The first link in the description here contains such hot stories for adults such as what if Naruto was a daddy for Sarata or Cushina and Makoto vulgar Naruto mommies. Follow the link and enjoy. I'm waiting for you. >> Formed by the love he felt for his wife Casina. Cherished and kept secret from the world and now forced to carry a heavy burden. Looking at her, he said softly, "I'm sorry, but we both know that this is the only way for both of us to protect our village, and we make sure that we can transmit what is necessary to Nar." What was supposed to be the happiest moment of his life, the birth of his baby, had turned into disaster. When the masked man attacked him at Ikusina, freeing the ninetailed fox, the demon's rampage had already killed countless villagers, and deep in his soul. Minato knew that the mastermind behind this would not be satisfied with that. His beloved wife had the beast barely restrained and Minato knew with a heavy heart that a new hineriki was needed for the fox. And Minato could not ask any other parent to put such a burden on his son, leaving only his own son, Narut. Despite this, I feel sad. However, we still have time to make some final preparations to give our son a fighting chance. The tired eyes of Casina Namikazi in Yuzumaki looked with confusion. While Minato visibly gathered what was left of his chakra, he created a shadow clone that disappeared with the flying thunder god and then bit his thumb and knitted. The hand signals for the summoning technique. Gamura, a small but mature-l lookinging toad, looked at Minato. What? What's the matter, Minato? Nine tales is out and your wife has chained him up and that's a baby. It's your baby. I'm sorry, Gamurra. Minato replied quickly, pronouncing his words. I have one last favor to ask of you and the toads. They attacked us, and we have to turn Nar into a new hiniki. But the main problem now is this. Minato paused as his clone returned and dissipated, leaving behind a scroll, which the fourth Okage quickly recognized and handed to Gamura. When my son is ready, please hand him over. Gamurra carefully picked up the scroll and looked at the complex seals that closed it. What is it? Casinos, wool, and mine. Some messages, but also our big secrets, including the god of flying thunder. All for Nar smiling even though he was dying. Cina ascended a precaution to leave him everything he needs to start forging his own path in life so that he can surpass us in every way. Gamurra gasped at the sight of the scroll in his hands, knowing that whoever possessed it would have the potential to rise to be a giant in the shinobi world. Undoubtedly, someone like Minato had started such a project, not only long before he married Cina, but even before he became a Jonan, the man would have been acutely aware of all the enemies, both domestic and international, that he and Cassina had earned. As they ascended the ninja ranks over piles of corpses, shocked by the trust his old friend had placed in him, Gamurra approached and swore to them both with the strongest oaths of the toes that he would prove himself worthy of their trust. Then, in a puff of smoke, he returned to Mount Mayoboku with his precious treasure. "We've done everything we could," Minato whispered as he began to seal the devouring seal of the dead demon. Between his will, the chakra sealed in him, and the power of the ninetailed fox, Nar would possess tools and weapons far beyond those that any ordinary ninja could possess. The die was cast, and now all he could do was believe in Nar like a father should because he knew that Nar, Ha's destined son, would lead the way through the coming disaster and change this world. Hidden Whirlpool. 16 years later, Akuyuki, the Jonan captain of the reborn village, hidden in the eddies, walked towards the figure sitting on the edge of the cliff. Narut Yuzumaki, who was once his involuntary teacher, then his student, his friend, and finally his brother by choice. He had become a man who had achieved miracles. Then they will come. Nar nodded his head slowly and sadly. When she ran away from home years ago, deep down she knew it could come to this. One of the many painful conclusions of that time. After all, the ninetail sealed inside was too valuable for the hidden blade. And Nar had created something that dared to challenge the power and authority of the great nations. Yes, the 16-year-old boy knew that conflict with his former home was inevitable. Even when he was trying to avoid it, he had only hoped to prevent it from becoming an open war. Even now, his various shadow clones throughout his spy network and those receiving reports from hidden Whirlpool's intelligence department kept sending him updates about the coming storm. I tried to avoid it to present myself as a valuable ally. He hoped they would stay true to their peace philosophies, that my friends, who still lived there could help me enough. But it seems that everything was in vain. As bitter as some of the memories she had of her old home were, there were still some good, warm ones. And on the whole, life had been good. He had even improved significantly towards the end, as he had made new friends inside the hidden blade. Any further thoughts of Nar were interrupted when someone else joined the two young men and descended from the sky. Fu, the seven-tailed Hinchuriki, approached Narut naturally and sat down next to him, resting her head on his shoulder. Naruto, you've done everything you could. Your job now is to protect our village and those who live in it. To all the people who believe in you when his only response was a vague growl, she sighed before trying again. You don't have to kill them. Not at first and not if they get the message. Just don't forget who we are really fighting against. Danzo, it was only years of mastering his temper that made it possible for Narut to calm his rage. Yes, this conflict has been inevitable. Obsessed with Pax Canoa, Danzo would have been an enemy of Naruto regardless of the decisions he would have made in his life. Even if he could have kept the hidden blade, their philosophies were too different. The fact that Naruto suspected that Danzo was deliberately working to leave Nar emotionally vulnerable didn't help matters at all. And of all Nar's personal enemies, Danzo was the only man he didn't respect at all. And given the degree of monsters found within Akasuki's ranks, that was saying something. For Danzo, the hidden whirlpool was a threat to the hidden leaf status as a great nation and his last chance to demonstrate to show the validity of his future vision for the village as the sixth cage. He would send everything he had to destroy Narut, including his human puppets. Born from a fostian pact with the captured katusky, Cesori of the red sand, Danzo was creating immortal, emotionless soldiers who possessed a lot, far fewer weaknesses than normal humans. Ruth's madness had to be stopped, discredited, and above all, as soon as possible. While the armies of the rest of the continents were still in crisis over the loss of most of the tailed beasts, as well as their other problems. Talking about that, Narut pondered and then spoke out loud to Aku and Fu. Make the scouts ready and gather their special squads. The Akasuki will be ready to make their move. They will want to attack when we and Kenoa are at our most vulnerable by fighting each other. Aku sighed. Are you sure this is what we should do? He asked. It wasn't hesitation that made him question his orders, but the knowledge that what happened next would irrevocably change the world. As ruthless as he could be at times, Aku still wished for an alternative for the child world. It will not collapse into another cycle of seemingly endless violence. I know it's not the best option, Narut snarled. What we are doing is almost crazy. Except given everything that's gotten us to this point, it's the best of all the options we have left. This is our last chance to stop everything from falling apart. Then his voice lowered to almost a whisper, our last chance to make things right. Then he stood up, his spine stiff with conviction. So in the end, there is only one thing we can do. What? Fu asked curiously. Let's protect those we hold dear. Let's trust our friends and family. And let's keep everyone from realizing that we're really just playing craps and betting big. Then her eyes sparkled. But we will win. Believe it. Aqua felt slightly and turned to return. While behind him, their leader disappeared in the blink of an eye. Tira Del Fugo tor Delo cage 12 years after the birth of Naruto. Then Irua sensei will be fine. It had been quite an eventful night. The third cage reflected. Nar had been tricked by Mizuki into committing treason. Fortunately, everything had turned out better than he could have imagined. And now his adopted grandson was impatiently standing in front of his desk while waiting for news about Umino Aruka. Yes, Nar assured him of the third cage. Cage with a fatherly smile as she put away the forbidden scroll. The doctors assured me that he will be completely fine in a few days. By the way, I am very proud of how you behaved there against Mizuki. Irua was right. He has proved that you are a ninja. Blushing a little while while smiling, Nar proudly touched his new blade forehead protector that had once been until he proved his worth. He Yes. Wanting to address the issue before Narut to show his concern, Iris and Serbi sat down in his chair with a more serious look. And Nar, I'm sorry you had to find out that way about the Kooie. Nar blinked at that, but quickly put on another bright smile. Don't worry. I'm sure you had your reasons. And that won't stop me from being okay. Believe it. But the third cage had still seen the brief emotions in his eyes, including the pain. He noticed the fragility behind that smile. "I am sure you will," he praised. "But still, I am very sorry that this happened to you. It was always my intention for you to know the truth, but never in this way. I wanted you to find your own way as a child before becoming aware of this burden so that you would have the opportunity to prove to yourself and everyone else that you were more than just the cage that marked our worst nightmare. A compliment and a statement of faith which seemed to be working as the boy's happiness became more sincere. Even though the world girl is what it is, or maybe because of the way it usually is, being honest is what helps the most. Even if it's not the whole truth. However, that can wait for later. Thank you, old man. I will. Nar shouted. I'll get over you. And then I'll make all the people in this village recognize how amazing I am. Very well, Narut. I'm looking forward to it. The oage promised. Except now it was his own cheerful expression that he was faking. While hiding an old pain. Yes. The will of the fire burns brightly inside you, just like your parents. bright enough that maybe you'll be ready for the full story of your life before I die. Coast of Tira Delugo in front of the land of waves. The following weeks, Nar tried to stay still while he and the rest of the team. Team 7 were waiting for the boat to approach the shore that would take them to Tazuna's homeland where the bridge builder was to finish his best creation. After a failed attempt to end his life, he had confessed the truth of this mission. Fortunately for the old man, he and the Janin, full of childish enthusiasm, had managed to convince the more cynical Kauashi to continue with the mission. Nar, in particular, was determined to show everyone, and in particular himself, what he was really capable of, especially after how he had frozen in front of those to renegade ninja, the demon brothers. I'll show you all. I will defeat anyone who comes near us. And I will show Suzuk Baka what I am really capable of. Sakura will be very impressed. I bet even Kakashi will show me some cool ninjutsu and it will be Okage in no time. Besides, we are going to rescue a country from a ruthless tyrant. I can't wait to tell Sensei and the old man. Things like that will make everyone look at me and say I should be the next Okage. Suzuk Yucha was just as anxious as his idiot teammate. Every day, every available hour, he had dedicated himself to getting stronger. He was striving to overcome the gap that man had on the city and experience. He had tried to graduate early to enter real combat as soon as possible, except that since the last great ninja war, the academy had rarely graduated children early during peace time and had abolished that politics completely after that night. Finally, Suzuk had the opportunity to test himself in the field and make an accurate assessment of where he was at. Best of all, his confrontation with the demon brothers, two tun who were bigger, older, and more experienced, had paid off. Positive results. If Kauashi hadn't intervened, he probably would have even beaten them both. Although Suzuk was willing to admit that regardless of his superior skill, a single mistake could have meant getting cut by one of those poison weapons. So maybe it was for the best. Now, however, the tests were only going to get harder, as it should be. The only question is how much these other two will stand in my way. Everything they've done so far indicates they'll just be a nuisance. Neither of them was able to move during that attack. Sakura. Well, she kept thinking in her head how fantastic her beloved Suzuk Khan had been. His speed, his skill, his absolute coolness. Any thoughts about how abysmal his own contribution had been were overlooked. Besides, they were still just chin. Right? Sakura knew that the goal of being there was for them to learn how to handle such situations. Right? As for attack Kauashi, leader of this cheerful band of misfits called Team 7, he kept his own feelings hidden. The posture relaxed and his only visible eye projected, a distant attitude. While Tazuna had told his tale of woe, Kauashi had been closely watching the reactions of the so-called demon brothers as they sat bound to help confirm the old man's story. Then, a quick jolt of lightning chakra, which had suitably impressed his little one. I had knocked them out. Then Kakashi had left a note with the two aspirants, aware that a patrol would be coming through the area in the not too distant future. No, there were no problems behind them. What was waiting for them was the problem since the next assassination attempt would probably be much more serious. And then there was Nar. Kauashi had observed the boy from afar, but Kakashi was now beginning to suspect that distancing himself from him had caused bigger scars for his sensei's son than he imagined. The social isolation the boy had endured had even stunted his development as a girl. As much as he wanted to be Cage, it was still just one step in his main goal of being noticed, of having his existence recognized. So, he spent most of his time doing stunts like making jokes or running around in Kilmins. Despite being a ninja, maybe it was the academyy's fault. They were overemphasizing on ninjutsu cool like spitting fire instead of sneaking up on someone who was sleeping to slit their throat when he could have been studying and training. Maybe if there had been someone else in Naruto's life, someone to help him, motivate him, support him, or even gently but firmly push him to come back. Normally, things could have been different. It's not that we haven't tried to give him that, except every time something interfered with that. It's really fascinating how often something comes up that ruins those plans. Not that Kauashi could prove anything, especially since those problems had come from so many different sources. And neither he nor the oage could find any evidence of coordination between them. It was even possible that some of those problems were as innocent as they seemed, although there is still something that smells bad. Anyway, as Narut progresses, if there is something sinister behind this, then they will have to come to light more often. and we will catch them. And once Naruto is strong enough and mature enough to learn about his family, his legacy, then I'm sure things will get better for him. Actually, being on team 7 only helped a little to improve the situation. Naruto had people who recognized him on a daily basis, and the effect of this was noticeable, but it was not entirely healthy. Kakashi could be nothing more than a master and commander, someone who might have to send Nar to his death. And not the father figure Nar so desperately wanted. Even being a male role model was ruled out, as Kakashi was self-aware enough to know that he was too damaged to be a positive one. Iru was still more of an older brother that Nar saw less of now, and the third cage was too old and and usually too busy. Sakura's responses to Narut's actions tended to be violent, but since she was really responding to him, he kept coming back. Her social isolation even made him feel a romantic attraction for her due to the fact that it was at least some attention. As for Suzuk, things just got complicated there. Kauashi and other Ambu had noticed how obsessed Narut had been with Suzuk after the Yucha massacre. Seeing someone else who was also lonely in life and with whom Narut empathized. Unfortunately, Suzuk's obsession with killing his brother Majeritachi left no time for friends. So instead, Nar focused on becoming Suk's rival so that the young genius would recognize him. In Kakashi's eyes, the incident in which Nar had stabbed his hand only highlighted the seriousness of the situation. Nar's lack of concern about selfharming and his inability to realize how abnormally fast he was already healing were signs of a serious lack of concern for himself as well as a complete inexperience. as for how quickly other people were healing because of the lack of interaction to really learn that. Even worse, no one else on team 7 had ever felt particularly annoyed by Nar. Yes, they had been surprised that he had taken such an extreme measure. But neither Sakura nor Suzuk had cared too much about his personal health while he had a crib and almost completely pierced his hand. As for Kakashi, although he was a little disappointed that Nar had frozen, he wasn't surprised. Unlike Suzuk, Narut had never been in a life ordeath situation until recently with Mizuki. That reaction on his first mission was perfectly understandable. Showing his commitment through such a serious self harm had been a bit disconcerting. Although Kauashi had tried to hide it, but it was still good to see that Nar's spirit was not daunted. Suk's unique focus on revenge was another reason why Kauashi emphasized teamwork exercises instead of developing his Junin. as fighters and assassins. This was a philosophy that Canoa emphasized. And the fact was that Suzuk had too much potential to waste because he charged alone and missed the Kunai coming from his blind spot. He somehow assumed that he could develop the necessary skills to kill Itachi on his own without anyone being there to support him and help counter Itachi's own abilities. It was especially ridiculous because Suzuk's own abilities until now were simply inferior versions of Itachi's, meaning he could never surprise his most experienced enemy. Suzuk also assumed that he would somehow cross paths with Itachi, as Kakashi's covert observations had given no indication, that the boy had developed any ability to track one of the the most notorious criminals in Moderna history. a man who had casually avoided the hunter ninjas sent after him for so long that the third cage had finally accepted defeat and called them back. Only teammates could balance Suzuk's talents and bring out his true potential. Unfortunately, Kakashi knew that if he said that to the boy in such a direct way, they would only be seen as pawns and and thus weaken the group as a whole. Suzuk had to learn and accept this on his own initiative. The only problem was that I still didn't respect Sakura or Narut enough to understand it. Hopefully, time would correct that and maybe this mission would help in that as they would be thrown into danger together perceived danger in any case as Kauashi had little intention of letting such threats reach them. Sakura was a much simpler and more normal case. She had entered a life she wasn't really ready for. But one of the reasons Kauashi had accepted a Sarank mission was to see how her adorable Janin reacted when her beloved sensei and role model. He massacred a group of bandits while splashing the audience with blood and viscera. A little more humane than sending them straight into danger in a way that wasn't worth losing. The lives of bandits and similar scum weren't worth consideration, and their psychological reactions would give you a good idea of whether you should or not to let them continue as girls. Well, as it was, spending time with her crush for an extended period would inevitably take some of the shine off her obsession with him. The fanatics tended to lose their idealism after seeing the object of their desires get dirty and smell as bad as them. From camping in the woods for days at a time, not to mention that she might finally realize that Ceuk wasn't interested in romance right now. Mental trauma aside, he was 12 years old after all. In truth, the only reason the demon brothers were still alive was because it wasn't everyday that new sources of information came to the outskirts of their village. But this could be a bit extreme. No, I'll protect them. I am Kauashasi attack of the Sering and Eye and I doubt that cat have a mob strong enough to challenge me. There is no need to bother the third cage with reinforcements. In addition, a little hostile murderous intent will also be a good criterion. Mount Mibboku. While resting at home among the other toads, Gamurro was meditating. For years, he had been doing his duty covertly, and it was becoming clear that his friend's last wish might be in vain. The forces opposing Minato's son were too great. When he swore this task for the fourth season, he did not realize the obstacles he would face to deliver the scroll to Nar. The first and main problem was that the boy was not ready yet. Presenting the scroll to him before he spent some time at the ninja academy had seemed imprudent to him as he would lack the necessary knowledge to actually use the secrets contained in the scroll. So Gamura had stayed on the sidelines carefully gathering information from the toads that were associated with Jirea. While he was disappointed that Jirea had been deemed incapable of taking care of his godson, both by himself and by other parties, including the third cage, the wise toad kept busy protecting the child from afar. Repeatedly, the man had intercepted and discredited any information gathered by foreign nations regarding the identity of the ninetailed hineriki, as well as any superficial resemblance between the Joker and main pariah of the blade and Minato Namikazi. Kauashi, the apprentice of the fourth, had been active in hunting down these spies, ruthlessly exterminating any threat to his sensei's legacy. Gamurra had also gained more information by using the distant body of water from Mount Miboku to travel to the village and monitor the boy and those around him. But the tragedy was that the child grew up in almost absolute social isolation. No one dared to harm the boy, not even to be found out thinking about it after what Hirea had done to the man who had criminally revealed Nar's burden to the world. However, at the same time, no one could be forced to approach the child, talk to him, or even smile at him. It was clear that loneliness was burdening the child, robbing him of social cues and knowledge, and leading him to develop some unhealthy ideas. If I were to give him the scroll right now, it would be a disaster. Gamurra reflected with a heavy heart. He would simply show it to the world in a desperate attempt to get more people to recognize him. Or even worse, if Narut's suffering was greater than I suspect, the information contained in the scroll would give the young Hinriiki. At least now he knows that it is his, as well as because people hate him so much the opportunity to execute a bloody revenge on the village if he ever got angry. No doubt this would provide ironic satisfaction for the pretine if he was going to be rejected. and treated like a monster. Let him be one to hell with humanity and the legacy of the fourth ooage would be death, the death of many villagers and the eventual death of Nar. When the ninja finally killed him, all assuming of course that Nar didn't try to unlock his prison and release the ninetailes before he fell. Something has to change, Gamurra thought in dismay. And soon, but I don't know what to do. Land of waves battle next to a small lake. It seems appropriate that the rumors that shook the ninja world until its foundations have begun in such a small and insignificant nation. One that everyone else had discarded, the land of waves. It was here on blood spattered battlefields that new legends were born. And where these defining individuals took their first true steps on these new paths. And it all started with Zabuza Mamoki, the demon of the bloody mist, fighting the equally famous Kauashi Sharing an eye attack, also known as the ninja copy. Unbeknownst to the leaf ninja, however, Zabuza had a few up her sleeve. As her living tool silently watched events unfold from the surrounding foliage, this tool was called Akuyuki and was the voluntary servant of the demon, willing to die in his service if necessary. The observer listened in silence to what was happening, catching every now and then a glimpse through the mist that lifted when his master summoned him. Gateto, the shipping magnate, had hired them to kill a bridge builder named Tazuna in order to maintain the formers commercial monopoly over the country of waves. Unfortunately, Tazuna had gone to the village hidden in the leaves for an escort and was under the protection of Captain Jonan Kakasi. Oh, and three kids who were definitely his Finn students. It was clear that Zabuza sama was starting his basic counterattack psychological warfare strategy. At the same time, the timeless game of clones and substitutions was starting. The rules were simple. Both parties would switch places at high speed with any nearby object they could, while also making sure that any seemingly lethal blow would actually only hit one of their doubles. All to catch his opponent offguard. The cat and the mouse, the cloud ruler, and the chicken all rolled into one, and the first one to be gutted was the loser. This was how the higher ranked ninjas tended to fight using jutzus that they mastered to the point where few or no hand gestures were necessary. High speeds, every bit of experience, careful handling of the chakra during situations of a lot of stress, skill and knowledge with several clone jutsis and repeated use of the substitution technique while simultaneously trying to locate and anticipate their opponents new locations while he was using it himself. In this kind of battles, especially near the decisive end, neither side could be sure that the so-called final blow had really connected. Unless it was another clone or substitution, firm the little that Aku was able to gain by enhancing his senses with chakra and firm his past experience with Zabuza sama. It seemed that a take had now confirmed that Zabuza sama was a user of the water style. He liked to rely on low-level clones. He had some skill with Zabuza sama's sword and knew that the man's reputation for killing quietly was welld deserved. Zabuza sama's first fight with a sharing user was already giving her an idea of how it worked, including the fact that the fog she was creating with the hiding in the fog technique was apparently not enough strong enough to block its effects. The speed of attack in coming to Sujan's aid was also revealing. But the most important thing was that Aku was learning as much as he could from the glimpses of the battle in case he was forced to intervene in the fight. Defeating the attack itself was unthinkable as Zabuza sama had to prove to himself that he was strong enough to defeat the enemy Jonan. Otherwise, how did he expect to defeat someone as strong as Yagura the fourth Mizuk? No, Aku would only get involved to fake his master's death and even then only so that Zabuza sama could come back stronger than ever. Finally ending the annoying dance, Zabuza kicked an attack towards the nearby lake. However, the swordsman realized that the copy ninja had chosen to go with the flow of the kick instead of blocking it, creating distance and trying to get him away from the children and the old man against a man of the attacking reputation and based on the skills he had already displayed. Zabuza would be expected to prioritize the biggest threat, not sparing an instant to target the old man he had been tasked with, murder or the brats. And of course, attack had managed to drop some thistles as a trap, forcing Zabuza to hesitate. But he is an arrogant fool if he plans to lure me into a field in which I specialize in using weapons. Faster than attack could react. Zabuza caught the fake legend in a prison technique. Water, it's over. Aku knew it. Zabuza sama is also pouring his own chakra into the jutzu to prevent attack from using any of those lightning jutzu he is so famous for. He may have the physical conditioning to hold his breath for a long time, but Zabuza sama's chakra levels are up to the task of maintaining the jutzu. All that's left is to kill Tazuna and those jinn so that no witnesses will be available for the hidden blade. Maybe I can convince Zabuza Samad to forgive the children. Perhaps if I point out to him the retribution that his village may try to bring down on us. No, it's wait. Maybe he already decided to do this and that's why he's just playing with them, giving them a chance to escape. It was still sad to see the ends of the blade getting ready to fight with someone who outclassed him to a ridiculous degree. With a slight surprise, Aku watched the short blonde guy cheer on his teammates. Despite the orders to flee that their superior spent his precious heir to desperately yell at them to just run. However, the boy definitely had guts, shouting his defiance and insulting a man who so far had not made any serious attempts to kill any of them. Yes, a certain courage and daring. Skill and intelligence, not so much. He made that accusation against a Joonan captain, even if he was just a water clone, to get his headband back. To help you in your statement that it would be Okage. Well, that's interesting at least. However, the boy's use of a cloning technique capable of creating so many solid copies was more fascinating, especially since Aku could not confirm what its composition was. Not that it made a real difference as the copies were casually dispelled by Zabuza sama's cubicuribo, the executioner's sword. Undaunted and even when he was sent to skate on the floor, the boy Narut Yuzumaki it was passed a big fuma shuriken to his teammate, the black-haired guy who had an interesting clan shield on his back. Anyway, he chose to throw the shuriken at the real Zabuza sama, not the water clone that had been humiliating them. E, there is a second shuriken hidden under the first one for a shadow shuriken technique. Although it's not enough to hinder Zabuza sama, it's still a better plan than I thought they would have. He also has a decent ability to throw it that way, which explains why he was the one who received the shuriken. Ah, there we have it. And so what? Aku watched in disbelief as Zabuza effortlessly caught the first shuriken and jumped on the second, only for the latter to disappear in a flash of smoke to reveal the young Yuzumaki trying to surprise his target from behind. A masterful plan that made it possible for Jyn to cut one of the seven ninja swordsmen of the mist. But what was that technique? Had he really changed his shape to a different solid object instead of just an elucory cover? Who is that guy? Aku asked himself. He's acting like a suicidal idiot, but it has potential. Unfortunately, if he kept rushing like that, he would be killed before he had a chance to unlock it. Shocked, the young ice release user almost lost Kakashi, breaking free from his prison when an enraged Zabuza sama withdrew his arm from the water ball to retaliate, and the ninja copia charged forward to protect her student, releasing all her murderous intent to make her target nervous. Narut sensei Jonan praised after throwing said child to dry land where the rest of his precious team seven was. Your plan was brilliant. You've grown up all of you. Nar laughing continued to explain exactly how he had carried out his plan. I'll have to teach him not to explain his plans to the enemy. Kauashi pointed out. So Zabuz amused. You sent me into such a rage that I undid the jutzu that held the water prison together. No, you didn't drop your own jutzu. It was broken from the outside. Deciding that the sharing in Jenjitsu he was carefully placing over Zabuza as they stared at each other with murderous fierceness was ready enough, Kakashi decided to get down to business. Just so you know, the same jutzu won't work on me twice. Jumping back, Kauashi roared at the man who had dared to try to kill his students. You said it yourself, Zabuza. I'm a man famous for copying thousands of techniques. It's time you understood what that means. Hemp and how many of them? Those are just useless range of. Ignoring him, Kauashi went on the offensive like a vengeful wolf. Kauashi quickly pierced through the hand seals for the water bullet technique, causing a powerful torrent of water to burst out of the lake beside him, rushing straight towards Zabuza. The assassin countered with more water clones which approached Kauashi. And although several were destroyed when Kauashi redirected his attack, enough were able to dodge him to reach their target, knowing that they would lack the power of the original, Kauashi decided to dispatch him only with a kunai. Deliberately leaving his back exposed as a faint, even while dodging the cutting swords to dispel the doppelgangers. Not being fooled by this false opportunity, the real Zabuza decided to attack from the front and from below. Coming out of the lake while brandishing the executioner's sword while planning to cut both his clones and the ninja captain without to know that his target had anticipated this. Sorry, Zabuza. You may be stronger and faster than me, but it's not enough to overcome my sharing. And as an added bonus, eight doors, first door, opening door. Zabuza couldn't help but swear to himself in disbelief as Kauashi countered his underwater ambush. Somehow possessing the strength to block the swordsman's huge sword with nothing but a cunea knife. While fighting the leaf child, the exmis suddenly lost his balance even more as the lake seemed to dissolve into a whirlpool. Zabuza struggled to regain his wits as the lake seemed to be consuming itself as it rapidly receded. What? No, he's using a clone and an earth jutzu to drain the lake, even though he was a skilled leader, a master swordsman, and assassin. The Misdemons water jutzu skills were not up to par. That's why he had waited to attend to an ambush for them by a water fountain. Pre-existing water that I could draw firm. Kakashi, on the other hand, was primarily a lightning user who also had skill with ground techniques, meaning he was altering geography to favor himself, especially since he wouldn't have to. Worrying that the water would conduct your electricity in some way you wouldn't want to. Even more worryingly, for some strange reason, Zabuza felt a little weird. Taking advantage of a brief respit while the two groups separated after another clash of weapons and bending down to dodge a pair of shuriken that Kauashi had thrown, Zabuza turned on his chakra in case he was under a jingjitsu. But, but no, he felt no difference. Something's still wrong. But what poison? This is bad. Aku thought grimly with his eyes wide open, still hidden from view. Zabuza sama can't take her eyes off the sering. It's almost like I'm under some kind of jenjitsu. No, wait, he is. Attack must be skillful enough to make one subtle enough that Zabuza sama won't notice he's under one. And strong enough that routine interruptions of his chakra network won't work. Maybe a multi-layered genjutsu. Zabuza has to disappear back into the fog if he wants to win. Except now that his temper is upset. He's too obsessed with direct combat. Realizing the likely outcome of this fight, Aku began to move forward stealthily, aiming at a tree that would give him a panoramic view of the fight while standing close to where he predicted which way the general flow of the battle. Meanwhile, Zabuza sama exchanged a water element bullet, water dragon, with Kauashi's equally massive one. Zabu Zasama feels that he has learned enough about attacking and with his anger intensifying his impatience. He is pulling out the big guns and on the attack he is matching it. No, he's copying it. He is very slight but his sharing allows him to imitate any physical movement that Zabuza sama performs. What followed was chilling for Aku as he witnessed his teacher becoming vulnerable to the psychological warfare of the attack itself who used his mimicry to put on. Nervous to his enemy and then act as if he was reading his mind by completing the sentences of Zabu Assama himself. Knowing that the leaf boy was preparing his final blow, Aku pulled out two needles on Bon, preparing to fake his master's death by aiming at his neck to put him into a coma. It was risky, but Aku had done it before, allowing his master to return to kill his enemies once, even to snatch the reward the man was trying to collect for killing Zabuzu sama. Aku's teacher had been laughing for days about that. And if attack smelled something strange, tired as he was after such an exhausting fight, Aku should be able to beat him easily. Zabua sama would forgive him. Kauashi attack of the Sheringan. I felt a small satisfaction when he finally managed to put Zabuza in checkmate, using multiple illusions to manipulate him. The man had resorted to his most powerful water jutzu, water element, great waterfall technique. But Kauashi's superior vision and his psychological warfare allowed him to read the movements that Zabuza would make before he took them too. Corporal, which made it easier for Kakashi to launch his attack first. The crushing force of the water caused the man's battered body to rush through the air to hit a tree trunk. Taking out some kunai, Kakashi prepared a standard series to finish off a living legend, aiming three at the torso and one at the neck. Then he stopped when two sembles suddenly appeared in the swordsman's throat, seemingly out of nowhere. Kakasi looked up and increased his chakra in case it was a genjutsu. He blinked in surprise at the sight of a masked member of Vladimists amboo hunter operations. The young man offered a polite apology for interfering, claiming that he wanted to kill him himself. Based on his build and voice, he was dealing with someone only slightly older than Kauashi's own students. Except that he had still risen to claim one of the most elite positions within the ninja world. An order tasked with hunting their prey alone, eliminating any lost girls they found without anyone watching their backs. He's not an average kid. That's for sure. I'm pretending, but I'm reaching my limit. And the longer this lasts, the longer I will have to keep my Seringan active and consume more chakra. Zabuz's death is the only thing that matters. I won't be able to take his corpse to study. Carefully approaching the man in question while keeping an eye on the motionless amboo hunter, Kauashi checked Zabuza's pulse for half a minute, confirming that he was indeed a corpse. Unexpectedly, Narut ran towards them, shouting his confusion about who that masked stranger was and whether his casual killing of the bloody mist demon meant that the team seven members sucked. Without losing sight of the new potential threat, Kakashi approached and calmed Nar. "Oh well, you have my sympathy," he said to his student. "I can see that something like that would be difficult to accept, but it's a fact you'll have to live with. This probably won't be the last time we meet a boy who is younger than you and stronger than me. Kauashi could have given more details about it, except that unfortunately, the best examples of young prodigies in the recent history of the village hidden among the leaves were the same. It would be too arrogant to mention it. Itachi, it's unwise to mention him for a number of reasons. And Oroshimaru, a third bad role model. Perhaps in retrospect, I should have kept my mouth shut. For his part, Aku, still in his amboo hunter costume, jumped up and picked up the unconscious body of Zabu Zasama. A glance had confirmed that the semen had been accurately placed, but this moment of vulnerability was when everything was at greatest risk. Fortunately, the attacking body language indicated that he had no interest in fighting. Moreover, based on the copier boy's previous behavior and his current closeness to his Gin Rubio, it was likely that his priority was to protect his GS from any active threat, not to retrieve the corpses. Your battle is over. Live for now. And now I must get rid of the remains. He lied. So that they do not reveal our secrets to our enemies. Well, then I must go. Waveand a team seven clans having recovered from his death well enough to move and remove the semen from his throat though not enough to actually move Zabuza looked up to looking at his tool. You saw the whole fight didn't you? Aqua felt with her head. Although Kauashi attack is a formidable enemy from what he showed he is only a threat if you face him headon. Zabuza sama his students were also interesting. Zabuza frowned at this, but he knew that Aku was right. The trick that the blonde brat had played on him, albeit with the help of the other guy, had been brilliant. If the dwarf had been even a little more skilled, he could have hurt Sabuza when he left him blind. Hell, if the kid had only had a long range offensive C-rank jutzu when I had my back to him, or a better throwing arm, he might have even killed me. That's how unprepared he was. and those jutzu I was using beforehand. The swordsman frowned. The brat had been spouting some nonsense at some point, but Zabuza had just ignored him, thinking that even if he didn't kill them all to avoid Liz's retaliation for her youngsters, they couldn't possibly have anything. Interesting thing to say. What did you find out about them? The one with black hair has the symbol of the clan on his back, which I think is the although I'll have to check my scrolls to see if I can verify it. As for the other guy, how much did you hear him say? Zabuza did not respond to the diplomatic rebuke as he always stressed the importance of full and honest feedback. He identified himself as Narut Naruto Yuzumaki. At this, Zabuza paused while she put on the bandages on her face. In the ninja world, weapons with special powers, such as Oroshimaru's Kusanagi sword, were priceless. The art of making them was practically lost during the brutal waring states period. As the craftsmen capable of creating such artifacts were the main targets. The last recorded individual capable of doing so was the lord the second time. However, most of the remaining weapons were wielded by the seven mist ninja swordsmen, a group that Zabuza still considered himself a part of. Those particular swords came from a variety of sources and some of the current ones were even replacements for the ones destroyed during previous battles. Despite this, most of them came from the seal loving Yuzui clan of Yuziagure, the village hidden by the whirlpools. They had been handed over as part of peace treaties after wars or torn from their dead hands on the battlefield. Unfortunately, there were no more Yuzumaki left after the fall of Yuzuagakure at the hands of Ibagakure. Or so Zabuza had thought. Now, while it was possible that the boy was lying or that he had been lied to, since he seemed too stupid to be subtle, Zabuza suspected that he really was Yuzumaki, it seemed unlikely that someone like Kauashi attack would tolerate such a deception. In addition, the brat's study partner seemed to be an acha. Zabuza fully trusted the memory of his student, another legendarily powerful clan that was supposed to be dead, except for his executioner, of course. So, putting the last survivors of two legendary clans under someone as an attack made sense, especially considering their own sharing. What did that say about the girl with the pink hair? His behavior was just to catch him offguard. Interesting. Very interesting indeed. Sabuza pondered. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I am a ninja with a contract, and I will fulfill it. Zabuza turned to look at his apprentice. I didn't look for the shadows and knives hiding in the fog, and I almost paid for it with my life, he growled, wincing as his battered body screamed in pain. That won't happen again. Aku, we need more information. Get it? His tool obediently nodded again in agreement, no doubt having come to the same conclusion long before Zabuza. The perfect weapon, land of waves, Tazuna's house, as she slowly recovered. Mind, Kakashi began to carefully plan his campaign against whoever God sent to kill Tazuna next. A minute after ambus hunter had left and who in retrospect was probably an impostor. Kauashi had collapsed from using his sharing in too much and depleting too much chakra. He would probably need a week of rest for a full recovery which was about the same amount of time he calculated. It would take for Zabuza to recover if he had actually been put into the death-like state. Also, Cat would need at least a few days to find some new muscle to ship. Meanwhile, his jin needed to become stronger and faster to deal with the lackeyis that the former fog ninja would bring with him. Consequently, the team 7 training program would have to be accelerated. So, to start, I would ask them to do the tree climbing exercise to improve their chakra control and increase their reserves. Well, Ikinda failed in my plan to keep the kids out of it. Still, they exceeded my expectations, so maybe they can handle what's to come. Zabuza was a captain of Anbu Hunters before he joined the Seven Swordsmen, but they still pulled that prank on him, even though one of them evidently forgot everything he should have learned in school. I mean, honestly, how could Nar need a remedial lesson on what the chakra is? This is as basic as the importance of stealth, which you seem to have forgotten as well. Fine. Still, they are improving at a phenomenal rate. Kauashi assured himself. Sure, that I'm just starting to teach them ninjutsu while they're in the middle of a rank mission. Might seem a little irresponsible to some people, except that they can clearly handle it. And anyway, I'm still clearly stronger than Zabuza. Whatever future threats we face on this mission, they should continue to focus on me. All I have to do is make sure my sweet little grin. Incredibly, there was barely a hint of sarcasm. Are strong enough to stay with life long enough for me to take care of the matter and come to take down whoever they're dealing with. Land of waves forest not far from Tazuna's house. Aku's silent observations had been going well so far, using a combination of ice mirrors to infiltrate and observe, as well as his mastery of stealth to survive, even to Kauashi attack. However, he had been very cautious with such a legendary shinobi, so he had only caught a few details. However, what had been discovered so far was still rewarding. First, the copy girl was obviously more hurt than he looked when Ha was gone. Evidently, the sharing demanded a lot of chakra from him. In addition, his jin team seemed to be receiving elemental training in chakra control and increasing their stamina. Although it is strange that they are just starting with that. They are 12 years old and they are his students. They should have known that a long time ago. Or is that how the sheet teaches? Aku decided to take a break today and went out to get some herbs to help Zabuza sama heal. The man shouldn't have any more problems after Aku broke Gatau's arm as a warning. Besides, Attack was still too busy recovering to go out and explore. After a lot of thought, Aku chose the kimona he would wear for this outing. She chose a beautiful sleeveless pink kimona with pale red edges and decorated with small plum-colored swirls. It looked just beautiful on her. Although he would never admit it to anyone else, picking on people was one of Aku's hobbies, and that included being an effeminite guy. Capable of confusing people without any discernable effort. However, her favorite practice was to dress up as a girl. Not only was it funny to watch people treat him like a helpless, innocent little girl, but their reactions when they found out he was actually a man were just hilarious. Only Zabuza was not afraid of it. And that was because he had been close to his tool for so long. As long as the dress had concealed weapons on it, it was fine. Although the man was probably reassured by the fact that Aku managed to flirt with a lot of girls quite often. After a while of wandering around the forest, collecting the necessary plants, Aku came across an unexpected vision. The self-proclaimed future Okage, Narut Yuzumaki, who had successfully confronted the blood mist demon long enough to free his master and superior. Someone who had frankly abysmal chakra control based on previous espionage. But he also had the wits to trick Zabuza sama as well as some interesting jutzu. Unlike a proper child, he had a loud personality and a fashion choice. And yet, he was able to rise to the challenge of overcoming even Zabuza sama's fearsome aura and murderous intent. And yet, there he was now, sleeping in the middle of the forest when he was supposed to be protecting his client from potential assassins. By the way, have you really been out all night? Why haven't any of your team members come looking for you? Is it all an act or is it really an accumulation of contradictions? Slowly, Aku extended his hand towards the boy. It would be so easy, wouldn't it? Breaking her neck like I did with the cat arm. I wouldn't even feel anything. He who am I kidding? Nar woke up with a gentle jolt and opened his eyes to see the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. with her pale face framed by long, thick brown hair. Belatedly, she realized that he was telling her in such a lovely voice that she would catch a cold if she slept out in the open on a morning like that. She sat up suddenly to hide her blush and then gallantly asked him what he was doing and if there was any way he could help her. The morning passed while Narut was helping the strange girl who introduced herself as Aku. She was a local girl and she was gathering some medicines to help an injured friend. Narut who was not used to someone listening to him and responding to him was glad to be able to talk while they were working. Finally, their conversation turned to Gateau and the difficulties in the country of waves. Aku was evasive about it, but in a way he knew that she was uncomfortable talking about the difficulties she was going through. It was also clear that she was an orphan and apart from her friend, she lived alone to a large extent. You too, ha. Aku blinked in surprise at her statement. I'm an orphan, too. Still, things have improved a lot in my life. It seems that things have been the same for you if you have a friend to help you too. As if feeling uncomfortable with the direction the conversation was taking, Aku looked away for a moment before asking, "So, what were you doing?" In the middle of nowhere at dawn training, he burst out with an expression that was somehow comical and serious at the same time. With a look of surprise, he asked more. "Really? That headband you're wearing, are you some kind of girl?" "Why is that?" he screamed. "Do you think I look like one?" "Do I believe it?" "Really?" "Because I am. He definitely has some self-esteem issues. Or at the very least, he's looking for attention. Especially with that bright orange color," he diagnosed Q. "Wow, that's amazing." He laughed. gratefully as his ego was stroked. What are you training for? To strengthen me? But but you look so strong and manly already. Blatant lie with the subtle signs of slight malnutrition and the aforementioned horrible orange clothes. Actually, Aku was only saying this because it made being a guy dressed as a girl even more fun. Besides, people missed more things when their braggadocio was encouraged. Right. Right. Then in a slightly lower voice, he added, "I have to be much stronger than this." Aku stared in silence for a moment, trying to decipher the person in front of him. While impressing a pretty girl was obviously influencing what he was saying, there seemed to be a noticeable determination in his eyes, a willpower that Aku had come to expect from older, more experienced ninjas. In order to investigate further, but why? to become the leader of my hometown. All the people who used to treat me like trash will have to say he's the number one ninja. And right at this moment, I have to prove something to a certain person I know. Someone who thinks there are no heroes in this world anymore. But I will prove my worth to him by saving this country from cat and whoever he sends for me. Once again, Aku stared at him silently but intensely. There was too much raw information in the boy's simple statements to analyze. Despite this, it was obvious that the Yuzumaki boy was someone who had grown up alone and wanted to prove his worth to those who had rejected him, to get him recognized. But why would the son of such a famous clan be rejected, especially in the hidden leaf? And his drive comes solely from his need to be noticed by everyone, or he really wants to prove his worth for his own sake. In addition, he still sees ninjas as heroes, people who can only help others and never harm the innocent. Is that how it is on the sheet that their more peaceful philosophies allow them to believe that they are the good guys? And of course, without knowing it, he threw the glove at me because Zabuza sama and I will fight him and his friends later. What an interesting conversation is this turning out to be. All this passed through his mind in an instant. Upon making a snap judgment, the killer decided he wanted to learn more from Nar and chose to open up more to his own life to do so. Are you doing this for the sake of that person or for your own satisfaction? Narly returned his gaze with narrowed eyes, a silly look that completely portrayed his incomprehension? What? Everything was so ridiculous. Aku couldn't help the childish giggle that escaped him, causing Nar to ask out loud what was so funny. while keeping that stupid squint. Finally, Aku regained self-control. Do you have someone special in your life? In retrospect, Aku had to admit that given his deliberately childish attitude, that could be misinterpreted as something flirtatious, which possibly showed that Zabuza sama's sadism had rubbed off on her a bit, but not in the way his master would have wanted. Not at all. Just thinking about Zabuza sama in this context brings Aku's memories to the four oblivious to Narut's confusion as the young girl stared into the void. Their father, a man who had sworn to love and protect them with his life as long as he lived, had found out that Aku's mother had a lineage ability. How that revelation somehow made in his eyes his family become monsters and he had killed his wife for that and he would have murdered his son too. Instead, the icy power of Aku's inheritance had instinctively risen up to save him and stain him with his father's blood. Still lost in his thoughts, he found himself reliving his life of loneliness on the streets with no one to love him. without a reason to live. Where every waking day was a struggle not to stay lying on the ground until the end finally came until that man appeared with his hands also soaked in blood both of sinners and innocent. Giving a worthless orphan a reason to live, to be happy, and the will to face each new dawn. With an effort, Aku turned away from his past to look at Nar, a boy who could share a rather similar story and perhaps his own personal philosophy, his way of being a ninja, with him. So calmly and simply, he said, when people protect something that is really valuable to them, they can become so strong, as they should be, he could see that the blonde was getting lost in his thoughts in turn as he reflected on his own experiences. In fact, Naruto remembered examples like Irukas and the day Naruto became a full-fledged ninja. Kakashi's words when they faced that eyebrowless monster, Zabuza, saying that he would not let any of his companions die. Stories like the one about the fourth Okage defeating the ninetailed fox or Inari's father, Quesa, who Tazuna said believed and lived up to his philosophy of protecting something precious to you with all your might. Fortunately, Narut seemed to have gotten the message. He smiled and nodded, "Yes, I know everything." With an answering smile, Aku got up with his basket of herbs and walked away. With one last parting comment, "You will become stronger, and I hope we will meet again." In fact, Aku decided that that it would be nice to talk to the young blonde again. Although, maybe next time I should tell her that I'm a guy. His reaction should be priceless. land of waves forest just outside Tazuna's house. A few days later, Nar could only sit with his mouth open. He had met Aku again when the boy had been collecting more herbs. This being their third meeting. Surely, it was better than staying in the house with that Inari brat. Even if what Kauashi had told the boy had calmed him down now, the future Okage had come to really enjoy these moments when they were together while chatting about everything under the sun. Aku couldn't stay too long as he had to come back to help her, but they both had time to have a little laugh. However, as he was walking away this time, Aku, without even turning his head to look at Nar had informed the blonde that he was actually a boy. What? She is even more feminine than Sakura. She even talks like a little girl. Since then, Narut had simply been sitting there trying to go over everything they had said together. And he was also questioning his sexuality. Land of waves. Zabuza's hideout. Zabuza moment. Mochi nodded his head in agreement as his tool finished outlining the plan he believed his master should follow. Using an improved version of the concealment technique in the mist would be expensive in chakra, but jutzu would still be beneficial enough. It seemed that Kakashi had come to base his fighting style on his sering, so robbing the man of his most fearsome weapon would make him nervous and limit his options. It would still require careful work on Zabuza's part. Relying only on her hearing, except that was her weapon of choice. His observations during their first meeting would help him attack Kauashi psychologically. Also, that was one of the few areas in which he still surpassed Aku due to his more mundane experience. Although perhaps he should consider looking for another tool of his own age, Zabuzum used a partner or someone to interact with, someone to help you learn more about about people. Besides, the seven swordsmen were always better as a team. Herm and Aqua has been enjoying spending time with that Yuzumaki guy. I would say too much, but there is potential there. Zabuza quickly hardened his heart and corrected his chain of thoughts. They would have to be willing to be my tool, of course, and only to help Aqua become a better killer. Seeing his Prit G walking away to prepare his own weapons and the necessary materials for the traps if the first plan failed, Zabuza admitted that there was another reason to find another partner. Thus, if the master died, his tool would not be left alone in the world. Zabuza had ordered Aku to never take his own life if the first one died to keep living. But the boy had based his whole life on the older man. Father, figure, mentor, leader, and sole purpose of existence. How the child would cope without his owner in his life. Aku could take on Zabuza's goals and ambitions. Except it would be an empty commitment at best, as the boy defined himself by others. And what kind of swordsman would Zabuza be if he let his best weapon go to waste rusting if he wasn't around to carry it anymore? Previously, while Team 7 is preparing for their second round with Zabuza, Nar has had several meetings with a mysterious boy named Aku before becoming friends with him. Of course, Aku let Naruto think that the first one was a girl for a while, just for fun. Land of Waves, the house of Tazuna. Kakashi took one last look at the perimeter before leaving with Suzuk and Sakura to protect Tazuna for the day. Nar had worked himself to exhaustion again the night before, so he decided to let him sleep and rest completely. The bridge is almost finished, so Gotto and his goons will have to do something soon. We can't risk any of us getting tired during a fight. I'll have to talk to Nar tonight to tone it down a bit. Even their resistance has limits. Land of waves, the bridge under construction. Zabuza took one last look around the perimeter before nodding his head towards Aku. The stage was set for the coming confrontation. Today, she would strengthen her position in the world girl with the death of one of the living legends of the blade and maybe even take the man's sharing. He had no interest in having such a cheap trick for himself. But if he lacked the ability to turn it into something available and preserve his advantage somehow, he should abandon his ambitions. Aku calmly approached firm behind with the last of the construction workers leaning on his right shoulder. All of them were alive, unlike Aku's argument that a reputation for killing civilians would only hinder Zabuza and his ambitions. Killing enemy girls, preferably adults, was a more profitable image and not just to get a stable income. Instead, the civilians had only been beaten and then put into states of death and left lying on the ground in prepared positions. To help make the attack, Jyn nervous, which in turn would make their master more vulnerable. Zabuza sama, has the forest been covered? Yes, Aku. If anyone tries to come from the shore by any other way than the road, we will know about it. He Are you still sure we shouldn't put something in the water? No. Anyway, I want him to be confined to the bridge. If it moves towards the water, I still have an advantage there. And you'll remember only a long tolerance kept Zabuza from rolling her eyes. You'd think it was my mom instead of my gun. Without noticing the turn, he said, "Yes, I'll keep trying and I'll hit the road and I'll work to scare him off. Thank you, Zabuza sama." A few minutes later, with a flash of kunai, Kauashi dispelled the ambush of Zabuza's water cones surrounding him. Only their incredible reflexes prevented the copies from taking down Kauashi's students and employer with a massive coordinated swing of their oversized swords. Seriously, Zabuza must have heard every possible variation that you are overcompensating, which there was. So he said, letting his voice be heard. You survived, Zabuza. With a sneer, Zabuza slowly emerged from the accumulated fog. Fearlessly, he looked Kakashi straight in the eyes, while the masked hunter firm earlier showed his true loyalty. By walking alongside the blood mist demon. That's mine," Suzuk stated calmly, walking to the side to stand directly in front of his nameless enemy. "It was a great show that you put on before, but now we discovered you and I hate shitty actors." "Seuk is so cool," Sakura shouted while Kakashi was dripping with sweat from the hypocritically dramatic that he was being Suzuk. Not to mention that Sakura defied everything Naruto said or did, but still took Suzuk completely at face value without question. Accepting the invitation, Aku charged forward at high speed and was surprised when Luchia seemed able to match him. Land of waves, path leading to the bridge. Nar ran towards the bridge, desperate to help his teammates. Shortly after waking up, two thugs attacked Tazuna's house. Fortunately, Nar had seen a wild boar that had been slaughtered for fun on his way there and had returned, which meant he had been there to witness the courage Inari had shown in trying to stop those idiots. But if God is going after them, something must be happening on the bridge, too. Land of waves, the bridge, Suzuk slumped to the ground, his muscles sagging from the sembles, piercing pressure points all over his whole body. When the masked boy revealed his true power, Ceuk was able to resist a little longer, awakening his true Uchia heritage, the Seringan. Unfortunately, his superior vision only allowed him to dodge the projectiles by a hair, leaving him shattered by the nearby shots, gradually dying. Nothing he tried could make a difference. And when Sakura broke away from protecting Tazuna to try to help, the fake hunter simply grabbed his crib and threw it in the air. He's seriously doing more harm than good. Inevitably, his opponent had noticed a direct hit on Ceuk's pressure points, paralyzing most of his body. Though still leaving him conscious, Zabuza gloated as he confronted Kakashi, daring the other man to expose himself to try to help Yuchia. He even if by some miracle you defeat me, you still won't have what it takes to kill Aku. Ever since he was a little kid, I've instilled his fighting skills in him. Even in the face of unthinkable adversities, he has always prevailed. He has lost all respect for his own life and has become a killing machine, a real ninja. His skills surpass even mine. And he carries within him a formidable legacy of a limit of inherited lineage. Thus, I have forged and carry with me a weapon of incomparable quality and skill. Totally different firm the garbage leftovers that follow your footsteps. Then, using the brief distraction, while Kauashi processed the lately useless details that Zabuza had dropped, Zabuza prepared to activate her powerful water element, hiding in the fog before Kauashi. He had the opportunity to activate his sharing. A shuriken flew out of nowhere and hit Aku on the mask, distracting him. While Narut loudly charged, "Youaki Nar, at your service. Here I am to save the day. You know how the story goes. Things look bleak until the hero arrives." And then, "Pow! Goodbye, bad guys." Without further delay, he jumped right between the gaps of the mirrors to join Ceuk in the death trap. "Seuk, I'm here to rescue you." The reactions to Nar's rash and reckless performance, and his subsequent distraction with a shouting match with Suzuk were revealing. Sakura and Suzuk just yelled at Nar for still being an idiot, as was his usual response. Kakashi was a little less biased against Nar, but he was also seeing too much of the attention-seeking village Joker at the moment for anyone's good. Infuriating little guy, what we needed was an ambush. Instead, he practically paints himself a target and then jumps straight into the firing line. Now she's just another person I have to save. Except that the moment I try to make a move, Zabuza will simply counter it and I will be wasting my mindless chakra if not my life. For Zabuza and Aku, everything was completely confused. On the one hand, the guy had set a shining example of ninja tactical deception and had demonstrated mastery of some highlevel jutzes. Now they were just seeing an idiot. Was it all a performance to catch the unprepared? Did he have some kind of brain ailment or his need for attention and his naivity regarding ninja life were really that extreme? Everyone was so focused on this that Kakashi, Zabuza, and Aku almost missed Kunai's reign and letter bombs that appeared out of nowhere. Land of waves, the house of Tazuna. Tsunami could barely recognize her son. Her baby, her most precious person, was arming herself to form an army of people who would march against God and his bullies. Pride and fear swelled in his chest as he went to follow him while secretly praying that attack sand already had low control whatever was happening on the bridge. Land of waves the bridge. Kakashi cursed rudely as he backed up and through the earth element earth dome to lift a part of the bridge to protect himself. Sakura and Tazuna from the sudden hell of explosions. Zabuza used water element water prison to surround themselves in a ball of super dense water to protect themselves. While Aku and his own opponents were safely inside the ice element, crystal ice mirrors, the composure of the former misted girls faltered as they all turned to see who was responsible for the new attack. Just a few seconds away, they were heading towards the bridge. Eight masked men and women with the symbol of the village hidden in the bloody fog on their foreheads. Amboo Hunters of the Mist, this time real. The fact that the Mist ninjas acted as a team only underscored the threat they posed, as most amboo hunters acted alone. That meant that these men and women had been brought together in advance for a specific task and were experts in collaborating together. As the eight hunters approached, Zabuza quickly activated his enhanced version of water release, hiding in the mist and with an iron will suppressed his urge to curse loudly so as not to reveal how worried he really was. Cat must have been paying attention when I mentioned attack and he realized that he could not only keep a part of my reward, but with him as well. But why did they throw themselves like that instead of waiting until we were more injured? Unless of course they want attack and the Uchia brat sharing. They would kill all those people at home for having a lineage. But to refuse a sharing and a child who can create more is too tempting. What hypocrites. They must have worried Aku and I. And I thought I would kill them first. Besides capturing attack of all the living people to torture him and get information out of him would be a great help on its own. They will also want me alive to learn. No, I'll die first. Kauashi and Zabuza immediately separated and quietly agreed to a temporary ceasefire while dealing with this one. Mutual threat. However, the enemy of my enemy was still his enemy. However, Aku had no such reservations. He was happy to see an opportunity to spare the life of the young Jynin in front of him. He quickly turned to Nar. Our dispute seems to be over. We should be allies. If Kakashi had had enough concentration to listen to this offer, he would have shouted a resounding no, to which it would sound like a trap to him. However, Narut, much more inexperienced, took the opportunity to accept. Maybe everyone could figure this out while he came out looking totally awesome. There you have it. Let's get these rude idiots. With Zabuza knowing that he had to get away a bit from attack, Zabuza quickly jumped to get under the bridge. With three of the hunters following him, acting on his memory and trusting him. The fog he had created, Zabuza dodged and made his way between the support pillars even though they were completely hidden. As expected, one of the traps that the Iaku had set exploded as one of the two hasty pursuers hooked a cable. Unfortunately, they used the substitution technique to survive. They may have even seen us preparing them, so they weren't so surprised. It doesn't matter. That momentary respit is all I need to give everything. It's about time they sent real teams to get me, actually, given all the solo ax I've killed. Heck, we even got Aku's mask from the third attempt. While running to gain more distance, Zabuza moved his mouth to grab a military ration pill hidden under the bandages of his face, but refrained from eating it for a few seconds. He quickly cut his thumb with his sword and rose through the hand signals to summon the allies of the seven ninja swordsmen of the mist, infesting the waters with sharks as he swallowed. No doubt they have some plan to deal with them, but they should have underestimated how much my chakra has grown since I defected and how many I can summon now. In addition, with this pill, I have already replenished my chakra. So, now the fun begins. The hunters did not disappoint the demons wrath and charged forward to fight their enemy with Kauashi, Sakura, and Tazuna with Zabuza and therefore the center of the artificial fog moving away. Kakashi was actually benefiting from the margins of that concealment. The remaining fog around him was light enough that his sharing could see his three opponents while they were still suffering from vision problems. Unfortunately, it was also becoming quite clear that it was possible that Kauashi had gotten into trouble this time. He hadn't considered any scenario involving third party intervention in the conflict. And now team 7 was outnumbered and he was the only one who had any chance of getting them out of this alive. They have the advantage as I still have to keep Sakura and Tazuna safe. I can't turn my back on them. And judging by those explosions underneath, Zabuza has set booby traps which I also didn't take into account which amu hunters probably know about. So I have to keep this fight confined here and too close to my students. Nothing but rookie mistakes. Mercilessly, he turned away from such thoughts to cooly focus on what he needed to do to save everyone in his care. A quick glance with his sharing revealed that none of his opponents were clones, which was a relief. Kakashi created a shadow clone and sent it to take out Sakura and Tazuna while he charged head-on against his enemies. With the Q&A in hand, his intention wasn't to kill them, yet just to keep them off balance with quick back and forth attacks between the three of them, distracting them and keeping them busy. While the clone grabbed Sakura and Tazuna and carried them to safety of all, they were the links weaker. However, when he faced the hunters, it became clear that it would be more difficult than expected. They had good reflexes and predictably they had been taught to fight someone using silent assassination. Meaning they could still anticipate to some extent where he was going to attack even in that one. This artificial fog. Fortunately, even threeon-one, his sharing ensured he could still land some punches, though nothing deep. To hell with this, one of them yelled at his teammate, "All do it." With his senses tingling, Kauashi struggled to anticipate what was coming. When suddenly, he heard heavy objects being thrown in all directions and was hit by the explosion of a mass. Kakashi's clone tried to retreat silently, but he hadn't managed to get his charges far enough, and the concussion instantly dissipated him. Neither Sakura nor Tazuno were prepared, and they flew out further from the bridge, away from the shore, and from where Aku and Narut were, and they became unconscious. with Aku and Nar. The last two hunters targeted Aku and Nar and split up to attack them separately. The largest of them was at the front with a large two-handed blade with which he brutally attacked Aku. To their surprise, Aku rose to the challenge and charged to face them with a sembach. Aku's specialty was stealth assassination and medium and long range combat. However, he was a prodigious student who wished to have the best weapon. a man who was an expert in all distances and was a recognized master in hand-to-hand combat. Of course, Aku could fight up close and dirty. Also, if these two specifically targeted him as part of a pre-planned murder, that means they expected him to try to distance himself from them, that they had some strategy for just that. Therefore, Aku would deny them pleasure. Not to mention that in the time it took Aku to get to a safe distance, Narut would already be shattered. Despite this surprise, the leading ambu hunter went on the offensive, throwing blow after blow with his oversized sword. Relying on the strength of his arms and his sword to cut through any opposition. As if Zabuza sama would accept such a weak tool, Aku thought coldly. My training has not only been to make me stronger, but also to provide you with a training partner to encourage your own development. As a student of a master swordsman in a country that idealized them, Aku had long ago learned to fight swords and other long-bladed weapons. With the grace of a dancer, he dodged and dodged every attack. When he saw an opportunity, he would hit the flat part of the blade with his left hand to deflect it and then stab with the other. With his knowledge of the human body, a single stab could kill or incapacitate as needed. A perfect fusion of his fighting style and a more merciful personality. However, his enemy was an ambu for a reason, and he twisted so that while the semb was thrust into his dominant hand. It did not reach the dominant muscles and arteries, and he clung to his sword. Upon recovering, he lowered his huge blade to split Aku's skull, only to growl in further disbelief. When Aku blocked the heavy weapon with only a slender arm and a single Sebin, it seems that they are still focused on Zabuza sama and they can't find out what they need about me. It's good to know that the plan is still working well. Her slender figure concealed the power to crush a man's bones with just the clenching of his hands. And those Senban were actually icicles reinforced and hardened by his chakra. This was child's play. The only flaw of this fighting style was that he had to use only one semb to be able to block. Unlike the usual four that he could hold to throw with his fingers out of focus, he had a new Sebin on his right hand, but the amboo quickly recovered and changed to a style he favored. The rapid cuts, his sword was a constantly moving ray of light in the thinning fog. In turn, Aku was as firm and immobile as a glacier, holding his ground while dodging or parrying every blow that came at him with minimal effort. while counterattacking with quick stabs that prevented the missed ninja firm. Gori will bring its volume too close. At first glance, it seemed that Aku was stuck defensively except that this was nothing compared to training against Zabu Zasama himself. Senban after Senban began to drill the Sambu and although none was significant so far, the cost began to increase. Aku redirected another attack with his left senban and tried to stab one of the man's arms with his right, but realized too late that it was a faint as his opponent had more experience than expected. In a lightning fast turn, the man lunged forward again with chakra sprouting from his feet to hit Aku with his shoulder while the teenager was still repositioning himself. The cuts the man received in turn were minimal as the semen failed to cut deep enough at that angle, and the great sword crashed brutally into the right shoulder of its target. The feeling of victory was short-lived, as the mist girl realized that his sword had only partially cut Aku, as if he was much more solid than expected. The real Aku, who had never been on the bridge since the beginning, activated the hidden explosive tag that his ice clone was wearing. Oj, despite his fantastic reflexes and warning, when he jumped back, swordsman Ambu still suffered severe cuts. When the explosion threw icy shrapnel at him, meanwhile, the eighth and final hunter had stayed behind, measuring the Aku clones abilities, as Nar hadn't made any moves yet. Nar had hesitated at first, noticing how the impact of the previous explosions had knocked the already disoriented Suzuk unconscious, leaving him curled up and looking like a pink cushion. Unfortunately, after seeing how cool that masked Zabuza kid was, the idiot created some shadow clones and joined the fight against the last ambu. How else could he prove that he is a future okage? Even if I can't beat him, I can keep him busy enough for Kakashi sensei to arrive. Just like when I freed him from Zabuza, the cold and hard bridge hit Narut's back when reality taught him otherwise. His vision was blurry as his head was buzzing and he couldn't see with his right eye. As he struggled to get up, his right arm was on fire and felt wet in several places. I had never seen it coming when he was brutally knocked down. With an effort, he concentrated on what was in front of him to see the clouds that dissipated when their clones killed them. Suddenly in front of him was the masked boy of Zabuza fighting the second hunter attacking him before jumping back to join the downed Nar. I had saved his life. Aku, the real one, was strangely agitated as he reassessed the situation. Nar's unpredictability and unexpected techniques had given him an advantage when he first clashed with Zabuza sama. However, he evidently hadn't realized that it had only lasted that long because Aku's master had been playing with the leaf jin. When they first met, the enemy Jonan had shattered the clone army effortlessly. And the only reason Sukunai had injured Nar was because he had had to dodge Aku's Seban at the last moment. And now the swordsman was getting closer. Nar, take your friends and Tazuna and get out of here. The man who had defeated Narut took the initiative and extended his arms forward with his long and wide sleeves. In a puff of smoke, he had a scroll in his left hand that unfolded itself. With another movement and a burst of smoke, in his right hand was a roll of wire that fit into the knob holes of a pair of crib and long. Despite himself, Nar's only thought before the scroll movement, ambu was great. Then their enemy swung the rope, sending all the knives flying at once to overwhelm them, while the Sambu Cleaver attacked their flank. Aku with his own unfocused arms threw more than a dozen sembi and then turned and ducked to kick Nar aside, getting them both out of the way of the sword. Using his own momentum, he kept moving and then stabbed Clever both in the anterior tibial artery, aiming just to cause extensive blood loss and knock out the man's left leg. The rest of the cune flew and did not go defensively around him, pushing back with his free hand. Aku jumped back while standing between Norto and his enemies. More needles in Bon appeared between her fingers, pulled from subtle holes in the clothes. Cleaver. Ambu could only curse, tearing off part of her sleeve to act as an emergency compress against bleeding. Meanwhile, Scroll and Gulo kept watch less out of loyalty to a teammate than to recognize that the more he helps, the better. With another crib strip, and already extracted from his unsealed scroll, a temporary standstill. Nar was amazed. That was the second time his mysterious enemy turned ally saved him. And he seemed to do it with such pure genius that he seemed even better than Kakashi. As it was, he could only keep watching these rapidly happening events, unable to even consider giving up the battle, wanting to stay to see more of this child. Super elite ninja. And then he remembered the promise he had made. How he had stuck his own cune in his hand, swearing that he would never run again, that he would never set out on his path again. How he had kept that promise even in front of someone like Zabuza. How could he live with himself if he ran away now? With the adrenaline easing his pains and trying to get rid of the blood running down his eye, Nar walked over and stood next to his new friend. Seriously, I couldn't wait to tell this to Iuka sensei or Aku when they meet again. I told you to get out of here. He snapped the masked figure that was actually aku. The only reason he hadn't attacked yet while one of the hunters was vulnerable was because he was trying to buy time so his friend could escape to a safe place as the blood mist ninjas well knew. I'm not running away. Nar snarled. I swore I would protect that old man and build this bridge and I'm not going to go back on my word also. And with his Nar made 10 new clones if they kill you I doubt we can get far enough away. You're right. You know, he said, "Scroll, Amu. There are no witnesses, nothing personal." With Zabuza behind his turban, the demon of the bloody mists smiled with the satisfaction of a predator. The hunters had come with a plan to take down the sharks depth charges. Fools! As one hunter threw the depth charges into the air, another of them kept sending out a wide gust of wind jutzu, dissipating swaths of fog with each explosion. Unfortunately for them, it was clear that these guys hadn't really practiced as a team. The wind jutzu was a smart idea to eliminate Zabuza's terrain advantage, especially since he was an amazing teacher. Comparable in this environment, however, if the burst was too big, it would disrupt the depth charges that were necessary to handle the shark's summons. A team that had practiced this correctly could struggle with the right balance, but these fools were too busy trying to coordinate each other when they were supposed to be fighting. They probably just put them together in the hope that it would make enough of a difference. Typical of the idiots at home, not to mention it was insulting given how much I've been underestimated. At that moment, he was stalking quickly through the thick fog, dodging their attempts to find him. While he was the master of silent murder, these guys weren't orgasans either, which meant I'd have to break a sweat to beat them. Perceiving a faint hissing in the air, he realized that one of the boats still in the air was nearby. With a quick leap, he placed himself next to them and threw the container full of letter bombs at their pursuers. Boom! Wow! What? Ah, well, it looks like I burned them a little. After assessing the location of his enemies, he decided to sacrifice some of his shuriken by unleashing an Andanal. After all, even half a second deflecting his projectiles could cost an enemy his life, and any wounds would only accumulate. Who knows? Maybe they'll even cut off his eye or his jugular. Sounds like they've been diverted. Wait, where's the third one of them? Instinct made Zabuza turn around at the last moment, lifting his sword from the executioner. With the flat part facing the attack from behind, deflecting the oncoming Cune bombs with letters attached, he growled to himself, jumping back and hoping his sword would absorb the worst of the incoming explosion. I can always fix it later with the iron from his blood. With Kauashi by the sound of those explosions, Zabuza is keeping busy, Kauashi thought as he killed his first hunter. The idiot had tried to attack the copier ninja head-on after one of his teammates had partially diluted the fog with a wind jutzu. Even worse, [ __ ] had done this while making hand signals right in front of Kakashi. There was a reason why Kakashi was praised for his special eye, distinguishing him from the Yucha clan even shortly after Obito's death. And that was that while it was true that the rest of the Yucha also had Sheringan and ones that they were totally compatible with their bodies, but Kauashi could use his better. During the third great war, ninja had caused such havoc that the Uchia had never retaliated or protested against a stranger using an ability that had always been theirs. Kauashi was too valuable. The sheringan allowed the user to perfectly copy and memorize the physical movements of his opponent and thus learn the enemy's hand signals and even get information about the inner workings of some jutzu. But learning a new ninjutsu involved much more than simply knowing the proper hand signals and what element of jutzu was required. Learning to successfully imitate and actually execute the technique afterwards required even for the yuchia a lot of work. Or to be a genius and kakashi was one of the latter. In addition, knowing hundreds of techniques was of little use if you were not sure which one was the best for the particular situation you were in. It was too complex for them, particularly in the heat of battle, leading most ninjas to prefer mastery over a more humble variety of jutzu. However, even before being promoted to Jonan, Kauashi had not only already learned and created many more techniques than many Jonan three times his age and used them all flawlessly except his signature technique at the beginning, but he had also carefully memorized every bit of information he could about the enemy ninjas. The blade intelligence networks had compiled profiles of each of the most powerful ninjas from the rival villages, listing their preferred tactics and the specific elemental jutzu they were capable of, their experience, past, their mission preferences, even their personal lives, and Kauashi had memorized each and every one of his vital statistics. For each of these hundreds of individuals, he had created theoretical strategys to neutralize each and every one of their abilities so that he could kill them, as well as an accurate view of how others were struggling. In short, no matter how strong these anu hunters were, Kakashi had already developed numerous plans to defeat them years ago. having already set aside dozens of jutzu that had the highest probability of success. And yes, the white-haired threat could effortlessly sort out each and every method on the fly without any difficulty. It was Captain Jonan Kauashi sharing an eye attack. Seeing the world in slow motion thanks to the gift of Oito, he recognized the approaching technique as a water release technique and one that was more accurate when fired from the mouth instead of using pre-existing sources. Kauasi instantly prepared a counterattack, ducked under the resulting torrent of water, flew through his own hand seals, and used lightning element inspiration wave. The flash of electricity went through the water and chilled the woman from the inside out. If she's not dead, she'll probably stay still until this is over. Aware that his previous failed attempt with his clone hadd his chakra, he approached the remaining two with a cunea in each hand and his blood red eye burning. with Zabuza. It has to be a sensor. It's the only way someone could have found me so quickly. Zabuza cursed, realizing that her enemies weren't the only ones guilty of underestimating their prey. He had been lucky. But when he hit his left food, he had still suffered some burns. Sure enough, another barrage of kunai came from that same anu, forcing Zabuza to change his position. Hearing triumphant shouts, he knew that the other two hunters were advancing. Although in his case, he could not only hear them, but also smell their singed uniforms. Advancing carelessly, confident that sensor, both of them had noticed a decisive blow to the traitor. The advancing Miss Ninja were startled to hear their comrade scream, "Weren't they? Stop it, you idiots!" Before they could register this, they heard the sound of something breaking through the water around them. And before they could scream, they were being dragged down. Suffocated by the water, they were only able to shake themselves while the surviving sharks brutally tore them apart. Is he okay? That's much better. Zabuz's voice drifted through the fog with a sadistic glee. Actually, they deserved to forget about it. And what about you? With Aku and Narut, these guys are pretty good, though not good enough, Aku mused. Their problem is that they are individually overspecialized and became greedy. If the two full squads had waited, then they could support each other enough to overwhelm even Zabu Zasama. Instead, they got ahead of the attempt to also get the Sheringan and split, ruining their main advantage. They were probably watching my clone fight Luchia, and they assumed it was real and thought I was weak enough that they could easily kill Narut and me. then join the others to fight attack and finally attacking Zabuza sama arrogance. They know nothing of my true power and now they dare not retreat and turn their backs on me. I will protect Zabuza Sam and her dream no matter the cost. All this passed through his mind in a split second, his face as impassive as the mask he had on it. The man with the ceiling scrolls was definitely the more dangerous of the two, especially after the man with the sword had his mobility paralyzed. Nar was now keeping the latter busy with an apparent barrage, seemingly endless of shadow clones. Now that cleaver ambu was injured enough, the bladein was able to serve as a satisfying distraction. Meanwhile, Aku faced his own opponent who was opening and throwing a seemingly endless amount of weapons. Unfortunately, Aku was running out of needles and bomb to attack and or intercept, which forced him to use ice element, crafting fancy tools to create more. Inspired by that observation, Aku quickly shouted the orders. Narut clones, don't use your fists, just drop your weapons. After all, each of them should be an exact copy of the original set. Obediently, the orange horde threw all their kunai and shuriken without restrictions to overwhelm their enemy. Why didn't I think of that earlier? No. Why didn't he think of that? It's an obvious move with the clones, but Nar never did it. Are you so inexperienced with your own technique? I just assumed he would, and I didn't tell him. Noticing that his comrade could not use a proper substitution with such a foot injury. Scroll, Ambu jumped to the front and opened a large metal shield to block the bombing. I got you, Aku thought calmly, activating ice element crystal ice mirrors now that the two of them were so close. Now, even if scroll AU escaped, he should be so distracted by the technique that Aku could easily dispatch Cleaver Ambu without leaving Nar vulnerable while he was distracted. A gust of water knocked him out of his triumphant thoughts as the darkened sword wielder burst out and unleashed a massive water bullet technique, water release against Nar, only for Aku to jump in the way. Stunned, he found himself on the ground and barely moved away from the cune that attacked him. But he could not stop the gasp of pain that escaped from his throat when they still found meat. Aside, Narut could only stare in horror at what had happened to his new teammate, unable to concentrate on the hunters, who were lining up more kunai to finish them both off. His mask, it's<unk> Aku. What is he doing? He's been trying to help me all this time. Let's get this over with. Clever growled. Ambu, then we can grab the Yucha child while the others finish with the rest. And that was the straw that broke the camel<unk>s back. Although he was still confused about Aku, Nar had considered him a friend since they met in the forest many days ago. And now Aku had literally jumped in front of Nar to save him. As I had done against Mizuki, as if he was a true friend, more friend than Suk ever acted, even though Nar knew that they were so similar in their dark loneliness. However, with those last words threatening and Aku struggling to get up while spitting blood, Narut finally got an idea of what a ninja's life was like. It was a dark and violent world full of pain and loss where children were killed because it was convenient. And people showed no mercy to the cherished people of Nar, and that was unacceptable. If this is what a ninja's life was like, then Nar promised that he would change it. In reality, it was a childish dream, an unrealistic promise to try to change the world. But sometimes big changes have to start with something small. And sometimes these idealists really have the power to change the world, especially if they are motivated, especially if they see their loved ones about to be eviscerated. For the first time in his life, Nar allowed himself to completely vent to release the anger that he had never dared to show the world since he was very young. lest everyone really rejected him. For the first time in his life, he was able to vent all the fury he was capable of feeling without fear of consequences and revel in it because those masked monsters were enemy ninjas threatening the mission. They were the bad guys. They were evil and had to die. It was that simple. And with that euphoria, power came. The world seemed to move slowly under an orange haze. He felt light as a feather and brimming with energy that just wanted to get out. Now he felt strong enough to tear solid steel. What came out of his mouth was between a roar and a scream as years of pentup emotions finally took voice. Aku and Narut's prey could only stare in disbelief as someone they had dismissed as a threat developed fangs and claws and was surrounded by a swirl of orange chakra that took the shape of the head of a snarling beast on little Jyn's head. Aku's brain was struggling to keep up. His training couldn't help him deal with this shock. Impossible. Your chakra is manifesting physically and it's a terrible chakra. A closer examination of Narut's body only increased his confusion. His arm and his forehead, the wounds are healing on their own. Who? What the hell is he? And in response, he heard a voice emitting a strangled whisper. Hinchuriki, that form he is taking. Let's see, Ambu. It's the Nine Tales. Faced with this new threat, Aku could only gawk at the two motionless Vladimus ninjas, clutching their kunai before turning to look at Nar, who was now facing them all with red eyes and narrowed pupils. Zabuza and the surviving child of the bloody mist trembled with fear, trying to understand what this new development was. Horror and despair gave Kakashi new strength. I have to end this now. I have to know what's going on with Naruto's seal or this whole island will be destroyed. Unbeknownst to these warriors, the respective armies of God and Inari continued to advance. Their inexperienced senses left them blind to the bloodbath they were approaching. With Zabuza, I have to change tactics, Zabuza thought as she continued playing cat and mouse with sensor ambu. Keeping my fog on means that he will limit himself to throwing toys at me because just because I feel doesn't mean that I can guarantee a good enough shot without his sight. Prolonging the fight is also draining my chakra. He can avoid my sharks and he avoids me every time I try to get close enough to cut him off. Wait, the sounds are changing. quickly severing his chakra, the fog dissipated enough for Zabuza to see that his enemy was creating water clones to fight him. Oh, so he thinks he's so smart. She's adorable. Actually, I trust the sound, so it's making more noise. All identical to confuse me. But this is nothing he hasn't handled before. But his damn sensory skills complicate things. Hey, it's not a big deal. Although I have to hurry up and find Aku and then we can figure out what this new disgusting chakra is. I'm not even a sensor and I can feel it. Zabuza made similar gestures with his hands and created an equal amount of clones and charged forward with them. While roaring at his shark invocation to follow suit, his summoning time was about to expire. another reason why it was necessary to finish this quickly. But the blood mist demon was counting on them to last long enough to turn the tide in his favor. If the amboo hunter was surprised by the sudden frenzy charge, he gave no sign of it and sent his clones to attack the original Zabuza. His own plan was simple. Unlike the traitor, he could easily tell the difference between the original and the clones as they had smaller chakra reserves. Hidden among his own clones, the masked man would introduce more letter bombs into the fry and retire. Zabuza was not an idiot. Attracting those enemy clones, he simply replaced one of his own clones and was now flanking the sensor. Original ambu, which was visibly lagging behind. Water release water shark bullet. Before his jutzu, the water solidified to form a shark, which lunged at its target. While Zabuza's clones launched Shuriken as a distraction, like a fish in a barrel, Zabuza smiled, his opponents were willing to weaken him with counterattacks to his signature fighting style while overlooking that he could also fight head-on with ease. The hunter switched places with one of his clones, who had moved far enough away and dodged the water jutzu, but it was in. Immediately pressed as Zabuza charged forward to cut off half of his remaining clones with a single blow of his huge sword. Zabuza's water clones took the initiative and attacked their remaining enemies to prevent further substitutions. Even when the sharks attacked from below, realizing how much he had underestimated his enemy sensor, Ambu played his last card and unfolded a scroll to deploy his own supply of depth charges. He activated them all and waited a few seconds for the fuse to run out more. He threw most of them in the air and then charged at the original with the last one he had in his hand. Seeing the threat and the smoking fuse of the explosive, Zabuza simply smiled and cut the chakra from his feet. He dived underwater and grabbed onto a nearby shark that dived. He knew that underwater he could dodge his enemy even if he pursued him. And with the falling explosives, the fool had simply turned the surface into a trap. Coming to the same conclusion, the increasingly desperate hunter abandoned his kamicazi attack, dropped his depth charge, and tried to run. He almost made it, but the explosion of the last of the falling explosives shook him slowly. Like the demon he was, Zabuza emerged from the waves, emitting all his murderous intent. So this is what the fourth Mizukage claims is a stronger breed of girl. He growled at Deadman Steel. They outplayed you from the beginning and should have never sent you against me. With a single flash of the body flashing technique, he decapitated the hunter with poop. Kauashi water release technique of hiding in the fog. Kauashi shouted surprising his targets by using his vill's signature technique to replace this fog that Zabuza was no longer emitting. I was saving these two fight Zabuza and I would like to mark them first, but Nar is the priority at the moment. I have to get this over with quickly. Knowing that his enemies were also changing positions, Kauashi approached the hunter girl he had electrocuted earlier. Mercilessly, he slit her throat to make sure she was dead and pulled a scroll out of her bulletproof vest with his other hand. Rubbing a little firm the blood gushing over the scroll, Kauashi quickly performed more hand seals and threw the scroll against the bridge, summoning earth element tracker fang technique. Screams tore the air and Kauashi dispelled the fog, revealing each of the two hunters with dogs and mobilizing them with fangs buried in their limbs. Without missing a beat, Kakashi grabbed four of the remaining kunai and threw them at his motionless targets, piercing their throats. A quick sniff from the dogs confirmed that the mist amu were dead and that there was no one else hiding nearby. Satisfied, Kakashi looked over to where he could feel the corrosive chakra emanating from Nar. With Nar and Aku, the lame-footed hunter grabbed his sword and got into position. He knew that he couldn't run and probably wouldn't be able to kill the demon spawn anyway, so he would serve as a distraction. While his companion took his most powerful ceiling scroll, he was not disappointed in either respect. With a roar, Narut charged with a speed that would make a Jonan proud. Crashing directly into Cleaver ambu, the man struck with perfect perfection. But still he was torn from his hands as if he had hit a cliff wall and the same was knocked over on his back. And then Nar sat hanging over the panting man and tore off his arm. The second hunter knew that he was a dead man. As he watched the teenager laughing at the howls of his prey, but he swore that he would die as befitted a child from the village hidden in the mists. He grabbed two more special scrolls, unfolded them, and activated specific seals, releasing a sealed version of water element, hiding in the fog, and jumped into his temporary shelter. While this version of the technique would only last for 55 seconds, it did not require any more chakra, which left the rest of his reserves for his trump card. The sound of more flesh tearing and a last gasp told him the fate of his companion, and slowly, very slowly, he heard the sounds of someone approaching him. Strange sounds too, as if they were walking hunched over on their hands and feet. Kakashi could have arrived first, but he made a detour to grab Sakura and Tazuna and pull them off the bridge. If the situation got even worse, the bridge would probably be the first victim, and they would fall and drown. Also, the return of a thick fog from Narut's location was a clue that Nar was still kneedeep in a fight. attacking carelessly was suicidal under normal circumstances and at this moment Nar might even attack him without recognizing him. Therefore, Zabuza arrived at the place before Key ninja trying to figure out what exactly was happening. Suddenly, an explosion of something was unleashed on him, forcing him to change his balance as the fog rushed towards him. That was it. Chakra, an explosion of energy so pure that it was a physical force in itself. With the fog completely dissipated, he took in the view before him. Aku unmasked and injured, probably not seriously, as his tool was sturdy and a good doctor in his own right. The boy was lying on the floor looking as if he had been shaken a little while being pricricked with needles. A dead amboo hunter missing an arm and most of his throat, upper chest, and jaw. A seriously frightened surviving hunter kneeling next to an open ceiling scroll holding his hands on the tiger seal and a hineriki. What? What? What? Well, seriously, what's wrong with this guy? What are the chances that this mission will turn out like this? Zabuza paused, raising his sword while frowning as he thought. No, wait. What are the odds really? A hinuriki is the ultimate trump card of a hidden village. If they're not keeping him safe at home, why is his training and skills so out of date? The boy has talent, but compared to Yagura, or the Hinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud, well, there is no comparison. He took another look at Aku, who strangely didn't seem to be afraid of the blonde. In fact, he seemed more worried about him to the point that he hadn't noticed Zabuza's arrival. Also, judging by the wounds from this tool, his wounds had come from the mist ninja, not the blade jyn. He carefully moved his heel against the ground to get Aku's attention. Unfortunately, it was not subtle enough as both children heard it as the hinchiki stopped his round and advanced on his hands and feet. Reading Zabuza's questioning look, Aku nodded his head to reassure him. Hey kid, Narut, right? Do you hear me? Zabuza shouted, keeping her hands at her sides. Did you make some kind of deal with Aku? Because I must say, I'm going to call off the whole trying to kill Tazuna thing. Cat must have betrayed me if these guys showed up. Actually, Zabuza wasn't completely sure about that, but he was too exhausted to risk fighting a henchiki, especially when the brief glances of the corpses he had seen on the bridge showed that Kauashi was still alive, though absent. In fact, I will even include the cat head as an apology and thanks for helping my follower. Does that sound good? You attacked all of me. It was the grumpy response, so charged with rage, that the boy found it difficult to speak clearly. That's a thing of the past, boy. It's not a pun intended. That's how the ninja world works. Except now the situation has changed. No, Narut snapped as Zabuza fought the urge to put his sword between the two. It shouldn't be like that. Ninjas should be different. But I don't want to fight you. First, this man has to die. After that, me. The steel crashed into Narut's head while Crow Ambu finally gathered the necessary amount of chakra for the sealing technique. Infinite restrictions. Countless amounts of spike chains came out of the scroll and crashed into Nar and everyone else present, entangling and tearing them. The force with which the bonds were expelled caused them to entangle the enemies of the hunter ninja. Nar struggled to get out, protected by his chakra veil, but unable to move as his own efforts to escape kept squeezing them tighter. Even the bursts of chakra from his body only seemed to make the situation worse. Zabuza roared with rage, both because of his pain and how he had idiotically focused only on the main threat, and like a rookie overlooked the others. Aku raised an ice shield to protect himself while Sissuk came out unscathed as the hunter was so surprised by his good luck that he decided it was possible that he could still complete his mission. More and more chains were created burying the Hinchuriki and traders. Well, well, this is unexpected. Trembling with exhaustion, the amboo hunter turned to see his contact, the cat businessman standing in front of him. With a veritable army of cheap thugs covering the background under the bridge, Aku emerged from an ice mirror he had created a minute ago. Panting as he struggled to avoid sinking below the surface of the water. Creating a mirror out of his line of sight was exhausting, even with the mass of an ocean literally under his feet. And he had spent even more chakra creating a shield strong enough to protect. Protecting him along with all the other fighting today. A moment later, Zabuza also fell, covered with wounds and holding his sword in a way that indicated to Aku that the infamous sword had been used to block most of the attack. The man was lucky to have preserved the space to fall across the bridge using an earthen jutzu sliding through the concrete. Zabuza sama, we have to go back. What? We have to help Nar. Zabuza looked Aku in the eyes and cocked his head. You're not asking me as my tool, but as your own person, right? Aku pald at that, but Zabuza just shrugged his shoulders. I can hear Cat's voice up there, so I have to go back anyway. If he's here, he really betrayed us. It seems that your little Hinchiki is still alive, so there are other advantages. With that, it took off. an enraged attack. Kakasi ran his hand through the chest of the last hunter and was the first thing Zabuza saw when he reappeared at the top of the bridge. The jutzu was so powerful that Zabuza could see the chakra in the ninja copia's hand. Then cat cried Zabuza indifferently. What is all this? Gateau shuddered for a moment and then looked at all the blood of Zabuza and Kakashi and regained his courage by mistakenly thinking that it was mainly theirs. Heihei, there's been a slight change of plans, Zabuza, or your plans. Anyway, this was what I had in mind from the very beginning. You're going to die, demon. Here and now, you must have guessed it. I never intended to pay you. The little tyrant opened his mouth to say more, except that the oversized sword cut off his head. Zabuza looked at Kauashi, who was furious and cocked his head questioningly. My contract against Tazuna is no longer relevant. And your son was struggling to help my apprentice. Therefore, I have no interest in fighting you anymore. Kill this scumbag, and then we'll see what we can do for the blonde boy. The ensuing fight was quick and brutal, with most of the lowerass mercenaries being killed by letter bombs. While the fleeing stragglers were wiped out with Kunai and Zabuz's executioner's sword, frankly, they were not enough to justify more time and effort. Kakashi angrily looked at the pile of chains, knowing that his chakra was severely depleted, especially considering that he had foolishly used a lightning sword in his rage against the blood mist ninja. If he could have appeared from behind in that way, a simple cune would have been enough. Suddenly, another wild roar emanated from him. followed by a muffled nose clash. Kakasi quickly ducked under the bridge, immediately jumped towards the ripple in the water. That meant something had fallen and pulled out an exhausted Narut. Thank God the fox's chaka had retired. Looking up, he could see the jagged hole through the bridge with the tangled ends of broken chains hanging down, and it also kept him safe from those spikes long enough for it to make its way down and out. To his surprise, when Kauashi returned to the top of the bridge, Zabuza had collapsed. In less than a minute, he had turned pale, sweaty, bloodshot eyes, and looked like he had collapsed to the ground when his trembling limbs gave way. A boy, a girl, dressed in the same outfit as the demon apprentice, although without his mask, he turned to Kauashi with a desperate expression. The chains were poisoned. The boy cried probably desperately. "Do you have anything?" After a pause, Kauashi shook his head with genuine regret. "Someone with Zabuza's ability deserved better." For any other village, the Anbu Hunter would have the antidote in case he or his allies were accidentally poisoned, but not the bloody mist. Moreover, as Examu, they would know exactly what inoculations Zabuza had been given and would prepare accordingly. Besides being on the run would have deprived him of the last agents to handle the versions newer of the poisons that all the villages were constantly developing. Not that Kauashasi was complaining too much as it looked like there was going to be one less threat. I'm sorry. I have nothing. And it doesn't look like Zabuza will last long enough for me to get something in time. Coughing, Zabuza raised her head. In that case, I guess I'll have to play one of my last cards. attack. If you seal me up and take me back to the blade to recover, I will give them information." Kauashasi sighed with an even greater disappointment. I'm sorry, but I have no chakra left to do. Then he pointed to a hole in the bag of his gun, and my soldier pills got lost because of some explosions. However, he noticed how exhausted and injured the young renegade ninja was. How returning to the bridge must have drained him of his remaining strength and how relatively well Nar was doing. I'll go see if any of the other hunters had anything useful. He left, leaving Nar alone with them, trusting that Nar would be healthy enough to defend himself if necessary. Zabuza was too weak to do anything, and Aku was too worried. The dying man stared at Narut and asked, "What about you, kid? You seem strong enough to keep doing it. What?" "I do not know how to seal people. You are and Yuzumaki." "Of course, you know that by now, Yuzumaki. What do you mean?" Nar stammered as he dealt with another surprise. On this very emotional day, gradually, Zabuza's attitude changed from accusatory to incredulous. Kid, are you honestly telling me that you've never heard of the Yuzumaki clan from Yuzio Gakure, famous allies of the leaf? Sealed in his blood, noticing the increasing confusion with each question, Zabuza slowly nodded his head. All right, kid. A word of advice. Start asking more questions. Look beyond what's underneath. Even as he said this, a flash of naked calculation danced so intensely in his eyes that even Nar could see it. Slowly, Nar nodded in turn, trying to process what his former enemy was trying to tell him. Tears began to fall from her eyes as the repressed emotions of the day seeped out. Besides, even he could tell that Zabuza was dying, a man he had come to respect, especially because he was valuable to Aku. And apparently he had come to help him against the last hunter who even now at the end seemed to be trying to help Nar. The truth is that Zabuza felt too insulted by such wasted potential and thought that it would make attack life miserable. More importantly, Nar seemed to be literally the only living being who genuinely cared about Aku, except that he would have to teach him in the only terms he thought the latter understood. But since I'm about to die, there's only one thing left for me. Aku. Yes, Zabuza sama. Aku said quietly, struggling. Against the fatigue and pain of the battle and getting back on the bridge. I have one last mission for you as my tool. Then the dying Zabuza turned his head towards Nar. Boy, I need you to do a man a favor. Kakashi continued to check the corpses, unaware of what was happening with Nar. Take care of Aku for me," Zabuza asked bluntly. And before Aku or Narut could react, he turned to the former. "Follow the child. Stay by his side and be his weapon. And you should know that my greatest pride was being there to take care of you and train you, my tool, my weapon, my son." And then, tired of all the drama he had endured that day, Zabuza lowered his head, closed his eyes, and let the grim reaper come for him. Tira Defugo Canoa toward Delo Cage. Later, the third cage stared at the scroll that the summoned dog of Kakashi Packin had brought him, feeling more than a little surprised as he tried to decide what to do with the information he had received. The problem of Tazuna falsifying his mission request was easily solved as Kauashi's assessment of Land of Waves reactions led him to conclude that Earth would prosper and apply for many future missions. In fact, the solidarity shown by the people's militia that arrived late, led by the grandson of the old man, was taken as proof that the nation was on the way to rebuilding itself stronger than ever. The bridge builder had also agreed, without even needing any encouragement, to state that he had paid in full in advance for the proper issue request so as not to encourage any future customers to do the same. After the events, Kauashi had carefully counseledled his students, working to help them deal with the events, or at least what he claimed was an appropriate therapy. With that man, it might be hard to tell. The attack of the hunters and the massacred corpses that had lain around the bridge had helped the boy to understand the true and harsh world of being a ninja, even a ninja from Kenoa. According to the report, Sakura was apparently shocked, but Kakashi wanted to wait a little longer to see that he also assimilated the message. Suzuk had seen worse when he was a kid, so he wasn't that affected. But Kakashi was worried about how much Lucia's pride had been hurt by the defeat. As for Nar, although he initially felt vindicated by the death of so many bad guys, the guy was finally defeated. It had taken Kauashi some work to help Nar, except it was mainly thanks to his new partner. On a related note, Nar was also surprisingly devastated by Zabuza's death. It was a bit surprising that Zabuza's body had been burned and the ashes buried. Instead of being brought in four medical experts to examine for some secret of the fog, however, Kauashi had decided to respect Nar's wishes in this regard so that the boy would not get angry again. It wasn't until later that Kauashi got a chance to sneak a peek at Narut's seal. Although he was nowhere near the level of his dead sensei, Kauashi still possessed enough skill to know when even a highle seal was breaking. And fortunately, he had been able to confirm that there were no signs that the seal was getting weaker. However, that didn't explain how something from the fox chakra had escaped. That small detail alone made the Oage decide to classify the whole mission as something more than top secret. Kauashasi would write a fake mission report and only the OCAG would know all the details. The team seven gens couldn't say otherwise as they had been unconscious or confused. ids influenced or partially possessed. It was still unclear when the Q had got away a bit. No, the real dilemma lay with the mysterious Aku, who had sworn to be Narut's servant. Kauashi and his dogs believed he was being honest, which was a strong character reference given the experience they had. However, letting a foreign shinobi spend time with the village hiniriki, one who was an extremely emotionally vulnerable teenager, Iris and Serutoi as supreme military dictator by appointment of the damo had the authority to admit this, but he should do it. Then a thought struck him like lightning. Kakashi's report also says that he knows about the kooi and that he doesn't care. This is a guy who accepts Nar as he is, someone who will be there for him. The oage remembered with bitterness the oath he had made to Nar on the day of his birth, except that nothing he did seemed to work. The cesspool of discord that had emerged was staggering, and Nar's fate had become the focus of much underground politics over the years. The professor was the ruler of the village hidden among the leaves. But Nar unknowingly was the center of a silent war that had plagued the village four years as too many people resisted his orders. The third cage still vividly remembered that terrible day as he quickly crossed the collapsing barrier as Casina passed by. Lying on the ground next to his wife with most of his organs ripped out by the fox's fang and his soul about to be consumed by the god of death. Minato had still coughed through his blood for the Iris to promise that his son would be treated as a hero and would not be seen as the monster's prison nor blamed for his crimes. Maybe he's ready to know the whole truth. Nar almost died on a rank mission at the age of 12. He fought one of the seven swordsmen and eight hunters of the bloody mist. All of them famous for their bloodlust without ever knowing the whole truth. Who is he? Who were his parents? That's all he deserves to know. Aku may be too dangerous to have around, but I'll see how Narut has developed, and then I'll make a decision on whether or not he's ready for the full truth of his heritage. Land of waves. The bridge is almost finished. Aku knew that he only had a minute at most away from Kauashi's watchful eye. So he quickly passed under the bridge and focused his gaze on the other side of the distant mainland coast on a distinctive outcrop of rocks visible even from the country of the waves forming a mirror next to him and at the designated meeting place. Aku quickly traveled through his mirrors to appear on the other side of the ocean and addressed the ninja kneeling in front of him. Zabuza Mamoki sama has died. His blunt words caused a stir among the followers of his former teacher. But he gave me a final order on his death. He has assigned me to a young man from Canoa with great potential. If the boy is willing, he will be a great help to us. Enough to be decisive in our war. Anyway, now I have sworn to be at your service. The representatives of the former members of Zabuza's small revolutionary army stared at Aku in disbelief. However, they knew that any protest would have repercussions as they had no illusions about their position in the pecking order. Compared to Aku, a wrong word about his new decision or his new master would be painful. Finally, one asked, "What if he's not willing to help us overthrow the fourth Mizukage? We've already gathered enough supplies and equipment to last you a while. Go to base 3 and wait for me there for 6 months. Train hard. I'll send you more information then. If you have not heard from me, I ask you to try to join Might Murray's rebel group as he is most likely dead. With that said, the ice user re-entered his mirror and disappeared through it. My apologies, Zabuza sama, but I will keep working to achieve your ambition. Helping Narut sama will be my priority, except that I will use my time in on the blade to see if I can help our homeland. I know you thought that I only helped you fight Mizukage for your own ambitions, but in truth, it was not in small measure my goal to to put an end to the purges and prevent more children from having to kill their own families in self-defense, kisses, or makeup. Zabuza Mamoki sama has died, Aku announced, and his blunt words caused a stir among the followers of his former teacher. But he gave me a final order on his death. He has assigned me to a young man from Canoa with great potential. If the boy is willing, he will be a great help to us others. Anyway, now I have sworn to be at your service. The representatives of the former members of Zabuza's small revolutionary army stared at Aku in disbelief. However, they knew that any protest would have repercussions as they had no illusions about their position in the pecking order in combat. comparison with Aku that had been instilled in them from the very beginning. Flashback scene. Not wanting to bother with the initial training of these new recruits, Zabuza stepped aside, enjoying her morning routine. As she diligently fixed her sword, running the fish carcasses against her, too. Then the leaf. I could absorb his blood. Aku was addressing the men and women kneeling on the deck of the ship in front of him. His face serene but serious. All right, worms, listen up. Aku is about to teach you the pecking order. You the earth. The worms inside the earth. Aku's stool. Zabuza and Aku. Any questions? A nameless ninja raised his hand. Uh yeah, me. The next thing the man knew, he was thrown from the moving boat to land in the water. Trembling with fear, the remaining recruits watched as Aku returned the call to the unfortunate man, enjoys the swim back to the ship, and suddenly flashed a disgusting smile. "Bitch!" in the blink of an eye, he was back to his serious expression. "Any other questions?" He received silence as a response and showed that same deranged smile again. "Fine, then we can start." End of the flashback. Yes, the assembled rebels had no desire to challenge the pecking order.
