Title: Gateway to a New Life

Chapter 1: Hyuuga Hizashi, Uchiha Obito. Brave souls of the past!
"Ken no Wangetsu Tsuki," a five year old could be heard shouting out. "Kouri Arashi!"
Another 5 year old dodged the attack; this one had yellow fox ears and 5 yellow tails. This kid jumped at the first, holding a katana in his two hands. "Wangetsu Tsuki!" he yelled, moving his blade in the form of the attack of the legendary Crescent Moon attack.
The first kid blocked the attack. This one had two blue wolf ears and 6 blue tails, each with a green/white tips. The first kid forced the others sword back, and prepared another attack. "Hoshi Honou!" He yelled, bringing down his blade in an amazing dazzle of bright red flame.
Seeing this, the second kid jumped out the way. As he moved to take a slash at his opponent, a strong demonic voice sounded in his head. Enough! It said, I think we are ready to progress in your Kenjutsu practise. Arashi, Naruto has caught up with you.This was followed by a few chuckles that Arashi knew really well.
Oh no… Something bad is going to happen. He thought. He knew the chuckle alright; it meant that their training had increased.
Well, first we need to do a few things. Arashi, a true Kenjutsu master makes his own blade. And since Naruto needs something more suitable than that overly big Knife, you two will now learn to craft swords for the rest of the day, and tomorrow you will make them. No restrictions on materials. If you need it, we'll give you all the time you need. Just take note that every day you miss out on after the two is everyday your training is intensified to catch up.
Also, you'll be training your link while looking it up. You both will only look up half the scrolls. Arashi will learn the demonic art of crafting, Naruto the human. Both are as hard as the other, but the Demon swords include Chakra blades, and therefore take longer though are stronger.
Arashi and Naruto both mentally nodded. They then made a few seals to conceal their ears and tails.
Oh, and think of the Demon sword-crafting as your Demon Jutsu lessons for today and tomorrow. Two more things: Don't forget to check out Dakota and Hinata. Dakota needs some people her own age and Hinata's being kidnapped soon. And the second thing, work on summoning. Naruto, you need to summon stronger foxes than those who are running wild. You need demon ones. And Arashi, the Hachuuri are hard to control. But they're amazingly good partners with summoning.
The rest of the day in, 2… 1… Go!
Before one was said, Naruto and Arashi were already off. Arashi had used some seals and summoned a messenger from hell to bring him the scrolls, and he had done this while running to Hinata. Naruto however, ran off to the Library, got some scrolls and then hid them. After doing that, he selected one and went off to see Dakota.
Naruto's P.O.V
Naruto hurried off while reading the scroll. After he finished the first chapter, he was at Dakota's. Remembering to keep his Link open, he knew that at that time Arashi was talking to a messenger and it seemed to be one of Juubi's assistants.
He went over to where Dakota was meditating, working on strengthening her Chakra reserves even more than what they were.
"Boo" he said, appearing behind her. She let a low laugh escape her.
"Damn, that's 128 times over 1… I need to keep myself open more. Why couldn't I be closer during birth?" She asked him, looking up. Smiling, Naruto simply replied, "Because you don't want to be in the presence of Kyuubi. Although, I do remember seeing her checking out Juubi once. She has to learn that a fox is not a wolf…"
You'll pay for this…
Dakota giggled at that remark. "So, what did you come here for?" She asked him. Her parents didn't mind Naruto, no matter what he was, but still, the Villagers would and she didn't want the her family hated because Naruto was her friend.
"Kyuubi wanted me to check up on you, and I need some Ken crafting scrolls. Do you have any?" Naruto explained and asked.
Dakota shook her head. "I think my brother knows some Kenjutsu, but he's fine with the sword he bought from the Weapons store." Naruto nodded. Oh well.
"Remember to send another message later. Oh, and Hinata-san's kidnapping happens soon. Be on your toes." Dakota nodded. Luckily she had been around Hinata. Seeing as they weren't expected to have good Physical strength, Kyuubi had them amp up their Chakra limit and Endurance, since Kyuubi and Juubi were able to supply Naruto and Arashi with more. It only made it far and added to some facts. I mean hey, the greatest of the ninja contained a Kunoichi who only came into close combat to slit someone's throat after she had them trapped in a Genjutsu.
"Well, I better continue reading. And don't worry about telling Hinata-san. Arashi-kun's got that. However, we will be around her during night on the day of the treaty signing. We want to make sure that the cloud ninja 'accidentally' gets lost."
Dakota giggled. That was her Naruto-kun.
Arashi's P.O.V
Arashi looked up. He was almost at Hinata's house. Hopefully she would be out the back meditating and learning to sight quickly. According to Juubi, she was fast and she should use that to her advantage. It would be easy for her to survive in the war this time if she didn't stay stationary like the Hyuuga's practised.
Checking on Naruto, he was where he could sense him, talking to Dakota. He heard a low grumble and realised he made the joke about Kyuubi checking Juubi out. With a sigh, he looked up. "Seiryokugan" He said. His eye's started to glow until settling into a green colour.
As soon as it was up, he saw the Chakra appearing meaning that he, that is the demon, had returned. "The scrolls, Arashi-sempai…" He said, holding up one scroll. Nodding, Arashi made a few seals. "Kai" He said, watching as one roll of parchment came out, reducing the larger one's size. Arashi dismissed the demon, and started reading it. By the time he was at the Hyuuga house, he had finished the first scroll and sent it back to the demon world.
Finding Hinata's location, meditating in the garden, he went up behind her. He watched as Hinata was undisturbed, then struck as soon as she turned around. He had seen the Chakra tense, and deflected the blow, before striking two weak points on the opposite of her neck.
"If it weren't for the Seiryokugan, I'd probably be dead Hinata-chan," he told her. "Good job." As she realised that it was Arashi speaking, she quickly embraced him.
"Oh, Arashi-kun, what took you so long?" She asked him. He patted her back. He knew how rough her childhood had been. And she only admitted her infatuation with him when he and Naruto turned 4. And the only reason she had done that was because she wanted to tell him in case she was to die in the war again.
"It's okay." He told her. "You're going to be kidnapped soon. I'll be here every night because of that, regardless of whether Juubi-ookami wants me to or not."
It's your training.
"Good, because you know that I love my uncle too much… And I hate having to act like a 4 year old when mentally I'm 25!" She said. She knew their plan to trap the man in a forest, and she was willing to help once the signal was fired. Arashi smirked.
"Unfortunately I have to go or my training will end up increasing ten-fold. I'll come over tomorrow to show off my new sword, okay?" Arashi said to her.
Hinata smiled and nodded. "You better, or when you do have it I'll take it from you and you'll learn just how good you are!"
Smiling, Arashi embraced her one more time before going off to learn of the Demon Ken. Boy was he going to have some fun compared to his normal schedule.
1 Day Later
The next day Arashi and Naruto smiled at their handiwork.
Naruto had made another Katana of the strongest metal alloy he could find, and it had hard stone to re-enforce it. Like the Demons did before adding Chakra, as the metal alone couldn't hold it. The grip of the blade was formed of some Leather and his second element Chakra, Fire. This meant that it could handle flame Kenjutsu attacks, like Arashi's old Ken no Wangetsu Tsuki. Finally to layer it off, Naruto laced the blade part with Wind Chakra so it would be strong, and added a touch of Kyuubi's chakra so it wouldn't break at all and made the strikes stronger. All in all, a blade Kyuubi said that even the Master smiths of hell would be left in awe.
Arashi, on the other hand, left his blade's design rot and grabbed something way different, yet would still handle all of his many Fire Kenjutsu.
Like Naruto, he favoured a Katana. Yet his style relied on two, so the weight was increased in the hilt and decreased in the blade to keep its strength, yet make it easier to wield with one hand. The blade itself was nothing. Instead, it was a bunch of Wind Chakra melded into the form. Harder to craft, yet a better blade, and it not only made it so his Fire Kenjutsu could still work, yet also strengthened it. The Hilt was made of granite and reinforced with his own Earth Chakra, and on the inside of it was Juubi's demonic chakra to prevent the hilt from shattering. Set in and open part was a crystal filled with all the Chakra he could muster, meaning that like the Ken no Wangetsu Tsuki it held it's own amazing Kenjutsu power.
Juubi dubbed this blade Ookami no Ken; Blade of the Wolf, as it was made with some of his Chakra and was stronger than Drent's own blade, the strongest of the wolves' swords.
However Arashi and Naruto of course got to name their own blades. Naruto called his the Hoshi Nogareru; The Star Breaker, after the fact that by its power it broke one of the Ken no Wangetsu Tsuki while using Hoshi Honou.
And Arashi called his the Sora Okurimono; The Air's Gift after the fact that its blade was made of Wind-type Chakra and that it's own Kenjutsu ability shattered a boulder into pieces.
Arashi and Naruto truly enjoyed their new blades, and couldn't wait to try them out. Luckily, that time came sooner than expected.
It happened that morning when they saw the Raikage walk into Konoha. Smiling to each other, they went to grab their weapons and wait at the Hyuuga household…
That Night
Arashi and Naruto were scanning the field before them, two green eyes looking out in the distance. About two hours later, they saw a Chakra signal. But this wasn't some kind of foreign Ninja… It was Uchiha Obito…
Cliff-hanger?? Nope!
About 5 minutes later Hinata had ran off to Hiashi, and Naruto was engaging Hizashi in a fight. "Hoshi Honou!" he shouted out, sticking the blazing katana into Hizashi. Gasping, he pulled out a Kunai and went to slash Naruto. Smiling, he simply pulled out his blade and sliced at the Kunai, cutting it in half in one smooth notion, proving how hard and strong the Wangetsu Tsuki had been.
Gaping at his handle, Hizashi surrendered, preparing to attack while Naruto's guard was down. Unfortunately for him, Naruto's Seiryokugan knew this and Hizashi was disabled.
Meanwhile, Arashi was striking against Obito, unable to fight Hizashi because of the demon wolves' treaty.
Left, right, thrust… Arashi had his work cut for him dodging this man. He was very skilful with a blade. Unfortunately for him, during his past life Arashi was the most renowned swordsman in all of Konohagakure. And he wasn't this strong then and he now wielded a better blade.
Arashi smiled as he jumped back. Time to use one Kenjutsu the man couldn't copy… Taking in a breath, Arashi held up his blade and shouted, "Sora Okurimono, Sora Nadegiri Suru!" and watched as his swords attack cut Obito to pieces. First off wind blew through his blade, the wind floating around and quickly melding into a blade to replace the wind currently being used as the blade as it lifted and flew into Obito. Then the second process began.
The wind started to curl up into a tornado format and circled him, slashes appearing all over him. By the time it was done, his clothes had been shredded and torn while he went unconscious of blood lost.
A few days later Naruto and Arashi were practising a demonic Jutsu to make them go invisible when they heard the dreadful news from Sarutobi's assistant. "Obito and Hizashi have escaped…"
I know, they seemed too strong, right? I was just trying to get across the power in the blades they crafted. Don't forget to review if you like this story. Reviews make the world go round, apparently!
