OOC: This is the finale, the bigger battle! Also, the story name plays a part in this chapter.
Also, I don't own Naruto, never will.
Shizaru stepped forward and said, "Uchiha Itachi, What brings you to the Land of Waves?" Itachi just stared forward, silent, his eyes trained on Naruto. He then spoke, "I came for the kid." But at that moment, Sasuke charged forward, intent on trying to kill his brother. Naruto launched up, while still weakened, and said, "Shiro Senkou!" and stopped Sasuke short and said, "Sasuke, stop, your going to get killed facing against Itachi." Sasuke growled and said, "Out of my way, dobe." Naruto then punched Sasuke in the gut and pushed him back.
"Naruto, Watch out!" screamed Sakura as she saw Kisame charge forward. Naruto's eyes widened as he turned and Samehada came down at him. A sword stopped it, and Shizaru was holding a katana with a red metal blade. He spoke, "Hisaki (Burst into Flames)" and he pushed Samehada up, as the side where the pushing was being done started to lick with flames. Naruto watched as Shizaru overpowered Kisame for a brief moment to grab Naruto as Samehada was smashed down. Shizaru said, "Let me handle them." He stepped forward, drawing out an ice white sword and said, "Koorimasu (Freeze)." Kisame arched an eyebrow and said, "Ah, the Elemental Swordsman." Shizaru merely smirked and burst forward.
Kisame brought his large sword up, as two swords clashed into his. Then, Shizaru was gone again and behind Kisame. Kisame's eyes widened but he turned quickly and only got a small gash. He smirked and swiped the sword but missed. However, a munching noise was heard, and Shizaru narrowed his eyes, "Samehada, the Chakra Eating Sword." Kisame laughed and watched Itachi move towards Naruto slowly. Shizaru growled and moved to stop Itachi, but Kisame stopped him, his sword finally cutting a gash into Shizaru's stomach. Shizaru jumped back as Kisame said, "Your fight is with me, Shizaru." Shizaru frowned and looked at Naruto, and saw Itachi nearing. He knew Kakashi was too weak at the moment.
He then noticed, Naruto's eyes were brighter and he stood. Shizaru's eyes widened and he whispered, "It can't be…" and with that, he looked to Kisame and shifted into a stance. He spoke, "Very well, you wanted a fight, than you'll get one." He charged forward and the two entered their battle, as Itachi stopped, noticing Naruto's eyes becoming brighter. The Sharingan eyes met the bright blue eyes of Uzumaki Naruto. Naruto spoke out, "Suiton: Water Bullet!" He blasted out a giant water bullet at Itachi. Itachi's eyes widened for a brief second before he dodged. Naruto glared at him and spoke, this time saying something that drew shock out of Kakashi, Itachi, and Kisame, "Cry of the Rain!" All 3 felt a massive surge of chakra as water gathered at Naruto's feet, swirling around. Naruto formed hand seals quickly, and spoke, "Suiton: Water Dragon Torrent!" and from the water around, dragons of water burst up. Itachi looked around and he tried to seem unphased, but behind that mask, he held pure shock that this kid was the holder of this bloodline. His eyes widened as he noticed all the dragons surging on him.
As the dragons crashed on Itachi, and the water died down, he wasn't there. However, back with Kisame and Shizaru, both were still going barely touched, until Shizaru said, "Kenjutsu: Katana Arashi!" and he spun like a tornado, spinning at Kisame. Kisame's eyes widened and he felt the two swords tear into him and leaped back. He was too wounded to continue as Itachi appeared beside him, "Kisame, let us leave, we're at a disadvantage." Kisame nodded and the two leaped away, quickly. Shizaru sighed with relief and sheathed his swords, and Naruto's eyes dimmed down to normal, before he collapsed, again, out of chakra from the Water Dragon jutsu. Shizaru walked up to him and picked him up. He said, "Let us head back to Konoha, its best if we do that now."
Kakashi nodded and he saw Sakura looking shocked, and worried. He said, "I'll explain on the way." She nodded, and Sasuke scowled, wondering how the heck Naruto had so much power. Shizaru glanced to Sakura and said, "He'll be fine, it's just the first time he has used this power." Shizaru didn't tell them that it was actually just a touch of the bloodline he had. Shizaru looked down at Naruto as the team began to walk. He knew very well what would happen to Naruto now, and he would need training more, but not just from him. He would need to get an old friend of his to help, especially to control the fox, and the jutsus he would use later on. Shizaru let out a sigh and he spoke in his mind,
'Lets just hope he doesn't influence Naruto be a pervert, Minato would beat my butt for it'
Shizaru chuckled at the thought but kept quiet. As the team got into the Land of Fire with good speed, he explained, "That was Naruto's first time using something he had no idea of, it was triggered by fear and anger." Sakura looked curious and said, "What exactly was that, Shizaru-sensei?" Shizaru spoke, "Just the pinch of a legendary bloodline dealing with the Water and Wind Elements." Sakura's eyes widened, 'N-Naruto-kun has a bloodline!?!' were her thoughts, but Sasuke broke the silence, "How come the dobe has more power then me, I'm an Uchiha!" Shizaru glanced at him and said, "He has more power because of his potential to be better and keep fighting. His parents were the strongest shinobi I knew next to the Sanin." Sakura and Sasuke looked shock and then Sasuke scowled and said, "Who were his parents?" Shizaru snorted and said, "When Naruto is ready, you'll know." Sakura nodded to herself
The team took a night to rest and set up a small camp. When night came, Shizaru was on guard duty. He heard footsteps and saw Sakura sit beside him. He looked at Sakura and said, "You love him a lot, don't you?" Sakura smiled and nodded, speaking, "I do, Naruto-kun is sweet, strong, and very much a person I would defend if I ever had the chance." Shizaru chuckled and said, "Naruto is an interesting kid, bearing all this power and yet the crap he gets for what happened on his birthday." Sakura turned her head and said, "What happened on his birthday?" Shizaru glanced at Naruto's sleeping body and he said, "I don't know if I can tell you just yet, Sakura-san." With that, he smiled at her.
Sakura nodded and looked back at Naruto and said, "I just hope I can do something to repay him." Shizaru spoke, "Love him, be his friend, his shoulder to cry on." Sakura looked at Shizaru quickly and nodded, and he explained, "He was, until 7 years of age, beaten countless times, chased, nearly killed, all by the villagers of Konoha." She gasped, and put a hand over her mouth, shocked. Shizaru shook his head and said, "I took him away and trained him, all that happiness is a mask for the most part, to hide the sorrow he has, all the pain he has endured because of a curse upon him." Sakura frowned and said, "Naruto-kun... in that much pain?" Shizaru nodded and said, "Simply put, he is like his father, those two know what it means to be a ninja." He looked to see Naruto getting up and taking a seat by Sakura.
"I heard everything, Sakura-chan." Spoke Naruto. Sakura nodded and hugged him and then kissed him softly. Naruto kissed back, a few tears dropping from his eyes, but Sakura wiped them away, breaking the kiss and saying, "Naruto-kun, what is wrong." He didn't speak, but he looked to Shizaru, earning a nod, and he turned to Sakura. He spoke, "My curse, Sakura-chan, has earned me looks, and more. People think I'm a demon, and there is a reason why." He sighed and looked down, and Sakura spoke, "You don't have to tell me, Naruto-kun." Naruto shook his head, "I need to see if we were meant to be, and this is the ultimate test, I suppose." Sakura gasped, but nodded, awaiting the information.
"I am the jailor to the Kyuubi no Kitsune." He looked at her with influence of the Kyuubi, the blood red eyes.
