A New Style of Fighting-----------------------------------------

“Narut o, I heard from Sauske that there have been great advances in your training, and in so little time. You have a wonderful knack for your father's jutsus and techniques. I’m sure that if he could see you now, he would be very proud of what you have accomplished.”Jiraiya spoke as he and Naruto walked through the darkening streets of Konoha.

“Thank you Jiraiya-sama….for everything.” Naruto replied. Then turning Naruto rushed over to a shop. Buying two fried squid he returned handing one to Jiraiya.

“What. Now don’t you go all sentimental on me. You’re the future hokage of the Hidden Leaf, you have no time to waste with sentimentality for the little things I have done, especially after I withheld the fact that you were Arashi’s son. If anything you should hate me.” Jiraiya said as he took a bite out of his squid.

“Jiraiya-sama I know that you withheld it for your own reasons, whether to keep the promise made to my father or not. I can live with that knowledge, and continue as his son.” Naruto spoke the words calmly. He had accepted the fact a few minutes after Jiraiya had told him that he had been withholding information regarding his heritage. Shrugging Naruto continued. “Anyways after Sakura and Sauske left I was able to master the Multiplying Shuriken, an then I took it a step further by combining the two jutsus, that composed it and the Invisible Kunai. Now when I throw the kunai they multiply just like the shuriken, and the shuriken are now invisible to the human eye. My father truly was one of Konoha’s greatest Ninjas.” Naruto said beaming. Then taking a bite out of his own squid he chewed happily.

The two walked a while longer before Naruto found a spot on a grassy field. Sighing he sat down. Then reaching into his pocket he pulled out a scroll. Unrolling the scroll Naruto eyes scanned the page.

“And you truly are his son, I also see that you have begun reading the scroll on the use of the Element Blade.” Jiraiya said as he motioned towards the open scroll lying across Naruto’s lap.

“Aye, yeah. I thought if I start from the one my father said was the hardest then, all the others should be easy to master." “So what was it that you wanted to talk to me about???”

“Well Naruto seeming that you will most likely be replacing Tsunade as the Hokage soon, we thought that you had a right to know what’s going on. While we were away a new Ninja Country was formed, they use an art that is similar to that of Shalimar’s clan...however they have advanced their teachings far beyond the level that they currently practice. They called their county the Shadow Country, and its ninja village is Legoha The village shrouded in Shadow. What’s more, it seems that their Head ninja which they call the Shadakage, has refused to accept contact from any of the other ninja villages. And what’s even more startling, is the fact that a week before our return they sent highly skilled Anbu to steal the scrolls that hold the information on Orochimaru’s forbidden jutsus.” “So we need you to master the weapons and the jutsus your father left for you as quickly as possible. Once you have done this we will let you have access to the Hokage scrolls and their teachings.”

Naruto sat in a stilled silence for a few minutes before he found is voice. “I’m going to replace Tsunade as the hokage soon?” Beaming Naruto thought about that. But then the rest of the information he was just given sunk in as well. “Another Ninja country.” He said his eyebrows furrowed as he thought of what that met. “So it might come down to war soon.” Sighing Naruto let his face become neutral once again. “Well that’s good cause I only have three weapons left, and once I master them I can combined their jutsu structures together and create weapons that my father himself would be proud of.” Naruto said. Then standing Jiraiya noticed that Naruto looked like he was resonating light. ‘Must be my imagination.’ Jiraiya thought as he looked at Naruto and this time saw no light resonating from his body.


“Oh?. Well then Naruto I'll ask how you managed to combine the jutsus of the multiplying shuriken an the invisible kunai??” asked Jiraiya.

“Through blood.” Naruto replied calmly.

“WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!” “WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "THROUGH BLOOD"?” Jiraiya shouted as he reached out and smacked Naruto over the head. "Don't joke about things like that Naruto."

“OUCH!!!!" Naruto shouted as he felt the blow rattle his skull a little. “What the hell Jiraiya. It wasn't a joke. If you would have let me continue I would have explained that in more detail. I have to force some of my chakra into a droplet of blood, then allow that droplet to land on the weapons blade. Once this is done I use the jutsu that I am adding to the weapon, and finally I seal it with one of our families secret seals.” Then shaking his head Naruto continued. “It was pretty easy to tell you the truth, the hardest part was deciphering what my father ment by “Through blood and a sacrifice of will” ”

"What did he mean by that Naruto? What sacrifice??" Inquired Jiraiya. He felt bad about thinking it was a joke. But Naruto had said in such a sketchy way that he had to assume that it was one.

"Well the thing is...every time I do it, I am forced to lose the will to live as the price. So each time I combine jutsus, I have to battle against the idea of taking my own life while at the same time concentrate on placing the seal and jutsu onto the weapon.” Then getting to his feet Naruto continued. "My father built the jutsu so that anyone who was trying to tamper with his weapons or unlock their secrets would take their own life.

“Naruto……” Jiraiya said in awe as he looked at his pupil.

'What was the fourth thinking when he composed that jutsu????' Thought Jiraiya as he watched Naruto reach for the Element Sword hanging around his back.

“Alright well if you will excuse me Jiraiya-sama I have to go train with this. After all, the sooner I master this one the sooner I can move onto the others.” Naruto said.

And before Jiraiya could reply Naruto was gone, vanished as if he were a ghost.

'That man sure has come a long way from when we first met,' Jiraiya thought. And as he stood there thinking about the old times a smile slowly worked its way across his face.
'Naruto, everyday you surprise me with something new. What will your story be written like I wonder?'



Naruto reappeared into the night air a few miles outside of Konoha, in the Mountain ranges of Konoha.

'Well I'd better get to work,' he thought as he unsealed the sheath of the Element Blade. 'Alright I need to test cut to see the reaction I will get,' Naruto thought as he slowly raised the sword above his head.

'I'll cut the walls around here until I get the hang of it.'

And after raising his hands to the high guard, he violently brought the blade down and into the side of the mountain. All at once the mountain began to shake, and as Naruto stood in wonder he watched the most amazing thing he had ever seen unfold. His sword began to glow, and burn hotter and hotter.

"Ouch!!! What the hell!" Naruto shouted as the sword burned his hand. Letting go, Naruto leapt backwards away from the sword. When he felt he was a safe distance away Naruto looked down at his burnt hands. However just as he was preparing to heal his burns, Naruto's eyes were suddenly blinded by a burst of multi coloured light. As it burst forth from the sword Naruto watched as the light separated and spread out. As each light dimmed in its place a Ninja stood. As Naruto watched in astonishment seven ninjas, all wearing a different type of armour appeared in replace of the light. The first, wore blood red armour with jagged spikes protruding from his shoulders, and on the center of his chest was a burning flame. The next, wore armour black as night and looked like a standing shadow for all you could see of him. The third, looked clear and translucent like mist, yet they also had the look of a flowing stream. The fourth, looked like the most regular, he wore armour similar to Naruto's Anbu uniform in color, but where Naruto’s was black his was brown. The fifth, looked like a blurred photograph, Naruto was unable to make out any features of this one, except that he was sparking and cause thunder to sound every time he moved. The sixth, wore blinding white armour that hurt Naruto’s eyes to stare at it for more that a few seconds, and finally the last, remained totally invisible except for the armour he wore around himself, the traditional shinobi armour. They stood there in silence for a few moments before the first of the seven spoke.

“You who have summoned us, the great Ninja spirits of Konoha!! You have brought us out of our eighteen year slumber for what purpose!!!?” Shouted the ninja dressed in crimson armour.

'Jeese he sounds pissed,' though Naruto as he stood in awe of what seemed to be the Ninja Spirits of Konoha. 'Better answer him before he get even more pissed.'

“My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I’m not really sure why I summoned you to tell you the truth. My father Arashi Uzumaki left me the Uzumaki bloodline and the Element Sword was one of the items he bestowed upon me. I only swung the sword into that rock over there where your standing in front of and all of a sudden you guys are standing there. So WHO exactly are YOU?? AND why were you in that sword??” Naruto asked, pointing towards the elemental blade that was sticking into the mountain.

“Why you insolent boy, how dare you talk to the Great Salamander in such a tone, I should burn you to nothing but a cinder for….” Shouted Salamander as the fire on his chest flared.

“Oh common Salamander the man obviously doesn’t know who we are. There is no need for you to get all bent out of shape.” Cut in translucent ninja.

Salamander hearing this turned to face the speaker.

“You are one to talk Leviathan! You have always been picking fights with me, ever since we were first sealed into the land, and then into this sword.” Salamander shouted, and Naruto watched as the air around him bursting in to flames as he spoke.

“He’s right you know Leviathan,“ spoke the ninja who looked like nothing more than a shadow. His voice sent spasms of shivers coursing through Naruto. It felt like with every word this person spoke Naruto’s life was cut a year.

Turning Leviathan spoke to this new speaker. “Oh not you too Sin”

“But he does make a good point, you always seem to be fighting about something, but then again so do Electo And I.” spoke the ninja in brown, in a gravely voice.

“Damned straight Rock. You and I can never get along no matter how hard we try." spoke the blurred ninja. Above Naruto lightning forked in the sky and thunder sounded. Rock who looked the most normal of all remained silent at this.

“Would you all just shut up for a second,” spoke the blinding white Ninja, who now that Naruto had heard her voice, could tell she was a girl

“Oh stuff it will you Shimmer! Jeese you almost as annoying as Leviathan over here.” Shouted Salamander as he turned and threw a fireball at Shimmer. It clashed, midair with the shimmering orb that Shimmer had thrown after it suddenly appeared in her hand..

“What was that Salamander!!!!” Shimmer cried and the area around her shone so brilliantly that Naruto had to shield his eyes.

“You heard me you shinning freak.” replied Salamander as he launched another fireball. However this time a bust of wind so strong that Naruto was send tumbling backwards stopped the fire ball.

"Ha!!! You can't even...." What ever Shimmer was about to say was cut off by a loud and thunderous voice that seemed to come from all around Naruto.

“ENOUGH!!! The boy does not understand who we are and you continue to confuse him by bickering amongst yourselves.”

Now the Ninja who was invisible stepped forward. Naruto still sitting on his ass scurried flinched as the invisible ninja moved closer.

“Hahahahahaha do we frighten you young man? We are ancient spirits who command the elements, nothing more. “ spoke the loud voice once again seeming to come from everywhere and nowhere. Turning Naruto saw the ninja's gloved hand point towards The ninja with crimson armour. " Salamander over there, is the spirit of flame. Leviathan, of water. Sin, of shadows. Rock, of the earth. Shimmer, of the light. Electo, of lightning." Then pointing to himself he continued. "And I Silence, am the spirit of the wind. We have served Konoha for thousands of years, and will continue to do so until the end of time. We were entrusted to the Uzumaki Clan when the Village hidden in the Leaves was first established and we will continue to server under those who carry the Uzumaki blood. For you to have released the seal we know you must be of Uzumaki bloodline. Speak, tell us your name.”

“Naruto…My name is Uzumaki Naruto.” replied a rattled Naruto. Then getting to his feat he continued. "Wait you guys are HOW OLD!?!?"

Laughing six of the ninja's sniggered at this comment. Silence however, continued on as if he had not heard the question.

"Train well young Uzumaki Naruto, we will meet again the next time you call us forth." Turning it seemed that he was about to leave before he turned. "However you can call us singled out as well. All you have to do is shout one of our names and swing the sword and we shall appear. To call us all forth you simply have to shout the Seven while the sword is unsheathed. Until we meet once more. Good-bye.”

And with that, The sword began to glow once more. And as Naruto watched all the ninja’s once again turned into a coloured light and then went flying back towards the sword. Then in another burst of blinding light they re-entered the sword, and were gone. As Naruto stared shocked at what he just heard he looked to see the sword glowing with what he knew were the spirits of the seven. Slowly, unsure of whether or not he was safe, Naruto reached forward and grasped the sword's handle. Then just as carefully, he re-sheathed it into its case. The second the sword was re-sheathed the glow dimmed and then died, and Naruto was able to let out a sigh or relief before he passed out from sheer mental exhaustion. The last though that came to him as he started to pass out was, 'I have a feeling things are gonna be really strange from now on.'

Falling to the ground Naruto hit like a rock and slept.
