Chapter 58

'' You can take care of those two, '' Naruto said to Kakashi, while referring to the demon brothers.

'' What about Zabuza? '' Kakashi asked.

'' He's mine. ''

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'' Where are you going Inari ? '' Tsunami asked in a worried voice. Her son was dressed for war, with a steel pot as a helmet and armed with a crossbow.

'' If no one is going to protect this country, then I will. '' Inari said as he wore his sandals.

'' Don't be ridiculous, you are not going to the bridge all by yourself. '' Tsunami said.

She knew that the bridge was dangerous, and letting him go alone is not a wise move.

'' I have to go myself because none of the others will come with me... I have no choice.''

After Naruto saved him, he knew what he was supposed to do. Waiting for miracles will not help, one must create these miracles. But he could not do this alone. So he went all around the village asking for help.

He knocked each and every door, but none was willing to help him.

Everyone, was scared. They could not bring up the courage to face the swine known as Gato. Most importantly, they fear death.

Despite that, Inari was determined to go to the bridge even if the results was his death, he could proudly tell his father, that he was not a coward and he will do anything to protect what he loves.

'' You shouldn't go at all. '' Tsunami tried to persuade her son.

But Inari gave no reply, he simply took his crossbow and walked to the door.

'' Stop this you are only a child, what could you possibly do? '' Tsunami said.

'' Yes I am just a child. '' He said as he turned to his mother with a grin on his face. '' But I am a child who knows what needs to be done... I'm my father's child and I will make him proud. ''

For an instant, Tsunami could see her late husband's face on Inari.

As he exited the door, he was greeted with something that made him smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at the bridge Naruto was fighting Zabuza with everything he got. But this wounded Demon was not willing to quit.

Like an cornered animal, Zabuza was baring his fangs and not backing down to a fight.

'' Man this bastard is tenacious. '' Naruto spat in annoyance. Naruto no matter how much effort he put in his ridiculously powerful sword swings, Zabuza always had ways to counter it. Currently he had a large slash wound on his chest. ' I got careless. But he got some good skills with the sword. '

Zabuza was very exhausted, he with great skill managed to survive Naruto's attack and he even managed to retaliate with a large wound on Naruto's chest.

But then the wound on Naruto's chest began to heal it self at an inhuman rate, till it became just a large scar.

' No matter how much I try, this monster will just heal himself. What should I Do? ' Zabuza was out of options.

'' You have great skills with the sword. '' Naruto praised Zabuza.

'' And you got some monstrous strength in those swing of yours. '' Zabuza praised back. '' Too bad you have no skills with that sword of yours. You know only how to swing it, but I... know to use mine to its full potential. ''

'' I can fight you for as long as I wish and still not get tired, but can you ? what will you do now? '' Naruto chuckled darkly.

Zabuza had already realised that Naruto, in addition to his monstrous strength and high pain tolerance, he also has an Endurance that would help him to fight for a long long time and still not get tired.

Naruto was born with stamina that outclassed everyone, and with the hellish training he had endured for the past decade, his stamina was already at a level that people could not imagine.

' A monster? no, he was a demon born for combat. '

Naruto was faced with a huge problem now... His Aura levels were low. He could no longer maintain his aura armour, unless if he wanted to die.

So he turned his arms and feet back to their original form.

' Looks like he can't maintain those for too long. ' Zabuza thought.

Zabuza was was beyond exhausted, he could barely hold his sword, his hands were numb from all the blows he endured. His exhaustion caused him to be unable to block Naruto's attack and was kicked to the face, which sent him to the ground. Naruto then stomp Zabuza on his chest causing him to cough blood.

Zabuza looked up to see Naruto with his sword raised to finish him off.

' Looks like my time is up. ' Zabuza gave up, he could no longer fight Naruto. He challenged this demon in a battle of attrition, and he lost. With a sigh, he stopped the thick mist he was maintaining and the surrounding mist was becoming thinner and thinner by the second.

Naruto was about to stabbed Zabuza, the same way he stabbed him. But he heard someone clapping.

'' Well well, it looks like the demon turned out to be cute one. '' Someone chuckled.

Naruto turned to see, that it was the man who caused all this problems... It was Gato. And behind him stood an army of thugs and hired mercenaries with weapons.

'' Just look at you, acting all high and mighty back then and now look at you... such a disappointment. '' Gato continued. '' Well that makes things much easier for me, as I don't have to pay you anymore. ''

'' What? '' Zabuza realised that he was being cheated, he should have realised sooner that he should have not trusted this swine. His need for money had blinded him, leading himself to this position.

Gato did not stop there, he walked to the unconscious Haku, and glared at her. '' This bitch, looks like you got what you deserve for breaking my arm. '' He then kicked her on the face with a sadistic smile.

Zabuza growled in anger, but he was too exhausted to even move. He felt so pathetic, that he could not even save her.

'' You know what. '' Naruto said as he took his foot away from Zabuza's chest, '' I have lost interest in killing you. ''

'' But...'' he continued, '' I'm gonna kill him instead. ''

He pointed at Gato.

Naruto took out a medium grade health potion and drank it in one gulp.

All his exhaustion disappeared, his stamina restored and most importantly, his aura was more than half full, which was enough for what ever he was planning to do.

With his creepy smile, he walked slowly towards Gato, his aura armour engulfed both his arms and legs making him look like a demonic entity.

That scared Gato as he took a few steps back due to fear. Not to mention that Naruto was releasing his killing intent.

All of a sudden, Naruto began to sprint towards him.

'' I'm gonna gut you ! You swine! '' Naruto roared.

Gato fled to his hired thugs and mercenaries, '' Protect me! '' He ordered, which they responded with a roar.

Naruto did not stop. This was the man who was responsible for all the shit he had to waste his valuable time in this god forsaken country.

This mission was supposed to be a simple C- ranked mission, but this piece of shit, turned into B- ranked one.

If not for him, he would have already be back in Koniha and could vhave spent his time with Hinata.

But No ! This scum had lengthened this mission for almost three weeks !!!

'' You think you could fight all of us at once... Wha- '' One of thugs said but he was immediately silenced by Naruto as he drove is gaint sword straight through his body impaling him and three others along with him.

'' What the Hell !!! '' One of the thugs said in fear, as they all moved away from him.

Naruto then kicked the thug who was impaled on his sword freeing it.

'' Out of my way!!! '' Naruto continued to rush towards Gato, cleaving through any idiot that was in his way.

Eventually he was through the army of thugs, and was going straight towards Gato.

Gato was terrified at the the sight of Naruto, who was soaked in blood from head to toe.

'' A-a demon! '' He voiced out, but was them grabbed by Naruto from the neck.

'' Please let me go. I will pay you as much as you want. '' He begged.

'' What ? I didn't hear you ! '' Naruto mocked him.

'' Please let me ack! '' Naruto squeezed his neck not letting him speak.

'' Come on man, you got to try better than that. I can't understand what the fuck you're trying to say. ''

But Gato could not utter any words as his throat was squeezed.

Naruto lifted him up to the air and calmly walked back towards Zabuza. Kakashi and the demon brothers, had also stopped fighting. one of the demon brothers were helping Zabuza to stand up while the other was carrying Haku in bridal style.

The thugs that Gato had hired, did not stop Naruto. They had experienced first hand, how brutal Naruto could get if they get in his way.

They all looked at him with fear, but Gato will not let him have his way.

'' Save me all of you! '' he cried, '' I will pay you all as much as you want ! ''

They were all scared of Naruto, buy their greed for money overcame their fears.

Gripping their weapons tightly, they roared and ran towards Naruto.

As they came closer and closer Naruto tighten his grip on his sword.

As they came closer and closer, an arrow descended and landed between them.

Naruto turned behind to see Inari and the rest of the people of this country armed with whatever weapon they can get their hands.

'' Well will you look at that. '' Naruto smirked. '' That brat...''

'' If anyone dares to attack this country, they will feel our wrath! '' Inari yelled, which was followed by the loud roar of the people behind him.

This country was not that huge, but its population had easily crossed a few hundreds, which was more that enough to deal with the thugs Gato had hired, or more specifically the ones that were still alive after the onslaught caused by Naruto.

The armed thugs were hesitant to save Gato, as they were easily out numbered. Then their worse nightmare came as Naruto had created thirty shadow clones, ready for batle.

They immediately fled for their lives, as it was more important than the money Gato offered them.

Gato looked at his own men in disbelief, they deserted him, all the money he had spent on them... they simply deserted him. They owe him their lives, they should be ready to die for him... they

'' Well, some loyal dogs they turned out to be right. '' Naruto said to him, as he chuckled

'' You can't kill me ! '' Gato screamed at Naruto, '' I have many friends that will hunt you down if you even harmed a single hair on me! you hear me release at once! ''

But Naruto looked at him with an amused face, '' You really are a swine. A swine which is about to butchered. ''

Raising him high in the air, he slammed him to the concrete ground. '' THAT'S FOR GETTING ME IMPALED !!! '' Naruto impaled his sword on Gato's abdomen, then he pulled it out.

'' THAT'S FOR ALMOST DROWNING ME!!! '' He impaled him again.

'' THAT'S FOR WASTING MY FUCKING TIME!!! '' he them impaled him again.

'' THATS FOR CAUSING ALL THIS SHIT!!! '' he impaled him again.

Again and again, he impaled him without mercy, shouting and cursing him, releasing all his hatred upon the already dead man. But Naruto just kept on impaling him.

Everyone who witnessed this were scared and were almost close to wetting their pants.

'' Naruto he's dead. '' Kakashi said as he placed his hand on Naruto's chest.

'' Oh yeah. '' Naruto said awkwardly, '' I think I went too far. ''

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{ Later that evening }

Currently, Naruto and his group were having dinner at Tazuna's house, he was eating without any worry.

'' Man I'm hungry, Tsunami-san! can I have another bowl of rice. '' Naruto said to Tsunami as he extended his empty bowl to her.

'' Ok. '' She said, '' What about you Zabuza-san ? ''

The meal was a very tensed one, as Zabuza and his followers were having dinner with them as well.

'' It's ok I'm already full. '' Zabuza replied.

Tazuna was still scared of Zabuza, you can't really blame the old man. A week ago, he was after his head, and now he was having dinner with him.

'' Why is he here? '' Sasuke asked, '' He tried to kill us. ''

'' Now now Sasuke, don't be rude. '' Kakashi said to Sasuke with a smile, which was hidden by his mask.

'' Like I said before, I have no reason to kill you guys anymore. '' said Zabuza calmly.

'' Lets just enjoy this meal shall we. '' Naruto said as he began to devour his bowl of rice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later at midnight, Zabuza and his followers were at the bridge.

'' We are going to take what belongs to us now. '' Zabuza said to his followers.

'' Yes lord Zabuza. '' They all replied.

They are going to be heading to Gato's camp, where all his hired thugs will be gathered. They will wipe out the camp and take anything valuable with them.

'' Also what do you want you dammed demon. '' Zabuza said to Naruto who was there.

'' Don't worry, I'm not here to cause any mischief. '' said Naruto.

'' What do you want then? '' one of the demon brothers questioned him.

'' Well your leader, still owe me for causing this fucking scar on my gut. '' Naruto pointed at the scar that Zabuza had caused, when he impaled him.

On hearing that, Haku and the demon brothers went to battle mode and was defending Zabuza by standing Infront of him.

'' Tell your dogs to calm down. '' Naruto said to Zabuza with a tone of annoyance. '' Especially this bitch! '' Naruto pointed at Haku.

'' Alright you three calm down. '' Zabuza said to his followers as they hesitantly put their weapons down. '' What do you actually want ? ''

'' Well....''

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the morning, Zabuza and his followers were gone and left no trace.

After that things took a good turn in this country, with the help of Naruto and his clones, the construction of the remaining part of the bridge was finished in two days.

With this, the mission was finished, they have no reason to stay in this country any longer.

'' Thank you brother Naruto, thank you for every thing ! '' Inari thanked Naruto, with tears flowing from his eyes.

'' Yeah yeah what ever.'' Naruto simply shrugged it off, '' Besides what did I even do, to deserve your praise. ''

'' You have brought hope and freedom in this country. '' Tsunami said, '' without you we would have remained as the same as in the past. ''

'' Well honestly, I give a shit about that. '' Naruto words were very rude, but they all know that he didn't want to take any credit for his contribution.

As Naruto and his group left the Land of waves, they people watched them until they could not see them any longer.

'' You know what I think we should name this bridge. '' Tazuna voiced out.

'' How should we name it? ''Tsunami asked.

'' How about- ''

But before Tazuna named this bridge, Inari interrupted. '' The Great Naruto bridge. ''

'' Well that's a nice name actually. ''

And so the bridge was named after Naruto. Or should we say.

'' The Great Naruto bridge. ''

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few days later, Naruto and his group had reached the front gates of the Konoha.

'' It's good to be back. ''
