Here we are, the Naruto Invoke: Overdrive special bonus chapter.
As said in the last chapter; being the last official chapter of Overdrive, we we'll start off by answer a few questions asked of me. Also, take note that if you notice any spelling errors (which are likely to be many), its likely do to the fact that, because this is just a bonus chapter, I decided to not bother with spell check. And also, all things below (save for the very last bit which deals with act 2's release time) should be considered potential spoiler heavy. So read at your own risk.
Any who, lets get with the questions...
First, we have JOHNXgambit who asked so is ino going to try and make her move on naruto?
To be honest, this is actually a hard one to answer. Naturally, Ino isn't the kind of girl to try to get with Naruto under the current circumstances (the death of Hinata and his forcoming time of grieving). But to say that something won't happen either is also important to say. There is something coming up following the Paint My Heart Dark arc where Ino comes to Sanctuary for a specific reason. Does something happen between her and Naruto at this time will ultimately be up to you, the reader in determine based on your own personal interperitation of the scene in question.
Besides, Ino isn't Sakura; using a fake love confession on Naruto to get him to end his quest to save Sasuke due to believing she owes him (because of Sai) and as a substitute for her real reason for being there, to tell Naruto that the others have made their own decision on what should be done with Sasuke for the greater good.
The next isn't really a question meant for me, but an outward thought from mrpeeples, but I'll answer it anyways.
Your thoughts were I wonder who will win. 15 slayers or Daemon naruto? Truth is, there will be no winners here. No matter how this incident gets resolved (in chpt.1 of NITF obviously), there will be no winners, just losers because this, after all, is a lose lose situation not matter how you slice it. Either Naruto gets captured and thus is sealed into the Mazo or he kills even one Slayer and thus insures they'll never fully trust him because of that fact, even when the truth of the betrayals comes to light.
At my buddy, Chewie Cookies, all I can says is: I'm-a good with them evil cliff hangers and expect plenty more to come in Trance Forme, (cue maniacle laughter).
To redspud, you asked But what about Hinata? Obviously, Tenten will believe her no matter what and the same will be true for other girls. Hell, even Setsuna likely has a way to confirm Hinat's story using her powers. And Sakuya would know all of this. So, do you really think they will revive Hinata without making sure she confirms what they want her to confirm? Just prepare for things to become complicated...
adngo714 wondered what made Sakuya kill Bartz? While its still to soon to reveal the full story, I will say this much. Sometimes, in the heat of the moment (and possible hysteria) can lead a person to do something horrible, then block that memory afterwards; creating a falsehood to act as a stand in.
Now for my Guest. For your first question, you asked How much does Daemon Mode match up with "Version 2" or the Blood cloaked Jinchuriki form? In Naruto's case, his current appearance is identical to how he looked when he went into four tailed mode against Orochimaru at Tenchi Bridge. Basically, Daemon Mode is the name I've given to the version 2; blood/chakra cloak mode to go along with version 1 chakra shroud form being called Mazuko Mode in this story.
As for your second question; About the designs of the fake Kusanagi and the original? Yes, the fakes resmble the ones seen in the anime during the Orochimaru vs Sarutobi fight with the hilt being all scale covered like the body of the snake while the true Kusanagi's hilt resembles the one Sasuke has and uses in both manga and anime.
And at Spartan Ninja; bring on your million copies for I have Hinata at my back and I'll tell her you are the one keeping her from being with Naruto. See how long you last then hah hah hah.
(moving on)
Now that the questions are out of the way, we move on to a series a hints as to what is coming. Warning, the following does contain some slight spoilers, so don't read if you want to keep pure in the knowing, or lack there of...(take note that these events may not be in exact order of happening)
The first arc, do to the tragic events, Yami resurfaces and gains control and must be stopped before he does something that will insure Naruto can never come back...
Beyond that...
The girl begins her training anew, a falsehood being her fuel towards greater strength...
On a walkabout, the boy meets familiar faces and finds the resolve to carry one...
A new wind begins to blow as a new Sage emerges to claim tomorrow...
Darkness falls again upon Senhana, death and destruction will beckon the hero to come...
The fox and the snake will face each other again for the sake of a simple question...
A return to the hellish realm to uncover the truth behind the traitor of the Uchiha...
Tobi's truth and Mada's truth, together they shall be revealed in a fight to the death...
The young girl will awaken the eyes of the sister...
The true face will be revealed and the original snake will walk this world again...
The princess will return to claim her right, bringing her demons with her...
Shamans and Samurai, and alliance for war with aid from the man called the Man Slayer..
She will finally achieve the state of All Knowing...
In the forbidden city, the fates of the two will be decided with the addition of the one...
(moving on)
Yeah, that's a lot of stuff I said above and its all stuff I've already decided will happen in act 2, though expect a few additions for padding sakes (there will be a third act to Invoke that will finish off the story).
Now, for the last bit in this bonus chapter, I'll give you an excerp from one of the Trance Forme chapters. Note that this isn't from chapter 1, but one further down the lines that (like I said last chapter), I wrote in a moment of pure insperation that came to me. I don't know the number this chapter will have for obvious reasons, though I'm guessing it will be twenties of maybe thirties. But enough cocking around.
Like above, do not read this if you don't want ANY spoilers for Trance Forme. If you do skip, then jump all the way to the bottom for Trance Forme's release date. And now, for those of you who are reading, I give you...
chpt.?: Badass Syndrome
"So why did you come here. Konoha dog?" asked Jirobo as he and the others looked down at Naruto.
"I'm currently not a ninja of Konoha" replies Naruto matter of factly.
"That is not the issue; we're asking why you have come here" said Kidomaru.
"Is it to get revenge on lord Orochimaru and us for what we did to Konoha?" further asked Tayuya.
"I do have business with Orochimaru; so either take me to him or step aside" replied Naruto.
"Cheeky brat. You are in no position to be making such grandious commands unto us" said Sakon.
Naruto looks up at them, his face showing his seriousness, as he says "I'll make you take me to him."
The four Oto nin become angry at those words before spreading out to surround Naruto from all sides. Naruto just turns his head and shifts his body enough to view each one before sighing and saying "I guess this was unavoidable; oh well."
"You really want us to take you to lord Orochimaru?" asked Tayuya.
"Fine then, we'll take you to him..." said Jirobo.
"In pieces" finish's Kidomaru before spitting his web from his mouth; aimed at Naruto.
Naruto simply shifts his body; allowing the webbing to fly past him. He then grabs hold of the web before looking up at Kidomaru and says "Don't be shy", then yanks on the webbing hard to causing Kidmaru to be flung down towards him.
'Damn, he's improved since that last time' thinks Kidomaru as he prepares to counter attack.
"Sorry, but that won't work" said Naruto, seeing Kidomaru's hand signs.
Then, using his free hand, Naruto makes a hand sign himself and says in a quiet voice "Release."
Kidomaru sees Naruto's body pulse for a second, but grabs onto his web and tries to swing around Naruto while wrapping the webbing around his neck with plans to choke him to death. But Naruto raises his left arm up and close lines Kidomaru; sending him into the ground.
"What?" shouts Kidomaru before Naruto picks him up and effortlessly tosses him a good hundred feet back and sending him crashing through a wall.
"No way..." shouts Tayuya.
"That brat just got lucky" says Jirobo before jumping down onto the ground, then charges at Naruto.
Just as Jirobo gets close, Naruto turns calmly to look at him before moving at incredible speed and grabs Jirobo's face and lifts him into the air. As Jirobo struggles to get free, Naruto slams him into the ground with enough force to create a crater.
Sakon then jumps down, but doesn't go at Naruto. Instead, he ask "How the hell are you doing this?"
Naruto turns to look at him and in doing so, Sakon gets his answer just by looking at Naruto. "So that's it. You entered Sage Mode somehow."
"A shadow clone I made before coming in here. I released it while the web head was falling towards me" explained Naruto.
Sakon remembers Naruto making a hand sign just before plowing Kidomaru into the ground. "I see. We had heard that Jiraiya had taken you under his wing; trained you to become his successor as a Sage. But seeing you as such is rather unexpected."
"Will you take me to see your boss now? Or do I have to encourage your cooperation?" asked Naruto.
Sakon chuckles a little before saying"Don't tell me you actually believed seeing you as a Sage would really make us cower in fear and take you to see our lord? Though I admit that this is a troublesome turn of events. It is also nothing that we can't handle."
At his words, Jirobo rolls away from Naruto, then gets back on his feet and moves to stand by Sakon while Tayuya jumps down to join them. Kidomaru also emerges from the hole in the wall and joins them as well.
"So, you think stage two of the curse mark will work against me?" asked Naruto.
"No, the second stage wouldn't be enough" said Ukon as he sepporates from Sakon's back.
"So that's why..." said Kidomaru.
"We'll take it into..." said Jirobo.
"The THIRD STATE" shouts Tayuya as they each jump into the air and away from each other while black tendrils burst forth from their curse marks and wrap around their bodies like cocoons.
Naruto squints his Sage eyes as he thinks 'Their chakra's are increasing at an exponential rate; filling with so much negative energy and animosity, such hate and evil.'
After a few tense seconds, cracks appear on the enlarged cocoons before they burst open and release their owners, who land on the ground. The sight of them fills Naruto with disgust as he takes up a stance that will allow him to better conter attack.
Jirobo had transformed into a massive and bulky golem like creature that was at least three times Naruto's size. His skin looked to be made of a coal like armor.
Kidomaru had morphed into a spider who's eight legs looks like rolled out pieces of paper. His head was oval shaped and covered in spikes and his body was long and thin like a missile.
Tayuya appeared the most human of them; her long slender body with very long legs that ended in points instead of feet. Her arms were slim at the shoulders, but grew into wide hands. She seemed to be floating somehow and her head had snake like hair and long pointed imp like ears.
Both Sakon and Ukon had morphed into what appeared to be one winged gargoyle like beast. And as they did in their other states; they appeared to be mirror images of one another. Weirdest was the fact they had holes in the center of their chest, yet appeared to be uneffected by it.
"I'll ask once more; take me to your boss and we can avoid any unneeded difficulties" said Naruto.
"Avoid any unneeded difficulties? Don't make us laugh" shouts Kidomaru before launching himself into the air, spinning rapidly as he did so, and made a beeline towards Naruto.
Tayuya growls at Naruto before the lines along her body light up and she vanishes from sight. Both Sakon and Ukon began to fly in a circular motion over Naruto while Jirobo slams his massive fist together as he prepares for his attack.
Kidomaru controls him movement through the air, shifting his movements as he comes down at Naruto. Building up Sage chakra into his feet, Naruto jumps clear as Kidomaru comes zooming past him. As Naruto comes to land on the ground again, he sees Kidomaru's body stop spinning as his paper thin legs suddenly shoot outwards at him.
"What...?" shouts Naruto before the legs come in and wrap around him, pinning his arms to his body and his legs together.
"Welcome to my web, said the spider man to the brat. Now, time to finish you" says Kidomaru as he opens his massive maw of a mouth and unleashes an alarming amount of silver colored webbing.
The webbing hits Naruto, covering him from head to toe till his body was completely incased within the silver cocoon. Satfisfied, Kidomaru breaks the still exposed parts of his legs away and draws them back close to his body.
"Now, time to have myself a...WHAT?" shouts Kidomaru as the silver cocoon starts to shake, then a blade of emerald green chakra slices out of the cocoon, then up till the cocoon splits in half.
"Is that all?" asked Naruto as he takes the Shift Anchor in his hand and begins to spin it around his finger via the small loop at the end of the hilt.
Kidomaru roars as he sends his paper thin legs racing down at Naruto again while Sakon and Ukon also move to attack him.
"Just give it up; you can't win" said Naruto who returns to the Shift Anchor to it's holding place within the right sleeve of his sage garment. He then raises his right arm into the air; a ball of spiraling chakra forming followed by four energy blades emerging from the sphere.
Sakon and Ukon stops as they see the massive energy shuriken; knowing that it was dangerous just from looking at it. Kidomaru, on the other hand, ignores to obvious signs and keeps his attack at Naruto coming.
"Wind style Rasengan; Rasenshuriken" says Naruto calmly before launching the attack at Kidomaru.
The paper thin legs of Kidomaru's spider form are caught in the spinning and spiraling attack and are instantly destroyed by it. Kidomaru finally realizes the danger and tries to back away, but he finds his body being sucked closer to the shuriken as his legs were pulling him in.
"NO, IMPOSSIBLE. YOU CAN'T BE THIS STRONG" screams Kidoamru as he is sucked into the shuriken.
The moment his body touches the blades, the energy attack expands and sucks him into the center. Kidomaru's scream is drowned out by the sound of millions of microscopic Rasengan's rip into his body. Finally, the attack comes to an end and the shredded remains of Kidomaru falls onto the ground.
"That's one down" said Naruto as he looks up at the twin gargoyles.
"You bastard; how dare you make a mockery of lord Orochimaru's gift" shouts Jirobo in his deep, booming voice.
A pulse of energy passes through his massive, rocky arms that passes into the ground and slices a large sized chunk of it free. Then, digging into the earth, Jirobo pulls the massive piece of earth free from the ground and lifts it into the air over his body.
"Well, you certantly are strong" said Naruto as he brased himself with his feet digging into the ground.
"Now to squash you like the bug you are" says Jirobo as he tosses the massive piece of earth at Naruto.
Naruto shouts out a battle cry as he brings both his hands out before his body, further bracing himself to try to block the attack. The chunk of earth crash into Naruto, creating a thunderous crash as the ground shakes from the impact.
"That ended his bravado" said Jirobo.
"Wait, something is happening" said Sakon as the chunk of earth begins to shake.
Then, to their surprise and astonishment, the massive chunk is lifted into the air. Naruto then appears, holding the earth with a single hand and a smirk on his face as he looks at Jirobo.
"Excuse me; is this you?" asked Naruto.
"DAMN YOU" bellows Jirobo before charging forward, slowly due to his added weight, at Naruto.
"I guess so. Here, then let me return it to you" said Naruto before shifting his position, brings his right hand back, then thrust forward and sends the chunk flying back at Jirobo.
The giant Oto nin tries to block it like Naruto had somehow done before. But when the chunk of earth hits him, it impacts with so much force that both it and Jirobo go sailing back and crashing through a wall. Only a small part of his body was still visible; the rest had been crushed from the result of action.
Naruto looks up at Sakon and Ukon and ask "Well, ready to play ball now?"
(within Orochimaru's private chambers)
The sudden and violent shakes in his layer had not gone unnoticed by the snake Sannin who gets up from his chair and walks towards the door. Before taking his fifth step, the door opens and Kabuto enters the room.
"Kabuto, mind telling me what is going on?" asked Orochimaru.
"It would seem that we have an unexpected visitor. The Four Wave's have engaged him in combat and from what I can sense, they have entered the third state" said Kabuto.
"Most intruging" said Orochimaru as he smiled deviously.
"Perhaps, but that does make me feel some concern here. After all, once entered into the third state, one can never revert back to their original self. For the Four Waves to go this far; just what kind of enemy would force them to sacrifice their humanity?" asked Kabuto.
"An enemy I would very much like to meet" said Orochimaru in anticipation. "Where is Kimimaro?"
"I believe he's already gone to investigate himself" said Kabuto.
"Then we better hurry or we'll miss all of the fun" said Orochimaru as he and Kabuto turn and exit the room.
(back with Naruto and the Four Wave's)
Seeing as the two gargoyle wannabe's were still holding their tongues, Naruto decided to force the issue. But just as he takes a step, a sudden flash of light appears next to his left arm, just above the elbow, followed by a deep cut appearing in his clothes and blood bursting forth from the cut.
'What?' thinks Naruto before another flash occurs on his right leg running down.
Another burst of blood occurs before Naruto collapses to his knee. At first, Naruto is confused by what was happening. Then he remembers the girl having dissapeared before and realizing that she must be doing it.
'OK Naruto, just stay calm and think. First, did she just make herself invisible or is she moving incredibly fast? Judging from the injuries she's inflicting on me, it has to be the latter as while I'm in Sage Mode, cutting me like this would be extremely difficult' thought Naruto as he calmed himself.
Having figured that part, the next step was how to counter her; assuming his guess was right. Throwing his arms up to cover his face as he slightly hunchs forward, Naruto closes his eyes and reaches out with his sensory abilites. And from this, he is able to pick her up all over the opened area.
'Guess I was right about the speed power' thought Naruto as he went to the next step.
As Tayuya pelts him with more strikes that sent blood shooting out, Naruto sees a pattern forming with her movement. Before each attack, she would always come at him in a straight line. As she hits him with another strike, Naruto begins to form a Rasengan in one hand.
After detecting her circling around and coming at him again, Naruto spins around and brings the Rasengan in line with her movement just in time for Tayuya to run into it before she could dodge around. She howls in pain as she's sent flying back; slamming into a wall.
"We got you, now" shouts Sakon as he swoops in and fires a beam of chakra from the hole in his chest.
Naruto barely jumps clear in time before the beam slams into the ground, destroying everything in that spot. Just as he lands, Naruto sees Ukon come at him from another angle and fires off his own chakra beam. Naruto jumps again, only to find himself being hit by another beam sent out by Sakon.
As Naruto tries to get back on his feet, thanking Kami that he was still in Sage Mode or that would have killed him outright, notices Sakon and Ukon come around and take up positions to fire on him again.
'Damn, I'm almost of of Sage Chakra. I better make this attack count' thinks Naruto as the two brothers fire their attacks at him.
Naruto uses his left hand to propel himself into the air to avoid the attack, but the beams follow after him; thus letting Naruto know they could likely be hit by the others attack without consequence.
Naruto comes to a stop between them and crosses his hands over his chest as he gathers his Sage chakra together for this final justu. As the chakra beams come upon Naruto, he shouts out...
"Sage art: Nature Pulse."
Naruto thows his arms outwards and unleashes a pulse of chakra like a bubble outwards. The chakra pulse slams into Sakon and Ukon, sending them flying back and impacting them into the wall/ceiling. Naruto falls back to the ground, breathing heavily as he feels his Sage Mode starting to fade out.
"Well, at least I dealt with them" said Naruto as he starts to get back to his feet.
"Impressive. I didn't expect you to beat them within the third state" came a voice that makes Naruto spin around.
Just in time for him to be impaled through the stomach by a large bone spike. Naruto coughs up blood as he finds himself back on the ground, stuck there. Four more bone spikes come raining down and pin Naruto's hands and feet to the ground as well. And then, Kimimaro appears within view.
"Its been a while" said Kimimaro as he looks down at Naruto.
Naruto, despite the pain, recognizes Kimimaro immediately and says "You, you're the one I battled during the invasion of Konoha."
Kimimaro nods and says "You remember; I'm honored. So, you came for lord Orochimaru?"
"That's right" said Naruto as he tries, in vain, to free himself.
"Then I must kill you then" said Kimimaro as he reaches into his garments and pulls out a metal ball. He then lights the fuse and tosses it down at Naruto. A second later, the metal ball explodes.
"I am sorry for this. After all, I did owe you a debt" said Kimimaro as he turns to leave.
But before he could take a step, a blast of energy erupts from the smoke made by the explosion; making Kimimaro turn back in time to see Naruto shoot out of the smoke into the sky.
"So, you survived some how. Did you enter Sage Mode again?"
A second later, Naruto turns to look at Kimimaro; revealing his Kyu Mask and his red irises and slit like pupils. A second later, a cloak of red/orange chakra forms around Naruto followed by three chakra tails rising up out of the cloak.
"Now I see. You are, after all, a Jinchurriki first and formost. So, this will be a little more difficult than one would imagine" said Kimimaro as he activates his curse mark and enters the second stage.
Looking down and seeing Kimimaro's skin turn brown and a tail growing out, Naruto growls as he thinks 'Its been a while since I last used this power. I hope I'm not rusty.
"So, are we ready to begin our battle?" asked Kimimaro.
"Before we beging, I have a question for you" asked Naruto.
"And that would be?" asked Kimimaro.
"Before, you said you owed me a debt. What did you mean by that?" asked Naruto.
"When we last battled, I ran you through with one of my bone weapons. When I did this, a pulse of your demonic chakra shot into me. That chakra apparently cured me of my terminal illness. For that, I owe you a debt; even if that was a fluke" said Kimimaro.
"If you take me to see Orochimaru, then I'll consider that debt repayed. Not that you owe me anything" said Naruto.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't do that. If you want my lord, then you'll have to kill me" said Kimimaro.
"Have it your way" said Naruto as he released both Shift Anchor's from his sleeves, grabbing them and forming deep red chakra blades from the center of the tri-blades..
(end of excerp)
I gott admit, that was longer than I planned to give out, but I figured what the hell. The above is basically all I have wriiten of this particular chapter thus far. The rest will be done once I actually get to the point the chapter actually happens in Trance Forme. The additional parts will include a scene before Naruto vs the Sound Four involving other characters (I'm staying mum on who for now) and will continue and end with Naruto vs Kimimaro and Naruto facing Orochimaru, the last line being Naruto asking his question.
Now for the big question I know you are all asking? Just when exactly will Naruto Invoke: Trance Forme be coming to FF? While I would like to say "the first chapter is already up", that would be a lie as I haven't started writing chapter 1 yet. I've decided that before I begin Trance Forme, I will be releasing my second Naruto Invoke movie fic.
So be on the look out over the next couple of weeks for my release of Fade Away; Say My Name which will compromise chapters 6 through 10 of the existing Naruto Invoke movie fics fan fiction, which already had Demon of the Blue Kingdom movie fic as its chapters 1 through 5. I'm not sure when it will be out, but I say look for it either the week of Halloween or the first full week of November. And Trance Forme will begin before Thanksgiving.
Well, that's it for now. I hope you all read Fade Away; Say My Name when its released (and Demon of the Blue Kingdom if you haven't yet already) and will return for Invoke act 2.
This is Keyote, signing off and beging to work on the movie fic no.2!
