Ryuu: Yes I am alive and kicking. This story popped in my head while at work and I finally got it out(Thank god ofr Public Libraries). I am sorry for those who are reading my other stories but I have the chapters worked on on my Laptop. I just need to get it fixed to get them. give me a few months.
Chapter One
A cloaked figure sat in a tree reading a blue book with a red binding, chuckling to himself. The cloaked figure pulled his hood down to reveal sun kissed blond hair that seemed to never stay down, bright blue eyes, and most noticeably the whisker marks on his cheek. This was Naruto Uzimaki. He tossed the book away, it landing on one entry.
The entry read,
Naruto Uzimaki
Age: 13
Sex: Male
Rank: Nuke Nin
Bounty rank: A
Bounty: 75,000 ryo
Ability: Sword skills and magnetic/ lightning chakra.
Info: Rumored to have the Nine tailed Fox sealed in him, he is wanted by Konoha alive for trial for several murders including their Third Hokage. (AN: He didn't kill him, Orochimaru still did, Danzo is covering it up.) If you see him approach with caution for he is with S ranked Ninja Amaryou Ryoujin. Both are skilled with close combat.
A shadowy figure landed before Naruto and straightened," Is that the newest copy of the Bingo Book?"
"Yes Ryou. And Kiri raised your bounty to seven million now. Seems when you decimated the new swordsman and picked off six of the original seven, it irritated him more."
"Does it mention that I have all the swords except one?"
"Yeah, but it doesn't mention you have the sacred blades of the Mizukage title."
The shadowy figure chuckled," It would cause trouble if that was found out."
"Yeah, but my clone dispersed. He saw that some Konoha Nin are coming this way. Sadly I know them."
"Go, I will take them out….wait, they aren't ANBU?"
"No we are not," A voiced sounded behind the two. The man named Ryou and Naruto turned to the voice to find four figures in the trees. Three seemed to have coats on, purple, white, and grey. The fourth person had what looked like wrappings as a dress. Naruto sighed and looked to the four," Kurenai Yuuhi, kiba Inuzuka, Hinata, Hyuuga, and Shino Aburame, why has the Fifth sent you?"
"We volunteered Naruto. We have much to talk about with you."
Ryou shifted his hand to his shoulder under his cloak but was stopped by Naruto," Amaryou Sensei, I wish to hear them out."
Ryou sighed and knew it was serious since Naruto referred to him formally. Naruto looked to the team," What is it you four need?"
Kurenai glanced to Amaryou then to Naruto," Alone please Naruto."
Naruto shook his head," Ryou stays Kurenai. He has a right to hear this since he trained me."
Kurenai sighed and took notice of the bingo book on the ground," I take it you read your profile. That makes things easier then. Lord Danzo is the new Hokage. He wants you as a weapon to destroy the underground resistance. But we as the Resistance need you to retrieve Sasuke Uchiha from Orochimaru."
Naruto blinked then a look of realization hit him," That is why I have been removed from kill. So I can be his personal tool. And I can assume that the Council has lost power?"
Kurenai nodded her head," That was his first act. Second was to send Sasuke Uchiha to Orochimaru."
Amaryou looked to the side," Naruto, I know this is your decision, but I feel that we must join them."
Naruto looked," I take it that it will lead you to another sword art… or is it your past?"
Amaryou gave him a look, his eyes flashing a golden color under the cowl of his cloak. Naruto getting the hint nodded, "Kurenai. We accept. And before I forget, this is Amaryou Ryoujin. My Teacher in the Sword Arts."
Hinata broke tradition of being shy and quiet by leaping off the branch she was on, byakugan blazing and palm aglow. Her target was Amaryou, who ducked out from under the cloak as she struck it. His hands were swift as they latched onto her wrists and crossed her arms across her chest. All gasped as the now revealed Amaryou stood behind Hinata in what seemed a hug from behind but was a simple pinning of her wrists.
"Lady Hyuuga, I know the reason for your attack but please don't try it again. I can't harm you," spoke Amaryou in a calm voice. Hinata looked at the brown haired male holding her trapped with a blush. He released her and stepped away, flicking a bug off his shoulder. Hinata looked to him, now getting a better view once turned around.
Amaryou stood what seemed five foot five and had brown hair pulled into a pony tail. His eyes were hazel and his skin tanned. He wore a black sleeveless turtle neck shirt and black pants with white wrappings on his calves and wrists. He had a leather harness around his shoulders and torso with four hilts being seen. A kunai pouch and holster were located in the average place for all shinobi, but on both sides. On his feet were black ninja sandals. To Hinata, he was attractive.
Kurenai studied the brown haired male as well, only for comparison to the bingo book, He looks only fifteen and moves like he was trained at birth in Taijutsu. But what puzzles me is that he defeated six of the original seven swordsmen and the new seven. But how?
While she thought this, Amaryou, a blushing Hinata, and Naruto appeared next to her. She looked over them once and nodded," That was easy. Now let's go back to Konoha."
All nodded, Amaryou a little unwilling since he wasn't used to having others give commands since he was five, and took off south. They had two days till they would reach the Village and it was already midday. They wished to move quickly so they didn't waste time.
AN: A little info on Amaryou Ryoujin for you. He is 15 and is from an unknown village (unless you play The Ninja RPG) called Current. He does have all the swords from the Seven Swordsman Neo and only needs Kisame's to complete the Original set. More of his abilities will be explained next chapter along with why Hinata attacked him.
Also for the Mist swordsman's swords, they all have some special ability. Shark Skin (English translation of Kisame's sword) grants Kisame high chakra reserves. Zabuza's Head Hunter grants him an enhanced Hidden Mist Jutsu.
And before I forget, the Title will be explained in the next chapter as well.
