Chapter 11
Changing Fates Part 1
The team was just jumping through the trees keeping an eye out for any threats that tried to conceal themselves. Sasuke had his Sharingan active up front to see through any Genjutsu, Sakura in the middle, and Naruto bringing up the rear.
They were about 500 yards from the tower when Naruto called out to Sasuke to stop.
"Something isn't right…" Naruto said remembering Orochimaru. 'He should be coming for Sasuke, whats going on? Hes just been watching us.' Naruto thought, yellow eyes scanning the area around them.
"Whats wrong Naruto?" Sakura asked walking up to him, one glance at his eyes and she knew they were being tailed.
"Sasuke, you see him don't you?" Naruto said over his shoulder, eyes fixed on a certain spot ahead.
"Yeah, I noticed him a bit ago but figured if he was too cowardly to attack then he wasn't a threat. Thought it best just to get to the tower and move on, if he is worth fighting then we will see him there." Sasuke said as he approached his team mates.
"He is worth fighting, for me at least. You guys go on to the tower, I just want to have a word with our stalker then I will meet you there. Don't do anything without me though kay?" Naruto said with a big smile before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"A Kage Bushin?" his team mates questioned, deciding it best just to get to the tower as they didn't know where their friend really was.
"Don't waste our time Orochimaru, get your ass out here and lets talk." Naruto said irritably.
"Ku Ku Ku, so you found me? And you're a friend of Sasuke-Kun too, maybe he is stronger then I had hoped." A pale white (Man?) said as he came walking out of the shadows.
"Ditch the mask, I was to see your real face when I tell you this." Naruto said not even turning to look at the snake.
"My my, somebody is well informed aren't they? Are you a friend of Danzo? Or possibly a Root member?" Orochimaru said as he pulled away his false face, "either way, you know you don't stand a chance against me."
"Truth is I'm not here to fight. Other then Sasuke, Itachi, and Madara.." Naruto paused to watch for a reaction on the final Uchiha's name, there was no visible one but he could smell that the air around the snake chilled at the name. "There are few who could stand against me." At that the snake began to laugh, hearing such threatening words from a child will do that to you I guess.
Naruto balled his hand into a fist, his joints cracking as if dislocating. His upper lip rose as if a fox raising its hackles to show its teeth, a wave of heat pushed off of him as he grew to eye level with a very shocked Orochimaru.
"You see, I am the Kyuubi incarnate." Naruto said in a deeper more feral sounding voice. 'Damn, that takes a lot out of ya, heh.' Naruto thought trying not to show signs of breathing heavy. "And don't try your five pronged seal, you wont be quick enough to land it. All I'm here for is to show you what you will be getting into by targeting my Team." Naruto said, slowly succumbing to the heavy breathing.
Naruto stood up strait, cocked a smile, and once again disappeared, leaving Orochimaru just standing in the clearing.
'Shit, Kyuubi, why aren't I changing back?' Naruto thought standing in front of the Massive den in his mind.
"I'm not sure… maybe since this is your true self, its becoming your true form as well."
'How the hell do I explain this one?' Naruto yelled angrily at the fox slamming his foot down bringing water raising in all directions.
"you still are an idiot, either say this is a Henge or you can Henge into your self of now." Kyuubi replied throwing him out of his mind at just the right time.
Naruto had been jumping through the trees to make it to the tower while he was speaking to the Kyuubi, thus he didn't have the capability to watch where he was going.
"Naruto…" a red headed Sand ninja said as he saw the blond ninja jumping from tree to tree. Effectively gaining both his siblings attention to the man since Gaara hadn't said his name in a menacing way, but more of a… friend?
Just as Temari, the blond Kunoichi from the sand, spotted the man her brother mentioned, he had come out of his trance like state.
"Ahh Crap!" he yelled as he was plunging top speed they had seen any Genin travel, less than a foot from a tree trunk. The sand ninja just winced as he made contact face first into the tree and dropped to the brush on the floor of the forest a few meters in front of them.
"Should we.. help him?" A male sand ninja dressed in black robes and a wrapped figure on his back asked the red head.
Gaara just began walking to the fallen ninja, his siblings quickly followed.
'Damn fox, why didn't my cloak repel that?' Naruto thought disorientated.
'If it would repel that then when you reached for a Kunai too quickly for example then that would be as well, same as with the ground. You will just have to make up for being clumsy your self.' The fox replied, amusement clear in his voice.
"Hey, are you ok?" The blond Kunoichi asked leaning over in front of her brothers.
"Temari? Kankuro? Meaning…" Naruto said as he looked past Temari to his friend, "Hey Gaara! Are you guys done here? Did you get both the scrolls?" He asked slowly sitting up.
"We have…" Gaara replied in his monotone voice, his sand shooting out of his jug on his back. "Looks like you got a concussion…" Gaara stated simply as his sand shot out towards Naruto.
His siblings jumping back out of the way, eyes wide in shock.
"Thanks Gaara, I owe you one." Naruto said with a smile, it was clear he was nauseous. The sand just crept under him and scooped him up into the air.
"Lets get into the tower… we can drop him with his team then…" Gaara said walking away, his team just watching in surprise.
Yeah this is more of a teaser chapter, more a filler, I got this far now I have to work on a few other things so I decided to just put the chapter up and see how it goes so far!
Changing Fates will have a few parts to it, so I should have them out pretty quick. This one is going to be the shortest, and if it goes as planned the next one will be twice as long and the one after 3 times as long!
I have been getting some pretty good reviews, like one that literally said
"Generic Chapter Review With No Real Feed Back"
I was kind of asking for that one, I never specified anything with the reviews lol.
Well as always
Review = Reward!
XIII/TTR\TAK
PS
I have been getting some reviews about how I mentioned the legend of the Bijuu, it is an actual one as well as Amaratsu, Sssano-O and Tsuki-Yomi, there are some books about all these and that's where I got most of my info from.
I will admit I made the mistake of reading some on wiki though….
Oh well it adds to the story and helps out lol.
