CHAPTER 17
It was a cloudy day, and it smelled of rain, it looked like I was going to rain soon as well, the sun was long gone, hidden behind the clouds, casting a large shadow over the forest.
Two figures's jumped from tree to tree. Both were moving at fast speeds, even fast for a ninja. Both figure's stopped suddenly on a tree, looking down at the clearing in front of them, where there was several Sound ninja gathered, along with other Ninja from other village's. Nodding to one another they continued to look down at the ninja.
"This is the Tenraku Hitotsu, I am in position." Said the figure on the right. This figure was dressed in a long brown trench coat with a hood, which was down, and said trench coat was weighted with four hundred pounds of metal, making it not only a training weight, but also armor. The trench cat was unzipped, the sleeves cut off, reveling muscles, but many scares, like he had been tortured at one point or another. He had black baggie cargo pants, chains hanging off both leg's, two lose hanging belt's, which had many pocket's on them, said pockets where filled with Ninja equipment, as well as a normal belt, also filled with Ninja equipment. He wore combat boots, steal toed, as well as fingerless glove's, with metal plaiting on the backs of them, with a marking that stood for 'The Fallen One'.
His hair was in two long ponytails that reached down to the back of his knees. Two large bangs went over his face, which was covered by an ANBU mask. He was about five foot eight inch's tall. But one of the most noticeable features was his ANBU mask.
It was a crimson blood red, the two slit's around its eye's were black, as well as around it's mouth. Its mouth was curved into an insane like grin, and on its forehead was a mark, said mark was the symbol of 'Shadow's'.
"This is Kumori Karite, I am also in position." The second figure said. This figure was also dressed in a very dark fashion. HE had on a black trench coat, with the hood up. He had on black and gray camouflage cargo pants, and an armor plated shirt. He had on fingerless glove's that had the markings for 'The Shadow Reaper'.
He had on an ANBU mask, and blonde hair peeked out from behind said mask. His ANBU mask was also different from normal one's.
It was gray, and looked slightly like a skeleton, his mouth was frowning, his eye's where also narrowed, giving it an evil look, and on its forehead was the marking for 'Shadow's' as well.
"Roger that, Fallen one, Shadow reaper, you are ago. Have fun boy's." A voice said in both of there ears. Turning to each other, both boys nodded, and then disappeared.
Feriner Tigurashi was one of the Sounds best Ninja. He did not scare easily, but seeing two of the most wanted Ninja suddenly appear right in front of you, letting of a wave of immense Killer intent, was enough to scare just about anybody. Taking a step back, he suddenly got his sense's back, and stood up straight. He was about to order the attack, when the Ninja spoke to each other.
"Shall we?" Said the shorter one, looking to the right.
"We shall." Replied the taller one, looking to the left. Both ninja took the swords off their backs, slammed them into the ground, and started doing hand seal's. The hand seal's where exactly the same, except for the last one, and when they where finished, they both turned around, the shorter one ducking down, and pointing behind the taller one, before both yelled at the same time.
"Black Fox Fire: Demonic Dragon Blast!" Screamed the shorter one, shooting a large black fire dragon out of his mouth.
"Black Dog Fire: Demonic Dragon Shot!" screamed the taller one, shooting a slightly smaller black dragon out of his mouth.
Both dragons' hit Ninja, plowing them down, till eventually both dragons ran out of Chakra. Ninja looked at the two Boys', who had now picked back up their swords, and were looking at them. Feriner finally regained his composer, and shouted out an order.
"GET THEM, AND KILL THEM!!" The response was for all ninja to pull any weapons they had, and charge. The smaller boy smiled, and looked at his opponents, before speaking again.
"Lets Party."
"Yes, Let's." The taller boy said. The smaller boy suddenly disappeared and re-appeared behind several Ninja, cutting them in half in an instant, before charging back at the taller ninja. Said ninja looked at his friend, and smiled. The smaller boy jumped, as the taller boy ducked, and both slashed out, smaller boy's slash went over the taller head, killing the ninja behind his friend, the taller doing the same to the ninja behind his friend. Both ninja got into stances, and got back to back, looking at they're opponents, before speaking again.
"Having fun, huh Silent?" Said the smaller one, using his name, as he knew none of the enemy would escape alive. Silent chuckled before replying.
"Ton's of fun, Naruto." Silent replied his friend. Naruto laughed, then got back into the fight. Running forward, he jumped up, watching a ninja stab under him with a katana. Naruto landed on the katana, and slashed off the Ninja's head, before back filliping, landing in front of Silent's unprotected back. Flipping his swords under his shoulders, he sent a stab back, impaling two Ninja on his swords, before pulling his swords out.
Silent grinned, ducking under a sword slash, tripping the Ninja who attacked him, and stabbing him as he fell. Using his sword hilt as a pole, he spun on it, kicking a ninja in the face, and pulling his sword out of the ground, stabbing the ninja on the ground. Seeing another ninja slash downward at him, He blocked it with one sword, and slashed said ninja with his other sword.
Naruto kicked a ninja in the face, spinning and cutting him down, and turning to face a ninja in front of him, as well as one behind him, both charging him. Running at the one in front of him, he charged, and ran up his chest, before stabbing him in the neck. Jumping up, He landed on the hilt of his still impaled sword, and back flipped to behind the other Ninja, and killing him with a forward thrust. Turning to face another group of ninja, he was surprised to see them all just standing there, and even more surprised to see them all fall to the ground, dead. Turning to look at Silent, he sent him a questioning look, to which he received a shrug of his shoulders. There confusion was ended when they heard a voice come from the forest, a voice they knew, the voice of Itachi.
"Well well well, the little blonde has grown up. This certainly make's things more difficult. Right Kisame?" Itachi said, him and his partner emerging from the forest. Both boys's tensed up, knowing this would be a hell of a fight. Looking between the two, Naruto sensed something in Itachi, something bad.
"Shit, Silent, we might be in trouble. Itachi, from what I can sense, he hold's a higher-level demon, not a greater one, but a strong one nonetheless. Damn, this puts him at about my one-fourth level. That may be good but that is not enough." Naruto said, never breaking his gaze on Itachi, who was still looking at him.
"We know that, so we have help." Itachi said, and as he said this, two more figures emerged from the forest, three that made Naruto and Silent tense up. One was someone who should be dead, twice now, and even then, he was barely recognizable. It was, one again, Zabuza. He stood there, grinning, holding his sword over his shoulder. But it was the other one that scared the boy's so much. It was Leader, and it was not who they had expected.
Leader was a boy, who was about 14 or 15 years old. On his back, was a pair of Katana's. He was dressed in the same clothing as the entire group where dressed in. Looking at the two boys', he took out his two Katana's.
"Kisame, Zabuza, you take the boy called Silent. Itachi, you and I will take Naruto." Leader said. Every body got ready for a fight, every body drawing their weapons.
"Hai!" Every member of Akatsuki said, getting ready. The wind blew, and suddenly Kisame and Zabuza were not there. Naruto's eye's widened, and he turned to Silent, seeing silent just barely block the attacks. Silent looked at his friend, before nodding, a signal that he would be fine. Naruto nodded back at him, and turned to the other two. Reaching up, Naruto took off his ANBU mask, before reaching up, and unhooking his trench coat, and throwing it to the side, a huge dust cloud rising as it hit the ground.
"Now shall we?" Naruto asked, swinging his swords. The two S-Class Ninja looked at each other, before looking back at Naruto.
"Itachi." Leader said, swinging his Katana's. Itachi nodded.
"Hai." Itachi said, and disappeared. Naruto's eye's widened, and he jumped up, barely jumping over Itachi's sword, landing on the blade, he saw Leader disappeared as well. Naruto's eye's got even bigger, and he back flipped, barley dogging the twin Katana's, going in-between them. Landing, he brought his sword up, blocking a sword strike, and sending a kick into Itachi's side. Itachi jumped back to dodge it, and Leader rushed in, sending a swing at Naruto's side, as well as a downward one as Naruto's shoulder. Naruto slammed his left blade into the ground and brought his other blade up to block both attacks.
Suddenly, Leader dropped down into a crouch, looking straight at Naruto, and kicked the blonde boy in the chin, sending him flying backwards. Both leader and Itachi's eye's widened when Naruto puffed into smoke, turning into a log. Leader sensed something, and rolled to the side, watching the ground explode where Naruto slashed downward at him.
Naruto turned and yanked his other sword out of the ground, before turning back to his two opponents. Itachi suddenly disappeared, and swung at Naruto's head. Naruto bent back onto his hands, and twisted, sending a kick at Itachi's side, hitting the Older Uchiha flying, only to explode into smoke, to reveal a log again.
Naruto, who was still on the ground in a push up position, sensed another strike, so he pushed up as hard as he could, and launched himself into the air, over another strike from Leader. Said Ninja looked up at him, and jumped. Naruto turned his blade, and blocked the Katana swipe, and pushed of said Katana, and landed a few feet away. Getting back up, he looked at his two opponents, who looked back at him. Suddenly, Leader disappeared, appearing next to Naruto, sending a kick at the blonde's face, which said Ninja caught. Using the momentum, Leader twisted up, and sent a katana straight at Naruto, who then puffed into smoke when it connected. Leader's eye's widened at this, and he landed on the ground, and back flipped over and over sword, landing next to Itachi. They then looked over the 15 clones of Naruto's standing there, all holding swords. Then they all disappeared, causing both S-class ninja's eye's to widen in surprise.
Leader blocked an attack to his left, then slashed, killing that clone. Ducking, he felt the wind pass over him from that last attack, but slashed again, destroying another clone. Twisting he got two clone's in one attack, but had to jump over a sword attack by another clone, kicking said clone in the chin after dogging. Landing, he saw no more clones near him, and looking over at Itachi, he saw none attacking him either. Looking up, he saw the blonde boy who they were attacking standing there, like nothing had even happened.
Naruto watched as his clones where destroyed, and when it was all over, he showed him self again. Both enemy Ninja attacked him then, and Naruto ducked dogging one, then slid down, and tripped Itachi with a kick, before pushing himself up, and twisting to the side, dogging another attack from Leader. Turning to face his opponents, Naruto heard a noise behind him, and twisted, dogging a sword strike. Jumping he dogged another attack, landing on the blade, he did a back flip and landed with him and Itachi, back to back. Both Naruto and Itachi saw the opening, and flipped their swords under there shoulder's, and sent them back into each other's flesh.
Naruto felt a searing pain in his shoulder, and looked down to see Itachi's sword through it. Turning around, he was rewarded with the sight of Itachi impaled on his sword. Naruto twisted it, and pulled it trough Itachi's skin, getting a scream of pain from the boy, before yanking it out, sending blood spewing out, and sending Itachi's lifeless body to the floor, still spewing blood. Naruto readied his sword, as he knew he still had one opponent to deal with.
Leader was confused. He knew Naruto was able to access much more power than this, and if the reports where correct, he could make angle wing's sprout from his back… so why had he not yet done so? That was when Leader realized why, he wanted to test himself, wanted to see how much he could do with out that power.
"I see now, why you won't use that power… you wish to see how good you are with out it." Leader said, looking at Naruto, and receiving a grin in reply. Naruto readied his swords, and disappeared again, reappearing behind Leader, slashing an attack at the boy's side, only to see it blocked by a Katana. Naruto swung at Leader's other side, only to be blocked again. Leader then swung his swords, throwing Naruto's swords back, then moving his swords under his shoulders, and sending them back, straight into Naruto's stomach.
SLASH!!!
Naruto looked down, seeing Leader's swords in his stomach, his blood pouring out, mixing with the rain that had just fallen. Naruto looked up, he felt blood coming out his mouth, trickling down his chin. He felt the swords as they where pulled out of his stomach, he felt himself fall onto the ground. He should have used his power, he should not have…
'Brat stop crying, you still have enough power to get up and fight. I am healing your wounds now, so get up!' Kyuubi said into his mind. Naruto felt his wound closing, felt strength return to his body. He struggled up till he stood, and picked up his swords. Looking at the figure of Leader, who was walking away, he spoke.
"Hey!" Naruto said, making Leader stop and turn to look at him. Naruto smiled and kept talking, lifting his blade into a fighting position. The two looked at each other, both at that second, respected the other to an unimaginable degree.
"This is not over yet." Naruto said, standing to his full height again. Leader grinned, and turned around, lifting his own swords, before speaking as well, his voice not in the cold harsh tone like before, this time in a softer more understanding tone.
"No it is not, is see." Leader replied, and then lifted his swords. They where about to begin fighting again, when Silent called out, cutting them off.
"Naruto, I will help you!!" Silent said, running forward, but stopped when Naruto looked at him, and glared, before turning back to Leader.
"No, Silent this is something I must do alone. Stay out." Naruto said, never looking away from his opponent. Silent was about to protest, but stopped when he knew it would not matter.
"One thing before we start, what is your name?" Naruto asked leader, who only chuckled in response, before looking up at the blonde.
"I am known as Crimson, because of the blood I have spilled, but please, call me Leader." The boy said, Naruto nodding in response, before they got ready again.
"Let us get started." Naruto said.
"I agree." Leader said.
Both of them disappeared.
SILENTS FIGHT: SAME TIME AS NARUTO'S FIGHT
Silent launched both swords backwards, and looked at his two opponents, his eye's darting between the two. Suddenly both swordsmen disappeared, Zabuza reappearing, and slashing at Silent's side. Silent jumped over the slash, kicking Zabuza in midair, at the same time, pushing off the Demon of the Mist's body, and back flipping, dogging a slash from Kisame. Looking up, he saw both Ex-Mist Ninja looking at him. Then both charged.
Zabuza sliced at Silent's waist, and Kisame sliced at Silent's head. Silent slammed both his swords into the ground, and pushed up, flipping over their heads, landing behind them, and shoving his swords into both their stomachs. He started to grin, but that grin disappeared as both Kisame and Zabuza melted into water. Silent's eye's widened, and he spun around, then back flipped, just barely dodging Zabuza's sword. Landing his eye's searched for the other ninja, but his search stopped soon as he sensed said Ninja's Chakra behind him. Jumping forward, Silent tried to doge the incoming sword strike, but only succeeded in not getting cleaved in half, only getting skin ripped off his back.
"AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!" Silent screamed out, felling Kisame's sword rip at his skin. Turning, he managed to block the second attack, and jumped back afterwards into a tree, and look at the two sword master's, who were grinning at him. Jumping down, he took off his trench coat, and watched as it fell to the ground in a large cloud of smoke.
"I feel 200 pounds lighter." Silent said, making the two attacking ninja look at each other, grin, then both disappear. Silent ducked as both swords went over his head, then shot up, and kicked both Nin in the face. Twisting around he blocked another attack from Kisame, before sending a kick at the S-class ninja's stomach, making him double over. Turning, he jumped over a sword slash from Zabuza, and slashed downward at the resurrected Sword ninja. Said ninja jumped back, dogging the attack, and slashing downward at Silent. At the same time, Kisame was slashing at Silent's side. Silent saw both attacks' coming, and knew there was no way out of this. So he did the next best thing. Shoving one sword forward, and one back, he impaled both swordsmen, just as there attacks hit. Silent felt Zabuza's cool blade cut into his shoulder, almost cutting off his arm, and Kisame's blade nearly cleave him in half.
All three off them fell to the floor, Kisame dead, a sword impaled in his neck, Zabuza also killed, his heart pierced by Silent's blade. Said boy was not dead, as his Demon was working over time to heal him.
Some time later, Silent awoke; felling raindrops start to fall onto his head, just in time to see Naruto get impaled by leader's blade. Struggling to get up, he watched the two, watched them. Getting up, he ran over to Naruto, getting ready for a fight.
"Naruto I will help you!!" Silent said, but was cut off when Naruto sent him a glare, and soon after spoke.
"No, Silent this is something I must do alone, stay out." Naruto said, never breaking his gaze with leader. Both of them got ready for a fight.
"Let us get started." Naruto said.
"I agree." Leader said.
Both of them disappeared.
BACK TO NARUTO"S FIGHT
Naruto moved forward, ducking under a slash from Leaders Katana, before sending his own upward slash, only to see leader jump backwards dogging the attack. Running forward, he sent a kick at leaders head, said boy ducked under it, and slashed upward at Naruto, and was rewarded with the sound of metal cutting flesh. But he was disappointed when Naruto turned into a log. The log turned, to reveal an explosive tag, making Leader's eye's widen, before he muttered one thing.
"SHIT!!"
Leader jumped away, but still caught some of the blast. Landing hard, he rolled into an upright position, his swords raised up. Sensing something behind him, he turned, raising his sword, and blocked an attack from Naruto. Swinging his free sword, he attempted to cleave the Blonde in half, but missed when Naruto blocked with his free sword.
Naruto jumped back, and charged again, twisting and cutting at the other boy's side, then followed up with a diagonal cut shortly there after, both attacks where blocked. Naruto jumped back, and got ready to attack again, when his opponent beat him to it. Leader ran forward, and slashed at Naruto's stomach. Naruto back flipped over this attack, and as soon as he landed, thrust forward. Leader saw it, and moved to get out of the way, but didn't move fast enough. Naruto's sword pierced his shoulder threw. Ripping it out, Naruto spun, sending another slash at Leaders head, but that slash was blocked. Jumping back, Naruto's eye's widened as Leader disappeared as he was still in mid air, only to reappear where Naruto was going to land. Naruto stuck his swords out, and blocked one of the thrust's Leader sent, but the other one got through, hitting him in his lower left stomach area, impaling him. Naruto hung there, looking at Leader, who was raising his sword to finish the blonde off. Naruto raised his own sword, blocked the strike, before kicking Leader hard in the chest, forcing his opponent to pull his sword out.
Both boy's got up, and looked at each other, unfazed by their injuries. In fact the only way you could tell they were hurt was the bleeding wounds on there bodies. Naruto rushed forward again, and slashed at Leader's head. Leader ducked as he saw it, and slashed at Naruto's midsection. Naruto brought his free blade down to block the strike, and then jumped backwards. Both boys rushed forward, Leader slashed at Naruto with his blade in his left hand, Naruto slashed at Leader with the blade in his right hand. Both of them saw the attack coming, and slammed there other blade deep into the ground to block it, before both of them jumped back.
Both ninja then charge again, thrusting forward, and both were awarded with the sound of metal tearing threw flesh. Then both felt a searing pain in there midsection. Looking down, they found that they had both impaled each other. Pulling their blades out of each other's body, they jumped back, their movements mirroring each other.
Spinning, both ninja slashed, both ninja cut each other across the stomach, before brining their blades up and thrusting at one another's heart. Both moved to the side, both not quick enough, and both were impaled by their shoulders.
Naruto jumped back to his blade, Leader did the same, and they both took their blades from the dirt, and charged each other. Getting closer, Leader ducked and thrust towards Naruto's stomach, and Naruto thrust down at Leader, having seen this move coming. Both attacks were effective.
Naruto stood there, Leader's Katana's sticking through his stomach; Leader was crouched down, Naruto's swords sticking out his chest. Both knew who won, Naruto did. Both wounds were fatal, but Naruto had the more dangerous one. He had hit Leader's heart, and leader was dieing.
Pulling their swords out, both Ninja fell to the ground. Naruto looked at leader, who was gagging on his own blood. Naruto felt the urge to know, know whom he fought.
"What…is…your name?" Naruto asked the boy, blood flowing out of his mouth. Leader looked up at Naruto, before whispering into his ears. Silent could not hear what he said, but Naruto smiled, before he too collapsed onto the ground, His blood mixing with the rain, turning it into a crimson color.
Silent got up, and ran over to his fallen friend, and started to pick him up, when he heard Naruto say something to him. Bending down he struggled to hear what he was saying, so he bent closer to hear what the blond was saying.
"Take his swords, as well as Zabuza's. Leave Kisame's, as that one will only respond to his touch." Naruto said, before he passed out from blood loss. Silent nodded, and got the requested items, and started to hop off. He had to leave some things there, mainly there trench coats, but he could send someone to get them later. Right now he had to get Naruto to Tsunade, he needed help bad. Kyuubi could not help him right now, and if he did not hurry, Naruto would die.
Back in the clearing where Leader had fallen, blood was mixing with the rain, swirling in patterns, and soon a good portion of the area was colored crimson. Leader, with his last strength, took out a kunai, and pulled himself over to a tree, before he carved something. Before he was able to finish it, he fell to the ground, dead.
Looking at the tree, any one who had not seen the battle, would not understand what it read, what it mean's, anyone who had seen or heard of it, would know. The tree read:
'Fighting to live, fighting the pain, fighting the hate, fighting to gain, the respect we want, the respect we need, fighting to protect, but ultimately we die, die in a sea of crimson, for we are just that, born of blood, life of blood, die in blood, for we are…The Crimson Twin's…Naruto and…'
That was all the inscription read, as Leader had died before he could finish it, falling onto the ground, at peace at last. Thus fell the vessel of the eight-tailed snake.
SCEAN CHANGE: SHADOW VILLAGE HOKAGE OFFICE
Tsunade sat in her office, doing paper work, as well as teaching Sakura, who was currently standing beside her, working on something. In truth, Tsunade was quite worried, as she had sent Silent and Naruto out to do something a while ago, but they still had not returned.
"Hey, do you have…" Tsunade heard the voice of her ANBU guards saying, but they were cut off by another voice, one she recognized as Silent.
"SHUT UP!! I NEED TO SEE TSUNADE NOW!!"
"Sir, if you don't settle down I… wait who is…!!"
Both Sakura and Tsunade heard a crash outside, followed by more voices.
"What is going on hear?"
"This guy is…"
"SHUT UP!! IF I DON'T GET HIM TO HER, HE WILL DIE, NOW MOVE!!!!"
Now both girls where on there feet and moving towards the door, but stopped when it was blown clean off the hinge's, to revel a very hurt Silent, and a blood cover Naruto. Suddenly Silent was no longer caring Naruto, as Naruto was on the Tsunade's desk.
"NARUTO!!!" Sakura yelled, and ran over to him, and started to treat him. Tsunade looked at Naruto, then at Silent. Walking over to Silent, She looked at him, before speaking.
"What the hell happened to you guy's!?" She asked.
"…Akatsuki…" Was all Silent said, before he fell to the floor, blood pouring freely out of his wounds. Tsunade panicked a bit, before regaining her cool, and yelling for the med Nin.
"Get them to the hospital ER NOW!!" Tsunade screamed, before slumping down and rubbing her head. This was one hell of a confusing day.
SCEAN CHANGE: 1 AND A HALF DAY"S LATTER
Naruto groaned, sitting up, and immediately sat back down, after felling pain flood his body. Opening his eye's he looked around the room. It was night time, jugging by the star's visible outside his window. Looking around, he saw the figure of Silent in the bed next to him, reading a book.
Silent looked beside him to see Naruto staring back at him. Grinning he closed his book and looked at his blonde friend.
"Hey Naruto, Glad to see your awake. You have been out for a week and a half." Silent said, causing Naruto to sit up, before wincing in pain, and sitting back down. Looking over at silent, he saw him trying to hold in his laughter. Frowning, Naruto looked at him, before speaking again.
"That is weird, I should have healed by now. Kyuubi better not be slacking off." Naruto said, more to himself than anybody else. Silent laughed, before replying.
"Dude he saved your life, if not for him, you would not have woken up at all. Oh and check this out. Apparently, a Ninja did escape from Itachi and us. Check out what we just got in all the Bingo Books but sands and ours." Silent said, Handing Naruto the book in his hands. Naruto opened it up and turned to where they were listed. Going to his and Silent's name, he was slightly shocked to see a picture of them right before the fight. Naruto didn't have on his trench coat or mask. Looking over his skills and info he read aloud.

END OF CARD
Naruto looked at the book in shock, before turning back to Silent.
"They made my sexy jutsu an A-RANK!! DAMN!" Naruto said to Silent, who nodded in reply. Both boy's just sat there in silence for a moment, before Naruto spoke up again.
"Hey when is the Genin exam's?" Naruto asked, turning to Silent, who was getting a drink of water. Silent stopped and thought for a second before speaking.
"In a week I think…"
"Oh…" Naruto said, looking down again. Then it hit both boys' at the same time, and they both said one thing.
"Ahh SHIT!!"
SCEAN CHANGE: ONE WEEK LATER
Naruto was walking towards the academy, wearing everything he wore when he fought Itachi and Leader, except for his ANBU mask and his swords, which he had in a tattoo, summon on his arms, where he was going to check out who his Genin team was going to be. He had gotten released from the hospital earlier that week, and almost had to go back when Sakura had given him a bone crushing hug, then hit him. The team he had been assigned, looked suspiciously like team 7. As a matter of fact, it was a carbon copy of team 7. His three Genin students, where the soon to be rookie of the year, a fan girl of said rookie, and the dobe, dead-last loser. Naruto sighed, as he knew this would be very difficult. The Genin exam's where in a day, and his team was already dicided to be these three.
Naruto closed the file as he approached the academy, where Iruka was teaching. Naruto's old sensei had also left the Leaf after it had ordered Naruto's and Tsunade's, as well as the two ANBU's death. After the academy had been set up, Iruka had immediately signed up for the teaching position, and soon after got it. Now, as Naruto was walking through the halls, towards Irukas room, Naruto could tell his old teacher had not really changed. He could hear Irukas voice from there.
"WILL YOU KIDS SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!!!??" Irukas voice echoed down the halls, making Naruto grin. Stopping at Irukas classroom, he knocked, and soon after was greeted by an angry Iruka, who's face was red, and who wasn't even looking at him.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT??" Iruka yelled, finally looking up at Naruto, who was grinning at Iruka. Irukas face calmed down immediately, and changed from a frown to a smile. Motioning for Naruto to come in, he closed the door behind him, and looked at the class. Said class all had their eyes on the new comer, who was rubbing his neck nervously, his grin never falling. Iruka smiled at his old student, before clearing his throat.
"This class is one of my old students, and one of the people who helped found and build the Shadow, Naruto Uzumaki. He is also currently one of, if not the strongest ninja in the Shadow." Iruka said, making many of the kids look at Naruto in awe, before many erupted in questions.
"No way!"
"But he is just a little older than us!"
"Iruka is older than him!"
Naruto chuckled at this, before looking at the kids again. Looking them over he put his finger to his lips, motioning for them to be quite, and to his surprise, they did. Looking them over, he pointed to there raise hands.
"You." Naruto said, pointing to a girl with red hair.
"I don't believe you are that strong, Iruka-sensei is older than you! How can you be stronger than him, but also younger!?" The girl said, looking at Naruto, who grinned, thinking before answering.
"I trained to become this strong, and age has no meaning in how strong you are. My friend Takair, he is six, yet he is the third strongest Ninja in the village!" Naruto replied, getting yells of shock from the kids. Naruto hushed them again, before pointing out another hand, this time a boy with brown hair.
"How did you become so strong, I want to be that strong when I grow up!" The kid said, receiving laughs from the other kids, several of whom yelled out insults towards the boy's.
"Yea right, you're the dobe!"
"You can't be as strong as him!"
"I know, you are the dead-last, this guy had to be the rookie of the year!"
At this, both Naruto and Iruka burst into laughter. This made everyone stop their comments, and made the boy who asked the question, shrink back, tears forming in his eyes. Naruto stopped laughing, but the smile never left his face. Looking at the boy who asked the question, he suddenly disappeared, only to reaper behind the boy, shocking everyone in the class. Putting his hand on the boy's head, he spoke to him, in a soft voice, but loud enough to be heard by the rest of the class.
"Despite what every one in the class thinks, I was not the rookie of the year, far from it actually." Naruto said, and was going to continue when the class erupted in question's again.
"You weren't? Then what were you?"
"Where you the dead-last?"
"Don't be an idiot, of course he wasn't the dead last. Look at him!"
Naruto silenced them again, before he continued speaking.
"I will not tell you who I was in my class, you will have to ask the kid's who are in my Genin team after the exam's. But as I was saying, it dose not matter what your rank is, if you try your hardest, you can become really strong, like me. Now, I think it is time for a break, so all of you go outside for now." Naruto said motioning to the door, and everyone started to file out. But a voice stopped everyone, including Naruto, as he recognized the Superior tone of voice.
"Hehehe, yea right, what a load of shit. When you're labeled, it sticks. I am the one who is going to get the rookie of the year, and I bet you aren't that strong, I bet I could beat you, right here, right now!" Said a boy, making Naruto turn and look at him. He saw one of the kids's who was going to be in his Genin team, who's name was Kaien Loki. He was from a clan that had joined the Shadow about six months after it had formed, and where well known for there bloodline ability, which allowed them to read there opponents movement's, and predict where the opponent would go. It was much like the Sharingun, except it did not copy Ninjutsu, or do any of the other thing's, just predicted enemy movements to a much larger degree, making them very formidable Tiejutsu fighter's. It also did other things, but not many outside the clan knew what it did.
"Oh really now? Well then prove it, right here, right now. Come on, you can even use your bloodline, and Ninjutsu. I will only use tie-jutsu. Come on, let's do it, rookie." Naruto said, saying Rookie with a hint of venom in his voice. Kaien smirked, and stepped down the stair's towards Naruto, before walking towards the other end of the room, and activating his eye's, smirking all the time.
"Come on, loser, don't hold back at all. I will still beat you into the ground, even if you are a Jounin." The boy said, his smirk never falling. Naruto just smiled, and reached up, pulling off his trench coat, and tossing it into the ground. Everyone watched it as it fell, and every one but Naruto was shocked when the wood cracked and broke when it hit the ground. Then every student looked at Naruto, who now stood in only his Jounin vest, which was unzipped, showing his bare chest underneath.
"Well now, I fell 400 pounds lighter. Now shall we?" Naruto said, getting into a stance no one recognized. Kaien recomposed himself and charged Naruto, throwing a punch at the blonde's head, and watched as Naruto ducked under it. Kaien smirked, as he was expecting that, and threw a kick at the blonde's unprotected head. Looking down, his smirk fell as he watched his kick pass right threw Naruto's head, and his face fell into a gape when Naruto started to fade away, before there was nothing left there.
"As I thought, you may be able to predict what I do, but if you are not fast enough it dose not matter." Said a voice right next to Kaien's ear. Kaien looked sideways but did not see anything. He let out a sigh of relief, but tensed up when he heard Naruto again, this time from right beside his other ear.
"You let your guard down." Turning, he saw Naruto there, then suddenly felt an intense pain in his stomach, like he had just been kicked, but he had not seen the blonde move. Dropping to the ground, he felt the older boy pinch his neck, and suddenly he couldn't move. Naruto bent down, and looked at Kaien, before speaking again.
"You lose…" Naruto said, before standing up and looking at the shocked faces of the other kid's. Looking them over, he grinned again, before speaking.
"Well, its time for a break, so go outside, or I will do this to get you outside! Go outside now!" Naruto said, and turned to pick up Kaien, before tossing him out the window (they where on the first floor). The rest of the kid's hurried outside then, and when they where all outside, Naruto turned to Iruka, and walked up to him, tossing the folder onto his desk.
"All right, I know about Kaien-teme, tell me about the other's." Naruto said, looking at Iruka's confused face. Naruto sighed, motioning to the folder. Iruka looked at it, before picking it up, and reading it over. His confusion changed to understanding, then to shock, before he looked up at Naruto again.
"You are a Genin-sensei!!? Huh, well anyway, about your students." Iruka said, walking over to the window to look out at his soon to be Genin, before speaking again.
"Well you know about Kaien, but about the other two. Ryuu Takien, she is like a small Ino and Sakura put together. Except she wont do anything unless Kaien tells her to, and Kaien ignores her completely.
"Now for the dobe, who surprised me the most. His name is Kinto Likomore, he is like you, and only he understands what it means to be a ninja. He was the only one to not freeze up when the 'Kill test' was done, and he also killed the attacking Nin. He has a strong sense of justice, and knows that he need's to work in teams if he wants to be a ninja. All in all, while he might be a dobe, he is also the one with the most potential."
Naruto looked at Iruka as he said all of this, mostly shocked at the boy named Kinto. Looking down at the kid's, he spotted said boy, standing on top of a fence, looking out at the village. Looking back at Iruka, he smiled, before speaking to him.
"Thanks Iruka that will help me a lot. I got to go now, bye." Naruto said, before he walked out of the academy, still thinking about that boy, Kinto. It was to days till the new Genin meet their teacher's, so he had enough time to plan his exam. This was going to be fun, really fun.
SCEAN CHANGE
Naruto was walking towards Tsunade's office, as he still did not know who the Chunin medic on his team was going to be. Knocking on her door, he was answered with a grunt, which he roughly deciphered as a 'come in'.
Opening the door, he closed it behind him, and turned to see a baggy eye's Tsunade in front of him. Walking in, he stopped right in front of her desk, before he spoke.
"Hey Baa-Chan, I just want to know one thing, who is the Chunin who will be assigned to my team?" Naruto asked her. Tsunade looked up at him, grinning widely, before handing him a folder. Naruto opened it, looking over its contents, before looking back at her, smiling.
"Thanks Tsunade."
Tsunade nodded, before motioning for him to get out. Naruto nodded, and left, still looking over the folder of one Sakura-Chan, who he was going to spend much time with in the up coming time.
SCEAN CHANGE: Genin teacher assignment day.
Naruto was standing outside the classroom listening to Iruka talk, till he finally got to the team assignments. He wore every thing but his ANBU mask and swords as they were still in his tattoo. He listened to it all till his team was called, then motioned for his friend to follow. Opening the door, he stepped in, along with the others.
"I'm Takair, I'm here to pick up team 5." Takair said, looking around. Most of the kids gaped at him in disbelieve. This little kid was a Jounin. Then Kaien started to laugh, followed soon by every one but Kinto, who just looked at him. Takair vanished, and Kaien felt cool metal against his neck, and he stopped laughing.
"Hey, loser, how bout you shut up." Takair said, before vanishing again, reappearing back down by Naruto, who was grinning at this. When team five came, and left with the small Jounin, Naruto spoke up.
"Hey guy's, you know me, I am here to pick up team 10!" Naruto said happily. He got just what he wanted to. Kinto got up and walked down to stand next to Naruto, but Kaien and his fan girl looked at Naruto in shock. This guy was there teacher. Naruto sighed, before speaking again.
"Fine, but I am waiting, I will be on the roof. Lets go Kinto." Naruto said, and put a hand on Kinto's shoulder, and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Everyone in the class looked at the smoke, before Kinto and fan girl got up and walked to the roof. Opening the door, they walked over to where Naruto and Kinto were, but did it in a slow, I-am-to-cool-for-you-to-even-touch kind of way. Naruto sighed again, but settled down. When they all sat down, he started talking.
"Hey guy's, I shall be your Jounin instructor, so let me start by getting to know you guy's." Naruto said, and got the sense of déjà vu when Ryuu raised her hands.
"Sense we don't know what to do, how about you go first." She said, looking timid. Naruto nodded then started his introduction.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like ramen and… other things. I dislike people who think they are better than others, traitors, and… other things. And my dream is to become the greatest ninja in the world." Naruto said, looking at their faces. Kinto looked at him in awe, but the other two looked like they couldn't care less. Pointing to Kinto, he spoke.
"You, bundle of joy." Naruto said, making the other two sinker, and Kinto pout before replying.
"I like ramen, and training, I dislike certain emoish teme's, and I also dislike fan girls. My dream is to grow up to be a Kage." Kinto said, happiness in his voice. The other two burst into laughter, but Naruto settled them down, and then pointed to Ryuu.
"You, giggle box." Naruto said, causing the other two to burst into laughter, and cause Ryuu to glare at Naruto. Naruto tried to keep a straight face. She sighed and started to speak.
"Well I like…" She giggled and glanced at Kaien, " I dislike loser dead last's with no skill, " she said, looking at Kinto, who winced, as did Naruto, but none of them noticed. Then she continued, " My dream's for the future are…" Once again she giggled but also squealed. Naruto sighed and pointed to Kaien.
"You little emo." Naruto said, causing Kinto to laugh hard, but stop when Ryuu bonked him on the head. After they settled down, Kaien started to talk.
"Kaien Loki, I like one thing, that is I like one Ninja, The Tenraku Hitotsu, I dislike loser's and fan girl's. My dream, well I will make it happen, is to become one of the Yoroshii, and eventually defeat the Tenraku Hitotsu." Kaien said, making Ryuu look at him with heart eyes, and making Kinto snort. Kaien was basking in his glory, when Naruto spoke up.
"That will never happen. I can tell you that right now. You will never become a member of Yoroshii, and even if you do, you will never beat The Tenraku Hitotsu. Trust me, this I know." Naruto said, looking at Kaien, who was now looking at him in anger. Kaien jumped up, and started yelling.
"How do you know, I know I am already strong enough to become a member of the Yoroshii, and might even be able to beat him now. Hahahah no I know I am!" Kaien said, looking pleased. Ryuu jumped onto her feet, and started to yell also.
"Hell yea he is, come on Kaien we don't need him, he is weak." Ryuu said, but was stopped when Naruto started to laugh. All of the kids turned to look at him.
"That is funny…hahaha… so Kaien, you want to see if you can back that up, fine, come here, all of you." Naruto said, and put his hands on the Shoulders of Kaien and Kinto, as Ryuu was happily holding Kaien's hand. Suddenly they puffed, and where at training ground four, a forest training area. Naruto turned to Kaien, and looked him over, before turning back, and looking at the air. Forming one hand seal, he spoke into the air, his voice echoing off it.
"Oni Seki."
About a second later, a figure jumped down from out of nowhere, walking towards the group, he looked at Naruto, and tilted his head to the side. Naruto sighed, and looked at the figure.
"Hey, this kid here, thinks he is good enough to be in the Yoroshii already. I want you to fight him, okay?" Naruto said, and watched as the figure chuckled behind its mask. Kaien looked at the figure then at his teacher.
"Who the hell is this?" Kaien asked, his tone demanding answers. Naruto turned to look at him, before speaking in a cold tone.
"This is Oni Seki, the weakest member of Yoroshii. If you want to get into Yoroshii, you have to beat a member. So have fun." Naruto said and moved back. Kaien smirked and turned to face Oni, before looking the Yoroshii in the eye, and telling him to bring it on.
Oni seki looked at Naruto, and tilted its head to the side. Naruto sighed and nodded. Oni seki grinned behind its mask, before turning to face the boy, who was about to launch into one of his speeches.
"I hope you know you don't stand a chance, I am part of the Loki clan, and we have more power than you could ever understand, so give up no…UGGHHHH!!" Kaien exclaimed as Oni Seki appeared in front of him, and hit him in the gut so hard he coughed up blood, and was pushed ten feet into the air. Landing, Kaien struggled to sit up, but when he looked up, he felt the cool touch of metal against his throat.
He had lost and he knew it.
Looking up, he saw the Oni Seki look at his teacher, who nodded at Oni seki, before said ninja vanished, leaving the Genin with there teacher's again. Kaien struggled to sit up, and when he did, he glared hard at Naruto, before speaking.
"That could not have been the weakest… as a matter of fact I bet that was the Tenraku Hitotsu, cause no one else would have beaten my that quick, yea that must be it, of cour…" Kaien was saying, but was cut off by Naruto.
"THAT IS IT!!! That was not The Tenraku Hitotsu, and it was the weakest member. To be a Yoroshii, is not a thing you can gain that quickly. Yoroshii member's all have to be as strong as a Kage, such as the lowest six members'. But no normal human could get into the top six Yoroshii, could never become a Fukei. To do that, you have to rank at least a four tail in demon terms, and that is no easy feet." Naruto said looking at Kaien. Kaien looked shocked for a second, before he retorted.
"How would you know?" He asked, Ryuu shot up after that as well.
"Yea how?" She said. Naruto clenched his teeth, before rising his Chakra higher than most jounin's have, and shooting it out, sending the kids back a good five feet. He sported his black wings and took on the form of Tenraku Hitotsu. Looking at the shocked faces of his Genin team, he spoke again, his voice the dark tone of this form.
"Because I am the Tenraku Hitotsu!" Naruto said, his swords now in his hands. All three Genin looked at him, emotions going over their faces. Then Kaien shot up, and looked at Naruto, disbelief written on his face.
"No way, but… wait, you lied! There is no way you were not the rookie of the year with that power, you are a liar!" Kaien said, pointing his finger at Naruto. Naruto growled again, and suddenly appeared in front of Kaien. Grabbing his finger he turned it and Kaien till Kaien was pointing at Kinto.
"NO I was that! I was the dobe, I was the loser, and guess what, now I am one of the strongest in the world. This power was not handed to me; I worked hard for it, as did every one of the Yoroshii. You do not know the meaning of hard work, neither dose she, but Kinto, Kinto dose. He is the only one here who could ever become a member of Yoroshii. But you, you will never be one with the way you are going." Naruto said, letting go of Kaien. Looking over his students, he heard a noise behind him, and turned to see the other 11 members of Yoroshii. Silent stepped forward.
"Naruto-san, are you okay… we felt your chakra release, and you transforming. What is going on?" Silent asked, his hand never leaving their positions on his swords. Naruto sighed and looked at the member's of Yoroshii.
"I was just proving a point my friend, nothing is wrong, you can go." Naruto said, never breaking his gaze away from his friends. All 11 ninja relaxed, and nodded.
"Hai!" They all said, before vanishing into the air. Naruto sighed and turned around to look at his Genin team. Looking them over, he was reminded just how much they reminded him of his team. Sighing again, he motioned for them to sit down, which they all did. Looking them over, he knew what must be done.
"Kaien, there is a reason why you will never beat me. A reason why none but one can." Naruto said, looking at the ground. Kaien looked at his teacher, but did not yell out, instead he questioned calmly.
"What is that?"
"…Tell me, what do you know of demon vessel's?" Naruto asked them, and did not miss Kinto wince at what he said, but he stored it away for later. All of them looked at each other, before Ryuu answered.
"Just that they are usually hated or turned into weapons, but also that they wield immense strength. Why?" Ryuu asked, looking at Naruto. Naruto sighed once again, but looked up at the sky.
"To become a member of Yoroshii, there is one unwritten requirement, which is why any member of Yoroshii would gladly give his life for anybody precious. To become a Fukei, you must have a greater demon sealed into you. To become a Kado Ki-Pa, you must have a lesser demon in you. Because of this, yes we have great power, but also have known great pain." Naruto said, never looking at his students, who where all trying to processes what he just said. Naruto figured it would take them some time, so he sat in silence, till Kaien spoke up.
"What do you mean by great pain? Like great emotional pain, or Physical pain?" The young boy asked, to which Naruto grinned. Turning to look at his team, he started to speak again.
"Both, as I was growing up, I was beaten, abused ignored, and I didn't even know why till I was twelve. It was then I meant Iruka-sensei, who became my first true friend. Then, awhile after that, I had many more friends, and I went on a journey, and left my teacher half way, knowing full well I needed to do the rest myself. But, one night, near Cloud, I was ambushed, and captured. They held me prisoner, and tortured me. It was during this I meet the second in command of the Yoroshii, Kumori Karite. We where both tortured, but we lived on, we survived, just to see our precious people again. About a month after that, we escaped, and headed towards the land of Waves. It was here we meant another one of my precious people, and as we found out, my half sister.
"We where walking through the town, getting or own fair share of attention, when we heard scream's. Running into an ally, we found several sound Ninja, about to rape a girl. Well we killed them and saved the girl. She got up and thanked us, then invited us to dinner. Well we accepted, and on the way, I asked her what her name was. What she said shocked both Silent and me. She said her name was Nagata Uzumaki. She turned and saw us both standing there. I got angry and rushed her, grabbed her by her shirt, and slammed her into a wall, then started to question her about who her parents where. She stammered out that her mother had been raped, and kept by Kumo ninja during the war. She was born, and sold of into slavery, and never saw her mother again, but heard that the 'Yellow Flash' might have rescued her. Well we did a blood test, and found out that she was my half sister. Boy that was the last thing I had expected. Soon after that, we returned to my home village, Konoha. But something happened, and we all left again. Nagata, returned a month and a half later, but Silent, the one I meant in jail, and me well we traveled and eventually helped liberate and create the Shadow village.
"Then we went back to Konoha, and soon after, were charged with treason, escaped, came here, left you guys with tons of ninja, left again for two years, came back, went on mission's as an ANBU captain, then got you brats. That is about my life story, told in a quick version. Any questions?" Naruto asked, looking at the stunned Genin, who all shook there heads in reply. Naruto sighed, and then looked at them again.
"Now tomorrow you shall have your real test, so be here at 6 AM, and I suggest you do not eat, you might upchuck. Hehehe, anyway, you guy's needed to go home now, you Kinto, I need to talk to you. Stay after okay?" Naruto said, getting a reply from said student. When the other two where gone Naruto turned to his student, and looked him in the eye.
"Where are you from?" Naruto asked. Kinto mumbled something, and then realizing Naruto had not heard him, he said it louder.
"Rock, came here when I was four." Kinto replied. Naruto whistled, before looking down at Kinto.
"Wow, from rock at four, that is a long way." Naruto said, and it was true, it was a long way. But both of them knew that was not what Naruto wanted to ask. Kinto looked down as Naruto started to speak again.
"Soooo, Kinto… listen, this may be hard, but I need to know…" Naruto said, his voice becoming softer, until he eventually started to speak again, " Who is it, and how strong?"
"I…I don't know what you are…" Kinto started, but was cut off when Naruto snorted. Looking up at the blonde, he saw a look of disbelief in his eye.
"Kinto please, I am a member of Yoroshii, hold the demon fox lord Kyuubi, do you really think I cant sense when a demon is near, even if it is sealed. No come on, I need to know?" Naruto said again. Kinto sighed, looking at the ground again, before answering.
"Bear, 4 tail's. It is sealed and locked, so you don't have to worry about it, okay." Kinto said, looking at his sensei. Naruto stared down at the boy, nodded and ruffled his hair.
"Thank you, now go home, you got to get ready for tomorrow. See you later Kinto." Naruto said watching the small boy run off. Sighing, he sat back down, and stared at clouds, a habit he had picked up from his Lazy ninja of a friend.
'Huh, it is kind of scary how alike my team and this team are… it is actually creepy. I really hope we don't turn out the same. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait and see.' Naruto thought as he looked up at the clouds, before his thoughts wander to ramen.
