Over a thousand review! WOOTWOOT! Thank you all!
Yup, Deidara's going to be a chick now. But since Naruto already has too many girls, she will probably be with Shishi. Oh well, more destruction for Konoha I guess.
Hmmm... Three dudes have flamed me... But at least it wasn't Ralphy. I mean, these flames actually make sense. But (shrug) can't blame 'em. Anyway, thanks (I guess) for the comments. Doesn't affect me much, but it got me thinking a bit.
And now, for the Tora treat. Kekekekeke... I call myself a genius for actually thinking this up. Some of you thought something horrible happened to Tora. It was horrible, but it didn't happen to Tora. Instead, she is the one who did something horrible. In Konohagakure's eyes anyway. If you're going to use this, make sure to spread the message of who made it!
I own nothing but my OCs, and anything I make up that you haven't seen in the manga/anime/anything-seen-before.
It was a beautiful day. The village seemed to be in good shape, the damage was slowly being repaired. It seemed that Suna and Oto were the ones to take the most damage in their forces.
Naruto was loved more than ever, even if they also feared him righteously when he declared no longer being completely human. A few were afraid, but they were more so when Konohamaru and a few of the next generation of kids began to not only wear more black, but were going to the library to look up more on Naruto's cool shadow powers. It was this day specifically that Naruto would be scared more than ever.
A now recovered team seven looked in horror at the scroll that Sarutobi just gave Naruto to read out loud. For once, the old man wasn't wearing the Hokage robes, since he already chose his successor. In Naruto's hands was a scroll that might as well have come from Shinigami-sama, stating Naruto had ten seconds before he died. It took him two seconds to realized what he had read out loud.
"T-Tora..." whispered Sasuke next to him, not having felt so scared since the day he found his clan killed.
"That thing h-had..." Naruto murmured slightly louder, sounding like he was about to cry if his trembling voice was anything to go by. Even Akyo had a few tears in her eyes, something that confused Shishi. He's heard of the 'Demon Cat' but nothing else besides it being a big pain.
It was Sakura, using her powerful lungs and cracking half of the windows in the building, who let the horrible news known to all of Konoha. "TORA HAD KITTENS!"
For the next hundred months, you could feel how the poor genin had their faces scratched by twelve 'Baby Demons', all of them a different color and size.
"Hope to see you soon, Gaia-chan." Naruto said while holding a little red kitten away from his face. Strangely enough, this particular kitten of Tora's always searched Naruto out and tried fighting him. Gaia nodded, a bit of red on her normally pale cheeks. Grinning and leaning forward, Naruto caught her lips in his own and gave her a long chaste kiss, Gaia's eyes threatening to pop out of her sockets. "You'll get more when we see each other again." he whispered into her ear, causing her to shiver in anticipation.
"O-okay, Naruto-kun." she murmured, her eyes wide and glazed. Naruto smirked and his hand reached for her butt, getting a squeak from the suna kunoichi.
"I'll visit whenever I can." he whispered huskily. Knowing about his 'Abyssal-transport', Gaia knew he could appear anywhere. Not to mention that he could teleport anywhere so long as he knew where he was going. Or who he was looking for. After that, Kankuro pulled Naruto aside and began making threats that would make people cringe in pure fright. Naruto knew that Kankuro couldn't do any of those things, since the difference in strength was huge. But that didn't stop the chills going down Naruto's spine. With a rather high, "Understood." from Naruto, they two nodded to each other and were soon chatting like good friends.
"You want me to do what now?" asked Naruto with his eyebrow twitching. Bad enough he had to fight off Hisu(Hiss) the cat today. They named him that because he never purred nor meowed, always hissed at others. Mainly he hissed at Naruto, or made a hissing sound that you could tell was, "Naaahhhsssuto."
"I need you to bring back my other student, Senju Tsunade, to be the Godaime Hokage. Accompanying you will be Jiraiya." repeated the old man.
Naruto already was screaming, "FUCK NO!" before the 'Ji' in Jiraiya escaped Sarutobi's lips. "Why the hell does it have to be that stupid pervert!"
"Because he still has to teach you your father's Rasengan." said Sarutobi.
"... Where's that stupid idiot anyway." Naruto practically ordered, causing the previous Hokage's eyebrow to quirk.
"Right here!" declared a voice from the window, before Naruto suddenly slammed a fist into the sage's face.
"You're late. Now, what's this about the Rasengan you owe me?" Naruto said while crossing his arms. Had jiraiya been a normal civilian, he would've pissed himself and fainted because of the glare Naruto leveled on him.
"O-okay!" said the old hermit while quickly nodding his head, causing Naruto's glare to go down a few degrees. "So, I'm ready when you are."
"Fine." he murmured before turning to Sarutobi. "But I want to bring someone else with me." He made a clone and sent it to bring a specific person. Not three minutes later, the clone appeared in a flash with someone that almost gave Jiraiya a heart attack.
"H-her?" he nearly squeaked when he saw a familiar head of red hair.
"Yes, her." Naruto deadpanned. Jiraiya was whimpering pathetically as Tayuya smirked and cracked her knuckles.
"Thanks for bringing me along, Naruto-sama." she said in an angelic tone, scaring the crap out of Jiraiya.
"Well, I need someone who can help me keep this idiot in line. Who else better than you?"
"Hmmm.. Okay, I'll do it!" she said while nodding, then giving poor Jiraiya an evil smirk.
"Okay, um, meet me at the gate in an hour." with that, he left quickly to spend the rest of his time peeping as much as possible.
It was an hour later that Naruto and Tayuya were waiting for the old idiot. "He has ten seconds before I hunt him down." grumbled Naruto, Tayuya nodding beside him. "Five seconds." Instantly, Jiraiya appeared with a large grin. The grin soon became a scared face when he saw the demonized glare Naruto gave him. "Next time, be here earlier. I truthfully don't want to be looking for your girl for longer than I need to."
"Right then, let's get going." said Jiraiya, and the three were soon on their way to the last known place that Tsunade was spotted in. They didn't know that there were three people riding a white bird heading to the same place to meet Naruto.
"Wake up, fucktard!" shouted Tayuya while kicking Jiraiya hard in the ribs. Two days into their travel, and the two brats were already giving him pain. It wasn't long before Naruto also began to kick, finally making Jiraiya lose it.
"It's four in the morning!" he grumbled angrily. That made Naruto blink.
"Oh. Well, I usually sleep less than normally. So just tell me what's the second step for the rasengan, will you ero-sennin?" Over the two days, Naruto had completed the first step and was ready for the second. Honestly, they didn't even get to rest much yesterday because of Naruto wanting to find Tsunade as soon as possible. The only reason Tayuya wasn't complaining was because as soon as she looked like she would fall over, Naruto picked her up and let her rest, not slowing for a second. However, when Jiraiya said he was tired, Naruto made a fox tail come out of his spine and wrapped it around Jiraiya's arm and just pulled him along, almost dislocating the arm twice.
"Okay then. There are rubber balls in my pack, so try to pop those with your chakra." mumbled Jiraiya, hoping against hope that Naruto would let him sleep some more. It was not meant to be when Naruto chuckled nervously.
"Wait, I wasn't supposed to pop those yet? Huh, well too late for that. I did those when I ran out of balloons. Erm, what's the third step then?" Naruto scratched the back of his head a bit sheepishly. Jiriya sighed and got up, showing Naruto that he needed to make the Rasengan without breaking the balloon. Naruto then began working on that as Jiraiya and Tayuya were packing up the camp they made.
Pretty soon they came across another town named Tanzaku town, a place that seemed rather nice. Naruto smiled, the fact it was morning not bothering him in the slightest. He turned his head slightly and saw that both Jiraiya and Tayuya were looking around. Well, Tayuya was looking around. Jiraiya had just found an inn, entered, before being winked at by a random woman. Next thing Naruto knew, Jiraiya had just slammed their room-key into Naruto's hand and ran off, leaving a trail of dust in his wake.
"That was... to be expected." mumbled Naruto, not completely caring. He suddenly realized that the woman had a glazed look in her eyes, so that meant... He smirked and looked at the roof of the building across from the one he was in, seeing three people jump off a bird. Two men and a single woman. "Come, Tayuya-chan. We have guests." he said, moving to get to the room as Tayuya followed suit.
"Yes, Naruto-sama." she said, smiling brightly. She loved how she was treated in his house, enough to cuss less than seventeen times a day. ANd that meant loosing only a few hundred ryo to the twins really.
As the bird disappeared in a poof of smoke, the girl pouted and mumbled, "I wanted to show more of my art, un."
"We will have time later. Now, let's go see Naruto-kun." said Itachi, jumping off the roof and landing outside of the inn, making sure to put on a disguise.
The third member managed to dust off his pants before suddenly realizing that he was alone. Instantly, he panicked. "ITACHI-SEMPAI! DEIDARA-SEMPAI! WERE ARE YO-!" he was suddenly grabbed by the back of the hair and pulled by the female member.
"Shut your mouth already! Un!" she growled as the poor man began to cry.
"Se-sempai... you're hurting-"
"I don't care!" she hissed, making the crying boy silence himself. For now anyway.
Itachi sighed and simply continued. Had anyone seen them in their disguises, they would've seen a father with his wife, the wife pulling their child by the ear. Knocking on the door he knew Naruto was in, he took off his disguise and waited, hearing some shuffling. Inside, Naruto grumbled about ANBU captains having similar habits. He opened the door and mumbled, "You know, the whole making Jiraiya go after the chick thing was rather unnecessary. I was hoping to explain everything to him."
Itachi just shrugged, his smirk hidden behind the collar of his coat. "I thought it rather amusing. Sorry, but the thought of tricking a sannin will make anybody giddy." Itachi said. Many would think it strange that he said it all in his normal stoic voice, but Naruto just shrugged.
"So who are-" he was suddenly tackled by an orange and black blur that wrapped itself around his abdomen.
"H there! Tobi's happy to finally meet you!" said a rather bubbly looking young man, probably four years older than Naruto. He had black spiky hair, the normal Akatsuki clothes, and an orange spiral mask on his face.
"Naruto-kun, this here is Tobi. And behind me is Deidara." Itachi said, before jerking a thumbe behind him. Sure enough, a person with blond hair that reminded him of Ino's walked up to him and made a peace sign.
"So you're the Uzumaki kid eh? Un." she said while smirking. he could finally tell it was a woman because of the voice. Naruto nodded towards her before looking back down at the happy masked guy.
"Where can I get a mask like that?" he asked, thinking he'd probably look cool using one of those. Maybe he wasn't obsessed with orange, but it was still his favorite color. Even with the mask, he could see a shiny blue eye tinkling like that of a child.
(With Jiraiya)
"Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!" he chanted as he ran back towards the inn. When he reached the hottie, she suddenly passed out and didn't wake up for nearly ten minutes. When she finally woke up, she was scared and said gibberish about a man with red eyes, the eyes having three tomoe spinning around them. He then said that she should go home and rest, something she gladly did, before beginning to panic and rush back to the inn, hoping Naruto hadn't been taken.
He barged into the room, bitting his thumb and going through hand signs. He was halfway through summoning a toad when he finally realized what was happening. And he fainted with the image of Naruto and Tobi playing cards, Deidara and Tayuya comparing the arts of music and sight, and Itachi looking questioningly at a pair of contacts in his hands.
Yeah, even I thought that was stupid. Don't know why I did it, I just did.
Anyway, hope you liked the Tora thing. I haven't seen anyone use it, so I really hope I did something original.
Review please! They're like the candles to my birthday cake. and their the only light to this cold, dark place that is supposed to be my mind. I can't see my fingers in this... (Slaps himself repeatedly in the face) I gotta stop mimicking Chrona. It's bad for my health.
Anyway, ja ne!
