Here is the long awaited new Chapter of Naruto: Master of the Spirit beasts, i know it took long but i have been kind of busy since i'm a graduating student at high school, so go easy on me. The reason my chapters are shorter than the massive 20,000 word 1st chapter is because i felt it was a little too long.
Enjoy the Chapter!
Team 7 were waiting in the indoor arena as the Hokage explained the true purpose of the chuunin exams, irritating a lot of the genin.
"So, I heard that you ran into Orochimaru in the forest, tell me why you didn't summon any of us to help out?" Kakashi asked them sternly.
Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and looked at Kakashi, then back at each other. "Well…I can summon the Kyuubi now…and he kind of beat up Orochimaru for us…" Naruto fidgeted in place
Kakashi inwardly sighed in relief. "I'll report this to the Hokage and you tell the rest of the team."
They nodded and they went to tell the others what had happened.
Soon the prelims were going to start and Zabuza appeared out of nowhere. "I'm your proctor for the preliminaries and the final exam. These will be one on one matches selected at random, the match will stop if I say so, one surrenders or is unable to battle, or if one is killed. Go against my authority and I'll let you play with me for a little while." He grinned wickedly, making them shiver.
The board then chose "Uchiha Sasuke vs. Akada Yoroi(I think that's his name)."
"Well, it looks like I'm up." Sasuke said and jumped into the arena.
"Good luck!" Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura wished him.
Sasuke waved in response as his opponent stood before him.
Zabuza looked at the too then shouted "Begin!"
Sasuke immediately did the seals for his fireball jutsu and launched it at Yoroi, who narrowly dodged and grabbed Sasuke's arm, draining his chakra.
"What the?" Sasuke said.
"Hehe, it's my ability." Yoroi smirked.
Hakuron, who is currently within Sasuke felt the aggravation of his master's chakra, and summoned himself to protect him.
Hakuron roared fiercely and lashed at Yoroi, making him back off from Sasuke. The appearance of the large majestic white tiger shocked many who didn't know about him.
"Thanks, Hakuron." Sasuke grimaced. "Use Lightning bolt!"
The tiger growled and electricity cackled around the beast and shot at Yoroi as a thick bolt of lightning.
Having not dodged fast enough, Yoroi was hit and screamed in pain before passing out.
"Winner! Uchiha Sasuke!"
Cheers from Konoha rung through the air as Sasuke made his way back to the balcony.
(AN: For those who wish to see more of the preliminaries, I sincerely apologize as I was never particularly interested in this part, making it a little hard for me to write it, I'm just going to skip to the finals and the invasion, the finalists are the same as the original story. Gaara by the way did not cripple Lee by crushing the leg)
Timeskip-Finals
"Let the match between Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuuga Neji begin!" Genma announced.
Naruto and Neji immediately summoned their spirit beasts, earning sounds of amazement from the crowd.
"Seiryoku, you ready for this?" Naruto asked the lion.
"Of course master." Seiryoku bowed.
"Saikuron, are you ready?" Neji asked the falcon.
"Yes of course Neji-sama." The falcon replied.
Fire gathered around Naruto's outstretched hand and a large bolt launched itself at Neji, who briskly dodged and sent a bolt of lightning in return.
A shield of pure fire swirled around Naruto and Seiryoku, blocking the bolt.
"Bestial wrath!" Naruto shouted. Seiryoku gave a loud roar and his grew in size, his fur turning red and his eyes glowed eerily. Naruto felt the increase in power as small flames swirled around him in a gentle dance.
"Firebolt!" Naruto ordered as his weaved through his own seals.
The lion unleashed a large fireball that was similar to the grand fireball technique.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" Naruto shouted and a large gust of wind met the fireball from behind, feeding it, making it turn white with intensity and it doubled in size.
"Feral form!" Neji shouted. The Bird cackled with electricity and 2 large falcon wings sprouted from Neji's back as he settled into his jyuuken stance. He blurred into action and his hand barely skimmed Naruto's side as he narrowly dodged.
Neji's hands sparked with lightning making the Jyuuken even more deadly.
Naruto jumped away and sent a barrage of shadow shuriken and kunai at Neji.
"Kaiten!" Neji yelled and spun rapidly, the rotating chakra shield deflecting the weapons.
Naruto quickly switched out Seiryoku with Kurogane.
"Gale storm!" Naruto commanded, the gryphon made a howling screech and the wind picked up, viciously dancing in the arena.
Deep gashes appeared all over the ground and walls, cuts and lacerations.
Naruto once again switched spirit beasts and casted "Call of the Wild!"
Seiryoku gave a commanding roar and lions made entirely of fire were summoned and charged Neji, who was trying to see from all the dust and debris that was picked up in the wind.
Saikuron, seeing his master in danger made a deafening screech, dark clouds rolled in right above them and small lightning strikes flashed at struck at the fire lions, dispelling them.
"Roar of courage!" Naruto said and Seiryoku complied, an image of a lion roaring appeared over Naruto's head as his glowed orange from the power up. The light faded and Naruto charged Neji. They clashed in a vicious battle of taijutsu, Naruto slowly gaining the upper hand.
Meanwhile…
"Somehow…this doesn't seem like a genin battle." A jounin commented dryly.
"Yeah…more like a jounin battle to me." Another sighed.
You have no idea… The members of team Tairei who heard this comment thought at the same time.
Back to the battle…
Naruto, being more experience finally managed to pin down Neji as Seiryoku did the same to Saikuron.
"Winner! Uzumaki Naruto!" Genma called the match.
Cheers erupted from the stands.
Both spirit beasts returned to their masters' body as Naruto helped Neji up and healed his wounds.
"Hehe, you're getting better Neji." Naruto grinned.
"It's nice to know that I have lasted longer than last time." Neji nodded in approval as they shook hands.
"Will Aburame Shino and Sabaku no Kankuro enter the field?"
Shino's sunglasses sparkled at the thought of finally fighting someone strong until…
"Proctor, I forfeit." Kankuro said.
Shino slumped his shoulders as Naruto and Sasuke gently patted him on the back.
"Don't worry, you'll get your chance." Sasuke reassured.
"…" Shino sighed.
"Okay then, By Default, Winner is Aburame Shino." Genma sighed and announced "Will Sabaku no Temari and Shikamaru Nara enter the field?"
(AN: I know that Sasuke's fight is supposed to be next, but since Gaara's fight is the signal for the invasion, I thought it would be nice for Shikamaru's abilities be shown BEFORE the invasion.)
"Tch. Troublesome." Shikamaru grumbled as he walked down onto the field. He wanted to forfeit, but the stares from Gaara, Naruto, Sasuke, Shino, and Neji that screamed 'I dare you to forfeit' made him go into the arena.
"Begin!"
Shikamaru instantly leapt into the shadows and summoned his panther spirit beast, Kurai.
"Kurai, use Shadowmeld on both of us, I need some time to think." Shikamaru whispered to the large panther.
Kurai nodded and casted Shadowmeld. The two instantly melded into the shadows, shadowing them from sight.
"Where did you go boy?" Temari growled as she looked around in all directions.
Shikamaru snapped his eyes open as he thought of his plan a few moments later.
"Kurai, use Veil of Darkness then shadow form on both of us." Shikamaru commanded.
"Of course master." Kurai said and did as he was told.
Darkness crept onto the arena, shielding everything engulfed from view from the outside or in.
"What? What's going on? Grr! I'll just have to blow this all away!" Temari then reared up her fan and swung, but the darkness didn't lift a bit, causing her to panic slightly. She then saw two pairs of glowing eyes.
"Ninja art: Shadow paralysis technique." Shikamaru said and his shadow made its way to Temari and connected it to her.
"I can't move…" Temari stuttered.
The veil of darkness lifted and everyone could see what was happening again.
What they saw shocked them.
A panther the same size as Seiryoku was behind the girl with his jaws full of sharp teeth positioned at the side of her neck, ready to clamp down and end her life. A shadow connected from Temari and Shikamaru told the ninja who knew the technique exactly what was going on.
"Proctor, I forfeit." Temari said as she eyed the razor sharp teeth by her neck fearfully.
"Winner! Nara Shikamaru." Genma shouted and cheers met this announcement.
"Yeah! Shikamaru! You kicked her ass!" Kiba shouted from the stands.
"Troublesome." Shikamaru sighed and went back to the waiting area.
"Will Uchiha Sasuke and Sabaku no Gaara enter the field."
"No hard feelings?" Sasuke offered his hand. Gaara eyed it and Naruto took one of Gaara's hands and put it into Sasuke's and shook it.
"Like this Gaara!" Naruto smiled brightly.
Gaara nodded and said "No hard feelings…but I cannot guarantee the same for Shukaku."
'HEY! I heard that!' Shukaku whined. 'Don't be so mean!'
Gaara only shook his head at Shukaku's childish whining.
Sasuke and Gaara entered the field and sand and fire met each other in a devastating clash as soon the match begun.
"Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke shouted and blew the fireball at Gaara, who blocked it with a shield of sand.
Feathers fell from the sky, making the civilians and a few of the observing genin and academy students fall asleep and slump in their seats.
All the ninja knew it was a genjutsu and released themselves from it.
"Kai!" They muttered to themselves.
Naruto noticed Sarutobi get led away by the Kazekage and immediately followed.
Kakashi and Tenzo shouted orders at team Tairei while Hiashi ordered his clan members.
Giant snakes appeared all over Konoha. Jiraiya handled the ones near the main walls with his frog summons while he rode on his own spirit beast (Courtesy of Naruto after meeting him) which was a giant snowy owl.
Team Tairei handled the other Giant snakes rather well. Chouji's boar did an excellent job at ramming the snakes over because of its insane strength.
Tenzo bound one in wood and crushed it.
Kakashi completely electrocuted his.
Kiba and 'Cerberus' ploughed down another with his clan as Shino did the same with the other.
Itachi and Sasuke were busy fighting the sound ninjas in the stadium like the others.
Hinata was with some of the jounins healing them while they fought.
Hiashi was killing some in a the park.
Temari and Kankuro along with Baki encouraged Gaara to start attacking, but Gaara only summoned Shukaku in his human form and let him attack sound ninjas.
"Why are you doing this Gaara? We are supposed to be attacking Konoha!" Baki said.
"Really? I heard 'kill the sound ninja'" Gaara monotone as he watched Shukaku cackle with glee as he destroyed the sound Ninjas.
"No...the plan was to kill the Leaf ninja." Kankuro corrected him.
"Huh, i could've sworn we were supposed to kill the sound." Gaara replied.
"No...Gaara, kill leaf ninja, help sound ninja." Baki sighed.
"Well..." Gaara started as he saw Shukaku wipe out another squad of sound ninja. "Too late now, I'm killing the sound ninja." and crushed a nearby sound nin.
Meanwhile…
The barrier was put up around Sarutobi and Orochimaru by the sound four.
"Don't worry old man! I got your back!" Naruto gave a serious look that looked kind of funny and flashed a thumbs up.
Sarutobi tripped over his feet comically and looked at Naruto with a ridiculous look. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I came to help you out!" Naruto grinned.
Sarutobi just smacked his forehead and sighed.
"Kukuku, my my Naruto-kun, I know you do not have the energy to summon your furry friend again to help you out this time, I can sense it." Orochimaru grinned with arrogance.
Damn it, he knows my secret… Naruto squinted his eyes.
'it's not really much of a secret dumb ass. This barrier…it's shrouded with demonic energy, I wouldn't try summoning your friends, there was not enough space for old goat and snake freak to fight in the first place, but you being here make it really crowded for room. If anyone but you touches that barrier, they get burnt to ashes.'
Naruto gulped at that and whispered the message to Sarutobi, who nodded grimly.
"Hashirama!" Sarutobi called out and the large brown bear made its appearance.
"Summoning Techique! Enma!" Sarutobi said again and the monkey king made his appearance.
"Orochimaru again eh? I told you, you should have killed him that time before…" Enma said.
"I know, and I'm paying the consequences." Sarutobi sighed.
"Forbidden technique: Impure world resurrection!" Orochimaru cackled and 2 coffins appeared, one that said Shodaime and the other Nidaime. They opened to reveal both previous Hokages.
"What is going on? Sarutobi?" Hashirama asked.
"Hey look! He's an old man now!" Tobirama laughed and pointed at Sarutobi, who had a large tick mark on his head.
"COOL! It's the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage! Too bad we had to meet like this though…" Naruto pouted.
Orochimaru wasted no time and shoved two kunai in the back of the 2 dead hokage's heads, making their eyes go white and an emotionless face too place.
"Wow…Do you suck that badly?" Naruto asked, hoping to make the dead hokages go after him so Sarutobi could fight Orochimaru alone.
"What was that brat?" Orochimaru sneered.
"Just stating the obvious. If you are all powerful as you say, then you wouldn't be some wimp and hide behind the two previous hokages like some coward, unless you can't beat the old man by yourself?" Naruto taunted, which Orochimaru was quickly falling for.
Sarutobi and Enma caught on to what Naruto was doing and kept quiet, trying to muffle their snickers.
"Geez, The old man is older than you are but I'm pretty sure that old age is getting to you, you wrinkled snake freak. The perverted acts with children must be contributing to your bad back and sore hips. I didn't know you liked it so rough snake freak." Naruto sighed in comically exasperation as the observing Anbu and Kakashi tried to muffle their laughter but failed and burst out laughing as well at Sarutobi and Enma.
"Shodaime, Nidaime, KILL THAT BRAT! I will deal with this old man myself!" Orochimaru growled.
"Tch, you must have been a feisty uke Orochimaru." Naruto grumbled, but the ninja heard it, making them go into another fit of laughter.
The Shodaime shouted "Wood Style: Dense Woodland!" and trees erupted from the ground, turning the battlefield into a dense forest.
The Nidaime seemingly had an endless amount of chakra, sent water dragons and shark bombs at Naruto at a rapid pace while the Shodaime had wooden pikes fly after him.
"HOLY SHIT!" Naruto shouted and ran through the trees, dodging each comically. "WHAT IS WITH YOU CRAZY ASSHOLES? THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!" he screamed as he ran from each attack, he would have been on the offense…only if the 2 most powerful hokages weren't trying to kill him. He didn't even bother summoning Seiryoku or Kurogane, it would have been a waste of energy seeing as he couldn't do anything to them from the lack of fighting experience and prowess compared to the Nidaime and Shodaime right now.
The Anbu and Kakashi sweatdropped as they saw Naruto run and dodge from the various attacks from their previous Hokages while screaming comically.
On the other half of the battlefield, Sarutobi had Enma transform into the diamond staff and Hashi in his feral form.
Hashi made a wall of fire per his master's request so that Orochimaru would be burned badly if he wanted to go after Naruto, who he could hear the screams from.
Back with Naruto…
"THIS IS FUCKING INSANE!" Naruto yelled after he again narrowly dodged a wooden pike flying at him.
"Water Style: Water Dragon!" Nidaime called again and another dragon made of water chased Naruto.
"THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF LIMIT TO THIS!" Naruto exclaimed and dodged behind a tree.
Naruto ran from the hokages and was faced with a wall, which Kakashi and Anbu were on the other side.
Shodaime cornered him by making a net of thick branches as a wall to prevent Naruto from running again.
Naruto turned to look at Kakashi and the Anbu and mouthed 'Help me!' with a desperate look on his face and leapt to dodge a water shark bomb aimed at him.
"Water style: Water Bullets!" Nidaime yelled and spat large globs of water like a gun at Naruto, who ran.
'Kit, charge some of my chakra into your fit and punch the barrier to break it!'
Naruto charged the red chakra into his fist and charged the barrier and punched it. It cracked, but not by much. "AWW COME ON! I'm getting blasted by water sharks and dragons and skewered by wooden pikes and this stupid barrier can't give me any leeway?" Naruto whined as a pike grazed his cheek and slammed into the barrier, catching on fire and burning to a crisp. Naruto looked behind him fearfully.
The Anbu and Kakashi saw the crack and got into their battle stances.
"C'mon! Keep trying Naruto! You have to break it!" Kakashi shouted.
They shouted encouragements at Naruto.
"Shadow clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted and puffs of smoke filled the caged in area. "ATTACK!"
The clones and Naruto gave a barrage of kicks and punches enhanced with the Kyuubi's chakra, but only large cracks appeared on the shield.
"Okay guys! Human Cannonball!" Naruto said as puffs of smoke appeared from the clones being killed by the hokages.
Naruto completely coated himself with the red chakra and a Naruto clone took his hands and spun him around to gain momentum and threw Naruto at the barrier.
Naruto struck the barrier, but only made a really big crack, he slid down from where he hit as he hand swirls in his eyes from the spinning.
Kakashi saw this and could only shout "WHAT KIND OF MORON ARE YOU!" at the stupid but somewhat brilliant idea.
'YOU IDIOT!'
The Anbu could only face palm at the action.
"Let's try this again…" Naruto stood up dizzily, but his swaying only allowed him to luckily dodge a few wooden pikes and water bullets aimed at him.
"Mass Shadow clone Jutsu!" Naruto grinned and more shadow clones filled the area. Most went to distract the hokages.
After another try with the human Cannonball, Naruto sighed.
"Okay, one last time." Naruto growled and was launched again.
This time, the barrier in the area shattered, allowing the Anbu teams and Kakashi to jump in before it regenerated.
"Good work Naruto, rest up, we'll handle it from here." Kakashi ordered.
Naruto nodded and sat down, trying to regain his breath from the chakra use.
The Anbu and Kakashi did a good job holding off their previous Hokages as another Anbu team broke through the branches to help their sandaime.
Hashi had used Roar of sacrifice in time before Sarutobi was stabbed. The wound was nullified so it did no damage.
The intervening Anbu managed to get to Sarutobi and help fight Orochimaru.
"Hashi! Use Soul Cutter!" Sarutobi shouted at the momentary distraction.
Hashi did as he was told, but Orochimaru tried to dodge, making only his arms being affected. The arms went black and limp.
"What is this technique? My arms feel like they're on fire!" Orochimaru grimaced. "We are retreating! We cannot win this!"
The sound four nodded and dispelled the barrier and helped their master escape. Anbu tried to go after them but they got caught up in a sticky web.
"Sorry…for causing so much trouble." Shodaime said and he and the Nidaime crumbled to dust.
"Hokage-sama, all the enemies are retreating, it seems that the sand ninja have realized that their Kage has been Orochimaru and fought alongside with us in the invasion." An Anbu reported.
"Good." Sarutobi nodded. A large chakra pulse was felt from above.
"I AM FREE AT LAST! FEAR ME MORTALS! RAGNAROS HAS RETURNED TO MAKE YOU PAY!" A demonic voice shouted.
All the ninja looked up to see a horrifying sight. A being of fire wielding a devastating weapon loomed over them. (AN: Ragnaros from WoW, look it up if you want to know what he looks like.)
Okay, people have been asking for what pairings i'm going to do, iw on't give choices and limit to what you want but i will give some off limit pairins because i hate them.
PAIRINGS IN WHICH I REFUSE TO WRITE:
Kakasaku (Don't even bother trying to suggest this pairing, i hate it with a passion)
Kakasasu (Hate this pairing way too much)
Kakakure
NaruSaku
Nejiten
Narutoxharem
ItaSaku
ItaIno
NaruIno
Narutox any woman that is a lot older than him (ex. Tsunade, Shizune, Anko, etc.)
Okay, those are the pairings that i can think of right now that i hate, some i just don't like. I'm not really strict on what pairings (besides the ones listed) are done so Yaoi is fine as i like reading it time to time, i have never written yuri so try not to suggest it.
For my cut off of older women, i don't mind if it's a few years difference like 2 or 3, but i don't want him to be with someone that is much much older than him.
The poll will end when i feel i have gathered a good amount of votes so go crazy on what pairings you want besides the ones i listed.
BTW, i don't feel like setting up an official poll, so just submitt your choice in your reviews please
