Chapter 13 Akatsuki
"Here you go. Sorry for bringing these back here instead of eating at the shop." Said Naruto brings out many ramen bowls to the Gensokyou residents.
They each take bowls as they eat it.
"This is… good." Said Satori
"Yes… I would love to learn the recipe" Said Sakuya enjoying the ramen
"I rather like eating this at the shop more…" Said Remillia whining
"It can't be helped since we all saw Naruto… fight right?" Asked Yukari chuckling
"Fight? That's more like a one-sided beat down!" Said Marisa laughing
Yukari chuckled at that as she opens a rift for them to see. She shows them that the whole villages are turning the whole villages upside down to find Naruto.
"As you can see, everyone is searching for Naruto and Reimu high and low after their show of power through the whole Elemental Nation. So I don't think you will have the luxury to enjoy the ramen at all…" Said Yukari
"Even Reimu as well?" Said Marisa surprises as Reimu just palmed her face
"Yeah… even I had to hide when asking old man Teuchi to make ramens for everyone. You have no idea how hard the ANBUs trying to sniff me out." Said Naruto chuckling
"But still… this is so worth it. I'm adding this on the article for sure." Said Aya
"I want to eat more…" Said Flander as she just finished her ramen
"Good thing I asked old man Teuchi to make more…" Said Naruto as he brings out another bowl for Flander
Flander cheers happily as she going for another.
"For now… let just enjoy the ramen… and the show." Said Yuyuko as they look at the scene
(Konoha Council)
"What do you mean you can't find him?!" Said Homura
"Forgive us! We had search for him low and high, but Uzumaki was nowhere in the village." Said the ANBU
"Did he leave Konoha?" Asked Koharu
"If he did, wouldn't the sensors squat would have known by now." Said Inoichi
"Sarutobi… what do you have to say in this?" Asked Danzo
"What do you expect me to do? Naruto-kun had gone to who knows where and I even have to deal with many contracts too." Said Hiruzen grabbing his temple
"Contract? Sensei?" Asked Jiraiya
"After seeing his fight, many daimyos and village leader wish to employ for his assistant. Even though I said I have another ninja available but they strictly request for Naruto! And some of them even requesting the whereabouts of this Miko who with Naruto as well." Said Hiruzen
"Consider the brat is the one man army by himself, and that girl can take down Shukaku all by herself, I'm not surprised at all." Said Jiraiya chuckling
"Not to mention the Fire Daimyo pushing me to promote Naruto to Jounin immediately since his showcase had already landed him in bingo book as S-rank ninja." Said Hiruzen
"Already?!" Said Jiraiya surprise as Hiruzen brings out a bingo book and read:

"And here's another." Said Hiruzen reading again

Defeat Shukaku the Sand Spirit all by herself without a sweat

"That's quite a rap sheet there. Considering that Naruto was a dead last before." Said Tsume
"And that girl is no pushover as well…" Said Hiashi
"Naruto probably had to hide his skills since his Academy day. I already dispose all of the reports about him at that time and I suggest you get rid of the though Naruto is a dead last immediately. Because if you underestimate him, you will die." Said Hiruzen pressing at the last part
(Gensokyou)
"S-rank in bingo book?" Asked Alice
"Oh, those are the book that marks the most dangerous ninja in the whole Elemental Nation. You could say that the one in there is quite… infamous." Said Naruto
"Does that mean even if you not promote, you will have a chance to do the tougher mission from now on?" Asked Reimu
"Yeah…" Said Naruto
"But Reimu also got in it. I wonder how can do it as well?" Asked Marisa
"No Marisa. You will not go there to cause chaos to just enter that stupid book." Said Reimu
(Konoha)
At the BBQ restaurant where most of Konoha rookie generations gathered to celebrate as Ino said:
"Come on Shikamaru. You had promoted to Chunin. You should be proud since you are the only one in our generation got to promote." Said Ino
"I won't be so sure about that Ino." Said Asuma
"What do you mean sensei?" Asked Chouji
"Naruto…" Said Asuma
"Eh? But he didn't get promoted." Said Ino
"He didn't get promoted to Chunin. But to Jounin to be exact." Said Kakashi
"Jounin? But he's still a genin?!" Said Kurenai
"His profile in bingo book says otherwise." Said Kakashi
"Bingo book?" Asked Lee
"The Bingo Book is a book that lists the most powerful ninja in the whole Elemental Nation Lee. It is extremely rare for a ninja to be caught the attention of all the ninja in the Elemental Nation. You could say that if you landed yourself in the bingo book, the whole world acknowledges your strength." Said Gai
"And Naruto is the one who got land on it as S-rank. Which is the highest of all. If Lord Hokage didn't promote him to Jounin, it would let us in a bad view toward the others Nation for not appreciate Naruto talent." Said Shino
"And also allowing them to try to recruit Naruto to their Nations too. How troublesome…." Said Shikamaru
"Is S-rank that impressive Kakashi-sensei?" Asked Sakura
"It is. S-rank also represents for Kage Level ninja. Which is the same rank as Lord Hokage and Orochimaru." Said Kakashi
"This is bullshit! How in the world Naruto get stronger so fast?!" Said Kiba slamming his fist
"Jealousy is unbecoming of you Kiba." Said Shino
"I'm not jealous!" Retort Kiba
"But still… this means that in the match, I arrogantly think that I could take him down while he obliviously holding back." Said Neji smiling
"Neji… it was just luck that's all." Said Tenten
"Yeah… it was luck that I even came out alive at all." Said Neji
"And Kakashi said he didn't teach Naruto at this level…" Said Gai
"As I said, I didn't. I try to give him some jutsu scroll to train but he's nowhere to be found at that time so the only thing I could do is training Sasuke." Said Kakashi
"Speaking of Sasuke, where is he?" Asked Asuma
"Sasuke is training. I asked him to come but he refused. Most likely after seeing Naruto power giving him a bitter taste in his mouth." Said Kakashi
"Like that's a surprise." Said Kiba snickering
(At the training field)
Sasuke holding his arms as he looks at the two big rocks that had been punctured through panting. He then remembered what Naruto did before: his strength, speed, power, and even jutsu are off the chart. Looking back at when Naruto summons those… shadow things, he couldn't help but shiver.
'How did he do that? Naruto was nothing like this before. Just what can I do… to reach that level of power?' Though Sasuke as she charges up another Chidori
At the Hokage Tower:
"You want me to bring Tsunade back?" Asked Jiraiya
"Yes, Jiraiya. As you can see, I am too old now. The battle with Orochimaru… well more like Naruto enter half way to finish it. Anyway… because of that, I have decided to pass the Hokage title to Tsunade." Said Hiruzen
"Then what about Naruto?" Asked Jiraiya
"I don't know Jiraiya. But I think that we need to wait until Naruto show up first. I already told the ANBUs and Jounin to keep their eye open." Said Hiruzen
"Do you have any idea where he went?" Asked Jiraiya
"Most likely that… with those girls at the Arena stand." Said Hiruzen chuckling
"… I have to admit, if this isn't the time, I would have proud of him for scoring quite the specimens." Said Jiraiya grinning
(Gensokyou)
"… Can I kill him, Mistress?" Asked Sakuya with her knife out
"Funny. I feel like doing the same thing as well." Said Remillia as she summons out a red spear
"Wait wait! Are you trying to destroy the village? If you do that, then what will happen to Ichiraku old man?" Asked Naruto panic
"Tch… that pervert was saved by the ramen." Said Remillia as she told Sakuya to stand down
"So your mood depend on food?" Asked Mokou sweatdrops
"But it's good." Said Reisen happily slurping it down as well as the others who nodded agree
"… Is the whole Gensokyou obsessed with Ramen or something?" Asked Reimu palming her face
(Back at Konoha)
After the party over, the Jounin that sensing unknown individuals appears in Konoha dismiss the Genin and one Chunin as they following the two. To their surprise, the two turn out to be Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki.
Kurenai is now carrying Kakashi as Asuma and Gai prepare to hold them off for the reinforcement. Kisame is raring to go but…
"Kisame stand down." Said Itachi
"Huh?" Asked Kisame
"We are not here to declare war. Regrettably, our target seems to be not here at all. Let's leave." Said Itachi
"Tch… can't be helped then." Said Kisame as the two disappeared
Meanwhile with Naruto:
"Here's the bowl old man Teuchi." Said Naruto handing Teuchi empty bowls of ramen
"Thank you, my boy. So… do your friends enjoy it?" Asked Teuchi
"Of course. Your ramen will always be number one Teuchi. I will want another later date." Said Naruto as he hands Teuchi the money
"Of course. I'll always welcome my number one customer." Said Teuchi as he takes the money as Ayame brings the bowls away
"Then later old man." Said Naruto as he walks away then suddenly many ANBUs appeared out.
"Naruto Uzumaki. The Hokage wishes to see you." Said the ANBU
"The old man? Well… sure why not?" Said Naruto shrugged as Naruto then sinks into shadow and disappeared.
As the ANBUs searching for Naruto, Naruto appeared in front of the Hokage desk as he said: "Yo old man. You want to see me?"
"Argh! Naruto. Don't just suddenly appear like that!" Said Hiruzen holding his beating heart
"You are Hokage. Shouldn't you be more vigilant? But anyway, what is it that you need me for?" Asked Naruto
"Ah yes. Naruto-kun. Can you tell me where are the First and the Second Hokage now?" Asked Hiruzen
Naruto looks confused at that as he then raises his hand up as the two shadows rose up. He then said: "What do you want with them?"
"… You… you really can summon and command the two Hokage." Said Hiruzen
"Your point?" Asked Naruto
"Can you tell me where did you learn this?" Asked Hiruzen
"… No." Said Naruto
"But why?" Asked Hiruzen
"Ok then… let me ask you this. Would you tell me about the jutsu inside the Forbidden Scroll of Sealing?" Asked Naruto
Hiruzen could only look away at that question
"See? There's your answer." Said Naruto as he prepares to leave
"W-Wait Naruto-kun…" Said Hiruzen
"What is it?" Asked Naruto
"Do you know about the Bingo Book?" Asked Hiruzen
"Yeah… why?" Asked Naruto
"Well… due to your performance at the Chunin Exam, you had been landed in it as S-rank and so does your girlfriend as well." Said Hiruzen
"What are you trying to say?" Asked Naruto
"Because of that, the Daimyos pushing you to be promoted to Jounin and they also wish to ask for your and your Miko girlfriend assistant." Said Hiruzen
"Haiz… are you sure? Since I won't be able to stay in Konoha for long." Said Naruto
"I know… which is why I'm giving you the Sannin travel right." Said Hiruzen
"… Huh?" Asked Naruto
"Ahem… the Sannin travel right is a privilege for my three student Jiraiya, Orochimaru from before, and Tsunade. With it, they don't have to stay in the village for long and I will only ask for their help in emergency times." Said Hiruzen
"Wait… then why didn't you ask this Tsunade or Jiraiya when Sand and Sound invade?" Asked Naruto
"Jiraiya already here but Tsunade is related to something to something I'm about to tell you." Said Hiruzen
"What do you mean?" Asked Naruto
"The truth is… I'm not getting younger anymore. And I'm in dire need of a successor." Said Hiruzen
"And… what is that have to do with me?" Asked Naruto
"I was wondering if you could join my student Jiraiya to look for Tsunade? She'll be the Fifth Hokage." Said Hiruzen
"… I refuse. I already have a training schedule." Said Naruto
"But don't you want the privilege?" Asked Hiruzen
"Huh… If I don't want to stay here, then may I ask who could stop me?" Asked Naruto chuckled as his eyes flash red as his two Shadow as well
The ANBUs immediately stand in front of the Hokage as they protecting the Hokage. Hiruzen then tells the ANBUs to stand down and said: "Stand down."
"But Hokage-sama…" "Stand down all of you. If Naruto wants to attack, then he would have told his two summons to fight already." Said Hiruzen as the ANBUs could only nod and vanished
"At least you know that old man. Now if you excuse me…" Said Naruto prepares to leave
"What if I told you about your parent?" Asked Hiruzen
Naruto stopped mid-step as he said: "Too late. I already know."
"W-What?! But how?" Asked Hiruzen shocked
"Old man. I know you are smarter than this. Who else is there beside my parent?" Asked Naruto
Hiruzen then deep in thought at that. After recalling the scene, he remembered there's one more person… or being there.
"The Kyuubi…" Said Hiruzen
"Bingo~!" Said Naruto cheerfully
"So that's how you managed to use the Kyuubi chakra." Said Hiruzen
"Wo there… I think that's enough info I gave you." Said Naruto holding his hand up
"Then does that mean… this summon jutsu is also from Kyuubi?" Asked Hiruzen
"Not even close…" Said Naruto
'Then does that mean he gained that from somewhere else?' Though Hiruzen
He saw Naruto about to leave then he said: "Wait Naruto-kun!"
"What now old man? I have a busy schedule." Said Naruto
"… I can give you the info about your Uzumaki clan." Said Hiruzen
"… What?" Asked Naruto interested
"There's an Uzumaki clan Naruto-kun. I can give your heritage to you." Said Hiruzen
"… Have you ever consider giving it to me in the first place?" Asked Naruto rubbing his temple
"I'm sorry about that. But back then, you are too young to handle this kind of information, so I have no choice…" Said Hiruzen
"This… is why I don't want to be Hokage anymore. Being bound by some stupid rule. It makes me sick." Said Naruto irritate
Hiruzen could only look down at Naruto harsh word. Naruto seeing that sighed out as he said: "Show them to me."
"Eh?" Hiruzen looking up
"I said show them to me. Who knows if you are lying or not…" Said Naruto
Hiruzen then goes to the vault as he then brings out many books, scrolls, and a letter. He then said: "This is all that you want. Help me bring Tsunade back, and they are all yours."
"Fine… but after that…" Said Naruto
"I know, you will get the privilege once you brought her back. Meet Jiraiya at the gate Naruto-kun." Said Hiruzen
"Haiz… there goes my training schedule." Said Naruto scratching his head frustrated as he sinks into shadow and disappeared
(Gensokyou)
"Your mission is to look for some old granny?" Asked Reimu
"Yeah… it seems that she's supposed to be the Fifth Hokage." Said Naruto packing
"I'm surprised you didn't kick a fuss about this." Said Yukari
"I said it before didn't I? I no longer have any interest in Hokage at all." Said Naruto as he stands up
"True… want me to help find her?" Asked Yukari
"Not exactly. Since I don't even know how is she look like." Said Naruto
"Huh? Shouldn't the Academy cover that?" Asked Reimu
"Forgot? I never have a good education background at all." Said Naruto
"Right…" Said Reimu trail off taking a bite at the cracker
"Well then… have a nice trip." Said Reimu
"Bring some gift back~!" Said Yukari as Naruto smiled and leave
(Konoha Gate)
Naruto walks at the gate to see Jiraiya there. Naruto then said: "You must be the guy?"
"Ahem…" Jiraiya cough as he did hand signs and then a medium size toad was summoned.
"BEHOLD! MAN FEAR ME WHILE WOMAN SWONE ME! FOR I… AM THE TOAD SAGE JIRAIYA!" Shout out Jiraiya doing pose
"Great… can we get going?" Asked Naruto bored walking away
"Kid these days… no respect." Said Jiraiya as he follows him
After a walk later, Jiraiya then said: "So kid… you know how to use a storage seal already?"
"Huh? Oh yeah…" Said Naruto 'well… more like the inventory to be exact'
"Then how about I teach you something?" Asked Jiraiya grinning
"Huh?" Asked Naruto looks at Jiraiya confuse
Meanwhile, at the cliff above the road, Itachi and Kisame look at the below as Kisame said: "We finally managed to found him but only for him but to think his babysitter is one of the Sannin. And him of all the Three."
"Yeah… and Naruto newfound power making thing a lot harder too." Said Itachi looks at the Bingo Book
"So… what should we do?" Asked Kisame
"I have a plan. Follow me…" Said Itachi as he leaves
Back to Naruto and Jiraiya as they pass the town. As they found the inn to stay for the night, Jiraiya was snared in by some women as he leaving the key to Naruto.
In the end, Naruto could only sigh at the idiot pervert as he going to his room to search through the 'Shop'.
"As expected. There are many good items and weapons, but the price is ridiculous." Said Naruto
"this is why I told you this is a waste of time. You should have train instead." Said Kurama
"Yeah yeah…" Said Naruto as he heard knocking
"Huh? Did the woman ditched him already?" Asked Naruto as he looks at the door to find two different names
'Itachi Uchiha and Hoshigaki Kisame? Who is that?' Though Naruto
"Kid. Prepare your shadows. No, take out Igris and the Hokage only." Said Kurama
'Why?' Though Naruto
"Because the other Shadow would only get in the way. Do it." Said Kurama
Naruto then set Igris and the Hokage inside his Shadows as he opens the door and said: "Yes? Who are you?"
"Naruto Uzumaki. We would like you to come with us." Said Itachi
"Nope. Not interest." Said Naruto as he slamming the door
"… Did he just slammed the door on our face?" Asked Kisame
"Yes. That was… weird." Said Itachi confuse that why didn't Naruto afraid of them. But he then brings out the Bingo Book and said: "Must be because of this. Naruto-kun S-rank may not be exaggerating at all."
"Yeah. Then what should we do? If the brat is an S-rank like us then this may get messy and alert Jiraiya." Said Kisame
"Let's knock again. We don't want to waste our strength." Said Itachi as he knocks again
Naruto then opens out as he said: "You guy again? Look, I'm not interested in whatever you selling me so go away!"
"We are not the door salesman Naruto-kun." Said Itachi
"Okay? Then what with the clothes? Are you here to recruit me to some kind of creepy cult? If so, then I'll pass." Said Naruto slamming the door again
"Okay, Itachi-san. How about plan B?" Asked Kisame
"Pray I asked what is this 'Plan B' of your?" Asked Itachi massage his temple knowing the answer
"Simple… kick the door down and get the brat!" Said Kisame kicking the door slamming it to the wall
Naruto saw that and said: "Wow. You guy are quite a persistent recruiters huh?"
"That's it! I'll start with that mouth of your brat!" Said Kisame swung his sword down to Naruto only to be blocked by Igris holding his sword up.
"Hou? A swordsman huh? But too bad for you brat!" Said Kisame pressing Samehada down to absorb the Knight chakra but the knight didn't budge at all
"That's weird. Why can't Samehada absorb the chakra?" Asked Kisame
"You want to absorb? Then how about I tell him to let you have some?" Asked Naruto smirking as Igris aura start to creep at Samehada. The effect was instantaneous as Samehada shriek out as it recoils back
"What the? What did you do to my Samehada?!" Said Kisame looking at his sword
"How about worry about yourself?" Asked Naruto as Igris moves fast as he sending Kisame flying straight through the wall
"Kisame!" Said Itachi
"Itachi. Since you are an Uchiha, how about having a spar with your rivals clan?" The instant Naruto said that the Hokage emerge out of Naruto Shadows as Tobirama sending a water dragon to Itachi
Itachi then counters it with the same Water Dragon but he misses Hashirama as he sent flying through the wall as the Hokage chased after him.
Naruto just chuckled at that as he said: "That wasn't so hard."
"That's because you have Igris and the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage. I never thought those Shadows would be this strong." Said Kurama laughing
"How about having a little faith in me for a change?" Asked Naruto chuckling as he going to the fight
At the clearing, Itachi and Kisame are having a hard time fighting Naruto undead soldiers. Itachi and Kisame skid back as Kisame said: "Any idea Itachi?"
"I need you to buy me some time." Said Itachi as he looks at Naruto using Tsukuyomi
Naruto looks confused at that and then he suddenly appeared in a red black space.
"Genjutsu?" Asked Naruto
"Correct Naruto-kun. Your summons truly is powerful, but once I capture you, it's over." Said Itachi as Naruto was tied to a cross. Itachi expected to see despair look at Naruto face but only a smirking look
"I applaud for your courage to smile even now Naruto-kun. But in this place that I control, you will suffer torture for 72 hours." Said Itachi
"… While this… is a good Genjutsu. But you are encounter one error." Said Naruto
"And what is that?" Asked Itachi on guard
"Your opponent… is ME!" Said Naruto raising his head up using Mental Control
The Mental wave immediately shattered the Tsukuyomi world as Itachi was forced back to reality as he holding his eye screaming in pain and his head felt like it was cooked alive
"O-Oi Itachi. What's wrong?" Asked Kisame desperately holding on
"Naruto-kun… he broke the Tsukuyomi. My brain is like it was being cooked alive!" Said Itachi holding his eye and head in pain
"Tch! In that case… Suiton: Thousand Shark Jutsu" Said Kisame as he concentrates all of his chakras for a last-ditch effort.
While the Hokage and Igris shield themselves and blasting away the jutsu, Kisame grabbing Itachi and bolted as fast as possible. Naruto then races to them as Itachi saw that using the last of his strength to summon partially Suusano destroy the surrounding.
Naruto then using his Abyss Chain twirling it around destroying the debris as he looks for the two as he said: "Tch… they ran away."
"Forget about them brat. First, I think we need to explain the collateral damage that your fight made." Said Kurama
Naruto took a look around and said: "Hey it wasn't my fault."
"To you, yes. To the townsfolk, no." Said Kurama
"Goddamnit!" Said Naruto screaming out
Done. If anyone wonder, Naruto Mental Wave is like SAO Nervegear. So basically, Itachi brain is like it had just put in a microwave. After a long time, please PM or Review.
