A/N: Those that want a quick one shot to read I have uploaded one (though it's angsty hehe) if you want to read it check for "You have been warned"
kikyouhater118: Hmm…I don't know, maybe
VFSNAKE: Hehe she didn't want to tell, she was forced by a interrogation jutsu…but I will see what will happen, as for the scrolls you need to see what happens
Hikory: It's a good idea with the Hyuuga team but…we will see
RasenganFin: (smile) I think I will tell everyone what the first phase of the bloodline does…
Link Fangirl01: What if I say 'Demon's Imperial Blessing' because I can't cut the Imperial out…as for the rest it is like that because it is a curse and a blessing at the same time but that will be told later on why…
vnvanman: What? Gaara can have some fun (hehe) also no war declaring yet…oh yeah and I think I know how Gaara and … will play in the sandbox (evil laughter)
noone cares enough: Huh? You will break my hands? Then how will I write this stuff them? (Hmm…I never tried writing with my legs, I wonder if I can…)
Seiryu Suzaku Byakko Genbu: Well I decided that for Itachi and Kisame to have a little talk but they won't say why they became missing-nin and Itachi won't say why he killed the clan so I can leave people pondering on the answer (god I just hope that my idea on the massacre hasn't been used before)
Goatis: Very observant, indeed it is connected to the fox and it will be. Sakura knew of the scrolls because she was in the same room, she never left the room when Tsunade showed Sasuke and Neji their scrolls, as for parents telling the children there are some that broke the law, but there are those that did not. And for Itachi and Kisame they won't arrive in time, someone else will have fun with the Hyuuga's.
rhunter42dragon: Can't say who will go or why they won't…
Dragon Man 180: Thanks, I'm surprised I managed to describe it well, I suck when it comes to describing cloths…
grumpywinter: I like the idea of Naruto how to use the sand, I will try it but unfortunately Naruto is the only anime I saw, but I can imagine what you meant and I will give it my best shot (smile)
Reimei Yume: (backs off slowly) hehe, sorry… (Maybe I should rethink about what I say before I say or I will die young)
Hinata-sama209: Hehe, when I will say that Gaara raises his eyebrows think of the imaginary ones (lol)
escape5: Well a story needs a good plot, but the story would be even better if it has a side plot that in the near future will interfere with the main plot and will unleash something…
A/N: Ok I like that people like the story, and I enjoy writing it, also continue voting for the name of the bloodline.
A. akki-chouon ('Imperial Demon blessing'): 2
B. akki-goon ('Demon's blessing of kindness'):
C. akki-goriyaku ('Demon's Divine favor'): 1
D. akki-tenkei ('Demon's Heavenly Gift'): 3
E. akki-tenpuku (same as Tenkei): 1
A/N: Also…umm…sometime in the future Orochimaru will come in…and a second side plot will be made…
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto…but I own my imagination
Gaara's pupil…
----Konoha, Hyuuga compound----
Hiashi and the elders called forth ten of the most loyal branch members. Now you might be thinking why they are so loyal, Hiashi ever since he was put as head of the clan selected ten branch members that where moved into the head family and treated likewise even though they had the caged bird seal on them. The Hyuuga elders thought that if they do this then they will have ten loyal members that can be thrown in 'the heat of a battle' without worries that they will die, because they are of the branch family and they where right. The ten summoned where loyal and respected every order without second thought's they where also ranked from Jounin to ANBU which made the elders and the head of the clan more happy. They would not die and the mission would be a success, in the years they gained respect for Hiashi and never questioned him, at least nine of them.
One of them, a girl by the name of Hoshi Hyuuga never did respect Hiashi even though she did not show it. After her wife had died she would always see how he treated his daughter and she was disgusted, all her respect for the man dropped day by day whenever she saw what he was doing to her. But nonetheless she was afraid to intervene because of the seal she had on her forehead, she tried once to talk with the other nine but they became what a young blonde boy used to say 'stuck-up snobs'. Hoshi is a young woman in her early 20's, she has long black hair, the face of a young woman and of course the same eyes as any Hyuuga. She is 1'60" in height, thin but not because she held a diet, it was her figure. She is one of the most respected ANBU members, wearing a falcon mask, and a katana on her back, she also wore the usually ANBU clothing. Out of the remaining nine only three more where ANBU but they weren't on the same team.
Today they were called in the elder council room in the Hyuuga compound, it was something important from what they heard. They where standing in front of the elders. They bowed to them and turned to listen carefully. They where all smirking at the ten present in the room, Hoshi felt like she wouldn't like what was coming.
"Now you might be wondering why we called you here." said Hiashi in a coolly tone
For an unknown reason Hoshi started to sweat a little.
"Now you all know what happened a few days ago with the Uchiha incident right?" asked an elder and the group nodded.
"We have just found out that Team 7, 8, 10 and Gai have left yesterday with the Hokage and the Toad sannin to deliver scrolls to Suna." said another
"We cannot accept this." said Hiashi. "We will not accept it for the single fact that the demon is in Suna"
"You mean that Uzumaki boy?" asked one of the ten, a male called Uruya Hyuuga
"Precisely…" responded Hiashi smiling
"What do you want us to do?" asked Hajin Hyuuga another male of the ten present
"You all hate the Kyuubi for killing someone in your life am I right?" asked an elder and everyone nodded.
"Good because your mission is to go to Suna, kill the demon and bring back Hinata so we can brand her with the caged bird seal for her treason." said Hiashi coldly
"So that is what he wants" thought Hoshi. She had a problem with Kyuubi, for killing her brother, but she didn't have a problem with the boy, she knew the difference between a container and a contained.
"Also we want you to attack the team heading to Suna and steal the scrolls, I want for someone out of you to create a distraction while the others steal the scrolls when they are busy with the distraction, I want you all to wear masks to hide your identity. Take these masks." Hiashi revealed 10 masks on the table. "These are special masks that will hide your faces from both Byakugan and Sharingan. I also want you to try and not use the Hyuuga stance as much as possible, and finally if my daughter doesn't want to come on her own, you make her." finished Hiashi glaring and spiting when he referred to the young girl.
The group was dismissed, they took their masks and left for the mission. Hiashi and the elders where laughing at their future success, but will it be?
On the way to the North gate one of the ten Hyuuga's was pondering on the mission. "So that cold bastard not only wants to kill Uzumaki, but he wants to put the caged bird seal on his first daughter and he also wants us to steal from the Hokage." Hoshi thought. She never did like Hiashi, even thought she was never treated like a branch member. He always wanted to help the poor girl or the boy but she was afraid of the repercussions, they could have always activated the seal on her head and finish her in one blow. But now…she was heading to Suna, where Uzumaki Naruto was, she heard of his gift to Hyuuga Neji and ever since then she started thinking if she could get the seal of her. She smiled behind her mask, she was going to ditch the team, alert the Hokage first and then alert the boy. With some luck he would free her from the curse that she has on her head.
----Grass country, unknown field----
"So that is why the mission was never finished." said Itachi
"Correct, it is degrading for someone of the 7 swordsmen (A/N: there are 7 right?) to do such a thing…" responded Kisame
"I can see what you mean, to do such a thing would have made anyone lower than trash."
"You have no idea…" responded Kisame angrily "After all we have done I can't believe he wanted us to do that!" yelled Kisame in frustration
"Well like someone used to say, look underneath the underneath." relied and emotionless Itachi
"Quoting Hatake now are we…"
"Well in one way or another he was right, no one looked as to why I killed my clan they just thought that I lost my minds…" Itachi started to laugh "me to lose my minds, a bunch of idiots." spat the Uchiha
"Yeah, and no one cared why I became a missing-nin with Zabuza." said Kisame "too bad Zabuza is dead, he would have loved to have some fun right about now."
Itachi nodded, he heard about the Demon of the Mist, Momochi Zabuza and he held some respect for the man and his ways of killing.
"You know, now that he is dead there are only 6 of you left."
"I know Itachi-san…but that doesn't mean that I will start sulking."
"That is the last thing I need now Kisame, remember we need to stay focused at the task at hand."
"How will we talk with the brat?" asked Kisame "I mean it's not like he would listen to us."
"I know, but we will find a way, and we will make him listen, after that everything will be clear for him."
"What about the Akatsuki? Do they suspect anything?"
"No idea whatsoever. But we need to keep a low profile, we don't want to expose ourselves until we find the brat."
Kisame nodded understanding. "I wonder how the leader will react when he finds about this."
"Like I give a damn about him." said Itachi coldly. "It's a good thing that when we went after the boy and tried to take him Jiraiya came, after what I heard that they want the bijuu's for I was starting to fear that they might succeed."
"Well they won't now, they know that we are going after Kyuubi, what they don't know is what we are actually planning."
"Yes…"
----Suna----
It was a bright day in Suna, everyone was enjoying the new day, well almost everyone. Naruto and Hinata started their work today, they needed to guard Gaara from the shadows and make sure no harm came to him. Right now the sand siblings where standing in front of three tables that had weapons on them. The new gennin's where to pick who they would train under. Gaara was looking with his coldness in his eyes.
"Gaara, smile! smile! If you have that sour look no one will pick you." said Temari (A/N: Yes the filler episode, but I won't put anyone on Gaara's back so those 5 from the filler won't attack, sorry but I don't want to write that even though it would be changed)
The red haired boy didn't even look at her sister. He just stared at the kids in front of him, and then everyone headed towards Temari and Kankuro, all except one.
Gaara who had his eyes closed, heard someone approach him, he opened his eyes and saw a girl with short brown hair and black eyes. She was wearing a light yellow cloth around her neck, a sleeveless shirt, on top of the shirt was a blue blouse. She was wearing a skirt (A/N: I think it was a skirt) that stopped above the knees.
"Your ok with me?" asked Gaara in a monotone voice
"Please!" she said, as the tradition said the pupil had to ask the master for acceptance to be trained.
Temari and Kankuro looked at their sibling smiling, unknown to them Naruto that was on top of a building nearby was also smiling under his hood. He decided on wearing the cape he had bought when heading to Suna.
The girl was standing in front of a table that had a few weapons left, Gaara approached her from behind and positioned himself near her.
"You name?" he asked
"Matsuri." responded the girl
"Matsuri, pick a weapon." she looked at the weapons, there was a club, a sword and a weapon called jouhyou. The girl after much hesitation picked the club but she was unable to hold it. She asked Gaara for help. The red haired boy looked on the table and picked the jouhyou.
"This weapon is called a jouhyou."
"Jouhyou?"
Gaara jumped away from the table with the weapon in his hand and landed a few feet in front of it, he held the end of the string (A/N: Or what it was lol) and started swinging the weapon so fast it became a blur except for a red tint that where some feathers attached to the weapon.
"The teeth at the end of the string are not so much for attacking." said Gaara while swinging the weapon. "More they are used from preventing the enemy from getting to close, and with the rope to render them unable to attack." he finished and launched the weapon towards a post and it started wrapping itself around the post.
"Practice with this weapon until you feel it is a part of you." said Gaara handing the wire to Matsuri.
"Hai."
For the next hours the girl trained with the weapon but she didn't manage to succeed in her training. When the end of the weapon dropped near her she was startled, Gaara saw this. He went and picked up the weapon and asked her what was wrong, she explained to him that her parents where killed by weapons. Gaara stood and explained to her what he had learned from Naruto about friendship, he told her why he protected his teammates when he attacked Konoha. He then left leaving the girl to train on her own.
Gaara was walking down the streets of Suna, he saw his siblings with the other children, somehow he was glad that someone from the village wanted to be trained under him, and Naruto of course was an exception due to the fact that he was his friend. He didn't except anyone from the village to come to him and ask for training. He felt good, he was progressing once again with everyone in the village.
A figure dropped near him, he wore a light brown cape and his hood was over his head.
"So how does it feel?"
"How does what feel?" asked Gaara
"You know to have someone to train apart from me." asked Naruto
"Good, I'm progressing around here…"
"Yeah that I can see, listen I wanted to ask you something."
Gaara turned towards Naruto. "What?"
"Is there any way I can carry sand without using a gourd behind my back?"
Gaara stood and pondered, he never gave much thought to that because he was used to carry the gourd all the time, he looked at Naruto and shrugged. The blonde boy frowned, he wanted to learn to use the sand but he wanted to use it in another way not by carrying a gourd on his back all the time. He sighed and waved goodbye to Gaara and disappeared, the red haired boy decided to turn back and watch over his pupil.
----2 days till Suna, on the road----
The team from Konoha was advancing at a fast pace, they decided it would be better if they went a little more fast than before, that way they could reach Suna faster and safer. The road was full of bandits, they needed to be careful.
One of the members was now eager to reach Suna, Sakura decided she will apologize and worn Naruto of what her mother did, she hoped the blonde boy will forgive her for what she had done in the past years to him, she now felt sorry and wished she could repair all this.
"Hokage-sama, when do you think we will arrive?" asked Sakura
"In two days, hopefully one if we maintain the pace." responded the Hokage
Then they heard someone snicker, they looked and saw Kiba snickering. "What was that about? asked Neji
"Oh I just remembered when Naruto used to do the Sexy Jutsu at Iruka-sensei…" responded the boy
There where some that didn't understand but those that where always punished and had to stay after hours, meaning Kiba, Chouji and Shikamaru knew what it was about, he always used that method to get rid of Iruka so they can escape, he used in during hours too but not that often.
The blonde boy had a lot of ways to escape detention, he would always find something else to make Iruka drop unconscious or just to drop on the floor. One incident was when he cut the legs of the chair a little to make it unstable, when Iruka sat down the chair broke and Iruka fell on the ground, before he could get up they ran out the window.
Another time he used series of traps, a bucket full of clay, feathers, and then some stink bombs that no one knew from where he got them. Those bombs used to drive anyone unconscious, the group always had to wear something on their faces or plug their noses so they won't smell the bomb.
There where many other ways, the rookies smiled remembering everything he had done in the academy, it was the best memories of him they had, he always made them smile and laugh even when things seemed to be down.
----Somewhere in the forest----
The team sent from the Hyuuga compound was speeding through the forest, they decided to kill the boy first and grab the girl then lastly ambush the Hokage's team and steal the scrolls and head back to Konoha.
They agreed but unknown to them one of them planned behind their backs. Hoshi who was behind the group made a Kage Bushin and switched places with it, the bushin would follow the team and act like her so they won't suspect anything, while she will go and warn not the Hokage but the blonde boy. She dropped on the ground and waited a little for the team to advance then she started speeding again but using another way so she won't bump into the team.
"Alright so first I warn the boy, then hopefully I get to warn the girl before it's too late." she thought. "Lastly I will go and warn the Hokage and then return and ask for him to remove the seal, hopefully he will."
She silently prayed he will remove her seal, she didn't want to live a life like this, now that she betrayed the Hyuuga clan she would run into the world and find something else to do, she would become a missing-nin but she didn't care, all she cared was for her to be free from that place.
She felt sorry that she couldn't convince the team to follow her way and help the boy, they suspected that she would betray them but she assured them that won't happen. They are a bunch of fools, just like the rest of the Hyuuga clan, the only ones wise are Neji and Hinata in her opinion, also it there where two more in the Hyuuga wise but they died, those persons where Hinata's mother and Neji's father, Hizashi.
She cleared her mind and focused at her new task and pumped more chakra to gain more speed, hopefully she would leave the team way behind her.
----Suna----
Naruto and Hinata where on the roofs watching Gaara, Gaara was watching Matsuri train and giving her pointers, she started to get the hang of it and she wasn't scared around Gaara anymore, she found out that he is a good person despite what most people said.
"Looks like Gaara has an admirer." said Hinata giggling.
"Oh? Who? Where?" asked Naruto looking around and Hinata giggled at his antics.
"Naruto-kun, I believe Matsuri respects Gaara highly and admires him."
"I knew that." pouted Naruto
Hinata giggled again at him and focused on Gaara again. While she was looking at him Naruto was having a though time again, his eyes started to hurt again but this time even harder. He rubbed his eyes and drank some water. It was getting annoying once again.
"Why in the 9 hell's do I have to go through this pain?" yelled Naruto in his mind
"What? You don't like it?" Kyuubi asked sarcastically.
"Ha ha ha, very funny."
"Well you should know that I am funny." said Kyuubi
"Yeah, anyway did you find out anything over the night?"
"Yes I did and I am amazed, I think I influenced you too much or the Kami's decided that you deserve this bloodline." said Kyuubi with a serious tone
"And what is this bloodline?" asked the blonde boy raising an eyebrow
"I can't tell you the name yet, and not much about it but I can tell you that it's powerful and usually only demons and half-demons are allowed to wield it."
"Then how come I have it?" asked Naruto this time really puzzled
"Like I said, eighter I influenced you too much with my chakra especially at the fight you had with the Uchiha, eighter the Kami's decided that you are worthy of having it, and if you are then you will be the first mortal to gain it."
Naruto smiled, a bloodline no one has ever had, he couldn't wait. Suddenly the pain stopped, he thought that maybe Kyuubi managed to do something to stop it or the change of DNA was done and he will have his bloodline soon.
"How do I activate it?"
"Won't tell…"
"WHAT?" yelled Naruto infuriated.
"I won't because you need to figure it out yourself, the process is done and the bloodline is now dormant, you need to find out how to activate it, it's like a test where you are the teacher and the pupil. Good luck." said Kyuubi and then broke all communication with Naruto to go back to sleep.
The blonde boy started mumbling something about unfair foxes and unfair way to activate bloodlines.
Down on the fields Matsuri had managed to wrap the wire around the post. Gaara nodded to her and she smiled.
"Alright, you done well."
"Thank you Gaara-sensei." she said
"Please no sensei, I am Gaara."
"Hai."
"Now…" started Gaara "Lets go and celebrate, my treat." he said as he started walking away. The girl was stunned she never thought that Gaara, the Subaku no Gaara who was feared by many and was the weapon of Sunagakure would treat someone to lunch. She shook it away and started following him putting the weapon in her pocked (A/N: remember from the filler, it's small and fits in a pocket, the perfect weapon hehe)
Naruto and Hinata watched as the two left, they looked at the sun, their body guard duty was over, and it was past noon already. Naruto stood up and offered a hand to Hinata who took it gladly.
"Care to join me for lunch?" he asked
"Sure."
"Alright! Lets go find some ramen!" he yelled as he started to pull the girl after him
----Border of Grass and Wind----
Two clocked figures with red moons on them and straw hats on their heads passed the border unseen, they where getting close to Suna.
"So what do we do now Itachi-san?" asked Kisame
"We will need to stop in a nearby cave and wait a few days."
"Why is that?"
"Deidara is approaching." responded Itachi
----Suna, 10PM----
Naruto was watching from the roofs a strange individual. He was the head of the defense in Suna, his name was Yuura but he didn't like this person not one bit, something about him was fishy, the way he acted, the way he talked. He was planning something.
He looked and saw him enter the Kazekage's office, he looked through the window to see what Yuura was doing. The man was looking through some papers quietly. Then when it seems that he had found something he started to copy them. Naruto was not sure what he was copying, he would have jumped and attacked but Kyuubi told him to wait and follow him to see who he was working for.
Yuura left the office and the building, Naruto was following him closely. He arrived at his home and entered. Naruto stood out for about 4 hours and it seemed that Yuura was sleeping.
"Interesting…" whispered Naruto to himself, he them left, that man didn't contact anyone yet, that means he must be gathering more information. He will keep an eye on him.
----On the way to Suna, Team Hokage----
Team Hokage had stopped for the night in a village on the way to Suna to rest, no one could rest thought, they where to anxious to get to Suna and see their two friends from Konoha. Because of this many where out trying to enjoy the night and forget their worries while other stayed in their hotel rooms to think.
One such person was Sasuke Uchiha, he was lying down on his bed and thinking of how to apologize to Naruto for what he has done, he was thinking of maybe offering him to train him a little with the Uchiha jutsu's while he was in Suna, but he knew that braiding him would be a waste of time and would only make him look like and idiot. He considered that the best way to do it is to hand him the scrolls and tell him his sorry, but he was afraid what would happen if Naruto didn't accept his sorry's. What would happen if he just turned his back at him and told him to scram. This was the one thing that scared Sasuke at the moment, the idea that his teammate won't forgive him.
Another person was Haruno Sakura, she was looking out the window thinking what to say to him. She knew the way she treated him and felt sorry not wanting to repeat that but it was now to late, he was a missing-nin and he could never return to Konoha, life would never be the same anymore and it was her fault. She also didn't know how to tell him about his mother and what she had done, she knew that now her mother would do something to him, she would talk to the council or assign assassins to kill Naruto. She didn't know what to do and to make it worse she was afraid to tell the rest of the team. She was afraid of what they might do to her that she might lose her last friends as well. Tears started to drop from her eyes as she crashed on her knees and started sobbing.
Hyuuga Neji was looking at the scroll he took from Naruto's house, he said he would personally give it to him, it would have been more safe that way. He was intrigued as to what the jutsu would do, also he was curious where he found it. He was reflecting on the past he had, it wasn't much to think about, he reflected at how he was with Naruto, the only time when he started to be friends with him was after the Chunnin exams, after he showed him the right way, he now understood everything about Naruto, the way he was treated, how sad he was, and now he understood what he meant by the fact that he isn't the only one with a burden that there is someone else with a bigger one. He felt sorry for not believing that, he was blinded by rage back then. He also wanted to see Hinata, and how she was doing, he knew Naruto would look after her, he is not a bad person and he knew that she will be happier with her, everyone knows her crush on the boy, everyone except him. Or at least that is what everyone thought since they didn't see him for a week already.
The last person that wasn't out enjoying himself was Kiba, he didn't know how to tell Naruto that his clan was part for his missing-nin status, he hated his mother for what he did and hated her even more for making Hinata a missing-nin as well. It's true Kiba was a little attracted to her but he knew her crush and knew he wouldn't be with her, not even now especially. But he felt happy knowing that she was with Naruto, he knew that Naruto would look after him, he said that he will always protect a precious person and Hinata being one he would protect her till the end.
----Sound village, secret bunker----
"Kabuto!" yelled an infuriated Orochimaru
"Yes Orochimaru-sama?" asked the silver haired man with glasses.
"Do you know what happened to my future vessel? Why isn't Sasuke here yet? And where are those damned sound four?" he yelled in exasperation
"Unfortunately the sound four are dead sir."
"What?" roared Orochimaru
"Yes, it seems Tsunade sent some people to track down Sasuke, the slowly killed everyone of the sound four even Kimimaro and then the Kyuubi kid knocked Sasuke out and took him back to Konoha. I also heard that they removed the curse seal from his neck."
"How is that possible?!?" yelled Orochimaru throwing stuff around. "Who did that?"
"It seems that Uzumaki had found a way to take the seal of Sasuke."
"That boy…" said Orochimaru with a deadly voice. "I will make him suffer." he said adding venom in his voice. "I will have my new body and nothing will stop me!" yelled Orochimaru as hard as he could. "I will kill that brat!"
----Unknown cavern, unknown location----
A tall figure was standing in his chair looking at the person in front of him. The person wore the Akatsuki robe, he looked old and had a mask over his face, he also had a metallic tail behind him.
"So…did Deidara leave?" asked the man from behind is desk
"Yes Leader-sama, he is on his way to Suna as we speak."
"Very good Sasori." replied the leader. Then a woman with blue hair and a white flower in her hair appeared next to the leader.
"Sasori." said the woman. "Do you know where Kakuzo and Hidan are?"
"Yes, they are tracking the Nibi, so far they didn't find her but they said that once they do they will report." responded Sasori
"Good, and Zetsu?" asked the woman again
"He is looking for the Sanbi."
"And where is Tobi then?"
"Tobi is around the base, doing he knows what." responded Sasori, the woman nodded and so did the leader
"Do you know where are Itachi and Kisame?" asked the leader
"From what I know they are in the Grass Country heading towards the Fire and Konoha to try and capture the Kyuubi again." replied Sasori
"Excellent." said the leader. "Sasori, till Deidara returns I want you to train, once we find out about Suna's defenses we will strike."
"Yes leader." said Sasori, he bowed and left.
The leader and the woman smiled evilly. "It has begun." said the leader
