I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters.
After the events of protecting Suna while killing boy Deidara and Sasori, arguing with the Konoha 12, Naruto and Tayuya were both sprawled out in the bed with Tayuya snoring as Naruto was playing in her hair. After their shower the previous night, Tayuya was overly affectionate with Naruto more than she usually is when they're alone, but he didn't mind.
Naruto was also thinking about the mission briefing he had with Tsunade in an hour about the tenchi bridge mission. While he didn't doubt Sasori was lying, he couldn't shake the feeling of something going wrong on this mission. Truthfully he'd feel better if Kakashi was on the team because after him, Kakashi is the strongest jonin in the village. His years of training with Jiraiya made him think of different possibilities. The main one was the possibility of Orochimaru showing up and ruining the entire thing. While he knew that he could take on Orochimaru by himself, it would still be difficult due to Orochimaru's ability to get out of sticky situations with ease.
When Neji woke up last night, TenTen explained to him what happened and they left to go back to her house. Neji would forever be in Naruto's debt and he would personally apologize to Tayuya for the way he was forced to treat her. He knew he would have to tell Hiashi about this, but he'd deal with the consequences for whatever they may be. Him being a free bird meant that he could do a lot more now that he's no longer held back by the seal. Naruto stopped thinking about that and woke up Tayuya.
"Hey, wake up. We've got that meeting with granny." Naruto said and she groaned
"Give me 5 more minutes. Your tongue brought me so many orgasms last night and my legs are still numb." Tayuya said
"I'll give you a massage when we get back. Besides, after this we still have 4 more days to relax before we leave. You can sleep all you want. Get up." Naruto said
"I don't want to." Tayuya mumbled
"Fine. I guess I'll take a shower by myself." Naruto said
"What about me?" Tayuya asked
"You'll have to shower alone. You said you wanted to sleep some more. If you get up then you can join me." Naruto said
"Will there be kisses involved in this shower?" Tayuya asked
"There's only one way to find out. Plus, if you're lucky, you may get a repeat of last night." Naruto said and her eyes snapped open
"Let's go!" Tayuya said and ran into the bathroom
"I thought her legs were numb." Naruto mumbled
"Hurry the fuck up! I can't wait any longer!" Tayuya said
"Yeah yeah. Here I come." Naruto said
"You'll be doing that as well!" Tayuya said and threw her clothes out of the bathroom
"Welp, time to satisfy my girlfriend." Naruto said
"HURRY UP." Tayuya yelled
Hokage office-2 hours later
"Do you two want to tell me why you're over an hour late?" Tsunade asked and Tayuya smirked
"Sure. This lovely hunk of a man was sticking his tongue deep inside of me making me scream his name while I had his gigantic meat stick down my throat." Tayuya said causing Tsunade to pinch her nose, while Sakura and Shizune had major blushes on their faces
"I don't even know why I bothered to ask." Tsunade said
"Stop being so nosey. Hey, Sakura. You've got some blood coming from your nose." Naruto said and she quickly wiped it away
"Don't worry, Pinky. There's always room for an extra. Just imagine what he can do with his shadow clones and two women." Tayuya said and Sakura passed out from a massive nose bleed
"I feel like you treat me as if I was a prostitute sometimes." Naruto said
"Ah. Don't worry about it. The only person you'll be fucking is me. I do this mainly for jokes and it's funny every single time." Tayuya said
"Okay. That's enough about your sex life. Shizune, can you wake Sakura up for me?" Tsunade asked
"Of course." Shizune said and placed some smelling salts under Sakura's nose instantly waking her up
"I'M UP." Sakura yelled and wiped her nose
"So, when do we get started?" Naruto asked
"We're just waiting on one more person." Tsunade said
"Who is it?" Naruto asked and then a knock was heard on the door
""Come in." Tsunade said and an anbu walked in
"A member of the anbu." Sakura thought
"Well that was fast." Tsunade said
"I heard it was a matter of great urgency." The anbu said
"I assume you know why you've been summoned here." Tsunade said
"I have a general idea." The anbu said
"Kakashi's out and I want you to take over his team." Tsunade said
"It would be an honor to work in Kakashi's stand, m'lady." The anbu said
"Good. Now, this isn't a normal anbu black ops mission. You're going on a regular assignment. So you can take off the mask. I'll be giving you a code name. During the mission, you'll be known as Yamato." Tsunade said and the anbu removed his mask
"Yes. I understand." Yamato said
"Good. Now, the mission is as follows. You four are to go to the tenchi bridge in 4 days to randevu with Sasori's spy. Get any information you can from him and then leave. You were specifically chosen for this mission due to your unique abilities." Tsunade said
"What does that mean?" Naruto asked
"Do you mind if I tell them?" Tsunade asked
"Not at all." Yamato said
"Yamato, here is a result of Orochimaru and his experiment on trying to recreate my grandfather's infamous wood style kekkei genkai. Yamato possesses the wood style kekkei genkai, so he can replicate Sasori's puppet body with relative ease." Tsunade said
"You wouldn't happen to have an arm made of Hashirama Senju's dna, would you?" Tayuya asked
"No I do not." Yamato said
"Damn." Tayuya said
"Something isn't right or something is missing from this mission." Naruto said
"Your training with Jiraiya has paid off. There's another reason why he was selected for this mission. As you know, a user of the wood style kekkei genkai has the ability to suppress a tailed beast. Yamato was chosen for that select reason. However, he already knows you can control about 4 or 5 tails of nine tails chakra, but you do not need it. While me, Elders Koharu and Homura were on board with a different jonin going on the mission, Danzo was being stubborn against it and we needed to appease him in order to get this mission started. It was either Yamato or a shinobi of his choosing." Tsunade said
"I see." Naruto said
"I must admit that I'm impressed with your ability to withstand four to five tails of nine tails chakra. To be completely honest, I don't think my wood style would work on anything higher than the fourth tail. I may have the wood style kekkei genkai, but it pales in comparison to somebody who was actually born with it." Yamato said
"I can give you some tips on how to strengthen your wood style. You aren't the only one in possession of that kekkei genkai." Tsunade said
"I'm not? Who else has the wood style?" Yamato asked
"Me of course. I was able to suppress Naruto easily once when he accidentally used four tails in a spar with me and Jiraiya before he left to train. Anyway, you'll leave in 4 days to reach Kusa and then get to the tenchi bridge." Tsunade said
"Why are we leaving so late? With that amount of time off we'll miss the spy at the bridge." Yamato said
"Naruto has the transportation covered." Tsunade said
"There's a toad that specializes in speed and can travel through the forest without being heard or detected. He is about the size of the house, so we can all travel on him while he speeds through the thick trees in the Konoha forest and in Kusa." Naruto said
"How fast is he?" Yamato said
"His name isn't Shinkosu for nothing." Naruto said
"I see." Yamato said and then there was a knock on the door
"Enter!" Tsunade said and then Danzo walked in holding a file
"Hey, look. It's the one eyed pedophile. How's the empty eye socket?" Naruto asked and smirked as Danzo narrowed his eye at him
"Naruto, that's enough. What can I do for you, Danzo?" Tsunade asked
"It has come to my attention that you are sending a group of shinobi out on an S-rank mission." Danzo said
"Don't play stupid, Danzo. What do you want?" Tsunade asked
"I have a shinobi that I wish to add into the ranks and this mission would be perfect to get him started." Danzo said and gave Tsunade a folder that she looked through
"Wow. I can smell your bullshit from over here." Tayuya said
"No, that's just his natural scent." Naruto said and Tayuya laughed
"You're right. I forgot once you reach his age you start to smell bad." Tayuya said and they broke out into a laughing fit
"Sheesh. These two are a match made in heaven." Sakura thought
"That's enough from you two. Danzo, while I appreciate the offer, this mission already has enough people. We have all areas covered. Two medics, a genjutsu specialist, ninjutsu specialist and an all around Kage level shinobi." Tsunade said and gave him back the folder
"I was unaware that we had a Kage level shinobi within the anbu." Danzo said
"She's talking about Naruto, you dusty bag of bones." Tayuya said
"Can you two be professional?" Tsunade asked and glared at them
"Sorry, Lady Hokage." Naruto said and they both bowed with huge grins on their faces
"Anyway, Tayuya is right. Naruto is a Kage level shinobi." Tsunade said
"A Kage level shinobi with little to no experience." Danzo said
"I've done at least 15 A-rank missions while I was out training with Jiraiya and maybe S-rank missions. I've already beaten the strongest jonin this village has to offer. However, if you need to see for yourself, I'd be more than happy to give you a personal demonstration." Naruto said
"That won't be necessary, Naruto. If that is all, you're dismissed, Danzo." Tsunade said
"Very well." Danzo said and looked at Naruto who instantly activated his hishigan
"You really want to try that again?" Naruto asked
"I don't know what you mean." Danzo said and walked out
"I was unaware of you having a dojutsu." Yamato said and then Naruto threw three kunai into the ceiling, causing three dead bodies to fall to the ground
"Yeah. It's called the hishigan and that's all I will say about it for now." Naruto said and Yamato nodded
"He's just going to act like he didn't kill three people." Sakura thought
"Understandable. Lady Tsunade, who will be in charge of this mission?" Yamato asked
"You will. You have the most experience leading a squad thanks to your time in the anbu. I shouldn't have to tell you this, but there's a chance Orochimaru will show up. When he does, Naruto will be the one who has to fight him. He can match Orochimaru in ninjutsu and taijutsu." Tsunade said
"Plus, I need to get him back for what happens during the chunin exams." Naruto said
"Oh yeah. I remember that." Sakura said
"What happened during the chunin exams?" Tayuya asked
"That son of a bitch slapped a five pronged seal on me and it almost cost me the chunin exams if I never would've met the pervert." Naruto said
"Make sure you get some good hits in for me." Tayuya said
"You got it." Naruto said
"M'lady, if I may." Sakura said
"Go ahead." Tsunade said
"Is it possible for us to try and get Sasuke if he's there?" Sakura asked
"If you can, you may try to find Sasuke Uchiha and bring him back. You have full reign to use force if necessary." Tsunade said
"Thank you, M'lady." Sakura said
"Alright. You're all dismissed. Actually, Naruto. You stay back." Tsunade said
"I'll be in bed." Tayuya said and vanished
"I'll start packing." Sakura said and left while Yamato just vanished
"So, what's up?" Naruto asked
"I want you to keep your sensing ability on high alert when you leave the village. I'm sure Danzo will send somebody to follow your squad. He has an ulterior motive for trying to get somebody on this mission." Tsunade said
"If I capture him, then what?" Naruto asked
"Kill him. If he has any files on him I want you to grab them and bring them back to me." Tsunade said
"Alright, granny." Naruto said
"Oh and make sure Tayuya keeps her temper in check. If Orochimaru or Kabuto show up, one of them is bound to try and get her riled up." Tsunade said
"I will. I've got that handled." Naruto said
"I'm sure you do. I forgot to tell you this, but when you get back, Kakashi wants to talk to you about some kind of training to help you create an ultimate jutsu that only you will be able to use." Tsunade said
"Sweet. I'll see you later." Naruto said and vanished
Tenchi bridge
"Alright we're here. I just need to get into my disguise." Yamato said and used his wood style to create his disguise
"Alright. That's exactly what he looked like. Now just make your voice all raspy and deep." Tayuya said
"Like this?" Yamato asked in a different voice
"Little bit. Try again." Tayuya said
"Like this?" Yamato asked
"That's perfect." Tayuya said
"Listen up. Our opponents will be on alert. So I want us to split up. We'll have to work as a team. Naruto, if Orochimaru shows up, then he's all yours." Yamato said
"He's already here, but he's hanging back. We were also followed when we left the leaf village but whoever it is hasn't moved since we stopped." Naruto said
"What should we do?" Sakura asked
"After this, we go after whoever it is." Yamato said
"Actually, I have a better idea. We use him as bait." Naruto said
"How will we do that?" Sakura asked
"Whoever it is must be waiting for Orochimaru to show up. What I'm thinking is I lure Orochimaru away from the fight and draw out whoever it is that's following us. If this person is really trying to get in contact with Orochimaru then, we follow him to his base. Once we're there, we can grab info on anything important, kill whoever is following us and potentially capture Sasuke." Naruto said
"How will we be able to track them? No doubt Orochimaru can make a quick escape to his base." Yamato said
"I have a jutsu that was created by the spy toads. I can create a link of sorts with the toad to see and hear whatever it does. The distance between the toad and summoner has no limits. The toad I have in mind is really good at staying hidden and keeping his chakra levels basically non-existent." Naruto said
"That's quite impressive. How many of these toads can you do that with?" Yamato asked
"Only one at a time. I tried it with more than one and the headache wasn't worth it." Naruto said
"There's just one problem. The summoning jutsu takes a lot of chakra. We'd be detected in seconds." Sakura said
"That's why I've already summoned the toad and it's staying hidden while remaining close to me so I can guide it to where it needs to go." Naruto said
"Alright. I'll give you the signal when it's time to come out." Yamato said and walked to the bridge
Yamato
"You weren't followed were you?" "Sasori" asked
"No. I still have that strange sensation from when I remembered who I was after you broke that jutsu." The spy said
"I've got some questions for you." "Sasori" said
"I don't have much time so please keep it short. I risked my life to get here without Orochimaru finding out." The spy said
"I want information on the location of his hideout and the whereabouts of Sasuke Uchiha." "Sasori" said
"We're in a hideout on a small island on a lake to the north. We'll be moving again in three days." The spy said
"What of Sasuke Uchiha is he there as well?" "Sasori" asked sounding a bit desperate
Naruto, Tayuya, Sakura
"Dammit Yamato relax, you're gonna blow your cover sounding desperate." Naruto whispered to himself
"For an anbu he really sucks at this. I'm guessing this is his first time having to do something like this." Tayuya whispered
"Naruto, there's a chance to get Sasuke. Will you please keep him alive if you fight?" Sakura asked
"I'll see what I can do." Naruto said
Yamato and the spy
Meanwhile on the bridge a noise was heard in a bush behind the spy they turned around and it was just a rabbit.
"False alarm. I thought it was Orochimaru. It's just a rabbit. By the way, about what you ordered me to do lord Sasori. Even after his reincarnation, Orochimaru uses a jutsu to protect the cellular specimens from his discarded body and I was not able to analyze the cellular data." The spy said
"I see." "Sasori said"
"Now please hand over the item you promised me. I've been here long enough as is, if Orochimaru finds out I'm here I'll be killed." The spy said. Yamato pulled out a kunai ready to kill the spy but was cut off by Orochimaru showing up.
"Interesting conversation, I hope you two don't mind me showing up and joining in the fun." He said
"So he's here. I wasted too much time." Yamato thought as Orochimaru stared at him.
A snake started to coil around the spy but he jumped away and landed next to Yamato. The spy revealed himself to none other than Kabuto himself.
"Lord Sasori if you hadn't pulled out that kunai I wouldn't have been able to get away from him in time." Kabuto said
"I'm lucky it looks like he misunderstood, I guess my cover hasn't been blown yet. However, Orochimaru is here now." Yamato thought
"I remember that garb. It sure brings back memories, Sasori." Orochimaru said
"So you followed him, did you?" "Sasori" asked
"I just wanted to thank you in person, Sasori. After all, you're the one who sent this kid to me and he's come in very handy." Orochimaru said
"I can't call them out yet I need to wait a bit longer." Yamato thought
Kabuto gathered chakra to his hand and then cut through Yamato's disguise and cut him slightly on the arm. Yamato jumped into the air leaving the disguise and the spy jumped back to Orochimaru's side.
"Did he know who I was? No, that's impossible, what's going on here?" Yamato thought
Multiple striking shadow snakes
Orochimaru sent multiple snakes from his arm at Yamato and wrapped him up but he substituted himself with a wood dummy.
"That was a wood style substitution. Interesting, you must be." Orochimaru didn't finish
"Lord Orochimaru, is that Sasori's real body?" The spy asked
"No, that's definitely not Sasori. Kabuto, don't tell me after all this time as his faithful servant you haven't seen his real body." Orochimaru said
"He always hid behind those ugly puppets of his." Kabuto said
"What is the meaning of this? Kabuto you were supposed to be an akatsuki spy. You should have been under the control of Sasori's jutsu this whole time" Yamato said
"Not anymore lord Orochimaru broke that jutsu long ago." Kabuto said
"So you pretended to be under Sasori's jutsu while you turned traitor. Or did Orochimaru use his power to change you?" Yamato asked
"Nope I actually empathize with Orichimaru's ideals. Who are you anyway? I've never seen you around the leaf village. The plan was to kill Sasori but somebody already beat us to it." Kabuto said
"I can tell you about him, Kabuto. He was the only survivor it seems from when I was experimenting with the first hokage's dna. I assumed all of the test subjects died so I abandoned the lab. Apparently they found him in my lab alive and decided not to kill him and use his abilities later for their jinchuuriki. Now that we have that out of the way, why don't you call out those two rats hiding behind you in the bushes." Orochimaru said
"Two it should be three, which one is gone." Yamato thought, as signaled for his team to come out, but only Sakura and Tayuya appeared
"Well, well. Look who it is." Kabuto said
"Surprised to see me, needle dick?" Tayuya asked
"I honestly can say I didn't see this coming. Lord Orochimaru, I thought you said she was dead. You couldn't find any trace of her curse mark." Kabuto said
"That's because I had that shit removed after the mission to bring this pedophile his new boy toy. It's amazing how life is when you don't have to worry about the two of you trying some sick experiment on me when I'm sleeping." Tayuya said
"It's impossible to remove the curse mark. Not even Jiraiya should be able to remove it. Clearly she must be joking." Orochimaru thought and tried to activate Tayuya's curse mark, but nothing happened
"I see. I would like to know the name of this person who managed to remove my curse mark." Orochimaru said
"I'll tell you the same thing he told me. There isn't a seal in the world an Uzumaki can't handle." Tayuya said
"The nine tails brat. Of course. I'm surprised he's not here. I thought any mission regarding Sasuke would surely involve him." Kabuto said
"Where is Sasuke?!" Sakura asked
"There's the reaction I was hoping for. You should learn to give up when you can. Sasuke doesn't want to go back to the hidden leaf." Kabuto said
"Wow. He must enjoy getting railed by the two of you at night if he doesn't want to leave. I still can't believe he came to you for power. I mean, it's no secret that he wants to kill Itachi, but why go to somebody who lost to Itachi in seconds when he was only 15? You won't really get much help from somebody like that." Tayuya said
"What? He lost to Itachi?" Sakura asked
"He sure did. You leave a lot of papers and journals laying around your base. I found that one and read it. Looking a sharingan user in the eye is the dumbest shit you can do. He was going to kill you had Kabuto not gotten involved." Tayuya said
"Wait a minute. The way people talk about Orochimaru makes it seem as if he's the strongest of the legendary sannin." Sakura said
"Please. The pervert can defeat him if he really wanted to. Hell, Lady Tsunade could probably beat him as well." Tayuya said and Orochimaru off
"Kabuto, kill her." Orochimaru said
"Of course." Kabuto said, but then Naruto appeared
"Hello, Orochimaru." Naruto said
"The nine tails jinchuriki finally shows up." Orochimaru said
"Kabuto, did you miss me? Last time we saw each other, you interfered in my mission to grab Sasuke before he fell into your hands. How is my old teammate?" Naruto asked
"Naruto." Kabuto said and grit his teeth
"What's with the angry look? It wouldn't happen to be because of the time when I kicked your ass before, would it?" Naruto asked
"If I remember correctly, you were the one on the ground bleeding, clinging to your pathetic life." Kabuto said
"True, but I vaguely remember Orochimaru needing to help you move. While I was still conscious, you couldn't even move. So, snake face, ready for round two?" Naruto asked
"You'll have to get through me first!" Kabuto said and ran at Naruto with a kunai out, but Tayuya appeared in front of him
"Hello, needledick." Tayuya said
"She's fast!" Kabuto thought and then Tayuya gave him a chakra enhanced punch sending him flying away
"That felt so good." Tayuya said
"Seems like you've improved a bit over the years. One of my most trusted guards has betrayed me and joined the enemy." Orochimaru said
"They weren't my enemies. I just did my job to keep a roof over my head." Tayuya said
"Oh? Does Naruto know that you assisted in the death of the third hokage?" Orochimaru asked
"I do and I simply don't give a fuck that he's dead." Naruto said
"Something's not right. He's a lot more serious and the look in his eyes reminds me of his father. Could it be that he's surpassed him? No, that's impossible. I'll deal with him and then I'll deal with the other ones." Orochimaru thought
"I'll humor you. If you want to fight then by all means, I'll show you your place." Orochimaru said and Naruto appeared in front of him
"I thought you'd never ask." Naruto said and punched him away then gave chase
"What should we do?" Sakura asked
"We guard Kabuto. He's slippery so don't let your guard down for a split second or he's gone." Yamato said
"What about our loose end?" Tayuya asked
"I'm sure he's already being followed by a toad." Yamato said
"Pinky, let me ask you something." Tayuya said
"Sure." Sakura said
"Let's say we do find Sasuke. Will you be able to fight him if necessary?" Tayuya asked
"I-I don't know. That's why I requested this. To see if I have what it takes to bring him back by force." Sakura said
"Good answer." Tayuya said
Naruto vs Orochimaru
Meanwhile Naruto is fighting Orochimaru in a Taijutsu fight after having caught up to him. Orochimaru already had to shed his skin twice. He ducked a roundhouse kick from Naruto and threw 6 punches at Naruto who easily dodged them thanks to him using his training with Jiraiya. Orochimaru hasn't landed a decisive hit since the fight started. It wasn't going as he thought it would since Naruto was actually fighting him on even ground. He jumped back from Naruto and called out a jutsu.
Formation of ten thousand snakes
Ten thousand snakes with swords sticking out of their mouths all charged at Naruto, who gathered wind chakra and pulled water from the air.
Ice style: frozen capturing field
Naruto froze the entire ground and the ice made all of the snakes slow down due to the cold temperature. Naruto used his Wind style: Holy rotating Wind blades with his Flame Tornado jutsu and threw in a few explosive tags as well to destroy all of the snakes. An explosion happened and Naruto blew away the smoke with his wind chakra to check out the damage and he wasn't disappointed. He saw Orochimaru come out of the ground and he was breathing heavily since he was nearly caught in that explosion.
"What's the matter, Orochimaru? Are you tired?" Naruto asked
"It's impossible! He should not be able to face me on even ground after only three years! I will admit that he was close to being a jonin level shinobi last time I saw him, but he should not be able to take on an S-rank shinobi such as myself. His growth is unnatural." Orochimaru thought and activated his slithering snake mode
"Tell me, Naruto. How were you able to get this strong in only three years?" Orochimaru asked
"I did lots of sit-ups and drank plenty of juice." Naruto said
"Cocky brat." Orochimaru thought
With his new ability to move at greater speeds, Orochimaru quickly closed the distance using his slithering snake mode and then gave Naruto a strong punch to the face. Orochimaru followed it up with a barrage of chakra enforced punches and elbow strikes. The barrage of attacks sent Naruto flying away into some trees, but he quickly recovered and cut Orochimaru in half with his chakra blades that were coated in wind chakra. Suddenly snakes came from both halves of Orichimaru's body and pulled them back together, healing Orochimaru of any sign of damage.
"Nice trick." Naruto said and wiped blood from his mouth
"How about you stop playing games and fight me with your actual strength. I've got many years of experience under my belt to know when somebody is holding back." Orochimaru said
"You asked for it." Naruto said
"It's been quite some time since I've been in a good fight. I'm starting to regret not going after the nine tails jinchuriki." Orochimaru thought
Seven heavenly breaths: first activation
Second activation
Third activation
Fourth activation
The fourth activation sharpens Naruto's eyesight to allow complete clarity even at a distance. Naruto's physique is notably improved, so now his maximum power exceeded his body's normal 100% power. He boosted his reflexes to keep up with his new-found prowess as well due to the technique's overall bolstering effect. As his power grows, so does his aura expand to take on a fiercer appearance.
Fifth activation
The fifth activation further increases Naruto's speed and strength. The aura he produced is now as fierce as a bonfire from how much air has been infused into his body. His aura is so strong that it can now be manipulated, either focused to specific points and released in bursts to make even simpler strikes explosively powerful, or wrapped around the body to protect from attacks. However, both moves require a draining, focused expenditure of power, thus naturally shortening the duration of the mode.
"Well, this is interesting." The nine tails thought
"His power is incredible. I can see why he challenged me by himself." Orochimaru thought
Naruto took one step and then disappeared. To Orochimaru, it sounded like an explosion happened, but that was just Naruto breaking the sound barrier as he reached Mach speeds. All Orochimaru felt was a kick to the chin and before he could react, he was on his back looking at the sky completely dazed. Naruto was running so fast that not even a fully matured sharingan would be able to track him. Orochimaru shed his skin, but it was pointless since Naruto pummeled him into the ground again.
Moon dance barrage
Naruto charges at Orochimaru and elbows him in the face that sends him flying away. Naruto quickly appeared in front of Orochimaru then started to attack him with a powerful barrage of kicks and punches, ending with a heavy punch to his stomach. While Orochimaru was lying on the ground paralyzed from the assault, Naruto threw him in the air and jumped up higher than he threw Orochimaru. When Naruto was at his highest point he released all of activations when he used all of the air in his lungs to use the Wind style: pressure damage jutsu on Orochimaru that sent him crashing to the ground where he left a hole to see where his body hit. After a while, Orochimaru climbed out of the ground and shed his skin once more, but he was still breathing heavily.
"To think he's able to do this much damage to me without using his dojutsu. I've already shed my skin too many times and this body is starting to reject me. I need to retreat, but I can't let him follow me." Orochimaru thought
"Looks like you're about to pass out over there. What's the matter? I thought you wanted a fight." Naruto said
"Hm. I must say that I was taken by surprise. I never would've thought you'd put up this much of a fight. The seven heavenly breaths is a technique that rivals the eight inner gates and nobody has ever been able to go past the third activation. You truly are a fine specimen, if it wasn't for that nine tails in your gut, I would've given you the curse mark as well." Orochimaru said
"Sorry, but I'd prefer if you didn't give me a hickey on my neck." Naruto said and gathered lightning chakra to his hand before tossing it up into the air
"What's he planning?" Orochimaru thought
"A little parting gift for you." Naruto said and the sky turned dark as clouds started to form
"I can't get hit with that!" Orochimaru thought and slammed his hands on the ground
Summoning jutsu: triple RashÅmon
Three gates appeared with faces on them, the first gate was red, the second was green and the third was blue. The first gate takes the attack head on, the second reduces the attack's power and the third disperses the pressure, causing all attacks that come in contact with it to lose their power before they can be effective. Orochimaru braced himself behind the gates.
Raijins wrath
Lightning started to rain down on the battlefield and obliterated Orochimaru's gates. The attack lasted for about ten seconds before it stopped and a huge smoke cloud was all you could see. Naruto blew away the smoke with the help of a few shadow clones and he saw nothing, but a huge crater.
"Looks like I won." Naruto said and vanished
Naruto
"Hey, guys." Naruto said as he appeared next to them
"Are you okay?" Tayuya asked and started to heal him
"Yeah I'm fine. Back hurts a bit because he sent me flying through a couple of trees." Naruto said
"Just because he's old doesn't mean he's weak. He is one of the legendary sannin for a reason." Sakura said
"Yeah. Yeah." Naruto said
"What happened at the end? All I saw was dark clouds and then lightning hitting the earth." Yamato said
"It's one of my powerful jutsus. Trust me, the area looks a lot worse than you think." Naruto said
"I bet." Yamato said
"Where's Kabuto?" Naruto asked
"He's escaped thanks to the shockwave of your jutsu." Sakura said
"That's okay. We can track him with the toad Naruto summoned earlier. Did it find anything?" Yamato asked and they noticed his eyes were like a toads
"Yeah. The person following us gave Orochimaru a folder that seemed important. The toad is following them from a safe distance. We can leave now, but we have to keep our distance from them." Naruto said
"Alright. You heard him. Let's move." Yamato said
Hidden base
"So this is the base?" Sakura asked as they looked at the entrance
"Yeah. I've been here before." Tayuya said
"We need to split up. Tayuya and Naruto, you two look around for anything important we can use. Sakura, you're with me on finding Sasuke Uchiha. The seeds I had you all eat on our way here is a way for us to communicate. Just hold your hand to your left ear while using a small amount of chakra and I can hear what you're saying. Remember, stealth is key here. Naruto, I know I don't have to worry about you due to your training with lord Jiraiya and your history with pranking the village without getting caught by the anbu." Yamato said
"What about me and pinky?" Tayuya asked
"I've heard the two of you get a bit hot headed during stealth missions and nearly failed a few of them. Just follow me and Naruto's lead. Let's go." Yamato said and they split up
Naruto & Tayuya
"So, where exactly are you taking us?" Naruto asked, as he was following Tayuya
"To a room that should give us enough help with our problems. This is it." Tayuya said, but Naruto grabbed her before she could open the door then they turned invisible
"What is it?" Tayuya whispered and Naruto pointed to Kabuto who walked out of the room
"That's what. Let's go." Naruto said and they went inside the room
"Look at this." Tayuya said and gave Naruto a folder
"It's the folder the guy gave Orochimaru." Naruto said and opened it
"What is it?" Tayuya asked
"It's filled with some of the anbu from our village. Their names, skills and their real identities with the mask they wear. I don't know what Danzo had planned or wanted in exchange for this, but I'm going to kill him after I kill his little pawn." Naruto said
"No. Don't kill him. Capture the pawn instead. Let's make Danzo sweat and expose him to the world first." Tayuya said
"I don't think anybody would care if Danzo gave away information about our anbu." Naruto said
"What about illegal dealings in other countries, child abduction and assisting in the downfall of Uzushiogakure after making false reports?" Tayuya asked as she was looking through reports
"What was that last one?" Naruto asked
"He was part of the reason Uzushiogakure was destroyed. He sent false reports to Iwa, Kumo and Kiri to have them destroyed." Tayuya said
"All of this is just making me want to kill him even more. I just want to know why Orochimaru has this information." Naruto said
"Blackmail. Let's say Danzo tries to betray Orochimaru or do something Orochimaru doesn't like. Orochimaru can leak this information to the world and have Danzo on the run for the rest of his life." Tayuya said
"Well, he's about to be on the run now. Even granny will be after him." Naruto said as he picked up a folder and read the contents of it
"What do you mean? Is it because she's part Uzumaki?" Tayuya asked
"Yes and this. We found out who has the arm made of Hashirama Senju dna. Orochimaru gave it to Danzo. He didn't go into detail as to what he needed it for, but from the way it was carefully created it must be for something big." Naruto said and then an explosion happened
"Looks like somebody found your former teammate." Tayuya said
"Well, it wasn't Sakura or Yamato that's for sure." Naruto said
"How do you know?" Tayuya asked as they sealed away what they found and ran towards the explosion
"Because she would've yelled his name and her voice nod so screechy that it's impossible to not hear it." Naruto said
"I guess you're right." Tayuya said
Explosion site
"Woah. Look at this. Somebody must've woken up on the wrong side of the bed." Naruto said as he and Tayuya arrived
"Either that or somebody's mad you beat up Orochimaru and they can't let him fondle his nuts tonight." Tayuya said
"Do you two ever take things seriously?!" Sakura asked
"Only things that should cause us to worry." Tayuya said
"Well, Naruto. You came here as well." Sasuke said
"Hm? Oh, hey. It's the little boy who couldn't get strong fast enough so he ran to somebody who's weaker than Itachi." Naruto said
"I see Kakashi is here." Sasuke said
"Unfortunately, Kakashi wasn't able to make it. I'm here in his place." Yamato said
"Why are you worried about Kakashi? Did you want a team reunion? I can make a shadow clone and have it turn into Kakashi for you." Naruto said
"I can't with these two." Sakura thought
"Team Kakashi." Sasuke said and looked at Tayuya who looked familiar
"The fuck are you looking at? You're not my type and your hair is shaped like a duck's ass." Tayuya said
"Seriously Tayuya?!" Sakura asked
"So that girl's my replacement? I thought the team already had a weakling." Sasuke said
"How about we fight and I can show you how weak I am? I mean I already kicked your ass three years ago or do you not remember?" Tayuya asked
"Don't do that. He'd be too embarrassed that he lost to his superior." Naruto said
"Who's your friend?" Sasuke asked and pointed to a pale skins boy
"Don't know him, but thanks for reminding me about him. Tayuya, if you'd please." Naruto said
"Sure thing handsome." Tayuya said and appeared behind the person, then knocked him out
"Trust me. His time on this team is limited. As for the bond between us, that's over with." Naruto said
"Sasuke, why did you leave? You started to understand having friends and creating bonds was a good thing." Sakura said
"You're right. I did understand. That is why I severed them! You see, I have a different bond now. Between my older brother and me, it's the bond of hatred. Having too many ties in this world will only lead you astray. It weakens one's ambition. Distracts you from what truly matters." Sasuke said
"Then why didn't you kill Sakura the night you left? You could have killed her and broke the bond between you two. Wait a minute, you actually like her, don't you?" Naruto asked
"The reason is simple. It's not that I couldn't break our bond, Naruto. I was simply doing as my older brother had done before me. It was nothing more than a strategy to gain power. That day when I left her there, I only spared her life on a whim. Nothing more." Sasuke said and appeared next to Naruto
"He's fast." Yamato thought
"How did he do that?" Sakura thought
"So you still haven't unlocked it yet. Such a shame. You'll never be at Itachi's level. You'll never reach your goal in life." Naruto said
"Please. He's so far off from Itachi's level it's not even funny. This is a guy who killed his clan at 13 and defeated Orochimaru without even trying at 15. Sasuke is nowhere close to defeating him." Tayuya said
"His dream to kill Itachi is so well known and I bet everyone is hoping he fails." Naruto said
"Wasn't it you who always dreamed about becoming hokage? We're a lot alike in regards to our dreams. We'd both do anything to achieve it. Wouldn't you agree, Naruto?" Sasuke asked
"That is true that I always dreamt about becoming hokage. However, I wouldn't do anything to become hokage except prove myself with my own accomplishments. Things can change on a whim, so I have another goal in life. You left Sakura alive on a whim. Isn't that right, Sasuke?" Naruto asked
"That's cute. This time my whim is telling me to finish what I started." Sasuke said as he pulled out his sword and attempted to stab Naruto, but he was stopped by another Naruto who grabbed his wrist while another had a kunai at his throat, while Tayuya had a kunai placed at his heart
"Naruto's so fast. I didn't even see him create a clone or use any chakra. Tayuya is faster than Sasuke as well. I thought she was a medic and genjutsu specialist." Yamato thought
"That block you selected was the correct one." Sasuke said and activated his sharingan
"Alright." Yamato said and made a hand sign sending wood at Sasuke who countered
Chidori stream
Sasuke let out a wave of lightning all around him and it sent Naruto's clone flying back destroying it. Naruto was unaffected since he channeled wind chakra around his body to cancel out the effects of the lighting. Yamato's wood jutsu was destroyed. Sakura channeled chakra into her hand and took off running at Sasuke. Sasuke prepared his sword and went to cut Sakura in half, but Yamato jumped in front of her and tried to stop Sasuke's sword with a kunai. To his amazement, the kunai wasn't effective as it went right through the sword and Sasuke managed to stab him in the shoulder while channeling lighting chakra through his sword.
"Captain Yamato!" Sakura said
"The block that you chose was the incorrect one. My snake sword is somewhat special. It's impossible to block." Sasuke said
"My body's going numb. He's running the chidori through his sword. It hones the blade to the utmost sharpness and it paralyzes as it cuts." Yamato thought and Sasuke then looked Naruto in his eyes, but Naruto's hishigan was activated
"Sorry, but those eyes won't work." Naruto said and kicked Sasuke away
"Tayuya, help Sakura heal Yamato." Naruto said
"Aww. I wanted to kick his ass." Tayuya said and walked over to Yamato
"I clearly outmatch you, so just give up and come with us." Naruto said
"Your cockiness is pissing me off." Sasuke said as he went through hand signs and was about to use a jutsu, but his arm was grabbed
"I wouldn't bother with that jutsu. Be smart now." Orochimaru said
"Hey, Orochimaru. Are you back for the tie breaker?" Naruto asked
"The nine tails brat. How did he find my base? Tayuya, of course." Orochimaru thought
"Let go." Sasuke said
"Now. Now. I'm not going to tell you again. Watch your tone with lord Orochimaru." Kabuto said as he appeared
"Oh look. It's the number on fuck-buddy for Orochimaru." Tayuya said and Kabuto ignored her, but she saw his eye twitch a little
"Give me a reason to stop." Sasuke said
"You do remember the akatsuki are on the move now, don't you? We want the good people of the leaf village to get rid of them for us. As many of them as possible. If the other akatsuki interfere, then you might not get your precious revenge." Kabuto said
"That's a pitiful excuse." Sasuke said
"But if it helps your chances by even one small percent then it's worth it, agreed?" Kabuto asked and Sasuke relaxed his hand causing Orochimaru to release his grip
"Y'know, Sasuke. You'd have a better chance fighting Itachi if you were with me. Itachi is after me, so I'd assume I'll run into him before you do." Naruto said
"We're leaving." Orochimaru said and they went up in flames
"Oh well. Looks like they got away." Naruto said
"Why didn't you stop him, Naruto? He was right there!" Sakura said
"Because he's not a priority on this mission. We did what we needed to do and got a lot more than we expected." Naruto said as he sealed the body of the spy
"Let's go back to the leaf village." Yamato said and started to walk away with Naruto
"Pinky, how much do you love Sasuke? Is it genuine love or some schoolyard fan girl crush?" Tayuya asked
"I-I don't know anymore. I mean you saw that I tried dating before and it didn't work out." Sakura said
"Yeah. That was an epic fail." Tayuya said
"Gee thanks." Sakura said
"I only asked because I want to know if you'd hate Naruto if he were to kill Sasuke. They'll fight eventually and we both know that." Tayuya said
"I know. I don't really know to be completely honest. I mean, part of me wants Naruto to bring him back, but part of me is trying to forget about Sasuke." Sakura said
"I see. Thanks for the information." Tayuya said
Leaf village-Hokage office
"I see then." Tsunade said as they just told her about the mission
"Will that be all, lady Tsunade?" Sakura asked
"Yes. Naruto, Tayuya. Stay behind. Yamato and Sakura may leave." Tsunade said
"Yes ma'am." Sakura said and left with Yamato, then Tsunade dismissed her anbu so she could seal the room
"What happened to the spy?" Tsunade asked and Naruto pulled out a scroll
"I sealed him inside of this. He's not dead at all. Tayuya convinced me to keep him alive." Naruto said
"Why?" Tsunade asked
"Because if we were to kill him, then we wouldn't have any evidence that Danzo sent him to Orochimaru. We wanted to see if it's the same person on the file Danzo gave you. If we were to kill him, then he'd easily be able to deny sending a spy to Orochimaru so he could give him that folder." Tayuya said and Naruto unsealed the body
"Yeah. That's the person from the file he showed me. Did you find anything important in the base?" Tsunade asked and Naruto resealed the body
"We found more than what we thought we would." Naruto said and unsealed the folders they took
"There's some freaky shit in there. You're going to be pissed from what you see." Tayuya said and Tsunade skimmed through the folders
"Is this real?!" Tsunade asked
"Yeah. I figured Orochimaru kept all of this to blackmail Danzo just in case he tried to back out of a deal or something." Tayuya said
"Danzo is a dead man!" Tsunade said
"Actually, let's make him sweat it out." Tayuya said
"I'm listening." Tsunade said
"Call a council meeting and expose him in front of everyone. Those files are heavily detailed and would turn everyone against him. Let him become a rogue ninja and worry about everyone trying to kill him. Use the spy to your advantage. Have Danzo give you the file on the person he tried to have join us, show it to the council and then try to arrest him. Knowing him, he'll flee the village. It's not like he can give out any secrets since you've changed everything around and kept it locked in your office behind a blood seal." Naruto said
"I like that plan. I'd love nothing more than to kill him myself, but this works even better." Tsunade said
"Don't worry. I'm sure we'll see Danzo again in the future. He's obsessed with becoming hokage so I'm sure he'd pick the right moment to strike in order to take over." Naruto said and gave her the scroll containing the spy
"I'll call an emergency council meeting. In the meantime, Kakashi is looking for you." Tsunade said and unsealed the room, but Shizune came in
"Lady Tsunade, a council meeting has been called." Shizune ssid
"By who?" Tsunade asked
"Elders Koharu and Homura." Shizune said
"I see. I'll be there. You two are dismissed." Tsunade said
"See ya." Naruto said and they vanished
Naruto & Tayuya
"So, where do you think Kakashi is?" Tayuya asked as they were walking through the village
"It's not where I think he is, but where I know he is." Naruto said
"The fuck does that mean?" Tayuya asked
"He's behind us. He's been following us for about 5 minutes." Naruto said
"He's right." Kakashi said as, they turned around and he closed his book
"I should cut your fucking dick off for following us." Tayuya said and Kakashi backed away while covering his man parts
"Relax, Tayuya. So, what is this training I was told about?" Naruto asked
"Follow me." Kakashi said and they vanished
Training ground
"So, the training I'm talking about is to help you create the ultimate jutsu that only you can use." Kakashi said
"Ultimate Jutsu?" Tayuya asked
"That's right. Naruto is going to complete the rasengan." Kakashi said
"What do you mean, complete then rasengan?" Tayuya asked
"The fourth hokage intended to add his chakra nature to the rasengan, but he was never able to do it due to certain events. I tried it, but I was unable to add my lighting chakra nature to it and that's why I created the Chidori." Kakashi said
"What makes you think this ultimate jutsu is something Naruto can only use?" Tayuya asked
"That's because he has the chakra able to pull it off and he's the only other person other than me and Master Jiraiya that knows the rasengan." Kakashi said
"Why haven't you taught me the rasengan?" Tayuya asked
"You never asked. If you want then you can learn it while I create this jutsu." Naruto said and unsealed water balloon before tossing it to her
"What am I supposed to do with this?" Tayuya asked
"Pop it with your chakra. Now, how long will this ultimate jutsu take?" Naruto asked
"It takes years usually, but we both know a way to shorten the time you'd need to actually complete it." Kakashi said
"Shadow clones." Naruto said
"Exactly. Now, Yamato will be here as well just in case. I know you can control some of the nine tails chakra, but it's better to be safe than sorry since this training won't be easy." Kakashi said
"When do we start?" Naruto asked
"Meet me here tomorrow at noon. This will be where we meet everyday unless one of us has a mission." Kakashi said
"I'll see you tomorrow." Naruto said and Kakashi went up in smoke
"AHH. THIS IS TOO FUCKING HARD. GIVE ME A HINT." Tayuya yelled
"You're just moving the water around the balloon and not trying to pop the balloon with the water. This is the easy part. The second step is the hardest." Naruto said and she sighed
"That's it? It sounds so simple, but it's so hard." Tayuya said
"I know. Blame my father for this. He's the one who created the rasengan." Naruto said
"Let's just go home. I'll figure this out in the morning." Tayuya said
"It took me a few weeks to get this down. I think you'll get it in no time once you figure out the first part." Naruto said
"Let's go home. I'm ready to get some sleep and maybe fool around a bit." Tayuya said and vanished
"That's fine with me." Naruto said and vanished
While this was going on, Tsunade exposed Danzo's dealing to the entire council and forced him to flee the village. He has been labeled as an S-rank criminal and has a kill on sight order. Root was no longer in the village and Danzo was going into hiding until the right opportunity presented itself for him to take over Konoha by force.
