Danget: Thank you.
Wolfpackersson09: I will consider the advice for the girls. As for the Belmont, read on.
kazikamikaze24: It's something similar to that.
Victoriousvillain: I'll try not to, though I haven't decided what Sasuke's fate will be.
Volos: Yugao seems likely, I could work in a way to introduce her to the harem, but I'm not so sure about Mei, since she is a Kage.
gohan90: Sakura's worse than canon? All she's done is hit Naruto for telling a (Allegedly) made-up story while on a mission and ask Naruto about his newfound abilities, aside from that, by the time she does join the harem, she will have grown out of her habit of hitting Naruto for the pettiest of things.
Tenten is teaching Naruto Taijutsu (Which she should know since she is a student of Might Guy) just to so he can use his Cestus-type weapons to better effect. Do keep in mind that she will not be showing him any guy's secrets and techniques, nor will Naruto become super amazing. Haku is just training with Naruto and Tenten, not teaching him anything.
As for Naruto telling Hinata and Tenten, Naruto had decided that it would be better if they had heard about the Kyuubi and the Power of Dominance from his mouth rather than some biased villager or ninja in case they had decided to ask around.
Chapter 3: Yoko Belnades.
After their Taijutsu match, Naruto and Hinata watched Tenten and Haku spar with each other for bit of before before heading to Ichiraku's for dinner. During which, Naruto found out Team 7 wasn't the only one who fought monsters.
"You mean Shikamaru, Chouji and Ino also encountered monsters?" Naruto asked, after they sat down and ordered their ramen.
Hinata nodded. "They were on a C-Ranked mission to clear out some bandits that taken residence in an abandoned compound, but the bandits turned out to be living suits of armor that attacked with spears, axes and bombs, along with some skeletons."
Tenten told them about how her team were attacked by zombies, golems and skeletons while escorting a merchant, and Hinata said that Team 8 was guarding a caravan when they encountered zombies, treants and bats.
"Are they okay?" Naruto asked.
"They are Naruto-kun," Hinata answered. "In fact, I saw them-"
"Oh yeah? With the new diet I'm on, Sasuke-kun will love me!" Someone with a loud and obnoxious voice shouted.
"You baka, we're shinobi! We don't need to diet!" Someone else argued.
The four Genin and three Chunin looked outside the stand to see a purple-haired Genin arguing with Ino.
"Oh, I see, since you've been put on that team, you're no longer interested in Sasuke-kun!" Said the purple-haired girl. "I guess it makes sense considering who your team mates are!"
The customers at Ichiraku's spotted Shikamaru and Chouji coming into view.
"She's not gonna say it with him so close?" Naruto asked.
"Leave them alone Ami!" Ino argued, but the purple-haired girl didn't listen.
"Figures you say that," Said Ami. "Since you're probably throwing yourself at Lazybones and his fat-"
"FAT?" Chouji shouted in anger, eyes locking onto Ami and going through handsigns as villagers evacuated the street. Ino spotted Ichiraku's and made a break for the stand.
"She said it." All the customers, except Haku, said in deadpanned unison.
"Human Bullet Tank!" Chouji shouted, expanding into a giant ball and rolled towards Ami, who ran for her life, screaming.
"Troublesome." Was all Shikamaru said as he watched the scene unfold.
Three weeks later. . .
Team 7 parted on another C-Rank mission alongside Teams 8 and 10 (Due to concerns about the monsters by Iruka, and some Jonin senseis, Genin teams are now working in groups of two or three teams), this time to meet with Yoko Belnades. Apparently, the appearance of monsters means that Dracula is returning, and as a result, the council have chosen Sasuke to wield the Vampire Killer whip to fight Dracula, and he was being given lessons to wield the whip. However, Konoha is unable to unlock the power of the Vampire Killer, and they had searched for someone who could. Fortunately, Genya did know someone who could unlock it, who turned out to be Yoko. He contacted her, and while see agreed to unlock the whip, she wanted Sasuke to prove to her that he was ready for the whip by clearing out a mansion that became populated by monsters.
When the three teams found the mansion, they found four people waiting for them at the gate. One was a woman with blonde hair, wearing a black sweater, black pants and black high heels, a red sleeveless jacket and a white belt. Another was a girl the same age as the Genin, who had brown hair, red shoes, blue stockings, a short blue skirt, a white T-shirt that was striped, a short blue cape, and a small red tie, and she carried a book. The next was a boy with blonde hair, about two years older than the Genin who wore a blue shirt, blue pants, black boots, a black belt that held some kunai, a sleeveless red coat, small black should guards, and some red wrist guards. The last one was a man that was older than the others. He had brown hair that was in a ponytail and a beard, he wore brown boots, blue pants, a yellow shirt, red bandana and a brown duster, making the man look a cowboy.
"Yoko Belnades?" Kakashi asked the blonde woman.
Yoko nodded. "And you're Kakashi, right?" She asked.
Kakashi nodded, and then gestured to Sasuke. "And that's Sasuke."
"Hn." Was all Sasuke said.
'He's certainly the talkative type.' Yoko thought to herself. "What about the rest of your team, and the two teams with you?"
After Naruto, Sakura and Haku were introduced, along with Team 8 and Team 10, the three with Yoko introduced themselves.
"I'm Jonathan." Said the boy.
"I'm Charlotte." Said the girl.
"Call me J." Said the man.
With that, the group had stepped onto the mansion grounds. Near the front door of the mansion, there were some skeletons, zombies, and some knights in yellow armor wielding an axe. Sasuke threw some shuriken at the zombies, taking them down. Jonathan and Naruto pulled out their short swords and moved to deal with the skeletons and the knight. While Jonathan hacked the skeletons to pieces, Naruto advanced on the knight, who threw its axe at Naruto. Naruto sidestepped the axe, and watched it return to the knight like a boomerang, he then closed the distance and began slashing the knight. The knight attempted to slash him with his axe, but Naruto jumped away when it did, and hit it with one more slash. The knight shuddered, dropping his axe before it collapsed into pieces. Naruto then staggered back as a bone hit him in the stomach. When he saw the skeleton who threw it, he retaliated by throwing two bones at it, destroying it. He moved onto the next skeleton and cut it down, but the last one had been dealt with by Jonathan, who had dealt with the other skeletons. Naruto opened the front door and looked inside, and spotting that it was empty, walked in, followed by the Jonathan and the teams.
"We have alot of ground to cover, so it might be best if we split up." Said Kakashi. "Kurenai, you and Team 8 take the western a half of the first floor, Asuma, you take the eastern half. My team will take the second floor."
"Jonathan, go with Kurenai's Team, Charlotte, you go with Asuma's team." Yoko told the two kids. "I'll go with Team 7."
"I'll scour the grounds around the mansion." Said J.
After the teams had split up, Naruto found himself walking next to Haku, Yoko behind him and Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura ahead of him. While walking down the hallway some large bats swooped at them, revealing the red undersides of their wings, only to burst into flames after being struck by kunai thrown by Sasuke and Kakashi, and some ice senbon thrown by Haku. Entering the first door they saw, they found themselves in an art gallery. There were a few Axe Armors, skeletons, Armor Knights, and some knights in orange armor that carried bombs.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Sasuke shouted, launching a fireball at the monsters, destroying the skeletons and wounding the armors. The knight with the bomb threw one at the group, who got away before it blew up.
Naruto fired a few jets of water at the bomb-throwing Knight, and watched it shudder and drop it's bomb, blowing itself to pieces. Pulling out his short sword, Naruto rushed one of the Axe Knights and finished it with a slash. As soon as the knight shuddered, a red soul flew out, and went into Naruto.
Haku took down an Axe Armor by peppering it with senbon, and turned her attention to the three Armor Knights approaching her, only for Sasuke finish them off with another Fireball Jutsu.
"This room is clear, let's move onto the next one." Said Kakashi.
After leaving the art gallery, Team 7 and Yoko headed for the next room, and encountered another Axe Armor, along with some bats that swooped at the group.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu!" Sasuke fired a volley of small fireballs at the bats and the Axe Armor, destroying some of the bats, and hurting the Axe Armor. Naruto tossed an axe at the rest of the bats, finishing them off and gaining a blue soul from one of them, while Sasuke finished off the Axe Armor with a Great Fireball Jutsu. They entered the next room, which was a library. The sounds of a large boar snorting and bones rattling could be heard.
"Why don't we split up and search the aisles for any monsters?" Yoko suggested.
"I'll go with Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said, grabbing his arm.
"Hn." Was all Sasuke said as he yanked his arm out of her grasp.
The five had split up, scouring the library for monsters. Naruto encountered a Bomber Armor, and a large pig-man with muscular arms. Naruto pulled out his short sword and slashed the Armor, dodging the thrown bomb. The pig-man raised it's head up, and shot a fireball out of it's snout that arced through the air towards Naruto, who barely dodged it. Naruto slashed the Bomber Armor, again, killing the armor, and gaining a red soul from it, then he started to slash the pig-man. The pig-man punched Naruto, sending to the ground a few feet away.
'He punches almost as hard as Sakura-chan.' Naruto thought as he got up, and dove away from another fireball before rushing the pig-man and slashing it again. The pig-man had finally knelt down, fading away in flames. He saw Sasuke and Sakura pass the aisle, only to hear Sakura shout "Sasuke-kun, what's that?" Naruto rushed out of the aisle, and joined his team mates with his sword ready to strike the enemy. The noise of bones rattling was close, in one of the aisles. Sasuke pulled out a kunai. A skull rolled out of the aisle, rattling along the ground, followed by a headless skeleton who ran after it, and kicked it farther ahead, continuing to chase it.
Sasuke lowered his kunai. "That's what it is?" He asked. "A stupid skeleton that's chasing its head? I can't believe I got worked up over that!"
As if hearing what Sasuke said about it, the headless skeleton kicked the skull like a soccer ball, hitting Sasuke in the head.
"Ow! How dare you!" Sasuke shouted, throwing a kunai at the skull, destroying it. "I'll find something that's more of a chal-ACK!"
The skeleton, pissed that Sasuke destroyed it's head, had tackled Sasuke and was now trying to strangle him. Naruto, struck the skeleton with his sword, destroying it. Putting his sword away, Naruto watched Sakura help Sasuke up before continuing to search the library for monsters.
Sasuke watched Naruto walk away, jealous of his new weapon and his new powers. Watching Naruto disappear from his view at the last aisle, he looked at Sakura.
"Sakura, you better stay back." He told her.
"R-really?" Sakura asked. 'Sasuke-kun is actually worried about me?'
Sasuke nodded. Sakura let out a squee.
"Stupid fangirl." Sasuke muttered as he went to spy on Naruto, who was in a larger aisle that held some tables, a hole in the floor, and he fighting an axe throwing knight with a rapier. Going into the aisle before it, and then he gave the shelf separating him and Naruto a powerful kick, unaware of someone watching him.
Naruto had finished off the Axe Armor and he was about to fight the Yorick nearby when he heard a light thud and saw the shelf falling. Naruto looked to the hole in the floor and made a break for it, abandoning the headless skeleton. leaping into the hole, Naruto found himself between two Slaughterers, while a thud could be heard at the shelf hit the ground. Oh well, better fighting two pig-men at once then getting crushed by a shelf. Ducking a punch by one of the Slaughterers, Naruto threw an axe at it, then stabbed it with his rapier before dodging a fireball from the other Slaughterer and then finishing with two more stabs. Turning his attention to the other Slaughterer, Naruto threw two axes at it, then struck it with his rapier. As it burned away, a red soul came out and flew into Naruto just before Team 10 and Charlotte burst in.
"Naruto, what's going on?" Asuma asked.
"I got separated from my team." He answered, pointing at the hole above and the bookshelf that covered it.
Asuma merely nodded at the explanation. "Come on." He said.
"So Naruto," Shikamaru started while Team 10 and it's two companions walked through the halls of the mansion. "What's with the weapons?"
"It was a suggestion from one of Oji-san's friends." Naruto answered.
"What about that bone you. . . 'threw?'" Shikamaru asked.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"Well, you didn't pull it out of any pouch, nor did you use any hand signs." Shikamaru stated.
"It's part of a Kekkei Genkai that I awoke during my previous C-Rank mission." Naruto lied.
Shikamaru accepted the answer, though he thought that there was more to Naruto's abilities than he was letting on. The team had entered a large dining room, populated by a Slaughterer, some skeletons, Axe Armors and two Bomber Armors. It had a second floor that had walkways circling the large table below it, patrolled by Axe Armors. Naruto noticed the Slaughterer, and threw a bomb at it. The bomb exploded a second after it hit the ground, destroying the Slaughterer. Naruto dodged an axe thrown at him by an Axe Armor on the second floor.
Asuma leapt onto the second floor with his chakra blades drawn and an aura of chakra enveloping them, and started cutting through the Axe Armors like they were nothing.
Naruto pulled out his blunt sword and attacked an Axe Armor, chopping it down and gaining a red soul from it.
'Another Axe Armor soul? I should ask Genya about that.' Naruto thought as he advanced on a skeleton, while seeing some get run over by Chouji.
"Raging Fire!" Charlotte shouted, a stream of fire pouring out of her book and destroying an Axe Armor.
"Naruto, what was that red thing that flew into you?" Shikamaru asked.
Before Naruto could answer, two large swords flew through the window at Asuma, who leapt out of the way before he was skewered. The swords had bronze hilts, cross guards, along with a portion of their blades, which also had runes engraved on them. The swords pushed themselves out of the wall, flying back out the window. The group readied itself for whatever that was outside to attack again, which it did when it smashed through the wall. It was a large red suit of armor with bronze gauntlets with a cape that blew behind its back.
"Everyone, get out!" Asuma told the group while going through hand signs. "Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!" He then sprayed a cloud of gunpowder out of his mouth. Seeing his team get Naruto and Charlotte out of the dining room, Asuma leapt down to the first floor, tossed his cigarette at the gunpowder cloud, and got the hell out of there. Asuma stumbled when the resulting explosion shook the mansion, but he quickly regained his composure and joined his team.
"Back to the main hall," Asuma told them. "We'll go find the other teams and tell them what happened."
When they got there, they saw Team 8 barge through the western doors, probably to ask what that explosion was.
"Hey Asuma, what was with the explosion?" Kakashi asked as he and the rest of Team 7 also entered the main hall.
Before anyone could explain, the Flying Armor crashed through the ceiling, its swords floating around its body.
Kakashi threw several kunai with exploding tags attached. The kunai embedded themselves into the Armor, their tags detonating shortly after and obscuring the Flying Armor.
"Is it dead?" Kiba asked.
His answer came in the form of two swords flying out of the smoke. Naruto created six Shadow Clones, the original and five of the clones pulling out a weapon and charging while the sixth Clone tackled Ino to the ground.
"Naruto you baka!" Ino shouted. "What are you do-" But she stopped when she heard the swords embedded themselves into the wall, noticing that they passed the spot where she previously stood.
Naruto and his weapon-wielding Shadow Clones on the other hand, had leapt into the smoke cloud and hit the Flying Armor with all they had, and the Armor shuddered and fell to pieces, a blue soul flying out and going into him. When the smoke cleared, Naruto saw that the Armor's swords lay on the ground uselessly.
"What?" One of the Shadow Clones next to him asked.
After hunting down the remaining monsters, the teams headed back to Konoha with Yoko, Jonathan, Charlotte and J in tow.
"So Yoko, will you unlock the whip for Sasuke?" Hiruzen asked Yoko after the teams had left.
"Absolutely not." Said Yoko.
"Why?" The Hokage asked.
"Because I saw him try to crush one of his team mates with a bookshelf." Said Yoko.
Hiruzen pondered what to do. Kakashi had written in his report that he had suspected that Sasuke had tried to kill Naruto, and that Yoko may (now confirmed) have witnessed it, but if he had Sasuke removed from Konoha's Ninja force, he would never hear the end of the bitching from the council and the civilians. Also, Sasuke's a special case as the last of the Uchiha Clan, so he has special privileges.
That doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants with no consequence whatsoever.
"I will come up with an appropriate punishment for Sasuke." Hiruzen told her. "However, you will have to tell him that you will not unlock the Vampire Killer, but I should warn you, Sasuke's a little. . . spoiled and arrogant."
"Hiruzen, Sasuke's a Genin." Said Yoko. "I'm sure he's mature enough to handle the fact that he won't get everything."
The next day. . .
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WILL NOT UNLOCK THE WHIP?" Sasuke's loud and whiny voice rang out, shattering windows, upsetting babies and dogs, and temporarily deafening a few people nearby.
'I stand corrected.' Yoko thought to herself. "For starters, you aren't mature enough for it-"
"I am mature!" Sasuke yelled back.
"Which clearly shows that you aren't ready for the responsibilities of the Vampire Killer." Replied Yoko.
Sasuke glared at her. "Now listen here, that whip is the only way I can avenge my clan. You will unlock that whip!" He demanded.
Yoko was about to tell the boy to shove it when J approached them.
"Do it." He said. "Start the ritual. The Vampire Killer will see if he's worthy of wielding it."
Yoko wanted to protest, telling J that that Sasuke was undeserving of the whip, but the look on J's face told her that he knew what he was doing.
"Fine." Yoko said after a sigh. "I'll perform the ritual to unlock the Vampire Killer."
Though the smug look on his face made her want to punch him instead. As soon as he left, she turned to J. "I really hope you know what you're doing."
Ten minutes later. . .
Sasuke stood at Team 7's Training Ground, along with the Sandaime, Yoko, J, and the Civilian Council. In Sasuke's hand was the Vampire Killer.
"I will start the ritual." Yoko told Sasuke. "You will then fight the whip's memory of the previous Belmont who wielded it. Are you ready?"
Sasuke nodded. "Yes. Now start the ritual that will get me closer to the power to destroy my brother and Dracula!"
Yoko uttered an incantation, and the world around Sasuke disappeared in blinding white light. When it disappeared, Sasuke found himself in a twisted version of Konoha, with a red sky and warped buildings. Standing directly across from him was a young man. He had brown hair, a white headband wrapped around his forehead, a blue sleeveless tunic, white pants, brown boots, a belt with a knife holstered, his left wrist was wrapped in bandages, while he wore a leather glove on his right hand, which was also wielding a whip. This whip, instead of leather, was made of chains with a spiked ball at the tip. The man started combat by throwing three knives at Sasuke, who dodged it and began making hand signs.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu!" He shouted, sending small fireballs at the man, however, the man jumped over the fireball and lashed out with his whip, hitting Sasuke.
Sasuke grunted, and tried to throw a punch, only the man to counter with roundhouse kick, and then a tackle, sending him skidding away. Sasuke got up and started another jutsu.
"Fire: Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!" He shouted, blowing a large fireball at the man. The man hit the fireball with his whip, destroying it. He got closer and hit Sasuke with his whip once more, then he threw a cross at Sasuke, bringing him to his knees and then finishing the Uchiha off with another strike from his whip.
Sasuke found himself back in the training ground.
"You failed." J stated.
"Start the ritual again!" Sasuke ordered.
Yoko performed the ritual, and again, Sasuke was beaten by the Whip's Memory. He threw the whip to ground in anger.
"Stupid whip! Let's see you fight me now!" He shouted, planning to incinerate the Vampire Killer. But the moment he made his first hand sign, he found himself knocked to the ground by J.
"What do you think you're doing?" One of the merchants demanded.
"Protecting my clan's whip." J answered as he picked up the Vampire Killer.
"Your whip?" Arukas asked.
"Yes." Said J. In his grip, the whip's appearance had changed from leather to steel chains with a spiked ball at the tip, not to mention that it was now longer than it used to be.
"I am Julius Belmont."
