Chapter 1: A master's last wish
It had been two weeks since Naruto had defeated Pain. Konoha had been rebuilt and the Go-kage summit was about to meet. Since the defeat of Pain, Naruto had been mostly resting. But he had this feeling it was all about to end.
"NARUTO-KUN!" screamed a high-pitched voice.
'Oi…right on cue' thought the blonde-haired shinobi.
As he thought, Naruto's pink-haired kunoichi teammate Sakura Haruno ran up to him. Naruto sighed and stood up.
"What's up, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked his teammate
"Naruto-kun we found a list!" panted Sakura
"So? What does a list have to do with me?" asked Naruto
"Naruto the list was a list Jiraiya had written of things to do with you after was your training was complete!" Sakura said bluntly, leaving Naruto with a startled look on his face "Tsunade-sama wanted you to see it before Pain attacked, and now that that's over, we want you to see it! Come on!" Sakura finished as she grabbed Naruto and ran with him to the Hokage's office.
Naruto and Sakura entered the office of the Hokage, leader of Konoha, and found a long list sitting on the desk. It listed multiple things that Jiraiya had talked with Naruto about doing, but never got around to doing. They noticed that almost everything had been crossed off, and that the second to last 'find Nagato and introduce him to Naruto' had been recently crossed off. There was only one item left. It read a simple phrase in large bold letters one simple sentence.
'RECRUIT THE SHINOBI RIDER'
Naruto touched what he assumed were the last words his master had written and suddenly, a bright light burst forth from the paper, and a map floated down. It depicted a route to a remote spot in the hills, and Naruto simply gaped at it.
"Jiraiya-sama must have sealed this in the list and set it to respond solely to your chakra just in case something happened to him…" Sakura said as she looked to Naruto. She saw a determined look on his face, and knew what he was going to do next.
"Ikuze, Sakura" said Naruto, and he walked out of the room.
After days of traveling, Sakura and Naruto came across a large property, with two clan flags depicting sideways hourglass-looking symbols stood at the front. They entered the property, and were met by a light skinned man with short, spiked, silver hair. The man was wearing a trench coat with the clan emblems and a black-and-white gi and a belt with a hexagonal buckle bearing the clan symbol. On top of the buckle is a button.
"Can I help you?" asked the man
"H-hai. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. Shinobi of Konoha, student of Jiraiya of the sannin" stuttered Naruto.
"OH! Your Jiraiya's pupil. He said he and you were coming long ago but never showed up. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Zaku Kusakabe. I own this land, and am the last remaining of my clan." Zaku said. At the last part of the sentence, Naruto cringed, remembering Sasuke. "well my friends, shall we go inside?"
Once inside, the trio enjoyed a cup of tea and began to talk.
"So how is Jiraiya, Naruto?" asked Zaku after a sip of tea
"…Jiraiya-sensei is dead. It was his last wish that we recruit you" Naruto said solemnly. Upon hearing this, Zaku hung his head. He was about to say something when they heard yelling from outside. Running out to investigate, they find a troop of bandits. 5 goons of average build and carrying weapons. The leader is huge, having abnormal muscles and carrying a guillotine.
"OY KUSAKABE! WE WANT ALL YOU GOT! HAND IT OVER! NOW!" screams the leader
Zaku sighs and says "excuse me. This will only take a moment." Upon finishing his sentence, Zaku whistled loudly and a mechanical grasshopper jumped into his hand. One side of the grasshopper was green with a red hexagonal light at the base of the legs and the other was red with a green hexagonal light at the base of the legs. Zaku pressed the button on his belt buckle and it opened, revealing a slot big enough to fit the grasshopper. He held up the grasshopper to his face and uttered a single word as he slid it into the slot.
"HENSHIN."
"HENSHIN." Said a mechanical voice emitting from the grasshopper.
Green light spread over his body in hexagonal plates, and as the light faded, it was replaced by armor. When it was finished, the armor was completely visible. It obviously had a grasshopper motif, with a black bodysuit underneath the plating. The main armor was green, and the armor covering the test formed an X with silver trimmings. On the legs there was no armor except some trimmings on the side. On the left leg was a golden grasshopper leg, and it rested on a track for a hinge that rested on the top. On each shoulder was a single spike. The helmet resembled a grasshoppers head, with one horn on the front, above two large red eyes, and two in the back. The mouth plate resembled golden grasshopper mandibles, and there were two plates draped beside the chin. The red eyes flashed, signaling the transformations finalization.
As the transformation finished, the mechanical voice boomed "CHANGE KICK HOPPER"
Zaku cracked his neck and chuckled. "It's been awhile since I've had some good exercise. SHOW ME A GOOD TIME!" with that, he ran at the bandits and they ran at him. As they met, he kicked bandit after bandit away, never even lifting his arms. He kicked one in the stomach, and he fell down in pain. He knocked out three when he saw the mob closing around him, with the leader standing behind and laughing.
"Hmm…seems I'm in a tight squeeze so I think I'll fly." Zaku said as he flicked the legs into an upward position
"RIDER JUMP" boomed the mechanical voice once again. Electric energy surged into his legs and he jumped high into the air. He flicked the legs back down and electricity surged back into his left leg.
"RIDER KICK!" announced the
"RIDER KICK!" Zaku said as he thrust his foot forward and kicked one of the goons in the head. The hinge went down the track and locked, then sprung back up and he jumped up again. He repeated this process and bounced off all of the goons and then landed. Electricity surged through their bodies and they fell to the ground, dead.
"MY MEN! YOU KILLED ALL MY MEN!" said the leader as he charged at Zaku.
Zaku flipped the grasshopper around and slid it into the slot the opposite way, with the red side facing up.
The mechanical voice boomed once more. "HENSHIN"
The light surrounded him once more, but this time it was red. When it subsided, the armor was now silver, and the eyes were light grey, and the hinge was now mounted on his right arm.
"CHANGE PUNCH HOPPER!"
After the announcement was finished, Zaku punched the leader in the gut, and he bent over. He then flicked the legs upright once more.
"RIDER JUMP!"
"Alright big guy. Save me a spot in hell. RIDER PUNCH!" Zaku yelled as he flicked the legs into a down position
"RIDER PUNCH!"
Electricity surged into his right fist and hi punched the bandit right square in the face, spinning his head entirely around. As he hit the ground, Zaku turned back to Naruto and Sakura, who's jaws had dropped.
"What?"
