Okie-dokie Number three comin up...
I know, I just re-posted the other chapters, but hey; I find myself interested in this story.
Anyway, I don't own Naruto... blah blah blah you get the picture.
And now to start the chapter...
(Konohagakure Ninja Academy)
It's been a few weeks and they were all called back to the academy for team assignments...
"Okay, class. Today we will be giving you your teams. Remember, you are not the only Graduating class so don't be surprised if some of you don't know your new teammates." This had a few people frowning, but hey, they pretty much expected this.
"Okay everyone ready then? Good... Okay..." So It went, Naruto Ignored the team forming, he already knows that he's going to be on a team from another class. He was at the Council meeting to finalize the each groups making. It was pretty smart, the major teams were just as well...
Team 7 would be Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and a girl from another class Rika Kinsen, a Smart girl from what he heard. That means Team 7 was a Tactics and Intelligence Team. They had an Ex-Anbu as their Sensei.
Team 8 was Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuga Hinata, and Shino Aburame. A Track and Carry Team. For some reason, it was decided that Yuuhi Kurinai, The Genjutsu Mistress.
Team 9 was still in circulation, or rather they haven't officially changed their team name, unofficially, that was Team Gai.
Team 10 was Yamanaka Ino, Akamich Chouji, and Nara Shikimaru. A Capture and Interrogate Team. They had Sarutobi Asuma, A Tactics and Assassination specialist.
Teams 11 and 12 were from another class and he didn't know them or their Senseis'.
"Team 13, Saibansho no Naruto, Inarei Hikaku, and Goran Matashitemo will be under the T&I division. So you should report there, Naruto. Go ahead."
"Wait, Sensei, Why are they under a whole division? Shouldn't the be under a sensei?" Sakura asked from a few seats down. Surprisingly it was Mizuki that answered.
"T&I is the Torture and Interrogation Division, when a team is chosen for a specialty field, like Assassination or Interrogation, it is because they went in and filled out some paperwork. If it decided that they may work well, they take a test at the Division Building that they wish to be a part of. Naruto did this two months ago, the other two on his team also did this at one point or were chosen based off of their skill. Sasuke, I heard you almost passed a test for the Hunter Division, just need to get a little faster. T&I and the Hunter Division are two of the hardest Divisions to get into, this is because you need mid to high chunin level skills. Naruto is High-Jounin in skill, so it's not a surprise that he got in. Heck the only thing he needs is to gain experience." The nod from Iruka at that last one made Naruto smile, happy that they aren't underestimating him. Sakura looked surprised, but didn't say anything after that. Standing up Naruto walked to the door but stopped when Mizuki called out to him.
"Yo Naruto. Thanks for the you-know-what, I did it last night. She said yes, you're invited. We'll let you know when we plan on starting."
Turning around Naruto smiling and says, "Congrats! I hope you two have fun!" and runs out the door only to stop seeing two people at the end of the hall heading outside.
"So, you ever heard of this guy?" A boy with short black hair, tanned skin, and strangely Pink eyes asked. He was really tall for his age and had a Gi and Hakama on with regular brown sandals. He looked kind of like a Samurai, but he had a white patch over his right eye. He wasn't tall, but he wasn't short either. He had a Gauntlet on his right arm and a Metal Bracer an the left. He had four swords on him, two across his back forming an X and one on each hip. His Hiate-ate over his forehead.
"Yes, he's the head of the new clan they announced at the beginning of the year. He's supposedly really strong, stealthy, and smart. All I know is that he trains in the Forest of Death for fun..." A girl with long dark red hair and light brown skin. Her eyes were strange to describe, the sclera of her eyes were not the usual white, but a pure black with blood red Iris'. She wore a grey Tunic and black Shinobi Pants, black Shinobi Sandals on her feet. She didn't seem to have any weapons of her. Her Hiate-ate was tied to her upper left arm.
"I just hope this Naruto guy's not a prick." The boy said with a frown.
"Well, I hope I'm not, cus then I'd have to kick my own ass!" Naruto said with a grin, standing a few feet away. They both jump a little and turn towards him. "Saibansho no Naruto at your service." He said with a smile.
"Inarei Hikaku. This is Goran Matashitemo" The girl said.
"Well the, Inarei-san, Goran-san. We should go see our new teachers, shouldn't we?" He said that with a wide smile on his face, his eyes close.
"We actually don't know where the T&I Building is. We were going to go to the tower and find out." the boy, Goran, said still frowning.
"Ah! Your in luck then. I know exactly where it is, one of my best friends works there, so come on!" With that he passes them by at a fast pace. the other two look at each other and then chase after him.
(T&I Building)
"Ah! Here we go!" Naruto exclaimed as he stopped next to said building.
"This building looks really old... Is this the T&I Building?" Goran asked still frowning.
"Why, yes it is! Isn't it beautifully decrepit? Ah, don't worry about any screams you hear; that's just the sound of our Nin getting vital information out of tight-lipped assholes." The blond said this as a scream pierced the air.
"That's was creepy Naruto-san." Inarei said.
"That was actual a valid warning. Heh, you will be hearing screams of people throughout the day. You may even get to see an interrogation." After that he walked into the building. They had no choice but to follow.
"Goge-san, hows work?" The blond boy said to a man standing inside the entrance.
"Meh, same as yesterday when you asked; Boring and stressful." The man was wearing Anbu gear, but no mask.
"Eh, still trying to get gate duty?"
"Yeah, those two bastards are lucky as hell that they have been able to get it all year..."
"Ha! Yeah, anyway gotta go see Anko-chan and Ibiki-manuke. (goof or blockhead)"
"Only you Naruto, only you." the man said, chuckling.
As they made it through the building he introduced them to some of the people there. The two were shocked at what he knew about the place.
"Ah, here we are, the Interrogation Cells... See that window? That's where they Interrogate people and it is currently occupied by the Head Interrogators Miterashi Anko and Morino Ibiki. Uhm, you may not want to look at the guy they're working on though..." a few seconds later the Purple hair woman noticed them and smirked. She said something to the Man and walks out of the room. As she opened the door they could hear a painful shriek piercing the air from the man they were 'working' on, they couldn't hear it after the door was closed though.
"Hey Gaki! I take it this is our newest recruits?" The Woman was smiling to Naruto as if there wasn't a man being horribly disfigured in the next room.
"Yup, these two are yours' and Ibikis' new chew toys. Could you try not to scar them physically?" Naruto said with an evil smiling, now if the two new students were nervous they didn't let it show.
"No promises, but your right, we don't want another Ibiki." She said laughing and the end.
"Now Anko, that's rude. You'll hurt my feelings if you continue making fun of me." This was said by the man as he stepped out of the door, there was no more screams from the room behind him.
"Oh come on. You know you have no feelings Ibiki!" The reply made the Man laugh for a second and then looked at Inarei and Goran.
"My name is Morino Ibiki, I am the Head of T&I and you two will be learning the ropes from me and Anko here. There are no missions below C-rank with this division, so we'll have to toughen you up before we let you work outside the building. The reason you two were chosen to work under us is because you both have the makings of great interrogators. Matashitemo-san, you showed your abilities when you captured, tortured, and Interrogated a group of Chunin from Mist because they assassinated your family. Hikaku-san, You showed your abilities when you were found, we still don't know how you were able to get that Jounin while he was asleep in a camp full of other jounin and keep him under while you set up that room, thanks for not killing him though. We will put you two through the ropes and then build you up, this will be no piece of cake, but when everything is done; you will be able to get information from anyone of any rank...
And so it went. Ibiki and Anko trained the two. Naruto had already been through all this thanks to his Duplication Jutsu. The days passed to weeks and eventually three months had passed. The Chunin Exams was a week away and they were already told that they were taking it. The team had become close friends in those few months they had taken a lot of Interrogation missions too, these were missions that have you interrogate a person for certain information, they have taken 23 C-rank, 14 B-rank, and 3 A-rank T&I missions. They had gained a reputation of being able to break people easily, even Ibiki was impressed, though he wouldn't admit it.
As it turns out, both of his teammates weren't from Konoha originally. Goran was actually born in the Land of Water, near Kumo. His family had a bloodline were killed off for it during the Blood War that only ended a few years ago. He usually hid the features of his bloodline because a lot of people found it creepy. His bloodline gave him a set of extra arms and always hid them in his Gi, he found that he could grow more pairs of arms, but it was a hassle to work with more. They did, however, complemented his self-made Kenjutsu style; The Gift of the Hecatoncheires(1). He was found by an Anbu Unit that detected a disturbance when they were passing by, the boy had Eight Chunin screaming and had already tortured and killed four others. When he was done, they offered Asylum in Konoha if he wanted and he agreed. He ended up staying with an Anbu named Hayate, who is apparently one of the worlds best swordsman, sadly however, he contracted a disease that has caused his muscles to atrophy.
Inarei was originally from Rice Country, She didn't come from a known clan, though it was obvious that she had a bloodline Doujutsu. She didn't know much about her mother or father, but she did know about her sister, her sister had been out one day and didn't come back. She found out that a Nin had taken her and she found as much information about the nin as she could and as it turns out her sister was taken by none other than Orochimaru. At the time, she didn't know he had defected from Konoha long before that, she ended up following a team of Jounin and plucked one out when he was asleep. The only reason they found her was because they could hear his screams. When they got there he was alive, his fingers were literally tied and he didn't have a single wound on him, but she did have knife to his neck. When she found out that Orochimaru had went rouge years before she let the guy go and explained her situation. They brought her back to Konoha and it was only thanks to the Jounin she captured that she wasn't in prison. Now she lives with said Jounin. His name is Genma, he was the guy that tested Naruto's Kenjutsu and ironically, he and Hayate were best friends. With his help she had found out one of her Doujutsus' abilities, it allows her to plant thoughts in peoples' head by looking at them, no eye contact needed. It's a great ability, but the drawback is the amount of chakra needed and that if the person has more chakra than her then it won't work and sadly she doesn't have great reserves either. He spent more time with her because Goran was constantly training.
The Hokage also told Naruto about the Kyuubi. That actually wen well, Naruto didn't care that there was a Being of Pure chakra inside him, though he now understands why people weren't all that friendly to him. He also laughed because when he though about it; while he wasn't the Kyuubi, they did have one similarity, he too was a tangible form of Pure Chakra. When he said that to the old Kage, they both laughed at the though of a human matching, and possible surpassing, the energy of such a being. Naruto, wanting to meet the fur-ball, asked Sarutobi if there was a way to meet it. So, he had a meeting with the Sannin Jiraiya, who was a Seal-Master, to help him achieve it. If all goes as planned, Naruto will gain a great weapon in the future.
(Hokage Tower)
"So this is the kid?" Jiraiya ask. Jiraiya was a tall man with large, spiky, white hair and a red and green Kabuki outfit. He had a Large scroll on his back and a Hiate-ate on his heat with the Kanji for 'Oil' in the center and a little horn on each side.
Naruto and Jiraiya were in front of the Hokage. Naruto had been summoned from training to meet the man and, possibly, meet the fox.
"Yes, this is him and I'll leave you to it. Naruto, are you sure you want to try this? Even with your ability, this being is old and powerful. The Kyuubi was a being created by the Rikudo Sennin to hold part of the powers of the monster he faced." The old Hokage asked, the worry in his voice showed, but this was something that he needed to try. Besides, if he failed then there would be no consequences.
"Yes I do. There is a lot to gain and nothing to lose from this Jiji. I will talk to the Fox and I will go through with this. I just need to face it alone." Turning to Jiraiya he says, "Jiraiya-san, will it be possible to do this now? I'd like to get it out of the way. The sooner, the better."
"Sure kid, but what do you plan on doing other than talk to it? The Old Man wouldn't tell me."
"Sigh... I'd rather not, but you are involved in this... I plan to talk to the Kyuubi and hopefully gain it's respect. The reason for this is because of my abilities."
"Speaking of which, what are your abilities? I heard that you have a bloodline that I know you didn't get from either of your parents." The Sannin asked.
"Wow, I'm surprised you don't know. Keeping this secret as close to home as possible, eh, Old Man?" This earned a chuckle in return. "Well, since You're the only a student of the Old Mans' that hasn't left the Village or went Traitor, I'll tell you..." Naruto closed his eyes for a second to collect himself. "What are the two sought after things for a Ninja, physically."
"Well, money, power, Se-"
"Not like that, I mean for living as a ninja, to fight and kill. What would Yougive an arm, leg, and as many body parts as possible to attain? You have money, power, and can get most woman anyways. So, what else could you wish for? Even if you see it as impossible because of the disgusting or dangerous path you would have to follow."
The older Nin stood there thinking for a few minutes before he looked at Naruto, "Kid, I really don't like where this conversation is going... The only things I can think of are an unlimited supply of chakra, infinite strength, everlasting life, and invincibility. All thing my ex-teammate sought after..." He was looking at Naruto with a blank face.
"Well, while I'm nothing like that Disgusting Hebi-Teme. I have achieved those very same four goals of his." This earned a gasp and a hard look from Jiraiya, "Now before you go on a war-path; I didn't experiment on anyone, except myself. Sort of."
"What do you mean sort of and HOW did you attain these?" The man was not jealous, but angry. The only way he could think of obtaining these goals have a lot of blood and bodies in their paths.
"A year an a half ago a man came to my class in the Academy and talked about Chakra Control, the Chakra Core, and more specifically; The Solid Chakra Shard that everyone has, he said that through training you can make it grow bigger and thus have more chakra in general and have more control overall. What he didn't tell us was that exhausting your Core was the only known way to make it grow. After the Academy let out for the day I went to my training grounds to see if I could make it grow. I won't tell you the process, but it worked and it didn't cost me any chakra. Most importantly though; Nobody died.." This caused Jiraiya to gasp again. "Wait though, that's not the best part. To see if it was a bloodline, me and Jiji here asked someone I trust to go through the process."
"I see, if it was a bloodline then they wouldn't be able to do it, but if it wasn't..."
"That is correct, so she attempted the process and low and behold. It Worked with her too!" A startled sound came from Sannins' mouth.
"Bu... But that would mean-" Naruto grinned and interrupted him, "You are Correct again, Jiraiya-san. This process will work on anyone. The ability to increase the Mass of my Solid Chakra, or the Shard as I call it, comes with more than that though. With it comes the ability to control; not only the Shape of the Shard, but the Solidity and Compression of the Shard."
"I know that being able to compress you chakra tightly is great for many Jutsu, but how does the solidity of it matter?" The man asked, now over enough of the shock to let his inquisitive nature peak through.
"Well, I'll answer that with another question; What would the affects of Liquid Chakra be in my muscles, skin, brain, and other organs be?"
The caused Jiraiyas' brain to stop completely. When it started back up he remembered what he knew about liquid Chakra and almost crapped his pants at what this mean. He remembered something from Waterfall village, their Sacred Water was Liquid Chakra... but it went from the stomach to the Chakra Network... If it was throughout the entire body then-
"Holy Shit Kid! That's like having all the Eight Celestial Gates open, but with none of the consequences!" He exclaimed.
"Hehe, not just that; Liquid Chakra has an interesting ability to it, besides the power. Can you think of it?" The boy asked with a smirk on his face.
"Hmm, well if I remember correctly; It did boost a persons' healing ability greatly. But that was when it was consumed... If it was distributed around the body then it would be possible to heal even if you were stabbed in the brain..." It was obvious that now that he was over his initial shock, he was prepared for anything. 'Hell, he has more chakra than even the Kyuubi now that I'm trying to detect it... A lot more chakra, holy shit... WHY IS IT FLUCTUATING SO RAPIDLY!' Well, at least on the outside he was prepared. Though, he was sweating a little bit...
"Almost correct. When a Mass amount of Liquid Chakra is present, it doesn't cause rapid healing. No no no, it causes regeneration. as long as Liquid Chakra is present throughout my body, then I will stay alive. I could be decapitated and the Liquid Chakra will keep me alive. Hell, I only need to eat when I feel like it! This also means that I won't age unless I want to." That threw Jiraiya through a loop. Infinite Chakra, Invincibility, and Agelessness. What was this kid!
"Also, because it's in my muscles as well, I am as strong as I need to be. I actually train with Gai on a daily basis, just so I can keep my reaction times up." He had all four of them... All of them!
"Ok kid. If you can't gain the respect of that beast, then nobody can. In all actuality; you have more chakra than it does! I should know, I faced the damn thing before Minato did. I may get in trouble for this, but you need to know; you are not the only Jinchuriki that the Kyuubi has had. In fact; your' mother was the last one."
"That is enough Jiraiya. Anymore than that will be learned by him upon making Chunin and then Jounin. He knows that this is how it has to be, he knows that his father asked this of me, but not who his father is." The Hokage said, 'Well, he does know, but I had to neither confirm nor deny that... Hmm, Naruto, you figure out way to many secrets, way too easily...'
"Thats' fine, but I wanted to let him know that only one person has ever had its' respect." Jiraiya said to the older man.
"And who was that Jiraiya-san?"
"Its' creator, the Rikudo Sennin. Also, from what the Old Man has told me, you never tapped into its' powers. So, it's probably asleep. That was part of the seal, untill you purposely tap into its' Chakra, then it will stay asleep. Good luck waking it up!"
"Well then, let's do this!"
With that Naruto followed Jiraiyas' instruction, hoping that everything works out. Naruto sits down and focus's in towards the Seal.
(A/N)
That's a wrap on number 3, This is getting interesting, no?
(1) - The Hecatoncheires are creatures born to the Titan Gaia, the Goddess of the Earth, and Uranus, the God of the Sky. They were said to have fifty heads and a hundred hands. Their appearance caused them to be thrown into Tartarus, the place damned souls go to, by Uranus after their birth. They were saved later by Zues with the help from their mother Gaia, to help the Gods defeat the Titans. There were only Three Hecatoncheires and all of them had a strength that surpassed the Titans, whom they helped Zues lock away in Tartarus. They become the guards of the Gates' of Tartarus because of their strength, which allowed them to keep the gates closed from any who tried to exit it, Totan or God. Even banished gods like Cronus, Zues' father, couldn't manage the strength to force them open. Their strengths was so great that they were said to be able to beat Gaia and keep her from destroying the Titans, so that they would be banished instead.
R&R - It's only polite.
