Author disclaimer: The long awaited chapter three. And by the way, Sorry about making Naruto seem a little wimpish, I thought that was how rape victims act. And as for him acting like a child around his grandparents and family? Well, He never really had a family before so really I believe that he is emotionally and mentally much younger then he is physically. Hope that explains some things.
Chapter Three: The Fight and Revelations
Naruto couldn't help but smile at the looks upon his friends' face. He especially couldn't but it when he came to his former rival's, Uchiha Sasuke. His eyes scanned each and every face. There was Haruno Sakura, Yamanaka Ino or rather Nara Ino, Hinata and Tenten. The three years that Naruto had gone had done the girls rather beautifully. Sakura's short pink hair was tied back into a short ponytail, she wore her hitai-ate on her forehead unlike she had done previously. Sakura also seemed to have shed her girlish outlook on life and adapted to her life as a ninja. Ino's blonde hair was long as it ever was and was currently tied into a braid. Her hitai-ate was stationed around her neck instead of her waist. It seemed that Hinata had changed the most over the three years. Once short-haired, her hair down hung down to her shoulders and seemed to frame her face. She no longer carried her hitai-ate anymore, for it would come later to Naruto that she had succeed her father's position as Head of Hyuga Clan. Tenten, it would seemed, had changed the least; her brown hair was still tied in the same twin bun hairstyle, only difference now was that she was taller and more confident. Naruto graced the quartet with a gentle smile, making only three blush and swoon.
Out of the males that first caught Naruto's attention was Shikamaru. Nara Shikamaru was still the same as Naruto remembered. Lazy-looking and carefree. Choji had also changed little in the years that had passed, still as 'big-boned' as ever. Sasuke had to have changed the most. No longer having the dark eyes that Naruto remembered from their Gennin days, Sasuke's eyes resembled that of his brother's. The Sharingan, it would seem, had manifested into Sasuke's natural eyes. Just like his Ginmegan would, one day. Sasuke's black hair was held back out of his face by only his hitai-ate, which was proudly displayed upon his head. The taller boy held all the confidence and pride of a true Leaf Ninja. Naruto also couldn't help but noticed how close he was standing to Tenten. Beside Sasuke was Rock Lee, who Naruto had to say was a lot different from his gennin days. The Taijutsu Specialist was no longer a carbon copy of Maito Gai, his former Jonin instructor. He was how sporting shaggy hair and a muscular body. He was also no longer dressed in that hideous green jump suit.
'Sakura probably had something to do with his ultimate transformation' Naruto thought. He had noticed Lee's arm around Sakura's shoulders. Aburame Shino, like Shikamaru and Choji, had changed the least while Naruto was away. Neji had cut his hair off short and gained an icy look to his pale eyes. He also had the stance of confidence but Naruto could detect something beneath that. Kiba had changed in some ways, none which Naruto could see Hinata liking. He was still the loud mouth braggart he ever was, just older. His hair was longer and spiky and he stood cockily.
"Naruto, is that really you?" Ino's voice broke out of his thoughts and caused his attention to return to the blonde.
"Yes, it is good to see you all again" Naruto said. "Perhaps we could talk after my fight with Kiba-San?" Naruto turned to Kiba, who was glaring at him. Behind him, Inari growled.
-- Let me rip him to shreds. That human has no respect. –
Naruto looked at Inari but shook his head. "No, this is my fight" Naruto ordered. "You are not to interrupt, am I clear?"
-- As the morning sky. –
Naruto turned to Kiba and bowed again, he took up Taijutsu stance. "Ready when ever you are, Kiba-san". Kiba looked to his companion, Akamaru, who nodded. Kiba launched himself at Naruto, attacking with everything he had. Naruto countered every move and gave a devastating kick to Kiba's middle, sending the other into a nearby tree.
"You son of a bitch!" Kiba said. "I'm gonna show you, once and for all, whose the better fighter".
"All bark and no bite" Naruto sneered. He was slowly gaining back the attitude he once held. "You did not beat me then and you definitely will not beat me now". Naruto crossed his arms and hmphed. He looked at Kiba as if he was staring at a disgusting looking bug that somehow offended him. "Are you going to bark at me all day or are you going to fight? Because if you are not, this is a waste of my time".
Kiba snarled and launched at him. His attacks were slopply and Naruto could easily counter them. "Pathetic" Naruto said. "Letting your anger cloud your judgement. That, Kiba-san, is your very first mistake". Naruto latched onto Kiba's arm and hooked kicked his leg around into Kiba's back. The brown-haired Chunnin staggered away holding his arm. He glared at the collected Naruto, whose eyes stared down at him. Naruto shook his head and turned away. "Like I said before. Pathetic . . . You have not even come to realize the truth potential of your Bloodline". Naruto walked away, heading toward Inari. Kiba, shakily, stood; he was not going to be beaten by some no talent hack. He was Inuzuka Kiba, Heir of the Inuzuka Clan. And he be damned if he let some worthless excuse of a ninja defeat him. Kiba charged despite the shouts to stop, Naruto was struck in the back and fell to the ground. Kiba threw punch after punch at the defenceless blonde.
Inari launched himself at Kiba, sinking his teeth into the Ninja's arm and tossed him sideways like a ragdoll. He stepped over Naruto snarling viciously.
-- Filthy Human! You dare to harm my Kiji . . . For that, You will pay! –
Inari stalked closer to Kiba, who cradled his damaged arm. "No!" Naruto ordered, he grabbed Inari the neck and held him with surprising strength. "I have ordered you to stay out of this fight, Inari . . . Do not make me order you as Heir to the Clan".
The fox stopped but did not stop snarling at Kiba. Naruto stood and wiped the blood away from his mouth. "It's been some time since anyone has gotten past my defenses" Naruto said, he looked at Kiba. "A mistake on my part". Kiba shakily stood only to fall. But, luckily, Sasuke and Lee caught him.
"Enough, Kiba" Lee ordered. "You can't go on, you've been defeated".
"Then I select my Second" Kiba said. "If you are of an ancient clan as you say you are, then you know what my Second is". Naruto couldn't help but glare at the brown-haired boy.
"This fight is between you and myself!" Naruto replied. "I will have no part in fighting a substitute for you. Selecting a Second is the way of our anscestors who fought to the death". Naruto crossed his arms and turned slightly. "This is not a fight to the death".
"Still, I chose a Second" Kiba said. Naruto rolled his eyes upwards, if the stupid fool wanted a Second why not let him have it?
"Fine, choose your Second" Naruto growled. "Though mark my words, Kiba-san, if this fight becomes one to the death and your Second dies . . . You shall not live to see another day".Kiba grinned and turned slightly to look at Neji, who nodded. The Heir of the Hyuga Branch Family stepped forward. Naruto, unconsciously, took a step back. His mind was playing tricks on him, making him see Orochimaru rather then Neji.
-- Easy, Kiji, it's that disrespectful Huyga Brat – Inari called.
Naruto closed his eyes and took several deep mediating breaths. It was an exercise that his Uncle Aozora had taught to him. Naruto opened his eyes, feeling calmer already. Naruto knew that the Uzumaki style of fighting was no good with Neji. The Uzumaki Taijutsu, known to the family as Dance of the Fire Spin, which came in three stages. The Hyuga Family style was a lesser form compared to the Dance of the Fire Spin, but still could be countered.No, it would seem that he would have to depend upon his mother's art. Either the Tengoku-teki Kobushi or the Tengoku-teki Hoshi.
Naruto settled into the stance of the first stage of the Tengoku-teki Kobushi (Celestial Fist). Neji, as predicted, moved into his family's art, The Gentle Fist. The two stood like statues, unwavering and strong. Sakura, confused by this, turned to Lee. But the Taijutsu Specialist expected his girlfriend's confusion. "They are both of ancient Houses" Lee explained. "If one moves first, the other shall win". In a blink of an eye, Neji and Naruto struck at each other. Neji made to punch Naruto's stomach but the smaller more agile boy dodged over head and placed a open palm thrust into Neji's back. The Hyuga went sprawling to the ground. Neji flipped up and moved at Naruto, who countered easily with a tiger-strike to Neji's face then a hand chop to his back. Naruto returned to the stance of the the Tengoku-teki Kobushi.
"Unbelievable" Kiba said. Hinata had activated her Byugakan but it proved useless. Naruto's movements were faster then her Byugakan could track. The Hyuga Clan leader could see that Sasuke was having trouble with his Sharingan.
"What is it, Sasuke?" Tenten inquired obiviously noting Sasuke's puzzled look.
"Naruto some how is blocking my Sharingan" Sasuke replied to the Blade Specialist. "I can't copy and analyze his moves".
Naruto glanced over at Sasuke, smiling slightly. "That is because it is impossible for you to copy my Clan's Art" Naruto commented. "You must be of the blood. Since you are not, then you can not copy nor track me". Naruto dodged upwards; he landed on Neji's shoulders in a perfect handstance. "I believe it was time I ended this match". Naruto pushed off Neji, flipping into the air. He made a strange and unfamiliar seal. "Tengoku moeru hi namida no Jutsu!" (Heavenly Burning Fire Teardrop Technique).
Burning fires dropped from the sky and surrounded Neji, Naruto landed. He created another seal. "Hi kaiten no Jutsu! (Fire Spin Technique)" Naruto called. A the Fire wisps merged into a fire spin and knocked Neji to the ground. Naruto released the chakra, allowing it to dissipated into the air. "I believe that I am the victor?" He looked at the others, who merely nodded. Naruto smiled. He turned and bowed to the group. "Perhaps one day you will join me at my estates?'
"Uh--- Okay" Shikamaru answered. Naruto bowed again and walked away, not noticing that Neji was standing up. Hinata looked at her cousin, watching him warily. The heir to the Hyuga Branch Family raised his hands and preformed a seal.
"Katon: Housenka!" (Mythical Fire Flower)
"Naruto! Watch Out!" Hinata yelled. The blonde turned and barely had time to raise up his arms to defend himself. "Naruto!!"
Neji gave a smirk but an eruption of smoke caused him to falter. "A Clone?!" Ino said, in disbelief. "If Neji was fighting a clone then where is the real Naruto". The group watched as the smoke cleared, revealing Naruto standing there. But what struck them the most was his eyes. They had changed and stared at them as if they could see their souls. Shikamaru's eyes widened in disbelieve.
"That's not possible" Shikamaru choked out. "The Silver eyes are legends". Everyone turned to the Shadow Ninja, who stared at the blonde. "The Silver Eyes, or Ginmegan, are more powerful then the Byugakan and the Sharingan".
"Yes, and it is believe that the two had evolved from the bloodline" Naruto added. "Though they are significantly less powerful then the Ginmegan". Naruto blinked his Silver eyes. "This is the Bloodline of the Imahitotsu Family . . . We are the bearers of the Ginmegan".
Naruto bowed and turned to leave but a whirlwind of leaves stopped him. Out of nowhere, Tsunade appeared. "Obasan!" Naruto said, shocked. "What are you doing out here?"
"Coming to check on you, Little One" Tsunade replied. She rested a hand on the other blonde's shoulder. "Jiraiya knew of this little confrontation and told me." She looked disappointed at Neji and Kiba. "Come along, Naruto, there is much we need to discuss".
"Yes, Obasan" Naruto replied. He made to leave with Tsunade but Sakura and Ino prevented them.
"Naruto, why are you calling Godaime-sama 'Aunt'?" Sakura inquired.
"You aren't related to her" Ino added. Naruto gave a small smile and looked up to Tsunade, who nodded.
"I am related to her" Naruto replied. "She is the elder sister to my grandfather, Uzumaki Nagisa. Thus she is my Great-Aunt . . . I am the great- grandson of the Nidaime and only child of the Yondaime".
"Come, Naruto" Tsunade said. Naruto nodded and grasped his aunt's hand and together, they disappeared into a whirwind of leaves. Sakura looked at the group.
"Not only is Naruto a bearer of the Ginmegan . . . But he is also apart of the lineage of the Hokages!!" Shikamaru said.
"What are you talking about?" Kiba demanded.
"The Uzumaki Clan, origninally of Grass Country and Water Country, were the ones that constructed this Village" Shikamaru replied. "The First Hokage was Uzumaki Aokusa. He and his brother, Uzumaki Ryu, are the ones that created this village with members of their own small village in Grass. They were the first Hokages, the Shodaime and the Nidaime!"
"What?!"
"But how could that be, Shikamaru?" Ino said. "None of the Hokages bear the last name of Uzumaki".
"In public they didn't" Shikarmaru replied. "In private only the people closest to them knew their Last name was Uzumaki. When a Uzumaki entered the Academy, he or she would take their mother's last name until they had become Hokage. Once ready to become Hokage, they take the name of their strongest attack. In the case of the Yondaime, Kazama Arashi – Kaze no Arashi (Storm Winds)."
