A New Friend! A New World!
Still looking for a name for the Girl power team: Kurenai + Sakura + Ino + Hinata.
I have a surprise for you guys for the Zabuza part even though that is many chapters away. Not telling yet though that would spoil it.
Also I might have to stop writing for a while. I'm having my exams soon and I really need to focus. I might be able to write and post a chapter or two on the weekend but that might be it for a while.
I'm also planning to write through the entire Naruto series.
In this chapter Yonata gets several scrolls left to him by his grandfather. You're going to love these jutsu.
Chapter 4: The Okami scrolls: Holy and Unholy?.
Hiruzens office.
After Yonata had finished two bowls of ramen with Naruto, they wished each other a good night. Naruto went to his apartment with a happy feeling for the first time in his life. 'This is without a doubt my best day ever!' Naruto thought.
Yonata started heading back to the hokage tower, since the sandaime had postponed their meeting. 'Tomorrow we don't have school. That means Naruto can help me with my training all day long.' Yonata thought as he climbed up the stairs of hokage tower. 'I can't wait!'
Tatane sat behind her desk outside of the sandaime his office. She was doing some minor paperwork when she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. She reached for the kunai that hung on a hook hidden under her desk. She wasn't expecting an attack, but in all her years working here the hokage has been attacked more times than she could remember. As she saw Yonata coming in for the third time today she let the kunai be and continued with her paperwork.
"You can go inside. He's been waiting for you." Tatane said before Yonata had a chance to ask anything.
Yonata walked up to the door, knocked and said "Sandaime-sama? It's me, Yonata Okami." "Come in." Was the answer. Tatane smiled. 'Such a polite boy.' She thought.
"Hello Yonata, have a seat." Hiruzen said as he pointed to a chair in front of the desk.
The office was lighter now than it had been last time. The curtains were open and the last rays of the setting sun were lighting up the room. Yonata sat down, as did the Sandaime who had been standing by the window, looking outside.
"I looked over the scrolls you had given me, and have come to a decision." Yonata raised his eyebrows. "But first I'd like to clear something up." A moment of silence. "When you first came into my office you summoned and sealed several items from that scroll you carry with you. But when I asked you about your day at the academy you told me you didn't even know how to perform the most basic of jutsu. Why is that?" The hokage said. One of the anbu had pointed this fact out for him and implied the boy might be a spy.
"My mother taught me. Whenever my father and I would go out hunting we would always have to carry a lot of stuff with us. So my mother suggested using sealing scrolls to carry everything. I still remember the time they fought over that. My father was to stubborn and said that it would make me stronger by carrying all that weight." "I see." The Sandaime said with a smile. He knew all too well how a father wanted their sons to be strong, while as a mother only wanted to look out for her children wellbeing.
"Well on to the matter of the scrolls. Your grandfather Nogata Okami, and his daughter, your mother kept a detailed report on their missions progress." The sandaime said as he took up the blue scroll. "This scroll will be kept here in the mission registry." He said as he laid the scroll to the side. Yonata nodded as he had no need for it.
"This scroll however is for you. Is a letter from your mother telling her story and her wishes for your future. It mentions your clans training grounds and the clans estate. Unfortunately we are unable to find it. I'm certain it is here in Konoha. But it seems to be sealed away from vision, since your grandfather was the last one of his clan and left for the mission." He handed a red scroll to the boy.
"Now then we have this last scroll here." He said as he picked up a green scroll. "This scroll is from your grandfather to you. He says here he's leaving you the clans secrets and all of its jutsu to you. There is a seal at the end of the scroll which holds another scroll with the so said secrets."
The Sandaime's face suddenly turned serious. "At the end of the letter your grandfather warns, threatens and insults the current hokage not to stick his nose into the jutsu of another ones clan." "I summoned the scroll to be inspected for security measures. It was written in a code we can't crack, so against my better knowing I have decided to give you the scroll anyway so you may revive your clan." He handed the scroll over. But the expression on his face didn't change.
"Lord sandaime-sama, I promise you that these jutsu won't be used to harm this village or any of the villagers." Yonata said as he laid his hand on his hart while accepting the scroll. This seemed to put the old man a bit at ease.
Nara clan estate.
Shikamaru came home to his clans estate that night. He had been hanging out with Chouji after school. "Tadaima." Shikamaru said as he entered the house. "Okaeri, Shikamaru. How was your day?" Shikaku said. Shikaku is Shikamarus father. "Shikamaru Nara! You're late, so don't go expecting a warm meal from me at this time at night!" Shikamarus mother yelled from upstairs as she was cleaning. "tsch! Man this is troublesome." Shikamaru said. "Don't worry your mother left a plate for you on the table." Shikaku whispered.
Shikamaru headed towards the kitchen to heat up his dinner. "So how was your day?" "Unexpectedly troublesome." The boy said as he put his plate in the microwave. "How so?" Shikaku knew that unexpectedly troublesome meant something happened today that doesn't normally happen. "We got a new classmate today." "Oh that's nice." Shikaku said as he sat down behind a shogi board in the living room.
"Not really, he said he came from the land of snow." "Was he lying?" Shikaku asked while he started putting the pieces on the board. "No he told the truth all right, the kid was wearing nothing else but furs. And that in the middle of summer. Now that's troublesome." *PING* the microwave signaled the food was warm.
Upstairs a woman heard the sound and she breathed more easily now that she knew her son hadn't already eaten. She warned her husband not to lay a finger on the food. The woman in her own way was a genius at manipulating her family into doing the things a normal mother would have troubles with. 'What am I going to do with that lazy kid and husband of mine.' *sigh* 'Why do they always have to be so troubleso…' *sigh again* 'If I don't watch myself that habit is going to rub off on me.' With that she continued putting away her husband's clothes in his dresser while her shadow was folding up the clothes of her son.
(Mothers work really hard, so be nice once in a while. Just remember all the times you were sick.)
Meanwhile downstairs Shikamaru had taken his plate out and seated himself on the opposed side of his father. "So he wasn't lying. Then what's the problem?" Shikaku asked. "He's smart." "Smarter than you?" "I don't know. Just smarter than a kid our age should be." "How so?"
The game had already started Shikaku had made the first move and Shikamaru had reacted to his move as he always did. More pieces were moved, and then Shikaku noticed he wasn't protecting the king as he should. Instead Shikamaru was being protective of a piece all the way in the back right corner, from Shikaku's perspective. Shikaku knew that Shikamaru sometimes played his game as his day had gone, and he knew he assigned his pieces to his classmates.
Shikamaru had been protective of the piece that represented Naruto. "You think he's after the Uzumaki, don't you?" his father stated in surprise. "I'm not sure but he could have picked anywhere to sit and he chose to sit next to Naruto. …All the way in the back." Shikamaru emphasized the word back. Shikaku was just about to place one of his pieces bringing him closer to certain victory. But when his son finished his sentence the man sighed.
*sigh* And he placed his piece closer to the piece representing Naruto. Shikamaru moved Naruto to safety. Shikaku moved another piece to take the Naruto piece in the next turn. Then Shikamaru did something Shikaku didn't expect. Shikamaru moved his own piece, the piece that represented himself in between the two. "You confronted him?!" his father almost yelled out. "Shikamaru, the first rule of the Nara house of tactics is to observe our opponent first. Only then do we strike." "I know, there's just something about this kid that doesn't sit right with me."
The two finished their game in silence while Shikamaru finished his food as well. When the game was finished the two went to sleep. As soon as they had left the living room neither one could remember who had won the game. Both were still thinking if this new kid would be a threat to Naruto or worse to Konoha.
Training area 2.
The next day. At 7:23 in the morning. 'Where is he? He should have been here half an hour ago.' Naruto thought as he started to get bored and angry. Another minute passed as Naruto was about to go look for Yonata when he finally arrived. "Sorry Naruto. I don't have an alarm yet so I woke up late. Plus I've been reading these scrolls my mother and grandfather left me." "Humpf! You could have let me know yesterday." Naruto said totally being unreasonable. Naruto hated to have to wait. "I told you I'm sorry. But come on, check out this jutsu." Yonata said as he pulled out the scroll that was sealed inside the green scroll from last night.
Yonata opened the scroll and laid it on the ground. Naruto and Yonata were sitting on their knees watching at the scroll. "I don't understand a thing that's written there!" Naruto said. "That's because it's written in code. But look what happens when I cut my finger on the edge and pour my chakra into the paper." Yonata said. He then moved his index-finger over the edge of the paper, cutting his finger and letting a drop of his blood fall onto it. Naruto looked on amazed as the code of weird symbols on the first row seemed to be melting and taking on a different shape before solidifying again. Naruto could now read the following: Blood-bearer has been acknowledged as a member of the Okami-clan. Release chakra into paper to reveal clan secrets.
"Now watch what happens when I pour my chakra into the paper!" Yonata said as he grabbed the end of the scroll and closed his eyes. Slowly the rest of the symbols started to transform. Though not all of them. Suddenly the symbols stopped changing not even close to the end of the scroll. Only three jutsu had been revealed: 1 Holy jutsu; chakra cloak. 2 Holy jutsu; healing orb. 3 summoning jutsu; Wolves.
These three jutsu were fully transformed so you could read them clearly. But with the fourth jutsu only two words were readable: 4 Unholy jutsu; ~~~~~~. The rest was still unreadable.
"What happened why isn't the rest of the jutsu showing?" Naruto asked. Naruto suddenly realized his friend was out of breath. "Because….the scroll….reveals more jutsu….as you put more chakra into it. And I'm all out at the moment. I practiced all night and I'm only able to reveal the first two words of the fourth jutsu." "Here let me try." Naruto said as he took the scroll, to curious about the fourth jutsu to realize how dangerous the scroll might be to someone without the right blood. Luckily for him the scroll just recoded its content and rolled itself up faster than the two could say the word ramen.
"Damn, what now?!" Naruto asked. "Let's just focus on the first three shall we." "Okay if you say so."
The two boys read the instructions on the scroll to perform the chakra cloak.
1 Holy jutsu; chakra cloak.
The chakra cloak is a holy jutsu used to protect the casters body against every kind of attack except genjutsu. Some attacks may be too powerful to be absorbed but the impact of the attack will be significantly lower.
Step one: bring your chakra outside your body.
Step two: surround yourself with the chakra. (apply like a layer of water. Be sure to cover every inch of the body else it won't work.)
Step three: Harden the chakra into a solid state. This will allow you to protect yourself against most ninjutsu and taijutsu attacks. Change the chakra to a rubbery state to defend yourself from any sharp objects coming your way.
"Wow! We have to try this jutsu Naruto, we just have to." Yonata said. "Yeah I agree…" Naruto stopped in the middle of his sentence. "What's wrong?" Yonata asked. "Aren't these your clans secret jutsu? Do you think it's okay for me to see these, let alone learn them." Naruto said. "I see your point." Yonata said. "I know! I'll allow you to learn the cloak jutsu if you promise me that you'll teach me one of yours once you have one of your own." "Yeah that sounds reasonable. It's a deal."
Soon the two boys started training, trying to bring their chakra outside of their bodies was easy. The hard part was controlling that chakra once it was outside. The boys practiced the jutsu for hours when they collapsed from exhaustion. Even though Yonata had to take several breaks already to replenish his chakra. "Where do you get all that energy from?" Yonata asked as he fell to the ground together with Naruto. The boys were laying with their heads next to one another but their feet were facing in opposite directions. "Heheh!" Naruto laughed proud that his friend had acknowledged his strength and stamina. The smile disappeared from his face as he said "This is impossible! Dattebayo!" "Yeah we need to learn how to control our chakra outside our bodies first else we'll never get this jutsu." Yonata said.
"That's it! I know someone who can help us with that!" Naruto yelled as he suddenly sat up straight.
"Who?" Yonata asked as he turned on his stomach to look at Naruto.
"Trust me. This person is an expert at chakra control."
End Chapter 4: The Okami scrolls: Holy and Unholy?.
Hey guys it's me. Man I'm tired, need to recharge my chakra.
So I've had a message from Primo4 who came up with a name for the girl power team. Thanks for that by the way. The name is: "The Blooming Flowers of Konoha". The name isn't decided yet though so if you think you have a better name for the team let me know by writing it in the review or sending me a mail.
I'll be studying for my exams the coming weeks so I won't be able to upload a new chapter every day. Also since were nearing the beginning of the anime I'll be watching the episodes again to regain some of the lost memories.
Also next episode the first glimpse of romance maybe? I have an idea but I'm not sure if I'll be putting it into the next chapter.
Don't forget to follow favorite and review. See ya!
