'It doesn't matter. The result will always be the same' Haku thought to herself.
Now that Satsuki has awakened her Sharingan, she may actually be dangerous. Now Haku needs to end this as quickly as possible in order to avoid any variable that might affect the result of this battle.
Before Haku could even do anything, a figure appeared in front of Satsuki, staring directly at the latter's crimson eyes.
"Naruto..." Satsuki coldly whispers while angrily staring at Naruto.
Naruto ignored Satsuki's stare and glanced at Hinata, who was lying on the ground. He saw senbons all around her body clearly caused by the enemy in the ice mirror.
Naruto knows that Hinata is still alive but greatly needs medical care, or else she might die. Naruto couldn't care less whether Hinata dies or not, but in order to complete the mission, he needs Hinata to survive.
Naruto closes in on Hinata, takes one knee down, and places his hand on Hinata's forehead.
Satsuki didn't know what Naruto was planning, but she didn't care and only watched. She hopes that Naruto had a way to save Hinata even though she knows that the chances are incredibly low.
In the Ninja Academy they weren't taught any medical ninjutsu, and Fugaku also hasn't taught anyone about it since the requirements of the medical ninjutsu are quite strict.
Satsuki didn't know if Naruto knew any medical ninjutsus, especially given the fact that the latter is quite secretive about his capabilities, but within her heart she hoped that Naruto knew medical ninjutsu and saved Hinata.
Naruto didn't know any medical ninjutsu, as he didn't chance on acquiring such ninjutsu. He had natural confidence that he could master the medical ninjutsu easily and even back then had the intention of learning medical ninjutsu and becoming an all-rounded ninja, but he didn't continue learning medical ninjutsu for the simple reason that Naruto learned more advanced healing techniques on another continent.
Reverse Cursed Technique, or RCT for short.
The RCT had a far more advanced healing technique in Naruto's opinion compared to the medical ninjutsu in the ninja world.
While there is a medical ninjutsu that far surpassed the RCT capabilities, like Tsunade's technique, overall the RCT is still better in Naruto's opinion.
The only downside was the fact that the RCT had far stricter requirements, especially when healing other people.
Naruto is one of the few people who had RCT and was able to heal other people, but this information wasn't publicly known, but right now Naruto decides to release such information since he already planned to stop suppressing himself.
All the injuries that Hinata suffered suddenly healed in a fast manner that greatly shocked both Satsuki and Haku, who had been watching from the sidelines.
They also noticed the senbons in Hinata's body started to detach from her body.
"It's your turn next," Naruto calmly said after healing Hinata.
"I don't need it," Satsuki responds coldly, but Naruto ignores her opinion and places down his hand on her head, and Satsuki fails to avoid it or do anything.
Moments later, her injuries quickly healed.
Throughout the entire time, Haku didn't dare to attack recklessly, especially given the fact that she barely knew Naruto's capabilities aside from his incredible swordsmanship, which clearly surpassed Zabuza's.
After Satsuki finished healing, Hinata slowly opened her eyes. Satsuki notices Hinata awakening and dashes towards her, giving Hinata a tight hug.
Hinata was slightly confused about the situation but still returned back, hugging Satsuki as she felt the latter's concern.
Naruto ignored the action of his teammates and wove a strange hand sign that Haku didn't know what it represented.
"Nue," Naruto whispers.
Out of nowhere, something suddenly came out from Naruto's shadow, and this caught Haku's, Satsuki's, and Hinata's attention.
They saw a large owl-like creature with orange feathers and a white mask-like skull. Lightning sparks suddenly appeared and disappeared around its body.
The aura of this beast was greatly unsettling for the three girls, but Naruto ignored it and mentally commanded Nue.
Suddenly everyone heard a thunderous sound, and before they could react, several lightning bolts suddenly attacked the ice mirror, breaking it in the process and injuring Haku as well.
Haku was sent flying closer to Fugaku and Zabuza's location, and her arrival didn't go unnoticed.
"The mist is quite annoying," Naruto whispers, but due to the silence throughout the area, everyone manages to hear him.
Naruto suddenly claps his two hands, and it produces an intense gust of wind throughout his body. The wind carries the mist towards the farther area, clearing the surroundings of the mist.
Everyone finally can see clearly the surrounding area. They even saw Gato and his henchmen waiting at the end of the bridge with shocked expressions on their faces; this shock they felt was targeted towards Naruto.
Though one person in particular had a more extreme reaction after seeing Naruto.
"G-Gojo?!" the Black-skinned man said out loud while pointing his finger at Naruto.
Naruto stared at the man, and a slight surprise appeared on his face before his lips curled upwards, forming a small smile.
The aura around Naruto changes. Previously he had an indifferent aura around him that kept anyone at a distance, but now he had a playful and arrogant aura around him.
Not only his aura but also his posture changes. From one where he was just calmly standing, now he slightly raises his head as if he were looking down at everyone.
These changes really caught Hinata and Satsuki by surprise since this was the first time they saw this kind of attitude from Naruto.
They used to see his indifferent attitude, but this playful one is really surprising.
"Miguel, I didn't expect to meet you here," Naruto calmly said.
"What the hell are you doing here, Gojo?!" Miguel asks, voice full of disbelief.
"That should be my question. What are you doing here?" Naruto responds calmly.
"By the way, is Larue also here?" Naruto added.
Miguel didn't respond for a moment, still digesting the information he just received, and the moment he finally digested it, he stared at Naruto calmly.
"Larue wasn't here, and neither were the others," Miguel responds while his muscles tense, preparing for a fight.
This didn't go unnoticed by Naruto, but he ignored it completely.
"You didn't answer my first question."
"You should answer mine first since I already answered your second question," Miguel retorted.
Naruto just shrugged his shoulder and calmly said, "I am here on my mission."
"I am here for his request," Miguel responds while pointing at Gato, who is confused after seeing the person he recruited pointing at him.
What really confused Gato more was the fact that Miguel's attitude around Naruto was as if he feared the teenager, which is quite absurd in Gato's opinion.
Gato wasn't the only one confused about Miguel and Naruto's conversation; the others were as well. This was especially true for Team 13 since this was the first time they met Miguel, yet Naruto and he had history with each other.
From Miguel's action it was clear it wasn't a good one.
This really made Fugaku question the information he previously received about Naruto. It was clear that Naruto hid a lot of information about himself, but only now did Fugaku realize how deep the secrecy surrounding Naruto was.
Fugaku didn't remember seeing Miguel entering the village, and while one might think that it was impossible to know every person entering and exiting the village, that would be false.
For ninja villages, especially the 5 Great Villages, it was easy for them to know every single person entering their territory. They know about the time the person enters, the time they spend in the village, and the time they leave the village, and this was just the tip of the iceberg.
The fact that Naruto knows Miguel only leads to one conclusion, and that is the fact that Naruto leaves the village on more than one occasion.
The fact that no one noticed this really made him question if the people working behind monitoring the people entering and leaving the village were really working properly.
This also made him confirm the fact that Naruto is a flight risk, but the danger he poses is still up for debate.
'I really need to talk to Minato about this,' Fugaku thought to himself.
Naruto suddenly appears in front of Miguel, shocking the latter and everyone else.
'Fast! 'Fugaku and Zabuza thought in unison.
They aren't able to follow Naruto's movement, and this was really shocking, especially for Fugaku, who still activates his Sharingan and even with his matured Sharingan, fails to follow Naruto's movements.
This really confirmed Fugaku's guess about Naruto's theory. Without a doubt, Naruto is a Kage-level ninja.
"Do you know the location of Gato's base?" Naruto asks.
The playfulness surrounding Naruto had magically disappeared.
"Why are you looking for his place?" Miguel asks while his body is already in a fighting position.
Miguel already noticed Naruto staring at him playfully as if he were an interesting toy. This was the first time he saw Naruto react like this, but he did hear it from someone in the past.
"It was part of my mission," Naruto responds carelessly.
Miguel didn't speak for a moment and think about his response. After careful consideration, he decides to answer Naruto's question.
The moment Miguel answers Naruto's question, everyone is mysteriously unable to hear anything he speaks. This really made everyone focus on Naruto and his mysterious capabilities.
