ancient threat more terrifying than the Akatsuki which only stirs thought of myths from a lost and forgotten age but before we start remember to subscribe and like this video now let's start why would you help a demon it killed your parents didn't it it only thinks about itself how it can get stronger how it can get revenge Mizuki said while he looked at aruca lay bleeding on the forest floor Naruto was behind a tree at the tree line trying to stay as quiet as possible he still couldn't fathom what Mizuki Sensei had said I am the fox I'm the kyubi no Yoko I can't be can I it made more and more sense when he thought about it that was why all the villagers hated him that was why no one cared for him that was why he didn't have parents you were right that's how the fox would be aruca said Naruto tried hard not to cry out loud even aruca agreed the only person other than the sandam Hokage who actually cared for him the one he thought was like a father or maybe a brother thought he was a demon but that is not who Uzumaki Naruto is he is one of the most caring person I know and he just wants to be acknowledged he may have that damned Fox sealed inside him but that doesn't make him the fox more than a ceiling scroll makes it what is sealed inside it he is my student and more than that he is a person I care a great deal about he is like family to me I won't let you hurt him Naruto was smiling and not just a little smile it was an ear to ear sun shining out of your mouth your chin is hurting smile he had someone who thought him as family then his face turned serious aruka Sensei his big brother figure his precious person was going to get hurt Naruto ran out from his hiding spot just to see Mizuki throw his fuma shuriken Naruto ran as fast as he could but he wasn't fast enough he could see it get closer and closer to aruka Sensei Naruto ran and ran but he wasn't fast enough it was three meters from aruka now he wouldn't make it he wasn't fast enough to protect the first person to really acknowledge Him no Naruto yelled with all his might his arm reaching out for aruka the Earth began to quake and a big cluster of pink crystals grew out of the ground blocking the shuriken that left two Academy instructors and students speechless and stunned Naruto snapped out of it first turning to face Mizuki with the most serious look he had ever given he pointed at him I won't let you hurt aruka Sensei not now not ever he put his hand in front of him weaving a hand seal Crossing his index and middle fingers to Jew cage bunch and nojutsu a big cloud of smoke exploded in the forest When the Smoke cleared Mizuki and aruka couldn't believe what they were seeing over a thousand orange clothed Narutos were standing in the clearing in the surrounding trees as one they charged towards Mizuki not now not ever screams could be heard all over konoha as the now traitorous konahanan was beaten by a 12 year old Academy student two minutes later sari uruka Sensei I think I may have gone a bit overboard the blonde said with his trademark smile while scratching the back of his head eruka stood dumbfounded while staring at Naruto he turned it into a smile I think I can Overlook it this once he turned his head to look at the discolored formation of meat that was Mizuki lying on the forest floor he then turned his gaze a bit to look at the big Crystal formation what was that he turned his gaze back on Naruto who was still grinning close your eyes Naruto Naruto just stared back at him why aruka rolled his eyes just do it Naruto a few minutes later arukasan say are you done soon can I open my eyes already Naruto asked in an annoyed tone just a minute aruka chuckled there now open your eyes Naruto did as he was told there right in front of him was uruka Sensei smiling at him but something was off something was missing it took Naruto a few seconds to figure out he didn't have hitayateon Naruto's hand slowly made its way to his forehead yay I did it I'm a ninja of konoha I'm going to be Hokage in no time believe it maruto began ranting but aruka's thoughts were miles away though those crystals did Naruto make them how did he do that does he have a Keke jenke if it is it's not one I have ever seen or heard of before I guess it is possible he could have won since no one knows who his parents are I better report to sandam soon he would want to know this anyo aruca Sensei aruka's Focus snapped back at Naruto Sensei is it true about the fox aruka smiled sadly I'm afraid it is Naruto looked down on the ground he mumbled something inaudible what am I the fox then Naruto asked with tears in his eyes aruka placed his hand on Naruto's head and ruffled his hair didn't you hear me back there you are no more the fox than a ceiling scroll as the Kanai sealed inside it did you mean the other thing too Naruto asked carefully what other he looked at the blonde before displaying a large smile yeah I meant it little brother Naruto looked up at aruca again with a smile wider than when he had gotten his hit ayate before aruka knew it he was tackled by the little blonde hugging him tightly while sniffling in the hokage's office the sandam had seen it all through his magic little crystal ball to think Mizuki would betray The Village like that I knew he had some grudges but to think he would go this far he looked at the crystal ball seeing his grandson in spirit hugging the academy instructor at least something good came out of this whole ordeal he have finally found someone else than me that he knows acknowledges him then he frowned but what was those pink crystals I have never seen anything like it I'll ask jariah about it next time he comes to report in he may know something about monado or kashina that I don't he looked at the crystal ball again the two Kona has Shinobi were walking out of the forest hand in hand the smaller figure jumping up and down while the bigger looked down on him with a smile on his lips Harrison leaned back into his chair looking up at the ceiling ah I guess I better call back the search parties so they don't drag him off the street and with that thought Harrison made his way out of his office the next morning with Naruto Naruto yawned loudly as he sat up in his bed he didn't really know what to do the next few days but train it was not like he had any friends to hang out with sure choji and Shikamaru didn't hate his guts but that was about it there was still six days left till the new teams got assigned he didn't really care that much about who he got teamed up with just not from the sauce Academy please let it be anyone but SAS Academy and he wouldn't mind if he got teamed up with sakurakan though I could imagine she would have a problem with that he frowned at that thought well better get up and get going he said to himself jumping off the bed and heading for the bathroom he had just opened that newly made instant Ramen when an anbu appeared in front of him Naruto froze the instant he saw the Ambu what have I done this time I haven't done any pranks since I painted over the Hokage Monument right after that it was the test and then the whole thing with mizukite me calm down uzumaki-san you haven't done anything this time he waited a second while giving Naruto a look it felt like that anyway Hoka jasama has summoned you you should be there within the next hour the Ambu said and shun shined away before Naruto could respond well it's not like I have anything else I have to do today I wonder what Gigi wants he wondered while slurping the noodles in him three bowls in another toilet visit and he was on his way to the Hokage Tower Naruto walked down the hallway where you could enter the hokage's office from as he walked past the receptionist he got a dark glare the blonde ignored it like all the other glares he knocked on the door and heard a quick enter before turning the doorknob ah Naruto thank you for coming so quickly we have a few things to talk about Naruto looked around the room while his grandfather figure talked there was three shinobis standing in front of him the two first he recognized right away sendayamajigi and aruka Sensei the last one not so much on first eyesight Naruto could see he was old not as old as Gigi but at least up in his 50s he had long white hair and some red war paint running down his face from his eyes to his chin he had a hit ayate with the kanji for oil on it Torah Uma please leave the office I think we can defend ourselves against a twelve-year-old genin the Hokage said two anbu appeared from the Shadows before shun shining away now Naruto why don't you take a seat and explain us what happened yesterday herizin said gesturing towards a chair Naruto went over to the chair and sat down he turned towards aruka for reassurance that he wasn't in any trouble the scarred shunan just smiled and nodded back at him that was all Naruto needed as he began rambling about what had happened all from the way he had painted to Hokage Monument to how Mizuki had come to him after the exam to the battle in the forest and then I ran towards aruka Sensei trying to reach him before the fuma shuriken hit him but I couldn't make it I wasn't fast enough and then Naruto trailed off while looking up on aruka with a confused and pleading look and then the Earth began to quake and crystals grew out of the earth deflecting the shuriken away Veruca finished Naruto looked around for the reactions Sendai mejiji and the white-haired guy didn't show any they had calm collected faces I see please continue Naruto the sandam said calmly Naruto continued his story to the point where he had used a kinjutsu and to where he got his hitayate and the Raman aruka Sensei had bought for him afterwards when Naruto was finished the room was quiet for a minute or two Naruto was looking carefully at the three Shinobi in the room jariah do you have any idea what those crystals may have been the sand Dame asked Jiraiya looked at Naruto taking in everything he saw Gods he looks so much like monado but from what I've heard he has inherited kashina's fiery personality I may know I heard a rumor a while back I had just set out on my journey the nations were still recovering from the third Great War and everyone wore their nerves on the outside of their clothes I heard that a whole village up in tanokuni had been destroyed by a single Jutsu now that alone isn't something to raise eyebrows over it was the Jutsu in question that was used that was where are you going with this jirayasama aruka asked in a mild annoyed tone he had already concluded that it was Naruto who had made those crystals but he didn't know why or how or if it was dangerous in any way everything for its own time Jiraiya said looking calmly at aruka who was glaring lightly back at him apparently it was destroyed by crystals now these crystals just grew out of nowhere they encased people and plants alike no one knew how jariah continued he looked around on the small group it later got the name shoten aruka's eyes bulged out of their sockets while he had expected something like that it was still a bit of a shock Naruto just looked confused at jariah I thought the same thing there's only one way to find out the sandame said while going through his drawers he pulled out a little piece of paper and handed it to Naruto please run your chakra through this Naruto looked questioning at the Hokage for a moment before complying when he did the paper split into two where after each piece turned dark brown before crumbling now Naruto looked even more confused a what just happened Gigi Naruto looked at the Hokage well Naruto it looks like you have a Keke jenke the old Hokage replied calmly a what maruto asked looking more confused than ever after 20 minutes of the older Shinobi trying to explain the basics of Elemental manipulation and Keke jenke the blonde finally got it somewhat but how I mean wait you said this this Keke jenke is genetic right the old Hokage looked at Naruto knowing where this was going yes it is do you think maybe rest was mumbling as he turned his head down sari Naruto you will have to speak up I'm not as young as I have been the old Hokage said to Naruto with a kind smile do you think this will help me finding out who my parents were we just have to find someone who had the same abilities as me and they must have been my family right Naruto asked hopefully the old man looked sad at Naruto I don't think that's possible it is true that shotton is a Keke jenke but it isn't bound to a family as let's say the Bakugan is I wish I could tell you who you parents were you just have to be a bit stronger before I can tell you monado and kashina had some powerful enemies just hold on a bit longer you will know soon enough Naruto's mood dropped a second but he came right up again smiling I guess I'll just have to find another way then the older Shinobi smiled at that there were very few in this world similar to Naruto the sand aim then caught the glance he was getting from aruka he sighed deeply he didn't know how Naruto would react Naruto he said gently he got the attention of the blue eyed blonde about the kyubi are you okay Naruto's smiled faltered slightly but he was still smiling yeah I guess I'm I'm kind of relieved the sandam Hokage eyed him relieved yeah I finally understand why why all the villagers hate me so much why I'm getting all those looks guess I'll just have to work harder on getting them to acknowledge me despite that damned eruka was smiling at his student he was proud at how well he was handling it he wasn't sure he could have done it well as him that's good to hear Naruto don't let it get you down if you have any problems no matter whom or what it is you just come to me my door is always open that got Naruto to grin while putting his hand behind his head thanks aruka sensei well it's good that that settled now Naruto we don't know how this shot and works so please don't use any chakra before we have taken a look at how it's used the old Hokage said with a serious undertone Naruto nodded the sand aim then turned to jariah jaraya meet with me in Naruto tomorrow at training ground 43 at noon hi good the sand aim turned to the blonde Naruto I know I know tomorrow at training ground 43 at noon don't use chakra until then can I go now Naruto asked eagerly now having spent almost two hours in the room he was getting restless the sand Dame chuckled yes you can go you're dismissed and then the blonde Shinobi dashed out of the office the Hokage then turned towards aruka you're dismissed to aruka aruka nodded and made his way to the door halfway there he turned to face the Hokage do you think he will be okay the sand Dame looked up at aruca with a smile you really do care about him don't you aruka nodded with a smile I think he will be fine he has gotten some answers today that should help him some hi aruka said before continuing walking towards the office door just as he was about to close the door the old Hokage called him out aruka take care of him aruka just smiled at the Hokage hi the following day a training ground 43 Naruto in the sand Dame were talking as there were still a few minutes until they should meet with jariah Harrison turned towards Naruto and took a good look at him he still wore that bright orange jumpsuit Naruto don't you think it's time you soon bought some new clothes Naruto looked outrageous at the Hokage at that question why what is wrong with my clothes he asked while looking down tucking on his clothes a bit well you're ninja now and ninjas can't really go around with bright colors so the enemy will spot them faster can they I guess you have some point Naruto grumbled but what am I supposed to do I can't really go into a regular clothing store since they won't sell me anything and the few places that will triple or quadruple the prices as soon as I enter here is in frowned at that Naruto had a good point he would have to talk to the boy's new junin instructor about that maybe he could help him a puff of smoke appeared in front of them glad to see you could make it jariah Harrison said to his former student I hope I'm not late no you just made it well let's get to it the two Elder Shinobi turned towards Naruto now the reason we're here is because we need to make sure you're shot and isn't dangerous the Hokage said why would it be dangerous the orange clad jennin asked it was jariah who answered Well normally with Jutsu the greater the power the greater are the risks we want to make sure you don't hurt yourself Naruto didn't seem convinced but complied jariah nodded at Harrison good then Naruto can you tell me how you did it in the forest I don't really know I just tried everything to save Veruca Sensei I was desperate and was willing to do anything to save him I had my arm put out like this Naruto said while showing what he had done as before the Earth began to quake and pink crystals appeared out of the ground both jariah and hirazan were wide-eyed while hirazin had seen it through his crystal ball it was another thing to see it happen with your own eyes how did you do it Jiraiya asked I I don't know I just put channeled some chakra while thinking of the crystals from yesterday Naruto answered Jiraiya thought about that for a bit he then got an expression like he had an idea try to think of it shattering Naruto did what he said and to his amazement the crystal shattered in tiny pieces making the air glitter lightly in pink amazing was all Jiraiya could say Harrison looked at jariah what are you thinking I think it's controlled by his thoughts he has to channel the chakra to make it but he just had to think of what he wants and it's going to do it it will probably not work on higher level Jutsu but I on the lower I would say d and crank Jutsu he just has to think of it here isn't nodded while looking at Naruto Okay Naruto try to make next morning in Naruto's apartment Naruto yawned loudly while stretching he took a few minutes sitting in bed and waking up before making his way to the bathroom while he was taking a bath he was thinking about what happened yesterday they had discovered a lot about his shotgun it is a combination of foot and endoden as the chakra paper had said jaraya had theorized that he used Odin to find minerals and stuff like that while he used futon to compress it under high pressure successfully making crystals he could crystallize anything they put him to earth wood water grass really anything that had mass and wasn't energy he could even crystallize living things as they had discovered when he accidentally crystallized a bug it was really like having a weapon on hand all the time Jiraiya had also told him about the secrets of cage Bundchen halfway through the day so he had made about a hundred clones putting them to learning his shot in thus why he already had such control over it jaraya said he was the only one who could train this way due to him having such a large chakra Reserves when they were about to leave Harrison had pulled him aside and asked him to go to the library today Naruto wasn't really a reader and had complained loudly about it but as Harrison said if you want to be a ninja in the Hokage nonetheless you need to have knowledge about the world if not people will just use you that had made Naruto promise that he would do it he also planned to go find a store who would sell him a new outfit though he didn't know if he would be successful Naruto ate his breakfast and brushed his teeth before making his way out the door scram demon and don't come back Naruto sighed as he was kicked out of another store walking off Naruto tried to think of a way to get into a store he could use henge but it would dispel as soon as someone touched him and he couldn't just use the I'm a ninja under the direct command of the Hokage deal it would only work on buildings owned by the government like the library not private owned stores he sighed deeply again looking around the blonde found a store that looked fairly non-descriptive the only sign that told him it was for Shinobi was the rather large Kanai symbol above the door and the sign that read higarashi weapon shop deciding to give this place a try Naruto walked in looking around the first thing Naruto noticed was that whoever owned this place had an obvious love for weapons there were racks upon racks of weapons lining the entire shop swords staffs sides it seemed that anything anyone could name was there he had never seen so many different weapons in one place ever and some of these weapons he had never seen at all it was enough to make even someone like Naruto who knew next to nothing about weapons drool can I help you Naruto stiffened and almost shouted as he spun around behind him was a young girl that was maybe a year older than him wearing a chinese-style pink tank top dark green cargo pants and had her hair done up in two buns to Naruto they made her kind of look like a panda or a mouse Naruto did his best not to Snicker at the thought hello tenton asked while waving her hand in front of Naruto's face he blinked a couple of times um what Naruto said blushing and embarrassment as he took a step back and put a hand behind his head the girl just looked at him before she rolled her eyes at the kids in attentiveness and Shrugged I was asking if you needed help finding anything ERM Naruto blinked in surprise you work here that's right the girl said my name is higarashi Tenten my father owns this store so I come in and help when I'm not on missions Diora Shinobi then Naruto asked curiously yep I've been a Shinobi for about a year now tenton replied that's awesome Naruto stated with a large grin I just graduated he blinked as he remembered why he was here you know you can help me I was looking into getting some new clothes I can see why tenton said with an amused smirk your clothes are hideous hey Naruto said feeling the need to defend his clothes these clothes are warm and comfortable in ugly tent and finish with a grin seriously who wears Orange I like orange Naruto shouted indignantly seriously what was it with people continuing to diss on the color orange it was the best color in the world it's my favorite color even so it's not a very good color for a ninja tenton replied finding the boy's defensiveness amusing especially when it's so bright he took a deep breath to calm down a bit I guess I can see the logic in that anyways can you help me sure tenton replied amused by Naruto's reaction she took him over to the clothing section of the store so what are you looking for exactly she asked Naruto thought about what he wanted to look like he needed something that made him look cool and added a mysterious Persona to him something that screamed powerful and awesome something do you know I'm not sure he said sheepishly I've never really shopped for clothes before so he had actually tried clothes shopping once when he was six and had just got in an apartment however the store owners had kicked him out before he could actually shop that had actually been the same day he found his jumpsuits in the trash after the same store he tried to shop from had thrown them away you're kidding right tenton looked at him incredulously when he shook his head she sighed then it looks like we're just going to have to see what works she pulled him over to the clothing section of the store where she began grabbing different styles of clothes and then making him change into many styles she gave him essentially turning him into a life-size dress-up doll eventually she found a style that fit now Naruto was wearing dark black Shinobi pants that tucked into a pair of black Shinobi sandals he had a black sleeveless Chinese style shirt like hers but with a dark orange Trims and with the Uzumaki swirl on the back of it she had tried to talk him out of wearing any orange but was unsuccessful in getting the blonde to completely rid himself of his favorite color at least there was less orange than before and it was in a darker tone than his jumpsuit had been his hands were covered in fingerless gloves and his arms were also covered in Black bandages up to his biceps lastly she changed the strap of his hitayate from the dark blue color to Black there you look much better now tenton said smiling at him indeed he did look much better now that she was seeing him without all the orange he actually looked cute now you're like a real Shinobi do you think so Naruto blushed as he scratched the back of his head of course so will that be all tenton asked yes I think so for now anyway he responded with a smile tenton are you out front both Naruto and Tenten yelled as they spun around Naruto found himself staring at a bull of man large and built like brick the man had muscles on every part of his body that Naruto could see he even had muscles on his muscles he had brown hair and brown eyes much like tenton he was wearing an off-white shirt brown pants and a pair of brown boots damn it Tucson tenton shouted as she clutched a hand to her chest how many times have I told you not to sneak up on me and especially when I'm with a customer 1010's dad merely laughed I'll take it easy tendon beside aren't you Shinobi supposed to be more aware of your surroundings do you want to be used as target practice again Tenten asked with a maniacal gleam in her eyes and had one of her hands inside her Kanai pouch her dad merely sweats dropped before he coughed and turned his attention to Naruto he looked him up and down immediately recognizing him that didn't matter to him he wasn't as narrow sighted as some of the other villagers he worked with sealing Scrolls on a daily basis he knew that the boy in front of him wasn't the demon and if he had been he would probably already have destroyed the village with the way some treated him Naruto watched with a mixture of shock and weariness as the man looked him over he was already expecting to get thrown out no one wanted to sell that demon brat anything but 1010's Dad just smiled at him walking over to the cash register typing in all that his daughter had noted on a block now all that stuff you got there will come to around 5000 Yen tenten's dad said Naruto cringed a bit but got out the necessary money it would put him back by a lot especially since he would no longer be able to gain a stipend from the Hokage since he was a ninja but this was for his shinoba career so he had to he took out his frog-shaped green wallet much to the amusement of tenton and put the money on the table thank you kid hope you'll come back 1010's dad said to Naruto while counting the money Naruto had left he gave the two there one of his most Brilliant Smiles thanks mister Cato the man replied thanks katosan Naruto bowed before grabbing his equipment and running off with a grin I'll make sure your store becomes famous when it's selling to me is the Hokage he yelled out as he left for the library Naruto was standing outside a big building a building he had never thought he would set foot in the library he sighed deeply and made his way through the front doors he hadn't made his way in more than a few meters when a voice called out behind him can I help why what do you want I'm sorry but you will have to leave now Naruto turned around to see who it was it turned out to be the custodian a woman who looked to be in her mid-50s said spitting out the word boy with Venom Naruto remembered what hirazan had said to him the day before Naruto tapped his finger on his hitayate I am a ninja of kona under the command of the direct command of the Hokage and can I remind you that this is a government-owned building and who again runs the government that's right the Hokage does thus you can't kick me out of here the custodian was clearly irritated by this but as Naruto had pointed out she couldn't kick him out she sighed fine but if you break anything you will be sorry she said and walked away Naruto snorted mentally at this since he was told about the kyubi he had been near stunned by the naivety of the population of kona one thing was the civilians who knew nothing of sealing but the ninja population too they used ceiling on a daily basis he shook it off him and made his way to the Shinobi section of the library when he was there he put his hands in a ram seal making 10 clones all right guys I need your help finding some books anything on chakra seals taijutsu and basic Shinobi skills will be fine also try to find something on Bijou jinchiriki and anything related with that said he and his clones looked through the bookshelves looking for said books in the end he found 27 on the various subjects he made his way home and began to read three days later Naruto was on his way to training ground 43. Gigi had given it to train the week before the team assignments which was still two days away the sand aim had said it was because he needed to get his shot in under control before getting on a team so he wouldn't put them or himself in danger with it he made his way to the training field and did what he had done the last few days he put his hand to form the ram seal and made about 100 clones and split them up to do various tasks 50 clones were working on his shotgun which were coming along nicely he had learned to crystallize stuff fast and could even make crystals from the humidity in the air he had also made quite a few new Jutsu most of the based on Jutsu of other elements it wasn't as hard as he had thought it to be he would just have to think about something crystallizing and it would the next 25 were working on his chakra control he had perfected The Floating Leaf exercise that they had learned in the academy and were now slowly making progress on the tree climbing exercise he could run up the tree by now and could walk about two quarters of the way he had decided that he wouldn't move on before he could fight on a vertical surface for about 10 minutes and the last quarter we're reading reading anything he could get his hands on most of the Jutsu and exercises were from the books he had learned a lot about Bijou one of the subjects he was most interested in for obvious reasons he continued training the next few days until the team assignments the day of the team assignments the alarm clock ringed High Naruto almost fell out of his bed trying to punch the stupid thing into Oblivion when he finally managed to turn of the stupid thing he sat up scratching his eyes and looked around with sleepy eyes he saw the calendar and within a second he was wide awake today I get my team assignment he jumped out of the bed and made his way to the bathroom to wash up and brush teeth he thought about what he had done the last week he had Advanced rather quickly due to the cage Bundchen he had done almost two years of training in the last week he now had decent control over shoten but it could still be improved his chakra control were a ton better he could no fight on the tree surface for about four minutes before he fell off and he had read he was surprised how much it had mattered he could actually understand what people were saying most of the time now nothing like when the week started overall he had improved a lot though he still needed to be careful the third day he had dispelled all his clones at once and had fainted from fatigue alone he had woken up an hour later with a throbbing headache he wasn't do that again and had the following days dispelled his clones in groups of ten with a few minutes interval he had also met Kona hamaru The Honorable grandson of the sandam Hokage and his teacher ebisu who hated his guts he had met Kona hamaru when he had turned in his ninja registration form Kona hamaru had come to challenge the sand aim for the title of Hokage but had tripped over his own scarf halfway across the room it had been fun to see the reaction of his teacher when he slammed him across the head after he learned who he was Kona hamaru had followed him later asking him to teach him Naruto had complied and taught him henge no Jutsu and oirok no Jutsu later ebisu had come saying he didn't want Naruto to teach Konohamaru couldn't figure out why but Naruto knew right away when he saw the eyes of ebisu it was the same as most of the villagers full of hate towards him for something he had no control over whatsoever he had beaten him with his new haremu no Jutsu sending him flying halfway across konoha because of his nosebleed he had after told Kona hamaru that there was no shortcut to becoming the Hokage and that he had to beat him to get there Konohamaru told him that they weren't student and teacher anymore they were Rivals he had left after that after he was done in the bathroom he made his breakfast which was made up of bread and various vegetables Naruto had read that he needed to eat better if he wanted to grow Naruto was still the shortest from his class which annoyed him to no end he was sitting and eating looking across the room he saw the new picture he had put up the day before it was his picture for the ninja registration he had asked hirazen if he could get a copy of it to hang up and was allowed he was in the picture of course and stood with an angel to the camera with his hand back down towards the ground pointing slightly towards it from his hand to the corner of the picture and across the top the air was glimmering slightly pink clear evidence of his shotgun it had taken some persuasion on his part but the Hokage had finally said yes he was quite proud of it clear evidence of his Shinobi status after he was done with his breakfast he bolted out the door and made his way to the academy today I'm going to get a team I am officially going to be a genon a ninja of kona it's the first step on the way to become the Hokage Naruto made his way towards the academy ignoring the usual stairs and glares it didn't really bother him anymore he had gotten used to it over the years the only difference the last week was that he knew why he was getting them that helped a lot it was a burden lifted from his shoulders he didn't have to wonder why as he walked down one of the alleys when he saw someone trying to blend in with the railing behind him using a sheet as cover the only problem was that it was hanging 90 degrees wrong he knew right away who it was before he could call him out Konohamaru jumped out from his cover yelling at him fight me sadly he hadn't even taken one step before he tripped over the sheet Naruto sweat dropped what are you doing Kona hamaru I expect nothing less from the man I respect Konohamaru said getting up Naruto was silent for a few seconds I didn't do anything you tripped again totally ignored this and got up making a hand sign fight me fair and square Naruto shook his head sorry Konohamaru I have to go to my team assignment meeting now team assignment the boy asked confused yeah I'm a ninja of konoha starting today he said smiling pointing at his hitayate Konohamaru stared in awe he smiled at his big brother figure okay Nissan I guess we'll have to do it another day then and with that the two boys went on their way Naruto made it to the academy a little earlier than normal heck normally he would have met at least an hour late since none of the teachers really bothered with him but that wasn't on his mind today today was the first day in the rest of his life the first step towards becoming the Hokage nothing could bring him down if he was honest with himself he didn't care much about which team he was assigned just not sauce Academy he is way too Broody for me and I wouldn't mind getting on the same team as Sakura Chan though I could image her having a problem with me I guess I'll do what tenton told me to flashback three days ago Naruto was walking down one of kona's many streets with Tenten since the day he had come her father's store they had become friends well Naruto's first real friend at his own age Shikamaru and Shoji didn't hate his guts but they weren't close either so have you gotten your team assignment yet tenton asked Naruto shook his head nah we're getting them in three days if I'm honest I don't really care what team I get on I'm just happy I graduated huh so you don't care at all there is no one you would or would rather not be with she asked doubtingly Naruto looked at his new friend with a small smile well there is this one guy SAS Academy he just gets on my nerves all the time wait Sasuke as in Uchiha Sasuke the sole survivor of the Uchiha Clan Massacre that's the guy he said while nodding ouch I can understand that I mean I can't set myself into his place to get his whole clan killed but he is just so so brooding exactly she smiled she rather liked Naruto not in romantic manner but he was a good friend it was a good break from her two teammates and their eccentric Sensei Naruto was a funny guy maybe a bit straightforward with things but nothing she couldn't handle she took a look around and saw the glares of the villagers it wasn't her they were glaring at it was her new friend she had tried to ask him about it but he had changed subject rather quickly she knew that he had pranked most of the villagers when he was a kid she had found them rather funny and then a few days ago when painted the Hokage Monument she was impressed it wasn't anyone who could overpaint a monument which was visible from most of the village in daylight wearing an orange jumpsuit when she had asked how he had done it he had answered it's easy when no one wants you to exist that time it was her who changed subject she was pulled out of her train of thoughts when Naruto started talking again and then there is sakurakan she raised an eyebrow while smiling so there's a girl I guess she hung up on the Uchiha then yeah can you believe it and every time she asks him on a date he turns her down and still she won't go out with me he answered a bit moping so how many times have you asked her on a date ERM every time I see her it's usually just after she gets turned down by Sasuke I have an advice if you want Naruto nodded eagerly back off what Naruto said disbelievingly I said back off try to stop asking her on a date every time you see her try just to be there for her you know maybe in time she will come around she said while winking at her blonde friend baby steps learn to be friends first then see where it goes from there maybe okay I'll try it he said showing her one of his Big Bright Smiles good she nodded approvingly flashback end Naruto opened the door to his classroom and made his way inside he hadn't stepped three steps inside before a boy stepped in front of him oy Naruto today is the team assignments you do know that you would actually have to pass the exam if you want in on it right it from the brown-haired boy he wore a pair of dark grayish pants that reached down to his calves and a gray-hooded furl and coat with a hood he wore on his head under the hood on his head was a little white puppy agrees Kiba stated with a smug smiled petting his puppy Naruto smiled right back at Kiba while tapping his finger on his forehead protector are you blind dog breath I have a hit ayate thus must I have passed the Hokage himself passed me can you say the same for you Kiba narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at his hitayate just to be sure it was real when he was convinced he just came with an hmph and turned around to go back to his seat the blonde genin shook his head with a smile of kiba's antics when he was done he took a look around the classroom for an empty seat as far as he could see there were three one beside sauce Academy and another beside that seat and one in front of Shoji the last option wasn't really an option in his opinion it was a known fact that all the okamichis were real greedy guts and the new Clan air wasn't an exception that alone wasn't the problem the real problem was that not all of his food made the trip from the back it was in to his mouth so anyone who says in front of Shoji would be showered in food scraps Naruto took a deep breath and made his way over to the table where Sasuke sat and took the seat furthest away from the Uchiha Naruto reached for his pocket and took up a book on fuenjutsu and started reading it much to the whole classroom's disbelief even the Uchiha was brought out of his brooding mood and raised an eyebrow at the blonde Shinobi Hinata was looking from behind the classroom where she had taken a seat narutochan was able to graduate maybe just maybe I can get on the same team as him she thought hopefully before long Naruto was brought out of his reading when the whole classroom went quiet they could all hear something rumbling like some big animals like rhinos or elephants which were running it was getting closer and closer you would think that the class would become nervous at the apparent impending doom but this was a daily routine for them before long two girls almost fell in through the door first I win they yelled before turning to each other to glare the first one Naruto recognized right away it was sakurakan she had bright pink hair a color Naruto didn't know could appear naturally before he had met her and green eyes she also had a rather large forehead and Naruto knew she had been bullied because of it to him though it was just her and he loved every part of it she was wearing a red dress with a white circular design on her shoulders and her back and she wore dark green shorts she wore her hitayate like a hairband the second girl was Eno who had an ongoing rivalry with Sakura she wore a short purple vest like blouse with a raised collar a skirt that was cut off on the sides and bandage on her stomach and legs she also wore purple and white elbow warmers with this and her hittayate around her waist as a belt I win against Sakura Eno said what are you talking about my pinky toe entered the classroom before yours by a whole centimeter Sakura replied glaring harder Eno returned the glare are you blind the two girls kept bickering like that and the rest of the class went back to doing what they were doing before that is everyone but Naruto he was looking at Sakura with a blush he quickly looked away again Naruto remember what Tenten said give her some space but there she is looking over here and now she's coming this way maybe she wants to sit beside me he thought as the pink-haired kunuichi made her way over to the table where Naruto and Sasuke were sitting he smiled at her good morning Sakura Chan get out of my way I want to sit there beside sasaken she replied pointing at the seat in between him and Sasuke he sighed while getting out of his seat fine get in then Sakura hadn't expected that normally Naruto would get going how uncool Sasuke was and she would have to hit him ERM thank you Naruto she said taking her seat she was just about to talk to Sasuke when aruka came in through the door OK class settle down most of them didn't hear him causing a tick mark to appear on aruka he used his big scary head Jutsu I said settle down that got the desired effect he cleared his throat starting today you are all official ninjas but you are all still just new genin it's going to get harder from here you all will be in a group of three where you will accomplish missions under a junen instructor that got the class attention most of them hadn't expected A three-man Team Naruto wasn't surprised the Hokage had given him permission to train the last week because he was going to be on a team aruka continued we've arranged the group such that overall abilities are equivalent I will now announce them team one is Naruto started reading his book again just paying enough attention to react when his own name was called team seven will be Uzumaki Naruto Haruno Sakura internally Naruto was jumping up and down in happiness Sakura quite the opposite and Uchiha Sasuke that got the Reversed effect Naruto couldn't help but throw a quick glare at Sasuke The Gods Must really be against me there are 27 people that have graduated and I get on the same team as SAS Academy he sighed well at least I'm also on the same team as Sakura Chan next team eight hyuga hanada inazuka Kiba and abaramaishino there won't be a team nine as last year's team 9 is still in effect team 10 will be yamanakaino Nara Shikamaru and akamichi choji he called up the last few teams that's it for the teams now your Jun and Sensei will be here after lunch you can do what you want until then with that said the different teams went out the classroom in the council chambers it was the day of the assignments of the New Gen in teams and thus there was a council meeting currently all were present but the Hokage the council chambers consisted of the hokage's seat at the end of multiple tables beside the hokage's seat were two smaller tables where the elders sat their names were homura mitokato kaharu utatane and shimura danzo homura and kaharu were old teammates of hirizon and had retired from their Shinobi carriers and settled back as elders and counselors for the sanding danzo was an old rival of herizon while he had Kona his best at heart he didn't always care of the way to get there from the hokage's seat point of view the left side was reserved for the business people of kona the six that had been elected from their respective areas these people didn't have kona's best at heart what they cared about was getting more power and getting more wealth the right side was reserved for the eight major clans of kona senju Uchiha hayuga inazuka aburame akamichi Nara and yamanaka though because of the Uchiha Massacre the Uchiha seat was empty until the time of the last Uchiha to be 16 years of age and the senju seat was empty because the last known Survivor of said Clan senju Tsunade wasn't in konoha and hadn't been for years these people were the only one beside the Hokage who were not thinking of ways to get more power but had Kona his best at heart in the seat closest to the hokages was none other than hiashi hayuga the head of the hyuga clan which was currently the largest clan in konoha hiyashi was a man who despite his cold demeanor always put his clan in konoha first even when it went against his own beliefs the next seat from hiashi was sume the clan head of the inazuka clan this clan was well known for their collaboration with ninja dogs their pack mentality and their hot-headedness they always believed in looking out for family and were well known for their Fierce loyalty to others sitting next to the inazuka matriarch was shibi aburame the clan head of the abarama clan the abarames were well known as a clan that followed logic believing that to do otherwise would cause more issues to arise than need be they were also ostracized because of the bugs they carry the last in the lineup were the members of the yamanaka Nara and akamichi clans who were well known for their powerful teamwork these three were inoichi shikaku and shusa and they had been known as The ainashika Cho Trio due to the teamwork they used during the third great Shinobi War finally the sand Dame entered the chambers and took his seat as it seems we're all here we will get started now first point of order is sorry Santa mesama but I have disturbing news that I think the council should hear danzo interrupted the Hokage Harrison didn't seem affected by this as he had known this would come sooner or later he was pretty sure it was because of Naruto and his shotgun he knew he wouldn't be able to keep it a secret long after he allowed Naruto's ninja registration photo to be taken that and that he had allowed the blonde to use one of the training ground by himself he was sure that danzo would have picked up on that what is a danzozan Harrison asked more politely than he would have out of the council chambers it has come to my attention that you have reserved a whole training field for a newly graduated genin it intrigued me but I let it go I'm not one to question the Hokage here isn't mentally scoffed at that danzo questioned every action he took he had tried to get his hand on the seat for a long time other than that he had tried to get his hands on Naruto more than one time willing to turn him into a weapon of konoha due to his Jin shiriki status he was sure that he would try even harder now that he had found out about the blonde's new Keke jenke here is in Wiz of course greatly opposing of this monado had asked him to make sure Naruto would be safe he couldn't do much about the villagers but this he could he wouldn't let Naruto fall into the grasps of the old Warhawk never mind what kashina would have done to the crippled Elder if had gotten hold of Naruto hirazen wasn't entirely sure if he'd applaud or be terrified of that outcome danzo looked over the chamber he could see that he had piqued their interest but then a few days ago when the elders and I went over the new ninja registration forms we came across this he said taking out Naruto's photo sending it around the council he could see many confused looks we like you had no idea what this was so I sent some of my guards to look for the jinchiriki they found him at earlier mentioned training ground he was training to use schaden yes the kyubi jinchiriki has shot in an hour later enough of this yes Naruto has shot in but it isn't dangerous jaraya and I have observed and made sure of that the reason I allowed Naruto to use that training ground was so he could get it under control and so he wouldn't put his team at risk Harrison said loudly and irritated the last hour had been nothing but accusations and pleads about putting the boy down letting danzo have him if any other Shinobi or citizen of kona had awakened schotten you would all be delighted but because it's Naruto you're acting like this I won't have it he continued while glaring around the council the Shinobi side had been concerned but had calmed a bit down it was the civilians and the elders that caused problem they hated the boy's guts because of the kyubi now I have given you all the answers I'm willing so we're gonna get on with this council meeting now for the first point of order lunch at the Academy Sakura was sitting on a bench outside the academy they still had some time before their June and Sensei would pick them up she had just had a not so friendly conversation with Sasuke he had told her that he thought she was annoying you're annoying huh I see Naruto must have felt the same way maybe I can be nicer starting now I could give him a chance I never really have gotten to know him I always brush him off as a pest he did seem different from before she was brought out of her thoughts when she saw Naruto coming her way eating a Dango it didn't seem like he had seen her yet alright this is my chance to be nicer to him remember to smile not scowl smile with that she had a really strange smile on her face hey Naruto let's go back to the classroom Naruto looked up at her Sakura Chan I thought you would be with Sasuke he said the last part a bit sad Sakura didn't miss that yeah but he had to go do something else come on let's go back to class she said this brought a big smile to Naruto's face you're a genius tenton three hours later in the classroom why is arsensei the only one who's late all the other teams have been picked up hours ago Sakura said annoyed team seven was still sitting in the classroom or Sasuke and Naruto were sitting at their respected desks and Sakura was going back and forth getting inpatient with their new sensei Naruto sighed and looked up from his book Sakura Chan it can't be helped he'll get here when he get here while he agreed with her he was getting rather annoyed with Sakura she had been like that for the last hour coming without bursts every 10 minutes or so granted a part of him was really tempted to pull a prank on this guy but making a first impression that wouldn't help much Sakura turned to look at Naruto in disbelief before Gathering herself okay if Naruto asks me to calm down I really must be tiring I mean he is the most hyper person I know but that means that means Sasuke and also thinks that I'm getting annoying again she took a deep breath to calm herself down before taking the seat beside Sasuke Naruto eyed her before going back to reading his book 15 minutes later a silver-haired junin entered the room Sakura couldn't help herself and jumped up screaming you're late he just starred at them passively how should I say this my first impression of you guys is I hate you Sakura got a moping expression while Naruto and Sasuke got a better look at their Sensei he was wearing the standard konoha Shinobi outfit along with iron-plated gloves his face was mostly covered by his mask and his left eye was covered by his hitayate all in all they couldn't get a real good look at him meet me on the roof in five minutes he said before shun shining away five minutes later on the roof Kakashi was looking over each of his students he was mostly looking on Naruto Gods he looks so much like yusensei then he turned his gaze to the Uchiha I really hope I can help him before chooses a path that he can't be saved from when the five minutes were up he spoke let's see why you don't introduce yourselves introduce ourselves what should we say Sakura asked Kakashi Shrugged what you like hate your dreams and hobbies something like that why don't you introduce yourself first Sensei so we know what to say Naruto suggested me I'm hitaki Kakashi I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes as for my dream I have few Hobbies the three genin were left with sweat drops on the back of their heads Sakura turned to her new teammates so all we found out was his name Naruto Squints while Sasuke's eye twitched now it's your turn Blondie you go first Naruto shot a quick glare for his new nickname I'm Uzumaki Naruto I like Ramen ichiraku Ramen my friend Tenten aruka Sensei and Hoka geojisan I dislikes are the three minutes you have to wait for your Ramen to finish after you have poured water over it people who will hurt my friends and can't seem to tell the difference between a Kanai and the scroll it's sealed inside this caused Kakashi to raise an eyebrow he of course knew what Naruto was talking about Sasuke and Sakura looked confused at Naruto Naruto just continued acting like he hadn't noticed my hobbies are training hanging out with tenton and tasting new kinds of ramen and my dream for the future I want to become the greatest Hokage and make everyone in the village acknowledge me I also want to find out who my parents were he finished getting a nod from Kakashi hi next you pinky I'm Haruno Sakura I like well the person I like is soccer a glances at Sasuke and my hobbies are well my dream is to glances at Sasuke again and Giggles like crazy and what do you dislike Kakashi asked Nuru I mean I dislike anopig Sakura finished looking over at Naruto I promised that I would try to give him a chance and I start today Naruto looked genuinely surprised he was half convinced that she would have said his name and knew she almost did what happened to her Kakashi looked at Sakura girls her age must be more interested in love than ninja training well at least she's trying to be nice now you last guy Sasuke didn't look up when talked my name is Uchiha Sasuke there are many things that I hate and there aren't a lot of things that I like also I have an ambition that I have no intention to leave is just a dream the Revival of my clan and to kill a certain man Naruto looked at Sasuke I guess it's the man who killed his clan Sakura was still hyped after her own introduction Sasuke is cool Kakashi on the other hand had a brief look of seriousness in his eyes just as I thought he quickly got back to his old careless look alright you three all have unique personalities I like that we're going to begin a mission starting tomorrow first we're gonna do something we four can do together survival training survival training Kakashi Sensei we have just been through years of training in the academy can't we just go ahead and start missions Naruto asked rather annoyed this is no ordinary training Kakashi replied now Sakura was looking annoyed can't he just get to the point then what kind of training is it Kakashi started laughing freaking the three genen out a bit Sakura looked more annoyed than ever what is so funny sensei well if I say this I'm sure you three are going to be shocked out of the 27 graduates only nine are going to become jennin the other 18 will be sent back to the academy in other words this training is going to be a very hard test with a dropout rate of 66 percent and as Kakashi had predicted the three genen were very shocked see you three are shocked he said pointing at them are you kidding me what was the final exam for Naruto asked in complete disbelief that it just picks out those who are qualified to become genin did you really think that three Jutsu were gonna get you graduated out there is a world whose only goal is to get you killed we're not going to send anyone out there who isn't prepared he paused to let it sink in anyway I'm going to determine whether you pass or fail tomorrow at training ground seven bring your ninja equipment and meet at 5am Kakashi could see how shocked the three genen were even Sasuke who had until now composed himself trembled some now then meeting over oh yeah don't eat breakfast you're going to throw it up if you do 5 a.m at training ground seven the three genen of Team 7 came from each their own Direction every one of them half asleep good morning Sakura said tiredly hey it came from Naruto and the three of them waited and waited and waited three hours later finally Kakashi came going from the tree line hi fellows good morning you're late both Naruto and Sakura yelled at him while pointing accusingly at him now normally the new and improved Naruto wouldn't do that but the lack of sleep and his empty stomach made him momentarily pick up some of his old habits yeah you see a black cat cross my path so Kakashi replied but trailed off when he saw the faces of Team seven he cleared his throat let's move on he went over to a clock on a stub a few meters from the genen alarm set at 12 p.m he then turned towards them and took out two bells to show today's topic is to get one of these bells from me whoever can't will have no lunch what it came from Naruto but was ignored by Kakashi I'm going to tie you there and eat lunch in front of you he said pointing at the three stubs one of them having the alarm clock on it at that moment the genon understood why he had told them not to eat breakfast it took a few seconds for them to get over that but wait why are there only two Bells Sakura asked Kakashi showed one of his eye Smiles I'm glad you asked Sakura since there's only two at least Don will have to be tied to the log that person will fail since he failed to complete the mission the person will go back to the academy it might just be one or it can be all three you can use two or shuriken you won't be able to get these unless you come at me with a will to kill me he looked at his team there were no objections Kakashi continued we're going to start after I say ready start the genin quickly jumped away hiding in the surrounding area Kakashi calmly took out a book and apparently started reading the most important thing for a Shinobi is to hide and conceal yourself it seems like they got that part down Naruto was hidden in a tree along the river going through the training ground he was looking at Kakashi thinking how to do this this is a junen the highest rank of ninja only surpassed by the cages I can't run head first in there without having a plan just to get a few things down there is no way that I can take him down he can't be expecting us to either which means he is testing out skills but he should already know them from our records from the academy well beside me he must be testing our teamwork damn it there is no way sauce Academy will team up with me he thinks I'm Adobe with no talents and while Sakura has been nicer to me since yesterday I don't think she'll go against her Sasuke Aiken so the only way we can work together is if I prove myself and I prove myself by fighting against ajunan whom I have no chance of beating maruto's side at the Dilemma he was in I guess there's no choice then the only plus side I can see is that I can get some info on Kakashi though he won't even be required to try Naruto quickly formulated a plan he made a few cage bunchen and had them hide throughout the area Naruto jumped out from his hiding spot and made his way to the field where Kakashi were standing he took his stance a couple of meters in front of Kakashi Kakashi looked from his book acting like he had only just seen Naruto he looked back in his book you do know that its basics for a Shinobi to attack from the Shadows right Naruto still in his stance didn't take his eyes of Kakashi observing everything yeah but I figured there was no way that I a newly graduated genin could beat you a seasoned junon with years of experience so I came to the conclusion that this test was to test our skills Kakashi looked at him again he is observing me trying to find anything he can use against me but he he was cut short when the earth began to Quake his eyes widened when he saw razor-sharp crystals shooting out of the ground trying to impale him he quickly jumped back to avoid it Hari it came from Naruto Kakashi took his eyes of the pink crystals and looked at Naruto for the first time since he had met team seven he was truly shocked was it not for years of experience in the field and in the war he would have shown emotions I haven't heard of that in a while I think there was something up in Tano Kuni but to think it would appear here in konoha and it to appear in the jinchiriki of the kaibi the two other members of Team seven weren't handling themselves as well as Kakashi was Sakura face was full of shock shotten is that even a kekkei Janke and how can Naruto have it she thought how the hell should I know just don't get hit by it cha it came from her inner self which she completely agreed with Sasuke had his eyes narrowed how can the Dobby have a Keke jenke he is a clanless loser with no family Kakashi looked at Naruto over his book well since you want to show your skills why don't you all right Naruto said before charging he aimed a punch in the guy but it was easily parried by Kakashi Kakashi frowned the punch had been a lot harder than he would have thought it to be it didn't stop Naruto he aimed a kick at the ribs but it was again parried he then aimed a kick in the chest knowing that Kakashi would Parry he focused his chakra there Kakashi parried but was pushed back a few centimeters much to Kakashi's surprise Naruto used this to jump back through the air Kakashi used this to his advantage and threw a Kanai Naruto saw this and quickly conjured up a hexagonal shuriken in his hand and threw it to intercept the Kanai they clashed together and were pushed out of the way Naruto landed with a smirk that was my kesho rakaku shuriken Kakashi still had his book up but he had to focus a lot more than he had thought so he is able to crystallize the air around him it may seem like he doesn't have a weapon but everything around him is also it doesn't seem like he needs to use hand signs but how was he able to kick so hard so suddenly Kakashi took a closer look at Naruto and saw light reflect off him which caused Kakashi to raise his visible eyebrow Naruto nodded at Kakashi it's just what you think Kakashi Sensei I call it kesho no yoroy Kakashi didn't react to think he ranked dead last Kakashi was to say the least impressed Sensei you're not going to retaliate Naruto asked in a ready pose Kakashi looked at Naruto he knew that he wanted him to attack him and that he had something up his sleeve Kakashi Shrugged before going through some hand signs Sweden miserappa Kakashi took a deep breath before beginning to spew out water towards Naruto he made sure it wasn't as powerful as he would make it towards an enemy he had to remember this was just a test what Naruto did next completely shocked Kakashi Naruto raised his arm just like to intercept and when the water was a meter from him it started crystallizing and split so it didn't hit him Kakashi quickly realized that this Jutsu weren't going to work it was just supplying Naruto with more material to crystallize Naruto cried with the ram sign up from the crystals that Naruto had just made thousands of small hummingbirds were created they appeared around Naruto until there were no crystals left on the ground with an unsaid command they attacked they closed in quickly aiming all over Kakashi Kakashi jumped into the air just in time to avoid them when they hit the ground they created a big cloud of debris that was a close one Kakashi thought thinking he was out of Harm's Way schaden rakaku shuriken rambu it came from several places around the clearing from five places barages of Crystal shuriken was shot at him he thought before quickly performing kawarimi no Jutsu Naruto's Shadow clones jumped out of hiding before dispelling Naruto nodded to himself in satisfaction before jumping away now he just had to find the others Naruto was jumping through the canopies when he heard Sakura scream he quietly made his way there making sure he wasn't detected by Kakashi he finally found Sakura she was lying motionless on the forest floor he wasn't worried if she had been hurt he knew Kakashi wouldn't take it that far he made his way down to where she was and after a brief examination it was clear she was under ajinjutsu he put two fingers on her forehead while the other was in a ram sign Kai slowly her eyes fluttered up as soon as she could see where she was she quickly got to her feet sasaken relax sakurakin you were under a genjutsu Naruto said trying to get his teammate to calm down but she was still going on about she had seen Sasuke dying Sakura that got her attention stop fussing like that Sasuke is fine you were under a genjutsu besides this is just a test so there is no way that Kakashi Sensei would hurt any of us badly let alone kill us that seemed to sink in but she quickly shook her head but I need to find him fast we don't have much time until the test ends she said starting to run out of the clearing maruto quickly grabbed her arm what is it narutobaka Naruto cited her affectionate nickname for him I agree but we can't just take him on one-on-one we need to work together all three of us Sakura stopped trying to struggle his way out of his grip and he let her go then she turned to face him fully but one of us will fail maybe but it's better than all three of us failing none of them said anything for a few seconds listen I'll give the bells to you too you like Sasuke right it was an obvious question he already knew the answer on but she blushed deeply and nodded good then you too can be on a team together I'll just take another year at the Academy I already failed three times what is one more time to that right Sakura was looking at Naruto in disbelief was he always this nice I kind of feel bad at how I treated him the rosette nodded okay let's go find Sasuke no Sasuke said Naruto starred at the black-haired genin in front of him with outrage why you both will pass we need to work together to get those bells Sasuke scoffed I don't need help from a clanless loser like you to do that it didn't seem like that when we found you buried to your neck before Naruto replied with a bit of Venom earning a glare they kept bickering like that with Sakura just sitting between them now normally she would jump to the defense of her Sasuke Aiken but she could see the wisdom in Naruto's words and she had seen what he could do with shotton also this meant that she would work together with Sasuke and that she would be on the same team as Sasuke but she knew they didn't have long time to do it we don't have very long time again before the test ends wouldn't it be better just to do it together and get it over with she asked carefully not wanting to get on the wrong side of Sasuke Sasuke actually seemed to think about it he looked up in the sky to see the sun's position he scoffed fine Naruto nodded at Sakura who was overjoyed now two minutes to 12 Kakashi was standing the middle of the clearing again he looked over at the clock inside I guess it's just another team that doesn't pass I actually hoped they would sensei's son a shot in user and jinchiriki of the kyubi the last loyal luchiha a true genius and the girl weren't bad either she just needs to get over her fangirl Stadium oh well maybe next time it was then that three Naruto's ran out of the tree line he watched them coming but didn't do anything visible to counter them they all brought their arms to what looked like a guard shot in swishow to on their forearms deep blue-colored Crystal tontos formed they charged forward as one slashing like crazy at Kakashi he could see that Naruto hadn't had this style practiced as much as the academy style taijutsu he kept parrying and dodging at last he decided that it was time to get rid of the Clones he kicked hard in one of the Naruto's stomach and it dispelled he was just about to do the same to the second when he heard a voice shout behind him yelled spewing out a large Fireball towards Kakashi Kakashi saw this coming and jumped out of the way he was a little worried that it had hit Naruto but it didn't last as he saw them dispel they were clones all along huh he didn't have time to think as he saw a barrage Kanai being cast out of one of the trees with closer inspection he saw that it was Sakura he brought up his Kanai and began blocking them he had just landed when Naruto bolted out of the tree line again he was getting closer and closer to Kakashi and was just about there when the alarm ring all three jennin looked in disbelief and despair at the clock no damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it Naruto said mentally kicking himself for not being a bit faster a few minutes later Sasuke Sakura and Naruto were tied to the logs and as Kakashi had said he would was eating his lunch in front of them Naruto's stomach was the loudest but Sasuke's and sakuras wasn't silent well then none of you got the bells Kakashi said all of them were waiting for the dooming words you passed Kakashi said they stared disbelieving at him but you said that we would fail and be sent back to the academy if we didn't get the bells Naruto exclaimed Kakashi nodded I lied he stated flatly but Sensei what was the test for then Sakura asked you three are the first I have passed people I had previously were Blockheads who just thought about themselves and didn't want to risk getting kicked back to the academy they didn't want to work together because they knew one of them had to fail but that is not how being a Shinobi Works especially a Kona hashinobi we work together train together and basically live together he looked up in the sky in the world of Shinobi those who break the rules are called scrum but those who don't take care of their friends are even worse than scum you guys work together to have a chance even though you knew one of you would fail the test so to answer your question soccer it was to test your worth as a team Naruto looked at Kakashi as he moved around the logs to tie up the robes you know he isn't that bad he is actually kind of cool when he had tied them up he turned to them the training ends here everyone passes team 7 will start doing missions starting tomorrow team seven were jumping through the forests of konoha pursuing their target it was faster than any of them thought it could be they had used hours tracking it down and now for at least 45 minutes chasing it but they were gaining in on it they were so close now their target had stopped team 7 quickly made their way to different hiding spots around their target this is Sasuke arrived at point B it crackled through the radio Sakura here I have reached Point C Naruto here reached point a Kakashi was listening in supervising them normally he would have scolded as much as Kakashi now can scold people that for taking so long but this was no ordinary Target as soon as he heard they had reached their positions he tapped His Radio if you're all in position execute capture Target t team 7 didn't need to hear any more than that they jumped from their hiding spots going after the target it was fast and dodged first soccer as attempt then Sasuke's Naruto seeing his opportunity jumped into a tree and came at it from above it was a success he grabbed the furball-shaped target it was to say the least not happy it turned around and began attacking Naruto the cat Torah was captured the crackling sound of Kakashi's voice over the radio sounded does it have a red ribbon on its right ear is it our Target Torah the cat the Uchiha looked lazily over at Naruto who was getting beaten up by the small Brown feline from hell and Sakura who was giggling at her teammate's expense Sasuke tapped His Radio affirmative Torah the cat is captured again all the genon of Team 7 was starting to hate Torah since they had graduated six weeks ago they had had capture Torah the cat Mission 16 x 17 with this for some reason the Hokage loved to give their team the most hellish missions they were had all agreed it was because of Kakashi's tardiness at the mission delegation office my sweet dear Torah Chan I missed you I was so worried about you my my you've gotten yourself really dirty haven't you dear we will have to take a long wet shower when we come home a large lady in red said to the hellish cat while hugging it to death much to the satisfaction of Team seven they were all grinning evilly at the feline Abomination from hell she turned towards Harrison and bowed thank you hokagesama I'm happy you're always willing to help then she turned towards team seven and thank you for helping the sand Dame nodded while Kakashi smiled ah no problem Madame shajimi we were happy to help all the jennin shot glares at Kakashi Naruto scoffed mentally we what the hell do you mean with we you didn't do a damn thing if we get that mission one more time I'm gonna kill that Hellcat I would be doing all of kona a favor Sakura also mentally on the same lines if you removed your eyes from that abomination of a book Sensei you could have actually help Madame shajimi walked over to the Hokage and handed him the payment here you are Hokage Sama I must be going now goodbye goodbye Madame shajimi and give my regards to fire daimyo Dono the old Hokage said she nodded at it and made her way out the door Harrison turned towards team 7 to see Kakashi getting deadly glares from his team now team seven let's see what we have for you now he looked through all the mission papers ah here we have it council member yoju needs someone to babysit his child while he is out on business grocery shopping in a neighboring town and helping pick up potatoes at one of the akamichi Farms oh come on Gigi we have done nothing but dranks for almost two months can't you give us something just a little bit difficult Naruto exclaimed Sakura and Sasuke looked annoyed by it but they had to agree they too were getting tired of all the easy missions Kakashi sweat dropped you know it's gonna be me who take all the trash right I guess it's revenge for me not helping with Torah eruka side Naruto you already know how the ninja rank goes your only newly graduated genin until you have trained some more you can't go on higher ranking missions than drank I know that but I'm not the same brat who used to paint over the Hokage Monument I can handle myself Naruto retorted well at least just one crank Mission kill us aruka Sensei said scarred shunan only sighed again at the blonde's words he has been keeping up on his former students progress and like Naruto said he has been improving greatly in the past two months the old Hokage looked at one of this year's most promising genin there is some truth to that he chuckled lightly while puffing on his pipe Kakashi what do you say do you think they are ready Kakashi who in the meantime had taken up his little orange book looked over his genuine team they were all looking at him with begging eyes he took a deep breath I would say a crank would suffice as Naruto mentioned they have been making slow but steady progress Heroes and nodded very well then if you insist I do have a crank for you then it's an escort and guard mission to Nami no Kuni anyo who are we supposed to escort then Sakura asked instead of answering Sakura's question hirazen called out towards the door to zuna-san can you please enter the young teens crinkle their noses from the smell of alcohol as coming in through the door where wobbling a drunk middle-aged man he had gray hair and a large beard of same color he wore glasses with a dark pair of eyes behind them it took him a few seconds to get his balance when he finally did he narrowed his eyes when he saw who the ninja team that was supposed to protect him was made up of what the hell is this you're giving me a couple of Brats I mean the short one doesn't even seem to be ten they can't have any skill he slurred out Naruto narrowed his eyes he had matured a bit from his old self but his short height was still a touchy subject and then he criticized their skill Naruto smirked which caused Kakashi to worry before any of the people in the room could do anything a big Crystal shot out of the ground impaling the bottle to Zuna was Raising to his mouth successfully pouring its content all over to zuna's chest he blinked a couple of times very surprised he wasn't the only one all the Ambu guards in the room were mentally wide-eyed behind their mask this was the first time they had seen the shot in inaction they had of course all heard about it it was big news when the village got a new Keke jenke but they didn't show any of this thanks to their years in service what was it you were saying ojasan Naruto smiled he didn't get any answer behind him Heroes and coughed secretly chuckle in his hand Naruto please don't kill our clients wouldn't be good for business you know Naruto looked over his shoulder before shrugging he snapped his fingers and the Crystal shattered in tiny microscopic pieces tizuna was breathless by the sight of the crystal Shimmer in front of him but composed himself ERM I am tazuna and I'm an expert in bridge building I will need you to escort me back to Nami no Kuni and protect me while I finish it the old man from waves said Kakashi turned towards his team you heard the man this is a crank so we will probably be away for a few weeks go home and pack all that you could need we meet at the main gate tomorrow morning at 8am Sakura Sasuke and Naruto nodded good then team seven I expect you back in a few weeks then dismissed with Naruto the blonde Uzumaki was walking down the Main Street alone as soon as they had been dismissed from the mission delegation office Sasuke had walked towards the Uchiha district with Sakura on his ass he sighed I still like Sakura Chan but the way she acts sometimes I have to find a way to talk to her about it most of the time on and off missions she really doesn't act like a proper kunuichi maybe I can use Sasuke to make her act less fangirlish he was making his way to higarashi weapon shop to buy different ninja tools for the upcoming mission he had thought he had it all at home but no such luck he couldn't wait till he was better at fuenjutsu so he could make the exploding tags himself but it was so damn hard to understand he was only one-fourth of the way through the first beginner book he had learned to make ceiling Scrolls and he was good at it but the rest it went slowly it didn't really help with clones since it was him that had a hard time understanding it but he was making progress slow and steady he was brought out of his thoughts when he almost bumped into someone on the street he quickly got out of the stranger's way he wasn't going to give the villagers any excuses to hate him more though since he had graduated they were concealing it more he had made his way to the weapon shop he was hoping to see tenton in there he hadn't seen her in three weeks she had been given a mission so she was away and now he was going on one if he didn't see her it would probably be a few weeks more he stepped inside and was delighted to hear a familiar voice welcome to higari hey Naruto tenton said making her way out from the counter to give him a quick hug they may only have known each other for a few weeks but tenton had become his best friend if not because she was his first when she was done she took a good look a good look at him it's good to see you again now did you come to buy or just to say hey to little old me she smiled at him Naruto smiled back well kinda both you see my team has gotten its first crank Mission so I need to restock all my ninja tools like explosion tags smoke and Flash bombs things like that and then I hope to run into you before I was going away she nodded and began to take all the different articles from the shelves and put them on the counter when she got to the Kanai and shuriken Naruto shook his head I won't need those tent and frowned I know you told me you like hand-to-hand combat and Ninjutsu combat more but you will need weapons that wasn't what I meant Naruto looked around the store just to make sure they were alone while most of the higher ups ninja knew of his shot and abilities there weren't many others that did and he planned to keep it that way for as long as he could I can make them myself he said holding his hand up Conjuring a crystal shuriken tenton gasped how did you do that she motioned to take it but quickly stopped herself and looked at him can I take a look at it maruto nodded she took it from his hand and looked closer at it she was to say the least impressed there were such detail and she couldn't find any weakness in the way it was billed even though it should be fragile in fact it was the opposite it was sturdy when she was done she made motion to return it to Naruto but he shook his head you keep it I can make a thousand others in no time she smiled at him bigger than before she put it down in her pocket making sure it was safe she looked at him again you still haven't answered my question how did you do that Naruto's face turned serious you can't tell this to anyone okay she nodded she weren't going to betray one of her closest friends I have shoten a Keke jenke I found out just after I graduated and before you ask yes the Hokage knows and so does all the higher up Shinobi tenton was stunned but regained herself somewhat so how does it work well I haven't really figured it all out yet but it seems like I can crystallize anything with a mass such as Earth water wood and so on but I can't crystallize energy such as Lightning wind and chakra The Only Exception is my own chakra I'm guessing it's because I'm so tuned into it if I had to guess I would think that if I spent enough time on let's say a lightning bolt I would be able to crystallize it but because it only lasts for a few seconds at most I wouldn't be able to do it and all lightning bolts have a different energy signature so it wouldn't help to try it out on a thousand different tenton nodded satisfied with the explanation she was happy he was willing to share like that to her she could see it was one of his big secrets he still wouldn't tell her why all the villagers seemed to hate him so much but she guessed it was just a matter of time she walked over the cash register and typed all the items in Naruto was planning to buy okay that will be 865 yen Naruto took the money out of his wallet gamma Chan and put it on the counter before putting all the items in various pockets in his outfit tenton was still amused by his little frog wallet and the fact that he had named it tenton do you want to go grab something to eat I probably won't be back for a few weeks Naruto asked tenton looked thoughtful for a second one second I just got to ask Dad if he can watch the counter she ran out back for 20 seconds and came back with a smile it won't be a problem now where do you want to go she asked already knowing the answer Naruto smirked at her do you really have to ask ichiraku Ramen of course 30 minutes later at ichiraku Ramen Naruto and Tenten walked into the small stand hey tushioji-san I am a Nissan Tucci and ayame who were standing and making noodles turned around to face where the voice had come from ayame were the first to speak Naruto can and tentencin let me guess the usual she asked with a smile both nodded ubet Nissan the old Ramen stand owner chuckled deeply coming right up both of them turned to continue making the noodles and soup while they were waiting for the ramen Naruto turned towards by the way you never told what your mission was about I got told you were on one from Cato yeah sorry about that I tried to find you but obviously couldn't and we had to go fast my Sensei is rather eccentric and he makes everything into a competition she said dropping her head at the end guy was a good Sensei and all but she could use a holiday from all the craziness no worries now what was your mission about there had been some Bandit raids on some small villagers down by the border to Kawa no Kuni so the villagers had hired us to track them down and take care of them Tenten told Naruto about the mission how they had gone from Village to Village to get information and to how they tracked down and took care of the Bandit groups in the area in the meantime they had gotten the ramen and Naruto was on his third sounds like you had your work cut out for you huh Marudo asked inhaling some more noodles tenton looked at her friend with a smile she had tried more than once to get Naruto to eat with some manners she had had some success with Dango but with noodles according to Naruto it was the god's gift to Mankind and he couldn't get enough of it yeah but I have a good team I trust them no matter how weird they can be Naruto side I wish I had a team like that is it still about Sasuke yeah he just doesn't want to work or train together he says that I would drag him down he made quotation marks in the air to what Sasuke had said I just can't win with that guy I'm probably one of the people in the village who understand him the most I never knew my parents of course I can't put myself in his place to have all that love just for it to get taken away he trailed off tenton could see he didn't like to talk about that so she tried to get the conversation to move on then what about that girl Sakura was her name yeah Sakura well she is nicer to me than she was at the Academy but she doesn't really act like a kunuichi she is all about diets her hair what clothes she wear and if Sasuke likes it I like her but I wish I could talk some sense into her ouch I had a couple of fangirls on my class too they haven't really made it far so it would be good if you could talk to her he nodded at that she took another mouthful of ramen now I've told you about my mission why you don't tell me about yours it was your first crank right Naruto brightened up when she asked she loved her blonde friends Antics yes it's our first crank we're supposed to escort some old drunk named tizuna to Nami no Kuni and then guard him while he finishes some Bridge there tenton shook her head at her friend's bluntness at describing people he hadn't really learned what should be thought and not said well good luck then it's a crank so you shouldn't get into something you can't handle especially with your little gift she said referring to his Crystal powers Naruto nodded thanks they were silent for a bit while eating their food Naruto broke the silence do you have any chakra weights at your shop I read that they can help you with your speed and strength I was really planning to wait till I could make restriction seals but it's going slower than I had anticipated so for now I will have to go with weights I tried to look for them while you were gone but couldn't find any and I never got to ask Cato tenton finished what Ramen she had in her mouth you wouldn't be able to find them there aren't many that buy them so we will have to order them I can do it later back at the shop they should be here when you're back from your mission thanks Naruto said taking another inhaling of ramen now on his fifth Bowl so it's here where you were hiding and with a girl nonetheless I'm so proud I hope I didn't interrupt anything a voice came from behind them both of the Jennings spun around on their chair to be faced with a big white-haired man Arizona it's nothing like that Gods you're such a pervert Naruto said a little high dammit gakki how many times have I told you not to call me that and it's super pervert thank you jariah responded puffing his chest a bit tenton watched as the two kept bickering she knew she had seen the old man somewhere before then it hit her it was jariah tsunades her Idol old teammate Naruto you really shouldn't call someone like Jiraiya that sorry jarayasama she said while bowing Naruto scoffed you wouldn't say that if you knew him and you heard what he said he is a super pervert Tenten looked from Naruto to jariah well he did say that but someone with that much skill and such a high rank can't be a pervert can he now now Naruto don't get into a fight with your girlfriend jariah said with a smirk causing both of the genin to blush Naruto was the first to speak dammit erasenin I told you it isn't like that he paused for a few seconds now that I think about it why are you here I thought you were out of the village jiraya smiled at his part-time student I was but I'm back to report to Sensei and he told me that you're going on your first crank you bet I am was Naruto's answer okay in that case I got a new exercise for you the white-haired man said taking off his backpack and looked through it now Naruto was excited as much as a pervert the old sage was he was a good teacher and always had new thing Naruto could do he got more and more excited the longer it took jariah to find whatever it was he was looking for his excitement plummeted when jariah took up what looked like a water balloon and gave it to Naruto Naruto looked curious and a little disappointed at jariah the gamasani inside while rolling his eyes it's the first step to ajutsu and before you ask no I won't show you before you have at least mastered the second stage there are three stages ah are you sure you won't show me the Jutsu Jiraiya shook his head Naruto sighed fine but what am I supposed to do this Jiraiya took out another balloon first nothing happened but then small lumps began to appear on the surface before it burst Naruto and Tenten looked curiously at his hand where the balloon had been before you have to burst it open by using your chakra alone just rotate the water inside it jaraya took out a scroll here I have sealed a lot of balloons inside it it won't be easy but if you manage to finish it before I get back I'll give the second stage to Kakashi for the third stage you will have to wait for me Naruto took the scroll and put it down his pocket thank you erasen and Jiraiya nodded at him before waving and walked away Naruto turned back to his Ramen just to see tenton look accusingly at him what what you're learning from jariusama one of the densetsu knows sonin and you don't tell me I didn't think it was that important besides he doesn't really train me Kakashi Sensei is my Sensei though he doesn't train me much either tenton's side just promise me if you ever get to meet sunodesma and you get the chance please introduce me to her will do Naruto said smiling he knew that Tsunade was 1010's Idol and that she held her in very high regard he finished his bowl oh well I'm full now how about you tenton looked at him with an amused look I have been done for 20 minutes Naruto chuckled at that well thank you for staying then no problem what are friends for right right and with that they paid for their meal said their goodbyes and walked each their way home next morning at konoha Main Gate 11AM gaw wear your Sensei he should have been here three hours ago tazuna said rather irritated I knew you weren't worth anything Sakura and Sasuke shot him a glare Naruto just kept reading his book he may have lost it a bit when he first met the old drunk but he weren't gonna let that happen again he was aiming to be a top-notch Shinobi of Kona Naruto looked up from his book well it's almost 11 now so he should be here any minute he is always at least three hours late and as if called upon a puff of smoke appeared in the middle of the road with Kakashi in the middle of it you're late Sakura screeched making everyone else wince at the volume of her voice sorry sorry you see a cat crossed my path so I had to take another way and then I saw an old lady trying to get across the street and I just had to stop to help her over all the persons present just gave him a look that said you don't really think you're fooling anyone do you anyway it seems like we're all here so let's get going remember all the stuff you have packed Sasuke scoffed that picked up his backpack he took a look at Naruto he couldn't see any backpack dhobi aren't you forgetting something Naruto was putting his book down in his pocket no what should that be it was Sakura who answered what about the things you should have packed Naruto Shrugged and held up two Scrolls it's in here way easier than carrying around a heavy backpack Kakashi raised an eyebrow he had seen that Naruto was reading Fu and Jutsu books but he didn't think he was this far in it he stopped Sakura and Sasuke from digging more into it okay it seems you all have your stuff so let's get going with that to Zuna and team seven walked out the gate making their way to Nami no Kuni team seven was walking down a road in the middle of the forest surrounding Kona they had only left said Village a few hours ago and had some days of journey ahead of them tizuna was walking in the middle of the group with Kakashi walking behind the rest pretending to read his little orange book while giggling perversely to complete the illusion he didn't think much was going to happen on this Mission maybe a few thugs one or two Bandits but nothing his team couldn't handle but he knew he had to keep an eye out he was responsible for the safety of his team and he wouldn't let anything happen to them even if it meant giving his own life in the process in the front Sasuke was walking with Sakura trying to get his attention by trying to start a conversation but she wasn't very successful all she got in return was scoffs and if she were lucky a couple of hn from didn't matter that much to her she just kept telling Sasuke of her life all the things she wanted for the future and so on Naruto was walking on the right side of tizuna while enjoying the day he was working on the water balloon that Jiraiya gave him but he hadn't had much luck so far it would only bent One Way nothing what Jiraiya's balloon had looked like but he kept trying he looked over at Sakura and Sasuke now she even let her fangirlish Tendencies disrupt missions she is supposed to walk onto zunao jizen's left side to guard him I guess it doesn't matter much right now this is only a crank but I really got to figure a way to get into her head that she got to start taking being a kunoichi serious if not she could be killed or one of us could try to protect her absently glancing at their Sensei he noticed the silver-haired June and lone visible eye expressed the same feeling observing Sakura's current actions eventually the rosette ran out of things to talk to Sasuke about and turned towards the bridge builder to zuna-san can I ask you about something tizuna looked at the little pink-haired girl what is it you're from Nami no Kuni right she asked curiously what about it he asked just a little irritated the drunkard was an old man and he wasn't known for his patience I was just wondering why you didn't use ninja from your own country don't you have a village there it was Kakashi who answered no there are no ninja in Nami no Kuni some countries are too small too poor or simply don't want or need a ninja Village for NAMI it's the latter it's remote and isn't influenced or influencing easily by other countries so there is no need for a ninja Village if a small country like Nami needs help from Shinobi they get it from a village from another country like Kona tizuna nodded you're quite right and left it at that after that they walked in silence only interrupted by Sakura trying to get Sasuke to talk again from time to time they continued like that for a few more hours they were almost out of the forest when Naruto noticed something it was a little pool of water in the middle of the road he frowned that's odd it hasn't rained for over two weeks in fact it has been quite the opposite there hasn't been more than a few clouds on the heaven and it's been baking hot and yet here in the middle of the road in a month where the sun has been high in the sky there is a water puddle he thought for a few seconds trying to figure out how it could be could it be he glanced back at Kakashi who subtly nodded without taking his eyes off his book they continued forward they passed the puddle without either of Sakura or Sasuke noticing the Oddity when they had passed it by a few meters it quietly morphed into two cloaked people Kakashi and Naruto had noticed it but didn't show quickly one of the persons threw the other retracting the kunai chain that was connecting the two through gauntlets they quickly wrapped Kakashi in it before stopping on each side of him the rest of the group turned around to Zuna Sasuke and Sakura looked shocked while Naruto acted like it but in reality he knew that Kakashi had a plan Naruto took a closer look at the two now obvious Shinobi and saw their Hittites kiragakir what are curing and doing here the two kirinan retracted the kunai chain slicing what appeared to be Kakashi in half first one down the one on the left said they quickly disappeared in a blur of speed only to reappear behind Naruto second one their chain began to extend out trying to wrap itself around Naruto he wouldn't have any of that he stomped in the ground making a small wall of Crystal appear between him and the kirinen they were stunned and before they could react a shurikan followed by a Kanai impaled their chain on a tree behind them Sasuke was up in the air going through some hand signs he took a deep breath before spewing out a large Fireball Caden gokaku no Jutsu the kirinen tried to pull the chain out of the tree but quickly realized that they couldn't they snapped the chain from their Gauntlet and dodged by jumped each their way but they weren't finished yet one of them charged towards Sasuke and the other towards tazuna both planning to strike their target down with their claw Sakura quickly got in front of tizuna with a Kanai in her hand I have to protect him he is our charge but how how can I do this she trembled lightly stay back to zunason Naruto saw this he wasn't concerned about Sasuke as much as an ass he was he could take care of himself but it was another story with Sakura this was exactly what he had feared might happen he saw the Kirin and get closer and closer to the pink-haired kunoichi and knew he had to do something fast quickly he went through hand signs and slapped his hand down on the ground shot in suiso no hashira before the Shinobi from Kiri could react he was shot seven meters into the air by a crystal pillar that had appeared under him he narrowed his eyes when he looked down and saw the blonde ninja holding his hand Palm on the ground Naruto smirked your battle is with me Naruto quickly glanced over at Sasuke before his own battle started he was doing okay as far as he could see he were dodging most attacks and quickly japing to counter he looked back at his own opponent who was jumping down from the pillar he looked at Sakura he is were full of fear he nodded at her with a smile it seemed to help a little as she tried to smile and nodded back at him Naruto jumped back to dodge the claw that was slashing at him from above the kirinan was glaring at him Naruto just smirked now you can't expect me to nicely stay in one place that would just be too easy now wouldn't it he only got a growl in response the kirinan began slashing at Naruto who dodged it each and every time Naruto jumped back after 32nd of that and laughed a bit you will have to do better than that Sasuke heard Naruto laugh and looked over to see how easily he was handling his opponent it angered him trying to show me up are you Dobby not going to work I'm gonna get my opponent down in no time he thought as he ducked under yet another strike only to counter with a kick in the stomach which pushed his opponent back a meter or two he charged his opponent and Unleashed a flurry of punches and kick from his Uchiha style however he was unfocused this caused him to be left open not going unnoticed by the kirinen he slashed towards Sasuke's not open ribs Sasuke saw it but couldn't block it he wasn't fast enough just before it hit a couple of crystals shot up from the ground blocking the attack teme get your game together I can't fight both our fights Naruto yelled jumping over a strike and kicking his opponent in the face Sasuke scoffed in Naruto's fight he was the clear Superior thanks to his hard-earned training plus Arizona the longer they fought the more of an advantage he had the kirinan kept slashing at him exhausting himself like that Sasuke's were another story they were close to equals and it didn't help that Sasuke didn't keep his head cool he tried to prove himself because of how good Naruto was doing resulting in him getting bruises here and there but no Cuts so far Naruto winced when his opponent finally got him he had a scratch across the back of his hand Naruto decided that he had had enough of it Sasuke throw yours over here Sasuke looked annoyed by the fact that his blonde teammate was giving him orders but complied the next time his opponent slashed at him he grabbed his arms and threw him over at Naruto's opponent they knocked each other to the ground and Naruto went through a seals kesho pirizumu three glass Thin Red crystals grew out of the ground encasing the kirinen in a prism but Naruto didn't stop there he went through another set of seals before slamming his hand on the red Crystal schotten Banning bukosoku from the sides of the crystal prism Crystal chains shot out wrapping around the two enemy Shinobi when it was done Naruto lowered the prism only leaving the two kirinans sitting on the ground before they could react Naruto knocked them both out by slamming them on the neck that's when Kakashi came out of the tree line clapping very good I'm impressed he said with an I smile Sakura and Sasuke watched him with wide eyes before glancing over where they thought they had seen him getting sliced in half there were only wood pieces left there a clear evidence of akawarimi Naruto just watched passively he didn't think there was a way for Kakashi to get taken down by two ninja of that caliber why didn't you help your students they could have died I knew I should have asked for some better Shinobi he said sounding a little bit irritated Kakashi looked back at him without emotion I was standing in the tree line all the time ready to jump in at any moment if the need should arise he paused walking over to the kirinen inspecting the crystal chains loosening them the junan dragged the unconscious Duo to the nearest tree the silver-haired June in comments Now isn't there something you would like to tell us those two are the demon Brothers of Kiri gozu and Mizu they are too crank missing men while they could have been after one of us but that is highly unlikely for one reason these three Kakashi gesture towards his team are newly graduated Ninja they haven't made their name yet it's true they could have been after me but I don't have anything standing with Kiri another reason is that we just got assigned to this Mission not even the Hokage knew we were going to get it before we did see that only leaves you Kakashi continued while tying up the demon Brothers tazuna gulped Kakashi ignored it for now and turned towards Naruto you can dispel your chains now Naruto nodded and snapped his fingers making his chains shatter while Naruto didn't need to snap he loved how it looked but to give him some credit he was still a 12 year old ninja or not Kakashi saw the cut at Naruto's hand Naruto their blades are poisoned don't move too much or the poison will spread Kakashi turned towards tazuna I'll ask you more directly are there any reasons for two missing nin to be after you because we haven't heard anything about you being targeted by missing nin your request was to protect you from armed groups like thugs or robbers this is a mission that's above crank possibly Brank borderline a rank our mission was to support and guard you until you completed the bridge if ninja are our enemy this Mission would have been an expensive b or a rank it looks like you have your reasons but it only troubles us if you lie in your request details this he gestured to the demon Brothers wasn't a part of the mission that's when Sakura spoke up this mission is out of our league we may have been able to defeat these guys but they couldn't have been more than hi jennin to load shunan level skill wise if whoever is after you send stronger Shinobi we will be in trouble let's quit we also need anesthesia to take out the poison blood out of Naruto we need to go back to the village and see a doctor in the weeks since they had graduated Naruto had grown on her some while she still found him annoying from time to time and she didn't like the way he acted towards Sasuke she had started to respect him for his skills something she never thought she would in the academy no that's not needed the group looked at Naruto Naruto looked at Sakura can I borrow a Kanai please she was weary not knowing what he was going to do but lent him one as soon as he had it in his hand he quickly stabbed the back of his hand forcing a lot of blood out Sakura gasped what are you doing Baka Naruto Shrugged the mission is still on Naruto it's nice that you took out the poisoned blood and all but you're going to die from loss of blood if any more comes out Kakashi said with a Carefree voice Naruto just laughed at the comment as if that could happen he knew of the kyubi's regenerative abilities that he had gotten he dried off the blood from the Kanai and handed it to Sakura thanks for Lending it to me he then went on to drying off his hand in the grass before continuing walking down the path Kakashi soon followed with the rest of the group close behind he watched the hand and could see it was already healing so that's what he meant it must be the kyubi's power he knows more about it than I would have thought Fortress unknown location failed I spent a lot of money to hire all of you because I heard you all were skilled ninja a short man in a business suit said looking at a larger man who was sitting in a throne-like chair stop complaining the man in the chair sneered swinging a big butcher-like knife at the shorter man just to stop inches from his throat I'll use this decapitating knife and kill those guys the shorter man didn't seem to believe he could do it and starting talking in a mocking tone do you really think you will be okay it looks like the enemy has hired good Shinobi and since the demon Brothers failed in the assassination they'll be more cautious so it won't be easy who do you think I am the sword-wielding person said not liking the tone the shorter man was speaking to him in I mamochi Zabuza was called the demon of kirigapure the shorter man looked at him glaring back fine do what you want but I expect him to be dead and soon he said walking away team seven campsite later that night Naruto was sitting on a hill at the edge of the camp Kakashi had taken the first watch and he was taking the second he was sitting reading the book on fuenjutsu he almost understood the concept behind the explosion tags but he knew he couldn't make them yet the blonde made a note to himself to have his clones work on his handwriting he wasn't ashamed to say that it sucked he hadn't really needed it until now he heard steps behind and looked over his shoulder to see Sakura walking towards him he turned to his book again can't sleep no her voice sounded behind him I was hey aren't you supposed to keep watch she asked a little accusingly Naruto didn't answer instead he pointed to places at the edge of the camp she looked to see a couple of cage Bundchen oh sorry no problem he flipped a page why can't you sleep she hesitated she didn't really know if she wanted to share this with Naruto she sighed and sat down a meter beside him I keep thinking about the Battle and then now how tired Sasuke is because of it I don't know this time it was Naruto's turn to hesitate this was the moment he had waited for the moment he could try to get her to act more like akunoichi instead of a fangirl I have some advice but I don't know how much you're going to like it she just looked at him as he continued you need to get it together were Shinobi now we aren't just students if it had been only you today to Zuna and you would have been killed Sakura frowned she didn't like it but he was true what would you have me do then stop being a fan girl was his tactless blunt response I'm not a fan girl Naruto looked up from his book and gave her a look that said are you kidding me she sighed okay maybe just a little bit Naruto shook his head with an amused grin on his lips tried to take being a kunuichi more serious don't go on diet you need the energy the food gives you if you train without it you will just become skinny and not the good skinny you want I mean bad unhealthy skinny I don't think Sasuke would like that very much she blushed like she had just found out her secret crush and then start training stop caring so much about your clothes hair and so on start focusing on training more he paused and for the record it may even help your chances with Sasuke it heard a bit to say that to the girl he had a crush on Sasuke is attracted to power so if you become a powerful kunoichi you may even get him Sakura nodded she didn't like everything that was said she needed to think about it she Rose and started walking back to her tent but stopped and turned halfway around thank you Naruto Naruto just lifted his hand and half waved without looking up from his book as to say no problem she walked to her tent and tried to get some sleep before her watch was coming up however her thoughts lingered some especially on the new attitude of their blonde teammate he changed so much since the academy and ever since learning he has a kekai genkai he has been more responsible he still acts only a little goofy but he does not even ask me out on dates anymore for whatever reason she felt a ping in her heart from that he still calls her soccer a Chan but overall he has acted much more appropriate to her yet something still muled at her I really like this Naruto but kind of missed the old one a little bit early next morning team 7 and tazuna were sailed in a little boat in the thick Morning Mist they were sailing from the mainland to the largest island of Nami no Kuni the boat didn't even have a motor it was propelled forward by a guy who was slowly paddling trying to make as little noise as possible the Mist is so thick I can't see anything in it Sakura stated no one answered her right away but tizuna broke the silence we should be able to see the bridge soon if we sail alongside the bridge we should be in Nami no Kuni soon the paddling guy said and as if on command the bridge appeared out of the Mist the jennin were stunned it was huge they had never seen anything like it wow that's unbelievable Naruto said a little highly while the other genin nodded in agreement the paddling guy didn't like it hey be quiet we're using this boat and hiding in the Mist that's why I'm rowing instead of using an engine in other words if we get caught we'll be in serious trouble sorry Naruto said lowly Kakashi was looking at the old bridge builder to zunasan before the boat gets to the pier there's something I need to ask you tizuna looked like he knew what was coming who are the people who are after you and why are they after you that or we call the mission when you get ashore and return to Kona all the eyes of the konoha Shinobi were on the bridge builder it looked like I have to tell you the real story I mean I would like for you to hear my story as you said he nodded towards Sakura this mission is most likely out of your job description and capabilities he paused no one was commenting just looking at him intensely an extremely terrible man is after my life who is it Sakura asked you should have all at least heard of the name Marine Transportation billionaire gato that surprised Kakashi gadu the one from the gatu company he's one of the richest men on the elemental continent to Zuna nodded yeah he is the president of the ghatu company on the outside but underground he uses gangs and ninjas to smuggle drugs and Contraband Goods he also does a nasty jobs like takeovers of other companies and small countries and one year ago he set his sight on NAMI no Kuni he entered this country using violence and wealth as his shield and he quickly took over the Island's sea traffic and transportation of course Naruto said bringing all eyes on him of course what dhobi Sasuke asked irritated that Naruto apparently figured something out before him if you wanted to take over a country like Nami what would be the first thing you were going to do neither Sakura nor Sasuke answered him take over the shipping industry if you control that you control everything in a country like this they use the shipping industry to get things from the mainland to transport stuff between the islands and so on in a country like Nami controlling the sea means ruling over the wealth politics and the People by taking over the shipping industry you effectively control close to everything in a country like this Sakura was wide-eyed he actually paid attention I thought he slept through the studies you're quite right tizuna nodded in agreement and the one thing gatu fears is the completion of my bridge which has been under construction for quite some time Sakura seemed to catch on I see you as the one building the bridge it became an obstacle to him then those ninjas were sent by gato Sasuke concluded Kakashi turned back to look at tizuna but what I don't understand is this he's a dangerous man that uses Shinobi why did you hide that fact when you came to us it wasn't him that answered but Naruto isn't it obvious Kakashi Sensei Kakashi looked questioning at Naruto gatu has taken over the economy of this place so the people here can't have much money to begin with and then add the fact that they are building the bridge they have even less I'm guessing they didn't have enough money to pay for a higher ranking Mission but if you ask me sendayamajigi would probably have made a deal with you guys though you wouldn't know that you're right again Nami no Kuni is a really poor country even the feudal Lord doesn't have much money we don't have the money to request for an expensive Brank or above Mission if you quit your mission after I land I'll be killed for sure while I go home he paused but there's no need for you to blame yourselves only my cute eight-year-old grandson will cry and cry and cry some more Naruto got a feeling he knew where this was going and my daughter will hold a grudge against Kona and its Shinobi and live a lonely life he paused again looking around at the sweat dropped faces of the Conan but it's not your fault Kakashi seemed to be thinking for a second I guess it can't be helped then we will continue to escort you that's good to hear it hadn't been much longer after that conversation before they had seen Shore now they were walking down one of the many paths in Nami no Kuni to tazuna's home team seven was on guard now that they knew what they were up knew that gatu probably would send stronger Shinobi next time they were walking cautiously down one of the many roads in wave they were surrounding tazuna Kakashi taking the rear Naruto taking the front and Sasuke and Sakura taking the flanks suddenly Naruto conjured a couple of shuriken and threw them into some bushes the rest of the team stopped in their tracks holding their Kanai in defensive positions they kept their guard up then Naruto blinked a few times sorry I thought I heard something over there You're such Adobe Sasuke said putting his Kanai down his kunai holder again Kakashi nodded at Naruto before heading over to the moved it away finding a dead Whiteford bunny the junin frowned that's a snow rabbit but what's with the color of its fur they only have white fur during winter when the days are short he looked around the tree line trying to spot anyone close by that means it is a rabbit that was raised inside a place where the sun isn't a factor highly likely for the kawarimi no Jutsu he kept looking around not going unnoticed by Naruto and Sasuke Sasuke had been shown up by Naruto more than he liked in the past few days they readied themselves Kakashi spotted a sliver of silver in the corner of his eye everyone get down a big butcher-like sword were flying like a deadly frisbee through the air heading towards where tizuna was standing Naruto took action first grabbing to zuna's sleeve and ducked forcing the old man with him Sasuke wasn't far behind grabbing Sakura's wrist the sword flew over their heads by mere centimeters before hitting and embedding itself in a tree behind them a man appeared on the handle of the sword Sharingan no Kakashi I see Shinobi on the level of the demon Brothers couldn't have handled you the man looked over the Conan Kakashi stepped forward that may very well be but it wasn't me who took them down it was my team he looked the man over Sasuke meanwhile reacted on the Sharingan part Kakashi Sensei has the Sharingan but I thought only members of my clan had it he frowned then smiled a bit as much as Sasuke can smile anyway I guess I can learn a thing or two from him after all momochi Zabuza also known as the demon of the Hidden Mist current status missing nin forced into hiding after an unsuccessful coup d'etat against the yondami mazukage Kakashi looked back at his team team stay back you'll only get in the way Sasuke scoffed at that why we took the demon Brothers down pretty easy now it was Naruto's turn to scoff Sasuke turned towards him do you have something to say yeah the demon Brothers must have hit your head pretty hard the demon brothers were high jennin to Lo chunan level mimochi Zabuza on the other hand is at low to mid-junan level we wouldn't stand a chance the only one on our team who has a chance is Kakashi Sensei and the best teamwork we can offer him right now is stay out of his way Naruto was so glad he had talked Gigi into giving him one of the Bingo books he had memorized it so he would know when to fight and when to run Sasuke just scoffed Kakashi nodded approvingly back at Naruto now we can do this in one of two ways one you simply hand over the old man and I let you go without a scratch zabaza's voice sounded then he smirked jumping down from his spot on the sword taking it with him down or two you refuse and I kill you all before you can count to five he finished getting into his Battle Stance Kakashi looked seriously at Zabuza if he is our enemy Kakashi moved his hand up towards his hitayate pulling it up slightly I can't afford to hold back he pushed the hittaate the rest of the way up exposing his left eye the Sharingan he turned his face slightly to see his team out of the corner of his eye everyone form the triangle formation protect his Unison the three genin were fast taking the position to Zuna in the Middle with the three genen standing around Sakura and Sasuke having regular Kanai up in front of them and Naruto having a crystal version oh I'm honored I get to see the famous Sharingan right of the bat this will be interesting he continued while a thick Mist was forming but let's cut the chit chat now he vanished in a blur of speed before reappearing on top of a lake the three genen were surprised and impressed by the speed but it quickly turned into fear they realized they didn't have chance whatsoever against him Zabuza stood with half the ram sign in front of his chest while his other arm was pointing up the water under him started to make small waves while water particles swirled around him he's putting a lot of chakra into the water Kakashi noticed he brought up his Kanai ready to charge he didn't make it before Zabuza casted his Jutsu kiragakir no Jutsu the Mist peaked team 7 couldn't see three feet in front of them the genen couldn't see Kakashi anymore and tightened up their stance eight points it sounded from everywhere in nowhere the larynx spine lungs liver jugular vein collarbone kidney and the Heart eight points I need to strike once and you're dead the genon shuddered now how do you wish to die Kakashi also hearing this summoned a bunch of chakra making a small Shockwave effectively pushing away the Mist just around him and his team Sasuke was frozen in fear what an intense thirst for blood one breathing motion or one eye movement will be detected and it'll get me killed what an atmosphere if I stay here much longer I'll go insane Sasuke started trembling now Sasuke Kakashi's voice sounded don't worry I'll protect the three of you with my life I won't let anyone on my team die he said with an I smile I wonder about that Kakashi zabaza's voice sounded again right before he appeared in between the three genen Kakashi reacted fast charging at Zabuza pushing him back Zabuza was why died the fight begins now Kakashi said slashing at Zabuza with impressive speed the missing nin simply jumped back dodging the slash before he had landed Kakashi brought up three more Kanai casting them towards Zabuza he dodged one but the others hit their marks on dead center in the forehead and two in the chest Zabuza was standing still before beginning to leak water that's when another figure appeared behind with a slashing motion Sensei watch out behind you Sakura yelled but too late Kakashi was cut in half the time seemed to slow down for the genin before what they had thought to be Kakashi to burst into water Zabuza looked wide-eyed he copied my Jutsu I didn't even see him make the hand signs Kakashi appeared behind Zabuza holding up a Kanai close to his throat Zabuza sliced his sword towards Kakashi who quickly blocked with his Kanai he hadn't expected the force though and was forced out on the lake Zabuza was close behind standing a couple of meters away facing his opponent I must say you live up to your nickname copy ninja Kakashi I am impressed and I'm not easily impressed Zabuza voiced but now we're in my element he started making hand signs Kakashi did the same signs at the exact same moment when they were through with the signs both of them yelled Sweden suiriudan nojutsu two great dragons shaped Out of Water morphed out of the waters heading for the other they collided with great force that caused a shock wave the two junin guarded themselves Zabuza looked in shock at his opponent how did he do that he didn't simply copy my Jutsu he used it the exact same time could he be reading my mind it came from Kakashi Zabuza looked even more shocked than more but quickly reigned it in I don't know what you did but it ends here Zabuza charged again closing in forcing the two Shinobi to use taijutsu Zabuza sliced at his opponent but Kakashi block with his Kanai Zabuza frowned putting more Force into it he won the struggle forcing Kakashi underwater Kakashi quickly swam to the surface again what the matter with this water it's so heavy he thought while climbing up on the surface again Zabuza grinned at that I'm afraid you've fallen into my trap Kakashi he appeared behind the half-submerged Kakashi and went through some hand signs again suero no Jutsu Kakashi looked back at Zabuza who were standing with a hand extended towards him the water quickly formed a sphere around him in zabaza's hand I thought I could use the water as cover but it turned out to be a mistake on my part Kakashi thought while trying to think of a way to get out of the water prison Zabuza laughed I told you this was my element you give me a hard time when you're moving but now that won't be a problem he looked over at to Zuna and team seven now then Kakashi I'm going to finish you off later first I'm going to get rid of them he made a hand sign Mizu buncha nojutsu a water clone appeared back it to Zuna team 7 was starring wide-eyed in fear Kakashi had been captured they were all trying to figure a way out of this mess they knew they couldn't handle in June and level ninja their only chance was to find a way to release Kakashi from the water prison Naruto leaned towards Sasuke tried to distract him I have a plan that may work Sasuke stared back at his teammate for a moment before nodding Sasuke faced the water clone again he began casting a barrage of Kanai and shuriken but to no avail the Clone simply dodged and blocked them Sasuke summoned a fuma shuriken casting it hoping it would buy him just a bit of time and then went through the hand signs for his Clans Kate and Jutsu he took a deep breath and breathed out a large Fireball Caden gokaku no Jutsu the Clone was surprised that a genon could use such an advanced Jutsu but again dodged it with ease Sasuke was starting to pant slightly the Jutsu had taken a good portion of his chakra and he hadn't recovered fully from the encounter with the demon Brothers dhobi I hope you're done soon I can't hold him off much longer Naruto nodded hi just give me a few more seconds teme he needed a lot of chakra for this Jutsu while he had monster reserves it wasn't easy to summon a huge amount at once there he made hand seals shot in kesho gokakiro the ground under the Clone and the water under Kakashi's water prison glowed brightly pink before they were encased in Crystal Naruto concentrated and made the ram seal funsai the Clone shattered into a thousand pieces and so did the prison leaving Kakashi free who jumped back to get clear of zabaza's range he was impressed with maruto he guessed it wasn't easy to crystallize some but not all of something like his water prison Zabuza was shocked he looked over at the blonde genin who were looking intensely back at him he turned to Kakashi and asked a simple question how Kakashi looked at Zabuza and quickly glanced over at Shino before making eye contact again the blonde genin on team he possessed shotin a look of surprise spread across zabaza's face shot in I haven't even heard about it before now he looked at Naruto again Kakashi then turned serious once again but now this really must end Zabuza began making hand signs Kakashi following just before Zabuza was done Kakashi cried Sweden daibakufu no Jutsu Zabuza was wide-eyed this time he didn't do it at the same time as me he did it before me water began encircling around Kakashi before shooting towards Zabuza there was too much to be able to dodge he was slammed Away by the great mass of water it slammed him through multiple trees before pinning him to one before he could look around three Kanai flew towards him impaling him in different spots Kakashi jumped and stood on a branch of the tree while the water resided Zabuza was panting heavily now the water had really roughed him up he looked down on the ground can you can you see the future he asked Kakashi said person looked down at him yeah and I tell you what I can see he brought up another Kanai you're going to die he jumped down and was just about to strike when his senses told him to jump away he did so only to see three senbon needles hitting Zabuza in the neck his eyes rolled back in the head and his body fell to the ground lifeless Kakashi and team seven were stunned they looked back to where the senbon needles had come from they saw boy not much older than themselves standing he has a mask over his face it was true he did die Kakashi jumped over to where zabaza's apparent body was checking for any life signs he didn't find any he really is dead he looked back at boy who had killed his opponent the boy bowed slightly thank you very much I was looking for a chance to kill Zabuza that mask if I remember correctly you must be a hunternan from kirigakure Kakashi said the boy stood up straight again you are well informed Sharingan Kakashi he paused for a moment before continuing yes I am a member of the pursuing Shinobi unit that hunts missing nin Kakashi looked analyzing on the hunternan judging from his height and voice he must not be that older than Sasuke and the others yet he is a hunternan he looked over him again he's no ordinary kid the Hunter and sunshine over to zabaza's corpse taking its arm across his neck effectively carrying it your battle ends here for now I must go dispose of this corpse it's a body filled with Secrets if you'll excuse me he finished then sunshine away Kakashi looking at where the hunternan had been pushed down his hitayate covering his Sharingan again he turned towards his team into Zuna our mission hasn't ended yet we need to escort to zunassan to his house the Jenna nodded to Zuna grind sorry about that everyone just rest at my house the Shinobi just sweat dropped at to zuna's Carefree attitude no more than two minutes ago was he close to dying and there he is standing grinning Sasuke thought he sighed deeply okay let's go everyone Kakashi said stating to head down the road he hadn't gone more than a few steps when he collapsed his team was beside him quickly with soccer examining him he looks okay I can't be sure though she turned towards tazuna how long is there to your house tazuna looked down on Kakashi it's just up the road shouldn't be more than half an hour away by now Sakura nodded at that Kakashi's visible eye fluttered open he was looking up at a wooden ceiling I used the Sharingan too much at least we beat Zabuza you're awake Kakashi rolled his head and looked over at his blonde genin sitting cross-legged beside him I'll tell the boss Naruto said before puffing Away In Smoke Kakashi raised his eyebrow he was a shadow clone so that's how he's done it it didn't take long before he could hear footsteps out in the hallway along with Dobby how can you know he's awake you have been with us all along from what sounded like Sasuke just trust me on this one teme Naruto said Naruto Baka stop calling Sasuke things like that it came from Sakura then the door slid open see I told you he was awake the blonde jennen said with a big smile Sakura rolled her eyes and made her way over to where Kakashi was laying it's good to see you're awake again she paused while she sat down beside him the Sharingan really is amazing but it puts a lot of strain on the body I'm not sure if it's good or bad no Naruto said while making his way to the other side of the futon it's because it isn't Kakashi sensei's Sharingan only the members of the Uchiha Clan can get it I'm guessing you had it transplanted and by what I saw it was when you were quite Young the other looked at him like he was crazy while they had slowly started to accept that Naruto actually knew stuff it was still surprising that he could estimate when Kakashi had his eye transplanted just by looking at it once it had also caught Sasuke's attention since it was his kekai genkai the subject was one Naruto continued normally the Sharingan or the Byakugan for that matter doesn't take that much chakra or do so much strain on the body but I'm guessing because it isn't a part of his body it takes much more people with kekai genkai are normally born with bodies adapted as the Uchiha Clan who hasn't the biggest chakra reserves but very precise chakra control this is so they can control the flow in and out of their eyes more precisely and better control their Sharingan Kakashi nodded affirmative on what Naruto said he is right it does strain my body much more than it would on any Uchiha by the way how long have I been out while Naruto had talked to Zuna and tsunami to zuna's daughter had made his way in you shouldn't worry about your brats They Carried you here about two hours ago tazuna paused and at least you beat that creepy Kiri Shinobi or the masked kid did anyway Sakura turned back to Kakashi onyosensei Who are the hunternons Kakashi laid his head back down and closed his eye to rest to say the Sharingan had strained his body was a great understatement Sakura was almost beginning to think that he wouldn't answer when he spoke up the hunternins are a special Department from The Village's anbu they are also known as the fire extinguishing unit and their job is to erase any evidence that a Shinobi was alive a Shinobi's body will give away the secret of their Jutsu if said Shinobi had a special chakra type and any specific medicine that was used on the body along with various other things he paused and opened his eye to look around on the audience for example if I died the secrets of the Sharingan would be examined or if Naruto died his shot in would be studied and possibly copied he looked at Naruto when he said his name Naruto got Shivers up his spine it's kind of creepy and disgusting that another Village would examine my body from top to toe just to find out about my shotgun in other words Kakashi continued hunternins will kill missingnings who have abandoned their Village and dispose of the Shinobi's body to keep The Village's secrets in the village he looked over the people in the room they were all nodding understandingly that is all except Naruto who was frowning what is it Naruto Sensei isn't senbon needles an odd choice of weapon for a hunternan I mean they are small and precise but it's pretty hard to kill anyone unless you hit exactly on some specific nerves now Kakashi was frowning too yes that is odd and then Naruto continued there's also the fact that the boy took the body with him if a hunternan is supposed to erase all evidence of a Shinobi why would they take the body with them wouldn't it just be easier to do it where the body is it could be because we were there but it just seems like something is adding up you're right all he had to bring back is proof was zabaza's head Kakashi said Sasuke who had been silent until now thought about everything they had been told nothing adds up why did the hunternan use senbon needles when it's so hard to kill with and why did he take the body if all he needed was to take the head and burn the rest to crisps Sasuke kept thinking over what he had been told trying to see underneath the underneath that's when his eyes widened no it can't be what what are you people talking about tizuna asked not a little bit irritated father I'm sure they will get to it tsunami scolded Kakashi looked lazily at the two civilians Zabuza isn't dead he is in fact very much alive what the two civilians in the pink-haired kunoichi were all but stunned what do you mean Sensei you yourself confirmed that he was dead as in not alive Sakura screeched Kakashi looked at Sakura it's right I did confirm it then how how is he alive she asked senbon needles Naruto said with a look that said why didn't I think of that before all eyes were on him now it's because he used senbon needles as I said you need to be very precise when you want to make a kill with them you have to hit the right nerves to kill but there's also nerves that put you into a stasis which makes you appear dead you're literally put in a near-death State until someone pulls the needles out hunternan studies the structure of the human body to the extreme many times more than the average medic the Cyclops junan said that's needed to make the kill fast and precise and to be able to dispose of all the parts it would be easy for them to put a person into a near-death State he breathed deeply I think it's safe to assume that the Hunter and wasn't who he said he was first he took home the apparent corpse of Zabuza even when it was obvious that the body was much heavier than him second he used a weapon that has a low fatality rate from these two points it's clear that the goal of that boy wasn't to kill Zabuza but to help him excuse me Kakashi's son but maybe you're overthinking this a bit tsunami said with a doubting look on her face you're quite right I am overthinking this but that's a Shinobi's job to look underneath the underneath the Shinobi world is filled with lies and deceptions so you need to think of every possible result and expect the worst it keeps you alive it's one of things the Academy students learn first it's the iron rule of the Shinobi Sakura looked a little worried Sensei how are we supposed to prepare for this it doesn't really look like you will be able to move for a while and couldn't Zabuza drop in at any moment Kakashi shook his head no he won't to be in a near-death State like he was he won't be able to move completely for about a week and by then I should be able to move too Sakura nodded still you we still have to prepare and how are we going to do that when you're cooped up in here how even if I can't move around too much I can still train you for the next week we're going to get you three prepared by training I can probably take on Zabuza again but you will need to keep his little friend off my hands he can't be much older than you but he is already that talented we can't underestimate him wait you can't expect us to take on another Shinobi of that caliber we just graduated from the academy how are we supposed to beat another Shinobi Sakura who was it that took down the demon brothers and who helped me get free when I was trapped she glanced over at her teammates that's right and don't forget yourself you may not have fought but you stood your guard to protect our charge you three are growing at a rapid rate if I train you for a week you should have more than a chance of beating that kid there's no way you can beat them it came from a gloomy voice in the doorway they all turned around to see a little boy not much older than seven or eight years old you will just die Inari where have you been I've missed you so much a loving voice sounded team 7 looked around before they were shocked to find out it came from tazuna Inari ran over to his grandfather and hugging him your home jichon I've missed you too Inari they have escorted your grandpa all the way from Kona and they will be staying with us until the bridge have been built they will be helping us tsunami scolded Inari looked at the foreign Shinobi kochen they're all going to die there's no way anyone can stand up to gatu and live this caused glares from Sakura and Naruto PFT how dare he he doesn't even know what we're capable of Naruto glanced at tizuna I guess being an ass runs in the family he thought remembering how tizuna had reacted first time he saw them Inari started to walk away if you don't want to die you should go home no one can stop gadu and with that said he disappeared out the door tizuna looked down the floor with a solemn look I'm sorry for that team 7 was once again shocked not only had to Zuna spoken with love to the little brat that had insulted them he was sad now there was much more to tizuna than they knew Kakashi waved with his hand no problem now team we will take today to rest from the journey tomorrow we will start the training elsewhere in the middle of an unknown Forest the young fake hunternan was squatting besides zabaza's body slowly unfolding a leather roll with various medical tools he turned to look at Zabuza trying to find any damage that may have been done other than scratches here and there the only problem right now was the long needles in his neck he looked analyzing in the area where he had hit him with the needles it seems I have to cut the clothes off his mouth first and make him cough up the blood first he took a scissor-like tool from the scroll and slowly closed in on the clothes when his hand was no more than a few centimeters from the target zabaza's hand shot up and grabbed the fake hunternins I can do that on my own thank you very much it came from Zabuza as he slowly opened his eyes and began to peel the cloth wrap off oh the boy said you're already awake he didn't sound surprised by a long shot Zabuza grunted as he sat up geez you're so rough he said as he began picking out the needles harshly this caused a gasp from the young boy who frowned under the mask I could say the same thing about you zabuza's on if you keep picking those out like that you're just going to damage a blood vessel then you're going to bleed out and die for real Zabuza didn't seem to care as he continued to pick out the last of the needles he sat silently for a second before turning his Gaze on the young boy how long are you going to wear that fake mask it's not needed here so take it off Haku sorry I forgot it's been a while since I have needed to use this the boy said beginning to Lodge off the mask from his face though it did help pull off the act and fool the Shinobi from Kona if I didn't intervene when I did you would have been killed for sure he finished his mask was off his face didn't look like a boy's face the curves were very soft and the skin fair and his expression just shouted I couldn't hurt a fly if I wanted to though Zabuza knew that it wasn't true that may very well be but you didn't need to attack my neck if you wanted to put me into a fake death you're still that same Wicked girl I picked up all those years ago Haku smiled that may very well be true but I couldn't help it I didn't want to scar your beautiful body zabuza's on also it's much easier to aim at the neck since it has much less muscle tissue Zabuza tried to stand up but only made it halfway up before falling on his butt Haku made her way over to help him you won't be able to move for a week or so but knowing you that will not get in your way Zabuza Zone Zabuza sat still for a few more moments catching his breath again you're pure clever and not tainted at all he paused for a moment looking over at his student that's what I like about you Haku blushed well I am still a child she looked over the area noticing that the fog was lifting the fog is lifting we should probably make our way back Zabuza nodded affirmative as Haku paused she turned a concerned look at him will you be okay next time Zabuza side I really don't know I know I could take the Sharingan on one-on-one but they also have a shot in user we have no idea what he can do he broke my clone in water prison with only little preparation given I hadn't pumped as much chakra into it as I normally would have but still he looked at haku's concerned face I need you to train to take him on I don't think he will be an easy opponent not even for your Hyden Haku nodded anything for you zabuza's on she helped him up and they started walking towards their Hideout to recuperate later that night to Zuna tsunami and team seven had just eaten dinner made by tsunami Inari hadn't come down after he had said hello to his grandfather he had been in his room watching the ocean according to tsunami Naruto leaned back and patted on his stomach ah that was really something not as good as ichiraku's Ramen but good nonetheless he said with a pleased smile on his lips hey thank you I guess tsunami said you should Sakura said taking another bite of the fish he rarely Compares anything to Ramen not to mention ichiraku's Ramen while they had been a team Sakura had learned a thing or two about Naruto he was a trainaholic he actually had a head on his shoulders and he loved Ramen on more than one occasion had he called it the gods gift to man I'm honored then tsunami said with a blush Marudo stretched his body and yawned loudly well I think I'm going to hit the rack see you all tomorrow he said walking out the kitchen he walked up the stairs and heading for his room when he heard something from inari's room slowly he opened the door to a crack to see what was going on inside Inari was sitting in the windowsill he was looking out at the ocean but that was not all as far as Naruto could see he was holding a picture then he heard sobs from Inari who were pressing the picture frame further into his hug Tucson it came half smothered from Inari Naruto was looking with compassion I guess he lost his father an albetta year's supply of ramen that it was gatu who took killed him Naruto closed the door quietly making sure Inari didn't hear him and made his way to his room the next morning the three genen of Team seven were standing in front of their Sensei which had climbed out of bed with crutches this morning they were standing in a forest clearing not long from tazuna's house tazuna had agreed to wait with continuing the bridge till the next day so Kakashi could get his team started on the training regime Kakashi looked over his team they were all looking back at him determinately even Sakura he took an extra look at her what has come over her she normally just looks and adores Sasuke oh well it can't be bad he coughed in his hand to clear his throat well then let's get started we're going to work on your chakra these next days Sasuke and Sakura looked disappointed while Naruto looked indifferent Sasuke was the first to speak chakra we can already use chakra and form Jutsu let's just get on with it yeah I agree Sakura said Naruto looked at her with an air you kidding me look she always agreed with Sasuke she didn't have to voice it Kakashi shook his head no you may be able to use chakra but you have far from mastered it now for today's exercise we're going to the genon looked at him with high expatiations climb trees and once again Sakura and Sasuke were dumbstruck this time it was Sakura who voiced her opinion climbed trees how are climbing trees going to help us with our chakra control or help us at all for that matter like this Naruto said going over to a tree only stopping for a second to concentrate his chakra before stepping onto the wood and beginning to walk vertically up the tree Kakashi nodded that's right I see you've already mastered it care to explain to your teammates what you're doing Sasuke were glaring at Naruto how much ahead of me have you come since the academy what am I talking about he isn't ahead of me he just knows an exercise that I don't he can't be ahead of me he is a clan less loser and I'm the heir to the strongest clan in Kona yeah that's right Naruto Shrugged it's pretty easy when you get the hang of it he said walking up below a branch and hang with his head down proving his point all you need to do is mold and concentrate your chakra below your feet creating a suction effect to keep you on the surface you want to climb that you really should watch out if you build up too much chakra in your feet it's just going to blast you off and if you do the opposite not building up enough you won't get the suctions effect and you will just fall off very good Naruto as to why this is going to help you in the long run Sakura when you fight an opponent what is one of the most basic skills a ninja uses Kakashi looked at the pink head ERM I guess Ninjutsu Sakura answered tentatively that's right and what do you need to use Ninjutsu Kakashi continued chakra the girl answered realization covering her face right again so by doing this exercise your chakra control and therefore your chakra utilization skills will improve and you will be able to use mourninjutsu the junin finished the explanation he looked at the two grounded genin to see if they had understood Sasuke looked pissed Kakashi thinking it was highly likely because of Naruto which caused him to look at said member of Team 7 and sweat dropped now you're just showing off Naruto was currently swinging back and forth whistling only connected to the tree by one foot Kakashi cleared his throat getting the attention meh Naruto mind coming down now Naruto grind releasing the chakra in his foot causing him to fall to the ground at high speed Sakura gasped but it really wasn't needed Naruto simply flipped halfway down Landing with a quiet thud on the ground no problem he said still holding the same grin so does that mean I can go on ahead with my own training Naruto hadn't had a chance to really train the last few days for obvious reasons he wanted to progress that water balloon exercise and he also had to do practice some in his calligraphy he had never thought that it would be a big part of his Shinobi career to write at least not until he became the Hokage other than the mission reports here and there and he never imagined to take it to such a high level but if he wanted to get better at fuenjutsu he needed to learn to write fast and precise else all his knowledge about seals would be for nothing and maybe he could also get started on that water walking exercise he had wanted to start on that for ages who wouldn't want to walk on water but had waited till he was Advanced enough in the tree climbing finally when he was they had gotten this Mission so he hadn't gotten started yet and then there was the matter of keeping his Training Method a secret Naruto gulped sandam Gigi told me that he would have me get all the missions involving Torah until I took over the Hokage hat myself if I ever exposed it to someone not meant to see it the silver-haired junen glanced over his blonde student before shrugging I guess it won't be a problem but since you already know the three climbing and has mastered as far as I can see I will assign you to guard duty tomorrow Naruto's eyes narrowed you're just assigning me to guard Duty so that you can stay in bed all day and read aerosene's perverted books aren't you Kakashi waved his hand in a dismissive motion laughing nervously now where would you have gotten that idea off to train you go he finished hoping that the prospect of training was more exciting than exposing him as a pervert for the rest of the team Naruto Stood Still for a few more moments before sighing in a defeated Manner and ran into the forest to find a clearing he could use for training as soon as Naruto was away Kakashi turned to the remainder of his team and started them on their training next morning at the bridge Naruto was sitting on the railing of the bridge taking a break from his water balloon was looking over the bridge it had been a slow day really tizuna had told him to get up around 4am as they were needed at the bridge at 5. Naruto not wanting to miss out on any training had made a clone with three quarters of his chakra and sent it to the Forest Clearing he had trained in yesterday it had chakra to about 70 clones but he was only making 30 or so the reason being that they were on a mission where they could engage in battle against foreign Shinobi at any moment say it wouldn't do that he was totally exhausted if that happened they had been the first to arrive with 20 or so workers slowly filing in as the time got closer and closer to 6 A.M as they were about to start one of the workers had asked were the Shinobi guarding them were to which tazuna had pointed on Naruto this caused disgruntled looks from almost all the workers and a one even had the nerve of calling him a short brat izuna had smirked since he had come to know Naruto just a little bid the past few days and as he had though Naruto had showed the worker what he could do almost fully surrounding him with Crystal before three razor-sharp blades had shot out and were inches from slicing him this of course had closed the mouth of any and all the workers who quickly went to work not wanting to get on the bad side of their guard Naruto side he was developing a little temper when it came to his height he looked down beside him there were broken water balloons not shattered at all they were just punctured but he was happy it was progress he had made the Breakthrough yesterday when one of his clones had sat down and analyzed what they had seen jiraya do a couple of days earlier and had realized that what they were doing looked completely different that's when he had gotten the idea to swirl the water in more than one direction it had been a success but it was still damn hard oigaki are you bored or what to zuna's voice sounded bringing Naruto back to the bridge huh no not really I was just taking a break from my training Naruto answered leaning back with closed and enjoying the sun on his face to Zuna frowned training you're just playing with water balloons Naruto chuckled internally he had figured that the way to Zuna showed curiosity were by insulting when talking to strangers anyway Naruto shook his head to answer to Zuna and made eye contact with him it's a bit harder than that I had to burst it open with nothing but my chakra it's a lot harder than it looks you know I don't know may I have a word with you to Zuna a voice from behind them interrupted both of them looked at the newcomer tazuna put down the little log he had been carrying sure thing Gucci is something wrong well I have thought a lot about it and I think I'm going to quit building the bridge gichi said looking down on the ground as if ashamed not going unnoticed by Naruto what not you too gichi why the sudden change of mind tizuna asked surprised and a little outraged to Zuna I have known you for a long time and you have become a good friend I want to help but if I get much more involved in this gatoo will after me when he's done with you I have to think on the wife and the kids you know gichi replied Naruto could see that he was really split in this decision but he had finally valued his family more Naruto couldn't blame him it was something Naruto longed after he longed after getting a father and mother are just knowing who they were Naruto respected the man's decision tizuna didn't look that convinced gichi continued I want to build the bridge and save Nami as much as the next Islander but everything will lose meaning if you die Naruto cocked an eyebrow so he is also concerned for his old friend I like that guy gichi almost looked pleadingly at tizuna why don't we stop building the bridge Naruto was to say the least shocked he hadn't expected the man to suggest that not after all he had learned to Zuna had done for it to be built including lying his ass off to the Hokage one of the mightiest persons on the elemental continents tizuna had regained his calm look and answer just as calm you know I can't do that this bridge is our Bridge not just yours or mine or the workers bridge but the bridge of all the Islanders of Nami no Kuni this is the bridge built on the hopes of the people the hope that we can break free from gato's rule that we can increase our distribution and transportation that will increase the wealth in this poor country but if we die if we die to Zuna interrupted people will know that tizuna the bridge builder died for what he believed in that he died in the hopes that someone would take over his work that he died believing that Nami no Kuni will break free from gatu if not by his own hands then by the hands of his successor he put a hand on his old friend's shoulder I can't ask you to do it but I will continue to build this bridge until my dying breath I don't blame you if you don't want to risk your family you can go home if you want gichi looks sad at his old friend before giving up convincing him with a sigh he took off his uniform and the tools he had used and gave it to tazuna I'm sorry old friend and with that he left the bridge to Zuna stood there for a while just staring at where his old friend had left he didn't even hear the steps behind him and only noticed the person when he took the uniform and tools of his hands he turned around to see his blonde guard putting on the uniform he gave the kid a questioning look I thought you said you shouldn't overwork yourself Naruto grinned back at the old man how can I sit still and not help after you gave that speech you have gotten a little more respect in my eyes ojasan but only a little tizuna grinned back at the kid he had come to like him he was Lively and didn't give up thanks kid I'm sure it will help I just hope there are no more workers who quit just now we're almost done with the bridge one and a half to two weeks more but just like gichi people won't risk their families I guess Naruto said bringing up his hand to form a very familiar hand sign I will have to help a bit more taju cage bunch and nojutsu 20 additional Naruto's appeared effectively doubling the workforce at the bridge it didn't take long for them to spread out on the bridge and help where he could his Lively Spirit also affected to Zuna who only was that more determined to finish the bridge same afternoon at the market to Zuna and Naruto were walking down the main street of the biggest town in the area in all honesty it didn't deserve the name town or Road it was a long dust trail where shacks and cracked Stone buildings stood along the sides the people didn't look much better they were all walking around very carefully afraid that their life could be stolen at a second's notice they wore clothes if you could call it that which looked to be made up of sacks and mold-infested cloth the worst were the children they were at every corner in store opening begging to just get the tiniest attention and food it reminded him of the year after he was kicked out of the orphanage before he had got in the apartment he was living in now he shuddered a bit what is the meaning of this tizuna didn't have to look to know what he was talking about Nami no Kuni have been like this since gatu took over that man can't be anyone but the devil Naruto said angrily I will definitely key Naruto was interrupted when he felt hands go through his ninja bag whoever did it had chosen the absolute worst time to do it Naruto swirled around to see a middle-aged man as soon as he caught a glimpse of Naruto's eye he was scared out of his pants and tried to run away but Naruto was angry and he had to take it out on somebody he grabbed the shirt of the man you do not steal from me thief and threw the man down the street where he continued skirting before he was stopped abruptly by a brick wall Naruto scoffed and continued after tazuna who had walked into a store to look for ingredients for tonight's meal he wasn't happy with what he saw it was the same as the street in the town the shelves were close to empty with only a few food stuff scattered here and there and they didn't look fresh quite the opposite Naruto's side and became only more determined to see that this country was set free from gatu and that said man was burned in the deepest pits of hell for what he had done he continued after tazuna who continued out of the store after paying overprices on the scarcely collected Wares they hadn't walked more than a few meters before Naruto felt tucking in his bag again not again he thought as he swirled around planning to chew out whoever was stupid enough to try and steal from him he stopped in his tracks as he saw who was standing in front of him a little girl who couldn't have been more than eight years old please give me she said holding her hands out Naruto blinked a couple of times before going through his bag and found a few pieces of candy the girl's eyes lit up with joy she was just about to run off when Naruto stopped her with a smile squatting down to her level hey what is your name the girl blushed slightly Amaya Naruto kept smiling hey Amaya my name is Naruto want to see something cool he asked which in response got attentively not he closed his hand together activating his shot in Powers making it Glow slightly out of the cracks when he opened it a miniature figure of a puppy was standing on his hands the girl went why died Naruto just kept smiling and handed the figurine to the girl here you take it it's a lucky charm as long as you have it good things will happen to you just believe in it she reached out and took the dog inspecting it all over she looked back at the blonde with tears in her eyes she bowed deeply Arigato Naruto Nissan she cried out before hugging him deeply Naruto was taken by surprise but quickly returned the hug when they were done she looked at him with big puppy eyes will you be back so you can meet all my friends I'm sure I will just keep an eye out for me Naruto said with his kind smile on the lips she nodded and ran into the crowd surely to find a show her friends her new toy that was very kind of you tizuna noted yeah they remind me of myself when I was little Naruto responded before starting to head out of the Town it peaked to Zuna curiosity but he could see he wouldn't get more of an answer for now evening at tizuna's house when Sasuke and Sakura came back to tazuna's house that evening they looked extremely exhausted Naruto raised an eyebrow it seems Sakura is actually trying I'm glad she actually listened to me Naruto smirked at Sasuke worked hard atemay Sasuke scoffed at him not having the strength to come with a longer answer Sakura was just about to come to the defense of her beloved Sasa caken when tsunami's voice sounded from the living room dinner is ready come and eat the Kona had genen didn't need any more to be said as they ran as fast as their bodies could carry them to the dinner table it wasn't a gourmet meal but it was not bad either at all they all took their places broke off the eating chops itadakimasu and began eating like wolves Sakura eating like a fine wolf after dinner when they had some tea Sakura was looking around the kitchen and found a picture hanging on the wall it showed Inari tsunami in tazuna and one other person it seemed like but he was ripped out of it anyo why are you hanging a torn picture it brought all the attention of all the Shinobi to the mentioned picture anarikan was watching this during the dinner the entire time this torn part looks like someone intentionally tore away the person who was there she continued it silenced the whole room finally tsunami who was doing the dishes spoke up it's my husband the Shinobi waited for her to continue not satisfied with the answer but she didn't tizuna spoke up he was the Man known as the hero of this town he didn't get to say more before imari left his seat walking towards the door Inari where are you going tsunami asked but he had already left she walked after him and when she opened the door she turned around looking at tizuna father I told you not to talk about him in front of Inari she said a little harshly before she too exited the door to Zuna sighed deeply team seven was watching him closely he looked around on them all Inari had a father he wasn't related to they were very close like a real father and son they were a real father and son he looked back up at the picture seeing a laughing Inari in the middle Inari used to laugh a lot back then but tizuna began to sob lightly shocking the Shinobi they had the impression of tazuna of man who didn't really show any vulnerable feelings well everyone but Naruto who had learned some about their client on the bridge tazuna bit back some tears he changed after what happened to his father his name was kaiza tizuna paused again the word courage was forever taken away from the people of this island in Inari after that day tazuna went on about explaining how Inari and kaiza had met how he had taught him about living his life so he didn't regret a thing he then went about telling them how big storm had hit the island breaking the dam and how Kaiser had saved them all then his voice turned into Venom as he spoke of how gadu had taken over the island and how Kaiser didn't want to back down how he was executed in front of the whole town to set an example and that after that day Inari was changed he didn't believe in Heroes and courage he was depressed and cried alone in his room after he finished the whole room was quiet team seven had troubled looks on their faces how horrible it came quiet from Sakura the others nodded in agreement tizuna then looked up at them all with a determined look in his eyes and that's why I want to build that bridge for the people of wave for Kaiser and farinari I want to break us free from the rule of gatu I want Inari to be happy again that determination was also brought up in the Shinobi and we will help you achieve it we won't let gadu lay a hand on you count on it Naruto declared Sasuke smirked you count on it I'm not going to be outdone by you Dobby hi we can't let the people of waves suffer anymore Sakura said Kakashi took a look on the clock guys I think it's about time to hit the racks we still have to train you guys hard the next few days to get you ready you don't want to let tzuna down do you none of the genin did and quickly made their way to bed the next few days didn't go very different Kakashi came and helped guard to Zuna and in the meantime had handed over a Jutsu scroll on futon reposio he had said it would work well with his rakaku shuriken and Naruto wasn't one to deny his Sensei Naruto was also making progress on the water balloon exercise now progressed to the rubber ball exercise it had taken time to finish the first part of the exercise only finally completing it when Kakashi had said he had spun it against his natural flow after that it had gone easy but this next step took so much more power that he hadn't even punctured the ball Sakura and Sasuke were also progressing both now able to walk up and down the tree without faltering and just starting to learn to stay still on the surface it was going slowly but surely as for the bridge it had gone faster with Naruto's clones helping but more and more workers had quit and only seven of them remained now most of them already having lost their families to gatu they didn't have anything to lose Naruto had also been back to see Amaya and her friends telling them stories and of course making more pretty lucky charms as they called them Naruto was starting to grow attached to the children especially when they all called him Naruto Nissan it was at least one thing he was going to miss in Nami at tizuna's house two evenings before zabaza's return when they came back that evening the genen were rather battered up even Naruto who had been working hard on the rubber ball and were delighted when they saw another homemade meal was waiting for them they ate as much as they could to recharge their energy so they could give it all the next day Zuna stopped eating and looked up at Kakashi the bridge is almost complete it's thanks to you guys the old drunk's daughter looked up from her meal but don't push yourself so much the genin just smiled tazuna continued I wanted to ask this before but why are you still here even when I lied about the request details Kakashi folded his hands and closed his eyes not doing right when you know it is right as a coward's way there are no weak soldiers under a valiant Commander they're the teachings of the yandimi Hokage our previous Hokage that's when Inari spoke up why it caught all the Gen and attention Inari stood up and slammed his hand down in the table why are you trying so hard to end up dead you can't beat gato's men even if you train no matter how hard you try and say those good-looking words weak people are going to lose against strong people Naruto glared at that shut up you don't know the first thing about us that silenced Inari who were on the verge of tears here you were living a relatively good life you have mother that loves and cooks for you and a grandfather who tries to save this country and what do you do you cry and mope about how bad it is you don't realize how good you have it compared to other people have you seen how the children in the town live and for that matter you don't know what it's like to be hated in your own village for something that is out of your control you don't know what it's like to be beaten and kicked out of shops and forced to go through the garbage for food you think your life is bad fine but don't just sit around and moan about it do something about it fight back don't be a coward Inari visibly shook as Naruto glared heated at him Naruto Rose from the table and headed for the door Sakura went on alert there Naruto where are you going out to train Naruto all but mumbled and with that Naruto stormed out the front door with tears in his eyes Inari stormed out the other side of the house out the back door the civilians and the genon of Team 7 were shocked of what Naruto had said Kakashi Sensei Naruto's life couldn't have been that bad right he has to be lying to get attention soccer asked Kakashi shook his head know everything he said was true Naruto was kicked out of the orphanage when he was four years old and was forced to living on the streets for 12 months before some Ambu found him and took him to the Hokage the sand Dame gave Naruto an apartment but he has had to learn everything for himself and was constantly being beaten and kicked out of stores and that's the down-watered version he said shocking everyone in the room tizuna looked down on his half-empty plate so that's what he meant by that they reminded him of himself as a child it seems to me that they got a good life compared to what he had to live through later that night at the Docks outside the house Inari was sitting on the edge of the Ducks looking out over the ocean he could see the bridge his grandfather was trying to build he heard footsteps behind him but didn't bother to see who it was may I join you a male voice sounded Inari guessed it was the konoha junen who had arrived a few days earlier he Shrugged Kakashi walked over to Inari and sat beside him Naruto didn't say those things out of spite you know Inari didn't react but he continued anyway he is just stubborn still no reaction he looked over the ocean we heard about your father from tazuna-san Naruto is the same as you in that way he didn't have a father when he was young to be truthful he doesn't know what it feels like to have parents he also didn't have a single friend growing up that caught imari's attention he looked up on the junan as he continued however I have never seen him grow timid get sulky or cry he has always been desperate to make people recognize him he now looked down on Inari with what Inari could only guess was a smile on his lips and he's able to put his life on the line for that dream he's probably bored of crying by now that got Inari thinking remembering what his father was like that's why he knows the true meaning of being strong just like your father Naruto might be the one who understand you the most what Naruto said to you before those are probably the words he's been telling himself over and over again Kakashi Rose from where he had sat if anything just don't hold a grudge against him he wasn't trying to be mean and with that said he went back to the house leaving imari to think about what he had heard the following morning in the forest are you okay hello are you there Naruto's eyes slammed open surprising the person who had tried to wake him up quickly reacting he jumped up into his taijutsu stance but relaxed upon seeing that it was an ordinary teenage girl looking at him he looked around him finding himself in the same clearing they had been training in the last few days I must have fallen asleep out here Haku took a better look at the now obvious ninja in front of her she noticed his konoha hitayate he was with Sharingan Kakashi the other day he must be the one with shotton she didn't show her worry but simply smiled at him I'm sorry I didn't mean to surprise you Naruto smiled back at her ah no problem I didn't mean to jump like that reflexes you know she nodded at that is that hitayate real are you a real Shinobi she asked completing her act as an unknowing civilian he grinned back at that pushing his chest up yes I am a Shinobi of kona I will protect her with my life the girl giggled at the way Naruto was acting Naruto looked at her again by the way what are you doing out here so early picking herbs she answered nicely as she turned away resuming looking through the plants on the ground herbs Naruto asked she turned her head and smiled at him that's right it's to cure injuries and illness one of my friends has gotten hurt so I'm out here looking for herbs to cure him I can help you I still have some time before I have to be back to breakfast he said helping her going through the plants he had gotten a bit of knowledge of herbs from his reading but it really hadn't been anything he had read up on they picked through the plants for a while then the girl spoke up again by the way what are you doing out here so early he threw her one of his big smiles training and why are you training I want to become stronger but you look strong enough already no I want to become stronger and stronger she was silent for a Time resuming picking through the forest floor are you doing it for someone else or for yourself well I think when I just graduated I was doing it for myself but then uruka Sensei acknowledged me and so did Kakashi Sensei and sakurakin and I guess SAS Academy did too he paused I think now I'm doing it just as much for them as I'm doing it for myself she looked up at him that's good I believe a person is able to become truly strong when they wish to protect someone they cherish Naruto got a thoughtful look in his eyes I think you're right I understand that she nodded at him she took her basket now filled with herbs thank you I think you will become strong she began walking out of the clearing by the way I'm a boy she said walking away leaving Naruto stunned but he is beautiful she can't be a boy you're lying he said before he could stop himself I I she stammered she sighed yes I am why would you lie about something like that because of gatu his men aren't always polite Naruto was disgusted by that don't worry I won't tell anyone she smiled back at him goodbye I really hope I don't have to fight you when the time comes to be continued remember to subscribe and like this video see you in the next video
