Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: The battle of the Great Naruto Bridge

Unfinished Bridge

After Naruto killed the thugs

Osamu watched in surprise. He did taught his team to kill, but he didn't teach them to be ruthless, especially Naruto.

The child of prophecy.

'Was it because he is assuming all thugs did that to women?' thought Osamu as he heard Zabuza pitting Haku with his and Gai's students.

While Zabuza himself grabbed his executioner's blade and charged towards them.

Zabuza instantly destroyed a portion of the bridge as Gai and Osamu dodge his attack.

Osamu brought out two kunai held on each hand while Gai simply did his signature 'Bruce Lee' stance.

The two charge at Zabuza. Kunai and fist coming towards the rogue nin which he simply blocked with his wide blade.

Deflecting their attacks flawlessly Zabuza initiate another horizontal slash.

Gai moved to dodge while Osamu blocked it with his Kunai which surprised Zabuza.

The strength behind that horizontal slash was not something anyone can casually block, especially with a kunai.

But Osamu, utilizing his physical energy, easily distributed his strength to block Zabuza's attack.

Osamu threw the other kunai on his left hand upon blocking the slash which was an instant move prompting Zabuza to dodge by leaning his body.

But that was a mistake since Gai found it as an opening sending a kick towards Zabuza's side launching him away.

Scccrreeeeecccchhhhh!!

Zabuza skidded on the bridge's floor and he stopped the momentum using his blade.

As soon as he did so, he immediately formed seals in quick succession.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"

Water below the bridge rose up and formed a dragon made of water above Zabuza.

As soon as it formed, it immediately launched itself towards Osamu and Gai's direction.

The former already done forming hand seals.

"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Jutsu!"

(AN: His natures are wind and lightning. But as Lady Katsuyu said. It doesn't mean he can't perform other element's Ninjutsu. This one only one of the jutsu he learned during the skip.)

Osamu inhaled a mouthful of air just in time and blew it off as flames came out and formed a dragon to counter the water dragon.

More chakra was chakra was used than normal due to the element being not his nature.

As soon as both jutsu hit each other they turned to mist.

Zabuza made his move as his figure disappeared utilizing the silent killing technique.

Unfortunately for him, Gai with his great battle instinct and Osamu with his Shuchu state were able to avoid his move and even counter him.

Osamu sometimes block the executioner's blade while Gai follows up with a devastating punch or kick.

Zabuza however didn't give up and was thrilled to have this kind of fight with this kind of opponents!

They were in 'his' territory yet they weren't simply putting up a fight but also fighting back!

This went on for a few minutes before Osamu managed to hold his blade using the hole near it's tip.

Osamu held back the executioner's blade's return with his Kunai after Zabuza slashed it prompting Zabuza to be stuck in a moment.

Which was enough for Gai to launch a very strong punch which sent Zabuza flying leaving his blade.

Osamu, mercilessly didn't let that moment go and used Zabuza's own blade to end him.

But before he could bring the blade down, Haku came and protected his master.

Any other protagonist or character or even reincarnator like him would've hesitated.

A hero maybe? Out of pity?

Or a villain? Because they would be valuable underlings?

Or maybe as a human or a good person? Because it's the right thing to do?

Well, scratch all that.

Osamu is not one of those.

No.

If he was, he wouldn't have exposed Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata with killing scums.

It all comes down to this question.

If they were weaker than Zabuza and Haku?

Would they spare them too?

Osamu didn't even hesitate or blinked.

Using Zabuza's own weapon, he decapitated Haku in single motion and Zabuza the next.

Just then as he finished killing them, a very unfortunate man came with a lot of lackeys behind him.

"What useless Shinobi.! Couldn't even kill a fucking kid. Well, not that I was planning to pay him anyway. You guys must be exhausted. Sorry but, this is nothing personal, it's just good business. And you guys are dead!"

Kill them!!!

The army of thugs he brought had weapons with them, they must have number about a hundred or more based on the way they filled up the bridge.

They didn't waste time and charged at Gai, Osamu, Naruto, Sasuke, Neiji and Lee.

Tazuna Residence

A few moments earlier

Hinata and Tenten were guarding tazuna's home, more precisely Inari and Tsunami.

This was a sound plan since not even a few hours passed when the house was invaded by three thugs.

This men wear instructed by gato to kidnap the mother and son pair.

Hinata simply made a quick work of them using the gentle fist style meanwhile tenten stayed close to the mother and son pair.

The two Genins stayed there and continued their duty which was assigned to them by their sensei.

Meanwhile on the bridge.

Haku rushed towards the group of 4 Genins with Senbons in hand.

He wasn't even bothered with their numbers as he launched numerous senbons at the four Genins.

They all evaded it successfully but it was enough for Haku to send Naruto away with a kick.

Sasuke rushed afterwards seizing Haku's Blindspot after attacking with fireball Jutsu.

Unfortunately for him a mirror of ice blocked his attack.

That however was just the start as Lee and Neiji came after him.

With the onslaught of the two Taijutsu practitioner, they were able to push Haku back. Naruto joined the fray leaving Haku no more escape.

The latter seeing the disadvantage created ice mirrors around them trapping the all of four of them.

Haku casually entered a mirror to avoid the trio's attack on him. As soon as he did so, Haku flew from one mirror to another so fast the four of them couldn't follow.

Soon, senbons once again rained down on them, but this time way more than earlier.

How much senbons Haku has in his person? No one knew but he made a porcupine to the 3 of them besides Neiji who protected himself with the Hakkeshou Kaiten.

The 3 fell down by the attack they received leaving Neiji the only one standing.

"Which one is more important to you, yourself? Or your allies?" Haku asked as he was about to deliver the final nail to the coffin.

Once this time ice spikes materialized and aimed at the trio. Neiji had a sweat ran down his face upon this development.

"You still haven't won yet! I am not losing to you, I will definitely become a Hokage!" Naruto gritted his teeth as he forced himself to stand.

Sasuke and Lee also did the same.

All of them held a kunai in their hands with the intentions to block or avoid the ice spikes which Haku summoned and most probably will launch towards them.

But before Haku could attack them, he felt something wrong and saw Zabuza was about to be killed.

With great speed, Haku dashed to protect his master with arms wide open in front of Zabuza.

The executioner's blade however didn't show mercy as it separated his head from his body which was soon followed by Zabuza.

Seeing Gato's men rush towards them, Osamu didn't bother and signals his students to get rid of them.

Naruto and Sasuke came to him and looked him in the eyes.

"Not one alive."

Naruto and Sasuke nodded. The two Genins, frustrated with their performance against Haku disappeared from the thugs' sight.

That day, the bridge that Tazuna and the others build flowed with blood of thugs and painted the sea below it red.

The Great Naruto Bridge which was supposed to be the name of the bridge was no longer applicable.

When it was finished, it was then called...

"The Shinobi Bridge."
