Naruto was not a happy person. Why you ask? It was pretty simple actually he was on a team with a perverted cyclops, a emo, and a screeching banshee. And for three months they've done nothing but D-rank missions from digging up weeds to catching the Daimyou's wife's cat. Because he was so busy with his missions he did not have time to read the scroll his father gave him. Also the day after his Genin Exam, he was summoned by the council again. And the next day he met Konohamaru; The Sandaime Hokage's grandson.
Flashback
"Naruto Uzumaki you are charged with treason, for the murder of three civilians, Mizuki Touji, and the vicious assault on Iruka Umino." a civilian council member said with a smirk.
"Naruto how do you plead?" Sarutobi sighed, knowing this was the biggest waste of time. Apparently the council needed glasses from the report he wrote the specifically stated his rescue of Iruka Umino, and killing the traitor. But apparently these civilian bigots decided this was a crime.
He was honestly wondering why they were involved in shinobi matters in the first palce.
"Not guilty." Naruto simply said.
"Bullshit! You're to be executed immediately!" the pink-haired council member screeched, only to get a blast of killing intent from Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki and Hibari Haruno that is enough!" Sarutobi yelled, "Naruto please explain your reasoning's."
"First off seven drunken idiots attacked me, and I merely defended myself. I killed three of them and the other four fled like cowards, they were lucky that I had to get to my Genin Test or I would've killed them as well. As for Mizuki he was the one who attacked Iruka, he became a Missing ninja after he stole The Forbidden Scroll of Sealing. So I merely did what the Hunter ninjas do, I eliminated him." Naruto said with massive irritation in his voice.
"What Naruto-san said is true. Mizuki became a Missing-nin, and we would've hunted him down if Naruto-san didn't kill him." the leader of the of the Anbu said on his behalf.
"Oh really? How can you prove that?" Hibari snarled.
"When we got to the scene of the fight we found several kunai and shuriken with Iruka-san's blood on it, two slightly melted giant shuriken's that were cut in half, several indents in the grass where the The Forbidden Scroll of Sealing was, along with some footprints, and Iruka-san's body imprint, and the burnt remains of Mizuki's body along with his unharmed severed head." the man said making the Haruno fume before silencing herself.
"As for the killings it was clearly in self-defense, after all I did that when a drunk assaulted me when I was a Genin. And all I did was get a slap on the wrists!" Tsume Inuzuka complained.
"As of which we of the shinobi council. Determine that Naruto Uzumaki is not guilty on all accounts." Hiashi Hyuuga announced.
"However before we can go home, Sasuke Uchiha has demanded that you give him all your techniques." Inochi Yamanaka sighed knowing the results of this incident.
"First of all the Uchiha can go fuck himself, and second what did I tell you about pulling something like this?" Naruto said in a deadly tone.
"I believe you would make the Kyuubi attack look like a harmless little fox when I'm through with this village." Shibi responded in a voice that clearly showed this was going to be a disaster area soon.
"That's correct Lord Aburame. However because the Hokage pleaded with me not to do anything drastic, I've decided to let you all off with a warning."
"I don't care you rotten demon, you have tainted our village with your vile essance for too long!" the fat civilian council member bellowed, "I don't care what that pathetic excuse for a old man says anymore your going to die today!" the idiot then proceeded to take out a suntetsu from his yakuta sleeve, and charged at Naruto who was standing still until he was in range and he made his move. He grabbed the fat man by his neck and held the three-hundred and fifty pound man in the air with just his left hand.
"So you want me to to die huh? Well let me tell you something you fat piece of shit you broke the Thirds Law-"
"I don't care about the law, that old bastard should step down and make me his successor! He obviously has no idea how to run this place unlike me!" the fat moron screamed.
If anyone were to pay attention to the rest of the councils faces they would have seen pure idiocy looks on them. This fat moron actually proclamed that he could run the village better? A man almost as big as Choza, with absolutely no shinobi training proclamed himself the Sandaimes second successor? Even the civilian council who disagreed with the Hokage on a few things, respected the mans positon as leader of the village -while they were silently taking his power away over the years of course-. But this idiot just sentenced himself to death.
Naruto looked over to the old Kage, "Shall I take care of him? He did break the law after all."
Sarutobi looked right into the mans eyes, and saw a fleetng hope that he would be spared.
"Do it." he ordered, much to the disbelief of many council members.
Naruto only nodded and followed the old mans orders, "The Second Secret Sword: Crimson Lotus Arm!" he whispered as he unsheathed his katana, the friction ignited the oil on his katana and the gunpowder on his glove blowing the man to pieces. Covering Naruto's entire arm in blood, globs of fat, and flesh. The blond then looked at the rest of the civilian members who already yaked up their breakfast that morning.
"I believe this meeting is over, good bye everyone." Naruto said and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Leaving behind a scene of death, and Sarutobi calling for a janitor.
The next day we found Naruto walking home from getting his picture taken for his ninja license. However the photographer started giving him crap and that put him in a foul mood. Lost in thought Naruto wasn't paying attention to his surroundings until he was suddenly barreled over by something smaller then him. A child most likely.
"Watch where you're going you imbecile!" yep, definitely a child. He suppressed a sigh. This was just exactly what he needed right now.
"Hey idiot! You gonna say something!" the child yelled.
Naruto got to his feet with a suddenness that sent the kid sprawling to the ground, and flopping onto the ground with a dull thud. "Watch where your going brat." he then turned to continue on is way.
"Hey! Don't walk away from me! Apologize!"
Naruto turned around with a glare that caused the kid to flinch. And he finally got a good look at the kid. He was about the average height of an eight or nine year old probably four foot two, had black eyes that held total innocence something which he almost envied. He was wearing the most stupidest hat that the blond had ever seen that made his brown hair stick out of it like a volcano spewing out lava with a smiley face button on it. His clothes consisted of a simple yellow shirt, white shorts, and blue sandals, the only thing that didn't fit his clothing was that long-assed blue scarf the went to the ground.
"Leave me alone." he said. This was not the time to be on his nerves.
The kid quickly regained his composure and screamed, "No! After you knocked me over you expect me to just drop it? Who do you think you are!"
Naruto turned around. By This time several villagers had gathered and were looking worried, "First of all you crashed into me so shut your mouth and leave."
The kid scowled and ran up to him, "Hey! Do you know who I am? I'm Konohamaru Sarutobi! The honorable grandson of the third Hokage! Show some respect!"
As soon as those words left Konohamaru's mouth he was roughly lifted into the air by the front of his shirt. He gazed into Naruto's eyes and felt afraid for the first time in his life. But before he could say anything what looked like a Jounin wearing a dark blue sweat shirt, dark blue sweat pants taped at the ankles, blue shinobi styled sandals, a bandanna with his hitai-ate on the front of it, and black sunglasses appeared. And immediately scowled at the sight of Naruto.
"Release the Honorable grandson this instant!" he demanded.
Konohamaru felt a bit of courage return and he began to speak again, "Yeah put me down! Ya don't wanna have to face my grandfather do ya? If you hit me then you're screwed!"
Naruto narrowed his eyes as the kid began to smirk.
"Release the Honorable grandson this instant!" the Jounin demanded once again. The villagers were getting antsy. They wanted to say something but they knew they would only make things worse for the boy. After Naruto killed those three men in broad daylight, and heard what he did to the council member he killed yesterday they were reluctant to try and attack him again.
Konohamaru gazed into Naruto's eyes defiantly and said, "So you won't put me down? Are you scared? You can't touch me if you do then you face punishment from my grandfather! It's better for you to just apologize and put me down."
"Yes, listen to what he says!" the Jounin yelled yet again.
"Hah! I'm untouchable! You'd be an idiot to hit me!"
That was it. And everyone saw it. They went to say something but it was too late. Without a word Naruto nailed Konohamaru on his head, and tossed him to the hard ground behind him. Konohamaru landed squarely on his ass, skidded a couple of feet before slamming into a wooden fence. The Jounin was stunned. Naruto looked at the Jounin and said, "I wouldn't care if the brat was related to Kami himself. Make sure he knows that labels and association mean shit to me." and with that, he walked away.
The villagers moved over to where Konohamaru was unconscious to give the boy any kind of help. They also made it point to tell him that Naruto was not someone to piss off.
The Jounin glared at Narutos retreating form. "Don't think this is over fox." he muttered.
Unfortunately for Naruto where ever he went Konohamaru followed, and it wasn't too hard to tell since the boy didn't hide his chakra signature very well. Or the fact that he held a blanket camouflaged as a fence sideways showing his feet, and the square rock with holes that followed him everywhere he went.
Finally he had enough and kicked the pathetic disguise at least two miles away leaving Konohamaru exposed. "Uh he heh, how are you doing?" the Hokage's grandson asked with an embarrassed blush on his cheeks.
Naruto examined the child with a raised eyebrow before he spoke in a flat monotone voice, "What do you want?" there were numerous answers Naruto expected to hear from him like another demand for an apology.
However his answer shocked him.
"Will you train me Boss?" Konohamaru asked, pure sincerity in his voice as he asked his question.
Naruto had only one thing to say to this, "What?"
"Please train me." Konohamaru said with a huge smile.
"Why?"
"Because I won't leave you alone until you do."
Naruto thought about this for a moment. He could always kill the kid, but then he would have the village after his head. And unfortunately for him he did owe the Hokage one for keeping him as safe as he could get before he met Shishio. After another period of thought he gave Konohamaru his answer.
"Fine." he then grabbed Konohamaru's shoulder, and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
We now find them at Team Sevens training ground.
"Alright kid tell me what do you know about chakra." Naruto said.
"To perform techniques, ninja need to use their chakra. Chakra comes from two places: the first is the bodies energy inherent in the trillions of their cells and the second is the mental and spiritual energy gained from exercise and experience. To perform a jutsu, the ninja will bring out and release these two energies. The amount of chakra required for a technique will vary depending upon its size and complexity. Each ninja has the potential to better utilize an elemental ninjutsu style." Konohamaru recited.
"Yea now do it without that scroll you're holding." Naruto sweat-dropped, "Today I'm going to show you how to climb a tree."
"Boss I already know how to climb a tree." Konohamaru stated the obvious.
"That's right, but...there's just one rule. No hands." Naruto said now letting Konohamaru know that he'll have try to climb a tree with this condition.
"Umm, are you serious Boss? You're kidding, right?" Konohamaru asked his "sensei".
Without responding he then did the tiger seal and he saw faint bit of dust lift from his feet. He then proceeded to walk towards one of the trees in the surrounding area. What the boy expected see when he put his foot on the trunk of the tree and try to walk up it was to see him fall straight on his ass, but that was not what he saw and it surprised him. Because there he was, casually walking up the tree with hands in his pockets. When Naruto finished his walking, he was hanging upside down from a branch. This action made Konohamaru jump up and scream how cool that was.
"Focus your chakra into your feet and try to stick to the tree." Naruto then took out the last kunai he swiped from Sasuke during his test, and threw it at Konohamaru's feet, "Use this to mark your progress." he continued as he fell from the tree and landed on the ground.
Needless to say Konohamaru picked up the kunai and ran at the tree, however in his excitement he forgot to add chakra to his feet, and he slammed face-first into said tree.
As the day wore on Naruto saw that Konohamaru's progress, and he silently admitted the kid was good. After falling on his ass, and head numerous times the kid was making steady progress. But the day was nearing into the late afternoon Naruto told Konohamaru to take a break seeing him about to collapse from exhaustion.
They were both sitting on a fallen log, drinking some lemonade that Naruto bought, both looking at the sunset. there was one word that could be described for this scene: Peaceful.
After finishing his drink Naruto spoke to him, "Why did you want me to train you exactly?"
"Because you hit me." Konohamaru answered. Seeing Naruto raise an eyebrow he continued, "Grandpa gave the name Konohamaru. I'm named after the village. Even though everyone knows my name, nobody ever calls me that. When someone is talking about me or calling me calling me all they see is the Hokage's grandson. I'm sick of it. No one sees me as me, that is why Ebisu; the glasses guy is training me to become Hokage. By training under him he says I will become Hokage in no time. That is what I want so people can acknowledge me as me. But unlike the others who always kiss up to me, you were the first to do something different. Now that I'm training under you, I'll become Hokage for sure."
Naruto could relate to the kid when he was about that age. He was always screaming that he was going to be Hokage. But after years of hardships he realized that was just a selfish dream. Sighing he stood up and told Konohamaru the cold hard facts of life, "Idiot who would acknowledge a brat like you."
"Huh?"
"The Hokage title a little brat could take." Naruto continued.
"What?"
"This isn't kids play, moron! The title of Hokage...if you want the title that bad, then."
"Then what!" Konohamaru screamed.
"Then stop being naive." Naruto said coldly, shocking Konohamaru, "The Hokage title, is the title of the greatest shinobi in the village. He or she is the one who has mastered over a thousand jutsus, who has killed more people than you can even think of, and is willing to give his or her life for the village without a second thought."
He then stood up to leave, "Remember there are never shortcuts in life...Konohamaru." and with that said Naruto left the boy to ponder on his thoughts.
A few minutes later when Naruto was way out of hearing distance he spoke to the trees, "You can come out now Ebisu." a second later said glasses-wearing Jounin appeared in front of him.
"How much did you hear?" he asked.
"All of it." the Special Jounin answered.
"Good, I expect great things out of him. So don't try to fill his head with that shortcut nonsense." Naruto then walked past him not knowing that he changed Ebisu's view of the so-called Demon Brat.
Flashback Ends
Needless to say he wasn't bothered by them again...well for now. Anyways Team Seven finally returned from their latest mission.
"Team Seven turning in our report Lord Hokage." Kakashi reported.
Everyone just looked at how, the cat's owner; Madame Shijimi squeezed the life out of Tora. "Ohhh, my baby, my baby Tooooorrrrrrraaaaa-cccchhhhhaaaannnnn! Don't run away again!" the hugging Tora was put under could easily be called animal abuse.
'Now I know why it keeps running away.' Team Seven thought in a union.
Madame Shijimi paid her mission fees and about to walk out, when Naruto spoke to her. "Excuse me Shijimi-dono I believe I can stop Tora from running away." he said to her, making everyone wonder if that was even possible.
"Really? Care to share?" Madame Shijimi asked.
"It's really simple, don't squeeze him so hard." Naruto said and then disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Needless to say the cat never bothered anyone ever again.
After that Team Seven left, and a few minutes later Team Eight arrived asking for a C-ranked mission.
Two days later Naruto woke up to someone knocking on his door, sighing he got out of bed and went t the door. He opened it to see an Anbu member wearing a deer mask.
"Naruto-san Lord Hokage has called for your presence." he said grabbing Naruto's shoulder and disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
Sarutobi's Office
As Naruto and his Anbu escort arrived he saw teammate's and sensei in their pajamas, he would've laughed, but he wasn't any better himself.
Once they were together the Hokage swirled the back of his cair to meet them eye-to-eye, "I'll make this it brief, two days ago, Team Eight received a C-ranked mission to escort a bridge-builder to the Wave Country. Supposedly, the only dangers were supposed to be bandits and thieves...however, they were intercepted by two Chuunin-ranked Missing-nin known as The Demon Brothers from The Village Hidden in the Mist on the way there, bumping the mission up to at least a B-rank. Kurenai and her team were able to fend them off rather easily, however..." the man paused letting the information sink in.
"Upon reaching Wave Country itself, they were intercepted by a Jounin level Missing-nin from Mist by the name of Zabuza Momochi, as well as his apprentice-" he stopped when he saw Naruto tense up a little bit, "We don't know the specifics, but shortly after dusk yesterday, a message was delivered by summoned carrier pigeon that stated that Kurenai and her team had been defeated, although apparently, all of them survived, and Kurenai was able to fend off Zabuza. We aren't exactly sure what's going on now, but we do know that she asked for reinforcements in the letter, and I am sending you four as those reinforcements."
"This is a B-ranked mission. If it weren't for the fact that I don't have anyone else to send, you wouldn't even be considered for this mission. If anything, the only reason that you four are going along, is to rescue Team Eight, and bring them home. Do not engage anyone working under Zabuza and his employer. I will ask you this only once, and all four of you must be in complete agreement. Do you want this mission?"
"We are the only people available, right? If we don't go, who will? My comrades are in danger, and you're asking us if we want to go? If the team doesn't go then I will go by myself." Naruto said without room for argument.
Kakashi couldn't hold back a slight smile of pride as he heard Naruto's thoughts. Even though the teen was trained under one of the most dangerous, and cruelest men in the Bingo Book, -which the Hokage informed him and him alone- he was alright. And with that statement he pretty much convinced the entire team to join in on the mission. Because Sasuke would take this as a challenge, and Sakura would follow him like a lost puppy.
"You leave in three hours, and Kakashi you better show up on time. Or I'll make you only do D-ranked missions for the next five years." Sarutobi threatened making the Jounin nod in understanding.
Three Hours Later
Team Seven met each other at the village gates, however they were waiting for one person; Naruto. After about ten minutes they could see the form of the blond. This was odd to the three ninja as Naruto was never late for a mission. He was usually the one waiting for the rest of the team.
What they found even stranger was what was on Naruto's back. It was a ceremonial dagger attached on the back of his waist, and a red kanji symbol for Chosen One on his upper back.
"Naruto where are your supplies?" Kakashi asked causing Sasuke to grin.
"Couldn't even get prepared for a real mission Naruto?" he asked in a cocky tone
Naruto pulled a small scroll from the sleeve of his yukata, "I sealed everything away so it wouldn't interfere with anything." he stated, causing the Uchiha to frown.
"Good thinking Naruto, alright team let's head out." Kakashi announced before they left
A few hours later Team Seven was making excellent time, it was nearly three hours ago they left their village. And already they were halfway to their destination. However once they landed for a fifteen minute break a Leaf messenger bird, landed near Kakashi. Untying the message on the birds back the Copycat-Ninja started reading it, his lone eye narrowing with every word.
"Kakashi-sensei what does it say?" Sakura asked after seeing his eye narrow to a near impossable angle.
"This is not good." he sighed after he burned it.
"What?"
"It appears that Gato is Zabuza's employer. And that he has hired more ninja to take Zabuza's place for the time being, so the Hokage sent two other ninja to help us, and that this mission has been upgraded to a A-ranked mission."
"That's it?" Sasuke asked.
"No, the letter says that he has hired over a thousand mercenaries and bandits. And even more bad news. there are five major camps, and we are approaching one of them. Our new orders are to are to secure the safety of Team Eight destroy them the bandit camp, and anyone working under Gato."
Sakura looked at her sensei as if he were an abomination of nature. "Destroy it? Sensei, are you out of your mind?"
Naruto gave her a hard glare, "Sakura we are ninja, our job is to kill...they are nothing but mercenaries and bandits."
Having nothing to retort with, Sakura just turned his head to the side and scowled.
Kakashi only sighed once again, "I'm guessing that there are probably around three-hundred mercenaries in that camp. For a Jounin, and three well-trained Genin, this shouldn't be too much of a challenge to handle, assuming we plan well. Don't worry I've done this before."
"We'll strike at night when they are most vulnerable." Naruto agreed.
Later around midnight the group took a look at the camp for the first time. It was a dump. It was a large expanse of tents, cooking fires, bandits and mercenaries that went on for probably close to a mile. The men were milling about contentedly and haphazardly, some of them passed out drunk, others biting into large portions of food.
"Huh, I'm surprised that there aren't any women in the camp." Kakashi sighed with relief.
"What do you mean by that sensei?" Sasuke asked.
"Usually most camps like this these men have women to fuck with. I guess luck is on our side tonight." Naruto replied much to Sakura's horrorified look.
"Alright Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura I want you to stay outside of this camp and kill any stranglers." Kakashi ordered.
"Actually sensei I'm going with you." Naruto whispered next to his sensei.
"No Naruto you can't-"
"I'll make some shadow clones to cover my post. Besides I need to get some exercise if you know what I mean." Naruto said, hoping that Sakura and Sasuke didn't hear them; they didn't.
"Fine just be quick about it. Alright we strike in fifteen minutes." Kakashi agreed, but couldn't help but wonder how his student knew the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Nearly fifteen minutes later Naruto and Kakashi made a ball of exploding tags, and threw them into the camp. One of them landed in the middle of the mercenaries, causing the drunk and woefully off-guard men some panic. A few seconds later a deafening boom shook the ground. That was when Naruto and Kakashi made their move, Kakashi took the right side of the camp while Naruto took the left.
Naruto came at one bandit with a katana in each hand, and stabbed him in the head. Turning around he brought his sword down across a man's back at a diagonal pitch, causing blood to spray from the man's wound. It had been deep enough that the man would probably have bled out. He saw a bandit fleeing, and wouldn't allow it, so with a grimance for what he was about to do he threw one of his katana's at the man and watched it dig into his neck.
Finding another, he readied his remaining katana and slashed horizontally, cleaving the man in two. He turned back and watched as a bandit took his katana from the neck of the one he killed. This set Naruto into a spiral of anger that this bastard was even touching his weapon. He ran at the man with his immense speed, swung his sword and cleanly decapitated the bastard. Another mercenary charged him head on, seeing his buddys death. He brought his sword down horizontally, however the blond retrieved his katana and crossed them in front of him blocking the strike. In the blink of an eye, he brought them together breaking the sword in half like scissors cutting into paper, and the man was impaled swiftly through the heart.
While this was happening Sakura strayed from the boundary line, and now she was wishing she didn't. For the last ten minutes he was watching both her sensei and teammate commit this massacre. Now she knew Kakashi fought in the Third Great Shinobi War, and killed plenty of people over his lifetime. However he was a Jounin so she didn't have a problem with that, but Naruto was a Genin and he was killing men left and right like he has done this over a thousand times.
It made her sick to her stomach seeing someone the same age as her commit this atrocity.
While she was lost in her thoughts, she never heard the sounds of foot steps approach her until it was too late. A giant hand clamped around her mouth and dragged her away at least thirty few feet from the doomed camp, until she came upon a group of twenty bandits.
"Hehe so this is one of the shinobi attacking our camp?" one of them laughed.
"No this is what they call a kunoichi, but it doesn't look like she is a threat." another one agreed.
"I hope she is a virgin." the last one said making them all agree on that.
'They're going to rape me no, Sasuke-kun save me.' Sakura thought frantically with tears running down her eyes. The men were about to run away with her from the dying camp, but they were then impaled by...tree roots?
The mercenary who was holding Sakura captive looked around for the attacker, until he was ensnared by several tree roots. He then came face-to-face with a brown-haired man wearing black cargo pants, sandals, and gray armor. The back and front of his chest and thighs were armored perfectly, and bracers extended over the back of his hand and up to his fingers so as to give his hands some protection. They attached to a pair of black fingerless leather gloves that kept the piece of armor securely fastened to his hand and arm. On his back was a katana, and he was wearing a white mask that was shaped like a tiger with red tiger whiskers on it, but on his left shoulder was a red tattoo indicating that he was part of the Anbu.
"Hello kunoichi-san you want to deal the finishing blow?" the Anbu asked, only to see that Sakura had fainted, "Oh well more fun for me." he shrugged as he unsheathed his standard Anbu katana, and chopped the bandits head off.
Meanwhile Sasuke was doing what exactly Kakashi told him to. So far he already killed five stragglers, and he was doing a very good job. He took out a kunai when he spotted his next victim, only for a shuriken to fly into the mans skull. He turned around to see a purple-haired Anbu women wearing a white cat mask.
"Am I late for the party?" she asked.
"No it's just starting." he replied, reading his kunai and threw at another straggler.
Back to Naruto he was cutting men down left and right. After impaling trough two mercenaries at the same time, a group of fifty huge men blocked his path.
"Heh, this might be a tough one, might as well step it up a notch." he said as he brought his two katana's together creating one handle, an hilt, but instead of one there were two blades.
The mercenaries and bandits smirked as they saw the blade, and thought it would be worth a fortune. Their thoughts were cut short when the teen simply disappeared. They wondered where he went, their questions were answers when they screamed and fell, headless, cut in half, missing legs and arms cut at their arteries, or cut into pieces. The dead bandits fell to the ground with a thump, and the only thing that could be seen at the slaughter were footprints deeply embedded into the earth.
Falling to one knee and panting like he ran in a marathon Naruto turned around, and saw that every enemy around him were all dead. He saw his sensei standing a few yards behind him, giving him what he thought was a thumbs up. A few minutes later he saw a male Anbu operative carrying an unconscious Sakura, and Sasuke following a purple-haired Anbu women.
"Ahh Neko and Tenzo, I didn't expect you two to be our reinforcements." Kakashi greeted the two Anbu members.
"Hey Kakashi-sempai, when Hokage-sama told us about your mission I just couldn't stay there and do nothing. And call us by our names the Hokage said it was okay just this once." the man known as Tenzo greeted his superior, before he placed Sakura on the ground, jolting her awake.
"Naruto!" the newly awakened Sakura called out interrupting the conversation.
"What do you want?" the blond asked his annoying teammate.
"I saw what you did, how could you do that to someone like you did earlier?" she asked with Naruto sighing before looking at her.
"Sakura we are ninja which means we have to kill eventually." he casually replied with the adults silently agreeing with him.
"But thay were other human beings who's life you took! Yet you were so emotionless when you did it. How could you act that while taking someone else's life?" Sakura demanded getting a dark chuckle from Tenzo.
"Kunochi-san there are people in this world that love nothing more then to do this kind of business. Or did you already forget that you were nearly raped not more than five minutes ago?" Tenzo asked asked seeing Sakura turn green.
"Alright Yamato that's enough, so Yuugao how are you doing?" Kakashi asked to woman who was once under his command
Howeve Yuugao didn't answer, because she was too busy looking at Naruto's interesting weapons. "Naruto-san are those what I think they are?" she asked.
"Yes they are the Renbato (Repeater), Mugenjin (Unlimited Blade), Kami's dagger (Gods dagger), and the Kiku Ichimonji Norimune ( Crest of January )."
"But what about-"
"Every ninja has his secrets, so please keep it to yourself." Naruto said slinging the combined Renbato blade over his shoulder, and turning away from them.
"Where are you going?" Yamato asked.
"Well if you haven't noticed I'm all bloody. So I'm going to bathe in the river to clean myself, along with my blades, and my clothes."
A few minutes after he left Kakashi asked the question that was bugging him. "Yuugao what was that about?"
"Kakashi you didn't know?" Yuugao gasped out in surprise.
"Know what?" the masked Jounin asked now really confused.
"Those weapons Naruto-san has are worth a fortune! He's practically carrying a quarter billion dollars on his sash!"
"You've been reading Sword Fortune with Hayate again haven't you?" Kakashi sweat-dropped hearing that.
Twenty minutes later Naruto came back clean as a whistlem but he was getting a little weirded out. Yuugao looked like she wanted to jump him -not sexually thank goodness-, Sasuke was glaring at him, Kakashi was eye-smiling him, Sakura was now very green, and Yamato was just staring at him for no reason at all if other than to annoy him.
"What the fuck are y'all looking at?" he asked.
"Naruto we got a prisoner; the leader of camp." Kakashi said plainly.
"And what do you want me to do about it?"
"Well...we were wondering if you could interrogate him? Because we're just trained to eliminate our enemies, not interrogate them. " Yamato said sheepishly. It was unfortunately true he and Yuugao both signed up for the killing classes when they joined the Anbu. Because frankly in his opinion he honestly didn't think he would deal with prisoners on missions.
"Just because can I kill with out remorse, you think I can just torture somebody?" the blond asked making the three look ashamed off themselves, "Of course I'll do it." he continued making them face-fault.
"But should I let those two watch?" he asked pointing at Sasuke and Sakura.
"It doesn't matter." Kakashi answered.
"Then lead me to the bastard."
A minute later everyone went into the main tent were Naruto saw the pathetic excuse for a man, he was tied securely in a chair. He was bald and fat ugly bastard that wore animal pelts as clothing.
"Alright stand back." Naruto ordered them as he walked up the the man who glared at him, "Okay I'll start out slowly, what is your name?" he asked the man.
"Fuck you!" the man spat at him.
Whipping the spit off his face he said, "Wrong answer." he then asked Kakashi for a kunai, his perverted sensei tossed him one a second later. Then without hesitation Naruto stabbed the mans left index finger off. Making him scream in pain.
"I repeat what is your name?"
"Go suck a dick cocksucker!" the man yelled resulting in his middle finger getting cut off.
"What is your name?" Naruto asked again, when the man didn't answer he stabbed through his right hand.
"Gahh! Touji! My name is Touji!"
"Now was that so hard? Now for a harder question where are the four other camps?" the blond asked.
"Never!"
"You must love pain then." the Kyuubi jinchuriki sighed as he took his kunai and carved the mans left eye out.
The five witnesses watched the gruesom scene with a varation of shock and horror. Kakashi was no saint in the shinobi arts, but he always found the art of torture out of his league. Simply because he couldn't stomach the idea of torturing the man without it keeping him up at night. While the two Anbu members were grateful that they had their masks on, they saw various forms of interrorgation over their years. But this was just terrible not even Ibiki did something like this, the giant man used mental torture to get his info out of his victims, while Anko used physical torture like cutting the skin or pricking them with needles over and over again, and if that failed Inochi used his clans jutsu to retreve the persons memories.
But none of the interrogators used Naruto's methods.
Meanwhile both the Genin were doing their best to keep their composure. Sasuke's eyes were wide open in absolute horror, because Naruto was acting just like his brother the day of the massacre. Sakura finally broke down, threw up, and covered her ears to keep the screams away.
After pulling the mans eyeball out, and squishing it with his bare hand Naruto asked the question again. The man finally spilled his guts, "Three are surrounding Wave Country. The fourth is in the city."
"Are there any women in the camps surrounding Wave?" Naruto asked fingering the kunai.
"No just in the town where we have our fun." the man grinned...until Naruto plunged the kunai into his groin area, effectfully castrated him, making the men put their hands over their "packages".
"OWWW! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR? I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION!" Touji cried out in pain and the loss of his "friends".
"You were thinking with your dick, and not with your head. Now another question, how many ninja has Gato hired?" Naruto demanded after wiping the poor kunai on the mans outfit.
"Twenty-five not including Zabuza, his apprentice, and The Demon Brothers." the weeping man cried out.
"What villages are they from?"
"Ten are from The Hidden Rain Village, fifteen from The Village Hidden in The Stones." Touji said making Naruto's eyes widen for a brief second.
"My last question where is Gato?" he spat the mans name with venom.
"I'm not going to tell you! No matter what so you should just kill me now!" Touji screamed seeing he had noting else to live for.
"I'll just do that." Naruto complied as he dragged the man by his hair outside. A minute later he brought the man over to a tree, not noticing the five people following him Naruto executed the man in the most brutal way possible.
Naruto tore the man from the chair and slammed him against the tree. Seeing the man was stunned he broke both his kneecaps in, and then he threw the man to the ground. He grabbed the mans arms, put his right foot on his back, and pulled on them until they broke with a sickening snap. The man screamed out in bloody murder as Naruto pulled again ripping his arms off, and beat him with them for thirty seconds. Naruto then took out a kunai and cut the mans stomach open, he tore out his intestines and put it around his neck and hung him on the tree. Seeing the man strangling to death Naruto went through some hand seals and yelled out, "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!" as the large dragon made of fire shot out of his mouth and impacted the tree. The fire quickly spread from the impact point to Touji, his dying screams rang throughout the camp.
Naruto turned towards his five horrified comrades.
The fire in the background making him look like the devil himself.
Armageddon: Hey everyone I'm just here to clear some things up. Now some of you are wondering why I didn't focus on Kakashi fighting, that's simple I didn't want to this is about Naruto not anyone else. For the dagger well Anji didn't really name it so I gave it a name. And for Sakura's mom's new name...well I recently purchased a Japanese to English translation book and found that name much more suitable.
