So thanks to all of you that reviewed.
Here's chapter 3 of Naruto:The blazing dragon
The Chunin Exams and Toshin's gift
Naruto unlocked the door to his apartment, leaning his spear against the wall before flopping down onto his bed. It had been a long day. The had returned to the village after a three day long trek back from Wave, who he was happy to hear was already flourishing with the completion of the bridge and the money that Gatou had stolen from them. He had explained to Sasuke where he had gotten the spear but that he didn't know how he had summoned the white fire that had covered his body, that all he knew was that he felt incredibly angry at Haku for almost killing the avenger.
Then they had reported to the Hokage's office for a debriefing of their mission, where the old man had made Naruto stay after his teamates had left and explain all he had felt when he had used the white chakra, making sure that it wasn't Kyuubi. He sighed, rolling over and punching his pillow into a more comfortable shape before drifting off to sleep. As he did he realized that he had felt quite different from using that white chakra. He could think more clearly and it was as if someone had dulled the pain that the glares and whispers had brought when he had returned to Konoha.
(Mindscape)
Naruto stood in the middle of a large black marble hall. The walls were black marble as well but were covered in white cracks that pulsed a bluish white color. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the odd settings, this was not his bed. He walked forward, moving towards a white light that seemed to glow at the end of the hallway. His steps echoed loudly off the walls, the white light growing brighter as he neared it. Naruto began to squint at its brightness and when he believed it was too bright to continue to look at the light faded, revealing him in a large room with the same walls and floor as the hallways that he had been passing through earlier. But in this room there were far more viens in the rock and they glowed brighter that the ones in the hallway had, which must have been giving off the large amounts of light that he'd seen.
The light they gave off had dimmed enough for him to see clearly without being blinded by it and he cast his eyes around the room, wondering what was so important about this room for their to be so many veins of light here. He noticed a man sitting on a white marble through that appeared to have been carved seemlessly from the floor as there was no noticable break from the throne and the floor. The man had pale blond hair and dark green eyes, but his body was covered by the white cloak he wore.
The man smiled upon seeing Naruto enter the room, standing up and walking over to the boy. "Where am I?" Naruto asked the man before him. "You're in your mind Naruto?" Naruto cast his eyes around the room. "Then where the Kyuubi, shouldn't he be here?" The man chuckled softly and waved an arm through the air. From the ground rose another marble throne which he gestured Naruto to take a seat in. He made a smaller throne for himself, taking a seat before the former jinchuuriki.
"The Kyuubi is gone, I took care of him." Naruto raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean you took care of him, who are you exactly?" The man stood up, bowing before Naruto. "Forigve me sire, my name is Toshin and I was the Kyuubi's superior. When you summoned his chakra at the bridge in Wave country he planned to pumpmore into you that you could handle and take control of your body. I could not let this happen so I traveled here through the spiritual plane which I speak to you about in a moment. The seal that was on the Kyuubi's cage was design to take his chakra, purify it, and then add it to your already large reserves. I merely sped up the process, absorbing the Kyuubi's chakra."
"Why did you call me sire?" Naruto asked. Toshin raised an eyebrow at the question. "Because I have accepted you as my master, you have tapped into my power before with no adverse effects other than your changing features." Naruto's eyes widened as the realization hit him. "So it was your power on the bridge, you're the reason that Kyuubi's chakra disappeared as I fought Haku." The man nodded. "As I said he was planning to control your body once you channeled it, and this was something that I could not allow."
"But why me?" Naruto asked. Toshin sat back down on his throne. "Because I have taken an intrest in you, Uzumaki Naruto. For thirteen years you have held the Kyuubi at bay through the power of your own will. The seal was only design to drain the Kyuubi's chakra and make him weaker, but it was your will that subjugated him. I've seen how he damaged your life and mind, and made it my duty to repair it." Naruto gestured at the stone around him. "So this was your doing?" He asked. "Only partly sire, this is how your mind originally looked, but after years of the Kyuubi's dark influence and amplifying the anger you felt towards those around you, you mind turned into a dark sewer. I am merely cleaning the mess he made."
Naruto nodded. "What about those glowing veins in the walls?" Toshin smiled slightly. "Those are your chakra pathways, and the reason they glow so brightly is from the amount of chakra you constantly have running through them. The glow white because my chakra is also a part of your chakra pathways. The Kyuubi's chakra forced your chakra from the coils, running his own foul chakra through them and damaging them. My power acts in a different way, It wraps around your coils, amplifying the power of the chakra you already have running through them, as well as giving it the white color."
Naruto nodded, taking in all the information he was being given. "What of the spear I created?" Toshin's eyes seemed to shine and Naruto's spear appeared in his hand. "This spear?" he asked. when Naruto nodded he continued. "This spear is a manifestation of your desire to help your friends, you needed a weapon and my power formed one for you."
"What about that spiritual plane you mentioned?" Naruto asked. "The spiritual plane is know to you mortals as the summoning plane, it is where all the tailed demons traveled to earth from and is also where the summoned creatures you human's favor reside." Naruto pointed at his spear, which was still in Toshin's hand. "What about the spear, does it have any abilities?" Toshin stood before standing up, his throne receding into the stone below him.
"No the spear itself does not have any special abilities but I does when you channel my power into it, watch." He began to channel his power into the spear. His eyes gowed brightly and his hair and cloak began to ruffle in a nonexistant wind. The spear began to flicker, flames appearing on the shaft of it. Toshin began to spin the spear rapidly, the whistle of the metal wings through the air was like a roar in Naruto's ears. Toshin stopped spinning it before quickly jabbing forwards with a cry of "Dragon's Roar!" A large ball of white fire burst from the dragon's mouth, crossing the length of the room in the blink of an eye before impacting with the wall.
A large crater formed in the wall before quickly sealing itself up. Toshin handed Naruto the spear. "This technique is my gift to you, and with it you wil have an instinctive knowledge of how to channel my power through your body. My next gift will come when I believe you are ready for it, but for now, you're waking up. Goodbye, Master Naruto. I will speak with you again when you rest tonight." Naruto nodded as he felt himself being pulled into the world of the waking. "Thank you." He said, before disappearing from his mind.
Toshin sighed, staring at the spot where Naruto had been. "No, thank you Master Naruto, I only wish I could do more for you, you deserve all the happiness in the world for all the bad that has happened to you."
Naruto groaned as he awoke, cursing the evil monster that is the alarm clock. He sat up, scratching his now longer hair. The changes from first using Toshin's power had stayed with him ever since he'd used it. He sighed and began readying himself for another D-Rank mission. He slipped on his orange jumpsuit, grimacing at it. It was starting to get too short and he should probably buy something else. He'd refrained from buying clothes because if he did he wouldn't be able to afford all the ramen he ate. But now, with all the money he was making from missions he could probably afford some new clothes. He nodded resolutely, that's what he was going to do today.
He tied his long hair back into a ponytail, allowing the front to hang loose before forming a quick handseal. A shadow clone flickered into existence beside him. "You," he intructed it. "Go meet up with my team and do the mission that is assigned to you." The clone saluted before running out the door. Naruto walked out his door as well after grabbing his spear. He shut and locked the door before vaulting over the railing with his free hand to land easily on the street twenty feet below him. He walked along the streets for about half an hour before seeing a store that he like. Higurashi Weapons Shop.
Naruto walked in, whistling a small tune. There were display racks with shinobi clothes folded neatly along them. Various weapons were mounted on the wall but Naruto no longer needed one of those. He glance down at his spear, smiling. He was browsing through the clothes when a bun-haired girl walked out of a back room, where he could hear the sound of a forge. She wore a pink chinese style shirt with green pants along with black shinobi sandals.
She saw the boy looking through clothes. "Hi, I'm Higurashi Tenten, how can I help you?"
