Hey everybody it is I, the one, the only, Crescent Ninja! First off before anyone reads this chapter I just wanted to let you all know that the first two chapters have been edited and updated, some changes, nothing too major. I also noticed in some other stories I have to revise them so I will do that when I get the chance, college is around the corner for me but I will try to fit updating into my schedule and I know that this story was due for a chapter I believe more than a year, so yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Disclaimer: I do not own any anime at all, only ideas.
Chapter 3: Training part 1
It's been two days since Naruto had finished the third portion of the Chunin exams and had been given permission by the Sandaime to leave the village for a month to train. Wanting some privacy and a chance to surprise his opponents he figured he'd take this opportunity to travel around and pay his respects to Zabuza and Haku. It took him a day and a half to make it to Nami no Kuni, but little did he know that he was being followed.
Nami no Kuni (Zabuza and Haku's grave)
"Hello Zabuza, Haku, it's been a while. I'm sorry it took so long for me to visit you two. I guess you could say everything had been a bit hectic lately." Naruto said rubbing some dirt off of Haku's mask and the Kubikiribocho.
"Naruto, behind you!"
"I know!"
Turning around Naruto shot two bone bullets towards the person behind him. The figure jumped to the side dodging the bullets.
"How did you know I was behind you?" The figured asked.
"Ah Takashi-san, what a pleasant surprise. To answer your question, I could smell your bloodlust." Naruto responded.
The figure now known as Takashi, the Kumo jonin from the exam, smiled. "Then I guess you can tell why I'm here."
"Yes and the answer is no."
With a smile still on his face he chuckled. "Well that's unfortunate, but how about I make things easier for you? Give me my student's corpse, the Tamashi Sutira, and the Kubikiribocho. In exchange I will let you live⦠with at least one arm of course."
A frown adorning on Naruto's face clearly showed what his answer was going to be. "Not only do you want my property, but the weapon of my deceased friend and to top it all of you threaten me as well? Well I'm sorry, but you just crossed a line that you weren't meant to cross."
Summoning two bones swords, one in each hand he rushed the Kumo Jonin.
"To be honest I was hoping this was your answer! Now feel the wrath of the Ranton (Storm release)!"
Right before he could get close enough a beam of electricity headed straight for him. Acting fast Naruto jumped out of the way as the beam of electricity shot passed him. Realizing his mistake, he turned back to see Haku's grave marker being blasted off the cliff. Angry at what Takashi did he turned to face him only to have a fist connected to his cheek sending him a couple of feet back. Getting back his bearings, Naruto tried to rush Takashi only for the man to disappear. Reacting fast Naruto channeled chakra to the back of his head right before getting a kick to the back of his head, sending him face first to the ground. Luckily he was able to soften the damage a bit from that kick.
"Ranton: Tai tan no Sumasshu! (Storm Release: Titan's Smash)"
Naruto immediately pushed himself off to the side just in time to see an overhead lightning smash impact the ground causing debris to fly everywhere.
"I got to admit you must have some skill to pull that off. Hell if you'd had been hit by that you would have been crippled for life." Takashi said with a mad grin on his face.
Not saying anything the white haired Uzumaki took a deep breath so as to steel his nerve. Taking his two bones that are in his hand he once again charged Takashi, dodging bolts of lightning that Takashi was throwing off his fist. (Think of the Fanalis from Magi using Bard Kauza)
Appearing right in front of Takashi Naruto went for two horizontal slashes toward his waist. Realizing his second mistake already, Naruto summoned a Kage bunshin without using any handsigns. The clone immediately pushed Naruto away in time only to take the hit from another overhead smash. Using this golden opportunity Naruto pushed chakra from out his face blasting him towards Takashi just in time to shove a bone sword through Takashi's side. Without wasting another second Naruto spun around around and stabbed his second bone sword through Takashi's back.
"AHH!" the Kumo jonin screamed in pain as he felt two sharp objects in his body.
He turned tried to backhand Naruto away only for the white haired genin to disappear. Immediately Takashi ripped the two bone swords and fried them to dust with his lightning chakra. Hearing a shout of 'Byakugan' Takashi turned to face the direction of where the grave markers are.
"It seems you are within my divinationā¦."
"Two palms"
"Four palms"
"Eight palms"
"Sixteen palms"
"Thirty-two palms"
"Sixty-four palms"
"Hakke bon Hyaku Nijuhachi Sho!" Naruto said with his last attack hitting Takashi in the stomach.
Feeling his chakra points closed Takashi fell to one knee. Channeling his chakra, he noticed only the chakra points located on the right side of his body was closed. "It seems you were only able to shut off half only of my chakra pathways. Luckily for me I only need half." Takashi stated with a smug attitude.
Channeling lightning and water chakra through his left hand to create his storm chakra he immediately snapped his fingers "Ranton: Akuma no sakebi! (Storm Release: Devil's cry)"!
A loud screeching shrill spread throughout the vicinity. Naruto feeling pain in his ears fell to both of his knees as he tried to block out the noise.
"Naruto! That jutsu just destroyed both of year ear drums!" Kurama said.
'What!? Then how can I hear you?' Naruto asked.
"Im talking through your mind, like your conscious duh."
'Can you fix it Kura?'
"Of course I can, but it seems he's using his chakra to keep the sound waves going in the whole are, like that hidden mist Zabuza used before. You are going to have to fight death for now Naruto."
'Damn this is going to be hard, remind me to read lips next time Kura!'
'Hearing' an okay from Kurama, Naruto stood back up channeling chakra through his ears so he wouldn't have the sound do even more damage to his ears. Regaining his bearings Naruto stood back up and summoned four clones, two of the four clones summoned a set of bone swords while the other two stood behind them and in front of Naruto. The clones with the bone swords charged the Kumo jonin who is now able to fully get up. It seems Naruto did not use enough chakra to shut his pathways off longer. Takashi pulled a scroll out of his ninja pouch and summoned two silver tantos. Blocking a sword strike from one clone, he used his free hand to block the second one only for the two clones that stood behind to shoot him in both of his shoulders with bone bullets.
'Hmm, it seems I need to improve the speed of my bullets, ten seconds is still too slow. I need to be able to shoot repeatedly within a second, maybe even faster since Kura's chakra can help me regenerate bones at an exceeding rate. One thing's for sure how am I going to beat him, he could obliterate my clones with his Ranton and I do not want to use my sword because he Isn't worthy. Maybe if I use THAT I can beat him.' Naruto contemplated in thought.
Summoning a clone, he had it quickly dispel itself in order to relay his plan to the other four. The two clones near him nodded their heads and gotten into the stance for their "Yanagi no Mai (Dance of the Willow)". Long sharp bones appeared from their shoulders, elbows, knees and the palm of their hands. As soon as the two clones engaging Takashi dispersed in a puff of smoke the last two clones instantly appeared at the jonins side and began to engage him. This dance form is incredibly acrobatic, using spins, charges, and long sweeping slashes to make the strikes more effective and to evade opponents' counter strikes. Gathering chakra, he summoned four more clones and had them shoot bone bullets towards Takashi. Some of the bullets were hitting their mark while the rest were being deflected even with the jonin's back basically against the wall. Gathering even more chakra, he asked Kurama for as much as he could spare, bubbling red chakra began to cloak his whole body as two red chakra tails appeared.
"Two tails worth of my chakra is all you could control, but it should be enough."
'THANK YOU KURA!'
Summoning another clone and dispelling it, signaled the okay for the four clones to join the fray. Two bones appeared on Naruto's shoulder along with several others going down his spine to his tail bone. "Be honored Takashi-san for you are the first of my opponents to witness the last and final dance of the Kaguya! I am willing to skip one dance just to defeat you!" Naruto yelled as he slammed both of his hands on the ground.
"Sawarabi no mai! (Dance of the Seedling Fern)"
Countless bones rose from underground, growing to the height of a full grown tree impaling everything in his path including his clones. Seeing the bones right before it could impale him Takashi channeled storm chakra throughout his whole body he extended his hand to the side.
"Don't fuck with me you piece of shit genin! Ranton: Gureto Kohai! (Storm release: Great Devastation)"
A great blueish-white field of electricity consumed the whole area where Takashi was obliterating the trees of bone within a ten-foot radius. Seeing the clones and the kid gone he smiled, but he immediately stumbled as he felt the cliff collapse. Just a foot away from being safe that's all Takashi needed, but his first mistake, thinking that Uzumaki Kaguya Naruto was dead. Out came Naruto from a white bone tree that was two feet away from the blast radius his chakra cloak still on the genin soared through the air with a bone sword in his hand and impaling Takashi's shoulder. Both jonin and genin began to free fall off the cliff along with Zabuza's and Haku's corpse that were luckily buried deep enough to not be vaporized.
"You want the Kubikiribocho so bad!? Then Take it!" Naruto shouted as he immediately grabbed Zabuza's sword and bisected Takashi's body in half killing the crazy jonin.
"Kit good news, I was able to heal your ears perfectly, bad news is your falling down the cliff, but luckily you should survive when you land in the water." Kurama stated.
'Thanks Kurama, I knew I could count on you.' Naruto said.
Having to act fast as he began to free fall he summoned a clone to throw him near the bodies of his dead friends. Seeing Haku's obi that was blown off earlier hanging on a branch below them, he immediately grabbed it and tighten the Kubikiribocho onto himself. Grabbing Haku and Zabuza he summoned a clone to seal them both on a scroll that he decided to use for corpses. Receiving the scroll, he put it in his pocket as he grabbed the clone to shield him from the impact of the water. Being fully submerged in the water his clone dispelled. Opening his eyes underwater he shouted in irritation since the water was salt water. Swimming upwards to surface he was immediately greeted with a giant rock that rendered him unconscious.
Few hours later
The prone body of the white haired Uzumaki laid unmoving on the shores of Mizu no Kuni. Short breaths were coming out of Naruto's mouth as he still laid unconscious, unable to defend himself from the two figures dressed in black cloaks with red clouds and straw hats adorned on their head. One of the two figures were hunched over while the other was riding what looked like a white bird. The hunched back man spoke up in a gruff voice. "What do you know, the Kyubi Jinchuriki. Zetsu was right he did change."
The man riding on the white bird looked towards his partner with a smirk on his face "What should we do with him Sasori-senpai, Un."
A large metal tail appeared from the man known as Sasori and wrapped around the unmoving body of Naruto. "We take him of course."
And That's it! I know it seems really short, but my original got deleted so I decided to make a part 1 and a part 2 for this chapter. I will try to update more especially with school around the corner, I don't know how often I would be able to, but I'll try. Let me know what you all think and as always Follow, Favorite, and Review!
