At the hospital, doctors were wondering why Sasuke's face seemed like someone had hit him with a sign.
"Naruto-san, what happened?" a young nurse asked, after Naruto explained what had happened the doctor sighed, after performing minor healing jutsu Sasuke woke up and flexed his muscles.
"Ok Naruto were going back to that training ground come on." Sasuke said, Naruto nodded and the two jumped out of the window, Echo following suit but only barely keeping up with the two boys.
"Big bro, what are you doing?" Echo asked when they reached the training ground, Sasuke looked somewhat frightened and started to back away from the girl.
"We're training little sis, now go home and tell dad I may be late again today." Echo nodded before tackling her brother and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you big bro." Echo said as she rushed off, Sasuke had a shit eating grin and laughed once the girl was out of earshot.
"Didn't know you had a thing for incest." Sasuke simply said, Naruto's face went bright red as he got a devious idea.
"Just for saying that boost your weights to two hundred." Sasuke's eyes went wide, he was about to say something but Naruto pointed to his own weights which read nine hundred pounds.
"..." Sasuke's jaw was floored and coherant speech was thrown out the window.
"Alright get your book out and work on the first jutsu in it." Naruto said, Sasuke nodded as he pulled out the scroll Naruto had sealed it in. After quickly unsealing it he began reading aloud, again.
"To the next user of the Blessed Fist jutsu: If you are the son of Achilles I wish you great luck, know you father will be proud of you no matter what you do. The first thing you must learn to master is Apollo's harp, if done correctly you will hear a soft sound from a white, softly glowing aura around you fist, the next twenty pages is dedicated to mastering this jutsu and how to manipulate it into forms other than an aura around your fist, for instance you can turn it into a sword or a bow and arrow." Sasuke stopped reading momentarily to stretch out and try to run a lap around the field.
"Sasuke, drop the weights down to like fifty or so pounds and keep reading, it's a better thing to take up your time today." Naruto pointed out as he began working on his swordplay skills with Styx by fighting his shadow clones.
"This is incredible." Sasuke said as he began making hand signs in a steady pace until he got the hang of them, he then took a deep breath and made the hand signs rapidly, ending in a strange hand sign. "Fist of the gods and goddesses:Apollo's Harp!" Sasuke shouted, a white glow began covering his fist, a soft, gentle sound coming from all around. "Now time to work on manipulating it... Never mind." Sasuke said as he looked at the book and saw that the manipulation of it would be almost impossible for him at the moment. Naruto began reading a book which was titled 'Five hellish river swords:An idiots guide to learning what the five swords do' Sasuke's face contorted in exasperation at the existence of such a book. Suddenly, Naruto drew Styx from it's sheathe and vanished in a black blur, and reappeared right beside Sasuke.
"Alright I've got a grasp on the Flowing Styx, next will be..." Naruto didn't get to finish his sentence as an explosion rocked throughout Konoha, sounding as if something had exploded. Naruto, acting on pure instinct, used a Flowing Styx enhanced Hiraishin to quickly reach the Hokage's tower, as he arrived he saw what had happened, Might Guy had apparently broken the Sound barrier getting back to the village, a beaten and bloody girl in his arms.
"Tenten-sama!" Naruto said as he reached in his mind to awaken Kyuubi, who would hopefully know something.
"This will be rather dangerous but it is a legendary healing jutsu, you MUST seal all of the Underword Swords away first, then make these hand signs and cut the girl." Kyuubi said, flashing the hand signs in Naruto's head, Naruto took a deep breath and sealed Styx back into the scroll before making the hand signs: Snake, Dragon, Chicken, Horse, Ox, and finally Dog. Suddenly Naruto began glowing green, the aura spread and eventually covered everyone in the room in it's comforting and healing embrace. Might Guy, who had almost passed out from breaking the Sound barrier, felt his body numbing as bruises and cuts that had appeared from his tremendous speed began vanishing, Tenten's bleeding form began straightening out and the deep gashes she had recieved from her mission began healing rapidly, behind Naruto, Itachi was stunned as his Sharingan was able to copy it and he was watching the tremendous effect it had. Naruto, however, couldn't keep it up so Itachi joined in, hiw own green aura mingling with Naruto's, Tenten's cuts, gashes, and large bruises began healing at twice the rate Naruto alone had done, he smiled as Itachi put all his effort into maintaining the jutsu.
"Thanks Itachi-san, I needed some help." Naruto said as he sighed, his chakra still coming out evenly, but his chakra was fading fast even with Kyuubi supplying him with more. Guy, weary but able to move, pulled out a small pill and walked up to Naruto and put the pill into the young ninja's mouth, Naruto bit the pill and swallowed, suddenly he felt his chakra increase and smirked. "First gate, open!" Naruto shouted, his chakra pulsing stronger than before. Tenten,still had a massive gash on her leg and on her chest began, Itachi mimicked Naruto, opening the first gate, and slowly but surely the gashes began closing, life slowly coming back to the near lifeless body of the kunoichi. Naruto began sweating as the concentration finally began taking a toll on him. After what seemed an eternity for those in the small office, the gashes were healed up pretty much all the way leaving only mere scratches, and both Naruto and Itachi fell backwards, their first gates closing as they entered unconsioucness.
A few hours later the two groggily rose themselves up, Sasuke, Tsunade, and Minato impatiently tapping their feet on the ground next to them.
"Naruto-san, Itachi-san, just how did you two knock yourselves out?" Tsunade asked, Naruto and Itachi rubbed the back of their heads in embarassment
"Chakra exhaustion from using a legendary healing jutsu taught to me by Kyuubi if I had to guess, I thought I was going to die there at the end." Naruto said as he rubbed his arms, wincing slihgtly at the contact.
"This medical jutsu could be a turning point though Naruto. You barely used any chakra at the beginning and it had an amazing effect, it doesn't just heal a single person, it creates an aura that heals any in it's range. This could be the turning point of a life or death operation Tsunade-sama, I beg of you to allow me to teach you." Itachi said, the power of life in his words.
"I wanted to learn this anyway, I have never heard of anything that could heal someone that was, surely, on the brink of death back to the point of a simple little scratch. Itachi since you have the Sharingan I will need you to make a shadow clone and, whenever you are ready, there is a dummy right beside you that you can use the jutsu on."Tsunade said before grabbing Itachi's shadow clone's head and making a quick few handsigns, her eyes suddenly became Mangekyou Sharingan and Itachi began using the jutsu, as soon as he finished 'healing' the straw dummy, Tsunade let go of the shadow clone and killed it.
"Well Tsunade-sama?" Itachi asked as he began catching his breath.
"Amazing, pure and simply amazing. Naruto-kun is it possible for you to summon Kyuubi-san in a human form?" Naruto shrugged and established a link to Kyuubi.
"I'm on my way." Kyuubi said, Naruto sighed in exasperation as Kyuubi growled happily before jumping out of his mindscape into her full feminine glory, almost in the nude, a skimpy little kimono covering her overly large, lucious breasts.
"..." Minato began twitching as he was shot backwards through the door of the room from a nose bleed, nearly slamming into Jiraiya, who had dodged just in time, and broke through the wall, finally landing upon a pile of old clothes.
"What happened?" Jiraiya asked as he walked into the room, saw Kyuubi, and began writing in a small notebook, but Kyuubi payed no heed to the man and was talking to Tsunade about the jutsu in great detail, Jiraiya took off quickly before he was noticed.
"So this was originally a human healing jutsu you modified to save your brother's human girlfriend when she got caught up in a fight between him and the Eight tailed Snake? Amazing." Tsunade said, Kyuubi shrugged as if it were nothing and made a few movements with her hands, she then vanished in a flare of red light and returned back into Naruto's stomach.
"Well I gotta go Tsunade-baachan, come on Sasuke we need to get back to training." Naruto said, Sasuke shook his head negatively.
"Can't, you may be shocked about this but we have to go to the academy tomorrow, remember?" Sasuke asked Naruto cursed but walked home anyway, a slight limp noticeable in his step.
The next day Naruto walked into class and a terrifing sight met him, everyone that was in the class was dead, his half awake body was unaware of how to react and Phlegethon became unsealed and went to his hand on it's own will. Suddenly Naruto's eyes went wide and his pupils dilated, as if someone injected pure caffeine into his body and snapped him out of the genjutsu that he had been caught in, Iruka looked impressed, that was a jounin level genjutsu and he broke out of it with ease.
"What was that Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked as more people walekd in and were captured in different genjutsu.
"You and Sasuke I had caught in a jounin level genjutsu, seems I should have found a stronger one, both of you broke through it within a few minutes, everyone else is caught in a chunin level genjutsu, both are designed to reveal a fear within this class room, whether it be seeing everyone dead, as for you Naruto, or the entirety of the male part of the class becoming gay, as Sasuke's was." Naruto shook his head in admiration, quite an interesting technique.
Off somewhere in the woods a lone boy wandered, his body beaten and bruised.
"Damnable Taira clan, they dishonored my father, they will pay, for I am Yoshitsune." the young boy, whose hair was of medium length and messy, his attire that of the famed samurai, and his age maybe around fifteen, said, suddenly a tree collapsed, barely missing him, and in front of Yoshitsune stood a rather tall creature, a large nose, the first thing to give away he wasn't human, the second was the fact he was red, and then the fact he exuded demonic chakra certainly didn't help.
"Kukuku, so you want revenge I must guess? If so follow me, for I Sojo-bo, will train you to defeat, no, annihilate this Taira clan you speak of." Sojo-bo said, Yoshitsune followed the creature, a hand on his shuriken pouch should the creature attack "Don't worry kid, I might be a Ten-gu but that doesn't mean I'll eat you, I want to see bloodshed, kukuku." the demon laughed as the two walked into a small field where light barely shone, Yoshitsune looked amazed.
"This place, even though demons live here, is beautiful." Yoshitsune said, Sojo-bo's face deadpanned at the comment.
"Is that an insult on our behalf? If it is I don't HAVE to train you." Yoshitsune put his hands up defensively.
"Sorry, I only mean that, from what I have heard, demons are murderous and don't care what happens to anything as long as they shed blood." Sojo-bo sighed when Yoshitsune said this.
"Some demons are like that, take the Ichibi no Shukaku for example. It was originally a priest of the gods of sand, but he was possessed by a demonic sand kami and it morphed him into a giant, evil one tailed demon, but don't get me wrong not all of the Biju are evil like that, only Shukaku and the three tails. The remaining like to transform into humans and walk around, as most demons are curious. For instance The Kyuubi no Kitsune loved to turn into a human form and walk around human villages, often tiems she would beg rich people to give her money to shop, she was very seductive and always got waht she wanted, if not she knocked out the person and took their money." Sojo-bo and Yoshitsune both sighed, Yoshitsune because it was strange and rather hard to believe, Sojo-bo because said event happened to him.
"Alright, so what are you gonna teach me? Some kind of demoninc ninjutsu or something?" Yoshitsuen asked, Sojo-bo only laughed.
"Ninjutsu, no, genjutsu, maybe some depends on if we have time, kenjutsu, I'll have a suburdinate teach you that if you want to learn it, kinjutsu, no, taijutsu, that is a given." Sojo-bo said and Yoshitsune sighed.
"Taijutsu is my worst skill." Yoshitsune said, Sojo-bo grinned.
"And that is why your learning our fighting style." Sojo-bo said and got into the Ten-gu taijutsu style.
Back in Konoha, both Naruto and Sasuke were sleeping soundly as Iruka went over things they knew very well, that was when a knock on the door woke them up and interupted Iruka.
"Well there we have it, a new student. Naruto knows her very well. Class, I would like you to meet Echo Namikaze. Uh what are you doing with that sign?" Iruka asked, Naruto and Sasuke slapped their faces, attempting to knock themselves out of the genjutsu they thought they were in. "You two this isn't a genjutsu, not unless Minato-sama thinks this is a good prank." Iruka said and they both sighed, there worst nightmare had just arrived. "Go ahead and introduce yourself Echo." Echo nodded and began speaking.
"My name is Echo Namikaze, I like long walks through Konoha, cooking, my big bro, and the Shinobi life, I dislike those who dislike others for something out of their control, my dream is to become as kind and powerful as Tsunade-baachan, my hobbies are cooking and torturing my big brother and Sasuke-kun." two girls both came close to going hostile when Echo said Sasuke-kun.
"Alright take a seat as far away from those two girls right there." Iruka said, pointing to the two girls in question, Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka.
"Okay Iruka-baka." Echo said as she deliberately set beside the two girls, both of whom got deadly expressions on thier faces. "Hyuga-chan can you activate your Byakugan please?" she asked Hinata, who nodded meakly before activating her kekkei genkai. "Thank you, Byakugan." Echo's eyes turned white and pupil-less and Ino and Sakura both looked like they were about to have a heart attack, Echo simply disabled some of their chakra points, preventing any ninjutsu and genjutsu that could possibly hurt her mind. "Oh by the way the clan I originally came from was cursed, but our curse allowed us to use other kekkei genkai and jutsu without knowing the hand signs or being part of that clan, simply by saying the words. Our chakra is still drained the same, but we don't need hand signs, only words." Echo said in a sing song way, Sakura and Ino sighed before sitting down, Echo grinned happily as class began anew.
Later that day, when the academy let out, Naruto and Sasuke began training, Naruto with the various abilities of Styx and Sasuke with the fist of Apollo's harp. About an hour into training a sound rocked their training groiund, they looked towards a dense forest, a tree had just collapsed. So, being the explorative cadets they are, they ventured into the forest, using a basic chakra supression to hide themselves. They wandered upon a serene clearing, in the middle were two people, well one person and a strange creature.
"Naruto, that thing with the red face, its a Tengu, we shouldn't be here." Sasuke said, but Naruto shushed him as they watched the Tengu and the other person train.
"Yoshitsune you have come close to mastering our style, but your human body won't allow you to use it in the same way. As promised though you will be able to wipe out the Taira clan with little to no problems. Hmm seems we have two little visitors. Come on out you two and I promise I won't kill you, unless Yoshitsune says your Taira clan members." Sojo-bo said. Naruto and Sasuke went rigid with fear and slowly walked out, sweat beading on their skin as Yoshitsune raised an eyebrow.
"Namikaze-sama, Uchiha-sama why are you two out here?" Yoshitsune asked, they both smiled sheepishly.
"Curiousity, we heard a tree fall back here and decided to check it out." Naruto said, Yoshitsune smiled and shook his head. Sojo-bo, on the other hand, looked fearful.
"The boy with blonde hair is a Namikaze, and the other an Uchiha?" Sojo-bo asked, Yoshitsune nodded and he gulped. "You two I mean no harm towards, if any of the other Ten-gu here try to harm you, you have my permission to kill them." Sojo-bo said, bowing deeply to the two. "I owe monsterous favors to the Namikaze and the Uchiha clans." he explained to the three.
"Oh, so what were you two doing?" Naruto asked as he saw a few impact marks on the trees around them.
"Training Yoshitsune in the art of Ten-gu taijutsu." Sojo-bo explained as he charged a small amount of demonic chakra into him fists and slammed one of them at the tree, the bark began peeling off of it. Naruto and Sasuke were floored with shock, Yoshitsune only looked in understanding.
"Yoshitsune-san, Sojo-bo-san said something about the Taira clan, I know a few people in the clan. I hate the entire lot and I know something that might help you." Naruto said as he pulled out a small scroll and unsealed three bags of different balls and balloons. "It's one of the jutsu my dad made, the other one being Hiraishin. This is the Rasengan." Naruto said as he tossed Yoshitsune a water balloon and pulled one out for himself. "I haven't really gotten the hang of the third step but the first and second I have down pat. In the first step you must make the water balloon explode by making the water go in every direction." Naruto demonstrated this by having the water in the balloon rotate in every direction, it exploded with a quick burst. Yoshitsune nodded and began, having a few difficulties but working on it none the less. Naruto pulled out a balloon and filled it with air before setting to work on the final step of the Rasengan. Suddenly realization hit Naruto and he, with a stroke of pure genious, created a shadow clone and, in his own way, perfected the jutsu.
"Namikaze-sama, wouldn't it be effective to work on a variation of this technique you can call you own?" Yoshitsune asked, and Naruto's eyes widened.
"Good idea, I think I have a good idea too." Naruto took out a marker and drew a line straight down him palm before putting a rubber ball in his palm, he gathered chakra in his palm and tried sending it straight up, for a moment it seemed to work, but it wouldn't cut the ball. A few moments later Yoshitsune popped the water balloon. "Ok the second step is all about power, take a rubber ball and make your chakra pop the ball, simple as that." Yoshitsune nodded before setting to work. Naruto had almost gotten the variation of the Rasengan down, with an enourmous sound, that also involved Naruto being thrown into Sojo-bo, the ball bursted, the line of chakra that shot from his hand cut branches off the tree tops before vanishing, Naruto's palms were rather cut up from the previous attempts but he had finally done it.
"Well kid, what you gonna call it?" Sojo-bo asked, Naruto grinned.
"I think Line Rasengan has a good ring to it." Sojo-bo shook his head.
"No, that sounds too wimpy, how about Linear wave?" Naruto noded.
"Good name for it, now I have an idea." Naruto pulled Styx out of it's sheath and focused on making a Linear wave with some of the demonic chakra in Styx, the result was terrifiying. A blast of black chakra with a blue core shot out of Naruto's palm, the blast cut through five or six trees vertically. Sojo-bo, Yoshitsune, and Sasuke all looked amazed.
"Damn!" Sojo-bo shouted as he surveyed the damage. "Kid those shot through enourmous red woods. That is incredible." he added, Naruto sighed before falling to one knee.
"That took alot out of me, the chakra in Styx isn't going to be easily controlled, but at least the damage is good." Naruto said, Sasuke nodded and took out his book and began the final step needed for Apollo's harp. A few minutes into reading Sasuke threw his fist up in glee.
"I've got it. Fist of the gods and goddesses: Apollo's harp." Sasuke shouted, a white glow surrounded his arm and the sound of a harp filled the clearing. He slammed his hand into a tree Naruto's Linear wave:Styx had hit, to the left and right of the opening the wave made, disinegrated. Sojo-bo looked amazed, but saw Sasuke could barely use it.
"Kid your using too much chakra for it, I've seen that jutsu used, it is supposed to deal quite a bit of damage, but you're pumping way too much chakra into it." Sasuke nodded before standing up, having fallen to his rearend. The tree, which was being supported by a group of five Ten-gu that was holding it up for seemingly no reason, toppled over, resulting in the domino effect with the other trees Naruto had hit, once they all fell Sojo-bo sighed. "Oh well, just means more room for us." he added and the ball Yoshitsune had exploded.
"Damn you, your going faster than I did." Yoshitsune sweat dropped.
"My clan is known for our amazing chakra control, now what is the next step?" Naruto pulled out a balloon and filled it with air, tied it, and tossed it to Yoshitsune.
"The final step is to combine the first and second step together, perfect power and perfect control, if the balloon pops get another one and do it again." Yoshitsune nodded and began working, at first the balloon wanted to pop, but Yoshitsune's control seemed to be perfect, then the balloon was shredded off and a perfect Rasengan was floating slightly above his hand. "Amazing, the only person that could do it that well was my dad, and it took him quite a while to create it." Yoshitsune smiled as he created another Rasengan in his other hand and collided the two, forming one large Rasengan.
"I'm surprised that worked." Yoshitsune said, the large Rasengan in his hand dissipated as he stopped his chakra output.
"Well your Ten-gu taijutsu could use a little more work, but I think with the Rasengan you will be able to annihilate those who can get around your Ten-gu taijutsu." Sojo-bo said, Yoshitsune nodded as he rushed towards Konoha. "So you two could use a little fine tuning yourselves. Unfortunately I can't help you right now. The best idea would be for you two to go back home I will send a message to you from one of the humans that visit me on a regular basis." Sojo-bo added, Naruto and Sasuke nodded before walking back to Konoha, neither realizing how late it was and the massive hunt going on in Konoha at that moment.
"Where are they!" Fugaku shouted to nobody in particular, both his son and the Hokage's son were missing, and both had been missing for over three or four hours. He heard a giant shout near the Forest of Death.
"Found them!" a Hyuga shouted, having used chakra to enhance the sound of his voice, a moment after saying that both Minato and Fugaku were there in a heartbeat.
"Where were you two at?" Minato, the more rational between Fugaku and himself, asked, Naruto and Sasuke sighed before relaying their story.
"Ah so you ran into Sojo-bo and he helped you with a few things, and then you, Naruto-sama, decided to teach a complete stranger the Rasengan, and then managed to create a variation of said jutsu. All I can say to that is to prove it." Fugaku said and Naruto took a deep breath before charging chakra to his palm.
"Linear wave!" Naruto shouted, a blast of chakra shot forth from his hand and tore through a tree before vanishing. Both Fugaku and Minato's jaws were on the floor.
"You are truly my son, come on Naruto we are going to get you some ramen. Not to mention Orochimaru-baka said he had someone he would like to introduce to us. Some girl he found while on a mission." Minato said, Naruto grinned wildly as the two walked to the best ramen bar in the world, Ichiraku's. Upon arriving, a small red haired girl, a few years older than Naruto but not by much, was wildly eating ramen. Teuchi and his daughter, Ayame, were floored in shock.
"What, I haven't fucking eat in what feels like months, this food is the food of the gods themselves." as soon as she said that Naruto and Minato were beside her.
"No kidding!" they both said as they ordered ten bowls each, the girl stopped and smirked a bit before chowing down again, into what made her seventh bowl. Naruto and Minato caught up with ease and finished their tenth bowl at the same time she did hers.
"So whats your name?" Minato asked.
"Tayuya, you old fucker." Minato sweat dropped at her language.
"Tayuya-chan, is there any chance you could stop cursing like a sailor?" Naruto asked, Tayuya shrugged.
"I can stop, but I don't want to I grew up with this fucking shit." Naruto sighed before placing a hand on her shoulder.
"You're a real idiot." Naruto had to duck so he wouldn't get killed by a bowl, he took off as Tayuya chased him down, he unsealed a sword and vanished into the night.
"Where the fucking hell did that fucking shit head go!" Tuechi and Ayame stifled a few chuckles before pointing to where Naruto stood, which was right behind Tayuya, his eyes black with the chakra of Styx, yet no malice enveloped him.
"Behind you Tayuya-chan." Tayuya turned to see a black eyed Narto standing behind her "Boo." Naruto said, Tayuya jumped into the air with fright. "Too easy." Naruto said as he sheathed and then sealed Styx. About that time, Tayuya jumped on his back and knocked him to the ground before pounding him with her flute. Inside Naruto's mindscape Kyuubi was roaring with laughter, the one she saw as a worthy vessel was getting the shit pounded out of him by a flute.
"I give Tayuya-chan!" Naruto shouted, Tayuya got off of him and walked back into Ichiraku's were she ordered even more ramen.
A few days later, Naruto, Minato, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and, after some coercion from Tsunade, Jiraiya helped break Tayuya's swearing habit. Naruto kept telling her to stop or she would meet first hand the river Styx's ferryman. Minato just told her she wouldn't become a successful Shinobi with a tongue like that. Orochimaru really didn't try, he simply said stop a few times. Tsuande threatened to break her arms, heal them, and then break them again. Jiraiya took her to a jail where prisoners who were the most foul were locked up, she probably broke her cursing streak there after seeing one guy who, with every sentence he said, cursed.
A few days after that, Tayuya started staying with Minato, Naruto, and Echo, due to the fact she hated living with Orochimaru because of the fact he read smutty books all the time. At first Echo didn't like her and kept her away from Naruto at all times, but finally, after getting a slight beatdown from Tayuya, let the two talk together.
"So you begin the academy tomorrow ehh Tayuya-chan?" Naruto asked, Tayuya nodded before smiling a bit.
"Its gonna be fun, I guess." Tayuya said
Deep within the council chambers an insidious plot involving Echo and a certain Uchiha was being plotted. Let us listen and hear a portion of it.
"So we are going to make some form of omega Uchiha? Capable of over throwing Minato-teme so we can finally be rid of the kid with the damn swords?" one of the members asked. Another man, a bandaged eye and arm, was fully against the idea.
"Minato-sama rescued me, that is the only reason I have one eye still usable. Tsunade has healed me as much as she can. If you try to overthrow Minato-sama I will make sure you pay, for I, Danzo, will hear no talks of overthrowing our Hokage, understood! Now come Sai, I wish for you to meet someone who will help you learn to handle emotions when not in combat. You freak me out when your emotionless all the time." Danzo said, Sai nodded before following him out the door, the other council members looked at him in disgust as he left, all except for two. The Hyuga clan leader, Hiashi, and the Uchiha clan leader, Fugaku. Both were against the overthrowing but wanted the Omega Uchiha, or, in the case of Hiashi, an Omega Hyuga.
We shall turn away from their conversation for now, more will be revealed later. Back with Naruto and Tayuya they were sitting around the Namikaze compounds, meditating. Naruto stopped meditating and stared at Tayuya in admiration, her red hair just barely framing her beautiful face.
"What are you looking at Naru? I got something on my face or something?" Tayuya asked, finally realizing Naruto was staring at her.
"No, I'm sorry just admiring you.' Tayuya blushed a dark red before pounding Naruto with her flute.
"Don't joke with me Naruto, you fucking asshole." Tayuya said, Naruto sighed a bit.
'She never believes me when I compliment her, wonder why?' Naruto thought, Tayuya had thoughts as well.
'I want to believe he was really admiring me, but after my so called best friend tried to force himself on me using those same sweet words , I don't know what to believe.' Tayuya thought, so lost in her thoughts she was, that she didn't notice a pair of arms wrapping around her chest, hugging her lightly before releasing.
"BASTARD!" Tayuya shouted, Naruto flinched but he thought he saw an angel above him.
'Better be prepared to die.' Naruto raised his arms up in an attempt to slighten the pain from the flute, but the pain never came, Naruto lowered his arms and saw Tayuya there, trying as hard as possible not to cry, she failed and broke down crying and latched onto Naruto. He held her head to his shoulder, not knowing what else to do.
"Come on Tayuya-chan, stop crying." Naruto said, uneasy with the, usually tough girl, crying on him for what seemed to be no reason.
"Sorry Naruto-kun, I need to cry though." Naruto, still feeling uneasy, just held her gently as she cried on his shoulder.
In the hallway Minato watched the event unfold and sighed.
'I see what Orochimaru meant, she really IS an emotional wreck, her mind is probably trashed, maybe Inoichi can help her.' Minato thought as he decided to go out for a walk, the sun was still high in the sky, the air itself was beautiful as Minato walked down to the Yamanaka flower shop. Where a sighing Inoichi was sweeping the floor.
"Minato-sama!" Inoichi shouted in surprise before bowing deeply.
"Inoichi-baka, I told you to call me Minato, anyway Orochimaru recently came across a little girl who is a complete emotional wreck, I need to see if there is anything you can do. You will get paid for a B-rank mission." Inoichi nodded and followed Minato, Ino silently following the two without either giving any sign of noticing as they were locked in casual conversation with one another.
Back at the Namikaze compound, Tayuya had stopped crying, though she was still sobbing on Naruto's shoulder, he felt his arm go numb as his dad and Inoichi walkd in, Tayuya jerked her head off of Naruto's shoulder and pulled her tough, tomboy mask on.
"Whats up?" Tayuya asked, Inoichi had her sit down on the sofa on the left wall of the room, she did with a little coercion from Naruto.
"Now tell me whats wrong." Inoichi said, Tayuya realized he wasn't asking. She refused to respond, Inoichi sighed before transferring into her mind. What he saw scared him. Her mind was literally littered with huge shards of memories, all rather happy memories, her core of memories, though, was perfactly intact, the only problem was that it was black, he touched it and saw the brutal images, her being raped. He shook his head, but his eyes seemed to deceive him, there was a chunk of memory on the black that was pure white, so he looked at that, it was memories of when Orochimaru found her, eating ramen, meeting Naruto, and finally when the blonde genin allowed her to cry on his shoulder. He took a deep breath and set to work chipping away at the dark memories, what seemed like hours, though outside of the memory core, in the living world, only a mere five seconds passed. Inoichi sighed as he rubbed the sweat off of his forehead and looked at his work, there was only a single black chunk of memory left, however the white memories that had previously littered the floor were already put on the memory core, she had no more happy memories, the last of her negative memories was of her mother's declaration of hatred, Inoichi panted and called his work done, better that than some of the alternatives.
Inoichi made a handsign and vanished from her memory core room. When he got out of Tayuya's mind she pummeled him into the floor with a flute.
"Don't do that again bastard. Huh, I don't remember anything bad? Well I guess you did something, thanks." Tayuya grumbled as she walked over to Naruto and grabbed his hand, and hugged him gently, as if testing what he would do with the hug, apparently Inoichi had missed another bad memory. Naruto hugged her just as gently, then the two hugged each other tighter, Minato and Inoichi smiled, and then Ino, who had hidden quite well, said something.
"Awwwww so cute!" Ino squealed, shocking everyone in the room, Ino clamped her hand to her mouth.
"Ino? Did you seriously follow us?" Inoichi asked, Ino nodded and Minato laughed.
"Its alright, now Tayuya you should get ready for tomorrow, the academy remember?" Tayuya's eyes widened and she took off outside, running to various stores to get ninja tools.
Later that night Naruto, sleeping in his large four poster bed, was thrashing around in his sleep, the five Hell river swords, though sealed, seemed to be doing something to him.
Let us enter his dream. Dream vision jutsu
Naruto saw five rivers, each straight forward no bends or curves, just straight, he runs along them, finally the five rivers merge into one large lake of hell fire, Naruto, as if being moved by an invisible force, jumped into the fire, then his dream took a turn.
Within the hell fire Naruto saw various things in mirrors tinted with red, a sword that had kanji for Inari on it, himself sending someone into the sky and slamming them back to the ground, and a beautiful woman with red hair, holding his hand and kissing him. Naruto, stilll being controlled by something, made two clones and touched the three mirrors, the first two shattered and seemed to be absorbed into Naruto, the third mirror, the one with the red head, only cracked slightly. Then the hell fire dissapated and Naruto saw he was on an island, around him five giant people looked at him.
"Child, we are the embodiements of the Hell swords, I, Styx, and, from my left to my right, Lethe, Phlegethon, Cocytus, and Acheron." Styx said, Naruto tried backing up, but the island shrunk until he was forced to stand in one spot.
"We thank you for taking us, it has been far too long since we have been used by one with such a kind and compassionate heart, one by one we shall soon grant you our blessings, until then stay kind Namikaze." Lethe said, the others nodded, suddenly his dream went fuzzy and he woke up with a start.
Release!
Naruto rubbed his eyes roughly, noticing an odd weight on his chest. His eyes quickly adjusted and he saw a small violet fox with a sword barely held in its mouth, pawing his chest ever so slightly, it then spit the sword out of its mouth and changed into a small child with fox ears and a bushy tail.
"HIYA!" the child shouted, Tayuya, who had demanded to be able to sleep in Naruto's room, stirred a little.
Naruto clamped his hands around the fox child's mouth and 'shushed' him.
"We don't want anyone to wake up right now, unless you want to die." the small fox child welled up in tears and bit Naruto's hand as hard as he could, causing the blonde to remove his hand and growl slightly in pain.
"Mommy, that boy you wanted me to take the ko-kitsune-maru to is being mean!" the fox child shouted, surpisingly louder than before, but no one woke up. Suddenly a white mist appeared in front of Naruto's bed, and a beautiful female with twelve tails and fox ears stepped out of the mist.
"Now now my child, I told you when you left not to shout, right?" the small fox boy only huffed up and folded his arms and turned away from the woman.
"Children." the fox lady said, sighing as she shook her head, she then turned to Naruto. "Now to talk to you Naruto-kun, I have been informed by quite a few people you came across the five swords of the Underworld Rivers, I used them as a vessel to come in contact with you. Now the ko-kitsune-maru is NOT for you as I can see it hasn't reacted to your touch, it will only be decorative until its chosen wielder is found, all I know is that it is someone in this village or someone you will soon meet, but as of right now you are the only link I have to this world. I know of the dream you had, the three mirrors, one was the katana, one was of a possible future, the third was something passed down among those with a link to any of the numerous dieties that exist in this world, it is called the Tower of Babel, I will let you work it out for yourself, just be warned that no matter how strong you become this taijutsu technique should only be done in extreme cases, so you must be quick about it and not waste your time in it's completion Earth." Inari said, she gave Naruto a hug and picked her son up and put him on Naruto's bed.
"I don't wanna stay here!" the small fox boy shouted, Naruto petted the fox boy's head.
"Come on, you could learn something here that your mother doesn't know." the response was immediate, the fox boy jumped on Naruto's pillow and fell asleep.
"You know children better than I do apparently." Inari said with a soft feminine chuckle as a mist covered her and she vanished. Naruto smiled before lying down beside the fox, who had snuggled up into the pillow and was in a deep sleep.
The next morning everyone was freaked out by the small fox boy, Minato almost tried killing him when he started talking, Tayuya just poked it with her flute a few times, but Echo had tried giving it a bone crushing hug.
"What have they never saw someone like me before?" the fox boy asked Naruto, who shook his head.
"No, maybe you should change to a fox and stay on my shoulder or in a pocket or something." Naruto suggested, the boy noded his head and transformed into the small, no larger than a newborn, violet fox and climbed into a pocket on Naruto's pants. Then Tayuya, Echo, and himself began walking, once more, to the ninca academy, where Sasuke was waiting.
"Took you guys long enough, come on, class is about to start." Sasuke said, the three nodded and they took off into the class room, Tayuya knowing she was thrown in the same class as Naruto, Echo, and Sasuke.
"Welcome you three. Tayuya you should wait for class to start and everyone gets here before giving your introduction." Tayuya nodded and after about a half an hour everyone was in the class and Tayuya stood in front of them.
"I'm Tayuya, I like Naruto, Echo, and flutes, I dislike perverted people, my dream is to become a successful shinobi, my hobbies are playing my flute and hanging out with Echo and Naruto." Tayuya said before taking a seat next to Naruto, who was sleeping. Tayuya twitched but didn't do anything. Half way through the day Tayuya realized why Naruto was asleep, Iruka's lessons were boring as hell, so within a few moments of that realization, her head was on the desk and she was out like a light.
When the academy let out Naruto and Sasuke went to train, Naruto was working on creating a new jutsu, while Sasuke worked on the second jutsu that was part of his kekkei genkai, the fist of the gods and goddesses:Ares's war cry. Tayuya decided to follow them and train a little bit.
"Naruto, why exactly are you making a jutsu anyway?" Sasuke asked.
"It just came to me like a bag of cast iron. If I can perfect this jutsu I should be able to do some serious damage." Naruto said as he pulled a ball of metal out and focused chakra to his palms. "I'm first working on using the linear wave to it's fullest potential. making sure that the power is perfect, then I'll work so that I can avoid hitting allies in combat should I and someone else get surrounded, which will be done with a simple balloon." as Naruto said this he sharpened the chakra building up in his hand and released it, cutting the ball perfectly down the middle "Hmm, that was good, at least I know how the power of it feels, now for the hardest part." Naruto said as he pulled a balloon out and began working on it, though by the time they left he had no progress at all, Sasuke had stopped due to the fact it felt like his flesh was being ripped off after failing to use the jutsu five times in a row. Tayuya had pretty much just sit there and watched the two, for the three hours they had trained.
The next morning both Naruto and Sasuke woke up with a very similar nightmare. They dreamed of a set of triplets in Suna who, along with the two Konoha cadets, would wind up in something deeper than most people would be.
In Suna the three triplets were in the ninja academy, barely paying any attention. The three, Kankuro no Sabaku, Temari no Sabaku, and Gaara no Sabaku, were trying to doze off, inside Gaara's mind something was thrashing about, as if trying to keep him awake.
"You dumbass kid! You might need some of this knowledge, yet here you are, trying to go to SLEEP! What the hell is wrong with you!" the creature in Gaara's mind raged, it was silenced by an unseen force.
"Foolish Shukaku, your attempts to torment Gaara will never work, as long as you try you will be stopped, for I, Binzuru-Sonja, god of curing and fine vision, will stop all attempts you make, now silence and wait until Gaara-san needs one of our help." Binzuru-Sonja said as he held a large object and hit Shukaku with it, resulting in a rather comedic effect, Shukaku got a large bumb on the top of his head and fell down.
'Would you two keep it down, I'm tired.' Gaara told the two, they both apologized and silenced themselves.
Temari was having similar problems, the goddess within her mind wouldn't stop about sleeping during something so important, and then began going through various times when the Assembly of the gods were held and she was forced to stay awake, no matter how tired she was.
'Benzai-ten, please be quiet, this isn't as important as the Assembly of the gods, its just stuff I already know.' Temari told Benzai-ten, who sighed in defeat and broke the link connecting the two.
Kankuro and his inner god were both at peace, discussing various poisons that could be made from different plants, and some from his own blood.
'So if I use a lethal webcap mixed with foxglove I can make a much more potent poison than I've been using?' Kankuro asked the god within him, who replied easily.
"Exactly, but be careful not to stab yourself with anything you dip into the poison, its potent enough to kill you within moments, and I really don't want another host to die because he didn't listen to me." the god said, Kankuro nodded.
'I know Gozu-Tenno-san, trust me I've worked with weapons and poisons since I took an interest in puppets, and that would be about since I was five or six years old althought I still can't believe I never thought of mixing two such basic poisons together, but the chance of finding either here in Suna is nearly zero.' Kankuro mentally sighed and shrugged before deciding that a nap was better than listening to this teached talking.
Back in Konoha the ko-kitsune-maru was reacting, and oddly enough it was when Tayuya picked it up to look at it. The katana almost immediately began reacting to her touch, at first it simply proped her hand and arm with a pure white chakra before it flew from her hand and tied itself to her side. Tayuya jumped in shock and screeched an ear piercing screech, Naruto, who had fallen back asleep, shot up and pulled Styx out of it's sheath directly from the scroll and had it pointed in Tayuya's general direction.
"Damn it Naruto, this fucking sword just did something really weird." Tayuya said, Naruto shook his head to clear any thoughts in his mind and saw that, on Tayuya's side, was, indeed, the ko-kitsune-maru.
Interlude Alright guys take a breather while I explain a few things. First off, I am unsure of how truthful my sources are with a few of these myths so deal with, also I'm not sure with the lethal webcaps either, are they poisonous to the touch or only if ingested? Anyway I'm going to list those currently involved with something mythological and, assuming I've at least mentioned what they can do, what they help the wielder/container/user with, expect a more detailed report with Naruto's swords Lethe, Acheron, and possibly Cocytus
Temari-Benzai-ten, the Japanese goddess of wisdom, knowledge, good fortune, and water. Not a really good combination considering Temari uses wind, but oh well.
Gaara-Binzurou-Sonja, the god of curing and fine sight, He is what keeps Shukaku from tormenting Gaara when he sleeps.
Naruto-The five swords of the under world. Acheron, the sword of Woe, Cocytus, the sword of Lamentation, Phlegethon, the sword of Hades, Lethe, the sword of Forgetfullness, and Styx, the sword of Limbo. With Acheron if Naruto focuses he can use something similar to the Byakugan, see last chapter with Hayate. With all the other swords, with the exception of Styx, has not been revealed. With Styx, Naruto can vanish using something faster than Hiraishin, called the Flowing of Styx, and can use the Rampant souls of the dead, using actual dead souls to form a skull, strength varies on the souls collected, it launches in a straight line and won't stop until it makes contact with a solid object, in essence it's the Ameterasu's flame but in the shape of a skull.
Tayuya-She wields the ko-kitsune-maru, given to Naruto by Inari so the katana could find it's chosen owner.
The little fox boy-Not actually Mythological, but figured I'd mention him anyway. He's a grandson of Inari(The mythological kitsune not Tazuna's grandson Inari)
Oh and before I forget, Sasuke: Son of Achilles and user of the Fist of the Gods and Goddesses, essentially just a powerful taijutsu boost, each god(dess) has a different effect as well, Apollo's harp sings, and can be manipulated into weapons, although that has not been seen yet.
Echo:Before she arrived in Konoha she wandered, cursed like the rest of her family from ancient times, when the Queen of Goddesses, Hera, seeked her husband, Zeus, so Echo kept her busy by talking while the other nymphs escape, Hera sentences Echo to repeat the last words she hears.
Kankuro:Gozu-Tenno, the Japanese god of Plague, a perfect fit to Kankuro.
Alright Interlude over, hopefully you didn't mind it.
Resume
After the two remembered the academy was holding a special class today they immediately rushed to the academy. where the class was just about to head out to the training area.
"About time you two showed up, today is the day we hold a little tournament to see where all of you stand, it will be co-ed, sex doesn't matter in the Shinobi world, so you should learn that now." Iruka said, the two nodded and walked out into the field, he announed the first two combatants.
"Sakura Haruno vs Tayuya, hajime." Iruka said before jumping out of the arena to a safe spot. The two kunoichi in training, death glared at each other before Tayuya began taunting Sakura.
"Hey Forehead girl, you still trying to become a kunoichi? How pathetic, I bet you couldn't even land one hit on me." Tayuya said, Sakura glared in anger before rushing Tayuya with immense speed, Tayuya jumped out of the way just in time to avoid a rather powerful punch. "Heh looks like I get to use ko-kitsune-maru." she said as she pulled the katana out of it's sheath, Sakura leapt aside to avoid a slash. Tayuya suddenly stopped moving and her eyes turned similar to that of a fox's eyes.
"Huh?" Sakura asked as Tayuya began cackeling like a madman.
"I must admit Sakura-chan, though your body seems weak it is rather strong, my weilder won't stand up to you for much longer if I allowed her to, now suffer. Kitsune's wrath." the possesed Tayuya said, out of nowhere spirit foxes clamped onto Sakura's arms and legs, the possessed Tayuya smirked. "Now I will finish this, Chains of the fox." suddenly chains covered Sakura, each link on the chain seemingly unbreakable. Iruka called the match.
"Winner, Tayuya, the next two will be Nara Shikamaru vs Naruto Namikaze, hajime." Iruka said, the two almost immediately began swapping hits with each other, neither getting in any deciding hits, until Naruto pulled out Cocyus and Styx.
"What a drag." Shikamaru said, Naruto appeared behind him, and couldn't move a muscle.
"What the? You didn't have time to use your Shadow possession jutsu before I vanished."
"I didn't, my family knows more about those five swords than you do, judging by the surprise in your voice. For instance the Flowing of the Styx is based on Shadows, which my family controls. Acheron can be used for healing or it can be used to kill someone quickly, now come on and try something else, any attacks with those five swords will be stopped." Shikamaru said, an odd tone in his voice, as if he was enjoying the challenge.
"Fine, Linear wave!" Shikamaru's eyes shot open as he narrowly avoided a wave of chakra, which destroyed part of the training ground. "Not gonna help ya, Linear wave:Styx." Naruto shouted, charging demonic chakra from Styx into his linear wave, Shikamaru barely had time to dodge, and even though the wave missed he still had a large gash on him, Iruka called the match.
"Winner Naruto, next two combatants, Ino Yamanaka and Sasuke Uchiha." Iruka said, Ino took a deep breath before shouting out.
"I forfeit sensei." Ino said, Iruka nodded before calling out the next two names.
"Shino Aburame vs, hmm? Ah yes he must be the new student. Shino Aburame versus Axel." Iruka said, the cadets of the class exchanged questioning glances before the long ocean blue haired, sky blue muscle shirt, and dark blue cargo pants wearing cadet came into the arena and bowed to Shino.
"Aburame-sama, I hope you don't mind if I read my book, I was hoping for the last fight, but I guess we can't all get what we want in life." Axel said as he took out a small book entitled 'The tragedies of Edward Elric by Speareshake' Shino stared emotionlessly at his opponent.
"Begin." Iruka said, then out of Shino's jacket bugs swarmed and destroyed Axel's book. Axel looked at what remained of his book, then at Shino, then back at the remains of his book, then back to the bug boy, and then his eye's turned from a calm blue green to a fierce blue.
"How dare you! Do you know how much that book was? Do you!" Axel shouted. Shino backed away as wind and water began circling around Axel.
"It was a pointless book, it had nothing to do with the character the book was named after." Shino said plainly, Axel began trembling in anger, then the winds began picking up violently Axel's arm began getting spider-line cracks throughout it, and water began swirling around his body.
"When I was born, a violent wind tore through my city, tearing doors off hinges and ripping roofs off as if they were nothing, it seemed as if the wind was trying to find something. It found me, and It was no other than the god of wind, storms, and the ocean. Susanowa! I will show you why the people from my village feared me. Wind, cleave him!" Axel shouted, the wind followed his orders and cleaved Shino in half, only for the bug boy to break apart into bugs that quickly moved to avoid being destroyed. "Where are you Aburame, you haven't paid for destroying my favorite book. Water, turn the dirt into mud." Axel said, the water swirling around him shifted and soaked the ground. Then from nowhere Shino took a desperate shot and lunged at Axel with a kunai drawn, he simply muttered. "Wind, deflect." Shino was sent flying backwards into the academy, going through the wall and slamming into a chalkboard, which almost broke.
After a few more fights that ended in double knockouts the second round of the tournament began.
"Alright round two match one, Tayuya versus Naruto, hajime." Naruto bowed to Tayuya, who bowed right back, suddenly the little fox boy, who stayed in Naruto's pocket whenever he went to the academy, jumped out of the sword wielder's right shoulder and smirked.
"Come on guy, let's do this!" the little fox boy said as he changed into his fox shape and jumped on Naruto's head.
"Hey Kiba, sorry but me and my little buddy up here copied an Inuzuka jutsu." Naruto said as he got on all fours and the fox child turned into a clone of him, except with a tail and more pronounced whiskers, the Fox Naruto hopped off of Naruto's back and charged Tayuya, keeping her busy just long enough that Naruto could prepare a jutsu. "Hey Tayu-chan, have fun with this one, Acheron you know yourself better than I do, have a blast." Naruto slumped over before standing up, a feeling of woe radiating from him.
"Hello Tayuya-san, I'll make this quick. Woe, sadness, tears." Acheron Naruto said, Tayuya fell over and began crying, Acheron Naruto then rushed in and gently tossed her out of the ring. Sasuke forfeited and twitched in pain as his hand pulsed with pain.
"Winner Naruto, Axel your up against Naruto next." Axel nodded and walked into the field and pulled another book out 'The fall of seven gods' was the title of this book, Naruto shook his head before putting Acheron back into it's sheath. the little fox boy ran over to Tayuya as Naruto stopped suppressing his chakra, Axel smirked as he did the same.
"No holding back Axel, so put the book away so you don't die." Axel laughed and put his book away, the wind again picked up and the water swirled angrily around him.
"Alright, just make sure this isn't something you will regret, Winds cleave him." Axel said before the wind attempted to cleave Naruto, who only pulled Styx out and vanished before the wind could cleave him. After about half an hour Naruto managed to barely cut Axel, not enough to make him bleed but a scratch none the less, Axel barely cleaved Naruto, making just as minor of a scratch as Naruto did, this kept up until the two began running low on their regular chakra, the two smirked as Naruto stopped and pulled out Lethe and slumped over, Axel also slumped over.
"Hello Susanowa, been a while since we last saw each other, but I digress, forget your self and submit to my will." Lethe Naruto said, his eyes a swirling vortex of blackness, Susanowa Axel clutched his head as he fell to his knees and struggled briefly before returning to his knees and looking around with a confused look on his face.
"Where am I? Susanowa Axel asked, Lethe Naruto smirked a bit before speaking again.
"You were about to forfeit. " Lethe Naruto said, Susanowa Axel nodded before swinging poweful winds directly at Lethe Naruto who moved with ease.
"I'm not an idiot, dumbass." Lethe Naruto glared at Susanowa Axel and pulled out Phlegethon, Lethe Naruto slumped over and his sword became sheathed, Phlegethon Naruto looked up, his chakra, and even his presence alone, made even Minato Namikaze shudder in his office.
"Now foolish Susanowa, suffer the wrath of my current vessel, Phlegethon style:Linear wave!" Phleg. Naruto shouted, suddenly an enourmous blade of pitch black chakra,nearly seven times the height of Naruto and without a blue core like the Styx's linear wave had, shot forth, Susanowa Axel's eyes widened in shock before he jumped out of the way, barely avoiding his premature death but also jumping out of the ring.
The blast, however, made a massive gash where it struck, the ground seemed to have been hit by a massive meteor shaped line a diagonal line that went straight towards the academy, luckily the blast stopped before it hit the school, all the students looked shocked as Phleg. Naruto slumped over and Naruto took back over, sheathed Phlegethon and walked over to Iruka.
"Winner Naruto Namikaze. Your reward is the knowledge of the fact you won." in the stands Sasuke smirked before his hand began hurting.
"Iruka-sensei can I go to the nurse's office?" Sasuke asked, Iruka nodded and Sasuke took off, his hand leaving a trail of blood behind him.
Months passed, Naruto came closer and closer to mastering Styc after receiving her blessing, Echo mastered her kekkei genkai, Sasuke finally mastered Ares' fist, which upon mastering it his hand stopped bleeding, and Demeter's tears. Tayuya mastered a few techniques with the help of ko-kitsune-maru., and Axel became friends with Naruto, Sasuke, and Echo. Sasuke also got to know Echo more and found something he liked in her, probably the ability to read him and how he's feeling, and as such the two became closer and closer, occasionally the two, on days when no one had to go to the academy, would eat lunch together. Naruto and Tayuya became just as close as Echo and Sasuke. The final day of the academy was upon the Konoha cadets before they knew what happened, Naruto didn't really want for the exams to happen, he knew that even at his luckiest moment he could only have two other people on his team, one would most likely be a girl, the other a guy. If he had Echo on his team he prayed Sasuke would be on his team as well, if not then Axel and Tayuya. The day of the exam Naruto and the little fox boy, who refused to reveal his name until Naruto became a genin, were fretting, Naruto could do the basic clone jutsu and he could do the shadow clone jutsu, and one Shinobi within their ranks was a traitor, and the one in question was most likely Mizuki or Iruka, and Naruto highly doubted it was Iruka, so he got an idea and the fox boy agreed. Their plan was that the fox boy would transform into Naruto and fail the exam, then switch places with Naruto, who would act horribly sad and trick Mizuki into coercing him into stealing the forbidden scroll. It worked. Naruto 'stole' the forbidden scroll and learned a jutsu from it, the last one he needed to learn from the scroll that wasn't a potentially deadly kinjutsu. When Mizuki arrived all things went as planned, Mizuki ranted about pointless things and how the village hated the blonde for harboring a demon, Naruto flipped him the bird and vanished, the fox boy hopped on Naruto's back and smirked as Naruto pulled Styx out and vanished, cleaving Mizuki's body from the left to the right, the spinal column not interfering with the slash at all. Naruto, who had already proven that he could pass the genin exam with ease, the next day he left for the ninja academy half an hour earlier, and a horrendous sight awaited him.
Upon a pole in front of the Taira clan hung Yoshitsune, tied by his arms and legs. Underneath him a sign read 'attempted killer of the Taira clan, needs immediate execution.' Naruto threw four kunai to release Yoshitsune, who managed to get up on his feet and thank Naruto before explaining what had happened.
"After I left from Sojo-bo's forest I went home to prepare, then I waited for a while, as the heir of the clan was a cadet and I planned on wiping them out when he got his forehead protector, I attacked as soon as he came back, however someone gave them a tip and I only managed to kill one, now I must implore you to help me finish them off, all I need from you is a food pill if you have one." Naruto nodded and handed a food pill to the tired and hungry Yoshitsune who, after eating the pill, went straight back to normal and cracked his knuckles. "Thank you Naruto-san, now let's wipe this despicable clan off the map." Naruto smirked as Yoshitsune said this. Yoshitsune formed a Rasengan and slammed it into the front door, only to show off and alert the Taira clan to an intruder, almost immediately five ANBU ranked Taira members attacked, Yoshitsune dodged the four that attacked him and killed the other one, who was making hand signs but couldn't finish them in time, Naruto nodded, impressed at the speed of Tengu taijutsu, barely moving a muscle and tearing apart human flesh, Naruto smirked as the room flooded with ninja from the Taira clan, Naruto told Yoshitsune to move as he pulled out Phlegethon and slashed horizontally, severing all of the ninja with ease. Moments later only one Taira remained, and that was the clan leader.
"Well well well, you two sure did do a number to my clan, seems an old man needs to put you in your place." the old man said as he took his white robe off to reveal huge muscles and a well toned body, and stopped surpressing his chakra, pushing the two down to the ground, inside Naruto's mind Kyuubi was shouting at Naruto to use her chakra or else she'd come out, unfortunately Naruto was too scared to hear anything, this man had well over kage level chakra stores, as soon as Kyuubi noticed this she leapt out of Naruto and appeared in a black kimono that, fortunately, covered everything, she was in for a shock as the man sent her flying into a wall, suddenly the man's flesh peeled away to reveal, a demon with ten flowing tails, as all the flesh rolled off, one could tell the animal was a cat, within three minutes Sojo-bo arrived on the scene along with five Ten-gu, ready to fight, but alas they, too, were sent through a wall. A few more minutes passed and the cat's eyes widened in fear, for now, within the house, stood someone who could stop him, and his name was Naruto Namikaze. Naruto had, somehow, awakened something deep within his body that Kyuubi hadn't even known of, so when Naruto's chakra shot through the roof and took on the feel of absolute evil she had all right to be afraid, and when Naruto stood up, his chakra turned black as the deepest shadows. The cat, Kyuubi, and all the Ten-gu shuddered as Naruto began laughing maniacally.
"Fool, you dare try to harm the one in whom I have chosen to be my vessel!" the evil Naruto shouted, the cat began bowing, as if Naruto was his master.
"I'm sorry, Lord Amatsu Mikaboshi, I lay my life down to you." the cat pleaded. Amatsu Naruto only snarled at the cat.
"Foolish little demon, how weak you must be to beg for forgiveness, pitiful." Amatsu Naruto snapped out, the cat cringed and backed away as this evil god made three handsigns and tore the ten tailed cat demon apart layer by layer. Once finished, and the dust subsided, Amatsu Naruto turned to Kyuubi, who prepared to attack. "Worry not Kyuubi-hime, I may be evil but I have no interest in fighting someone who shares my host, I would have went to the Uchiha, however something inside of him refused me." Kyuubi's eyes widened.
"You mean the Uchiha may have a god or goddesses within him?"
"Yes, we both know he has remnants of Ama, Tsuku, and Susa, but he has somethihng more powerful in him, a power I haven't felt in years, almost enough to match up to you Kyuubi-hime, now tell Naruto-san when he wakes up never to bother me because I will not help until he needs it or he can defeat me in a fight without 'dieing' as you know I won't let him die if I fight him. Oh yes before I forget, I will teach him a single jutsu should he desire it, you know which one I'm talking about, the one I named after myself. August star of Heaven." Amatsu said before recedding back into Naruto, who shook his head before realizing what was going on.
"Kyuubi why are you out of my body?" Naruto asked wearily, Kyuubi just hugged him before explaining everything. After Everything was cleared up Naruto realized something, he had three minutes to get to the academy. After barely making it to the academy Naruto relaxed and listened.
"Team seven will be Naruto Namikaze, Sasuke Uchiha, and Echo Namikaze." Sasuke and Naruto threw their hands up in the air in joy, Echo blushed and Tayuya fumed. "Team Eight will be Tayuya Namikaze, Axel, and Shino Aburame." Iruka called out, after the other teams were called out their senseis began arriving one by one, after all but two teams were gone both teams realized something, they had VERY lazy teachers. Finally two hours passed and the door opened, which then triggered a small stream of water to trickle down onto the two late senseis, they both began sulking as Naruto laughed his ass off.
"Just a small amount of water from the Acheron river plus two late senseis equal a great laugh." Naruto said, his teammates nodded, as did the other team, after the two woeful senseis were rid of the effect they told their teams to meet them up on the roof.
Up on the roof Naruto and his team, and Tayuya and her team, waited impatiently as their senseis conversed about something silently.
"Alright you six, I am Tsunade and I am Team Seven's sensei." Tsunade said, then Team eight's sensei introduced himself.
"And I am Jiriaya, Team Eight's sensei, and, before we begin, yes these are two seperate teams, but we will occasionally train together, now any questions before we begin?" Jiraiya asked, Naruto raised his hand.
"Did you capture Orochimaru yet?" Naruto asked, Jiraiya hung his head in shame.
"No, he is still on the loose, however we believe he is under the influence of something demonic." Jiraiya said, Naruto nodded in understanding. He knew what it was like to be under the influence of something demonic.
"Alright you guys, lets get to introductions, I'm Tsunade, I like medical ninjutsu and helping people, I dislike Orochimaru and Icha Icha paradise, my dream is to see you six to your dreams, my hobbies are helping out at the hospital. Jiraiya you go next." Tsunade said, Jiraiya nodded.
"I am the great toad sage, whose name strikes fear into those who meet me, I am Jiraiya, I like amphibians, sake, and doing research, I dislike things that stop me from doing my research, Orochimaru, and certain other people, my goal is to become a great author, much more of one than I am right now of course, and my hobby is doing research. Naruto your turn."
"I am Naruto Namikaze, I like my friends, my swords, the spirits within my sword, Kyuubi-sama, Gai-sensei, and tousan and Echo-imouto, I dislike the green jumpsuit I recently got rid of, it was becoming very itchy and Gai sensei told me to wear what I felt like since I had learned all I could from him, and I HATE those who believe they are the best, such as the now annihilated Taira clan, my goal is to master the five river blades of hell and find more swords that are thought to only be a myth, my hobbies are training and spending time with my friends." Naruto said, the two sannin smiled as Sasuke began his intro.
"I am Sasuke Uchiha, I like Echo-chan and hanging out with my friends, I dislike my older brother, my goal is to defeat my elder brother, my hobbies are training and spending time with Echo-chan." Sasuke said, Echo blushed before beginning her introduction.
"I am Echo Namikaze, I like Sasuke-kun, oniichan, and all my friends, I dislike those who hurt people for something they can't control, my goal is to become a successful Kunoichi and marry Sasuke-kun, my hobbies are annoying my oniichan and Sasuke-kun with wooden signs." Echo giggled as Sasuke put an arm around her. Tayuya acted like she was about to barf before beginning her introduction.
"I am Tayuya, some people throw on Namikaze for my last name because I live with Naru and Minato-san, I like Naruto-kun, flutes, and music in general, I dislike those who use friendship as an excuse to do nasty things to their 'friend', my goal is to become a sucessfull kunoichi, my hobbies are playing my flute and training with ko-kitsune-maru." Tayuya smirked as Naruto blushed a bit, Axel turned a page in his book and began his introduction.
"I am Axel, I like reading, the art of the Shinobi, and this village, I dislike Susanowa for what he did to his sister Amaterasu, my goal is to master Susanowa's abilities and become an ANBU, my hobbies are reading from my extensive library of books, and training." Axel finished by going back to his book, Shino began his introduction then.
"I am Shino Aurame, I like my clan, I dislike those who dislike bugs, I have no real goal, my only hobby is bug collecting." Shino quietly said, Jiriaya and Tsunade smirked as they stood up.
"Alright you six, meet at training ground 15 tomorrow at eight in the morning, don't eat breakfast or you will see it again." Tsunade said, the six genin nodded and left for various places about Konoha, preparing for the next day, we will see only what Naruto is doing, seeing as he met with not only the strangest event but the only event in which a real desription is needed.
Naruto. Location:Weapons store.
"Hey anyone here?" Naruto asked, then from nowhere he was on the ground in a back breaking hug.
"Naru-kun, long time no see." Tenten said, Naruto twitched as he readjusted his spine.
"Yeah Tenten-chan, hows it going?" Naruto asked, Tenten rolled up her sleeve to reveal her arm scarred up. "What happened?" Naruto asked, Tenten looked around before saying anything.
"My tousan came in drunk the other day, I don't blame him though, mom recently died and he has taken to drownig his sorrows is sake." Tenten said sadly, then the door to the back room swung open and Tenten's father walked out.
"Tenten, where the 'ell are you, I need you for something." Tenten's eyes widened in horror as she hid, Naruto stood up and pulled out Cocytus.
"You fool, how dare you harm your own daughter for something she didn't even CAUSE!" Naruto shouted the last part out as Cocytus took over his body and was behind the man in a split second "Now I, Cocytus, will make sure you suffer, now let your grief be tripled, then tripled gain as you see everything you care for taken from you, I'm not talking about your wife either, I mean EVERYTHING you care for!" Cocytus Naruto shouted, the man began boiling as he picked Cocytus Naruto up and slung him into a katana display before falling to the ground and began crying, Cocytus Naruto stood up and slumped over, Naruto then took control of his body again. "Tenten-chan, come on you don't need to be around him anymore, he might do you like he just did me, except you won't have a god protecting you." Tenten teared up and silently let tears fall from her eyes, Naruto put a hand on her shoulder and hugged her lightly, comforting her as she let her emotions out, the two sat there for what seemed like hours, Tenten's father then stood up and picked the two genin up and threw them, this time at a mace display, but right as the two nearly hit the maces, the weapons melted, in the door way stood a man with kage robes and a head band stitched onto the robes, the symbol on the head band was a cross.
"You, foolish old man, should know better than to hurt your own family AND the son of a Hokage, kid your father will understand if you kill him." the man said as he flashed Naruto the 'nice guy' pose, Naruto smirked as he made a few clones.
"Look old man, I was willing to let you live, but now I think you need to know the meaning of pain, here we go!" Naruto shouted as five clones surrounded him, the first clone struck the man up into the air with a well placed punch, the second clone launched himself off the first clone and sent the man further up into the air, the third, fourth, and fifth clone did the same as the second, each taking off by the one that hit the man before them. Then Naruto released his weights and opened the first and second gate, and vanished up in the air, the man, still concious, was shocked to see that when he looked down he could see all of Konoha with ease, then Naruto appeared in front of him and kicked him further up into the air, think Lee's primary lotus style kicks, finally both of them were breathing heavily from lack of air while going up further, closing in on the atmosphere, Naruto then used a quick wind jutsu to keep the two up in the air. "Now meet my ultimate taijutsu technique, Tower of Babel!" Naruto shouted before focusing all of his chakra to his right hand, jumped above the man, and slammed his fist onto the man's head, sending him plummeting with intense speeds, Naruto vanished and reappeared right where the man had taken off from on the groud, he was still panting but held his fist up srongly, a second later and the man slammed stomach first into Naruto's fist, Naruto slung him off and smirked, then limped over to Tenten, hugged her, and passed out in her arms.
"Come on Naruto-kun, lets get you home." Tenten said, the kage who had been there picked the two up in metal shells and they all vanished to Minato's home.
"Hmm, ah Hakamori-san, long time no see, so the rumours were true?" Minato asked, Hakamori nodded solemnly before setting the two metal shells down and calling the metal back towrads himself.
"I must advise you that this girls father is most likely dead, if not he will come looking for her, if so allow Naruto-san to deal with him as he sees fit." Hakamori said, Minato nodded, an explanation not needed for the event.
"Today has seen more and more strange events, first Sojo-bo and his top five Tengu are found unconcious at the Taira clan home, their leader was a freaking demon himself apparently, the entire clan was wiped out, the main perpetrator is sleeping in a guest room as well, and now to top it off my son might have just killed someone, geez can this day get any worse?" Hakamori nodded.
"Yeah, Orochimaru was spotted in my village, before I received your letter, and I gave him enough food to last him a trip from Suna to the other side of the ocean and back." Minato sighed and slumped over but quickly recomposed himself.
"Well I'll take those two to Naruto's room so they can sleep, I hope Tayuya won't mind sharing Naruto for awhile." Minato said as Tenten, who had fallen asleep sometime during Hakamori picking the two up to the current point, snuggled up next to Naruto and placed an arm around him.
"I'm sure she won't." Hakamori said as he bowed to Minato and leapt onto a nearby couch and fell asleep.
"You couldn't have helped me?" Minato asked before making a shadow clone to carry Tenten while he carried Naruto. Elsewhere in Konoha, Axel was clearing a patch of woodland area to make his home.
"Geez this takes forever!" Axel shouted in anger, he had lost valuable time for reading his books and was, for lack of better terminology. pissed "Hmm, Deforesting winds." Axel said, a massive gust shot past him and uprooted more than enough trees. "Heh perfect, now deteriorating waters." he swung his arms downward and the water followed his movement, making a large depression next to a large pile of trees. "Now it's going to take me the rest of the night to make this into a house, here we go!" Axel shouted as the wind began destroying all the branches on the trees and setting them up while water collected mud and packed it onto the trees after the wind placed them down, later that night the wind and water vanished, a log house stood around Axel, who then commanded water to fill up the depression that became his pond.
"Hmm, note to self: Tomorrow get rid of the water and get down there and make a tunnel to the nearby lake so I can fish from here instead of having to go get fish to put in here." Axel said, writing what he said on a little post it note and stuck it in his house. "Huh who the hell are you?" Axel asked as a chibi version of himself walked out of the log cabin with a sign.
"I'm you, sorta, anyway I'm here to announce the end of the chapter, the writer is tired and can't write anymore for this chapter unless he puts up another interlude, which the previous one probably made a few readers very angry." Chibi Axel said, the real Axel twitched before calling the wind to him.
"Winds, cleave that son of a bitch." Axel said, Chibi Axel dodged easily and knocked Axel into the depression the real Axel had made previously.
"Later readers, Writer-sama says review if you read this far." chibi Axel said, Axel finally managed to climb out of the pond depression just in time to flip Chibi Axel off. "Oh by the way readers, I just fourth walled you BWAHAHA!" Chibi Axel shouted as he vanished in a poof of smoke
Love it? Hate it? Like it? Don't care? Review anyway. Also that little ending bit about the Fourth wall thing, I didn't think of that one, my friend did and put it up there, so if its strange blame him for it not me. See ya next time readers, next time the Chibi ender will be either Naruto or Tenten, oh wait no Tayuya.
