Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
A/N: I am really sorry that it has been so long. I had to reboot my laptop, and that left me with nothing but notepad, which is...unacceptable. And what i'm using now is not much better. Hopefully soon, i shall have something decent to write with. This chapter is short,but I need to update now, since a lot of people seem to think I'm dead...thanks, I feel loved... I will start updating more as soon as a few things get handled. Well, gotta go.
Konoha's Demon Fox
Chapter 11: First job
Tsunade felt her jaw slacken as she heard Naruto tell her who Yugito was. Being a jinchuuriki, the girl was probably very powerful. And from what the girl told her before Naruto came in, she wanted to become a leaf shinobi.
Looking back at Naruto, she spoke, "How did you two meet?"
For a second, it didn't look like Naruto was going to respond, but the boy's gaze broke away from Yugito and answered the blonde Hokage, "That mission to copy jutsu that you gave me. I was in Hidden Cloud, watching the Jounin to get some powerful Raiton jutsu from a nearby tree. I saw Yugito performing some pretty awesome techniques, and I followed her. When I finally confronted her, I sensed Nekomata, the two-tailed cat. We talked for a while, and she let me copy all of her jutsu, since she was the second strongest person in the village. I told her that she could come to Konoha anytime."
Yugito nodded, "And here I am. Nekomata called me to her and told me that she is sensing that the other jinchuuriki are being taken out. I came here, since Naruto said that he was the Kyuubi, and Shukaku is here as well. I wish to meet Shukaku, and merge with my demon as they have. This Akatsuki group is not getting Nekomata."
Tsunade nodded, "Don't worry. You're in our hands now, and Naruto will make sure nothing happens. However, Naruto, what do you know of the other jinchuuriki? You can sense them far better than anyone else."
Naruto sighed, "Sadly, things aren't looking too good for my brothers and sisters. Kyu and I performed the ritual to call out to them, and had their spirits come to us. Only Nekomata, Shukaku, and I are in any position to protect ourselves. Isonade, the three tailed shark, was sealed in Itachi's old partner, Kisame. Itachi killed him, and the demon didn't survive. Isonade's companion, Samahada, is sealed inside of a sword, which Itachi has. We are still trying to figure out a way to hold it without getting hurt."
Naruto paused, but then continued, "Sokou, the four-tailed Rooster, came but he's sealed inside of a human named Sasori, who just happens to be a member of Akatsuki. His powers are being forced to help his container with his poisons. He said that we would be able to tell who Sasori is because the human walks just like him, which is like a scorpion. Sokou pleads for us to kill him and his container as soon as we can.
"Houko, the five-tailed dog, is not contained and is safe for the time being. However, he is still wounded from the battle that he and Nekomata had against Kyu a long time ago. He says that it will be a few more years until he can leave his spot.
"Raijuu, the six-tailed weasel, was sealed into a sword called Raijin a long time ago. He says that he is being wielded by the Konoha missing-nin, Aoi. I plan to get him and bring him back to us before Akatsuki get him.
"Kaku, the seven-tailed Badger, is in the same predicament as Sokou, as he is sealed into Deidara, also a member of Akatsuki. He is being forced to use his clay powers to make Deidara's explosives. He also begs to be killed.
"Hachimata, or Yamato no Orochi, the eight-tailed snake, is sealed in Uchiha Sasuke. He basically told us to go screw ourselves before leaving. And me, I'm here. That's basically it."
Tsunade was, at that point, fighting off a headache, "So, we have three, Akatsuki have three, one is dead, another is wounded, and the other is sealed into a sword and is being wielded by a missing-nin. And the companion to the three-tails is here as well. Okay, we can't let Akatsuki have more demons than they already have. Naruto, I want you to send a team of two from your squad to find and retrieve the Raijin. I expect this mission to be completed in two weeks time."
Naruto nodded, "I'll have two members leave as soon as I leave here, Hokage-Sama. Anything else that you need?"
Tsunade nodded, "Yugito, go outside, and tell one of the ANBU to take you to Gaara. He will provide you with a place to stay. I'll hold a private match in two days time to see what rank of Ninja you should be. Naruto will come by after that, and he will begin the process of merging you to Nekomata." Yugito bowed and left out the door, and Tsunade continued, "You have one more mission. I give you one week before you leave. I want YOU on this mission. You can take as many people as you want."
"What is this mission?"
The Hokage slid a folder out to Naruto, and he picked it up. As he skimmed through it, Tsunade explained, "Following Orochimaru's death, his village has been holding a civil war to see who will become the new Otokage. Normally, that would be okay with us, but the people who live there causes problems. Orochimaru seemed to have an open door policy for missing nin. Basically, all of his shinobi were, in fact, missing-nin. Most of them are powerful and cruel. I want you to go and eliminate all the missing-nin that you think pose a threat to us."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "You're saying that it's up to me to decide who should be eliminated? What about the women and children? What if they get caught in the crossfire?"
"The innocents have been escorted out of the village already, due to the civil war. The only people in the village are missing-nin. Be careful, though. There are over six hundred shinobi there. And as I said before, it's you who decides who or how many are a threat."
Naruto nodded, "This could be what starts passing our name through the world."
Tsunade shrugged her shoulders, "Hey, if you believe that you and your squad are ready and can protect yourselves from the enemies that will come from this, I have no problems advertising. The seven swordsmen of the mist made a name for themselves, and for your vision to work, you need to do the same. I understand that. You just make sure that you can handle what comes with the making of your legends."
Naruto nodded and left the room. Since the Hokage could only see his back, she failed to notice the sadistic smirk on his face.
(((o)))-(((o)))
That afternoon, Naruto called for both teams to meet him at the Uzumaki training grounds. When they arrived, Naruto looked at them all, "Who here is familiar with Konoha's legendary sword, the Raijin?"
Two hands were raised, and Naruto nodded, "Scavenger, White Wolf, you two are to leave immediately and find that sword. Find it, and bring it back to Konoha. There is a chance that Akatsuki may be looking for it as well, so be cautious. Hokage-Sama expects this mission to be completed in two weeks time. You may leave."
Once Kakashi and Itachi had left, Naruto looked at the others, "Now, there is one more mission. That is to eliminate all threats in Otokagure. The Hokage gave me the authority to choose who all they are, and also I can take as many members as I want. Kitsune, Tori, Mamba, Tanuki, you are who I choose to join me in this mission. We depart in one week. Report back here in two days so that I can show you a technique that I will need."
With that, Naruto dismissed the two teams, and they left to prepare. Naruto, however, caught up with Gaara, "Hey, did you get to meet Yugito yet?"
Gaara nodded, "She seems powerful, but she is incomplete and feeling lost, as we once were. She needs to merge with her demon, and only then will she be able to protect herself."
Naruto waved his hand, "I'll do that later, but that's not what I meant, Gaara. Us containers live a very lonely life. It would be nice if you had someone to share your life with, you know? And she strikes me as the type that you'd like."
Gaara shot him a weird look, "What does that mean?"
The blonde sighed, "You're SO out of touch."
(((O)))-(((O)))
It was three days later and Naruto found himself in his private training grounds. The last few days had been really hectic. First, the rookie nine, plus team Gai kidnapped him and took him out for ramen, which, by the time he heard that, it was no longer kidnapping. Everyone had berated him for losing touch, to which Naruto told them that he had a lot going on, most of the things were important to Konoha, but he didn't go into it further. They grudgingly accepted his excuse.
Second, Yugito was tested by the Hokage herself. She did pretty well, to which she was awarded with chuunin rank, and Jounin rank after a few missions. Right after the match, Naruto had taken her to Gaara's house to merge her with her demon. It was...different from his and Gaara's merging. The entire time, there was this cold chill around the room, to which Naruto took as Nekomata's deathly powers being released. Since the two tails was merging with a human, those powers of death could not follow. Humans were not meant to have that kind of power. Other than that, the merging went well.
After that, Naruto had met with the the squad that he was taking to the sound village, and taught them the technique that would make his mission complete. To their credit, it only took them a few hours to master the jutsu.
Now, Naruto only had four days to prepare, and he was here, in his training grounds, where he was working on a few new techniques that he had thought of.
Moving his hand to his side, Naruto formed a rasengan easily. Next was the hard part. Using a chakra string that he learned from Kankurou, he attached it to the rasengan after a few tries. The string would make sure that the attack could stay formed no matter how far away from his body. Swinging the rasengan around his head a few times, he let it fly towards a tree that was directly in front of him with a yell, "RASENGAN TOUNYUU!"(Rasengan throw)
As soon as the sphere touched, the tree exploded into wood chips. Naruto smirked. That was easy. Now for the hard ones. Jiraiya, who was watching from a distance had his eyes widened in shock. For a minute, he wanted to bash his head in for not thinking of that, but settled for watching what else he could use.
Forming another Rasengan, Naruto created a string, just like last time, and added it to the Rasengan again. However, he gave it only a foot of slack, than added another rasengan, and repeated this process until he had five. Once again, he hurled the rasengan towards a tree, but as soon as the first one touched, he yanked back on the string, and swung the string towards another tree, until the second rasengan touched. Naruto continued until he had destroyed five trees with one attack, "Rasengan Gotama Konbo.(Rasengan five shot combo)"
Naruto smirked, "Now, that's awesome."
Jiraiya couldn't agree more.
(((O)))
Naruto, Arashi, Gaara, Anko, and Kyu all left early at night on their seventh day. With extreme speed, and without rest, they would make it to Sound in about a day and a half. From there, they would rest a couple miles before town, and begin the attack in the morning.
This plan worked flawlessly. As of now, they were making camp two miles away from the sound village, and almost all of them were wide awake. Naruto, on the other hand, was snoring.
The other four members were all gathered around a small campfire. Anko turned to Arashi, "How can he be so calm? I couldn't sleep if my life depended on it."
Arashi shrugged, "He's merely confident in his abilities."
Gaara, the one who usually was deathly quiet, nodded in agreement, "However, is that wise? I don't doubt his abilities for obvious reasons, but we all know what he's planning."
Kyu gave out a slight chuckle, "Child's play for one such as him. Anyway, we have to follow his orders, and that leaves us too busy to help. Just sit back and enjoy. This kind of thing doesn't happen too often."
"But..."
Arashi sighed, "Kyu is right. We should rest, and get ourselves ready to complete our parts."
Slowly, they all went back to their tents and went to sleep. Arashi, the last one to fall asleep, sighed, "Tomorrow is going to be different. That's for sure."
(((O)))
Before dawn, the camp that they had all stayed the night in was already packed up, and the genjutsu used to conceal themselves was dispersed. They were well rested, and had no complications thus far. Each of them mentally and physically prepared themselves for what was about to happen.
--
Naruto snuck past the gate guards quite easily, and was now sitting on a park bench that was roughly the center of the village. Looking around, he noticed that everything was just how the hokage said it would be. There were no civilians. All that was left were ninja and other criminals. Naruto smirked...
(((O)))
Five minutes has passed since Naruto had left the four others, and went into the village. Meanwhile, the other had separated and went to their places, which were each a separate corner of the small village.
Exactly at the same time, each made fifteen seals and pulled up most of their chakra, and called out, "FOUR SEASON SEAL BARRIER!" (if that name sounds corny, replace it with the name of the barrier that the sound four put up. Its the same, i just couldn't remember the name.)
(((O)))
Naruto laughed as the entire town stared in horror as a thick purple barrier shot up around their village. As they stood still and watched the barrier complete itself, Naruto laughter came louder and harder, causing all of the people around him to look in his direction.
Naruto noticed the attention turn to him and he stopped laughing, "People of Sound, listen closely. The Hokage has sent me, the new Kyuubi, to take out whoever I think will be a threat towards Konoha. I have come to tell you missing-nin, thieves, slave traders,and murderers..."
Naruto grinned and his eyes switched to the Jidougan, "...to me, you are all a threat, and shall be executed immediately!"
(((O)))
The other four ninja from Konoha tried desperately to close off the sound of explosions and the screams that followed.
GGGG
End Chapter. Again,I'm sorry that it's short.
