Hey everybody, happy mutha fucking new year and welcome to the next chapter. I want to say first off that this one will be the majority of the Tsunade arc done with a little something different going on around the end. I also would like to announce that I made a mistake earlier on in the story, and that mistake was adding in Shion to fast and to early, so I'll go back and change what involves her and simply write the movie in an upcoming chapter. I would also like to say that I have come up with something completely new to the Naruto/DMC crossover world but in order for it to work a certain character has to live and that one is Sasuke.
I know you guys would love for me to kill him off, but let me tell you all that its not that easy. While yes I can just kill him off, but it will also kill the pace in my story writing, as a vast majority of Shipudden is now centered around him just as much as Naruto and it would be to much of a bitch to even attempt it, so sorry everyone, I'm not killing him off…..yet.
I also would like to announce that I am going to involve two of the filler arcs and I'm also going to involve the fifth movie since that has an idea that can not and will not be ignored.
Now lets get this story going
Ch.26 – The Challenge: Old School Vs. New School
In the battle for Konoha, many of the invasions forces were attempting to savor the plan to destroy Konoha and preserve their dominance over the elementals countries but there was a problem in the plan, and that was that both leaders were gone from the battlefield. The Kazekage was dead and the snake sannin fled the scene along with three of his sound four members. The other one was currently in a prison hospital being treated for her wounds while the remained in battle.
The one spot that held the most conflict was in the stands of the stadium, with Kakashi and Gai currently having a small competition on who can get the most kills. Haku was fighting in the stadium floor using a set of tri-chucks that could summon ice, which proceeded to take out the ones the occupied the stadium. Anko fought along side Tenten, using her snake just jutsu's and to everyone's surprise a guitar…That could turn to a scythe and summon deadly bolts of lightning. Tenten was taking out enemies with a briefcase that could change to an untold amount of weapons that took out another large amount of the forces attacking.
Hinata and Neji were currently fighting along side a recovered Rock Lee, who was beyond pissed and was fighting a rabid wolverine within the village square. To those unfortunate to fight the boy fell at the first swing of his sword while Hinata and Neji stuck to their Taijutsu and Byakugan,, while fighting back to back to keep the other safe.
After all Neji had a job to do.
While the rest of the gennin fought, one particular stood atop of the Kage mountain with a serious expression on his face
"It looks like those idiots just don't want to give up, do they?" Naruto said to himself but in reality was speaking with Kyuubi, who was standing beside him.
"Don't worry about it. By the time you enter the fight, they'll be ready to go with their tails in between their legs." Kyuubi said before he turned into smoke and vanished without a trace. Naruto then crossed his fingers and two shadow clones appeared beside him.
"Okay guys, I want this fight to end as fast as it was started. No holds barred rules applied in this situation, so use the transformations." Naruto said with the clones nodding. The clones closed their eyes before they turned into the darkness and light forms with Seishi and Onigumo accompanying them in their change. They then summoned copies of his signature blades, Yamato and Rebellion, and stood along side the white haired boy to await his bringing in another part of the attack force.
Naruto himself bite his thumb hard enough to cause blood before performing a set of seals before slamming his hand on the ground and brought up a puff of smoke before a dragon appeared beside him. The Dragon was light blue and stood on all fours with a set of wings on its lower back. Naruto then walked up to the dragon and hopped on its back, as the dragon roared upon its master sitting on its back while Naruto turned his arm into the Devil Bringer that also summoned Kyuubi in its celestial form.
"Let's rock." Naruto yelled as the dragon took off into the air while the darkness and light clones hopped off the top of the mountain.
This fight was going to end and Konoha was going to come out on top.
(One week later)
A week passed after the invasion of the hidden leaf, and the forces of the alliance has suffered great losses in their village while Konoha escaped with very little damage and very few casualties, seeing as how the managed to evacuate all the civilians and academy students before the invasion forces had the chance to attack them. Currently both civilian and shinobi alike were working together in repairing the damages done to their homes and knew that I would only be a matter of days before the damage would be gone and the village would look as good as new.
However if it wasn't for three key factors done before hand then the village may have lost more then what they already have. The first was Tsuchi Kin coming to their side and giving them the info on what she knew of the invasion in order to become a shinobi of the leaf. To Sarutobi, it was worth gaining a new shinobi in order to help protect his village. The second was the capture of Baki after his meeting with Kabuto one week before the finals.
Due to Kabuto being under twenty four hour watch after Kin gave her info to the Hokage and how Kabuto was an operative of Orochimaru's. The ANBU heard the entire conversation spoken between the two men, though Kabuto seemed to be the only one that was able to sense the ANBU around him. So when Baki wasn't looking, Kabuto knocked him out and fled the scene with ANBU in his pursuit but it was safe to say that Kabuto killed them before they had a chance to capture him. But they at least had Baki, who after twenty hours with Anko and Ibiki caved under the pressure and allowed the village to prepare blockades around crucial parts of the village.
The last blow that was dealt to the invasion force was minutes before the plan even began, which was Naruto stripping Shukaku from Gaara, which left the invasion without an ace to use, which was Gaara using the Shukaku to attack the main portion of the village and decimate the Konoha shinobi. But the boy was now sleeping soundly in the hospital along with his brother and sister.
Then came the aftermath of the invasion and thus caused them to regain Suna as an ally, which was the discovery of the late Kazekage's body along with his two ANBU guard buried in a secluded area in Kaze no Kuni. When the village did an autopsy of the body, it was ruled a homicide that occurred the day of the invasion with the man dying from a stab wound through his stomach. The man must have seen someone he trusted, since a Kage wouldn't have been killed that way unless it was someone he dropped his guard around
And that person at the time was none other then Orochimaru
The Suna council now felt like pawns played in the snakes little game and was now trying desperately to get back in the good graces of Konoha, since they lost a large amount of their forces plus the fact that they had no leader currently.
If anyone chose to attack them now, they would have no chance of surviving what so ever. Some of the council members were promoting an attack to Suna, with the old war hawk Danzo being one of them, but that was shot down by the Sandaime. He had to remind them that they were currently weak as well and they were currently on edge with Kiri with the Yondaime Mizukage ruling the land with an iron fist. If they took out the only ally they had, then Kumo and Iwa would have a field day with them.
The Sandaime himself sighed again before he looked towards the people within the council chambers. Those being Hatake Kakashi, Mitarashi Anko, Jaraiya, Maito Gai, Momochi Haku, Rock Lee, Hyuuga Neji, and Sparda Naruto. After overlooking the group of four shinobi in council chambers, he spoke up to catch their attention.
"Hatale Kakashi, sensei of gennin cell 7 and Maito Gai of gennin cell 9, you two have been called here by this council to discuss the following orders that the council has come to agree with after a week long discussion. You two currently hold gennin with unbelievable amounts of potential in the shinobi world but only one of you are responsible for their growths and that is not you, Hatake Kakashi." Sarutobi said with Kakashi's eye widening, which lead Hyuuga Hiashi to continue for the Hokage.
"Cell 9's sensei has done his job with excellence that hasn't been seen since Cell 7 of Senju Tobirama many years ago. He has taken the time to thoroughly train all three of his students and has wisely given them a full year to continue their training before he dubbed them ready to participate in the chuunin exam. It is also thanks to him that one Sparda Naruto is as powerful as he is now, though credit goes to fellow jounin Mitarashi Anko and Gekkou Hayate, and ANBU member Uzuki Yuugao." He said before he continued
"Rock Lee, your skills in Taijutsu and Kenjutsu has been noticed by this council due to your extremely well fought performance in the finals of the chuunin exams. Even though your weakness is one of the shinobi's most required attributes such as the usage of Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, you have looked past that and shown excellent progress in the shinobi world through your strengths. As such, this council has recognized your progress and you shall be promoted to the rank of trail jounin." He said with Gai and Lee's eyes widening before Lee felt a huge smirk come to his face. Hiashi then looked at his nephew and found a small smirk come to his face.
He was going to enjoy this
"Hyuuga Neji, known to the village as the previous rookie of the year and the Hyuuga prodigy due to your renounced skills in your clan as well as the shinobi world. Although you didn't win your match with Sparda Naruto, the judges have determined your skills to be above average for a gennin and have stated that you have met the requirements needed for the promotion. However, this council finds that given the state of surveillance and tracking missions being of the utmost importance we have decided to promote you to the rank of trail jounin as well." Hiashi said with a small smirk, as Neji's faced could only show nothing but absolute shock.
"Momochi Haku, even though you've only been here for a short time after the successful mission from Cell 7 to Wave country, you've been an excellent addition to the village. It was also stated that during the invasion you've managed to defeat a large portion of the invading forces and push back the forces coming to the stadium. As such we the council has decided to promote you to the rank of jounin as well with the others before this council." Hiashi said finishing with the three previous shinobi before he turned he turned his attention towards Hatake Kakashi.
"Now then Kakashi, we of this council have recently learned of how you have been running your squad for the past year since the team has been formed when the three of them graduated. We have learned that you have not taken on your responsibilities properly as their teacher due to your showing of favoritism and ignorance as well as arrogance in all that your team stands for. For instance, when you were given the C-rank mission to wave country and discovered that the client lied about the proper rank and continued the mission on a hunch that your team was ready, you failed to notify the Hokage of your actions, so that way he could have at least sent a second gennin team to assist. Instead you took on the mission alone and was encountered by the now late Momochi Zabuza." He said with the council murmuring amongst themselves at that since they had no knowledge of that.
"If it wasn't for him underestimating your student's fighting level you would have lost all three of your gennin as well as the client. At that moment was when you should have chosen to notify the Hokage, but once again you failed to do so and continued on knowing that Momochi Zabuza would return for a second time. During that time though, you did your job for the first time and taught them the tree walking exercise but that exercise showed have been taught to them, the moment you four became a cell." He said with Naruto glaring at the masked man
"Then came your second encounter with the demon of the mist which would have resulted in the death of Uchiha Sasuke if not for the arrival of Sparda Naruto, which later on lead to the death of Momochi Zabuza and allowed Naruto to kill the shipping merchant Gato. It is also thanks to Naruto that it allowed the leader of Wave country, Tazuna, to discuss a trade agreement with us once he took control of Gato's shipping companies. After about several more weeks following the previous mission, you began to neglect training two of your students though one was smart enough to go towards three of your fellow jounin such as Mitarashi Anko, Maito Gai, and Gekkou Hayate which the later helped him learn from Uzuki Yuugao. Infact you were so negligent that you failed to notice your student not even being there at times." He said with Kakashi looking down in shame as he was being berated by his superiors.
"But despite all this, in your arrogance you nominated your gennin cell to the chuunin exam and completely failed to prepare them for the exam or even informed them of the test. It was only due to Naruto's training with the previously listed few that he was able to take his team to the second exam, which only two of your students managed to move on, though you left as soon as the Uchiha finished his match. Then once the preliminary round was over, you vanished along with the Uchiha and trained him personally instead of training all three of your students together. But Naruto was however very fortunate to have found Jaraiya of the Sannin, who then agreed to teach Naruto for the following month which further helped the other jounin to return to normal duty." He said taking in a small breath before continuing
"During that time Jiraiya-sama taught Naruto how to utilize the Rasengan in both hands and a brand new move of his called the Blood wave technique. He also taught the boy several other things within that time period before he had to prepare for the upcoming invasion by the suna/oto forces. You on the other hand taught the Uchiha your famed Chidori technique and what you knew of the goken Taijutsu style. You even went so far as to teach him further use of his Sharingan and nature manipulation he needed to use your move. Then to further make matters worse he used that move after his match was ended and tried to assassinate his fellow teammate. A match that he was lucky enough to even compete in after you were late for three hours and his first opponent surrendered his match to him along with Shikamaru Nara's long match." Hiashi said before speaking the following announcement that would change everything.
"It is through these facts that this council has found your leadership to be unfit and has moved for your immediate removal as leader of cell 7. We also find that seeing as how the previous intention of the teams being balanced in skill has by far not been met and that Kakashi is not the proper teacher for the team, we move that cell 7 be disbanded until a proper teacher is found. Once one is found, then will cell 7 be allowed to regroup." He said causing Kakashi's eyes to widened and Naruto face showing nothing but shock.
"Also pending the situation with Uchiha Sasuke and the attempted murder of Sparda Naruto during the aftermath of there match, we move that Uchiha Sasuke be suspended for the next six months. Also this council is concerned with the mental health of Uchiha Sasuke and requires that during the time of his suspension be evaluated by Yamanaka Inoichi on a regular basis until he is deemed mentally stable enough to continue in his career. Haruno Sakura shall also be added into cell 9 until cell 7 is given a new leader." Hiashi finished with Sarutobi sighing before he began to debate with his fellow council men for a total of seven minutes before he spoke up.
"Hatake Kakashi, I'm afraid that given the circumstances of the evidence at hand I have no other choice but to agree with the council decision in disbanding cell 7. You are also forbidden from training Sasuke during the time of his suspension as well as with him using the Chidori technique until Inoichi deems him mentally stable in doing so. Also within that time, he is forbidden to use his Sharingan for any purposes until he proves that he can use it with maturity. Now in the case of Haruno Sakura, I'm afraid that I must agree with them once more with the council in having her placed in cell 9 until cell 7 is given a new leader." He said with Kakashi feeling as if someone punched him in his gut and forced the wind from his lungs. He knew that with the state that Konoha was now in after the invasion, more demanding missions would come in and he would be needed more then ever.
But not like this, not like this at all.
In all the stupid shit he has done in his life, He never thought that he would be removed for negligence of his two students. This was something that would never be taken away from you, as when you lose the right to train a gennin cell people won't be so quick to issue you missions. It would make them feel as if their reputation would be tarnished if the mission was failed by the person with the record and they wouldn't have that. To further make matters worse, he would not even get a second chance to make up for his mistake. Even now he felt like a huge wave of disappointment wash over him seeing as how rare it is for a person to lose his status as a shinobi leader, since that only happened when a leaders entire cell is killed by poor decision making.
For the first time in a while he now knew that he had fucked up big time
Sarutobi then turned his attention to Naruto
"Sparda Naruto due to your performance in the chuunin exam finals and in the invasion where you were one of the deciding factors in which allowed us to push the invasion forces back, along with the many recommendations from regal head figures we have agreed to give you the rank of elite jounin." Hiruzen said with Naruto along with Jaraiya and the other jounin's in the room having their mouths agape from the surprise. Before long the others were all dismissed with only Naruto and Jaraiya remaining in the room
"Now Naruto, as much as I don't want to do this at the moment I must give you your first SS-rank mission." He said getting surprised looks from his fellow council members. "You shall accompany Jiraiya in locating my former student, Senju Tsunade, and bring her back to the village so that she may take my place as the next Hokage in the seat. Use whatever kind of force is necessary to return her here should convincing her not work out. Normally I would have picked Jiraiya but given the state of urgency we are undergoing, he is needed outside the walls more then ever which makes Tsunade the prime candidate for the seat. You shall leave first thing tomorrow mourning, dismissed" Sarutobi said but not before tossing the boy the scroll containing his new vest.
(One week Later)
A week passed since that day with the duo now entering their next stop called Tanzuku town. Upon the beginning of their trip from the village to their first stop, the pair knew that they were being followed by two people with very strong chakra levels and at any moment could attack if they wanted to. When they arrived to their hotel room, Jaraiya chased after a woman who winked at him before walking away. Naruto sighed at that, since the man was considered one of the most powerful Shinobi within the elemental countries yet a woman could render him powerless from a wink. Once Jaraiya left to make a complete ass of himself, the boy went to his room in order to get some rest.
It was during that period of time that the pair showed themselves to be two S-class shinobi that wore the same cloak that Diedara wore, which was later revealed as the cloaks of an organization called the Akatsuki. Naruto also knew that the two chasing him was the Uchiha clan slayer, Uchiha Itachi, and the Human-Shark hybrid, Hoshigaki Kisame. The three shinobi held a brief conflict but it all ended once Jaraiya made his appearance and Sasuke arrived demanding that Itachi take him on.
The fight was one sided before Itachi hit him with his bloodlines strongest Genjutsu and left him to scream at the nightmare that he placed on him. The fight then ended once Itachi fled the sceen and used another clan technique to escape, which Jaraiya sealed within a scroll to research it later on. Then following that was the old man getting kicked in the face by Maito Gai, who claimed that he was looking at the battle from his headband so he couldn't tell who was the ally or the enemy.
Once that was all said and done, the duo was once more back on the road trying to find a lead to Tsunade in anyway possible although she would more then likely be at a casino trying to win since she was a chronic gambler. When the entered through the gate, they saw the land mark of the area which was a tall castle that was quite the sight to behold. Jaraiya looked around a bit more before Naruto sniffed the air and knew who else was looking for Tsunade and managed to locate her.
"Naruto, I take it you've found Tsunade's scent?" He asked with Naruto nodding his head
"Yes and apparently she's still in the area if my nose is correct." He said with Jaraiya smirking at that
"And knowing your sense of smell, I would say that your right on the money." He said with Naruto smirking as well before they continued their journey for Tsunade. The end result came fast, as they now found themselves in front of a bar that almost made Jaraiya slap his head for not thinking of that place first since Tsunade is a stone cold drunk. Once they walked in they found Tsunade drowning another cup of sake with a black haired woman holding a pig in her arms.
The Duo walked towards the two women though the blonde one failed to notice them approaching, though Naruto was paying more attention to the blonde haired woman since that was who Jaraiya told him was Tsunade with a picture he had of her.
"Hey there Tsunade-hime, it's good to see you after all this time." Jaraiya said with Tsunade turning her head to the smirking face of the toad sannin
"Jaraiya? Damnit, I knew I should have skipped town the moment I won my bets multiple times." Tsunade said with Jaraiya sitting in the booth area with Tsunade. Naruto followed suit and couldn't help but look the blonde woman over as he saw that she looked to be in her mid twenties with a purple diamond in her forehead and a pair of jugs that would make even a eighty year old man stand up without assistance (If you know what I mean?).
"So what brings you here of all places? I'm sure this isn't just some chat between old friends?" Tsunade said before looking at Naruto "Plus, who is the kid?" Tsunade asked with Jaraiya ordering a drink for himself while Naruto simply ordered some tea since he wasn't in the mood for liquor.
"His name is Sparda Naruto and He's my godson. Don't you remember? You delivered him thirteen years ago." Jaraiya said with Tsunade freezing up before looking at Naruto a little more.
"That's Minato and Kushina's kid? I heard that he defeated Gaara no Sabaku and the Shukaku no Suna in the chuunin exams." Shizune said with Jaraiya nodding
"Yeah, it also got him promoted to Elite Jounin after many of the regal figures in attendance requested his promotion." He said before turning his attention back to his former teammate after they applied a dual privacy and silence seal around their table "As for why I am here I'll cut to the chase, the fact is that Sarutobi finally came to his sense's and retired from being Hokage but this time he wants you back as the next Hokage." Jaraiya said
"I refuse. If the old man can hold that job for as long as he did without me then he can continue on without me. Besides why don't you take on the job? It seems like a better idea then coming all this way for nothing." She said with Jaraiya shaking his head
"Back then Sarutobi was still able to handle the job with ease, but now the times has changed since he is now to old to handle another invasion like that again. Besides, I'm needed more outside the village now since my spy network is buzzing on this organization called Akatsuki that has been after the vessels to the nine bijuu, Naruto included." Jaraiya said with Naruto looking at his godfather in confusion.
"Even so, my decision stands Jaraiya. That place holds to many dark memories for me that I do not wish to relive at all." She said with Naruto looking at her but felt as if this woman was just making excuses for herself and felt that she needed a little bit of an attitude adjustment.
"Just tell the truth, your scared." Naruto said with his hands in his pockets. Everyone surrounding them was surprised by that bold and blunt statement made by the young white haired boy.
"What did you just say brat?" Tsunade said with Naruto looking at her right in the eye
"You heard or maybe your to old to hear correctly. I said your scared. You're scared that when you return to the village, everyone going to see that you're all washed up and a shell of your former self. The Hokage said that you would be the perfect replacement on the Hokage seat, yet all I see is a has been just running her life dry on booze and gambling. I thought I would be meeting the most famous medical shinobi to ever walk the earth and took the art to a new level, not a burlap sack of shit that's only use is for prostitution." Naruto said with a smirk plastered on his face, while Jaraiya and Shizune even the little pig named ton-ton had their mouths agape at those words. Jaraiya immediately felt his respect for his godson grow tremendously, as he is by far the only man on earth to have the BALLS large enough to say that. But he did felt sorry that the boy will now loose them after Tsunade rips them out of his sack as she reached across the table and grabbed his shirt to pull him close to her face
"Who the hell do you think you are to talk to me like that? I am still one of the strongest shinobi to ever walk out of Konoha and I will gladly prove that to you outside." She said before Naruto grabbed Tsunade's arm as a devilish smirk formed on his face, as he squeezed her arm with added chakra pressure in his hand that made Tsunade quickly release the boys shirt.
"I'm afraid that not only has your age made you weak, it also has made you arrogant. You are currently in a drunken state, so you moves will be sloppy and flimsy, so it will only be a waste of my time." Naruto said with Tsunade's eyes widening further. Naruto then got out of the booth and began to walk away before turning to Jaraiya "Ero-sannin, I'll be waiting at the hotel so we can head back to the village tomorrow. I think this was only a waste of time for both you and me." Said the elite jounin before Tsunade called out to him
"Hey brat, how's about a bet?" She said with Naruto turning around to face the blonde haired woman that was currently looking at him with a seriousness expression on her face
"I'm listening." The new jounin said with Tsunade still looking him in the eye
"In three days, we fight at the hill near the outskirts of the town. If I win, I leave and you never try to find me again but not without taking all the money in your wallets. If you win, I'll return to the village with you and I'll give you this necklace around my neck." She said pointing towards the green jewel hanging around her neck.
"The famed necklace of the Shodaime? Pretty big wager for a simple bet." Naruto said with Shizune intervening in this
"Tsunade-sama, please don't do this, the boy seems to be very strong." Shizune said only for Tsunade to raise her hand to interrupt her assistant
"Stay out of this Shizune, this is between me and the brat before me." Tsunade said with Naruto looking at her for a few more seconds before he responded.
"Very well then, we shall fight in three days. However I would advice you to come at me with you're a-game, because if you don't, then I might have to call this mission a failure because of your death." He said before he walked out of the building leaving the three shinobi to ponder on what just happened a few moments ago. Jaraiya was the first to break the ice and it wasn't for something perverted
"Tsunade, are you sure that you want to fight him?" Jaraiya said with Tsunade nodding
"Yes, I need to prove to not only him but to myself that I am still the same as I was when I was younger." The Slug Sannin said before she left the building with Shizune following closely behind her. Jaraiya on the other hand looked around for a moment before he pulled out his note pad and felt a perverted smile come across his face.
"Then I shall go do some research." He said as he left the area and headed over to the hot spring area.
(Elsewhere)
Sabaku no Gaara was always renowned as the person who never sleeps and was a homicidal killer at any waking moment. He was known as the guy that could kill any living, breathing, thing without any remorse given or allowed to be felt. He was also known as the only person that had the strength to sustain such a beast as the Shukaku no Ichibi without falling any further into the insanity that insured with the position of its container. He was all that and more but now everything changed the moment he awakened from his slumber after his defeat by the hands of Sparda Naruto.
He could no longer hear his voice, feel his presence, awaken his power. Nothing
The day after he woke up, he learned that Naruto had killed the Shukaku in their fight during the chuunin exams and as such freed him from being the beast prison. He could now sleep with ease and finally fight by using his own power.
He felt different and it felt good to be different now.
Another thing that came to his discovery was his own heritage that belonged to the strongest of the Kazekage's: The Sandaime Kazekage. He was related to the man through his mother alone and was the only one of his siblings that held the active bloodline known as the Setsuna (Iron Sand). The Sandaime Kazekage was very famous for his abilities but his key attribute known was his ability to control the sand and its densities. The man could use his bloodline to pull the iron from the sand and manipulate it in all shapes and sizes. He could also use sand in the same way, which was why he was the most powerful of the Kazekage's.
When he first learned of his bloodline being active at first, he was confused on how it happened and felt the need to explore the reason as to how it was. Apparently upon receiving the Shukaku, the bijuu's chakra flooded his system and in a way activated it but the power was never in his full control since Shukaku held a better understanding of it. For years on end, he was known as the guy that could go on multiple B-rank missions and return without a single scratch that needed to be healed all because of something his father did to him as a child.
But now that he was without his bijuu, his power level has weakened because of it so that is why he was now training himself to become stronger then ever and this time he was going to do it on his own.
(Back to Naruto)
The white haired boy currently walked the halls of his mind with a heavy feeling coming through him. It's been plaguing him for a while after the invasion when he returned his darkness and light forms. When he did that a reaction was felt throughout his body that made it seem as if the forms were fighting him, almost as if they were trying to gain control of his body somehow.
The same thing almost played itself again when he was training earlier with the two clones. They were fighting much harder then they normally should in a spar match and when he returned them to his body, the same feeling returned to him once more and now he was going to figure out why.
He walked the dark corridors of his mind before he came to a door that was surrounding by energy he recognized simply due to the feeling. He then pressed his hands on the door and watched as it opened before it dragged him in. Inside the room was nothing but chakra that held the similar feeling given when ever he summoned or returned the clones that held the power he used.
He remained still in the void as two figures walked out of the walls and stood before him. Naruto looked at the two figures and was surprised to find that the two figures were simple clones of himself only one wore a blue coat and the other wore a red one. To Naruto they reminded him of Dante and Vergil before they passed on with the light clone holding the Rebellion sword and the dark clone holding the Yamato.
"So what do you guys want exactly? Its obvious that your trying to get my attention so what do you want?" Naruto asked with the dark clone stepping forward
"Its something important that needs to be discussed. Apparently your reaching your first ascension stage in your demonic blood and our powers are converging more and more by the day to the point where we became actual personalities within your mind." He said with the red clone then continuing for the blue
"It also appears that that is a problem, as the three of us can no longer be separate and we must unite our powers as one." He said with Naruto nodding before another question came to mind
"What happens when we do unite? Do our powers combine or something?" He asked
"We don't know exactly but I'm sure that it will combine our personalities and our transformation into one instead of three." He said with Naruto nodding his head
"And let me guess, this unity is going to have to be done by fighting huh?" Naruto said with Kyuubi finding its way to his hand.
"Of coarse it does." The red clone said before all three charged at each other
(Three Days Later)
Naruto and Jaraiya could currently be seen walking towards the meeting point in which He and Tsunade were scheduled to fight. He felt pretty good after his fight with his darkness and light clones, even though it was hard as hell to win, he still managed to capture the victory over them. He now felt as if his power was truly awakened although he couldn't access his devil form after the fusion. However he knew that it wouldn't be needed for now since he had a fight to win.
For once though he actually wasn't to sure if he could win this since after all, a shinobi may be able to leave his or her prime by age but that doesn't mean that they aren't still strong. Jaraiya currently looked on ahead before he turned his attention to his god son "So tell me Naruto, what do you plan on doing to win?" He asked with Naruto removing his jacket and rub his hair back to make it spiky before summoning the fox belt he wore in the chuunin exam and placed it on his shoulder
"I plan to do nothing." He said with Jaraiya nearly tripping over a rock
"WHAT? Your going up against a sannin and you plan to do nothing?" He said with Naruto cracking his neck left to right before answering
"The best hope for me in this fight has already been met, I just have to hope that it stays that way long enough for me to win." He said with Jaraiya staring at the white haired jounin with a slack jaw
'The little bastard is going to place the entire fate of Konoha on sheer dumb luck? Then again a five year old has better luck then Tsunade, so I guess he still has a chance to win.' Jaraiya thought as he followed the boy in silence. When they finally arrived to the area, they were greeted with the sight of Tsunade and Shizune standing in the clearing, awaiting their arrival.
"I was a little worried you weren't going to show up." Naruto said before returning his belt and stood with his hands in his pockets.
"Why wouldn't I come, seeing as how I have a bet that I'm gonna win." Tsunade said with Naruto snorting before he took a fighting stance "Don't you normally fight with swords? Why won't you use them?" She asked
"I won't be needing them, its been a while since I had just a pure hand to hand fight so I won't use them." Naruto said with Tsunade staring at him with a blank look before she began to laugh very lightly
"You can't seriously think that you could beat me with only hand to hand combat." Tsunade said with Naruto not responding to her and simply stayed in his stance. However unknown to everyone he was inwardly cheering on what just happened.
'Looks like now I'll have a better chance at catching her off guard then I originally thought.' He thought as he saw her take a fighting stance of her own, before he charged towards her head on.
Tsunade's smirk grew wider the moment Naruto took off towards her. She raised her right arm in the air before slamming it into the ground, creating a small fissure to raise in front of the white haired boy. Naruto continued his charge before he hopped over the fissure and took out a few kunai and tossed it at the blonde. Tsunade quickly rolled to the left and sent a pair of kunai herself at the boy, who twisted his body in the air and faced Tsunade, who hopped into the air and raised her right leg into the air.
Naruto quickly brought up his arms above his head with a good portion of Kyuubi's chakra being planted into his arm. When Tsunade sent her leg down and hit Naruto's arm, he felt as if he was hit by a freight train moving at three hundred miles as he was slammed back towards the ground, which brought up a dust cloud. Tsunade landed on her feet before she ran towards the cloud as Naruto hopped out of the other side clutching his arm but knew that his power was already healing him.
Meanwhile Jaraiya and Shizune stared at the scene in disbelief, as Naruto took on a head-on shot from Tsunade and it appeared to have not even fazed him. What also surprised the two shinobi was the fact that the boy was appearing to be able to hold his own against the woman who held the strength of a million men, which made Jaraiya wonder what he would have to do to get what Naruto had in resistance.
He then charged at the slug princess, not caring one bit about the injury his arm sustained. When they met at each other's charge Tsunade sent the first strike at the boy, which was a wide right, before the boy ducked and sent a right uppercut that missed when the slug princess stepped back. Tsunade then sent a forward strike that Naruto caught and tossed her over his shoulder. Tsunade flipped in the air and landed on her feet before sending a wide kick at the white haired boys head, which he ducked under. Naruto then prepared to form a Rasengan in his right hand but was forced to jump over her, as she slammed her fist on the ground causing a crater to form.
The boy then landed on his left foot before back flipping his body with his hand on the ground and his right leg being brought down in a falling motion. Tsunade brought her arm up to block the strike and sent her left leg in a sweeping motion on the boys hand which caused him to land on his back. Tsunade then raised her right arm again to punch the boy into the ground floor, but he was able to place his hands on the ground behind him and pushed himself away from the women fist of doom.
He only had a moment to catch his breathe before seeing Tsunade charge at him like bull that sighted red. Tsunade raised her right fist and sent a forward punch at Naruto's face, who took up a new stance with his right arm held in the air like he was holding an orb. When Tsunade sent her right fist, Naruto appeared to have faded away from the hit and reappear behind her fist, but held an open hit in her guard. It was at that moment that Naruto gained the first hit of the fight, as he sent a backhand slap on Tsunade's chest that caused her to recoil. Naruto then took that moment to hop into the air and sent a wide right kick to the blonde sannin's head, which she blocked at the last second but was still hit by the force of the kick and caused her to across the ground.
Naruto then ran at her head on, which made Tsunade send a back fist in his direction but to her shock instead of dodging the attack, Naruto instead blocked with his right arm that caused tinge of pain on his arm, but he ignored it and continued with what he knew he had to do. He then grabbed her extended arm with his left before grabbing it with his right. He then jumped into the air with her arm still in his grasp that began to pull Tsunade along with him towards the ground. Tsunade eyes widened as her body was brought down with the white haired boy, as he placed his right leg over her neck and rested his left under her neck before both legs were wrapped together. When Naruto landed on the ground, he was now holding Tsunade in the triangle choke submission hold that focused solely on the arm and chest area of the opponent.
Jaraiya and Shizune's jaw was now completely dislodged from their skulls with their eyes following suit. Naruto had actually done something that they never seen before, someone had actually managed to subdue Tsunade in a maneuver that was VERY hard to execute. The triangle choke required the user and somehow get the opponent on the ground long enough to wrap both legs around the upper body of the opponent to subdue them until they submitted with your legs working like a vice grip around the opponents neck while the arm was held to insure that the submission goes through. It was a hard move to execute but a great move to get the job done.
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief as he held onto his hold "Do you surrender?" he asked as he tightened his grip around her arm incase she tried to grab his vest. He had to say that he hated the idea of hurting a women like this but it was the only way to get her to come to her sense's and return with them.
The blonde haired woman on the other hand wasn't so quick to admit defeat as she tried to pull her arm out of the hold 'No, I'm not going back to the place that stole everything from me. I WON'T LOSE!' She thought as she began to pull her arm out of his grip. Naruto felt her struggling and tightened the hold, but only met more resistance under he felt a surge of chakra. He then felt her starting to apply more strength in her arm, thus making his grip much more harder to hold. He then began to tighten the pressure his legs had around her neck, which helped in a way but didn't last long as another burst of chakra came up and he saw Tsunade's hair was beginning to rise up.
Naruto then knew that she activating the chakra gates, since he constantly spared with Lee back home and knew how much power the gates can give and that was something he didn't need. so he called up half a tail worth of Kyuubi's chakra which helped in holding her down longer but she was now on the third gate and was beginning to pull on the fourth.
When she did pull out the fourth gate, a sharp green aura surrounded her and her chakra soon spike to a level beyond that of Kage and near the level of a No-tail level bijuu. Naruto then pulled out the full tail that turned his eyes blood red and caused the chakra cloak to surround him but it brunt Tsunade on where he held her down.
Something he truly hated doing but knew that it was necessary.
Tsunade hissed at the pain of Naruto's chakra burning her flesh but she was currently doing all that she could to win this. So with that thought in mind, she called up the fifth gate and that began to get Naruto worried. The fifth gate was one that could do the most damage to the human body, after what he saw Lee go through in his fight with Gaara. But Tsunade wasn't done there, as she quickly pulled out the sixth and at that point her chakra began to flare even more violently then before.
Naruto quickly let go of the hold, knowing that it wasn't worth the risk of holding her any longer, and hopped back to his feet. Tsunade immediately stood back up, as Naruto stood awaiting her next. Before Naruto could even blink, Tsunade vanished from sight and reappeared in front of the white haired boy with her right arm raised.
'Oh fuck' Naruto thought before he felt a punch that would have no doubt shatter his jaw upon contact. The force of the punch sent him flying across the field before his body bounced off the ground and spun in the air before landing back on the ground then skidded across the grass before coming to an abrupt stop. He tried to push himself back up but the pain his body felt was in became to much for him to hold and fell back down on the ground.
Jaraiya visibly cringed at the sight of his god son taking a shot that only he could take and live to tell about it. He was sure that could have been the hardest hit Tsunade has ever given to anyone in a very long time. He was seriously hoping that Naruto's neck wasn't broken or if he was even dead.
Tsunade stood in the same spot she hit Naruto and began to feel a very sharp pain run through her as the gates effect began to work on her muscles. She hissed in pain before she activated the seal on her forehead to heal her body before getting ready to reseal the chakra gates before she damaged her chakra coils.
"It looks like I win brat. You did good but I'm afraid that you just weren't good enough." She said as she prepared to reseal the gates, only to be greeted with a blast of the same chakra that Naruto used before except this time it was much stronger.
Naruto placed his hand on the ground and pushed himself back up, while simultaneously pulling the second tail of Kyuubi's chakra. With Tsunade's seal still active along with six of the eight gates and Naruto using two of the Kyuubi's tails, they were once again on even terms in power, though Tsunade was absolutely shocked by what just happened. Naruto took a head on shot from her strongest punch and was down for the count but now he was getting back up with more power then she thought he held.
She already knew that Naruto contained one of the nine bijuu but unlike Jaraiya or even Orochimaru, she held no knowledge of sealing techniques. From the years she knew Jaraiya, she learned how to remove them and recognize them but when it came to creating them, she couldn't even bother trying.
She was pulled out of her musings as Naruto appeared in front of her and landed a kick to her abdomen, sending her flying and knocking the wind right out of her lungs. She quickly flipped in mid air and skidded along the ground several feet away before coming to a complete stop. She looked up to find Naruto was already on the offensive again, with him sending out a spin kick to her head.
She quickly grabbed his leg with one arm and slammed him on the ground, but to her shock Naruto placed his hands on the ground to absorb the impact before kicking her chin with his other leg. Tsunade released the hold on his leg, allowing Naruto to return to his feet and slam his right fist into her gut. Tsunade felt the wind leave her lungs again before Naruto sent a backwards spin kick to Tsunade's face, causing her face to hit the ground. Tsunade then pushed herself back up and got ready to unleash the seventh gate in hopes of taking the boy out in the next move, but then Naruto surprised her by unleashing the third tail.
Tsunade was shocked by the output of power the boy was exerting until it finally hit her.
She couldn't win.
The boy was putting out a power output that would usurp all the power she would gain from the seventh gate or even the eighth gate if she opened it. She had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and now her past will finally catch up to her. Naruto sensed the feeling she was exerting and felt that he should end this. He raised his right fist and began to focus as much chakra as he could into his fist.
Tsunade looked up and saw that Naruto was preparing to end this, so she got up and opened the seventh gate. Maybe that would at least help her in winning this. Naruto then charged at the woman with all the power he could muster, while Tsunade did the same and charged his way as well.
The two shinobi then sent their fist towards the other with each one connecting to the others face's, but surprisingly only one was the stronger.
Naruto's
When the white haired boy hit the blonde haired woman, she was sent flying towards the area she started and skidded along the ground. Naruto, who managed to stay in place, was currently dripping blood from the wound on his forehead. He also felt massive pain go all throughout his body before he cough up more blood and fell to one knee looking disheveled. The wound on his head healed up after a few moments before he walked back to area Tsunade was, while Shizune and Jaraiya ran up to the blonde woman to see if she was okay. What greeted them was the sight of Tsunade on her knees and hugging herself with some tears leaving her eyes. Naruto felt saddened by this and thought that he should help her get through this.
"Why won't you just stop running from your past Tsunade? Come back to Konoha where they truly need you." Naruto said with Tsunade shaking her head as the tears continued on flowing
"No, I won't go back to there, back to that place. It took everything from me." Tsunade said with Naruto sighing before he slowly approached her and placed a hand on her shoulders
"I know the feeling of losing everything you care and I can also understand the feeling of losing a loved one. But if you are so selfish in your own problems that you are willing to allow others to feel the same way….to lose their loved ones and suffer through that void of pain that you went through, can you honestly live with yourself? You can save so many lives by coming back to the village and beat your inner demons, but you must let your problems go." Naruto said with Tsunade looking up before she got back to her feet.
She then deactivated the gates and the seal on her forehead. The mental and physical exhaustion quickly overcame her before the pain in her limbs followed suit, which caused her to get down on one knee and Shizune to get to her side. She sat down and winced at the protest her muscle held against her for trying to move them. Tsunade then got up slowly before she left with Shizune while Jaraiya stood beside his godson.
"That was quite the fight kid, I would have to say that your parents would be proud of how you handled that." He said with Naruto thanking him while trying to heal up from his fight
"Do you think she'll come back with us?" Naruto asked as he began to walk back to the hotel room, knowing that Kyuubi and his bloodline was working hard in healing his injuries sustained from this fight.
"Its hard to tell. Tsunade has been away from Konoha for many years, so its likely that she is trying to think of what to do." He said with Naruto walking beside him. He had to say that the boy was doing a good job in hiding his injuries as he walked beside his godson.
"I hope she makes up her mind soon, since afterall….I won the bet." Naruto said with a smirk
(Elsewhere in an Unknown location)
Kazama Sotachi walked along the plains of the demon world, in search of a weapon he knew that would come in handy. The weapon was missing for a full two millennia after it was hidden again in this strange place. He was glad that he took out those people after his descendant, knowing that he didn't need any more problems then what he had planned for him. He had to say that those people were by far very powerful shinobi, with one being a full immortal and the other using powers that he had no idea existed.
Then came the surprise of Uchiha Madara revealing that he still lives after being missing for so many years. He was the hardest one to kill since he kept using that damn space/time Ninjutsu his Sharingan held, although it did tell him how he was able to the control the Kyuubi, but now that the man was dead, he could begin his plans but he still had to kill one more person before he could get started.
He would have hunted the other three but decided against it, seeing as how they really didn't have to be killed but would keep the idea in mind just incase the moment comes.
"It looks like my powers are not quite ready to be restored to their full potential but I did enjoy killing those Akatsuki fools. Now that weapon should be around here somewhere." Sotachi said to himself trying to find the location of the weapon through the feel of the energy around here. The weapon was one of the most famous used weapons in the world. A weapon of pure demonic power and strength that would make anyone that holds it ten times more powerful before they even touched it.
Sadly the man that sealed it was to weak to wield it and cowardly sealed it away into this retched world of demons. He continued until he finally felt the power surge he was looking for. He walked along the ground before finding the weapon on a pedestal like shrine with roman style walls and a walkway of stone pillars leading up to the shrine.
He quickly raised his right arm which summoned a pair of wings made of shadows, that lifted him towards the pedestal without having to walk up there. He landed in front of the weapon and truly marveled at the weapon. A Zanbatou like blade with a large handle and a red jewel that glowed like the radiant light of demonic energy.
Without wasting another second to marvel at its beauty, he grabbed the handle and felt the demonic energy pour through his veins like water through a creak. He began to laugh as he pulled the sword out of the slab it was sealed on and placed the sword on his back. He began to laugh as purple energy began to swirl around him before exploding towards the air, with his form changing before going back to his normal form.
"YES THIS IS IT, MY POWER IS BACK! IT'S FINALLY BAAAAAACCCCCKKKK!" Sotachi yelled to the top of his lungs while he marveled at the weapn he finally gained.
The one weapon that was used to end the war between humans and demons four thousand years and was responsible for resealing the devil king mundus and stopping the religion made for the man that made this sword the legend that it was.
This sword was the once personal weapon of the Dark Knight Sparda
The Force Edge
AN: done and done. Well that one was a pain in the ass to write but it was needed. First off if your wondering, yes the Akastuki is dead except for three. The reason why I killed them off, it is because the story would have been better off with my OC being the main villain instead of them. Next chapter will contain the fight with Orochimaru and Kabuto with a little bit more around the end. I don't know how long the next chapter will take since I have to go back to my other stories, so this one may not get one for awhile but then again knowing me I don't even know.
Also incase some are suffering from stupidity and wishes to complain about Tsunade using the eight gates and not dying, then give some bogus information that shows his or her stupidity then allow me to save you from yourself. What Tsunade did was use each gate in consecutive times, as opposed to Lee when he did it since he did it after a while of usage. Also, Tsunade used her seal regeneration powers to heal the cells in her body, which includes muscle cells so she'll heal up fast. So no matter what point of view you have, don't waste your time in trying to tell ME what I know.
Now its time to review the Manga, since one of the reason's I haven't updated this one is so that I can read more of the chapters to come
F – Placing Naruto in cardiac arrest over Sasuke: What the hell was this? Is Naruto so stupid that he has to nearly die over what to do with Sasuke? If people told me that my best friend was a serial killer and that if I don't do anything more people could be killed, I wouldn't say "Well he's my best friend and I don't want to get him in trouble." I tell the cops where his ass is and what he does to kill people. Naruto will have to learn that Sasuke does not want to be rescued and that he would have to stop being selfish to save one person when a war is about to break out.
D – The Return of Itachi…as a genjutsu ghost: When I saw that before the new year, I was at first shocked but then I thought that he probably implanted a large amount of his chakra, so that whenever Sasuke fought Danzo or Madara, Itachi would be the one to kill him. Well apparently it was Sasuke using a Genjutsu to catch Danzo off guard long enough to use Amaterasu in close range. Not bad concept Kishimato but a little more could have been done with that idea.
C – The final version of Sussanoo: One word…Cool
B – The new Sharingan technique, Izanagi: I would love the idea of having Danzo be the main villain in one of my stories. For some reason he went from an unknown character in my books to "I Gotta write him in my fic ASAP!" Obviously he has allot to offer as the main villain, so my hat comes off to Kishimato for making a villain more fascinating then Dragon Ball Z's Freiza or Majin Buu. I hope more people write stories with Danzo as the main villain. If you know anyone or write a story that has Danzo as the main villain, let me know ASAP.
A – The Sharingan Arm: Okay, if you didn't see that coming then you're an idiot. That was the sickest thing that Kishimato has ever made and to give it to Danzo would do allot for him. Then to make things better, he has some of the Shodaime's abilities meaning that he could make allot of new ideas with him making Naruto a weapon, or Naruto somehow being a clone of his character.
Now another thing that gets me wondering more on Danzo's character is that what exactly is his character supposed to be? A bunch of experiments mashed into one? A mad man that volunteered to be the test subject of Orochimaru's experiments? Did the girl I called a whore take that as a compliment? Who knows. As far as I'm concerned I got a shit load of ideas from this so I want to see what comes next.
All I want Kishimato to do is not fuck this up for me, as I am really enjoying the manga after what? A year? How long has it been since Kishimato killed off Nagato? If you can give me the answer then it would be greatly appreciated.
Also to V-man, you know that you have to bring Danzo back right? I can understand that when you killed him off, you didn't know much but now that allot has been revealed you gotta bite the bullet. You know my e-mail, so send me one and we'll have a little chat
Until Next Time
Peace
