Midnights fade
Chapter 3
Just to point out that Sasuke learnt the rasengan through Kakashi, he may be a prick but he's a good ninja and I think if he really wanted to learn how to do the rasengan then he properly guess the process surrounding it but his properly wouldn't be as strong as Naruto's because he didn't learn properly.
Anko won't be in this chapter because I haven't got any reviews yet about where it should go.
Reviews make me type more and you can shape what ill do because I take every review into consideration.
Naruto woke from his drunken slumber with a headache and I intense craving for greasy food. last night, or what he could remember of it was the most fun he had ever had and all they had done had gone to a pub and gotten drunk and sat around shouting, playing games, entering drinking competitions and talking. Naruto discovered that because of the Kyubbi he didn't get drunk as fast as other people because he burnt the alcohol out of him quite fast.
Though it did help him with the hangover the next day not as effectively as he had first hoped because he still felt the headache. Naruto was surprised at who Anko's friends ended up to be and how many of them he had never seen before the only ones he knew were Ibiki and Hayate from the chunin exams the others he assumed were anbu or just really private but he was amazed at how young they were, not quite as young as him but young to be as high ranking as they were. Naruto realised that that's were he should be he was jealous of the kids that graduated a year or two earlier than him even though they were the same age but he realised that there was a separate group of people that were on a completely different level to
He decided that after he had relaxed and had a day off he properly should get back to training and get some use out of the holiday but he wanted to go and see if he could get a mission first.
Naruto jumped out of bed eager to begin his first mission but nervous to everyone seemed to be suggesting that he needs to get his first kills out of the way before he becomes and efficient ninja and maybe they were right he planned on sitting outside the mission centre and picking up the first good mission that comes his way.
But not until after breakfast he was fucking hungry. He raided his kitchen and getting the dregs of everything left and mixing it all together and putting it the microwave and eating it all so he better get some money from a mission today because he was out of food and spent all his money on alcohol last night and dinner.
Naruto walked down to the mission centre and took a seat at the cafe across the road and pulled out the scroll that Anko had given him that had the smoke techniques in it and began to read about each technique looking over which one he thought would be most useful for the mission ahead but that he could still learn today the first bone on the list was a chakra control technique that makes you control the smoke once its left your mouth and make shapes
'maybe a little advanced' Naruto thought grimly so he skipped it and went on to the second technique which was the hidden smoke jutsu just like the hidden mist just it uses smoke.
Naruto looked ahead at the other jutsus.
Poison smoke jutsu-which was just an adaptation of the hidden smoke but when you breathe it out its poisonous.
Smoke clone jutsu- a clone technique there the clone doesn't disperse when it's been hit because it's made of smoke but it cant do any damage to anyone.
Fire smoke jutsu-which made a mist that is made of flammable gas but unrecognisable from the ordinary hidden smoke jutsu
And the final one the scroll was freezing smoke jutsu- an ice cold mist that will lower the temperature drastically in the are the Smokey mist is in and is a good jutsu to use in an enclosed area when your enemy can't get out of and just freeze to death.
Other than the smoke clone jutsu it seemed they were all adaptations of the hidden smoke jutsu but he was ecstatic these jutsus were insane.
Naruto pulled the pack of smokes out of his pocket and lit one up and started going through the hand seals before blowing small amounts of smoke out of his mouth he tried to use small amounts of chakra then larger amounts but the only thing it changed was the density of the smoke not how much he blew out any the scroll gave him no details on the matter which frustrated him they never give instructions on jutsu scrolls which is so fucking annoying.
He was taking a brake when he heard laughing behind him. Naruto assumed it was at his expense and turned to give whoever it was a beating only to see it was Asuma. Shikimaru, Choji and Ino's teacher with a smoke in his mouth chuckling at his attempt to do the smoke jutsu.
"Your going the wrong way about this you know" Asuma muttered taking a drag of his smoke "you need to be able to do the first chakra exercise before you can use that jutsu so you can manipulate how big the smoke area is. You kids are always going straight for the jutsu when the chakra is way more useful and important" then he paused "but I like your commitment...if you have any trouble with the other jutsus on that scroll then come past ill help you out". He then started to walk away before looking back "I heard you got suspended it...sucks kid but don't worry about it im sure when you come get back to work after the month it will all seem better " and walked out of the cafe.
Naruto leaned back in his chair and lit up another smoke and looked the technique over before dismissing it. He needed better control to do that but then he remembered didn't Kyubbi tell him of a control exercise involving... explosions. Naruto grinned before pulling out a few of his hairs and started putting chakra into it only for the hair to completely annihilate the piece of hair and to see it burn to pieces. Naruto kept on pushing his chakra into the hair and kept getting the same result but now it didn't burn so extensively just singed and all ways keeping an eye on the mission centre looking for someone looking really upset and just as he had finally gotten the hair straight and not burned he spotted a couple across the road looking devastated after leaving the mission centre and to have the hair explode in his hand.
"What the fuck ow" Naruto yelped and waved his hand around before getting up and running over to the couple.
"Hey old man, hold up" He said as he caught up with them "what's up why are you so upset what happened?"
The old man looked at him and said "we have some thugs squatting on our farm and they have kidnapped our daughter but we don't have enough money to pay for any ninjas to get her back".
"Well what do you both do for work?" Naruto asked.
The old man looked confused before answering "my wife and me breed exotic animals".
"Well tell you what give me whatever money you can afford and one of those exotic animals and ill get rid of these thugs for you" Naruto said with a grin.
"You could do that! Are you sure? You look young" The couple said looking thrilled at the thought that they would have there daughter back.
Naruto had a huge smile on his face this was his chance "don't worry about me I know what im doing. Now on the way back to your farm you can tell me what I have to do".
As they walked the man who said his name was Toki said how a bunch of thugs about fifteen or twenty were squatting at the bottom of their farm so the family just left them alone but last night they came in, trashed their house and kidnapped there daughter kiera
Naruto stated formulating a plan in his head maybe if he went in at night and just killed them all in there sleep.
They arrived at the farm and Naruto waited until nightfall before starting to get ready with explosive tags and his black outfit again and went out for the hunt.
He walked quietly down to the bottom of the farm and saw the tents that he assumed the thugs were in, one guard and the naked body of kiera tied to a poll. Naruto, who was nervous about killing these thugs earlier felt clarified as he walked around the back of the tents and snuck up behind the guard and slowly pulled his kunai out and remembered back to his academy days 'three ribs up for guys four ribs up for girls'.
Naruto counted three ribs up on the guards back before covering the guard's mouth and ramming the kunai through into his lungs and held the man tight as he struggled in Naruto's arms before he lowered the dead man to the ground.
Naruto looked down at his hands to see them covered in blood he shook his head and cleared away any guilt he felt. he could feel guilty when he got home but he couldn't afford to feel guilty at the moment he needed to concentrate so he snuck over and untied kiera and gave her his jacket and told the crying girl to wait for him to exit so she doesn't get ambushed on the way back or make to much noise and wake up the rest of the thugs.
he snuck into each tent slitting throats and stabbing man after man getting bloodier and bloodier but when he entered the last tent he saw the man inside already awake and looking straight at him.
And he had a kunai in-hand.
And he had a headband with a slashed through the Konaha symbol.
"...".
"...".
"Ahh fuck me a missing Nin" Naruto swore under his breath.
The other Ninja made the first move throwing the kunai at Naruto who only just managed to dodge it, and then didn't even have the time to blink before he caught a boot with his face.
Naruto flew across the clearing and into a tree before trying to dodge another kunai but getting it stuck in his shoulder.
Naruto knew that this was a fight he was going to lose if he didn't step up his game so Naruto ran into overdrive throwing every punch as quickly and with as much force as he could hoping the other ninja would slip up and Naruto would get a lucky shot.
after seeing that he was unsuccessful he jumped back shouting "Kage Bushin no Jutsu" and was surrounded by nearly a hundred clones but they dwindled quickly as the ninja used techniques Naruto had never even heard of destroying his clones before Naruto could formulate any type of plan then he had an idea.
It was time to play dirty.
The ninja watched Naruto try and summon more clones before collapsing 'the brat has chakra exhaustion' the ninja thought before laughing this fight wasn't even a challenge. He walked over to his downed opponent and picked him up by the scruff of the neck.
"you have to be stronger than that to beat someone as good as me" said the ninja as he turned the body round to face him only to see that the boy had explosive tags covering his stomach.
The ninja turned to see the real Naruto sitting in a tree of to the side smiling grimly "boom" Naruto whispered as the explosive tags detonated blowing the other ninja away but as the smoke cleared Naruto noticed that although in bad shape the ninja was still alive.
Slowly he walked after the ninja who looked like his legs were both broken and missing and arm.
"Please...please have mercy on me ill do whatever you want just don't kill me" the ninja begged seeing no reason to try and keep his honour intact.
Honour was useless to a dead man.
The ninja saw something falter in the boy's eyes a look of hesitance as he looked at the crippled body of his enemy.
'What harm can he do now he looks like shit' Naruto reasoned with himself but as he turned to leave the man kiera who he had all but forgotten about looked at Naruto appalled
"please kill him...he...he raped me" kiera whispered quietly and for the first time Naruto actually noticed the girl tightly rapped in his jumper blonde hair and tanned skin, a bit dirty and bloody but he thought she would be beautiful if she had time to wash but that's not what caught his attention.
She was about his age and someone had raped her.
Naruto turned back to the ninja who now was trying to crawl away from him when Naruto felt something rise inside him he wasn't just angry he didn't want to just kill this guy he wanted to taste his blood and tear him limb from limb but as he got more and more angry the red chakra rushing out of him in waves suddenly made form as a smaller copy of Kyubbi attached to his body through the chakra started running at the man who continued to try and escape before mini-Kyubbi split into three as it/they latched onto him and started tearing chunks out of his skin eating him alive.
Naruto watched in fascination and discussed as he found he could feel this extension of his body devouring the ninja.
Its prey.
Naruto and kiera stood and watched as the ninja slowly disappeared and the mini- Kyubbi got bigger before it resided into Naruto's body without a sound and Naruto summoned as 50 clones to search the bodies and then detonate them with explosive notes and destroy all the bodies as Naruto walked over the what remained of the body of the missing-nin.
Just the head sat staring with eyes filled with terror and for some reason that made Naruto feel good.
Let his enemies fear him as he remembered to put the head in a bad to take back to Konaha so he can claim whatever bounty was on it but not before he took the headband of the ninja.
Ibiki had told him that you should always keep the headband of the person you killed to honour them even if they were bad people they were warriors and all warriors deserved to be honoured.
He put the headband in his back pocket as he heard the bangs of the clones destroying the other bodies and packing up everything they owned including tents and jewellery and beginning there trip back to Konaha while Naruto went back to the farm house to receive his payment and collect his animal. One of the clones, knowing Naruto was cold threw him a black hoddie with the word STALKER on the back in blood red writing that he quickly put on. Walking back up he thought about what he had just done.
he just killed quite a few people nearly twenty is this what being a ninja means, to sneak around killing people in there sleep then he felt something latch onto his arm.
He turned to see kiera hugging his arm.
Maybe being a ninja meant you had to kill people sometimes to protect innocent people.
When he arrived at the farm house Toki and his wife ran out to greet them hugging there daughter and thanking Naruto and pushing a fair amount of money into his hands more than he ever expected or even hoped for.
Maybe he was going to get more business then he thought if it cost more than this to hire a ninja.
Toki led Naruto out the back, while his wife checked kiera over, to where there were rows of cages as he walked he saw dozens of animals as he walked he asked if any of the animals were ninja compatible and received a negative answer but he saw a row of snakes that said poisonous resisting the urge to skip them just because they were snakes he looked through them before one caught his eye it was a rusty red colour and blended and was about the two arms length.
"What's this snake?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Well actually" Toki laughed nervously "I have no idea and I know snakes well...in fact I consider myself an expert".
"How poisonous is he?" Naruto muttered mesmerised with the snake's scales.
"its the most poisonous snake iv ever seen it kills almost instantly when it bites but if you get the poison on someone's skin they get hallucinations for hours on end" Toki said almost proudly.
"Ok ill take him" Naruto said and opened the cage to take him out when he swung out and sunk his fangs into Naruto's arm and Naruto felt the poison course through his body but he also felt the kyubbi's chakra speeding through his veins destroying the poison and he soon felt the poison dissolve.
Toki looked at Naruto with surprise but zones it out 'must be a ninja thing' thought Toki timidly. As the snake struck him a few more times then just gave up and slithered up his arm and into the sleeve and wrapped itself around his body.
"Ok my jobs done I think ill be one my way and its already early morning" Naruto said and began walking off the farm only to be ambushed by kiera and kissed on the cheek. Kiera, who now had washed and been clothed look gorgeous, blushed and asked him to come visit sometime before going back inside. Naruto just smiled, shook his head and walked out the gate.
Naruto decided to take his time walking home as he just strolled and concentrated on kyubbi's technique.
He almost had it down pat as he could now straighten his hair and throw it at a tree hard enough for it to go about an inch in but he had yet to try and get it to explode. From what he could gather you needed to manipulate you chakra to the level that when you put your chakra into it you can compress it then throw it and have it uncompress when it hits something or after a certain amount of time. He assumed it was like the rasengan in a way as you needed to compress and control the chakra in that one as well so he continued to try as he walked and continued to hurt himself as he did it.
Every time he tried to compress the chakra he added another layer of chakra to push down on it but the piece of hair is only strong enough to hold so much chakra so it exploded in his hands a lot.
Before soon he was at the gate of the village and after showing his passport to the guards he entered and decided to go home to bed it had been a long night.
As he walked down the main street he lit up a smoke and continued watching the horrified looks he was getting from passing people.
He turned into the mission office and walked straight past Kakashi and team seven as he was going and nodded towards Asuma and Kurenai as he did, Kurenai was there on the night they went drinking he didn't talk to her much but it was only polite to acknowledge her and Asuma was trying to help him with his training both put were put in the good books.
Naruto continued up to the front counter waving to Ibiki as he was also there.
Ibiki grinned at him as he walked past and nodded to the bag in Naruto's hands "What did you bring to show the class Naruto" Ibiki said. Naruto knew that he was talking about the other rookies as he kept saying that until you get your first kill you shouldn't be let out of the class room.
"To tell you the truth I never caught his name but he is from this village and he had a cut through his headband so I brought him in" Naruto said smiling under the attention he was getting from Ibiki "maybe you will know him" he said as he pulled out the head and placed it on the desk.
Ibiki picked up the head and spun it round examining it before whistling "nice... no cuts no bruised almost perfect condition... you singed the hair a bit but other than that perfect kill.
What did you do with the body?" he questioned by now most of the people in the mission office were looking over at there exchange.
"blew it to pieces with explosive tags then blew the pieces up with even more explosive tags" Naruto said with a frown he wondered if there was a specific way you needed to dispose of the body.
"As I said, perfect. This guys name is in the bingo book not very high up but its properly best you didn't go after a big dog" throwing the open bingo book to Naruto.
A rapist.
A murderer.
A child molester.
A dead man.
"Get washed up and ill buy you a beer tonight at the saint's bar. Everyone's going" Ibiki said as he walked out.
He got good money for his head and his name got put into the bingo book next to his kill so people would know who got who.
Naruto looked at himself in a mirror before walking out of the mission centre. He looked like a psycho his hair was matted with blood and it ran up his arms and legs making him look like he had just bathed in blood.
Naruto went to walk out of the centre when he was stopped by Sasuke who grabbed him by the shoulder only to have something under Naruto's shirt wrap around his wrist and arm and start crushing is and a nasty looking spake reared out of the neck of Naruto's shirt and went to sink its fangs into an Ukiah.
"STOP" Naruto shouted as it was about an inch from Sasuke and was surprised to see the snake freeze and recede back into Naruto's hoddie but not yet letting go of his wrist then suddenly it pulled its tail in lightning fast slicing Sasuke's arm right were the snake was.
Sasuke yelped in surprise as he fell back his arm bleeding and Naruto began to leave again ignoring the yells and one seriously high pitched scream coming from behind him but only some of them were angry, kuranai, Asuma, and both there teams excluding Ino and some of the other ninja's seemed to enjoy the show where Kiba openly cheered but the majority of the room were pissed off... more so then before.
Naruto jogged home and started washing off the blood before going out and buying some actual ninja clothes and going out clothes spending money on everything from whole suits to wife beaters (singlets).
He then proceeded to go to the ninja equipment store and bought a new kunai holster that instead of being a pouch was a belt that sat around both ankles and the back of his shoulder blade for easy access.
Before long it was time to meet Anko, Ibiki and the others and he dressed up in a red long sleeve shirt with a black vest and black leather pants with the spiral on the back of his vest in white.
Anko's crowd seemed a lot more open around him tonight because they could trust him now to be ready to kill and not hesitate if one of them got in trouble and many beers were shouted for him... until they found out that he god a good payroll for not only the mission but the missing-nin then it seemed to be his shout a lot but Naruto didn't mind it was the first time he had been happy in a long time, people were actually accepting him and he loved it drinking until early in the morning he got very, very, very drunk and blanked out.
he woke late in the morning to flash back memories of biting and scratching thinking he had gotten into a fight only to feel an arm draped over his chest 'maybe it was a long fight... and we got our clothes ripped off... and we were fighting on a bed... and...err...err...we got simultaneous knockout yeah that's what happened' Naruto told himself before opening an eye and seeing a girl he had never seen before next to him and he wasn't in his bed 'she's cute' before it sank in that there was a naked girl on him. Naruto thought about going back to sleep before he saw Ibiki Anko and most of the guys at the window signalling for him to sneak out.
He didn't quite understand until Anko breathed on the window and wrote
'One night stand BAIL! '
Naruto slowly took the girls arm off of him then stood slowly not noticing that he was completely naked and there were five guys and Anko at the window watching he quickly gathered his clothes and noticed that he was missing his shirt.
He turned to the window and mouthed fuck with large emphasis as he saw that she was lying on his shirt and he began back to the bed before turning round to see people betting for and against him.
he slowly started to roll her off his shirt being as gentle as possible and having succeeded held down the urge to cheer but not wanting to feel like an asshole left his number by the bed before climbing out the window quietly but as soon as he closed it the group cheered and money started transferring hands a Hyugga girl getting the most of it.
Seeing Naruto's questioning look Kardon, one of the guys who was about 17 that Naruto got on particularly well with laughed.
"She won three bets" answering Naruto's silent Question "she bet you would pick up that girl and won she then bet that you would have sex with her and she bet that you would get out without getting caught".
"its all in the magic eyes" the Hyugga girl laughed "but thanks kid" she whispered to him "good going too she's a cute one" before walking off with a wave.
"Look this is all really fun" Naruto said with a yawn "but im still pretty tired so I might get some shut eye".
"Im not surprised your tired" hollered Kardon much to the amusement of everyone else.
Naruto sighed "fuck you" but he smiled anyway "goodnight" he said loudly over his shoulder as they wolf whistled and hollered at him as he walked off struggling to hide his grin.
When Naruto got home he pretty much passed out on the bed buggered not even taking off his clothes.
I had Anko plans for this one but ill let it wait till I had more people's opinion though I hope you like the what im doing with the story its pretty fun to right.
