(sniff) Oh well. Anywho the fight between Kakashi and Naruto is here dun dun dun! :P
Chapter 9
The First in the Long Line
Training Ground #3
Kakashi with his lone visible eye wide as it could get, stared at the remains, or lack thereof of the boulder Naruto had punched seconds before. The display of strength was incredible, and scariest of all he hadn't sensed any build up of chakra. The implications of that fact alone were staggering.
Naruto had used muscle power alone to cause that damage.
The blonde youth was looking at him with a cold expressionless face, that sent chills down his spine. There was no warmth or innocence held in the boys body posture. Kakashi felt as if he were staring at a merciless killer, a man who had stared into the realm of death and killing many times before. Kakashi had seen many veterans of the Third Shinobi war with the same look. 'What kind of horrors could cause him to look like this so young?' he thought to himself.
He was torn from his disbelief by a mirthless giggle, turning he looked at the girl from earlier. "I don't think I got your name earlier and what's so funny?" Kakashi asked, she gave him a cold look and pointed at Naruto.
"You can call me Akane baka scarecrow. And whats funny?" the girl Akane pointed towards Naruto who was rocking his neck side to side slight audible cracks could be heard from his motions. "Is that meatsack over there hates being underestimated. You should listen to what the baka said and pull out all your tricks or he really will kill you." she finished with a bloodthirsty grin.
Kakashi deciding that if the previous display hadn't been enough to prove that this could become a very serious fight, that the maniacal grin on Akane's face definitely did. He reached up and pulled the headband he wore covering his left eye to reveal the Sharingan that lay beneath. Pulling a kunai from the pouch on his hip he looked towards Naruto and gasped.
Covering Naruto's body were hundreds if not thousands of jagged rows and lines of blue chakra. They rotated at insane speeds around Naruto's body as the focus point, upon closer inspection Kakashi saw the ground beneath the boys feet being torn apart as they came in contact with the chakra.
"Kaze hochō." Kakashi barely heard the words and to his astonishment Naruto vanished into thin air, no seals no increase in chakra it was as if Naruto ceased to exist. Not even his Sharingan was able to detect any trace of the blonde boys location. Kakashi picked up the nearly silent noise of a light breeze and he sensed more then saw the incoming attack.
Just in time Kakashi brought his arms up in front of his face as Naruto appeared in front of him and grunted as a swinging heel kick impacted against his forearms, the power of the blow causing him to stumble backwards and Kakashi felt the flesh on his arms being cut up by the chakra he had seen before. With another sound of a breeze the youth vanished once again from mid air.
"What the hell?" Kakashi muttered as he looked around trying to figure out where his student had gone.
"Kaze hochō a technique of my own creation," the voice of Naruto came from behind and Kakashi whirled around throwing a wave of kunai only to spot nothing but the grassy plains and rocks that littered the training ground. "I dislike the feeling of Shunshin so I developed this." once again from behind him Kakashi turned to spot nothing once more.
"C'mon Naruto stop hiding and take this seriously." Kakashi taunted. The inability to not figure out where and how the boy was doing this was starting to unnerve him.
"Very well." Kakashi didn't have time to block as a fist blurred in front of him and impacted against his jaw in a viscous uppercut, throwing him bodily into the air. He felt the bones in his jaw shift from the power behind the punch and through the pain noted the evil cackles coming from Akane below as he was launched skywards.
Sasuke watched enviously, he couldn't see his new blonde teammate but the technique he was using against Kakashi was powerful. He had no doubt of that. Having dug himself out of the pit the silver haired sensei had put him in he had walked over in the direction Kakashi had left. Seeing the standoff between the two Sasuke had hid in a small bush waiting for a chance to strike and take the bells for his own. Right as he was about to attack though the blonde had vanished. Only to show up in front of Kakashi and launch a kick at the mans head, then he disappeared again.
'Where did he get such techniques?' the raven haired youth asked himself as he watched his teacher suffer a powerful uppercut and fly into the sky. 'I should have that kind of power I need it I am an avenger! I need that kind of power to kill... him.' the last loyal Uchiha watched as Naruto showed up in midair above their sensei and kicked the man in the gut shooting him down to the grass below like a round fired from a cannon. With a massive crash of dust and dirt, and roar of wind Sasuke saw his teacher leave a crater where he had hit. His sensei's body bounced off the ground only to be kicked once more as the blonde appeared again into the tree's nearly 50 feet away, the sound of shattering wood followed.
Sasuke watched in amazement as Naruto took a deep breath his chest expanding to incredible size while going through a series of hand-signs and with a shout of "Katon: Karyū Endan!" A massive dragon made of living white flames erupted from Naruto's mouth and with a primal roar flew in the direction that Kakashi had been sent.
Moving closer to the battle Sasuke vowed to learn where the blonde got his power and make it his own.
Kakashi leaned against the tree that had stopped his travels and coughed, he tasted blood in his mouth. He gripped his battered ribs, the kick earlier had broken at least three of them. This was insane! The hokage hadn't warned him about anything like this! He stared forward at the swath of destruction he had barreled through, broken branches and fallen trees leading to his student who was running through a set of seals in a blur.
He watched with horror as a white dragon made entirely of white fire tore through the earth setting both wood and grass ablaze as it swiftly ate away at the distance of the path he had left, its jaws open wide intent on devouring him. Kakashi leaped away with his Sharingan eye spinning wildly as it took in the devastation the attack left behind as it exploded against the tree he had been next to moments before.
The dragon bellowed out a keening death wail as it exploded, flaming debris rained down and scattered itself across the training grounds. The massive blast of super heated wind ate away and seared Kakashi's exposed skin and caused him to start sweating. The entire forest was alight and dark billowing clouds began to rise the sharp cackle and pungent odor of burning wood assaulted his nose.
"Kami Shinryūgi: Kindachi Myōbatsu!" Torn away from the sight Kakashi felt himself fall under the blows from Naruto once again. Kakashi gasped as a powerful grip lock around his neck and though he willed his body to move found that he couldn't do anything as; leg and knee, elbow and fist blurred and smashed against him with earth shattering force. His body danced like a marionette in Naruto's hold as the bone crushing blows assaulted his chest ribs and face.
Through his sole eye the one holding the Sharingan having been swollen shut during the attack. Kakashi watched Naruto's head stop a hairs breadth away from his own, the sound of the bell signaling that the time for the test was over halting the final blow just before it struck.
Kakashi with his body battered and broken moaned in pain as Naruto dropped him to the ground. He could feel himself bleeding from multiple cuts and found it hard to breath, the pain in his chest telling him of multiple broken if not shattered ribs. His right arm bent at an awkward angle and his left entirely unresponsive. As Kakashi's ability to hold onto consciousness left he saw Naruto produce both silver bells from his closed fist dangling them in front of his face.
Naruto looked at the bells in his hand and sighed even as he heard the whistles and clapping coming from Akane. Turning around he spotted Sasuke stomping towards him. Naruto cocked his head to its side and crossed his arms over his bare chest wondering what his raven haired teammate could want.
"Fight me." Sasuke demanded.
He stared at the last loyal Uchiha and openly gawked. Fight him what for? The test wasn't about fighting each other it was to get the bells. Sure he had gone a little bit overboard, but it wasn't his fault. Not entirely at least he hadn't mentioned that he hated tardiness as well but he would remember to mention it when Kakashi recovered.
"Why?" Naruto asked as he started to walk away making sure to pick up and put back on his cloak.
"Because you have power I need power! I need it... I need power to defeat... him!" Naruto could hear the boy stalking after him. Sighing to himself he turned around again.
"Tell you what you get sensei over there to the hospital and I fight you sometime after how's that sound?" Naruto said.
"Why can't you do it?"
"I'm not exactly welcome at the hospital I'm sure you've heard the stories, and we really should get scarecrow looked at." he deadpanned.
Glaring at Naruto, Sasuke nodded once "Deal!" the avenger then turned around and proceeded to fulfill his end of the bargain.
Smirking, Naruto walked over to Akane who had fallen off her perch in a fit of giggles. Well at least she was happy with what happened. "Ready to head home?" he asked, receiving a nod and another wave of giggles he crouched down to pick the girl up. Naruto threw her onto his back, walked five steps in the direction of the village and disappeared.
He had a feeling they had forgotten something important but ignored it.
Konoha Hospital
Sighing to herself and lost in thought, Ayame looked over the paperwork she held in her hands. Far to distracted with a certain blonde-haired boy continuously intruding upon her mind. She looked over her desk and sighed again, she hated working the front desk nothing interesting ever happened. Resting her elbow on her palm and her elbow onto the papers strewn over the wooden surface she jumped up in surprise when she spotted a raven haired youth walk through the hospital entrance, with a silver haired man slung over his shoulder.
"Oh my." Ayame cried as she walked around the desk and walked over grabbing a gurney on her way. "what happened?" she asked as she helped the boy lay the man down who gave a pained grunt. She quickly and efficiently checked over the man jotting down notes on a small pad she held in her hand.
"Hn. Training. He got beat up by some Naruto kid, serves him right for not taking us seriously." the boy replied.
The pad and pen fell from Ayame's hands and she looked at the boy in disbelief. "D-did you say Naruto?" she asked in a low whisper.
"Hai Nurse-san and if you'll excuse me I need to go find him now." she watched as the boy spun on his heel and walked out the wide double doors to the hospital once more.
Looking down at the prone man on the stretcher Ayame felt tears well up in her eyes as she knelt to pick up her pad and pen. She had already run a diagnosis jutsu on the man; severe internal organ trauma, four broken and three shattered ribs, a punctured lung, a extreme concussion, severe hypertension from his heart overworking itself to keep running. He'd be in the hospital for at least a week if not a month. He was lucky to still be alive after all that. The thought that Naruto had caused these injuries during training...
She shook her head. As she pushed the gurney down the hall calling for her fellow nurses to help prep a room for surgery. She had her job and duty to follow, after all she was a professional.
She could get her answers later.
Hokage Tower
As she walked up the stairs to the Hokage's office, Anko casually flicked a bare dango stick at a chunnin that was giving her a lecherous glare. It passed dangerously close to his most prized possession. She frowned to herself internally, she was used to the looks. She even knew she was attractive and she dressed the part for sure. But the lack of any respect she received from her fellow ninja was disheartening. Not like she could really do anything about it, well she could but she liked her outfit to much.
Her trip to the office was the need to get a new mission, Anko was bored and since Mizuki had died there weren't anymore tortur... playmates at her job. So she decided to find something to do for fun, like an A-rank mission or two.
Pushing open the massive double doors to the office Anko felt her eyes widen at the sight of nearly all of the nominated jounin instructors giving their team reports to the hokage. They as one turned and gave her a small nod of acknowledgment before continuing on. Finding herself not being dismissed Anko sidled up next to Kurenai who had just finished her report.
"Heya Nai-chan!" Anko whispered as Asuma reported that team 10 had passed. "Where is the pervert?" she had noted when she walked in that the orange book wielding Kakashi had been absent from the crowd. She knew that Tenten's team who was lead by Maito Gai had graduated the year before so she dismissed the fact that he was missing.
"He's late as usual Anko." the crimson eyed brunette responded, Kurenai detested perverts and for that reason had a severe dislike for Kakashi's blatant displays. There had been a severe falling out the day Kurenai had confronted the masked jounin. Though Anko thought the sight of Kakashi rolling around on the ground screaming "Make it stop!" while stuck in Kurenai's Yaoi Yaoi Paradise genjutsu was hilarious.
To put simply the two were barely on speaking terms anymore.
Anko felt a gentle nudge in her side as Kurenai took her away from the happy memory in her mind. "Why are you here anyways Anko? Run out of things to do at I&T already its barely passed noon." she asked.
With a light giggle Anko nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah Ibiki says with the lack of vict-subjects I'm free to do as I please so I came here for a few missions."
A small frown gracing her features Kurenai asked "What about Mizuki I thought he was brought to you guys last night surely you still have work you can do with him?"
Anko shook her head. "I didn't get to tell you but-"
The gathered jounins turned once more when they heard the doors to the office slam open to find a pair of near hysterical chunnin's one of them carrying a piece of paper that he was waving in the air. "Hokage-sama!" the one with the paper shouted.
Looking up from his desk the wizened village leader looked at the duo. "Yes whats the matter Izumo, Kotetsu, that you needed to barge into my office?" the two chunnin had the grace to look sheepish at being called out but quickly answered.
"Hatake Kakashi has just been admitted to the hospital's ICU! From the reports his injuries were caused by one of his students!" the one not holding the paper Kotetsu shouted.
"NANI!" the jounins cried as one. While the hokage nodded sagely.
"I was aware of this you two can return to your posts."
"Hai Hokage-sama!" the two as quickly as they appeared vanished out the doors leaving the group of astonished jounins to process the information. Hatake Kakashi one of the villages most elite jounin's had been sent to the hospital in critical condition by a freshly graduated academy student.
Sarutobi Asuma broke the ice as he brought a cigarette to his lips with a chuckle. "Well it looks like the Uchiha is a prodigy if not more." his words were greeted with a small chorus of hai's and nods though most still couldn't wrap their minds around the idea.
"No Asuma, Kakashi's wounds were not caused by the Uchiha." the sound of necks snapping as heads turned to face the hokage echoed throughout the room.
"Excuse me Hokage-sama but if not the Uchiha who could have done such a thing." Kurenai spoke up from Anko's side. While Anko planned to visit Kakashi in the hospital and rub his defeat in his face.
"Uzumaki Naruto."
Dead silence.
Slowly quiet murmurs spread through the room, all the ninja in the village had heard about how Naruto had figured out a way to release the Kyuubi from the seal. Many in the room were not comfortable with the idea that the only thing holding the beast at bay was a 13 year old child and had accepted the news begrudgingly. The council had fought tooth and nail to keep him from leaving the village wanting to cultivate his seeming bond with the demon into a weapon. The Hokage himself had visciously stomped out those ideas saying that Naruto had payed for the crimes he committed 8 years ago and wanted to become a shinobi.
Anko looked at the hokage and slowly nodded. She had seen the carnage left behind from the fight with Mizuki and could believe it if just barely that Naruto had defeated Kakashi.
"I have proof if you don't believe my words." the hokage silenced the whispers while pulling out the crystal orb he used to keep an eye on the village. With the sound of scampering feet the people in the room gathered around the viewing sphere.
With a few quick hand-signs the orb glowed a brilliant blue and showed the events that had occurred at training ground #3.
Light laughs occurred accompanied by face-palms by Kurenai and Anko as the group watched the pink haired girl, Haruno, fall prey to a simple genjutsu.
Words of approval greeted the Uchiha's display of Jutsu and taijutsu, a few gasps were heard when he nearly retrieved one of the bells. Though quiet words of disappointment followed shortly thereafter when Kakashi incapacitated the raven haired youth with a jutsu of his own.
Anko nearly drooled and she noticed that Kurenai had a light blush on her face when Naruto appeared after, without his cloak. The boys physique screamed masculinity and power, toned abs and rippling muscles under taunt flesh. There were even a few approving nods from the two women's male compatriots, the boy's muscle tone was that impressive.
The group listened to the conversation that occurred between the blonde youth and Kakashi.
Kurenai brought her hands to her mouth when Naruto punched the boulder utterly annihilating it.
When Naruto vanished a few gasps were heard, to turn into sounds of shock when he appeared in front of Kakashi aiming a kick towards the silver haired mans head. Silence followed as the battle started in earnest. They watched in awe as Naruto completely dominated the flow of the fight. As it came to a close a few of those surrounding the globe began to comment on the boys brutality.
Though Anko found herself deep in thought and she voiced the biggest question in her mind verbally.
"So, why is the gaki a gennin?"
The jounin in the room turned away from the globe as Naruto dropped Kakashi to the ground and looked at the hokage expectantly. The man picking up his pipe looked at them with solemn eyes and took a small puff. "He wanted to be put on a team saying that he didn't want to be shown any favoritism."
Anko didn't buy that at all. Something about that didn't make any sense.
"So who will be replacing Kakashi as team 7's sensei?" Kurenai asked.
Still trying to figure out what was bugging her about what the hokage had said, Anko didn't notice the heads turning towards her. When she did she looked at them with wide eyes. "Who me? No way am I taking care of a bunch of brats!"
"Well you did say you wanted a team of your own the last time we gathered." Asuma stated bringing a hand up to cup his chin. "This is a perfect opportunity."
"B-but I was drunk I didn't know what I was saying, Nai-chan help me out here!" Anko pleaded desperately clinging to the front of her friends white bandage outfit. "Tell them I don't do well with snot nosed little kids!"
Giggling at Anko's antics Kurenai smirked and Anko felt a sickening ball form in her stomach.
"I agree with Asuma this is a good opportunity for you and I think it would be good for you as well to have a bit of extra responsibility." the crimson eyed woman ignored the venomous look she was receiving and the soft muttering of "traitor." that came from the now near tearful Anko. Turning to the hokage Kurenai asked. "What do you think Hokage-sama?"
Anko's head wrenched in the elder mans direction praying that he would shoot the idea down.
"I agree, it is a good idea." Anko cursed at this. "Well if no one has any objections Anko will be replacing Kakashi as team 7's sensei until further notice. Anko I need to speak with you in private the rest of you are dismissed." the hokage finished with a smile.
Anko shot the retreating back of Kurenai a final glare as she watched the others file out of the room. Turning to face her villages leader Anko noted that she didn't like the frown that now shown on his face.
Anko sighed, why did these things have to happen to her?
"Hokage-sama I refuse to take anything lower then a C-rank mission." She stated with a tone of finality. To her relief the man only nodded.
Maybe this wouldn't be to bad.
Naruto's Apartment
Walking into his room he set the now sleeping form of Kyuubi onto his bed. Naruto still couldn't figure out how she went from wired to dead weight in moments.
Naruto suddenly whirled around and deflected an open palm thrust aimed at his heart while responding with a high kick of his own that the intruder caught and with a flick of the wrist sent him crashing into the wall.
"I am disappointed in you Naruto, you did not notice my presence until I attacked."
Naruto groaned as he pulled himself from the ground. Rubbing the back of his head, he slowly stood and bowed. "I apologize Fujin-sensei, it will not happen again." he looked over towards the bed and sighed, even through the noise Kyuubi stayed asleep. "So why are you here Fujin-sensei?"
The cloaked form of his first teacher walked over to him and wiped a bit of debris from his shoulder. "They are beginning to move and will strike soon. You must be prepared or they will destroy you and all you hold dear." Fujin stated as he stepped away. "I must go, I have many things to look after and cannot baby you during the rough times that lay ahead." with these final words Naruto watched as his teacher slowly faded from veiw.
Shaking his head Naruto groaned and stepped over to the prone form of Kyuubi. Shaking her by the shoulder gently he soon found himself once more groaning and picking his body up from the floor.
"Dammit meatsack why'd you wake me up?" she growled out irritably.
Naruto walked over to the shelf by the bed and grabbed a book, opening it to a specific page he placed his hand over a fresh seal and channeled a bit of chakra into it. With a small poof of smoke the copy of the scroll his clone had hidden earlier appeared.
"Fujin-sensei just came and warned me that they are starting to move, we need to get ready." he said as he walked out the bedroom door.
A feral grin stretched itself out across Kyuubi's face her elongated canines now visible as she contemplated this news. She leaped from the bed and followed in Naruto's footsteps after grabbing a small bag of supplies from the corner of the room that laid on the floor. She had something to look forward to for once in a millenia.
War was approaching.
End chapter 9
A.N. MWAHAHA! I always thought Anko would make a good teacher... as you can see I am not following cannon at all. Though the mission to wave will be taking place just not with Kakashi as their sensei.
Oh and Fujin makes an appearance! Whose beginning to move! No it's not Akatsuki there in the shadows still something else is coming which will be explained soon like next chapter soon! :P
For those of you that think Kakashi was to easy well fuck you! Bwahaha j/k but seriously Naruto has been trained by both a god and insanely powerful demon one for longer than the other but that kinda shits going to get to strong as hell one way or another, that and Kakashi was underestimating him he wasn't ready at all. And pissing Naruto off is like telling the incredible hulk that green is a bad color... (I don't own the hulk either)
If Kakashi had been more prepared it wouldn't have been so one-sided. Naruto isn't godly but he sure as hell is dangerous.
…. OoOoOoO just a random thought! Sexy nurse Ayame OMAKE! Hmm. Should I? Decisions decisions.
anyways as always note time!
Katon: Karyū Endan- Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet. The user kneads chakra into flames, which are then manipulated into a genuine-looking, dragon.
Kami Shinryūgi: Kindachi Myōbatsu- Gods style: Kings Retribution. (IM BAD AT NAMING SO SHUT UP!) One of the moves from Naruto's style pretty fucking wicked if I do say so myself, sadly I can't do better then describe it. Using Wind Step (Kaze hochō ) to break their guard Naruto then immobilizes the target by grabbing the neck he injects his chakra into the target to cause a form of paralysis (like Tsunade did to Kabuto). After this using chakra to enhance his speed and power he uses the most common parts of the body (fists elbows knees and feet) to deal multiple strikes against the chest face and stomach of the person. The final blow being a headbutt. Can someone say "FINISH HIM!" YAY for FATALITY! (don't own mortal kombat either T-T )
oh and for you out there that don't know what hypertension is its the fancy term for high blood pressure. Which CAN occur when your body gets a large dose of adrenaline, so yes Kakashi could have it from being wounded, I broke my ankle once and the pain caused a massive influx of adrenaline in my system to counteract it. The nurses at the hospital had to give me crap for it as well as a shitload of painkillers! …. mmm... Dilaudid (for those of you that don't know Dilaudid is/was considered the Rolls Royce of painkillers, my stay in the hospital was a very happy one!)
See you learned something today :D
Other than that yes I'm doing fine as I slave away at my keyboard for you all. Thanks for asking :P
Pr1nnyDUD3. Out.
