Author's note: I would just like to say before I start writing this chapter is that Akutski is going to play a huge role in my story and the reason I'm bringing this up because I don't read the manga I only watch the episodes so I only know 4 members and that's Itachi, Kisame, Deidara, and Sasori. Every other 5 member's I'm going to name myself but I will give you every detail about them I can, enjoy this next chapter.
I wonder what she looks like. Questions about Naruto's mother haunted him all night giving him very little sleep. He looked over at the clock it read 5:00. This is going by so slow. Naruto slowly rose out of bed even though he had roughly an hour until he was supposed to meet with Tsunade.
"Naruto, as I expected you didn't get much sleep. Let's go take a walk, kill some time." Jiraiya knew Naruto wasn't able to sleep because he kept an eye on him all night making sure that seal stayed in check. "Besides I don't really think if Tsunade minded if we came early anyways." They both moved at almost a snail's crawl the quick-tempered hokage.
(At Tsunade's office)
Thud, thud. "Come in you two." Tsunade knew it would be them she to also knew Naruto wasn't having the best day either. "Naruto, before I began telling you your new team I thought I would inform you that Neji is now a special jounin so he no longer is with Gai's team. So we moved Sakura into that team, I know it probably doesn't really affect you but I don't want you getting your hopes up that it's her and Kakashi." She didn't notice any emotion, which surprised her because she knew he loved that girl. The three of them waited until Naruto's team arrived just chatting and discussing old times and memories that will never be forgotten. Roughly an hour later a knock was herd on the door.
"Yo, Naruto." Kakashi stepped in the door. He looked puzzled and by the look on Naruto's face he was wondering what was going on.
"I thought you said I wasn't going to have him as my sensei?" Naruto looked at Tsunade's face and knew she lied about Kakashi and he hoped maybe about Sakura too.
"You see Kakashi, your always late and I took that in consideration and asked you to show up about an hour ago. Seems like even you were fooled." Tsunade chuckled because it's not very often someone catches Kakashi off guard like that.
"Humph, I guess your right, well Naruto meet your new team." Kakashi moved out of the doorway and in walked in two people, one male and one female. The female spoke first.
"I take it your Naruto, Kakashi was right you are a shrimp. Well anyways my name is Chizu." Chizu stood at about 5'8 and was quite slim; on the back of her shirt was a dragon symbol. She wore mostly royal blue with a bright yellow stripe going along her pants.
"My name is Akira, and I'm glad to be on your team." The male was very built having a very good amount of muscle. He had a black band tied around his left arm and he looked about Naruto's height.
"Naruto, Chizu master's in solely fire jutsu's and Akira is a very smart man who uses Taijutsu and many illusionary techniques to keep his opponent off balance while striking. Chizu can also hold her ground in a Taijutsu fight and I would say is the best female in this village when it comes to fire jutsu's." Kakashi knew the potential of these three was amazing and he was very glad to have them, and Naruto could see it in his face.
"Well you four have your mission now that you have met I hope you will complete this mission successfully." Tsunade seemed to rush them out of the door. The 3 younger members of the team walked out while Kakashi waited for the right time and spoke to Tsunade in a quiet tone.
"Tsunade I want to make sure were being sent on this mission because we have the biggest chance to succeed not because it is Naruto's mother." Kakashi spoke in such a whisper Jiraiya could barely hear it.
"Kakashi, this is a scouting mission and you are the best in that category are you not?" Tsunade seemed angry that he questioned her but at the same time she understood. Kakashi nodded his head and he went out the door to follow his students. Jiraiya to was walking out until Tsunade stopped him. "Jiraiya, I want to question you about your training you gave him, I know you have come up with some pretty clever techniques for training and I'm curious as to what you did." Jiraiya nodded his head and spoke to her more like an apprentice speaks to his mentor.
"Well, for starters I added weights to his shoes, his foot speed needs to become quicker, and roughly 35 pounds I'd say. In addition to that I had Naruto tie bands around his forearm muscle." He could tell by Tsunade's face she was puzzled by the bands. "When you punch it's not the size of your bicep it's the size of your forearm muscle so in having Naruto do this every time he swung it was contained, but if he takes those off he will hit a little faster and a lot stronger." Jiraiya smiled after saying this because he knew Tsunade was impressed.
"I don't know how you come up with this Jiraiya but I must applaud you, now on to a serious note and don't you dare give me the answer I got last time." Tsunade paused. "I'm not saying it will happen but if, and I mean IF, Naruto breaks past the second seal, what is going to happen?" Tsunade wanted a straight answer and she knew Jiraiya was going to give her one.
"Truth is no one ever has, and I really don't think it will but if for some crazy reason it does happen." Jiraiya paused himself. "If the fox gets past the double seal it would basically be able to unleash at least one tail of raw power." Jiraiya looked at the floor after saying this trying to avoid contact with Tsunade's eyes because he knew she knew what "raw power" meant.
"Jiraiya, if your serious about this, that means, if Naruto breaks it, he could cause massive damage, to city's I mean we don't know how much he can control himself when the fox takes over. Damn Jiraiya I hope this seal of yours really is fool proof." Tsunade turned her back to him and he took it as a hint to leave. Damn you Jiraiya after yesterday it proved a lot but now I'm worried about if it will last. Tsunade closed her eyes and just thought of sake, and a lot of it.
"Kakashi, what really is our objective in this mission?" Chizu asked anxiously awaiting an answer. Naruto noticed this and guessed that she was a needy type.
"Our objective is to go into stone country and find Ishi. Some people say she knows the whereabouts of Orochimaru and were to investigate." To wait this long though to move in on this info diffidently has something to do with Naruto, still though, he always thought they never existed. Kakashi knew the team was easily 2 days away from there target village and he knew once they got there finding her probably wasn't going to be easy. He looked at Naruto because now he finally knew the name of his mother. "Let's rest we'll move tomorrow at dawn and be there hopefully tomorrow night." Kakashi picked a place to stay and made camp. He knew tomorrow was going to be a long day.
(Just arriving at stone country)
"All right we made it later than I thought but still it's fine, change your appearances unless your in our hotel room, which will be right over there." Kakashi pointed to a hotel that looked like it has been around since the days that dirt was created. "Naruto wait up I want to speak with you." Naruto quickly stopped and looked at his sensei. "I noticed last night you didn't sleep much which is understandable so if you want you can look for her tonight a little, not long though." Kakashi never knew what is was like to be in Naruto's shoes and he gave credit to the kid for still staying upbeat and positive. Naruto was surprised at this because he always thought of Kakashi as the one to never really have much of a heart. He nodded his head transformed and walked into the battered down country leaving Kakashi in the dust behind him.
Even walking around I can't find her this is Kakashi's specialty not mine. Naruto started to get frustrated with himself but he figured it was more the lack of sleep then anything else. Wait a second, that decoration. It's the same spinning circle on my arm patch. Naruto's fatigue took a backseat to what he just found. Is this it? My mother's house? Naruto slowly walked to the house, he noticed it was late and was scared to knock on the door. He went to knock but instead the door opened slightly. He walked in a saw a figure moving fast. He grabbed a kunai and held it to his chest. He then heard the words that sent a chill down his spine.
"You look just like your father."
Naruto still held the kunai close just in case if an eavesdropper heard their mission and was planning on killing him. He figured if it was the case it was probably Akutski. "If you're my mother, why did you leave me?" Naruto stopped walking and stayed still trying to focus in on the dim room.
"I never left you Naruto, please, let's talk it's upsetting to see my only child holding a knife ready to attack me." Ishi walked towards him but he still didn't trust it.
"Ishi, so you are here." Kakashi stepped into the light now and Naruto knew now that it was safe. "Well I bet you two have a lot of catching up to do, I will be back tomorrow to further question you but I really don't feel you will leave your son again." Kakashi left. Naruto knew how Kakashi felt about friends who don't help friends so he could only imagine how he felt about parents leaving their children.
"I want explaining now!" Naruto almost shouted at his mother and she nodded her head and advised him to sit.
"Naruto, before I begin I don't want you to ask about your father, he is dead and he died fighting the kyuubi. Him and Yondaime were best friends and when your father died he wanted our child to be the hero of the village and is why he chose you, and that is also why he wanted everyone to treat as a hero and instead you were considered a monster. What I did was wrong leaving you to fend for yourself but, there was nothing else I could do I felt I had nowhere to go." Ishi put her head down and Naruto could see and hear the sobs coming from his helpless mother.
"I want to know about our clan, the past is the past and I've learned you can't change what you've done. Now this isn't me forgiving you but I can put it past you and we can have a civilized conversation." Naruto waited for his mother to regain herself again and she started to speak.
"Our clan, the Uzumaki clan have always been known as some as "lion hearts" as we fight with emotions a lot more than talent and that's why I was worried when the seal was in you because of your emotional heritage the fox would control you one day but I realize today that I was just a worry wart. Our clan died off during the kyuubi attacks because there wasn't many of us to begin with and our numbers dwindled more and more every year." Ishi hoped that her son would want to know about his father but what he said surprised her.
"That is all I need to know, I will be going now, I'll be back tomorrow with my team to question Orochimaru's new hiding place. Good-bye." He started to walk out the door when he heard his mother shout something, he couldn't understand a damn thing with all the tears mixed in and his stomach started to burn again. He was pissed and upset, tears started to run down his face and his stomach burn like he was being stabbed with a burning hot kunai. His stomach settled down again but Naruto could feel the fox trying to break through. He gathered himself and turned back to his mother. "You know if I walk out now, I'll be just as low life and scummy as you, and I want to be the bigger man." He walked to his mother and picked her hands up and soon lifted her up. "I love you mom." He spit the words out and they both embraced in a hug.
"Naruto, us Uzumaki's also let our emotions be used in a weapon." She wiped away tears and got a more serious looking face. "I want to teach you our move that defined us as a clan, Black Lightning." Naruto looked at her with wide eyes.
Our own move? Our clan had a move? Naruto gathered himself as well and said in one simple line, "Teach me."
"Tomorrow my boy, tomorrow." Ishi opened the door leading Naruto out and she watched as he walked out of eyesight. She closed the door and sighed. He has grown. For the first time in 3 nights Naruto slept like a baby.
Ishi waited anxiously by the door waiting for Naruto and company to show up. It was 8:00 in the morning and she knew they would be there at any minute. Sure enough she heard the knock and let the 4 of them in.
"Before you go teaching Naruto anything, we must know about Orochimaru." Kakashi spoke quickly because he wanted to get in and get out. Ishi agreed and told him about his place near the hidden village of the grass and how he had another spot somewhere in the mountains near Konoha. After explaining to Chizu and Akira about Ishi's relations to Naruto the 3 of them left the mother and son alone, but this time Kakashi left with a map giving detailed coordinates. Strange how a woman that smart can give birth to that child. Kakashi smiled under his mask and him and the 2 teenagers started packing up.
"Naruto before I teach you this I must explain things about it. 1st you can not have 2 of these going at once, its impossible so don't try it, and if your anything like the Uzumaki's you still will try it." Naruto smiled because he knew it was true. "2nd this is a purely EMOTIONAL ability and I stress that because no emotion means no power. 3rd you have to be very fast with your feet, slowness and this move will be useless." Wow, It's like Jiraiya knew I would need to be faster on my feet. Naruto questioned if these two met before this mission or even before training. "Last but not least is you have to have a base move, now do you have one?" Naruto asked her what a base move is. "Something the black lightning can string against, like a, ummmm, for me example I use a move called compressed air ball as my base move it fits in the palm of my hand, so basically a palm thrust move." Ishi could tell by Naruto's eyes that he had one.
"Rasengan!" Naruto almost shouted it at his mother. He knows the Rasengan? My son knows Yondaime's move? Ishi was still shocked but continued on.
"Well rasengan as a base move will elevate this ability to new levels Naruto." She then showed him the hand seals to do it and after about 15 try's Naruto got it right. Then she told him to string it together the rasengan and the hand seals and to do it very fast. Before he did it she told him to think of someone he hates, but someone he loves at the same time. Naruto thought of Sasuke and a mixed feeling ran over him like a cold wind. He did exactly as his mother told him and he ended with hand seals and the word "BLACK LIGHTNING!!" The rasengan started to shoot sparks, then the sparks got bigger and a stream of what looked exactly as the name employ's, black lightning started to cover his arm and Naruto could feel the more emotional he got the more powerful the black lightning became. As his emotions grew thinner so did the black lightning. Whoa, It's totally connected to my emotion, amazing. "Wait so why do I need speed?" Naruto wanted answers fast because he knew he didn't have long before Kakashi showed up.
"Naruto when you strike someone with that you need to be fast because it's very easily avoidable, now when you hit let's say a chuunin level ninja this is what will happen he will be hit with the rasengan part first crippling him and then the black lighting shoots into his body and seals all of his chakra points in his body. But if you try this move on a hokage level ninja they will seal there chakra points and it will just hurt like a rasengan x5. The more emotion you put into it the harder it will be to stop. Lucky for you, you have the rasengan as a base move, so yours already exceeds mine." She smiled because she knew now that her son had something to call his own move his own jutsu. "Now remember, be fast but be smart, if you miss with this the counter shot they land could kill you considering it is the most direct shot out of any of the thrust moves. Use it wisely Naruto." They embraced again in a hug and Naruto told her he would visit her again soon, and he ran out the door to meet up with Kakashi and the others. Naruto, make me proud. Ishi walked back into her house and sat down and the whole day she thought about her husband, and how much he was like Naruto.
"About damn time you little squirt, I was going to kill you myself." Chizu smacked Naruto in the back of the head. "I don't care if that was your mom or a monkey don't you ever keep me waiting again you hear me?!" Naruto laughed under his breath because no matter what happened nothing could ruin this day.
