Naruto was laying in his room, asleep. It had been a few years since they moved to their new Wave Country base; Gato had taken over the shipping countries in the area, and had slowly, but surely, took control of the country. Naruto had asked to hang out with his father today, but Gato had said he was busy planning something.
Jugo and Kimimaro were both on their own beds, Kimimaro reading and Jugo sitting silently against the wall. Four years had passed since they met Jugo, and all three of the boys had grown quite well. Jugo had managed to enact some control of his Berserker state when Kimimaro was nearby; it was completely absent when both Kimimaro and Naruto were there. Kimimaro had studied a large collection of scrolls that Gato had retrieved from the Kaguya Clan compound.
There had been a brief scare when Kimimaro had ended up in an intense coughing fit. Gato had spent thousands of dollars to cure Kimimaro's disease, which was apparently present in every Kaguya who obtained Shikotsumyaku, and was deadly if not treated quickly. Luckily, the cure had taken effect, and Kimimaro was healthy.
A buzzer went off, and Naruto's eyes cracked open. He stretched and got out of bed, throwing his black suit around his shoulders and motioning for Kimimaro and Jugo to follow him. Kimimaro immediately set his book down, and Jugo slowly stood and positioned himself to Naruto's left, Kimimaro to the right.
The three walked to Gato's office, and Jugo opened the door allowing Naruto to walk in. Gato was leaning back in his chair, and there was a large man standing near him. The man wasn't wearing a shirt, but had bandages covering his mouth. A massive cleaver was strapped to his back, and he leered down at Naruto. Kimimaro slightly straightened himself, and Naruto could sense the slight flux of chakra signaling Kimimaro creating a bone knife, hidden behind his back.
A boy -or was it a girl?- stood to the large man's side. S/He was wearing a green haori with white trimmings, and around his/her waist a brown sash with a fringed trail wrapped around his/her waist twice. S/He had a pale face with large dark brown eyes, and long black hair. S/He was looking curiously at Naruto, who felt Jugo shift slightly to better guard him.
Gato stood up, Zori and Waraji on either side of him. Gato strode over to Naruto, and patted him on the back. "Zabuza, this is my son, Naruto. Naruto, this is my newest hire, Zabuza. He's gonna kill the bridge-builder."
Naruto's eyes slightly widened. "What about us, pops?!" He questioned. "I thought we were gonna kill him! Kimimaro can handle it, no problem!"
Gato looked cautiously at Zabuza, and brought his face close to Naruto's ear. "Konoha is searching for you. Apparently they want the Kyuubi, so it's better if we don't have you go toe-to-toe against them. Tazuna hired some Konoha ninjas, see?" Naruto shrugged. It didn't matter anyway.
Zabuza grunted. "Whatever, Gato. We're gonna ambush them now. Get our money ready." Zabuza and the mysterious boy/girl left the room, and Jugo leaned against the wall. "Surely there is some other reason you called us?"
Gato grinned. "Naturally. My contacts have informed me that Tazuna is guarded by a Genin team...made up of the heiress to the Kurama clan, the Last Uchiha, and 'Copy-nin' Kakashi. If Zabuza kills the bridge builder, he'll still be heavily injured. That's where you three come in. I want you to kill him after. But only if he completes the mission. Got it?" Kimimaro and Jugo nodded, and Naruto smirked. Too easy.

The next day, Naruto was lounging around in the relaxation room of the base, watching tv along with a few thugs. They were broken out of their thoughts when Gato came stumbling in with Zori and Waraji behind him. Gato had his arm in a cast, muttering about a dumb *****.
Naruto stood up worried. "Dad, what happened?" Gato growled. "That ****in ***** who hangs around Zabuza broke my arm! I don't care if they do kill the bridge builder, they're so ****ing dead!" Naruto was looking pissed, but sat back down. Jugo looked at him carefully, but stayed silent. They stayed watching tv for another hour, before Naruto stood up. "You guys stay here. I got something to do."
Kimimaro spoke before Naruto left the room. "Don't do anything rash." Naruto chuckled, and waved over his shoulder, continuing his way down the hall. He closed his eyes as he began sensing the chakra of everyone in the base. There was his father and his bodyguards, with their low reserves. Kimimaro and Jugo were still in the room, with some of the highest chakra totals in the base. Jugo's chakra was strange to Naruto though, as if it was sucking everything in around it.
Zabuza was in another room, powerful water chakra...and there was the one who always followed him, with an icy chakra, nearing the exit of the base. Naruto began walking quickly to intercept them, and got there just as the boy/girl did. The ninja looked confused at the sight of him, before recognition crossed their face. "Ah...you're Gato's son."
Naruto leaned against the wall, intentionally blocking the exit. "Yeah, I am. Now tell me, is it true you broke my dear pops arm?" Naruto asked this casually, and Haku took a few seconds to respond.
"Yes, I did. He was attempting to grab Zabuza-sama, and I would not let that happen." Naruto glared at her.
Naruto smirked suddenly. "See, that's a problem. I don't like people messing with my dad. Gotta be some way to repay me, see?" Naruto suddenly lunged forward, smashing his lips against Haku's. Haku recoiled back, his eyes slightly rolling back as he unconsciously deepened the kiss, before he regained control and punched Naruto hard in the gut. Naruto fell to the ground, and Haku spat on him.
"You're disgusting. It's no surprise you're the son of scum like Gato." Haku said, as he left the base, Naruto clutched his stomach in pain, and used the walls to get back up, smirking.
"Tch. *****." He said, as he began making his way back to his friends. Wait till he tells them about this.
