Chapter-6
'Oh Kami I didn't think that she heard me' thought Naruto as he looked down onto the ground and tightened his hold onto Tenten. 'Baka, now what will you do…ok think Ramen think on how to get your mask back on' thought Naruto frantically as he forced his mask back on and looked at Tenten.
"What do you mean...you what know forget it how about some Ramen." Said Naruto as he picked himself back up and turned around.
"Baka why do you do this" asked Tenten in an angry voice.
Naruto could tell that his mask was already breaking again.
"Naruto" said Tenten trying to get Naruto to turn around.
"Don't" was all Naruto said as he started to walk away.
"Don't what, you're the one pushing everyone away while I'm trying to help you I'm trying to be a friend!" Yelled Tenten as she felt her eyes start to water up 'why am I crying there's no point to cry over this…then why would I' thought a confused Tenten.
"A friend…" Naruto said quietly but not quiet enough for Tenten to not hear "you know all my life that's all I wanted. My whole life I have been trying to make a true, no, just a friend and here I am I finally have someone wanting to be one but then I would have to tell you" Naruto then started to laugh louder and louder.
Tenten stood there confused she was about to pound him into dust until he stopped and slowly turned around and looked at her. Again she saw his eyes now they where a mix of the cold ice and heart-warming blue, like they were fighting for dominance over one another.
"Tell you what we become friends and if I trust you enough over time then I will tell you my curse but in return I want to hear your worst moment in life," said Naruto as he put out his hand so they could shake on it.
'He wants to know my worst moment in life' thought Tenten as her memories started to flash through her mind and all she saw was blood everywhere in them. Her eyes started to tear up as she remembered them. She quickly wiped her tears and looked at his hand "only if you tell me your 'course' first" said Tenten as she grabbed his hand.
"Deal" and with that said he shook her hand.
"Now what did you say about Ramen" asked Tenten as she walked up to him.
"Tenten what are you doing with that dope" asked a male voice from behind them but they both knew who it was.
"Well last I checked this dope beat the living shit out of you" yelled Naruto as he stepped in front of Tenten and put her behind him. 'God I hope I don't have to fight him if I do I know I'll lose if he takes me seriously' thought Naruto as he went into the Akkiheki first defense stance with his body to the side and his legs a shoulder length apart he forced chakra into his legs and feet so he would be like a wall. Then he placed his right arm next to his waist with the hand curled into a fist and his left hand in a straight down his left leg also curled into a fist. "Now if you want a rematch I would be glad to whoop your ass a second time," said Naruto with a smirk.
Neji smirked and slid into his Juken stance and activated his byakugan "you will not beat the Hyuuga prodigy" said Neji as his smirk disappeared "just know this it will be a cold day in hell when a 'dope' beats a genius much less a Hyuuga genius" said Hyuuga as he charged Naruto.
Neji tried to close off one of the tenketsu's (chakra points) in Naruto's legs to make his defense fall, but Naruto quickly swiped his hand away with his left hand. In addition, attempted to punch him in the gut with his right hand but this punch had chakra in it to add some 'kick' to it. Neji quickly saw this and pushed his hand away, which left Naruto open on the back right side, and he quickly closed off a few tenketsu's in his right leg and jumped back.
"I have to admit that stance is a good defense stance, but not when attacked from your back which, might I add, is always wide open" said Neji indifferently as he slid back into his Juken.
"You're completely right which is why it's the first defensive stance of the Akkiheki now I mastered all but one stance lets see how well you can stand to the second to last offensive stance of the Akkiheki." Said Naruto as he turned to Neji, reopened his tenketsu's, and slid into his next stance which had both legs once again a shoulder width apart, but no chakra was put into them. He didn't turn his body any he just stood straight and put both arms bent and on his waist and his hands where in a fist.
"This style is meant to beat those who have an unfair advantage like a kekkei genkai (blood limit,)" said Naruto as he waited for Neji to strike first.
"STOP PLEASE STOP THIS IT'S POINTLESS," screamed Tenten as she felt more tears start to fall down her cheeks.
"No it has a point he want to regain what he lost and he can only do that by defeating me" said Naruto in an easy calm voice.
"Tenten he's right when I lost to him I know that I ,a Hyuuga, lost his honor I must win it back and this is the only way so says fait" said Neji before Tenten could argue anymore he charged Naruto again, but this time for some reason he had a smirk as well as Naruto.
Neji thrust his palm forward to try and hit Narutos' chest only to hit air and sensed chakra behind him, but before he could turn around he felt a kick to his back and he went flying straight only to be kicked in the chin and blasted into the air.
'How…can he…be…so…fast' thought Neji as he saw the blue sky above him and a flock of bids fly threw it 'hmm how I wish to be a bird free of my cage' thought Neji as he smirked but the he felt a foot connect with his back. Then he went flying off the fourths head and through the air until he felt himself falling. 'I will not lose to a dope with no name' thought Neji as he quickly went threw some hand seals and in a puff of smoke disappeared. "I thought I would never need a jutsu again after I graduated but I guess Shunshin no Jutsu came in handy, I'm going to have to thank Iruka fir teaching us it in the academy." Neji said from the roof of a building then he felt a presence behind him and quickly turned and blocked a straight punch that was aimed for his gut. "You're good you proved yourself to not be a dope, might I know your name," asked Neji.
"I already told you it," answered Naruto as he pulled his fist back.
"Yes I know but I didn't pay attention to it I only remember names of importance and now you are worthy in my book as being a man with a name and not a label" replied Neji as he slid back into his Juken stance.
"Uzumaki, Uzumaki Naruto" said Naruto as he slipped back into his stance.
"Thank you and Naruto and now let's finish this, I'm not going to under estimate you now," said Neji.
"I wouldn't expect you to," said Naruto as he attacked first this time.
Naruto threw a punch to Neji's face only for it to be dodged and countered by Neji's hand aimed at Naruto's main tenketsu in the gut. It was to fast for Naruto to doge, he was hit from behind, and there was a blast of chakra through Naruto. The blast left a hole in his jacket in the front and in back. Naruto froze where he was as the pain spread all over his body. Neji moved out of the way panting heavily and turned around as he started to walk away and due to the use of so much chakra, he had to deactivate his byakugan.
"Do- no Naruto-san you fought a worthy battle but I have won. I never hit some one in the main tenketsu, much less anywhere with that much force. I am not sure what will happen…but thank you and if do not mind I would like to include you as more then a good ally I would like you to be my…friend…if you do not mind that is" said Neji trying to get use to the words.
"Gladly Neji-san" said Naruto weakly with a smirk and fell to his knees and coughed up a large amount of blood.
"Kill" was yelled through Narutos' heart and Naruto knew the voice.
"No" said Naruto as he felt the Kyuubi start to take control.
Neji turned around hearing Naruto "what" asked Neji confused.
"Naruto, Neji what did you do" yelled a feminine voice from behind Neji.
Neji looked behind him and didn't even turn fully as Tenten ran past him and to Naruto. "Naruto are you ok," asked Tenten as she felt tears start to come again for the third time when she saw the large puddle of blood.
"Get away from me NOW!" yelled Naruto in a mix of a demonic and human voice as he felt the demon start to push him back and then he coughed up more blood as he started to become outlined in a red glow.
"Naruto" whispered Tenten as she started to cry, "What's happening to you." Neji getting worried activated his byakugan and looked at Naruto and saw a lot of orange and red chakra so much that the tenketsu's and the rest of the system started to get fuzzy do to the sheer amount of chakra leaking out of the pores of Naruto's skin. Then he saw something that started to scare him, the chakra started to take on a form in the middle of Naruto.
"A…a fox!" gasped Neji as the face was now in clear view and jumped out almost biting Neji but before he could he quickly deactivated his byakugan. "Tenten listen to him now run I'll hold him off," yelled Neji as he went into the Juken stance.
"Neji…Naruto" said Tenten as she looked from one to the other.
"RUN!" Yelled Naruto and Neji at the same time which sounded weird because you have Naruto's voice mixed with that thing and then Neji's voice none the less Tenten ran but before she got out of hearing reach she heard Neji yelled to get help.
"Neji you run too I don't know how much more I can hold him back" begged Naruto as the red glow started to pulse.
"No" Neji stated simply.
"Why" asked Naruto as he looked up.
Neji saw Naruto's face and it was no longer Naruto's the eyes were slit instead of the normal round pupil and instead of the warm cerulean blue it was now a ferocious blood red, his canines were elongated more then any of the Inuzuka he knows about, and his whisker like birth marks were far darker and larger. Neji felt fear start to take him over but quickly pushed it away and smiled a true smile "because, you're an ally, a good sparing partner, and last but certainly not least a…good friend…well the only one I consider a friend" said Neji as he looked Naruto in the eyes.
"Thank you, but I can no longer fight him I am sorry Neji," Said Naruto as a lone tear slid down his cheek that quickly dried do to the chakra energy. Then a pair of Chakra tails appeared behind Naruto.
"It's ok Naruto-san" said Neji as he waited for the first and probably only blow due to the sheer power he felt radiating from Naruto and his weakened state this was not going to be a long fight.
Naruto slowly rose onto his legs and kept his face to the ground. Then Neji heard something he would have never guessed to hear…chuckling that grew louder and louder until it was a full-blown laugh but it didn't sound like the Naruto laugh he heard before. No, this laugh was a far darker and If Neji could compare the sound to anything it would be the laugh of the Shinigami (grim reaper/death god) himself if he ever laughed.
The laughing then stopped it didn't die down it just went into a dead stop. "I'm FFFRRREEE," yelled the demonic voice as he threw his head into the air "finally out of that cage...that cage was worse then hell itself" there was a short chuckle after that. Naruto kept his head up and slowly raised his right hand up until it was straight above him like he was reaching for something then quickly tightened his hand as if he caught what he was reaching for.
Neji was far past confused but did not show it, he stood his ground and his face remained passive. He wondered what the thing was talking about 'a cage?' Questioned Neji in his head as he kept his eyes on the thing as it continued to stare into the sky like a lifeless statue its hand now down. 'Where are the ANBU, ninja, ah forget them bring in the Hokage' thought Neji frantically knowing someone other then him was feeling this chakra.
"Ah humans so prone to becoming lost in thought" Said Naruto now far closer to Neji then before and getting closer, but it didn't even look like he was walking more like hovering to Neji.
"How" was all Neji could say as he started to slowly back up.
"Do you not agree Hyuuga, oh yes those 'all seeing eyes'" Naruto then laughed completely ignoring Neji's question "perhaps those eyes are more blind then they say."
"Who are you, where is Naruto-san" asked Neji.
Naruto laughed "No, you do not wish to know that. You wish to know where is 'help' now," said Naruto with a lighter voice as if mocking him. Neji let shock take for but a second but enough for Naruto to see "ha, I knew it. Well I'll answer both only if you answer one of mine," said Naruto as he stopped walking but five feet from Neji.
'What have I got to lose' thought Neji as he answered "fine" in an indifferent voice.
Naruto burst into laughter and soon stopped "even now you Hyuuga don't drop that proud mask you wear" said Naruto. "Now, for the first question your 'friend' is still here but he's in here," said Naruto as he pointed to his heart. "And as for your help there will be none, for the soul fact that my chakra is suppressed to where only someone as close as you can sense it. Now my question do you know who I am?" Asked Naruto as he smiled a grim smile that would make even Ibiki shake in fear at what he was thinking.
"No, I know whose body you possess but not who 'you' are," answered Neji with emphasis on 'you.'
"Well" said Naruto with a tinge of joy "I am, that which was thought dead eleven years ago. I am that which killed many and nearly brought this village to its end, I…killed…your…greatest…Hokage" said Naruto as he drawled out the last few words.
"The Kyuubi" said a shocked Neji.
"Oh now where is your Hyuuga pride" laughed the Kyuubi "the fool was not able to kill me but sealed me and no man can say that he sealed me for a truly unselfish reason," stated the Kyuubi.
"What do you mean?" asked Neji as he started to back away only to hit a wall. 'Great how can this get any worse I'm trapped, no help will come for a long while, I'm facing an opponent that no mortal can defeat much less kill, and Tenten-' Neji froze at that thought. He wanted to smirk, but stopped himself 'all I have to do is last long enough for Tenten to find help, the only hard part will be lasting that long even if it's but a few seconds' thought Neji.
With Tenten
"I have to find somebody…anybody" said Tenten out loud as she ran the streets of Konoha looking for some one knowing the odds are slim because it was still very early.
"Come on does Kami hate me that much," asked Tenten to herself.
"Tenten, have you seen Naruto?" asked a male voice from behind Tenten, who quickly turned around and saw Genma.
"Genma-san it's horrible, Naruto and Neji got into a fight and after it looked like Neji-kun won this red Chakra outlined Naruto and it was getting strong. They both told me to go Neji-kun said for me to go get help," said Tenten in a hurry.
"Go" was all Genma said as he turned around.
"What" asked Tenten confused.
"Go that's and order, run and get Hokage-sama" said Genma in a serious tone.
"But, what about Neji-kun and Naruto-kun" asked Tenten not noticing the added suffix to Naruto's name.
"Neji is, well most likely, dead" was Genma's answer "right now not even an ANBU team can take him down." Genma turned and looked at Naruto "but please do not blame him, he can't control it only a loved one can save him now," and with that Genma disappeared.
"I mean he could have given my great power to the child of another, but he chose his own son. He wanted the power to stay in his family. It's obvious no madder the intentions humans will always try and find a way to bend it there way even if by just a little" the Kyuubi stated as he stared to crutch into a fighting position. "Now, you know who I am, what Naruto has in him, and who his father is. You will be the only mortal to ever have all this information together, not even your Hokage has this kind of information, and I believe that, that is a great death wish…don't you think Hyuuga."
"Yes, and soon both Naruto-san and Hokage-sama will know as well because fate will not allow me to die yet," said Neji as he went into the Juken stance. "Oh, and about the greediness of the act. You don't understand maybe were you came from your power was a gift to have in that kind of situation but here it's a curse and he didn't want to put that on any other child in the village he swore to protect so much."
The Kyuubi then suddenly disappeared, Neji was shocked but quickly shook it off and started to look for the Kyuubi the Hawk would prey but this was back words and he knew it, he was the prey and the Kyuubi was the hawk and the prey usually never escapes.
"Over here fool," said a dark voice from behind him. Neji quickly turned around but when he looked there was nothing but air. Neji turned back around only to feel a fist connect with the left side of his face. Next thing Neji knew he was crashing through a nearby wall. Neji slowly picked himself up and was surprised to know nothing was broken.
'Hmm if this is his best I may be able to win this battle' thought Neji hopefully.
"Wow, your tough for a mortal" complimented Kyuubi "but that was only less then three percent of my full power," said the Kyuubi as he started to walk toward a now hopeless Neji.
"Well if you know a lot about mortals, you should know that they, especially humans, are very stubborn when it comes to things like dieing. Even when the last strand of hope is gone they some how push themselves farther then their limits are supposed to allow" said Neji with a smirk.
"Isn't it the truth" said Kyuubi as he was now less then a foot away from Neji. Who took the chance and ran with it, he started to unleash an uncountable amount of attacks onto the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi in return just stood there not even budging.
Neji attacked tenketsu after tenketsu but he didn't have as much accuracy do to the blurriness of the chakra system because of the sheer amount of chakra escaping form his body. (I know I already said why it's blurry but this is for those who forgot) Neji also knew that they were just being reopened and most likely not by choice there was just that much chakra.
The Kyuubi threw his hand out and grabbed Neji be the throat and slowly brought him up as he said, "You know what? I am tired of your foolish game mortal I believe you out lived your time on this earth. Good bye mortal boy thank you for letting me tastes a human's fear again," said Kyuubi as his grip slowly started to tighten.
'Looks like I will see you again sooner then I thought father' thought Neji as he felt his throat being crushed like a twig. As he let his last breath out, he whispered "I…am…truly…sorry…Naruto-s…an."
The Kyuubi could feel the young boy no longer breathing and dropped him like a broken toy in fact that is what Kyuubi saw him as. Kyuubi turned around and started to walk away now lost in thought on how he was going to destroy this village. Kyuubi felt a slight itch in his shoulder shortly after and looked to see a senbon sticking out of said shoulder. "I was wondering when you would show" said Kyuubi as he pulled the senbun out of his shoulder. There behind Kyuubi was a ninja wearing his Hiate-ate as a bandana and had shoulder like brown hair.
"Naruto I know you're in there please come back. Kyuubi is a fool to think he could hold you back for long if your try" yelled Genma as he slowly moved toward Neji's body and put two fingers on his neck.
"Don't bother human he's dead I made sure" said Kyuubi with a smirk.
Genma smirked as well "you really are a fool think who Naruto cares for the most and then think about what happened when you killed him" said Genma as he started stood up.
"The brat can do nothing to me," laughed Kyuubi.
"That's what you think, whose body are you in and who's in that body's head right now. And last I checked, the mind controls that which the body hears" laughed Genma. "Naruto you really do live up to your title, the number one most surprising ninja in Konoha, you out smarted the great Kyuubi who has a thousand years of wisdom."
Kyuubi was furious to say the least this mortal was making fun of him and worse is he had the right to with the mistake Kyuubi just made, but he was about to fix it. "Fool, I will kill that boy and then kill you" yelled Kyuubi as he charged Genma more correctly the boy on the ground.
"I WON'T LET YOU…" yelled Genma as he summoned all the chakra in him and yelled "TENBATSU" and right when Kyuubi was over Neji Genma kneed him in the gut upwards into the sky.
"What th-," Kyuubi was not able to finish the sentence as Genma appeared behind him (which would be right above him is you get confused) and drop kicked him sending him hurdling toward the ground. Genma was not done yet as he kept on kicking Kyuubi up into the air and right back down. If you were watching, it would look like Kyuubi was hovering in the air, as shockwaves would be seen on his back and front every half second.
'How can he be so fast…so strong' thought the Kyuubi as he felt all the pain of the wounds that kept on being hit. He was not able to heal fast enough to stop the bruises from appearing.
"KYUUBI LET NARUTO HAVE CONTROL OR THIS WILL COUNTINUE" yelled Genma not stopping his onslaught. In truth, he could lonely keep it up for a few more minutes and then he would become unconscious.
"FINE" yelled Kyuubi as he was hit one more time to the ground and when he hit the roof of the building he flew strait through it and there was a giant crater as the rest of the building started to collapse on top of Kyuubi.
Genma grabbed Neji's body as the building collapsed and jumped a few buildings over. When the whole building collapsed, there was a giant mushroom of smoke. A few minutes later Gai and Lee showed up "what happed here friend, we were doing our morning laps when we I felt an explosion of chakra and saw the smoke a few minutes later," Said Gai in a more serious tone then normal but still just as loud.
"Gai-san take off your weights" said Genma as he stood up "I have about two minutes left till I lose consciousness." After that was said, they felt/saw a wave of red chakra explode from the collapsed building. A few seconds later, there was an agonizing animalistic scream and the stones went flying every which way leaving just a crater where the debris was and a lone figure in the middle of the crater.
"Ok right on it, Lee-kun get Neji-kun (I'm not sure if Gai calls his students –kun and –chan someone please tell me) and run" said Gai in a serious voice as he removed his weights and did one hand seal and they disappeared.
"Well it's been awhile since we fought side by side right old friend" said Genma as he went into a stance only he and Gai knew and soon Naruto and Lee would learn. Genma's back was towards Gai as he faced Kyuubi and one hand (left) was flat facing forward. His lags were bent downward and arms length apart. (His legs looks like the horse stance look it up on Google images) Genma's other hand was on his waist as if ready to punch.
"Yes too bad Gekko isn't here we could show Kyuubi why we where a good team and our friend Izumo though you would be nice to have as well" said Genma as he went in to the same stance as Genma only exact opposite. They both started to gather chakra and if someone with a trained eye (or Byakugan damn cheaters) would see a string of chakra connecting them. They both took a deep breath and yelled "TISUN-REKKA-FENIKKUSU (twin-raging/raging fire-phoenix)" as they both jumped off the building roof they were on and charged the demon possessed Naruto.
Kyuubi just stood there and smirked he made a deal and he would keep it he would give Naruto control, but the deal never said when. Kyuubi could see the strings 'those aren't normal chakra strings. A normal ninja would guess by the name of the technique, the strings make sure they move the exact same way, but not only is there timing a little off moving wise. Also if they wanted to control the others movement they would connect the strings at the arms, legs, torso, ect. So what is it used for' thought the Kyuubi in the course of less then a second he looked more closely at the strings and saw that there was a small but bright light moving back and forth, normal strings didn't have that. Then they made it to his position and Gai threw a punch at Kyuubi who simply moved but did not see much less sense when Gai swept a kick and tripped him backwards.
Before Kyuubi hit the ground, he spun quickly so he could catch himself but was kick into the sky by Genma 'oh no, not this again' thought the Kyuubi knowing what was coming next. Sure enough he felt a foot come at his back, but he was surprised to sense two feet and feel double the pain as he hit the ground to make the big crater by far bigger and deeper.
"THAT'S IT," yelled the Kyuubi as he got up "play time is over."
"Your right, it is" said Genma as he closed his eyes and Gai did the same. There was an even more powerful surge of chakra from the three of them (including Kyuubi) Gai and Genma yelled "Initial Gate…KAI" simultaneously Gai was surrounded by light blue chakra and Genma dark, almost night, blue. Kyuubi did a primitive roar and a third tail popped out and burned off Narutos over jacket.
"Now let's have some fun," said Kyuubi with a smirk as he started to do hand seals at an unbelievable speed.
"Let's" agreed Gai and Genma as they both started to do hand seals as well and at the same speed if not faster then the Kyuubi.
The Kyuubi stopped on a seal that looked like the tiger seal (I went to for hand seals) except the first two fingers were bent downward.
'What the hell is that' thought Gai counting the last of his seals 'ignore it he's at least a millennium year old demon he knows more now, lets do this' thought Genma but Gai heard 'right, sorry.'
Kyuubi then took a deep breath and yelled "Koumajutsu: Baisu-Ao-Kasi-Katana-Jutsu (Demon Invocation: multiple-blue-fire-blade-technique)." Kyuubi then blew threw the seal and many blue sharp curves came at Genma and Gai and both jumped opposite ways of the other. Genma got deep cut on his right thigh but was quickly closed do to the heat of the blade, and when Genma landed, he fell to one knee but kept on doing his seals. None of the blades touched Gai, but if one looked close, they would see that his right part of his jumpsuit/pants was a darker green (and with that bright green, it is very noticeable).
Gai got to the last seal, which was the serpent seal, whispered "Dokukira (poison mist)" and ran at Kyuubi while taking a deep breath he then jumped backwards high into the air.
Kyuubi was far past confused 'why would he be bleeding, and why did he run at me like he was going to punch me only to jump backward' thought the Kyuubi as he looked into Gai's eyes to see mischief deep in them.
Gai then opened his mouth with and blew as hard as he could. From his mouth came a deep dark purple mist that surrounded the Kyuubi, who took a deep breath not noticing it was a little late and jumped out of the mist high into the air. Only to hear a male voice yell "SHURIKEN KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU (shuriken shadow clone technique)" the only problem was that the voice came from everywhere and Genma was nowhere to be seen.
After Kyuubi's first attack with Genma
Genma was flying through his first set of seals and whispered "Utsusemi no Jutsu (Projection technique)" He look towards Gai to see him get near the last of his seals "now's my chance" Genma did a quick Ram seal and disappeared in a puff of smoke and reappeared in a dark ally not to far away. He then quickly started to do more seals "man if this keeps up I'll have no more chakra to spare in no time" Genma thought out loud still concentrating on his technique.
Genma closed his eyes and saw what Gai was seeing. He saw purple smoke start to come out of his friends mouth Genma then thought 'get ready to attack' and Gai just thought a quick 'Hai' and used the Ram seal to disappear as well. Genma got to his last seal just in time, yelled "SHURIKEN KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU", and quickly threw fifteen or so shuriken at the back of Kyuubi.
Back to normal
Gai quickly threw almost all of his Shuriken at Kyuubi from many different directions do to the Shunshin no jutsu he kept on teleporting to close spots. 'You know we're both luck that the shunshin no jutsu's chakra requirement varies depending on the distance the user move's or I would be on reserves an you would be out.' Thought Gai with a smirk "yea just like the old days huh' laughed Genma lightly so Kyuubi wouldn't here, Said Demon was busy avoiding the last of the shuriken's well, to be more specifically he was trying to not let them hit vital points.
When the last of the shuriken's passed by the Kyuubi, he almost resembled a pincushion "damn you shinobi," muttered the Kyuubi now very pissed that humans could out smart him in tactics. The Kyuubi knew that he couldn't win he could here his container yelling to let him take control and at this rate the Kyuubi would have no choice, because the brat would get whither The Kyuubi like it or not. The Kyuubi let out another, weaker, surge of chakra to get rid of the shuriken and slowly started to dismiss his tails until there was a small one about the size of a German Shepard's tail. Genma and Gai felt the sudden drop of power and showed them selves to see a fully healed but still blood covered Kyuubi, they then noticed the absence of tails and the one short one. "You win this spar," said the Kyuubi with a smirk "next time I hope to face you two again but next time I may not hold back" the two shinobi looked at the Kyuubi with a deadpanned look "what? You should have guessed that if I could control how many of my tails were out then I could have gone to full power from the beginning…right" at this the two nodded. "Well till next time I abide you adieu" he bowed in their direction, the two nodded, and with that the last of the tails started to disappear until just a little outline remained then it stopped "oh and I may give Naruto a gift I am still contemplating that idea." The outlined disappeared just in time for about six ANBU to grab Naruto and hold him to a nearby wall and a few more ANBU came with swords drawn and pointing at Naruto.
"Let him go," said a familiar voice from behind Genma and Gai who were about to attack the ANBU. They all looked for owner of the voice, except for Naruto who looked more dazed then anything and there stood the Hokage in his normal robes. "We are luck that this is near the Uchiha district (which if anyone doesn't know in the manga is abandoned with the exception Sasuke,)" stated the Hokage then he looked at the ANBU again. "It was an order unless you want to deal with the famed Tisun Fenikkusu" Said ANBU looked at Gai and Genma, who were panting and sweating heavily, to see then in the ready stance for Tisun-Rekka-Fenikkusu.
They were contemplating in there head if they could take them when an ANBU with a dog mask and spiky silver hair appeared behind the ANBU "you may be able to take them as they are now but do you fools honestly believe you could my" said the ANBU. If you could see behind the ANBU's mask's, you would see some with surprise and some with fear but they were all think either 'I hate it when he does that mind reading thingy' or 'how does he do that' none the less the slowly let him go. One ANBU bowed in front of the silver haired new comer "we are sorry our intentions were for the best. We did not know wither or not the Kyuubi still had control or not, please no insult intended Hokage-sama…Ka…Shushou (captain)" said the bowed ANBU catching himself before he gave the ANBU's identity away. The silver haired ANBU nodded knowing the bowing Anbu was one of the people who did not care about what Naruto had in him, all men on his squad held no hate towards the boy, he made sure of it.
His teams were practically the boy's guardian angles "ok my squad back to your posts" ordered the silver haired captain "the rest of you have ten seconds to let go of the boy" after that was said three members including the bowing one quickly disappeared while two others let go of the boy and jumped onto a nearby roof. That left three more "one…two" the captain started counting.
'I can kill him before ten seconds' thought one ANBU who and his sword at the boy.
"Three…four" the Captain say one ANBU's muscles in their arm tightened and thought 'better not take any chances' "six…" and right when he said the he pulled out his katana and quickly cut the ANBU who had tightened his muscles heads off faster then the ANBU's could see. Anything near the now lifeless body was showered in blood. "Ten" said the Captain and the quickly dropped the boy and jumped form roof to roof in fear.
Genma and Gai closed the Initial Gate, disconnected the chakra cords, and Genma deactivated the Tenbatsu. Gai fell to one knee and Genma collapsed but forced his eyes to stay open as Naruto ran up to him.
"Genma-sensei I'm so sorry I couldn't control him please forgive my" begged Naruto as tears started to drop.
"Naruto-kun…from now on your living at my place…because if word gets, which judging by the mess you made is inevitable, your life will be in far more danger then before" said Genma and smirked "there's a black scroll on the desk in your new room upstairs. Take it and read it…it's your training resume well I'm for the Tenbatsu" Genma then closed his eyes and let sleep take him.
"Captain before you go back to your post bring a medic team down here a.s.a.p., that is all," said the Hokage as he looked up to the sky when he heard a loud scream.
"GAI-SENSEI" yelled a bright green figure running toward them with two other figures one barely able to move.
"LEE-KUN" yelled Gai as he attempted to stand but fell right back down to one knee.
"Gai-sensei, what is wrong" asked Lee in a lower more concerned voice.
"Do not worry Lee-kun I will be fine, how are you feeling Neji kun," said Gain.
"Well I could be better, but I'm a Hyuuga fate won't let me stay like this forever," answered Neji in an emotionless voice and with a stoic face as always. He then walked up to the kneeling blond and put his hand on his shoulder. Naruto looked away feeling ashamed of him self. "Do not worry Naruto-san I do not care about 'it' in fact if you could control that power it would be a great asset to the village" said Neji who then looked at Naruto and smirked.
"Thank-you Neji" said Naruto as he got up.
"Naruto-kun where are you going" asked the Hokage.
"I'm going to get some sleep old man and them tomorrow I have to go to the academy" said Naruto like it was obvious and ran toward his new home.
Tenten wanted to say something to Naruto but couldn't and then she looked at Neji when Naruto left "how can you forgive him just like that" she asked with confusion and a little bit of anger in her voice.
"Tenten" said Neji and then looked her in the eye "if you are mad at him for what happed you are truly more ignorant then I originally thought" and with that Neji turned around "I will be at the Hyuuga compound, please send someone for me when our team's training begins again."
Tenten stood there to stun to move as she watched Neji leave them.
"Tenten" said Gai and Tenten turned and gave him her attention.
"He's is right it is not youthful at all to blame Naruto for something he has no control over." Gai's eyes darkened as if he we remembering something that pained him "you have no idea what kind of hell he's been it. His hell is one that would make even Kami himself fall to his knee's in sorrow and anger ant this…" he paused looking into the sky "this village for its ignorance" and with that he turned away from Tenten.
Tenten looked at Gai in shock and then looked at the Hokage to see if he was angry for Gai sating such a thing about their village.
The Hokage had a dark look on his face and let the shadow of his hat cover his eyes "Tenten I am sorry, but I must agree with them, even I sometimes wish I could burn this village down and start a new." He turned away "if anything this village deserver's far, far worse" and with that, he disappeared.
Tenten wanted to cry but fought it and instead ran away, she had been rejected by the one she loved, he sensei who was like a father to her, and the village leader himself. She ran the in the direction Naruto ran to see what did the village do that was so bad what was it the he had no control over. Right now she was so lose she just wanted to hide and cry but if she wanted to gain the respect she lost she would have to get to the bottom of this.
End
I believe I wrote too much because I believe I well it's hard to explain. And someone has suggested a blood-line limit ok well it is up to you guy if blood-line he doesn't get taught by Gekko if no blood-line he gets taught by Gekko I already prepared how he will get the Blood line and it won't be a dojutsu unless you guys really want one.
