Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Henzuru2 ❯ second seal time ( Chapter 7 )

Disclaimer: For the last time! I Don’t Own Naruto!

A.N: for those who were wondering about the elements, they are omnipresent. Where ever that element is, so are they. They are kind of like low-level Kami’s. And since Naruto is an incarnate of those elements, they are also in/with him.
And before you read this, just know that I hate writing completely new fight scenes.

And it seems that I made a mistake concerning the number of tenketsus in a human body. There are 251 tenketsus in a normal human; therefore Naruto has 502. -Thanks Dual Rasengan ((BTW not many people know that.))

The Second Seal: Time


Nothing happened on the first day. All the team of four did was run, run, and run some more. At the end of the day, the only one not tired was Kit. The rest were puzzled by this, but were quickly falling asleep, so they didn’t ask. As they sank to the ground, Kit offered to take watch.

As he watched his team sleep, he felt the need to spill blood. This was the first time that this had happened. ‘It must be because of the snake bastards.’ Making sure that his entire team was asleep he created a bunshin. Leaving it in his place he leapt off into the forest, shedding his human form as he went. His hair became blood red, his ears became as the foxes. He revealed his nine tails and slitted cerulean eyes. He extended his claws, making them sharp and hard. He was ready. Now all he had to do was find the snake and the bastard.

A rustling sound was heard off to the right. The demon lord sniffed the air. ‘Oh what luck! They are here already.’ He snickers, drawing their attention. “So did you figure it out yet teme? Or did you Snake-sennin?”

Sasuke spoke; “Show your self, Naruto! You are the only person to ever call me that and live! And remove that stupid henge, you aren’t scaring any one.”

Kit stepped out into the clearing, quickly changing to human ((Naruto)) form. He begins laughing, “So you figured it out. Surprised to see me? You thought you’d never see me again didn’t you?”

Both Sasuke and Orochimaru spoke at the same time “So it is true.”

Sasuke seemed puzzled, “How did you survive? That move should have killed you.”

At that Kit quit laughing, “But it did. Let me show you my other side. The reason why the fourth died, and I was shunned.” The boy sinks down onto all fours, growing fur, becoming the Kyuubi; the only difference was that in this form he had golden fur, not red. His eyes stayed blue, but lost their henge, changing to slitted.

Orochimaru and Sasuke gasp. The kitsune steps forward; “This is my other side, the Kyuubi no Kitsune, Nine-Tailed Demon Lord of the South. As I became her kit, she merged with me after our fight. Now I am what she used to be and more.”

He changed back into Hanyou form and clapped his hands together. They began to glow blue before he slammed them into the ground crying “Alchemic Bindings!” A small array formed beneath the pair, trapping their legs.

To say that they were surprised was an understatement. No ninja had ever even heard of alchemy, let alone see it. They had no idea what the boy had just done, and he had not used chakra. ((I don’t know what alchemy uses, besides equivalent exchange. If anyone knows, please tell me.)) Orochimaru was the first to speak. “What was that!?” both sound nins easily break out of the bindings, Naruto hadn’t meant them to be anything but a distraction.

“That, my dearly hated enemy, is alchemy. And no Orochimaru, you will never learn to use it. Tonight both of you die!”

Sasuke threw a kunai at him, but was surprised when he caught it. The dobe caught it! He couldn’t believe it. The dead last had improved; it was time to see just how much. He activated the level 2 curse seal and charged, clipping Kit. “You say that we would die tonight? I believe you are mistaken, tonight I will finish what I started years ago.” He threw several shuriken at Kit who either dodged or caught them all.

“Well then. I will tell you my new name. It is Kit, Sennin of the Hidden Shadow. That reminds me, your brother really it a nice person.”

Sasuke tackled him; “You met my brother!? Where?”

Kit began laughing, “He isn’t the one you should be looking for. It was Orochimaru who killed your family. He made it look like Itachi.”

“You lie! Orochimaru-sama would never do such a thing!” he began to strangle Kit, but it burst in a puff of smoke. “Bunshin? You have indeed gotten better.” He activates his sharingan. “Sharingan!”

“Onimetsuki!” His eyes become blood red. Kit holds out both hands, in one a red flame appears, in the other a black rock. Sasuke charges Kit, trying to stop him from whatever he was doing. Just before he got to him, Kit slammed his hands together. The flame caught the rock on fire…BOOM

A shockwave from the blast shook the forest, awakening all of the Chuunin hopefuls. Ino jumped up. “We should see what that was. Did you see anything Kit?” She looks over to see the boy sleeping. “Wake up idiot!” she punches him in the head. The clone burst into smoke. “Kit? Where are you?” ‘Oh God, I hope he wasn’t in that blast.’ “Hey everyone! Wake up! Kit disappeared and there’s a major fight going on somewhere!”

The others sat up straight up at the words: Kit, Missing, and Fight. Ino yells “We have to find him. If we don’t we fail the exam! I don’t want to be a genin for another year!” she runs off into the forest, hearing towards the sound of battle. The others following after.

Elsewhere, Gaara of the Sand was sitting up in a tree. Not sleeping as usual. He had felt the explosion and was slightly worried about it. The energy he felt was slightly familiar, but it was mixed up with something else. Shukaku was restless; the shockwave seemed to have the same effect on the demon. Looking down he saw Team 7 run underneath his tree, but there was no Kit. If he remembered correctly, Team 10 had three people, Kit, Ino, and Choji. Of course he didn’t remember their names. His thoughts were more along the lines of Kit, yellow hair, and fat kid. They seemed to be in a rush and just as worried as him, so he decided to follow them.

When they reached the source of the explosion they saw two people fighting, and one person standing on the sidelines. One had long blood red hair, fox ears and nine tails. He was fighting someone from the grass. Inside Gaara’s head Shukaku was yelling something about the Demon Lord of the South being free again. When Gaara questioned the demon he got only one word. “Naruto?”

The pink haired kunoichi ((Is that how you spell it? I couldn’t find it on my info site)) turned to Gaara; “What do you mean? Neither of them is Naruto, he died a while ago.”

The red haired vessel gives Sakura a glare. “Shukaku says that the Nine Tails Demon Lord is free. He also said that it had been imprisoned in Naruto. But he also says that he is different. The chakra has increased and changed colour. That IS Naruto.”

“I thought that the Kyuubi was killed by the fourth?”

Ino gives her a look; “Apparently not. That explains all the looks the villagers gave him, and why he lives alone. Why did we not see it before?!”

Back in the fight, Kit clapped his hands together and pushed them towards the ground. A sword began to rise. It was the same size as Zabuza’s old sword. The core of the blade was a bluish-green with brown designs crossing it while the edge was red. The swords colours represented Kit’s elements, just like the incomplete merger gauge. Sasuke also pulled out a sword; it was Orochimaru’s Kusanagi. They were about to clash when Gaara sent in his sand to stop them.

Kit’s tails twitched in agitation. “What did you do that for!”

“Its simple. Now is not the time for this. And I believe you have some questions to answer, Naruto.”

Kit stopped trying to break out of the sand at the sound of his birth name. “So you figured it out to huh?”

Just at that moment Orochimaru jumps to Sasuke’s side. “This isn’t over yet. We will meet you in the finals. There you will perish.” Both snakes disappear in a puff of smoke.

Gaara releases his sand and walks over to Kit, who had just returned to his human form, once again hiding his tails. “Who was that?”

“Some one I really want to kill, and that’s all you need to know about them.” Changing the subject. ‘How did you know that was me?”

Ino answered that. “Gaara said that Shukaku said that it was you. He also said that the Kyuubi is sealed inside you. Is that true? And how are you still alive?” she really hoped that the Kyuubi was a lie.

Kit gave a glance at Gaara; “So you’ve begun to talk to each other have you. Good. He may let you sleep now.” Turning to Ino, and in a quite voice. “Yes, that was true.”

Ino looks at the ground, “Oh… I’m sorry. Wait! You said was. What about now?”

Kit gives her a big grin. “Now I’m Kyuubi.” Seeing the group’s shock and fear he says, “Don’t worry. Kyuubi attacked only because Konoha killed her family. She’s not a threat any more, and I never was. If I had wanted to kill you I would already have done it.”

Ino looks over at Choji; “That makes sense. I would have wanted revenge if someone killed my family.” she looked back to Kit “What should we call you now? Kyuubi, Naruto, Kit, or something else?”

“Doesn’t matter. Here’s something I picked up while I was on watch.” He pulls out two scrolls, one heaven and one earth. “We can go to the tower now. I will answer the rest of your questions there.”

Later, inside the tower, after Team 7 had used their scrolls and summoned the teacher, everyone that knew Kit or Naruto surrounded him. They all wanted to know what was going on. Kit sighed before starting. “Yes, I am Naruto, or was. Now I am the Kyuubi, but I prefer to be called Kit. As to how I am still alive, after Sasuke had ‘killed’ me, Kyuubi gave me her power and made me Kyuubi, keeping both of us alive. Since then I have been travelling around several REAL hidden villages. And no I wont tell you about them. It’s forbidden. Anything else?”

Neji popped up; “Did you learn any seal removal jutsus?” the hope of finally getting rid of his ”Caged Bird Seal” was making him more social than he would usually be.

Kit smiled; “Yep! But it will take a while to set up. I’ll do it after the Finals or the Preliminaries, depending on how many finish this part.”

Ino spoke next; “Who were you fighting?”

“Not teeeellllllliiinnnngggg… you’ll find out when we fight next.”

Neji gave him a look; “So you know.” It was a statement, not a question.

“Of course I do. And who knows, you may even know him as well.”

Just then Tsunade burst through the door. “Good, you’re all here. The second part of the exam is here by over.” She summoned a few ANBU to her side; “Go retrieve any still out in the forest that are still alive.” She turned back to those present. “Let’s see… Leaf, Grass, and Sand. That’s all? Well then it seems that there wont be a preliminary round this time. Please follow me and we will start with the Finals. You know the drill. Anyone who does not wish to proceed may quit now; it wont hurt your team. The finals will be a one on one match with no rules. Defeat your opponent and proceed to the next round. Even if you don’t make it to the final round you may still pass. All of you may become Chuunin, but then again, maybe none of you will. So, whose quitting now?” she looked around at those assembled. “No one? Well then, lets get this started. First round: Kit Bikyuu Vs. Utaki Sora! Will those two please step forward, the rest of you stand on the balcony until it’s your turn. And remember, these matches will be broadcasted to every hidden village. So do your best.”

As the others walked up the stairs as Kit faced Sora. “So that’s what you’re calling yourself these days teme.” ((For those of you who haven’t guessed, it’s Sasuke))

“Shut it Dobe.”

Tsunade stepped between them; “Begin!” she disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The battle started slow enough, a few thrown shuriken and kunai. The two faced off using nothing but taijutsu and their tools. Here they were about even, it seemed that the snake’s training had done the bastard some good. On the other side, Sasuke was fuming; ‘How did the dobe get this good? Last time should have killed him. Come to think of it, how did he survive?’

Sasuke decided that now was as good a time as any to ask his question. “How did… you survive our last battle… dobe?” he said as he threw several more punches.

His opponent just laughed. “Oh, yes. How did I survive? It was quite simple, and I must thank you for it. It is a bloodline that awakens during near death experiences. And because you killed me, well, it is now permanently active.” The kitsune laughed again.

Sasuke was not happy. Not only was Naruto laughing at him, but Sasuke had unwittingly helped him activate an unknown bloodline. “Lets see if it rivals mine!” he growled activating his sharingan, even though it was hidden behind his genjutsu.

“Oh hohoho… you’re going to use THAT are you? Well then, I’ll just have to use mine now won’t I?” he placed his hands in the demon seal and gathered his youki, closing his eyes. “Demon Form: Onimetsuki! Second Level!” the ground began to rumble as the demonic energy began to swirl around Naruto.

He snapped his eyes open revealing nine lines connecting the outside of his iris to his pupil. The lines were blood red, contrasting greatly to the ice blue of his normal eyes. A golden pentagram surrounded the iris as well, the lines just brushing the sides. The pentagram began to spin as he added more chakra to his eyes.

“Lets get this started shall we? I’m done warming up.”

Sasuke nodded and the two opponents charged each other. The following battle was so fast that very few could actually see what was happening. Several different colour streaks and explosions were scattered across the arena as the two battled it out. Those that could see what was happening were shocked. High-level jutsus were being tossed out and taken as if they were nothing. And those that could sense the power level being used by the combatants was even more shocked when they realised that a Sennin level battle was taking place in the chuunin exam.

Kakashi sweat dropped; ‘They are at Sennin level in strenght? I’m surprised that both of them haven’t started countries of their own.’ He was using his sharingan eye and saw that it was Sasuke that Naruto was fighting. He would leave the capture to Tsunade and Jiraiya after the battle was finished. He was sure that they knew.

Suddenly the two were forced apart as Sasuke’s teammate ((Orochimaru)) hurled a sword in-between them. “Use this! Make sure you don’t loose!” he shouted.

Sasuke ran forward and grabbed Tsunagi (SP) before rushing Naruto, intending on ending the boy’s life once and for all.

Naruto smirked; “A sword duel it is then!” he clapped his hands together and slammed them into the ground, a blue light spreading from his palms. His sword rose from the earth as he drew his palms from the ground. “Meet my little friend, Yonyousoken.”

‘How is that little?’ thought Sasuke as he stared at the intricately crafted sword. It was five feet long and nine inches wide. It had the kanji for Fire, Wood, Earth, and Water inscribed on both sides of the blade in red, green, brown, and blue. At the base of the blade was a four-coloured gem.

The battle progressed from there with the exception that in combination with the various jutsu being used, the clash of steel meeting steel could be heard along with yellow sparks flying when they locked blades. Each side tried every trick they knew to defeat the other but to no avail, they were too evenly matched. The match would have to be decided through summons decided Sasuke. He already knew that Naruto could summon frogs, and he could summon snakes. Time to see which was stronger.

“Kyuichose no Jutsu!” there was a gigantic puff of smoke. When it cleared Sasuke was standing on the head of the Snake boss.

Eh? What am I doing here? Hey brat! What’s the idea of bringing me here!? The giant snake looked around. Its you! The snake roared.

Kit didn’t give him time as he called out; “Kyuichose no Jutsu: Special: Second in Command: Akahirameki” Kit threw one arm to the side as the summon appeared beside him.

What ya want boss? The kitsune said as he bowed to Kit. ((Philo, I did say that he was the kitsune boss right? I can’t remember were though.))

“I need you to make a shield, make sure that none of them,” he pointed at the stands, “get hurt.” The fox nodded

Back in the stands everyone was surprised. The battle had just gone up another notch. Summons. Not only that, but one of the summons had called its summoner their boss. Was he really their boss or was it just the term for the sumoner?

Sasuke sneered at Naruto; “Are you really so weak that you can’t even summon their boss?”

The snake below him muttered something about trying not to anger the other but it was ignored as Sasuke continued; “Heh, you will never beat me. Once a dead last, always a dead last.”

Naruto was beginning to get annoyed and yelled; “There’s a reason that I didn’t summon the boss. Or I should say can’t, as you’ll soon find out!” he began doing seals at a pace that even the Sharingan couldn’t follow, not to mention that there were seals involved that a human could not use.

“Demon Jutsu: Transformation! Full Demon Form!” he yelled as he sank down on all fours. The popping of bones could be heard across the stadium as his body lost its human shape. He began to grow reddish-orange fur as nine tails shot from his tailbone. Last he increased in size until he was slightly larger than the snake boss.

I am the Boss. And hello again Orochi, ya miss me?

The snake lunged at Kit, intent on revenge. A while ago the two had gotten in a fight over something small. Neither of them could remember what it was over. But in the end, Kit won, and Orochi had left, missing part of his tail. It had taken him months to re-grow it.

Kit dodged, getting a slight nick on his right flank. Ah ah ahhhh. You know better than that, Orochi-kuuuuuunnn. Kit whirled and hit Orochi’s tail.

The snake smirked. Right where I want you. Snake Jutsu: Forced Ningen Form! He said as he bit Kit, who couldn’t move because Orochi had wrapped his tail around the Kitsune.

Kit had been forced back into his human form and Orochi began to crush him, while Sasuke was laughing, still standing on the Snake’s head. “I WILL have the power to defeat my brother!”

The crowd gasped. Those who did not know before had just came to the conclusion of the boy’s real identity. Others where just surprised that he had let it slip. Orochimaru just covered his face as a large sweat drop appeared on the back of his head. “Baka.”

Kit struggled to get out from under the snake’s coils. He tried everything that he could, but none of it worked. ‘Wait! I still have those!’ he then formed his one time favourite seal; “Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!” two clones poofed in next to him. They began to push on the snake just enough to let Kit scramble out from under it, though it took some contortions that should not have been possible, even for a demon.

As soon as he was out, he and his clones took up positions opposite each other. There were three Kit’s so it was they were a little off from that, they were equal distance form each other.

Sasuke sneered once again; “What do you think two bunshins can do against me!?”

Kit smirked; “This.” Both he and his clones began the seals that would change ((Or end)) history forever.

Then all at once they called out;
“Doton, Oni Shuken Jutsu: Yomi Rifuto!”
“Suiton, Oni Shuken Jutsu: Mizubashira no Yomi!”
“Katon, Oni Shuken Jutsu: Kyuubi no Faiagekido!”

For a second nothing happened. Sasuke smirked. Then he was gone. He had ceased to be.

And that was when all hell broke loose.

From nowhere giant waves crashed through Konoha, the sky turned crimson as fire fell like rain. The earth cracked and split to its core. Ad at the place where all three met, a darkening rift began to form and the elements began to merge together, feeding on each other’s energy, becoming self-sustaining. Fire and water raged against each other across the earth. All life was instantly vaporized as the fire rained down; the water from the sea rose up and covered the land as the land split open to swallow it all. A geyser of steam rose from the gaping hole in the earth as the waters of the world came in contact with the molten core of the world. The molten rock began to solidify, freezing the lifeblood of the planet. And in the darkness, nothing was left. Nothing at all.

Just before all that happened Orochimaru, knowing what was going to happen, decided that he would have his own revenge. He would not allow the kitsune peace in death, no, the kit would be tortured for the rest of time, however long that was. Or so he thought. “Shiki Fuujin no Jutsu!”

The god of death, the shinigami, fazed in behind the Snake Sennin before plunging its hand through the snake’s soul. Kit was frozen in fear. He knew what this jutsu was capable of. The hand of death touched him… and stopped. And death spoke. “The rules have been violated. This one cannot be sealed again. Once sealed, one can never be sealed again. And this one will not be sealed. I owe this one a debt for the release of my son.” Death withdrew its hand from the snake’s soul and disappeared, reappearing behind Kit. “Come with me.” He grabbed Kit and pulled him into his own dimension.

As the world ended outside.

Kit found himself in a world of darkness. Behind him came a voice. “As I said before. I owe you a debt for the release of my son. It was your chakra that freed him. Therefore you shall not die now. In fact, no one has to. Time. That is my other name. I shall send you back in time. When you will appear I do not know, that it up to fate. But you will still know everything that you do now and retain all of your powers and strength, along with a gift from me. Let me see that sword.” He grasped the Sanyousoken. “A fine blade. And to it I shall add some power. Under me I have lesser shinigami. Each one of them wields a sword called a Soul Slayer.” At the shocked and horrified look on Kit’s face he continued. “Don’t worry. It doesn’t really kill the souls, but it can hurt them. It allows them to fight the evil souls of the dead, the ones that have been consumed by darkness, and purify them. They are able to send the good souls who have not gone to rest to heaven. The evil ones will be sent to hell." Kit nodded. that sounded Ok.

Death smiled. "You understand. That’s good. Because the reward for freeing my son is that you will become an Elite Shinigami, my left hand, as my son is my right." He ran his hand along the edge of the sword leaving a silvery edge to it. "Here is your new and improved sword. I give you the Three Elements Soul Slayer: Judgement!" Death gave him a smile, but it was actually the scariest thing that Kit had ever seen. the Smile of Death was enough to kill most people with fright. Kit shuddered. "Well, its time to go!" The Head Shinigami opened up another portal and shoved Kit through it, giving one last comment; "Have fun!"

When he was gone Death sat down in one of his many Lazy Boy recliners. "Have fun indeed. I wish him the best of luck. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to send him back. Oh well. What's done is done. We'll just have to see what happens."

Time Warp ((Before Kit Appears))

Naruto and Team 7 were currently chasing after Madam Shijimi's cat. Again!

'Damn it! How many times can one cat run away!?' thought Naruto who had just tripped over a tree root. 'This is the third time this week! Though I can't blame the poor thing. I'd run away too if that fat lady tried to strangle me with her hugs of death. I guess I can thank the damn fox for that at least.'

Suddenly from another part of the forest an annoying scream pierced the quiet; "Sasuke-kun! You're the best!" It seemed the bastard had caught the cat before him. "Stupid Uchiha." mumbled Naruto.

Ten minutes later found Team 7 gathered around the rendezvous ((SP)) point. Naruto glaring at Sasuke, Sakura fawning over him, and Sasuke ignoring it all.

There was a poof of smoke and a familiar; "Yo!" as Kakashi appeared before them. he ignored the usual "You're Late!" from his subordinates as he proceeded to lead them back to the Hokage tower.

Everyone present winced as Madam Shijimi hugged her cat. The Sandaime sighed; 'There should be some kind of animal cruelty law being infringed upon her, but it's the Daimyo's wife. It wouldn't be good to anger him.' He sighed again as he began looking for another mission for the rookie genin team.

"Ok, Kakashi's Team 7, your next mission is to... baby-sit an elder's grandson, shopping in the neighbouring village, and helping dig up potatoes."

Naruto's face fell at each new mission, until finally, he burst; "NO NO NO NO!!!! No thank you! I want a more exciting mission. Find us a better one!"

Sasuke glared at him, but was inwardly agreeing with him. Sakura was thinking about how annoying Naruto was, and Kakashi, well, he should have seen this coming.

Iruka, who was assisting the Hokage that day, jumped up and started yelling at him, using his infamous “Demon Head no Jutsu.“ "You idiot! You're just a rookie! Everyone starts off like this and works their way up!"

Naruto started yelling back; "But all we're getting are the crappiest missions possible."

Kakashi hit him over the head with a quick; "Shut up."

Sandaime sighed; "Naruto, it seems I have to explain to you what these duties are all about. Everyday the village receives numerous requests, from babysitting to assassination. Each request is written down in these lists..." he said indicating the papers scattered across his desk, "and then divided into an A,B,C,D ranking based on difficulty. the missions are handed out to ninjas based on their rank and abilities. if completed successfully we receive payment from the client. You guys just became shinobi, so D-rank missions are perfect for you."

Naruto was sitting facing away from the Hokage, talking to himself; "Last night I had pork ramen, so miso sounds good for..."

"HEY!!! LISTEN!!!" Sandaime yelled.

Kakashi hit Naruto over the head again while muttering a quick apology to the Hokage.

"Ya know... I'm not the trouble making brat you still think I am!" Naruto hmphed.

Sarutobi smiled; "OK then... if you want it that much..." Sakura and Kakashi gasped. "I'll give you a C-Rank mission. You are to protect a certain person."

"Who!? Who!? A Fuedal Lord!? A Princess?!!!! Come on! Tell us!" yelled Naruto.

"Calm down, I'm about to introduce him. Hey! Will you come in here?" Sarutobi yelled at the door.

The door opened and in walked an old man, a little taller than Naruto, with a bottle of booze in his hand. "What's this?" the old man asked. "There just a bunch of super brats." He leaned against the wall. "Especially the shortest one with the super stupid-looking face. Are you really ninja? Hey?!!"

Naruto looked to both sides before jumping at the old man; "Who you calling microscopic?!!! I'll kill you!!"

Kakashi grabbed hold of the orange clad ninja before he could do any damage. "What's the point of killing the person were supposed to protect? Baka."

The old man began to introduce himself; "I am the super expert bridge builder Tazuna. I expect you to provide me super protection until I get back to my country and complete the bridge." he said with an un interested look.

Kakashi, sensing their clients impending doom, stood before his students; "Meet me at Konoha's north gate in one hour. Don't be late. Dismissed!" he disappeared, ignoring the looks the three genin gave him.

An hour later, Team 7 were all at the gate, even Kakashi. ((Its the end of the world! wait, that already happened…. never mind)) "Let's go!!" yelled Naruto.

'Can't he ever be quiet?' thought Sasuke and Sakura.

"What are you so excited about?" asked Sakura.

"It's the first time I've ever been outside the village."

Tazuna glanced at Kakashi; "Hey! Am I really going to be safe with this brat?"

Kakashi smiled, though you couldn’t see it, inwardly he sighed; 'I'll have to work on that sometime.' "Hehe... Don't worry. I'm a jounin."

Behind him, Naruto glared at them; 'I should have killed the old man when I had the chance.' "Hey, Old man!!! Don't mess with Ninjas! I'm incredible!! One day I'll be Hokage! My name is Uzumaki Naruto!!!! Remember it!"

"The Hokage is the village's number one ninja, right? I doubt someone like you could make it..." he took another swig from his bottle.

"Shut Up!! I'm prepared to do anything to become Hokage! Once I become Hokage you will acknowledge me!!!" screamed Naruto in Tazuna's face.

"No I won't, brat. Even if you did become Hokage."

That blew it for Naruto; "I'll kill you!!!" he lunged at the bridge builder.

Kakashi caught him once more. "I said stop it moron."

They continued, seemingly oblivious to the person or people watching them.

"Hey Tazuna," called Saukra, "what is it like in Wave country?" Tazuna ignored her. She turned to Kakashi; "Sensei, do they have ninja in that country too?"

Kakashi shook his head; "No, they don’t. But they do in most other countries. Don't worry, there wont be any ninja combat on a C-rank mission." He noticed Tazuna look away at that. 'Seems Sasuke noticed him too.' He looked down as they passed a puddle in the road. 'This will be a good experience for them. Let's see how they react.'

The group continued on, while behind them, two shinobi rose from the seemingly harmless pool of water. The two ran up behind Kakashi; the chains connecting them wrapped around the jounin. "One down." they pulled on the chains.

His team turned around just in time to see their sensei ripped apart by the chain connecting the two unknown ninja.

Sakura screamed; "Ka-Kakashi Sensei!!!"

Naruto and Sasuke froze. Sasuke from not knowing what to do. Naruto froze, not from fear or not knowing what to do, but because he felt something tugging at him. Tugging at his seal, at his soul, and at his ((And Kyuubi's)) chakra.

The two shinobi appeared behind Naruto; "Two down." they were about to do the same to him, when the ground below Naruto turned into a black pit. They jumped back, just in time to avoid falling in.

Naruto, however, did not fall in. He was floating above the pit with a spaced out look on his face. Suddenly a pillar of white, red, purple, and blue light shot from the pit and enveloped the boy.

The two ninja were attempting to ignore this, heading straight for Sasuke, who was staring at the pillar of light.

They would have had him too, if it had not been for Kakashi who jumped out from the trees and knocked the two away. He to, was watching the pillar.

The light suddenly stopped, and Naruto fell to the ground. When he hit, a sound like shattering glass filled the area. He lay on the ground facing up, his shirt nowhere to be seen. On his stomach was a cracked seal. It pulsed once before exploding, sending the pieces across his body where they disappeared. On his right bicep was a tattoo. Nine tails spiralling out from the centre. Three blue tails, three brown tails, two red tails, and one tail that was rapidly filling with red.

Kakashi looked on with dread. The seal that just exploded was the one that held Kyuubi. He hoped that he wouldn't have to kill one of the students on the first team that he had ever passed. But he would if he had to.

Naruto doubled up and started shaking, or was that the ground around him. He stopped. Just like that.

There was a flash of red light around the boy, and he was no longer standing there. But a four foot tall Kyuubi was.

Kakashi rushed forward to attack it before it could get its bearings, but was stopped when a five foot long sword thudded into the ground right in front of him. And slowly starting sinking into it.

Kyuubi opened his eyes and looked around, his eyes lingering on each one of Team 7 for a moment before moving on. When he came to the two downed shinobi, everyone on Team 7 was shocked to see its eyes widen and a foxy grin appear on its face. A deep grown came from his mouth as he chuckled, making the shinobi present almost wet themselves; "So this is where he sent me. Just perfect." It glared at the two; "Hello, Demon Brothers. Here to assassinate a poor bridge builder are we? I'm sorry but I can't allow that." a tail whipped out from behind him to wrap around the twins.

Kakashi moved to stop him, but thought better of it; "Na- err... Kyuubi, please don't kill them, let us take them back to Konoha for interrogation. Please."

Kyuubi grinned at him; "I had no intention of killing them. Just making sure they can't get away." he said as he retracted his tails. "There all yours now. Later." the kitsune dashed off into the forest surrounding them.

The shock of seeing the fox finally wore off on the two remaining genin. "Kakashi you're alive!" yelled Sakura.

Sasuke Hn-ed before glaring at him; "That was Kyuubi wasn't it. What was he doing here, wasn't he supposed to be dead?"

Kakashi sighed; "The only one that would know anything about it isn’t here anymore." he indicated the spot where Naruto had fallen, "Him or the Hokage. I can't say anything other than that."

Just then a loud crashing was heard coming from the direction opposite that the Kyuubi left. And out from the underbrush popped a scratched up Naruto. He was still missing his shirt, giving all present a good view of his well toned muscles. He groaned; "What happened?"

Kakashi gave him a glare, to which he responded with a knowing smile. Sasuke just muttered; "Dobe." and turning the other way, while Sakura proceeded to beat him up, not noticing that she wasn't landing any hits.

"Where were you!?" she screeched, "We were attacked by ninjas and the Kyuubi showed up, and all you have to say is what happened!?"

Naruto dodged behind Kakashi muttering apologies.

When everyone settled down, Kakashi gave Naruto a stern look; "You and I need to talk."

Naruto nodded; "Later."

Kakashi went to go talk to Tazuna. "Those were Hidden Mist chuunins." he turned to them; "You should know better than to hide in a puddle when it hasn't rained for days." back to Tazuna. "What were they after you for? This mission is at least B-rank now. It was supposed to be a simple protection until you completed the bridge." Tazuna looked down. "You probably had your reasons, but it causes problems when you lie about the mission. We're now outside of our duties."

Naruto snuck up behind Kakashi; "Don't even think of ending the mission right now. If you do, I'll go on without you." he smirked at him and whispered in his ear; "You know you can't stop me."

Kakashi shivered. "But what about you Naruto? We have to fix your problem."

Naruto snickered; "What problem? I don't know what you're talking about."

"Ok then. Fine, we continue."

Sakura pouted, she didn't want to go on. If they ran into anyone else they would be done for. And what if the Kyuubi came back? Wait, didn't Kakashi say that Naruto knew something about it?

Sasuke smirked. This was perfect. He would get more chances to strengthen him self. He would defeat that man. But what about Kyuubi? Not even Itachi could go up against that thing. Didn't Naruto know something about it?

"Hey, Naruto!" came two voices at the same time.

Naruto turned to them after finishing a jutsu that replaced his cloths. He was now wearing dark green pants and a black shirt. Over them he wore the cloak that he had gotten from the alchemists. "Yeah?"

Sasuke beat Sakura this time, slowly approaching Naruto; "What do you know about Kyuubi?"


A.N: that's it for this chapter. check back next time for the rest of the wave mission. it should be interesting, Naruto having mastery of Suiton as well as the Onimetsuki. When will he figure out that his Nine-tails seal is complete? Find out next chapter in Henzuru!

Oh and this is for those of you that didn’t understand the whole Shiki Fuujin scene.

The rules of the Shiki Fuujin:

Rule One: the jutsu must be used on a demon, or incarnate of evil
Rule Two: the chakra given must be equal to that of the sealed being’s power
Rule Three: if it is not possible, your life and soul will be forfeit
Rule Four: if your life is taken by death, he will assign you your fate
Rule Five: Demon Lords will not be killed
Rule Six: To seal a Demon Lord, your life and soul will be forfeit
Rule Seven: The Demon Lord must be placed in a container
Rule Eight: The container must be a newborn child from the user’s family
Rule Nine: Nothing, human or demon, can be sealed twice. An alternate fate will become of the container. If it has merged the same rule applies, it has already been sealed before.


From PhiloWorm:
FIC SLAYR: I made the demon jutsus have some sort of weaknes on purpose because I belive that nothing can be all powerful and use non-escapable attacks that way. As you can see all the demon jutsus have their own weak points and is avoidable to some degree. But first of all you must remeber that Kit only put 1/25 of his chackra in the attacks, the full power version is MUCH more dangerus and powerful. The weakness of the demon jutsus will also be explained soon if i have it my way so just be patient.
GOZEN V: If you reread the earlier chapters you will see that Naruto always have had nine tails, it's his fusion seal that lacks the last "tail" due to his lack of mastery over the fire element. And if you want Naruto on 100 power this chapter will be perfect for you. I must say taht it's not realy my place to comment on the lack of suspense and humor in this fic but I'll talk it over with Taggerung and we'll see if improvments can be made.
