Story Start!
"You're a jerk Pervy Sage."
Naruto Uzumaki, a young man of 16 years old, standing at around 5'6" in height with good lengthed spiked, blond hair. He had a tannd peach skin color, and he had bright blue eyes that conveyed his emotions easily. His cheeks were each covered with three whisker marks, and he had a slightly rounded face. He was lean muscled, though he had some bulk to his muscles, he just wasn't bulky either. He wore a black headband with a metal forehead plate, and an orange jacket with black shoulders and sleeves, with orange pants. Finally, he had on black, armored sandles on to complete his outfit, with a kunai pouch on his leg, and shuriken pouch on his back pocket.
He was sitting down on the ground, in a forest naturally, with a book in his hands.
He sat in front of a stone with the name 'Jiraiya' marked on the rock, with three kunai with strings attached to them in front of the grave marker. Naruto had a soft smile on his face, despite what his words were saying.
"You know who my Pa was this entire time, and you didn't ever tell me... ass." Naruto spoke with a grin on his face.
His father was the Fourth Hokage, the Hokage that he looked up to the most, and that he also had the biggest connection to outside of blood. He never expected that he would have such an amazing father, and when he learned who she was, he could only imagine how amazing his mother was. His father was also his Sibling Apprentice, since both of them had the same Master, Jiraiya of the Sannin was both of their teachers.
The grave said nothing.
Of course it didn't.
"I bet you know who my Ma was too, don't you? I was named after a character in your book, so of course you know who she was. Also, I'm stupid for not realizing who he was... I look just like my Pa. The only thing that's different are our faces." Naruto spoke as he rubbed his jawline. His father did have longer hair than he did, but the biggest different was the different faces that they had. He had a more heart-shaped face, while his father had a more narrow face, and their eyes were very different as well.
All that to the side, he really should have guessed it long before now, since it was really just that obvious.
Naruto grinned and leaned forward.
"Also, I'm a better Sage than you Pervy Sage. It took me less than a week to master Sage Mode, something you couldn't do in like 50 years of training, and my Sage Mode is stronger than yours is, so nyah." Naruto stuck his tongue out at the grave. He was just talking to the grave, telling Jiraiya everything that he had been doing, and that he had done. It was calming to him, helping him deal with the still recent death of his sensei. "... I met Nagato and Konan too... he was the strongest guy I've ever faced. Even more than strength though... I could understand him. He changed in the end... he brought back everyone who he killed, and sacrificed himself. I'm sure you're proud of him now." Naruto spoke with a wide smile.
He had a tear at the edge of his eye that he wiped away.
He was still sore from that battle with Nagato, who had been using the name Pain at the time. The fact that he was able to get Nagato to believe in him, and that they could form a strong bond that allowed them to trust each other, was worth all of the pain that he went through. He was sure that even though Nagato had killed their master, that Jiraiya was still very much proud of how Nagato changed in the end.
Jiraiya was that type of man after all.
Naruto paid no attention to the rustle of leaves behind him.
'Duh, he was a prodigy student way better than you idiot.'
Naruto could imagine Jiraiya saying those words to him. Though, he doubted that his teacher would mean those words. Jiraiya was rarely honest with his spoken words, he was always better at expressing the words he wasn't saying out loud.
"I also completed the Rasenshuriken. I can throw it now, and I can even use it without hurting myself if I slam it into somebody!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly, proud of his achievements. He was never able to brag to anyone about what he did, well he was, but he didn't really care about what they thought. He cared about those closest to him the most. Naruto frowned softly in thought. "... My Ninjutsu skills surpassed the Fourth Hokage, I created and mastered a technique that even Pa couldn't complete. I wish you two were alive to see it." Naruto's words were the most soft spoken yet.
He had met his father's chakra inside of his seal, but that chakra faded away. The S-Rank Forbidden Ninjutsu that he had created, by completing his father's creation the Rasengan, was something that he wanted to show off to both his father and his teacher.
He had surpassed his father and teacher, but neither of them were alive to see it, and that saddened him.
A footstep was heard in the grass behind him, softly growing closer to him.
"I'm stronger than a Kage now, it's only a matter of time before I'm the Hokage... everyone looks up to me now." Naruto stated as he looked up at the sky. "They're calling me a hero." Naruto placed his hand on the grass next to him, and he shifted his legs a little.
...
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
In a second, Naruto jerked into a standing position, and while shifting positions he crossed his fingers together. A plum of smoke appeared next to him as a copy of himself came to be. In an instant, that clone of himself placed his hands together. He vanished in a puff of smoke, and a spinning shuriken the size of a small child, appeared in the air. Naruto grabbed his clone-turned-Fuma Shuriken and leaned forward, pointing it at the heart of the person standing behind him.
He had a curved blade pointed at his chest by a surprised girl.
She was shorter than he was, but her hair was the same shade of gold as his. She had a slim body, not very muscled visibly, but she didn't have much fat either. She had moderately well sized breasts, and an hourglass figure, with good hips. She wore a black top without sleeves, and detached sleeves, with a a hole in her shirt shaped like a 4 pointed start, showing her cleavage. She had colder red eyes in contrast to his warm blue eyes, and she had light peach skin. It was her right hand that was transformed into a curved sword, and she was showing surprise that he had sensed her and reacted in time.
They stayed in position.
"You sensed me, you're skilled." She spoke as she shifted her right leg.
'Her skirt was really short, and also... are those bondage belts on her thighs... she has really nice thighs.' Naruto noticed as he looked her up and down. He noticed her getting ready to either attack, or react to an attack from him.
Her arm turned back into a regular arm.
"-but that doesn't matter, Uzumaki Naruto, you are my target."
Her hair transformed into several blades, and all of the blades came at Naruto, aiming for several vital areas. Naruto spun his Fuma Shuriken, and knocked away the blades heading for his neck and heart, while he kicked away the blade that was heading for his liver. Kicking off the blade, he spun around and kicked away the second blade heading towards his waist, before fully spinning around and throwing the Fuma Shuriken. Her severed the connection between the weapons and her hair, her blades falling to the ground as she jumped back away from him.
Naruto drew a kunai from his pouch, and reached behind him for his shuriken, grabbing several of them.
"Yeah, I'm a lot of people's target, still don't know who you are, be more clear with me, kay?" Naruto asked as he rushed her. She didn't have even a second to react before he was swinging his kunai at her. It was pure instinct that allowed her to backflip, and jump several meters away from Naruto.
As she was in the air, her back towards Naruto, he released the kunai from his hand and it flung towards her, her eye catching the action.
Her hair transformed into a large hand and grabbed a tree branch above her, yanking her body out of the way of the kunai. The kunai having nearly stabbed her in the back, but instead flying towards the Fuma Shuriken that Naruto threw earlier.
*Poof*
The Fuma Shuriken that turned back into a clone, and caught the kunai, before throwing it towards her once more. It got within inches of her face when she used her hair and transformed it into a blade and knocked away the kunai. Her feet touched the tree, and the fist her hair turned into turned back into hair, and she kicked off the tree and went back to the ground.
She felt two objects touch the back of her neck.
Naruto had made another clone, using the sound of the first clone transforming, to mask the sound of him creating a second clone. Both Naruto and his clone were holding kunai and touching her neck with the tip of them.
'He created a multi-step combat strategy in mere moments, and followed through with his plan flawlessly. He diverted my attention with a false attack made to lure me into position, and the clone's attack was to draw my attention to the clone while he prepared his real attack... he's more clever than he looks.' The assassin thought as she glanced back at Naruto. She looked for any weakness in his guard, and saw his eyes were trained on her.
She even looked and saw another Naruto standing behind the... clones she would take it. This Naruto was holding a kunai back, preparing to throw it if it looked like she was going to try and escape. The clone that threw the kunai that got her into position drew it's own kunai, and held it with a reverse grip.
She was in the middle of a formation that made it hard for her to escape.
"Who are you!?" Naruto, the one standing furthest away from her, who she assumed was the original, shouted as he looked into her sideways glancing eyes.
She was silent for a moment.
Her mind went into overdrive.
"I am Golden Darkness. I came to this planet in order to capture you. I was instructed to go after you with intent to kill." Golden Darkness spoke as her red eyes glanced up, only briefly, before she shifted her hand downwards a little.
Naruto blinked.
"... to this planet... so you're an alien... that is so AWESOME!" Naruto gave an excited shout, not doubting her for even a single moment when she stated that. Naruto didn't drop his guard when he shouted, he just looked towards her with sparkles in his eyes.
Sadly, his clones had no self-preservation instinct in them, since they were clones, and Yami turned her leg into a spiked ball and hit the two behind her in the chest. They vanished in puffs of smoke before they realized what happened. While the first clone was looking at what was happening with shock, he hair stretched and turned into a dagger that stabbed him. She turned on her heel and ran towards Naruto, her leg transforming back while running. She passed through the smoke of dead clones, and turned her arm into a sword.
Naruto threw his kunai at her first, and she leaned her head to the right while running, letting it pass by her face.
She stabbed Naruto threw the stomach.
*Poof*
When she stabbed Naruto in the stomach, she heard two puffs of smoke. The first being the clone, who she had thought was the original, vanishing. The second came from behind her, and as she turned around, she saw that Naruto was standing in place of the kunai that the clone had thrown earlier. He had the shuriken he was holding earlier in his hand as well, cementing this as the original Naruto in her mind.
'... That entire plan was just a ruse! He created a multi-layered, multi-step plan, predicting my actions! He figured that I would assume that the Naruto standing furthest away from me was the original, and transformed himself into the kunai!' Golden Darkness thought with widened eyes. She was still in the same position of attacking as earlier, having stumbled forward because of her failed attempt on Naruto's life.
She couldn't fully dodge when Naruto threw the shuriken at her, she didn't have enough time to transform her hair and escape, and none of her other transformations would allow her the speed to escape the quick moving shuriken.
Fully dodge.
She leaned out of the way of two of the shuriken, but the third one he threw gave her a not-to-shallow cut across her arm as she placed her hand against the grass to correct herself as quickly as possible. Naruto crossed his fingers, and another clone appeared, before he held his hand out. She watched as the clone helped Naruto create a spiralling yellow sphere of pure energy. Naruto vanished from site and appeared before her.
"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted as he moved his armed hand towards her chest. His eyes widened for a moment, before he pulled his arm back, stopping himself from hitting her with his attack.
He stood in front of her, attack in hand.
He clicked his teeth and the Rasengan faded away safely, while she rolled onto her feet, and hopped away from him.
'... The grave, he stopped his attack because he didn't want to destroy the grave. He's been fighting to avoid damaging the grave.' Golden Darkness could see that she had been in front of the grave Naruto had been talking to earlier when he nearly attacked her. With a moment to breath, her hair lifted up and formed 12 curved blades, all pointed towards Naruto. "You're extremely skilled, and the way you incorporate transformation with strategy is something I'll take note of." Golden Darkness spoke with respect for abilities that deserved respect.
He was foolish not to attack her, and more than likely kill her, while he had the chance. Foolishness in not finishing her aside, she could respect the amount of skill that he had shown.
Her eyes scanned the area though.
"Looking for more clones?" Naruto asked her with a wide, cocky smirk on his face. He drew a new kunai from his pouch, before he looked towards Jiraiya's grave marker. '... I can't use any destructive techniques... I better stick to the basics, distractions and Taijutsu it is.' Naruto's eyes scanned over the area, looking for what he could use.
Taijutsu wasn't the smartest option, mostly because of the way she had a strange ability to transform and control her body parts, but it was still better than using destructive Ninjutsu.
"Do you have more hidden?" Golden Darkness honestly asked him.
He seemed the type to answer.
"So you don't know then?" Naruto's answer came with a playful grin as he teased her with knowledge she wanted.
"You're very annoying."
"Says the one interupting me when I was visiting my teacher." Naruto reminded her with a more serious look. She didn't look ashamed, she lowered her stance, and leaned forward. She pointed a few of the hair blades behind herself, just incase he had another clone in her blind spot.
He did have a point.
"It's best to attack the target when their defenses are down, and they are alone. A basic rule of assassination." Golden Darkness stated to Naruto.
The battle resumed.
It was an unspoken que for them to fight. They ran towards each other, and Golden Darkness knew she had the edge in length over him. Her hair, while she was running, stretched towards Naruto with the blades getting prepared to stab him. He was several meters away from her, while her blades were only now inches away from his skin.
"Yes."
Naruto's words were clear, and when her blades made contact with his skin, her eyes widened when he gained more speed. Her blades shattered against his body completely, and Naruto cleared the distance between them faster than she was capable of tracking with her eyes. Not even her trained instincts allowed her to react in time when she saw him inches a way from her.
His eyes had transformed, changing color from blue to yellow, with bar shaped pupils, and he had orange rings over his eyes.
Naruto placed two fingers against her sternum.
Golden Darkness was knocked backwards by an unbelievable amount of raw physical force. The wind was ejected roughly from her lungs both when she felt his touch hit her, and when she was sent flying into a tree. Her body broke through the tree, before she continue her path and was stopped by another tree. Not without putting a large, cracked dent in the second tree. Spit came from her open mouth, and words escaped her as she collapsed onto her hands and knees, catching her breath the best that she could.
"When I created my first strategy, I did create another clone. While you were distracted by figuring out a way to escape my clones, I had another clone nearby gathering natural energy. I taunted you into rushing towards me, because I knew you would use your longer reach to hit me first." Naruto explained to her as he appeared before her. Even when she regained her breath, and looked up towards him, her torso hurting enough to keep her down, she saw that Naruto was holding the kunai her threw earlier at her face.
Despite having caught her breath, it was hard for her to breath, and talk to him normally. The blow to her body had caused damage through out her entire body, not just her torso.
'... I thought he was an idiot, but his battle strategy is so effective it couldn't belong to anyone but a genius. This entire battle, since he second I showed my ability to him, he picked apart how I fought and created a plan that took advantage of my abilities.' Golden Darkness looked at Naruto with admiration for his shown skills. Even though she was more than likely going to die, she was going to appreciate just how skilled the opponent who would be her killer, had turned out to be.
The entire battle, she had just been playing into his hands as he studied her abilities, and formulated a plan that turned her strength into a weakness.
Her opponent was amazing.
"We done now?" Naruto asked as he dodged the kunai from his hand and sat down on the ground in front of her. His eyes turned back to blue, and he grinned at her, completely relaxing in front of her.
What?
"I'm sorry?" Golden Darkness didn't know what to make of this.
"You're not the first person to try and kill me, and you won't be the last. You're clearly not with the Akatsuki, so who hired you, and why me?" Naruto asked Golden Darkness with laid back grin.
"A man... named Orochimaru... sent a message..."
"Orochimaru is dead, killed by my friend Sasuke." Naruto mentioned to Golden Darkness with a deadpan voice. His tone was serious, but also kind of playful if that were possible. She blinked and looked at him in surprise.
Golden Darkness frowned.
She held her chest in pain as she sat backwards, and she winced even as she bowed forward and gave Naruto the apology he deserved.
"I apologize, with my contractor dead, it seems I have no reason to target you anymore. The information I was given about you was incorrect anyway. You were detailed as an idiotic, lucky, fool who couldn't do anything but throw around his power. You're clearly a skilled ninja, capable of stealth and cunning tactics, though the idiot part seems true at first glance." Golden Darkness didn't see as Naruto's face became more sour with each word that she spoke following her apology.
Orochimaru, the asshole, couldn't have been a little nicer when hiring an assassin to kill him?
Seriously, super rude.
'Seriously, that dude, even in death, is such a bastard. It's not surprise he was able to make contact with aliens though, bastard was a genius.' Naruto looked over Golden Darkness, before she tried to stand up.
She fell back down.
"Ah!"
"Careful, I might be broken your ribs Yami... I'm pretty sure I broke your ribs when I was fighting you. Here, I'll help you up. We'll get you fixed up, I know a few medic ninja who will heal you if I ask." Naruto promised her as he grabbed her by the hand. He wrapped her arm around his shoulder, before he assisted her in standing.
'Yami?' Golden Darkness thought to herself with raised eyebrow at Naruto.
She leaned over in pain.
Everything hurt still.
"Heheheh, you noticed that... yeah, Golden Darkness is long, so I'm going to call you Yami (Darkness) for short." Naruto laughed with slightly red cheeks, having been caught in his nickname giving. He had a habit of giving people nicknames that he believed suited them. "I'm sorry about hurting you, by the way, I didn't mean to hit you this hard. Honestly, I just thought it would be best to end the fight quickly." Naruto explained when he saw the pained look on her face.
He gave her a thumbs up with his free hand.
Sage Mode was his quickest way to end the fight without spilling blood, though he did leave her in poor condition. He held back when using his Frog Strike by only using two fingers, since a full hand would kill most opponents with a clean hit, but he knew that the attack would do a lot of internal damage.
'Uzumaki Naruto, you're very strange...' Yami thought to herself as she glanced up at Naruto. "Call me what you wish, it doesn't matter much to me." Yami spoke softly as she looked around. "I'm thankful you didn't kill me." Yami mentioned to Naruto as they started to walk towards the village crater.
From her spaceship, she had seen the sorry state that Naruto's home village was in, and she knew where they were heads.
"I try to avoid killing if I think I can talk to my enemy. Though, I'm still going to give a beating to those who need one." Naruto raised his fist up with an irritated grin, thinking of a few people who could use a good beating.
"Ow."
People who would get those beatings after he got Yami healed.
