I do not own Naruto.
"Normal speech"
'Thinking
"Kiro's speech" (I needed to change it to this because it was getting confusing.)
Jutus or other dragons or Kyuubi
Naruto exhaled a deep breath. His hair stopped glowing and returned to the regular blond it was. His eyes returned to its normal blue. He then walked over to a sound genin that was dresses kind of like a mummy. "Oi, leave your scoll and go. I rather not punch another person today."
The mummy-nin nodded warily and laid his scroll on the ground. He then turned to the female of his team, "Kin, grab Zaku. We're leaving." The girl named Kin nodded, obviously still shaken on what just happened.
As soon as the sound team took off, Team 9 jumped down from the branch they were standing on. Neji looked at Naruto. 'Strange, what was that odd energy? It felt like chakra, but… Who is he? "Sorry to interrupt, but we need to get our teammate over there." Naruto looked at the fallen ninja. "Oh, hey Bushy Brows. Those guys really did a number on ya, didn't they?"
Lee looked up. "Unfortunately, yes. I have suffered a loss. But it was most youthful. I was able to protect Sakura-san and my beliefs. Gai-sensei would be proud! GAI-SENSEI!" He was shut up by his teammates by a quick yet painful bonk on the head.
"Shut up, Lee. You'll alert everyone here with your screaming." said TenTen.
Team 7 and Team 10 watched as both teammates dragged Lee by the arms toward the tower.
Team 7 rested as they heard the crackling of the fire they had made. The three teams had gone their separate ways and Team 7 decided Sakura could use some much needed rest.
Sasuke would have also taken a nap if it wasn't for Naruto. 'What the hell was that power? It beat Orochimaru's curse seal so easily and I actually thought I had a chance of beating Itachi with it. But if that dobe was able to defeat me… No, that wasn't the dobe's power. I'm sure of it. But if that wasn't his, then what the hell was that? Where did he get it? And why him? Sasuke clenched his fist and glared at Naruto. Naruto at the time was staring at the fire with a glazed look in his eyes. Unknown to the avenger, Naruto was having a talk with his said power.
"Hey, Kiro? Can you tell me all the abilities that I have? Having someone talk to me inside my head is very distracting especially when fighting."
"Well, sorry to break it to ya, but I don't really know what abilities you have."
"…huh?"
"Well, every Dragon Lord is different since their bodies and dragons are different. So, no. I have no idea what abilities you have currently. But when you show your abilities, I can tell you what they are."
"Really? That's all you can do? There isn't a common ability that all Dragon Lords share or something?"
"Actually, there might be one. Dragon Lords always had the power to summon dragons using whatever they had at their disposal like spells, incantations, or seals. You're a ninja so you would probably go in the seal category, but I don't know that much about ninja seals, just magic seals."
"So I can't summon any dragons? WHAT? Then how the hell am I a Dragon Lord if I have no dragons to lord over?"
"Well, I can teach you some magic seals, but they require a couple of things."
"Like what?"
"First, a considerable amount of magic. I got that covered. Second, a spell/incantation; unfortunately, you have to come up with that yourself and every summon would have a different spell/incantation. Third, energy; depending on what dragon you want to summon, you need the correct energy to summon it."
"Energy? Isn't magic the energy in the seal?"
"No, you idiot. It's like the components you need to create chakra. You need both mental and physical power. But when separate, you can switch them. You can't run using mental power and you can't imagine with physical power. These two are like the stamina of each part of your body; the both mental and physical. So magic is like that. Magic is the stamina needed to perform spells or incantations or seals. Got it?"
"Then what is the e-energy that you put into s-seals?" Naruto's head was spinning from all the information and had a hard time focusing on his words.
"Wait, stop being confused. Your head is spinning."
"I know that."
"No, I mean it's literally spinning. I'm in your mindscape, remember? And in here, it looks like a FRICKIN' TORNADO! STOP SPINNING!"
Naruto tried his best to stop being confused. In his mindscape, Kiro was thinking, 'If this kid gets this confused regularly, then I could see why the Kyuubi doesn't like him. Wait, gotta puke!
The tornado grew as Naruto became more confused when he heard the bleeeech! sound.
After a full minute, they were back on the original conversation.
"So do you need like lightning or something for the energy?", asked Naruto.
"Electricity is one energy you could use, but you could only summon dragons with a lighting affinity."
"…huh?"
"Wait, before you get confused and we go through another chaotic mind tornado, let me explain. There are 2 kinds of energies. There is nature and physic energy. Nature energy is energy that is released without animal or machine interference. Lightning falls into this category. Others are fire, earth, water, wind, fusion, and fission. I fall into this category of dragons. I am a nature dragon of fission. What we fission dragons can do is we can create obscene amounts of energy which usually comes in the form of light. We can release energy quickly like an explosion. Because you have my chakra in you, you can do this also."
"I can make explosions?"
"You are correct to be overjoyed because you are the only Dragon Lord in history to be able to do this."
"Huh? Why's that?"
"Because you are the only Dragon Lord that can use my chakra. Other used the dragons themselves to fight, but because I'm sealed in you, you can use the power of a dragon."
"YAY! I'm special. I always knew it that I was. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
'Special yes, but I think you're a different kind of special. The kind that needs a doctor, thought Kiro.
Naruto stopped laughing and cheering and said, "Wait, can I use other dragons' chakras to fight?"
Kiro thought for a moment. "It's not impossible. Usually we don't give humans our chakra due to the nasty dying that comes along, but you are now an exception."
"Ha! I am awesome!"
"Don't let the power get to your head. You'll just turn out like the Uchiha."
Naruto thought for a moment, then shuddered. "Okay, I'll stop."
"Okay, back to energies. There is the physic energy. Kinetic and potential energies; these are what make up physic energy. But you can't use these to summon dragons."
"ehhh? Then why am I learning it?"
"You know, sometimes it a really good thing to do to learn stuff that you don't need right away. You might need it later on."
"ehhh? But I don't want to."
"You realize I'm not the Kyuubi. I could kill you and survive it."
"…..I AM READY TO LISTEN, KIRO-SENSEI!"
"Good. Now even though you can't use these to summon, you can use these for other purposes."
"Like what?"
"Well, truthfully, there is only one purpose. To amplify it."
"Amplify? What do you mean?"
"Let's take elastic potential energy for example. Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in springs or basically anything that can stretch, but usually springs. Now when elastic potential energy is stored when you compress the spring. When you let go, the elastic potential energy converts into kinetic energy which is energy of movement. The formula for it is Kinetic energy equals ½ * mass * velocity^2. The mass won't change, so leave that alone. The ½ won't change either. So all that's left is velocity. This can change. So when you amplify the energy, you increase velocity which is basically speed with a direction. You understand? Wait.. stop, STOP!"
A tornado was going on in Naruto's mind. It was the biggest one yet. Naruto had those spinny eyes that showed his extreme confusion.
"WAIT! LET ME EXPLAIN!" The tornado stopped.
"Okay, let me use an example. If you throw a kunai, it has kinetic energy. When you amplify the energy, it would go faster. Get it?"
"Ohhhh, why didn't you say that before?"
Kiro inside Naruto's mind facepalmed himself with one of his wings. 'How stupid is this kid?
"Now when you amplify elastic potential energy, you basically compress it more without compressing it. So when you let go, the energy passes on and turns to kinetic energy. And you could use the kunai idea here."
"Okay. Actually, wait. You keep saying elastic potential energy. Is there others?"
"Yeah, one more actually. It's gravitational potential energy. This also turns into kinetic energy so basically you would make things fall quicker."
"Ow."
"Exactly. Imagine a rock with tons of speed hitting your head."
"So all the Dragon Lords could do this too."
"Actually, no. Again, you are the only one that is able to do this in Dragon Lord history."
"EHHH? Why?"
"Because you have me in you, you can use the fission abilities that I have. You can produce energy and place it somewhere else. This is amplifying energy."
"Wait, I thought you said that you didn't know any of my abilities except summoning. But now this."
"Well, I just didn't bother thinking about it. You'd find out someday or other."
Naruto's eye twitched. Sasuke saw this and said, "Oi, dobe. You talking to yourself or something?"
'Whoops, should have done that in my mind. "That's completely crazy."
Sasuke could've called him crazy, but…
"Hey, where did you get that power?"
Naruto froze. He didn't really think about this before. "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Inside his mind, he heard Kiro talking. "Just tell him the truth. It's not like the Kyuubi so it's okay."
'You sure?
"Yep."
Naruto looked at Sasuke. "From a dragon."
There was this weird atmosphere. Like everything had frozen in its place. Even the fire felt cold. "You're kidding, aren't you?"
Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "I guess it does sound odd, but it's true. I have a dragon sealed in me and I unlocked its power today."
Sasuke was enraged. How could the dead last loser have that kind of power? He was the one that needed it. Not only that, but Naruto beat his curse seal mode easily.
"Where did you get the dragon?"
Naruto thought for a moment. "You know, I have no idea. I never actually asked, but from what he said about furry," Sasuke kind of lost him. 'Asked? He can talk to the dragon. Wait, furry? "Kiro was sealed in me when I was born."
"Kiro?"
"The dragon's name. Now if you excuse me, I had a huge conversation with him and I feel sleepy from thinking so much. I'm going to take a nap." Naruto dozed off immediately.
The next day, Team 7 was tree jumping toward the tower. They had gotten their second scroll earlier that morning when a team from the Hidden Cloud attacked them while sleeping. But they had a very stressful day yesterday; Sakura with protecting Naruto and Sasuke, Sasuke with Naruto getting a power greater than his, Naruto thinking too much. So to say they were not morning people that today would be an understatement. The Hidden Cloud team was currently beaten on every inch of their bodies and buried under lots of timber.
After getting to the tower, they took out the two scrolls and yada yada yada. You know the rest about Iruka and yeah.
Naruto ignored most of what people were saying because he was still trying to sort the information he learned but he perked up when he heard Kiro say, "Listen to your sensei. He's about to say something good."
Iruka said, "This? It basically says improve yourself in places that you lack. Heaven means mind and Earth means body. If you lack strength then you train your body and if you lack intelligence than you train your mind."
In Naruto's mind, Kiro said, "You should really remember this. Out of all the people and dragons I have met, no one has lacked heaven as much as you."
"Heeey."
Iruka smiled at them. "Well, you have the preliminaries coming up like I said, but you have a day to rest."
'Dang it, Kiro. I think you made me miss something important.
They went into the next room. The design of the tower was not that complex. There were the gateways that led into the tower. These gateways led into a small room. Every 4 rooms led into a bigger room. And these led into a system of hallways.(I'll post the design on my profile. It ain't perfect but it gets my point across. So go to my profile and look at it…..now.) Team 7 walked into the top lounge. There they already saw everyone there.
Suddenly Sasuke was attacked. Naruto tensed, ready for anything. But his head hit the floor when he realized there was no danger. At least to himself.
"Sasuke-kun! You made it! Why were you so late? I bet forehead slowed you down. But I'm so happy that you're finally here!"
The blond girl named Ino was pulled off of Sasuke by her rival. "What do you think you're doing to Sasuke-kun?"
Ino waved Sakura off dismissively. "Oh, hey forehead. You're here too?"
"What do you mean I'm here too? Sasuke-kun and I are on the same team!"
"I bet you just got in the way and Sasuke-kun had to save you all the time. Even in the forest, he used the weird power to save you."
Another frozen atmosphere came in. Ino looked around to see why they all had that weird look on their faces.
In the end, they just decided to forget everything that just happened and go eat and go to sleep.
The next day…
Everyone in the arena of the preliminaries had their eyes twitching. Apparently, someone decided to set the alarms really late so when everyone woke up they would be so late, they would have to rush everything. Their hair was a little messy and their stomachs hurt from stuffing themselves with breakfast quickly. Everyone was pissed. Except one person.
Naruto was still laughing in his head. He was so glad that this part of his personality still remained.
'Wow he's smarter than I thought.
"Maybe you should learn some 'heaven' from him."
"Shut it, Kiro."
Outside of Naruto's mind, the referee, Gekko Hayate, announced, "Next match! Inuzuka Kiba vs. Uzumaki Naruto!
Kiba jumped down from the stand. "Well, Akumaru, it seems we got an easy opponent." His white dog barked in agreement.
Naruto had already jumped down and was staring at Kiba. 'Should I use Kiro's chakra right away?
"Hajime!" 'Wait, what? We're already starting?
In Naruto's mind, "Pay attention you frickin' idiot!"
Naruto tried to retort but he was stopped due to the Tsuuga in his face. Naruto landed on his feet and looked up to yell. But he ended up yelling and diving to the left to avoid another Tsuuga.
Kiba had stopped his jutsu and landed. "Heh. We, the Inuzuka clan, pride ourselves in our speed and power. A dead last loser can't possibly beat me." His grin was wiped off his face when he felt a foreign power coming from Naruto.
"I was trying not to use it right away, but you forced my hand. It's true that you are faster, but…"
Naruto exploded with power. His blond hair glowed golden and his eyes shined a gold tint like the sun's rays.
"Don't call me a loser yet!"
Everyone was wide-eyed at this new power Naruto was displaying. Even Gaara. 'Mother is afraid of this power. What is he?
Kiba was stunned for a moment, but he regained his composure. He gave a pill to Akamaru who turned red and made a seal. "Human Beast Mimicry Style: Gatsuuga!" He and his dog drilled toward Naruto who just stood there.
"Afraid of me now, you dead last loser?"
Naruto was hit by both of them, but instead of flying off, he stood not even having moved an inch. 'Dragon skin is so cool! Plus Kakashi-sensei's tree climbing exercise really helped.
Kiba was confused. No one was able to take a Gatsuuga head on and beat it. Then Naruto put his hands on the spinning Kibas and slowed their spinning. Then when they were slow enough grabbed their arms and threw them back across the arena.
Kiba got back to his beast stance. "Looks like you learned something, but that's not enough to beat me. This time I'm going all out."
Kiba threw two tiny balls at Naruto. They exploded and released a dark smoke. Then the duo headed in. "Gatsuuga!"
Naruto was confused. He could see both the Kiba's coming even through the dark smoke. Then he heard Kiro's voice. "New ability: Piercing Eyes! When a fission dragon has to venture through a place with little or no light, they need a way to see. They need these eyes because they are always around extremely bright light all the time, but sometimes they need to go elsewhere. So we developed Piercing Eyes."
Naruto would have celebrated, but now was not the time. Naruto saw that both Kiba's were close and each one was taking a different side. Naruto, in response, waited until the exact moment the Kiba's were an arm's length away and thrust his arms out toward them causing the drills to collide into his palms. The resulting shockwave blew the smoke away to the right. Naruto was about to, again, celebrate, but then he heard Kiro again. "Wait, if they use the same amount of force, then the smoke would have gone forward, backward, or up. But it went left. Something's not right. Be on guard, Naruto!" Too late.
Naruto noticed that one of the Kiba's didn't feel like anything. He gasped suddenly as a Tsuuga drilled into his back. Naruto swiped at it , but it was already moving on. Then he realized too late that he let go of the other one and was hit on the side by the Tsuuga. Naruto again swiped again with same results. This continued as the Kiba's attacked one by one where Naruto wasn't expecting it. Naruto was in trouble. Even with Dragon Skin, he was getting hurt. "Kiro, what should I do?"
"He's attacking you using two people. So you need to balance that out. Hmm, I know. You have to summon! Hey Naruto, what elements can you use to summon?"
"I can't summon! Wait, more people? I could use the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
"No, they disperse after one hit don't they? They can't help much. Look for elements!"
"Uhhh, all I can see is the stone floor, but I don't think I could chip away at it right now. There's the metal bars in the stands but that would disqualify me."
"Keep thinking!"
Naruto looked around as he was hit by a Kiba. He was thrown forward onto the ground. He turned around so he would face the ceiling to get up, but then he saw his answer. "Kiro! The lights! They have electricity running through them!"
"Grab some! Don't worry about being shocked!"
Naruto rolled backwards to avoid a Tsuuga from drilling into his stomach. He then used a chakra enhanced jump to reach the ceiling, the two Kiba's not far away. He then punched into a light panel and was filled with electricity. When the Kiba's saw that touching Naruto was dangerous, they veered off and landed.
Everyone was looking at Naruto like he was crazy.
"What is that baka doing?" yelled Sakura.
"Is he trying to die? What is wrong with your teammate, forehead?" shouted Ino.
'Naruto-kun! Stop! You'll die!, thought the shy Hyuuga heiress, trying not to think about what she would do if her crush did die.
Naruto yelled in his mind, "KIRO! What do I do now?"
"An incantation. It has to be unique to the dragon. Remember he is going to be a lightning dragon and say what universe you want him/her from."
Naruto thought for a moment before saying aloud, "Hear me, creature of thunder. As the Dragon Lord, I grant you permission to come to Naka and aid me in battle. Come forward dragon of Jōi and strike down my enemies!"
This shocked everyone. They weren't expecting this. But the most surprised was the Hokage. 'Dragon Lord? What does he mean "As the Dragon Lord"?... dragon? Jōi? How does he know all this?
Naruto thrust his hand and the electricity coursed through his arm. It shot out of his hand and although it seemed impossible the blue electricity stopped in midair. Then it weaved itself into a weird blue symbol as big as Naruto. It was a circle with a diamond shape in it. Inside the diamond at the center was a circle with 稲妻(lightining) inscribed in it. The points of the diamond were connected by thin lines. At the points where the lines of the diamond met, a lightning like line was there connected to the edge of the circle. (Again, I will have it on my profile) There was a rumble like a short earthquake and the seal turned into a blue circle. Then out of the circle, something shot out and looked at the Kiba's.
Kiba almost wet his pants when he saw this… this monster. It had no legs or any appendage for that matter. It looked like a giant worm. Except worms don't have rock skin with cracks and they don't have a blue light shining out of the cracks. In Naruto's mind, he heard, "Listen and repeat everything I say."
Naruto cleared his voice and everyone looked at him. "This is a dragon. It is a Worm, a dragon that has no legs, arms, or wings. This is the first kind of dragon to exist."
Everyone didn't do anything to this new info. They were still stuck on the Worm. But the Hokage was processing the information. He had studied dragon legends before. After all, he was called The Professor. He knew that what Naruto had said was true. 'Then is it possible that Naruto has become a Dragon Lord? But how? There hasn't been a dragon for over 600 years.
The Worm spoke in a deep, guttural voice. "Thou hath summoned me?"
"Thou? What's with the old language?"
"I have not been in Naka for 800 years. If thy language has changed, I hath not known."
"Okay…" Well, it's going to be hard to give commands to him and know what he is saying. Kiro, act like a translator.
"Who is thine enemy that thou besought to strike?"
'Kiro?
"Who is your enemy that you requested to strike?"
Naruto looked at the Worm. "Those two guys over there. The ones that look like clones of each other and have a beast appearance."
"I see." The Worm looked at the both of them. The Kiba's were still glued to the floor and their eyes stuck on the monster. "Dost thou durst to challenge me?"
Even though the Kiba's didn't get the first part, they understood challenge. Kiba looked at Kiba and nodded. They took off in different directions. "Cat and mouse. An interesting game that dost not get tiresome after overmany years." The Worm disappeared in a flash of light. The original stopped and tried to sniff the Worm out, but it seemed like his scent was everywhere. Without his scent, he relied on sight. He tried to find the dragon, looking everywhere. He caught a glimpse of a streak of light. His eyes tried to follow it, but lost it. 'How fast is that thing going? It's lighting up like a sun, but I still can't see where it is.
As Kiba was turning, he saw a glimpse of Naruto. He was standing over a beaten, un-transformed Akamaru. The white dog laid on its side, covered in dust and bruises. "AKAMARU!" Kiba rushed toward his partner. As he was running, he saw the Worm stop for a moment on the right of him. It looked like it was made of blue light, but then it resumed its speed toward Kiba. 'It's going to run into me. Can't dodge it.
The Worm went right through Kiba without hitting him. 'What? I see, it can't hit me in this form. It's not the real threat. The threat is the loser, he thought until the Worm's tail left Kiba's body. Kiba stopped moving. It wasn't anything outside affecting him. 'What? My body won't respond? Then came the pain. It coursed throughout his body starting the head down to the feet. And lastly, Kiba rocketed off in the direction of the wall and created a crater two times his size. He was knocked unconscious.
"I see. The Worm turned to pure electricity and went through dog boy. He was frozen due to the interference with his nervous system's EM energy and was shot off since the Worm's electricity is negative. The electricity in dog boy is also negative and likes repel likes." Kiro had kept this to himself. Naruto would just create another mind tornado.
"Winner! Uzumaki Naruto!"
Naruto looked at the Worm. "I like you. What's your name?"
"My name is Valkun of Jōi."
"Valkun. I'll remember and summon you next time."
Valkun disappeared through another blue seal that he created. Naruto stopped the flow of dragon chakra and he returned normal.
