"Blah" speech
#Blah# Thoughts
-----------------------
Gaara and Lee was resting under a tree and thinking about their fight a few minutes ago with the powerful Sound Nin, Kimimaru.
Flash Back
After the huge Sand Avalanche Gaara sealed the ground with his chakra to harden the surface. Lee was glad that Gaara was on his side.
"Is he dead?" asked Lee.
"Unfortunately no..." replied Gaara and prepared himself as a strange creature erupted from the ground.It was Kimimaru in his cursed form number two.Gaara did his Desert Coffin Jutsu but Kimimaru pushed himself out of it and continued to charge at the two Ninjas.Gaara quickly summoned a wall of sand to block the incoming Sound nin but Kimimaru was too strong and he broke through the sand wall and slammed onto Gaara sending him a few feet away.Luckily Gaara had his armor of sand on him and he got up from the impact with little cracks on his face and body.He glared at Kimimaru and was shocked at his new form.
Kimimaru said in a mocking voice "Is this the limit of your absolute defense? Of course you have sand covered all over you in the first place...." then Lee dashed beside him and gave a shout "He's not your only opponent !! Have you forgotten about me?" Then he gave a Konoha Sempuu to Kimimaru's head but then his tail came slamming against Lee's face.Luckily Gaara noticed this and his sand protected Lee from the strike.
"This sand of yours is starting to annoy me...You will die first Gaara." said Kimimaru.Suddenly he took out his spine from his back and made a cross stance saying his technique "Tessenka No Mai (Dance Of The Clematis)"
Lee was shocked at this as he saw the usage of bones could be a weapon in the hands of Kimimaru #He used his spinal cord as a weapon?#
Kimimaru dashed at Gaara and wrapped his spinal cord around Gaara as the sand protected him from the spiky pile of bones.Kimimaru then covered his left hand with bones and formed some kind of drill."This is the strongest and hardest bone in my body.It will pierce through you and your pathetic sand."
Gaara remained calm as he made his counter jutsu "Saikou Zettai Bougyo Shukaku No Tate (Supreme Absolute Defense, Shield Of Shukaku.) the sand morphed into a fat Racoon with a straw hat between Gaara and Kimimaru.
Kimimaru ignored this and thrusted his drill into the Sand Raccoon.
The bone surrounding Kimimaru's hand cracked and was destroyed by the impact.
"It is solid ...indeed." said the Sound Nin.
"From the ground I collected hard minerals and compressed them with my chakra.Your ability...is a bloodline limit am I right?" asked Gaara.
"Yes...I'm from the Kaguya clan but now it's my ability alone."
"Then you are the last one...Your clan will die today."
"Heh,maybe because of my body's illness I cannot stay for long..."
"Then you will lose now." said Gaara as he made a handseal.He gathered the sand around Kimimaru and formed a pond of Quick sand to suck Kimimaru down the earth.
"This opponent..." cursed Kimimaru as the sand was near his chin."
"You'll sink to the depth of 200 meters underground and be held there.With the pressure of the sand clinging to your body,you will immediately be unable to move even a finger."
Lee slumped down to his knees and asked Gaara "It's finished...It's over isn't it?"
Suddenly they heard a voice coming from the quick sand "Sawarabi No MAE !! (Dance Of The Seedling Ferns)"
The ground was filled with sharp bones coming out of them heading towards Gaara and Lee (Think about the sunken colony in Star Craft)
Gaara quickly used his sand to carry him and Lee away and hovered above the sharp pile of bones."You..you saved me.It's amazing that you could do something like this." said Lee.
"It's nothing...I was always able to use sand to carry me.It's a simple task." replied Gaara slightly panting from the vast usage of chakra.
After a few moments Gaara continued "He's a stubborn person but this is the end.He won't come back out."
Suddenly Kimimaru emerged out of a bone spike while forming the same drill he used against Gaara earlier and charged at them "It's not brainwashing, it's all my own reasoning.WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW !!"
Gaara and Lee was too shocked to do anything and they braced for the attack but it never came.They opened their eys to see blood dripping from Kimimaru as he hang in the air "I'm Dying..."
That was the end of the Kaguya Clan.
----------------------------
Ranma found the two resting under the tree a few minutes later followed by Kankuro,Temari,Haku and the rest of the Leaf Team including Kiba,Shikamaru and a slightly bandaged Neji and a thin Choji.
They gave the two a soldier pill each and headed towards Naruto's trail.
----------------------------
(A/N:From here onwards it is my version of the fic and it will be AU.Hope you guys don't mind me.)
Max found Naruto battling with Sasuke in his level one curse seal.Naruto created twenty shadow clones and charged at Sasuke who snorted in amusement " You always use the same lousy jutsu dobe.Katon: Housenka no Jutsu !!' he formed a handseal and started o spin as his fire balls destroyed every Naruto clone except one who's clothes were on fire.
"Damn you Sasuke !! Did yo know how much trouble you did when you ran away? Sakura was heart broken and she loved you !!"
"Huh, annoying girl...wonder what she is doing now. Probably thinking about how weak she is."
"Fuck you Uchiha Sasuke !! Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!!" shouted the enraged blond Genin and he created about a hundred shadow clones despite that he just made a few hundred while facing Kimimaru.
Max stopped not far from the fight as he waited for the two to continue. He has no intention to interfere this fight as he knew that only Naruto could snap the Uchiha out of this state.He will have to face the fact that getting power the easy way is not the way of a true ninja.
Sasuke smirked at the massive amount of clones his team mate created and growled while making another handseal.Naruto didn't give Sasuke the chance to finish his jutsu as the made ten clones to kick Sasuke from underneath, sending him high in the air.He intended to do his Naruto rendan !
Sasuke grunted as he received ten powerful kicks enough to knock any Genin off to La-La land.He braced himself for a kick above him and blocked the axe drop kick by three Naruto's.Then two came from his left and right to punch him in the ribs.Naruto was stunned that Sasuke took all his attacks and was still conscious. Then Sasuke started to feel his body change as he grew in power...he activated his second level of the cursed seal.Horns came out from his fore head and shoulders,his skin turned into a leathery hide as his body started to gain more muscles and a pair of bat like wings came out from his back ripping his clothes appart.He then found out that his Sharingan have three wheels in them and smirked as he saw three more Naruto's coming his way.He used his wings and flew to the side to avoid them.He turned to find two Naruto with a Rasengan in their hands charging at him.He dashed at them and was surprised at the speed he could fly and planted a fist in their guts and watch the Rasengan disappear along with their user.He glared at the ones still under him and laughed a maniacal laugh and blew a huge ball of fire to the Narutos under him, burning the whole lot and marveled at the power he has under his control.
"See this Naruto? This is the power Orochimaru gave me !! I can never be this strong if I stayed with the weak Leaf Village!! My brother will die under my hands !!" shouted Sasuke at the Narutos that survived his attack.He didn't even need to make a handseal to create that fire ball.
"Don't be too sure....brother." came a voice that startled the Cursed Uchiha.
Max was surprised as well when he didn't detect his former sensei and smirked as he saw Kisame waving at him."Long time no see Kisame sensei,Itachi sensei."
Kisame nodded "Looks like you're a Chunin.I swear that you could be Jounin in your current strength though."
"It's a long story."
(A/N : Should I stop here? Nah...you guys would probably kill me.)
----------------------------
Ranma and company finally arrived at the scene and was shocked to find Max and a battered Naruto staring at a figure flying in the air.They were more stunned when they saw Itachi and Kisame.Ranma and Haku ran up to greet their former senseis and asked about the figure in the air.
"That's Sasuke in his second level curse form I guess." said Max.
"Whoa !! He looks like Saffron...only a lot weirder and I sensed a dark energy from him." said Ranma remembering the fight with the Phoenix God from his past life,there were some thing that he will not forget and it was his past battles against all his former enemies.
"He looks scary." said Haku from behind him.
The Sand Nins and Leaf Nins followed them and stared at the two cloaked figures beside Max and his brothers.Shikamaru decided to break the silence "Who are these two?"
Sasuke charged at the group before Max could even reply."IIIIITTTAACCCHHHIIII!!!" Sasuke was dashing in a very fast speed with a chidori in his hand, all he could see was red and the image of his clan's murderer.
Gaara created a Sand Shield and everybody leaped back as the sand shield was destroyed by the Chidori.Itachi stood proudly on a tree branch and stared at his brother "You have made a fool of yourself Sasuke,I didn't think that you could stay this low."then he activated his Sharingan.
Sasuke glared at his brother in hatred as he too activated his newly developed Sharingan "I have the Sharingan too Itachi.Today is the day you Die for killing my clan !!"
Itachi didn't move a muscle as he continued "You think that you can kill me with this curse seal given to you by that stupid snake? Let me tell you this brother,you are a fool for believing Orochimaru gave you this for free.Everything comes in a price and this price is your body."
Sasuke didn't say anything for a few seconds but then he chuckled,the chuckle became an insane laughter as he return his stare at his brother "Orochimaru gave me this because he wants me as his student.You just say this because you are scared of me Itachi.YOU SHALL DIE TODAY !!! CHIDORI !!"
Sasuke suddenly appeared in front of his brother and planted his full charged jutsu in his brother's heart.Itachi's eyes went wide at the sudden attack as he coughed up blood and fell down from the tree.He was bathed in his own pool of blood while his brother licked his remains from his hands.
"HAAHAHAHAHHA I have made my revenge!! Itachi,you really disappointed me with your weak performance !!" then he was hit from he back by a ki blast from Haku.
"YOU !! HOW DARE YOU KILL YOUR OWN BROTHER!!" screamed the normally calm Mist Nin.
"What the hell do you know about it?" replied Sasuke as he recovered from the ki blast.
#He didn't even seem to care about the hit.This is bad.# thought Max as he made his hand seal.
"All of you shall die for being here." screamed Sasuke and prepared to make a large fire ball but he was slammed from three sides by a water shark,two water dragons and a water Hammer from above.
Sasuke was sent bodily to the waterfall and the last thing he saw was his brother completing his handseal and gave out a sigh "Mengkyo Sharingan." then everything turned black as he was found being hovered in the air on a cross.
--------------------
Menge world...
"HAH, The Menge Sharingan is useless against me.Did you forget brother? I have the third wheel now." spat Sasuke.
"True but you don't know how to use it like me. For 72 hours you will be stabbed by my kunai...What !!??" Itachi was shocked to find Sasuke break lose from the cross and gave him a hard punch in his gut.
"Heh,I'm a genius remember?" replied a smirking Sasuke as he watched his brother gasping for breath.
"What's wrong Itachi.Can't get used to the pain? I had copied your technique this time....MENGKYO SHARINGAN !!"
A cross soon held Itachi similar to Sasuke's but this one was filled with spikes and a vine was tied to his wrist to prevent him from escaping.
Sasuke appeared behind his brother and said in a mocking voice "Did you know how long I have waited for this moment? From now onwards you will be BURNED by my flames and the vines on your wrists will continue to tighten until I see fit.Enjoy....brother..." he said the last part with sarcasm and hate.The whole dimension was filled with the screams of Itachi and the insane laughter of his brother.
--------------------
Max saw what Itachi did and was surprised when he saw Itachi fainted suddenly and he dashed towards his former sensei.Ranma also noticed this and then he saw Sasuke turned around in mid air and charged at Itachi's fallen form with a newly formed Chidori.The Chidori was a dark smoky shape instead of the bright blue and lightning effect.Ranma inhaled and screamed out his lungs and sent a huge ki blast at the charging Uchiha.
Sasuke was surprised by the attack and cursed his carelessness. The attack did hurt but it wasn't fatal, he continued but then another shout gets his attention.
"SASUKE YOU BASTARD !! COME BACK WITH ME !!" Screamed the combined voices of another hundred Narutos from above and they were filled with Kyubi's chakra along with a rasengan in each hands.
Sasuke was shocked for the first time since he had been in his second level.He return the attack by giving out a huge fire ball but the number of Narutos were too much and they continued to fall one after another. He was hit by a Rasengan on the shoulder by a falling Naruto clone and then another clone gave a kunai to his left.Max and Haku was shocked at the amount of clones naruto could create but focused on Itachi's wound.
Haku couldn't find any wound on Itachi but he could be seen shivering and panting as he suddenly opened his eyes.Max inserted some Ki in him to stabilize Itachi.
Haku was worried and asked, "What happened? How do you feel? Itachi sensei?"
"Hot...need Ice...quick..." was all he could say and he fainted again.
Haku made a handseal and made a bed of Ice to put Itachi on it.Then Kisame arrived with the rest of the Genin/Chunins.Temari asked Max about who is these two Shinobis and why did Sasuke turned into a monster.Max explained while Haku threw his senbons at Sasuke.
"DAMN !! QUIT IT YOU DOBE!!" shouted Sasuke as he recieved another rasengan at his back.Although he had the sharingan but he couldn't see like Neji.The fact that he used the Mengkyo Sharingan used up most of his chakra.Sasuke did the only thing he could think of and flew away from the group of Narutos.
Ranma saw this an released a Ki blast at Sasuke but he missed by an inch.Gaara and Lee also gave off their version of the Mouko Takabisha but Sasuke shrugged them off like it was nothing but in truth he was hurt, he didn't show his pain in his face since he was too prideful.Neji was surprised to see Lee use a technique he never seen before.
Sasuke was almost at the end of the Water Fall when suddenly he was covered by a huge shadow.He looked up to see a giant Toad falling down from above.
"Shit." was all Sasuke could say as the toad slammed onto his body and went under the water by the force of the element called gravity.
Gamabunta was surprised when Naruto summoned him suddenly and he found that he was falling from the famous Hokage waterfall.
"Hey brat!! What did you want from me again?" grumbled the huge boss toad.
"Sorry Boss.This is an emergency. I can't hold on much longer too." replied Naruto on Gamabunta's head.True enough the huge toad disappeared a few seconds later and Naruto came falling in the water.Max and the teams followed him and saw Naruto carrying a passed out Sasuke on his shoulder out of the raging waters.Kisame made his jutsu and stopped the waters from swallowing him up while Temari and Kankuro helped him up shore.
"Heh,you're a prick you know that Sasuke?" then he spotted Kisame and glared at him "It's you!! What's the shark face doing here?"
"Calm down you brat.I'm not gonna kill you. I'll do that when Itachi wakes up." he added.
Then Naruto shrugged and handed Sasuke's body to Kiba and Neji.
The Teams were about to return with Sasuke but they were forced to swear never to reveal what they saw Itachi or Kisame today.Kisame said thathe will meet up the Team Mist in the Sand Country a month after this then Kisame took Itachi's body away via teleportation.
--------------------------------
The teams arrived at Konoha gate and were surprised to see Hinata, Sakura, TenTen and Ino waiting for the teams to return.
The medic nins arrived and took Sasuke,Neji and Kiba to the hospital ward while Naruto said he was alright.Hinata saw Neji and he gave her a nod then he followed the medic nins away.Hinata walked up to Naruto.
"N..Naruto-kun.Are you all...alright?"
"HUH? Hi Hinata-chan!! Sure I'm all right. Sasuke was a tough guy but I did kick his ass." said Naruto loudly while Hinata blushed at the 'chan' Naruto added to her name. No one had ever said that to her and now her crush was referring her as a friend.
Ino hugged Shikamaru but soon bashed his head at coming too late,making her and Sakura worried. Speaking of the pink haired girl.Naruto turned to her and said "Sakura-chan !! I made my promise and got you Sasuke back." and he made a 'nice man' pose along with Lee.Sakura smiled sadly at her teammate and a tear fell from her face.Naruto was puzzled and asked her "What's wrong Sakura-chan?"
Sakura buried her head in his chest and cried her heart out.The scent of Naruto was filled with sweat and a little bit of ramen.The hot body heat and the hard breathing made her feel...safe.Naruto was puzzled as hell and he waved his hands around like an idiot while calling out Sakura's name.
"S..Sakura-chan !!! What are you doing ??"
Hinata bowed her head at the scene sadly.How much she wished she was the one doing that to him.
"I..I'm sorry for all the things I did to you all these years Naruto-kun." cried Sakura.
"Tha...that's ok Sakura-chan.But you'd better go check on Sasuke since I kinda flattened him." everyone chuckled, oh how true was that.
Sakura brought up her head and stared starry eyed at the Blond haired Genin and smiled "No...I should check on him latter. I want your forgiveness first."
Naruto shook his head at that "Nah,you don't hafta do that.I know you love him since the day I begin school.Heck every girl in class loved him.I'll stay out of your way now." then he turn his head at Hinata "Hey Hinata-chan.Do you still have that bottle of medicine you gave me at the preliminaries? I'm kinda hurt here."
Hinata was surprised that Naruto still remembered that and nodded slowly then she smiled at him.
Everyone was shocked when Naruto said that,well all the Leaf genins though.Naruto's crush with Sakura was no news but his attention to Hinata was news to them.Max smirked at that and broke the awkward silence "So let's go to the Hokage first then and report our mission."
They did just that.
----------------------------
The Hokage was talking to a blond haired women when he was informed about the Teams coming back.He called them in and introduced them to the woman,Tsunande.
Tsunande was to be the next Hokage and Naruto seems to know her along with Shikamaru.Ranma was puzzled that a girl could be a Kage rank Ninja but he could feel the power radiating from the woman.
They received the letter from their village that they were asked to remain in the Leaf for two months until they could return and that they are to be part of the Leaf for next two months. Needless to say that the two teams were shocked at this but they could comply since they are in familiar grounds with friends and allies.
Tsunande noticed the look on Ranma's face and smirked "Well...aren't you a nice looking fella.Are you unhappy to live here?"
Ranma gulped at the look Tsunande was giving him that reminds him about Shampoo and Kodachi.The fact that her breast was bigger than his former fiancées didn't help either.
"Um...no.I'm glad to be staying here.It's just that I didn't think a girl could be a Kage level Ninja."
Max slapped his hands on his face. Feet meet Ranma's mouth, Ranma meet death glare.
Tsunande replied in a cool tone "So you think that a girl can't rule a Village is that it?"
"Yeah.I admit that girls aren't weak," he look at Temari and remembered how he was almost sliced to paper shreds but then he remembered that he won that fight at last by a huge Ki blast then he continued "The thing is that I won every fight against a girl.The one I fought just now was a girl and boy was she weak.Using cheap summons and all that..." Max and Haku covered his mouth before they were kicked out of the office but it seems that it was too late.They could sense the increase of Ki on Tsunande and felt the room temperature going way down.
"So...you are saying that I'm weak?" Tsunande was trying her best not to bash in Ranma's head.Hokage and the Jiraiya hurriedly waved their hands and hide themselves under the table.The rest of the Genins also stepped back from the cold gaze Tsunande had on Ranma.Even Gaara was a bit scared at this....a little though.
Ranma broke loose from the hands and continued oblivious from the glare "Not that you are weak.It's just that I think a girl isn't suppose to rule.It's not in their ability." Max and Haku both sweat dropped and ran away #You're on your own bro.#
"Why don't we have a small spar outside and see how great you are then?" said Tsunande as she tried not to burst out cursing.
Ranma grinned and he jump out the window while shouting out loud "Don't be too long though!!"
Tsunande teleported outside. Everyone breathed out a sigh of relief, who knows what could happen if those two go all out in the office.They saw what Ranma could do and Naruto saw the power Tsunande had.Then everyone went outside to see the match between Ranma and the future Hokage.
"Listen kid,it's not late to back out now." warned Tsunande.
Ranma smirked "Nah, Ranma Saotome never backed out on a challenge and....I never lose."
Tsunande shrugged her shoulders "Well...it's been nice knowing you. You can use any jutsu you like as long as one of us gives up or is knocked out.Any questions?"
Ranma shook his head and made a Standard Anything Goes Stance.
The Slug Senin was puzzled by the strange stance and was amazed at the calmness she sensed in Ranma.#This is going to be interesting.#
Ranma didn't wait for her to attack as he dashed in with his enhanced speed and gave out his Chestnut Fists at Tsunande.The former student of the Third Hokage was shocked at the speed Ranma was using and took the attacks heads on then she leaped away then she pointed her finger on the ground. Ranma chased her but was shocked when the ground gave way under him.Tsunande used the same trick she did against Naruto but then Ranma gave out a ki blast at her instead. The senin blocked the incoming blast and was still standing.
Ranma landed a few feet away from her and was amazed at the fact that Tsunande was still standing. Even Sasuke in his second cursed form was pushed back but this girl infront of him didn't move a single muscle. Amazing!!
"Well...that was a good trcik you have there Ranma." said Tsunande and she made a handseal.
Ranma smirked "You're not bad yourself ...Hokage-sama." it was true.Although Ranma could also crack the earth with one finger,he did it while pressing the Tenketsu Breaking points on the surface.In Tsunande's case she actually used brute force that even Ryoga could not do.All he knew was that getting hit by her punches would hurt bad.He performed his own seal and cried out "Katon : Gokakyuu No Jutsu !!"
Tsunande finished her handseal but was engulfed by the huge ball of fire heading her way.Everyone was shocked that she let the fire hit her.After the fire ball Ranma was searching for Tsunande since he knew that she could evade that easily. Then he sensed something under him and leaped high to avoid a tree growing out from the same spot he was standing.Tsunande appeared above him and gave him a full punch to his face even though he blocked it.Ranma was sent down to the tree by the force of the punch and the vines wrapped around him preventing him from falling anymore. Then Ranma tried to broke loose but suddenly he felt drousy. He noticed that the leafs on the tree was glowing and they were releasing small tiny pods under them.
Ranma finally realised that he was losing.#Crap..those pods..are making tired...need to release...need to escape from this place..# then he opened his first and second gate and he broke loose from the tree vines and landed roughly on the hard earth bellow.
Tsunande was surprised that Ranma could escape from the vines but relaxed as soon as she heard the snoring sound from Ranma's body.She won and Ranma lost to a girl.
Max and Haku was trying hard to laugh out their heads. Boy was Ranma gonna be pissed when he found out he lost to a girl..um..women....that is old enough to be his mother.
---------------------------
Ranma woke up to see the bright light from the ceiling."Urrghh...what happened?" he found himself in a room and there were blankets on him.He saw his bag near the door and his staff on the table.
Max and Haku came in the room and told him that he lost. Strangely enough Ranma didn't burst out cursing. He just laughed at his idiocity and said that he did a mistake by underestimating Tsunande.
"You mean you're not pissed off?" asked Max.
Ranma shook his head.
"And here I was hopping to see you screaming and challenging Tsunande again." replied Max.
Ranma snorted "Heh,I could beat her anytime soon with my super charged KI blast.I juts underestimated her that's all."
They went to get some dinner with the rest of the Genins in Konoha and talked about their fight with the four gates and about how Naruto was able to do all that jutsu without tiring out.
"I'm the future Hokage.Of course I'm great." was the reply followed by the slurping of a bowl of Miso Ramen.
-----------------------------
Somewhere unknown.....
"WHAT!!! The Whole Squad IS DEAD??? How can this be?" shouted Orochimaru.He killed the messenger and went to find his right hand man,Kabuto.
"Kimimaru is dead and Sasuke was recued by that Kyuubi brat,what the hell happened?"
"Hmm...It says in the reports that the Four Sound Gates were defeated by the Genins and Chunins from the Sand and Mist." replied Kabuto.
Orochimaru remembered the face of Ranma's grin and Max's smirk "Those two..THOSE TWO SHALL PAY!!" screamed the normally calmed Senin.
Kabuto continued "There were also a report that says that Itachi and Kisame from the Akatsuki also helped defeat Sasuke."
Orochimaru was quiet when he heard this.#Is that weasel aware of my actions already?No matter I have plenty of chances to get Sasuke....Hmm..Or I could get another one like him.#
He went to his room and took out a book with numerous names on it and flipped through the book "Uchiha...Uchiha..yes.Here it is.Hmm.....the names of the ones killed are all here except Itachi and Sasuke.I'm sure there were more Uchihas in Konoha...Aha !! Uchiha Heika ,Uchiha Housoku and their clan...Kuroi no Aoru.They are the only few survivors of Uchihas besides Sasuke and Itachi." Then he closed the book and threw it a side "But they are all out of my league."
Kabuto entered his room and asked, "Who is out of your league?"
Orochimaru sighed "The other Uchihas."
Kabuto was surprised "But I thought the only Uchiha's are Itachi and Sasuke-kun."
His master smirked "Heh,that's what everybody in the five great countries think.Only a few people knew about this. Including the Kages and the other Senins.That book is the last copy of the Uchiha family record twenty years ago.It was taken by Itachi when he joined the Akatsuki and I copied it."
Kabuto was quiet and let his master continue.
"Kabuto-kun.Tell me what you know about our world and the five countries."
Kabuto was puzzled but answered him "Our land is formed by numerous Ninja Villages. The five main villages are in the Fire Country, Water Country, Wind Country, Lightning Country and Stone Country. The rest are small ninja Villags like the Sound,no offense of course."
Orochimaru nodded "Tell me what you know about missing nins."
"Missing nins are ninjas that abandoned their own Villages by committing crime or betraying their leaders and Village.They have to run away from Anbus and Hunter nins.Most are Chunin to Jounin level Ninjas.They are more powerful than the normal renegade Ninjas but they are rarely as powerful as the Akatsuki."
Orochimaru snorted "Do you think that the Akatsuki have the most powerful Missing Nins in the land?"
"Aren't they?"
The snake senin shook his head "Unfortunately....no."
Kabuto was shocked,"Do..do you mean that there are stronger Missing Nins? But how is that possible?"
"You have much more to learn Kabuto-kun.Yes they are one of the strongest in the land that we live.But they are merely an average organization compared to the ones in the Land Of Uchini(Land of the Amidst) or some say the Land of the Forsaken."
Kabuto was surprised again "What is this ...Land of the Amidst?"
"It is the paradise of all Missing Nins.The Genins there could tear a Jounin within a few minutes unlike the ones here who relies upon the strength of the Kyubi or that Shukaku kid.No one could enter there if you are not a Missing Nin...no even if you are a missing nin you must be a very good one or else you won't be able to survive a day there. It's a dog eat dog world there. People go in groups and rarely go in person.You will have to be alert every single second.You can't let your guard down even when you make a blink or it's be your last.Chakra amount must be at Jounin level at least or you'll die in a few rounds against the fighters there. It is the safest place for Missing Nins who are running from Hunter nins but I prefer the free feeling of the real world other than that place."
"You mean you been there before?"
Orochimaru nodded "Yes.And you won't see me entering there again.I had enough of those days.The leader of the Akatsuki was from a powerful group but even he was a weak Shinobi compared to his group. He quitted and escaped to the five countries. The ones in his old group didn't want to come out because it's a waste of time.If you can survive in that place, you can have riches beyond your dreams.Jutsus unimaginable and many powerful followers.The thing is that if you even tried to betray your master.....let's just say that you are better off dead than having them catch you."
Kabuto shuddered at that.
Orochimaru snorted " I cursed myself when I entered that day.I found out that even with the Senin title I was one of the weakest in the Akatsuki.Itachi was one of the better members but even he himself wasn't the best there. They could swallow him and spit him out without even batting an eye."
"Then about the other Uchihas..."
"Heh,the other Uchihas are all Missing Nins and are 10 times stronger than Itachi.I wanted the Sharingan from Sasuke to copy their techniques...." then Orochimaru sighed. "Leave me alone Kabuto-kun,I have enough of this and need to think of another plan..."
Kabuto nodded and went out of Orochimaru's room.
---------------------------
Itachi woke up from his coma to the face of his partner and perhaps friend,Kisame.He was covered by Ice and was starting to shiver but his skin told him that he was burning all over.He made his chakra flow through his body and confirmed that it was the effect of the Mengkyo Sharingan of Sasuke.Then he think back about the fight in the Menge Dimension with his brother.Sasuke surprised him and it wasn't an easy task to surprise an Uchiha at his level.
Kisame noticed this and gave him a glass of water, which Itachi drank it all and returned it with a nod.
"So...how are you?"
"I'm better now thanks to this block of Ice.I didn't now you could create Ice blocks." said Itachi.
Kisame shook his head and replied "It's not my jutsu.Haku made it for you when you kept saying that you are hot.Your brother countered your Menge Sharingan eh?"
Itachi didn't answer him as he thought back about the three children that he taught a few years ago.Ah yes..how could anyone forget them? #Max...a Genjutsu and sword user I remember him.I taught him some of my best Genjutsus,I wonder if he had perfected it yet.Then there is Ranma with is chaotic method of fighting hand to hand and high amount of Chakra.Given the right amount of training he could even rival my reserves of Chakra.Haku,the quiet and nicest person I ever met.So pure and so loyal.He have great control over speed and his bloodline limit even though it's a weak one.I could make his mirrors a hundred times tougher though.....#
Itachi turned to Kisame "I will have to pay a visit to the three brothers soon."
Kisame just nodded and leaved the room allowing his friend and partner to rest.
----------------------------
Max asked Naruto if he wanted to train with them. Needless to say Naruto agreed and they set off training in the mountains with Lee, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro and even Neji!!
Ranma and Max showed them the awesome usage of Ki and how to manipulate it.Gaara and his siblings already knew tis and was sent out sparring at the other site near their camp.Neji was the first to master the usage of ki since he could control every chakra hole from his body and release them as he wished. Lee had great amount of Ki with him too and was improving in a fast rate.Naruto was struggling with making ki blasts but Ranma told him that it was useless if he used his second Ki reserves(The Kyubi's Ki)
Max noticed this and took Naruto away while Ranma trained Neji on reflexes.
"Naruto,I know about the Kyubi in you." said Max suddenly.
Naruto winced and stared at Max "How..how did you..."
Max smiled "Don't worry, no one is gonna freak out.Ranma and Haku knew this already and we don't hate you for it."
Then he explained that no matter what Naruto is Naruto and not the Kyubi.Everyone was an idiot if they think that the greatest demon of all acted like a Ramen eating freak.
"Hey."
"Well...that's rude way to put it."
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Let me explain this.Every living thing have their own chakra pattern right?"
Naruto nodded.
"But,everything..I mean every thing be it human,animal or the trees have Ki.There are many different energies in the world and Chakra is one of them.Chakra is a mix between your body energy which is stamina and will power, which is your mental strength. I is based on Soul energy.Then there is Youki which is used by Demons.Reiki is used by higher beings or even humans with high spiritual contact. Some humans use Reiki and some humans can use Youki ..like you.The Red chakra in you is some form of Youki.Then there is Chi,which is internal energy,it's the strength in our body and soul.Did you see the fight I had with Hizashi on the roof?"
Naruto nodded since he was present when Max did the last attack of the Strike Of Thor.
"The Strike of Thor is half based on Ki and half Chi based.The glow you saw was the Chi I inserted in his body.Since he is dead he have no Chi at all.But he have Ki in him to let him use chakra.Chi is the only energy found in living things. It's a fortunate thing that the attack was half ki based.I destroyed all his Chakra and Ki waves in him.Uh..Naruto...do you understand what I am saying?"
Naruto shook his head "I lost it when you say something about Chi.Isn't Chi and Ki the same?"
Max shook his head "No it isn't.It's just different like Chakra and Ki.Chakra must be molded and controlled to perform a technique while Ki used great control over your body and soul.Ki can enhance your body functions if you insert it and used it while fighting but Chakra is used outside your body."
Naruto nodded in understandment "It's like when I climb the trees and walk on water,I have to put chakra on my feet right?"
Max smiled "Yes,now you're getting it.Ki can also be used on water.You can make your body weight as light as a feather or three times heavier,Ranma did that while fighting with Lee.He filled his bracelets with Ki remember?"
"Yeah I remember.But I saw you guys throwing Ki balls around. How is that possible?" asked Naruto.
"The thing is,unlike Chakra,Ki can be used anyway we like.In or Out of our body.It could heal and it could Kill."
Naruto asked again "What about Chi?"
"Chi is different. Chi is something our bodies have to seal some part of us.You now the Heavenly Gates right?It's Chi that made Lee that strong.The things is,given the huge amount of Chi his body could produce the same amount of Ki too.Chi is in short,body energy. Strength and power is two different things.You have the strength but you don't have the power...then it's useless."
Naruto could see question marks all over his head.
Max sighed "It's like this...think of it as..um...you have a large amount of Chakra but you don't have the need to fully use it.You could continuously use your Kage bunshin but they aren't that strong.Take Tsunande for instance, she have Great amount of Chakra and Chi.She have the power and strength to do her attacks. She uses small motion to do big damage. Just simple as that."
Naruto was still puzzled.
"Hmm.... You need power to lift something, but it's the strength that keeps it moving. Without the power to get something moving, you won't have the strength to move it.You have massive stamina and the strength, "
"Oh...."
"Anyway, Lee has so much power that he doesn't really need much strength. His strength is basically huge bursts of power. However, he's got so much power that those constantly bursts of strength get mistaken for chakra when he opened his gates."
------------------------
Ranma was teaching the same thing to Lee and Neji skip the Kyubi part and they seemed to understand and grasp the theory better and quicker than our blond haired friend.
Lee was tuning up his punches and Neji was doing Chakra manipulation. After Naruto joined them they began their meditation period.After a few days Neji could make a soft glowing ki ball hovering on his palm.Then they started the Chestnut Fist Training. That's where the fun part starts...for Max and Ranma though.
Insert Former Song Fic
Song by Phil Collins." Strangers Like Me"
(I just love that song don't you?)
------------------------
The guys did their trainings when they're free from missions and have some day offs .Lee, Neji and Naruto seemed to improve greatly in Ki usage.Lee and Naruto have insane amount of Ki just like Ranma but Naruto still lacked control though.Neji was a genius in Ki manipulation and he combined his Ki knowlage into his Jyuken,making it even deadlier and he could even perform the Hakke in a distance by using his Ki as fuel for his Chakra out put.Kankuro could in put his Ki in Korasu and comand it without his strings and it acted as a summon since it could obey him.
Lee could throw ki balls like it was second nature to him now that he could handle the strain of the first and second gate freely.He tried to spar with Gaara and Gaara's Sand shield can't keep up with him.He could throw Ki balls after Ki balls and he didn't seem to tire at all.Lee is the perfect sparring partner for Neji,Ranma and the others like Naruto or Gaara.
Neji combined his newly found knowledge of Ki in his usual Jyuken style.The Kaiten could be a devastating attack.He started giving out Ki blasts while doing the heavenly spin and he even can do the Hakke in his Kaiten state.
Naruto created a deadly attack.It was an offense and defensive attack combined. He creates many shadows clones and make them gather Ki all around them, then he orders them to give him all the ki to heal him up.He didn't need the Kyubi's Chakra to heal him then.Besides that,the extra ki will form a Ki armor around him thus preventing any Physical or elemental Jutsus to harm him.He could use the gathered to perform this wickedly huge Ki ball that even Ranma would avoid getting hit by it.
Naruto explained why he could do the Kage Bunshin so easily one day and The Kist brothers came up of a new Bunshin, a Ki based Bunshin instead of the Chakra based one.The Bunshin was made of pure Ki and it could withstand any physical attacks since it could regenerate by collecting the ki from all around it.The down side of this is that it could not do any jutsus,but it could perform Ki blasts though.The Ki Bunshins have the same power and strengh of the user and it actually have it's own personality like the user.The only ones who could do this technique was Naruto,Gaara,Ranma,Haku,Max and Neji.
Shino and even Kiba joined them in their training and was also showing great results.Shino could control his bugs more freely without the massive Chakra he have to feed them.He converted the Ki into Chakra and he never grow short on it.His bugs could even gather Ki for him to make Ki blasts.Kiba's endurance and stamina greatly raised on par with Lee and Naruto and the Garouga no longer takes a toll on him and Akamaru once he learned to heal by meditating using the technique Ranma taught him. He filled Ki around the Garouga and it became an invincible drill that could only be blocked by Gaara's supreme shield of Shukaku or Neji's Ultimate Kaiten.
The girls, also training for the future was improving on their techniques as well.TenTen's weapons could go against Temari's first star now.Hinata was tutored by Neji when they were at the Hyuuga mansion and her Byakugan could also see the Tenketsus on Neji's body.Sakura did not have any talent on Ninjutsu but she was great on Genjutsu so Max taught her his favorite Jutsu,the Reversing Jutsu.
Ino learned the wonder of Ki and her Shintenshin Jutsu could travel in a much faster speed.Shikamaru was dragged along with Choji and they also improved...albeit a little bit.His Shadow Bind could be held longer and he don't have any problem with catching a fast opponent since his shadow's speed was increased.Choji's Meat Ball Jutsu was faster and more agile once he added a little Ki around him.
The Jounin instructors were surprised by their progress every time they return from the mountains. They asked about the trainings they did but they swore not to tell anyone else.Jiraiya was curious and tried to sneak of on them once,he was shocked to see Naruto throwing away Rasengans.
#The brat could throw them already? How did he figure it out anyway? Wait...those aren't Rasengans,it's those energy balls that the Mist Ninjas use.I will need to have a atalk to them then.# thought Jiraiya.
After Naruto finished his final Ki ball,Jiraiya jump out of the bushes to greet him.Max and the other teams were shocked when they didn't even detect the Senin approaching.
#Heh,he wasn't called a Senin for nothing I guess.# thought Max.
"Ero-Senin!! Hey you come to teach me new stuff again?" shouted Naruto.
#He still have much energy after throwing that huge ki ball. Amazing.# thought Ranma.
"I have come.....to train you guys." said the Senin and smirked at the others reaction.
"Heh,Ero-Senin I know a technique more powerful than the Rasengan !! Check this out !!" shouted Naruto then he started to gather Ki into his hands.
Jiraiya's eyes widened at the raw power he felt in the small hands of his student.
"Naruto BAKUDAN !!!" Naruto screamed as aimed his palms high in the sky and then a great ball of Ki went soaring through it.Everyone could feel the heat radiating from the attack and was stunned by the fact that Naruto could perform this after making nearly twenty similar blasts a while ago.
Jiraiya composed himself and grinned "Well seems you are that powerful,I guess you and your friends don't wanna learn my other Jutsus then."
"Wait!! Wait !! Um...I ...mean..um...you can still teach me if you like..." said Naruto bleakly.
Jiraiya laughed "Of course I will."
The Senin trained the other genins along with Naruto for the next few weeks until their time in the Leaf was up.Team Sand and Team Mist will have to report back to their respective countries and do their own missions there.However,after Team Mist arrived at their Village they asked permission to go on a one month leave. Strangely enough the Mizukage agreed and gave them their passes to the Hidden Sand.
-----------------------------
Haku went in the cave where Zabuza lived carrying some supplies with him.What surprised them was that he have guests, and they were none other than Itachi and Kisame.
"Hello Kids....I have come here....to train you."
TBC...
-----------------------------
(A/N : BWAHAHAAHAH Naruto can do Ki blasts !!! Neji could throw his Hakke points attack and Gaara can do Ki beams !! Review please.This is not going to be a permanent chap.Maybe it's because I kinda rushed it and I think I mae them too powerful.Tell me if you guys wanna change it.)

"Blah" speech
#Blah# Thoughts
-----------------------
Gaara and Lee was resting under a tree and thinking about their fight a few minutes ago with the powerful Sound Nin, Kimimaru.
Flash Back
After the huge Sand Avalanche Gaara sealed the ground with his chakra to harden the surface. Lee was glad that Gaara was on his side.
"Is he dead?" asked Lee.
"Unfortunately no..." replied Gaara and prepared himself as a strange creature erupted from the ground.It was Kimimaru in his cursed form number two.Gaara did his Desert Coffin Jutsu but Kimimaru pushed himself out of it and continued to charge at the two Ninjas.Gaara quickly summoned a wall of sand to block the incoming Sound nin but Kimimaru was too strong and he broke through the sand wall and slammed onto Gaara sending him a few feet away.Luckily Gaara had his armor of sand on him and he got up from the impact with little cracks on his face and body.He glared at Kimimaru and was shocked at his new form.
Kimimaru said in a mocking voice "Is this the limit of your absolute defense? Of course you have sand covered all over you in the first place...." then Lee dashed beside him and gave a shout "He's not your only opponent !! Have you forgotten about me?" Then he gave a Konoha Sempuu to Kimimaru's head but then his tail came slamming against Lee's face.Luckily Gaara noticed this and his sand protected Lee from the strike.
"This sand of yours is starting to annoy me...You will die first Gaara." said Kimimaru.Suddenly he took out his spine from his back and made a cross stance saying his technique "Tessenka No Mai (Dance Of The Clematis)"
Lee was shocked at this as he saw the usage of bones could be a weapon in the hands of Kimimaru #He used his spinal cord as a weapon?#
Kimimaru dashed at Gaara and wrapped his spinal cord around Gaara as the sand protected him from the spiky pile of bones.Kimimaru then covered his left hand with bones and formed some kind of drill."This is the strongest and hardest bone in my body.It will pierce through you and your pathetic sand."
Gaara remained calm as he made his counter jutsu "Saikou Zettai Bougyo Shukaku No Tate (Supreme Absolute Defense, Shield Of Shukaku.) the sand morphed into a fat Racoon with a straw hat between Gaara and Kimimaru.
Kimimaru ignored this and thrusted his drill into the Sand Raccoon.
The bone surrounding Kimimaru's hand cracked and was destroyed by the impact.
"It is solid ...indeed." said the Sound Nin.
"From the ground I collected hard minerals and compressed them with my chakra.Your ability...is a bloodline limit am I right?" asked Gaara.
"Yes...I'm from the Kaguya clan but now it's my ability alone."
"Then you are the last one...Your clan will die today."
"Heh,maybe because of my body's illness I cannot stay for long..."
"Then you will lose now." said Gaara as he made a handseal.He gathered the sand around Kimimaru and formed a pond of Quick sand to suck Kimimaru down the earth.
"This opponent..." cursed Kimimaru as the sand was near his chin."
"You'll sink to the depth of 200 meters underground and be held there.With the pressure of the sand clinging to your body,you will immediately be unable to move even a finger."
Lee slumped down to his knees and asked Gaara "It's finished...It's over isn't it?"
Suddenly they heard a voice coming from the quick sand "Sawarabi No MAE !! (Dance Of The Seedling Ferns)"
The ground was filled with sharp bones coming out of them heading towards Gaara and Lee (Think about the sunken colony in Star Craft)
Gaara quickly used his sand to carry him and Lee away and hovered above the sharp pile of bones."You..you saved me.It's amazing that you could do something like this." said Lee.
"It's nothing...I was always able to use sand to carry me.It's a simple task." replied Gaara slightly panting from the vast usage of chakra.
After a few moments Gaara continued "He's a stubborn person but this is the end.He won't come back out."
Suddenly Kimimaru emerged out of a bone spike while forming the same drill he used against Gaara earlier and charged at them "It's not brainwashing, it's all my own reasoning.WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW !!"
Gaara and Lee was too shocked to do anything and they braced for the attack but it never came.They opened their eys to see blood dripping from Kimimaru as he hang in the air "I'm Dying..."
That was the end of the Kaguya Clan.
----------------------------
Ranma found the two resting under the tree a few minutes later followed by Kankuro,Temari,Haku and the rest of the Leaf Team including Kiba,Shikamaru and a slightly bandaged Neji and a thin Choji.
They gave the two a soldier pill each and headed towards Naruto's trail.
----------------------------
(A/N:From here onwards it is my version of the fic and it will be AU.Hope you guys don't mind me.)
Max found Naruto battling with Sasuke in his level one curse seal.Naruto created twenty shadow clones and charged at Sasuke who snorted in amusement " You always use the same lousy jutsu dobe.Katon: Housenka no Jutsu !!' he formed a handseal and started o spin as his fire balls destroyed every Naruto clone except one who's clothes were on fire.
"Damn you Sasuke !! Did yo know how much trouble you did when you ran away? Sakura was heart broken and she loved you !!"
"Huh, annoying girl...wonder what she is doing now. Probably thinking about how weak she is."
"Fuck you Uchiha Sasuke !! Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!!" shouted the enraged blond Genin and he created about a hundred shadow clones despite that he just made a few hundred while facing Kimimaru.
Max stopped not far from the fight as he waited for the two to continue. He has no intention to interfere this fight as he knew that only Naruto could snap the Uchiha out of this state.He will have to face the fact that getting power the easy way is not the way of a true ninja.
Sasuke smirked at the massive amount of clones his team mate created and growled while making another handseal.Naruto didn't give Sasuke the chance to finish his jutsu as the made ten clones to kick Sasuke from underneath, sending him high in the air.He intended to do his Naruto rendan !
Sasuke grunted as he received ten powerful kicks enough to knock any Genin off to La-La land.He braced himself for a kick above him and blocked the axe drop kick by three Naruto's.Then two came from his left and right to punch him in the ribs.Naruto was stunned that Sasuke took all his attacks and was still conscious. Then Sasuke started to feel his body change as he grew in power...he activated his second level of the cursed seal.Horns came out from his fore head and shoulders,his skin turned into a leathery hide as his body started to gain more muscles and a pair of bat like wings came out from his back ripping his clothes appart.He then found out that his Sharingan have three wheels in them and smirked as he saw three more Naruto's coming his way.He used his wings and flew to the side to avoid them.He turned to find two Naruto with a Rasengan in their hands charging at him.He dashed at them and was surprised at the speed he could fly and planted a fist in their guts and watch the Rasengan disappear along with their user.He glared at the ones still under him and laughed a maniacal laugh and blew a huge ball of fire to the Narutos under him, burning the whole lot and marveled at the power he has under his control.
"See this Naruto? This is the power Orochimaru gave me !! I can never be this strong if I stayed with the weak Leaf Village!! My brother will die under my hands !!" shouted Sasuke at the Narutos that survived his attack.He didn't even need to make a handseal to create that fire ball.
"Don't be too sure....brother." came a voice that startled the Cursed Uchiha.
Max was surprised as well when he didn't detect his former sensei and smirked as he saw Kisame waving at him."Long time no see Kisame sensei,Itachi sensei."
Kisame nodded "Looks like you're a Chunin.I swear that you could be Jounin in your current strength though."
"It's a long story."
(A/N : Should I stop here? Nah...you guys would probably kill me.)
----------------------------
Ranma and company finally arrived at the scene and was shocked to find Max and a battered Naruto staring at a figure flying in the air.They were more stunned when they saw Itachi and Kisame.Ranma and Haku ran up to greet their former senseis and asked about the figure in the air.
"That's Sasuke in his second level curse form I guess." said Max.
"Whoa !! He looks like Saffron...only a lot weirder and I sensed a dark energy from him." said Ranma remembering the fight with the Phoenix God from his past life,there were some thing that he will not forget and it was his past battles against all his former enemies.
"He looks scary." said Haku from behind him.
The Sand Nins and Leaf Nins followed them and stared at the two cloaked figures beside Max and his brothers.Shikamaru decided to break the silence "Who are these two?"
Sasuke charged at the group before Max could even reply."IIIIITTTAACCCHHHIIII!!!" Sasuke was dashing in a very fast speed with a chidori in his hand, all he could see was red and the image of his clan's murderer.
Gaara created a Sand Shield and everybody leaped back as the sand shield was destroyed by the Chidori.Itachi stood proudly on a tree branch and stared at his brother "You have made a fool of yourself Sasuke,I didn't think that you could stay this low."then he activated his Sharingan.
Sasuke glared at his brother in hatred as he too activated his newly developed Sharingan "I have the Sharingan too Itachi.Today is the day you Die for killing my clan !!"
Itachi didn't move a muscle as he continued "You think that you can kill me with this curse seal given to you by that stupid snake? Let me tell you this brother,you are a fool for believing Orochimaru gave you this for free.Everything comes in a price and this price is your body."
Sasuke didn't say anything for a few seconds but then he chuckled,the chuckle became an insane laughter as he return his stare at his brother "Orochimaru gave me this because he wants me as his student.You just say this because you are scared of me Itachi.YOU SHALL DIE TODAY !!! CHIDORI !!"
Sasuke suddenly appeared in front of his brother and planted his full charged jutsu in his brother's heart.Itachi's eyes went wide at the sudden attack as he coughed up blood and fell down from the tree.He was bathed in his own pool of blood while his brother licked his remains from his hands.
"HAAHAHAHAHHA I have made my revenge!! Itachi,you really disappointed me with your weak performance !!" then he was hit from he back by a ki blast from Haku.
"YOU !! HOW DARE YOU KILL YOUR OWN BROTHER!!" screamed the normally calm Mist Nin.
"What the hell do you know about it?" replied Sasuke as he recovered from the ki blast.
#He didn't even seem to care about the hit.This is bad.# thought Max as he made his hand seal.
"All of you shall die for being here." screamed Sasuke and prepared to make a large fire ball but he was slammed from three sides by a water shark,two water dragons and a water Hammer from above.
Sasuke was sent bodily to the waterfall and the last thing he saw was his brother completing his handseal and gave out a sigh "Mengkyo Sharingan." then everything turned black as he was found being hovered in the air on a cross.
--------------------
Menge world...
"HAH, The Menge Sharingan is useless against me.Did you forget brother? I have the third wheel now." spat Sasuke.
"True but you don't know how to use it like me. For 72 hours you will be stabbed by my kunai...What !!??" Itachi was shocked to find Sasuke break lose from the cross and gave him a hard punch in his gut.
"Heh,I'm a genius remember?" replied a smirking Sasuke as he watched his brother gasping for breath.
"What's wrong Itachi.Can't get used to the pain? I had copied your technique this time....MENGKYO SHARINGAN !!"
A cross soon held Itachi similar to Sasuke's but this one was filled with spikes and a vine was tied to his wrist to prevent him from escaping.
Sasuke appeared behind his brother and said in a mocking voice "Did you know how long I have waited for this moment? From now onwards you will be BURNED by my flames and the vines on your wrists will continue to tighten until I see fit.Enjoy....brother..." he said the last part with sarcasm and hate.The whole dimension was filled with the screams of Itachi and the insane laughter of his brother.
--------------------
Max saw what Itachi did and was surprised when he saw Itachi fainted suddenly and he dashed towards his former sensei.Ranma also noticed this and then he saw Sasuke turned around in mid air and charged at Itachi's fallen form with a newly formed Chidori.The Chidori was a dark smoky shape instead of the bright blue and lightning effect.Ranma inhaled and screamed out his lungs and sent a huge ki blast at the charging Uchiha.
Sasuke was surprised by the attack and cursed his carelessness. The attack did hurt but it wasn't fatal, he continued but then another shout gets his attention.
"SASUKE YOU BASTARD !! COME BACK WITH ME !!" Screamed the combined voices of another hundred Narutos from above and they were filled with Kyubi's chakra along with a rasengan in each hands.
Sasuke was shocked for the first time since he had been in his second level.He return the attack by giving out a huge fire ball but the number of Narutos were too much and they continued to fall one after another. He was hit by a Rasengan on the shoulder by a falling Naruto clone and then another clone gave a kunai to his left.Max and Haku was shocked at the amount of clones naruto could create but focused on Itachi's wound.
Haku couldn't find any wound on Itachi but he could be seen shivering and panting as he suddenly opened his eyes.Max inserted some Ki in him to stabilize Itachi.
Haku was worried and asked, "What happened? How do you feel? Itachi sensei?"
"Hot...need Ice...quick..." was all he could say and he fainted again.
Haku made a handseal and made a bed of Ice to put Itachi on it.Then Kisame arrived with the rest of the Genin/Chunins.Temari asked Max about who is these two Shinobis and why did Sasuke turned into a monster.Max explained while Haku threw his senbons at Sasuke.
"DAMN !! QUIT IT YOU DOBE!!" shouted Sasuke as he recieved another rasengan at his back.Although he had the sharingan but he couldn't see like Neji.The fact that he used the Mengkyo Sharingan used up most of his chakra.Sasuke did the only thing he could think of and flew away from the group of Narutos.
Ranma saw this an released a Ki blast at Sasuke but he missed by an inch.Gaara and Lee also gave off their version of the Mouko Takabisha but Sasuke shrugged them off like it was nothing but in truth he was hurt, he didn't show his pain in his face since he was too prideful.Neji was surprised to see Lee use a technique he never seen before.
Sasuke was almost at the end of the Water Fall when suddenly he was covered by a huge shadow.He looked up to see a giant Toad falling down from above.
"Shit." was all Sasuke could say as the toad slammed onto his body and went under the water by the force of the element called gravity.
Gamabunta was surprised when Naruto summoned him suddenly and he found that he was falling from the famous Hokage waterfall.
"Hey brat!! What did you want from me again?" grumbled the huge boss toad.
"Sorry Boss.This is an emergency. I can't hold on much longer too." replied Naruto on Gamabunta's head.True enough the huge toad disappeared a few seconds later and Naruto came falling in the water.Max and the teams followed him and saw Naruto carrying a passed out Sasuke on his shoulder out of the raging waters.Kisame made his jutsu and stopped the waters from swallowing him up while Temari and Kankuro helped him up shore.
"Heh,you're a prick you know that Sasuke?" then he spotted Kisame and glared at him "It's you!! What's the shark face doing here?"
"Calm down you brat.I'm not gonna kill you. I'll do that when Itachi wakes up." he added.
Then Naruto shrugged and handed Sasuke's body to Kiba and Neji.
The Teams were about to return with Sasuke but they were forced to swear never to reveal what they saw Itachi or Kisame today.Kisame said thathe will meet up the Team Mist in the Sand Country a month after this then Kisame took Itachi's body away via teleportation.
--------------------------------
The teams arrived at Konoha gate and were surprised to see Hinata, Sakura, TenTen and Ino waiting for the teams to return.
The medic nins arrived and took Sasuke,Neji and Kiba to the hospital ward while Naruto said he was alright.Hinata saw Neji and he gave her a nod then he followed the medic nins away.Hinata walked up to Naruto.
"N..Naruto-kun.Are you all...alright?"
"HUH? Hi Hinata-chan!! Sure I'm all right. Sasuke was a tough guy but I did kick his ass." said Naruto loudly while Hinata blushed at the 'chan' Naruto added to her name. No one had ever said that to her and now her crush was referring her as a friend.
Ino hugged Shikamaru but soon bashed his head at coming too late,making her and Sakura worried. Speaking of the pink haired girl.Naruto turned to her and said "Sakura-chan !! I made my promise and got you Sasuke back." and he made a 'nice man' pose along with Lee.Sakura smiled sadly at her teammate and a tear fell from her face.Naruto was puzzled and asked her "What's wrong Sakura-chan?"
Sakura buried her head in his chest and cried her heart out.The scent of Naruto was filled with sweat and a little bit of ramen.The hot body heat and the hard breathing made her feel...safe.Naruto was puzzled as hell and he waved his hands around like an idiot while calling out Sakura's name.
"S..Sakura-chan !!! What are you doing ??"
Hinata bowed her head at the scene sadly.How much she wished she was the one doing that to him.
"I..I'm sorry for all the things I did to you all these years Naruto-kun." cried Sakura.
"Tha...that's ok Sakura-chan.But you'd better go check on Sasuke since I kinda flattened him." everyone chuckled, oh how true was that.
Sakura brought up her head and stared starry eyed at the Blond haired Genin and smiled "No...I should check on him latter. I want your forgiveness first."
Naruto shook his head at that "Nah,you don't hafta do that.I know you love him since the day I begin school.Heck every girl in class loved him.I'll stay out of your way now." then he turn his head at Hinata "Hey Hinata-chan.Do you still have that bottle of medicine you gave me at the preliminaries? I'm kinda hurt here."
Hinata was surprised that Naruto still remembered that and nodded slowly then she smiled at him.
Everyone was shocked when Naruto said that,well all the Leaf genins though.Naruto's crush with Sakura was no news but his attention to Hinata was news to them.Max smirked at that and broke the awkward silence "So let's go to the Hokage first then and report our mission."
They did just that.
----------------------------
The Hokage was talking to a blond haired women when he was informed about the Teams coming back.He called them in and introduced them to the woman,Tsunande.
Tsunande was to be the next Hokage and Naruto seems to know her along with Shikamaru.Ranma was puzzled that a girl could be a Kage rank Ninja but he could feel the power radiating from the woman.
They received the letter from their village that they were asked to remain in the Leaf for two months until they could return and that they are to be part of the Leaf for next two months. Needless to say that the two teams were shocked at this but they could comply since they are in familiar grounds with friends and allies.
Tsunande noticed the look on Ranma's face and smirked "Well...aren't you a nice looking fella.Are you unhappy to live here?"
Ranma gulped at the look Tsunande was giving him that reminds him about Shampoo and Kodachi.The fact that her breast was bigger than his former fiancées didn't help either.
"Um...no.I'm glad to be staying here.It's just that I didn't think a girl could be a Kage level Ninja."
Max slapped his hands on his face. Feet meet Ranma's mouth, Ranma meet death glare.
Tsunande replied in a cool tone "So you think that a girl can't rule a Village is that it?"
"Yeah.I admit that girls aren't weak," he look at Temari and remembered how he was almost sliced to paper shreds but then he remembered that he won that fight at last by a huge Ki blast then he continued "The thing is that I won every fight against a girl.The one I fought just now was a girl and boy was she weak.Using cheap summons and all that..." Max and Haku covered his mouth before they were kicked out of the office but it seems that it was too late.They could sense the increase of Ki on Tsunande and felt the room temperature going way down.
"So...you are saying that I'm weak?" Tsunande was trying her best not to bash in Ranma's head.Hokage and the Jiraiya hurriedly waved their hands and hide themselves under the table.The rest of the Genins also stepped back from the cold gaze Tsunande had on Ranma.Even Gaara was a bit scared at this....a little though.
Ranma broke loose from the hands and continued oblivious from the glare "Not that you are weak.It's just that I think a girl isn't suppose to rule.It's not in their ability." Max and Haku both sweat dropped and ran away #You're on your own bro.#
"Why don't we have a small spar outside and see how great you are then?" said Tsunande as she tried not to burst out cursing.
Ranma grinned and he jump out the window while shouting out loud "Don't be too long though!!"
Tsunande teleported outside. Everyone breathed out a sigh of relief, who knows what could happen if those two go all out in the office.They saw what Ranma could do and Naruto saw the power Tsunande had.Then everyone went outside to see the match between Ranma and the future Hokage.
"Listen kid,it's not late to back out now." warned Tsunande.
Ranma smirked "Nah, Ranma Saotome never backed out on a challenge and....I never lose."
Tsunande shrugged her shoulders "Well...it's been nice knowing you. You can use any jutsu you like as long as one of us gives up or is knocked out.Any questions?"
Ranma shook his head and made a Standard Anything Goes Stance.
The Slug Senin was puzzled by the strange stance and was amazed at the calmness she sensed in Ranma.#This is going to be interesting.#
Ranma didn't wait for her to attack as he dashed in with his enhanced speed and gave out his Chestnut Fists at Tsunande.The former student of the Third Hokage was shocked at the speed Ranma was using and took the attacks heads on then she leaped away then she pointed her finger on the ground. Ranma chased her but was shocked when the ground gave way under him.Tsunande used the same trick she did against Naruto but then Ranma gave out a ki blast at her instead. The senin blocked the incoming blast and was still standing.
Ranma landed a few feet away from her and was amazed at the fact that Tsunande was still standing. Even Sasuke in his second cursed form was pushed back but this girl infront of him didn't move a single muscle. Amazing!!
"Well...that was a good trcik you have there Ranma." said Tsunande and she made a handseal.
Ranma smirked "You're not bad yourself ...Hokage-sama." it was true.Although Ranma could also crack the earth with one finger,he did it while pressing the Tenketsu Breaking points on the surface.In Tsunande's case she actually used brute force that even Ryoga could not do.All he knew was that getting hit by her punches would hurt bad.He performed his own seal and cried out "Katon : Gokakyuu No Jutsu !!"
Tsunande finished her handseal but was engulfed by the huge ball of fire heading her way.Everyone was shocked that she let the fire hit her.After the fire ball Ranma was searching for Tsunande since he knew that she could evade that easily. Then he sensed something under him and leaped high to avoid a tree growing out from the same spot he was standing.Tsunande appeared above him and gave him a full punch to his face even though he blocked it.Ranma was sent down to the tree by the force of the punch and the vines wrapped around him preventing him from falling anymore. Then Ranma tried to broke loose but suddenly he felt drousy. He noticed that the leafs on the tree was glowing and they were releasing small tiny pods under them.
Ranma finally realised that he was losing.#Crap..those pods..are making tired...need to release...need to escape from this place..# then he opened his first and second gate and he broke loose from the tree vines and landed roughly on the hard earth bellow.
Tsunande was surprised that Ranma could escape from the vines but relaxed as soon as she heard the snoring sound from Ranma's body.She won and Ranma lost to a girl.
Max and Haku was trying hard to laugh out their heads. Boy was Ranma gonna be pissed when he found out he lost to a girl..um..women....that is old enough to be his mother.
---------------------------
Ranma woke up to see the bright light from the ceiling."Urrghh...what happened?" he found himself in a room and there were blankets on him.He saw his bag near the door and his staff on the table.
Max and Haku came in the room and told him that he lost. Strangely enough Ranma didn't burst out cursing. He just laughed at his idiocity and said that he did a mistake by underestimating Tsunande.
"You mean you're not pissed off?" asked Max.
Ranma shook his head.
"And here I was hopping to see you screaming and challenging Tsunande again." replied Max.
Ranma snorted "Heh,I could beat her anytime soon with my super charged KI blast.I juts underestimated her that's all."
They went to get some dinner with the rest of the Genins in Konoha and talked about their fight with the four gates and about how Naruto was able to do all that jutsu without tiring out.
"I'm the future Hokage.Of course I'm great." was the reply followed by the slurping of a bowl of Miso Ramen.
-----------------------------
Somewhere unknown.....
"WHAT!!! The Whole Squad IS DEAD??? How can this be?" shouted Orochimaru.He killed the messenger and went to find his right hand man,Kabuto.
"Kimimaru is dead and Sasuke was recued by that Kyuubi brat,what the hell happened?"
"Hmm...It says in the reports that the Four Sound Gates were defeated by the Genins and Chunins from the Sand and Mist." replied Kabuto.
Orochimaru remembered the face of Ranma's grin and Max's smirk "Those two..THOSE TWO SHALL PAY!!" screamed the normally calmed Senin.
Kabuto continued "There were also a report that says that Itachi and Kisame from the Akatsuki also helped defeat Sasuke."
Orochimaru was quiet when he heard this.#Is that weasel aware of my actions already?No matter I have plenty of chances to get Sasuke....Hmm..Or I could get another one like him.#
He went to his room and took out a book with numerous names on it and flipped through the book "Uchiha...Uchiha..yes.Here it is.Hmm.....the names of the ones killed are all here except Itachi and Sasuke.I'm sure there were more Uchihas in Konoha...Aha !! Uchiha Heika ,Uchiha Housoku and their clan...Kuroi no Aoru.They are the only few survivors of Uchihas besides Sasuke and Itachi." Then he closed the book and threw it a side "But they are all out of my league."
Kabuto entered his room and asked, "Who is out of your league?"
Orochimaru sighed "The other Uchihas."
Kabuto was surprised "But I thought the only Uchiha's are Itachi and Sasuke-kun."
His master smirked "Heh,that's what everybody in the five great countries think.Only a few people knew about this. Including the Kages and the other Senins.That book is the last copy of the Uchiha family record twenty years ago.It was taken by Itachi when he joined the Akatsuki and I copied it."
Kabuto was quiet and let his master continue.
"Kabuto-kun.Tell me what you know about our world and the five countries."
Kabuto was puzzled but answered him "Our land is formed by numerous Ninja Villages. The five main villages are in the Fire Country, Water Country, Wind Country, Lightning Country and Stone Country. The rest are small ninja Villags like the Sound,no offense of course."
Orochimaru nodded "Tell me what you know about missing nins."
"Missing nins are ninjas that abandoned their own Villages by committing crime or betraying their leaders and Village.They have to run away from Anbus and Hunter nins.Most are Chunin to Jounin level Ninjas.They are more powerful than the normal renegade Ninjas but they are rarely as powerful as the Akatsuki."
Orochimaru snorted "Do you think that the Akatsuki have the most powerful Missing Nins in the land?"
"Aren't they?"
The snake senin shook his head "Unfortunately....no."
Kabuto was shocked,"Do..do you mean that there are stronger Missing Nins? But how is that possible?"
"You have much more to learn Kabuto-kun.Yes they are one of the strongest in the land that we live.But they are merely an average organization compared to the ones in the Land Of Uchini(Land of the Amidst) or some say the Land of the Forsaken."
Kabuto was surprised again "What is this ...Land of the Amidst?"
"It is the paradise of all Missing Nins.The Genins there could tear a Jounin within a few minutes unlike the ones here who relies upon the strength of the Kyubi or that Shukaku kid.No one could enter there if you are not a Missing Nin...no even if you are a missing nin you must be a very good one or else you won't be able to survive a day there. It's a dog eat dog world there. People go in groups and rarely go in person.You will have to be alert every single second.You can't let your guard down even when you make a blink or it's be your last.Chakra amount must be at Jounin level at least or you'll die in a few rounds against the fighters there. It is the safest place for Missing Nins who are running from Hunter nins but I prefer the free feeling of the real world other than that place."
"You mean you been there before?"
Orochimaru nodded "Yes.And you won't see me entering there again.I had enough of those days.The leader of the Akatsuki was from a powerful group but even he was a weak Shinobi compared to his group. He quitted and escaped to the five countries. The ones in his old group didn't want to come out because it's a waste of time.If you can survive in that place, you can have riches beyond your dreams.Jutsus unimaginable and many powerful followers.The thing is that if you even tried to betray your master.....let's just say that you are better off dead than having them catch you."
Kabuto shuddered at that.
Orochimaru snorted " I cursed myself when I entered that day.I found out that even with the Senin title I was one of the weakest in the Akatsuki.Itachi was one of the better members but even he himself wasn't the best there. They could swallow him and spit him out without even batting an eye."
"Then about the other Uchihas..."
"Heh,the other Uchihas are all Missing Nins and are 10 times stronger than Itachi.I wanted the Sharingan from Sasuke to copy their techniques...." then Orochimaru sighed. "Leave me alone Kabuto-kun,I have enough of this and need to think of another plan..."
Kabuto nodded and went out of Orochimaru's room.
---------------------------
Itachi woke up from his coma to the face of his partner and perhaps friend,Kisame.He was covered by Ice and was starting to shiver but his skin told him that he was burning all over.He made his chakra flow through his body and confirmed that it was the effect of the Mengkyo Sharingan of Sasuke.Then he think back about the fight in the Menge Dimension with his brother.Sasuke surprised him and it wasn't an easy task to surprise an Uchiha at his level.
Kisame noticed this and gave him a glass of water, which Itachi drank it all and returned it with a nod.
"So...how are you?"
"I'm better now thanks to this block of Ice.I didn't now you could create Ice blocks." said Itachi.
Kisame shook his head and replied "It's not my jutsu.Haku made it for you when you kept saying that you are hot.Your brother countered your Menge Sharingan eh?"
Itachi didn't answer him as he thought back about the three children that he taught a few years ago.Ah yes..how could anyone forget them? #Max...a Genjutsu and sword user I remember him.I taught him some of my best Genjutsus,I wonder if he had perfected it yet.Then there is Ranma with is chaotic method of fighting hand to hand and high amount of Chakra.Given the right amount of training he could even rival my reserves of Chakra.Haku,the quiet and nicest person I ever met.So pure and so loyal.He have great control over speed and his bloodline limit even though it's a weak one.I could make his mirrors a hundred times tougher though.....#
Itachi turned to Kisame "I will have to pay a visit to the three brothers soon."
Kisame just nodded and leaved the room allowing his friend and partner to rest.
----------------------------
Max asked Naruto if he wanted to train with them. Needless to say Naruto agreed and they set off training in the mountains with Lee, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro and even Neji!!
Ranma and Max showed them the awesome usage of Ki and how to manipulate it.Gaara and his siblings already knew tis and was sent out sparring at the other site near their camp.Neji was the first to master the usage of ki since he could control every chakra hole from his body and release them as he wished. Lee had great amount of Ki with him too and was improving in a fast rate.Naruto was struggling with making ki blasts but Ranma told him that it was useless if he used his second Ki reserves(The Kyubi's Ki)
Max noticed this and took Naruto away while Ranma trained Neji on reflexes.
"Naruto,I know about the Kyubi in you." said Max suddenly.
Naruto winced and stared at Max "How..how did you..."
Max smiled "Don't worry, no one is gonna freak out.Ranma and Haku knew this already and we don't hate you for it."
Then he explained that no matter what Naruto is Naruto and not the Kyubi.Everyone was an idiot if they think that the greatest demon of all acted like a Ramen eating freak.
"Hey."
"Well...that's rude way to put it."
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Let me explain this.Every living thing have their own chakra pattern right?"
Naruto nodded.
"But,everything..I mean every thing be it human,animal or the trees have Ki.There are many different energies in the world and Chakra is one of them.Chakra is a mix between your body energy which is stamina and will power, which is your mental strength. I is based on Soul energy.Then there is Youki which is used by Demons.Reiki is used by higher beings or even humans with high spiritual contact. Some humans use Reiki and some humans can use Youki ..like you.The Red chakra in you is some form of Youki.Then there is Chi,which is internal energy,it's the strength in our body and soul.Did you see the fight I had with Hizashi on the roof?"
Naruto nodded since he was present when Max did the last attack of the Strike Of Thor.
"The Strike of Thor is half based on Ki and half Chi based.The glow you saw was the Chi I inserted in his body.Since he is dead he have no Chi at all.But he have Ki in him to let him use chakra.Chi is the only energy found in living things. It's a fortunate thing that the attack was half ki based.I destroyed all his Chakra and Ki waves in him.Uh..Naruto...do you understand what I am saying?"
Naruto shook his head "I lost it when you say something about Chi.Isn't Chi and Ki the same?"
Max shook his head "No it isn't.It's just different like Chakra and Ki.Chakra must be molded and controlled to perform a technique while Ki used great control over your body and soul.Ki can enhance your body functions if you insert it and used it while fighting but Chakra is used outside your body."
Naruto nodded in understandment "It's like when I climb the trees and walk on water,I have to put chakra on my feet right?"
Max smiled "Yes,now you're getting it.Ki can also be used on water.You can make your body weight as light as a feather or three times heavier,Ranma did that while fighting with Lee.He filled his bracelets with Ki remember?"
"Yeah I remember.But I saw you guys throwing Ki balls around. How is that possible?" asked Naruto.
"The thing is,unlike Chakra,Ki can be used anyway we like.In or Out of our body.It could heal and it could Kill."
Naruto asked again "What about Chi?"
"Chi is different. Chi is something our bodies have to seal some part of us.You now the Heavenly Gates right?It's Chi that made Lee that strong.The things is,given the huge amount of Chi his body could produce the same amount of Ki too.Chi is in short,body energy. Strength and power is two different things.You have the strength but you don't have the power...then it's useless."
Naruto could see question marks all over his head.
Max sighed "It's like this...think of it as..um...you have a large amount of Chakra but you don't have the need to fully use it.You could continuously use your Kage bunshin but they aren't that strong.Take Tsunande for instance, she have Great amount of Chakra and Chi.She have the power and strength to do her attacks. She uses small motion to do big damage. Just simple as that."
Naruto was still puzzled.
"Hmm.... You need power to lift something, but it's the strength that keeps it moving. Without the power to get something moving, you won't have the strength to move it.You have massive stamina and the strength, "
"Oh...."
"Anyway, Lee has so much power that he doesn't really need much strength. His strength is basically huge bursts of power. However, he's got so much power that those constantly bursts of strength get mistaken for chakra when he opened his gates."
------------------------
Ranma was teaching the same thing to Lee and Neji skip the Kyubi part and they seemed to understand and grasp the theory better and quicker than our blond haired friend.
Lee was tuning up his punches and Neji was doing Chakra manipulation. After Naruto joined them they began their meditation period.After a few days Neji could make a soft glowing ki ball hovering on his palm.Then they started the Chestnut Fist Training. That's where the fun part starts...for Max and Ranma though.
Insert Former Song Fic
Song by Phil Collins." Strangers Like Me"
(I just love that song don't you?)
------------------------
The guys did their trainings when they're free from missions and have some day offs .Lee, Neji and Naruto seemed to improve greatly in Ki usage.Lee and Naruto have insane amount of Ki just like Ranma but Naruto still lacked control though.Neji was a genius in Ki manipulation and he combined his Ki knowlage into his Jyuken,making it even deadlier and he could even perform the Hakke in a distance by using his Ki as fuel for his Chakra out put.Kankuro could in put his Ki in Korasu and comand it without his strings and it acted as a summon since it could obey him.
Lee could throw ki balls like it was second nature to him now that he could handle the strain of the first and second gate freely.He tried to spar with Gaara and Gaara's Sand shield can't keep up with him.He could throw Ki balls after Ki balls and he didn't seem to tire at all.Lee is the perfect sparring partner for Neji,Ranma and the others like Naruto or Gaara.
Neji combined his newly found knowledge of Ki in his usual Jyuken style.The Kaiten could be a devastating attack.He started giving out Ki blasts while doing the heavenly spin and he even can do the Hakke in his Kaiten state.
Naruto created a deadly attack.It was an offense and defensive attack combined. He creates many shadows clones and make them gather Ki all around them, then he orders them to give him all the ki to heal him up.He didn't need the Kyubi's Chakra to heal him then.Besides that,the extra ki will form a Ki armor around him thus preventing any Physical or elemental Jutsus to harm him.He could use the gathered to perform this wickedly huge Ki ball that even Ranma would avoid getting hit by it.
Naruto explained why he could do the Kage Bunshin so easily one day and The Kist brothers came up of a new Bunshin, a Ki based Bunshin instead of the Chakra based one.The Bunshin was made of pure Ki and it could withstand any physical attacks since it could regenerate by collecting the ki from all around it.The down side of this is that it could not do any jutsus,but it could perform Ki blasts though.The Ki Bunshins have the same power and strengh of the user and it actually have it's own personality like the user.The only ones who could do this technique was Naruto,Gaara,Ranma,Haku,Max and Neji.
Shino and even Kiba joined them in their training and was also showing great results.Shino could control his bugs more freely without the massive Chakra he have to feed them.He converted the Ki into Chakra and he never grow short on it.His bugs could even gather Ki for him to make Ki blasts.Kiba's endurance and stamina greatly raised on par with Lee and Naruto and the Garouga no longer takes a toll on him and Akamaru once he learned to heal by meditating using the technique Ranma taught him. He filled Ki around the Garouga and it became an invincible drill that could only be blocked by Gaara's supreme shield of Shukaku or Neji's Ultimate Kaiten.
The girls, also training for the future was improving on their techniques as well.TenTen's weapons could go against Temari's first star now.Hinata was tutored by Neji when they were at the Hyuuga mansion and her Byakugan could also see the Tenketsus on Neji's body.Sakura did not have any talent on Ninjutsu but she was great on Genjutsu so Max taught her his favorite Jutsu,the Reversing Jutsu.
Ino learned the wonder of Ki and her Shintenshin Jutsu could travel in a much faster speed.Shikamaru was dragged along with Choji and they also improved...albeit a little bit.His Shadow Bind could be held longer and he don't have any problem with catching a fast opponent since his shadow's speed was increased.Choji's Meat Ball Jutsu was faster and more agile once he added a little Ki around him.
The Jounin instructors were surprised by their progress every time they return from the mountains. They asked about the trainings they did but they swore not to tell anyone else.Jiraiya was curious and tried to sneak of on them once,he was shocked to see Naruto throwing away Rasengans.
#The brat could throw them already? How did he figure it out anyway? Wait...those aren't Rasengans,it's those energy balls that the Mist Ninjas use.I will need to have a atalk to them then.# thought Jiraiya.
After Naruto finished his final Ki ball,Jiraiya jump out of the bushes to greet him.Max and the other teams were shocked when they didn't even detect the Senin approaching.
#Heh,he wasn't called a Senin for nothing I guess.# thought Max.
"Ero-Senin!! Hey you come to teach me new stuff again?" shouted Naruto.
#He still have much energy after throwing that huge ki ball. Amazing.# thought Ranma.
"I have come.....to train you guys." said the Senin and smirked at the others reaction.
"Heh,Ero-Senin I know a technique more powerful than the Rasengan !! Check this out !!" shouted Naruto then he started to gather Ki into his hands.
Jiraiya's eyes widened at the raw power he felt in the small hands of his student.
"Naruto BAKUDAN !!!" Naruto screamed as aimed his palms high in the sky and then a great ball of Ki went soaring through it.Everyone could feel the heat radiating from the attack and was stunned by the fact that Naruto could perform this after making nearly twenty similar blasts a while ago.
Jiraiya composed himself and grinned "Well seems you are that powerful,I guess you and your friends don't wanna learn my other Jutsus then."
"Wait!! Wait !! Um...I ...mean..um...you can still teach me if you like..." said Naruto bleakly.
Jiraiya laughed "Of course I will."
The Senin trained the other genins along with Naruto for the next few weeks until their time in the Leaf was up.Team Sand and Team Mist will have to report back to their respective countries and do their own missions there.However,after Team Mist arrived at their Village they asked permission to go on a one month leave. Strangely enough the Mizukage agreed and gave them their passes to the Hidden Sand.
-----------------------------
Haku went in the cave where Zabuza lived carrying some supplies with him.What surprised them was that he have guests, and they were none other than Itachi and Kisame.
"Hello Kids....I have come here....to train you."
TBC...
-----------------------------
(A/N : BWAHAHAAHAH Naruto can do Ki blasts !!! Neji could throw his Hakke points attack and Gaara can do Ki beams !! Review please.This is not going to be a permanent chap.Maybe it's because I kinda rushed it and I think I mae them too powerful.Tell me if you guys wanna change it.)
