Wave Mission Part 1

Anko, Naruko, and Gaara were making great time on catching up with team 7 mainly because they were moving at Jounin speed instead of civilian speed. It didn't take long for them to see the demon brothers chained up to one of the trees off the main pathway, when they got to them they saw that they were only unconscious so Naruko quickly applied a chakra suppressant and paralysis seal to them both and then made two shadow clones to carry them back to the T&I department to see what information they could get out of them.

They quickly got back to catching up with team 7. When they finally caught back up with team 7 they saw Sai and Sakura guarding what seemed to be the client but you could see Sakura was shaking based on the kunai in her hand. While Sasuke was out further ahead and was also scared it seems since he wasn't moving and was shaking for some reason on the spot. As for their sensei he somehow got caught in a water prison jutsu based on what Naruko was seeing since she was the expert on water jutsu.

The three suddenly appear on the water in between Zabuza and the others "So it seems that backup has finally arrived for you ah Kakashi." Zabuza said with a smug tone in his voice.

"My, my Kakashi you must really be slipping if you got caught in something like that huh." Anko said not even acknowledging Zabuza, something that made the man's face twitch. "Would you like us to help you get free or you got it?" Anko asked

With what little air that he had left "Anko please would you help me out here, there is still so much reading I need to do in my life." Kakashi joked since he knew that with Anko here with two jinchuriki he would be able to survive this ordeal.

"Oh you poor pervert, well since you asked oh so nicely. Naruko kindly help the poor man out." Naruko then stepped forward "Ha you think a little brat like that could take me on the demon of the hidden mist please." Zabuza said with clear disdain in his voice, thinking that Naruko is much like the other kids he just fought not long ago, them being completely useless.

"Listen here 'Demon of the hidden mist'*doing air quotes* you don't know what a true demon is but I'm more than willing to show you." Naruko then without using any hand signs uses a water chain jutsu and creates over 3 dozen water chains but she puts her own twist on the jutsu and hand spikes on the tips with barbs all over the chain itself, something that would rend the flesh if they hit you.

Zabuza seeing this jutsu cast without any hand signs knew right away that he was dealing with someone that was a master in water jutsu and this slightly worried him because while he is an expert in water jutsu he focuses more on his kenjutsu then ninjutsu and being over a body of water he was going to clearly be at a disadvantage somewhat. 'Maybe I should retreat and try to take out the bridge builder another time. While I do have Haku, Rikki, and Fuka as backup something is telling me fighting now will put me at a severe disadvantage.' Zabuza thought while he tensed his muscles ready to move at a moment's notice.

While slowly walking toward Zabuza and Kakashi "Please don't disappoint me, I've been rather bored lately and you're going to be my outlet to relieve my boredom so try not to die to quickly kay." Naruko then waved her arm and all of the water chains rushed toward Zabuza making his tsk at seeing this scene and he knew that he had to let Kakashi go or become swiss cheese something he didn't want for obvious reasons.

Canceling his water prison jutsu and jumping back he pulled his Kubikiri Bōchō from his back and cut any water chains he could dodge but the thing that irradiated him was that they would quickly reform and keep chasing him over the water.

While Zabuza was busy dodging the water chains, Naruko stood next to Kakashi and helped him stand "Well you look like shit." She laughed after saying that making Kakashi give her a deadpan look but he chose not to respond and just stood up with her help. "Well why don't you go over there and help emo boy and the little pink banshee, they look ready to past out at any moment. Me and my team will handle Zabuza for you since clearly he's too much for you." Kakashi didn't say anything and just gave her an eye smile and then went off to this team.

While he was making his way over to his team he was deep in thought 'Just how strong are you really Naruko, I finally get a chance to see for myself. I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you as a child.'

"Gar-kun be a dear and protect the client and I guess team 7 especially the little emo he is a valuable resource of the village after all. But if you have to choose who to protect for some reason make sure you protect the client, I'd like to keep my perfect record after all." Naruko then created even more water chains and sent them after Zabuza as she ran toward him.

Back with team 7, Anko, and Gaara "So this is fun huh." Anko said trying to break the ice, not even bothered that Naruko is fighting an elite jounin right now. "Snake lady, are you not worried about whiskers over there?" Sai asked but everyone just gave him weird looks for the nicknames that he assigned to Anko and Naruko but they were used to it since he also had weird nicknames for them. "Brat the name is Anko Mitarashi. Call me snake lady again and I promise you, you won't like what happens next." Anko then licked a Kunai she pulled out giving him a scary look. Everyone took a step back except Kakashi and Gaara who were used to Anko's antics and also Sai since he didn't have emotions due to his root training.

"Anko-san shouldn't we go help Naruko?" Sakura asked with a stutter in her voice this made Anko laugh. "Na brat truth be told Naruko is stronger than me in most aspects so I have nothing to worry about and if some miracle she is put in a bad position little Gar-kun here would come to her rescue isn't that right Gar-kun?" Anko said in sing song like tone.

When everyone heard this they were shocked especially Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi since Anko is a jounin in strength and Naruko is only like 12 and already stronger then her. 'I need to know her secret in how she got so strong. It will help me get my revenge and restore my clan. I am an Uchiha, she should be happy that she can help me with my goals.' were Sasuke thoughts but he wasn't the only one thinking about Naruko and her strength.

'How did that bimbo bitch get so strong all a sudden. Is she trying to seduce my Sasuke-kun from me somehow? NO I would never let her take my Sasuke-kun from me, I'll just have to put her in her place and show my love to Sasuke-kun.' Were Sakura thoughts and sadly for Sakura the moment she confronts Naruko she mostly is going to die or wish she was.

'Sensei your daughter is a prodigy if what Anko is saying is true. Maybe I can use this mission as an excuse to teach her something. Lord knows that I'm going to be forced to teach the Uchiha something after this or he is going to pout and bitch up a storm that I'd rather not deal with.' Kakashi thought.

Shortly afterward Zabuza can be seen flying by them at an incredible speed and rammed right into a thick tree stopping his momentum. When you looked at his body you could see all the small scratches over his body and some shallow wounds on his arms. Standing up right again quickly and glare in the direction of Naruko. "You disappoint me Zabuza, I thought that this would be more fun, I mean I'm not even trying here and you can't handle a simple water chain jutsu truly disappointing."

When Zabuza heard this he almost coughed up blood out of anger. 'What the fuck is this monster talking about, a simple water chain jutsu she used created over 6 dozens chains that kept reforming when I destroyed them. Whenever I tried to use my own water jutsu against her they kept getting canceled somehow making me forced to rely on my kenjutsu only to survive.'

"Brat I've barely shown you what I can do, I'm the demon of the hid…" Zabuza didn't get to finish his little rant because a senbon got imbued into his neck apparently killing him from the looks of it. Then what looked like a hunter-nin from Kirigakure appeared right next to Zabuza's fallen body.

Naruko seeing this couldn't help but grin because she knew that this person was nearby and was watching them and the kicker was she wasn't the only one either. Naruko sensed two others hiding nearby also. 'Looks like they finally decided to join the party huh, lets see how this plays out could be fun.' Naruko thought while walking slowly toward them.

But before Naurko could get any closer the hunter-nin spoke up "That's close enough, I must thank you for distracting Zabuza Momochi for me. I've been hunting him for a long time now." As soon as Naruko heard this voice she knew right away that this person was a woman even if they dressed as a man. "Ah it's no problem, I'm glad that I could help but you know killing stealing isn't something that I can let slide." Naruko then released her chakra in the area alerting everyone due to the sheer amount making them all flinch but Gaara and then it quickly disappeared like it was never there.

"I-I-I understand but this is my job after all, I hope that you can understand." The hunter-nin said while she was thinking something else 'I need to get away from here as soon as possible, this is a monster we can't hope to beat right now.'

It is at this moment that the others caught up with Naruko 'Now Naruko we shouldn't interfere with other villages. Since Zabuza is taken care of we should just move on with our mission." Kakashi said, trying to be a peacemaker for the situation but Naruko had something to say about that. "Kakashi since when the fuck can you tell me what to do. I don't remember you being my sensei so unless something happened while I was fighting Zabuza that somehow made you my sensei I'd appreciate if you fuck off and be quiet." This stunned all of team 7 and Tazuna while Anko had a proud expression on her face and Gaara was smiling slightly. "Right back to you hunter-nin, as the one that did most of the work you can take the body with you of course but the sword is mine." Naruko said with a smirk on her face.

'Let's see what she does now, while I don't really want the weapon messing with this hunter-nin is entertaining.' Naruko thought while waiting to see what happens next.

Shaking her head at Naruko which was to be expected "I can't allow that, the Kubikiri is the property of Kirigakure. I must take it with me sadly." she said with disappointment in her voice which would've worked if Naruko knew she was lying through her teeth.

Naruko then unsealed Em from her arm and twirled it around for a moment "Let's try this again, I'm keeping that sword and if you reach for it with your arm then I guess I'll be taking that too. So what's it going to be hunter-nin?" Naruko said with a sweet smile on her face that made the hunter-nin shudder because she believed that this monster would do just that.

'Damn looks like if I want to get Zabuza-sama out of here then some sacrifices will have to happen. Sorry Zabuza-sama but your life is more important than your sword to me.'

"Alright I understand" The hunter-nin then picks up the body in a princess carry "Thank you again and have a good day." She then disappeared from view heading back to the other two and then quickly made an escape from Naruko and her group. Naruko sensed the four leaving and couldn't help but smile 'I hope to see you again my little hunter-nin and your little group.'

Naruko then grabbed and sealed the Kubikiri in a storage seal she had on her and turned toward the group that were staring at her. "What, I know that I'm beautiful and all but staring is rather rude after all." Naruko said in a teasing tone.

It is at this moment that Sasuke stomped forward "Give me that sword now, it should be in the hands of an Uchiha like myself, only I can wield it." he said in a self righteous tone making Naruko, Anko, and Gaara look at him like he is an idiot which honestly he kind of is. Kakashi couldn't help but smack his forehead seeing and hearing this while Sakura nodded her head along seeing nothing wrong with this situation.

Tazuna leaned forward toward Sai and whispered into his ear "What's wrong with the little emo kid, why would he think that she would give him the weapon when he didn't do anything?"

"Honestly dickless does things like this all the time so it's normal for us." Tazuna didn't know what to think after hearing this and just drank from his flask since it seemed like a good idea to him.

Back with Naruko and Sasuke "Oh little emo-kun you want something from me but what if I say I don't want to, what then?" Naruko said with a smile on her face. Sasuke didn't take rejection well and reacted the way in which you would expect "Then I'll beat you down and take it." He then got into his taijutsu stance ready to attack. Kakashi knew that he had to do something or the last Uchiha was most likely going to die here and then he would have to deal with the council when they got back something he really didn't want to. It would cut into his reading time, reading was his number one priority after all then visiting the grave stone then training his students.

Putting a hand on Sasuke's shoulder "Now, now Sasuke let's calm down before we do anything we might regret." Kakashi said and seeing Sasuke not drop his stance just decided to take matters into his own hands and then quickly delivered a chop at the back of his neck knocking him out. Before he could fall he caught him and slumped him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Giving everyone an eye smile "Let's move along then Tazuna would you kindly lead us to this boat you spoke of so that we can continue the mission."

Taking another sip of his flask "Sure, sure just follow this great bridge builder." As they were walking toward this boat Anko decided to walk along Kakashi. "Smart move there Kakashi, if you didn't move I'm pretty sure the Uchiha clan would have gone extinct." she said with a laugh smacking his back.

"Anko please I'm carrying valuable merchandise right now." Anko couldn't help but laugh louder hearing this "That you are Kakashi, that you are."

While in the back of the group with Naruko and Gaara "Naru-chan would you really have killed the last Uchiha if he attacked you?" Gaara asked, wondering what his big sister was planning since he noticed that she purposely annoyed Sasuke to get him to attack her. "Now Gar-kun what kind of thing is that to say to your dear big sister? I wouldn't hurt a fellow Konoha citizen." She said with a smile on her face but Gaara and Shukaku knew better and almost wanted to call her out on it but an angry Naruko is something that they both didn't want to deal with so he simply nodded his head showing that he believed her even though he didn't.

**** Tazuna House

The rest of the trip toward Tazuna's house was uneventful but one interesting thing happened at some point Anko knocked out Sakura too much like Sasuke since she tried to get that sword for her Sasuke-kun as she said from Naruko. After the group made it to his house, Tazuna introduced his daughter Tsunami and his grand kid Inari to them all but a slight problem occurred with the introductions.

"Why do you guys even bother trying to help you won't be able to beat Gato and his goons. You're all just going to die." He screamed out and then ran off upstairs leaving everyone feeling awkward at what just happened. "What a nice grand kid you have there Tazuna, I really enjoy his can do spirit." Naruko said with clear sarcasm in her voice making Tazuna glare at her for the comment about his grand kid.

"I'm sorry Inari is going through a rough time right now, he really is a nice boy just give him time." Tsunami said in a motherly tone trying to explain her child's actions. "It's fine Tsunami-san is there a room upstairs that we can put these two for now." Kakashi asks to which Tsunami tells him that there are spare rooms upstairs and she can pick one of them.

"Well while you do that I'm going to explore the town for a bit, Gar-kun why don't you come with me. I'm going to leave a few shadow clones behind that will put some security seals around the house, hope that okay with you Anko sensei?" she asked "No problem Naru-chan do whatever you want I trust you and Gar-kun. Just come back in a few hours kay." Anko then waved them off.

**** Village

While the two were exploring the village they saw the horrible state that it was in with everyone looking incredibly thin and haggard like they were on the verge of collapsing at any moment. Another thing that they noticed is that they saw no woman at all and rarely saw a little girl around the village. Naruko then got a great idea and then grabbed Gaara's hand and led him to a secluded alleyway. "Gar-kun follow my lead and transform into a girl version of yourself. Then we can lure out the bandits." Naruko then transformed into an older version of herself but dressed in rags that showed off a lot of her body but made her look weak and defenseless. Gaara also transformed into a female version of himself in her mid twenties with waist length hair and dressed much the same way as Naruko.

The two then walked out of the alleyway and not even 5 minutes later they were surrounded by a large group of bandits "Haven't seen you around before, why don't you come with us and we can show you a good time right fellas." one of the bandits said while laughing while all of the bandits leered at Naruko's and Gaara's body drooling a little.

Naruko and Gaara both played their part and acted scared "W-w-we will go with you if you promise us food." The bandits couldn't help but smile and two of them grabbed Naruko's and Gaara's wrist and it took everything that the two had not to kill the two bandits that touched them. After 20 minutes of walking with the group of bandits they came upon a large mansion that was built on the outskirts of the village that had several other bandits posted outside that acted like guards spread out throughout the area.

After one of the bandits showed both Naruko and Gaara to the bandit guarding the door the man couldn't help but lustfully stare at the two and wave them through. They were led to the basement where the other women were kept and then thrown into a big cell with them. "Do enjoy your stay with us ladies, we will be sure to feed you but only if you satisfy us first." they all laughed then left and headed back upstairs.

When Naruko looked around the cell she saw about 30 women in this cell and most of them looked depressed and wallowing in despair, with some having vacant eyes after everything that they have been through. 'Naru-chan I want you to help these woman, there are few things that can upset me but rape is one of those few things.' Ahri said and Naruko could feel the anger in her voice after seeing this situation that the woman were in right now.

'You don't have to worry Ahri-chan I already planned on helping them and what better way to help them then to get their own revenge with their own hands.' Naruko then walked toward the center of the jail cell. "What would you give to get out of this cell and kill the ones that have wronged you? Would you give up your soul if it guaranteed you freedom and revenge?" After Naruko finished speaking every woman looked at Naruko and she looked each one of them in the eyes and cast a genjutsu that made her look like an angelic deity in their eyes here to save them from their torment.

"I promise you that opportunity all you have to do is kneel before me and show your sincerity." It didn't take long for the woman in the room to gather around Naruko and kneel around her in a circle. A black aura surrounded Naruko showing that a deal had been struck between her and the woman. 'Perfect, more demonic essence is always wanted, now to break out of here and get these women their revenge.'

"Rise up and take these." Naruko then unsealed kunai for the woman to grab and use as weapons. A lot of the women were hesitant at first but it didn't take long for them to build up the resolve after Naruko cast another genjutsu on them to help them along. "Now wait here I'll be right back."

Naruko sent a look toward Gaara telling him to defend the woman while she was gone just in case and then unsealed Em from her arm and cut the bars of their cell to pieces and walked upstairs where she sensed all of the bandits. As soon as Naruko made it upstairs she immediately drew everyone's attention because of the massive double scythe that she was casually holding.

One of the bandits snap out of his stupor after seeing Naruko with her weapon "Who the fuck are you and where did you get a weapon." He then charged forward wanting to seize the double scythe for himself. "I'm your…" Naruko with one fluid motion cut the man's head clean off his body "Executioner" as the man that just lost head fell to the ground with a fountain of blood gushing out of his neck. This move startled the rest of the bandits and they all raised their weapons they had on them to attack Naruko.

Seeing them charging at her with reckless abandon, Naruko channeled a massive amount of chakra into her eyes and cast a unique paralysis genjutsu on them that stopped their brains from sending signals out so that they couldn't move but would still be able to feel pain. It was a particularly nasty genjutsu that Ahri taught her this past week and now was a perfect time for her to use it. As Naruko watched all of the men drop to the floor like puppets with their stings cut "And you were so close to getting to me too. But don't worry boys we are still going to have some fun together, so don't go anywhere I'll be right back okay."

Like all genjutsu the only way to get out of this jutsu is to disrupt your chakra flow or someone else to do it but since these are all bandits they of course don't know how to do this. This genjutsu is great against cannon fodder like this or to create a moment of opportunity during a fight by stunning the enemy ninja during a fight.

Naruko giggled then walked back downstairs to fetch the others. Once she got back down stairs "Come your chance has come for you all to get your revenge and earn your freedom from your captors." All of the women slowly picked themselves off the ground and followed Naruko upstairs.

When the woman finally made it upstairs and saw the dead body and all of the bandits on the ground they immediately started shaking in fear which isn't surprising considering everything that they have gone through. "Do not cower, they are completely helpless and can't do anything to you no matter how hard they try. This is your chance, so take it and free yourself with your own hands." The bandits started making all kinds of threats and promises at the woman trying to find a way to survive this situation.

Finally one of the women stepped forward and using the Kunai stabbed the man right in the head silencing him forever. There was silence in the room after this, many of the bandits didn't think that one of the women that they captured would kill one of them. It didn't take long afterward for the other women to start killing the bandits on the ground while ignoring their plea for mercy.

While Naruko watched this whole situation go down 'I do love it when a plan comes together don't you Ahri-chan.'

'Of course Naru-chan, it's a good thing that I taught you that particular genjutsu last week. Make sure to kill all of the bandits Naru-chan. I don't want any survivors.' Ahri said in a firm tone. 'Of course Ahri-chan it was the plan along.'

Turning to Gaara "Oh Gar-kun want don't you go on a stroll and go have some fun." Naruko said with a smile on her face.

"Thanks big sis, I will. Shukaku and I have been itching to kill someone for a while now. Don't wait up." Gaara then disappeared off to finish off any bandits that are not currently in the room and given Gaara's abilities it shouldn't take him long unless he is in a playful mood.

**** Zabuza Hideout

While Naruko and Gaara are freeing the women of the village that were captured and leading them back to the village. We can see Zabuza currently resting on a bed wrapped in bandages and in a sleeping position with his back leaning against the wall and Haku standing next to him.

Then Gato and two of his goons come into the room with him. "Demon of the Hidden mist my ass. You had one job and you failed not to mention you already lost 2 of your men. I don't understand why I'm paying so much for you if you can't complete one simple task. Kill the bridge builder Tazuna." Gato rants then reaches for Zabuza but before he can touch him Haku grabs his arm in a death like grip. "If you teach Zabuza-sama then you will lose your hand."

Grimacing at the pain of having his arm held by Haku, he relents and Haku lets it go but not before she sends a senbon into his arm making it go limb. Gato yells out in pain "You bitch, you're lucky I still need you and your group otherwise I'd sell you to my men as a plaything for what you did to me. Come on let's go." Gato then storms off holding his now useless arm and leaves Zabuza hideout.

"I didn't need your help Haku, I could have taken care of them myself." Zabuza says in a raspy voice while hidden in his hand was a kunai ready to strike if Gato managed to get too close to him. "Of course Zabuza-sama." Haku said with a slight bow.

"Where is my sword, I don't see it anywhere." Zabuza asked while scanning the room and when he didn't see it he got a bad feeling. "I'm sorry Zabuza-sama but to get away without further injuring you I had to leave it behind otherwise a fight would have broken out and given your current condition at the time." Zabuza could only growl hearing this. He knew that Haku made the right call but this was his sword and it was precious to him, not to mention that most of his strength came from using the Kubikiri so without it he was severely weakened.

Sighing to himself "Where are Rikku and Fuka? Are they in the hideout or out playing around?"

"I don't understand why you keep those two around Zabuza-sama they barely listen to you as it is. They just do whatever they want most of the time, I know that they are Uzumaki's but it is really worth it?" Haku asked since this wasn't the first time she brought this up to him.

"We've talked about this Haku, the abilities of the Uzumaki are legendary especially with seals and since the fourth Mizukage is a jinchuriki we will need their help when we go back to land of water to kill Yagura. So if I have to put up with a bit of attitude it's worth it in the end."

"Aww it's good to know you care about us so much Zabuza and here I thought it was our good looks that kept us around." Fuka Uzumaki said while she walked in the room putting some extra sway in her steps showing off her hourglass like figure, something that made Haku jealous not that she would ever tell anyone that.

"Fuka we both know we are only using each other, I give you some protection and you help me take down Yagura. You know a lot of villages would do anything to get their hands on an Uzumaki, especially a woman such as yourself and sister Rikku."

Waving him off "Ya ya were great I know just hurry up and heal you no eyebrow bastard I don't like this land. It does shit for my hair with all the moisture in the air." Fuka then left the room flipping her hair with her hand.

"I don't like her, Zabuza-sama just give me the order and I will take care of her." Haku said with some slight anger in her voice and then pulled out 4 senbon and put them between her fingers. "Relax Haku, give me a week or two and I should be good to go then we can complete this mission and move on." He then closed his eyes going back to sleep.

**** Tazuna House

Naruko and Gaara finally showed up back at the house and when they walked in they saw everyone there "Well looks like everyone is here. Did you sleep well little emo and little pink banshee cause if not I'm more than willing to help you out." Naruko said with some mirth in her voice making the two mention glare at her.

"Now, now Naruko please don't aggravate my team. How did your trip to the village go find anything out?" Kakashi asked curiously and he wasn't the only one. "Well you know just went for a walk down in the village then all of a sudden we were captured and taken to where they were holding all of the other women in the village. Then we happened to break ourselves out and free all of the women and kill all the bandits there in our escape, and then led all of them back to the village then we came back here. You know just your everyday thing." Naruko explained while she drank the tea that Tsunami provided her.

There was a stunned silence in the air hearing what Naruko said, Kakashi starting rubbing his temples "You know what, just forget I asked… Anko your up." He then pulled out his little orange book. "Well I'm proud of you Naru-chan and Gar-kun. Were you able to get all the bandits that Gato hired then?" she asked.

Going into a thinking pose "Probably not given that there were only 60 bandits there and it would take more than that to take over a country. There are most likely other bandit camps spread out around the land but with us freeing the woman we won't have to look for them. They will simply come to us to capture the woman again and then we can capture one, find the location of the bandit camp and slaughter them all." Naruko said casually while she was examining her fingernails without a care in the world stunning mostly everyone there by nonchalantly talking about killing a massive amount of people.

"What kind of monster are you, for you to just talk about killing so many people." Sakura screamed out, making everyone cover their ears due to her volume. Naruko, Anko, and Gaara gave Kakashi a look that said are you serious right now. Kakashi seeing their looks couldn't help but rub the back of his head and look sheepish. "Calm down Sakura, what Naruko said is the correct method in how to deal with our current situation. Now no more arguing it's late, why don't we turn in for the night." He said shutting down his team from talking anymore.

"Before that Kakashi we should talk about how Zabuza is still alive and what we are going to do about that." Anko said to everyone, she then explained how a hunter-nin usually works and how the situation with the one that they ran into was extremely suspicious. Naruko also threw in her own two cents on the matter stating that Zabuza was still alive when the hunter-nin took him.

"Alright so new plan, sleep tonight and tomorrow morning we can get some training in so that we can be ready to fight Zabuza and any backup that he has. Based on what Anko said he should be out for about 2 weeks so that gives us plenty of time to train. Anko if you don't mind can I have you and your team watch Tazuna's family and the village while me and my team will watch him at the bridge." Kakashi asked to which Anko nodded not seeing a problem with it.

"I thank you for looking after us and the village." Tsunami bowed to the ninja.
