Chapter 6: The final battle

 

~~~~~~Last Chapter~~~~~

 

“winner of the 4th match….Wind, welcome to the mist” the referee said as he tossed the mist forehead protector to her. She walked up the stairs, the next match was going to be fun…

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Naruto walked down the stairs, and when he met Hinata, he said “good job, wish me luck”

 

“Good luck, Neon” Hinata said, as she kissed him.

 

Naruto kissed back and when they finally broke away he said “thank you, Wind” and he walked toward the middle of the arena.

 

Naruto stood there waiting…something seemed different, when he looked around through the stands with his powerful hearing and sight, there was one man that didn't register….the Mizukage was missing. Naruto thought about it for a minute, but then came to the conclusion…'ohhh shit….there's no way I can beat him and not blow my cover' he thought.

 

The door opened in the side of the arena, and Naruto looked on in horror as the Mizukage himself, dressed in his battle ready clothes, came through the door. “hello, Neon, I congratulate your friends for defeating the challenges thrown their way…but now you have to fight me, to see what level you are truly at” the Mizukage said as he got into a stance

 

Naruto took off the black and red cloak and threw it aside, he knew this battle would be serious, and he didn't want to take a chance of messing up his cloak…especially during a battle with one of the few strongest people in the world…he got into his taijutsu stance that he had learned from Kogamaru.

 

“ready when you are, Neon” the Mizukage said…he wasn't an old man at all, the Mizukage looked to be about 35 years old, with black hair and some 5 o'clock shadow on his face. He was a very good looking man, but now was not the time to be admiring the young Mizukage before him, so Naruto got ready.

 

“Begin” the referee said and both Naruto and the Mizukage disappeared from view. And only 4 people could follow the speed of the two fighting in the arena…and those four were the newest ninja of the Hidden mist village.

 

With speed only the people of Kage level, demon, or the Akatsuki could achieve, Naruto and the Mizukage were trading blows.

 

Naruto had started out with the taijutsu he had learned from Kogamaru and he threw 5 punches in quick succession, only 4 were blocked by the Mizukage though, and the last punch got through, hitting the Mizukage in the face, sending him flying backwards.

 

The Mizukage corrected himself in the air and he landed and ran back at Naruto, drawing a kunai as he ran. He ran up to Naruto and slashed at him with the kunai…

 

Naruto dodged the kunai, but it clipped some of his hair, but he also drew a kunai and slashed back at the Mizukage.

 

The Mizukage blocked the kunai with his kunai, and it was at this time the spectators could see the battle, because they had come to a standstill. Naruto smirked under his mask and he pushed the Mizukage back and punched him with more force than the Mizukage was expecting, sending him flying through the air. To say that the Mizukage was surprised is an understatement, he was shocked to believe that a young man, half his age, had enough strength to push him back without any leverage at all, then punch him with that much force.

 

Naruto was faster than the flying Mizukage, and he was behind the man in an instant, and he punched him again, this time into the air. While the Mizukage was in the air, Naruto did the infamous Shadow clone technique, making 4 copies of himself. The copies jumped and kicked the Mizukage higher, then the real one jumped from the back of one of his clones and landed a flip kick to his head, sending him plummeting down to the earth.

 

The Mizukage was so shocked that he didn't even try to lessen the speed with which was kicked down until he was 5 feet from the ground. When he realized he was that close to the ground, he panicked, then he hit the ground, with a resounding crash…dust was sent into the air, not letting anyone see anything.

 

When the smoke cleared, the spectators saw a crater half the size of the arena, with the Mizukage at the bottom of it. The Mizukage had been knocked out, so the referee came out and said “Neon, welcome to the Hidden Village of Mist, you have achieved a very high goal, and if the Mizukage was conscious right now, I'm sure he would congratulate you” he said as he tossed a Mist forehead protector to Naruto, who just after he caught it, passed out into unconsciousness…

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

When Naruto woke up, all he knew was he had a throbbing pain in his head. He tried to open his eyes, but the sun was shining right on his face, so he had to close them again…

 

`where am I?' he thought as he tried opening his eyes again. He looked around the room, `I'm in a hospital' he thought, and his eyes fell on Hinata sitting next to the bed. She was asleep, her head resting on his bed. He smiled and moved his hand and started rubbing her hair…then he realized he had on nothing but a hospital gown, with bandages around his tattoos `oh, shit, someone found out who I am' was the first thing that registered.

 

Hinata woke up to the feel of someone rubbing her hair `that feels good' she thought as she looked at who was doing it…”Nar…I mean Neon, you're awake!” she said standing up and holding his hand

 

“yeah” he said with a raspy voice…Hinata noticed this and she walked to the faucet in the bathroom connected to the room, and filled a glass for him.

 

Naruto took the cup from her and he drank it all, and then he said in a clearer voice “thanks, Wind, I love you” and he kissed her.

 

“I love you too, Neon” she said after she kissed him back…

 

“where are my clothes? And who saw my tattoos and tail?” Naruto asked, but Hinata shushed him with her lips

 

“quiet, we can be overheard” she whispered “I put your clothes over in the cabinet, and I am the one who dressed your wounds, I wouldn't let anyone else do it, because of our little secrets…by the way, do you know what these tattoos do? I know they are demonic seals, I just don't know how to activate them, nor do I know what they do?” she asked after putting up a sound barrier around the room

 

“yes, I know because of the Kyuubi…he showed me some of the seals…and I had a memory that we would get a bloodline when we absorb the second part of Kyuubi…I really want a bloodline to call my own…” he said as he got up, and took off the hospital gown he was in.

 

Hinata had seen it all before and she didn't even look away while Naruto redressed in his clothes. “what will happen to the Byakugan when I receive the trait? Is it a bloodline with the eyes? Or with other parts of the body?” she asked

 

“it's a bloodline with the eyes, but you can activate either, I'm assuming. I mean, the Byakugan and the new bloodline will probably activate at the same time, giving you more sight, or they might only activate according to your will” Naruto said as he finished by putting his mask back on, and he looked at her, seeing she was still covered with the dress and mask “where is my cloak?” he asked as he looked around, but then he saw it on the hanger next to the door “never mind, I found it” he said as he walked over and put it on, leaving the hood down.

 

Hinata looked at him and said “well, I hope we can both use it whatever it is…” she walked over and picked her cloak up and did the same. She put her Mist forehead protector around her forehead, with the bandana so it covered her ears more.

 

Naruto put the mist forehead protector on his left bicep and said “come on, we need to talk with the others” and he opened the door and walked out of the room, Hinata following.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

In a clearing 2 miles from the village, Kogamaru, Krymaru, and Gaara were training their minds by meditation. They sat in a tight circle with their backs to each other. They were molding chakra with just their minds, not using hand seals, and they were doing good at it. This is where Naruto and Hinata found them.

 

“hey, guys, I'm back” Naruto said as he looked at them and noticed they stopped meditating and looked at him.

 

Gaara was the first one off the ground and he said to Naruto “good to see you are finally awake”

 

“What do you mean? How long was I asleep for?” he asked, puzzled

 

“oh, not long, just 3 days” Gaara said, cracking the first joke Naruto had ever heard from him…no one knew what to do, but Naruto started laughing his ass off

 

“My God Gaara!!! That was a friggin joke!!” he laughed as he held his sides and rolled on the floor…

 

Gaara smiled, when everyone else laughed too, but not to the extent Naruto was. When Naruto stopped laughing he put on a serious face and said “we have to talk, its about the markings on our bodies” he looked at them and said “everyone but Hinata, take off your cloaks and your shirts, I need to see them to know what they are”

 

Everyone but Hinata took off their cloaks shirts and bandages, after Naruto had put up a sound and sight barrier. Naruto them examined the markings on his friends…”ok, ill tell you what each of them do, and how to activate them” he said

 

“The first seal is called the Master Seal… it is the one that takes the shape of your Demon. For me, I have the Kyuubi, for Gaara it is the Shukaku, and for Kogamaru it is the Kyuuji, these seals control the other seals to the extent of their overpowering out bodies, the reason we have only absorbed a small fraction of the demon's inside us is because our bodies cannot take the strain”

 

He pointed to his neck, the seal that looked like an eye “this is called The Mind's Eye, it lets you access your `partner's` memories, allowing you to experience what they have done, this activates only when something happens to jog that memory from you” he said, then he went on

 

“the next seal” he said as he pointed to the seal on the left side of his chest, to the seal that was a spiral in a circle “is called the Chakra Flux Seal, it fluxuates your chakra, making it harder for you to mold your chakra, but makes your chakra precision perfect after a while. If you disable it, you have full control of the chakra, but when it is enabled, it is harder to use your chakra”

 

He moved to the next seal, the one that was a black and Crimson Star “this is called the Gravity seal. When activated the person with the seal can set the amount of gravity they want their body to feel…its like having weights on all the time, but you can choose something that is more than any weights could do for you, like 20 times normal gravity, or something…this also can be used with the Chakra Flux seal, because you need to control your chakra to cusion your steps, not allowing you to create mini earthquakes, every step you take” he said with a smirk

 

“this seal” he said as he indicated the seal on his right inner forearm, the one that had 49 black dots and 1 red dot “is the Hell's Key seal…it is the indicator to how much of our demon's chakra we have absorbed…we have all absorbed 1/50 of our demons, so in order to get more into our bodies, therefore, making us stronger, we have to use the other seals to strengthen our chakra control and our bodies, to accommodate the power”

 

“and the last seal, on our right palms” he said as he indicated the animal mark is on each of their palms “is a summoning seal, you don't need a scroll to summon your animals, just wipe blood on the seal and it will summon n animal, just like that…but it has to be the animal on your hand…Gaara summons badgers, and Kogamaru summons wolves…I summon foxes” he said “we have a lot of training to do, if this is 1/50 of the power of our demons now, wait until we get only ¼ of the entire power, we will be unstoppable to anyone, except the Akatsuki…and even then, we can fight them and run away”

 

“well, it seems we have our work cut out for us” Kogamaru said “I'm glad we have hundreds of years before we have to die, I like the idea of living with my clan forever”

 

“me too, I'll finally have a family, of blood, but you guys, are my family as well, we may not be blood related, but you are my brothers…and of course, Hinata is my mate” Naruto said as he put his bandages back on and he hugged her.

 

“by the way, make sure you can access your seals from behind the bandages, in order to activate or disable them you have to touch it and push some chakra through it…the only one that has no effect is the summoning, and that is just like a contract, no chakra, only the chakra needed for the summoning” Naruto said as he activated the Chakra Flux and the Gravity seals at the same time, setting the Gravity to 2 times the normal gravity “lets start small, two times normal gravity, then we work from there”

 

The others nodded and they activated the two seals Naruto did and they set the gravity to 2 times the normal gravity for their bodies…they felt like they had weights tied to their ankles and on their shoulders. They moved around for 5 minutes, just to get a feel for the extra weight… “that feels good” Naruto finally said as he tried walking up a tree with the new chakra fluxuations going on in his body, it was hard to concentrate enough chakra while it was fluxuating, but he succeeded

 

“Shit!!” Kogamaru yelled “I forgot, the Mizukage wanted us to report to his office when you woke up!” he said as he started running toward the Mizukage's office in the middle of town…

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

3 minutes later, the demonic five were standing outside the Mizukage's office…they knocked, and the Mizukage's voice drifted through the door “enter”

 

Naruto and the others filed into the Mizukage's office, and he said “Ah, Neon, I'm glad you're finally awake, Congratulations are in order. You have achieve a level of fighting only few have achieved, I commend you”

 

“thank you Mizukage-sama” Naruto said as he bowed, making sure he was holding his chakra appropriately. The demonic five stayed standing, making sure they wouldn't break a chair if they were to sit down.

 

“Neon, I am surprised that you have become stronger than a Kage, I imagine that you life must have been a hard one, to make yourself that strong” the Mizukage said as he stood and bowed to Naruto slightly “now, there is a reason I have called you here today…I am making you 5 the leading Special Jounin in the village, you, Neon, are the leader, with Wind as your second in command. The other 3 of your group will be with you, you are know known as Team White Lighting.”

 

“thank you, Mizukage-sama” Naruto said again

 

“please choose your code names, to keep your identities secret, I am sure you do not wish to be hunted through the world” the Mizukage said

 

“I will be Red Fang” Naruto said

 

“Blue Dragon” Hinata Replied

 

“Silver Flash” Krymaru said

 

“Sand Streak ” Gaara said

 

“Dark Slash” Kogamaru finished

 

“Very good, I expect great things from you” the Mizukage said “I will assign the strongest person in the village other than me and you 5 to teach you water Jutsu's, you need to learn them if you are to pass as hidden mist Ninja”

 

“thank you again, Mizukage-sama” Naruto said as someone knocked on the door

 

“enter” the Mizukage said as the instructor for the demonic 5 came into the office, he was a very good looking man, he had the perfect body, but there were scars on his face, one scar over his left eye, and the other across his chin

 

“Mizukage-sama, you requested me?” he asked

 

“yes, Ruffis, I want you to teach these 5 as many water jutsu's as you possible can, they are fully recovered, and ready for your instruction” the Mizukage said

 

“yes sir, please follow me, sirs and ma'am” the jounin asked as he walked out of the office, being followed by the demonic 5…

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

the Jounin stopped at a training ground outside the village walls. It had a lake in the center of the grounds and the jounin turned to thm and said “we will meet here every morning at 6. We will then be practicing the water jutsus I am to teach you, until then, please do as you wish for the rest of the evening” he said as he left the group of 5 to their own devices

 

“well, lets go to our apartment, maybe we can get something to eat” Hinata said

 

“Apartment?” Naruto asked

 

“yes, while you were asleep, the Mizukage gave us a 4 room apartment to use, because we were better than most of the best people in his army” Hinata explained

 

“lets get a good nights sleep then and be here when the jounin gets here, I want to train with my seals and stuff, so ill be here at 4, so we need to wake up at 3. Keep your seals activated while you sleep, it will help improve your body” Naruto said as they walked to their house…

 

The demonic 5 ate dinner together, then Naruto and Hinata went into one bedroom, while the other 3 went into separate ones…after saying `good night' the 5 half-demons went to sleep, peacefully…at least until the next morning…
