Naruto Fanfic: Stormcaller
Chapter 4: The Yondaime Kazekage vs the Nidaime Yellow Flash
It had been two days since Naruto had been banished. He had leaped from tree to tree and reached the river country. From there he headed towards the desert which marked the start of the wind country (Kaze no Kuni).
On the way while taking breaks Naruto would practice some jutsus and other techniques from his parents scroll. The fuinjutsu came easily to Naruto and he had learnt the rasengan till its 3rd step. Unknown to him the toad sage with white hair was still following him for unknown reasons. It took Naruto another few hours when he saw a huge sandstone wall in the distance. Naruto figured it was Sunakagure no Sato. He would rest up and freshen up for two or three days there, he decided.
He reached the gates where he was halted by the Suna Anbu who said that he needed to show his papers and passport before getting in. Naruto showed them his papers.
"Alright the papers are in order. Since you were banished from Konoha there is no need for a passport. Welcome and enjoy your stay in Sunakagure no Sato." The suna anbu who had a tanuki mask said.
Naruto stepped into the hidden village of the wind country and looked for a decent hotel to stay inn. After he found one he went outside towards the training grounds and practiced the uzumaki clan's whirlpool style taijutsu. It was a taijutsu style that relied on precise strikes and confusing the opponent. It could be used after a reaction or o invoke a reaction.
Unbeknownst to Naruto the Yondaime Kazekage was walking by with his councilors. Recognizing the kazekage from the text books Naruto ran up to meet him. He was very enthusiastic until he heard what the were talking about.
"Kazekage-sama do you think it was wise to agree with Orochimaru's plan? He could backstab us for all we know." One of the councilors shared his view with the Kazekage.
"Yes I agree with councilor Akio Rasa-sama." Another one said.
"Yes I know the risks but the kaze daimyo has been cutting our funds and all the missions that we should be receiving are going to konoha. Therefore we must attack Konoha with Orochimaru and his Oto lackeys and loot some of the wealth of the village and show the daimyo that we need the funds that he has taken." The kazekage named Rasa replied back.
"Very well then but we will have anbu assigned with you at all times Kazekage-dono."
"Fine." Rasa agreed.
-Rasa's pov-
Rasa was having a huge headache. He knew Orochimaru would backstab him and suna when the timing was convenient for him but the village needed the funds. So he needed to attack konoha with Oto and receive funds. He had just agreed to have anbu assigned with him when a voice behind him and the cou1ncilors suddenly said "Fine? I wont let you attack my village just like that !"
Rasa cursed. He knew he should have discussed this in the council room! Sighing he turned his head to see a young child of 12 years maybe with blonde hair and blue eyes glaring at him and the councilors. "Who are you kid? You imply you are from konoha but you do not have a konoha headband. Who are your parents? I should warn them that you are having sake at such a yound age."
"I am not drunk. I was a former konoha shinobi but that doesn't matter. I still think of it as my village. And I will not allow some other village to attack my village!" The blonde responded.
"Banished? So he's the kyubii's jinchuriki and the last stormcaller as my spies say. Hmm…he might be a problem…." "Banished you say why don't you become a shinobi of suna, hm boy?"
"No I would never do that."
"Despite being betrayed by his village he still hasn't given up on it he has some guts I will give him that. But still either way I don't care." "Look kid I really don't care what you say but I am going through with my plans. So see ya never." Rasa replied as he and the other councilors shunshined away.
-end of Rasa's pov-
Naruto was seething in rage. But that did not help things. So deciding he would warn his former village later he went to his hotel and went to sleep after having a delicious dinner. Around 11pm to 12am a large roar shook the whole building waking Naruto up.
"What in the world was that?!" Naruto thought as he woke up and wore his clothes. He sealed all of his belongings in a scroll and stored it away in his pouch. He ran outside to find people screaming.
"It's the Shukaku!"
"Oh no it's the Ichibi no Tanuki! Get out of here!"
Naruto registered the use of the word 'ichibi' and looked frantically at the direction from where another roar came. There stood a large tanuki with one tail with sand and weird black markings on his body. It started to attack the village when a lone shinobi came out and challenged him. It was the kazekage.
"Magnet style: Golden dust wave!" He roared as golden sand rose up and formed a wave and hit the ichibi.
It roared in defiance and shouted "Die Kazekage! Who do you think you are attacking me the ichibi no Tanuki Shukaku! You will pay! Bijuudama!" A ball of energy and chakra formed in its mouth and fired it at the Kazekage. Rasa simply shunshined away to dodge the attack but it destroyed one fourth of the village.
"It seems Shukaku is still weak in his bijuudama." The kyubbi said in his mind.
"I don't care!" Naruto shouted at the nine tails as he jumped towards to assist the Kazekage.
The kazekage currently was being pushed by the ichibi. He needed to defeat Shukaku without harming his son. He used his golden sand to negate Shukaku's sand but Shukaku then simply used wind and earth element manipulation to counter Rasa's own. A storm was gathering for some reason and it was surprising as it rarely ever rained in suna. Then suddenly a familiar voice out of nowhere shouted "Come at me Ichibi! Stormcaller Art: Storm Dragon Bullet!" A dragon made of the storm leapt out the storm and hit Shukaku who was immediately electrified and crushed by the power. He staggered backwards. Rasa turned around to see the blonde kid from before.
"Kid! What are you doing here?" He shouted
"I'm helping you defeat this ass right here. Since it appeared out of nowhere I'm guessing it took over it's jinchuriki." Naruto replied.
"Yes and the jinchuriki is my son! Don't kill him!" Rasa shouted informing Naruto.
"A stormcaller? I thought the yondaime hokage was the last one! And he seems to have that wretched fox inside him as well! This complicates things. But doesn't matter! I will kill him and the Kyubii too!" Shukaku roared.
"You can try! Stormcaller Art: Giant Storm Tiger." Naruto shouted as a giant tiger the size of Shukaku leaped out of the storm and set itself on Shukaku.
Naruto dropped on his knees as the jutsu he just used took a lot of chakra to use even by his standards. I mean a technique that could match a bijuu should shouldn't it?
Rasa ran and checked Naruto unable to believe he still had above half chakra still left. He tried to help him up when Naruto slapped the hand away in a polite manner and asked "What, what is his name?"
"His name…his name is Gaara." Rasa replied back understanding why Naruto wanted to know his name.
"He, he was probably treated like me. The villagers must have hated him. The children must have despised and hurt him. He must have had assassination attempts thrown at him and he must have also been beaten up. Now from what you say he only fights for himself. I will not allow that. I almost fell where he is now but my friends (minus the other members of team 7) saved me. I will save him too." Rasa was shocked at Naruto's outburst. Naruto stood up and looked at him. Over the days his hair had grown down (like minatos) and his whiskers were barely seen. He looked exactly Minato.
"He looks so much like the Yondaime Hokage. Could he be 'their' son?"Rasa thought shocked at Naruto's appearance.
Naruto channeled his chakra at his feet and ran at insane speeds. He watched as his storm tiger and the ichibi were fighting in equal grounds. Naruto started to do 76 handsigns to use the fifth strongest Stormcaller art jutsu. The one and only Stormcaller Bomb. After a minute or so he finished the hand signs and and brought his hands almost together. Storm energy started to gather at the middle of the point and it slowly started to grow bigger and bigger until Naruto took it to one of his hands and brought it upwards like he did with his rasengan until expanded to the size of a bijuudama. He threw it at Shukaku.
The next thing that happened clearly stunned all the jonins, chunins and the Kazekage of Suna. The ball expanded and exploded in Shukaku's face. Shukaku roared in pain as he fell down on the ground. Naruto ran forward despite his exhaustion and slapped Gaara who was asleep on the head of Shukaku waking him up and dispelling the ichibi.
Gaara scowled at being woken up and shouted "WHO ARE YOU? YOU DEFEATED MOTHER! I WILL KILL YOU AND PROVE MY EXISTENCE!"
Despite what gaara said he fell face first in the ground trying to move. Naruto extended a hand said "I know how it feels. It pains you doesn't it, Gaara?"
"How could you know? I have a bijuu sealed into me so that the village could use me! How could you know about the pain I have felt, huh!" Gaara screamed.
"I know gaara, I have the kitsune no kyubii sealed into me like you have the ichibii no tanuki inside of you." Naruto said with a sorrowful voice.
"His eyes, he's telling the truth. Could he be my first..?" "Arrghh!" Gaara groaned in pain. Naruto again extended his hand and this time Gaara took it. "Friends?" Naruto asked. "Friends." Gaara confirmed.
Rasa who had seen the whole scene unfold was astounded. Gaara had finally resolved his issues. And that was due to this young remarkable ninja who was probably the yondaime hokage's son. "Those konoha people must have been crazy to banish this kid." Was all he thought.
Rasa came over and steeld his decision. "Hey kid nice job. What's your name?"
"Kazekage-sama my name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze." His surname pretty much confirmed Rasa's suspicions. But that was for later.
"I want to make a deal with you Naruto. You and I will have a fight. If I win I proceed in my plans to invade Konoha but if I lose I will cancel the invasion from my side. You will have one month to prepare." Rasa offered.
Naruto accepted. With this he could have an excuse to learn his father's prized jutsu the hiraishin. He was walking back to his hotel which fortunately wasn't decimated when he was confronted by a white haired green and red robe wearing old guy. He had a big scroll on his back.
"You had to take up that offer didn't you?" The stranger asked.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked back.
"I am Jiraiya of the three legendary Sannin. I also am the holder of the toad contract. And I was the teacher of our village's yondaime. I am also your…..godfather." He finished.
Naruto was shocked. His shock quickly turned into anger as he started to scream. "Where were you! Do you know how much I have suffered! I should castrate you right now!"
"*sigh* I wanted to Naruto I fought with Sarutobi-sensei a lot to get you to come with me but he wanted you live and interact with kids your age. I had a spy network to manage. Besides I did send you gifts from time to time. I was the one who gave you your wallet and pajamas anonymously."
"That was you?"
"Yes. When I heard from Sarutobi-sensei that you were banished I came straight away deciding that I would train you. So you want to take up the offer?" Jiraiya asked hoping his godson would agree to his offer. He would repay his debts to his godson as he felt ashamed of his absence from Naruto's life.
"Fine. I want you to help me complete the rasengan, teach me the summoning jutsu with me signing the toad contract and help me learn the hiraishin." Naruto demanded.
"He he kid I was going to teach you all those jutsus already. You really are my godson. I will have extra 200 tri pronged kunai that your father ordered in 3 weeks. So lets get started from tommrow. Meet me at training ground 3." Jiraiya smirked.
One month later…
Naruto and Jiraiya had trained their asses of in that one month. In two days Naruto got down the rasengan as he was already in its last stage. I took another five days for Naruto to learn the summoning jutsu and get approved by the toads after he signed the toad contract. And to Jiraiya's shock and pride Naruto learned his father's signature jutsu, the hiraishin.
Over the month Naruto had found out that Jiraiya was a pervert and had started to call him 'ero-sennin'. Naruto with learning three new powerful jutsus had also built his physical strength to make himself physically strong as well. Jiraiya had taught him how to make strategies and cause deception in the battle. Over the days Naruto and Gaara had become very good friends. Naruto had also become good friends with Gaara's sister and brother, Kankuro and Temari.
The day had arrived. The whole village of Sunagakure no Sato was shaking with anticipation. It wasn't everyday there was someone who could stand against the Kazekage unless they were a member of the 10 shinobi of the Desert, an elite group of ninja's of suna who were all on kage level. All of suna had arrived at training ground 9 to see the match.
"Well Naruto I hope you're ready to face me. You remember the deal correct?" Rasa asked.
"Yes I do and I will prove my strength today as I will today defeat a kage, Dattebayo!" Naruto enthusiastically replied.
Rasa simply smiled at the child's antics and explained a few rules. He would determine himself or Naruto lost according to how they fight and there would be no intentional maiming. And with that they started.
Rasa simply stood there waiting for Naruto to make his move. Naruto did they same. Tired of waiting Rasa moved his hands into hand signs and said "Magnet style: Golden Sand Wave!"
A huge wave of golden sand appeared and lunged at Naruto who went through a barrage of hand signs and said "Lightning Style: Lightning Cackle!" Naruto made the snake seal from which a cackling sound was heard and Lightning sprayed out in wave holding back the golden sand wave. A storm was gathering from Naruto's will.
Suddenly Rasa appeared behind Naruto and did a roundhouse kick only to be blocked. Naruto had to admit without the kyubii's chakra in his veins he would not have been able to stop the kick. He flipped over causing Rasa to fall down. Naruto struck him only for Rasa to turn into golden sand.
"A clone? Shit!" Naruto exclaimed as he blocked a kick that came from the real Rasa. Rasa jumped back and said "Magnet Style: Golden Sand Pyramid." A huge amount of golden sand sped towards Naruto who took out eight tri pronged kunai and threw them at different directions. When the sand came in close he disappeared in a yellow flash.
Rasa and the audience minus Jiraiya were stunned. This kid had been able to recreate the yondaime Hokage's jutsu. He was just full of surprises.
"Well Naruto-kun that was very impressive. To think that you would be able to use that jutsu. But do not rely on that jutsu alone. For I am going to show you why I am the Yondaime Kazekage." Rasa said as multiple golden sand came up and went front and tried to catch Naruto. Naruto simply disappeared in yellow flashes all around the field where he's kunai were.
He then appeared in his right hook and tried to hit Rasa. That was his mistake. The golden sand caught him and started to squeeze him. Blood spurted from his mouth. "Oh shit… I was careless!"
Rasa was disappointed to say the least. He had expected more from Naruto. Yes he had survived 20 minutes but still. The golden sand squeezed Naruto more who screamed in agony.
Then Naruto felt chakra going to his eyes. Just then his eyes turned from azure blue to bright purple. It had a vortex like design in middle of it. The world slowed down.
"It couldn't be! I thought since Naruto had awakened the Stormcaller ability it would be impossible for his body to handle to bloodline limits. But but….he awakened his mother's bloodline. The only dojutsu that can make itself on par with the Rinnegan. It's the Temporal Eye otherwise known as Jikantekigan." Jiraiya thought in awe.
Naruto not knowing how the time had slowed itself used this opportunity to free himself from the golden sand and hit Rasa with a rasengan. Time resumed itself normally and Rasa fell down to the ground.
"Naruto *Cough* you win, I lose." Rasa said as he slowly tried to stand up. "But what happened to your eye?"
"I don't know either."
"Hmph! It's your mother's bloodline you fool." The kyubii said.
"He ero-sennin is this my mother's bloodline cause the kyubii just said so." Naruto asked Jiraiya.
Jiraiya twitched at his nickname before explaining. "Yes it is. It s the Uzumaki bloodline dojutsu that makes the byakugan and sharingan look like welps. It's name is the Temporal eye or the Jikantekigan. It has three main abilities from what kushina told me. I allowed me to hlp her train with it and I guess I could do it for you as well. It has three main abilities.
It can see the life force and chakra of a person and even drain them of their life force and chakra to make it your own. You will learn the jutsus that the victim knew excluding Kekkei genkai.
You will be able to manipulate time to make it slow down, stop entirely, rewind itself and create loops as well. In its most mastered form you can go back 5 minutes into the past or go 5 minutes further into the future. What you did back there was slow time down.
Lastly we have the space manipulation. Putting it bluntly with it you can displace space from one place to another. You can also create a whole new space just by thinking about it."
After Jiraiya explained the abilities of the Jikantekigan Naruto was jumping in joy. "Now I have two bloodlines woo! Take that Sasuke-teme! Now I will be stronger than ever! But hey wait how do I deactivate the jikantekigan?"
"Just remove the chakra in your eyes."
After that Naruto did so and saw his eyes return back to normal. Later after they had rested and got a lot of congratulations from the sand trio Naruto and Rasa discussed about their deal. Naruto had an idea.
"Kazekage-sama why don't you turn on Oto and Orochimaru on the invasion? With the help of the sand shinobi helping konoha they are bound to defend their home. But be on your guard Orochimaru may attempt to kill you on your way to the Chunin Exams as you say." Naruto explained his plan.
"You're right. That's a good plan. Very well a deal's a deal. I will do it. And from now onwards you are welcome in Sunagakure no Sato anytime. I the Yondaime Kazekage allow it!" Rasa agreed.
So after deciding to leave Sunagakure for further training Naruto and Jiraiya left the village after their goodbyes.
In Konoha…
In konoha the news of Naruto defeating the Ichibi no Tanuki was spreading like wildfire. The civilians couldn't believe the news and were mass protesting. Sasuke became jealous and had started to train even harder. Hiruzen himself was proud of his surrogate grandson while the elders were fuming over their mistake of banishing him and by law I had to be 6 months before any banished person could be brought back by the village.
After a lot of protesting the civilian council finally decided to act. They called a meeting with the shinobi council and the hokage and his advisors.
"What is the meaning of this council?" Hiruzen asked annoyed.
"The demon brat has defeated the Ichibi no Tanuki in Sunagakure no Sato! He has become very strong! We demand that Sunagakure send him back to us so that we can use his bloodline to breed a whole army of stormcallers!" Mebuki Haruno screeched promptly hurting the Shinobi's ears.
"First off the idea is too disgusting. Second the laws says that anyone banished cannot be recalled before 6 months so that is invalid ." Hiruzen replied.
"But Hokage-sama surely you can-"
"I can't and that is a law made by Tobirama-sensei so I cannot go against it."
Just then an anbu arrived on the scene and said "Hokage-sama Councilors, and elders we have received news that Naruto-san has defeated the yondaime kazekage in a friendly duel by using the hiraishin."
An instant uproar came about. They all knew that Naruto was the son of the yondaime hokage but the demon brat defeating a kage was unacceptable. Hiruzen however swelled with pride. Noticing that the anbu had not left asked "Well skull do you have more news?"
"Yes I do. It seems that Jiraiya-sama trained Naruto-san and um….well Naruto has also awakened the Temporal eye or Jikantekigan of the Uzumaki clan." Skull reported.
More outburst followed. However Hiruzen was thinking how Naruto could have two bloodlines as it was physically impossible. Just then the answer struck him. "Of course! The kyubii's chakra and body enhancing abilities! Well if this goes on young Naruto-kun will be the most feared shinobi in his age. Good job Naruto-kun I am proud to say I am your surrogate grandfather."
"Hakage-sama it is impossible! He should not have two bloodlines! It should be impossible!"
"Yes the demon brat annot have two bloodlines!"
"SILENCE! I see no reason whatsoever on what the heck this meeting was all about! You all are dismissed!" Hiruzen roared scarring the civilians.
"Minato…..Kushina you would be so proud of your son right now…"
