12 Chapter 12

During dinner*

Everyone was eating, and the Tazuna's grandson, Inari, suddenly began to cry.

"Why do you train so much? Ultimately the strong will overcome the weak! You too will die just like my father!" Inari said aloud as he cried.

"Hmph! You are a whining brat even though you haven't seen anything about life yet. I would rather be defeated after working and trying rather than accepting fate like you and crying constantly." Naruto said in a low voice.

"What do you know! I'm sure you live happily in your village! They killed my father right before my eyes! You don't know what the real pain is." Inari said.

"Why are you acting like your life is so bad? You have a mother and grandfather who loves and cares for you. But all you know is to cry. Real pain? I'll tell you what real pain is."

"When you were a child, did you try to find food to avoid hunger? Did you have family and friends as a child? Have you ever had to live cautiously to avoid being attacked? You keep crying even though you haven't experienced any of these." Naruto said.

Naruto later said before getting up from his chair and leaving the house, "Sensei, I'm going to practice. I'll come in the morning."

"Tsk! I wouldn't think I would get so angry. My experiences affected me seriously. Anyway, thanks to what happened, I will be able to train freely tonight. Fortunately, he will die during the chuunin exams so I can train freely now." Naruto said on his way into the forest.

"Sensei, why did Naruto act like that? I've never seen him so angry before." Sakura asked.

"Well… I can't tell you everything but let me explain some of it. Naruto never had a family, he was always alone. Frankly, he did not have any close friends. I also know that he had a pretty bad childhood. I can only tell you these." Kakashi said.

"What could he have lived through?" Sakura thought.

"Interesting. What could be the reason he couldn't tell us? He said had a very difficult childhood. He aroused my curiosity." Shikamaru thought.

The bridge was completely covered in fog, and Team 7 was on guard.

"It's time to fight again, Kakashi. Look at that dark-haired emo! He was so afraid of me that he is still trembling. How pathetic." Said a voice in the fog.

Later several Zabuza appeared around Team 7.

"This time I'm trembling with excitement, not fear." Sasuke said, and then jumped forward and cut all Zabuza water clones.

Zabuza and the masked person appeared across the bridge.

"My guess was correct so the two of you were together." Kakashi said.

"My clone caught two thugs who came to attack the Tazuna's house. I notified Team 10 as well, they are coming towards the bridge right now." Naruto whispered.

"I will fight him. Don't get involved, Naruto!" Sasuke said, looking at the masked person.

"Sigh* Well, I won't interfere until you're in trouble." Naruto said.

"This brat has gotten stronger. It looks like you've got one more rival, Haku. But this time you have the advantage, you can use the spilled water for your jutsu with the disappearance of the clones." Zabuza whispered.

"Understood," Haku said, and quickly turned around and started heading towards Sasuke.

After the two got closer, they started fighting.

"Sakura, protect Tazuna. Naruto, you help Sasuke from afar." After saying Kakashi, he started to fight with Zabuza.

The ice mirrors turned Sasuke into a dome. Haku, on the other hand, was throwing senbon needles at Sasuke as he crawled through the ice mirrors.

"Do you want me to help you?" Naruto told Sasuke, who had cuts in many parts of his body.

"No, I can handle it myself!" Sasuke said while clenching his teeth.

After Sasuke's body was amputated for a while, Naruto said, "Are you sure? It doesn't seem like that to me."

"Shut up! I started to see his movements more or less." Sasuke said.

Haku and Sasuke continued to fight for a while longer. While they were fighting, there was a lot of fog around him, which is why Kakashi's sharingan was a little weakened.

"Oi! If you go like this, you will die. Oh? Have you awakened your Sharingan? Congratulations, I hope you enjoy it." Naruto told Sasuke, who had many senbon needles in his body.

"You!!" Sasuke said while fainted and collapsed to the ground.

"Ups* I guess I was teasing a little too much. Anyway, now it's my turn, are you ready? I've been dying to fight for the last few days. There are so many things I want to try on you." Naruto said, appearing next to Sasuke's body.

At that time, Team 10 had arrived at the bridge. Asuma immediately went to Kakashi and started to help him.

"Naruto! Sasuke! Do you need help?" Shikamaru said after getting a little closer to the ice mirrors.

"Just help Sasuke!" Naruto said as he threw Sasuke towards Shikamaru.

"What? Sasuke! Are you okay?" Sakura said while coming running.

They then lifted Shikamaru and Sakura Sasuke and took them to the Tazuna.

"Now we can start as there is no one to bother us anymore." Naruto smiled and he said while turning to Haku.

"What? Do you have it too?" Haku said, looking into Naruto's two eyes, which are the sharingan.

"Hm? Sharingan? Of course, there is. There are other things I can use but if I use them, I can get noticed. Anyway, is there anything like the last word you want to say? " Naruto said as his red eyes glowed.

"Tsk* You see yourself too much!" Haku said quickly as he threw the senbon needles.

Naruto easily prevented the senbon needles from reaching him.

"You are also proud of your speed. Oh? Look, Zabuza is dying, so I have to finish my job." Naruto said.

After looking at Zabuza for a moment, Haku saw that Kakashi was about to pierce Zabuza's chest with lightning in his hand. Immediately afterward, he got off the ice and started running towards Zabuza.

But before he could go too far, Naruto appeared behind him and pierced Haku's throat with his kunai. At that moment, Kakashi's hand pierced Zabuza's heart and killed him.

"Naruto? You killed him! Why?" Sakura and Ino were staring at Naruto in disbelief.

"Ha? Why won't I kill him? I'm a ninja and he's my enemy. It's that simple." Naruto said calmly.

"It was definitely not Naruto's first kill. Someone who kills for the first time would not behave like that." Kakashi said while looking at Naruto.

A few minutes later, a man in a suit came to the bridge with a group of bandits behind him.

"It looks like Zabuza and his brat just didn't get the job done. At least I'm not going to pay them that much. Kill them all." The person in the suit ordered the bandits behind him.

"Sensei, will you help, or do I kill them all?" Naruto asked.

"Let me help. Asuma?" Kakashi said while taking out his kunai.

Team 7 and Team 10 looked at them as if they were going to throw up, as the trio soon killed all the bandits.

Some of Kakashi and Asuma's hits were for mutilation and some of them were for killing. Naruto was killing everyone who came in his way.
