Chapter 2
"Truth's and Choices"
"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.
Next Day
Early morning the group of Shinobi awoke, Naruto of course didn't wake up until Kiba let Akamaru bite him in the ass to get him up. Naruto chased the dog and master around for a few minutes before groggily packing up his sleeping gear, the group quickly ate breakfast from the fish that Kakashi had caught. Akuma had managed to get a few words out of Shino by talking to him during the time, asking for a rematch when Shino just merely stated some other time. Akuma pouted during his breakfast and kept pestering but Shino held up strong willed. Naruto and Sasuke were escorting the prisoner this time on each side of him, Sakura stood behind the prisoner with a kunai drawn incase he tried something; Akuma was in the back while Kakashi and Kurenai were leading the group. Shino was beside Akuma, Kiba was in front of Naruto, and Hinata in front of Sasuke. Akuma was pouting and pestering Shino for another game of poker but Shino just said nothing, until suddenly Akuma became serious.
"So… How long has the Uchiha been back?" Akuma asked curiously
"Almost a year now since his attempted abandonment of the village" Shino answered noticing the quick change in Akuma's personality.
"Who brought him back?" Akuma asked curiously.
"A group of genin consisting of: Hyuuga Neji, Inuzuka Kiba, Akimichi Chouji, Uzumaki Naruto, and Team leader Shikamaru, Rock Lee and the sand team of Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro were also involved." Shino said irritation in his voice.
"I see not that many people think the Uchiha was worth the trouble huh?" Akuma said more as a statement then a question. He looked up and watched the back of the Uchiha for a minute. He sighed; as he looked up he saw the gates of Konoha approaching quickly. The group arrived and the guards opened up seeing Kakashi and Kurenai leading the group. The doors swung open as the large shinobi group was greeted with a few people. Standing there was the Hokage, and ANBU squad and Morino Ibiki smiling evilly at the prisoner. The higher ranking shinobi of the group shivered at what this meant, they all knew how much of a sadist Ibiki was, even Akuma had known of Ibiki, and apparently so had the prisoner as he began to become extremely restless. The Hokage smiled seeing Naruto so pumped up, the group bowed as Kakashi piped up.
"Hokage-sama, Team 7 and 8 also accompanied by Chuunin Akuma Enja, mission Successful" Kakashi said, the groups bowed respectfully except Naruto who just stood their with his hands behind his head grinning stupidly.
"I expect you three to be in my office in ten minutes" The Hokage said pointing at Akuma, Kurenai and Kakashi.
"Hai Hokage-Sama" the three ninja's chorused.
"Now I get to have fun, I haven't been able to interrogate in a month and I have a new jutsu I want to try out, ANBU team 1 escort the prisoner to Interrogation room Eleven" Ibiki said as he disappeared with a sadistic smirk. The ANBU team moved forward and quickly knocked the prisoner out, picking him up the ANBU team looked to the group of shinobi nodded and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Kakashi and Kurenai turned around to look to their teams.
"Dismissed" They both said, the group let out a sigh as they went their separate ways.
"YAHOO! RAMEN RAMEN RAMEN!" Naruto chimed as he ran down the street to Ichiraku's Ramen stand. Kakashi, Kurenai and Akuma looked to each other and nodded, disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Hokage's Office
Tsunade looked up to see the three shinobi she asked for appear in a puff of smoke now standing at attention.
"Finally learned not to read that damned book in front of me huh Kakashi?" Tsunade said smiling evilly as Kakashi shuddered remembering how many walls he went through the last time he read his "Icha Icha Paradise" book in front of Tsunade.
"Now I Need all three of you to fill out a mission report" Tsunade said, all three ninja's pulled out a scroll and handed it to the Hokage, Tsunade sighed and took the scrolls, he noticed how larger Akuma's was.
"So I don't have to read this and I can get to my paperwork sigh who actually apprehended our missing-nin?" Tsunade asked, though she had a good idea at who did it.
"Akuma Enja" Kurenai and Kakashi chimed.
"I see, and have you two been informed of what his abilities are?" Tsunade asked, Kakashi nodded but Kurenai shook her head.
"I'm afraid I don't completely understand Hokage-sama, I know he is able to summon due from his bloodline but that's all I know, it seems he and Kakashi know something they haven't told me yet" Kurenai said while all three Ninja's continued to stand at attention.
"Kurenai gather all the Jounin's and ANBU squads, there is something you must all know" Tsunade said sternly.
"Hai" Kurenai said as she disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Hopefully this will make Naruto's life a bit easier with the villagers have someone else to blame" Akuma said sadly. "But Hokage-sama if you would permit me, I would like to tell Naruto myself and later on this afternoon." Akuma said with seriousness in his voice.
Tsunade seemed to be thinking it over very difficultly, she wasn't sure how Naruto was going to react, and they didn't need anything to happen to the "Summoner" as they could really use him if the Akatsuki or Orochimaru decided to attack again. Over the past year things seemed to have quieted down some, but there is still the war with Sound and recently Stone have been showing hostile acts to Konoha nins
"We shall decide after we talk to the other shinobi." Tsunade said.
"Hai" he nodded. Soon all of the Jounin's and ANBU members had appeared in the Hokage's Office. She turned and faced them all. The Jounin's and ANBU members all curious about this meeting seeing all high level Shinobi but the one Chuunin standing near the front.
"This meeting has been called because we have received important information; it is of S rank information on the account that has to do with the incident 14 years ago." Tsunade said sternly staring into all of the Shinobi's eyes except the ANBU for their masks.
"You mean the Kyuubi attack Hokage-sama?" one Jounin said, everyone in the room curious.
"Yes, we have come across an extremely powerful shinobi, his name is Akuma Enja, Akuma come here" Tsunade said, Akuma stepped forward as gossip started among the Shinobi.
"But Hokage-sama, he is only a Chuunin how could he be so powerful?" another Jounin Asked, the ANBU members seemed to study the man quiet carefully.
"He is at Chuunin because he has asked to be placed there so he can take the Jounin Exams to prove he is worthy" Tsunade said.
"But what does he have to do with the incident 14 years ago?" this time Asuma asked.
"His full name is Akuma Enja, and it's because…" Tsunade stopped as she saw Akuma starting to take of his Chuunin Vest, everyone saw various tattoos on his forearms, he removed his black T-shirt to let them see his entire arms were covered in summoning tattoos; an extremely large one was on his stomach.
"So many contracts" the Jounin's stared in awe.
The ANBU captain in the white robe finally figured it out, he had been thinking about what Sarutobi had told him a long time ago.
Flash Back
"You wanted me Hokage-sama?" the white robed ANBU asked as he stared at the back of Sandaime's back. The old man turned around and puffed out smoke from his pipe, he looked up to the ANBU's mask.
"I want you to do me a favor before these Chuunin Exams start." The Hokage said taking another puff of his pipe.
"Anything Hokage-sama" the ANBU captain became curious.
"I need you to give this to a person if he ever comes here, his name is Akuma Enja. Read this scroll if you must to find my reasons why this man is so important" the Hokage said handing the ANBU member a small scroll and a larger scroll that seemed to be a Jutsu scroll. "He will understand". The Hokage smiled and turned looking back out the window as another cloud of smoke came from his pipe.
The ANBU captain disappeared in puff of smoke putting the Jutsu Scroll into his cloak and opening the other one to read it.
Captain
Akuma Enja is the most important person in all of Konoha, if he wants he can become our greatest hero or enemy, but he is also the best person to train Uzumaki Naruto, because he is the one who had summoned the Kyuubi. Now I know you do not take any resentment to Naruto even though your family was slaughtered by the Kyuubi, now its your choice to take vengeance on Akuma Enja or forgive him but just know he was only 14 when he summoned the Kyuubi, he meant it to be the Guardian of Konoha and he has sent his apologizes for what has happened. But the Kyuubi also had a family, but one of the Konoha ninja's attacked the family while Kyuubi was hunting, the kits and mother was killed because of one of our Ninjas. I already have a strong sense that this was Orochimaru, but please give that scroll to Akuma Enja, he will find learning it be helpful when he find Naruto is ready to learn it
Sandaime Hokage,
End Flashback
The ANBU captain in the white robes moved forward, pushing past all the other Jounin and ANBU's, Akuma and Tsunade stared at him curiously as he finally got in front of Akuma, he made a hand seal and a scroll puffed out of nowhere into his hand.
"Sandaime wished you to have this Akuma Enja, and I forgive you for it was not your fault with what happened to this village 14 years ago." The ANBU captain said startling everyone; Akuma took the scroll and looked at it realizing what it was.
"I see, thank you, though I do think that the Villagers and others may see that differently" Akuma said bowing to the ANBU.
"What are you talking about?" a Jounin asked.
"He was the one who summoned the Kyuubi" Kakashi stated nonchalantly. All The Jounins and ANBU in the room quickly pulled out a Kunai and readied hand seals except for the Hokage, Kakashi, and the ANBU captain.
"LOWER YOUR WEAPONS THAT'S AN ORDER!" Tsunade screamed. The Jounin's and ANBU hesitantly did what they were told.
"The Kyuubi was originally supposed to be your guardian, but I was foolish and still summoned it, Kyuubi had a family that was slaughtered when he was hunting and until now we knew it was only a Konoha-nin, but we didn't know who. But now we have found out that it was the previous Konoha-sannin, Orochimaru." Akuma said as he looked to everyone around. They all cursed under the breaths, all of them having one more reason to hate the snake bastard.
"Akuma, I do not recognize the tattoo on your chest" Kakashi said, now everyone looking noticed an jacquard symbol, that seemed to be a large creature with wings wrapped around a large crystal, the creature had scales and a long tail.
"That Kakashi, is my strongest summon, even a lower summon from this group could wipe out the Kyuubi easily. It Is the Dragon Clan." Akuma said, all of the people in the room jaw's dropped, all of them thinking the same thing, the weakest creatures could easily destroy the Kyuubi? No way.
"But I have never heard of that summon before" Kakashi said recovering quickly.
"Yes, but what you don't know is that every Enja who becomes head clansman, goes on a sort of vision quest to find his own original summon, my father was the wolverine's and mine was the unique and by far most powerful Dragons." Akuma finished.
"You are easily able to be a Jounin, hell you could most likely being the Kage when she retires." Asuma said.
"don't flatter me, I'm not that good, uh-oh" Akuma suddenly started to get light headed.
"What do you mean uh-oh?" Tsunade asked.
"I forgot to stop using my chakra as weights, I have about three hundred extra pounds since two days ago, and I have also been using chakra to make sure I didn't crush the floor that I have walked on" Akuma said sitting down quickly before he fell, he released all the chakra he was using and found himself a lot lighter then before.
"Don't worry just chakra depletion" Akuma said.
"Hokage-sama…are you going to announce this to the village, though we understand I fail to see that the villagers are cunning enough to understand who's fault it really is." The ANBU captain in the white robe said worry in his voice.
"I'm not goin.." Tsunade started but was soon interrupted.
"Yes she will, it will give Naruto and easier life, and besides none of the villagers can touch me let alone catch me" Akuma chuckled. Tsunade thought it through for a moment, he had a point, he was old enough to take care of himself, and he was no fool, he could handle the hot headed villagers.
"Very well, I will announce it at the end of the Jounin Exams, to make sure he gets a fair test. But until then this information is not to leave this room understood?" Tsunade said.
"Hai Hokage-sama" the large filled room replied. Soon they all disappeared after taking one last look at Akuma. The only ones left where Akuma, the white robed ANBU captain, and the Hokage.
"I shall be expecting you to join the ranks of ANBU very soon Akuma" the man said as he then disappeared. Akuma sighed, he was tired. He rested his head back and slowly slipped into unconsciousness. Tsunade stared at him for a moment sleeping soundly in the chair. She turned and looked out the window.
"Konoha will stand proud with this new achievement, but what will Naruto think?" Tsunade was worried for her "little brothers" health and mental stability. Would he snap, would he try and kill Akuma, would he despise Akuma, or would he not care? Its all hard to tell. But whatever is going to happen, she knew it would happen soon.
Akuma's Mind
"It has been some time Akuma" A large voice echoed throughout the cold cloud covered canyon. Blood rained from the sky as Akuma stood in the middle of this large open razor sharp canyon. Akuma turned around opening his green eyes to look into the yellow glowing ones of a large dragon lying down with his wings tucked in at his sides. His tail curled up around himself as his head lay on his front feet. He stared lazily into Akuma's eyes.
"What do you want Konran-sama?" Akuma asked groggily. These vision meetings took a lot out of him.
"Ah, straight to business as usual, then again these meetings to take a lot out of any human. I see you have found the Kyuubi no kitsune?" Konran stated more or less rather then asked.
"you should know that I have, you do have partial control of my memories at any time you want after all, and seeing how I had to make a life pact with you, you should know anything I do" Akuma said. He made an expression as if thinking, "And you never told me how you actually did get that injured Konran-sama" Akuma said thinking.
"That is for later news; but for now, be careful of the Kitsune's container, he may have a lot against you, and we don't need Akatsuki to get a hold of Kyuubi. For if they do get him, they have a small chance of luck of getting a hold of his memories and finding out about us, and if they do then they will know to get you out of the picture and know the only way to kill you. Though the life pact is your biggest power it's also your biggest flaw, be thankful we have taken care of every other loose end" Konran said as his eyes shifted for a minute.
"Its time for me to wake up, I will speak with you later Konran-sama" Akuma bowed and then slowly faded into nothing.
"We shall hope the Kyuubi doesn't give the boy power, or another one of your triumph cards will be lost." Konran said before slowly disappearing.
Team 7 Training Ground
Naruto sat training, he had learned that Kakashi was still favoring that bastard, and even Sakura was still fawning over him. Kakashi didn't even put Naruto's training that hard, he wasn't even half way down on chakra. He was pissed and he was taking his anger out on the three large wooden poles in the middle of the clearing. He created a clone and the clone started to mold his chakra into one hand as then he was ready the clone disappeared and Naruto thrust the Rasengan into the pole as hard as he could, the ball of chakra seemed to get absorbed at first but then the back of the pole and anything behind it for about a mile distance now had a large whole in it. He was beyond pissed, no matter how hard he tried he never could get their attention. Suddenly he leapt back as the kunai he heard embedded itself into the remainder of the pole. Naruto looked to see Akuma standing there.
"Hello Naruto-kun" he said with a smile. Naruto's mask went up quickly as he smiled stupidly.
"Hello Akuma-san, ano sa, ano sa, would you teach me some really cool moves!" Naruto asked bouncing up and down. Akuma sighed and sat down, he motioned for Naruto to do so as well, for some reason Naruto felt something inside of him missing, he sat down and looked at Akuma.
"First I will educate you on your special condition. And I will also tell you who is the cause of it" Akuma said worry slightly in his voice. 'I'm still wondering how he will react'. Naruto seemed a bit curious on something.
"Ano sa, Akuma-sensei what do you mean, there is one person the cause of the Kyuubi?" Naruto said confusion in his eyes. Akuma sighed.
"Have you not ever thought of where the Kyuubi came from? Or how it go here?" Akuma asked curiously.
"Hai, I have but I haven't paid much attention." Naruto said, he was feeling a mixture of emotions, knowing a single person was the one to cause his life a living hell.
"Naruto-kun, I have over a thousand summoning contracts, from raccoons to frogs, and most of all I am one of the only ones to ever get the Fox summoning contract" Akuma said with a sad look in his eyes. Naruto seemed shocked, but he easily figured out what Akuma was trying to say. He went to grip his kunai but found he couldn't.
"Listen to Him Brat, It isn't his fault, now listen carefully because I'm not letting you move otherwise, if you wonder why you cant move its because I'm draining your chakra." Kyuubi's voice echoed throughout Naruto's skull. Naruto really having no other choice, just gritted his teeth and listened.
"I'm afraid Naruto-kun, that I was at least one part the cause of your pain, the other part that caused your pain was the one who turned Kyuubi from a loving parent and guardian of Fire Country to the strongest demon and the cause of the bloodiest massacre in the history of the ninja villages." Akuma said sadness in his eyes. Naruto started to listen even more.
"Originally being my clan head, we are supposed to assign guardians to certain countries bearing on what good things they could do for the country. I assigned Kyuubi to the Fire Country, now for the first 2 years he was fine, that was until one day he left to hunt when his entire family was slaughtered, Kyuubi came back to find the bodies of his two newly born kits and his wife, the smell of snake strong in the air he followed it back to Konoha, his rage consumed him and he became your Villages living hell. That was until the Yondaime sealed him inside of your stomach, now I met up with the Yondaime before he sealed the Kyuubi, I informed him of what happened to the Kyuubi, and he said that "slippery snake sennin bastard". I didn't know what he meant at the time, but when I came back four days ago the Hokage and myself cleared up the foggy parts and I found out that Orochimaru was the cause of the slaughter of Kyuubi's family, and in direct the cause of your extra guest." Akuma said, saying everything slowly making sure it sank in. Naruto clenched his fist.
"Now I have another reason to hate that bastard, I swear ill kill him, for making me live through the hell I have had to go through my entire life." Naruto said with venom in his voice.
"Naruto-kun, I know you have no reason to trust me, but I would like to teach you to help you with your goal, because I am as much at fault as he is, I have just received a scroll from the ANBU captain, the Sandaime gave it to him to give to me. It has all of your fathers jutsu's in this scroll." Akuma said, he mentally kicked himself when he mentioned Naruto's father remembering that no one had told him.
"Don't worry, I already know the Fourth Hokage was my father, I over heard Ero-sennin and Tsunade-baba talking. They were trying to decide if they should tell me" Naruto said with a grin.
"Alright then, the letter the Sandaime left with me said that it will be easier if I learn them as well while I teach you them. But I will ask your permission to learn them before I even try. So Naruto-kun, will you allow me to learn your fathers jutsu's so I can teach them to you" Akuma said as he stared into Naruto's cerulean eyes.
"Hai" Naruto answered with a goofy grin on his face. Akuma smiled. He took out four sets of weights and threw them to Naruto, Naruto caught them but fell backwards at how heavy they are.
"Wear those, I will use my chakra to increase the weight each day, you have two months till the Chuunin exam right? Well if you want to learn them by then, then you will have to get a lot faster and better at controlling your stamina, even more stamina then you have now. It will only take me until the start of the Jounin exams to learn these." Akuma said still smiling. Naruto looked to Akuma like he was crazy but sighed and put the wrist weights on and then put on his ankle weights.
"Right now your wearing about 100k/g, more then what you weigh, so I suggest you run a couple laps around the field to get better at it, then do some jumping jacks and push ups. And if I see you slacking off, then I'll add and extra 200k/g to the weights." Akuma said smiling. Naruto's face paled.
"NANI?" Naruto screeched.
"I suggest you start running, or I may consider this slacking off, why don't you go train with… Gai's pupil what's his name….umm, Lee? Yea that's it why don't you go train with Lee, I'm sure he's over at Training Field 10." Akuma said as he disappeared in puff of smoke. Naruto sighed.
"He almost comes in a tie with sadistic ness to that Ibiki." Naruto said suddenly he felt the weights gain a lot more weight. "OK OK!" The weights drained back to their normal weight as Naruto slowly stretched, he ran a couple laps around the training field. By the time he was done he was tired as hell, his muscles were soar but the Kyuubi was healing them. He quickly started on his jumping jacks ending at fifty and started on his pushups. He was nearing 25 when he felt weight get heavier.
"Nani? I'm still working?" Naruto yelled out still doing the pushups. Suddenly he looked up and saw Lee sitting on his back.
"YOSH! Kanichiwa Naruto-kun. I was asked by a Chuunin to come and help you with your training by sitting on your back, and then help you by sparing." Lee said in a matter of factly tone as Naruto continued to do his pushups through gritted teeth. 'Never mind he is in a tie in sadistic ness with Ibiki'. Naruto ended his pushups at 50 knowing he couldn't go anymore. Slowly Lee got off Naruto's back and helped him up, feeling the difference in weight.
"Ahh, I see why you needed help training, your wearing about 250k/g worth of weights." Lee said smiling.
"NANI! HE SAID IT WAS ONLY 100k/g IM GONNA KILL HIM!" Naruto screeched, he was about to storm off when Lee appeared in front of him and drove his foot into Naruto's jaw sending him backwards, Naruto flipped in the air and landed gracefully on his feet, but Lee didn't relent as he appeared in front of Naruto again and began his furious punching, Naruto dodged the first three and then started blocking. Naruto was looking for an opening in Lee's offence but found he couldn't see any, suddenly Naruto was kicked in the gut and then he felt Lee's fist connect with his jaw sending him flying backwards and landing in the ground.
"You are good Naruto to hold up against me for so long with that much weight, but you have to get better to match me in pure Taijutsu." Lee said with a smile, he walked over and helped Naruto up.
"Follow me Naruto, we will run a hundred laps around Konoha, but if we don't then we will do a thousand pushups, and if we…" Lee started his training regime but was interrupted.
"Ya ya, lets just go already Lee" Naruto sighed, he was too tired to argue. The two then began their laps around Konoha, Lee lagging behind to make sure Naruto could keep up. From the trees Akuma watched, he chuckled. He then looked down at his book and blush appeared on his face as he giggled. Akuma then disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Nara Household
"SHIKAMARU GET YOUR ASS UP!" a woman's voice screeched throughout the house. Shikamaru slowly awoke into a groggy state as he rolled over.
"Women are too troublesome." Shikamaru sighed as he slowly got dressed; he started to make his way groggily down stairs as he heard conversation. His dad was talking to and unrecognizable voice.
"So You are entering the Jounin Exams this year huh?" Nara Shikaku said.
"Hai, I believe I can do quiet well." Akuma said rubbing the back of his head. Shikamaru slowly came down to see the Chuunin his dad was talking to, the first thing he noticed is as his long sleeve shirt pulled back on the wrist he saw a summoning tattoo as he was scratching the back of his head. Shikamaru sighed.
"Do we have a mission?" Shikamaru asked tiredly
"No, I just wanted to ask you a few things" the man said, Shikamaru looked at him curiously.
"How troublesome" he said as he started to walk towards the door. The man got up and bowed to Shikaku.
Training Field 8
"So what is you wish?" Shikamaru asked curiously. The man opened his vest and reached for something, Shikamaru prepared himself, but suddenly the man took out a Shougi board.
"Wanna game? It's hard to find good players" the man said with a sigh. He sat down and set up the board. Shikamaru sighed and sat down.
"True it is hard to find players in Konoha" he said lazily. He yawned as he made the first move. The Chuunin looked up.
"By the way my names Akuma" he said moving one of his pieces.
"Mines Shikamaru" Shikamaru said now paying attention as Akuma had just taken one of his pieces.
"Shikamaru I was wondering if you would also be willing to accept a mission, it's a C-rank but I would pay you for it" Akuma asked as Shikamaru moved another piece.
"What are the details?" Shikamaru asked lazily as Akuma moved another piece. 'He's actually good". Shikamaru thought to himself as he moved a piece.
"Well it's a personal mission for you, I would like you to teach Naruto Shougi, and also how to use his head more in battle then his up front approach." Akuma asked.
"Hmm…How troublesome, fine fine, seeing how it's been a while since I have found such a good Shougi player….. I win in 5" Shikamaru said.
"Hai, I know, and thank you here is your first pay, I'll get Naruto to see you after he is done his training with Lee" Akuma said handing Shikamaru three thousand yen. (Not sure on Japanese currency).
"Fair enough" 'this guy is training Naruto to become a good shinobi, he's training his Taijutsu and then his brain, and I can only assume he's gonna train on Naruto's weaknesses.' Shikamaru thought lazily. He then laid back and looked at the clouds as Akuma disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Team 10 Training Ground
Lee And Naruto were yet again sparring, this time Lee had yet to hit Naruto, even though he was holding back Lee didn't think Naruto would be able to keep up this much this soon. Finally Lee saw an opening and ducked under Naruto's arm an punched Naruto in the rib and then spun around and put the heel of his foot into the middle of Naruto's chest sending Naruto stumbling backwards out of breath.
"Ahh you are doing well Naruto-kun" Akuma said walking into the field. Naruto looked over to Akuma.
"YOU LIED!" Naruto said throwing an accusing finger at Akuma.
"Would you have actually did my training if I had told you the real weight?" Akuma said lazily as he looked into his book and a faint blush appeared on his face.
"PERVERT!" Naruto screeched. Akuma flipped the page and looked up.
"What are you still doing here Naruto-kun? Aren't you supposed to be with Shikamaru? I could've sworn that if you didn't do what I said then it would be concluded as slacking off?" Akuma said lazily looking at Naruto. Naruto was about to yell but quickly thought of the consequence and quickly booted it out of the training field. Akuma put his book away and looked to Lee who was staring at him.
"Now as per the arrangement I teach you something very well, now this actually requires Chakra, and as I have found out you lack it. Now please do something, rotate your arms backwards then using one leg at a time kick foreword" Akuma said, Lee did as he was told hoping to learn a cool technique like Akuma promised. Akuma stared at Lee's stomach the entire time.
"Hmm… I see now" Akuma said as he walked forewords, he now stood in front of Lee. "This will hurt a little" Akuma said.
"What will?" Lee said but suddenly Akuma drove his hand into the middle of Lee's chest, put instead of a fist or open palm, Akuma had his fingers out in front of his hand hitting Lee in different spots of his chest. Lee flew to the ground as Akuma then put a hand down to help Lee up from the ground.
"What did you do that for, I wasn't even ready" Lee said.
"There now that you have your ability for chakra we shall begin" Akuma stated as he looked to Lee who looked at him stupidly.
"What do you mean I don't feel any different?" Lee said stretching his muscles.
"Lee, you have paid attention to Taijutsu your whole life, think about what you would do if you had Chakra," Akuma said. Lee thought about it for a second then looked at him.
"I'd use it to increase my speed." Lee said excitedly.
"Run around and think about your chakra and force it to your feet, then run" Akuma said. Lee looked at him still stupidly but did as he was told, he then ran around the training field, he counted how long it took him and realized his old record of 7.3 seconds was cut down to 4.2 seconds. He felt an odd feeling in his feet kind of like a tickling feeling but it seemed to increase his speed drastically. He forced more to his feet and though deeper about it but then found himself stumble and go face first into the ground, he slide more and more into the dirt until he stopped at Akuma's feet.
"That's what happens when you use to much chakra, then you have to lair it into the ground as well as using your feet or you'll just dig whole basically. But I will inform Gai to teach you on Chakra control after you learn this. Now he has told me you can open a few of the Celestial Gates correct?" Akuma said, Lee nodded and Akuma sighed.
"Ok, well the Celestial Gates when opened to a high extent forces high pressure and damage onto your organs, now what I will teach you is to wrap your chakra around your organs and instead of your organs taking the strain it will be the chakra, and this increases your ability to have the Gates opened longer, but it takes great amounts of stamina and chakra precision." Akuma said. "Think about your body, now once you have that visualized focus onto the inside of your body, your blood stream, your liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, spine, and muscles. Ok now force your chakra their, like you did with your feat, but do not put too much pressure ok otherwise you will crush your organs. Now ready" Akuma asked.
"Ready for what?" Lee started but Akuma drove his fist into Lee's stomach, Lee didn't even feel it, Akuma certainly did though, he pulled his hand back slowly, he gripped it with his other one.
"Ok now that you have learned that and I have shattered my hand, I'm gonna go tell Gai about your Chakra and then I'm going to go and get this healed. Now remember, this still takes quiet a bit of energy out of you when you combine this with the gates but it is your biggest triumph card. Practice your speed with weights, and even use your Chakra to create greater weight, but also use your chakra and distribute it beneath you to make sure you don't crush anything. This will train your chakra capacity and precision on using it, and it will also increase your speed and stamina, be careful though this is your best move it is also your worst weakness, it drains a lot so only use it in a losing battle" Akuma said through gritted teeth. He nodded to Lee as he then disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Gai, your student's chakra holes are open now, he's able to use it, now practice on his capacity and precision, I taught him a technique to help his better technique." Akuma said as he sat down at the bar with a cast on his hand. Gai looked at him curious and yet thankful.
"Thank you for that, but what happened to your hand" Gai asked.
"Your student is a natural with Chakra, he hardened his organs to the point of steel and I punched him in the stomach, I didn't think he would be that good just starting." Akuma said as he threw his hand up so the bartender saw him. Gai nodded.
"Thank you for that" Akuma nodded.
"So when do the others get here?" Akuma asked.
"Well we get here about now, and Kakashi will be here in a bout twenty minutes. Let's go grab a booth" Kurenai said with Asuma behind her, Gai and Akuma grabbed the three bottles of sake and headed over to the booth.
"So Akuma, the village is in a stir about the Jounin Exams at the end of the month. I wonder what you will have in store for us." Asuma asked taking a puff of his cigarette.
"Well you will just have to watch and find out, but I hope I can make a position with the ANBU." Akuma said taking a swig of his sake.
"Ya well, with what I have seen and heard so far I don't think you'll have trouble" Kurenai said.
"I hear there is even two Chuunin's entering from the Sound" Gai said bitterly as he too took a swig of sake.
"I will kill them" Akuma said with venom in his voice.
"Remind me why we even let them compete?" Kurenai asked.
"Because their technically a village" Answered Kakashi as he took a seat beside the group and pulled a shot glass out. Pouring himself a glass full everyone watched, waiting for him to pull his mask down.
"Hello Hokage-sama" Kakashi said looking out the window. Everyone's head turned to see no one standing there; when they turned back they saw Kakashi and his empty shot glass. "Oh my mistake" he said and smiled behind his mask. Everyone sighed.
"So how is my student doing?" Kakashi asked looking to Akuma.
"I put him on a new training regime to learn his father's techniques" Akuma said, everyone's jaw dropped.
"You told him?" Kurenai asked.
"No" Akuma said simply.
"Are you going too?" asked Asuma.
"No." Akuma answered again.
"Then you told him you would teach him Yondaime's Techniques?" Gai said loudly.
"No" Akuma again answered taking another sip of his Sake.
"He knew didn't he?" Kakashi asked.
"Hai, he overheard Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama" Akuma said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Its going to be difficult to teach him, what are you just gonna saw here is the scroll have fun reading?" Kurenai asked curiously.
"No" Akuma yet again answered boredly.
"Then how?" Asked Asuma, everyone but Kakashi leaned in as Akuma chugged down his shot glass.
"He's going to learn it himself, then teach Naruto, am I right?" Kakashi asked.
"Once again the Sharingan Kakashi is right" Akuma said rather boredly. Everyone let out a breath.
"You cant do that it was his fathers scroll, no one even knows where it is, its said that only the blood heir can find it, or that's how the rumor goes" Kurenai said.
"Oh you mean this?" Akuma said boredly as he pulled out a rather large scroll.
"You mean the scroll that the ANBU captain gave you, the one that gave you that was originally Sarutobi-sama?" Gai said rather astounded.
"Hai, and even if your other pupil Sasuke gets jealous he wont be able to copy this, you cant even do it can you Kakashi?" Akuma asked curiously.
"No, I don't have the speed and the Sharingan is two slow even with the third pin wheel to track it, no matter how hard Sasuke tries he will never be able to learn it" Kakashi stated.
"And after it is done I will let Naruto choose to burn it or keep it in a vault for his children." Akuma stated. "Anyway I best be going, see you all at the Jounin exams, I have been given leave till then to train. And tell Naruto if he slacks off and I find out when I get back ill add an extra forty laps around Konoha and an extra 300k/g." Akuma said looking at Kakashi. Kakashi merely nodded as Akuma disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"There is still something odd about him, like he knows something that we don't" Asuma said curiously. Kakashi sat in the seat Akuma was once in.
Time Jump
It had been three weeks since anyone had seen Akuma last, he had three days left before the Jounin Exams and everyone was in high anticipation of this match. Naruto was training long and hard in the morning till afternoon with Lee and then Shikamaru from noon till night. Naruto was guaranteed to fall into bed when he got home; it seems the Jounin's were also preparing their students for the Chuunin exams. Kakashi had taught Sasuke and Sakura a couple of things but mostly Sasuke his new Fire Jutsu, Katon: Ryuuka No Jutsu. Sakura had learned a powerful Genjutsu from Kurenai and had also started to master her Chakra precision. The other Genin cells had practiced long and hard on their weaknesses and strengths.
Day of Jounin Exams
Akuma slowly walked into the large arena, he had no time to be tardy as the exam was to start very soon, he ran through the empty hallways and burst through the doors just before they closed. He sighed in relief as he felt the doors close behind him, he then came face to face with death herself.
"ANKO? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Akuma yelled as he started moving backwards but found his escape route was blocked by the doors. Anko smiled sadistically.
"I'm your first examiner, and your late, tardiness gets punishment" Anko said with lightening fast reflexes whipped a kunai from her holder and threw it at Akuma, within the blink of an eye Akuma was gone replaced by a helpless Chuunin the Kunai cutting the side of his cheek. Akuma sighed as then turned around to face all the Chuunin's participating, all looking at him eyes wide, he forgot how fast he moved.
"what?" he said, they all just turned back to what they were doing. That was until Akuma's eyes rested on the Sound's two Chuunin. A growl formed as he was about to move Anko appeared beside him.
"Calm down, you'll have your chance you fail to notice that our first exam is fights to the death until there are 15 Chuunin left, right now we are at 45 you are bound to get one of them" Anko said with a yet seductive tone, Akuma shivered.
"fine" he said grumpily as he moved back and leaned against the wall.
"ALRIGHT FIRST MATCH!"Anko stood in the middle of the large arena. Two Names appeared on the large screen as the Hokage and a few other spectators watched from their seats. A Rain Chuunin and Grass Chuunin both leaped down from the fighters pit and stood in their battle stances.
"BEGIN!" Anko yelled as she leapt backwards. The match was surprisingly quick as the Rain-nin seemed to have the upper hand that was until the Grass-nin performed a Ninjutsu that vines grew from the ground and quickly wrapped around his opponent. The Rain-nin quickly surrendered after that as he found the Grass-nins kunai unpleasantly against his neck. The next match a Leaf-nin faced off against a Mist-nin, the Mist-nin's abilities were quickly found out as he grew cocky and spoke of himself being a master in silent killing, but being without your eyes isn't a good thing when facing off against an Inuzuka, the Konoha-nin quickly tracked down the Mist-nin and started using him as a pin cushion with Kunai's, for some reason the Inuzuka's dog was not allowed to participate this part of the exam.
The matches continued numerous Nins lost and others one, some of the outcomes were unexpected as numerous Nins showed their abilities to become Jounin's, some were thought to be quiet spectacular. But as fate decided to someone's misfortune and another's giddiest glee, a Sound-nin named Fuki Eika faced off against Akuma Enja.
Akuma stood glaring the Sound-nin down, he was wearing a Chuunin vest, grey pants with a kunai holder on his left leg, he wore black military type boots along with a grey shirt under his vest, his forehead protector was wrapped around his arm, and he had black hair and brown eyes that were grinning with cockiness. The Sound-nin grinned smugly; he summed Akuma up quiet quickly and drew the conclusion to this battle. It seemed the other Jounin's of Konoha and the Hokage paid attention to his match, Kakashi appeared up in the stands noticing he wasn't late for what was going to be a slaughter. Kurenai, Asuma, Gai, and Kakashi stood watching the two fighters. Anko sighed as she mumbled something, she leapt back.
"BEGIN!" she screeched, the Sound-nin removed three Shuriken and threw them at Akuma quickly, Akuma didn't move, the Shuriken seemed to go through Akuma as they embedded themselves in the wall behind him, everyone blinked in surprise.
"A Genjutsu?" Kurenai asked, Kakashi snorted.
"He's moving much to fast for the human eye to see, he dodged the kunai then got back into the exact same position making it seem like he didn't move at all" Gai said explaining Kakashi's grunt. But apparently the Sound-nin couldn't hear Gai's explanation as he was looking around quiet cautiously.
"KIRIGAKARU NO JUTSU!" Akuma yelled as suddenly the water vapor in the air became moist and slowly became fog covering the entire arena. No one could see five feet in front of them; all that was heard was Akuma's voice.
"Heart, Liver, Lung, Jugular, Spine, Kidney. These are the most basic things an assassin should know, but in my case I will pick you apart slowly for your home country made it this way" Akuma's voice rang out. The Sound-nin smirked.
"Fool though you are not able to be seen your hands are taking up making the seal to keep this Jutsu active, and though I cant see you my hearing is beyond perfect and I can hear your direct position" the Sound-nin said cockily.
"Really?" Akuma whispered down the Sound-nin's neck, the Sound-nin was shocked as he felt a small pain across his back. He flinched in pain as he couldn't hear Akuma, with the stinging pain in his back he couldn't concentrate.
"So much for good abilities, all for a Chuunin from sound, but then again I guess you guys can only kill when people are HELPLESS!" Akuma spat with venom as the Sound-nin felt another slash go across the back of his left Calf muscle. The Sound-nin gritted in pain.
"Now I will let yourself and the crowd see what I did to you" Akuma said as slowly the fog began to dissipate.
"You only hit me twice!" the Sound-nin said with a smirk.
"No, You only felt me hit you twice" Akuma bellowed, the Sound-nin seemed surprised and as the fog faded the crowd was now looking on a fairly cut up and battered Sound-nin, he had almost ten cuts across his back and arms, he even had one across his check and three on the back of his left leg. The Sound-nin seemed astonished as he now began to feel the pain; he dropped to his right knee as he found he could no longer stand.
"I give up" The Sound-nin was going to say, but he found he couldn't say anything; he looked to where Akuma was standing a few feet away.
"I did a sound barrier Jutsu around you personally." Akuma said answering the Nin's unasked question. Akuma slowly walked up and stood in front of the Sound-nin, he pushed his Katana out of the lock with his thumb as he then gripped the hilt, he slowly pulled it from it's sheath, the loud 'shink' sound was heard throughout the arena as Akuma stared into the nin's eyes evilly.
"When You See Orochimaru, let him know you can blame him for what I did to you" Akuma said as he then spun around removing the Sound-nin's head clean off, he raised his blade parallel to the ground as a single drop of blood dripped off, Akuma then sheathed his sword. He then looked to Anko.
"Winner Akuma Enja" she announced with a sigh, the Medic-nin's quickly came up and carted off the body, Akuma grabbed the Sound-nin head band and looked up to the fighters pit, the other Sound-nin looking down at him. Akuma glared at the nin as he crushed the headband with ease.
"You're next" he said bitterly as he threw the headband on the ground and spat on it.
OOC
So how'd you all like the second chapter? Well I know some of you may want me to continue my other one and I am but I need your opinions on what you think should happen on it, and I also need your reviews on this chapter. Now I'm trying to cut back on my Spelling errors and I'm hoping to do it as much as possible but so you know I'm getting names and such from limited resources and off the top of my head but other times I may just be really tired when writing. But anyways I hope you all like this Chapter, and just so you know Akuma wasn't using the Shushin No Jutsu (Body Flicker)
