Flee on SightAN: Warning! Warning! This is a God-like Naruto story, if you do not like stories like this, than please stop here! This story is purely for my own pleasure of having Naruto stomping mud holes in people and walking them dry.
It was a tense group of five people making their way out of a rowboat onto the main island of Wave Country. Knowing they could be attacked at any moment by someone of Zabuzas caliber had everyone on full alert throughout their travels.
The group had resumed the diamond formation with Arashi and Kakashi switching positions with Kakashi on point and Arashi watching every ones back. It was a silent walk even Sakura kept her silence after the ordeal with the Demon Brothers. A rustle in the bushes to the right of the formation had every one tensing even further ready for whatever was to come next. Sasuke was the first to react launching a kunai in the direction of the noise.
"Arashi, check it out" Kakashi ordered
Summoning a kunai from the storage seal on the palm side of his right hand glove Arashi approached the bush cautiously. Looking beyond the bush Arashi relaxed slightly as he saw the kunai stuck in a tree just above the head of a scared white rabbit. He picked up the rabbit and kunai and went back to the group.
"Just a rabbit, here's your kunai" he said handing the weapon back to Sasuke who put it away without a word.
"Hmm? The fur of the rabbit is all wrong for this time of year. It should have a brown coat, this animal was raised indoors" as soon as Kakashi finished speaking a very audible whistle could be heard. "Get down!" Kakashi screamed before dragging Tazuna to the ground with him.
In a blur of motion a massive sword flew over their heads and imbedded itself in a tree on the other side of the road they were traveling on. A moment after the sword was lodged in the tree a figure appeared on the handle.
He was fairly tall muscular man with pale skin, short spiky black hair, brown eyes and almost non-existent eye brows. White bandages covered the lower half of his face and he had a head band turned sideways on his head. He had no shirt on just a thick leather strap most likely used to carry his massive zanbantou. He also had on baggy striped pants, arm and leg warmers.
"Well… well… well if it isn't Copycat Kakashi. When I saw you I knew why the Demon Brothers failed. I'm surprised to see you toting these three brats along with you" the still unnamed swordsman said mockingly.
"Zabuza Momochi 'Demon of the Bloody Mist', to be honest with you the only thing I did to the Demon Brothers was tie them up, these two brats as you call them" he said gesturing towards Arashi and Sasuke "took care of them like they were Academy students" Kakashi said back smugly.
Zabuza narrowed his eyes on first Sasuke and then Arashi before dismissing them "Hmpf! Don't make me laugh Kakashi. Why don't you hand over the old man and I'll do you the favor of letting your students leave with their lives"
Sasuke was clenching and unclenching his fists in anger, first at the meaning less talk going on between the two and then at being so casually dismissed 'Who the hell does this guy think he is? Doesn't he know I'm from the Elite Uchiha clan? I'll show this bastard not to dismiss me!' he was about to charge him when he was brought up short by Kakashi's voice.
"Stay in formation Sasuke! He is beyond your skills at the moment" Kakashi said never taking his eyes of Zabuza.
"The great Kakashi Hatake playing babysitter to a bunch of wet behind the ears twerps, how the mighty have fallen" Zabuza said
"What about your own student Zabuza?" Arashi asked speaking for the first time since Zabuzas appearance.
Zabuzas eyes widened in surprised briefly before he returned to a neutral expression. The shock was not missed by Arashi or Kakashi.
"What student are you talking about boy?" Zabuza asked in a condescending tone
"The one who left the scent of medicinal herbs on the fur of this rabbit" he said holding up the animal he hadn't let go since he picked it up "the same scent of medicinal herbs being carried on the wind in our direction from about 50 yards to our right" he said matter factly.
Zabuza was shocked that this brat had pin pointed Hakus position on scent alone. 'Who is this kid?'
'/If I can't fight him, his student will have to do' /Sasuke thought before he took off into the trees in the direction Arashi had indicated his opponent would be in, ignoring Kakashi and Sakuras shouts.
'Stupid fucking, angst ridden little bastard! If he survives I'll kill the little shit myself' Kakashi thought to himself.
Chuckling to himself Zabuza grabbed the rest of the groups attention "Don't worry I doubt if he is out right killed, if you get past me you might have a chance to save him, so how about we get started?" he said disappearing from the tree with his sword and reappearing standing on a nearby river already finishing a handseal Hidden Mist jutsu. After announcing his jutsu a thick mist rolled in from the river and trees. Completely obscuring every ones view.
Zabuzas voice was projected throughout the mist "Eight points on the human body that guarantees death larynx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular, sub-clavian artery, kidneys and heart which one should I aim for?"
As he was naming the spots he was also increasing his killing intent by the time he got to the heart Tazuna was sweating bullets and was moments from passing out. Sakura wasn't far behind him.
'I don't want to die! I can't take this it feels like my lungs are about to explode! I have to end this now!' with those frantic thoughts Sakura reached for a kunai in her weapons pouch ready to end her torment, when someone stayed her hand. She followed the gloved hand into the piercing blue eyes of Arashi.
"You can get through this Sakura the only way to counter killing intent is with some of your own. Imagine Zabuza just said 'Sasuke was gay'" Arashi stepped back and nodded his head as a fire was lit in Sakuras eyes as she released enough killing intent to take her mind of killing herself.
"Good job both of you. Now enough with the hide and seek Zabuza" Kakashi said
"Your right, that is enough because this game is over" Zabuza said looming up behind Tazuna with his sword above his head about to bring it down on the startled bridge builder "You're finished!" he said bringing his weapon down.
SQUELCH!
Drip…drip... drip "Water clone!" Kakashi exclaimed as Arashi pulled Tazuna and Sakura out of the immediate area of combat so they wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.
"You didn't think it would that easy, did you Kakashi?" Zabuza said appearing behind Kakashi cutting him in half only for the body to disperse into water. "What!" he said surprised before he stilled as he felt a knife at his throat.
"I didn't expect it to be easy Zabuza but apparently you did" Kakashi said appearing behind the startled swordsman with his Sharingan eye exposed. Zabuza turned slightly to look at him.
"Ah the Sharingan, you copied my jutsu even through the mist. I'm honored you have the need to use it."
"Good you can take that honor with you to the afterlife" Kakashi said and stabbed Zabuza in the throat only for it to be another water clone.
Zabuza came out of the foliage in a burst of speed prepared to kick Kakashi into the river when his leg was blocked by a forearm and his ankle was grabbed in a vice like grip. He had enough time to be surprised at the fact that the blond brat was the one to block his attack before Kakashi delivered a side kick square to his chest that sent him skidding along the ground and into the river himself.
"I was wondering when you would come out of hiding, I was about to come in and get you" Arashi said
"How did you know I was hiding?"
Tapping his ear slightly "Water clones don't have heartbeats" he said simply.
"You're starting to be a real pain in the ass boy" Zabuza growled out before getting to his feet and going through a chain of handseals as Kakashi appeared before him.
Kakashi was also going through handseals. They both finished at the same time announcing their jutsu.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu"
The two massive water dragons clashed together and fought for dominance briefly before they both dispersed. "Is that all you can do is copy me like a damn monkey!" he yelled in anger. That moment of anger caused him as Arashi took it as an opportunity to appear next to a startled Zabuza with a bo staff swinging it into his arm.
CRACK!
The sound of a broken bone could be heard throughout the clearing as Zabuza was launched into a tree. "AHHH!"
Arashi was running across the water about to finish the fight with an overhead strike to crush Zabuzas skull when he pulled up short to avoid senbon needles that were thrown at him.
Appearing next to Zabuza was what appeared to be a Mist Hunter Ninja if the mask was anything to go by. "This is not over Konoha ninja" a soft voice behind the mask said before Zabuza was scooped up and they both left in a water shunshin.
"Damn it they got away, Kakashi-sensei, how you doing?" Arashi asked as he made he was back to the shore where Kakashi was already waiting.
"Better than I expected after uncovering the sharingan, it drains my chakra faster than I would like. Anymore big jutsu after that water dragon would have had me laid out with chakra exhaustion." He said before turning to Tazuna "Even though they're gone I'm not comfortable out here in the open. We'll collect Sasuke then make our way to Tazuna's home."
(Later that night)
After arriving at Tazunas home and being introduced to his family, his daughter Tsunami was a beautiful woman in her late 20s with long black hair and soulful dark eyes. His grandson Inari was brooding child of about 8 or 9 with black hair covered with a white bucket hat, dark eyes, green overalls with a yellow shirt beneath it. When everyone was introduced they gathered in the living room where Sakura was currently tending to Sasukes wounds minor though they were. When we found him he looked like a porcupine with senbon needles sticking out all around his body, he even had a few stuck in his ass.
"First of all, Sasuke if you ever run off on your own again without orders from me the next we have a mission outside the village I'll send you back to the Academy for remedial classes on team work do you understand?" Kakashi said in a no-nonsense tone
"Hn" was Sasukes reply before he was hoisted in the air by his pissed off teacher by his throat.
"You left the formation and left an opening that could have caused us the client's life. If the civilian council didn't kiss your ass you would be bounced from the ranks for a stunt like that. I will not pander to your already massive ego and superiority complex you will either follow orders or you will not survive in the field with me" Kakashi growled out "and when I speak to you, you will open your mouth and respond with words, you will not grunt at me like I'm one of your fucking fans. Do you understand me genin?"
"Ye..s s..ei" Sasuke said as clear as possible
"What!"
"Yes Sensei!" came Sasukes strangled voice before Kakashi dropped him and moved back to his seat while Sasuke took greedy gulps of air.
"I apologize for that scene. Anyway we're not done with Zabuza and his tagalong yet. They managed to get away but with Zabuzas broken arm he won't be combat ready for quite some time unless he calls in reinforcements. Before that happens we are going to track him down and finish what we started and Gato as well. Before all that though Sasuke tell me how Zabuzas student fought"
Coughing slightly "Long range fighter" Sasukes voice came out almost as a whisper "He kept to the trees and surrounding bushes and launched senbons from my blind spots, he's fast but he never used any jutsu so I don't know what element he uses."
"Alright get some rest, tomorrow Sasuke, Sakura I'll be upping your training, Arashi you'll go to the bridge with Tazuna and guard him until I relieve you"
"Yes sensei" was the reply from the three genins before they all moved to the stairs to their designated rooms.
(The Next Day)
"Okay now the training I have in mind is a chakra control exercise it's called tree climbing, The point of this exercise is to channel chakra in to the soles of your feet and stick to the surface of the tree." After explaining Kakashi approached a tree in the wooded area where he had gathered Sasuke and Sakura first thing after breakfast. He stopped in front of a fairly tall tree and made the ram handseal, after finding the correct amount he placed one foot then the other on the base of the tree and began to walk up it as if walking on the ground.
Both Sasuke and Sakura gaped at this display. "Chakra control is one of the most important and fundamental skills a ninja can possess. For example if you take two people with an equal amount of chakra reserves and had them perform the same jutsu, I guarantee that the person who has better control could use that same jutsu more than the person who just poured chakra into it. A person with great chakra control can also use it to enhance other things like their speed or even their strength" After the explanation Kakashi jumped out of the tree and approached his students "Any questions?"
"Why isn't Arashi-san here for this training?" Sakura asked
"I know he hasn't been on the team long and I should have had Arashi introduce himself properly but there hasn't been an opportunity, so I'll tell you a little about him. Arashi was trained outside of the village, he was born in the Land of Fire and prior to joining Konoha six months ago he was a successful bounty hunter. He is beyond this level of training and frankly the only reason he is here now is to gain experience working on a team. If you want to know more than that you will have to ask him. Now approach a tree and get started mark your progress with a kunai" he said pulling his favorite book out of his hip pouch and walking over to a nearby stump to get some reading in. "A word of advice too much chakra and you'll be blown off, too little and you won't stick at all"
It wasn't even ten minutes later that a voice of excitement sounded throughout the clearing.
"Hey Kakashi sensei, this doesn't seem so hard" Sakura said from her spot about 30 feet off the ground sitting on a branch.
"Very good Sakura, now that your break is over complete the exercise and get to the top" he said pointing towards the canopy.
Sakura looked towards the top of the tree and fought back a shiver at the height "Yes sensei"
"When you reach the top I want you to practice running up and down the tree until you can't do it any more then take a break a continue running, the reason it was so easy for you is because your reserves are small the continuous exhaustion will build up your reserves. Sasuke instead of a running start lay down at the base and place your feet on the trunk and find the right amount that will allow you to stick to the tree and then go from there"
(A Week Later)
It has been a week since the Konoha ninjas and their client arrived in Wave. Things have been mostly quite with no sign of Gato or Zabuza. Sakura and Sasuke have both completed the tree walking exercise and were now in rotation with Arashi as body guards for Tazuna. Kakashi was trying to think of a way to track down Zabuza and his accomplice. While all this was going on there was also a very tense atmosphere whenever Inari, Tazunas grandson was around he just seemed to suck all the positive feelings out of the room. All the tension came to a head one evening at the dinner table.
"Why do you try so hard? You'll never beat someone like Gato, he's too strong and you're stupid for even trying"
Arashi turned toward the speaker which turned out to be Inari. "So what does that make your grandfather? Is he stupid for trying to stop Gato? I don't think so, I think that makes him damn courageous to put his life on the line for his home and for his family. He's doing a hell of a lot more than you are."
"What do you know? You don't know what it's like to live here. If you go against Gato you're just going to die like everyone else!" Inari screamed with tears in his eyes.
"I'm tired of hearing your mouth! You think you're the only person to suffer. Try being poisoned, beaten and stabbed on a damn near daily basis. When you weren't being attacked you were being glared at or ignored until the next time someone wanted to vent their frustration out on you. What about your grandfather you don't think he suffers from the fact that every time he leaves you two alone it might be the last time he sees you. You don't think your mom suffers the same way. They suffer but unlike you, your mom still finds the strength to encourage Tazuna to do the right thing. Your nothing but a coward and I'm tired of looking at you" with that said Naruto used the leaf shunshin to leave a stunned and silent audience.
"It is him. Why wouldn't the Hokage tell me he came back?" Kakashi thought to himself.
(With Naruto in the woods)
"That damn brat making me lose my control like that. Fuck it Shadow clone jutsu!" out of the smoke of the jutsu popped about one hundred clones "Alright guys lets burn off some of this energy"
"You got it Boss! Attack!"
"Bring it!"
(The next morning)
Arashi suddenly sprang awake the next morning, it took him a moment to realize he was holding a struggling figure in an arm lock submission hold. He couldn't see a face because his legs were stretched across the face of the person, adding a little more pressure to the hold he growled out "Who are you?"
"I was just collecting herbs when I saw you sleeping, I was just going to wake you" hearing the rushed explanation as well as the soft voice Arashi immediately let the person go. Sitting up he got a good look at the person whose arm he almost broke. He couldn't tell if it was a very feminine guy or a very beautiful girl. Long straight black hair, brown eyes and a choker around the neck. A low cut pink sleeveless kimono and light brown sandals. While Arashi was studying his mystery guest that person was also rethinking approaching the masked shinobi.
'Kami my arm's on fire! What was I thinking approaching him, if he can keep up with Zabuza-sama, then he is indeed very formidable' were the thoughts of the stranger. "I'm sorry for startling you, but it's a very dangerous time in Wave right now, I'm Haku by the way"
"Arashi, sorry for that but it's kind of a reflex" he said gesturing toward the arm Haku was flexing trying to get rid of the tingling sensations "So you said you were out here collecting herbs, you shouldn't venture out alone right now, like you said it's a very dangerous time."
"I usually avoid trouble by coming out in the early morning. I better get back to my collecting" said the now named Haku
"Look since I'm the reason you spilled your herbs why don't I help you collect some more? It'll go a lot faster." Arashi offered
"Thank you, for your kind offer" Haku said smiling a little. They went about collecting various herbs when Haku decided to break the silence "So I noticed your headband you're a ninja right?"
"Yeah, I was out here letting off some steam last night, it was pretty late when I finally calmed down so I decided to sleep out here. So Haku how long have you lived in Wave?"
"Not long my guardian and I travel a lot and we sort of got stuck here." Haku replied
"So what does your guardian do that requires so much travel?"
Haku hesitated for a moment before an answer came to mind "He's a craftsman of a particular art that is always in high demand, I don't practice it myself so don't ask me to explain it to you"
"I hope being stuck in Wave hasn't dulled his skills. It's getting pretty late would you like me to walk you home?" Arashi asked
Haku was quick to respond "No thank you my guardian would not take it well if I showed a stranger where we were staying. Do you mind if I ask you something, as a shinobi why do you fight?"
Arashi took a moment to ponder that question "Well I guess it all started when I was a kid, I didn't have anyone for a while as a child and I always wanted to learn to defend myself, now I fight because it's all I know"
"Do you consider yourself strong?"
"Strong enough now, but I'm not nearly as strong as I want to be" Arashi answered back
"I believe if you have people to protect someone, someone precious to you then you can become truly strong"
"That's a nice belief to have and I think I already have some candidates for precious people. It was nice meeting you Haku get home safely." He said before turning and walking away.
"You as well" Haku said before doing the same.
"Wait! Haku! This is just going to bug me until I know are you a guy or a girl?"
"I'm a guy" Haku said chuckling and then laughing out loud when he noticed the paleness of the masked shinobi before he turned and continued his walk.
At Tazunas house all was quiet at the breakfast table. No one has seen Arashi or Inari since dinner the previous night. Tazuna and Tsunami were worried about the effects the young ninjas words would have on Inari. Sakura was curious about Arashis childhood. Sasuke put the whole episode out of his mind already, if it didn't involve him he or Itachi he didn't care. Kakashi was wondering how to approach Arashi with what he knew about him.
They were all pulled from their thoughts by the sound of footsteps on the stairs. Coming down the stairs was Inari only he was wearing something a lot different than his usual blue overalls and yellow shirt. He was wearing what looked to be an old pair of blue jeans, a white t-shirt with a black and red flannel jacket over top of it, in his hands looked to be a brand new pair of construction boots and around his neck was a white towel similar to what Tazuna himself usually wears around his neck. However the most noticeable thing about little Inari was the determined look in his young eyes. There was a fire there that neither Tazuna nor Tsunami had seen before.
Tsunami was the first to get over her shock "Inari, honey what are you wearing and where do you think you're going?"
"I'm going to help grandpa with the bridge. That Arashi guy was right I haven't done anything to help, all I've been doing is acting like a coward, well from now on I'm going to do my part and help grandpa with the bridge and when he doesn't need me I'll help you around the house. No more crying and no more complaining. It's time to grow up" Inari said his voice never wavering
"There's nothing wrong with crying especially if your happy" the voice of Arashi startled everyone in the room because all attention was on Inari no one saw him enter. "Well Inari if you plan to put in a full day I suggest you eat, you're going to need your energy" following his own advice Arashi sat down at the table and help himself to some eggs, bacon and toast.(I don't know if that's a traditional Japanese breakfast or not so please don't make an issue out of it) Inari sat down next to Arashi and ate the same as he did.
"Kakashi-sensei, I had a little run in this morning I think you should be aware of" he paused until his sensei gave him his full attention "I came across Zabuzas accomplice or I should say his accomplice came across me asleep in a clearing this morning. I know he knew who I was but I didn't let on that I knew who he was. We spoke for a while and I have a way to track them to their hideout Kami willing it doesn't rain."
"Why didn't you just bring him here we could have interrogated him to get Zabuzas location?"
"I would have but after speaking with him, he would have taken that location to the grave. He is extremely loyal to Zabuza not like the Demon Brothers" Arashi explained.
"All right here is the plan for today Sasuke and Sakura will guard Tazuna and Inari, Arashi you leave some clones here to guard Tsunami, while we track the accomplice to the hideout, no matter what be back here no later than noon just in case we have to make any plans" After Kakashi laid out the orders for the day everyone went about their business as usual. Tazuna left to go work on the bridge with Sasuke, Sakura and Inari following behind him. After leaving Tsunami with a couple of clones in the house and a few more spread throughout the property. Arashi lead Kakashi to the spot where he encountered Haku.
It didn't take long for Pakkun, Kakashis summon dog to track Haku back to a treehouse hideout. "No doubt about it the scent is up there" said Pakkun
Pakkun was a miniature pug with brown fur, a blue vest and a Konoha headband worn on top of his head he also wore a white bandage around his right front leg. He had a deep gruff voice and was obsessed with the feeling of his paw pads.
"Thank you Pakkun you can return now" Kakashi said
"See ya Kakashi" and with that he disappeared in a cloud of smoke
"Alright lets check the surroundings for traps and meet back here in an hour" Kakahis ordered
"Yes sensei" Arashi replied and disappeared into the foliage
(One hour later)
"Well anything?" Kakashi asked when he returned from his own recon to find Arashi waiting for him.
"Nothing, either Zabuza is that confident in his skills even after what we did to him or he was never expecting us to come looking for him, how about you?"
"Same here, no traps of any kind not even an early warning system. I still say we approach with caution"
"What's the plan once we make contact?"
"The plan is to get to Gato, I'm guessing Zabuza knows where his main base is. If Zabuza was still part of a hidden village and getting his orders from a Kage then this wouldn't be an option, but since he's in this for the money maybe he can be reasoned with or paid more" Kakashi explained
"Okay, so how do you want to get their attention?"
"With subtlety"
Inside the tree house Haku was applying an herbal poultice to Zabuzas shoulder which he had injured after he was hit into a tree. "Zabuza-sama with one arm broken and with the damage to the other even with my skills it will be at least 3 weeks before you are a challenge to someone of Hatakes skill. If you were to fight against him in this condition you would surely die"
"And not just Kakashi either the blond brat as well!" the Demon of the Mist growled out "If we can't beat them we're going-
Whatever he was going to say was cut off as 3 kunai flew through the front window near the door and stuck in the opposite wall, Zabuza and Haku had enough time to grab his massive sword Kubukiribocho or the decapitating carving knife and race out the door as the tree house exploded.
Landing away from the debris of their hideout Zabuza and Haku looked back at the devastation "Show yourselves you bastards!"
"I thought you said you wanted to get their attention with subtlety?" Arashi groused while stepping out from the shadows of the surrounding forest.
"That was as subtle as a six foot sword being tossed at your head" Kakashi replied back
"Touché"
"You just saved me the trouble of coming to find you Kakashi" Zabuza said taking a better grip on his sword
"Don't make me call your bluff Zabuza, I didn't come here to fight I came to offer a proposition, what would you say to getting paid double what Gato offered to leave the bridge builder and his family alone?"
"You think you can just buy me to walk away? Not a chance!"
"Think about it Zabuza-san, you were at 100% last time we fought, now you can't perform jutsu and with that injury to your sword shoulder your kenjutsu will be less than effective" Arashi cut in
"Gato has the money, which we are going to get once you tell us where his main base is as well as what kind of protections he has" Kakashi said plainly
"Are you really ready to say you killed yourself for Gato and also throw Hakus life away for him too?"
Zabuza thought about his options 'Fight a battle I have no way of winning with my injuries or roll over on Gato. Too hell with it I never liked that pig anyway' heaving a sigh"His main base is on the North edge of the island, he has about 150 mercenaries around the clock, Gato's philosophy is quantity not quality. Gato himself is not hard to spot he looks like a goblin in a three piece suit and sunglasses. Bring the money to the place we had our first fight in the morning"
"You have a deal Zabuza"
"It was nice seeing you again Haku, sorry about the explosive tag"
"Next time try knocking on the door" Haku replied with a grin
(Later that Night)
After leaving Zabuza and Haku the two made their way back to Tazunas home and the meeting with Team 7 and their client. After the update on where things stood with Zabuza, Kakashi ordered everyone except himself and Arashi to stick close to the house for the remainder of the day.
It was now about midnight and Kakashi and Arashi had been studying Gatos base most of the day and it was confirmed as Gato preferring quantity over quality. Irregular and sloppy patrols seemed to be the norm. There seemed to be only three people who held any sway over the mercenaries Gato and his two samurai bodyguards. Whenever they weren't around, the men just sat around trying to out tough each other and drinking.
"So Kakashi-sensei, how do you want to do this?" Arashi asked
"I think a couple of well-placed explosive notes a genjutsu here and there and liberal use of the sharingan will have the desired effect on these goons outside. You handle Gato, as we have seen the only people allowed inside is his two bodyguards so you shouldn't have any trouble, all the same be careful. Wait for my signal and then make your way up to Gato" Kakashi said
"Yes sensei" Arashi replied before he disappeared in the shadows
(With Gato)
Gato was currently sitting back in his expensive leather chair, behind his expensive wooden desk smoking and drinking the finest cigar and sake money could buy. He built his reputation and empire around two human emotions, greed and fear. What one couldn't accomplish the other could. In his office with him are his two bodyguards Zori and Waraji.
Zori was a young man in his mid- 20s, he had bluish white hair and black eyes with lines tattooed beneath them. His partner Waraji was a little older with brown hair and a short beard, he also had an eye patch over his right eye.
"Alright you two once we get word on win that fool Zabuza is going to strike I want you two to go and grab the bridge builders daughter for some extra insurance, just in case the baby demon can't do his part. Bring her to the br-
He was interrupted by an explosion in the court yard that shook his balcony doors.
"What the hell was that?" turning to face the direction of the disturbance he was greeted by a figure running across his balcony about to crash through the glass doors. Letting out a girlish shriek he ducked beneath his desk with enough time to avoid most of the broken glass but also with enough time to see his two bodyguards hit the ground with a knife each protruding from their eyes.
"That's not a very good hiding spot considering I saw you duck under there" a cold voice said above him.
Gato scrambled from beneath the desk and had enough time to see ice blue eyes before a foot connected to his face and his world went black.
Arashi woke Gato from his mini nap the fastest way possible, a hard slap to the face.
"Wha.. what happened?" Gato mumbled as he regained consciousness.
"Hello Gato, you're probably wondering why you're tied face down on your desk with your pants around your ankles and your ass in the air? No it's not because I want you to get use to the feeling of prison life, it's because I want your undivided attention. You see this piece of paper" Arashi asked holding up a standard explosive note "this is what we shinobi call an explosive note, it's pretty self- explanatory right?" he asked. Getting a nod from Gato he continued
"Good, now one of these things place in a strategic spot could level a good sized building, you currently have two shoved up your ass and they don't get more strategic then that" ignoring Gatos begging and whimpering Arashi approached the shipping magnate and knelt down until they were face to face "You only have one chance, I want the deeds and money you stole from the people of wave"
"Okay! Okay! In the basement behind the floor to ceiling map of the Elemental Nations is the vault, there are two key pads on opposite sides of the safe, the one on the left press 137-45-247 on the right 758-12-363 you have to input them at the same time" Gato said desperately
"Thank you for your cooperation" was all Arashi said before heading for the door.
"Wait! Wait! I told you what you wanted to know aren't you going to untie me?"
"I don't recall making that offer" Arashi said coldly before leaving the room. In the hallway ignoring Gatos screams he channel some chakra into the exploding tags currently in the possession of Gato, the resulting explosion sent pieces off Gato into the hallway behind Arashi and pieces through the balcony door leading outside. With that done Arashi made his way towards the basement to complete his part of the mission.
(Two weeks later)
The news of not only Gatos men but Gato himself disappearing overnight spread like wildfire the next day. With Gato gone and the deeds to lost homes and fishing boats turning up the Land of Wave was on its way to prosperity again. Zabuza and Haku also left after we paid them double what Gato had promised them but Zabuza refused to leave without a promise of a rematch sometime in the future. With the spare hands of the rest of Wave and a good deal of clones the Bridge of Hope was completed ahead of schedule. Team 7 now stood on the Bridge of Hope along with Tazuna, Tsunami, Inari and the rest of Wave to see them off.
"Well this is it for us Tazuna, your bridge is built and Gato's not a problem anymore. Even without Gato you're going to have your hands full getting your country back on its feet"
"Yes it's going to be a long haul but thanks to you and your team we're well on our way"
Arashi approached Inari and Tsunami who were standing slightly behind Tazuna. Smiling down at Inari and ruffling his hair a little "You know you're not so bad once I got to know you, a big step to growing up is protecting those people precious to you so keep an eye on your mom and grandpa"
Sniff…sniff "Alright I can do that"
"Ha-ha-ha don't you remember what I said two weeks ago, It's alright to cry if your happy" Arashi said eye smiling at the young boy before he approached Tsunami and wrapped the woman in a hug "He's going to be okay and I'll be back to visit as often as possible"
"Thank you Arashi-kun not just for helping my father and son but for helping me too. I hadn't realized how long I put my own life on hold before you showed me I was still a woman not just a mother and a daughter" Tsunami said blushing at some of the things they did together in the last two weeks.
"The pleasure was mutual Tsunami-chan"
"Arashi time to go!" came the loud call of his pink teammate.
"I'll be seeing you Tsunami-chan that's a promise"
Team 7 left Wave without a backwards glance and once they were on the mainland they used ninja speed to make better time back to the village. Team 7 made it back to the village in half the time it took to get to Wave.
"Halt! What's your business here?" a gate guard asked
"Team 7 returning from C-rank mission" Kakashi stated
"Proceed"
With permission to enter everyone went to the rooftops in order to get to the Hokage Tower quicker and be released for some down time. Upon reaching the Hokage Tower Kakashi turned to his team "I can handle the official report, you three are dismissed until further notice"
"Good I need a drink, I'll see you later Kakashi-sensei" Arashi said before walking off
"Goodbye Kakashi-sesei, I need a hot bath" Sakura said too tired to even ask Sasuke for a date.
"I have some training to do" Sasuke uttered before heading off to the Uchiha district
(With Arashi)
Arashi barely made it past the front door of the Wet Leaf before he was tackled through the doors and back into the streets by a purple and tan blur.
"Arashi-kun" Anko said in a cooing voice "It's been almost a month since we've had some fun together and I've been known to get a little mean when my favorite toys are taken away" Anko said rubbing her face against Arashis masked cheek.
"Anko give me an hour to relax and have a drink and we can have some time together, I really need a drink. Dealing with that Uchiha for a month straight is severely testing my resolve not to cut his throat and go missing nin" Arashi said
"Aww poor baby, okay you've earned your drink then its Anko time" she said pulling him up and ushering him into the bar.
The next morning Naruto and Anko were awakened by a tapping on Ankos window by a messenger hawk. Anko disentangled herself from Narutos arms (Yes she knows) 'He really is a cuddler' going to the window and retrieving the message from the bird Anko scanned it halfway before going to Naruto and giving him the message. "It's from Kakashi he says you have a team meeting in an hour" she told him.
Naruto read through the message himself then used a small fire jutsu to destroy it. "An hour to Kakashi means 4 hours in real time, I'm going to get some more sleep" he said turning over and putting action to his words.
"I have a meeting so I'm going to shower and get going I'll see you later" she said heading towards the bathroom.
Naruto was now making his way towards training ground seven across the roof tops of Konoha when he came across a strange scene below him. His teammate Sakura looked like she was trying to defuse a confrontation with some ninja he had never seen before. One was a guy in a black full body jumpsuit holding a squirming kid in his hand and a blond girl with four pig tails and a battle fan on her back 'Better back her up before she gets herself hurt'
"Look why don't you just drop the kid, assaulting someone in a foreign village is a good way to start a whole lot of trouble over nothing" Sakura said trying to defuse the situation with this sand shinobi.
"Shut up pinkie! This brat ran into me and an apology just won't cut it"
"You better put me down or my nii-san is going to kick your ass!" the squirming boy said
"Oh is that right?" the Sand shinobi asked mockingly
"Kankuro?"
"Wait a second Temari I'm almost done here" the now named Kankuro dismissed his teammates call.
"Kankuro!" his teammate Temari said a little more insistently
"Not now Temari!"
"KANKURO!"
Kankuro turned towards Temari "What!" and froze, standing next to his sister was a ninja about six feet tall with blond cornrows. He had a face mask that started from his nose to his neck and disappeared further down beneath a mesh shirt and an open black and white camouflaged flak jacket. What froze him in place was the fact that this guy had snuck up on him and had his arm across Temaris shoulders but what had his blood freezing was the fact that the hand connected to that same arm was holding a kunai to his sister's throat.
"Arashi!/Nii-san!" came the surprised shout from Sakura and Konohamaru
"How about a trade, you put my brother down nice and gently and I won't open this pretty girls throat like a fountain?" Arashi said casually as if talking about the weather.
Temari shivered at the casual way this person said he would kill her.
"Alright just calm down" Kankuro said lowering the kid to the ground
"I'm perfectly calm, now get away from him" he said taking his arm away from the girl and going over to Konohamaru. "You okay Kon?"
"I'm fine nii-san"
"Good you and your friends get back to class, we'll talk about why you felt the need to ditch later" Konohamaru and his two friends Moegi and Udon took off towards the academy while Arashi turned back to face the Sand ninja. "I would advise you to go to your hotel room and calm down from your journey, I can guarantee another attempt to assault the Hokages grandson will not go unpunished"
Kankuro paled behind his makeup at what he had almost done.
"Sasuke if you and your friend would join us down here we could all be on our way" Arashi said looking into a nearby tree.
Sasuke knew he had been spotted by his teammate long before he had even spoken to him, what surprised him was the reference to a friend 'What the hell is he talking about' Looking around he almost feel out of the tree when he came face to face with an upside down redhead looking him right in the face. 'Damn it! That's the second time that's happened!' Sasuke thought to himself before jumping out of the tree followed by the redhead who appeared in front of his teammates in a sand shunshin.
"Kankuro you're an embarrassment to our village for pulling such a stunt" the redhead said in a monotone voice
"I'm sorry Gaara, I was just
"Shut up or I'll kill you. I'm sorry for his behavior it won't happen again. Come on"
"Wait a second you with the gourd, who are you and what are you doing in our village?" Sasuke asked or more like demanded
"I am Gaara of the Desert here for the chunin exams. What is your name?" the now named Gaara said everything in the same monotone voice never raising or lowering it.
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha" Sasuke replied like he just declared himself Kami.
"I wasn't talking to you peacock. You the blond guy what's your name?"
"Arashi and I will definitely see you in the exams Gaara-san" Arashi said
"I look forward to it" Gaara said before turning and walking away.
"Since you two aren't at the training grounds I suppose Kakashi was on time for once and I missed the meeting. What was it about?"
"He's recommending us for the chunin exams, we just have to sign these slips and turn them in at the academy tomorrow?" Sakura said handing Arashi a form.
"Ha-ha chunin exams, well things just keep getting exciting around here" Arashi remarked to himself.

Flee on SightAN: Warning! Warning! This is a God-like Naruto story, if you do not like stories like this, than please stop here! This story is purely for my own pleasure of having Naruto stomping mud holes in people and walking them dry.
It was a tense group of five people making their way out of a rowboat onto the main island of Wave Country. Knowing they could be attacked at any moment by someone of Zabuzas caliber had everyone on full alert throughout their travels.
The group had resumed the diamond formation with Arashi and Kakashi switching positions with Kakashi on point and Arashi watching every ones back. It was a silent walk even Sakura kept her silence after the ordeal with the Demon Brothers. A rustle in the bushes to the right of the formation had every one tensing even further ready for whatever was to come next. Sasuke was the first to react launching a kunai in the direction of the noise.
"Arashi, check it out" Kakashi ordered
Summoning a kunai from the storage seal on the palm side of his right hand glove Arashi approached the bush cautiously. Looking beyond the bush Arashi relaxed slightly as he saw the kunai stuck in a tree just above the head of a scared white rabbit. He picked up the rabbit and kunai and went back to the group.
"Just a rabbit, here's your kunai" he said handing the weapon back to Sasuke who put it away without a word.
"Hmm? The fur of the rabbit is all wrong for this time of year. It should have a brown coat, this animal was raised indoors" as soon as Kakashi finished speaking a very audible whistle could be heard. "Get down!" Kakashi screamed before dragging Tazuna to the ground with him.
In a blur of motion a massive sword flew over their heads and imbedded itself in a tree on the other side of the road they were traveling on. A moment after the sword was lodged in the tree a figure appeared on the handle.
He was fairly tall muscular man with pale skin, short spiky black hair, brown eyes and almost non-existent eye brows. White bandages covered the lower half of his face and he had a head band turned sideways on his head. He had no shirt on just a thick leather strap most likely used to carry his massive zanbantou. He also had on baggy striped pants, arm and leg warmers.
"Well… well… well if it isn't Copycat Kakashi. When I saw you I knew why the Demon Brothers failed. I'm surprised to see you toting these three brats along with you" the still unnamed swordsman said mockingly.
"Zabuza Momochi 'Demon of the Bloody Mist', to be honest with you the only thing I did to the Demon Brothers was tie them up, these two brats as you call them" he said gesturing towards Arashi and Sasuke "took care of them like they were Academy students" Kakashi said back smugly.
Zabuza narrowed his eyes on first Sasuke and then Arashi before dismissing them "Hmpf! Don't make me laugh Kakashi. Why don't you hand over the old man and I'll do you the favor of letting your students leave with their lives"
Sasuke was clenching and unclenching his fists in anger, first at the meaning less talk going on between the two and then at being so casually dismissed 'Who the hell does this guy think he is? Doesn't he know I'm from the Elite Uchiha clan? I'll show this bastard not to dismiss me!' he was about to charge him when he was brought up short by Kakashi's voice.
"Stay in formation Sasuke! He is beyond your skills at the moment" Kakashi said never taking his eyes of Zabuza.
"The great Kakashi Hatake playing babysitter to a bunch of wet behind the ears twerps, how the mighty have fallen" Zabuza said
"What about your own student Zabuza?" Arashi asked speaking for the first time since Zabuzas appearance.
Zabuzas eyes widened in surprised briefly before he returned to a neutral expression. The shock was not missed by Arashi or Kakashi.
"What student are you talking about boy?" Zabuza asked in a condescending tone
"The one who left the scent of medicinal herbs on the fur of this rabbit" he said holding up the animal he hadn't let go since he picked it up "the same scent of medicinal herbs being carried on the wind in our direction from about 50 yards to our right" he said matter factly.
Zabuza was shocked that this brat had pin pointed Hakus position on scent alone. 'Who is this kid?'
'/If I can't fight him, his student will have to do' /Sasuke thought before he took off into the trees in the direction Arashi had indicated his opponent would be in, ignoring Kakashi and Sakuras shouts.
'Stupid fucking, angst ridden little bastard! If he survives I'll kill the little shit myself' Kakashi thought to himself.
Chuckling to himself Zabuza grabbed the rest of the groups attention "Don't worry I doubt if he is out right killed, if you get past me you might have a chance to save him, so how about we get started?" he said disappearing from the tree with his sword and reappearing standing on a nearby river already finishing a handseal Hidden Mist jutsu. After announcing his jutsu a thick mist rolled in from the river and trees. Completely obscuring every ones view.
Zabuzas voice was projected throughout the mist "Eight points on the human body that guarantees death larynx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular, sub-clavian artery, kidneys and heart which one should I aim for?"
As he was naming the spots he was also increasing his killing intent by the time he got to the heart Tazuna was sweating bullets and was moments from passing out. Sakura wasn't far behind him.
'I don't want to die! I can't take this it feels like my lungs are about to explode! I have to end this now!' with those frantic thoughts Sakura reached for a kunai in her weapons pouch ready to end her torment, when someone stayed her hand. She followed the gloved hand into the piercing blue eyes of Arashi.
"You can get through this Sakura the only way to counter killing intent is with some of your own. Imagine Zabuza just said 'Sasuke was gay'" Arashi stepped back and nodded his head as a fire was lit in Sakuras eyes as she released enough killing intent to take her mind of killing herself.
"Good job both of you. Now enough with the hide and seek Zabuza" Kakashi said
"Your right, that is enough because this game is over" Zabuza said looming up behind Tazuna with his sword above his head about to bring it down on the startled bridge builder "You're finished!" he said bringing his weapon down.
SQUELCH!
Drip…drip... drip "Water clone!" Kakashi exclaimed as Arashi pulled Tazuna and Sakura out of the immediate area of combat so they wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.
"You didn't think it would that easy, did you Kakashi?" Zabuza said appearing behind Kakashi cutting him in half only for the body to disperse into water. "What!" he said surprised before he stilled as he felt a knife at his throat.
"I didn't expect it to be easy Zabuza but apparently you did" Kakashi said appearing behind the startled swordsman with his Sharingan eye exposed. Zabuza turned slightly to look at him.
"Ah the Sharingan, you copied my jutsu even through the mist. I'm honored you have the need to use it."
"Good you can take that honor with you to the afterlife" Kakashi said and stabbed Zabuza in the throat only for it to be another water clone.
Zabuza came out of the foliage in a burst of speed prepared to kick Kakashi into the river when his leg was blocked by a forearm and his ankle was grabbed in a vice like grip. He had enough time to be surprised at the fact that the blond brat was the one to block his attack before Kakashi delivered a side kick square to his chest that sent him skidding along the ground and into the river himself.
"I was wondering when you would come out of hiding, I was about to come in and get you" Arashi said
"How did you know I was hiding?"
Tapping his ear slightly "Water clones don't have heartbeats" he said simply.
"You're starting to be a real pain in the ass boy" Zabuza growled out before getting to his feet and going through a chain of handseals as Kakashi appeared before him.
Kakashi was also going through handseals. They both finished at the same time announcing their jutsu.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu"
The two massive water dragons clashed together and fought for dominance briefly before they both dispersed. "Is that all you can do is copy me like a damn monkey!" he yelled in anger. That moment of anger caused him as Arashi took it as an opportunity to appear next to a startled Zabuza with a bo staff swinging it into his arm.
CRACK!
The sound of a broken bone could be heard throughout the clearing as Zabuza was launched into a tree. "AHHH!"
Arashi was running across the water about to finish the fight with an overhead strike to crush Zabuzas skull when he pulled up short to avoid senbon needles that were thrown at him.
Appearing next to Zabuza was what appeared to be a Mist Hunter Ninja if the mask was anything to go by. "This is not over Konoha ninja" a soft voice behind the mask said before Zabuza was scooped up and they both left in a water shunshin.
"Damn it they got away, Kakashi-sensei, how you doing?" Arashi asked as he made he was back to the shore where Kakashi was already waiting.
"Better than I expected after uncovering the sharingan, it drains my chakra faster than I would like. Anymore big jutsu after that water dragon would have had me laid out with chakra exhaustion." He said before turning to Tazuna "Even though they're gone I'm not comfortable out here in the open. We'll collect Sasuke then make our way to Tazuna's home."
(Later that night)
After arriving at Tazunas home and being introduced to his family, his daughter Tsunami was a beautiful woman in her late 20s with long black hair and soulful dark eyes. His grandson Inari was brooding child of about 8 or 9 with black hair covered with a white bucket hat, dark eyes, green overalls with a yellow shirt beneath it. When everyone was introduced they gathered in the living room where Sakura was currently tending to Sasukes wounds minor though they were. When we found him he looked like a porcupine with senbon needles sticking out all around his body, he even had a few stuck in his ass.
"First of all, Sasuke if you ever run off on your own again without orders from me the next we have a mission outside the village I'll send you back to the Academy for remedial classes on team work do you understand?" Kakashi said in a no-nonsense tone
"Hn" was Sasukes reply before he was hoisted in the air by his pissed off teacher by his throat.
"You left the formation and left an opening that could have caused us the client's life. If the civilian council didn't kiss your ass you would be bounced from the ranks for a stunt like that. I will not pander to your already massive ego and superiority complex you will either follow orders or you will not survive in the field with me" Kakashi growled out "and when I speak to you, you will open your mouth and respond with words, you will not grunt at me like I'm one of your fucking fans. Do you understand me genin?"
"Ye..s s..ei" Sasuke said as clear as possible
"What!"
"Yes Sensei!" came Sasukes strangled voice before Kakashi dropped him and moved back to his seat while Sasuke took greedy gulps of air.
"I apologize for that scene. Anyway we're not done with Zabuza and his tagalong yet. They managed to get away but with Zabuzas broken arm he won't be combat ready for quite some time unless he calls in reinforcements. Before that happens we are going to track him down and finish what we started and Gato as well. Before all that though Sasuke tell me how Zabuzas student fought"
Coughing slightly "Long range fighter" Sasukes voice came out almost as a whisper "He kept to the trees and surrounding bushes and launched senbons from my blind spots, he's fast but he never used any jutsu so I don't know what element he uses."
"Alright get some rest, tomorrow Sasuke, Sakura I'll be upping your training, Arashi you'll go to the bridge with Tazuna and guard him until I relieve you"
"Yes sensei" was the reply from the three genins before they all moved to the stairs to their designated rooms.
(The Next Day)
"Okay now the training I have in mind is a chakra control exercise it's called tree climbing, The point of this exercise is to channel chakra in to the soles of your feet and stick to the surface of the tree." After explaining Kakashi approached a tree in the wooded area where he had gathered Sasuke and Sakura first thing after breakfast. He stopped in front of a fairly tall tree and made the ram handseal, after finding the correct amount he placed one foot then the other on the base of the tree and began to walk up it as if walking on the ground.
Both Sasuke and Sakura gaped at this display. "Chakra control is one of the most important and fundamental skills a ninja can possess. For example if you take two people with an equal amount of chakra reserves and had them perform the same jutsu, I guarantee that the person who has better control could use that same jutsu more than the person who just poured chakra into it. A person with great chakra control can also use it to enhance other things like their speed or even their strength" After the explanation Kakashi jumped out of the tree and approached his students "Any questions?"
"Why isn't Arashi-san here for this training?" Sakura asked
"I know he hasn't been on the team long and I should have had Arashi introduce himself properly but there hasn't been an opportunity, so I'll tell you a little about him. Arashi was trained outside of the village, he was born in the Land of Fire and prior to joining Konoha six months ago he was a successful bounty hunter. He is beyond this level of training and frankly the only reason he is here now is to gain experience working on a team. If you want to know more than that you will have to ask him. Now approach a tree and get started mark your progress with a kunai" he said pulling his favorite book out of his hip pouch and walking over to a nearby stump to get some reading in. "A word of advice too much chakra and you'll be blown off, too little and you won't stick at all"
It wasn't even ten minutes later that a voice of excitement sounded throughout the clearing.
"Hey Kakashi sensei, this doesn't seem so hard" Sakura said from her spot about 30 feet off the ground sitting on a branch.
"Very good Sakura, now that your break is over complete the exercise and get to the top" he said pointing towards the canopy.
Sakura looked towards the top of the tree and fought back a shiver at the height "Yes sensei"
"When you reach the top I want you to practice running up and down the tree until you can't do it any more then take a break a continue running, the reason it was so easy for you is because your reserves are small the continuous exhaustion will build up your reserves. Sasuke instead of a running start lay down at the base and place your feet on the trunk and find the right amount that will allow you to stick to the tree and then go from there"
(A Week Later)
It has been a week since the Konoha ninjas and their client arrived in Wave. Things have been mostly quite with no sign of Gato or Zabuza. Sakura and Sasuke have both completed the tree walking exercise and were now in rotation with Arashi as body guards for Tazuna. Kakashi was trying to think of a way to track down Zabuza and his accomplice. While all this was going on there was also a very tense atmosphere whenever Inari, Tazunas grandson was around he just seemed to suck all the positive feelings out of the room. All the tension came to a head one evening at the dinner table.
"Why do you try so hard? You'll never beat someone like Gato, he's too strong and you're stupid for even trying"
Arashi turned toward the speaker which turned out to be Inari. "So what does that make your grandfather? Is he stupid for trying to stop Gato? I don't think so, I think that makes him damn courageous to put his life on the line for his home and for his family. He's doing a hell of a lot more than you are."
"What do you know? You don't know what it's like to live here. If you go against Gato you're just going to die like everyone else!" Inari screamed with tears in his eyes.
"I'm tired of hearing your mouth! You think you're the only person to suffer. Try being poisoned, beaten and stabbed on a damn near daily basis. When you weren't being attacked you were being glared at or ignored until the next time someone wanted to vent their frustration out on you. What about your grandfather you don't think he suffers from the fact that every time he leaves you two alone it might be the last time he sees you. You don't think your mom suffers the same way. They suffer but unlike you, your mom still finds the strength to encourage Tazuna to do the right thing. Your nothing but a coward and I'm tired of looking at you" with that said Naruto used the leaf shunshin to leave a stunned and silent audience.
"It is him. Why wouldn't the Hokage tell me he came back?" Kakashi thought to himself.
(With Naruto in the woods)
"That damn brat making me lose my control like that. Fuck it Shadow clone jutsu!" out of the smoke of the jutsu popped about one hundred clones "Alright guys lets burn off some of this energy"
"You got it Boss! Attack!"
"Bring it!"
(The next morning)
Arashi suddenly sprang awake the next morning, it took him a moment to realize he was holding a struggling figure in an arm lock submission hold. He couldn't see a face because his legs were stretched across the face of the person, adding a little more pressure to the hold he growled out "Who are you?"
"I was just collecting herbs when I saw you sleeping, I was just going to wake you" hearing the rushed explanation as well as the soft voice Arashi immediately let the person go. Sitting up he got a good look at the person whose arm he almost broke. He couldn't tell if it was a very feminine guy or a very beautiful girl. Long straight black hair, brown eyes and a choker around the neck. A low cut pink sleeveless kimono and light brown sandals. While Arashi was studying his mystery guest that person was also rethinking approaching the masked shinobi.
'Kami my arm's on fire! What was I thinking approaching him, if he can keep up with Zabuza-sama, then he is indeed very formidable' were the thoughts of the stranger. "I'm sorry for startling you, but it's a very dangerous time in Wave right now, I'm Haku by the way"
"Arashi, sorry for that but it's kind of a reflex" he said gesturing toward the arm Haku was flexing trying to get rid of the tingling sensations "So you said you were out here collecting herbs, you shouldn't venture out alone right now, like you said it's a very dangerous time."
"I usually avoid trouble by coming out in the early morning. I better get back to my collecting" said the now named Haku
"Look since I'm the reason you spilled your herbs why don't I help you collect some more? It'll go a lot faster." Arashi offered
"Thank you, for your kind offer" Haku said smiling a little. They went about collecting various herbs when Haku decided to break the silence "So I noticed your headband you're a ninja right?"
"Yeah, I was out here letting off some steam last night, it was pretty late when I finally calmed down so I decided to sleep out here. So Haku how long have you lived in Wave?"
"Not long my guardian and I travel a lot and we sort of got stuck here." Haku replied
"So what does your guardian do that requires so much travel?"
Haku hesitated for a moment before an answer came to mind "He's a craftsman of a particular art that is always in high demand, I don't practice it myself so don't ask me to explain it to you"
"I hope being stuck in Wave hasn't dulled his skills. It's getting pretty late would you like me to walk you home?" Arashi asked
Haku was quick to respond "No thank you my guardian would not take it well if I showed a stranger where we were staying. Do you mind if I ask you something, as a shinobi why do you fight?"
Arashi took a moment to ponder that question "Well I guess it all started when I was a kid, I didn't have anyone for a while as a child and I always wanted to learn to defend myself, now I fight because it's all I know"
"Do you consider yourself strong?"
"Strong enough now, but I'm not nearly as strong as I want to be" Arashi answered back
"I believe if you have people to protect someone, someone precious to you then you can become truly strong"
"That's a nice belief to have and I think I already have some candidates for precious people. It was nice meeting you Haku get home safely." He said before turning and walking away.
"You as well" Haku said before doing the same.
"Wait! Haku! This is just going to bug me until I know are you a guy or a girl?"
"I'm a guy" Haku said chuckling and then laughing out loud when he noticed the paleness of the masked shinobi before he turned and continued his walk.
At Tazunas house all was quiet at the breakfast table. No one has seen Arashi or Inari since dinner the previous night. Tazuna and Tsunami were worried about the effects the young ninjas words would have on Inari. Sakura was curious about Arashis childhood. Sasuke put the whole episode out of his mind already, if it didn't involve him he or Itachi he didn't care. Kakashi was wondering how to approach Arashi with what he knew about him.
They were all pulled from their thoughts by the sound of footsteps on the stairs. Coming down the stairs was Inari only he was wearing something a lot different than his usual blue overalls and yellow shirt. He was wearing what looked to be an old pair of blue jeans, a white t-shirt with a black and red flannel jacket over top of it, in his hands looked to be a brand new pair of construction boots and around his neck was a white towel similar to what Tazuna himself usually wears around his neck. However the most noticeable thing about little Inari was the determined look in his young eyes. There was a fire there that neither Tazuna nor Tsunami had seen before.
Tsunami was the first to get over her shock "Inari, honey what are you wearing and where do you think you're going?"
"I'm going to help grandpa with the bridge. That Arashi guy was right I haven't done anything to help, all I've been doing is acting like a coward, well from now on I'm going to do my part and help grandpa with the bridge and when he doesn't need me I'll help you around the house. No more crying and no more complaining. It's time to grow up" Inari said his voice never wavering
"There's nothing wrong with crying especially if your happy" the voice of Arashi startled everyone in the room because all attention was on Inari no one saw him enter. "Well Inari if you plan to put in a full day I suggest you eat, you're going to need your energy" following his own advice Arashi sat down at the table and help himself to some eggs, bacon and toast.(I don't know if that's a traditional Japanese breakfast or not so please don't make an issue out of it) Inari sat down next to Arashi and ate the same as he did.
"Kakashi-sensei, I had a little run in this morning I think you should be aware of" he paused until his sensei gave him his full attention "I came across Zabuzas accomplice or I should say his accomplice came across me asleep in a clearing this morning. I know he knew who I was but I didn't let on that I knew who he was. We spoke for a while and I have a way to track them to their hideout Kami willing it doesn't rain."
"Why didn't you just bring him here we could have interrogated him to get Zabuzas location?"
"I would have but after speaking with him, he would have taken that location to the grave. He is extremely loyal to Zabuza not like the Demon Brothers" Arashi explained.
"All right here is the plan for today Sasuke and Sakura will guard Tazuna and Inari, Arashi you leave some clones here to guard Tsunami, while we track the accomplice to the hideout, no matter what be back here no later than noon just in case we have to make any plans" After Kakashi laid out the orders for the day everyone went about their business as usual. Tazuna left to go work on the bridge with Sasuke, Sakura and Inari following behind him. After leaving Tsunami with a couple of clones in the house and a few more spread throughout the property. Arashi lead Kakashi to the spot where he encountered Haku.
It didn't take long for Pakkun, Kakashis summon dog to track Haku back to a treehouse hideout. "No doubt about it the scent is up there" said Pakkun
Pakkun was a miniature pug with brown fur, a blue vest and a Konoha headband worn on top of his head he also wore a white bandage around his right front leg. He had a deep gruff voice and was obsessed with the feeling of his paw pads.
"Thank you Pakkun you can return now" Kakashi said
"See ya Kakashi" and with that he disappeared in a cloud of smoke
"Alright lets check the surroundings for traps and meet back here in an hour" Kakahis ordered
"Yes sensei" Arashi replied and disappeared into the foliage
(One hour later)
"Well anything?" Kakashi asked when he returned from his own recon to find Arashi waiting for him.
"Nothing, either Zabuza is that confident in his skills even after what we did to him or he was never expecting us to come looking for him, how about you?"
"Same here, no traps of any kind not even an early warning system. I still say we approach with caution"
"What's the plan once we make contact?"
"The plan is to get to Gato, I'm guessing Zabuza knows where his main base is. If Zabuza was still part of a hidden village and getting his orders from a Kage then this wouldn't be an option, but since he's in this for the money maybe he can be reasoned with or paid more" Kakashi explained
"Okay, so how do you want to get their attention?"
"With subtlety"
Inside the tree house Haku was applying an herbal poultice to Zabuzas shoulder which he had injured after he was hit into a tree. "Zabuza-sama with one arm broken and with the damage to the other even with my skills it will be at least 3 weeks before you are a challenge to someone of Hatakes skill. If you were to fight against him in this condition you would surely die"
"And not just Kakashi either the blond brat as well!" the Demon of the Mist growled out "If we can't beat them we're going-
Whatever he was going to say was cut off as 3 kunai flew through the front window near the door and stuck in the opposite wall, Zabuza and Haku had enough time to grab his massive sword Kubukiribocho or the decapitating carving knife and race out the door as the tree house exploded.
Landing away from the debris of their hideout Zabuza and Haku looked back at the devastation "Show yourselves you bastards!"
"I thought you said you wanted to get their attention with subtlety?" Arashi groused while stepping out from the shadows of the surrounding forest.
"That was as subtle as a six foot sword being tossed at your head" Kakashi replied back
"Touché"
"You just saved me the trouble of coming to find you Kakashi" Zabuza said taking a better grip on his sword
"Don't make me call your bluff Zabuza, I didn't come here to fight I came to offer a proposition, what would you say to getting paid double what Gato offered to leave the bridge builder and his family alone?"
"You think you can just buy me to walk away? Not a chance!"
"Think about it Zabuza-san, you were at 100% last time we fought, now you can't perform jutsu and with that injury to your sword shoulder your kenjutsu will be less than effective" Arashi cut in
"Gato has the money, which we are going to get once you tell us where his main base is as well as what kind of protections he has" Kakashi said plainly
"Are you really ready to say you killed yourself for Gato and also throw Hakus life away for him too?"
Zabuza thought about his options 'Fight a battle I have no way of winning with my injuries or roll over on Gato. Too hell with it I never liked that pig anyway' heaving a sigh"His main base is on the North edge of the island, he has about 150 mercenaries around the clock, Gato's philosophy is quantity not quality. Gato himself is not hard to spot he looks like a goblin in a three piece suit and sunglasses. Bring the money to the place we had our first fight in the morning"
"You have a deal Zabuza"
"It was nice seeing you again Haku, sorry about the explosive tag"
"Next time try knocking on the door" Haku replied with a grin
(Later that Night)
After leaving Zabuza and Haku the two made their way back to Tazunas home and the meeting with Team 7 and their client. After the update on where things stood with Zabuza, Kakashi ordered everyone except himself and Arashi to stick close to the house for the remainder of the day.
It was now about midnight and Kakashi and Arashi had been studying Gatos base most of the day and it was confirmed as Gato preferring quantity over quality. Irregular and sloppy patrols seemed to be the norm. There seemed to be only three people who held any sway over the mercenaries Gato and his two samurai bodyguards. Whenever they weren't around, the men just sat around trying to out tough each other and drinking.
"So Kakashi-sensei, how do you want to do this?" Arashi asked
"I think a couple of well-placed explosive notes a genjutsu here and there and liberal use of the sharingan will have the desired effect on these goons outside. You handle Gato, as we have seen the only people allowed inside is his two bodyguards so you shouldn't have any trouble, all the same be careful. Wait for my signal and then make your way up to Gato" Kakashi said
"Yes sensei" Arashi replied before he disappeared in the shadows
(With Gato)
Gato was currently sitting back in his expensive leather chair, behind his expensive wooden desk smoking and drinking the finest cigar and sake money could buy. He built his reputation and empire around two human emotions, greed and fear. What one couldn't accomplish the other could. In his office with him are his two bodyguards Zori and Waraji.
Zori was a young man in his mid- 20s, he had bluish white hair and black eyes with lines tattooed beneath them. His partner Waraji was a little older with brown hair and a short beard, he also had an eye patch over his right eye.
"Alright you two once we get word on win that fool Zabuza is going to strike I want you two to go and grab the bridge builders daughter for some extra insurance, just in case the baby demon can't do his part. Bring her to the br-
He was interrupted by an explosion in the court yard that shook his balcony doors.
"What the hell was that?" turning to face the direction of the disturbance he was greeted by a figure running across his balcony about to crash through the glass doors. Letting out a girlish shriek he ducked beneath his desk with enough time to avoid most of the broken glass but also with enough time to see his two bodyguards hit the ground with a knife each protruding from their eyes.
"That's not a very good hiding spot considering I saw you duck under there" a cold voice said above him.
Gato scrambled from beneath the desk and had enough time to see ice blue eyes before a foot connected to his face and his world went black.
Arashi woke Gato from his mini nap the fastest way possible, a hard slap to the face.
"Wha.. what happened?" Gato mumbled as he regained consciousness.
"Hello Gato, you're probably wondering why you're tied face down on your desk with your pants around your ankles and your ass in the air? No it's not because I want you to get use to the feeling of prison life, it's because I want your undivided attention. You see this piece of paper" Arashi asked holding up a standard explosive note "this is what we shinobi call an explosive note, it's pretty self- explanatory right?" he asked. Getting a nod from Gato he continued
"Good, now one of these things place in a strategic spot could level a good sized building, you currently have two shoved up your ass and they don't get more strategic then that" ignoring Gatos begging and whimpering Arashi approached the shipping magnate and knelt down until they were face to face "You only have one chance, I want the deeds and money you stole from the people of wave"
"Okay! Okay! In the basement behind the floor to ceiling map of the Elemental Nations is the vault, there are two key pads on opposite sides of the safe, the one on the left press 137-45-247 on the right 758-12-363 you have to input them at the same time" Gato said desperately
"Thank you for your cooperation" was all Arashi said before heading for the door.
"Wait! Wait! I told you what you wanted to know aren't you going to untie me?"
"I don't recall making that offer" Arashi said coldly before leaving the room. In the hallway ignoring Gatos screams he channel some chakra into the exploding tags currently in the possession of Gato, the resulting explosion sent pieces off Gato into the hallway behind Arashi and pieces through the balcony door leading outside. With that done Arashi made his way towards the basement to complete his part of the mission.
(Two weeks later)
The news of not only Gatos men but Gato himself disappearing overnight spread like wildfire the next day. With Gato gone and the deeds to lost homes and fishing boats turning up the Land of Wave was on its way to prosperity again. Zabuza and Haku also left after we paid them double what Gato had promised them but Zabuza refused to leave without a promise of a rematch sometime in the future. With the spare hands of the rest of Wave and a good deal of clones the Bridge of Hope was completed ahead of schedule. Team 7 now stood on the Bridge of Hope along with Tazuna, Tsunami, Inari and the rest of Wave to see them off.
"Well this is it for us Tazuna, your bridge is built and Gato's not a problem anymore. Even without Gato you're going to have your hands full getting your country back on its feet"
"Yes it's going to be a long haul but thanks to you and your team we're well on our way"
Arashi approached Inari and Tsunami who were standing slightly behind Tazuna. Smiling down at Inari and ruffling his hair a little "You know you're not so bad once I got to know you, a big step to growing up is protecting those people precious to you so keep an eye on your mom and grandpa"
Sniff…sniff "Alright I can do that"
"Ha-ha-ha don't you remember what I said two weeks ago, It's alright to cry if your happy" Arashi said eye smiling at the young boy before he approached Tsunami and wrapped the woman in a hug "He's going to be okay and I'll be back to visit as often as possible"
"Thank you Arashi-kun not just for helping my father and son but for helping me too. I hadn't realized how long I put my own life on hold before you showed me I was still a woman not just a mother and a daughter" Tsunami said blushing at some of the things they did together in the last two weeks.
"The pleasure was mutual Tsunami-chan"
"Arashi time to go!" came the loud call of his pink teammate.
"I'll be seeing you Tsunami-chan that's a promise"
Team 7 left Wave without a backwards glance and once they were on the mainland they used ninja speed to make better time back to the village. Team 7 made it back to the village in half the time it took to get to Wave.
"Halt! What's your business here?" a gate guard asked
"Team 7 returning from C-rank mission" Kakashi stated
"Proceed"
With permission to enter everyone went to the rooftops in order to get to the Hokage Tower quicker and be released for some down time. Upon reaching the Hokage Tower Kakashi turned to his team "I can handle the official report, you three are dismissed until further notice"
"Good I need a drink, I'll see you later Kakashi-sensei" Arashi said before walking off
"Goodbye Kakashi-sesei, I need a hot bath" Sakura said too tired to even ask Sasuke for a date.
"I have some training to do" Sasuke uttered before heading off to the Uchiha district
(With Arashi)
Arashi barely made it past the front door of the Wet Leaf before he was tackled through the doors and back into the streets by a purple and tan blur.
"Arashi-kun" Anko said in a cooing voice "It's been almost a month since we've had some fun together and I've been known to get a little mean when my favorite toys are taken away" Anko said rubbing her face against Arashis masked cheek.
"Anko give me an hour to relax and have a drink and we can have some time together, I really need a drink. Dealing with that Uchiha for a month straight is severely testing my resolve not to cut his throat and go missing nin" Arashi said
"Aww poor baby, okay you've earned your drink then its Anko time" she said pulling him up and ushering him into the bar.
The next morning Naruto and Anko were awakened by a tapping on Ankos window by a messenger hawk. Anko disentangled herself from Narutos arms (Yes she knows) 'He really is a cuddler' going to the window and retrieving the message from the bird Anko scanned it halfway before going to Naruto and giving him the message. "It's from Kakashi he says you have a team meeting in an hour" she told him.
Naruto read through the message himself then used a small fire jutsu to destroy it. "An hour to Kakashi means 4 hours in real time, I'm going to get some more sleep" he said turning over and putting action to his words.
"I have a meeting so I'm going to shower and get going I'll see you later" she said heading towards the bathroom.
Naruto was now making his way towards training ground seven across the roof tops of Konoha when he came across a strange scene below him. His teammate Sakura looked like she was trying to defuse a confrontation with some ninja he had never seen before. One was a guy in a black full body jumpsuit holding a squirming kid in his hand and a blond girl with four pig tails and a battle fan on her back 'Better back her up before she gets herself hurt'
"Look why don't you just drop the kid, assaulting someone in a foreign village is a good way to start a whole lot of trouble over nothing" Sakura said trying to defuse the situation with this sand shinobi.
"Shut up pinkie! This brat ran into me and an apology just won't cut it"
"You better put me down or my nii-san is going to kick your ass!" the squirming boy said
"Oh is that right?" the Sand shinobi asked mockingly
"Kankuro?"
"Wait a second Temari I'm almost done here" the now named Kankuro dismissed his teammates call.
"Kankuro!" his teammate Temari said a little more insistently
"Not now Temari!"
"KANKURO!"
Kankuro turned towards Temari "What!" and froze, standing next to his sister was a ninja about six feet tall with blond cornrows. He had a face mask that started from his nose to his neck and disappeared further down beneath a mesh shirt and an open black and white camouflaged flak jacket. What froze him in place was the fact that this guy had snuck up on him and had his arm across Temaris shoulders but what had his blood freezing was the fact that the hand connected to that same arm was holding a kunai to his sister's throat.
"Arashi!/Nii-san!" came the surprised shout from Sakura and Konohamaru
"How about a trade, you put my brother down nice and gently and I won't open this pretty girls throat like a fountain?" Arashi said casually as if talking about the weather.
Temari shivered at the casual way this person said he would kill her.
"Alright just calm down" Kankuro said lowering the kid to the ground
"I'm perfectly calm, now get away from him" he said taking his arm away from the girl and going over to Konohamaru. "You okay Kon?"
"I'm fine nii-san"
"Good you and your friends get back to class, we'll talk about why you felt the need to ditch later" Konohamaru and his two friends Moegi and Udon took off towards the academy while Arashi turned back to face the Sand ninja. "I would advise you to go to your hotel room and calm down from your journey, I can guarantee another attempt to assault the Hokages grandson will not go unpunished"
Kankuro paled behind his makeup at what he had almost done.
"Sasuke if you and your friend would join us down here we could all be on our way" Arashi said looking into a nearby tree.
Sasuke knew he had been spotted by his teammate long before he had even spoken to him, what surprised him was the reference to a friend 'What the hell is he talking about' Looking around he almost feel out of the tree when he came face to face with an upside down redhead looking him right in the face. 'Damn it! That's the second time that's happened!' Sasuke thought to himself before jumping out of the tree followed by the redhead who appeared in front of his teammates in a sand shunshin.
"Kankuro you're an embarrassment to our village for pulling such a stunt" the redhead said in a monotone voice
"I'm sorry Gaara, I was just
"Shut up or I'll kill you. I'm sorry for his behavior it won't happen again. Come on"
"Wait a second you with the gourd, who are you and what are you doing in our village?" Sasuke asked or more like demanded
"I am Gaara of the Desert here for the chunin exams. What is your name?" the now named Gaara said everything in the same monotone voice never raising or lowering it.
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha" Sasuke replied like he just declared himself Kami.
"I wasn't talking to you peacock. You the blond guy what's your name?"
"Arashi and I will definitely see you in the exams Gaara-san" Arashi said
"I look forward to it" Gaara said before turning and walking away.
"Since you two aren't at the training grounds I suppose Kakashi was on time for once and I missed the meeting. What was it about?"
"He's recommending us for the chunin exams, we just have to sign these slips and turn them in at the academy tomorrow?" Sakura said handing Arashi a form.
"Ha-ha chunin exams, well things just keep getting exciting around here" Arashi remarked to himself.
