Naruto was up bright and early the next day. He was thinking of ways to train himself. Minato gave them three more days to train or rest. However Konoah forces were already on the move.
So Naruto decided that he would train for two days straight and rest on the last day.
"where the hell is he?" Naruto murmured. The blonde boy was looking for the first hokage he knew that the man was very talented and an all rounded shinobi. He wanted to fight the man. He knew if he fought him he would gain valuable experience and fighting capabilties.
His father told him that the man could be found in the senju compound. But he was not there. not even his brother could be found. 'You know if you focus you could easily track them down. especially the first hokage since he too is one with nature.'
Naruto nodded. 'Yeah but I didn't want it to come to that.' The boy closed his eyes and began to focus. He sensed everyone in the village. It took him about fifteen minutes to find the man and lock onto his chakra.'You need to learn how to do that with your eyes open.'Naruto ignored the fox for the time being. He began to make his way to the man. Naruto's senses were sharp so when the blond grew closer it baffled him that man's chakra just suddenly disapeared.
'Kyuubi did you see that? His signature is completely gone. That never happened before.'
The huge fox wasn't surprised however.' It's simple the man is suppressing his will have to focus harder. Or use your eyes to find traces of his chakra.'
Naruto nodded. 'I have a general area of where he could be I'll start there.' Naruto jumped on top of the rooftops and ran towards the outskirts of konoah. Before the first hokages chakra signature disappeared it was leading him to the forest of death. Once he made it to the gates he stopped and scanned the area with his eyes for the most potent chakra traces that he could find. It didn't take him long. The blond began to easily follow it. He was very careful however because this was his first time in this part of village. Naruto saw huge bears and tigers that roamed the surface floor. Spiders were also huge these animals reaching to the height of a two story house. There chakra signature were strong but the one Naruto was following was way more potent. There was another one that was a bit similar to the first hokages but Naruto could naturally tell the difference with the two. He stopped when the chakra trail went up – high into the canopy.
The blonde was slightly nervous. 'It is way to quiet.' He thought.
"Ahhhh and who are you young man? You must be very talented if you are able to find me even with my chakra suppressed…even my wife has problems in finding me." The man's voice was boisterous and full of life.
Naruto swallowed a bit. "my name is Naruto!" he yelled.
Another voice came out from no where. The man's voice being more rough and hard as steel. "Ahhh Minato's son. I was wonder when I was going to meet you… now, what do you want!?"
"Now now brother. I'm sure the boy has good reason for interrupting our meditation." Naruto swallowed. Focusing a lot harder now that he could detect where they were coming from. The first Hokage and second Hokage chakra are monstrous. It was a wonder how the first could completely suppress it.
"I need some serious experience since I'm entering into a war. I was wondering if I could fight you Lord first Hokage. I have two days to put my all into this fight. With the rumors of your chakra being so massive I thought you would be the perfect match in fighting me.""
The two were silent for a moment until the second Hokage spoke up again. "The kid got guts. But he is very stupid if he thinks he can take you on in a fight."
"No I'm not to positive that I could hold my own with you two but I need the experience of fighting stronger foes before I head out there." Naruto blinked. When his eyes were closed the first Hokage was standing rightn in front of him on a large tree branch. Naruto also saw the second Hokage who was kneeling on the trunk of a tree to the right of him.
'They both plan to attack'
"Very well Naruto. We have one rule though." Tobirama said. Naruto raised an eyebrow curious to what the rule would be. "Yes?"
"We know about the two paths that you are forbidden to use on your comrades. On this day forth I remove that order from you. I want you to go all out. That's your only chance in being able to even hold your own against us."
Naruto frowned. "I don't think that would be a good idea. One of my paths seems to be unstoppable and with the other one I can easily counter any jutsu that is thrown at me."
Hashirama laughed loudly startling the blonde a bit. "Don't worry young one. I'm sure we can handle anything that's thrown at us. Now if I were you I'd get into your fighting stance." Naruto withdrew his sword and put it in his mouth. He then got into a defense position. He was light on his toes just in case. Looking at them he could tell that he was their prey. There killing intent gave him the idea that they would not hold back. Tobirama disappeared in a single second. The next second he was airborne over Naruto flipping through handsigns. Naruto also noticed that in front of him, the first hpHokage Hashirama was also flipping through handsigns. Naruto's nine tail fox chakra cloak activated. The fox permanently granted him a tail of chakra but he let the fox have free reign when it came to battle.
The red chakra claws shot towards at the first and second Hokages who were just finishing their handseals. Naruto had a firm grip on the two and with all of his power he through the two in opposite directions. 'Thanks Kyuubi. They are way to troublesome to deal with when they're together.'
'use this opportunity while you still can.'The fox chimed in. Naruto nodded. He began to create handsigns himself but just when he was putting his hands together tobimaru landed a devastating punch to the boys face sending him right through a couple of trees. When Naruto slammed into the last tree and it didn't break he instantly shot off of it.
'Be grateful that the cloak was still activated. If it wasn't you would of surely suffered from a broken jaw and a fractured spine. Keep it on just in case another devastating attack lands.'Naruto nodded he couldn't help but to agree with the fox. The blonde did one hand sign and created a thousand of shadow clones. They all charged at the second hokage's previous location. Naruto also gave them a mental command for half of them too turn invisible and wait for the perfect moment to strike. A couple more of his clones began to create a heavy mist in the area. It was so thick that Naruto could barely see the two chakra signatures.
Hashirama was still some distance away from the blonde. But Naruto quickly knew that the little leverage that he had was over. With Naruto clones they were all surrounding Tobirama each and every one of them either slashed with their kunai or were throwing there weapons at him. The younger Senju brother was avoiding all of there attacks easily. With grace and perfect precision he took them out with just taijutsu alone. The man smiled to himself however. 'I didn't think the brat would you his bijuu so suddenly. And does he even know that I created the shadow clone jutsu? Probably not. It's amazing that someone can use this many clones.' The man then began to see mist rolling in his area. All of the clones around him began to step lighter and lighter as the mist grew thicker. Eventually it was so silent that the man swore he could he hear his own heart beat.
Unfortunately for Naruto though the man was a master sensor. He had no problems dispersing clones that came his way and instead of defending, the man was now on offense. The man was far faster then anything Naruto (or the Narutos )has seen thus far. Even when his team faced the third hokage the man wasn't this fast. One of the clones began to do handsigns. "Fuuton: Daitoppa ( great breakthrough) " the clone unleashed vicious wind from his mouth aimed at the second Hokage. The jutsu was so strong that it knocked down the huge trees that Hashirama had created years ago. The second hokage was also hit. But the man didn't move he instead withstood the whole jutsu as he created his own hand signs.
"I'm done playing with your clones you want to face ninjas like me you have to do better then this. I need to see you more aggressive ! Suiton: Tsunami no rakka" (falling tsunami) torrents of water gushed out of Tobirama's mouth. It was like a huge lake was being dumped on the clones and dispersing them. Water was still pouring out of the man's mouth. The real Naruto jumped high into the trees when he saw the water quickly rise. His heart also skipped a beat when giant walls of wood circled a huge portion of the forest. The water quickly began to rise even higher as well easily surpassing the canopy of the forest. With his speed the twelve year old boy appeared on top of the walls easily watching the water rise. He couldn't stand there for long however because his senses alerted him of chakra coming his way. The boy jumped up high just as branches of wood attempted to ensnare his legs. Part of his chakra cloak vanished when then wood successfully wrapped around him – the boy didnt jump high or far enough as quickly as he should. The branches spun him around a good few times until it finally loosened its grip and sent him flying high into the sky. In mid flight the boy began doing some handsigns. His arms and legs were completely covered in nothing but lighting chakra. ' Hashimrama was impressed the boy was loosing very badly but he was still rolling with the punches doing his best to create an opening.
His brother then flashed right besides him. "if this is all he can do I'm unimpressed." Tobirama said with a grunt. Hashimrama smiled looking up at the boy who encased his arms and legs with lightning chakra. The way he was coming down the boy was surely going to land right in front of the two.
"You were always hard to impress back when we were little… However the boy is faring well against us. Although I haven't made any direct moves against him. The boy had a strong drive… Let's continue this later because he is getting closer." Tobimaru flipped through hand signs. huge forms of water began forming all around him. They twisted and splashed until they took the form of six water dragons. Like hashirama said the boy landed right in front of the two. He slammed his fist into the water sending a wave of lightning chakra into it. Lightning jutted out everywhere like a chain reaction. The boy had little control of it once it touched water but was protected by the lightning that covered his arms and legs.
The lighting was quick but Hashirama were quicker. With a couple of hand signs roots and tree branches picked the two hokage's up with the second hokage's water dragons circling menacingly around them. Tobirama pointed at Naruto causing the dragons to lurch away from there host and careen their way to the blonde. Naruto pushed his hand out which were aimed at the water dragons. They were getting close. The closer they got the more they formed into a single dragon which was complete huge. It was the size of a boss summons. "The fool. This could very well kill him if he doesn't move." Tobirama said with a bit of a worried tone in his voice as he looked down at the boy and his monstrous jutsu.
" No he won't. My medical skill will be sure that the boy lives." Hashirama said with no doubt in his voice. Just when the jutsu was going to collide with naruto the dragon froze.
"Kami's spirit" Naruto murmmered. Hashimrama notice that his brother stiffened up considerably. He didn't move an inch neither did his jutsu. It happened for a moment but Tobiramu gained back full control of his body. His jutsu was however lost; completely controlled by Naruto.
"That was a very bizarre experience." Tobirama said. Before the man could explain what happen the water dragons vanished before their very eyes. The two Kages were truly shocked. The full chakra of the water dragons was now in his body.
The boy flipped through a very long series of handsigns. "katon: Doragonburesu" (dragon's breath)
"Shit!" Tobiramu muttered. A beam of fire shot out of Naruto's mouth it grew in size and the flames traveled just as fast as sound itself. Hashimrama jumped down off the pillar of wood as he flipped through handsigns. The beam destroyed the upper part of the overly grown branches and roots leaving a huge hole in its wake. Naruto was careful that the beam of fire flickered off once the amount of tobiramu's last jutsu was spent. The boy blinked and the man was standing right in front of him delivering a sickening punch to the blondes gut causing all of the wind to escape the boys lungs. With Narutos chakra cloak still active the red claw of chakra punched back landing a hit to tobimaru's face and causing the man to fly a long distance away from him.
Once the man stopped flying he slowly got up looking at the blonde with newfound respect. "I underestimated you boy! It seems like you have full mastery over your bijuu."
Naruto shook his head. "no… I've barely scratched the surface Hokage sama. However me and the kyuubi are allies. I have great respect for his power and Knowledge of the shinobi world."
Tobimaru scoffed. " You have respect for it? Don't make me laugh boy. The Kyuubi is only a weapon. It has no conscience. It is simply a monster."
Naruto frowned deeply at the man. He was slowly but surely starting not to like Tobirama. "HE does have a conscience…and HE does have feelings. "
"As long as the bijuu stays in its plays im perfectly fine that you speak to it." The man said as he tried to wave the topic off. But Naruto caught his attention when he laughed.
"You have no say about this anyway old man. You may be back but this is MY time period." Naruto said his voice was steely and cold as ice. The man looked at Naruto completely different now. The boy believes in the bijuu a great deal. That was probably why he has such amazing fighting capabilities with it.
Tobirama smiled. "Your right. I didn't ask to be here. In fact I rather be dead right now because my time here was over long ago. I left the responsibilities to Hiruzen and Danzo. But now I am here and now I have a duty. And that duty is securing Konoah and making sure it's well protected. And your wrong. This is not your time period anymore. Everyone from the past has now been revived and this will no doubt cause problems all over the elemental nations. I don't know the reason for us being revived but I do know that I will stop anything that tries to harm us. With deadly force!"
Naruto nodded. "I don't know about protecting Konoah. But i do know that I will give my life for the people that are precious to me." Naruto sensed a potent amount of killing intent from the man.
Tobirama glared at the boy. "And what do you think would happen if konoah was destroyed" Naruto was silent he picked up where the second Hokage was going with this. "If this city get over run what do you think will happen to your precious people?" Tobirama spat out.
"they would be at the mercy of our enemies." Naruto said with a sigh. "I may have been to rash… speaking like that. I didn't even let that register in my head. Konoah is important but the people here are too judgemental and egotistical."
Tobirama face soften a bit as he crossed his arms. "Yes your right but that will be everywhere you go. You have to learn how to deal with those kind of people."
Hashirama shunshined besides his brother looking at Naruto with a huge smile on his face. "your doing well against my brother Naruto! however he is significantly weaker then me. My punches can level mountains."
Naruto swallowed when he heard that accusation. "I will be holding back my physical strength a great deal so I don't accidentally kill you. It just hit afternoon. We have all day today and tomorrow to get you in fighting shape."
