A.N. Okay, Here is the Second part to Chapter 6, but for simplicity sake, it is Chapter 7, enjoy ^^
Well, it will only get better from here. No, Sasuke and Naruto won't become buddy buddy now, they are still them you know? But given the circumstances, they are forming a temporary truce and cooperating. They have new found respect and understanding for each other however, and unlike in the series, I plan on making Sakura not as useless and behind them as she is in the series, since early on she was at least partly snapped out of her obsession with Sasuke and is aiming to be a true Konoichi. Also, you may think the story is being to easy to read, and I am not saying what I am referring, but think back to Chapter 3: Survival Training, look underneath the underneath mwahaha. See you all next time, oh, and, I no longer will use those check points, I am having fun with what I plan to do, and what big plans I have, of course feel free to advertize to friends and acquaintances, but do not feel obliged too, have fun reading. ^^
A.N. Finally! That was Chapter 6/7 everyone, notice the changes yet? I decided to make them learn water walking sooner because their personalities would call for it. I am surprised h=how they weren't asking about how Kakashi was walking on water when they saw him and Zabuza fight the first time. And logic would make them want to learn water walking because of Zabuza being such a powerful water user and given the environment. Plus they knew they had to get stronger and they needed to do something new to get stronger since they have finished tree climbing so early, (do to Sasuke's curiosity and pride and Naruto's even stronger strive forcing them to be stronger rivals than before and trying harder to prepare for their battle to come.)Chapter 7: Build and Prepare! Pt. 2
Back with Naruto and Sasuke in the forest...
SasuNaru, running level with each other up their respected trees: "HYAAAAA!"
Naruto, catching his breath: "I... TOTALLY, won, Teme, few..." Sasuke, also out of breath: "HN! HA! Yeah... Right, loser!" Naruto from the tree top: … "Race you back to the house for dinner?" Sasuke from his tree top: "Your on loser, last one there's a mist ninja!" Moments later, they both were cramming their way into the door way, stuck until they slipped on each other and hit the ground face first. Sakura at the dinner table: "Guys! Whats wrong!?" Naruto:... "I hit the ground first, I win!" Sasuke: "Yeah right! Anyone with eyes could see I won! Kakashi-sensei has a Sharingan so he should say who won!" Naruto: "Screw that gay infected eye! Sakura has the keenest senses and know how here! Sakura! Who won!?" Sakura looking at them both, eager for her answer: …... "Uhh..." 'Your... kidding, they were racing here? After training all day!?' Kakashi: …. 'well... they seem to be getting along well now...' SasuNaru: "Sakura! Who won!?" Sakura: "Huh!? Oh, umm, well, it I don't know, it looked like-" Tsunami: "Oh, you boys are home just in time! Sit down, dinner just finished!" NaruSasu, staring at each other: …... "I bet I can eat more than you can!" This made everyone face fault except Tsunami who was happy for their enthusiasm and Inari who was surprised that they could be dumber than they already were.
Tazuna, staring at he two competitive eaters along with everyone else in shock: "Wow! This is super fun! It's been a long time since we ate with so many people." NaruSasu, raising their bowls: "More! Urgh!" * Barf * Sakura: "If you're going to throw up then stop eating! Your wasting food!" Sasuke, wiping his mouth: "No... I, must eat..." Naruto: "Yeah, we have to no matter what. Because we have to become stronger.!" Kakashi: 'True, but there is no need to throw up =_\'
Sakura, walking over to a hung family photo, torn photo: "Hey, why do you have a torn picture on the wall? Inari-kun was staring at this during dinner. It seems like someone purposely removed the person that was in the picture..." This caused Inari, Tsunami, and Tazuna to fall into a sudden dark silence. Kakashi: ….. Tsunami: "It's my husband..." Tazuna: "and,... The man called the hero of the city..." Inari stood and stormed out of the dinning room. Tsunami: "Inari, where are you going?! Inari! Father! I have told you not to talk about that man in front of Inari!" Sakura:... "What's wrong with Inari-kun?" Kakashi: "There seems to be some kind of explanation."
Tazuna:... "Inari had a father not related by blood. They were very close, like a real father and son... Inari would laugh a lot back then... But, but Inari changed since the incident with his father... The word "courage" has been stolen from the people of this island... And from Inari... Ever since that day... Because of that incident..." Team #7:! Kakashi: "That incident? What happened to Inari-kun?" Tazuna:... "Before I get to that, I first have to tell you about the man who was called the hero of this city." Naruto: …. "Hm... Hero huh?"
Tazuna: "It was about 3 years ago, Inari met that man. Inari ran into some bullies on the docks who nabbed his puppy Pochi. They held Inari back while the lead punk was threatening to steal Pochi as his own, however, when Inari's desperate yelling, struggling, and upright refusal of such a thing became more than what it was worth, the punk threw Pochi into the water, if he couldn't have him, neither could Inari. Pochi couldn't swim and was struggling to stay above the water. They let Inari go and were telling him to dive in after HIS dog if he wanted him so much, however, Inari couldn't swim either. This did not stop the the brat leader to kick him in and walk away with his crew, leaving Inari and Pochi to drown. Right then, Pochi remembered that he could doggy paddle back to land, leaving Inari behind.
Next thing Inari knew, he woke up to the smell of cooking fish and a towel over him. A man had scolded the other children and had saved Inari. This foreigner consoled Inari who was crying because his dog left him, he wanted to save Pochi, but he was to scared. The man told Inari that If your a man, you need to choose a life of no regrets. 'For something precious to you... No matter how tough, no matter how sad, you must try and try and even if you lose your life, protect it with both arms. If you do that, even if you die, the proof of a man's life will remain forever' he told him.
His name was Kaiza, a fisherman who came her to follow his dreams. After that, Kaiza and Inari became very close. It may have been because Inari's real father died before he got to know him. But he and Kaiza were inseparable. Like a real father and son. It was only a matter time before Kaiza became part of the family. And Kaiza was also a man the city needed.
One stormy day, the dams were overflowing and the only way to save the city would have been to close the gates, but, the rapids were to strong for any coward to cross and tie a rope to said gates. Kaiza arrived and out his life on the line to save everyone, he grabbed the rope and tied it around his waste. Everybody thought he was super crazy, but he dived in and swam through the rapids and tied the rope so everyone else could pull the other end of the rope and shut the gates. From then on, he was called the hero of this city by all it's inhabitants. Inari could not be prouder of his father. But then... Gatou came to the city..."
Kakashi: "And then this incident happened? Tazuna-san, what exactly happened?" Tazuna, shaking in his seat: "In front of everyone, Kaiza was... Kaiza was put to death by Gatou!" He admitted, shocking all of Team 7, though Kakashi felt as though he knew what was coming.
Furasshu Bakku no Jutsu!: Kaiza's Execution
A beaten, bloody, armless Kaiza, with his short spiky hair, scared chin, and average fisherman attire, is tied to a cross tightly by rope. Around him stood Gatou and his goons Waraji and Zouri. The area around them was fenced off by tall barbed wire fences, behind those fences were the city populace, in the front, gripping onto the fence, Inari.
Gatou, addressing the audience and pointing at the hanging Kaiza: "Listen up! This man has been conducting terrorist activities against Gatou Corporation! He has been disrupting this country's peace and as punishment will be put to death! I just hope nothing like this never happens again!" Inari, trying to hold back his tears: "DAD!" Kaiza, giving a comforting smile to Inari: "Inari..." Gatou walking away: "Kill him." Inari, as he watched his fathers gut get sliced open: "Dad! You said you would protect me... the city... with both of your arms...! You're a liar dad!"
Furasshu Bakku no Jutsu!: Kai!
Tazuna: "From that day, Inari changed... As did Tsunami... And the whole city..." Naruto, standing up and walking off: "Maybe he's right, Hero's are as rare as common decency, courage, hard workers, selfless people. But, so what? I've never needed a hero and I turned out just fine... Morons wait for heroes, people worth saving learn to protect themselves and those precious to them, those who put their lives on the line to protect others are morons, hero's are morons..." He finished as he exited the back door. Sakura worriedly: "Naruto-kun..." Kakashi: "That idiot can't go training in the condition he's in, he'll die from chakra exhaustion at this rate..." Sasuke smirking to himself, understanding: "Hn... Yep, he really is the biggest moron of Konoha..." he then stood up and headed for the door as well. Sakura: "Sasuke! Where are you going!?" Sasuke: "It's lonely being a moron, and I can't just let a moron like him get ahead of me now can I?" He proceeded then to catch up with Naruto and they both trained till they passed out.
The next morning, Haku was out picking herbs for Zabuza. He wore his long hair loosely, and was wearing a pink, sleeveless kimono, with pale red edges and decorated with small plum-colored swirls, that went to his ankles. Around his waist was a simple white obi tied in a bow, and he wore a pair of light brown sandals with dark straps. He also wore a dark-colored choker around his neck.
Along the way, he found a familiar blonde and emo duo passed out on the forest ground. He walked over and gently nudged them awake. Haku: "You'll catch a cold sleeping in a place like this. NaruSasu waking up: "Huh/Hn...?" Sasuke: "Who are you?"
From there, they spoke amongst each other while Sasuke and Naruto offered to help Haku pick plants. Sasuke: "Hey, is this the plant you were looking for?" Haku: "Oh yes, thank you ^_^" Naruto: "These plants are medicine?" Haku: "Yes, certain herbs have medical properties to them, just as many plants that can be helpful though, there are dangerous ones that can kill if your not careful, the ones you have to be really careful with are the ones that can do both hahah." Naruto: "Deadly plants huh? That would be a crap way to go!" Haku: "Haha, yes, indeed it would, thank you both again for helping out." Naruto: "It's no problem really miss, we had nothing better to do other then be crapped on by birds!"
Sasuke: "You sure are working early aren't you...?" 'Why does this person seem so familiar...' Haku: "You are too aren't you? What are you doing here at this time of morning?" Naruto: "Training!" Sasuke: …... Haku, with not obvious mock shock: "Oh, you... That head protector... Could you be a ninja?" Sasuke: "You noticed huh?Yes, we're ninja..." Haku: "Wow, you're incredible." Naruto: "Hehehehehe =^_^=" Haku: "Why are you training?" Sasuke: "We need to get stronger..." Haku: "Hmm... But you both already look plenty strong." Naruto: "No! We want to be even stronger!" Haku:... "Why is that...?" Sasuke: "I have someone I have to find, and I need to be much stronger if I am to seek him out..." Naruto: "So I can become the strongest ninja the world has ever seen! I'm going to make everyone acknowledge my strength! And right now, I also need prove something to some people..."
Haku: "Well, is that for others? Or yourselves...?" Naruto:... "Huh?" Sasuke: "What do you mean?" Haku, giggling: "Do you have someone precious to you?" NaruSasu: ?! Haku, looking back on a memory of himself dying in the snow as a child, being saved and given a purpose to live by Zabuza before snapping back to reality: "When a person has something important to protect... That's when they can truly become strong." NaruSasu: 'Kakashi: "Those who don't protect their comrades are worse than scum" "I won't let my comrades die^_\."' Naruto: "Yeah..." Sasuke: "We understand that, very well." Haku, smiling and walking away: "You will both become very strong then. Let's meet again somewhere." To which both Naruto and Sasuke nod. "Oh, and... I'm a boy ^_^" And with that, Haku was gone. Sasuke: ! Naruto: 'Wha-WHAT!? No way! But he was cuter than Sakura-chan! Which doesn't mean a lot but still!' Sasuke: "Naruto, we are going back, now!" Naruto tailing Sasuke: "Sasuke?! What's wrong Teme! Slow down!"
Sasuke and Naruto charged in the door just as Sakura and Kakashi were about to go out and find them. Sasuke: "Kakashi, you need to train us, more, we have tree climbing down and we need to kick it up a notch!" Sakura: "What!? You were out all night long training! We were worried you two could have died from Chakra exhaustion!" Kakashi: "Only Sakura was, but that is not what's important right now... Sasuke, what's wrong...?" Naruto: "That's what I want too know! We helped a really cute boy pick herbs and then Sasuke dragged me back here faster than I thought he had in him!" Sakura: "Really cute boy-?" Kakashi: "Not now Sakura-chan, I know it might be hard but you have to control your prepubescent hormonal urges! Naruto and Sasuke are more than enough for you!" Sakura: "Naruto and Sasuke-!?" Kakashi: "Sakura! Now is not the time to be fan-girling over your teammates! Sasuke is trying to say something!" SakuSaku: "WHAT THE HELL!?" 'WHAT THE ****!?'
Sasuke, finally catching his breath: "We just helped that Masked-nin collect herbs to heal Zabuza and we need to be at the top of our game if we want any chance of surviving!" SakuNaru while Kakashi was just silent and thought over the situation: "WHAT!?" Sakura: "What do you mean what!? You were there!" Naruto: "I didn't know he was him! I didn't even know he WAS a him!" Sasuke: "Kakashi, what is the next level of training?" Kakashi, thinking it over very carefully, unsure if they were ready: "Hmmm, well, after tree climbing... Is water walking..." Naruto: "Why didn't we just learn that first huh!? You weren't tree climbing when you were fighting Zabuza! The whole thing was on the damn water!" Kakashi: "Because Naruto, water walking is is at least 3 times more challenging do to the low-Chunnin level chakra control needed." Team 7: !? Sakura: "N-no way..." Naruto: …... Sasuke: … "Let's do it." Kakashi watched as Naruto nodded in agreement as Sakura hesitantly agreed after a few moments as well. Kakashi: …. 'I really do have an interesting team ^_\...' "Alright, but breakfast first, your going to need the energy..."
Jikan wa Sukippu no Jutsu!: Day 7 morning
Kakashi is doing pushups with his individual fingers, currently working on his right index, as Tazuna sits on his back and Sakura counts. Sakura counting: "196, 197, 198..." Tazuna: "Sensei, I wanted to ask you earlier but, why are you still here when I lied to you about the mission..?" Kakashi: "To abandon your duty is not courageous. Below courageous there is nothing. Those were the words of the previous Hokage..." Sakura: "...200..." Kakashi finishing and examining his condition: "That is the way of the Shinobi. Shinobis don't move because of money alone." 'My body is completely back to normal...' Meanwhile, Zabuza and Haku were confirming their full recovery as well, and were preparing to move.
Later that night
Naruto and Sasuke are limping in the doorway for dinner after finally getting the hang of water walking and training the entire day. Tazuna: "Oh... You guys are finally back... You both look super wet and super worn out." Naruto: "Heheh, we both, decided to take a few laps through the City's waterways, sometime after we walked across the river this morning hehe." Sasuke smirking: "Hn..." Kakashi: "All right! Naruto, Sasuke, starting tomorrow, you two will also protect Tazuna by Sakura's side." NaruSasu: "Hai Sensei!"
Tazuna, as everyone is finishing dinner and Naruto slumps onto the table, exhausted: "Hehe, I'm also worn out from today's bridge work. But at any rate, the bridge is almost complete. Of course with all the people who quit on me, this would not have been possible without Naruto's clones helping me all week!"
All the while however, Inari had been staring at Naruto with memories of his father flooding his head. No one had noticed however, till Inari had started breaking into tears. Naruto: "Huh? What's wrong now kid?" Inari: "WHY DO YOU GUYS BOTHER TO TRY SO HARD!? No matter how hard you train, you're still no match for Gatou's men! No matter what glorious claims you make or how hard you work, WHEN FACING THE STRONG, THE WEAK WILL ONLY END UP GETTING KILLED!" He finished as he slammed his fists into the table, shocking all but Naruto at his sudden outburst. Naruto: "Whatever brat... I'm not like you..." Inari: "I'D HATE TO BE LIKE YOU! You don't know anything about this country, yet you're being so nosy! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?! I'm different from you, you're always clowning around and acting so cheerful, you don't know how hard life can be!" Naruto, tolerance finally snapping: "So... It's ok for you to pose as the star of a tragedy and cry all day huh?" This shut Inari up long enough to let Naruto continue. "Just keep crying forever then you little retarded ****ing *****! You are the one who doesn't ****ing know anything! Your still a spoiled brat! Oh boohoo for you to lose your precious fake father! Just because you and he were to weak to save anyone doesn't mean everyone is! At least he tried you ungrateful brat! You couldn't even save your little ****ing pooch because of some water! You are probably the weakest waste of space in this entire City, but the only thing keeping you from being stronger than every single one is your fear! Because everyone here are worthless cowards but even a brave weakling is worth more than any strength a bunch cowards who don't use it have! At least you had a father figure to grow with and learn all of this from! Just because you are an ungrateful brat doesn't mean it is anyone else's fault but your own!" Naruto finished, shocking everyone as he slammed his fists into the table in the same matter Inari did, but destroying a huge chunk of the table in the process before storming out, deaf to any calming words Sakura or anyone else had. Inari had then ran crying in the opposite direction, sitting on their docks edge in the fetal position.
Kakashi followed Inari out after helping clean the mess. Kakashi, sitting next to Inari: "Can I join you?" He took it as a yes when Inari did not say no. "Naruto didn't mean any harm by what he said... Sometimes, he just doesn't use his head. Tazuna-san told us about your dad. Like you, Naruto grew up without a father..." He said getting Inari's attention. "Actually, he never even knew his parents. And, he's never even had a single friend. The truth is, he has had a far rougher life than you. However, Never once have I ever seen him cry or complain about it. He's always... Trying his best to get people to acknowledge him, never taking beef from anyone. For his dream, he would risk his life at any moment. He's probably sick and tired of all the crying he has ever done, he knows what it really means to be strong... Just like your father. Naruto may understand your feelings better than anyone else, though, Sasuke would be a close second..." Inari: "What?" Kakashi: "Nothing, but look, Naruto doesn't seem to be able to NOT be concerned about you ^_\." Inari: …..
The Next Morning
Sakura, walking with Tazuna and her team, except one: "Goodbye! Please take care of Naruto!" Sasuke: "He pushed his body past it's limit, I don't think he'll be able to move today." Tsunami: "Alright, I promise!" Kakashi: "I'm sure he will be fine." Tazuna: "We should be too! We are super lucky his still haven't dispersed! Ok! Let's get super gone already!" Kakashi: 'I am more than impressed that he is still able to hold so many Kage Bunshin for so long, his control has really improved, it really complements his outrageously large chakra reserves for sure...'
Naruto later shot up with a throbbing pain as though he had been cut into pieces, which soon faded, as he realized that he had overslept! Naruto, getting ready to catch up: "I OVER SLEPT!? Hey hey! Where is everyone!?" Tsunami: "Your Sensei said that you should rest..." Naruto: "I can't rest now! Something is wrong! I don't know what but there is!" With that, Naruto dashed through the trees to catch up, that is until, rustling in the brush caught his attention, it wouldn't normally, but whatever it was, it was going towards Tsunami and Inari, who Naruto had just left behind in his rush. Naruto wasn't about to let anything happen to them though... but Tazuna and his team were in danger... if only he could be in two places at once! Oh, wait... that's right...
Said party had just arrived at the bridge, which now, was empty minus the corpses of a few workers that had stayed and one Naruto clone that was acting as well a medic he could to the only, barely, living worker. Tazuna: "WHA-WHAT HAPPENED!?" Worker: "A, monster..." Tazuna: "WHAT?!" Naruto C: "Shh, don't talk, save your energy. Kakashi-sensei, it was..." He was cut off by a sudden, thickening mist. Kakashi: "Zabuza... Everyone, protect Tazuna!" And so they did on cue, last so was the Naruto Clone that had just shut the still eyes of the worker. 'So, he is alive... And he is here already...!'
Sakura: "Kakashi-sensei! This is Hidden Mist no Jutsu, isn't it...?" She said as Sasuke and the Naruto Clone were rattling where they stood. Zabuza: "Long time no see, Kakashi... I see you're still with those brats... The two boys shaking again... poor kids..." They were suddenly surrounded by a horde of Zabuzas! Naruto C: "We aren't shaking from fear you eyebrow-less retard..." Zabuzas: 'Hmm...?' Sasuke: "We are shaking from excitement!" Zabuzas: !? Kakashi: "Do it boys. ^_\"
Sasuke and the Naruto Clone suddenly slashed through each Zabuza before they could blink, revealing them all to be water clones, and landed back to their positions, Naruto with his new gauntlets, Sasuke with the chain that now had Kunai on both ends. SasuNaru: 'You can't fool us!'
Zabuza: "Hmmm, They saw through the water clones, the brats have grown up... Between the two of them, it seems you may finally have a rival... Eh Haku?" Haku: "It does indeed..."
Well, it will only get better from here. No, Sasuke and Naruto won't become buddy buddy now, they are still them you know? But given the circumstances, they are forming a temporary truce and cooperating. They have new found respect and understanding for each other however, and unlike in the series, I plan on making Sakura not as useless and behind them as she is in the series, since early on she was at least partly snapped out of her obsession with Sasuke and is aiming to be a true Konoichi. Also, you may think the story is being to easy to read, and I am not saying what I am referring, but think back to Chapter 3: Survival Training, look underneath the underneath mwahaha. See you all next time, oh, and, I no longer will use those check points, I am having fun with what I plan to do, and what big plans I have, of course feel free to advertize to friends and acquaintances, but do not feel obliged too, have fun reading. ^^
