Kitsune of the Sand
Chapter 2
Temari was sitting in a chair next to the, surprisingly cute blonde, fiddling with one of her pigtails. Thinking back on how he got here was quite funny actually, Shukaku actually fondled with some nurses, SHUKAKU OF THE SAND fondled with some female nurses. Who would of guessed that the great and powerful Ichibi no Shukaku was a pervert (kyuubi sneezes in her cage), and then when Shukaku went back into the seal, Gaara fainted, and the nurses thinking that shukaku was coming back, ran back to their houses and his in their closets with their husbands standing guard outside the door.
When they searched the boy's clothing they found a list of konoha's forbidden jutsus, well that's what it was labeled, but there was a seal that they couldn't seem to break, and another scroll that seemed to hold some sort of weapon by looking at the seal, but it had a blood and chakra seal on it so only he could open it, what a shame. Temari's thoughts seemed to run along those lines for a while until she was jutted out of her thoughts by a groan emitted from the short, but cute blonde next to her.
Quickly shifting her gaze to the boy she noticed his eyes fluttering open, revealing cerulean orbs that she could get lost in. He groaned and sat up slowly taking in his surroundings. Quickly taking notice of the sandy dunes out side the window the blonde pig-tailed girl next him, and of course the beeping machines around him.
Asking the first thing that came to mind Naruto asked "where am I?"
"In the hospital of Sunagakure no sato, and before you ask the names Temari." She said. "What kind of idiot would walk in the desert with no food or water, in the middle of the day?" She said haughtily, but with an undertone of curiosity.
"A guy that got banished from his village, that's who, hmph, anyways the names Uzumaki Naruto, and no it means malestorm not fish cake."
When Naruto said that, the girls ever increasing curiosity rose even more, a guy that got banished from his village + konoha scroll of forbidden techniques banished Konoha ninja. Interesting…….
"Hey Blondie, do you know where I can find all of my scrolls and maybe buy some new clothes, Kami knows I need to get rid of that orange atrocity, maybe I should burn it?" he asked with a thoughtful look, "On second thought maybe you could bring me to your Kage, I have an interesting deal for him that would be in his best interest to hear"
Temari blinked in surprise, first he wanted his stuff back, going clothes shopping, and burning his ugly old jumpsuit, then he goes and asks to have a talk with the Kazekage, what an interesting kid. Temari's thoughts were abruptly cut short though by the slamming of a door and the shouting of her brother.
"That kid better appreciate our help in getting him here, I mean god who wouldn't…" he was about to continue when he locked eyes with the cerulean blue ones of the person they saved.
Kankuro stood there, surprised for a moment until…
"HOW THE HELL ARE YOU AWAKE, YOU SHOULDA' BEEN OUT FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER WEEK!" he shouted in the face of the smaller boy, using the feared 'big head no jutsu'.
"eh, such is the power of a jinchuruuki, I guess, I guess housing a furball isn't half bad, except for her constant yelling about being stuck in there, and sexism." Temari flinched at his words and seemed to back up a little in her seat, while Kankuro looked scared for his life.
When Naruto was out he tried thinking of ideas that could help him out, finding ways to get into ninja villages, get accepted into becoming a ninja, blah blah blah, blah blah blah, you get the idea. He had also decided that if no one wanted to accept him for who he was, jinchuuruki and all, than screw them.
Baki, who was behind Kankuro, was letting the pieces fall into place inside his mind. He took a step back once he realized the implications, this child was the holder of the most powerful Biju in existence, the Kyuubi no Kitsune, wait the Kyuubi was a girl??
"Now are you gonna let me see the Kazekage or not, because I'm gonna get there sooner or later." At that, Baki couldn't help but smirk. The holder of the Kyuubi no Kitsune wanting to see the Kazekage, after he just woke up from heatstroke, that could only mean one thing…………. Another weapon.
"Yes, we willl take you to the Kazekage now, and you should have a good reason, the Kazekage is an……. impatient man." And with that Baki left, giving the unseen order to follow.
You could say many things about the Kazekage, maybe that he was evil, or greedy, or even a bad father, but what most people didn't know was that he was a pervert on equal grounds with Jiraiya, and at the moment he was using his all powerful, all seeing telescope to look into the women's side of the hot springs. When he was doing this he really hates to be interrupted, so as you can guess, when he heard footsteps and 4 knocks on the door, showing that it was four people (A.N. it's a code you knock 4 times for 4 people, 5 if there's more) that he was a little annoyed, but he quickly got over it , put away the telescope, and beckoned for them to come in.
When he saw Baki, and 2 of his children, who knew he liked his alone time, and a boy he never saw before, he was pretty surprised, especially when he noticed his whisker marks, a very strange birthmark, and he's only heard of one whisker marked child, the jinchuuruki of the kyuubi, he could almost lick his lips in a Orochimaru type way, almost.
"Kazekage-sama this boy here is seeking asylum, and he has a deal apparently, to convince you into letting him become a ninja for Suna." Baki said with a face-wide smirk. He could already tell what the Kazekage was thinking.
"Yes, Baki, Teamri, Kankuro, leave me, I would like to talk to this boy alone." With those words, said sand-nins left.
"Now boy, please tell me your name, and of course that deal of yours." He said leaving no room for argument.
"My name is Naruto," and instead of answering the part about a deal he simply set a scroll down on top of the Kazekage's desk. Looking at the title the Kazekage's eyes widened. The most powerful techniques of Konoha, heh interesting, but lets see if he can add more to this deal.
"This is a very enticing deal, but is there anything more you want to add, I'm not too sure of you capabilities as a ninja, and continuing on from that, how did you get this?" he asked pointing at the scroll.
"Hmmmmmmm, well I know of you power obsession, just by looking at your youngest child I can tell you want someone like that but with more control, maybe even more powerful than him, I can offer you that, and about the scroll, nicked their scroll, copied it and returned it to it's proper place, got banished for it." Naruto said with pride in his voice.
"Hmmmmmmmmm, so your telling me that you can offer me someone powerful, and by looking at you I can tell you mean yourself, seriously, a whisker marked child is hard to come by. So you can control the most powerful of the biju, I thought he.."
"She," Naruto interrupted.
"Yes, well anyways your presence also seems to put Gaara at peace, fot that alone I should keep you here, but you sweetened the deal yourself, I accept." Said the Kazekage with a smirk behind his mask.
"Though I doubt you had proper training," receiving a nod he continued "So I'll have to arrange for you to be put on a Genin team, I guess that I should put you with Gaara's team, we'll just have to put Kankuro on another team, ha always does complain about Gaara." Reaching behind his back the Kazekage pulled out a Suna headband, and handed it to Naruto. Naruto gladly took it and tied it loosely around his neck and headed out the door to meet his new teammates.
3 month Timeskip
At first his teammates didn't take to well to him, but in the end, they did. Temari was a little hesitant at first about him, but in the end, he won her over with his calm yet cheerful personality. Baki situation was similar to Temari's, and was probably the first person to laugh when Naruto pulled on of his infamous pranks. Gaara was by far the hardest to get to like him, but after they got to know each other, they stuck together like glue, pulling pranks every few days that left the fearing for their pride, and with a mischievous prankster with a partner that could control sand, who wouldn't. After the two got to know each other Gaara dropped the 'I'm-gonna-kill-you-if-you-look-at-me-the-wrong-way' look and started laughing and smiling more often, which still wasn't much, but it was an improvement. Overall the whole village of Suna brightened up with the arrival of our blonde haired savior.
Speaking of him, he has gone through rigorous training with his sword, that he aptly named Vengence of the ninetails (A.N. translation please, I can't seem to find a good site). Even if the sword looked like a normal sword, it was anything but. The sword could change its overall form by absorbing or getting rid of it's own matter, and the matter of other things. The sword could even turn into a sword of fire, or lighning like the famed Rajin-ken of the Nidaime Hokage. This was all possible because even if Demons were solid looking, they were all made out of dirt, dust, and other particles, because they were not originally of this world and were summoned here, so when making a blade out of the bones, claws, fangs, ect., of a demon you have to go through an elaborate sealing process to make sure the part of the demon your making the weapon out of will not dissipate. When absorbing matter with Chakra, when you change the amount of chakra, you absorb different substances, so when absorbing 2, 3, or 4 substances, you may get a chemical reaction, but the only useful reactions are the ones that form lightning, or fire.
Naruto also trained extensively in Ninjutsu, learning that he had three chakra elements wind, lightning, and water. The suprising part though was that Naruto had the Nidaime Hokage's ability to create water out of thin air, combining that with his affinity for lightning and you have jutsu combinations that could kill in an instant (A.N. you know water+lightning, think about, a water dragon crackling with electricity). Though it was powerful, it was hard to attain suiton jutsu's in suna because most people didn't have that elemental affinity, which is why he was lucky to have copied suiton jutsu's from the forbidden scroll. Though it was hard to get suiton jutsu's, it was easy to get futon jutsu's since suna had practically created them and had a very, VERY large library on them.
Even though Naruto detested them at first, he loved the uses he came up hith for the chakra strings, which were essential because he could change his sword into a puppet at any moment, and then even after change the form of the puppet by forcing chakra through the chakra strings, but by far his favorite puppet was the ninetailed fox puppet because of it's many tails, but he would never tell Kyuubi that because she was th one to originally suggest it. Then there was his advancement on the chakra strings, by putting sharp edges on the string made out of chakra, he can make a whip made out of chakra that could cut through anything, which was as of now his favorite weapon because of its versatility, and well he was sometimes lazy on missions and didn't feel like fighting the bandits that he was usually sent to kill. The chakra whip also, surprisingly earned him a name, Suna's blue malestorm, because when using the chakra whip he creates ten, one for each finger, and then spins at high speeds making it look like blue winds are swirling around with him.
Even though Naruto still enjoys pranking, he now dresses in a black cloak (think akatsuki but no clouds with longer sleeves) and a high collar hiding his whisker marks. Under the cloak he wears the Standard ANBU uniform except he had the armor in a dark blue color. He had his Suna headband tied around his arm, completing the outfit. Naruto had also grown his hair out, and had it tied in a low braided pony tail (think Edward Elrich from FMA). His sword was in the form of a Chinese broadsword and was attached to his waist with chakra.
Right now, Team Baki was in the Kazekage's office, waiting for their next mission. Though the Kazekage was acting normally, they could tell he was happy about something.
"Team Baki, your next mission is to participate in the Chunin exams, and make it up to the final round, once there, Suna and Oto will join forces and attack Konoha." His statement was blunt, and left no room for argument.
"You will receive information on you position in the attack forces when you arrive there, when you have read it thoroughly, burn it. That is all."
Even though on normal missions, shinobi would be able to choose whether or not to accept the mission, this mission was a special one, it was an attack on another nation.
So with no argument, team Baki left the room. Though on the way out Naruto paused for a second to yawn, which is what everybody else saw, but what it truly was, was a pause to gather concentration for a mental conversation with the Kyuubi, who was thrashing about in her cage. Once the exited the office, Naruto began his mental conversation.
"What is it Kyu-chan?" asked Naruto
"Stop calling me that Flesh bag, anyways, that person is not the Kazekage, he was under a very advanced genjutsu that only people with bloodlines can detect, only I could possibly detect it because shukkaku is probably sleeping." Said the Kyuubi.
"So that must mean that the Kazekage is either dead or trapped, could you possibly, ohh I don't know, umm help me track him down, please?" he asked with the mental equivalent of the dreaded puppydog eye no jutsu.
"I guess but you owe me big time."
Quickly tapping on Baki's shoulder in a Morse code pattern that ruffly meant "Go to the training grounds, there's something important I have to tell you."
"Ok people, I have a few more jutsus I want to teach you before we go to Konoha so come with me." With that Baki jumped ahead, with the group of genin following close behind. They jumped through the city swiftly, and quickly ended up in a secluded training ground.
Quickly taking initiative, Naruto went in front of the group.
"That wasn't the Kazekage, it was a person under an advanced genjutsu, Kyuubi is going to track the real Kazekage, so follow me." He said, leavimg no room for argument.
Quickly taking lead, Naruto lead the group through the desert, until they reached a ditch. The place reeked of blood, practically radiating it. When the group looked down into it they saw the bodies of the Kazekage, and his elite ANBU guard.
When Baki saw there bodies, he let his killer intent loose, showing that he was angry, really angry.
"It seems we were set up, change of plans then. Temari, Gaara, tell Kankuro about this, and when the Kazekage leaves, Kankuro will tell the general populace, When we reach konoha we will tell the Hokage about the plan to attack them, and use the scroll that says what our part of the attack to back up what were saying." Said Naruto, again taking charge, because Baki was still too riled up to think straight at the time.
A quick hai from Temari, and a hn, the equivalent of a hai from Gaara and the three Genin left Baki to blow off some steam.
Time skip 1 week later
Temari and Naruto were standing next to the apartment they had rented for the Chunin Exams waiting for Gaara to show up with the scroll. They were quietly talking about what they what they would do if they had a practical test, or obstical course.
"I still think that if we have an obstical course we should just fly over it, I mean god is that so hard." Naruto said with a pleading look in his eye.
"STOP BEING LAZY NARUTO, I mean god obstical courses are meant to be done, not just flown over, and if I hear another word about my fan will be in a place where the sun don't shine, GOT IT!"
Naruto stepped away slowly from Temari, not wanting to be on the receiving end of her fan. Well that was until someone bumped into him, hard.
"Owwwww that wasn't very nice….. Konohamaru-chan, hows it going?" he said noticing the small child along with two others around the same age. Konohamaru quickly looked up at the stranger, and with speeds thought impossible by humans, the young boy was hugging Naruto, squeezing the air out of him.
"Naruto-nee-san, I knew you would come and visit me!" Konohamaru said quite loudly, confusing a pink haired kunoichi that had just rounded the corner.
"Konohamaru (cough) need (wheez) air (gag) for continued (cough) existence." Naruto said breathlessly.
"What are you doing here, and why is a shinobi from Suna here, you aren't allowed back here Naruto and shinobi of a different village aren't allowed in with out reason?" Sakura asked with curiosity mixed in with a little hatred.
"Wow, I would think you would've put that big forehead to use by now, we're here for the Chunin exams, we're representing Suna, and you can come down now teme or do I have to make you?" Naruto asked.
Sakura looked up to see the love of her life (A.N. she deserves him), Sasuke, and went right into fangirl mode, blush and all.
Meanwhile Sasuke just looked at Naruto and said in a haughty tone "Why would I need to go down to your level dobe?"
"Fine I'll have to bring you down myself." And before anyone could say anything, Naruto had connected a chakra string to Sasuke's ankle and pulled him down, but to Sasuke, and Sakura's eyes he had just magically pulled him down.
"NARUTO, HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO SASUKE!!!" shrieked Sakura.
"I think I've gone deaf." Temari said while massaging her ears, trying to get her hearing back.
"Pink haired girl, please shut up," said a monotone voice from up in the tree's "Naruto I've got the papers, should we head to the Hokages office?" and in a swirl of sand appeared Garra right next to Naruto.
"Yes, finally lets go." And with that the whole group disappeared in a vortex of water and lightning, leaving a dumbfounded Sakura, a brooding Sasuke, and a group of kids cheering about how cool their leader was.
The meeting to decide who was going to enter the chunin exams was going smoothly, well that was until a piece of paper dropped from the ceiling and onto the Hokage's desk, lifting the paper up, he saw a picture of a chibi-naruto doing the victory symbol, then the paper lifted out of the Hokages hands on it's own, and exploded in a flurry of paint, painting everyone in the room a different color of the color pallet. Then in front of the Hokage's desk rose a spiraling vortex of water and lightning. When the vortex died down, everyone's hair was frizzled, and they all were sopping wet. In the middle of all the frizzled, wet, and colorful people were three perfectly fine teenagers with Suna headbands.
A blonde haired boy was rolling on the floor and holding his sides because he was laughing so hard. A red headed boy settled for a grin, and the girl in the middle of them was positively fuming.
"NARUTO, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS GO AND DO THAT, CAN'T YOU SETTLE FOR DOING THINGS THE NORMAL WAY!!!!!" screamed an outraged blonde girl.
"But where would be the fun in that Teamri-chan?" he asked with a pout, but it didn't work and he got whaked on the head with a closed fan.
Quickly changing attitudes, the blonde male stood up and walked up to the Hokage's desk, ignoring the baffled and enraged glances from rest of the room. One chunin, thinking that the boy was about to attack the Hokage and threw a kunai at the young blonde. Though all the young blonde did was raise his hand, and with a flick, and what looked like blue winds, the boy had cut the kunai in half.
Ignoring the disbelieving looks people were throwing him he continued walking up to the Hokage's desk, stopping right in front of it.
"So, Naruto-kun, looks like you're Suna's blue Malestorm, befitting of what I saw, and of course your eyes, but by your look, I guess your not here to visit." The hokage said in an exasperated tone. Quite a few eyes widened at the fact that Konoha's x demon brat was a B-ranked ninja at the least, and was working for Suna
"Correct Hokage-sama, the Oto is attacking, and it seems their leader is Orochimaru, and Suna was supposed to participate in it but it seems that Orochimaru has tricked us and killed the Kazekage, we are here to offer you an alliance, and information on the attack." Now it seemed that everyone's mouth's were currently lodged in the floor. Orochimaru was the leader of a village, that very same village was attacking, and the Kazekage is dead, now that's a lot to take in.
"I see, that is very grave news, but can you tell me who your two companions are?" asked the old Hokage.
"The girl is Sabuka no Temari, and the red head is Sabuka no Gaara, 2 of the 3 children of the Kazekage, and we will be monitering things going on in the exam, and of course, looking for spies. Now if you'll excuse us we have some planning to do, call us if you need any assistance, oh and have this." Naruto said, handing the old man the scroll that held their part of the invasion.
With that the three Suna genins left in a swirl of sand.
Time skip, beginning of the exam
Naruto, Temari, and Gaara arrived at the exam early to scope out the competition, which wasn't much in their opinions, so they just sat down and waited for the exam to start. Well that was until the rookies from Konoha came in, drawing everyone's attention.
That's when Kabuto came in. The Suna team already knew that he was a spy, they had told the Hokage during the second meeting. But the real surprise came Kabuto was showing them the information cards.
"So you see, I have information about everyone taking this exam. Sooooo, anyone you wanna know about?" Kabuto asked
"Uzumaki Naruto, and Rock Lee." Was Sasuke's curt reply.
Everyone looked up at the mention of the blonde.
"Heh, Sasuke, why do you wanna know about the dead last, I thought he was banished?"
Kiba asked, with a tone of superiority.
"Becareful of who you insult Kiba-chan." Said a bored voice that seemed to have appeared right behind them.
Each and every member of the rookie 9 turned around to see the blonde prankster.
Kiba bristled at the chan comment. "I'll get you back for that Uzumaki!"
"Yah what are you gonna do, lick me, I'm sorry to break this to you but I don't walk on that side of the road, I'm straight thank you." said Naruto in voice that rivaled Shikimaru's in boredness.
"That's it Uzumaki!!" and with that, Kiba charged head on at the blonde. Naruto was still standing there calmly, and put his hand forward, connecting chakra strings around Kiba's legs, neck, and arms, and pulled hard, causing Kiba to loose his footing and start flying at Naruto, who simply disconnected his chakra strings and moved out of the way, forcing Kiba headfirst into a wall.
Using Kiba, and Naruto's fight as a distraction, 3 sound-nins charged Kabuto, intent on doing bodily harm. That was until Naruto used a battle Shuushin to appear right in front of Kabuto, whipping out his sword, he forced chakra into it, changing it into a thich sheet of metal in the shape of Temari's fan.
"Kamaitatchi!!!" and with a swing of his metal… thing, and all the Oto genin were blown away. Changing his sword back into its original form, he sheathed it and calmly walked back to his team.
"You owe me Kabuto-san," was all that Naruto said.
And with that, the first exam started.
A.N.
Ok, I know that it may seemed sort of rushed, but, it needs to be like that.
Naruto has 2 different personalities if you haven't noticed, his battle personality which is calm and aloof, and his normal personality, a mischievous prankster.
