Angel of Death
Chapter 7
Hyuga Hiashi frowned as he sat back within the closed confines of his office. His Byakugan activated the man looked through the very walls of his home focused on the form of his eldest daughter who was currently practicing archery. It was something that she had picked up two years ago and the girl had shown surprising skill with it. Of course the elders had scoffed at her idea for recreation but had left her alone anyway. That however wasn’t the cause of his frown, what was the cause were the pictures of himself and the elder council and even her cousin Neji that she had set up with each on full of holes.
This wasn’t the first time he’d seen such a sight but even still it brought a frown, especially since every time the girl would start with the eyes. It was surprising for him when he realized that his daughter now hated him, but with all he had done it was too late to change that fact. He hadn’t even realized how much hatred she had for him and the elders until one of the cleaners had brought him her diary after stumbling upon it while the girl was at Kurenei’s. He had been horrified to see that she actually wished him dead, wished he’d done the honorable thing and killed himself instead of forcing his brother to die in his place. Even more were some of the entrants where she stated she ‘wished her kidnapping would have succeeded believing it would’ve been better than growing up in an abusive clan with heartless bastards at the head’. Further reading had shown him his errors when raising her as the girl honestly didn’t like violence instead like her mother she wanted to be a medic and had even begun making strides in the field. He sighed wishing that he could’ve seen something else like she had a crush on some boy like other girls. Instead though all she did was vent within those pages saying the things she couldn’t bring herself to say aloud as it was apparently ‘unladylike and unbefitting of an heiress’ words she had obviously picked up from her mother. Of course he’d also seen some of the things she wished to do, disbanding the council and banning usage of the seal while destroying all notes of it included. Of course if he knew that it was only her venting diary that had been found and not the real one he’d be more relieved. Alas he didn’t know that and as such could only continue to watch the girl as she went about what he saw to be her form of stress relief. Sighing and deactivating his doujutsu the man made a silent vow to make things right with his daughter and snatch all the power away from his elder council. Within the Hokage’s office two old men sat quietly as they drunk the tea before them. The silence between them was a companionable one as despite their positions the two of them had been friends for quite some time. The first was obviously the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hizuren who sat within his seat behind his desk. The other however was a man that rarely could afford to visit the village.
The man was about the same age as the Hokage and wore a pair of red and black robes on his person. He was rather portly in appearance but the Hokage knew better than to let such a thing cause him to underestimate the man before him. His hair was grey and the top was nearly completely bald. Still what was left had been pulled into a topknot held in place by a red string while just behind the topknot a golden ceremonial hairpiece in the shape of a flame was placed. This man was Iroh, the Lord of the Land of Fire and the man once called ‘Dragon of the West’.
Naruto stood atop the water behind Tazuna’s home going through kata’s with his new blade. It was odd that he could wield it as if it was weightless yet he knew that it was actually quite heavy. To anyone watching him however his blade would appear as a mere blur as he diced up his imaginary enemies. Finally he stopped and sheathed the blade as he stood straight up staring outwards into the horizon. “How long are you going to stand there?” questioned the blond. A moment later there was a whirl of leaves and Kakashi appeared beside him his book absent. Naruto didn’t even look at him but he could tell the man was tense if only slightly. He’d known the man was watching even while he was talking with Haku and Kimimaru, hell they themselves had known he was there; it was the reason they left to give him a chance to speak with the man. “You have questions.” It was a statement more than a question. As Naruto turned so that they were standing face to face Kakashi froze. As he looked at the boy who looked at him with calm but serious blue eyes it was like looking into the eyes of another person, one he’d known long ago. Kakashi felt his heart stop as he saw similarities between his student and the man that he’d lost. Both had the same deep blue eyes and blonde hair, Naruto’s were larger, but that was of no consequence, his face was a bit rounder as well. Still though Naruto would pass as that man’s little brother if the two stood beside each other they looked so similar. The true difference was the three markings that lined Naruto’s face, giving him a more primal look. ‘Uzumaki Naruto.’ Thought the man as pieces slid in place. He’d known an Uzumaki a woman who’d spent plenty of time around his sensei, the man who the blonde so favored. The shape of Naruto’s face matched hers as did the size of his eyes. His attitude also matched hers majority of the time. Regardless the man was quick to push the discovery aside as they boy raised a curious eyebrow at him. “When you left last night I had a pair of summons follow after you.” Said Kakashi finally. “I was aware.” Said the blonde surprising Kakashi slightly. “Your chakra spiked as I was leaving, enough to indicate a small summon. I was already aware of the summon contract you hold. I saw the dog while I was in town.” Explained the blonde his pupils slitting briefly before returning to normal. “You allowed yourself to be tracked.” Stated Kakashi. “Yes. I knew you held suspicions of me, this was my way of answering those questions with the least amount of hassle.” Explained the blonde. “You were an assassin.” Said the jounin with narrowed eyes. “Yes. During my travels I was trapped in Tetsu no Kuni during their civil war. I decided to lend my aid to the side I could support. However my role is only known to those of the highest level there, technically I don’t exist. Subsequently I wasn’t a part of their military merely someone with a common goal.” Explained the blonde. “And in Kiri?” questioned the blonde. “Kiri was more personal. I grew up with Haku and Kimimaru. Despite our blood we are siblings, they wished for my aid and that was enough for me. That was what we believed family is for, am I mistaken?” “No you are correct. Anyone would do the same in that instance for family, anyone with a heart at least.” Said Kakashi with a sigh. “Who was the woman you spoke to last night?” questioned the man after a moment. “She was a summon; the raven that’s been with me.” “You hold a contract for ravens?” questioned Kakashi in surprise. “It’s new. I was rewarded it for a service I did. However they choose their summoners as it is a celestial contract.” Explained the blonde. “Celestial?” questioned Kakashi. “You don’t know? Summons consist of two classes Dire Beast, the more common such as your dogs, the toads and the slugs. Celestials are a higher class each clan representing a section of Kami’s court. The Karasu clan, are the messengers of Shinigami-sama, the Kitsune are the army of Inari. There is also the White Tiger clan and the Dragon Clan. These are the most powerful of this class. The Bakeneko, Lava Monkey, and Tanuki clans are also Celestial Summons.” “And what did you do to earn such a contract?” asked the cycloptic jounin. “That I can not say. I am bound not to by the contract. Otherwise everyone would be trying to gain it and Shinigami-sama would be pissed due to the rise of paperwork.” Said the blonde with a shrug. “In truth if knowledge of these contracts was too well known it would be forbidden everywhere for anyone to try and claim them. If you don’t pass the test your life is forfeit.” Said the blonde casually. “Would I be correct in assuming your test was having your memories sealed?” questioned Kakashi. “Yup, part of it at least. It was to determine my path in life, if I had chosen the wrong path, I’d have died. Fortunately I chose to forgive the retards that make up Konoha and not destroy them.” Kakashi winced at this bit of news but filed it away nonetheless. It was actually kind of scary how casually the boy talked about dying, as if such a thing no longer mattered to him. “Your right, living and dying no longer matters to me.” Said Naruto causing Kakashi’s eye to widen. “Sure like anyone I’d like to live, but in truth a mortal life is only the start of your life, death isn’t the end of the journey.” Said the blonde as he turned to face the horizon. “I know you were listening on the conversation this morning as well.” Stated the blonde after a few moments getting the jounin’s attention. “I had hoped to keep this to myself until I could figure things out but we’re short on time. During our travels our group learned that there was a village being built called Oto and its leader was interested in people with certain talents, a lack of morals, or both. We stayed clear of that country though due to not wanting to draw attention from its leader, I believe you know of him, the Sannin Orochimaru.” Explained the blonde. At the words Kakashi’s eyes went wide in shock. There wasn’t a single leaf nin above chuunin that didn’t know of the rouge Sannin and the horrors he had committed. He was the greatest enemy of the village, beating out the clan slayer that was Uchiha Itachi. The S-rank nuke-nin and former student of the Sandaime Hokage. “I did some thinking and brainstorming over this while I traveled. I determined that the only reason he would consider building a village was if he was forming an army…” Kakashi didn’t need to hear anymore, he’d already come to the most likely conclusion and it troubled him greatly. He knew all about the traitorous Sannin, as he’d studied him and could safely assume that the main reason for this move on his part would be to use them as an attack force, most likely against Konoha. “Kakashi, I hope you can keep this quiet, because if we’re the target then he would already have spies in place.” Said Naruto. With that said the blonde turned and began walking back towards the house leaving Kakashi to himself. As he moved the blonde could barely suppress his smirk, though if one looked they could see a mischievous glint in his eyes. ‘Well let’s see how the hebi-teme likes it when things get shook up.’ Thought the blonde inwardly cackling.
Uzumaki Kushina sat before a small group of four. They were garbed in all black with while their torsos were covered in armor and their heads covered in the cloth mask that covered everything but their eyes. They didn’t bare a single symbol to be seen as she had yet to allow their return to be known to the world.
“Do you all understand your assignment?” She was answered with nods all around. While in uniform they never spoke unless absolutely necessary as it would help in keeping their identities hidden. She of course knew who all of them were but locked eyes with the leader. “This task is important, so much so that it could determine whether or not we will emerge from the shadows.” Stated the woman causing each member to stand slightly straighter. With a wave she dismissed the group which quickly flickered out of her sight. Almost as soon as they were gone she let out a sigh of relief. She never really got used to the job and it really didn’t suit her either. She belonged out in the field where she could do the most good, but this was a necessary evil in the grand scheme of things. When Shinigami-sama had gifted her with her return to life it had been for this reason, to rebuild her home village, she had been given only twelve years to be at fighting strength. It had seemed like an impossible task but somehow she had managed to do it. Many of the people were natives who had been forced to flee in the destruction of the country so long ago. It hurt she hadn’t been around at the time, she had already been called to Konoha by her aunt Mito who had married Konoha’s Shodai Hokage. When the news had been brought to her she’d been a wreck but had held together long enough to get her messengers situated before breaking down. Now here she was back in her home country, helping her people. No one from her old life knew she had survived, Shinigami-sama had ordered it, so she fled leaving her son in the care of the Sandaime, Shinigami-sama had assured her things would work out. Naruto had needed to be in Konoha in order for things to work out, she didn’t like it but she did as ordered and he promised her the boy would be fine. Sighing the woman shook herself from the thoughts and got back to work.The mood inside Tazuna’s house was tense, not even twenty minutes ago Naruto had alerted the group that the clones had been dispelled. It didn’t take a genius to see that if Gato was smart he would know that they were already in Nami. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem for the shinobi but with the army of thugs at his command it would be. “How can you three be so calm?” demanded Sakura breaking the silence. Turning to follow her gaze the others present in the house were greeted to the sight of Naruto, Haku, and Kimimaru lying back on the floor each with content expressions covering their faces. At the question all three glanced in her direction before turning away in sync with each other. “What reason do we have not to be calm? They are ants, they’ll come and we’ll step on them.” Answered Naruto calmly his eyes closed. “Naruto this is an army we’re talking about, not some small bandit group.” Said Tenten. “Zero multiplied by 300 is still zero.” Retorted the blonde not at all fazed. “You idiot how can you take it so lightly! Acting all high and mighty, Gato will kill you!” exclaimed Inari At this Naruto opened his eyes and turned towards the group. The sight that greeted them however was that of frosty blue eyes with vertical slits for pupils. The sight of his eyes caused them all to shudder though only Gai and Kakashi recognized the eyes as those belonging to a seasoned killer, eyes that looked at the world and saw only death ahead. “In Konoha I’m known mostly for my pranks, my proudest achievements being the painting of the Hokage Monument in broad daylight and sneaking into the Hyuga Estate and gluing black sunglasses over the eyes of the clan elders and sticks in their hands giving the visual of a group of blind men. While most would only see ignorance I see opportunity for if the paint was replaced by explosive tags or seals I could’ve done some real damage. Also if I can do what I did to the Hyuga Elders what’s stopping me from slitting their throats? At this very moment I have a clone positioned and disguised as Gato’s bodyguard. I’ve had it positioned since last night. It is only my will that allows him to continue to draw breath. Gato’s guards are trash which reasons that his entire force is trash. In short Gato is already dead, his body just hasn’t realized it yet.” The casual way in which the news was delivered to the group caused the group to look at the blonde in a new light. The group of gennin was forced to reevaluate everything they thought they knew about the blonde and his pranks upon hearing the lethal edge he could have given them. For Kakashi and Gai they had a new level of respect for the blond, sure they had already realized it but no one had ever imagined that the boy had known the potential his pranks had shown. “Honestly though the only reason he’s not dead yet is because there’s no point in killing him. Hell Haku and Kimimaru could’ve finished this by themselves, killed Gato and his thugs but what’s the point? I mean really this would all just happen again even with a bridge. If Gato was smart he’d just wait until we left killed the old man and took over the bridge. It’s not like you all would try and stop him right? I mean even when you outnumbered him and his group you all just stood around and watched while he took over and killed the only person willing to stand against him. Frankly speaking the people around here have never had to stand up for themselves it’s only been eighteen years since this place was founded. It’s understandable before that you had people to protect you.” “Naruto what are talking about?” Questioned Sakura only for the blond to scowl. “I guess I shouldn’t be surprised you don’t know, Konoha doesn’t like advertising its failures. Eighteen years ago Konoha was the second most powerful power in the shinobi world, but the strongest fighting in the third war. However Konoha had a powerful ally since its very foundation a connection made in blood. You see in order for the Shodai to gain permission to found Konoha from Hi no Kuni’s daimyou he needed a show of proof his plan would work. Uzushio, the first ninja village gave him that proof by supporting the idea. The leader of the Uzumaki clan the strongest clan in the world showed his support by wedding his sister to Senju Hashirama the man that would become the Shodai Hokage. You see the Uzumaki was the one clan that all the Daimyou’s respected.” “Why?” questioned Sakura. “I’m unsure of the full details but the Uzumaki clan was apparently the most noble of ninja clans. First and foremost every member of the Uzumaki clan was skilled in Fuuinjutsu in a way no one else can boast. It was the Uzumaki clan that created the barrier seals that protects the home of the daimyou, every type of fuuinjutsu from exploding tags to summons we created and mastered. More than that an Uzumaki valued loyalty above all else. From what I was able to gather in my research for the head of the clan to marry off his blood to someone outside showed the ultimate level of trust. That said Hashirama was bound to his word or Uzushio would have destroyed him and his ambition before it could even take off. However instead of doing that the Uzumaki sent the two other clans with him to help out and gave him the names of a few others and how to find them. “Regardless to make a long story short because of this union Konoha and Uzushio were allies and were supposed to remain as such. However eighteen years ago Uzushio was attacked by Kumo. You see Kumo was after the Uzumaki bloodline in order to boost their forces. Naturally a request was sent to Konoha for aid, aid which never showed up. Uzu no Kuni was destroyed and split into four small islands, three of which form the chain that makes up Nami no Kuni. The other is still where it was a shell of its former self. Only two members of the Uzumaki clan survived that catastrophe and both were in Konoha at the time, at least until the Kyuubi attack a few years later. That’s why that spiral, the Uzumaki crest, is on the vest of the upper level ninja; Konoha’s way of honoring Uzu. As far as anyone knows there are only two people left with Uzumaki blood Tsunade of the Sannin and me.” Before anyone could say anything else however the blonde was enveloped in his shadow and sunk into the ground shocking all of the gennin. Neji meanwhile had frozen and was staring at the ground in front of him lost in thought his mind reflecting on a specific part of what he’d heard. “You’ll have to forgive Naruto-kun, he despises weakness of any kind.” Said Haku bringing everyone’s attention to her. “What do you mean?” questioned Gai with narrowed eyes. “Where we grew up was a constant fight for survival, you were either strong or you were dead. Not just physically either because being strong and stupid got you killed just as quickly. Mental or physical he despises weakness. Whenever he would fight he would always say that you lost because you were weak and that the weak will always lose to the strong. At first I didn’t understand until he told us about his life in Konoha then we understood. He felt Konoha as a whole was weak in the sense that they allowed their fears and their past to control them. Naruto was stronger however because he fought through it. It was only later when we realized that it was humanity as a whole that was weak, that is why the cycle of war keeps repeating. Sure a person can be strong, but people are dumb, irrational, and fearful. For instance instead of standing up to Gato from the jump you showed weakness and find yourself in your current situation.” Explained Haku. “What of Konoha then, how would we become strong in Naruto’s eyes?” questioned Sakura. “Simple, stop dwelling on the past. Past mistakes won’t fix present problems or prevent future ones. If you’re so busy thinking back on the past you miss what’s going on around you. That’s why Naruto recommended we all return to our villages to show them that we aren’t controlled by our past and our villages don’t have to be either. Kiri has seen this and the bloodline wars are over, a bloodline holder is even Mizukage now.” Explained Haku causing several of the Konoha nin to narrow their eyes in thought.
Nara Shikaku frowned as he sat at the desk within his clans library with scrolls and books littered everywhere around him. Ever since he’d heard of Naruto’s ability to travel through shadows he had been looking through the scrolls for a clue to learning such an ability and had come up empty. Of course he had kept such research to himself as it wouldn’t due for people to learn of it as it would lead to rather troublesome situations. Unfortunately despite his actually looking he had yet to find anything on this particular ability. He had found a few interesting tidbits but nothing as grand as Naruto’s ability or a reason for why he could do it outside of his own reasoning. Leaning back he ran his hand down his face as he contemplated giving up yet again. Of course in the end he wouldn’t as despite how troublesome it was the subject had already caught his interest. Sighing for the umpteenth time the Nara head picked up yet another scroll this one however was rather dusty. Brushing it down with a brush he had nearby for just such a purpose he unrolled it and began reading, by the time he’d finish his eyes would be completely open in shock as if he was wide awake.
Naruto walked with a calm pace as he followed Tsunami and Tenten through the village back towards her home. Tsunami had wanted to go shopping for food for the night and the two of them had volunteered to go with her. A frown graced his features as he looked up on the people who looked as if they were a few steps away from giving up. It was small but in the eyes of a few people he could still see the spark of life that told him that Gato hadn’t completely beaten them yet. It was as they were leaving the market however that Tsunami suddenly stopped short and froze. Sighing Naruto looked around her and found the reason why as no less than twenty five sword totting thugs stood before them at the entrance to the market area. Looking around him he could see everybody around staring at the men who were fingering their swords. “Alright you ingrates listen up.” Called one of the thugs at the head of the group obviously the leader. He stood at about 5’8” and had a light complexion with white hair that held a bluish tent to it. He had beady black eyes with tattoo markings beneath them. He wore a pair of plain grey pants and a blue jacket with multiple pockets. He wore a dark purple hat on top of his head, a sort of snow cap from the look of it with a katana strapped to his waist. After a few moments he recognized him as Zori, Gato’s other bodyguard. “We’re looking for old man Tazuna’s daughter, if you know where we can find her speak up.” Said the man causing Tsunami to tense while Tenten’s hand moved towards her kunai pouch. “Tenten don’t, I’ll handle this.” Said the blond lowly before he moved in front of Tsunami. “I’m giving you all this one warning. Leave Tazuna’s family alone, in fact leave Nami all together, and tell your master to get the hell out too.” Said Naruto bringing the attention of the entire square onto him. “What did you say brat.” Demanded Zori. “I won’t repeat myself now leave or die, your choice.” Stated the blond. “Tch just because you have that headband doesn’t mean your hot shit; you’re still just a brat and you’ll be the one doing the dying.” Said Zori with a smirk motioning his men forward. At his command the men behind him stalked forward towards the blond who closed his eyes upon seeing them approach while placing his hand on Tenro’s hilt. Suddenly he jumped straight up in the air surprising everyone with the move and causing the gathered thugs to look up at him as he jumped nearly twenty feet in the air. Upon reaching the apex he turned so that he was descending face first and drew Tenro from its sheath. “Getsuga Tensho (Moon Fang, Heaven Piercer).” Muttered the blonde. From the ground everyone went wide eyed as the blond swung the blade and a crescent of blue energy launched down at the group of thugs. Tenten felt her eyes widen at the amount of chakra she felt within the attack and the speed at which it traveled. Even more surprising was that he had managed to gather that much chakra directly after a chakra propelled leap. Then the blast connected and there was an explosion the light of which blinded everyone for a few moments. When the light cleared and everyone could see again the sight that greeted them was startling. Naruto had landed and was facing the spot where his attack hit, the only sign of said attack being the large wall of smoke that had been created. Finally as the dust cleared those gathered were able to make out the attacks after effects. Tenten herself found her jaw dropping in surprise as she found herself looking upon a large gash within the upturned earth yet no bodies could be seen. “Arrogant weaklings.” Naruto’s words had the effect of bringing Tenten back to the living world along with everyone else watching. While many were showing various signs of either glee, apathy or any other emotions Tenten was replaying the technique over and over again in her minds eye all the way back to Tsunami’s home, at least until she began thinking about what she could do upon learning such a technique at which point she began cackling inwardly.
Ino smiled as she unlocked her door to allow herself and her guest in. Her parents had given her an apartment that was near their house as a graduation gift. She had been ecstatic but Hinata was still the first person she’d ever invited over. She had found herself getting to know the girl over the last few months. Twice a week their teams gathered to have joint training as while Asuma specialized in close quarters combat Kurenei specialized in genjutsu. Her apartment was actually pretty nice consisting of a living room, small kitchen, a bathroom with a standing shower and a Jacuzzi tub and two bedrooms. Even more she didn’t have to pay any rent because the building was owned by her clan. Her father had even told her that until she made chuunin all she had to focus on was her training as he’d take care of all the bills. “You have a lot of pictures with Haruno-san.” Stated Hinata causing Ino’s eyes to widen slightly. Following her gaze Ino was shocked to see the girl was right there were pictures of her and Sakura from various ages that decorated the place. She had never really thought about it but the two of them had apparently taken a lot of pictures together. There were a some with her and her parents, her teammates, and even her teammates parents but the majority held her and Sakura. “You guys really were the best of friends. Too bad you let the Uchiha ruin it.” Said the girl causing Ino to recoil. “Why do you say that?” questioned Ino training to hide her surprise from the girl who was still looking at the pictures. “You had a lot more freedoms than me growing up. You have the chance to make friends with whoever you wish. I however can’t be seen associating with those of ‘lower stature’.” Said Hinata using air quotes for the last bit. Ino sighed at that a thoughtful look overcoming her features. She had never put much thought into it. She wasn’t the heiress of her clan, just one of those with a high probability of inheriting the seat of power. She never really thoughts she’d be clan head either, her father wasn’t the head as her grandfather had yet to step down. Her father had been offered the position but had declined as he was already up to his neck in work in the interrogation department. Whatever the case her clan had never told her who she could and couldn’t befriend so nobody had so much as blinked an eye at her having a best friend from a civilian background. In truth however their fallout hadn’t been over Sasuke, as far as she was concerned the Uchiha had merely been Sakura’s excuse. That however was something to muse over when she didn’t have company so she quickly shook the thought off. She hadn’t invited Hinata to discuss her past with Sakura but rather to get to know the girl that she could now see becoming a good friend and was determined to do so.
That night found Tazuna seated alone in his kitchen nursing a bottle of sake. Despite the time that had passed the old man was still going over Naruto’s words to the group earlier that day. He wanted to be angry or upset but looking back he found he had no right to be. The boy had been right they could have all stood up to Gato a long time ago, they could’ve driven him out and prevented so many lives being lost and families being torn apart.
They didn’t however, instead they showed fear and cowered as his son in law was butchered for all to witness by Gato’s goons before he had him executed. Now here they were two years later and Gato damn near owned the place while they relied on a group of kids and two adults to fix things for them. Once again though building the bridge wouldn’t be enough because the boy was right someone else would come afterwards and they would be in the same situation they were in now. No they couldn’t allow that to happen it needed to stop, they couldn’t rely on others forever without showing their own pride and strength of will. Standing with eyes full of determination the old man grabbed his coat and strode out of the door. Out of the darkness in the corner of the room Naruto emerged with a slight smirk on his face at the sight that he’d seen. However now that he had set things in motion it was time to move on so he stepped back and was swallowed by the shadows. Twenty minutes later found Tenten storming through the house before finally she came into the living room we’re the group was gathered again. She had been sent out on patrol and saw something shocking, for as Gato’s thugs began to enter the village they found themselves beaten down as men and women quickly emerged and began beating them down with all manner of things they used as weapons. “We have a problem.” Said Tenten without any hesitation upon entering the room bringing all attention to herself. “The townspeople have snapped there’s chaos out there as their trying to take on Gato’s thugs, Tazuna’s among them.” Explained Tenten getting wide eyes from some of the younger shinobi. Immediately Kakashi and Gai were up with the former barking out orders for the gennin to get moving and get their gear. It didn’t take them long however as they were leaving Sakura brought them to a halt questioning about the missing blond. “Naruto-kun’s been gone for some time. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knew Tazuna planned to do something and acted.” Said Haku only for Kimimaru to snort. “More likely he took the attack earlier by Gato’s thugs as a challenge and decided to answer.” Said Kimimaru causing Haku to sigh and nod her head in the likelihood of that happening. “Alright Sasuke, Sakura, and Neji stick with Gai. You guys help get things settled around here. Take out Gato’s thugs, find Tazuna and get him out of here. Tenten, Lee you two are with me we’ll head for Naruto and either back him up or get him out of the fire.” Said Kakashi. “I’ll stick around here, Haku lead Kakashi’s group to Naruto.” Said Kimimaru getting a nod in reply. With that said the two groups leapt their separate ways. It didn’t take long for Gai, Sasuke, Sakura, Neji, and Kimimaru to arrive in the village proper. Immediately Gai had a grimace form on his face as he looked down at the carnage. As a jounin and an active participate of the third shinobi war Gai had seen his fare share of combat in his lifetime. However seeing what he was below him put a bad taste in his mouth as he saw the mob of villagers being repelled by Gato’s thugs as they had already recovered. Looking to the gennin he was not surprised to find Sakura and Sasuke with horrified looks in their eyes and on the formers face. Neji however was impassive as always facially and his eyes the blank white pools that they were only enforced it not allowing anyone who didn’t know him well to see any emotion from him. “I’ll divide them, you take them down.” Said Kimimaru bringing the green clad jounin out of his thoughts. With that Kimimaru drew his sword and held it over his head. At a glance Gai could tell that it was quite the piece of work. There wasn’t a single flaw or chip that he could make out on the blade. The guard from what he could make out was shaped like a star while the grip held ice blue wrapping and gold diamond patterns. “Soten ni zase, Hyorinmaru. (Reign over the frosted heavens, Ice Ring).” With the muttered words Kimimaru swung the blade downwards the guard morphing into an eight pointed star and an ice blue dragon emerging from the tip of the blade. In moments the dragon had crashed upon a line of Gato’s thugs and splashed like water. The fighting all around stopped in an instant as everyone tried to figure out what happened. However that was soon put to a halt as everyone hit by the water began screaming before it was abruptly brought to a halt as they were all frozen solid incased in a wall of ice. Gai himself wasn’t nearly as shocked as everyone else. As a jounin he’d known that the swords of the Seven Swordsmen were all special in one way or another. This blade however was different, this was the first sword he’d ever seen capable of changing its form. Still with the attack completed he was still good enough to put the discovery aside as soon as Kimimaru glanced at him meaningfully. Immediately understanding Gai tapped Neji who was quick to revive and leapt down leaving Neji to revive the other two gennin as Kimimaru watched from the rooftop.From his position hidden within the shadows Naruto smirked darkly as he eyed the gathered thugs before him. From what he could determine Gato had sent at least a hundred of the thugs out most likely as a show of force when the first group was killed. That left only ninety-nine as earlier in the day he’d sent another force off to claim the next island. They however wouldn’t be a problem as Kurohime had already informed him they’d been taken care of by a group of Kiri nin that had been stationed there.
Whatever the case this would give him ample numbers to get a true assessment of his current physical skills. He knew he was out of practice, it had been a little over two years so it was expected that he be a bit rusty going so long without any activity. His muscles had weakened considerably as had his speed. While he was still levels above the rest of his class in terms of physical abilities he had still weakened greatly. Still the walking corpses in front of him provided him a great opportunity to see just how well off he was in his core abilities. Sure he could fire off a few jutsu and end it all, but where’s the fun in that? Sure like most boys he liked his fare share of destructive jutsu but he knew where the real fun was, that was in the hunt. It was only when one instilled fear into their prey, made them realize that their life ended the moment his blade met theirs. He wasn’t ashamed to admit he was a killer; he’d been doing it for so long that killing was nothing to him. He didn’t enjoy it or go out of his way to do so, but he never felt anything for those he killed either. As far as he was concerned it was either him or them and if he had any say about it which he did it would always be them. ‘Well Tenro, let’s see how my rehab has faired.’ Thought the blond raising his hood before drawing his blade. As he drew the blade he could hear a deep growl in the back of his mind one that caused him to smile. This smile though hidden was not one that anyone would like to see, there was no friendliness, happiness or any positive emotion about it. This was a smile fit only for someone who killed and had no problem doing so, one that showed a lust for drawing blood. In the next instant he vanished only to reappear on the ground in front of a wide eyed thug. Before the man could do more than widen his eyes in surprise he found a kunai already embedded into his throat. Blood gushed out of the wound immediately upon the weapon being pulled out as the blond moved forward not sparing the dead man the slightest attention. Before the man had even hit his knees the kunai had been thrown and embedded into the back of another’s head. He cursed as he saw a wide eyed thug standing in front of his last target just before he screamed out about his presence. Drawing another kunai he chucked it across the distance abruptly cutting off the mans voice as it struck the center of his throat. Still the damage had already been done as the rest of the thugs emerged from all over the place. Drawing Tenro he took off at a run and the blade flashed three times as three separate thugs fell screaming from loss of limbs. In the next instant he disappeared as a sword passed through where his midsection was not even a second before. Before the thug could do more than widen his eyes his sword was broken into three pieces and his head was falling from his shoulders. Standing calmly behind the now dead thug Naruto looked out at the rest of the thugs that had gathered and stood before him as an obstacle to Gato’s ship. Seeing this and having a solid idea about his level of skill now Naruto swiped the blade through the air flinging the blood off of it. Narrowing his eyes at the thugs he decided to end it with a bit of a bang and held the blade straight up with the bladed end facing the mob. “Tenro.” With the muttering of its name Tenro glowed golden and began to enlarge and change shape. As the glow subsided what Naruto now held was revealed to be a large ivory blade shaped like an oversized fang the blade far larger than the boy himself was yet he still held it as if it was weightless as he still held it with only a single hand. The guard had transformed and turned into a large patch of dark grey fur though the hilt hadn’t changed at all. Then with a few more muttered words he brought the blade down. As the blade reached the ground a wolf’s howl ripped through the air that covered the entire island.As the sound hit them Haku, Kakashi, Lee, and Tenten were brought to a halt. They had been delayed by a group of thugs themselves which the two jounin had left the disposal of to Lee and Tenten. In the end the two had seen exactly why Naruto and the two Kiri jounin were so relaxed as they had proved no problem at all.
“Well it seems Naruto-kun is tired of playing.” Said Haku after the howl died down. Immediately after she said this two and a half sets of eyes turned on her the two pairs wide in disbelief while the Hatake was narrowed. She inwardly shrugged knowing the man wanted to know what all she knew but he’d get nothing out of her. Suddenly she turned away facing a section of trees to her left putting her back to the Konoha nin. Narrowing her eyes the black haired girl drew her sword holding it out in front of her with the blade pointing towards the ground. “Mae, Sode no Shiraiyuki.” (Dance, Sleeved White Snow) The words were spoken calmly and quietly yet still caught the ears of the three leaf nin. Turning towards her they were all just in time to see her turn her sword counter clock-wise and could only watched mesmerized as it changed form. What had once been what appeared to be a regular katana with a reddish-brown hilt had changed mid turn. The sword had changed completely white, blade, hilt, and tsuba, a pure white that reminded Kakashi of fresh snow. The tsuba had further changed from rectangular to a hollow circle that resembled a snowflake and finally a long white ribbon appeared from nowhere attached to the pommel as cold air rushed out in all directions around her. Still Kakashi would admit if only to himself that it was the most beautiful blade he’d ever seen. “Some no Mai, Tsukishiro” (First Dance, White Moon)” As soon as the muttered words registered to the three leaf nin Haku disappeared causing all three to go wide eyed. The girl had moved so fast with no indication and so quickly that even Kakashi was caught off guard. What they were able to see however her appear in the center of a group of no less than fifteen of Gato’s thugs and slash horizontally once. Kakashi went wide eyed as he noticed as soon as her motion was completed a large circle of what he could make out to be ice appeared on the ground encompassing all of the thugs, while pieces of ice floated upwards all around from the inside of the circle. Then in the next instant she vanished once more only to reappear in front of the three leaf nin. As soon as she reappeared the ice surged spiraling upwards resembling a tornado for but a moment before it froze over creating a large pillar of ice that was so high he had little doubt it could capture a summon as large as Gamabunta. For a moment the group was silent merely marveling at the pillar created by Kakashi had no doubt was at least a mid A-rank technique. Then the moment was over as the pillar shattered and fell to pieces the ice desolving along the way before vanishing leaving no trace it had ever been their nor the thugs it had contained for that matter. “Well then shall we go?’ asked Haku forcing all the leaf nin to face her causing them all to realize her sword was all ready back to normal and fully sheathed. With that the group took off once more on the last legs of their journey to catch up with Kakashi’s missing student. As they ran Kakashi had his single visible eye narrowed in thought. ‘Mibu Haku and Mibu Kimimaru, just who are you and exactly how are you connected to Naruto.’Gato had never been more terrified in his life. He had been watching the video from the safety of his hideaway as his hired muscle confronted the single figure that had approached. A single person that had cut them all down effortlessly before using some kind of huge technique to finish the last of the outside defenders. He hadn’t been too worried though as even though those on the ground had been taken out he had more on the inside of his ship. He had continued to watch as the figure made his way onto the deck and through the ships interior removing his hood and showing he was no more than a blonde child. At that point he figured the kid would be running out of gas soon enough as despite what he’d just done he was still a child and as such had to be nearing his limit if not already there. Instead the child had butchered his interior guards even quicker than those on the outside, though the interior held far less in number. Now however here he was staring into the icy blue eyes of the blond child who had actually cut through his steel door to get to him. “So you’re the one who’s been causing all this trouble.” Said Naruto calmly as he eyed Gato’s shivering form. “You can dispel now.” Said the blond even further spooking the man as his bodyguard disappeared in a puff of smoke. “W-w-w-w-what d-do you w-want?” stuttered out the man. “For your attack against me earlier today we can start by you signing over all rights and ownership of Gato shipping to me. You should know that everything that clone I dispelled earlier learned I learned as soon as it dispelled.” Stated the blonde evenly causing the midget to pale. “S-s-sure, consider it done.” Replied the man hastily. With that said the man pulled out a stack of forms before hurriedly signing page after page. Naruto raised an eyebrow and silently created a clone to grab the papers after the man finished them. As the clone looked them over it nodded and sat the stack of papers aside before dispelling. “I also want the account numbers and passwords to all of your bank accounts along with a ledger for each account.” The midget paled even further at this before hurriedly reaching into his desk withdrawing a small book and tossing it to the young blond. Catching it calmly and looking over the book the blond nodded in satisfaction at seeing everything he wanted to see. “Now the safe, open it.” Demanded the teen gesturing to the picture of Gato’s ugly mug hung behind the midget. Said midget froze but soon did as commanded and open the safe for the blond who’d begun fingering the hilt of his sword. The picture was hastily thrown aside as the vertically challenged businessman rushed to comply with the order before the safe was swung open. As the contents held within were revealed to him Naruto couldn’t help but smile a bit darkly which served to only further scare the short man. “You will also hand over everything you took from Nami no Kuni; money, deeds, sake, everything.” Once again Gato was quick to comply telling him where he kept everything he’d taken from the villagers. Apparently the man had kept it all in storage as he wanted to wait and sell the things when he legally owned the country. “I already know where the women you took from Nami are held so I suppose that’s everything.” Said the blond thoughtfully. “So you’re not going to kill me.” Said the ugly short man exhaling a sigh of relief as he sat back in his chair from buying himself out of his grave even if he was broke for it. “Now whatever gave you that idea?” At this question Gato could only stutter out in fear about how he’d given the boy everything and who that should make things even. “I never laid down those terms. I was coming to kill you anyway, I just wanted to get everything out of you before I did for the trouble you’ve caused. Besides unless you did too many unsavory things you’ve got nothing to worry deaths not as bad as people make it out to be.” Said the blond calmly. “H-h-how would you know?” stuttered out the man. “I suppose I could tell you this one little secret.” As soon as the blondes words registered he disappeared and reappeared behind the short man impaling him with Tenro through the chair, the blade coming out of his stomach causing the man to gasp in pain while the blond leaned forward and whispered in his ear. “I know because I died once.” With that he pulled the blade free and watched the blade as it seemed to absorb the blood into it. At the same time Gato slumped forward until he fell face first onto his desk. “I do hope your satisfied now, Tenro.” Muttered the blond. As he sheathed the blade he could hear a deep chuckle fill his mind before he shook his head and went about sealing away all the documents into a scroll he kept on his person. With that settled the blond left the room to head even deeper into the ship leaving Gato’s cooling form to rot.
The next morning found all of the shinobi along with Tazuna and his family gathered within the living room. With the aid of shinobi the tides had quickly turned in the favor of the villagers until there was not a single thug left. The spent villagers had then been urged to retire to their homes but there was little doubt there would be a country wide celebration soon. Kakashi and his group had arrived in time to find Naruto emerging from the boat leading fifteen women who all proceeded to kiss him on the cheek before heading for home accompanied by a squad of his clones. Kakashi, Tenten, and Lee however had been rather surprised with the amount of corpses Naruto held left in his wake. Even more there had appeared to be three large gashes along the ground that had led to a pile of limbs with not a single whole body to be seen. Naruto for his part had seemed exhausted but had waved it off as him being out of shape. Now here they were all gathered around once more surprised as Naruto was the one to call for the meeting. “Tazuna-san what you started last night was foolish and suicidal.” Started Naruto calmly catching everyone’s attention though Tazuna cringed at the words. “Yet at the same time it was beyond brave. Inari I could say the same for you, charging those sword wielding thugs like you did to protect your mother.” Said the blonde causing the child to smile widely. “So it is for that reason you don’t have to worry about making payments to our villages.” Said Naruto calmly. At this everyone went wide eyed but before any of them could speak Naruto held up his hand asking for silence. When they calmed he removed a scroll from his person before unsealing two pouches, one he tossed to Kakashi and another to Kimimaru. “In those pouches you’ll find more than enough to cover an S-rank assignment.” With a narrowed eye Kakashi opened his pouch only for it to widen seeing the jewels held inside. Nothing but sparkling diamonds stared back at him causing him to quickly close it and pocket it before turning back to Naruto. “Also Tazuna on Gato’s boat in the lowest sector you will find everything that was taken from neatly stored and still packed up. I would take one person from each home so that everyone can claim what is theirs.” Said Naruto causing the family of three to go wide eyed at this news. “As a last order of business, Tsunami I need you to sign here, here, initial here and sign here.” Said the blond showing her the places he needed her to sign. Raising her eyebrow Tsunami did as instructed while everyone else watched on. For several minutes it was silent as everyone watched Naruto get Tsunami to sign the stack of papers before it finished. “Congratulations Tsunami you are now CEO of Nami Inc. formerly known as Gato Shipping.” Said the blond causing the woman to go wide eyed with shock along with everyone else causing Naruto to chuckle before he explained. “I remember the old drunk saying that you ran this place as a motel, meaning you have a reasonably high degree in business. Now from the way I have this split up the shares are as follows I’ve taken 40% for myself, another 40% goes to Nami no Kuni, while Konoha and Kiri each receive 10%. I will send you an account number to send my funds to, but you will have to work something out between the two villages yourself savvy.” With tears in her eyes the mother could only nod as she pulled the boy into a hug thanking him over and over again. Naruto smiled softly something that shocked no one more than Haku and Kimimaru who could count the number of times he’d smiled like that on one hand.
It had taken barely two days for the bridge to be finished after that. Of course before that had been a massive celebration that had incapacitated a large number of people and had them take a full day to recover. So all in total it had taken four days until the bridge connecting Nami to Hi no Kuni was complete. Now the Konoha nin were gathered on the bridge giving there goodbyes. Naruto however was notably more somber having parted with Haku and Kimimaru at the house though he had promised to keep in touch when he was able. It took a surprisingly long time for the group of ninja to separate from the villagers who came to personally express their thanks much to the shock of the two jounin. Usually on missions you only had contact with your client and there was no fanfare when you departed. However the group of shinobi were celebrated in Nami as hero’s none more so than Naruto after the word was spread that he was the one who killed Gato and gifted them with a surprisingly large portion of his former company. While he knew most boys his age would soak up the spotlight Kakashi was surprised about how unfazed Naruto was with it all. At least until Naruto whispered he had a similar departure when he left Kiri when no one but Kakashi was around to hear it. The blond had surprisingly spent most of his time with the children in the village giving Tenten something to focus her training on before departing. No one but Tenten had understood and the girl was surprisingly tight lipped about it. Regardless as he stood now he could only chuckle as he watched the blond as he signed autographs for his new fan club. Finally the teen managed to extract himself from the horde of teenaged girls surrounding him and joined up with the rest of them. With a few final goodbyes to Tazuna and his family the group took their leave being the first to walk over the newly complete bridge. As they reached the shores of Hi no Kuni however they wasted no time and began leaping through the trees quickly disappearing from the sight of Nami no Kuni’s residents. “So father what are you going to call the bridge?” questioned Tsunami causing everyone to pay attention to the man. “Well I was thinking about calling it ‘The Super Awesome Bridge That Tazuna Built’.” Said the old man with a laugh causing several people to roll their eyes at him. “Seriously though I was thinking I’d call it ‘The Great Naruto Bridge’. Named after the man that inspired us to show our strength and freed us from the claws of Gato.” Said Tazuna. At this it was silent for several moments as people digested the name before a great cheer erupted from the people who would remember their newfound hero and celebrate him well into the future.
