Chapter 1 - Maelstrom Waves
In another world, in another time
The son of prince Vegeta, Trunks, used all his might and energy to find the seven legendary dragon balls. Placing them on his table fitted to hold each one, he began to prepare for the summoning of the might dragon Shenron. Although the dragon himself has limits, he is still very powerful and would often guide those who summon him with knowledge should their wish reach the realm of impossibility.
"Are you going to make your wish now Trunks?" the boy in question turned to see a petite girl with purple skin and pinkish-redish hair.
"I'm just about to Supreme Kai." Trunks said rubbing his hands together as the dragon balls began to glow as they were all aware of how close they were together. "Eternal dragon! By your name I summon you forth, Shenron!" he yelled making the balls grow brighter before making everything around them grow dark.
As the darkness filled the atmosphere, a bright light appeared revealing a gigantic green dragon with brown horns and red eyes, "Speak your wish." it commanded.
Trunks stood tall a took a deep breath, "Take your time Trunks." she said.
Trunks nodded, "Shenron with all your power, I ask you to summon me a hero with the potential to save the many universes and timelines." he requested.
"Very well it will be done." Shenron said before flying into the air and back down to where the dragon balls before they all rose into the air and dispersed once again for someone to locate another day.
"So what now?" Supreme Kai asked getting a shrug.
Suddenly Trunks found himself on the defensive as he pulled out his sword the moment a sudden burst of energy appeared. Taking the time to come up with a strategy, Trunks prepared for whatever Shenron must have summoned to fulfill his wish. When the light died down, an infant swaddled in a blue blanket could be seen lying on the floor. The baby was rather fine despite being ripped out from who knows where.
"You summoned a baby!?" Supreme Kai practically yelled into his ear..
Trunks face faulted before realizing what he had said earlier, "I did say potential hero and not a real hero." he admitted realizing why he had summoned a baby.
Supreme Kai sighed, "Well you wished for a potential hero and now it's your responsibility to both raise and train him." she said making him face fault again.
"What!? Who said I had to raise him?" Trunks asked.
"A) you summoned him. B) You took him from who knows where. C) You have potentially changed a timeline completely from removing wherever this kid came from." she said making Trunks sigh.
Before he could come up with some excuse the baby started crying loudly prompting Supreme Kai to run to its side. She picked him up and started moving him around make some noises hoping to calm it down.
"Oh did the mean saiyan rip you away from your parents?" she asked making the baby calm down.
"Hey what the hell is going on here?" both the kai and saiyan turned their heads to man wearing a white jacket and hat.
"Trunks kidnapped a child from his parents." she answered making Trunks look sweaty.
The reason for his fear is how well he knew this stranger. This man in white was none other than Jotaro Kujo, a strong warrior who recently learned how to use KI making him more ferocious. Originally a normal teenager, Jotaro found himself in a bizarre adventure that lead to defeating a vampire man who gained the power to manipulate time. Long story short Jotaro kicked his prideful ass and saved several universes and timelines that were modified and fixed everything after the final fight was over.
Now Trunks tried to put up a brave face while inwardly shaking as Jotaro's gaze was covered by his hat, "So you like kidnapping kids huh? You sick perv." he said cracking his knuckles.
"Now Jotaro it wasn't intentional. I didn't mean to take this baby from wherever or whenever he came from." Trunks tried to reason.
"How do you unintentionally kidnap a kid?" Jotaro asked as he slowly approached the saiyan who was waving his hands around trying to reason with him.
Supreme Kai chuckled as she kept comforting the infant, "Don't worry little baby, I can't help bring you back to your parents, but at the very least the mean man who took you away is getting his just deserts." she said with a chuckle making the baby giggle.
"Jotaro please no!"
Supreme Kai turned away as she could hear nothing, but the sound of a beatdown followed by someone screaming ORA several times. Turning back she could see Trunks bleeding from his head with X's over his eyes along with a tissue stuck in his nose. Meanwhile Jotaro was dusting his hands off.
"So are you going to be able to take this kid back to his time Supreme Kai?" Jotaro asked dusting his hat off as well.
She looked at the baby's giggling form, "I have to, but I don't know what timeline he's from or what will happen if I try to send him back. Any number of things could happen." she said.
Jotaro approached the infant, upon inspection the baby had three whisker marks on each side and red hair with violet eyes. He had to admit the baby was adorable, but he would never say such soft things especially around other people. It just wasn't his style.
"And if we can't find his timeline?" he asked.
Supreme Kai sighed, "I guess we'll have to keep him here, but I can't watch him since I have several timelines to watch over. Then there are the others, we only have machines and time patrollers and I don't expect Tokitoki to take care of him." said bird soon found itself landing on her head while picking on her.
Jotaro did not looked amuse, despite how funny things can be, he was way to stoic for his own good. Every other time was just him being angry and impatient.
"Does this kid have a name at least? Maybe we can track his timeline through his parentage." Jotaro suggested getting a nod.
Supreme Kai quickly lifted the baby up wondering if his name was stitched somewhere. Taking a couple minutes she checked his baby clothes and blanket finding a strange swirl with a little tag on it.
Hello my name is:
Naruto
"Naruto? As in fishcake? Who would name their own child as in food? Maybe it was a good idea that Trunks took this kid away. I can only imagine the crazy people that wanted to raise him. Still, who's going to take care of him?" she asked.
Jotaro sighed, "Well I wonder who is going to be the poor fool who has to take care of him. What a pain." he said taking his white hat off to run his hand over his hair.
Over a decade and a half later
Putting his black hat on, Naruto grabbed his black jacket with a chain hanging on the coat flap. Hearing a knock on the door, he opened up the door to find a king.
"Naruto-nii!" Naruto looked to see a young boy with black spiky hair and red and yellow martial arts gi.
"Beat, what's going on? Why are you yelling so early in the morning?" Naruto asked keeping his signature scowl on.
"Supreme Kai has a mission for us. We gotta hurry since she looked kind of nervous about this one." Beat said with urgency in his voice.
"All right, all right, let me get ready first damn it." Naruto said with a groan.
"Ok, better hurry!" Beat said taking off into the air.
"Yare yare, I better get some grub before I'm gone for a week or something." he said to himself before heading back inside.
Naruto quickly grabbed a bowl of cereal with some toast downing it quickly. Making sure everything was in order, he grabbed his keys, turned his hat and looked at the photos. Looking at it, he could see a photo of a scowling man and a scowling kid with red hair covering his eyes. Next to it was the same scowling man whose eyes were covered by his white hat holding a red haired baby. Finally there was the man who looked aged putting a black hat on the red haired, both were not scowling.
"I miss you old man." Naruto said rubbing the white hat that sat next to the photos. "At least Holy was kind enough to watch over me after you left." he said turning to a photo of him and the scowling man being hugged by a woman with the brightest smile.
Not looking back, he quickly left his house and took off into the air towards the time nest.
At the nest
Naruto looked to see Beat rapidly stomping his feet in anticipation. Naruto sighed at the kid's actions and followed him inside to meet with Trunks.
"Oh good you two are here, Naruto you've been at this since you were a little, but Beat here needs the experience. Hence why I decided to pair you up again." Trunks explained.
"Yare yare, you've put us together for so long that this brat calls me his brother." Naruto said, "So what's the job this time?" he asked.
"It's out of the ordinary, it's actually on the other side of the world in another timeline. You see there's this place where warriors control the power of the elements, but can't use KI like we can. You might be disturbed by what you see." Trunks said before revealing what was inside the scroll.
Scroll pov
Several Konoha ninja can be seen on the ground as a redheaded Uzumaki was on her last limbs barely able to hold her kitana as her two opponents came closer. Before her came Zabuza Momochi, A rank missing nin and member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist along with some hunter nin from Kiri. Both were engulfed by a strange dark energy.
"Kushina Uzumaki, red hot habanero of Konoha and husband of the Yondaime hokage. Not so tough now are ya?" Zabuza asked with a chuckle.
Kushina gritted her teeth as she struck blades with Zabuza to the point his kubikiribocho broke her kitana in half forcing her to drop it before falling on one knee.
"Haku, you finish her off. You need to get your first kill one of these days. Why not make it an S rank nin of all people? I'll take Hatake." he said making the nin nod.
The hunter nin pulled out several senbon and held them in between the spaces of their fingers, "It will be done Zabuza-sama." they said before tossing the senbon directly towards Kushina's skull.
end of scroll
"That's messed up!" Beat cried out.
"Tsk, it can't be helped Beat. What's the mission anyways Trunks?" Naruto asked.
"You see that Zabuza character was supposed to be defeated and then put in a death like state by that masked figure. Both were meant to retreat to fight another day, but for some reason they had their power amplified and defeated the group from Konoha. It's your mission to make sure both sides survive." Trunks explained.
"Understood, come on Beat. You need the experience fighting someone strong." Naruto said.
"I hope I don't stab someone in the skull for it." Beat responded sounding bitter.
"Good luck!" Trunks called out.
Wave country
It was just an ordinary mission, who knew the bridge builder lied so he could have good protection for his bridge to be built? Regardless, Kakashi agreed with the genin despite being green and unprepared for the dangerous world of shinobi. Among them was Kushina Uzumaki, her twin children Menma and Natsumi, the last Uchiha and son of her best friend, Sasuke. Oh and some hooker...
"Hey!"
I mean some prostitute...
"Hey!"
Whore...
"Hey!"
Useless...
"Why are you so mean to me?"
Because you aren't going to be useful until shippuden!
"Sakura who are you talking to?" asked Kushina.
"The voice! The weird guy who's been calling me names." Sakura said getting odd looks from her team and sensei's.
'This girl needs help.' were the thoughts of the shinobi and their client Tazuna.
Their thoughts were cut off as Kakashi noticed something flying from the distance, "Get down!" he yelled and everyone ducked at the sight of a giant butcher knife flying towards them.
"Copy cat Kakashi, a pleasure."
"Zabuza Momochi, former member of the Seven Swordsmen of the mist. What brings you here?" Kakashi asked.
"I'm actually here for that bridge builder of yours, hand him over and you can all walk away from here." Zabuza said retrieving his sword.
"You'll be six feet under before I'll you do that!" Kakashi said, "Kushina with me, team form a diamond pattern over Tazuna." Kakashi ordered getting nods.
Just as Zabuza was going to run in, he fell on his knee and clutched his heart. He looked up to see the two jounin elite charging at him. When suddenly they jumped back at the sight of senbon nearly hitting them.
"Haku I thought I told you..." he was interrupted at the sight of a dark aura around a Kiri Hunter nin.
"I apologize Zabuza-Sama, but I could not sit and watch." Haku said before Zabuza felt a dark aura engulf him as well.
"No worries, you need the experience after all." Zabuza said as both prepared for their fight.
Meanwhile with Beat and Naruto
Both were flying in the sky looking over the forests of wave country searching for energy signatures.
"Do you sense anything Beat?" Naruto Asked.
"No, only a few animals and some civilian level signature, but that was probably the fisherman we saw a while back." Beat responded.
"Damn, why didn't the scroll send us to their exact location?" Naruto Asked.
"I know it's weird, we should be directly in front of the fight by now." Beat said.
Then suddenly both turned their heads at the sight of a powerful explosion.
"That must be them!" Beat said.
Both put some more energy into their flight and went directly to the confrontation. Arriving at the scene, both came to the sight of Haku decimating the genin and Zabuza putting a lot of pressure on Kushina.
"Beat, I'll get the sword guy, you get the mask." Naruto ordered getting a nod as both rushed in.
Back in the fight
"So this what the red hot habanero has to offer me?" Zabuza mocked.
Kushina gritted her teeth as she tried to push back the heavy sword. Looking back at Kakashi, she could see him swimming around like a sea turtle in a small bowl. Yondaime's best student her ass. How the hell did he get trapped in an orb of water? She really missed Obito, he may have been somewhat hot headed, but she was too. At the end of the day, Kushina didn't let her arrogance get her into trouble.
"Now I love to stay around and play, but... AHHHHHH!" Kushina fell on her butt shocked as some black blur ran flew past her and took Zabuza with it.
She turned her head around looking for where he went to find several trees being demolished, "Dattebane?" she asked herself. Suddenly she turned to see the water clone popped freeing Kakashi. She sweat dropped as he got his kunai out ready to fight. And he wonders why he hasn't made S rank yet.
"Fire style: Fireball jutsu!" yelled the supposed last Uchiha about a thousand times only for them to either miss or not work.
"Damn how is the jutsu not working? It's the pride of the Uchiha clan!" Sasuke yelled.
"Because you spam it more than I spam shadow clones." Menma deadpanned as his sister Natsumi nodded.
"Even I could land a hit without wasting too much chakra." Natsumi said.
"Screw you guys I'm an Uchiha! If I can't land a hit, what makes you think..." Sasuke was interrupted by a loud blur grabbing Haku and destroying several trees.
Back with the missing nin and apprentice, Beat and Naruto made their appearance.
"Who the hell are you two?" Zabuza growled as he recovered from breaking down several trees.
Beat and Naruto nodded at each other before taking on their assigned opponents.
"Hi Mr. Mask man, I'm your new opponent." Beat said with excitement.
"It matters not, I will defeat anyone who stands in the way of Zabuza-sama." Haku said.
Naruto didn't bother wasting words as he engaged Zabuza head on avoiding all his sword strikes. Taking every second he was given, Naruto punched every opening he was given including the shoulder, chest, stomach, legs and arms. Every hit slowly started breaking fracturing the missing nin's bones. After a few minutes, he could see Zabuza becoming more frustrated with every swing.
"Enough! I'm not just a swordsman!" Zabuza yelled as he jumped back and started making several hand seals. "Hidden Mist Jutsu!" he yelled creating a large mist that even Beat noticed. "Bet you can't see me... GUH!" Zabuza fell to his knees clutching his gut.
"You forget, you can't rely on your eyes all the time. Especially when your opponent fights dirty." Naruto said before lifting the swordsmen up by his shirt and punching him into the ground.
"Zabuza-sama!" Haku yelled trying to run to her master's side only for Beat to tackle her down.
"Hey pay attention, I'm your opponent!" Beat whined.
"Fool! You'll pay for that!" Haku yelled before forming several hand seals as well. "Ice Style: Demonic Mirroring!" Beat was soon surrounded by a dome of mirrors. "Now you will experience my true power!" she said.
"Cool! Now I've been wanting to get serious the whole time!" Beat said as he started punching a mirror.
"Fool, my mirrors can't... *CRACK* What the?" Haku saw Beat smash one of her mirrors.
"Aw man, do I seriously have to go through every single one?" Beat complained.
Haku took her chance and tossed several senbon missing Beat as he reappeared and missed his chance to hit her. Not paying attention, he started attacking the wrong mirror and shattering it out of existence. Haku ignored his optimism and constantly moved between mirrors thinking the boy would run out of energy. This went on for way longer than necessary until Beat finally hit Haku during her transition.
"Sweet, finally got you!" Beat yelled as he punched her in the face completely shattering her mask completely. "And the baddy behind the mask is..." Beat trailed off as Haku's hair covered her face until she got up to look him in the face with a glare. This was replaced by a look of confusion as Beat's face blushed up a storm.
(Naruto OST - Sexy)
Haku was about to speak when Beat suddenly got down and bowed.
"I'm so sorry miss had I known you were a girl I wouldn't have punched you so hard! Please forgive me! I'm still a rookie and got to excited! I honestly thought you were a guy!" Beat yelled quickly apologizing to Haku who had tint of pink on her cheeks. Ignoring his rapid apologies, she quickly decided to deny her gender as she always did expecting that funny reaction she gets from all the boys who hit on her.
"I'm a boy actually." she lied.
(End of song)
Beat suddenly started flaring his energy, "YOU MADE ME APOLOGIZE FOR NOTHING YOU LOUZY CROSSDRESSING PIECE OF CRAP! YOU ARE SO DEAD!" he yelled so close that the kyuubi would actually back away knowing who the true alpha is.
Haku immediately regretted this decision and found Beat throttling her only to receive punches in the face.
Meanwhile, Zabuza wasn't fairing much better as his ninjutsu was too slow to keep up with Naruto who kept using instant transmission to avoid all his attacks only to attack him from behind. The missing nin was having enough and Naruto knew that he was supposed to let the pair run away once they had enough.
Zabuza gritted his teeth behind his mask, "Haku we're done here! Retreat for now!" he ordered before turning to see her getting pummeled by what appeared to be a little kid.
"Beat that's enough." Naruto said making the boy get off from the bruised and battered Haku.
"Right... away... Zabuza... sama..." she said stumbling to his side.
Zabuza rolled his eyes and grabbed her before using a shunshin to escape. Both time patrollers nodded at a job well done. Their celebration would have to be put on hold as the Konoha nin made their way to their site.
The konoha nin were surprised to see a few craters and signs of heavy fighting while both patrollers looked unscratched.
"Hi how are ya?" Beat asked trying to avoid silent awkwardness.
Everyone else sweatdropped at the question, "Excuse me, but have you two seen a swordsman and a hunter nin nearby?" asked Kakashi.
"Yeah, we kicked their asses and sent them packing!" Beat said making Naruto sigh.
"Liar, if an Elite like me couldn't land a it on them then how would you have?" Sasuke asked with arrogance as Sakura had hearts in her eyes.
Kakashi however actually scoffed as well, but did notice the destruction and sounds of fighting. He decided to let it slip for now and hopefully gain information from them for now.
"Hey Naruto can you read me?" Naruto turned to his communicator on his scouter.
Pulling it from his pocket, Naruto placed it on, "What do you want Trunks? We beat the pair like you told us to." he responded.
"Yeah, I see that. Anyways I'm going to need you guys to stick around for a bit. There's a distortion coming up and I need both of you there in case it becomes too late for us to stop it."
"Yare yare, fine. I'll call you back once we make shelter." Naruto said as he turned off his scouter. "Come one Beat, we gotta go and wait for another distortion."
"Ok Naruto, bye ninja people!" Beat said waving goodbye.
Kushina's eyes widened at the name, "Wait!" she yelled only for both to take off into the air.
The pair left the Konoha nin and Tazuna shocked at the sight of them flying into the air. For the older shinobi, the only people they've heard who've developed flight capabilities was the current sandaime Tsuchikage and his grandfather the shodaime. Sasuke seethed at the fact someone had more skill than him while the twins had stars in their eyes at the cool technique. Tazuna wished he hired those two instead seeing as his attackers disappeared the moment they showed up.
"Tazuna, how far is your house?" Kakashi asked knocking him out of his stupor.
"Oh uh... not to far. I'll lead you there." he said.
The next day
"So what's the plan?" Beat asked.
"Kick Trunks' ass for making us stay and camp." He said sarcastically.
"So how long are we stuck here?" Beat asked.
"Until those two show up again along with whatever's got Trunks panties in a bunch." Naruto responded.
"Do you think we'll have to help those ninja people again?" Naruto nodded, "They don't even look like ninja, I mean aren't they supposed to wear black and have masks? I mean they're also supposed to be sneaky and tactical, but these guys shoot fire from their mouths."
"This timeline is weird Beat, so was the one my old man was from before he moved his family to Tokitoki city." Naruto countered.
"Aw, well I wanted to meet real ninja, not magic people." Beat complained, "Oh well, while we're here do you wanna train?" he asked feeling bored.
Naruto got up and stretched, "Sure, exercise or sparring?" he asked.
"Sparring! I bet I can land a real hit on you this time." Beat said eagerly making Naruto smirk as his enthusiasm.
"Ok, here are the rules..."
With Team 7
The team made it to Tazuna's house, they met Tsunami and her son Inari. The kid was rather withdrawn and ignored the shinobi as if they weren't worth their time. Regardless, they took the previous day to rest and prepared knowing Zabuza was still around. Whether or not those two stranger defeated the pair, they didn't find any bodies meaning they aren't dead, but likely retreated instead.
Kakashi was the first one up for the day and readied everyone's training. He made them climb trees which made them all sigh and since Kushina hadn't been able to meet up with the team until about a week ago. The Uzumaki woman was not remotely happy and was ready to pummel the idiot scarecrow. She talked to Minato about this to the point of begging, but the "genius" decided his "best" (and only) student.
Kushina sometimes wondered why they called her the airhead and her husband the genius. As she went on thinking about her children and their teammates poor training, she didn't notice Menma wonder off. She didn't get worried, her little knucklehead wore bright orange... then again her other knuckleheaded princess wore orange with black. Excusing herself, she went off in search of her son... her last son.
With Menma
The yondaime's son found himself searching the woods, he didn't understand what was pulling him. Just as he fell off the tree for the hundredth time, he felt some kind of disturbance in the air. As if some kind of gravitational pull grabbed his attention and pointed him to another source of energy. It was intriguing, he wasn't like that jerk Sasuke that went off looking for power, but this energy source was drawing him.
As he dug his way through the trees, the energy source split into two and it felt more intense the closer he arrived. It just made him want to run and run fast. A few minutes later he could feel tremors as the power became more powerful than ever. He arrived and his jaw dropped at the sight.
Those two strangers were back and were sparring.
"I got you now Naruto!" Beat yelled as he landed a combo of kicks and punches ending with a high kick only for it to be blocked.
"Beat don't let your excitement distract you. The moment your distracted..." Beat lost sight of Naruto and immediately fell face first into a tree breaking it in half, "Is the moment your six feet under." Naruto finished as Beat cleaned the splinters off of his clothes.
"That's it, no bars back!" Beat yelled as he squatted gathering energy.
"Beat I swear to god if your doing what I think your doing, I'm going to kick your ass." Naruto deadpanned.
The energy started surrounding Beat as the kid closed his eyes doing some breathing exercises, "Ahhh"
"Beat."
"ahhhhhh"
"Beat."
"AHHHH!"
"Beat..."
"AHHHHH!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH!"
"BEAT I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The whole earth started shaking as the ground ripped open and stones started rising from the ground defying gravity. Naruto groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. The energy was blue for a few moment before rapidly turning yellow making the surrounding stones explode. When suddenly Beat started to yell even louder than before as his hair transformed into a gold color and becoming more spiky.
"I'm coming for you now Nii-san!" Beat yelled as he suddenly disappeared in a burst of energy leaving a giant trench in his path.
Menma looked in awe until that Naruto guy disappeared and reappeared stopping the blur revealing Beat taking a knee to the chest. The younger boy fell back clutching his chest as he coughed up blood. Beat started panting rapidly before his transformation reverted turning his hair back to black.
"What the hell did I say you idiot!? I said no transformations!" Naruto yelled before kicking him on the side.
"I needed the boost..." Beat responded in between breaths.
"It's just training you moron, you know how long Holy and Erina had to keep me in bed when I awakened to super saiyan two?" Naruto asked.
Like the old man, Naruto had a soft spot, but refused to admit it or show it. He loved his foster mother and foster grandmother, but they can be a bit too much. The affection became a bit too much when started dating. Hopefully Yukako-chan doesn't notice he's gone for a few days.
"Hey Naruto can I ask you something?" Beat asked interrupting Naruto's train of thought.
"Shoot."
"What do we do about our stalker?" Naruto raised a brow before noticing Menma in his neon orange jumpsuit.
"What stalker? If there's someone there, they're wearing something pretty concealing to keep me from noticing them among the trees and other plants." Naruto said sarcastically making Menma fume at the jab on his fashion sense.
"Hey this stalker has a name you know!" Menma yelled.
"Wow, nature has the ability to talk back." Naruto said messing around.
"Why I oughta...!"
"Anyways, why are you here kid?" Naruto asked.
Menma calmed down for a moment, "Oh, well you see..." Menma started poking the tips of his index fingers nervously, "I think I felt your energy or something which led to me finding you guys fighting." he answered.
"Yare yare, we just had to find a witness." Naruto said making the genin nervous.
"Heh... whatever." Beat said before his eyes turned into X's making Menma sweatdropped as Naruto sighed.
"Menma-kun where are you?" both turned to Kushina who made her way past the greenery, "Oh there you are..." she trailed off noticing Naruto.
"Are you sure? He's wearing some good camouflage, I wouldn't be surprised if you confused him with a bush or a tree." Naruto said sarcastically making a tick mark grow on Menma's forehead.
"Ok that's it! You and me right now tomato!" Menma yelled rolling up his sleeves.
"Tomato?" Naruto asked.
"You have read hair and your head has a round shape." Menma explained before charging at Naruto.
"Menma-kun wait! I think he's..."
Naruto stuck out his finger holding Menma back before flicking him into a tree, "Going to kick your ass." he finished for her. Naruto took his hat off revealing his straight red hair as scratching it making Kushina's eyes widened as his features looked familiar.
"Excuse me shinobi-san, but what is your name?" Kushina asked wanting to confirm her suspicions.
"I'm not a shinobi, but the name is Naruto Kujo." he answered.
'Could it really be Naruto-kun?' she asked feeling the tears falling.
Naruto turned his attention to Beat who was still unconscious. Naruto immediately started slapping him around hoping to wake him up. The red head sighed at his surrogate brother's form. He could only imagine the earful he would get from the women.
'Oh Naruto why would hurt a sweet boy like Beat? You should be more gentle next and rough house less.' -Granny Suzie Q.
'Oh my goodness Beat! Naruto how could you? Why do you time patrollers have to be so rough?' -Mama Holy.
'Why do you to have to discipline him this way? I get he's annoying, but he's still a kid at the end of the day.' -Yukako.
"Naru-chan my baby! You've finally come back to me after all of these years!" wait who said that? Naruto turned to see the red haired lady glomping onto his back in a tight grip.
"What the hell? Hey lady get off me!" Naruto yelled waking Menma and Beat up.
Both went wide eyed at Kushina who refused to let go of Naruto. The latter however looked displeased as his hat covered his eyes revealing he was not comfortable with the older woman grabbing onto him like a life preserver.
"We've been looking for you! Since Minato sealed the fox inside you, everything went to hell! You disappeared and it's been like living in an endless sea of depression. Now your back!" Kushina cried onto his back.
"Kaa-san?"
"Naruto-nii?"
Both sweatdropped as Kushina cried louder, "I'm not letting you go Naru-chan! I love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love..."
Naruto was having enough and used one of his free arms to use instant transmission and remove himself from her death grip.
"NOO! NARU-CHAN! HE'S GONE AGAIN!" she screamed as she fell onto her knees.
Naruto appeared by Beat, "What the hell is your problem lady?" Naruto asked.
"Naru-chan!" Kushina yelled happily trying to pounce him.
Naruto immediately grabbed Beat and side stepped out of the way, "Listen lady, I have no idea who you are or why your giving me weird nicknames, but I'm just going to mind my business elsewhere."
"No please stay with me!" for a moment Kushina realized how creepy that sounded.
"Sorry, but I gotta run. Maybe I'll see you later." and with that Naruto and Beat took off into the sky again leaving a crying Kushina.
"Kaa-san, what the hell was that?" Menma asked.
"Naru-chan... my family was almost complete..." she cried as she hugged Menma.
"Kaa-san what's wrong?" Menma asked worried for his mother.
"Menma-kun, I was so close... so close to getting your brother back..." she cried more onto her son before whaling.
Menma was oddly confused as to what his mother was trying to tell him. He knew he had a brother, but it was a sore subject to talk about. All his father told him was that Naruto went missing the day he was born by some dragon. Then again, it was the nine tails attack and Minato could have just gone insane after the destruction had occurred. One thing for sure, he was going to get answers out of those two for making his mother cry.
A few days later
Time passed and no one had been able to find any sign of the two strangers. Kushina started putting the thought of her possibly reuniting with her long lost son aside and put Kakashi in his place with his lack luster training. Soon the day came when the group would have to fight against Zabuza again.
This time it was a lot easier, Kushina and Kakashi had Zabuza on the ropes, Sakura was left defending Tazune pretending she was the most useful out of everyone besides Sasuke. The other genin were stuck fighting Haku who was mopping the floor with them still. Oh and Sasuke's eyes turned red, likely from watching too much TV or something. Eh probably nothing special.
Things seemed bleak for the genin at least as the missing nin was still able to hold his own keeping both konoha shinobi on their toes. No one had time to register the two large energy signatures heading their way.
*BOOM*
Everyone stopped and turned to see Naruto and Beat landing leaving a spider web of cracks below their feet.
"Beat same opponents as before, but avoid leaving any killing blows." Naruto warned.
"Got it!" Beat responded as both powered up and dashed towards their respective opponents.
Naruto quickly grabbed Zabuza and slammed him into the bridge's concrete making the whole structure shake.
"You again?" Zabuza asked quickly recovering.
"I didn't take you swordsmen for cowards. Are we going to finish or are you going to runaway like last time?" Naruto asked as he turned his hat slightly to the right.
Zabuza gritted his teeth and formed hand seals for a hidden mist jutsu followed by several water dragons. Not even taking a moment to breathe, Naruto dashed around uppercutting Zabuza's face and grabbing his legs before spinning around a few times and slamming him onto the structure continuing the intense shaking. Tazuna was ready to feint at his poor bridges destruction at the sight of all the constant fighting.
Meanwhile Beat smashed through a couple of ice mirrors finding Haku hiding within them, "Wow same trick again? You guys are some really lame ninjas, Why don't you do something cool like hide in the shadows or use smoke bombs? You know not that weird magic stuff you do and why are you guys called ninjas if you wear regular clothes?" Beat asked making everyone inside sweat drop.
'Is he thinking about old school shinobi?' they all thought before the saiyan started smashing more ice mirrors until he found Haku again.
"I found you Mr. Crossdresser and I see you got a new mask. Well it's time for your beatdown. Haha get it? Cause my name is Beat?" Beat asked only to receive the sound of chirping crickets. "I'm still going to kick your butt."
"Hey we don't need your help! I'm an elite and I..." Sasuke was cut off at the sight of Haku being turned into a human punching bag.
He gritted his teeth at the younger boy's immense strength as he could see him grabbing her and spinning her around like Naruto did. Ironically ending the fight as both tossed their respective opponents into each other. Both time patrollers surrounded them.
"It's over, there's nowhere else to run." Naruto stated as the Konoha shinobi ran up behind them.
Before anyone else said anything, everyone turned their heads at the sound of clapping. Among the fog revealed a short overweight man likely in his forties or fifties with short round glasses. The man was soon joined by a few mercenaries nearing a hundred, but that's only an estimate. What they didn't realize, was the chubby looking pale one in the group who wasn't like the ordinary mercenaries.
"Some Demon of the Mist I hired. I had my hopes up when I saw you beating these ninja, but how in the hell did you get your asses handed the moment a pair of brats show up?" asked the short arrogant man.
"Gato! What are you doing here?" asked Zabuza.
"Well I was hoping that once you finished off the bridge builder, which I can see was so successful." Gato said sarcastically, "Then I remembered how expensive missing nin can be. So I decided it would be cheaper to get rid of you as well." he said. "Kill them boys, but leave the women, I can make an extra profit off them." he said lecherously as he looked at Haku, Natsumi and Kushina.
"Sasuke-kun save me from the creep!" Sakura cried.
"I said save the women, why would I want to take you little boy?" Gato asked.
"Hey I'm a girl baka old man!" she yelled.
Suddenly Naruto snapped his head looking at Sakura dead in the eyd, "It's not nice to lie just so you can save yourself." he said.
"Um Naruto, I think this one might be a girl." Beat said.
"Beat what would you know? You can't tell the difference." Naruto said reminding the younger boy of his fight with Haku.
"Enough, get them!" Gato ordered.
Everyone prepared themselves when suddenly a burst of energy bursted behind the crowd mutilating them to everyone's horror. Among the massacre, the mercenaries jumped back at the sight of a chubby pale man wearing orange pants and a sharp pointed hat.
"What the hell? Who are you? I don't remember your face!" Gato yelled only to be ignored.
"Target's identified, two saiyans. Requesting permission to engage." said the figure in a high voice.
"Who the heck is this?" Beat asked wary of the stranger's power.
"Request accepted, engaging saiyans." said the figure before dashing at near lightspeed.
Naruto got in front of and quickly jumped revealing that he kneed the stranger in the chin before bashing his face in with his elbow making a strange sound. Naruto noticed the density of his opponent's face, he's cracked some skulls before, but this character had a harder face. He immediately knew this was no ordinary human.
"Beat watch out! This guy isn't human, but I can't tell what species he is!" Naruto warned before avoiding a blast of energy coming from the stranger's eyes.
Beat went from behind and lift the stranger into the air before quickly slamming him down. The stranger got up and revealed no physical damage or healing factor besides a few scratches.
Gato took his chance seeing the stronger threat being distracted, "What are you waiting for? Attack them!" he ordered knocking the mercenaries out of their shock.
"Get ready!" Kakashi warned.
Beat started blocking several attacks and narrowly avoided a gut punch giving him time slam his wrists down the stranger's head. Naruto decided to double team on him. The next thing they knew, the stranger crashed into the bridge skidding on his arm. The two looked in horror as he pulled up his arm revealing an inhuman wound. The arm itself was leaking electricity along with a few cut wires and a broken metallic container holding the wires and electricity.
"What the hell are you?" Naruto asked feeling a bit of fear for once in his life at the monstrosity in front of him.
"I am android 19 of the red ribbon army. My mission however is classified, but it now involves the destruction of you two saiyans." the stranger said.
"Beat this became a dangerous situation. Don't hold anything back!" Naruto warned more.
"Does that include..."
"Do it!"
Both started focusing their blue energy as the bridge started shaking making everyone turn their heads to the fight. This got mixed reactions from the Konoha group as they felt energy signatures rise to the point Kakashi pulled out his Sharingan to scan for chakra only to find none. Sasuke seethed as he could see their power rising and would demand their strange chakra. He needed it to kill his bastard brother.
The next thing they knew, both Naruto and Beat grew spikey blond hair while emitting a gold like energy.
The Konoha nin and Zabuza put their attention back to their fight decimating the mercenaries while both Uzumaki Namikaze twins overwhelmed them with their heavy amount of shadow clones making it easier. The temporary truce was good and all, but for Tazuna, he started crying that his poor bridge was being battered. It only became worse when the two strangers started smashing that pale guy into the bridge. Gato attempted to make a run for hoping to hire some extra mercenaries only for Android 19 to land in front of him missing an arm and a leg.
"Possibility of mission failure, 70%. Must retreat before destruction occurs." Android 19 attempted to get up and run only for Beat's fist to smash into his head .
"Not so fast robot man!" Beat said rapidly kicking the android in the chest. "Naruto go long!" he said kicking the android towards his brother figure.
Naruto quickly caught Android 19 mid air and slammed him into the guardrail popping his head off.
"Mission failed... shutting down." he said before he lost the light in his eyes.
"This technology doesn't look natural. Beat once we're done helping out here, we need to take this thing to Trunks." Naruto ordered.
"Yeah, that robot was pretty tough unlike everyone else here. It even knew we were saiyans and tried to kill us because of it." Beat responded feeling weirded out by his strange opponent.
Suddenly an arrow landed near them almost hitting Gato who was trying to get away again. They both turned to see a crowd of townspeople armed with domestic objects such as frying pans and gardening tools.
"Menma-Nii I gathered the villagers and we won't be Gato's slaves anymore!" yelled some little kid with a crossbow as everyone behind him cheered in approval.
Their eyes were set to Gato who was trying to crawl away. Naruto powered down and picked up the shrimpy man by the back of his collar. Beat followed Naruto who casually walked towards the crowd despite the ninja barely finishing off the rest of mercenaries.
"Is this yours?" Naruto asked ignoring Gato's pleas to let him him run away and poor attempts at trying to bribe him.
Having enough Naruto tossed the corrupt tycoon practically feeding them to the denizens of Wave country.
"Well we're done here Beat." Beat nodded and was ready to take off.
Kushina ran to their side putting every ounce of chakra into her soles as she grabbed Naruto by his waist and started crying.
"Please, just tell me please." Kushina whimpered as she looked up at Naruto with teary eyes, "Please tell me, are you my lost son Naruto?" she asked.
Naruto's eyes were covered by his hat, "Lady I don't know who you are or what your talking about." he responded making her sob more.
"Naruto... that was the name of my baby boy... I lost him on the day of his birth. You won't believe me, but we sealed the soul of a demon inside him known as the kyuubi and shortly after..." she started breathing heavily, "A dragon or some kind of creature took him..." Naruto's eyes widened.
"Basically Trunks summoned the mighty dragon Shenron."
"The dragon apologized and said my baby was a hero that was called upon somewhere else." she said falling and hugging his knees.
"The idiot asked for a hero, probably someone strong to become a time patroller. We were dying out at one point so it made sense he needed someone strong to help like Goku. I guess Shenron got confused or something and he summoned you as a baby."
"Please tell me! Are you my lost son!?" Kushina asked as she cried.
"Kaa-chan?"
"Kushina-sensei?"
"Kushina-san?"
The Konoha nin were all shocked and worried about the Uzumaki woman's state as she cried and wailed on a stranger.
Naruto made her let go and kneeled before wrapping his arms around her, "I don't if I'm your son or not, but I can see that your still in pain after all these years. I can tell you this, I this won't be the last time you see me." he said letting go.
"I'd love to stay, but I have other places that need me." Naruto said taking off with Beat and Android 19's body before they both disappeared into some kind of portal.
"Kushina-san are you ok?" Kakashi asked running to her side.
Kushina's tears were still streaming, but deep down inside her. Her pain was gone, her sorrow, her regret, her curiosity was gone. She had the one thing that kept her alive all these years. Hope. Hope that her child was alive and waiting for her.
"Yes Kakashi-kun, I'm fine. I'm all fine now." she said smiling.
In the distance, an elderly man with grey facial hair and a black hat with a red logo with two R's was watching over the battle. He rubbed his temples as he saw Android 19's destruction.
"19's dead eh? Lousy saiyans! I better tell Orochimaru about this. He won't be pleased if he loses faith in my androids." said the old man before taking off into the sky as well.
Something was coming and Konoha better prepare itself.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Note: Hey guys this is my other story I agreed to make, you'll be seeing this along with my other story which won't be fully released until a couple of months. Don't worry, I'm doing this so I can finish GioGio and Persona. Ironically those two are short, but will require almost as many chapters as Seven Deadly Sins. So watch out for those. Yes Zero Fullbuster, I know your feeling angsty about Persona. I think I can get it ready by either tomorrow or monday.
