THE GOLDEN TOAD
CHAPTER ONE: LOST MEMORY
A mass of flames shot out from the mountain side encompassing the three tails. It let out a one last scream that was both defiant and pained, before retreating beneath the surf.
Naruto turned to Gamagitchi and said "wow I didn't know you're a fire style user!" he yelled in triumph.
Gamagitchi simply turn to him and stated "not normally, I'm actually more of an earth style user, but I got fire on the side."
He finished. Naruto then asked "really?" Gamagitchi went on to say "yeah I can actually shoot oil, or even gum out of my mouth"
Naruto took a couple of secants before yelling back in frustration "THEN WHY DIDN'T WE USE YOUR OIL!?" Gammagitchi gave him a dumb look before asking
"then who would lite it on fire genius!?" Naruto blushed a little as he rubbed the back of his head, his eyes wore closed, and he gave a small laugh before a small sigh.
Clearly embarrassed by the fact that little detail escaped him. He thought it would be best to move the conversation along with "well it looks like that's it, for the time being at least" he jumped off of Gammatotsu's back.
Gammagitchi then said "well we'll be heading back then" Naruto then turned to them and said "yeah! Thanks for your help!" then both toads disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
He then turned to Ukimaru, who was still asleep after controlling the three tails. Naruto picked up the boy, he then heard something drop, he looked down to see the Kamilia incased in crystal, with cracks running along all sides of the jewel.
Naruto picked up the treasure of Ukimaru's, that he got from Guren and folded it in the still unconscious boy's hand. He looked at the poor young man in his arms, and whispered "Ukimaru I'm so sorry!" Ukimaru's eyes filled with tears, Naruto's eyes did the same, but then he'd started to smile. Naruto then whispered
"but I'm so glad you found someone that loves you!... I wish I had that growing up, but I guess all the longing in the world won't make some people love you back…." Naruto looked up to the sky still crying a little, he then whispered to Ukimaru "I don't why, maybe it's because you're asleep? But I want you to be the one person to hear my real story. Will you lesion?" He asked knowing that Ukimaru couldn't hear him.
He just felt that it was the right thing to do ask, if you tell someone some-thing that they didn't want to hear felt kind of wrong. He told Ukimaru about his past as they walked back to the mansion base in the woods.
Meanwhile on the beach to the lake the three tails capture team is reunited, the sealing team had washed up on the shore after the three tails escaped from the beerier, and making a title wave in the lake.
Kakashi asked "is everyone OK!?"
Sasune answered "we're injured, but nothing life threating, but I think we have bigger problems then our injuries now!" she said with an ominous tone. Kakashi nodded in agreement, and said "you're right, that fire style jutsu user was able to take down the three tails water style. And there is only one person I know who's ever been able to do that"
Yamato answered his unasked question with "Madara Uchiha…"
Sakura gave a confused look before asking "who's Madara Uchiha!? And why do you sound so scared!?"
Kakashi answered "he was one of the leaders of the Uchiha clan, a founder of the Leaf Village, and the worse criminal the ninja world has ever known. They also called him the "devil of the shinobi world!"
Kiba gave a doubtful look before asking "come on! Is he really all he's cracked up to be!?"
Yamato answered "Madara was a founder of the village, but he left when he was denied as Hokage. When he left, he went around to the other great nations and tried to take them over by defeating the other Kages and the ones set to be the next Kages. He even took down some tailed beat along the way like the three tails. Back in the day the Leaf was the holder of the seven tails, until Madara snuck back in and killed the host while he was in full tailed beast mode. He snuck out again, only to find the last tailed to be captured, the nine tailed fox spirit! He took over the nine tails with Genjutsu, and he went back to fight the first Hokage. Their battle was so intense that the map of an entire coast line had to be redrawn. And although the first Hokage won, there are many rumors that Madara survived the battle. There are even some that Madara became even stronger then he was!..."
Kiba swallowed hard, with sweat dripping down his head. Shino then asks "do you think he could still be alive!?"
Kakashi gave a serious look before saying "I'm not sure, but if he is here we're all in serious danger. Not just from Madara, but if Madara found Naruto…."
Yamato finished "then he would try to take and tame the nine tails from Naruto, and if he managed to do that then, there would be no way to stop him!"
Hinata started to panic yelling "WE NEED TO FIND NARUTO NOW!" everyone gave her a surprised look, they never heard Hinata yell before.
Kakashi got over his shock and stated "Hinata's right! Even if it isn't Madara's jutsu that took down the three tails, it was still a shinobi that's powerful enough to use a fire style jutsu to overpower the water style of a tailed beast. Séance the mist of the three tails is gone Shino can use his insects to track Naruto's chakra, so we'll split into three groups the leaders of the groups will be myself, Sasune, and Captain Yamato. The groups will be the three of us plus a medical ninja, two ninja hounds, and a hand full of Shino's insects scouting ahead. And since smell rises, the teams will ride on Sai's birds above the canopy, this will cover a much ground as possible. We'll split into three directions, search for 15 minutes regroup, and search another direction. Our objective is to find and retrieve Naruto and Ukimaru, but if we run into the enemy, either the crystal style user or the fire style user, you will observe and send a ninja hound back so we all can regroup, but you are not to engage.
Remember Madara is the strongest member of the Uchiha clan to ever have lived. His taijutsu I better than Guy's, in both strength and speed, his mastery of all weapons is greater than Tenten's. He can use both fire and wind styles, at a scale that could destroy a forest in one blow, and he even learned to combined them to make the Sarutobi clans ash style jutsu, which can not only make an ash cloud that can cover a field, but could also be ignited and burn the field for over a minute with unbelievable heat. He also has the same Mangekyo Sharingan powers as Itachi, excepted his is 10 time more powerful. He can put you into a dream world for three weeks where he can control time, space, and mass, but it will happen in only a second. He can also concentrate his fire style through his eyes and bring the fire to life on point to his eye sight. It is a black flame that cannot be put out, and I said to burn a hot as the sun. Although most other members of the Uchiha can only use the inferno style up to one meter at a time pure blast, Madara can engulf up to 10 meters in an instant with the flames of Amaterasu. He can also summon the demon of the Mangekyo known as the Susanoo, it is a living mass of chakra just like the tailed beast, and they say that Madara's Susanoo rivals even the nine tails power. Although his most dangerous ability is his volcanic ash style, where he combines the inferno style with the ash style to make a blast strong that captures everything it touch's in a state of petrified statues of ash, suet, and sulfur from the inside out. Just like people who are hit by a volcanos ash explosion, the ability to combine the shadow, wind, and fire styles is something only Madara is known to have. He is the only one to have that Kekkei Touta!"
Ino asks "what's a Kekkei Touta!?" Yamato answered
"it's the ability to combine 3 types of chakra natures into one jutsu. So far there have only been two to kinds of Kekkei Touta's discovered, there's the particle style of the Tsuchikage and, the volcanic ash style of Madara Uchiha. But it's a very rare and advance from of ninjutsu, so rare in-fact that there have only been 5 people in all of the ninja world who have been able to use this power!"
After Kakashi's and Yamato's description of Madara, you could cut the air with a knife. Just the thought of facing someone like that was enough to scare anyone, let alone 8 teenagers.
Lee thought "a sharingan user who's faster and stronger then Guy Sensei, can I defeat such an adept opponent!?"
Tenten thought "damn! If my weapons won't work, what else do I have!?"
Shino thought "my insects are useless agents such a fire style user, but even if all of them eat all the chakra they could. Madara would still have more them enough power to take all of us down. This makes me uneasy, that's because even with all of us fighting at once I don't think we can win!"
Ino thought "someone who has Genjutsu that powerful, and that much chakra!? It's will be a miracle if I can use mind transfer for 2 seconds, let alone hit him with it!"
Hinata thought "I really want to save Naruto, but this man scares me! His Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and Ninjutsu are all in a totally deferent league then anyone we've ever faced! I still save Naruto anyway I can, but I'm still scared…"
Everyone was so deep in thought that they didn't notice that someone was approaching until they heard a branch brake in the woods. Everyone's heart started racing so loudly that they could barely hear the encroaching footsteps from the shadows of the forest floor.
They all slowly turned hoping that their ears were playing tricks on them; they saw the figure of a man with spikey hair shrouded in the darkness of the trees.
The team stood there not knowing what to do next, that's when a thunderous cry ran from the unknown person "HAY GUY'S!"
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" was the sound that everyone made at the same time.
The person ran out from the woods into the light, and yelled "so you're back for round 3!? Then show yourself you damn turtle!"
When everyone realized that they recognized the voice they all looked up to find an idiot taking a demotic pose, like someone planning to take down the three tails with festy cups, this person puffed out their chest and cheeks to make themselves look bigger. This person also thought that if he squinted his eyes and scowled his brow, he would look scary, but he ended up only looking like a joke; however, it was a good joke because it was also Naruto.
Kiba yelled "DON'T DO THAT! YOU SCRARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!"
Naruto responded with "don't be scared Kiba! If the turtle shows himself again, I'll take him down with my toad flame bomb again!" Naruto yelled smiling from ear to ear.
Kakashi asked "so that fire style jutsu that took down the three tails was yours?"
Naruto replied "YEAH! Well it's more like me, Gammatotsu's, Gammakichi's jutsu. But anyway Gammakichi came up with this great idea! Me and Gammatotsu use oil not water in the toad water pistol, then Gammakichi uses his fire style to make a giant flame thrower, next thing you know bam! No more three tails!"
Kiba let out a noise that was half relief that it wasn't Madara that took down the three tails, and half annoys that it was Naruto that did. Hinata ran to Naruto and almost tackled him for how hard he hugged him, yelling
"NARUTO!…" she then said "I'm so glad you're OK…" she was crying a little. Naruto smiled and went to hug her back, but as he did he noised a certain smell. He asked "hay Hinata did Akamaru mark you or something? Because you really smell like pee!?"
Naruto then looked at the rest of the team, and asked "hey did all you guys spill water on your laps!?" yes it seems that everyone was so freaked out the Madara was coming for them that they all had a little accident…
Hinata was redder then he ever has ever been. Her skin actually hurt from the amount of blood rushing to her face, she then realized that she's hugging Naruto, after she "made a mess…" if there was a record for how fast someone could pass out Hinata just broke it.
The next chapter will get in to the actual story.
