Sorry to all of those who would rather see me post up chapters for my other story. I just had to write other stories though. You understand, right?

I knew you would. Now here is the first chapter of Demon of the Silent Winds... Enjoy!

Naruto was an entirely different person from what people thought he was. True, he liked to do pranks now and then, but he also liked to read, learn new things, and train extremely, to the point of exhaustion. Most people thought he wasn't bright, but he was in-fact very intelligent, due to his extensive research and love of learning new things. Naruto also had some questions about himself that he really couldn't ask anyone else. He would ask his parents, but Naruto had never known his parents, so he never got to ask these questions.

One of said questions, was why he had these strange... Feelings...

Naruto had always felt it, even when he was a kid. He could never really put the feelings into words, but the best thing he thought so far was... Power, or Strength, or Knowledge, or maybe all of the three. He always suppressed the feeling into the back of his mind. But it was always there, creeping on him from the back of his mind.

Said yellow haired ninja, was currently walking with team seven on an escort were escorting a man named Tazuna, a bridge builder, to Wave country.

'Damn this is lame...' Naruto thought as they passed a suspicious looking puddle. 'Man, I hope something comes up soon, or I might die from boredom otherwise...' Not even five seconds after he thought this, did the puddle transform into two nuke nin, who ran up to Kakashi, throwing their spiked chain around him before they ripped him to pieces. "Ha! One down, now that he's down, the other three should be pretty easy." One of the two said.

"K-Kakashi-sensai!" Sakura called out. 'Kakashi... No...' Naruto thought, mourning the loss of his teacher. He didn't have that long to do this, however, because now the two ninja were targeting him. One appeared right next to his face and said "You're next."

Naruto felt the strange feelings tugging at the back of his mind. He remained still.

"Awww, look at him, he's frozen up with fear!" the second one joked.

Naruto attempted to suppress it, but it was much stronger this time.

"Let's finish him off quickly so we can get back and get our pay." The first one said

Naruto let any attempts to restrain it go, and a strange feeling washed over his body. 'Hey, how's it going?' A voice in Naruto's head spoke. 'What the-? WHO'S IN MY MIND?!' Naruto mentally shouted as he watched the two enemy ninja squabble over something. 'Don't worry, but for now, let's just say I'm... You. Only I have experience in battle that stretch hundreds of years back...' The voice said again. 'Wait, so you are trying to tell me that you ARE me, only you have a whole bunch more experience in fighting things? COOL!' Naruto replied childishly. 'Yeah yeah, I know. Look, I don't have much time left before I merge into your subconscious. All I came here to say, was that all you need to do is whatever feels natural. Okay?' The other Naruto said. 'I'm not really understanding any of this at all, but alright!' The blonde said. 'Alright, good luck kid. This will be important to your future... remember that...' He then felt a surge of power and knowledge of the battlefield enter his body. The two ninja were looking at him now, seeing him have some sort of mini-spasm.

"Fine! I'll let you get the blonde one..." The second ninja answered, most likely giving in to whatever argument they had earlier.

"Thanks bro! Alright, time to say goodbye, brat!" The first one thrust a claw out to pierce Naruto in the gut, killing him.

Well, that would have happened, if Naruto had been there.

"What!? Where did he go?" The first one exclaimed. "I'm right here." A voice said behind him, in an ice cold voice. The first ninja turned quickly, thrusting a claw at the voice behind him. His claw made contact, going into Naruto's hand. Naruto pulled a kunai out of his pouch with his free hand, and stuck it into the ninja's neck all the way to the hilt. A gurgle noise escaped his throat before he collapsed on the ground, dead.

"Brother!" The second one exclaimed, "You! I'll make you pay for this!" He said, before he charged at Naruto, throwing a rage-filled punch at his head. Naruto merely caught the fist, before he broke his wrist with a sickening crack. But Naruto wasn't done there. Naruto brought his free arm up before he punched his elbow with all his might, breaking it and caving it in, making it bend in a way it was definitely not supposed to. The ninja didn't even get to scream before Naruto pulled out another Kunai and slammed it into his heart, killing him instantly.

Naruto pulled the kunai out of his body and let go of his fist. The body slumped to the ground in a puddle of blood. Naruto cleaned his kunai off on the man's clothing, before he walked to the other body and did the same. Naruto put both kunai back into his pouch, before he turned around to see a lot of shocked faces, including Kakashi's.

Kakashi's Thoughts

'When did Naruto get this good? I thought he had always been an idiot, but apparently, he's been holding out on me...'

Sakura's Thoughts

'Oh my Kami-sama, when did Naruto get this good?' Sakura thought. 'Cha! Don't fall for it! He's just trying to make you love him! Shannaro!' Her inner voice stated. 'Yeah! Sasuke-kun could do way better than that!'

Sauske's Thoughts

'Hn. Dobe.'

Back to Normal

"Oh hey Kakashi! Wait, I thought you died?" Naruto asked. They just continued to stare at Naruto. "What is it? There something on my face?" Naruto said, rubbing away at random spots on his face. "You guys okay?" This snapped them out of their trance. "Naruto, I will ask you about this later, but first, those claws had poison on them, so don't move around much, or else the poison will spread fas-" He was cut off by Naruto stabbing his hand, draining the poison out of it.

"Naruto! You baka! What are you doing?!" The pink haired kunoichi half screamed half asked. "What do you think I'm doing? I'm getting the poison out of my body. Yeesh, for being top of the class you aren't that bright, are you?" Naruto said in a mocking tone. Everyone was shocked, even Tazuna. Everyone knew Naruto had a huge crush on Sakura, even Sakura knew! Well, when someone asks you out multiple times you kinda assume that, but anyway, he had never back-talked her, or even said anything mean to her! "W-what?" Sakura said in a daze. "What? You deaf too? I said I'm draining the poison." Naruto said, in the same tone as before. Normally, Sakura would take something he said the wrong way, and he would apologize profusely for it, but now, he was dissing her like she was nothing!

Everyone just kinda stared at him for a while. "Well, now that the interruption is taken care of, let's be on our way. Shall we?" Naruto said, breaking the silence. The all nodded and started walking on the path again.

A while later, the group could be seen on a boat, with a man paddling it behind them.

It was silent for pretty much half the trip, until Sakura broke the silence. "Naruto! How did you do all that back there!" She shouted. The man paddling the boat was about to tell her to be quiet, but Naruto beat her to it. "Shush Sakura! We have to be quiet or else we'll attract more enemy nin! I thought you would know we needed to be quiet, since there is a motor attached to the back that we aren't using." Naruto said in an agitated whisper. Sakura looked back at the motor, before her eyes turn to her lap as she blushed in embarrassment, also slightly disappointed he had avoided her question. After this, they arrived on shore, where they immediately departed to Tazuna's house, not speaking a word.

Some time later, as they were walking, Naruto randomly threw a kunai into a bush. "Naruto! Why did you do that you baka!" The pink banshee shouted, "Well, let me show you." Naruto then proceeded to walk over to the bush, before he pulled out a dead snow rabbit. "Gee, isn't it odd that there is a snow rabbit at this time of the year?" Naruto asked to no-one in particular. Kakashi's eyes widened, before he noticed something flying at them from the corner of his eye. "Everyone get down!" Kakashi shouted. Everyone hit the dirt except Naruto, who merely jumped over said flying item.

The sword embedded itself in a tree, before a figure appeared on the hilt of what they now saw was a sword.

"Well, well, what do we have here? Three useless genin, a bridge builder, and the famous copy-nin?" The man on the sword spoke. "Zabuza Momochi..." Kakashi uttered. Naruto started to walk to the newcomer, before Kakashi stuck out a hand to block him. "No Naruto... This fight is mine..." Kakashi said, taking off, moving his headband up. This earned a gasp from Sasuke and Sakura, as they both knew that it was a doujutsu that only those of Uchiha blood had. "Showoff..." Naruto said under his breath. Kakashi shot a small glare at him, before he turned his attention the Zabuza, only to see he and his sword were no longer there. "Kirigakure no Jutsu!" They heard him call out, before a thick mist enveloped the entire area.

"Team, get in manji formation and protect the bridge builder! Zabuza is a master of the silent killing technique, and is not to be taken lightly!" Kakashi shouted. The three surrounded the bridge builder, Sasuke and Sakura pulling out kunai while Naruto just stood there with a bored look on his face.

"Eight Points..." An eerie sounding voice said, seeming to come from every direction. "Larynx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular, subclavian arter-" "Oh shut up and just get on with it!" Naruto interrupted. He heard an irritated growl coming from Zabuza, obiously because he interrupted his speech. Zabuza suddenly and silently appeared in the middle of the three genin, which did not go unnoticed by Kakashi. But before he could intervene with whatever Zabuza was about to do, Naruto suddenly turned around and stabbed him in the leg with a kunai. However, instead of blood coming out of the wound, water gushed out of the wound. 'A water clone!' Kakashi and Naruto both thought. Kakashi felt a presence at his side, so he pulled out a kunai and plunged it deep into the target. This too, was another water clone. "HA! Getting a bit rusty, are we Kakashi?" He heard a voice call out from farther back behind him. He ran to the target and was about to attack when he realized that was what he wanted him to do. He wanted Kakashi to charge at him because...

He was now standing on water.

"Suirō no Jutsu!" Kakashi heard Zabuza shout out, before he trapped Kakashi in a sphere of water. "That was even easier than I thought." Zabuza stated, making a water clone in the process. The clone appeared about ten meters ahead of the group. Kakashi moved his eyes to look at his team. "You three! You need to take the bridge builder and run! Go!You have to get out of here, you don't stand a chance!" Naruto and Sasuke just glared at the water clone, while Sakura turned to make a break for it.

"Sakura! What in the hell are you doing?!" Naruto shouted, never taking his off of the clone. "W-well, Kakashi told us t-"

"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT KAKASHI SAID! YOU SHOULD NEVER LEAVE ANY TEAMMATES BEHIND!" Naruto said, infuriated by her actions. "NOW, YOU WILL STAND BY TAZUNA, AND GUARD HIM WITH YOUR LIFE! IF HE EVEN HAS A SCRATCH ON HIM SO HELP ME KAMI, I WILL-"

"That's enough, Naruto... I think she got the point..." Sasuke stated calmly, attempting to calm Naruto down. It succeeded, but Naruto was still miffed at what she was thinking of doing. "Fine! Let's take care of this eyebrow-less freak of nature!" Naruto exclaimed. Sasuke nodded, "Alright, I'll g-" "No you won't." Naruto interrupted, "You are going to stay the fuck out of my way!" Naruto shouted, before he disappeared from view. Naruto reappeared behind the water clone and delivered a chop to it's neck, before he disappeared again. "What! How is this brat so good?!" Zabuza shouted in frustration. "I have no idea." A voice said behind him. Zabuza turned his head so he could see the kid. "Some weird shit happened the other day, and now I'm a badass! Cool, right?" The blonde boy said, "Although, it did make me lose my taste in color. I don't even like the color orange anymore!" Naruto said with a fake pout. "You brat! You think I give a damn about what color you like?" Zabuza spoke with anger.

A kunai appeared on Zabuza's neck. "Awww, that's not very nice... You should apologize to me, cause now I'm really really sad!" Naruto said in a babyish voice. Zabuza cursed before he let go of Kakashi's water prison and pulled out his sword, swiping it at Naruto. "Hey! What kind of apology is this?" Naruto said mockingly, before he pulled a kunai and blocked the blow, holding the sword back from hitting him by mere inches. "SHUT UP!" Zabuza screamed before he jumped back. He started doing multiple hand seals, while Naruto just watched him do the seals. A few more moments later, and the Demon of the Mist had completed his jutsu, he smirked maliciously, "Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!" Zabuza shouted before a water dragon burst through the surface of the water they were standing on. Naruto did nothing but watch the dragon hover right above him.

"You're finished!" Zabuza shouted as the water dragon crashed into Naruto, the water blocking him from view. "NOOOO NARUTO!" Sakura shouted. Sasuke just stood there with a look of pity in his eyes. "Now that he's out of the way... You two are next." Zabuza said cockily. He started walking toward the two teammates, a figure appeared between him and who he was going after next. "Ah, almost forgot about you Kakashi! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to kill two worthless genin and a bridge builder..." Zabuza said. "Over my dead body." Kakashi replied. "That can be arranged." Zabuza said with a wicked smile. Just as he was about to attack him, he heard a strangely familiar voice call out. "Now you've pissed me off Zabuza!" "Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu!"

Zabuza turned to his left to see a giant swirl of water coming straight for him.

"Fuck" Was the only thing Zabuza said before he was hit dead on by the vortex of water. The water carried him for a while until he was slammed against a tree. He was sputtering out water when Naruto appeared in front of him, with a kunai pressed against his throat. "No... You're finished." Naruto was about to do the final blow when three senbon came from nowhere and made contact with his neck. Naruto turned to see who had thrown the senbon, only to be met by a long-haired boy with a mask that had red marking on it.

"Thank you. I had been tracking this Zabuza Momochi for a long time now, searching for the opportune time to strike. You gave me the chance to do so, which I am very grateful for." Naruto just nodded, looking suspiciously at the hunter-nin. The others appeared shortly after. "Dobe, I demand you teach me all you know." The Uchiha said. "Yeah!" A certain pink banshee agreed. "Shut up. Your goals are almost as dumb as you are." Naruto said irritatedly. "WHAT? YOU NOT ONLY DENY A UCHIHA, BUT YOU MOCK ONE AS WELL?" Sasuke shouted in rage. "Oh, I'm s-o-o sorry, oh sacred one! Please have mercy on this poor, lowly soul! Pfft, Yeah right. Why don't you work on removing that stick that seems to be up your ass?" Naruto replied mockingly. Sasuke just grunted and looked away, not saying another word.

Sakura was about to say something but received a glare from Naruto, "Say how big of an idiot I am compared to Sasuke. I dare you." She shut her mouth, and did the smart thing to do in this case. She kept quiet. "Now, hunter-nin, dispose of the body like you are supposed to." Naruto said to the masked boy. "W-what?" He replied with a slight hint of nervousness. "Destroy. The. Body." Naruto said, looking sternly at the tracker. The boy quickly shunshinned to Zabuza. Naruto threw three kunai at the boy, each making contact. The masked ninja still managed to shunshin away with Zabuza, though. "Naruto! Why did you harm that ninja? I'm going to have to report the Hokage about this..." Kakashi said sternly. Naruto rolled his eyes, "Kakashi, you do know that they are supposed to destroy the body immediately, right?" Kakashi nodded, "And you did see how he used senbon, which are practically non-lethal, right?" Naruto said. Kakashi's eyes widened. "Ohh, now you get it, huh? This means Zabuza isn't dead, but it will take him a while to recover..." Naruto then turned to Tazuna, "Can we get to your house now Tazuna? Kakashi needs to get s-"

Thump.

"KAKASHI!" Sakura shouted. Naruto had to put his hands over his ears to keep him from being deafened. "He's fine Sakura, he just overused his Sharingan and needs some rest. Now, since you didn't do anything at all during that fight, this means YOU have to carry him." Naruto said, pointing at Sakura. "B-but!" Sakura started, but stopped when she realized that arguing was pointless. She picked up Kakashi, and began to walk to Tazuna's house.
