Naruto of the Whirlpool
By: Sheltie
I don't own Naruto at all
A/N: the month of training begins as well as many other things too.
Chapter 4
Hideko looked at his team. They were all in the finals and he was very proud, but this left him with a problem. He couldn't really train all three at once. But luckily his team knew this and came up with a solution.
"Hideko sensei, I will be training alone for my match" Ryo said.
"Oh, think you can beat the Hyuga yourself?" Hideko asked.
His tone wasn't laced with any malice, but piqued with curiosity instead.
"No, not by myself. But I'll ask my clan for help. I am sure they know of some ways to beating a Hyuga" Ryo said.
Hideko nodded.
"I'll also decline your training Hideko. Naruto needs your help more since he's facing the Uchiha. I think I can trained against my opponent with not much help" Mika said without a hint of arrogance in her.
Hideko nodded. He knew that Naruto would most of his time in training to fight the Uchiha.
"Well then Naruto, I guess that leaves you and me. I'll need to train you good to go up against the Uchiha. He may be arrogant and all, but his clan is powerful and you'd need to know how to fight against the Sharingan" he said.
Naruto nodded ready for whatever Hideko was about to dish out.
"Good, see you two in a month" Hideko said looking at his other two students.
They bowed and left leaving Naruto and Hideko.
/Scene Break/
Ryo got to a training ground and looked around after finding and feeling that no one was around he did some hand signs.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
A plume of smoke then a wolf appeared. About the size of a St. Bernard. It had a dark blue almost black coat with a silver-gray underbelly.
"You called Ryo?" it asked.
"Yes Lupa, could you give this to my aunt" Ryo said as he handed Lupa a letter.
Lupa took the letter into her mouth. She then the disappeared in a puff of smoke.
/Scene Break/
In the Kisaragi clan compound a woman was sipping green tea and snacking on some sort of buttery biscuits. She knew that it they were quite fattening, but she'd just burn it off in training. She had short black hair and brown eyes. She was wearing camouflage biker shorts, a white tank top that was covered by a black leather vest as well as a long sleeved grey jacket that had the Kisaragi clan emblem on the back.
"A message" Lupa said as she dropped the letter on the table.
The woman opened it and read it then nodded.
"Can you take me to him?" she asked.
"I can" Lupa said with a nod.
"Great, let me grab a few things then I'll be ready to go" the woman said.
A few minutes later she came back packed and ready to go.
"Right, let's hit the road" she said.
The woman and Lupa vanished in a plume of smoke.
/Scene Break/
Ryo saw Lupa appear, but with a passenger. Lupa after dropping off her passenger then left.
"So brat, you're fighting a Hyuga" the woman said.
"I am aunt Yuffie" Ryo said.
Before Ryo was one of the strongest ninjas of the Kisaragi clan. Yuffie Kisaragi. She was known within New Whirlpool as the best kunoichi of the Kisaragi clan. She had amazing skills in kenjutsu and taijutsu. She had the best success rate in assassinations and infiltration missions and had the highest amount of kills. She was a strong leader and led the Uzukage's Black-ops division. New Whirlpool had two forces one was the Anbu based GALE and the black-ops one. The black-ops was a splinter group of GALE and only handled the toughest missions like assassinations and infiltrations. Most of GALE did was protection detail for the Uzukage and village security and police force.
"Alright, tell me about the Hyuga" Yuffie said.
Ryo nodded and the began to tell Yuffie all about Neji Hyuga.
"He's from the Branch family as far as I can tell. He's got a superiority complex too. Also he's hung up about fate or something. I've heard he's supposed to be a prodigy or something. He's very skilled in Jyuuken and has a ruthless streak in him" Ryo said.
"How so?" Yuffie asked.
"In the prelims he fought his cousin, who is the heiress of the clan and he almost killed her and would of if it wasn't for the jounin stopping him from committing the act" Ryo said.
Yuffie clenched her hands. The Kisaragi clan like the Uzumaki clan always, and I mean always put family first before anything else and for someone to damn near almost kill their own blood angered the Kisaragi clan.
"I see. Well then, I got some training to put you through since you seem to want to put this Neji in his place. Am I right?" Yuffie asked.
"Yes aunt Yuffie" Ryo said.
"Right, well first things first. I'll need to help you trained against the Byakugan. I've fought more than my share of Hyugas and I know their Jyuuken quite well. I am not proficient in it, but will make a suitable sparring partner for you. Plus, I can give you this" Yuffie said.
She pulled out and a storage scroll and released the contents. What appeared was armor. She tossed it to Ryo.
"Tell me what you notice" she said.
Ryo looked at the armor and couldn't see anything different by its appearance really. It looked like standard Kisaragi clan armor they all wore. But then he started to feel it and found some places were more reinforced than other places this got him very confused as to why that was.
"So you've noticed it," Yuffie said.
"Yes, there seems to be more protection in certain areas" Ryo said.
"Yes. This armor was built to fight against Hyugas. The areas where the plating is thicker is where tenketsu points are located. For Jyuuken to work the Hyuga has to strike the tenketsu points directly. This armor protects it so your chakra points are not closed off. It still hurts like all hell, but you can still be able to use chakra" Yuffie said.
Ryo just nodded.
"Go on, try it" Yuffie said.
Ryo did and found that it fit him. Yuffie looked a bit smug.
"Is your aunt awesome or what?" she asked as she struck a victory pose with matching backdrop.
"Let me guess. Mom told you about me coming to Konoha and wanted me prepared just in case I face a Hyuga" Ryo said.
"Can't you ever just be amazed and astound by me?" Yuffie pouted and stomped her foot.
Ryo shook his head. Yuffie may be one of the strongest of the Kisaragi clan, but sometimes she acted childish.
"Okay, give me back the armor. I am going to train you into avoiding the Jyuuken" Yuffie said.
Ryo nodded since he knew wearing armor wouldn't be enough. So the training began.
/Scene Break/
Mika was walking around the village and found Hayate. She walked right up to him.
"You need to see a doctor for that cough," she said.
Hayate just blinked at the genin. He remembered her during the prelims and knew she was skilled as far as he could tell.
"I've been to the doctor and they don't know what's causing it," he said.
"That's because they are all idiots and could find their butts with a mirror," Mika said.
Hayate just blinked.
"Come with me and I'll fix you up" Mika said.
"I know our villages are allies and everything, but you're just a genin" Hayate said.
"So, in my village I am one of the best medic nins there is" Mika said without boast.
Hayate shrugged. What did he have to lose?
So Hayate and Mika went to the hospital where they found an exam room. Mika then began very professionally check Hayate out. She then nodded and muttered a few things then began pulling things out of her storage scroll then and there and began concocting something. Once it was done she handed it to Hayate. It was an odd object in the shape of the letter 'L'. It looked like it had a cartridge of some kind inside the top part of the 'L'.
"This is called an inhaler. You place this part to your mouth" gesturing to the lower part that had a hole in it, "and when you inhale through your mouth you press the top of this cartridge and a vapor is released. The vapor will enter your lungs and will help your coughing" Mika said.
Hayate was shocked that Mika was able to do this so quickly. He decided to try it and followed the directions Mika had given. He felt the vapor enter his lungs and he felt good, better than he had ever felt.
"Good take it two to three times a day for as long as you can. Your condition should clear up and be more manageable. Here are some extra cartridges and I'll show you how to load them," Mika said.
She showed Hayate then they left.
/Scene Break/
"Okay Naruto. I know Kakashi is training the Uchiha so that means I got to train you extra hard to be ready" Hideko said.
Naruto nodded.
"Good, now thankfully you didn't show much in the prelims so most of your skills are still a mystery to the Uchiha. This works to your advantage, but you can't let that go to your head" Hideko said.
Again Naruto nodded.
"Right, let's begin" Hideko said.
He had Naruto start with taijutsu. Now Naruto's talent wasn't taijutsu, but fuinjutsu and ninjutsu. But he knew he had to have a certain level of skill in taijutsu to be a good shinobi and not rely on one talent. Hideko though changed Naruto's training a bit. He needed Naruto to fight Sasuke without looking into the Uchiha's eyes. The Sharingan can entrance its opponent. So Hideko had Naruto train his other senses. Hideko also worked on increasing Naruto's speed since that would be key to beating the Uchiha. Since he knew that even if the Uchiha can see your attack with the Sharingan if you're faster than the Uchiha than they couldn't react fast enough to defend.
/Scene Break/
The training the three did was hard and they barely saw one another except may when they went into town and eat or at the hotel.
Yuffie was really beating Ryo into dodging the Jyuuken strikes.
"Come on brat, faster. You got to get faster," Yuffie said as she performed Jyuuken on Ryo.
Like she stated before she knew the Hyuga's taijutsu style very well after fighting against it many times. Though she was no expert and couldn't shut down the chakra points since she wasn't a Hyuga. But she could simulate very well and give Ryo live training.
Ryo was pushed to his limits, as Yuffie didn't just want him to dodge Neji's Jyuuken strikes, but all Hyugas no matter their skill. She didn't want Ryo to just rely on the armor to defend himself. She also upped Ryo's speed too while at it since she knew that Hyugas weren't known to be very fast and it could be an advantage against them.
"Okay, let's take a break" Yuffie said.
Ryo plopped to the ground exhausted. Mika, who had been watching this walked over and handed him a towel as well as a bottle of ice water.
"Thanks Mika, but shouldn't you be training for your match?" Ryo asked.
"I am, don't worry" Mika said with a smile.
Ryo shook his head.
"So Ryo, I have heard you got in contact with my niece?" Yuffie asked.
"I have. Her name is Tenten. Her teammate is the Hyuga I am facing" Ryo said.
"Hmm, has she decided to rejoin the clan?" Yuffie asked.
"I don't know" Ryo said.
"Well then what are we waiting for! Let's go and find out!" Yuffie shouted with exuberance.
Mika and Ryo sweatdropped at this.
/Scene Break/
Neji had finished his training for the day. Tenten was picking up her weapons.
"What are you doing here?" Neji asked coldly.
Tenten looked up to see Ryo and a woman.
"We're not here to spy on you Hyuga. Just to see my cousin. You can leave" Ryo said coldly.
Neji tried to glare back, but his glare was nothing compared to Ryo's, which was like cold steel with a razor edge. So Neji huffed and walked off.
"He definitely has one huge rod up his butt" Yuffie commented.
"Hello Tenten, have you given any thought to my proposal?" Ryo asked ignoring his aunt.
"I have" Tenten said.
"Hey, don't forget me. My name is Yuffie Kisaragi, I am your aunt. Your mother was my sister. Oh my, you look just like Diana when she was your age" Yuffie said in one breath.
Tenten just blinked staring at Yuffie.
"Sorry about that. Like she said she's Yuffie and she's one of the strongest members of the Kisaragi clan. She just sometimes acts like this" Ryo sighed.
"Um, okay" Tenten said.
"So, what's your decision?" Ryo asked.
"I accept, I want to be a part of the Kisaragi clan" Tenten said.
Yuffie squealed with glee as she grabbed Tenten around the waist and began to spin her around and around in happiness. When they stopped Tenten was very dizzy and she fell on her butt with one hand gripping the ground to keep her stable as the other went to her head to try and cease the spinning in her head. Ryo knelt down by her.
"You okay?" he asked.
"I think I am going to hurl" Tenten murmured.
Ryo just chuckled.
Yuffie stopped her happy dance she was doing after she had let Tenten go. She then pulled out a storage scroll and released a jacket. She tossed it to Tenten.
"Since you are now a part of the Kisaragi clan you need to wear our symbol" she said.
Tenten, now finally able to see straight looked at the jacket. It was grey-ish blue and had the Kisaragi clan emblem on the back. She put it on and it fit her.
"I've done it again!" Yuffie exclaimed as she struck a pose and a backdrop appeared.
"You mean you broke into Tenten's room checked out what her measurements are and made the jacket to fit her" Ryo said.
"Why do you have to do that?" Yuffie whined.
Tenten blinked. This woman, Yuffie. Broke into her room, which was laid with traps and didn't get caught in any and got her measurements and made this jacket for her. She wasn't sure to be angry for the break-in or surprised that Yuffie got by her traps. Those traps in her room were her best work really.
"Okay now. Time for the oath" Yuffie said seriously.
"Oath?" Tenten asked.
"Yes, all Kisaragi clan members take this oath. Usually when they become shinobi, but since you're already one it's a bit late. It still can be done though" Ryo said.
Yuffie had Tenten stand while Yuffie prepared things. It was very simple. Yuffie pulled out a kunai and Tenten noticed it was different from any kunai she'd seen before. It had markings on it as well as it looked lighter than regular kunai.
"This is a ceremonial kunai only used for this and other special things. Never used in battle" Yuffie said seeing Tenten look at the kunai.
Tenten nodded.
"Hold out your hand" Yuffie said.
Tenten did and Yuffie made a cut. Blood began to pool in Tenten's hand. She then squeezed it into a fist and recited the oath Ryo told her earlier.
"I Tenten Kisaragi vow on my life and blood to honor the Kisaragi clan and all it holds dear, to never go against my family, to fight for my family, my village with every drop of blood within me" Tenten said.
"I Yuffie Kisaragi accept your oath Tenten Kisaragi and welcome to the Kisaragi clan, my dear niece" Yuffie said.
Ryo then bandaged up Tenten's hand and Yuffie hugged Tenten.
Tenten felt so happy to have a family now. Sure she had her dad, but now she knew she was a part of a clan and this clan seemed to made up of powerful shinobi and kunoichi. She just hoped she'd fit in.
/Scene Break/
Samui panted as she took a rest from her training. She knew she had to work hard since she was facing Gaara, a jinchuriki. Though Gaara was stable now it didn't mean he wouldn't go easy on her. So she began training again.
Omoi and Karui were with her training themselves.
/Scene Break/
Naruto had just finished lunch and was heading back to the training ground. He then spotted something. He walked over and saw a long white haired man in a crouch. He could hear giggling as he seemed to peeping in on something. Naruto knew that behind the high wooden fence was the hot springs. This angered Naruto so he pulled out a kunai and wrapped a seal around then hurled it right underneath the man. An explosion happened and the man flew into the air landing right in the hot springs.
Screams of shock echoed then they turned enraged screams. Naruto smirked as he heard the man get pounded by the women. What he didn't know was that in the hot springs was several kunoichi and the man was getting a severe beat down. The man's cries of pain were quite high-pitched.
Naruto left whistling and headed back to his training grounds. He was in the middle of training when the white haired man appeared.
"What the hell did you do that for brat?" he asked.
"You're a pervert and you got was coming to you" Naruto said.
"I am not a pervert" the man said.
"Okay, then what are you?" Naruto asked.
"I'M A SUPER PERVERT!" the man exclaimed.
Naruto blinked. This man was proud of being 'super' pervert.
"Whatever, can you go now. I need to train" he said.
"What's your name brat?" the man asked.
"Who are you and why do you want to know is name?" Mika asked.
Hideko and Mika had come in. Hideko had checked in on how Mika was training. They had come back to see how Naruto was doing only to find this white haired man with Naruto. They then saw the strangest thing they'd have ever seen.
"I am the sage of Mt. Myoboku, I make women around me swoon with desire, men tremble upon hearing my name and my enemies flee in terror at the sight of me I am the mighty, the gallant Jiraiya of the sannin!" the man proclaimed as he did a funky kabuki dance and ended it with summoning a toad to strike a pose at the end.
This guy is a sannin? Naruto and Mika thought.
Hideko sighed as he saw this. He knew all shinobi had their quirks, but this was quite strange to say the least.
"So now that you know who I am, are you impressed?" Jiraiya asked.
"Not really, now you're just a perverted hermit, that's all" Naruto said.
"I'm not a-" Jiraiya was cut off.
"Right, right. I forgot you're a 'super' perverted hermit" Naruto said using air quotes on the word 'super'.
"Naruto why are you calling him that?" Mika asked.
"I caught him spying in on a hot spring on my way back from lunch" Naruto said.
Mika's eyes narrowed. She then pulled out several senbon needles.
"Oh, really" she growled.
"Yeah, I threw an explosive tag under his butt and blew him into the spring to give him his just desserts" Naruto said.
Mika smiled at Naruto's act. She was so proud of him.
"Yeah" Jiraiya grumbled as he still felt the stung of the explosive tag igniting so close to his rump. He then remembered Naruto's name and looked at the blond boy. He looked like Minato alright except he had Kushina's face.
"Say kid how about I train you for the finals?" he offered.
"No thanks, I'm good" Naruto said.
"I can teach you things you can only dream of" Jiraiya offered.
"Like what?" Naruto asked.
"Like this" Jiraiya said as he summoned a toad.
"I already know how to summon. I got a couple summoning contracts" Naruto said.
Jiraiya grumbled then he was hit with inspiration.
"Then I shall teach you a technique the Fourth created" he said.
A swirling ball of chakra appeared in his hand then he slammed it into a nearby tree obliterating where it hit.
"Huh, chakra shape manipulation. You concentrate a mass of chakra into the palm of your hand making it into a swirling ball. It combines power and control. Interesting" Naruto said.
Jiraiya was shocked Naruto knew this.
"Oh, Naruto is pretty good at picking apart ninjutsu when he feels like" Mika giggled.
"Yeah, I can see that" Jiraiya grumbled.
What he saw next shocked the toad sage. Naruto had a misshapen swirl of chakra in his right hand. It looked more oval or egg-shaped than a sphere, but Naruto had made this much progress with almost no time at all.
"Brat how'd you do that it took the Fourth three years to even get there?" Jiraiya asked.
"I got a good handle on my chakra control. Mika, you should try this. You got better chakra control than me. This should be easy for you" Naruto said.
Mika nodded and after a bit of instruction from Naruto she started forming a Rasengan in her hand. It looked more sphere like than Naruto's attempt.
Jiraiya couldn't believe his eyes. He then flicked his eyes up and saw the symbol on the headband.
"Whirlpool" he said.
"Yes, this is my team from New Whirlpool" Hideko said.
"'New' Whirlpool?" Jiraiya asked.
"Of course. As you know Whirlpool was destroyed, but we rebuild it better and stronger than before. We kept ourselves hidden til now really" Hideko said.
Jiraiya couldn't believe it. He hadn't heard of any village called New Whirlpool at all. He wondered why he hadn't since he had a pretty good spy network.
"Hey, I got it" Mika said as she showed off a perfect Rasengan in her hand.
"Nice girly, but does it have the power?" Jiraiya asked thinking that it was just a show.
"Let's see shall we" Mika said.
She then hurled the swirling ball of chakra instead of charging and slamming it into something. The ball of swirling chakra hit a rock. It decimated the rock and Jiraiya's jaw dropped.
"Nicely done Mika. Now I just need to work on mine" Naruto said as he kept working on forming a sphere instead an oval.
Mika nodded and walked over to help Naruto. Jiraiya grumbled as Hideko walked over to Jiraiya.
"He knows who is parents are, but he doesn't know you're his godfather" Hideko said.
"Why would sensei tell him?" Jiraiya asked.
"He didn't, I did" Hideko said.
Jiraiya turned to Hideko.
"Let them train and I'll tell you a story" Hideko said.
Jiraiya nodded and walked over to a shady spot and sat down. Hideko told Jiraiya how he met Naruto and everything that had happened. Jiraiya was angry at how the village had treated Naruto and was saddened he couldn't do a thing. But he vowed to himself to be a better godfather to Naruto.
/Scene Break/
It didn't take long for Naruto to master the Rasengan and Jiraiya was amazed. But what amazed him even more was Naruto's skill in fuinjutsu.
"Naruto is known as a prodigy in our village and unlike this one we don't throw that word around a lot" Hideko said.
Jiraiya was looking at one of Naruto's seals and couldn't believe how advanced it was.
"But this is a flash tag, but it looks so advanced" the toad sage said.
"That's the beauty in Naruto's work. He makes it look utterly complicated, but it's simple. It's a way to divert others from trying to copy his seals though he's got a few security measures in the seals too. This one is just the more obvious one" Hideko said.
"Unbelievable. And the explosive tag he used on me?" Jiraiya asked.
"That one. I am sure that one wasn't only a little powered up. He got ones a heck of a lot more powerful" Hideko said.
Jiraiya shivered and glad he was hit with a low-grade explosive tag and not a more powerful one.
"So what level is he?" he asked.
Hideko just smiled since he knew he was going to blow the toad sage's mind.
/Scene Break/
Tenten had a smile on her face. She was his her cousin and aunt. They were telling her all about New Whirlpool. They entered the weapons shop her father owned.
"Dad, I'm home" she called out.
"Hey Tenten I didn't think you'd be- YOU!" Tenten's father said as he pointed at Yuffie.
Tenten and Ryo blinked with confusion.
"Hey there, you've gotten old" Yuffie said with a smile.
"What are you doing here, I did my best to make Diana happy. I swear I did. She died of a sickness. I couldn't do anything to stop it. Please don't castrate me!" Tenten's father pleaded as tears rain down his face.
"You threatened to castrate my dad?" Tenten asked.
"Sheesh, that was years ago. Back when he and your mom were getting together. I just gave him a nice friendly chat about him taking care of Diana and such" Yuffie said nonchalantly.
"You kidnapped me, tied me to a chair and told me what you were going to do to me if I broke Diana's heart" Tenten's dad said shivering at them memory.
"I still don't understand why you think I came here to do that. I'm just here to train my nephew here for the finals" Yuffie said.
"So, you're not here to cut my friend off?" Tenten's dad asked as he still kept his crotch covered just in case it was a trick.
"Nope, but I do have a proposal for you" Yuffie said.
"Um, okay, what is it?" Tenten's dad asked still protecting what made him a man.
"Dad, I've been asked and decided to rejoin mom's clan. I am now Tenten Kisaragi" Tenten said.
"You are?" Tenten's dad asked.
Tenten nodded.
"Sir, with Tenten joining our clan that means she'll have to move back home with us, but we know she doesn't want to leave you so we're here tom offer you to move to New Whirlpool with Tenten and set up shop there" Ryo said.
"Why, I make a pretty good decent living here?" Tenten's dad asked.
"We can give you a much better prospect besides, you can be officially endorsed by the Kisaragi clan and that will boost business for you" Yuffie said.
Tenten's dad wasn't sure. So Ryo handed him some papers.
"Here look through that and let us know what you decided" Ryo said.
Tenten's dad nodded.
"Come on my adorable niece, let's get some food I'm starving" Yuffie said.
So the three Kisaragi clan members left to get some food. While Tenten's dad looked at the papers he had gotten. He had a big decision to make.
/Scene Break/
Jiraiya was still shocked as he saw Naruto unleashed a perfected Rasengan and obliterated a nearby boulder. He had taken a page from Mika's book and had learned how to throw the Rasengan. Why Jiraiya was still shocked even though he had seen Naruto complete the Rasengan before. Well, it took Minato three years to create and complete this jutsu and for Naruto it took no time really at all.
"Alright, I think am close to being ready for the finals" Naruto said.
"Yup, I can't wait" Mika said.
"You two have come far and I am sure Ryo has grown with his month of training. I can't wait to see how far you've all come since I took you on as my team" Hideko said.
Jiraiya shook his head. He had heard from his sensei about the invasion and knew that this would be an interesting time for Konoha.
End of Chapter
A/N: and that's the end of this chap. Not much in this one like I said. Just some fun training as well as humor. The next chap will be the finals and the start of the invasion. I'll also explain my version of levels of fuinjutsu in the next chap as well tell you what the Kisaragi clan symbol is. Thanks for reading and please review.
