Chapter 20 Wave mission 2

Land of waves.....

Tazuna's daughter opened the door after someone knocked on it.

Tazuna said, "Hey Tsunami everything is alright. When I was out."

Tsunami replied, "Yes Father everything is alright. Who are these people?"

Tazuna said, "Ohh they are ninjas whom I hired from Hidden Leaf Village for our protection during the construction of the bridge."

Kakashi greeted her, "Hello miss Tsunami, my name is Kakashi Hatake and this is my team. The red hair blondie is Naruto, the pink-haired is Sakura and the black hair is Sasuke."

Tsunami said, "Thanks for protecting my father. Except Inari, I only have my father."

Kakashi asked, "Inari ??"

Tsunami said, "My son."

Naruto suddenly said to her, "Here is a rabbit for dinner. I hope you like rabbit meat." He takes out a dead rabbit and gives it to her.

Sakura said, "Naruto, please don't scare everybody you meet."

Naruto replied, "I told you already it is for dinner not to scare people."

Sasuke said to Naruto, "How you were not affected by Zabuza Momochi's killing intent when he attacked us?"

Sakura asked, "Where did you learn kenjutsu? It wasn't taught in the academy."

Tsunami asked, "You were attacked by someone?"

Naruto replied, "Yeah we were attacked by Zabuza Momochi, a rogue ninja. For Zabuza Momochi's killing intent, it affected me, but I got excited by that. And for your question Sakura even if the academy doesn't teach us kenjutsu that doesn't mean, I can't learn it from somewhere else."

Kakashi appeared between them and said, "Sakura it is not written by any shinobi laws that you have to learn from academy only. Like in the clans, they teach their younglings to fight from childhood for a better chance of survival in the battle."

Tsunami said to them, "I will prepare food for all of you."

Kakashi pleaded, "Naruto please eat in limit."

Naruto said, "I know when to hold back. I am going for a walk."

Naruto walked outside in a secluded place in the forest. Someone is waiting for him.

Naruto said, "What's the report Pandora Actor?"

Pandora replied, "Lord Naruto I found his secret money resources, his bank account, and all the money he collected in his lifetime."

Naruto said, "Good job Pandora. Take some of his nice-looking ships after his death. Our docks are empty, we have to fill them, and it may be useful in the future for us."

Pandora replied, "Before his dead body is found everything will be done by that time. I found out about Zabuza and Haku. He is injured and will take nearly two weeks to fully recover to attack you."

Naruto said, "Now return to Nazarick and keep a few Shadow demons with Gato to inform you about his death and his attack on me.

Pandora replied, "I shall return at once, Your Majesty."

Naruto thought, "He is quite a unique character."

Pandora Actor returned Uzushiogakure with a gate spell.

Naruto returned to Tazuna's house. Lunch is already served.

Tsunami said to Naruto, "You came at the right time. We are about to serve the lunch."

Tazuna said, "Eat up boy you are still growing."

Naruto said, "Someone was calling me a milk-drinking brat in the Hokage tower."

Tazuna apologized for it, "Don't take it to heart."

Naruto replied, "An old man is asking nicely so I can forget about it for one time."

Tazuna said, "I am not that old."

Tsunami said at that time, "Dad you are getting old."

Everyone's lightening up during lunch. Then a boy enters.

Tazuna introduced him, "This is my grandson, Inari."

Tsunami said in a sweet voice, "Say hello to our guest Inari, they are here to protect your grandpa, while he builds the bridge."

Inari said in an unfriendly tone, "You all gonna die. Gato is a very powerful man, he will kill you all."

Naruto replied, "O. k. anything else."

Inari said, "He has a lot of powerful goons and he is gonna come after you. You cannot run and hide from him."

Naruto replied, "Thanks for telling."

Inari said, "You are going to die when he is going to come here."

Naruto replied, "You joke a lot kid. Can you tell me about this Gato later? I can puke from laughing."

Inari got angry and ran away in his room.

Naruto said, "Did I say something wrong Tsunami san."

Tsunami replied, "No it's nothing. It's just that everyone is afraid of Gato."

Sakura asked her, "Why they don't do anything about it?"

Tsunami said, "Everyone who goes against him dies."

Naruto replied, "I have a perfect plan to get rid of that."

Tazuna curiously asked, "And what's your plan?"

Naruto said, "Bring Gato to me, I will cut his head and hang it on the street as simple as that."

Sakura furiously said, "What kind of plan is that?"

Naruto calmly said, "A quick one."

Tazuna is impressed by him and says, "You are quite different from other people Naruto."

Naruto said, "What about your villagers? Today it is Gato and after Gato, there will be someone else. What they will do then? You all should stand up for your own if you want to make it a safe place."

Tazuna replied, "I know that."

After eating lunch, Kakashi took all three of his students outside.

Kakashi said, "We have at least two weeks to prepare against the Zabuza."

Sakura replied, "Can't he come after that?"

Kakashi said, "As soon as his wound gets healed he will be back for Tazuna's head. So I am going to teach you how to better control your chakra by tree walking."

Sakura replied, "But we already know how to climb the tree."

Kakashi said, "Not like that Sakura, I will show you.

kakashi does a hand sign and after collecting his chakra he walks up to the tree without his hands.

Kakashi said, "You have to collect your chakra on the sole of your feet and walk up on the tree. But remember don't use too much otherwise tree will blast and use too little, you will slip. It is a tree walking exercise with chakra."

Sakura goes for the tree climbing exercise and nails it on the first try because of her perfect chakra control.

Kakashi looked impressed and said, "Wow Sakura, you have perfect chakra control."

Sakura replied, "Thanks, Kakashi sensei."

Naruto tried it next and fell after 5 steps. Sasuke tries too and slips from the tree after a few steps.

Kakashi said, "You have to practice it boys take your kunai and slash at the place your highest point you reached."

Naruto calms his mind and calculates the chakra needed for tree walking. Naruto tries a few more times. After his 7th attempt, he reached the highest point and walked back.

Naruto said, "Kakashi sensei I did it."

Kakashi replied, "For a large reserve of chakra, you did quite well. Sasuke tries to maintain the connection while focusing on chakra."

Sakura encouraged him, "You can do it Sasuke kun."

Sasuke was getting angry to be left behind by both of his teammates in a simple chakra exercise.

Naruto said, "Kakashi sensei can you teach me water walking."

Sakura said with a puzzled expression, "There is more of those chakra control exercises."

Naruto replied, "That's how Kakashi sensei battled Zabuza on the river. Both of them battled with such a control."

Kakashi said, "You have a good observation Naruto. Do you want to join the water walking exercise, Sakura, or do you want to stay with Sasuke?" He thought, 'Let's see how much you grew in the past few days.'

Sakura said without hesitation, "I will learn it with Sasuke kun." She thought, 'I will get some alone time with Sasuke kun.'

Kakashi looked at Naruto and said, "Looks like you are going to learn it alone, Naruto."

Naruto replied, "Most of my life I struggled alone with my horrible chakra control. I am getting a chance to improve my chakra control and I am grabbing it. That's all it matters."

Kakashi said to her, "Sakura keep an eye on Sasuke."

Sakura nodded her head and said, "Yes sensei."

Kakashi said, "Let's go Naruto."

After that Naruto and Kakashi left. Sasuke notices the absence of both his sensei and teammate. He approaches Sakura to inquire about it.

Sasuke said, "Sakura where is Kakashi sensei and Naruto."

Sakura replied, "Naruto asked Kakashi sensei to teach him the water walking exercise. He agreed and took him."

Sasuke asked, "Water walking?"

Sakura said, "It is another chakra control exercise. You have seen how Kakashi sensei fought Zabuza on water."

Sasuke asked, "You haven't gone with them."

Sakura blushed a little and said, "They asked me, but I told them I would learn it with you. So they told me to keep an eye on you."

Sasuke asked her, "Tell me how you did it on the first try?"

Sakura said, "I kept my mind clear, and didn't lose the exact concentration needed to remain attached to the tree."

Sasuke replied, "Thanks Sakura. Now I must continue my training. I don't want to be left behind by that loser."

Sakura encouraged him, "You can do it Sasuke kun."

Sasuke resumed his tree walking exercise while making progress.

Meanwhile.....

Naruto and Kakashi reached the river where the water wasn't deep.

Kakashi lectured him, "You did well during the tree climbing exercise, Naruto. The water walking is the same as tree walking but you have to shift the balance of chakra continuously according to the currents of water."

Kakashi showed him the exercise. Naruto tried for the first time and after 3rd step, he fell into the water. It happened a few more times. Naruto slowly adapted to the situation. After his 25th try, he managed to complete it.

Naruto said, "I did it again."

Kakashi said, "Well done Naruto. Now you can return to Tazuna's house and I will go and watch Sakura and Sasuke. Remember to practice it more so it can become like your second nature."

Naruto replied, "I will practice it."

Naruto returned to Tazuna's house for their protection. Naruto is looking at the notification which popped up in front of him.

Naruto said, "Thanks, Jane."

Naruto made some clones disguised as civilians and went towards the village and some as animals who roamed around the Tazuna's house to look for any sudden attack.

Meanwhile in Zabuza's hideout....

Gato angrily said, "You failed Zabuza. I promised to give you money and this is the result I got. I don't want that Tazuna to build a bridge. My business will collapse because of the damn bridge."

Haku said, "Zabuza sama told me that the mission will completed in two weeks and the bridge will be destroyed."

Gato said with a vicious look, "Two weeks are you kidding me? You are suffering a great deal of injuries, let me end it for you."

He signalled his rogue samurai bodyguard who came with him. But before they could take their swords out of their sheath. Haku appears between them and the swords have fallen from their hands. They got terrified by his speed.

Haku replied, "Zabuza sama told me that he will finish the mission in 2 weeks. So please don't come here before and disturb him."

Gato angrily said, "Fine I will give you only two weeks."

Gato leaves with his minions.

Zabuza said to Haku, "You shouldn't have to go to such lengths for me."

Haku replied with a smile, "I am your tool Zabuza sama, I will protect you with my life."
