AN: Hi guys, I know it has been quite some time now since my last update. I had often tried to finish a chapter in the last couple of weeks, but unfortunately I had a very big writers block. Hmm maybe it is because I have so many new ideas, or maybe I just hadn't that much fun writing something in the last weeks, I don't know, but anyway I was able to write a whole chapter today. I hope I will be able to update again soon.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or any other Anime/Manga series.

The Ancients: A story about Ninja

Chapter 6:

Another glorious victory for the great Clone Warriors

He got a boat towards Lightning Country and was now travelling trough the lands for a week. He sensed a big battle and sprinted in the direction. When he arrived he could she the S ranked criminal he was looking for, doing his best in not getting eat or burned by a giant, two tailed cat made out of blue flames.

"What the hell!? A Bijuu…eating my target?" was all he thought.

He did't want to get in the way of a Bijuu and its prey, so all he could do now was to watch and see how the missing-nin would do against such a beast. But the battle seemed to have been going on four some time now, the missing-ninja Miyagi Kesuke, was already injured and seemed to be a little exhausted.

"Hm should I help him? …Nah not worth it! I would have killed him myself anyway, and he should have not angered something like this beast, that old idiot. I will have to wait and see if he can get away or just collect the head should he die, if it remains in one piece at least." thought Naruto and sat down on a big rock.

ooo000ooo

"We found him finally, but damn, who would have thought that he would lead us to the two tails?" said a brash male voice.

"It would be foolish to act now, I don't know what that boy is really capable of and if we attack now the Nibi would be involved in the fight as well. We will wait and see what happens." growled a deep male voice.

"And this old man, Miyagi Kesuke the dancing fist of Kusa, don't you want his bounty as well?" asked the brash voice

"We will just let the boy take his head for now and collect it later from him." replied the deep voice and chuckled darkly as he continued to watch the fight.

ooo000ooo

"'sigh' He is dead, the whole way here and then I don't even get to fight him." thought Naruto sadly as he saw the big cat finally killing Miyagi with a blast of purple and blue flames but luckily leaving most of his body unharmed enough to take its head. "I better go and take the head now, but I have to be careful or I might catch the attention of that damn Bijuu as well."

He stood up from the rock he was sitting on and started to walk away, but suddenly stopped and widened his eyes at what he saw next. "A Jinchuuriki!" he thought as he watched the two tailed cat turn into a human sized body. It was a blond haired woman from what he could see; she collapsed on her knees and looked wounded and tired as well. Then he got Flashbacks and remembered how his first encounter with a Jinchuuriki had ended and the unwanted prophecy he had received.

Flashback two years ago

"T-Th-That i-is B-Blanka!?" stammered a bald man with a big scar on his for head.

In front of him stood five feet seven inches tall man clothed completely in black, his face hidden beneath a mask and a large bamboo hat shadowing his eyes. He had a black sword on his left hip and held up a head, with no body…only a head with orange hair, in his right hand.

The bald man calmed himself down and tried to hide his uneasy. He took a deep breath and spoke smugly with deep voice. "I have to do tests to see if this head really belongs to S-ranked missing-nin Blanka, the lightning beast of Kumo. Can you please wait a minute and fill in these infos about yourself in the meanwhile? We also will need your identification papers, so prepare them as well." he said and held up a form for the black clothed ninja to fill in all his personal information.

Despite the fact that he could not see the ninjas' eyes he knew that the man was glaring at him. The black clothed ninja put his left hand on his sword hilt and a little killer intent was leaking off of him. The bald man trembled in fear and fell to his butt, he moved back, to get away from the ninja, sweat was pouring from him and he spoke weakly with low voice "…please?"

His request and plea was met with silence and more killer intent. The man lost all the self-esteem he had and he screamed like a little girl as he run fast and on shaking legs to the backroom "AHHHHH BOOOSS!?!".

"What do you want idiot!?" came the snappy reply from the backroom.

"Some one is making trouble." stammered the bald man quickly.

"AHHH" he yelled and a crashing sound could be heard.

"Stop being such a pathetic worm!" growled the other voice, and its owner stepped out of the backroom.

It was a woman in her early thirties with black hair tied in a high pony tail. She was five feet five inches tall and wore a dark blue kimono. Unlike her subordinate she immediately recognized the black clad ninja.

"The Black Sword, and he has Blankas head, so he is not just a rumour after all." she thought and went to the counter to take the head. "Please accept my apologies for my useless subordinate, Sir. I am Natasha, the manager of this bounty station, I will take the head to the back and be back shortly with your money Sir."

Seeing the man nod to her she took Blankas head from him and went to the back room to do some tests to be sure that it is the real thing, of course she didn't want to make The Black Sword wait so she would have to skip most of the standard procedure. She came back out of the backroom after five minutes and handed a coffer with the bounty for Blanka in it to the Black clothed man.

"It was a pleasure to have made business with you Sir, please use our bounty station again soon." she said and bowed her head before giving him a smile.

The man opened the coffer and scanned with his eyes over the money and closed it again before nodding to the woman and sealing his money away into a scroll faster then Natasha thought could be possible. He pocketed the scroll and walked out of the building without saying a single word.

Natasha sighed in relief after she watched him leave and was just glad that it had gone so well. Her stupid subordinate had totally screwed it up and she had a slight fear that The Black Sword would just kill them both for it. After all nothing much was known about The Black Sword, only that he was very strong and didn't talk or gave any information about himself, so it was very possible that he was a bloodthirsty killer. Shaking herself out of her thoughts she went back to the backroom, intent to beat the shit out of her subordinate for the stunned he just had pulled.

Meanwhile Naruto had already left the building and was walking on the road heading towards the south, deep in his own thoughts. Images of Blanka, laying on the ground beaten half death and coughing out blood, flashed before his eyes and he remembered what Blanka had said to him before he fell to his wounds

'Before long you will face have to face your destiny. It will be much more ruthless than even I was. It will take everything from you…you will lose everything one way…or another. You, that is and will be blessed by so many, from powerful warriors and mystical dragons to even unimaginable powerful gods, the only reason you live is to complete a task that was forced upon you, fail or succeed, the end will be the same. I saw your future, holding so much pain for you...that it makes me happy.'

It really pissed Naruto off to no end. He knew that Blanka loved to tell people how their future would have been before he killed them and that Blanka himself as well as many others believed that he had the powers to see in the future, but he did not believe in soothsayer and fortune-teller. It pissed him off that the guy had the nerve to try and have him fear his future with such bullshit.

"No matter what I do, I will certainly lose everything and feel pain? That's bullshit; the future is not set in stone. Nobody can say what it will hold for me, nobody!" he thought.

Still, it made him a bit nervous that what Blanka had said sounded so much familiar to what the Ancient of his dream twelve years ago had said. He was blessed by godlike beings, he was destined to save the world, and it was forced upon him, seeing how he had no say in it. "How could that bastard have known this? Was it just his dump luck or do I interpret too much into all this?" He didn't know, and it bothered him way to much for his liking, his only guess was that Blanka must have had some kind of mental powers to play with peoples mind. But sadly he could not get rid of all the doubts he now had.

"Hey there weirdo, wait and let me introduce myself to yo." He heard, and strangely the person was rappin.

He mentally cursed himself that he was so much in thoughts that he did not sense him. He turned towards the person and saw man with dark skin. He was very tall, roughly around six feet and three inches. He was marked by a tattoo of "iron" on his shoulder and bull horns on his cheek. He wore dark sunglasses, a white Kumo headband on his forehead, he had blond hair and seven swords were strapped to his back. Behind him was his genin team, two girls and one boy, all around the age of fourteen.

"I've got energy to spare and sparkling charm. The eight-tailed Beast's a Killer Bee rockin' the Melody! When the Battle gets goin' you're gonna be humiliated. Before ya get poppin'." told the man, rapping once more.

"You call this an introduction? ...What do you want anyway?" Naruto asked, clearly annoyed, but he could see that the man suddenly became more seriously.

"Listen here punk. I am Killerbee, Jonin of Kumogakure. Every shinobi in Kumo was told to invite you to join our village, should we ever meet up with you. You quickly made a name for your self as the dangerous bounty hunter, 'The Black Sword'. You impressed the Raikage so much that he wants to offer you a place, so what's up, will ya' come?" told Killerbee with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"No, now get lost before I make you." said Naruto with a light growl and started to walk away; not missing how Killerbee clenched his teethes in anger.

"That punk, talking to me like this, I will bully him like a bull." thought Killerbee with anger and charged at Naruto.

He jumped and gave a spinning kick to the back of his head but Naruto ducked under it with great speed and hit Killerbee in the chest hard with his elbow, knocking him to the ground and a few feet away.

"So his muscles are not just for show, his body is as hard as iron and he didn't even flinch when I hit him, he must be incredible strong." thought Naruto

"Sensei what are you doing!?! Raikage-sama wouldn't be pleased if you fight with him!" yelled one of Killerbees students.

"Listen to your student and go home, or something might happens to one of you." growled Naruto as he watched Killerbee standing up but was surprised to see that he was not showing any anger anymore.

Killerbee took a small white book and a pencil out and started to write something.

"I'm in a good mood now. I was just able to write an awesome rhyme, thank you." he said as he put the book back and grabbed one of his many swords "So now I'll play with you. You stupid idiot, baby. Hey, Samui, Karui, Omoi, you three stay out of this."

He then threw all of his swords into the air and did catch them all with different parts of his body. One with his mouth, one between his right under- and upper arm, one between his right shoulder and his neck, one between his left under- and upper arm, one in his left armpit, one between his right tight and his stomach and the last under his right knee. That combined with the fact that he was standing on his left leg in the crane stance with his right tight a bit lifted and his right arm in the air, looked so funny that Naruto had a hard time not to laugh out loud.

(AN: If you want to see a photo of Killerbee in his sword stance then look into the Naruto Manga chapter 411 page 11 or 12.)

"Now you're gonna feel my hooks." said Killerbee with a grin on his bearded face

"That's defiantly a nice sword stance." told Naruto with amusement before taking a single kunai out of his weapon pouch.

"A k-kunai!? Why don't ya use your sword, I thought ya are a swordsman too, or is it only for show?." asked Killerbee confused

"I'm unlike those idiots who use their all to hunt rabbits. Though the way you hold your self tells me that you are skilled enough to be called a swordsman, you are not even in my bingo book." stated Naruto coolly and grinned as he hold his kunai up to show it a bit better "Unfortunately, I'm carrying nothing smaller than this."

"He is so cool." told a blond haired girl from Killerbees team with the other girl only nodding her head

"Yea I admit he is, but there is no way that he can beat Killerbee." said the boy.

"You can't mock me, stupid. This is gonna be ya end." sang Killerbee and charged at Naruto.

He was flipping around the ground towards him, using only his left leg for jumps and his hands as support. As ridiculous as it sounds, Killerbee was incredible fast doing this and had still a great control over all of his seven blades on his different body parts, his cloak in the form of a tail now acting as an eight 'sword'.

Naruto used his kunai to block the many blades while moving more and more backwards, being driven back heavily by Killerbees strong offence. After one more flip, Killerbee suddenly held the blade from between his right under- and upper arm and the blade between his right tight and his stomach in his hands, and stabbed with multiple swords at Naruto.

Both, adult and teen, were surprised, the adult because all his swords were blocked by a single kunai in a standstill and the teen because his opponent was pushing him back and overpowering him.

"What incredible swordsmanship / strength!" they thought at the same time.

Naruto jumped back and landed on his feet after a flip in the air. He channelled some of his Hakuseiki into his kunai, made out of chakra channelling metal, and it got a white aura that extended five inches from the kunai, in the form of a blade.

"Not bad for a big bull, not bad at all" said Naruto and charged at Killerbee, who was resting with his left knee on the ground right now in a crouching position, all seven swords still somewhere on his body, and two of them still in his hands.

Naruto did strike with his kunai but Killerbee blocked with one of his swords, and it glowed and sparked blue showing clearly that Lightning chakra was flowing through it.

"I float…like a butterfly." told Killerbee as he stabbed at Naruto with more blades, but Naruto blocked or avoided all of them "And sting like a bee! 'Cause I'm the eight-tailed beast!" he yelled as he twisted his body with lightning fast speed and flipped two times in the air and on the ground before stopping and standing straight once more with only one blade left, in his left hand.

To everybody surprise, minus Killerbee, Naruto was laying on the ground with one sword stabbed in each of his shoulders, three swords stabbed into his stomach and another sword stabbed in to his left tight.

"Sensei you killed him! The Raikage will be mad!" shouted one of his students.

"Don't worry kiddo, I didn't aim for a kill, I just gave him some flesh wounds to feel, also the Lightning chakra I channelled into my blades will paralyze for some time, this weirdo." he rapped with a grin and made a pose with one hand on his hip and the other stretched forward with a thumps up. "We will take him with us to my annoying bro of a Kage, he will most likely give him the same submission seals as Yugito to make him work for the village, yeah!. Capturing him if he refuses was after all the second order." he said and started to move towards Naruto.

"They want to use submission seals on me…?" thought Naruto as he coughed some blood out "Damn that bastard, he was holding back to make me underestimate his speed and used that to take me off guard."

"Don't ya dare to move fuckin' dipshit, or this bitch dies!" came a yell that startled Killerbee, as he turned around he could see another three black cloaked figures standing next to his three now unconscious students, one holding a kunai to Samuis, his favourite students throat. "I am the only one who can kick the bosses' ass and get away with it. Drop your sword and walk away from him." one of the newcomers yelled in a very hostile voice.

"Shit! I didn't sensed anyone else, when the hell did they came?" thought Killerbee as he let go of his last sword and put some distance between himself and the wounded 'Black sword'.

Tsuin Kayuu Sekisho(Twin Fire Dragon Barriere)

He heard some one yell something about a twin dragon from behind him, and soon saw two huge dragons made out of white flames racing on the ground towards him. He was not allowed to move but could he just stand there now? No, after all he didn't want to be barbecue, come on this were white flames, WHITE, his student be damned, he readied himself to avoid the Katon attack, but stopped and sighed in relief as he saw that the dragons changed their courses. One flew to the left and the other to the right side, circling and trapping him inside of nine feet tall walls made out of white flames, and all of this in a matter of few seconds.

All four clones sprinted towards Naruto and removed the six swords from his body and the one that had the young ninja as hostage started to use medical jutsus to heal him, while one of the others just concentrated his chakra to keep his jutsu up.

"Hey Bozu can you sill fight, eh?" asked the one that was doing medical jutsus.

Naruto just gave him a hateful glare and grit his teethes as he gave him a 'No' as answer and slapped the clones healing hands away. "You bastard, just take me away from here, and you two finish this damn Katon Combo attack and stop him from following should he survive."

"Hn, whatever, I see you are still angry because of the accident last night with the snake in your boxers, eh Bozu?" said one of them as he lifted Naruto on his back, then started to run towards the south.

Two of the remaining three clones just nodded to each other and started doing seals as they sprinted towards the flaming walls. The first one sprung very high, closely followed by the other, and shouted Katon: Gokakyu (Fire Element: Grand fireball) as he blew a big white fire ball out of his mouth. He was closely followed by his 'brother' who only mere seconds later yelled Futon: Daitoppa – (Wind style: Great Breakthrough) blowing a very strong wind out of his mouth, enhancing the white fire ball greatly.

The whole thing resulted in a big, messy and loud explosion that knocked the clones backwards, but all three of them could still here the loud "WHEEEEEEE" yell that came from behind the flames. To their surprise and shock, Killerbee jumped out of the flames with strange chakra covering his whole body, behind him were seven chakra tails, around his hands were big claws made out of chakra; two horns made out of chakra as well were on his head and in his mouth were real fangs.

It seemed that this strange chakra protected him from most of the flames damage, but he still had second and third degree burns on all over his body. "I can't believe that he took the attack head on and survived it..." thought one of the clones and then yelled "What the hell are you!?"

"I am the eight-tailed beast, Jinchuuriki of the Hachibi! I am Killerbee!" he yelled and charged the closed of the three black clothed bounty hunters.

The said clone was able to doge him with speed and agility and landed on the ground after some flips.

"Oho..Not since my brother has anyone been able to deflect number eight." thought Killerbee impressed and charged again but at another one this time. "You will be the first, to burst" he rapped and attacked him with his right arm. He missed again, but the impact of his fist hitting the ground was huge and resulted in a big crater; lots of earth and stone explode out and flew around, swirling lots of dust in the air.

"He is not only fast but incredible strong; I don't think that we can hold him off for long. Why the hell is a guy like him not in any bingo book!?" thought one of the clones

"He defiantly got both speed and strength, but he moves in a straight line like a bull would with his horns. We have to take advantage of that" yelled another clone to the others.

"Let me handle this big cow:" Yelled another one and took off his cloak. He hold it with both hands in front of him, using it to hide his body, and he yelled "Come and get me if you can, you talent less wanabee rapper!"

Killerbee looked at him with anger because of the insult, and his eyes widened with fury as he saw the blood red colour inside his opponents cloak. The Demon inside of him screamed in fury and it became hard for him to control it. They were no longer in harmony as before, but fighting with each other for dominance now. He clutched his head in pain for a moment before screaming out loud "WHEEEEEE!" and charging at the man that was taunting him. Neither human nor demon was in control right now, the body only driven by the animalistic instincts of a bull.

The clone sweated and waited for the beast, his cloak with the red colour inside was still hiding his body from below his nose, his eyes narrowed on his opponent. The wild Jinchuuriki arrived and attacked with his to the left outstretched arm, two huge bull horns made out of chakra formed from it and pierced through the cloak, but the clone had already moved to the side. He was in a crouching position, spinning his body with an out stretched leg and kicking the man-beasts leg hard, making him hit the ground. The clone supported his body with his right hand on the ground and spun his body around to kick Killerbee to the back of his neck, making him slide forwards on the ground till he hit a tree.

"The Black Sword never loses, Bitch!" he yelled, and the two other clones looked on in disbelieve at what their brother had just pulled off.

The clones saw that the Killerbee was standing up regaining his senses slowly, and one said: "Shouldn't we finish him off quickly?"

"He is not even in the bingo book, therefore he has no bounty, and also he is not S-ranked. It wouldn't be good for our image if we associate further with such a pathetic opponent:" told the cloak less clone with as much arrogance in his voice as he could muster and puffed away. The other two just looked at each other and then shrugged before vanishing as well.

"Damn what the hell just happened?" said Killerbee out loud as he rubbed his head, he looked around and saw that his students were still unconscious, with no enemies around and that the area was wrecked completely. He let go of his demons chakra and saw the heavy burns all over his skin and hoped that eight-o would be able to heal them later.

"Did I lose?" were his thought as he went into unconsciousness, from the wounds his opponent gave him and the after-effect of all the stress on his body due to the heavy use of demon chakra.

Some miles away, Naruto, still on the back of the fourth clone he had created, received the memories of the other three clones.

"They won? Damn it, I must stop underestimating my opponents. They will never let me live this down."

End of Flashback

After that battle Naruto never underestimated an opponent again and killed them as swiftly as he could. He even started to act like a goof to make others underestimate him, and the only times he now dropped his gen jutsu that made him look like a civilian, was when he visited a bounty station, instead of travelling around without it. He even fought with the illusion most of the time to make people underestimate him more.

He also researched on Jinchuurikis and found out that they were human sacrifices with powerful demons sealed inside of them. They could use the demons chakra to fight or heal, and had traits or marks that gave them small facial features similar to their demons. They were also often treated badly and therefore mental unstable.

"'sigh' Great, another Jinchuuriki, and this one even stole me the missing nin." he thought grimly "'sigh' I guess I should help her out, maybe she isn't as bad as the last one I met and if she is then I can at least steal Miyagis Head."

Too be continued
