Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Tenchi Muyo
"Oh come on where could he keep them I've looked everywhere I can think of" mutters a 16 year old boy while searching through files in a desk inside the office of the Masaki shrine. This boy was quite handsome by most people's views he was about 6foot 1 with spiky sun kissed blonde hair which hung down just past his shoulders, had deep blue eyes that shone like sapphires which at this moment and time sparkled with mischief and curiosity. His skin was quite tanned from training and working outside quite often and one of the most obvious things that could be seen at a first glance would be six lines that ran across his cheeks three at each side giving the impression that he had whiskers. They also helped give him a more animalistic look.
The name of this blonde young man was Naruto Uzumaki Masaki a genin of the ninja village konohagakure and jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. The blonde had just moved to searching through another drawer when suddenly the sliding door opened. Immediately thinking that he had been caught he turned expecting to see his grandfather standing at the door ready to yell at him but at the door he saw nothing except a sleeping cat that liked to stay around Masaki shrine. Confused Naruto just continues to stare at the door and then a voice came from over his shoulder "It was curiosity killed the cat Naruto"
Naruto then screamed leaping from where he was and slamming head first into the wall on the other side of the office and proceeding to slowly slide down the wall in cartoon fashion while thinking 'how on earth does a man as old as that keep sneaking up on someone with ninja training'. Pulling himself off of the ground Naruto then saw the amused grin on his grandfather's face "You weren't by any chance looking for these" after saying that his Grandfather takes out an old key ring with a few keys on it and Naruto blurted out "So that's where they are" then clamped his hands over his mouth realising what he had just said. Smirking Katsuhito then said "you weren't trying to go in there against my orders were you?" he asked to his now frowning grandson and he answered with an unenthusiastic "no"
. "It is the ancient law of this Masaki shrine and you are no exception to this legacy" at this point Naruto started to pout "heh heh but you really want to see what's in there don't you" then Naruto's mood changed so quickly you might have thought that he was bi-polar as he started grinning and nodding enthusiastically. Then his grandfather did something he didn't expect, he said "well then their right here" patting the pocket in his robe then he said "come take them from me show me how good you really are".
This hadn't happened before, anytime he was caught before he had simply gotten scolded and extra chores to do around the shrine but now he as being given a chance and he wasn't going to let it go to waste. Naruto suddenly sprang to action going to attack with a left hook but it was a feint he was hoping to work and was actually going for a right uppercut to the ribs he was across the room in a second but his feint was easily seen and fist caught by the old man who was now a bit confused even with his weighted clothing on and his normal weights his grandson seemed to be moving slowly writing it off he kicked Naruto's foot out from under him and tossed him through the screen door that led to the office's closet. He then stood and said "work harder, also up your weights and don't forget chores are part of your training"
Taking the groan he got as an answer as a yes he then proceeded to leave closing the door behind him. Naruto got up looking around then he smirked revealing the key ring being held in his mouth and he said "sorry grandpa but deception is a ninja's best tool" then he put the key's into his pocket and went to finish his chores and training for the day so he could go into the caves that night. Ever since he had first arrived here he had always wondered about the demon trapped in the cave because he knew from personal experience that demons weren't always as bad as people always made them out to be.

Later That Night
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That night Naruto snuck out of the house that he lived in for the moment it was his grandfather's and was very close to the shrine. He went straight to the cave, he had spent an awful lot of time at this cave during the stay at the shrine with his grandpa but he really didn't know why. He also found this a good place to continue what he used to do in konoha during his childhood when he had nothing to do or had a really bad day and needed to get things off of his chest. He used to go to one of his favourite places to be in all of Konoha on top of the fourth's head on the Hokage monument and would just talk about his day and what had happened and he always got the feeling that someone was listening.
He got the same feeling from this place well, well at the start it felt that whatever he was feeling didn't want him there but after getting that from practically everyone in Konoha he simply ignored it. Then day after day he returned telling his life story to what he thought was no one but it just felt nice saying it out loud like he had used to do during his childhood, therapeutic might have been the word for it. After he had started to tell his story the feeling of not being wanted faded away and was slowly replaced with a comforting aura so he had come to like this place a lot once or twice he would even swear that he had felt someone embrace him or hold him from behind but he played this off as just a trick of the mind.
He moved inside the cave and went up to the old iron gates where his grandpa had first told him the story of the demon and how it was defeated by his ancestor a man called Yosho how he had used his sword to seal the demon in this cave so it couldn't get out ever again. He shook his head to clear out the memories and used the key to unlock the padlock on the gate and went in further he came into a chamber that seemed to be the end of the cave and looked around it didn't look like there was anything special.
Sure after his training with jiraiya and his grandfather he had learnt that not everything powerful had to be big and flashy but still was it too much to ask that some of the old legends had things that were big and flashy something impressive that he could show off. He sighed looking around again and spotted what looked like a small shrine he went and opened up the small doors and inside as the handle of a sword "Aha" he exclaimed as he grabbed hold of the sword and tried to pull it out but it was stuck so he pumped some chakra into his arms then easily yanked it out but he used a bit too much and he ended up staggering back and smashing the hilt against a rock.
"Ah crap" he said quickly looking for any damage and was quite amazed when he found none at all. When he used chakra to enhance his strength he was very strong he wasn't anywhere near Tsunade's level, but he doubted he would ever get to that point because of the chakra control needed, but he was still strong enough to brake apart rocks and leave a decent sized crater in the ground. So hen he saw that what looked like a regular wooden hilt without a scratch on it he was intrigued.
"Maybe there is something special about this sword he mused to himself. He then pulled the blade out of the sheath and immediately sweat dropped "Apparently not" he said depressingly as he looked at the piece of rust that was once a blade "This is supposed to be the sword that cut through a rock" he deadpanned then swung it around a bit and accidentally hit a small foot high rock with it. The blade then crumbled to dust. This was the point he started to panic "oh man oh man oh man grandpa's gonna kill me".
Then the rock that he hit fell down spilt cleanly into two pieces and he stopped moving and just stared at the rock 'huh guess it can cut a rock' was the thought that went through his head at that point. Then the cave wall behind the cut rock began splitting apart to reveal another passageway he walked toward the passage and squeezed past the two peaces of wall and then immediately stepped in water. "huh" was the most intelligent thing he could come up with while looking at the floor which seemed to be separated pieces of flat smooth stone with water filling the gaps between the pieces.
'That's definitely not natural' he thought to himself as he then proceeded to walk the sloped passageway using chakra to help keep a grip on the slippery surface. When he got to the bottom he was in another chamber 2 or 3 times the size of the last one with what seemed like a glowing pool in the centre of the room. Naruto slowly walked towards the pool to see what it was not noticing three small jewels in the sword hilt he carried glowing blue. As he reached the pool he peered in and saw a glowing ball of blue light "Oh it's just a glowing ball of light that's okay … A Wha!" He then looked closer and saw a petrified corpse that had cyan coloured hair and was wearing a demon mask.
"So the legend was true" Naruto gasped out then his grip on the sword hilt lessened and he dropped it to the floor and it fell with a loud clang scaring him as he jumped back and started patting his heart. " I should probably get out of here he said to himself as he went forward and bent down to grab the sword hilt and just as he grabbed it a hand got a steel grip on his wrist. He then started saying a mantra in his head 'please don't what I think it is, please don't be what I think it is, please don't be what I think it is' he then looked up straight into the demon mask on the head of the petrified body and thought something that pretty much described the situation 'ah fuck'.
He then tried to pry his arm free key word 'tried' the mummy had him trapped and he couldn't get it to budge. He was then pulled down closer by being grabbed and pulled by his shoulder. He then closed his eyes thinking he probably doesn't want to see what was about to happen and to his surprise the mummy started to caress his cheek with one hand. Then it, or what he desperately hoped now was a she, started moving its face closer to his tilting it to the side like it was about to kiss him he was so stunned he didn't move his body not listening to his thoughts and instincts telling him to get the hell out of there.
Then just as they were about to kiss a flash of light was given off from the sword causing the mummy to stagger back and Naruto as well. Then Naruto regained his sense's and started to head back out the way he came in the last thing he saw was the glowing golden eyes of the mummy.
He sprinted up the path and through the narrow path that allowed him entrance into the first chamber he turned and made handseals quicker than the untrained eye could see so his hands simply looked like a blur and when he finished he used a low level doton jutsu he had been taught from his time with Jiraiya to seal off the entrance. To reinforce it he bit his thumb and started writing kanji on the wall when he finished he pumped chakra into it and it glowed blue showing it was done. He then started to make his way back to the house thinking 'I'm pretty sure grandpa doesn't need to need to know about what happened tonight'.

The Next Day
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto sighed as he walked through the town he was now in, it was the closest place to the shrine where you could get shopping but it was still miles away. Of course he was the one sent to get them as always. 'I really need to learn to stop bragging when grandpa asks how far I think I've come along in my training all it ever does is get me more work to do' he thought as he walked down the street of the town.
He then saw out of the corner of his eye a couple of girls around his age pointing at him blushing and giggling. He looked over at them and grinned his fox like grin at them causing them all to blush and quickly look away. He chuckled to himself as he continued walking that was the type of thing he wished girls in Konoha would do but they all just thought of him as the 'dead last' or the 'dope'.
It didn't seem to matter how many things he did that they couldn't like summoning the toad boss and defeating Gaara when he let out Shukaku or mastering an a rank technique in a that took a sannin months to master in a week and in doing so earning the necklace of the first Hokage. No he was below the others because he got the worst rankings in the academy, which he had a good damn reason for that being he was never actually taught until he was in Iruka's class.
During the trip he also realized that Kakashi hadn't really taught him anything either only tree climbing but the hypocrite had taken Sauske and taught him for the third exams, if Naruto hadn't found Ero-Sennin by accident he would have been completely screwed because Kakashi had pawned him off on the closet pervert. Kakashi even taught Sauske his own personal jutsu which had been used by Sauske and shoved through his chest and he never admitted that any of it was his fault he even had the gall to say Jiraiya shouldn't have taught him the Rasengan that he wasn't "mature" enough to learn it 'so his version of mature is using it to try and kill his comrades' he thought.
He had, had a lot more realizations on this trip the main one being he couldn't give a shit about Sauske-teme anymore what's the point in trying to save someone who's had so many chances already. Even if they did get him back the council would get him off any charges and he just run away again. He couldn't even remember why he went after him anyway 'oh that's right I promised Sakura I would get him back'.
Thinking of Sakura had him groaning inwardly 'what did I ever like about her I mean Sauske acted like she was completely useless, which she was for quite awhile, but she still followed him like a puppy thinking he was god's gift to women everywhere me on the other hand I was kind and nice to her and I got physically and verbally abused'.
Thinking about his past in Konoha suddenly had him frowning and feeling a lot older than anyone his age should ever feel. He didn't have anywhere he could get it out here, like at the cave or the Hokage monument, so he put on a fake smile which he was quite used to doing by now and decided that it was still pretty early so he could probably take a nap somewhere and if he went at shinobi speed could get back without any problems.
With that in mind he started to head towards the park area which was mostly park but there were some houses and such around the area. He walked into the park a bit looking for a tree with a suitable branch to sleep on. Eventually finding one he set the shopping on the branch and lay down staring p into the sky wondering 'I wonder what will happen when I tell everyone back in Konoha I'm not gonna try and get Sauske back' and with that thought he fell asleep smirking.
Naruto slowly awoke due to the sound of a bell jingling he eventually got up to see where the sound, while looking around he saw that it was already night time he must have slept longer than he wanted to when he looked around he saw on the ground a few metres away from the cat that stayed near the shrine. "What on earth are you doing all the way out here" he asked to the cat while beckoning it over. It began to run towards him and he bent down to pick it up only for it to fade away before it reached him.
"g g ghost?" he stammered at barely above a whisper, as some of you may know Naruto has a rather strange fear of ghosts so he started to panic a bit and looking around quickly. Hearing the jingling bell again he looked to where it was coming from when he looked he what he saw had his jaw hitting the ground.
There sitting holding the bell was and extremely beautiful women the type of girl that had men drooling and quite a lot of women as well. She had long spiked back cyan coloured hair that hung down her back and seemed to defy gravity a beautiful face her ears were a bit strange as they were long sort of like an elf but they were rounded at the ends instead of an elf's pointed end. She also had slightly longer fangs which could just be seen which he thought made her look cute.
She seemed to be about 20 or 21 at his estimate and her body had curves in all the right places. She wore a pink dress that was over a green kimono top. In a way, it resembled something he saw that Tenten girl wore but what really drew Naruto in was her eyes they were golden yellow and slitted like a cats and seemed to glow in the darkness of the night.
The women closed her eyes and said "Ryoko" and tossed the bell she held in her hands to Naruto "huh" was the only thing he could say at that point while in his mind he was thinking 'Ryoko I've heard that from grandpa before but I cant remember what he was talking about'. She laughed lightly and explained "Ryoko that's my name" and she opened her eyes and this time he was certain they were glowing and what's more they were glowing in a way which he had seen before.
That's when it all clicked she was the demon from the cave he now knew he should be more on guard but he found it difficult as when he spotted her he felt a familiar comforting presence and felt he didn't have to be worried. "You are the demon that was trapped in the cave right?" Naruto asked though he already knew the answer and something very different was going through his head 'why is it that all the demons I meet turn out to be beautiful women' was what he was thinking and then a distinctly feminine voice sounded through his head 'aww thank you kit' the voice said and he felt the mental equivalent of a smile.
"umm hmm" she replied while nodding then she got a sad look on her face "It was cold in there and dark … do you know ho long I was trapped in that cave?" she said turning and looking to the side "700 years and I absolutely hated it" she answered her own question still sounding depressed and Naruto's instincts kicked and immediately he tried to cheer her up "well, you don't need to worry about that anymore, you're free now right?" she smiled and nodded to him and spoke again. "And now that I'm free I can get revenge" her face took on a more angry look and balls of energy started forming around her but one thing was amiss and Naruto noticed it, it was the look in her eyes they didn't hold any hate or malice when she said that to him instead they seemed to be holding back mirth and what looked like playfulness.
Seeing that he couldn't help but smile a little she wanted to play with him and knowing the way demons usually play this setting wasn't exactly surprising. He decided not to ruin her fun and played along "well then why are you looking at me its not like I did it, it was my ancestor or something some guy named Yosho". Her simple answer was "I don't care" and then all the balls of energy in the air rushed towards her hand where they condensed and formed an energy sword "I just need to let my anger out on you. Right Now!" she exclaimed as she jumped towards him and swung the sword over head. He dodged and rolled to the side and looked over and saw the very large crater that was formed.
She then proceeded to fire blasts of energy from her hands which destroyed the trees and the ground that they hit, Naruto was forced to dodge very quickly or else probably lose a limb from one of the blasts. After avoiding the blasts and sword swings from Ryoko for a few minutes Naruto decided to fall back a bit and think.
While Naruto was still a little hot headed and would sometimes charge into a fight both Ero-Sennin and his Grandpa had literally beat into him that he needed to think about what he was doing. But no matter how much they tried he still couldn't form or understand plans that were laid out before a fight but what they saw he could do was quite amazing they saw that he seemed to make a plan as he went along improvising every time something new happened to work it into his idea this gave him something that gave him an advantage over any enemy it made him unpredictable.
The first thing he did was go over what she could do 'she has super strength and she has those energy blasts which are about as powerful as mid level jutsu's and she fire them off like nothing and that energy sword which if judging by the tree's she has cut I don't want to be anywhere near' he then bean to move towards her again thinking of something to do 'wait energy sword don't tell me that …". He reached into his back pocket and pulled out the sword hilt he found in the cave the one with three red gems in it. He looked it over and pushed some of his chakra into it as soon as he did a blade of blue light sprung out of the hilt.
Naruto sweat dropped at this and thought 'I had to be in the middle of a fight to even think of trying this' and he could faintly here the sound of giggling in his head. Naruto now had his plan sort of well if it works he could gain the upper hand if it fails he could die. 'Pretty much like all of my plans' he thought to himself and smiled it was time for him to play back.
Ryoko was looking around she could still sense that Naruto was around here somewhere but couldn't find him she was very close to the edge of the park by now and could see some of the older buildings all of which were abandoned now. Then she saw a blur of blonde at the corner of her sight she turned to see Naruto running at her as fast as he could but she just simply swung her sword with the extra reach Naruto was easily cut, but then "Naruto" burst into smoke clouding her vision and she heard a low humming coming from through the smoke she immediately held her energy sword in a defensive way to block the strike she knew was coming.
When the smoke cleared she saw a blue energy sword a lot like her own and she stared at it wide eyed Naruto smirked "seems like were equal right now" then Ryoko just smiled and he knew that he was screwed. She suddenly faded from sight and he stumbled forward due to the lack of resistance. He turned around just in time to see a kick hit him straight in the chest which sent him flying through the air and a couple of the walls of the abandoned buildings.
"Ugh note to self never fucking do that again" Naruto said slowly pulling himself up off of the ground and spitting out some blood he looked around and saw the three walls he had been kicked through and said "Seems she likes to play ruff and thank god for my advanced healing" as he could already feel the pain ebb away.
A smell caught in his nose and he was wondering what it was "smells like gas … WAIT GAS!" he shouted as he began frantically searching and found a broken gas pipe sticking out of some of the rubble spewing out gas saturating the air with it.
Then a curious voice came from the hole in the wall "gas? What is gas?" said Ryoko looking around she then shrugged thinking it wasn't that important and began to collect energy for her sword again. "No Wait STOP!" cried out Naruto as he ran towards her but he was too late she created her sword which sparked and started the explosion.
Naruto grabbed her and tried his best to shield her as much as he could as he tried to jump as far out as he could but still took a lot of the explosion and was blown outward. He was trying to take most of the impact rolling to a stop a long distance from the building Ryoko still held protectively in his arms shielding her from the last of the debris.
As everything settled down he released his grip which if he was paying attention he would have seen this caused her to pout. He groaned as he felt the pain from the numerous cuts, bruises and burns he got due to shielding Ryoko from the blast. Hearing this Ryoko decided to look him over and gasped when she saw his back where most of the damage was.
There were small pieces of metal and stone of varying shapes and sizes stuck in his back as well as a lot of shallow cuts that were bleeding and a few deep cuts that could be quite damaging but the worst was that almost all of his back was burned quite badly. Ryoko couldn't understand why he would have done that for her why did he protect her and injure himself this badly she only met him and then the meeting turned into a fight but he still protected her.
Walking around to his front again she asked him "W w why did you shield me? I mean you got so badly hurt and you wouldn't have if you hadn't protected me". Naruto smiled as much as he could at that moment which wasn't a lot but he still managed a small one "But if I didn't then you would have gotten hurt" he stated. "But why would you want me to be okay I attacked you" again to this he smiled "I knew you weren't being serious I could see in your eyes that you were only playing and I decided to play along and don't worry about me being hurt that will be taken care of in a few minutes" he said feeling the familiar warm feeling of kyuubi's chakra healing the wounds on his back.
Seeing she wasn't convinced he told her to watch and see and she did and was amazed to see all of the wounds on his back heal before her eyes and in a few minutes just like he said his back was completely fine all his cuts and burns healed and the pieces of metal and stone pushed out and the puncture wounds fixed.
"See I'm fine" he said getting up and stretching and sighing in contentment when all his bones popped into place. When he turned around to face Ryoko he was quickly pulled closer to her and she said in a soft voice "This is for protecting me" and pulled him into a kiss locking her arms around his neck. By instinct he put his arms at her hips but to stunned to do much else. This was something new to him and the feeling of her lips against his felt blissful to him.
She broke apart and winked at him causing him to blush a bit and she giggled at how cute he looked like that. She started to walk off as she Naruto quickly asked "Hey Ryoko do you have anywhere to stay tonight?" "Yes I have somewhere in mind why?" she replied curious to what he was going to say. "Well I was thinking if you wanted you could stay at my grandpa's house there's plenty of extra rooms there" He said rubbing the back of his head a little nervous. "Hmm maybe I'll take you up on that but for now bye bye" she said and slowly faded into the ground.
After she was gone Naruto slowly raised his hands to his lips where he could still feel some of the warmth and said in a low voice "My first kiss" and smiled as he turned to head home thinking 'I wonder how I'm going to explain this to Grandpa'.
When he got back he told his Grandpa the truth since, well he could never get away with not telling the truth he always seemed to know if what he was saying was the whole truth. He wasn't mad like he expected he actually seemed sort of proud of him but for what he couldn't tell all he said was "Thank you for telling me the truth. But remember you started all this so you will have to deal with it no matter what happens but also remember that there are always people around you to help if you need it". And patted him on the shoulder. "Thanks Grandpa" Naruto said looking up at him smiling a true smile not one of his usual fox like ones but a real one.
Katsuhito just smiled back and started walking off to bed but not before saying "you still have to get the groceries though and because you will likely end up doing something dangerous we must train you harder" Naruto paled at the thought of his Grandpa's harder training the last time it happened Naruto barley came out alive with multiple cuts all over and some broken bones.
Naruto walked into his room closed his door leaned against it and sighed "What a day" then he smiled "But I can't say it wasn't fun". He walked over and sat down on his bed and looked at the sword hilt "this sure is one powerful sword" then he smirked he finally had something he could show off and he knew how to use it efficiently to.
He lay back on his bed and felt there was something large in it 'What could that be … no wait it couldn't be her could it?' he thought slowly he reached for his blanket and pulled it down revealing what he thought. There in his bed was Ryoko she rolled over a bit showing that her dress was open her right breast was visible. Naruto quickly pinched his nose to the nose bleed that was coming. NOW Naruto thought himself a good person and most of all to not be a pervert so if he reacted in a way which he believed to be perverted he took a leaf out of Tsunade's book and blamed Ero-Sennin.
Ryoko woke to the sound of Naruto grumbling something about a dirty old pervert corrupting him. She then thought to herself 'well he doesn't have worry I'll be doing that now' and gave out a perverted giggle in her head thinking about "corrupting" him. She then looked over to him seeing him still mumbling under his breath she decided to make it known she was awake and said in a husky voice "Welcome home Naruto".
