Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…but if I did…MWUAHAHAHAHA!…eh-hem, let's just say that it would be majorly fucked up! Like this story! LOL

BTW: You, by now know the time setting and other such things, so just so you know Kyuubi's a girl in this. Also, I know no Japanese except for a few words, so when I tell fights I'll use English, with the exception of the ones that I do know or find out online. (please be kind when I use them, because I might spell them wrong.) And Kumo means cloud. (Kumogakure hidden village of Cloud.)

Pairings: It will be an OC.


Last time:

"Alright. I just so happen to have a low C mission just waiting for someone to accomplish. Now. Your mission will be…"


"…to retrieve a scroll that was supposed to go to a well known family. It was a family heirloom of sorts that is very valuable. The scroll is located in a small town just a few miles southwest, on the border of Ishi (Stone). You will be accompanied by a Jounin from Ishi. Please cooperate. We're on rocky terms with them at best. No pun intended." Shigure said as he handed the details to Satoshi.

"So, do you accept this mission?" the Kage asked.

"Well, it's up to them." Satoshi said motioning toward his team. They were genuinely surprised about this.

"I'm up for it." The blond said.

"Me too." Calera agreed.

"Well, duuuh! Of course!" Ren said.

Shigure just smiled and nodded. "The details are in that scroll, Satoshi. You are dismissed."

"Hai!" they all replied.


Since team nine had a week to report to the main gate, Naruto decided to train.

'Now… remember you have to…' she started before Naruto cut in.

'Yes. I know already. Will you keep quiet so I can concentrate.' He chided Kyuubi. He just heard her sigh and walk over to the back of the cage, grumbling angrily.

'Ok. So what did that mean…?'

FLASHBACK

Inside Naruto's mind…

"So what's happening?" Naruto asked the giant kitsune, who happened to be in the form of a woman. She had red hair and bright, glowing eyes. Her hair was wavy and went all the way down to where her nine tails started. She had on a slightly revealing, white kimono that had designs of black and red sakura flowers on it. All in all, she looked quite beautiful.

"What's happening? I've told… you know what? I'll put it in laymen's terms for you. We've been stuck together for so long that you've absorbed part of my power. Is that dumb enough for you?" she asked. She had just spent a good fourteen minutes trying to explain the complexities of what's happening inside of the boy and he had obviously tuned out after the first five. Why she even liked the boy, she would never know.

"Oookaaaay. I get it now. So, I've absorbed part of your power. Not you." He got an affirmative nod. "So… what does this mean?"

"This means that over the years, you will absorb more and more of my power." She said. "Now. Because you're absorbing my power, you will need to know a couple things. There will be a few things happening to you. You will have a new tattoo on your left arm. I'll explain it when you wake up. Also…since you will be representing me, in a way, I'll help you train. Another thing that will be happening is that you will be getting some physical attributes of mine. I'll explain more later, but I'll tell you the important stuff now." She said, hoping he understood all of that. She looked down at the wide-eyed youth standing in front of her. She sighed and pushed him out of his mind.

When Naruto woke up, he remembered what Kyuubi had said. He checked his left arm. The tattoo was there, just like she had said. It was in the shape of a fox that was wrapped around his entire arm, starting just above the wrist. The head of the fox was above the wrist and the body went up to about the elbow. That's where the tails started. There were only two tails, though. This confused the boy. But, one tail had a bright yellow outline and tip while the other had a light blue outline and tip.

'Odd. What's this supposed to mean?' he thought. This, of course, woke Kyuubi.

She let out a huge yawn before beginning. 'That, Naruto, is a special tattoo. You see how you have two tails? That shows your abilities. Mostly the ones that you have because of me. The yellow one is your affinity to lightning, which I had nothing to do with. The light blue is new. It means that you have my supremacy over kaze (wind). I only have two supremacies, a common misconception because I can control all the elements, though I'm not telling you how. You will eventually gain the other one, but not for a while. You will gain other tails. These will signify your development in the supremacies and elements. As you gain them, I will train you.' She said, while taking a breathe after such a long speech.

'Now. Onto business. In order to control your supremacy over wind you have to concentrate…which is pretty hard for you to do.' She mumbled the last part, although the blond could still hear her. Even though he wanted to yell, he let her finish. It wouldn't be nice for him to interrupt her. Especially since she was helping him out… for once.

'So…how do I control this affinity?' he asked politely. She just smirked.

'Alright. You know how that Hitachiin can control the lower-level earth jutsus with just a flick of the wrist. Well, in a way, this applies to the supremacies. You must concentrate very hard. Imagine what you want to happen and will it to happen. Do you understand?' she asked. She honestly didn't believe he would. Surprisingly, he nodded.

'Good. Now, before you go off trying to make a hurricane or something, you need to get associated with the element.'

'Um… What the HELL do you mean by that?!'

'I can't tell you. You have to figure it out yourself, otherwise, no matter what I tell you, it won't work. Sorry, kit, but you're on your own for this one.' She said as she crawled into the furthermost reaches of the blond's mind for a nice nap.

END FLASHBACK

"So…I have to 'associate with wind. What is that supposed to mean?" Naruto asked himself as he brainstormed about what that could mean.

After a few mild temper tantrums, he had a few thoughts as to what "Kyu-chan" meant. He guessed that she meant that he had to, in a sense, become one with the wind. Know its turns and flows. Little did he know that Kyuubi was smirking inside his mind.

"Crap! I now know what she meant, but how do I become one with wind?" So, he did the best thing he could think up. Meditate.

That's how it worked for the rest of the week. Naruto tried to "associate" with wind, but it just wasn't working as well as he thought it would. Since he was having a pretty rough week, he came to the main gate in a less-than-cheery mood.

This time, he had on a black muscle shirt (sleeveless, that had the red kanji for blood on the front) with form-fitting fishnet over the top of it. His pants were baggy with chains and many pockets on them. They seemed to barely hang onto his hips, but thanks to the white belt that had previously held his small sword, they were staying up. Also on his belt was his hitai-ate. His shoes were still the combat boots with buckles. Wrapped on his back is his giant sword. As another accessory, he has on a black chocker with spikes sticking out. He also has on black, fingerless gloves and for some reason his nails are painted red. Now…I bet you're all wondering why no one can see the tattoos since he's wearing fishnet? That's because he put on a special genjutsu that disguised them.

As he sat at the gate with his black pack, he watched people walk by. He reflected on how much he had changed since he left Konoha. Barely anyone would know that the hyper-active blond that loved ramen, orange, Sakura, and attention would actually have a gothic-ish side to him? How he hated the people from there. To rip that pathetic village to pieces and watch it burn sounded like such fun. To see their blood and…

The blond's thoughts trailed off as Ren and Calera were seen approaching. They had packs as well.

Ren was wearing a dark green short-sleeve shirt. He had wrappings going down his arms. His pants are a baggy, dark brown/black with some pockets. He wore the regular ninja sandals only in black, not blue. He has hit hitai-ate around the neck.

Calera was wearing another camouflage shirt. This one was sleeveless, but went down to about her belly button. She had wrappings that went around her stomach a little, but not enough to cover her belly button. Her pants were a slim-fitting, black pair. Her ninja shoes were also black. She had on a chocker that had a small broken heart dangling from it. She has her hitai-ate on her arm.

"Hey." They all said as they greeted each other.

After a few minutes of silence, they began to wonder where their sensei was. Just as Naruto was about to set some pretty sadistic pranks for the silver-eyed jounin, the said jounin appeared in a poof of smoke.

"Yo. So… are you all ready for your first real mission?" he asked. They all nodded. "Well, then let's head out!"

"But what about the jounin from Ishi?" Calera asked. 'Always the smart one.' The sensei thought.

"We're supposed to meet him a few miles out from here. Any more questions? Good. Now let's get started." These were the last words to be said for a while as team nine headed out.

Calera and Ren were both gaping at the scenery, as they had never been outside the walls of Kumo before. Naruto and Satoshi had both been outside the walls before, so they weren't all that energetic.

"So, Naruto. Were you in this part of the region before you came to Kumogakure? Just a little curious." The blond's sensei said.

"Well, I wandered around for just a little bit before I found the village, but I was never in this part of it. Besides, if I was, I doubt that I would remember." He said laughing a little.

"Hmm. I see. Oh well. I've been on missions to Ishi before, but I've never taken this route. Oh well. At least we have an Ishi jounin to accompany us." He said with a slight smile. "Speaking of which, they should be coming up pretty soon, if I'm right. Which I think I am."

Almost on cue, a ninja jumped out from the darkness of the surrounding mountains. The ninja had an Ishi hitai-ate, so they knew that the person was their guide. The ninja was obviously a man, but had his long, black-as-night hair tied back. He has dull black eyes and had a wiry build. They were wearing standard jounin uniform.

"You are the Kumo nin, are you not?" he asked in a demanding voice that left no room for trivialities.

"Hai. You are to lead us to Ishi, yes?" Satoshi asked in a similar tone.

"Hai. Let us go. You should know the details by now, so, please follow me." He said as he swiftly turned.

"By the way. I didn't get a name." Satoshi said to the retreating figure.

"It is only polite for you to give your name first before you ask another for their name." The shinobi said with no hint of emotion, stating it like a fact.

"Satoshi. And you are…?" team nine's sensei asked, while extending his hand. The nin took it. "Kenji." He said and turned around. "Now, follow me." He said yet again as he walked off. Team nine just looked at one another as they nodded and followed after the nin named Kenji.


It may not be the longest of chapters, but hey. It's something. And I've gotten some AWESOME ideas for Satoshi's doujutsu. It won't be until a little later that he'll use it, so the poll is still open. Anyways…I think that I'll make the next chapter a little longer than usual…depends on how the story's progressing. Well…I hope that you didn't mind the long wait. Heh. So…please R&R! (huuuuge smile)

Itachi: what the fuck?! What's with the huuuuuuge smile?

S. L.: awww…I didn't know that you cared, Ita-kuuun.

Itachi: okaaaay. What's with the nickname?! Grrr. Why do you mess with my head, woman?!

S. L.: Why you have to be soo mean, Ita-kuuun? (puppy dog eyes)
