Welcome to the newest chapter of Naruto of the Orochi: Shrine of Destiny. I do not own Kannazuki no Miko/Destiny Shrine of the Maidens or Naruto. R&R.
As the words were spoken that would change the lives of Himeko and Chikane, Naruto could only stand there in shock as Kazuki explained the origins of the Sun Priestess and the Moon Priestess.
"One of the main purposes of the Sun and Moon priestesses to exist is to defeat the eight heads of the Orochi," Kazuki explained as Chikane and Himeko looked at each other in unison. "You can accomplish this task by awakening the ultimate weapon, Ame no Murakumo. This will be no easy task, Himeko and Chikane must both put their hearts into this to awaken this mighty weapon. You must both abandon any doubt that might seep into your heart and be willing to put everything on the line to defeat the Orochi. Or you will never be able to bring back Ame no Murakumo. Naruto, you must also abandon any doubt that might be in your heart and stand by the priestesses at all times. You were originally supposed to kill them, but in the end you defied your own destiny. Will you continue on your path as their protector or will you eventually become their destroyer?"
"I will protect both Himeko and Chikane with my life brother," Naruto answered confidently, not giving it a second thought. "I will train to learn how to use my mech and increase my power in order to become a better fighter!"
"Naruto, you were originally supposed to become the seventh neck of the Orochi," Kazuki replied. "In order to protect Himeko and Chikane, you must defeat the other necks of the Orochi."
"Hmm, that's it?" Naruto asked with a smug grin as he looked up at the air. "I got my mech, I can take em pretty easily like I did that guy earlier."
"They have their own mechs and they are hundred times stronger then the monster you just fought," Kazuki replied as Naruto looked at him with widened eyes. "This is no joke Naruto. If you want to protect the priestesses, you must be willing to defy everything and stop the Orochi."
"I am," Naruto answered as gave Kazuki a thumbs up. "I won't lose and I won't give in to the Orochi!"
"Naruto..." Himeko said as she looked at the blond haired boy, his face so calm and filled with courage. He seemed so sure of his words, no regret or denial in his eyes. She blushed as she looked at him, his courage giving her a bit of courage as well.
"I-I will do what I can!" Himeko blurted out as Chikane looked at her with a kind smile.
"I will be right here with you Himeko," Chikane said as she grabbed Himeko's hand and squeezed it softly. "We are in this together as well..."
"We will begin training tomorrow morning," Kazuki said as he motioned for Yukihito to follow him. "Be at the shrine at 5:00 am sharp and no later. We don't have any time to waste. Oh and Naruto, I need you to come back with me to the shrine now."
"No problem bro," Naruto replied as he walked up and gave Himeko a small hug, Himeko hugging back with her face bright red. Naruto then turned to Chikane, who looked away with an embarrassed look as Naruto grinned and gave her a hug as well. Chikane hugged back with a small smile as she and Himeko watched Naruto walk away, his blond hair blowing in the wind.
"How about you come stay at my house for the time being Himeko?" Chikane asked as she turned to Himeko. "We have plenty of space and I would feel horrible making you stay at the academy with everything that is happening..."
"Um, are you sure that is OK Chikane?" Himeko asked nervously as Chikane nodded with her usual kind smile.
"Of course it is," Chikane replied as she guided Himeko in the direction of her house. "You are always welcome and you know that..."
As Naruto and Kazuki returned back to the shrine, Naruto went into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of milk as Kazuki went into the other room and was heard shuffling through some papers. As Naruto took the bottle and started to drink out of it, Kazuki walked into the kitchen, holding five scrolls.
"What are those?" Naruto asked as he put the cap on the milk and set it down.
"These are what I found tucked in your jacket when I found you all those years ago..." Kazuki replied as he looked at the scrolls solemnly. "After examining them, I was able to figure out a lot about your past before I adopted you Naruto. It seems that you used to live inside a village called the Village Hidden in the Leaves. That's all I could figure out, but it seems that they didn't let you leave the village empty handed. What you had were called jutsu scrolls, scrolls that show you how to use very powerful techniques. It seems that these were the village's finest techniques they left with you. They must have known your destiny as well as I did..."
"So I must learn how to use these techniques in order to defeat the Orochi," Naruto guessed as Kazuki nodded.
"That is definetly a step in the right direction," Kazuki replied as he handed Naruto the scrolls. "I will then teach you how to wield a sword properly as well."
"I won't let you down brother," Naruto said as Kazuki smiled and patted Naruto on the head.
"You never have Naruto," he replied as Naruto beamed. "Now, let's get some training in before bed huh?"
"Yes sir!" Naruto shouted as he put the scrolls to his side and rushed outside. Kazuki looked out the window with pride as he watched Naruto examine the scrolls, intensly reading the as he prepared to fight against the Orochi..."
Meanwhile, in a secret location, sinister planning was taking place.
"So the seventh neck has rejected us," a woman said as she looked up at a teal haired man that was looking up at the ceiling. "What do we do now? He was supposedly the strongest out of all of us..."
"He is not the strongest out of us sister," a man said as he swung a chain around. "That is just a whole bunch of bullshit is what that is..."
"You are just mad because you can't defeat him," a girl teased as the man growled at her. "Why don't you go down there and show him your measly strength?"
"You are really pushing it..." the man warned as he looked at the girl. "I don't give a damn about the seventh neck. What I want to see is these priestesses..."
"It sounds like a waste of time," another woman said as she looked at a book. "Why waste you time with them? Allow the seventh neck to come to his senses and get his hands dirty..."
"He will never come to his senses," the teal haired man said as he looked around at all the people in the room. "I knew I should have never kept him there for so long..."
"So we can just blame you Tsubasa," the woman said as Tsubasa looked at her with a displeased look.
"I will rescue my brother from the clutches of these foolish humans," Tsubasa replied as he looked up at the ceiling once more. "I will not allow this foolishness to occur any longer..."
