"I did not teach him that jutsu as I never seen that jutsu before. I haven't taught him wind manipulation, either," Kakashi answered calmly as he and the others watched Naruto in action.
"What a strong ninja that boy is!" Zabuza marveled. Wind Release: Nine Spiraling Guillotines was the new attack that Naruto was secretly working on over the last two months. Even Hinata wasn't aware of it. And the fact that he used Zabuza's Kubikiribōchō made the attack more devastating than it would have normally been.
When the nine blades died out, Naruto dispelled his clones. With Zabuza's Kubikiribōchō in hand and wind chakra still focused around the giant blade with his chakra and gravity restraint seals lowered by several notches, he rushed in with blurring speed to finish off those that survived the attack. All that was seen of Naruto was the occasional orange-red blur.
When it was all over, Gatō, who narrowly avoided being killed by Naruto's earlier attack, came out of hiding and saw a sight that left him in a terrifying situation. All of his hired men were dead, slaughtered and butchered in the most brutal and vicious way he could imagine. Slashed organs, dismembered body parts and blood of his slain men littered the ground. He stopped when he felt pure bloodlust from behind him. He cowered as he slowly turned and saw a red-eyed and fanged Naruto holding Zabuza's blood-covered Kubikiribōchō standing behind him.
"Monster…," Gatō said lowly in fear.
"Look who's talking," Naruto remarked darkly as he started to move closer to the man.
"Please! Spare me!" Gato shouted desperately, "I'll give you anything you want! Money, power over Nami no Kuni! Beautiful women! I'll buy as many as you want!"
"You'll give me what I want? Well, there are a few things you have that I want to retrieve," Naruto replied as he summoned a kage bunshin. The clone moved forward and grabbed Gatō by his shirt collar.
"Take him," Naruto ordered as the clone nodded and body flickered away with Gatō, making their way back to the central town of the country and leaving Naruto alone.
(Back at the Bridge)
"Kakashi-san," Honoka called out as she, Inari, Tsunami, and all the of the villagers that came together with them to rise up against Gatō and his army made their way over to Kakashi, Tazuna, and the others. Tazuna and Kakashi assured the people that Zabuza and Haku were no longer threats to any of them and that they longer work for Gatō after the man double-crossed and had them wounded. Honoka rushed to where the wounded Haku was lying and examined her.
She carefully removed the arrows, both of which struck Haku's vital organs. After a few moments with the others watching. Honoka confirmed, "She's still alive, I will have to act fast to save her and stop the bleeding." Honoka performed a hand seal and said, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
She summoned four solid clones of herself. She instructed the first two to take Haku back to Tazuna's house, where they could treat Haku's wounds. The next two were told to examine Zabuza and bandage his injuries. The clones nodded and did as instructed. Despite his injuries, Zabuza stayed behind with Kakashi as they and everyone else hurried to where Naruto was.
When everyone arrived on the scene, they found that all of Gatō's men are already dead, and Gatō was gone, taken by Naruto's clone to an unknown location.
"It's over. Gatō's reign over Nami no Kuni has come to its end," Naruto said calmly after changing back to normal with the red chakra vanishing entirely. His gravity and chakra restraint seals were also returned to their previous levels.
As happy as the people were that Gatō was defeated, they couldn't help by feel dread from the gory, bloody, and devastating mess Naruto singlehandedly left behind in his wake. Parents turned their children away from the horrific scene while a couple of the people even vomited after seeing what became of Gatō's army and the surrounding environment that was caught in Naruto's wrath. Sakura, who was still carrying Sasuke with his right arm around her shoulders, didn't know what to think as fear of Naruto came over her as she and everyone else looked to see the gruesome carnage Naruto left behind for all to see.
"Magnificent! I never thought Konoha could produce such a powerful Genin who could use a sword with such talent!" Zabuza congratulated. "What have you been teaching the boy, Kakashi?"
"I hate to admit this…but what I'm seeing here is beyond anything I taught my three Genin," Kakashi confessed while wondering if Kyuubi had anything to do with what happened after seeing that red chakra. But Kakashi threw that theory out of the window after considering the fact that in spite of the red chakra he and the others saw, Naruto was still in control of himself and his actions without going berserk.
Naruto went over to Zabuza and returned his blood covered Kubikiribōchō.
"This came in handy. Pity I can't keep it," Naruto commented.
"Boy, after seeing such a display from you, I'd be honored to make you my successor, if it were possible," Zabuza remarked.
"Naruto-niichan, did you really do all this by yourself?" a shocked Inari asked. It was true that Inari, with the aid of Honoka and Tsunami, rallied the people to stand up against Gatō's tyranny. They were inspired to take back what was rightfully theirs, and not let a cruel businessman steal and keep it for himself while they suffer and slowly die out from poverty and despair. The people were ready to fight and go the distance against Gatō and his army. But by the look of things, Naruto had beaten everyone to the punch in breaking Gatō's hold on their country.
"You wiped out Gatō and his entire army all by yourself! You're so strong and amazing Niichan! You freed us from Gatō's evil rule over us!" Inari praised.
"I didn't do that all by myself Inari. My team and I did that," Naruto said, trying to act as humble as possible, though inwardly he was enjoying the praise and acknowledgment he was receiving.
"But you left behind quite a grisly mess. It'll be a while before we get this all cleaned up," Tazuna remarked with grim expression.
"Not likely," Honoka countered as she stepped forward and pulled out a small scroll from with her kimono blouse. Kneeling on the grass, she set the opened scroll down on the grass. On it was the kanji for "supplies."
"Kai!" Honoka said, releasing the seal and revealing unused used scrolls, ink bottles, ink brushes, a roll of wire, and a wire clipper.
"I'll handle this," Honoka stated as she started writing seals across the scroll and drew around the center of the writings where she aimed for the sealing to be absorbed and locked in place. When that was done, she slammed her right hand down to the ground in front of the scroll, causing the seals to activate as chakra streamed out from the scroll and headed over to where all of the blood and dismembered corpses were. The chakra absorbed every last one of them into itself until not a drop of blood was left, though it left behind the cut down trees.
The chakra then traveled back into the scroll as it was absorbed into the center of the seals where it was designated to go. The kanji for "Burial of Dishonor" was shown where the sealing was taking effect. After the sealing was done, Honoka rolled the scroll and tied it closed.
