I do not own Naruto, simple as that.
Once Naruto memorized the poisons the sword had available he pulled out his own poisons and submerged the sword in each one until it had enough to be memorized into the sword's poison 'bank', Naruto realized he would also have to ask Sasori to donate some of his poisons as well.
As Naruto began getting ready to find Sasori and call it a night, he remembered he was supposed to meet with Sakura on top of the hirst Hokage's stone head. As he dashed through Konoha he noticed more and more glares, had the kind smiles of earlier only been because Jiraiya was with him? Without thinking about the glares too much he dashed to the monument, he arrived but was about three minutes late.
'Had this been the rendezvous point in a mission those three minutes could have cost everyone their lives.' Naruto thought as he looked around, he didn't see Sakura so he decided to lay down and wait for her. Right as he was about to lay down he heard a scream of terror, he launched himself up into the air and saw a horrendous sight, a shinobi facing Sakura, but it wasn't just any kind of Shinobi, it was apparent a puppeteer was controllng the man, seeing as how the Shinobi was rotting ad obviously had no life.
"Oi, Sakura, move now." Naruto said, Sakura nodded and quickly ran away, Naruto unealed Bahamut and unsheathed the Kusanagi, as the puppet got into range Bahamut clawed it, cleaving the dead body in half, Naruto felt the chakra strings and attached his own chakra strings to them, with a tug the puppeteer in question was dragged out of the trees, it was a man with grey hair, his face was riddled with scars and his suna headband indicated a missing nin.
"Your after me and Sasori-sensei, I suppose. Too bad I have to kill you." Naruto said as he focused on a rather potent poison that the Kusanagi had been dipped in, the sword flashed in a bright light and revealed that it hadn't changed at all, Naruto shrugged and stabbed the old man, the poison being excreted only from the length that was inside the body. The man's muscles began violently contracting, one could hear the muscles tearing themselves as they contracted, Naruto only shuddered slightly, no matter how well he had been trained, that sound was one he had heard only once, and that was when he used his chakra strings to rip the muscles of the person asunder.
"Naruto, impressive work with puppet use, chakra string use, and ability to use a poison long forgotten." Sasori said as the old man jumped back up, skin and torn muscles peeling off to reveal a puppet. One of Sasori's puppets none the less.
"Sasori-sensei, you had this planned the entire time, didn't you?" Naruto asked, Sasori shrugged.
"No, not the entire time, I came up here and focused my chakra in fully controlling that puppet, it took no small amount of genius to pull it off without you realizing any chakra strings were attached to him. Anyway seeing as you were late Sakura and I came up with an idea, just to see if your skills had dropped any." Sasori said, Sakura came back to the stone head and laughed.
"I can't believe you fell for it, though for a moment I forgot it was only a joke." Sakura said, Naruto growled lightly before grabbing Sakura and leaping high to the air and vanished, once they stopped they were at a ramen stand.
"I know this place isn't exactly the epitome of good, but the ramen here is better than anything I have ever tasted, next to the beloved dango which only freaking bars around here sell." Naruto said, Sakura nodded and the two walked inside and sat down and ordered a bowl of beef ramen, they then began conversing
"I'll start off. I'm Sakura Haruno, as you already know, I come from a pretty weak clan, all we have is a split persona that is about two times stronger than the Haruno they reside in. I like Sasuke Uchiha, you might have heard about him, he's the last Uchiha left in Konoha, and I would love to help him restore his clan, I also like to garden and mess with Ino, I dislike very little but it would be nothing to worry about in a fight. My goal in life is to become a great kunoichi and eventually become a mother. My hobbies are helping in anway possible." Naruto grinned a bit before speaking.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I trained with Akasuna no Sasori and ahve learned to use puppets as well as high level ninjutsu, genjutsu, and some taijutsu. I can name all the death spots, but I have a slight mental block preventing me from remembering exactly where the heart is located exactly, I mean, it's obvious it's general location, but without help I can never hit the heart, I assume you saw me use Onigumo's revenge, that puppet was my way around that block, assuming I had the time to do that. I like my sensei, my puppets, learning new jutsu, and my girlfriend in Kumo. I dislike the way my girlfriend was treated in Kumo, the fact there is NO DANGO around here that I can easily obtain, and drunkards, unless I can kill them of course. Ah also I dislike weaklings that try to be Shinobi, for the single attempt of getting close to their object of love. My goal in life is to find the Eight tailed snake. My hobbies are adding puppets to my collection. Ah if it woudn't be too much of a bother to you I would like to add a puppet similar to you to my arsenal, I have no intentions of making you into a puppet, just make one out of wood." Naruto said, Sakura nodded, they turned to their ramen and ate it quickly before leaving and going to Naruto's apartment.
"Alright, so what exactly do you need me to do?" Sakura asked, Naruto motioned to an upraised platform in his apartment and motioned for her to get up on it.
"Well if you would like the puppet of you to be precise in every form you will have to strip down nude, or next to nude." Sakura thought for a moment before sliding off her top outfit(1), revealing an all black spandex suit that showed off all of her curves, Naruto took in every little detail before pulling out a block of wood as tall as Sakura, about three hours alter a perfect wooden puppet of Sakura, curves and all, was laying on the ground, Naruto was panting. "Female puppets are harder to make that I thought, hey, you need to go home, your mother may be worried, don't tell her you conversed with me, because I have a feeling she may not like me." Naruto said, Sakura nodded and put her outfit on, she waved to Naruto and left. Naruto turned his attention to the puppet and pulled a scroll out and unsealed it, revealing a book entitled 'Making and applying fake skin' and different containers, weapons, scrolls, as well as other books. Another half hour later Naruto was finished and an almost completed puppet stood in front of him, after sealing all his stuff he looked around.
"Now all I need is to see if Sakura can get me an exact duplicate of her outfit." Naruto said to himself as he located his old bed room and sighed, apparently the villagers' disgust towards him didn't disappear when HE disappeared for a while, his old bed was covered in excrement and smelt like urine mixed with dead skunk. "How the hell could I not smell that earlier?" Naruto said as he jumped out of his apartment covering his very sensitive nose, he smelt three things once he landed, Sakura, blood, and alchohol. His eyes widened as he dashed through the woods to where the scent was gettign stronger, upon arriving he noticed that Sakra's scent was gone, meaning she wasn't taken to this place, however, now he smelt something different, a feminine scent, still, but it smelt more like lavendar instead of cherries.
In the area Naruto just entered, which was simply a small shack with a lot of trees surrounding it, very tall, very large trees. Naruto took a step and listened, he heard a drunk man inside mumbling something about raping the girl inside and forcing her to have his children, that was all Naruto needed to knock the door down and have Onigumo's revenge prepared.
"Hey, you damn drunk bastard, as long as I can stop it, no girl shall be raped within Konoha, now feel the wrath of Onigumo's revenge." Naruto said, Onigumo's abdomen split open and the thousands of tiny spiders connected to chakra strings jumped out, the drunk man only managed a slurred 'huh?' as Naruto summoned another puppet, another large spider, though this one, instead of being a bit taller than Naruto, was easily as large as a small island, and stood as tall as the huge trees in the surrounding area. "This is Onigumo's sacrifice. To maintain it I use a hell of a lot of chakra strings, but I love his purpose." Naruto said as five more puppets like Onigumo's revenge landed around Naruto, their abdomens split open and more tiny spiders crawled out and began covering the man. eating away at the epidermis, revealing his dermis, so far no blood was spilt. "Heh, now that your epidermis is gone, these guys can go." Naruto said, all of his puppets vanished and in their place a puppet as tall as Naruto appeared, it's arms shot up, and from the left arm shot out grains of white, while the right arm shot out lemon juice. the two streams hit the man and he shouted in agony as the salt and lemon juice began burning his muscle system. "Hey, girl, let's go." Naruto said as he untied the girl, picked her up, and vanished in a poof of smoke, they arrived right outside an abandoned four story house, the girl was unconscious and Naruto grinned, time to make another wooden puppet, much like he did with Sakura he got a block of wood, he put the girl under a genjutsu to keep her asleep while he worked, pulling her clothes off he worked until all the details were EXACT, right down to the birth mark on her rear end.
After a few ours the girl awoke and realized something, first she hadn't been raped, second there was a boy that was manipulating what looked like a puppet that looked exactly like her, except the puppet had no form of clothing on it. she then realized that to have made something that detailed she had to have been naked.
"Who are you, and why is that puppet so lifelike?" the girl, a Hyuga, asked.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I saved your ass back there, I liked your body sooooo much I decided to make a puppet with your exact likeness, every last physical detail is exactly like yours." Naruto said, the girl looked at Naruto, then at her herself, then back to Naruto, then sent Naruto flying across the yard and into a tree that gave way after he hit, causing it to fall, the Hyuga, still weak after the incident and using chakra to enhance the punch, couldn't move, right as the tree was about to hit her, Naruto's puppet, another Onigumo design, stopped the tree from flattening her.
"Hey, consider that payment for seeing you naked without permission." Naruto said as he looked at the house, a nice place to live, not too far away from the training ground where his new team would train. "Ah, what's your name?"
"Hinata Hyuga, you pervert." Hinata said as she began walking off, only to find she couldn't move, she saw Naruto releasing chakra from his finger tips, she noticed that she had become wrapped up in chakra strings, Naruto tugged and she felw towards him, stopping a centimeter away from his face, he darted his tongue out, licking her lips, she shuddered as he embraced her in a familiar way.
"Heh, sorry bout that, beautiful girls always make me lose control of my hormones." Naruto said, Hinata blushed and turned away, she noticed she had gotten aroused simply by Naruto licking her lips, she mentally cursed herself as Naruto let her go "Later Hina-chan, I'll see ya later, ah before you go, do you know someone named Neji?" Hinata's eyes went wide.
"Why?' Hinata asked, a bit worried.
"He's on my team and I'd rather not get off on the wrong foot with him." Naruto replied a bit nervously.
"Well he is one of the strongest of the Hyuga, despite being a branch member, his father died while he was young and he holds resentment to the main branch because of it, he always rants about fate being chosen at birth and can ramble about fate if left alone for a few hours." Hinata said, Naruto thanked her and walked inside his new house, only to find Sasori in it, clearing out a few rooms for his puppet design rooms, the red headed puppet master turned and saw Naruto.
"I guess great minds think alike. How bout we split the house evenly, I get the first and third floor, you get the second and fourth?" Naruto suggested, Sasori nodded and the two began setting things up, Naruto found that the house was actually fully furnished and that the previous owners had abandoned the place after they lost all their money. They were weapon makers, which helped both Naruto and Sasori alot since they left plenty of metal when they left.
"Naruto, we are lucky as hell, there is a fridge on all four floors. There are also at least a hundred sealing scrolls on each floor, we hit the jackpot." Sasori said, Naruto jumped in joy.
"Sasori-sensei, I'm going to go ahead and get to bed, my strange team meets tomorrow." Naruto said, he then remembered Lee was trying to run around Konoha, he turned and jumped into the air, looking for the presence of his chakra claw, he saw it vanish and he appeared right beside Lee, who was looking tired.
"I did..." was all Lee could say before falling to the ground, exhausted.
"Wow, I honestly thought you wouldn't be able to do it, congratulations, Lee." Naruto said as he picked up his teammate and took him to the four story house to let him rest up for the next day.
Later that night Lee woke up panting, he looked around still half asleep, he saw someone in the corner working on a puppet wearing a green muscle shirt, green cargo pants, and a pair of green fingerless gloves with metal studs on the knuckles, Naruto nodded as Lee came beside him and watched him work.
"This puppet looks kinda like me." Lee stated, the puppet had hair almost exactly like Lee, only slicked back, while the eyebrows remained unchanged "Why did you make a puppet similar to me?" Lee asked the puppetier, Naruto shrugged.
"If I believe an ally is strong, or stubborn, or, if it's a female, I like her body, I make a puppet exactly like them, in your case I couldn't get the puppet's hair into a bowl cut like yours so I slicked it back instead. It has three layers, a wooden layer surrounded by a metal layering surrounded by fake skin, the outfit is loosely based around yours with the addition of the gloves, all I need to do now is master a taijutsu style devised to deal massive damage." Lee grinned brightly
"Gai-sensei can help with that." Lee said, Naruto shrugged before telling Lee to go back to bed.
The next morning Naruto and Lee went to the training grounds, Gai noticed Lee looked different than he had the previous day, he wasn't wearing the green spandex suit, instead it was green cargo pants, and a green shirt with green fingerless gloves, his hair was slicked back, and his eyebrows were cut down a little so they were more normal, the only thing not different was how loud he was.
"GAI-SENSEI! My youthful teammate, Naruto, has shown me that my previous attire wouldn't only interfere with my training, but also would keep away any potential girlfriend." Lee said, bowing to Gai, the rest of the team, Naruto not included, looked shocked at Lee's change.
"My most youthful student, the spandex suit allowed for the best training possible." this time it was Naruto's turn to speak.
"Actually, sensei, the spandex suit disagreed with training fully, if hit with a kunai the chances of piercing the suit is a dangerously high amount, if caught on fire it could melt to your skin, causing wounds that would never properly heal." Naruto pointed out, Gai's eyes went wide with realization.
"I'M SO SORRY LEE!! TO REPENT I WILL RUN FIVE HUNDRED LAPS AROUND KONOHA WITH ONE OF NARUTO'S CHAKRA CLAWS, NO, TWO OF NARUTO'S CHAKRA CLAWS ON MY BACK." Gai shouted, Naruto shook his head.
"One chakra claw is okay, if you aren't a demon, anymore will kill you, even an immortal would be hard pressed to complete a single mile without collapsing from an intense pain." Naruto warned, his eyes betraying no seriousness in his words. "Also, don't worry about it, you just have to think about the negatives as well as the positives to a training outfit. For instance Lee's new outfit has a feather light metal interwoven into the fabric, I have a pair that should fit you, sensei." Naruto said, pulling out a larger version of Lee's outfit and tossing it to Gai.
"Thank you my student, I will change into these right now." Gai said before jumping into a bush and changing into the much better outfit. "I feel a difference, my youthful students, today we begin training, Neji you and Tenten can either work with us today or train with what you need to. If you have any questions ask me. Lee I will be teaching you a new taijutsu technique today, Naruto I will help you in whatever way possible."
"All I need are scrolls to a taijutsu style that focuses around heavy hits, other than that I need speed training but I have gravity seals for that." Naruto said, Gai grinned before pulling out five scrolls.
"These scrolls contain all the techniques of the Lotus, use these wisely and let no one take these or I will personally pummel you into submission." Gai said, all seriousness in his words.
"Alright, sensei." Naruto said as he walked to a secluded area to read, an hour later and Maito Gai yelled for his team to meet in front of him immediately.
"Alright guys, today is our first B-ranked mission with Naruto, so lets do our best!" Gai shotued, Lee shouted as well, Neji and Tenten nodded, Naruto just grinned.
"So what's the mission, Gai-sensei?" Lee asked, Gai only grinned.
"There have been reports of a bandit camp in a little safe zone between Konoha and Suna, the reason the zone is 'safe' for bandits is because a large chunk of the north and south is known as the land of Graves, and a powerful village resides there, but where the bandits are located is a place designed for travelling between the land of fire and the land of wind." Gai said, his fear visible in his eyes, or maybe he was just being dramatic. "We will be safe as long as the Kage from there doesn't decide to get mad all of a sudden." Gai said as the five walked to the gates, where the guards greeted them.
"I see you have a fourth team member Gai, whats up with that?" one of the chunin asked.
"Well, this boy is a genius, possibly prepared for A or S-rank missions. Well we have a bandit camp to vanquish, let's go team, day one will be all travel at night we rest for a few hours before continuing, if we make it there early at day two we rest and go over a batle plan, if we get there late we formulate a battle plan and execute it. If we somehow do not make it on the second day, but on day three instead we run in and attempt to flatten the place." Gai said, all four of his genin sweat dropped.
"Actually, if we release our weights, I can carry Tenten while Lee carries Neji, and we should easily make it there today." Naruto suggested, Gai nodded and gave the order, both Naruto and Lee released their weights, Naruto picked Tenten up bridal style while Neji, as much as he didn't want to, hopped on Lee's back. By the time they got there the bandits were sleeping, time for them to do the same.
After four hours of rest the team woke up and prepared an all out assault, Naruto first lured a bandit off into thewoods where they were, Naruto killed him and suggested his team turn away, they didn't and watched as Naruto turned the bandit into a human puppet, Neji, Lee, and Gai looked green while Tenten was intrigued, a bit green, but still intrigued, after all Naruto did just shove tons of weapon's inside a five foot tall human puppet.
"I told you guys not to watch, but oh well at least now you know what the process is like, trust me after a few times you'll get used to watching it." Naruto said, Tenten was about to start pestering him about teaching her when Naruto made the puppet spring to life. After a few experimental twirls and attacks Naruto had the puppet move into to the bandit camp, no one thought any different of the man, Naruto then thought of a plan, and using a device he had placed in the puppet's throat he said he was going to go and be back later that night, no one thought any different of the puppet. "Sensei, here's the plan, we wait till they send out guards, we SILENTLY kill them off, then those that are asleep should be killed silently, no doubt there are same shinobi in the camp, I felt chakra when I had this puppet in there, but the ninja in there noticed nothing out of the ordinary. So what I'm going to do is go in first, with this puppet, and have it kill anyone guarding the entrance with that task accomplished we move in, I pull out some of my better puppets and silently kill, while you guys see if their are hostages, any hostages are to be kept ALIVE no matter how dangerous they are, simply knock them out but do not kill." Naruto said, the rest of the group noded and they waited, Naruto talked to Tenten about weapons and puppets, and agreed to teach her once they got back to Konoha.
Finally night arrived and bandits could be seen retiring to their beds, preparing for bandit-like activities the next day, after a half hour only one guard was out, another half hour and no other guard accompanied him, Naruto got to work. With the human puppet he had made, he sent it into the camp, the bandit guard had no idea, until a katana cleaved him in half, naruto and his team moved in, he thought for a moment, then he told Neji to use his byakugan to find any hostages, Neji checked, they found a single hostage, a girl from Kumo, once they retrieved her, anyone could tell Naruto was mad, his killer intent was a dead give away. They may not have raped her but still, they kid napped his girlfriend, e told his team to take her a good distance away, as he summoend both Bahamut and Neo Bahamut, he made them combine to form Zero, who took flight high above the camp and unleashed his attack, Naruto was on the dragon's back and was satisfied when the blast destroyed the entire camp. He landed around his team, clutching his side as the chakra drain was evident, as was how tired he was.
"Naru-kun!" Naruto's girlfriend shouted as she tackled him to the ground in a back breaking hug and started licking him as if she was a cat.
"Yugito-chan, can you get off of me?" Naruto asked before adding "I'm tired from flattening that camp." Yugito only hopped off of Naruto once he kissed her gently on the lips, she then took her head band off and chucked it far off in the woods. 'So your finally going to take up the offer I gave you when we first met? Your actually going to come to Konoha?" Naruto asked, Yugito nodded and Naruto picked her up bridal style while Lee once again carried Neji and Gai carried Tenten, neither of which liked who was holding them, but dealt with it. Once they arrived at Konoha, Gai told them to go get a good rest and team meetings would resume the next day, Lee and Yugito followed Naruto towards his house.
"Oi, I can understand why Yugito-chan is following me, but why are you Lee?" Naruto asked, Lee rubbed the back of his head.
"I don't actually have a house, I figured you might let me stay at your spacious house for a while." Lee said, Naruto shrugged.
"Well the place is pretty big, as long as you don't mess around on the second or fourth floor." Naruto warned, Yugito knew the reason and nodded, Lee shrugged but nodded anyway.
Later that night Naruto began working on an Onigumo puppet design that intrigued him. In the morning his girl friend, Lee, and Sasori saw the results, the wooden frame of Onigumo, a human shaped puppet that was as tall as Naruto, with four spider legs on each side, Naruto was nowhere in sight, Sasori had a strange feeling he knew where Naruto was,seeing as the puppet was standing up straight. Sasori stayed where he was while Yugito and Lee walked by, suddenly the puppet twitched and a chakra web shot out and caught Yugito and Lee, meanwhile the puppet was bent over, laughing.
"Oh, that was perfect." Naruto said as the puppet was sealed away, once the smoke cleared Naruto was grinning. "Anyway I made two puppets last night, I finished the base for Onigumo himself, and I made the design for Onigumo's offering." Naruto said as he unsealed Onigumo around him and walked off with Lee.
"Naruto, can you keep those excess legs hidden?" Sasori asked, Naruto nodded, the legs folded inside the puppet, and Lee and the blond began walking towards their training ground.
Upon arriving at the training ground, Gai attacked Naruto, who blocked, Onigumo's arms seemed to absorb the blow, but still Naruto was sent flying into a tree.
"Oi, watch it sensei!" Naruto shotued, Gai looked at Naruto and sked a question.
"Who are you?" Naruto sweat dropped.
"I'm Naruto, you know, your student." Naruto said and Gai looked dumbfounded.
"How are you in a puppet? Gai asked, Naruto sighed.
"Well, a puppet can hold a variety of uses, most puppetiers use puppets as a means of fighting, others use them as body armor, still others use them as both, I fall into that category. Anyway, currently this puppet is designed for the purpose of light travel, missions outside of the village gets me outta this one and stay out of a puppet so my movement isn't slowed down." Naruto said, Gai nodded thoughtfully before pulling out a mission scroll.
"Today is yet another C-rank mission." Gai said, the team grinned as Gai told what the mission entailed. "We are going to be guarding an architect, we will receive the regular payment after completion, however the architect has been kind enough to donate, to a puppet master in Konoha, three hundred and forty wooden blocks that stand as tall as a bijuu." Naruto grinned at the amount of puppets, and puppet parts, he could carve with all that wood.
"When do we set out?" Naruto asked, more than ready to leave.
"We leave in thiry minutes." Gai said, Naruto nodded and vanished, reappearing in front of the gate with a back pack labeled 'C-rank mission pack' their client was waiting there as well, the man, maybe in his late thirties or early forties, talked to Naruto about various aspects of building various things. Half an hour later the rest of Team Gai appeared at the gate, they began walking with the architect between two Onigmo's revenge puppets.
"Naruto-san, is this necessary, you know the Onigumo designs freak me out." the architect said,naruto shrugged.
"It's either this or I could get my newer dragon puppets out." the architect shook his head.
"No way in hell will I be around a dragon."
"Alright then, Onigumo's revenge it is." Naruto said, he noticed someone attempting to hide in the trees, a bandit most likely. Once the figure leapt out in front of the group, Naruto was the frst to react, with his puppets preparing to release their spiders,
"You shinobi just give me the architect, my mission is to kill him." ocne the man said this Naruto had the tiny spiders eat away at the epiderms.
"I have a good torture for you." Naruto said as he attached chakra strings to the skinless man and made him walk around on the rough, gravelly road. "You know, your screams of pain are useless, so deal with this puppet." Naruto said, summoning a puppet with a cloak covering it's body except for two large see through tanks on it's back, one full of white grains, the other lemon juice. "I recently boosted this puppet's capacity for salt and lemon juice."Naruto said as the puppet's arms shot open and shot out lemon juice, the right, and salt, the left, however from the mouth came an almost see through liquid, pure vinegar. the man's screams doubled as he went limp. "He passed out from that little bit of torture." Naruto said as he threw a senbon straight through the bandit's heart, and they progressed, leaving him to die.
As they neared the drop off point, a heavy killing intent froze them all to their spots, even Naruto was sweating.
"Heh, someone as strong as me, having to kill a simple architect. The pay isn't even that good." the voice said as four massive swords nearly slashed through the architect, thankfully right as they were about to go through the architect, Naruto summoned his Wood Lee puppet. "They shoulda torn through that kid, what the hell?" the voice asked, not realizing the puppet, Naruto grinned, and in a poof of smoke a shadow loomed everywhere, Onigumo's sacrifice dropped hundreds Onigumo's revenge, the voice apparently being hit as well, seeing as an 'oof' was heard, Naruto quickly located who it was and saw a sad sight indeed, a bulky bandit using a Killer intent machine.
"No wonder I was rooted to the spot. Those machines put out so much killer intent even the user becomes fearful at times." Naruto said as the man's epidermis was chewed through, Naruto yawned as he just let the tiny spider's eat the blood vessels of the man. "Alright team, let's move out." Naruto said, his team nodded and within a half hour they reached the destination and the architect thanked them, and handed Naruto a scroll marked 'wooden blocks', Naruto thanked the man before his team and he left via insant transport. Once they arrive back at Konoha, Naruto and Lee walked home, while Neji opted to heading towards the nearest diner with Tenten. Once Naruto and Lee arrived at the 'Puppet Warehouse', as Naruto and some civillians had named it, Lee requested the chakra claw to be attached to his back. Naruto nodded and let his chakra claw attach itself to Lee.
The next day Tenten found Naruto walking around Konoha with his Wood Lee puppet walking beside him, while Rock Lee walked on the other side.
"Hey, Naruto, wen you going to teach me how to use puppets?" Tenten asked the blond puppetier, who shrugged.
"Come with us and you will be trained by a true master." Naruto said as the three, four if you count the puppet, walked back to the four story Puppet Warehouse. "Oi, sensei!" Naruto shouted once they arrived, Sasori yawned and came down from the second floor.
"Hey Naruto, hey Lee. Hi bun girl." Sasori said as he walked to the group. "What can I help you with Naruto?
"A simple request really, train Tenten to use puppets." Naruto stated stoically, Sasori shrugged.
"Ok, as long as she listens to my every word and doesn't slack off." Sasori said as he patted Tenten on her head like she was an animal.
Sasori had her follow him as he explained to her the basic of a chakra string, once that was out of the way he told her the basics of making a chakra string, she told him she knew how to make chakra strings and used them with her many throwing weapons, Sasori looked shocked for a moment before shrugging and explaining how to use a basic puppet.
Over the next two months Tenten learned how to control puppets, after agreeing never to teach anyone the art she prepared to begin making her own puppets, once the end of the third month came around Naruto went to the Hokage for his new team.
"Alright Naruto, if you hadn't been here we would have a squad of two genin, so your filling in for their third member, one of them is an avenger, most likely a hopeless cause to be a friend, and the other is a kunoichi who is, how should I put this, different. You will meet the two at the academy." the ages kage said Naruto asked who the two were "Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno." Naruto grinned a bit.
"I know the Haruno well enough, the Uchiha is, indeed, a mostly lost cause from what Sakura-san has told me. I will try to work with these two, I know me and Sakura-san will work well together, and I recently heard she was going out with my former teamamte, Lee." Sarutobi nodded. "Meaning the previous lust for the Uchiha will not interfere with our teamwork." Once more, Sarutobi nodded. "But if the Uchiha attempts to attack me, I will not hesitate in killing him." Sarutobi nodded as Naruto headed towards the academy, vanishing quickly as he reappeared in front of the building and walking in, he searched for Sakura's unique chakra signal and found it rather quickly.
"Hello Sakura-san." Naruto said as he walked into the room, where Sakura and Sasuke were in, waiting for their sensie.
"We were told we would have a strong third team mate, you are weak." Sasuke said, Naruto looked at the Uchiha, glared, and flipped him the bird.
"Attack me, and you'll find out how 'weak' I am, arrogant scum." Naruto said, Sasuke stood up and lunged at Naruto, only to be interrupted by Wood Lee. "How sad, if you can beat me you should easily be able to break this puppet with a single finger, no chakra manipulation at all." Naruto said, Sakura grinned a bit, only three people could do that, Rock Lee, Maito Gai, and Tsunade of the sannin. Sasuke slugged the puppet as hard as he could, the puppet didn't even budge, so the boy slugged it again. "Give it up Sasuke-san, you wouldn't want to bust your pretty little knuckles up and have to go to the hospital for a little scuff." Naruto said in a very mocking way.
"What would you know! I deserve all the power in the world, I...Must...Kill...Itachi...Uchiha." Sasuke said, Naruto ''ahhh'd" in understanding.
"If that's the case, maybe I can train you in the art of puppets, mind you your gonna have to lose the ENTIRE avenger bit, else my surrogate father will make it where you see Itachi raping you every time you close your eyes." Sasuke's eyes widened and he shivered a bit, he decided if he was to gain power he would need to be, at least, a little kinder to the people around him.
"Ok, I will TRY being more, open, but if i can't get stronger I will do as I please." Naruto nodded to the terms and pulled a few scrolls out that were labeled "Puppet theory", "Chakra string Theory","Creating your own puppet", and "Jamming lots of sharp. pointy objects into a wooden puppet", the 'author' of each of those said Naruto Uzumaki.
"I recommend reading chakra string theory first, then pupet theory, tjem creating your own puppet, and finish it out with jamming lots of weapons into it. Once you can master those to an extent, I will show you the BEST scroll." Naruto pulled out a scroll that read 'Making a puppet out of a dead human, read only if you have mastered using twelve puppets at once" once again Naruto was the author.
"You can make a puppet of a living being?" Sasuke asked, his eyes were wide, Naruto pulled out a scroll and summoned a puppet head, it was the head of a once living Konoha Shinobi that had pissed him off, someone by the name of Mizuki. "how can someone be so sick?"
"Simple, a ninja must be able to turn off all emotions when the times comes. I will help you reach that state of being before your first kill, Uchiha." Naruto said, Sasuke smiled a bit, finally someone who could help him further his ambition. "Until my father says you have mastered the ability you will be living with my 'family', composing of, so far, Akasuna no Sasori, Tenten, Rock Lee, Yugito Nii, Sakura, and, assuming Sasori lets you stay, you." Naruto said, Sasuke gulped.
"Akasuna no Sasori? The human puppet?" Naruto replied sarcastically.
"No, his grandmother Chiyo." Naruto said, Sasuke sweat dropped, the three genin sat back and waited for their incredibly late sensei.
Once their sensei arrived they nearly attacked him, a man whose grey hair defied gravity, his head band covering his left eye and a mask covering his face from the nose down walked in with an orange book.
"Hello guys, up to the roof." the man said, the three genin nodded and went up to the roof where their sensei was waiting, reading his book.
"Alright kids, now introduce yourselves, I'll start, just to be nice. My name is Kakashi Hatake, I like things, I dislike things, I have dreams, and I have hobbies, your next doll boy." Kakashi said, Naruto grinned a bit.
"My name iz Naruto Uzumaki, don't insult my puppets again or I will have a new human puppet. I like ramen, puppets, my sensei I learned puppetry with, Maito Gai and his team, friends, and torture, I dislike needless death, annoyances, when someone left my training puppets in the rain, I'm talking about you, Sakura, and the time it takes to cook ramen, my goal is to become a kage, an S-classed missing nin, and or a large family, seeing as I DO have to revive my clan, thank you previous Hokages for the clan revival laws. My hobbies are making puppets and flirting with good looking women, who, for some reason, either faint or punch me high into the air." Kakashi chuckled a bit at the dreams, while Sasuke just twitched.
"MY name is Sakura Haruno, I like just what I like, I dislike my former fan girly attitude, my dream is to become a strong and respectful kunoichi, my hobbies are helping however I can."
