Chapter 5 Naruto: Tobikomu Kitsune
(I BREAK THE PAGE! FEAR ME!)
Summary: The Yondaime was a Fuuinjutsu master, but he was only human. An unintended gap in the Shiki Fuuin left the village at risk, but… The Kyuubi isn't taking advantage of it? Kushina's alive? Good!Kyuubi, Alive!Kushina, Smart!Powerful!Naruto!
Key;
"Vegeta, what does…" Normal speaking
'The scouter say…' Thoughts/ flashbacks
"About his power level?" Demonic speech
'IT'S OVER 9000!' Demonic thoughts
Jutsu names
Naruto: Ok, I get it.
Me: Yeah. Either way, you could have just asked. I'm willing to let you in here as long as you don't mess up the plot.
Naruto: Ok. Ooooh, what's that button do?
Me: This. [Hits button, sending Naruto through a trapdoor] Bye! Now, on with the story!
(Broken!)
"Whoever invented D-ranks deserves to be tortured for eternity."
"You've said that before, but I see where you're coming from. I had to do it as a Genin too."
"Can't we do a C-rank? I'm sick of catching that dang cat."
"Ask Hokage-sama about that Naruto." Team 8's Jounin sensei, Kurenai, said as they walked into said man's office.
"I don't know, Naruto-kun, do you think we're ready?"
"Of course Hinata-chan, we've been training for about a month now." Hinata blushed.
"Oi, Jiji! Can we have a C-ranker today?" Sarutobi nodded, and pulled out a scroll with a green label on it.
"Alright… Ah! Here we go. You four will be escorting a bridge builder home to Nami no Kuni."
"Threat level?"
He shook his head. "Not high, Kurenai-san. Now, come in Tazuna-san." He added.
A drunken old man walked into the office. "Hn... Are these the people who are gonna protect me? Three brats and a chick?" He said, slurring his words together.
"Jeez, you're drunk." Naruto remarked.
"I swear to drunk I'm not god." He shot back.
"I believe you have that backwards, Tazuna-san." Shino added his two cents.
"Anyways," Naruto cut in, ending the argument, "Meet us at the north gate in a half hour."
{Later….}
The group of travelers was walking along when they spotted a puddle. 'A puddle? In the middle of summer, when it hasn't rained for days?' ran through Naruto and Kurenai's minds. Naruto whispered,"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." As they passed it two men rose out of the puddle only to meet with a fist to the face.
"Kage bunshin forever!" one Naruto crowed, standing on top of them a few moments later.
"Should I really be surprised anymore?"
"Nah." The real Naruto stated, turning to her, "The strategy isn't really hard to grasp, just ambush the ambush."
"No, I mean at your ability to come up with plans like that and execute them at the drop of a hat." She looked at the attackers, then to Tazuna. "The Demon Brothers… What have you been hiding, Tazuna?"
O_o "Well, um, you see, um. Gato has Nami in lockdown, and he is sucking us dry! I am building the bridge to save our country!"
Kurenai looked at Naruto. "It's your call," She said, shrugging her shoulders.
"… You Do realize that this is a B-rank mission now, with the potential to become A?"
"Wait, why do you defer to him? Isn't he your pupil?" Tazuna asked.
"Cuz I'm awesome."
"Naruto-kun? I think we should help him." Hinata said.
"I agree with Hinata-san. It would also make Nami indebted to Kohona, which could be beneficial to us."
"True, but we are getting paid for it, so it doesn't really count as a favor. And, I doubt Jiji is going to use that as leverage over them." Naruto replied to Shino. "So, let's keep going!" They began heading to the boat that would take them into Nami and departed. As they passed under the bridge, Shino sensed a strong presence.
"Naruto-san," Shino whispered urgently, "My kikai sense a Jounin level ninja in the area. I advise that we be on guard."
"Shino, I didn't know your kikai enabled you to sense enemies." Hinata commented in a hushed voice.
"Really? I thought we covered it in class." Naruto replied. They walked off the boat onto the shore. "Might want to be prepared though." He said, unsealing a katana from his scroll. It had a blood red blade edged with diamond, and an emerald in the stone hilt.
"Is this the sword you have been telling us about Naruto?" Kurenai inquired.
"Yeah. My Kaa-chan had Jitsuryoku made for me so she could teach me to use her kenjutsu style, Kakusareta-te (Concealed Hand). The group got off the boat and continued walking.
(… What are you looking at?)
AN: I'll end it here.
Sorry for not updating in so long. I've had a hard time thinking of how to continue this.
Till' Next time!
