Naruto the 4th Reborn
Chapter 21: Naruto's Roar
Naruto fluttered his eyes open feeling the warm breeze of the wind flow over his body. He slowly got up and started stretching.
The blond then ran to grab breakfast also known as ramen. As he searched the town for a shop he found Shizune walking about with bags in her hand.
"Hey Shizune-san!" he shouted waving as he ran to her.
"Hi Naruto-kun." She greeted him
"What are you doing?" he asked curiously
"Uh im getting some medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs for my jutsu." She replied honestly
"Oh well wanna go for a bite?"
"Sure." She replied happy to spend time with someone else than Tsunade.
They then got to a ramen shop and were greeted by an old man that had his around six to nine year old daughter helping him.
'Who do they remind me of?' Naruto asked himself rhetorically.
"Well what would you like?" the elderly man asked
"Miso Ramen and keep em comin." Naruto replied confident in his order
"Uh just give me whatever you recommend." Shizune replied with visibly less confidence than the blond.
"So… Whats up with baa-chan?" he asked inbetween his slurps
"She has… been through a lot, its just tough for her to see blood. Its one of the reasons she isnt really a ninja anymore." She replied honestly to see his response
"Hmmmmm." She listened in to see his response to see if he really understood "That's fine, I don't care if she has a phobia or anything to blood, I WILL BRING HER TO BECOME HOKAGE!" he declared as he slammed his fists on the bar shocking the little girl giving him ramen
Shizune could only smile at said blond feeling a warmth around him "Thank you for understand Naruto-kun." She said as she went back to eating her diet ramen
They continued to eat in silence, Naruto eating as fast as he always did while Shizune just giggled at his antics and ate in silence. Shizune decided to take a step forward in becoming friends with the blond and spoke up "Uh Naruto-kun…" she trailed off
"Yeah?" he responded making her continue
"Uh would you call me nee-chan?" she replied and got worried after the silence
"Sure thing nee-chan." He replied smirking at her
As they finished eating Naruto paid saying it was only right for a man to pay for the first time. 'Man Iruka-sensei's lessons rubbed off on me a little' he thought remembering his sensei and also Anko
As they got to the hotel they were staying at they found Jiraiya standing outside patiently waiting for them.
"Are we in trouble or something? I swear I did nothing." He asked seeing the saddened face on his sensei
"Naruto, she wants to see you." He replied grimly
"Okay…." He dragged on as they walked in
They all went in the room Tsunade was in and saw her sitting on the floor waiting for them.
She gestured for them to sit and she sat directly opposite of Naruto.
"So am I in trouble or something for using the Kyuubi's chakra?" he asked as that seemed like the only thing that could get him into trouble
"Kid I offer you a wager." Tsunade replied ignoring his statement
"Well whats the wager baa-chan?" he smirked when he saw she got a tick mark on her forehead
"The wager is, if you can beat me when I have these chakra restrictors and strength dampening seals Jiraiya made on me. I will come to Konoha and become the Hokage." She smirked seeing him wager the options. They all sat there in silence for what seemed like eternity waiting for his response
"No." he stated echoing through the room.
"WHAT?" they all shouted
"If I beat you I want one more thing." He said, they all nodded gesturing for him to continue "I want you to let three sand genin in the leaf prison free." He said as if it was a last desperation
"Sure thing kid, if that's all you want im fine with it. Heck I'll even throw in this." She said as she gestured to her necklace
Shizune and Jiraiya wide eyed at this. Jiraiya knew it was gonna be bad but offering the necklace was bad for even Tsunade. "Lady Tsunade you ca-" she got cut of by a resounding 'No' from the slug princess.
"So kid the deal is, we will have a battle in a week and I will wear this chakra and strength dampening seals that reduce my chakra and strength by 65% by the way and if you win you get three sand genin out of jail, me in Konoha as Hokage and my necklace, If I win you and Konoha will piss off and stop disturbing me." She ended and raised her hand for him to shake it.
After a moment of time he ended shaking it to signify the deal made.
"Well that's all, you can all go ahead and do your own things." She said as she walked towards the balcony.
"So pervy sage, how strong was she yesterday?" the blond asked checking he had a chance at the moment.
"20% at most and most likely 15%." The sage replied brutally honest.
"So do you think I can do it?"
"Well if we go by maths it's a 100% minus 65% which is 35%. At now your 15% of that and you need 20% more to be equal so you would need 21% to beat her." He replied writing all the calculations on a paper for the blond to get it
"So I need to double my strength and some?" he asked hoping he got the calculations right
"Yep but that's just the strength and not even counting the amount of experience she has had in her life being through a war."
"Kyuubi says I need to get atleast 6 tails to get there strength wise but tactically he could help me." He replied hoping that would improve his odds
"Kid im gonna be honest. Your odds of winning are around 20% at best."
"Well we just have to increase that by every percent we can cant we?" he responded confidently which Jiraiya just chuckled at
"Yes.. Yes we do Naruto."
"Now im guessing to get six tails of chakra is gonna take a while right?"
"Well actually I've got another idea besides that and there is also a jutsu I need to learn…"

With Tsunade
Shizune was now with Tsunade wondering what she was doing with this wager
"Lady Tsunade why did you accept the deal?" she asked curiously
Tsunade muttered something that Shizune couldn't get "what was that m'lady?" She muttered again "M'lady please speak up." She stated
"I DON'T KNOW!" Tsunade shouted. Shizune didn't understand what her master meant, how could she make a decision she wasn't even sure of
"M'lady what do you mean?" she asked again curious as always
"I don't know why I did it Shizune, maybe its just he… reminds me of Nawaka and Dan." She replied honestly as tears fell from her eyes dripping onto the floor of the balcony.
"M'lady." The medic muttered worried
"Shizune… please give me some time to myself. Please." She muttered out.
Shizune obliged and went to see were Jiraiya and Naruto were but they werent there. 'Training I guess.'

5 day timeskip
Naruto fluttered his eyes open too see his nee-chan on the ground of his hotel room unconcious. He then got up and shook her while trying to remember what happened. He remembered last night Shizune brought him back here to heal him but he didn't remember anything as he slept after he got back.
Shizune now opened her eyes open and grabbed onto his jacket fiercely "Where is she!" she shouted worry clear in his voice.
"Chill nee-chan." He replied calming her down.
"Whats the time?" she asked hastily
"9am I think." He replied not understanding anything
"Okay Naruto we need to go, I will explain everything as we go so lets just go." He nodded understanding
Before they could leave they heard a knock on the glass window and opened it to find a weakened Jiraiya and he explained how the slug princess drugged her and explained the things with Orochimaru.
"Damn Orochi-kun!" Naruto roared
"Orochi-kun?" Jiraiya asked
"I'll explain another time. Lets go." The blond then leapt to where they had to go and Jiraiya and Shizune soon followed.

Somewhere in Tanzaku Town
Jiraiya, Naruto and Shizune arrived to a destroyed part of the town and realised Tsunade broke the deal that they had. "Ok lets follow the rubble it will lead us to her." Jiraiya replied with his expert knowledge in use.
"Jeez I wish I didn't have to fight her" Naruto whined

Deadlands of Tanzaku
The toad sage and his apprentice aswell as their medic arrived to the scene with Tsunade on the ground blood arround her and Kabuto going in for the final blow.
Naruto went in with his sword Kurīnkatto(Clean cut) and forced Kabuto to back off
"I see you're a traitor eh Kabuto?" Naruto responded "Oh and hi Orochi-kun." Naruto childishly waved to Orochimaru
"My my little old genin Naruto is here to play with the bigwigs eh?" Kabuto replied taunting the blond
"Naruto deal with that guy and Shizune protect Tsunade, Orochi-kun is mine." Jiraiya said as he picked up the blonds nickname for Orochimaru and smirked when Orochimaru twitched slightly.
"So Kabuto? How you wanna do this?" Naruto asked honestly. Kabuto dashed in with his Chakra scalpels and tried to dice the blond Naruto tried to use his sword but he really wasn't proficient enough to use it against a low jonin opponent so he just put it away.
Naruto tried to go in for taijutsu but the offensiveness of chakra scalpels was just to strong so he had to go for long range ninjutsu.
"Wind style: Wind Bullet Barrage!" the blond said as he fired multiple bullets at Kabuto. Kabuto expertly dodged but got grazed by a few and got slightly slower.
"Well how about this?" Naruto said as he sucked in air through his mouth making his belly enlarge "Wind Style: Drilling Air Bullet!" the blond roared as he slammed his hand onto his chest just as he saw Shukaku do in their battle and sent a significantly larger air bullet at the medic who tried to dodge but it was too late he ended up having his entire left arm ripped off effectively rendering his taijutsu useless.
Kabuto screamed in anguish as his arm was sent flying off with blood spraying everywhere.
Naruto then went in for taijutsu and didn't give Kabuto time to let up and pressured him even more and ended up breaking his right leg using his Hiken(Fire Fist).
"I'll come back later." Naruto said as he winked and shunshined to where Jiraiya and Orochimaru were fighting and he saw the snake had summoned two snakes.
"Sensei!" Naruto shrouded with a one tailed cloak of chakra shouted as he freefalled from his shunshin position in the air. He started making handsigns to do his jutsu "Boar-Dog-Bird-Monkey-Ram SUMMONING JUTSU!" The blond roared as used up his cloak and summoned a large puff of smoke.
As the smoke cleared a resounding smash happened revealing Gamabunta smashed onto the two snakes.
Jiraiya quickly jumped on the toad "Good job Naruto." He complimented his apprentice
"Jiraiya why have you summoned me?" the toad boss asked but then looked at the snake he smashed "Oh, Snake-teme."
"One I didn't summon you, my new apprentice did and yeah you did get the guess right so lets go Bunta!" Jiraiya shouted
Orochimaru quickly did his handsigns and summoned his own boss summon,Manda.
"What do you want Orochimaru!" Manda roared but then saw his 'meal' "I want 500 sacrifices after this!" The snake then went in trying to grab the toad but it couldn't work as Bunta dodged by leaping to the side.
As the fight between the summons happened Kabuto came in and knocked Naruto who was trying to use an air bullet on Orochimaru.
"What the hell!" he roared wondering how Kabuto was walking
"Medical ninjutsu Naruto-kun." Kabuto childishly said.
Suprisingly, Naruto and Kabuto ended next to Shizune and Tsunade "Naruto I can help you." Shizune said as she hopped next to the blond.
"Alright lets go." Naruto dashed in and started taijutsu but backed out as Shizune launched a mist of poison but what they did not expect was Kabuto to go for Tsunade and he went for said blond and tried to kill her with his chakra scalpels.
Everything seemed to pause until in a puff of smoke Naruto appeared in return of Tsunade using a substitution to replace him with her and he got hit in the right side of his chest.
"AHHHH" he screamed in pain and fell to the ground
" … NOOOOOO!" Tsunade roared as she got up and ran towards the blond slipping and sliding to get to him and she rushed to him and started healing him and saw he was okay if he got healing.
However, she coudnt confirm that since Kabuto wouldn't let here she ended up activating her strength of a hundred seal and started smashing Kabuto using her chakra and ended sending him flying into a boulder and went to heal the blond.
"Please don't die Naruto-kun, please…" she pleaded hoping it wasn't too late.
"I wont die baa-chan, not until I become Hokage." He replied making her tears fall on him as he fell unconcious
"Thank you kami-sama." She muttered to herself. "Now for you she said as she ran to finish off Kabuto with her seal still activated.
She went in for taijutsu and smashed him into the boulder. Kabuto could do nothing as his right arm was gone and the fact his leg was still weak even though he did his best.
"YOUR DONE!" Tsunade roared as she slammed her fist in Kabuto's head smashing his skull and internally damaging his brain with the sheer force of her punch.
"Now to help Jiraiya." She started summoning her own summon and summoned Katsuyu and told her summon to split up and bring Naruto to Shizune.
"Lets go fight a snake Katsuyu." She said as her summon nodded.
Jiraiya and Bunta combined with the force of Tsunade and Katsuyu was just too much for Orochimaru and Manda. Orochimaru decided to cut his loses and just give up on healing Kimimaro.
As Gamabunta's sword got pierced through Manda's head and hit the ground the blond then ran to fight Orochimaru in taijutsu but he ended up running from her and used Earth Style: Earth Wall to stall and he ended up running.
'That fight was less than eventful. I lost Kabuto because of you Minato!' Orochimaru roared in his mind
"Dammit he got away!" Tsunade shouted as Jiraiya got next to her and Shizune came with Naruto slung over her.
"Its fine, we did end up getting one of his more stronger pawns so we did win." Jiraiya said trying to cheer his female teammate up "Plus you arent afraid of blood anymore?"
Tsunade didn't respond and just looked at Naruto and smiled.
"Oh and don't think im coming to Konoha yet." She said which made Jiraiya fall flat on the ground

What did Orochimaru dislike about Minato? Well I will explain it in the shippuden part of this story but I just wanna tease it right now. Thank you all for reading and for now bye.
