Summoner Naruto
By Mage-Alia
Chapter 2: Messing with Konohamaru
Summary: After failing the Genin exam Naruto ends up walking a different path after being presented with a Summoning contract for the rare creatures called "Aeons". Now, unable to use Charka outside his body, Naruto needs to find his own purpose in life while he deals with elementals that tell bad jokes and his extremely reluctant guardian, Sasuke.
Pairing: SasuNaru
Name: Uzumaki, Naruto…
Age of registration: 12…
Specialty Jutsu: Summoning (Effect varies)…
Sarutobi looked down the ninja registration form in his hand and then back up at the boy sitting in the middle of the room.
"Please let me take it again!" Naruto looked totally out of sorts, not only did he look like he hadn't slept in a week but his appearance had gone through a radical change that was all due to the Icy blue skinned woman standing behind him with a little smirk on her face. The majority of what he wore was still orange, but it was slightly toned down, orange pants and a flame coloured shirt where hidden under a white kind of robe that stopped just short of brushing his shins. The sleaves where cut off a few inches above the elbow and bandages covered the rest of his arms, concealing the all-important tattoo's of his new art. Added to that, he still wore his customary goggles on his forehead with his new Forehead protector around his neck. He hadn't been willing to completely leave his childhood objects behind. The third Hokage looked back down at the photo and sighed. Just as the picture had been taken Shiva had stepped into the frame and pulled at Naruto's face. Not only did she ruin the photo Naruto now wore a horrified look that would probably cause him to lose the chance of missions in the future, if his profile didn't deter clients already.
"Alright Naruto, you can take it again." He gave in, knowing it would be better for all in the long run… at least he hadn't tried something stupid…like paint his face…
"Yatta!" Naruto cheered, bouncing up from his seat. Behind him Shiva was pouting. For an Ice queen she sure was emotional. She'd been summoned constantly since the incident with Mizuki just a few days ago, the reason being, Naruto had lost all ability to utilize his Charka. It had been a shock to say the least and it had taken an hour to calm Naruto down after his distraught tantrum. Eventually he'd Summoned Shiva as instructed before the Hokage, Iruka and a few Jonin. After hearing what had happened Shiva had laughed and said a few words that explained it all.
Summoner's couldn't harm others.
They'd been floored to discover the summoning contracts secrets, Naruto most of all. He could still use Charka within his body, for enhancing his movements and speed for something like Taijutsu but he couldn't expel it. That meant no Genjutsu or Ninjutsu whatsoever. So, since Summoner's couldn't retaliate on their own without the assistance of an Aeon, they where required to have what where termed as Guardians. Bodyguards who would dedicate their entire lives to protecting the Summoner in everyway possible, but that was their problem. No one in the Village was willing enough to protect the Kyuubi vessel. So, Shiva was filling in for the time being and was making her presence known by fawning over Naruto at the most inappropriate times, taking some perverse pleasure out of embarrassing her master as much as she could before he got too pissed off and dismissed her again.
The pair had just stood to leave again when the door was flung open and a loud voice proceeded a small body into the room.
"OLD MAN! FIGHT ME!" A kid with an extra long scarf, wearing a benie with a frowning face sewed into it rushed through the door wielding a kunai with all the grace of a heard of Elephants. It was obvious to those watching that he was off balance so it wasn't a surprise when he tripped over his own feet and went skidding along the floor. The Hokage just tugged his wide hat lower over his face and heaved another sigh. Today would be a very long day, wouldn't it. Naruto and Shiva where staring at the boy as if he had two heads. As a dark clad man with small round sunglasses perched on his nose ran in behind the boy with a shout of, "OH, NOT AGAIN!" The boy pulled himself upright holding his head as his eyes searched the room.
"DAMN IT! Who set a trap!" The nin who'd been following him flusteredly pushed his glasses up his nose.
"Are you alright? And there isn't a trap anywhere!"
'Who is this kid…' Naruto thought to himself just seconds before the pair noticed him and his escort. The man, Ebisu, got a strange, constipated look on his face as he saw Shiva while the boy yelled out.
"HEY! I KNOW YOU DID SOMETHING!" Stupidly he charged Naruto who, while he couldn't use Charka, wasn't exactly a push over. He grabbed the kid by the front of his shirt and hauled him up, giving him a piece of his mind as he blew off some of the steam he'd been working up all week.
"YOU JUST TRIPPED ON YOUR OWN BAKA!" Most of the occupants of the room sweat dropped while Ebisu leaped into action. He hadn't been a fan of Naruto before due to the presence of his passenger and now that it was slowly becoming common knowledge that he could no longer use Charka the elite Jounin had the impression he could walk all over the boy.
"HEY KID! LET GO OF HIM! THAT'S THE 3rd HOKAGE-SAMA'S GRANDSON!" Everything went silent and still holding Konohamaru in a tight grip Naruto cast Ebisu a look. His whisker scars where twitching in time with the tick in his eye and his slightly jagged canine teeth looked more like fangs. Konohamaru's facial expression became even more bitter as the seconds ticked past while Naruto hesitated.
"Go ahead and punch me!" the 'honoured grandson' challenged, secure in the knowledge that no one would ever hurt him knowing who he was. Unfortunately for him Naruto wasn't the kind of person Konohamaru was used to.
"YOU THINK I GIVE A DAMN MORON!" Naruto dropped the boy but wasted no time in bringing round a fist and belting him in the head.
"OOOOWWWIIIIEEEEE!" Ebisu freaked out at the sight but Naruto just ignored the ensuring ruckus and stalked out the door, Shiva giggling behind him.
'Geez…' Sarutobi meshed his fingers together in front of his face. 'Why did he turn out like that… that was the 20th time he's ambushed me today…' Ebisu, who was panicking again, brought him out of his ponderings.
"Huh! Damn! He got away again!" The Hokage let out another sigh and absentmindedly pointed to the door as he gathered up Naruto's Registration papers and profile, and put them in a pile to await the new photo.
"Look's like he followed Naruto." The old man couldn't help but repress a snicker when his grand son's tutor went into alarm mode and scrambled for the door.
"WHAT! THAT'S REALLY BAD!" The Hokage shook his head. Normally he would have been worried about Konohamaru going after Naruto, but with recent events he figured it should be all right… it wasn't like he would teach the younger boy anything stupid…
Naruto's eye was twitching for the fiftieth time that day as he spotted another flash from the corner of his eye.
"He's following us again isn't he." He said in an Irritated tone to Shiva. The blue skinned Aeon nodded.
"I think he's getting worse." She agreed as the walked past a section of the fence that was lumpy and boarded horizontally instead of vertically. Naruto narrowed his eyes and pressed his lips into a thin line before he span back around and roughly tugged away the poor camouflage blanket to reveal a shocked Konohamaru.
"Stop following me!" Naruto raged briefly. "You aren't fooling anyone!" The boy recovered his composure and looked up at him arrogantly.
"Hehe… impressive to see through this… the rumours about you are true…" Naruto stared at him. What rumours? Since when where there rumours about him? Shiva must have thought the same thing as she strutted around him and in one easy swipe, had Konohamaru dangling from her hand.
"Who's been talking about my Naruto-Sama?" She asked rather bluntly. Konohamaru seemed to realise he'd said the wrong thing and chuckled nervously.
"Well, they said that you beat your academy with an unbeatable technique…" He trailed off looking determined. "I HAVE to beat my grandpa so people will acknowledge me!" The words made Naruto freeze, both at the need for acknowledgement and hearing that someone actually wanted to learn the Orioke No Jutsu. Silently he gestured for Shiva to put him down set him with a measuring stare.
"So let me get this straight… you want to learn the Orioke No Jutsu…?" Konohamaru looked up at him with pathetic eyes.
"You can be my boss!" Naruto's face twisted awkwardly as he thought then he shrugged carelessly and turned around.
"Come on then." He said walking toward a busier street. Hearing about the Jutsu he'd created was still a very big sore point, a rather painful reminder of his inability to use Charka. So, pushing the feeling to the back of his mind he pasted his smile back on his face and began his lecture on the Jutsu, figuring if he couldn't use it, he might as well make sure someone else could.
"OKAY! The basics are Kyu, Bon, Kyu! Do it now!" Naruto was in drill sergeant mode as he stood in front of Konohamaru in a clearing close to the place where Mizuki and Iruka had been fighting that night. The same night they'd had to explain the little he'd overheard Mizuki saying about Kyuubi.
"Yes Boss!" The Hokage's grandson responded eagerly, making the hand signs clumsily.
"HENGE!" A large cloud of smoke filled the air around him and when it cleared a moment later Naruto didn't bother to hide his exasperation, slapping a hand over his eyes. Off to one side Shiva winced held up a large score card with a number in the negatives written on it.
"NO!" Naruto burst out loudly. "You're doing it all wrong! You have to be slender! You have to be beautiful! Remember what I showed you in the market place! The more your Orioke No Jutsu form appeals to a person the better it works!" The overweight bikini clad and horrendously ugly vision vanished in yet another puff of smoke leaving a dejected kid in its place. Naruto sighed and closed his eyes thoughtfully before grinning.
"It's okay though… you just need more practice!"
Ebisu stood on the highest point of the village scanning the streets and training areas with Charka enhanced senses in an attempt to find his young charge.
'When ever the Kyuubi kid it involved, it can't turn out any way but bad.' He thought to himself. 'I am an elite tutor, I have taught many future Hokage candidates. I will get rid of that virus that infects my student and if you learn Ninja skills from me, becoming Hokage is easy…' Suddenly his ears detected a commotion from the forest and he sprung to his feet, taking a running leap off the edge of the building and appearing on the next.
'I'm you number one short cut, young master.'
"…By the way… why are you going after your grandpa so much?" Naruto and Konohamaru both had drinks in hand as they sat on a felled log, enjoying a well-earned break from their practice and now Naruto was fishing around for a few answers. After hearing his question though Konohamaru seemed to lose all the good cheer he'd shown just moments before. The silence in the clearing stretched out before he finally spoke.
"Grandpa gave me the name Konohamaru. I'm named after the village." He began. "But even though everyone is used to that name here… nobody ever calls me that." Naruto looked at him as his face twisted into something frighteningly bitter.
"When everyone see's me or calls me… all they see is Hokage's grandson. Nobody sees me as me! I'm sick of that! That's why I want the Hokage name now." Naruto didn't say anything to that. The words where so familiar to the ones he'd been spouting off just last week. Ever since the incident that gave him Shiva he'd been thinking more and more as his goals seemed so out of reach, but then he'd come to the realisation with the help of Iruka that he could still keep his dreams and become Hokage. He just needed to work a little harder. He may act stupid all the time but he knew that being the Hokage meant protecting the village, caring for everyone in it even if they didn't like you. Konohamaru however, didn't quite seem to understand that.
"Idiot." Naruto mumbled harshly, quickly gaining the younger boy's attention. "Who would acknowledge a punk like you! The Hokage name isn't so easy that a brat like you could take it." Konohamaru was going red in the face.
"It's not that easy moron." The Summoner went on. "Hokage, Hokage, If you want the name that much then…" He trailed off and the honoured grandson clenched his fists.
"Then what!" Naruto couldn't keep the wicked foxy grin off his face.
"Then try to kick my ass first." He challenged. "It isn't just about being strong, or acknowledgement." Something in his words must have struck Konohamaru hard as he stared at him blankly, but before the boy could respond to Naruto's taunts a voice yelled out from behind them.
"I have found you!" Konohamaru jumped about a foot and span around, glaring up at the trees while Naruto gaze Shiva a cool look for not warning him that Ebisu was sneaking up behind them. The Icy queen merely shrugged but moved to stand at Naruto's shoulder anyway.
"Now, Young Master, let's go home." Ebisu said, dropping from the treetops and striding toward them. The 'Young Master' scowled, looking determined.
"NO! I'm going to defeat grandpa and get the Hokage name! Right now! Don't get in my way!" At his words Naruto just sighed and shook his head… it had been to soon to hope that something he'd said had actually sunk in. "HENGE!" Ebisu seemed to disregard the Charka flowing around his student and continued toward them.
"A Hokage must be well versed in all aspects of being a ninja. You must know over a 1,000 skills and then finally…. Huh?" A puff of smoke from Konohamaru's change blew into his face and he began to pay attention.
"TAKE THIS!" Konohamaru shouted. "ORIOKE NO JUTSU!" Hours of practice had paid off for the boy as he turned into a sexy, well built young blonde woman… who also happened to be completely naked this time. Ebisu stared at the boy his jaw hanging open in shock. Konohamaru dispelled the technique.
"Huh? It didn't work!" He complained as Ebisu managed to gather his wits.
"W… WH… WHAT A VULGER SKILL! I am a gentleman, such a super low class skill WILL NEVER WORK AGAINST ME!" He went off into a full-fledged rant as he tried to drag his student away by his scarf.
"Young master, if you hang with the likes of him, You'll just turn stupid! Just do as I say. I am your easiest short-cut to becoming Hokage. Now let's go home!"
"NO!"
By this point Naruto was just getting more and more pissed off with the Jounin.
"Shiva!" He snapped.
"Yes Naruto-Sama?" She asked looking down at him as he peeled back the bracelet that was holding the bandages over his summoning tattoos on his right hand. He unwound them to reveal two more coloured circles connected to the first blue one that represented Shiva and put a finger over the gold one.
"Will you do something for me?"
It was the sudden flood of water the nearly knocked the struggling pair off their feet that really caught their attention. Naruto stood on a rock above the flood with Shiva and a new Summon that was concealed by large Yellow and gold wings. They dropped lightly to the ground again when the rest of the illusion vanished leaving the two aeons ready and waiting for orders.
"Wow…" Konohamaru mumbled when he saw the new comer. "That's incredible!" Ebisu however backed up and got into a ready stance, grinning cockily.
"He, how foolish, I am an elite tutor, I am not Mizuki." Naruto just grinned before walking over and grabbing Konohamaru. Covering the boy's eyes he nodded a signal to Shiva and her companion and they finally moved.
The Ice queen reached up to the clasp at her throat and threw away her cloak which Naruto caught with his free hand before it could hit the ground. Ebisu's jaw had dropped again at the sight of the bikini-clad body underneath the faintest trickle of blood coming from under his nose. Then golden wings unfolded from around the other Aeon and Ebisu was sent sprawling in a literal geyser of blood a few moments later at what they did. The blonde beauty with wings on the side of her head wasn't wearing anything at all. Her clothes where so few and so similar to the colour of her skin that they blended in, giving the impression she was naked. Added to the fact she and Shiva quickly began taunting Ebisu the tutor hadn't stood a chance. Naruto burst out laughing in an instant as Shiva reclaimed her cloak. When Siren had refolded her wings in front of her body he let Konohamaru go. The boy checked on his tutor and saw at one that he was out for the count.
"DAMNIT! I couldn't even defeat my own tutor! I really want a name that people will acknowledge! Yet why!" He clenched his fists and stomped his foot bad temperedly before Naruto walked up and whapped him over the back of the head.
BAM!
"It's not that easy dummy!" Naruto said as the boy went sprawling. "This is the Hokage name, name of the greatest ninja in the village." He trailed off to let this sink in while Konohamaru stared at the ground sulkily. Finally he let out a sigh and turned around, walking a few paces away.
"With so many bad things… I was often lost." Konohamaru looked up sharply as he began to speak once more. "Then… I finally found people that would accept me…" He sent a look over at Shiva and smiled, think about Iruka-sensei at the same time.
"But just that was incredibly difficult. You better prepare yourself…" Konohamaru wore a look of confusion.
"Prepare?" Naruto looked back over his shoulder and gave him a vulpine grin.
"If you want an incredible name like Hokage that everyone will acknowledge… There ain't going to be any shortcuts!" Chuckling slightly at the sudden realisation that dawned in Konohamaru's face he turned and began to walk away. As he did he heard the younger boy yelling and smiled at the thought of his new competition.
"…I'm not letting you be my boss any longer! From now on we're rivals!" Naruto didn't stop walking and yelled over his shoulder.
"Sorry, but starting tomorrow I'm taking my first step as a ninja. But hey, one day I'll fight you for that Hokage name, I'll be looking forward to it Konohamaru!" As he passed out of sight the boy finally broke out of his stupor and happily yelled goodbye, but Naruto and Shiva where already gone, that later thinking about ramen and nothing else.
Back in the Hokage tower people where yelling and screaming as guards charged into the Hokage office to find the third sprawled on the floor, surrounded by a pool of his own blood. On the table he'd been sitting at the crystal ball was glowing, stuck on the image of Konohamaru kicking Ebisu until he finally dragged himself to the world of waking.
Somewhere in his mind Sandaime was shaking his head in exasperation. Trust Naruto to find Summon's that would emulate the effects of his old Jutsu…
Well there you have it! Chapter two is complete! Enjoying the story so far? From the response I got for the first chapter I can only assume you lot wanted me to continue so there's no worry that I'll stop anytime soon… although now I'm juggling two stories… (I'm having trouble with Dark Summoner… I can't for the life of me write that Tidus/Harry lemon… it just doesn't seem to fit anywhere… maybe I'll leave it off to the sequel…?)
Extra!
Naruto's Tattoo!
While I'm at it I think I'd better explain a bit about Naruto's ability. His summoning Tattoo's on his arms look like a diamond and has seven webbed rows of the circles that summon the Aeon's. Each row requires a certain level of power or ability to Summon, meaning Naruto can't use them all at once, also sometimes their Allegiance needs to be earned by the Summoner. By the end of this chapter Naruto only has six usable Aeons. Three on each arm and so far, only two have been mentioned. You'll find out the rest and their order as they pop up and I'll give you more info on the Summoning later.
Don't forget to review!
