DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto or S-Cry-Ed
THE NEW HOKAGE AND THE GIRLS DECISION
Naruto was now closing in on the old woman,' first, let's see how she deals with a frontal assault. That way, I can get to know how skilled she is,' he then threw three shurikens at her, but she simply turned her head over and dodge them effortlessly. He then pulled out a kunai and aimed for her head, but she took the weapon by its ring and before he knew it, she was aiming straight for his head. Quickly thinking of something he focused the chakra to his feet and jumped out of the way of the attack, skidding to the same spot he was in before the fight started,' hmm, so that's how good, huh? Well it certainly looks like I'll have to use my Alter on her. May have to even use all my power, considering her skill.'
"HEY, BRAT," Tsunade yelled out to the boy," why do you care so much about the title of Hokage?"
"Unlike you, I'm going to take the title of Hokage myself," he then paused a bit and looked straight into the woman eyes, his own eyes burning with determination," Hokage…being Hokage is my dream," he proudly announce with a smirk.
The lady Sannin had a shocked look on her face and started to think back on something, which didn't go unnoticed by the former blond,' she vulnerable,' he then cocked back his right hand and started to pump chakra into it,' okay, time to use the jutsu I was training on, hopefully the training I have been doing has paid off,' the blue sphere of chakra then appeared on his hand.
When she felt the spike of chakra, she saw him running towards him with the jutsu the Fourth Hokage used," TAKE THIS," she heard him yell out.
As he was in range to use the jutsu, Tsunade slammed her finger into the ground and upon impact; she made a fissure of sorts and made Naruto disengage the jutsu. That let her have enough time to get in range of his forehead and flick him in the head, thus making him fly towards a wall. But before he could hit that wall, she saw he had a smirk on his face. Then the wall he was going to hit exploded out of existence and he went straight into the hole, while kicking up a dust cloud, to cover for the people from seeing if he's alright or not.
"Hehehe, your gonna have to better than grandma," Tsunade heard as he was getting out of the whole, but the dust cloud was still there, until it blew away and showing his new appearance," you didn't think that an attack like that would hurt me do you," and there he stood, with his Alter arm out.
"Jiraiya, what is this?" she was confused and mad at the same time.
"Hmm, I'm not going to say anything, but let's just say that it has to do with his little 'tenant'," the old pervert said as he leaned against a wall and had his arms crossed, all the while holding a smirk on his face.
"At least answer me this," he turned his head to the lady Sannin," are you the one who taught him the Rasengan?" she got a nod as an answer," only you and the Fourth Hokage can use that technique. Are you acting like a teacher and teaching him something he can't master? Don't give him any ideas!" Naruto harden his glare at that moment," That's why kid likes to daydream that he's going to be Hokage one day."
"WHO SAYS I'M DAYDREAMING, YOU IDIOTIC OLD HAG," she then turned her attention back to the former blond and saw the look in his eyes, they felt like they could make hell freeze over," I don't care what you say about me, but if you insult my dreams and think nothing of the consequences, then you're going pay. And besides, I bet I could complete it in three days, tops. Considering that I completed the first two steps on the same day," when she heard the last sentence, she had a shocked look.
But being the gambler she is, she heard the bet and took the chance on something," Well, well, now you said it boy. You know, a man never goes back on his word."
"Heh, like I ever go back on my word," he then powered down, seeing as how the fight seems to be done," because that's my nindo, my ninja way," all of his friends who heard this smiled, when he said that. He never gives up until he accomplishes it and that made them happy to have such a friend, or soon to be lover for the three girls.
"Then how about we make a bet," she saw he had a confused look and continued," I'll give you one week; if you can the master move within that time, I'll acknowledge that you can become the Hokage and," she then pointed to her necklace with a crystal that was around her neck," I'll even give you this."
"Tsunade!" Shizune then stepped up, surprised by her mentor at what she was doing," that's an important…" but she was caught off by the crusher Alter user.
"Heh, what use would I have for a piece of junk like that," to Naruto, it didn't look like much and he really didn't have a use for something worthless.
"Don't say such a thing Naruto," he then turned his head to his pervert sensei," That's a unique crystal which could buy about three mountains if you sold it and it used to belong to the First Hokage."
The former blond was surprised,' about three mountains? Are you serious? And it used to belong to the First Hokage? Hmm, maybe having that would have people acknowledge me as becoming the next Hokage, if after she's done with her term. But that's to say if she even comes back at all,' after being done with his thought, he turned his eyes back to the old lady," I see, I guess it wouldn't hurt to have it then," he said in a cocky voice.
"Okay, but if you can't master this move in a week and lose," she then got a wallet out, which turned out to bet his little frog wallet," then I'll take all of your money."
"Aw crap, that's my wallet," he then frantically looked high and low for his wallet in his pockets and everything else,' now I won't be able to pay for the girls if we go out to get something eat,' he then had a stream of tears going to down his eyes. He then saw her attendant go to her and talk to her, by the looks of it, she was not agreeing with this bet, which the old lady didn't care. They then left, leaving the group of people behind.
Hinata was the first to see if the former blond was alright," N-Naruto, are you okay?"
"Heh, never better," he said as he pumped his arm up.
"Yea, but are you sure you wanna take this bet, it seems kinda risky even though it's just you money," Kanami was worried that he might hurt himself if he went to far with this.
"Yea, I'm sure," he then turned his head to the sand kunoichi," aren't you going to say anything," he was sure that she too had something to say.
"Naw, I know you can beat her at her bet, so I'm not as worried as these two," she said with a smirk," but push don't yourself too far, okay?" Temari asked in a concerned voice.
"Will do," he then turned to the cutter Alter user," Hey Lee, I'm gonna need you on this training," the former bushy brow said as he went up to his friend and put his hand on his shoulder.
"We will make lady Tsunade regret making that bet, we can also train our Alters while we do the training," he got a confused look from the former blond," I still need to develop my Alter even though I have all the experience from Ryuho," Naruto then nodded in understanding.
"But first thing we need to do is find a hotel," they all nodded at what the Naruto," oh and perverted hermit," Jiraiya then looked at his student," you're going to pay for all of us," the old man then looked at him like he was crazy," look, I wouldn't say that in the first place of that old hag hadn't stole my frog wallet, so you'll have to deal with it," he then paused a bit," or else," the old pervert then hung his head in defeat.
When they all got their respective rooms (girls having their own while the boys had another) Naruto heard a knock at the door, who was the only one in the room,' hm? Who else besides the other would be knocking, I don't recognize the chakra signature,' thinking back on how Akatuski attacked, he pulled out a kunai from his back pouch," COMING," he called out so the person on the other side knows, but got surprised who it was," hey your that lady who was with that old hag. You're um, ummm," he tried to think who it was.
"Shizune and I'm sorry for such a late night visit. Naruto, I need to talk to you," seeing the concerned look on her face, he makes a gesture for her to do so," pleased don't get the wrong image of miss Tsunade, also I need to tell you about that necklace."
"Hm? What about it?" besides what he heard of the necklace, what else was there to know about it? The raven-haired woman then answered him.
"Before I tell you, let me explain about lady Tsunade," she paused a bit and then spoke," A long time ago, she wasn't like this. She was a kind person who loved her village, but she has changed…ever since that day," the former blond cocked his head in confusion," the day she last her dream, her love, and her hope…the only things that remains is that necklace, which is filled with many memories," her face turned sad at that moment," to lady Tsunade, that thing is as important as her life. It's not something she should use in a bet."
"Heh, like I care, she's the one who brought it up," he was wishing that she would just get to the point about the necklace.
"Also, that necklace isn't just a normal necklace that you can wear," her face then turned grim," it only accept lady Tsunade…if another person tries to wear that necklace, that person will," she closed her eyes and paused for awhile, she then opened her eyes and said," die."
She then told her what happened to the last two people who wore it, her lover and little brother, who had died. After that, there was long silence, but after the time, she continued," you understand now, don't you know Naruto? Ever since that day, lady Tsunade has lived in a state of confusion," after she said that, the former blond started to walk out, his front hair shadowing his eyes," Naruto?"
He turned his head to her slightly, only showing his left eye, a mix of anger and sadness in them," I'm going to train. If you see Lee, tell him I'll meet him at the outskirts," he said in a monotone voice.
The next morning we see the two Alter user training. Naruto has started to perfect the Rasengan, but it still doesn't have enough power to show that he has truly mastered and Lee is trying to get used to fighting with Zetsuei.
"My friend, we need to take a break," Naruto nodded and collapsed on his but, while at the same time Lee did the same thing," woooh, you only need three days at most to truly master the Rasengan, I see," the former blond smiled lazily and nodded," I just hope we can try to get lady Tsunade to come back with us to Konoha, we need her assistance as a healer for both Kakashi and Sasuke. While at the same time, we need her as the next Hokage."
"Yea, I know, but we can't really force her," he then tried to stand up, but it was kinda difficult considering the pain in his legs," we need her to change herself, or she won't be really fit to be Hokage. This training will hopefully open those clouded eyes."
Lee then smirked, he knew that when someone fights Naruto, their perspective on life changes, whether they see it or not," you're right Naruto, well," he then painfully got back up," we can't convince her if we're not truly not strong enough, now can we? ZETSUEI," and with that, their training lasted for about six days.
The girls at the hotel were getting worried about the two boys, they had stumbled upon them training, but they said they needed to be left alone and that they should stay in town and try to convince Tsunade to reconsider her choice of not becoming Hokage. So far, they have had no luck in swaying the old woman's decision. On the sixth day, they wanted to go and see if the two were alright, but as soon as they left out from the entrance of the hotel, they saw the two supporting each other with cut and bruises all over them.
"Hehehe, I finally mastered it and Lee got the hang of his Alter," the former blond said weakly with a foxy grin on his face which Lee had his own grin as well. After he had said that, they both collapsed on the floor. The girls then ran to them and checked hem over.
They all let out a sigh of relief, glad that the two weren't in serious condition. They just need a day of rest, or maybe two by the way they looks of it.
It only took Naruto to nighttime of the day to recover from him being exhausted," uuh, I feel like a giant ass frog has stomped on my head about ten times," in the summon animal dimension, Gamabunta sneezed.
"Good you're alright Naruto," he then turned his head to see not only the sand kunoichi who spoke, but Hinata and Kanami there worried as well," we were worried about you, don't ever do that to us again," Temari said with genuine concern.
"Hmph, sorry, I guess when I set my mind on something, I just can't stop until I accomplish it. Not even if it destroys my body in the process, heh, like Kazuma," he whispered the last part, not wanting the girls to hear what he said.
"Please don't say that Naruto," Hinata outburst her voice, shocking the former blond," I don't know what I'd do if I, no, we lost you," she started to have tears in her eyes," I don't how I would deal with it, I just don't," the other two who heard this, had sad looks on their face, showing that they agreed with her.
"Hinata," he said quietly, shocked at how she felt. After a brief moment of silence, he then spoke up," thank you for caring show much you guys, you don't know how happy that makes me feel," he saw they were confused, but still had sadness in their eye," let me explain, I've…I've hardly truly felt happy in my. The villagers always directed their hatred toward me for something that I am not."
"What do you mean?" Kanami asked, feeling even more sadness that the villager would do something like that, which wasn't his fault,' this may be the reason why when we got in the hospital, the people looked at us with hate and said some mean things. Is he telling us why?'
"In order for me to tell you why, I need to tell you Konoha's history," he then turned to the Hyuuga heiress," Hinata, what do you remember of the history lessons that were taught to us about the attack of the nine tailed fox, Kyuubi."
She thought for a moment," that it was an evil demon able to cause relentless havoc, and the Fourth Hokage had killed it," she then cocked her head in confusion," but was does that have to do with what we're talking about?"
"It has everything to do with, seeing as how that history lesson was a lie, well except the part about it attacking Konoha," she confused even more, and opted to answer the unsaid question," don't you think it a bit suspicious that a powerful demon was killed by someone, even if they're as powerful as the Fourth Hokage? The Kyuubi was the most powerful demon known to us."
"Now that you say that," Hinata trailed off, not even caring that she is talking normally to her crush.
"No, no human can stop such power. The only thing the Fourth Hokage could do to stop such a power was to seal it into a container, but not just any container. He sealed it into a baby who had his umbilical cord just cut and can you take a gander who this baby was?" it then dawn on them who this baby was.
"Y-you mean…" Temari worried question trailed off,' so that's why he was able to relate to my brother so much,' she then started to tear up,' Naruto, you suffered just as much as my brother and you have done nothing to deserve it, just like my brother,' she then got determination in her eye,' that's it, I won't leave you not matter what and just like you, I'll keep that vow until the end.'
"Naruto," Hinata said weakly in her voice, ready to cry for him,' so that's why they have done so many mean things to you. When I would follow you around I would see the hate they had in their eyes when they saw you. The time they had stoned, stabbed, and even sometimes tortured you, I would always wonder why they would do such thing to a little boy who had done nothing to them except play an occasional prank, but even those didn't deserve such actions,' she then looked right at the former blond,' I will not let you feel that way again Naruto. And I keep my word, that's my nindo, my ninja way.'
"How horrible," Kanami she said as she tried to stop from crying herself,' how could a village do such a thing to a person like Naruto, who had done nothing but help protect them from danger and all other sorts of things, he even protects them by having the nine tail sealed in him. If anything, that village doesn't deserver such a hero,' she looked at Naruto,' I'll make sure you don't feel alone again Naruto, I swear it.'
"But you know what the funny thing is," he then saw a look on their face that said 'what' and answered their looks," before the chunnin exams, I met the fox that was sealed in me," their eyes looked like they were going to bulge out of place," oh don't worry, for all the things they said were true about the nine tails, the one twelve years ago."
"What you mean?" the sand kunoichi asked, clearly confused what he meant by that.
"Well, let's say that instead of the 'real' nine tails fox, I got someone else who took his role by, how can I say this?" he then cocked his head and had a finger on his chin, the girls thought it was cute how he looked like that," by accident."
"Accident?" Kanami asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Well, long story short, he's the reason I have my Alter and that he was tricked by the fox himself and that he's the demon lord himself now," at hearing this, they got shocked again," I'll tell you guys the story about this some other time, okay?" the all nodded their heads.
'So that's why his appearance changed at the start of the finals,' the sand kunoichi thought, which Hinata had as well.
'If that's true, does that mean…' Kanami was remembering her visions of the other person who had the same powers and looked like Naruto,' it has to, maybe when tells us the rest, I'll know for sure.'
"Naruto," the former blond then turned his head to the sand kunoichi," I know that you may not want me to, but," she then looked straight into his eyes," I'll stay with you as long as I can," he looked a bit shocked," I don't…I don't want someone like you to become like my brother," she then started to tear up, but she had a smile," I want to stay with you, the man I like so much and I wouldn't want it any other way."
He was about to protest about her staying with him, what if she got hurt he though, but then he was cut off by the next voice," I will too," he than looked towards," like Temari, I don't want you to feel that pain again and if being with you, even if it is just as friend, I will stand by you always, I give you my word. And I don't break those because that's my nindo, my ninja way too," she said with determination in her voice and eyes, while holding a very warm smile with little tears being drawn back in her eyes.
He was about to protest to her too, but once again, he was cut off. This time by the Alter user of the group," I will always be with you too," he then looked at her then," I don't want you to feel the pain of feeling alone, like me and my sister did when we were on our travels. I want to be with you and stand by you always, that is my decision and I'm sticking with it," she said with a cheerful voice and smile while also pushing back her tears.
He was shocked by all their speeches, he thought they wouldn't want to be with him after hearing that he housed the nine tailed fox, even though it really it isn't him. He then gave them all a very grateful smile while trying not to cry in happiness,' now I have people who will standby me not matter what. And here I complained about how hard life can be, while it just as rewarding,' he then spoke up to them," thanks you girls, you really have made me the happiest man there is in all of existence," he then yawned," man I'm tired, I think I'm going to hit the sack," he then laid down on his bed and quickly went to sleep.
They all smiled warmly at him, they all then went over and took position on his bed. Temari laid on his right side, Hinata took his right, while Kanami took her right,' maybe fighting over him won't do. Maybe we can have him…together. That wouldn't be so bad,' they all thought. They all decided to talk it over the next day, but now, they just wanted to sleep with the man they wanted to be with for the rest of their lives. (NO, they ain't trying to do the bunny hop on each other)
While all of this was happening, Lee had awoken from being unconscious himself," uuuhh, did anyone get the name of that Alter that ran over me," he said as he set himself up against the wall that the bed was against.
"Shhhh," a voice hushed," you been out for at least the whole day, you shouldn't be up right now. You need to get more rest before your energy gets back to normal," he then saw that it was Scheris tending to him, as she patted his head with a wet rag to cool him down. He smiled at the blue haired woman, he was glad it was her that was tending to him.
"Hehe, doesn't this situation seem familiar," when he said that, she had look that she was thinking back. When she caught what he meant, she giggled at the moment," you know that giggle of yours is really cute," he said with a warm smile.
When he said that, she blushed," r-really?" she had her head down and was fiddling with her index finger, all the while having a smile on her face.
"Really," he then thought of something,' it's risky, but what do I have to lose, 'sigh' hopefully my 'burning youth' will help me through this. Well here goes,' he then took action by lifting her chin up by his hand and looked straight into her eyes," I wouldn't say that if I didn't mean it and also," he then closed in on face, only inches away from her lips," you'll always be beautiful in my eyes," he whispered before he took her lips into his own lips.
She was shocked by the action and was about to push him off, but something stopped her. It somehow felt so right to her and so she deepened by pressing her body up against him. She felt his teeth biting her lower lip and it felt good to her, so she let out a moan in his mouth, making him continue in his action. The next thing he did that made it feel better is that he tried to force his tongue in, which she complied by opening her mouth and let it in. It felt good to be doing this; they felt they could forget the world around them at that moment.
When stopped at making out for at least ten to fifteen minutes, they both laid down on the bed, happy with the way they felt for each other at that moment. And without saying a word to each other, they fell asleep with each other, content in being each other's arms.
The next day, the two woke up, happy to be in the arms of the ones the liked. But the knew that they had business today; it was the day that they had to convince the old lady to come back to Konoha. When they got out of the beds with out trying to wake up the girls, they left the rooms at the same time. When they saw each other they nodded in agreeing in seeing the old lady together and not wait for Jiraiya.
Naruto was the one to knock on the door, when he didn't get answer, he knocked again but he still didn't get an answer. So deciding to open the door, the found out it was unlocked, seeing this they both got ready for anything that might happen. When they felt ready, they ran in to fend off any traps or enemies that were there, but what they saw was that some was knocked out on the floor. Lee went to check who it was and was shocked at who it was.
"Naruto, it's that lady that was with miss Tsunade," when Naruto went to see for himself, he saw it was the lady who had raven hair.
"Hey Shizune," he started to shake her, so she can wake up," come on, wake up."
"Huh?" she then started to wake from being unconscious, when she noticed she was knocked out, she began to panic," oh no, what time is it? No, what day of the week is it?!" this little outburst startle the two of them.
"It's Monday," Lee said simply, confused as to why she acted like this," what is going on miss Shizune?"
Naruto looked around and noted one thing," right now, I'm wondering where that old bat is. Shizune, do you know where she's at?" he wanted to find out where she was, fast. With the way things looked, it wasn't good.
She tried to get up, but then winced from the pain in her midsection. He then saw that she had a scowl, thinking about something bad from what he could tell, she then rushed for the window," Naruto, Lee, stay here," she then opened the window to jump out, but was stopped by a kunai," who…you're."
Naruto and Lee went up to the window and opened the other side," huh? Who is it?" what they both saw was Jiraiya seemingly tired, and angry by the looks of it.
"Wait, Shizune," he said weakly as he leaned against the wall of the hotel. Once they settle him down, Shizune started to check him to see what's wrong with him," damn that Tsunade, she put something in my sake. I can't even mold my chakra correctly and on top of that, my body is numb and I can't throw my kunais properly."
'If that's true, what would have done if that kunai hit her?' the former blond thought as he sweatdropped along with Shizune and Lee," you know that's not cool, and here you boast about being a great ninja and all. Let me guess, she tricked you with perverted trick huh?" he wondered how could someone be so careless.
"SHUT UP," the old man's face then turned serious," she's still a medical specialist, regardless of her current state. Only she can make a tasteless, odorless drug that works against ninjas…I didn't expect her to find an opportunity to poison me, even if I was slightly drunk."
Shizune left to get water for the drugged Sannin. After a minute or so, she came back and handed a glass full of water, he then drank the whole cup in one fitting," lord Jiraiya, how are you feeling?" she then poured more water into the glass.
"Better than I was at dawn," he then took another cup of water to the head," but then again, I've only recovered about 30 percent so far," he then snapped his head, as if sensing something," hey, Shizune," she then turned her head to him," you're going to tell me what you guys talked about with Orochimaru, now," he commanded with serious face and tone.
"Orochimaru?" Lee asked, clearly confused because he had seen the villain but did not know what he was doing in this town, but he now started to piece things together. After seeing his arms, why else would he be in a town that had one of best medical specialist?
The three of them could see the pained look on her face, she then hung her head while covering the pain in her eyes," I wanted to believe in miss Tsunade, so I couldn't say it before," she clutched her stomach, where she had been hit," but," she then stood up with out finishing what she was going to say," we're short on time, please follow me. I'll explain while we move," they nodded and followed where she was going.
While they were moving, they were briefed on what Tsunade. Apparently, she was struck a deal that if she heals Orochimaru's arms, her loved one would be resurrected. This served to anger them, but most notably the two Alter users,' damn that Orochimaru, if I see him, I'm going to shove a shell bullet up his ass," although not as graphic, Lee was thinking along those same lines.
"Once his arms are cured, he plans to renew his attack on Konoha," Shizune explained as she jumped from tree branch to tree branch. (how this woman is able to do that with high heels, I will never know -.-')
"We need to stop him now, or things may take a turn for the worst," Jiraiya said as he did the same.
"Damn fucking ass," Naruto said under his breath, trying not to let his anger control him.
When they got to their destination, they were met with destruction around the whole castle area, well where the castle used to be anyway," 'whistle' looks me on a bad day when I use my shell bullets," Naruto said as he looked at the destruction.
"Ooooh, what a mess the princess has made," as he too looked at the destruction, he then remembered all the times he got hit by her strength and shuddered at the encounter, he couldn't piss the right way for at least two days.
'Hmm, by the looks of it, she must have refused,' Lee then walked up to one of the craters and kneeled down," so where could lady Tsunade be?"
Naruto noticed something green at the corner of his eye and went over to see what it was. He then picked up a jacket with the kanji saying 'gamble' on it," hey isn't this her jacket?"
"Yes it is," he then handed Shizune the jacket, in which she kneeled down for the little piggy named Ton-ton and had it sniff for her scent," Ton-ton, which way?" the little piggy then did 'wee', probably meaning yes and raced off, the others then rushed off while following the pig.
They arrived to see someone ready to attack Tsunade and kill her, but Jiraiya threw a smoke bomb in between them, thus making the attacker back off.
"It's been a long time Jiraiya," the former blond then sees the snake bastard off in a distance with cocky smirk.
"Orochimaru, I see you eyes are looking crazy as usual," he said in his own cocky grin and voice.
Naruto and Lee take a good look at the attacker that was going to kill Tsunade, but Naruto was the only one surprised," huh?! Kabuto?!"
"Heh, Naruto," he said as he turned his head to the former blond, with a smirk on his face.
"Hm? My friend, you know who this is?" Lee asked as he was confused as to how his Alter rival knew this man.
"Remember in the prelims of the chunnin exams, he was the one who quit before the prelims had even begun," Lee then remembered who it was and was just as shocked.
"Why are you here, Kabuto?" he said in an angered voice, already knowing why he was here, but didn't want to admit.
But he didn't answer as the old lady shoved Jiraiya aside and proceeded to try and beat him. That confirmed whose side he was on, not the mention the sound headband he had on was another indication. When she was about to finish him off, he took out a kunai out of a rock that was implanted in it and the next then he did was an unexpected move that served to paralyze the lady Sannin…he cut his hand. The blood coming from the hand had spilt onto Tsunade and she was seen trembling at the feel and look of blood.
'Huh? Is she afraid of blood…shit,' the former blond thought as he looked at the situation. He then saw that he punched her in the face and made her fly into her attendant," 'sigh' I wish it wasn't true, but…let me take a gander here Kabuto. You were a spy for the sound and was ordered to spy on the leaf, thus you were one of the reasons for the attack on Konoha?"
"Very good Naruto, I see that you have improved, mind and body," he said with a sadistic smirk.
"And furthermore is that you were also collecting data on us, considering those nin info cards, it would only seem logical," Naruto deduced further which made Kabuto smirk grow.
"Truly Naruto, where have you been to develop so much," he said as he raised an eyebrow while still holding that smirk," I'm really reconsidering what I thought about you not having any talent to be a shinobi."
"I guess I'll take that as a compliment, you traitor," Naruto said with venom dripping in his voice.
"Oh don't be like that, you really wound me with that look you have on your face," the sound spy said in a mocked hurt tone.
"Enough of this," he said in an enraged voice," you shall pay for your crimes against the leaf village," he then charged in, ignoring the protest from his perverted sensei. But Lee was right with him in his charge, not wanting to leave his friend to an unknown opponent and not for him to have all the fun.
Lee was the first to attack as he try to kick him up, but Kabuto dodge the kick and took hold of the leg and threw him over to Naruto. But the former blond dodge his thrown friend, who recovered right in the air and charged back. Naruto then went in to give him a punch straight in the face, but Kabuto caught the punch and elbowed him in the gut and punched him straight in the face. That made him fly back a bit, but Lee jumped in and went in and did a flurry of punches, which Kabuto dodged and blocked at times. Deciding he had enough, he kneed the cutter Alter user in the gut and backhand punched him out the way. The two stopped in their assault, not even winded in any way. They've felt worse punishment considering they tested each other's pain tolerance during their training.
Looking upon them, he expected them to be winded after such an assault, but to his slight surprise was that they weren't," hmm, I see you two will be more trouble than I thought," he said in the same cocky smirk he had before.
"Hmph, you have yet to see our true power, traitor," Lee said, sounding almost close to Ryuho's cold tone when he's battling someone he considers evil.
"So don't think you've won just yet, you fucking asshole," Naruto said in a cocky voice with an almost evil looking grin.
Kabuto shrugged and took out a pill," huh? That's a blood clotting pill," Shizune called out, which made the two Alter users raise an eyebrow at, but shrugged it off themselves, the name was kinda self explanatory. He ten took the pill in his mouth and chewed on it.
"Is it to make up for all the blood he lost?" Jiraiya asked Shizune, as he didn't take his eyes off his former snake teammate.
"That kid…he's the same as me, a medical ninja," she answered, knowing that answer would be enough for him to know.
"Looks like you bleeding rather severely, Kabuto," the snake Sannin said as he too never took his eyes off his former teammate.
"Lord Orochimaru, please remove the bandage from your left arm," The snake bastard smirked and lifted up his left arm that was bandaged and took a bit out of the bandages themselves, showing an arm that was decaying.
"It seems it's time to show off our skills," he then turned to the medic nins," Shizune," she then looked at him, waiting for whatever he was going to say," you take on four-eyes," she was about to take the order, but an enraged voice interrupted.
"LIKE HELL SHE WILL," all eyes turned to the two Alter users who were darkening in color, while the area around them exploded out of existence. Naruto then stood with his 'Grand Breaker' out, while to most of the peoples surprised, Lee had Zetsuei standing in an arrogant posture. The former blond then spoke with great anger in his voice," if anyone has him, it's Lee and me. We'll take care of him," he then turned his head slightly to the woman, while still having his back to her and facing Kabuto at the same time," your job Shizune, is to take care of the old bat while we take him on, got it?" he said, not really asking.
Shizune nodded, knowing that she wouldn't be able to stop and she did want to take care of Tsunade first. Jiraiya sighed, but at least Orochimaru's right hand man was occupied," heh, I guess that just leave you and me, Orochimaru," the old pervert said with a smirk on his face.
While all the fight was occurring, the girls started to wake up from sleeping, the first one to notice something was wrong was Hinata," huh? Naruto? Where are you?" she asked as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
Awoken by the Hyuuga heiresses question, the other two start to wake up, they too take notice that the former blond wasn't there," hey, where's Naruto?" the sand kunoichi asked to the other two.
"I don't know?" Kanami was starting to get worried, the vision she just had now was troubling her. If the vision was, then that meant…she then left to go check on her sister and see for herself. The two thought it was strange the way she ran out, but then they started to feel like something bad was going to happen and left the room to follow her.
"Sis, you in there?" she banged on the door as to try and wake her up. Hoping that the two boys were not actually in that battle. If they were, it meant they were in more trouble than they should be.
Being woken by the banging on the door, Scheris looks to where the man she liked, only to find he wasn't there," huh? Where did Lee go?" she asked to no one particular. She then started to hear the banging again," hold on, I'm coming," she then got up from the bed and went to see whom it was. She opened the door to see the three girls standing in front of her with worried looks," what's wrong?" she was now starting to get worried too.
"Sis, I have you seen Naruto, or Lee?" Kanami asked in a truly worried voice.
"No, I haven't," she felt she should know so she asked her sister something," did you have a vision?" she didn't answer and that made her worry more, so she asked the next question," was it something bad?" he silence was all that was needed.
Temari, who decided she had enough, asked her own question," just what is wrong? Tell us Kanami," she asked on a truly worried voice.
She didn't answer after a long silence, she then spoke after the long wait," there in trouble, they're fighting Orochimaru," the three were about to take off to help them, but the stopped when they heard was she said next," STOP, WE CAN'T HELP," surprised by her little outburst, they gave her a look for her to continue," if we go and try to help them, we'll only be in the way. The power of this fight is way beyond our level of combat, so there's nothing we can do…but wait," she said sadly.
"What the hell do you mean?! We have to go and help Naruto," Temari said in an outburst voice, she was about to take off but Scheris stopped her, the blue haired woman held her in place as the sand kunoichi tried to get free. But she was frantic and not in her right mind, so getting out was futile, she then resigned herself to stop and was slowly hugged by her captor," we have to help him, please? I don't want to lose him," she cried into the girl's shoulders, hoping that Naruto would come back safely
Scheris wanted so much to go to Lee as well, but knowing that her sister was right, they wouldn't be able to help. She looked to see that Hinata was and saw that she was on the floor, her back up against the wall while she hugged her knees to her head, she too was crying for the boy. Deciding she had enough, she let out her own tears, hoping so much for Lee to be safe when they came back.
Back on the battlefield, the two sound nins, Kabuto and Orochimaru, attacked the group with summon snakes, making a crater and some dust to be kicked. Jiraiya wasn't in any condition to stop the snakes from attacking seeing as how Tsunade's poison is still affecting his chakra, he is also left with dealing with Orochimaru himself.
Naruto and Lee leapt in one direction, away from the two Sannin fighting and the dust cloud, but one of the snakes jumped out of the cloud and gobble up the former bushy brow," LEE," Naruto yelled out.
The snake then turned it head to the former blond, but then it stopped its progress. The next thing that happened was that two purple ribbons struck out from the snake's neck, one on top and the other on the bottom. What happened next was the two purple spinned around a few times and cut the snake's head right off, and exiting from the severed body was Lee.
"Eeewww, now I got snake guts on me. Scheris probably won't even touch me with ten foot pool with this smell on me," after he said that, his shoulders sagged and streams of tears went down his eye.
"Ah, don't your little head about that," the former blond said as he patted his friend on the back. He then noticed Kabuto had token care of Shizune by knocking her out and was beating on Tsunade," right now we don't have time for that, SHOCKING FIRST BULLET."
When Kabuto heard that, he then whipped his head in time to get a really, really hard punch in the face. The sound spy then flew off quite a distance, but quickly recovered himself in the air. Kabuto then charged in for the former blond with his hands glowing with chakra, ready to cut any support he has on his body and slowly finish him off. But he was cut off in his attack as Zetsuei kicked him upwards to the sky. Naruto, seeing his opportunity, looked quickly at Lee and gave him a look that said 'let me use him' to which the former bushy brow nodded. Naruto dashed off and used the Alter puppet as a jumping base.
"Time for you to feel some true pain, traitor," After saying that, Naruto gave the sound spy a flurry of punches and kicks that he couldn't block or dodge. While the combo was going on, they were both rising up in the air and Lee knew what was to happen next, as the former blond ended the combo and raised his Alter fist," time to end this, ANNIHILATING SECOND 'SPIRAL' BULLET," the attack sent them falling to the ground with Naruto on top. Once they hit the ground, the former blond said his tai-jutsu combo," GRAND SPIRAL FANG BARRAGE."
Naruto lifted himself out the crater he created with the traitor's body, thinking that he had killed him on the spot, but that was not to be. The injuries inflicted on his body quickly healed and once he had regained his senses back, he took out a kunai and charged for the former blond. Lee didn't have to for him or Zestuei to interfere with the attack, but Naruto felt the attack coming and turned just in time to block the kunai…with it piercing through his left hand.
"You damn ass, you don't know when to give up do you?" Naruto said in a statement more than a question, within an enraged voice," 'growl' fine, if that's the way you want it," Naruto then powered up his Alter once again. When he powered up, his right Alter disintegrated, leaving him armless for a few seconds. The people who saw this were surprised, except Lee. Another arm then came in place of his previous arm, he had now powered up to his second stage (like I said, if you want detail, just read the previous chapters)," you've earned this reward, you fucking traitor," he then formed the Rasengan in his hand.
'He's completed the Rasengan,' thought Tsunade as she looked at the power it now held, which rivaled even her power. At that thought, she was glad that the kid didn't power up to that stage and knock her lights out.
"If you think that this is this is powerful, then you haven't seen anything yet," the device in the middle of the Alter hand that held the powerful jutsu, then activated. The area exploded out of existence and winds picked up to be sucked into the middle of the device, but the next thing came as a surprise. The sphere of blue chakra grew slightly bigger and changed it color to a gold, yellow color," I haven't practiced this move very much, but if I had…well the implications aren't pretty if I had done it on Lee, or his Alter," he then cocked his right hand that held attack back. Kabuto could feel the power in it and knew he wouldn't be able to heal from such power, but the former blond's hold on his hand that held his kunai was in a firm grip," TAKE THIS, SHELL BULLET RASENGAN."
The attack connected to his chest and a spiral of yellow and gold chakra shot out from his chest. The attack caused the area behind him to be partially destroyed and the winds picked up, like as if a typhoon was there. (think a little bit of the 'Wind Scar' from Inuyasha) When the winds died down, Kabuto body fell down from the loosened grip of the crusher Alter user. There in place of his chest was a hole that took most of his body, ensuring that even he could not heal from such an attack. Naruto himself collapsed on the ground on his back, breathing rather hard.
"Okay, list that move under 'Final Resorts'. Ow, my whole my body," after he said that, he powered down completely.
Tsunade rushed over to him and checked to see if he's alright. She let out a sigh of relief seeing that the boy was indeed safe. She was surprised to see him grasp onto her necklace with the state he's in," hey, this necklace 'pant' belongs to 'pant' me now. 'Pant' so give it here you 'pant' old bat," she smirked as he fell unconscious, at that she held up his injured hand and healed it. She then removed her necklace and gently placed it around his neck.
"Lady Tsunade, is he alright?" Lee asked as he looked at his friend and rival.
"Yes, he just needs rest," the lady Sannin said, reassuring the former bushy brow.
Orochimaru who had seen this got a big sadistic smirk on his face,' what power, with that sort of power at my side, Konoha will surely fall,' he then looked at his former teammate," it doesn't look to well for our Naruto does it?" he asked with a sadistic grin.
'That's bad, when he has that grin, it means trouble for whom ever he's talking about,' Jiraiya then turned from his thoughts and looked at the snake bastard," don't you worry about the kid, he has Tsunade, a medical specialist, looking after him."
'It becomes troublesome when he's powered up and awake, so now's my chance to put a 'Curse Seal' on him,' he then jumped from the back of the snake he was on. Jiraiya cursed under his breath and pursued the speeding snake bastard, wanting to stop him from doing anything to his student. But Orochimaru saw this and launched his long tongue and latched it onto his ankle, he then slammed the perverted Sannin into the ground. Upon forming the crater made by Jiraiya, he used it as sort of swing and flew towards the former blond, fangs ready to bite down on his neck. But was stopped by…Lee's Alter puppet.
Lee could feel the pain that was biting down on his neck, but thankfully the intended 'Curse Seal' was wasted, seeing as how only pain was felt but not the affects of the jutsu itself," heh, like I'll let such a dishonorable villain like you take Konoha's greatest hero and protector."
Pissed off by this brat's interference, he released his fangs on the puppet, which made it disintegrate into nothingness, and his tongue that had a hold on Jiraiya. He then pulls out from his mouth a snake that held the very sword that pierced the Third Hokage's chest before he died," insolent brat, DIE," he then swung down his sword, but it did not hit it's intended target.
The person he hit with the sword was none other than Tsunade," Tsunade, I had no intention of killing you. That brat got in my way of attaining a great prized, so it's only fair that I punish him. Besides, why even protect them? They have nothing to do with you," he said with that sadistic smirk he usually had on.
"I will…I will definitely protect them!" she said as she was shaking from the pain she felt from the swords blow.
"You're shaking and covered with blood. Why do you, as one of the Sannin, want to protect those gennin with your life?" still having the sadistic smirk plastered on his face, enjoying the pain she is going through.
She couldn't answer for awhile as she coughed up blood, but when she was done, she gave a real hard death glare to the snake Sannin," to protect Konoha," she said simply.
"Protect Konoha?" he asked, a little confused but not as much.
She then looked back at the former blond and smiled," Why? You want to know why? This little kid is going to be the Future."
"And I will be his bodyguard," Lee stepped in and proudly announce his new dream in life, though he will still aim to be the best tai-jutsu specialist and fight him on a yearly basis.
"Kukuku, what kind of stupid nonsense is that? Hokage is nothing more than shit, only a fool would want to be Hokage," she got a shocked look on her face, she remembered that his words were almost exactly like hers before she met the former blond. She then started to remember what Shizune and Jiraiya had said to her about the Hokages, and Naruto dream to become one.
After remembering all of it, she stood up, still shaking but with determination as well," from this point on, I too…will risk my life!"
He was taken back a bit by this little vow, but gained back his smug exterior just as quickly," if you are so willing to throw your life away for these brats, HURRY UP AND DIE," he then pulled out the sword from his mouth and slashed down on her once again.
Lee tried to help, but the bite from the Sannin actually drained him of his energy. He couldn't do anything to stop her from being cut down by the snake Sannin.
"Now for you little brat," he then walked over to Lee," by the looks of it, if you get a handle on those powers, you will become an interference for me to acquire him, so it's time to die," he then to got ready slashed down on. Lee couldn't do anything to stop him since he didn't have enough strength to summon Zetsuei again.
But when he swung down his sword again, his blade came into contact with the same body. He was shocked that she still was able to move with such wound on her," heh, you're still going to protect these brats?"
"I've told you already, from this point on," she then looked at him from the corner of her eye," I will risk my life!"
He got pissed at her actions," YOU WEAKLING! DIE," he then kicked her away, her body still shaking from the wounds," heh, even if you are able to move, the shaking of your body is not going to stop. With deep wounds like that, you're just destroying yourself. Why would you want to protect these brats at the cost of your life? Why would you want to for the sake of Konoha?" then after a second he was done speaking, the shaking of her body stopped. The next thing that happened was the snake Sannin getting kicked right in the face, he was surprised she was able to stop shaking from those wounds
"The reason why," she said as her head hung low, her body not even flinching in the pain it's going through," I am the Fifth Hokage," she brought her head up and marking were starting to appear on her forehead, starting from the little diamond that was in the middle of her forehead.
"That seal is…" the snake bastard said as he was shocked by this development, he then got back up and stood ready to fight," what are you planning to do now? I have already wounded you. In that condition, you will not be able to fight me properly," he said as he got back his smirk.
She simply scoffed at his comment and formed a single hand seal. Once Shizune saw what she was doing, she was protest on doing the jutsu, but the lady Sannin paid the protest no mind," NINJA ART: GENESIS OF REBIRTH" she glowed an eerie red glow and the markings on her faded off her skin. As those markings faded, the wound she previously had were smoking, indicating that they were healing, fast.
"Kukuku, it seems that I'm not the only one who has been developing new techniques. Exactly what is that jutsu?" Orochimaru asked, covering his shock of how she healed so fast.
"What? I have spent a long time storing up my chakra. I have taken that massive amount of chakra, compressed it, and sealed it. Now I'm using it to accelerate the healing of my wounds. Not only is it fast, but it is able to heal every organ, and not just healing, but also regenerating…it's the ultimate jutsu, which means in a battle, I will never die," she then took the blood from her lips with her them and spread it on her left forearm.
Orochimaru saw and improvise his own summoning, he used the snake he summons in his mouth and had it drip his blood and smear on his left forearm.
Jiraiya also saw this and opted to help his female teammate, by summoning himself, hoping that the effects of the drug she put on him wore off.
They slammed down their palms, or snakemouth for Orochimaru," SUMMONING JUTSU," they all yelled out. When the smoke cleared that was caused by the summoning jutsu, there stood a giant toad, a giant snake, and a giant slug. (eww, I tell ya, I ain't mopping up the slime it leaves behind) On the frog stood Jiraiya, the snake had Orochimaru, and the slug had Tsunade, Lee, and Naruto.
"What is this Orochimaru? Planning a reunion or something?" the giant toad, known as Gamabunta, asked as he took a puff from his smoke pipe," are you going to start some kind of fight Jiraiya?"
"Idiot, it's been a long time since I last called you, so what are you talking about? So yeah, I guess it's time to settle the score," the old pervert then hardened his gaze on the snake bastard," Orochimaru, today you will be defeated!"
"Hey Orochimaru, don't call me to such a troublesome place," the snake Sannin didn't answer his snake boss summon, which served to make it a little angery," you bastard, did you not hear me?! 'Sigh' look here Orochimaru, for the sacrifice, make sure your prepare one hundred people."
"Lee," he then looked at her and the next thing he knew, he was knocked out. (Look I'm not going to write about the whole summon animal fight scene. It'd be just a waste of time. if you want to know what happened, check youtube or the mangas, the battle went the same as it did.)
The next day they both woke up with headaches on their head. They saw each other and gave each other thumbs up for being alive. Not a second later after trying to leave the room, the girls came in, giving them a look that could melt their heads.
"Hehehe, what's matter girls?" the girls then gave an evil grin to them and cracked their knuckles, making the boys sweat bullets and wonder if this is how they will actually die.
"Lee," the former bushy brow then shakily turned to his friend with a scared look on his face," I was nice to know you man," Naruto said with a shaky voice and Lee just gave his own shaky nod.
Many scream and sound of beating later, the three girls were treating the wounds they made on Naruto and Lee was being tooken care of by Scheris," you really scared us back there Naruto," Hinata said.
The former blond sighed and looked at her," I'm sorry, but you have to understand that the situation called for us to be there and that we had no time to wake you girls up, plus," he then hung his head down and spoke in a saddened voice," I don't know how I would be able to handle if any you three died."
The three hung their heads at this, what he said held merit and they knew they had no chance against a Sannin, or whoever he had brought with him," but you know why I was able to come back alive," the former blond said, he then brought his head up and gave a warm smile to them all," its because you all were here, waiting for me. You all are the reason that I was abele to come back, because you are the ones I love…equally," he looked at each of them individually," so if I have to choose between you girls, my answer is that I can't, so that's that.
They all looked at each other and giggled, which made him cock his head in confusion," what's so funny? What?" he asked as he looked at all of them.
"Well, what you said is what we had already discussed over before you woke up and we decided," the sand kunoichi was about to finish, but then she did the next thing that shocked him…she kissed him full on the lips. Not just any kiss, those really passionate french kisses," to share you," she finished after she was done.
He was stunned, it felt real good to kiss like that, considering that it was his first," so, how was he?" Kanami asked, with a hint a mischief in her eyes.
"He was good, but he could still use practice," Temari said as she licked her lips.
"Well, he'll have plenty of that with us," he was shocked that Hinata had said that, he was also just as shocked when she did the same thing. But her was not as rough and kinky as Temari's kiss, Hinata was soft and slow which felt just as good.
After she was done, Kanami leapt in at him and did the same action. Hers was a kind of balance between the two you could say. He didn't know if he had actually died and went to heaven. But he knew he wasn't, so he did the next best thing and looked up and mouthed 'thank you god'.
Lee and Scheris just stood there, wide eyed and mouth hung open," whoa, I gotta say Naruto is lucky to have that many girlfriends," that earned Lee a hard punch in the ribs," OW."
"And just what do you mean by that?" Scheris asked as she had a cute pout and puffed cheeks like they were inflated.
"Hey, I'm not saying anything, besides," he then gave her a warm hug and did some lip lock action with her. She was shocked by the action, but complied by going with the flow if it. When they were done, she had a big smile," I have you and that's enough for me."
"Aaawww, ain't this cute," they turned they heads to the door to see Tsunade leaning against the wall, near the door way with a big smirk on her face," I didn't know that this was the cupid's hotel, I must have gotten into the wrong building."
"Yea, yea, what do you want?" Naruto asked as he was broken from his little friendly time with his girls.
"Come on everyone, we're going out to eat," said Jiraiya as he stepped into the view from the doorway. They all looked at each other and just shrugged, not caring since it'll mean free food for them.
"Hey Naruto," the former blond then turned his head toward the lady Sannin," here, this is yours," she then tossed him his wallet, but something was different. He got vein popping out of his head when he noticed what it was and he looked at the old lady as she looked kinda nervous.
"YOU USED ALL MY MONEY, YOU OLD BAT," he yelled out as showed his flat looking frog wallet.
"Look, I'll pay you back when we get back to Konoha. So don't sweat the details kid," she then started to walk past him and out the door, leaving him fuming," hey, are you coming or not?" at that he snapped his head to her.
"Yea, yea, I'm coming," he then went to follow the old woman to the restaurant. He then stopped for a bit and looked out the window. He felt happy that his life turned out the way it did and felt that things will only continue to get better. Oh how wrong our Alter user is when he gets back to Konoha.
A/N: hey guyz, thanks for so many reviews. Anyways, asking you guyz for a bit of advice, should I have Naruto fight Sasuke like in the manga and series, or should I have him fight someone else that may be from S-Cry-Ed (COUGHcugarCOUGH). Sorry, something in the air, anyway, I hope you guyz don't think it was too sudden that I had them all hook up so soon, if so, sorry. Well now that's done, see ya.
