A/N: Yo! I can't believe people love my crossover. Thank you. I though nobody would like this. Whew! That takes a load off my back though I generally think up more fic everyday. A lot I can write about Naruto. Now this is the second chapter to "Awaken the fighter." I haven't forget about the fics "The Dark Renegade", "Shadows fall, Light shatters", and "Inari's new life". It's just a little hard getting on my feet for the making of the next chapter of "The Dark Renegade" and I gave you the christmas present of "Inari's new life".
Oh yeah here's the polls.
Hinata- 1
Tsunade- 1
Sakura- 1
Tenten- 1
Temari- 1
Harem- 1
I like to thank my newest beta writer for various, Shikamaru the nerd. Him, Hoyt and the Eighth-sin has been helping me so I have to give my thanks to them. Team S.I.N. forever son!
So... here's "Awaken the fighter: Chapter 2: Ichibi no Shukaku Verus Go-ruden Tenshi: Part 1". Ja ne!
Wait... um... Well... Naruto... well let me explain him. Naruto's attire looks like Ryu but the black verison again. He has a black headband, has black bracers on his feet like Ryu, red gloves and a red spiral on the back. The reason he has long hair because really he did something that you will find out in this chapter and his attitude changed.
A lot.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ryu presents:
Chapter 2: Ichibi no
Shukaku Verus Go-ruden Tenshi (Part 1)
---------------------------------------------------------------It seemed like a flash and the match was over.
Bam! Bang! Crash!
The Uzumaki boy won and defeated the noble Hyuuga. Many were brought in a state of confusion. Just last month, the boy was playing pranks and bugging the crap out of them, now he was winning and... they clapped, they clapped.
Well, of course they were suppose to clap. It was a hell of a match! The boy showed no fear, never stopped and never quit but still why. All that were present there, staring in the face of a main event like that watched as Uzumaki-teme practically kick the shit out of a prodigy and stood in their chairs, their steel or titanium chairs and clapped a hurricane for the boy and the match.
Many didn't understand though. Their minds still knew of the boy. Well most, hated the boy, that much was obvious but why did they still clap? Maybe people could expect silence or jeering or jeering while one people or two or five clapped for the demon brat but no, all stood up and clapped for him, no jeering, no silence, nothing other then clapping and applauding for the boy. Maybe... maybe their hearts told them to.
Whatever it was, the anticapation in the crowd was gone, just complete silence and waiting for the next match but while people were quiet, the patters of feet were still going onNaruto walked back in silence to the stands. He was greeted by a shout.
"Hey Naruto! Over here buddy!"
Naruto turned to see Kiba the dog-lover talking to him. He smiled slightly.
"Hey Kiba."
"Naruto, man. How did you learn that powerful move? Me and Hinata was stunned. Right Hinata?"
"R-Right. Naruto-k-kun was amazing." She beamed at him with her cute blushing.
Naruto slightly blushed and scratch his neck in embarrassment.
"Ah... thanks. I think."
"Naruto there you are."
Naruto turned to see Shikamaru, Choji, Ino and Sakura.
"Naruto, you gotten strong." Shikamaru said. The other three nodded.
"Well I have to. Kakashi wasn't going teach me so I have to learn something." Naruto said. Sakura noticed something and got quickly mad.
"Naruto why don't you call Kakashi-sensei "sensei" anymore? Show some respect!" Sakura screamed and tried hit Naruto upside his head.
Well the keyword was "tried" because as soon as she did that Naruto grabbed her wrist forceful. Naturally, because she had dainty arms, it hurt.
'Whoa! ' Everbody thought. Sakura really was scared now.
"Sakura. Don't you dare touch me! I don't call Kakashi "sensei" no more because he didn't even try to teach or train me. He dumped me on that weak Ebisu just to train Sasuke and I had to find a strong person to train me. Because of that, he does not deserve the title "sensei" anymore. I got my wish granted when I got stronger by getting trained by a sannin. If you don't like, just kiss off!"
Naruto pulled always and started walking away. Everybody stared at him while Sakura stared at her hand.
'H-He grabbed my arm so fast and his grip was very strong. Like he was trying to hurt me. I think I miss the old Naruto now.'---
After that happened, Naruto decided to not sit around Sakura. It's not like he didn't like her but you can't just grab her hand then expect it to be over like that.
At first, he let his angry get the best of him. Just that frustration and the rage he felt about the village practically beating him down, he had to unleash it on somebody. First Neji and then Sakura. Even after learning the Hadou principle, Naruto still had a long time of learning the principle of calmness and virtue.
He sighed and took a rubberband out and tied it up. This hair had been a burden for some time now but Naruto didn't want to cut, saying it looked cool. Naruto let it loose because he didn't like his hair tied up sometimes. Thought Naruto was still immature at time, he was more focused and calm in battles. When he fights, he let all his emotions disappear and become filled with indifference. Naruto's power wasn't the only one to grow up over the vacation.
His body seemed to shifted with power. He had lean and big muscles with his usual tanned skin but more of a health color than before. Not that he didn't have a normal color before, but his skin didn't go pale or red as it stayed the color now. Probably had to do with the 'Kyuubi Absorption thing'.
Naruto looked back to the memory of Ryu telling him about the Kyuubi.
Flashback "Naruto.
You know of the Kyuubi right?" Naruto nodded to Ryu.
"Hai, Ryu-sensei." "The biju lord himself
resides inside you, Naruto. This might serve a bad factor. Probably.
As you know, the
Naruto gulped, fearing
what will he say. "W... What?" Ryu took two seconds,
getting ready to say it. "Absorbing the Kyuubi and its chakra."
"But would
that make mine more demonic?" Naruto asked. He feared that his
chakra would become evil and give the villagers and everybody else a
reason to hate him more. Ryu, almost mindreading Naruto's anxiety,
started to persuade Naruto while reassuring him.
"Do not fret. Your
chakra will stay the same except a few things. Your chakra may turn
purple, given that Kyuubi's chakra was red and yours is blue and
technically combine them and its purple but that's besides the point.
You're still Naruto no matter what happens. The absorption would only
allow a few things to you. One, just like Kyuubi, you could turn your
chakra into a solid or liquid so you will have some skills learning
ice and water attacks. Your chakra reserves will reach the roof and
you will be able to channel even more chakra but that comes with a
price. Because of the high chakra reserves, you will start out with
terrible chakra control. If you do not control your chakra right,
when you use attack, you will not know how much chakra to pour into
the attack. Which will result to be exhausted after using one single
justu. So you have to learn it and learn it is essential of becoming
a ninja, understand?"
Naruto nodded but
wonder something of Ryu. "Oi, Ryu-sensei. How do know so much
about shinobi but yourself isn't one?"
Ryu just chuckled.
"Reading. Having lots of time in my life and my "factor",
gives me time plus watching is kind of my thing." Naruto
smiled at the joke of Ryu and nodded about the certain "factor"
Ryu was talking about. Ryu looked at him, wanting to know the answer.
Naruto sighed and thought for a few seconds. Then after the seconds
came to an end, he gave Ryu an answer. "How do I start
the aborption thingy?" Ryu nodded silently. "Right.
First you must talk to Kyuubi, face to face. Then I will do the
technique. Go now and speak with him." Naruto sat down on
the grass field they were in and crossed his legs in yoga-like
position and then closed his eye lids to cross over to his
unconsciousness side. ------ Naruto's mind...
Black pitch place.
Endless seas of oblivion. That's how much you could describe it. In
Naruto's mind, it was a strange thing to say about it. It was
a sewer with pipes as such going into obllivion and pitch black
spaces. Naruto could hardly see so, he did what his instincts told
him. He followed the pipes. As soon as he did, he found out of
instead they led him to oblivion, he was in a big room where a prison
cell dwelled at. And where the prison cell was at, Kyuubi
was.
'Kyuubi's cell.'
Narutoi thought. "Ah... so my container is here. I see
that here for the deal huh?" "What? How did you know
of it?" "Lets just say that the walls have ears."
"Yeah. So do
you, but who saying anything." Naruto muttered. Kyuubi went on,
ignoring want Naruto said. "Kit. Twelve years I have been
cooped up in this prison and to bluntly say it, I rather hate it down
here. I mean I'm stuck inside your navel. The seal bounds me of doing
anything at all, not as something of say a simple hello to the Konoha
village in person."
Naruto rolled his
eyes. "Please. Then you would destroyed the village along with
all its inhabitants including me."
Kyuubi, as giving a innocent looked, innocently denied that. "Why must think of me like that, kit?"
"Whatever. So
do you agree." "Yes but..." "But
what?"
"You know it's
been twelve long years since I seen daylight and-"
"No. You're not
coming out the seal or my body and that's finally."
"Listen. When
you absorb my powers and my blessed skills, you will have the power
do beat me as I will be become weaker then you and technically, you
will become the new biju lord. Your power will be suppassing that of
any demon created. I will just become weaker then you and grow my own
chakra set. So you see, my power and yours will become a force to be
messed with. You would probably become the Juubi
of all of them." "The thought of becoming a demon is
quite scary." Kyuubi shrugged the best a fox could.
"Whatever."
The Kyuubi growled.
"Watch it, kit." "Okay, it's a deal." The
Kyuubi nodded. "Fine. Now... LEAVE MY DOMAIN, KIT!!" Naruto
found himself being throw out the unconsciousness side
again.
"Yeah. It
would be kind cool though. And I know you will love, finally become
something with inplausable thumbs."
The thing about it was, just like he had a lot of chakra because of Kyuubi's influence, he had a lot of spiritual energy, also known as "Ki" but the Hadou power was based on the power of fusing both energies, physically and mentally (or spiritually), chakra and ki, that would unlock the Hadou power. With the Hadou, he was a better person.
But the thing about it was he was not a ninja, a fighter maybe but not a ninja. A ninja only had the physically down. No matter how much they said they could focus on mental power like physically, they could not get the mental power all the way down. Monks were people who study religions that were very old like Buddhism or Shinotism but they only were able to unlock the mental power instead of the physical power.
That's why there are people called "fighters". Meaning non-ninjas that were still skilled fighters, samurai, etcetra, the "fighters" studied religions. A resent religion called Bushidoism is the religion that fuses Zen Buddhism and the codes and conducts of Bushido. Bushidoism keep Ryu and Naruto calm but the fighting part taught Naruto how to fight without barely lifting a finger, how to wait for his opponent's next move and how to never show their feeling in a battle. Though how many people were good in this, the would eventually turn into a puppet of apathy if they stay like that. Though it was true it was a conduct only samurai followed, it's meaning meant "Way of the warrior" so it was view as a religion to only warriors.
Within a month, Naruto got the basics done of the fighting style but still was lacking in speed, form and strength. And the Hadou power... it was strange but Naruto got down the Hadouken easily. Okay, it wasn't as strong as Ryu's but still, that did not mean a thing. It was still a strong technique that didn't need a seals so Sasuke or Kakashi couldn't copy the technique.
'Take that, copycats!'...Of course Naruto had a little of old self in there.
----
"The next match is Sasuke Uchiha of the Uchiha clan verus Sabaku no Gaara or Gaara of the desert. This match is for the stop of the semi-finals. Please step forward."
Gaara in the stands, smirked evily. "Mother, you will have Uchiha's blood to feast on today."
Gaara used Suna Shunshin (Sand Body Flicker) to get down to the arena and got excited to fight Sasuke and cause blood. He knew his mother was hungry for some blood.
Meanwhile in the stands, Ryu watched Gaara with his student, Naruto. Ryu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the red haired ninja of the Sand village.
"There's something strange about that boy."
"Who, Gaara?"
"Tell me, how do you know of him?"
"Well, I know he's a bloodlusting ninja. I mean, he tried killin' Lee earlier in the second part of the Chunin Exams Tournament. This guy is crazy."
"Naruto be very wary of that boy. I sense great evil in him. You got that?"
"Yes, Ryu-sensei."
----
(Back to Gemna and Gaara)
"Sasuke Uchiha has less than a minute to come or he automatically foreit the match."
"...Uchiha ..."
"Where is Sasuke-kun?" Sakura questioned.
"I don't know, Sakura but he better get here or he loses." Ino said, worrying just as much as Sakura about the Uchiha.
Almost a minute passed by and Genma started speaking again.
"Okay. Due to his tardiness in this matchup against Gaara of Sunagakure, I, Genma Shiranui, announces that Sasuke Uchiha of the Uchiha clan, fore-"
"So sorry we're late but we kinda got late on the way here."
A gathering of wind and leaves came and inside the mini-whirlpool, was one Kakashi Hatake and his student, Sasuke Uchiha.
"But we're here and Sasuke's ready for his matchup with Gaara, right Sasuke?"
"Hmmph." That was all he said.
----
Naruto in the stand crossed his arms and growled. "Show off."
Ryu looked at both of two new ninjas.
"Is that your other teammate and ninja sensei?"
"Former teammate and sensei." Naruto corrected.
"The famous Sharingan no Kakashi and the prized Uchiha of Konoha's famous clan?"
"The one and only."
"Hmmmm..."
"What is is, master?"
"It's nothing."
The other side of the stands, Sakura and Ino were drooling at the site of Sasuke. Choji looked worried of the two girls.
"Uh... girls?"
"Leave 'em, Choji. They're in their mood."
"Their 'I love Sasuke Uchiha' mood?"
"Yep."
Kiba and Hinata rolled their eyes as well.
----
Genma chewed back on his senbon needle furiously. "Fine. Don't do it again. Today is Gaara verus Sasuke. Ready?"
Sasuke and Gaara wordlessly nodded.
"Ready? Fight!"
Genma stepped to the side as Sasuke came running to attack Gaara but the sand came to protect him and Sasuke's hand started sinking in.
"Wha-"
"Hahahaha!" Gaara laughed evily. "You can not touch me. I am superior to all of you."
"Hmmph. We will see about that."
Sand stared pouring out Gaara's calabash gourd.
"This will be fun, I can tatse your blood now."
Sasuke raised a eyebrow in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Gaara then held his head in pain. "Ahhhh!!"
"Huh?"
"Mother... wait just a little more... your dinner is coming."
"What the fuck?"
His sand drop from his gourd. Sasuke had enough of talking. Sasuke threw three shurikens at him but the sand on the ground came up as a clone of Gaara.
"Fear my Suna Bunshin!"
The clone spit out sand. Sasuke jumped in fear of being hit by it. Then Sasuke came with a flying roundhouse kick to the body of sand. Then punched it in its neck but it smirked, seeing it had no effect. Then Sasuke used an open palm fist to destroy it. Then he ran to punch Gaara. Naturally, the sand came up to protect him. Sasuke smirked and disappeared from view. Gaara looked surprised and Sasuke appeared back in view but behind him. It didn't take long for Gaara to learned that and Gaara looked in a state of shock.
"He's fast."
Then Sasuke cocked his hand back for a punch and landed a blow in Gaara's face. Gaara though he saw an image of Lee Rock punching with Sasuke. The force of the punch threw Gaara near the Chunnin stadium wall.
Sasuke smirked at the boy as he knew he had the upper hand now. Then he taunted him with Lee's stance. Lee and Gai in the crowd looked angered.
"Ooooh... Sasuke Uchiha!!"
"Lee, my precious student do not fret of that Uchiha. I will teach you more of the Goken (Strong Fist) style. Sasuke Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake will regret copying our style."
"Aye, Gai-sensei!"
Sasuke looked at the boy with Lee's stance. "Come."
Gaara did not come up or say anything.
Sasuke repeated himself. "Come."
Gaara did not say a thing again, only glaring at the boy.
"If you won't come here and fight me like a ninja, then I will!"
Sasuke speeded off to Gaara. Gaara tried defend himself with his sand but Sasuke dodged it, got behind and hit him again. This time with a kick to his chest, sending him to the other side of the stadium. The crowd looked in awe.
Gaara looked angered but didn't do a thing. Sasuke assumed Lee's stance again.
"What happened? Why aren't you fight?" Sasuke taunted.
"..." Gaara said nothing again.
"Guess you're going to lose today!"
Sasuke ran toward Gaara but then circled around his opponent with super speed. Gaara looked in all directions, becoming confused but then Sasuke rolled inside Gaara's area, grabbed the white straps on his gourd and kicked him in his gut. After then kicked him straight to the ground.
Sasuke stood in total confindence, smirking devishily at the red-haired demonic boy. Gaara looked angred and started bringing his two hands into a hand-seal.
"Whatever planning... give it up... you can't win!"
Sasuke ran at him but as soon as he was there... he was staring frightenly at Gaara's sand sphere. Gaara covered himself in a orb of sand and like before how the sand protected Gaara, he was staring down at sandy spikes on the sphere.
"This is my ulimate defense. You can not destory me. I will not be destroyed or denied my existence. It is you that will be killed here today! Hahahahaha!!"
Sasuke grunted. "Just like before, I find a way past your defenses!"
Sasuke jumped on top of the sphere and in return, spikes jumped up from his direct position. Sasuke was forced to jump in order to not get possibly serverly injured by the spikes.
Sasuke knew very well that he could not attack the sphere without being impaled by those spikes unless he tried the move Kakashi taught him.
Sasuke started running to the colosseum's left wall. Then he channel chakra into his legs and ran up the walls. Another thing Kakashi taught him.
The crowd's eyes followed the Uchiha with their eyes especially Sakura and Ino.
"What is Sasuke-kun doing?"
"I don't know but I think it's going to be big."
Sasuke let a sigh slip through his lips and started to focus.
"Come on... focus Sasuke! Let's try this jutsu again."
Sasuke remembered exactly the day of the semi-finals at the Chunnin Exams of what Kakashi said to him.
'Remember Sasuke... only
try this jutsu three times and three times only. At your level of
chakra, it is just too much to do more then three of these.'
'Okay
Kakashi. Times to go. Chakra!'He
started channeling chakra to his right hand. Five hand seals and he
was done.
'All right. It's here!'A spark of lightning started. His hands were sparking with the current chakra that now turned into lightning. The crowd watched as the blue florescent light shined throughout the colosseum. The blue light grabbed everybody's attention, even Naruto's.
Naruto narrowed his eyes. "What in the hell is Sasuke-teme doing?"
"I don't know but your former sensei taught him this."
"Just like Hatake. Always favoring Sasuke instead of teach his other students something too. If he wasn't there, they would surely die."
Ryu just nodded and stared back at the Uchiha.
Meanwhile... Sasuke started smirking. "This is the end, Sabaku no Gaara! Here's comes the pain!"
Sasuke's speed rapidly increased and soon he was on the ground, running with the Lightning based attack in his hand. Gai in the stands and Lee walked to Kakashi who was standing 'cooly' in the stands, watching his grand student go to work with Gaara.
"Why did you teach him those moves?"
"What move?"
Gai was already annoyed with Kakashi and his copying student but Kakashi's obvious fake cluelessness was making him more apoplectic that he felt like he was going to explode.
"Don't play dumb with me, Hatake! The jutsu he's using now and then copying and disgracing the Gouken like that. That is young Lee's and my's cherished fighting style. You and your student has no reason whatsoever to go and disrepute our style."
Kakashi looked at Gai with cold eyes. "We are ninjas. We are required to use anything to defeat our opponents, no matter what. To protect everything we love. I don't care whether or not you and Lee-san are discontent with and how your prized style was copied by Sasuke. We need the style to help Sasuke in speed. To work on the attack he is using now on Gaara."
"Well what about your other students' training? Things simply can not revolve around the Uchiha all the time. If you do not pick up their training, they will die when you are not there to help them."
"..." Kakashi stayed silent. Gai and Lee turned to leave.
Sasuke just impaled Gaara and called out his attack.
"Chidori!!!"
Gaara held his shoulder in pain as the sand sphere crumble to lumpy, shapeless sand again. He stared down at his shoulder and screamed at the site of his blood.
"BLOOODD!! MYYYYYY BLOOOOODDDD!!!"
An explosion was heard at the post of Hokages. Naruto turned his head in confusion and shock.
"What the heck is happen, Ryu-sensei?"
"I don't know exactly but it looks like there is a trader. Okay, here's the plan, Naruto."
"Hai?"
"Go after Gaara. No doubt you felt that evil energy in the air." Naruto nodded. Every since the battle, the boy was producing evil energy that put some fear in his sensei.
"Right, sensei but where are you going?"
"I'm going to help out our Hokage of course. No sense of standing here."
"Okay. I'll be back soon, Ryu-sensei."
Naruto jumped into the crowd and chased after Gaara.

Awaken
the fighter's theme song: Awaken by
Disturbed -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the midst of something that I
Want to play with your evil inside
wanting, letting go, of what never could be again
Lost and alone
Imprisoned now inside your mind
With the way you tried
To destroy me again
You were waiting and living for no one
With the way you tried
To completely refuse all your life
Feed on nothing
You'll never live up to me
Awaken you
With a little evil inside
Feed on your nothing
You'll never live up to me
I've stricken you
Feed on your nothing
And you'll never live up to me
There isn't a thing that I can do
Watching the whole thing just wash away
Making me long
Making you strong
Awaken you
With a little evil inside
Feed on your nothing
You'll never live up to me
I've stricken you
Feed on your nothing
And you'll never live up to me
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
