Immortal Born
Disclaimer: I dont own anything except my story.
Naruto had been in quite the predicament ever since that day.
He felt himself slipping back into his old self, but e couldnt let that happen unless he had control of his power or finished his project.
Naruto felt the ground start to shake, he sighed and tried reining in his frustration.
Finally getting it under control aftera few moments, he went backto work on his project.
It was whil this was happening that naruto came up with another idea.
Why not just ask the old man for some time off.
Naruto sealed up his things andstarted making his way to the hokage's office.
Hokage's Office
Hiruzen was speaking with kurenai about naruto's behavior lately.
"Hokage-sama, Im concerned for naruto. He hasn't been himself lately and I fear that he may quit being a shinobi" said kurenai with worry, she may have hated needless killing but the kid had grown on her.
"Kurenai you have nothing to fear, naruto will not quit being a shinobi" just as he said that he recieved a knock on his door.
"Come in" said hiruzen
Opening the door in walked naruto.
"Hello naruto what brings you to my office today" asked hiruzen kindly.
"Old man, I would like to request some time off" said naruto professionaly
Hiruzen and kurenai were in shock.
Hiruzen because he feared kurenai was right, and kurenai because she felt that she was partially the cause.
"Why would you need time off, you just started" said hiruzen trying to ru some damage control and maybe dissuade naruto.
"I need to get control over all of my power" naruto said
"Naruto you already have excellent controlover your power" said hiruzen not understanding why naruto wanted to get better control of his power.
"No I dont I have almost all my true power sealed away as not to harm the things around me" explained naruto
Hiruzen sat there shocked for awhile.
"What do you mean you have almost all of your true power sealed" demanded hiruzen
"Just that, I have almost all of my true power sealed away because I cant control it"said naruto
"Naruto why didnt you say something before now" asked kurenai
"Back then I could keep my self under control, now though my old self is starting to awaken and I am fighting a losing battle" said naruto with a hint of sadness
"Naruto I will grant you some time off" said hiruzen tiredly
"But I want you back on duty for the exams, I will take you to a special place that hasn't been used since the shodaime. It will be your training area until then" said hiruzen resignition
"Hokage-sama before he leaves I would like to request a C-rank mission" said kurenai hastily
"Why is that kurenai" asked hiruzen
"Just to better their teamwork a littleand give them time to say goodbye" kurenai said calmly
"Fine, Team seven is in need of reenforcements. Be ready to leave in a few minutes" said hiruzen
"Do I get a say in this" naruto asked angry at kurenai
His anger was clear as the room began heating up.
"Im sorry naruto but kurenai has brought up some good points" said hiruzen
"She is lying though, she is only going try to convince me to stay on the team and not go on my leave" said naruto anger steadily rising.
Naruto realizing what was happening slowly reined in his anger until the heat was barable
Kurenai was a little surprised that she found out so easily but didnt let it deter her.
"Naruto you are going and that is final" said hiruzen steely
Naruto stared hard for a few seconds before he just turned away and walked away but not before leaving a message for them.
"If there is no one for me to kill then I will kill you kurenai, for your betrayal old man dont expect me to save you when you need it most" and with those parting words naruto was gone.
With naruto
Naruto didn'tknow why he made the threat but he theorized that his control was waring away.
Naruto just sighed before packing for his mission.
Front gate
Naruto had arrived at the gate at the designated time and just walked past his team, but shortly after he picked up the pace and was going at ninja speeds.
Seeing this the rest of team eight began running at high speeds to catch up.
Wave
Naruto and the rest of team eight had arrived at the campsite of team seven.
"Hurry up give me the reading on the situation that way I can get this done and get back to training" naruto said with impatience.
"We were attacked by the demon brothers, two C-ranked missing nin that are known to work under zabuza momochi A-ranked missing nin. After learning this we sent for back up and now here you are." said kakashi
Naruto just nodded and went to a aprt of the camp that didnt have anybody else.
Seeing kurenai walk up, kakashi decided to ask.
"Why is he a bad mood" asked kakashi
"I forced him onto this mission to convince him to stay on the team instead of taking time off to train" said kurenai
"Why" was all kakashi asked
"Because I am supposed to be his sensei and teach him, but I havent been able to help him at all. The only hope I have of being able to teach him anything is for anko to return from her mission." said kurenaiwith a feeling of failure
"Kurenai, naruto knows enough about the ninja arts to give hokage-sama a run for his money, he doesn't need a sensei, he needs to train to better control himself" said kakashi sagely
Kurenai stood there thinking before she walked away to keep her thoughts to herself.
Shina went and sat by naruto and looped arms with him.
"Naruto-kun whats wrong" asked shina worried
"Its that insufferable sensei of ours, she is hell bent on keeping me from controlling my power" said naruto disdainfully
Shina frowned at that.
"What do you mean" asked shina
"I asked for time off to control my power or at least finish my project" said naruto calmly
Shina hearing this just hugged his arma little tighter before asking.
"Would you come back to the team" shina asked worriedly
"Of course, its just I can't use my full power unless I have perfect control of it" said naruto soothingly
Shina nodded and leaned into naruto's body, naruto feeling this felt his power slip slightly at the contact, trying his best to stay in control he hugged her to him.
Twas a shame that this moment couldnt last, for soon enough sasuki, hinata, and kira had interrupted them.
"Naruto why didnt you come sit with me" asked kira
"Hey you know that you should be equally close to both of your teammates" said hinata
"You want to come and train with me" asked sasuki
"I think I need to go to sleep" said naruto rushing off
Naruto mind/soulscape
"Naruto we got to talk" nightmare said
"What is it" naruto asked dejectedly
"It's the shinju, it seems that I can absorb it but I figured with your current issues conerning controllong your power that I should ask you" said nightmare
"So you found it finally, why couldn't I have found it earlier at that time" said naruto
Flashback
"Nightmare" said naruto in a confident and amused tone
"What is it kid" nightmare asked
"You remember that I have the shinju in me right?" naruto asked still in a extremely amused tone.
"Yeah what about it kid" asked nightmare suspiciously
"I want you to absorb it so I can gain its power, I could become immortal and you wouldnt have to go back to the shinigami's stomach" said naruto schemingly
Nightmare finally getting the plan let a devious grin grace his face.
"Kid, dont worry I will find it if its here" said nightmare approvingly
Naruto merely nodded and laughed maniacally.
Flashback end
"I know what you mean kid, but its better now than never, so what do you want to do" asked nightmare
"Absorb it" was all naruto said before he let out one of his old grins of confidence and amusement
Outside mind/soulscape
Everyone felt a massive power spike and went to see where it was coming from.
Running to the source they came up on naruto in a meditative stance.
Kurenai immediately went to draw him out of his trance.
Naruto upon waking up frowned at who he saw.
"What do you want kurenai-san" naruto asked as his power continued to grow
"What are you doing" kurenai asked nervously
"Trying to gain control of my power" naruto lied smoothly
Kurenai upon hearing this started to regret her decision of trying to keep him from taking time off.
"Now leave that way I can seal it away for now" naruto said becoming his calm self
Kurenai was torn between wanting to stay and make sure her student was alright, and leaving to give him privacy.
"I said leave" naruto said in a very nightmarish voice failing to regain his control
The genin left immediately with kakashi.
Naruto decided he would ignore his sensei standing there.
Quickly unsealing his project's prototype, revealing a pair of gloves with seals on them, slipping them on as fast as he could he said a small incantation.
Power of a god, seal lvl 4
Wrath of a devil, seal lvl 3
Compassion of a saint, seal lvl 2
Spirit of man, seal lvl 1
As he spoke the final phrase the massive amounts of power that was pouring off of him, suddenly vanished.
"Interesting it seems that the old legend was true after all" naruto said ignoring kurenai
"What did you do" kurenai asked
Naruto just ignored her and walked back to the camp, no one ever noticed the amused look on his face.
Okay guys thats the end for now but it seems that naruto is back or is it something else that has put that lookon his face.
