Return Of The Flash

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Author's note: So many reviews! And all of them positive! I feel like I made a difference in the last chapter. I will address the guests first. To the one who said Naruto is forming rasengan inside him: I guess you could look it that way. It also works for my story; it serves as a foundation for Naruto until the time he actually starts training rasengan. Good point, though.

F0G21: Thank you for your comments, and I can feel where you are coming from. Sometimes, when I find a really good story, this feeling surfaces. The feeling that something interesting has popped up in your monotonous life.

Helrio uzugaku: Very fascinating and interesting point. I read the chapter in which the FTG is explained and I have to commend that author. He managed to merge real world science with anime science! Anyway, I enjoyed reading the theory. Thank you for that and if you do find something similar, do enlighten in the reviews.

Otsutsuki no yami: You make an excellent point. I had almost forgotten about how the civilians will take control after the invasion. It made me think of a way to make Hiruzen survive and as such, you have my sincere thanks.

Onto the story!

P.S: This chapter will be long. Consider it a bonus for being nice.

Zabuza was resting on a cot with a blanket over him. He did not like the fact that he had lost to Kakashi. That damn sharingan! He hated its abilities, copying off the hard work and dedication he had put into learning his jutsu in a simple blink. His fists clenched in anger, he could not wait to tear that eyeball out and stomp on it. Moments later, a short man dressed in a business suit and two samurais as bodyguards entered the room and went over to where Zabuza was.

"So the terrifying demon of the mist is crippled after facing a few kids and a ninja. I don't think I'm getting my money's worth when it comes to paying you, Zabuza. Perhaps I should just kill you and spare myself the pain of losing any more money", the short man sneered at the bed resting nin.

Gato walked over to Zabuza and reached out to strangle him when a figure appeared out of nowhere and grabbed his wrist, before ruthlessly twisting it.

"You will not harm Zabuza-sama. I won't allow it", came the hard voice of Haku. He twisted Gato's wrist further to just before the point of breaking it to drive his point home. Gato shrieked in pain and fell to his knees.

"Hands off our boss!" One of the samurai took a step forward when Haku grabbed a kunai and threw it at them. The samurai dodged it as it got buried in the wall behind them.

Seeing them distracted, she pulled out two of her senbon and threw it precisely at a point in both of their arms that it was rendered immobile.

The temperature in the room dropped a few degrees as Haku whispered with deadly intent, "I missed your vital points on purpose, so don't test me."

Gato snarled as he got up to his feet after Haku released him, "Insolent brat! You and Zabuza had better finish the job I gave you, or there will be consequences!" With that, he exited the house, followed by his bodyguards whose arms were still immobile.

"You know, you didn't have to do that for me. I could have taken care of it myself if it came to that", Zabuza commented as he fingered the kunai in his hands under the bedsheet.

"I was aware of that, Zabuza-sama. But as your tool, I will always protect my master in any circumstance", Haku said with a smile. Zabuza sighed, "In any case, I will be back to full strength in three more days. And when I am", his voice turned murderous, "Kakashi will die!"

XXXXXXX

After getting outside, he walked to the spot he was training in since morning. 'There's something I don't get. His father was killed, and while that is obviously the cause of grief, why hasn't Inari moved on?' Naruto asked Kurama as he neared the training spot.
