Chapter 2: Mysterious Shinobi of the Moon
It was 6:32 in the morning in a patch of forest that was just a few miles outside of the Hidden leaves village. It was peaceful and quiet in that part of the forest and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of a leaf ninja complaining about his sensei being late.
"Ero-sennin is late" said Naruto impatiently as he paced back and fourth. Jiraiya had woken him up earlier that morning and told him to him outside the village so that he could teach Naruto a new jutsu. Normally Naruto would be up at this hour but the chance to learn a new jutsu was to good to pass up.
After a few more minutes Jiraiya finally showed up. "Naruto" Jiraiya said as he waved over in Narutos direction. Naruto then ran over in his direction and began to yell at Jiraiya. "Ero-sennin, what is the big idea of calling me out here so early, I didn't get a chance to eat my ramen and…" at that moment Narutos stomach growled as he remember he still didn't have anything to eat yet. "Take it easy Naruto" Jiraiya said, putting his hands up defensively "I assure you I didn't call you out here for nothing." "Well can you hurry it up" Naruto yelled, "I need to get back so I can continue looking for Sasuke". Jiraiya suddenly turned very serious, "don't worry, this won't take long" he said coldly.
Before Naruto could react Jiraiya threw a kunai at Narutos left shoulder. Naruto jumped back as the kunai hit his left shoulder, he then looked at Jiraiya with a look of confusion and pain on his face, "what the hell did you that for Ero-sennin" asked Naruto angrily as he took the kunai out from his shoulder. In a puff of smoke Jiraiya disappeared and an ANBU agent appeared, "that kunai was coated with a special poison that disrupts the chakra flow" the ANBU agent told Naruto, "you wont be able to use any of your ninjutsus for a while".
"Who are you and where is Ero-sennin" shouted Naruto, who still had no idea of what was going on. "Your not very bright for a demon" the ANBU agent said mockingly which angered Naruto. "Jiraiya-sama was never here, I was the one who told you come here" stated the ANBU agent, "why" Naruto questioned as he slowly reached into his right pocket. "You have been deemed to dangerous to be allowed to live" said the ANBU agent, "Naruto Uzumaki, by the order of the grand counsel of Kohona, you are to be executed immediately". Naruto then quickly threw the smoke bomb that was in his pocket at the ground and a cloud of smoke encompassed the area that he was standing in. "A smoke bomb" the ANBU agent said as he rushed into the smoke cloud so that Naruto wouldn't escape, but as the smoke settled he realized the Naruto was nowhere to be found.
'I have to talk to Tsunade-baachan, maybe she can ANBU is after me' was what Naruto was thinking as he rushed through the forest attempting to get back to Kohona. He needed to talk to someone, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, anyone who could help him, but unfortunately the wound in his left shoulder and his growling stomach had only slowed down his escape. Naruto came to halt as a pair of shuriken was thrown on the ground in front of him, he looked up into a nearby tree to see the ANBU agent that had been chasing him had caught up with him. "There is no escaping me kyuubi brat" the ANBU agent spat at Naruto, 'Damn' Naruto thought when he realized that he had to fight in orderto get back to Kohona. He quickly did the hand seal for his shadow clone jutsu, "Kage Bushin" Naruto said as he performed his signature technique, but after a couple of seconds he looked around a saw that not one clone had materialized, "Kage Bushin" Naruto said as he tried a second time, but the results were the same.
"I told you that the poison in the kunai disrupts the flow of charka" the ANBU agent explained to Naruto as he jumped down from the tree, "Did you forget?" Naruto looked at the ANBU agent with shock and horror, he couldn't use his justsu's, he still had a long way to go before he got back to Kohona, and no one was around to save him. "Why, what have I done, I have never hurt anyone" Naruto asked the ANBU agent, the ANBU agent chuckled a little and replied "foolish boy, no one wants a demon like you around". The last thing Naruto felt was the ANBU agent striking him from the back knocking him out, Naruto then staggered for a bit and then fell to the ground, then everything went black.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto shot up quickly, painting and sweating as he remembered what had just happened to him. He felt all over his body to make sure that he wasn't dead, he checked his left shoulder where to wound had been and was startled to find that it had been bandaged up. After taking a few seconds to calm down Naruto began to check his surroundings, in front of him there was a fire going, there was also a couple of fish on sticks that were cooking by the fire, on the left side of the fire near a tree was a roll of bandages as well as a back pack. He also noticed his jacket had been taken of and was laying on the ground a few inches to his to his right, he looked up at the sky and saw that it was already some time in the evening. Naruto began to relax as he realized that he was no longer in any danger, but he couldn't help but wonder where he was and what had happened to the ANBU agent that was after him.
"So, your awake now are you?" said a mysterious voice off to Narutos left, Naruto turned to see where the voice had originated from. A man then walked into the campsite and looked at Naruto, "I was able to clean out the poison from your wound and bandage it up, So are you okay kid" the man asked, "I'm fine" Naruto responded as he looked at the man in front of him. The man was about as tall as Iruka and appeared to be in his nineteen years old, he was wearing a pair of pants that were similar to Narutos except they were grey and had a shuriken holder attached to his right leg, he was a black jacket with a red line going along the side of the sleeves. On his forehead was a ninja headband with the symbol of the hidden moon village on it, except the crescent moon symbol was facing the wrong way, his most noticeable features however was his white, and his eyes were two very distinct colors, his left one was dark green and his right one was red.
"You are lucky that I happened to be passing by when you got attacked otherwise you might not have been here right now" said the moon shinobi, he then leaned down and picked up the two fish and then offered one to Naruto which Naruto immediately took and began to eat. "So, want to explain why an ANBU agent was after you" asked the moon ninja, trying his best not to imply anything, Naruto stooped eating the fish in his hand and looked down at the ground with a hurt look on his face "I don't want to talk about it" Naruto said sadly. "Well, you may not want too but talking about these things with other people helps us deal with it" said the moon ninja a little worried about Narutos emotional state, Naruto then looked at him suspiciously, worried of what the moon ninja might do if he found out about the Kyuubi, "relax kid" the moon ninja said sensing Narutos uncertainty, "regardless of what it is I promise I won't do anything to you". Naruto didn't know why but he trusted what him.
After a few seconds Naruto spoke in a low voice "its because I'm a demon", "I'm sorry, what did you say?" the moon ninja asked unable to hear what Naruto had just said, "Its because I'm a demon" Naruto shouted angrily, the moon ninja was a little taken back by Narutos sudden raise in voice and by what he just said but rather than be scared of by it he looked at Naruto more curiously, "please explain" asked the moon ninja. "When I was born they sealed the Kyuubi inside of me and now every hates me for something I had no control over" Naruto said with an expression of anger and sadness on his face. "I see, so that explains it" said the moon ninja, "explains what" asked Naruto, "When I rescued you I cast a genjutsu on the ANBU agent that was attacking and then replaced your body with an animal that I had killed for breakfast" the moon ninja said, "animal?" Naruto asked curiously. "The ANBU destroy the bodies of the rogue ninjas that they capture and the animal was all that I had with at the time" the moon ninja explained, "anyway, after he tore up the muscles surrounding its heart he set the rest of the body on fire, I thought this was unusual at first but I think he was afraid that the Kyuubi would escape from the seal if he tried to destroy you any further" explained the moon ninja, he then added "Oh, I also put that necklace you had on the animal and the ANBU agent took it away". Naruto quickly felt around his neck and realized that the necklace wasn't there anymore. "Hey what did you do that for" Naruto asked angrily, the moon ninja looked at Naruto a little annoyed and said "It added to the realism of death, besides that is the least of your worries right now."
Realizing that the moon ninja was right the hurt look on Narutos face returned as he remembered the last thing the ANBU agent had said to him, "Why, why did they do this, why do they want me dead, what did I ever do to them" asked Naruto as he repeatedly slammed his hand against the ground, the moon ninja sighed and said "People are like that kid, they become so wrapped up in their fear so paranoid by it that they will do anything to get rid of it, even destroying someone that means them no harm" explained the moon ninja as if he was speaking from experience. "Hmph, what would you know about it" asked Naruto angrily, the moon ninja sighed and said "Here kid, let me show you something", Naruto then leaned forward and looked at the moon ninja, the moon ninja then lifted up his jacket and shirt a little bit exposing his stomach, Naruto then scrambled backwards into the tree behind "What the hell are you doing" Naruto asked, freaking out at the moon ninjas actions. "You can relax I'm not like that, now just shut up and watch" yelled the moon ninja at Naruto with an annoyed expression on his face, Naruto then calmed down a little and then looked back at the moon ninja, "baka" the moon ninja said under his breath and then started to mold his charka, after a couple of seconds a familiar seal formed on his stomach. Naruto was shocked by this, 'He has a demon inside of him too' he thought as he looked at the moon ninja. The moon ninja straightened out his jacket and said "That is how I know kid, sealed inside of me is that Hachibi no hachimata (eight tailed dragon), although I must say then I got banished from my village wasn't quite as elegant as yours". "What happened to you" asked Naruto curiously.
The moon ninja took a deep breath and began "When I was baby they implanted an ancient demon within me that had been sealed in a sacred shrine, my father had died before I was born and the and the process of putting the hachimata within me killed my mother, I was all alone, left to be hated by the rest of my village, the only person to acknowledge my existence was my sensei, a friend of my parents, he was the one who taught me ninjutsu and how to control the hachimatas chakra" said the moon ninja. "everthing was fine until one day the some of the villagers decide to get rid of me, they cornered me and started too attack me and that is when it happened" said the moon ninja, "what happened" asked Naruto curiously, the moon ninja looked at him seriously and said "I transformed into the hachimata and killed them", Naruto became shocked when he heard this, "Only one of them survived, my sensei came just in time to stop me from killing him, but unfortunately the damage had already been dealt, after that we had to run away from the village, but they sent the ANBU after us and my sensei had to give his life to make sure that I got away, I've been by myself for 6 years now, but even after all they did I couldn't hate the moon village" the moon ninja said calmly.
"Why not, look at what they did to you" Naruto shouted failing to comprehend how he could forgive them, "My sensei's final words to me were to be safe and not to hate Getsugakure (village hidden under the moon)." Naruto was shocked by this but could understand his fellings, "Even if most of the people hated me there was still one person their who cared for me and that was enough for me to consider it home" the moon ninja replied, 'He's right' Naruto thought, even if there were many people who hated him there was still people their who cared for him.
"I was content to living by myself but 2 years ago I was attacked by a certain group" said the moon ninja, "Who attacked you" Naruto asked, almost anticipating what he was going to say next, "Have you ever heard of Akatsuki" the moon ninja asked Naruto, Naruto face crumbled in anger "Yes, I have" Naruto said, how could he forget them, it was because of Itachi that Sasuke left the Kohona in the first place, "Who attacked you" Naruto asked, the moon ninja scratched his head for a bit and said "well, they never gave me their names, but it was a tall guy that looked like a shark and a creepy guy with red eyes", "Itachi, Kisame" Naruto said angrily, "Oh, so that what their names where" said the moon ninja, "you must be as lucky as me if you were able to get away from them", "How did you escape" asked Naruto, "Well, I almost didn't, after that guy, Itachi was it, hit me with some weird illusion I was knocked unconscious, after that the hachimata took over my body and chased those guys off" replied the moon ninja, "I've been targeted a couple of times in the past put I've been able to avoid being captured, barely, it has been a long time since I have seen them however". "I don't know who they are, but I do know that they are targeting other people like us and that is inexcusable" said the moon ninja angrily, "We have already suffered so much for the defense of our village and now these guys are after us, I have trained hard to master the hachimatas chakra so I can destroy them".
"Exactly how much of the hachimatas chakra are you able to control" Naruto asked, "Currently I am able to control at least five tails completely, still working on number six" responded the moon ninja calmly, Naruto face was a mixture of shock and surprise, 'he can control five, I can barely control one' Naruto thought a little disappointed with himself, "You ok kid" the moon ninja asked a little worried, Naruto face turned serious he stood up and looked at the moon ninja with a look of determination, "I want you to train me, train me to control the kyuubis charka, so that I can take down Akatsuki and rescue my friend" Naruto asked the moon ninja, the moon ninja stood up and said "You're an interesting kid, sure I think I will, we can take down Akatsuki together" said the moon ninja "What is your name kid", Naruto grinned, put out his hand and said "Naruto Uzumaki", the moon ninja took Narutos hand and said "Sajin, nice to meet you Naruto", then they both shook hands, "Better get some rest" Sajin said, "training starts tomorrow and it won't be easy", "Wouldn't have it any other way" Naruto responded with a smirk, after that Sajin put out the fire and then went to sleep, before Naruto went to sleep he said, "Sakura, Iruka, everyone, I promise that I'll will see you again and I will resuce Sasuke", and with that Naruto fell asleep.
Unbeknownst to both Naruto and Sajin, Narutos supposed death had spread quite far and caught the attention of two interested group.
In the Sound village, Orochimaru was training Sasuke, Kabuto was off on the side watching, a sound ninja then appeared and Kabuto turned to face him. "Kabuto-sama, I have just received an important message regarding Kohona" the sound ninja said, "What is it" Kabuto asked with interest, the sound ninja then whispered the information into his ear, a small grin appeared on Kabutos face, "Really, that is interesting, your dismissed" Kabuto told the sound ninja, the sound ninja bowed and then disappeared. Kabuto then walked over to where Sasuke was training and said "Sasuke, can you come here for a minute, I have something to tell you". Both Sasuke and Orochimaru stooped their training and turned to face Kabuto, "What is it, I'm busy right now" Sasuke asked with an annoyed expression, "And here I thought you would be interested in what happened to Naruto" Kabuto said with a smug look. Both Sasuke and Orochimaru looked at Kabuto curiously, interested in finding out what had happened to the kyuubi container, Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said "It seems that after you left Kohona finally got fed up with him and killed him", Sasuke was surprised by this although it wasn't apparent on his face and a grin was starting to form on Orochimarus face, "It seems that your friend Naruto is dead" Kabuto finished. Sasuke then walked out of the training arena and said "I'm going to bed", as he walked down the hallway to his room he said "It seems you died after all Naruto", he almost regretted not killing him when he had the chance, at least that way he would have had the Mangekyo Sharigan.
Back in the training room Orochimaru sat down in his chair and began to laugh, "It seems that Kohona has finally done something useful to me" Orochimaru said contently, Kabutos face was more serious, "How do you think the Akatsuki will react to this" Kabuto asked, Orochimaru stooped his laughing and became serious as well, "they will continue their hunt for the other biju, but now they will be more pressed to capture them as quickly as possible" he responded, "however it they will also come after me sooner to get back what I took from them", Orochimaru then looked at his Akatsuki ring witch was on a table to his left, placed on his left little finger of what used to be his hands. "I'm still not ready to face them yet, even when I have Sasukes body it will very difficult to kill Itachi and him" Orochimaru said as he imagined the Akatsuki leaders cold eyed upon him, "What should we do now " asked Kabuto, "We are safe for now, Akatsuki won't attack me unless I mess with the other bijus, but for now I think it is safe for me to continue my attack on Kohona" Orochimaru said with a menacing grin, with that Orochimaru stood up and both he and Kabtuo walked out of the training room.
In a cave hidden of from the rest of the world the red clouds of Akatsuki gather.
"The last time we gathered like this was seven years ago, when Orochimaru left the group" Kakuzu stated. "That Orochimaru has gotten the Sharigan, Itachi is it your little brother" Zetsu asked, Itachi remained silent and emotionless seemingly unaffected by the news. "It will become difficult to retrieve the ring that he took if he takes over his body" said the unknown member. "Don't worry, yeah" Deidara said, "We'll eventually kill Orochimaru, but now we only have three years left, yeah", "What about the kyuubi, I heard that Kohona has killed it" Sasori asked, they all turned to look at their leader, but the leader didn't seem affected by it, his face was calm and emotionless as it always was. "The kyuubi is a unfortunate loss" the leader stated, "but we must press onward and hurry our capture of the other eight remaining bijus", "Itachi, Kisame" the leader said, both of the them looked at the leader, "since you target has been disposed of, you two ar now to capture the Rokubi no Raiju (six tailed thunder demon)". "Try not to lose this one, yeah" Deidara said jocklily, which earned him death glares from Kisame and Itachi. "Still, can we all complete our mission" Hidan asked, "That's right" the leader started, "Our purpose is to capture all the bijus and to get a hold on everything". With that images of the Akatsuki faded away.
end of chap.2- So, what did you think? Tell me what you think of my OC and please don't be TOO harsh. Please let me know! Next chapter will be set after the time skip and Naruto will run in with some of his friends! Here is also a little blooper I though of, tell me what you think.
""… and get a hold of everthing" the leader said, then suddenly who should appear but Tobi. "Hey guys, am I late for the meeting" Tobi said, they all turned to face the intruder, "Tobi, what the hell do you think your doing" asked the Leader, a little annoyed. "I came for the meeting" Tobi answered, "You can't be here Tobi, you aren't a member of Akatsuki" Kisame stated angrily, "Come on, why won't you guys let me join" Tobi whined, "We told you hundreds of times already, you can't join us there isn't an opening yet" Hidan yelled, "Come just let me join you guys, I'm a good boy" Tobi whined.
"Damn it all, Zetsu get him out of here" the leader ordered loudly, Zetsu then bowed and turned to face Tobi, 'uh-oh' Tobi, Zetsu then tackled Tobi and began to trash him. The cave was now filled with screams and punches, the leader rubbed his forehead trying to calm himself down, the rest of the Akatsuki looked at the fight in fornt of them, some with amusement others with annoyance, after a few seconds the image of Tobi was gone. "Which one you told how to contact us" asked the leader angrily, "It was Deidara" Sasori said pointing Hirukos tail at him, "Traitor" Deidara said to Sasori, with an annoyed expression the leader said "Sasori, if you would". Sasori nodded at then whacked Deidara hard upside the head with his tail. 'Baka' Itachi thought and then they all disappeared.
P.S: Akatsuki is the greatest criminal organization EVER, and those of you who don't think they are cool need to get their heads checked.
