Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
A/N: The vote is done. Sadly, I can't do everyone's idea. But I did the tally and here are the results:
The members of the ANBU will be summoned one at a time, but not in this chapter. This chaper is in the time during the one week.
The pairings will be Naru/Harem, but will include Sakura , plus three other people so it won't seem too over board. The other couples is a surprise.
If harem is not your thing, it is still okay. The harem in this fic, unlike some others wont be the main point. Sorry, but romance comes after action in my book, but both are still there.
This chapter is kinda weird. The first half is real serious, but the second have will be non stop laughing. Have fun!
Konoha's Demon Fox
Chapter Eight: Demon Rituals and Betrayals
Naruto was practicing his chakra control on the small pond that was located in the Uzumaki grounds. Ever since he had absorbed all of Kyu's chakra, he knew that he was giving off excess chakra when it could have been saves. So for the last three days, he spent all of his waking moments training. So far, his chakra control had improved drastically, but he knew that there was much more he could do. There were four days left until he had to meet his new team, and he wanted to impress them.
"Yo, brat!"
Naruto looked over to see Itachi and Kyu standing there. Walking over to them, he smiled, "Hey, guys. What's up?"
Kyu stepped closer, "Kit, it's time that you performed the rituals."
"Rituals?"
Kyu nodded, "We need for you to activate your demonic powers."
Naruto smiled even wider, "Okay, now I'm going to get kick ass skills!"
Itachi chuckled, "But no matter what, I'll still kick your ass."
Kyu went on to explain, "Okay, Naruto. First, we'll go over what every tailed demon has the right to when they first are made." Naruto went to ask a question, but Kyu kept going, "There are two parts. First, you have to copy an already existing bloodline limit. Then, second, you can improve that bloodline limit by adding one thing."
Itachi raised an eyebrow, "You can do that?"
Kyu nodded, "Actually, that's how the Sharingan came to be. A tailed demon long ago was made, and he decided on the Hyuuga bloodline, then improved it by sight and copying techniques with a glance. Thus, the first Sharingan. When he mated with a human woman, the Uchiha clan was born. It's a legend actually that there was only one true bloodline limit to begin with, but over time, the bloodlines varied so much, that the separated into traits that no longer resemble each other."
Naruto and Itachi stood shocked for a moment, but Naruto, being Naruto, couldn't be quiet for long, "So how do I activate this power?"
Kyu smiled, "Well, first, you have to be watching the bloodline limit with extreme focus, and then you channel chakra to the places that it would affect, and say, 'Demonic Rights: Bloodline Copy.' And there you have it. However, you will not be able to use it until you have thought of how to improve it. When you do, then just focus on the bloodline, as well as the improvement you want and how the entire thing will look in the end, then say, 'Demonic Rights: Improvement'."
Itachi smiled, "Think well on what bloodline limit you want to copy. This will be an important part of your power."
Naruto nodded, and was silent for a minute before looking back to Itachi, "Um, can I copy your Sharingan, Itachi?"
Itachi froze for a second, but then calmed, "Sure, go ahead and do it."
Naruto nodded, "But, I don't want the Mangekyou. Can you go to the highest level without the Mangekyou?"
Itachi nodded, and his Sharingan dissolved into the Sharingan with the three commas in each eye, "Okay, the first comma allows you to see through genjutsu and ninjutsu, and slows down motion just a little bit. The second comma allows you to copy ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu, to a certain extent, just by looking at the hand seals and how the chakra moves. The third comma improves the first comma's ability even more by slowing down movement by several seconds, and allows you to copy taijutsu easier and can create small hypnotism. This allow you to make your opponent choose to do a jutsu, but slow them down at the last seal. Got that?"
(A/N: Okay, that may be slightly wrong, but that's what I've been able to gather from the manga, and websites that explain the Sharingan. If that's wrong, then please try to go by this explanation just for this fic. After all, that's why they call it fiction. J )
Naruto nodded and looked at Itachi's Sharingan. With it in mind, Naruto channeled chakra into his eyes, and yelled out, "Demonic Rights: Bloodline Copy!"
Naruto eyes stung for a few moments, before the feeling faded. Kyu stepped up to him, "Okay, now you have the Sharingan, but remember, you can't use it until you improve it, okay?"
Naruto nodded, "Thanks, guys. I'll be back later to show you my super cool bloodline limit!"
Itachi and Kyu nodded as Naruto walked off, back onto the pond.
---
Later that night, Naruto returned to his house to find Arashi, Kyu, and Itachi sitting in the living room, "Hey! I did it! Check out my bad ass bloodline limit! Jidougan!"
'Automatic eye?' they all thought as they watched as Naruto's eyes remained the same red with slitted pupils, but two commas appeared on either side of the slit in both eyes. In the end, they were his regular eyes with four commas in each eye.
Itachi looked at him closely, "Well, I'm guessing that the first three commas are the same as the Sharingan, but what does the fourth comma do? And why is it called Automatic eye?"
Naruto smirked, "I'll show you! Someone, do a jutsu."
Arashi made the seals for a mud clone, and the mud clone appeared. Naruto smiled and suddenly a mud clone of himself appeared beside him. The others were about to ask about it, but Naruto explained, "The reason I call it Jidougan is because the fourth comma give me the ability to use jutsu without hand seals since the comma directs the chakra for me. It gives me the advantage during a battle in three ways. First, I can do the jutsu faster than someone who has to use hand seals. Second, no one can predict what jutsu I'm doing without my hand seals giving it away. And lastly, no one can copy my jutsu because there are no seals to copy."
The other three stared at him in shock. Hand seals are what made jutsu what they were. Someone who didn't have to do the seals would have more than just three advantages. There were many more than that. Arashi was the most surprised. All his life, he had been the one to try to invent jutsus that used no hand seals, like his Rasengan and the Shunshin, but that was nothing compared to this. The Jidougan was possibly the strongest bloodline limit out there if the user were to be able to master it. And it was born into HIS clan. A great amount of pride welled up inside him. His son was going to be great.
Arashi let out a yell of happiness, "Take that, Hyuuga Hiashi!"
Naruto, along with Kyu and Itachi sweatdropped at the sight. Once he was done, Arashi looked at Naruto, "I'm going to the Hokage right now. She needs to know about this."
Naruto nodded and Arashi left.
---
Tsunade was just finishing up the day's paperwork whenever her office door was burst open. Glaring at the person, she realized that it was Arashi, "What do you want?"
The male blonde could barely contain his joy, "The Jidougan!"
The hokage looked at him with a raised brow, "Automatic Eye? What is it?"
Arashi smiled, "Naruto invented a bloodline limit based off the Sharingan. His new powers gave him the ability to copy a bloodline, and make a single change to it."
That made Tsunade sit up, "He invented a bloodline limit from the Sharingan? What does it do?"
The man laughed, "Everything that the Sharingan does, plus more! It appears as his red slit eyes, with four commas in each eye. Like the Sharingan's first three commas, it allows the user to copy nin, gen, and taijutsu, see through ninjutsu and genjutsu, and predict movement. However, the last comma that Naruto made is what make the Jidougan set the Sharingan, Byakuugan, and all other bloodline limits to shame!"
Tsunade was at the edge of her chair. If there was a new bloodline limit born to Konoha that was the strongest out of all others, then she wanted to know about it, "Hurry up, Arashi! What does it do?"
Arashi smirked, "It allows him to do jutsu without hand seals."
Tsunade face faulted, "That's it? There's a number of jutsu that can be done without hand seals. You know a few of them."
Arashi let out a laugh, "But ANY jutsu? You're not understanding it. He can do any jutsu, no matter how many seals there are, in a second! Also, no one can predict when he's doing a jutsu, or copy his jutsu. Held captive? Arms cut off? It doesn't matter! He can still do it. Plus, add that to the Sharingan's abilities."
Tsunade finally let it all sink in. With the amount of chakra that Naruto seemed to have, there was no chance of needing to turn it off during a battle either. But there were also dangers, "Arashi, this will make him a big target, you know that, right? Someone may try to steal his eyes."
Arashi frowned, but nodded, "Kyu thought of that even before Naruto had the Jidougan. He working on a way to give the kid an automatic defense, like Gaara of the Sand, but to where he can choose for it not to protect him at certain times, like when there's no hostility in the person trying to touch him. Kyu said it would be hard, and there would be a lot of seals needed, but he would be able to have it ready by the end of the week."
Tsunade breathed out a sigh of relief, "That's good." After a moment, a mischievous grin came to her face, "You know, Konoha could profit from this if there were more of his clan around."
Arashi blinked, then grinned, too, "The thought just occurred to me that Naruto seems rather tense. A good girlfriend would help him relax, I bet."
"Yes, but with his stamina, he could….tire out just any girl. She would have to be special."
Arashi's grin went full-blown, "What if…no, no, that would never work out."
"Oh, Arashi, please share your idea. It's for the benefit of your son, after all," Tsunade added with added enthusiasm.
"Well," Arashi said overdramatically, "What if there was a way for his stamina to be divided up between, let's say, five or six?"
"All joking aside, Arashi, would he ever consider the idea of that? I'm not kidding when I say that his clan needs to grow larger, but really, a harem? From what I've heard, there's no way that he do that."
Arashi sighed, "True, but maybe if he started with one girlfriend, and we soften him up, then maybe. A big maybe."
"How could we soften him up?"
Arashi smirked again, "Well, I have a friend, who could help. A big perverted friend who basically writes instructions for these kinds of things."
Tsunade gave him a questioning look, before her eye went wide, "Ooh!"
---
Back at his house, Naruto sneezed as he laid down to go to sleep, 'Someone is talking about me, and I don't think it's the normal kind of talk.'
----
About the same time that Tsunade and Arashi were talking about a harem, throughout the village, multiple people sneeze, but thought nothing of it. Sneezing was perfectly normal, right?
----
The next day, Naruto woke up and looked around his room, as he always did. It was, obviously, a habit of shinobi to do such things. Feeling that something was off, Naruto took another glance around. Then, his eyes went wide.
Sitting, innocently as they could be, on his bedside table were seven little orange objects that Naruto hated with a passion. He would have thrown them away, but something compelled Naruto to read them, for they were books. Books that Kakashi read, and Jiraiya wrote. Opening the first book hesitantly, Naruto began reading.
If only Naruto had his Jidougan active, he would have noticed that what 'compelled' him to read the books were several, well-hidden genjutsus that would have made Kurenai highly impressed. Especially since the genjutsus were being cast by four people. Arashi and Tsunade, one who was a hokage and the other who IS a hokage. And then there was Jiraiya and Kyu, who both had been around and learned much.
As Naruto read the books, the other four were grinning heavily, for this was only the first of four steps of the operation. Steps two through four would be carried out by one other person. That Mangekyou wielding person who have never have betrayed his friend like what he was going to do in a few hours, but every human had their weakness. Unfortunately, the four knew his weakness and used it harshly, when they bribed him with a huge box full of his favorite thing in the world. Pocky.
Itachi did his best to shove off the guilt for what he had to do. He was only human, he reasoned.
---
Two hours, and seven read books, later, Naruto entered the kitchen where everyone else who lived there, plus one Hokage, were sitting innocently. A little too innocently, Naruto thought, as he glared at them. A darkened blush stained his cheeks. As he was about to ask them what the hell their deal was, Itachi rose from his seat and walked over to him.
Looking at his feet, Itachi spoke, "Naruto, I'm sorry. Truly, but you should know, they're forcing me to do this through their own sick and twisted means. Forgive me."
Naruto was about to ask Itachi was talking about, but Itachi looked him in the eyes, Mangekyou active. Itachi whispered, "Tsukuyomi."
Right before Naruto froze, he said one word.
"Dammit."
Naruto looked around. He could tell he was trapped in the most powerful genjutsu known to man as he looked up and saw the unnatural moon above. Before him, Itachi appeared.
Naruto growled, "What the hell, man! I thought we were cool!"
Itachi sighed, "I'm sorry Naruto. Those other bastards are making me do this through ways below the belt. I have to do what the say. Hokage's orders."
Naruto sighed, "Fine. Hurry up with it."
Itachi gave his friend a look of sympathy, for now he was going to administer step two of the other's plan, "For the next twenty-four hours, you will have the Icha Icha Paradise complete set contents flash before you over and over again where you have to watch."
Instantly, large books appeared and as Naruto was forced to read them again and again, a furious blush stained his cheeks. After what seemed like years, the twenty-four hours were up, and Itachi was back.
"You holding up okay, Naruto?" Itachi asked.
With the words imprinted in his mind, Naruto glared, "You think this can beat me! When I get out of here, I'm going to kick all of their asses!"
Itachi smiled, "Good to see you're holding up okay. Just keep it up, and you'll do fine. Only two more parts left."
Naruto nodded, "Thanks."
Itachi began again. This was step three, "For the next twenty-four hours, You will listen as the words of the complete set of Icha Icha Paradise books are read aloud over and over again with the erotic scenes told in a seductive voice."
Naruto eyes went wide as a very sexy voice whispered the words into his ears. He could swear that the voice was over acting the moans of the women in the book. After twenty-four hours had gone by, Itachi came forth once again.
Itachi looked at Naruto with worry, "How you holding up?"
Naruto blushed, "Those SADISTIC BASTARDS! No more, PLEASE! Overboard naughtiness! I don't want to be JIRAIYA!"
Itachi shook his head. Naruto definitely wasn't going to be the same ever again, "Just one more. Be tough."
Naruto weakly nodded.
The Uchiha continued with the fourth and final step, "For the next twenty-four hours, you will have to bear witness to the entire Icha Icha Paradise books acted out by the characters over and over again."
Naruto watched in horror as the scenes that were burned into his mind already were suddenly brought to life exactly how he had imagined them. Every so often, the blonde gave out a perverted laugh or had a nosebleed. Not soon enough, the time was up and Naruto was back in the real world.
The others watched as Naruto shuddered for a second and a blush stained his cheeks heavily. Then he glared holes into their bodies. They thought that was all he was going to do, until the Jidougan burst into existence.
As Naruto slowly made his way to the table, Arashi yelped, "Itachi, stop him!"
Naruto paused for a second and looked at the Uchiha, as if daring him to try something. Itachi looked at him for a second, then at the people sitting at the table. Smirking slightly, Itachi faced Naruto, then stepped off to the side, allowing Naruto to pass.
Naruto grinned as he stepped up behind his father, Kyu, and Jiraiya, "Come on, you three. We have to go spar. And since the Hokage can't take part in the tort…I mean, training, you three will have to split her part amongst yourselves."
Jiraiya shook his head furiously, "No, no, no. It's okay, really. I feel really strong!"
The other two victims, pardon me, close friends tried to make similar excuses, but they fell on deaf ears as they were dragged into the training grounds outside.
Itachi and Tsunade sat quietly at the table, doing nothing as they listened to the girlish screams that rang through the air for what seemed like hours. The two cringed the they heard three pops and guessed that Naruto had made three shadow clones.
The Uchiha and hokage quickly went to the door to find a Naruto each behind Jiraiya, Arashi, and Kyu. Another Naruto, which the two had figured was the real one stood twenty feet in front of them with his arms folded across his chest, "Okay, after this the training is done. This is a move that I learned from Kakashi the first time I met him."
The three victims gulped as they heard the clones step up behind them and yell out, "A THOUSAND YEARS OF PAIN!"
Two seconds later, Itachi and Tsunade would have thought the three men were flying around and having the time of their life, if it wasn't for the sound that emitted from their mouths.
"YYYYYEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWW!"
The original Naruto walked back into the house, past the frightened Uchiha and Hokage, with a big smile on his face. The blonde kid walked over to the refrigerator and opened it, "Hmm, what shall I have for breakfast?"

End Chapter. And now, I want to add what I have decided to do for the next few chapters. The Naruto Rants. Which is basically where I point out certain things that irk me about some fan fiction, and they speak about fan fiction in general and will not be aimed at any specific fiction. If you're the type to get offended easily, then don't read past this point.
First Rant: The Itachi/Uchiha Massacre incident
Okay, I have read so many fanfics where the author has said that Itachi didn't really kill his clan, but truly it was Akatsuki or Orochimaru. Which is fine, really, but not when he still has the Mangekyou! Come on! In order to get that sharingan, it clearly states: 'You have to kill your closest friend.' If you're going to have Itachi as a good guy, then Shisui, Itachi's best friend and an UCHIHA, can't die without a very good reason, or else Itachi gets no Mangekyou! And if Itachi is good, then why kill his friend? Or, if Itachi's good, then why kill his friend, but not his family. Make things PLAUSIBLE people. Shisui was an assassin, Itachi killed him. Shisui tripped and fell on Itachi's kunai and died. Hell, Itachi tossing popcorn into Shisui's mouth during movie night, and Shisui choking to death.
Point is: If Itachi didn't kill his clan and is a good guy, then don't leave plotholes like the Mangekyou open without a good excuse.
