Chapter 5
I think I didn't make myself quite clear when I first introduced the Nidaime Tsuchikage. I meant there are two Tsuchikages at the same time. One in the Hidden Rock Village (The First) and the One in Konoha (The Second). Sorted?
------------------------------------------------
Tsunade was crouched over Naruto's limp frame as he breathed slightly. The white walls of the hospital reminded her of the old days when she simply healed ninja who were injured on a mission. Now she was healing the saviour of Konoha twice over.
"We are here Tsunade" came a voice from the doorway as Shizune, Sakura, Ino, Tenten and Hinata all walked in.
"Good, Naruto is still unstable," said Tsunade as she applied another seal to him so he was almost mummified
Sakura let out a small 'no' as she saw that his arm had been completely destroyed from the shoulder down.
"I understand that you don't like missing limbs but we now have a dangerous decision. We can heal him now but it will be unlikely that he ever regains his full strength, or we can try something new that was brought in from some Shanghai-Nin. The new option is a sort of destroying and creating on a molecular level. All of you have excellent chakra control so I needed you. If the vote in unanimous, we will make him a new arm from the armor that he brought. If not, he will not live as ninja but will be safe," declared Tsunade to a group of shocked women
"But how?" asked Ino "We don't know how"
"We don't need to. Naruto's Kekkai Genkai can re-atomise matter, that can do the work sub-consciously. I just need a 5-point triagram seal to activate to it because of the obvious power in it. To compare, the Sharingan needs 3 people if fully developed and the Byakugan needs 2 people. That's why it needs to be unanimous. Tenten can be excluded from this but we need her in case any remaining Rock Ninja try to disrupt the surgery. She can fight at long range better than most people in the village" Said Tsunade grimly
"I vote give him the arm." Said Ino "He saved us so he deserves to do what he loves and Naruto always loved proving he was better than us. He will never be better than us without his arm."
"I don't know Ino, he did kill the Tsuchikage with one arm." Said Tsunade
"So he did it!" piped up Hinata
"Yeah, he did, and he had his summons take care of a lot of the remaining Rock-Nin. Shizune, your opinion please?"
"I say yes, let him fight," said Shizune
"Sakura?"
"I couldn't refuse him it"
"And finally, Hinata?"
"Um…well…I want Naruto to have the best he can, I vote yes."
"Ok, that's our decision. Please take a piece of the armor and melt it down to a solid block with a fire jutsu" said Tsunade as she melted down a piece of leg armor.
"Ok Tsunade-Sama" said the group as they all picked up the metal and started to melt it to make it into a form that Naruto's body could comprehend.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 hours later and they were just finishing arranging the melted armor into the right order.
"Are we ready ladies?" asked Tsunade as she looked at the seal circle she had drawn on the floor while the others melted armor. The intricate patterns of the circle were a challenge to draw seeing as even one dodgy line could ruin the entire circle.
"Not quite, we're missing about 500g of metal." Said Sakura after using her strength to gauge the weight of the metal against Shizune's arm
"Where can we get 500g of metal now…" trailed off Tsunade as she saw his holster at his waist
"Tsunade, what are you thinking?" said Ino looking at her knowingly
"The sword hilt only weighs 500g" said Tsunade "And can you think of any other metal around here that is the same type as the armor. It's a very rare compound, I'm impressed the Naruto could smith it."
"Fine, align it with the rest, try to get it on the forearm" said Shizune as she took her place on one of the triagram 'arms'. The rest of the women took their places on the arms after Tsunade had placed Naruto and the metal in the centre.
"Ready people, this is a first so do your best and we'll have to see" said Tsunade "And…. FLOW!"
As she said the last word, all present let their chakra flow into the circle below them. The blue chakra leaked into the design as it made the entire design glow. The chakra made its way to Naruto who slowly opened his eyes in his unconsciousness and saw that he had his Kekkai Genkai activated.
"Keep it going everyone, the seal has worked, now we just have to hold on until the arm is fully formed" said Tsunade as she saw a thin layer of metal being attached to his shoulder skin.
'We'll save you Naruto-Kun' thought Hinata
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside in Konoha
The Kitsune Kohai had brought all the bodies of the rock bodies into the centre of Konoha. The pile was huge as Nanaki, Hachiyuko and Kyuudoni brought yet more in. Shino was using his bugs as a flying platform to assess the damage while Chouji was using his Meat Tank to flatten the little rubble that had occurred from the fighting. Sasuke was using his Chidori to supply power to hospital and Neji was using his Byakugan to search for traps and wreckage. Shikamaru was just sitting under a tree sleeping until occasionally Chouji would roll past and wake him up. Rock Lee was going around preaching about the springtime of youth in all its glory. This pissed of most of the Jounin except for Gai who actually joined in and started running around with Lee as they campaigned saying it would "Help people feel better". Naruto's students were all helping repair the city as they used their skills to make the menial jobs that little bit easier such as chopping accurate pieces of wood.
"I think that's all of them," said Kyuudoni as he lay on his back with his 9 tails covering his essentials.
"Can we eat them now?" asked Ichiban
"Fine, just don't get too messy" said Rokuna as the smallest 3 foxes dived into the pile of bodies making some of the bystanders vomit in disgust as a pair of kidneys flew past someone's face.
"That is disgusting, fox," said Kamia
"Its food. I wouldn't eat vegetables if you begged me but you eat them all the time." Said Nijo
"You really are sick," said Alousha as Sanigo popped up and had two small balls of flesh attached to a string of tendon in his mouth
"These are the best part." Said Sanigo as he flicked them into his mouth and swallowed "Hmm…salty"
This made even Anko shudder as she sat quietly watching the foxes from in a tree.
"Where's my babe when you need her most" said Anko quietly
"Behind you" came a voice
"Its been soooooo long since we had a good time Kurenai" said Anko as she wrapped her arm around Kurenai
"I know, all those Rock-Nin think of nothing but their dicks" said Kurenai
"How about we have a little fun later?" asked Anko
"Hmm…I have a better idea." Said Kurenai as she whispered a few things into Anko's ear.
"Oh you are evil. I think that'll be a nice reward for them" said Anko "Should we include the girls in the activities?"
"Maybe…." Said Kurenai with a grin on
"Lets prepare." Said Anko "Good job all our buildings are still there. They just inhabited them"
Anko and Kurenai jumped out of the tree leaving the group of foxes to eat corpses.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Naruto's mind
The room was a dark green and a smell of blood and death lingered in the air.
Naruto lay on the floor breathing heavily as he saw a dark form appear overhead.
"Hey Kyuubi. What happened?"
"You dumbass, you nearly died. Thank your lucky kami that you had the unlocked Raijin Sword."
"ITS IKAZUCHI YOU KYUUBI SHITHEAD!" came a voice from near the ceiling
A large phoenix came gliding down from the ceiling and it perched itself on Kyuubi's head.
"And you let him get away with this?" asked Naruto
"Don't ask, it was a bet about which one did the most impressive display while we still free. I did the Konoha Destruction and Ikazuchi made the ball lightning storm. Its destruction was about 10 times worse than the bloody plains massacre. So now I am his servant for a millennium."
"Now go lie down Jeeves, I want to talk to Naruto alone." Said Ikazuchi making Kyuubi grumble and walk off to another part of the colossal room where Naruto heard a loud crash as Kyuubi laid down.
"Now Naruto, good news and bad news. Good news, you beat the Tsuchikage. Bad news, you lost your arm." Said Ikazuchi settling on the floor
"So what's going on outside?" asked Naruto
"I'll let you find that out for yourself. You'll make up in about 10 minutes. That's actually about 3 weeks of your time so I think your body will be fully healed"
"What about my arm?" asked Naruto
"You'll see" said the phoenix as he flew off leaving Naruto on the floor and wondering about what he said.
10 minutes later, Naruto felt a sudden urge as if a vacuum was sucking him up from the inside out. Kind of like liposuction gone bad. A few seconds later he blacked out and was greeted by a sudden blast of sunlight.
"HE'S AWAKE!" came a screech that made Naruto put his head under the pillow
"Calm down Ino, I think you busted his eardrum." Said another voice
"Sakura-Chan….." said Naruto weakly as he sat up and looked around. He was in a pure white hospital room with several people he recognised around him. Sakura, Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Shizune and Tsunade were all sat beside his bed with tears in some of their eyes.
"We thought we lost you at one point, you flat-lined" said Ino
"What happened after I fell unconscious?" asked Naruto rubbing his eyes. "Damn that feels weird"
The women looked at each other awkwardly as Naruto shot questioning looks at them. He leaned back and crossed his arms waiting for an answer when it hit him like a ton of bricks. ARMS?!?!?!
Naruto looked to his right and saw a form underneath a layer of bandages so thick that they looked like concrete.
"Ok, what the fuck happened to me?" asked Naruto with frustration
"Umm…Naruto-Kun, we rebuilt you" said Hinata blushing
"Rebuilt…how…?" said Naruto moving the arm around slightly.
"Take your bandages off and look gaki, bit obvious isn't it" said Tsunade
Naruto shot her a piercing look and slowly unwrapped the bandages. He finally took off the last bandage and stared at what had happened to him. His entire arm and a small portion of his chest had been covered by metal. He looked at the craftsmanship on it and saw that it wasn't just a piece of metal in the shape of an arm. It had a fair sized compartment where he could put a few kunai or shuriken and had joints where all his tendons and muscles would be. The arm itself was a shiny steel with an ancient leaf ninja design engraved into it. The finishing touch was his name engraved onto the inside of the arm.
"Holy shit, how did you do this?" asked Naruto
"Your Kekkai Genkai did it, we just activated it." Said Ino
"Yeah, this design is the Kazama family design, it made itself." Said Tenten
"It's amazing, where did you get the materials from? I can tell it's a hard to make alloy just by the feel of it." Asked Naruto
This made the women get sheepish grins on them, which instantly made Naruto nervous.
"Ok, what did you take from me to make the armor?" said Naruto obviously un-amused
"Well, we used your samurai armor and the Raijin Sword" said Tsunade, which turned Naruto into a steaming lunatic at the fact he had lost the only thing that, reminded him of his old teams.
"YOU WHAT!" yelled Naruto
"Oh shut up kid" came a voice that scared everyone present except Naruto.
"How are you still here Ika? I thought they melted you into my arm."
"Big deal, just think about the Raijin Sword hard" said Ikazuchi
"Why?"
"Just do it but don't do it with anyone near your arm" said Ikazuchi as the voice let out a hollow gale as it stopped meaning he had retreated back into the room.
"Crazy psycho bird" said Naruto as he held his arm out weakly and thought about the Raijin Sword.
Suddenly, a large blade of electricity blasted out from Naruto's forearm and tore the curtains in half. The blade then retracted as Naruto's eyes opened wide and he jumped against the wall, falling over 2 seconds later onto the not very soft mattress.
"Naruto….now you scare me" said Sakura as she picked up the curtains from the floor.
"So what… can I just ask, how is Konoha now? I must have been about a few weeks so things must of changed." Asked Naruto
"Everything's basically back to normal except we need to get rid of these collars" said Shizune pointing to her neck where the collar was still attached.
"Come here Nee-Chan" said Naruto as he sat on the edge of the bed.
Shizune walked over and he suddenly lunged out faster than she could see and grabbed the collar. He brought her closer and took a look at the seals on the collar.
"So simple yet so effective" said Naruto "I can unseal it easily, just make sure you stay still. At least I can try out this new arm properly"
Naruto made a few two handed seals that everyone present didn't recognise and his hand started glowing. He touched the collar and the seals on it glowed and the collar simply hardened so it was tight and choking Shizune.
"Nee-Chan!" said Naruto hurriedly as he drew the 'arm blade' and put it gently to the collar so it melted through it. The collar simply fell to the floor with a clatter that brought a nurse running to the room.
"What's going on her……..am I interrupting something?" asked the nurse as she saw Shizune's head on Naruto's lap with other women watching them.
"Nope, nothing strange here. Just freeing some people" said Naruto cheerily as he waved at the nurse with his metal arm making her slightly queasy.
"Umm…how is your arm actually moving. I mean, we didn't input any nerves or chakra veins into it." Asked Sakura
"I don't know" said Naruto
"I know, it's because its chakra armor. It can absorb chakra and because its in the shape of an arm, I think it can move like one. It will be faster when you put more chakra into it." Said Tsunade.
"OK, sorry to break this up but Naruto needs to meet with a trainer to assess his current fitness level" said the nurse who was still by the door.
"Umm… who?" asked Naruto "I want to know who my trainer will be"
"Long time no see Lampshade" came a voice from behind the nurse startling her.
"YAMATO-SENSEI!" yelled Naruto going in for a fast knuckle punch (Putting your fists together as if punching the other fist. I know the English call it 'Respect' but would anyone care to tell me the American word for it? I'm kiwi so I don't know.)
"Watch out Naruto!" yelled Yamato as he dodged the oncoming metal fist as it punched through the wall behind him and Naruto fell out from the fifth floor of the hospital.
"CRAP!" yelled Naruto as he plunged out of the hole and headed towards the ground.
'I hope I can still do this in time' thought Naruto as he held his hand out. A swirl of blue chakra appeared just as he hit the ground and a few of the Jounin around came over to see a bare-chested man sitting in a 6 foot deep crater with a stupid grin plaster on his face.
"Are you OK Naruto?" asked Anko "That was some sick dive, did you mean to do that or did Sakura punch the wall and you fell?"
"I'm OK, but I punched the wall not Sakura" said Naruto looking at the shocked face that Anko made.
"Naruto, there's a 10 foot hole where you punched it"
"Holy…. An now I've got to face the nurse, Tsunade and Yamato." Said Naruto grudgingly as he walked back up the wall.
"Hey Naruto, can you get the Uchiha, that Destiny is unchangeable guy and the lazy ass to come to the Jounin's common room tonight. Don't worry about rank just get them to get there by 9pm." Called Anko up the wall after him
"Ok, I'll try to get Uchiha-Teme but I cant guarantee anything." Called back Naruto
"See you later Naruto." Said Anko "I bet you'll enjoy it" she added quietly
Just then she heard a yell, a scream and a cry of "HIRAISHIN!" as the guests in Naruto's room ran out the hole in the wall and down the wall.
"Typical, he never grows up" said Anko as she ran to the Jounin common room to prepare for tonight.

A/N: Hey guys, a filler today but I have something good lined up for next chapter. I'm taking votes on whether to have a nice LEMON or we can have a sleepover. You choose but I think I know what you'll choose. Men will like this one a lot unless they haven't got an imagination.
