Authors note: Hope you like the new chapter. Nddijh will be updated saturday. This story is beginning to enter the main plot
At the hokage's office 7 am in the morning
Three anxious teens stand in front of sarutobi waiting for their sensei and their first mission. The Hokage was getting impatient, " If kakashi isn't hear in five minute's I'm going to burn his whole icha icha book collection."
As if somehow he was able to hear or feel sarutobi's threat he appeared right away with a scared look upon his face. "I'm here don't do anything to my books."
The old man burst out laughing. "Don't worry your books are safe." All of a sudden turning serious and in a dark tone "For now."
The rest of team 7 stood in silence trying to make sense about what happened. The mask warrior wiped some sweat off his forehead and began speaking formally. "So what's the mission you have for us."
Scrimmaging around his desk the third whips out a piece a paper " Ok here it is, looks like I'm a little backed up on my paperwork."
Out of concern kakashi questioned "Are you alright Hokage." He never leaves his desk messy like that. I think the last time he had his desk that messed up was right after the fourth died, something bad must be going on.
Waving his hand dismissively and looking at the paper. " I'm fine, now let's see your mission will be a c class mission, it's a simple protection job. It seems that a bridge in the wave country has been under attack by some bandit's lately. Stop the bandits for good. The employer will take you there."
All four turned to look at the door. Their stood a drunken old man with a full white beard. "I'm Tazuna. I'm the builder of the bridge that's under attack." He wobbles then burps. By placing a hand on the outline of the door he's able to regain his balance. Then he scans over team 7 sizing them up. " Are you sure they're going to be able to deal with this. I mean the only one that looks like he could fight is the one wearing a mask. The other's especially the blond look like scared little kids."
Naruto laughed " That's a good one old man but don't worry we can handle are selves' better than some drunk." He took a few seconds a charged at Tazuna. " You bastard " with a good amount of force he swung at the old man.
Kakashi caught naruto's fist and smacked him upside the head. " Stupid you can't punch the employer."
Sakura lightly scream at the blond as he began to walk back over to the group. " What the hell are you doing, your making yourself and us look like asses."
With a smirk Uzumaki took a glance back at his own ass. " well if we look like my ass then we must look good." Grabbing his side trying to prevent himself from laughing. Sakura slowly moved forward to our hero. Putting one hand in a stop position while the other hand held his side " I'm just kidding sakura you don't have t………"
He was cut off as the pink haired warrior began beating the living crap out of him. Sasuke mumbled "Idiot" While kakashi just shook his head. I'm definitely going to get yelled at for this.
Tazuna began laughing himself surprising most in the room. " Man I take back what I said this team will be great for the mission. Especially that one" Pointing to the only blond in the room. " You'r one interesting character."
Sarutobi chuckled " You got that right."
Not liking the fact that he wasn't the center of attention the uchiha interrupted the moment, " So when to we begin the mission."
Turning serious again the third answered " Meet tazuna in three hours. Make sure you prepare." Looking at the jounin " Make sure you stop by that shop before you leave for the mission." He nodded in acknowledgement "Now go I have other matter's I need to attend to."
The four left to prepare for their journey. Leaving sarutobi is his own thoughts. What am I going to do I can't find this berserker. I guess all I can do is make sure naruto doesn't fall into that bastards hands.
[ front gate of konoha.
All three warriors waited for tazuna and kakashi in their battle attire. Not long after kakashi carrying a big bag arrived with Tazuna. Naruto couldn't believe it " Sensei your actually on time."
" Yea when it comes to mission I don't mess around is what I should say but the hokage threatened me again so I had to come on time. It's just not right to threaten a mans icha icha collection."
" Yea sure sensei." The respect I just had for him just flew out the window.
Sakura just shook her head. Same old sensei
The sharigan user could care less. Tazuna interrupted " Alright guy's if your ready do you want to set out now."
" Wait just a second I have to give you guys something." He reached into his bag. " No warrior should go into battle without a weapon to call their own." He pulled out a long black katana " this blade is called the kusangi ( grass cutter) it can be charged with electricity. Sasuke it's all yours. Next is Sakura," he pulled out a black war hammer with a painting of a thorny vine wrapping around it. " this massive weapon is to help utilize that monstrous strength of yours. Lastly Naruto." He pulled out a regular long sword " I'm sorry to say I couldn't find a weapon that matched you so just use this for now an as soon as I get the chance I'll find you a weapon that's more designed for you."
Our blue eyed genin sighed " Thank you sensei" Better than nothing but honestly what did I suspect. I bet he did find a weapon that fit me but the store owner wouldn't sell it to him since he knew it was for me."
The jounin gave naruto a sorrowful glance. I'm sorry naruto I don't mean to lie to you I just don't want you to know that I found a weapon fit for you it's just the blacksmith wouldn't sell it me because it was for you.
The words the blacksmith shouted at him still rung like a bell continuously in his head. I would never want one of my quality weapons to a demon. Here take this sword it's a piece of shit the only thing that monster's worthy to touch. He continues to look at naruto what does this kid go through? "Alright guy's get use to your weapons along the way where setting out now."
Sasuke smiled at the blond. A shitty blade for a shitty warrior. " Better luck next time dobe"
Naruto didn't even answer he was to consumed in his own thought I don't even think he heard the uchiha's comment. Whatever I'll be fine a swords a sword. What was the thing abiru use to always say. It took him a few seconds but it finally popped in his head. Yea now I remember the greatest of weapons can be as dangerous as a butter knife in the wrong hands but a butter knife can become the greatest of weapons in the right hands.
Sakura was completely oblivious of what was going on around her. She was to focused on admiring her new weapon and thinking about all the great thing's she could accomplish with it. Man this hammer feels like a part of me already. It's some beautiful and magnificent. With a weapon like this I can soon become a Valkyrie. Plus I'm sure I'll also be able to help me impress sasuke. A slight blush crept up on her face.
Naruto saw her cheeks redden. " So sakura It seems to me your thinking of something perverted again."
" What are you talking about." Haruno tried to play it off."
" I saw you blush were you thinking of ………… Tazuna. Come one don't lie to me you were weren't you." Uzumaki grinned in satisfaction
She almost gagged at the thought of tazuna like that. " EW god no. That's disgusting."
The blue eyed ex-con playfully screamed " Tazuna sakura thinks' your dis…….. "
The pink haired genin slapped her hand over his mouth shutting him up immediately. Tazuna turned around to see who was calling him. When no one responded he just shrugged his shoulders and kept on walking. Sakura sighed in relief. Right after that she couldn't containe herself and slightly chuckled. " Your such an ass."
With a big toothy grin " I do what I can."
His expression made her blush again but this time she was able to hide it so he didn't catch it this time. Even knowing he's an ass he's also kind of cute. But now where near as cute as Sasuke-kun
[ Hours later.
It had become dark and kakashi thought it be best to stop and make camp for the night, It was such a clear sky you could see millions of stars along with the half moon. After everyone ate some grilled fish they caught earlier on a bonfire everyone else went ther own way's to rest. As naruto was taking a walk he found a magnificent waterfall. He lifted up his arm an took a sniff. " Damn I need to clean off a little I stink."
He took all of his clothing off except for his boxer's and cannoned balled into the water. He was swimming for a couple of minutes when all of a sudden a whirlpool appeared out of nowhere. He didn't have enough time to even react and was instantly pulled down into it.
The whirlpool dropped naruto out into some sort of hidden cave. The place was pitch black the only light he had was his fire power surrounding his hand. He slowly began to search for some sort of exit and eventually stumbled upon a thick wooden door. " what the hell is a door doing in a place like this."
It took him a good amount of force to open the heavy wooden door. Once it was open he scanned the room but the only thing he could see was an unlit touch. He threw a mini fireball at it, lighting it up immediately. The one torch light up the room perfectly. What the light revealed was quite gruesome there was blood splatter all over the place. After he took a few more steps in he saw where all the blood had come from. A skeleton was lying next to a blood red chest with the symbols of a wolf and a fox trying to attack each other but a man in the middle is preventing them. " Hmm I wonder what's in the chest." He reached down to try and opened it but it wouldn't budge. " Damn it." He tried it again but this time he cut his hand trying to open it. Somehow the blood was the key and the chest opened itself.
Inside the chest was dual blood red swords with a black handle. Each sword had an engraving in the middle of the sword. Too Human. Naruto picked up the swords. The blades seemed to be made for him. The weight, everything fit perfectly for him. He sheathed the swords and saw out of the corner of his eye a note at the bottom of the chest. The note had blood fingerprints all over it. " Something real bad must of happened here."
The note read, Whoever may be reading this I give you my swords. Use them with honor. These swords are powerful but only one of the berserker bloodline may use them. " it seems like the blood loss finally got to his head. After that he just wrote the same thing over and over again. The Destroyer is Actually the Savior." Naruto bowed his head to the skeleton " I will take your sword to fulfill your last wishes. I promise I will honor your name and your blade." He looked up and saw a weird looking star shaped dog tag. He read the name off of them " Balder"
[ Somewhere in the world
Odin was leaping soundly until all of a sudden he woke up screaming. Freya immediately came from where ever she just was and ran to the old man's side. " Odin are you alright what's going on."
Sweat poured down his wrinkled face. " Balder's blade's have been awoken."
Surprise was etched on the beautiful freya's face. " It can't be. It so soon."
" Yes I know the blizzard of legend is beginning earlier then we excepted."
[Outside the waterfall
Our hero was finally able to get out of the hidden cave and back to the waterfall. Now with a pair of new swords, he treaded through the water trying to reach his cloths. However before he could reach them he realized he wasn't the only one there. He turned around with great speed and witnessed a sight that made his heart and another part of his body leap.
Under the waterfall was a glistening naked Sakura. The water from the waterfall slowly rolled down her body while the moonlight hit her back. On her right shoulder she had a tattoo of an angel picking up a wounded man
Naruto could barely keep himself staring from the sight. He rubbed his eyes trying to see if he was seeing things. After staring for a few more seconds he realized what he was doing. Shit this isn't right any way if she caught me looking I'd be dead. Knowing her she wouldn't even give me a chance to explain. At a painfully slow process he was finally able to get his cloths and get away without making a sound. As he was leaving he blushed and looked back at sakura See you tomorrow Sakura-chan.
Sakura turned around as of somehow she heard his thoughts.
In the distant a pair of sharigan eye's stared at the pink haired teen bathing. It's almost time sakura for me and you to join together. Soon you'll be an angel for the uchiha's. he licked his lips and continued to watch.
[ the next morning
They began their journey again to the country of the wave. Kakashi and sakura noticed naruto's new weapons. Sakura curious asked " Naruto where did you get those swords."
Naruto scratched his head. I probably shouldn't tell them the details. They might go there and find out I'm a berserker. Damn it I should have destroyed that not but I just didn't think it was right to destroy the last thing someone did before they died. " I wondered a little bit last night and found a traveling merchant. I saw these swords and he let me buy them for pretty cheap. He said he had too much to carry and he needed to get rid of them. Lucky huh."
" Yea that is lucky naruto." Sakura completely believed him but kakashi an experienced warrior could see he wasn't being honest.
Kakashi smacked the blond teen in the back of the head. " Alright were all glad you have a new weapon but stay focus. I have a feeling somebody is watching us." He bagan to walk away but a glance at the blood red blades. I've seen those somewhere before. Damn it where have I seen them. He quickly shot his head up alerting the other three. I see so two warriors are here. Hmm this might be a good chance to test the teens plus who are they after me or tazuna. " You guy's stay here I'm going to check something out up ahead. Suround tazuna nd make sure no one get's to him."
All three genins stayed on their toes as kakashi left them. Liteally a minute after the jounin left two warriors with gas mask on released a fog over them. Naruto yelled at the other tree people " It's poison gas hold your breath." Shit were defensless. And the warriors are hidden in this poison gas. Shit I didn't want to do this with them here but maybe I'll be lucky for once and they won't see me.
Sakura was scared out of her mind just waiting for either her to lose her breath or the warrior's to attack and kill her. All of a sudden she felt this huge power flow over her. Oh shit what the hell is this bone chilling power."
Even sasuke was nervous but for a whole different reason. This isn't right only a uchiha should have that kind of power. Tazuna couldn't even move under that pressure.
All of them were losing their breath when all of a sudden the poison gas disappeared. And the first image they all saw was naruto's blade piercing threw of of the warriors.
Uzumaki pulled his sword out of the almost lifeless body. With the last of his strength the enemy warrior scratched him with his clawed gauntlet.
Seeing naruto like that she couldn't believe it " Naruto how did you kill him let alone find him."
He didn't have time to answer because the other warrior charged at sakura. " Sakura watch out." The warrior was too fast. Sakura had no time to react however before she was even touch sasuke decapitated the gas mask man.
" I can't let you get all the glory." For the first time the uchiha actually gave naruto a warming smile.
They were finally about to relax when they all herd clapping. A man built like a house walked out of the woods. He was dressed in all the black and had a x like scar across his face. " That was very impressive for freshly graduated genin. Yea I can tell. Anyway I need to kill that tazuna guy. So just let me have him and I won't kill you."
Tazuna freaked " Tell that bastard gatoh he can't have our village or our bridge."
The huge man didn't even react. " So how about it give the man to me or die a painful death."
Naruto grabbed sakura's arm startling her and pulled her in close. He whispered " Get Sasuke and Tazuna and run. Try to find kakashi I'll hold this bastard off."
" Wait naruto you can't do this alone if we fight together we could stop him."
" He's too strong even if we all fought together. I can sense it. Even if we all ran he would catch us. If I stay behin you three will be able to survive. I'm sure if you find kakashi he could handle this bastard."
" Naruto I won't abandon you I can't abandon you."
" Look you're not abandoning me your just letting me watch your back. Now we don't have time for us to argue this."
" Alright but why does it have to be you that stay's behind. I mean why don't you let me stay behind."
" Your much more important than me. If you die you'll be mourned if I die it'll be celebrated."
" why would you ever say such a thing about yours….."
Naruto cut her off " Look it doesn't matter. Go tell sasuke what's going on. I'm going to use my power to blind him for a second. When I say go you take tazuna and take off"
" Ok" She slowly moved over to sasuke and told him what was going on. He nodded at naruto in understanding."
The Massive man threatened " Whatever your planning it won't work so just give me the non important bridge builder or I will kill you starting with the pretty pink haired one."
Uzumaki stood his ground and didn't waver at all against the means murderous intent. " everyman is important to at least someone. So now we won't hand him over. You can go fuck yourself."
" Wrong answer." The warrior began to move.
Our hero howled " Go now." The two teens took the old bridge builder and ran. Sakura looked back. You better not die or I will beat the living shit out of you.
" You're not getting away." The scar faced man ran after them
Naruto cut him off. " I'm sorry but you're staying here with me. Inferno Flare." Naruto burned his flame bright instead of hot and a blinding white light flashed in the man's eye.
After a few minutes the man began to regain his sight. He saw naruto still standing there ready for a fight."
" You should of ran with your friend's because now I'm going to rip you apart."
" Bring it." Naruto eyes Flashed lime green as snow began to fall all around him.
