I'm Back!
Sorry about the long wait but I had a few things going on so I wasn't able to write or post anything new.
Also, I kinda lost touch with Naruto since the anime is just going on a filler frenzy. They are still good episodes, but come on. Do we really need so many episodes about Hagoromo's life and his family? I am going to take my time in writing new chapters. I will guarantee that a new chapter will be out every month for this story. I just can't take them postponing the big fight. And then they spent a whole episode just to show Kakashi's face. I'm sick of all these fillers.
Reviews:
thewittywhy: I don't know if I will kill Sakura as some people don't want me too but she will be irrelevant to the story soon.
Demon Bro the 14th: I have been trying to keep it at the same pace but I just excited with what I'm writing and start adding new things as I write.
Animaman: I can't really answer all those questions as most will be answered in this chapter :].
Naruto-kun257: I will answer most of your questions as there are a lot. For adding The Last to the story, I can't really as I don't plan on adding Hinata to the harem. I love Hinata in the Anime but I have read too many Fanfic with Hinata. When Naruto and Narumi conversed I didn't really mean for him to flirt with her. It just kinda came out like that. I try to keep some of the original Naruto's personality in the story but not to much to make him dense.
That was some of the reviews. Sorry but I don't want to be one of those people who takes half of their chapter talking about reviews and other stuff. So if you want me to answer more, pm me.
Last I would like to apologize before hand but I'm not good at writing fight scenes plus I don't like when stories have long fights either so they might be shorter than you like.
Enjoy!
Forest
Bored. Miserable. Upset. Annoyed.
That is how you could describe Naruto in his current situation if the scowl and twitching eyebrow was anything to go by.
He was currently escorting Shibuki, leader of the Village Hidden in Waterfalls, back to his village. He was actually excited when he walked into the Hokage's office and was told this would be an A-rank mission.
Boy was he wrong.
They were only an hour out of the village and Naruto wanted to hit Shibuki with a rasengan where the sun don't shine.
At every noise or creature that they crossed, Shibuki would flip and start using him as cover. I mean, who is scared of a robin that is gliding to the ground in front of you?!
Shibuki. That's who.
"Shibuki-sama, why did you request this as an A-rank mission when you just needed an escort?" Naruto questioned. Shibuki peaked his head from behind the tree he was hiding behind a walked towards him.
"Well, from or shinobi who patrol the surrounding, they reported that there was an increase in missing-nin activity in the forests nearby. So I went to talk to Sandaime-san to send help if we needed it." He explained. "And he said he would after he got some more information on their numbers and capabilities. That is where you come in Naruto-san."
Naruto just nodded at the explanation. It would make sense. Instead of sending too many shinobi or not enough, you would want to find out how many their are and how strong they are.
'Also, me having the perfect summons for sending messages is ideal also.' He thought to himself.
"Aaaaahhhhh!" That is, if he doesn't rasengan himself before he gets to the village.
Outside Hokage Tower
Team seven just finished collecting their earnings from another D-rank. Ever since the Wave mission, Kakashi has been adamant on staying in the Village. It was D-rank after D-rank.
And the few C-ranks that they could do in the village were just copies of clan documents to the Village vaults or businesses.
Waste of energy.
"Alright team, that wraps up today. You are free to do what you want. Meet here tomorrow for our next mission." Kakashi said before disappearing in a poof.
"Thank Kami!" groaned Narumi. Satsuki just nodded her head in agreement as she was to tired to give a verbal response.
"Now that we are done, I can go see if Kiba-kun will go on a date with me!" Yelled Sakura. Before Narumi and Satsuki could say anything, she was already gone.
"At least we don't have to deal with her anymore." Satsuki said gratefully.
"Now I don't have to cover my ears every time she opens that trap of hers." Narumi said as both girls giggled. Narumi and Satsuki smiled as they walked down the streets together.
Since the Wave mission, the two bonded a lot. They went out to eat together and trained together in their free time while having a rivalry of some sorts. They became like sisters even though neither would admit it.
"Hey Satsuki, want to go catch in some training?" Narumi asked.
"Sorry, but Nee-chan promised to train with me today." She said a little upset she wouldn't get to train with her friend.
"Don't worry about it. We can train some other time. Catch you later." With that, they went their separate ways.
Narumi made her way towards Naruto's house to hang out with him. Over the past few months since he "claimed" her as his "wife," they spent a lot of time together. They spent hours together such that she ended up spending the night at his house more than with her parents.
She then remembered the first morning when they woke up after she first arrived here. She fought down a blush that surpassed tomatoes.
'I shouldn't be thinking like this. He is my BROTHER!' she thought. 'But, from what I heard and what he explained to me, clans do this all the time to keep their blood pure.' She was brought out of her thoughts when she approached his apartment and saw visitors waiting outside.
"Kaa-chan, Tou-san? What are you doing here?" Narumi asked.
Kushina looked at her and smiled while Minato gave a small grin.
"We were going to see if you and Naruto were home to see if you guys wanted to train together." Minato answered.
"Oh. Well Nii-chan told me he was going to get a mission today so he probably won't be back till later." They looked saddened by this. That was another botched attempt to make amends with their son.
"Well, we could train with just you musume. What do you say?" Kushina spoke up.
Narumi frowned at this. Since she learned about the life Naruto lived, she couldn't help but feel disappointed at her parents. She still loved them but couldn't believe they left her onii-chan to be abused by these ignorant villagers.
"Sorry, but I just got back from a tedious mission so I was just going to shower and relax." she replied.
"Why are you going to shower at Naru-chan's home though?" Kushina asked.
"It was closer than your house and I have some close here from when I slept over a few times."
"It's fine. Narumi-chan. I can just hiraishin us home then." Minato spoke.
"It's okay. I'm here already and just want to shower sleep as soon as I can." Kushina was becoming sadder by the moment.
"Please musume," she pleaded, "come home. It has been days since you came home. We miss you and want to be with you again." Narumi was visibly shaking at this point.
"Come home. Miss me. Be with me." She spoke through gritted teeth. They nodded not paying attention to how angry she was. "What about Naruto-kun?! What about him?! All he ever wanted was a home with a family to come home to! He wanted to be missed and someone to be with him! But you left him behind to get attacked by this stupid village!" She yelled at them. She was letting loose tears now. "You left my onii-chan to die!" She sobbed. They flinched at her outburst.
"You have to understand. If we didn't do what we did, you guys, no one would have a home." Minato said as Kushina nodded. She understood what Minato was saying as her village was destroyed. Even though they took out most of the attacking shinobi, a jinchuuriki would have been helpful in defending her village.
"But why did we have to leave him! You could have lied and said the jinchuuriki was in the village!"
"We couldn't do that. Every village has spies in them and they would have found out," Kushina said.
"That still doesn't make sense! You could have told Hiruzen to keep it a secret when you were "dying" that day! How did you think the village was going to take it! They just lost family and friends and they just found out the the Kyuubi was still in the village!" Narumi screamed. They looked down as they didn't have a response.
She was right. They knew she was right but there was nothing they could do about it.
Narumi took a deep breath before speaking again.
"If you will, I'm going to shower and go to sleep. I have had a stressful morning and don't feel like talking anymore." With that said, Narumi unlocked the door with her spare key and closed it behind her leaving Minato and Kushina in the hallway.
A few moments later, they left feeling exhausted from the argument they just had. Good thing Naruto was the only resident in the building.
Waterfall
"Well, this doesn't look like much of a village." Naruto stated as he looked around the surrounding area. All he could see was a shack in the distance that was about to fall over if the wind blew too hard.
"This isn't the village!" Shibuki scolded him. "Unlike all the other villages who are "hidden," we actually are. Only those born in Waterfall know how to get in and out of the village." He stated smugly.
Naruto shot his eyebrow up in surprise. An actual hidden village. That was useful. In all honesty, he thought all the hidden villages were stupid. It's obviously not a hidden village if everyone knew where it was.
The Hidden Leaf Village. In a forest where you can spot if you climb the top of the trees.
The Hidden Sand. It is surrounded by giant fucking walls with nothing else in sight for miles.
Mist Village. It has a trail leading right to the front gates.
Cloud. On top of a fucking mountain.
Rock. Hidden in a mountain range. Probably the best hidden of the major five.
"Well, I guess this is where we part ways then. Pretty fortunate or unfortunate, depending on how you look at it, that we didn't run into any rogue nin." Shibuki said. As he was about to head behind the waterfall, Naruto grabbed his arm.
"What are you do-" He was cut off when Naruto made a shushing motion with his hand.
"Do you hear that?" Naruto asked.
"No. I don't hear anything."
"Exactly. Not a bird or cricket. Something is up." Naruto let go of him and turned towards him. "You said only people from your village know the entrance to the village, right?" Shibuki nodded. "Do you have any shinobi that went rogue recently?"
Shibuki thought for a moment before his expression turned to a shocked one.
"Suien! He recently went rogue. We don't really know why but some say he was talking about the Hero's Water before he left."
"Hero Water? What is that?" Naruto questioned.
"The Hero Water is special water that is produced in our village. It is produced by our great tree in the middle of the village." Shibuki explained. "When someone drinks the Hero Water, the get ten times the chakra with it also becoming more potent…"
"But…" Naruto said seeing that there was a catch.
"It shortens your life by how much you drank." Shibuki said sadly as he remembered his father drinking the water.
Naruto nodded signifying that he understood what it meant.
Unbeknown to them both, Kurama heard everything and narrowed his eyes.
"Well let's go see if anyone infiltrated the village than." Naruto spoke.
"Yes, let's. But first," Shibuki reached behind home before pulling out a piece of black cloth. "I need you to wear this."
Naruto just gave him a deadpan look.
"Are you serious. You ask for help and want me to be blindfolded as I try to help you?!"
"It's to keep the entrance to the village secret!" Shibuki argued.
"Fine," Naruto grumbled.
When Naruto put on the blindfold, Shibuki led him behind the waterfall and they entered on of the water holes that led to the village. Within a minute or two, they emerged in the tree.
"You can remove the blindfold now." Shibuki whispered.
"You could have told *cough* me we were going to be *cough* underwater for so long! I nearly drowned!" He whispered/yelled.
"Stop being a baby and be quiet." Shibuki told him.
"I'm not the one who pissed himself when a bird flew in my face." Naruto grumbled. He shook his head before listening beyond the tree.
What he heard made him furious. Children were crying. Women were begging to let their kids go. The men were making grunt noises from being beaten. Then he heard the man behind it.
"Come on out Shibuki-sama! We know you're here. A little birdie told me they saw you enter the village." He yelled. "You're not going to keep your dear old sensei Suien waiting are you? Just bring me the Hero Water and nobody gets hurt."
Naruto turned around to tell Shibuki to stay calm but he was gone. Cursing under his breath, he made a few Shadow Clones and went to find him.
When he found him, he was holding a blue gourd that most likely held what Suien wanted.
"What are you doing?" Naruto questioned.
"This is what he wants. If I give it to him he will leave and let all those people go." Shibuki replied.
"You can't give it to him! We can figure out a way to take him down and not give him the Hero Water. We just have to think."
"How do the two of us stand a chance of facing him?! He probably has more people than we can handle! What can genin do against a jounin like him?!" Shibuki shot back.
Naruto clenched his fists and grinded his teeth. People always underestimated him just because of his rank. When were people going to see that rank doesn't matter and skill does. Hell, there is a possibility that he could fight a god and win while still a genin…
Naruto grabbed Shibuki by the collar and pulled him to his eye level and glared at him.
"Is that all you can say?! Do you want to live your entire life as a coward?! If you just hand over the water, who's to stop him from killing the villagers and taking over the village.?!" Naruto yelled.
"I'm not a hero! I can never be a hero! All a hero is good for is dying! My father tried to be a hero and drank the water. He saved the village but he died shortly after. He left me by myself! How could he do that?!" Shibuki said now in tears.
That made Naruto involuntarily flinch.
"He did what he had to. He saved hundreds of lives for being a hero even if it cost him his life. He made sure you had a home to live in." Naruto sighed and let go of his collar where Shibuki fell on his butt.
"Stay here and be a coward for all I care. I'm going to try and save your village." He paused. "I may not be a hero, but when people are in trouble, I can't sit by and watch them get hurt." With that said, he disappeared in the tunnel leaving Shibuki to think about what he said.
With Suien
"Do you think he will come Suien?" Asked a girl that looked like she was in her early twenties.
"He will. He's a coward and will do anything to save his skin." Replied Suien. He looked like he was about to say something else but a squelching sound interrupted him. Him and the girl turned to where the noise came from.
The man who was beating on a merchant stand owner was currently on the floor with a kunai lodged in his neck. No doubt he was dead.
"One down, twenty-four to go." A voice said from behind them. When they turned around to see the owner of the voice, they saw it was Naruto.
"Who do you think you are brat?" Suien said.
"I'm the guy who's going to kick your ass!" Naruto replied while pointing at him. "The name's Naruto Uzumaki dattebayo!" Suien just scowled at him.
"Kill him!" Suien shouted at the rogue nins. Three went to attack but before they could get near him, they felt something lodged in their spine.
"You like that? That's one of my specialties. Shadow Clones." Naruto informed them. Suien clenched his fists.
"Useless. Make sure the hostages don't get away. I'll deal with the brat myself."
The remaining ninja went to guard the hostages not noticing Naruto's smirk.
"So you think you're hot shit now, huh. What can a green genin like you do to an experienced jounin like me? " Syien mocked.
"How about you come an-" Naruto said before he was interrupted.
"Aaaahhh!" They both looked towards the tree to see Shibuki running at Suien with a water sword.
Just when he was in range of Suien, Suien dodged his slash and kicked Shibuki while grabbing the gourd he had around his waist.
"Haha. Hahaha. Hahahaha!" He laughed. "I knew the idiot would come! Thanks a lot Shibuki. You finally gave me the Hero Water." Suien mocked.
"Really? You decided now to try and be a hero?" Naruto gave Shibuki a deadpan look while Shibuki looked at the ground in embarrassment.
"Now to deal with you brat." Suien smiled evilly before taking the cork off the gourd and drinking the water.
Naruto went wide eyed. He could literally see the chakra building in him and feel the potency of it. Not to mention his reserves just increased ten-fold.
'Kurama, I'm going to need your chakra.' Naruto thought.
"Fine, but you can only use the cloak for ten minutes before your body gives in to it. You haven't trained enough to handle it all." Kurama replied.
"Don't worry. I just need to outlast him. Shibuki said it increases your chakra for a limited time. If I can just avoid or play defense, then his body will start to wear down from the stress."
As soon as Naruto started using Kurama's chakra, everyone stopped. They all felt a massive wave of power but it wasn't filled with malice.
Suien was shocked. He was staring at a fresh genin that he didn't sense any massive chakra from. Now, what stood before him was a something much more than a genin.
"What's the matter? Fox got your turn?" Naruto smirked.
Suien snapped out of his stupor and adopted a scowl.
In moments notice, they both shot out towards each other.
That was chapter three. I know I said I will do the waterfall mission and Chunin exams in this one, but I'm kind of fed up with the anime right now.
Until they get their shit together, I will be taking my time with this story. I will write crossovers though.
I will be writing a NarutoxHighschoolDxD story though.
Until Next time!
