I don't own Naruto or any of its characters.
Pairings: Naruto x Sakura x Naruto x Hinata x Naruto and others
Info: This story follows after Sasuke left leaf to join Orochimaru. Naruto and gang manage to get him back and I'm taking it from there.
English is not my first language; please inform me if there are any mistakes I'll correct them.
NOTE: in this fic I made it as Shikamaru never passed the chunnin test.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
AN: Sorry everyone. I wanted to post more but this is what happens when you forget to pay your internet bill. So I'm really sorry for the delay.
Ok. Regarding the Sasuke retrieval mission, here is how it goes in my story. Out of the sound 5 only Tayuya and Kimimaro survived the fight. Gaara was never in it. The reason I'm telling you guys this now is because in this chapter the 2 of them are going to make and appearance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Q&A/Suggestions:
Q: Why did I make Sakura fall in love with Naruto so quickly? A: Ok in this story Sakura has been in love with Naruto for sometime but she did not realize it. In coming chapters I will go deeper into their relationship and all will be explained.
Q: You forgot that Gaara's sand protects him automatically. A: No I did not. Read the fic properly before accusing me of that.
Q: In the story are you ever gonna make Naruto use his sexy no jutsu? A: Yes I will at some point.
Q: I was wondering if you were going to get Gaara involved with anyone. A: Yes. I'm matching him up with Tenten.
Q: Could you please finish the job and get the emotional cripple killed off? (Meaning Sasuke) A: Sorry but I have no plans to kill Sasuke at the moment. I want to make him suffer first. :)
Q: How strong are Naruto and Gaara now? Lower Jounin, Jounin, Upper Jounin, or Lower Sennin? A: OK this is how I see the level in Naruto. I'm sorry if you feel if its wrong but I feel this is how it is.
1: Genin 2: Chunnin (Like Iruka) 3: Special/Elite Chunnin (like those who judged the chunnin exams) 4: Jounin 5: Special/Elite jounin (like Kakashi, Ibiki, Gai, and Anko) 6: Sennin/Sannin (I'm not sure which is the right word) 7: Hokage.
Now as for Anbu's and Hunter-nins they are at jounin level but below elite jounin. As you might have seen they take orders from Anko and other jounins in the manga. Plus they are weaker then the jounins.
Naruto and Gaara's power right now could match up to a regular jounin without their demon power. When they use their demon power they are well above the level of the elite jounin but border lining the Sennin/Sannin. As for Itachi he is at the level of the Sennin/Sannin.
Q: Are you going to do a flash back on how Naruto and Gaara save Miyuki? A: Yes I will do a flashback. It will be most likely after the current mission is over.
Q: Who will get Naruto in the end...Hinata or Sakura? A: Ok this is a bit tricky. Most likely I will have Naruto get both of the girls (I mean common he deserves it). But if you guys don't agree to it then I will only out him with one of them so it's up to you guys.
Q: But it could the chapters be a little longer though? A: Sorry but I can't really make the chapter long. I'm writing this fic as it goes; I do not have any guidelines or a storyline I follow. All the chapters I post are written on the spot and posted but I will try to make the chapters longer.
Q: Is Chuichi the fat guy or an original character? A: He is an original character.
Q: When are you going to bring Itachi back in? A: I will bring him back soon. Most likely in the next 3-4 chapters.
Q: Does Kimimaro have that illness or did you cure him of it? A: I'm not too sure yet. I still have not decided as to what I'm going to do with him at the moment.
Suggestion: Please don't OVER Downplay Naruto's power. I won't over downplay their power. They will only hide they power if they feel it's needed.
Suggestion: I would caution you against making Naruto and Gaara TOO powerful.
They are not too powerful at the moment they have limits.
Suggestion: If you are going to make them so strong, I hope you will include opponents later that are equal to their abilities.
But even if I make them powerful I will make sure they have good and strong enemies. That's why at the beginning of the fic I made Tsunade mention that the Akatsuki have members stronger than even Itachi.
Lastly I would like to thank you for all your support for this fic. Please feel free to ask me any question and I will do my best to answer them.
BTW Please read my other fic and tell me what you think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Chapter 20
It took Naruto and Gaara about an hour before they found the sound-nins they were supposed to kill. But what surprised Naruto was that Kimimaro and Tayuya were also in the group. The sound group consisted of five people including Tayuya and Kimimaro; they were obviously the new sound five seeing as the old members were dead.
Naruto signaled the rest of the genins to stop in a clearing about a hundred meters where the sound-nins were, they were discussing some plan to force the earth country lord to comply with them. Naruto knew they did not have long before they were discovered; granted Naruto and Gaara could hide their chakra signatures very well and would not be detected unless they were within a few meters of the enemy, but now he had to consider the rest of the genins with them.
"Ok Gaara and I will engage them in a few moments. I do not want any of you to interfere in this fight. Unless the fight is brought to you then you can defend your selves. Is that understood?" asked Naruto.
"Heh you can clearly see that you are outnumbered if you fight them. You need our help, so stop trying to act strong and return to being the dead last that you really are." Replied Chuichi.
"I will tell you this once. Right now we are on a mission and I don't want to deal with you at the moment. If you breath in the wrong direction when Naruto and I are fighting I promise you that will be the last thing you ever do." Gaara said while projecting a small amount of killing intention towards Chuichi. Chuichi just paled and kept quiet. However that was the least of their problems. The moment Gaara projected his killing aura the sound-nins detected them, so doing the only thing they could Naruto and Gaara rushed forward to meet their opponents.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
"Konoha shinobi's. What are you doing here?" asked a female sound-nin.
"We are under orders to kill you for acts of war against Konoha." Replied Naruto.
3 of the sound-nins just laughed while Tayuya and Kimimaro looked at Naruto with a calculating look trying to judge how strong he had become. Both of them still remembered the fight they had when Naruto and his team came to rescue Sasuke. They still did not know what to make of Gaara as the not seen him before. The remaining sound-nins were still laughing at the thought of Konoha sending 2 kids to assassinate them.
"SHUT-UP!! Do not under estimate them. One wrong move and you will end up dead." Yelled Kimimaro.
The moment those words came out of his mouth 15 shadow clones of Naruto were already charging towards the 3 sound-nins while the real Gaara and Naruto attacked the 2 senior fighters. The shadow clones Naruto had created were enough to hold the 3 sound-nins for the time being.
"What's your name?" Tayuya asked Gaara.
"Gaara of the desert"
Tayuya and Kimimaro's eyes widened in recognition.
"The son of the dead Kazekage and holder of the demon Shukaku also one time allies of the sound. Why did you turn on Orochimaru-sama?"
"He was a fool who tried to use the sand, and granted the sand and my father paid for their stupidity. I never wanted to be a part of that mission. And as for you question as to why turned on the snake. The answer is simple. I am not of the sand anymore. I am of the leaf." Replied Gaara while pulling out and tying his leaf head protector around his left arm.
Kimimaro was furious. Now only had Gaara insulted Orochimaru but he had the nerve to join the leaf. In an act of blind fury, Kimimaro pulled out his bone sword from his body and dashed towards Gaara. Tayuya seeing that Naruto was distracted used her chance and disappeared and reappeared behind Naruto with a kunai in hand. Naruto managed to turn around and parry the attack just in time with his own kunai. He quickly jumped away to put some distance between him and Tayuya before he began to do some hand seals. Tayuya did not recognize the technique Naruto was trying to do so she started to pull her chakra together to block whatever Naruto was trying to do.
"Forbidden Fire technique! Dance of the dead flames!" Yelled Naruto as he finished his hand seals.
What Tayuya saw shook her to her core. The moment Naruto finished his hand seals his whole body was covered in a bright blue flame, but what was more shocking was that Naruto appeared unharmed from the technique, but the thing that scared her most was the fact that even though he was covered in blue flames his eyes were shining a bright red through the flames. The only people who made her this scared were Kimimaro, Kabuto and Orochimaru himself.
She quickly gathered herself and began her own set of hand seals. But before she could finish she saw that Naruto instead of attacking her turned towards the other 3 sound-nins. He began attacking the 3 like he was possessed by a demon. If only she knew how true it was.
"FLASHBACK"
Naruto was looking up at the Kyubi inside his body. This has been a regular thing since the Kyubi agreed to help Naruto. Naruto now was able to communicate with the Kyubi on a regular basis if needed to. Although the Kyubi could just send Naruto the images and lessons to Naruto as a vision he sometimes needed Naruto to come inside of himself to learn some techniques.
"Oi kid. Today you're going to learn a technique which had considered to been lost for decades. You should feel privileged that I'm taking time to teach your sorry ass. You better be great full" Said Kyubi with an arrogant voice.
"Heh you stupid fox, the only time I'll ever be great full to you is when you roll over and die like a good dog. And besides I'm sure the technique your gonna teach me is so useless that my sexy no jutsu would beat it." Replied Naruto sarcastically.
It had become a game between the 2 of them to see who could insult each other the most. Naruto knew that all the techniques the Kyubi thought him were priceless but that did not mean he had to be nice to the stupid fox. And Kyubi on the other hand like to push Naruto's buttons and grew fond of the snide remarks of the boy. Not that he would ever admit it of course.
"Ok the technique is called the dance of the dead flames. Before it became a lost technique most shinobi's considered it a forbidden technique as it was a very dangerous and dark jutsu. Only those with extreme chakra could use this technique. The reason most shinobi's considered this technique is because to use it you must actually sign a blood contract with lower level demons or spirits. When you succeed in doing this and use the jutsu you temporarily give you body to the demon or spirit to control during the fight. The spirit takes the form of a flame which engulfs your body and it will proceed to rip apart anything that stands in its way. Like I said it not only takes a lot of chakra but also it takes a lot of mind control. If the person cannot control the demon or spirit he will be overcome by it and continue on its rampage until the user duns of chakra or the will to live which usually does not take long. You however do not need to worry about the contract or the demon taking over as I'm residing inside of you. Now before I send you the hand seals do you have any questions?" asked the Kyubi with a growl.
"Yeah what do you mean I don't need to worry about the demon." Asked Naruto.
"Are you stupid or are you an idiot? Asked Kyubi.
"I'm an id.....hey!!!" yelled Naruto.
The Kyubi just grunted an amused laugh before answering.
"You fool! I'm one of the lords of the underworld. Do you actually think that those low level demons and spirits could go against me? And moreover now that I'm sealed inside of you they will recognize you as me when you summon them. Can you understand that little thing you call a brain in your thick skull!" Asked the Kyubi.
Naruto just nodded at he realized the meaning of the Kyubi's words. Soon his mind was flooded with the images of the hand seal. It took Naruto almost 2 weeks to learn the technique perfectly.
"END OF FLASHBACK"
Sakura Hinata and the rest of the genins just watched in awe as Naruto ripped through the 3 sound-nins. To the 2 girls he was a vision of violent beauty. It was as if Naruto was dancing rather than fighting, never mind that he was covered in flames and throwing away the attacks and jutsu's coming towards him with a sadistic smile his movements were fluid and light like he was not thinking as to what he was doing and each blow he dealt to the enemy sipped through their skin like a hot knife through butter making sizzling sounds. They knew that it was wrong to think that way but they could not help themselves from the thoughts.
The enemy was trying their best to fend off Naruto but it was a futile attempt. They tried to activate their curse seal but they were unable to as most of their chakra was being depleted at an alarming rate by trying to stay alive. They had never felt a fear of dying before this granted they were not as strong as the previous sound 4 but they could hold their ground in a battle, but today the battle was lost and so was their lives. Before the 3 of them took their last breath they heard a faint whisper coming from Naruto.
"I'm sorry..."
With that 3 of the 5 sound-nins gave their life.
Tayuya could not believe what she had just witnessed, here a mere boy, a genin no less had taken out 3 jounin level shinobi's, although they were not exceptional they should not have been killed so easily. Only one thought was running through her mind other than staying alive.
'Who is this boy?'
Tayuya immediately took her chance as she saw Naruto undoing the jutsu and taking some time to cool off. She took out her flute and did her summoning jutsu. (An: sorry I don't know the name) instantly 3 of her huge summons stood in front of her.
All the genins shivered at the evil chakra that projected from the 3 summons. They all felt that Naruto needed help as he just used a lot of chakra in his previous jutsu, but looking at him they realized that he was not even the tiniest bit scared. In fact he looked happy that someone was able to give him a good fight. Tayuya played a eerie tune and the 3 summons charged towards a standing Naruto.
