Chapter 3: Out

"Brat, stop cursing already."

"Fuck you! And fuck this motherfucking cat! I feel my face breaking!"

"And? You admitted you liked it. Besides, you can regenerate."

"That's not the point! I am not a random slut to let be touched by everyone! Even less by this fucking cat!"

Hiruzen was chuckling as he saw both, Ibiki and Naruto argue., while the Daimyo wife had a shocked face. She quickly snapped the cat from Naruto's arm and left quickly.

"Stupid bitch, can't see that the cat hates her?" Naruto mumbled as Ibiki slapped the back of his head.

"Start behaving. You clearly scared her." Ibiki turned to the Hokage "Sorry that you saw that Lord Hokage."

Hiruzen waved his hand in front of him "Do not worry Ibiki. I had seen worse from his potty mouth."

"Hey!"

"Anyway; would you like another mission? We have a couple of D-Ranks to give-"

"Fuck no!" Naruto interrupted and Ibiki slapped him again but he ignored the strike "I had been doing this shitty D-Ranks for the fucking month I had been a genin! I want and deserve a real mission."

"Brat! Shut the hell up!" Ibiki scolded him and Hiruzen nodded.

"Well, if Naruto believes he is ready, I think I have a C-Rank around here." Ibiki and Naruto stopped their glaring match to look at the elder hokage.

"Really?" Both asked at the same time and the Hokage nodded handing Ibiki a scroll.

"Deliver this scroll to a team of Taki. The meeting spot is all in here." He said giving him a slip of paper "Good luck."

Naruto grinned and Ibiki smirked "You heard brat. Go get ready for a day or two of travel."

"Aye sir! Thanks Old Man!" Ibiki sighed and Hiruzen chuckled as Ibiki sighed.

He really needs to teach him manners.

*Outside Konoha, Road to Taki*

"Oi Ibiki." Naruto said with a shit eating grin on his face.

"What Naruto?"

"Do you think we are going to kill anyone?" Naruto asked excitedly and Ibiki growled. Why didn't he saw this coming?

The second day together, Ibiki found out about Naruto's 'immortality'. What he calls 'Jashin's Blessing', makes him immune to death even in extreme cases like decapitation or ripping his heart from his chest and crushing it.

He and Anko tried both much to Naruto's pleasure and Inoichi anger.

Also, from being the son of the former Kyubi Jinchuriki, somehow, his body managed to regenerate at impressive speeds. But it also seems that the more his injuries, the slower he regenerates.

For example, if he loses a finger or have a scratch they heal or grow at great speeds. But if he loses an arm, it grows slower, like 3 to 5 minutes to get back to his normal size.

But his most dangerous and scary part of his kit, is a technique he calls 'Jashin's Curse'.

By drinking a drop of anything blood as he stands in the symbol of Jashin, the person that he drinks the blood, feels all that Naruto feels. For example, if he stabs himself in the leg with the Jashin's curse on someone, the effects will be on the victim.

To know that he is doing it, you just need to see his body as Naruto's skin turns pitch black with a white marking referring to bones.

And it is hard to avoid, due to his speed and ability to use his scythe that has a rope at the end tied to his arm, making it an awesome weapon to throw and to fight with. Also, his retractable pike serves to make surprise attacks in the middle of fights.

"Oi... you okay Ibiki? You kind of spaced out." Ibiki head snapped to back to his student that was starring at him.

"I'm fine. And no. I don't think that we will kill someone. So try to behave once we arrive." Naruto groaned as he nodded.

*Road to Konoha, Once the mission was over*

"C'mon! You are still mad at me!?" Naruto asked his sensei that cursed under his breath.

"You broke one of the genins arm when he told you looked silly! I told you to behave!"

"Oi! It wasn't my fault! The asshole was practically asking for a good ass-kicking! Besides... did you saw his face once his arm was broken like a twig? It was fantastic..." Naruto said with a grin and Ibiki growled at him.

"Look... Once we get back, you and I are going to have a long talk about-"

"Someone's following us." Naruto interrupted as Ibiki looked back the road and narrowed his eyes.

"Show yourself." Ibiki ordered and from the shadows, a man with long brown hair, green pants, stiches all over his body, red eyes with green iris showed up.

Ibiki narrowed his eyes knowing who it was "Kakuzu from Taki... The hell you want."

This Kakuzu guy scoffed "I was coming back from a mission when I saw you and remembered the high bounty you have on your head. So, I decided to take it."

"Oi Ibiki, who's the ragdoll?" Naruto asked and Kakuzu glared at him.

"How you called me brat?"

"His name is Kakuzu. He is a missing-nin from Taki. Little is known for his abilities, but he is a S-Rank shinobi so be careful." Ibiki informed him and Naruto grinned.

"Oh? A strong guy, aren'tcha?" He said as he grabbed the rope of his scythe and started to swing it. "I bet that Lord Jashin would love to have your soul..."

Ibiki eyes widened as he knew what Naruto would do now "Naruto! Don't-"

"Too late!" He screamed back as he rushed to Kakuzu that narrowed his eyes at him.

In one swift motion, Kakuzu hand went through Naruto's chest. "What a pest." Kakuzu muttered. His eyes widened when he saw that Naruto's head snapped at him, headbutted him and in a quick motion stabbed him on the chest with his pike.

Kakuzu felt how this brat just killed one of his hearts by this sneak attack. He glared at him and Naruto glared back.

"How the fuck are you not dead!?"

"That's my question. You literally don't have a heart anymore."

"It will grow back asshole! But how are you not dead!?"

Kakuzu glared at him before throwing him away with a swift motion. Naruto stood up as blood came out of his mouth and chest.

Kakuzu blocked the attack from Ibiki as he watched how Naruto's chest slowly closed again.

"What is he?" Kakuzu asked Ibiki that jumped back to create some space.

"That's none of your business." Ibiki said as he took out a Kunai.

"It is now. I am taking the kid with me." Ibiki narrowed his eyes.

"Like hell you will."

"Oi! Why aren't you bleeding! And how the fuck are you still alive!" Kakuzu glared at Naruto.

"Just like you. I am immortal."

Ibiki and Naruto's eyes widened at the revelation. Kakuzu took out the pike from his chest and threw it to Naruto's head and got stuck on his forehead.

Naruto took out his pike and stared at him. "You also follow Jashin?"

Kakuzu scoffed "I don't believe in that bullshit. I only believe in money."

"Bullshit!? Jashin is the only true god out there! Thanks to him I will live forever!" Naruto said getting closer to the man and glared at him as Kakuzu glared back.

"I don't care. Now, you can come with me peacefully or will I have to knock you out and kill your sensei?"

"Or, you can join us." Naruto and Kakuzu turned to Ibiki that was smirking.

Kakuzu glared at him. "And why would I do that?"

"Simple; you believe in money? The hokage can pay you a high amount for you to fight for us. And you can help me train the brat if you are so interested. So? What's your answer?"

Kakuzu closed his eyes. It was a tentative offer. Money, a place to stay and he can see why or how this brat is immortal. Maybe have someone that won't die no matter how much it annoys him.

"I'll talk to your hokage." Kakuzu said and Naruto growled.

"Are you fucking with me Ibiki!? He is the enemy!"

"Not anymore." Ibiki said with a grin "He is our future ally."

"Whatever. Let's go." Kakuzu said as he walked towards the village, receiving a confused look by Naruto.

"Oi Ibiki; he has masks on his back."

*Hokage Tower*

"You are really willing to pay me that much? Just for helping out as you say?" Kakuzu asked not believing it as Hiruzen nodded.

"That's right. For staying here, helping the village, you will receive the amount we talked before." Kakuzu grinned. "But; you will be under watch by Ibiki here."

"I don't care. Part of the deal is for me to train the brat."

"I still don't like that." Naruto complained and Kakuzu scoffed.

"Like I care."

"Oh! And before you leave, Ibiki I need you and Naruto to go and assist Team 7 in Wave." Hiruzen said and Ibiki raised a brow.

"Why exactly?"

"Zabuza Momochi attacked them."

And done! That was chapter 3 of 'Faith'. Hope you enjoyed. Now, why I added Kakuzu. He is one of my favorite Akatsuki characters and one of my favorite Naruto characters as well. And I think he will fit well in the story. And that's all!
