8 Kill whoever see you.

"What's so funny." a kid around 8 years old came through the front door said. "oh inari. come here to granpa. been so long I don't see you." Tazuna said. "Welcome back, grandpa" Inari walk to his grandpa for a hug.

"Inari say hi to the ninja your grandpa hire to protect him" Tsunami said. "Mom. They will die" inari said. "Naruto calm down he is a kid, didn't Kakashi tell you just now to don't rush blindly" I said before Naruto explode. He was fuming silently. "There's no way you win against Gato" inari continue. "inari where are you going again?" Tazuna ask. "I will be watching sea from my room" he said and walk upstairs to his room.

"Sorry about him, since his father gone he lose his hope. Actually all the people on the wave lose hope because of it. Kaiza inari father, is like light of hope to people here. Like your hokage to your village, but we don't have other like him here. Last year Kaiza was executed right in front of everyone by gato, it make everyone lost their hope. The other reason to make this bridge to give people their hope back." Tazuna sadly explain.

Naruto change from fuming to determine look. "Kakashi-sensei I will gather as many and detailed information on Gato. We will take that guy down. And give these people their hope back." Naruto said. "it's good your are determined, but let's start tomorrow. it's dinner time already." Kakashi said. After dinner it's time to rest.

*The next day

I was left with Tsunami and our captive on the house. I lost a goddamn paper rock scissors and get the first shift to stay on the house. I'm bored.

I take out my sketch book start drawing the sea and the sun, then the house with sea and sun. few hour of boring drawing pass by.

Inari come and sit beside me.

"What are you doing?" inari ask.

"I'm drawing kid, it's my hobby."

"Stop calling me kid you're a kid yourself"

"I will stop when you stop acting like one."

"You don't know how I feel."

"Yeah I don't, because unlike you I don't have family left. you still have your mother and grandfather."

"i-i'm Sorry"

"Don't apologize for something not your fault."

"Why are you here and not go to the bridge like the other?"

"Your grandpa make a bridge that will make Gato angry, when a person like Gato angry he will come to your grandpa and that close to him. I'm here to protect those close to him. Like your mother and you."

"You can't win again Gato, my father was a hero and he still dead." inari said with teary eye.

"hero is not a person, hero is what you believe in. If you believe in yourself, that mean your are hero to yourself. Your father, many people believe in him that's why he was a hero to many people. But the burden of being a hero is to have the courage and the power. He has the courage but lack the power."

"i--i don't know"

"don't know what?"

"I don't know if I can believe in myself. I'm afraid."

"When I first lost everything, I feel empty then the memories come flowing. The memories of everyone. I become sad, and lose the will to live."

"How you can forget it?"

"That the secret you can't" 'unless you stuck in the darkness for so long or getting brainw-I mean consoling from yamanaka.'

"what that supposed to mean?"

"It mean you will always remember the one you lose, but you gotta do your best to live so they didn't become sad in the pure world."

"I see"

"So did you have hobby kid?"

"....

...."

We talk until the sun set. Everyone came back from the bridge building. Naruto tell how it was going there. Gato send some thug to disturb the building but Naruto beat the down easily. Naruto send his henge bunshin around to gather information. He even infiltrate Gato mansion and make a comprehensive map about it. This guy is scary when he want to hide away.

Sakura being Sakura staying behind looking out for Tazuna. Kakashi hide in the dark while reading his icha-icha, Naruto say he can hear his laughter without him being around.

Two days later.

Yesterday yet another boring day. I watch the bridge with Kakashi hiding somewhere. Sakura become Naruto leash holder. Stoping him from being angry at inari. The thug didn't come for the bridge yesterday but to the house when I'm not around. And Naruto beat them up like it's was normal.

But today is different. The bridge is already half finished and Gato send hundred of people to the bridge. And he send half as many to the house. This is gonna be fun.

Is what I think. But everyone of them is weak and every hit I did, make them lost consciousness. That really anticlimactic. But Naruto hype it up whenever he beat the thug that come.

When everything settled and the bridge group come back. we ready to do assassination. At first I wonder why Gato doesn't send other ninja. it was because other village doesn't accept blatantly evil mission where every one can see and use it as leverage. He did try hiring other missing ninja. But it's seem we capturing A-Rank Shinobi Zabuza become a good deterrent for them to accept mission.

After sending nearly two hundred thug I think he lost many resources. but how wrong I'm. Kakashi come with info of how many Gato has thug. It was thousand or more thug. what we fought just a little of it. Must be good to have spare chakra for kage bunshin, he can enjoy icha-icha while gathering information. If I use Kage bunshin I will lose half my chakra and will be weaker when enemy come, I don't want it to happen just in case something go wrong.

Then In the Middle of the night Kakashi brief us about the layout, how many guard and their placement. ".... You all understand?" "Yes kakashi-sensei I have infiltrate that place my self." Naruto confidently said. "Kill whoever see you inside don't leave a trace of us being there." Kakashi make his point known. ""Hai Sensei."" we all say.

"This is no more a C-Rank escort mission, this is a B-Rank assassination mission just with C-Rank mission payment." Kakashi jokingly said with his eye smile.
