The vortex…
"The Mizukage will pay for that…" – Kisame Hoshigaki
A new day arrived in Sunagakure, everyone was heading to work and enjoying the new day. Even Gaara for the first time enjoyed the sight of a new day, he was in his office at the moment signing papers, he didn't mind, today might be a special day he thought to himself.
"NOOOOO!!!!!" was the scream that was heard throughout the entire village.
Gaara sighed as he knew the only person who could yell like that and why. It was Naruto and for sure he found out that he didn't have anymore ramen in his refrigerator, Gaara smirked as he remembered entering his house last night and stealing his ramen, he liked it, he had to admit it, ramen wasn't all that bad.
Gaara took out a cup of hot ramen and started eating while looking out the window. He started to laugh insanely, Temari and Kankuro ran into the room thinking that Gaara lost control over Shukaku. Gaara turned to them and snickered.
"Did I scare you?" he asked "I am sorry but I just love to hear Naruto whining over his lost ramen which I happen to have it right here." he said raised the cup of ramen and started laughing insanely again while eating.
Temari and Kankuro backed away slowly and left the room, Gaara calmed down as the door closed and ate his ramen, or should I say Naruto's ramen, in complete silence.
----Suna, Naruto's house----
Naruto was running around the kitchen searching every drawer desperately. Hinata walked in yawning and saw Naruto's face.
"Naruto-kun what's (yawn) wrong?" she asked sleepily
Naruto looked at the girl. "I can't find my ramen!" he said desperately
Hinata giggled at his response. "Naruto-kun can't you eat something else for change?"
"I can't…ramen is too delicious." he wined.
Hinata shook her head smiling. "I will have to work on that habit of your Naruto-kun." she said playfully. "I'm going to take a shower." and with that she left the kitchen towards the bathroom.
Right after Hinata left Hoshi came in and saw the mess. She took a seat at the table and studied the blonde boy as he was running all around the kitchen with a desperate look on his face.
"Is there something wrong Naruto?" asked the woman
"My ramen!" he cried "I can't find my ramen!"
Hoshi sighed and shook her head. "It's time you eat something else." she said sternly and got up. She took some eggs from the fridge, bacon, butter and salami. She started preparing breakfast right after she tied Naruto to the chair in the kitchen. All the time she was cooking Naruto kept wining over his ramen and saying things like who would be so cruel to steal his ramen, unknown to him a young Kazekage sneezed at that moment.
Hoshi put the breakfast on the table and untied Naruto. She took a seat and started to eat. She suddenly looked up and saw Naruto wasn't eating.
"What's the matter?" she asked curiosity in her voice
"There is this guy that is taking important information from the Kazekage's office and I don't know for whom." he said serious
"Did you track him?"
"Yes, all night." he sighed
Hoshi looked at her food and started thinking of ways to find out who he was working for. Naruto was thinking in the same lines, but they got nowhere.
"How about you just keep a eye on him, sooner or later the one who he is working for will appear right?" asked Hoshi and Naruto nodded
She smiled being able to help Naruto, after all he was the one that set her free from the caged bird seal, she felt like she needed to continue helping him and when he found out that he plans on forming a new hidden village she was happy thinking that she might be able to join a village where she wont be treated as a slave and where she can be free.
Just then Hinata came back in the kitchen in the clothes Temari picked for her, Naruto started at her again for a couple of minutes. He was kicked out of his dreaming stated when he felt something touch his lips. His eyes widened and his vision cleared as he saw Hinata kissing him. He returned the kiss and after a few seconds they parted.
"You know, you just need to ask if you want to Naruto-kun." said Hinata blushing
"I know, but sometimes I just get lost at the sight in front of me." responded Naruto grinning.
Hinata sat down and started eating, before she was done Hoshi was already washing her dishes and she offered to wash Naruto's as well which after much argue Naruto accepted. Hinata was feeling much better now, her cold was long gone and she could breathe normally now.
Naruto was happy when he found out that she wasn't sick anymore, he could hug and kiss her now without fear that he will get sick as well, he was also happy that maybe they will be able to resume they're work together again.
Naruto then remembered he had to meat his team at the training grounds, he looked at the watch and saw he was 30 minutes late. He started panicking, he ran to his room and put his Jounin vest on and tied the forehead protector on his forehead. He ran out the door towards the training grounds, he left behind a stunned Hinata and Hoshi as he left so fast without a word.
The only thing that was going through Naruto's mind when he was running was that he was turning into Kakashi with his tardiness and he didn't want that. He felt something in his vests pocket. He stopped and reached inside his pocket and took out a scroll that read Furui shuhou: Uindo Soshi (Ancient Technique: Wind elemental). He put the scroll back in his pocket grinning and started running again.
He arrived at the training grounds and saw his team already waiting for them.
"Sorry I'm late." he said feeling dumb that he is starting to sound like Kakashi "But I have a really good explanation."
"No need sensei." said Henelios "It happens, just don't let it happen too often."
"Yeah and besides you where only 30 minutes late." said Danius
Naruto smiled at his team and instructed them to start training. He instructed Danius and Henelios to do a sparing match while he called Matsuri to come and help him with something. The moved towards on of the posts and Naruto took out the scroll.
"Now Matsuri." he said "you know more about wind jutsu's than me, so I need help with this jutsu." he handed to scroll to Matsuri to read.
"Naruto-sensei." she said with concern in her voice "The scroll says that doing this jutsu is dangerous because the elemental might not listen to you."
"Don't worry I can handle it." he said reassuring her.
Matsuri nodded and started telling Naruto that he needs to concentrate on the wind that blows around him before he does the hand seals. When he can feel the wind around him and he is concentrated he must do the hand seals and call upon the jutsu's name and keep the ram seal up until the wind which should become very fierce will settle down and create a spinning vortex of some sort.
Naruto nodded and got on his feet. He told Matsuri to back off a little which she did. He started concentrating, he cleared his mind of everything and started feeling and hearing everything around him, he felt the breeze that was barely noticeable, he started doing the hand seals and after he did the last seal which was the ram seal he maintained it. He shouted the jutsu's name and concentrated on the wind around him keeping the ram seal up.
Nothing happened, he stood there for the next couple of seconds, he opened one eye and saw that nothing happened. He frowned and tried again, this time he could feel the wind intensify around him and then after he called the name of the jutsu the wind moved in front of him and started spinning in a vortex, at the top of the vortex there where two golden eyes scanning the area. The vortex was taller than Naruto, about 2 meters and a half, and was thicker.
The vortex stared at Naruto, then Matsuri, and then it spoke it an echoing voice. "Who dared summon me?"
"That would be me." said Naruto stepping forward.
"And what did you summon me for mortal?" asked the vortex his voice still passive.
"Well for starters I want you and your kin to help me in fighting when I need to."
"Me and my kin are a pure soul, we will not fight for anyone." said the vortex his voice going from passive to aggressive
Matsuri walked near Naruto and whispered in his ear. "Naruto-sensei you should be careful, if you enrage him who knows what will happen."
Naruto nodded. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I think you could trust me." he said bowing down.
The vortex studied him intensively, Naruto couldn't read his face as he was just pure wind mixed with the sand, only his golden eyes could be read a little, but very hard. Suddenly the vortex chanted something, the wind around Naruto started to become violent and he found himself lifted in the air. When he was about 4 meters up the wind died and Naruto found himself falling, he quickly called his sand from the sleeves and used it to teleport in a whirlwind on sand on the ground where he was before.
"What was that for?" demanded the blonde
The vortex didn't answer, he started to chant again and the wind started to blow violently again. A large ball of wind shot from the vortex heading towards Naruto. The blonde Jinchuuriki activated his bloodline and analyzed the ball of air, he jumped out of it's way and hear the vortex chant again, he looked at it trying to find any hand seals or just seals but he couldn't find any.
Suddenly another ball of wind shot only that this time it split into ten smaller ones racing faster towards Naruto, he took a kunai in his hand and dodged the first ball and threw the kunai at the vortex that seemed to unfazed when the kunai hit it. Naruto heard something behind him and when he looked he saw the ball he dodged turned and was racing back at him, he looked in front and saw on close to him, he ran towards it and jumped before it hit him, hitting the ball of wind behind him instead. When the two collided they exploded blowing sand in all directions, Naruto landed and dodged another set and balls.
He again heard some chanting and the balls of wind stopped and morphed into smaller vortexes that where only a meter tall, they started moving towards Naruto. He looked at the curious not understanding what they could do, when they got close enough he saw that the vortexes created a pair of arms which they raised in the air and from underneath he felt air pressure pushing him up, slow at first but then going faster and faster. He tried to escape the grip when he found out that he couldn't.
He called his sand out and sent it towards the big vortex, when it hit he didn't even flitch, like the sand didn't even exits, instead he absorbed the sand adding it to him. Naruto got pissed and created 10 Kage Bushins and sent them to attack the vortex, he used one clone to pull him out of the trap, and once he was out he started doing hand seals.
Then clones that attacked found it impossible to hit the vortex, their attacks had no effect on him. He chanted something and a powerful wind blew the clones away making them hit various objects and to disappear. The clones where down but Naruto had finished his hand signs Katon: Kasen (Fire release: Fire arrow). An arrow made out of fire appeared in his hand, the temperature of the arrow was amazingly high, Matsuri who was at a really big distance could feel the heat from the arrow. Naruto threw it towards the vortex, and the fire was sucked in and looked like it disappeared but inside the sand started to merge with the fire becoming glass, the vortex suddenly stopped becoming crystallized.
Naruto approached the now immobilized vortex and smirked. He could have sworn the vortex had sighed.
"Fine mortal, you managed to immobilize me, next time when you call me I will fight for you." he said before disappearing.
Matsuri ran towards her sensei and saw he wasn't bruised to bad, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Naruto-sensei." she said "What was that jutsu? The heat was incredible, how come you didn't get burned?" she asked intrigued
"The jutsu created a arrow made out of fire that draws the heat from the sun if its morning or from chakra if its night. During daylight the power of the arrow is very big and can reach high levels of heat, and I wasn't burned because the one that makes the jutsu cannot be harmed by it." he replied grinning
"But where did you find it?" she asked
"Oh I found it in Konoha at the old Uchiha compound under some old tomes. No one seemed to use it so I took it." he said chuckling. "Come on, let's go back to the team and do our daily missions."
Matsuri nodded and followed Naruto, when they arrived they saw Danius and Henelios completely exhausted, he grinned at them and told them they will start missions now. They started to protest which made Naruto laugh. He motioned to them to follow him which they did.
When they arrived at the Kazekage's building they went inside, everyone greeted Naruto with a smile which he returned happily. He entered Gaara's office and found him eating from a cup, and on the table there where about 10 more cups, looking closely he saw it was his miso ramen.
There was a awkward silence, the genin where looking between Gaara who had his mouth open and his chopsticks near his mouth with noodles, he was looking at Naruto, and Naruto was looking at Gaara with his eyes widened and his mouth hanging open.
The all of a sudden all hell broke loss. "You stole my ramen!" yelled Naruto as he jumped on Gaara spilling the ramen from the cup.
Gaara started laughing. "So?"
"I'm going to kick your ass!" yelled the blonde boy.
Then the door flung open and two ANBU with Kankuro and Temari entered the room. They saw Naruto and Gaara looking at them, Gaara was on the floor and Naruto was on top of him with his fist just inches away from his face, then they saw the cups of ramen on the table.
"Carry on." said Temari shrugging and closing the door behind the group.
Naruto looked at Gaara, Gaara looked at Naruto. They blinked. Then Naruto got up and offered a hand to Gaara who accepted it.
"You will pay for my ramen." said Naruto sternly.
"We'll see about that." replied Gaara smirking. "Here are your D-rank missions for the day." said Gaara handing them 10 folders.
"What?" yelled Team 5
"No offense Gaara but why D-rank?" asked Naruto
"Because I say so, no leave." he ordered. Naruto mumbled something and stormed out the room with the genins behind him. When they where out Gaara took another cup of ramen out and started eating while laughing at Naruto's misfortune.
----Suna, team Hokage----
Team Hokage where in the hotels restaurant eating, most of their worries where long gone, they still treated Sakura like they should, the only person that forgave her so far was Ino. But most of the team still didn't want to forgive her, not yet.
Tsunade was happy that her little brother was safe, she hoped he will have a bright future with Hinata and everyone hoped the same thing. Kakashi and Jiraiya tried to lure him to the orange book yesterday, now they both had a black eye gratitude to Tsunade. Naruto thanked her and left laughing last night.
Right now they where placing their order at a girl with brown hair and black eyes. When they where done she bowed and left to the kitchen. They waited for about 20 minutes when their first set of order arrived. After another 20 minutes they heard screaming from the kitchen, they wanted to get up but they where stopped when the doors flew open and a boy with green hair flew through the door. Everyone looked at him, well only team Hokage since they where the only ones present. The doors open again to reveal the chef, who was none other than Naruto.
He had a spatula in his hand and approached the boy dangerously.
"What the hell did I tell you Danius?" he asked furious
"Umm…hehe…not to use fire jutsu's?" he asked rubbing the back of his head
"Bingo…" said Naruto.
Just then the doors opened and a vortex of air came out, team Hokage's eyes widened at the vortex moving towards Naruto, Tsunade was immediately up to jump at Naruto's aid when she heard the thing talk
"When I told you I will fight for you I didn't mean extinguish fires." said the vortex in a echoing voice
"Whatever." responded Naruto "I don't know any wind jutsu's at the moment so I thought you where the best solution."
The vortex sighed and disappeared. Naruto took Danius and walked back into the kitchen yelling at him about listening to what he says while the boy was laughing at his sensei.
After their last order was brought they ate in silence when the kitchen doors opened again to show Naruto, the girl who served them, the boy called Danius and another boy with black hair and a katana on his back.
The owner of the restaurant was behind them. "Thank you for your service, I will tell the Kazekage of your help it was much appreciated."
"It was nothing." said Naruto as the genin nodded
They started walking when Naruto saw team Hokage, he saw the sensei's motioning for him to take a seat, he told his team that they can take a half a hour brake. The smiled and ran outside.
Naruto took a seat between Neji and Shino.
"Want any muffins?" asked Kakashi offering him a plate
"No thanks Kakashi-sensei." said Naruto smiling "So what are you guys doing here?"
"Eating, what does it look like dobe?" asked Sasuke smirking
"Teme!"
"Dobe"
"Teme!"
"hmph" said Sasuke turning his head
Naruto laughed, while the rest sweat dropped. "So Naruto." said Jiraiya "What where you doing here?"
"Oh me and my team have…" he paused dramatically. "D-ranked mission." he said like they where the greatest wrong in the world
"It can't be that bad." said Kurenai
"Well the first one was to clean the hot springs, the second to water the plants in the dome here in Suna, the third to help here in the restaurant and the worse is yet to come." he said with his head down
"Same old Naruto." laughed Kiba
"And you know what's more wrong than all this?" he asked and everyone looked at him "Gaara stole my ramen and ate it." he said with sadness. Everyone dropped anime style with a big sweat drop.
"What?" asked Naruto confused "Can't a boy enjoy his ramen?"
"I think you enjoy it too much Naruto." stated the obvious Kakashi. He then took out his orange book and started reading as he finished eating. This made Kurenai give him a smack on the head
"Not at the table you pervert." she said
"Ow that hurt." wined the copy cat
"Anyway…" started Asuma "Naruto tell me what was that thing that was behind you a few minutes ago when you yelled at your genin?"
"Oh that?" he asked "That is a wind elemental, I called it with a ancient technique." he said proudly
"From where?" asked Tsunade
"I won't tell you, but I can tell you that I have a lot of ancient techniques up my sleeve." he said wit ha foxy grin
Tsunade sighed, she knew she couldn't take the information out of it so she dropped it.
Naruto got up to leave when he turned to Sasuke and looked at him. "Sasuke I trust you a little more now so I can give you this." he threw a scroll at him which the boy caught and looked at it curious
"It's called Katon: Kasen and it can come in handy." Sasuke smirked and nodded his head as a thank you.
"Naruto." said Neji
"Yes?"
"How is Hinata doing?" he asked with concern
"Well Hoshi is training her in the Hyuuga way, and she is learning really well, you should be proud Neji." replied the boy grinning
"I am Naruto." said Neji smirking
Naruto bid his farewell to everyone except Sakura who he had ignored the entire time and left the restaurant.
----Suna, unknown cave----
"That's it!" yelled Itachi way out of character
"What's wrong?" asked Kisame
"We are leaving, something bad could happen when Deidara meets Naruto and I don't want him to get hurt." said Itachi getting up
"So you want to start moving?" asked Kisame
"Yes, now get up." ordered Itachi which Kisame complied. "You know the plan right?"
"Yes, if we meet Deidara we waste him, no exception." grinned the blue faced man
"Exactly, I expect nothing less, let's not fail I don't want to disappoint him." said Itachi remembering a old man smiling at a young boy who was covered in blood and trembling in anger
"He saved me, I will save Naruto for him." thought Itachi as he let a smile appear on his face.
A/N: Naruto has wind affinity, I decided to make him be able to summon a wind creature called Vortex which has all knowledge about all wind jutsu's, Sasuke will be able to call upon a fire Vortex, Hinata a Water Vortex. The rest we will see and you will see why I am doing this in later chapters.
A/N2: This is short chapter, expect the next one to be long…you will see why
