"Hai" - speech
Hai - thoughts
Summary- A year before the sealing of the Kyuubi, something had entered the human realm hunting the Nine-Tails. Why is it after the Kyuubi? Since the fox had been sealed inside Naruto what does that mean for are young hero? Plus Naruto has been training with Jiraiya to prepare him to fight the Akatuski and to retrieve Uchiha Sasuke form Orochimaru. What will this third factor add to the already problem filled life of Uzumaki Naruto? Fallow Naruto on his last year of training with Jiraiya and his return to Konoha and his trails with being a shinobi,. Plus a group that wants revenge against the Kyuubi? How will this affect the fate of Naruto as he learns something about his heritage.
Slowly the moon began it slow rise to the center of the sky and bringing along with it eternal companion the night.
The moon was as it always was, watching down upon the Earth as it has done, since its birth. As it has and as it always will. The earth began to sleep.
But, to some that is a lie.
Especially in a forest, nocturnal animal such as owls, bats and even insects roam the night. Searching for food or on the look out for some predators that hunts them both during the day and at night.
So these animals where the only witnesses to the black swirling vortex made up of nothing but red and black energy. It had just suddenly, appeared in one of the forest few grooves. The swirling mass appeared to a portal of some kind. Slowly something began to appear form the portal.
A Ball came through.
A Ball of energy came through.
Yes, a Ball of energy.
It was a swirling ball of blackish red floated out of the portal. Once it had cleared the portal the portal closed up. The ball hovered right there neither moving in any directions. Suddenly bolts of energy began to shoot from the ball in any direction. The bolts began to move together and started to form an outline of something.
It began to take the shape of four-legged creature. Then from the outline of the four-legged animal it began to increase in size reaching up until it was six-stories tall. Then muscles began to appear on it then with it blackish-blue fur. Two eyes that where glowing a blood like crimson with cat like golden iris.
But, what was shocking was the eight long black with one big thick red line in each of it tails
Opening it mouth you, could see that it mouth was filled with teeth that looked like they where five-foot long deadly blades instead of teeth.
" Kyuubi…" it had growled/panted out.
Then suddenly it knees began to shake.
THUUUUUDWWWWUUMMPPPP!
It crashed to the floor of the forest, destroying dozen trees, plants. The creature was panting hard each of its deep breaths made the trees around it sway to and froe.
Damn it! I used too much power! The fox will find me!
Reaching out with it weakened senses trying to locate its nemesis.
There! The Nine-tails was about ten thousand miles due west.
Good. He was far enough away. Also, he appears to be hibernating. EXCELLENT! But, my power is almost completely used up just from crossing into this dimension. As I am now the fox would kill me without so much as a thought.
It had to hide itself until its power was back to full strength.
But, how?
It couldn't let the Kyuubi know that it was here or it would lose it main trump card against it. The element of surprise that it appeared to still have.
But how was it going to hide from the fox? The Kyuubi was known for having the best ability to track or locate anyone or anything. Heck, it was capable of sensing if something or someone had been in area up to so long.
How was it going to hide from the fox?
Suddenly it picked up something else that was pretty powerful.
What that?
Humans?
No. Humans never have this much power.
But, the feel of all of the different energies' held the distinct flavor of Humans. So that could only mean that indeed it was humans.
But, the Kyuubi would never let a pathetic species like humans gain this much power. Unless, the Kyuubi was after something entirely else rather then the humans or unless it was after something a human possessed?
Yes, that it. That had to be the answer as to why the Nine-tails would allow any primitives race grow this strong.
But, what was it after?
It would have to find out first. It would have to study the humans while it regained it power. Humans… Human!
Humans!
That's it! That's my answer! Its thoughts were flooded with relief and a sadistic glee. The Kyuubi wasn't attacking the humans so then why not hide as a human.
Slowly the demon began to flow with its remaining power. It began to shrink from its six-story tall form to the size of a six-foot tall human.
The man was six-foot tall, he was well muscled but not bulky having more of a lithe figure, his hair went down to the middle of his back hanging in a loose pony-tail but his hair was the same black that his fur had been with streaks of red through out his hair, he wore a simple green tee-shirt and had a pair of silk slacks on. What was really disturbing was that his eyes where silted like that of a cat and where a blood red.
Looking down at his new temporary form. He nodded his head in satisfaction.
"This form will do for now." His voice was a deep baritone voice and it would give anyone the impression that it was a human mans voice. But, this voice had this absolute note of darkness hidden within it that which no human would or could ever be able to have within their voice.
Now it time for me to find a lair. With that thought in mind the demon in the disguise as a human, jumped to the nearest tree then continued to jump tree to tree while it searched for it new lair.
After searching for a couple for a couple hours it had found a cave big enough to hide in but it wouldn't fight it true form only it's human form. It had to hurry and rest to regain its power back before the Kyuubi awoke and found it powerless. But, if it used this cave it would have to remain as a human that would take years for it to regain its full power back. On the other hand that would give some time to find out what the Kyuubi was up to.
It wasn't the best option but it was all that it had at this moment. Moving to the entrance if the cave the transformed demon, slashed the palm of it right hand. Letting it blood flow and it covered it hands it then began to make seals that surrounded the entire entrance of the cave all 360 degrees.
When it had completed the seals it double and even checked each of the seals, when it was satisfied that all was in order then it walked outside of the cave. Sending a spark of its power to the seals. Each of the seals began to glow a bright red then slowly as if time was going backwards the opening of the cave sealed it self shut until it looked as if there had never been a cave there. Walking up to where the cave entrance had been it looked to see if the seam of the entrance was visible or not.
Seeing that it left no indications that it had been there previously the demon turned to the forest. It then headed into the forest; it had to find a couple of servants to aid it while it slept.
Three hours later it had returned with five animals with it. Three where crows, one was a wolf and the last was a squirrel. Tying them up and making sure that they where unable to escape he once again cut his palm and let his hand be covered in blood once more. Then it picked out one of the crows, and then slowly but surely it began to cover the entire crow with seals. Once the bird was covered with theses different seals then the ones that it had used to seal it cave. It summoned some of it power and pushed it chakra into the seals that covered the crow. Like before with the cave the seals began to glow bright red then they where absorbed into the crows eyes.
For a few moments all was silent, the demon carefully watched and waited for any sign that the crow was still a live. A twitch… then another… the crow began to open and close it beak then the bird gave what it would consider a full body shudder, then it moved it head and stared at the one that had covered it with the seals. Its eyes flashed the same blood red as the one that was holding it then it began to caw.
Yes… Master, what is it that you want me to do? To anyone else they would have heard the crows squawking but to the demon it heard words.
He smirked "Now just wait until I finish with the others." Undoing the bindings on the crow he then released it. It flew onto a tree branch and waited for his master to finish with the other animals.
Turning his attention back onto the other animals " Sooo… Which one of you wants to go next?" he chuckled at his question. " How about you?" he said as he grabbed the squirrel and once again as he had done with the crow he did the same thing with the squirrel, the wolf and the other two crows. Now all five of the animals had glowing red eyes as the transformed demon.
Looking at his servents he gave them instructions " Now my pets… You each shall find the Kyuubi and spy on him for me. Learn all that you can and send all that you see back to me. Now GO!"
Yes… Master." They each gave what they consider a bow then fled into the night. Each to search for their master enemy, and to spy on him so that their master could find out what it was after.
Soon… Kyuubi I shall know what you seek then, I'll crush you.
Seeing that his servents had left to search for its prey, he head back to his hidden den.
Bringing his right hand up to his mouth he bit his thumb and drew some blood. Pressing his blood covered finger to where the cave entrance had been. Then into his and through his blood he sent the nearly the rest of his power into the wall. Just like before when the cave had moved closed like a pair of sliding doors, the mountain wall slide open and the cave was revealed once more.
Entering about two feet into his new den he turned around to the right side of the cave wall and once more brought his bleeding thumb and placed it once more on the cold stone wall. Focusing his power once more he willed the cave entrance closed once more.
Reaching the very end of the cave he found, a spot that would suit it needs. Reaching to the very back wall on the left side he once more cut his palm and wrought a few more seals that took an impression of a half circle that was about three feet all around. Placing its hand onto the seals sending a little spark of power into the seals, they flashed red once then they faded into the rock bed and disappeared. For a moment nothing happened, then suddenly the cave began to shake. Where the seals had been something was emerging out of the stone wall. Out of the wall came a black marble chair ahhh… correction a black marble throne emerged form the wall. He stared at his creation for a few moments. Before he shrugged and grumbled, " It will do."
He took a seat on his throne and closed his eyes. Reaching out through his power he found the connection to each of his animal servants choosing one of the crows he was able to see what it had seen since it two and a half hours since it left. Each of his servents had yet reached to where it had sensed the Nine-tails about in a daytime the crows would reach it first then the wolf and finally the squirrel would reach it a few days later. Then the search for what the Kyuubi was after would truly begin.
Taking it continuous back to where it could study and watch all five of its servants at once. Then entered a trance that would allow it to regain its power and study the Kyuubi at the same time it would take years or maybe two decades until it had its powers back fully in this form. But, until it knew what the Kyuubi was up to it would wait and buy its time until it had all of the information that it needed then it would destroy it foe.
It would wait, what were a few decades to the thousands of centuries that it had waited to find the Kyuubi in the first place and to get into this dimension. It would wait then it would win.
When I fully awake it will be your end Kyuubi… heh… Then I Shall Reign! Heh...HAHAHAHAHA!
And so it slept.
It had been sixteen-years since that night.
Sixteen years since that, being had went into hibernation. Fifteen since the sealing of the Nine-tailed fox into it container that just happen to be a blond haired, blue eyed, whiskered birth marks on each of its cheeks, with an insane fox like grin that was usually plastered on his face boy.
That boys name was and is Uzumaki Naruto, Naruto had for the past eighteen months been traveling around and training with his master and that was the reason as to why he and his sensei where standing in a desert across from each other eyeing each other.
The sand filled hot desert wind blew across his whiskers marked face. Ignoring the sand as it ran across his face, some was getting into his eyes. He was thankful to the past three month of training that he had endured in this desert. Because of that he was able to ignore the sand and continued on with his task.
Analyzing the area of desert that he was in.
His eyes roamed across the landscape to see if he could use any of it in the coming fight.
But, all he could see where rocks, sand and sand dunes that just wouldn't help much plus the raising sun was a making the desert heat unbearable.
Naruto was learning to hate the desert with a fierce passion.
Naruto was ready as could be to get the hell out of this desert and way from it damnable heat, that he and his sensei where here for training.
Why was he training in a desert? Because, his perverted Sensei said it would be good training that was why he was here sweating his balls off.
Sure Ero-sennin had said that he needs experience in fighting in unfamiliar conditions.
But, he was so fucking tired of this kind of training. Sure some of them he could understand but, others those where so fucking useless.
He could understand fighting on water from when Kakashi-sensei had fought with Zabuza, sure he knew how to water-walk but according to Jiraiya that wasn't enough so after leaving Konoha the Toad- Sannin had immediately took him to a huge ass lake.
There he was told that he had to walk on the water fine no problem right, wrong he had to do it on while standing on his hands that had taken the whole damn day, then for the next two days he had to lay face down on the water, then on his back while laying on top of the water and not sink an inch.
Next came was cartwheels, handsprings, running, jumping, hopping, jogging around the lake, push-ups, jumping jacks, handstands, sit-ups and a whole bunch more on the water that had taken a whole two whole weeks to get all of that down. Then finally he had to learn how to fight on water against his sensei.
Once he was able to fight on the water decently by Jiraiya standards he then taught him a couple of water techniques and several fire jutsu when he wasn't do anything or practicing his Taijutsu with Jiraiya or any of his new perverted nin jutsu's that he had recently created much to Jiraiya happiness.
Jiraiya had him practicing making the Rasengan one handed without a kagebushin to help him. That had taken a whole month between his other training just to get that down.
They continued to train there for the next three months until Ero-sennin said that he had that down enough.
Then it had been tree waking all over again, heading deep in one of fire country's thickest forest, he had to relearn no handed tree climbing this time.
But, telling Jiraiya that he could do that all ready hadn't made a big with him. So Jiraiya told him to climb a tree with no hands. Picking the tree closet to him Naruto ran up it until he got to the top.
Turning his focus to the ground expecting to see an impressed teacher instead, he had an almost bored expression on.
Looking up he had yelled "That it Brat?" Getting a confused nod in return.
" That not No Handed Tree Climbing, This is real No Handed Tree Climbing!" making sure to emphasize the real.
Jiraiya slowly, began to walk up the tree next to the one Naruto was standing on. He walked all the way up to the top. Not once increasing or decreasing the speed of his walk that he had began with, while climbing up the tree.
Upon reaching the top of the tree he turned his gaze onto Naruto and slowly raised an eyebrow at his confused pupil quit calmly told Naruto that was real tree climbing. The way Kakashi had shown Team Seven had been the basic of this Chakra controlling exercise.
So then Naruto had spent the rest of that whole day and the next eleven days just get to that excise down pat.
His sensei had then made him stand on the smallest twig on the tree that he could find and balance on it with only on one toe for the next five hours straight without falling down once. That had taken two whole damn weeks after that he had to form the Rasengan and hold onto it while balancing on the twig for as long as he could.
Next came fighting on the sides of the trees or on their branches, or jumping from tree to tree while fight his sensei. The next three months passed that way the only other things that he had learnt during that time how to improve was his Taijutsu, weapon throwing and learning the basics of seal making.
After spending Five months their, they then set out to Earth Country to practice mountain climbing also how to fight on an mountain while using chakra. All the while he was learning dozens of earth jutsus and more sealing techniques, taijutsu and weapons training.
After staying in the earth country for the next six months learning several earth base jutsu's. They had set out for Wind Country home to some of the biggest sections desert and rock formations in any of the other country.
So upon reaching a town that was close enough to one of the winds country's worst sections of deserts the training commenced once more.
Sure they stayed in the village but they spent the rest of the time out in the desert training Naruto in how to fight in the desert and not to sink in the quicksand. So after learning on how to stand on the sand using chakra then came quicksand walking, sure it was very similar to water-walking but, even more difficult because the sand would move with any vibration and the movement would through off his balance then he would more or less end up with another mouth full of sand.
So while training in that damn desert he was taught several wind and lighting jutsus. Out of all of the jutsu that he had been taught the wind base jutsu had come very naturally to him.
So for the past three months he had been here, in this damn desert training.
Forcing those thoughts aside Naruto continued to looked across the desert field that he and where his opponent was now.
Moving his stare to his sensei and making sure that it was completely focused upon his opponent.
Bastard was still standing there as if he had no damn care in the world!
He was going to pay for standing there and not sweating…
Jiraiya, The Master Toad Summoner, one of The Hidden Village of Konoha legendary three greatest ninja's, one of the greatest ninja to ever come from the Hidden Village of the Leaf. His sensei was in an a relaxed stance just standing their and watching him not moving so much as an inch.
Naruto continued to try and, find an opening in the Sannin guard hoping to get a good hit in the begging of the morning spar.
But, as always there was a problem trying to find an opening on the Toad-Sannin.
Why was it a problem?
Because, Fighters like Jiraiya they had no real openings, true fighters could be picking their nose and getting drunk and not even paying attention to the surroundings area and still have not a single opening in their guard. Trust him he knows he had tried once and still the pervert still had kicked his ass.
So how do you get an opening?
Simple really. You just have to force your opponent into making an opening you could use.
But, now how as he going to do it this time?
Trying to always think of a new plan of attack every morning sucked. Looking around at the clearing once more all that he had to use was the earth. He only had two-earth type jutsu that he was able to use. Problem was the one who taught him those techniques was his opponent. Those techniques took to long to use and he had practically no control over the real destructive one that he had and they would go on in which direction they had been in the first place after releasing the jutsu.
Another problem was no method worked twice on the prev…. Heck! Even the Sexy no Jutsu and the Harem No Jutsu had only worked once on him in a fight.
That sure as hell shocked him.
After he used one method on the Toad Hermit it never would work again. For being the greatest prankster in Konoha history coming up with something new was normally that was absolutely easy, Normally he wouldn't have any problems as he would have about ten different ideas already to go but, for the past eighteen months since Naruto and Jiraiya had left their home village of Konoha to train, Naruto had to come up with a new opening every damn day and, now he was out of ideas.
Grumbling under his breath about old perverts, stupid fighting methods and not having a plan. He fell back to his old style of fighting somewhat.
He brought his hands together and made his favorite seal.
"KAGEBUSHIN NO JUTSU!"
Ten pops of ninja smoke that signaled ten more Naruto appearing on his side of the field. So with having ten shadow clones with him Naruto charge his teacher hoping to win this time.
He was SO going to pay for yesterday!
Who would've thought that the prev had a genjutsu that made ya think that you where in love with every person of the same sex that you knew plus, also made the opposites sex think ya where nothing more then a good friend. Who the HELL wanted to even think about that while they fighting for their own damn life if, the prev wasn't the one who created that genjutsu then who ever did was going to pay for creating such a vulgar jutsu.
BLEAGH.
Trying to suppress the full body shudder that wanted to come. He even didn't want to even think about that DAMNABLE nightmare he had last night either.
Sasuke and Him like that.
HELL NO!
Just thinking about that he wanted to kill himself just for thinking about that, and NO WAY IN HELL HE WAS GAY OR SOME DAMN UCHIA SASUKE FAN GIRL!
I am a MAN DAMMIT!
Because, of that he was so going to shove a kunai or twenty up Jiraiya ass, for that.
The prev was sooo… going to pay one way or another… hmmm… Maybe I should accidentally destroy all the work he done on his new book. Now that was an idea he that he just had to remember. That would be just the begging to the torment that Jiraiya was in store for him, he was going to pay for using that genjutsu on him in a sparring session.
Plus the new version of the thousand years of pain technique that he had thought up just last night so he could get the Old Bastard back he had came up with it just for him, he couldn't wait to find out how Ero-Sannin liked the new version of the technique.
A Thousand Years of Agony Revised Payback A Bitch Isn't.
Lets see how he like twenty kunai with a few explosion tags shoved up his ass yeah, that sounds like a good plan.
With that in mind Naruto directed four of his clones to attack Jiraiya head on while he and the other clones circled the Sannin and began to wait to attack hoping that his shadow clones would be able to cause the old man into making an mistake that he could use then, he would attack.
What was the brat up to this time?
Jiraiya stood calmly waiting for his apprentice to make the first move. Sure he could start the fight but that wasn't that the real reason that he always made Naruto start the fight. The reason that he had Naruto always start their fights was because of his greatest asset.
His Creativity.
In his own but, unique way Naruto was a genius in surprising people and coming up with new ideas to perform a jutsu, just like the way he had for the Rasengan. Neither he nor the Yondaime would've come up with something like that using a Kage Bunshin to help them form the Rasengan.
As he watched his student gaze move around the scenery and stopping to focus solely on him, the brat was still analyzing the area and probably trying to come up with his opening assault.
Figuring that he had a few moments he let his mind drift back through the past eighteen months since he took Naruto on as his new apprentice.
During the first week he need to what Naruto strengths and weakness where, so he could determine on how to properly train him to fight the Akatuski, so he had Naruto show him all the Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu techniques that he had in his repertory.
Which was sadly almost nonexistent beside the two jutsu that he had already taught him all he had was the basic Kawarimi, Bunshin, Henge and his regular bunshin no jutsu that was so piss poor that it would've made him laugh to death if he hadn't got all the info he could from his records from his days at the Ninja Academy and also from his first sensei's Iruka and Kakashi.
So all Naruto really had in his Ninjutsu arsenal was.
Where just the Kage Bunshin, Rasengan, Summoning, Henge, Kawarimi, his sexy no jutsu and his Harem No Jutsu.
Now that harem jutsu of his was fantastic and all but, beside those seven techniques he had nothing really to use.
The basic Taijutsu style that every Leaf Academy student was taught once they began studding at the academy, which also was the main basic fighting style that was the very core style nearly of all the leaf's fighting styles.
From what he had seen of Naruto's it was so full of flaws it made him look like a brawler instead of a ninja, he didn't even appear to know anything at all about the style at all.
It appeared that if he had never been taught the style at all and he mimicked what he knew from the other students or he was so bad at Taijutsu that even Maito Gai wouldn't even be able to teach Naruto any Taijutsu at all. He was figuring that it was the former instead of the latter.
So when he got back to Konoha he would have to break a few heads if he found out that was the reason as to why his Taijutsu was so bad.
His throwing skill with shuriken and kunai was barely average, so he had to work on that as well.
From the report that, Tsunade had received from Naruto. When he had been debriefed from the failed mission to retrieve Uchiha Sasuke. He had learnt what had happen at the Valley of the End.
What Naruto had said, that he had been using the fox's chakra throughout most of the fight with Sasuke. He had used so much of the Kyuubi's Chakra for such a long period of time it that it had started to damage the chakra pathways in his left arm.
That meant Naruto had been pulling out to much of the fox's power, he had no real control of the chakra because he was not focusing the chakra the right way and not stopping drawing on the fox's power when he had begun to fell how the fox's chakra had started to injure his chakra circulatory system. Plus, by doing that he had threaten himself by blowing himself up because his Chakra System was not capable of handling that much chakra without the right mount of control or without time to rest.
So his chakra pathways in his left arm more or less shut it self down to save it self from blowing up, which was also the other reason he had lost to Sasuke, his body could no longer could handle the strain to his chakra system.
After reading that he already had to change his plans on how to train him already.
But, finding out that Naruto, really had no real training before, had really pissed of the Toad-Sannin.
He had made several quick decisions about the jailer of the nine-tails fox.
First he had to teach him the real Basic Konoha Fighting Style, teach him how to properly throw shuriken and kunai, get his chakra under better control, and also build up his chakra capacity as much as possible and get that all done as quickly as possible.
This wasn't going to be easy.
From teaching Naruto the Summoning and the Rasengan he knew for a fact that he had barely any control at all.
That was why he had told him that he should train for power instead of control like most Nins in the first place. Now he had to change that and get the brat some decent control.
So he wouldn't blow himself up.
That was why he had made him truly master water walking, no handed tree climbing, free-style chakra mountain climbing, sand walking and quicksand walking.
All of that had the effects of not only improving his chakra control but also increasing his chakra capacity.
Plus, the other reason as to why he had this done in the first place was because, he wasn't sure at all beside four of leader of the Akatsuki-Nins home village that gave him an ideal as to how they would fight but, the other five had not a damn clue.
Only, four out of the nine the leaders of the Akatsuki had been identified. But, still that was Nine high-ranking S-Class ranked missing-Nins, that formed the leadership of the Akatsuki Organization that controlled countless more Missing-Nins of unknown class and rank, and no one could remember a time that so many missing-nins worked together under one flag that wasn't trying to form some new village.
That was bad because Naruto was the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki (Jinchuuriki: A human that has a tailed beast sealed inside them.) The container of the most powerful Bijuu (Tailed Beast) was their main target so they could extract the Kyuubi from him but the problem with that was that it would also kill Naruto.
Like, Hell he was going to let that happen!
He already lost one apprentice he wasn't going to lose this one! NO WAY IN HELL!
So he had to make sure that he didn't over use his chakra system like he did fighting against, Sasuke. So he wouldn't pass out while fighting the Akatuski.
While making sure, Naruto wouldn't blow himself up using the fox's power he taught him the real basic Konoha fighting style. Teaching him several different elemental jutsus so he wouldn't complain.
Making sure to teach him at least four advance techniques with several unique Ninjutsu and with all of the basics elements jutsus that he knew to him. He would now have some experience with the kind of different based elements techniques that they could be used from all kinds of Nins,
From any kind of the different Hidden Villages, that he could end up fighting against he would at least know some of their, element base jutsus that they could and probably would use against him.
What had surprised Jiraiya was that Naruto had learnt the Konoha Base Style properly in six months. Only in six months time to master a style that usually took two years at the academy to learn, well there where special cases like where you're a natural taijutsu specialist like Maito Gai. It had taken Gai only five months to master that style.
Sure Naruto, was great at brawling and had a lot of the style messed up but to master the correct forms in just six months time something was up here? And he was going to find out what that was.
It might be luck but to a Shinobi luck doesn't exist.
So he decided to teach the brat a different taijutsu style.
He taught him a style that the Sandaime had taught him when he had made Chuunin.
Konoha Ryuu: Shuuran Kinpaku Ryuu: (Leaf Style: Golden Leaf Grasping Style) A style that relied on a lot of grappling, punching, agility and throwing moves then most other styles. It was a style that basically taught someone to fight against a superior opponent. It was a style that would be prefect for Naruto. Plus this wasn't a real well known style? That was another plus for Naruto,
Just last week Naruto had learnt the entire Shuuran Kinpaku Ryuu in just One-year time. It had taken only one year for Naruto to learn the whole style, it had taken him two and a half to learn that whole style.
The brat appeared to have a lot of ability in taijutsu. Sure it was nowhere near the level that Gai's or his student Rock Lee had but, he had a great deal of untapped potential in the area of hand-to-hand combat.
When he got back to Konoha he would have to see if Gai wouldn't mind to training Naruto in more different taijutsu styles when they got back to the village.
Sure, he could teach the brat more taijutsu himself but, having a specialist like Gai teaching you was a thousand times better then someone like himself who was more specialized in Ninjutsu and Genjutsu.
Jiraiya had one main purpose in training Naruto, Which was to make sure that the brat would be able to survive against the Akatsuki and Orochimaru. The brat was still planning to try and retrieve the traitor Uchiha Sasuke
"KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!"
Naruto voice and the accompany pops of sound brought Jiraiya out of his thoughts and brought him back to the present.
Seams the Brat have a plan. Good, I was getting bored.
Jiraiya watched as four of the clones charge straight a head and the others plus the real Naruto circled him.
I wonder what he came up with?
That was a far as Jiraiya got before the clones reached him. Now wasn't the time to contemplate it was time for some action.
Who said the older ya get the less ya wanted to do. Who ever did didn't know Jiraiya. If it were a good fight he would be one of the first people there and ready to beat the shit out of someone. Heck… that was one of the reasons that he, Naruto and the Yondaime had in common, all three of them love to fight.
Starring out at the horizon, a man of eighteen was seated out on a cliff staring at the rising sun. His sliver hair that went to his shoulders tied into a ponytail, his eyes where a strange shade of purple, his physique showed a well-formed body. He was wearing no shirt and that would've allowed anyone to see all of the scars that were on his chest, back and shoulders that covered his upper body.
After the past two-years since we had felt it power awaken once more across the land, after spending the last two-years trying to find out if it was true or not. Word had finally come from the seer it was still alive. The thought that 'it' was still alive brought the young man serene face and was replaced with angry visage. How could 'it' still be alive? How had the Kyuubi survived? What had it been up to for the past sixteen years?
It mattered little to him. The Kyuubi would be destroyed no matter what it took, they would get their revenge against it.
Finally after sixteen-years… Its power was restored. Opening his again after the long rest the once dull glowing blood red eyes now glowed a thousand times more powerful then they had that night sixteen-years ago.
Still he was sitting upon his black marble like throne like seat that was shrouded in the darkest of shadows all that you could make out where his eyes. His glowed blood red, eyes that held so much hate, a bloodlust and a desire for revenge. For over sixteen years it had slept and watched it enemy and learned.
So as he had slept and watched it foe, it saw the Kyuubi move from land to land fighting different humans or ninjas as they called themselves, it watched as it crushed several ninja clans and villages. It saw the battle with Konoha and it had watched with absolute glee, as the nine-tails was defeated at the hands of the Yondaime-Hokage. A mere human defeating the great Kyuubi no Kitsune it was fantastic as it saw a Shinigami ripped out the Kyuubi soul out and placed inside a newborn human baby.
It saw the Kyuubi living prison life watching and studying it seeing if the Kyuubi had any influence over its vessel. Trying to see if this had been its goal? It saw the pain and loneliness that it suffered, making it roar in laughter (hey it a demon, who's foe that was the most powerful demon lord, get treated like a human plague it was hilarious to it.) it saw the vessel failures trying to become a ninja. It saw the human named Naruto steal the forbidden scroll.
It saw as the boy learned Kage Bunshin and gave a beating to his ex-teacher. It watched the boy graduate and become a genin. It watched as he was thrown into a three man team with it rival. It saw the boy's action on it first C-rank mission and, saw how he tricked the missing-nin. It seethed in rage as the brat use the Kyuubi's Chakra to fight that boy on the bridge. Also it saw the boy take the Chuunin Exam and saw how a giant snake, it made it laugh that the great Kyuubi became a snack for a serpent, ate the brat. Once more the kid used the fox's power and fought the Snake-caller, and it became intrigued by how Orochimaru had sealed the Fox's power from the boy.
Watching intrigue as the Fake-Snakes seal he had placed on the boys teammate had this dark flavor to it power. Watching as the Fox boy as he struggled without the aid of the Kyuubi but the boy was still had a massive for a young human reservoir of power. It saw the kid fight the Dog-boy and it dog and win. It watched in rage as the boy learn how to consciously tap the Kyuubi's power and Summoning Gambunta for the first time. Seeing the boy fights the one with the eyes to see through the body (Hyuuga Neji) and win by using the fox's power once more.
But, what really had gotten it attention was the battle between Naruto and the container of the Ichibi (One-tailed) Lord, Shukaku. That fight had truly opened its eyes to the brats potential with or without the Kyuubi aided. By defeating the One-Tail King, he had raised his threat level a lot higher then it had been.
As he left his village to find their new leader, he had encounter of a new enemy one that was a threat to him as well. This group that calls themselves Akatsuki, seemed to be after collocating all the Nine Tailed Lords. It being what they would call The Hachibi (Eight-Tailed) , this group would have to be studied more before it would make its move on the Kyuubi now. It power would never be soiled by humans like Shukaku or Kyuubi. It saw the brat once more face the fake-snake and it pawn and win.
After returning back to his village his teammate the deluded fool with the eyes that steal, betrayed it village and went to join the snake for it power. It watched as the Kyuubi materialized in a form of a one tailed fox on his container.
It was pleased to see that the brat couldn't use the power of the first tail at all and, what little mount of power the brat was able to use he wasn't even able to wield it properly.
It became irritated that the frog caller was going to teach the child. From what it had gathered was that this human was the one that taught the human that sealed the Kyuubi. It wouldn't be good if the kid learnt the same technique that defeated the Kyuubi.
But, with all of the places that the hermit had taken the container to it limited the use of his spies. So for the past year and a half it information, of the container has become incomplete. Even though he could keep his spies going with it power but it could only last for a week at best then they would need to sleep and eat food. So some time it could only watch with one pair of eyes.
For the past three months they had been in the desert he hadn't gain any information about the brats training and that was because his spies where meant for a forest, fields, and the mountains areas. Because of this it would have to take even more time before it could make it move.
That meant little to it. Time was something that meant nothing to it, it had waited centuries to find the Kyuubi and waited for most of it power to be restored. It could wait a little while longer.
" Soon… So very soon I'll have my vengeance on you Kyuubi and then I shall become the new ruler… Sooo Very soon. Heh…" The figure growled out each word with a sadistic glee that was inhuman and a maniacal glint in it blood red eyes.
The figures voice had this note of restrained power and darkness that wanted to release upon anyone and everyone and it would in time.
(THE END FOR NOW…)
Author Notes: Reading the second part of the manga I can't stand how it being done. So I decide to take a try at writing a Naruto Fanfic.
Ok, first of all why does the Hachibi saying that the Shukaku is the lord of the Ichibi?
Well reading many fanfics I see that people ignore the tails as nothing more then a decoration. The same in the manga and anime. So I decide to create a reason for them to exist. Here is an example to what I mean; Shukaku is the Lord of The One Tailed Beasts this means that any demons with one tail has to bow down and obey it. It's the right it gets a being the strongest with one tail.
Now The Kyuubi; It's the Lord of the Tails. This means that the Kyuubi is the strongest of the strongest. The other eight tailed beast lords has to obey the Kyuubi Orders.
Side Note: I am still looking for a couple more beta's…
That's all for now!
