[Jashin & Jiongu Chapter 1]

{Disclaimer: I don't know Naruto, so don't sue me}

P.S. I had originally thought of calling this story 'Kinjutsu Naruto' due to all of the kinjutsu that Naruto will learn and use throughout the story, but decided to stick with 'Zombie Apprentice' because I thought it sounded better.

Naruto was really, really, really, really, scared and he had no idea how to fix his problem. He had been sleeping great for the first time in a while, but then he felt like someone had come into his apartment, so he woke up and looked around. He was shocked to see a man looking down on him with a scary look in his eyes and a giant scythe on his back.

"Rejoice child, Jashin-sama has chosen you to be one of his followers. He has sent me to gift you with his powers, so that you to may spread carnage and destruction in his name! Tonight you will receive Jashin's Blessing!" spoke the man with a kind smile, but the darkness in his eyes freaked Naruto out. This guy gave off a weird vibe, like the natural energy that people gave off that Naruto could somewhat feel had been changed and now it was like this guys, old and powerful.

"Uhm, ok" spoke Naruto right before he tried to run away.

It was not to be as the man was much faster than he had seemed and quickly grabbed Naruto and muffled his cries with his hand before slamming Naruto on the ground very had which caused him to become dazed. Naruto's head was swimming with stars and it felt like he wasn't even in his own body he had been slammed so hard.

He heard some rumbling and the sound of things being moved around and saw through clouded eyes as the silvered haired man with the weird purple eyes start to knock over his things and move them into the kitchen. He kept doing this for a while, but eventually Naruto was able to get his senses back and tried to run again.

"You are a quick one aren't you, that is good, means you will live longer" spoke Hidan as he grabbed Naruto and slammed him onto the ground again. This time though he tied up his hands and feet with ninja wire so he wouldn't be able to run away again. The boy needed to be blessed by Jashin, it was the will of Jashin after all, so of course he was happy to do it.

The boy had a lot of crap in his small crappy apartment. It had been hard enough getting into the village without being caught, so he was already a bit stressed, so he wasn't exactly gentle with the boy's things. It wasn't like he was going to need them soon anyways.

"Alright, it is almost time" spoke Hidan as he looked out the window to see the moon was almost directly overhead. When the moon was directly overhead the ritual could begin.

Hidan started to draw pentagons all over the floor with intricate designs and shapes until the floor almost looked like a mural. After that he grabbed the boy and untied him right before placing him in the center of a giant pentagon with a triangle in the center with a circle around it.

"Alright, here we go. Dear great god Jashin, I have brought you the child you wished for, so please bless him with the power to go forth and create carnage and destruction in your name" spoke Hidan as he started to go through hand signs. When he was done he slammed his hand on a certain symbol and channeled his chakra into it. He watched with sickening glee as the blood started to travel towards the boy and a red glow over took his body.

Naruto's body started to absorb the blood symbols and chakra from inside of the blood which was causing his body to change. His red hair was getting light and lighter until it turned a striking silver color. His blue eyes kept on getting darker until they matched Hidan's exactly. His body became more toned though it was still natural looking. Besides that the boy looked relatively the same, though Hidan knew he was having some terrible nightmares right about now.

"I am just going to leave these here with you, wouldn't want to get caught by leaf ninja for staying to long" spoke Hidan as he jumped out of the window and ran into the darkness to try and avoid any ninja that would come investigating the spike in chakra that he had caused.

Naruto was in agonizing pain. It felt like every atom of his being was exploding only for the pieces to come back together only to do it again. He had hoped that his Uzumaki blood would have helped him, to stop whatever it was the man had done to him, but it seemed that it just wasn't something that could be healed, even though Naruto felt that it was some kind of poison.

When Naruto was finally able to pass out he thought he would be able to escape the pain, but the only thing that changed was what type of pain he felt. He went from the physical pain, to mental pain. He first started off in a black void that had nothing beside him, but soon it was filled with people all looking at him with hatred and loathing in their eyes.

At first they just taunted him by calling him names, throwing basic things at him, and then talking about how worthless he was. Soon though they moved on to things that really hurt his heart deep down, and they said that his parents had abandoned him because they didn't love him, that the Hokage knew who they were and why he was hated but thought that it was funny to watch him suffer, that he would never reach his dreams and would be forever hated.

Naruto was scared, his heart felt like it was going to break, and he felt his mind starting to care in, but something told him that they were wrong. He could feel it in his heart that his mother had loved him. He had no idea why his father's opinion didn't matter to him, but he knew she loved him.

Eventually the villagers started to clear out and one by one they disappeared only to give way to a light that filled that endless void. Soon a red headed woman appeared and laid his head on her lap and started to rub his head. She kept telling him how everything was going to be alright and that she would protect him. He felt safe and soon his nightmare ended.

The sound of his alarm clock going off rocketed Naruto out of his hellish dream. He looked around his nerves shaking him all over as his heart raced like racing horses would. He saw that his living room was bare and that all of his stuff had been shoved into his kitchen, except a rather old book with the words Jashinism written on the spine and a silver necklace with a pendant at the bottom with a pentagon at the bottom. It was in the shape of a large circle with a triangle in the center.

"What the hell just happened" spoke Naruto as he got up and crushed his alarm clock. He was tired of that thing and he was feeling a hell of a lot more violent this morning. When he looked back at the book he groaned but picked it up and started to read it anyway.

"What the Fuck" spoke Naruto as he read page after page from the book. He missed an entire day of class, and didn't even eat while he read his new book. At one point he had put the necklace on so now it hung from his neck.

Naruto read about weird rituals that were weird types of jutsu, something that Naruto had always wanted to learn, he learned that he was supposedly now immortal with the only way of dying being malnutrition, though that sounded like a painful way to die. He continued to read, though his reading abilities were only basic , so he struggled a bit, and learn about everything that had happened to him, and honestly he liked it, but the image of that woman who had protected him in his sleep kept popping up in his mind and he felt inner peace when it happened.

[The Next Day]

When Naruto woke up he looked out of the window and saw that it was early morning outside. He didn't know what he wanted to do, but he knew he wasn't going to stay in this village to be tortured for all eternity.

This village had never been home to him, even though they wore his clan's symbol. It burned Naruto deeply at their ignorance, but there was nothing he could do about that. He quickly grabbed some of the clothes that the Hokage had recently bought for him.

Now Naruto was wearing some dark green cargo shorts, black ninja sandals with ninja tape wrapped around his legs, and a black shirt with a red swirl on the back for his clan. Around his neck he wore the silver pentagon necklace that the silver haired man had left him and some mesh armor under his shirt.

Naruto looked in the mirror and although he looked almost completely different he decided to do a few extra things to his appearance. He grabbed a headband and put it on his forehead and pushed backwards causing his hair to be pushed back (like how soul does in Soul Eater). It looked cool and Naruto figured it was a great look for him.

Looking into the mirror Naruto honestly had a hard time recognized himself. There were so many things different about his seven year old body that it was hard to imagine that he was so much different looking.

"Ok, I can do this. All I have to do is walk out of the village, how hard is that? There isn't any way they would recognize me" spoke Naruto, but then he noticed that his voice was the same.

"Damn it" shouted Naruto feeling like there was always a catch. Nothing came for free in this world, especially for him, and he just figured if he kept his mouth closed then he would be able to get away.

Naruto soon left his apartment making sure not to be seen leaving it. His heart was beating very quickly, but he knew that if he was quite then nobody would recognize him, although he didn't like the idea that he had changed so much physically. It felt like his identity had been stolen, but in truth he was happy to trade it for his freedom.

As Naruto walked down the street he got odd looks, but they were not the same ones he was used to getting. Now these people were whispering about things like foreigners having weird hair colors, and someone even mentioned he thought it was a Lighting Country thing. Naruto let out his breath the he didn't even know he was holding when nobody recognized him.

It felt weird to not walk down the streets and not have anyone say anything bad about you, for nobody to shoot you a glare they would a mass murder, or for someone to throw something at him. it actually felt nice, and he realized that maybe this is what others felt every day, it wasn't hard to see why they were always so happy when he wasn't around, but Naruto knew deep down that those looks would turn right back to the old ones if they found out who he was.

Eventually Naruto got to the west entrance of the village and was confronted by two chunin who were known as the 'Eternal Guardians' because they were always on guard duty. It was supposed to be shuffled around, but for some reason they were always the ones chosen. Naruto just figured they must have done something to get that treatment.

"Hey I don't remember you coming into the village" spoke Izumo as he looked down on Naruto. He knew he hadn't seen any kid with silver hair and purple eyes…. well ever, so how did he get into the village.

Izumo was about average height with long brown hair that covered his right eye. He wore his forehead protector on his forehead and instead of keeping it on a headband they kept it on a cap that covered his entire head. His build wasn't all that great, leaving him kind of thin, but he wore the average Konoha chunin outfit with long sleeves so most people wouldn't notice. He wore the standard chunin vest proudly and had lots of scrolls and stuff inside of it.

"I came in with the last trade group that came here, but stayed a bit to see the sights. I am supposed to meet up with them in Blima village in one week's time" spoke Naruto in his best childlike voice, though it came out high pitched and not very believable.

"Blima village? Yea that is where the last caravan leader said he was going" spoke the other chunin as he looked over at his friend from his chair. His name was Kotetsu and he didn't see why Izumo was blocking the kid, it wasn't like it mattered what he did, wasn't like a kid could break into Konoha regardless of how skilled he was.

Kotetsu was a bit bigger than his friend Izumo with long dark blue hair that stuck out in every direction. He wore a white piece of cloth across his face that went under his eyes but over his nose. His build was a bit sturdier than his friends, but he wore the same exact outfit as him. He didn't wear the full headed cap with the forehead protects, opting to go with the more traditional forehead protector sash.

"Kotetsu you are being irresponsible. We have to make sure that the boy isn't a spy or something" spoke Izumo as he looked over at Kotetsu with an annoyed look because he wasn't helping him.

"Well then pat him down and see if he has anything that would point towards being a traitor or spy" spoke the man as he went back to shuffling some cards on a fold out table that Naruto was sure he wasn't supposed to have.

"Alright" spoke Izumo as he gave Naruto a quick pat down, but stopped at a scroll at Naruto's hip. "What is that" spoke Izumo as he pulled the scroll out of Naruto's pocket and examined it.

"It is a sealing scroll that lets me store all of my supplies. My dad taught me" spoke Naruto, not expecting for this to happen. Most civilians didn't even have a clue how chakra worked, so now he was in some deep trouble.

"How did your father know how to use chakra" asked Izumo as he looked down at Naruto with hard eyes. He looked a hair's breath away from arresting Naruto right there on the spot which caused Naruto to think on his feet very quickly.

"He was a monk at the fire temple" blurted out Naruto as he took a subconscious step backwards. The man eyed him for a moment and then looked at the scroll.

"Alright I will believe you, but I do need to check out all of the things in here" spoke Izumo as he started unseal everything that was in Naruto's scroll. Eventually he worked his way down to the last thing that Naruto wanted him to find.

"What is this" asked the man as he held up the book that the silver haired man had left for him. He obviously didn't realize what it was, or the dark religious texts that were in there along with the strange jutsu and intro to what was known as the following.

"It is a sacred book describing a man's journey through the nine circles of hell. It is a first edition" spoke Naruto hoping that the man would not read it. The book described a dark religion and a highly destructive god that he knew he would be arrested for just having, let alone practicing.

"Izumo how long are you going to make me wait? It is your turn" shouted Kotetsu as he looked back at his best friend who was harassing some young kid. He really had to be bored if he was stopping children from leaving the village.

"Alright I will be there in a second" spoke Izumo giving up on trying to figure out what was up with this strange kid, and gave him his stuff back. After the boy had everything sealed up he quickly took off down the road trying to get as far away from him as possible.

"Man you must really be bored if you are harassing kids now" spoke Kotetsu as he looked down at his cards and put three kings down and watched as Izumo put down the other king and three threes.

"You just have to ruin my fun don't you? What if that kid had something important on him and it would weaken our village with it gone" spoke Izumo with a bored one as he drew from the deck and put down a two, three, and four of hearts.

"I would say that things can't get much worse and that at worse we get moved over to library duty" spoke Kotetsu as he drew from the deck and laid down a five of hearts.

"I guess you are right" spoke Izumo as anime tears started to run down his face.

Naruto felt so great, he was free and nobody was going to take that from him. Naruto knew that he would need to get something to eat soon, but other than that he was perfectly fine. He would no longer have to deal with being looked at like something that was less than human or be forced to eat things that should have been thrown away. No from now on he would be living the way he was meant to from now on.

"Thank god for the 'Eternal Guardians'" laughed Naruto as he ran faster than he knew he could through the forest. He was sad that he never learned to do the things that the ninja did, but at least he would be able to live a more enjoyable life now.

[One Week Later]

Kakuzu was not the person you wanted to piss off, and he was the last person you wanted to steal from. He was a giant of a man with a temper that knew no bounds and was as deadly as he was powerful.

Kakuzu was very tall with tan skin and had weird eyes. The eye itself was light green with no pupil and where it was supposed to be white it was red. He had good sized muscles designed for strength and speed in mind but also endurance as well. He wore faded dark blue pants with black sandals and white socks. He wore a big black over coat on his body but no shirt because that would just get in the way of his kinjutsu's abilities. Almost his entire head was covered by something. He wore this big grey thing that covered most of his head and all of his neck that looked like a ski mask made of some kind of tough material. On top of that was a faded dark blue headband that was pointed like a triangle at the top and had his forehead protector on it with a slash running through it. His mouth was covered by a black mask, possibly a breather to filler out poisons.

Kakuzu was anything but happy as he ran through his least favorite country after two idiots who he had been chasing after since the Land of Grass which was a border country of the Land of Fire. They had been stupid enough to try and steal from him, well they weren't about to get away with their lives, but to Kakuzu's anger they were good at running away.

"Damn it Midori we are going to have to stop and fight him. He doesn't even show any signs of getting tired" spoke Shiba as he landed on a tree branch and turned around to face Kakuzu. He had his kunai ready for anything that this giant man would throw at them.

"Alright" shouted Midori as he landed on a branch not far from Shiba. He had his hands close together ready to use his jutsu at a moment's notice.

When Kakuzu saw that they had stopped his smirked underneath his mask. He was thinking of just turning them to ash, but then they might have bounties and he was in need of a new heart for his collection.

Kakuzu landed on a branch not far from the two kusa missing nin and eyed them for a moment. They still had their chunin jackets which wasn't a smart idea, even if it did provide a modicum of protection.

"You two made a big mistake trying to steal from me" spoke Kakuzu as he eyed them with his creepy eyes. He watched as one of them started to shiver, but the other with the glasses thought he was strong enough to take him on, foolish.

"I don't think so. We ran because we didn't want any of our former comrades to try and arrest us, but now that we are in the Land of Fire they won't be able to follow us. Now we can kill you and take everything that you have" spoke Midori as he started to go through hand signs. When he was done he shouted out "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu" and exhaled a large fireball that shout out in Kakuzu's direction.

When Kakuzu saw the C ranked jutsu rushing towards him he almost laughed, but he didn't. He started to go through hand signs that were so fast they looked like a blur to the normal person. "Fire Style: Intelligent Hard Work" shouted Kakuzu as he exhaled a much more powerful stream of fire that clashed with the giant fireball.

When the two jutsu connected they battled for dominance for a moment before Kakuzu's jutsu over powered the first one and combined with it thus launching it back at Midori, but now it had his own jutsu's power added to it.

"Shit" shouted Midori as he jumped out of the tree trying to get away from the super powered fire jutsu as he watched it burn through tree after tree leaving them nothing but ashes. When he landed on the ground he looked back to where Kakuzu was, but noticed he wasn't there. Then all of a sudden Kakuzu was in front of him and rammed his hand into his chest.

"I don't need a fire release heart, but now you do" spoke Kakuzu as he crushed Midori's heart inside of his chest with his bare hands. Midori's eyes got big before blood started to pore out of them and his mouth. Soon his eyes rolled back into his skull and he was dead.

"You bastard" shouted Shiba as he started to go through hand signs. "Water Style: Water Trumpet Jutsu" shouted Shiba as he launched a powerful line of pressurized water towards Kakuzu who didn't even try and dodge it.

"Water release that is the heart I need" spoke Kakuzu as the water jutsu hit him and sent him through a tree as it destroyed the area it hit. When it was all done Shiba had jumped down and was looking at where Kakuzu had been knocked through the tree and started laughing.

"Ha, not so tough now are you" shouted Shiba as he stood in the mud that he had created and looked at the ruble that Kakuzu was laying in. his blood turned to ice when Kakuzu stood up, but now his skin was completely black. "How is it possible, I hit you dead on with my water jutsu" shouted Shiba whose legs were shaking.

"Water release is inferior to earth release, it is only natural" spoke Kakuzu as he stood up. He channeled fire chakra through his body causing the water on him and his clothes to turn to steam then he looked at Shiba who looked ready to crap himself.

"Now I think you have something that belongs to me" spoke Kakuzu as he lifted his hand up. Shiba was scared and tried to run away, but then a hand grabbed him by the back of the neck and started to drag him across the mud as he kicked and screamed profanities.

"No, please don't kill me" shouted Shiba as he did everything in his power to make Kakuzu let him go, but the old bounty hunter wasn't about to let his newest heart get away that easily.

"Be quite" spoke Kakuzu already tired of this guy's whining. He lifted his other hand up and watched as the threads started to come out of his body and shoot into this weakling's body. It only took a moment for Kakuzu to take the man's heart and then assimilate it into his own body.

"Thank you for your contribution" spoke Kakuzu as he dropped Shiba's body onto the ground and started to walk away.

As Kakuzu was walking away he felt an odd sensation coming from close by. He strained his ears to hear anything though soon the sounds of idiots assaulted his ears. He was about to stop listening when he overhead one of them say something about a kid about to challenge them. Kakuzu thought about it and figured he could use some entertainment so he started running towards the where the sounds were coming from.

Naruto was just walking around minding his own business when out of nowhere he was surrounded by twelve bandits all varying in shape and size. They were an ugly lot that was for sure with all of them wielding different weapons such as axes, katana, knives, and other things that Naruto could see they had no real training with.

Eventually a man with no hair walked up to Naruto with an evil look in his eyes. Naruto could instantly tell he was the boss here, and wished he would put on a shirt. Just because you have abs doesn't mean everyone wants to see them.

"Alright brat, empty your pockets and you get to live" spoke the man as he held a katana out as if showing off. Naruto wasn't an idiot, these guys couldn't kill him, but they could beat the crap out of him for sure, but for some reason he was a lot more violent and quick to anger since the silver haired man had turned him immortal, which was probably why what he did wasn't so smart.

"Fuck you baldy! I wouldn't give you what you get after your body gets done digesting it" shouted Naruto with a crazy look in his purple eyes. The other bandits looked shocked, but the leader looked super pissed off.

"You are going to regret speaking to me like that you brat" shouted the man and he lifted the katana up and pulled it back like it was a bat or something.

Naruto wasn't about to let this man cleave him in half and quickly punched the man right in his balls causing him to double over in pain. Naruto quickly grabbed the katana the man had dropped and readied for the attack from the other goons.

"He just cup checked the boss" spoke a rather fat guy as he held his balls in mock pain. His weapon of choice was a large sludge hammer that Naruto was sure he could cause some serious damage with.

"Let's kill this brat" shouted another man, who was somewhat short with two knives he used as his weapons. He was the first to attack Naruto, but Naruto wasn't like other eight year olds.

Naruto had always been fast with great reflexes, so he was able to get out of the little man's attack and launch his own attack. The little man seemed surprised that an eight year old was actually fighting back, but quickly got over it and tried to stab Naruto.

Naruto wasn't about to get stabbed and used the range the katana to keep the man at bay. When he saw his chance he ducked under a wide slash and then sliced the little man across the belly with the katana as hard as he could which allowed him to split the man in half.

"He killed Hatsu" shouted another man as he pointed towards Naruto. This seemed to snap everyone out of their stupor and they all attacked Naruto at once. Naruto as fast and strong, so he was able to kill three of them, but soon he was swarmed and the men started to beat and stab him causing him to shout out with pain.

XXX

Kakuzu had to give the boy credit, he was good. to be able to fight off fully grown bandits at the age of eight even with ninja training said a lot about someone, but this kid, even though fast and strong, didn't seem to have ninja training and was able to kill five of them by himself.

"Well the kid did pretty good, but he won't survive this" spoke Kakuzu as he went to get up, but then he felt a spike in chakra and looked back at where the boy was still getting the crap beat out of him.

Many people would think that being immortal would rock because nobody could defeat you and you could go on to be this ultimate ninja, but those people were ignorant and knew nothing about what it felt like to be stabbed by a katana in the hip. Pain was pain regardless if it could kill you or not and there were many things worse than death.

As Naruto laid there getting poked and prodded by knives, swords, spears, and other things, though they only did minimal damage because of how durable Naruto now was, Naruto felt his inner rage starting to build up, and he felt power coming from it. When Naruto felt the power flow through his body he quickly stood up and knocked those idiots away from him.

Naruto quickly picked up his katana and in the blink of an eye he was gone only to reappear with his sword hilt deep against the fat man's skull. Naruto quickly ripped his sword out of the man's head and rushed over to a tall lanky man with a naginata. Naruto cut the man in half at the knees so he fell to the ground where Naruto could cut his head in half. Naruto continued to kill the bandits with sickening joy and brutal efficiency. When he was done he was panting from the power that had rushed into him from his stomach and when it was gone he felt weak.

"Bet you guys don't try and jump me again" spoke Naruto as he tossed the katana at the dead man he took it from and started to walk away. After about four steps a giant man with weird eyes and a forehead protector landed in front of him.

"Maybe I shouldn't have thrown that katana away" spoke Naruto as he started to slowly back away from the man towards his sword. The man didn't even seem to care which surprised Naruto.

When Kakuzu saw the small boy all of a sudden get some kind of adrenaline fuelled burst of energy he was surprised and enjoyed watching him kill those weakling bandits with joy, but what really interested him was that the boy only had minimal damage after those men continuously hit him with their weapons and they were even visibly healing now.

"How were you able to do that boy" asked Kakuzu as he ignored the boy's comment and the fact that he was inching towards the sword that he so carelessly threw away.

"I don't know I just felt a burst of energy when I got mad" spoke Naruto as his fingers clasped around the sword and he picked it up never taking his eyes off of the large man.

"And your wounds, how are they healing so fast" asked the man as he watched as even the worst wound Naruto had sustained had already healed and left no visible scaring or other marking.

"I am an Uzumaki and I have always had a strong healing factor, but after some crazy ritual a white haired man did to me my healing ability has increased further. It is also why my hair this silver and my eyes are purple" spoke Naruto as he held the katana in front of him preparing for anything. He knew the man was a missing ninja, and besides the fact he couldn't die, he stood no chance against this guy.

"Interesting, I haven't seen an Uzumaki since they were supposedly all killed in the Second Great Shinobi World War" spoke the man as he looked off into the distance as if he remembered it as it happened. Naruto got the funny feeling this guy was older then he thought.

"Yea well my village didn't want me to know, for some reason they thought it was funny that I never found out, but I am not stupid, so I found out for myself. This little immortality jutsu that silver haired man spoke of is just a bonus" spoke Naruto as he hoped that the fact that he was immortal would dissuade the man from trying to kill him, since it was pointless, though Naruto didn't want to mention he could still feel pain.

"There is no such thing as immortality in this world" spoke Kakuzu not liking it when people spoke of him being immortal or other's searching for immortality. It was one of the main reasons he never liked Orochimaru.

"How true, anyone can die, it is just figuring out how" spoke Naruto as he kept his eye on the giant of a man.

"What are you going to do now" asked Kakuzu, not really knowing why he did it.

"I don't know, probably look around to see if there was a reward for killing these idiot in the neighboring villages, then after that I don't know, I don't really have a purpose beside my freedom" spoke Naruto sounding a little bit uncomfortable saying that out loud. While he didn't have a goal, he did somewhat have a purpose. He would enjoy every moment he was away from Konoha that was the truth.

"How would you like to learn to become a ninja and a bounty hunter" asked Kakuzu finding the kid's immunity to normal means of death intriguing. It would be nice having someone to watch his back and not have to worry about them dying, him killing them, aging, or receiving some crippling injury that would keep them from continuing being a ninja. After all he couldn't have some retired ninja knowing anything about him, and he didn't really like the idea of having to kill a partner every time they outlived their usefulness.

Naruto was shocked, but not unhappy. He had always wanted to be a ninja, so learning from this guy sounded like a great idea. "Yea, so are you going to make me your apprentice" asked Naruto with a grin on his face. He wasn't expecting to be punched so hard his head formed a crater on the ground.

"Don't get cocky brat" spoke Kakuzu and watched as the boy pried himself out of the hole he had created. 'So he really does have immunity to regular means of death, but there has to be a catch, even he admitted to being able to be killed. This could be interesting' thought Kakuzu as he watched Naruto's body heal.

"You seem to have a good deal of durability" spoke Kakuzu as he remembered the feeling in his hand when he had punched Naruto, but then he shrugged his shoulders and began to walk away.

"Hey just because that didn't kill doesn't mean it didn't hurt" shouted Naruto as he ran to catch up with the giant man.

"Good, pain tells you when something is wrong, without it you could be walking around missing an arm and not even know it" spoke Kakuzu as he walked towards a certain village that owed him some money. He hated even spending money, but this boy was an investment, and he would pay him back triple what he made him spend.

"Yea, but that doesn't mean you have to use me to create a freaking crater" shouted Naruto as he ran to catch up with Kakuzu.

"Deal with it" was all Kakuzu said as he continued to walk.

"Oh you are going to be fun being around" spoke Naruto sarcastically as he continued to follow Kakuzu.
