HELLO!
Been awhile huh? So before anything happens, this is the longest Chapter I believe that I have written. Before my AN's, this story is 10.5k words.
Now, I want you guys to read right away but do have a few things to address. So if you don't have any problems with the story or don't care, skip to the past the next parts to the story.
So, if you are going to complain that, "oh that character wasn't that strong in canon" or "that isn't how they acted in canon, they would never do or say that" then leave this story now. Some characters will receive buffs and others will act differently. Also, if you complain about bashing now, it is your own fault as I have mentioned it last chapter and many reviews have pointed it out.
Listen, this is fanfiction and which also happens to be a crossover. Canon was thrown out the window when you clicked on a crossover story. I am not Kishimoto or Toriyama and they are not writing this story, I am. I am using characters based off of their work and making a story that I like and many other seem to enjoy also.
"All I write is mass harem stories that result in lemons." Just paraphrasing here but have you read my other stories? They aren't massive. Big for some stories yes but not 40 people as some as for the lemons, I've written 2 of them in all the stories/chapters I've written and 1 of them was removed so yeah, I'm such a smut writer.
Not sure what to call them but issues or concerns is what comes to mind. The main was that Black wasn't dark and killed people like Naruto did/does. This is true because Naruto is NOT Black. As an apprentice, Naruto is suppose to take all Black's teachings and views as his own. Yeah, because Zamasu, which is also Black, took Gowasu's teachings so WELL! In fact they were so good that he killed Gowasu! Gowasu told Zamasu he was to protect but Zamasu decided to eradicate an entire race. So yeah, as an apprentice, Naruto is suppose to be EXACTLY like Black.
Not like he has Kurama and other people teaching him too. If he didn't, he would be more inclined to follow Black mindlessly but he has people who care for him and that he cares for too.
Well that's over.
Everything I said above was stuff that I researched and learned from rewatching the episodes in which all this transpired. So if I am wrong, let me know and I'll own up to it and apologize, if not then I guess either enjoy the way I'm writing the story or don't.
Anyways, sorry if I sound like an ass but things needed to be cleared up and I didn't mean to sound like one besides a sentence or two.
Well, without any further delays,
Chapter 3
"Nice to meet you, Fuu." Naruto said with a smile as he stretched out his hand to her.
Fuu just eyed his hand but didn't make a motion to return the gesture.
"What do you want?" She practically spat out.
Naruto just pulled his hand back to his side but his smile turned from one of happiness to a sad one.
"That was just a kind gesture to a fellow jinchuuriki. I wanted to know how your life had been up till now." He answered. "But by your reaction alone, I can tell you didn't have a great one."
"Yeah, well what was your first clue? I was meant to have a hard life. 'Human Sacrifice,' right?" She turned around so he couldn't see her tears fall. "What would you know anyways? I bet you were treated like a normal human being from those tree huggers anyway."
"Yes I was treated like a normal human being with those 'tree huggers.'" Fuu clenched her fists at his words. She was gonna turn and yell at him but he spoke again.
"Being starved while living in an orphanage for the first three years of my life was normal. And then being kicked out at age four and living on the streets for a week before an anbu found me starving to death in an alleyway is the way four year olds usual go through right?"
Fuu covered her mouth with her hands. She had it bad but he sounded as if he could have died at any moment.
"Being yelled at and chased away from stores for being a 'demon' or being overpriced for rotten food. And let's not forget about the Academy purposely giving me low test scores when I entered hoping I would fail and never graduate. A normal life, right?"
Naruto looked at her and saw she was openly sobbing.
"I'm so sorry!" Fuu said between sobs. "I didn't know! I thought I had it bad with the name calling and being forced to live away from the village but you had it worse than me."
She turned around to face him.
"I'm sor-"
She got cut off as Naruto pulled her into a comforting hug. She weeped harder into his chest as he rubbed her back.
"I didn't say all those things about me to sounds like a jerk. I said it to show you that it doesn't matter if a jinchuuriki comes from the 'nicest' village, we are all treated the same. We are seen as nothing but 'demons' as the civilians and nothing but weapons to most Kage."
He didn't tell her about the beating when he was seven or the black eye that one villager gave him, but she didn't need to know that.
"We have hard lives. I've even heard that the jinchuuriki of the one tails is a psychopathic killer. Which his own father did to him. What type of father does that to their child?" Naruto informed her.
They stayed silent, the only sound was the small waves of the lake and the sniffles from Fuu. Naruto rubbed her back reassuring her that everything was fine.
"Why don't you tell me about yourself and I'll tell you about myself." Naruto told her, "That is what friends do, right?"
Her eyes widened at that.
Friends?!
She looked up and saw him giving her the kindest smile she has ever seen.
Sure, Shibuki was nice and helped her out, but he was more of a brother figure than a friend.
Her first friend!
She nodded her head rapidly into his chest.
Naruto went to unwrap his arms from her body but Fuu quickly wrapped hers around his frame.
He gave her a puzzled look while she had a blush on her cheeks.
"Can we stay like this? I mean, friends do hug after all, right?" She buried her cheery red face into his chest to hide her embarrassment.
Naruto just chuckled and wrapped his arms around her again.
"Sure. We can stay like this."
They then began to share stories of their personal lives with each other. Both good and bad.
Naruto learned a lot about Fuu.
Her likes and dislikes.
How she liked eating healthier foods such as fruit and vegetables. Sure she ate meat on occasion and was no way worried about her figure, but she generally enjoyed the tastes of fruits. She also enjoyed swimming in her free time and even enjoyed flying around.
Something he learned when she told him that Chomei, the seven tails, gave her wings and she had the ability to fly.
He was quite jealous and planned to have a nice chat with Kurama later about any special traits like that.
He also learned that she hated perfume and cologne. Considering she was holding a bug and they literally had bug spray, she didn't like anything that could be sprayed. She liked the natural scent of things and didn't like artificial smells. She also hated arrogant people who believed they were better than others and ninja who believed that just because they were a high rank that anyone below them was weak.
Such as the Jonin who believed they were stronger than the genin they meet.
There were numerous Genin that could take down Jonin. Itachi came to mind. He was barely in the academy due to skipping years ahead and spent less time as a genin before he was inducted into Anbu at the age of ten. He then became an Anbu Captain of his own squad at age thirteen. Shortly after all this, he murdered all of his clan besides Sasuke. Someone so skilled at that age was scary beyond all doubt.
And Naruto couldn't wait until he had the chance to fight him! The thought just got the blood flowing through his veins! It was exhilarating!
And throughout the whole ordeal, the more she talked and shared, she became more boisterous and excited. He smiled at her showing her true self. She wore a genuine smile on her face while they talked.
"So this is where you were, Naruto."
Naruto was broken from his thoughts when he heard a voice behind him. He turned his head to be greeted with the familiar sight of Yugao. Fuu also decided to take a peek over Naruto's shoulder and saw a beautiful woman with purple hair and a body Kunoichi's would die for.
She then blushed and separated herself when she saw the woman's teasing smile.
"Hey Yugao. I was just with my friend, Fuu." Naruto turned to Fuu. "Fuu, this is my sensei and mother." Yugao groaned when he said that last bit.
"Mother!" Fuu yelled. "But you don't look like your a day over twenty!"
Yugao blushed at that. She was actually twenty-two.
"I'm not his mother. If anything, I'm like his older sister. Yugao Uzuki." Yugao responded.
"Nice to meet you Yugao. I'm Fuu." Fuu introduced herself. Yugao gave her a kind smile before it turned into a devious grin.
She rarely had times to tease Naruto and she was going to take any advantage she could.
Something Naruto noticed as he narrowed his eyes at her, wondering what she was up to.
"Amazing Naruto. Your first mission outside of the village and you already picked up another girlfriend!" Fuu blushed but then gasped.
'He already has a girlfriend?!' Fuu thought a bit downtrodden. Even if they only knew each other for a few hours, she could honestly say that she had some type of feelings for the whiskered boy that went beyond that of friendship.
"I wonder what Anko would say about you cheating on her with a foreign Kunoichi. But, I can't say I'm disappointed with your choice. She certainly is stunning!"
Fuu's cheeks went atomic at that. Though her thoughts were down because he was already taken and she wouldn't be able to act on those feelings she had no matter how small they were.
"Though," She turned to Naruto and donned a look as if she was thinking though Naruto knew it was just for show. "Isn't she always talking about getting you to have other women? If I remember correctly, I believe she wanted you to have a harem so she can have 'playthings,' correct?"
Naruto just smacked his face while Fuu had an expression of shock, and a hint of hopefulness.
Something Yugao noticed and couldn't help but grin on the inside.
'This is going to be so much fun!' She thought at the teasing opportunities.
"Alright lover boy, let's head to the Inn Shibuki showed me. We're leaving tomorrow afternoon and I want to stock up on supplies in the morning." Yugao informed him.
"Hai." Naruto said as he turned to Fuu. "Goodnight Fuu." A small smile on his face.
Fuu just nodded her head with a small blush still on her cheeks.
Naruto turned to follow Yugao as she started walking to the village only for him to feel a small tug on his sleeve.
He turned to see Fuu holding his sleeve with her head down.
"Everything you said was true right?" She whispered in a shaky voice but Naruto was still able to hear her. "It wasn't a lie right? You won't leave me all alone again, will you?"
Naruto could hear it. The desperation and hope in her voice. The longing of a true friend, someone that wasn't just messing with her emotions only to abandon her
Naruto pulled her into a hug as he felt her stiffen.
"Of course." She panicked as she didn't know what part he was agreeing to. "What kind of friend would I be if I didn't see you in person and say goodbye?" He said with a grin that made her heart beat faster.
She just nodded her head, afraid her voice would fail her.
"See ya later than, Fuu!" Naruto said as he released her and chased after Yugao.
Fuu just clutched her hand above her heart. She didn't know what this feeling was, but she knew that Naruto was the cause of it. She knew she found him attractive and seen couples together and break up but this feeling was confusing her.
After all, how does one know what love is when you never experienced it.
Fuu just turned and made her way to her home that she and Shibuki had built. It was still inside the village but near one of the walls surrounding the village away from others.
She was never aware of her village leader watching her interaction with Naruto.
"You really care for that boy, don't you Fuu." Shibuki said as he walked out from behind the rock that was behind where the duo were standing moments before.
"I hope I can do something for you. I don't want you to lose your first friend." He muttered before he went to his own home, pondering on how he can make sure Fuu won't ever have to say goodbye to her new friend.
Next Day
Naruto and Fuu could be seen walking through the village together. Fuu with a wide smile on her face as she talked animatedly to Naruto, ignoring the looks of disgust and hateful glares from the villagers.
Naruto listened intently to everything she said and responded when he felt the need to. He had a small smile but also held a bit of a sneer as he looked at the villagers that were openly showing their hate towards Fuu, and by proxy himself for associating with the 'demon.'
Oh how Naruto wanted to obliterate them all just for their disgusting looks and the hatred rolling off of them. But he wouldn't for Fuu.
Fuu had told him that all the pain and suffering she endured, she didn't want them to suffer. She would never forgive them but she didn't want to sink to their level.
Naruto did not share her mind set. He believed the weak should know their place and when they stepped out of line, exterminated. Black had attempted to instill his mindset to end all mortals but Naruto saw it as a nuisance and a waste of energy. He wasn't lazy, he just didn't want to waste his time doing that unless provoked.
Okay, maybe he was a bit lazy.
But what Naruto wanted, which was mostly due to his Saiyan dna, was to find and fight strong opponents. He wasn't going to get a good fight from civilians who could easily be taken down by entry level Academy students.
Though Naruto was going off of the clan heirs since the civilian students were just as weak as their parents. They just didn't have the natural instinct and tough bodies clans had. Hell, even civilian clan members were enough to be a Genin and maybe even Chunin to some level.
But he wanted to find someone who could give him the fight of his life!
And from Black's stories and memories, he was just itching to fight Goku.
"So, what are you thinking about?" Fuu suddenly asked.
Naruto shook his head of his thoughts as he heard her question. He turned and looked at her.
"Nothing important. Just a thought I had of a certain someone that I can't wait to meet."
Fuu frowned at that. 'He's talking about his girlfriend no doubt.' Fuu thought.
She was jealous of his girlfriend. Though she couldn't figure out if it was because of how lucky she was to have someone as nice and caring as Naruto or because of this new feeling she had stirring on the inside.
"My blood just tingles at the thought of seeing him!" Naruto exclaimed not realizing the choice of words he spewed out.
Fuu had a look of shock on her face!
'I-is he gay?!' Fuu thought worriedly. Did he just claim to have a girlfriend as a cover up?
"I can't wait to fight him!" Naruto continued which Fuu sighed in relief.
She was fine with him being gay but her heart clenched at the thought of not having a chance of being with him.
"He was the strongest person my sensei ever faced and he is a man of unimaginable power that gave my sensei a great fight!"
Fuu looked at him curiously.
"You want to fight someone your sensei had a good fight against? I know she looks strong but do you think you can fight the guy who faced her?"
Naruto just turned to look at her and realized her confusion.
"Yeah, Yugao is my sensei but she isn't the only one I had. My other sensei was the strongest man I know and no doubt the strongest from our world." Naruto told her, with her not thinking about the way he said 'our world.' "He was a God after all."
Fuu looked at him strangely. It was pretty arrogant for someone to claim they were a God. Though, Naruto had proved he was trustworthy so she just chalked it up to him being an amazing shinobi.
"You also said 'was.' Did he pass away?" Fuu asked. Naruto looked a little sad at that. "I'm sorr-"
"It's fine." Naruto cut her off. "He did pass away a few years ago. He… expended to much energy and died of exhaustion." It wasn't a total lie considering Naruto's seal was draining Black's Ki over the years. "He was a good man who had a wild and outlandish dream."
Naruto could remember when Black told him his dream. Though, Black wasn't wrong in explaining his ideas, it just didn't bother Naruto as much.
"What was his dream?" Fuu asked.
"Peace."
That's what he told her. Though not wrong, he just left out the part of exterminating all mortal life to achieve it. He doubted Fuu would look at him the same if that was his sensei's goal.
"That is something few people want." Fuu muttered. "Did his ideals stick with you?" She asked him.
"No." Naruto said and he saw her frown a bit. "He wanted to achieve that peace through a unconventional means. I, for one, do not care about having the world live in peace. I only wish to have a peaceful life with my family." He told her. "Though, I don't intend to be anyone's punching bag because I want 'peace'." Naruto remembered the encounter the day of his graduation exam.
"The people who are born weak desire peace in the world so they no longer have to fight." Though Black wanted them erased because all they did was cause wars, rebuild and appoint new leaders only to start new wars. This would bring peace but no doubt not the way people wanted. "And I'm not saying they are physically weak but also mentally. They talk about forgiveness and turning the other way, but what if that person killed your family? Your parents for something so trivial or out of revenge?" His hands clenched at the masked man who killed his parents by releasing Kurama.
"Take Jiraiya of the Sannin for example. His ultimate goal is to achieve everlasting peace." Naruto told her.
"What about him? What's wrong with wanting peace?" Fuu thought Naruto was going to go all emo but he kept his cool.
"He wants to achieve this by forgiveness. But what no one knows besides a select few is that he is looking for his ex-teammate, Orochimaru." Fuu shivered at his name.
Orochimaru was a feared shinobi and the countless despicable acts were spread throughout the Elemental Nations.
"He wants to find Orochimaru and bring him back to the village and become friends once again. But, do you honestly think that will happen with all of the terrible things Orochimaru has done? The countless kidnapping and experimentations, the murders and deaths from said experiments? All from Konoha citizens and shinobi no less! He is a dangerous and sick man. He'd be lucky to get the death penalty without having any torture done to him." Naruto spat.
Naruto was mostly mad at the fact that Jiraiya would sooner go after and chase a murdering and unforgiving shinobi than take care of his own godson.
"Some people aren't worth saving." Fuu looked at the ground for a few moments before speaking.
"I, understand. You can't just let someone like that run free. The amount of pain and suffering those people's families went through. It would be a slap in the face if they saw the person who brought their family pain and suffering to walk around freely." Fuu said.
"What is your dream, Naruto? Your real dream." Naruto turned to her.
"My dream is to live in peace with my family without any nuisances bothering us," he said with sincerity but his saiyan side took over, "and to fight strong warriors! Living in constant peace would get boring for a person like me! I want to fight strong people and feel the rush of battle!" He boisterously yelled.
Fuu couldn't help but giggle at the fire in his eyes as he talked about fighting. She smiled. At least he just wanted to fight strong opponents who passed by instead of starting a war just because he was a warmonger.
Naruto coughed to get himself under control at the sounds of Fuu's giggling. He cursed his strong Uzumaki genes for making him get over excited. He learned through Kurama that Uzumaki's get excited easily over something they are passionate about.
Don't get him wrong, he loved his parents for their selfless sacrifice. Even Black praised them for giving their lives to save their children's lives, Black did see some mortals as more than a stain under his boot. Naruto just wished the Uzumaki's were a more level headed bunch.
He sighed. It could have been worse. He could have got his mom's verbal tic.
He winced as if he was just smacked in the back of the head. He turned around only to see no one around him.
He shook his head. Even in death, mothers were scary.
"Fuu," She turned to look at him. "What is your dream?" He asked her.
Her dream? She hadn't really thought about it. What did she want? What was her goal in life? She wished she wasn't a jinchuuriki but that would result in her death. She stood still as she thought about it.
She looked at Naruto and stared at him, making him slightly uncomfortable at her sudden gaze.
She stared at him for a few moments and that feeling in her chest grew even more intense. It felt as if it was hurting but not physically but emotionally. It was if it was yelling at her to tell Naruto something but she didn't know what.
She stared into his eyes and then she saw it.
She saw images of couples holding hands and kissing. Older couples walking with babies in their arms or children by their sides.
How she longed to have a family of her own. How she wished someone could see her as Fuu, a normal person and not a jinchuuriki, a demon and weapon.
Then those images were changed.
She saw the same couple holding hands and kissing and the couple walking with their families.
But she saw herself as the women in the images this time. She turned to look at the man in the image and he turned to her and smiled lovingly.
It was Naruto. Naruto was holding hands with her and walking with their kids. She saw the girl walking around had green hair with whisker marks on her cheeks. She then saw the baby Naruto was holding had black hair but her orange eyes.
She knew what she wanted now! She knew what she was feeling and what she wanted to say to Naruto now!
"My dream? What I want in life?" Naruto nodded to her.
"What I want in life is-"
BOOM!
An explosion went off and shook the entire village, disrupting Fuu's words.
They turned and saw that an explosion happened near the tree in the center of the village.
They saw villagers running from that area yelling about an attack and missing nin.
"Sorry Fuu, but we have to put that on hold." Fuu look saddened but understood the situation.
"Everyone!" Naruto yelled. "Get to your homes and hide! You'll be safe as long as you stay hidden!"
They ignored him as they kept running.
Naruto clenched his hands. This is why he hated interacting with humans. They never listened. He tried things Yugao's way, and now he was gonna do things his way.
Leave them be. If they died, it's on their hands, not his.
"Let's go Fuu. If they don't want to listen, we can't help them." She nodded and they began their approach to the explosion.
They went around the backside of the massive tree and climbed up it.
They looked at the side where the explosion was and saw there were about twenty or so missing nin.
He then heard Fuu gasp.
He turned and saw her pointing to one of the missing nin. He was standing with his back to them so he couldn't see the ninja's face.
Around him were thirty or so villagers tied and bound. From kids to the elderly.
"That's Suien! He was one of the best Jonin in the village before he went missing!" Fuu whisper yelled. "He just disappeared in the middle of the night and was marked a missing nin."
Naruto looked back down and saw he was holding a bottle of water.
"Why is he holding a bottle of water in the middle of this? I understand if your parched but holding it during an invasion seems dumb if you ask me." Naruto voiced.
"Oh no." Naruto turned to Fuu. "That's the Hero Water!"
"Hero Water?" Fuu nodded at his question.
"The Hero Water grants whoever drinks it, ten times the amount of chakra they have and makes it more potent!" Fuu explained.
"That's a bit much don't you think?" Naruto sweatdropped.
Fuu nodded her head.
"It is but also comes at a price. The person who drinks it also loses their life by how many times their chakra is increased. So one sip could increase your chakra by ten times but make you lose ten years off your life." Fuu explained. "That is how Shibuki's father, the former leader of the village, lost his life. He consumed too much Hero Water to protect the village. He saved it but lost his life due to the effects of the water. The power boost doesn't last long but the side effects are immediate."
'Naruto.' Kurama spoke inside his mind.
'What now furball?! Do you know it's been two days since I tried talking to you?!' Naruto yelled.
'Shut it! I was thinking about something that felt familiar!' Kurama shouted back. 'And I was right! After listening to your little girlfriends explanation, this "Hero Water" is as I feared along with this tree.' Kurama told him.
'How so?' That perked Naruto's interest as he looked around at the tree. Kurama sounded slightly worried. Anything that worried him was bound to be bad.
'You remember the story I told you of how chakra came to be.' Naruto nodded. 'Than you remember the Shinju tree correct?'
A look of realization appeared on Naruto's face.
'You mean-!'
'I believe so. Though, this tree was probably made from one of the branches that Kaguya must not have absorbed. But that water is similar to a case that happened before in a small town centuries ago. They were a strong fighting village though they rarely lived past the age of twenty. It was found that they had a Shinju branch beneath them that was giving them chakra laced water into their water supply that boosted their chakra at the cost of their life force.'
Naruto frowned.
That was bad. Power from the tree that created the ten tails was not good to be in the hands of a power hungry idiot.
Yugao landed next to them and they acknowledged each other.
Yugao went to say something but saw the look Naruto had. The look where he is talking to his 'pet' as she put it to tease the mighty beast.
'Though, this tree isn't as potent as that branch centuries ago. This one seems to be feeding the environment instead of draining it and the living beings around here.' Kurama continued. 'I guess just as we are able to think differently than the ten tails, the shinju branch was able to make it's own choice. But that Hero Water is still dangerous if it was produced by this tree regardless of its intentions.'
'How do we stop him if he drinks it? I think we would be able to take him if it was just him against us?' Naruto asked. 'But there are at least twenty missing nin all chunin or jonin that I've seen in the bingo book.
'Nothing you can do but try to prevent him from drinking it. If he does, you may have to go all out against him. He was an A-rank nin. With that water, he will easily best you and Yugao if you risk holding back.'
Naruto nodded and thought for a moment. Slowly, he grinned as he realized what Fuu had explained about the Hero Water. He looked at the two women beside him.
"What did he say?' Yugao questioned.
"Remember when I told you there was a story behind how chakra came to be?" Naruto told her and she nodded.
He just told her, and the other select few from their group, about how chakra wasn't always with humans. That there was another force for the cause of chakra being embedded into humans.
"Well, this tree and that water are all part of something called the Shinju tree. The Shinju is responsible for chakra and the tailed beasts were created from the Shinju." Naruto gave them the short version of it.
Yugao looked a bit shocked while Fuu held her head as Chomei yelled inside the seal.
"What's the matter Fuu?" Yugao asked the tanned skinned girl.
"Chomei is freaking out! He keeps saying 'Shinju' and 'Kaguya.'" Fuu said as she clutched her head.
'He probably couldn't sense it since her seal is mostly still intact unlike how you've been slowly breaking yours.' Kurama informed Naruto.
Naruto moved to her and cupped her face. Fuu stopped her squirming as Naruto put a hand on her shoulder and stared into her eyes.
"Fuu, listen to me. Everything is okay. Chomei is freaking out about something that caused destruction a long time ago." Naruto said. "I need you to calm down and to calm Chomei also. We need you two to work together so we can stop these people. Just calm down okay."
Fuu nodded and took a deep breath. She then closed her eyes and was silent for a few moments.
She then opened them with a look of determination in her eyes.
"Chomei and I are ready to go!" Naruto nodded and looked back to Yugao.
"What's the plan sensei?"
Yugao was silent for a few seconds before she came up with a plan.
"You and Fuu will be in charge of taking on the other missing nin. Naruto, make as many clones as you can and have them grab the captured villagers and get them to safety. I'll take on Suien and try to stop him from taking the water." They nodded and got ready to make their move.
"Oh, and Naruto," he looked back to his sensei. "Once the villagers are safe, let loose."
Naruto got a sadistic grin at Yugao's order.
This was going to be fun!
With Suien
"Come on out Shibuki!" Suien yelled as he stood before his prisoners. "Stop being a coward and accept your death like a man!"
The prisoners looked on in fear as Suien marched over towards them.
He saw a young boy no older than eight. He grabbed him by his hair and dragged him in the middle of the crowd.
"Show yourself or are you that big of a coward that you'll let this young boy die?!" Suien yelled as he held a kunai to the boy's throat.
The boy didn't dare to swallow in fear of cutting his throat.
"Your father must be turning in his grave right now! He gave his life to protect this village and look at you! Hiding like the coward you are while this little boy is begging for you to save his life!"
He pulled the kunai back and motioned towards the rest of the captives.
"When I'm done with this boy, those will be next! And after that, this village will burn to the ground!"
Suien switched his grip on the kunai and brought it to strike the boy between his eyes.
CLANG!
Another kunai came flying and knocked the one in Suien's hand away.
Before he could register what happened, another came towards him but cut the boy's hair just below where Suien was gripping him.
The boy, taking advantage of the confusion, scrambled away from Suien and made his way back to the other captives.
"The only coward I see is you!"
Suien turned to see a group of three people standing on the other side of him. The first was a fairly tall woman with long purple hair tied in a pony tail.
The next was none other than Waterfall's resident Jinchuuriki.
The last was bit surprising but he smirked.
"Well, what a great honor this is!" Suien gloated. "The son of none other than the Fourth Hokage!"
Naruto and Yugao narrowed their eyes while Fuu had a look of surprise.
Naruto never told her he was the son of the fastest shinobi in history!
"To think I would face the son of one of the most feared shinobi in history!" Suien smirked. "Though, with your brother being trained by two Sannin while you were left behind, I can only hope you won't end up as a smear on my shoes! If this was your brother, I would be itching to fight him!"
Fuu looked over at Naruto.
"How come-"
"He didn't tell you he was the son of the Fourth Hokage or that he had a brother?" Suien cut her off. Fuu looked back at Suien.
"That's easy! He was seen as worthless to his godparents which happened to be the two loyal Sannin! They left him behind in that village full of tree huggers to train his brother who holds the power of the nine tails!"
Naruto was starting to be wary of the Leaf's security now. This was important information that he was spewing out.
"He must be embarrassed to say any of this so he chose to hide it from you."
"How do-"
"I know this information?" Suien cut off Yugao who tried to speak. "Your village tends to have loose lips about the people they hate. The 'Will of Fire' and trustworthiness that you preach is nothing but a farce. All it took was a shinobi from Kumo to go undercover as a civilian in your village before they talked about the 'demon brat' that was Naruto here." Suien said.
Though none of them knew a certain warmonger let the Kumo spy in the village.
"Now, let's get this over with!" Suien went to drink from the Hero Water but had to stop as a kunai stopped him.
When he looked up, he had to jump back from a katana swipe courtesy of Yugao.
Then all hell broke loose.
The other missing nin charged in at Naruto and Fuu as Suien and Yugao seemed to be pushing each other out of the area.
Naruto created about thirty clones, half went to the prisoners while the other half went to fight most of the missing nin.
Naruto turned to Fuu.
"Don't hold back! If you hesitate to kill, you will die!" Naruto yelled. "They don't care for others lives so don't try to spare them!"
Fuu nodded but her eyes widened in horror as she saw a nin with the symbol for Kumo crossed out appear behind Naruto with a tanto raised to behead him.
In less than a second, Naruto dropped to a crouch, brought his hand back and made a small blue, spinning ball of pure chakra that Fuu had only seen in pictures.
"Rasengan!" Naruto slammed the Rasengan into the nins gut, stopping his forward slash. No damage was shown besides the man's shirt tearing around his stomach, but Fuu knew more was going on judging by the blood streaming out the man's mouth.
Then the man was sent flying back as the rasengan bursted and propelled him into the wall. He then fall to the ground unmoving.
Dead.
"Don't hesitate!" Naruto yelled before he jumped into a fight where two more missing nins were fighting one of his shadow clones.
With Yugao and Suien
"Your extremely good!" Suien said as he parried Yugao's katana with his water sword.
Yugao just kept her posure and kept attacking him head on and was pushing him back. Suien was starting to sweat.
He was no chump considering he was intrusted to teach Suien and multiple other ninja and had amazing chakra control. But that didn't compare to an ex-anbu captain that was an S-Rank in the bingo books.
He was being pushed back and was close to being sliced by Yugao's blade. He needed to get away and drink the Hero Water.
On her latest swing, she pulled back a bit too much and that allowed Suien to create a water wall without handsigns which shocked Yugao.
That allowed enough time to allow Suien to jump back great distance and take out the Hero Water.
"It was a great fight," Suien said as he took the top off of the bottle. "Too bad you die here today!"
Suien then brought the Hero Water to his mouth and took a big swig of it.
The moment he stopped drinking, a shroud of chakra started to surround him. The aura it was the most potent Yugao has sensed coming from a non-jinchuuriki. She instantly felt his reserves increase to what she could compare to a lower tailed beasts chakra level.
With Naruto and Fuu Moments Earlier
Naruto and Fuu were effectively taking out the other shinobi but it would have gone faster if Naruto didn't have to worry about the kunoichi holding the same boy from earlier hostage.
"What now kids!" The women taunted as she held a kunai against the boy's throat. "You can't fight me without risking this boy's life so you might as well give up! Being a ninja isn't meant for children like you!"
They couldn't help but sweatdrop at her.
"Weren't you our age when you became a Genin?" Fuu asked.
The women stopped laughing as she was made fun of. Her face flushed in embarrassment.
"That's not the point! You still have no cha-" She never finished as a chop to the back of the neck knocked her out.
"Glad to see you come out of your shell, Shibuki." Naruto said to Shibuki as he helped the boy up and pushed him towards the village where the rest of the villagers were safely hiding.
"Yes. I came to realize that as this village's leader, I have to protect all of it's people, no matter the cost." Shibuki said as he turned to the pair. "And great job Fuu. You have came a long way since the academy." He smiled at her as she blushed at the praise.
The moment was cut short as ten more rogue nin appeared before them.
Then they felt it. The pressure that was coming from Suien. They saw the chakra surrounding him and felt the power radiating off of him.
'Naruto!'
'I KNOW!' Naruto responded. He felt that chakra. It felt like tailed beast was near by. He turned to Shibuki and Fuu.
"Shibuki, Fuu! Can you guys handle these guys! Yugao needs my help!" They nodded and Naruto took off.
Shibuki and Fuu turned their attention back to the missing nin.
They nodded at each other and charged in.
Shibuki summoned his Water-Cutting Sword while Fuu summoned her wings.
Back with Yugao and Suien
Suien smirked as he felt his power increase drastically. He clenched and unclenched his hand as he was taking in all this newfound power.
He then turned to Yugao.
"With this power, I'm unstoppable!" Suien cackled. "And you will be my first victim of this newfound power!"
Suien summoned another Water-Cutting Sword and vanished before Yugao's eyes.
'He's faster than before!' Yugao thought before she saw Suien appear before her, ready to slash her. Yugao brought her sword up to block but wasn't fast enough as he cut her from her shoulder to the top of her navel.
Yugao jumped back and fell to one knee.
"Time to die!" Suien yelled.
He jumped towards Yugao and she closed her eyes, awaiting her death.
There was nothing she could do. The wound was too deep and she could barely keep up with him now.
She never felt the blow though.
She opened her eyes and saw Naruto standing in front of her.
He stood, blocking Suien's water blade with his black Ki Blade.
"Why the long face, sensei? This chump giving your trouble?" Naruto asked in a tone that annoyed her. She knew that he used it all the time to make her annoyed.
Suien, however wasn't annoyed or laughing.
He was angry!
"How can you stop me?! I drank the Hero Water! No one should be able to stand against me!" He barked.
Naruto dropped back to his smug look as he stared at Suien, slowly pushing him back as he overpowered him with his Ki Blade.
"You know, I thought you were gonna be a force to reckon with considering how you were hyping up the Hero Water but all I see is man who just got a chakra boost!" Naruto taunted. "You know what," Naruto jumped away from Suien and dispersed his Ki Blade.
"I'm gonna let you drink as much as you want. You claim this will make you powerful and I have yet to see it. Maybe if you drink more than I won't be bored." Naruto waved his hand dismissively.
Suien just glared and growled at him.
How dare this upstart Genin make fun of him! He was the best Jonin in this village for Kami's sake!
"Fine!" Suien barked. "You want a fight?! Then you'll get one!"
Suien took the bottle out of his pouch. He removed the cork and brought it to his lips.
He smirked as he downed what was left of the water.
An explosion of chakra surrounded him blowing away the dirt and grass around them and caused some bugs and animals that weren't prepared to be blown back.
"This power is unreal! No one can stand in my way!" Suien yelled.
Naruto couldn't help but be amazed at the amount of chakra he now had. From what felt to low tailed beast levels of chakra, he now had mid to high level tailed beast chakra.
Before Naruto could say something, he found a fist buried in his gut. He looked up and spit as as he saw Suien smirking down at him.
Naruto was then launched back and collided with the massive tree behind him. The force was so much that he was embedded to the tree.
"Do you see now boy! You are no match for me!" Suuen yelled before he disappeared again and appeared before Naruto.
He grabbed him by his hair and extracted him from the tree only to bury his knee into the young half Saiyan.
Naruto coughed again before he was thrown across the floor and tumbled near the edge of the lake.
Suien walked over to the down boy with a menacing glare on his face.
He reached Naruto and lifted his foot above his head.
Naruto went to get on his hands and knees only to be met with a foot to the back of his head, sending him face first to the ground.
Suien proceeded to stomp on his head repeatedly laughing the whole way.
"Seems like you take being hard headed to a new level since it isn't mush right now!" Suien cackled.
As he was stomping he was stopped as kunai and shuriken were thrown at him.
He would have done something if his chakra didn't act as a shield and blocked them from hitting him.
Suien turned and saw Shibuki and Fuu glaring at him. Fuu's hand was outstretched showing she threw the weapons at him.
He looked around and saw his group of ninja laying around, some seemed unconscious while some were a bloody mess. Judging by the blood on both of them, they both killed his entourage.
"I didn't think you two had it in you to take another man's life." Suien taunted. "Shibuki, the most cowardly shinobi to walk the Elemental Nations and Fuu, a jinchuuriki that would want to preserve life considering the way she was treated her entire life."
The pair just panted in exhaustion.
"They realized that in order to live, you have to kill those that wish to harm you and those that you care for." Came a new voice.
Suien looked to the side and saw Yugao lifting herself up off the ground, using her sword to push herself up.
She then walked over to Fuu and Shibuki while holding where he slashed her.
He noticed she had bandaged as best she could but it still looked sloppy considered she was doing it herself.
"You will all risk your lives for this boy?!" Suien laughed as he slammed his foot back down on Naruto's head.
"I can understand the Leaf kunoichi but you two also?!" Suien said looking at Shibuki and Fuu.
When he saw they didn't falter he growled.
"You are all fools! This is why it is so easy to take advantage of people! If you hold someone hostage, people will hesitate to do something!" Suien angrily yelled.
He then turned and kicked Naruto hard in his side, sending him flying to the middle of the lake.
His body skipped a few times across the water before he sank below the surface.
Suien smirked at his work before he turned back to the trio.
"Now, if you wish to die, come at me!"
Before anyone moved, someone else shouted.
"Hey asshole!"
Suien turned back to the water to see Naruto crawling out of the water.
It looked as if he was climbing on top of the edge of a cliff but was on water.
When he pulled his entire body out, he stood up to his full height.
Besides a few scratches, his ripped clothing, and the fact it looked as if he was just punched in the mouth that caused him to bleed a miniscule amount, he was perfectly fine.
"Your fight is with me!" Naruto yelled as he wiped the small amount of blood off his face. "I'll admit, that did hurt a little bit. I definitely felt it but you seriously need to work on your strength. It felt as if you were tickling me." He chuckled dryly.
Suien had it with this boy! He was done being belittled by a Genin!
Suien took off towards Naruto, summoning his Water Cutting Blade, ready to strike him.
'Kit.'
'Yeah yeah, I know.'
Just as Suien was mere inches away with the biggest grin on his face, he saw Naruto flex.
The moment Naruto flexed, he was thrown back by a vast amount of power that exploded from the boy.
Suien landed on the water yards away from Naruto. When he looked at him, he couldn't help but be astonished at what he saw.
Gone was the the black haired, blue eyed boy.
What stood before him was a boy with spiky yellow hair that stood straight up with seafoam green eyes. A yellow aura surrounding him and what sounded like lighting in said aura.
Suien only knew it was Naruto since he still had his whisker marks albeit a bit darkened than they were before.
"What happened to Naruto?!" Fuu questioned. She didn't know Naruto could change his hair like that!
"He has become what is known as a 'Super Saiyan.'" Looking at the confused looks, she began to explain. "Something happened during the sealing of the nine tails and… something else was sealed in Naruto that night. He now is part of an ancient race that is almost extinct according to his knowledge."
They both stared at Naruto in awe.
Suien overheard her explanation but just thought she was spouting words.
"So what?! So you dyed your hair and put in some colored contacts!" He foolishly yelled. "You didn't get any stronger! I still have way more chakra!"
Naruto smirked. Technically true considering they couldn't sense his Ki.
But he didn't need to know that.
"Then why don't you come and test me then?" Naruto taunted. His voice sounding much deeper and held a bit of maliciousness to it.
Suien yelled as he charged at the blond!
Naruto saw Suien rush at him like he saw him before.
In slow motion.
He only let Suien connect those times before because he wanted to test his strength. Much like how Goku and Black fought.
No matter how many times he denied it, Kurama would never stop calling them masochists.
Just as Suien was about to strike Naruto, he moved out of the way of his fist with ease shocking the Jonin.
He the felt excruciating pain from his gut.
Just how he had his fist buried in Naruto earlier, Naruto returned the favor.
Though instead of spit coming out of his mouth, a glob of blood escaped his mouth.
He then crumbled but was prevented from plunging into the water as Naruto caught him by his hair.
"Well, looks like your little power boost is over." Naruto said
Suien had no idea what he was talking about until he felt extremely weak.
He looked at his hands and saw his skin becoming wrinkled.
"I will admit," Naruto started, "that first punch did hurt quite a bit and if you you remained that strong, I would have been very challenged fighting you. Though, you started to lose your power quickly and now you seem to be losing your life force. I just didn't think you would age too."
What he said was true. Suien's skin started to wrinkle and his hair became white as his teeth started to fall out.
When it was over, Suien looked nothing more than an eighty year old man.
"Now, the sane person would let you go since you can barely walk." Suien looked hopeful.
That was crushed when Naruto had the most sadistic grin he could muster.
"But I'm not sane in the slightest!"
Suien had no chance to do anything as he was flung into the air.
"Ka Me!"
Suien looked back towards the grounds.
"Ha Me!"
He saw Naruto cup his hands together and some sort of energy was forming between his hands.
Be it his now old age or something else but he could not sense chakra from the energy Naruto was forming.
But he did know it wasn't gonna feel nice.
"HAAAAAA!"
Naruto thrust his hands towards the airborne Suien, launching his Kamehameha at him.
The moment it touched Suien, an explosion that the residents of Waterfall never felt before erupted.
There was no trace of Suien and there never would be.
Naruto descended from his Super Saiyan form and regained his black locks and blue eyes. He made his way over to the trio, two of which stared at him wide eyed.
"What?" Naruto asked.
Next Day
After explaining that the powers he showed yesterday was from his race, Naruto, Yugao, Shibuki, and Fuu all stood outside of the village.
They stayed just so Yugao could get patched up and recover from her injuries.
"Thank you again, for everything!" Shibuki said as he shook Yugao's hand.
"No problem. Our mission was to protect you until we left the village." Yugao responded.
They both turned to the two teens who were saying their goodbyes.
"So, you know how you asked me what my dreams for the future were?" Fuu said as she looked at the ground.
Naruto quirked an eyebrow at her. He figured she had something but didn't want to share as there was plenty of time to talk about it yesterday.
"Yeah. So what is your dream Fuu?" Naruto asked.
"..."
"What was that?"
"I…"
"What?"
Naruto leaned closer hoping to hear what she was trying to say.
His eyes went as wide as saucers when Fuu lunged forward and kissed him on the lips.
The two adults were shocked at this as much as Naruto was.
He soon got over his shock and kissed back, albeit only for a few seconds as she pulled back.
"My dream is that I want to be with you. I want to spend my life with you regardless of your girlfriend. If what Yugao said was true, then she wouldn't mind. I want to have a family with you."
Naruto stayed silent the entire time not knowing what to say.
"But I know we can never be together since we are from different villages. So I kissed you. I needed some type of closure knowing that we would maybe never see each other again. I'm sorry if I invaded your space and if you don't feel the same and hate me. But I needed to do that for myself." Fuu said as tears started to fall as she looked down.
She felt a hand on her chin pick her head up. She felt Naruto's hands wipe away her tears.
"Fuu, I'm not mad. I'm flattered that you feel that way about me. And to be honest, I have feelings for you too. And maybe if we weren't from different villages, we could find out where this would take us."
They stared at one another as Naruto still held her face.
"Uhh." Their moment was ruined when they heard Shibuki.
They turned to the village leader and saw him looking a bit guilty.
"I forgot to tell you Fuu. I actually decided that if you wanted to, you could leave with them to the Leaf if that is what you desired." Shibuki awkwardly chuckled.
Yugao was struggling to not burst into laughter at the atomic blush and stuttering the dark skinned jinchuuriki was going through. Naruto for his part was chuckling a bit while shaking his head.
"I just saw how much Naruto made you happy and didn't want you to lose your first real friend." Shibuki explained.
Fuu seemed to calm down a bit. She then turned to Naruto and Yugao.
"Would I be accepted in your village? Would I be ostracized like here?"
Naruto and Yugao looked at each other and just shrugged.
"Hard to say.' Naruto spoke. "They don't talk to me and leave me alone mostly because I fight back. Though since the knowledge of my parents came to light, a few of them have been trying to treat me like royalty but I don't care."
"Also, Naruto has people who care for him, including me. And once they know you are friends with Naruto, no doubt they care for you too." Yugao said as she walked to Fuu. She leaned down to whisper in her ear. "And once Naruto's girlfriend, Anko, finds out about your little kiss here, she will be dying to meet you."
Fuu didn't know whether to be scared or… yeah scared was right. From what Naruto had told her, Anko was a bit sadistic and wanted playthings.
"Y-you won't tell her, will you?"
Yugao smirked but just shrugged at her as she walked away.
"So Fuu, what are you gonna do?" Shibuki asked as he put an arm on her shoulder. "Just know, as your older brother, I want you to be happy and will support whatever you pick."
Fuu looked at Shibuki. She had always saw him as an older brother and now that he said she couldn't help but cry in happiness.
They hugged while the Leaf nin watched their little moment of happiness.
After a few moments of hugging, they separated.
"I want to go with them. I love you like a brother, Shibuki but my heart want to go where it belongs." Fuu said as she glanced back at Naruto.
Shibuki just nodded his head at her.
"Then I will support your decision. I just want you to be happy, so go where you feel is right."
She nodded and went back through the underground passage to grab her important things from her home.
Minutes later she emerged from the water surrounding the waterfall.
She gave Shibuki a quick hug and stood by Naruto and Yugao.
"Thank you once again!" He shouted as he watched the trio walk away into the forest before he retreated back to the village.
After they were a good distance away Naruto shouted.
"Alright! We are not going all the way there on foot!" He yelled.
Yugao shook her head as she walked up to Naruto and she put a hand on his shoulder.
"How else are we gonna get there? Fly?" Fuu questioned. Sure she could fly but that was a special case.
"Huh? Oh no. Maybe another time when I feel like flying." He said dismissively which Fuu looked at him weird.
He sounded as if he could fly.
"Now, if you could mirror my mother here- ow!" He exclaimed as Yugao swatted the back of his head. "Anyways, just put your hand on my shoulder and you'll see."
Fuu stared at him questionably but at the gesture of him and Yugao she complied.
"So, now what?" She asked as she touched his shoulder.
"Now," Naruto said as he grinned. "You hope you didn't have a big breakfast!" He brought his index and middle finger to his forehead.
"Wha-AAHHHHHH!"
And just like that, they disappeared from the forest in the blink of an eye.
Hokage's Office
Hiruzen sighed as he read through the document that his secretary had found. Though he couldn't help but giggle perversely while cursing in his head to.
"Lucky brat." Hiruzen murmured as he put the paper down to rub his temples. He picked up his pipe and took a long drag. He needed to relax, if only for a short while.
"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED GRAMPS!"
Hiruzen jumped at someone yelling in his office that he dropped his pipe and it spilled the tobacco that it held.
"OW! What the heck sensei?" Naruto cursed as he rubbed the spot where Yugao swatted him.
"Don't yell at the Hokage let alone call him 'Gramps.'" She scolded.
"Yeah yeah." He muttered. "Anyways, Gramps!" He stepped forward avoiding another blow from Yugao. "We finished that mission and even brought a new resident to Konoha with us!"
Hiruzen sat up straight and stared at them. He pinched the bridge of his nose as he realized Naruto used what he called 'Instant Transmission' to appear in his office again.
He then looked over to said new resident but couldn't help but chuckle at the swirls in her eyes as she tried to orient herself. She came to once Yugao held her still.
"So it would seem." He spoke for the first time. "Now, who might you be?" He asked Fuu. He knew who she was, it was his job to know who were the current jinchuuriki if any of the other villages planned an attack.
Also, he didn't want to be rude so he let her introduce herself.
"My name is Fuu, Lord Hokage. I'm a Genin from the Village Hidden by a Waterfall. I am also like Naruto in which I hold seven." Fuu bowed as she finished introducing herself. She was nervous. She knew villages didn't take kindly to other jinchuuriki visiting their villages and she was hoping Hiruzen was as kind as Naruto described him.
Hiruzen just smiled warmly at her.
"Nice to meet you young Fuu. Now, why is it that you have decided to join my village?"
"Well, um, you see…" Fuu blushed up a storm as she looked at Naruto quickly.
Hiruzen, judging by the slight shaking of Yugao indicating she was hiding her giggling and Naruto rubbing the bridge of his nose as if knowing trouble was to come, he realized why she came to the village.
He smiled at her.
"Fear not. I have nothing against you and your decision." He said while inwardly he was saying, 'That damn brat! First Anko, then her, ann that paper! Curse him!'
"Now, would you like to give me a mission brief about what happened." He addressed Yugao who straightened herself and begin to tell what happened.
From the beginning to the very end, even the kiss Fuu and Naruto shared much to the mint haired girl's embarrassment.
Hiruzen nodded and thanked Yugao for her explanation.
"I'd say this went from a C-rank to a high A-Rank maybe S-Rank mission. I will sort the details out later but taking on twenty or so missing nin all B-Rank or higher in the bingo books with multiple being A-Rank Jonin, looks like it will be an S-Rank." He said much to the satisfaction of Naruto at the chance of getting paid an S-Rank mission.
"Now, I want to know about you Fuu." Fuu looked at her new leader. "What is it you wish to do? You were a Genin in Waterfall and could grant you that rank here but I want to know what your decision is."
Fuu looked at Naruto and Yugao. They just shrugged and gave her the go ahead to do what she wants.
"I want to be a civilian." Fuu said much to Hiruzen's surprise. "I… don't want to fight for my life day in and day out. I know me being a jinchuuriki is going to cause problems with that but I will train in my own time so I won't be a burden on anyone. I just want to live a normal life as much as I can." Fuu said. She didn't want to fight and kill people if her life didn't depend on it.
Hiruzen thought it over for a moment. He looked at her and knew that she lived a life much like Naruto. With people hating her very existence and being alone for nearly her whole life.
"Granted. I will allow you to be free of Ninja duties and live out the rest of your days as a civilian." Hiruzen said as Fuu smiled. "Though you do need a place of your own but for now, where will you be staying?"
"With us." Naruto spoke. "We have an extra bedroom since Anko and I share the same room so she can have the spare."
Hiruzen nodded at that.
"Great!" Naruto said. "Now, let's go get you settled in, Fuu."
Naruto made his way towards the door but Hiruzen's voice stopped him.
"Actually, there is a paper here that requires your attention." Hiruzen said as he grabbed the paper. "It actually concerns all of you with the current way things have transpired now."
That made them raise their eyebrows. All of them?
Yugao stepped forward and reached for the paper. Hiruzen handed it to her.
Yugao read it and that was the last straw.
She broke down and collapsed to the floor in laughter. If someone from Anbu was to see their former, stoic and serious, captain rolling on the ground laughing, they would have thought they were in a Genjutsu.
"What's so funny?" Naruto shouted over his sensei's laughter.
"Well, you see Naruto. Minato, your father and the Fourth Hokage, had a strained relationship with Rock Village and the Tsuchikage. Now Minato held no hate for them and Oonoki the same for us. They understood that death happens in war but their people held grudges." Hiruzen explained. "They wanted to get past this whole ordeal, so they came up with a solution that would bring the two villages together and end the hate their villages had against each other."
Naruto could feel a sense of dread coming. He heard that in way too many shows and books.
That would bring the two places together and end their grudges and hate.
"Your father and the Tsuchikage signed an arranged marriage contract. Between Minato's eldest child and the Tsuchikage's eldest grandchild."
Silence filled the room as Naruto and Fuu took in the information.
"WHAT?!"
And that was that!
So, there was some fighting but not much. This is really my first take at fighting so I'm not sure I did and would like to have any tips that could help improve. As I stated before, I'm a story driven writer, not so much an action writer so I would appreciate help, especially before the big arcs come up later in the story.
Now, you may be mad that Naruto let himself be knocked around a bit by Suien. If you have no idea why I did this then let me explain. Throughout the series, Goku and Vegeta have always held back and let their opponents power up as they enjoy the thrill of fighting strong opponents. Black also showed this when fighting against Goku and Vegeta. Black let himself get smacked around before he went Rosé.
As for Yugao, she could have stood ground with Suien and won once the effects of the Hero Water wore off but she was surprised by Suien's sudden power boost.
Not much else to explain that I know of though Jiraiya and Tsunade will appear next chapter again and confront Naruto.
And that's it.
I do have something special that I have started working on though! It is something many people have been asking about and I'm glad to say I have started on it! If you don't know what I'm talking about, guess you'll have to wait and see!
So, Till Next Time!
See Ya!
