The Prodigy Namikaze by SoulReaperCrewe

Chapter 25

First off I'm sorry for breaking my promise of updating once a day, even if it wasn't my fault but wattpad's. So to make up for it I'm giving up part of my break at work to bring you 3 chapters today. Enjoy!

"Are you both ready?" Naruto asked as he stood side by side with Hana and Hayate as they stood high above the ground on the tree tops. Down below they looked down upon a large hidden hideout five miles away from the main town in Wave Country.

The past 7 days the trio had spent in Wave Country they had spent both helping the town and ensuring the genin team Eiji was on was ready for a confrontation with Zabuza and his accomplice.

In town Naruto's multiple clones continued fishing in the harbor and feeding the town with what he caught. It put smiles on the face of many people and it kept them fed each day which was a step up from their previous situation. He helped with their food as much as they could but he knew money was what would ultimately help this town. And they needed lots of it.

Secretly he had used his Mokuton to build more houses. A few here and there to prevent suspicion from the others. Now was not the right time to reveal the power he somehow inherited from the Shodaime Hokage.

At Tsunami' home Hayate and Hana had helped the genin team while Hana had focused her time on Sakura. The girl was truly pitiful but was at least making steps to improve her physical abilities. You couldn't have just brains in the shinobi world. The brawn was needed just as much. For that they got Sakura's stamina up while making progress on making her chakra reserves larger.

Hopefully sense had finally been knocked into the girl. At least that's what they all hoped anyway. They managed to at least get rid of this stupid diet the girl was on.

With Sasuke and Eiji the two had been taught how to walk on water. Once they did so they were told to spar with one another, learning to control their chakra to keep them on top of the water while trying to focus on their opponent at the same time. It took a while but eventually they finally got there. They would train Sakura in the water walking exercise once her chakra was up to snuff.

Then the two boys were told to focus on the jutsu they knew before they were taught a new jutsu. So Naruto had Hayate watched over them and practice. This way they could gain better mastery over their jutsu, control the amount of chakra better while enabling them to make them more powerful while using less chakra.

Both boys grumbled at that since they thought they were good enough at their jutsu as it was but a quick spar with Hayate showed them how wrong they were.

Naruto was confident that Team 7 could hold the duo down long enough for them to arrive to the bridge. Kakashi was ready, Eiji was ready, Sasuke was ready and Sakura he hoped was ready.

"So do you think he's really there?" Hayate asked, his eye focused intently on the building. "What if everything the guy told us was lies?"

The trio had spotted a member of Gato's thugs and decided it was time to end Gato's reign in Wave Country once and for all. They had seen the destruction that he had caused and knew that enough was enough. No one, not even a rich man like Gato would be allowed to get away with such horrendous crimes.

Killing innocent lives, forcing people out of their homes and rendering people homeless and starving. Naruto would not allow such an evil person to live a moment longer.

"I know he is." Hana responded, her eyes going all canine like as she and the triplets growled. "I can smell him from up here. The man smells repulsive. I'm actually looking forward to this."

"You and me both." Naruto responded as he dropped out of the tree tops and marched towards the hideout.

"Do you think Zabuza and the unknown shinobi are within?" Hayate asked as Hana smelled the air. They knew they would have a fight on their hands if the Seven Swordsman member was inside. It was a good thing for them that Naruto was with them and had experience when it came to fighting the swordsman. Before she could answer Naruto already beat her too it.
