To Soar like an Eagle Chapter Two.

(This story received so many comments I decided to do another chapter.

I do not own anything! Not Naruto, Not Super Sentai, Not Jyuland, Not a red Air ship, nor do I have the ability to use the powers of animals!

...Wow, I think I am jealous.)

Chapter two start

Jyuland-Six months Later.

For the last six months, Minato spent his time either training with Eagle, studying with Elder Larry, receiving Guardian training with his 'Pack' or having fun with his new friends. Though from what he is learning was very interesting for the former ninja.

The training he received from Eagle was a style of Swordsman ship, though what really impressed Minato was Eagle's skill with a special Eagraiser Sword. When Eagle had given a demonstration, Minato had been gobsmacked at what he saw. Eagle set a meter tall log that was a meter in radius. Eagle had then proceeded to stand thirty metres away before drawing his sword.

What happened next left Minato frozen in shock, Eagle used the special sword to remove the bark, by extending the length of the blade so that it wrapped around the log and pulling the handle back. Eagle attacked the logs with well placed slashes the log turned into a work of art it was carving of an airship in full detail, with crew and clouds.

Since then Eagle has had Minato cut fire wood, first at right up against the wood but after six months Minato has managed to reach the point where he has to learn to cut the wood from fifteen metres, a very slow process.

During his time studying under Elder Larry he learnt many different subjects, from maths and language too medicine and Jyuland mechanics. (Basically using crystals, for making engines for airships or communication crystals.) One such lesson was the time that Minato was taught in Larry's garden, where he grows herbs, fruits and vegetables for medicines and healthy food.

Larry would teach how to make ointments, to even an amazing stew. Though Larry's method of teaching was to burn Minato's arm or leg after teaching him the method to make the medicine. Minato just accepted the method, considering he had to learn by trial and error, mostly errors, painful errors.

Elder Larry had spoken about, how if you are unwilling to use the medicine you have made, how, can you expect to have others use it. Though for every time that happened, Larry would teach him how to cook, or sow really just anything that Larry does to stay calm. After spending some time with the elder, he discovered the reason being in his youth he could bench press a full sized airboat without aid and a temper to match. So now Elder Larry was banned from drinking alcohol or fermented drinks, even though he can hold his liquor very well.

The Guardian training turned out to be the hardest for Naruto. Him and his 'Pack' where made to stay perfectly still in a meditative pose, whenever they move, the handler whacks them with a wooden staff. Tusk and Sparrow would succeed most of the time, with Tusk collapsing whenever someone farts or a foul smell was introduced. It was common for the packs of the year level higher who would train in the open yard in front of Minato's 'Pack' could do whatever they could think of, to distract the younger students. Everything from stinky socks, loud noises or even bringing out girls in revealing clothing, the last one was focused to Leo as he was the sort of Playboy of the 'Pack.'

The reason Minato's group was referred to as 'Pack' is because it is common to have those in the same age group split into 'Packs,' where the abilities of each pack member. For instance Minato's pack has a good combination of tracking abilities as well as a strong defence and offence.

Tusk the elephant Jyuman and is the teams tank and tracker. He is not very fast but he can take and give damage at close range. Leo the Lion Jyuman, fast and has a roar capable attacking at a range. Sela the Shark Jyuwoman, can hear the slightest noise and is the best fighter in the group, only being challenged by Leo and Sparrow. Amu the Tiger Jyuwoman, has an amazing sense of taste and is the logical thinker of the Pack. Sparrow the Bird Jyuman, capable of flight and has the best eyes in the group, and the unofficial leader of the Pack. Then Finally there is Minato Namikaze, the Outsider as Sparrow calls him, the teams 'rookie' and as of a month previous, team medic, much to Leo's disappointment.

Besides the meditative reflection study, they learn life skills like farming, construction, self defence and other necessary skills to make a living, as The Guardian training was just to teach young Jyumans how to live and fight, as was the duty of all Jyumans.

Eagle's home-Current time-Day of Rest. (Sunday)

Minato awakens from his hammock set up in the roof crawl space of eagles home. before he proceeds to get dressed, in the some pre-owned clothes he had traded for, with some vegetables he had grown. As he put on a white button up shirt he clutched his chest in pain, before he opened his shirt and looked at the chakra seal with its birdlike design, So far once in every few months the seal would cause Minato some slight pain. He looked at the seal to see it glow blue lightly before returning to its plain black colour. (The Seal of Destruction from Garo Makai Senki.)

He buttons up the shirt before putting on the red winter coat that Eagle gave him when he first became his student. Minato then equips the wooden working replication of the Eagraiser sword for individual training. Eagle had said that until he can prove he can use the real thing, he was to use the wooden sword. Sparrow had made fun of him for using a glorified child's toy.

Minato then said, "Well, from what I have seen of Eagle's swordsman ship, I would probably hurt allies more often than what I am aiming for." Sparrow just shrugged then left him alone when ever Minato was training.

Today Minato was planning to hang out with his Pack at Leo's air boat construction site, for a nice lunch and general hanging out. Is friendship with his fellow Pack members has been raver interesting. Whenever he was talking about his past, he would only tell half truths without names of people or places. When his Packed talked about themselves, Minato would listen, to their pasts, their problems, their funny stories and their arguments, often acting as a mediator. Sparrow had refused to talk about himself, often saying that an outsider has no right to even know him.

Minato climbs down the tree stairs to reach the main floor of the tree house, past an artistic table with a bowl of fruit.

"Minato!" Eagle speaks from his art room. Minato turns as he reaches the main door before he catches a thrown apple. Minato just smiles and nods before heading off. After Minato leaves, Eagle steps back into his studio to see Larry drinking a cup of tea. "So what did you want to talk about?"

"Has 'Minato' talked about his past?" Larry questioned.

Eagle sighs and says, "Only half truths, nothing concrete about his past."

Larry nods and says, "It's probably for the best, Vanitas has been at us to remove the boy. If what Lady Venus mentioned was true about him having a painful life and if he was the boy I met in that village," he left what he was going to say in the air.

"I understand Larry, and frankly with that seal on his chest," Eagle shakes his head, "I might as well kill him myself." Larry nods in agreement.

Land of Rice Paddies.

Six months, that is how long Sasuke and Jiraiya had spent the last, searching Orochimaru's hideouts. At first they searched the location Sasuke was told of, by Orochimaru's elite unit the 'Sound Four.' At this point they had found nothing but the charred remains of the hidden hideouts, cleared out of all material relating to Orochimaru and his experiments. The only evidence that Orochimaru had been there was a room filled with mangled corpses in the first hideout.

Currently Sasuke and Jiraiya were sitting in a bar, with Jiraiya surrounded by beautiful women, while Sasuke sighs and just goes with it. He was already on Jiraiya's list of people he didn't like, might as well just bare with it.

"Hey cutey, what are you doing drinking alone?" a random woman questioned Sasuke.

Her reply was silence as Sasuke just finished his drink, slung his pack on and left the bar. Jiraiya watched him from the corner of his eyes, while the woman muttered about ungrateful brats.

Outside Sasuke just walked around the quiet little village. Not really trying to hide, just walking along multiple streets. Not noticing the three ninjas, wearing cream coloured clothing with purple rope tied into an upside down bow, and black head band with a music note symbol on a metal plate.

"We found the boy," The sound ninja in the front of the other two spoke, "Go report this to lord Orochimaru." The ninja to his left nods and jumps away while the other two ninja continue their surveillance of the Uchiha heir.

Konoha-Konoichi Apartment Complex-Top floor-Sakura's Apartment.

In the six months since Sasuke left the village, Sakura had been through a major change. She discovered that her parents were a part of the villagers who wished Naruto harm after she saw them burning Naruto's former place of residence, or more specifically when her mother lit a bottle of alcohol with rag her father was holding before it was thrown. The next day she moved out, with the support of Ino, Hinata and the Lady Hokage, who had the two apartment complexes built as affordable living for the leaf ninja, who did not have suitable living arrangements.

The apartment complexes were one part of Tsunade's 'get back at the stupid civilian council, for almost starting a war and banishing the one responsible for achieving and allegiance with said lands' plan. So far the best course had been to spend more of the budget on the leaf Ninja, other such examples were the creation of the ninja tool recycler forge, where ninja can sell their damaged ninja tools and equipment, and purchase replacement ninja tools for their factory price. Another example was also the improvement of the ANBU's budget and the Academy, now to pass the genin exams, the students will need to learn the tree walking exercise and at least one defensive or offensive jutsu. This made it harder to become a genin, but those not from a clan can now learn one or more of four defensive/offensive jutsus. One illusion technique, a concealment technique, the Earth wall Jutsu and a low powered fire jutsu. The rest of the curriculum was improved to the standards that were demanded of a genin. So far it had worked but less students were passing, but the skills they were learning improved the quality of the future genin.

For the civilian council these changes meant less money for 'important' issues like the purchase of whale meat and expensive useless commodities like silk toilet paper. When they had confronted Tsunade on this issue, her response was a simple, "This is a ninja village, not your own personal castle."

Currently Sakura was reading a medical text book while she sat on her bed, wearing pink short shorts and a small singlet to cover her torso. Next to her was a plate of cinnamon cookies, as she studied she nibbled on the cookies. Her apartment is somewhat simple, with a small kitchen, two bedrooms and single bathroom, with a public toilet on each floor of the complex as well as a shared reading area.

The time of day was late afternoon when she hears a knock on her door. Sakura gets up and heads to her front door, and after looking through peep hole she opens the door to see a crying Hinata. The look on Hinata's face was anything but calm, her eyes were red and appeared to be struggling to breath due to rapid intakes of oxygen.

"Hinata, Whats wrong," Sakura questioned as She guided Hinata into her Apartment. In the last six months Sakura developed a good friendship with Hinata, through their training in medical jutsu. Along with Ino, they would get lunch together or on their days off go shopping, and during their training with Tsunade, have really developed their skills to the point where they can smash small boulders and avoid Jonin level attacks.

They reach Sakura's kitchen where Hinata says, "I was just banished from the Hyuga clan," her words shock Sakura.

"Why?" was Sakura's simple question.

Hinata looked ashamed and says, "I did what I believed to be right, and destroyed the caged bird seal talisman, now my sister will be free."

Sakura smiles and says, "That would do it, if you didn't do it, Tsunade would have."

Hinata smiles before frowning and saying, "I couldn't say goodbye to Hanabi, Neji or my father," and begins crying again.

Sakura hugs her friend and says, "Stay here tonight," while she was sadly thinking, 'If Naruto was here he would probably would have beaten up the entire Hyuga Clan.' Hinata nods before Sakura speaks again, "I'll make you a cup of tea."

Leo's Air Boat Construction Site-Jyuland Village Dump.

Minato reaches Leo's 'home' where he suddenly feels a sudden sense of sadness as he looks towards the setting sun. Ever since he woke up in Eagle's home, every now and again he feels a sudden sadness and wishes he could reach out to the origin of the sadness. It makes Minato feel useless and depressed he has not told his Pack about this due to him not ready to tell them the truth of his past. He puts on his best fake smile as he reaches Leo's airboat to find Leo had fallen off of it again, but this time, Tusk, Sela and Amu was aiding the fallen lion while Sparrow just watched in amusement from the crow's nest.

Minato looked closer at Leo and notices his face covered in blue paint, the same colour as the railing around the boat and the crow's nest railing. Once Minato looked at Sparrow he noticed the blue paint brush in his hand and a triumphant smirk, as he looked down. Minato glares at Sparrow before running over and moving the bench covered in sharp objects under Leo in the even he falls, he could fall without serious injury.

As Tusk was pulling Leo up, the slip not around Leo's foot comes undone causing him to land on Minato. "Ow," the two groaned with Minato under the paint covered Leo.

Sela shouts at Sparrow, "Sparrow what why didn't you call out!"

Sparrow shrugged and says without a care in the world, "What are you talking about, I was just painting the railing of this stupid air boat. Only those gifted the power of flight should fly! Not those who want to pick up chicks."

Leo recovers and shouts, "Then Why are you even here!?" Leo then stands on Minato's back, "Leave! Clearly you don't want to be here! Your Ego is high and mighty when dealing with those you believe are worthless!"

Sparrow glares at Leo and says, "Well as leader of this Pack, I say we put it to a vote."

Minato then groans and says, "Before we vote can Leo get off of me. I am not a stepping stool."

Leo looks down and steps off of Minato and helps him up. The group then meets on the deck of the air boat, with Sparrow standing on a crate while the others just position themselves in a loose circle. "All those in favour of naming me Leader of the pack, raise your hand," Sparrow spoke as he raised his hand. He looked at the rest of 'his' Pack and sees no one joining him.

Leo then says, "All against?" all but Minato and Sparrow raised their hands.

Leo looks to Minato and Minato answers the unasked question, "My vote would have been biased against Sparrow." The four Jyumans nod in understanding while Sparrow just glares.

"You are damn right, Outsider." Sparrow states with a glare.

Leo glares at Sparrow and says, "All in favour of making Minato our leader," Leo smirked as Minato tried to tell him to stop, but everyone besides Sparrow and Minato raise their hands in acknowledgment.

Sparrow grits his teeth and shouts, "Goodbye you ungrateful peons, I am going solo!" he then summons his wings and flies towards the village.

"Damn it, Leo why did you do that?!" Minato shouts.

Leo smiles and says, "Sparrow has always been a control freak, I mean just because he can fly, doesn't mean he can speak for all of us," Leo then crosses his arms and says, "I mean most of the fights I have been in have been caused by Sparrow insulting people and then flying off to leave me to fight."

Minato raises an eyebrow in disbelief before Sela says, "It's the truth, Leo and myself caught Sparrow peeping on the womens' section of the hot springs. I shouted and he flew away while Leo was beaten up by the women."

"I still have a grudge against him for that," Leo admitted, "And I was holding putty and the tools to cover said peep hole," while Sela nods her head agreement.

"How did you know of this peep hole?" Minato questioned.

"The older students would brag how they saw a girl 'nude' at the hot springs with vivid details," Leo said with air quotes and annoyed, "Hell I already had a girlfriend and seen her naked, with permission. All thanks to Sparrow, I was dubbed a 'peeping tom.'"

"It's true, once word got out no one believed the truth and his girlfriend broke up with him," Sela spoke, Leo is then seen sitting in a corner.

Minato sighed, shakes his head and says, "I meant why did you make me leader? I am the worst choice you could have made," Minato then jumps off the side of the boat behind him.

After an extended silence until Tusk eventually spoke, "Did we make the right choice?" The four look at each other and all nod.

Village in the land of grass-outskirts-One week later-early morning.

During the last week, Sasuke had simply patrolled the village or went outside the village and practiced the limited jutsus in his arsenal. His eyes' abilities had improved as allowing him to levitate rocks and blast them away from his body at high speeds and this ability requires high levels of focus and control. He learnt of this due to almost sending a pebble through his hand. If anything Sasuke was fortunate that his new eyes where made his reaction speed faster, with his Sharingan eyes, he would have lost his hand. Sasuke had found himself in a relatively repetitive timetable, that Jiraiya had a summon toad follow whenever Sasuke leaves his side. Today though he looked at his pack and took out the strange flashlight he found in his families vault, he stuffs it in his pocket before heading off.

Sasuke reaches his training area, to find something wrong. He narrows his eyes and realised there was a heavy Genjutsu, that he disburses the illusion, to see a boy a couple years older than him wearing a medical uniform. This is Kabuto Medical Ninja and spy for the village Hidden in the Sound. What surprised Sasuke was the man, woman or whatever this person is, with pale white skin, purple marking on their face, long black hair, with golden eyes creating the appearance of a snake.

Sasuke narrows his eyes and says, "What do you want Orochimaru?!" his tone indicating that Orochimaru is the last person he wanted to see.

"Ah, Sasuke I have waited for you," Orochimaru chuckles in his speech, "I have come to pick you up."

Sasuke simply just glared at the two sound ninja as Kabuto speaks, "Sasuke, we were expecting you sooner, but clearly the curse mark has a defect."

Sasuke's eyes narrow behind his glasses before he says, "So the curse mark, has a tracking component," then his eyebrow quirks and he adds, "That is two way. Meaning you could have moved your base and I would unconsciously walk right to you."

Orochimaru chuckled as he watched the fourteen year old. Orochimaru then says, "I see you have gotten smarter since I gave you the power of the Curse Seal," he goes to take a step forward towards Sasuke, only to be launched back by a pulse of gravity.

"I am only going to ask this once," Sasuke started as he removed his glasses to reveal his purple Reningan eyes. "Did you kidnap Naruto?"

Kabuto then glares at Sasuke, before smirking, "Maybe we have, maybe we have not. But you will be coming with us." Kabuto stated before throwing a Senbon needle tipped with purple slime.

Sasuke dodges the needle and reaches for his kunai pouch and realises that he stopped carrying kunai, and groans as more needles fly at him, a decision he made when he fought Naruto. Sasuke dodges to the left when another set of Senbon Needles are thrown at him from the tree line. It takes a moment for him to realise that there is an entire unit of Sound Ninja in the tree line. After sixty seconds of dodging needles it got to the point where he could not dodge anymore so created a dome of gravity pushing away from his body. As soon as he finished the jutsu, a single Senbon Needle lodged itself into his shoulder.

Sasuke felt the effects shortly later, when his body began to feel numb. Orochimaru started laughing as one of the Sound Ninja's came out of the bushes with a small red toad with a blue vest struggling in the ninja's grasp. On its head was a seal tag with the kanji for the word, 'Block.'

Sasuke them fell to his knees as Orochimaru spoke, "Do you like it, it is a toxin that makes you more compliant with re-education."

Sasuke starts to collapse as the strange flashlight falls out of his coat. He then falls further to the ground as his hand touches the flashlight, and the Sound Ninja surround Sasuke. What happens next is Sasuke's eyes flash black instead of purple, glow black before shifting to yellow and silver. 'Sasuke' then stands completely unaffected by the toxin with a slight wobble. He shakes his head and says, "Well this is a first." 'Sasuke' shakes his heads as he looks at his body, his voice sounds laid back and deeper as he rolls 'his' shoulder.

Orochimaru is confused but gestures for his ninja to capture Sasuke. The ninjas charge Sasuke with bladed weapons to stab Sasuke to disable the boy. Sasuke stayed still and yawned as they reached the boy, they break on contact with his skin leaving him with his coat covered in cuts and gashes while his body is unharmed. Sasuke's demeanour appears to change as his face becomes more feral with silver eyes and attacks the five ninja. He jumps onto one of the ninjas and throws him into a group of three ninjas surrounding, and then says, "Well come on then," 'Sasuke' taunts with a gruff voice, "I'll take you all on!" as he suddenly went faster than the eye can follow, and knocked out half the ninjas without issues.

The next thing to happen, was another Sound Ninja went to attack 'Sasuke' with a spear. Instead of dodging the staff caught the shaft, before kicking the ninja in the stomach and shooting him off into a tree like a bullet, literally lodging the ninja into said tree. "Sasuke's' voice changes once again to a cheerful tone with a laugh, "This is a nice spear, but I prefer," he then takes a large bite out of the spear where the blade and then chews before swallowing, "A staff, -Burp- excuse me." He then drops the spear blade before twirling the staff like an expert. The rest of the Sound Ninja go for the attack only for 'Sasuke' to overpower all but Orochimaru, Kabuto and the Sound Ninja holding a toad, that was writing notes on a small notepad. After a single swing of the staff, the staff then shatters, "-Sigh- I can never find a staff that survives more than one swing."

'Sasuke' the stumbled and the relaxed voice spoke again, "So we are all here. I was sure we were just a figment of Misao's imagination."

Before 'Sasukes" discussion could continue, Orochimaru had enough and shouts, "It is pointless resisting, Sasuke! YOU! ARE! MINE!" He then goes to throw another Senbon at Sasuke which bounced off of his head. Orochimaru then charges forward and punches 'Sasuke' back a few steps.

'Sasuke' shakes his head a bit and says, "So this boy's name is Sasuke," he then reveals the flash light and flips it in the air, "I don't know the full story, but I guess it is only fair that I don't listen to you." He then takes the flash light and turns the dial until the image of a rhino's head is shown. "Wild Instinct, Awaken!" he then taps the bottom of the flash light on his knee before shining the light forward. In a second his body is covered in a black suit before a rhino symbol appears, followed by a yellow crocodile giving the suit a yellow right arm, then a silver wolf symbol appears with a silver arm, the three symbols taking a third of his torso each. Then finally, a black and gold helmet covers his head.

Then a combination of the three voices speak, "Monach of the world! JouhtheWorld!"

End of Chapter Two

(I just want to apologise, I suffered a uni based case of writers block. So I have limited the size of the chapter.

Many would question why I had the six member revealed before the actual team and the monsters of the story, but when the events of shippuden begin they will be revealed.

Now to answer some questions.

King of the Sky: That was an Idea I had when I started the story.

Rubius: This is not going to be a harem story.

Gokaimaster100: I know, did not have the information at the time.

New Universe Returns: That sounds like a fun story idea.

Everyone else: thank you for your support and I shall continue with this story.

I will be updating the Autobot Kamen Rider next due to, 'Not wanting to write two Super Sentai stories before changing to another story.' I will then be updating my 'the Dragon Joker' story.

Once Again I appologise for the late update. So until next time BEWARE THE WRAITH!)
