Well, here we are once again, a new story, and as usual its in the Naruto section. I seriously need to write fics for other things, but Naruto is all I can really connect with, but maybe I will write a one shot for another section, eventually. Alright on to the story, in this s tory Naruto is starting out with Sasori nearing the end of his training, the reason I start with it like this is so I can do flash backs. Naruto CAN make human puppets already, he cant control hundreds of puppets like Sasori but he can easily use about twenty puppets on each hand, he knows a fair amoutn of ninjutsu, his taijutsu is decent enough that if somehow his puppets or chakra is disabled he stands a chance of disabling long enough to hide and recover. He knows low level genjutsu, and some mid to high level. He can perform Academy jutsu without hand signs, with the exception of the simple clone, he instead knows Shadow clone and can use it nwithout hand signs. Lets see he learns about his mother once he gets to Konoha and goes into his apartment. Alright now enough with the beginning lets get on with the story
Naruto sighed for what felt like the hundredth time that hour, Sasori told him to wait while he retrieved something for the blonde. About half an hour later Sasori walked into the room with a scroll in hand.
"Alright Naruto, today we are going to go and find someone for you to turn into a human puppet, since your last one exploded from you using it's, finishing, jutsu.
flash back already?
An eight year old Naruto summons a human puppet with strange seals all over it's body.
"Hmm, that's a new one Naruto." Sasori says as he lashes his tail out towards Naruto with the Hiruko puppet. Naruto only smirked as he twitched his fingers and the puppet rushed in, grabbed the tail, and latched onto Hiruko, much to Sasori's shock.
"Say bye bye to Hiruko, Sasori-sensei." Naruto says as his puppet starts glowing with a brilliant white light that nearly blinds Sasori, the puppet then explodes, managing to tear through Hiruko with ease and sending Sasori skidding across the ground, almost singing his puppet body
Flash back end
"Heh, I still can't believe Hiruko didn't stand up to that little blast, I was just using the puppet's chakra, imagine if I had mixed my chakra with it when I did that." Naruto said, Sasori shuddered slightly.
"I'd rather not, after all if you had I would be dead and you wouldn't have a sensei for puppetry unless you went to Suna, I can almost picture their reaction when you say you trained with me." Sasori said, a small chuckle gracing him as he pictured Naruto being ruled in as Kazekage in exchange for their lives. "Well we need to get going, I know a place were plenty of strong ninja have lost their lives at." Sasori said as he motioned for Naruto to follow him, the blonde did as told and within a few hours the two reached their destination, a large burnt plain with skeletons littering the place, Naruto scanned the area in front of him and saw a ninja fighting to stand up, he looked like he had an incredible amount of strength, if the large slab of metal on his back was any indication of his strength, what Naruto saw about to take flight excited him even more, with a quick unsealing he pulled out his favorite hand made puppet, the large, powerful, deadly One winged Angel(1) with a long sword with the words Masamune engraved in it.
"Hey sensei. can animals be turned into puppets like humans?" Naruto asked, Sasori nodded, not even noticing the large creature that Naruto had his eyes set upon. "Alright, here we go, Sephiroth." Naruto said as he moved his hands around, the puppet, which he named Sephiroth, flew forwards towards the enormous creature, which Sasori had noticed once Naruto had Sephiroth lunge at it, he was about to interfere when he saw Masamune glittering with a type of poison that could kill an elephant instantly with a small drop, so surely a sword coated in it would be enough to take down a creature that size, right? Wrong. Though the poison did make the enormous creature fall to the ground and put it on it's last leg, Naruto grinned evilly and noticed the giant creature split into two.
"Naruto, you just killed a creature known as Bahamut Zero, it's split forms are Bahamut and Neo Bahamut, I commend you on your incredible luck, the dragon must have been incredibly tired , or had a poison in it's system already when your poison entered, making it's immune system shut down, well I know you've never worked on animal puppets before so I will help you with it, you SHOULD, in theory, be able to make the two merge to form Bahamut Zero. Though to use it efficiently you will need to learn how to control as many puppets as, at least, Chiyo-baasama can at once, which I think is about fifty five on each hand, but if you reach my level, a hundred on each hand, then you could pretty much easily handle it with no problems." Sasori said as the two began work on the two dragons, five hours later and both puppeteers were panting. "I didn't thing it could even possibly take THAT long for puppets, and those things barely stand any taller than seven feet. Oh well, with all the gadgets you wanted put in them I'm actually surprised it didn't take longer." Naruto chuckled at his sensei's words before pulling out two scrolls and sealing the two dragons away.
"Hey, Sasori-sensei, you said you knew something about my parents when we first began training, you said you would tell me before I left, so what is it you know about them?" Sasori sighed before taking a deep breath.
"Well I guess foxes remember as well as elephants. Well your father was the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and your mother, despite popular belief, is Kushina Yagami, not Kushina Uzumaki, she went under that last name in an attempt to stop the Konoha council to make her breeding stock so a genius would be born, though your father joked that if his son turned out to be a genius he would kiss Iwa's kage, I bet he is probably thanking the Kyuubi for attacking when it did." Sasori said, Naruto chuckled lightly at the joke, he then realized something.
"WHAT! My dad is THE fourth Hokage!?" Naruto shouted, any training in emotions gone for the moment, Sasori rubbed his puppet head and let out a sigh.
"Yes, but don't let it get to your head." Sasori said, Naruto calmed himself down and agreed to not let it get to his head on purpose. "Alright, now lets go back to our 'home' and see if you can even manage to touch me with your new puppets." Sasori said after he and Naruto began walking, the blonde smirked and the two were about to take off at an incredible pace before Naruto rushed to the man with the iron slab on his back, an hour later and Naruto had finished the human puppet. "No gadgets?"
"Nope, its kinda like your Hiruko was made for, except instead of being inside it I'm going to put fake skin and clothes like mine over it, the sword will be hidden as well, and I will be hiding in the shadows, mind you this will only be during B or higher ranked missions, or during certain exams." Naruto said before the two puppeteers vanished in a swirl of smoke.
Back at their 'home', which was really a cave with an enourmous clearing, Naruto and Sasori were preparing themselves for their largest, and probably most destructive, spar.
"I'll let you have the first three moves Naruto." Sasori said as Naruto unsealed both Bahamut and Neo Bahamut and had them climb high into the sky, Naruto on their backs. "One move left before you lose Naruto." Sasori said and Naruto smirked before making hundreds of Shadow clones.
"You said I would need to be able to control a lot of puppets at one time to use Zero, right? Well here it is!" Naruto shouted as he combined the two dragon puppets, forming the large, six winged, deadly looking Bahamut Zero. "Now feel something with the power of a nuclear explosion!" Naruto shouted as Bahamut Zero's wings locked out and a focused beam of energy shot towards Sasori, who was in the repaired and strengthened Hiruko. Though Hiruko seemed to be doing perfect under the attack, you could hear Hiruko's wooden frame creaking, Sasori was sweating from the intense strength of the blast. Finally the attack ended and Hiruko fell apart, Sasori stood up and summoned his Kazekage puppet and had the iron sand rush towards the giant Dragon. Naruto smirked, having prepared for the iron sand, his newest human puppet launched himself out in front of the iron sand and, using it's giant sword, deflected most of the sand. Naruto separated Bahamut Zero and Sasori saw the Neo Bahamut puppet power up an attack, and decided to let Naruto have this spar.
"Well Naruto, you win." Sasori said, Naruto grinned as he resealed his puppets and fell to one knee, having used so much chakra to control the dragons, the human puppet, make his clones, and forming and controlling Zero, he could barely move. "I honestly figured you would be passed out already, but I guess the Kyuubi is helping a bit." Sasori said as he helped Naruto into the cave, where the two laid down for the night.
The next morning an old man with long white hair and a large scroll on his back appeared in front of the cave, he saw the broken Hiruko and the enormous crater made from Zero, he assumed the worst and ran inside, and saw Naruto and Sasori sleeping, both sprawled out in their beds with drool, well, drooling out of their mouths.
"Hey, I'm back, you know Jiraiya, Naruto's time is up with training with you Sasori." Jiraiya said as he prodded the two until they woke up.
"You know, this kind of sucks, I won't be able to see or help my student since I'm a nuke-nin. Any ideas Jiraiya-san?" Sasori asked, doubting any serious chances of being allowed into any ninja villages.
"Actually, yeah. You could change your name, and since you wear Hiruko no one knows your true body, so just dye your hair and go by another name, I promise I won't tell anyone your true identity, I'll just say your a puppet master who was kicked out of Suna for failing a mission that was impossible to complete in the first place." Jiraiya said, Sasori grinned and the three began their two day trek to Konoha. During the first day they stopped off at a town to have Sasori's hair dyed black with crimson edging his bangs. After that the three resumed their travel without stopping, it was afternoon the second day when they saw the gates of Konoha.
"Wow, not much has changed since I left to be trained." Naruto said as he walked through the gates, he got very few looks of hatred, they looked at him as if he was like them, normal.
Once the group got to the Hokage's office Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya, Sasori, and Naruto in turn.
"Well, I know your Jiraiya and your Naruto, but who are you stranger?" the aged man asked Sasori.
"I was a puppet master from Suna, but my team, with me in command, was given a mission we couldn't possibly complete and my team was killed I was exiled for failing the impossible mission. As for my name, just call me Tenshi. I wish to be a Shinobi of the leaf" Sasori said, hoping the lie worked.
"Nice try, Akasuna no Sasori." Sarutobi said, Sasori sighed as he turned to leave. "Where are you going? I never said I would not allow you to become a Shinobi here, after all you trained Naruto without being forced to." Sarutobi said, Sasori grinned before turning to face the old man.
"Well I was honestly expecting you to kill me as soon as I entered the office." Sasori said as he tossed a scroll to Sarutobi, who opened it and read the contents.
"Is all of this true? Your stating that Naruto is of high chunin level with the exception of puppetry, strategy, and politics?" Sarutobi asked, Sasori nodded.
"And as my review states he needs to be a genin so he won't be denied the experience of interacting with others his age, plus I'm sure a jounin sensei can help him with learning better ninjutsu and genjutsu, other than that he would make a perfect chunin." Sasori explained, Sarutobi reread the scroll and rubbed the bridge of his wrinkled nose.
"Well, the academy isn't about to have a genin exam for another semester, so about three months, he will have to deal with it." Naruto groaned in the corner.
"Can't ya just throw me in with a team still in rotation?" Naruto asked, his eyes pleading.
"How about this, I'll let you flip a coin, heads I'll put you on the team, tails in the academy." Naruto almost died laughing.
"Wierd way to decide, but here we go." Naruto said as he flipped a coin up into the air and snatched out of the air and revealed it was heads.
"Alright, but honestly, your going to wish you had to suffer mental destruction from a Yamanaka instead of the only team still in rotation from last year." Sarutobi said, Naruto shrugged, how bad could it be?
"They should be here in three, two, one." Sarutobi said, once he said one the doors burst open and two males with green spandex jumpsuits, a Hyuga, and a girl with her hair up into buns stood there. Naruto was ok with the Hyuga and girl, but now he knew why he should have used a different coin.
"Uhh, is it too late to change my mind?" Naruto asked, Sarutobi nodded.
"For three months you will be training with Team Gai. Sensei is Maito Gai, his look alike is Rock Lee, the Hyuga is Neji Hyuga, and the girl is Tenten. You four this is Naruto Uzumaki, and until the next genin exam he will be on your team." the sensei looked ready to explode.
"YOSH, OUR YOUTHFUL TEAM SHALL GET A YOUTHFUL NEW MEMBER! LEE IF WE CAN'T GET YOUR NEW TEAMMATE FAMILIAR WITH KONOHA WITHIN A FEW HOURS I SHALL RUN A THOUSAND LAPS AROUND KONOHA WITH A FIVE HUNDRED POUND BOULDER ON MY BACK!" Naruto laughed.
"That's all? Run around something twice the size of Konoha with chakra strings pulling you to the starting point if you slow down ANY, if that isn't a work out I don't know WHAT is." Naruto said, Gai turned away from his team and help his fist in front of his face.
"So youthful, he can use chakra strings and has run aroudn something twice the size of Konoha." Gai said with tears pouring from his eyes.
"Gai-sensei, if we can't match his youthfulness, I will run to Kumo and back thirty times." Lee said, a fire in his eyes.
"Heh, alright Lee. I will be the one to use the chakra strings on you, if you slow down even ONCE yo ustart from lap one. Since you are so sure fifty laps around Konoha with my chakra string claw slowing you down." Naruto said evilly "Oh and by the way, they won't let go until either I allow them to or you run fifty laps completely." Lee raised his fist and bowed.
"Alright Naruto-san, place the chakra claw on me." Naruto sighed before reaching his hands out in front of him and hundreds of chakra strings shot out and formed an enormous claw on Lee's back, who attempted to take off at top speed but could only manage a jog.
"If you need me I'll be reaquanting myself with Konoha." Naruto said as he walked off. Sasori following behind him.
Naruto quickly picked up on the scent of alcohol and killer intent, he turned to the right and peered into the alley nearby, he saw an obviously drunk man about to have his way with a girl probably in the academy, Naruto usually would have just decapitated the man and been on his way, but he was feeling more than a little violent today.
"Hey, drunkard." Naruto said, the drunk man turned away from the girl long enough to see Naruto.
"Oh great the -hic- demon brat is back. Juss go and get a pike shoved through your -hic- damn head Kyuubi." the man drunkenly said before turning his attention to the virgin in front of him.
"Heh, you just broke the law fucker." Naruto said as he summoned a spider puppet that stood as tall as he did, the drunkard was now paying full attention to Naruto, but the girl was too scared to move "This is one of my favorite puppets hand crafted from wood, I call it Onigumo's revenge. Wanna know why?" the drunkard managed a clumsy nod, Naruto grinned "Because of it's primary weapon." Naruto said as he skillfully maneuvered the large puppet and had it open it's large jaws and its body, from the body thousands of tiny wooden spiders jumped out, from the jaws chakra strings launched out and connected to the tiny spiders, while the man swatted some of the small ones away he was overwhelmed once they began to attack in large numbers and began ripping his skin off, once the skin on the man's epidermis was gone Naruto pulled a kunai out and threw it through the man's revealed heart. "I never COULD remember the exact location of a human's heart, that is why Onigumo's revenge was made." Naruto said as he watched the man die.
The girl, whose foot had apparently been broken, was limping away, as Naruto got close to her, she dropped to the ground and whimpered.
"If your going to rape me, just go ahead and do it!" the girl shouted, she braced herself for rape when she was lifted into the air, but opened her eyes when nothing came.
"Why would I rape someone? Even some of the worst missing nins aren't that bad. Besides raping a girl is for those who can't get a girlfriend." Naruto said, using his chakra strings to keep her from having to move around. "What's your name anyway?"
"My name is Ino Yamanaka. whats your name?" Ino asked Naruto, who only grinned a bit, his first friend in Konoha.
"I'm Naruto Nami-uhh I mean Uzumaki." Naruto said, almost letting it slip his true last name was Namikaze.
"Well it was nice to meet you Naruto-kun, I'll tell my friends about what a great guy you are." Ino said as she tried to dash off, only for her foot to give out under her.
"Hey, Ino-san, I know some medical jutsu, come here and let me heal your foot." Naruto said as Ino limped over to Naruto, who began concentrating on making his chakra become medical chakra, after a few moments Naruto's hands began glowing green, he grabbed Ino's foot lightly and felt the bones healing back into the right places. "Now, I may not be a licensed medical ninja, but I will say you need to avoid jumping on roofs and such for a few days, have a safe day Ino." Naruto said as he watched Ino walk off, behind him he could feel a presence following him. "Oi, whoever the hell is following me, get ya ass out and let me get a look at ya." the person who was following gasped and walked out into the open with a kunai.
"I may not have liked my dad, but you killed a Shinobi of the leaf, marking you as a threat to the leaf, you make one move and I will kill you. Even though you saved my friend i am not afraid to kill you." Naruto groaned, he just couldn't catch a break.
"Look, how bout this, I spar with you, the winner gets to do whatever to the loser, if you win I die, if I win you don't kill me, simple as that." Naruto offered, the girl nodded and rushed at Naruto wit a sloppy stance. "Eh, if your in the academy they need to be whipped inta shape. I know, if I win you train with me and my friend for a while, if I lose you get to do whatever you want, and even though this is lewd, lets just say I'm large." Naruto said, eliciting the response he wanted from the girl "Oh before we begin whats ya name?"
"Sakura Haruno." Sakura said as she stabbed Naruto in the chest, Naruto only laughed as the flesh fell off to reveal the Sephiroth puppet. "AHHH!!" Sakura shouted as the Sephiroth puppet took off into the air and hovered there, the Masamune glittering with a paralysis poison.
"Oi, Sakura-san, I win." Naruto said from the sahdows, the puppet dived downwards, only for one of Sasor's puppets to block the blade.
"Naruto, you said so yourself, you won." Sasori said before turning around "If you need me I will be acquainting myself with Konoha."
"Hai, sensei." Naruto said before turning to Sakura. "Alright, now I said the winner could do what they wanted to the loser, so how bout we go get to know each other over a nice dinner?" Sakura clumsily nodded. "Alrighty then, ah by the way did they tear down the old run down apartment near the Kage faces?" Sakura shook her head "Good, well meet me on top of the first Hokage's head in two hours." Naruto said, Sakura nodded and walked off, shaking like a leaf.
Naruto walked to the old apartment, which was in a state of disrepair, but Naruto didn't care. As he walked into his room he was alerted to someone hiding.
"Oi, whose there?" Naruto asked, the person hiding stumbled over and stood up, brushing a bit of dirt off his black robe with red clouds on it, his face was incredibly snake like.
"I am the great Orochimaru, and you, child, are the genius who is born from a Yagami once every thousand years, as such I am here to offer you my occasional services and give you the weapon you so rightly deserve." Orochimaru said, pulling a guard-less sword out and handing it to Naruto. "That is the TRUE Kusanagi-no-tsurugi, it's blade is coated with a potent poison that can change depending on what you want it to be, channel chakra to the blade, it will, on first use, flash a list of all the poisons it has been dipped into, which is almost all known types except those Sasori has made." Orochimaru said, he bowed slightly before vanishing with a poof of smoke accompanied by soft music. Naruto unsheathed the sword and focused a bit of chakra into it, he saw a flash of light and a list of poisons the sword had been dipped into appeared in his mind and memory.
End of chapter
Next chapter should be significantly longer. Currently I am working on about five different stories, catch me on deviant art under the name Hakamori-No-Haka. Anyway I haven't scrapped any fics unless they say completed. Anyway expect a Devil May Cry crossover later today, if I don't get it out today then tomorrow after I get outta school I will upload it. I might come back and change this if I dislike the thought of Naruto being a Yagami, however he will, for now, stay with the surname of Uzumaki to stop the council from attempting to force him to breed with women who serve no purpose other than, I believe the term is breedng stock, not a dundred percent sure on that so correct me if I'm wrong. Later guys see ya next chapter, or story.
