Author's note: Hey guys back again with the new chapter, I'm gonna be starting the chunin exam arc soon, probably get into it a bit this chapter but for sure next chapter will be the first part if I don't get to it in this one.
Naruto stared down Hiashi extremely uncomfortable not knowing what more to say. "I see" Hiashi said before biting into his meal, Naruto now starting to heave into the food as a nervous habit, sweat dripping down his brow. "That was a very… interesting mission to say the least. But even I can tell you left a few things out, how exactly did you meet this Arashi character? I can tell something about him is off. I wish to know more" Hiashi said as his white eyes seem to stare into Naruto's soul just waiting for him to slip up.
Naruto swallowed his bite nervously before speaking, "Well you see when I found him I found out something about myself that I wasn't supposed to know" Naruto said as Hiashi's eyebrow raised in confusion, awaiting an answer. "I found him in the destroyed ruins of Uzushiogakure by mistake when I was swept up there from a strong whirlpool. Turns out I'm from royal blood there, my mother her name was Kushina, a shinobi here I'm not sure if you knew her or not. But she was a princess in the village, next in line to rule, me being her son makes me the next leader of the destroyed village." Naruto finally finished letting out the breath of air he didn't realize he was holding in.
"Again, very interesting. You sure are Konoha's number one most unpredictable ninja Naruto-san. To think that you had done so much in such a short time it's… very impressive." Hiashi said, extremely impressed with what the young boy had done. "Well it is growing late you should probably-" Hiashi was about to end dinner when there was a knock on the dining room door. The man sighed, "Excuse me one moment"
Hiashi got up and quickly answered the door, trying to be haste. After a few moments hiashi returned, "Well it's a good thing you're dressed up Naruto-san. The Hokage is calling for a meeting, and you're the topic, my servant is telling the anbu to not look for you, I said I would escort you myself."
Naruto groaned, he didn't think it would happen this soon. He can't even bring Arashi since he doesn't know where the man is. Naruto got up though, "We shouldn't keep the hokage waiting than let's get going" Naruto said before following in Hiashi's lead.
Hiashi could only wonder what the meeting was gonna show. The fact that it had to do with the boy in front of him… He could only wonder. The man looked down at Naruto he knew this was going to be an interesting evening. The fact that the hokage was calling an emergency meeting, and on the boy and only him. This is probably going to be a long night.
It didn't take long but the two finally arrived at the meeting room. Hiashi opened the door, ushering Naruto in, in front of the man. Naruto walked in and then Hiashi, the man was surprised to see that the two were the last two their. "Took you two long enough to join us, and here I thought the Uchiua would be the last to join us" Hiruzen said jokingly as he takes a long smoke from his pipe. Hiashi went to his seat, but Naruto kind of stood awkwardly. It took the kage a minute before he realized, "Oh yes Naruto, go stand at the head their" The kage pointed with his pipe.
Naruto got up and walked over to the spot, he felt weird having the spotlight on him. Almost everyone in that room spare two people knew what was going on today. "So hokage-sama, what exactly is going on why have you called this meeting" the man stopped for a moment thinking carefully, "About this particular boy" A random civilian head said.
"Thanks you for asking, now everyone if I may get your attention. Today's matter is of great importance, recently young Naruto-san was on a mission. During mission he found out about part of his heritage, something that wasn't much of a secret to begin with but everyone still overlooked. Naruto found Uzushiogakure by chance, and within that village he found a clan member. A man named Arashi Uzumaki, the same man who once trained Kushina Uzumaki before she moved to our village." People started to think now, everyone knew Naruto held the last name Uzumaki but with his bright blond hair no one thought it was true. Spare Hiashi, only because of his teammate being one Minato Namazike, did he know the truth. Sasuke, no one was sure why exactly he was their, was thinking to himself that this wasn't exactly news. He was there, and he didn't think there was anything special about Naruto being an Uzumaki.
"As many of you know here, and what others are about to find out, is that the Uzuamki are just as important if not more important than the Uchiha were to finding and keeping this village." People were in outrage, Sasuke was seething, no way could this be true. He refused to believe, people were yelling and shouting demanding proof, most of these people were civilians, the shinobi side understood this to be true, though they also did fail to see how they could be more important than the Uchiha they do understand the significance of the name.
Hiashi put his hand up getting everyone's attention, and getting everyone to shut up. "Let our kage speak, what he has to say may just be important" Everyone quickly calmed down, When the Hyuuga head spoke, people tended to give him the space and room to talk out of respect. Sasuke still being young knew better than to speak out yet. As much as he wanted to say something he knew he had to watch his tongue, politics was never his specialty and he knew he had to learn first before he fucked up.
"Thank you Hiashi, now for those of you who don't know, the Uzumaki helped our first hokage along with Madara Uchiha find the village. The Uzuamki were offered a place to live here but there clan was so large they had an entire island of a country for themselves so they peacefully declined. But the Uzumaki provided this village with seals of extraordinary power to help put the village together. They helped guard the Uchiha and Senju as the two clans came together to build these walls. They gave us the ability to make the village, and the power to protect it. The swirl on the jounin and chunin vest is the trademark of the Uzumaki. The clan was feared and renowned for their ability of using sealing jutsu, more so than the fourth hokage or even Jiraiya of the Sanin." This got people's heads start turning as they started to piece it all together. "The Sarutobi clan being the first to join this village new all about this, and like Naruto-san here we are also down to just a few members because of the great ninja wars. Naruto's people were destroyed in the second great war when the combined might of three of the five great villages attacked them altogether. With the combined might of three great villages Uzishoagkure was destroyed. We tried to aid them but our forces were spread too thin, but because of the villages using such a large force of shinobi to attack the village, that is what gave us the ability to win. To many shinobi's lives were destroyed, and even a kage was killed in that battle. The Uzumaki were that strong, and their sealing ability was so powerful that no one can even riad their village to try and poch jutsu and secrets because its all sealed." Hiruzen took a break too breath and smoke while everyone thought over what was said.
"So what now, that was a nice history lesson Hokage-sama but what is the reason behind it?" One of the advisors said hoping to get answers and not more history.
"Well as I just explained the Uzumaki were a great help to this village, even now they have a compound here that has been untouched since the sealing array kept around the house keeps it in place until the seal is opened. Even I cannot open it, only Naruto or his friend Arashi who came back to the village with the boy could. So the meaning behind all of this" Hirizen took a smoke to let the suspense hang in the air on purpose, "Is to reinstate the Uzumaki as a clan with Naruto as clan head" The entire room broke out with people yelling and shouting.
Hiruzen was letting everyone get it out of their system, even some of the shinobi were arguing about the pros and cons of this. After a few minutes Hiruzen put his hand up again, people knowing better than to anger the kage let the talking cease as he spoke again. "Now I'm going to do something unique, usually we all yell at each other for hours on end until we come to a conclusion, but for the sake of time we're gonna do this differently. We're gonna go around the room letting everyone speak their piece one at a time and then vote together on this. We will start with the civilian side, since there are more of you, you will each one at a time to speak until we get all the way around the table. Than Naruto will speak and then we will vote, so now Kato-san you start" Hiruzen said handing the spotlight off to the man to his right.
"I understand why you hold the Uzumaki in such high regard hokage-same, but why make this boy the clan head when we can make the Uzumaki who came with him clan head" The man more so asked a question then gave any real piece, but his words heald truth.
"That is because Naruto knows this village better than his family member, also Arashi is under Naruto. Just like the Hyuuga have a main family and branch family, Arashi so to speak is the branch side of the Uzumaki while Naruto would be considered the main family. He's the prince of the Uzuamki" Hiruzen said shocking many people. The man now had nothing more to say but passed off the spotlight to the women to his right.
"Haruno you may speak," Kato said.
"I honestly have no problem with making the Uzumaki a clan again, if you had asked a few months or even weeks ago I would have been against it. But now, after Naruto-san has been on the same team as my daughter I can see he is not as bad as people make him out to be. So I'm all for Naruto being clan head" the Haruno head said, shocking people.
Hiruzen smiled and looked at the next person allowing them to speak up. "Well if I'm being honest, the Uzumaki had their chance at becoming a part of this village, so I'm against it, plus we don't need a boy like him being a clan head," the man said, the next 5 or 6 civilians were about the same. Only one other civilian was on Naruto's side.
"Inuzuka-san you're up" Hiruzen said hoping to get real conversations out now instead of people bashing Naruto to his face.
"Thank you hokage-sama. Now as many know I believe in protecting the pack, and i'm a little iffy on the subject. On the one hand bringing Naruto in as a clan head would show that the village is honoring the Uzumaki clan as it should have done long ago, they have a compound but they have never had a seat on this council. Bringing him in and accepting him officially could also bring in a horde of valuable jutsu to the village, though what Naruto and Arashi-san decide to do with it is up to them, they don't have to share it." Hiruzen smiled liking where this was going, until Tsume put her hand up. "But on the same hand accepting them as apart of this village could also start up problems with the other villages, we have peace among the five nations right now, who knows what problems this could potentially start up. If bringing them in as an accepted clan starts more problems than I for one would be completely against it."
"You point out some good things Tsume, I will talk more about that, but for now let us hear from Hatake-san. He is also the last of his clan, but his words are also important" Hiruzen said, hoping he was right.
Kakashi waved his hand, "Meh I'm all for the boy becoming a clan head, I've met Arashi and fought the man. He is very talented had the man used fuin jutsu against me he would have won the battle easy, luckily he was following Naruto's orders and kept it a friendly spare and not a fight to the death. Naruto is better than most people give hime credit for so my vote is for him" Kakashi said, even though it wasn't time to vote yet he made it clear what he was going to do.
"Now before we move on many people here are wondering why Uchiha-san is here though he is so young. He needs to start doing his duty to his clan, and this is one of those duties. He needs to start taking on the responsibilities as clan head which is why not only will he get a vote today he will also get a say, so Sasuke-san when you are ready to speak, speak your piece." Hiruzen said.
Sasuke sat thinking for a few minutes before he finally spoke up. "I'm not too sure what to say if i'm being honest. Me and Naruto have a unique relationship, we are rivals as he says. Though he won't admit I'm better than him" Naruto and the boy both smiled a little at this statement, Naruto could tell Sasuke was making a joke, some of the adults saw this and smirked too. "But honestly I don't even think that I'm ready to be on this council or even ready to lead a clan even if I am the only member. Naruto isn't all that smart but he is a good guy, and he's strong, I won't lie if not for him I probably would be dead right now. I don't know too much about politics, I have a lot to learn, so I would have to make a guess based on my own personal feelings like most people will probably do. I don't know why so many people have a vendetta against Naruto, my own vendetta is one built on personal reasons. But I know exactly what I will do and what my vote will be, thank you for letting me speak Hokage-sama" Sasuke said trying to be professional but also letting people see that he is a novice at this.
"Thank you for speaking your piece, ok you may speak now Akimichi-san" Hiruzen said giving the light to the AKimichi head.
"Thank you hokage-sama. Now in all honesty I don't care to much if we make the Uzumaki a clan or not. I see nothing bad as a result of them joining only good, if the Uzumaki are anything like young Naruto-san then they'll eat plenty so I'll be good to go" Chōza said with a smile.
"Thank you for that Chōza, Shikaku-san you're up" Hiruzen said, everyone leaned forward to listen to his words carefully. One thing you don't go against is the words of a Nara, they're known for their intelligence for a reason.
"Well what Tsume said earlier is spot on. The Uzumaki were known for being so powerful that other nations feared them and banded up together just to take them out, and even then they failed, even if just barley. But at the same time, the Uzumaki is one of the oldest standing clans, up their with the Senju and Uchiha, no one knows which clan out of the three is older. The knowledge and power they could bring to our village could be incredible but at the same time, since all of that belongs to the Uzumaki they also don't have to share any of that directly with our village. But with power comes fear, once the other villages find out that the Uzumaki are being reinstated as an official clan, there will definitely be movement. I'm not sure how that will go it can go either way, honestly. But in the end I trust Naruto, because my son trusts him I trust him." Shikaku said.
Hiruzen nodded, Shikaku is usually good at swaying other people with his words. People know of his genius and so when he says to do something most people listen. "Inoichi Yamanaka, you may speak next" The kage said handing over the light to the man.
"Thank you hokage-sama. If I'm being honest I do not know to much about young Naruto-san here outside of-" Hiruzen cleared his throat while his eyes looked at Sasuke, Inoichi quickly fixed himself, "Outside of the fact that he works under Kakashi-san and along side Uchiha-san. There is very little I know about him as a person, so how he would lead his clean is beyond me, but I believe with the right tutelage he would be a good leader. I've never heard a true bad thing about the boy, rumors I've heard but nothing with facts. Like how he stopped the traitor Mizuiki from stealing the scroll of seals. This boy wasn't even a genin yet and beat a chunin, showing patriotism for our village. I believe he would do well leading his clan." Inoichi finished, some of the other clan heads nodded and smiled at what he said. While it was simple it held a lot of truth, no one truly knew the boy save 4 people in that room.
"Thank you Yamanaka-san, Amburame-san you may speak" Hiruzen said handing the spotlight to what people believe to be the weirdest guy no matter how analytical he was.
"Thank you hokage-sama." The man let out a sigh, "While my people tend to keep to ourselves due to our clans abilities, I will say that we do keep an eye on certain people in our village, and Naruto-san here is one of them. From our reports Naruto-san is a ninja that will surprise everyone, he is strong, and cares for those around him. He goofs off a lot, and pulls pranks, but the boy knows what to do. He has a good head on his shoulders, and if Kushina was his mom, I can only wonder at what kind of strong person the father could have been. Because Kushina would not settle for anything less than perfection, so I wo0uld have to believe that Naruto either will be a great clan head, or through trial and error will become a great clan head." Shibi said calmly.
"Hiashi, let us end with you, I have said my piece as hokage and for the Sarutobi clan." Hiruzen said giving the Hyuuga head the ending statement.
"Like the hokage and Hatake-san, I have had a lot of time to get to know Naruto-san, as it was we were having dinner together when we got our summons which is why we are both dressed so formallu" Hiashi opened, getting the surprise from a lot of civilians and a few of the shinobi. "Naruto has a close friendship with my eldest daughter, and through that me and him have formed a kinship of our own. The boy updates me regularly on his life and the things going on with it. We see each other fairly often he even helps train my eldest daughter, since entering her life, her self confidence has boosted a thousand fold and she is no longer the frail girl she used to be. He has even started becoming close with my younger daughter as well, I've seen him and Hinata giving her tips in her training on how to improve herself while staying within the regulations that our clan puts forward for our own training. Naruto is a great shinobi, and a good person, I have no doubt that he will be a great clan head, and form the Uzumaki into a clan to once again be feared." Hiashi said. He kept what he had to say short but to the point, showing optimal favor in the boy.
Hiruzen gave everyone a few moments to digest what was said before looking at Naruto, "Naruto do you wish to say anything before everyone votes?" Hiruzen asked.
"Usually I would, but I would like to decline, I trust everything will be fine" Naruto stated.
"Ok than with a raise of hands who votes to reinstate the Uzumaki clan with Naruto as clan head?" Hiruzen asked. Some hands raised straight up, the civilians took longer to come around, Hiruzen counted the hands and smiled. "Then as of today I would like to officially recognize the Uzumaki as a clan in the village hidden in the leaves. Now Naruto for the next part I need to let you know that until you come of age, you cannot live in your clan compound, before you get angry just realize that there are reasons for this, and while you may not agree, if you become chunin this will change immediatley" The kage said.
"Hai hokage-sama" Naruto didn't so much as put up a fight, and with that Hiruzen disbanded everyone for the night. Naruto decided to go home and chang his clothes into his regular ninja gear and wear. "Might as well trained since I can't sleep" Naruto muttered before running off to the forest of death to start his survival training. Before entering the forest he added weights to his leg, "These should be as strong as lee's now… I hope" He said as he attached them with chakra so they wouldn't fall off. Before taking off he smirked to no one but himself and sprinted into the forest to train. He looked up and noticed that the sun was almost completely gone now, he knew that he was probably gonna get fucked up but it was worth it, he was gonna show those bastards who the real boss was.
Naruto started to slow down as he saw the webs. He walked in a little further and then completely stopped, he knew what was coming. "Bring it on you 8 legged fuckers" Naruto yelled as he used his hands to cup his mouth projecting his voice louder. Within seconds giant arachnids started to attack him from all sides. They were jumping at him, charging him and trying to web him down. Naruto smirked and took out two kunai and charged the spiders back and started to slice down the demons. A spider happened to land on his back and he quickly slammed into the tree back first making the spider explode, before he quickly twisted his body and kicked a spider away into three more. He quickly threw his kunai striking two spiders in the face, before turning and shooting off a fireball towards a group running towards him. Naruto saw he was quickly getting overrun and that it was getting harder to stop the spiders due to the darkness. Naruto quickly threw a smoke bomb and an exploding kunai and then jumped straight upwards. Before he could land on a tree a spider slammed into him and held him against a tree.
The jaws of the spider tried to rip his face off and Naruto did all he could to avoid death. He held the spider back with one arm and used his free hand to make a shoddy rasengan starting at the spider's abdomen, it was long before the monster flew off him and Naruto quickly started running while throwing multiple kunai back at the spider's.
"Fuck they're getting better at fighting me, well I can be better to" Naruto smirked before making the seal that made him famous, "Kage Bushin No Jutsu" He yelled making about twenty clones. "Ok everyone, CHARGE!" He yelled as everyone attacked.
Flashback
"This seems like a good secluded space to train" Naruto thought to himself before he smiled and unsealed his weights and attached them to his legs and began to train by himself.
Cabout an hour passed and the area around where Naruto was, was pretty destroyed. Naruto decided to break for lunch and set up a fire to cook some ramen. He left to let the ramen cook and went to take a piss, upon his return he saw a pack of giant spiders destroying his camp… and his ramen.
"You moTHER FUCKERS!" NAruto screamed as an all out war between Naruto and the spiders of the Forest of Death Began
Flashback Over
Today's battle only lasted a couple hours before Naruto started to feel weary and decided to back out leaving in his stead a couple hundred clones to fight off the hoard of spiders.
"I really need to find the nest and kill off those female spiders, the way they reproduce is so extreme I will never win unless I go all Kyuubi on their asses." Naruto thought aloud as he ran out of the forest. Immediately following his exit of the forest Naruto crashed into certain purple haired kunoichi.
"What the hell brat you made me drop my dango, now Ima have to fuck you up" she said as Naruto proceeded to get up, but made the mistake of full on grabbing both of her breasts instead of the ground. A soft moan escaped her lips before she quickly grew more angry, "Now you're tryna cop a feel huh?! Ok now you're fucking dead no one grab's these without my say so, and you do not have that say so." She growled out, while Naruto jumped ten feet back and bowed apologizing.
"I'm sorry ma'am I didn't see you I was training in that forest and then when I came out you happened to jump in front of me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm.." She cut him off.
"Wait you were in my Forest too? What the hell were you doing in there?" She asked.
Naruto looked up and his thoughts were confirmed, Anko… God it's been so long since I've seen you.. Damn you Kabuto Naruto thought to himself. "I train in there/am at war with some goddamn spiders." Naruto said with a weak chuckle.
"Wait you're the one killing the fucking spiders in huge masses?!" She said wide eyed in disbelief.
"We'll yea… they kinda destroyed my Ramen so I declared war and ever since we've been at war. The minute I enter the forest they search me out in packs of a couple hundred or more and attack me with whatever they got. I have to say they've gotten a lot better, I almost didn't make it today." Naruto said with a grin half laughing.
"The name's Anko kid, no need to give me your name I already know it… Naruto." Anko said looking at him with a smirk, before getting upset because it didn't seem to phase him that she already knew him. "Hey what gives with the face kid, don't you want to know how it is I know you?" She asked him hurt that she's not getting to this kid.
"You probably know me because of my little tennant don't you" He said plainly getting to the point.
"Ah so you know about it than? How's that exactly." She said acting a bit more serious since he brought up the subject.
"Long story, S class don't want to explain it, but let's just say that the kyuubi isn't the enemy you need to worry about. He's not even the enemy at all, but that's getting off point I'm gonna leave you with that" Naruto said with a smirk before using a shunshin to escape.
"Fucking brat leaving me with no dango and with more questions. Whatever, now where's my Kakashi hiding hehe" She said with a grin before taking off to the man's apartment in order to find him and re enact some scenes from his little orange book.
Elsewhere…
"The chunin exams are coming to konoha this year. I want you to infiltrate the exams and bring me info on the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki." A man said as he stared down his subordinate in front of him.
"Yes Pein-sama, I'll make sure to have some fun on my own also, don't worry though I'll make sure their are no ties to you when I do it." The figure responded with a sadistic smirk, "It will be good to see the old monkey again"
"Do not do more than need be Orochimaru or else I promise your demise will be brought. This is your last time, you mess this up and there will be dire consequences." Pein said with a power of authority that actually scared Orochimaru somewhat, making the man quiver in fear just a bit but also in excitement.
What it would be to have the power of the rinnegan.. My my Yahiko how lucky you are. If only I trained you instead of Jiraiya your eyes would be mine right now. "As you wish Pein-sama" Orochimaru said before quickly leaving the hideout to go make preparations starting first in the land of wind, better known as the sand village.
Back in konoha
Naruto stretched his arms as he woke up. It had been about a week since he had come back to the village and nothing had happened, no missions, no seeing his teammates nothing. All he's done is his intense training against the spiders, his personal war. He's been getting closer to finding the nest where all the females are kept hidden so as to reproduce more spiders by the thousands. Even though they take a few years to get to a deadly size that's still a lot. Naruto knows before he showed up there numbers weren't insanely high to begin with because they had no reason to mass reproduce but since he showed up five years ago he knows that it will only get worse and now he needs to finish off the nest because soon there will be thousands of spiders that will be ready to fight and that's too many.
But anyways that didn't matter today, today he meets back up with his team for some real training. Naruto quickly got up and prepared a shower for himself while throwing a pillow at Arashi, "Oi! Wake up ya bastard." Naruto yelled at the man.
Arashi got up, "What the hell" He said throwing the pillow back.
"Make some breakfast for us I'm gonna shower I have a team training today and I'm sure you're gonna want to join." Naruto said as Arashi groaned and got up for the day.
"It'll be ready in twenty Naruto-sama" Arashi said standing up and getting dressed.
Naruto was happy he was breaking Arashi in and making him more normal but he was getting tired of being called -Sama all the time. That and Arashi keeps threatening the populace every time they give him a dirty look.
The two hurried and got ready, ate and left for the team meeting at training ground 7. Naruto arrived and as usual Sasuke and Sakura were already there. As expected Kakashi was not yet, but should be soon since Naruto waited about 2 hours.
It was only about ten minutes before Kakashi appeared, "Yo" he said with his eye smile as the four came to attention. "Glad to see you all-" He was cut off.
"YOU'RE LATE!" A screaming banshee yelled making Kakashi (and everyone else) cover their ears in pain.
"Good to see you also Sakura-san, now please shut up because this is actually important to everyone here besides Arashi." Kakashi said, which made Arashi narrow his eyes in confusion and disapproval. "These" he took out three pieces of paper, "Are chunin exam forms." He said in all seriousness.
The three genin widened their eyes as they took the papers into each owns hand. Sasuke smirked and so did Naruto, while Sakura's eyes showed immense worry and fear at the paper she was holding. "Do you really think we're ready for this?" Sakura asked, her voice shaking slightly.
Before Kakashi answered Sasuke said his point, "If you aren't ready then get out, I'm ready and the dobe here should at least help a little.
Once she heard Sasuke's response her mood did a complete 180, "You're right, we should be ready I don't know what I was thinking. I'll help you out don't worry" Sakura said while her inner self was yelling back, "Cha!"
"Well since that's settled make sure to sign these yourselves and report to the academy room 301 at 9 a.m. in four days." Kakashi said with an eye smile as they realized the deadline was in less than a week.
"Kakashi-sensei what should I do with Arashi? It's his job to protect me and I'm sure he won't want to leave me to fend for myself in such a dangerous exam." Naruto said/asked Kakashi.
"We both know you'll do just fine without him in the exams, including with your friend. You should have no worries, but for now you deal with it. Ja Ne" He finished with a half assed goodbye and using a shinshin to escape the situation.
"Figures he'd prepare a whole day just to leave us minutes after seeing us, what a lazy ass" Naruto said as he put his arms behind his head and started to walk away, loving the feel of the breeze on his skin.
"Where are you going dobe" Sasuke asked curious as to where his blond haired teammate was going to.
"Train" Naruto responded with one word. Arashi sighed and decided to leave since he knew what Naruto's training involved, but Sasuke was more curious as to where a lowlife like him would go to train especially by himself.
Naruto took off at fast speeds, Sasuke was barely able to follow them he quickly took off his weights Gai gave him and took off, following Naruto. Sakura just sighed as now she had nothing to do and couldn't even ask Sasuke for a date.
'Forest of Death' "What's he doing here" Sasuke said to himself being far enough away that the blond couldn't hear him. He made sure to carefully follow Naruto all the way to his training spot. Without even thinking he watched as his Teammate headed directly into the forest, cursing his luck under his breath he quickly followed in suit so as to not lose the enigma that was his teammate.
Why the fuck is he following me in here Naruto thought to himself as he headed towards his war zone. If he really tries to follow me I'll be forced to leave, I can't risk him seeing my true power or stealing any of my jutsu's. Naruto thought hoping the boy would leave him alone. Naruto quickly made a clone as he dropped to the ground below him hiding in the cover of the shade and watched as Sasuke started to follow the clone who went to an area that wouldn't be spider infested. The clone would just practice his Ka Ta's and maybe some basic wind jutsu's just to make them better.
While Sasuke followed the decoy Naruto got ready for war. He had a feeling today would be the day he found the nest. He knew he was getting close because the spiders started to attack with more viciousness and with more troops than before. He started by making fifteen clones and having them spread out around him so to keep an eye out for spiders while he looked for the entrance to the damned nest. Naruto quickly sprinted towards where he was before when he got attacked, his clones following him in a perimeter close enough to stop spiders from getting to him at least for a short period of time.
Naruto had barely moved ten feet before he was attacked by the biggest spiders that he's ever seen before. He knew he was close, these spiders were like something out of a summoning scroll, "Wind style: Wind dragon bullet" Naruto said as he shot out a wind jutsu at the army of spiders, taking out trees and a few dozen spiders. On instinct alone Naruto did a quick 180 and made a rasengan thrusting his hand forward, instantly killing the spider which had jumped at him.
"Fuck this is gonna be hard, Taju Kage Bunshin No Jutsu" Naruto said as about 800 copies of himself appeared around the area, and started to attack the spider army.
As Naruto and clones fought Naruto saw it. "No fucking way, and here I thought it didn't exist!" He thought to himself and quickly grabbed the item shoving it into his Kunai pouch before he got back to the battle. He took out a kunai and activated his new favorite Jutsu, "Kaze No Yaiba" he said as wind chakra enveloped his kunai. He quickly started slicing down the attackers working his way towards the cave entrance. Before he could take another step though he was shoved to the ground by a spider that had gotten behind him. Naruto's blood curdling scream could be heard through the forest as the spider's fangs tore into his back, the beast trying to avenge his fallen brothers.
In another part of the forest
'Naruto? But he's right here..' the by quickly activated his doujutsu and noticed it was a clone. He quickly muttered under his breath and turned around sprinting off as fast as he could towards the scream, 'You better not be dead dobe' he thought to himself hurrying, he wouldn't admit it but he was genuinely worried that the boy would be in trouble.
Sasuke quickly hurried through the forest, he heard another scream followed by, "I'm gonna massacre all you fuckers" Sasuke stopped in his tracks as he heard that word. With new determination he took off faster, he had removed his weights by now to give him that edge and then he saw the battlefield. Before he could process what had happened he saw Naruto on the ground with a spider bigger than him and Naruto put together with its fangs ripping into Naruto's back.
In a blinding furry Sasuke activated the full force of the current level of sharingan that he could and attacked. He disappeared in pure speed before reappearing by the spider and with a kick as hard as he could muster he not the spider away into the treeline. The scene he saw was horrible, Naruto's back was ripped open and he was bleeding profusely, Sasuke didn't even think before he took his shirt off and wrapped it around the boy to try and stop the bleeding and picked up Naruto and took off towards the hospital.
"HELP" Sasuke yelled as he burst through the doors of the hospital. The receptionist looked and saw Sasuke covered in blood holding a boy who as bleeding. No one recognized that it was Naruto and the receptionist quickly called for doctors who grabbed the boy from Sasuke as he followed answering questions.
"Where was he when you found him?"
"We were in the Forest of death, and a spider bigger than me had its fangs ripping into my teammates back. I knocked the creature away and brought him here, please help him!" Sasuke said as his worry overtook him. "Why do I care so much! What are you doing to me dobe, don't you dare fucking die!"
"How far in the forest were you"
"About 4 kilometers, now help him dammit, if he dies I swear to god I will bring hell unto this place, and you specifically" Sasuke said activating his sharingan for emphasis.
The doctor wanted to act like he wasn't scared but it didn't work, all the man could do was nod before he rushed Naruto into surgery with a few other doctors and nurses who came to help.
"Fuck, what was he doing in their all by himself, fucking baka" Sasuke said as he ran his finger's through his head while pacing back and forth. For the first time since his family was alive Sasuke was genuinely worried about someone else's life. "I can't let anyone else die, I can't fucking lose you dobe. I've lost fucking everyone I can't lose my frien-" Sasuke stopped talking as he realized what he was about to say. 'Friend? … since when is he my friend? How long have I seen him like this? Fuck what's going on with me everything's changing so fast!' Sasuke just screamed out as he sunk to his knees and grabbed his head. He was finally letting out emotions, emotions he hadn't known he was suppressing for so long until now. 'How the fuck are you making me act like this dobe? How are you making me feel so.. So human' as soon as Sasuke thought that last phrase he stopped.
When had he stopped feeling human? Why was he like this? Was it because of Itachi? 'No! No fucking more, I'm done. I'm not going to be a heartless bastard like you. I'll be better just you watch. I will find the strength with my…. Friends' friends, that one word felt so foreign, so alien to him it wasn't a word he had ever used. "I will be different from you. I won't destroy my bonds. I won't let you control me. And I WILL become better than you. Naruto will get better, and I will work with him and everyone else and I will be better and stronger than you. Then I will kill you when I have proven that I am better than you.'' Sasuke thought to himself.
Sasuke lifted his head up from between his legs. How long had he been sitting there? He completely lost track of time. Sasuke looked up and saw it was already nighttime. He saw a clock and noticed that it had been 4 hours already, Sasuke got up and decided to go find the doctor. He hoped that by now Naruto would be out of surgery, Sasuke started to look around the giant hospital before he finally found the doctor.
"Yea as soon as I finished healing It I realized who I spent two hours of surgery on. So after finishing up I picked that damned demon up and threw him out back in the trash where he belon-" Before the doctor could finish his sentences, he and his two other colleagues felt a tremendous Ki radiating at them.
"What the fuck did you do" Sasuke said as he stared the men down his sharingan blazing to life, two tomoe now opposed to the one tomoe he had a week ago. "Because from what I heard the boy I asked you to save, you threw out and called a demon. Well if you wanted to meet a demon all you had to do was ask" Sasuke said before putting the men in a genjutsu powered by his doujutsu that was so strong the men just screamed before blacking out. Sasuke got a worried look on his face and quickly ran out back to find his friend. Sasuke ran outside and saw Naruto still asleep (and thankfully breathing) in the dumpster. Sasuke picked up the boy and once more went into the front door.
Sharingan blazing he looked at the receptionist. "I want you to find a room for my friend and teammate Naruto Uzumaki then get ahold of our sensei Kakashi Hatake and inform him that me and Naruto are here and tell him to get here ASAP." Sasuke practically demanded. The receptionist was so fearful of the boy in front of her that she didn't even question his demand and did what he asked.
"H-hai Uchiha-sama" She said before she quickly got up and ran to get someone to bring Naruto to a room and properly hook him up etc. etc.
After about an hour Naruto was set in his room and Sasuke was sitting back in chair making sure no one came in to hurt his friend again. All of a sudden there was a knock at the door, "Yo" It was Kakashi, Sasuke sat down and motioned his Sensei inside. The man came in and locked the door behind him.
"What happened" Kakashi asked getting serious.
"I'm not sure I was following Naruto here and then next thing I know I hear him screaming, it turns out I was following a clone. I found Naruto screaming in pain with a spider bigger than you eating through Naruto's back. I knocked the spider away and brought him here. While he was in surgery I had a… revelation about myself and realized I needed to change, but after his surgery, the worst thing that could have happened, happened. I found the doctor who did surgery on Naruto and was going to ask him about his condition but then I heard him talk. He called Naruto a demon and had literally left Naruto in the dumpster out back to die. So I put him in a genjutsu, he's lucky I didn't kill him, after that I made the hospital get him a room and now we're here." Sasuke finished.
As Kakashi had listened to Sasuke talk he noticed one thing, one big change. 'He cares… He genuinely cares about what will happen to Naruto, if I'm not mistaken it looks like this boy might yet have hope in becoming a better person. Not just an avenger. I'm curious to see where you will go Sasuke.' "I see.. For now stay with Naruto, try to get some sleep if you can. I'll be back later, I need to report this to the hokage." Kakashi said.
"Hai Sensei, also I found this on Naruto" Sasuke said handing Kakashi a scroll.
Kakashi's Eye widened in surprise before he took it and put the scroll in his back pocket. "You did good Sasuke, at this rate you will truly become a Shinobi that would make your parents proud… get some sleep now" Kakashi said before he turned to leave.
"You never cease to amaze me Naruto" Kakashi thought as he headed towards the hokage tower.
