A Looming Threat------------------------------------------

Upon his arrival with the final two prisoners Naruto decided to search out Sauske. He knew that he would want to know of the incident that had just taken place between himself and the final shadow ninja. But Naruto also knew that Sauske had just learned that part of his sole reason for living and training so hard had just died. Naruto had informed him personally after he had walked through the memory of one of the captured shadow ninjas.

‘Hmm how do I go about trying to talk with Sauske right now? He so un-nerved at hearing his brother is dead that even the slightest mention of Itachi will set him off. So how do I remind him of what he was trying to accomplish before I relayed the new to him???’ Naruto sat pondering this problem for a moment before he decided on an answer.

‘I just won’t tell him. I told him that I planned on training non-stop until we're at the brink of war, or if Tsunade retired. She set her retirement date for two weeks from now but…That’s means that before she retires, will be the time these ninja strike and try to invade Konoha. So in the meantime I must do everything in my power to become stronger. I don’t know how strong the Shadakage is, but As the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf, I will not let thee people of the village come to any harm.’ Naruto thought.

Then turning Naruto headed back in the Ibiki’s direction as he gave the last of the captured ninjas to his best interrogators.

“Ibiki. Might I have a word.” Naruto questioned.

“Naruto…I mean Six hokage, how may serve you??” Ibiki answered bowing low in respect to the village’s newest Hokage.

“I am not the Hokage officially until Tsunade retires in two weeks, however I thank you for the considerate approach. I need to take off the next two weeks from any missions. I’m going to seclude myself for the two weeks and do nothing but train non-stop. I have many new skills to hone and I want them prepared for when we have to go to war.” Naruto said as he looked out at the sky. Then staring with a fixed gaze Naruto stood and waited for Ibiki’s answer.

“Very well Naruto you have the allotted time off. But how will we know how to contact you in the event of an invasion??” Ibiki questioned uncertain of Naruto’s decision to leave.

“As to that matter I have set Sakura, Sauske, Kakashi, Neji, Gai, and Shikiamru with the task of watching the entrances that we can and can’t see into the village. If they find anything out of the ordinary each has been given one of the special kunai that my father used to use. Now I want those six mentioned to also be released from there duties for the next two weeks so that they may fulfil my request. Do you find any problems with that??” Naruto asked again. Watching Ibiki’s face Naruto saw his eyes narrow and a grimace replace his regular neutral face.

“They are our best soldiers...but no Naruto I do not. I take it that Sauske and the others have been informed of their task.” Ibiki questioned.

“Yes I sent Sauske with the kunai and my instructions to those I just mentioned. Each night at exactly 1 am, I will appear here and stand in front of the Uzumaki estate. One of the six will be meeting me to give me a status report.” Naruto replied.

“Very well, Naruto. Good luck.” And after being dismissed Naruto once again disappeared, flickering to his room.

Upon arrival Naruto immediately headed towards the chest that contained his inheritance the other sacred items that had been entrusted to him. Picking it up Naruto Flickered up to the Konoha mountains,. And after placing a clone to guard it, flickered back to his room in the Uzumaki estate, retrieved some food, and water purification pills and then once again flickered back into the Konoha Mountains.


'Alright It’s time to get started,’ thought Naruto as he opened the chest containing his inheritance. Reaching inside ,Naruto withdrew three of the scrolls that had been presented to him when Tsunade had told him that he would succeed her. Sitting down after retrieving them, he unrolled the first and began to read.

‘’’Water Style Ultimate Techniques

Raging Waterfall: A jutsu which creates a pummelling waterfall out of no where, and then thrashes it all over the place drowning the opponent and slamming them into solid surfaces. The attack requires a high amount of chakra to be performed. Hand signs: Dog, Bird, Boar, Snake, Dragon, Dog, Rat.

The dragon can freely change shape and size depending on the users will ,and there foe can avoid and counter almost any attack sent towards it. Hand signs: Dog, Bird, Boar, Rat, Snake, Dragon, Tiger, Snake, Dragon, Dragon.’’’

‘Alright well I know all of those already, so I guess I’ll move on to the next scroll,’ thought Naruto as he carefully re-rolled the scroll, and once again stored it into his chest. Then unrolling the Lightning scroll Naruto once again began to read.

‘’’ Lightning Style Ultimate Techniques

Heavenly Lightning Strike: A jutsu which summons forth lightning from the heavens. The jutsu controller can bring forth as many as two hundred bolts down at once. This is a very dangerous and devastating jutsu, that if the user is careless may backfire and strike himself with the lightning he is calling forth. Hand signs: Tiger, Monkey, Boar, Ram, Rat, Tiger, Horse, Ox.

Thor’ Hammer: A jutsu that summons a huge lightning bolt, that descends in the shape of a massive Hammer.

One Million Volts: A jutsu that charges its users body with an electrical current. Though harmless to the user his body being charged with one milling volts is deadly to anyone or anything h happens to touch while it is in use. Hands signs: Dog, Monkey, Rat, Tiger, Boar, Tiger, Snake.

Ultimate Technique: Energy Redistribution: A technique so devastating it was forbidden to use of any other person other than the hokage. Energy redistribution, allows the user full control of all the energy surrounding his or her self in a twenty meter radius. Within that twenty meters the user of the jutsu can stop the electrical current and manipulate it at there whim. It is very dangerous. The unstable energy can sometimes reverse or enhance the gravitational pull that the user feels. If the latter occurs the user is crushed into the ground with a force of one tons. If the earlier, they float up into the air at a speed of 20 meters per second. If either of the following occur immediately break the jutsu. Do NOT continue with the jutsu. Hand signs: Rat, Dog, Boar, Snake, Dragon, Boar, Tiger, Snake, Rat.’’’

‘Hmm, well that sound interesting. I knew the other seven jutsu but this final one is one I have never heard of before. And Not even Jiraiya knew it because it strictly taught to only the Hokage. Wow this must be some jutsu. I think I’ll try it out later.’ ‘First I have to see what fire, and wind based jutsus are hidden in there scrolls.’ thought Naruto as he re-rolled the lightning scroll and placed it back into his box. Then retrieving the final two scrolls Naruto sat back on the ground and began to unroll the fire scroll. But as he was doing so His sword began to shake and quiver, and on its own accord shone with a searing grey light. AS the light dimmed and Naruto was once again able to see, he was surprised to find Salamander and Leviathan were standing in front of him arguing.

“You wretched, flaming hideaway. What gives you the right to speak to me like that. I didn’t lose to Naruto in a one on one fight like you did.” Leviathan taunted as Salamander dove at him.

“SHUT UP!!! Naruto Uzumaki surprised me that was all. In a proper fight I would burn hum to cinders.” Salamander screamed as he launched fireball after fireball towards Leviathan who batter them away.

“Burn who to cinders? Jeese you guys are noisy, what's all this about anyways?? Why and how have you come from the sword without me calling you. I thought you guys had to stay in there until I needed you?” Naruto asked as he stood up and stepped towards the pair.

“Ah but you are wrong there…Naruto. We can travel anywhere we please as long as we remain close to you, the owner of the blade.” Responded a sinister voice from the shadow next to Naruto’s foot. Startled Naruto let out a yelp and jumped back.

“Sin?? What are you doing out as well…I guess you wanted to enjoy the night air or something?” Naruto said as the familiar shadowed body started to climb out of the shadow around Naruto.

“That is indeed why I have let myself from the sword this evening, however I was also hoping to witness a good brawl. You see Leviathan over there heard Salamander got beaten by you today, and has been going on about it ever since. I swear if its not one headache its another.” “Salamander has slowly been letting his rage build over the day and now he has decided to finally let it lose. If I were you, I would hide, because if he spots you all that anger and resentment over the lost to you earlier today will boil over and out of him. And if that happens then I’m afraid I won’t be able to intervene. You see I rather like not being a pile of ash blowing in the wind and therefore will not chance it happening.” Sin said casually as he watched Leviathan return a volley of icicle chunks towards Salamander. They melted before they even reached him however.

“TOO LATE FOR THAT!!!!! Salamander snarled as he pointed a finger towards Naruto. “BOY, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A FIGHT!!!”

And without waiting for Naruto to reply he began forming hand signs even faster then Naruto had seen him do before. Before Naruto even had a chance to try to begin to counter he heard Salamander shout.

“SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!” and with a massive burst of smoke twenty new Salamanders stood before Naruto.

“Salamander you can’t be serious!?!? You aren’t planning no hitting him with that concentration of jutsu are you?!?!!! ARE YOU?!?!?!?!” shouted Leviathan, totally backing off and rushing to a safer distance.

But even as Leviathan was shouting Salamander, and all of his clones were forming seals again. About half way through Naruto recognized the pattern.

‘YOUR KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!! He plans on releasing that many Hell Dragons on ME!!!!!! Jeese And I was hoping I was gonna be able to rest for the rest of the night.’ thought Naruto as Salamander finished forming hand signs and with a cry of pure rage shouted. “FLAME DRAGONS OF HELL!!!!”

At once the ground began to rumble as though it was being struck by a massive earth quake then with a ear shattering *CRACK* the earth that Naruto had been standing on broke apart. And the Dragons of Hell were released. Naruto sensed the bloodlust from the creatures who he had evaded earlier that day. Now that they saw it was him, they were ready to tear him from limb from limb in seconds.

“GO AND BURN THE FLESH FROM HIS BONES!!” cried the deranged Salamandesr as they sent their one hundred and twenty hell dragons straight for Naruto. Naruto dodged to the left as two of the hell dragons demolished the place where he had been standing moments ago. Then quickly diving backwards and springing off the canyon wall Naruto was just barley able to dodge another ten of the dragons as they dove after him fanged teeth bared. Sensing Naruto was just going to keep evading them the Hell Dragons as one all released their deadly black fire towards Naruto.

‘Shit I can’t dodge that!!! And I don’t Have enough time to wrap my self in chakra as I did last time…NO I WILL NOT DIE AT THE HANDS OF A SENILE MILLION YEAR OLD SPIRIT!!!!” Naruto shouted.

Then bellowing in anger, Naruto tapped into the massive storage of chakra he had contained in the demon fox’s sleeping form. His voice filled with a massive wave of chakra, blew with such force that it sent the wave of flames back at the hell dragons who had fired them and the owner s that commanded the creatures. With cries and hisses the dragons were engulfed in their own burning breath as were there masters. All around Naruto Salamanders were bursting into plumes of smoke.. Naruto breathing heavily saw that the only remaining Salamander was laying on the ground, the flame in his chest had all but dwindled to nothing more than a spark.

“Your almost out of chakra Salamander. Are you sure you want to continue a fight with me?? I could kill you now. I have an unsustainable amount of chakra and could keep going for the next three weeks if I had to. But I would rather not. Right now all I want to do is read the scrolls that were left in my possession, and if possible rest. Please return to the sword and leave me lone for the night. Tomorrow when your feeling better I would like to have a word with you about out fights today.” Naruto said calmly as he allowed his own massive amount of chakra to course back into him, and slowly dwindle to his regular amount. Then sinking to his knees from exhaustion Naruto sighed.

Salamander who lay collapsed on the ground was picked up and retrieved by a stunned Leviathan.

“Y..you beat him??? You were able to beat him??? EVEN THOUGH HE WAS LIKE THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO BEAT HIM!?!?! What kind of monster are you???” Leviathan shouted looking from Naruto to the stilled form of Salamander now resting in his arms.

“I’m not a monster, I only house a sleeping one within me as I’m sure Silence has already told you.” Naruto once again replied calmly. Then shaking his head he continued. “Leviathan, you are not to bug Salamander about his loss to me. That is of course unless you want to fight me and try to defeat me. You could feel the same dawning sense he did when he first summoned the hell dragons, when I first defeated him.”

“N…No that’s quite all right. I don’t feel like having my ass kicked around. But I understand. No more making fun of him for losing to you. You are a constant surprise Naruto Uzumaki. One day I would love to see you fight with all of your power.” And then with a blinding flash of blue light Leviathan was gone, and with him Salamander.

“That was most impressive Naruto.” came a quite voice from beside his ear.

Startled again at hearing Sins voice Naruto flipped on to both feet, before he realized it was only Sin and collapsed once again to the ground.

"Sin you really got to stop startling me like that. Can’t you come out and talk to me in person, rather than hide in the shadows and whisper. Its really creepy.” Naruto complained as he fell back onto his back and stared up at the stars.

“Alright.” And seconds later the a shadow in the shape of a man walked out of the wall beside Naruto. Then turning it spoke.

“I am amazed you actually survived. You even were able to beat Salamander even though he was enraged. Not even I could do that. I think the only one who could do it besides from yourself is possibly Silence. Now Naruto, it has come to my attention that you are being targeted for assassination by a league of Shadow Ninja. Their Shadakage is nothing more than a joke. A truly more sinister being lies behind the scenes tugging the strings. Beware this fact Naruto.” Then turning to leqve Sin stoped and looked Naruto over carefully. “I could teach you every jutsu I know in regards to shadow jutsu. But I must warn you that the jutsus are sinister by nature as am I.” He said casually like he was simply asking Naruto out for a walk.

“Really you’d teach me everything you knew. How long do you think it would take if I replicated and mastered each jutsu in one try?” Naruto questioned stunned at being offered the chance to learn new jutsus.

“OH about fourteen hours. But I highly doubt that you will be able to do so. Therefore I predict that you will take at least an entire day to learn all my jutsus.” Sin replied.

“I don’t believe how little faith you have in me. I am the hokage now after all. I swear to you that I will master every jutsu you have in less then eight hours.” Naruto said full of exhilaration. Then getting to his feet Naruto pumped his fist in the air.

“OH and how are you going to accomplish that???” Sin inquired questioningly.

Naruto hearing this smiled, and replied. “Using a technique that I was taught by my sensei Kakashi. You just watch. I will master every one of your jutsus in less then eight hours.”

“Well if you wish to try to do the impossible by all means. Though I find it rather insulting that you suggest to me that you will master all of my jutsu in eight hours or less. No matter you shall not be able to accomplish it, and when you fail I will be there to laugh in your face.” Sin said then shaking his head he continued. “Now are we prepared?”

“Shadow clone jutsu.” Naruto shouted, and then in a large puff of smoke four more Narutos stood beside the original.

“I don’t see how a couple of clones will help you master my jutsus, but if it tickles your fancy then by all means create more.” Sin said as he looked at Naruto with ease.

“No four will do. That’ll make it five if I count myself. Now I want you to explain to me what the first jutsu is.” Naruto replied.

“Very well. The first of my many jutsu is called “Shadow Movement“. “the jutsu allows the user to conceal himself in any shadow as long as its close to him while performing the jutsu. There hand signs needed to perform it are Rat, Dog, Bird, Snake. Now let us see you do it Naruto.” Sin said as he backed away.

So each of the clones formed the hand signs and began to sink into their own shadow. Laughing to himself Naruto let them sink all the way down into their shadows before releasing his clone jutsu.

“Ok so now what??” Naruto asked.

“I’m sorry Naruto but it was your clones and not you who were able to preform the jutsu, I have to see you do it before I move onto the next.” Sin said sceptically.

Signing Naruto formed the hands signs so fast, that if Sin had blinked even once he would have missed it happen. Then Naruto was gone and appearing out of Sin's own body. Stepping out of Sin's chest Naruto walked back to his original position and turned to face his teacher.

“So what’s next?” Naruto asked again, as he created four clones and had them stand beside himself.

"My you are a fast learner. Alright the next is the shadow bind. It locks the users shadow to your own allow me to demonstrate." But as Sin tried to mover he found himself stuck to the ground. Startled he looked up to see his own shadowed body had been attached to Naruto.

‘When did he…’ “Ah I see you already know this one, well tell me what shadow jutsu you do know and we will move on from there.” Sin said in a strained voice.

And so Naruto counted them off to the startled Sin, The boy already knew all the basic shadow jutsus by watching and mimicking his friend Shikiamru.

“That cuts away twelve or so of the eighteen I have to teach you.” Sin replied as Naruto finished counting them off. “Well that does save you some trouble…And at the rate your going you already knew the Shadow Movement jutsu it take it.”

“No actually that one I didn’t know. Shikiamru only knew ten basic shadow jutsus or so. And all I know of shadow jutsu is what I learned from him.” Naruto replied a little confused.

“If what you say is true how did you figure out that you could come out of any shadow around you then??? It is complete darkness down there,. How were you able to differentiate between my own body, and your original shadow???” Sin questioned curiously.

“The clones.” Naruto replied pointing ot the four shadow clones standing beside himself.

“The clones??? What do you mean the clones? You released their jutsu before any of them could resurface.” Sin replied.

“That doesn’t mean I never learned what they learned while down there. Whatever experience a clone has., when the jutsu id released is transferred back to its original owner. I use it to judge the battle strength and tactics of my opponents.” “But when I was training with Kakashi, I had to create a massive amount of clones to learn the training he was trying to teach me. It was elemental chakra manipulation. I first had to master using wind chakra, and then I had to add it into my resengan. My fathers jutsu was incomplete when he died. I completed it along with many of his other jutsus while I trained with Jiraiya for two years.” “Now can we please get back to the training. I think your stalling so I don’t master your jutsus in less then eight hours.” Naruto said jokingly.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA you are full of surprises Naruto. The clones act as a learning tool for you do the? Well that’s the first time I have seen a person use their clones to learn something for them. So for every jutsu I explained you gain five times the knowledge you would if you didn’t have the clones. Amusing, very amusing. I know that you will have mastered all but one of them in the next hour so I might as well get it over with. To think you had that kind of ingenuity. HAHAHAHA.” Sin said laughing at Naruto’s cunning.

And so as Sin predicted Naruto quickly learned the rest of his jutsu inside of an hour. But the final jutsu proved to be a bit trickier.

“Naruto this last jutsu is the ultimate shadow jutsu. It combines all of your previous knowledge on shadow manipulation that you have just learned. This jutsu in itself causes an eclipse to take place. With the eclipse comes a death god…a shigami. Now the death god will ask you a riddle if you get it right he will allow you to summon him forth and he will do your bidding. However if you get the riddle wrong, then he takes your soul and drags it with him down o hell.” Sin explained as he watched Naruto unwrap the shadow’s from around himself. ‘The man is good. He has mastered all but this final task. But no one has ever answered the Shigami’s riddle.’

“Really well I kinda like my soul so I think I’ll get the question right thanks.” Naruto said casually as he started to re-create the four clones.

“Naruto your shadow clone jutsu will not suffice here. This is a test for you and you alone. If they fail it then the shigami will rip out the originals soul and drag it down to hell. The clones will vanish and you will die. Naruto this is no joke. Are you sure you want me to teach you the hand signs for this jutsu knowing full well the risk you take using it.” Sin asked knowing full well what Naruto’s reply would be.

“Yes.” Naruto replied.

“Very well. The hand signs for Death under an Eclipse are : Boar, Snake, Dragon, Rat, Horse, Snake, Dragon, Dog, Snake. Good luck.” Sin said as he stepped back and waited to see whether or not Naruto would risk everything.

As Naruto formed the hand signs warning bells were screaming off in his head. He ignored them and continued until finally he formed the final sign. Then picturing the shadows rising and wrapping themselves around the moon he shouted. “Death under the eclipse!“ All at once the moon began to eclipse, and Naruto heard a sound like a scream, followed by maniacal laughter. The cackling got louder and louder until finally the death god rose from the shadows. It glowed in an eerie yellow light, and had jagged teeth. It wore a cloak that was dripping with blood and carried glowing face in the it‘s hand. The face was that of a young man, and it was screaming in agony and fear.. Then in a rasping voice it spoke. “Another one tonight. How interesting will you be the other soul to come with me tonight back to hell?”

“No I shall not.” Naruto replied calmly.

“Well that depends. If you can answer my riddle you can keep your soul and I will admit you outsmarted death, this means of course that you may summon me at anytime as you will then be master over it. But if you get the riddle wrong I’m going to reach my hand into your chest and tear out your soul. It will be painful, oh yes it will be painful.” “Do you still think you can answer my riddle. In all of my thousand year life, only one has ever managed to answer my riddle correctly.” the shigami said in his low raspy voice.

“Yes I fear not death.” Naruto replied.

“That is not wise to say, but I see the truth sparkle in your eyes. Very well your riddle stands as thus:
The person who makes it sells it. The person who buys it gives it away. The person who’s using never knows he’s using it. What is IT???”

‘Hmm well it cant be air or anything with material value. It has to be an item that after it is bought is given away. Well that rules out lots of things. The last part of the riddle is the truly tricky part. The person who’s using it doesn’t know there using it…What on earth could that be. It might have something to revolve around death, but that would be to simple. On the other hand he is a death god, and he knows about nothing but death. So nothing besides from the dead don’t know they’re using something…. So what do the dead use……I’ve got it!!’ Naruto thought as he tried to ponder out the meaning to the Shigami’s words.

“A coffin.” Naruto replied, hoping that this was the answer for the riddle. If not he would be sent spiralling into everlasting torment in hell.

“WHAT??? NO!!! The shigami screamed. “Only one other person has ever been able to answer that riddle. And he was the Sinister being from which all shadow chakra derived. How could a mere mortal answer my question so easily. It took you a minute to think it out.”

Letting out a sigh of relief Naruto explained. “Well I made a connection with you. You as a death god would relate something to death. Because death is all you have known for your entire existence. And it was the fact that in the riddle, the person who used it didn’t know he used it…that allowed me to figure out that it was a coffin. Only the dead lay in coffins and they never know there using them. They’re dead and can’t possible know that they are lying a coffin somewhere.”

“Fine, just as Sin the being I derived from, you have answered my unsolvable riddle. You have outwitted death and therefore you are its master. Any time you use this jutsu I will come. However I am busy and do not like to be disturbed to often. So unless you plan on having me take out someone’s soul, I would rather you didn’t summon me.” The shigami replied in its raspy voice as it bowed low to Naruto.

Then sighing the death god sank back into the ground and the moon un-eclipsed.

Naruto stood in silence for a moment, before a voice spoke right into his ear. “Naruto you did it. I though that you would fail like the many who have tried before you. I could have told you the answer, but then it would have not truly you who had concurred death. And the shigami would know so too, and would have ripped out your soul. But you…you were able to answer it using nothing but your mind. I am truly impressed. In my thousands of years as a creature of shadows, I have watched many try to answer the riddle and fail. Already tonight the death god clutched a soul from a person who failed to answer.”

Jumping again Naruto flipped and drew a kunai to find Sin standing directly in front of him. “Jeese stop that!!” Naruto hollered pointing a shaking finger towards Sin. Then remembering wheat Sin just said, replied. “Well that sucks to be that person. So now he will come whenever I use the jutsu. Thank you so much for teaching me your jutsus Sin. But YOU have to STOP doing that!!!”

“Not at all Naruto. You have mastered death, and proven yourself worthy in my eyes. I don’t think that I would be able to kill you if I tried. You are truly one of the greatest shinobi to have ever , and will ever live.” And then bowing Sin continued. “I will remember to try not to suddenly speak and apear in shadow’s around you. Good night Naruto.” And with that Sin sank back into the darkness. Sighing Naruto looked at his watch. He had easily mastered all of Sin’s jutsus in less then three hours. Then staring at it again, Naruto noticed the time.

“1:00. Time to go meet one of the others in front of the estate.’ He thought as he walked towards the place where his scrolls had been laid out. Sighing Naruto picked up the scrolls and returned them to his chest. Which had been slightly singed in his fight with Salamander. Then closing the chest, Naruto looked once around his training area. ‘I’ll have to ix this place up once I get back.’

And with that Naruto flickered to meet whoever it was that had decided to brief him on the rest of the days happenings.
