The Lost Heir (Naruto Fanfic)

The Secret Plan!!!

*3rd Person's POV*

"Time for us... To rock n' roll!..." Naruto said, wiping his mouth with a grin on his lips.

"Heh heh... You're very sure of yourself. But... Do you really think you stand a chance against me?" 'Zabuza' asked.

"What's the matter with you? I told you to run. It's over... It was over the second he caught me! You have to do your duty. Keep that in mind. We're here to protect Mr. Tazuna!!" Kakashi shouted.

"Gramps...?" Naruto questioned, glancing at Tazuna.

"What? Let's face facts. The truth is, I got us into this mess by lying... I've had a real long life, and it would be wrong to let you five kids trying to save me. So you go ahead... Give this fight everything you've got." Tazuna said with a grin.

"So that's it!"

"Are you ready for this?"

"Rest in peace me."

"Heh... Heh heh heh heh... Apparently you don't care whether you live to get any older!"

"What?!"

"Playing at being a ninja like it's a child's game... I, however... By the time I was your age... Had already dyed these hands in my enemies blood..."

This caused Team Seven and Tazuna to gulp.

"The Demon... Zabuza!" Kakashi said realization.

"It would seem my reputation has preceded me." Zabuza states.

"Long ago... In the village hidden in the mist also known as "the village of the bloody mist"... The final step toward becoming a full fledged ninja was the most inhumanly difficult test imaginable." Kakashi says.

"So... You've heard about our little graduation exercise."

"Graduate exercise"...?"

"Heh heh heh."

"Wh-what "graduation exercise"?" Naruto asked.

"Heh heh heh..." Zabuza continued to chuckle.

"It's a kind of "killing spree"... Among classmates." Zabuza answered.

This shocked Naruto.

"Students who'd been friends, eating from the same dish, an undergrads were divided into pairs who were forced to fight against each... To the death. Think of it. Comrades who had trained together, lived together, shared each other's hope and dream..."

"That's terrible..." Sakura said.

"Don't feel sorry, he's our enemy dang it!" Shiro shouted.

"Ten years ago, the elders of the village Hidden in the Mist... Were forced to enact a sweeping reform of their barbaric graduation ritual... Because of the appearance, during the previous year... Of a human fiend who made reform essential."

"What kind of reform?"

Zabuza stayed silent.

"What are you talking about? What did the fiend you're talking about do?"

"Ohmigosh, become useless somewhere else please!" Shiro said annoyed.

"Without a moment's hesitation... Without any hint of a qualm... A boy who hadn't even qualified yet as a ninja... Butchered over a hundred members of that year's graduating class. Ah, yes. Good times... I used to have so much fun." Zabuza said with a grin.

"Doesn't anyone find this a little creepy? No? Okay, it's just me then." Shiro muttered.

Zabuza appeared into thin air and kicked Sasuke into the air before hammer fisting him into the ground.

Sasuke cried out as he coughed out blood.

"Sasuke!!!" Sakura cried out.

Kakashi was clearly shaken, knowing that he wasn't able to save his pupils at this very moment.

"Time to die..."

Naruto lifted two fingers each, in front of him.

"Shadow clone jutsu!"

Thousands of Naruto's appeared around 'Zabuza'.

"So... Shadow clones, eh? And quite a lot of them..."

"Ready or not--!!!"

All of the Naruto's went at the clone of Zabuza.

The clones dog piled Zabuza which was a bad idea as Zabuza swirled around, taking out the clones.

"Aaugh!!!!"

"Yaah!!"

The real Naruto fell on to the ground, holding something.

"Sasuke!!" Naruto called out tossing the object to Sasuke, which whom caught it.

Sasuke landed on his feet, a huge shuriken in his hand.

Shiro closed his eyes and created hand signs, ready to use a jutsu.

"Demon wind shuriken!!!! Windmill of shadows!!"

"Wind style: divine wind."

"Shuriken are useless against me!"

Both the shuriken and the jutsu came flying, although the jutsu made the shuriken fly through the air more quicker and powerful.

The shuriken went around the clone and towards the real Zabuza.

Shiro collapsed to his knees, huffing.

"At least this time you've had the sense to zero on my true form..." Zabuza said.

"Amateur!"

Although Zabuza caught the shuriken, another one appeared, as the real shuriken's shadow.

"A second shuriken in the shadow of the first shuriken...!"

Zabuza was forced to jump to dodge the shadow shuriken.

"Still an amateur!"

"Heh..." Sasuke chuckled quietly.

Sasuke and Shiro had a smirk as they looked up at the supposed shadow shuriken.

"Eh?"

The shuriken disappeared away, showing Naruto in the air with a kunai in hand.

Naruto was ready to attack Zabuza back.
