Ok I know it's been awhile sorry I will try and make these updates more regular. Now onto other several people reviewed and to those who did thank you for doing so.
Now to Akuma-Heika you posed several questions I'll do my best to answer them. First off as I said in the first chapter Shisui is currently the clan head and well I like him so I made him stronger, I did say he could almost match the fourth in speed and now the clan head so there are a lot of political problems if he does anything to Mikoto out of pure spite, I also came up with the idea that she was out of the country on clan business during the attack and came back after it was over so there's that excuse, as for suicide missions well as far as I am aware she is not an active shinobi after Sasuke's birth so no missions outside of those for the clan, and if she is assassinated so soon after words it would be rather suspicious in my opinion. I know those aren't exactly the best reason but yeah.
As for the whiskers I just wanted to get rid of them. The extra seals well why would he if the temple believed he was strong enough on his own why get rid of them? Plus he already has 2 jinchuriki just the thought of another several years down the road or the fact that someone doesn't have Naruto should be enough. As for the bit about the channeling well hand seals are made to make using jutsu easier/possible hence why it is possible to use some with fewer seals depending on your ability with said jutsu, so I think that using seals on chakra conducting metal would make channeling something easier. I know this won't make much sense but think of it as a wand in Harry Potter they are made to make it easier to use and focus magic, the glaive is like that just with jutsu and chakra.
Onto Kyuubi's healing well I figure he should at least get something out of having a fox stuck in his gut, so let's say that enough of the kyuubi's chakra can get out to heal him when he needs it, it's not as fast as cannon where his wounds seal up almost instantly but atleast quicker than normal. As for the wolves, I'll think of something to use, rogue ex-summons or something similar so that the clan actually makes it out so that naruto is doing them a favor.
Ok now before the story there are some things I have to say, first off wolves won the summon poll so Naruto will summon wolves, second I have a lot of ideas just floating around right now, two for Naruto one for Pokémon. For the Naruto stories one is that Naruto still part of Konoha but so is the Uzumaki clan, though the clan will have different specialties and abilities than in cannon. My idea was for them to be something like Hunters, with their main weapons being a Bow along with a Hatchet and Kukri used simultaneously and various throwing knives and the like.
The second one is where Naruto is the descendant of the Second Hokage(either through his mother or father, most likely ill use his mother), who in my opinion is the best/coolest one, and he will have similar abilities those being kenjutsu, genjutsu, and extreme control over water jutsu stuff like that, he will have a family in both stories and that's mostly what I have at the moment.
For the pokemon one well it was basically just Ash starting with a different pokemon and going through the regions as a smarter trainer with a different set of pokemon, some would be the same yes but not everything.
Let me know if you like one of those ideas I'll use that one first.
Chapter 4
It had been tense when Naruto had gotten back to Tsunami and Tazuna's house. The atmosphere was not the result of his arrival or the presence of the leaf ninjas it was because of Tsunami's son Inari. Naruto had heard the story of what happened to Kaiza from Tsunami, but never really imagined that the boy would look as depressed as he did simply because someone had died. Of course it was sad but to think that he would become so distant and anti-social was unheard of to the shinobi.
Ignoring the boy for now Naruto signaled Kakashi to follow him and walked outside away from the Genin and clients. Kakashi sighed and followed him outside wondering what the young Cloud ninja had to say. When he arrived outside he saw Naruto make several handseals beore touching several trees in a perimeter around them causing a barrier to form around them keeping out any eavesdroppers.
"Thank you for coming Kakashi-san, now I believe I did not introduce myself. My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and as you know I am from Cloud." Said Naruto causing Kakashi to stiffen as he heard the name Uzumaki, wondering if this boy could be related to Kushina, his sensei's former lover, and to him an older sister.
"Now we have several problems" Naruto continued causing Kakashi to raise an eyebrow at him. "What do you mean Naruto-san? What problems do we have? You took out Zabuza and his accomplice rather easily surely you could take out whatever thugs Gato has left?"
"I only took out Zabuza due to surprise, but that is not the issue Gato has more than just thugs on his payroll."
"Oh and what other missing-nin does he have on his payroll" Kakashi asked thinking that whoever it was they wouldn't be that much stronger than Zabuza and that the two of them could take out someone of that level quite easily.
"Rikorou Nanashibe, the Butcher." Naruto stated in a grave tone.
When Kakashi heard who it was his visible features paled knowing who the man was. Sighing Kakashi asked the question on both their minds, "What are we going to do?"
"I don't know. I have no idea of his skills other than his use of that battle axe, and that he uses Earth chakra. I do know that we are going to have to work together if we want to beat him though."
Kakashi nodded in agreement with that statement and thought about what information he had on the Butcher, and realized he knew something that his counterpart did not. Kakashi knew that Nanashibe liked to use earth jutsu to make traps in the surrounding area, either making pitfalls or walls to force opponents into running towards him where he could just take them out with his axe. Telling Naruto as much the two began to think about how to take him down and when he was likely to attack.
Figuring they had atleast one week before Nanashibe attacked because he had likely just returned from some form of mission due to the bloodstains Naruto had spotted on his clothing and Gato would likely wait a few days before assuming Zabuza had been killed if no one reported his death sooner.
Both Naruto and Kakashi had an elemental advantage over and both knew that, though they realized it would not matter in the upcoming battle since their opponent was much stronger than the two of them.
Realizing that they would get no were at the moment Naruto dropped the barrier and walked with Kakashi back towards the house.
The two were silent for a moment before Naruto spoke.
"You know you're going to have to train your Genin up some incase Nanashibe comes with friends or Gato shows up with thugs. We can't take out everyone in this fight"
Kakashi sighed before saying "I know, but of the three of them only Sasuke has the ability to assist us right now and even that is not much help he could probably take out a few thugs but not much else."
Raising an eyebrow at this information Naruto wondered why the children of the vaunted Fourth Hokage, and the apparent scion of the Uchiha clan were so weak, and asked Kakashi as much.
Sighing again Kakashi's answered with a somewhat defeated tone. "Well you see it's not there is no talent in the group, though what talent there is belongs mainly to Sasuke with some possible Genjutsu or Medical Jutsu capabilities with Sakura. Ryusei is simply unfit to be a ninja but due to the fact that his father is the fourth no one wants to see that. What talent the other two do have is also squandered by their other pursuits as well. Sakura is obsessed with power much like her mother and is willing to do many things to get it aside from training. She is also obsessed with Sasuke, even if he is not the strongest Uchiha in the village. As for Sasuke he is focused on revenge and according to him putting control of the clan back where it needs to be, which is in his hands instead of the current leader Shisui's. No one really knows why he wants to do this the clan has become more prestigious since Shishui took over, even Sasuke's mother Mikoto looks at him as a burden to the village and a plague to the clan."
Naruto's eyes widened when he heard of Shisui Uchiha. The man was well known throughout the Elemental Countries as a strong shinobi, Naruto had even met him before when the man came to the Temple though it was very brief. However when Kakashi said Mikoto's name Naruto nearly froze. He knew that woman was the one who had saved his life by taking him to the temple and she had birthed the waste of space that was Sasuke? It didn't matter to Naruto though as far as he was concerned she was responsible for his life going as well as it did, and that Sasuke was her son was just a fluke no one can choose their family after all.
Kakashi noticed the blonde's reaction to Mikoto's name and wondered if the two had some form of history. He decided however to just let it go in the end it would not due to question his new ally and cause tension that could lead to both their deaths in the end.
"So what do you plan to teach them over the week if they won't be able to help us?" Naruto asked wondering if Kakashi had some miracle teaching device with him.
Kakashi seemed to think for a moment before nodding and saying "Well since I have been unable to motivate them in the village maybe this will get them to listen to what I say, that being said I am going to try and teach them tree walking"
As soon as Kakashi said this Naruto face palmed. "You let a team of gennin that didn't even know tree walking out of the village on a c-rank?" Naruto asked wondering if the man was insane.
Kakashi however waved his hands in an innocent gesture before saying "It's not my fault Sakura and Ryusei's father forced me to take them, and I would rather not have their mother screeching at me!"
Naruto relented and thought about how they could deal with this threat. He knew that he and Kakashi could not defeat Nanashibe and any thugs Gato may send with him to insure his success. Naruto had rough plan in place but he knew it would be much easier if Kakashi's Genin were stronger.
After discussing it over with Kakashi, Naruto left to the bridge to scout out the area and prepare for the eventual attack while Kakashi left to inform his team and the clients.
When Kakashi finally made it back into the clients house he noticed that his team seemed to be arguing for some reason and that Tazuna and his family were watching amused.
Coughing lightly to gain his team's attention Kakashi regarded them seriously for a moment before speaking.
"Naruto, the cloud-nin, has come up with some interesting information when scouting out Gato's base. Zabuza was not the only missing-nin Gato hired to kill the bridge builder and this new one is even stronger than he was." Kakashi said making Sakura shiver in fright while Sasuke and Ryusei scoffed thinking this guy couldn't be stronger than them.
"Quiet Sasuke, Ryusei, this is serious. Zabuza was an A-ranked shinobi, this new guy is Rikorou Nanashibe an S-ranked missing ninja called the Butcher. He is wanted for brutally murdering 1/4th of the Hidden Rock's civilian population out of boredom" Kakashi said harshly trying to impress the seriousness of the situation onto his team.
It seemed to work as his entire team paled, that was good maybe now they would realize that this world was not one that would cater to their every whim simply because of who their parents were.
"Now, Naruto has a plan. His plan involves all of you fighting and being able to take out the thugs Gato is likely to send with Nanashibe as insurance and at the moment the only Sasuke would be able to take out any of them, but even then it would only be 2 or 3 before he ran out of steam." Kakashi said making all three of his genin glare at him, Sasuke and Ryusei for being referred to as weak and Sakura for insulting her Sasuke-kun.
"I have a plan to remedy this but all of you have to listen to me or we will not survive and even with his plan we still only have a slim chance at surviving this next battle." Kakashi said gravely before changing his expression back to his signature eye smile and saying "Now lets go learn to climb trees"
1 Week later at the Bridge
Naruto and Team 7 had just arrived at the bridge with Tazuna and they were shocked at what they saw. A Massacre. There was no other word for what had occurred on the bridge. All of the workers that had come to today lay strewn across the bridge their bodies in pieces and their blood forming large puddles on the ground.
In front of them stood the man who committed the act, standing well over 6ft his bloody battle axe in hand was Rikorou Nanashibe grinning at them.
"Sakura, Sasuke, Ryusei guard Tazuna, watch out for Gato's thugs and if Naruto and I fall run as fast as you can there is no way you will survive no matter how injured he is." Kakashi stated in a serious tone.
"So Kakashi Hatake and some punk from the Lightning Temple think they are going to defeat me huh?" Nanashibe said laughing slightly as if the idea was so outrageous it was funny. Both Naruto and Kakashi knew he was just trying to rile them up and stayed calm however what he said next
"And I see the yellow flashes brats are here as well. Huh I guess the rumors about him cheating on Kushina Uzumaki with some pink headed slut were true." He said laughing heartily.
Before Kakashi could do anything to calm Ryusei and Sakura down he heard Ryusei scream. "I'LL KILL YOU, YOU FUCKER!" before he charged Nanashibe.
Before he could be stopped Ryusei got within range and just before he reached him Nanashibe swung his axe in a downward ark bisecting Ryusei from the crown of his head down spraying blood onto himself and the bridge.
As the two halves of Ryusei's body fell Sakura let out an ear piercing scream and fainted at what had happened to her brother.
Naruto grit his teeth at the stupidity of the boy before taking his glaive off his back and readying himself for the fight.
Kakashi bit down on the impulse to rush at Nanashibe for killing his student, he may not have liked the boy but he was still his student and a leaf nin. He raised his headband and got himself into a fighting position while taking out two kunai, not having time to mourn his student.
All three combatants were still for several moments before Kakashi and Nanashibe sprung forward locking weapons in the middle.
Kakashi was being overpowered by Nanashibe and was about to be thrown backwards when Naruto appeared at the missing nin's side stabbing his glaive towards the man's forcing him to jump back. Kakashi nodded in thanks before both of them attacked again.
The fight was going surprisingly well for Naruto and Kakashi though they did not let themselves get comfortable, they knew the man would capitalize on it in an instant.
Rikorou Nanashibe was angry, he had not counted on the temple brat being as good as he was, he knew he had to step this fight up if he wanted to win without taking any fatal injuries. Jumping back slightly he swung the flat of his axe at Kakashi who got caught in the arm and was flung into the side of the bridge. Smirking he leapt at the blonde brat hoping to take him out before Kakashi got back up.
Cursing Naruto jumped back while swinging his glaive in a wide arc to create some room. Quickly stabbing the blade of his weapon into the ground and going through hand signs before calling out Lightning Style: Wolf Pack Jutsu! Releasing five wolves of lighting from his palm at Rikorou causing the man to jump back allowing Naruto some breathing room.
As Naruto tried to think of a plan Kakashi had gotten back up and winced at the pain in his side where Rikorou had hit him. He knew he would not be much help in the fight as he was at the moment. Cursing himself for being injured "I used to be an ANBU Captain dammit, if I get out of this I'm really going to have to step up my training, provided Minato-sensei doesn't kill me for his son getting killed." Sighing Kakashi got into position to use his one original technique like planned even if he couldn't fight normally he would be ready to make the finishing blow.
Naruto was slightly relieved to see Kakashi get up, it meant that the plan was still on even if the man couldn't fight at 100% he could still finish the man and that meant all Naruto had to do was get him into position.
As the last of his wolf pack faded Naruto made his move charging Rikorou he slashed and stabbed with his glaive while focusing chakra into the topmost band on the shaft for his second most powerful jutsu.
Naruto knew it would only be a few more seconds before he could unleash his attack and he hoped Kakashi was in position otherwise they'd both be fucked.
The seal band glowed showing Naruto that the jutsu was finally ready and he jumped back from Rikorou and stabbed his glaive forward shouting Lightning Style: Lightning Dragon Blast!
As he said it a giant violet colored dragon composed entirely of lightning sprung out from the blade and roared at Rikorou before flying straight at the missing nin.
Rikorou was shocked that the blonde brat had such a powerful jutsu in his arsenal and the fact the he fired it out of that glaive of his was even more shocking. It didn't really matter though even as the dragon crackled towards him at Jounin level speeds he knew he could still avoid it without being hit.
Waiting until the dragon was about 10ft away Rikorou jumped to the side with a grin. The grin turned into a frown however when he saw the smirk on the blondes face. Wondering what the boy was smirking about until his senses screamed at him to move.
He moved just in time to avoid a lethal blow from Kakashi who had his fist covered in lightning, and while he may have avoided a lethal blow Kakashi was not a Jounin for nothing and managed to hit the missing nin in the shoulder tearing his left arm from his torso.
"AHH!" Rikorou screamed as he felt his arm separate from his body as he heard Kakashi's shout of Raikiri! , and suddenly heard the sound of birds chirping. He had no idea how he couldn't have heard this when it suddenly hit him. The dragon, the blonde had launched an A-rank jutsu to distract him, using the sound to cover up for Kakashi's jutsu.
Knowing Rikorou could still fight Naruto went in quickly and separated his head from his body causing it to fall to the ground.
Panting Naruto sighed and looked at Kakashi who had a relieved look in his eyes. Just as Naruto was about to relax he heard clapping at the other end of the bridge.
Looking over to the other side of the bridge both ninja saw a short fat man in a suit with around 100 thugs surrounding him.
"Well done, well done. I was fully expecting to have to kill Rikorou when he was done with you two but it seems you did it for me. That makes my job a lot easier so prepare to die" The fat man, they assumed was Gato said as he told the thugs to attack.
Groaning Naruto had no idea what to do, he was to tired to deal with all of the thugs alone and Kakashi was done, their only hope was Sasuke and seeing as how he was still frozen and staring at his team mate's body Naruto prepared himself to take out as many as possible before dying. Just as he was about charge in an arrow appeared in one of the attackers foreheads.
Turning Naruto saw Tsunami, along with all of the villagers of Wave, each with a weapon in their hand ready to fight. Naruto had never been happier to have sent Tsunami away this morning, he figured Gato would've tried something like this and Tsunami seemed to have been able to motivate the people.
Seeing all of the villagers made the thugs stop in their tracks before running in the other direction as fast as they could, leaving Gato a shivering mess on the ground in front of the people he oppressed.
It wasn't long before the sounds of a giant celebration could be heard in the streets of Wave country as the citizens paraded Gato's body through the streets before stringing it up in the center of the town.
Naruto and what was left of Team 7 were back at Tazuna's with Naruto and Kakashi recovering from their fight and Sasuke and Sakura mourning the loss of their team mate. They would all head to Konoha in the morning with Team 7 going back home and Naruto going to meet up with Team Darui and Team Bee for the Chunin exams.
Naruto had secured a large amount of money from Gato's personal vault and gave most of it to Tsunami to spread around to the citizens, along with a trading contract for Lightning country and the Cloud Village with Wave. He was slightly nervous about heading to the Leaf Village but he knew no one would care about an Uzumaki from Cloud and from what little he knew about his mother, he knew she had red hair so he doubted the Hokage would recognize him.
Sighing Naruto rolled over and went to sleep knowing in the morning he would be heading back to the village of his birth.
End
Ok I know the fight scene is probably disappointing but I'm not all that great at writing them and it has been awhile, I apologize for that. As for next time I'll probably start the Chunin exams, I'm probably going to get Naruto to the tower and then go from there. He'll get his summoning contract during the month training period, like canon Naruto did. Not sure about the invasion or how I'll write it but ill figure it out.
Thanks for reading and I will try ad update on a regular basis, but no promises.
