Maikeru activated his eye and looked into the tent Naruto was sleeping in. Maikeru's eyes widened a lot. Then they closed in disappointment. So you have her blood. I'm sorry Naruto. But you must die. Tomorrow, I'll kill you.
------ Jiraiya and the rest ----------
Tsunande came back from her walk. She went to Jiraiya and Itachi and looked at them.
"So will you help us or not?" Jiraiya asked.
Tsunande paused for a moment hoping her answer would be the right thing to do.
"Hai, I will."
----------------
Naruto was snoring in his tent thinking about ramen and drooling. " Ramen..... slurp MY ramen!"
Maikeru came into Naruto's tent fully dressed. He kicked Naruto really hard in the ribs.
"Itai! That hurt maikeru-sensei. It isn't even morning yet. Why did you have to wake me up?" Naruto complained.
"The sun is coming up. It is morning. Number 1 to a successful ninja. Always wake up early to train. Number 2. Do not let yourself be distracted by earthly pleasures." Naruto obviously knew what Maikeru was talking about. " Number 3. Always listen to what your teacher says. It will help you because that's all the master wants to do for his/her student. To help them become better. Now follow me. We will train in another place." Maikeru started to walk away. When he reached the doorway, he said,
"By the way, you have 30 seconds to get properly dressed or else your training exercise warm-up will be doubled." Maikeru warned.
"Kuso!" Naruto cussed as he scrambled to get his clothes and started to change. He put on his black pants, his black tee-shirt, his weighted shoes, and his weighted coat. When everything was properly on, Naruto quickly ran out of his tent and looked to find Maikeru.
He found Maikeru starting to walk into the forest. "Ano sa! Ano sa! Matte Maikeru-sensei! I'm coming!" Naruto scrambled over to catch up to his new sensei. Naruto jumped over the fire, tripped over a backpack, and got cut as he went through the thorn bushes for a shortcut. When Naruto finally caught up to Maikeru, he was already panting and taking in deep breathes. Maikeru smiled at Naruto's act. He thought, Maybe I should let him live for a few days.
"Naruto, do 2,000 push-ups, 4,000 sit-ups, then run around this trail." Maikeru pointed a road right next to Naruto. "You will need to go around it 5 times at least. Just to warn you, one lap around on the road is 10 miles already. Har har. I'm making you work fast. Start!" Maikeru said.
"Wait, right now?" Naruto asked.
"No after you die. Yes of course right now." Maikeru snapped.
Naruto dropped down to the ground and started to do his push-ups.
"While you are warming-up, I will tell you about the writing on your left arm. As you should know by now, my three servants and I know the ancient jutsus. They were powerful and really hard to master. There are so many that nobody has memorized it or even use all of them except one person. He was the smartest of all the people who can use the ancient jutsus. And he lived more than 3,00 years before we were all murdered by the Kyuubi. The writing on your arm will show you what a jutsus does and the hand signs. Then it will be up to you to master it. Not all will benefit you in fighting. Some will teach you an easy way to do certain tasks. Over time, each user adds more jutsus to the tattoo. So there are always many more to it in the past years. I myself have added more than a few to this tattoo. Now, the things you need to work on is your body. You need to develop a better body to fight with. A good body will help you a lot when you learn new things. Keep doing what I told you to do. I need to check on something." Maikeru said as he started to walk away.
When Maikeru got back to the camp, all three of his servants came out and awaited for Maikeru's orders. " I am sure the two who was with the boy will come looking for him. I can see why Naruto is so precious to them. I want you to create a genjutsu to conceal our presence. Make them think our location is somewhere else. After you cast that, you three will search the two men out and fight them. Do not kill them. Just injure them. Remember, if you get hurt, teleport back to here and I will heal you. Start now and I will not except failures. Failure equals to 100 times the beating I usually give you. GO!" Maikeru walked back to Naruto. Naruto had already finished his sit-ups and push-ups. Naruto was starting to run now.
Maikeru sat down and thought about how he would train Naruto and how he could prevent her blood from activating. What she would do is absorb her demon's strength and memories. Nothing of her outer appearance would change. But Naruto might. He has the Kyuubi inside of him. If Naruto merges with Kyuubi, then he will be invincible. But his outer appearance could change because of the power Kyuubi has. I need to stop her blood from activating that would start the merging. She had another power. She had the power to summon any demon she wanted. But each one of them are much harder to control than any boss summonings. But what made it easy for her was because she could make the demons obey her 50 of the time because of her bloodline. If she failed, the demon would go out of control and kill everyone it meets. So she didn't really like summoning the demons to her aide. If Naruto cannot control the demons, the demons will kill him, and everybody else. Since Naruto has the king of demons inside of him, any demon would want to kill Naruto. How do I make it stop. How can I make the reaction freeze. I need a way....... Maikeru thought for an hour when Naruto came up to him and announced the completion of his pre-training. Maikeru then trained Naruto how to use his chakra more effectively and some jutsus that weren't ancient.
Naruto was going on well when he suddenly had a headache. Then as suddenly as it came, the headache left. Naruto was dazed. He didn't know what to do. Suddenly, his eyes closed and he saw a picture of image Naruto making hand signals, after image naruto made the hand signals, the whole place blew up. Naruto opened his eyes as the place blew up. Then his head hurt again as he got access to hand signs that just appeared from his head.
Without thinking, Naruto used the hand signs and focused on a branch on his right. The tree literally blew up. Maikeru was amazed when he saw this. " Is this your first time using this jutsu?" Maikeru asked. Naruto nodded. "Amazing. Your first time and you learned it. In case it didn't tell you, you can only blow up objects. You cannot blow up animals, humans, demons, or clothing on the humans. It just wouldn't work. But wow, you made it work on your first try. You must be talented." Maikeru said. All the more reason to kill you Maikeru thought.
"Now, you will practice the jutsus you learned today till dinner. If you keep practicing your jutsus, they will be much more effective." Maikeru said.
"Hai!" Naruto left Maikeru to train his newly founded jutsus. He was content and couldn't wait to tell Jiraiya and nii-san about his experience when he sees them again. If he ever sees them again.
--------------
Jiraiya, Itachi, Tsunande, Tonton and Shizune were at the site where Jiraiya and Itachi were beaten. Shizune lifted a scrap of cloth to Tonton for him to smell it. When the pig did, Tonton shook his head and made some noises.
"Oh you can't smell because it is over 3 weeks old?" Shizune asked. Tonton nodded furiously. Shizune sighed and went on to find more things that could track their enemies down. What is so important about this boy anyway? Is it because he is the kyuubi? Or is it because he is Jiraiya's and Itachi's friend? Shizune thought.
They had stayed in the village of sake for 2 and a half weeks before setting out. Jiraiya and Itachi were healed but were resting to get their strength back. They were also packing food so they could travel a long time without the need of stops.
This is hopeless.... I just agreed to this because of my debt and the ancient jutsus part in this. I could be gambling... Tsunande groaned as she searched to ground for footprints.
Naruto.. Naruto... we have to find Naruto! There are no mistakes about it. There has to be a way to find Naruto. HE can't be dead yet. Or is he? No! Don't think negative. Naruto has to live! Naruto! I'll find you. Itachi thought.
Jiraiya was using his binoculars when he got whacked on the head. " Jiraiya you pervert. Help us. You're the one who made me do this for you....." Tsunande said
Jiraiya nodded and went back to his binoculars. Tsunande was about to hit Jiraiya when Jiraiya suddenly jumped up. "Jiraiya, whats the matter?" Tsunande asked.
"They're coming. The three who kicked my ass. I bet they came back to fight us so we won't get to Naruto... What do we do? Should we just attack them or run?" Jiraiya said out loud.
"WE fight! I woe them a payback!" Itachi said enthusiastically.
"Yeah. I want to see who could be Jiraiya so easily!" Tsunande mocked.
Jiraiya sweat dropped. "uhh they were actually really hard. I think we should stop and consider a plan before we attack them...."
Itachi nodded in agreement, "What Jiraiya says is true. We cannot go and fight them with no stragety. We need to come up with a way to beat them."
"Hai, ok. Well Jiraiya when we meet them, I want you to summon GamaBunta. I will summon...." Tsunande continued to talk telling each one of them what to do. Whenever Itachi or Jiraiya saw a plan that had flaws in it, they would speak out and state another way to avoid that problem.
2 hours later
" We go this way and do this!" Tsunande yelled.
"NO! This is the right way to assault them! Your way is wrong. I will use my toad summon on top of them and squash them flat!" Jiraiya yelled right back at her.
" We will do this way. Across, the field, around the pool, then lead them into town. It will be harder for them to track us." Itachi said calmly.
Tsunande shook her head, :"Baka, if it is hard for them to track us, then it will be hard for us to track them!"
"I told you! My plan is the best!" Jiraiya screamed.
"NO mine is!" Tsunande yelled.
"Mine Is more effective." Itachi said with the vein over his eyes twitching.
Shizune looked around her. They were at the bar discussing on how to kill the three bodyguards. Shizune heard a stifled squeak. She turned around and saw every men in the bar, big and burly, hugging the walls as if to protect themselves from an invisible force. Shizune made a fake laugh and said sorry. Then she sighed as the two sannins and sharingan users kept arguing on how to rescue Naruto.
--- Naruto -------
It was night and Naruto was still thinking about what he learned today. I have learned so much this past few days. I have become physically stronger and more intelligent. Hehe! When ero-sennin and Nii-san come, I will kick their ass! And after that! I will go to Konoha and become the Hokage! And when I become hokage, the whole village will acknowledge me. Naruto thought happily. Naruto grinned as he remembered what Konoha looked like from on top of the hokage monument. At that time, Naruto was three. (There were stairs!! Naruto couldn't climb
Naruto just got into trouble so he wanted to run away and dwell in silence. Naruto ran to the hokage monument and started to climb. When he was on top, he looked amazed by the brilliance of Konoha's buildings. Naruto stayed there till the sun went down. Then Naruto looked up at the starts.
---- Flashback----
Naruto looked at the stars happily. He loved the starts. They were the only things that didn't look at him strangely. He sat there wondering if stars could talk. Then the stars could be his... his....friend. What was a friend? Naruto found a dictionary. He flipped to a page and found a word. Naruto looked at it and read slowly and carefully. Friend- n. 1. A person whom one knows well and is fond of 2. An ally, supporter, or sympathizer
Then Naruto looked at another word. Friendly- adj. 1 of or like a friend; kindly 2 not hostile; amicable 3 supporting; helping. Naruto's heart suddenly felt a stab of pain. He found himself unable to read so he flipped to another page and started reading from the top. Family- n. 1. Household 2 parents and their children 3. Relatives. 4 all those descended from a common ancestor; lineage. 5. A group of similar or related things. Naruto was kind of confused. "Relatives? Parents? Hmmm." Naruto wondered aloud. Then Naruto turned to another page. Love n. 1 strong affection or liking for someone or something 2 a passionate affection of one person for another 3 the object of such affection; a sweetheart of lover. 4 the love that come from the family like a parent to a son or daughter.
Naruto's heart felt stabbed 100 times. "What is a father? What is a mother? What is love or a friend? Do I have parents? Do I have friends or a friend?" Naruto asked out loud. "Is love what happens when all my classmates get picked up by their parents? Or their brother? Why don't I have parents? Why can't I have a friend? Am I really that scary?" Naruto looked to the stars again. "I wish people will acknowledge me...." Naruto sat for another 30 minutes just looking at the stars in the sky.
"Naruto!" Iruka siad.
"Wahh! Iruka-sensei! Hello!" Naruto stood up, put his fake smile on, and waved his hand.
"Naruto! Why are you here? I've been looking for you everywhere. You are supposed to sleeping! No children under the age of ten can stay up after the sun goes down." Iruka said. But Naruto had to admit it, he was getting tired. Well, guess I have to continue smiling for people. Naruto thought as he followed Iruka down the hokage slope.
-----End Flashback------
Naruto sighed. "My family is... No my friends are, Maikeru-sensei...." Naruto drifted off to all you can eat ramen land. Maikeru smiled as he heard what Naruto said outside of Naruto's tent. "I'm sorry Naruto, I can only give you one week to live. Your companions have got another good shinobi to find and rescue you. Plus, your mother's blood is reawakening. I've tried to make it dormant by teaching you to keep calm but it wouldn't work. The only thing I could say right now is that I'm sorry, but you must die before you destroy the world....."
--- the bushes 7 days later ---
Jiraiya looked at the camp from a tree and signaled to Itachi. Itachi was a in another tree also looking at the camp. When he got the signal from Jiraiya, he signaled to Tsunande. Tsunande was on the ground ready to hit the ground and create an earthquake into the camp. After countless hours of shouting, they had finally come up with a plan by Shizune. Tsunande was to create an earthquake that would go through the campe and tear it up after Itachi went in and had taken Naruto. Shizune was to look from a tree above Tsunande and tell her what was going on. Jiraiya then had to summon GamaBunta and use the Gama Yuedan ( Toad Oil Cannon) Then if all of the three enemy ninjas escaped to the right, Tsunande, Itachi, and Jiraiya will attack them.
--- Naruto----
Over the past days, Naruto became more stronger with Maikeru in a week than he could have been with Itachi and JIraiya in a year. Naruto felt really good. Now he was going to work on his taijutsu by fighting wood. Naruto went to a tree stump he made and started to punch and kick it. He was only five minutes into the training when he heard someone say "Now." Naruto looked around and saw, Itachi!
Itachi grabbed Naruto and carried him safely away. Maikeru's eyes widened. How did they see through the genjutsu? Maikeru was about to intercept Itachi when he felt the ground rumbling. The other three ninjas stood up and started to run away. Maikeru saw a big earthquake coming straight at him. He jumped to the right and kept running. But only one of Maikeru's servants jumped right. The other two were burned by the Toad Oil Cannon. After a lot of confusion, suddenly, the whole clearing of trees to the right of the earthquake fell down.
" GIVE ME NARUTO! COME AND FIGHT ME YOU COWARDS! YOU WILL NOT MAKE ME MISS MY OPPORTUNITY! GIVE BACK NARUTO TO ME!" Maikeru started to scream. Jiraiya, Tsunande and Itachi appeared in front of Maikeru. (Itachi threw Naruto into the bushes again). Shizune was aiming her shooting needles so she wouldn't miss.
"Naruto is not yours. We are surprised that you didn't kill him by now. Naruto came with us and he belongs with us." Jiraiya said.
"Naruto is special to me. He is like a little brother to me. If you try to break that connection," Itachi's face grew demonlike, " I will kill you!"
Maikeru just looked at the three carefully then began to chuckle, then laugh. "You three, you guys think you could just beat me? I am all powerful. There is nothing you three puny ninjas can do to kill me." The last ninja of Maikeru's appeared next to Maikeru. He stod up and said, "Sensei, please let me help you destroy these pests." Maikeru nodded.
Jiraiya , Tsunande, and Itachi prepared to fight. " I got the" Jiraiya was interupted in the middle of his sentence.
"HEY Ero-sennin and nii-san! How are you doing? You finally came! Want me to show you the techniques I just learned this week? What about this cool tattoo on my left arm?" Naruto lifted up his left sleeve to reveal the tattoo. Jiraiya, Itachi, and Tsunande all stared in shock.
"An opening!" Maikeru said as he started to attack. The nameless ninja went and kicked Itachi. Maikeru ran up to the two sannins and punched them with one hand. They rose up and out of the ground and landed onto the ground face first.
"Maikeru-sensei, why are you attacking them? You said they will come and take me away. And that they left me just to train. I didn't know all of you were enemies." Naruto started to say obviously confused.
Maikeru looked at Naruto. Then he took out a kunai and started to run at Naruto. An instinct that Naruto didn't know he had made him dodge all of Maikeru's attempts to kill Naruto. Tsunande showed up between Maikeru and Naruto. She punched Maikeru in the stomach and followed with another punch in the arm. Then she kicked his head and kicked Maikeru again in the stomach. Maikeru fell down with blood coming out of his mouth.
Jiraiya was shocked. Maikeru-sensei? And why does Maikeru want to kill Naruto now? He could have done it in this past week. And when did Naruto learn to dodge like that? And why the hell does Naruto have an ancient tattoo on his left arm. Jiraiya thought. But he immediately had to join fighting because Tsunande froze as she saw Maikeru spit blood out.
Jiraiya hit Maikeru in the face but got punched in the stomach also. Maikeru jumped back and made hand seals
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu ( Shadow clone Technique)
About 20 clones of Maikeru appeared.
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu
20 of Jiraiya's clones appeared also. Then they started to spar. Jiraiya was trying to distract Maikeru until Tsunande came to her senses and help fight.
--Itachi's fight--
Itachi flew into the ground. "Kuso.." Itachi said weakly. The nameless figure came to Itachi and made some hand seals. "Sorry, but you are going to die.." Itachi suddenly lashed out his foot and kicked the guy in the privates. Then Itachi started to punch the guy like crazy. Itachi went behind the guy and kicked him in the back. Then Itachi ran back. The guy stood up as blood poured from his nose and mouth. He wiped them off and made hand signals.
Ancient Elemental Technique Katon meteor
Meteors started to ran around Itachi. Itachi dodged one by only a foot. He could feel the heat passing through.
The nameless figure made more hand signals. He whispered the name and the meteor blew up in front of Itachi. Itachi was blown back and his clothes started to burn. Itachi's face was a little singed on the right. This time, Itachi was to weak to fight. The other man walked up to Itachi again but kept a safe distance away.
"Heh, this time, you will surely die...." He said.
"Really? Last time you didn't accomplish that. Now you won't" Itachi said quickly.
Mangekyou Sharingan Tsukuyome (Moon Reader)
The man fell into Itachi's trap again.
--Itachi's world---
The nameless man suddenly found on a chair. Only a rope was tied to his neck but he couldn't move his hands or legs. Suddenly Itachi appeared behind him.
"You countered this last time and you said it was because you understood loneliness. But do you understand pain?" Itachi said coldly.
Another Itachi appeared. He took out his kunai and threw it at the man. The other Itachi pushed the man off. So the man had a kunai pierced in his body as he was hanging. Then he immediately found himself on the chair again. But instead of one kunai being thrown at him, there were 10 this time.
--Outside of Itachi's world---
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Jiraiya, Tsunande, Maikeru, Naruto, and Shizune heard the man scream. He continued to scream in pain as he walked around blindly clutching his neck and stomach. Itachi quickly ended the suffering man's life as he slit his throat. Now it was three on one.
"Hehehehe..... " Maikeru laughed. He made some hand signals
Explosion no Jutsu!
The entire area around of Maikeru blew up. Jiraiya was knocked out into the woods which were 5 miles away. Tsunande then got pissed. She ran at Maikeru ready to kick his ass but got caught in the trap Maikeru just recently made. She couldn't take her foot out of the hole. Tsnande cursed herself for her carelessness. Maikeru then started to walk toward Naruto. Itachi tried to run but found out he was too tired. He could only watch as his adopted brother is going to be slaughtered.
Naruto got scared. What should I do? Should I run? Should I fight? This is an s class ninja. I can't beat him! I'm going to die! I can't kill my sensei!
"Run Naruto! Run away!" Itachi yelled.
Naruto came back to reality from his thoughts. He saw Maikeru keep on advancing to Naruto. Naruto found strength he didn't think he had. Naruto jumped away and made hand signals.
Double chakra no jutsu
Suddenly Naruto had twice his strength. Maikeru's eyes widened. He didn't know Naruto had this jutsu.
"Heh, if you win against that man, little boy, I will give you my necklace. You can't beat a jounin. You're not even a genin!"
Naruto looked at Tsunande and said, "Watch me! I will beat him." Naruto made another set of hand signals. Maikeru's eyes widened even more as he recognized them.
"That's right. If you come any closer, I'll blow this whole place up to bits. It will be easy because of my new and extra chakra I have." Naruto said.
Suddenly, Shizune appeared right beside Tsunande. She fired her needles at Maikeru. Reloaded, and fired again. Because Maikeru didn't want to move, he got hit with the needles. Shizune kept her eyes on Maikeru as she let Tsunande free.
"Naruto.." Maikeru gasped for breath. " You have become more stronger and if your mother's blood activates, kill yourself. Do not let it happen or the rest of the world will die. Here are the scrolls to your bloodline and on how to improve your ancient training. You need to read carefully and not let this catastrophe happen." Maikeru started to breath harder, " You are truly your mother's son, Naruto. I just wish..." Maikeru's face paled as he felt his life fleeting before him. "I just wish I knew you more, nephew."
With that Maikeru closed his eyes and took one last breath and died. Naruto again felt a pang of sadness in his heart again. He had a relative and he didn't know it? Naruto stood there thinking about what Maikeru, his uncle said.
"Oi, kid, help me get out of this trap." Tsunande said. Naruto walked over to her and pulled her out.
"Now lets get Itachi and Jiraiya." Tsunande said as she limped away.
--sake village--
The five people rented two rooms in a hotel to rest. Amazingly, Naruto didn't suffer any injuries. Tsunande started to heal the others.
Jiriaya kept looking at Naruto in shock. Naruto held Maikeru till Shizune killed him? This kid is amazing. And that guy was Naruto's uncle?
"Naruto, what did you do during your week with Maikeru?" Jiraiya asked.
Naruto looked out the window and didn't answer. In his brain, he was replaying the fight they just had today. And while he was, he couldn't stop to feel guilty that he killed his uncle.
"HEY Naruto do you hear me?" Jiraiya asked.
Tsunande hit Jiraiya. "Baka. Leave him alone. He doesn't have to tell us."
"Training." Naruto said.
Everybody looked at Naruto. Naruto put on his fake grin again and said, "Oh yeah! Can we get ramen?"
Itachi and JIraiya quickly backed away.
" I need to go to the restroom!" Itachi said.
"I need to I need to .... I need to uhh.. I need to go. Yeah! I need to go! See ya" Jiraiya hurriedly left the hotel.
"Well, I guess I have to buy you food kid." Tsunande said.
Naruto jumped around and screamed " Yes! Ramen! I get Ramen today!"
"Oh by the way, I am Shizune, this is Tsunande. And I think you are Naruto. Am I right?" Shizune said.
Naruto grinned "Hai! And I'm gonna become hokage of Konoha one day so the villagers will acknowledge me!"
Tsunade froze Naruto reminded of her two lost loves. "Hokage.." Tsunande stuttered.
"Hai! Hokage! I'm going to become hokage! Oh yeah, Tsunande baa-chan can I have my necklace now?" Naruto asked.
Tsunande was shocked, " Why did you call me grandma hag?"
"Jiraiya said you were over fifty." Naruto answered. He held his hand out.
Tsunande stuck her finger out and flicked Naruto's headband. Then she caught it and kissed Naruto's forehead. She put her necklace into Naruto's hand and said, "Ok Naruto, become the hokage for me."
Tsunande winked and walked out of the room. She stopped at the doorway though. "Don't you want your ramen?"
Naruto changed from a puzzled quiet and thoughtful immediately to a hyperactive and loud Naruto who only wants his ramen.
"RAMEN! YES RAMEN! I LOVE RAMEN! RAMEN! RAMEN! RAMEN! RAMEN! I WILL EAT NOTHING ELSE EXCEPT RAMEN."
"Be quiet Naruto! You're getting annoying!"
Shizune followed smiling.
