The Legend of Naruto Uzumaki
Chapter 8
Alsya sighed as Sakura tried but failed to successfully connecting her chakra to, well, anything "Sakura have you been doing the chakra exercises I gave you?" she asked.
"Yes." Sakura said.
"Didn't I tell you not to lie to me?" Alsya asked.
"I'm not lying." Sakura said.
"Then why can't you connect your chakra to your surroundings?" Alsya asked.
"I, um, I don't know." Sakura answered.
"Your useless," the taller pink-headed girl said then started to walk away, "when your ready to take this serious come find me."
"How will I find you?" the younger pink haired girl yelled.
"If I have to answer that then your not ready for my training." was all the young ninja in training heard before she was alone in the training field.

Tenten walked into the Hyuuga compound, "Where is Hinata?" she asked Neji.
"Go find her yourself, I'm not your servant." he said and stalked off.
"Well don't expect any future dates from me jerk!" she yelled after him. She then concentrated on finding Hinata and vanished in a trace of brown appearing in front of the Hyuuga heir.
"You could have just came to my room instead of doing that." Hinata said from inside her huge closet.
Tenten walked towards it, "I would have if your jerk of a cousin would have told me where you where." she replied.
"Neji, I don't get him sometimes, he claims to want to bring the families closer, but says he will not support me as the heir, even though everyone in the clan knows I want to bring us closer together." Hinata said.
"I can't believe I actually use to like him." Tenten said.
"Don't worry, we all are entitled to at least one mistake on who we like." Hinata said as she pulled out a shirt and held it up to her body, "What do you think?" she asked.
"Its to elaborate." she said of the shirt.
Throwing it to the side Hinata went back to what was hanging up, "I don't know what to wear."
"You don't want to wear anything that outshines what Hana will wear since it is her birthday." Tenten told her.
Hinata looked at what Tenten was wearing, "I guess I could wear that Chinese outfit I got."
"Didn't you receive that as a gift from some rich bastard in Kumo who asked you to marry him?" Tenten asked.
"Yea, but that don't mean I can't wear it." Hinata said.
Tenten shrugged, "I guess, just hurry or we will be late." she said.
"Hinata there are 2 dogs out here with a note telling you and Hanabi to hurry up." her servant said.
"We will be out shortly." Hinata yelled.
Tenten looked over herself in the large mirror as Hinata got dressed, "You think we can trust Alsya?" she asked.
Hinata pulled her Chinese dress over her head, "Hana trusts her so that's all I need, I know you have a trust problem but I do know you trust Hana and her decisions." she told her.
"Hana has good instincts, I don't know maybe I'm just being unfair to the girl." Tenten said as she fixed her hair, "can I use one of your hair pins?" she asked.
"Sure and try to give Alsya a fair chance before making a decision." Hinata said.
"Ready?" Tenten said.
"Yup better go get Hanabi and leave before Hana comes for us herself." Hinata said as they walked out of her closet.
Hanabi stood next to one of the two dogs as Tenten and Hinata walked out, "Tenten why are you here?" she asked in surprise.
"I stopped by to borrow one of Hina's hair pins." Tenten responded.
"Come on Hanabi you can ride with me." Hinata said as she sat sideways on a dog.
"Cool, I get one by myself." Tenten said jumping on the other dog.
Hanabi who was also wearing a dressed sat the same way as Hinata and rested her head on her chest while they left. As they was riding Hinata reached and picked a yellow flower and fixed Hanabi's hair so it was behind her ear and stuck the flower in it to keep it there, "Your beautiful." she whispered in her ear.

After getting off the boat in Kiri everyone looked around, "Ok lets split up." Kushina said.
"What exactly are we looking for?" Naruto asked.
"Nothing really, I'm headed to see the Mizukage so don't cause any trouble." Kushina said.
"I never cause trouble." Naruto said.
"I'm serious Naruto stay out of trouble." Kushina said before she walked off with Haku close behind.
Naruto watched them walk away, "I don't get it, why does Haku hate me so much?" he asked.
"Its not so much as she hates you as the connection you have with Kyu." Kurenai said.
"That doesn't me feel any better about it." Naruto said.
"Just give her time she will warm up to you one day." Anko told him.
"Well anyway lets see what Kiri has to offer." Kurenai said.
The three started walking in a random direction before Naruto suddenly stopped with a scared look on his face getting both Anko and Kurenai's attention, "Oh shit." he whispered.
"Whats wrong I don't see any sign of trouble?" Anko asked looking around for any sign of trouble.
"Today is Hana's birthday." Naruto said in a panic.
Kurenai thought about it, "He is right, we better hurry and get there before she notices we are missing." she said.
"Lets get Kushina and go." Anko said as the three sprinted full speed towards the kages tower.

Kushina and Haku walked into the kages tower and stood in front of the receptionist desk, "Can I see the Mizukage?" Kushina asked.
"Do you have an appointment with her?" the dark haired receptionist asked without looking up at them.
"No but I'm sure that she can fit a few minutes in her schedule for me." Kushina responded to her while trying not to knock some respect into the young girl.
"No appointment no meeting." the receptionist said while putting a stack of paper into a file.
"You talk to me commander with respect or me make you." Haku threatened letting some chakra leak out as she stepped in front of Kushina.
"Haku calm down." Kushina said putting a hand on Haku's shoulder.
"Sorry." Haku whispered as she backed up back slightly behind Kushina and to the right of her.
The receptionist looked up, "If you think a little threat and a leak of your chakra will scare me then your wrong." she said as she sized Haku up determining if she was a threat or not.
"Please excuse my apprentice she is a little too protective." Kushina said trying to defuse the situation.
The receptionist glared at Kushina, "I don't know who you think you are coming in here and demanding to see the Mizukage, but unless you have an appointment I suggest you leave now before I call an ANBU to remove you." she told them.
Haku glared at the girl for daring to talk to Kushina like that but before she could say something Kushina beat her to it, "Apologies, it was rude of me to come and ask to see your Mizukage without prior notice and I also apologize for the behavior of my apprentice, if you would be so kind can you schedule a visit for me to meet the Mizukage at a later date?" she asked.
"Me could beat her." Haku said under her breath.
"Haku show her some respect your in her home village." Kushina said.
"If I'm mistaking this is also her home village." a females voice said from behind the receptionist. The three looked and saw who was coming was a female who looked around Kurenai's age standing in the doorway wearing the standard Kiri kage outfit.
"Mizukage-sama do you need me to get anything for you?" the receptionist asked while bowing to her.
"No continue your work Ari" the Mizukage said before approaching Kushina and Haku, "Haku from the ice clan, am I correct?" she asked while looking at Haku.
Haku growled at her, "Terumii." she said as she became even more aggressive.
The Mizukage smirked, "I prefer Mei since it is my name, what brings you back, since if I recall correct you ran away?" she asked as she tilted her head to the side in a curious motion.
Knowing the difference in their power level Kushina stepped between them, "She is here with me so I would appreciate it if you wouldn't taunt my apprentice like that."
Mei looked at Kushina and smiled, "Of course I apologize, I don't mean to taunt her, I'm curious by nature, so what brings an Uzumaki to Kiri?" she asked as she forgot Haku was even there.
Before Kushina could start Kurenai, Anko, and Naruto ran into the tower, "Kushina we need to go its Hana's birthday." Kurenai said.
"Ok this will only take a minute" Kushina told them then turned back to the Mizukage, "can we talk in private Mizukage?"
"Of course follow me." the Mizukage said and led her to her office.
Haku glared at the back of the Mizukage as she entered her office before Kushina blocked her view, "Haku stay with Kurenai until I come out." Kushina told her as she started to walk towards the office.
"Me stay with her." Haku said sadly as she walked to the side of Kurenai.
"Stupid girl." the receptionist mumbled.
"Me not stupid, me kill you if you mess with me or me commander." Haku promised shocking the receptionist.
"Did you just threatened me?" She asked while wondering how she heard her.
"Haku has excellent hearing and abilities so don't try her unless you want the fight of you life." Anko warned.
"She doesn't scare me." the receptionist told them.

Hana paced in front of the Inuzuka compound with every step her anger increased, "They better have a good excuse for being so late."
"Sorry we're late." she heard as 6 people appeared in front of her.
"Its my 15th birthday and your late why?" Hana asked glaring at them all, "And who smells like an ocean?" she added.
"Me no smell like ocean, you smell like dog." stated an offended Haku.
"Hana mom said get in here now, and who the hell smells like a damn ocean." Kiba said walking out.
"Me no smell like ocean." Haku yelled angrily as a shot of ice shot out of her hand towards Kiba who was pushed aside by Hana.
"Attacking my brother is a bad move." she said from behind Haku with a kunai pressed to her neck.
"Enough both of you." Kushina said as 2 tails appeared and held both kunoichi's in the air and walked into the compound with everyone following her.
Tsume looked up with bone sticking out of her mouth and a cup of sake in her hand. She looked at the two kunoichi's being held in the air, "What did you do this time Hana and who is the new girl?" she asked.
"Really mom you don't see the two tails that Kushina-san has coming out of her ass?" Kiba asked.
"This is Haku, one of my two apprentice and Hana was about to fight her so I stopped it." Kushina told her.
"Nice to meet you Haku I'm Tsume head of the Inuzuka clan if your a friend of Kushina's then your always welcome here, Hana behave yourself its your birthday." Tsume said.
"Am I the only one who see those tails?" Kiba yelled.
"Kushina!" they heard before she tackled to the ground by an indigo haired girl.
"Hanabi did you miss me?" Kushina asked while getting up.
"You was gone for like a whole year!" the 7 year old exclaimed.
"It was only 3 months." Kushina told her.
"Can I see your tails." she asked.
"Lets go everyone is waiting." Hana said as she started walking further into the compound.
As Tsume was walking into her compound she stopped, "Drinking sake before your at the party?" she asked.
"Its a party for a child, didn't think sake would be here." the person responded.
"Tsunade you know I have a supply of sake for you anytime your expected to be here." Tsume responded.
"Yes well show me the way to the sake, also Shizune wants to meet Hana." Tsunade responded.
"Right this way." Tsume then led them into the compound.
(break)
"So whats your name?" Hinata asked as she reached a hand out to shake Haku's hand.
Haku looked at it for a minute before looking at Kushina who nodded to her, "Me Haku, me general for commander Kushina." she said.
"General?" Tenten asked.
"Yes, its like an apprentice, Hinata also would be my general in Haku's eyes." Kushina told them.
"Well nice to meet you Haku, I'm Hinata and I guess I'm also Kushina's general." Hinata said as Haku finally shook her hand.
"She is a little shy so be patient with her." Kushina warned.
"And very dangerous." Anko added.
(break)
Everyone was happily laughing and dancing, well everyone except Haku who stayed in the corner closest to where Kushina was. This particular corner was deemed safest for her because there was noway any of the dogs in the compound, which she quickly had a dislike for, could get to her without causing a problem with the other people at the party. That didn't stop the 'dogs' who walked on two legs, like the one who was headed for her at this very moment, "Hello, my name is Coda and I couldn't help but notice you are all alone." he said in a smooth tone with a wink.
"Me no want to talk to you." Haku then tried to walk away.
"But you just did, why not tell me your name now?" he asked.
"Me no talk to you, me want to be by me self." Haku said and tried to walk away again which resulted in Coda grabbing her arm.
"Don't walk away from me I'm not finished with you." he said as he started to get aggressive.
"Let Haku go." she said as she tried to pull her arm out of his grip.
Coda slammed her into the wall, "Shut it before you draw attention our way." he said as he got closer to her face and tried to kiss her.
The music and everyone stopped as they turned in confusion to see what was happening as Coda was thrown across the room along with a stream of water that got most of them wet, "What the hell is going on Coda?" Hana asked clearly upset at her party being ruined.
Coda got up with a murderous look in his eyes and pointed directly at Haku, "She attacked me for no reason." he claimed before taking off full speed towards her.
Before he could reach her there was a blond flash and Naruto was there with his katana at Coda's neck, "I don't know what you did, but I suggest you stop and apologize now." he warned.
"Me no need your help." Haku said to Naruto in spite.
"Maybe not but your getting it." Naruto told her.
"After years of friendship your taking her side? She don't even like you?" Coda asked Naruto.
"Its because of being your friend for years that I'm stopping you." the blond responded.
"With your katana to my neck?" Coda asked him.
"If you would have continued with your attack you wouldn't be having this conversation your having." Naruto told him.
"What do you mean by that?" Kiba asked.
"Use your nose for something useful for once Kiba, don't you smell the water that's forming around us as we speak, if he would have continued with his attack at the very least he would have been killed quick and painless, if he survived that there is noway he can get past Hinata-chan who was preparing to attack the moment he started to attack Haku." Naruto explained.
The two Inuzuka's looked around and true to Naruto's word water was quickly turning to senbons and they all was focused on Coda. They also noticed that Hinata was standing just off to the side of Haku in her jyuuken stance.
"Haku what happened?" Kushina asked.
"Him tried to kiss me." Haku told her, and the look she was giving Coda was one that even Kyuubi had to admit would have made any lesser demon quiver in fear.
But since Coda wasn't a lesser demon and by comparison was even slower than Naruto at catching on to things disagreed, "She is lying, I offered to get her a drink and she attacked me." he yelled.
"There is two things wrong with that statement Coda, first Haku doesn't attack anyone without my permission or without her life being in danger, and two" Kushina pointed to the floor below Haku, "she has a bottle of water."
"Coda you have exactly 1 second to get out before I rip the skin off your bones." Hana threatened. Before she even was able to finish her threat Coda was nowhere to be found.
"Hana-sama there is a guest here to see you." a guard said walking in and bowing before letting someone step into the room.
Everyone looked at him, he was wearing a standard Iwa jounin outfit and was followed by three Iwa ANBU's, "Who the hell are you?" Kiba asked.
"I'm Larez and." before he could finish he was cut off.
"Why the hell are you here?" Naruto asked.
"If you let me I will tell you." he told him.
"We are waiting." Hana said.
"I'm here to ask you to become my wife and merge the two greatest nations into one great nation." Larez asked.
Everyone looked at him then blinked at the same time, "Is that all? I thought you was going to ask something important, can you come back later we are kind of busy." Naruto said as he tried to usher him out the door.
Larez simply sidestepped and approached Hana, "Unless of course you have someone else in mind you would like to marry and I will fight him and defeat him, for you." he said.
Hana just looked at him like he was about to take Tsunade's sake and drink it in her face, "Kiba can you please remove him from our house?" she asked.
"Of course." Kiba said.
"So your the one I have to defeat in order to have Hana-san hand in marriage?" he asked.
"No that would be me." Naruto said stepping in front of him.
"You really? You tiny for a ninja, even shorter for a man and not to mention that tacky orange outfit. Someone of your statue can never be enough to court Hana-san." Larez said.
There was a collective intake of breath, "Did you just call me short?" Naruto asked.
"Are you deaf to?" Larez asked.
"Don't kill him Naruto-kun." Hana said before stepping back out of the way.
No sooner than she did that did Larez go flying out the building into the yard of the compound followed by Naruto. Everyone ran outside to witness the fight, "Finally something entertaining." Alsya said.
"I'll give you one chance leave before I make you." Naruto said.
"You make master Larez leave, good luck he is next inline to be Tsuchikage." one of the ANBU's said.
"Kage is just a meaningless title, real ninja's are feared by kages." Naruto said before pulling off his katana.
"Blue katana, so the story about samehada finding a new owner is true, this will be interesting." Larez said as he pulled out his own katana. To someone without weapon making skills this katana was old and dull posing no real threat.
But luckily for Naruto he had Tenten there who was trained at weapon making, "Naruto be careful that weapon is more than what it seems." she warned.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Hinata wondered.
"Not sure at the moment, but trust me that weapon is a lot of secrets and I fear Naruto is about to find out what the first one is soon." the teen replied.
Naruto started towards Larez before he was forced to dive to the side as his katana shot towards Naruto at full speed barely missed killing the dodging hanyou as blood sprayed from his shoulder forcing him to drop his katana. Naruto stood up and watched as the katana slowly shrank back to its normal size, "What the hell?"
"The God Spear?" Tenten asked in surprise.
"Oh you've heard of it?" Larez replied.
"Its only one of the most legendary weapons ever created, and the only one to be found. Legend says that the God Spear was created by Kami as a gift to his wife. It has no weaknesses and is the fastest weapon ever created and completely impossible to dodge." Tenten told everyone.
"Exactly so makes me wonder how did he dodge it?" Larez asked.
Kyuubi looking on finally decided to put in her say, "Its hardly fair bringing a weapon of a god to fight a human, and how did you come by this weapon anyway?"
"Well if you must know lady it was stolen by one of my long dead grandmothers while she was a servant to some very wealthy prick and his spoiled wife, so it has been in my family for years and only given to the next heir of our clan, and all is fair in a fight to the death." he told her.
"Your right all is fair in this fight," she then looked at Naruto, "the only way to beat the God Spear is to make the god spear useless by forcing it to be used as a regular tanto, as long as there is enough distance to use the God Spear special ability you will be killed." she told him.
"No advice you give him will help I'm going to kill him and take Hana as my wife." Larez said.
"While it has no noticeable weaknesses the God Spear does have one weakness, it can't kill an opponent who is to close because it can't activate its killing ability." Kyuubi said completely ignoring Larez.
"How do you know that?" Tenten asked.
Kyuubi shrugged, "It was made by my father and belonged to my mother."
"Your parents?" Kushina asked.
"Shouldn't you be more worried about your son and not my origins?" Kyuubi asked.
Naruto sped towards Larez before diving to the side again and pushing the speeding weapon away from him. As soon as he caught his balance he was forced to jump as the weapon was being swiped in his direction then immediately changed directions going into the air right behind him. Pulling out a kunai he was able to barely push the weapon off to the side. Landing and breathing hard prepared for his next attack running straight towards.
"Naruto-kun that is not going to work!" Hana yelled.
Larez shook his head as his weapon sped towards Naruto again. Naruto smirked before he showed his three pronged kunai and vanished with only a trace of smoke, "What the hell?" Larez asked as he tried to sense his opponent.
Kushina smirked, "The first stage of the Flying Thunder God technique."
Naruto appeared on the complete opposite side of Larez in front of the gate, "Shit not where I was aiming for."
"You may know how to do the move, but your certainly no Yellow Flash." Larez said.
Naruto vanished again as Larez attacked with his God Spear again. He appeared closer to Larez this time and started to run at him while charging chakra in his hand. Larez quickly tried to kill Naruto one last time with his God Spear but it was deflected by Naruto's kunai forcing him to quickly charge chakra in his left hand and charge Naruto.
Oodama Rasengan.
Chakra Cannon.
The chakra from the two caused Naruto's tails to come into view but that went ignored as the two shinobi's was not willing to let the other win. The resulting clash of the jutsus caused a blinding light forcing everyone to cover their eyes, the power coming off caused a huge creator in the middle of the Inuzuka compound where they was fighting, a power wave that was felt by everyone within the village who had the ability to feel chakra, and more then a few broken windows and doors. When the jutsus finally died down both shinobi's was unconscious.
"Wow." Anko said in awe at the display of power the two teens showed.
"Are they ok?" Kurenai asked.
"Who won?" Hana slowly asked really wanting Naruto to win.
"They both are unconscious." Kyuubi informed them.
"So I don't have to go to Iwa?" Hana asked.
"For now, but their maybe more coming to fight for you and the rest of the girls, Naruto was lucky that Larez was underestimating him the entire fight." Kyuubi said as she walked to Naruto to assess his injuries.
"Who the hell is going to pay for the damage to my compound?" Tsume asked looking as around.
"I thought you was going to Whirlpool?" Kushina asked.
Tsume sighed, "I would have liked to leave my ancestors resting place in the same condition I inherited it, leave it to Naruto to screw that up in his last visit."

"Send every available jounin and ANBU to the Inuzuka compound now, Danzo send your ROOT there also."

How was it? I would like to thank Killjoy3000 for his help during this chapter and for his ideas on this chapter. The chakra cannon attack was made up by killjoy3000 and I don't take credit for it. Please review.
