Naruto Demon of the Hidden Leaf

Chapter 1: The beginning of a swordsman

Naruto was facing Gato's huge army of thugs, in front of him was Zabuza, he had a huge hole in his chest from Kakashi's chidori, next to him were a hurt and tired Haku and Kakashi. Together they were staring at Gato and his army thinking of ways to defeat them.

"Stand back Haku, your fight with the little blonde dude left you way too tired…I'll handle it." Zabuza lifted his zanbato and had to hold back a screamed as the hole in his chest sent waves of pain through his body.

"Zabuza with that wound you won't last more than ten minutes." as Kakashi said that Haku led a little sod as he realized the extent of Zabuza's injury.

"I know, I only want to take Gato the rest are an added bonus." Zabuza rested the zanbato on his shoulder and grinned at the copy ninja he then looked at his adopted son and gave him a warm smile.

"Go and hide." Haku shook his head and took out a couple of senbons to fight, Zabuza gave a Kakashi a look, Kakashi nodded and hit Haku on the back of the neck, knocking him out.

"Can I trust you to take him with you back to Konoha, he was never register as a Ninja in Kiri, so Konoha can make him one and not worry about Kiri bitching about it." Kakashi gave Zabuza one of his patented eye smiles and took out a kunai.

Zabuza looked at the army, specifically at Gato and grinned, that scared the businessman to his very core, to see a man that clearly is about to die smile in the face of death is unnerving cause it meant that Zabuza was unpredictable .

"You assholes want to see a Demon…then here I come." said Zabuza as he started to sun towards the army, when he got there he used his momentum to swing the zanbato and cut 5 men in half. He started swinging and killing people. In five minutes he was in front of Gato and the last 10 men of his army, he had many weapons embedded in his body .

When Zabuza was about to give Gato the killing blow he collapse from blood lost. Gato just smiled and he and his bodyguards started kicking and spitting on Zabuza's body.

Kakashi got angry and spin his kunai in a inverted position and was about to run forward and kill the remaining thugs and Gato but had to stop when he felt the huge among of killer intent behind him. When he looked behind him he saw Naruto, his eyes had change from the usual bright blue to a dark red and instead of a pupil he had black slits.

"I'll kill you all, you bastards." Naruto sped forward the men before Kakashi could stop him.

He reach the men in second, he took out a kunai and gutted one of them, he then threw the kunai at another and impaled him through the neck.

Naruto stopped and released a huge amount of chakra towards the remaining men that surrounded Gato, the blast of chakra threw them back and the only ones left standing were Naruto and Gato, Naruto looked down and saw the battered body of Zabuza.

"How dare you kick and spit on Zabuza's body, that man there was a great shinobi, he died a warriors death and you dare disrespect him, I will kill you." roared Naruto as the chakra around him intensified, the chakra was so strong that it disperse the remaining mist that was on the bridge, it also woke up the unconscious Haku and Sasuke.

"Sakura what's up with Naruto, why is all that chakra around him." Sakura just shook her head telling Sasuke that the mist lifted a couple of seconds ago and that she didn't know.

Naruto saw Zabuza's sword on the ground a couple of feet from him , he threw his arm in the direction of the sword and a chakra arm shot out from it and grabbed the zanbato by the hilt, the chakra arm receded back leaving the sword in Naruto's hand. The moment the sword touched his hand he felt like a surge of power burned through his body but he decided to ignored it.

"This sword I'll finish what Zabuza started, this sword will bring about you end now DIE!!." Screamed Naruto as he lifted his arm and swung down, slicing the evil Gato in half, the bodyguards saw this and started to run but as they turned the saw Naruto in front of the them.

"And were the hell you assholes think your going I'm not done yet." Naruto spiked his chakra and the Zanbato in his hand was envelope in red chakra.

Naruto swung the sword and killed the remaining thugs slicing then in half, as he started to calm down and the power of the fox left him the sword became too heavy to hold and he dropped it.

"Now that's what I call a true demon." said a voice from behind Naruto, as Naruto turned to look at the source he saw Zabuza on the floor looking at him. Naruto knelt next to the fallen swordsman.

"Zabuza your alive." said the sad blonde but when he saw at the wounds on Zabuza body he knew that the former demon of the mist wasn't long for this world, even a inexperienced genin knew that much.

"Hey little one, what's your name." Naruto looked surprised at the question. At that second Haku arrived and sat next to his adoptive father.

"It's Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." Zabuza gave the blonde a smile and pointed towards his Zanbato.

"Take care of my sword will ya." Naruto looked at the huge sword behind him and smiled.

"I'll take care of your sword Zabuza." Zabuza smiled and turned his head to look at Haku.

"My son, I'm sorry I could give you a better life, I arrange for you to go to Konoha with Kakashi and become a ninja there, I will miss…" the light left Zabuza's eyes and Haku started sobbing.

"I'll miss you two dad." said Haku as Naruto place his hand in Haku shoulder and gave the grieving boy a smile.

That evening Zabuza was buried in a hill deep in the forest to ensure that nobody would come mess with his body, the had a small funeral and in the end Kakashi used a kunai to write something in the headstone.

Here lies

Zabuza Momochi

Though he lived like a demon

He died like a man

You will be missed

The bridge only took them two weeks to finished thanks in part to Naruto who use his shadow clones to help and Kakashi who bossed around all the clones, after the bridged was finished Haku gave Naruto some bandages to wrap Zabuza's sword in and team 7 and Haku left for Konohagakure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Few Days later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4 miles outside Konohagakure

Kakashi, Sasuke Sakura and Haku were walking towards Konoha when Kakashi stopped walking and sat on a huge rock. The 3 teen following him stopped as well.

"Kakashi-sensei why are we stopping." asked Sasuke, Kakashi just pointed to the road behind them.

"We're waiting for Naruto." Sais Kakashi as a tick mark appeared on Sakura and Sasuke foreheads, Haku just started laughing when an extremely pissed of Naruto appeared on the road dragging a bandage Zanbato.

"Why did you leave me behind you jerks." screamed Naruto as he finally caught up with his team, Haku started laughing even harder as Sasuke jump on Naruto and started choking him. Kakashi stood from the rock and lifted Sasuke up by the back of his shirt.

"Your going too slow, pick up the pace idiot!!." Screamed Sasuke still being held in the air by Kakashi.

"It's not my fault this sword is heavy as hell." screamed Naruto as he tried to pick up the sword to hit Sasuke. Kakashi released Sasuke and they all started walking again towards the village.

Naruto was again left behind by the group, Naruto was walking really slowly dragging Zabuza sword, he started thinking about all that happen in the mission, about when he met Zabuza for the first time, when Kakashi taught them tree walking and the final fight between Kakashi and Zabuza, and of how he killed all those men.

"I wonder how I did that?" Naruto thought as he got mad and lifted the sword and rested it on his shoulder, he fell backwards shortly after that, the sword hit him strait in the forehead and he was knock unconscious.

Deep inn Naruto's mindscape.

Naruto found himself in a sewer full of water, he started walking until he saw a huge gate, when he walked next to the gate he saw a seal holding the gate shut, the kanji on the seal said…seal.

"What the hell, were am I?" asked Naruto when a huge amount of killer intent froze him in his track, inside the gate two huge red slited eyes opened up and stared at Naruto.

"I see you finally came for a visit little brat." said the fox as Naruto stared wide eye as the fox step forward revealing his body and the 9 tails behind it.

"So you're the Nine Tailed Demon Fox huh?" said Naruto as the fox just looked surprised.

"Wow I was expecting like 20 minutes of you freaking out about meeting me." Naruto just glared at the fox offended, he walked forward and step right in front of the gate.

"Your not that scary and I decide when Mizuki told me about you that I will try to be friends with you." The demon just went more wide eyed at the little genin statement.

"You want to be friends?" asked the fox, Naruto just gave it a foxy grin and held his hand inside the gate.

"Sure, it looks like where stuck with each other so, why not try to be friends." the fox gave the blonde a smile and started to change, he transformed from a huge red demon fox in to a man, he had the same eyes as the Kyuubi and whisker marks like Naruto he also had long red hair in a pony tail he was wearing shinobi combat pants, a tight dark red shirt and a long black leather jacket that reached his ankles it had a nine tailed fox in a picture in the back of the jacket, he had on a silver necklace with 9 red beads on it. He walked towards the gate and shook Naruto's hand.

"Good to meet you Naruto, my name is Kyuubi but my friends call me Kyu." Naruto gave the fox a smiled and then suddenly stared at it.

"What!, why the hell are you staring?" asked Kyu a little annoyed.

"You have friends?" asked Naruto, the Kyuubi just laughed and pulled out a picture of himself and 8 other shinobi looking guys.

"Yep, this are my friends, they are the other tailed demons." Naruto gave Kyu a sheepish smiled, of course the Kyuubi no Kitsune was friends with the other Demon lords.

Naruto and the Kyu talked for hours, they talked about what happened in the bridge, his new sword, and then they started talking about his abilities.

"Naruto we need to talk about your abilities…you have none." the comment made the blonde jump in the air and scream in angeruntil Kyu stood up and released some chakra to shut the blonde up.

"Naruto if you can please tell me all your techniques and you style of taijutsu?" said the Man fox as Naruto stopped arguing to answer.

"Well I have the Shadow Clones, the Substitution jutsu, the sexy jutsu and…I use the academy style of taijutsu" Naruto realized that he only knew 3 actual jutsu compare to his teammates and sensei that knew really powerful jutsu hell they even Sakura use her family taijutsu style, he started to get a little down until Kyu started talking.

"Don't worry Naruto I'll help you as much as I can with jutsu and taijutsu but I don't know anything about Kenjutsu so you'll have to find a person to teach you sword techniques I suggest you ask the Hokage he should know someone." Naruto started jumping for joy he finally had someone to help him become a good shinobi, sure he had Kakashi but Kakashi only taught him and Sakura teamwork and the only person he taught actual jutsus was Sasuke.

"Thanks but why are you helping me so much." the Kyuubi just smiled and lifted his shirt revealing a seal just like Naruto had in his stomach.

"Were link by this seal, if you die in a mission, I die…and since I don't want to die, also you're my friend." the fox smiled and pulled his shirt back down. Naruto was ecstatic not only did he have a new friend but also a teacher that could make Kakashi his bitch.

"Naruto now it's time to go back to reality I'll talk to you later." the Kyuubi waved his hand and Naruto was sent back to reality.

When Naruto woke up he found himself surrounded by his 4 teammates, all were staring at him. Naruto stood up and bended down to pick up the huge sword, he prepare himself for the huge weight of the sword he picked up the handle and found the sword no longer heavy, he lifted it why one hand and got a shock look from his teammates.

"What the hell, why isn't heavy?" thought Naruto as he swung the sword. Suddenly he jumped in the air as a voice in his head started to talked to him.

"Naruto calm yourself is me." said the Kyuubi and Naruto calmed down and stop looking around for the voice.

"Dude you scared me, warm me or something before you do that." thought Naruto as he started swinging his sword.

"Are you the reason I can lift this thing?" the Kyuubi chuckled.

"Yep only till you get to the village then were going to start our training so you can wield the sword with you own strength." said the Kyuubi as Naruto thanked him and picked up his bag and started walking towards the village with his team behind him still wondering how the blond could suddenly lift his sword without difficulty.

Konoha Main Gate

Kakashi and the 4 teens walked into the village, Kakashi sent Sasuke and Sakura home and took Naruto and Haku to the Hokage to give his report.

They were walking slow cause the moment Naruto entered the village he swords weight came back and Naruto was now dragging the bandage sword again muttering curses about funny foxes, in his mindscape he could hear the fox laughing like a mad man.

They entered the Hokage's office and Naruto sat in a chair with the sword in front of him much to the surprise of the Hokage. Kakashi and Haku entered the office and Haku sat next to Naruto and waited for Kakashi to finished his report, then as he finished he stood back and pulled out his book and started reading, then the Hokage motion for Haku to stand up, Haku did just that and stood up to face the Hokage.

"So young man from what Kakashi told my your jounin level, but rules here say you have to pass a test to become jounin, so you will start as a chunin an work your way up…is that clear." Haku nodded and started the paperwork that the Hokage gave him.

"Also, since you have a bloodline you get a clan house and a seat in the council of Clans." Sarutobi said as he pressed the button to call his secretary.

"Also according to the Konoha Clan legislation every last member of a blood line can take multiple wives to ensure the survival of the clan." Said Sarutobi as he handed Haku a book title "Konoha Clan Laws". at that moment the secretary entered the room.

"Maui-san can you get me a Konoha headband, make the cloth blue please." said the Hokage as he kept signing some paperwork.

"Hai Hokage-sama." the secretary left and came back a couple of seconds later with a blue Konoha headband. She gave the headband to the Hokage and left the room.

"So Haku-san do you agree to the rules and regulation I just said." said the Hokage as he looked at the young boy in front of him. Haku nodded happily and bowed, the Hokage gave him a smile and handed the headband to Haku.

"Kakashi please go with Haku to the store and help her get supplies and a chunin vest, also here." the Hokage took out some keys and threw them at Haku. Haku had a confuse look on his face until the Hokage spoke up.

"Those are the keys to your clan house, it's on district 28...Kakashi-san will show you where and Kakashi your team have the week off." Kakashi and Haku bowed and left, Kakashi in a swirled of leafs and Haku in a shatter of ice.

"An ice shunshin'd…cool" thought the Hokage as he turned his eyes too look at Naruto, who was staring at the spot Haku was a second a ago.

"An ice shunshin'd…that's cool." said the blonde as the Hokage laughed, Naruto saw this and stood up and bowed with a foxy grin to the Hokage.

"So Naruto, I heard you got a sword." said the Hokage while looking at the huge sword behind Naruto.

"Yeah but I have trouble using it…I was hoping you could help me with that." the Hokage notice the serious look on Naruto's face.

"I don't know Naruto, are you sure you can handle it." Naruto got a determined look in his eyes and grinned furiously. Naruto turned and with all his strength picked up his sword and rested it on his shoulder.

"Hahaha that's great Naruto, if you take this seriously then I bet you'll make a great shinobi." the Hokage pulled out a scroll and wrote something on it. Then he rolled it up and with a letter opener nicked his thumb and did performed handseals then he slammed his hand on his desk and a tiny smoke cloud appeared were his hand touched, when the smoked cleared a tiny monkey in red armor stood in front of the Hokage.

"Chim take this scroll to Amachi-san and hurry." the little monkey bowed, then grabbed the scroll and jumped out the window and preceded to jump from roof to roof at extremely high speeds. Naruto was looking through the window watching the monkey in awe.

"Naruto tomorrow you and me will take a little trip, so go get ready for a week long trip." Naruto bowed and left to go get ready, he left the sword in the Hokage's office and ran to go get some supplies and food for the group.

Naruto got to the food market and with a quick hence he transformed in to Sasuke and started shopping for food."

"Hey Naruto why are you dressed like that jackass teammate of your's." Naruto jumped a little not really accustomed to the fox speaking to him just yet.

"Dude!! Warning you scared me half to death." thought Naruto as he started to pick up the food he knock over.

"Sorry, I'm just curious." said the Fox as he laughed, which annoyed Naruto a lot.

"I made myself look like Sasuke-teme causepeople treat him nice and don't throw him out of the store, hell sometimes they give me discounts just cause I looked like him." Said Naruto as he finished paying for the food, he left the store and hid in an alley to released the hence.

He then went to the only shinobi weapon and supplies store that treated him well and bought some new shurikens a set of new kunais, some ninja wire, a new kunai and shuriken holster and some soldier and blood supplements pills, also at the urging of Kyuubi some blank scrolls, some ink and a brush, and a new Fuma shuriken he tried to look for a sword strap big enough to carry the sword on his back but none the store had could handle the size and weigh.

As Naruto was walking home he felt a tugging in the back of his mind, Naruto knew that was the way from Kyuubi to warm him that he was about to talk.

"Hey Naruto, we also need some new clothes." Naruto gave him a annoyed sight and mentally asked him why.

"Cause if you keep wearing this hideous orange jumpsuit is going to get us killed." Naruto had to admit the Kyuubi had a good point but the think was that most of the stores threw him out and the only one he found that allowed him to buy stuff only sold him the orange jumpsuit, probably so he would get killed by the enemy ninja he encountered…bastards!!, thought Naruto as he place his hands in a sealed and hence himself to look like Sasuke again.

Naruto saw a little clothing store, he had never entered cause he was scared of the big scary looking owner but today he got the courage to go in as he entered the clothing store the owner appeared in front of him and placed a hand on his shoulder, he then knelt down to look at the boy eye to eye.

"Son I'm a retired shinobi, I can sense the hence you have on yourself…now drop it or get out." Naruto was shocked that he had being found out Naruto made a handseal and released the hence.

"Your Naruto, aren't you." said the shock store owner as Naruto got sad and turned to leave the store. The man grabbed Naruto by the shoulder and turned him, Naruto got scared and pulled out a kunai to defend himself, the retired shinobi just twisted his wrist and took the kunai from him.

"Ok if you going to beat me please do it fast I have to go get ready for a mission." Naruto closed his eyes as he said that, the store owner just sighed loudly and stood up.

"I'm not going to hit you Naruto, here you can have this back." the store owner handed Naruto back the kunai gave the boy a smile.

"Your not going to throw me out." the man shook and smiled again.

"Your not going to overcharge me or sell me ripped stuff are you." the man shook his head again, on the inside the man was mad, how can people treat a little boy so bad, to beat him and throw him out of stores or worse to over charge him for ripped stuff just cause of something he has no control over.

"No Naruto in here you don't have to worry about being treated bad, I promise in here I'll always treat you with the respect you deserve." Naruto looked at the man like he grew a second head, the man saw the looked on the little blonde's face and laughed.

"You do know about the thing in my stomach right?" asked Naruto as the man nodded and walked towards his counter and pulled out a photo with he handed to Naruto.

Naruto looked at the photo and saw the store owner and another shinobi, he was a littler skinnier in the photo but the only thing that had really change was his clothes and he no longer wore his headband, but what shocked Naruto the most was the shinobi he was standing next to, it was the Yondaime Hokage Minato Namikaze.

"I was one of the few shinobi who could called the Yondaime a friend, and I was there that night he sealed the Kyuubi no Kitsune in you and I trust his abilities as a seal's master, so I know your just the child with a huge burden in your shoulder and I admire you for that." the man smiled as he took the picture and stored it in his counter.

"So what can I help you with." Naruto explained his dilemma with the orange jumpsuits and the man told him to look around to see if he saw anything he liked.

After a couple of minutes looking Naruto found something he wanted he bought a couple of long sleeve dark orange shirts, five black combat pants with many pockets for storing scrolls and his personal stuff, also he bought two pairs of black combat boots and a couple of plated fingerless gloves with the Konoha symbol, he bought everything except the boots and the gloves, 2 sizes to big to leave room to grow in to them. Then Naruto when to the owner to see if he had anything with a hole in the back.

"A hole in the back, why do you need something like that?" asked the owner of the store, Naruto the proceeded to tell the man about his mission to wave and how he inherited Zabuza's zanbato and that he need something with a hole in the back so the strap holding the sword could go through it when he found one that could handle the size of his sword.

The owner thought about if for a moment and then got a smile on his face, he stood up and went to the back of the store a couple of minutes later he came back with a 4 black vests with a hole in the back, the vests weren't chunin or jounin vests as they had no pockets in front, they had some buttons attached to the front and also had some seals on their side.

"What are the seals for?" Naruto asked while the man opened a book and looked through it, after a couple of seconds he found the page he was looking for and handed the book to Naruto. Naruto read the page and gasped at what he read.

"There gravity seals, there really good for training, you only have to applied chakra to them and the vest become heavier. The weight depends on the chakra you applied, the more chakra the more weight." said the man and Naruto just stared at the vests with wide eyes.

"Thank you so much…eh I forgot to asked your name sir." said Naruto, the man just laughed.

"My name is Kenji, Kenji Matsumoto." he held out his hand and Naruto shook his hand giving the man a smile, not the fake one he use around town to hide his sadness but a true happy smile, which cause the man to smile also.

Naruto paid left the store, when he was a couple of feet from the store he heard he owner shout his name from inside the store, Naruto stopped and turned to the store to see the man running to him with something in his hand.

"Here you go Naruto a gift from me to you." Said the man when he finally reached Naruto he then handed him a belt, it was black army belt made from high quality material but what caught Naruto's attention was the belt buckle, it was a metal plate with a drawing of a grinning red fox.

"I can't take this, it's too nice let me pay for it." Naruto tried to give Kenji some cash for it but the man only shook his head,

"It's a gift Naruto just take it and shut up, besides not many people around here like foxes." said the man smiling, Naruto then placed his bags on the floor and hugged the man while saying thanks, the man gave the boy a small hug bag and ruffled his hair, Naruto took the belt and stored it in his bags then after saying goodbye to Kenji he left to his apartment.

"He was nice and that belt is awesome it's looks like me." Naruto nodded and kept walking towards his apartment.

"Yeah now I have another precious person, I can't wait to tell Haku." said Naruto as he reached his apartment Naruto entered his bedroom and after he placed his extra close and items in his travel bag he took of his orange jumpsuit and threw in the trash.

Next Day

Naruto was walking towards the gate wearing his new clothes, he found the clothes more liberating as they weren't as tight as he's old jumpsuits he took his huge travel backpack full of food and clothes. He walked towards the gate he saw the Hokage how was dressed a jounin, what he found strange was that the Hokage didn't have his sword around, as a matter of fact the Hokage didn't have anything on him but a few scrolls he had stored in the front of his vest.

"Hey old man where's my sword." asked Naruto looking around to see if the Hokage had laid the sword against something while waiting for him to arrive.

"And why didn't you bring food or clothes, you did say that it was a week long trip?" asked Naruto holding his huge backpack a little annoyed.

"Yes I did Naruto I did say it was a week long trip, it's just that I have all my stuff stored in scrolls." said the Hokage as Naruto had the most confuse look on his face, when the Hokage figured out the look on Naruto's face he pulled out a blue scroll he had on his vest and threw it at Naruto.

"Open the scroll, place your hand in the square inside and add some chakra." said the Hokage as Naruto opened the scroll, there was a lot of stuff written inside, in the middle of the scroll there was a square, Naruto placed his hand on it and added chakra to the scroll a cloud of smoke appeared around the scroll and when it cleared there was Naruto's Sword on top of the scroll.

"And to store stuff you just put them on top of the scroll and add more chakra, you can have that scroll to store your stuff." as the Hokage said that Naruto threw his back on the scroll and with a little more chakra the backpack was stored in the scroll. Naruto stored the scroll in one of his many pant pockets and with a huge smile and using all his strength he picked up his sword and started walking towards the gate.

"Why didn't you seal it with the sword?" asked the Hokage as he also started walking next to Naruto and as they exited the Village Naruto fell backwards, the Hokage had to stifle a laugh as the blonde stood up muttering curses.

"I need to get used to the weight." said Naruto answering the Hokage's past question. The Hokage was impressed as he saw the determination in Naruto's eyes as he rested the sword on his shoulder and continued walking.

"And where exactly are we going old man?" asked the Naruto as he balance himself to not fall backwards again.

"Where going to find you a sensei Naruto?" Naruto was so shocked by the answer that he lost his balance and fell backwards…again.………………………………................................................................................................
