“KIBA!” Sakura yelled as Kiba and Akamaru were speeding around a corner.
 
“YOU AND YOU DOG BETTER GET YOUR ASSES BACK HERE RIGHT NOOW!” she screamed louder.
 
“He he…” Kiba chuckled as he and Akamaru turned another corner. “Run faster, Akamaru.”
 
Akamaru barked as he and Kiba began to race faster.
 
“KKIBBAA!” the pink haired kunoichi yelled again
 
“This way, Akamaru!” Kiba jumped into a bush. “Hurry!”
 
Akamaru followed his master's order and leaped into the bush.
 
A red faced, dung covered and raging Sakura turned the corner cursing and shouting.
 
“This time…. I'll let you go… but…” She clenched her fist. “Kiba… if I ever find you… I swear I will… KILL YOU!” Sakura shouted
 
“GRR…!#$&” She walked away cursing and fuming.
 
“Yeah, we got her.” Kiba said jumping out of the bush. “Man, Akamaru, did you see her face when we dumped the bucket of manure on her.”
 
Akamaru barked jumping out of the bushes.
 
“Ha, ha your right, it was even better since Sasuke was sitting right next to her, and… better yet since Naruto was eating… hehe… I swear I had never seen a masked person puke like that!”
 
Kiba laughed as Akamaru jumped into Kiba's jacket. “Ah man, did you see the look on Sasuke's face.” “He looked like he was gonna puke from the stench.” “Oh, that was great…” Kiba sat down on a bench and closed his eyes.
 
))))) story start (((((
 
Team seven and their client arrived at a small dock cleverly hid in the mist, Tazuna pointed towards a small rowing boat well hidden behind a rock.
 
The threesome, their sensei and client boarded as the conductor started to row.
 
Sakura stared in awe, well who wouldn't when they barely can see after their hands “what a tick mist, is it always like this here?”
 
The conductor nodded, “we should see the bridge soon, after that we will reach the wave country.”
 
Something grabbed the 4-man cell team's attention, in front of them, slowly, out of the mist came out the form of a bridge, and soon they could see the unfinished bridge, it was made out of strong metal, stones and concrete mixed with copper. (I was studying a big bridge in my island was built…O.O)
 
On top of it everyone could see hundreds, if not thousands of man and women alike working on it, the men worked with the heavy stuff and machinery while the women mixed the concrete and made sure that every thing was in place and the metal melted just in the right spot. It was the perfect example of team work and determination. (Wow that sounds sappy)
 
`Wow… its huge!' was all the young genin could think of.
 
Sakura gave a rather laud sneeze.
 
Tazuna and the conductor flinched, “hey be quiet. Why do you think we are hiding in the mist and not using the engine?”
 
“Gomen…” the pink haired kunoichi said as she rubbed her nose.
 
Hey I remember this place…”
 
Naruto almost jumped but then he had remembered that Kyuubi was inside him, and he didn't just leave her at home. He sighed, `what do you mean?'
 
“well… hehe…” she laughed nervously, Im kinda of one of the reasons why the wave country is so broken down…” if Naruto could have seen Kyuubi at this moment he would have seen a pair of -seemingly- floating red and silted eyes looking from side to side.
 
`… I wonder if I could do that to-'
 
“Naruto look…!” a female scream broke him out of his thoughts he turned around to be greeted whit a very interesting sight.
 
If one were look at the water inside the tunnel it would seem that the fish and plants were just floating in tin air! The water was so clear; the mist was no longer here also.
 
“Wow…” was all he could manage.
 
A few minutes later they reached land, they got off the boat and it dashed of using the engine it had and for some reason, was not used.
 
“Ok! Get me home safely.” Tazuna said as he followed his hired bodyguards who had already started walking away.
 
The raven haired and the pink haired genin nodded while Naruto and Kakashi gave simple and closed mouth “hn…”
 
Kakashi sighed, `If we get attacked again it won't be chunin level but a Jounin.' He glanced at his team as another of his many questions popped up, `are they ready?'
 
On the way a small white bunny (im a girl=girl words, deal with it) ran around Sakura's legs and hid behind one.
 
She squealed, “Kawai!!” she bent down and picked it while slowly rocking it in her arms.
 
Kakashi stared at the rabbit for a moment before something sparked in his mind, “Everyone, get down!!”
 
No one needed an explanation as their bodies moved on their on and shoved themselves on the ground eating a few bugs and dirt in the process. The small rabbit jumped into Sakura's back pack and into safety.
 
“whoa!” exclaimed Sakura as she was pushed to the ground by Sasuke just as the flying object whizzed past her, thus leaving a big nasty scar on Sasuke's back. “Ugh!” the Uchiha grunted as he felt the burn of the wound on his back.
 
The `object' stuck itself on a tree revealing it self to be a big sword, within seconds a man was standing on it.
 
The silver haired jounin glared at the opposing nin, `this guy is…' “Everyone get back, this one is on a whole other level” he reached for his head band. “It's going to be a little tough… unless I do this!” he pulled up his head band to reveal a red eye with three dots swirling around it.
 
“The sharingan!?!?”
 
Sakura and Tazuna were confused while Sasuke and Naruto stared in awe.
 
The enemy jounin tilted his head, “you appear to be Sharingan Kakashi…”
 
“And you are Momochi Zabuza, the demon of the hidden mist.” Said Sharingan Kakashi said back. He looked at his genins, “surround and protect Tazuna, do not enter the fight…”
 
The genin surrounded Tazuna and took their best weapons out.
 
The man called Zabuza smirked under his bandages, “ah… Im honored, I already get to see the famous sharingan.”
 
Sakura couldn't take it anymore, “what's the sharingan!?”
 
Naruto stared at his team mate, “…”
 
Sasuke lowered his head until his eye were no longer visible, “sharingan… its is said that there were 10 great clans that were born from the gods, demons and earth them selves, each one of them had their own keke genkai, from having inhuman speed to being able to rip your own bones out, the sharingan along with the byakugran has the power in its eyes… it can read, defeat and copy any type of gen, tai and nin-jutsu…”
 
The mist nin's smirk got even bigger, “hehe… exactly. Couldn't have said it better my self.”
 
Kakashi stepped forward, “no more talk…”
 
Both Zabuza and Kakashi lunged at each other at a speed that was not seen by the human eye.
 
Sasuke was trying to figure out why Kakashi had sharingan, `what's going on!? The sharingan is a keke genkai that belongs to the Uchiha clan! My clan! He isn't… right…?'
 
CLANG!!!
 
The sound of metal vs. metal clashed through the area, Zabuza stood up on the water while Kakashi jumped away and covered Tazuna and his team with his arms and kunai.
 
Sakura, Sasuke and Tazuna stared in awe, “He is standing on top of the water!” the kunoichi exclaimed.
 
Kakashi's sharingan looked closely at the seals the mist nin was doing until he realized something, “Everyone cover you eyes!”
 
It was too late Zabuza had finished the seals, “Mizu: Kiri gen no jutsu!” (Mist illusion) in a second Zabuza dissolved into the water, Sasuke and Sakura franticly looked around while Naruto took out a double blade kunai.
 
“This one!” before the genins could react a wave of chakra hit them, Naruto was confused, “What ha-” a kunai whizzed past his mask leaving a scratch on it. He looked at the source.
 
Right there was Sakura and Sasuke whit poisoned kunais at hand, both had smirks plastered on their faces.
 
Sakura threw her kunais and Sasuke jumped at him, Naruto dodged every one of them but got knocked to the ground by Sasuke, “what are you guys doing!?”
 
Sasuke punched him in the face causing a small crack on his mask, “shut up you demon! What did you do with Naruto and Kakashi-sensei!?” another punch to the face.
 
“What are you talking abo-” Sakura lodged a kunai in his stomach and twisted it, “tell us were sensei and Naruto-san are!” she twisted it once more causing him (Naruto) to cough up some blood.

Meanwhile Zabuza and Kakashi were fighting, they were equal no one had an advantage or disadvantage.
 
“Oh, it seems my jutsu worked.” The missing nin said as he dodged a fuma shuriken. He did a few hand sings and the water sprung up and formed three water clones, each one surrounding the copy ninja.
 
The first one charged at him and swung its sword, Kakashi dodged it by jumping up, standing on it and then kicking the clone on the face thus turning it back into a puddle of water. Right that second the remaining clones slashed him in half but only to find that it wasn't Kakashi but in fact a Mizu bushin.
 
The real Zabuza stared in awe, “when did he-” before he finished he felt the cold sting of a kunai on his neck.
 
“It's over…”

Naruto's mask was now missing the left upper corner, his arms were bloody and he had a gaping hole in his stomach courtesy of Sakura. Sweat made its way down his body as he struggled for breath, `what's going on!? My chakra, it feels like its being sucked out!'
 
Sakura had some how managed to get her hands on a weapon scroll and summoned two war hammers both had what looked like sakura petals on fire. Meanwhile Sasuke somehow gained control over the wind and was using it at his advantage to make his fire jutsu triple the normal size.
 
Sakura nodded as Sasuke as she threw one of her war hammers in the air, he did some hand sings “Katon: seime phoenix!” (Life phoenix) he blowed fire on the hammer and it turned on fire as it neared Naruto.
 
“f-ck” said fox ninja jumped away just in time to dodge the deadly attack, `we're they getting all this power from!?' then it hit him!
 
Zabuza had finished the seals, “Mizu: Kiri gen no jutsu!” in a second Zabuza dissolved into the water, Sasuke and Sakura franticly looked around while Naruto took out a double blade kunai.
 
“This one!” before the genins could react a wave of chakra hit them.
 
He dodged a giant kunai, (like the ones in manga chapter 322) `of course! Why didn't I realize it sooner!' he sighed as he dodged a kick from Sasuke and a some shuriken.
 
“Sorry guys…” he took a small scroll out and threw it at his currently possessed team mates, thus, creating a giant smoke cloud.
 
Both of them covered their mouths with one hand and blew the smoke away with the other.
 
Suddenly they felt a hand around their necks, “Im sorry…” before they knew it all their chakra was sucked out and they fell limp on the ground.

“So… you managed to sneak up behind me… impressive!”
 
The copy nin gasped as he felt something cold around his neck, “but not impressive enough!” the Zabuza that Kakashi had managed to sneak up behind dissolved into water.
 
`A fake!?'
 
Zabuza swung his sword just as Kakashi kneeled down to dodge it but in result he got instead a kick to the face. He was sent flying into a tree. When he opened his eyes he saw some thing he never expected to see.
 
In front of him was a terrified Tazuna and the limp forms of Sasuke and Sakura on the floor also… there was red chakra pouring out of Naruto and into his and their wounds, an unreadable expression on his visible eye.
 
“Naruto…!”
 
Suddenly he was hanging from was broken down and he was kicked in the stomach and sent flying into the water.
 
Zabuza smirked, “pathetic….”
 
Kakashi struggled in the water, “what? This water is heavy…”
 
Before he could react Zabuza appeared right behind doing hand seals and before he knew it he was trapped in a water prison, `what!?'
 
Zabuza who was beside him had a dangerous glint in his eye, “you may have been trying to escape the water, but that was a big mistake.” He looked towards Tazuna, “now you are trapped in my special prison.”
 
`Damn! I can't move!' thought the silver hair jounin as he struggled against the thick water.
 
Zabuza made the necessary hand sings and a water clone appeared, “now Kakashi, we can finish things later. First I'll need to finish your remaining genin and the old man…”
 
As the clone walked towards Tazuna and Naruto Kakashi's vision blurred, `Im sorry sensei…' he thought of all the times he and his team mates were together…' darkness over took him. `Im sorry… Naruto…' the last thing he heard was a loud clang and Sakura's scream.

3 years ago…
 
“HURRY! Pulse… low…”
 
“Demon… left… death…”
 
“How… left... you… death…?”
 
“We… hospital… now…”
 
Half closed eyes struggled to stay open as he could barely make the words out, it had been three years since he last had been here but he needed much more to forget the hatred and pain. Sometimes… he thought that being tortured by them was much better than being tortured by Konoha

Present
 
“NARUTO!!!” tears ran down her cheeks, she had just regained consciousness to see this! Her team mate had Zabuza sword lodged deep within his chest, still he held it with one hand while the mist nin struggled to break free.
 
“How dare you!” his voice had changed, his face was taking more animalistic features and his nails and teeth grew longer until they were those of a fox.
 
“Hehe… you call your self a demon? I'll show you what a demon really is.” With one swing he sent the Zabuza clone on a collision course with the original one.
 
“What!?” was all Zabuza managed as his bushin hit him, thus making him deactivate his water prison and setting Kakashi free.
 
Said sharingan wielder sunk under the water until he regained consciousness and came up to the surface just in time to see what was about to take place.
 
It was fox demon vs. mist demon…
 
Sakura was brought back to her knees by the powerful killer intent, but what scared her even more was the transformation Naruto had suffered.
 
Said fox genin charged at the opposing nin at inhuman speed, he started going around him until the water rose up making a giant ring of water.
 
As Zabuza's eyes tried to keep up with his movements Naruto sent a red chakra hand at the mist nin, Zabuza dodged hand after hand until one caught him and smashed him against a tree.
 
Just as Naruto was about to strike three sebons pierced through Zabuza's neck, he fell to the ground. Dead.
 
At the tallest branch of a tree stood a lone hunter-nin, Kakashi hurried to were Zabuza laid and checked his pulse, `he really is dead…' he glanced at the hunter nin.
 
He was no longer there; he appeared right next to Kakashi.
 
“You're battle is now over, I must dispose of this body. Farewell” the mist hunter nin disappeared into a tornado of leaves.
 
Sakura, who was in front of Tazuna rushed over to Sasuke while dragging said client.
 
“Kakashi-sensei!”
 
Kakashi hurried over to his pupils, “what's going on!?”
 
“Take Sasuke-kun! I have to find Na-”
 
“There's no need for that…” before she could finish the same inhuman voice that she had heard earlier spoke. All of them turned around to see the masked genin standing at the base of a tree, his visible eye was red and slited, his mask was broken and his body bloodied.
 
“Now if you don't mind.” He walked next to Kakashi and Sakura, “I must return this body…” he lost consciousness.
 
Kakashi's eye widen as he pulled down his head band, `Kyuubi…?' he picked both of his male students and let Tazuna lead the way.

“I say! Only genin and you already are trying suicide!” a woman named Tsunami scolded.
 
“Gomen…” both Sasuke and Naruto apologized.
 
“What… happened…?” said raven haired shinobi asked.
 
Naruto sighed, his broken mask laid on the floor and he now wore one of Kakashi's face masks. “You guys… were under a gen jutsu…” he glanced at the rapidly healing wounds on his body.
 
Tazuna decided it was time to break the gloomy atmosphere with some good news, “well we won't be attacked for some time since we defeated Zabuza!”
 
“Not exactly true…” everyone stared at Kakashi as if waiting for an explanation.
 
“Hunter nins are supposed to dispose of bodies at the same exact moment it is found, so that means that…”
 
Sasuke sprung up, “Zabuza is alive!!”

Somewhere deep in the forest the hunter-nin sneezed, “some one must be talking about me…”
 
He picked up one of his tools and neared Zabuza's bandages just as he was about to cut them his hand was stopped.
 
His hand was roughly caught by Zabuza's, “I'll do it myself.”
 
The masked ninja pulled his hand away, “oh, so you're alive again…”
 
The missing nin sat up and pulled the sebons out of his neck.

“You guys will receive training” He sighed, “meet me in the forest at 8 a clock.”
 
“hn, training?” the Uchiha curiously asked.
 
“You'll see.”
 
Sakura was also curious but was more worried about her team mates current conditions especially Naruto's.
 
`He looks really injured…'
 
It's your fault!
 
`What do you mean!?'
 
You fell under a gen-jutsu, it some how turned you into a blood lusty zombie.
 
The pink haired genin felt like a rock with the words guilt written on them just crushed her.

Later that day…
 
Naruto walked down the hall when suddenly he heard something, `crying…?' he looked down and continued down the hall.

Three weeks later…
 
It had been some time from that accident on the way here and Naruto had now gotten used to not using his mask, at first Sakura and Sasuke were a little uncomfortable at seeing him but now they were used to it.
 
The door of Tazuna's house opened with Sasuke and Naruto dirtied from training limping in.
 
Ugh dobe why did you train until you couldn't walk?” Sasuke asked annoyed at having to support the blonde from falling.
 
“ bleh! Shut up bastard! Ow!” sasuke dropped naruto as he sat down at the dinner table where every one else was.
 
“Bastard!” Naruto shouted as he also limped towards the dinner table. Both sasuke and naruto were eating alot of food when they both puked making sakura grimace.
 
“Both of you stop eating so much.” Kakashi said as he took a sip of his tea.
 
“No, we have to have energy to train.” Naruto and sasuke said simultaneously.
 
The two glared at each other, sparks flying.
 
Kakashi sweat dropped, `Is it just me or are these two taking it too far?'
 
Then suddenly a kid shouted banging the table in the process. “Why do you guys fight? It's useless! No one can beat Gato! The weak is always getting beat up by the stronger ones!” inari the grand son of tazuna shouted.
 
“Shut up I'm not like you” naruto said indifferently at inari.
 
“I hate guys like you! You come in almighty and say that you're gonna save this country when you know nothing of this country! You don't know my pain! I'm not like you, who always smiles and has fun! You know nothing of pain!” inari heaved as he simmered in anger. Every one stared wide at the kid.
 
Naruto twitched when inari shouted at him that he knows nothing of pain. “heh you say I know nothing of pain?” naruto laughed a hollow laugh. Everyone winced at the blonde's cold tone.
 
Kakashi got up and touched Naruto's shoulder but his hand was slapped away by Naruto.
 
Naruto was furious, the images of the day he lost everything replayed in his mind.
 
His eyes wide open and tears of betrayal soaking the soft ground.
Electric blue eyes opened staring at inari.
 
“You just cry and cry acting like you're the only one who knows pain…” Naruto trembled in anger.
 
“You know nothing of me either! You all know nothing! Of the pain I went through all my life! Ostracized and kicked upon when fallen...”
 
Naruto turned around, his back turned to everyone. “You know nothing of me and say I don't know pain.” Naruto walked away leaving everyone in shock.
 
Kakashi slapped his forehead rubbing his face, he went over to the upset inari.
 
“Inari Kun Naruto doesn't mean to hurt you; he's actually fond of you.” Inari looked up at him.
 
Tazuna san told me about your dad and how he passed away trying to save your country by going against gatou, you see Naruto didn't even have a child hood, his father died also but he had it worse than you.” Inari stared at him.
“He had it worse then me?” Inari questioned.
 
Yep, but you see Naruto never gave up no matter what, and he gained people who loves him over time, he never cried or complained why his life was like this.”
