Please keep in mind that the first chapter does not determine a story. Quite frankly there'll me more detailed battle scene. I'll also be doing more research on jutsus and what not.
Woohoo! Yeah, it's my first Naruto story! If you already couldn't tell, Im so EXCITED!
Okay, now that's out of the way, lets get to the serious stuff. First, If you have ANY and I mean ANYthing that you think should be fixed or anything like that tell me. In a review or PM. Just let me know. If there is antyhting you want to add. Tell me. I will try to add as much as I can, but also bear in mind that I've already made plans and stuff so I can't add EVERY suggestion. Oh and there will be a poll up today or tomorrow. Vote for a couple. I'm personaly a fan of NaruHina, but sometimes it just doesn't fit the story line so,*shrugs*.
Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure I don't own Naruto.
Words: 2,222 (Not including the AN) haha 2's
Schedule: Every week or two I'll TRY to update.
Nov. 28th, 2011: I decided to rewrite this because I didn't like the way it looked. I'm going to work on also rewriting the other chapters and then I'll update, but don't worry I've been typing ever since I finished my finals and there's a HUGE chapter in stall for you guys!
Naruto's eyes widened as his opponent took another painfully slow step towards him. His sandals crunching the assortment of leaves and dead grass. He stared at the form of one Uchiha Madara. A gust of wind blew bast them making Madara's Akatsuki cloak dance around.
"You see what happens when you try to meddle in other people's plans, Naruto Uzumaki? Or should I say Namikaze?" Naruto was about to shout back a retort when he finally digested everything that Madara had said.
'What does he mean 'Namikaze'? Is that my father's name?'
Meanwhile, sting down at the base of a tree near the battlefeild was Tsunade and Shizune. Shizune frowned,
"Namikaze? Where have I heard…No! This can't be!" Shizune immediately clapped her hands over her mouth. Eyes widening, as Madara turned to face her, a sick grin etched on his face. The tell tale sine of the Edo Tensei had redused over time, but you could still see the faint lines running over madara's face. Madara gave a short laugh, amusement clear in his eyes.
"No? And I thought you were supposed to be the smart one. You think I wasn't there in the cave when that cursed jinchuuriki gave birth to him?" Madara jerked his head at Naruto. How else could I have removed the Nine-Tailed Fox? I had to wait until child-birth after all." Naruto's eyes widened at the sudden revelation. His mother had also been a jinchuuriki. To the Nine-Tailed Fox, no less. Then his eyes started to water.
'That means there's no chance of my mother ever being alive.'
Of course Naruto had stopped hoping for his parent's to miraculously appear and tell him they had looked for him the whole time. He had given up after the three years he had spent with… Jiraiya. Naruto sighed. Even still a small part of him had never stopped hoping for some sort of miracle. God, how he could be so useless was beyond him. Maybe if he gave up the Kyuubi, Madara would spare Tsunade, Shizune and Gaara. The last of his precious people. Suddenly Naruto felt a low growl echoing from the back of his mind. That could only mean one thing.
"STOP! I won't let you give me up! If I have to choose between joining the other tailed beasts and saying with you… I CHOOSE YOU!"
Naruto's eyes widened at this.
'Y-you choose me?'
"Yes and I'm not going to repeat myself"
Naruto smiled at this.
'At least I have Kyuubi on my side.'
Naruto shook his head. As happy as this made him, he had to focus on his battle with Madara
"So what? Is Namikaze supposed to mean something to me?" Madara laughed.
"Huh? For the one that's supposed to 'stop me', you really are an idiotic ninja. Is this the best of Konoha? Please, don't insult me." Naruto could feel the Kyuubi stirring.
'You ready you old fuzz ball?'
He got sent a mental image of Kyuubi showing his teeth in what he assumed was a grin. Sensing his approval Naruto began to draw on the Kyuubi's chakra, going into his Kyuubi mode. All in all, he looked quite terrifying. Madara only chuckled.
"Please, I've fought the Eight-Tailed Ox and won. You think you would be enough to even cause me a hindrance? You pathetic fool." A growl escaped Naruto's lips.
"I'll kill you Madara." Naruto launched himself at Madara.
Tsunade and Shizune, both being severely injured, could only watch as Naruto at Madara and swung his fist. Madara easily sidestepped Naruto fist and caught it. He then swung his free hand and moved to puch Naruto in his stomach but that was also blacked by Naruto. Growling in annoyance, the two shinobi leaped away from each other.
Meanwhile, tiny grains of sand settled in the air around them and materialized into Gaara, his face as impassive as ever though, if you looked close enough you could see the slight downward tug at the corners of his mouth stating his disapproval. Shizune turned and bowed to him.
"Kazekage-sama."
"Took you long enough." Gaara's eyes flickered over to Tsunade as she said this and settled back to Naruto. Tsunade gritted her teeth in annoyance.
"Well, don't just stand there. Aren't you going to help Naruto?" Gaara ignored her further annoying Tsunade.
"He needs to work off all of his pent up emotion. Who am I to interrupt?"
"You really think that this is the right time?" Gaara didn't respond. Tsunade clenched her hand but winced as she was painfully reminded that her muscles had been torn beyond repair. The battle with the Jubi had taken a lot out of her and had taken the life of Uchiha Itachi who ended sealing it back into the moon.
Naruto gave another roar as he set off towards Madara.
'Dammit! Madara is just like a… umm…. Hey, Kyuubi? What're those bugs that just won't die?'
'Cockroaches?'
'Yep! He is just like a cockroach. He just won't die.'
After what seemed like hours of getting hit then landing the punches, Naruto paused.
'Well, it's obvious that taijutsu won't get me anywhere. Time to change things up.'Naruto then focused chakra to his right hand and started up a Rasengan and shot off towards Madara, but Madara simply used his sharingan to appear behind Naruto and kick him sending him flying.
Gaara, sensing this as his cue, leapt into the battle, having secretly sent sand in to the ground to create more sand from the dirt. Now that he had enough sand Gaara quickly formed the seals for his jutsu.
" Sand Tsunami!" Madara chuckled,
"You and what sand? The sand from your tiny gourd?" Then the sand started rising out of the ground and loomed over everyone and formed a great Sand Tsunami, hence it's name. It crashed unto Madar and he quickly dissapered under the the mounds of sand. Feeling he had Madara trapped under all that sand, Gaara rose his hand and clenched it into a fist,
"Sand Coffin, Sand Burial!" Sand exploded from being compressed. Gaara winced,
'Those jutsus have taken out at least half of my reserves.'
After a moment of stillness, Madara then started rising out of the sand, his left hand crushed.
"You've managed injured me and now you will pay…with your life." He then turned his attention to Naruto,
"Do you want to know who put up a better fight than you guys before I killed him? My Great-Great Grandson Sasuke." Everyone could feel the sudden chakra spike in the air as Naruto growled. Gaara's eyes widened as he saw a tail forming.
"Naruto! Stop! You can't handle anymore chakra."
But Kyuubi seemed to have other plans,
'Yes! Take my power, Free me. Drown in your anger.'Madara, sensing what was happening, used the Sharingan to make a black hole and sucked some of the Kyuubi's chakra in. Fortunately he only managed to suck in a bit. Madara started panting slightly.
"Good job. You managed to make me use a quarter of my chakra." Meanwhile Naruto had fallen to his knees panting trying to draw on more of the Kyuubi's chakra. Tsunade's eyes widened.
"No! Naruto stop! You're straining your chakra coils too much. They'll get destroyed if you try to force more chakra through. Naruto snapped his head towards Tsunade and growled. Madara merely watched in amusement.
"Well I might as well let you render yourself useless and then kill you. Saves me chakra." Naruto closed his eyes and tried to calm down, but the Kyuubi would not give up.
"Come on brat. Think about it, he killed your mother and your father too. Also Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi. Do you really want him to live? Use my power, free me and we'll kill him."
Naruto felt a new batch of anger towards Madara then he paused.
'Wait, you knew my father? I mean, I understand my mother but my father? Why haven't you told me? Who was he?'
Only silence followed.
'Tell me, god dammit!'
'It's not in my place to tell you even though I would love to see your face.'
Naruto growled in annoanmce. Meanwhile Gaara, sensing that Madara's attention was on Naruto, decided to attack him from behind. He erected many spears of sand that moved to surround Madara. No space was left uncovered. Just a sphere of spears. Some even went underground. Madara growled in annoyance.
'These brats just won't give up!'
Then Gaara clapped his hand together.
" Sand Spears of Death." A big explosion was heard, followed by an even bigger shockwave. Gaara's eyes widened slightly.
'My jutsu wasn't that powerful before, what happened?'
Sensing what Gaara was thinking, Naruto grinned in an animalisgtic way.
"I decided to incase them in wind chakra so they could cut him more effectively." Naruto's smile dropped as the sand started to shift around. Like a cyclone. Madara emerged, with scratcheson his body. Tsunade cold only stare in wonder.
'How did he manage to escape with only scratches?'
Madara chuckled.
"That was a really troublesome technique you have there boys. Now I know to take you seriously and stop fooling around." Madara then proceeded to take off his Akatsuki cloak showing his battle armor in its full glory. You could see a leaf hitai-ate with a scratch through it wrapped around his fore arms. Naruto shared a glance with Gaara and knew they were both thinking the same thing
'He was going easy on us?'
Naruto then quickly got mad. He had been toying with them. Didn't even think to take them seriously. Naruto growled,
'I'll show you not to take me seriously.'
Naruto a clone. The clone made a Rasengan in his hand, while he added the wind chakra. He closed his eyes, when he opened them his eyes were like a frogs and there was orange surrounding his eyes. Konohamru had liked to call it eye shadow. Naruto laughed humorlessly. Shizune gaped. She could feel immense power radiating from Naruto. Tsunade on the other hand clenched her undamaged arm.
"Naruto, you idiot! That's way too much chakra. Your coils are shattering." But Naruto paid her no heed. Even Gaara was taken aback. The immense power from the Kyuubi's chakra, Sage Mode's nature chakra, and his own raw chakra was enough to make evn Madara sweat. The Rasen-Shuriken was overflowing with blue, Red and Natural Wind chakra. Madara's eyes widened a bit.
"Ahh. So that is the true power of the fourth's jutsu." Naruto shot forward in a yellow flash, his speed being enhanced by the many chakras running through his system. Madara's eyes really widened now.
'Damn brat. I'm going to have to teleport again but I don't want to waste my chakra. If I use that jutsu one more time, I'll have less than half of my chakra left.'
Wincing slightly, Madara used his Sharingan and teleported to a safe distance but unfortunately, for him, he made his escape too late and ended up with his whole left side cut up in different locations and bleeding. As he reappeared, he collapsed onto the ground. So did Naruto. Gaara took this as his chance and let the sand creep towards Madara, but Madara wasn't done yet. Not uttering a single word or forming a single seal, he brought his fingers up to his mouth, took a deep breath and let out a rush of air, but only fire followed. Gaara saw the oncoming attack too late and couldn't move out of the way or summon his sand fast enough. Naruto, in a last ditch attempt, added chakra to his legs and with a burst of speed pushed Gaara out of the way and took the full effects of the fire jutsu. Tsunade and Shizune could only watch in horror as Naruto dropped to his bruised and bloodied knees. He smiled at Gaara for a brief second and fell face first in to the charred ground. Gaara stood there staring. Then something shocking happened. A single tear fell down Gaara's cheek as he knelt to his friend and held him.
~IN NARUTO'S MINDSCAPE~
Naruto trudged in the sewer-like corridor. The usually dim lights were flickering off for 10 second intervals then back on, a sign that Naruto's life was slowly fading away. He turned a corner and stopped in front of the Kyuubi's cage. The seal was pulsating emanating Red Chakra. Naruto shifted his gaze to the Kyuubi and chuckled.
"So, this is it huh?" Kyuubi snorted.
"Listen, I have no intention of dying just yet. I have a Jutsu. Use it." Naruto scoffed.
"And why should I? What's in it for me?"
"Everything."
"E-everything?"
"Yes everything, now stop making me repeat myself." Naruto sighed.
'What have I got to lose?'
"Fine."
"Okay here are the hand seals…"
~BACK OUTSIDE~
Gaara held Naruto and cried. He cried for his precious person. His brother. His comrade. But most importantly he cried for his friend. This was the third time he'd ever cried. First being Yashamaru's betrayal and Second being when his revived dad told him his mother loved him. Suddenly, a blinding red light engulfed both their bodies. The last thing Gaara remembered before succumbing to the darkness was the feeling of his body being in intense pain. Worse than anything he'd ever felt. Then nothing.
So, review and enjoy your day!
