Leaf contracts
Minato had the Konoha 12 training with their new artefacts, well most of them Neji, Ino and Team, 8 were still yet to get their pactio so they just sat on the sidelines watching "I hate this, this our village and we haven't receive any extra power like them!" Kiba growled. "Relax Kiba, we'll get them one day, but for the meantime we must prepare for her in our own way" Neji said "Easy saying coming from the guy who has a bloodline trait" Kiba said getting irritated. "KIBA! That was uncalled for" Shino said as his bugs buzzed loudly "oh, who cares!" Kiba barked before storming off to cool down elsewhere "Is he usually like that?" Minato asked his son "Not always, something big must be bugging him, sorry Shino" Naruto said looking at the bug user "Not at all" he replied.
Kiba walked down the main street of Konoha when he spotted his sensei Kurenai Yuhi-Sarutobi "OH hey Kurenai sensei" KIba said walking over to her "Kiba, I thought you were training" she said as she picked up some groceries "Yeah, it's a special one, and I wasn't doing much and left" Kiba said. "Were you not doing much or getting angry?" Kurenai asked. "Is it that obvious?" Kiba asked. "I know about these pactio abilities that the others have and you're a little angered that you don't have one of those yet, but you still have a partner" Kurenai said "Huh, Who Kurenai sensei?" the chunin asked "What about Akamaru?" She asked looking at her student "Yeah I suppose, I acted like an academy student" Kiba admitted. "I understand your frustration Kiba, maybe one day your pactio will be activated and you will feel like the others do, a better person and ninja" Kurenai said "Thank you Kurenai sensei" Kiba said bowing before running off. "One day that boy will be a great shinobi, but for now he needs to rely on his friends a bit more" Kurenai said. "For only then can you gain a way to fight the darkness that threatens this land, Kiba" Kurenai said walking home.
Kiba walked along the path with his faithful companion next to him "Hey Akamaru, did you want to do some training?" Kiba asked as he patted his partner's head before the canine companion started growling at the sky "Akamaru?" Kiba asked looking for the threat amongst the clouds until he sensed something looking he saw Kabuto. Kiba's mouth became a snarl. "Kabuto you traitorous snake, why are you here; and how did you reverse the effects of your merge with Orochimaru?" Kiba asked noticing Kabuto was a normal human again rather than that weird snake hybrid he was. "Oh that; you see" he started before throwing a kunai that nicked Kiba's sleeve.
"Evangeline made a deal with me, that if she returned me to normal I'll help her destroy the leaf and make it into her new kingdom, now why am I telling you this? The reason is simple really. You only have three hours left to live and the nearest hospital doesn't have an antidote for the poison that is flowing in your veins due to the fact it is derived from an ancient flower that is now extinct, you see the reason it's extinct is that it dies once it's poison is removed" Kabuto said smirking as he saw Kiba fall to the effect of the venom on the kunai that marked him "I'd suggest you hurry up and get some help to weaken it before you die" Kabuto smirked as he left "Bastard" Kiba growled.
Kiba quickly took out a kunai and impaled his arm where the wound was before wrapping it in a piece of fabric and giving it to Akamaru, "Take this to a medic quickly!" Kiba barked before fainting in the street as he saw Akamaru bolt to find a medic "Hurry boy" Kiba muttered blacking out. Akamaru ran off with the kunai in his mouth hoping to save his master and friend.
Naruto was sparing against Asuna, who was currently winning "Is that all you have?" Asuna asked dodging all of Naruto's Taijutsu strikes, Minato watched his son and latest student go head to head while the others were practicing their pactio abilities with the new chakra conversion ability taught to them by Nagi and Minato, "Come on blondie keep up" Asuna said dodging a rasengan. "Not bad; okay you two take a break" Nagi said.
As the group started their break, Akamaru came along with the kunai in his mouth and gave it to Ako, Konoka and Sakura. "What is this, boy?" Sakura asked. "I think it's covered in a poison" Ako said examining it "I don't the type if it is" Sakura said looking at it "I do, it's old; real old." Nagi said using diagnostic magic. "Who know this mixture of poison?" Konoka asked as Akamaru tugged on her dress. "Who cares we need to follow Akamaru" Naruto said knowing what was going on.
"THERE!" Sakura said summoning her medical gauntlet artefact, "Kiba, oh man we need him healed so we can find out who did this" Asuna said "No, get him to the hospital, I'll find out who did this to him" Naruto said pulling out Arai-kaze. "Are you sure?" Setsuna asked receiving a nod for an answer. When the girls left with Kiba, Naruto looked at a shadowy corner. "Kabuto, I see you've got rid of that snake DNA in your body" Naruto said "Oh yes, Queen Eva certainly did a good job of that, however it was painful" Kabuto said drawing his kunai "I take it that is the kunai you used to poison my friend?" Naruto said eyeing the poisoned steel weapon in his enemy's hand. "Yes it is" Kabuto smirked before throwing it at him. "You seem to forget, my healing skill immunes me from powerful poisons and deadly wounds" Naruto laughed grabbing the kunai a millimetre away from his sleeve "WHAT NO!" Kabuto shouted before two Sound grunts appeared "ADATE EXCALIBUR!" Naruto said summoning his legendary blade. "Lord Kabuto fall back!" one of the grunts said before having a wound given to him. "Alright, I already have enough data" "Data?" the jinchuuriki knight asked "Of course" Kabuto said disappearing in a cloud of black smoke.
"So, they are after something here, but what? Could we be another attack, again why are we always being attacked?" Naruto asked, "Who cares I have to get this kunai to Sakura" he said wrapping out of the area. "That didn't quite go to plan, but all they have is nothing" Kabuto smirked to his guardsman before leaving the area.
"SAKURA! I got a sample of the poison" Naruto said giving the weapon to Sakura who did a chakra scan on it. "No, we don't; this kunai is covered in plain water, Naruto where did you get this?" Sakura asked. "Kabuto himself, he must have given us a dummy one so we couldn't heal Kiba" Naruto said before going into his sage form. "Naruto, what are you doing?" Sakura asked as her friend moved into Kiba's hospital room and closed the door
"Sage art: Mystical Sage Palm Jutsu!" Naruto shouted before drawing the poison out into a black orb of liquid hovering in mid air "Now for a container" "Got it" Ako said appearing holding the container so the poison fell into it "Get it analysed!" Naruto said before healing Kiba. "Naruto?" Hinata cried out as Naruto finished the jutsu "Are you okay?" Shino asked "Yeah, just a major drawback, it uses a lot of my sage chakra" NAruto groaned as Kiba also groan waking up "Hey" Kiba whispered "Are you okay?" Shino asked "Yeah, just a bit stiff" Kiba said sitting up, seeing Naruto on the floor. "Hey Naruto; are you alright there man?" he asked.
"So that was the Sage mystical palm jutsu, when did you learn healing jutsu?" Kiba asked as he lay in bed "A while ago, it helped me heal Nodoka from a bad magic burn by drained my reserves so I ended up in a bed." Naruto said as he started to recover from his jutsu "Anyway that poison was not a normal ninja one" Naruto continued. "He said it was from an ancient flower or something" Kiba said getting out of bed only for Sakura to push him back into it "NO getting up the poison may be in your system still, luckily Naruto knew what to do, but what should we do about you guys, I mean out of the Konoha 12 You guys, Ino, Sasuke and Neji don't have one." Sakura said using her artefact to heal the remaining traces out of Kiba's system.
The next day Kiba tried to sneak out of the hospital when he came upon Naruto waiting for him. "Sneaking out Kiba?" Naruto asked looking up at his friend. "Don't try and stop me, Naruto" Kibsa growled. "I'm not" Naruto said looking up "You were fooled by Kabuto and injured by him, so you want payback and I'm going to help you get it" Naruto said "Hopefully I'll obtain an artefact" Kiba said as he and Naruto raced to find Kabuto. "Where to first?" Kiba asked "I have an idea" Naruto said.
"The plan worked perfectly" Kabuto said chuckling. "Did it Kabuto or are you just lying to yourself" Naruto said appearing with Kiba at his side. "Naruto Uzumaki and a still alive Kiba Inuzuka" Kabuto said shocked by Kiba being alive. "You forgot I was a sage Kabuto" Naruto said before yelling out: "ADATE EXCALIBUR!" Naruto said "You're going down you snake loving bastard" Kiba said unsteathing his claws "Try it Dog breath" Kabuto said summoning a snake "oh and Naruto, you're not the only sage" Kabuto said transforming into a snake mutant "A snake sage?" Kiba asked "Great" Naruto said as the Dragon like sage snarled.
Suddenly a light shone behind Naruto and Kiba, "Time to power up Kiba" Naruto smirked. "What?" he asked before seeing the circle, "Oh" Kiba said entering the Pactio circle "I don't think so" Kabuto said before being blocked by Naruto. "NOW!" Naruto shouted. "Pactio" the voice saidas the light shone brightly before revealing Kiba now with wolf pelt cape, and a clawed gauntlet on his right hand "alright now it's time to fight!" Kiba growled as the claws on his gauntlet extended with energy.
"Damn how did I not stop him in time?" Kabuto asked as he dodged Kiba's attack before narrowly missing Naruto's blade "That was close" Naruto said "No kidding" Kiba said "Time to take it up a notch, Akamaru!" Kiba shouted as his canine partner entered the fray "You got it!" Naruto said as Excalibur casted a green glow. "I; Naruto Guardian Knight of the wind hereby brings announce the end of you injustices!" NArfuto said as Excalibur blade disappeared. "Justice technique: Forest blade!" Naruto said as a dozen blades of wood spiked out of the tree Kabuto was on "NOW!" Naruto shouted "Right; Hyper Fang of Fang!" Kiba shouted before a powered up version of one of his signature attacks. "Not this time" Kabuto said phasing out just as Kiba's attack was about to hit him.
"He's gone great, anyway I Abeat" Kiba said returning to normal. "I agree, abeat Excalibur" Naruto said returning Excalibur to it normal hiding place. "Now we better get you back to the hospital otherwise I'm going to be in big trouble" Naruto said
