19 Taking out the Trash *The Wave Finale*

I never was the best at talking, or even thinking, but what I was good at was having thick skin, and being shameless. "Sensei, usually I would accept your explanation on why its a bad idea to bring two wanted missing ninja from a different village that have killed other ninjas from our village and also nearly killed you, but I practice a religion that forbids me from doing something that goes against my own interests." Kakashi was truly at a loss for words, he had been trying to convince Naruto for the last 30 minutes to give this up, but he had never imagined that he would take after his father that much, being a shameless bastard that is. 'Ah, it seems like just yesterday when Minato-sensei baffled us with bullshit and his amazingness day in and day out.' Bringing himself out of his reminiscing, Kakashi stood up and just walked out while throwing words behind him. "I'll try to convince Hokage-sama when we return to the village, for now, let's all go back to training."

The group that had grown by two soon reached the forest, while Sakura helped Sasuke with his tree climbing, Naruto took council with Kakashi, Zabuza, and Haku. "I need help refining my own personal combat potential. I've got the body and even chakra for stronger abilities and techniques, but I only have 1 jutsu, 1 technique, and a bit of self-taught Taijutsu that is below even academy level. I don't even know what kind of weapon I want to use." Zabuza was one of the first to comment. "You have a similar height and body build to me, I would recommend long and or heavy weapons, maybe a long sword or a staff or spear." Kakashi spoke up next "I have a few jutsu's that might work for you, but I would need to test your chakra affinity." Kakashi said holding out a brown piece of paper he pulled from thin air. Haku spoke up a bit after Kakashi "I could also share some knowledge on medical knowledge and pressure points." She said a bit dispirited, she was still depressed that Naruto had used her, knowing who she was and still acting like that too me... so shameless!

Naruto thanked them all as he asked Kakashi to test his affinity, he assumed it would be wind since it was the same in the show, but things had a bit different from Canon already and he didn't know just how it would turn out. Kakashi held out the paper "Make sure to only send a small amount into it."

Naruto nodded and held it in his fingers as he gently sent a bit of his red chakra into it, which surprised the three nin 'Red chakra....?' they all thought it was strange, but what happened next made their jaws drop. When Naruto sent in his chakra, the paper split in four parts 'Wind' they all thought, but they could never has anticipated it when one part caught on fire the other wrinkled up the third turned to dust and the final became soggy. Naruto and all the other three were silent for a few moments before Naruto jumped up and down silently holding in a squeal of delight. 'I AM A GOD' his resolve finally broke as he began laughing happily as he fell to the ground.

Over there shock Kakashi and Haku raised a smile. Despite acting so mature, he really is just a child. Zabuza was more stunned than anything, had he just jumped onto a boat with the next god of shinobi? He wasn't sure, but what he did know, was that he wasn't going to jump back into the cold water since there was such a warm fire to sit next to. Kakashi was thinking to himself 'I can finally reached the Chidori to someone.' Zabuza was thinking of teaching 'Hiding in the Mist' and some other of his water jutsu. And Haku...would teach him Chakra points...

Once Naruto was done with his outburst, he quickly came back to reality and told the three present, "I want to learn these jutsu. Shunshin, and Hiding in the mist, can you guys do that for me?" Kakashi sighed in relief 'at least they are easy' "Alright, Shunshin is easy, just use the tiger seal and you should get it on your first try" he said and Natuo, as expected, he did and Naruto appeared next to Kakashi and sent a kick towards the copy nin who used his own Shunshin to appear behind Naruto and chop the back of his head. "Gotta be quicker than that." He said with an eyesmile. Zabuza was the next to demonstrate as he began 'Ox, snake, ram' and then blew mist out of his mouth until the area was covered with a thick fog. After waiting for the fog to clear, Naruto then attempted it, also getting it on the first try, and using the already present water and also blowing it, he made a fog thicker than Zabuza, he then combined the fog with shunshin and managed to touch Kakashi this time. Kakashi found it something worthy to praise "Being able to send chakra to the Hidden mist and use shunshin at the same time is impressive." He commented with an eyesmile. "Now, I shouldn't neglect the other two, why don't you practice with Zabuza and Haku in Taijutsu?" He looking at Zabuza who just grunted, Kakashi took this as a yes and walked off to the other two to give tips on tree climbing and chakra control.

The practice with Zabuza was backbreaking, even when Naruto used his Yang armor and Yin sword, which surprised Zabuza, he only managed to land one scratch on his arm. This training in Taijutsu and then genjutsu, which Naruto had no talent in but could break even better genjutsu easily, continued for another four days. Which had proved notable improvement in Naruto's Taijutsu and Sasuke's chakra control, Sakura, was still useless.

Today was the day that would have been, the showdown between the two ninja teams, but instead, they were both standing on the bridge, minues Haku, who was guarding Tsunami and Inari, I remembered his name now. The group was sitting around while talking, Sasuke asking for extra training, Sakura getting shot down by Sasuke, and Naruto having a light spar with Zabuza, who had seemed to have mellowed out after being around the group for a few days. While they were waiting Kakashi and Zabuza both stood up straight after feeling unrestrained bloodlust from the fog near the bridge. The rest of the group stood to see an army of about 70 thugs with Gato in the front. Naruto had a flash in his mind of the fat man when he kicked Haku's dead body in the show, He had grown to have a good friendship with her these past few days and he felt obligated to take out these scum. "Sensei, Zabuza, I want to fight them, alone." Zabuza's reaction was to nod approvingly and Kakashi's was agree, but on the term they would interfere if it got bad, he could use some practical training after all. Sending thanks to the two, Naruto threw a "Hide the two kids, they don't want to see this" behind him he walked out in front of the army. Kakashi had to take a minute to deduce Naruto's words, when he realised that Naruto was most likely going to use the Kyuubi's power since he had seen that Red chakra, realising this he asked the two genin to guard the builders and covertly asked Zabuza to form a mist obscuring their sight.

Once in front of the army, Naruto's blood started pumping faster. He could of sworn he heard in his mind 'Kill them! Rend them limb from limb! They dare to stand before you, show them your majesty!' He didnt think the voices were out of place at the moment, he was too excited. He wanted blood, He wanted death that was all he could think of as his pupils shrun into slits and the pupils turned yellow, two red fox ears sprouted on his head, a tail even pushed its way from out under his shirt. His teeth became longer and his nails on his hands sharpened to a tip. This was his true form after he was changed, he had gone to calling this form his 'Vastayan' form taking inspiration from the Runeterran races.

He bent his body forward a bit as he suddenly shunshin'd in front of Gato, he didn't waste time or exchange greetings before yanking him forward and used his claws to sever the tendons in his arms in legs, immobilizing him and leaving him for later. One done with the pudgy bastard, he made a leap that for a normal human would be impossible onto a nearby thug and plunged his claws into the man's neck, ripping it open and spraying himself with blood. He slowly stood and turned to the rest of the army, his eyes seemed to glow brighter as his face was covered with blood, making him seem like a yellowed eyed demon, which he was. He spoke to them in a voice not his as he fell deeper into the blood lust. "I will not be caught killing you puny mortals unfairly, as such, I will only kill one of you at a time. TRY NOT TO DIE TOO QUICKLY!" He said in a deep commanding voice that brought a few thugs to their knees in primal fear, even Kakashi and Zabuza were affected and had a cold sweat going. Zabuza turned to Kakashi and slowly asked "Is that...Really Naruto?" Kakashi looked to Zabuza and back to Naruto "I don't know, but I hope it is..."

The battle, if it could be called that, took around thirty minutes. Naruto, as the fight went on, sunk more and more into his battle lust as he seemed to enter into an instinctual frenzy as he ripped out throats with his teeth or ripped off their faces with his claws and once all of them were dead, he slowly sauntered over to the crying form of Gato who had longed since pissed his pants. As he stood over him, Gato started screaming off in a terrified voice "M-m-m-m-money! I'll give you money! dont kill me, please! I can make you RIch- AGHAH!" Naruto didn't wait for him to finish wailing as he stabs him right under his rib cage with his claws, and then pulled them out and a few centimeters down stabbed again, until his fat stomach was opened up with his entrails hanging out at his eyes opened with terror on his dead face. Naruto then walked past his body towards Kakashi and Zabuza before his body quickly reverted to his human form as he fell flat on his face, unconscious.
