Chapter 2: Trip to Suna and a new heart
A year had passed since the Jioungu accident and things are looking up. After the accident, it was classified as an S-Rank secret only known by Minato, Kushina, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Chouji, The Sannins and the Clan Heads.
Also Orochimaru tested his natural affinity and the paper splited in half saying he have wind affinity, just like Minato. Also Jioungu incrmented his chakra reserves, so Orochimaru decided to teach him "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu) that is an advanced version of the bunshin, the only difference is that the clones are solid and can give the memories that the clone had to the user. Also he teached Naruto Futon: Daitoppa (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough) That consists in creating a powerfull gust of wind that have the power to blow a tree down.
Also Orochimaru make him sign the snake contract. When he did something interisting happened.
*Flashback*
"So how do I do this?" Naruto asked. They were in a clearing to do the summoning. If Naruto somehow summons Manda, do it when no one will appear.
"Really easy, Naruto-kun. You just have to write your name with your blood in this scroll, do the handseals and slam your hand focusing chakra on it and said Kuchiyose no Jutsu. Remember just a little bit of chakra." 'Otherwise Manda will demand sacrifaces that I don't have.' Orochimaru thought.
Naruto nodded and bit his thumb to draw blood and wrote his name in the scroll that Orochimaru gave him. Then he did the handseals and striked his open palm down in the scroll screaming "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Jutsu)". Then what happened surprised Naruto and confirmed Orochimaru's fears. Manda was summoned.
"Orochimaru!" Manda screamed "Why did you sumoned me!" And Orochimaru calmy responded "I didn't Manda." This confused Manda, becouse the only one that summoned him was him.
Before he could demand an answer he listened a voice from his head "Excuse me, I did summon you."
Manda looked up and saw Naruto hanging from his head. "You! You summoned the powerfull Manda!" Naruto only nodded with a grin. Manda glared for a while and then let out a sight with his eyes closed.
"I will accept you as our new summoner, just becouse you mannaged to summon me at such young age. But next time you summon me, remember to have sacrifices." Then Manda poofed away, back to his realm.
Orochimaru grabed Naruto before he hitted the ground. "So, how did I did Orochimaru-sensei?" Naruto asked the man who was still in shock "Yes you did Naruto-kun."
*Flashback Ends*
After that day Orochimaru told Jiraya, who doubled the training of Mito and Menma. The reason was simple. To show to Orochimaru that the child of the phropecy, Menma, was better. So far Menma haven't summoned nothing.
Orochimaru also thought him basic chakra control excercises like leaf balacing, rocks balacing and now he is training him in tree walking. In words of Orochimaru "I don't want a pathetic student."
Also he learned how to detach his arm with Jioungu and control his tendrils at will. All with help of scrolls and Orochimaru.
Now Naruto is about to start his first year of academy. He remembers the advice that he sensei gave him.
*Flashback*
Naruto was falling once again from the tree he was trying to walk on, but instead of falling in the ground like the other times he landed on the arms of Orochimaru.
"Hey Orochimaru-sensei!" Naruto greeted the man who smiled and said "KuKuKu, Good thing I was here to prevent your fall, Naruto-kun." Naruto pouted a little bit thinking this was the first time he caught him in all day.
Then Orochimaru turned serius and said "Naruto, I don't want you to show off in the academy." At the order Naruto frowned "But Why!? I want to show how awesome I am!" Orochimaru couldn't help the smirk at the comment "i know, but an awesome ninja knows how to trick his enemies by pretending to be weak."
This left Naruto thinking, then Orochimaru said "You don't have to be dead last, just a regular ninja. After the academy you can show off."
Naruto grined and nodded and Orochimaru ruffled his hair. Naruto then proceed to continue his training.
*Flashback Ends*
The accademy starts in a month and Minato have a plan before it starts.
The thing is that Naruto had been drifting apart from the family ever since he got Jioungu. So Minato wants to reconect with him before the accademy. With Orochimaru had been really hard becouse Naruto spends most of his time with him training and learning.
So Minato plan was to take Naruto to a trip, just the two of them. He have to do a busines trip to Suna, so he will use that oportunity to reconect with Naruto. What could go wrong.
*Desert*
So far nothing is working. Naruto didn't want to go becouse he wanted to complete the excercise before Orochimaru left becouse his spy network. After convincing him and Hiraishin themselves to the closest seal that he had to Suna he haven't said a word and his answers are short.
Trieng to make conversation Minato started making questions.
"So what have you learn from Orochimaru?"
The question make a smile on the kid face. He loved to talk about his sensei. "A lot! Fuuton, Doton, Suiton, Katon jutsus, the last three were really hard to learn, also the Kage Bunshin, that is really cool and the Henge and Kawarami." Minato smiled at his son. They were finnaly conecting.
"Also I can summon snakes and-" Naruto was interrupted by Minato "That sounds interesting." At the comment still excited Naruto asked "Do you want to see my familiar?" Minato only nodded with a smile.
Naruto bitted his thumb and striked his palm to the ground screaming "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Jutsu)" and a poof of smoke appeared. After the smoke dispeled a yellow orange cobra appeared and asked "You called masssssster Naruto?" naruto nodded and said "Yes Arishi, I wanted to show this jutsu to my tou-san." Arishi frowned and said "If you jusssssst want to ssssssssshow off I will take my leave." Then Arashi disapeared in a poof of smoke.
"Really impresive." Minato said ruffling Naruto hair. Naruto at start felt weird like a feeling that something is odd, then he remembered Orochimaru doing the same thing. Only that this time felt better. Naruto smiled nodded and then the continue to Suna.
*Kazekage Tower*
When they arrived at Suna they were recived and guided to the Kazekage tower.
Naruto was told to wait outside. At some moments he got bored and started exploring the tower.
There he saw a little red headed kid crying in a corner. Noticing better he could see the kanji for 'love' on his forehead.
Getting closer he smiled and said to him "Hi! I'm Naruto, Who are you?" The boy looked up and sluttered "G-Gaara."
"That's a cool name." Gaara smiled shyly at the comment "So why were you crying?" Naruto asked and Gaara lost his smile and looked down. "Becouse I'm a monster." Naruto was confused "Why?" Then Gaara punched himself but his fist conected with sand that protected him. Gaara was ready to lose a posible friend but instead of an insult he recived "WOW! That's so cool!" Naruto exclaimed and Gaara looked at him "R-Really?" Naruto only nodded and Gaara smiled. Gaara got his first friend.
*Kazekage Office*
Minato and the Kazekage were talking about peace arragments when Minato asked "So I heard you have a Jinchuricki in your son, right?" The Kazekage frowned at that "Yes, The little monster is." Now Minato frowned "Monster?"
The Kazekage nodded and said "He is out of control. He can not control his powers." Minato understood and got an idea "Kazekage-dono, What if I reinsforce the seal?" The Kazekage had a quizical look on his face and Minato explained.
"You see Kazekage-dono, Konoha's jinchurickis are left with a seal that filters the Biju chakra for the user to learn how to control it and use it at will. Then by taking care of the Jinchuricki it stays loyal to the village and have self control." Minato explained and the Kazekage nodded with a smile on his face. He treated his son poorly becouse o fear he loses control. Maybe now he can becoume a father to him.
"Very well Hokage-dono, Follow me please." Then both left the office looking for Gaara.
*With Gaara and Naruto*
Both kids were talking with each other knowing each other better. Then Gaara eyes fulled with fear. "F-Father." Naruto looked behind him and saw his dad with another man looking at them.
"Gaara, this man will make your seal better." The Kazekage said and Gaara asked "B-better how?" And the Kazekage smiled "You can sleep for example." At that Gaara eyes widen and he only could nod. Minato smiled and said "Follow me Gaara-San." Then they left leaving the Kazekage and Naruto alone.
The Kazekage looked at Naruto and asked "He didn't harm you?" Naruto shook his head "Nop. He was preatty cool. I hope I can see him again." The Kazekage smiled and left thinking 'Maybe there is a chance.'
When he left a blonde girl that had her hair tied in four ponytails that had been watching the whole thing got close and asked "Why did you talked with my brother?"
Naruto only smiled and said "Becouse he was sad, so I decided to cheer him up." At the answer the girl smiled "Thanks! My brother needed a friend, thanks for being it. I'm Temari by the way." Temari said and Naruto streched his hand "I'm Naruto, Pleased to meet you Temari-chan."
Temari nodded and said "What do you say if I show you around?" Naruto nodded and Temari grabed his hand and started showing him around Suna. That was the rest of the day of Naruto with Temari, which both enjoyed a lot.
When they got back they saw Gaara sleepin in a couch and Minato and the Kazekage shaking hands. Then Minato saw Naruto with his hand with Temari's hand and smiled at the scene.
"Ready to go?" Minato asked and Naruto nodded. After Naruto said goodbye to Temari and left a note saying goodbye to Gaara when he wakes up. He left via Hirashin with his father to a forest close to Konoha for them to talk before Minato have to go back to his duties.
The Kazekage stared at his daughter blush and thought 'Maybe an arranged marriage isn't a bad idea.'
*Road to Konoha*
Minato and Naruto were walking to Konoha, they could Hirashin to there but Minato wanted to talk more with his son and Naruto consider this training. Right now Naruto is talking about his day with Temari.
"You seem to like a lot this Temari." Minato said and Naruto nodded, "Hai, she's preatty cool." Minato was about to say something when four Iwa nin appeared and Surrounded the duo.
"You must be confident to travel by yourself and a brat Yondaime." One Iwa nin aid grinnig. "Naruto stay behind me." Minato ordered Naruto who nodded. "Hey, the brat looks like him. Do you think he is his son?" One Iwa nin questioned "You're right! Hey, Carui! Hold the brat as a hostage!" Another said and Carui nodded and grined getting closer to Naruto.
Minato throw his special kunai to Carui but was deflected by another kunai that was thrown by one of the nins. "I got you brat!" Carui said about to punch Naruto to inmobilizes him but something happened. The black tendrils inside Naruto shot from his arm towards the Iwa's nin arm catching it and breaking it making the nin scream of pain.
That called the attention of the rest. Minato using the distraction charged a doble Rasengan and hitted two of the three nins killing them. The last one turned around and got his throat slit by Minato. Minato was about to kill the last one when he saw it.
His son black tendrils took out the heart of the Iwa nin and putted it inside of Naruto's body. Carui only whispered "Monster…" And died.
Naruto was shocked. He just kill someone. He didn't wanted to kill him! Then he saw his father coming to him "T-Tou-san… I-I didn't want to…" Naruto cried and his father hugged him. "I know, I know Naruto. Don't worry I am here for you." Minato said to calm him down which seemed to work.
Then Minato broked the hug and took out a scroll with the kanji for 'earth'. He opened the scroll and there was a white goat mask with yellow marking. Naruto looked at it and asked "What is that?"
Minato smiled to him and said "This is a mask for your heart. You see, Orochimaru told me that the hearts you are going to obtain might come out to battle if you want. This masks are going to protect and be the face of your hearts." Minato explained and Naruto nodded feeling better already from his first kill.
"So how do I do it?" Naruto asked and Minato answered "Try to focus your tendrils gather around your new heart and pull it out with tendrils around and give it a shape. I'll take care of the rest."
Naruto nodded and took of his shirt and it was the first time Minato saw the stiches. They were all acros his body and back. He also had in both arms. In the wrists and in the upper forearm area.
Then Naruto tried to locate his new heart. He could feel it moving around his body trieng to acomodate itself. When he found it, he focused chakra to pull it out. Then the stiches in his back opened letting out the tendrils that took form of a 9 foot tall monster that was width with his shoulders in the tallest part of the body with long arms that reached to his knees. Minato then putted the mask between in the middle between the soulders. After pushing chakra the mask stayed there. Naruto mentally comanded to wave his hand and the tendril monster did as ordered.
"Cool!" Naruto screamed and Minato chuckled. Naruto called the monster 'Goat' Becouse the mask and putted it back inside him, leaving the mask in the upper part of his back.
Minato knew that his weardrobe needed changes to keep the mask hidden. Then he Hiraishin them both to the Hokage tower to talk about everything with Kushina and Orochimaru.
There were going to be changes, especially in his training.
In two weeks he starts the academy.
And done! This is chapter 2 completed. the pairing is NarutoxTemari by the way. Next chapter are the years in the academy and he will get another heart. Can you guess who will it be? Leave it on the reviews. And that is all. Till next time.
