Hey everyone. Before we begin, I just want to say check out A Fox, a Snake, and a Hyuga. It rocks! Well, here is what you have been waiting for. What happened with Kisame and our favorite blond? How will this affect the rest of the fights? Well why don't you read and find out!
"Fool," said Sasuke after a moment. "It's just a doll. They have no meaning."
"You won't say that if you knew the story," replied Naruto.
Flashback:
Naruto Uzumaki was doing the one thing in the world that could calm him down. He loved their sizes and how they felt against his skin. How could he decide which ones he liked more, the small firm ones or the larger ones? One thing was certain; he never wanted to leave them.
"Hey you," shouted a voice that took nine year old Naruto away from his thought. When he turned around he saw a small five year old girl with short blue hair and teal eyes. She was wearing a dark blue dress.
"What do you want," asked Naruto as he turned his attention back to his tomatoes. Naruto had turned his backyard into a vegetable garden shortly after he had arrived in Mist. He had everything from carrots to watermelons. He even had some granny apple trees and a peach tree. Naruto had been working in his garden since it was his day off from ANBU. He had been in their training program for about six months now and needed the break. Right now he was dressed in white shirt with the symbol of the Mist on the back and a pair of blue shorts.
"I want you to teach me how to use a sword," said the girl as she got on her hands and knees.
"No," said Naruto as he moved to the next tomato.
"Please teach me," she cried.
"I said no so please leave." Suddenly, his left leg felt heavier than usual. He looked down and saw that the girl was now clinging to him. "Let go!"
"Not until you teach me how to use a sword!"
Naruto didn't respond. He lifted his leg and started to shake it hoping she would let go. Then he tried running around like a crazy person. He tried everything from dousing her with water to the dreaded tickle torture. He could have used more drastic methods, but those would hurt the kid.
"You sure are a stubborn kid," said Naruto. "I guess there's only one option left."
"You'll teach me how to use swords?"
"No, I'm going to get someone else to get you off of me!" With that, Naruto made his way towards Haku's place. The trip took a long time since he was dragging his left leg. Also, there were many people smirking at the sight of this. Especially from the people who knew him as the Bloody Fox.
About an hour later they arrived in front of Madam Misuto's, a store that sold kimonos and dresses for the women of the village. The reason they were they was that Haku had an apartment right above it. It explains so much, doesn't it.
As soon as they entered, Kanari Misuto looked up from her counter. She was a woman about 45 years old and had dark hair. She was wearing a nice red kimono. She noticed it was Naruto and called Haku down. She knew the drill. Naruto went back outside and waited for Haku.
About three minutes later, Haku came out and was wearing a violate yukata with pink hearts on it. Naruto looked at this and his eye began to twitch.
"What have I told you about wearing that crap," he practically shouted.
"But I like it," whined Haku. Naruto just gave a sigh and pointed at the girl that was clinging to him.
"Just get her off of me," he said. Haku nodded and took out a senbons from seemingly nowhere and pressed it against the girl's neck. She then quickly passed out.
"Thank you," said Naruto as the girl fell off his leg. Naruto then moved to pick her up and place her under his right arm. "Much better. Now let's take this brat to the Mizukage's Tower and let them deal with her."
"Fine, I've got nothing better to do," replied Haku. With that, they headed towards the Tower. Along the way they passed by the Mizukage Fountains. Like with all the great shinobi nations the Mist-nins had a sort of dedication for their past Mizukage's. Each fountain was life size and each had a plaque that listed all of their major contributions to the village.
When they got in the building, two people were arguing with the receptionist about someone missing.
"I will inform the Mizukage that your daughter is missing but…"
"Is this her," interrupted Naruto. The two people turned around and then rushed over to her and grabbed her. After saying thank you for finder her, they left.
"Glad you found her," said the receptionist. "That girl is quite ill."
"Didn't seem ill to me," replied Naruto.
"She has a condition were every time she molds her chakra, she does damage to her heart. They were luckily to have found it out at birth."
"So, she can't be a shinobi," asked Haku.
"Well, it would be too hard for her. Not being able to ever do a simple clone is a huge disadvantage."
Naruto took all of this in. So that's why she wanted him to teach her kenjutsu. It was well know that the members of the Uzumaki clan were the best sword wielders and makers in the village. However, Naruto was still learning himself. That was one of the reasons he said no. The other reason was that he felt that it was just a passing whim for her. One minute it's kenjutsu and the next it's kittens.
It was a week later and Naruto had just returned from a mission. It was a simple one; kill three bandit gangs that were fighting in some town. A little mist here and a few chakra bombs there and he was done. As he walked down the street in his civilian clothes he saw that girl again. However, this time she was in the middle of a circle with older kids pushing her around. Some of them looked like academy students and other resembled rookie genins. Then, the name calling began.
"Freak."
"Loser."
"What's the matter? Going to cry?"
With each insult the girl was pushed around like a living doll. Each time she fell down, she got back up and took the abuse. No matter what they did, she took it. This angered one of the genin.
"So, acting tough are you." He brought his hand back and got ready to give her a hard right. However, he never got the chance. Naruto was standing behind him and kept a firm grip on the older boys arm.
"You must be so proud of your selves," said Naruto in a slow and calm voice. The kind of voice that is full of killer intent and wants to make the pain last a long time. "All of you strong genins and students showing off your strength against a small five year old girl." When he finished that sentence, he let go of the boys arm and gave him a powerful kick in the back. The poor boy was set flying several yards. "If I ever find any of you doing this again, I will make sure to make the rest of your lives as painful as I can imagine. Now leave before I decide not to wait."
The group didn't need to be told twice. They ran like a demon was chasing them. They knew who he was. I mean, how many people in the world have blond hair, blue eyes, and whisker marks? Not many!
The girl looked at Naruto and he looked back at her. Both of them seemed to be at a loss of words. It was the girl who made the first move.
"Thank you," she said in a quite voice.
"No problem," he replied. "I want to ask you a question."
"What is it?"
"Why do you make to learn kenjutsu?"
"So I can be a ninja."
"Why do you want that?" At this, the girl gave him a look.
"My parents are always worried about me. Acting like I can't do anything. I want to show them that I can become stronger and improve myself. Also, I want to protect this village because it is my home." Naruto smirked.
"Even if the treat you like this? No matter what happens, they will only see you as you are now. That is the sad reality of this world." With that Naruto began to walk away. It was better, in his mind, to discourage her as much as possible.
"Your wrong," shouted the girl. Naruto stopped and turned around. "I will become a shinobi and everyone will stop thinking I'm weak or a freak. I'll become the strongest ninja in this village. And if you won't teach me how to use a sword, than I'll just kick people!" This caused Naruto to smirk once again.
"The strongest person is the Mizukage. Are you telling me that you want to become a Mizukage?" The girl looked a little confused.
"The mizuwhat?"
Naruto couldn't help it anymore. He started to laugh. It was too rich. This kid was so much like him, or at least the way he used to be. Same desire to prove ones self and the same dream to become a kage. It took him a few moments to calm down.
"Alright kid, I could use something to do to pass the time." He started to walk away and the girl just stood there confused. Naruto stopped and turned around. "Well, are you coming?" She quickly ran up to him and started to walk next to him.
"Thank you," she cried. "My name is Ren Issui."
"I am Naruto Uzumaki. You can just call me Naruto. No need for that sensei stuff, it just makes me sound old."
"Naruto?"
"Yes?"
"Will learning how to use a sword make me stronger?"
"Sure it will. And you will be strong, strong enough to become a member of the Seven."
End Flashback
The crowd was quite. The listened to the story with interest and wondered what would happen next. Even Sasuke seemed to chill out a bit. The kages were listening as well, except for the Mizukage. He knew what was coming next.
"So you started training her," said Sasuke.
"Yes," replied Naruto. "I taught her as best I could. I trained her so she could handle a variety swords and so taijutsu. Each practice she put her heart and soul into and gave me a hundred and ten percent of her effort. I doubt I will ever see some like that again."
Flashback:
"That's enough for today," said Naruto. Ren but her kodachi back into its sheath and went to put it back on the wall. They trained in the Uzumaki's personal training hall. The walls were full of different swords and each one was different. Naruto was now ten and it was almost a full year since they had started their training. He trained her on his days off and after he was done training with his team.
"Naruto," said Ren in a quite voice, "I was wondering if you would come to my birthday party tomorrow."
"Sure," he replied as he gave her his foxy smile. "I would love to come and see you on your birthday. What time does it start?"
"3 o'clock."
"I'll be there with a special gift."
The next day came quickly and Ren was excited. It was her birthday after all. One by one, her friends came and each one wished her a happy birthday. He parents were watching her with smiles on their faces. When they had first heard that Naruto was training her, they were livid. Her condition was serious and they didn't want her to be put in a situation were she would be tempted to use a jutsu. However, they began to notice changes with her. She was making more friends and the bullying had gone down. In the end, they decided to allow the training to continue.
At three o'clock on the dot, Naruto and his teammates puffed in the middle of the back yard where the party was taking place. Isaribi had with her a necklace made of coral. Haku had decided to give her a battle kimono. Naruto gave her a pair of Chinese hook swords.
"I figure that it was time you got your own pair," he said with a smile. Everyone else was looking at him like he was crazy. What kind of person gives a six year old girl swords for her birth day?
"Thank you," she shouted. She set the swords down for a second and reached into her pocket. "I made this for you to saw thank you for training me." With that, she handed him a little doll that looked just like him. It ever had its forehead protector on the side of its head just like Naruto.
"Thank you," said Naruto.
'Isn't that sweat?'
'Shut Fuzzy Wuzzy.'
'NEVER!'
"I almost forgot about the extra special gift for you Ren," said Naruto with a dark smirk. A second later he preformed the hiding mist jutsu and the demonic mist beast jutsu. However, this time Kyuubi was dressed up in a clown outfit complete with a hat and a bowtie.
"You have got to be kidding me!"
"Now Kyuubi will be doing some tricks for everyone," said Naruto to the children. They all gave out cheers. The adults smirked. It's not everyday that the most feared demon ever does a birthday party.
"I will do no such thing," said the Kyuubi. "I refuse to lower myself to the level of a clown!" Naruto looked at the Kyuubi and smiled.
"Fur ball, walk with me for a moment." The two of them walked to the side of the house, away from the eyes of the children. However, everyone could still hear them. "LISTEN YOU STUPID FOX, I DON'T ASK MUCH FROM YOU SO YOU CAN DO THIS! DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK." Everyone heard a loud smack. "JUST ONE FAVOR AND I GET THIS. HOW ABOUT NEXT TIME I MAKE YOU THE SIZE OF A POODLE, WOULD YOU LIKE THAT? I'LL EVEN GIVE YOU THE HAIR STYLE. NOW, GO MAKE THOSE KIDS HAPPY OR ELSE I'LL FIGURE OUT HOW TO TORTURE YOU INSIDE MY HEAD. IF YOU DON'T THINK I CAN, JUST TRY ME!" Several more smacks were heard as well as whimpering. When the two came out, Kyuubi looked humbled.
"I'll be good now," said the defeat fox demon. With that, he created a ball made of chakra and began to walk on it with his back legs. He then did some back flips and gave a couple of rides for the kiddies. All in all the party was a blast.
End Flashback
"This is pointless," said Sasuke.
"You wanted to know," responded Naruto. "Now, where was I? Oh right, Ren continued to train hard. With hard work, she eventually proved that one did need to be able to use jutsus to be a good ninja."
"DID YOU HEARD THAT GAI-SENSEI!"
"YES I DID! SUCH A YOUTHFUL CHILD!"
"Oh dear Kami," sighed Naruto.
"I MUST WORK HARDER SO I CAN BE AS YOUTHFUL AS HER! I WILL START BY DOING 1000 ONE HANDED PUSH UPS. IF I CAN NOT DO THAT THAN I WILL HOP ON ONE FOOT FOR THREE MILES!"
"AND IF MY ADORIBLE STUDENT CAN'T DO THAT, THAN I WILL CARRY HIM UP A MONTAIN!" With that, that started hugging and crying. Soon that evil genjutsu appeared. You know that one I'm taking about. The one with the sun setting and waves crashing on the beach. Its evil it tell you!
"GAI-SENSEI"
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI"
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI"
"LEE!"
"You know, right now I'm glad I left," said Naruto as he sweat dropped. "Getting back to my story…"
"Just finish it up loser."
"Ah, I was going to do that," said Naruto he sweat dropped again.
Flashback:
It had been three weeks since the birthday party and Naruto had been away on a mission with his team. This time they had to track down some middle aged blond who had a huge gambling debt. This had been considered an A ranked mission due to who that person was. It was late when they got back. When they got to the gates, no one was there and they could see fires in the distance.
"What happened," shouted Isaribi. "Are we under attack?" There was a small boom and Naruto's head shot in its direction. It was near where Ren lived! With that he ran towards her house. Haku and Isaribi ran to get some help. When Naruto arrived at the scene, he saw the dead bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Issui. Near them, and barely breathing was Ren. Naruto moved over to her and picked her up and held on to her. There was a stab wound on her side and part of her face looked like it had been shaved off. Naruto then saw HIM. Kisame, the man who had done this.
"Why did you do this," said Naruto in a cold voice.
"I decided to weed out the useless filth in this village," said Kisame with a smirk. "The weak have no real purpose. Besides, it was fun. I loved how that girl thought she could help her parents. The look on her face was priceless when I killed them in front of her."
Naruto felt anger he had not felt in years. Every pore in his body screamed for the death of this man, this monster. Nothing would give him more pleasure than to rip him to shreds. Naruto felt the red chakra focus in his free and it formed a red claw in his hand. A second later he shot that claw at Kisame, who blocked it with his blade. However, the force still sent him back into a wall leaving a large hole in it. A moment later he got back up.
"Not bad kid," he said with a laugh. "Why don't you come with me? Think of it, the two of us could rule this world."
"Kisame, I will kill you," said Naruto. "I WILL take the Samehada and cut off your head with it." Naruto began to call upon the Kyuubi's chakra when a small hand grabbed his shirt.
"N-Naruto," said Ren. Naruto calmed down and was brought back to his senses. He didn't have time for a fight. He turned and ran to get her to the hospital while jonin and ANBU ran towards Kisame.
End Flashback
"In the end, Kisame got away and Ren died in my arms as I took her to the hospital. The death total was 300, mostly civilians. I have carried this doll ever since. In a way, I am letting a small part of her fight with me as a shinobi like she wanted." Naruto had a sad look on his face, like he was holding back tears.
The stadium was in tears. Neji, who was now sitting in the stands, had rivers coming out of his eyes. The Green Beasts had waterfalls. Even GAARA had a tear drop. The only one who was not moved by that story was Sasuke.
"So what," he said. "She was weak and is better off dead." With that, he charged at Naruto in a fashion similar to Lee and launched a head on attack. Naruto lifted a hand and caught the attack, shocking and stopping Sasuke. How did he do that?
"Do you feel no pity for someone who suffered a fate similar to yours? She watched as her family died the same as you did. The only difference was that she didn't make it." Sasuke was livid now.
"Why should I care? She and everyone else in that village are losers! And you are the most. You left the strongest shinobi village and went to the weakest of the five. Now I will show everyone how weak you are." Sasuke tried to move back but Naruto held him in place.
"I pity you." With that, Naruto spun around while still holding on to Sasuke and then let go sending him several yards away. Sasuke got up and decided to taunt him. He had to do something to get his opponent to lose his calm.
"I bet you could have killed him. All you had to do was call on the fox and it would have been over. But that brat held you back and you're pathetic because you let her." Many eyes were now opening as Sasuke showed them his true character. Ino and the other fan girls became disgusted that they had actually liked him. Many people in the crowd felt the same way. Only Sakura and the council held on to their image of the Uchiha survivor.
"Yes, I could have. With that many ANBU and jonins I could have made sure of his death. But, I chose to try and save the life of someone who was precious to me. And when I see Kisame I will use MY chakra to defeat him." Naruto performed some hand signs and in his free hand (the other was holding the doll) was a ball of mist. Naruto pointed this ball at Sasuke and shouted, "Mist Shotgun!" The mist ball shot towards Sasuke and then split into hundreds of smaller balls. Sasuke tried to dodge but was hit by several of them. It didn't do much damage, but it hurt like hell. If they all had hit him, he might have passed out from the pain.
"Weak jutsu, dobe. I'll show you a real one." Sasuke began to run threw hand signs and then shouted, "Chidori!" Sasuke charged at the shocked Naruto. He remembered that sound. That was the same sound he heard when his sensei was killed! Now Naruto knew the jutsu that had killed the man he considered his father.
As Sasuke moved in dangerously close, time seemed to slow down. They now seemed to be moving in slow motion. Sasuke was a few centimeters from his opponent's chest when Naruto side stepped him and then stuck out his foot. Sasuke tripped and his attack hit nothing but the earth. A second later Naruto's foot was under Sasuke's stomach. With a powerful sky kick, Sasuke was sent up into the air. Naruto then move his fist into position and when Sasuke fell back towards the earth his gut landed on Naruto's fist.
"Killing you now would be a waste of my time and chakra," said Naruto as the ref called the match. Naruto looked up and noticed that several ANBU looked like they were ready to attack. "Besides, I doubt I could walk out of here if I killed you." He looked at the doll once more and then put it in his pocket.
Naruto began to walk to the stairway when he was halted by the ref.
"Naruto will now be fighting Shino." Shino nodded from the stands and made his way down. Naruto decided to ask a certain kage what was going on. With that he disappeared and reappeared in the kages box.
"Hey old man," said Naruto, "what's going on? The chart said that Isaribi was next."
"There was a slight change in plans Naruto," said the old man. "The fights will be you vs. Shino and then Gaara vs. Isaribi."
"Trying to make me lose by tiring me out? Fine, I guess I could humiliate another Leaf-nin." This got both the Mizukage and the Kazekage to chuckle. Naruto turned his back to them, but before he left he spoke again. "I want to apologize for some of the things I said earlier." With that he left, fulfilling the promise he had made to Isaribi.
When Naruto got back down he noticed that Shino was already waiting for him. At this moment, Naruto wished he had a spare change of clothes. Thanks to Sasuke, he was shirtless and his pants only went down to his knees. He still had the strap that held his blade at least.
"Begin!"
At that, Shino's bugs came out in full force and went straight at Naruto. Naruto grabbed his sword and shouted, "Dance of the Full Moon!" The bugs began to hit the rotating blade and many of them were killed. Shino had lost at least half of his bugs and had nothing else to fight with. Calling the bugs back, be began to think of a new strategy. However, before he could think of anything, Naruto had appeared in front of him and began to punch him several times in the face in rapid succession. Shino fell down to the ground and the match was ended.
"So, do you have anymore clothes," asked Haku as Naruto walked onto the balcony. He shook his head. He had given his spare outfit to Hinata and right now he didn't have the time to go to the spot he had hidden her and undress her.
"DO NOT FEAR," shouted Gai who had appeared out of nowhere scaring the shit out of everyone. "I HAVE THE SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS!"
"Please lower your voice," said Haku.
"Very well, my youthful friend. To solve the Naruto's unyouthful problem I give him this." With that, Gai pulled out a green spandex outfit similar to what he was wearing. "I also have this!" Gai whipped out another outfit from his back; this time it was the orange jumpsuit. Everyone just stared at him. A second later he was seen flying out of the contestants balcony and became a star. Kakashi saw this and mentally thanked them. Then he went back to reading his porn.
A few seconds later, Gaara and Isaribi were on the field and ready to fight. Gaara's arms were crossed and his gourd was uncorked. Isaribi looked at him and began to calculate her advantages. There was still a lot of water left on the field from her last match. Also, sand was weak against fire and water. She had a chance!
"Begin!"
Isaribi stared first. "Water Shark Missiles!" Several blasts of water short at Gaara in the shape of sharks. His sand deflected the attacks; however after each one attacked the sand became useless. Gaara's eyes narrowed. He figured out what she was trying to do. He willed all of his sand to shot up above Isaribi. Soon, the sand shot down at her and Isaribi shouted, "Water Encampment Wall!" She was then surrounded by a twister of water. However, the sand didn't continue the attack. Instead it backed off and went for the top of the twister and shot down the middle where it was dry. When the jutsu ended, Isaribi was in a Desert Coffin.
"I give up," she said. Gaara undid the jutsu and Isaribi walked away. She met up with Naruto along the stairways and wished him luck.
A minute later, Naruto and Gaara were having a staring contest. Up in the stands, only two people were left in the betting pool. The Daimyo of Water country had placed a good deal of money on Naruto. The Wind Daimyo had done the same thing with Gaara. Whoever won this would be filthy rich. Many of the people in the stands were silently hoping for Gaara's victory. Some people just never change.
"Before we begin I would like to thank you for sparing my teammates lives," said Naruto as he began to smile at Gaara.
"I only did it because the girl spared my sister," he replied.
"If I didn't know any better I'd say that you cared." Gaara's eye began to twitch. "Maybe you're getting soft." Tick marks appeared on Gaara's head.
"Let's begin," he replied in an angry tone.
"Don't come into this angry," said Naruto in a serious tone. "Let's show these people what we can do. I mean, how often to people get to see two demon vessels fight each other." This took the crowd by surprise.
"I see," said Gaara. "You are like me after all. Except, you are not insane."
"Well, that's a matter of opinion," said Naruto with a chuckle. "Now, LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!"
Done, thank God. Well, in case no one has figured it out by now, each member of the Mist team specialize in one of the three forms of water. Haku has ice, Isaribi has it in its natural state, and Naruto knows some mist and steam jutsus (there will be more of them in the next chapter). I figured it would be cool to do this.
Now it's time for a poll. Next chapter will end the chunin exam and the Mist team will be leaving the village. So, by the time I am done with the next chapter I hope to have a good deal of votes. The poll is for the fate of Hinata. Should I make this a harem or no. Don't worry; Isaribi and Naruto are staying together. Like hell I'll break those two up. They look so cute together. But, I also like Hinata as I said in an earlier chapter, I'm just sick of their being so many of them. She just comes up and says the bit about how she feels and they end up together. BORING! I believe in working for love. But, I don't want to turn this into a bad fic so I'm letting you all decide. I'm so nice.
Also, in Brown Eyes meets Blue, I finally did something I always wanted to see. Naruto using the Harem Jutsu to get that C ranked mission. Well, keep on reading and I'll see you next time!
