 Metallic Fox Chapter 03
   A/N: The idea for the back-up was that enough was to appear to make all
the teams appear to help Team 7.  I might have mess up on the number, but I
feel it was enough to make Hiruzen send the three teams from Konoha and get
help from Suna.
Kakashi gotten everyone to the bridge two days later as Naruto and
Sakura seem a little different to him.  Mist appear as lightning appear to
head towards the group as Sakura block it with a shield made of black
chakra then looks forward.  The two groups separated as Kakashi found
himself facing against Zabuza.  Kurenai is outnumber by fighting against
Zudith and Xudith as the two sisters send kunais at Kurenai.  Kurenai
avoids the kunais as she got ready to use a genjutsu.  Zudith sends a huge
fireball at Kurenai as Naruto grab Kurenai and dodge the attack. 
"Kurenai-sensei, I think that these two are too much for you.  Look at
them," Naruto said as Kurenai saw that Zudith has her right arm on fire
while Xudith has her whole body turn into mist.  "Elemental Girls.  Damn,
I'm not good enough to fight against them," Kurenai said as Naruto gather
chakra into both of his hands.  "I try to get them with this attack and you
get ready to attack them," Naruto said as he disappear.
   Zudith turn around and try to kick Naruto, but she notice that she
kicked an clone as Naruto appear from the smoke and hit Zudith towards
Kurenai.  She didn't close her eyes and Kurenai trapped Zudith in a
genjutsu as Xudith turn into water and move towards Zudith.  "Lightning
Style: Lightning Stream," Naruto said as he sends a stream of lightning at
where Xudith would land next shocking her since she left behind a puddle of
water at that spot.  Naruto and Kurenai were about to walk away when Zudith
and Xudith got up as Zudith turns into magma and Xudith turn into snow. 
"That was annoying, but we will just end this now," Zudith said as she
launch a bunch of magma at Naruto and Kurenai.  The attack was blocked by
bodies that appear in the path.  "Was those some of Gatou's people?  Is he
trying to betray us," Xudith said as Zudith decided to take her sister and
find where Gatou might be.
"I wonder where those bodies came from," Kurenai said as at Tazuna's
place, Naledi is protecting Tazuna's family as she is throwing thugs away
from the place.  Back at the bridge, Sakura has found Ino who is fighting
against Keniji as he was fighting Gai a second ago.  "What happen to
Gai-sensei?" Sakura asked Ino as Ino told her that Gai was hit by lighting
from someone and is over by a railing.  "Keniji, hurry up as I really want
the money from killing that old fool.  We might even get to keep the
women," said Granyu as he is waiting.  Keniji vanish then reappear in from
of Sakura and Ino as he sends his giant fist towards the girls.  "Kage Tate
(Shadow Shield)," said Sakura said as she created a shield made of darkness
that has spikes on it as Keniji's right fist is bleeding.
   "Fucking bitches, now I will smash you to pieces," Keniji said as Sakura
punch him in the stomach making blood flow from his mouth.  Keniji growls
as he starts to grow to a huge size then tries to stomp Sakura.  Sakura
disappear as she reforms on top of Keniji's head then she punch Keniji on
the top of his head as he fell over.  Keniji gotten up when a sword is sent
through his body as Granyu gotten bored.  "Well, I get your cut now as I
will take care of these girls," Granyu said as he pull the sword out of
Keniji's heart then dash towards Sakura and Ino.  Ino sends vines from her
forearms at Granyu as he dodge them.  Granyu throws his sword as Sakura
created a portal of darkness energy in front of her and Ino.  "Take it
back," Sakura said as the sword is send back at Granyu.  Granyu caught his
sword as he yawns then forms a big steel mallet.
   Granyu swings the mallet as Sakura grab the head of the mallet.  Granyu
lift the mallet in the air with Sakura still holding on as Ino sent a vine
at Granyu wrapping it around his torso.  Granyu look down as he is about to
slam the mallet down on the vine when Sakura snaps his neck.  "Thanks, but
I think that we took too long there some people heading towards us," Sakura
said as she stabs Granyu's heart.  Thugs jump from the mist to attack
Sakura and Ino when Naruto kick them away from the girls.  Naruto told the
girls that he can't find the sand team anywhere.  Somewhere near the
bridge, Gaara is dodging attacks from Timur as Kankurou is already out of
the fight thanks to Timur's ability.  Timur stomp on the ground as an
explosion happen with Gaara moving away from him.  Gaara smirks as he move
the sand from the area and surround Timur as he crush Timur to death. 
"Where is she now, Temari was here when we started to fight him," Gaara
said as he sighs.
   Temari woke up to be surrounded by thugs as Tenten is knocked out from
when Temari was sent away by Timur and crash into Tenten.  Temari and
Tenten were about to get attack when Naruto, Sakura, and Ino saved them
from the thugs.  The dead thugs got up as Mitsune is controlling them with
her chakra.  "Bidia is doing nothing and Oswald isn't even trying so I just
use him to help me," Mitsune said as she direct Oswald to attack the five
genins with his weapon.  Temari carry Tenten a little away as Oswald starts
to swing his staff at the rest of the group.  Naruto throw a few shurikens
towards Mitsune as she just use dead bodies to block the attacks.  He
gotten angry as he told Sakura and Ino to hold off Oswald.  Naruto cover
himself with red chakra as he forms two tails then dash towards Mitsune.
   Mitsune smirks as she sends a bunch of dead bodies towards Naruto as he
knock them away from him.  Mitsune appear near Naruto as she kicks his left
arm and throw him towards Sakura and Ino.  Temari looks behind her to see a
slime monster as she gulps.  Naruto motion for Sakura to help him as she
grab Naruto then throw him towards Mitsune since Naruto prepared a Rasengan
in his right hand.  Mitsune block the Rasengan with Oswald's body as it is
send off of the bridge.  "Oh, I am going to need more bodies if you keep
taking them away," Mitsune said as she then throws Naruto through the slime
monster and away from the girls.  "Huh," Mitsune said before she is frozen
along with the slime monster as Sakura couldn't see who did it.
   Naruto landed as he saw that Baki and Bidia are playing checkers while
Naruto decided to go look for the others.  Sasuke and Rock Lee are losing
against the Yuki Twins, Haku and Naku.  Haku was about to finish them off
when he felt two new chakra sources.  Naku decided to warn Zabuza as Haku
knock out Sasuke and Lee.  Haku went after his sister as he saw that
Kakashi has already defeated Zabuza and was about to finish off Naku.  He
was about to save her when he was betray by Benisato stabbing him in the
heart.  Naku dodge all of Kakashi's attack, but got stuck in some goo as
Kakashi is going to send a Raikiri through her heart.  Naruto move Naku out
of the way as Kakashi's attack took off his left arm.  Raiga appear as he
destroy the arm with an lightning strike as Tawna is pure lightning letting
Raiga draw lightning from her.
   "♪Heart, oh heart.  Where are you?  Are you here or are you there?
Where could my loving heart be?  It's been too long since I seen you.  I
want to feel you beating in my chest.  Heart, oh heart.  I see you there,
releasing your sweat red blood.  I want to feel a warm one as mine is too
cold.  My cold heart isn't warm anymore.  It doesn't release the sweat red
blood that I love so much.  There is one that is right for me, so I will
take out your♪" sung a voice as everyone look for the voice. 
"♪Heart and make it mine♪" sung the voice as Raiga saw his
heart in someone's hand.  The person removes the hand as Kakashi looks at
the person with the misting clearing up.  "No way, but you are dead,"
Kakashi said as he saw Raiga's heart in the hand of his lost teammate, Rin
Nohara.  Benisato dash towards Rin as Benisato's head is taken off by
Ameyuri Ringo.  Rin walks over to Naruto and help heal the part of his body
where his arm used to be.  Ameyuri took the Kiba swords and look for where
everyone else is.  Asuma has appear with everyone else as they said that
Yelena and Buniza left after the mist clear.  "Well, that should keep it
from bleeding, but you are going to need a new arm," Rin said as she walks
over to Kakashi then slap him.
   "Be careful next time or a slap will be the least of your worries," Rin
said as she went to help heal the others.  Gatou was frozen at the end of
the bridge that is next to the village as everyone look at it.  Kankurou
gave Naruto a puppet arm for a left arm to be use for now.  Naku buries
Zabuza and Haku as she put Kubikiribouchou (Decapitating Carving Knife) at
Zabuza's grave then waited with the others.  The sand team left after the
battle as Rin has send a message to someone to help with Naruto's arm.  The
Konoha team waited until the bridge was done before leaving with Naku
wanting to join their village.
   Later at Konoha, Hiruzen is happy to see Rin back, but he is watching
Kakashi get talk down by Kushina for what happen to Naruto during the
mission.  "Anyway, the mission is done and Nijuuhime said that she is done
with what I request.  So should we head there Kushina," Rin said as she and
Kushina left the Hokage Manor and went to Nijuuhime's shop.  Nijuuhime has
Naruto on a table as she has something covered in the same room.  "I must
thank you for saving Juujuu," Nijuuhime said as Naruto wonder who Juujuu is
before he figure it out.  `She is calling her daughter by the same name in
Japanese,' Naruto thought as Nijuuhime saw Kushina walk in with Rin,
Sakura, Tenten, and Sakura's mother, Mebuki.  "I finish the new arm for
Naruto here and I even might add in something for when he is alone with the
ladies," Nijuuhime said as Kushina blushed.  "What no," Naruto said as he
notice that he can't move.  "I already put in the socket for the arm so I
just need to attach the arm to it," Nijuuhime said as she started attaching
the new metal arm to Naruto's body.  Naruto screams as Nijuuhime finish
attaching the new left arm.  "Done, this metal arm is unbreakable and will
grow as you grow.  Also it has a launcher in it that can fire from the palm
and pop up as it can fire senbons and kunais, a metal cable with a hook to
climb walls, a chakra feature so he can use chakra with the arm, and 3
claw-like blades that shoot out with one claw-like blade between each
knuckle.  You will need to come by here if you want other things add to it,
but we need to test if out first," Nijuuhime said as she release Naruto and
everyone walk outside to a training ground.  Nijuuhime told Naruto to try a
Rasengan with the left arm as Naruto nods.  Naruto gather chakra in his
left arm as it forms into a Rasengan as he then extend the arm to hit the
target.  Nijuuhime smile as she told Naruto to test out the other features
as Naruto does so with launching kunais from the palm of his left hand. 
Naruto also move the fingers of his metallic hand then smiles.
   Naruto has a new outfit as he is wearing a sleeveless black shirt with
an orange Uzumaki symbol which is a circle with a line that curve into the
middle to create a spiral on the back, blue jeans, and black sandals that
reveal his toes and heel of his feet.  Nijuuhime has coated his new metal
arm in something to look like skin as he smiles.  His mother told him that
the Chuunin Exams are going to start in two weeks and she knows that Naruto
will be enter in it with his team.  Two weeks later, Naruto has mastered
using his new arm and today will start a new legend in history.
   A/N: The next chapter is where the story will really start.  Tenten's
mother never calls Tenten by her name in English since she calls Tenten by
her name in Japanese.  I could have started the story on this chapter, but
it was better that I explain why Sakura has her powers and why Naruto is
friendly with Kurama.
