Kibo Walked over to the room where Zabuza was sitting on a large bed, "How much longer, do you think it will take!?" Zabuza asked, "Maybe an hour or so." Kibo replied, as he sat down in a chair, in his hand was Gato"s gla.s.ses. He just got done filtering through all of the screwed up deeds that man was responsible for, he felt like he had watched 1,000 hours of the most disgusting horror films nonstop. However he got the information he was after, the Mine was located in a group of hillsides tunnels only 80 miles from the village"s location. After drawing a detailed map, he wrote down all of Gato"s crimes and where they could find evidence, as well as a list of highly political names that were connected to the crime syndicate, along with all the blackmail material Gato had on them. After this mission he would give this dossier to the Hokage and it would be handed off to local authorities to deal with the non Shin.o.bi, and the Ninja criminals would put in the Bingo book to be hunted down at a later time.Kibo then took off the gla.s.ses and crushed them, "Disgusting!" Kibo said out loud, for once he was glad the information left with the object, instead of staying in his head. "So this is it?" Zabuza said looking at the map, "Yeah, it shouldn"t take long to reach there; we just have to clean up the garbage gathering outside."
After the four stayed still for almost two hours, a pounding knock could be heard at the gated door. Kibo put on the Gato disguise and the other"s made themselves look like some of the followers that they killed. As they walked out they saw at least 120 gathered when Kibo said, "Is this everyone!?"
"Yes sir! Other than the Miners who are hard at work, we made sure to gather everyone!" The thug said as he rubbed his hands together. Kibo smiled and spoke as he removed his transformation Jutsu. "Good then you can all join you boss in h.e.l.l!" Kibo and the rest began killing their targets with ease, Kakashi used an earth Jutsu to lock them in a walled off barrier, while Kibo hacked through dozens of them without spilling a drop of blood on him.
Zabuza cut through multiple people at the same time with his executioner sword, thanks to high number of victims the Kubikiribōchō had almost completely recovered by absorbing the iron from his foe"s blood. Kibo noticed something strange every time Zabuza cut down a foe; a dark type of Chakra entered his body and seemed to help it grow. It looked like he was absorbing the malice and hate of his victims at the moments of their deaths. Kibo wondered if this was some kind of Kin-Jutsu that Zabuza practiced.
Haku had no problems, as his speed and bloodline ability kept him safe, he jumped about in his ice mirrors throwing his Senbon needles, every time they hit it claimed a life. Kakashi was no worse; he seemed to be enjoying Raijin"s compatibility with his techniques quite a lot, "Got to ask him, to make me one!" Kakashi thought as he sliced through three people at the same time, with a lightning blade that extended 7 feet beyond Raijin"s range.
Kibo was like a blur amongst the combatants, every few seconds; body parts and organs flew around him in a whirlwind of blood and gore. Kibo saw they had been fighting only for a few minutes, and already the crowd looked much smaller. Kibo wanting to finish quickly, used his Wind Lord"s Step Jutsu, his body moved so fast it seemed to have disappeared. The entire battlefield shook as a shock wave of immense wind echoed out from his location, when Kibo reappeared as every bandit and thug froze, they stood still till the click of Kibo"s sword being sheathed signaled their deaths.
Gato"s men all spewed blood before their heads rolled off their necks and fell to the ground, Kibo began gathering the bodies and stacking them on top each other. With a single Great Yang Fire Ball he destroyed the entire pile of corpses into ashes along with the compound. Kibo then sprouted his wings before saying "Zabuza, Haku, accompany Kakashi back to the village. I"m going to collect everything in that mine." The two bowed to Kibo, when Kakashi asked, "Can you carry all of it? I have a few s.p.a.ce Sealing Scrolls if you need them!" Kibo laughed then said "I have my ways!"
With a quick thrust of his wings he flew off in the direction of the mine, it didn"t take him long to find the location on the map, there were signs of movement inside a hill side tunnel, Kibo recognized them as more of Gato"s men, without any hesitation he killed them all. With this, all of Gato"s men had been removed from the face of the island. Kibo ventured into the mine, near the entry there was already a large stock pile of Chakra Ore. The metal had waves of Chakra emitting from them so powerful one could see it rippling of its surface like rising flames. Collecting the h.o.a.rd gathered before him, Kibo than said "Navi can you scan the whole mine."
"If host sends a Chakra pulse into the earth, than yes." Navi replied.
Kibo placed his hand on the ground and sent out a strong pulse wave into the earth, after a minute had pa.s.sed Navi responded, "There"s approximately 2,310 Cubic Meters of Chakra metal, and there are 4 different Chakra signatures coming from the different ores types." Kibo was stoked, this meant that there were more metals that contained different unique abilities, for instance the ore from Zabuza"s sword had a regenerative ability attached to it, and the Mizukage"s sword Hiramekarei was made with an ore that allows one to shape it with their Chakra. Kibo then asked "Can you pull it all in to the storage, without compromising the cave structure?"
"Yes, but it will take an hour to fill the cavities with earth." Navi stated as Kibo"s wait began.
During this entire time Naruto and the rest of team 7 had seen the poor condition of the village, and felt obligated to help them. At first everyone paid little attention to him, but when 100 shadow clones began running around repairing the village while hunting for food, they started to join in. The rest of Team 7 had started helping in the activities too, Sasuke went out to fish, Sakura helped make clothes and cooked, Karin took care of the sick and injured, while Hinata gathered fruits and herbs from the forest.
When Kakashi showed up Zabuza stated that the village looked nothing like this before the 8 hours or so they had been gone. It wasn"t just the repairs but the atmosphere around the people. When Tazuna came back he explained "It"s that darn Naruto!" He said with a tear in his eye, "He got in an argument with my grand kid and went off shouting that he"d show him a how a real hero is supposed to act."
After explaining their history with Gato"s arrival, and the death of his son in law at his hands he continued. "When they got done shouting at each other Naruto left the house, but sometime later some of Gato"s men dressed in mining gear tried to accost his Inari"s mother." Naruto kicked the c.r.a.p out of them, and sent them running back to the mine, where they were killed by Kibo hours later.
He didn"t stop there though, Naruto started to help the villagers one by one. He talked to them, got to know them and their names, hobbies, and occupations, afterwards while he was helping them to improved their living condition Naruto realized his Ninja way, and the kind of Hokage he wanted to be. Naruto wasn"t just helping them live better; he was healing their spirits and wounded hearts.
Kakashi showed a rare and serene smile and thought, "Yondaime if you could see your son now."
Meanwhile Kibo had just finished pulling up all the ore, and after dividing it he discovered the 4 Chakra properties of the ores he collected. Around 70% of the Chakra ore was the most basic kind without any additional properties other than being perfectly tuned to handle Chakra; the remaining 30% were unique Chakra ores. The percentages were. . .
[7% Crimson Fire Chakra Ore(Rank S): Capable of forging wondrous treasures with fire affinities.]
[13% Regenerating Chakra Ore(Rank S): Capable of forging wondrous treasures with regeneration abilities.]
[10% Chakra Diamond Ore(Rank S): Capable of forging wondrous treasures with immaculate durability.]
Kibo smiled as he jumped for joy, right now he could be considered to be the wealthiest man on the planet, if a single legendary sword could be sold to purchase an entire empire, than he had enough to buy the world. "No wonder Gato was so obsessed with this land. Well my gain now." Kibo opened his wings and flew towards the village, when he got there; he was surprised to see such a festive mood on the villager"s faces.
"Nii Chan!" Kibo heard Naruto calling to him in the distance, he flew over and dissipated his wings, when he landed Naruto ran up to him to play a hundred questions. "Did you really take out the whole gang with Kakashi Sensei? Are Zabuza and Haku coming home with us? Did you get some good stuff? Will you make me a weapon too?"
Kibo calmed Naruto down and told him "Yes, together with Kakashi, Zabuza, and Haku"s help Gato and his organization is no more. Yes they will be coming home with us; they now act as Guardian Nin for our family. That"s an S cla.s.s secret, you don"t have high enough clearance to know, and yes, I will make you something." Kibo answered in one breath.
Kibo took in a breath of air when he looked around, Naruto"s clones were still hard at work; Kibo summoned out fifty of his own clones and started a.s.sisting in various ways. Kibo then walked over to Tazuna and asked "When will the bridge be done?"
"About a half a week, if Naruto continues to provide the extra manual labor." Kibo thanked Tazuna and headed inside his house; that he so kindly let them stay in. After stepping into the living room Kibo saw Kakashi and Yamato sitting together with Zabuza and Haku. The group was in the middle of eating and discussing what Zabuza and Haku"s living arrangement would be like when they moved to Konoha, as they noticed Kibo walked in Zabuza and Haku bowed to Kibo, which made Yamato very surprised.
"Glad that you made it here safely Yamato Sensei." Kibo said with a warm smile, "You took care of the issue?" Kakashi questioned.
Kibo threw his hand up and made an O.K sign with his finger and thumb, Zabuza, and Haku showed happy expressions, when he sat down. "So did you bring what I asked?" Kibo held out his hand to Yamato. After pulling out a scroll he laid it across the table, an old Land of the Waves map was strewn out, that showed were several villages and islands used to be. A single spot was circled and had the symbol of the Uzumaki clan on it.
The destination was about a day"s ride by gondola from here, and since the Land of Whirlpools was so close to the Land of Waves, Kibo thought if he took them by flying, as long as nothing unexpected happened they should be able to head there and back in less than a day.
Kibo rolled the doc.u.ment up and placed it in his inventory. "I"m curious as to why your headed there, mind informing me?" Kakashi asked, when Kibo replied, "I want to take Karin, and Naruto there while our clones act as replacement guards. After all they are the only known surviving members of their clan, there might be something left for them there as an inheritance, and it couldn"t hurt to learn of their ancestors."
"Those two are Uzumaki!?" Zabuza said in surprise, when Haku asked about them, "The Uzumaki are distantly related to the Senju, and were rumored to be direct descendants of Asura Ōtsutsuki. They"re born possessing incredibly strong life forces, as such, they have very long lifespans and likewise seem to age slower; Mito Uzumaki was born before the founding of Konoha yet lived well into the reign of the Third Hokage while still retaining her youthful looks. Some members also born with incredible levels and a unique form of Chakra. It has special properties which made them especially well-suited to become Jinchūriki as well as produce Adamantine Chains made from their own immense Chakra."
Kibo laughed at that last part, the reason they didn"t call the Uzumaki bloodline ability a Kekkei Genkai was because they didn"t know what element it belonged to. They failed to understand that it was a Metal Element Kekkei Genkai derived from the constant reemergence of the Truth Seeking Spheres in their linage. They truly were Asura"s decedents and during one of his many reincarnations he adapted to the metal spheres so well that they became the Adamantine Chains Kekkei Genkai that we all know of today.
Kakashi raised a brow, "You know an awful lot about the Uzumaki Clan." he commented as Zabuza said response, "Of course we know, after all Kirigakure played a part in their destruction."
