Chapter 7: The Killer and the Invasion
Chuunin Exams Arena
It has been already one month since the preliminary matched of the Chuunin exams and currently the arena was filled with audiences of all ages waiting to see the finest genin among the nations fight to the death for their entertainment.
"Where is he?" Sasuke said as he was pacing around the competitor's lounge. He was training with Kakashi for the past month and safe to say the last Uchiha has gotten strong. Kakashi thought him a few Katon Jutsus as well as some Raiton Jutus but what made the whole month worth is was that Kakashi thought him his signature jutsu the "Chidori (One Thousand Birds)". He finished his training with Kakashi a day earlier and came to the arena a bit early today expecting to find his team mates already here.
"Calm down Sasuke" Shikamaru said as he appeared behind his fellow genin.
"I can't Nara I mean Naruto's match will be starting in one minute and I mean one minute" he pointed at the middle of the arena "Don't tell me you don't see the Hyuuga standing there in the middle, the way things are going he's going to be disqualified."
"Why do you care? Won't that make it easier for you to win?" Shikamaru replied
"No… that would defeat the purpose of all that training I want to see how I measure up to him now" the young Uchiha said earning a standard Mendokusai reply from the Nara.
In the arena
"It seems that it is my fate today to win" Neji said as he calmly waited for the countdown to being.
"Last five seconds or else Uzumaki Naruto will be disqualified" the current proctor Genma said as he rolled the senbon in his tounge.
"3"
"2"
Neji smirked thinking he won
"1" Genma said as a tornado of flames, lightning, and wind formed within the arena, when it receded one Uzumaki Naruto stood there clothes still the same with a cold expression marred in his face.
"Good to see you have arrived in time Uzumaki-san but please come a bit earlier next time" Genma said.
"Sorry I got lost in the road of life" Naruto replied making almost all the shinobi's of Konoha to face fault. If Suna and Oto attacked there and then they would've massacred Konoha.
"It seems you have shown up" Neji said as he got into the standard Hyuuga fighting stance. "Nevertheless you cannot escape your fate you will lose here today"
"And why is that Hyuuga?"
"Because Fa-" he was cut off by the blonde.
"Fate this fate that blah blah blah is that all you have to say baka hyuuga? because I don't give a crap about you and your fate. But let me humour you with one truth... it is your fate to lose by my hands today so no hard feelings." Naruto said as he got into his standard Shuryo stance.
"Hmm trust me fate is on my side" the Hyuuga said activating his Byakugan with chakra already surrounding his fingers ready to attack one of the blonde's tenketsu points. To his surprise however his attacking hand was simply slapped away before the blonde trusted a knife hand which connected to his chest.
The Hyuuga staggered backward but he tried to attack once more only to get the same result onlt this time he was chopped in the shoulder.
"So… when will fate help you win this fight?" Naruto said smugly as he evaded the attacks of the Hyuuga before ducking one blow aimed for his chest and countering by kicking the Hyuuga in the waist making his body bend a bit directly in the path of the blonde's elbow which hit the Hyuuga in his cheek.
The crowd watched as the Hyuuga prodigy one known for his great Taijutsu prowess was getting beaten in his Forte.
"Oto-sama I thought Neji-nii was a genius then why is he getting beaten" said a girl with long black hair and the same white eyes.
"Let this be a lesson to you Hanabi, there is always stronger people out there." The hyuuga head replied while seething deep inside Neji was supposed to show how strong the clan was but now he was getting his ass handed to him by the Kyuubi brat nonetheless. They really should have killed the boy ages ago if not for the Kurama.
"Come on Neji faster stronger you won't even hit me at this rate" the blonde taunted getting on the Hyuuga's nerves.
He watched as the Hyuuga got into his Hakke Rokujuyon Sho stance.
The blonde just smiled.
"You better make this attack worth it Neji" the blonde said as he made his stand extending his left arm forward making a come at me gesture.
"Hakke Rokujuyon Sho!" Neji screamed out as he started with two consecutive strikes followed by another two, followed by four more, then eight, then sixteen, then thirty-one as he was about to move for the thirty-second strike and finish the attack he noticed the blonde's hand extend and rested his hand on top of his head.
Neji just stared as the boy in front of him had a smug looking smirk, he then heard the words that would seal his fate in this match "Kodai Fuinjutsu: Managoroshi (Ancient Sealing Technique" Mystic Eye Killer)"
"Aaahhhhhhhhhhhh" the Hyuuga screamed in pain before a foot met his face and sent him barreling away.
Neji gritted his teeth in pain and glared at the man standing in front of him "What the hell did you do!"
"Simple I sealed up your Byakugan" Naruto casually replied earning a sound of shocked gasps in the audience.
"Release the Seal! Give me back my Eyes!" Neji said as he got up.
"Your eyes mean nothing to me" Naruto said punching the Hyuuga in the face.
"Is that it? Then you just proved what I said it was your fate to lose here today not mine"
"No…" the Hyuuga said as he got up.
"You already loss the use of your eyes, you know no ninjutsu, and your skills with kunais and shurikens are subpar"
"Now tell me Hyuuga, whose fate was it to lose today?" Naruto asked as Neji just charged in and jumped towards the Uzumaki
Nanaya-ken Dai Ougi: Hachiretsu (Eight Column), Naruto said as he hit the Hyuuga in the chest with a right hand palm strike. He then followed by punching the airborne Neji with his left hand before jumping up in the air and kneeing him in the chin. The moment Naruto landed he sent out another right-handed palm strike hitting the Hyuuga in the chest. This was then followed by a two-handed palm strike to the chest once more. Still airborne Naruto chopped the Hyuuga in his sides cracking a few of his ribs. To finish it off Naruto jumped up and delivered an axe kick which could've killed the Hyuuga if he aimed for the head but instead he aimed for the shoulder sending the prodigy crashing hard into the ground.
"It was also your fate to barely live…. Since fate was whimsical today" Naruto whispered as the Hyuuga lost consciousness.
"Winner of the Match Uzumaki Naruto" Genma said as the crowd cheered as the boy Shunshin'd and reappeared beside Kakashi and Sasuke.
"Good job Naruto, it seems that training with Jiraiya-sama did you good" said Kakashi eye smiling which got a nod from the blonde as a response.
"Where's Yakumo?" the blonde asked as he looked around.
"Naruto… she was disqualified from the exams and placed in a momentary leave… apparently it was under the recommendation of the third Hokage himself" Sasuke said making the blonde's eyes widen.
"What?"
"We only know it's because of some health issues" Kakashi said.
"I better visit her after this exam then" Naruto replied as he stood beside his sensei and team-mate and watched the next match.
Kage box Seats
"That young one is certainly interesting, quite powerful for someone his age" a man wearing kage robes that covered his face and a hat with the symbol of wind in it.
"He certainly is" Sarutobi replied.
"So are you promoting him to Chuunin?" the masked kage asked.
"Hmm… normally yes but because of circumstances I cannot promote him" the hokage replied making the Kazekage narrow his eyes.
'So much wasted potential in a stupid village like this' he thought as he looked back into the arena. 'Hmmm…. I'll try to invite Naru-kun to join my side after this war… he would make a useful tool…'
Back in the Arena
"Next Match Aburame Shino vs Subaku no Kankuro" Genma announced.
"I forfeit" Kankuro said shocking everyone in the arena.
"Pussy" Naruto said within the ear shot of Kankuro making the boy grit his teeth come the invasion he really was taking the Uzumaki down.
"Winner by forfeit: Aburame Shino" said Genma .
"Well then Next Match: Sabaku no Temari and Nara Shikamaru"
"Mendokusai" Shikamaru said as Temari jumped down into the arena.
"I qu-"
"Shikamaru not a good Idea" Naruto said to Shikamaru while pointing at a certain spot in the crowd.
"Shit" the Nara said as he noticed that his mother was watching.
"Guess I have to fight…." Shikamaru said as he made his way down to the arena.
Naruto just smiled as he made himself comfortable, Shikamaru always made him laugh whenever the man fought but he knew better Shikamaru's mind was his true weapon and he will be a dangerous foe in the future. So he watched the great strategist at work as he evaded the wind blades sent by the fan girl and eventually tricking and catching her using his Kagemane no Jutsu (Shadow Imitation Technique) The Nara's next actions didn't really surprise him but it still had him laughing, Shikamaru forfeited the match.
"Winner by forfeit Sabaku no Temari" Genma said as Shikamaru already began lazily climbing back up to the stands.
"Well then time for the warm main event" Sasuke said as he Shunshin'd into the arena just as his opponent Shunshin'd as well.
"Uchiha Sasuke vs Subaku no Gaara Hajime!" Genma screamed out as he took a step back just in time to get out of the way of a sand attack courtesy of the red-headed genin.
"Mother wants your blood UCHIHA!" Gaara screamed out as he began attacking with his sands attempting to grab a hold of the Uchiha and crush him.
Sasuke smirked as he started back flipping away, the sand boy's attacks was too predictable. He only needed a good shot of one of his fire jutsus to turn that sand to glass then one Chidori and bam he wins.
"Too slow" Sasuke said trying to provoke his opponent as he threw some kunais with explosive tags at the boy knowing it wouldn't do any real damage but the smoke it'll make would give him the opening he needs. As he predicted the sand converged in the direction of the explosive kunais.
'Now' Sasuke thought as he began going through some hand seals.
"Katon: Karyu Dai Endan (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Great Flame Bullet)" Sasuke said as he released multiple gigantic fire dragons from his mouth sending it towards Gaara.
Gaara just looked at the flames impassively as he shifted his arms forward his sand rising at his commanding it to block the incoming flames.
'Just as planned' Sasuke thought as he finished the necessary hand seals "Chidori" he said as his left hand was encased in lighting.
He started running towards Gaara almost not giving the boy the time to react as his sand turned into a molten mush due to the heat of Sasuke's jutsu.
Gaara looked and saw what was about to happen madness or not he wasn't going to let himself get killed. He didn't have enough time to conjure up more sand. He immediately jumped to the side hoping to at least avoid the full brunt of the attack.
"Chidori!" he Sasuke screamed out again as he trusted his arm forward before the boy could summon up more sand hitting Gaara in the shoulder.
"Tsk" Sasuke said as he canceled his jutsu and away to evade the incoming sand from the jinchuuriki.
'that was my best shot of winning' Sasuke thought as her tried coming up with another plan.
"I WILL HAVE YOUR BLOOD UCHIHA!" Gaara said as he finally gathered some sand which was suddenly covered him in a dome.
Sasuke just looked at the dome and smirked 'I can use Chidori at least 2 more times, I guess I'll go with that plan' The Uchiha ran to the other side of the arena giving him enough space for his plan. He took out something from his pouch and placed it inside his right hand as he began going through some hand seals again.
"Chidori!" the Uchiha said as his left hand was encased in lighting. Sasuke then ran towards the dome of sand evading all the Suna Shuriken(Sand Shuriken) thrown at by the sand dome.
"Hyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!" the Uchiha screamed out as his left hand pierced through the sand dome. He smiled as he knew he hit the boy as he felt the warmness of blood all over his hand. He quickly opened his right palm and revealed that he was holding a kunai with an explosion tag. The Uchiha threw the Kunai in the hole made by his Chidori before it closed up.
"Katsu" the Uchiha said as the dome of sand collapsed revealing a bleeding and badly injured Gaara.
"ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Gaara screamed out in pain as the sand started layering in his body, his hand already gone changing it to what looked like a sand shape claw.
"Hmm.. this is getting interesting" Naruto said as he watched the match only to frown when he noticed dozens of feathers falling from the sky.
'Shit' he thought as he channeled Eiko's power and dispelled the Genjutsu.
*Boom*
A sudden explosion rang out the area getting Naruto's attention the teen looked up and saw a four point barrier erected where the Hokage Box was.
'So Orochi-teme is starting his invasion huh…' Naruto thought as he unsealed his Tanto instinctively ducked before spinning around stabbing an Oto-nin straight in the heart. Naruto looked around and saw hundreds of Oto and Suna-nin's attacking the Ninjas of Konoha.
"Well better get to work" Naruto said as he used Sensou and appeared right in between three Oto-nins.
He quickly killed one by slitting the man's throat.
He killed the second by piercing him in the chest with a knife hand thrust.
He killed the last one by jumping and performing a round house kick hitting the man in the neck and snapping it.
Naruto then looked at the arena and saw Temari and Kankuro taking Gaara and making a run for it.
He then saw Sasuke get up and chase after them.
'Should I chase after them?' He thought as he channeled wind chakra in his tanto and killed another group of Oto-nin.
"Naruto" Kakashi said as he appeared beside the genin.
"Chase after Sasu-" was all he could say before Naruto nodded and disappeared.
"Wait take a team with you!, tsk" Kakashi said but from the side of his vision he saw Shino who was slowly getting up.
"Shino I have an A-rank Mission for you" the copy-nin said as he threw a kunai at a Suna-nin hitting the man in the forehead and killing him.
The young Aburame nodded as Kakashi gave him his mission.
With Naruto
"And Another one bites the dust" Naruto said as he killed another Oto-nin stabbing the man through the forehead with his tanto.
"And another one bites" he said as he did a quick Kaze no Yaiba (Blade of Wind) bisecting a Suna-nin and two other Oto-nin
"Another one bites the dust" Naruto finished as he breathed out a ball of fire burning a hiding Suna-nin who was hoping to ambush the blonde.
"Hmm where the hell did that come from?" Naruto thought as he increased his speed.
'More catching up, less killing' he thought as he saw a giant snake pop out of nowhere as well as a giant toad which suddenly appeared on top of the snake.
"Seems that gama-sennin finally recovered from the beat down I gave him yesterday" the blonde said as he finally saw someone standing still waiting for him
The blonde smiled as he stopped "Well well if it isn't Mr. Clown~ you gonna show me any of your doll tricks?" the blonde asked smugly as Kankuro took out his puppet Karasu.
"I've been waiting to do this" Kankuro said as he placed the puppet in front of him.
"I haven't cause your weak" was all Naruto said as he jumped to the side evading a bunch of poisoned senbon coming out of the puppet's mouth.
"Do you know why you can never win against me make-up boy" Naruto said as he jumped from tree to tree evading the charges and projectiles of the puppet.
"It's because" Naruto said as he channeled his chakra to his legs and activated his Magan for a moment perfectly seeing all the puppeteer's chakra strings.
"You're weak" Naruto said as he pushed off a tree towards the puppet, he sliced off all of Kankurou's chakras strings making the puppet fall limp into the ground.
Naruto then landed in front of the shocked puppeteer "Let this be a lesson to you, always have something better up your sleeve" the blonde said as he kneed the boy in the gut before extending it into a kick kicking him in the chin lifting him off ground before the blonde jumped and kicked him into a tree.
"Well then…" Naruto said as he suddenly sensed some chakra signatures approaching him.
"Sending a team of genin's for this? Kakashi must've lost his mind" he said as he noticed another group of chakra converging near the smaller group.
"They're ninja it's about time they grew up and learned the harsh reality of our business" he stated knowing that the people in the group haven't even gotten their first kill yet.
Naruto just shrugged as he continued chasing after Sasuke.
Within the Four Corner Barrier
"Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei(Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation)" Orochimaru said as he managed to summon the shodaime and niidaime hokage.
"Sensei…." Sarutobi said as he looked in shock at what Orochimaru did.
"Saru its go-" the Shodai was stopped from talking when Orochimaru placed a kunai with an intricate seal written on it in his head. The snake man did the same to the Niidaime making both the Kages lose their emotions turning them into 100% puppets to the sannin's will.
"You are going to die and lose here sensei" Orochimaru said as he looked at the old kage.
"That maybe the case; but even if I die the Will of Fire will shine brightly upon Konoha's future!"
"What future? I was here in your genin test and the only future I see is Team 7" Orochimaru replied as he looked at his sensei.
"I do believe we were team seven back then as well sensei and look how we turned out, one remains loyal to the village but is a pervert, one left the village not wanting to return, and lastly yours truly who left the village and vows to destroy it"
"What is your point Orochimaru" the Sandaime said as he narrowed his eyes at his student.
"Well I'll say that this team seven is following the footsteps of its predecessors. One will stay loyal to the village, one will leave the village never to return, and one will leave and vow to destroy it"
"What do you mean all of them are per-"
"Hahahah you really must be senile old man! The Kurama heir stays, The Uchiha leaves to join my side, and the Uzumaki will leave as well and come back to destroy this place"
The Hokage just chuckled "There's no way Naruto would do that he loves this village."
Orochimaru just sighed and face palmed as the two hokages attacked "you really are senile"
Back to Naruto
After a few minutes more of running Naruto spotted an unconscious Temari. He smiled knowing that he was really close to Gaara he really needed to talk some sense into that one.
"There we go" Naruto said as he spotted Gaara who looked like a mini-Shukaku pinning the Uchiha with one of its hands on a tree.
"Dynamic Entry!" Naruto screamed out as he came into the scene kicking the semi-transformed Gaara in the face forcing him to let go of Sasuke. He quickly made a clone and had it take Sasuke towards the group of Konoha genins still chasing them.
"UZUMAKI!" Gaara screamed out in half madness as he saw Naruto standing a few feet in front of him on top of a tree branch.
"Mother wants your blood!" the boy said as he fired off a huge sand wave towards the blonde hoping to crush him to death.
Naruto just kept quiet as he ran towards the top of the tree evading the wave. The moment the wave passed he channeled a lot of chakra from his feet as he propelled himself from the top of the tree and landed right next to Gaara.
"Snap. Out. of. it!" the blonde said as he punched Gaara three times in the face before sending a knife hand trust to the boy's stomach.
"Gaaahhhh!" Gaara screamed out as he looked at the blonde with rage.
"Why? Why won't you give mother your blood!" he said as he rushed in again forcing the blonde into a defensive. He though he had the upper hand but he began to notice that all his attacks were missing or barely avoided while all the blonde's counter attacks hit spot on.
Gaara gritted his teeth in frustration as he send his gigantic claw like arm towards the blonde attempting to grab a hole of him and crush him. He smirked as he grabbed the blonde in the leg. However, the smirk quickly vanished as the clone began glowing before exploding.
"Aaaaggghhh" Gaara said as he staggered back and to his surprise seven other clones dog piled on top of him before exploding.
"Damn you have to love that technique" Naruto said as he watched what happen from top of a tree.
'It's easy to use ammunition for someone with huge chakra reserves like you Naru-kun but for others… well they're not that lucky' Eiko said getting Naruto's attention
'Hmm your probably right'
'Oh and Naru-kun you better look closely at Ichibi'
'Huh? Why haven't I owned him enough?'
'No the boy just used a jutsu to fall asleep while you were distracted and Shikaku in all his glory is already standing behind you'
"Wha-" the blonde said barely having anytime to use Kawarimi to avoid being crushed by a gigantic Shukaku.
'The hell…. Why'd you distract me Eiko-nee?'
'Cause I don't have much lines to say during this chapter'
'WTF?'
'Exactly'
Naruto just sweat dropped at the weirdness of his tenant, Ei-nee was just plain weird from time to time. Shaking his head Naruto looked back at the current problem in hand.
"I'm FREEEE" the Bijuu screamed out as it began rampaging firing balls of winds all over thearea.
"Okay now… how to deal with this…. No summon so can't use them to try and pin him down so I can beat the crap out of Gaara…. So I guess I'll go with THAT"
The blonde said as he began creating a fire red spiralling sphere in his hand.
With Sarutobi and Orochimaru
"Shiki Fujin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal)" the Sandaime said as his clones took out both Shodaime and Niidaime.
"NO!" Orochimaru said as Sarutobi tried to yank out the snake's soul.
Orochimaru looked at his sword that was a few feet away from them.
"Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Ku no Tachi(Grass Cutting Sword: Longsword of the Sky)" Orochimaru said as he sword levitated. He gestured with his fingers for it to come and impale Sarutobi.
It impaled Sarutobi but before it could go all the way through to kill him it was grabbed by Enma, Sarutobi's personal monkey summon.
'Fuck' Orochimaru thought as his soul was slowly getting pulled out.
With Naruto
The blonde just kept smirking as he looked at the mad Shukaku raging firing Futon: Renkudan (Wind Style: Drilling Air Bullet) everywhere.
"Bigger…. Stronger….." the blonde said as the sphere in his hand grew bigger and brighter.
"Just right" Naruto said as he channeled Chakra to his legs and disappeared using Sensou to get close to one of the beasts legs.
"Katon: Oodama Goen Rasengan (Fire Release: Big Ball Great Flame Spiralling Sphere)"
Naruto screamed out as he hit the leg of the Ichibi making it screech and actually making the humongous Bijuu stagger.
"Now" Naruto said as he created ten clones which all began going through some hands seals.
"Fuuton: Daitoppa (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)" all the clones screamed out before dispelling sending the blonde jinchuuriki up in to the air.
Naruto kept making a clone mid-air which tossed him up wards as he got closer and closer to the still sleeping Gaara.
"Time to wake up!" Naruto said as finally landed right in front of the boy. He quickly moved around avoiding the sand who was trying to protect its master.
"Rise and Shine!" Naruto screamed out as his fist connected to the genin's face waking him up and dispelling the Bijuu.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO! I just got out!"Shukaku screamed out as he started to vanish.
'Ah crap…' Naruto thought as he and Gaara started free-falling.
With Orochimaru
"Die! Old Man!" the snake said.
"Never! Not until I take you with me" Sarutobi replied as the two continued struggling
With Naruto
Naruto was lying down in the middle of a wide human shaped creater.
'How the hell did I survive that?' he thought as he saw Gaara whose fall was cushioned by his sand.
'Because you're the main character'
'What?'
'Nothing'
"Stupid weird voices in my head" Naruto said earning a tick mark from his tenant as he stood up and walked towards the barely conscious Gaara.
"Don't don't come closer… don't end my existence!" Gaara screamed out as he tried but failed to move from his position.
The blonde just kept walking towards him before kneeling down and looking directly at the young Suna-nin's eyes.
"I won't kill you…. better yet…" the boy smiled as he extended his hand towards the red-head "I would like to become your friend" Naruto said making the boys eyes widen.
"Why?" Gaara asked.
"Because were the same…" he dropped his façade for a moment.
Gaara saw it those eyes filled with pain and sadness those eyes filled of isolation, of hate, of anger.
"How?"
"As you carry the Ichi I carry the Kyuu" the blonde replied.
And then it hit Gaara the blonde was a jinchuuriki like him, a human sacrificed by their village for power.
"So can I trust you to become a friend? To have my back? One jinchuuriki to another " the blonde said.
The red-head kept staring 'a friend' he thought as he extended his arm and shook the blonde's hand.
And so the two sacrifices shook their hands in the midst of an invasion.
A friendship born through battle.
"Good" Naruto said as he gave one of his bright smiles. This was one friendship he was planning to keep. This boy knew his own pains and will most likely side with him when things go bad. Gaara felt the same. There was finally someone who will acknowledge his existence to give his life meaning, to trust, someone who won't betray him like the others.
'Yeah it's good to have someone who knows my pain.' The y both thought.
"Sleep for now Gaara, I'll wake you up when the invasion is over" the blonde said.
"I can't sleep?"
"Why?"
"Every time I sleep, Shukaku takes over…."
"Hmm can you show me your seal" the blonde asked.
The red-head nodded it seems he was being to over trusting but he really didn't care. He showed the blonde his seal.
"Don't worry I won't do anything that may hurt you…" Naruto said as he looked over the seal. Seeing the problem he produced an orange flame on the tip of his index finger as he began tinkering around the seal, fixing it.
"Try sleeping now…" Naruto said as he silently used a small sleeping genjutsu.
"But…"
"Trust me" Naruto said getting a nod from the red-head who slowly closed his eyes drifting off to the world of sleep for first time in years.
"You can come out now" Naruto said as Temari and Kankuro appeared behind him.
"Gaara" the two screamed out.
He stood up and looked at the two of them who took up their fighting stances even thought they were both beaten up they still stood strong.
"Don't worry he's asleep" the blonde said.
He then looked intently at the two other Sabaku Siblings.
"Take care of him" Naruto said as he started walking away.
"He's been through too much…. Don't let him become….like…" the blonde didn't finish as he quickly vanished from the scene.
With the Kage's
"Shiitttttttttttt you asshole!" Orochimaru screamed out as the Shinigami sliced off his hands and are it with the soul of his teacher.
"Plan's over we need to leave now!" the snake sannin said getting the attention of his elite sound four.
The four took down the barrier and immediately grabbed their master as they made their escape.
The sannin just gritted his teeth his arms were burning it was like they were hit by the Amaterasu. However as he endured the pain he spotted something, something that made his eye widen a bit. It was that blonde boy standing in a distance looking directly at him as the boy's eyes met the snakes.
One wanted to destroy the village the other wanted to leave.
The blonde just smiled and waved at the snake sannin before dispelling revealing it to be nothing but a Kage Bunshin.
'Extremely Interesting…' Orochimaru thought before passing out because of the pain.
Back with Naruto
Naruto reappeared in a clearing a few meters away from where he and Gaara fought.
"You look like shit" Naruto said as he looked at the badly beaten Uchiha.
"Shut up" was the Uchiha's only reply.
Naruto just shrugged as he waited for the genin team who has yet to reach them.
He then noticed some Oto-nin and Suna-nin running away before getting the info from his clone.
"It seems that the invasion is finally over…." the blonde said.
"And I still have to visit Yakumo" he added as he looked up at the sky.
"Guess that can wait until later"
Two Days Later
It was dark and cloudy day the eerily quiet village of Konoha.
All of Konoha assembled as they mourned for those who lost their lives from the invasion.
It started raining as if the weather was reflecting the various turbulent feelings in each and every villagers of the currently damaged village of leaves.
Numerous ninjas lost their lives and all but one mourned greatly for the fallen Sarutobi Hiruzen.
As the people cried one teen just stood there and stared at the picture commemorating the dead Hokage. It was a simple picture of a smiling old man, so kind and gentle, a father to his people; but he knew better this guy was the cause of most of his suffering.
He knew of the two previous containers of the Kyuubi and how their status was kept hidden.
He knew that the Kage assembled the shinobi council and revealed his existence to them.
He knew that the man purposely ordered the ANBU not to intervene until his life was hanging by a thread.
He knew that the man was planning on making him loyal to the village to be its willing sacrifice.
He knew…. He knew better than everyone….
This was not a kind and gentle old man….
The one teen closed his eyes, if there was one thing he was grateful for the Sandaime is that his actions gave birth to his abilities.
The teen opened his eyes as he undid the seal.
He saw how fragile the world was, he knew the importance of life, and he knew the power of death.
He looked closely at the picture one last time as he slowly turned around.
"Sayonara Sarutobi Hiruzen" the teen said coldly as he walked away.
A few Hours Later
Three figures were sitting across from each other inside the now empty Hokage Office.
The frog sage, Jiraiya was sitting on one side while on the other sat Koharu and Homura the elders of Konoha.
"Jiraiya we want you to be the Godaime Hokage" said Homura
"I can't there is someone better to take the job" replied the sage.
"Are you sure you don't want to be Hokage? Once you pass this opportunity we will never offer it to you again" asked Koharu
"I'm completely sure, I will never take up that hat"
"Very well, then who do you think is better suited for the Job?" asked Homura.
"Senju Tsunade" was the Sage's reply.
"She is a Senju, a direct descendant of the Shodaime and Niidaime as well as one of the Sannin and the greatest Medical-nin in existence" added Jiraiya.
"And how are you going to convince her to go back to Konoha?" asked Koharu.
"Simple, I'll just need Uzumaki Naruto to come with me and I'll be able to convince her"
"Huh? That demon brat? Why?" Homura said making the Sage glare at him.
"Mind repeating that?"
"Why do you need him with you?" asked Koharu trying to put the conversation back on topic.
"Trust me, I believe he's the key to bring her back to Konoha" the Sanin said as the three continued their talks.
Next Day
Naruto sighed as he walked towards the Kurama Compound, the past few days have been hectic for the young Uzumaki. He was forced by Kakashi to help out with the reconstruction of the village He planned visit to Yakumo three days ago but was delayed because of the invasion, construction, and mourning. Speaking of mourning Naruto also noticed that Yakumo wasn't there during the memorial, that really bothered him as whatever it is Yakumo has it must be serious for her to miss something that almost everyone in Konoha attended.
Naruto eventually stopped walking when he reached the front gates of the Kurama compound. He noticed and approached one of the two guards stationed there and asked if he could go talk to Yakumo. The man told Naruto to wait outside as he went inside the compound.
A few minutes later the guard came back accompanying an old man.
'Shit' Naruto thought as he saw the man, he knew this man well it was Kurama Unkai, Yakumo's uncle. He heard from Yakumo that this man wanted to kill her, that itself placed the man really high on his shit list.
"Good Morning Uzumaki Naruto, what brings you here?" Unkai asked as he looked at Naruto.
"I'm here to visit Yakumo, I heard she was sick" Naruto replied.
"Hmm… you may go in to see her… however keep it short, she needs time to recover"
Naruto just nodded as the Kurama gestured for one of the guards to show Naruto the way.
"We're here" the guard said to Naruto as he led the blonde in front of Yakumo's room.
"If you need anything just call" the guard said as he stood beside the door.
"Thanks" Naruto said as he knocked first before opening the door and went inside.
Naruto looked around the room; it hasn't changed much since the last time he's been here. It was still plain looking with a simple bed, a desk with the mask she bought a few days ago lying on it, a shelf full of various scrolls, and finally various art materials spread around all over the room.
"Hello Uzumaki-san" a voice said grabbing Naruto's attention and making him look towards the bed.
"Hello Kumo-san" he replied
-Pov Yakumo-
A few minutes ago
"Arrrggghhhh" I screeched out again as I felt the pain once more.
'Kill….Kill…..You know you want to kill…..' the voice said once more as I clutched my head and started rolling around the bed.
'Who are you, what are you?' I asked I don't really know what it is but it just started talking to me. It started telling me to kill and every time the voice said it hurts.
It really hurts.
It's as if someone hit me in the head a hundred times.
It really hurts.
'I am you…. you… want…. Kill….'
'You can't be me… I don't want to kill'
'Kill…. You know you want to kill…. You know why you want to kill… remember…. remember why you want to kill…..'
I clutched my head even harder, it was painful this voice caused me so much pain, I wan't to cry in pain but I promised myself never to cry again.
I told him I'd never cry again.
'You want to kill…. Killed parents…'
'huh?' I thought as I heard the voice mention something about my parents.
'You want to kill….. cause…. Death… your parents…. Remember… Remember…'
'I…. I…..' I thought as I began to remember a scene from the past.
"No…." I said as my eyes widened.
'Kill…. The cause pain…'
"No" I said once more as I realized what the voice was asking me to do.
"We're here" I heard a voice coming from outside my room.
"If you need anything just call" the voice said once more.
"Thanks" I heard a familiar voice say making me widen my eyes.
'Uzumaki-san is here' I thought as I immediately straightened myself and tried to ignore the voices in my head. I then heard a knock before the door opened.
I smiled as I saw him looking around the room, that blonde hair and cerulean blue eyes, those cute whiskers like marks on his face.
I heard the voice get louder but I decided to ignore.
"Hello Uzumaki-san" I said getting the attention of the Blonde.
"Hello Kumo-san" he replied making me chuckle internally he really had that fond habit of giving someone nicknames.
"How may I help you?" I asked him.
"Well, I heard about what happened are you feeling better now?" the boy asked.
"Whatever do you mean Uzumaki-san?"
"I heard from Inu-san that you had some medical condition that made you miss the Finals"
"Ah, Yes…. I haven't been feeling well for a while, it might just be a seasonal flu, no need to get worried about it Uzumaki-san"
"Hmm… I never had aflu…"
"Yes, because Idiots don't catch them" I replied.
The blonde just let out a hearty chuckle.
"So how did you do on the exam?"
"I kicked a Hyuuga's ass before the invasion started and from the looks of things Me and Sasuke are probably going to be promoted to Chuunins"
"That's good to hear" I said with a smile although feeling a bit sad deep inside. The two of them were going to leave me behind
'They are going to leave like your parents….. kill…. Pain… caused by…. Kill….'
'Shut up' I thought as I tried to hide the pain from Uzumaki.
"Are you okay?" the blonde asked as he walked closer to my bed and leaned in.
"I'm fine, thank you for asking Uzumaki-san"
"Are you sure?" the blonde said as he leaned his entire body into my bed, getting closer and closer to me until his face just a few inches away from mine his forehead meeting mine.
I couldn't help but blush at the boldness and the feeling of closeness that the blond is showing.
His lips were just a few inches away.
"Hmm… you don't seem to have a fever" the blonde said as he leaned back.
I tried to hide the blush.
'Stupid Blondes' I though as I decided to tease him a bit.
"Oh my… pretty straight forward today Uzumaki-san"
"Huh?" the blonde replied.
"It's just you and me, in this room, I'm sick and defenceless and you're in my bed" I said teasingly making the blonde's eyes widen.
"Just please be gentle today" I said with a seductive tone as I looked away to hide the grin in my face.
I heard a loud thud as I could only guess that the blonde jumped a few feet away.
I looked in the corner of my eye and saw him blushing.
He really was cute.
'Kill'
He really is a good friend.
'Kill'
I really like him
'Kill'
I really….
'Kill'
"Ughh" I said as I clutched my head.
"Are you alright?" I heard the blonde said as he held on to my shoulders.
"I'm okay" I replied but I really wasn't the words got louder, it became more painful, but since he's here.
I have to stay strong.
"Everything is fine Uzumaki-san" I said as I smiled at him.
"It doe-" was all he said as a puff of smoke covered the room.
"Huh?" I though as I looked at the source and saw a small orange frog was standing in the middle.
"Are you Naruto?" the frog said as it looked at me.
I just shook my head as I pointed to the blonde.
"Are you Naruto?" the frog asked the blonde.
"Yeah, what does Jiraiya want?"
"He asked me to give you this" the frog said as it pulled out a scroll and gave it to the blonde.
"Mission Complete" the frog said as he vanished.
'Weird' I thought as I saw Uzumaki staring at the still closed scroll.
"You can read it here if you'd like I won't mind it" I said as the blonde nodded as he opened the scroll and started reading it.
I heard the blonde let out an audible sigh.
"A Mission?" I asked.
"Yeah, with the frog pervert…" the blonde said as he burned the scroll.
"I don't appreciate you burning stuff in my room"
"Sorry" the blonde said as he scratched the back of his head.
"When do you need to leave?"
"Right now…"
"You can go" I said
The blonde just smiled sadly before turning around "I'm sorry that I have to leave so soon but I hope you'd get" Naruto said with a tone he doesn't often use.
It was a tone of warmth and caring that I've only heard him use a few times.
'Ano… Are you alright?'
'There…. There... let it all out….'
'Call me Naruto'
I smiled as he looked at his retreating figure as he left my room.
He was my first friend.
'Kill' I heard once more as the pain started again
He was my best friend.
'Kill' the voice said increasing the pain
He was my team-mate.
'Kill' it said as the pain just intensified.
He was my crush.
'Kill' the voice said as the pain reached new agonizing heights.
He was the man who I...
'Kill' I heard it say again
Love.
"Naruto..." I said as I closed my eyes and passed out from the pain.
AN: And CUT
Notes: slight delay for the next 2 chapters as they will be released back to back. The first arc will end in 3 chapters
AN: Naruto was using Eiko's powers subtly to unlock the points Neji was blocking rendering his attacks ineffective. Not really that satisfied with this chapter because I was actually planning to end it when Naruto meets Itachi and Kisame and the parts with gaara felt rushed imo….. Oh and I do know it was just team Hiruzen but I decided to make it team 7.
ANN: Naruto trained for one month with Jiraiya and it was serious training well as serious as possible so just full contact spar. Naruto was mostly holding back not wanting Jiraiya to report his true skills to Sarutobi (only performed High Chuunin level). He defeated Jiraiya once the day before the invasion [w/o sage mode] as he thought that Orochimaru may attack Konoha and kill sandaime. If he was mother frigging aizen he'd say just as planned.
ANNN: Next story to update is The Fifth then FAI:TH after that it'll be N2
