Hey sorry for the late update. To be honest often I had Problems with Motivation or what to write.
I hope this story is not to bad, compared to other stories this is not that awesome, what makes it hard for me to think ten Steps ahead and write a decent story.
I do not own Naruto or Spider-Man.
Chapter 8: A Spider among Shinobis
It was quiet in the Hokage's office as five adult shinobi, including three Jonin and two Special Jonin, looked speechlessly at their leader and one of the most dangerous men in the world.
After some time, the senior Jonin asked his boss, "Hokage-sama, did we understand correctly that this boy here will be watching over our training and even private lives for a year?"
Chuckling, the living legend responded by saying, "Yes, Kakashi-kun, this is Pītā. He is the last survivor of the spider clan from Kirigakure. Thanks to his clan's Kekkei Kenkai and his time spent on the run in the wilderness, he took on a ferocity that, if untrained, could be dangerous to certain people. That's why he's spent the last few months being trained by Danzo and Root."
The Hokage took a quick puff from his pipe before continuing to tell how Pītā is a prodigy with incredible talents in every Shinobi art, but the problem lies more in his personality.
The lack of a personal life, from hobbies to goals for the future and how the boy then began to be interested in both science and history.
Somewhere along the way from there, he started writing training regimes for fun. From specific person related to general for Genin to Anbu.
When Danzo stumbled upon it and read through it with the Kage and Jonin commander Shikaku Nara, they were shocked by the depth of thought, the anatomical drawings, and the detail of those regimens.
Therefore, they decided that such talent in planning should not be wasted and that a test group of already existing specialized plans should be tried out.
If the system works, Konoha will be reorganized from the ground up. Pītā will then also be paid for it. The old man spoke of the boy's service to the village as being comparable to that of the founding fathers Tobirama Senju and his brother Hashirama Senju.
While the man was talking, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the masked boy was not even listening attentively, but seemed to be reading something.
"Pītā-kun, are you listening?"
As if a bucket of cold water was emptied over him, the boy flinched briefly before realizing that he was being addressed by the Hokage.
"Um-hm. Yes, I... I mean yes I am listening. I was just fully not otherwise busy, would be rude mhm.", full of false self-confidence the budding shinobi replied nodding with an eye smile.
With a dry expression the God of Shinobi looked at him and said "Yeah? Then what was I talking about just now huh?"
In the meantime, the five shinobi in the room giggled quietly, and even some of the Anbu couldn't quite stifle a giggle, as Pītā could have sworn he heard 'Busted' somewhere.
With his face flushed red, he looks sheepishly everywhere but at the questioner's face as he replies "Uhh, about my training plans?"
"Technically not wrong. But put the book down for now and listen properly" Hiruzen spoke with a giggle in his voice and a warm expression on his face.
"So Pītā here is going to give you training plans that you have to follow for a year. During this time you will have normal missions although we will try to keep the long term missions to a minimum. Pītā maybe you want to say something about that too"
With a clear throat, the boy stood up and looked at the shinobi he was now sort of in charge of. As he watched them, he felt the power of them in one more than the other. 'Kind of scary, I've been in charge of five very strong individuals for a year now. What did Uncle say back then, about power and responsibility? Hmm, it doesn't matter'
"So I uh...yeah. Hello my name is Pītā Pāka, as of today I am in charge of all of them with the permission of the Hokage. All missions that are not deciding about the safety of the village or are S-class missions will be going over me."
As he said this, one of the shinobi, a kunoichi with purple hair, was about to object as the young Pāka just kept talking.
"It will be like this; you come to me with a mission and I will judge whether or not that will conflict with your planned training.
Should one of you have a mission that lasts longer than a week, it must be confirmed by me and the Hokage and you are required to continue training without jeopardizing your mission.
Should a case arise where you encounter a situation in the mission where you cannot do physical or chakra exercises, I will give each of you extra tasks that require more thinking than doing. For example things like Riddles or small but fine Chakra Control"
Saying this, he took some boards with Papers and pens and gave them to each of the five.
"Now I'm asking you to write down certain things for me. If one of you has an addiction, for example smoking or alcohol, then write it down. I would also like you to write down things like death dates of loved ones so that I can adjust your training at this time can keep your grief from crashing into your training.
Also certain things that can trigger a strong mental reaction from you, such as words that trigger you, loved ones or certain objects. I would hate to accidentally provoke you or trigger a panic attack."
After this explanation, the shinobi were astonished by the boy's demands.
Kakashi looked over at his Kage to see if the boy's demands would be rejected by Hiruzen and was shocked when he smiled and pulled on his pipe.
'Who is this Kid that Hokage-sama has that much trust towards him? He cannot be older than Naruto and still the Hokage trusts him with training of five of his Shinobi, one of them is even his son. How smart must he be for such an impressive task?'
"Hokage-sama is what the boy says true? Why do we have our missions run through this Brat?", a little louder and slightly aggressive, a Purple Haired Kunoichi asked her leader.
The other three Shinobi also looked at him questioningly, only Kakashi already knew the answer.
"Yes, Anko, what Pītā says is true. Also, you will treat him with the same respect that any sensei can demand from his students. He may be younger than you, but he is responsible for your training and your life to some degree from now on for one year. If you have such a big problem with that, you are welcome to take it up with me, but I would hate to have to send an Anbu team to protect the boy should you take your anger out on him.
As for the why, we want to test how effective his plans are and if he can handle the responsibility of such an Task"
Calmly, but seriously and with a commanding voice, the Hokage explains the situation. Kurenai, Anko and Asuma stiffen a bit at the tone of their boss. Gai however...
"YOSH, HOKAGE-SAMA I WILL TREAT Pītā WITH THE HIGHEST RESPECT: IF I DON'T, I SHALL RUN 1000 ROUNDS AROUND KONOHA ON MY HANDS AND IF I CANNOT MAKE THAT, I WILL CLIMB THE HOKAGE ROCK UP ONLY BY USING MY TONGUE AND THAT I WILL DO 100 TIMES. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO WORK WITH A YOUNG MIND IN WHICH THE FLAME OF YOUTH ARE BURNING SO STRONG!"
Pītā eyes were as big as plates after this speech, 'My gosh his file said he was extrinsic but my ears are ringing like a paper bomb went off next to me.'
The aging Kage just sighs and says quietly, "Room volume please Gai."
The green-clad Jonin just looked down at the floor in embarrassment after seeing the accusing looks from the others. "I apologize Hokage-sama."
"Pītā-kun, from now on these shinobi are under your supervision, as already agreed I want to be informed every two weeks about their and your own progress.
Do you have any other questions?" With these words, the former head of the Sarutobi clan turned to the boy.
"No questions, but a note that I would like to start the training tomorrow." After Pītā said this, Hiruzen's eyes widened a bit and he asked why, slightly astonished.
The reason made all the members of the room look at him with disbelieving eyes.
"I promised Naruto that I would play ninja with him today, and I intend to keep the promise I made to him before I knew I would be given such a task." Calm and composed, the soon-to-be killer replied.
For a moment, the silence in the room was so great that one could hear a pin drop, until the Hokage slowly began to giggle.
"Forgive me my boy, sometimes this old man here forgets that despite the things you've seen and can do, you're still a child. It's no problem you can go and continue to savor your childhood a bit."
After the words, the young clan leader left the office of the Kage and went out to practice ninja skills with his friend.
When Pītā left the room, there was a silence in the room, so tense it would take one of the Legendary Swords from Kiri to separate them.
Suddenly the Hokage moved and the rest of the shinobi in the room tensed, gone was the atmosphere of care that had been in the room a few minutes before.
Fuinjutsu signs which glowed ominously white expanded in the room. And then the god of the shinobi began to speak in a serious voice.
"What I am about to tell you is a secret of the S-class and if one of you ever speaks about it, he will be executed on the spot.
The boy will watch your training, but you should train him to the best of your ability.
He is one of the future pillars of Konoha and he has a great future ahead of him.
As I have already explained, he is the last survivor of the massacre of the feared spider clan of Kirigakure.
He has received the strongest version of the Kekkei Kenkai ever recorded in the history of the Shukeikō.
These Abilities, combined with his incredible raw intellect and impressive talent, already make him one of the most dangerous shinobi with just a little training.
There is much we don't know about his clan's Kekkei Kenkai, but it made him dangerous enough to seriously injure Itachi Uchiha on the night of the Uchiha clan massacre."
After these words, all present had dilated eyes and pale faces, especially Kakashi and Gai who had already seen Itachi in action knew of his power.
Hiruzen took another puff from his pipe before continuing. "Danzo also told me that Pītā-kun is getting stronger, faster, smarter and more skilled every day. His tactics adapt every day, and with each defeat, it becomes three times as difficult for his opponent to defeat him again.
But with each day the boy becomes more hollow, more dead than alive. He has already seen more death and suffering in his short life than most Jonin in the war.
Inoichi did a mental analysis with his clan jutsu in the boy's head and it turned out that one of the men who wiped out ninety percent of the clan was none other than the boy's uncle. The monster from Kirigakure Kisame Hoshigaki.
Before the eyes of Pītā, he tore his father, uncle and aunt into pieces. In addition, through his natural talent in chakra perception, he felt Hoshigaki take his mother's life. The boy saw and survived the massacre and even had to take the lives of two adult chunin on the way.
After that he spent almost a year in the wilderness and survived as part of a wolf pack.
And the night Itachi met him, Itachi attacked him with a genjutsu crueler and stronger than the one he used against his younger brother Sasuke."
The Kage paused for a moment before Kakashi spoke up, "Hokage-sama, with all due respect, why are you telling us this? From the sound of it, the boy needs therapy, not shinobi training."
The questioned sighed heavily and replied; "You may be right Kakashi-kun but therapy will not work on the boy. He knows exactly what a therapist is looking for and will make every word, every action look like he is making progress.
No, the will of the fire must be kindled in him, a fire that begins to spark in his eyes.
Therefore, you will not only consider him with the highest respect as your instructor, but even more I demand that you support him and if he asks you, to train him. Understood?"
"Hai Hokage-sama!"
"Well then there is also furthermore something I wanted to inform you..."
(Line Break)
On training ground nine two youngsters can be seen, children who fight against each other.
One blond, with scar-like marks on his face and dressed in an orange sweater, the other brown-haired in a red and black robe and with a mask that hid the lower half of his face.
The two were currently involved in a sparring match with each other, using only taijutsu.
Naruto caught a fearsome combo with several blows to the head and torso. His form appropriate for a mid-genin level guy but not yet refined.
With most academy students from his year and few years above, the speed and power in the punches would have been problematic. Unfortunately for him, his opponent belonged to the kind of human who possessed more strength and speed than many jonin.
His opponent's fighting style was much finer, smoother and more elegant. Everything the blonde threw at him was held back with near perfection.
As the match went on, Naruto received more and more punches, his punches becoming more and more uncoordinated until finally he was grabbed by the arm by his opponent and thrown to the ground while his arm was twisted by his opponent to a state he was in soon breaks.
"OW,OW,OW enough, enough, I give up Pītā, I give up Dattebayo!" Screaming, Naruto screams and slams his free arm on the ground when his friend won't let go.
"Uh, oops sorry, I must have exaggerated Naruto a bit." Slightly chirping and with a smile in his eyes, the addressed scratched his head after he let go.
Meanwhile, his blond friend rubs his aching arm while glancing over at Pītā, grumbling "Something? You almost broke my arm, baka!"
"Hehe relax Naruto I mean you gotta see it that way what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger"
"Stronger my ass, you broke all my bones today. You could have held back a bit, Dattebayo!" the blonde snorted and crossed his arms.
The masked hunter just looked over at him, 'Oh Naruto, if you only knew how much I was holding back.'
"Well, if you didn't have such bad taijutsu it wouldn't have been so hard for you. Also..."
"Hey, my taijutsu is not bad baka!" An agitated Naruto interrupted him before he started to swallow when he saw the look in Pītā's eyes.
"Don't interrupt me! As I was about to say, if you had spent more time training, your previous level would not have been a problem for you.
Your footwork may be better than it was then, but it still needs a lot more practice. You still try to fight more like a street fighter than a shinobi.
You try to hit me with your fists without precision, even though you know I'm stronger than you. You can't always fight like you're stronger than your opponent.
Your fighting style only works against opponents who are physically inferior to you.
So now you're telling me how you could have done better."
After Pītā said that, he looked at Naruto, who started to fall into deep thought.
After a few minutes of silence, the blond replied to his comrade; "I could have paid more attention to my surroundings and I could have used more leg attacks.
Also, my speed and reaction time was too bad, maybe ? Also I could coordinate my movements better."
With a smile in his eyes, Pītā nodded to his friend. He gave a short whistle and Takeru came trotting out of the forest towards them.
"Naruto, you have a lot of good points and you are right you are too slow. SO! To work on that you will run away now!"
"Run away? From what? Not fro..."
"YUP, you're going to run away from Takeru." With a mischievous look in his blood-red eyes, the brown-haired soon-to-be sensei looked at his blond friend, "If you escape him for two hours without him touching you once, I'll pay you today for, say, a bowl of ramen."
As soon as Naruto heard the special words, he jumped up as if all the pain from before had never been there.
"That's no problem for the Future Hokage of Konoha Dattebayo!"
"BUT! If you are touched by Takeru even once, YOU will have to pay ME for an entire menu at Yakiniku Q" After these words, Naruto looked at him with wide eyes.
It was well known to him that thanks to his Kekkei Kenkai, Pītā could eat as much if not more than some Akimichi adults.
He now looked with slightly hesitant eyes at the large black wolf who was scratching his back with relish.
He knew only too well how fast this animal was.
He took one deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment before exhaling and looking at Pītā and Takeru with a determined look in his eyes:
"Who do you think I am: I am Uzumaki Naruto the fifth Hokage of Konoha! This one will be a piece of cake!"
Pītā just shrugged his shoulders "Well if that's the case...start Takeru"
(1 hour later)
In Yakiniku Q, several of the visitors looked suspiciously and scornfully at a corner where two young men were sitting, one dressed in a hideous orange and the other in a red robe.
The latter giggled lightly to himself while his blond opposite looked sullenly at the sizzling meat on the grill.
"You cheated Dattebayo" muttered who probably to himself.
Pītā chirped just a little more as food magically entered his mouth again without him taking off his mask.
"Oh, does the princess want some special treatment? Naruto we are shinobi, well future ones, and there is no such thing as cheating. But if you had thought with your head rather than your stomach, you might have won.
So what do we learn from this?"
"Pītā cheats to win."
The person addressed just sips his drink in amusement.
"Let's just eat something okay, then we can talk more about your training."
Snorting, Naruto took some of the meat onto his plate, glancing over at his friend every now and then.
After a short time, he cleared his throat.
"Pītā when are you coming back to the academy? You haven't been back since the massacre, even Sasuke-teme is back." with big questioning blue eyes he looked at the red eyes of his first and best friend.
But when he mentioned the word massacre, Pītā seemed to stiffen and got a look in his eyes that Naruto had rarely seen in the eyes of a human until then, and only in the eyes of shinobi.
The look of absolute terror.
An expression the boy never knew what to do with or where it came from.
"Pītā are you okay?" But although he asked this and nudged his friend sitting opposite him with his foot, the latter did not react.
"Pītā? Pītā! What's wrong?" The boy with the red eyes suddenly started breathing heavily and faster and faster.
Naruto jumped up and tried to shake his friend to wake him from this trance, when suddenly a hand grabbed him.
"I wouldn't touch him right now if I were you."
A deep baritone voice made Naruto look up from the hand and he saw a man with black long hair tied back in a sort of pineapple hairstyle.
If it were in any other situation, Naruto would have exclaimed loudly that the man was Shikamara, his classmate.
However, two things prevented him from doing so; first, the panic attack of his best friend and second, the two scars that ran down the right side of the man's face.
"W-who are you?!" Naruto asked the man, stuttering slightly and tensing up. Too well he had made the experience with men who had no noble intentions.
"Calm down Naruto, take a deep breath and relax. Also keep your volume in check from now on. I am Shikaku Nara. Shika's father."
In a serious and calm voice, he ordered Naruto to be quiet while gently pulling him away from Pītā.
Before Naruto could say anything, another man with a blond ponytail started talking.
"Naruto, if you start misbehaving now, there can be serious consequences. Your friend here is having a severe panic attack and if we are not careful it will end badly here."
Confused, Naruto looked at the man with the green pupil-less eyes. Calmly he asked, "W-what do you mean by that Dattebayo? This is Pītā we're talking about here what's bad going to happen?"
Shikaku sighed softly and answered the blond jinchūriki's question, "Pītā comes from the dreaded Shukeikō clan, a clan known for their Kekkei Kenkai that gives them the powers of a spider.
These powers come with the animalistic instincts of a hunter. The powers the boy here possesses, and the instincts that would then control his actions could result in deaths here."
Naruto shrugged a bit in disbelief and took a few steps back. Stuttering, he replied, "P-Pī-Pītā would never hurt anyone!"
Shikaku just sighed again while his friend took care of the young killer, and decided to enlighten Naruto.
"How troublesome. Listen Naruto was there never a time when Pītā ever got angry and something about him changed?"
Hearing the words, Naruto remembered that one day so long ago. The day Pītā started to change and came to the academy less and less.
'That was the time when he threatened Mizuki-sensei after he shouted at him. That day...I felt like I was dying and I had that feeling because of...'
The Jonin commander recognized this in the blue eyes of the boy. He let another heavy sigh escape his lips as he looked around the restaurant.
All the guests were evacuated when the Anbu in charge of Pītā realized that he was on the verge of exploding.
There was a dead silence in the room and a tension Naruto rarely experienced.
Then suddenly Pītā gasped loudly and Inoichi stroked his back soothingly.
"Calm Pītā, breathe slowly and deeply, everything is fine. You are in Yakiniku Q and it is currently 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Naruto your friend is standing over there he is fine, both of you are fine. It's Inoichi, you just had a severe bout of PTSD. Shh all is well"
Pītā began to breathe more calmly after a few minutes. But before he or Naruto could say a word, Inoichi began to speak again.
"Shikaku please take Naruto home. I'll take Pītā here to the hospital. No back talk, Pītā you will not be left alone tonight under any circumstances, you can't be alone after such an attack."
The boy nodded, knowing that this observation was not only for his own protection. Pītā knew only too well what could have happened if the Yamanaka had not been there.
"Hey, but Pītā is fine now, why can't he be alone now and why can we not be together, Dattebayo?" Naruto shouted out loud again, upset.
Before any of the adults could say anything, Pītā's quiet, shame-filled voice kicked in.
"Let it be Naruto. Go home, I'll be fine."
Before Naruto could say anything, Inoichi was already grabbing his friend and used shunshin to take him away.
But even before the two left, Naruto saw something in his friend's eyes that would haunt him for years to come.
Pure all-destructive hatred.
