Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Author's Note: Again this wasn't suppose to be a chapter, but hell I made it into one, ne…
I wrote this listening to Hamasaki Ayumi's 'Evolution'
To clarify, this is not a NaruIno fic…just wanted someone to know he's Naruto.
Matashitemo, gomen for the grammar, I made this chapter in an hour …that fast so I don't pay much attention to detail, ne… Gomenasai!
Chapter 11: Truth and Lies
At Jiroucho's House…
The faint sound of a bell could be heard from a distance…
She heard it. It was a very fascinating sound. She couldn't help but wake from her slumber. She could feel her head burning in pain. She got up and moved to the window facing a nearby tree. She heard it again amidst the rain drops that pelted the roof and ground. It became fainter and seems to lead into the forest. She tried to ignore it, but the alluring sound sucked her in. She jumped from the window into forest. Her figure slowly faded into the background of the green forest; her hair melding with the leaves.
Deep in the forest…
'The Rokubi will be arriving soon…' he thought as he eyed the unconscious body of a blonde girl beneath a tree a few meters from where he was sitting atop on 'Hime…I'll give you what you asked for…'
"You've lured the Rokubi?" a voice in the shadows said.
He turned to the shadows, "I thought I told Zetsu-san for you not to interfere"
"Yeah, I know. We just wanted to check on you that's all…" another voice said.
"I'm fine" he said flatly.
"Who's the girl?" the earlier voice asked.
"What's it to you?" he replied.
"Looks like our little ouji has bagged himself a little prize"
"She's not a prize!" he retorted, "She's one of my friends…"
"Since when did you have friends?" a voice asked, amused.
"Like you care…" he said faintly, "Get out of here before the Rokubi arrives…"
"Whatever…" the voice said as two silhouettes disappeared from view.
'It's almost here…'
He could hear footsteps running in his direction. By the sound of it he deduced that the Rokubi's jinchuuriki maybe female; a light one at that. He observed high atop a branch at the small clearing in the middle of the forest; the only place in the whole damn place for an ambush.
'It's here…' (Notice that he refers to her as 'it')
He took note of the jinchuuriki's appearance. It was wearing what looks like hospital clothes. It had green hair, emerald green eyes and a beautiful face. A seal was visisble on its forehead…
'Why is its seal showing itself? Is it unstable?' he thought as he eyed its forehead. (It's all 'it's here)
'I have to disable it…before it awakens'
The jinchuuriki was like a walking corpse as it stood there looking around trying to find the source of the sound…'She' was not herself…
'The genjutsu's still affecting it…Time to act…' (Remember he hasn't reused his disguise genjutsu, so he had blonde hair, whisker marks and blue eyes at this point)
He jumped to a tree near the jinchuuriki, careful not to disrupt the genjutsu. He made a couple of hand seals and whispered "Ninpou:Seishin Banshuu…(Ninja Skill: Mind Corruption)"
After a few seconds the jinchuuriki clutched her head in pain. Her cries rang throughout the forest. She wailed, screeched and trembled in pain. She dropped on the ground as her feet gave in to the pain that affected her head. She tried to crawl but the pain rooted her to the spot. (It's 'her' at this point…)
'This was easier than I thought…now to—' his thoughts were cut off when the jinchuuriki started to stand up, 'what the?'
His worst fears were realized when the jinchuuriki started to radiate greenish charka. Her hair stood up on ends waving around like water despite the heavy rain, her eyes now a dark green and three feathery tails whirled around behind her as a pair of wings sprouted from her back.
'Shit! It's awake…'
I turned to his direction and started to speak…
"Pitiful human…do you think I will let you have my power? This fool of a host is too weak to defend itself…"
Its voice was different from the Kyuubi, it was female.
Naruto then made several more hand seals not a little bit intimated by the demonic voice…
"Katon: Karyuu Endan!" he shouted aiming the jutsu at the Rokubi.
"Weak… Hanedangan! (Feather Shot)" it shouted; the feathers on its tail and wings started to spread around him, it started to glow green and formed a bird made of feathers. It charged and met the Karyuu Endan in between the two. The connection created a small explosion.
Naruto's eyes widened when he saw the feather bird went through the smoke seemingly unharmed and was flying towards him.
'Damn, those feathers don't burn!' he thought as he dodged the incoming bird by jumping to another tree, but was surprised as the Rokubi shouted "Kai!" causing the bird to explode sending kunai like feathers in different directions scarring the trees and narrowly missing him.
"Your pathetic ninjutsu won't work on me human…" it said as it started to flap its wings.
'I won't let you escape…' he thought making several more handseals…
"Yajuu Ori Houin! (Beast Cage Sealing Method)" he shouted sending three spear-shaped chakra rods from out of nowhere and formed a triangular shaped around the Biju.
"Pathetic…do you think that these twigs can stop me?" it said as it tried to move but found that it can't.
"What? Impossible... Unless you….?" It said its voice filled with unbelief.
"That's right… I can see through that seal of yours and created a counter just incase it broke" he said triumphantly a smirk forming on his lips.
"Impossible! A mere human can't make a counter seal that fast…" it said as it tried to disperse the seal with a burst of chakra.
"There's nothing you can do that can destroy that seal…"
"I maybe immobile, but I can still kill you from afar!" it said as it started to mold more chakra and shouted, "Hanedangan!" sending three feather birds toward Naruto.
Naruto dodged all three, and also dodged all the feathers when the Biju cried out 'Kai!' much to the Rokubi's displeasure.
'This is the end…' he thought as he made three seals ending with a snake… "Fuuin: Shippu! (Seal: Compress!)" The rods started to converge squeezing the Biju's chakra as well as the host's body.
After a few minutes, the struggle ended with Naruto dispersing the seal sending the Rokubi's unconscious host plummeting to the forest floor.
'At last, it's ended' he thought as he flung the unconscious girl on his shoulder 'I've kept my promise…It's time for me go…'
"Hime… forgive me…" he said softly to the unconscious blonde.
Flashback—
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto! What's yours?" a blonde-haired boy asked a blonde-haired girl.
"Ino, Yamanaka Ino…" replied the four-year old.
"Do you have a brother? If not I could be your brother!" he said grinning rather dumbly at the girl.
"Really? Will you be my big brother?" she said joyfully, as she eyed her new 'brother'.
"Ino!" they turned their attention to a pink haired girl who was waving at Ino.
"Who's that?" he asked her.
"My bestfriend Sakura" she replied waving back at the pink haired girl who was now fading away from view.
"From now on, I'll call you Hime!" he said smiling at the girl.
"Oohhh! Really?" she giggled.
"Hai!" he replied waving a peace sign.
The scene then changes into a twelve-year old Naruto talking to a twelve-year old Ino.
"How's your new team, Hime?" he asked Ino who looks like she was deep in thought.
"Naruto…please don't call me that…I'm not a child anymore and other people might get the wrong idea…" she said softly to him.
He stared at her for a moment, "I understand…" he said, his voice low.
"It'd be best if we don't see each other…please don't appear before me again…and if we do meet…please treat me like you would with other people…okay?" she said as she slowly walked away from him.
Flashback End—
"In the end… I'll do what you say…" he said as he took one last glance at the blonde, 'ore no imouto' (my little sister) and disappeared into the forest.
A few miles away…
BOOM!
Another exploding tag destroys another portion of a large tree…
'Damn, he was able to dodge my Mangekyou…' Kakashi thought as he dodged another kick pulverized the branch he was satnding on.
His opponent already lost two of his hands thanks to his Mangekyou, but much to his chagrin he still was pretty strong. His demonic enemy was able to match his speed, so much that he had difficulty dodging; eventually leading to several bruises on his body. He has already used up too much chakra and only have enough to sustain the sharingan for another twenty minutes.
'I have to think of something or he will pulverize me…'
A kilometer away…
"AAAAHHHHH!" an oto-nin cried in agony as Sasuke's wakizashi ripped through his stomach.
'Damn, this guy's too tough…no wonder Orochimaru-sama wants him to be his container…' one of the oto-nin thought as he stared at his comrade's grim demise.
He made a run for it but was caught off guard as a snake coiled around his neck and other parts of his body, he could hear someone mutter, "Sen'eitajashu! (Hidden Shadow Many Snakes Hand)" the snakes then started to wrap around him and then began biting through his skin and started to crush every bone in his body as the voice muttered, "Kujiku! (Crush)". He grunted as he felt his skull breaking under the immense pressure.
The person then stood beside his enemy's crushed remains, admiring his work. 'While I was in Sound, their shinobi were a lot stronger than these weaklings… Hn, the sound shinobi's strength is weakening…where is Kakashi?'
A mile away from Jiroucho's House…
"Wait up, Sakura!" Kiba yelled at Sakura who was so great in haste that she has traversed a few meters of distance away from him…
"Hurry up you two! Her seal is weaking, we need to find Kakashi and fast!" she said increasing even more in speed.
Two kilometers away from the two of them…
"Beautiful isn't it Lee?" Gai said pointing at the sun that was slowly reavealing itself as the rain started to dissipate.
"The rain is filled with sadness, Gai-sensei!" he stated waving a hand at the sun.
"Yosh, let us celebrate the arrival of the sun's glorious rays of youth with a little sparring match!" he said as made his was away from Lee and got into a stance, "LEE! COME AT ME AND SHOW ME THE BURNING FLAMES OF YOUTH!"
"HAI! GAI-SENSEI!" Lee shouted excitedly.
In Orochimaru's lair…
"Ah…Naruto-kun, I was wondering when you were gonna come visit me…" Orochimaru said eyeing the blonde in front of him.
'Has he captured the Rokubi?' Kabuto asked himself not seeing the green haired grass jounin anywhere.
"Who are you looking for, Kabuto-san?" he asked coyly.
"No one in particular Naruto-kun…" he replied rather uninterestingly.
Naruto then tossed a scroll to Orochimaru, "A gift from 'Ne'"
Orochimaru opened the scroll and read its contents causing his eyes to widen, "This is…?" he said surprised and looked at the blonde
"That's right…a detailed transcription of Konoha's written history…the secret to it's destruction" he said grinning evilly.
A few miles away…
"Ugnh…" Ino, who was starting to get up from her 'sleep', grunted as she rubbed her head in pain, 'How long was I out?'
She glanced around and remembered what happened, "Naruto!" she shouted trying to find the blonde…Losing hope she dropped down on the ground her legs spread 'Onii-chan, where are you?'
