Chapter three of Whirlwind of Fate

"You were saying?",Naruto said with grin to Sai as the huge snake roared menacingly."Alright already,let's get this over with!",Sai said annoyed as he pulled out his two swords and got into stance."You think you can take this thing,kid?",Sai said teasing."Of course!Especially with my new weapon,Sewerchi or something!",Naruto said as he ran towards the snake and jumped to it,sword up ready to slash down."It's Suichi,dumbass!",Sai yelled.

"Does it matter as long as I kill the snake?"Naruto said facing Sai then turned to the snake only to find a hole in the spot the snake was."Where is it?",Naruto said puzzled as he landed in front of the hole.DUMBASS!Doesn't that idiot know the snake will come back any second,Sai thought racing to Naruto."Hey Sai,you know where the snake is?",Naruto asked before Sai pushed him away and Naruto landed ten feet away,while Sai was in the spot Naruto used to be in.

"Hey,next time you summon me remind me to punch you.",Sai said with a wierd grin."Why-"Naruto asked before Sai was launched upwards by the snake,then every thing went into slow-motion.The snake opening and catching Sai in it's mouth,then bitting into him.Hearing Sai's scream of pain,when finally he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The snake,angry that it's meal disappeared,turned towards Naruto.Naruto's eyes were turning a blood-red.His whisker-marks were getting deeper.

"No I won't use the Kyuubi to beat it.I'll use my own strength.",Naruto said as he went back to normal.He took Suichi and raised it.For Sai,Naruto thought as he ran to the snake.Holding the sword carefully he formed the seals and shouted,"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!",forming four clones in front of him.

Let's finish this,Naruto thought as his clones jumped forward to the snake,kunai out and stabbed at the snake's neck.The snake roared and slammed it's neck to the ground,making the clones disappear.Now's my chance,Naruto thought as he jumped to the snake ready to thrust through it's head.The snake lifted up his head causing Naruto to stab it's neck.

"Still not dead yet,eh?",Naruto said as he used chakra to stick to the snake's vertical neck and pulled out his sword."Alright I'll have to use the technique Sai taught me.

Flashback:"Looks like you've mastered the seals to summon and banish Suichi.",Sai said as Naruto summoned the mystical sword once again."Yeah,I'm pretty talented aren't I.",Naruto said praising himself."Don't get too cocky,now.Say what, I'll teach you a technique that'll prove you have some talent if you master it.The origin of this technique is simple.Frogs and snakes have always been mortal enemies.When we fought against each other it was incredibly difficult to sink our blades deep enough into their bodies because of their scales.

The jutsu gathers chakra into the blade and once enough is gathered the chakra becomes explosive and you release the chakra,creating the explosion.",Sai finished as Naruto snored loudly."What the fuck are you doing kid?Did you even hear me?",Sai shouted at Naruto,waking him. "Uhhh...something about frogs getting their asses kicked by snakes.",Naruto said.

"I'm gonna enjoy this.",Sai with one of his swords out and pointing it at him."Hey why are you pointing that sword at me?",Naruto asked,while backing away."I'll show you who's gonna get their ass kicked!",Sai yelled.

:End Flashback

I haven't mastered it yet but for Sai I will!",Naruto shouted as he formed his favorite seal and shouted,"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!",and formed a clone.They both ran up the snake's body and when Naruto said,"Now!",as he jumped upwards with his clone who grabbed Naruto arm,spun him around and threw him towards the snake's mouth.

Alright.I need to focus. I can do this,Naruto as the blade begin to glow red as he sped towards the snake.The snake opened it's mouth and jumped to Naruto,catching him in it's mouth."Crap,this is bad.",Naruto said as held the snake's mouth open but it was slowly closing.Finally it closed almost all the way when Naruto's clone jumped up threw shuriken in the hole before it disappeared causing it to roar in pain,opening it's mouth.

It's suddenly looked at it's mouth to see a blood-drenched blonde ninja with a white-hot blade say with a smile,Die bitch!",as he thrust his sword through the snake's head from it's mouth."Blade Explosion",he said quietly and was blown away from the explosion that happened. The sword disappeared when Naruto ran out of chakra.Naruto who was still flying through the air thought,I did it.I beat that snake.Sai thanks,as he faded out of conciousness.

After a while two ANBU members waited until a third appeared."Status report of the Forest",said one of the masked ninja."Everything is in order.There are no mass gatherings of high-level beasts in the forest,no hole in our defenses in the forest of death.There is one exception,though.Uzumaki Naruto is at the forbidden area of the forest and his chakra signal is weak.",said the one who just returned.

"He's in the forbidden?The area which 7 known ninja disappeared and never returned,ranging from chunin to ANBU operatives!",questioned the man who seemed to be the leader."Yes sir,should we rescue him?",asked the subordinate."No",said the silent third one."Why should we let a demon who won't listen to the warnings of his elders live?",said the third one."You mean...?",said the subordinate."Yes. That boy is the demon vessel.You weren't there but many people died because of what's in that boy.We'll just leave him there.His own damn fault he went there.",the leader said as they left.

"Where am I?",Naruto said as he looked around.He was in a green grassy field that looked beautiful.Wild flowers were in their bloom.The place was almost holy."Whoaa!",the demon vessel said amazed at the beauty."Wow,this place is awesome!",Naruto said."Yes.It is isn't it.",said a voice."Who's there?",Naruto asked as he turned to find a silvered-haired,soft blue-eyed pretty boy with a black cloak and pants covering him. Naruto could tell he looked around his age."Who are you?",he demanded in a snobby tone.

"It's common curtsy to tell your name first?",Naruto said trying to imitate Sasuke's line when he met Neji but failing miserably."I think the word your trying to say is courtesy,buffoon.",said the man."Oh yeah I am.Wait...not that I'm a buffoon.Arrgg!Forget it!If you want to know my name it's Uzumaki Naruto!",Naruto said throughly confused."I suppose I should tell mine.",the man said.After a minute Naruto said,"Aren't you going say it?"."I guess being near you your obvious stupidety is rubbing off on me,but anyway my name is Damian Black.",he said with no emotion.

"Anyway want do you want?I'm trying to train.",Naruto said annoyed at him."You don't know where you are,do you?",Damian asked suprised."What's it to you?",he said getting angrier."You're in a forbidden area of the forest.The place where seven known ninja and one unknown ninja died,trying to complete the "Three Trails of Fate". Anyone who comes here will fight a servant of the Goddess of Fate.If they manage to win against him they will be pulled into the place Xantha resides and will begin the trails.",Damian finished.

"Well I don't see anyone.Are you sure that's true?",Naruto said looking around."Yes I'm sure.You know why?",he said as Naruto turned to face and dodged a sword swipe.He turned to see Damian holding a long sword in his hand."Because I'm the servant of Xantha.",Damian said coldly."Huh,what do you mean?",Naruto asked confused."I am Xantha's,the Goddess of Fate,loyal vassel.Anyone who comes here I must battle to see if they are worthy of undertaking the trails.",he said as rushed towards Naruto,sword at his side and jumped.

As Naruto watched come down his thoughts flashed befored him that instant.He really means to kill me.Can I beat him.When I think about this is my first life-death siutation alone.No Sasuke,Kakashi,or Sakura to save me.Am I going to die?,Naruto thought as the blade was inches from his face.NO,Naruto as he opened his closed eyes to find himself holding Suichi,blocking Damian's sword."How?",Damian asked furious."I shall help whoever is my master",Suichi said glowing."Master Uzumaki,please use me as you see fit",Suichi echoed.

"Alright.I won't back down,Damian!",Naruto shouted rushing at Damian,slashing sideways.Damian blocked and with his free hand blasted a gust of wind,saying"Wind Blast",blowing Naruto away."That is the power of the gods.Do you truly think you can beat that?"Wiping blood coming from his mouth he said simply,"I don't care whether it's power of the greatest god or demon.I'll still beat you!",he said determined as he got up."You don't know when to give up,do you?",Damian said annoyed."I'm not very good at that.",Naruto said with a smile as he readied his sword."Then die!",he said as he appeared before Naruto slashed downwards onlyed to be blocked by Naruto.

"Huh-",before he could finish his sentenced he was interruppted by Naruto punching him,sending him flying."Don't underestimate me.",he said breathing heavily from adrenaline."You managed to hit me.""Yeah,not used it?",Naruto said smiling. Damian touched his face to find himself bleeding."You may be able to take the trails,but you'll have to become much stronger.""Well I was strong enough to beat you.",Naruto bragged about.Suddenly Damian's chakra level exploded,his wound instantly healing.

"You really thought that was my all?",he said exploding with power.Such power!,Naruto thought as Suichi disappeared.He made Suichi disappear,he thought shocked.Suddenly Damian was in front of him.With a quick karate chop to his neck he knocked him out.Right before Naruto went to sleep he heard Damian murmer,"Please be the one who'll save your world.

When Naruto woke up he found himself on the outskirts of a town.With the wind blowing in his hair his only words was this."WHERE THE HELL AM I!"

Would you consider that a cliffhanger?Anyway thank you for reading this chapter and putting up with
