yuki clan, if you return to Kiri most likely the men who supported the blood purges will go after you", said Zabuza making his apprentice shudder slightly at those words "You are the closest thing to a daughter I have and no matter how bad a father I may seem I want you to be safe," said the swordsman.
Haku had a couple of tears in his eyes as he listened to the swordsman's words, who looked back at the blonde for his answer. "I accept, but only if it's what Haku-chan wants," said the Hanyou, looking at the girl, who wiped away her tears. "I'll go with you Naruto-kun" the now-identified member of the Yuki clan replied after a few seconds with a smile trusting in his father figure, while the blonde gave him one of his own.
"Great, when we get back, talk to Jiji so he can accommodate you as a Konoha Kunoichi," said the blonde. "I think you're forgetting one thing Naruto," Kakashi said as he turned the page in his book "And that is that when Sasuke recovers and sees Haku he's going to try to hurt her," he said while Haku and Sakura frowned. "While I can prevent that from happening on our return to the village, I cannot intervene if the civilians try to give it to Sasuke, since neither you nor I have legal authority over it."
"Don't worry about it Kakashi-nee" said the Uzumaki while the group laughed lightly at the nickname and made the silver-hairedman sigh "Since according to the Law of War if an enemy surrenders or hands himself over to a group or person, he automatically becomes a prisoner and the person or group to whom he surrendered will be legally responsible for him" said the red-haired man making the jonin remember that legal loophole.
"And since it is a law signed after the first great ninja war, neither the old mummies nor those of the civil council can do anything about it. This even makes it impossible for the Hokage to act on that matter," declared the Uzumaki, making Kakashi and Zabuza sigh, calming Haku.
"Wait, that means that since she is your prisoner, she will have to be with you to keep an eye on her," Sakura said, remembering something about the subject. So Haku-san will have to…" "Live with me," the blonde said to his partner. This statement made Haku blush heavily and begin to imagine very colorful scenarios, to say the least. Zabuza looked at the Uzumaki with annoyance and then grabbed him by the clothes.
"Gaki" Zabuza said in a hollow voice "If you dare to touch a hair of Haku I will find you and castrate you" the swordsman threatened the blonde while a death curse filtered out from the swordsman. Which caused Haku to have a deep blush on her face at what the person she considered a father to her just said.
"H-Hai" Naruto said with a drop of sweat seeing the swordsman's overprotective actions. With everything settled, everyone headed to Tazuna's house with the new guests and with the Uchiha still being dragged by the jinchuriki clone.
The rest of the day was spent with Naruto, Sakura, and Haku helping civilians injured while fighting the bandits, while Zabuza and Kakashi took those who needed more urgent help to the hospital. This place was one of the few that remained in operation because Gatou used it for his injured men, but this time, the doctors treated the civilians of Nami no Kuni.
Three days later
In those three days the city of Nami had not been in such a good mood in so long, the next day after Gato's death, his lair was raided which contained all the money that had been stolen from people for so long, of course they had to take care of the guards first, but it was a piece of cake for Naruto and a Zabuza, which did not end well for the guards.
After that, Zabuza was given a part to help Kiri in that war. Naruto searched and found certain documents, which made him smile, so he sealed them in one of his seals. In addition, when the people were informed that Gato had murdered the Daimio of the Wave to prevent him from asking for help from the rest of the Nations and intervening with their activities in Nami, it was decided that a new Daimio would be appointed in the following weeks.
Also, that same day Sasuke managed to recover from his wound, and the moment he saw Haku he tried to attack her which was stopped by Kakashi and Naruto, after explaining the situation to the emo he demanded that both Haku and Naruto be severely punished for laying a hand on him. This was denied by Kakashi saying that what Naruto did was the least he could expect by sacrificing a comrade in such a way as for Haku's position, according to the Law of War, Haku was under Naruto's protection, and not even the Hokage could interfere in this. This angered the Uchiha who was away from the group for the next few days.
On the second day, the entire village helped finish the bridge, and a huge party was held to celebrate Gato's downfall and Nami's return to prosperity. In addition to Haku getting along quite well with Tsunami and Sakura, Kakashi also got along quite well with Zabuza since they both shared a fondness for reading a certain brand of perverted books. This, of course, caused both Kakashi and Zabuza to earn large bumps on their heads courtesy of the women of the house.
When the third day arrived, Team 7 was getting ready to leave, when in Tsunami's room Naruto was with the woman while they said goodbye with a passionate kiss, when they both separated. "I wish you would stay a little longer," Tsunami said, her head resting on the blonde's chest. "I wish I could stay a little longer too, but I promise I'll come back for you," the Uzumaki said as he kissed the woman again. After getting ready the Konoha group along with Haku and Zabuza met on the bridge, where Zabuza was saying goodbye to Haku while she hugged him and he returned the hug, where Yuki had a couple of tears falling on her eyes.
"I don't want to say goodbye," Haku said looking at the swordsman who had a sad look on his face. "Me neither." Zabuza said as he parted from his adopted daughter "I'll miss you, Haku." said the renegade Kiri. "And I love you Tou-san," said Haku. "JE, I never thought someone would call me that way," Zabuza said as he separated from Haku and began his way to Kiri to support the resistance.
Haku was watching as the man who had cared for and raised her for several years left, which made her lower her head, then she felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up and saw Naruto smiling at her, which calmed her down a little. "Zabuza is a tough guy, I'm sure he'll be fine, he did this thinking about what was best for you," said Naruto while wiping away a tear.
"Thank you Naruto-kun," said the ice user and then bowed her head with the Uzumaki's palm. Sakura seeing this felt a slight pain in her chest which surprised her a lot and made her think. ' Why does it hurt so much? ' Haruno asked herself and then looked at the blonde and opened her eyes. ' So that's it, I'm falling in love with I'm' the pink-haired girl concluded.
At that point, the group saw a large crowd of people approaching, including Tazuna's family. Tazuna stood in front of the group and addressed them. "We just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for our village and that we're in doubt with Konoha," said Tazuna, as the entire group nodded. It was a pleasure to help," Kakashi said. We hope that relations with Nami and Konoha will be mutually beneficial in the future."
"Once a new Daimio is chosen, we will try to begin negotiations with Konoha as soon as possible," said Tazuna as everyone shouted praises at the Konoha group. Alright, Team 7, let's go," Kakashi said, making the entire Team 7 and Haku start walking and slowly disappear from the people of the village.
"And have you already thought of a name for the bridge?" Tsunami asked her father. "How about we call it Tazuna's Super Bridge?" said the construct, making everyone sweat drop. At that point, names began to be thrown around, some a bit exaggerated, others very absurd, and others that had nothing to do with it. At that point, Inari's lightbulb came on.
"How about the Great Naruto Bridge?" Inari said, drawing everyone's attention. "I think that's a great name," Tsunami said as everyone nodded at the idea.
"Alright, from now on this will be the great Naruto Bridge, in the name of the person who gave Nami hope again" Tazuna shouted as everyone cheered the name of the bridge in honor of their savior. Tsunami looks at the bridge and lightly touches the mark the blonde gave her. ' I hope to see you again soon, Naruto-kun,' the woman thought as she looked at where the blonde and his group had gone.
Four days later
The return to Konoha was anything but pleasant, as throughout the entire journey Naruto was tired and tempted to knock out the Uchiha again. This is because Sasuke didn't stop ranting that he should give him one of his techniques that he should apologize for hitting him open or that he should give him the ice girl so that he could have, according to him, the honor of serving an elite Uchiha, this of course was an excuse to get revenge on her.. When the first night arrived, the silver-haired jonin proceeded to give his two students their respective punishments, where Hatake gave Naruto that both he and Sasuke would have to carry out at least 5 D-rank missions each separately before their next official mission. To which Sasuke refused, but Kakashi quickly made him realize that what he was saying was not an option but an order, the Uzumaki decided not to argue and went to rest, but unfortunately it was not going to be that easy for him.
Sasuke went so far as to enact his vengeance on Haku during the night and probably would have succeeded if Naruto hadn't stayed up to guard her the entire night. Only for Sasuke to try it again and again after the first time though Sakura felt even more uneasy about the Uchiha. So much so that she began sleeping in Haku's tent so she could be close to Naruto, not knowing that her blonde teammate hadn't slept at all the entire trip back even with his clones Sasuke would try to put them in genjutsu. That was until Kakashi put a to that which Naruto appreciated but the Uchiha still tried to do it two more times.
At that, the group could see the gates of the leaf village, where the group eventually arrived at the registration place. As the whole group approached, they could see how the guards at the entrance, Izumo and Kotetsu, the eternal guardians of the gates of Konoha, were sleeping as always on the job. "This isn't a risk of infiltration for the village, how come the village hasn't been invaded yet?" Haku questioned upon seeing the peculiar chunnin duo. "Believe me, I've asked myself the same question every day," Kakashi and Naruto said at the same time, where the latter was seen to have an idea.
At that, Naruto reveals a seal on his arm and takes out the heads of the demon brothers which surprises the group, except Kakashi, who knew from the beginning that his student had finished the other brother after the interrogation Which only gave him the same fate as his brother. After he tried to kill Naruto when he didn't answer his question. "Why did you keep them, Naruto-kun?" the pink-haired girl asked, a little disgusted by the scene of seeing the two heads of the demon brothers. "Shinobi heads in the bingo book have their rewards in the Shinobi world," the blonde replied. "But they will also serve to ensure that these two are a little more attentive in their work," said the Uzumaki.
Then he dropped both heads of the demon brothers on the two chunnin who felt it and when they opened their eyes they jumped back. "No, please don't kill me, I have a family," Izumo said as he waved his hands vigorously. "No, please there are still so many things I haven't done, please have mercy," said Kotetsu imitating his partner, so that both men opened their eyes completely and looked at a certain blonde "Yo, we finally see you woken up, you know those heads look a lot like some "Yo Izumu-san Kotetsu-san, I see you've finally woken up, you know those heads look a lot like some bandits I managed to kill when you were asleep while working," said the blonde with a smile that intimidated the guards a little.
"Ah, well, thanks for the information Naruto-san," Izumo said with a pale face and some fear in his voice. "We'll be more careful next time," Kotetsu said while breaking out in a cold sweat, and then he and Haku signed in as the entire group headed to the Hokage tower to report on the mission. "That boy is really scary sometimes," Kotetsu said to his friend. "Yes, but we should be thankful that for now, it is a warning," said Izumo, managing to calm down after such a sudden scare.
With Team 7 and Haku
Kakashi chuckles "Don't you think you were a little exaggerated?" Haku said to the blonde. "Maybe, but at least this will keep them on their toes for a while," Naruto said with a smile, as he and his team headed to the Hokage's office to give them the details of the mission. And also of his new companion.
Konoha: Hokage Tower
Team 7 and Haku were in front of the Hokage, who was smoking his pipe while next to the leader of the leaf. When the silver-haired boy reported the Uchiha's actions, the latter tried to excuse himself by ranting that what he did was necessary for him to survive so he could continue the fight, this caused everyone to look at them with a frown, especially Sakura. But Hiruzen decided to leave it for the moment, after a while Kakashi finished giving his report. Where he also included the part of the sanctions of both Naruto and Sasuke.
"I see, very good job Kakashi," said Hiruzen taking a big drag of his pizza and blowing out all the smoke "Good job Team 7 you will be given payment for an A-Rank mission," said the Hokage looking at Sasuke and Naruto. "This week, Team 7 will not have any missions, since you two will have to fulfill the punishment that Kakashi imposed on you" declared the Sarutobi looking at the two mentioned making Naruto nod, while Sasuke let out a growl, but ended up nodding.
With that, the Leaf leader looked at the ice user. "You, Yuki-san, will have to be under surveillance and attend I&T interrogations for a whole month to see if it is viable for you to be part of the village," said Hiruzen making Haku nod. "But for the moment she will remain under Naruto-san's custody, for that entire period," said the Hokage as he watched a smile form on the ice user.
"Well if that is-" "Wait, what about that ice bitch!!" Sasuke shouted, causing everyone to look at him. "She must pay for what she did to me, I demand that she be handed over to me so that I can make sure she pays for her actions against me!!" the Uchiha shouted. "Genin Sasuke Uchiha," Hiruzen said as he sent a death glare to the boy who shuddered in fear "I have already determined what will happen to Haku-san, you better remember who is in charge of the village, otherwise you will be considered a traitor and your head will roll at my command, I AM CLEAR" Hiruzen said which earned him a shaky nod from the Uchiha. "With all that settled, Sakura-san Sasuke-san you may leave," Hiruzen looked at the three people he hadn't mentioned, "I have some matters to clarify with Naruto, Kakashi, and Haku," said the Hokage
Sakura hesitated a little not wanting to be alone with the uchiha something that made Kakashi frown knowing that she only trusted being with them. Naruto turned to see his pink-haired teammate look unsure of what to do. It was clear to him that she didn't want to be too far away from him. Giving her a soft smile, he pulled her into a gentle hug to reassure her that it would be fine. "If you need someone to talk to, I'll be at my apartment later. The key is behind the third loose board on the wall." He whispered to her, earning a nod in confirmation before she left the office.
Where both genins were already in the hallway the Uchiha sighed. ' Damn, she's going to ask me out with her again,' the raven-haired boy mentally growled in annoyance but was surprised when Sakura just left the place, seeing this Sasuke just shrugged and headed to one of the training fields to practice with his new eyes.
Back at the office, Naruto was looking at his grandfather figure with curiosity on his face. "What's wrong Jiji?" the blonde asked. "There are just two things, the first is to warn you that you will no longer be able to live in your apartment," said the Sarutobi, which surprised the Hanyou, the silver-haired man, and the Yuki "Since Haku-san injured Sasuke on the mission and being a Kekkei Genkai user, the civilians will try to give it to Sasuke by any means they see fit, whether legal or not, even if it is under the Law of War," said Hiruzen. "And I don't want to imagine that," said Hiruzen making Haku just clench her fist in anger at what it all implied, but she calmed down when she felt Naruto take her hand.
Kakashi just sighed at the lack of decency of both his student and the attitude of the civilians "That brings us to the next matter," said the Third Hokage, bringing the entire group out of their thoughts, then taking out of one of his drawers about 6 scrolls, three of which were blue, two red, and one green, so that he could then hand them to the jinchuriki. On the first three, which were blue, was written a name that he hated with all his might.
Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage's surname was written on a blue scroll and a red one, just reading that name Naruto had to suppress a growl of disgust, but looking at the label on the other three the blonde's fury dissipated almost immediately. Uzumaki, his mother's last name was written on the other two blue and red scrolls, but when he looked at the green scroll he felt as if the whole world had stopped, Kushina Uzumaki, his mother's name was written on the label green scroll, so the blonde quickly looked at Sarutobi.
"The blue ones are the deeds to the Namikaze Senju and Uzumaki clan lands, and the red ones contain the bank accounts i already had everything sorted and the Namikaze and Senju are together, the green ones were a gift your mother asked me to hold on until you were ready." Hiruzen said Naruto started at the green scrolls as he wondered what his mother had left him."But I thought you would need a little more time for the accounts," said the Uzumaki, somewhat bewildered. "Didn't you say they were the most precious thing that the bastards of the civil council were looking for?" asked the Uzumaki.
"Yes, but let's say I have my methods," Hiruzen said, smiling. Wanting to see what face the members of the civil council would make when they saw that they would never be able to get their claws into the funds in those accounts and that by giving his inheritance to his substitute grandson, the paperwork of the civilians demanding this would cease. Given this perspective, it was a double victory for the Sarutobi, who watched as Naruto sealed the scrolls in the arm seals.
"There's one more thing you should keep in mind Naruto-kun," said the Hokage getting the hanyou's attention. "The moment your position as a member of the Senju, Namikaze, and Uzumaki clans is revealed you will have additional protection for yourself and haku let's not forget about Tsubaki. If those of the council try anything they could be considered traitors for threatening the integrity of a clan, but first I must do something and I think you know what it is…" Hiruzen took a serious face. "Yes course, Jiji Kakashi-nee had already told me." replied the Jinchuriki.
"Cat," said Hiruzen, and the anbu appeared "Bring me Anko MItarashi," said the Hokage, and with a nod from the anbu he disappeared from the place. After a few minutes, the door opens again to show Yugao along with the snake tamer, who upon seeing Naruto jumped on him to begin giving him a passionate kiss. This of course made Cat (Yugao) shake her head as did Hiruzen, while Kakashi almost dropped his book at such a scene and finally Haku looked somewhat depressed thinking that the Blonde was already in a relationship with someone else.
"Ahem. Anko could you please leave that for another time" said the Hiruzen "Or at least wait until both of you are at home or in a more private place" said the Sarutobi with a serious face, but the Uzumaki could see a slight trail of blood running down the nose of his grandfatherly figure. ' It seems that Jiji hasn't changed,' the Uzumaki thought at the Hokage's perverted attitude, while he could feel Anko pressing her body, more specifically her breasts against his face.
"I'm not sure if I can hold out for so long, Hokage-sama," Mitarashi said as she began to run her hands over Uzumaki's body. "I'm tempted to ask him for his seat and desk for a couple of hours," the snake tamer said. This caused both Kakashi and Hiruzen to have a severe nosebleed, while both Haku and Yugao blushed furiously, although, in Yugao's case, her mask managed to cover it.
"Jokes aside," Hiruzen said recovering from that blow "Haku you will be interrogated by your Anko for a whole month to see if you can join the village," the Hokage said, which made Anko start looking Yuki up and down. "MMMMMM we are going to get along very well, Haku-chan," said Anko with a look that made a shiver go up the ice user's sword.
"Moving on to the next thing," the Hokage said, looking at his surrogate grandson, "Naruto, there will be a council meeting in two days to see if you are to be placed in the CRA," the Sarutobi said, causing everyone to fall silent. "I understand Hokage-sama," the Blonde said in a serious voice breaking the silence in the room, no one noticed how Haku seemed a little more cheerful. ' That means I can… ' thought the ice user with a slight blush.
"Well with all that cleared up you two can leave, Kakashi I need to clear some things up with you," said the third Hokage making Anko disappear in a flash to return to her work in I&T. Haku and Naruto bowed to Hiruzen and left the office, but when the Uzumaki was about to leave, he stopped. "AH I forgot to ask something," said Naruto making the whole group look at the Blonde "Hokage-sama, do you think there was a problem that I can carry out the punishment missions with my clones" said Naruto making everyone look at Hiruzen. He seemed to think about it for a few moments and then shrugged his shoulders. "I don't see why not" Hiruzen said which made the Uzumaki smile and leave the Hokage's office with Haku, a few moments later Neko returned to her position.
Which left only the silver-haired man and the Hokage, where the latter saw how the jonin of team 7 continued reading his book. The Hokage took another drag from his pipe and signaled for his anbu to leave the room, and then Hiruzen activated a privacy seal on the room. "Now Kakashi I need the detailed report of everything that happened with the mission," he said, Kakashi just nodded putting away his book, and began to tell every detail that he left out in his main report since these were slightly more delicate topics.
Kakashi told him about the Kenjutus style Naruto used in his fight against Zabuza. Naruto and Sakura's training and their reasons for doing so, also Sasuke's assassination attempts against Haku upon his return to Konoha, etc.
Hiruzen only took a puff of smoke and looked at the silver-haired man. "Good job Kakashi, you may leave," he said and then watched as the jonin left. Hiruzen was left thinking about everything that had happened as he stood up and looked at the village through the window. ' This is going to be a problem ' the Hokage thought as he returned to his seat and continued with his paperwork, the only thing that reassured the Hokage was that now the boy he saw as a grandson could at least have a more comfortable life than he could give him in the past. "I hope this is at least enough for him," Hiruzen said in a whisper as he deactivated the privacy seal and his Anbus returned to their place.
