Chapter - 63

Naruto stood there with one hand in his pocket and the one of his fingers with his other hand blocking his sword. Naruto smirks.

"Well you surely do know how to swing a sword. Above average skill at best Zabuza Momoichi.

Well let me show you the difference in our skill. "

At instant Naruto shunpo's behind him and draws his sword with his other hand slicing Zabuza's body. It all happened too fast for Zabuza, he didn't even registered what happened.

The water clone suddenly disappeared.

The original Zabuza was in shock at how quick he moved. It was then he felt liquid rolling down his arm.

Looking down he see's blood. Shocked he hears Naruto speak .

"Zabuza-san. Look at where I struck you.

" Zabuza looks ay his arm and instantly goes wide eyed, Naruto seeing this continues.

"Yes you see I was an inch a way from slicing an artery. My precision is precise.

So that was to instill fear. Tell me Zabuza-san do you fear me now knowing I have the speed and precision to end your life at an instant?"

Zabuza only looks at him silently still in shock. Turning slightly Naruto see's his reaction.

"I see it has worked. Although I am curious how you fare with such a big sword.

Would you mind appeasing my curiosity?"

With The Gennin

Shino and Kiba sat there with there jaws opened. "Shino, did you see that? Kakashi-sensei and Kurenai-sensei had such trouble fighting him but this guy had no problem.

Who is he?" Kiba says.

Shino adjusts his glasses "I believe he is Naruto Namikaze. He was in our class on graduating day.

You don't remember the skills he show cased at the graduation test's?" Kiba looks at him and yells "Thats this guy!" Shino nods.

Hinata decided to butt in "Yes Naruto-kun is very strong. I haven't seen him fight a real opponent but I didn't know he was this strong too" Hinata said blushing at how manly he looked in battle.

Sakura and Sai stood surprised as well. Sauske on the other hand was fuming.

"First he takes my mom, now he takes down an A class missing nin. How did he get this much power? It must be his sword.

I will demand it from him when it's over" Sauske thought.

"Look at this baka trying to upstage my Sauske-kun. I bet Sauske-kun could have defeated him if he didn't have to come and interrupt the match" Sakura thought

Back To Naruto And Zabuza

"Shit I didn't even see him move. Not only that but he's right.

He could have killed me at instantly. But why am I still alive.

It just seems he's looking for a good fight though. From his swordsmanship skills it seems his skills dwarf any of the members in the seven ninja swordsman of the mist.

Damn I'm bleeding to heavily I will surely die if I continue" Zabuza thought.

"I suggest you let Kakashi-san go before I end your miserable existence. "Naruto says.

Zabuza was about to say something until he felt tiny needles prick his neck. Zabuza drops and releases the water prison justu Kakashi's in.

Looking at Zabuza body they see a figure with a mask,

"Yes thank you for weakening him. I have been searching for him for awhile.

I am hunter nin. He is my bounty now" The masked person said before disappearing with the body.

With them gone Naruto quickly shunpo's towards Kurenai checking her vitals. Team 8 ran towards their sensei.

"Naruto-kun is Kurenai-sensei alright?" Hinata said. Naruto looks at her and smiles causing her to blush.

"Yes she is Hinata-chan, aside from her cut she just passed out is all. " Naruto then performs a simple healing kido on her covering the cut.

He looks towards Kiba and Shino.

"Hey man thank for saving our sensei. " Kiba says as Shino nods as well.

"It was no problem Kurenai-chan is a good friend of mine" He begins to lift Kurenai in his arm bridal style and walks over to Kakashi and his team.

"Kakashi-san" Naruto says. Kakashi eye smiles "Naruto" Naruto then speaks "Ji-ji has informed me of your situation.

I am here as your back up. " Kakashi nods "I guessed so considering your elite gennin status.

" Sauske starts to walk over to Naruto.

"Hey dobe. Give me your sword.

" Naruto turns his gaze to him while the others (minus Sakura) face faulted at the stupidity.

"You call me a dobe yet you did nothing to help your sensei. Very logical Sauske-kun.

Tell me how is your mom?" Naruto said while others even Kakashi couldn't help but snicker at his jab. Sauske's eyes were now fuming, he was about to retort until Kakashi decided to change the subject.

"Well now that our little battle has ended lets head to your house eh Tazuna?" Kakashi says looking at Tazuna who was still looking at awe at Naruto. "Umm yeah lets go" They began to walk with Tazuna, while Sauske shot a glare at Naruto along with Sakura joining her Sauske-kun.

Upon walking he was asked questions by the other gennin, Mainly about why he was so strong at only there age. Kurenai slowly woke up.

"Ouch my head. W-Where am I?" She slightly tilts her head and sees Kakashi's team walking forward.

Titling her head more she see's her students. "Okay if my students are beside me and Kakashi's team is ahead of us, w-where is Naruto-kun? I know I saw him save me" Looking up she see's her blonde savior holding her.

She instantly blushes. "Should I tell I'm awake so I can walk? No this gives me an excuse to get carried by him" She thought giddily snuggling closer falling asleep again.

Naruto feels this and looks down and smiles at her soft and relaxed features.

Hinata on the other hand saw her open her eyes and was about to greet her until she did something that made her a little jealous. She snuggled into him further.

She glared at her sensei. "She's awake and yet she still wants to get carried by her.

What the hell. I wish that was me instead" Hinata thought.

Slowly Hinata realized she developed a deep crush on Naruto. The way he was so calm and caring with her made her like him.

Along with how he comforted her and believed in her. She was just trying to figure out how to let him know.

"Ah yes here is my house!" Tazuna yelled. Reaching the house they went inside.

"Tsunami I am home!" At in instant a lady with long violet hair, black eyes and civilian clothing with an apron walks in and hugs Tazuna.

"Tou-san your back! How did it go?" Tsunami asked. Tazuna grinned "Well I got the help from the village but this blonde man hear saved our behinds.

If it wasn't for him we all might possibly have been dead. "

Tazuna looked at everyone "Guys this my daughter Tsunami" Tazuna says. Everyone greeted her with their names.

Tsunami then turns her gaze to meet this young man. Blonde hair, nice physique and fierce eyes.

She couldn't help but stifle a little blush by such a beautiful man. She walks forward.

"I thank you for helping my tou-san" She says smiling. Naruto smiles back "It is no problem at all.

The other ninja's here helped as well. Do you have a place I can lay Kurenai-chan? She is very exhausted" Tsunami nods

"Yes there are a couple bedrooms upstairs. Please choose one.

" Naruto begins to walk off with Kurenai. Going up the stairs he picked a random room.

Upon reaching the bed he sets her down but notices she isn't letting go.

She only seems to snuggle closer to him. Not knowing what to do he hears Kurenai mumble something.

"Naruto-kun" Naruto smiles.

"Is she dreaming about me? Well you certainty are interesting Kurenai-chan" Naruto thought. He proceeded to kiss her forehead.

She then loosens her grip enough for him to set her down. Closing the door he heads back downstairs.

Reaching the bottom he see's all the gennin huddled up around Kakashi. "Naruto we need to talk" Naruto raises his eyebrows.

"What about?"

"About Zabuza being alive"
