Tales of the Elemental Nations
Chapter 1: A New Adventure Begins! The search for the Senju siblings!
Long ago, Land of Fire
A boy who appear 12 years of age with short light brown hair, green-grey eyes and distant blushes on his cheeks, and a blue konoha headband. He was wearing a dark teal poncho top and light green pants, but his most precious thing of his was a small necklace with a bluish green Crystal. The boy was jumping through trees before landing on the ground, he could hear fighting all around and was very nervous gripping his necklace.
"Calm down! Nawaki! You got this! Remember, you're the grandson of the First Hokage. Your sisters waiting for you to come home." The kid now name Nawaki thought to himself.
"The enemy is falling back! No one give chase, we're heading back!" A man called out to all leaf Ninjas in the area.
"What's Orochimaru thinking?! We got em on the Run! I say it's we go after them!" Nawaki pushed on ahead. "Coming through!"
As the Young genin ran to the battlefield someone called out to him. "Nawaki Stop! There could be a Trap!"
"I know what I'm doing! You just watch me wreck stuff up!" Nawaki said picking up speed ignoring the people behind him. Just as he saw the fleeing enemies he suddenly look down to see he stepped on something. Time seem to slow down for what he saw was an explosive tag. "What-" That was all he could say before a bright light enveloped him.
Land of fire, Tanzaku town
Nawaki jumped up from his hotel bed in a cold sweat. "Man I hate it when I have that dream!" He said apparently having this dream before.
Soon the door open to reveal a young lady with short black hair fair white skin and wearing a black robe. "Is something the matter Nawaki?" She asked in concern.
"No I'm fine big sis Shizune, just had a bad dream." The boy responded.
"It must have been that dream again." Shizune figured. "Well okay then. Lady Tsunade is already out, so get dressed and we can continue training."
"Yes ma'am!" Nawaki responded the excitement. "This time I'm going to master wood Style and reclaim my necklace!"
As Shizune close the door and walked down the hall she couldn't help but remember the situation involving her master's younger brother. For you see Nawaki died many years ago which was one of the things that's sent lady Tsunade into a deep depression which led to her leaving the village. Although a few years ago from today Tsunade and her found an unconscious Nawaki who seem to be 7 years of age. At first they thought this kid just happened to look like the deceased Nawaki until they did a DNA test and it was unanimous. They were one in the same. Shizune and Tsunade were very shocked but at the same time Tsunade was overjoyed, for some reason or another fate gave back her little brother and she promised to protect him better this time. Nawaki only remembers so much of his old life and New Life he claims to have had a friend before meeting them. But what hasn't changed is his personality and that he still wants to be Hokage, to that end he wanted the necklace back. However Tsunade refused still believing in the curse and believed her biggest mistake was giving it to him in the first place, there were a few arguments until they worked out a bet. If Nawaki could learn wood Style she will give him back to necklace which the young Senju accepted without question. "You can be to mean sometimes lady Tsunade."
The hidden Leaf Village, early morning
The hidden Leaf Village stands as one of the strongest ninja villages in the elemental Nations. However recently it came under attack by one of its former ninjas Orochimaru who used grass ninjas and sand ninjas along with a hoard of Oni to attack it. However due to the efforts of the village and its allies they managed to defeat Orochimaru but at the cost of many Leaf Ninja including its third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
It was here in a house in a nice neighborhood an elf 12 years of age was cooking breakfast for her beloved master who happens to be the village's number one unpredictable strategist Naruto Uzumaki. This was Myucel the half elf maid. Myucel was setting the table until she looked at the time and then up at the ceiling. "Master! It's time to wake up! I have breakfast ready!" Myucel said calling out to Naruto.
Upstairs Naruto was just waking up. Next to him was a girl with pink hair short hair otherwise known as Kimial Diehl his girlfriend and cousin to his teammate Sakura Haruno. She was latched on to his arm till he decided to wake her. "Kim, time to wake up I have to go meet up with Sasuke and Sakura."
Kim was groaning as she pulled his arm closer. "Just a little while longer please? Kakashi will be late anyway." Kim said crawling on top of him to keep him from leaving.
Naruto in response sat up with Kim in his arms as she laid her head on his chest. "Geez, you're so clingy this morning. Is something the matter?"
"Nothings the matter, I just don't want you to leave so soon." Kim said cuddling up closer to Naruto.
"Okay now I know something is up. Did you and Sakura have some kind of argument?" Naruto asked. Lately Kim and Sakura have been having disagreements with one another and it's only been a few days after the funeral.
"Okay, maybe we got into it last night, but she was the one that started it. Auntie and Uncle were discussing about something. Considering there is a shortage of capable Ninja in the village since the invasion, Uncle's thinking about going back on active duty meaning he'll be out on missions." Kim began. "We overheard them from upstairs and Sakura was happy believing that since he'll be gone she won't have to put up with both of her parents for a while." Kim said with an annoyed look. Sakura was going on about how now she won't have to deal with her dad's bad jokes and the probability that her mom will have less time to lecture her.
"What happened next?" Naruto encouraged.
"I called her a selfish brat, walked out, and came here." Kim explained turning around to sit on Naruto's lap. "I swear she doesn't appreciate everything her parents do for her. She just sees them as a nuisances and complains." Kim said feeling aggravated. Being someone who's lost both her parents she can't help but feel that Sakura is not appreciating the things she already has.
"That must explained why you just came through the door and just said you were staying the night." Naruto said remembering last night. "You feel better now that you talked about it?"
Kim pouted. "A little, but I'm still a bit upset."
Naruto grabbed her chin and pulled her face closer to kiss her on the lips. "Then how about I do something to make you feel better." Naruto said as he reached under her shirt and began funneling her breast. As Kim was moaning Naruto took her lips once again and inserted his tongue and began playing with her hers.
Kim pulled away in order to speak. "Didn't you say you had to meet up with Sakura and Sasuke?" Kim said although enjoying the attention she's getting right now.
"Its like you said, our sensei will be late anyway. So I think I have, ~Some-Time-To-Kill~." Naruto said saying the last phrase in a musical whisper while pinching his girlfriend's nipples.
Kim was turned on by this as she looked at Naruto with a blushing smile. "Now I definitely feel better." Kim said as she continued the kiss.
Leaf Village, gate of branches
Like usual Sasuke and Sakura are the first ones to show up. Seeing as they work alone Sakura decided to break the silence. "Hey Sasuke, I've been meaning to thank you. For saving me."
Sasuke was silent.
"When we were finding the sand Ninja. I got knocked out but you saved me." Sakura explained. When she came to she saw herself in Sasuke's arms leading her to believe that he saved her from Gaara.
However Sasuke had some breaking news for her. "I didn't save you. It was Naruto."
"Naruto?" Sakura said a bit surprised before chuckling a bit. "Oh your just being too modest. Sure Naruto has gotten stronger, but no way is he as strong as you Sasuke." Sakura proclaimed in her admiring tone.
"I'm not being modest, you should have seen him." Sasuke reassured her. "He risk tooth & nail to save you. Showing a power that he's never shown any of us before. I literally saw his strongest attack." Sasuke explained remembering Naruto's fight with Gaara.
"You saw Naruto's strongest attack? Exactly how strong was it?" Sakura asked now curious.
"...Terrifying." Sasuke said remembering Naruto strongest spell that he used on Gaara.
Soon enough Naruto showed up. "Hey guys, hows it hanging?"
"Your late as usual." Sakura responded.
"If Kakashi's not here, I'm not late." Naruto countered.
As if On Cue, Kakashi appeared in a puff of smoke. "Good, you're all here. You can start right away." Kakashi said putting away his book. "I have a scouting mission for you. A group of people have just settled near the village. We're not certain who they are."
"You think they might be enemies?" Sakura asked.
"That's for you guys to find out." Kakashi replied. "You're to observe them and report back on who they are, along with their numbers and position."
"Got it." Sakura replied.
"Right!" Naruto said in response.
"Let's go." Sasuke said wanting to get started.
"Before I forget, Naruto you're in charge." Kakashi said to the surprise of Sakura and the annoyance of Sasuke. "If it turns out that there are enemies sent a signal. I'll be there with backup." Kakashi instructed before leaving.
As they made their way through the trees Sakura broke the silence. "We sure have been getting more C rank missions then D ranks lately, also Kakashi sensei hasn't been what us for most of them. They must finally see us as capable Shinobi now. Right Sasuke?" Sakura said to her Crush.
"I wouldn't say it was that. Given the casualties and the still injured Shinobi they need us to do more missions to make up for the lack of manpower." Sasuke replied.
"As for Sensei not being with us lately, he's getting missions that require Jonin level skills." Naruto explained. "So he's needed elsewhere, leaving me to watch over you two while he's gone."
"Me and Sasuke are capable of handling ourselves, so we don't need you to be in charge." Sakura protested feeling a bit. "I still would rather follow Sasuke then you any day!" Sakura hufft turning her head the other way.
Naruto sighed at Sakura's stubbornness. "Day's gonna come Sakura, you two won't always have me around."
"Heff. Like I need you around anyway.." Sasuke said speeding up.
"See what you did Naruto, you made Sasuke upset!" Sakura speeding up the catch up with Sasuke.
"I was just being honest." Naruto said before he notice something. "Everyone incoming!"
Sasuke was the first want to notice the explosive wire traps and jumped over them. However Sakura wasn't fast enough and hit the explosions which caused Naruto to be disoriented as he fell the trees and landed on the ground. There waiting for him were 3 Renegade ninjas.
"You know what to do with her." The one in the center clearly the one in charge said to the guy on the right before turning to the guy on the left. "You go get the other one!" As soon as they left he turned his attention to Naruto. "Now it's just you and me! Leaf Village scum!"
"Your going to wish it wasn't!" Naruto said taking out his bo-staff. They soon got into it where Naruto easily dodged his right hook punch and delivered an elbow shot to his gut and then kicked him in the air. He used a shadow clone to throw him in the air and deliver a dropkick sending him plummeting to the ground. The Renegade Ninja got up and threw an explosive kunai at Naruto who just grabbed it and through it further in the air where it exploded. "That takes care of the signal. Now to get rid of him!" Naruto landed back down where is the enemy Ninja try to charge at him. Naruto used a slip spell making him lose his footing and then put his hands on the ground and delivered a sidekick watching him backwards. In some last-ditch effort he took out two concussion bombs and threw them at Naruto who used his bo staff to protect himself. When the smoke cleared Naruto.
Clearly enraged the Renegade ninja called out to his comrade. "He got away! Someone find him!"
With Naruto he was running through the area while avoiding detection until he spotted Sasuke just finishing off 3 enemy Ninja with a Sharingan activated and sword just being sheathed. He turned around to see Naruto. "Naruto. It's about time you got here."
Naruto looked around. "Where's Sakura?"
"Wasn't she with you?" Sasuke said.
"I thought she was with you!" Naruto said now worried.
"I'm fine." Said Sakura coming out of the bushes. "Sasuke, as soon as I saw you, I knew you save me."
Ignoring Sakura's admiring Sasuke's spoke. "We need to go warn the village!"
"I already sent a signal reinforcements should be on the way." Naruto informed.
Team 7 then made their way back to the Village. "Who exactly are these people? Rogue ninjas?" Sakura wondered.
"No worst, they're Renegade ninjas." Naruto said as they were running. "They are ninja that have lost their Village due to war and no longer have a home."
"Then what do they want?"
"They most likely want revenge on the village if it had a hand in its destruction." Sasuke emphasized.
As they were getting closer to the Village 3 Renegade Ninja appeared. The one that Naruto fought earlier was now being led by another Renegade who had his left side of his face minus is his mouth bandaged up. "See? I told you I'd find them!" The Renegade from before said.
The Renegade Ninja began to glare at Team 7. "Do you think we let you leave so easily? After everything you've done to us? After all these years of pain!?" The leader said with hatred his voice.
The other Renegade Ninja look towards his boss. "Boss, are you sure about this? They're only kids."
However the head Renegade wasn't going to listen to reason. "What about the kids in our village? The leaf Village didn't say 'They we're just kids' back then. They didn't care!" The leader yelled remembering his time in the Ninja Wars. How their friends and families were cut down without a second thought, how their homes were burned down without a hint of hesitation. "We're going to burn their Village to the ground, like they did ours!" The leader proclaimed.
"Over my dead body!" Naruto said as he and team 7 prepared for battle.
"That's the idea!" The leader said taking out kunai's and throwing them at Team 7.
Naruto used his bo staff Shield to protect himself however Sakura was about to get hit until Sasuke moved infront of her and took the shot in his back. "Sasuke!" Both Naruto and Sakura yelled.
"Come join me when the job is done." The leader said to his subordinates before taking off.
"Sakura! Take Sasuke and get going! I can handle these guys!" Naruto ordered as Sakura placed Sasuke over her shoulders and ran off. Naruto then transformed his bo staff into a metal spear. "This is the part where you either surrender or get porch like a pig." Naruto said coldly.
The two Ninjas in response try to double-team him with the left one going in for sidekick only for Naruto to run in and duck under it and with one quick slash cut his leg off making him fall over unconscious from shock due to his missing limb. The last one seeing this was enraged and try to attack Naruto who simply used his spear as a javelin to do a flying hi jump kick kicking him in the face and landing on his stomach where he grab his collar and began to punch him repeatedly until he was knocked out. With those two now indisposed Naruto went to catch up with his team when he saw them on the other side of a bridge. "Naruto! They've rigged the bridge with paper bombs! Hurry!" Sakura called out.
Naruto Focus chakra in to his feet and began to Sprint through the bridge as the paper bombs were going off. He was close to the end and jump to avoid the huge explosion and was launched forward before barely landing on his feet. "Let's keep going!" Naruto called out as they continue to make their way back to the Village.
Soon enough the Renegade leader appeared from above. "This time. I'm taking care of you myself!" The Renegade leader said Landing behind Naruto in about to strike him from behind. Before he could reach him Naruto backflipped over him and then used another slip spell making him slip while running into a tree. Before he could get up to attack again a shuriken hit the tree he was against while cutting his cheek slightly.
Naruto looked right at him with a warning expression. "All your guys are down and out, we have reinforcements on the way, and your back is literally against the wall. You've lost."
The Renegade leader knew himself that he was done for but he would not go down without taking his vengeance on someone. "Well, if the leaf Village won't fall today, you and your friends will!" The Renegade said taking out his weapon and doing one final charge at Team 7.
Naruto was about to intercept and possibly kill him when Kakashi appeared and sucker punched him in the face knocking him out. "If it's Revenge you're after, maybe you should pick on someone who was actually alive during the third great ninja war. Me for example. ." Kakashi said as 2 more leafninja appeared. As they were taking the Renegade ninjas away Kakashi looked at the leader. "A lot of awful things happened back then, on all sides. But killing more people won't bring anyone back." Kakashi lectured as he was being taken away. "That's the trouble with revenge. Even if you get it, you're still left with nothing."
Naruto couldn't help but look at the Renegade ninjas. To be honest they didn't look like they had anything left to lose. "I know what it's like to want revenge. But there has to be a limit at how far you're willing to go, otherwise you're no different then the person you're trying to get revenge on!"
Soon Kakashi turned his attention towards his Squad. "Good work everyone. Sakura, you and I will take Sasuke to the Infirmary."
"What about me?" Naruto asked.
"You'll be working with Jiraiya, and Wasabi now." Kakashi said motioning towards Jiraiya and Wasabi who apparently showed up.
"What?" Naruto said surprised not expecting to see his Godfather today. As soon as they left Naruto went over to the two. "So where are you dragging me to this time Jiraiya, and why is wasabi coming along?"
"The professor wanted me to give you some things. That and I have some business in tanzaku town." Wasabi explained.
"Also this isn't just any trip. We are looking for an old friend of mine." Jiraiya explained.
"Really? Who is it?" Naruto asked curious.
"I'll tell you on the way." Jiraiya said as the sannin and two kids left on their way.
In the forest near Tanzaku town
Nawaki was training with shizune. First with chakra control which Nawaki found boring considering it was them meditating. Next up was combat training which the young boy preferred although against a well-seasoned Ninja like Shizune he found it difficult then he was hoping. Soon enough it was on to Ninjutsu training. Shizune set it up balloons in the air so that Nawaki could shoot them down with liquid bullet. He managed to get 10 out of 15. She then had him practice mud wall which was fairly easy.
"Well it seems your Water style and Earth Style are greatly up-to-date. Good job Nawaki." Shizune said. She then had Tonton set up a training dummy. "Now its time to practice on solar beam."
Nawaki was now sweating nervously. "Any chance we can skip this one I go straight to wood-style training?"
"No!" Shizune replied.
Gulping down Nawaki put his hands together before moving them to his right side and began to focus as he charged solar energy into his hand. One of the few things they were able to discover was that Nawaki could absorb solar energy which radiates from the Sun. They managed to deduce that solar energy was somewhat similar to light energy but was an outer energy of it where light energy was an inner energy. Nawaki then had an orb of bright yellow energy I was struggling to keep it together before finally launching it. "Solar Beam!" He said as he fired the yellow energy however he was pushed back towards the tree and the blast didn't hit the dummy.
Shizune sighed. "You overcharged it again! I keep telling you to take your time!" The older woman lectured.
"But it takes too long! What if my opponent won't give me the time to charge it?" Nawaki argued back.
"That's why we're working on charging and maintaining first instead of absorption speed." She motion towards a spot behind a dummy that have a small crater before pointing to the dummy itself. "Sure the attack was powerful but what's the point if it doesn't hit the enemy. Your just wasting energy at that point." Shizune then saw Nawaki blowing on his hands seeing they were slightly burned. She then walked over and began to heal them with her medical ninjutsu. "And this is the other problem. When you absorb to much you end up hurting yourself in the process. This is why we do the meditation, so you can control just how much solar energy you are taking in and letting out."
"But in battle anything can happen in the span of a minute. If my attacks aren't fast and powerful I'll lose before the battle even begins." Nawaki voiced out.
"Combat isn't about overwhelming your opponent with strength and speed. It's about controlling the flow of battle. You can't do that if you always charge in hoping to end it in one strong attack, your opponent may have something to counter it." Shizune countered.
Nawaki groaned in annoyance. "Can't we just focus on wood-style training? I already have Water and Earth down. I also managed to do it once 2 years ago." Nawaki said remembering the first time he used wood Style.
"That was only because you used solar energy with it. You haven't been able to do it since then." The medical Ninja then finished healing him before getting up. "We should head back, I got a call from Tsunade. She seems to be actually winning!" Shizune said excited.
Nawaki on the other hand seemed worried. Anytime his sister seem to have a winning streak meant something bad was about to happen. As they were walking back there was something on Nawaki's mind. "Hey Shizune, that big giant guy along with those ninjas that I saw you guys with a few days ago. Who were they?"
"They were Cloud ninjas. And the big guy was the Raikage. One of their comrade got into a fight with someone of the black Spider Clan and was in critical condition. He wanted lady Tsunade to heal him." Shizune explained. They didn't want to help them at first because of the tense relationship between the villages. But the Raikage was persistent in challenge Tsunade to an arm wrestling competition which he won.
"Really? Because you two didn't seem too happy to help them and you asked me to go out for a while." Nawaki said remembering the look of distrust on the two women's faces and how his sister told him to go away for a while until they left. "Last I checked we were allies with them?"
"A lot has changed Nawaki. And the cloud has not been very friendly with us over the years." Shizune explained. "As for why we needed you gone for a bit was the keep them from seeing you. The last thing we need is for the hidden Cloud Village to know that we may have a wood style user." Shizune knew that they would try to take Nawaki for his abilities if they suspected what he may be capable of.
Meanwhile on the path leading to tanzaku town
"What!?" Naruto called-out surprised. "An election for the seat of Hokage. But Unohana sensei was already chosen to be the next Hokage. Why does she need someone to run against her."
"Elder Koharu and a few others on the council want to have the people decide who's our next Hokage should be. Even so with so much going on and a lot of people still injured, Retsu has her hands full being the head of the medical division and head of the village. So she actually does need Tsunade back in the village." Jiraiya explained.
"Why do I smell the hint of treachery in this?" Naruto said sarcastically. "I can understand why Koharu doesn't want her in office. But why would some people not want Unohana to be Hokage? She literally fits the qualifications." Then out of nowhere he heard the sounds of a crow and look to see said crow looking at him. It squawked a bit before flying away. "Now that doesn't happen everyday?"
"Is something the matter Naruto?" Jiraiya asked.
"Its nothing just a bird, we can get going." Naruto replied as the three began walking.
They soon stop to take a break. More like Jiraiya saw a group of girls playing by a river and decided to do some 'research' for a bit. "We haven't even made it halfway and he's already having us stop." Wasabi said annoyed. "I find it hard to believe that this man is a spymaster."
Naruto nervously laughed while rubbing the back of his head. "I know he may not seem it at times, but when it comes to his job, he knows how to get the job done." Naruto then looked to see a men who seem depressed. "Hey sir, is something the matter?" Naruto asked to walking over to him.
"Oh don't mind me, I just lost my boat the Bandits." the depressed man said.
"Man that sucks." Wasabi commented. "Wait? Bandits don't usually attack during the day."
"They've been starting to come out during the day because they're afraid of the hooded figure that comes out at night. We usually hire ninjas to drive them away but now they have their own problems." The man explained.
Naruto facepalmed in annoyance. "The Bandits are so afraid of me that they're willing to start stealing more during the day. Well something says I better correct defy that! Wasabi, you stay here. I'll go get his boat back from the bandits." Naruto said walking off.
"Is he crazy?! Those Ruffians could kill him!"
"Don't worry sir, he'll be fine. I be more worried about the Ruffians!" Wasabi said.
With said bandits, they were laughing while throwing some of the boat parts around. "Man did you the look on that guy's face when we took his boat and tools?! I thought he was going to cry!"
"I know, right! Ever since the leaf Village guy attacked there have been less ninjas out during the day, that means more opportunity to steal stuff." Another Bandit proclaimed.
"Good thing to, because the hooded guy only comes out at night so we're safe to do what we want!" A bandit sitting on the boat said. "Okay! Enough fooling around. We gotta finish dismantling this boat if we want to sell the parts."
"So you guys dismantled it too? That just makes things even more complicated." The bandits look to see Naruto with his hood up. "Oh well, I'll just make one of you guys fix it up before I return it."
"And who the heck do you think you are kid?" The first Bandit said.
"Just someone who wants to give the boat back to its rightful owner. So if you don't mind fixing it up for me before giving it back I would really appreciate it." Naruto said with a friendly expression.
The Bandits couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah right! And what if we don't want to!?"
Naruto closed eyes and sighed. "Well if you don't want to." Naruto opened his eyes to reveal his cold expression with a smile. "Then I'll just have to make you!"
Back with Wasabi and the fisherman they saw Naruto coming down stream with the fisherman's boat. "See, I told you he be okay." Wasabi said as Naruto dock the boat.
"I can't believe it! You actually got it back!" The fisherman said happy to get his boat back. "How did you do it?"
Naruto just smiled. "It wasn't too hard. Me and the Bandit manage to work something out!" Back at the area where the boat used to be the bandits were on the ground moaning in pain. "Anyway those guys shouldn't bother you anymore."
"That's wonderful! Thank you so much!" The fisherman said in gratitude.
Later that evening in an inn in another town
Soon enough Jiraiya was done with his 'research' and the group went on their way. Eventually made it to an inn where the pervy Sage saw a beautiful woman. Jiraiya went to ask her out while telling Naruto and Wasabi to go to the Inn and that he be back later. They went to the end where in Naruto requested their key and then lead Wasabi to the room
"So once again he leaves us just to hang out with some random girl." Wasabi said as her and Naruto enter the room.
"Look on the bright side. He at least gave us the room key, and we now have this room to ourselves." Naruto said sitting on the bed and motioning for Wasabi to sit next to him.
"That's a good bright side as any." Wasabi said walking over to sit next to Naruto. Without another word the two of them kissed with Naruto falling backwards on the bed with Wasabi on top of him. Wasabi put her arms around Naruto's shoulders as he put his arms around her waist. "There's something I need to tell you." Wasabi whispered into Naruto's ear. "There are people after you. Ryu suspects that it's an organization of Rogue Ninjas."
"How did he suspect that?" Naruto asked.
"It was odd actually. He got the information from Falco when another bird was talking to him." The cat girl ninja answered. This led to Naruto asking what kind of bird it was. "A Crow."
"How convenient. Anything else?" Naruto said rubbing Wasabi's thighs.
Despite her need to moan Wasabi continued. "He said that you might already know, which made me wonder why he even told me to tell you this. Also he wanted me to give you this." She sat up still on top of Naruto and gave him a folder. "There are some missions that he wants you to do. So we may need to do some sidetracking while we're looking for Tsunade- Ahhh!" Wasabi moaned because Naruto grabbed and caressed her tail. Unable to help herself she began to grind her hips over Naruto.
While she was doing this Naruto opened the folder and began to read still playing with her tail. "Its not just Ryu who wants us to do two missions. There's a request from Magretta, one mission from Unohana, and one request from an anonymous client. Giving me five missions total." Naruto finished reading to look up at Wasabi. "We won't need to sidetrack for these Wasabi. Were leaving this mission."
"What?!" Wasabi said in shock stopping what she was doing. "But what about your mission to find Tsunade? You can't just abandon that."
"I'm not. I'm letting the other me and Jiraiya handle it." Naruto said in response. Before wasabi ask what he meant she heard knocking from upstairs. "It looks like he has some guests."
Wasabi looked back and forth from the ceiling to Naruto confused. "Huh?"
On the second floor Naruto answered the door. The people knocking were two men wearing black robes red clouds. The first one was of average height with black hair and red eyes that were clearly the Sharingan. The second one was much taller with blue shark like skin, blue hair, and the Giant bandage sword on his back. These two were Kisame hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha. "And who are you people?" Naruto demanded.
Itachi looked at Naruto. "Naruto. We need you to come with us."
"And what if I refuse?" He said in response.
"You don't have a choice in the matter." Itachi said before Kisame began to speak.
"Hey Itachi. It would be a real pain if this kid started running. How about I jump off a leg or two, just to make things easy." Kisame advised eager to cut someone up.
"You want to play the threat game, Fish boy? Then here's one for you. You two leave, and I don't grab that sword of yours and chop off both your legs!" Naruto threatened back. "And just cuz I'll keep the sword."
"You wouldn't be able to lift it or hold it for that matter." Itachi commented.
"That's it. Now I really am going to chop off your legs! And your arms too, just to make sure." Kisame said taking out his shark skin and preparing to strike at Naruto until Jiraiya appeared and block the sword.
"Well, well, well. I wondered if I couldn't draw you guys out. I knew it was Naruto you wanted." Jiraiya said holding back shark skin.
"Your right. Naruto is the prize that the Akatsuki are after... And we well have him." Itachi assured the sannin.
"Akatsuki?" Naruto said confused.
"There's no way your getting Naruto." Jiraiya assured back.
"We'll see about that." Itachi challenge as Kisame and Jiraiya broke their Clash.
"Actually, this is all very convenient." Jiraiya began. "I can eliminate you both at the same time." Jiraiya said preparing to attack.
However an unexpected voice called out. "Stay out of this!" Everyone but Itachi turned to see Sasuke with an angry expression on his face. "He's Mine!" Sasuke said with a Sharingan glare
"Sasuke?" Naruto from upstairs and downstairs said not expecting him to show up.
"...It's been a long time, Sasuke." Itachi said not turning around.
"Huh. The Sharingan. And he looks an awful lot like you. Itachi, who is this kid?" Kisame asked.
"He's my younger brother." Itachi answered.
"That's strange, cause the way I heard it the whole Uchiha Clan was wiped out...by you." Kisame said.
This seemed to anger Sasuke even more. "It's just as you said, brother. I've fostered my hatred for you all this time. I've lived my life for a single purpose...to see you Die!" Sasuke proclaimed.
However. Itachi didn't seem the least bit concern. "Sorry, but you don't interest me at the moment."
That sentence alone set Sasuke off. "Well, GET INTERESTED!" Sasuke roared activating Chidori and charging right at Itachi with full intent to kill. However in one swift movement Itachi grab Sasuke's wrisk before breaking it "AAAAAAAHH!" Sasuke said before Itachi kicked him towards the wall.
"He?...He actually grabbed Chidori right before it touched him?" Naruto said shocked.
Itachi then went over and grabbed him by the throat and lift him off his feet to face him. "You still don't have enough hatred to beat me. And you know something? You never will." Itachi said before unleashing the Mangekyou Sharingan on Sasuke.
Back in tanzaku town, late evening
Nawaki couldn't help but turn around when he and Shizune just entered town. "Is something the matter, Nawaki?" Shizune asked.
"I...I don't know? I just felt like something bad just happened." Nawaki said in response. "Sasuke. I wonder what you're doing right now?" Nawaki then saw a pole with wanted posters without shizune looking he went over and snagged some of the posters and went back over before Shizune could notice.
Once they made it back to the hotel they saw Tsunade already passed out from drinking with suitcase full of money most likely from her unknown the winning streak. "Looks like lady Tsunade decided to celebrate without us." Shizune said sweat dropping. "You go on to bed Nawaki. I'll go gets your sister to bed." Shizune told nawaki as she began to help Tsunade to her room.
"Sure. Night Shizune, goodnight big sister." Nawaki said leaving for his room.
"Night gaki." Tsunade replied slightly conscious.
Once in his room Nawaki laid the posters in front of him before smiling. "Its about time I see just how strong I've become. Then maybe big sister and shizune will think I'm strong enough to get the necklace back." He then took out his phone and made a call. After a few rings someone picked up.
"Hello?" Said a female voice on the other line.
"Hey Xion, are you busy tomorrow?" Nawaki asked.
"No. Why you ask?" Xion asked.
"I've got something for us to do tomorrow." Nawaki answered before going on about his plan. "So what do ya think?"
"I think you're just looking for trouble again." Xion replied. "I'm sure there are already ninjas out there preparing to hunt those criminals. Why should we get involved?"
"Because whether or not my sister admits it, I'm still a Leaf Village Shinobi, and a Senju. So it's my responsibility to help bring those criminal in!" Nawaki proclaimed.
"Your going to do this whether I agree to help or not, aren't you." Xion said getting a yes in response. "I'll never understand this selfish drive of yours. You always like playing the hero."
"That's my way of the Ninja. A ninja is someone who endures so that means we never give up on anything no matter what. So I'll never run away from any challenge I see!" Nawaki proclaimed. "That's what it means to be a ninja."
"You know, there's more to being a Ninja then that, Nawaki." Xion said trying to be realistic with her friend. "Everyone has Their Own Way of the Ninja."
"Yeahh...But mine is better." Nawaki stubbornly said.
"Your hopeless!" Xion said before hanging up.
"What's her problem?" Nawaki wondered. Soon he laid down while looking at his hand. "I'm getting stronger every day. And one day I I'll show the world that I'm back and stronger than ever. That I can overpower any enemy that comes my way!"
Back at the Inn, Night
After Itachi's tsukuyomi attack on Sasuke Jiraiya managed to force them to flee and was conveniently kicked by Might Guy who followed Sasuke. After guy left with Sasuke to take him to the hospital Naruto and Jiraiya left. This left the other Naruto and Wasabi back at the end. Naruto was sitting up in bed looking at the folder with the mission details while wearing his pajamas. "So Unohana sensei wants me to capture escaped criminals. That shouldn't be hard. Magretta wants me to pick up a 2 rare components that she ordered to be delivered to tanzaku town. Wonder what she's making? As the two missions be you want us to do-" Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Wasabi exiting the bathroom wearing a black T-shirt with green shorts with a towel around her shoulders. She had a questionable look on her face. "You have something you want to ask me?"
"Yeah. It's about what happened upstairs earlier. When did you make a Shadow clone, and how did you know those two Rogue ninjas would be there?" Wasabi demanded. She's not sure whether or not Naruto she's looking at is the real one or a clone. Also when the two Akatsuki showed up he didn't look all that surprised.
Naruto cleared his voice before speaking. "While we were traveling here, that Crow that I saw earlier looked at me. When it did I Heard a voice saying, 'your being followed, prepare yourself' before it flew off. No Doubt it was the same bird that informed Ryu's falcon. When we helped the fisherman I created a shadow clone to drive the boat back while I went on ahead to this Inn and booked us a room. Once you three made it I quickly substituted myself for the clone while Jiraiya was distracted by the girl, requested the key to the room that I booked and led you here while my clone collected the key to the room Jiraiya booked. Anymore questions?" Naruto finished explaining then asked.
Wasabi was already surprised of his first response but another question came to her. "How'd you know that they would appear at the room your clone was and not here?" Theoretically it could have been a 50-50 chance that the two Rogue ninjas could have just appeared at their door as much as the chance that they did appear at the clone's.
"When Jiraiya told me to work on my chakra control, it gave me an idea. No doubt that one of them could sense chakra 'most likely the big guy' and be able to pinpoint where I was. So I had my clone use Shadow clone Jutsu to where they could all focus their chakra to that one location, pretty much masking ours so long as we didn't do any Jutsu that would have gave them a hint to where we were." The blond ninja explained.
"Wow. You really did think that one through, didn't you." Wasabi said moving to sit next to him on the bed. "You were hinted that you were being followed and set a trap using your clones as bait. Once your clone was in danger Jiraiya with jump in and save him." Wasabi said impressed.
"That was the plan...unfortunately I wasn't expecting Sasuke to show up, and he ended up getting hurt because of it." Naruto laid down with his hands behind his head feeling a bit responsible for what happened to his teammate. These people were after him and he knew he and wasabi were probably no match for them. Jiraiya however was a different story, he knew he could handle them. So he devised a plan that would guarantee no one got hurt.
Wasabi enter the covers and huddled up next to him while putting her arms around him. "What happened to Sasuke wasn't your fault. He went charging in recklessly at an enemy who he should have known was way out of his league. You did nothing wrong here." Wasabi assured him kissing him on the cheek. "Besides. Unohana should be able to heal him with no problem. So Sasuke should be alright."
"She could no doubt heal his physical injuries. But she once claimed that she isn't very good at healing mental injuries to one's psyche. So chances are Sasuke will need that Tsunade woman's help. We should turned in. We have a lot to do tomorrow. Ryu wants us to investigate some mysterious drownings that seems to be happening to Leaf Ninjas. After that he wants us to investigate an old abandoned facility not far from here." Naruto said turning off the lights before laying back down.
"And what of the anonymous client?" Wasabi asked.
"Its from the Fire Capitol. They said they want me to come to the capital a week and a half from today to attend some meeting, and even informed that they may requests me for admission to go there. So this is just an early notice." Naruto said before turning to look at Wasabi who had a grin on her face. "What?"
"Don't what me. Someone from the capitol wants to speak with you! You impressed a lot of people during the chunin exams, so it's no surprise that some people would take an interest in you." Wasabi said moving over him caressing his cheeks. "You really are an amazing ninja Naruto." She then lower herself slowly towards Naruto's lips while closing her eyes.
"I've only gotten this far because of the people around me, and people like you to help motivate me." Naruto said remembering his training with Ryu, his mother, and Jiraiya. "With that said. Please continue to keep me motivated, Wasabi." Naruto said caressing her cheeks helping her close the distance between them.
"With pleasure." Wasabi whispered as they kissed each other.
Dream world, Hidden Leaf Village
It was a chaotic scene. There was fire everywhere with sounds of a screeching monster roaring in the background. Sounds of fighting can be heard throughout the village as innocent civilians were trying to get away. A mother and her two children or hiding under some collapse debris. "Keep quiet children. That monster is still out there." The mother whispered.
"Mommy? Where are we going?" A little girl asked scared.
"We're leaving the village sweetie and going to Ember City. Leaf Village isn't safe for us anymore." The mother said trying to comfort her children's fear despite her own.
"W-Why did this happened?" A boy said just as scared as sister. "Why did those guys kill daddy?!"
"Its because 'he!' returned!" The mother clearly upset. Just then she could hear the sound of people approaching. "We have to go! No one look back!" The mother said as she and her children ran away.
People approaching or a group of eight Leaf Village Shinobi. "I think I heard something over there. There may still be civilians here?" One of them spoke out.
"If there are we have to find them and bring them to the shelters, Fast! The enemy is closing in on us!" Another Ninja said most likely the leader. "This is our village! No one's abandoning it! We are! Saving these people!" The leader proclaimed getting a 'Hi!' from his men before hearing a chilling voice.
"No...you aren't." Out of nowhere a hooded figure wearing a black coat with two swords came in and mercilessly slaughtered the leaf Ninja. He kneeled down feeling a bit exhausted before getting up to hear a walkie-talkie. He picked it up and listened in.
"We got a problem! The shelter is being broken into! The people that we've gathered are being taken by the Violet spider unit, we need backup!" A person on the other line said.
"Sorry but this group won't be going anywhere...ever." the hooded figure answered.
"Anjin?!" The person on the phone said shocked and angry. "You woken away with this you Devil! Nawaki will stop you! The leaf Village will not Fall!"
"This Village cannot be saved. So stop fooling yourself!" Anjin said as some roaring could be heard and some explosion going off. "As for Nawaki...I'm on my way to deal with him next." Anjin crushed the radio began to walk off. As he was walking he took a moment to look at the destruction around him. "I'm sorry it had to come to this, guys. But she's left me no choice. This place is just too...evil."
Inn/Tanzaku town
Naruto and Nawaki both woke up in Fright!
"What was...What was that?" They both said confused.
