(Italics: Thoughts/Flashbacks/Dream sequence. Bold: Title and Kyubi's / Demon's / Inner Characters's Speech. Underline: Time Skips)
Six Months Later...
Naruto stood in the center of a large room. sending out small pulses of chakra in order to create a radar effect in sensing movement. Suddenly four cloaked men appeared, drawing swords of light from a construction of light particles emitting from the very chakra radiating from their bodies.
Naruto grinned and held his hand open in front of him, an orb of light appearing and hovering in front of his fingertips.
Naruto reached both his hands into the vortexs of energy, sliding out twin ancient, powerful looking Katanas crafted of light, after that Naruto concentrated a layer of his golden chakra around him, his body wearing it like a suit of armor.
Naruto grinned and manipulated the chakra into his hand as he performed his signiture cross hand symbol, countless manifestations of the Jinchuuriki appearing from oblivion, all equipped with the very same twin Katanas and armor of light.
All of the Lords of Light immediately fell to one knee in a respectful bow as the speaker of the group said:
"You are truly his Son, the Son of Light."
With those words Jiraiya appeared in the corner, clapping as he walked up to Naruto and said:
"Congratulations Naruto your training is complete, there is nothing else we can teach you, you have accepted and carried out the teachings of the light, and with them there is nothing you cannot accomplish."
Naruto bowed and replied respectfully:
"Thank you Jiraiya-sensei, I will use the Light for the purpose of it's creation."
Jiraiya smiled and nudged Naruto further toward the entrance of the Temple, just as they left Jiraiya grinned and said:
"Don't let this whole Child of Destiny thing get you worked up alright? Just go back to the village, relax, get yourself a nice girl and prepare yourself when the darkness will try to consume the light."
Naruto sighed and said:
"Maybe you're right... I have been training nonstop for six months now..."
Jiraiya grinned wide and said:
"That's the spirit, now Naruto if you ever need me you can always just contact me through Tsunade, alright?"
Naruto nodded and bowed as he replied:
"Thanks Jiraiya-sensei."
Jiraiya smiled and bowed in return as he said:
"May the Light watch over you always."
Itachi cursed to himself in the darkness as he and a squad of Assassins return from yet another failed mission to collect information on the whereabouts of the Light, how could such a celestial source of power be hidden so well? All they knew was the last to possess the "Light" was the Fourth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf...
Then all of the sudden, as if fitting mental puzzle pieces together a conclusion suddenly hit him, the Fourth had a child...
Itachi raced ahead of his squad, trembling out of fear and excitement that this discovery may hold...
After about ten minutes of travel Itachi arrived at his master's room, knocking quickly, after he was given the okay to enter he turned the handle and slid the door open, emerging from the doorway as he stealthily shut the door behind him. Madara glared at Itachi as he asked:
"Good news I hope?"
Itachi grinned darkly and asked:
"Is it true only a carrier of great power such as a Demon or bloodline would even be able to possess the "Light?"
Madara got what he was getting at and asked:
"You mean members of the Great Ninja Clans? The Jinchuuriki?"
Itachi nodded and said:
"At least it's a start, we've already captured the first Seven Tailed Demons from the ruins of Akatsuki, killing off their hosts as we harvested the Demons, which leaves two Jinchuuriki left, the Jinchuuriki of the Eight Tailed Wolf and of course Living Vessel of the Demon of our Clan..."
Madara appeared lost in thought as he said:
"Very well Itachi bring me every Male of every Great Ninja Clan who's age and origin matches that of the destruction left in the wake of the Kyuubi's Rage, and that includes the living vessel of our Clan's greatest creation..."
Itachi dropped down to his right knee and replied:
"At once my lord."
And with those words Itachi vanished into absolute oblivion, leaving no trace he had ever been there to begin with.
Naruto jumped from tree branch to tree branch, excited to show his friends all the amazing things he could do with his inheritance of the "Light" element of chakra. In synchronizion with his Shadow Clone technique he became his own small army, with his skills he would easily complete the next Chunin Exam and hopefully show enough potential to be ignitiated into the ranks of Special Class Jounin, or even better, The ANBU Black Opps.
A conferance among the Great Shinobi Clans would be held to inform the population of Naruto's heritage, although the secrets of his clan would not be explained due to reasons of safety and discretion, even among the clans. Naruto didn't know how well this would go and what reaction he would receive but it couldn't be worse than how everyone treated him as a child growing up... It would be a world of difference.
After about an hour of travel the enormous gateway of Konoha came into view, opened invitingly as bored looking Chunin sat at the Guard post, Naruto picked up speed in excitement, racing right into the village, from a regular person's perspective it would seem as though a blur of golden light sped past them faster then their very eyes could follow.
Naruto came to a screeching halt in front of the Hokage Tower and walked through the front door without a moment's hesitation. After traveling up the long spiral staircase Naruto arrived at the door that led into the Hokage's Office, taking a moment to compose himself and take a deep breath as he made an audible knock on the hard, wooden door.
Tsunade sipped on some coffee to help her hangover as she heard a pounding come from somewhere nearby, for a moment she thought it was in her head until it continued, she lifted her head up and called out:
"Come in."
The door swung open smoothly as the form of Naruto emerged from the doorway. dressed in a white cloak with runes of some unknown language embedded into the clothing, characterized in beautiful golden letters. His blond, golden locks draping over his familiar whiskered cheeks, giving him a trained and rugged look.
Tsunade smiled and asked:
"How did the training go?"
Naruto merely smiled and expanded his forefingers as he reached his hand forward, an orb of golden light maifesting in his palm, with his free hand he reached into the orb and pulled out a powerful, ancient looking long sword. Golden lettering further illuminating the already golden blade, Naruto closed his eyes and just as easy as opening his eyes the blade of the sword became longer, more slender, giving it a more powerful and aerodynamic swing. Tsunade smiled and said:
"You truly are your mother and father's son, maybe I'll tell you more about them someday."
Naruto grinned and said:
"I'd have a drink with you but you already look like you had one drink too many the other night."
Tsunade sighed and sipped her coffee again as she replied:
"You got that right..."
Suddenly the door swung open and the form of Tenten appeared in the doorwaym, walking into the room with a tired look on her face as she asked in a very tired voice:
"You wanted to see me Lady Hokage?"
Tsunade smiled and nodded as she replied:
"Yes Tenten could you tell Shizune to give me todays morning paperwork? I want to go ahead and get that shit out of the way."
Before Tenten could respond Naruto approached Tenten and said:
"Hey Tenten hows it going?"
Tenten tilted her head slightly, shifting her gaze in the source of the voice, the moment she recognized who's voice it had belonged to she was face to face with none other than Naruto Uzumaki.
She smiled nervously and asked:
"Hey Naruto long-time-no-see? Did you go somewhere?"
Naruto grinned and replied confidentially:
"Actually I did, in fact I was pretty excited to get back home."
Tenten seemed curious and interested at this comment and asked:
"Back? Where did you come from?"
Naruto grinned and said playfully with a smirk:
"I'd tell you Tenten but I'd have to kill you."
Tenten smirked and moved closer to Naruto, leaning toward Naruto to show off some of her cleavage as she asked in a flirting voice:
"Is that so?"
Tsunade coughed slightly to notion she was still here as she muttered:
"Tenten... Paperwork..."
Tenten jumped and her eyes widened in realization, her face shifting to a texture of dark crimson due to embaressment as she said:
"Sorry Lady Hokage right away! So I'll see you around Naruto?"
Naruto grinned and winked at her as he replied:
"Definately, believe it."
Tenten smiled and raced toward Shizune's current location as she couldn't help but notice how much his boyish charms outlined his developed masculine features, Tenten was going to have another night of romantic fantasies involving her whiskered, blond haired friend, because no matter how well defined or well developed of a woman she had become externally she was essentially a loving child internally, because no matter how old she grew, and no matter how sharp her skills of a Shinobi became, she would always hold that big piece of her childhood close to her heart, if only she knew where her heart would lead her next...
A/N: Yes a weird chapter I know, but a continuation none-the-less, I made some really strange developments and to some it may appear as though my writing is rushed but that will not be the case, it'll all flow together don't you worry. Recently I've decided on making this story a Naruto / Tenten pairing because I haven't gone that far with this pairing and I really enjoy writing with her character, the one thing men tend to do is underestimate Tenten's strength which is odviously a grave mistake. Anyway I had no plans past what I've previously written so like then it's all freestyle from here on out. Anyway as always please REVIEW if you care!
Peace! - DemonicLove555
