Dual Blood
Don't own Naruto
#6
The sun came over the horizon. It's light revealed a ninja standing on top of the inn.
"I'm back in the sand," Naruto growled, "He's near. I can smell him " Naruto jumped
away.
"So the rumors were true. He's back," Temari said as she walked out of her hiding spot,
"Still as cute as before " Kankuro appeared from his hiding spot, looking annoyed. His puppet
was on his back like always.
"How the hell are we going to keep him and Gaara apart? The moment they see each
other they're still and rip each other apart," Kankuro grumbled, "This mission already a pain in
the ass and it just started--"
"It's better than trying to keep Gaara away from him " Temari snapped.
"That's your opinion. This guy is known for killing in the most brutal methods," Kankuro
growled but then faced his older sister. He started to get very scared.
"Okay... We are following Naruto GOT IT?" Temari practically bellowed. Kankuro
nodded like crazy.
'Never get between a girl and her crush ' Kankuro muttered.
***************************************************************************
"Have you seen Naruto?" Kakashi asked. Sakura shook her head while Sasuke didn't say
anything. They were standing in the lobby of the inn.
"He left earlier this morning. I bet he went to hunt down Gaara." Haku said. She was
lying on the bench. She turned to a sitting position on the bench.
"Gaara?" Kakashi asked.
"Gaara of the sand. Son of the Kazekage," Haku explained, "Gaara crippled one of
Naruto's original teammates and Naruto's after his blood "
'I want to kill three people.' Kakashi played back the memory from Naruto's
introduction. He had tried to get files on Naruto but expect for the skeleton info everything about
Naruto was classified.
"How powerful is this Gaara?" Kakashi asked. He noticed every Sand Nins shivered at
the name.
"Lets put it this way he's extremely powerful " Haku replied.
"Why are you here Haku?" Sakura asked.
"I got no missions for a while and I couldn't resist the Sand's market, they have really
good jewelry!" Haku practically squeaked with joy.
"I'm going to train." Sasuke said, "And leave me alone." He left before Sakura could say
a word.
"Come on and forget that idiot. Let's go shopping." Haku said as she grabbed Sakura and
dragged her out. Kakashi disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
******************************************************************************
"Where is he?" Naruto asked as he came to a stop on the roof, "Dammit. Is he gone? I
couldn't fight him yesterday with using so much chakra. Hmm? Waitaminute, someones
following me " Naruto turned and jumped to the side behind tall buildings. Temari and
Kankuro followed in the shadows. They jumped to the side to find no one. The siblings stood
side by side when a weight jumped onto them and held up a blade to their throats.
"Start talking. Why are you following me and where is Gaara?" Naruto whispered with a
dangerous tone. His voice filled their hearts with dread that only Gaara could do before.
"Eh . . .." Temari was frozen. Naruto's head snapped to the side to look at Temari's
direction. Temari held her breath. Naruto was actually looking past Temari.
"Found him!" Naruto growled then he jumped away.
"Dammit, He found Gaara " Kankuro cursed.
"Shit," Temari said through her teeth.
***************************************************************************
"What did I tell you Sakura? Sand's market is great for jewelry!" Haku happily said as
she looked through a merchant's necklace collection.
"Yeah I hope my mom likes the other necklace I got her " Sakura said as she held up
her small ruby necklace and looked through it.
"Sand sells crystal necklace rather cheap." Haku said as she paid for her sapphire
necklace. Haku went inside a tent that sold clothes as Sakura stood waiting out of the tent
admiring her necklace. She faintly heard gasping and muttering.
"Move out of my way." A voice commanded. Sakura looked away from her necklace and
saw a boy with red hair and strange mark on his forehead to the side. He had a huge gourd on his
back and his arms were crossed.
"It's a free sidewalk. Why don't you move?" Sakura said. She heard whispers and gasps.
"You're annoying," Gaara stated. His voice was cold and emotionless. Sakura felt
something crawling up her leg. Sakura quickly looked down thinking it was a bug but to find
sand was crawling up her leg. She screamed as she was raised into the air by the sand. Haku ran
out of the changing tent. She had on her normal clothes.
"Desert Gra-" Gaara started to say but a blast of wind then an explosion interrupt him.
"Flashy entrance " Haku shook her head as she crossed her arms. Naruto appeared in
front of Haku holding a shaken Sakura.
"Take Sakura and get out of here!" Naruto ordered. His eyes were hidden in the shadow
created by his hair. Haku nodded as she shook Sakura and a mirror was created out of thin air
and the trio disappeared, along with the mirror.
"Now for you," Naruto growled as he turned around to look Gaara in the eye. Gaara
didn't look too happy since he lost his kill and Naruto had appeared.
"Last time we draw in a fight. Let's see the result this time," Naruto said as slid his left
foot forward, "Bring it on."
***************************************************************************
"I am Kakashi Hatake. I am representing the leaf and the Hokage. I present you with the
scroll of the Ryu." Kakashi said in a respectful tone as he held out of the scroll with both hands.
"I thank you Kakashi." Kazekage said as he walked up to Kakashi and took the scroll.
Kazekage turned and handed it over to one of his servants. The servant bowed then left.
"Sir!" A Sand Chuunin ran in. The Kazekage didn't look please considering his lower
face was covered.
"What is this?" Kazekage ordered.
"Gaara and Naruto are battling it out in the market place right now!" The Sand Chuunin
practically gushed out. Kazekage looked at the Sand Chuunin and nodded. He disappeared in an
instant.
'Naruto! What is the heck is he doing!?' Kakashi thought and said, "If you excuse me.
Naruto is my student, I must go and stop him." Kazekage nodded and Kakashi disappeared too.
*****************************************************************************
A blast echoed through the village as Naruto was knocked back. Both fighters were a bit
dirty but not hurt at all.
"This is getting annoying." Gaara said as his shield moved down as weapons dropped to
the ground.
'That shield gotten even tougher than last time,' Naruto thought as he jumped back,
'Guess I have to use the Ryu Seal's abilities even if I burn out my arm,' Naruto started to unbind
his armlet. Naruto jumped high in the air and landed on a near by building.
"Hey Gaara. Consider yourself lucky to see what I'm about to use," Naruto announced as
he grabbed his left arm as he stretched it out. Red chakra appeared. It wasn't a crimson red or a
light red. It was a deep red.
"Show me what you have then I'll kill you." Gaara snarled.
****************************************************************************
"Why is it you gave the Sand the Ryu seal scroll?" Hatch asked.
"The Sand was having trouble with their dragon. The scroll will strengthen the relations
with the Leaf and Sand." Hokage explained.
"But Naruto's still young and I doubt he knows everything about his Seal," Hatch said.
"It's true Naruto is young and may not be able too use the full potential of Ryu seal
without dangerous side effects " Hokage said.
"Naruto's greatest skills are his greatness weakness," Hatch said, "But sir. You do think
sending Naruto with the scroll to the sand was smart? Considering Gaara is there, and they might
kill each other "
"Naruto is rather short tempered at times but Naruto need to learn there's a time and a
place for everything and not to rush into things " Hokage stated.
"My question then is will Naruto be able to survive? The Ryu abilities can burned out his
arm. His Sharingan can make him blind. His chakra control isn't even impressive." Hatch said,
"Can you sure Naruto's going to be ok?"
"Honestly. I don't know " Hokage answered.
***************************************************************************
"Ryu Fist strike!" Naruto yelled. The chakra around became a dragonhead as Naruto
charged. He ripped through a wall of sand that Gaara put up. Within a few feet the sand shield
came up.
"Take this!" Naruto yelled as he reeled back and punched the shield with his left arm. His
attack ripped through the shield like a hot knife and butter.
"Ah!" Naruto yelled as he pulled out his bloodily arm. The shield shot out and tried to
spike Naruto but Naruto jumped away. The shield came down to reveal Gaara holding his right
chest and shoulder as blood dripped from the wound.
"He's wounded Gaara!"
"He's not human!"
"He's incredible!" Varies yells came from the people who were still around.
'Shit. I never knew the full strength Ryu Fist strike would hurt this bad,' Naruto thought.
He had burned out his opening points with an overload of chakra from the dragon.
"Stop it now you two!" A voice came. Naruto looked at the Sand Jounin, 'Baki,' Naruto
was about to continue when Kakashi grabbed him and pulled him to the air. Naruto's right arm
wasn't strong enough alone to pushed Kakashi away.
"Why should I?" Gaara stated.
"The Chuunin exam is coming up. You can fight each other then ok?" Baki tried to
bargain with Gaara.
"Naruto. Why don't you find Sakura and Sasuke? I'm ordering you to train them for the
Chuunin exam. You're not doing any fighting with that busted arm." Kakashi said. Naruto's
growl was his only response.
"We'll finish this at another time," Gaara stated as he collected his sand and started to
walk away. Either were not in much condition to continue fighting. When Gaara was out of sight
Naruto was dropped to the ground. Naruto stared at Kakashi for a second then turned. He pulled
out a white cloth. He used it to a makeshift sling.
"Better find Sakura and Sasuke," Naruto said.
**************************************************************************
"What do you want?" Sasuke grumbled as Naruto appear. They were just outside the
Sand Village's walls out in the desert. Behind Naruto was Sakura.
"Kakashi told me to train you two. The Chuunin exams are coming up and he wants you
to be ready," Naruto snapped, in a very pissed off tone.
"What can you teach with one arm?" Sasuke said.
"A lot " Naruto said as Sasuke felt the cold blade of a kunai pressed to his neck. Naruto
was standing beside Sasuke.
"If you think you can kill Itachi in this state then forget it and leave it to me then,"
Naruto grinned. He knew that this would piss Sasuke off. Either Sasuke would train himself, or
be interested in what Naruto was offering. Sakura was easy to bring along.
"Ah!" Sasuke spun around with his kunai to find nothing but wind.
"I'm stronger, faster and more skilled than you." Naruto grinned behind Sasuke this time.
Sasuke turned but Naruto grabbed his armed hand and twisted Sasuke around. Then he kicked
the back of Sasuke' knees so Sasuke fell to his knees.
"I may be the same age as you, but I'm much more experienced you," Naruto said as he
let go, "And now. Let's get down to training. I want to test something " Naruto pulled off his
bag and pulled out something. He tossed it to Sakura. Sakura grabbed it and looked. It was a
strange white ball.
"Focus the chakra into your hand and try to balance it using your chakra in the air,"
Naruto explained as he held up a ball, "It's a test of chakra control. My control is isn't even
good. Too little and the ball doesn't float. Too much..." Naruto focused chakra into the ball and
it shot out of his hand like a rocket. Sakura focused her chakra and the ball float up with no
trouble.
"Perfect control," Naruto said, impressed, "Let's see how long you can keep it up "
About 10 minutes the ball dropped. Sakura's arm was hurting from the inside.
"Don't worry about it, it's not permanent. Now throw the ball to Sasuke, I don't have
another one." Naruto said as Sakura tossed the ball to a bored Sasuke, "Lets see you try." Sasuke
growled as he tried. The ball floated up and up until it rolled to the side.
"You place control then but. You waste only about 25% converted chakra " Naruto
grinned again.
"What's the point of this?" Sasuke snapped, already pissed off.
"Chakra control is an important part of jutsu. You channel chakra through seal to use
jutsu but you can waste chakra if you don't control it right. In battle every drop of Chakra may
decide between life and death," Naruto explained, "When you're out of chakra, you're dead.
Period."
"You said you had bad control so how can you win fights if chakra control is so
important?" Sakura asked. Naruto laughed a bit.
"You convert stamina into chakra. My stamina is off the scale. I have one of the worse
chakra control in the history of the Leaf. I train to control it better when I can " Naruto
explained, "Let me think. Sakura. You have perfect control but low stamina. Sasuke. You have
good overall control and have more stamina. Let me think,"
'This is a new Naruto,' Sakura thought as Naruto thought out loud, 'When we were
training Naruto fooled around a lot. On this mission he been dead serious. I think I like this
Naruto better but still. Sasuke can't be beaten in looks '
"I got it!" Naruto yelled as he jumped up. He threw his right hand into the air, "Wait a
minute. Sasuke!"
Sasuke looked up from leaning against a sand dune.
"You need to train your taijutsu," Naruto said, "The worst match up for a Sharingan is a
taijutsu specialist. The eyes are quicker than the body but the body can be faster than another "
Sasuke didn't understand, and it showed on his face.
"Even if you see it if your body isn't fast enough to react then you're screwed " Naruto
explained once seeing the puzzled look on Sasuke's face.
"How do you know?" Sasuke asked.
"I have my ways. My old guardian was a Uchiha," Naruto explained, "She explained a
lot to me. Okay... I'll make a bunshin for you to fight and train with," Naruto painfully pulled up
his arm. He made a few quick seals. Then there was a cloud of smoke. Two bunshins appeared.
"You can train with these two. They have weighed down clothes so you should be a bit
faster," Naruto stated. Sasuke didn't move.
"How about this? Survive the day and I'll teach you some powerful jutsu," Naruto
offered. Sasuke looked at Naruto then snorted, clearly believing that fighting some bunshins
weren't worth his time.
"Not all jutsu can be copied by the Sharingan," Naruto said, "Okay... If you want to it the
hard way " Naruto looked at his clones. They grinned as they both jumped at Sasuke. Sasuke
jumped away as the two Naruto ran after him.
"They should keep him busy," Naruto stated, "Now for you Sakura. Considering your
chakra, Defensive jutsu are best - Barrier and genjutsu jutsus. I can only do one hand seal but
you know all of the seals right?" Sakura nodded. She was interesting in Naruto's teaching.
"This kind of jutsu isn't my strong point but I know some. Okay, let's start " Naruto
said.
******************************************************************************
*
"You think Naruto will be a good teacher?" Kakashi asked. He was sitting across from
Haku.
"Naruto should be teaching right now as a Jounin but you can't take the Chuunin without
a team and the only other team Naruto was part of it is gone," Haku said, "I'm someone who
doesn't want to be on Naruto's target list like Gaara. Naruto is more than willing to sacrifice his
health to kill anyone on his target list "
"Sacrifice his health?" Kakashi asked, "I know that the Red Cross is deadly but Naruto
didn't seem to have trouble with it "
"I mean the Sharingan and Ryu Seal. Those are his greatest strength but his greatest
weakness. On the way here Naruto used the battle as a test for the Mange Sharingan and Ryu
Seal," Haku said.
"Naruto is very dangerous isn't he?" Kakashi asked.
"I heard rumors saying that he's a new Itachi. He graduated to Genin when he was 9.
Two years older than Itachi when he did," Haku said, "He's second in command of the Anbu,
Assassination and Hunter squads at the age of 12. He mastered the Mange Sharingan.
Everyone's more scared that he'll go missing "
"I'm wondering if I can teach Naruto anything. We're leaving tomorrow " Kakashi
said.
"Maybe or maybe not. Naruto is mystery to a lot of people. Even all of his closest friends
barely know anything before they met him," Haku said, "About Naruto, one fact is always true.
Naruto is strong and still 'evolving',"
******************************************************************************
*
Sakura was trying to master the genjutsu that Naruto showed her as Naruto practice one
arm combat in the sand.
"The taijutsu in sand isn't great. The sand gives way if you don't push off the right way.
The sand clings to my shoes and pant legs " Naruto says, but notices something. His sense of
smell and his sight was being mixed up. He smelled Sakura behind him but he saw Sakura still
trying to train. Naruto grinned.
"Not bad but the genjutsu doesn't work on me," Naruto said. The genjutsu was loop back
called Cycle Camera. You cause a person to see the same image over and over like a looped
movie. You can project the image from any direction.
"You mastered it I see. Time for the barrier jutsu," Naruto said.
******************************************************************************
*
Sasuke was knocked back. Sasuke got back to his feet. All of this time Sasuke had
destroyed one Kage Bunshin but he was getting tried. He had used the Sharingan but the clones
were too fast for him to strike back. Sasuke could feel he was getting a work out. The clones
attacked faster then he could make seals forcing him to rely on taijutsu.
"Dammit. Naruto was right. They're too fast to counter. I can copy their movements and
use it," Sasuke said to himself, "But as I copied movements it changes bit by bit. They get
stronger each time. What kind of style is this?"
"I call it Circle Fist," Naruto said. Sasuke looked around. He noticed it was sunset. It had
taken him an entire day to defeat one clone? Sasuke wasn't in the best of moods.
"Come on. The desert is freezing at night time," Naruto said as he held out his hand to
the resting Sasuke. The clone disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Sasuke just stood up ignoring
Naruto's hand. Sasuke walked toward the village. Naruto glared at Sasuke's back then turned
around.
'Calm down That bastard isn't enough to be on your "People To Kill" list. Focus on
Gaara. The Chuunin are coming meaning and Gaara would be there. Time to settle the scores
then,' Naruto thought as he brought up his left arm over his right shoulder, 'Then it'll be Itachi
and Orochimaru's turn,' Naruto swung his arm as a red blade flew out. It ripped a 2 foot deep
gash in the sand.

growled as he tried. The ball floated up and up until it rolled to the side.
"You place control then but. You waste only about 25% converted chakra " Naruto
grinned again.
"What's the point of this?" Sasuke snapped, already pissed off.
"Chakra control is an important part of jutsu. You channel chakra through seal to use
jutsu but you can waste chakra if you don't control it right. In battle every drop of Chakra may
decide between life and death," Naruto explained, "When you're out of chakra, you're dead.
Period."
"You said you had bad control so how can you win fights if chakra control is so
important?" Sakura asked. Naruto laughed a bit.
"You convert stamina into chakra. My stamina is off the scale. I have one of the worse
chakra control in the history of the Leaf. I train to control it better when I can " Naruto
explained, "Let me think. Sakura. You have perfect control but low stamina. Sasuke. You have
good overall control and have more stamina. Let me think,"
'This is a new Naruto,' Sakura thought as Naruto thought out loud, 'When we were
training Naruto fooled around a lot. On this mission he been dead serious. I think I like this
Naruto better but still. Sasuke can't be beaten in looks '
"I got it!" Naruto yelled as he jumped up. He threw his right hand into the air, "Wait a
minute. Sasuke!"
Sasuke looked up from leaning against a sand dune.
"You need to train your taijutsu," Naruto said, "The worst match up for a Sharingan is a
taijutsu specialist. The eyes are quicker than the body but the body can be faster than another "
Sasuke didn't understand, and it showed on his face.
"Even if you see it if your body isn't fast enough to react then you're screwed " Naruto
explained once seeing the puzzled look on Sasuke's face.
"How do you know?" Sasuke asked.
"I have my ways. My old guardian was a Uchiha," Naruto explained, "She explained a
lot to me. Okay... I'll make a bunshin for you to fight and train with," Naruto painfully pulled up
his arm. He made a few quick seals. Then there was a cloud of smoke. Two bunshins appeared.
"You can train with these two. They have weighed down clothes so you should be a bit
faster," Naruto stated. Sasuke didn't move.
"How about this? Survive the day and I'll teach you some powerful jutsu," Naruto
offered. Sasuke looked at Naruto then snorted, clearly believing that fighting some bunshins
weren't worth his time.
"Not all jutsu can be copied by the Sharingan," Naruto said, "Okay... If you want to it the
hard way " Naruto looked at his clones. They grinned as they both jumped at Sasuke. Sasuke
jumped away as the two Naruto ran after him.
"They should keep him busy," Naruto stated, "Now for you Sakura. Considering your
chakra, Defensive jutsu are best - Barrier and genjutsu jutsus. I can only do one hand seal but
you know all of the seals right?" Sakura nodded. She was interesting in Naruto's teaching.
"This kind of jutsu isn't my strong point but I know some. Okay, let's start " Naruto
said.

"You think Naruto will be a good teacher?" Kakashi asked. He was sitting across from
Haku.
"Naruto should be teaching right now as a Jounin but you can't take the Chuunin without
a team and the only other team Naruto was part of it is gone," Haku said, "I'm someone who
doesn't want to be on Naruto's target list like Gaara. Naruto is more than willing to sacrifice his
health to kill anyone on his target list "
"Sacrifice his health?" Kakashi asked, "I know that the Red Cross is deadly but Naruto
didn't seem to have trouble with it "
"I mean the Sharingan and Ryu Seal. Those are his greatest strength but his greatest
weakness. On the way here Naruto used the battle as a test for the Mange Sharingan and Ryu
Seal," Haku said.
"Naruto is very dangerous isn't he?" Kakashi asked.
"I heard rumors saying that he's a new Itachi. He graduated to Genin when he was 9.
Two years older than Itachi when he did," Haku said, "He's second in command of the Anbu,
Assassination and Hunter squads at the age of 12. He mastered the Mange Sharingan.
Everyone's more scared that he'll go missing "
"I'm wondering if I can teach Naruto anything. We're leaving tomorrow " Kakashi
said.
"Maybe or maybe not. Naruto is mystery to a lot of people. Even all of his closest friends
barely know anything before they met him," Haku said, "About Naruto, one fact is always true.
Naruto is strong and still 'evolving',"

Sakura was trying to master the genjutsu that Naruto showed her as Naruto practice one
arm combat in the sand.
"The taijutsu in sand isn't great. The sand gives way if you don't push off the right way.
The sand clings to my shoes and pant legs " Naruto says, but notices something. His sense of
smell and his sight was being mixed up. He smelled Sakura behind him but he saw Sakura still
trying to train. Naruto grinned.
"Not bad but the genjutsu doesn't work on me," Naruto said. The genjutsu was loop back
called Cycle Camera. You cause a person to see the same image over and over like a looped
movie. You can project the image from any direction.
"You mastered it I see. Time for the barrier jutsu," Naruto said.

Sasuke was knocked back. Sasuke got back to his feet. All of this time Sasuke had
destroyed one Kage Bunshin but he was getting tried. He had used the Sharingan but the clones
were too fast for him to strike back. Sasuke could feel he was getting a work out. The clones
attacked faster then he could make seals forcing him to rely on taijutsu.
"Dammit. Naruto was right. They're too fast to counter. I can copy their movements and
use it," Sasuke said to himself, "But as I copied movements it changes bit by bit. They get
stronger each time. What kind of style is this?"
"I call it Circle Fist," Naruto said. Sasuke looked around. He noticed it was sunset. It had
taken him an entire day to defeat one clone? Sasuke wasn't in the best of moods.
"Come on. The desert is freezing at night time," Naruto said as he held out his hand to
the resting Sasuke. The clone disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Sasuke just stood up ignoring
Naruto's hand. Sasuke walked toward the village. Naruto glared at Sasuke's back then turned
around.
'Calm down That bastard isn't enough to be on your "People To Kill" list. Focus on
Gaara. The Chuunin are coming meaning and Gaara would be there. Time to settle the scores
then,' Naruto thought as he brought up his left arm over his right shoulder, 'Then it'll be Itachi
and Orochimaru's turn,' Naruto swung his arm as a red blade flew out. It ripped a 2 foot deep
gash in the sand.
