Chapter 4 Victory and Shockness

Naruto has just arrived at the nick of time when Sasuke was just about to get killed by Haku. "Alright! Now that I'm here, everything will be fine! The main character of a story usually shows up in this of situations and instantly kicks the enemy's ass!" Naruto yelled.

'Geez, that idiot! What kind of loud entrance is that? And he calls himself a ninja?' Kakashi thought.

"See Kakashi-sensei, even Naruto calls himself the main character." Sasuke said.

"WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT HAS TO DO WITH ANYTHING!" Kakashi asked with a comical expression.

Zabuza and Haku were staring at Naruto and in one swift moment they both threw shuriken and senbons at Naruto. "Idiot." he said as he just stood there as the senbons and shuriken clash.

"Haku, what is this?" Zabuza asked.

"Zabuza-sama, these kids… please let me fight them my way." Haku said.

Zabuza stared at Haku for a while. "So you don't want me to interfere Haku?" he asked. "You're as soft as always…"

'Soft?... Him! He was making me suffer because of those freaking crystal ice mirrors!' Sasuke thought.'Well, at least Naruto as outside, we can both attack and he'll won't be able to stay up for long.' Sasuke thought with a smirk before he felt the present of another person and turned only to see Naruto.

"Hey! I came to save you!" Naruto yelled.

"You idiot! If you're a ninja then use your head! Why did you come inside the mirrors! Damn it! I don't care anymore, now I'll die with an idiot like you!" Sasuke yelled.

They didn't hear anything after that but they heard one thing… sniffling?

"Your so mean." Naruto said with a strained voice, everyone sweat dropped.

'That's Naruto… he comes to help but makes things worse.' Kakashi thought.

Naruto finally stopped crying but he claimed that there was something in his eyes, Sasuke had an annoyed look the whole time. Haku finally went to the mirrors and appeared in one of them.

'There!' Sasuke thought.

"Over here." Haku said.

Sasuke turned to see Haku and made some quick hand sign.

"FIRE STYLE: GREAT FIREBALL JUTSU!" Sasuke said he took a deep breath and breathe out a giant fireball.

The fireball hit the mirrors dead on but when the fire vanished, the ice was still there, not even looking slightly melted.

"You can't melt this ice with that level of fire." Haku said. He took out a couple of senbons and hurls it at both of them; Naruto quickly dodged his and went in front of Sasuke, taking the hit.

Everyone was shock until Naruto went away in smoke. Now everyone was even more shock.

"I knew it." Naruto said, they turned to the real Naruto who had a serious face (I'm not going to make Naruto serious in this fic). "Those mirrors are dangerous, I go in and I'm a goner." Naruto said. They all waited for his next decision. "Well, see ya Sasuke, try not to die!" Naruto said.

"DAMN YOU!" Sasuke yelled.

Haku took out a senbons and threw at Sasuke but suddenly a puff of smoke appeared in front of the senbons and the senbons lost its momentum. "Huh?" Sasuke turned to see Naruto with his trademark hand sign.

"Listen Haku, if anyone is going to defeat Sasuke, its me." he said and inside the mirrors, dozens of clones appeared.

'How can he make clones all the way over there!'Zabuza asked.

'Nuisance, I need to get rid of this boy.' Haku thought as he threw senbons at Naruto but he simply made clones and took the hit.

"Senbons are useless against me!" Naruto yelled as he made a different hand sign. "WIND STYLE: AIR BULLET!" he blew a gust of wind that hit a mirror and made it to crack slightly.

"Why you…" Haku appeared behind Naruto and tried to slash him but Naruto jumped back and Haku kept trying and Naruto kept jumping back until he bump into someone.

"Oh, so…rry." Naruto was absolutely shock, he was looking at Sasuke's face and that only meant one thing. "DAMN IT! I'M IN THE JUTSU TOO!" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Idiot!" Sasuke yelled.

"Shut up! I'm trying to think." Naruto said in a thinking pose.

"Heh, you? Try to think!" Sasuke asked.

Naruto gave him a disappointed look. "You know Sasuke, if you were slightly more nicer, guys might actually start to hang around you, you know, not just the girls." Naruto said with a smirk.

"Shut up, how do we get out?" Sasuke asked.

"I thought me thinking was a huge shocker?" Naruto asked.

"You know Naruto, if you just stop living in the past…" Sasuke was saying.

"You two, quit it! You need to find a way to get out!" Kakashi said.

"What about you sensei? Why can't you get us out?" Naruto asked.

"Because, I can't go otherwise Zabuza will kill Sakura and Tazuna, and if I make a clone, Zabuza will make a water clone and disperse my clone, which will waste chakra." Kakashi explained.

Naruto and Sasuke stayed quiet for a while. "You know Kakashi-sensei, if you were just more simple-minded…" Naruto and Sasuke started.

"JUST TRY TO GET OUT!" Kakashi yelled with a comical expression.

"Bah!" Naruto made the clones charge at Haku as he quickly transport from mirrors to mirrors and before anyone knew what was happening, all the clones vanished. "No way…" Naruto whispered with a bewildered face. "I didn't… I didn't even see him." he said. "What's up with your jutsu?"

"This jutsu uses the mirror's reflection to transport me. From my point of view, you seem to be moving in slow-mo." Haku explained.

'I knew it!' Kakashi thought. "For that kid to master a jutsu like that…" Kakashi said. Zabuza chuckled.

"Justu like that?" Sakura asked.

"An advance bloodline!" Kakashi said dramatically, ominous music play in the background, no one seems to know where that coming from, except Naruto who had a violin.

"Naruto, where you got the violin?" Sasuke asked.

"Excellent question my friend." Naruto said and tossed the violin away.

"Any who, a bloodline is a deep blood lineage… superior genealogy. It's a jutsu passed down by your ancestors." Kakashi explained.

"T-then…" Sakura stuttered.

"Yeah, you could compare it to my sharingan. Even I couldn't copy it. It's impossible to defeat." Kakashi said.

"So Naruto and Sasuke-kun is going to die!" Sakura asked.

"No no, you're not giving them enough credit." Kakashi said.

"Ugh, I can't die here. I have a dream to fulfill." Naruto said.

"Dream…" Haku whispered, Naruto and Sasuke were slightly confused. "Becoming a shinobi is difficult for me… if possible I don't want to kill you. Nor do I want you to kill me. But if you come at me, I can destroy my kind heart with a blade and become a true shinobi." he said, Naruto and Sasuke were listening intentionally. "This bridge is the place where we fight, to connect to our dreams. Me, for my dream. And you for your dream." he said, his voice visibly sadden. "Please don't hate me. I want to protect someone precious to me. To work for that person. To fight for that person. To make that person's dream come true… That is my dream." everyone was listening to Haku mini speech, even Zabuza looked down in slight shame. SLIGHT shame mind you. "For that, I can become a shinobi and kill you." he finished.

For some unknown reason, Naruto and Sasuke were smirking at him.

"SASUKE-KUN! NARUTO! DON'T LOSE TO THAT GUY!" Sakura yelled.

"No Sakura. Don't egg them on." Kakashi said.

"Huh? What does that mean?" Sakura asked.

"What does what mean?"

"You said 'Don't egg them on' why did you said 'egg them on' what is that supposed to mean?"

"Well…" Kakashi was explaining.

"She's right you know, 'egg them on'? How does that sentence make sense?" Zabuza asked.

"Well…" Kakashi was explaining again.

"They're both right sensei, what do you mean by 'egg them on' don't you mean like 'encourage' or 'Don't get their hopes up' or something along the line but 'egg them on' gets everyone confuse, even Zabuza is confuse, and he's about your age!" surprisingly that was Naruto that said that.

"Yeah ok, don't get their hopes up." Kakashi said with an annoyed face, although you can barely tell with that mask of his.

"Why can't they get their hopes up?" Sakura asked.

"Because, even if they could somehow defeat that technique, they cannot beat that boy." Kakashi said.

Moment of silent. "You know Kakashi-sensei, if you were more encouraging, meaby we would be proud of being your student." Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke said.

'(Sigh) great, I got the most annoying kids.' Kakashi thought.

"Anyway, what do you mean they can't defeat Haku?" Sakura asked.

"Because…" Zabuza started. "They don't have the strength to destroy their hearts and kill another person." Zabuza said. "That young girl, I mean, man…" he corrected himself quickly, luckily no one noticed. "Knows the true pain of being a shinobi. A real shinobi can't be created in a peaceful village like yours because you can't gain the most important thing. The experience of killing." Zabuza explained.

Moment of silent passed through all of them, noting that everything that Zabuza said was true, Sakura was the first to get herself together.

"Then… what can we do sensei!" she asked.

Kakashi's didn't say anything, his hand twitching slightly. "Sorry but… I'm going to end this instantly." he said with his hand on the headband.

"Hehe, sharingan again? Is that the only thing you can do?' Zabuza asked.

"Well, it's not like I got anything else to offer to you." Kakashi said. He was suddenly surprised when Zabuza charged at him with a kunai; Kakashi quickly blocked it with his right hand. "You asked if it's all I can do, but you are afraid of the sharingan… Zabuza…" Kakashi said.

"Hehe, a shinobi's supreme technique is not something that should be shown to the opponent over and over." Zabuza pointed out.

"You should feel honored. You're the only person to see it twice. And there won't be a third time." Kakashi said.

"Heh, even if you defeat me, you can't win against Haku." Zabuza said.

'What?' Sakura thought, surprised.

"Ever since he was a little kid, I taught him all kinds of fighting skills. Even facing the greatest adversity. He has succeeded. Without a heart nor fear of death. A fighting machine known as a shinobi. And his jutsu surpass even mine, the terrifying ability of an advanced bloodline. I gained a high quality tool for myself. Unlike the scrap that follow you around." Zabuza finished his long explanation of Haku's abilities.

Kakashi sigh boringly and raised his headband, revealing his sharingan. "There's nothing as boring as a man's bragging… let's get this started!" he said.

"Hold on for a sec. I'll use your own words and brag about one more thing. The last time you said this to me…" Zabuza started. Kakashi, Sakura and Tazuna looked confused. "'I'll tell you this, the same jutsu won't work on me.' wasn't it?" he asked, Kakashi looked more confuse than ever. "I have already seen through the trivial system of that eye. In the previous fight, I wasn't just getting beat like an idiot. I had Haku hiding in the background examining every aspect. Haku is also bright, by seeing a jutsu once, he can usually come up with a way to defeat it." he said.

"Are you done, hearing you talk is the most boring thing ever, I literally fell asleep twice. You would've notice if you weren't so focused in bragging about your skills and Haku's," Kakashi said.

"Grrr, why you little…" Zabuza said. "NINJA ART: HIDDEN MIST JUTSU!" the mist around Kakashi and Zabuza thickens as Zabuza fades away.

Naruto and Sasuke doesn't seem to be able to take a break as Haku continuously attacks them with no pause.

'Damn, what do I do, I can't see him, and I'm starting to fade because of this senbons, what to do, what to do!'Naruto thought.

"Naruto, got anything?' Sasuke asked.

"Wow, this is the first time you ask me for anything… tell me, are you in some kind of drugs or something?" Naruto asked.

"LOOK! THE ONLY REASON I'M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP IS BECAUSE I GOT NOTHING! COMPRENDES!" Sasuke asked with a comical expression.

"Yeah yeah yeah, you and your nagging ways." Naruto muttered.

"Ok, now I got something, we'll go try to avoid the attack so it doesn't hit any serious spots. We keep this up until he runs out of chakra then we finish him off." Sasuke said, no reply. He turned his head to see Naruto's bored face.

"Is that all? Sounds boring." Naruto said.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY! TO TRY ALL OF OUR JUTSU AND WASTE CHAKRA ON ATTACKS THAT MIGHT NOT WORK!" Sasuke asked.

Naruto smirked at Sasuke, the next thing he knew, Sasuke punched his head. "Dumbass." Sasuke muttered.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Haku draw a senbon. "Sasuke, do you like my drawing of my senbon." he showed him the drawing of his senbon.

"IT'S JUST A FREAKIN STICK! ANYONE CAN DRAW THAT!" Sasuke yelled.

"Oh yeah? Then you draw it." Haku challenged.

Sasuke took out a piece of paper out of nowhere and started drawing. "See?' he showed Haku a terrible drawing of a senbon.

"It's terrible; you barely put any effort into it."

"I doubt you need to put a lot of effort into drawing a simple stick." Sasuke said.

"It's not a 'simple stick', you need time, you need to see every detail of the stick and burn it into your memories, if you can't do that… then all is loss." Haku said dramatically.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Sasuke asked with a sweat dropped.

"Enough of this!" Naruto yelled which is surprising. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" he made a dozen clones.

"Alright, time to get serious." Haku said and drew another senbon… not the paper, the sharp object.

Kakashi and Sakura were looking everywhere for Zabuza. "Sakura, don't leave Tazuna-san's side!" Kakashi commanded.

"Roger!" Sakura said and jumped back.

"No one says that anymore." Kakashi said to himself.

'I got to believe in Naruto-kun, he'll survive, he'll be alive, it's his dream to become hokage, how can you expect him to become one when he's dead?' Sakura thought but part of her couldn't help and be worried for her favorite blond knucklehead.

'Mh, this mist is too thick, I doubt Zabuza can see through this.' Kakashi thought. And suddenly he became alarmed and spun around and deflected dozens of shurikens coming at him.

"Impressive that you blocked those… sharingan Kakashi…" Zabuza said, behind a shocked Kakashi. "But… the next time you see me will be the end of everything." he said.

'His eyes are closed!' thought Kakashi, now looking at Zabuza before he started to fade again.

"You have overrated your sharingan too much." Zabuza said before he completely vanished. The only thing he could hear is his menacing chuckle. "You acted as if you knew everything… but that prediction was wrong." Zabuza said. "Kakashi… you can neither read my mind nor see the future… the sharingan… is simply a trick that makes your opponent think that you can. It's basically an eye jutsu involving hypnotism and an attention for detail. By using those two abilities together, you can progress from copying the body to copying the mind to copying the jutsu. This…" Zabuza was saying.

"Alright fine, I get it!" Kakashi said with crazed eyes. "You know everything about my sharingan, but it won't matter, I still have some tricks up my sleeves and you won't live to figure out how it works." Kakashi said.

"Hehehe… it that so… well then… we just need to prove that fact wrong as well." Zabuza said. Kakashi was waiting patiently until someone suddenly hit him on the side as he skidded back. "Hehehe, how does it feel to be on the other side of the bargain?" Zabuza asked.

'Damn it, I can't seem to be able to predict what he will do. I'm too worried about Sasuke and Naruto; those too can take care of themselves. Now, what will Zabuza go after first?' Kakashi asked himself. 'Oh no!'he turned to where Sakura and Tazuna were and Zabuza appeared behind them.

Sakura and Tazuna saw him but their reaction were too slow. Zabuza raised his giant sword as he was about to strike but Kakashi appeared in the middle. "Too late!" Zabuza yelled.

"KAKASHI-SENSE!" Sakura screamed.

Naruto was lying on the ground, barely holding on to consciousness with several senbons sticking out of his back. Sasuke wasn't doing so hot either, he too was panting heavily with some senbon sticking out of his body and even going through certain body parts like the knee.

'Damn it!' Sasuke thought. 'This is bad, really really bad. Naruto is barely awake, my eyes are just getting use to his movement and to make it worse, the injuries in my body are screaming for me to take a break.'Sasuke listed out. 'Did I leave out anything… no I don't think so' he looked back at Haku who seem to almost reach his peak.

"You done well." Haku said all creepy like. "But this time I'll stop you." he grabbed two senbons and prepared to throw them.

'Here he come, I need to finish this fast, but how!'Sasuke asked himself. Haku threw the senbons and Sasuke quickly grabbed Naruto and jumped out of the way.

'Amazing, he saw it! But how!' He thought amazed. He looked at Sasuke eyes and saw the sharingan with two tomoe. "You are… I see, you also from an advance bloodline." Haku said.

"Just a little bit…" Sasuke admitted. "But I can see!" he said.

"Then I can't fight for much longer… my jutsu uses up a lot of chakra, there's a limit on how long I can keep up this speed." Haku said. "Most likely the longer this fight goes; the better you will be able to read my movements. If your eyes are staring to catch me then…" Haku grabbed two senbons. "THIS IS THE END!" he yelled, charging towards Naruto.

'Wait! What the hell is this!' Sasuke asked as he runs at Naruto. 'Damn it, I don't think I can make it in time!'

Blood spilled on the floor, Kakashi was holding the spot Zabuza just cut.

"Kakashi-sensei." Sakura said worriedly.

"You were too slow Kakashi… did you desire to save these brats, could your mind and make the mist ever thicker?' Zabuza asked. "Even with that impressive eye… your ability to read my movement is dimming. Hehehe let me enjoy this more, Kakashi… I want more fun as I return the flavor." Zabuza said. "Don't worry about the brats; Haku has probably killed them by now. Plus I'm about to send you to the same place as them. You can apologize to them in the next world for lacking the strength to protect them." Zabuza said. He started laughing as Sakura had a horror expression.

'Naruto-kun is… dead… no, he's lying, I haven't even heard Naruto scream… I haven't heard Naruto say anything at all…' Sakura thought as fear overtake her.

Tazuna had a nervous expression. 'If that true, then the boy would probably be coming for us as we speak.'Tazuna said.

Kakashi was looking at Zabuza with a confuse expression. "Wait… what did you say?" Kakashi asked.

Everyone sweat dropped at Kakashi's stupidity. "I said…" Zabuza was saying.

"I don't care what you said; your speeches take so long, it's boring the hell out of me." Kakashi said. "Let's just finish this." he said with a much more serious face.

Zabuza glared at Kakashi. "If that what you wish… then I'll finish this in a blink of an eye." Zabuza said then vanished in the mist.

"He… he vanished again!" Sakura said.

"Sakura stay here! I guess I should end this fight." Kakashi said and started to run away. "Can you hear me Zabuza? You seem to think I survive in this world with only the sharingan. I don't survive just by copying jutsus; I'll show you my own jutsu." Kakashi said.

Naruto was staring at Sasuke in surprise, Haku was on the ground unconscious while Sasuke had several senbons in his body while he spit out some blood.

Naruto had a shock look in his eyes. "What's with that face… you moron." Sasuke said.

"Why… why did you save me…? I would've survived!" Naruto said.

"Heh, survive or not… I don't let… my teammates get hurt." Sasuke said.

"Wha… what are you…" Naruto was trying to ask but his shock got the best of him as Sasuke fell to next to him, Naruto slowly turned to Sasuke's body in fear, hoping he would get up and laugh at his overly cruel joke. But he never did; in fact, it looked like he wasn't breathing at all. He kept looking at him as tears slowly form in his eyes as Haku stood up.

"He landed a blow on me and without flinching… died to protect you. To protect a precious person, knowing it was a trap, he was still able to jump in. He is a ninja that deserve respect." Haku said as he was able to stand straight. "Is this your first death of a friend? This is the way of the shinobi…" Haku walked to his mirror.

"Shut up." Naruto said in a low voice. Haku had a confuse expression, though you couldn't tell because of his mask. "I won't forgive you!" Naruto yelled.

Haku saw the mirrors hissing and slightly turning to steam, he was surprised.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Naruto yelled, his hair getting longer and spikier, he grew fangs and nails as his eyes are crimson red and slitted, his whiskers marks also widen and thickens.

Haku was watching Naruto change for the first time as red chakra surrounds Naruto and swirl around him. 'Wha… what is this… chakra… is must be the…'Haku thought then saw the senbons on Naruto popping off and the holes disappearing the next second. 'Such evil chakra!' Haku thought.

Kakashi immediately stop and looked at the mirrors. 'I feel something bad is going to happen.'Kakashi thought.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" they heard Naruto yelled, Sakura jumped by Naruto's loud scream.

"Was… was that… Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked as she turned to look at the mirrors.

Zabuza became visible as he too stared at the mirrors. "Kakashi, what's wrong with that brat?"

Kakashi frown. "If he's using that…" he let the sentence hang as he ran to the mirrors with Sakura and Tazuna behind, Zabuza followed close behind.

When they were at least ten feet away from the mirrors, they felt a stinging in the air. "Kakashi-sensei, what is this? Wha… what happening to Naruto-kun!" Sakura asked, staring at Naruto through the mirrors.

Kakashi had a look of pure shock in his eyes, Naruto had red chakra swirling around him and at the top was a fox head which resemble a lot like…

"The kyuubi…" Kakashi accidentally said out loud.

"Huh? What does the kyuubi has to do with anything!" Sakura asked.

"What the hell is with this brat! Look!" Zabuza yelled. They all turned to looked at what Zabuza was pointed at, they were watching Naruto heal himself as all of his injuries were rapidly fading as if they weren't even there.

Naruto was glaring at Haku and slowly lower his gaze at Sasuke dead body. Everyone follow Naruto's gaze to Sasuke.

'Sasuke's death? Is that the reason Naruto's acting like this? I need to make sure this doesn't happen again.'Kakashi thought.

Haku prepared himself for anything Naruto might do and quickly threw senbons at Naruto only for him to scream in pure rage.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Sakura screamed, she hugged herself and sunk to her knees.

"Sakura! What's…?" Kakashi was saying.

"That's not Naruto-kun…" Sakura said shakily.

"Sakura…" Kakashi tried to say.

"What happen to Naruto-kun!" she turned and glare at Kakashi. "You know! You mentioned the kyuubi! What does the kyuubi has to do with Naruto-kun! And how does it connect to the way he is acting now!" she asked, Kakashi said nothing. "TELL ME!"

"I… I can't tell you." Kakashi said sadly.

"Tell me now! I deserve to know! I need to protect Naruto-kun!" she yelled, anger building up in her voice.

"Look, we'll settle this later! Right now, we need to snap Naruto out of this state, if we don't, they might be a chance he might kill us all!" Kakashi said.

Sakura froze at that part. 'Kill us all? W-Why?' she asked.

The senbon that Haku threw reflected off Naruto.

'He reflected the senbon with just his chakra.' Haku thought as he charged at Naruto.

Naruto just stood there until the last second where Naruto reacted fast enough to dodge Haku.

"What! That's impossible! Almost no one can keep up with Haku's speed." Zabuza yelled in surprise.

Naruto skidded along the floor.

'Damn! Gotta get to the next mirror!' Haku thought, he quickly ran to a mirror but Naruto grabbed his wrist.'No way!'

"No way!" Everyone yelled, knowing how fast Haku is.

Naruto roar again, more rage put into he's scream. Sakura was getting more terrified as he roars. They were even more surprised when the mirrors started to crack.

"This brat… will prove to be a problem." Zabuza said.

Naruto was still holding Haku's wrist and his grip is getting tighter and tighter as the seconds goes by. "Nhhh… owwwww." he moaned in pain as he started to lose feeling in his whole left arm until he saw Naruto pulled back a fist. 'No!' he thought. "Wait stop! You don't…" he was saying.

"SHUT UP!" Naruto yelled with a demonic voice. "You kill Sasuke, I'll never forgive you!... NEVEEER!" and with that, he quickly close the distance between his fist and Haku's face and he went through his mirrors.

On the bright side, he went to his mirror like he wanted to… just, not in the way he expected.

Everyone was shock that not just that Naruto turned into… that… he also defeated Haku with one simple punch and if that wasn't enough, he broke one of Haku's mirrors which were supposed to be close to impossible to do.

Haku was flying for a few seconds before he finally hit ground, his mirrors started cracking then they broke, the shards turned back to water once they hit the ground.

They didn't think it was possible but Haku slowly, so slowly got up.

Naruto, still seriously pissed at Haku, charged at him.

Some parts of Haku's mask starts to fall. "I can't… defeat this boy…" Haku whispered to himself. Naruto appeared in front of Haku now. "Zabuza-sama." he finished, the mask completely falling.

Naruto was still going for another punch to the face, but he stopped just inches away from his face.

Everyone was confused on why Naruto stopped so suddenly. "You're…" Naruto said his voice not demonic anymore. "You're that boy…" an image of Haku in a weird girly dress appeared in his head. "From before…"

Haku stared into the fist that was supposed his end his life. "Why did you stop?" he asked in a more feminine voice than usual. "I killed your precious friend, yet you can't kill me?' Haku asked.

Everyone's gaze fell on Sasuke's body as Naruto's anger starts to build up. "Damn it!" Naruto yelled, punching Haku again.

Haku spit out some blood. "What happened to your intensity?" Haku asked. "You can't kill me with that… there are people who make this mistake, not killing their enemy because of pity… letting them leave with just their lives. Can you understand…?" Haku asked, Naruto was just simply staring at him. "Not having a dream… not being needed by anyone… the pain of simply living…" Naruto didn't understand why but he started to feel slightly sad for the boy.

"What are you trying to say?" Naruto asked, barely holding himself from beating the boy.

Despite everything that happened, Haku was able to smile. "Zabuza has no need for a weak shinobi… you have taken my reason for existing." he said, Naruto's eyes widen in shock.

"Why…?" Naruto asked, everyone except Haku and Naruto turned to Zabuza who simply ignored them. "Why for a guy like that! He's a bad guy who takes money from a criminal! Is that eyebrow less jackass the only important person to you!" Naruto asked.

Haku kept his smile as he looked away. "I had people very dear to me… a long time ago… my…" he forced out the word… "…Parent."

Everyone was mildly shock but Naruto seem to be more shock. "I was born in a small snowy village in the country of mist. I was happy… my parents were very kind people…" his smile vanished. "But…" Naruto gulped, preparing himself for the worst. "When I grew up and began to learn the ways of the world… something happened."

"Something… happened?" Naruto asked.

Haku nodded. "This blood…" Haku said, wiping blood from her mouth.

"Blood?" Naruto asked, Haku kept looking at the blood on her hand. "What happened?" Naruto asked.

"My father killed my mother, and then he tried to kill me." Haku said with an emotionless face with an emotionless tone to match it.

Everyone's eyes widen, even Zabuza's who haven't heard this story.

"The country of mist had an endless civil war, and those with advanced blood came to be hated." Haku said.

"Advanced blood?" Naruto asked.

"Bloodline with special ability such as mine." Haku said. "Because of these abilities, clans with such specials bloodlines were used as weapons in countless battles. As a result, these blood clans were blamed for bringing misfortune and war to the country. After the wars, these clans had to hide the truth about their blood, for those whose secret was discovered only death awaited." Haku looked at Sasuke. "That young man also have experience much hardship. Those with special abilities are often feared." Haku looked down. "My mother was from one of these bloodlines. My father discovered this… when I realized what I had done, I had killed him… my own father…" now Naruto was feeling pity for Haku, sure he never met his parent but he never had to kill his dad and see his dad kill his mother. "And after that time… I thought of myself as… no, I had no choice but to think that and I realized the most painful thing…"

"Most painful thing?" Naruto asked.

Haku looked at Naruto with emotionless eyes. "That in this world… I am a person who is unwanted." Haku said.

Naruto's eyes widen. 'Just like me!' Naruto thought in surprise.

"You said to me you wanted to become the best ninja in your village and have everyone acknowledge you. Now if someone who acknowledge you from the bottom of their hearts appeared… wouldn't that someone become the most important person to you?" Haku asked.

Naruto looked down and nodded his head. "Zabuza-sama took me in knowing I was a person of the advance bloodline. This blood that everyone hated… he desired it…" flashes of the first time Haku and Zabuza met flash in his mine, Naruto and the other were shock to see tears on Haku's eyes. "I was so happy!" she said, she turned her head, Naruto turned to her gaze and was surprised to see everyone staring at them.

"Guys…" Naruto said softly, he saw Sakura terrified face and knew that she saw him go all feral like on Haku.

"I'm sorry Zabuza-sama. I was unable to become the weapon you sought…" he said then turns back to Naruto. "Naruto-kun…" he said, Naruto turned back to him. "Please… kill me." he said, everyone had a look of shock in their face.

"W-what! Kill you!" Naruto asked.

"Please hurry up and kill me." he said again, Naruto didn't move. "Why are you hesitating?" he asked.

Naruto had enough. "I DON'T UNDERSTAND! IS BEING STRONG THE ONLY REASON FOR YOU TO BE ALIVE!" Naruto asked. "Look, you don't have to work for the jackass! Tell me! What is your real dream?" Naruto asked.

"My dream is to help Zabuza-sama reach his dream." Haku said bluntly.

"NO! That's not a dream! That's a death wish! Your real dream, tell me your real dream!" Naruto yelled.

Haku frowns. "That is my dream." he said.

"You're lying! That's not your dream, answer truthfully!"

"I am."

"LIAR! Do you take me for a fool! I can tell easily if you're lying, emotionless or not, you're lying, anyone can tell!"

"I'm not lying, my dream is to help Zabuza-sama reach his dream!" Haku said.

"If that's your dream! What will you do once you help him reach his dream!" Naruto asked, Haku's eyes widen. "What! Are you just gonna go and leave! are you going to stay by his side, because as soon as he reaches your dream, he'll tossed you like yesterday garbage and you'll be right where you started when you met him!" Naruto yelled. "What will you do then! Just wait for another bastard to go for your blood and you fulfill his dream too, without any regard about what you really want!"

Haku looked down. "Stop…" he whispered.

"Think about it! You'll be miserable, no friends whatsoever…"

"Stop…"

"They will only see you as a tool, nothing more…"

"Stop…!"

"Your life will be an endless pattern, and sooner or later you'll die and you've nothing to live for!"

"I SAID STOP!" Haku screamed, everyone literally jumped by Haku loud voice.

Naruto was worried he had gone too far; his answer came when Haku glared at him. "Uh, listen Haku, if what I said made you mad, then disregard everything I said." Naruto said slightly nervous.

"No…" Haku said. "Your right…" everyone's eyes widen. "I have no real dream… my dream was to help Zabuza reach his dream, but if that isn't a real dream, then I guess I got no dream." Haku said.

Naruto frowned. "No Haku, you do have a dream, you just don't know it yet. Tell me, what do you want most in the world?" Naruto asked.

"I… I don't know…"

"Yes you do, think about it, you have a dream, you just need to dig deep and find it."

Haku shut his eyes; concentrating but soon he grips his head painfully. "I don't know."

"There you go, lying again, you know!"

"No I don't!"

"Yes you do! What do you want most in the world, you know that, answer me."

"I told you I don't know."

Naruto clenched his fist. "Stop lying!"

"I'm not!"

"Then what's your dream!"

"I don't know!"

"TELL ME!"

"Fine! My dream is to be acknowledged as a human being with REAL emotion, not just an emotionless tool to reach your dream! That's my dream!" Haku yelled, he started breathing heavily until he saw Naruto's smile.

"See? You do have a dream, now all you need to do is leave Zabuza and work to reach your dream, is that simple." Naruto said.

Haku stayed quiet for a while before a smile formed on his mouth. "Thank you… Naruto-kun." he said.

Naruto gave him a thumb up.

"But… aren't you still mad that I kill your friend?" Haku asked.

"Killed my friend? Oh no… his pretty much alive." Naruto said turning back to Sasuke, everyone follow his gaze and was surprised to see Sasuke sitting.

"Argh, god that hurt, you know Haku, when you said you would put me in a near death state, you never said it would be painful as hell!" Sasuke said, he struggle slightly to stand.

"Wait! You guys planned this!" Naruto asked, Haku and Sasuke nodded. "Why didn't you guys tell me anything!"

Moment of silent. "You were idiot and you wouldn't have followed through with the plan." they both said in perfect sync.

"Thanks a lot guys." Naruto said with a sweat dropped.

"Awww, isn't that touching?" they turned to look at Gato. "You all become buddy-buddy in the end, well, I'm not sure about Zabuza but I'm sure I'll need to kill the boy." Gato said.

"If you lay a finger on Haku, I'll rip your arms out of their socket." surprisingly it was Naruto that said that, everyone except Sasuke, Zabuza and Haku looked at Naruto in shock.

"Oh yeah? Then go ahead, try." he said.

"Heh, you know as well as I do that I can't because of those dogs you call humans always protect you." Naruto said in a calm tone.

"Dogs!" a random person yelled.

"Let me at em, let me at em!" another yelled.

"Alright, got ahead and have your fun." Gato said as they all charged at him.

"Heh, weak." Naruto said with a confident grin as he made a hand sign. "SHADOW CLONE…" Naruto suddenly stopped as he vision becomes blurry. "Damn it, not… now…" Naruto felt to the ground.

"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled as he struggle to get to Naruto.

"What happened to him!" Sakura asked.

Sasuke quickly activated the sharingan (For the record, I'll add more ability to the sharingan if you don't mind), he sighed in relief. "He's not dead, he just used to much chakra." Sasuke explained.

"That's impossible, he didn't use any jutsu when you got knock out." Haku said.

"Then, what's…" Sasuke was asking.

"No time!" Kakashi said as he made quick hand sign. "Zabuza quickly!"

Zabuza did the same hand sign. "WATER STYLE: GIANT VORTEX JUTSU!" they both yelled as water formed around them.

"This is bad." a random guy said before they all turned and started to run away.

Everyone stood in silent as Zabuza and Kakashi cancelled the jutsu, Gato was shock that his man got defeated without them even touching them, only one thing comes to mind… "AH AH AH AH AH!" he screamed as he ran away but Zabuza appeared in front of him.

"Where are you going…? Gato?" Zabuza asked.

"What do you want? Money? Fame? Fortune? Women?" he asked.

"I want nothing to do with you… ever again!" Zabuza said and in one 'clean' sweep, he separated Gato's head from his body and relieves him from his need for breathing.

Zabuza breathe a sigh of relieve. "Well Haku, looks like we got to live our separate lives now." he said with an actual happy tone (Zabuza will still be mean but he will be slightly nicer).

Haku nodded. "It seems so… Zabuza-san." he said with a smile, he turned to Naruto unconscious state. "Will he be alright?" Haku asked.

"He'll be fine, all he needs is some rest… the idiot." Sasuke said, he stood and looked at everyone. "So, what happened while I was 'dead'?" Sasuke asked.

"Oh, you miss Naruto go all feral like and tried to kill Haku and it isn't until Haku's mask fell which he stopped, which reminds me… how did you guys meet?" Zabuza asked.

"Well, I was walking, picking plants to help you recover until I saw Naruto-kun lying on the grass, I woke him up and we had idle chit chat." he explained.

"Mh, what did you talk about?" Zabuza asked.

"Nothing important." Haku said.

"Ugh…" someone groaned, they turned and were surprised that Naruto was able to stand up. Naruto looked at them who were staring back with a shock expression. "What?" he asked.

"How are you standing now? You barely had any chakra." Sasuke said.

Naruto became visibly nervous. "Uh, well you see…" Naruto said but trailed off as he turned to Kakashi wi9th an expression that says 'please help me'.

"Uh, we'll talk about it later, let's try to finish this bridge, ok?" Kakashi said in the best commanding voice he could muster, they all nodded with Naruto giving Kakashi a silent thank you.

(3 weeks later)

Naruto and the others were getting ready to leave with Haku, Zabuza, Inari, and the others saying their good byes.

"Well Kakashi, even though we almost killed each other twice, it was nice meeting you." Zabuza said while holding a hand for Kakashi to take.

"Yep, it wouldn't matter anyway, I would've won." Kakashi said with an eye smile.

"Nope, I don't think so; I had the mist on my side." Zabuza said.

"No, if I wasn't interrupted on being worried for Naruto, you would've been dead." Kakashi said again.

"No I don't think so." Zabuza said.

"Well your wrong." Kakashi said, dropping his smile, sparks came from each other's eyes.

"Hehehe…" Haku giggled all girl like.

Naruto and everyone had a confuse expression.

"See ya Haku; it was slightly nice to meet you… I just wish we meet in different circumstances." Sakura said.

"Me too, Sakura-Chan. See ya Sasuke, nice job playing the plan exactly as you were supposed to." Haku said.

"Heh, was there any doubt I would fail?" Sasuke asked with a knowing smirk.

"No way Sasuke-kun! You would never fail at anything!" Sakura yelled with stars in her eyes.

Haku turned to Naruto. "Thanks for your help Naruto-kun, I owe you a lot." Haku said, raising a hand to shake.

"Nah, you owe me nothing, I'll know when you succeed your dream when I hear about you once I become hokage." Naruto said, shaking Haku's hand.

"Guess… this is goodbye." Haku said with a sadden voice.

"Yeah." Naruto said with the same sadness in his voice, he loosens his grip on Haku's hand but Haku only tightens his grip. "H-Haku?"

Haku closed his eyes tight before he pulled Naruto and did the unexpected. He kissed Naruto!

Everyone's minds except Zabuza started to shatter as all the common sense on the world is shattering before their eyes.

Haku stopped kissing Naruto, Naruto had a huge shock expression before it turned to sadness.

"NO! I ATTRACT DUDES! FIRST SASUKE AND NOW HAKU! WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS WORLD!" Naruto asked with comical tears.

"Uh, did I do something wrong?" Haku asked innocently.

"Uh, you kissed Naruto." Sakura said bluntly while Sasuke is laughing his ass off.

"HAHAHAHAHA! NARUTO YOU HAVE THE WORST LUCK OF ALL, GETTING KISS BY ANOTHER DUDE!" Sasuke laughed.

"Dude? I'm a girl!" Haku yelled.

"Yeah right! If you're a girl, prove it!" Naruto said.

Haku grabbed his shirt and opened it to show a pair of… breast! What going on!

Haku's C-cup going to D-cup bounced free in the air as Naruto has a nosebleed. Sasuke had it the worst, since he never saw a part of the woman body he got blown back by a huge nosebleed/

Kakashi was writing every details of Haku's breast in a small notebook he got out of nowhere.

"See? I am a girl." Haku said as she started to close her shirt.

"Wait! Not yet Haku, just give a little time to finish writing the final details!" Kakashi said as he took a closer look at Haku's breast, Haku blushed because of Kakashi being close to her breast and without warning. Kakashi squeeze her breast, Haku's face because red as a tomato, everyone's face was red except Zabuza who was griping his sword and was preparing himself if Kakashi do anything more perverted.

Kakashi nodded as he wrote again in his notebook. "… and they are soft. There, finished." Kakashi said, putting the notebook away. "Alright team, let's go back." Kakashi said, he receive a chorus of 'Hai' as he turned and wave at them again before he started walking with his team.

"Bye Naruto-kun!" Haku called.

"Bye Haku-Chan!" Naruto called back, Haku blushed as Sakura glared at both of them.

'If that bitch thinks she can get Naruto-kun with a simple kiss, then she's mistaking! Shannaro!' Inner Sakura yelled.

They been walking for thirty minutes before Naruto sigh. Everyone turned back.

"What's wrong Naruto-san?" Kakashi asked, Naruto simply ducked as they saw a blade spinning towards them.

"DUCK!" Kakashi yelled as they all barely manage to keep their heads. Zabuza appeared on the blade.

"Yo." Zabuza said all cool like.

"Zabuza! Why, why, why did you did you give me a haircut!" Kakashi asked, everyone sweat dropped.

"Naruto-kun!" Haku yelled as she hugged Naruto tightly from the back. Her breast pressing themselves to his back.

"H-h-hi Haku-Chan." Naruto said.

Haku kissed Naruto's cheek. "Did you miss me?" she asked.

Naruto became more nervous as everyone had different expression in their faces.

Kakashi for some reason was, once again, writing on his small notebook.

Sasuke was giving Naruto two thumbs up.

Sakura was glaring at Haku while Zabuza glared at Naruto and reached for a kunai.

"Well it's hard to get you out of my head when we just left thirty minutes ago and you showed me your, ahem… breasts." Naruto said.

"Want to see them again?" Haku asked, ready to strip for Naruto.

"NO!" Naruto accidently yelled.

"W-why?" Haku asked, disappointed.

"Haku, listen to the book… Kakashi, Haku was bothering me on how come she wants to go to the leaf village with your guys and be with her 'precious Naruto-kun'." Zabuza said.

"Oh… really?" Kakashi asked while staring at Haku.

"Yes, and she said she would kill me with the ice mirrors if I decline so you see why we're here." Zabuza said.

"Yeah, I understand why Haku is here, but why are you here?" Kakashi asked.

Everyone turned to Zabuza expecting at good answer but the only thing he did was point at Naruto.

"Me?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, I want to make sure Haku doesn't get rape by your clones." Zabuza said.

Haku blushed and looked away out of embarrassment. Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura fainted because of the images while Kakashi wrote all of this like his life depends on it.

"This is good! This is really good!" Kakashi said.

"Well come on! I need to go to sleep!" Zabuza said.

"You just woke up." Kakashi said.

"And I need to go to sleep again! Let's go!" Zabuza said in a commanded voice that got everyone running towards the leaf.

Hot damn! You have no idea how much my fingers ache! Well there you have it! Haku got turned into a girl and they both went back with them. Haku primary reason to return with them is because she is going to continuously flirt with Naruto which will make Sakura jealous and work harder to be with him. Zabuza is there to foil Haku's every attempt to get to the bed with Naruto. So now you and yes, Zabuza will also be a closet perv, not a big one but he will act perverted in special occasion.

See ya next time, Sayonara!
