A/N Let us see how this goes down. I'm bored and this story came to mind. Don't like it, don't read it. If you have any advice I am more than willing to listen.
Now onto The Hidden Truth.
The Day He Left
Naruto walked away from the Village Hidden in the Leaves smiling and waving at his 'friends' and 'senseis'. He continued to do so until he couldn't see them any more. Once they were about 5 miles from the village Naruto stopped in the middle of the road and started laughing crazily.
Jiraiya looked back at him thinking he had finally cracked. He was surprised to see that Naruto pulling off his kill me orange jumpsuit and jumping on it in nothing but boxers.
"What the hell are you doing kid?"
Naruto stopped and looked at him before smiling wickedly and unsealing some clothes from a scroll on his side. This surprised Jiraiya because he hadn't taught him anything about sealing. Even though sealing and unsealing items is basic in seals, by ninja standards it takes lots of intelligence and concentration.
Once Naruto was dressed he had on all black with crimson trim, ANBU pants, combat boots, and a long trench coat.
"Thank Kami I can take off those stupid fucking clothes. Something wrong Jiraiya?"
That shocked Jiraiya more than anything, Naruto had never called him by his actual name, it was always Ero-Sennin. Jiraiya quickly grabbed 'Naruto' and slammed him against a tree.
"Who are you and what have you done with my student?"
"Why are you holding a log against a tree, Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya looked back to see Naruto standing there making sure his clothes looked good, and looked at his hand to see he was in fact holding a log.
"How did he perform a substitution that quickly? Naruto was never that good."
"Don't make me repeat myself."
'Naruto' raised his hands in surrender.
"Fine, fine. I am in fact Naruto just not the escapade I performed to trick everyone you are familiar with."
"How do I know you are telling the truth?"
"Jiraiya of the Sannin, an orphan who was trained by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Kami no Shinobi. Teammates were formerly Tsunade Senju and Orochimaru who is also an orphan. Considered the weakest of the Sannin for the longest time, but you retained your skills much better in you older years. You taught the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, and my father, and me. You taught me summoning and the rasengan which I learned both in less than a month, at least that is what you saw. I won a bet with Tsunade Senju gaining her necklace and her becoming the Godaime Hokage. You are an infiltration and ninjutsu specialist. You are the only known person alive who can perform the famed Sage mode, a copy of the Sage of Six Paths powers, and you have been known to be a pervert and chronic drinker. Overall you are among the five strongest people alive currently. Good enough?"
Jiraiya just stood there mouth agape trying to comprehend the situation.
"So why did you put up the former persona?"
"Do you realize how quickly the 'demon child' would have been executed if it was found that he was an actual threat and intelligent. No, this was the safest course of action. While I am fairly strong and could give you a decent challenge if going all out, I was nor am ready for the amount of people who would try to kill me in the village. I know for a fact Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Hiashi Hyuga, Tsume Inuzuka, 50% percent of the ninja population, and 95% of the civilian population would have been after me had I not been an idiot."
Jiraiya just sat there thinking.
"What could have possibly made you believe this? I know a lot of people didn't like you, but still that seems a bit much."
Naruto started laughing hysterically. After a minute or so he calmed down with a serious expression on his face.
"Would you like to see one of the one thousand four hundred and seventy-three incident that occurred making me believe this?"
"How?"
"A variation of the Yamanaka clan technique. They aren't as well-kept a secret as people think."
Jiraiya thought about if for a second before nodding his head in agreement. Naruto walked over and placed his hand on top of Jiraiya and started concentrating chakra.
The Memory
A seven year old Naruto was walking around Konoha, heading towards Ichiraku, when a pretty woman stepped in front of him. She looked down at him and smiled.
"Hello little one, where are you headed, my names Kurenai?"
Naruto looked at her skeptically.
"Jiji said I shouldn't talk to strangers."
She looked at him and just continued smiling.
" Well you can talk to me Naruto-chan?"
"I didn't tell you my name!"
Kurenai quickly knocked him out and carried him to a training ground a good distance from the village.
Once she arrived she saw Asuma waiting there standing next to a post. She handed him to Asuma and he tied Naruto to the post.
A few minutes Naruto woke up tied to the post. He looked around worriedly.
"Where am I? What am I dong here?"
Asuma hit him and yelled.
"Shut up you little demon! This is payback for taking all the attention from my father."
Naruto was confused by what he said, but didn't have time to respond before Asuma started going through handseals.
"Fire Style - Burning Ash"
Asuma spit out a giant cloud of burning ash over Naruto. Which only slightly burned Naruto.
"Now you little demon, Kurenai here is going to put you under a genjutsu to make sure you don't pass out until someone comes here and helps. Which will be hours from now."
After Kurenai performed the genjutsu. Asuma and her started to walk away, but not before Asuma flicked his cigarette into the ash setting Naruto ablaze.
The last ten seconds of the memory were filled with Naruto's screams.
End of Memory
Jiraiya just stared at Naruto who was just standing there.
"That lasted for nearly four hours. Sarutobi never convicted them because he couldn't bare to send his son to prison. I later found out Sarutobi did in fact disown him though. I bet that was a kick in the teeth."
"I loved Sarutobi like a grandfather, but he was to kind for his own good. To hopeful just like my father."
"So you know about your old man to?"
"Yes, and don't even try to justify his actions. I don't want to hear it. He knew what would happen, so what he did is inexcusable."
Jiraiya honestly couldn't blame him with what he saw. If Naruto had to experience things like that as many times as he said, Jiraiya understood completely.
"I won't, I understand. Do you know about your mom?"
Naruto snorted, "Yeah, I know that she left me at three years old and put a memory seal on me so I wouldn't remember. She had planned on coming back when I was sixteen and to act like she had a reason for leaving, but really she just didn't want to deal with everyone hating her."
Jiraiya just looked sadly at Naruto.
"Don't go sappy on me Jiraiya. I don't want pity."
Jiraiya understood, "So what do you plan on doing?"
"At first I was going to destroy Konoha."
Jiraiya stiffened at this, but wasn't very surprised.
"In the end I decided I would do something else."
Jiraiya was all ears for this.
Long talk about his plans. You aren't finding them out yet.
Naruto walked over the Jiraiya with his hand extended.
"So, will you help me Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya had already decided and took the hand.
"Oh, and I know why Tsunade is so self-conscious of her age and why Orochimaru is so set on becoming immortal."
Jiraiya's eyes just widened before he nodded his head in understanding.
"First we are headed to Taki, right?"
Naruto nodded his head.
"Yes. I remember hearing my mom had some children, is it true?"
"Yeah, two girls. One is 12 and the other is 2. I don't know who the father is though."
"Didn't she start rebuilding the Uzumaki clan?"
"Yeah, she invited any of the Uzumaki's left to Uzu. I believe there are currently around 1,500 of them."
"Hm, interesting. How many Biju do Akatsuki currently have?"
"The four and five tail, but they have the three tail under control because he is the current Mizukage."
"I see."
"So what kind of stuff do you know that you have been hiding from everyone?"
"I am developing a taijutsu style, that when finished will incorporate my hardened nails, Tsunade's super strength, dual daggers, elemental chakra, the Raikage's Lightning Armor, Sage mode, and the Fox's chakra."
Jiraiya looked at him like he was insane that would take years to develop, even if it was possible. He doesn't have enough time...
"You know the secrets of shadow clones don't you?"
Naruto smirked at him. "Damn right I do. I'd have to be retarded not to."
"So what is your progress on this?"
"I've got the nails, daggers, and most of the elemental chakra down. I'm about a fourth of the way done with Tsunade's strength. I can't do Sage mode obviously, and the Lightning Armor is harder to control than Tsunade's strength. I can go to 3 tails before losing it even though me and the Fox are on decent terms I still have to deal with his blood lust."
"How did you get on good terms with him anyways?
"Well, him seeing my doujutsu helped a lot. After that he only asked that he could change his cell to something better, that I don't try and control him, and that I kill some people he doesn't like."
"Well those are pretty good terms... WAIT DOUJUTSU?!"
"Yeah, that is what I said."
"Which one do you have?"
"Now I'm sure you can figure that out, who is the Uzumaki clan closely related to?"
"You posses that doujutsu? Holy hell, you will be a force to be reckoned with. That explains how you can master more than two elements."
"Yeah. It is very useful."
"So anything else you were hiding from everyone?"
"Not anything big. I can do Rasengan and Odama Rasengan one-handed. I'm working on an elemental enhanced version at the moment. Though to truly finish it I think I'm going to need Sage mode. I know at least B-rank moves for every element. I'm working on forming sub-elements, but it could be a while."
Jiraiya was shocked by how much he knew, but considering how many clones he could make it wasn't that surprising.
"What would you rank yourself at right now?"
"Hm, I could probably take on Kakashi if I went 1 tail, 2 tails definitely. And that is only because of experience."
At this Naruto remembered something.
"Oh yeah, we need to go by Wave first. I need to get something there."
"Ok, that's fine. It isn't really that far out of the way. Will probably take two hours to get there from here."
Two Hours Later - Just Outside of Wave
Naruto and Jiraiya were almost to the bridge when Naruto saw someone stumble out of the woods. They ran over to whoever it was. Naruto instantly recognized her.
"This was the girl who was with the escort group for Saskue. I thought she died in her fight with Temari."
Naruto looked over her. She was cut up all over and her legs look busted to hell.
"I'm guessing you lost on purpose?"
Naruto nodded at Jiraiya's question and propped Tayuya in his lap.
"Think she could be useful Jiraiya?"
"Possibly. Orochimaru usually forces people to follow him by using the curse seal."
Naruto had an idea, but wasn't sure it would work.
"You think since she has the seal the fox's chakra could help heal her?"
"Yeah, it is worth a shot, though I don't know how you are going to get it into her."
Naruto just nodded and leaned down and kissed her. This shocked Jiraiya who just stood there staring.
Tayuya decided to wake up now. Which happened to be Naruto kissing her which shocked her so bad she couldn't even respond.
Once Naruto leaned up he looked at her.
"Better?"
She was about to hit him when she realized that she wasn't hurting anymore. When she looked down she noticed that her cuts were healing and her legs were feeling better.
"What did she do?"
"I breathed some demonic healing chakra into you, and since you've dealt with the cursed chakra it didn't hurt you."
She nodded her head in understanding. Naruto took off his jacket and wrapped it around her before picking her up.
"Come on Jiraiya, I know somewhere we can stay while she heals. Should be fine by tomorrow."
Within a few minutes they were at the bridge which read "The Great Naruto Bridge" Jiraiya stared at it while Naruto just laughed and continued walking.
Jiraiya ran up to him before stopping noticing the same thing Naruto had.
The city was being ransacked and burned. Naruto quickly ran into the village.
Once they got to the middle of town they noticed a large group of nuke ninjas. At the front of the group was a man holding Tsunami and another holding Tazuna and Inari.
Naruto just stopped at the back of the large group of people. The man holding Tazuna and Inari spoke up. He wore baggy grey pants and a blue shirt. He had on a golden jacket with a dragon on the back.
"Today we will be taking over this village in the name of the Dragon Gang. Don' try and run and don't fight back or else."
Now the one holding Tsunami spoke. He wore the same as the other, but had on a red shirt, "To show you what will happen if you try and do so I am going to rape this woman and then kill her and her father in front of this boy. "
Inari and Tazuna were screaming now and the man ripped Tsunami's shirt off. When he was about to take her pants everyone froze.
Naruto's Pov
Naruto stood their watching as the men... no scum spoke. He kept his calm when he threatened lives, he kept his calm even when he threatened to rape Tsunami, but he wouldn't after hearing the screams.
Naruto released his killing intent freezing everyone. He turned around handing Tayuya to Jiraiya. He started walking through the group of people. The people were starting to realize who this was. Once Naruto reached the front of the group he stopped.
"I recommend you let them go and leave right now. If not I'll have to kill you all."
The ninja started laughing.
"You're out of you league kid, leave before you get hurt playing with Dragons."
Naruto looked around before looking at them.
"I don't know much about Dragons, but I can show you a Demon."
The way he said it sent a chill up their spines.
"Anyone who doesn't want to die better leave. Now!"
Everyone behind Naruto started running away and Naruto raised his hands at the Dragons.
"Universal Pull"
A/N And that is all folks. This seems like a good chapter. Till next time.
Ah who am I kidding. I'm just messing with you.
Three clones appeared behind Naruto catching Tsunami, Tazuna, and Inari as they flew towards him. The clones ran away with them.
Naruto got into a stance. The dragons were a little freaked, but figured it was just a trick. The one that had the blue shirt just laughed.
"Get him boys."
The men ran at Naruto who just stood there waiting for them. When they were ten feet away he spoke.
"1st Ring of Hell - Puncture"
Naruto's eyes slanted and his nails grew and became pointed, along with this he grew one tail of chakra.
Everyone stopped and just stared. Naruto just smiled taunting them to come forward.
They decided to, such a poor choice.
As soon as the first one reached Naruto he started tearing through them. He went mostly for the throat or eyes as to kill quickly, after killing 50 of the 200 ninja, which he had realized none of them actually knew any jutsu, he decided to end them.
Naruto jumped into the air and holding himself there with Gravity Manipulation went through handseals.
"I tire of you all, now die. Fire Style - Great Fire Annihilation"
Naruto breathed out a gigantic wave of fire that washed over all of the ninjas instantly killing them. After two minutes Naruto dropped to the ground and looked at the two survivors. Even though the two had survived they were fairly badly burned.
"Ha, you little punk I'll kill you and rape..."
Before he could finish Naruto was in front of him with his hand through his chest.
"Be quiet."
Before the other man could speak Naruto had already done the same to him. Naruto flicked the blood of his hand before heading over to Jiraiya. Before getting there he went through a couple of handseals.
"Fire Style - Phoenix Fire Blast"
He shot out several fire balls into the sky confusing Jiraiya. With that his chakra cloak vanished. By the time he got over to Jiraiya it had started raining answering Jiraiya unasked question. He took Tayuya from Jiraiya and walked over to Tazuna's.
"Where did you learn that jutsu from? It belonged to Madara."
"Fire jutsus are the easiest to learn because of the lack of control required and not much concentration. It is the only reason Uchihas could learn them at such an early age. It also helps that Kyuubi's chakra nature is fire making it easier to perform them when I have the cloak."
"So is your fighting style called the Rings of Hell?"
Naruto nodded and they continued walking. As they walked people cheered for Naruto for saving them. They approached Tazuna's house where Inari, Tazuna, and Tsunami waited for them. Once they got close Inari ran up and hugged Naruto's leg causing Naruto to laugh.
"I hope you are alright, Tsunami."
"Yes I am, thank you Naruto."
Tazuna walked up and placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Thank you so much for saving us again, Naruto. If there is any way I can repay you just ask."
"Do you mind if we stay here a few days while she recovers?"
"Not at all my boy. Tsunami can you take Naruto here to a room so he can put this lady in a bed."
Tsunami nodded and walked inside followed by Naruto. They walked upstairs to the room they were in last time and Naruto layed Tayuya down on the bed. After covering her up he walked out and closed the door. He looked at Tsunami and smiled before walking back downstairs. He walked past Jiraiya, Tazuna, and Inari.
"I'll be back around 10 or so. I need to go get something."
With that he walked out leaving a confused Inari and Tazuna.
"What is he getting?"
Jiraiya shrugged, "I don't know, it was the original reason we came here though."
With Naruto - Zabuza and Haku's Grave
Naruto was at there grave and was just starring.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save you two, but I couldn't risk the backlash of bringing you back. I hope you can forgive me."
With that Naruto picked up the Executioner's Blade.
"I'm sorry that I'm taking your sword Zabzua, but I thought you would want someone worthy to have it. I don't think that is me, but I will find someone. I promise. And Haku I have people to protect, and plan on gaining many more."
After a few minutes Jiraiya walked up.
"So this is what you wanted to get. Zabuza Momochi's famed Executioner Blade. You want to find someone worthy of it."
"Yes, but I couldn't get it before because Konoha would've tried to take it."
"I understand."
After a few more minutes Naruto raised his hand over the grave.
"Creation of All Things"
A tombstone rose out of the ground with a message on it.
"Here lie to great shinobi, friends, and people. May they find each other in the afterlife and may we strive to be more like them in their final moments : Selfless."
With that Naruto walked away smiling.
11 P.M. - Tazuna's House
Naruto walked up the stairs to check on Tayuya. He opened the door inside and saw her sitting up and looking around.
"How are you feeling?"
She looked at him in surprise.
"Why did you save me?"
Naruto shrugged, "I glanced at your memories, you didn't actually like Orochimaru, you just didn't want to be killed."
"Thanks... wait why the fuck did you look at my memories?"
"Firstly I only looked at your memories of Orochimaru and second I needed to make sure you weren't a threat."
She calmed down at that.
"Ok. I understand."
"Good, now how do you feel?
"I feel fine, but my legs still are pretty messed up."
Naruto nodded and sat down on the other bed in the room.
"I figured they would. Should be fine sometime tomorrow though."
"I'm glad, not being able to walk sucks."
"Yeah. So what are you going to do when you're healed?"
She thought about it for a moment.
"I'm not sure really. Didn't think this would ever happen."
"You could always come with us."
Tayuya just looked at him in shock.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, why not?"
"I was trying to kill you a few days ago."
Naruto just shrugged laying down on the bed.
"And? That was then this is now."
"It isn't that simple."
"Maybe not, but I'm willing to let it be that simple."
"Why?"
"I hold no grudge against you, plus I saw your memories not like you had a huge amount of choice in the matter. On top of all that, I'm bad at holding a grudge on a pretty girl."
Tayuya was thankful until what he said last and started blushing.
"Sh.. shut u... up. Idi... idiot."
He chuckled at her.
"Calm down Tayuya. No need to get flustered."
She just huffed and layed down turning away from him.
He laughed, "Ok then. Goodnight."
The Next Morning
Naruto woke up and looked around. Tayuya was still in bed, he figured it was around seven in the morning. He stood up and stretched before going into the bathroom and taking a shower and brushing his teeth.
After that he walked about a mile from the house and created 2000 clones.
"Alright guys, make 6 groups of 250. Group 1 practice Sealing, Group 2 practice Tsunade's strength technique, Group 3 practice creating sub-elements, Groups 4, 5, and 6 practice earth, water, and lightning elements respectively."
After the clones had gotten into their groups Naruto started doing his morning warm-ups which consisted of 200 push-ups, sit-up, squats, pull-ups, 500 log hits with each arm and leg, and finally 5 mile run.
Most would consider this a workout, but when you had Naruto's stamina it was a fairly simple task. An hour later Naruto was finished and was resting under a tree. He looked up and saw Jiraiya walking his way.
"Hey Jiraiya, can you look at something for me?"
"Sure what is it?"
"I just need you to check and see if my Gravity Seals are working properly and were put on right."
"Sure, but I thought you said you were a level 5 Seal Master. Gravity Seals are level 7 seals."
"I am, but I learned Gravity Seals early. It is the only higher level seal I know."
Jiraiya nodded in understanding. He walked over to Naruto who started concentrating chakra so he could see the seals. After a few minutes Jiraiya stood up.
"They look fine to me. How long have you had them on?"
"About 4 months now."
"Hm, you must be increasing them quicker because of your healing and the fox. You are about where most people would be in a little over a year."
Naruto nodded in agreement and stood up stretching.
"Oh yeah, do you have a jutsu to help grow hair?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I figured a way to style and change hair color, but I couldn't get the hair length down. Can you go get a few clones from the group and show them how to do it?"
"Yeah no problem."
"Thanks. While you're doing that I'll check on Tayuya and see if she's fine to travel, if so we can leave in an hour."
Jiraiya nodded before walking off to grab a few clones. Naruto quickly headed to the house and walked up the stairs to Tayuya's room. He slowly opened the door and looked inside.
Tayuya was looking around the room confused. She looked at him for a moment before speaking.
"Why did you save me?"
She was having conflicting emotions. She normally didn't like anyone and she had expected to die yesterday. So she was surprised to be saved and for it to be someone she had been fighting against.
Naruto shrugged, "You weren't a threat to me and you don't seem very loyal to Orochimaru so, why not?"
She just stayed quiet and looked at him for a few minutes.
"What am I to do now? I've had to serve that snake asshole for so long, I don't know what to do now."
"You could come with me until you decide what to do."
Tayuya was surprised by that. He was still trying to help her.
"I guess."
"Can you walk yet?"
She nodded, "No, I already tried to a few minutes before you came in here."
A/N So I gave up about right here. Maybe someone else can do something with this idea. Naruto has been pretending and stops once he leaves on his training trip. If you think you can do something with it, be my guest.
Toxic Meltdown Out
