Naruto Forgotten Son of Prophecy

Chapter 8

Naruto was making good time as he warped off towards the jinchuriki of Matatabi. He was a bit worried about one chakra source that was making its way towards it as well but he figured it might be Kumo's version of ANBU going to get her to return to the village.

He noticed how large it was and then he noticed there was another that was closer to her. He didn't quite like it as he started to worry. It wasn't until he felt Matatabi come out until he cursed his luck. If he was right then he'd be dealing with the Akatsuki.

His foxes had informed him about the organization that was stationed out of Amegakure and how they wanted to steal all the Bijuu. He found it a bit funny how he, one man, was able to do more than a team of around nine or so could not.

Of course he didn't doubt they were strong. The leader had defeated Hanzo the Salamander when no one else could and the entire organization consisted of S-Rank Missing-nin. He just hoped he could handle the two of them.

'Whatever they throw at you we can help you with Naruto' Son Goku said with a smirk as he patted his chest hard.

'Thanks guys but I don't want to reveal that I have you all inside me. It'll make me a bigger target. I need to take them down with the powers that are known. So my Mokuton and other elements. No Rasengan or Hiraishin unless it is for a finishing move' he thought as the Bijuu nodded along.

'We will focus on keeping you supplied with chakra and healing whatever damage they manage to do' Karumi said with a nod. 'Just be careful, you aren't invincible'

'I know Karumi, I'll be careful. I can't have you all getting out until I create bodies for you all and put my seals on them' he thought as he neared Matatabi's location.

He frowned as he could hear the sound of fighting and what he figured to be Matatabi's roars. Silently he put on his Asura disguise and covered his Rinnegan under it as well. He unsealed Gobosei and frowned as he saw a man with a three bladed scythe and a masked man with teal eyes fight against Matatabi like it was nothing.

The scythe wielder had grey hair combed back and had black skin with white designs on his skin that resembled a skeleton. He had some cuts and burns on him but they healed insanely fast and he didn't seem hindered by them.

The other man had darker skin and teal eyes and red sclera. He wore a mask over his face so he couldn't see much. He was firing off jutsus from these strange masks in his back and these black tendrils were connecting the masks to him. They looked strong since from what he could see they held his body together and filled it as well. From what he could see they each mask had a signature in them so they were either separate entities or had their own power that he controlled.

They both wore a long black cloak that had red clouds on it. 'Hmmm so they are Akatsuki' he thought with a frown. He could see they were strong if they were able to hold back a full Bijuu and barely look even hurt at all.

He was brought out of his thoughts as Matatabi passed out and reverted back into her jinchuriki. The woman looked a few years older than him. She had blonde hair that was a duller shade than his and tied back in a single ponytail. She wore what he figured to be regular clothes for Kumo consisting of purple and black. She was covered in numerous cuts but stable from what he saw.

He decided to get involved as he sent wooden tendrils out to cover her and attack the two Akatsuki members. He drew Gobosei as he looked down at the two of them "So Akatsuki is making a move? And here I thought they needed more money to do anything" he said with a smirk. "Though I never understood why since I've been doing your job and I don't have a yen to my name"

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes at the Bijuu hunter. He was glad his plan worked to get the hunter here "Well once we capture you we can figure out what you did with the rest of the Bijuu and we will be nearly complete in a flash" he said as he kept his masks trained on the man.

"Hidan, you get close range I'll cover you from behind. Try and get some blood of his so you can do your ritual" he said quietly to his teammate, unaware that the Bijuu hunter over heard him.

"Whatever Kakuzu! As long as I get to sacrifice him to Jashin!" the scythe wielder yelled as he dashed off with great speed towards the Bijuu hunter.

Naruto ducked under a slice and blocked the follow through with Gobosei. "Hachi" he said as eight astral blades formed around him and went to attack Hidan since they couldn't travel too far away from him.

Naruto didn't know what this ritual was but he wasn't about to let the man get some of his blood to find out. He was impressed at how Hidan was able to hold off his blades without much trouble.

He quickly summoned a wooden wall to protect him from a water shot from Kakuzu. "Hmmm from what I saw you can use every element, very rare" he said as he ran through one handed seals and took a deep breath "Fire Style: Grand Fire Annihilation!" he yelled out before he breathed out a massive wave of fire towards the two members and summoned two clones to move off and gather Nature energy, hidden by the flames.

Kakuzu chuckled as he moved his water mask in front of him "Water Style: Water Formation Wall" he said as a massive torrent of water shot out at the fire and canceled it out creating a large amount of steam that clouded the cavern they were fighting in.

"Nice plan using fire knowing I'd cancel it out to create a smokescreen" Kakuzu said with a chuckle. "Are you gonna run away now or something?" he asked as he heard the Bijuu hunter chuckle but the thing was that it sounded like his voice came from every direction.

"I'm not a coward Kakuzu. I merely wait to get things done" Naruto said as he went into Sage mode and slammed his foot on the ground. "If you are the same Kakuzu from history books than you have experience fighting Mokuton but let me tell you one thing" he said as he created something that should give him time to defeat Hidan as the masked man was still fighting his astral swords even in the mist.

"And what is that?" Kakuzu asked until the mist cleared in a massive gust and he nearly paled at what he saw. The Bijuu hunter was standing on top of a massive wooden nine tailed fox that was the same size as the real.

Naruto smiled thankful he was able to fill it with iron sand before he cleared the mist "I'm not like Hashirama, I have much more creativityand power" he said as he jumped down and the wooden fox went straight for Kakuzu who used his metal wires to evade the fox but it kept following him. He had no idea how it was possible since the hunter's eyes weren't on him to control it. It was almost like it was sentient.

Naruto held back a smirk as he saw Kakuzu struggling with his fox 'How is it going Karumi? Easy to control?' he thought as he dodged under a slice from Hidan.

'It's going great Naruto, a little weird but feels nice even if this is only a tiny substitute' she said as she was focusing on trying kill the masked human. Naruto had been theorizing how to give them temporary bodies if he needed them but wanted to keep them secret. All it took was a little bit of their energy in it to make it like a puppet to them and with Naruto's marker in it he could give them shared vision from it.

He smiled as he broke Hidan's guard and kicked him hard in the chest with his Kaiser Fist. He could clearly hear bones breaking as Hidan flew back and crashed into a pillar before falling onto the floor.

"Ah you bastard! Do you know how hard that will be to heal!?" Hidan yelled as he adjusted his chest and spat out some blood. Naruto rose an eyebrow at the man. That would have nearly killed other men but for some reason it did nothing to Hidan except make him yell a bit and then fix himself.

'He has to have an insane pain tolerance and high regeneration or maybe it has something to do with that skeleton like form and this ritual Kakuzu mentioned' he thought as he sent his blades after the man, who was still busy fixing his chest.

Hidan was almost done until he felt his arm get cut off by one of that man's damn blades before he dodged backwards to avoid getting his head cut off. "Jashin dammit! Do you know how hard that will be to sew back on!" he yelled as he dashed towards the man with one arm and a broken chest.

"What are you immortal?" he asked as he parried the scythe and cut off his left arm as well until as the limb flew in the air he noticed something. Hidan was wearing a ring similar to the one Guren gave him. Only difference was that it bore the kanji for three on it and it was orange. He had heard that Orochimaru use to be in the Akatsuki but he had no idea about these rings.

He quickly kicked Hidan away again and grabbed his scythe before slamming it down through the hand that had inched its way along to try and attack him. He snatched up the spike at the end of the scythe and stabbed it through the other hand before quickly taking the ring and sealing it away.

Hidan was struggling to stand up without his arms and was cursing up a storm "Of fucking course I'm immortal! How else do you explain this you fuckhead! Now give me back my arms so I can kill you and sacrifice you to Jashin-sama!" he yelled making Naruto sweat drop.

He didn't really have a solid idea on how to kill the so-called immortal. Sure he had one idea but it was untested. 'Might as well test it' he thought with a sigh.

"Well if you are immortal, survive this" he said as he summoned a Rasengan in his hand. Hidan nearly laughed until it started to grow and course with lightning. He watched as it almost turned into a comet with a large tail of lightning behind it as he held it above his head. Hidan could see the lightning was still being kept into a ball. He had only heard things about the Fourth Hokage's techniques since they were deadly and he often loved blood and gore, but he never heard of it becoming like this.

"What the fuck is that!" he yelled trying to scoot backwards but wooden tendrils held him in place.

"The Rasengan but I completed it where the Fourth could not. I copied his technique from textbooks and advanced upon it. This is the RasenSuisei and the technique that will kill you" Naruto said as he jumped high in the air and threw the RasenSuisei at Hidan.

He tried to struggle out of the bindings as the large comet flew at him but found it useless. He closed his eyes accepting his fate just as it hit him.

Naruto and Kakuzu watched as the RasenSuisei exploded in a fury of electricity. Kakuzu could barely look at the explosion. It was a massive dome of bright blue light that was nearly as bright as the sun. From the bits he could see he knew it was a dome of pure lightning as there was an occasional bolt that burst from the controlled dome.

Naruto was slightly out of breath as he faded out of Sage mode but the other clone dispelled and he went back into it.

Being done with Hidan he turned his attention over to his fox to see one tail of it was on fire and two others had been sliced through while another had an earthen spike going through it. The body looked mostly undamaged except for a few places where there was scorch marks from lightning and iron sand was spilling out.

Kakuzu looked a bit out of breath and his robe was discarded to reveal his sewn together body but other than that he was fine. "Hmm so you're stronger than I thought" Naruto said as he warped behind the man and grabbed one of the masks and keeping it closed.

Kakuzu stared at the hunter in shock 'How the hell did he get behind me that fast!?' he thought as he tried to pull his mask away and fired a lightning bolt at the man though he dodged it easily.

He knew already he wasn't going to win. He had killed Hidan like it was nothing and personally Kakuzu made no leeway on the giant wooden creation of his except for damaging the tails and the body a very minor bit. The hunter was right, he is nothing like Hashirama, he's scarier and much stronger.

Kakuzu quickly reached into his kunai pouch and pulled out the black rod their Leader had given them if they ever needed a quick escape. He quickly plunged it into his leg and he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Naruto watched the scene in slight worry. 'That was a chakra rod, the same ones I can make. How does he have one and who summoned him away?' he asked as he erased the Mokuton fox.

'I don't know Naru-chan but it can't be good. If someone else made the Rinnegan then you have to be more careful to keep yours hidden' Karumi said as everyone nodded.

'We can't have them know about us in you either. They could do the same thing you did to get us out of you' Son Goku said with a frown.

'I'll be even more careful but first let's absorb Matatabi' he thought as he sent a strong stream of fire to burn the last remains of Hidan's arms. The body was completely gone, nothing left except a massive crater that gave off the occasional discharge.

Naruto removed the wooden dome that was around the jinchuriki and placed a hand on her forehead to put her under a deep sleep and to start the absorbing. He used some Mokuton to help as he didn't want others walking in on it. He didn't doubt that the sound of the explosion alerted others.

Naruto hissed in pain as he could feel Matatabi's chakra enter his coils. No matter how many times he did this it always hurt but at least with her being the two tails it wasn't nearly as bad as it was for the higher tails like Kokuo or Son Goku or especially with how Karumi felt when he absorbed her through his sister.

Around an hour or so later Naruto broke the link and let out a sigh. Thankfully Matatabi had spent her energy fighting the two Akatsuki so absorbing her wasn't that difficult or lengthy. She would recharge inside him and then wake up once she was back to full strength.

He quickly summoned a clone before searching her memories for a Kumo ANBU. Once found he made the clone transform into him and carry the sleeping used-to-be jinchuriki. "Take her to Kumo and tell them how you saw me steal her Bijuu. Don't tell them how I did it, say you were knocked out once I started. Make sure that everyone knows that Kumo lost the Nibi so that the tension between the Nations disappears for now" he said as the clone nodded and dashed off.

He desperately needed to think of what he needed to do next. Chomei was more than likely already in Konoha so he lost out on the chance to get her before she entered the village. And he doubted they would be lazy with her security considering all the others have been going missing.

Then there was the fact of the transplant. He needed to find Tsunade to do it since she was the only one he knew could do it perfectly. Just the fact of getting her to agree to it was going to be difficult since she hated being in the leaf village or having anything to do with it due to her past. He was surprised she even agreed to look after Kushina.

Walking out of the cavern after sealing up Hidan's scythe he let out a sigh. He needed to seriously relax, maybe visit the hot springs that were in the temple. Anything to ease his stress. He closed his eyes and felt out for his marker in the temple before flashing away.

He needed to look everything over before planning his next steps.

-Tsunade-

Tsunade groaned as she downed another cup of sake. She was thankful to out of that damn village again. It constantly brought up too many bad memoires. She still cursed Minato for abusing his powers by making her return or label her a missing-nin and have her Sannin status revoked.

Essentially making it so she wouldn't be able to go into any village other than the Leaf.

Thankfully she worked it into the deal that once Kushina was fixed she could leave freely and never be forced to return. She didn't realize it had taken nearly around six or so years to do which annoyed her to no end. Luckily she had Shizune with her through it all.

She wanted nothing other than to just enjoy her life gambling and drinking her sake.

Tsunade slammed down her glass and narrowed her eyes. She was getting annoyed since someone had been following her for the last few hours as she walked around the small town before ending up at this bar. She was waiting until last call to confront whoever it was.

She paid for the sake and left the bar. She took the long way back to the hotel, walking through an empty part of the town because if things got violent she really didn't want to accidently destroy the town and get kicked out of it.

"You can come out whoever you are!" she yelled as she cracked her knuckles. "You have been following me for the last few hours. You are either incredibly ballsy or idiotic" she said as she heard someone walk out of the forest that surrounded the village.

"With you this doesn't surprise me, Lord Orochimaru always speaks fondly of your skills" a grey haired, glasses wearing man said as he smirked at her.

Tsunade frowned as she narrowed her eyes at the man. She knew who it was from Jiraiya and his spy reports. His name was Kabuto and the main lackey of her ex-teammate Orochimaru and if he was here for her than it wasn't for anything good.

"What does Orochimaru want from me?" she asked with venom in her voice once she spoke the name of her ex-teammate.

Kabuto frowned a bit "Orochimaru-sama is seeking your medical prowess to heal an injury he obtained in a recent battle" he said making the blonde medic frown.

"You mean when he invaded the Leaf Village and someone named Asura kicked his ass?" Tsunade said with a smirk. She wasn't about to actually help her bastard of an ex-teammate but she'd listen to see if there was a way for her to possibly screw him over.

"Yes, that man did injure Orochimaru-sama but that is why I am here to make a deal with you for your services" he said as he stared her down. "In return for your healing skills he will offer to revive your precious Dan and Nawaki" he said before barely dodging a chakra infused punch.

Tsunade's eyes were full of rage as the ground under her exploded and Kabuto was sent falling down from the shockwave of the blow. "I swear if he messes with them I will personally crush his head in my hands!" she yelled as slammed her foot down causing the ground to shake more.

Kabuto was sweating on the inside. He knew they were a sore subject for the blonde medic but he didn't think it would be this bad. "Please calm down and just consider and we will return in a week" he said before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

Tsunade glared at the retreating man and dusted her clothes off. 'How dare that bastard even think that would sway me!?' she thought as stomped back to the hotel room. She may be still mourning them but she knew that the dead should stay dead, no matter how hard she wished for them back.

If anything she felt like reviving them would only tarnish their memory and how they lived. She really hated her ex-teammate.

She was so angry she never noticed a small fox following her to the hotel and placing a paper tag on the ground in front of the hotel.

The fox frowned as it looked around 'Naruto-sama isn't going to like this' it thought before dispelling.

-Kumo-

The Raikage was beyond enraged. He stood over Yugito's body as he had his best healers working on her. From what his ANBU had told him that she had fought with two Akatsuki before having the Bijuu stolen from her though all they knew is that the man touched his hand to her head, somewhat stabilizing her before he left and the ANBU was knocked out.

This made him worry if they were blaming the wrong person. The one they thought had no real way to steal them and all he seemed to do was fight the jinchuriki. Someone else could have done something to steal them. He needed to look into it to make sure.

"How did this even happen!" he yelled as he slammed his fist down on a table, breaking it instantly. "I ordered her to stay in the village for Kami's sake and I ordered all of you not to let her!"

"Raikage-sama, they kidnapped a close friend of hers and she sneaked by us with help from the Nibi" one ANBU said as he bowed his head down in shame.

Ay narrowed his eyes before sighing. He knew Yugito was very loyal to her friends so he didn't blame her as much but he still was not happy about the situation in the slightest. "Send out a message to Suna and Iwa telling them what happened so they can stop threatening us!" he yelled as the ANBU darted off quickly to avoid the anger of their leader.

Mabui frowned as she looked down at Yugito and brushed some hair back behind her ear "At least she is alive. If the Akatsuki got her I doubt they would have let her live" she said as the Raikage grunted and nodded.

"Whatever, we need to get stronger security around Bee, if they could handle the Akatsuki then who knows how strong he really is" he said as Mabui nodded and planned to get right on it.

"Let's hope he isn't stupid enough to actually try and steal Gyuki while Bee is in Kumo" Ay said as he stared out the window. He felt like he needed a drink after this stressful ordeal.

-Konoha-

Mikoto smiled as she sat behind her new desk. So far she had been in office for nearly a day and she was enjoying it.

She had so far removed the bounty from Naruto's Asura persona under the reason of him only stealing the Kyuubi to save Nasumi and the village since no one could really pin it on him. Even with the Iwa incident, they only saw him fighting the five-tailed jinchuriki.

They had no proof he actually took them since they had no proof he could even steal them since he only had one hour and no possible way to have stolen the Gobi. It was useful that he was a spy for them so she was able to explain that the jinchuriki found him when he was getting info on them and that someone else broke in after to steal the Bijuu in the aftermath. Some still were a bit nervous about it but Mikoto could be very convincing when she needed to be.

She had a hawk go off and message Naruto that she had a surprise for him but she knew how busy he was with his task at hand. It had amazed her how he had five of the nine Bijuu.

(She doesn't know that he has just gotten Matatabi).

She was so proud of her adopted son. Especially after he saved her other son Sasuke. Ever since the Orochimaru incident where he destroyed that man's mark Sasuke had shown signs of getting rid of his angry and arrogant personality. He was still cold to some but to her and Itachi he had broken down and apologized for how he acted.

It was then when Itachi pulled him into his Tsukuyomi to explain what happened to their father and how he had no choice. Sasuke accepted it and actually promised to grow strong and fight Naruto again to prove he had grown.

It made her smile that he wasn't mad at being defeated but saw it as a wakeup call.

She was brought from her thoughts as a knock at her door rang out. She put down her book she was reading as her clones were doing their paperwork "Come in!" she yelled.

She didn't quite know why no one ever thought of using shadow clones before for paperwork or tasks like that but then again not everyone could handle it.

"Hokage-sama, I came to ask you some things about the outcome of the retrieval mission" she heard Shikaku say as he opened up the door.

She nodded and dispelled her clones and motioned for him to sit down "From what I saw of the notes Minato sent Neji Hyuga, Choji Akamichi, Kiba Inuzuka, Shikamaru Nara and Nasumi Namikaze to retrieve my son" she said as she looked through the notes.

"Yes but there is still the issue of your son" he said with a frown.

Mikoto already knew this was going to come around sooner or later. Sasuke knew he would be in trouble for what he did so he was ready to accept whatever punishment that came his way, though she didn't want it to be too harsh.

"I know and am I right to say the Shinobi council has already ruled on a punishment and you just need me to approve it?" she asked as he nodded and handed her a file.

She opened it and frowned at it. It wasn't harsh but she knew it would upset him nonetheless.

'Person(s) being charged: Sasuke Uchiha

Crime: Attempting to betray Konoha

Circumstances: He was marked with Orochimaru's curse mark and slightly brainwashed.

Charges: 2 Year probation from duty and placed under heavy watch as well as therapy sessions to make sure Orochimaru's presence is fully erased. Chakra will be sealed except to his eyes.'

She sighed and stamped it with her seal "Have Itachi there when he is charged" she said as Shikaku nodded.

"Okay" he said as he pulled out another file. "There is a representative from Taki here to discuss the ordeal about the fear of the Bijuu hunter, the person who snatches away Bijuu after Asura defeated some jinchuriki" he said as she nodded.

"Bring them in" she said as Shikaku her advisor, other than Itachi, nodded and left the room.

She looked at the file and narrowed her eyes at it. 'They want to get rid of their 'demon' because they are afraid?' she thought with a scowl. She never understood how people could see jinchuriki as demons but then again the Bijuu weren't even evil to begin with, just angry at being sealed away.

She looked up as the representative entered the room. "What may I do for you?" she asked with a very slight smile. "From your file you wish to have Konoha protect your jinchuriki by having it inside our walls and all you ask is for a small repayment for the lack of Bijuu?"

The Taki jonin nodded "We are afraid to have her in our village since she is a target for our small village and if she were to get in a fight with this hunter we worry if she will go on a rampage" he said hiding the malice when he mentioned the jinchuriki. Though he failed desperately considering Mikoto was very skilled at reading emotions.

"Well we are allies and the amount you ask for is reasonable" she said as she read it over again. "Did you bring her with you or did you leave her in Taki?"

"I brought her, she is being watched by three of your ANBU in the entrance to the building since they were on guard considering what happened the last time a jinchuriki visited the village" he said as she nodded.

She flared her chakra a bit signaling her personal ANBU to show themselves "Crow and Raven, please go with this good sir to get his payment and Crow please escort the woman at the entrance to my clan buildings. I believe Itachi will know where to place her to make her feel safe" she said as Crow disappeared and Raven went with the jonin.

Mikoto let her smile show once the man was gone. She was glad that he came here since it would make it that much easier for Naruto. Plus she could get him to visit her even sooner than when she expected. She had totally forgotten about Itachi telling her that he heard Taki was moving their jinchuriki here, she had been focused on other tasks at the time.

She smiled and sat back. She hoped everything was going well for her Naru-chan back at his temple.

-Nasumi-

Nasumi bolted up in her bed and let out a small scream before covering her mouth. She was covered in a cold sweat and she was shaking a good bit.

She had the same nightmare that she had been having ever since she discovered the cupboard. She nearly threw up as she remembered it all. All the bone chips and nails as well as blood. To think he injured himself that much just to escape made her feel queasy.

She had been disgusted that her father didn't even bother to clean it up. Just place an odor seal and a lock seal on it. She heard from Hinata, who heard from her father Hiashi that her father had been arrested and charged. He had his chakra sealed and placed under house arrest and lost his clan and techniques.

She had been glad but in her mind he needed to feel how it was for her brother, being locked up in the house and had to claw out to escape while they were on vacation.

She remembered going on that vacation and asking her father where her 'Onii-chan' was. Looking back she saw how her father redirected her question and seemed to almost forget he even had a son.

It made her feel even worse. She was afraid that her brother hated her for taking the attention away from him and leading to them neglecting her. All because of her Bijuu that she lost while in the Wave village.

She honestly didn't mind not having it but the fact that the whole reason for him being neglected was now gone made her feel sick.

She was at least glad her mother had admitted what she did wrong and helped bring her father down. She wasn't as bad as her dad but still bad enough to get chakra sealed and house arrest, no losing her clan.

She debated rejoining her mother after cooling down at her friend Hinata's house.

She was brought from her thoughts as Hinata opened her door "Nasumi are you okay? I heard a scream" she said as she looked down at her friend and realized what happened.

Hinata knew of Nasumi's nightmares and she tried to do everything she could to ease her friend's fears. She had never met Naruto in person but from the stories she heard from Nasumi, who asked Mikoto, he was a kind boy until the neglect happened.

"It's okay Nasumi" she said as she hugged Nasumi, who hugged her back.

Nasumi smiled as she hugged her friend until she struggled as she was being smothered by Hinata's large chest. She pushed her friend away gently and took some breaths "Damn Hinata, stop smothering me with your huge chest!" she yelled jokingly as she poked her friend's chest getting a meep from her.

Hinata blushed as she stuttered a bit until Nasumi laughed and hugged her again. "I was joking relax. Thank you for being here for me, it means a lot" she said as she smiled to her friend.

"Of course Nasumi, you are my best friend" she said as they talked for a bit since neither could sleep.

After a while they got on the topic of her brother. "Do you think he will ever return?" Hinata asked with a frown.

"I think he might soon once he hears of how Mikoto is becoming Hokage and how my father is being charged" she said with hope in her voice.

She was hoping for that day so that she could apologize and maybe regrow a sibling relationship.

-Chapter End-

Okay, terribly sorry for the super late release. I was at my friends longer than I thought.

Suisei means comet and it is my version of a lightning element Rasengan. A whole lot happened in this chapter. I hope you all liked it as I am very tired from writing XD

Until Next Time,
