I'm changing the name of Chuuseki no Ryu Kami, with Chuuseki no Ryuujin, it's still the translation though, I just found out about it in my research, sorry…
Chapter 13: The race to the Todoroki shrine! The RemainingLegendary Weapons!
"Whoever you are… I am going to take that sword back to where it rightfully belongs!" Said Naruto as he readied himself
"Heh! You? Beat someone like me? The great Rokusho Aoi? You make me laugh!" Said Aoi as he chuckled
"Such an arrogant prick are you asshole? You don't know me very well do you? Since you have the Raijin, you could be a former Konoha Shinobi. Which means that you should know someone like me." Said Naruto
"You are right about me being a former Konoha Shinobi. But I don't know who the hell you are and I won't give a damn about it!" Said Aoi dashing towards Naruto
Aoi gave a vertical slash and Naruto blocked the blow. The others could only hear the sound of lightning clashing with chakra
"What are you doing? Go! Leave without me! I'll catch up as soon as I get this over with!" Said Naruto and the three Genins nodded with Idate. Running towards the second checkpoint of the race
"Kid you are still too young to take me down!"
"This kid could kick your ass everyday!" Naruto replied. Naruto then parried the Aoi's sword and performed a vertical slash. Aoi saw this and jumped to the side. Naruto went after him. Aoi went for a vertical strike again and Naruto sidestepped the attack. Naruto then countered by going for a horizontal slash. Aoi leaned back and gave Naruto his own vertical slash. Naruto jumped and did a forward midair roll. Naruto then aimed a vertical strike at Aoi. Aoi again evaded to the left and Naruto to follow suit.
Naruto and Aoi ran left as they expected each other to attack. Naruto and Aoi crossed each other and gave each other powerful slashes. Neither lands a hit towards the other. Aoi then had enough and started to use his umbrella
"Ninpo: Senbon no Ame! (Raining needles)" Said Aoi as he launched the umbrella towards the air. Naruto saw this and used a series of handseals
"Katon: Housenka no Jutsu! (Fire Element: Mythical Fire Flower Technique)" Said Naruto and he breathe out fireballs that intercepted Aoi's needles
"Hah! Fooled you!" Said Aoi as he tried to slash Naruto. Naruto saw this and blocked Aoi's attack
"It seems that you underestimated me Rokusho Aoi. Let me tell you a secret, Actually, do you remember the incident that happened 12 years ago?"
Aoi then grew in shock realizing as to who he is facing currently as to what Naruto was saying, "No… No! Don't tell me that you're-"
"That's right, it's me the container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, Uzumaki Naruto"
"T-That's impossible! That demon disappeared over 7 years ago!" Said Aoi
"Yeah, well guess what? Uzumaki Naruto's back! This time, he kicks your ass!" Said Naruto as he yet again unleashed a powerful slash. Aoi jumped up and attacked once again. This time, Aoi lost his confidence and was screaming profoundly with every slash that he made
"What's the matter Aoi? Too scared? Scared of my power?" Asked Naruto as he evaded Aoi's attack by ducking. Naruto then countered his attack aiming at the Sword.
What happened next surprised Aoi. Naruto's attack not only rendered him vulnerable; Raijin also was gone from his hands. Naruto had disarmed him.
"Now we end this!" Said Naruto grabbing the hilt of the Raijin. The Raijin reacted and the lightning blade appeared
"Die from which you hunger for! Kenjutsu Ougi: Daizankuusen! (Sword Arts master move: Great Sonic slash)" Said Naruto and he swiped his sword with much force. The swords then with chakra, unleashed a high pressure cut at Aoi who was blown back and his body was marked with a cross slash. Aoi's corpse was seen with Aoi's terrified face.
"Rokusho Aoi, your actions upon Konoha were grave. For that, I gave you what is due to you." Said Naruto walking away from the bloody mess. Heading towards his comrades.
"Let's go, we should catch up with Uchiha-san and the others" Said Naruto
"You think they'd be alright?" Asked Haku
"They'll be fine." Said Gaara trying to reassure
"Let's go." Said Naruto as they ran to where Sasuke and he others were
Team 7:
"Good job, where almost near the finish line. We should be there in a couple of minutes" Said Sakura
Team 7 was running with Idate until they were about to cross the bridge.
With their trip there, they encountered 3 familiar ninjas.
"These guys again? I thought Naruto-san and the others took care of them!" Said Hiroshi
"Heh… It was as sure as hell that those three were not your average Genins. They were tough all right… But they didn't know the advantages of Ame Nins and Kiri Nins in water. We dived very deep and was able to reach the shore without being noticed while your attention was with Aoi." Said one of the Ame Nins.
"Is that so? You were just lucky. He was just so angry back then for pissing him off." Said Sasuke
"That's right, psychologically speaking, if ever there are heightened emotions such as anger, the more prone is someone to human mistakes." Said Sakura
"So are we gonna do this or not? You guys are like weeds… A whole lot of pain in the ass! You guys better be ready! We are a lot better than the last time we fought!" Said Hiroshi, stretching his left arm around and around
"Idate, go on ahead. We'll take care of these guys. Be sure to win that race." Said Sasuke
Idate nodded and left towards the bridge
"Cocky brat! We'll take care of you! Ninpo: Gunryo Bunshin! (Ninja art: Clone army)" Said one of the Ame Nins
"You guys have no taste do you?" Asked Sasuke as he activated his bloodline limit
"Sharingan!" Said Sasuke as his eyes turned red revealing 2 commas at each eyes
"They are all clones… They must be underground again" Said Sasuke
"Really? Well then I won't fall for the same trick twice and I'm pretty sure that they haven't seen this one before!' Said Hiroshi revealing a kunai with an exploding note attached to the hilt. Hiroshi threw it up and used a series of handseals
"They haven't seen this technique yet because I haven't used this against them! Ninpo: Bakuhatsu Kunai Ame no Jutsu! (Ninja art: Raining Explosive Kunai Technique)" Said Hiroshi as he finished his handseal sequence revealing a large number of Kunais heading downwards. The three Ame Nins quickly saw it and tried to run away as fast as they could.
With the Kunais making contact, the Kunais immediately exploded. And the three were blown back two of the Ame Nins were knocked out. There was the only one remaining
"Alright! Group attack! I say we go for trap formation!" Said Hiroshi
"No we go for Taijutsu… There is only one Shinobi left and we need to conserve chakra and materials." Said Sasuke
"Eh? Taijutsu? Oh, alright… Sakura, you stand in middle." Said Hiroshi feeling a bit disappointed
Sakura was dazed at first, did she heard Sasuke right? She would assume command at a critical condition like this? There was just no friggin' way…
"Okay… Let's go." Said Sakura as she assumed to occupy the middle with Sasuke and Hiroshi. Sakura raised her hand and then…
"Tee-mu Seven-nuu Taijutsu Fo-me-shon! Hajime! (Team 7 Taijutsu formation! Commence!)" Said Sakura as the three dashed forward with good even speed.
'Hell yeah! I always wanted to say that!' Yelled Inner Sakura in her head
This time, Hiroshi was the first to change direction going left at a faster velocity. Hiroshi arrived to the Ame Nin's right and said, "BOO!"
The Ame Nin jumped up scared as he saw Hiroshi's fist connecting with his face. The Ame Nin stepped back feeling the blow and Hiroshi let go of another punch aiming this time, to the Ame Nin's gut. The Ame Nin coughed up blood. But Hiroshi wasn't done yet; he then started to grab the Ame Nin's feet and began to spin throw him towards Sasuke who was coming fast. Hiroshi let go after his third spin and it was Sasuke's turn now, Sasuke caught the Ame Nin by doing a high kick sending him upwards. Sasuke jumped up and used the initial, Kage Buyou (Leaf Shadow Dance)
"Shishi Rendan! (Lion Combo)" Said Sasuke giving his famous Taijutsu attack and finishing it with a heel strike. Sasuke immediately jumped, as Sakura was the finisher
"Hi-ru Kakou! (Heel Drop)" Said Sakura as she used her strength and precise chakra control to hit the target and the target was blown away hitting a tree nearby
"Taijutsu Fo-me-shon, seko! (Taijutsu Formation, Success!)" Said Sakura angrily raising her fist
"Well I see you guys are getting better. Good job…" Said Naruto as he approached with his team towards Team 7
"Heh… It was cake!" Said Hiroshi
"Anyway, thanks to you three, the mission was a complete success! I just saw Idate crossing the finish line first! So we now go to Jirochou-san's place and we'll have a party there!" Said Naruto as the six ran off towards the finish line
Akagi Complex:
There was a whole lot of commotion going on at the Akagi complex; the race was one by one of Jirochou's most loyal men, Idate.
Idate was happily enjoying his meal until the six approached him
"What is it?" Asked Idate
"Nah, just curious… By any chance, are you related to Morino Ibiki?" Asked Naruto putting a piece of Maki (Sushi Roll) into his mouth
"Ibiki? Why he's my brother! How do you know him?" Asked Idate
"Aside from his well known interrogations, mental punishments, and a complex riddler, he was the guy who made us take the first exam in the Chuunin Exam. Did you know he's a sadist?" Said Hiroshi
"Oh? Did you guys pass his test?" Asked Idate raising an eyebrow
"Yeah, we did… It was a bit hard though." Said Hiroshi
"No way! You? Pass the test? Hah!" Said Idate chuckling a little
"Hey, hey! I passed the test! That was why I made it up until the preliminary matches." Said Hiroshi who was pouting
"Thanks for telling Idate-san" Said Naruto as they separated and went on towards home.
"Idate, you did a great job." Said Jirochou patting the boy's back
"Yeah… Thanks Boss" Said Idate looking at the six figures
"Something on your mind?" Asked Jirochou
"Actually boss, I'm a little jealous of those guys."
"What for?"
"They seem to be headstrong even in a dire situation… I hope I get to be like them someday."
"You already are lad, you already are" Said Jirochou as he went back in and Idate looked at his boss
'Thanks boss." Said Idate as he smiled and went back inside also to join the fun
Konoha, Hokage Tower:
" I see that the mission was a success." Said Tsunade
"Yeah, and also, I have retrieved this with me along." Said Naruto placing Raijin at Tsunade's desk
"Raijin? My uncle's sword? Where did you find it?" Asked Tsunade looking surprised
"We found out that the Raijin was held by the former Konoha Nin, Rokusho Aoi whom we met in the mission. He was then an Ame Nin. We fought and I won and I got the sword"
"Good work. I'll just keep this and-"
"Wait, we'll need that sword to be handled by someone."
"Oh… I thought we should place it at the Hokage Stock room to be kept."
"Tsunade-sensei, you really are getting old, don't you remember what we talked about?"
"Ah of course! I forgot. This stress from paperwork is really getting to me. Anyway, who do you have in mind to handle this sword?" Asked Tsunade
"One person, I met her during the Chuunin exams and she is currently Hyuuga Neji's teammate. You probably never saw her because she got wiped out in the prelims of the final exam." Said Naruto
"What's her name?"
"The current weapon mistress, Tenten" Said Naruto
"Thanks, I think I'll have to call her right now." Said Tsunade ordering from someone in the building to go to Tenten and bring her at the office. She then examined the book that listed the current Genins in the book.
"Ah, Tenten, Good at weapons handling, Ninjutsu is the summoning of her weapons. A very accurate Kunoichi and a long range type. Are you sure that she would be the right one?" Asked Tsunade reaching for a scroll at the stock room
"I'm sure, if she's an expert weapons handler, then swords should be under it right?" Asked Naruto
"You do have a point." Said Tsunade reading Tenten's statistics after she sat down and placed a scroll she grabbed from the stock room, at her desk
"Excuse me, Hokage-sama?"
"What is it?"
"Tenten-san is here."
"Really? Send him in." Said Tsunade to Shizune, her attendant
"Hokage-sama will see you now, Tenten-san" Said Shizune as Tenten entered the office
"Yes, Hokage-sama?" Asked Tenten as she stared at her role model, the great Tsunade
"Yes, well, considering of what had just recently happened, we contacted you here for something"
"What is it Hokage-sama?"
"Tenten, do you know the Raijin no Ken (Sword of the Lightning God)?"
"Yes Hokage-sama… It was the weapon Nidaime-sama used in the Great War. It was a very good sword for the Nidaime who used Suiton Jutsus. But it disappeared over five years ago"
"Yes, I know… But the weapon was recently brought back"
"By whom, Hokage-sama?" Asked Tenten who was getting more and more anxious by the minute.
"By one of my best ninjas, Uzumaki Naruto."
"That's right…" Said Naruto who appeared with Raijin at his hand
"Raijin no Ken… What is this meeting about anyway, Tsunade-sama?"
"I'll get straight to the point, Tenten, you are now the new owner of the Raijin no Ken. With this, you could further improve yourself and increase your efficiency as a ninja."
"R-really? The sword of the Nidaime Hokage? This is great!" Said Tenten as she grabbed the sword from Naruto's hand
"Not only that Tenten, here, this is a scroll that will definitely help you with Raijin's special techniques." Said Tsunade throwing the scroll towards Tenten who caught it
"Use it well." Said Naruto
"Thank you Hokage-sama!" with that, Tenten, started to run immediately at the nearest training ground
"It's like giving a gift to a five year old during their birthdays. There will always be that kind of excitement." Said Tsunade with a little smile crossing his lips
Naruto just looked at it and then said to Tsunade, "Now that the Raijin no Ken was retrieved, what about the other weapons?"
"What are you talking about?" Asked Tsunade
"I mean the other weapons! Such as the Chuuseki no Ryuujin (The Dragon God's pillar)! The Tsume no Ookami (Wolf's claw)! The Harusame (Spring Blade) and the likes!"
"C'mon, you know you just got lucky! You just bumped into them!" Said Tsunade
"I know but… I heard from an eccentric ninja here once, that luck is also a skill." Said Naruto
"If that were true, then my skill sucks at it." Said Tsunade
"C'mon, Tsunade-sensei, give me a good chance! I know about your weapons like I know Orochimaru's which is the Kusanagi. Yours which is the Te no Kami (God hand) and Ero-Sennin's which is the Gohagane no Hoshi (Five steeled Star)" Said Naruto
"I know… Those weapons are kept within Konoha's trove except the Kusanagi no Tsurugi (Sword of the Grass Cutter). But the others such as the Ookami no Tsume, Chuuseki no Ryuujin and the Harusame are missing! And they were considered as one of the most powerful weapons! We don't have clues on to where they were hidden!" Said Tsunade
"Yeah but… Give me time and we'll eventually find them! Something's bound to turn up!" Said Naruto
Tsunade gave a sighed defeat. There was no stopping the boy.
"Fine, you have it your way, I give you permission to gather and collect these weapons." Said Tsunade
"Alright! Thanks sensei! You're the best! I'll gather information as much as I can!" Said Naruto dashing off towards home.
"How much longer am I going to hold onto this? Time will tell if whether or not you will be needed again… Grandfather's necklace… One of the main treasures." Said Tsunade gripping the necklace that hung loosely on her neck
On the way to Naruto's home:
Naruto had gathered information regarding Konoha's most valued weapons. He was reading who held it the last time and what had happened. So far, there was no luck. Naruto gave a sigh… He had to go home and do his research there.
On the way, to his house, he happened to stumble upon Lee who was sweating after a long day of training. His bodily features were marked by sweat and his green jumpsuit was not making it all better
"Naruto-kun! Spar with me! I want to see how my hardwork has gone through!" Said Lee with flames in his eyes
"Oh God, Lee! You look like you just painted your whole body as the suit itself! I swear that I'm going to puke when I see you again in that suit" Said Naruto turning away as fast as he can to try not to throw up his lunch
"But… Naruto-kun… Gai-sensei always said that this outfit is the HEIGHT OF FASHION OF THE YOUTH!" Said Lee gripping and shaking his knuckles and a 'ping' of his teeth
"That's why I'm always saying that your sensei is eccentric. Look at yourself! Hell, look at your ass! I could see the cleavage running down there!" Said Naruto pointing out Lee's problem.
"OOOH! Naruto-kun! You have won for this time! You are now one of my rivals aside from Sasuke-kun and Neji-kun! The score for now is 1-1-0-1!"
"Excuse me?"
"I mean this is a score between 3 geniuses against a hardworker! Meaning, you, Neji-kun and Sasuke-kun against me!"
"Okay now I'm just encouraging you. If you want to spar with me then you'll have to come by my house and we'll do training. Is that okay with you?" Asked Naruto
"Hai! Tomorrow Naruto-kun!"
"One, more thing Lee… Don't wear that jumpsuit tomorrow. It'll be too much for us to bear." Said Naruto turning away and went towards his house
Lee gave a Salute and disappeared maybe tomorrow he could beat his rival at last with using only Taijutsu. Hey, wait… Where does Naruto live anyway?
Naruto's home:
"So how was the report?" Asked Gaara
"She finally agreed! I still need information though. Looking for those things is not what you'd consider simple work"
"Hey, I just saw Lee following you when you were on your way here." Said Haku
"Really? I suppose, I did forget to tell him where we live. He wants a spar with us. I said tomorrow morning." Said Naruto sitting down at the nearest sofa and read the book.
"What's that?" Asked Haku
"It's a book of heroes of this village. I'm looking into the weapons that they held during those times." Said Naruto flipping a page.
"So what's the first that you read?" Asked Gaara
"The Tsume no Ookami (Wolf's claw). It was held last time by Konoha's White Fang." Said Naruto
"Any ideas to where it was placed?" Asked Gaara as he sat down and turned on the TV
"No… The only way we could find that thing is to get inside the head of the White Fang. But he's dead, so that's the problem. We need that thing badly." Said Naruto
"Any traces of the remnants of the White Fang? We could start there so that we can know where it was placed." Said Haku
"Or we could ask the descendants." Said Gaara
"Now that you mentioned it, it does make more sense… We start on the day after tomorrow. Then we could work out on the Chuuseki no Ryuujin (Dragon god's Pillar) since we now know where it is." Said Naruto
"Okay, two days after this." Said Haku
About this time, Shizune came into the house
"Hey! Want to help me make dinner? We could finish early with you helping." Said Shizune and the three agreed
After they had dinner, they immediately went to bed for the next day.
Next Day:
It was Four AM in the morning; almost everyone is still asleep except for one bowl headed genin who had just bought a new outfit
Lee was a little depressed that he couldn't wear what his idol always wore… But it was life… It's hard to accept especially for Lee and his Sensei, Gai
Flashback:
"Ummm… Gai-Sensei?" Asked Lee, who appeared a bit down today, his sensei was already doing his daily pushups. Gai noticed Lee and then got up
"Lee-kun! Have you come by for our daily training? Well then Let us begin our training with warm-ups starting wit—"
"Gai-sensei, I came to tell you that I won't be doing any training tomorrow." Said Lee who was looking down feeling so ashamed as if he had just walked around Konoha completely naked
"Whatever is the matter my apprentice?" Asked Gai with a worried expression
"It's just that well… I challenged Naruto-kun and his friends for a sparring match tomorrow and—"
"Yes well? What is the problem with that? Rivals are the ones who make you stronger!"
"Yes, Gai-sensei… They did accept my challenge but on one condition…"
"Oh? What is it Lee?" Asked Gai now looking quizzical
"They…They………. They………………… They want me to change my ever loving suit that is the height of the fashion of youth for something else more loose!" There he said it. It was the hardest thing that could ever come out of his mouth
Lee felt like it was the end of the world for him, his green jumpsuit was his most prized possession, well, that and the fuzzy eyebrows and the strange bowl cut
Gai was crying now and his sweaty arm blocked his eyes. Lee felt devastated, never once did he make his sensei cry. Gai-Sensei did said once that, a true man knows when to cry… But these guys aren't your ordinary men…
"Lee! Please! After you have successfully finished your training, please return back to that which your heart belongs!"
"Hai! Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!" Screamed Gai as he embraced his student like he was Gai's son
"Gai-Sensei"
"Lee!"
"Gai-Sensei!"
"Lee!"
"Gai-Sensei!"
"Lee!"
"Gai-Sensei!"
"Lee!"
"Gai-Sensei!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! CAN'T YOU FREAKS SEE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING!" Said a voice from nowhere throwing a random shoe at them
Again, not your ordinary men…
End of Flashback:
Lee sighed… It was one of these days that the springtime of youth was being shadowed by something o so distasteful today… He was wearing a standard Sleeveless black Battle Gi, a pair of arm bracers that reached his elbows, a white shirt underneath the Battle Gi and a pair of black pants.
He then reached the Uzumaki Estates… There he waited… And waited… And waited….
7:00 AM:
Lee was asleep at the gates; he waited for three whole hours and saw Naruto and his friends going out of the mansion and stretched their bodies preparing for their morning training
Lee flared up and went into the estates
"Naruto-kun! You woke up three hours late! Youth must never be late for anything!" Said Lee shaking his fist with fire in his eyes
Naruto was stretching his back and saw Lee while he was upside down
"Lee? I never said anything about a designated time did I? And this time of the day is more perfect for training than before dawn, there's the sun and oxygen enters your muscles faster." Said Naruto now stretching from side to side
Lee looked like he was taking advice from Naruto, Gai did say that the perfect time for training is always within morning, it always alerted your body enough for your mind to concentrate better
"Naruto-kun! You are amazing! That is why you are one of my rivals" Said Lee
"Whatever, let's get this over with." Said Naruto and his friends took their stance
"This is an all out Taijutsu battle, no Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and special abilities" Said Gaara as he opened his palms in ready position
"Gotcha." Said Haku preparing for her own stance
"Well, let's begin." Said Naruto preparing his stance
Lee looked around and saw his opponents preparing for their own stances
"Lee, better start now or you will be the first target." Said Naruto
"Ooh! I am sorry Naruto-kun!" Said Lee preparing his Tekken stance
"Good, let's get this going!" Said Gaara as the four vanished in blurs
There were only the sounds of blurs heard around the training field everything was quiet, no fists making contact with anything yet.
Then there was the flock of birds flying up, it has begun…
Lee was the first to meet Gaara, Gaara had no gourd around his back, it means that he will be faster this time around, Lee charged towards Gaara and Gaara remained motionless
Lee gave a spinning kick but Gaara blocked Lee's kick with his open left palm and parried it. After parrying Lee's attack, Gaara spun himself and gave Lee a powerful palm thrust; Lee leaned back after Gaara's attack and backflipped to safety
'He's good in defensive Taijutsu, he could remain calm and let his other senses do the works to counter my attacks. I need to beat him by fooling his senses, he's too much alert for me to land a good hit.' Said Lee to himself as he saw Gaara dashing towards him dashing from side to side
'What? He attacks as well?' Lee looked surprised as Gaara appeared at his side
"Always expect the unexpected Lee" Said Gaara grabbing Lee's left arm and threw him down
But Lee was not to give up yet; Lee stopped hitting the ground by standing on his feet and right arm
"I'm sorry… But I cannot lose!" Said Lee, throwing Gaara back. Gaara maintained his balance and landed on a tree bark. Gaara stood there and Lee went for another attack using a high kick. Gaara blocked the high kick. The block forced Lee to immediately land. Lee landed and looked up seeing Gaara, trying to punch him. But before Gaara's fist made contact, another figure entered the scene. The figure landed in the middle of the two and used a midair-split kick forcing Gaara to jump back higher into the tree. The figure became clear and Haku entered the scene
"Haku-san…" Said Lee as Haku went after him.
Lee dashed towards Haku too and Lee was the first to attack by using another spin kick. Haku jumped up and used Lee's shoulder for extra leverage and Haku was now at Lee's back. Lee countered by using a reverse elbow strike. Haku ducked and gave a sweeping kick. Lee jumped up and saw Gaara plunging towards him with a fist ready. Lee landed on his hands and evaded Gaara's attack. Gaara was surprised at first as Haku was in the line of his attack. Haku saw this and backflipped. Gaara landed on his hands and jumped up. Haku went for a rising heel strike. Gaara blocked the blow and flipped back. Gaara then saw Lee giving Gaara a punch to the gut. Gaara parried Lee's attack by using his feet. Lee looked surprised; He had never seen anyone use defensive Taijutsu like that. Gaara jumped high and punched Lee right in the chest Lee sidestepped, Gaara saw this and spun his arm around. Lee ducked and saw Haku coming towards her with a roundhouse kick. Lee closed his eyes for impact bit it never came… Lee opened his eyes only to see Gaara and Haku locking their legs together because Gaara blocked Haku's attack. Haku then twisted her body and tried to give Gaara a punch. Gaara, tired of standing on his hands jumped up
Lee looked amazed 'Such flexibility, not only that, she also has great speed.'
"Don't look to amazed yet, Lee. You forgot about me." Said the voice from behind
Lee then remembered that Naruto still hasn't shown up. Up until now that is…
"Your good in Taijutsu Lee, it isn't surprising that you could keep up with us." Said Naruto giving a punch. Lee leaned back from the punch and Lee forced a kick. Naruto jumped up and followed with a heel strike. Lee jumped back in time and saw Naruto's attack shattering the earth below.
'What monstrous strength!' Thought Lee as he landed on the ground observing Naruto's small crater
Naruto wasn't done yet, he charged towards Lee and aimed a kick Lee evaded the attack instead rather than blocking. He evaded to the left and Naruto went past him. Naruto made a sharp turn towards Lee and aimed a powerful punch. Lee jumped and Naruto used a summersault kick. Lee backflipped in midair and Naruto used an uppercut. Lee evaded to the side and Naruto tried to kick him. Lee leaned back and landed on his hands and backflipped to safety
Gaara then appeared with Haku; they were on Lee's side. Lee was surprised but remained calm. He composed himself and said, "Konoha Senpuu!"
Gaara and Haku jumped up and landed down safely. Naruto charged towards and Gaara saw this, Naruto aimed a powerful fist. Gaara remained standing and opened his palm. He closed his eyes and Naruto was about to connect. Gaara ducked when the punch was near him. He then stood up and grabbed Naruto's arm and threw him into the air. Haku then tried to give a frontal kick at Gaara, Gaara jumped up and he saw Naruto descending towards Haku. Haku sidestepped and Naruto landed jumping towards Gaara instead. Gaara evaded Naruto's move and landed jumping back. Lee then tried giving Naruto another Konoha Senpuu but Naruto turned around and caught Lee's kick.
"Good work Lee! Now try to escape this time!" Said Naruto and spun Lee around. Naruto ducked and spun around and tried to give Lee a powerful uppercut. Lee stopped spinning in time for Naruto's fist to connect to his chin. Lee had no choice but to block the blow. Lee skidded back and was knocked out
"I think you overdid it Naruto." Said Gaara as he appeared on Naruto's side
"Yeah… That was just too much. Using the Shoryu (Rising Dragon) was too much for him." Said Haku
"Ehehehe… Whoops?" Said Naruto scratching the back of his head
"Let's get him to the nearest hospital…" Said Gaara using his sand to carry Lee.
"Yeah." Said an agreeing Naruto
"You shouldn't use your Taijutsu special attacks on him, he's a beginner in our training sessions. You know why I didn't use Nadareru Kyuuten (Descending Heavens) and Gaara didn't use his Hoshi no Kakou (Star Fall)" Said Haku checking Lee's vital signs
"I forgot… I'm sorry." Said Naruto scratching his head
"You should tell Lee that, Luckily he's just knocked out. He'll be fine when he drinks this medicine." Said Haku handing a bottle of medicine to where Lee's unconscious form was."
"He'll be okay tomorrow afternoon." Said Haku
"I'm sure he will" Said Naruto dropping him off to the nearest hospital.
"Too bad he couldn't use either Ninjutsu or Genjutsu… We should find a way for the guy to be able to use chakra." Said Naruto and the two nodded
Upon reaching home, Naruto went towards his borrowed book to try and gain more information about the lost legendary weapons. He was still stuck in finding the Tsume no Ookami. He had to know the current descendant of the White Fang or else he'll lose the chance of finding it along with the Harusame and the other weapons. Naruto kept reading the book
Just outside the Uzumaki estates, Hyuuga Hinata had decided to visit his childhood friend, Naruto in hopes of catching up to old times. Training was finished early today so she thought of visiting. She knocked on the door and someone opened the door, it was Haku
"Ah, Hinata-san, please come inside and make yourself comfortable." Said Haku letting Hinata in
"Thank you, Haku-san. Where is Naruto-kun?" Asked Hinata
"He's doing some research, Gaara is meditating right now and I'm creating some pills that will help in immediate medicines." Said Haku.
"Is that so… Then I'm going now." Said Hinata about to turn back because they were all busy and Hinata thought she was being rude
"Don't leave yet Hinata-san… Would you like to help me with my work?" Asked Haku. Hinata felt happy, making medicines is her favorite hobby.
"I would love to, Haku-san." Said Hinata as both girls went inside the room where they were going to make medicine.
Uchiha compound:
Sasuke was tossing and turning… The pain on the back of his neck was too much. He had his left hand clinging to where the cursed seal lay. His whole apartment was a mess as he was struggling with the pain that never came before in his entire life.
"No… I won't… Fall… I won't give in…" Said Sasuke to himself as if he was struggling from someone or something to be more exact, it was the cursed seal.
But everytime he tried to resist, the seal kept on getting even more painful
"I must… Resist………… Need to……… Restrain……… Must not let…… GAH!" Said Sasuke as he fell on the ground clutching the seal even tighter. He could no longer resist the calling of the seal… It was poisoning him slowly. Sasuke never felt so dark in his entire lifetime
"I, I, I, I………… I will obtain power… I will kill Uchiha Itachi… For it is my purpose… As an Avenger!" Said Sasuke standing up and letting the marks of the cursed seal take over him
Sasuke laughed despicably he controlled the seal at first and went out to the nearest area where people don't usually go.
Later that evening:
Sasuke sat on a large tree branch and waited that evening for some people to come. There, Sasuke waited patiently until 4 figures arrived. 'Took them long enough' Sasuke smirked…
