Hey everyone, this is T-Aj again with yet another story to share. I had this crazy idea about Naruto refusing to go with Jiraiya's training trip. I thought about it long enough to realise that Naruto just wasted his potential on it for naught. So, in this story, it's a what if he refused to go with him. Again, a heavily changed AU and Ooc everyone, almost everyone...
Warning 1 : Naruto is Jiraiya's and Tsunade's grandson. Also, he'll be much stronger as a result of a very EFFICIENT training...
Warning 2 : I swear that any guest review that's NOT either an encouragement nor a building criticism WILL be DELETED ASAP!
Warning 3 : Don't like? Please, don't read!
Warning 4 : I need a LOT of time before continueing this story, this will be on Hiatus. The only reason why I will post it at all is to be sure that the idea won't escape from my head...
Disclaim : I don't own Naruto. Kishimoto, shonen jump and Studio Pierrot does.
Summary : After his loss to Sasuke, Naruto took enough time to think. He decided a very different decision and took a whole another path. What will happen because of this? Will he know about his family? Will Kakashi atone his past mistakes?
Konohagakure's hospital...
"I'm glad Shika that all of you guys are safe. To be honest, I don't think I can live with your blood on my hand!" Naruto said as tears streamed from his eyes. Shikamaru smiled at this, "Well, we failed the mission. But can I ask you something? What about Sasuke? What happened?" Naruto punched the bed's table, completely shattering it. He glared at Shikamaru, "Shika, I don't want to talk about it. I need time to think, ok?"
"Alright, suit yourself. But between us, he did sell us out, right?" Upon hearing this, Naruto gritted his teeth and fists. Shikamaru though that he's angry at him, but he was mistaken, "Trust me, if it wasen't for my stupidity and giving my word to my teammate, I'd tell Tsunade-baa-chan to send her best ANBU squads and smoke that damn thing. The Sasuke I used to know is dead. He died when he was in that barell!"
Shikamaru frowned upon hearing this. Sakura and Ino will lash out at him if they'll hear it. However, this is needed to be done. Sakura however got in. She smiled at Naruto, "Hey Naruto, you're alright?" Naruto shook his head. Anger and hatered were clear in his blue eyes. "Naruto, the weather is good, no?" Naruto looked at her, "Sakura, I'm sorry about the promiss. If I wanted to keep it, I would've braught him in a coffin!" Sakura ignored him, "Naruto, when will you get out..."
"Sakura stop! You're not helping one bit!" Shikamaru said. "Sakura, I need time, ok? I'm not in a good mood! I got stabed and nearly killed by someone I was idiotic enough to call teammate, I was screwed up by you, Kakashi, and even ero-sennin! One more push, and Sasuke will be the least of you problems. That I can guarantee!"Naruto said while he leaked enough of killing intent to show that even if he's close to the grave, he's still a force to be reckon with...
"Oi Gaki, are you ready now?" Tsunade herself managed to say to her subordunate. Naruto shook his head, "Honestly, I don't know! I mean, I will betray myself if I listen to my heart. Hell, I feel that I made the biggest mistake when I promissed her..." Naruto stoped as Tsunade putted a finger on his lips. The closest woman to a mother Naruto ever had smiled at him, "Naruto, it's ok! Look, I want you in my office about seven whenever you're discharged, understand?" Naruto noded before he laid down and slept...
One week latter..
Hokage's tower, seven in the morning...
"Tsunade-sama; why are those two useless perverts here with me?" Naruto asked in irritation as Jiraiya and Kakashi were with him. Tsunade sighed, "Naruto, can I ask you what those two taught you, and how?" The said two men shivered as they now realised their impending doom...
"Tree walking, and teamwork, was Kakashi-sensei's teaching. Nah, kidding! He taught me a bit about teamwork and Sakura helped me a LOT with tree walking. Jiraiya-sensei was much better, water walking, kuchiyose no jutsu, rasengan, and how to get Kyubi's chakra... But how he did so, I'll never forgive him!" Naruto said while pointing at Jiraiya. He actually had enough. Was he trained with more attention, he would've been able to overpower Sasuke. He honestly thanked Jiraiya for his help, but how he helped him was much worst than he can take...
"Naruto, what do you mean by how? Jiraiya! Sit your ass down, NOW!" Tsunade raged at her teammate, "I swear on the Senju's souls, that if you go now, I'll make sure to ban your books in each and every corner of the globe! And to finish the job I started when I caught you red-handed!" Jiraiya did what she ordered him. Kakashi was now sweating to the killer intent leaked by TWO very pissed off blonds...
"When he was teaching me Kushiyose no jutsu, he was peeping on girls despite my constant cries for help. When he tried to make me use the Kyubi's chakra, he pushed me to a freaking pitless chasm. When he taught me Rasengan, he rarely gave me any hints, and he stole ALL my damn savings! The ones that took me YEARS to do so and ALL my missions, despite him beign filthy rich!" Naruto stoped as he felt the irresistable rage and urge to kill them both, even if he have to release his tenant, his life be damned!
"I see!" Tsunade said in a very calm tone, "Naruto, lock the windows, get out, and lock the door from the outside when you get off!" Naruto made many Kage bunshins which did as instructed, as he went out, he locked the door. Soon enough, the sound of beating and cries of pain and agony were audiable...
Yakiniku Q Restaurent...
"Thanks guys for coming here!" Naruto greeted his comrades. His facial expression was grim. No matter what subject he would discuss, it won't be nice. He noted that Choji, Kiba and Neji were in the hospital. He sighed, "Shikamaru, can you talk instead? I don't feel good. And since you're the chunin, I think you're our unnofficial leader." Shikamaru membled a 'Troublesome.' Before he took a deep breath, "Ino, Sakura, brace yourselves. Naruto can now control Sasuke's fate!"
Ino's eyes widdened at this, "Don't tell me that you'll have him killed?" Sakura putted a hand on Ino's shoulder, "Naruto, since you're the one who faught him.." Naruto noded. "To be honest, I realised something. Since Tsunade-sama banned everyone from visiting me, and telling me everything, I took a whole week to think. He just don't care! Not about me, not about you, Ino, not about you, Sakura. Not even when I told him that Choji, Neji, Shikamaru, Kiba and Lee faced death to bring him back, that he cared. He tried to kill me immidiatly. He ramed a chidori right through my lung, althoug I managed to deflect it. But he did so on his OWN conscion. In other words, that Juin didn't influence him when he tried killing me!" Naruto stoped. To his surprise, Ino and Hinata smiled at this, showing him that they will respect him no matter what his choice will be. "Now, I took a whole week to think. I decided that, if I see Sasuke again, I won't hold back! I will kill him before he decide to kill anyone of you!" Naruto said this with pure anger. Anger that he knows that the Uchiha would kill his friends. But his will to protect them made Shino's eyebrows rise, Shikamar smile, Ino cry. Hinata took a glance at Sakura, who was torn between lashing out at Naruto or thank him. Tenten noded, Lee smiled...
"Troublesome. Now we have to grow stronger." Shikamaru announced. Ino shook her head, "This means no more breaks for you and Asuma-sensei. And no more diet for me!" Naruto grinned, "Everyone, take your training seriously. And Lee, you think Gai-sensei can help me?" Lee smiled at this, "Don't worry Naruto-kun! Gai-sensei accept anyone whose flames of youth burns!" Hinata smiled at this. Tenten was thinking. Naruto then sighed, "Kunoichis, take Tsunade-sama's medical program! I think it's time for me to ask her for a little help! See ya'all!" He dissapeared leaving enough money to pay his bill. "I think Naruto-san is right. Why? Because logic and common sense says so!" Shino declared, a ghost of a smile on his face.
Sakura sighed, "There's no helping it, right?" Ino shook her head, "Was it anyone else, I would've hitted, but Naruto isn't the type that abandon a friend as long as he have some hope..." Shikamaru palmed his face, "No he isn't! I know him enough!" Hinata smiled, "I think that Naruto-kun is much wiser than he shows." Tenten looked at her, "He managed to save Neji from the darkness, that's more than enough for me!"
Hokage's tower...
"No! I won't do it, Ero-sennin!" Naruto said enraged at Jiraiya. The toad sage frowned, "But Naruto, with this you'll go..." Naruto stomped hard, "No! Just look at yourself! You didn't decided what to teach me! Beside, I bet I won't learn ANY new jutsu, nor even anything cool! Just becomming a pervert like you!" At this, Tsunade slamed her hand on her desk, "Enough! Naruto is right! He would miss his chance to go through ranks. Beside, Kakashi needs to work his lazy-ass!" Jiraiya sighed, "Well, you'll miss the world, gaki!" Naruto smirked, "Who are my parents, Jiraiya-sensei?" Jiraiya gulped at this. He had been caught. "See? That's why I would NEVER accept his help! Until Kakashi-sensei get back, I won't accept a training trip that sound more like going on with NO TRAINING!" Naruto yelled at the end. Tsunade sighed, "Naruto, I think you're right. I agree with you. However, I think Jiraiya must teach you somethings like Fuinjutsu and such." Naruto grinned, "If he was better than the Yondaime, then yes!"
"Are you nuts? He was the third best sealmaster on Konoha.. Oups!" Jiraiya clapped his mouth. Tsunade grinned at this, "So, who are the best two?" Jiraiya sighed, "One of them is Shodai-sama's wife, the other is... your mother, Naruto!" That struck naruto like a lightning bolt. His face showed shoc, then nothing, then a pitless undilatable rage, "You knew? You knew this whole time and never told me? What's wrong with you?"
Naruto then turned to the wall and buried his face in his palms. He cried for a good five minutes. He had one question which he voiced, "Why? Why you never told me? Why did you even care about me?" Jiraiya stoped the bile and words before they got out. "Naruto, you can consider me as your mother. If that dosen't bother you?" Tsunade said before she was tackled by the blond teen. For a thirteen years old, he have an impressive strength. He gave her a shiny smile before he mumbled 'Thank you' over and over and over. "Now then, Jiraiya, if you will train Naruto, do it on the village!" Tsunade ordered before she continue, "Oh, and no researches!" Jiraiya held his heart upon hearing this. Naruto gave Tsunade a foxy grin before he thanked her, "Arigato, Tsunade-Kaa-chan!" Jiraiya smiled, "Gaki, why don't you call me like her?" Naruto glared at him, "Sorry, but maybe when I will forget the incidents you did!" Jiraiya's head fell as Tsunade giggled, "He got you, Ero-sennin!"
Three weeks latter...
"Naruto, are you sure that you will take us all on?" Neji asked, "But then again, what if you'll be hurt?" Naruto grinned, "Nah I won't. Beside, I will limit my power enough not to hurt you guys!" Kiba snorted, "Don't be too cheeky!" Hinata and Ino shook their head, "The pot calling the kettle black!" Ino said. Tenten and Sakura rised their shoulders. "Ready? Start the gauntlet!" Was the voice of Shikamaru, who decided to fight last. Neji immidiatly rushed to Naruto, "Hakke Rokujuyon Sho!" He yelled as his hands blurred to hit Naruto. As Neji stopped, he backed as Naruto puffed away and yelled, "Hakke Kaiten!" As he spinned and formed a chakra dome, Naruto yelled, "Rasengan!" As the two jutsus collided, Neji was overpowered little by little, until he ended up half buried. Naruto grinned, "First win!" Choji was next.
Naruto smiled, "Choji, whatever happenes, happenes. Let the better man win!" Choji noded smilling, "Baika no jutsu!" He yelled as he expanded to a sphere, "Nikudan Sensha!" He rolled at an astonishing speed while Naruto avoided all his attacks. Finally, Naruto formed a Rasengan and slamed it on the ground. A chasm was created as the chakra sphere exploded, effectively trapping Choji. "You improved a lot, Choji! You've done great!" Naruto complimented as he helped Choji up. Choji smile, "I would've been stronger Naruto, but the price is too high!" Naruto noded as he flashed a foxy grin, "I know, Choji. Just don't scare me again. I would never be the same had you, Shikamaru, Kiba or Neji died on that mission!"
Shikamaru sighed, "Kiba, Shino, I don't know about you guys, but I yield! Naruto's power increased a lot!" Naruto smirked, "Oh! So you noticed, Shikamaru? I knewed that you're a genius!" Lee sighed, "Naruto-kun, as much as I want to give you a good spar, I won't fight you until I'm one hundred percent!" Naruto smiled, "Well, to be honest, like you, I'm not truelly on my top. If I'm quarter strength, then I'm great!"
Shino shook his head, "Naruto-san, you're doing this for us?" Naruto tilted his head, "Doing what?"
Shino sighed, which shocked Hinata and Kiba, "Naruto, we all know that you never break your promisses, do you?" Naruto shook his head, "I said that I will bring Sasuke-yaro back, but I didn't say I won't bring him back in a coffin or crippled if he threatens anyone of you!" Naruto declared. "Well, in that case, I think until the next exam in Kumogakure, I will be your teacher, again, Naruto!"
Naruto recognized the voice, "Kakashi-sensei?" Kakashi eyesmiled, "Well, Jiraiya-sama went on a mission. And I asked him about you. I'm sorry if I was a bad sensei, Naruto, Sakura." The two genins smiled, "Don't be. Since we're both Ninjutsu specialist, and Tsunade-Kaa-chan will train Sakura, Hinata, Ino and Tenten, all is good, no?"
This surprised the girls. "What? You thought I won't recomend you ladies to train under a sannin?" Naruto said grinning before he was tackled by... Hinata?
"Thank you Naruto-kun! I knewed that you're a good man!" Naruto ruffed the girl's hair as he closed his eyes and smiled, "No I'm not! Jiraiya-sensei told me that I will have to kill sometime soon!" However, when he opened his eyes, he immidiatly panicked, "Hinata? Oh Kami-sama! I killed her!" Ino giggled at this, "Naruto, she likes you, a lot!"
"What does it mean, Ino?" Naruto asked in confusion. Sakura smirked, "Why don't you ask Hinata out for a date instead of me?" Naruto's eyes widdened, "You mean... no way! She's the Hyuga's heiress, isn't she?" Neji chuckled at his friend's expression, "That she is, Naruto. However, as her big brother, I won't allow you!" Naruto's eye twitched at this...
'Uh-oh! Gai, I hope you can dig a good grave!' Kakashi thought amused. Naruto dissapeared much to the astonishment of everyone and was just behind Neji with a kunai on the Hyuga prodigy's neck, "Neji, you know that I respect you as a friend and comrade, and even estimate you as a good damn genius. However, if you stand in my way, I'll kill you!" Neji activated his byakugan and glared at Naruto eyes and wished he didn't...
His blue mischivious eyes were cold. Dull, cold and can show Neji one thing : death is screaming his name. Neji immidiatly jumped back in panic, "Who or what are you?" Naruto grinned at this, "The second strongest genin in konohagakure!" Kiba yelled at this statement, "Who is the strongest one?" Naruto smiled, "Kosuke-ji-chan is a high jonin-level genin. He refused to take the hat as the Godaime actually!"
"You know the Eternal genin?" Kakashi asked. Naruto smiled, "Since the last week actually. If someone can protect Tsunade-Kaa-chan, it's him!" Ino's eyes widdened, "Tou-chan told me about him! He's a legendary ninja whose retired now!" Naruto just grinned, "So, guys, now what? You resume your clan training? Oh, and Neji? Can I carry Hinata home?" Neji shook his head, "I was honestly joking with you Nar..." Everyone, including Shino and Kakashi, yelled in unison, "NEJI IS JOKING! THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!"
"What? I'm not THAT bad, am I?" Neji asked with a sweat drop in the back of his head. Neruto shook his head, "When you pulled that stick out of your ass?" Kiba then added, "You're a stuck-up jerk!" Shikamaru added, "A real stick in the mud!" Neji was demoralized by those words...
"Naruto, let's go!" Kakashi ordered, 'Or else, Hokage-sama will kill me!' He added mentally. Naruto waved his hand, "See ya'all later guys. Yakiniku Q at seven!" He then dissapeared in a plume of smoke. "I wonder what Kakashi-sensei will teach him now!" Sakura asked no one in particular. Naruto was lucky, that's for sure...
Training ground 3...
Kakashi sighed as he watched Naruto warming-up. Truth be told, the boy is allways energetic. He thought about something before he voiced it, "Naruto, do you know the difference between Spacial recomposition and Elemental recomposition?" Naruto shook his head, "No. Unfortunatly, I heard about it just now.." Kakashi shook his head, "I thought so! Spacial recomposition or shape manipulation is like the Rasengan. Elemental recomposition or Nature transformation is like my Chidori. In short, Chidori or Raikiri is just a concentration of Lightning chakra nature." Kakashi paused before he continued, "Elemental recomposition increases the power of chakra a lot. For example, an E-rank bunshin can become a C-rank if mixed with water chakra. Remember Zabuza's Mizu bunshins?" Naruto noded, "They were strong despite everything." Kakashi eyesmiled, "There's five possible type of chakra nature : Fire, Lightning, Water, Earth and Wind."
Naruto shook his head, "I still don't get what that have to do with this training?" Kakashi sighed in frustration, "Well, I guess we need to know your chakra type now." He pulled out two piece of paper as he continued, "With this piece of paper." Naruto rised an eyebrow in confusion, "This piece of paper?" Kakashi's papper suddently crumpled, "This special paper allow you to test your affinity once you chanel you chakra. If it's fire, it will burn. Wind, it will be cut in two. Lightning, like mine, will crumple. Water will become wet." Naruto rised his shoulders as he channelled his chakra. As he did, Kakashi's eye widdened...
"No way! Wind is unexpected, but this!" Kakashi said in shoc, 'Stupid me! I had a damn golden mine ALL this time!' Naruto rised an eyebrow, "So what if two branches grew up and interwined as it's sliced?" Kakashi immidiatly grabed Naruto's collar and shook him as he said, "So what you said? You got the damn wood sub element and you tell me so what? We'll go to Hokage-sama, NOW!" Before Naruto can utter a word, Kakashi shunshined with him...
Hokage tower...
"Tsunade-sama, you wouldn't believe this!" Kakashi said as he got in with a struggling Naruto. Tsunade rised an eyebrow, "Kakashi, what does that have to do with your student?" Kakashi eyesmiled, "Er, everything Tsunade-sama. I think he's related to you, since he have... wind as an affinity, and..." Tsunade almost lost her patience, "What does he have? Speak up!"
Kakashi uncovered his Sharingan eye, chacking out the office before he said in a barely audiable voice, "Shodai-sama's Kekkei Genkai, the Mokuton!" Tsunade, who took a sip from her tea, immidiatly spitted it back, "WHAT?" She yelled in shoc.
Naruto was utterly confused. As he looked at his hand, he found the very chakra paper that was splitted in two and had two small branches interwined. "Naruto, do it again!" Tsunade ordered the boy. Naruto noded as he channeled his chakra into a new chakra paper. At first, the paper splited in two. But then, the paper turned into wood and little by little, two small branched with leaves grew up and interwined. But what happened next shocked even Naruto. Those branches grew to separate from each other after a single coil. Then, a branch's end dripped a bit of water, the other end litted up some fire as big as a lighter's flame. However, a very small lightning arc formed between the two branches for a little second. But that made Tsunade rush to a shelve and pull out a book...
"As I suspected! Naruto, it seems that you have a great potential locked inside you. The the ability of Oji-sama, and to channel chakra nature inside the wood!" Tsunade explained as she scrolled through the pages. She paused a second before she continued, "Kakashi, bring me you Kouhai!" The silver haired jonin was now scared. Any kage, no matter how old or young he is, can never speak with such a maddness unless...
"Tsunade-sama, don't tell me that you'll work my student to the bone?" The grin on her face showed everything, "No! Naruto-kun here will work to his very core!"
Naruto gulped as he felt his impending doom. He tried to argue, "Er, Tsunade-kaa-chan, don't you think..." "Silent!" She roared. Naruto fell on his back as she continued, "Naruto, you have only one year to properly use and power up your Kekkei Genkai. After this, your chances are cut in half. The next year, you may never be able to use it. Ever again!"
Naruto's eyes widdened as Tsunade closed the book. Now he had two choices. Either turning this new weapon into the sharpest of swords, either losing it. But there is allways a price for power he mused.
He took a minute thinking, "Ok Kaa-chan. I'll do it! Do you know any Mokuton user? And a wind jutsus expert?" Tsunade smiled upon hearing this, "Naruto, I think you made the right decision to stay in the village." Naruto frowned, "Tell Ero-sennin to train his ass to shape with his strongest jutsus. As much as I hate to say this, we need each and everyone to train and soar as strong as possible. If we won't be ready in three years, many of us will..." He posed as he took a grim expression, "..die!"
Tsunade frowned at this. Naruto, a thirteen years old brat was more right than a whole village. Time spent in peace made many shinobis lazy bums and kunoichis fangirls. Now it's time to change all this. It was a do or die situation. And there's no way that Senju Tsunade is going to allow many talents to die untimely...
"Naruto, there's a book about vacuum manipulation. I want you to read it and uderstand every word. Hammer it down if you have to. I'm ordering you this as both your Kage and especially as your mother!" Tsunade said with all the authority she have. Truth be told, she would never let her little gaki die on her untimely. Never again she mused.
"Tsunade-sama, Kakashi-san is here!" Announced Shizune, Tsunade's assistant. "Let them in, Shizune." Tsunade ordered as she resumed her paperwork. Naruto thought about something, 'Isn't there any jutsu that let's you know what your kage bunshins does?'
As Kakashi entered, he was followed by a tiger-masked ANBU. "Tsunade-sama, allow me to introduce Tora here to my student. Tora, Naruto. And in reverse." Kakashi said as Tora removed his mask, "Hokage-sama, do I keep my current codename or shall I have another one?" Tsunade frowned, "Yamato will be your codename." Naruto rised an eyebrow, "Really? He dosen't have a name?" Kakashi eyesmiled, "Kinoe, Tora, Tenzo and now Yamato I guess. But his real name is unknown even to him."
Yamato crestfalled, "Kakashi-senpai, why you told him?" Kakashi shook his head, "Now now Tenzo, why you're so ashamed?" Yamato growled, "Why I never get any respect?"
AC: Sorry everyone, my PC broke down. I'm torn between saying good ridence and to feel sad...
Anyway, sorry if it feels rushed, but I'll need to wait who know how many monthes.. So take care, Aj out for long...
