Chapter 13: Meeting the Fishcake

A majestic bird entirely made up of blue blames soared through the clouds above a lush green forest.

'I wonder if the Naruto bridge has been already made, The anime never gave the exact timing of chuinin exams and the Orochimaru incident. I will make my presence known when the 3 sanin battle.' Sanemi thought as he tried to remember the incidents must have started or will start to begin.

'I first need to register myself as a mercenary near the land of waves and join Gato's forces, that too would be a good time to reveal myself.' Sanemi continued to think about when he should meet the protagonist's team.

'I guess I will start with joining Gato's force, if he is already dead then I will show myself at the 3 sanin battle.' Sanemi made his mind and then changed his direction towards the land of fire.

UNKNOWN PLACE:

"So you are finally here S-rank rogue Strawhat: The lost samurai, I must say I can make a movie just from that name," A small fat man with round glasses said as he looked at the man in front of him.

"It doesn't matter I am only involved because of money you promised Gato if there is even a Ryo less you will die with this company," Sanemi said as he glared at the man.

"Oh yes, of course, I have already sent Zabuza the demon of the mist already to handle at the bridge we will go there in a few minutes as well be assured if you just protect me this time I will give you 200,000,000 Ryo" Gato squeaked as he felt chills running up his spine.

'He is the real deal he will really kill me' Gato thought as his legs were wobbling.

"Just know what you promised its about time as well let's get going," Sanemi said as he moved out of the room.

'It seems that the Chunin exams start towards the end of this year since Gato is still alive, I will just kill Zabuza and Gato and check out the cast' Sanemi thought as he remembered a few days ago he got a message that rich tycoon was recruiting mercenary to protect himself.

'Now then let's see how the Demon o the mist is doing' Sanemi said to his heard and put on a black cloak and then disappeared in the darkness.

UNKNOWN BRIDGE:

"Raikiri!" A silver-haired man wearing Konoha jonin gear shouted as his hands gathered lightning and rushed towards a man held down by dogs.

"KAAAAKH" A man's wail was heard as he was pierced by the lightning.

"Haku?" The man held down by the dogs muttered as he saw the boy in front of him get pierced by the attack.

"You said that my future was death? you were off the mark again Kakashi" The man held by dogs said as the dogs disappeared in smoke.

"Kakashi-sensei!" A boy with blond hair shouted as he got near the Silver-haired man.

"Sasuke-kun!!" A girl with bright pink hair screamed as she held the boy's black hair who looked like he fought a porcupine.

"It seems that you failed haven't you Zabuza" A sound came from the other end of the bridge as a short man with a fat belly wearing round glasses came in view along with 40 more men holding weapons.

"Gato?" Zabuza muttered.

"What are you doing here?" Zabuza asked as he narrowed his eyes towards the mercenaries behind the short man.

"Of course to tell you that you won't be able to receive your payment sadly"

"Hueahahahhahah," Gato said and then laughed.

"Kakashi of the Sharingan I presume" Another heavy voice came from their back as everyone looked behind to see a man wearing a straw hat and a black cloak.

Kakashi and Zabuza's eyes widened as they saw the figure and the both of them got in a defensive pose.

"Mugiwara: The lost samurai, you are a quite famous mercenary tell me did Gato buy you too?" Kakashi said in a serious tone.

"So you with the fat man as well, in that case, I will beat you up too, dattebayo!" The golden-haired boy said as he got in a stance.

"Oh is that so? very well then I will fight all of you right now at the same time, Gato don't you dare send a man over here or else he will die with you do you understand!" Sanemi yelled out as he pulled out Shusui from its scabbard.

"Ah! yes, of course," Gato said in glee and promptly backed off.

"Kakashi...even though we have our differences we will need to take this one out together or both of us can die here," Zabuza said.

"You are right Naruto stand back and help Sakura do not engage with the man," Kakashi said as he commanded the boy to stand back.

"But Kakashi-sensei..." Naruto tried to argue as he too wanted to help.

"Naruto this is an order he is not a normal mercenary he is an S- rank it is said he has destroyed over 7 villages and hunted multiple people of a similar level of strength of mine so stand back from this one" Kakashi shouted to his student who reluctantly nodded.

"Well then now that you are done strategizing come at me," Sanemi said as held Shusui by his side.

"Let's start this then" Kakashi and Zabuza both rushed towards the man in front of them.

"Haaah" Zabuza yelled as he swung his blade towards Sanemi who casually blocked it with his own.

"So this is the power of one of the legendary 7 swordsmen of mist? I am disappointed" Sanemi said.

"He is not alone," Kakashi said he stabbed the kunai towards Sanemi.

"Ho?" Sanemi pushed off Zabuza and ducked to dodge the kunai and then performed a set of quick hand signs.

{EARTH STYLE: EARTH WALL}

A wall made up of rocked and mud shot from the ground and hit Kakashi as he wobbled and then disappeared in smoke.

"Water Style: Water dragon jutsu" Kakashi's voice came from the river as a dragon made of water aimed for Sanemi.

"Oh?" Sanemi raised his eyebrow a little as he saw the water dragon.

'When did he make a clone? I don't remember him making any hand signs' Sanemi thought as he prepared to jump away from the attack.

"No, you don't," Zabuza said as he threw multiple kunai towards Sanemi cutting off his escape.

'No, the clone was premade he merely substituted with it when he was hit by the wall. It means it was a contingency plan in case both of his students failed' Sanemi concluded and then made another set of hand signs.

{FIRE STYLE: DRAGON FIRE JUTSU}

Sanemi blew out a dragon made of flames as it crashed with the water dragon and created even more mist.

"He is coming from left" Kakashi warned Zabuza as he detected Sanemi with his Sharingan.

"Quite smart of you, you are actually helping each other out consider me impressed," Sanemi said as he slashed towards Zabuza who defended wit with his blade.

"Let's take this up a notch shall we?" Sanemi said as he made a couple of hand signs.

{YIN RELEASE: FIRE STYLE: FIREBIRD STAR}

Sanemi blew out crimson flames which took the form of a bird and rushed towards the two men.

"Water style: waterfall jutsu" Zabuza yelled as he canceled out the firebird with a stream of water.

"Khakh" Zabuza yelped as got on the ground on one knee.

"I am almost out of chakra Kakashi do you have a plan," Zabuza asked the Konoha nin.

"I don't have one he is just playing with us, I don't know what he can pull out of his pockets," Kakashi said as he too panted little.

"Sensei!" Naruto yelled as he saw his sensei and Zabuza exhausted.

"Naruto stay at your position as your sensei I cannot have you killed with me around," Kakashi said towards the boy in orange.

"Oh? so you too are shinobi of the leaf what is your name boy considering you have guts to glare at me when your superiors are down," Sanemi said as he looked at the protagonist of the show.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto the future Hokage, dattebayo" Naruto yelled out.

"Oh? you don't look like an Uzumaki you know" Sanemi said.

"And you said you wanna be the Hokage? Brat do you not know who the Hokage are?" Sanemi continued.

"I know who they are and what their deeds but I am the one who is going to surpass them all, I Naruto Uzumaki am going to become the greatest Hokage, dattebayo!" Naruto yelled out after he gritted his teeth and a determined look.

"Oh? you certainly have the fire for your dream very well then." Sanemi said and in a flash slashed both Kakashi and Zabuza with Shusui and cut off Zabuza's head.

"Aaah" Kakashi yelled in surprise as his chest was slashed and he was down on his knees.

"haah...haah...haah" Kakashi panted as his adrenaline wore off and his pain caught up.

"KAKASHI-SENSEI! HOW DARE YOU" Naruto yelled in rage and charged towards Sanemi with kunai.

"Oh, you are actually going to start the fight? I wanted to start it but this works as well" Sanemi said as he sheathed Shusui and pulled out a wooden kunai.

"Well the come," Sanemi said as he put an invisible armament haki layer around his kunai.

"I AM GOING TO DEFEAT YOU DATTEBAYO" Naruto yelled as he rushed towards Sanemi.

"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU" Naruto yelled made a small army of shadow clones and all of them charged towards Sanemi.

"You have quite an impressive amount of chakra." Sanemi praised Naruto and he looked at the clone army coming towards him and made a single hand sign.

{FIRE STYLE: MAJESTIC DESTROYER FLAMES}

Sanemi once again took a breath and blew out a massive wall of flames which crashed with the army and created a large amount of smoke.

"What?" Sanemi yelped in surprise as he saw a lightning blade heading right towards his face from the smoke.

"Raikiri" Kakashi yelled as he pierced through Sanemi's face.

"Gotya!" Naruto exclaimed in victory.

"Huh?" Kakashi's eyes widened in surprise as the Sanemi turned into smoke.

"A shadow clone?" Kakashi muttered.

"That is correct" Kakashi turned around only to receive a kick on his face.

"Sensei!" Sakura yelled as she held a black-haired boy's body.

"Damn you!" Naruto said and charged towards Sanemi.

"This all you have? the shadow clone jutsu? you are disappointment Naruto and you wish to be a Hokage? I would be surprised if you could make it into Jonin ranks. " Sanemi said as he dodged the shadow clone army around him.

"Who said that I only have shadow clone jutsu here take this my ultimate jutsu," Naruto said as all the clones made a hand sign and spoke appeared around the bridge, Even Sakura attentively stared at the battle.

"Secret technique: Harem Jutsu" Naruto yelled and all the clones turned into beautiful women completely naked.

'what the hell?' Sakura thought in pure confusion.

"Huh?" Sanemi raised his eyebrow and then swung his kunai creating a wind slash that dispelled all the clones.

"What you broke out my harem jutsu? I don't believe it" Naruto said out loud in disbelief.

'You know what I am disappointed in myself for thinking he was smarter in this word tier' Sanemi thought and then let out a sigh.

"You have entertained me enough but there is no need of you anymore," Sanemi said as the wooden kunai turned black and he then threw it towards Naruto and it hit him on his chest.

"Naruto" Sakura now yelled as she saw all of her team down.

"Well done, well done, you are indeed as strong as the rumors say," Gato said as he dried some of his sweat and came into the view.

"RAAAHHH" A loud noise took Sanemi's attention as he saw Naruto now covered in chaotic red chakra which bubbled around his skin.

"Oh? so are a Jincuriki? I will have to inform the leader" Sanemi casually said and unsheathed Enma and charged towards Naruto.

"I will not let you hurt my friends and sensei any longer" Naruto yelled and he too rushed towards Sanemi.
