Chapter five: Spirit possession
In the Hokage office in the ANBU headquarters
The Hokage looks at Anko. "What you mean that he is in the level of a Jonin? He learned with Naruto and that placed him as a Genin and he learning from you has only two weeks, he can't be in a Jonin level so soon." The Hokage says not believing on Anko.
"For you and everyone else we have trained only for two and a half weeks, but for us we trained for twenty years." Anko tells to the Hokage, leaning on the chair that she is sited on. "It is hard to believe but he also told me that he lived more than one hundred years while he waited for Naruto to grow old enough to need him." "How is that possible?" The Hokage asks surprised and shocked with the kunoichi words.
"When Benji for lack of better term is inside a body he stays in an area of the spirit that he calls it of Dreamscape. It is not the spirit but isn't the body, if I am not wrong he said that is a place between the sleep and the awareness, that not even a well trained ninja have access it is a kind of spirit realm inside our spirits." Anko explains to the Hokage. "And inside that place time, space, matter and physics are bent to his control. In other words in there when Benji lives one day in the real world can pass not even a instant, one day or even one year."
The Hokage lights his pipe and inhales deeply. "You are telling me that while thirteen years passed for us for him it could be thousands of years or even just a blink of eyes?" he asks after exhaling the blue smoke. "Exactly, it is not an unknown fact that a psychic conversation might take hours inside the minds talking but on the real world just one millisecond passed." Anko answered. "He used the same thing; he told me that on the first three years of Naruto's life he lived them as thirty years training every martial technique that he had knowledge of using the dreamscape to create terrains and enemies to polish his techniques and skills."
"And after Naruto became old?" The Hokage asked. "He expended most of the time with Naruto, but when Naruto was sleeping Benji trained stretching the time." Anko answered. "When he came to train with me he was already on the Chunin level. He also told me that he used to train Naruto there too so I am guessing that Naruto is a bit more skilled than he shows."
Sarutobi puffs out another cloud of smoke. "On this moment let's not think about Naruto but about Benji." He says to Anko in a firm tone "based on the weeks that you trained him you are telling me with out reasonable doubt that Benji can be a Jonin?" "Yes sir." Anko replies in a serious tone, she knows that now there isn't place for jokes. "I taught him everything that I knew and thought fit to him to learn."
"Okay then." Sarutobi says to her. "Call him." Anko nods and leaves the office to fetch Benji. The Hokage learns about the incident from an ANBU team member. 'I think that she is right, if he was able to rip of a Chunin soul like that he must indeed be a high level shinobi now.' Sarutobi thinks puffing another cloud of smoke.
Benji and Anko enter on the office and Sarutobi motions them to sit down. "Anko told me that you became skilled with the training." The elder says to them. "I trust on her judgment so the training isn't needed anymore…" "Oh yeah! That's right! Baby!" Anko shouts happily. "No more spirits possessing me!"
Sarutobi looks at Benji raising an eyebrow while Anko does a victory dance with a couple of fans and whistle. "You possessed her?" the Hokage asks to the spirit. "Oh yeah, more times that I care to count." Benji replies with a mix of provocative and sultry tone. "I know her body as well as she does." Anko who is too distracted to hear them keep celebrating while the Hokage seeks for a tissue to stuff on his now bleeding nose.
After his nose stops bleeding the Hokage cleaned his throat and Anko stops dancing. "Just because the training is over doesn't mean that you will not see him around anymore." Sarutobi says to Anko. She sulks a little and the elder continues. "Now regarding that event that you mentioned Benji I have taken some providences to make things right. Anko you can leave now." Anko smiles and say her farewells and leaves before the elder changes his mind.
"What exactly you did to her?" Sarutobi asks to Benji. "Just this and that." Benji replied casually. "Now what about those providences that you had mentioned?" "That is right, the providences. Come with me and let me show you some of them." Sarutobi replied getting up. Benji does the same and they leave the office. "Why you asked us to come to his office instead of the other one?" Benji asks while they walk out of the office. "Because I needed an excuse to leave the ANBU office, as you know we captured a pair of Hidden Rock ninjas and since we was in war against them I had to be here." Sarutobi replied.
"Lazy bum." Benji said teasingly. "I am not lazy, just old." Sarutobi replies with a grim, he likes the spirit of the spirit; Benji treats him respectfully but in some moments doesn't hesitate to say what he thinks a feature that many habitants of the Leaf don't do. They arrive on the Hokage usual office; the elder ninja fishes a Konoha forehead protector from a drawer and tosses it to Benji that grabs it. "Now you are an official Konoha shinobi." Sarutobi says to the spirit. "I appreciate the thought old man but I am a spirit I can't keep or use it, even this body of mine is just a fake one made out of solid energy." Benji tells to the elder man.
"I know, I know. But you will get a body sometime soon so I am giving it to you; I already arranged an apartment for you, fully decorated." Sarutobi replied while taking a key chain filled with keys from a safe. "Now let's move to another room to talk." Benji nods and follows the elder, stashing the bandana on his jacket pocket.
They move down a hidden stairway. "I am going to take you to one of the most secretive places of Konoha." Sarutobi tells to Benji. "It is where we hold the most secret and dangerous items of the village." "Why the scroll of secrets wasn't here?" Benji asked. "Because the Jonins study it and taking it from the secret vault every time that someone wants to read is troublesome." Sarutobi replied.
"As I was saying we keep inside this vault the most dangerous items of Konoha and the Fire country." Sarutobi continued they reach a door that he opens and they keep moving until they reach a heavily secured and sealed vault. Sarutobi unseals and opens the vault. "In this vault are the most dangerous weapons that the ancient world ever created." He says entering on it with Benji following him.
Benji looks around, at the first glance there is swords, spears and other kinds of ninja and martial arts weapons, scrolls, books, armors and other things that normally exist but altered and made unique by their makers. "Holy shit!!" Benji shouts seeing what lies in a most distant rack. "A MINIGUN!!" Benji looks at the wicked six-barreled weapon and besides it he sees another heavy weapon. "A GRENADE LAUNCHER!!"
"So you have knowledge of the ancient weapons of mass killing." Sarutobi says to Benji. "I guessed when I saw at some of your belongings." Benji is examining the weapons; the grenade launcher was the normal break barrel single shot launcher and there were two very large ammo boxes near it.
"I assume that you can use them to defend Konoha can't you?" Sarutobi asks. "Old man with his kind of firepower I can easily destroy a good part of Konoha." Benji answered swallowing hard. "These weapons can easily level up a castle." "And because of the danger of them they are kept locked here." Sarutobi tells to Benji. "Besides no one know how to use them."
Benji takes few deep breaths to calm himself. "Why you are giving me those? They must be very rare." Benji says to the elder shinobi. "They are unique and since you know the plans of Orochimaru and from what I heard we will need all the power that we can have. Then I am entrusting you with those." Sarutobi replied. Benji stays in silence; he looks around and points to the swords rack. "Why those are here?" he asked.
"Some of them are cursed, some are evil, and others have its own conscious and make the user insane or do evil deeds." Sarutobi answered. "I could list all the reasons but I will keep it short. Benji moves to the rack and looks at the swords. "They are sealed but I advice to not get too close of them." the elder advises to Benji. Benji looks at one of the swords. "What this sword does?" Benji asks to the shinobi. "That is the Tsuki no Raikou. It is a cursed sword that we acquired in the war with the Hidden Cloud village. That sword starves for blood and possesses the power of lightning strikes." The Hokage answered. "People said that the reason of the curse that a moon fairy was killed and her spirit was imprisoned on the blade to give the powers that the sword have."
"Why you are crying?" Benji asked; Sarutobi looks confused to the spirit he can see the spirit looking at the sword when asking. "Lonely, I can understand that." Benji says. "Over thirty years in here like that, poor girl." Sarutobi wonders what the spirit is doing or if that he got crazy, then he recalls that Benji is a spirit he can see things that he can't. 'He can't be seeing and talking to Raikou…' Sarutobi thinks.
"It hurts?" Benji asked. "Okay I will deal with that." Benji takes the sword from the rack and rips the many paper seals that were covering the sword. "Don't do that!" Sarutobi shouted one second too late. A surge or energy flows from the sword before it vanishes. "What?" Sarutobi mutters seeing a female spirit bowing at Benji and vanishing too. "Why I haven't felt any evil intent?" Benji looks at the elder. "She suffered for many years and she wasn't evil but she cursed the owners of the sword because she felt that they were responsible for her death and prison. Now she just wants company." Benji explained. "And where is the sword?" Sarutobi asked. "With me." Benji answered.
Sarutobi sighs. 'He is bad for my heart…' he thinks following Benji out of the room after the spirit gets the firearms. Sarutobi places the weapons inside a scroll and hands it to Benji, the vault is once again locked and sealed and the two leave the room. Half an hour later Sarutobi is looking at Benji on his office. "Now that we arranged your equipment I will introduce you to your underling." The Hokage says to the spirit. "Underling?" Benji asks confused.
"Yes." Sarutobi replied pressing a button on his desk. "You will need someone to aid you." The door of the office opens and a seventeen years old girl enters on the office. "Akari Haruka presenting herself as requested Hokage-sama." She says in a serious strict and military tone. She is wearing the standard shinobi uniform, her hair is in a coppery red color and she has blue eyes.
"At ease." Sarutobi tells to the teen. "This is your new commanding officer." Haruka looks at Benji. "Why he is not using the shinobi uniform?" She asks to the Hokage. "Not even the vest." "Because I don't have it and I prefer that people don't think that I am a ninja." Benji answered. "Haruka-kun when you want to ask something like that ask for the person directly." Sarutobi tells her. "The uniform isn't obligatory, Genins doesn't have to use it, Chunins are obliged to use the vest, but Jonins can use it if he desires. Most of the shinobis use it because it is practical."
"But Hokage-sama the uniform is what identify us as ninjas and he is not even using the Konoha forehead protector." She protested. "Because he doesn't want it." Sarutobi said to her in a serious but gently tone. "You learned on the academy that a shinobi must conceal himself and not get attention from the enemy, he chose not to wear anything that gives out that he is a ninja so the enemy will not be ready for him when he acts, am I right Himura-kun?"
"You are right." Benji replied. "Now stop protesting at his clothes and listen to me." Sarutobi tells her. "From this moment until a second notice you are under his command. You are going to follow his orders as you would do to any of your former commanders." Haruka nods meekly at the scolding that she got. "As you must have figured Himura-kun is a Jonin. He is in a secret mission and anything that he tells you are strictly classified, if you have any protests you make to him or directly to me, no one else must hear anything." Sarutobi continues in a serious tone.
Haruka nods and Benji listen quickly while the elder ninja drills the young Chunin. After ten minutes Benji and Haruka leave the office. "You had lunch?" Benji asks to her. "What?" she asked confused. "I asked if you had lunch, it is over two in the afternoon." Benji replied "No sir, I didn't had lunch. I was summoned before I could have my meal." She answered on a military tone. "To begin with this you don't need to call me sir." Benji tells her. "I don't care about ranks and things like that unless it is really needed like in the presence of others like the Hokage or other teams and please don't call me by the family name."
"It is not proper sir." She protested. "I don't care. I am not that stuck up, we are together now so let's try to be friends." Benji replied. "Now you want to have some lunch? My treat." Haruka opens her mouth and her stomach growls. "I take that as a yes." Benji says with a teasingly smile. Haruka blushes covering her stomach. "Let's go while we lunch I tell you some of my small rules." Benji tells to the younger kunoichi while leading her to a small family restaurant.
Half an hour later Haruka is sipping some iced tea while waiting for her meal. "You won't order anything sir?" she asks noticing that Benji haven't ordered anything. "I already ate." Benji replied. "Don't mind me and enjoy your meal." "I feel really shy over the idea of eating by myself in front of someone that I just met." She commented. "But I will enjoy the meal sir."
"You don't have to call me sir." Benji said sipping some water. "Yes sir." She replied. Benji sighs. "Well another thing that I was going to say is that you don't have to wear the uniform and the headband all the times." Benji tells her. "You can use casual clothes, to be honest I prefer that you use casual clothes so if anyone is watching us won't be able to tell if we are working or not."
Haruka stays in silence. "You have casual clothes don't you?" he asks noticing her tense silence. "Not many and I don't think that they would be practical if I need to fight." She answered. "After the lunch we will go shopping and pick you some casual clothes." Benji tells her. "Before you protest, think about it as equipment for the mission." She closes her mouth and swallows her protest, she can't counter that logic.
A waitress arrives with Haruka's steak; the kunoichi eats it slowly savoring the rare treat. After half an hour she is done even with the dessert, Benji pays the bill and they leave the restaurant. "Now you go back to your home and put on whatever casual clothes you have. We will go buy the new clothes for you after you change." Benji tells to the kunoichi, she nods not so willing but since he is her commanding officer. "I meet you in front of the Sakurada store in half an hour, is that fine for you?" Benji informs her. "It will be fine sir." She replied. Benji sighs it will be hard work to make her stop calling him sir.
Benji walks around the city to kill time, he noticed his young pursuer. Benji walks to a more deserted part of the city knowing that she is still tailing him from a safe distance. Satisfied with the distance and the deserted location Benji decides to help himself with his newly acquired prey.
"What? He vanished?" she whispers when no longer seeing Benji ahead of her with her Byakugan. She hurries to the last spot that he was; Hinata totally misses the spirit tackling her from behind appearing from the earth. Benji covers Hinata's eyes. "Gotcha." He says to her. Hinata struggles against him, but the spirit is stronger than she is. "Now don't squirm too much or your wounds might open." Benji tells her in a worried tone letting her go. "This was just a prank to show you that you got a bit too distracted and allowed yourself to be caught."
Hinata is confused. "Let's sit on that bench I am sure that you want to talk." Benji said pointing at an empty bench near a vending machine. Hinata nods feeling tired because her wounds. Hinata sits down looking at the ground. "Here." Benji says handing a juice can to her. "Blueberry it is your favorite, right?" "It is, thank you." she replied shyly taking the can. Benji sits besides Hinata with some distance between himself and her.
"How you know that this is my favorite?" she asks shyly while popping open the can. "I am sure that you already figured who I am." Benji replied. "And since most of the times I didn't had much to do I ended noticing details that many people don't notice, as the fact that you always buy a can of blueberry juice when you have lunch."
Hinata sips the cold juice to calm herself a little. "So my suspicions are true?" She asks him. "You were that spirit that was always around Naruto-kun?" Benji nodded confirming knowing that Hinata caught his answer. "Why you no longer are with him?" Hinata asks shyly. "He is outgrowing his need for me, not to mention that is time to Naruto live by himself and fight for himself." Benji answered. "Soon Naruto will desire for his privacy and his own life with out a spirit stuck with him."
"Naruto-kun isn't like that." Hinata defended him. "I know but he needs to grow by himself now. I will be around to aid him when needed but I won't be as I was before." Benji replied. "What you are?" Hinata asks meekly. "I am a spirit. I was accidentally sealed inside Naruto. Until recently I was always with Naruto, in a way I was all his family, friend and company on the past years." Benji answered.
"Now I understand why sometimes Naruto-kun didn't act as himself, it was you." she commented. "Right. Naruto is lazy and when he didn't want to do something I was stuck with doing it, of course sometimes I did play around for fun." Benji replied with a smile. "Enough about me, lets talk about you." "Me?" Hinata squeals blushing.
"Yes you. Unlike Naruto I already know how you feel towards him." Benji tells to the Hyuga girl. "Don't worry I haven't told him that, it is your job to do so." Hinata blushes even more at his words. "If you talk to him I am sure that you will enjoy the surprise. Just get over that shyness of yours. You are cute and a nice girl, go talk to him." Benji added.
Hinata blushes even more wondering what surprise it would be that, not that Benji's voice and low, slow and sultry tone help to her blush to diminish. "I heard that Naruto is on the hospital because he trained too much, why you don't go pay him a visit?" Benji added. "Naruto-kun is in the hospital?" Hinata asks. "It is just a case of mild exhaustion, you can visit him." Benji replied.
Hinata begins to stutter and moving the can around not knowing what to do with her hands. Hinata gulps down the remaining juice trying to calm herself down, Benji keeps rubbing her in the right way making her face get as red as a stop sign. "Let's go." Benji says getting up. "I still have seventeen minutes before I have to meet my underling so I will escort you to the hospital." "But…but…" "No buts." Benji cuts Hinata. "If you want to be his girlfriend begins being a friend and get closer of him. Sooner than you notice you two might get that close."
With some direct pulling and pushing of Hinata Benji takes her to the hospital, she even fainted on the way making Benji posses her body in order to take her there. Hinata wakes in the hospital hall with a small fruit basket on her hands, inside the basket there is also a cup of expensive instant ramen and a thermo filled with hot water. 'At last you woke.' Benji says inside her mind.
'What?!' Hinata shouts. 'Why I can hear you and why I am here?!' she hears Benji chuckling. 'I brought you here by possessing your body after you fainted. Now we are in front of Naruto's bedroom, and that basket and the contents are a little something that I bought so you can give to him, all his favorites are there.' He replied. 'Now I will walk you to the room and leave, go your best.'
Hinata protests but Benji is fully controlling her body. Naruto looks at Hinata; Benji makes her blush and greets Naruto. 'Bye bye Hinata-chan do your best.' Benji says before slipping away from the control placing Hinata back in control and slipping through the floor. Benji landed lightly on the empty room under Naruto's and walks away from the hospital.
Hinata blushes deepened and she summons her courage. "I bought this for you Naruto-kun." She says in a meek tone offering the basket to him. "I hope that you like it…" Naruto looks at the basket. "All my favorites! Hinata-chan you are the best! You even got me ramen!" Naruto exclaimed Hinata was in the seventh heaven on that moment. 'Maybe it wasn't all that bad…' she thinks sitting in a chair besides the bed because her knees are about to give up on her. Hinata helps Naruto fixing the ramen and chats with him, mostly complimenting him for passing through the pre-eliminatory phase and a light chit chat.
Meanwhile Benji watched the beginning from a window before leaving to meet Haruka. "Well now I have to turn her into a less by the book shinobi." Benji mutters walking away. "That might be fun." "Stop right there!" a male voice shouts to Benji in a dramatic tone. "Just what I needed…" Benji mutters. "Mind in saving for later?" Benji says to Jiraya. "I have a meeting with my underling in less than seven minutes."
Jiraya looks at Benji a bit surprised. "We can talk while we walk but we will talk." Jiraya replied. "Fine just move." Benji said resuming his walk. "So what you need from me oh great Ero-sennin?" "You for sure lived with Naruto." Jiraya muttered at the way that Benji called him. "So you spoke to the Old man?" Benji asked. "If you mean the Third yes, he explained me the situation and I came see it with my eyes." Jiraya answered. "I kind of wanted you to be a female."
"For your disappointment and my happiness I am a male." Benji replied. "Now let's stop with those kinds of remarks and get serious, I want to know what you have taught to Naruto if you have taught to him any of those amazing jutsus that I heard that you created." Jiraya says in a serious tone. "I haven't taught him them. Just what I knew of taijutsu and other important martial knowledge. Until I used that jutsu on the exam I didn't know that I could use them at all. And by them I was already on the middle of the process of making Naruto less dependant of me." Benji tells to the older ninja. "But recently I am getting the feeling that he already forgot everything." Benji added with a sigh.
Jiraya nods understanding. "I assume that you already know how I am training him." he says to the spirit. "I know that. Who you think that smothered up the Kyubi so Naruto could tap on its chakra." Benji replied. "Just to make sure." Jiraya said. "We will continue this later." Benji tells to the older ninja. "I have other business to take care off." Jiraya nods and moves away, Benji sees Haruka waiting even thought she is five minutes earlier.
"Nice dress." Benji tells to the kunoichi who is now wearing a light red summer dress. Haruka blushes. "Thank you." she replied. "Well since we are early let's begin." Benji says to her, Haruka nods and they move to their first stop in a clothes store.
End of the chapter five:
Author explanation corner:
The guns won't be explained now.
The sword has a spirit inside, and as a spirit Benji can see and hear the other spirit, the Hokage can't, by will of the spirit trapped inside the sword the sword is now part of Benji's spirit, so it is with him as spirit, to be summoned at his will.
Haruka: She is a chunin, she will be detailed in the next chapters, she was created because I couldn't place a member of the original Naruto characters with Benji.
Hinata and Benji: Because her Byakugan, Hinata could see Benji, but because her personality as well the fact that no one else was aware about him she never said a word about him. Benji is aware of Hinata's feelings, and thinks that she is a really good if not a perfect match for Naruto, her calm and gentle nature and demeanor counter Naruto's brashness, making them a balanced couple. So he is acting as cupid by physically as well mystically moving Hinata into action on the first steps and letting her walk the rest of the way alone.
Benji and Jiraya: Benji knows Jiraya from the anime, so he knows what to expect, and Benji is hanging around near Kyubi's 'cage' and taking with the fox, what is said and done between them is still a secret.
