7 Talk with Haku, Gato's Annihilation
> Fire Nation - Land of Waves - Tazuna's House
Waking up I find myself upside down on the floor again. 'What's up with waking up in the floor again and again...?' I think, before going to take a shower before going to look for Haku. 'Maybe he will show up today... I don't expect anything by the way...'
-------------------
After showering and eating something with the others, Kakashi started training Sasuke and Sakura, surprised by their actual control over their chakra because of their previous training. Me, on the other side, will be going to the forest, looking for Haku.
My search resulted at nothing. He won't come before the training that happened in canon. So I will just wait while training my taijutsu. On my searchs with the shadow clones, I came across various taijutsu styles, but none that satisfied me. Until two days before this mission, it is. The name of the taijutsu ultimate move is Leaf Dragon God, and to use it will take a while... Basically it's the ultimate taijutsu move of the one and only legendary taijutsu master Chen.
It was sad to find this on the library, inside the old books area. On the good side, now I have a taijutsu move that can rival Guy's ones. It'll take a while because the necessary body requirements are absurdly high. Lets just be happy that I have a way now, and start training my body for that.
--------------------
After a few days of training, I wake up on the forest and see Haku by my side. It's really a wonder how he looks like so much like a girl. "Hello..." He says, softly. "Hello, who are you?" I ask, even if I already know the answer. "My name's Haku, and you? What are you doing here out in the forest?" He asks. "I'm Naruto, and I was training until late and got carried away..."
"Here, let me help you..." He says, tending to my scars from the previous night's training. "Thanks..." I say, looking at him. "Say, why do you follow Zabuza like that?" I ask and he jumps back really fast, and I can see some senbons on his free hand. "How do you know that?" He asks and I answer "The voice, the posture, the senbons hidden away... So many clues... But about my question..."
"He saved my life, and now I owe him with that..." He said. "Yeah, a good man, huh? Hell no... He killed many innocents, and now you guys are being betrayed by that Gato guy. Really dumb of you to trust him..." I say and look at him with pity. "How do you know about that..." He says again prepairing to throw his senbons at me.
"No need to get so worked up, Haku. I'm not wanting to fight at all. Just chill, okay? First of all, you and Zabuza needs to get away from Gato, and if possible, help us dealing with them while Tazuna makes the bridge. If that happens, you guys can survive and you can continue serving Zabuza with your life..." I say, taking a pause to drink some water from my storage seal. "I will only warn you one time, as I'm not that good of a man myself. If you don't listen, then I won't help you two against Gato's men... That's what I wanted to say, but I want you guys to live, so I'll help anyway. I'll be going back. Good luck and I hope you make the right decision so I can have less work to do..." I end and go back to the house, taking a shower and prepairing for the day.
--------------------
After showering, I go together with Team 7 to overlook the bridge building. After some time just lazying around while Sasuke and Sakura trained while being overlooked by Kakashi, we hear some sounds coming from the forest and prepare for an ambush right away.
"Looks like you didn't take my advice..." I say while looking at a tree branch, where Haku is standing. "Not that I care, by the way. You will not be dying today, however..." I continue and suddenly a *POOF* sound comes and takes Haku by surprise. When he was going to jump foward to avoid being hit, he was late and got hit at the nape of his neck, making his body go limp. "That's one down..." I say, looking at Zabuza fighting some of my clones.
"You guys can continue training, I will take care of them for now..." I say to my team while walking towards where my clones are fighting. On my way, I pick up Haku's body and put him on my shoulder. "Hey, Zabuza! Did Haku tell you about what I said?" I say and my clones flicker a little away from him. He looks at me and grit his teeth. "Yeah, but why do you care?! I'll complete my assignment!" He says and start running in the direction of the bridge.
7 steps was what he got before the same that happened with Haku, happened with him. "Rushing and expecting no traps? Really dumb..." I say while walking towards him. I pick up his body and put him on my other shoulder. I leave with them towards Tazuna's house, and when I got there, I tied them up and got two clones to overlook them, and go back to the bridge.
--------------------
On my way, I sensed several dozens people coming to the bridge. So, when I reached there, I said to Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke "Prepare for a fight, there seems to be some Gato's men coming to finish what Zabuza was suposed to start..." And they prepare some traps at the command of Kakashi. I have dozens of clones on standby if anything goes wrong, so... Nothing to worry.
"Looks like Zabuza didn't do his job at all... Not that it matters by the way... ATTACK!" Gato came and said without even thinking about anything. It is a really dumb action to send bandits after ninjas, after all.
Several dozens of his men rushed at my team, which started launching the traps. It didn't take more than 5 seconds until nearly all of the ones on the front died. Sakura was throwing up on the side while Sasuke looked really pale, but held in his urges. I just go to Sakura and pat her back. "Get accustomed, that's what the world you choose is about..." I say, before looking at Kakashi and noding at him.
"Okay, enough..." Kakashi said before doing some handseals and using several AOE jutsus to kill Gato's men. All it took was 1 minute until all of them are dead before him, with only Gato on his knees looking really scared at Kakashi. "So, will you finish him?" I ask, looking at Kakashi. "No need, he lost his will... Just deliver him to Konoha." He said and I just nodded, before sending a clone to tie him up and take him to Konoha. "I'll clean up here, you take them to Tazuna's house..." I say to Kakashi and he nods before leaving with Sakura, Sasuke and Tazuna.
I summon my clones on standby to clear the corpses and some to go after his wealth. I'm not passing on this chance to get some free money, okay? After all is done, I go towards Tazuna's house to take a well deserved rest. 'All according to keikaku...' I think on my way.
