The Paths they took.
Chapter 6:
The Path's We Take
Since Itachi and Kisame left Naruto didn't train until he was completely exhausted but he still make some workout in the morning. In the rest of the day, he was focused on learning how to infuse his chakra with wind release.
Itachi left him some notes on how to do it. His clones helped a lot to speed the process but even so, Naruto know he need to work as well if he wanted results.
Now being alone Naruto decided to give a look at what sealing jutsu were in this scroll and it did surprised him what he found.
Shiki Fūjin
(Dead Demon Consuming Seal)
Shiki Fūjin is a sealing technique developed by the Uzumaki clan to call upon the power of the Shinigami:
After the hand seals are performed, the user's soul is partly separated from their body and suspended behind them. Behind their soul appears the Shinigami, which restrains their soul with its hair. Only the summoner is able to see the Shinigami at this point.
After a few moments. The Shinigami wraps its left arm with prayer beads and chants unintelligibly until a cursed seal appears on its arm. It then drives its arm into the summoner's soul, thus allowing the summoner to call upon the Shinigami to seal a target: the Shinigami's arm emerges from the summoner's body and grasps the target's soul.
Targets are able to see the Shinigami so long as it's in contact with their soul. Souls can only be freed from the Shinigami's stomach by using Dead Demon Consuming Seal: Release (Shiki Fūjin: Kai)
To use, an individual wears the Shinigami Mask, causing them to become possessed by the Shinigami. If the individual wearing the mask and slices open their own stomach, the Shinigami will do the same, and any souls inside they want will be freed. However, the mask doesn't have any properties that will prevent its user from dying of that injury.
The masks were made by the Uzumaki Clan for Konohagakure, in order for people who don't have enough chakra to be able to use the sealing jutsu without needing to learn the hand seals.
Naruto was surprised that there was a jutsu from his clan in this scroll sadly, he couldn't use it. But thinking it did made sense why it was not something people should learn. Maybe this was one of the jutsu which made the other nations fear the Uzumaki Clan.
Naruto continued to lock at others sealing jutsu.
Shishō Fūin
(Four Symbols Seal)
This technique requires a great deal of talent to perform. The user applies the seal's formula to an object or a human's body, sealing a large enemy or an evil spirit within them. If two Four Symbols Seal are used, a stronger seal is created; this is called the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style. If the Four Symbols Seals do not completely overlap with each other, this allows the enemy/spirit's chakra to merge with whoever they've been sealed into.
The Four Symbols Seal is based on the fūinjutsu of Uzushiogakure's Uzumaki clan. The Four Symbols Seal is also left on the stomachs of those who perform the Shiki Fūjin.
'Wow this is… wow.' thought Naruto, this sealing jutsu sounded interesting but also… dark as well.
Naruto continued to read the next jutsu.
Hakke no Fūin Shiki
(Eight Trigrams Sealing Style)
A Four Symbols Seal is used to seal a large enemy or an evil spirit into a target, such as an object or a human's body. A stronger seal is created if two Four Symbols Seal are used, this is called the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style. If the Four Symbols Seals do not completely overlap with each other, this allows the enemy/spirit's chakra to merge with whoever they've been sealed into.
This seal is intended to encourage tailed beasts to aid the Jinchūriki they've been sealed within, as the more they provide chakra, the weaker the seal becomes, and thus the better their chance of freedom.
Naruto froze into place then quickly raised his shirt and after focusing some chakra, the seal appeared on his stomach. It was the same seal; he saw in the scroll.
"Jinchūriki… But this means…"
The Kyuuby... he had heard so many stories about him. He killed so many people, possibly even his own parents.
Naruto won't deny that he was annoyed that his idol 'The Yellow Flash' sealed a demon in him.
Why did it have to be him? Not that he would wish this on someone else but still… why him?
This was all Naruto had been wondering since he found out that night.
However, now after he found out what seal he had on his stomach it did make him wonder some things.
The Yondaime Hokage gave him this seal.
'Did he believe? I could control Kyuuby's chakra like it was written in this scroll.' Wondered Naruto.
Maybe he was already doing this; this was probably why he had so much chakra and could do so many clones. At least some things did started to connect together now.
Naruto decided to take a break for now. It was in did cool he learned more about his clan but the sealing jutsu they had were truly dark if he thought what could happened if they fall on the wrong hand.
Maybe he should try to find a way to return this scroll where it belong faster but for now maybe he could put one of his clones to copy more jutsu from the scroll into his book.
Training here was all-good but Naruto know that loneliness could mess him up really bad.
Maybe it was time to leave this place for a while.
He was still thinking how things would be, if he just returned in Konoha.
Maybe they could be better now that he understood more about himself and the place around him.
However, being outside here, surviving, and training it was… it somehow gave him more of a sense of purpose then he ever had in Konoha.
Evidenced by the fact that he become more calm more focus and he acted less rationally, less stubbornly and he applied himself in a way he felt it will make a difference. He will not deny that he missed to be just a kid and have fun. However, a sense of purpose on something so big was hard to ignore or let go.
He was still not sure he could find anyone to sell him wind jutsu scrolls in any city…
"The rain. It's going to rain." Naruto said to himself looking up at the clouds gathering outside the hideout.
He was not the type to like the raining but in the time, he traveled here with Itachi and Kisame they encountered nights when it was raining.
What surprised Naruto was when Itachi just walked outside the cave into the rain and just stood there.
Naruto couldn't help but wonder, why? Why was he doing that?
Did he like the raining? Or was this a way to punished himself? Or was he… crying in the rain?
Naruto did not know why but he felt a dark attraction to try this to.
Maybe it could help him understood better if he stood in the rain.
Amegakure
Rain was something common in this village but this rain was different from a normal one.
Pain turned to look out at the rain that fell on his village with an emotionless face, his purple eyes seeing through the haze left by the eternal rain.
Nagato sighed as he cancelled his rain jutsu. The jutsu was perfect in detecting spies within the village.
He was a very good sensor nonetheless. Even when one could stretch his or her senses over the entire village, it would take complete focus and some serious meditation. As far as his Intel told him, there were only two people who were better sensors than him. Well, he also had some ridiculous chakra control. For someone who had so much chakra as him, it was hard to believe that he could manipulate chakra like he does.
There were no spies within the village or some unwanted guests. He made sure to deal with any intruder in his village. He did not like it when someone infiltrated his home to gather some Intel. The village's security was of high level. And even if someone did sneak inside, he would not take much time to realize that someone was inside. This village was, heavily protected. It was the ideal place to keep secrets.
He looked at the streets of the village with an expressionless face; ever since he took over the village, it has been reigning peace. He had ensured that everyone in the village was safe and eliminated everyone he considered an enemy. There was no one who he even suspected to be any enemy. That is how he had managed to lead this village and hold on firmly as its leader. From the Third Shinobi World War, he had been the leader of the Amegakure.
He had eliminated Hanzo and everyone who were relatives to him. No matter what age they had.
Now he was known as Pain and to the villagers of Amegakure, Pain-sama.
He was proud of the fact that many have not seen his face. People have seen Konan's face, but he never exposed himself. His paths were the ones who always got to see the world.
And all of this was thank to him, Madara Uchiha was one who had taught him how to use the true power of the Rinnegan. And like him Madara had his own way of archiving peace, his own plan. But even with Madara's plan, Nagato chose his own way and philosophy to create true understand thought the human race. He and Madara believe that the world was in a never-ending cycle of hatred and deaths.
Nagato himself believe that the only way to archive true peace was through the experience of war, essentially by knowing pain. Once every village had fell destruction and loss, once every person had fell pain they would cease to fight each other thus creating peace.
Once everyone had felt the same pain, they will not want to experience it again. They will all understand what pain feels like. The lives that were going to be loss were for a greater good because in the end more people would end up surviving as a result of him ending all wars.
Instead of minimized the pain he will maximize it to the highest quality. That being survival.
And if even then they will not stop… then Madara's plan will make peace to be permanently.
Nagato of the Uzumaki clan will bring peace to this war torn world.
And make them all feel pain.
Naruto Uzumaki was like a bright sun-shiny day but now he was more like a dark, rainy day.
He was not sure if he liked the change but for now, it made him smile…
He wanted and needed to change for his own good and to make sure he survived in this shinobi world.
Maybe like Itachi he belong to the darkness of the shinobi world.
And maybe… this was his path now.
As he stood in rain, he started to feel like he was home because the rain was with him. It made him felt like home, like he was no longer alone.
Every strop made him fell alive the rain was with him.
Smiling hugely, arms outstretched laughing as the storm raged around him. It should have scared him but it excited him. No pain existed in this storm. No fear traveled along his spine and with each flash, no darkness threatened to eat him alive.
It was his choice to be in this storm and he was not alone because the storm was with him.
The intense lightning could made anyone scared that the world was coming to an end. However, he didn't fell scared because he was in the storm.
Maybe it was finally the time to go and visit the place, where his clan lived. But to get there he will have to go through the land of fire…
Maybe if he was lucky he will not encounter anyone. And if he did encounter enemy. He was going to fight them like a true Shinobi.
He know the road was going to be a long one and he was ready. He was felling confident enough and didn't fell like wanting to learn more jutsu from his scroll for the moment, he was more exited to visit the place where his ancestors lived.
In another place, an individual was also staying in the rain.
This isolated individual tried to find hope while traveling the world alone but every time he was, meet with more despair and darkness.
The pain of genetic curses, the pain of loneliness, the pain of hatred and the pain of hopelessness. He know experimented them all.
His clan sought strength and discarded anyone who could not give them strength.
A useless child a useless dunce who was the worst in his clan and the worst in his class was not worthy of being recognized.
He was an orphan, a child soldier and a black sheep in his clan because he was not 'really' talented.
The young boy who was starved for recognition could never receive it.
The world was seemingly against him from all sides.
And the lack of recognition was perpetuated even more by him. Being an Uchiha.
Even before the Kyuubi attack, his clan was not in good terms with Konoha.
In his 'death', he was not even recognized by his own clan who locked at him like a tool.
Well, there was one person who took notice of him and watched after him, and made him believe hope existed.
However, she chose to die, instead of finding another solution to her problem. Her death was due to how bloodshed the ninja world is.
After her death, his dream of becoming Hokage to keep the leaf village safe evolved into becoming the savior of the world to keep the entire planet safe. He wanted to prevent all the harm from even happening to anyone else.
He was tired of how messed up the ninja world was. All the ninja were fighting and killing each other in the wars their villages caused for resources and more power.
Because no one was doing anything to stop all of this, he chose to be the one to change the Shinobi system with his very own hand. As he told his old teammate, he was going to crush all those so-called real Shinobis.
When he confronted his sensei, he even removed his hood to display the hairstyle he had before he was crush by a rook but his sensei failed to recognize him, and because he failed to truly recognize him, his sensei claimed like the rest of the world, that he did not care who he was.
No one truly cared who he was until he put on a mask.
His sensei as well choose to die instead of finding another solution to a problem he had to face as Hokage. He could have stayed alive and faced him again but it seems that in the world they live in, suicide was the only way to escape this Hell along with the problems they had to face in it.
However, the Masked Man was not a coward like his sensei or anyone else. He had a plan, which will save everyone. The Eye of the Moon Plan.
He constantly doubted the plan throughout his travels and wanted to bail on it as he kept trying to find light in this world. Only to be let down each time…
The Masked Man saw how Nagato and his team were betrayed by Hanzo, and by the village Nagato once supported.
The Masked Man saw too much darker things in this world. That solidified that what he was doing was right.
To his surprise, The Eye of the Moon Plan gave him more of a sense of purpose then he ever had in Konoha.
Evidenced by the fact that he become more calm more focused and he acted less rationally, less stubbornly and he applied himself in a way he felt it will make a difference and he discovered he is in fact incredibly smart. A sense of purpose on something so big was hard to ignore or let go.
The Masked Man who was regarded as the weakest of his generation become the most powerful in the end. He was the living proof the losers could become winners. Not that it matters for him anymore.
This rain brought him memories of the past, of when a young Itachi asked him for help in slaughtering his clan. The day when he learned how weak were those Uchiha fools that spoke so proudly of their power.
As for Nagato, he even started to grown fond of him.
They have the same goal, even if their way of reaching is different, yet they were probably using each other, ready to backstab the other when the time came.
All in the name of peace.
At least that what the Masked Man was expecting to happened.
He still had doubts, which he surpassed the entire time. He sometimes wondered what if things had been different.
What would have happen if he had returned to the Konoha?
It was now too late to change anything and even if he wanted, he could not because of a seal implanted in his heart.
And as he grow mature enough to question the things he had been doing he come to the conclusion that it was too late now to abandon all of this.
The idealistic kid died years ago, buried in the ground, now a nameless Shinobi who saw the truth of the world will destroy this hell and save everyone from this world that wronged everyone.
Obito Uchiha will continue to suffer in this hell, as he sent everyone to heaven.
Naruto Uzumaki fell like every day was the same, he would wake up, eat, train and so on.
He was already in the land of fire and to his luck; he didn't encounter an enemy yet.
There was also something else in his mind, the conversation he had with Itachi alone had a more important effect on him the he thought and it made him question some of the things he had done in the past to a different level. And other's people point of view about him and how they saw him as well.
Thinking now about it he had never been outright abused, at least not in any traditionally understood sense of the word. He was cared for as an infant, bottle-fed and all that, and as a young child he had a roof over his head and food on the table, thanks to Hokage-jiji. However, he had always been alone. An outcast...
That was all it took to mess a kid up, and it was all that had happened to him and some shopkeepers who'd chased him away in the past, worried that his presence would scare away their customers. And the parents who told their kids to stay away from him, and some people muttered darkly when they saw him.
While that was certainly enough to make the civilians of Konoha fear a little for their safety, it was more due to the fact that many of them still associated him to some degree with the Kyuubi,
Probably from their perspective, it wasn't like they'd done anything wrong. Sure, parents warned their kids to stay away from him, and most others steered clear of him, but that was for their own safety.
Naruto know that sealing jutsu was a very hard discipline to understand. So as far as they probably knew, the only thing holding the Fox back was a bit of ink and chakra. This probably was too good to be true to the civilians who had seen the Fox shatter buildings with just its roar.
Not that this meant it was intelligent or the right thing of them to do, but fear and memories of loss rarely led people to make rational decisions.
So Naruto understood their reasoning but that still did not change anything… he can't return back and live a happy life there. At least not after, he stole this forbidden scroll.
Right now, he was again in a forest choosing to train again. 25 of his clones worked again on chakra control and he was making some body exercise. After that, he was going to continue his road but training to keep himself in form was also important.
As he finish he had a felling someone had been watching him for at least some time.
"Where are you? Come out!" said Naruto as his clones dispelled and now he was waiting to see if there was actually someone watching him.
His confirmation was true when he heard a laugh behind him in the forest.
The laugh was not the regular taunting laugh, but a genuinely amused laugh.
Naruto returned saw a silver haired man approaching him.
The silver haired man had been watching the boy he had come to take back. It had been not easy to track the young boy. It had been pure good luck when he had been passing this forest and saw him from distance.
Naruto was analyzing the man. This man had a hitai-ate wearing the kanji for 'Oil' on his forehead.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Naruto found himself asking this question. The man seems friendly but he did not wanted to risk.
The man smiled at Naruto and said, "I'm impressed Naruto, you sure are becoming a Shinobi."
"Uh… thank," said Naruto, surprise by the man complimenting him, "So… who are you? He asked.
"Heh, Thanks for asking. I'm known as the Toad Sage!" exclaimed the man, "I am Jiraiya."
"Ok… Jiraiya. What can I help you with?" asked Naruto.
"You see, I wasn't even sure that you were the ones I was looking for. It may be improbable, but not impossible that there may be another blonde kid with your name who could eat twenty bowls of ramen."
"What do you want from me?!" Naruto asked the man as he entered into a defensive stance. The man in front of him was giving dangerous vibes and only now, Naruto had figured out the man trick him into confirming his own name when he complimented him early.
"Ok then, let's get to business. Your Hokage send me to find you, there is also another Shinobi named Iruka who is locking for you..."
Naruto was in shock Iruka-sensei was locking for him… but why?
Why would he do this after all the problems he had created him in that night and all those years in academy and he did made graphite and a lot more pranks, which may have been a 'little' exaggerated sometimes…
Naruto know he was not the bad person. However, he come to the conclusion that maybe he was not the good guy either.
Naruto's thoughts were interrupted when Jiraiya continued, "Lock, I'm here to bring you back. The Hokage will make sure nothing bad will happened to you. You can still become a Shinobi if you still want, we can make things work if you come with me, home."
Naruto froze into place as he tried to find an answer.
"I… don't know. I prefer to be here, outside. Then there." He finally said.
"If you don't want to stay in the village I think we could find a solution. You know, there are missions where Shinobi have to leave Konoha for a while and I think you know how to use Henge no Jutsu, to change your appearance in public when we get back, right?" asked the Sanin.
If not for the Sanin, being there Naruto would have comically slapped himself for never thinking to use the jutsu that way.
Naruto felt tempered to accept. He will no longer have to worry about a roof where to sleep or food. And maybe he could get his hand on some wind jutsu scrolls…
The Sanin extended his hand to Naruto waiting for the boy to accept it.
Will Naruto take that hand?
Naruto was prepared to take it but something was not right… it was just too easy, this is wrong.
"No." Naruto heard himself saying without thinking.
It could not be that easy.
He had already come to the conclusion with the fact that there was no turning back from what he had done. Even if he did go, back and he know how to train and become a better Shinobi nothing else will change.
As Itachi said, 'What he desired right now was not what he needed.' At least not yet.
He had already run one time from the call of a journey of becoming Hokage. He was not going to run again from this new journey he thrown himself into. He belong to the darkness of the Shinobi world. Here he was free from all. This was his choice.
"No…?" asked Jiraiya.
"I'm sorry but I can't go back...," said Naruto.
"Kid, I'm sorry to hear this but for your own good you can't remain here, alone." Said Jiraiya knowing the boy was lucky until now. However, one day when he encountered a Shinobi from other nations, he will not be so lucky.
The boy could be captured and sold as a slave. Even worse was he may fall into Shinobi hands who might figure out what Naruto was, where they might either kill him, or brainwash him into becoming a mindless Jinchuuriki.
"Are you going to fight me?" Naruto asked in a calm voice. The man in front of him did not seems to be bad but anyone who forced him to go back was now an enemy.
"Kid, we both know how that will end."
"So? I'm a Shinobi to," Naruto said, putting his hand proudly on his chest," I will let this fight decide my fate."
"If that what you want and what will take to bring you back then fine."
Naruto jumped back in air and formed a distance between him and the man.
As his feet touched the ground he prepared to attack, "Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Yelled Naruto sending a few shuriken, which immediately turned into an army of them.
He caught the man off guard. Or so he thought.
"Hari Jizō." Jiraiya used chakra to harden his hair and shape it into spikes. His hair also grows long enough to wrap around him, serving as armour for the coming Shurikens.
Naruto was amazed at this but he didn't waste any time.
After Jiraiya's hair returned to normal he saw the kid was just finishing another hand seal.
"Kokuangyo no Jutsu!" said Naruto as the darkness covered the sky and Jiraiya found himself in eternal darkness.
'He knows this jutsu.' Jiraiya thought.
However, he did not have much time to think as he could fell more shurikens coming in his direction again. Again, he defended with his hair.
The shuriken jutsu Naruto was using against him did bring back memories of when he 'defeated' Tsunade and His sensei Hiruzen in his prime when he used his own shuriken jutsu that jutsu being called the 'Shuriken Whatever Jutsu'. Good times.
Jiraiya could hear steps around him made by many clones. They surrounded him.
Naruto had all his clones pull out a kunai from their pockets and got into fighting stances; and without wasting any more time, the clones lunged at the Sanin.
Their kunai didn't seems to do any damage to Jiraiya but then his hair released spikes which destroyed all the clones surrounding him.
Naruto saw the Sanin's hair returning to normal, again but this time he was going to try something different.
"Bunshin Daibakuha" whispered Naruto as he made eight clones and without an order, they went to attack the Sanin.
"Doton: Yomi Numa" Yelled Jiraiya as he finished some hand seals.
Naruto could feel something was happening with the ground and he jumped into a tree in the last second. Unlike him his clones were not as lucky as they were now stuck into mud as the the ground beneath them turned into mud.
The eight clones exploded destroying and throwing almost all the mud and Naruto saw the land created, where he can now land.
To Naruto surprise, Jiraiya covered in hair, was still in the same place. But why? Did he thought he had caught him in the mud and he was waiting for him to cancel his jutsu?
'Wait a minute?' thought Naruto, 'Is he wasting my time, knowing that at some point my chakra will be wasted on the Kokuangyo no Jutsu?'
He needed to go down and end this fight fast thought Naruto as he jumped down. Yet when he wanted to go for another attack, the man dispelled like a clone into smoke, and Naruto then felt a solid kick in his back and he was send flying in a tree.
"Not bad Naruto but you will need more." Jiraiya complimented the boy who was rising up to his feet.
"You're good old man, I'll give you that." Said Naruto as he prepared, he made and send four clones to attack the Sanin.
Jiraiya did hold himself back as he wanted to know what the kid could do. But now he need to get serious. Well not too serious as he did not wanted to kill the boy.
Naruto know he needed to act fast and so he made another set of eight clones who went after the Sanin. When they got close enough these clones were going to explode and hopefully defeat the Sanin without putting him in a hospital.
But it didn't seem that will happened very soon as the Sanin send an fire jutsu and destroyed them all 12.
Naruto changed his position as he prepared to take the Sanin off guard but somehow the Sanin was the one who took him off guard and he only realized this when he heard behind him, "That was also a clone." Said the Sanin as he send Naruto with a kick, flying into a tree.
And it hurt more than the first time for Naruto.
At least this seems to disable the jutsu, which had already took a lot of chakra from him. The darkness was gone and the Sanin was slowly coming to him.
"I's over Naruto, I won." Said Jiraiya as he taking out a Chakra-Suppressing Seal from his pocket.
The fight they had could attract unwanted Shinobi and Jiraiya needed to bring the boy to a safe place so they could talk.
"This isn't how it was supposed to end." Naruto tried to say but it sounded more as a he yelled whispering in a deeper voice.
He wanted to get up and continue but he simply didn't know what else he could.
He had already tried every jutsu he know and yet the man could counter them. Not only that but the Sanin, defeat him with only two clones and taijutsu.
'That is!' thought Naruto, he could probably spam the place with his clones and they could all of them run in different direction making him hard to be caught by the Sanin.
But then he will ignore his ninja word again. It will be like he had just abandoned a ninja mission… like a coward…
What was he going to do?
He was not a liar and he gave his world that he will let this fight decide his fate.
However, now…
Naruto learned that a shinobi's life it's measured by what they've manage to accomplish.
And… locking back his life has really been full of nothing but failure, unable to become Hokage, unable to become a true shinobi and unable to accomplish something.
Compared to the great and celebrated deeds of the all Hokage his actions were insignificants.
He was ready to give up this fight... and maybe run if he had the chance, but then he heard his own voice back in his mind remembering him of something, "So it's not like we're not going to meet again then?"
That right…
He said they would meet again one day. He needed to run and continue to live but what would Itachi and Kisame say or think of him if they know he just run away like a coward from a fight.
'What am I going to do?' wondered Naruto as he manage to rise up, and Sanin was 12 steps away.
"You must not fear, you must not panic, but focus on the task at hand. By realizing these truths, you will come to understand yourself and be ready to be a Shinobi. You must remember to stay calm and determined." Naruto heard Itachi's voice in his head.
He know what he had to do.
So he focused and thought to anything he didn't try until now, 'That is, there is still two things I didn't try yet.'
Now with the head in the game Naruto quickly made four clones. All of them including Naruto charged at the Sanin with Naruto behind them who was charging his right arm with chakra.
This fight was not over yet.
Jiraiya was about to take them down quickly and put the seal on Naruto but as the clones were charging at him at full speed they poofed into smoke.
As the smoke cleaned, Jiraiya saw four beautiful naked women!… who had their private parts covered by heavier amounts of smoke.
'Is this the Child of the Prophecy?' Was all Jiraiya could think before they poofed in smoke and his eyes were meet with the original Naruto who was sending a punch full charged with chakra into his stomach.
"This is my Hāremu no Jutsu!" yelled Naruto, not even the Hokage-jiji stood a chance against this jutsu.
Jiraiya flew back from the force of a massive punch until he was slammed into a tree with backbreaking force, before falling unconscious the Sanin gave Naruto two thumbs up, grinning and said, "I LIKE YOU, KID!"
The Sanin then fell unconscious with a nosebleed, more from being a pervert the then the actual hit he got in his stomach.
Naruto sighed, disappointed. This guy fell so easily for his jutsu. However, he was not going to complain.
He was happy, he had won, he had actually won this meant he was free to leave.
And he should do it before the Sanin woke up.
Naruto know he might not have as much luck as he did, if he was to fight this Jiraiya again.
As he was running, Naruto imagined himself taking down Kisame with this jutsu next time they meet.
That would be something he will have to try when they meet again.
But for now.
'Land of Waves here I come.' Thought Naruto happily.
Author Notes (warning: potential spoilers)
The idea of Naruto winning the fight with his own justu was stuck in my mind the entire time I wrote the metting with Jiraiya.
I am not very good at writing fights scenes. I hope it was not that bad.
Did I made anyone actually believe Naruto was going to go back in Konoha in this chapter? :)
Didn't really know what to write in this chapter so I thought to add something about Nagato and Obito, because it was mentioned he traveled the Shinobi world to...
I hope I wrote all the characters in the character in this chapter.
Also when I wrote the part with Obito I did take into account that his grandmother didn't exist in the manga. Being an orphan, losing his parents even before he possibly could remember them, was part of Obito's tragedy and one of the binding point between him and Naruto.
As for those who are wondering the part where I mentioned that:
'His clan sought strength and discarded anyone who could not give them strength.'
'In his 'death', he was not even recognized by his own clan who locked at him like a tool.'
These were better explained in the Itachi Novel.
I'm not sure what I will write in the next chapter when I have time but the ideas are welcomed.
