Chapter 6: Summons
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, while waiting for Kakashi in the bridge, Naruto and Sasuke decides to spar inside the forest while Sakura watches
"Remember. Ninijutsu and Taijutsu only! No Rinnengan or Kyuubi. Only what we have, Sharingan, Jutsus, whatever!" Naruto said to Sasuke, who was already preparing seals before saying
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"
Naruto notices the fireball and manages to avoid the fireball, save for a few hairs at his head
"Let's not use jutsus that're weak, you know?" Naruto grinning as he said it
Sasuke just smirked. "I guess we shouldn't."
"Tajū Kage Bunshiin no Jutsu!" All at once, 1000 Narutos surrounds Sasuke. Sakura watches with complete awe, even though she already saw how much Naruto and Sasuke loves sparring with each other if given the time.
Sasuke closes his eyes and then opens it, activating his Sharingan and Rinnengan. "You know, I've been practicing a new way to use my Susanoo in a more... different way"
"Well, you're still gonna lose!" Naruto grins as his clones and himself charges Sasuke while forming a familiar ball in their hands
"Here's something for you! Rasengan Tsunami!"
All at once, Naruto and his clones jumps and form a wave of clones, hitting Sasuke with their respective Rasengans relentlesly, opting not to have Sasuke breathing room. Naruto clones poof out as they hit their targets, smoke fills the forest
As the smoke clears, Sasuke still standing, has purple-like armor covering himself, complete with a helmet and a purple sword.
Naruto whistles at what he sees "Is that what I think it is?"
"I've been working on it in my travels" He said to Naruto, pausing for a while admiring what he had done" I just finished it now actually. I was surprised I've done it" Sasuke said as he looked at himself looking over for anything that looked wrong
"Well, let's see if that can stop thi-" Naruto said before noticing Kakashi enter the area.
"Now now boys, you should stop now or you'll probably ending up destroying the village more times than possible" Kakashi said with half-humor and half-truth, knowing the true power of each of his former students, he really though it would be possible. In times, he was happy that Naruto and Sasuke was at their sides.
"Well that's because I'm awesome!" Naruto said with a wide grin. Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura sweatdrops at the child man-child
"Are you really our future hokage?" Sakura said to Naruto, receiving an 'oi!' from him. Sasuke, now back to normal coughs to get their attention "Well, we're all here finally" Sasuke said, while glaring at the Silver Haired Jonin and future Rokudaime Hokage. Kakashi just smile sheepishly behind his mask, then noticed the three
"I noticed you all changed your looks huh?" Kakashi said to three children in front of him.
Sakura was now sporting a haircut that was just above her shoulder, and she opted for a red shirt and shorts. To top it all off, she wore black gloves. "Well, this was my outfit when I was chunin" Sakura answered
Sasuke is now wearing the black outfit he wore for the Chunin exams , but wore a katana besides him which was hold up by a black belt. The katana had an Uchiha crest.
Naruto was the most new of the group, opted to change his neon orange jacket for a black jacket with the Uzumaki symbol just at his collar. He changed the color of his blue hitae-ate for black and decide to wear a belt that had pouches. 'Looks like his outfit before he became hokage...'
"Well, Kakashi-sensei, It's not bad to change the past here and there"Naruto said grinning.
"That is true, Naruto" Kakashi said to his student. "Now, let's start" looking at Sakura.
Sakura started "Well, I tried all possibility if this was a genjutsu yesterday... Please tell me you all atleast checked?" Sakura said to the three men in front of him. Naruto just smiled sheepishly, Sasuke avoided looking at her and Kakashi was rubbing behind his head and was suddenly interested at his feet
'Are you three all really Kage-level?' Sakura facepalmed and sighed before she shaked her head and returned back to the topic "Well, like I said, I checked for any signs of genjutsu. But I guess it's true, we're back in the future"
"That is rather worrying." Kakashi said while rubbing his temple . " I know we talked about plans what to do yesterday but I still can't wrap my head around it"
"Because this is the first time I think that anyone has to deal with this" said Sasuke
"I think we should tell Jiji"
"But he won't believe us. Logically, who would believe you? A prankster, plus a couple of genin. It's screaming 'This is a joke!'" said Sasuke. Naruto admitting there was a point there.
"Well, He would be suspicious already probably at this point in time. We don't call him "The Professor" for nothing. Though the title of "Kami of Shinobi" may be better suited to the two of you" said Kakashi
"It'll be good having backing behind us, plus we can tell him through Sasuke's Sharingan" said Sakura
"The Uchiha brat is right"
"What do you mean?"
"Imagine being cursed with knowledge of the future. And being as old as him?"
Naruto sweatdrops at the logic of the bijuu.
Suddenly an ANBU appears from a swirl of leaves
"Team 7, the Hokage is requesting your presence"
Kakashi stiffened when he heard this 'It has begun'
"Tell Hokage-sama We'll be there" Kakashi said to the ANBU. The ANBU nods and leaves in a swirl of leaves. Kakashi face his students.
"This is a problem that didn't happen last time" said Kakashi which got looks from of confusion from Naruto. Sakura had a grim look on her face while Sasuke was maintaining a deadpan face
"What do you mean Kakashi-sensei?"
"What he meant Naruto, is that we already have changed something, and it's probably something big since the Hokage is calling us" said Sakura
"Oh..."
Hiruzen was looking at a piece of paper he received yesterday night.
'I'm getting to old for this' Hiruzen thought in his head. He sighed and put away the paper when he notices a familiar chakra in his window
"Why can't you just be a normal person and use the door Jiraiya?" Hiruzen sighed once more and looked at his student enough to see his eyes.
It was only for a second but it conveyed a lot. Sadness, determination. Something he hadn't saw since Tsunade's slip on depression. A second, but he saw.
"Well that's because I'm your awesome student, sensei" Jiraiya said changing to a happier note, grinning
Hiruzen sighed and chuckled. Jiraiya may be an adult and seal master but that attitude won't never change. He gestured Jiraiya to seat, while he took the paper again.
"Anyways, why did you call me here? I was just in Suna doing some research" Jiraiya said while taking a seat.
"I just received a report that a chakra signature appeared on training ground 7." Hiruzen said while giving the paper, now revealed as a report, to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya looked over the report and raised a brow "Life giving? I only know some sources of chakras that have this attribute"
Hiruzen nodded grimly and sighed "The only thing I concluded that it must have been Nature energy. I only know two people who can access Nature energy, You and... Orochimaru"
Jiraiya just looked over the report and something clicked on his head. He chuckled 'Well I guess it's time'. He gave the paper back to Hiruzen and looked at him " I may know who did this. Maybe not. But it ain't Orochimaru. His chakra too vile to give off that 'life giving' crap"
"Well, we'll probably know who, by a simple question. The new Team 7 was training there and there might be a possibility they know. Or Kakashi knows" Hiruzen said to Jiraiya while lighting his pipe.
"Kakashi is their sensei? And the brat? What a weird twist of fate. Or maybe not, considering who is sitting in the Hokage seat, sensei" Jiraiya said with a smirk
"Ho... Excited to see your godson then, Jiraiya?" Hiruzen said while smoking his pipe
"I may be. Maybe not. Though I have a feeling he might be excited to see me too. And I'll look at his seal" Jiraiya said exactly as there was a knock at the door
"Hokage-sama, Team 7 reporting for your summons" Kakashi said behind the door. "Atleast he was 1 hour early than before. Come in" Hiruzen replied and they entered
Jiraiya looked at the people who entered the office. 'Kakashi is still the same huh?' Jiraiya thought when he saw the Silver haired Jonin and then he looked at the three genin behind him. One was a pink haired girl, wearing a red shirt, shorts, and gloves. The second was a black haired boy wearing an all black outfit. He also noticed the sword besides the boy. Then his eyes shifted to his godson. He wore a black jacket, a belt with pouches and orange pants, which surprised Jiraiya.
"Yo, Jiji! Look at our outfits!"Said Naruto with a tinge of hidden sadness. Jiraiya noticed it. Hiruzen however noticed the outfit change and nodded approvingly. He looked at Kakashi. "Kakashi, I requested for your team today because I received a report yesterday." He gave the report to Kakashi
Kakashi read the report then gave the paper back, "Team 7 nor I have noticed anything of the sort, Hokage-sama. Probably we were too busy doing the test to notice it."
Hiruzen noticed some holes immediately. A jonin of Kakashi's caliber not noticing that kind of chakra signature? He was obviously lying. But he let it slide. He'll ask later. 'Now for the bigger problem'
"Alright, Kakashi... You're also here so I can inform you that someone will be inspecting the Training ground 7. He's also gonna watch you and your team train"
Kakashi raised his brow "Who is it?"
Jiraiya then stood up and looked at the team behind him "It is I, the gread Toad sage and one of the three legendary sannin, Jirai-"
"Ero-sennin?!" Jiraiya almost rushed to the boy and bonked him in the head. Why did he had to use that name?!
"Brat! You dare mock me!?" Jiraiya replied
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but where have you seen each other?" Hiruzen interrupted confused at the two's meeting. He could have also swore he saw the pink haired kunoichi whisper Naruto ferociously while Naruto just stood sweating bullets.
Jiraiya also stood glaring at the boy "I haven't seen this boy in my life. Is this what this generation is all about. Disrespect?"
"Eh, I heard stories about you from the jounins and Kakashi and he said that you were also a pervert like him" said Naruto which earned him glares from both Kakashi and Jiraiya. Hiruzen just blinked and laughed saying that the nickname suited him
"Hmph, anyways Kakashi, see you tomorrow. I have some research to go to. Ja ne!" Jiraiya said jumping out to the window.
"Well, that was...Interesting. Anyways, that is all Team 7. You are dismissed" said Hiruzen
Naruto would have just ran up to him when he saw the toad sage.
His master, one of the biggest father figure of his life and one of the most important people in his life. But he held his ground. Just like with Sarutobi, he knew what and who he would see.
But that didn't stop him from running to him after the meeting.
After the meeting, he ran as fast as he could that he was like an orange flash. Naruto ran to the nearest hotsprings. He knew who he would run up to.
He looked behind the hotspring where thought he would see a man when suddenly "So I heard you became Hokage, brat" A man smirked. Naruto leaped in surprise and instinctively brought a kunai to protcect himself. He looked who surprised him and his eyes widened
Jiraiya stood leaning at the wall, smirking like he caught someone in front of his traps.
But his eyes told something different
"Ero-sennin?" Naruto asked to make sure. Then he ran to the sage, which opened and widened his arms, expecting a hug
But... he got punched at the stomach. A golden punch
"That's what you get for dying on your student, Ero-sennin!" Naruto said as he looked at the old man rolling at the road in pain.
"W-Well, Atleast I died a heroes death! Before you pulled off this... stunt!" Jiraiya said while he struggled to stand up.
"How did you know?"
"Huh?" Jiraiya said while still trying to relieve his pain from his gut.
"How. Did. You. Know?"
"Well..." said Jiraiya, rubbing his neck "The summoning contract"
"Wait, I'm still in there? I thought I would have to wait a couple more months?!"
And that was the truth. Naruto thought he would have to wait for a couple of months for the chuunin exams to sign the contract and start using Sage mode and Summoning again.
"The Summoning contract is connected to the summoner in more ways than one." Jiraiya explained "Once your name appeared, every toad in the mountain remembered you"
"But that doesn't explain how YOU know"
"Well, the same way the toads learned how. Through the summoning contract. Though it took a reverse summon, taking in Nature energy plus getting hit with Pa's stick again" Jiraiya said to his student. Then Naruto did something, he hugged Jiraiya
"You pervert old fool. You don't know how much I actually missed you!"
Jiraiya blinked then smiled, returning the hug "I know kid. I know"
After the hug, Jiraiya and Naruto were chased out by the girls in the hotsprings after hearing them. Just because they knew of Jiraiya's research.
Now they were sitting in a river where they first met and talking about the future and... everything
"Hmm, that is interesting..." Jiraiya said, a reply to what he heard.
Jiraiya's was surprised, proud and happy with his student. A perfect Sage Mode? A Rasengan with an element? Complete control of a bijūs chakra while purifying it? Being visited by the Rekūdo sennin himself, then essentially being the half of a Rekūdo sennin? Being Hokage? He was bursting with pride.
Then he became sad, and angry with the bad stuff. A fourth shinobi war that rivalled the last three were coming. The destruction of Konoha as he knew it. Twice.
"Well, atleast I have two students as Hokage now! And one of them became stronger than the other! I am a great teacher afterall!" Jiraiya grinned bursting with pride once more. Naruto just facepalmed
"Now we're here. Trying to change little things at a time so we could be prepared for the eventual invasion. Or stop it. Who knows?"
"But you said that the fox said that the Rekūdo sennin was the one who made your little stunt possible?"
"That's it Ero-sennin. I don't know why. The Rekūdo sennin always had plans, Kurama said. But in the life of me, I don't know what's the end goal."
"Well, who knows? You'll learn eventually. He'll pop out sooner or later. But for now, let's talk about your plans. "
"Well, We don't really have a real plan at the moment" Naruto said while smiling sheepishly
Jiraiya stared at his student " Are you really a Hokage?" said Jiraiya which earned an 'Oi!' from Naruto
"Anyways I feel like there's also another reason why you're looking for me?" Jiraiya asked the blonde
"Ah!" Naruto stood up and nodded " I need the key for the seal!"
Jiraiya frowned " Well... I'm not doubting your abilty to control the kyuubi's chakra, brat. But doing this so early?"
Naruto just grinned "Well, you can check out my Six Path Sage mode after you give the key!"
Jiraiya, burning with curiousity, finally relented and did a couple of seals before opening his mouth and a toad went out. Naruto recognized the toad
"Gerotora! Nice to see you again!" He said to the toad
"Oh, it's you Naruto. Guess you need the key?"
"Yeah. Just like last time."
"Are you sure you're gonna do this now? People gonna notice you and the kyūbi's chakra if you open the seal"
"I'll take the risk. You'll know what happens..."
Gerotora nodded grimly, then expanded a few feet in height, exposing the scroll abdomen. The scroll opened revealing intricate seals and drawings. A few notes of how to change the seal were also there. In the bottom, a bare box.
Naruto, knowing what to do, bit his thumb and making sure his blood got on his fingers, pressed them in the box. Gerotora, satisified with the result, proceeded to close the scroll and close his scroll abdomen, then looked at the blond boy expectantly.
"You know what happens next kid"
Beside him Jiraiya didn't stop himself from laughing . Oh karma...
Naruto looked defeated. He opened his mouth wide. Gerotora proceeded to enter his mouth with unexpected difficulty, but in the end he managed to get in, leaving a tear filled Naruto
Naruto closed his mouth and shivered "Ugh. The taste is always the worst"
Jiraiya, looking amused and curiousity burning within him, looked at his student "Now, show me"
"Give me a minute. I'll need to change the seal" said Naruto as he closed his eyes
Naruto opened his eyes and looked at the fox behind the gates. Besides Naruto, stood Gerotora.
"Nice to see you again,toad. Hope your here to release me out of this distasteful seal of mine?"
"Though we are not close fox, I have gained enough respect to for what you have done for Naruto. Does not mean I am still wary of you."
"Tsk, meddlesome toad"
"Quit down you two. I'm gonna open it" said Naruto as he was going through a series of seal
"It was good of you to actually read the scroll for the key when you had became older, Naruto" Gerotora said, his arms crossed, nodding his head with approval
"Lucky I did to actually remember it. Dad's old seal was only guaranteed to ONLY keep Kurama inside and let him and his chakra absorb in my system until I reached 18." said Naruto sweating with concentration
"The seal I did when I was training with Octopops guaranteed the perfect unity between me and Kurama. But since that seal is now gone, I need to change it and then release it." Naruto added
Naruto finished his seals, before the room shooked, the old bars changed into a more modern look. It was now color red, but still had the paper for Seal in the center.
"Now for the last step!" Said Naruto as he flew to the seal and tore it open, then landing at the ground.
Naruto, now feeling the power, opened the gates, which the fox behind it was now grinning
"It always feel too good to be out of that cursed seal"
"Believe me, Kurama. It does"
Naruto blinked and opened his eyes, golden chakra enveloping him. His appearance has changed, now his jacket becoming gold and unzipped , revealing 6 tomoes just at the bottom of his neck, and where his seal was supposed to be, a golden circle was there. Nine Black balls floated behind him, which actually surprised Naruto
"Oh! These came back!"
"Life chakra,... and an improved rinnengan ability combined with perfect sage mode? The brat wasn't joking" Jiraiya muttered, really impressed "Luckily, I managed to set up a good chakra barrier or else it'll be detected very easily"
"So, what you think?" Naruto said gleaming and grinning
"Not bad! But you should better be careful about your chakra. Sensors can spot that a mile away. And you're just so...short"
"Oi! Hmph, well, my chakra control sucks again outside this mode." Naruto explained "It's been hard trying to get used to my body. So I've been training chakra control with 1000 clones yesterday so I can atleast have control, within some degree"
Jiraiya nodded "Nice plan. Though... another training trip might be good for you..." he suggested, remembering the training trip they did, then his face darkened
"What is it, Ero-sennin?" Naruto asked, worried about the sudden change
"My...My..." said Jiraiya with an angry tone
"Your what?"
"My books! I have to write it again!" Jiraiya said with tears in his eyes .Naruto just sweatdropped
"Oh it's you! Did you bring me a story about the toilets outside?"
"Shush White Zetsu , I need to speak to him"
"Geesh, always the serious one" said White Zetsu
"Is the plan in motion?" A figure in the dark said
"We had problems with some of them. But now, we did it. The plan is in motion" said another figure
The figure, now revealed as Madara, nodded
"Tobi, you know what needs to happen. Remember the plan" said Madara.
Tobi nodded, and a vortex appeared, appearing to pull Tobi in and dissapeared.
"Well, wasn't he cheerful huh, Madara?" Asked White Zetsy
"If all goes through, this world shall truly know peace" he said as laughs fills the cave
—
Two women were walking down the streets of a civilian city until suddenly, one of the women stops.
"Shizune."
"Tsunade-sama, what's happening?" Said Shizune, worried about her master
"We need to go back to Konahagakure"
Shizune took a step back in surprise"Wait, what? Why?" Asked Shizune "I mean, I'm happy that Tsunade-sama wants to go home but why suddenly now?"
Tsunade full of thought and worry said "Let's just say, I just had a bad feeling"
Shizune in understanding, ran to the hotel to pack their bags
—
Orochimaru was planning for the invasion. The invasion. The invasion of Konohagakure. Now all he needs is to get Suna...
Then suddenly he stumbles down, suddenly out of breath and his heart beating fast. A big flash of memories runs through his head. Orochimaru paled and his eyes widen.
"No...no!" Said Orochimaru, as he struggled to stand up. He did a couple of signs and muttered "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
A little snake appeared "What do you ask of me, Orochimaru-Sama?"
"Kabuto! Get me Kabuto!" Hissed Orochimaru to the snake. The snake nodded and slithered to the doorway.
Orochimaru ran up to the neareast table and started a new plan
"I must start changing little at a time...The future must change"
If his memories was right, he can offer to let his pride go. To let immortality go. If the future was right...
There'll be nothing left to live through anyways
A/N: Thus, the start of a major arc starts. It'll go through the Zabuza encounter and goes until the Chuunin for no line breaks, I'm just starting to use the Fanfiction App and I'm just getting used to it. Anyways, hope you enjoyed as much I did doing it. Ja ne!
