The Tempest

Naruto w/kick-ass ninja skills from the start. AU.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.


Naruto was the first to arrive at the gate, having changed bathed and changed clothing. He now wore a long-sleeved orange shirt with a large, red Konoha leaf on the chest. He wore ankle length pants of the same red, with his special shuriken holster, with his ninjato slung at his left side. His forehead protector was a long, red bandana. His sandals were also red.

Sasuke arrived, hand in hand with Sakura, both looking ready. Tazuna arrived but three minutes later. Immediately, Obito came out of the wall, using the Hidden Among Rocks Technique.

"Woah! How'd you do that!" Sasuke asked incredulously.

"It's a supplementary earth move," said Sakura, "I've been working on it for a couple days now."

"Let's head out!" Naruto said with enthusiasm. They left the village gates and the leaf village far behind them. As they were walking, a sudden barrage of Shuriken came at them. Obito grabbed Tazuna and they blended into the ground

Earth Release: Earth Dome! Sakura responded with an impressive dome or rock, however, she fell to her knees in weakness. They were protected from the initial assault, although movement could be heard.

"Sasuke, see what's up, I'll help Sakura." Naruto said.

Sasuke left the safety of the earthen shield, and saw two near-identical missing nin, each from the Hidden Mist, wearing armor and clawed gauntlets. They both shot their gloves at him, which he dodged by jumping high into a tree. He felt a tingle in his eyes, they felt much different. He was seeing colors he'd never thought existed, and he saw his enemies immediately. He bounded out of the tree, landing 35 feet away from them. They shot their gloves at him again. He had a move he had wanted to test for a couple weeks, and this was his chance.

Shadow Clone Jutsu! He poofed up an additional copy of himself, and they both performed Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique! The flames zipped down the chains of their gloves, which the two detatched, and jumped to opposite sides, each jumping back at Sasuke after bouncing off trees. Sasuke jumped high into the air, and the two missing-nin collided with eachother. He then used Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!, which launched a ball of fire down towards the men, incapacitating them. He landed awkwardly on the ground, smiling. "I got them!" he shouted.


"I'm impressed." Obito said, ruffling Sasuke's hair.

"All you did was hide in the ground," Sasuke replied. "How's Sakura holding up?" he asked, turning to Naruto.

"I replenished her chakra, but she exerted a lot of effort. She'll need to keep it easy for a couple weeks, and she'll have to undergo some training to expand her reserves." He replied.

"I'll carry her then." Sasuke said, picking her up, bridal style.

The group continued their walk through the woods.


Long time between updates. Review!

If you're wondering, Naruto taught Sakura a bunch of Earth Release, and Sasuke fire moves and shadow clones.
