Prototype ch.4
A/N: And responding to the Bat Cave comment by Delta:
I really did want to imitate the bat cave. Why the Jinchuuriki need a home base just like in Nine Broken Mirrors. But this one was just a cave, yes a freakishly huge ass cave but a base none the less.
Alright this is an inter-between or a connection chapter. I've noticed in many stories that they don't tell you what happens during the time skip which makes it very annoying.
Now I'm sure your all wondering what will happen to the good o'l ground spike, devastator attacks. I'll tell you this each of the main Jinchuuriki will have a devastator attack. I'll explain more in the story but the don't actually call them devastators the call e'm S-ranks.
Read all of it are you will not get the huge %ss improvements.
Also I have re updated this from KRP's review, and I would like to Say thank you for the review it was helpful. Also this is just an informative chapter not a real chapter.
The Ranking system from Highes to lowest
Kage's/Akatsuki/Sannin
High to Low Anbu
High to Low Jounin
High to Low Chunnin
High to Low Gennin
Ok the reason I put Kage's, Akatuski, and Sannin is because relatively they are fighting on the same field or usually fight against each other. A high anbu is lucky he/she can even take a Sannin/Akatsuki/Kage in a straight match. It would take 20 high level anbu to match a Mid kage
Now in ability ranks
Sakurais Mid Jounin or High Jounin. Age 15 Yes I know I'm O.P(over powering) her but she needs it why because she lost both her teammates so she threw herself onto her work barely stopping. She is nicknamed 'Bloody Blossom.' Got that inspiration from Legacy of Rasengan book 2. Now later on you'll see when she is pissed off at a certain someone.
The rest of the rookie nine including Gai's teamare now Jounins the lot of them. Their instructors work with them except for Kakashi who went back into Anbu. The loss of the blond enraged them. Each of them threw themselves on tougher and tougher harder missions. They had now crippled Oto in and of their missions and they take two missions minimum at one time unless it was S or A rank. Also their teamwork is flawless because they go on a lot of group assignments I mean A LOT OF THEM. They are nicknamed Konoha's 13 like Ocean's 13 I'm cool aren't I wink wink. And no Kakashi does not count being in ANbu
Now for the Jinchuuriki. I will hint at weapons or powers but I will not tell you the exact thing. If you have played the game then you will know what I am talking about.
Naruto- Age : 15
HIgh Anbu level without powers just ninjutsu, Taijutsu, he sucks at genjutsu. Ok why am I O.P. him, he's been fighting and training constantly for two years and he has not been lazy like he was Jariaya (where he only gained clever use of Kage Bunshin and a somewhat smarter brain) and he has gained Fire and Wind manipulation which he can add to his powers
Note: I will not give Naruto all of Mercers powers why because it would be too annoying to pick which one to use out of all of them. Instead I'll give them to the other Jinchuuriki with some perks. Mainly Naruto has gained the armor form, with his sword, along with gliding, running super fast, consumation, sight, sheild, and maybe some other stuff but that'll be much later
With his Mercer and elemental powers he is Mid Kage level for sure. By himself he could take Sasori, and Deidra and come out with no life threatening wounds but wounds nonetheless. But with his teams he could take on 4 Akatsuki and defeat them all with having a 50 % chance of having major wounds. The teamwork of the Jinchuuriki is high but the usually fight in pairs and use Pincer maneuvers.
Yuugito- Age 15 Low to mid Anbu. With no weapon. At that point she would be better off fighting Hidan and Kakuzu enough to escape but defeating them both is a different story. Now with her weapon, that I might add makes some guys squeal like fan girls, and her arsenal of lightening jutsu and her demonic chakra which she can lace over her weapon and body she is low Kage exactly. Once again same reason as Naruto she's been fighting. Her lightening jutsu ranges form sensing, enhancing, destruction and she has one healing. One more thing she has a Mercer like weapon that uses one hand and a devastator like move. Just think cat's tail
Mika- Age 17 Mid to High Anbu without weapon. Her jutsu array ranges from earth to Genjutsu.
She is F&cking good at genjutsu I mean like a genius. Doesn't need hand seals and is like Itachi 'You look at me you're ready in my genjutsu.'
She has two forms in frontal confrontations that are similar to mercer and they both deal with both hands. Not much a hint neh unless you have played [Prototype]. She also has (what I consider) two devastator attacks. With her genjutsu, Demon chakra, and Mercer like powers she is Mid kage like Naruto, hey she's 3rd strongest. And as a hint she gets a combo attack with Naruto.
Masahiro- Age 17 He is Low to Mid Anbu. With demonic powers, and Vials (I will not tell what they are) he is Low kage like Yugito.
He specializes in wide attacks or really destructive ones. Now he does not have a weapon because he doesn't need one outside his vials and yes I'll explain later. Masashiro has complete and I mean complete control over water like Gaara and his sand. Heck he plays with it while walking and whats really cool is that if he's pissed off at someone he'll suck out all the water out of someone. HE has one Mercer-like Devestator. Think water bending people, Ang-avatar form level of water bending.
Whew that was a really long A/N note but still it was necessary.
IF you did not read the A/N note GO BACK AND READ IT.
Now ON TO THE STORY
2 Years later
It was a dark night, cool, and wasn't windy at all. Just out of the border of Konoha and close to Kumo a group was heading to a slave den.
A dark blue haired boy around 15 walked towards the caravan. He wore a loose dark brown shirt, and a black pants. IN his hands were two chains. These chains were connected to two collars. These collars were holding two beauties.
One had long blond hair in a pony tail and dark blue eyes. She wore a light blue sleeveless vest. Her pants were black leather with buckles to keep them from shifting to often. These were tight as they were for alluring, or fighting.
The other one had short brown hair that was cut at the shoulder, her eyes were shades of different colors, five colors to be specific. Brown, red, pruple, aqua green, and dark blue clashing together in a swirl. IT was really hypnotizing and even more when she decided to use them. She wore a white shirt with a black jacket on top. Instead of pants she wore shorts also with buckles.
The group continued on their way to the slave den. IT stunk of piss, swat and bile. The group wrinkled their noses at it. The two girls were rudely dragged and pushed towards the end. They entered the office that smelt somewhat better but not by much.
The room was covered with scrolls and booze. There was a desk and a couch facing the desk. Sitting behind the desk was a short man with red hair that was thinning. He had a rough and unchecked beard. His eyes were disgusting in the sense of the darkness they held. You could classify him as a rapist, drug dealer, the scum of the land. He was all of things and he was proud of it.
"Ah you are that man with the lovely ladies." The man smiled but it was lecherous 110 times worse than Jaraiya for this man knew no limits.
The boy nodded
"These are the girls I talked mentioned in the scroll. How muhch are you willing to pay. But ill tell you I wont go under 15 000 Ryo … each "
The Man got up and walked around the girls nodding his head with his face still contorted in a grin.
"Reasonable I'll pay for both of them 30 000 Ryo then it is."
The boy smiled "Good, I would like to get the money first before I hand over the 'keys'"
The man just nodded his head again and went over to the picture of a naked girl to the right of his desk and moved it away. The man used a small knife to cut the his finger and then swiped his blood over the wall behind the picture.
A small square portion of the wall magically disappeared and several scrolls were seen lying in the small safe-like area.
The man started reach into it when he felt very weak. His body wouldn't move and he felt so thirsty oh so thirsty. He felt like he had been left in the desert for a week with no water. More and more he felt the need for water. HE could actually see his skin can shrivel up. Then he was loosing his eyes. He started to lose sight, his tongue had shrivled up long ago. 4 seconds later the man fell down as dust (ok not really dust but still).
Behind the man was the blue haired boy in his palm, upturned, was a swirling ball of water. He used his other hand and placed in on the other side of the orb and pressed his hands together. The orb of water grew smaller and smaller until it was no bigger than a small marble. He then took out a small flask. The water marble seemingly by itself went into the flash and filled the vial but it did not over flow.
"Hey Masa-kun hurry up and give us the keys I don't want to be attached like a pet any longer."
Masashiro turned around and raised his eye brows "But I like my puppy and kitty"
Masashiro's face was met by 2 kicks... one high and one low. After a minute of groaning in pain Masashiro tossed the keys to Mika.
She unlocked her collar and unlocked Yugitos for her.
"Thanks Mika-chan"
"Welcome Yu-chan" Yugito blushed at the name and then proceeded to stand by near the door incase anyone came in.
Masashiro went to the scrolls and started to pack them into a bag he had found. Mika started placing tags around the room for fireworks.. After Masashiro had finished packing the scrolls, Mika had finished laying an extra tag just in case. Yugito then did 3 hand seals and whispered Raiton: Thunder echo.
Just then Yugito placed a certain are on the wall. Mika nodded and went and placed her hand on the wall. Mika blinked and the wall suddenly disappeared revealing a recently carved tunnel and a blond hair boy standing in it. The blond haired boy was wearing a read shirt with a black jacket with a hood on it. His pants were dark grey.
"Yo guys" Naruto called out.
"Naru-kun" Yugito called out while glomping him.
Naruto sighed and pushed Yugito off "Come on lets go."
Naruto led the way with Yugito following. Masashiro followed right after and Mika was last since while she ran she had to close the tunnel.
An hour Later
They had finished their job and headed to a near by village. They walked in and went straight to their client, A blacksmith. They gave him the scrolls and he said thanks. IN return he gave them part of the money and Yugito's weapon.
At a restaurant
Naruto yawned and leaned back on his chair as he waited for his order. Masashiro had his signature sake bottle out and was toasting away.
Masashiro had a habit to toast to whatever he could. He would say toast to new friends, toast to killing people, toast to money, toast to toast, and even toast to Mika's fine and soft $ss. The last one got him sent 200 feet from his position and a couple broken bones.
Mika was molding some clay with her hands. She was a pretty good potter. She would first make something with just her hands like a swan or a sail boat and then ask Masashiro, beat the crap out of him and then ask in menacing tone whether he would rather be castrated, to make slip. After coloring the clay she had Naruto heat it. Her works were always sold for a high price since they wre so beautiful. Mika said she was saving up for some special clay that she would make the perfect thing piece out of and that one would never be sold.
Yugito was playing with a ball of yarn… Of all things she was like a cat in almost every way: Love of yarn, Love of Cat nip, Love of fish. At one time Masashiro tried saying her love of fish meant love of fish cake which meant Naruto. By the end of the day Masashiro was a bloody heap and a blushing Fox and Cat.
Naruto chuckled at the times he had beaten up Masashiro. Yea he was angry at that time but when he looked back those were great times. Naruto was snapped of musings when he noticed a small brown fox with a white tipped tale bounded towards him. In one jump it went right up onto Naruto's lap. IT stared into Naruto's eyes and Naruto stared back.
The fox yipped twice then circled around on his lap and laid itself down like it was nap time. Naruto just stared at the snoozing fox and chuckled. The other Jinchuuriki chuckled as well. Naruto gently stroked the fox and the little kit's twitched as it did. Naruto sighed contently Yes these were the days to live for.
But those days would soon end
Naruto cleared his throat and the antics of his 'family' stopped. "The first one we shall visit is in the new village of the WaterFall. We'll move then upwards to Iwa and then down into Swamp. Finally we shall go to Suna then Konoha.
Konoha
Tsunade sighed this was not good at all. Konoha was piling with missions and income but she was worried the people getting the income. Konoha thirteen as they were called were working to the bone. Heck they had more service time in the field then some anbu, Though Kakashi was far ahead of them while being in Anbu.
She wanted them to have a break and teach some teams but they wouldn't allow it. They just kept taking on more and more missions. Some of their families haven't seen them or even talked to them in months.
She was broken out of her musings when 4 jounins entered the office. Tsunade looked at them individually. The leaders of the Konoha 13. Sakura Haranou the Blood Blossom, Neji the Prodigy Hyuuga, Shino the Silent Assailant, and Shikamaru the Genius.
Sakura had earned her nickname from Oto and Kumo on a mission to Oto where she had single handedly took down 20 Chunnins. And she completed a rescue mission by herself to save her team that was pinned down in Kumo territory. She broke her way through and killed every living thing that stood in her way by simply crushing in their scroll. By the time she was done she was covered head to toe in blood and guts.
Neji received his from Konoha for beating every Hyuuga in single combat, while Shino had received his from Kiri and Iwa for his assassination of high political business men. He had killed them in the middle of a party and no one even knew they were dead until the next day when their body was found decaying in the chairs they were sitting in.
Shikamaru had earned his form Iwa, Oto and Kumo for leading 2 teams into confrontations with each Village and he had beaten each one perfectly, not a single casualty or major injury.
These four blazed the way leading missions and taking some solo ones. Since Naruto's disappearance there has been no record of failed missions in all of the Konoha 13.
Tsunade sighed. They were the best of the best. The news she got was disturbing and decided to call them in to help investigate.
"Jaraiya has been losing contacts over the last few days; they disappear without a trace or any evidence as to who killed them. Near the time of the disappearances the spies we have left get information that a group of four is working a job nearby."
Shikamaru eye brows raised, his mind working as fast as Gai could run, "Are you saying they are connected"
Tsunade nodded "100% of the time we have received word that they are there, the only problem is that we have descriptions in some files still needing some confirmation but at least we do have suspects. Their clients also refuse to give info on them"
Shikamaru closed his eyes and muttered "Troublesome"
After a couple seconds he opened eyes "Do you want us to go after them"
Tsunade shook her head "Not yet we don't know whose side they are on but you will in the future."
Sakura spoke up this time "Then what have you called us here for."
Tsunade sighed this would probably be the worst part "We have had reports that Uzumaki Naruto has been sighted"
Time froze for the leaders of Konoha 13. Naruto, Their Naruto, the Naruto that made them sweat, bleed, and fight to avenge. The reason behind their suicidal effort, their determination, their principles of never backing down nor leaving a team behind. That Naruto, the ball of sunshine that was taken from them.
Silence held Sakura spoke her voice unsure, unsteady of the news she had just received
"Is he coming back?"
Tsunade sighed, her face fell "Do you remember what I said earlier about the group that had been taking out clients."
All four nodded. "The leader is suspected to be—"
At that point Shikamaru had figured it out, he knew that it was likely but he prayed he was wrong "Naruto… Naruto is the leader of the group."
Tsunade nodded. "When this news came back I asked to see if he had any affiliations or anything that looked similar."
"He doesn't have the necklace or his headband but his group calls him Naruto."
Sakura sighed her fingers running through her hands. Though she was schooling her features, her green eyes was brimming with tears. "Is there anything else"
Tsunade shook her head "You may leave"
The 4 leaders of the 13 left the office. Tsunade sighed and went to the windows and covered them, she looked the doors, she took a sake a bottle and bowl. She sat the dark mourning praying that her thoughts were wrong and no one saw her. In the end she would act normal for Hokages were the pillar in which everyone stood on.
A/N: How did you like it? Please reveiew give suggestions. This is a mock chapter because it describes the time skip and what they did. The real story line will happen next chapter.
This is KRP's review and I'm gonna break it down and explain
KRP: Eh, its a fine chapter. One question, though; who exactly is part of the Konoha 13? If you include the senseis, that totals up to 14. Or, is Kakashi not considered part of this group because he returned to ANBU?
Tenchi: All the rookies and their sensei plus Lee's team with sensei except for Kakashi, who went into Anbu.
KRP:. Oh, and you're little power synopsis at the beginning was kinda annoying. You focused so much on trying to hint at their powers without giving too much away, that it didn't tell anything at all.
Tenchi: Well to tell you the truth I didn't want to give it away and plus their styles and weapons are still a work in progress. The problem with the story I have so far (or at least I think) is that I may make everyone Op and taking on Akatsuki looks like a tea party.
KRP: Naruto's already displayed some of Alex Mercer's powers, now you're saying he has some, but not really clarifying what he does and doesn't have. And you'll need to better explain just how three other people are showing infection powers, and still being relatively normal.
Tenchi: OK They really don't have the powers but their powers were inspired by Alex's Powers. They powers or weapons are based on those powers they are not infected. (I hope that answers it)
Krp: Now that I'm done being slightly over-critical, let's get to the more fun stuff. I'm not entirely convinced that Masashiro(long name there..)'s observation about Yugito's and Naruto's relationship is all that wrong. Kinda fits, doesn't it? :) heh,, poor Masashiro, everyone's beating on him all the time. He's got to have developed a high pain tolerance.
Tenchi: Lol well anyways no that is the relationship its just that the Fox and the Cat are shy
KRP: You know, if Shino is supposed to be a Silent Assailant, how does everyone know it's him? Wouldn't that imply that he got caught, or someone in Konoha's leaking info? And it seems that Naruto is still consuming Jiraiya's (was spelt wrong, btw) spy network, huh?
Tenchi: Nah Shino took credit for it afterwards. Wanted to spread his name and fear. Konoha is putting up a front that its new generation is the strongest yet. (And their doing a pretty D^mn good job at it too)
Krp: I guess it doesn't help that they're activly trying to gain the info Naruto's group is looking for. ..hmm...they need a public name. Something that their clients would call them..'Hunters' or something. Calling themselves Jinchuuriki would paint a giant bulls-eye on who they are, what they're doing, even their powers (to a lesser extent), in the eyes of the Akatsuki.
Tenchi: Well they shall remain anonymous. Remember they are quite new since they got out of their cave only about a couple months ago.
Tenchi: I Really hope this answers your questions or anyone for that matter. If you have any suggestions or questions at all please review and I'll answer in my writing.
