Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Sounds of a new Destiny ❯ Change of the Bloodline ( Chapter 10 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Authors Notes: Chapter 10 is here. Yes Sasame will be joining Naruto's little harem but just not yet. Naruto and Yugito are going to be a slower romance than the others. Konoha girls are easily impressed but girls from Kumogakure especially Yugito are tough as nails. Raimei is an exception. I also intend for them to meet a few more filler characters before the Chuunin Exams. Developing characters and what not also to stretch things out so Naruto can became better suited to work with other teams.
Also the concern of Ginshin's strength, he isn't as strong as Itachi now, he was said to be on par with Itachi before he left the village. Ginshin is pretty powerful but not take on Akatsuki Leader powerful.
A few days later…
Due to the bet being won the group was able to traverse to their destination with out problem. It would have been trouble had Gai and Lee went into their frantic scenes where they proclaim the feats they shall accomplish if the other cannot do their claimed feat. It is said that Neji and Tenten are desensitized to it, but still get the urge to tell the two to shut up. “Okay time to wait for Hanzaki...” Ginshin calmly said as they walked into the establishment a bar where they were to meet their contact.
“Are you the ones from Konohagakure?” a large man with a zanbatou on his back asked, this caught the attention of the group. The man's eyes widened as he recognized Naruto and backed up. “You. You're Orochimaru's student…you…”
“Not anymore.” Naruto responded quietly as he was leaning against the wall he pointed his hitae-ate. Hanzaki saw the leaf symbol and relaxed, he was one of the members of the clan who could tell Orochimaru was someone they shouldn't side with, he was also one of the ones who had seen Orochimaru's prized student.
“You are earlier than expected since a majority of the clan is still scattered…we also would like to offer a second mission to you…there is a girl name Sasame she has fallen in with the other faction. She has fallen in with the ones loyal to Orochimaru that is.” Hanzaki began quietly as he was seated across from the two Jounin, frankly it was good that Jiraiya was left out of this mission. The town looked like the kind of place Jiraiya got `creative' not the kind of thing you need on a mission of this rank. “She's a nice girl and means well…but they have promised to bring her to Arashi who we believe to have been killed…they're manipulating the girl…” Hanzaki finished, that was all Naruto needed to hear it seems as he pushed off the wall and was heading for the door.
“Naruto, where are you going?” Ginshin quickly asked her couldn't stand how reckless Naruto was. He saw it many times the boy was smart but never thought ahead, especially in battle he let his enemies attack to gauge their ability before taking them on. It was a dangerous tactic. “If you insist on going. At least go with Haku or Tenten. The hag will kill me if you die brat.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah…” Naruto responded as he walked out the door, Haku quickly rushed after him. He was acting cold and basically like the Uchiha suddenly. Perhaps it was being in the Land of Sound that was cause for this change.
“Gai if you don't mind I think Tenten should go. Naruto isn't exactly the most thoughtful when it comes to the Land of Sound. He is extremely reckless he went to no end to stop the Sound Shinobi.” Ginshin could tell from the actions when Sasuke had left the village, Naruto could have stopped Sasuke if he hadn't over extended himself in the other fights. Especially with Kimimaro, they had seen the gruesome scene it was like Naruto didn't consider his actions.
“I see no problem with that, two Jounin and four Genin could mount enough of a defense should sound Shinobi come here…” Gai energetically said before Ginshin shot him a look which said to be quiet.
“Alright I'm on it.” the brown haired girl quickly said as she headed out following the other two. Ginshin had turned his attention to the representative of the Fuma clan, he looked at him in silence. “How many of the clan remains…?” the flamboyant and showboating Jounin asked.
“Not counting the traitors under fifty…” the man replied silently that's when a woman with light brown hair and rectangular marks on her cheeks entered the room. Ginshin watched her with a cautious glance before he pulled kunai out of his holster and threw it at her. The woman swiftly dodged it and focused her eyes on the man, who threw it.
“That hat…it couldn't be…Ginshin?” the woman queried as she walked over to get a better look, upon closer inspection she could see that it was in fact Ginshin. The blood drained from her face and she attempted to run for it but found that her arm was grasped. “Let go Ginshin! I won't return to being a Shinobi!”
“That's the talk of a coward Rin. You quit after Obito died…you act like you were the only one affected.” Ginshin was speaking in a cold manner, his lips curled almost like a wolf's when it snarled. “He was Kakashi's best friend, and when you left the village you took the last bastion of normalcy away from Kakashi. I could have quit when they killed my mother. But I didn't. You were the best Medic Ninja of your generation and you ran away…it's time you faced the truth of what happened. Shinobi die…but their deaths can have meaning.”
His words hit her like daggers, she fell to the floor crying softly, she knew she was being entirely too selfish in the matter. She let something that they had no control of cause her to distance herself from someone who had needed her when it happened. She didn't know how Ginshin was able to stomach all the treachery that had befallen him in his time as a Shinobi she envied his tenacity to hold on. “…You're right…Arashi-sensei…is probably disappointed with me for this…”
“He died thirteen years ago Rin…you probably passed his son on the way in here…that boy contains the thing he died trying to stop…” Ginshin somberly said as he released Rin's arm, he was reflecting back on the night. The night Arashi Uzumaki passed away.
Kuchiyose: Flashbackno Jutsu
“You're crazy Arashi-niisan! There has to be another way! What about your son…he needs someone!” a fourteen year old Ginshin pleaded with the Hokage he couldn't believe the insanity he was hearing. He always admired The Yellow Flash as his personal hero and often thought of him as an older brother.
“There is no other way Ginshin…” the man had turned to Ginshin setting his hand on the boys head ruffling it lightly. He then set a straw hat on his head and smiled the fox like Uzumaki grin. “One day you shall be a man of great power…and you will understand what it means to do what you can for those precious to you. I know you will one day do what you can to help my son…I have given scrolls and items to Kakashi, Tou-san, Kaa-san, Sarutobi, as well as others. Lastly you…you shall give this to Naruto when he comes of age…” Arashi handed a box to Ginshin
“What is this Arashi-niisan?” Ginshin asked as he looked inside the box and saw a long sword which shone of silver with a symbol similar to the Storm God Seal. He then looked at Arashi quietly he didn't understand but nodded his head.
“That…is an important heirloom of the Uzumaki. One day you might teach my son…so make me proud and survive…though I didn't get to teach you much Ginshin…I am proud of you…” Arashi then walked past Ginshin into the battle field, Ginshin was unable to make a move to stop him.
“I know…it hurts to be unable to talk him out of this…” the cycloptic Jounin Kakashi spoke as he walked towards Ginshin who was still holding the wooden box. Kakashi held in his hand several scrolls each for Naruto. “He is doing this so his son may live…so we can grow up…so those can understand what a true leader is. It hurts…that is why the two of us must do what we can to protect Naruto. Arashi-sensei's legacy…”
The days following the death of Arashi, Ginshin had attempted to do what he could to become of some influence in Naruto's life but to no avail. “No Ginshin…you will not be permitted near that child at all. He will not be allowed to any of his family's assets or the estate due to the fact he is now a demon…” Homura responded smirking as he got a reaction out of the silver haired Chuunin.
“I bet you old bastards would kill Naruto if it wasn't for the fact the Hokage wouldn't let you!!” Ginshin shouted before he stormed out of the room he was becoming stir crazy with anger. He knew one day the council would lose the power they so happily abused, someday.
“I understand how you feel Ginshin…the council will not let anyone do anything to help Naruto. Not even Naruto's own grandfather. We each have a role to play one day…Arashi taught you little ninjutsu…he was teaching you how to be a decent human being. Something Homura, Danzou, and Koharu forgot a long time ago.” Sarutobi kindly said as he patted Ginshin on the back knowing it was infuriating.
“There has to be something I can do…besides wait…Hokage-sama…” Ginshin clenched his fists in frustration as he looked down. The Hokage smiled softly he knew very well Arashi was like a brother to Ginshin which is why it hurt him so much that he couldn't do anything.
“You will have your chance one day…the arrogance of my former friends will one day come to defeat them. But until then just live up to the expectations Arashi had for you…he asked me to give you this scroll…he said it seemed your style. He also gave me scroll with a message for you too.” Sarutobi handed the smaller scroll with the message to Ginshin first since it would be of use to him to hear parting words from someone influential. Ginshin quickly unsealed the scroll and pulled it open and began to read it quietly.
Dear Ginshin,
I know you probably tried to become Naruto's guardian already, and those old geezers said no. Big shock there, that's why I gave you the Uzumaki clan sword. I knew those idiots wouldn't heed to my wishes they want to wield the power in Konoha. Now there is a few things I want you to know about, I taught you the basics of Rasengan because pop was probably going to be too busy gawking at girls bathing to teach you much. I intended to complete the jutsu but I won't be able to since well you know. If you can somehow put your own element into the Rasengan you should be able to make your own jutsu.
You have great skill with the fire and water styles, but your element is earth so keep working on the earth element training. It will pay off if you can combine earth with the Rasengan, wind should look freakin' awesome when combined with it too. Now I have some parting advice for you.
You are the last of your clan so chances are you will have to suffer under the Clan Restoration Law. Sucks doesn't it? But on the upside you can go after any girls you want, ma would kill me if she heard me talk like that. But there is also something you gotta be careful about, girls like Shinka hoo man she sure hates you or maybe she loves you who knows. Try to limit the temperamental ones in your life.
Where was I? Oh yeah, that advice, you're strong with Ninjutsu but your Genjutsu skills suck. May as well increase your strengths, maybe that Kurenai girl you fancy can help you out. Your ninjutsu skills are top notch which is why I found this summoning contract for you, turns out it belonged to your birth family. It allows you to summon wolves a better choice than Toad's.
Now lastly…if Naruto should fall into clutches of someone like Orochimaru don't worry…you can't get an Uzumaki to change at all. I know Orochimaru is on our side but that guy scares the shit out of me. Point is don't worry he should retain who he really is no matter what he goes through.
Sincerely, your big bro Arashi Uzumaki
P.S. Kaa-san has an apprentice who is kind of cute she might be your speed. She was the niece of Kaa-san's boyfriend Dan so chances are ma won't let you near her. Her name is Shizune.
“Arashi-niisan…even in death you're a bit of a clown.” Ginshin chuckled sadly at the letter he had been given. He hung his head knowing that would be just the thing that Arashi would tell him.
Back in the present…
“I missed on so much because…I was unable to deal with Obito's death…” Rin sighed some as she had some moments of self reflection. She had to think about what she was going to do. She was a skilled Medical Ninja, she could save lives, and given that it was her talent she should have never left she could have saved lives.
“So you're thinking about returning to the village then? It has become quite the youthful place! Ginshin here has seven girlfriends!” Gai responded of course Ginshin slapped his own forehead at the stupidity of his fellow Jounin. He could practically strangle Gai for that outburst no one needed to know he was a womanizer being forced to marry all seven of his girlfriends.
“Stupid Spandex wearing….” Ginshin began muttering as his face contorted in disgruntlement. He rubbed his temples in a moment of frustration thinking he should of went on this mission with Team 8 instead.
“So our little Ginshin turned into a womanizer. Who would of thought that would happen considering when he was younger he was deathly afraid of girls. Especially this temperamental girl named Shinka. Anyways yes. I am thinking of coming back to the village.” Rin calmly stated she could see that she missed out on a lot in her years away from the village. `If this is how Ginshin turned out…I wonder what Kakashi looks like now.' she quietly thought as she looked at the frustrated Jounin about to beat Gai's head in.
“Hey…I wasn't that little Rin…I'm the same age as you.” Ginshin responded he didn't like being referred to as little, sure he wasn't very tall back then but he caught up. He grumbled and crossed his arms, he couldn't argue.
Off in the forests...
Naruto was running through the forest swiftly skidding to a stop as he found a girl with orange hair as he neared her two ninja appeared each with Otogakure hitae-ate. One was a girl with long wavy light brown hair wearing a blue top similar to the others that were trained by Kuroken and Shirotoku. Her pants were simple blue jeans, she wore some wooden sandals for that showy touch.
“How sad…I thought she could put up more of a fight than that. After that moving speech about how she would avenge her cousin! Ha!” the girl vindictively said in enjoyment as she kicked the girl in the side. She adjusted her hitae-ate that rested in her hair and grinned wildly as she spotted Naruto. “He looks like he could be fun to knock around…”
“Arashi-niisan isn't dead…” the orange haired girl cried out in pain, she had been worked over viciously by the girl in blue. The girl wearing blue then kicked the girl in the side since she had enough of this girls whining about how her cousin was alive. “You Fuma losers have no place in the ranks of Otogakure…we have no place for the weak…those that had sided with Orochimaru aren't weak” the girl in blue heartlessly said before laughing arrogantly.
“You will find…I'm not as easy…” Naruto coldly said as vanished from the girl's sight only his pack remained behind, he appeared to be rushing the girl from behind but she spun and what she struck was a shadow clone. The real Naruto had picked up the orange haired girl and jumped back he turned quickly rushed forward picking up his pack while carrying the girl over his shoulder. This wasn't the time for him to be fighting someone he had to get the girl to safety.
The girl growled angrily as she threw punch to the ground, she had never been outsmarted before. Her teammate who stayed out of it smirked at her enragement he was more of the thinking type. This could be suggested by the way he dressed a leather jacket with fur lining with a fishnet shirt underneath, his pants were black denim, and he stuck with the ninja sandals unlike others of Otogakure. Another feature about him was the ninja scarf that was wrapped about most of his face except for the hair that stuck out. He opted for silence and stealth unlike the others, not that wooden sandals made much noise. “Sayuri…are you quite finished wasting time…that girl will do what she has been lead to believe…she will lead the fool and his team to the location…of course the other Fuma may hinder the operation some…” the boy casually commented as adjusted his headband in deep thought.
“Whatever Boushin…I just know I want to fight that boy…if Kuroken-sensei and Shirotoku-sensei are right he is strong.” the girl smugly said as she jumped up into the canopy of the forest, her team mate had done the same thing.
A short distance away…
Naruto set the orange haired girl down looked about silently before kneeling down to check the girl for any serious injuries. That's when Haku and Tenten had finally caught up to Naruto. “Naruto-kun is that the girl?” Haku softly asked as she walked up to Naruto.
“Yes she received quite the thrashing from some sound ninjas I had never seen before.” Naruto quietly explained to the dark haired girl as he finished checking the unconscious girl. The girl opened her eyes slowly that's when she looked right into his eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly this boy was different.
“Naruto-kun you should have waited for us.” Tenten chided the blonde haired boy, she felt like she was dealing with another Lee. That wasn't something the girl had wanted to see in Naruto, she didn't think that was an admirable trait.
`Wait…did she call him Naruto? That's the name of Orochimaru's student…' the girl thought quietly as she looked at the boy who was scratching the back of his head. The girl had no idea what was going on now, the Fuma had no idea that Naruto was no longer Orochimaru's enforcer. She would have to hold her doubts about these people for later.
“Sorry Ten-chan…” Naruto sheepishly responded, had he been Lee the brunette would have violently shaken him for being so stupid. But she knew very well the boy wasn't stupid by any measure she had seen him defeat Neji who was considered to be a living prodigy. “Are you one of the members of the Fuma?” Naruto asked as he turned his head to look at the girl with orange hair.
“Yes. I am Sasame. But why do you ask…and who sent you?” the girl wondered if it was the traitors that sent these people to help her. She was reaching for her holster ready to pull out a kunai in case.
“Hanzaki asked us…” Naruto reacted in a flash as the girl pulled three kunai out of her holster. His long sword was pointed towards her neck as he gave off an aura of killing intent, his eyes narrowed at her. “Let me guess you're going to tell us that he is a traitor…” Naruto thrust his sword into the tree right beside the girl's head.
“He is!” Sasame shouted out in defiance of Naruto's mission, she had no intention of trusting anyone that the leader of the `traitors' had sent. Naruto had dropped down and looked at her with an intense gaze, like the eyes of a wolf her dead in the eye using some intimidation factors. The girl dropped her kunai seeing clearly the boy before her could kill her.
“Let me explain something to you…until a few months ago I was one of the Otogakure Elite…but Orochimaru is a liar…it might hurt to know this but your cousin is as good as dead…and I won't let you meet the same fate.” just as Naruto was finishing this statement there was clapping coming from behind him, he turned his head to see another sound ninja. This time it was one wearing a sakkat with a steel plate on the front with the symbol of Otogakure. He was draped in a black yukata, with black hakama, and he had five swords with him.
“My...how pawns seem to forget their place…looks like Boushin didn't count on was the fact we didn't agree with his strategy…it left too much to chance.” That's when the ninja kicked a severed head down to the ground and the girl screamed loudly as she recognized the face to be her cousin. He then leaped off the tree branch flying straight for Naruto, he was drawing two swords he had taking the chance to strike.
“You think it's the way of the Shinobi to slaughter senselessly!?” Naruto roared as he pulled his sword from the tree spinning about taking a swing at the boy who raised his swords up in time to catch the blade being pushed back. “Haku-chan, Ten-Chan get Sasame to safety…try and get her back to the town.” Naruto solemnly spoke despite now his eyes were blood red with demonic slits his red chakra was taking form around his body like that of the Kyuubi. He was using this extra power from his chakra to keep the other boy busy. The two girls nodded and lead Sasame away to safety, they had to do as Naruto said he was so serious they felt he knew what he was doing.
“Shit…you don't actually think that tooth pick is enough to defeat my five swords!! You have no hope against me Hakaisha Kenki!!” the boy responded as he spun off to the side, he closed his eyes as he smirked for a moment. Kenki opened his eyes smirking as he lunged forward taking his chance to slash at Naruto who was parrying each attack as best he could. “You're too pathetic! It ends now Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune!” the boy shouted as he jumped towards a tree and bound off it flying at Naruto swiftly. The two swords cut deep into Naruto sending him flying across the ground. The boy was about to finish Naruto off when he felt an increase in Naruto's chakra a second tail of red chakra was forming.
“You are a pathetic excuse for a Shinobi…relying on swords…let me guess you can't use Chakra…” Naruto brutally stated as he stood up from the ground his wounds were healing quickly before he could rushed forward a metal staff came forward and hit Naruto on the back of the head knocking him out. Kenki then froze with fear as he saw the owner of the staff step forward.
“Kenki…the Shirokuro Niningumi (Monochrome Duo) are unhappy with your choice of deviation…we aren't supposed to kill Naruto…his role in Orochimaru's scheme isn't done yet…” the owner of the staff was none other than the blind chimera Koshanue. Kenki sheathed his swords quietly just before he was punched across the jaw by his superior. “Killing Fuma Arashi was also not part of the plan…you have greatly jeopardized the operation…we are to allow the Fuma to gather then we slaughter them all…over step your place again and I will kill you, you worthless piece of trash…” Kosha turned away when he heard the sound of his subordinate nodding his head.
Naruto was still somewhat conscious as he lay on the ground, having heard everything he had to try and do something but darkness was taking him swiftly. Kenki disappeared into the tree's quietly not wanting to anger Koshanue any further, Koshanue stepped away quietly using his staff to guide him as he walked. “Uzumaki Naruto…you are different than Uchiha Sasuke…you seem tolerable…you fight for those you hold dear…” the blind chimera casually commented as he walked off into the shadows of the forest. Naruto was lost in his unconsciousness his memories going back to when he was younger, to when he gained the seal on his back.
Kuchiyose: Flashback
Naruto had grown at a startling rate within two years, he had proven to have talent that Konoha never noticed. Orochimaru smirked in a sickening way in approval of Naruto's advancement. “Naruto-kun…I have noticed your growth and although I would like to bestow upon you a Cursed Seal…I have found none that would benefit you…” Orochimaru began as he smiled in a snake like manner, that's when a priest bearing a tattoo of a star inside of a circle on his head walked in, his hair was tied in a long braid.
“Is this the boy...?” the priest asked quietly as he looked at the boy, Naruto looked at Orochimaru questioningly since he didn't understand the purpose of this. Orochimaru nodded his head slowly, Naruto was unsure what was going to happen it made him a little bit edgy to say the least.
“Naruto-kun this man is going to bestow upon you a greater mark of power, your body will simply absorb any curse mark I put on you. It is a Blessed Seal. Think of it as you receiving a piece of power from something greater…my power is limited and should something happen to me I want you to be able to avenge me my student…kukuku!” Orochimaru explained to the boy as chuckled softly though in reality he was telling the truth. In his own sick and twisted way he had come to treat Naruto as his own son. “The mark shall go on the middle of your back.”
Naruto understood and removed his Yukata, the priest began buy pulling out his string of one-hundred and eight prayer beads and laying it around Naruto. The priest then began to write mantra in a spiral pattern across Naruto's back, he continued until the mantras were about Naruto's back. The priest then began to chant quietly as he proceeded to do a variation of hand seals they were in a different manner than Ninja Hand Seals. The priest then raised his hand to the sky with his index and middle finger extended. Energy formed as he did this just before he thrust his fingers into the middle of Naruto's back. The mantras began to glow a silver color as they began to pull towards the center and formed the three tomoe seal.
“It is done Serpent Sannin…the boy now possesses the Storm God Seal…it shall be taxing for him when he uses its full power…that is the reason why the seals were locked away by great ninja of the first generation.” The priest explained, though the seals weren't as dangerous as the cursed seals, the seals had all been locked away long ago for good reason. Black and White two forms of the natural order of the universe, the blessed seals were much more dangerous.
“Good…” Orochimaru replied before he smirked some seeing the blessed seal take hold and cause the boy to scream out in pain. He knew that the two seals were much alike they didn't show any sympathy to the ones that bared them. “Thank you…and do tell your leader I appreciate him being quiet about what he knows!” he smiled sickeningly as he looked at the priest who was leaving.
Naruto had been given this seal for good reason because it held immense power that would be of benefit to him in other ways one day. It came in handy when he had to fight Sasuke that fateful day in the Valley of the End when Uzumaki and Uchiha once more clashed.
The present…
“…up Naruto-kun!!” a voice called out as Naruto was coming back to consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes as he felt like he had a killer headache. He then focused his vision as he looked to see Haku looking at him with concern as she shook him lightly.
“H-Haku-chan…?” he said with a sore voice like he had just gotten out of surgery, he sat up slowly and winced heavily in pain as he held his head. The dark haired girl then pulled him into a tight embrace, relieved that he was okay. Though the same couldn't be said for his yukata, it was done for that swordsman was serious, almost like a sociopath bent on taking lives.
“Thank goodness you're okay…if anything happened to you I would…” the girl began and Naruto put his index finger to her lips which silenced her. He gathered himself up and staggered off towards the town, he was about to fall over when Haku rushed over helped support him. “Naruto-kun…you are in no condition to be walking.”
“I don't have time to rest…we have to warn the Fuma…they are in danger…” Naruto managed to say as he continued to stagger forward the blow to his head having done some damage to him. His head was a bit groggy and the Kyuubi couldn't do anything against that.
“What do you mean? You're not making any sense Naruto-kun!” the dark haired kunoichi responded as she helped Naruto walk. She was confused by the way Naruto was going in circles with his concern.
“Orochimaru is allowing the Fuma to gather in one place so he can destroy them all in one fell swoop!” Naruto yelled as he tried to get away but his head was spinning too much he slumped to the ground. He cursed the fox under his breath for no being able to make the world stop spinning.
“Naruto you are in no condition to be saving anyone…” Haku coldly said as she helped him sit upright against a tree. As if by cruel twist of fate they were right beside an unconscious Tenten, there was no sign of Sasame. “What in the world happened here…?” Haku asked quietly, Naruto could tell what had happened.
“Sasame has gone to Orochimaru's Compound to get revenge…but…” Naruto began as his head was feeling a tad better and he was no longer feeling the effects of the blow to the head. He slowly began to use the medical ninjutsu skills he had acquired to take care of Tenten's injuries, as well as making sure she didn't have a concussion. “He won't be there…” Naruto finished his statement as Tenten was coming around she quickly held her head as she sat up.
“Why do I feel like I was just hit by Omote Renge…?” the brunette asked as she looked over at Naruto he was treating her head for any serious injuries. She felt her head pain vanishing due to the medical treatment from Naruto.
“And how long have you had Medical Ninjutsu Naruto-kun?” Haku asked with a bit of venom to her tone, it seemed interesting that the boy seemed to have medical ninjutsu suddenly.
“My grandmother is the greatest Medical Ninja ever, also I was taught medical ninjutsu by Kabuto. Orochimaru didn't want me to learn Medical Ninjutsu since it would be useless for me to need it. There is also something Kabuto had taught me that wasn't medical ninjutsu…” he responded as he helped Tenten to her feet, he then looked at his Yukata and ripped it off quickly since it was pointless to wear it anymore. He reached into his pack and pulled out another yukata pulling it on slowly and retying the rope like obi about his yukata. “We have to go. Our mission is to get the girl back to the representative of the Fuma.” he barked out as he jumped into the trees heading to the compound.
The two girls nodded their heads and followed after Naruto bounding behind him, the intimate knowledge of the Sound Ninja made the weapon mistress a bit uneasy. Even if he was Tsunade-hime's grandson it was hard to trust someone who knew this much about the enemy.
“Orochimaru isn't there but there will be some Chuunin…but that girl will be severely outclassed…she doesn't carry enough knowledge to deal with ninja of that level. The Fuma aren't exactly like us…they train in seclusion where they keep their secrets to themselves.” Naruto started as he slowly brought his mask down over his face his eyes were more intense as he and the two kunoichi traveled ahead.
Meanwhile in the town…
As the last of the Fuma refugees were walking into the village a contingency force of Oto Nin appeared on the rooftops of the town ready to begin the operation. A group of the Oto Nin rushed into the establishment where the Fuma had been gathering, minutes would pass and the group didn't leave but the sounds of a struggle were heard. The leader of the group of Oto Nin heading up the attack dropped down, the ever present sickening smile on his face. His white hair whipped about as a breeze came rolling through. “BROTHER!! I'm calling you out…so come and play!” it was none other than Shirotoku who was heading up the operation.
“Shirotoku-sama please try to conduct yourself professionally…Orochimaru-sama will-” one of the Oto nin said before he was promptly killed with a kunai between the eyes. Shirotoku looked rather disgusted as he finished killing the ninja who dared to tell him what to do.
“Don't you dare tell me how I am to act…I will do as I want as long as the operation is a success. Hehe!” he grinned broadly as he watched the entrance of the bar, slowly Ginshin walked out. He was not looking all that pleased in fact his eyes were narrowing to a more wolfish appearance.
“Gai…I'm leaving the rest to you guys…I have to settle things with Shirotoku…” Ginshin and Shirotoku rushed headlong right towards each other striking at each other, throwing punches swiftly which were intercepted by one another. They quickly jumped away from each other they both began to work through hand seals they were pulling out all the stops now.
“Okay! Hanzaki, Ginshin is buying us time…you need to get your people going…we shall buy you time…Lee, Neji, and Kin you go with them!” Gai shouted as he looked determined as he rushed out defeating any Oto Nin that came within his reach. The representative of the Fuma nodded his head walking back to where the Fuma had gathered. “Alright listen up everyone. The Konoha Team shall be buying us time…out the back everyone!” Hanzaki exclaimed as he looked to the members of the clan in the bar, he would have to bring up the rear.
Meanwhile in the streets the mayhem was exploding Shirotoku had once more shifted swiftly to use his Hyoton: Daiyomondo Tonbogiri. Ginshin had yet to start using his Kekkei Genkai he wasn't as reliant on forming metal. “Sorry Shirotoku…but I'm not playing your games anymore! A page from my best student's book! KATON: TSUIN KIN TENTOUSAMA!!” Ginshin shouted as he began to form the hand seals for his famed jutsu.
“Oh what do you plan to do with that? It can't compare to the crystalline beauty of my Tonbogiri!!” the white haired master of ice shouted as he rushed headlong towards his opponent once more. Ginshin smirked thrusting the sphere of intense spiraling fire chakra forward the golden sphere met the crystalline spear and began to melt it. “The hell!? Your fire attack shouldn't be that powerful!!” the ice master responded as he jumped back producing hand seals to create another which he put more chakra into.
Meanwhile in Konoha…
“You seem troubled Tsunade-sama…” Shizune quietly said as she looked at her teacher with her dark eyes. The almond eyes of Tsunade shot her a serious look as she handed her apprentice a file. Shizune looked inside and read the reports and her eyes widened. “What does this mean Tsunade…what is happening to Naruto…?” she asked in shock as she continued to read the file.
“Due to the external influences on him Naruto's Kekkei Genkai is being rewritten…and reconstituted as a Dojutsu. Naruto told me he was having moments where he had an intense pain in both of his eyes.” Tsunade said grimly she laced her fingers quietly as she looked out the window. She glared some knowing the exact causes of the change. “I think it's being caused by the Kyuubi as well as the seal on his back. I did some checking on seals and it's not a cursed seal Shizune…someone else gave Naruto the seal. When it happens he shall have immense pain to the eyes at first…”
Back with Naruto's group…
“Okay here's the plan I will go inside to find Sasame…you two watch the entrance…I figure we're all at least at Chuunin level and we can all handle Chuunin especially myself and Haku…no offense Tenten…” Naruto sheepishly said knowing he was being unfair, but he and Haku after all were a notch above most ninja that they had met. Naruto a skilled tool of Orochimaru, the third in command as it were. Haku on the other hand was an oinin making her exceptionally talented.
“None taken…but why do you want to go alone…its dangerous Naruto-kun!” Tenten tried to plea with Naruto but was met with dead silence. They landed at the entrance to the compound there were no ninja posted at the entrance and Naruto quickly rushed in leaving the two girls at the entrance. But Tenten and Haku didn't wait for long as they quickly followed after Naruto.
“Heyyyyy Naruto!!” the boisterous and energetic Rekka called out as she was waiting to meet Naruto, he in turn smirked behind his mask. The girl slid into a fighting stand extending her arms flipping her metal fans open. She rushed forward and began to try and take Naruto on using only her fans. Her moves came fast and flew right at Naruto unrelenting her speed almost greater than his as he continues to bob and weave. “Oh c'mon Naru-kun!! I know you can do better than that!!” she called out just then a kunai flew over Naruto's shoulder and the girl deflected the kunai.
“Naruto-kun! Go on ahead I can handle this showboating whore of a Kunoichi.” Tenten immediately showed disgust for this Kunoichi of Oto, it was one of the things she couldn't stand, Kunoichi who spent time on their looks instead of training. Naruto nodded and rushed on ahead of her and ran down the hallway, Haku following behind him. Of course the Fan Dancer was becoming quite irritated from the weapons mistress calling her a whore.
Further down the hall Naruto and Haku came across a girl wielding large Kunai grinning with a murderous look in her eyes. “Naruto-kun…I will take her…you have to find Sasame…” Haku said as she increased her pace and engaging the other girl quickly, Haku and this girl seemed evenly matched for the moment.
“Hehe...impressive!” the red haired girl responded as she took a swing with her large dual bladed kunai at Haku. She was dressed in a purple variance of Rekka's outfit except with a more prudish purple dress that reached her ankles. She had a red cloth wrap about her head, and her red hair fell over one of her eyes which were a light brown color. “I am Muzai Kiru! And you will be the next to die by my blades!” she said with a bit of insanity to her voice, Haku just frowned at her.
“Hyoton: Tsuin Suishou Ken!(Ice Release: Twin Crystal Swords)” Haku responded as she used wind and water chakra to form a pair of swords of ice which she grasped in her hands. She stood across from the other girl ready to fight, `This looks like its going to be difficult I cannot read her motions…' Haku said under her breath.
Finally Naruto came to the end of the corridor into a larger room where there was an exhausted Sasame desperately trying to avoid the attacks of Kenki. Naruto glared and rushed forward he could see the swordsman was coming at the girl to finish her off in one fell swoop or defeat her. Naruto rushed forward and grabbed hold of her, his hand landed on one of her breasts. Naruto pulled her out of the way just as Kenki was nearing her, the two were laying on the ground from the successful evasion of Kenki's attack.
Naruto and Sasame finally registered where one of his hands was and both immediately blushed but it couldn't be seen on Naruto who was wearing a mask over his face. Naruto stood to his feet watching Kenki the battle was becoming more intense, by the minute, Naruto lunged forward and unsheathed his sword of Murakumo from its scabbard as he flew right towards Kenki who raised his swords to block. “One sword isn't enough to defeat me you fool!” the devil swordsman shouted as he was being pushed back.
“Sasame you stay back I will handle this…” Naruto turned his head back smiling at the girl before he returned to his fight with Kenki. The devil swordsman pivoted on his right foot kicking Naruto's arm knocking the sword loose sending it flying across the room which amused him. ”This time the Blind Chimera wont save you!! Its time to die!!”
Naruto's eyes widened as he bobbed and weaved every which way trying to avoid Kenki's swords as best as he could. But he felt like he was about to meet his end, he was relying to heavily on that sword. He could feel his heart beating heavily and loudly, that's when it happened he felt the sharp pain in both of his eyes. “Not again…ahh…ARGH!!!” he screamed holding the sides of his head as he felt chakra going to his eyes. The pain subsided after a moment and he opened his eyes which now bore the same symbol on his back though slightly different. For the tomoe each were silver while the spiral in the center was black and at the very center was a yin yang in each eye forming the pupil.
Inside Naruto's mind…
“What the hell is going on!?” Naruto yelled at the fox who was laughing in enjoyment about something as he looked down at Naruto. The Kyuubi was starting to confuse Naruto with this laughter he was giving.
“The blessed seal…it was a gift from Orochimaru. But this change to your eyes is something that involves your clan Mokuro was blessed with ease manipulating earth and water. You on the other hand were gifted with five affinities. My influence on your body has caused this change basically…” the demon began with it's booming voice as he glowered down at Naruto smirking in enjoyment. He obviously knew what was happening he knew about everything since he was the lord of all the Bijuu. “I simply chose to make some changes to your Kekkei Genkai, apparently they didn't foresee the changes that would occur…needless to say you have acquired a Dojutsu...much better than the Sharingan.” the fox laughed with his booming voice as he looked down at Naruto.
“How is it better?” Naruto couldn't believe that this rewrite of his Kekkei Genkai could be better than the Sharingan. It could be impossible for this to be stronger, unless it possessed something that the Sharingan didn't have. “Simple kit…you don't need to copy hand seals to learn ninjutsu like the cursed Uchiha do. You can learn ninjutsu on your own. You will just have to learn what the Dojutsu does…make good use of it because if you die…I die…and I would rather not die.” the Kyuubi roared out, the blonde boy nodded his head this was no time to question a gift from the thing that made his life horrible.
In reality…
“Not today devil swordsman!” Naruto shouted as he formed Rasengan in his right hand and rushed forward driving the spiral sphere right into the oncoming swords. The chakra seemed to be the perfect medium to drive the swords back pretty soon the swords were sent flying away. “You won't win devil swordsman...” Naruto smirked as the pupil of his transformed eye turned slowly the three tomoe of the iris turned next.
“Don't think just because your eyes became different I'm going down easily!!” the swordsman responded as he unsheathed his two katana. Naruto was watching the other boy cautiously, he saw his chance and did the hand seal for Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. He created only one clone which rushed across the room and threw the sword to Naruto who caught the blade and stood ready for his enemy's advancement.
Meanwhile down the hall…
Haku and Kiru had met in yet another deadlock as their weapons collided, Kiru as growing tired of this more and more by the second. She jumped back and crossed the two large kunai and locked them together revealing a giant shuriken. She grinned in a sadistic manner as she attacked chakra strings to it and prepared to throw the Shuriken.
“It's been a while since I used this one…Makyo Hyo Sho!!” Haku shouted as she formed the dome of twenty one mirrors of ice. She then split into twenty one duplicates using Kage Bunshin no Jutsu she didn't have the chakra capacities of Naruto but it was going to take everything to take down this psychopath.
Further down the hall…
“You have some nerve calling me a whore…” the blonde girl responded as she deflected a kunai thrown at her with a flick of her fan. She bounded off the walls and flew towards Tenten with unquestionable rage as she threw a series of kicks. Tenten did her best to fend off the attacks but soon she was sent flying back as few kicks connected.
“I only call it like I see it…” Tenten responded as she pulled a scroll out and bit her thumb summoning a pair of chakram that each had a panda on them. She picked the weapons up rushed forward spinning in a flurry of motions meeting Rekka head on. When Rekka blocked the last of the chakram swings she smirked until a powerful mule kick from the brunette hit her in the stomach. “You spend too much time on your looks! Not enough time on training!!” the brunette shouted as she spun back taking a relaxed stance.
And back in the town…
“You have forced my hand brother…Hyoton: Yosouya! (Ice Release: Crystal Gazer)” Shirotoku formed a sphere of ice which formed several spikes on the other end before he rushed towards Ginshin. Ginshin smirked and followed suit forming an earth based sphere. “Katon: Kin Tentousama!” the silver haired jounin responded before he rushed forward and the two spheres collided. The immense Chakra of the two forced caused a mild shockwave to tear through the town shattering the glass of the windows in buildings.
The battle was just starting to intensify there was no telling how the metal master and ice master's battle would end. Or for that matter the rest of the team who were engaged in combat in Orochimaru's old compound. This was going to be by far the most intense battle the Genin had ever had. There was no telling how it would unveil.
Author's Notes: Okay here's chapter 10 a lot has been unveiled through this chapter. I introduced the blessed seal since power always comes in twos or threes. Now I also decided that because of the Kyuubi and the Blessed Seal it might cause a change in Naruto which results in his Dojutsu. I am taking suggestions for its name and its abilities since I could only come up with Tenkaigan.
After the next two filler arcs I'm going to do the next Chuunin exams in Kumogakure. That will be when everything you thought you knew about Naruto gets turned on its edge! I have so much I have yet to unveil such as perhaps GASP! A third level to the cursed and blessed seals!! But seriously there will be a lot to reveal! *evil laugh*I had some fun writing this chapter but yet again I didn't like some parts of the story I may tweak this chapter later.
