Chapter 6
„Paradox."
[Inside the Tower,after the preliminaries.]
Rest of them matches went badly for the both Hinata and Rock Lee. In Hinata match,she was fighting with her cousin Neji. He wounded her pretty badly and she was almost killed. Thankfully Gai,Kurenai and Kakashi stopped him from finishing her. Lee who was fighting with Gaara,almost defeated him,but ultimately his left arm and leg were crush to the point where couldn't be Ninja anymore.
Despite little of knowing them,Naruto promised to avenge their defeat by fighting and winning Chuunin exam. Right now all of those who won preliminaries stood in front of Hokage.
"I will now begin explanation of the main matches."Hokage started with smile."Your main matches will be shown in front of everyone. We wish for all of you to show off all of your abilities as your country representative power. Therefore,the main matches will begin in one month.
"We're not going to do this right here,right now Hokage-sama?"Naruto asked bringing small chuckle to Old Kage.
Normally he would call him Jiji in front of everyone. Since he got in possesion of that Watch,Naruto changed but mostly remained the same.
"The one month is a time to conduct appopriate preparations."Hokage explained."In the other words,we are going to annouce to the Feudal Lords and head ninja of the individual countries that preliminary matches ended. And time is needed to gather those people to the main match."
"So this is a time for us to prepare."Neji concluded and Kage noded.
"It'll give you a time to understand your rival and improve on your skills."Hokage added.'But I don't think any of you'll have time to prepare for fight with Naruto though...'"You're free to go. Prepare youself and make your Villages proud. Ah! I would forget. You need to stay for second,so you'll know who are you fighting with. Walk to Anko-chan and take a number."With that everyone took their numbers and look at Kage."So number 1-2 will fight,3-4 too etc. But to We want you to have a surprise,so you won't find out who you will fight with. So memorize the numbers. That way,you'll have to push yourself to max,thus becoming stronger. That will be it. You're dismiss. Aside from you Naruto-kun."At that Blond rose his eyebrow and waited untill genins left the area.
"So what is it,Hokage-Jiji?"Naruto askec confused.
"It's about what happend in the forest. I know your team run into Orochimaru."Hokage said seriously."We thought that Orochimaru marked Sasuke-kun,so what happend? Did you kick his ass?"At that both Anko and Ibiki look at him in disbelief.
"Hokage-sama you cannot be serious."Ibiki stated.
"I know they survive the encounter with him,but this kid couldn't beat that Bastard Snake."Anko protested. Both Naruto and Hokage chuckled.
"Sadly,I didn't. He Snake remember?"Naruto said with cheeky smile,but quickly got serious."No...I'm still not in level to fight with him. Even with Omnitrix..."
"Do you mean the watch? You know it's true name?"Hokage asked,confusing Ibiki and Anko even more.
"Yeah,a lot of things happend in the Forest od Death. I would explain,but..."He trailed looking at Ibiki and Anko.
"You can trust them. Ibiki-kun,Anko-chan what are you about to learn is an S-rank secret."Hokage informed them. They noded and look at Naruto. He up roll his sleeve revealing orange watch."What happend to the Watch,Naruto-kun?"
"I got an upgrade from new friend called Albedo,so to say. I meet one of the creators of the Omnitrix. He helped in training Omnitrix. But he need it to unlock his true form,because he have similar watch. They both got link and by default,he was changed into me. So I need to go and help him since he did the same for me."He explained shocking Hokage and confusing the rest even more."That sound weird,I know but it is true. Anyway let me show you what I can transform into now!"He said,slamming the dial on his watch and in the flash of orange he changed form.
"Feedback!"Naruto exclaim after transformation Feedback had one orange eye in the middle of his head. He had two antennae and a tail each featuring a plug on its tip. He had four fingers on each hand with similar plugs on the tip of each finger. Feedback also had only two front toes. Feedback wore Omnitrix symbol on his chest."What do you think?"Both Ibiki and Anko were on alert,ready to attack but they were stop by Hokage arm.
"I see you got more power,huh?"Hokage asked with chuckle. Feedback grinned and put his hands behind his the back of his head"But were you able to got rid of Sasuke curse seal?"At that Feedback grinned and touch the Omnitrix. In the flash of orange,he turn into Clockwork."Did you somehow got rid of the curse with that one?"Anko heard that paid attention to Clockwork.
"No,I didn't."He replied shortly,causing Anko to sigh."Clockwork can manipulate time,so...I kinda erase Sasuke who got that mark,and swap him with one before Orochimaru puke and launch himself at Sasuke..."He explained with weak chuckle.
"Naruto,what you did was very dangerous!"Hokage scolded,making Clockwork flinch."You cause a..."
"Paradox!"Someone finish Hokage sentence. They look around for the source of the voice. Hokage saw a man standing on the balcony on their left and his eyes winded.
"No...But I thought you're dead."Hokage mumbled in total disbelief. Everyone else look at the balcony and saw a man reaching his late mid 30,with long white spicky hair. He was dress in old Shinobi gear from Third Shinobi War and with white cloak over it."How is this possible?"Ibiki and Anko gasped at the sight of man,while Clockwork rubbed his metal head.
"Um...Jiji,who is this guy?"He looked at the Man on the balcony,still confused.
"Well,this my supposedly dead student...Jiraiya the Toad Sage."Clockwork gasped as Jiraiya smirked. Suddenly in the flash of blue he appeared before them."What the? I didn't sense him move."
"Hokage-jiji he just walk in down from the balcony. You didn't saw that?"Clockwork said,shocking the group.
"Ah! Chronosapien,that's why you saw me moving normally."Jiraiya said with chuckle,as he look at Clockwork chest and raise his eyebrow."Hoo? I see now. The Omnitrix,huh? Well I have good idea how you might be. Naruto isn't it?"He asked,shocking Clockwork,who changed back to Naruto.
"Woah! How do you know me?"Naruto asked in awe.
"Well,I did..."He pause sensing Sarutobi stare on him."Don't tell me you've keep him dark. Especially since he had Omnitrix."
"Jiraiya..."Hokage snarled."Where. Have. YOU. Been?!"
"I'll keep this short. Remember when I told I was going after Orochimaru?About 13 years ago."Hokage noded remembering his conversation with him."I found out that Orochi-baka wanted to control time,so he could achieve inmortality. Orochimaru created some type of device. To get more infos,I took personality of one of the sciencetist. When he launch the device and created a portal,I revealed myself and fought with Orochimaru. That didn't gone way and I accidently destroyed something,which cause the portal to become unstable. I was suck into it and trap there for milions of years. I went insane,but after few centuries I became bored and decided to study the time itself. Now I have complete understanding over space-time continuum. Though...I forget my name in doing so. Thanks for reminder."Jiraiya said with grin,causing Hokage to gave a long sigh. Naruto and the rest stare at them.
"We'll go now,Hokage-sama. Don't worry,We'll keep it as a secret."Both Ibiki and Anak said in unison,before vanishing in poof of smoke.
"I'm getting too old for this..."Hokage said nursing his temples."Anyway how do you know this alien true name?"
"I've been traveling through time,Sensei. I saw many things,meet many people."He replied with smile looking at Naruto. He huffed his hair,which cause him to get tick mark."Naruto there is something that We must discuss. It's about what you did as Clockwork."
"What? What did I do?"Naruto asked rubbing the back of his head.
"Because you erase Uchiha boy with curse mark and swap him with the one from minute ago,you create a paradox. Something that shouldn't happend and has no sense."He explained,so Naruto would understand."My job is to look over accidents like this. I'm sorry,but I have to correct this paradox. Sasuke must get the curse mark."At that both Hokage and Naruto gasped.
"Jiraiya...there must be something we can do! Sasuke-kun didn't deserve to get it."Hokage said,looking at Jiraiya with pleading eyes.
"No! You can't do that!"Naruto yelled at Jiraiya who gave a sigh."I didn't use Clockwork just let Sasuke get that stupid mark anyway! Orochimaru wants something from him! I know that!"At that Jiraiya gave a chuckle.
"I know it must be hard for you,but there is no other way. I have to fix this or rather I already did. Sasuke is right now in hospital and Kakashi is sealing his curse seal."Jiraiya said,taking a old fashioned watch from his pocket. Hiruzen raise his eyebrow at the sight of familiar watch."So why didn't told him? Naruto have right to know. Even more with Omnitrix now."
"You know why. He may have matured,but Naruto-kun have to reach Chuunin rank first."Hokage replied with crossed arms."Beside I made a promise to him."
"Right...Oh well,Naruto it's seems like you won't learn about the truth untill will reach Chuunin rank."Jiraiya pouted.
"Oi! What are you not telling me?! So what should we do about Orochimaru then?!"Naruto demanded,but Jiraiya huffed his hair even more."Don't treat me like a Child for Kami sake!"
"Hahah...Don't worry,you'll learn in the month. Beside now that I have all the time I need...I can train you like I intended long ago. About Orochimaru,We'll deal with him in time."Jiraiya said,which shock Naruto."But right now,I have to go the Mount Myoboku. Gamabunta,Pa and Ma need to know that I'm alive. See you around..."He vanish in blue flash and left the two confused.
"Why so many things is happening right now?"Hokage sighed and look at Naruto."Naruto-kun you may go now. I need to get back to the office and finish the paper work."Blond noded and grinned.
[Outside of the Forest of Death. Training ground Seven.]
Naruto and the rest of Team Seven,beside Sasuke appeared on Training Ground Seven. They look around and nothing happend.
"Didn't Albedo said We'll meet him after Second Exam?"Sakura wondered confused.
"I'm confuse too,Sakura-chan."Naruto admitted with nod."Maybe I can contact with him via Omnitrix?"
"Are you sure this will work Naruto?"Kakashi asked still reading his Icha Icha book.
"Might give it a try. Omnitrix contact me with Albedo."Naruto commanded with serious voice and nothing happend.
"Hahaaha...Quess I was right."Sakura chirped and Blond pouted,untill he heard a bip from Omnitrix.
[...Voice identification confirm. Welcome Naruto Uzumaki. I will now contact you with Albedo...Hold on...]
Everyone eyes pop out and stare at the Omnitrix which just speak with robotic Naruto voice. Suddenly they was another bip.
[...Naruto? Is that you?...]
"Albedo! Yeah,it's me!"Naruto said with grin."I didn't knew I could contact with you!"
[...Well,I thought it would be me,who contact you but whatever. The ship is in front of you. Wait for me!...]
Suddenly in front of them,slowly appeared a giant space ship(A/N:It's Tetrax Ship). They eyes winded even more at the sight of giant metal bird. Suddenly a ramp open and Albedo came out of it.
Now he was dressed in similar fashion as Naruto. But instread of orange and blue jacket and pants,he wore a red and black colored ones. Also Albedo didn't had Naruto headband.
"It's good to see you two. I see there a new person,how nice."Albedo commented glancing at Kakashi who was still looking at the space ship."Where is Sasuke?"
"He doesn't fell well,so he's in hospital."Kakashi explained looking at Albedo for the first time surprised."You're telling truth that this guy looks like your clone."
"You didn't believe me?!"Naruto outbursted.
"Of course I did. But it was sounding kinda strange to me."Kakashi explained with eye smile.
"If everything is clear now...Then get on the ship."Albedo said walking back to the Ship. Team Seven follow him as the ramp was slowly closing after they enter.
After few minutes and glancing at the various rooms,they stop at the cockpit.
"Woah! That amazing..."Said Sakura in awe. She couldn't understand the things around,but it look impressive.
"I think this is the cockpit of the ship."Kakashi concluded and Albedo noded.
"You're right...um I didn't catch your name."Kakashi eye smiled and look at Albedo.
"It's Hatake Kakashi,nice to meet you. I'm really thankfull for helping Naruto."He said with small bow.
"Of course. Now then...How about We go to one of my labs and unlock my galvan form?"Albedo offered and Blond noded."As for you two,feel free to have a look around the ship."With that both Naruto and Albedo left the two to explore the ship.
End of Chapter!
