Naruto's eyes snapped open; he groaned and stretched his back.

"Oh! Naruto-san! You're awake!"

He glanced at Tsunami, and nodded, "Hai, where is my team?"

Tsunami smiled, "They left you to sleep in, apparently, you had overused your chakra."

Naruto froze. 'Shit! The plan!' He thought.

Naruto quickly got up and changed, "Miss Tsunami! I have to go!"

Tsunami nodded, "Go ahead Naruto-san."

Naruto dashed out of the house and ran through the trees with wide eyes, "The plan will get ruined! I have to hurry!" He told himself.

He looked down and for a split second he noticed a cut up boar. His eyes widened even more, "Fuck!"

He stepped on a branch and quickly turned the other direction back to the house, his mind was in a state of panic, if he was too late, Tsunami and Inari would die! But if he spent too much time there, Zabuza and Haku would die too!

He let out more chakra to increase his speed.

"Wait for me! Haku! Zabuza!"

Haku dodged some kunai, and looked curiously at the Konoha team, Naruto wasn't with them, and they were attacking him and Zabuza with no hesitation.

He looked at Zabuza, Zabuza just shrugged slightly.

"Where is that blonde kid? Too scared to come?" Zabuza asked, trying to get information about Naruto's whereabouts.

"He's not here at the moment, he used too much chakra last night, but that isn't any of your concern right now." Kakashi spat and attacked.

Zabuza looked at Haku, should he injure Kakashi? Would Naruto still want them to come to Konoha if he did?

He sighed aggravated and just made some hand signs, 'Not too much though...' He thought to himself.

Kakashi put his headband up and showed his Sharingan, "Today Zabuza, you will die!"

"Highly unlikely." Zabuza laughed.

"You will die, and also, the Hunter-nin really was your ally, he should stop hiding behind that mask." Kakashi said.

Sasuke growled, "Who does he think he's fooling?"

Sakura hardened her eyes, "Like a little fake puppet."

Zabuza made some water clones, Kakashi just glanced at Sasuke, "Go ahead Sasuke." Sasuke smirked and took out a kunai, then started to cut all of the Water clones as they splashed down and were no longer visible.

"Oh, the brat has gotten better eh? Although those water clones were only 20% of my normal chakra." Zabuza commented.

Haku looked around absentmindedly in search for the blonde ninja, 'Naruto-san... Where are you? We can't keep on blocking your team's attacks forever!' He thought.

Sakura threw some kunai and shruriken at Haku, "Pay attention to the battle! Or you'll die." She gave a smirk.

Haku lowered his head, 'What do I do...?'

He looked over to where Zabuza was, he was currently fighting Kakashi with his sword, trying not to leave any fatal wounds on him, he was thinking the exact same thing, 'Hurry up blondie!' He thought.

"You'll never win, we have three strong ninja." Kakashi said.

Zabuza clenched his teeth, "Enlighten me."

"We have Uchiha Sasuke, the successor of the Uchiha's, the Sharingan users, and he is the top rookie genin." Kakashi said proudly.

Zabuza thought to himself, 'Good, stall time Kakashi, we need to wait for the blondie to get here!'

"There is Haruno Sakura, her analytical skills are second to none, and her shots are very accurate." Kakashi continued.

Haku breathed in and out, 'Please Naruto-san... Come quickly!'

Kakashi's Sharingan eye spun, "Then at last... The number one, hyperactive, knucklehead, surprising ninja-"

"-Uzumaki Naruto has arrived!" Naruto's voice echoed.

Sasuke looked up, "Naruto!"

Naruto jumped down and stepped in front of his team, "Why did you leave me behind you idiots?!" He yelled furious.

Sakura stammered, "W-We thought you should rest..."

Naruto growled, "You lot nearly cost me everything!"

Kakashi's eyes widened, "Naruto... What are you-?"

"Well would you look at that, you’re not a demon of the mist are you? More like puppy of the mist!" A voice cackled.

Zabuza looked at the man, "Gatou."

Naruto's narrowed eyes looked to the side. "I'm not in a good mood at the moment, so you came right on time." Naruto smirked.

Gatou ignored him, "You're too expensive Zabuza, so I hired these guys for the same price as you." He showed the many men behind him.

Zabuza laughed and Naruto joined him, "You're too funny Gatou." Naruto grinned.

Team 7 had the same thought in their minds, 'What’s going on?!'

Naruto stepped towards Haku, "Are you alright?"

Haku chuckled and nodded, "It was hard trying to block all the attacks and not make any of our own though."

Naruto smiled, "Sorry about that, I had to protect Tazuna's family from some hired bastards."

Tazuna blinked, "Tsunami, Inari, are they alright?!"

Naruto looked at him, "Yes, they are."

Sasuke looked at Naruto, 'What’s he thinking? I don't get it! But I trust him, so I’ll leave it to you, Naru.' He thought.

Zabuza looked cruelly at Gatou, "Tough luck Gatou, we were better prepared, you’re going to die first. Blondie?"

Naruto cracked a grin, "The name's Naruto."

Zabuza shrugged, "Makes no difference to me."

Naruto rolled his eyes and took out a kunai and held his hand out, if they looked carefully they could see a white thread.

Naruto smiled, "Goodbye." And he cut the thread.

BOOOOOOM!!!!!

The area that Gatou's men were standing on blew up, thankfully they weren't even on the actual bridge yet, so the bridge was unharmed, but Gatou's men were blown up.

Naruto put his kunai back and stepped towards Sasuke.

Zabuza grinned and looked at Gatou who had taken a step forward so he was still alive, "I'll finish you off myself."

Naruto didn't listen to Gatou's screams and cries if pain, he just leaned against Sasuke while the Uchiha stroked his hair in comfort.

Naruto just killed about a hundred people in a split second, he was in shock, but he didn't regret it.

"He's dead." Zabuza said.

Naruto pulled away from Sasuke as he smiled, "That's good."

Haku bowed, "Thank you, Naruto-san."

Naruto put his hands up, "No no no, no need to thank me, seriously."

Sakura blinked, "Will someone tell me what's going on?"

Kakashi nodded, "Yeah..."

Tazuna scratched his cheek, "Isn't Zabuza our enemy?"

Naruto sighed, "No, I met Haku and talked to him, I asked them if they'll come onto our side and we'll kill Gatou, because we both knew that sooner or later he will try and kill Zabuza and Haku, and then they are allowed to come to live in Konoha and become ninja there."

Kakashi's eyes widened, "Come to Konoha!? Are you crazy Naruto?! He's a missing ninja!"

Naruto shrugged, "For a good reason, apparently the Mizukage was a bastard."

Sasuke sighed, "You're so reckless Naruto... But... It was a good idea, and I agree."

Sakura nodded, "Me too."

Kakashi clenched his teeth, “Fine.” He said.

Naruto nodded his head with a smile, “Good, because I wouldn’t have changed my mind.”

Kakashi, Tazuna, Sakura and Sasuke sweatdropped.

“Let’s go!” Naruto grinned and started walking back. When they didn’t follow him he sighed, “Come on idiots! We have no time to waste! I wanna get back to Konoha as soon as I can!”

Sasuke gave a smile, and sighed, then turned back to the team and their newest additions, “I don’t know about you but I’m leaving.”

Sakura shrugged, “Might as well.”

Zabuza and Haku exchanged glances, “Let’s go.”

Kakashi looked at Zabuza, “Fine then, Tazuna?”

Tazuna nodded, “Yes, let’s go home.”

They all started walking back, Naruto and Sasuke at the back, secretly, without anyone knowing, they held hands.

‘Naruto,’ Sasuke thought as he looked at Zabuza and Haku, wondering how the blonde ninja got them to end their ways, he smiled, ‘This is why I love you, and soon, I’ll tell you that.’
