Alright, on to the next. This was an aparently popular one early on despite all it's grammar issues.
So once again, pat re on slash supreme bandit minus the spaces and with a dot com in there for those who wish to support me and get early access, as well as a voice in my works.
I will be resorting to that site for what to work on next and even whether to post an idea or not.
I am hitting some hard times over here and need a job.
I hope you enjoy...
====Three years after Kyuubi attack, two weeks after Naruto left orphanage====
Naruto was walking around the village alone. He had grown tired of the excuses the Old lady was giving him when she mistreated him.
You would think he murdered someone with the way she treated him.
Now, Naruto was miserable, alone and feeling like crap. The other day he was hit with a broom for getting too close to someone's lawn, before the old hag that did it walked a block back home.
Naruto was growing more and more angry and trapped.
Naruto was now sitting down in an alleyway, waiting for the next person to come and hurt him. He was ready to give up, he just wanted to be left alone but no one ever did. So when a couple grown men walked into the alley he was in, Naruto glared at them, and kept glaring at them even as they mocked him.
That's when he heard something in the back of his head, although it seemed dark and suspicious, he listened.
'I have a way out.'
Naruto doubted it, but he would listen anyway.
'I have friends that could help you.'
Now Naruto was curious, what friends would a voice in the back of his head have? But as the men became annoyed with being ignored, and pulled out knives to deal with him, he just shrugged and accepted the help.
'And now, my friends, are your friends from the other side.'
And just like that, Naruto's shadow shuddered before standing up, which confused the men considering the boy didn't. As the shadow stood, it just appeared to smile somehow.
From the ground appeared an orb. Naruto grabbed it and pulled a cane out of the ground, the cane went to about his waist which was really short. Everything took a weird turn as something stranger happened. The bricks on the wall started to look like weird faces, and they sang...
"Are you ready?"
The man front and center, a scrawny brunette fellow, was the one who replied.
"Ready for what?"
"Are you ready?"
And with that, the bricks behind Naruto formed into a giant face, as several shadows came from it's mouth.
All three the men tried to run, though before they could get away, they fell to the ground and when looking back at the scene, you could see that they were being dragged to the giant head by their shadows before they were sucked in, all the while screaming at the top of their lungs in fear.
What chunin, jounin, anbu, and the Hokage all saw when they arrived, was a wall with three faces on it with three names written right bellow them, almost like a grave. Then they saw a little boy sitting off to the side, holding a black cane that was stomach high on him and sleeping, Hiruzen Sarutobi picked Naruto up, and took him to his office, where Naruto slept the night away.
=-=-=next morning=-=-=
Naruto woke up to yelling.
"That staff obviously belonged to one of our husbands."
What a fun way to wake up in the morning.
"I shall have him inform me of how he got it when he awakens then, and if he did steal it I shall hand it over to you."
"You do realize he will just lie about it right?"
Two women stood arguing against the Hokage, trying to sound important.
"And you don't think I can tell when I'm being lied to?"
The boasting gray haired old man could do with being less obnoxious when he spoke.
"I got it from my friends."
Naruto's answer caught Hiruzen off guard, and concerned him, while confusing the white haired idiot, and annoying the two grieving widows.
"Weren't there three guys my friends ate?"
That got the attention from both old men, the Hokage taking charge.
"What friends are you talking about Naruto-kun?"
Naruto just pouted at the old man.
"You always tell me not to answer you with a question and than do it to me? How mean ji-ji."
The old Hokage raised an eyebrow, before he practiced what he preached.
"The reason there are only two wives here, is because the third man that was there had no wife."
After nodding, Naruto seemed to take the situation seriously.
"Well, I mean my friends on the other side, when the three men came at me with the intent to kill, my friends came and stopped the bad men from coming to hurt me"
"May we meet these friends of yours?"
After shaking his head Hiruzen asked another question.
"Why not?"
"I can hear them whispering to me, I can tell you bits and pieces, but it's not very easy to hear everything. They keep telling me I need my staff."
As Hiruzen handed the staff over, Naruto appeared to be focusing for a little bit before he replied.
"From what I can understand, they cannot enter our world and need someone to act on their behalf. In exchange for access to their power, I give them souls."
The gray haired man looked a bit interested as he decided he stood aside long enough.
"Listen boy..."
Which was silenced when Naruto's shadow looked like he was playing with a yo-yo, when Naruto wasn't, causing him to blank.
Naruto turned to him and stared blankly.
"Who are you anyway?"
No answer...
"Hey! I'm talking here!"
That got the younger geezer's attention.
"I am the great and mighty, Gallant Jariya! The desire of all women, the envy of all men, and I am also the author of the best novel in the world, Icha Icha Paradise!"
The women both went from wanting the boy dead to wanting the oaf dead... tells you how much said idiot is hated by women...
"So you are the idiot who wrote the damn books my husband read instead of sleeping with me?"
Both male adults blanked.
Jariya was looking at the two widows with caution, so intently actually, he never felt it when his pocket was opened and a book was lifted out of it by a little shadow. The owner of said shadow couldn't read just yet, so he stuck with looking at the pictures.
Which will not be described here.
"How is this entertaining?"
All four adults looked at the boy.
"A bunch of girls without clothes, what is so entertaining about that?"
Jariya became aghast, before he chose to educate the young boy.
"They are not girls you fool, they are hot gorgeous women!"
More glares from the widows.
Hiruzen on the other hand didn't think Naruto should be getting into that stuff just yet, so he walked over to Naruto, who just ignored the man and placed the book in his pocket.
"That book isn't for little boys Naruto."
Naruto shrugged as he handed the book back.
After calming the two women down, which was easier than it should have been, apparently they were deadbeats.
The Hokage, Jariya, and Naruto were all in the office, Naruto held his arm out and summoned a deck of cards to look at, they seemed to be tarot cards.
Jiraiya was the first to break the silence.
"Where the cards come from?"
"My friends on the other side say they never lie, they say I can do with them as I please."
Hiruzen and Jariya were skeptical.
"If they do not lie, then why not see if you can tell if Jariya lies or not?"
Jariya stepped up to him.
"Well, state a fact."
"Not all my books are perverted"
Naruto quickly shuffled the deck, and when Naruto drew the top card, the card was a royal crown.
"So what book did you write that wasn't perverted?"
"It was called Tales of the Gutsy Ninja."
Hiruzen decided to state what he found out.
"So, as long as you shuffle and draw the card, it will tell you when someone is lying?"
Naruto nodded.
"That is great for interrogators, what else can you do with them?"
"I can read your future."
Jaiya got a perverted grin.
"What about love fortunes?"
"I could."
Hiruzen saw where this was going.
"No Jariya, you can't take Naruto out of the village."
"When did I say I wanted to?"
"When I realized you wanted to use his new powers to con young women who want to know where to find true love, into posing for your books."
"But what about my research? It would be ten times easier than it is now if I had this kid helping me."
"I don't want to leave anyways, I'm gonna stay here to become a ninja, and prove I can make it in the real world. I hate to be used and I hate to be told what to do, so I refuse to be used by you."
"Then I shall pay you for your services."
Both Naruto and Hiruzen asked the same question at the same time.
"How?"
"By training you young lad, and then I shall bring you back in time for the graduations at the academy. That way, you can still become a ninja and under my training, you shall become one of the best. You shall also be able to learn to use your powers to the fullest under my guidance. Now, go pack your things, we leave tomorrow."
With a nod, Naruto walked out the door, and walked down the streets, back to the alleyway he was found in, to get his little bag of stuff he had, too bad on the way there, he ran into a little commotion...
=-=-=meanwhile=-=-=
A Kumo-nin was sneaking out of a clan compound, having just completed a secret mission given by the council in his own village.
What mission you ask? To kidnap a little girl from the main branch of the Hyuga clan.
The man ran for the wall.
The man jumped over the wall.
The man spotted a small boy with a strange walking stick.
Pop quiz: What is the natural action a person would take, when a man is jumping down on you when you have a staff in your hands?
Naruto, having heard the surprised gasp from the man that jumped over the wall, slammed the end of his staff into the ground, which extended straight upwards.
The man had all of one second to notice the staff was shooting up towards him as he descended.
As the man was descending, Naruto panicked and extended his staff to the full length, and due to luck, or bad luck depending on your position, Naruto's staff wound up striking the man right in his 'line of succession' if you know what I mean.
And when a man is hit in the groin, his first reaction is to grab himself, dropping whatever or in this case whoever, they were holding. Following this line of thought, the cargo of the unknown assailant was falling on the little boy and landed with a thud, knocking said little boy down, and gravity was not so kind to the man on the stick, seeing as how the staff leaned towards the wall, pinning the man there.
=-=-=meanwhile once again=-=-=
Hiashi Hyuuga was pissed off, as he jumped out of the gateway, only to stop and look carefully at a very strange scene...
Leaning against the wall was a staff of about 10 feet, give or take a few inches. The man he was chasing was pinned to the wall with said staff, due to the staff being partly in the ground. But what truly was gruesome, was the fact that there was blood, dripping from the man, down the wall, obviously from a crushed pelvis.
On the ground he found his daughter and the young jinchurikki. Hiashi was a smart man, he could tell what happened from a quick glance around, so he relaxed slightly. Before widening his eyes and bolting forward.
Reason for said dash was because the man on the wall had managed to collect himself before prying his way off, and in his pain and rage, descended upon the two children.
Naruto, noticing the position he was in, hugged the girl to him as the shadows acted on their own to save him, and by extension, the girl in his arms.
As the man descended, he was caught off guard by the sudden lack of a target, before he was suddenly ripped away from the world by a jyuken strike to the chest.
Hinata looked at what her father did, and then Naruto spoke
"It was just not his night it seems."
Hiashi turned to the boy that just traveled by shadows.
"How did you do that?"
"I have friends on the other side."
Hiashi glared, what friends? He figured he would include this in his report to the Hokage.
"Come Hinata, we shall deal with all this and return to bed. You should expect to get a call from the Hokage in the morning boy, he will need your statement."
Hinata nodded, and she turned to Naruto
"Thank you for saving me."
And with that, Hinata gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and ran to her father, blushing like mad.
"Do not get into that habit Hinata, you should focus on becoming stronger, unless you want to give every single boy that saves you a kiss for the rest of your life."
Hinata blushed crimson, and had thoughts of the blonde boy saving her again and again, each time she gave him another kiss. Then it developed into a kiss she seen her mother give her father on his birthday... and she blushed a darker shade of red, and she started thinking of a scenario, where he kissed her, because she saved him. She was about ready to feint until the boy spoke.
"Well, I need to go get my stuff, goodbye."
Hiashi raised a brow, why would the boy be going to get his stuff, that is until he realized he was standing there for a few good minutes pondering, as the boy was walking the other direction with a bag tied to his now short cane, and the cane resting on his shoulder
"Where are you going?"
Hinata was curious why her savior was leaving, maybe he was running away, and just happened to be passing by and saved her by accident?
"I am heading out with some old guy with white hair that called himself Jiraiya. He is gonna train me for the academy as we galavant through the world."
He hoped he was using that new word right. And with that, the boy left.
"Does he mean Jariya of the sannin?"
Hiashi watched the boy go before shrugging off the strange occurrence.
The toad sage would be able to handle the boy's statement. If the boy was going to be traveling with the Toad sage, he could handle getting the boy's statement.
He just had to send word to the Hokage a little quicker so he could get the statement before they left.
=-=-=Finally finished=-=-=
Alright, re worked and polished.
You don't realize how many mistakes you make in a story until your going over it and fixing your work.
I hope you all enjoyed, and would consider supporting me over on pat re on. I am really trying my hardest to deal with all the new stuff going on in my life and even had to deal with being a bit under the weather this past month.
I also chose to update this chapter sooner rather than later due to how long it is taking me to post stuff here.
I need something with better grammar and spell checking then open office.
I had to rework all most every paragraph in this chapter.
And what was with me and the crotch shot jokes.
I was an idiot.
