Whitefang16: This is a story based on the We're a Miracle one-shot by DJ Rodriguez. I read his story and was thoroughly impressed that someone on this website could write a story that was this good. I mean really, the story was so touching that it could be called a tear-jerker. DJ Rodriguez had given out a challenge to all of the authors on fanfiction to come up with a prequel/sequel story for his one-shot. As of yet, I have yet to find a story on fanfiction that has been up to the challenge of his contest, so I decided to take up the mantle and make a new story, and as such this story was born. To all of you out there who are interested then read We're a Miracle by DJ Rodriguez, but it is not necessary to read that fic in order to understand mine. However, it would give you a better understanding of what's going on and what's going to happen in the story. The only differences being when I add my own original touches. Now to all of you out there wondering, no I am not giving up on Brown Eyes, in fact the next chapter should be up within the end of the week. So without further ado, let's get this story started.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the merchandise or franchise.
The Power of Miracles
Chapter 1: Banishment? The End of a Dream?
The Kyuubi no Yōko had nearly destroyed Konohagakure no Sato 13 years previously. It is one of the "bijuu", a tailed beast of the ancient world. It took the sacrifice of the Yondaime Hokage to imprison the demon and place it into the body of the young baby Uzumaki Naruto. It was the Yondaime's hope that the Leaf villagers would look at Naruto as a hero for serving as the vessel to contain the demon. However, the people of leaf village see Naruto as the Kyuubi itself and shun him.
This is the story of Uzumaki Naruto and his friend growing stronger by the second, Tenten.
How is it that the #1 unpredictable shinobi of Konoha and the Weapons Mistress came to be, and why is it that they are not in their own village? Well, here is it how it began my friends.
Thirteen years later (after the Kyuubi attack)
Naruto was seen dragging the body of one Uchiha Sasuke through the gates of Konoha. It was a vicious and furious battle, more or less a fight to the death, between these two powerhouses. The keeper of Kyuubi used the demon's chakra to enhance himself to his new One-tailed Kyuubi form. The sight of the blonde jinchuuriki was astounding as he was down on all fours and had blood red chakra emanating from him in the form of a fox with two ears and one tail. To answer Naruto's new transformation Sasuke began to enter into his Curse Seal Level 2 form. Sasuke's new form made his whole body turn purple as his hair grew out and two wings emerged from his back. It was a battle for the ages and anyone would be lucky to be called a witness, as Sasuke used his Habataku Chidori (Flapping Chidori) and Naruto used his Yōko Rasengan (Demon Fox Rasengan) against one another. The two powered up attacks collided with one another creating a large sphere of chakra that completely enveloped both Naruto and Sasuke in a blinding light that stretched out many meters. Inside the sphere of chakra Sasuke sent his Chidori and aimed it at Naruto's heart, clearly going for the kill. Naruto had his Rasengan in hand and also aimed his at Sasuke's heart showing him that he was just as serious. Then as the chakras rose to their peaks, Naruto quickly shifted his Rasengan so that it was aimed at Sasuke's Chidori. The attacks continued to collide as Sasuke's Chidori gave way to the power of Naruto's Rasengan. As the light finally died down, a figure was seen standing over an unconscious body. Naruto by a twist of fate managed to win, and dragged his former comrade back to the village despite all of his injuries.
Upon arriving in Konoha he was greeted by the citizens and various shinobi and kunoichi of the village. Sakura immediately took Sasuke from Naruto, ignoring his presence and checking her crush for injuries. She and Ino took the Uchiha traitor from the crowd and towards the hospital. The Haruno and Yamanaka girl didn't even bother to thank Naruto, let alone look at him. Kakashi went to inspect his two students. He felt nothing but anger as he stared at the last Uchiha left in Konoha. He felt disgusted at himself for teaching Sasuke such a powerful technique that in turn had almost killed his sensei's son. Then he turned his attention to Naruto, who had always been his loyal student. He felt sorry for Naruto who had just witnessed his nakama trying to kill him with all of his might. Tenten was within the crowd as well, and had seen the look of complete emptiness and sadness in the blonde's eyes.
Until recently, she did not know of Naruto nor cared about him only interacting with him on certain occasions. His pranks were the only ones that she knew of, and truth be told, she was surprised at how daring and bold his tricks were, especially his ability to evade even jounins and Hunter-nins. Of course, this all changed when she saw him fight against Inuzuka Kiba. She, like all of the others, assumed that Naruto had no chance against Kiba. He surprised them all by beating him down, and was more surprised to learn that he was still under Orochimaru's seal. Orochimaru had placed a seal on top of the Yondaime's seal that disrupted Naruto's chakra. Because of Orochimaru's Gogyou Fuuin (Five Elements Seal), Naruto's chakra was now out of control and unable to properly synchronize with the Kyuubi's chakra. Although later the Fuuinjutsu master and Gama Sennin Jiraiya would use his skills to undo Orochimaru's seal with the Gogyou Kaiin (Five Elements Unseal). That meant that he had a handicap, and he still managed to beat the animal user.
She also saw him take down Neji, even though the genius was owning his ass at the beginning of the match. Tenten witnessed Naruto being consumed in a hellfire chakra aura of some sort, and brought the battle to a whole new level! She was amazed that Neji was actually trying to keep up with the blonde shinobi, and with Naruto's intellect when he came under the ground and flattened the Hyuuga genius with one punch! After the match was over he didn't gloat over Neji, rather he went and soaked up the cheers from the crowd like a child. She fell for him right then and there.
The Weapons Mistress knew of the battle between Subaku no Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto, witnessing it herself from a distance. The boy managed to summon Gamabunta to take on Gaara's large demonic form, transforming himself into Kyuubi no Kitsune, and getting Gaara back in control of his demon. All of this while still tuckered out from his battle with Neji and the Suna and Oto nins. Tenten was just simply stunned that Naruto had such stamina, strength, and compassion for his nakama and his village. However, upon hearing Sakura claim that it was Sasuke who defeated Gaara, her blood boiled and wanted nothing more then to beat her into the ground for that lie.
She wanted to spend some time with Naruto, but training and missions got in the way. When she finally had the time and courage to do so, Naruto was gone on a mission of his own. She learned from her fellow ninjas that he and a number of other shinobi left to retrieve Sasuke who went with the Sound Four to Orochimaru. Nara Shikamaru was the team leader as he was the only Chuunin among the Konoha shinobi. The other members of the team consisted of Akimichi Chouji, Inuzuka Kiba, and Hyuuga Neji. She was disgusted by the Uchiha's actions, turning traitor for power from the snake-teme. Sakura and Ino defended Sasuke, saying that he was not thinking right due to the curse seal placed on him. Tenten knew it was a load of bull, and again wanted to pound both of them straight into the ground.
Now, we return to the present. Uzumaki Naruto was slowly going to the hospital himself when someone threw a brick at him. It hit him square in the back of the head, causing him to wince in pain and go down on his knees. The crowd started to get unruly, throwing various objects at the defenseless blonde and yelling obscenities at him. Tenten and Hinata were shocked at the outcome and went in to defend him. Hinata was using her Shugo Hakke Rokujūyonshō (Guardian Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand) to deflect the projectiles while Tenten was using her katana to defend Naruto as well. She couldn't believe the audacity that the villagers showed by actually attacking the blonde jinchuuriki even after he almost died trying to ensure that Sasuke didn't defect from Konoha and become a nukenin.
The crowd was getting more riled up until Tsunade and Jiraiya came on the scene. They broke the crowd up, the Godaime threating to bringing ANBU to arrest them all. The two took Naruto to the hospital, the girls following after them. Tenten saw the way Tsunade was acting and hovering over Naruto, as if she was her son or something. She was currently unaware of the bond that the blonde boy shared with the Godaime. Once they were at the hospital and had Naruto stabilized, the two girls reported what they saw prior to the crowd going wild. Tsunade was frustrated at the village, and it showed when she punched a stupid shinobi who came in and reported that Uchiha Sasuke was hurt due to the 'demon'.
Three days later, there came news that was very terrible to Tenten, Naruto, Hinata, and their friends. The Village Council had voted unanimously to banish Uzumaki, on the grounds that he damaged their 'precious Uchiha' and that he was a threat to Konoha's well being. Tsunade was against this outrageous decision, but the Council had more sway over her. Tsunade made numerous threats but even the Godaime Hokage couldn't get around the council's decision. This devastated Tenten and Hinata, but no more than Naruto. He was shown to the gates of Konoha, to pass through them to the outside world and never return. Tsunade bent down and hugged him tightly, crying to see him go. She would miss her adopted otouto deeply and wanted nothing more than to go with him to ensure his safety. He handed over the necklace she gave him some time ago, saying to hand it to Konohamaru when he becomes Hokage.
The rest of the Rookie Nine went to see him off, but their farewells varied. Most of the males wished him good luck, even Neji, bearing him no ill will. However, Sakura and Ino were wearing smirks on their faces like the rest of the villagers. They were glad to see the blonde shinobi go, especially after what he did to their 'precious Sasuke'. Iruka gave the boy a hug, saying that he was one of the best he had ever taught. The jounins Kurenai, Asuma, Gai, and Anko were sad to see such a promising ninja leave at such a young age. Even Kakashi had seemed to show even some emotion to his loyal student as he ruffled the blonde boy's hair one last time.
Jiraiya announced to all that he was going to train Naruto, taking him on as his official student. That got a gasp out of everyone, Sakura and Ino demanding on why he was taking the 'dead-last' and not the strongest ninja which was in their eyes Sasuke. The Gama Sennin narrowed his eyes at them and stated that Naruto has much potential within him and was more worthwhile to train then the traitor. Before setting foot outside of Konoha's doors, Tenten burst from the crowd and went to them.
"I'm going with you!" she declared. Jiraiya and Naruto were speechless to say the least. This revelation had surprised a lot of people, including Tenten's parents. When they demanded that she return to them, she glared at her parents and firmly stated that she was going with Naruto no matter what. Hinata wished she could too, but her father Hyuuga Hiashi forbid it, and she was too scared to go up against him. When Tenten's parents threatened to disown her, she just undid her buns and let her hair fall free. "Then I'm no longer a Tenou. One day, I'm going to be an Uzumaki!" she told them.
The three turned and walked away, not looking back when the doors shut. It was the end of the chapter of Konoha in the lives of Naruto and Tenten, and the beginning of a new one.
Chidori (One Thousand Birds) a Ninjutsu technique developed by Hatake Kakashi utilizing the Lightning Element. Chidori allows him to cut through any foe. Later, Uchiha Sasuke used his Sharingan and the training of Kakashi to also learn the technique. It was given the nickname Raikiri after it was said Kakashi used the technique to cut a lightning bolt in two. Chidori is used for assassination purposes. Activating the body to focus chakra to the hand, Kakashi and Sasuke's hand become enveloped by an electrical force. This force is their chakra altered in nature to an electrical current. By altering the shape of the force, similar to an electrical discharge, they can decide the power and range of the attack.
After concentrating all the chakra into the arm, Kakashi and Sasuke use their quickness and the power of the thrust from the chakra to pierce any object with the extended forearm. Because their opponent can easily counter the attack, it requires a Sharingan user to make the technique worthwhile. The Sharingan will allow them to predict any moves their opponent decides to make and send their strike home into the target. Due to the high speed, the force emits a sound like a thousand birds chirping which gave the technique its name. Because of the great amount of chakra needed to utilize the technique, the technique can only be used so many times during the day.
After achieving his Curse Seal Level 2 transformation Sasuke's Chidori transforms into the Habataku Chidori (Flapping Chidori) increasing its power dramatically.
Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) a technique invented by the Yondaime Hokage after three years of development. It requires a very high level of chakra control to use properly, and because of this the teaching of this jutsu is split into three steps. The first, emphasizing rotation has the user learn to pop a water balloon by spinning the water inside in multiple directions with their chakra. The second step, emphasizing power, requires the same be done with a solid rubber ball, forcing the user to rely on denser amounts of chakra to permeate the air within and break it. The final step, emphasizing control, has the user form a complete Rasengan by combining what they learned in the previous two steps and making a ball shape shell around the spinning chakra to hold it in regular shape. A regular balloon is often used to train making the shell. The Yondaime taught the Rasengan to his student, Hatake Kakashi, and his former teacher, Jiraiya, the latter of which teaches it to Uzumaki Naruto.
The Rasengan requires no hand seals to perform, instead relying entirely on the chakra control of the user. Once the user creates a stable Rasengan, however, it becomes self-sustaining, so the user does not need to provide any more chakra after forming it. The force of the spinning chakra grinds into whatever it touches, causing major damage as well as significant internal injury. Unlike the Chidori, there is no definite limit to the amount of times this technique can be used in a day. Because it uses far less chakra in comparison, it doesn't carry the same over-use risk as the Chidori, either. While most users of this technique are able to perform in with one hand, Naruto actually uses three or more hands to form it (his one hand makes a shell and his shadow clones spin the chakra) due to his poor chakra control. When tapping into the demon fox's chakra, however, he is able to form the Rasengan with the red chakra as a second hand.
The Rasengan was created as the ultimate example of form manipulation, the Yondaime having intended for users to combine it with their very own nature manipulation, thus making Rasengan an incomplete technique. The Yondaime was unable to do so prior to his death, and Kakashi was also unsuccessful in the attempt. Kakashi's attempt at merging his lighting element chakra with the Rasengan resulted in the formation of the Chidori.
After achieving his One-Tailed Kyuubi transformation Naruto's Rasengan transforms into the Yōko Rasengan (Demon Fox Rasengan) which not only increases the Rasengan's destructive powers, but also through the power of the Kyuubi, Naruto is able to form it without the aid of a Kage Bunshin.
Gogyou Fuuin (Five Elements Seal) a Fuuinjutsu technique used by the Sannin Orochimaru. Orochimaru forms an elemental seal on each of his fingers, one for each of the following five elements: water, metal, earth, fire and wood. He used this odd numbered seal to disrupt the affects of the even numbered Shishou Fuuin placed on Naruto's stomach by the Yondaime Hokage. The Gogyou Fuuin would disrupt the Shishou Fuuin's ability to let the Kyuubi's chakra blend into Naruto's chakra.
Gogyou Kaiin (Five Elements Unseal) a Fuuinjutsu technique used by the Leaf Sannin Jiraiya. Jiraiya forms an elemental unseal on each of his fingers, one for each of the follwoing five elements: water, metal, earth, fire and wood. He then applies his hand with force to the Gogyou Fuuin to remove it.
Shugo Hakke Rokujūyonshō (Guardian Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand) a Taijutsu technique developed by Hyuuga Hinata. During the period after the Chuunin Exam, Hinata pushed herself harder than ever before. During this time she improved her chakra control and developed her own style within the Hyuuga bloodline abilities. She practiced the technique around water to hone it to perfection. Utilizing the Hakke Rokujuuyonshou style, Hinata uses her natural flexibility and her precise chakra control to create an absolute defense.
Hinata will emit chakra from her palms and move her arms in sweeping pattern movements to provide a full 360 degree range of protection for her body. This chakra will also be able to cut through most any target which dares penetrate the protective sphere. By expelling a sharper, stronger and more flexible amount of chakra, she can increase its effectiveness against more massive incoming objects.
There you have it folks, the first chapter of my story dedicated to DJ Rodriguez. I have tried to do the story justice by drawing from his original design and also adding a bit of my own inspiration in as well just to give it a bit of flavor. Don't know how often I'll be able to update since I'll now be working on two stories simultaneously and probably swamped full of ideas for the stories.
In the Next Chapter Naruto and Tenten begin their training under the Sannin Jiraiya. Will Naruto and Tenten be able to deal with Jiraiya's perverted antics? Will Tenten grow closer to Naruto and admit her feelings? Will Naruto reveal his deepest and darkest secret to the young kunoichi brunette?
Next Chapter: Hotsprings! Training under the Ero-Sennin!
