Fixed: Sennin not Sannin. My bad. :)
O.K. well we are about to find out what has happened to Naruto and about his new powers.
Jiraiya stood in front of a grave that had no body. This was the second student that he had lost. What made it worse were the similarities between his student and himself. Sasuke, like Orochimaru, had abandoned the village for his own personal gain. Naruto, like Jiraiya, went to stop him and bring him back. The only difference was that the blond had succeeded, at the cost of his life. In a way Jiraiya was proud of the boy and yet that didn't make him feel any better. He could have learned so much more and done so much. But he gave up his life to save his selfish teammate who, at the moment, didn't give a damn that the boy was dead.
Ibiki walked over to the grave and stood next to the frog sage.
"What are you doing here," asked Jiraiya.
"I was away on a mission and just heard about what happened," he replied. "I wanted to give my last respects to the boy." He chuckled for a moment as he remembered something. "Ya know, I was pushing for the kid to get promoted." Jiraiya turned his head to look at Ibiki. "In the first exam, he did something that no one was ever done before. He dispelled the fear I placed in genins. In a couple on sentences, everyone's fear and doubts vanished before my eyes. Also, in the third exam, he displayed the ability to think on his feet and never gave up. Those are the qualities that I look for in a leader. Sadly, most of the other examiners didn't agree with me. They sad that his information gathering skills were pathetic and that he showed poor judgment when he when in close range to fight that Hyuga. In the end, Tsunade asked Kakashi he thought Naruto was ready. He said no and gave no reason." Jiraiya turned his head back to the grave and gritted his teeth.
"Let me guess, he thought Sasuke was ready," said Jiraiya with venom in his voice.
"He did. In fact, he made a huge fuss when it was decided that Sasuke won't advance." Jiraiya chuckled a bit and then let out a sigh.
"I'd better let him say his goodbyes as well." With that, he bit his thumb and summoned Gamabunta.
"Jiraiya," said the toad, "why have you summoned me?"
"Just thought you might like to say goodbye to Naruto," said Jiraiya. At this the large toad looked shocked for a moment. He took the pipe out of his mouth and set it down.
"When I felt the link the connected us break, I assumed that the kid had simply signed another contract. That is the only other way, other then death, that a person can end a contract with his summon. What a pity. Tell me, how did it happen?"
Jiraiya told the boss toad everything that he knew. At first, Gamabunta wanted to go and ring the Uchiha's neck. Jiraiya stopped him by saying that Naruto would have wasted his death if he did that. Calming down, Gamabunta grabbed a sake bottle from his belt and let a drop fall on the grave. Now, this was a BIG sake bottle so when the drop landed it splashed on the two older men. With that, Gamabunta left.
Back in the Leaf village, Gaara and his siblings were getting ready to leave. They had stayed in the village to help teach at the academy. At the gates was Hinata, waiting for them.
"I-I wanted to say thank you for saying what you said," said Hinata to Gaara. "N-Naruto didn't have that many people around to call friends so I think he appreciated it."
"I meant what I said," replied Gaara. "My world was a dark and lonely place where only I existed. Then, when Naruto told my why he went so such extremes to help someone else I was confused. But, I was even more confused when he said that he understood me. He described how I felt perfectly, and with that light entered my dark world. He saved me from a loneliness that stemmed from the hatred that my father and the rest of the villagers in the Sand had for me."
"I-I know what its like," replied Hinata. Gaara gave her a questioning look and she decided to explain herself. "My f-father has resented me for years. Not just him, but the rest on my clan. So, I-I grew up with cold stares and unfeeling words. It m-might pale in comparison to your life, but I-I think I have an idea."
"I see," replied Gaara. "Perhaps we'll meet again and see if things have gotten better."
"I would like that," she said. The three Sand siblings then left the village for their home. Temari was wondering when she'd meet her lazy genius again. Kankuro was wondering when he could come back to scare the children. Gaara, well, he was thinking of a pale eyed beauty that he'd just meet and was wondering why his heart was pounding so much.
Naruto was just waking up and was surprised that the first thing he saw when he woke up was a girl about his age leaning over him and staring at his face. His eyes became dish plates and his face turned red. This girl was an Uchiha. She had the same dark hair as Sasuke and Itachi. Not to mention that her Sharingan was activated.
"Good, you're awake," she said as she got up and deactivated her Sharingan. Naruto could now get a better look at her. He was right about her age. She looked like she was 13 or 14. Her hair was done in a similar style to Anko's and she was dressed in a red Chinese style outfit that seemed similar to Tenten's except it looked like it was made for house work than fighting. "I'll go and get my parent and some food for you." She gave him a kind smile and left.
Naruto didn't know what to make of the situation. He was in a bed, dressed only in his boxers from what he could tell, and in some strangers home. Also, there was the fact that this person was related to the Uchiha clan. When had any Uchiha been, well, nice? All of the ones he had met seemed to have a stick up their ass and obsessed with power. Also, how could there be anymore Uchiha's since they were mostly dead? Where the hell did she come from? Then, Naruto had a scary thought. Don't tell me I have been unconscious and that's one of Sasuke's kids! This thought ended when two people walked into the room who bared a resemblance to Kisame and Itachi!
"Hello dear," said the woman who looked like Kisame. She had blue skin, small eyes, and gill marks. Unlike Kisame, she wore a teal colored dress and her hair went down to her shoulders. Also, the large breasts seemed to indicate that this person wasn't Kisame.
"Are you feeling alright," asked the Uchiha man. He looked almost exactly like Itachi except for a few things. First was that he was a little pudgy and had a dark tan that comes from working in farm fields. He was wearing a plaid shirt and overalls.
Naruto was in shock. I mean, this was just freaking him out. Naruto quickly got into the fetal position and began to suck his thumb. It took the family about ten minutes to calm him down.
"Sorry," said Naruto as the family sat around him. "I was just a bit confused. You both resembled people that… well lets just say we didn't get along at all."
"I sorry if we scared you," said the shark lady. "My name is Aoi Uchiha. This is my husband Daiki and my daughter Mai. She's the one who found you and brought you back here."
"What happened to you out there," asked Mai suddenly. She then seemed to lean closer to Naruto. "Was your ship attacked by pirates? What's with your ears and that tail? Are you from a different country?" Naruto's ears perked when she mentioned his ears and tail.
"I don't have a tail and my ears are just fine," he said. To prove this he moved his hands up to where his ears should have been only to find nothing. He looked at Mai who was pointing at the top of her head. Realizing what she meant, he slowly moved his hands to his head and felt the new doggie like ears. He then lift his covers and saw that he did indeed have a bright, bushy, yellow tail with a whit tip. "Excuse me one moment," he said as me went into a meditative position.
Naruto was soon staring at where the cage of Kyuubi should have been. However, it wasn't. The cage was open and instead of the fox demon were several hundred scrolls along the walls. In the center of the now fox less room was a large scroll on a platform. Naruto rushed over to it, opened the scroll and began to read. It was a letter (if you can call it that) for him.
"Dear Flesh Heap,
"Great job, we both nearly died that's to your stupidity! You should have killed that bitch, taken his mate, and then had some fun. But no, you had to be a hero and think about his life. Do you have any idea what I had to do to keep you alive? There was massive blood loss, internal damage, lack of oxygen for your puny mind and heart, and those damn fish kept taking bites out of you. Did I mention I also had to use my chakra to keep your body from falling to the bottom of the ocean?
"I was faced with a choice. Either we both die or I give up my life to save yours. Now, let's get something straight. I saved YOU for a couple of reasons. The first one was that I wanted to be free of you and if it meant I had to die then so be it. You're annoying as hell. Then there's the fact that your actions reflect on me. If you die then I look weak and I can't have that. Finally, there's no easy way to say this but…I'm a virgin."
At this Naruto stopped reading and began to laugh his ass off. The great Kyuubi, in his 10000 years or more of existence, had never had sex. Well, this explains why he's always cranky. Naruto pulled himself back together and began to read some more.
"Because of this, I never had any kits of my own. Meaning that I have no one to pass on my legacy. All of my knowledge will be gone forever in my passing. Well, if I did have a kit, I'd want him to be a bit like you. Well maybe smarter, stronger, better fashion sense, and quieter. But, you've got gut and determination that are admirable. The way you have faced your problems has made me proud. Especially when I compare you to some of the other's I could have been sealed in. Gay Sasuke, Lee just sends shivers down my spine, or Sakura who would have wasted my powers chasing that prick.
"Since I am now dead, my chakra is gone forever. But don't think I have left you with nothing. While I was fixing your body I was able to give you powers that should help you. I call it Tail Shift. There are a total of nine tails and each one carries its own power. The first one is your normal self. While you are in this body you have your normal healing powers and can use jutsus. In this room is my knowledge including special jutsus that can be used in by you thanks to your new fox traits. Also, you are automatically signed up to summon foxes instead of toads. The second tail is the fire tail. This tail will give you full control over heat and thermal energy. Also, it will give your punches an extra blast. While you are in this form your tail will turn red and the tip of your tail will be made of fire.
"The third tail is the water tail. Your tail will look like it was made of water and when ever an opponent tries to fight you the attacks go right threw. Only ninjutsu will be able to harm you. Also you can breathe under water. The earth tail will look like it is made of soil and rocks. This will be your tiajutsu mode because your strength is greatly increased to a level near Tsunade's.
"The fifth tail is the lightning tail. Reflex and speed increase along with the ability to dematerialize into energy and travel as a mass of energy, moving at nearly the speed of light. When you are like this your tail will turn platinum. The sixth tail is the wind tail. In this state your tail will turn grey. In this from you can fly but only as fast as the wind can take you. The ice tail looks like it is made of ice. While in this state you can create weapons made of ice out of nothing.
"The wood tail is your eighth form. It grants you the ability to control plants of all kinds and to infuse chakra as a life source to heal living creatures, grow plants, or increase the power others. This one is green. The shadow tail is the last one. Your tail turns black and in this form you can vanish from sight along with others who are close to you.
"One last thing to consider is elemental manipulation. Since you will only be able to use your jutsus in your normal mode, I suggest you practice on your wind manipulation and add it to that Rasengan thingy.
"I hope your puny mind can remember all of that! Now, live long so I don't have to hear your annoying voice for a while.
"Signed, The Great and Powerful Kyuubi no Kitsune."
Naruto was shocked. Kyuubi had given him power and it was amazing. This also meant that the cause of all of his sufferings was gone forever. When he got home, people would have to treat him like a person. Wait, home? Where the hell was he? How long had be been gone? What if they sent hunter-nins after him? Naruto came back to the real world where only a second had passed.
"I have to ask some questions," he said. "Where am I and how long was I out?"
"You have been here for about a week, but I don't know how long you were unconscious," said Daiki. "As to where you are, you are on the continent of the Celestial Dynasties. To be more specific, you are in the Milky Way Dynasty." Naruto's expression became heavy.
"So I guess walking to the Elemental Countries is out of the question," he said with a light laugh.
"Indeed," replied Daiki. "Ships only travel there maybe three times a year and tickets are very expensive."
"I have another question," said Naruto. "How come I have seen your clan back where I come from?"
"That's because we originated from there," said Aoi. "It was about 250 years ago when we left. During that time, the Clan Wars were taking place. These wars were started to eliminate as many of the competition for the ninja's as possible. Many of us were caught in the middle of a war that we didn't want and hated. Also, many of the clans had rules that were too harsh. Our ancestors, along with many others, got together and sailed away. Since then, we have lived freely in this land and have used our skills and knowledge to help others. For example, because of the Sharigans ability to copy others perfectly and prediction abilities allows the user to become a medic much faster. My daughter was the one who took care of you. There are, however, some who have become a problem by leading bandit gangs and such."
"Does that mean there are Hyuga's here as well," asked Naruto.
"Yes," replied Daiki. "My grandfather was a Hyuga in fact. In this village we have Kamizuru's, Hoshigaki's, Uchiha's, Kaguya's, Kurama's and many others that have probably been whipped out. And that's just in this village. We are now spread out all over the continent along with the natives to this land."
"Well," said Aoi, "we'd better let you get some rest and let you eat your meal. Mai, where is the food you were supposed to bring?"
"Crap," muttered Mai. "I'll get it now." With that, the three of them left Naruto alone. Naruto decided to take this time and look at his surroundings. The room looked like it was used for guests seeing as the walls were bare and only had the bed and a dresser in it. A few moments later Mai came in with a tray and set it in front of him. On it was a bowl of rice, three pieces of fish, and some miso soup.
"Thanks," said Naruto as he began to dig into his food.
"Well, are you going to tell me," she asked.
"Tell you what," asked Naruto before he took a bite out of his fish.
"How you got here," she said as she crossed her arms. "You owe me that much seeing as I'm the one who found you. Now spill." Naruto sighed as he realized that she wouldn't let it go.
"I was in a fight," he began. "My teammate decided to betray our village and I was part of the group to bring him back. In the end, I won. However, I was badly hurt and my sensei chose to help my teammate and left me to die. I guess I was washed out to sea and landed here."
"Damn," she said. "I guess you must have some powerful bloodline to survive in that condition." Naruto let out a light chuckle.
"I guess you can all it that," he replied. Then he thought of something. "Hey Mai, how can I make a lot of money really quickly?" She looked confused for a moment.
"Why do you want to know?"
"I need to get back home. There are people who must be worried about me. Well, not a lot but I still have to go back!"
"Well, the fastest way is to join a bandit gang," said Mai as she crossed her arms. "But, that would make you a criminal. Maybe becoming a bounty hunter would be better. The problem with that is you would get that attention of the bandits and they would hunt you down. I guess you could do odd jobs for a while. It may take a while but it is the safest."
"I doubt that your shinobi would like someone like me taking away their jobs anyways," said Naruto. To his surprise, Mai shook her head.
"We don't have any shinobi," she said causing Naruto's eyes to dish plate. "The emperors use their armies to try and enforce the laws, but they are out numbered and can't be everywhere at once."
"Are these bandit gangs really that bad?"
"Ya. The three main gangs are the Tora, the Inoshishi, and the Panda. Each one is controlled by a Sennin who can summon giant beasts that can destroy an entire village. Even without their summons they are very powerful and they are the only ones who have the summoning contracts." She looked up at Naruto who seemed depressed. "I'll come back later. When you are feeling better I'll show you around town." With that, she left Naruto alone once again.
His head was buzzing with this new information. Shinobi skills were being used by bandits and causing problems. This wasn't right! But, then again, was it his problem? He had his own home to go back to and had to do it quickly. Also, one person can't solve all the worlds' problems. He reached for the necklace that Tsunade gave him and held it tightly. He would make it back home. He had to see them all again and make sure they were O.K. Even if most of the people back home hated him, he would go back for the few people who were precious to him. Someday, he would return.
Well, that it for now. So, how was it? I'm working on so translations for some jutsus so if any one is will to help it would be greatly appreciated. Or, if you have any ideas for fox related jutsus let me know.
To clear up any confusion, the Sennin in this continent have shinobi skills but are bandits. There are no shinobi villages and the emperor's armies don't have enough people who know ninjutsu or genjutsu to stop them and are out numbered. Kyuubi is dead but has left a parting gift to Naruto and now can summon foxes.
Please read and review so I know I'm doing a good job.
