In the Hokage's office Lord Hokage was relaxing and we came into the office.
Me: Knights of The New Fire reporting for duty Lord Hokage.
We saluted him.
Lord 3rd: At ease. Now I have a C-Rank escort mission for you all. You can come in now.
The door opened and in came Tazuna from the Land of Waves.
Tazuna: These are the... (Sees me and Naruto) Well aren't you both a sight for sore eyes. It's good to see you again J.D., Naruto.
Me: You too Tazuna.
Naruto: It's been a while you old drunk.
Lord 3rd: How is it that you two know Tazuna?
Me: We had to do most of our training away from the village because our powers are highly destructive and they can cause a lot of damage. So to avoid having people get hurt we had to train away from the village.
Naruto: Better to be safe than sorry Sarutobi-sensei.
Lord 3rd: Ah good thinking and yes from what you've told me in your training progress you're right about that.
Me: Yes. We met Tazuna on one of our training excursions and we saw him being harassed by some fucking bandits. Those shitholes were harassing him and we killed them and saved his life.
Tazuna: That's right. You both have an amazing talent.
Me: Yes. So what brings you to the Leaf, Tazuna?
Tazuna: I'm afraid the news isn't good J.D. The Land of Waves is under the control of the tyrannical oppression of Gato.
Akiko: Gato of Gato Shipping and Transport?
Lord 3rd: Hmm. From what I remember he's one of the richest Shipping magnates in all of the 5 Great Nations.
Tazuna: Yes but that's just a front for his true operation. He's really one of the meanest crime lords in all of the criminal underworld. He took complete control of the Land of Waves and the shipping routes and has been taxing the entirety of the village dry. He's a ruthless tyrant and he's also imprisoning our villages women to sell on the market. To make things worse, he killed my son in law Kaiza.
We gasped.
Tazuna: Kaiza tried to stand up to him but Gato killed him in front of everyone and robbed us of all of our hope and courage. He demoralized the people and made us powerless against him. My grandson Inari was changed as a result. Gato has the Land of Waves completely under his rule of fear. I'm building the bridge to connect the Land to the mainland and it will stop his operation. But Gato has even hired Rogue Ninjas to try and kill me. We only had enough money to afford a C-Rank Mission and we had to bankrupt our entire treasury to afford it. I came here to get help because it was closest.
Lord 3rd: This is a very serious matter Tazuna. This is a B to low S-Rank and it's very dangerous.
Me: And the Knights of The New Fire will answer.
Tazuna had a look of happiness on his face.
Me: Tazuna we would never abandon a friend in need. We helped save you from bandits and now we will answer the Land of Waves call for help. Swords in!
We unsheathed our swords and said our oath.
Knights: WHEN HOPE IS LOST, FIRE WILL REKINDLE IT. WHEN LOVE IS REPLACED BY HATE, FIRE WILL REIGNITE IT. ALL EVIL SHALL KNOW THE PAIN OF FIRE. THE KNIGHTS OF THE NEW FIRE SHALL SAVE ALL!
Tazuna was amazed by our oath.
Tazuna: Thank you so much guys! Our land would owe you big time.
Lord 3rd: I know you all can do it. Be careful out there guys. Also I think you'll love this too.
Kushina came in and she was in her Jonin uniform.
Naruto: Wow. Mom you look amazing in a Jonin Uniform.
Kushina: Thanks sweetie. It feels great to get back into the field you know.
Lord 3rd: (Laughs) It's good to have you back in the ranks Kushina.
Tazuna: Kushina Uzumaki!? You're all right!
Kushina: Beer-gorger Tazuna. Its been a while.
They hugged.
Me: I didn't know you two knew each other Kushina.
Kushina: Tazuna is a good friend of mine. We go way back.
Me: I believe it.
Kushina: Yeah. Meet at the gates in 20 minutes.
Me: Yes ma'am.
We did so and Naruto went to the weapons shop and got an unexpected surprise from it. We had everything ready and we were all set.
Me: All right. Are we all set?
Kushina: I'm ready ya know.
Me: All right. Once we go out there we have to be ready for anything and always stay on the alert.
Rin: We're with you all the way J.D.
Me: Okay. Knights of The New Fire lets move out!
We were on our way to the Land of Waves. We were walking down a path to the Land of Waves and we were on the alert for bandits.
Sakura: Nothing yet.
Me: Lets hope it stays that way.
We continued walking and then we saw something unusual in the road.
Me: Wait. This doesn't make sense. Those puddles are not supposed to be here.
Naruto: I feel it. LIGHT STYLE: RAINBOW DRAGON!
Naruto sent a dragon made of rainbow light at the puddles and it hit them and exploded.
KABOOM!
Out of the smoke and fire came the Demon Brothers - Gozu and Meizu.
Me: The fuckface Demon Brothers - Gozu and Meizu.
Rin: I got this.
Rin threw a fireball at them and ignited them and they screamed in pain as they were burning. I fired a blast of energy and vaporized them. All that was left of them were their severed heads and weapons.
Me: Serves those assholes right.
Naruto sealed the heads and weapons into scrolls.
Ami: What are you doing Naruto?
Naruto: There's a bounty on their heads and a bonus goes with it when including their weapons.
Me: Good thinking bro. Those fucks were no match for the Knights of The New Fire.
Akiko: No they weren't.
Me: You were right Tazuna. Gato did hire Rogue Ninjas to do most of his dirty work. And if he hired the Demon Brothers then that means that he has hired Zabuza as well. That fucking midget fuckhead will never touch another gold coin by the time we're done with him. Lets go.
We pressed on and got to a boat in the water.
Boatman: Tazuna. Glad you're safe.
Tazuna: Thanks to the ninja I brought with me.
Me: We are the Knights of The New Fire. We've come to kill Gato.
Boatman: Thank you so much. Lets go.
We went onto the water and we went under a huge bridge and it was a breathtaking marvel.
Me: (Whispering) Is that the bridge you're building Tazuna?
Tazuna: (Whispering) It sure is. Isn't she a beaut?
Naruto: (Whispering) It sure is.
They got to shore and went through a forest.
Me: Wait. I sense two Chakra signals up ahead.
Kushina: I feel it too. One is of Jonin Level power and the other is of Chunin Level strength.
Rin: I can feel it too.
Me: Let me see here.
I concentrated and found the signals and then I heard rustling in the bushes.
Naruto went over and pulled out a little white rabbit.
Naruto: It's Haku's white rabbit.
Sakura: He's so cute.
Haruna: He sure is.
I heard a whooshing sound coming towards us.
Me: Hit the dirt!
We ducked and a huge sword flew over us and imbedded into a nearby tree. Standing on the handle was Zabuza Momochi the Demon of The Mist.
Zabuza: Well I might've known the bridge builder was... (Sees me and laughs) Well I don't believe it. J.D. Knudson and Naruto Uzumaki! I didn't expect to see you here.
Me: You sure know how to make a scary entrance Zabuza. But it's good to see you again.
Zabuza: You too J.D.
Naruto: So Gato hired you as well huh?
Zabuza: He sure did Naruto.
Sakura: How do you guys know Zabuza?
Me: During our training trip away from the village, we saved him and Haku from Hunter Ninjas.
Naruto: That's right.
Haku came out.
Haku: That's right. It's good to see you again J.D., Naruto.
Me: You too Haku. How have you been?
Haku: I've been doing good.
Me: That's good. We are now a group called The Knights of The New Fire. I'm the leader of the group.
Naruto: I'm the second in command.
Zabuza: You are an extraordinary group.
Me: It's a long story.
Haku: Who are the rest?
Sakura: Oh sorry. I'm Sakura Uzumaki Namikaze. I was formerly a member of the Haruno Clan.
Naruto: Sakura has a dark story. It was mostly due to the corruption of the Leaf Civilian Council.
Zabuza: Ah. I'm sorry.
Sakura: It's okay.
Haruna: I'm Haruna Uchiha.
Satsuki: And I'm Satsuki Uchiha.
Haruna & Satsuki: We're the twins of the Black Fire.
Haku: I heard that the Uchiha Clan was killed all in one night.
Me: That's right. Because of the Council's corruption Itachi Uchiha was forced to kill the entirety of the clan against his will. We got Haruna, Satsuki and their mother Mikoto out of there.
Zabuza: Your village is having a lot of corruption problems.
Me: Tell me about it. Those fuckheads are causing so many problems that they have taken too much power from the Hokage and we need to stop them.
Haku: That is not right.
Me: No it is not.
Akiko: I'm Akiko Suzuki the Maiden of the Nebula.
Ami: I'm Ami Mitarashi the Inferno Cobra Swordmistress.
Yugito: I'm Yugito Nii the 2-Tails Jinchuriki.
Yakumo: I'm Yakumo Kurama the Phantom Illusion.
Natsumi: I'm Natsumi but you know me as something else.
Rin: And I'm Rin Nohara the Phoenix Angel and Veteran of the 3rd Great War.
Me: It's a long story with Rin as well.
Zabuza: Pleasure to meet you all.
Me: We have a message that we would like you to deliver to Gato.
Zabuza: Okay.
Me: Tell him that The Knights of The New Fire will kill him and rain Fire and Brimstone on his greedy tyrannical fucking shitkicking ass and make him pay with his life burning in the sea of fire in Hell.
Zabuza: I'll be sure he gets the message.
Me: Okay.
Naruto: Shall we have a spar like old times Zabuza?
Zabuza: (Laughs) You know it kid.
Naruto: I have a new toy I've been wanting to try out.
Naruto held his arm out and unsealed something. He had in his hand a trident and Kushina and Sakura instantly recognized it.
Kushina: (Shocked) It! It can't be!
Sakura: That trident! It's the Nejibana!
Akiko: I thought it was just a legend.
Me: Incredible!
Ami: What is the Nejibana?
Sakura: The Nejibana, a legendary weapon of the Uzumaki Clan, it's said that only an Uzumaki pure of heart can wield it and use it to it's full potential, it grants the wielder the power of the seas, the ability to cause earthquakes and let's the wielder breathe underwater, it's said to be indestructible and legend has it that the Nejibana was blessed by the sea god, Poseidon himself.
Me: (Shocked) Unbelievable!
Kushina: It's one of 7 weapons that belong to our clan.
Naruto: Lets dance Zabuza.
He went at Zabuza and swiped the Nejibana and a huge wave of water came and slammed into him and pushed him back and Naruto and Zabuza clashed and sparks were flying everywhere. Naruto was fairing really well against him.
Naruto backed away.
Naruto: LIGHT STYLE NINJA ART: RED RIBBON WHIP!
Naruto sent 2 bands of red light and they lashed at Zabuza but he dodged them all and he then went through hand signs of his own.
Naruto: LIGHT STYLE: RAINBOW DRAGON!
Zabuza: WATER STYLE: WATER DRAGON!
The dragons collided and exploded with incredible power.
KRABOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
The power of the shockwave from the explosion was incredible.
Me: Wow! What power!
Sakura: Incredible!
Tazuna: That was amazing.
Kushina: It sure was.
Naruto kicked him in the face and sent him skidding on the water.
Naruto: WATER STYLE: WATER DRAGON!
He sent a water dragon at Zabuza and it hit him and sent him flying and he crashed into a tree.
Zabuza was on the ground and he was beaten.
Zabuza: Impressive kid. J.D. taught you really well.
Naruto: Thanks Zabuza. We'll see you in a week okay?
Zabuza: Will do. Haku we're going.
Haku came and got Zabuza.
Haku: See you around Naruto.
Naruto: Will do Haku.
They left and Naruto regrouped with us.
Me: That was well done bro.
Naruto: Thanks big bro.
Sakura: How far are we to your house Tazuna?
Tazuna: Half a mile. (Points to a hill) It's over that hill.
Me: Tazuna I promise that little midget tyrant fuckface will pay dearly for everything he has done to the Wave. The Knights of The New Fire will never let any evil deed go unpunished.
Tazuna: Thank you so much J.D.
Me: You're welcome.
We then arrived at Tazuna's house.
Tazuna: Here we are. (Opens the door and we walk in) Tsunami I'm home!
Tsunami came.
Tsunami: I'm glad you're safe father.
Tazuna: Thanks to these brave ninja here.
Me: Hey Tsunami.
Naruto: It's great to see you again.
Tsunami: (Gasps) J.D., Naruto! It's great to see you too!
Me: You too Tsunami.
Naruto: We heard whats been going on and we came to help you deal with Gato for good.
Me: We are known as the Knights of The New Fire and our big mission is to eradicate all the evil in this world.
Sakura: That's right.
Me: Oh I'm sorry. We haven't introduced our friends and teammates.
Sakura: I'm Sakura Uzumaki Namikaze. I was formerly part of the Haruno Clan.
Haruna: I'm Haruna Uchiha.
Satsuki: I'm Satsuki Uchiha.
Haruna & Satsuki: We're twins.
Ami: I'm Ami Mitarashi.
Rin: I'm Rin Nohara.
Yakumo: I'm Yakumo Kurama.
Yugito: I'm Yugito Nii.
Natsumi: I'm Natsumi but you know me as something else.
Akiko: And I'm Akiko Suzuki.
Tsunami: It's an honor to meet all of you. Thank you for answering our call.
Me: You're welcome Tsunami.
At the dinner table we were letting Tsunami know what has been happening.
Tsunami: That's amazing. I'm glad you came back to Naruto, Kushina.
Kushina: Thanks Tsunami. You were no older than 5-years-old when I saw you last.
Tsunami: Feels like forever ago.
Me: It sure does.
Tazuna: J.D. how did you come up with the name of your group?
Me: Well we were originally going to be called Team Fire Angel. But Lord Hokage decided to call us the Knights of The New Fire. We found out from Lady Kami herself that an evil organization of S-Rank Rogue Ninjas is going to destroy the entire planet with the power of the 9 Tailed Beasts.
Tsunami and Tazuna gasped in shock.
Tazuna: Are you serious?
Me: We are.
Sakura: The name of this organization is called Akatsuki and the entire planet is now in grave danger because of them.
Natsumi: That's right. I'm one of their targets. Have you and Tsunami heard of the 9-Tails attack on the Leaf?
Tsunami: We sure have. That was awful.
Natsumi: Yes. I am the 9-Tailed Fox.
Kushina: I was her previous host and a Masked Man ripped her out of me and forced her to go on a rampage against her will.
Naruto: She was under the control of a rogue Uchiha.
Tazuna: But there's only two people that were capable of controlling Tailed Beasts.
Sakura: That's right. They were our village's founding fathers Hashirama Senju our villages 1st Hokage and Madara Uchiha the leader of the Uchiha Clan.
Me: But now we found out that there is a third man. That man is Naruto's fathers student thought to have died in the 3rd Great War: Obito Uchiha.
Tsunami: Oh man. I've heard about him. He was the Hero of The Sharingan. He did so much for the Leaf Village.
Tazuna: But I thought he was dead.
Kushina: That's what we once thought as well.
Me: Lady Kami herself told us that Obito is alive. He was healed by Madara Uchiha who survived his battle with the 1st Hokage somehow and was in hiding. Obito is the true mastermind behind Natsumi's forced rampage. The man we once knew is now gone forever. I never knew Obito, but he's now lost to the darkness.
Tazuna: That's awful.
Rin: Yeah. The man I loved is now a heartless monster hellbent on destroying the entire planet.
Me: Yeah. And we have to stop him at all costs or we have no future.
Tsunami: Well I believe in you guys. You can do it.
Me: Thanks Tsunami.
Kushina: But Naruto one thing still puzzles me. How did you get the Nejibana?
Naruto: I found it at the Higurashi Weapons shop. Tenten's uncle had it on display as a regular rusty pitchfork. But when I picked it up it glowed an ocean blue and turned into the Nejibana.
Me: I never even knew a weapon like this even existed. And there are seven of them?
Sakura: That's right J.D.
Satsuki: What exactly are these weapons?
Tazuna came back with a book.
Tazuna: Here. This'll tell you everything you need to know about them.
Tazuna handed the book to Naruto.
Naruto: Thanks Tazuna.
Naruto scrolled through the book and found the weapons.
Naruto: Here it is. "The Legend of The Weapons of the Uzumaki Clan."
Sakura: Can you read it to us Naruto?
Naruto: Sure. (Reads)
"Over 1,000 years ago, an Uzumaki by the name of Totosai watched as his clan members were being used for slavery,
Young Totosai wanted to bring peace, love and hope to his clan and to others, so he decided to forge 7 magical weapons that could be the backbone for giving the Uzumaki Clan so much hope and courage,
In his 10 years of forging, Totosai made 7 powerful weapons for his clan,
Nejibana, the weapon forged from the fang of the legendary sea monster, the Kraken, it can grant the wielder power over the seas, allows the wielder to breathe underwater, cause earthquakes and is said to be indestructable.
Zangetsu, the weapon forged from a moonstone that fell to earth from the moon, it can grant the wielder the ability to stop major bleeding, can enhance the wielder's strength and speed, the ability to make clones at will to outnumber his/her opponent and grants teleportation powers to the wielder.
Hyorinmaru, the weapon forged from the bones of an Ice Dragon, it grants the wielder enhanced speed and gives it's wielder the ability to generate Ice to freeze and obliterate the enemy into pieces.
Ryujin Jakka, the weapon forged from the ashes of a Phoenix, it grants the wielder complete control over fire, can produce a fire so powerful it can be nearly impossible to cut through and put out, a fire that reduces all creation to ash.
Tessaiga, the weapon forged from the fangs of the king of the Dog Demons, it grants the wielder the ability to slay 1000 lives in one swing, it also has other abilities that the wielder needs to discover.
Tenseiga, the weapon forged from the blood of an Archangel losing blood while fighting a demon, it grants the wielder the ability to save 1000 lives in one swing, purify the cursed and heal the sick, even grants the wielder the power to send the most corrupted tyrrants and enemies to the netherworld and can produce a barrier to protect the wielder.
And the most powerful and most terrifying weapon that Totosai ever created.
A weapon forged from the fires of hell, the light of the heavens and the life of the earth, it is a sword called, Mokushiroku, a word that means 'Apocalypse'.
Mokushiroku, it grants the wielder unimaginable power, the ability to alter fate, reality, time and space, and this weapon is the key to the beginning of the Apocalypse, and Totosai communicated with the gods that Mokushiroku would only be used as a last resort, only to be used if it's absolutely nessecary.
The gods agreed that Mokushiroku would be used when it's services would be needed, and Totosai needed to find worthy canidates for these powerful weapons, and he found some in his own clan.
Kaien Uzumaki was given the Nejibana, Ichigo Uzumaki was given Zangetsu, Toshiro Uzumaki was given Hyorinmaru, Genryusai Uzumaki was given Ryujin Jakka, Inuyasha Uzumaki was given Tessaiga and Sesshomaru Uzumaki was given Tenseiga.
The six have fought against the powerful foe that was the mastermind who started the slavery of the Uzumaki Clan, his name is Akuma Shadouu-Oka.
The six warriors were closing in on victory when Akuma suddenly unleashed a powerful beast onto the Elemental Nations, Leviathan.
The six Uzumaki warriors were close to defeat, but Totosai sees this as the perfect moment to use Mokushiroku, he finds a perfect warrior of the Uzumaki Clan to defeat the Leviathan, the name of the worthy Uzumaki is Senso Uzumaki.
With the help of Senso Uzumaki, the other six were able to defeat Leviathan and banished it into the Underworld, hoping that he wouldn't rise again, and Akuma was captured, and the Uzumaki's locked him in a deep dungeon and Akuma was chained to the floor, but the Uzumaki Clan was afraid that Akuma would escape and terrorize them again, so they sealed him away inside a black coffin, never to be opened.
The seven Uzumaki were hailed as heroes, and Totosai was granted the status of Clan Head of the Uzumaki Clan for creating such powerful weapons to save them, he also decided that if Leviathan returns and a evil just a bad as Akuma were to rise to get control of the Elemental Nations, then one of his descendants would be the one to stop the corruption and the evil in the world.
Then many years later, the Uzumaki Clan were ambushed by three of the major villages, Iwa, Kiri and Kumo with help of the Uchiha's thanks to Madara, the Uzushiogakure was destroyed.
But Totosai who was still alive escaped with other members of the clan that survived, just before Totosai went into hiding, he ordered his fellow clan members to seal away the weapons and the jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan until a direct descendant of Totosai comes to claim it, but he wanted them to make special hiding spots for the Legendary Weapons for no one can use them for their own selfish gains.
Totosai himself declared that he would guard Mokushiroku until it's services are once again needed.
So he disappeared into the nations, and was never seen again."
And that's the end of the legend.
Me: Wow. That's incredible.
Satsuki: I had no idea that weapons like this even existed.
Yakumo: Me neither.
Natsumi: Same here. I may be 1,000 years old but this is incredible.
Me: It sure is. And this Akuma guy sounds like he poses an incredible danger to the entire planet as well.
Kushina: He is. I've known about this legend for a while but it's very interesting.
Yugito: No kidding.
Me: But now we know that Madara also destroyed the Uzumaki.
Satsuki: Madara you are worse than the devil himself you fuckfaced asswipe!
Me: Well said Satsuki.
Tsunami: I can't believe that the Uchiha were that evil.
Me: I know.
Tsunami's son Inari came home.
Inari: I'm home.
Tsunami: Hey Inari, welcome home.
Inari came in and hugged Tsunami.
Tazuna: Hey Inari.
Inari: Grandpa!
He hugged him too.
Inari: Welcome back.
Tazuna: It was thanks to these brave shinobi here.
Me: Hey Inari.
Naruto: Glad to see you again.
Inari gasped when he saw us.
Inari: Brothers J.D. and Naruto? Is that you?
Me: It sure is.
Naruto: It's good to see you kiddo.
Inari came to me and I hugged him and he cried hard.
Me: It's all right Inari. Let it all out. Let it all out.
Naruto: Tsunami we heard about what happened to Kaiza and you have our condolences.
Tsunami: Thank you guys.
Inari was about to fall asleep.
Me: I'll go tuck him into bed. He's about to fall asleep here.
I pick him up and take him to his room and put him in his bed as he was crying.
Inari: (Crying) Why did Gato kill daddy!? Why!?
Me: Money and power. Those are the primary forces behind evil. Money and power. But I promise you Inari, we, The Knights of The New Fire will not let Gato's crimes go unpunished. He will pay for everything he has done to the Land of Waves.
Inari: You promise?
Me: I promise bro.
Inari was forever grateful and he went to sleep.
I tucked him in and left his room.
Another chapter complete.
Sorry I took so long on this. I've been so busy with The Loud House: Revamped that it's gonna take a while. Part 11 comes soon.
