Naruto awoke the next morning with a massive headache and realized he wasn't at home. "Good morning Naruto, glad to see your awake." Guy said, striking his trademarked 'Nice guy' pose.
"Don't do that again, ever. Please." Naruto said, shuddering. Guy sighed slightly as he pulled out a green spandex suit.
"Alright, but you will wear this and come train with my team whenever we meet to train, if not I won't teach you something that will be helpful for you in the event your swords aren't able to be used in a fight, such as an all taijutsu fight." Guy said, Naruto reluctantly nodded and took the jump suit and, going as quickly as possible, changed into it faster than anyone could say "Go."
"This is actually pretty comfortable." Naruto said, then was forced to the ground as Guy tossed weights on him.
"Put these weights on, keep them on whenever you train, and when you can walk regularly again pump chakra into them." Guy said, Naruto nodded and put the weights on and struggled to walk a single step. "Now, I want you to run two laps around this training ground, after that one hundred push ups, two hundred punches, and finally two hundred kicks." Guy added and Naruto began working on his exercises
A few hours later in a market place a girl was being beaten for seemingly no reason at all.
"Quit copying me, wench!" the man beating the girl shouted, the girl tearfully mimicked his words. In the shadows a figure with red eyes watched until the man was about to kill her, he then vanished and appeared in front of the girl and looked at the man directly, their eyes locked and the man was sent into the Sharingan's Tsukuyomi.
"Fool, she clearly wasn't mimicking your words on purpose, she was crying." Itachi said, a sword appearing in his hand "For the next seventy two hours you will be repeatedly stabbed by my sword, and at an hour within the end you will be burnt while being stabbed." he added as he began stabbing, three days passed in the Tsukuyomi, though only a second in actual time, and the man collapsed to his feet. Itachi then picked the girl up and ran to the Hokage's tower, upon his arrival, and explanation of the situation, Minato immediately called for a Hyuuga, and he got the Hyuuga twins Hiashi and Hizashi.
"I want one of you to activate your Byakugan." Minato told the two, they shrugged and Hizashi activated it. The girl said the same words and her eyes took on the appearance of the Byakugan.
"Amazing, so is this is a curse, or a blessing?" Hizashi asked, Itachi activated his Sharingan suddenly, the girl activated the Sharingan as well.
"Both probably, if we can figure a way around the copying words she might become an excellent Shinobi." Itachi said, Minato grinned as he summoned a toad and gave it a note.
"Take this to Tsunade-baachan and tell her to get her sake drinking ass to my office ASAP." Minato said, the toad nodded and vanished, about a minute later Tsunade burst through the door and slugged Minato, sending him flying into the steel reinforced walls of his office.
"Tsunade-sama, this girl needs possible medical attention ASAP." Itachi said, Tsunade nodded before grabbing Hizashi.
"Byakugan, now Hizashi." Tsunade said as she made a few one handed hand signs, Hizashi's Byakugan activated and Tsunade's eyes went Byakugan like.
"Well Tsunade-sama?" Hiashi asked, worry on his face at the fate of the innocent little girl.
"We need Jiraiya and Orochimaru, now." Tsunade said with a look of disbelief in her eyes. Minato, finally recovering from hitting the metal wall, summoned two toads and had them take similar notes to Jiraiya and Orochimaru. About a half hour later a toad and a snake appeared and Jiraiya crawled out of the toad's belly, Orochimaru did the same from the snake.
"Hello Tsunade-chan." Orochimaru said, Jiraiya glared at him as Tsunade blushed.
"We need your, meaning BOTH of you, help removing a curse on this little girl here." Tsunade said, Orochimaru grabbed Hizashi's head lightly, as did Jiraiya, and made the same hand signs as Tsunade had.
"I know this girl's kekkei genkai, they usually repeat the last word someone says, though many have also repeated entire sentences, and can use the jutsu said, even kekkei genkais." Orochimaru said, Jiraiya nodded.
"Can we remove the curse and her kekkei genkai still be usable?" Tsunade asked, Orochimaru nodded and began making hand signs along with Jiraiya.
"Removal of Hera's Curse." Jiraiya and Orochimaru said at the same time, their chakra began visibly crawling down their arms like worms onto the girl's throat and mingling with it, the girl suddenly began convulsing violently, Tsunade immediately held the girl down, an hour and a half later the girl calmed down and Orochimaru and Jiraiya stopped.
"Ok, that should have it." Orochimaru said, wiping the sweat from his brow, the girl suddenly raised up and tackled Orochimaru in a massive hug.
"Thank you Mister Orochimaru." the girl said, her grip actually crushing Orochimaru, he quickly disconnected all his joints and slithered away from the girl's bone crushing hug.
'You would think she was Tsunade's daughter or something.' Orochimaru thought as he set to heal the two broken bones the girl had given him.
"Whats your name precious one?" Minato asked, the girl looked thoughtful for a while.
"I don't have one, most people call me bitch, wench or Echo." the girl said, Minato shrugged and let out a sigh of disbelief.
"I swear, you'd think people would show some courtesy to a young girl. Well, then, do you like being called Echo?" the girl nodded happily "Alright then, Echo, from now on you will be staying with my family, until we find your family." the girl's eyes went wide as she shook her head.
"I won't go back home, never ever!" Echo shouted and Minato sighed before picking her up.
"I'll introduce you to my son when we go home, ok?" Minato said, Echo smiled widely as she hugged Minato.
"Yay, big brother!" Echo said as she fell asleep in Minato's arms.
"Alright you three I'm going to need some help." Minato said, pointing to an enormous amount of paper work that had just arrived out of no where "Who wants to be Hokage till I get back?" Minato asked, Orochimaru was about to raise his hand but instead vanished, as did Jiraiya and Tsunade, Minato sweat dropped and made a shadow clone to take the girl home. "Don't leave until Naruto gets back." he added, his clone nodded and threw a Hiraishin kunai towards a large house on the other side of town and vanished in a yellow blur.
Elsewhere, Guy was floored with shock as Naruto had already caught up with Lee's training in a matter of hours, though learning Taijutsu in itself was much harder, the training exercises were a snap for Naruto and his endless stamina. He knew Naruto had the Kyuubi inside him, as every Shinobi knew the Kyuubi hid inside Naruto, due to the Eight tailed snake becoming a nine tailed snake and becoming equally powerful as Kyuubi, but both had chosen to hide due to unknown reason.
"Naruto-kun, I think it is time for me to take your youthfulness to the next step, by teaching you how to open the Inner gates." Guy said, flashing a bright smile, Naruto did the exact same, but his shine was five times brighter, making Guy jealous. "And afterwords I will brush my teeth until the youthfulness of my teeth matches yours, if not I will triple my training!" he shouted, Naruto sweat dropped as he stretched.
"Alright, now how do I open the gates?" Naruto asked, Guy began instructing him and five hours later, as the sun began stretching over the horizon, Naruto had opened four of the eight gates,
"Amazing Naruto, my team and I have a mission today so here is your training schedule for the next two weeks, just in case we do not get back sooner." Guy said, flashing his bright smile, Naruto just grinned as he pumped more chakra into his weights for the fifth time since he had begun training, making his weight sky rocket even further.
"Thats another two hundred pounds on each limb Guy-sensei, what next?" Naruto asked, his body seemingly perfect, but Guy could tell the Kyuubi was getting tired of keeping up with Naruto.
"Now you go home and rest, take those last two hundred off and sleep a while, wake up go to the academy, show off there and go home and sleep some more, you need it." Guy said, Naruto shrugged and vanished after throwing a Hiraishin kunai towards his house, where his father was, tapping his right foot on the floor, an impassive look on his face.
"Ummm sorry pops, I was training." Naruto said, his father got a curious look.
"For almost two days? After the academy let out yesterday you have been training?" Minato asked, unconvinced, then he realized something, his son was wearing a green spandex jumpsuit. "With Might Guy, right?" Naruto nodded and Minato sighed with heavy disbelief 'Gotta convince him how ridiculous he looks soon.' Minato cleared his throat before continuing "Alright, anyway we have a new addition to our family, this is Echo.' Minato said, Echo came out from the kitchen and tackled Naruto.
"Big Bro!" Echo shouted as she began crushing Naruto's bones.
"First gate- gate of opening, open!" Naruto said, his chakra flared, sending Echo rolling to Minato's chair. "That was a painful hug, Echo right?" he asked, Minato nodded "Be more careful when you hug someone, you might kill them."
"Sorry big bro." Echo said sadly, her eyes tearing up.
"Its alright little sis, just don't do it again.' Naruto said as he gently kissed Echo's forehead, causing her to blush slightly.
"Naruto, why do those weights read seven hundred?" Minato asked, his eyes widening in shock for a moment.
"Cause I've been training with Guy, duh." Naruto said, Minato shook his head and laughed lightly.
The next day at the Ninja academy was boring for Naruto, they simply went over taijutsu and paired two people up to demonstrate taijutsu, Sasuke and himself.
"Hn, I doubt you will ever get Sakura-chan's attention like that dobe." Sasuke said, winking towards said girl, who blushed deeply.
"I don't care." Naruto said as he rushed Sasuke, who began breaking through all of Naruto's punches and kicks with nearly no effort at all, Guy, who had arrived to watch the candidates before leaving on his mission, shouted.
"NARUTO RELEASE THE SEALS!" Guy shouted, Naruto smirked as he made the Ram hand sign, Sasuke quickly went to assault Naruto with a barrage of his own taijutsu again before the blonde could do anything.
"Kai." Naruto said, the weights on his legs went blank and Naruto felt lighter. "First gate, gate of opening, open." Naruto's chakra and speed doubled and he rushed Sasuke vanishing from his spot instantly, leaving the young Uchiha stunned and confused, suddenly, with a nearly demonic grin, the young Namikaze appeared behind Sasuke and tossed him into the air. "Grand assault of the Mighty blond beast!" he shouted as he struck Sasuke in the stomach with the flats of his palms, finally he ended by grabbing Sasuke around his midsection and slamming him into the, thankfully, padded ground.
"Winner, Naruto Nami-." Iruka started, but was interrupted by Sasuke recovering from the assault and flipping the bird to his Chunin teacher.
"He hasn't beat me yet." Sasuke said as he caught his breath and charged Naruto again, who jumped back and blocked the next hit Sasuke delivered, but was shocked as he was sent flying towards the wall. Naruto quickly pumped as much chakra to his weights as possible, but it was in vain as he slammed up against the wall, he saw Sasuke's fist a bright shining color, a sound similar to singing was heard.
Up in the stands with Guy, Sasuke's mom sighed in defeat.
'So much for praying that he wouldn't inherit his real father's kekkei genkai, I wonder if I should have told Fugaku that I cheated on him, no... He's under enough stress as it is, If this becomes a problem I'll cross that bridge when I get there.' Mikoto thought as Sasuke's glowing fist began violently glowing a bright crimson and a sound similar to a warrior's battle cry rocked the arena as Sasuke rushed Naruto, who was more prepared and pumped seven hundred pounds worth of chakra into his weights and slammed them into the ground, creating a crater underneath him to dodge Sasuke's potentially deadly punch. At almost the exact same time, however, both passed out from bodily exhaustion.
"Draw." Iruka stammered, attempting to recompose himself as Naruto and Sasuke got off the ground again.
"Good-pant- work-pant- Naruto." Sasuke panted out each word as if it was killing him.
"Heh-pant- right back at-pant- ya Sasuke." Naruto replied, similarly panting, both limped out of the now partially destroyed arena and sat down. The cadets sighed as Iruka told them to head back to the classroom. Upon returning to the classroom, Naruto and Sasuke, after a little bit of a scuffle with Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno, sat beside each other and promptly fell asleep.
After the Academy let out for the day Sasuke asked Naruto to come over to his house.
"Can't Sasuke, I have to work on my taijutsu training Guy-sensei gave me, but your welcome to train with me if ya want to." Naruto said, Sasuke shrugged and followed Naruto to a deserted training ground.
"So what exactly is Guy-sensei like?" Sasuke asked Naruto, who had pulled out a set of spare weights and handed them to Sasuke.
"Put those on and pump chakra into them until they say 150. Guy-sensei is rigorous and willing to help those who truly want to learn, he said after I could open six of the eight inner gates he would begin teaching me some killer technique he knows, but only uses in dire circumstances." Naruto said, suddenly a flare of red energy shot up from the ground and a mighty looking man stepped forwards.
"Son of the mighty Achilles, I beg for your forgiveness as to be so late." the mighty man said, bowing deeply in respect towards Sasuke, he then turned on Naruto "Wielder of the Underworld River Swords, I come only bearing a gift for the son of Master Achilles." the man pulled out a large book and handed it to Sasuke, who immediately fell to the ground with a thud. "The book may be heavy, but it will allow you to use your kekkai genkai, The Fist of The Gods and Goddesses, I must take my leave now, but if you ever need me I shall return." the man said as he vanished the same way he arrived, a pulse of red energy.
"Well Sasuke, I think you should start learning whatever is in that book." Naruto said as he began doing one handed push ups. Sasuke nodded and opened the book to begin reading
"To the next wielder of the Blessed fist jutsu..." Sasuke read aloud.
Suddenly out of nowhere a Chibi Echo appears holding a signs that says "End of chapter"
"Little sis, what are you doing?" Naruto asks with a raised eyebrow, Chibi Echo giggles cutely.
"I'm here to announce the end of the chapter big bro! Bye bye, thanks for reading! Hope you tune in next time!" Chibi Echo says kindly. Sasuke moves as if to stop her from saying it, but is then smacked with the sign, as you scroll down Sasuke is taken to the hospital by Naruto, who sealed the book up and put it in Sasuke's shuriken pouch.
Next time on The wielder of myths: Sasuke begins learning how to master the Fist of the gods and Goddesses: Apollo's harp. I know Achilles in mythology couldn't do that, but then again no one in Myth could now could they?
Gods it feels good to be writing again! Also, rewatching the series from the start as a refresher. Missed a LOT that I didn't notice the first time around. Anywhoooo, there wasn't really much changing in this chapter, a few changed words, a bit more fleshing it out, I think it reads even smoother than V1 of Chapter 2 did personally.
