Chapter 79: Chapter - 79
Zabuza only smirks
"I still got a lot left in the tank gaki!" Zabuza says as his clones charged at him. Taking one side of Naruto they corner him, both Zabuza's come down with a fierce swing.
Naruto stood there with his eyes close smirking. This bothered Zabuza wasn't he going to do something?
Finally the his swords connect and he was shocked to see he stabbed Naruto. As he was about to celebrate getting a hit, he see's Naruto's form fade away and his clone burst into a puddle of water.
He then feels a cold, sharp piece of steel on his neck.
"Too slow Zabuza-san, now forfeit" Naruto says. Zabuza looked shock.
"An afterimage? His speed is amazing" He thought. Seeing that he was on his last legs and he was in no position to strike he sighs.
"Fine gaki you win" He says. Naruto sheathes Kyoka.
Team 7 and 8 come near Naruto reluctantly, picking up on their body language he speaks.
"Don't worry about Zabuza-san. He wont be attacking Tazuna anymore.
We have come to an agreement. "
With that everyone starts to relax and Haku jumped down near Zabuza. Suddenly he was jumped by Kurenai hugging him tightly.
Naruto only chuckles and hugs her back.
"Why hello to you to Kurenai-chan. You miss me?" Naruto says.
Kurenai nods her head as she buried her head in him. Hinata on the other hand glares at her sensei since she wanted to hug Naruto too.
As Kurenai got off he looks at Hinata and nods his head towards him.
She lunges at him also hugging him tightly, she blushes at the feeling of the bodies close to each other. She lets go and Naruto turns his attention to Zabuza and Haku.
Haku felt somewhat jealous inside watching them hug Naruto.
"Why am I feeling like this? I barely know him" Haku thought. As Naruto was about to speak to them Kakashi speaks up
"So Naruto what are we going to do about Zabuza since he isn't our enemy anymore?" Naruto looks at Zabuza.
"Well he will be going to back to Kirigakure" Naruto says. Zabuza widens his eyes and shouts
"I cant go back to Kiri! They will kill me! In plus there is still the war going on" Zabuza says. Naruto only chuckles.
"Zabuza-san, the war has ended and there is a new Mizukage. Her name is Mei Terumi.
She is a good leader and I'm sure she would welcome you back. If not tell her I sent you.
" Naruto says. Zabuza looks at him in shock.
"H-How did it end?" Zabuza says. Naruto smirks "Well I ended it of course" He says.
Zabuza looks at him in disbelief and then smirks.
"Why am I not surprised?" Zabuza says. He then turns to Haku.
"Haku what do you think? Should we go back?" Zabuza says. "I would like that Zabuza-sama.
" She says. Zabuza nods.
Naruto them motions Zabuza and Haku to walk forward away from Team 7 and 8. Zabuza speaks first.
"So how I am going to keep in contact with you gaki?" He says quietly. Naruto says back in low tone "I want you and Haku-chan to escort Mei-chan to the Chunnin exams this year.
It's going to be held in Konoha. Once your there I will give you further instruction" Naruto says.
Zabuza and Haku nod and walk back to the team. As Kakashi was about to ask what they talked about they see a short man with a couple hundred of thugs behind him.
"So Zabuza it seems you were worthless. I wasted my money on you.
I will take care of this myself. Any of you that can get Zabuza's head will earn a bonus.
Oh and capture the ladies over there, they might be useful to us. " Gato says to the thugs.
The thugs begin to charge.
Kakashi eyes him "Who is he" He says.
"That is Gato. The man that hired us to kill Tazuna.
It seems hes here to kill us" Zabuza says as he clutches his Kubikiribōchō, while Haku has a few senbon in her hand and Kakashi taking out a kunai along with Kurenai who looked at him with disgust at what he said.
As they were about to lunge forward Naruto steps out and puts his hand in front of them. He raises his spiritual pressure freezing all of the thugs including Gato.
"You dare threaten capture of my girlfriends? How foolish, you will all die today" Naruto says. He puts his hand on the hilt of his sword and whispers.
'Hitotsume: Nadegiri (The First: Killing Stroke)' Naruto unsheathes his sword, swinging then sheathes it back. Many of the thugs looked confused at what he just did, along with Zabuza, Haku, Kakashi and Kurenai.
Suddenly they see blood spurring everywhere.
Kakashi and Kurenai were looking ill at the scene. Zabuza had stars in his eyes while Haku and the rest of the gennin's were on the verge of throwing up, witnessing some much blood and body parts.
The body parts of all of the thugs were cleaning sliced off. One by one, arms, legs and heads were being lopped off.
All of the thugs that showed up dropped dead without realizing what even happened.
Naruto slowly walked his way up to Gato. Gato began shaking in fear at what he just witnessed.
Naruto came at him slowly with his sword. "W-What are you?" Gato asks.
Naruto says nothing and slices his throat ending his life.
Walking back he see's Zabuza look at him in awe. "You have to teach me that" He says.
Naruto only laughs. "Come one lets go.
" Naruto says as they walked back to tell the citizens of wave what transpired
Few Days Later
After cleaning the mess on the bridge. The word has been spread that Gato has died thanks to Naruto and the rest of the ninjas.
Wave celebrated with the rest of the ninjas. Completing the bridge, Tazuna decided to name it "The Great Naruto Bridge" For what he did for Wave.
Seeing that their mission was complete they headed. Zabuza and Haku head off for Kirigakure while Team 7 and 8 headed back to Konoha.
