Chapter 6: The Battle of the Bridge

The rest of the week passed without incident for Naruto and team 7. Kakashi had made sure Sasuke and Sai could make it all the way to the top of a tree before judging them ready. Whilst Sakura had to be able to stay stuck to the tree for a hour without being exhausted from lack of chakra.

Naruto on the other hand had been working on his taijutsu and his Fuuton: gale palm with his clones, while he was still trying to complete the rasengan and he often came into the house late and exhausted. Which was why on the day Kakashi expected the attack to happen he allowed Naruto to stay in bed for extra rest and join up later.

"Hey let my mom go" a voice came from downstairs as Naruto stirred. Upon hearing the call he immediately jumped into action jumping out the window. Using the roof he quietly moved around to the front of the house to observe and plan the safest way to help the now tied up Tsunami and Inari.

Quickly deciding on the safest course of action Naruto made three clones and moved them to hide ether side of the door while the third would act as a distraction.

"Hey let them go now" Naruto's clone demanded rushing into the house and landing a punch on the nearest of the two thugs.

"Fuck off kid, hey the boss only really needs the boy and his mother you watch them while I deal with this kid the clone suddenly back tracked acting scared while the thug walked towards him with a smirk on his face.

"Haha look how scared the little shit is just hurry up so we can get back to Gato and get paid" the other laughed enjoying the look of fear on the young blonds face. Unfortunately he didn't notice that same blond sneak in through the window behind him.

As soon as the first bandit excited the door the trap was unleashed, the clones on either side delivered kicks to his ribs whilst the third placed a punch to the stunned goons face easily knocking him out.

The other thug was shocked and went to help his partner but as soon as he moved was knocked out by an attack by the original Naruto.

After tying them up and releasing Inari and his mother he decided to wake them up so he could question them over Gato's plans, slapping the goon who stayed to guard the mother and son he waited as he began to wake.

"Wah where am I" he asked confused.

"Well you are where you were when you attacked an innocent family" the blond smirked.

"Hey fuck you, you little shit just wait till Gato gets here. You don't stand a chance the bridge builder is already dead Zabuza will have seen to that" the tied up goon responded confident he would be right.

'Oh no the bridge, team 7, I gotta get there fast I have already wasted far too long here' Naruto thought as he ran out of the house removing his weights for extra movement and speed.

(The Bridge 30 Minute's Earlier)

"What happened here where is everyone" Tazuna said fear clearly showing on his face as the fog crept in.

'This isn't normal fog, that only means Zabuza is here well looks like I guessed the day right' "Well well back for round two hey Zabuza" Kakashi asked in a casual tone.

"Heh its going to be different this time Kakashi" Zabuza sneered with confidence as he walked out of the mist with the hunter ninja from before.

"I see you brought some help this time" Kakashi said almost bored.
