The Guardian
A/N- just so you know this may be out of character in some places and not forgetting my deep hate for Sakura and Sasuke they will most likely get their ass kicked, I hope to get all your complaints and comments on this and I will review them, I hope you all like this new one I have in store for you.
Have You Ever Wondered How Kyuubi Got To The Nartuo Realm? I mean all demons need someway to get there, what if Konoha met up with the summoner, the one who is the master of all summons. And what if he came to find the Guardian of Konoha has been mistreating? (Parings your Vote)
A figure stood over the large rock surface, five faces carved into the stone as the wind blew hard, it seemed like it was trying to push the man off the cliff. The man's cold green eyes surveyed the entire village; it had become prosperous once again since the incident 13 years ago. His white cloak blew rapidly in the wind, as did his black pants. A large katana stuck out on his side, a finely crafted black sheath held the sword against its bearer's leg. The mans black shirt could be seen that ended at the top of the shoulders, his arms covered in tattoos with numerous animal symbols.
"I have come to fix my mistake" the man said in a solemn voice, he removed a small black book that was thick with paper out of his cloak inside pocket. Opening it to a bookmarked page he skimmed through it.
"I was foolish to place you guardian of this place, I knew the humans would corrupt you, I placed to much faith in them." The man sighed. Suddenly five figures appeared out of no where surrounding the lone figure.
"Halt, state why you are in our village?" one of the members with a bird mask on said in a monotonous voice.
"Ahh, the ANBU have sent out a welcome wagon" the man said as he turned around smiling at the men, the wind blew pulling the hood away from his face revealing his long blue hair. His green eyes studied intently at all of the surrounding men. Konoha has be come frail.
"I have come to ask the Hokage for permission to become a shinobi of your village." He said with a smile. The ANBU stared curiously at the man, he looked like a regular merc, but you can't be too careful now days. The other ANBU looked at him.
"Very well, let us escort you to the Hokage's office" the leader said as the man nodded in agreement walking up to the ANBU. "Grab onto my arm" the ANBU said with the same tone of voice he had the entire conversation. The man did so without disagreement as the ANBU and man disappeared in cloud of smoke.
Hokage Office
The ANBU escorted the man in the white cloak into the office of the Hokage of Konoha, outside the door they heard loud yelling and screaming. As the ANBU captain knocked on the door the mass chaos seemed to die down inside the office and a voice was heard.
"Come In" it said sternly a bit muffled through the door the ANBU captain opened the door and let the man in white go in first, the captain followed and as the last of the squad got in they closed the door. The ANBU studied the situation of the Genin Team 7 giving their report on a mission to the Hokage. Se looked the man in the white cloak which had an emotionless face on as he stared right back at her, she switched her attention to the captain.
"Explain" she said in a still tone. The Genin team was stiff looking at the ANBU but Kakashi was studding the man in white. Where have I seen him before? Kakashi thought to himself as he studied the man carefully. The ANBU coughed a little.
"Approximately five minutes ago my group was on a normal patrol when we found this man atop the Hokage monument. No one has any idea how he arrived her and non of us sensed him, we went and questioned him and he had said he was here to become a Shinobi of Konoha so we escorted him here to await your orders." The ANBU said sternly but felt stupid because all of the ANBU had only seen him and during the entire duration of his presence had not sensed his chakra. Tsunade looked at the man again.
"You may leave Captain" she said sternly looking back to the captain.
"HAI!" the ANBU said as they all disappeared in a puff of smoke. Tsunade looked at Kakashi.
"Kakashi you and your team are dismissed you may have the rest of the day off" Tsunade said.
"Hai Hokage-sama" Kakashi said bowing and disappearing in a puff of smoke while Naruto just blinked at Tsunade.
"YATTA!" he bellowed loudly while jumping up and down. Sasuke hit Naruto on the head as he began towards the door. He stopped and stared at the man in white and studied him for a moment before snorting. He began to walk out of the door when he was stopped by a voice.
"It seems Uchiha ignorance is still alive and well, even though how weak you are" The voice said bordley, Sasuke was about to turn around when Naruto burst out into the hallway tackling Sasuke.
"Ya Sasuke, you're weaker than me and to prove it lets go spar" Naruto said loudly.
"Dobe" Sasuke said annoyed as he got up and walked away with Naruto screaming at him and Sakura telling Naruto to shut up and stop annoying her "Sasuke-Kun".
The man in the white cloak closed the doors and stepped up standing in front of the Hokage, who in turn was studying his every movement very carefully.
"Where do you come from?" she asked.
"Stone Country just recently, before there it was Wave, then Mist, then Fire, then back to Stone again, and it pretty much just rotates like that I cant remember which one I started in." he said looking as if he was thinking about it.
"Your name?" she quirked an eyebrow at this question curious to know the strangers name.
"Akuma Enja" he stated with a bored look on his face.
"Previous shinobi rank?" Tsunade asked becoming more interested in the man.
"hm… I think it was Chuunin, but I'm sure I can probly show high level Jounin maybe even ANBU skills" he said thoughtfully. "I've mostly mastered Taijutsu, sword arts, and ninjutsu. I also have an affinity with…summons" he stated the last part rather slowly like he wasn't sure if he should say it or not.
"Summons? Curious, what are you able to summon?" Tsunade asked. The man removed his cloak as Tsunade sat alert ready to react, when he removed his cloak her eyes widened at how many small tattoos he had on his arms. They were covered in tattoos of different animals that were symbols of summoning contracts. "So…SO many" Tsunade said amazed.
"Ya, my clan has a natural affinity to summon them, we seem to get an easy liking to us I suppose" he said with a laugh. He was amazed at how she hadn't accused him of a spy. He saw her eyes scan down his arms and then noticed the stone face she had. Ahh so she did notice. He thought to himself. He pointed to the fox head she was staring at.
"I see you've noticed this little guy?" he said, his face becoming entirely serious. She looked up to him with hate in her eyes.
"Were you the .." her question was cut short when the man interrupted.
" Hai, I was the one that summoned the demon Fox Kyuubi, but unforntatly for what you don't know is that he was supposed to be the guardian of the Fire Country. My clan is responsible to summon and seal a creature to each country to protect it against large scale wars. I sealed the Kyuubi to protecting the Fire country, but as I did not see the consequences when one of Konoha's sennin used an unknown jutsu on him. That was a week before the attacks began on Fire Country, I had spoken with the Kyuubi before hand and I noticed his slight change in personality but I ignored it." He said with a solemn look in his eyes. Tsunade looked saddened but angered by this.
"I know who did this too Naruto" she said venom easily detected in her voice. Akuma raised his eyebrow.
"Naruto? The noisy brat just outside what he have to do with this?" Akuma asked curiously. Tsunade was surprised as she looked up to him.
"You mean you don't know what happened to the Kyuubi?" she said shock clear in her voice.
"Ya I do, it was killed, and almost everyone knows that" He said in a matter-o-factly tone of voice. Akuma finally caught on when he saw the glint her eyes. His eyes widened in shock as he picked up his cloak franticly searching for a small black book that he wrenched out of a pocket. He flipped furiously through the pages until he stopped on one, Tsunade saw his eyes scanning over and over the page.
"Master in sealing techniques, and the one that killed the Kyuubi at the cost of his own life." He mumbled, he seemed to put two and two together. "He didn't have enough strength to kill Kyuubi…so he sealed him….into that kid?" he said as he sat heavily into one of the chairs.
"You didn't know?" she said.
"No, I was trying to find out who did it to Kyuubi to much to pay attention to what really happened, I had a feeling no one could kill the Kyuubi but I thought maybe Konoha actually became strong." He said a little sadness in his voice.
"Orochimaru did this to all of us" she spat with venom in her voice.
"If you don't mind I would request to be stated as a Konoha Chuunin. I would prefer to test my skills in the Jounin exam coming up next month and I would also like to be an examiner for one of the tests for the Chuunin exam of Konoha two months from now." Akuma said a new perkiness in his voice. Tsunade shuffled through some papers.
"Fill these out and give them back to me tomorrow. I will have a house and some starting money to start you out." She said throwing him a form of papers. He shook his head.
"I am fine in wealth." He said as he picked up his cloak pulling it around himself again.
"I thank you for your kindness Hokage-sama, and if you wish I'm sure I can teach that kid a few things about Kyuubi. Once again Thank You Hokage-Sama" he said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Two Days Later
After receiving his house and his headband he decided he wanted to take a look around and familiarize himself with the village. He leapt from rooftop to rooftop examining everything in great detail, from how many steps he took to how many dangerous items were set up on the street. He had begun his training for his Jounin exam; well he was doing it right now. Most of his arts were perfect except his speed with Taijutsu. Right now he had almost three hundred pounds extra from chakra on him; he was also using chakra to make sure the weight itself wouldn't crush roves. He made his way to his favorite stand in the entire place, he loved the food there, it was the best food ever invented in his thought. He leaped down onto the ground and walked into the Ichiraku Ramen stand, slowly taking a seat the old man looked up and smiled at the familiar face.
"Ahh back again I see, I'm starting to see a new customer every day" he said with a smile. Akuma grinned.
"One niku ramen please"he said cheerily. He waited for his order as suddenly Naruto came yelling happily about Ramen. He sat down and demanded his usual. The old man got their orders ready. Naruto noticed the strange man and he noticed the Konoha headband tied onto the mans katana sheath. He also noticed the Konoha leaf symbol on the mans black t-shirt. His green vest was by the looks of it Chuunin based rank.
"ne, ne, who are you? I haven't seen you around before" Naruto asked curiously. He completely ignores the multiple tattoos on the man's arms as the blue haired guy turned to look at him with his green eyes.
"My name is Akuma, why do you want to know Naruto?" Akuma said with small curiosity in his voice. Naruto stared at him cautiously, by the looks of it the man was old enough to know about the Kyuubi attacks. So obviously that's how he knew his name but this man stared at him differently, he showed no sign of hate or kindness, it was neutral. He heard his grumble growl but it wasn't for food it hurt, soon the seal began to burn a little but soon the feeling went away. Weird. Naruto thought to himself.
"Because you like ramen too, I don't know a lot of Shinobi who like Ramen as much as me" he said with a smile plastered on his face. Suddenly an ANBU popped up from behind both men.
"Hokage-sama whishes your presence Akuma-san" the man spoke sternly as he then disappeared. Akuma looked up to the old man.
"Put it on my tab?" he said as the old man nodded he pulled out five bills and laid them on the counter. "Here is your tip" (A/n- if this dosent seems to good sorry I'm not good with Japanese currency). Akuma then disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Hokage Office
"You wanted to see me Hokage-sama?" Akuma said as he bowed entering the Hokage's office. Tsunade looked up, she threw him a scroll which he caught easily.
"You are being assigned a mission to track down a nukenin from the mist, he has entered the fire country and he is now our responsibility he has killed several civilians and he is rumored to have serious information on the Mist we can use, we want him to be bringing back alive so he can be interrogated by Ibiki" Tsunade said briefly summarizing the mission. Akuma raised his eyebrow something didn't seem right.
"This is roughly and A-class mission and you're giving it to a single Chuunin, so what aren't you telling me Hokage-sama?" Akuma asked curiously.
"You will be accompanying two genin teams, Kakashi's and Kurenai's teams. Akuma sighed, this was going to be annoying.
"So your telling me I have to be with two loud mouths, a Sasuke fan, an Uchiha ass, a cute woman that also happens to be a Jounin, a perverted Jounin, a bug freak, and a shy girl…just to gather up some nukenin that probably couldn't tie his own shoes unless he dug his head out of his ass?" he said as if he was stuck with the lousiest job in the world.
"Well there is a D-rank mission that requires you to pick up the waste of all Civilian's animal…" she didn't finish her sentence when Akuma had already disappeared. That's what I thought. Tsunade thought evily.
Konoha Gate
"WHY IS KAKASHI SO LATE?" Sakura screamed loudly, Akuma bopped her on the head.
"Shut up, you're too loud" he said rubbing his ears. Everyone was here they were all waiting for Kakashi. Sakura was whining about why Kakashi was so late, soon she forgot about it and went over to fawning over Sasuke, Sasuke did what Sasuke does best….nothing. He just sat their, with his hands folded in front of him glaring at Naruto. Naruto was oblivious from this as he began cheering about how excited he was to kick some dudes ass, Hinata was twiddling with her fingers and she stared from time to time at Naruto with a blush. Kiba was target practicing with Akamaru in the trees a bit ahead of the road, Shino stood there staring at Akuma studding him. Kurenai was as well studding Akuma, finally she piped up.
"So Akuma, when did you get in the village?" she asked curiously, everyone slowly killing what they were doing to listen to the information they could have on this knew person in their presence. He looked over to Kurenai.
"Hmm... three days I guess" he said as he noticed Kakashi's presence flare for a second.
"Your good at hiding your chakra" Kurenai said as she stated what everyone had questions about, they were all wondering the entire time why they had not sensed him.
"Yes, I have pin point chakra control, I need it for the stuff I'm good at." He said with a smirk. Kurenai's eyebrow raised.
"What are you good at?" she asked curiously.
"Ah ah, cant tell you my triumph card 45 days away from the Jounin exam, wouldn't be right, but I'll give you a hint, its hard to do but you need to put enough chakra in to get something strong but to little and you'll have something useless" he said with a smile. He looked over to a tree near the gate. "Kakashi are you done looking at me, can we leave already?" he said curiously. Kakashi puffed out of no where and appeared beside Kurenai both of them thinking the same thing. He sensed Kakashi a while ago, why did he say anything now?.
"Hai" he said calmly, no one bothered to complain on Kakashi's tardiness as they traveled. Kiba and Akamaru in front trying to find the trace of the Missing-nin, Kakashi and Kurenai were talking about different things, but mostly whispering about the Chuunin. Akuma noticed but took no care about it. Shino was in front of him, beside him was Hinata, and ahead were Kurenai and Kakashi, ahead of Kurenai and Kakashi were Sasuke and Naruto while Sakura was in the front just behind Kiba. Akuma noticed it and picked up the small lady bug off his shoulder, he held it to his face looking at it while still walking. He mouthed something to the lady bug as it flew off, he saw it land in Shino's hand as then Shino looked back at Akuma. Akuma smiled and continued on his marry way while Shino looked up to Kurenai who looked back at him. He mouthed. He is able to talk to my bugs. Kurenai's eyes seemed to widen a bit as she looked at Akuma who wasn't paying attention and was just staring in the forest as he walked completely aware of his surroundings. After a couple more hours of bickering between Naruto and Kiba, and everyone telling them to shut up, and a couple more death threats between Sasuke and Naruto and Kiba the group decided to set up camp. The Jounin's and Akuma were the ones to take shift for the night. Deciding to keep each other all up they all sat around the camp fire after setting up some traps.
"So Akuma you're taking the Jounin exams next month?" Kakashi said reading his Icha Icha Paradise book. Akuma looked up from his own little black book.
"Hai, I was placed at Chuunin, I hope I am good enough to become Jounin" he said with a smile. Kurenai and Kakashi were curious at what he was reading and decided to question him on it.
"What are you reading Akuma?" Kurenai got the question in first. Akuma closed the book quickly and put it away.
"Just a little book everyone in my clan needs. Keep tabs on certain things" he said with a smile. Kurenai became more curious.
"What was your clan name anyways?" Kurenai asked curiously.
"Enja" he said nonchalantly as he looked at Kurenai. He was quiet handsome Kurenai had to admit a faint blush appeared on her face as she looked back to the fire. Kakashi seemed to pick up on the name; he began to pick his brain piece by piece. No…it couldn't be them. He thought to himself trying to hope it wasn't the one the fourth had taught him briefly about. Kakashi looked up to Akuma who was staring at him. It is. He knew, Akuma knew Kakashi figured it out.
"The Enja tribe, if it is the one I think of can I see your arms?" Kakashi asked curiously.
"Sure" he sad as he pulled the new black cloak around him off and revealed his tattoo covered arms. Kurenai looked up and also knew what this was.
"So many summons…how are you able?" she asked curiously.
"It is the Enja tribe's technique, demons and such have a natural liking to the Enja, they also have a past history that is quiet good for history. Though that's all I know" Kakashi said putting away his book. He locked his eyes on the one he was looking for.
"Ask the Hokage" Akuma said answering Kakashi's unasked question. There was an jacquard silence between the three of them the rest of the night as the camp fire slowly faded in the early morning. Nothing had happened, so they began to gather up the traps they had set. The young Genin's packed up their tents and gear as they quickly traveled once again in the same order trying to find their target. After about three hours of walking Kiba finally picked up on something.
"Hey, I got a strong sent, it looks like went northwest from here, looks like he used a teleporting jutsu to get here, but he walked northwest from here." Kiba said starting off towards the woods. The entire group began to leap from tree to tree following the ever growing sent. Soon Kiba stopped and the entire group moved towards Kiba staring at him.
"He's ahead about ten clicks, he's made camp I can smell him all over the place he's set up traps." Kiba said quietly. Kakashi picked his brain.
"From what we know he was a Chuunin that was quiet amazing at picking up on chakra presences, and well since we all know we cant get close enough before he gets away I want Akuma to go. He will disable the trap and block his escape rout encase he runs. Then we will all move in." Kakashi said sternly he earned a confirmed nod from everyone. Kakashi turned to look at Akuma.
"Go" Akuma nodded and disappeared in puff of smoke. Twenty minutes later Shino looked to the lady bug on his shoulder.
"He's done" he said quietly as all the Shinobi charged foreword, creating a large semi circle to try and prevent the man from escaping from all sides. Suddenly Kiba stopped as did the rest of the group.
"Damn I'm picking up five other scents." Kiba said loudly followed by a quiet harsh profanity. Shino looked at the bug again.
"Akuma says there are now including our target, four Chuunin's and one Jounin leveled nukenins." Shino said looked to Kakashi.
"Damn" Kakashi sighed. Suddenly Akamaru sniffed the air and barked. Kiba looked at him and Akamaru barked more.
"Akamaru says he is smelling a lot of chakra, and a very strong one at that." He said to the group, suddenly everyone saw the strong mist come in and then nothing. Slowly they cautiously made their way to one branch and found each other. After a few minutes of developing a plan the group all heard the same thing.
"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!" The entire group turned and saw a large amount of white smoke appear. Quickly they began running to the camp.
Camp Site
Akuma sat silently in the trees watching the men talk and drink. After the men finished about their fourth bottle of Sake each they all began to talk in a drunken rave.
"Ya Did ya hears? Dat sennin from koonahoa whats his face…white shkin and yellow eysh? Ya hes tryings to trainsh somesh more recuritss for hiss army. I hears theysh excepts all sorts of peoples, think we should head over theresh?" the man in a dark navy blue Chuunin vested ninja said stupidly. His mist bandanna had a slash across the metal plate slowly blew up and down as it hung loosely around his neck. His black hair waved gently in a gentle breeze.
"yash, I shink we chould becomish powerfulsh if we joined his army" one of the Chuunins also with a Mist bandanna said. His brown hair was shaven down to a short short style as to not get snagged or have it hamper his fighting.
"I heard his base is actually about 2 or 3 days walk from the Valley of the End" the only sober one in the group said his guard still up. His eyes were alert as for him he wore a katana strapped to his back and he wore a Cloud Jounin flak jacket. His hitate also had a slash mark through it. His hair was white and his pants and shirt were dark green, almost the color of the leaves. Obviously he has been in fire country for some time or he wouldn't have been ready for the change in his camouflage. One of the Chuunins stands up and makes his way towards a tent.
"Where are you going?" the Jounin asks cautiously. The Chuunin looks back.
"to gets more Sake" he said drowsily. The Jounin eyes him a little before turning back to the main group. Suddenly a heavy mist began to draw in from almost nowhere, it became extremely heavy and the people could barley see in front of their face. The Jounin stood alert and moved off to the side a bit drawing his katana. The Chuunin's jumped up fumbling for their weapons. The Jounin closed his eyes and began to listen, then he quickly raised his katana deflecting the shuriken that was surely going to pierce his arm had he not deflected it. He heard a slicing sound, but it was quiet, he turned to see his four companions figures in the fog all alert as can be at how drunk they were. The Jounin turned and deflected another shuriken but this time threw two of his own back at the place where it was, he waited a second before hearing it hit wood. 'kawarimi?' the Jounin thought to himself as he turned to see two more figures disappeared completely and then saw the third figure, but someone was slowly creeping up behind him. So the Jounin wrenched two shuriken from his holster and hurled them sharply towards the shadow. The Jounin heard two hits and then slowly the fog began to disappear. As the fog cleared completely the Jounin sighed as he saw an unknown warrior in a black cloak, he had blue hair and green eyes, one shuriken had by the looks of it clipped his jugular making him bleed out. The two remaining Chuunin stood their, staring at the body then to the Jounin.
"Should we pillage the body?" the only Chuunin left of the mist said. The stench of sake still on his breath. The Jounin lowered his sword; he kept in his hand and slowly walked over to the body. He poked it with his sword and then checked the pulse. 'Oh ya he's dead alright'. The Jounin thought.
"Something dosent seems right though, he killed three Chuunin, and he got killed by a lucky shuriken throw? Something is wrong." The Jounin said cautiously, he turned to the other Chuunin, he was from the Sand. He hadn't been moving with them for long but he still had come along willingly. But he was really hard headed and whined about why he always had to do things. Honestly the Jounin wanted to kill him before they left Wind country. "Dispose of the body, and then get rid of the other two bodies. Get what you can from them" the Jounin said to the sand-nin. "I'm going to check the perimeter" just as the Jounin went to get up that's when he noticed a flicker of chakra right below him. Looking down he suddenly saw to his horror the Genjutsu that was on the body fade and it ended up being the Sand-nin standing beside him. He leaped forwards while spinning in the air and threw three kunai's at the "sand-nin". The Cloud Jounin flew through hand seals and yelled out.
"KAGE SHURIKEN NO JUTSU!" as then the three kunai he threw multiplied into twelve. The "sand-nin" jumped back a little ways and he quickly raised his hands, he went through his hand seals at a blinding speed as he finally called out.
"DOTON: DORYUUHEKI!" he bellowed as he suddenly threw up mud creating a large solid wall in front of him just in time to block the shurikens. The "sand-nin" leaped onto the top of the wall seeing the Jounin already running towards him, he again flew through rapid hand seals and quickly called out.
"KEI BIRANSEI NO JUTSU!" suddenly the man seemed to inhale and then blow out a large cloud of green air. 'SHIT' the Jounin thought as he quickly held his breath. As he charged through the gas he seemed to get extremely fatigued. He leaped up and swung at the "sand-nin" as he merely leaned to the right allowing the sword he had to get stuck in the wall of mud. The Jounin looked over to receive a boot to the face as he flew again back through the green air and onto the ground. The Jounin began to cough roughly as he noticed he began to start coughing blood, the wall fell and the "sand-nin" disappeared in a poof of smoke to only reveal the so called body he thought he had killed. To his surprise he saw a Konoha Chuunin vest under the man's black cloak, on his side the Jounin could see the hilt of a finally crafter katana. He put his hand to his mouth and tried to wipe away the blood but he just kept coughing it. He looked over to see if his Chuunin companion would be able to fight but saw he was already knocked out.
"Your Chuunin friend wasn't even a match for a mizu-bushin. Pretty sad huh? Well anyways, you fought well, but unfortunately you are a missing-nin. So I kinda have to kill you. So instead of letting you suffer ill put you out of your misery. And before you do die if you wanna know why you not breathing didn't work with my poison gas, is because mines a lot more potent so it dosent have to be inhaled, if it touches your skin it seeps through and into your blood stream." The man said, his green eyes emotionless, not with anger or pain or anything, just how a shinobi should be, completely clear, nothing. The man drew his blade, which it was strange for the coughing Jounin to look at for from his blurry vision, he could've sworn the blade was black metal. Akuma walked up next to the kneeling over Jounin. He looked into the mans eyes just as he cut the Jounin's head clean off. Akuma looked around.
"Alright do your stuff" he said as he re-sheathed his katana, he cut his finger on the blade before putting it back. Moving his cloak back on his left arm he reached up and slid his blood across one of the tattoos. He did some hand seals and drove his hand into the ground.
"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!" he bellowed as white smoke blew into the air. Akuma stood back and bowed as the white smoke cleared he now looked on to a large Racoonish type creature. The large creature stared at Akuma before nodding its head.
"What do you wish of me Akuma Enja?" the large beast said. The beast was exactly what it looked like a raccoon, the king of raccoons to be specific. Though he was a smaller boss he was still the size of a horse.
"I wish for you and your clan to be fed, I have heard you have been finding trouble finding food and shelter, you can use these five men's bodies and equipment for shelter and food." Akuma said bowing politely. The raccoon looked around as his eyes stopped on the Mist Chuunin sitting now tied up shaking.
"And him?" the Raccoon king asked.
"Nothing my lord, for he is needed for my mission to be a success." Again Akuma bowed. The boss turned his head back and looked back at Akuma.
"Always polite, very well Akuma, I thank you for your offering and accept, my kin shall bring back our food and shelter, you have done us yet another favor which we owe you for." The Raccoon lord said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Akuma looked around and saw the bodies being slowly dragged under ground almost as if they were melting into the ground. Akuma looked back and saw the Mist-nin.
"You caused a lot of trouble." Akuma said in a bored tone when suddenly the rest of the shinobi appeared from the trees. Kakashi and Kurenai surveyed the scene as did everyone else.
"Nani? I thought their were a lot of guys? What happened?" Naruto said dumbfounded. Now noticing the blood he slowly began to put two and two together. But Naruto didn't care. "Damnit now I can't show off my cool technique." He said and sat down pouting. Sasuke looked around and saw the blood and the mist-nin tied up, he knew that if a Chuunin actually lived in Konoha this strong he'd know about them. Shino surveyed the place.
"ahh, so you were just waiting for your chance to get them huh?" Kakashi said lazily taking out his perverted book. Kurenai's eye twitched.
"Kakashi what did I tell you about reading that Perverted book in front of me?" Kurenai said in a low venomous tone. Kakashi remembering the event cleary, Kurenai threatened to burn his house and his entire collection, if he ever read that in front of her again. Suddenly they all heard someone cough, they looked over to see Akuma blushing a little.
"ne, ne, Kakashi? Haven't you read" he smiled for a moment before running up to Kakashi and whispering into his ear. Kakashi's eyes widened in shock.
"NANI? You mean its out?" Kakashi said looking at Akuma like he was hit with a ton of bricks.
"I have Jiraya-sama's unedited version, he gave me a spare incase this one was burned, here you can have it" Akuma smiled as he pulled out a small orange book from inside his vest pocket and handed it to Kakashi, Kakashi snatched the book carefully and petted it. All the other shinobi standing their sweat dropped.
"Great another Perverted-sensei!" yelled Naruto, Akuma looked over to him and glared.
"It's not my fault that I have good taste in books" Akuma said and turned his head away and nose in the air "humph". Kurenai's team was currently restraining their sensei. As she yelled out, wildly flinging her hands in the air.
"ILL KILL THEM BOTH LEMME GO ILL GET BOTH THOSE PERVERTED TEMES!" Everyone sweat dropped even the Mist-nin on the sitting on the ground. Kakashi and Akuma then coughed.
"Anyways we should get this guy back to Konoha and explain our mission is done. Anyways lets head back" Kakashi said putting the precious book away. He turned to look at the Mist-nin.
"Whos taking him?" Kakashi asked.
"I will" he said creating a cross like hand seal with his fingers.
"Kage Bushin No Jutsu" he said lazily as suddenly ten figures of himself appeared in a puff of smoke surrounding the Mist-nin.
"Lets go" Kakashi said as they all turned and began to walk back to Konoha.
That Night/Camp
The walk back was pretty quiet, seeing how they weren't in much of a rush they decided to set up camp at nightfall, though they were only a couple miles from Konoha they saw no reason to head back quiet fast. Their prisoner Mist-nin had his legs and arms tenketsu's closed, by Hinata, and he also had a seal put on the palms of his hands by Akuma. It seemed that the man couldn't go further than the tree he leaned on, he could go maybe a foot before excruciating pain jolted throughout his arm, legs, and head. The camp fire was seat up as they all sat around eating the fish that Kiba had caught a bit earlier. Sasuke had kept quiet as usual though he constantly glanced/glared at Akuma. Akuma currently was playing poker with Shino, who Akuma had somehow convinced to play, Akuma was losing heftily by about 3000 yen, Shino had a mean poker face and his bluffs and truths were so hard to tell apart, though Akuma didn't much care for trying.
Kiba, Naruto, Hinata, Kakashi, Kurenai and Sakura where sitting around the fire watching, eating , talking until finally Sakura asked.
"Sensei, if he is that strong then shouldn't he be a Jounin? I mean he took out six missing-nins, five of them Chuunin level like they were nothing not to mention he also battled the Jounin leveled missing-nin." Sakura asked quietly trying not to perk any attention from Shino's and Akuma's poker game, though Akuma could easily hear her he chose not to speak.
"Hmm...It all depends on if they choose to be a Jounin, I mean with the talents he has he could be a special Jounin, if he wanted I guess. But like Chuunin, Jounin ranking isn't only about skills; it's about responsibility and your cooperation with your team." Kakashi said with a bored yawn. "Well it looks like its getting late, and we need to be up early so the higher ranks will take the guard duty. You genins get sleep" Kakashi said, the group groaned except for Shino, who simple put down the cards picked up his pile of money which was probably near fifteen thousand yen. Leaving a muttering Akuma behind as he took a seat on a log near the fire. After a few minutes Akuma decided to speak.
"Those missing-nins were deciding to go to Orochimaru's; they were going to join his army because of them excepting almost everyone, they said his base was about two or three days walk from the Valley of the End." Akuma said, hearing the name Kakashi flinched but neither shinobi said anything.
"Well have to inform Hokage-sama when we return" Kurenai said.
"Kakashi…if you don't mind id like to borrow your student when we return, maybe for half a day, leave him at full chakra capacity though, I think its time he should know" Akuma said quietly. Kurenai raised an eyebrow as Kakashi sighed.
"I'm not sure how he's going to react. To hear the man who ruined his life, is now a Konoha Chuunin" Kakashi said gently. He didn't know much but he did know how to put two and two together, with Akuma's fox tattoo on the middle of his right shoulder and him being the same age as Kakashi, not to mention genius and sole survivor of his clan. He was the only one alive and smart enough to be able to summon that monster.
"I think you two should fill me in when we return, but I have a feeling all of Konoha is going to have a bad feeling for you Akuma" Kurenai said, from the sound of their conversation she could only best guest that Akuma had a dark secret. But it was something that involved Konoha, that's what bugged her, and she didn't know what it was.
OOC
(A/N- Alright I decided im going to continues this story, but unfortunately as I didn't inform any of you of this, that copy was just a beta. Now the parings are still your choice but immediately I state this NO Absolutely NO Naru/Sasuke. Because my deep passion of hate knows no end for Sasuke. So, im thinking I may have a bit Kurenai/OC or Kurenai/Kakashi. But anyways parings are for you. And the next chapter will have a lot more information that was probably needed her for better understanding. Just so you know this is a year after Sasuke "attempted" to run away, but instead Naruto captured him with the help of Gaara and Lee. Anyways hope you like an a list of Jutsus are below for ones you may not know.
Kirigakure no Jutsu
A Ninjutsu technique that covers the area surrounding the ninja using it completely in mist. Perfect for silent killing, since there's practically no visibility within the area of this jutsu.
Doton: Doryuuheki
A Doton (earth type) Ninjutsu technique where the ninja "vomits" a wave of mud, which shoots out of their mouth and assumes the form of a solid wall in front of them, sturdy enough to dam a river of water.
Biransei no Jutsu
This Ninjutsu technique creates a cloud of poisonous gas that erupts from the ninja's mouth in a stream. The cloud clears a distance between the ninja and their enemy, as not to capture the ninja himself within it's area of effect.
