Whoa, I got reviews, and that made me type an entire chapter. I wasn't even expecting to get any, so thank you!

Chapter 2
The Iwa Plan
[][][][][][][][]
It had taken Naruto a week to get to Iwa, and Naruto was under the earth, just outside of the village. Kyubi had went
through the plan with Naruto, step-by-step, until Naruto had got it memorized. Naruto waited until he heard ninja on
patrol, and then went after them. The plan was that Naruto was to get them to chase him to a place where he had seen a
group of rogue nin at. Then, once he was sure that they were watching, he would dispatch the rogue nin right in front of
them. Naruto prayed that this worked, and that he wasn't killed. Naruto dug closer to the surface as he got closer to the
patrol ninja, and when they saw a huge lump of dirt zoom passed them on the ground, they went after him. Naruto dug
deeper back into the dirt, and shot himself right beneath the rogue nin camp. He stayed still, until he heard the foot-steps
of the patrol come close enough to the camp, and then he went into action.
Naruto dug right under one of the nin, and in the blink of an eye he vanished with a scream beneath the soil, where
Naruto quickly silenced him by tearing out his throat. One of the rogues used an earth jutsu, splitting the earth in two, but
Naruto had already shot himself in another direction, leaving only the corpse of their friend for them to see. They were
shouting and yelling, and that's when Naruto used his tongues to burst through the earth and grab another rogue. Naruto's
tongues wrapped tightly around her legs and bit down, causing her to scream and fight back. She used a kunai to try and
cut his tongues off, but their flesh was too thick to cause damage, and she was dragged underground before the others
could get to her. Naruto killed her too, before leaving her corpse behind to dodge another earth jutsu. By now the three
remaining rogues were panicking, but they weren't for long as each of Naruto's tongue dragged them beneath the ground,
where they were silenced. Naruto fought the urge to feed, and shot himself out of the earth and nine feet into the air,
before landing in a crouched position.
Naruto moved his head around, pretending to listen for anyone watching, and then jumped five feet into the air before
turning and diving back into the dirt. Naruto tunneled close to the surface so that they could see that he was leaving,
before digging deeper and shooting himself six miles through the dirt. Once he was far enough away, and that the onlookers were not following him, he turned himself towards the sound of a mole digging two miles away, and went after it
with hunger clawing at his belly.
***TimeSkip***
/Eight Days Later\
Naruto was asleep in a burrow he had made, when he was awakened by the sound of many footsteps in different
directions. He could hear tidbits of them describing what he looks like. So, they were finally looking for him? They sure
took their sweet time. Naruto simply waited for one of them to run by, and good luck graced him; one of the nin ran right
over him. Naruto used his tongues to snatch the man's foot and tugged him up to his neck in the dirt. As the man
struggled, Naruto slowly surfaced a few feet away from him. The blindfolded Naruto slowly walked in front of the man,
gaining his attention. The nin let out a flare of chakra that he thought Naruto didn't feel, but he was wrong.
Naruto: What do you want with me?
Iwa Nin: What makes you think we want something from you? I was just passing by.
Naruto: Lier, you people woke me up when you started moving and talking about my description. Then you run right over
my home while I was trying to go back to sleep, and sleep wasn't an option anymore.
Iwa Nin: You- You heard that from all the way over here?
Naruto: Of course I did! I can hear a noise from eight miles away, and feel the slightest vibrations from even farther. I can even hear your friends coming towards this location because of the chakra you flared out. I'll ask you one more time: What do you want with me?!
The ninja panicked; he couldn't let the boy get away, not when he had strict orders to bring him back Tsuchikage would kill him for sure if he ended up botching the mission.
Iwa Nin: Please! The Tsuchikage simply wishes to speak with you! We don't mean any harm!
Naruto: Your kage wishes to see me? What for?
Iwa Nin: I-I don't know! You'd have to ask him yourself!
Naruto: ...You seem awfuly desperate to get me to go with you. Is your life on the line or something?
Iwa Nin: Er, well...
Naruto: Thought so. Fine, I'll go with you, but if this turns out to be a trap I will hunt you down for the rest of your days.
Naruto opened his mouth and brought out his tongues, scaring the ninja in the dirt. Naruto grabbed the man shoulders
with his tongues and hoisted him out of the ground. The man scrambled to his feet while Naruto closed his mouth.
Moment later and the rest of the ninja had arrived and surrounded Naruto. It was a long trip back to Iwa, and Naruto was
taken straight to the Tsuchikage's office. Naruto stood in front of his desk as the man dismissed the ninja after they gave
their report. The Tsuchikage did not speak until they were completely alone.
Tsuchikage: Take it off.
Naruto: Excuse me?
Tsuchikage: The blindfold, take it off.
Naruto grumbled a bit, but took it off anyways. Though, he kept his eyes closed even with it off.
Tsuchikage: Open your eyes.
Naruto reluctantly opened his solid red eyes and saw the blue world again, the Tsuchikage's form a glowing orange and
red.
Tsuchikage: Dojutsu. What do your eyes do?
Naruto: I can't see the world in color like the rest of you. Everything is blue, and the only other thing I can see is the
bright orange and red colors of thermal energy.
Everything was silent for a moment, before the silence was broken.
Tsuchikage: How far away can you see?
Naruto: As of right now? I can see the body heat of a rat from ten miles away. Though I mostly rely on my hearing to find
food.
Tsuchikage: Right, you can hear and feel vibrations miles away.
The Tsuchikage eyed the symbol on Naruto's arm for a moment.
Tsuchikage: That symbol on your left arm, what is it used for?
Naruto: I was born with it. If I swipe some of my blood on it, I'll summon my family's signature familiars.
Tsuchikage: Where is your family? Are their others like you?
Naruto: ...Dead, all of them. We lived hundreds of feet bellow the surface, away from the rest of the world. There was
some kind of earthquakeor something, and it ended up killing most of my family off. Whether or not there are any other
survivors besides myself I don't know.
The Tsuchikage sat in his seat, deep in thought as Naruto stood there, hoping that the aleby him and Kyubi had made
up worked.
Tsuchikage: Your name, tell me your name.
Naruto: Naruto Tampa.
Kyubi: (Tampa?)
Naruto: (Saw it on a cigar box.)
Tsuchikage: I'm going to level with you, so hear me out. I don't plan on letting you leave this village. You have a bloodline
that is nothing but beneficial to Iwa. The report given to me from when you dispatched those nuke nin had said that you
dodged earth jutsu with ease and moved through the dirt as if it was water. Each of the rogue nin were dragged
underground where they were killed by having the front of their necks torn from their bodies. You could hear my ninja,
disabled one of them, and then gathered information needed to know if your life was in danger or not. Also, one of the
ninja mentioned you pulled him out of the dirt with your tongues, what did he mean by that?
Naruto opened his mouth nice and wide and let his tongues slip out for the Tsuchikage to see. The tongues stretched out
about a good four feet, causing the Tsuchikage to lean back a little in disgust. Naruto let his tongues slither around for a
few minutes, before deciding that the man had enough, and closed his mouth.
Naruto: My sence of taste is strong enough to taste the smells in the air. My tongues are also strong enough to drag people
under and are thick enough not to be harmed by most weapons.
Tsuchikage: It stinks.
Naruto: And that is why I am thankful that my sence of smell is almost practically dead.
Tsuchikage: No sence of smell, hearing, taste, and feeling heightened, and infrared eye-sight, thick skin, three tongues, and
the ability to dig at alarming speeds. Is there anything else you can do that you haven't told me?
Naruto's face suddenly turned bright red as he recalled the last thing that he received from his transformation.
Naruto: Well, er, um, there is one more thing, but I don't like to talk about it... In fact, forget I even mentioned it.
Tsuchikage: Oh no you don't. Out with it, or do I have to get the head of T&I in here?
Naruto: W-well, I have highly flammable gasses inside of me, that ignite when they come in contact with the air. A-and the
gasses come out... um, I, don't really have to say, do I?
Tsuchikage: ...You're joking?
Naruto: No, and please don't tell anyone! I don't think I could live if this information got out!
Tsuchikage: I won't breathe a word, as long as you stay in this village.
Naruto: Fine, fine, I was planning on staying anyway. I don't have a home to go to anymore, nor do I have any family to
stay with, so this was the only option for me really.
Tsuchikage: Good. You will now be brought to your home that we prepared for you, and you'll go to the ninja academy
first thing tomorrow. I'll have Diedara take you to get new clothes, as yours are too torn and filthy to be saved. Diedara!
A boy the age of twelve walked into the room. The boy had hair that reached his shoulders and was tied into a pony-tail.
His skin was slightly tan from the sun, his eyes were a bright blue, and he wore a mesh shirt, standard ninja pants, black
ninja sandals, and a brown jacket.
Diedara: Yeah, what do you- Woah, those are some freaky eyes!
Naruto quickly tied his blindfold back on as he suddenly felt very self conscious about himself.
Tsuchikage: Diedara, show some respect! He's to be a new addition to Iwa!
Diedara: Yeah, yeah, sorry for pointing out your eyes, un.
Naruto: Its fine, I just forgot to put the blindfold back on.
Diedara: Well, if its no big deal why do you wear the blindfold in the first place, un?
Tsuchikage: Diedara!
Diedara: What?!
Naruto: Its okay. I wear the blindfold because my eyes usually disturb people.
Diedara: So, you do it because you're a freak and don't want people to know and make fun of you, un.
Tsuchikage: Diedara! Stop insulting him!
Diedara: Alright, fine! Why did you call me in here anyway, un?!
Tsuchikage: To take Naruto and get him some new clothing! After that I want you to take him to address number 42-12 in
the Crater District!
Diedara: Right, okay, un. Come on Naruto! We need to get down to the market now if we plan to be done before dark, un!
Naruto: Right, coming!
Naruto followed Diedara out of the door and into the hall, where he started talking to him.
Naruto: Um, Diedara?
Diedara: What, un?
Naruto: Could you not tell anyone about my eyes? I just want people to think I'm blind for now. You know, so I can get
comfortable with the village before I have people whispering about me.
Diedara: Sure, un, but people are already whispering about how you took out all those rouge nin by yourself. Plus they'll
start whispering about whatever those chunin spill out when they get drunk or whatever, un.
Naruto: I know, I know. I just don't wanna give 'em too much to talk about at one time.
Diedara: Yeah, yeah, un. I get it.
Diedara took Naruto through the town, until they arrived at the market.
Diedara: So, got anything in mind, un?
Naruto: Well, I can't see, so I'm gonna depend on you not to make me not look like a complete idiot, but also I'll need
thick and sturdy cloth with earthy tones. I travel through the dirt, so normal cloth gets ripped and dirtied easily, as you
can see.
Naruto made a gesture to the clothes he was currently wearing, to prove a point to Diedara.
Diedara: Earthy tones, sturdy, not stupid looking. Got it, un. Hey, why do you keep scratching at your head?
Naruto was scratching furiously at his head, and picked something out of his hair that made Diedara's eyes widen.
Naruto: I keep having these annoying scabs form on my skin and they itch like crazy!
Diedara: Naruto, that's not a scab, un.
Naruto: Huh? Then what is it?
Diedara: Naruto, that's a piece of gold, un.
Naruto: Gold? You serious? This stuff itches!
Diedara: Dude, how much of this stuff have you picked out of your head, un?
Naruto: I don't know, I've been picking it out for about a week.
Diedara: So wait, un. You mean to tell me that gold forms on your head, and you've just been flicking it away, un?
Naruto: Um, yeah, I guess so.
Diedara: ... I'm so telling Tsuchikage after we're done, un.
They both went through the market, Diedara picking out clothes and getting them for Naruto, and Naruto carrying them.
After about two hours, Diedara was leading Naruto to his new home. It was a nice house that had two floors.
Diedara: Well, this is where you and I part ways, un. I'm gonna go talk to the Tsuchikage.
Diedara left and Naruto went inside his new home. Naruto, upon finding the couch in the living room, dumped all the
stuff onto it. Naruto took off his blindfold, so that he could see around his new home (even if he saw everything in blue).
He rummaged through the pile on the couch, before pulling out a pair of pajamas, and headed off in search of the
bathroom. Naruto eventually found it, and set his clothes on the counter while he let the water for the shower warm up.
Naruto took off the clothes he was wearing, and threw them in the garbage.
*********************** *One blissful shower later* ***********************
Naruto walked out off the bathroom, steam flowing out behind him as he towel dried his hair. Naruto went around the
house, making a mental map and putting up his clothes. Naruto afterwards went to lie down in his bed, greatful for the
soft sheets instead of the dirt and gravel he had been sleeping on. The next morning, Naruto was awakened by the sound
of some one knocking on his door. Naruto quickly got dressed and went downstairs, making sure his blindfold was
securely in place. He opened the door, Diedara waiting on the other side.
Diedara: Morning! I have to show you to the academy and make sure you go to the right class, un.
Diedara took a moment to take in Naruto's attire. The boy wore a dark green, thick, long-sleeved shirt, brown pants, and
standard, black ninja sandals. The blindfold he wore was black, and made with a sturdy cloth to make sure it didn't rip.
Diedara: Good thing I made sure to pick clothes you could mix and mach, un.
Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly at the statement.
Naruto: I am truly in your debt. Unable to see any colors makes it hard for me to dress myself in a way that won't get me
laughed at.
Diedara: Yeah, well, the next time you want to flick gold on the ground, give it to me instead and we'll call it even, un.
Naruto dug his nails into his scalp and plucked out a piece of gold the size of a quarter that he handed to Diedara.
Naruto: Ah, much better. Not so itchy now.
Diedara: If it wasn't for the fact that I really want this, I would be completely grossed out right now, un.
They started walking to the academy, talking along the way.
Diedara: So, do you know what element your chakra is, un?
Naruto: Wind, earth, and fire.
Diedara: Wha- You have three chakra natures?! That's almost unheard of!
Naruto: Its not that big a deal, is it? I thought it was pretty neat myself, but that's just me.
Diedara: Neat?! Naruto, the Tsuchikage nearly 'crapped' gold after I told him you pick it outta your head! He'll start
puking rainbows and farting rabbits when he hears you have not just one, not even two, but three chakra natures! The old
man really hit the jackpot with you, un!
Naruto: Diedara, not to sound mean, but are you high? Where did you come up with the rainbow and rabbit crap?
Diedara: I'm an artist, un. Of course I come up with creative stuff, un.
Naruto: ...I don't think that's classified as creative, but okay.
The two had arrived at the school, and Diedara walked through the halls with Naruto close behind him. Diedara knocked
on the door, before telling Naruto to wait there and walking inside. Inside, there were many students sitting in their seats,
and the teacher was sitting behind his desk. The teacher wore a standardd chunin uniform, and had long black hair that
was tied into a high pony-tail that went down to the middle of his back. He had tanned skin, which was a common thing
in this land apparently, and green eyes.
Diedara: Hi, Rinba sensei, un! I brought the new student for ya!
Rinba: Good, thank you. You may leave now, Diedara, and thank you again for bringing him here.
Diedara nodded his head before he went back out into the hall.
Diedara: Kay kid, this is where me and you part ways, un. Your teacher's name is Rinba Kanpori, and he's a nice guy. Just
follow the rules and keep out of trouble, un.
Diedara walked away down the hall as Naruto stepped inside the classroom.
Rinba looked at him with a warm smile on his face, though he did not see it.
Rinba: Good-morning! Would you please tell the class your name, as well as a little bit about yourself?
Naruto: Yes, sensei. My name is Naruto Tampa, and I just came to this village yesterday. I like warm places, and digging in
the dirt. My favorite foods are anything with meat.
Rinba: Very good. Lets see, ah! Megumi, Tenpo, could you please help Naruto find his seat?
Naruto: Just thrum your fingers on your desks, the vibrations and sounds will allow me to find you two without a
problem.
Rinba: Oh? Well isn't that something. You'll be taking the seat between them. Please do as he asked.
A girl with short, light blue hair, blue eyes, and pale skin (how unnatural for this area) began to thrum her fingers. She
wore a light blue, thin long-sleeved shirt, ninja sandals and blue, spandex shorts that went to her knees. One seat over, a
boy with wild, untamed, spiky red hair, brown eyes and tan skin also began to thrum his fingers. He wore a sleeve-less,
red shirt, dark brown pants and ninja sandals that had red paint splattered on them. Naruto, listening to the sounds and
and feeling the vibrations, walked up the few steps and to his assigned seat with as much ease as if he could see. Once
seated, the boy gave a big, toothy grin.
Tenpo: Yello! The name's Tenpo! And the wallflower flanking your other side is Megumi, but you probably already knew
that.
Rinba: Tenpo, hush! Only been in here for twelve seconds and already you're trying to get the new student in trouble.
Tenpo: Heh, sorry sensei!
Naruto smiled, these people were much nicer than his old classmates. Naruto listened intently, making a mental note to
get to know the two seated next to him better. Life, for the first time in Naruto's life, was looking up.
Well, hopefully I'll have another chapter soon.
