Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Death Brings New Life ❯ The Sealing ( Chapter 3 )

CrimsonCat10101: Well I'm sorry this took so long to update, but I do have school soooo yeah. I am for now on answering reviews in my chapters.

 

Firareth6: Very good start, i hope yu do something original with naruto. also have him kill sasuke and sakura if she bitches. update soon!

 

CrimsonCat10101: Well don't worry I have something in mind, as for Sakura well I might not go that far.

 

Silvertv: this is pretty interesting, i've always liked the idea of everyone thinking someone's dead, when they're not. Do you plan on showing how everyone else deals with his "death?" P.S. didn't you write a couple of chapters of another fanfic, something about Naruto in a new team? You're messing with my head, please stop it... X)

 

CrimsonCat10101: Well I am planning to soon. I want you people to suggest how you want them to react, so that I can do something you will like, otherwise you will have to deal with whatever I give. I WOULD LOVE ANY IDEAS! So please suggest!

 

KoolinKenji: I like this story so far it's really good

 

CrimsonCat10101: Thanks!

 

Arbitrary Doom: ...i like it thus far...are there going to be pairings later on?...is this going to be yaoi?(i like it but if you don't forget i said anything)...as for weapons...i've always had an affinity for broadswords...particularly the ones with two diffrent peaces of metal interwoven...XP!

 

CrimsonCat10101: Pairings? Maybe… If there was, it would be NarXHin, as for others…possibly ShikaXTem, AsumaXKure, NejiXTen. Again I'm not sure, so you can suggest while I think about it. Yaoi, I'm sorry but that is something I will always be unable to do. THANK YOU FOR BEING THE ONLY ONE TO SUGGEST A WEAPON! YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO KNOW I USED YOUR IDEA AND INCORPORATED IT WITH MY EDITORS! Wait until you see the result (heh, heh) I HAVE MY WEAPON NOW! SO NO MORE SUGGESTIONS FOR THAT!

 

THE GOD OF INTRESTING: Interesting

 

CrimsonCat10101: I have seen you before!

 

Hiro Uzumaki: thats was um short

 

CrimsonCat10101: Well yeah… Chapter 1 was more of an intro if anything.

 

Hiro Uzumaki: i think she likes him

 

CrimsonCat10101: Who Akane? Well, I will never do a main charaXOC, so rest easy people. If she were to like it would be more of a big sister, annoying brother relationship if anything.

 

MEDIA MINER

 

Zigyy553: I like this. update soon.

 

CrimsonCat10101: Thanks

 

GrayPheonix: Hmmm, sounds like a fun kind of training to inflict on someone. It is required for you to tell us about it. Afterall, how malicious is Kyuubi really? That's the question I want to hear. Anyway, update soon, Ja Ne

 

CrimsonCat10101: You'll find out about that question in the next chapter most likely.

 

INOYOKIA87: You know what I like Kyuubi. Its a good start please continue.

 

CrimsonCat10101: I like Kyuubi to.

 

 

 

CrimsonCat10101: Whew! That was long, or at least it took a long time. All right! Now onto the long awaited chapter.

Death Brings New Life

-The Sealing-

 

Naruto dropped more of the orange leaves in the large pile. Lifting a hand, he brushed off the tiny droplets of sweat beginning to form on his forehead.

 

`Why the hell did I have to gather so freaking many?' Naruto complained.

 

`Why? Is it that difficult?' Kyuubi innocently said.

 

`You know DAMN well what I'm talking about! These leaves were easy to spot, but only ONE AT A TIME! They were scattered across the whole DAMN forest, and I had to gather three HUNDRED of them!'

 

`Now brat, if you're done ranting, I'd like to continue with the procedures.' Kyuubi said smugly. Naruto crossed his arms defiantly and waited for the fox's explanation. `Now, these orange-copper leaves are native to this land, and is another reason I wanted to come here. These leaves are a part of a demon tree that resides in this very forest. The leaves grow only once every year.'

 

`Demon tree? So what?' Naruto said, rather annoyed.

 

`Listen and I'll tell you! You ungrateful brat! Exactly twenty-four hours after growing, the leaves fall off and are carried out in different directions by the wind.'

 

`How come?'

 

`I'm not sure actually; there are many legends about the forthcoming of the tree. Some say it was born from the spirit of an ancient demon. A demon foretold to be more ancient then myself. Others say it was the first plant to be created and is older then time itself. What I do know is its leaves have been used by demons for many generations. Demons use theses leaves for many things, but most notably rituals, summons, and other things in that area...'Kyuubi paused. `Are you listening?' Naruto stared passively before nodding. His uncertainty showed that he probably was daydreaming. Kyuubi sighed; this should have been expected since he had the shortest attention span known to man when it came to lectures and speeches.

 

`So why did I collect all these leaves?'

 

`It is necessary for what we are about to perform.' Kyuubi smiled sadistically behind his cage.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

 

Tsunade leaned against her chair, rubbing her temples from the stressful thinking she had been doing. She pulled out the gallon sized sake bottle. She lifted it and began to down the alcohol. She set the sake bottle on the Hokage desk before continuing. “What do you think Jiraya? I described everything the anbu had observed in that split second near the border.” Jiraya stepped out of the wall's shadow.

 

“Do you think Naruto's alive?” Jiraya said choking on the name of his prior disciple. The two sannins shared an uncomfortable silence before Tsunade whispered quietly.

 

“He's very dead Jiraya, I'm a medical ninja. I should know.” She took another swig of her sake, her face turning red from all the alcohol she had consumed.

 

“The red powerful chakra. Doesn't that sound a little to close? On top of that, Kabuto took Naruto's body with him for God knows what!” Jiraya voice was now being raised. “That means, that the anbu got closer to him, when they got closer to Kabuto. Don't you see? It's the best explanation I can give you.” The toad sannin was about to jump out the nearby window when a slammed hand on the desk stopped him, followed by the collapsing of a desk.

 

“He's DEAD! I checked his lifeless PULSE! DAMMIT! For crying out loud! I don't know even WHY I'm Hokage anymore!”

 

“Because, Naruto wanted you to be.” Jiraya turned and left, knowing that Tsunade was too hard to reason with in her depressed and drunken state. Back at the office, Tsunade slumped back in her chair. Her eyes were hardened, as life seemed non-present. She brought her hands up to catch the tears that began to fall.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

 

“Is this right?” Naruto asked. His frustration was evident in his voice. He was using the liquid on the orange copper leaves to write seals on his `kage bunshin'. Each leaf only had enough of the red liquid to smear two inches before it was useless. The `bunshin' was shirtless and had seals on the arms, chest, and forehead. The clone was tied to a tree so that it wouldn't move. It was also gagged due to all the cussing it was doing earlier. The seals had circles and writing that was foreign to Naruto. He was still at work, on the stomach's seal.

 

`NO! For heavens sake, why can't you get this right?' Kyuubi was just as aggravated as Naruto, possibly more. These demonic seals were a synch to him. He was even sending him the mental image of what it was supposed to look like. Why was this task so difficult for his container?

 

Oh! That's right! His container is a complete moron.

 

`The seals on the stomach are WAY more complicated then the others.' The blonde complained, wiping the mistake off…again. Kyuubi swore when this was over the brat was going to get a rude awakening for all he had put him through. Oh, how he could picture it now.

 

`It has to be more rounded like this.' Kyuubi sent him another mental image of the seal. It was midnight now, and they still were at work. This seal was only supposed to take two hours and it has already been five! It was only supposed to take 150 leaves, at most. Naruto had just tossed leaf number 250. Why he had been put in this boy instead of any other? Could it be any worse!?!?!?!

 

Then he thought about the other possibilities…a gay, stuck up prick, a lazy bum, a shy stuttering girl, a garbage disposal, a bug vessel, a mutt, an arrogant fate believer, and two squealing Sasuke fan girls.

 

Nope. It could be a lot worse.

 

After another two long infuriating hours, the seal was complete.

 

Naruto untied the clone and took off the cloth he used to gag him. Once that was done, he put his right hand on the clone's stomach, emitting chakra through his palm as instructed by the bijuu. He delivered as much chakra as he could through his hand. The chakra ran across the lining of the seal, radiating many twisting pathways. The blue slowly turned to crimson red as his, own chakra depleted. Naruto winced as he withstood the intense pressure that began, forming a small crater around Naruto and his `kage bunshin'. Once the chakra lit all the seals, he slowly released his hand. He felt weak instantly, as he staggered a short distance in order to lean against the large tree in close proximity.

 

The clone stood unmoving from it's standing position. The eyes opened instantly, revealing demonic blood ones. Two red-orange tails swayed behind the `Naruto' figure. The nails were shaper, like claws. The whisker marked cheeks were more distinct. It was a perfect replica of the two-tailed form of Naruto, except the tails weren't just chakra, but had fur.

 

“Fresh air never felt so good!” The `bunshin' stretched its limbs and looked at Naruto, who was barely standing now.

 

“That's what look like when I use your chakra…Damn! That's scary!” The blonde jinchuuriki couldn't move from his spot against the tree, he was to weary from the sealing.

 

“You think this is scary? Do you own a mirror?” Kyuubi sneered. The Kyuubi strode over to Naruto and cupped his chin. “It seems that I will be free for only two weeks, until we have to do that sealing again. I only have two tails of my power the rest is in you. I still reside within you, but my mind will be in this clone for now. Now to get payback for making me wait that long for you to do a simple demonic seal.” Releasing his hand from Naruto's chin, Kyuubi pulled his arm back. As soon as it could be brought back no more, he shot it to Naruto's stomach, his hand in a closed fist. The blonde clenched his stomach as he coughed out some blood that had become present in his mouth. His knees buckled, and he fell forward. Unconscious. “You better prepare yourself. This is nothing compared to what I have planned.” After stretching a bit, the fox walked away feeling refreshed.

 

`Boy does it feel good to vent my years of anger, I feel much better.' He cheerily left, leaving the blonde behind.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

 

Akane threw her last kunai at the target. The kunai went 10 meters, before sticking to the bulls-eye of the target. Breathing heavily she went to gather her kunai. Putting them in a scroll, she sealed them and put it in a pouch. She walked home, noticing that the chimney was smoking. At once she knew that Hiroshi had started a fire. It was about 2:00A.M. She went inside the small house to be greeted by her grandfather, Hiroshi.

 

“Ahhh, your back. Was your training okay?” Hiroshi smiled.

 

“Yeah, it was fine gramps.” She said rudely, taking her shoes off near the door. “Alright I'm going to bed, and you should have been a while ago.” She started to take off to her bedroom down the hall.

 

“You know, the kid hasn't come back yet.” Akane stopped mid step and turned to face her grandfather.

 

“This late?” She questioned. Hiroshi nodded solemnly.

 

“That brat! I'll kill him! If he's not already dead that is!” Akane threw her ninja boots back on and dashed out to where Naruto said he was going to train. When she reached the area, Naruto was face down and unconscious. Akane rushed over to him.

 

“Why the hell do I always have to find you beat up and unconscious?” She began to swear as she dragged him back to the house, not caring as his head collided with a couple large rocks. “Damn runt!”

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

 

Naruto began to stir as morning approached. “Uggghh, what the hell happened?” He sat up on the couch as he held his head. “What the hell happened to my head? I feel like I was dropped off a cliff and landed headfirst.” He got up and went to the kitchen. `It's probably the damn fox's fault.' He thought. `I wonder where he went to?'

 

Hiroshi noticed he had entered and told him that breakfast was prepared. The table was set as he sat down. Hiroshi set the plate filled with baken, eggs, and toast in front of him. He thanked him and began to eat. Naruto asked where Akane was and he replied that she had to go shopping nearby.

 

“Why were you unconscious again?” Hiroshi questioned the Konoha ninja.

 

“Damn fox.” He muttered under his breath.

 

“What was that? Speak up, these old ears can't pick up as much as they used to.” The old man said pointing to his ear.

 

“I said I was training and I got carried away.” Hiroshi accepted the answer and Naruto jumped off his chair to dash out the door.

 

“Where you going?”

 

“Training!” The blonde yelled, as he was heading towards his training area. It was the same spot. The area was forested, but held a big enough clearing to train.

 

“Alright, you DAMN fox! Where are you?” He yelled. He stood strong until he was tapped on the shoulder.

 

“Right behind you.” Kyuubi grinned maliciously. Naruto jumped a bit, but turned to face the bijuu.

 

“What have you been doing?” Naruto questioned rudely, suspicious of what he may have done. Kyuubi walked over to a brown bag lying against a tree.

 

“Shopping, of course.” He opened the pack.

 

“What shopping?” The jinchuuriki was curious now. Naruto then realized that Kyuubi had different apparel. The fox wore standard anbu armor, except it wasn't sleeveless, but was long sleeved. The demon fox pulled out black clothing. It consisted of black pants with many pockets and pouches to store things. A sleeveless black shirt along with a trench coat also accompanied the pants. The trench coat was navy blue with white edging. The back of the trench coat also had a white kanji for courage. Kyuubi threw the clothing towards Naruto.

 

“Put this on.”

 

“Why?” Naruto questioned.

 

“Because brat, your clothes are dirty, torn-up, and disgusting.” Kyuubi lied, that wasn't even half of his reasons. Naruto finally obliged and got dressed into the new clothing. Still leaving the necklace that Tsunade gave him around his neck. He made sure to pull out the Konoha Hitai-ate from his pocket and put it in his new pant's pocket. Once he was done, he tossed his orange jumpsuit to the side. Kyuubi sneakily grabbed the clothing.

 

“Hey! What are you doing with that?” Naruto said pointing at the orange clothing in Kyuubi's hand.

 

“Oh this?” With that said, he burned the clothing into ashes in his hand, using a fire jutsu. “It's trash.” Naruto started to cry waterfalls.

 

“Why the hell did you do that?” The blonde whined.

 

“It was orange and a freaking jumpsuit! Why wouldn't I do it?” Kyuubi growled. He was sick of that THING. “Moving on, we will initiate the training. Now your chakra control is pitiful to say the least, and its what you're going to need in the future so, we will train that with…” Kyuubi grabbed a tree branch and snapped it. The branch was thin and had about a dozen small leaves. “This.” Naruto stared at the demon then at the branch then went back in forth in confusion.

 

“What the hell?” Naruto said in confusion.

 

“You will channel your chakra through the branch and try to make the leaves fall off.” Kyuubi explained then tossed the branch at him. Naruto caught the branch as Kyuubi was speaking. “Now this is only part of your training. You will do this from morning to noon. From 12:30P.M. to 3:00P.M. we will work on that nutshell you call a brain.”

 

“HEY!”

 

“Don't deny the truth. Now from 3:30P.M. to 6:00P.M. we will practice taijutsu.” When the fox said that his eyes gleamed murderously. “Then 6:30P.M. to late we will work on ninjutsu. Is this clear?” Naruto nodded vigorously. “Good! Now lets get to work.”
