So far there are only three reviews for last chapter! Ya'll are still enjoying right? Anyways, here are my comments on your reviews!:
fallendemon248: Naruto doesn't even know he has Wood Style yet. Don't know where that'll come in, but most likely it'll make an appearance in the sequel. The Rinnegan will have shows here and there, even in this chapter, but it'll make its largest appearance in the sequel as well.
StrongGuy159: You got it!
fallendemon248: Sorry about that. The Rinnegan is making an appearance this chapter though, so I hope you enjoy this chapter!
insanemaelstorm: I wanted to have a training centric chapter so that my biewers could get the idea of their training so that it isn't Sakura suddenly popping out a move or Hinata suddenly being more confident without explanation like in some fanfics I read, which don't get very descriptive. I think that every anime and fanfic that I've ever read, personally, has never mentioned a girls time of the month even though it happens literally every month, so I decided to add in details no one else cares to. Glad you like details.
At that point in Naruto I think that Temari is arrogant, thinking that she's far better than Konoha ninja and, while she is stronger than Sakura definitely, Sakura didn't hesitate to use Temari's slightly uncaring attitude towards their battle to her advantage. If I didn't describe this well then I apologize and I don't find Sasuke as a person to wait for his enemy, in this case Shikamaru, to wake up enough or gather up enough caring towards the situation to actually think the situation through, and Shikamaru would have won had he truly cared enough to think his movements through.
Brazilwolf: Glad you like the story, and since Sasuke doesn't have the curse mark he isn't as much of an asshole to others, so he will notice Sakura's improvement when he sees it. I try my best to think through Naruto and how he should utilize his bloodlines, just so that I won't be dumb and mess up something important, and so thank you for liking how Naruto uses his bloodlines! Zabuza and Haku died for a reason, and even though Naruto doesn't usually show it, you'll see in this chapter on why. Glad you look forward to reading more, and I hope you enjoy!
Anyways, on to the story!
Sasuke's POV
"CHIDORI!" I yelled as shoved my hand out in front of me, the lightning surrounding my hand breaking through the sand with ease, and my hand flew right into Gaara's shoulder. I saw my fellow Genin's eyes widen before his crazed voice yelled, "BLOOD! MY BLOOD!" and I didn't have any time to react before sand surrounded my ankle and swung me around a few times before throwing me, and I hit the ground rolling till I hit the wall of the arena that I'd nearly just run off of.
I, thankfully didn't hit my head that hard, but when I looked up I saw Gaara being taken away by his brother while the arena stands went into absolute chaos. My gaze hardened as I ran after Gaara and his brother, I couldn't let him get away, I couldn't. My resolve hardened. 'I'll see you after I finish this up Sakura.' And with that I jumped out of the arena, chasing after the two Suna nin.
Trees. Brown and green. That's all I can see. Gaara and Konkuro were surprisingly fast, so now all I could do was follow the feel of Gaara's dark, dare I say demonic chakra, not wanting to waste my chakra with a Shunshin, just in case I didn't appear at the right place at the wrong time. I felt them stop and sped up a bit, and when I burst into the small clearing they'd stopped in I saw that a Sand nin was talking with Konkuro.
The Jonin sensed me first, and I could tell because he yelled at Konkuro to run further away. I stopped on a branch in front of the Jonin and got into my battle stance, ready to fight when I heard a buzzing behind me.
"I'll deal with the Jonin Sasuke. I've yet to fight today, I want my turn." Sasuke could tell that it was Shino, and knew that the Aburame was still angry about not being able to fight Konkuro, so I nodded to the bug user and took off, leaving Shino to his battle.
Naruto's POV
There was fighting going on all around us, and I was definitely one of the main few combatants, as both Sakura and Hinata were awakening other ninja that had fallen for the genjutsu that had been cast over the arena stands. I had my chest encased in bone as a pseudo chest plate and I was using two bastard swords, slashing and trashing Sand and Sound nins and making sure to spit some senbon at them as well. I sensed something behind me and moved just in time to avoid a kunai aimed at my head, and I turned around to block the second one. It was another Sand Chunin, and before I could take her out Kakashi appeared out of nowhere and knocked the kunoichi out.
"Naruto, I need you to get Sakura, Hinata and Shikamaru to go find Sasuke and help him defeat Gaara. Here, take Pakkun with you." He said as he stabbed another sound nin in the stomach with his kunai before summoning a small brown pug with large brown eyes and a small blue vest and matching Konoha headband on.
"Pakkun, lead Naruto and his team to Sasuke. I gotta start fighting, so get going as fast as you can." And with that Kakashi started killing people left and right, what surprised me was when he pushed up his Leaf headband to reveal his Sharingan. I looked for Sakura and Hinata, only to find them trying to convince Shikamaru to get up, and I just shook my head at the lazy ninja and stomped my foot on his ass, causing him to yelp.
"Kakashi-sensei said you needed to come with us to help us retrieve Sasuke and defeat Gaara. You don't come along then you'll be resisting the order of a Jonin, which would result in your mom bitching. Want that? No? Then get the fuck up and get a move on." I heard the pineapple haired Genin mutter "Troublesome" but ignored it in favor of punching a hole through the wall and hopping through, jumping into the trees as I started following Sasuke's chakra signature. Pakkun was right net to me, Sakura behind me, Shikamaru behind her with Hinata bringing up the rear. Hopefully Sasuke was waiting for us, and not attacking head on like a dumbass.
Sasuke's POV
Fighting Konkuro wasn't fun, especially when you kept getting cut with items that were coated in poison. That was what was happening with me right now, but ever so slowly I was getting the upper hand Konkuro had many tricks in his puppets, but I was learning them all every time he used one. Slowly, I was leading an unknowing Konkuro towards a push that, if touched, would instantaneously become itchy wherever they were touched, and just as Konkuro wasn't even two feet from the bush, I Shunshin'ed in front of him and kicked him back as I tore off his cat suit so he'd get the full effect.
However, it seems as though Konkuro went commando, so when I realized that I immediately turned around and threw up. Wiping my mouth, I didn't dare look back at Konkuro as I dropped the ripped cat suit and darted into the trees to try and find Gaara and defeat him. Everything was rushing by me as I focused on one being, one scent, one chakra. Gaara, from what i could sense, was not going far at the slow pass he was going at, and I used that to my advantage as I sped up to find him. By the time I'd reached him he was holding on to a tree for support, shudders going throughout his body as he lifted his head to stare at me. An eye glowing an ethereal gold with a black star in the middle and a sea foam green eyes stared at me, and I stared right back, unable to move as fear overtook my body.
"I'm going to kill you. Sasuke. Uchiha" His voice made it sound like he'd gargled gravel, and without skipping a beat he burst forward, and I was able to nick myself on a shuriken attached to my weapons pouch and jump away just as Gaara's arm was surrounded by sand and swung at where I'd just been. It would have been a blow that would have surely crushed bones, and I could only sigh in relief that I hadn't just gotten so gravely wounded before I was forced on the defense yet again, jumping and dodging to the sides and backwards, sometimes even having to flip forwards as I avoided Gaara's giant sand arm.
Ever so slowly the sand started creeping its way over Gaara's skin, enveloping his arm, leg and the right side of his face completely. I tried throwing shuriken and kunai, but Gaara's sand just absorbed them and shot them right back at me, so I could only do one thing. Flipping back 15 branches, I'd bought myself jst enough time to fly through the hand signs for the Chidori. Soon the sound of a thousand chirping birds filled the ears of Gaara and myself, and when he was finally on the branch in front of my I lept forward, yelling "CHIDORI!" as I thrust my hand forward and into Gaara's heart, but at the very last second Gaara's sand threw my arm slightly to the side, so I ended up only piercing Gaara's right shoulder, which left both his shoulders wounded.
He screamed and as the chakra around my hand died down I tried pulling my fist away, only for the sand to wrap itself around my hand and start grinding my knuckles together, slowly putting more pressure, till my knuckles were chipping off against each other, and all I could do was stand there and take the pain while I gritted my teeth, unable to do anything else. With a sickening crack that echoed throughout the woods he'd had enough toying around, and her broke my knuckles against each other, eliciting a cry of pain that escaped my mouth unwanted.
My hand was spit out from Gaara's sand before Gaara' lifted his left hand against me, and I was to focused on cradling my broken fist to my chest when he punched my temple, sending me flying into a tree. I didn't see anything else, but I felt the sudden rush of power near Gaara, and I smiled softly as I drifted off, unable to stay awake any longer..
Naruto's POV
I arrived in the clearing were I sensed Gaara and Sasuke just as said Uchiha was punched into a tree. I rushed straight in, bones shooting from every inch of my body that would still allow me movement as I rushed in. Gaara was both unprepared for my speed and for the spikes protruding through my skin so it was easy to land a punch to his face.
He hit a tree and slumped down onto a branch, but it would hVe been to easy if he hadn't stood back up.
"YOU'RE STRONG UZUMAKI! MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE!" Gaara said as sand started completely surrounding him out of nowhere, and there was only one thing I could to stop him.
I turned on my Rinnegan and my eyes shot open, glaring at Gaara, and will a wave of my hand and a large blast of chakra I sent him back 50 feet.
"SHINRA TENSEI!" Gaara flew backwards into another tree, and I decided not to slack. At. All.
"Bansho Ten'in!"
Everytime I brought him towards me I'd send chakra into my fist and punch him backwards again, and before long I'd knocked him out. Which proved to be a very bad and very stupid thing indeed.
"I'M BACK!" Of course knocking out an unstable fellow demon holder like Gaara, who apparently had one of the weakest seals in the history of seals, would have their demon unleashed by getting knocked out. Of. Fucking. Course.
"WHO ARE YOU PIP-SQUEAK?" Damn, the Ichibi sure is fucking loud. No wonder Gaara's insane. Then it struck me. Wait a second. If the Ichibi comes out when Gaara's unconscious then. Gaara was keeping his village safe by not sleeping, even though that turned him psycho. Holly shit the Sand village is fucked up. It was then I decided to help out Gaara, who understood me and I him.
First things first, I had to deal with the Ichibi.
"OH! LOOK WHO HAS THE RINNEGAN! HOW DID YOU GET MY FATHERS EYES YOU LITTLE SHIT?!" My ears were going to start to bleed, and since my team couldn't stay here with me any longer, I told the, to grab Sasuke and head back to Konoha before turning back to face the Ichibi.
"SO ICHIBI! I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW THIS, BUT I CONTAIN THE KYUBI. YOU KNOW, YOUR OLDER AND FAR MORE POWERFUL SIBLING? I'LL MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU! GO BACK INTO THE SEAL, OR I'LL BE FORCED TO KICK YOUR ASS!"
The Ichibi just started laughing at me, and I didn't like that one bit.
"Shinra Tensei." I said without a care, and withe the flick of my wrist the Ichibi was sent flying back.
"YOU MOTHERFUCK-"
"Bansho Ten'in." That sent the Ichibi behind me, and when I turned I saw him spitting out dirt. I wasn't prepared for him spitting out dirt filled air waves at me though, so I was immediately hit and sent backwards.
"Fucking hell that hurt." I muttered to myself before sand started creeping towards me across the forest floor.
"Bitch. Bitch. Bitch. Bitch. I'm a boss ass bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch."
Naruto's eye twitched. That was a song Sakura had sang a lot during their training trip as she was a fan of a woman that came from Kumo. It was one of the more annoying songs the pinkette had sang, and Naruto was fed up with that bullshit.
"SHINRA TENSEI!" Naruto yelled as he sent most his chakra into it this time, thoroughly confusing the Ichibi and sending the giant sand form backwards, but Naruto cancelled the Justus half way in exchange for Bansho Ten'in, and just like that the Ichibi was on its stomach, had exposed with swirls in its eyes. Naruto knew this opportunity wouldn't last long, so he sent chakra into his feet and jumped forward onto the Ichibi's head before taking off at a run towards Gaara's unmoving form.
Once Naruto was nearly there he felt sand start to try and wrap around his feet, so he asked for a Kyubi chakra loan and sent it to his feet, thoroughly succeeding in keeping the sand away from capturing him.
"WAKE THE FUCK UP!" Naruto yelled as he punched Gaara, waking the sleeping redhead. The sand started falling, and Gaara and Naruto fell the short fall to the ground and laid there, Gaara waiting for help and Naruto waiting for the same.
Naruto looked over at Gaara, and slowly stood up and started walking to him. Gaara's eyes filled with fear as the redhead told Naruto to stay back, but the blond didn't listen. Instead, Naruto kneeled down beside Gaara and lifted the boys shirt, looking for his seal. The seal was a small one right over Gaara's heart, and Naruto knew who to ask about changing it up and moving it.
After that, Naruto smiled at Gaara softly, something he didn't often do, and he laid down next to the redhead as black started overcoming his vision.
"You and I aren't so different. We both demon holders, hated for something we can't control. I've got people who believe in me. Not best friends or anything, but people I can rely on on and off the field. I could be your ally, most likely your first. I don't care about what you hold for obvious reasons, and we can rely on each other on and off the field. Sound. Good?"
The last thing Naruto saw was Gaara nodding before he fell asleep, and he didn't feel quite so bad about sleeping on the job.
Hey guys! Hope you liked this chapter! If you did, make sure to give a review if you have the time! Next arc is with Tsunade, and after that will be about one or two chapters, and then I'll have finished Naruto Uzumaki: The Rogue Rinnegan. Anyways, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask through a review or PM!
Chow for Now! Peace:)
