(A/N: guys review, I want to know how I'm doing with writing. This is all kinda new.)
Sorry I havent updated my stories in a while, I had a bit of a writers block. So here is the new chapter
Originally, I was writing this story aith the flow as I go along with no planning whatsoever, but I finally figured out my plot line, the range of abilities, and i have an ending in mind now.
Also, in the intrests of making this fic more action packed, I will be introducing characters and powers from other anime and manga. There will be no o.C's because I personally don't like having o.c's in stories, I find that they complicate fics too much.
Disclaimer; I don't own naruto or avatar (movie)...or one piece (yes, i added some things from one piece to make it more action packed.)
Chapter 7;
"That is quite a tale, naruto." Jiraya, who had been quiete through-out the whole story, said, "You have certainly grown strong and we would be lucky to have you fighting by our side, but, unfoutunately, what you faced was but merely the foot soldiers, I mean yeah, you took out two live members of the akatsuki, but, madara started building this army probably before the kyuubi was even defeated. I read the report on your victory and those white disfigured men were of the lowest strength, foot soldiers if you will."
"That is quite distubing news," Naruto replied, "Sakura gave me a summary of their forces just before you came, can you give me more specific details?"
"Well, first we have to talk about the 'soldiers' that we recently discovered, were created from the cells of the first Hokage, Tsunade's granddad. They are at very bottom we have the foot soldiers, main notable specialties are the ability to form a near perfect henge (transformation), and the ability to move freely underground. They are the best infiltrators I've ever seen and due to the comotion with the war, they have been able to stir up a bit of trouble for us."
"On the side, we also have the giants, these things are huge and they just keep getting bigger and bigger the more of them we see. They are a little tough to bring down because they are intelligent, but the advantage is they don't use jutsu. They normally wield weapons like house size hammers, swords, axes, but to name a few. Your help will be needed seeing as we have only managed to take down a few using summoning animals, so all contract holders are pulled up front to face these guys."
"next up, we have the creatures, which we first thought were summons, but were later disproved seeing as we discovered that orochimaru, before his death, was genetically experimenting with the genes of different animals. Although, on the plus side, I have to say that these were a blessing to our forces because getting food to all troops was a little difficult, understandably, but these beasts are no different from the original gene spool they are from, so if you can kill them, you can have yourself a fest. These are heavy hitters, they are normally as large as the boss summons, but luckily, they are low on intelligence. They vary on speed and they were created on the basis of different animals, hence why we thought they were summons, like of recent, a large tiger, a snake serpent, a bear and other animals of the like." Jiraya took a breather to let naruto soak up this information. "they can be differentiated from other summons in that they look, for lack of a better term, pale. That is all for the 'soldiers'. Then we have the captains, the vice-admirals and the admirals."
"Captains, is the term we have given to undead. This is where the problems begin piling up, Kabuto who has teamed up with Madara, has a jutsu in his arsenal that is able to revive the dead and control them under his command. See, the part where Madara's genius comes into play, is the fact that he has revived people that even I, the great toad sannin, have only heard in stories from the third Hokage, when he was still my sensei. The most frightening thing is that most of these people fought in the great war that led to the creation of the five major shinobi villages, a war that Madara took a part in himself before the creation of Konoha."
The vice-admirals, much like the captains are also undead, but they consist of the recently deceased Akatsuki members and the previous kages. He has brought back the kages of all major shinobi villages except Konoha, there have been theories as to why this is so but it is still unknown, the Akatsuki members that we killed recently. A couple of them have already been taken out, like Sasori of the red sands, who was killed again by Kankuro, Gaara's sibling and a few others.
"Now, I know what you are thinking, during a time before ninja villages, ninja had to be self taught so they can't be too difficult, but that's where you are wrong. I have seen some of the abilities of these ninja's and it scares me to the bone. We truly have clearly been going too easy in teaching the new generations, I mean, just last week, the shodaime Tsushikage was spotted, he was dubbed 'whitebeard' (A/N: I do not own 'one piece') back in his day. He took futon and doton manipulation to a level never to be seen again, he could create massive earthquakes by simply punching the air in front of him."
"The vice-admirals have yet to strike it big but we know that it will be soon, seeing as he has now lost two of his live Akatsuki members, who, ironically, are most probably going to become vice-admirals after their death…well, Kakuzu is."
"Then we have the admirals, these are the live Akatsuki members and all that's left of them is the original Zetsu, who we believe is the first of Madara's ungodly creations, Kabuto, who is the creator of Madara's undead army and your old friend, Sasuke. Sasuke has not been spotted ever since he was rescued from the first alliance meeting." Jiraya took this time to look at his old student who had oddly enough been silent while digesting all the information he had provided.
With a somber tone, Jiraya said, "Lastly, at the top of the food chain, we have Madara, who also calls himself Tobi when in his playful mood. The information we have on his abilities are limited at best but atleast we know that he wields the sharingan in one eye and the rinnegan in the other. We know that he is capable of using at least some powers of the rinnegan seeing as he has re-created the six paths of Pein from the bodies of the deceased ex-jinchuriki's, and lastly he has a transportation technique that is on par with the Yondaime's hirashin jutsu." At this Naruto's eyes widened significantly, 'thanks mom, dad. You really helped me dodge a bullet there.'
Naruto's head was going in circles, he knew that things were bad, but he had no idea that things were this horrific. He had originally thought that he could come, defeat all the bad guys, save the day and go relax but the very idea of the captains and vice-admirals was a terrifying. He looked to the one armed pervert and attempted a crack at some light humor to ease the sense of fore-boding that had taken the atmosphere.
"Damn, I leave you for a moment and look what happens, everything is going to shit." They shared a light chuckle at that comment but it didn't really help the mood. "So, this Pein dude must have been really strong to take your arm, what really happened? Sakura told me a brief report but something tells me that there is a lot more history behind all this."
"Hehe, yeah your right, the thing is, Pein was actually a made up name for his combined six paths. His real name was Nagato. A long time ago, during the second shinobi war, I met three orphans who had big dreams, dreams to make it so that the world stops crying by stopping the war and blood-shed going on all around them. I took pity on them and stayed behind to show them how to survive and they grew on me."
"We were our own family for a while and we truly did have good times but there were still the remains of the war going on around us and I couldn't keep my eyes on them all the time. They were attacked and it was at that fateful time that Nagato, the quiet little red haired boy, awakened the rinegann. It was because of this event that I decided to train them in the shinobi arts, they were outstanding but I was still a konoha ninja at that time and the war was still going on so I was recalled. I went back only when they were at a good level to survive almost anything that could be thrown at them," Jiraya took a deep breath before continuing, "years later, I received information that they had been killed but as it turns out, only Yahiko, the unofficial leader of the group was killed but Nagato took up Yahiko's dreams and became Pein. His answer to stop the world from crying was through pain, and it was through that pain that allowed Madara to come in and twist Pein's ideals to his own benefit."
"Our fight was stuff of legends, and I was fully prepaired to die right there so as to acquire more information so that Konoha could stand a fighting chance, but, the two geezer toads that were just here didn't allow me to throw my life away so they dispelled and reverse summoned me back so that I can get some treatment. The problem was that I had already lost an arm and he had stabbed me in the gut with that weird black pole of his which screwed up my chakra network for life."
"The last member of the group was called Konan, we suspect that Madara killed her too when he went for Nagato's eyes seeing as she is one of the vice-admirals." Jiraya finished,
"Damn, you have had one hell of a rough ride when it comes to your apprentices, first them, then Yondaime, then me, right?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, but its cool. Anyway, its good to have you back gaki, but you know that you are going to be a prime target in this whole war, I mean, I know that you no longer have the Kyuubi, but it's not like they are going to let it go easily and I'm not gonna loose you too. There is not much that I can teach you anymore seeing as most of my jutsu relied on toads but I had an idea on how to train you before you went on the Sasuke retrieval mission, I'm still trying to sort out a plan but give me some time, I'm sure I will get it. Just one question, How much do you have, chakra wise?" Jiraya asked.
"Hmm, well I feel like my chakra has trippled since the Kyuubi left. My guess is that a large portion of my chakra was used to hold the sealing in place and my control is good seeing as while I was living in the wilderness, I didn't have much use for techniques like the rasengan cause most of the animals there have a natural defense against chakra. All I could use my chakra for was for enhancing my body, making my weapons and using the chakra control exercises to their fullest, I mean water walking to fish, tree climbing for when I get too tired climbing up that mountain to the…" Naruto was interrupted by Jiraya at this point.
"Wait, wait, wait, you said that you use chakra to make weapons, how?" Jiraya asked.
"Well, I had the raw materials for welding all around me, all I had to do was melt them down, shape them and sharpen them. I mean, all I had when I reached Pandora, all I had on me was one ninja travel gear set with kunais, shuriken, senbon, paper bombs, ninja wire and bandage, and a couple of sealing scroll that I used to the fullest.
"Oh, that reminds me, I need new clothes, I had made a couple of clothes while living over there but I was alone so there wasn't much need for modesty; cover your essentials and your good to go. What I'm wearing now are actually patched up clothes that managed to survive the trip with me t…" he was interrupted.
"Yeah, later, anyway, when you say melting and sharpening, that's when you use the chakra right?"
"Yeah, it came really easy to me, just trying to make my chakra as thin as possible and vioala, instant cut. When I try to make it as hot as possible by vibrating it as much as I can and boom, I have fire." Naruto replied.
'Genius, he got the first steps for two nature manipulations all by himself with no instructions whatsoever, this just keeps getting better and better.' Jiraya thought to himself, "Alright then, give me a few minutes while I check up on the status of your imprisonment. Be back in a second."
Tsunade had just come from the morgue confirming that it was indeed Kakuzu's body and Hidan's head that was talking all that shit. To be honest, the whole experience left her stiff in her shoulders.
Sakura came sprinting down the hallway to meet her, "Tsunade-shisho, we have just received a messenger bird coming from the headquarters addressed to you."
Tsunade didn't bother to engage Sakura in their usual idle banter and simply decided to use shunshin to get to the office a second later.
As Tsunade was reading the joint orders from head quarters, Jiraya came through the door and situated himself in front of his old teammate while watching the frown appear on her face.
"Something the matter, hime?" Jiraya asked.
"Yeah, it appears in their, oh so infinite wisdom, the kages have decided to move the main medical branch into the headquarters, while leaving the smaller support groups in with the troops, which is a great idea, except, it will take at least three to four weeks. They are pissing on me without the courtesy of calling it rain." She huffed.
"That and they have ordered that we keep Naruto in plain sight until we get there, for they believe that we might have been emotionally compromised due to earlier connections." Tsunade replied.
Jiraya broke out into a giggling fit that lasted for thirty seconds and according to Tsunade, it was thirty seconds too long and just before she knocked his lights out, he took a breather and spoke, "Ahh, Kami that boy is the luckiest bastard I know, even when under suspicion it plays in his favor. The reason I left Naruto in the holding cells just now is because he is strong, but, there are monsters in this war. I wanted to prep him just a little but in that time frame, I can do a whole lot than just prepping."
"Hmm, your right, in this case it is in our favor, but I really doubt that there is much that you can do to teach him at this point, I mean, he did take out this whole battalion by himself."
"That is true, and I have to say for someone self taught, it is truly impressive, but there is only so much you can do on your own. I mean, he still hasn't even mastered elemental training, but he has already categorized two natures of his chakra being as fire and wind, even if he doesn't know it yet," Jiraya took a breather to let this soak in before continuing, "that, and he is currently every teacher's wet dream, he has a shit load of chakra, near perfect control and next to no jutsu. I mean, u can mold him any way you want, and right now, we need a ninja who will strike fear into Madara's heart, assuming he has a heart, of course."
They shared a short laugh at that.
"Anyway, I'm off hime, we are going to be training right outside the gates using tons and tones of kage bunshin. When you are through with all this, come by cause I know that the brat misses you."
"Yeah yeah, I'll do that, but right now, I have to make sure that everything is accounted for. Tell him I will be coming as soon as I'm done here."
Jiraya turned to walk out of the room but paused a second, "Hime, that reminds me, Naruto is no longer a jinchuriki,"
"WHAT…" Tsunade cut him off but he took control of the situation again shortly, "Long story, will tell you when you are free, so as I was saying, could you send a message to Gaara telling him of this?"
"…Okay, but why?"
"Well, I remember Gaara telling me something about how his fighting style changed after the one tail Shukaku, was removed from his body. He said that he lost some power but gained others in response and he was able to get to an S-class level within a month with the help of an ancient seal, I'm hoping that whatever it did will help increase Naruto's battle powers."
"Hai hai, I can see your reasoning, I will send him the message, just make sure that naruto will be really strong by the end of it."
"Hime, don't you see, Naruto is already strong…very strong, all I'm doing is helping him go that extra mile. See you later princess."
