you have until around mid november to make your pick, keep in mind this is NOT a harem fic.
naruto awoke the next day, feeling as if all his troubles have been lifted away. rising from he bed he was greeted to the dripping mawl of Ju'kal kneeling by his bed.
"Whaaaaa!" the young blonde yelled as he jumped back only to fall on the other side of his bed. "ita, damn that hurt."
"Young Master, good you are awake. now we can begin your training." said the werejackle as he stood up and disappeared in a sandstrom of black sand.
as naruto got up and ready for the day a head, he notice a gold and black scorpion fallowing him around his apartment. it wasnt until the scorpion took the form of Scorpina standing there in all her beauty as she was clad in black satin and gold plated armor.
"my lord, how faired your rest? not to bad i hope, i had told General Ju'kal that he should have waited until you were up, and not waited by your bedside, like mother hen." said Scorpina as she hid a sly grin behind her sleeve as she let out a small and playful giggle. this annoyed naruto just abit, he really did not like to wake up to sand made werejackles face first thing in the morning. "Oh, Master. who is this 'Sakura-chan.'?"
the tone was so sickly sweet, it was sour. but being the dunce that he was, nailed his own coffen with out knowning.
"Oh, she is on my team, she is super pretty and just as smart. but she so hung up on the teme, that she dosent give me the time of day. no matter how much i try and impress her." naruto said as his head dropped at near the end. " it's always Sasuke-kun that, or Sasuke-kun this. hell i was the one that saved her on our mission to wave, i fought to protect both of them, i get nothing in return."
by this time tears began to form in the corners of his eyes.
"Master if i may, I believe this Sakura is unworthy of your time and attention, from what i understand, she is what is call a 'fan-girl' and they are an insult to being a ninja. so stand tall, and move on master, Ju'kal and I will stand by your side, should you storm the gates of heaven or hell, we will fallow you without question." Scorpina said as determination and Admiration that shown in her eyes that took on a starry look as paise seem to just flow from them as well. "Now, we must be going. Ju'kal is not one for waiting."
-Training Ground 24-
as naruto arrived at the training ground that Ju'kal had been waiting, he was greeted by a new sight that would change the corse of the elemental nations history. there standing was six men waiting for him.
the first was a tall dark skinned man, with no hair upon his head. he wore a black battle robe, with gold lining. and symbols he had seen from Anubis' throne.
the next was a pair of men that were stark contrasts to one another. for one was a short and heavy set man with noble like look to him, the other was a tall and bone thin, with geasy hair that was parted down the middle of his head.
the next was tan skin man with a wide set and strong looking jaw. the man carried himself as like a war lord and almost like cat like in looks. while wearing a spotted fur coat.
the last pairing were two men one blond and another a burnette. both seemed friendly with one another. the tallest was a broad man wearing silver and red, while a large hammer hung by his side, the other slightly shorter than his friend wore green and gold, and carried a strange looking spear.
but it was the dark skin man in the battle robe that turned to greet naruto and scorpina as the entered the training ground.
"Ah, Young master. you have arrived." said the man as he bowed to naruto on one knee. "I have gotten word from your Forefathers that we will train you."
"Ju'kal?" naruto asked, while he had seen his great grand father change form, it was new to him to see the beast made of sand change his form.
"Yes, My master." said the man as he stood up and wave towards the group of men. "Young Master, allow me to introduce you to your new teachers."
waving his hand to the Man in the spotted cloak and leather armor. "this young master is Tezcatlipoca, he is your great grandfather's: Quezatcoatl's twin brother. he will be training you in the art of stealth. for a jaguar is the most deadliest beast of the jungle."
"You may call me Tezca, little one. my brother has shown me your life, and by such you have earned that right." said the man as he gave a slight bow to the blonde. (Sheer Khan's voice and behavoir.)
"these two here, serve your other Forefather Hades, they are-"
"Pain, At your service Young lord." said the overly chubby man, he stood no taller than naruto and just as round.
"and Panic, i look forward to teaching you. Young master." said the tall man in a quick and nervous tone.
"right, now moving on. these two are the sons of your great grandfather odin." said Ju'kal as he was slightly irrated with the duo of hades minions, wondering if these two were really Hades' most elite or just wanted to get rid of them.
"I am Thor Odin-son, Prince of Asgard, and god of thunder. It is a pleasure to meet a grandNephew." said the man in red and silver. as he walked up to the young blond only to pick him up into a tight bear hug. "I can not wait to take up arms with you young lad,"
"I am Loki Odin-son, Prince of Asgard, and god of trickery and fire. it's-"
"trickery? like pranks?" naruto asked with a mischievous fox like smirk.
"indeed." said the sly god as he could see the same spark for mischief dance in the young boy's eyes just like his so long ago. "i could tell you have a taste for pranks young one, so tell me what was the best prank you have pulled off."
at this naruto's fox like smirk grew dark.
"see that monument with the four faces carved into it?" naruto said as he jestured to the kage monument, which earned him a nod from gods and demons alike. "painted that in broad day light, and was not notice until i was finished and lead the village anbu and some chunin on a wild goose chase across the the entire village before Iruka-sensei found me."
it only took a few moments until loki through his head back and letting out a loud bark of laughter.
"Boy, you deserve the title of the god of mischief, more than I." loki said as he wiped away a joyous tear. "now, shall we begin his training? i do believe we have only a week until these finals begin."
"Agreed brother, Ju'kal. shall we start? i would like to see how, my nephew fairs in combat." said the tallest blonde as he pulled out a heavy looking hammer.
"Hold yourself, thor. while young master is trained, but his training is flawed due to these villagers irrogance and fear." said Ju'kal as he stood before the thunderer. "I believe we should start with a recruit training, then move on from there."
"um, guys i could use shadow clones to help with training. after all what ever my clones learn i will learn once they dispell." naruto said as he formed a shadow clone of himself. "it might help speed up training."
what naruto saw next scard him for the rest of his days, as behind the group of six stood shadow silhouettes of red eyed demonic begins. he could tell their true forms just by looking at those nightmarish creatures. the werejackle, the twin org like demons, the tall and short demonic imps, and finally the were-jaguar.
"this will do quite nicely my dear, dear nephew." said loki as a sinsister smirk graced his narrow face. "may i ask, how many clones could you make before you feel tired?"
"couple... thou...sand." naruto said with nervous fear showing in his voice as well as his face.
"Say Brother, how do you feel about a crash corse in Asgardian Combat, i am sure our dear nephew would just love to know how to fight like a god." said loki as his grin grew larger.
"I say brother, that is a most excellent idea." thor said with a cheerful grin on his face.
Pain and Panic looked to one another as a sharp tooth grin on each of their faces shown brightly.
"hey Panic, the boss said we had to train the boy right?"
"yeah...?"
"he didnt say anything about training him until he is half dead, right?"
"yes, but he would be pissed when naruto gets hurt though."
"you mean, 'IF' naruto gets hurt."
"If? 'if' is good." Panic said as he gain an evil look on his face as he and Pain looked at naruto, who in turned swallowed his fear like a large grape.
"Enough you fools, Naruto shall train with the understanding of War, than he shall learn the combat of an Asgradian, than he shall know the thresthold of the mind, body, and soul. as finally Ju'kal shall teach him the the arts of the black sand." said Tezca, as he picked up the two imp demons and glare them in the eyes. which did the trick to silencing them. before he dropped them and turned his attention to naruto. "come along lad, we are begining your training now."
after a full week of training with over two thousand clones being used as training dummies and to gather knowledge form spars, katas, and other such things from the six of them, naruto could say that never in his life had he trained that hard. it felt like legs were made of lead, his back ached, muscles and bones were sore. every night he went home brused and physically broken, only for scorpina to tend to his bruses and wounds that have not healed yet. and every morning started just the same, get up, get dressed, eat, and off to the training ground.
during that week Jiraiya of the Senin, tried to take him back in training, only to be aqquited by Ju'kal and the other five, saying that if he was a proper teacher he would know that naruto's chakra was sealed off, and that pushing him off and into a bottomless pit, showed he did not deserve to be his teacher, even went as far to say that naruto was no longer on the toad's summoning contract, which was true as Anubis himself said that his army was his to his command as as such no fat ass Frog, should be the beast of choice to his great grandson, even the elder toads tried to persuade him to see reason, and telling him about the prophecy, to which he said.
-flashback-
"Naruto is the Foreson of myself, lord Hades, Lord Odin, and Lord Quezatcoatl. if he so chooses to destory the world or save it. it is up to him. what ever the choice. my army, myself, and the others shall have his backing. know this you dispicable frog, you or that good for nothing Senin of yours, try and enslave or force my great grandson in any shape or form. i will make it so that all your clans souls will now the green fires of my realm, torment rivers of hades, the limbo plains of Helhim, and the never ending darkness of the world of the dead. this is your only warning, make sure the sorry excues of a sage know this, if even puts one hair out of line, i will take his soul and feast upon it like a holiday roast." said the Jackle god of death as he and the other gods stood by him. "we are god, and naruto is all but a true god. and when he dies, your gods shall bow to him as thier king, and you shall bow as the king of all gods of this realm."
the ungodly amount of KI leaking over into the toad's realm was to much for the elder toad as he could only bow in respects to the four gods that warned him that if naruto's name is not taken off the summoning contract that their world was going to be rocked asunder that not even the tallest peaks shall be nothing more than mounds of rubble and dust.
-Flashpresent-
but enough with that to day was the day of the finals, and naruto could hardly wait. as clouds of black sand flew across the roof tops of konoha towards the chunin stadium as the finals were about to begin.
-stadium-
Scorpina was growing bored waiting for her master to show, she and Ju'kal along with the other gods and two demons awaited his arrival. Pain took a set beside beside his friend with a big bag of popcorn and a large drink. while Panic only had a small bag of chocolates and a juice box.
Thor and Loki each had a large mug of Asgardian Mead, while Loki only sipped his drink, his brother took no shame in gulping down the heavenly brew.
Tezca sat with his large chin on a curled fist with a bored and sleepy look on his face. "Nephew, i grow bored. better come soon."
it was only about a minute and they were just about to begin.
"Would everyone, besides Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga please leave as we are about to begin the match." yelled the Senban chewing shinobi. only to see that Neji was the only on on the field. "damn kid, he is the first match and he is almost late."
"figures, he finally sees that it is fate that he should lose to day and ran like a coward." said the hyuga genius. only for a large back sand cloud hoovering above them.
seeing such a large sand cloud spinning slowly, which pick up speed becoming a sand twister as it made contact where naruto should be standing. as the black sandstorm began to calm it revealed Naruto standing there wearing the Black Nemean Lion armor and the Golden Anubis scorpion in the middle of his chest, and Chisen strapped to his back. he even wore a black fur cloak/cape, that made naruto look more intimidating. his blond hair flowed freely as he did not wear the headband only to have it wrapped around his upper arm.
"Naruto Uzumaki, present and accounted for. so lets begin this match." said the blond as he threw his cape to the side, to show off more of the Black Nemean armor.
"alright, the Match Bewtween: Naruto Uzumaki VS. Neji Hyuga, shall begin." said the announcer as he jumped out of the field.
"should have left when you had the chance, and Now you will see that fate has declared Me, the winner." said Neji with the Holier-than-thou tone, only for people up in the stadium to see him fly across the field into a wall, with naruto standing were Neji should have been with an arm out stretched as if hitting something.
but to the train eye, they seen naruto run across the field and throwing a heavy punch into neji's chest that later sent him into the wall behind him.
"Rule 1 about fighting, Never lower your gaurd, even to a weaker enemy. for a toothless worm today is a venomous snake tomorrow." said naruto as he put his hands into his pockets. "may as well call the match. he will not be getting up from that."
everyone was shocked, here a boy who had troubles fighting the inuzuka heir, now sending the rookie of the year before, into a wall like a used rag.
"w-winner, Naruto Uzumaki." said the jonin in shock as may of the others were still trying to come out from their shock.
"Go Go, Naruto!
you badass Motherfucker,
you came you saw.
You Punched his faggot ass in the Jaw."
many turned to look at a tall thin man and a short fat man singing upon the blondes victory, only for the two to be silenced by the woman of the group. as she swatted them.
as naruto made his way up to the stands, but when sakura tried to congradulate him, he only brushed her off and sat beside the tan woman that wore black and gold and a tall dark skin man wearing a black battle robe.
"Naruto-baka, stop bothering the guests!" yelled the pinkette only to stop cold in her tracks as a golden hook like blade was pressing close to her throut.
"watch it girl, My master said i shall not kill you, but that does not reframe me from teaching you the meaning of your betters." said the dark skinned man.
"Ju'kal, enough." naruto said in a stricted tone. to which Ju'kal with drew his blade though with some distain, not to his master. but to the girl in front of him.
"what my master saw in you, is beyond me like the deepest reaches of the abyss." said the humanized werejackle as he sheathed his blade.
sakura was terrified, but what he said dawned on her. 'saw' the use of pastence, meaning naruto had moved on, while she was happy about that, some part of her broke.
"would Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara Sabaku please report to the field." said the jonin, only for a ninja to appear and whisper into his ear. "I correct myself, would Temari Sabaku and Shikamaru Nara report to the field."
while naruto watched as the village seem to favor the uchiha it disgust him and his new friends. "Ju'kal."
"Yes, my master?"
"go to the Hokage, and tell him that if he shows any more leniency toward the uchiha, that you as the Daimyo's repressentive shall cut the village's funding by Five-sixths of the current funding. also tell him that i do not favor a favorist." naruto said in a strain tone, showing that he was trying to controll his emotions.
"by your will." said ju'kal as he left to the kage's booth.
-kage's booth.-
"greeting Hokage-dono and Kazekage-dono." Jukal said as he entered the booth, only for Anbu to stand between him and the kage's. "while your honorable duty is respected, but to hold a blade against the Daimyo's Representive is a high crime of treason, i am sure you do not want to have your heads removed from your bodies do you?"
this caused the Anbu guards to shake a little at this, and the kages to flinch.
"My Apologies..."
"Jukal"
"yes, My Apologies Jukal-dono. may i ask why you are here." asked the elderly kage as he was curious to why a representive was here.
"i am here to tell you that i have witness somethng disturbing." said Jukal which caused the kazekage to stiffen at this.
"pray tell, what is that?"
"well as you Know the daimyo-sama himself, is a fair and generous man. if you ask me, far to fair and generous, you see he and myself do not like favoritism, like you had shown with the uchiha, the fire lord himself is very displeased with this. anymore favoristism that is shown, and Konoha will suffer, the daimyo wants soilders, not polictical favorist. also as a punishment should this happen again. konohagakure's funding will be cut by five-sixth of what is the current funding." said jukal as he took in the shocked look on sarutobi's face. "I should also mention, that you try to make a comparmise, that punishment will be act upon. meaning that should the uchiha fail to show again. he will be disqualified, and will not be promoted. oh, on a positive note, he wants to know that blonde boy, his lordship had said that 'never in my life had i seen a match that short, and won by a single hit.', i believe his lordship would like to see that boy promote for being quick and effective just how a shinobi is suppost to be. that is all."
with that jukal made his way back, not before he change his form to that of normal human form, instead of that high class robe and japanese outfit.
'damn, now. my plans are ruined... maybe i could use the Kyuubi brats match to my advantage.' came the thoughts of Orochimaru in the Kazekage disguise.
'my, naruto you have drawn quite the attention to yourself. well done.' thought sarutobi with a proud smile on his face.
-stadium field-
"Second Match, Temari Sabaku VS. Shikamaru Nara. shall begin." said the jonin, which lead the blond bombshell and lazy burnette to begin their battle.
TO BE CONTINUED...
