Wave mission II and Return

As Tsunami felt grateful to Naruto, she looked at him sleeping soundly. The next day, the same village kid approached them, looking scared and asking if they were going to die because of Gato. Naruto, who had just woken up, looked at the kid and said, "Hey, little guy, look at me. Gato doesn't scare me at all. I've seen worse, trust me. When Gato sees me, that'll be his worst nightmare ever. Don't worry, I'll gift his head to you," he said with an innocent smile that made everyone sweatdrop.

Naruto's personality was unique; his mood swings were notorious. One moment he could be furious, and the next, the most cheerful person in the world, making him hard to figure out. 

Cutting back to their training, Kakashi explained the concept of chakra control. Naruto effortlessly walked up the tree and then over the water, with Ino following suit. Sasuke, watching them, tried as well but struggled. Determined not to be outdone by Naruto and Ino, Sasuke worked tirelessly. As an elite Uchiha, he couldn't accept being surpassed by Uzumaki and Yamanaka. After intense practice, he finally mastered tree walking.

Days passed, and the time arrived for Sasuke to learn a new jutsu, something he'd long awaited. Kakashi taught him the Fire Phoenix Jutsu, also known as Phoenix Flower Jutsu, which involved launching multiple small fireballs at the enemy. Sasuke was thrilled, believing this jutsu would help him surpass Naruto and eventually defeat his brother.(as if)

The day of the final confrontation with Zabuza arrived. As Zabuza appeared on the bridge, he unsheathed his sword and charged towards Naruto, using his Hidden Mist Jutsu. However, Naruto vanished into the mist, leaving Zabuza unable to locate him. "What the hell? I am the master of the Hidden Mist, I should be able to sense everyone. Why can't I sense that brat?" Zabuza muttered, frustrated.

Meanwhile, Haku engaged Sasuke in battle. Ino, using her shadow clones, focused on protecting Tazuna. Naruto remained out of sight, prompting Kakashi to step in. "Alright, I'll take you on," Kakashi declared.

Zabuza smirked, "Kakashi of the Sharingan, you're a worthy opponent. Let's begin."

Zabuza and Kakashi clashed fiercely, swords and jutsu colliding in a dance of lethal precision. 

Sasuke, fending off Haku's relentless attacks, shouted, "Ino, stay with Tazuna! I'll handle this!" 

Ino nodded, maintaining her protective stance. "Be careful, Sasuke!" she called out.

Sasuke's eyes gleamed with determination. "Haku, I won't let you win," he declared, launching a series of fireballs with his new jutsu. "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"

Haku deftly dodged the small fireballs, countering with a barrage of senbon. Sasuke, now adept with his 1 tomoe Sharingan, saw through the attack and evaded skillfully. Their fight intensified.

Kakashi, meanwhile, fought Zabuza with all his might. "You've improved since our last encounter," Kakashi said, parrying Zabuza's sword strike with his kunai.

"Same to you, Kakashi," Zabuza replied, pushing back. "But it won't be enough."

As the mist thickened, obscuring vision, Naruto's voice echoed through it. "You think you can hide from me in your own jutsu, Zabuza? Think again!"

Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind blew through the mist, dispersing it. Naruto stood at the edge of the bridge, his eyes locked onto Zabuza. "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

Zabuza, caught off guard, was pushed back by the sheer force of Naruto's jutsu. "This kid... he's too strong," Zabuza thought, gritting his teeth.

Naruto smirked, "Ready for round two, Zabuza?"

Naruto paused and turned back to Zabuza, who was still processing everything that had just happened. "It's a lot to think about, I know," Naruto continued. "But the First Hokage believed in giving people second chances, and so does our current Hokage. If you come to the Hidden Leaf Village, you'll have a fresh start."

Naruto's words hung in the air as Zabuza and Haku pondered the offer. "Consider it," Naruto said, turning to leave. "It's better than running forever."

Kakashi, still puzzled, caught up to Naruto. "Naruto, I didn't know such a law existed. How did you find out about it?"

Naruto shrugged nonchalantly. "I've spent a lot of time in the library, Kakashi-sensei. There's a lot to learn if you know where to look."

Kakashi nodded, though his curiosity was far from satisfied. "And those jutsus you used... the hand signs, the lightning fox. Where did you learn them?"

Naruto's expression turned serious. "I've been training hard, with someone who sees my potential. That's all I can say right now."

kakashi, surprised by Naruto's knowledge, asked, "Naruto, how do you know about this law created by the First Hokage? I've never heard of it."

Naruto smirked. "It's amazing what you can learn when you spend your time wisely, Kakashi-sensei."

Sasuke, irritated, demanded, "What kind of jutsu was that, dobe?"

Naruto's expression turned cold. In a flash, he disappeared and reappeared behind Sasuke, holding a kunai to his neck. "Call me a dobe again, Uchiha, and I'll make sure your clan becomes extinct permanently."

Sasuke gulped, his pride wounded and fear evident in his eyes. Naruto pulled back, still glaring at Sasuke. "That's better," he said, vanishing again to his previous spot.

Sasuke, seething with anger and humiliation, barked, "Teach me that jutsu right now! I demand it!"

Naruto laughed dismissively. "Go to hell, Sasuke. I'm not teaching you anything. Even if I did, you'd be dead ten times over trying to master it. You don't have the chakra control or reserves for it. So, get lost."

Sasuke's face turned red with rage, the humiliation burning deep within him. He clenched his fists, promising himself that he would surpass Naruto one day, no matter what it took.

Back in the Hidden Leaf Village, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, greeted them warmly. "Welcome back, Team 7. I hear your mission was a success and that you brought back some unexpected allies."

Naruto stepped forward. "Hokage-sama, Zabuza and Haku want to seek asylum here. They can be valuable allies if given a chance."

Hiruzen nodded thoughtfully. "Very well. Zabuza, Haku, you will be given shelter and a chance to prove your loyalty to our village."

Zabuza and Haku bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Hokage-sama," Zabuza said.

Hiruzen smiled. "Now, everyone, get some rest. The Chunin Exams are approaching, and you'll need to be at your best."
