Chapter 4: The Training Begins: The Kyuubi and the Cave of Fear
Last time on Naruto Wars: After escaping from the rebel Hoth base, The team splits up. Sasuke, Sakura, Akamaru, and Shikamaru spede off to escape from the empire. Unfortunatly the empire is on their tail. Meanwhile Naruto has made it to Dagobah and has seaked out Master Jiraiya. Unfortunatly he doesn't meet Naruto's expectation. What will happen? Let's find out now!
"WHAT!" Naruto shouted in shock after the spirit of Sarutobi declared that the perverted man that stood before Naruto was Jedi Master Jiraiya, "YOU'RE MASTER JIRAIYA?"
"Yeah so what," Jiraiya asked.
"But you're so old," Naruto said.
"Hey,"
"And a little crazy,"
"Hey,"
"And lets not forget the fact that you're a pervert,"
"ALRIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH," Jiraiya said. Clearly he had had it with Naruto. "I can't train him Sarutobi."
"And I won't let him old man," Naruto said.
"Jiraiya, Naruto needs to be trained in the ways of the force if we are ever to win this war," The voice of Sarutobi called. "You are the only Jedi master left. Train him Jiraiya, the Kyuubi must not be put in the hands of the empire."
"Fine I guess I have no choice," Jiraiya sighed.
"Kyuubi?" Naruto asked confused.
"Lets get to work," Jiraiya said and left the hut. They started with a quick jog to get warmed up. A few hours later Naruto collapsed on the ground.
"Heh…pervy sage," Naruto called.
"My name is Jiraiya," Jiraiya responded.
"Yeah whatever…I need to…no something," Naruto said, "earlier…in the hut…Sarutobi talked of something called the…Kyuubi…what is…it?" Jiraiya could tell he couldn't get out of telling this time.
"Ok I'll tell you, but listen up because I won't tell you this again," Jiraiya began. "There are nine creatures called the Bijuu. What planet they are from no one knows. They are powerful and each has a certain number of tails. These tails determine its power. The strongest is the Kyuubi which has nine tails. All they do is destroy everything in sight."
"So what does this have to do with me?" Naruto asked.
"Well, in order to save the planet the Bijuu is sealed in a person. And the person that the Kyuubi is sealed inside of," Jiraiya paused, "its you Naruto." Naruto froze, he didn't know what to say.
"so I have the most powerful Bijuu sealed inside of me?" Naruto said amazed at this. "Awsome now I have a way to bet the Empire!"
"NO YOU IDIOT," Jiraiya yelled punching Naruto in the face. "You must not use the Kyuubi's true power. It is nothing but the dark side of the force. It will use your emotions against you!"
"Wait I remember a time when that happened," Naruto said recalling an event. "I saw Sarutobi being struck down by Darth Hokage. I don't know what happened but, my blood boiled and I gained more power. It was like I wasn't even myself."
"And how did it feel?"
"It felt…good."
"See he played off of your emotions," Jiraiya concluded. "All of your emotions lead to the dark side. Happiness leads to greed, greed leads to jealousy, jealousy leads to hate, hate leads to fear, fear leads to suffering and that is the path to the dark side." He looked at Naruto, who was sleeping. "WAKE UP YOU IDIOT!! YOU DIDN'T HERE A WORD I SAID DID YOU?!"
"Relax pervy sage I heard you," Naruto said snapping to attention, "something about the path to the dark side and emotions." Naruto looked around and saw something he didn't see before. It was just a cave, but Naruto felt something strange about it. "Hey pervy sage what's in that cave."
"Oh that," Jiraiya said, "don't worry about it you're not ready for that part of the training."
"But what is it?" Naruto asked.
"Don't worry about it."
"What is it?"
"Don't worry about it."
"But what is it?"
"It's the cave of fear ok," Jiraiya said giving up.
"Cave of fear?" Naruto questioned.
"Yes and your not ready for-" Jiraiya was about to finish when he thought of something. "On second thought, you are ready for this. It is a very special training. So why don't you go inside."
"Ok I'll show you my true strength," Naruto said and ran for the cave.
"Beep bop beep bop whirl," R2 said once Naruto went inside the cave.
"I agree he talks big game," Jiraiya replied, "but can he handle this?"
The Cave of Fear looked just like a cave; nothing but darken, moss, and strange creatures.
"So what am I doing in here?" Naruto shouted.
"Don't worry," Jiraiya called back, "just keep looking." Naruto took one more step and out of the fog he appeared: Darth Hokage. Naruto armed himself with his lightsaber. Hokage immediently went on the offensive and tried to take two stirkes at Naruto. Naruto blocked them both and slashed Hokage's head off. Hokage's helmet exploded and revealed a face. Naruto could not believe who it was. The face was himself.
"What happened," Naruto asked Jiraiya later on.
"You failed," Jiraiya simple said.
"But how?" Naruto asked confused.
"Well you are angray with Hokage for what he had done to Sarutobi," Jiraiya explained. "You let your anger to take control you. When you let that happen it is like destroying yourself. You must learn to control your emotions or there is no way you can win."
Meanwhile somewhere in space, the Falcon was charging at the Impereal Star Destroyer.
"You're going to charge at that thing?" Sakura asked Sasuke shocked. "What are you crazy?"
How did they get into this situation? And what will the outcome be? Stayed to for next time we go back to see what happened while Naruto was on Dagobah. Next time:
