Authors note: Here is some stuff you might need to know.
Pain attacked the Leaf village but he did not destroy it, Naruto did defeated Pain using sage mode and the power of the Kyuubi and is still known as a hero. Danzo died pursuing Sasuke, and Tsunade woke up from her coma. Sasuke is still recovering from his eye transplant surgery where he received Itachi's eyes. The 4th war was never declared therefore no Kage meeting. The Akatsuki have captured all the Jinjuriki except for the Hachibi (Bee) and the Kyuubi (Naruto). All of the Akatsuki except for Kisame, Zetsu and Tobi/Madara have died, Kabuto is still roaming around with Orochimaru's cells in him. Naruto has never met Killer Bee so he has not received training to control the Kyuubi's power. Sasuke still wants to destroy Konoha, but with no teammates other than Madara, Zetsu, and maybe Kisame . It may prove to be more difficult than its worth. They are hoping the Leaf doesn't't become even stronger before they're ready. The story might start out a little slow for some people, but I assure you there is plenty of action by the end... Now it is three months after Pains defeat.
The Forgotten Bijuu
-Summoning the Forgotten-
It was another quiet day in the Leaf Village, no impending doom they have to defend against, no crazy revolution trying to over throw the Hokage. Things seemed to becoming less stressful around the village. Sakura and Ino were performing rounds in the Leaf Hospital. They still had injured from the Pain attack that needed looking after. The other ninjas in the village were training to catch up to Naruto's strength, the kid who was once the town's fool. While they're doing that he of course was eating, it seems people really like it when they are saved from death. So much so that they'll give out free food to Naruto if he simply walked into their restaurant, he has never been happier. But this peace could also be the calm before the storm, unaware to everyone, today will be the day no one is going to forget... A man was walking through a forest, he knows he's lost but that's exactly what he wants, he didn't' want anyone to find him during his summoning ritual.
"Not welcome they say... I'm crazy they say.. I'll show them. When I become world re-known as the strongest Jinjuriki they will not only accept me into their clan, I will be able to lead it." The rambling man ranted.
"Hmph, I hope I am far enough away from the Ninja villages that they won't be able to see me, or sense the no tailed Bijuu's chakra. That could really pose a problem..." The man said.
"It looks like I have to do this alone…I really wish someone would have helped me…failure will result to the end of the world as we know it….but failure also results in my death, so what do I care." The man cheerfully stated to himself.
He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. He exhaled, opened his eyes and grabbed a large summoning scroll on his back. He threw it on the ground and it rolled out several feet long. It was covered with sealing and summoning markings, with one blank spot in the middle. He bit his thumb hard and smeared the blood across the scroll from one side to the other. He took a few steps back and wove the hand signs: Boar, Dog, Monkey, Bird, Ram, Dragon. After weaving then he made an entirely new hand sign and shouted...
"I will become a god"
He brought his open hand down and smacked the center of scroll, and yelled.
"Akuma Kuchiyose No Jutsu" (Demon summoning technique)
"HA!" the man yelled out
Before he could even raise his hand he was sucked directly into the scroll and disappeared. Then moments later a giant puff of smoke filled the air around the scroll and a thunderous roar was released from the center of the smoke. The smoke cleared and a seventy foot high demon that was as black as night, now stood in the forest. It had a humanoid shape but only had three toes on each foot, and four fingers on each hand, it had ten eyes; nine closed eyes across its forehead and the tenth wide open eye underneath the nine. The nine closed eyes that harbored it's forehead blended in with the demon's black skin so well they weren't visible. Dark chakra was constantly emanating from the beast body, flowing around it like mist. It stared directly into the sky and clenched its fists... It picked up a faint smell of a familiar chakra who it has longed to devour. The beast began to walk, destroying anything that stood in its path. Its was heading towards the Leaf Village...
-Unexpected Arrivals-
Naruto walked up to the front counter of the Leaf's hospital. He looked at the woman behind the desk and said...
"Hey, uhhh is Sakura Haruno here today?"
"Yes she is... would you like me to send for her, sir?" She replied.
"Uhh no thanks I'll just find her myself." Naruto said as he turns around to walk away
"Sir, it's against protocol to let unregistered visitors roam freely in the hospital—-..." She started but was cut off by the village hero.
"I just want to see Sakura; I'm not an assassin or something." He said quickly
"Yes, I know very well who you are, we all do.,- I was just about to say that I'll make an exception for you but you..-"? She was interrupted again by Naruto
"K, thanks you're the best!" As he ran off down the hall with a large box in his hands.
"Ahhh man, I wanted his autograph." She said sadly.
A nurse nearby said...
"Ya me too, but I think Sakura is going to get more than an autograph from him" She said in a suggestive voice then winked.
Naruto slowed down to a walk and began looking around, even though he was just here a little while ago he feels like he's out of place. He has never been here without being in a critical condition before. He walked by one room and heard a soft feminine voice explaining a patients medical condition to them. But of course Naruto didn't understand a word despite his medical training. He peeked his head in the door way to see a girl with long blonde hair wearing a white doctors coat, he immediately knew it was Ino and walked right in.
"Heya Ino what's up, doing your doctoring stuff again? I can't believe you do this all day it looks so boring" Naruto was bouncing around the room looking at all the stuff he never noticed before and started looking at the charts of the patient, in Ino's hands.
"NARUTO!" Ino yelled, and Naruto jumped back and grabbed his chest.
"You can't just barge into people's rooms then start looking at their information, it's not proper!" Ino Scolded.
"Ya didn't have to scare me half to death jeez..`` He said still clutching his chest. ``Fine I`I'll go... Wait! Have you seen Sakura recently? Actually, never mind I`I'll continue my adventure looking for her myself" He turned around and walked out the door. He looked left…then right… he found himself staring right at an unimpressed Sakura standing there tapping her foot out of annoyance.
"Oh! Hey Sakura I was just looking for you" Naruto said excitedly.
"Oh really? Then why were you bothering the patients!... and the staff!" Sakura shouted coldly.
"Sorry Sakura, that wasn't`t part of the plan. I wanted to surprise you and say hi,- and maybe if you haven't already eaten you'd like some of this" Naruto held up a large gift box.-
Sakura looked surprised that Naruto would do something like this.
"What's in it?" said Sakura curiously then pulled him back a few steps so they're out of the door way.
"Well I was going to bring you some ramen, but it was getting really hard to get it here without it spilling and stuff, plus me alone with ramen is a bad idea" Naruto said. He smiled and scratched the back of his head.
"So I thought about what you said you liked... and I couldn't think of anything." Sakura looked unimpressed again but still curious.
"Long story short I brought you a bit of everything I thought you would like." Naruto smiled and looked down. "I uhhh hope you like it." he said.
Sakura started to blush then gently took the box out of his hands, slowly brushing the sides of her hands against his. Naruto looked up and his smiled stopped, now he just looks surprised.
"Thanks Naruto, I haven't had a chance to eat yet. Ino! I'm going to take my break now ok? Send for me if you really need me." Sakura said to Ino.
"Alright then Naruto, I have a nice place for us to eat, follow me" Sakura commanded gently as she turned around and waited to see if Naruto was following her.
"ALRIGHT!" said Naruto excitedly. He stepped beside Sakura as they both began to walk.
"So what'd ya bring me? Nothing that would counter my diet is it?" Sakura said while looking around the sides of the box.
"Wait you're dieting? I couldn't tell...,- I just brought stuff that looked tasty" Naruto said with a shoulder shrug.
Sakura turned and punched Naruto on the top of the head. "What do you mean you can't tell I'm dieting? Are you saying I look fat!" Sakura said angrily.
"Ohhh man why do you always hit me, and why is it only me that you hit?" Naruto asked while holding his head with both hands.
"Cause you're the only stupid kid I hang around" Sakura quickly replied.
"What did I say? I just didn't notice you were dieting... Not saying you were fat, just... We don't hang around outside of missions so how am I supposed to know this stuff." Naruto said while rubbing the newly formed knot on his head.
"Wow, I guess you're right. I never about it like that before, but we're hanging out now…and I like it." Sakura said while smiling at a lightly laughing Naruto.
"Come on, your break can't last that long lets get to eating." Naruto said while patting his growling stomach.
Naruto and Sakura both walked into the unoccupied staff lounge. They took a seat by the window. Sakura placed the gift box on the table while Naruto stared at her anxiously, coming up with all these made up fantasies of what she'll do when she opens the box. Before Sakura took the lid off she paused to consider if this could be one big prank and a fake spider will jump out at her or something to that extent. Regardless she still opened it. There were a few separately wrapped items and one smaller bag. She took the one closest to the top and opened it. It was two sweet dumplings from the expensive restaurant in the market. She held them up like she won a prize.
"Ooh wow Naruto, I have always wanted to try these, I saw them in the window the other day, but I figured they were too pricey. This is awesome!" Sakura said sincerely to a smiling Naruto.
"Do you want to eat them now or open the rest?" Naruto asked curiously
"I think I'll open them all now. This is so cool... I want to see what else is in here." Sakura said
She starts by taking out all the items in the box, and putting them on the table. Then she unwrapped them one by one. She has loved every gift Naruto got her, even the ones she didn't't like she said she loves. There was one left, this one was in a small bag. He picked this one up for her.
"This isn't food so please try not to eat this one." Naruto said jokingly.
She cautiously opened it after he handed it to her. Sakura was scared at what it might be. She wasn't't concerned if it was a prank she was just nervous. Sakura hasn't't seen this side of Naruto before, she put her hand in the bag and grabbed something soft and plushy. She pulled out a plush toy of the nined tailed fox, it is in a sitting position and looked nice and innocent. She stared at it blindly and tried to hold back tears as her throat and eyes began to swell.
"Hope you like it, they sell them at the gift shop down town now, I thought that you could look at that and realize that even though the Kyuubi is a violent beast, there is a gentle side to him." Naruto said softly starring into Sakura's red eyes.
Sakura reached over the table and hugged Naruto tightly, and said...
"This is the best present I have ever gotten, and I'm glad you gave it to me." Then she kissed Naruto on the cheek and slowly rose to walk out of the room with the plushy in her hand and her other hand to her face. Naruto smiled and sat back in his chair feeling pretty good about it all working out how he wanted it to. All Ino saw was Sakura looking like she was crying and running to the bathroom. Ino quickly walked into the room and glared at a proud-looking Naruto.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO NARUTO!" Ino screamed across the room.
"Gahhh!" Naruto said in surprise while falling off his chair.
"What? Nothing?... What did I do? Why are you mad, uhhhhg!" Naruto asked quickly and defensively.
"Then why the hell is Sakura crying? You two were just talking together right? Ino retorted offensively.
"Ohhh boy, don't worry, Sakura isn't mad at me. It's actually quite the opposite." Naruto said calmly.
"Then what happened? All I see is a loud mouth idiot sitting here while Sakura is crying in the restroom.
"Man... You girls and your assumptions it'll be the end of them one day." Naruto thought to himself. "K, so, I came here to surprise her and I gave her these miscellaneous gifts I thought she'd like. To my surprise, she loved them more than I thought, especially the last one she just opened. It was a plush version of the nined tailed fox that looked all cute and stuff. She loved it so much she started to cry and ran off, after kissing me of course, it was pretty awesome." Naruto recapped with a satisfied smile.
"Really Naruto, you did all that for her?" Ino said in a surprised tone.
"Yup, I kind always wanted to do something like that but never had the nerve, but now my confidence is pretty high, so, ya, I did it" Naruto smiled and put his hands on his head and smiled.
Ino stared at Naruto with surprise, she always thought he would be an immature idiot, but now she thinks he actually cares.
"Well, that's good I think I'I'll go see how Sakura is doing now, k?" Ino said in a rushed tone.
"Sounds good Ino, I don't want to make an awkward scene so I'll think ill go now." Naruto stated.
Naruto stood from his chair and Ino began to speed walk in the same direction Sakura ran off to, Naruto went the opposite way. He was heading for the exit when a ground breaking rumble shook the building, causing the floor and roof to crack. Screams of random people in hospital could be heard all around as people ran for safety. Naruto ran outside as fast as he could looking to find the source of this sudden chaos.
"What's going on... Is the Akatsuki here! Have they attacked!" Naruto yelled out to anyone who would answer.
Guy sensei jumped down beside Naruto...
"No, its not them, were informed that its a huge creature, and its right outside of the Leaf. It looks like it wants to destroy it." Guy said.
Lee, Neji, and Ten Ten jump down beside Guy and Naruto, Lee standing strong, Neji panting lightly, and Ten Ten heaving for breath.
"We will march right up to this mysterious foe and show it the might of the Leaf!" Lee said with a fiery attitude.
Ten Ten was still breathing loudly and looked up at Lee like she wants to kill him.
"Do you really think attacking something of that caliber without any knowledge of it what so ever is really a good plan Lee?" Neji said obnoxiously.
"We know it is going to attack our village, and that's all the info I need to bring it down, with the power of youth nothing can stand in our way, HIYAAA!" Guy shouted with his fist clenched up by his head and confidence in his voice.
"Hey guys... Not to... Spoil your moment or... Anything, but that... kinda looks like a... Bijuu and don't they like... Never die... Or something..." Ten Ten said in between deep breaths.
"People only say that because I have never been fighting one long enough to bring it down" Guy said confidently, with a thumbs up and smiles.
"Guy sensei is right, any foe can be defeated if you really put your heart into it, now lets gooooo!" Lee said anxiously.
Neji and Ten Ten, both sigh loudly, then Guy and Lee ran off leaving Neji, Ten Ten, and Naruto behind.
"Hey wait I want to fight the Bijuu too, save some for me." Naruto said while running after them.
"Looks like we have no choice since Guy is our sensei we must follow." Neji added.
"Why am I always around boys? Why can't they put me on an all girls team this kinda stuff would never happen to me." Ten Ten said sadly then her and Neji both ran side by side after Naruto.
The village alarm echos down every street to alert people of the impending danger...
Authors note: First off I wrote all of this before I even watched Naruto shippuden movie 2: Bonds. I swear. I watched it afterwards and the similarities were kind of frightening. But it gave me a cool story plot. I have many things to say and apologize for, for one I couldn't decide on past or present tense so unfortunately it's a mix of both, there might still be some present tense in there despite me and my Beta's rigorous searching. Also this is the first story I have written so my format and style probably sucks. I want to add music to some sections also; I will add links to songs I think go well to certain parts. I'll try hard to keep the characters in character. I don't expect to have such huge posts in the future this is kind of just a hook and I REALLY! Hope it worked. I would really like some reviews to make it better and if you like it please let me know! and other stuff I'd like to know as well. Please link my story to all your friends who you think would enjoy it, much appreciated.
