Me: HI PEOPLES!
You: HI ION
Me: Thank you, thank you. Now, I welcome you to the first chapter of Fury of the Storm, a Naruto fanfic. If you were looking for a dark-Naruto fic with bits of romance and a LOT of killing, then you came to the right place! If, on the other hand you were looking for pants without hats, scrape the crud out of your eyes!
Shiki: Shut it and get to the story!
Me: YOU! I haven't introduced you yet!
Shiki: Exactly! I WANT TO EXIST!!!
Me: Fine. I don't own Naruto or anything else I use. This is the only time I'll write this, so learn it, live it, love it.
Konoha Gate
The village had just gone through hell a few months ago, with the Suna/Oto attack, and the loss of its shinobi. And then they had the attack by Uchiha Itachi and his partner in the Akatsuki, and the occasional death during reconstruction, but that was nothing compared to the massive blow in moral due to one boy. Uchiha Sasuke had gone AWOL. At this, a team of equal rank shinobi was dispatched to take him home, but met heavy resistance. And so we find all of the Konoha 12 shinobi and sensei who weren't gone due to Sasuke related matters (except Shino) waiting at the gates, in addition to a large crowd of civilians.
"I hope Sasuke-kun comes back OK," said the blond whore, Yamanaka Ino.
"I'm sure that with all those people helping him, even Naruto-baka could manage to get Sasuke-kun to come home! SHANNARO!" said Ino's pink haired whore counterpart, Haruno Sakura.
"I'm sure you're right Sakura," said a man with dirty white antigravity hair and an aura of lazy perversion. That man was named Hatake Kakashi.
"Hey, what's that?" Shouted Tenten, a girl with brown hair in buns that made her look kind of like a panda. A panda that had an unhealthy obsession with sharp and pointy objects and the third of the Sannin.
And, lo and behold, in the distance, a small shape was growing and taking form. It was Naruto Uzumaki, ninja of Konoha and Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko, the 9-tailed fox demon that attacked the village 13 years ago. He currently was covered in bruises, cuts, scars, and the occasional Chidori hole, but no one but a short, white-eyed girl saw or cared about that. What everyone else saw was the limp figure on his shoulder. It was Uchiha Sasuke, the brooding emo-god/dess with black hair in the shape of a duck's ass. At the moment, he had a few cuts, scratches, and bruises with a bit of blood leaking out of his hair line.
"Sasuke-kun!" shouted the twin whores of blond and pink as they, along with Kakashi, jumped over to them.
"K-K-Kakashi-sensei, m-mission complete," said the spiky blond haired ninja. At this, Naruto handed over Sasuke's limp form to the white haired Jonin, taking care not to 'accidentally' hurt him.
"You did well, Naruto. Sakura, help Naruto to the hospital," said the copy-nin, before teleporting away, Sasuke in hand, followed by all the ninja but Ino. By the end of his life, he would come to realize that was the point in his life that everything went wrong. This is all because Sakura, the moment he was gone, decided to punch him. In the face. And stab him in the Chidori wound with a kunai. A rusty kunai. A blunt rusty kunai. Typically not the recommended medical treatment, but who are we to judge?
"S-S-Sakura-chan, why? I-I b-brought Sas-Sasuke-teme back, j-ju-just like you asked," asked Naruto, eyes glowing with sadness and betrayal. After all, he did everything he could to make her happy.
"I asked you to bring Sasuke-kun back, not a half beaten pulp! Baka, Baka, BAKA!" she shouted, accentuating the word 'baka' with a strike.
"Why don't you just roll over and die, Bakemono! That's right, both Sakura-chan and I know!" shouted Ino, jumping in and kicking him in the face, knocking him to the ground as the civilians threw rocks at him. Of course, this turned out to be a very bad idea, as about 3 seconds after this happened, fiery red chakra enveloped him, slowly constricting until it became a bloody red misty aura around him.
"Monster, eh? So all of you see me as a monster? If that's what all of you see me as, then fine! I'll leave your precious village and never come back, so long as I bear the title Uzumaki! But I promise you, in 13 years, you'll see what a real monster is! Dattebayo." shouted Naruto, his wounds finally beginning to heal at their normal rate. After having screamed this, he ran off, a quickly fading trail of red haze all that evidenced the direction he left in.
"He left. THE DEMON HAS LEFT! EVERYONE! Let's celebrate!" shouted one villager.
"Those girls are heroes!" shouted another. At this, everyone cheered… except one crying, mousy, blue haired girl.
Hokage Tower
"Hokage-sama, the retrieval squad has returned, but most are in critical condition!" shouted some faceless Chunin peon.
"What! Get me their stats now!" shouted Tsunade, the Slug Princess of the Sannin.
"Akimichi Choji is in critical condition from the effects of the red Akimichi food pill. Hyuga Neji is in an equally bad state due to a pair of large holes, one on his shoulder, one in his abdomen.(A/N: Don't know if those are the exact locations) Inuzuka Kiba is suffering from minor cellular decomposition and a stab wound which nicked his stomach. Rock Lee is faced with a minor case of alcohol poisoning. Nara Shikamaru only has a broken finger. But the good news is that Uchiha-sama was brought back with only superficial bruising, chakra burns, and cuts," listed off said Chunin peon.
"And Naruto-kun? What about him?" asked the Sannin, worry evident in her voice.
"The best news of all! The demon spawn was forced out of the village by the heroes Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino!" said the retarded Nin with barely restrained glee at the self-banishment of the village pariah, an action that caused his head to explode due to the 2000 psi punch, delivered by Tsunade.
"Anbu! Find Ino and Sakura and have them delivered to Anko and Ibiki, NOW!" shouted the Hokage, causing the black-ops agents in hiding to appear to perform her request. Of course, after this, another faceless Nin came to tell the village's fire shadow that she was summoned to the council chambers.
Outside the village, unknown location
The Subaku siblings were on their way home from their mission to aid Konoha, but left early due to all the partying over the loss of Naruto. Kankuro never really knew him so didn't feel much, Temari felt disgusted at the fact that they would celebrate not having him around, and Gaara…
These people are scum! They would dare shun him for imprisoning their greatest foe?(Yes, he knows. Shukaku told him) I only wish I had the chakra needed to bury that hell-hole in sand! Thought the sand wielder. Although, considering the fact that he has ungodly power at his disposal, he probably shouldn't have needed to lament.
As they were walking home, they heard a cracking sound and decided to investigate. They'd wish they hadn't. As they got closer to the crack, it grew louder until it sounded like someone was breaking all the bones in some one's body. How right they were. They soon found, laying on the ground in a cave, the body of Naruto, covered in red chakra and writhing in agony.
Flashback
Naruto had just escaped the probable search range of the village and, after finding a sheltered cave, sat down to meditate. As he closed his eyes, he opened them to find himself in the sewer that was his mind. After walking down the familiar corridors for a minute or so, he came across a gigantic cage, with the bars being held shut by a single piece of paper with the symbol for 'seal' on it. And held back by these bars was the form of the monster that dwelled within his nightmares, the Kyuubi.
"Gaki, what are you here for? You aren't in danger at the moment so I know it's not chakra you want" said the demon.
"I'm switching to plan B, you in?" said Naruto.(Don't worry, all will be explained later.)
"Fine gaki, but this'll hurt like hell," said the fox.
"It'll all be worth it once I can finally take the title I deserve!" exclaimed Naruto as the fox flooded the room with his chakra, bubbling like boiling blood, before the room went black.
Flashback end
It was at this moment that they were attacked.
Konoha Council Chambers
The entire council, all 13 civilian members, 12 shinobi, 15 clan heads (just making a number up) 2 advisors, and head advisor Danzou were waiting, and coming to a decision.
"Then it's settled?" asked a shinobi councilman.
"That's right," said Koharu, one of the advisors. It was at this moment that the 61-year-old-who-looks-26 came in.
"What's this about, I need to get to work on getting a retrieval tem for Naruto-kun and healing those Genin!" she shouted. (Man, she does that a lot)
"No, you don't. We of the council have decided that we need to punish the de… Uzumaki for the use of excessive force in bringing back Uchiha-sama," said a civilian member.
"What the hell? How dare y-" she started.
"Lady Tsunade, we're sorry. We know how much you care about the boy, but the opposition was too great to get him out of this. All we were able to do was get him out of the death penalty," said Hyuga Hiashi, who along with about 16 other people had their heads bowed in shame.
"Instead, he has been banished. We will not send hunter-nin out to kill him, as that would probably free the demon fox, but he will not be allowed to return here," said Danzou in an even, emotionless voice.
"Bastards," said Tsunade, glaring at her advisors and the civilian council with kage-level KI.
"In addition, Uchiha Sasuke-sama will be groomed into your successor after he is released from the hospital and his curse mark is re-sealed," said Homura, the other advisor to the Hokage.
"Goddamn bastards! I promise you he will never become Hokage," said Tsunade before storming out of the room. That night, there was a village-wide sake shortage.
Cave outside village
The sand sibs only knew that they had been attacked because of the kunai caught by Gaara's sand, and the tip still poked out of the sand. This was followed by a man jumping out of the tree line into view. He was short, standing about 5 feet even, but was covered in muscles and kunai placed for quick use running down his sleeves, pants, vest, and pack. His head was covered in greasy green hair, sticking up in flat spikes. He was wearing standard beige shinobi pants and a thickened flak vest, and a… Suna headband?
"What are you doing? You do realize that assault on a fellow Suna shinobi is treason, right?" asked Temari.
"It would be, but the village council decided that you all had been infected by the demon and needed to be put down. None of you are sand shinobi anymore," said the Nin Before firing a bullet of water out of his mouth, soaking all of Gaara's sand in one shot, making it useless. Temari, being the first to react to this, threw several shuriken at him before he blocked them. The strange shinobi then rushed forward with rather substandard speed, constantly throwing kunai at them, which were being deflected by gusts of wind chakra created via a large fan. As she deflected the sharp flying pointy thingies of death rain… of death… Kankuro jumped into the trees to hide while he used his puppets to fight and Gaara… Gaara got the hell out of dodge, going to the cave entrance to protect his friend in his unconscious state, and see if the cave had any sand in it that he could use to make more sand.
Temari POV
She was in trouble, simple and true. This guy kept running forward while tossing those accursed throwing knives, which somehow absorbed the chakra from her jutsu. By her estimates, he would be right at her in about 48 seconds. Of course, she forgot one very important fact. Steel kunai are very heavy, and he was throwing about 8 per wave, 1 wave every 1.5 seconds. And that quickly reduces the weight of the man throwing them. While not as dramatic, it had the same effect as Lee releasing his weights. And so, he made it there in 15 seconds, pulling out a small tanto to try and take her down with, forcing her to block with her fan's edge, allowing one of the kunai from earlier to lodge itself in her left calf. After disengaging, the two combatants charged each other, hoping to cripple the other for a quick kill but meeting the same results. After clashing one final time, they both were left skidding on the ground. But, while the man was relatively unharmed, Temari sustained damage to her already-been-stabbed leg. And she was made helpless by the throwing blades that lifted her off the ground and pinned her to a tree.
"That was fun," said the man in the tone of voice that haunts the nightmares of all boys ages 5-9 in Oto, "maybe after I kill your brothers, we can have some more 'fun' Temari-chan," before caressing her cheek, leaving her trembling before her world went black.
Kankuro's POV
That rat-fucking bastard! That gold-fish dick! He dared to touch his sister like that! This caused him launch trap after trap from his puppets… before they ran out. And the man finally sensed his location. And knocked him out, "Cause' a good puppet master is hard to come by, and if you don't work out we can always sell you to Orochimaru," before dropping his limp form next to his sister and jumping off to find Gaara.
Gaara's POV
Damnit, Damnit, DAMNIT, GOD FUCKING DAMNIT ALL TO HELL! Turns out almost all the sand in the cave was turned to glass by a large bundle of glowing red chakra, and the small amount in the cave wasn't from the surrounding rocks, and the bedrock was useless for the same reason. All the sand he had could only form a small 3rd eye, letting him see everything that happened to his family. But, as he was planning, the small amount of sand he had compressing into small balls to be fired at his opponent, he and the sand were soaked by a sudden deluge of water.
"Stupid little demon spawn, totally useless without your sand," said the man stepping into the cave, "and to top it off, I heard that the Konoha civilians will pay more money for this blond gaki's head than the head of Uchiha Itachi."
"Who, who are you?" Gaara said, fear for his siblings and best/only friend plainly evident in his voice.
"If it means that much to you, I'm Sunamaru Kaze, your executioner!" said the Nin, kunai in his hand descending towards Gaara's stunned form…
(Me: Cliffhanger no juts…
Shiki: STOP SHITFACE! *throws shuriken at the author*
Me: NEVERMIND! *runs for my life*)
Before the blade was caught by a pale hand, leaking silver blood. Gaara, shocked that his head was still attached to his neck, followed the hand to its source. Said source turned out to be a tall, lithe, orange-wearing blond with jet black tips.
"I don't know who the HELL you are, but no one hurts my friends (Except Kankuro)!" shouted Naruto, still gripping the blade, before he suddenly vanished, but an imprint of his fist was left in Sunamaru's face. And, one by one, similar imprints appeared on Sunamaru's gut, arms, legs, face, and… other head.(Ouch!) After that though, finally deciding to be merciful apparently, stab wounds emerged on all 7 of the standard vital spots. Finally, Naruto reappeared, and walked up to Gaara.
"So, what's the deal with that guy attacking you?" asked the fox jailor. One explanation later, Naruto said, "Gaara-san, I'm sorry. I guess people just can't accept people like us. But, I'm planning to create a new village. Seeing as you can't go back to yours, want to come with me?" asked Naruto. Gaara then proceeded to say" Yes, so long as you don't do that to me. Ever."
After reawakening the other members of the Subaku trio, they began plans to leave fire country. About 5 minutes into their trek they heard footsteps in the trees behind them. "You my come out, we know that you're there," said Gaara in an emotionless monotone. After about 13 seconds, a small figure came out of the trees. That figure was…
"Hinata?!?" shouted Naruto with disbelief. After all, who wouldn't be shocked at having the shy-est person in the world follow you all the way to the border of Hi no Kuni? Or maybe it was the fact that the area around her eyes was reddish and puffy and she was shaking with barely controlled sobs.
"N-N-Naruto-kun, I-I-I'm s-sorry!" cried Hinata before she enveloped him in a hug, losing all control and crying her eyes out in his chest.
After giving her a moment to calm down, he was finally able to ask, "Hinata, what's going on? Why are you crying for me?" Although he meant it to sound as, 'why are you crying', to her it came out in its real form of 'why would you cry for me'.
"I-I they banished you! T-The council said y-you can't ever c-come back!" she cried.
"Hinata-chan, it's OK," said Naruto in a soothing voice, trying to get her to calm down, not even noticing the suffix he had added.(Again, all shall be explained)
"B-But what a-about your dream? You're t-the future Hokage," she said quietly.
"Why would you say that? No one believes me when I say that," the blond ninja responded with sadly.
"THAT'S NOT TRUE! You could be the best Hokage the village ever had if they let you!" Hinata shouted.
"Hinata-chan," was all that Naruto could say, stunned. In fact, the blackjack game the sand sibs had got going while they were talking had stopped to check for genjutsu.
"I just know that you'll make a great leader, because I-" Hinata started, but ended up whispering the last part into his hideous jumpsuit. (I only say that for the readers. I actually liked his old one more than the shippuden one.
"What was that Hinata-chan," asked Naruto.
"I said I love you," said the blue haired girl, turned away from him in fear of rejection, bright blush adorning her cheek as she silently prayed that he would accept her. That he wouldn't call her ugly and turn her away. That he might be able to love her back even the smallest fraction of what she felt for him.
She was answered by the Uzumaki moving his head by her ear and whispering something, before moving his head back to its original position, before Hinata said, "Oh and Hokage-sama and Jiraiya-sama wanted me to give this to you if I could find you," before handing him a mid-sized scroll.
"Thanks Hinata-chan. Remember, I'll be back. I may not be me, but I'll come for you. I promise," said the Jinchuuriki, before Hinata quickly moves her head up and gives him a kiss and faints. It was little more than a quick press of the lips, not some long drawn out affair (Hint Hint other authors) but it conveyed the one thing she wanted it to. She really did love him. That is before a single shout of "DAMNIT" shattered the mood.
"That' 550 ryo from you Kankuro-nii-san and 360 from you Temari-nee-chan," said Gaara before collecting his winnings.
"Y-you guys were betting on whether or not we would kiss?" asked Naruto, outraged.
"No. We knew that would happen. We were betting on who would start it. Gaara won," said Kankuro.
"And that's another 175 ryo for him thinking we'd bet on whether it would happen or not," said Gaara as a grumbling puppet-fucker passed him a wad of bills, before Gaara began to count his cash-wad.
"C'mon, we need to get going. We need to get ourselves followers," said Naruto.
"You know, you never did tell us how we'd get the man power and funds to make it work," said Temari.
"It's quite simple, Temari-chan…"
Konoha gate, 1:00 later
Hinata was able to get back in to the village without any problems due to all the guards either drunk from partying or dead/KOed via the Hokage. Getting into the Hokage's room on the other hand…
"We're sorry, Hyuga-sama, but we can't let you in," said an Anbu with a hunter-style mask, patterned like the wind in a storm.
"B-But I've got i-i-info on one of h-her missing s-shinobi," stuttered Hinata.
"Look, we've been getting 'info' on Uchiha-teme ever sense he left," said the Anbu, who we shall now name 'Kouryuu' for being intelligent. (He will come into play again, trust me.)
"But it's about Naruto-kun!" shouted Hinata, slightly mad anyone think she'd bring info about Uchiha-buri-bo-I! Wait, did she just think that?
"Uzumaki-sama? Sorry, I've just been flooded with girls your age with news that 'Uchiha-kun left because Sakura-saseko abused him.' Hokage-sama asked that all info about Uzumaki-sama went directly to her. I'll let you in," said Kouryuu.
After walking in, Hinata immediately went to her desk and woke her up from a sake-based stupor.
"Ah, Hin-Hin-Hinashta! You'sh get dat gaki hish shrole?" asked a very VERY VERY drunk Tsunade.
"Y-Yes Hokage-sama. I-I also l-learned something else," said Hinata.
Flashback
"Hinata, when you go back to the village I want you, Baa-chan, and anyone she thinks trustworthy to go into my house, move the bed, and climb down the trap door. You'll learn the rest later. Oh, and I'll have to fake my death. Don't give up hope," whispered Naruto into her ear.
Flashback end
"Let's go. I'll bring Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Gai," said Tsunade, having sobered up quickly.
Later, Naruto's house
"OK, we got the bed moved, the jumpsuits burned in case he comes back for them, and the evil monkey in his closet killed. Let's open the trap door," said Tsunade.
5 minutes later (Yes, that was all for comedic effect. I WASTED 16 SECONDS OF YOUR LIFE! HAHAHAHA!)
After a VERY difficult climb down for the thicker and wider of the party members, they finally found themselves in a small chamber. In the middle of it was a black book placed on a pedestal.
"YOSH! Kakashi, my eternal rival, we have found the key to your most youthful and incorruptible students thoughts! It's always wonderful to find one whose flames of passion and youth are too bright and grand to be contained in him! YOSH!" shouted a large green evil abomination.
"Let's just grab the thing and get out of here. This place smells," said the only blond in the group. Before the rest of the group could stop her, she had already grabbed the book. Then the room began to shake.
"You do realize that you just took obvious bate from the greatest prankster the village has ever known, right?" said Kakashi.
"A-And Naruto-kun has t-traps all over t-this room," stuttered Hinata.
"SHUT UP! How was I expected to know all this?" asked Tsunade.
"Yes, let us not criticize Hokage-sama. She had merely allowed her flames of passion and youth to control her! YOSH!" guess who.
"… I take it back. Anyways, let's get out of here!" shouted the Hokage.
END!
Me: Hi again! Look, I'm sorry for making this chapter so short. I'm not good at setup. Anyway, the next chapter is going to be a time-skip thing where everything is explained through flashbacks. If you don't like that, SCREW OFF! I do accept flames if they tell me what I did wrong, and I won't update till this story has 10 reviews. That means that you're free to use the 'erase cookies' function on your browser to submit extra reviews! I NEED you all to help stoke my ego! My flames of self importance are burning out!
Shiki: You didn't introduce me! I'LL KILL YOU!
Me: Sorry, got to go!
Shiki: GET BACK HERE! I'LL CASTRADE YOU WITH A BLUNT, RUSTY, SERATED SPOON!
Me: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
