Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or any of its characters. However I do have the ability to use them for the sake of fan fictions (wait thats to serious). Ok, but I have kidnapped them and me writing this story was part of the ransom.
This is the story of Naruto told in a different manner. No different characters, just the story remade. NaruHina
Ok here are the results of the sword teacher poll
Auron (Bushido)- 8
Kenshin from Rouroni Kenshin (Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu)- 4
Hayate (Whatever Style he uses, after voting if he wins I'll look it up)- 0
Screw it Naruto doesn't need swords- 0
(A new one was added? 0o) Auron and Kenshin mix- 4
Well folks it looks like Auron had won the popular vote and will be teaching Naruto Bushido. (Auron fans celebrate, Kenshin and mix fans start to leave) But hey, I do have something to say about the votes. (Everyone stops, and listens) To say that I was suprised with the results, well that would be hitting the nail right on the head. I didn't expect so many people to vote for a mix up between the styles, do to the fact that the styles are so different. I mean its not impossible, but it would be difficult to combine them without doing one thing. Making Naruto way to powerful. I mean I was pushing it when I was thinking of teaching him Bushido, if he learns both he would be almost invincible! I guess I could try to make weaknesses, but that also would be difficult. So here is what I decided, for now the vote stands, Auron will teach Naruto Bushido, but I will hold another vote around a time where Naruto would have lots of time (Tsunade Retrieval, filler replacing the current filler in the anime, or even during the three year timeskip) to decide if Kenshin should really come into the story and teach Naruto the Hiten Mitsurugi Style as well, don't vote on it now, we will cross that bridge when we come to it.
I do have to thank you all for voting, I have to admit I didn't think that you all would want something this AU, but hey apparently I was wrong.
Also I would like to note, that the special reviewers that I listed in the last chapter will now have their names in bold during my response to reviews. Now its time to respond to reviewers;
Infinite Freedom- Hey its coming, just settle down.
Dragon Man 180- Yeah I could see Auron becoming a drinking buddy with Tsunade, after all he does have that huge jug of Sake! And for the reason Sarutobi told Naruto, there are 3. First, because its my fan fiction. Second, he figured Naruto trained under Jiraiya, and that he knew high level jutsus (Shuriken and regular Shadow Clone Jutsu), so he figured he might be worth telling. And third, because I felt that it would help jumpstart Naruto's relation with Auron in case Auron won (You will see what I mean in this chapter).
Zoneshifter D- Kill joy.
Spartan-251- I know how you feel I hate cliff hangers as well. And thats why I made Auron one of the options.
Lyteko- First off, the second chapter didn't serve any purpose except to give my voter time to decide upon the special guests, so don't do so much nit picking, plus there is a whole lot of story left.
Kai Dragoon- I think thats what pushed people to vote for Auron in the first place. Its original, its better than what has been shown as "swordsmanship" in the manga and anime at this point, and the possiblities are endless.
S-Wanderer999- Well, in Final Fantasy X, Auron's overdrive was called Bushido, so I'm sorry if I made a mistake, though I will continue to call it Bushido instead of Aikido in order to not confuse people.
lover143- Actually, arse is still ass, only pronounce with a Midevilish accent. And yeah school is a pain. And thank you, I didn't think anyone would like my story this much.
obliviandragon- Well, I suppose if I decide to have them appear as special guests Naruto can pick some things up from them.
skelethin- Yeah, a lot of people suprisingly like the mix up idea, and about the coments deal with it. And yeah the last one was kinda rushed because, one; I haven't perfected the style of proper cliff hanging, and two; in this chapter I will make my first fight scene for real.
Well, without further ado, here is the next chapter of Naruto: An Alternative story! Guest Starring: Auron!
UPDATE: Fixed this chapter thanks to a comment from Zoneshifter D about chapter 7.
Last Time
Naruto hurried to his spot for two reasons, both having to do with physical harm, fan girls, and villagers. As soon as he was at the trees outside of his spot he stop, frozen in both fear and shock. For their in his spot resting on a rock, was a man, and that man fit Sarutobi's discription perfectly.
Chapter 6- Auron Part 2
Naruto stood frozen right where he stood there barely twenty feet away from him was the man that had knock out ten ninja of Konoha. At first he didn't have any idea what to do, he could run to Sarutobi, but what if he heard him, he could try to fight him, but if he was good enough to take out ten ninja, what chance did Naruto stand? Then he remembered that Sarutobi told him to try to talk to him, 'So thats what I'm going to do, but first incase things got a little dicey.' he thought forming his hands into a familiar cross shape.
The man was sitting there on the rock he was on, waiting for his little visitor to show himself, the man knew he was there the entire time he had been there, he was just waiting. After a while he thought that he would have to start this little conversation. "Hey you in the bushes, come on out I won't bite you." After he had said this there was a sudden gasp in the bushes, a few seconds later Naruto had shown himself.
'Hmmmm... a kid? This is a bit of a suprise especially after those ninja they sent earlier.' He thought as he took a few glances at Naruto. 'Doesn't seem to pose much of a threat.' He thought as he scooted over on the rock.
"Come over here." Naruto quickly obayed the order and sat on the available space on the rock, he looked at the man, he fit Sarutobi's description right down to the pony tail.
"So, whats your name kid?" As soon as the man asked the Naruto started fuming over being called a kid.
"Hey! Don't call me a kid, I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Remember that name cause I'm going to be Hokage one day!" Naruto said puffing himself up to make himself look bigger.
The man couldn't help but chuckle at the boy's outburst. He reminded the man of a certain other loud mouth blonde.
"Alright, Naruto, so what are you doing here?" This question once again lead Naruto to a rant.
"What am I doing here, I could ask you that very same question! This is my secret training area!"
'Hmmm, that explain a few things.' The man thought as he glanced around seeing kunai stick out of trees, scorch marks around the entire area, he even noticed that the rock had even been beaten up a little.
"Looks like you've been busy." The man said under his breath.
"What did you say?" Naruto said not being able to hear him.
"Nothing, but as to what I'm doing here, I wander, you see, and I found this spot, I had been walking for a long while so I decided it might be a good spot to rest."
"Alright I believe ya." Naruto said not sensing a lie, "So why did you come so close to Konoha." Naruto asked deciding to get some answers for the Hokage.
"Like I said I wander around, helping people who need help if they deserve help." The man said being very straight foward.
"Oh! Are you some kinda hero?" Naruto asked slightly excited.
The man's face showed some sadness in it after the question saying, "I'm no hero, I'm just a..." trailing of at the very end. Naruto just sat there waiting for an answer.
"Auron." Naruto was a bit confused because he never heard of an "Auron".
"My name." The man said sensing his confusion.
"Oh, nice to meet you Auron."
"Likewise." Auron said while looking at the kid he had just met. Auron was good at reading a person's thoughts by looking at someones face, he could tell the kid's mind was busy with some other thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Naruto was suprised at Auron's question, how could he tell that he was thinking of something outside their current conversation?
"Well, I was thinking about some stuff... but you probably don't have time to listen."
"Ki... Naruto, I'm a wonderer, I have all the time in the world." Auron said while turning to face the kid.
"Well, you see Auron, I'm an Academy student and its summer vacation soon, and all the the other kids are talking about how they were going to spend time with their families and stuff, and well..." Auron waited for a few seconds so that Naruto could get it together, "I don't have a family to spend time with." Auron immediately knew what the kid was going through, he had seen the same thing with Tidus while he was growing up. "I mean I have a few people to spend time with, Jiraiya..."
"You mean the perverted writer of that Make Out Paradise book series?"
"Yeah." Auron shuddered, hoping the kid wasn't going to become a pervert. "Anyway, he took care of me from when I was six to when I was ten, and now he checks up on me now and then, but he is judt so busy writing the next part of his book." Auron was getting into the kids conversation with the last part. "Then there is Iruka-sensei, my teacher at the Academy, he spends time with me, but he also has a lot on his plate with the Academy and all. Then there is old man Hokage." Auron was suprised to hear that this kid knew the Hokage personally, "He talks with me every now and then, he even buys me ramen from time to time, but being Hokage he also has a lot to do."
"So what your saying is that your upset because your going to be alone a lot during this "summer vacation" thing that is coming up." Naruto nodded. "Hmmmmm." Was all Auron could say before he got up.
"Where are you going?"
"Not much to do around here so I'm heading out."
"Wait, I have a few more questions!"
"You are not ready to hear my story."
"Wait dammit!" Naruto yelled as he hurled a kunai at Auron who just simply tilted his head to the side to dodge it.
'The kid is pretty fiesty.' Auron thought with a bit of a grin on his face.
"Alright then Naruto, how bout this, if you can beat me in a fight, then I'll tell you every little detail about myself." Naruto thought about the proposal for a second, he figured that it was worth a shot.
"Alright fine then, but don't start complaining when I win!" With that Naruto got into a fighting pose.
"Heh, I won't even need to use both of arms to beat you." Auron said and without a second of hesitation got down into his stance.
They both stared each other down for a few seconds, then Naruto made the first move flinging a few shuriken at Auron who simply deflected them all with his giant sword, then without missing a beat he charged towards Naruto he tried to slice Naruto's leg off Naruto simply jumped to dodge his move, then he tried to strike Naruto across the head by swinging the blunt part of his sword toward him, Naruto did a mid-air backflip to dodge this attack landing on the ground. Then tried to land a kick into Auron's stomach, which was caught by Auron's left arm.
"I thought you said you didn't need both arms to beat me!" Naruto said with a grin.
"I don't, but it makes it easier." Auron replied.
Using his free leg he tried to kick Auron across the face, Auron simply dropped Naruto's leg and tilted his head back to dodge it. Naruto without any legs fell onto the clearing ground with a thud. Auron using the chance given to him, tried to finish the fight right their lifting his sword into the air and thrusting it down vertically to stab Naruto, Naruto rolled out of the way and quickly got up and sent a chackra powered punch into Auron's jaw. Auron decided to use this force to his advantage he tightened his grip on his sword and using the momentum from the punch swung himself around and them delivered a powerful kick into Naruto's side.
"Your going to have to do better than that in order to..." Was all he could say before Naruto disappeared into a puff of smoke.
"What?" Auron said scanning the clearing when he saw several more shuriken being thrown at him, but like before he deflected them all with his sword. That is when he noticed five Naruto's charging right at him.
'The kid can make solid clones? This is interesting, he's actually going to force me to step up my game.' Auron thought grinning like mad.
Auron then began channeling some energy into his sword before he dashed at the Naruto's. The Naruto's braced for impact, but then Auron jumped up into the air placing his sword into the vertical stabbing postition again before shouting, "Bushido Style: Dragon Fang Technique!" he then plunged his sword into the ground and all the energy in the sword shot into the ground under the Naruto's then it shot out from under them in the form of flames scorching them. Auron waited to see which one was real, when all of a sudden all five Naruto's disappear.
'What the hell!' Auron thought before another Naruto shot from under the ground and punched him in the gut propelling him back a few feet. Auron readjusted himself in mid-air in order to land on his feet.
"Tell me how did you do that?" Auron asked, actually suprised that the kid had been able to make such an impressive move.
"Well, before the fight I created a shadow clone and sent it in to talk to you instead of me in case things turned out like this, then when you destroyed that one, I create the others before I hid myself underground with Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Jutsu, but instead of pulling you under I thought a good punch would do." Naruto said grinning the entire time.
"Nicely done for a Academy Student." Auron said smuggly.
"If you like that then," Naruto said making a set of hand signs, "you'll love my original jutsu." Before Auron could even respond, Naurto used his Fire Release: Volcanic Smokescreen Jutsu to cover most of the area Auron was in with a thick grey colored smoke.
"Now then," Naruto said making the cross handsign, "to prepare for the next part."
Meanwhile inside the cloud, Auron was astounded by Naruto's skill.
'This jutsu is genious, not only can I not see my own hand in front of my face, but this smoke... its so hot... I'm sweating like crazy... if I don't get out of here, I'll pass out due to dehydration, but who knows what he has waiting, oh well.' Auron thought before dashing towards the outside like a mad man. When he got out he saw that even more shuriken were thrown at him.
"Come on, don't you have any other tricks?" Auron asked grinning.
"Just this, Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!" With that the number of shuriken were multiplied by at least triple the original amount.
'Damn! I can't block all of them!' Auron thought while deflecting what shurikens he could, being careful to get the ones aiming for his torso and head, while most of the other grazed his arms and legs. When he was done he looked up to see if there were any more, when all of a sudden he felt a pain in his side. He looked down and found that a kunai had been stabbed into his side by Naruto.
"Guess I win huh?" Naruto said with a huge grin.
"You did good, if only you took into account one thing."
"And that is?" Naruto asked with the grin on his face wiped off.
"This may have been a killing blow, but the thing is, you can't kill what is already dead." Then all of a sudden glowing multi-colored obejects began to fly around Auron's body, Naruto backed away a few feet noticing that as the objects flew into Auron's wound it began to close up.
"Thats why you beat those ninja, it wasn't they weren't capable, they just weren't able to." Naruto said thinking that there was once again competence among the ninja of Konoha.
"Oh no, they didn't even make a mark on me, in fact if I had taken you more seriously, you might not have too." Naruto quickly shuddered again, thanking whatever god watched over them that he was still alive.
"Anyway see you later. Good match." Auron said before walking off.
"Yeah see ya Auron." Naruto said with his grin returning to him.
"Oh and Naruto, about your problem."
"Hmmm?"
"During my story I had known many people, people that were very important to me, even though our time was short, I still never remember ever having been upset knowing that it would be..." He said thinking back to Jecht, Braska, Tidus, Yuna and the rest. "I guess what I'm saying, is that you should appreciate the people you have, even if they aren't around much or for much longer." Auron said walking back into the forest.
Naruto thought about what Auron said and realized that he was right. He should be thankful that the people who are around him that... love him are around, even if they aren't around much. He smiled and began wlaking back to Konoha.
'Its pretty late I can tell the Hokage tomorrow after the Academy.' Naruto thought as he walked back to his apartment.
Next day at the Academy 5 minutes after the Final Bell.
"NARUTO UZUMAKI!" A horde of angry fan girls screeched, "YOU ARE WANTED FOR THE HERESY OF DEFILING AND HUMILIATING OUR BELOVED SASUKE! PREPARE TO DIE!"
"Whatever can we get this over with I gotta tell the Hokage something." Naruto said once again running in zig-zags, circles, up ladders, across rooftops, and swimming across a river and ended up in his little alley. But then he noticed that the fan girls weren't coming, he looked around the corner and found that the fan girls were staring at a tall man, and slowly becoming pale, then glowing objects flew around him and flew into where his right eye was. One of the fan girls threw up her lunch before all of them started running at light speed away from the man. The man turned around and Naruto immediately recognized him.
"Auron, what did you do to them?"
"I just used a few scare tactics on them. So you made yourself an enemy of someone's fan girls right?" Auron said as he remembered the dreadful memories of Tidus' fan girls during his time in Zanarkand.
"Looks like for an Academy Student you have it pretty hard around here right?" Naruto nodded "Well then, perhaps you are in the need of the service of a Guardian? I don't charge, all I ask is for is food, a place to stay, and Sake." Naruto thought about this for a moment. "I can even teach you a thing or two about using swords." That was all Naruto needed to hear to jump at the opportunity.
"Yes, yes, of course I would love you to be my guardian!" Naruto thought jumping up and down for joy.
'Works everytime.' Auron thought.
"Anyway we better tell you Hokage about the little deal we made, ok?" Auron said trying to make sure no one saw the scene Naruto was making.
"Yeah, yeah." Naruto said dragging Auron by the hand towards the Hokage Tower.
Meanwhile a certain perverted book writer watched the entire scene with a geat big grin plastered on his face.
'Naruto, how you seem to make almost every complete stranger like you I'll never know.' With that he returned to what he was originally doing, spying on the women's bath house next door.
Yes! Chapter complete!
