Zabusa's POV;

This Dexter Uzumaki guy left the room and I looked down at Haku, the girl I picked up and since then kept around. I often tell her that I only see her as a tool, but is that really true?

She looks so frail now. She had no purpose in her life when I picked her up. So I simply said that I need her as a tool. In hindsight, it should have been better to say something different.

I went over her hair once with my hand and then moved her into a sitting position. She looked at me with apologetic eyes, as if it was all her fault.

“What can you tell me about him? This Uzumaki?”, I then asked and she tried to calm herself down.

“He captured me during your fight with the Konoha Ninja, he told me he would visit us soon and that you won't win. He then released me and I saved you from Konoha. After that, I carried you to our hideout and tented to your wounds. Soon after, he suddenly appeared in a flash of red and yellow and then did something to me that sucked out all of my Chakra. He then used medical Jutsu to heal you and you know the rest.

Why did you act so differently when you heard his name? And what are these eyes?”, she said and retold the things that happened to her.

I sighed heavily before starting to tell her about the Uzumaki; “The Uzumaki were a clan that has roots back to the warring time. They were masters of the sealing art and ultimately killed during the second great Ninja war. Kiri, Iwa, Kumo and a few Konoha black ops soldiers attacked their island and killed every citizen. We nonetheless took heavy damage, even with our surprise attack.

Each Uzumaki is ranked as a flee on sight in Kiri's Bingo Book. And this fellow might be an Uzumaki, they normally have red hair. This guy, while not entirely heaving red hair, still shows streaks of said color. It's not uncommon for mixed breeds. Your loss of Chakra might very well have been a seal.

If it's true what he says, that the Uzumaki are back, then the world is up for something. There is nothing more dangerous than an angry Uzumaki. They rival the now extinct Uchiha and Senju in terms of power.

As for his eyes, I don't know. There is a legend about a legendary Dojutsu named the Rinnegan, but there are no records about them having tomoe, like the Sharingan. Still, it could very well be that the records were false. I mean it's only a myth.

But the Chakra I felt from him was frightening. I only felt it during his medical treatment, but it was enormous and he was still able to do medical Jutsu.

And his claims to help us with the rebellion back in Kiri might be good for us. Like I said, an Uzumaki could help us greatly. His seals alone will give us a great boost. But if he's even able to access his blood line, then we might have someone rivaling an S-Rank Ninja.

The fact that he is capable of sneaking up on you, me and Kakashi means a lot”.

She kept quiet for the whole time and didn't say a word for a few more minutes.

Until she then said something that threw me off guard by a wide margin.

“Do you think he looks as good under his mask, as his voice suggests?”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third Person's POV;

Dexter strolled through the hideout and found, only after a few corners, the entrance to Gato's part.

This meant that the walls got more decoration and that everything looked way more luxurious.

There were also a few guards, but they were put under a Genjutsu, so no problem on this side.

His stroll brought him to Gato's living quarters and with them to Gato. He opened the last door that was between him and Gato and found a small fat man behind a big office table. Paperwork was all over his desk and two guards were standing next to the entrance.

Neither Gato nor the guards noticed his silent entrance and neither of them noticed the two clones that were suddenly behind the guards.

Each clone got in position and with a quick twist broke their respective neck. This was however noticed by Gato. He looked up and saw his fallen down guards as well as the menacing figure of Dexter. The purple Rinne-Sharingan eyes bearing down on his small fat body.

“Who...who are you?”, asked the pudgy man. He was already quivering like a frightened mouse.

“I'm Dexter Uzumaki and you're going to sign over all off you assets to me”, replied Dexter evenly.

Of course, Gato didn't like to be threatened and he also does not like to hand over his money. He was Gato, the biggest money grubber in the whole country. So he did what every man in his position would have done.

He tried to intimidate his opponent.

“Do you even know who I am?! I am Gato, the shipping taikun. I have hundreds of men behind me and even A-Rank Ninja are moving to my commands. What could one man do against me?”.

°He's annoying, put him under a Genjutsu and be done with it°, nagged Kura-chan and Dexter did as she said. The raging body of Gato suddenly stopped mid movement and his eyes turned glassy and unfocused before they refocused.

“Of course I'll overwrite my assets to you right this moment. I have every necessary document here. Please sit down, this might take a few hours”, he then said and promptly began to work.

It took him a few hours to finish everything and half way between Haku came and asked if Dexter needs something. He declined in a friendly tone and it wasn't unnoticed that Haku blushed slightly.

°Great, another girl that is falling for you, isn't it enough to have half of Uzushiogakure? What do you intent to do now?°, asked an annoyed Kurama. She's slightly regretting to have made him this good looking. Now even his voice was enough to sway the hearts of girls. The constant little Chakra lazing he did to his tone wasn't helping. It made his every suggestion or word more believeable and trustworthy. And only realy good sensors could detect it.

The fan girls in this world were truly many and strong in passion.

°Nothing, she will overcome this like all the others have to. You are the only woman I love°, replied Dexter. He had this conversation a few times with her and it was always nice to hear that she worries about loosing him. Even if her worries were unnecessary. No normal girl would stay with him. He was too much of a crazy oddball.

“I've finished, please sign under these documents and every building and ship I own will be signed over to you”, came suddenly from the side and Dexter looked down at the massive tower of papers.

He quickly made a few clones and each began to sign the papers. The mountain dwindled rapidly and the original Dexter turned his focus back to Gato. He wasn't needed any longer, so he killed him like he killed his guards. He then put all three dead bodies in a seal and made a blood clone of Gato. This clone will act for him until the Konoha Ninja are gone.

Now he had to wait.

The next morning he was woken up by one of his security clones. They informed him that the support for Konoha arrived. And surprise surprise it was Guy and his Genin team. Which means that Dexter was now also here.

°What will you do now? Zabusa isn't strong enough to fight both Kakashi and Guy°, asked Kurama. This indeed was a problem.

°I might have to fight them myself°, replied Dexter. He was on his way to Zabusa.

He reached their room and knocked once before walking inside. Haku wasn't there and Zabusa was sitting on his bed reading a book.

“Zabusa, there are news about Kakashi and his team, they got support from Konoha. It's Guy, the green beast of Konoha and his Genin team”, said Dexter the moment he was fully inside.

Zabusa put the book aside and looked up; “Well shit, I heard of him. His father killed my previous master. Normally I would pack my things and go, but I'm sure you have other plans?”.

“Indeed. I'm going to place a few seals on the bridge on the day we will attack. This will guaranty that Haku won't fight too many of them. I myself want to fight Guy a little bit and you can fight Kakashi, however, keep away from his summons. But it's necessary that you won't kill him. Kakashi must survive.

Haku's fight is not really important, she can kill her enemies, but I don't think she will be able to. She's too young and innocent to kill yet”.

“I know, I tried to prepare her for the fights that come with being a Ninja, but I don't think she is ready yet. Her personality is simply to peaceful. It would have been better for her to become a medic or no Ninja at all.

You sure you can handle the green beast? I heard he is truly a monster”.

“Oh yes, his only true strength is his Taijutsu and his eight gates. And he's not the only one who can open them. I'm more concerned about your and Haku's survival. I will place a few shadow clones near the battlefield in case something unforeseen happens.

As for Haku's enemies. There are six Genin in total. One is useless...”,

“Let me guess the pink haired?”, interupted Zabusa with a laugh.

“...yes her. The other female is a long to middle range weapons user, no treat for Haku. The problematic enemies are the other three. One Uchiha that won't be able to beat her, but will nonetheless pose a treat.

A weird guy in green spandex, this one is like Guy. He already knows how to open three of the eight gates and will be fast enough to beat Haku once he opens them. Which he will when he sees his allies in dire situation.

The last two aren't going to kill Haku, but will both be able to beat her alone”, finished Dexter.

“How do you know so much? And why shouldn't the last two kill her?”, asked Zabusa with a raised eyebrow.

“Because both of them are clones of mine. The first, the blond haired that beat you yesterday and the other one will be a purple haired one. The second is way stronger than the first and is probably able to kill you or Kakashi with little effort”, answered Dexter.

“Hey, I'm still one of the seven swordsmen. I won't be beaten so easily”, argued Zabusa with a scoff.

“Kakashi is relying to much on his eye and you are doing the same with your mist. You're only slightly above A-Rank without your mist. Try to train more without it in the future. Come to think of it, we will do exactly that in the coming week. It might not be enough to truly help you, but maybe it gives you the needed edge above Kakashi.

About his fight, I already said that he uses his Sharingan too much. Just trap him in your mist and tire him out with Kunai's and water clones. He's stronger than you in close combat.”

The things Dexter had said weren't things to Zabusa's liking, but it was often like this with the truth. No one likes to hear that they are weaker then they think.

“Yeah and what about you? How do you intent to beat the green beast? This guy is said to be a monster in close quarters. And if I have to remind you, a bridge does not have much room”, said Zabusa in defiance.

“Like any good Uzumaki, with seals”, was Dexter's simply reply before he stood up.

“I'll be out and look around. We'll start our training in two hours. Bring Haku, she needs some more skills as well”, he then said and left via Hiraishin.

Zabusa just stared at his previous position and then muttered some curses before grabbing his book again.

Six ours later, Haku's POV;

I can't believe it, but it's right in front of me. Master Zabusa got his ass handed by this Dexter Uzumaki. Master first tried to use his hidden mist technique, but it didn't seem like it had any effect on Mr. Uzumaki. Every attack was swiftly countered and then returned with more force than before. Master then tried to use water based Jutsu to hit Mr. Uzumaki, these attacks were able to reach him, but were ultimately also blocked. Either by water Jutsu from him or by stone Jutsu. Aren't booth opposite elements? How is he able to use both?

Following that came a pure Kenjutsu battle. Mr. Uzumaki took a double bladed sword out of a seal and parried each and every attack from Zabusa. He did not evade like most would do with such an sword as their opponent, no he parried.

The attacks of Master were strong enough to create small gusts of wind. The weapon of Mister Uzumaki must be one of its kind to survive such an onslaught.

The fight didn't look good for Master, yet he smiled the whole time. I knew that Master likes to fight, especially strong enemies, and Mr. Uzumaki is one of the strongest Ninja I have ever seen.

And I don't think he's even using all of his strength.

“Come on Haku, focus. Your Chakra manipulation skills may be good, but good is not good enough. There is always room for more”, reminded me the clone of Mr. Uzumaki.

He was training me in a special Chakra manipulation technique. I never heard of this one, I have to separate four different coloured heaps of sand. They are intermingled and it's really hard to do. He said that it's one of the harder techniques and used for medic Ninja in Uzushiogakure. He told me that even Tsunade had problems at first, how am I supposed to do this when even the legendary Sannin Tsunade wasn't able to?

“Yes Mr. Uzumaki”, I replied and dutifully went back to work. Master Zabusa, I'm sorry, but you have to fight this on your own.

A week later, Dexter POV;

The week was quickly over and Haku didn't meet Naruto this time. But I did. Just that it wasn't Naruto but Dexter who laid in the grass. He reported to me what happened during their week. That he encouraged Inari with his story.

Seems like he told them that not everyone has a mother, that in truth only Sakura has a mother left and then even only TenTen with one parent at all.

That he can be lucky to not have seen more gruesome things and that he still has food to eat.

This little story killed the mood and he left the house. He also told me about our Naruto clone. He is trying his hardest to ignore both Sakura and Sasuke, both only get more angry and annoyed at his behaviour. Sasuke turned really into a prick, he demanded Naruto to teach him the shadow clone technique, but was shot down by Kakashi who told him that this Kinjutsu would kill him.

Lee tried to get a date out of Sakura, but was blocked by her instantly. He then tried to fight Sasuke, because he was a genious like Dexter and as such wanted to prove himself.

This in return was blocked by Guy who told him that they can't fight unnecessarily in enemy territory.

Lee begun to cry and they both made their unbreakable Genjutsu. It increased the time Kakashi needed to get fully healed by a day because he tried to hit himself unconscious with his crutch.

But all in all they were now ready to fight and tomorrow was going to be when they will attack. Dexter told him that he's going to set Naruto and his other blood clone up against Haku and that Sakura, as well as TenTen have to stay behind for the goons. Sasuke and Lee will be taken out of the fight at the start. Kakashi and Guy will fight both him and Zabusa.

So it was now the clones task to suggest that both Sakura and TenTen will stay behind to protect Tsunami.

The clone agreed and went back to Tazuna's house, while Dexter went to the bridge, where he applied some seals. Everything was now ready and the fight can begin.

This might not have been necessary at all, as he could simply let them finish the bridge, but he wanted to test himself against Guy. And Haku, as well as Zabusa could need a serious fight. It will also anger Sasuke to see that he is useless.

So many flees with one stone.
