Battousai
Naikatei no Raikiri – Throwing Lighting Edge (from the last chapter)
Chapter 4: The True Face of Battousai
Naruto was aware of being watch and didn't like it. Naruto disappeared before anyone could ask.
Sakura and most of the fan girls ran towards their precious Uchiha. Sakura healed him but he was clearly out cold. Jiraiya disappeared. Gaara and his siblings also disappeared. Neji, Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, Lee and Choji slip through the crowd and went to Shikamaru's house.
"Did you see that amount of power?" Neji ask.
"How could we not. That was amazing yet it wasn't chakra power." Kiba said. Akamaru started barking.
"Yet that wasn't chakra he was using." Shikamaru said.
"He is indeed a worthy foe. He barely wasted anything against the Uchiha." Lee said.
The six boys never like Sasuke and always did hate him for being welcome in open arms. While Naruto was exiled and didn't have a home.
In the Hokage Council, the council members were furious to hear their Uchiha was defeated so easily. Not only was that, but the person who defeated him the Battousai.
Hokage Monument
Naruto sat down thinking. He was holding a kunai in his hand.
"I knew you would come here. Even if you were my apprentice for a while." A voice said calmly.
"Ero-sennin." Naruto said.
"It's been a long time Naruto. So how is your seal?"
"Gone, the Nine Tails is gone with it chakra added to my own."
Jiraiya nodded. He knew this was going to happen.
"So how did you get the name Battousai?"
"I'll tell everyone later."
Jiriaya nodded. It seemed reasonable.
"You look like your father you know." Jiraiya said.
"I know, it was bond to happen sooner or later. So Kakashi was the student of my father." Naruto said.
"Hai, he knew who you were since you were born. It's no doubt that he is in deep thought about it right now." Jiraiya said.
"Why didn't he ever train me?" Naruto ask.
"Because he felt his debt to his fallen best friend Obito was even more important. That's probably why he kept training Sasuke. Despite the fact you're angry with him you must move on."
"I already have. Guess I got to be going then Ero-Sennin." Naruto said as he got up.
"You know you are no longer a missing-nin right." Jiraiya said. This caused Naruto to stop.
"What do you mean?" Naruto ask so seriously.
"Shortly after you left I went to Tsunade. She was heart broken you left and mad that she got bullied in claiming you as a S-Class Criminal. She went to the council and threatens them for two years straight. Not only that, shortly after you left, Sand declared war. They were furious that we treated you like that and made you a S-Class Criminal. They invaded us twice causing great damage. Tsunade last year final made the possibility of a Konoha Civil War by disbanding the Council. If there is no Council that means every clan member would have the right to invade another clan. Things went bad. Finally the Council agreed and took you off the Bimbo book as a S-Class Criminal. It a few weeks before Sasuke return. The Council wanted to give him a year of light probation however Tsunade threaten to lock them up and disband the council. He got a year of heavy probation with the members that rescue you. Let me tell you they all hate the Uchiha more then ever. However, no one has seen or heard from you in three years. Then there is the fact that you are known as the Battousai."
"Battousai, a name I carry everywhere." Naruto whispered into the night sky.
"How did you get the name Battousai?" Jiraiya ask.
Naruto closed his eyes before looking at his mentor.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"So what are you going to do?"
"I don't know, I mean I can come back to the village. But at the same time I'm still an S-Class Criminal."
"Go to Tsunade. She'll be happy to see you again. Do you still have her necklace?"
Naruto only nodded and pulled out the green crystal necklace from underneath his shirt. He still wore it to remember Konoha. Naruto got up and disappeared in a yellow flash.
Jiraiya was shock to see that jutsu.
'So Naruto, you master that jutsu. What other Jutsu's have you mastered?'
Kakashi's Apartment
Kakashi was in deep thought. But it wasn't the look of someone who looks like the Fourth Hokage. He was still traumatize about what he did to Naruto. Every time he saw Naruto the more he look like his sensei.
After staring into space for hours Kakashi notice it was nightfall. He got up and went to the memorial stone as he stared at Obito's and his sensei's name for a long time.
'Obito...Sensei...I'm so sorry...What should I do to fix my mistakes and my past?'
Kakashi look at the memorial stone to the Hokage monument.
'What do I do? You sensei would have known the right choice from the very start. I however don't know what to choose. Is this a test? What must I do?'
The Next Day
Uchiha Sasuke. Got beaten senseless and badly. People were upset and shock. They wanted the person who defeated their precious Uchiha dead. The only problem was, no one would approach the Battousai.
Ino was curious about the Battousai. All leads to his names started at Mist. It was at Mist when the Battousai gave the clans with bloodlines hope and power again. He posses a Kekkei genkai like them. A civil war was started and ended in three months because of the Battousai. But how he got his is a mystery. For him to be a killer among speed he must be good. He was known to master silent killing techniques as well as a combination of water and ice while he was in mist. Two former Swordsman of the Mist train him and with their training, he created his own style. The Raitingu Kenjutsu style. He was a true legend and Mist vowed their full alliance to the Battousai.
Sakura was also curious to know who could defeat her precious Sasuke. She knew the person was a great swordsman because he carried five legendary swords on his back. But for him to use attacks without hand seals, wasn't possible.
The boys however were happy and glad someone finally defeated the Uchiha. Sai was curious. He once saw the Battousai in action and he only said one thing to all those who would see him action if they ever met him. 'Don't Blink'
Tsunade and Shizune knew this couldn't be the true level of the Battousai. The stories didn't match how he fought.
Jiraiya and the Sand siblings knew he was holding back a lot of power. That last attack kept floating in their minds.
Flashback
Naruto pierce his Tokijin into the ground.
"Souryuha" Naruto yelled.
Blue light came out of the ground and lighting was being form all around Sasuke. Sasuke used his own creation and launch his Rakiri at Naruto. A Dragon was form from all the lighting and attack Sasuke before Sasuke could do anything else. Sasuke screamed in pain. It seemed to go on forever before the light died and Sasuke fell to the ground unconscious.
Naruto's face was clearly visible to everyone. They knew Naruto wanted to be alone. That's why he disappeared.
Flashback ends
"So Gaara what now?"
"We wait of course." Gaara said looking out in the sky.
"Naruto is back. I haven't seen him in two years. He is so strong." Kankuro replied calmly.
Temari was sitting on the window. Naruto was really cute. It was too bad she was seeing Shikamaru. She sighs. She honestly didn't know what she saw in Shikamaru. Perhaps he outsmarted. He was a genius. She was physical strong. Maybe they just complete each other.
Shikamaru walk over and said "Yo."
"Hey crybaby."
"I was wondering if you would like to go and get something to eat." Shikamaru said.
"Why didn't you send me a messenger bird?" Temari ask.
"I was going to but it was too troublesome."
Temari had a vein sticking out of her forehead.
'He is so dead.' Kankuro thought as he smirk at the thought.
'Baka, why would you make Temari mad?' The Kazekage Godaime thought.
Shikamaru dodge a gust of wind and started to run away as Temari started to attack him sending gust of winds at him.
"What's going on?" Tsunade ask notice dust devils were rising in the village.
"Oh, Shikamaru made Temari mad and now she is chasing him." Kankuro said.
"Kazekage, I trust you will be returning soon."
"No, I have business to talk to with the Battousai." Gaara said calmly.
Tsunade blink. Did Gaara know who the Battousai really was? But Tsunade wouldn't ask. Sand apparently really loved Naruto. If Konoha did go into a civil war, Sand was prepared to declare war as well. Temari was the greatest wind user since their Shodaime. Kankuro puppet skills could match Sasori of the Red Sands. Gaara's sand skills were legendary and powerful. Tsunade sigh and decided to drop it.
Academy
Iruka was teaching class again. Though many could tell he was in a very good mood. The other teachers knew why. It had to do with the Uchiha getting his butt kick. They all didn't know why Iruka hated the Uchiha like the other members of the Rookie 9 but they could never see why.
Konohamaru made a spit ball and launch it at Hyuuga Hanabi's head.
Hanabi was writing ways to trap a shinobi when she felt a spit ball hit the back of her head.
"KONOHAMARU." She screamed.
"Hanabi, be quiet and do your work." Iruka shouted.
"But sensei, Konohamaru is spitting spitballs again."
"Still being a prankster are you Konohamaru?" A voice said at the door.
Iruka and the rest of the class turn to see a blond hair boy standing there.
"Naruto niisan." Konohamaru shouted.
'Naruto? Since when did he look like the Fourth?' Iruka thought dumbstruck.
"Hey what's up Konohamaru? How are you two doing Udon? Moedi?" Naruto ask.
"We are good boss."
"Naruto niisan, did you kick the Uchiha's butt last night?"
"Yep, he wasn't even a challenge. There are very few people who could give me a good fight these days." Naruto said calmly.
Hanabi look at him. Her father warned her not to pick a fight with the man known as the Battousai. Yet here was a former leaf shinobi.
"Weren't you a leaf shinobi?" Hanabi demanded.
Naruto's eyes went to Hanabi's and she suddenly felt scared.
"I once was. I was a Genin for only seven months. Before the village declared me an S-Class Missing-Nin." Naruto said.
The classroom was buzzing. The council made a Genin an S-Class Missing nin. Something wasn't right.
"So Iruka-sensei, still teaching some brats I see. When are you going to be Jounin?" Naruto ask Iruka.
"I will be Jounin after this brats graduate. So Naruto, I heard a rumor a month ago if you were found they were going to make you a Jounin. You plan on accepting?"
Naruto shrug his shoulders.
"Don't know. I'm not a missing-nin from this village anymore. I heard a lot of chaos happen inside the village as well with Sand. Even though the village didn't declare me as a S-Class Missing-Nin I'm still an S-Class Criminal to many countries." Naruto said.
"What did you do?" Hanabi ask trying to get some information.
Naruto closed his eyes before speaking.
"I don't want to talk about it."
Naruto open his eyes as several ANBU members appeared.
"Uzamaki Naruto, you are wanted by the Council." The ANBU Captain said.
"I thought the bounty was off." Iruka cried.
"He means the Council wants me, as in to see me Iruka-sensei." Naruto said.
Naruto look at the ANBU captain calmly.
"Come back and tell me why. I do not wish to go over there and waste my time. I have training to do."
"They said it's about last night with your fight with the future Rokudaime. And about certain things that cannot be said in public ears."
Inside, Naruto's anger was rising. The ANBU Captain realized he went too far in telling Naruto Sasuke was going to be the Rokudaime. Killer Intent was being release from the blond as his eyes suddenly went empty. The ANBU couldn't see his emotions but could tell it wasn't pretty.
Naruto was piss. Sasuke always got special treatment and now he was going to be the Rokudaime. The dream he wish deep down he could live. That settled it then. He wasn't going to return to this village. He thought he might as well start a village of his own. He was going to start that as soon as he left.
Naruto disappeared in a yellow flash.
"That technique can't be..." Iruka spoke the ANBU thoughts.
Council Hall. Hokage's Office of Clan Elders
Naruto appeared in a yellow flash in front of the council. Killer intent was unmistaken coming out of the blond. So much it froze a few people in the room.
"Are you Naruto?" Tsuande ask.
"What do you want Tsunade?" Naruto snap.
Tsunade's heart broke. He clearly loath Konoha.
Hiashi lean forward.
"Uzamaki Naruto. You will show respect and give us your best attitude while in presence of the..."
"I don't have to show you shit. You all never gave me any respect. Not even once. You all made me a S-Class Missing-Nin when I defend myself, badly injured I might add, against a mob of shinobi's. You're all saying I can't even defend myself if my life is in danger." Naruto snapped causing Hiashi to flinch.
Tsunade knew she made a terrible mistake that day. She should have corrected that mistake. She thought she could trust the people in the Hospital. She didn't know Jiraiya had threatened them to have them heal him.
"Naruto, we want you to return to us as a Konoha Jounin."
"No." Naruto said.
Tsunade heart was broken.
Naruto turn to leave as he was clearly not welcome.
"Uzamaki Naruto, we wish to know what happen at the battle of Ice Mountain." Danzo said.
Naruto look at the Roots leader.
"We are in a deprate situation." Koharu said.
"We need a strong and powerful leader. Jiraiya and Tsunade can only do so much. Naruto, you power and skills on the battle field could give us a great chance to over power and create a treating of peace." Homura said.
Naruto look at the eight council members.
"Tsunade, who is my father?" Naruto ask.
Every jump back they didn't expect this.
"Why would you ask that?" Tsunade said.
Naruto reach in his pocket and pulled out a scroll that said 'Hiraishin no Jutsu'
Tsunade look shock, as did the council members. Danzo look in fact, furious.
Tsunade got up and walk out the room. Everyone was furious and curious about this.
She came back with scrolls, weapons and clothing inside a crate.
"Everything you see will be in here. However Naruto, we are in need of your help. You know that the Water Tree, Sound, Lighting and Iwa are at war with us. Ever since the Shodaime of Water Tree was killed the Nidaime is a ruthless dictator who allied himself with Orochimaru. Naruto, you will meet a group of shinob's at the main gate and proceed with the mission. You will be teaming up with Nara Shikamaru, Hyuuga Hinata, Hyuuga Neji, Haruno Sakura, and Inuzuka Kiba."
"Why?" Naruto ask.
Tsunade sigh and closed her eyes before answering.
"Naruto, you don't have to be a leaf shinobi. However, Rock and Tree Water gain a very strong outpost. I'm asking you as a small favor to take them out. We need that post." Tsunade pleaded with Naruto.
Naruto nodded and disappeared in a yellow flash.
It was several minutes when he appeared again.
"Mission Complete. Water Tree and Rock have retreated and is moving up north towards old Rain Village." Naruto said calmly.
"How did you?" Danzo said.
"Simple, I just appeared killed the guards quietly. By the time anyone knew what happen I was standing over their dead commander's body. A retreat was order and the enemy evacuated the post. Konoha is safe to go and take it. Plus they left a lot of supplies. They were all to scare to face me."
Naruto took the stuff and walk out the room.
Konoha Jounin Bar
Naruto was drinking some sake as he was reading the letter from his father. Kyuubi was right. His father did seal her into him. He even read the reason why. He didn't blame his father. He blamed the village for their unfairness.
Naruto was drinking so much sake he didn't even feel the effects.
'Kyuubi, thank you for making me immune to alcohol.' Naruto thought as he took another swing of sake.
Some of his friends walk over. Ino said she had new information on Naruto. They saw Naruto and decided to ask him if the rumors were true.
"Hey Naruto." Shikamaru greeted.
"Naruto-kun, it is good to see you again." Lee said.
Naruto nodded and took another swing of sake. He quickly pulled away the scrolls and kunai's
Neji, Tenten, Shikamaru, Lee, Ino, Choji, Kiba and Shino sat at the table with Naruto.
"What's wrong Naruto?" Tenten asks.
"Nothing." He replied rudely.
Tenten look a little taken back. She was hurt. Neji glared at the young blond who clearly was the most fear man in the shinobi world. He was rumor to have created an Organization even more powerful then Akatsuki. They had little information. All they knew was it was created by the Battousai.
"Naruto, where have you've been for three years?" Ino ask.
Naruto didn't respond but took another swing of sake.
"You're going to get drunk if you drink to much Naruto-sama." Shino said calmly. Naruto flinch at being directed like that.
"Naruto, I heard you massacre an entire villge." Ino said.
"uh?"
"Naruto what happen?" Ino demanded.
"I'm a criminal. Aren't you going to arrest me?" Naruto said.
Ino look taken back.
"Naruto, we only want to know more about you."
'Well guys, should I tell them?'
'I think so. Just don't tell them anything about the Four War Gods, Kyuubi or your father.' The first voice said.
'I agree, this is a chance for you to open up for once.' Another said.
'Soon we will surface and Akatsuki will face the true power of the Four War Gods. Until then, denied as much as you can. Plus you need to open up.'
'Thanks.'
Naruto look up and look serious.
"I guess I should start when I left."
