Chapter 4: Training With the Friends
-x Naruto's House x-
One year has passed and Naruto is now sixteen, him and Iruka have been training every day and he is now at Genin level. He now knew the three basic jutsu, the Leaf village taijutsu style, and the Sand village taijutsu style that he got from one of the scrolls he took. He also had the naginata, scimitar, sai, long bow, cross bow, and short bow all at Chunin level. His chakra control was now up to Jonin level with him being able to control all of his puppets with one finger each.
Today Iruka had given Naruto the day off to work on his puppets and study, saying that there would be a big test coming up tomorrow. Naruto now had six shadow clones working on maintaining his puppets, he already had all of them outfitted with sight seals, hearing seals, and recording seals for said sight and hearing. Naruto now had the clones putting on a new seal he found in one of Chiyo's scrolls, a self destruction seal that would destroy any puppet that would be stolen.
Now while the clones worked on his puppets Naruto was reading another scroll left by Chiyo, this one was about the her teacher and his family. The Monzaemon family had five children, two daughters and three sons one of course being Chikamatsu himself. It was said that the five children had a falling out when the five major hidden villages started, with each one wanting to back up a different village. As we all know Chikamatsu went to the Sand village, while the two girls went to the Mist village and the Cloud village and the other two boys went to the Leaf village and the Rock village.
Naruto was now thinking why he hadn't heard of the other Monzaemon children, and why the puppet arts were not more wide spread. For Naruto knew that most families like to use the same ninja arts, especially bigger clans like the Monzaemon. He fond this out himself while visiting his friends, Tenten and her dad were both weapon experts, Sakura and her mom could easily remember anything they had heard or read, Shikamaru and his clan were not only smart but had their shadow skills, and he heard that Anko's family all specialized in animal related taijutsu.
While Naruto was reading this scroll his clones had finished up on his puppets, dispelling themselves. Having got the memories of his clones, Naruto shot a chakra string from each of his fingers on one hand and one from his pinky on the hand holding the scroll. Connecting to Crow, Black Ant, Salamander, Shadow, Kunoichi, and Sogekihei Naruto started to practice his puppet movements with the slightest of finger movements. He also did this to work on his multitasking that Iruka told him would be a must on the battlefield, if he were to use more than one puppet and keep himself and his team safe.
Having finished the scroll Naruto resealed Crow, Black Ant, and Salamander into their new brown and red scroll. And sealing Shadow, Kunoichi, and Sogekihei into their own group tattoo before heading to bed to rest for his training tomorrow.
-x Hokage's Tour x-
Activating the silencing seals in his office the third Hokage was having a meeting with one of his top spies, Sai. "Sai my young boy what have you brought me today?" The old man asked the stoic boy.
"Well Hokage-Sama Danzo plans to act on tow of his top plans very soon. He is going to contact Uzumaki very soon with an offer to join Root and receive training, and he is going to do the same with Mitarashi-San" Sai said while taking out his note book to start drawing.
Taking a puff of his pipe, the Hokage turned to look out of his window. "Sai, what if they decline his offer, what does Danzo plan to do to them?" The Hokage asked his young spy.
Moving his brush along the paper sai looked up from his pad. "If not he would send all of Root but his top squads after Mitarashi-San to show that he is not to be messed with, he himself would be there to over see the attack. If he was to succeed in taking Mitarashi-San he would try to copy her curse seal to use on his other Root operatives."
"So after he plans on attacking them if they don't come over to his side. Well then that gives us some time. Sai has Danzo suspected you at all on being a spy for me?" The Hokage asked looking worried for the young man.
"No he doesn't suspect a thing Hokage-Sama, every time he makes a more I'm their right beside him. He still thinks that I'm his most loyal tool in taking over the village, he even has me spying on the young Uzumaki and Uchiha boy." Sai said finishing his picture and closing his book.
Smiling at the young boy Sarutobi put down his pipe before speaking. "Ah yes Naruto and Sasuke, so how do those two look to you Sai?" The Hokage asked.
"Well the Uchiha is doing better than I thought for having his whole family killed, even though he is still obsessed with killing his brother I think he may be brought around." Sai said taking a breath, seeing the Hokage smile and nod his head for him to continue he did. "As for Uzumaki well he is a mystery, his ideas for puppets and ingenuity is amazing. As well as his ability to turn people into his friends as seen with Mitarashi-San, yet I still think that he wears a mask most of the time. Not as much of a mask as we have seen but one none the less." Sai said finishing his report.
"Well then Sai thank you for the reports keep an eye on those two for me I have big plans for both of them. You are now free to go report back to Danzo I'm sure he is waiting for you." Sarutobi said before he turned the seals off so Sai could leave.
Getting up Sai put his pad of paper back into his hip pouch before turning to look at the Hokage and bowing. "Have a good night Hokage-Sama, I will see you again at are next meeting. If Danzo plans his attack before then I will send one of my animals to contact you to prepare." Sai said before leaving to meet with Danzo.
'I hope that those kids and Anko will be ready for this, something tells me that Danzo is only going to be the start of a very long and hard journey for all of them.' The Third Hokage thought before going back and creating shadow clones to take care of his worst enemy, paper work.
-x Leaf Village Park x-
Waking up early Naruto decided to take a jog around the village for a warm up before he had to take the test that Iruka was going to give him. About half way through his jog Naruto came up upon one of the villages many parks, yet unlike other parks this one only had two young girls in it, even though Naruto could sense at least two other people watching them he decided to make himself known and try to gain some new friends.
Walking up to the girls Naruto coughed to make himself known, while drawing the peoples attention away from his hand that had unsealed Shadow and Kunoichi just in case. "Hello my name is Naruto." Naruto said before taking each of the girls hands and kissing them.
The older of the two girls then blushed a shade of red that Naruto never seen before in his life. "Hello my name is Hinata, and this is my sister Hanabi" The older one said.
Seeing both of their eyes for the first time Naruto now knew why they had body guards, these two girls were from the famous Hyuuga clan. "Well it's very nice to meet two beautiful ladies like you two out on a fine day like this. Would you mine if I joined you here for a small break from my work out?" Naruto asked.
Seeing her sister was not able to answer Hanabi shook her head and motioned for the young boy to sit down. "So Naruto-Kun, what brings you out so early this morning?" Hanabi asked in a sweet tone, while pushing her sister to sit down on the other side of Naruto.
"Well I woke up early today and saw how beautiful it was outside and decided to take a small run in town before to many people are up, and what brings you and your lovely sister out Hanabi-Chan?" Naruto asked, adding the Chan part to see if she can blush like her sister can.
And just like Naruto planned Hanabi turned the same shade of red that Hinata had turned earlier. "Well Naruto-Kun me and my sister felt like enjoying the park, and smelling the flowers before it became to busy and crowed." Hinata answered while letting out a small giggle at seeing her sister like that.
"So you like flowers Hinata-Chan?" Naruto asked before getting up and walking to the other side of the park and behind a rather large tree, that he knew no one would see him behind even with the Hyuuga's Byakugan active. Unsealing his new orange and black storage scroll Naruto un rolled it before finding the seal for a very rare flower and unsealing two for his new friends. Walking back over to the girls with his hands behind his back Naruto handed them the flowers.
The flowers them selves were a mix of lavender and white in the middle, they were called Kunoichi's kiss because they were used in some of the most potent poisons and antidotes. Seeing this incredibly rare flower both of the girls had a full body blush on them faster than a person could blink. "Wow Naruto-Kun these are so beautiful and so rare. Where did you find them?" Hanabi asked before putting the flower into her long hair, while her sister did the same.
"Well Hanabi-Chan when I went to the Sand village with the Hokage, I found these in an abandoned house. They looked so good that I just couldn't leave them alone so I took them and have been caring for them ever since. And I know with you taking care of them they will grow to look even better, almost as good as both of you do." Naruto said with a fox like smile on him, while moving his fingers in small motions to move his puppets closer to him and the girls.
Having finished putting the flower in her hair, Hanabi started to tap her fingers together in a nervous manner. Seeing her sister get nervous Hinata turned to speak to Naruto. "Thank you Naruto-Kun for your gift, if there is anything that we could do in return we would be glad to do it." She said with a slight bow of her head. "And we do mean anything Naruto-Kun." She added with a wink.
Hearing that got the reaction out of Naruto that both girls wanted, he like themselves just turned a shade of red that no person has ever turn before.
But before he could come back with anything five people dropped down and bowed to the girls. "Hinata-Sama, Hanabi-Sama it is time we head back to the compound, I'm sure that Hiashi-Sama is getting rather worried for when you will return." Who looked like the head of the guard said with a bow. "Naruto-Sama it is a pleasure to meet you, but we must go." He said again before taking the girls and leaving.
'You mean I was just flirting with the two daughters of the head of the Hyuuga clan, oh shit I'm fucked big time now.' Naruto thought, even though the head of the Hyuuga didn't hate him, only the council did he didn't know that yet.
-x Naruto's House x-
Returning home Naruto found Iruka sitting in his favorite chair sipping on some tea waiting for him. "Well Naruto it seems that you had an interesting morning." Iruka said with a grin, before he twirled his tea cup around his finger to avoid a kunai being thrown at it, with out spilling a drop I might add.
"So sensei spying on me know, is you life so boring that you have to spy on mine?" Naruto quipped back at his sensei.
"No I just like to make sure my student isn't causing trouble for the village." Iruka said getting up and messing with Naruto's hair. "Anyway it is time for you to take a test, lets head to the back yard." Iruka said walking in front of Naruto to lead him to where his test was.
Walking outside Naruto was wonder what his test was going to be on today before he was suddenly attacked by Iruka who had a smile on his face and two kunai in his hands. Seeing it was a battle test Naruto quickly created a clone to distract Iruka while unsealing his sais that he kept sealed in his boots, while handing his bows off to another clone so it could hide in a tree and help.
Having dispatched Naruto's shadow clone Iruka went for the real one, slashing his kunai at Naruto's body Iruka was surprised to have them blocked by the sais that Naruto used. Now Iruka knew that Naruto had sais sealed on him, but that wasn't what surprised him. No it was the fact that Naruto was using them instead of his now favored weapons the pair of scimitar that he had Ken make for him.
Seeing that Iruka was surprised with his choice of weapons Naruto signaled for the clone to start shooting arrows at him. So from out of the sky several arrows started to dance past Iruka, but being a master of the blade like he is Iruka just swatted them aside with the modified sword he wore on his back. Now what made this sword special was that it was the size of a normal katana but wider and thicker like a bastard sword with two straight and sharp edges, the handle also had a lion head that looked like it was swallowing the sword, and a elemental seal that he could channel his chakra through.
Looking at Iruka's sword, Ragnarok Naruto knew that it was time to step it up so he pulled out his two scimitars. Assassin a pure black blade that had a seal on it that would trap any one who had it plunged into their shadow, and Apocalypse a dark red blade that had a elemental seal on it like Ragnarok.
After a few minutes of sword fighting finding both in a tied battle between a two masters of their own blades, Iruka jumped back and made several rock clones to make this a bigger battle. Seeing Iruka move on and use clones Naruto first threw up the scroll with Crow, Black Ant, and Salamander in it and unsealed them before unsealing Shadow, Kunoichi, and Sogekihei.
Having Blank Ant and Crow work on the clones with Salamander there to help defend them and get them out if something happens, Naruto sent his other puppets to deal with the real Iruka. Knowing that the clones were rock clones for a reason and would hurt his puppets with just one hit, Naruto used Salamander to push all of the clones back by shooting fire out of a seal in its mouth. When the clones were far enough back Naruto pulled Black Ant up out of where he was hiding it and let it capture all of the clones in it's chest, for Crow and Black Ant to skewer with their limbs in the Black Secret Jutsu Duel Mechanism One Shot.
Back with Iruka and his other puppets, Naruto had to use each to their fullest with out jutsu since he was waiting to finish his team before he made jutsu for any of them. So he put Sogekihei up in a tree to fire arrows using wind chakra to keep Iruka off balance and make him dodge, while focusing on Kunoichi who was using her throwing knife shooter to try and scratch Iruka to paralyze him. While Iruka was dancing around and using Ragnarok to stop anything from hitting him. Shadow this whole time was coming up from behind him and shot out two smoke bombs from his hands before shooting senbon from his pinky's which were for paralyzing senbon into his legs to stop him. Having Iruka stopped Naruto moved Shadow behind while putting one of his scimitars on his neck to signal it was over.
Giving Iruka the antidote Naruto bid him a good night while getting a glare in return for laughing at him before giving him the antidote, before going into his puppet room to work on his newest puppet, the one that he had to order parts for from the Tetsu weapon shop.
This new puppet would be his front line fighter, he was a five ten male with brown shaggy hair that fell to his eyes. He had a white sleeveless shirt with a black leather jacket over top and white fur around his neck with black gloves on. He also had black leather pants and boots, with a brow belt that looped around twice and silver belt buckle with a lions head on it, and fur around his mid back. He also had a necklace like with a lions head like his belt buckle on. On his face was a scar that ran over his nose from the left to the right. On his right hand was a seal for fire and wind jutsu, while on his left was one for lightning and water jutsu, and on his feet were seals for earth jutsu. Now his weapon was a cross between a blade and a gun or a gunblade as some call it. It's name was Lionheart it was a blue blade with a chimera on the handle, that would shoot elemental bullets he made. The puppets name Squall.
-x Leaf Village Forest x-
It had now been four months since Naruto made Squall, Naruto was now in a forest close to his house practicing to use his puppets. He was about halfway through his training when he felt the perimeter seals he set up go off, sealing up his puppets so no one would find out about them Naruto got ready to meet who ever wanted to see him.
Walking into the clearing were two people, one a young boy with black hair and a variation of the ANBU uniform on. The other an older man with black hair and bandages covering half of his face and one of his arms. This man came forward using a cane to help support him, before stopping right in front of Naruto.
"Ah young Naruto I see you are still training even though you aren't in the academy any more, that's good." The older man said with a smile on.
Darting his eyes through the forest Naruto knew that their were more than these two people in the forest with him. "Yeah I am, but if you don't mind me asking who are you?" Naruto asked slowly.
"My name is Danzo, and I have a proposition for you young Naruto." Danzo said taking a step forward before looking Naruto in the eyes.
"And what would you have to offer me, by the looks of it you need someone to take care of you so you can't take care of me." Naruto asked the old man.
Calming down it was all that Danzo could do not to sick his Root ANBU on the young blond. "Well young Naruto, you see I train a special sector of ANBU and could put you on the fast track to being Hokage like I know you want to be."
Looking at the old man Naruto wondered what his game was, but didn't want to loose the chance to go further in his goal to be Hokage. "Well Danzo-San it is a very nice offer but I would like to have the chance to think this over if you don't mind." Naruto told the old man.
"Well Naruto-San that is a very wise choice, I'll give you until the class you were going to be in graduates." Danzo said while motioning for the young boy to follow him, and the Root ANBU that were hidden to leave the area.
-x Tetsu Weapons x-
Over the next few months Naruto and the girls all started to meet at the Tetsu weapon shop to keep prying eyes away from them, after a few of their meetings even Shikamaru joined in.
Naruto would still get Kunoichi lessons from the girls, while working on his weapons with Tenten, chakra control and genjutsu with Sakura, Anko for capture and interrogation, Shikamaru for strategy and stealth, Hinata for medicine, and Hanabi for minor taijutsu.
"So girls how have you been, any thing cool at the academy or any nice missions, oh and how bout you Shikamaru?" Naruto asked getting a troublesome out of Shikamaru.
"Well Naruto the academy has been boring ever since we all started working together so far the only two people in our class that can keep up with us are Lee and Uchiha Sasuke." Tenten said while blocking a blow from one of Naruto's scimitars that a clone was using.
Working on her chakra control with a clone of Naruto, Sakura took a breath to focus her chakra out to keep a floating leaf in between her and him. "Yeah it's been ok, but they all think that us girls are so breakable in the Kunoichi classes." Sakura said pouting.
"Aw Sakura we all know that you girls are tougher than most guys out there." Naruto said while sparing with Hanabi. Dodging each of her strikes Naruto was trying to work out a new taijutsu style to use with his puppets.
Another clone of Naruto's was with Shikamaru on their fourth game of go of the day, for they have already given up on shogi being tied every time. While another clone of his was with Anko working on different poisons and antidotes to use with his weapons and puppets.
"So Naruto how are your puppets, have you finished with that troublesome project you mentioned earlier." Shikamaru asked looking up from the go board.
"Yeah Naruto-Kun how are your puppets, you've only showed us Shadow so far didn't you say you were making a squad of them." Hinata asked while watching one of the clones making a simple soothing balm.
Stopping his spar with Hanabi, Naruto walked over to the other side of the room to where Ken was standing. "Well I have two more puppets to build, but since Ken-San gave me the last parts I should be done in four more months one each to build the puppets and one each to train with them." Naruto said. "But since you asked I'll show you the ones I have already made." Naruto told the girls.
Seeing all of the girls smile and Shikamaru raise his head from the go match, unsealed his other puppets. "Well you've already seen Shadow here, but over here we have Sogekihei my long range sniper puppet." Naruto said making Sogekihei pull out his long bow to show everyone.
"This over here is my newest puppet Squall, he is my front line attack puppet with elemental seals and a gunblade." Naruto said, making Squall take a step forward and show off his gunblade with a few swings before resting it on his shoulder.
"Wow Naruto that is one awesome weapon, you think I might be able to try it some day?" Tenten asked, gawking at the blade.
Smiling Naruto had Squall hand his blade to Tenten. "Sure thing Tenten but be careful, any way here is my last puppet Kunoichi." Naruto said letting the girl of the group walk over.
"Naruto-Kun is it me or does that puppet remind you of someone?" Anko asked with a smirk on her face.
At that Naruto sealed everything up and dismissed his shadow clones before running for his life because of the look Anko gave him, making everyone in the room laugh. But Shikamaru who saw that the clone tied him in go again.
-x Training Ground Sixteen x-
Running for his life, Naruto came upon one of the strangest sights that he would ever see. There standing in front of him was a tall kid with black hair in a bowl cut kicking a tree.
"Um hello there, if you don't mind me asking what are you doing?" Naruto asked while wiping the sweet off of his forehead.
Turning around from his tree the boy looked at Naruto with fire in his eyes. "Well I'm training so I can become a taijutsu master and a truly great ninja, by the way my name is Lee." Lee said offering his hand.
"Well my name is Naruto, and Lee of course you can be a great ninja with only taijutsu. After all if you can get to the other person and knock him out faster then he can fire a jutsu off, you would win." Naruto said shaking Lee's hand.
"Yes you are right after all, I will become the best taijutsu master in the world with you as my rival." Lee said screaming in the air.
Backing up from Lee Naruto tried to stop the young man from screaming. "Lee stop, ok now since you are becoming a taijutsu master how about you help me with my own taijutsu style." Naruto asked his new friend.
Smiling at his new friend Lee started to pump his hand in the air before Naruto stopped him. "Yes my rival I would be glad to help you make your own style, perhaps we should set up a training schedule.
After making their schedule, Naruto and Lee parted ways with Naruto going home to sleep after a very long day.
-x Naruto's House x-
By the end of the month with Naruto keeping up his training schedule he was finally able to finish his newest puppet.
This one was the biggest of them all standing at seven feet tall. But instead of human like his other puppets this one was a giant suit of dark blueish black armor. The head was in the style of an oni mask with one horn sticking up in the middle of its forehead. It had pointed shoulder blades, and his wrist guards were also blades used as weapons. On his chest was a giant leaf symbol in green. In his mouth was a tube with a wind seal, that would send a burst of wind that could knock any weapon out of the air. On his shin guards and boots were earth seals that would bring up an earth wall to protect anyone that was not close to him. On his right arm was a seal that would make a chakra shield pop out and activate, the shield itself looked like an old knights shield. While across his back was a huge bastard sword Naruto liked to call Excalibur only to be used in emergencies.
-x Uchiha Pond x-
Walking back home the next month from training with his new puppet Koutetsu. Naruto came upon the sight of the youngest Uchiha practicing his Fire Ball Jutsu. Naruto being the person he is walked over the young avenger and tried to talk.
"You know that your missing one very important part of this jutsu." Naruto said, already knowing the jutsu as Iruka taught him it last month.
Turning around and scowling at Naruto Sasuke was about to do the jutsu again. "What do you know Uchiha are the best of the best at fire jutsu." Sasuke said before turning.
"Well if you focus your chakra in your throat and then do the jutsu." Naruto said after Sasuke turned around.
Deciding that listening to the blond wouldn't hurt anything so he gave it a try. "Fire Style Fire Ball Jutsu!" Sasuke yelled, making the fire ball grow to twice the size it was before reaching twelve feet in front of him.
"See you listened to me didn't you?" Naruto half asked, half stated.
"And how did you know that loser?" Sasuke asked with a sarcastic smirk.
Taking out a mini scroll Naruto wrote something on it before handing it to Sasuke. "Me and my friends meet here every Wednesday to train, the names Naruto by the way." Naruto said holding out his hand.
"Maybe I'll join, and I'm Sasuke." Sasuke said shaking Naruto's hand, before turning to leave to go home.
-x Naruto's House x-
It was now two months after Naruto made Koutetsu and was now finishing up his last puppet for his team.
This one would be his scouting puppet, it was in the shape of a medium sized panther. It had all of the normal seals that Naruto would put on his puppets, the fire and water proof seals, the anti breaking seals, the shock seal, the recall seal, the self destruction seal, and the sight and hearing seals. It also had the camouflage seal on his whole body for scouting, and a poison seal in each nostril one for smoke and the other for knock out gas. It's tail was a whip that could detach and tie up people it captured. And it's teeth had a chakra distorting poison, while its claws had a paralyzing poison.
After finishing it Naruto sealed into his redesigned tattoo, this one was for his whole team and showed each of their shadows.
-x Fire Country Forest x-
The next month one would find Naruto out side of the Leaf village, for Naruto decided that if he truly wanted to become a puppet master he needed to have experience fighting with his puppets. He had heard of six bandit camps around the village that were rather well hidden. Naruto had already used his Crow, Black Ant, and Salamander puppets to take out the first one, sealing up the bodies to try the human puppet technique that Sasori mentioned.
Now some might ask why would Naruto want to make human puppets, well the answer was simple revenge. Naruto wanted revenge on anyone that would attack him or his precious people, you see even after making friends with several clan heirs people still attacked Naruto. But that was the normal for him, no what really changed his mind was one attack that happened last week when he left the Tetsu weapon shop from their weekly meeting. He was attacked by several villagers that said they were going to hurt his friends next, he would have killed them if Ken wasn't near by and stopped him.
At the next camp Naruto let Shadow out to take care of them, he started off killing the guards from behind with his scimitars. After the camp started to get alert of the attack, Shadow shot off senbon from his fingers and mouth before shooting out several smoke bombs to cover his attacks. Taking out his naginata he went thru the smoke taking the bandits out one by one, before coming up to the last one and taking his head off in one clean swipe.
Kunoichi was the next to be tested out, now unlike Shadow's stealth Kunoichi walked right into the camp up to the leader swaying her hips each step. Bending over Kunoichi kissed the man before biting his lips and waking over to the others by him scratching them with her fingers only enough for the poison to go in. After about two minutes the leader fell down and started to bleed out of his mouth, before dieing. Seeing their leader die the others attacked, taking the sais from her boots she started attacking. Between attacks Kunoichi would fire off throwing knives into the bandits that were farther away and hitting them in the head for a quick kill. Finishing up the last bandit Naruto sealed the bodies and left.
The fourth camp was reserved for Koutetsu, having him walk into the middle of the camp the bandits started freaking out from the demon like look. Unlike other camps a few of the men here had bows and arrows but they did even make it to Koutetsu, for he opened his mouth and shot air out to stop the arrows in their tracks. Starting off with the ones near him, Koutetsu was using his wrist guards to chop into the bandits leaving gashes in them. Seeing the others were coming after him with their weapons, Naruto activated the chakra shield before drawing Excalibur. Blocking strikes with his shield and slashing with his sword, most of the men weren't even left in one piece when he was done. After finishing the last one the leader came rushing forward before Koutetsu, slammed a foot on the ground making an earth wall come up and the leader smash into it, letting Naruto throw a kunai into the leaders head killing him.
The next camp Naruto took out Sogekihei and set him in a tree. Taking out his long bow Naruto made Sogekihei channel wind into the arrows, lining up the first shot he fired. The first arrow went thru a whole line of bandits killing five. In the confusion Sogekihei killed six more bandits before he was found. Jumping out of the tree he put the long bow back behind him, and pulled out his two mini crossbows. Using the automatic loading seals on his arms, Sogekihei started firing off bolts killing the rest of the bandits.
Pride was the next puppet on the list, using the panther to stalk into the camp Naruto noticed this was a smaller camp with only five bandits perfect for pride. Making the panther jump at the back of the first bandit pride bit into his neck, before jumping off and slashing two others. Wiping around its tail pride walked up to the bandit and pushed some gas through its nose. The last bandit walked up slowly to not surprise the animal, but what he saw was the panthers jaws opening and a senbon shoot out into his chest. With the bandits all down Naruto went over and slit each of their throats killing them.
The last camp was all Squall's, walking into the camp the Naruto wanted the people to know that he was their for two reasons. The first to see if he could use the puppet and attack at the same time, the second was because the bandits had a girl around his age tied up looking like they were going to rape her. So having Squall shoot a few bullets first, Naruto went up to the girl to make sure she was safe. Squall was now slashing Lionheart, while throwing streams of fire and lightning at others in a dance of death. With all of the bandits dead but one, Naruto himself walked up to him and stared in his eyes.
"I want you to know that you are going to be my first human in my collection." Naruto said in a bland tone.
"You can't beat me kid, I've trained with ninja from the hidden Heat Haze village. And with the legendary Syphon no one can beat me." The leader said, just before Squall came up and cut his head off.
Sealing the bodies and weapons Naruto went up to the girl and held out a hand to help her up. "My names Naruto, are you ok?" Naruto said.
Taking the arm the girl got up and smiled. "The name is Karin."
A/N: Two days late but I think that this chapter is pretty cool, shout out to Karasu Kagami for the name and parts of Pride. I already had the idea but he helped a lot. Next chapter is the team placement, the puppet idea poll will put up after next chapter so ideas are still accepted.
