Chapter 7: the calm before the storm
"Konoha tai renge" He went for his last kick but it was block. Once she thought she had him he smiled and with a burst of speed appeared behind her with a kunai to her throat.
(Wow Lee has exceeded all expectations he even opened the death gate) She said to herself remembering the black chakra from last night. He turned her around and pinched her cheek.
"I got you some new clothes you should try them on." Sasuki said smiling at him.
"Well we should probably started getting ready." He said taking her hand and them walking away.
Today was the day that Chikara would come. They didn't know what would happened but they were prepared for the worst. Anbu would be on patrol everywhere even Tsunade was ready for the fight. From what Ryuuzetsu told them she was very powerful some even called her a god. Naruto was more concerned about Ryuuzetsu than anything he really was concerned about all them. He didn't want know of them to get hurt he didn't know what he would do.
But he didn't want to think like that because if he did it would probably happen. That morning when he woke beside Ryuuzetsu he wish he could have just stayed in bed with her all day. He had such a great time bonding with her nothing else mattered. He layed there and stared into her eyes until they slowly started to open.
"Good morning Naruto-kun." She said greeting him with a kiss.
"How are you feeling?"
"A little soar but I'll live." She said smiling at him and rubbing her hand on the side of his face.
"Last night was Amazing you were an animal last night."
"Ah well you how Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze does it, makes you wish we have done this sooner." He said smiling. She playfully hit him in the chest as she got up and headed to the shower. She looked back at him and said,
"What are you waiting for?"
"An invitation." He laid there for about half a minute then got up and followed her into the bathroom. After a thirty minute shower and getting ready for the day they headed downstairs to the smell of food and Mei in the kitchen. Naruto raised an eyebrow. Mei in the kitchen cooking and it looked edible.
"Ok what restaurant did you get thi-"
"Hey I got the rest of the stuff oh Fu is here Naruto."
"No way Fu!" He looked behind Chun Li to see his second favorite Jinchurikki besides Yugito.
"Hey Naruto I miss you!" He said squeezing the life out of him. Here and Naruto got close after he had went to visit the land of the waterfall to visit the leader Shibuki and ask for some hero water. His time there they created a bond he could have asked her to be with him but she told him he was like a brother so he didn't. Kami only know what would have happened if they got together.
"Wait why is everyone."
"Because our future husband needs all the strength he can get." Chun Li said kissing him.
"Plus you are always so nice to use so we wanted to show you are appreciation." Yugito said coming by and patting his cheek.
"And FWI I didn't cook this they did I was just stirring this." Mei said smiling at him.
"No matter what happens we will protect you Naruto-kun." Once Viper said that his beloved people gathered around him and Naruko and Fu joined as well.
"You always risk your life for use we want to risk our life for the man we love."
"Plus you did teach us and awesome jutsu that we each adapted to our own way." He chuckled remembering he did teach them the Rasengan all of them he was curious to see them use it in combat. He seen Mei launch one at Ao but it wasn't at full power she had needed work but it was funny to him. Seeing the man crashing into a group of people. The only person who he can say mastered it was Ryuuzetsu. She even could do the Odama Rasengan and he didn't even teach her that.
"Thanks all of you but I would-"
"Be able to forgive yourself if we died? Naruto its ok we are strong women! We aren't helpless ok darling we will be fine when it happens just focus on Chikara."
"When are you gonna teach us the-"
"Not happening." They all shared a laughed before grabbing plates and piling up food and getting ready for the day.
At the hokage office Ryan was there by himself with Shizune discussing today. As they waited for Tsunade to come.
"Hey Ryan let me ask you something."
"Yeah."
"Do you think I can be as strong as Tsunade?" He touched her cheek making her blush.
"You're a strong woman with strong values. I admire that, don't try and be like Tsunade be better."
"Do you mean that?"
"Yes you are a very smart, intelligent, beautiful kuno-" Before he could finish it was like his words shot a burst of energy into her she jump on him and started kissing him without knowing what she was doing but when she did she stopped.
"Um, ok."
"Sorry, I don't know what just happened It's like my body could control itself."
"Why was that Shizune?"
"Tsunade-sama."
"Ryan go get ready it starts in two hours."
"Yes mam." Hey looked at Shizune and brushed her cheeked then he vanished in a swirl of wind and leaves.
"We should get going also come on Tonton."
"Oink!" "Shizune, next time at least take a man out before you throw yourself at him gosh did I ever teach you anything." She said teasing her about what happened. Even though she was laughing she still knew, that Chikara was on her way. She knew she would have to put her life on the line and not let anyone die and with the stone village on there way she was confident and knew they would win. Everyone started to head to the stadium early to get a seat, before the fighters arrived. They couldn't wait to see the Namikaze and the rest of team Minato in action. Everyone had there different opinion of who would win.
Most said Sasuke Naruto or Ryan. Ever since the mist village they couldn't wait to see Naruto in action. They wanted to see Ryan and Sasuke fight each other. Everyone knew it would be an explosive match. Even the kage wanted to see that. Some even over heard about the whole Chikara thing but wasn't too worried since Naruto and Naruko would flash the whole village away when it happened. Tsunade looked out over the crowd that this year had turned up, it was exactly what she had expected the turn out to be this year, With Team Minato in the tournament the blond Hokage had sent several personal letters to Daimyo's and anybody who she deemed as important to let them know that she had special attractions for them at the tournament this year.
"Hokage-Dono." Tsunade turned around to see Mei Terumi greeting her with a smile, walking up to her with her two bodyguards on either side.
"Mizukage-Dono," Tsunade greeted as the woman took a seat on the blonds left.
"You know this is the first Tournament I've been to as a Kage." Mei said as she looked down at the stadium smiling as she saw Naruko but kind of frowned when she didn't see Naruto.
"It's rather exciting."
"It is a rather interesting thing to see from this perspective." The two women and their bodyguards turned to see Gaara and his two siblings walking up to them,
"I myself had the same feeling the first time I watched this as a Kage."
"Kazekage-Dono, it's a pleasure to see you again," Tsunade greeted.
"How was the trip here?" Gaara took off his Kage hat as he sat down the left hand side of Mei,
"it was fine, there was nothing very eventful that happened." Gaara turned to Mei,
"you are the new Mizukage correct?" he asked.
"Somewhat," Mei said as she held out her hand, which Gaara accepted after a bit.
"I have heard many things about you from Naru-koi." Gaara cocked an eyebrow at the suffix, he absently wondered if the Mizukage and Naruto had a relationship outside if just what he did for her during the civil war. When Naruto had visited the sand he had not mentioned being close to her, then again Gaara had gotten the feeling that there were a lot of things his blond friend had not mentioned back then.
"He has spoken of me?" Gaara enquired. Mei smiled,
"quite often, he told me about the similarities you two have with your past." While Gaara's siblings were slightly shocked, the red haired Kazekage merely nodded in understanding.
"Looks like everyone else is already here. Wait were is Ohnoki that short weird nose bastard was always good at being late."
"Watch your mouth I've just arrived in town." Ohnoki said as he flew up to where the Kage was with his two guards.
"It looks like this year has gained quite the crowd; I don't think there have been so many people at one exam." Ohnoki said taking his seat.
"We have quite a big turn out this year," Tsunade agreed as everyone sat down.
"Though it may be that some of the people here are really coming to see one of Konoha's more Infamous shinobi." The Raikage laughed,
"yes that would not surprise me, people always seem to have something of a fandom for certain powerful figures in the shinobi world. And I must admit few seem to fill that requirement as well as Naruto-san does!" Kankuro leaned into Temari's ear who was currently looking down at Ryan and he whispered,
"It seems that Naruto has really gotten around." He could not believe that the little pipsqueak who had only worn orange and screamed to the top of his lungs was so famous. Not only famous but apparently had some kind of intimate relationship with the Mizukage, who in his humble opinion was a complete babe.
"I know what you mean," Temari whispered back,
"he seems to know every Kage in the elementals."
"Yugito-chan," Mei greeted the younger woman with a smile,
"are you looking forward to seeing the Namikaze twins in action?" Yugito looked at the red haired woman and offered her own smile, despite their rough start the two had ended up becoming friends.
"I am, knowing Naru-kun she should be as good as him and she is going against a Hyuuga this should be an interesting match." As the two women talked the other ninja on the booth looked at them, most wondering how the two knew each other. None of the kage's or their bodyguards besides Tsunade knew that Mei and Yugito had both been staying at the Namikaze estate. Tsunade had made Naruto tell her the relationship with all of the girls he planned on marrying. They all looked as Naruto appeared in a flash in midair and came down making the crowd roar.
"He knows how to get the crowd fired up." The Raikage said as they watched him jump in the crowd and signed autographs along with the Uchiha Senju.
"I'm curious to see him fight." Gaara said looking at Ryan.
"He is strong I can tell you that." One of Ohnoki's bodyguards said.
"Wait your Kadis latimore the kid that does meteor release, I've heard about y'all death match and that you managed to crack his perfect Susanoo." Mei said looking at him in awe.
"The crack seen round the world is what people was calling it. He is one of my better students." Ohnoki bragged as he sat back.
"But he have those eyes." Kadis said as he remember hearing about the Rinnegan. He was always jealous of his ocular power but that made him train times as hard.
"The first match is about start... Its Ryan vs koi. He is a water style user from the Mizukage's village this should be interesting." Raikage said looking down at the fighters.
"Are yall two ready?" Genma said to them.
"Hajime!" Ryan stared at his opponent.
(So he is a water style user so he can do a wide variety of attack I should stick to lightning style.)
"Im going to say this once give up I'm one of the best water style users in the ninja world." Then he did a series of hand signs and then said.
"Suiton!" Then he did a backflip and spewed out a water, and it shot towards Ryan.
"Im not done Raiton!" He slammed his hand on the water and the lightning electrocuted Ryan burning him severely leaving him unconscious on the ground.
"And the winner is k-" Then Ryan's body turned into wood.
"He is very impressive he has gotten stronger."
"Thanks Mizukage-sama." Everyone in the Kage booth turned their heads to see Ryan hanging from the ceiling.
"You just got here didn't you."
"Yeah I should kill him now." He jumped from the ceiling and stood in front of temari and stood on the rail and closed his eyes. The Mizukage gave him a nodded and turned her head. She actually never liked Koi he always tried to flirt with her even though he knew she was with Naruto so she didn't care.
"tsukuyomi..." Then Ryan opened his eye and the arena turned blacked as Koi started in to his eyes. Thunder clouds started to form in the sky as Ryan held his hand up in the air.
"The name of this jutsu is Kirin." Then a lightning dragon busted out of the clouds and roar scaring Koi to death.
"Now be gone... with the Thunder clap!" The sent his hand down and the lightning crashed down and scared the land and all people saw was the water style user screaming and he wouldn't stop.
"Now that's battling with the eyes the Senju are the most powerful clan be grateful you fought me." He said looking at his opponent as he passed out becoming brain dead.
"Geez Ryan... The winner is Ryan Uchiha Senju!" The crowd cheer as he looked at the body and then went to the stands.
"Amazing his genjutsu skills were never like that in the mist, what do you think Raikage."
"Hmm I was expecting more of a fight from the water style user but that's what I would expect from the mist with a woman in charge."
"Raikage..." Mei said smiling at him.
"What is it?"
"Shut up... or I'll melt your balls off." She said smiling at him. He turned around slowly and coughed. Tsunade couldn't help but laugh and when she did the whole booth started laughing.
"Oh the Next is about to start... Darui vs. Rock Lee..." Mei blinked as she looked on the field.
"Wait where is Lee-san that's one of the people I wanted to see fight I heard he was might be as fast as Raikage."
"Ha I doubt it I'm the fastest ninja alive." He said sticking his chest out.
"Was until Naru-koi came along and ended a war in a mere matter of minutes."
"Damn that Namikaze." They looked down on the field to see that Lee has not shown up yet. Even The contestants where getting nervous. Sasuki hadn't showed up either.
"Hey where is he I heard he has been training his ass off like always?" TenTen said looking worried. There was chatter among the crowd of people as he hasn't showed up.
"Since Rock Lee hasn't shown up yet he is d-" Right before Genma finished it started to rain hard. Then a mixture of Rain and wind a became a giant and in the eye of the storm stood...
"Is that Lee? He looks different!" Naruto said look at him. He had on a white and black button up shirt Similar to Bruce lee's with black bandages instead of white, He wore a black head band on his forehead instead of red. He muscles looked way bigger than they did a couple of weeks ago but then again Naruto doesn't really hang with the guy like he should because he always training. Rock Lee slowly opened his eyes and looked in the ground at Guy who looked totally shocked by his beloved student's appearance.
"Wow never knew Lee was such a hunk." TenTen said looking at him for a far.
"This is gonna be hard Lee but you got this." She gave him a kiss and did a hand sign and disappeared up to the contestant stand.
"Let's make this quick." Darui said holding out two fingers.
"He is going for the kill no matter how faster he is. Darui's black lightning with catch him." Raikage said looking down as the match was about to start.
"Hajime!" Rock Lee threw two shuriken that was quickly dodged by a giant sword. Then within a blink of an eye Lee was in front of him prepared to kick his stomach but right when his foot came up Darui flipped backwards and got some space. Rock Lee ran towards him zigzagging across the field and threw a shuriken and then did a couple of seals and that shuriken turned into seven more that Darui dodged. Then he did some hand signs and put his hands together.
"Raiton laser circuit!" Then the lightning appeared from his palms and rushed towards Lee and when they thought it connected all was left was a piece of wood.
"Was that a... No way Lee... Ninjutsu!" Naruto said as he watched the matched.
"When Rock Lee was born he had seals placed inside his brain so he couldn't do ninjutsu I simply released them... No one knew not even my Lee." She said as she pointed to him.
"Seishun!" He did a hand sign and chakra started to be released from his body.
"Full power!"
"Gale style Black panther!" Darui stuck of his hand and a black lightning panther jumped out and leaped towards Lee. He saw it come and started Running towards a wall. Then he put his foot on it and back flipped off cause it to crash in to the wall. Then he held out his arm with his hand open.
"Chakra palm!" Then a blast of Chakra was release from his palm as he thrust it in front of Darui but he dodge with his cleaver. By the time he was about to sheath his sword Rock Lee was about to slam his foot to the side of his but he used his sword to block it but it was kicked away and sent into a tree. Then Rock Lee disappeared behind me and he drop kicked him in the back making him on to the ground.
"What kind of training did he do?" Gaara watched as Rock Lee reached in his pouch.
(Fine you have a weapon so I will use this) He pulled out some nunchaku and Channeled chakra into them. He swung them around couple of time and looked at Darui .
"What is he about to do?"
"He is about to end it watch or you might miss it, you're totally gonna crap your pants Naruto." Sasuki said gaining her a laugh from everyone.
"Raiton!" Then the black lightning raced toward Lee and he used his Nunchaku to block them but they absorb the impact.
"Now I sent it back!" Then he swung them and a wave a black lightning rushed towards Darui that put him on his ass. Rock Lee saw him getting up and while running he opened up the third gate a rushed him in the air started hitting him a blinding speed before slamming him down.
"Ura Renge!"
"The winner Rock Lee!"
"Wow what happened he was doing ninjutsu I could have sworn he couldn't do it!" Temari said looking at him jump up to the contestant area.
"Yes he has gotten way better I think it has to do with that Uchiha girl he has been hanging with." Shizune said to everyone.
"Raikage you look mad."
"The hell I am, Darui was just off of his game." He said crossing his arms.
(Wait what is this feeling.) Naruto said as he looked around.
"Something is wrong with Naruto-kun." Yugito said pointing him out. She had noticed that he has been unable to be still since Lee's match had started. Naruto had noticed she was looking, then he pulled out a tri pronged Kunai and flashed away.
"Where did he go?"
"I'm right here Yugi-chan."
"Naruto kun/koi!" They both ran into the blonde's arm almost tackling.
"Are yall playing Nice."
"Yes." Yugito said giving him a passionate kiss. Then Mei pulled him in for a more heated kiss which left him somewhat breathless. The other Kage just stared. Gaara's face was the same color as his hair. Kankuro wipe some blood from his nose then leaned in Gaara's ear and said,
"How is Naruto getting play from two hot chicks."
"I wonder how he does it? It was hard enough getting Matsuri but that ended quickly because she moved here." Kankuro gave him a weird look because he never thought that his brother would be interested in women.
"Honestly I think I spoil yall too much."
"Yes you do because we are good thats all there is to it."
"What's wrong Naru-koi?"
"She is close..."
"You mean..."
"Do we need to evacuate."
"Not yet... I've marked every villages so I can flash them away, I'm still worried, if anything happens to anyone of you I could bear the thought."
"Don't think about it then think about this... you come home a later that night and all you see is a trail of rose petals and they lead to your room. When you open the door you see Me, Yugito, Chun Li, viper, and Ryuuzetsu. Candles are light all over the place, soft music playing and we are waiting on our hands and knee summiting to you and giving our bodies to you."
"Now I can really fight with no limits." Mei slapped him on the ass and smiled.
"Now go cheer for you sister ok." She said closing her eyes and smiling.
"Roger that!" Then he flashed away.
"Umm that was um..."
"Who is Chun Li?"
"How does he have 5 babes and I don't even have one."
"Well maybe if you would stop looking at pornography or playing with puppets you could get one." Everyone started to laugh.
"Oh Naruto's twin sister is about to fight! Go Naruko!" Yugito yelled at her.
"You seemed worried and conflicted but don't let your guard down or I could end you." Naruko took out a Hiraishin and throw it in the air and caught it and looked at Hinata.
"Don't get to confident." She said getting into a stance. The two studied each other, waiting for one another to make the first move. They were planning to end it with the first move. Hinata move her leg slightly and Naruko took that as an opening and threw her Hiraishin that Hinata caught. The moment it got in her hand a flashed appeared to her side and Naruko grabbed the kunai and pushed Hinata away with the wind gale palm.
"So you do know the flash this could get interesting If I beat you here and now Naruto will come back to me, please don't take this personally." She closed her eyes and activated her Byakugan.
"You want my what?" She said with a clueless expression on his face.
"Yes years ago he left the village and we broke up... I was being stupid but I will not lose him again." Naruko clapped her hands together and closed her eyes and attempted to go into sage mode.
"I won't let you!" "Damn it." Naruko said as she keep her hands together and her eyes closed and dodged Hinata's attack using her sensory powers and senses. Once she found an opening in Hinata's defense he kicked her away from her and did a hand seal.
"Henge!" Once the smoke clear Naruko stood there in sage mode staring at her opponent.
(Wait what is this evil feeling... Wait no not now I...) Before she was finished with her thought Hinata face palmed her and sent her flying back but she quickly recovered.
"Hinata I think we got to stop!" She said dodging the barrage of palms coming her way.
(I can't stop not until Naruto is mine again I have to keep swinging.) Then Hinata saw her lose her footing and went for the final blow.
"Gentle step twin lion fist!"
"Rasengan!" The spiral ball connected to her back and sent her crashing into a tree.
"WE HAVE TO STOP I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO PROVE CHIKARA IS..."
"Please don't stop on the count of me... I was enjoying this." She said as she licked her lips coming out of the ground. Naruko picked up her Hiraishin and threw it towards the sky and did a hand sign. Naruto couldn't believe that she was hear now but he had to snap out of it or the people he loved could get hurt.
Oh shit! CODE RED CODE RED! SHE IS HERE! HIDE THE CHILDREN! HIDE THE WOMEN! WHERE IS MY SODA! well the storm is finally here. I like how Hinata got decimated by Naruko that was funny I had to do it even though I am a naruhina fan I had to just once. Some one Pm me asking for Ryan to have his own book That is possible in the near future after this series. But it war people let go!
