The next day, Naruto arrived at the Training Grounds at 9:30 AM. Seeing Sakura and Sasuke already there, Naruto said "Let me guess, you guys have been here since 7, haven't you?"
Sakura narrowed her eyes, and said "Yeah. Where were you? Sensei told us to meet here at 7!"
Naruto started chuckling, much to Sakura's chagrin. Naruto said "Sakura-chan, did you forget what I said yesterday? 'Habitually late, porn-addicted Jounin' sums up Kakashi Hatake. He's not gonna be here for another half-hour maybe."
Sasuke said "To be honest Sakura, he did say that to us."
Naruto pulled out the Omni Sword from its' strap on his back. Naruto started training with the sword to pass the time until Kakashi could arrive. Also, he was going over the plan one more time with his dad in his head.
When Kakashi arrived, he said "Okay guys, you're all here. So that means we can get started quickly. Now, it's 10 AM now. You have until noon to take these two bells from me. If you get the bells, you can become Genin. If you don't, you're sent back to the Academy. It's that simple."
Before Sakura could comment, Naruto said "And I'm guessing the fact that there's two bells means that one of us is going back no matter what happens."
Kakashi said "Very observant. One of you will be going back regardless of what happens."
Sasuke glared at Kakashi, saying "You can't do that."
Kakashi took out a timer and set it to ring at 12. He said "Yes I can, and yes I will. Unless you get a bell from me. Now in this survival exercise, no holds barred. You must come at me with the intention to kill me. You have until noon. Begin!"
The three Genin jumped away into the trees, hiding until the time was right to come out. 'Hmmm…Okay, they're good at hiding. Sakura's over in the bushes to the left. Sasuke's in the trees to the right. Naruto's in my blind spot. But the spot also provides cover in case someone tries to look for him. I'm impressed. Maybe they'll pass.'
Naruto was thinking 'Okay dad. Which do you think I should do first? Should I go and fight Kakashi now or wait until the others are with me?'
Minato said 'Try to get the others on your side first. If they don't help you, then go after Kakashi alone. If they do help, use the plan we came up with. Hopefully your combined efforts will be able to defeat him.'
Naruto took off from his position, making sure that he made as little noise as possible and that he wasn't seen by Kakashi. When he arrived at Sasuke's hiding spot, he said "Sasuke, we need to talk."
Sasuke turned around, saying "What do you want loser? Don't you see that I'm trying to defeat Kakashi?"
Naruto said "In case you didn't know Sasuke, Kakashi is one of the best Jounin in the village. It's gonna take more than some hotshot overconfident Genin to defeat him. If me, you, and Sakura combined our efforts, we might be able to defeat him. But unless we do, we're all going back to the Academy."
Sasuke said "No. I'm gonna get a bell all by myself. I don't need your help deadlast."
Naruto glared at Sasuke, saying "Fine, but don't come bitching to me when he wipes the floor with your ass."
Naruto jumped away, going for Sakura's spot. Easily finding her, Naruto asked her the same question. She immediately asked "Is Sasuke-kun gonna help?"
Naruto said "No he isn't. He thinks that because he's Rookie of the Year, he can defeat an Elite Jounin."
Sakura said "No. I'm not joining you. Besides, any plan you have is probably bound to fail anyway. You can't make a plan to save your life."
Naruto said "Fine then! I'll get a bell by myself. I don't need your help."
Naruto turned away from Sakura and walked out in the open. Seeing Naruto, Kakashi said "You're not very smart, are you?"
Naruto said "No, I'm very smart. I'm smart enough to realize that you knew where we were from the second we took off. We didn't fool you at all by hiding. So I said 'What's the point? He's an Elite Jounin and when he wants to find us, he can easily do it. We're just wasting time hiding.' So I decided to challenge you head-on for the bell."
Kakashi said "I'm not trying to sound conceited or anything, but you alone can't defeat me. I'm in a completely different league than you. You might have that fancy sword and cannon, but I still don't think they're enough for you alone to defeat me."
Naruto said "I know I can't defeat you alone. But the only help I have is Sasuke and Sakura, who won't help me. So I'm all alone. I might as well see where I stand in comparison to one of the best in the village."
Naruto pulled out the Omni Sword, and summoned the Positron Laser. If their plan was to work, the weapons would be crucial to it. Charging a small amount of energy into his attack, Naruto shot a blast at Kakashi. Kakashi dived to the side, where Naruto followed. Aiming for Kakashi's torso, Naruto tried to slice Kakashi. Kakashi was able to jump back and avoid it by a hairs' breath. Naruto jumped forward and tried for another slash, but with Kakashi's quick reflexes, Kakashi was able to duck under the sword slash. Kakashi jumped up with a front kick, but Naruto rolled under it behind Kakashi. Aiming his Laser at Kakashi's back, Naruto fired. Just before it hit, Kakashi used the Kawarimi to replace himself with a log.
Sensing Kakashi's chakra signature, Naruto used the Shunshin to appear behind Kakashi. Trying for an overhead slash, Naruto tried to vertically cut Kakashi in half. Kakashi easily rolled forward to dodge the strike, then turned around and kicked Naruto in the chest. Kakashi then started to backflip away to put some distance between him and Naruto.
Naruto tried three more blasts from the Positron Laser, but none hit. Dashing forward, Naruto was able to land a shallow cut on Kakashi's forearm, but Kakashi was able to land a punch to Naruto's jaw, then a kick to Naruto's chest. Naruto pulled his cannon forward and shot a blast out, but Kakashi easily dodged it.
Kakashi dodged Naruto's next three blasts, then Shunshin'ed behind Naruto. He had his hands in a Tora Seal. He then extended his fingers, yelling "Leaf Style Secret Finger Jutsu: One Thousand Years of Death!"
He then aimed his fingers for Naruto's rear end. Before they hit, Naruto was able to Shunshin out of the attack range. He appeared in the air above Kakashi, and did the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Suddenly, one of him turned to 30. Each of them had the Positron Laser and the Omni Sword.
Naruto yelled out "Attack!" and the 30-man battalion surrounded Kakashi. Kakashi was able to avoid the more deadly strikes, but got cuts all throughout his body. When he dodged a stab wound to the heart, he ended up with a cut along his back. When he jumped backwards from another strike, he ended up getting his leg cut. Even though the cuts were small, they were starting to add up. 'I should end this before things get too bad.' Avoiding another strike, Kakashi leaped into the air and started doing handseals at a lightning fast rate. He yelled out "Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!"
The Grand Fireball Jutsu was practically made for taking out opponents in a wide area. Taking a deep breath, Kakashi breathed out a huge mass of fire that descended on the clones. Unknown to Kakashi, he played right into Naruto's hands. Since Kakashi couldn't dodge in the air, and each clone had a Positron Laser, things were not looking good for Sharingan Kakashi. Each clone aimed the Laser at Kakashi, and fired off a shot. The 30 shots quickly pierced through the Grand Fireball and blasted Kakashi. Kakashi didn't have enough time to do Kawarimi, so he had to take the full brunt of the attack. Even though there were 30 blasts, they were severely weakened so that they wouldn't pierce human flesh.
When Kakashi was able to land, he looked over his wounds and thought to himself 'Could've been worse.'
Naruto said "That was a warning shot. I won't be so nice next time Kakashi-sensei."
Kakashi said "You won't have to. Earth Style: Mud Dragon Jutsu!"
Summoning a mud dragon, Kakashi commanded it to attack Naruto. The dragon turned its' head to Naruto, and spat out 10 mud balls. Naruto's clones blasted the mud balls, then the dragon, easily taking it down. Naruto turned his laser on Kakashi. Kakashi performed the Earth Style: Earth Protection Wall Jutsu quickly, then used the Shunshin to teleport away before the wall was blown through.
Reappearing behind a clone, Kakashi punched the clone through the head, then did the same to the 8 clones around him. When the clones took note of his presence, they tried to attack him, to no avail. Kakashi easily avoided all their attacks, then took them out when they were defenseless. Taking out 4 clones that way, Kakashi Shunshin'ed away before he was blasted again.
Reappearing a few feet away, Kakashi did a few handseals, then yelled out "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough Jutsu!"
The jutsu brought a great draft through the clearing, blowing Naruto and a few of his shadow clones backwards. Ending the Jutsu, Kakashi looked where Naruto was at to see Naruto use the Shunshin to disappear.
When Naruto reappeared behind Kakashi, he said "Tell me this, Kakashi-sensei, how are we supposed to function as a team when the teammates don't treat each other as equals? Sasuke is conceited and believes that he can do everything in the world by himself, so he disagreed to help me in my plan. Sakura is Sasuke's lapdog and follows him everywhere.
"In order to have a functioning team, the teammates must respect each other. We don't have that. We have an asshole, his bitch, and the guy who they always put down. As far as I'm concerned, we were doomed to fail from the start. This test is about teamwork. It's about being willing to put your needs aside for the needs of your fellow ninja. And that will never happen between us three. You might as well just fail us right now."
Naruto then used the Shunshin to disappear, leaving Kakashi to find the others. Eventually Kakashi did. He found Sakura easily, and knocked her out just as easy. All he had to do was put her into a weak Genjutsu that made her see her worst fear. Obviously, her worst fear was seeing Sasuke hurt. So when she saw that, she easily fainted from it.
Sasuke put up a fight. He was actually able to touch the bells, and surprised Kakashi by knowing the Grand Fireball Jutsu. But in the end, he did no harm to Kakashi. Kakashi easily beat him. And just to be an asshole, he buried Sasuke up to his head in the ground.
Before Kakashi could leave the place he buried Sasuke, he was blasted from behind. Turning around, he saw Naruto running at him with the Omni Sword. Kakashi took out a kunai and threw it at Naruto's chest, but it went through him. Kakashi realized too late 'Clone!' and was blasted from all directions by Naruto and his clones. Before Kakashi could move, Naruto had a clone run over to Kakashi. He made the clone a Daibakuha Bunshin. When it got close enough, the clone detonated, blowing Kakashi a few feet away onto the ground.
When Kakashi got back up, a Daibakuha Bunshin grabbed him from behind in a full nelson hold (the clone put its arms under Kakashi's underarms and pushed his hands on the back of Kakashi's head so Kakashi's arms are useless). Another clone rushed forward and took the bells. Before Kakashi could kick the clone though, the clone threw the bells into the treeline, where the original Naruto caught them. The Daibakuha Bunshin then blew up, damaging Kakashi also.
When Kakashi got up from the explosion, he saw that the timer went off. Unearthing Sasuke, who Naruto left lying there in the dirt, he took Sasuke back to the clearing, where Naruto and a recently recovered Sakura were waiting for him.
Kakashi said "I have to say, I'm surprised. I can' believe that Naruto actually got both bells. I didn't even think he would get one. But now I must ask Naruto, what do you plan to do with those bells?"
Naruto didn't say anything, but tossed a bell each to Sakura and Sasuke. Kakashi said "Well, you guys should thank Naruto. He just saved you guys from having to repeat the Academy. You pass."
The three genin felt like jumping for joy, but Kakashi said "Hold up. I'm not too convinced that you will be a good team. For that alone, I'll request to the Hokage that we do D-ranked Missions for 6 months before you get a single C-rank. If your teamwork hasn't improved by 6 months, I will not only drop you from the Konoha Ninja Program, I'll ask the Hokage to permanently ban you from ever entering again. Do I make myself clear?"
The three Genin responded with "Yes sensei."
"Good, now I'll start off by telling you how this will go. I'll tell you a technique to learn. You will learn it by a week. The week after that, I'll privately spend time with each of you to learn how you are independently training or learning. Also, during that week we'll be doing missions. We will be doing 3 D-ranks a day at least. Monday, I'll privately help Sasuke. Wednesday is Sakura's day. And Friday is Naruto's. Now let's start off the day with a few chakra control exercises. A standard Genin chakra control exercise is Tree Climbing."
Sakura said "Kakashi-sensei, how is climbing trees gonna help us control our chakra? Even Naruto can climb trees."
Kakashi said "Easy, you won't be allowed to use your hands."
At their confused expressions, Kakashi said "What I mean is that you will have to concentrate chakra to your feet to climb up. Then you have to walk up it like normal. If you concentrate too much chakra, you will destroy the bark under your feet. If you don't use enough, you won't stick. Each of you, take out a kunai and use it to mark your progress up the tree."
"Uuh, Kakashi," said Naruto "I already know this."
Kakashi said "You do? Who taught you?"
Naruto seamlessly lied "Iruka-sensei. He did it to try and help me get better chakra control."
Kakashi said "Well then, you just ruined my entire lesson plan for this week. My plan was for us to work on this for this entire week, but if you already know this then you can do independent training until Sakura and Sasuke learn this."
Naruto said "Okay then."
Naruto then walked over to a secluded section of the training ground and made a Shadow Clone. He then started sparring with the clone, trying to work on his taijutsu. He continued to train by himself until Kakashi told them that training was over. Before Naruto left though, Kakashi offered to spar against Naruto in Kenjutsu if Naruto ever needed it. They decided to have a spar every Friday.
Naruto then went to Team 8's training ground to get Hinata. They decided to stay at that training ground to study that night.
The week progressed much like that. Naruto would study every night with Hinata, and every day he would train independently, or drop hints to Sakura and Sasuke on how to do the training exercise. By their third day working on it, Sakura was able to get it. Sasuke took 3 days longer than Sakura, but by the next Monday, the teams were all able to walk up trees.
That Monday, Kakashi decided to have them do their first mission. It was chasing Tora the cat. The demon cat from hell led them on a chase for an entire hour, but they were able to complete that one, and 5 other D-ranks that day.
Later that day, Naruto got a message from the Ancient Warrior of Fire. "Naruto, it's time. Your ability to transform into a Digimon has been held back because of your body's inability to hold the power. But now that you're a helluva lot stronger, your body can handle my power. I think we should try it out now. You ready?"
Naruto scoffed and replied 'Come on, of course I am.'
The Ancient Warrior of Fire said "Okay then." and started flooding Naruto with its' energy. Naruto felt his own energy rise to higher and higher levels. Blue strips of something started covering him. As he was being covered, he started feeling his body mutate and change. The entire experience lasted for 10 seconds, but after it was over, Naruto felt a lot different.
After the strips left from shielding Naruto's body, he came out looking…. Different. He still looked like himself. He still had blonde hair and blue eyes. But that was about the only things that were the same.
His hair grew past his waistline. He grew an entire foot, standing at 5'10". His muscle tone increased to about 1.5 times as much as it was before. His clothes had also changed. He had on a black spandex bodysuit. He also had on some weird armor. He had on an orange facemask with three horns on it. The first was on his forehead and the last two were growing out of his temples. He had on red and white armor on his chest. He also had on forearm and shin armor that was red as well. On his wrist and ankles were white bands that had 3 holes on the top each. The armor encased his feet also. The armor had only space for 2 toes that looked like talons.
Naruto said "This feels great."
AncientGreymon said "Like it? This is the first stage of my power. You are Agunimon, the Human Spirit of Fire. I suggest that you train in this form for a while. Try to get used to it before another monster attack happens."
Naruto said 'Okay.'
So Naruto spent the rest of the day and a lot of his free time training and learning the powers that came with becoming Agunimon. It turns out, fusing with the Ancient Digimon Spirit of Fire made his chakra affinity turn from just Wind to Wind and Fire. Also, using Fire Style Ninjutsu while he was Agunimon made them a lot tougher.
Thanks to AncientGreymon and Minato, Naruto was able to learn how to add elements to his Shadow Clones. He could now easily make Fire Shadow Clones, and thanks to his fire abilities, he could make them take as many as 50 hits before dispelling. This helped him get an even faster control over his power.
The main problem about becoming Agunimon was that it got harder to use the Omni Sword and Positron Laser. In his human form, there was nothing to interfere. But in his Digmon Form, it was hard to keep control over his own Digimon powers and the powers that Imperialdramon sealed in his weapons that makes them work. AncientGreymon said that it would stay that hard until controlling the Ancient Digimon's chakra came just as second nature as controlling his own.
That Friday, Naruto and Kakashi were having a Kenjutsu battle. It turned out that Kakashi had a ninjatou from his old days as an ANBU agent and that all ANBU had to learn how to fight with one. He had just beaten Naruto in a match and had told Naruto the flaws in his stance and technique.
Before much more could be done, they heard a huge thud coming from somewhere, then a lot of screaming. Kakashi had a sneaking suspicion what it was, but he hoped to high Heaven that he was wrong. He said "Team 7, move out!"
They each followed his lead toward the source of the disturbance to see that there were three big creatures attacking the of them was a huge tan tortoise with spikes coming out of its' shell. The second creature had a huge blue shell which the bottom half of its' body was probably in. The upper half of it's body was black with green spots. It had amber eyes and huge pupils. It was destroying the recently rebuilt buildings.
The last creature walked on four legs. It's legs were stubby, but it had a 15 foot horn on its head. It had black armor all around it, with a white underbelly. It looked like a tricked-out triceratops.
Naruto mentally said to the Warrior of Fire 'I'm guessing they're Digimon.'
AncientGreymon said "Yep. The tan one is Tortomon. The black one with green spots is MoriShellmon. The black one with the huge horn is Monochromon.
"The weakest one is MoriShellmon. Like it's cousin Shellmon, the top half of its' body is completely defenseless. Also, since its' shell is big as hell, it's pretty slow. If you want to kill it, watch out for his attacks and the other two. MoriShellmon is tough…for a Rookie.
"Tortomon is the middle one of the group. His legs are strong enough for him to move quickly even though he has a huge shell. Also, his back legs are strong enough for him to stand on them alone. Most of his body is protected by his shell, so defeating him will be hard. His underbelly is protected, and his legs would probably be the weakest point.
"Monochromon is different. His armor is as tough as hell, so you'd have to pack some serious power to break through it. The Omni Sword should be able to cut through the armor, but that's probably it. You should tell the ninja to try and concentrate their attacks on Monochromon because he'd be the hardest to defeat."
Naruto said "How do you think I should tackle this? Regular, or Digimon?"
AncientGreymon said "You can beat them with just the weapons. But if I were you, I'd tackle it as a Digimon to gain the experience."
Naruto said "Okay then."
Naruto looked to Kakashi and said "What should we do?"
Sasuke said "Well, we can't just stand here and do nothing, can we? They'll destroy our home."
Naruto said "Kakashi, tell the ninja to concentrate their attacks on the black one. But they should know that it's armor is tough to get through."
Kakashi said "I think I can get through that armor."
Naruto looked at Kakashi and said "I hope so, because the rest of the guys will seriously need that help."
Kakashi said "How do you know how tough the black ones' armor is?"
Naruto said "I'll explain later, but for right now, we have to stop these monsters."
Naruto ran to the site where the Digimon were to see that they had already destroyed the buildings around them. MoriShellmon said "Haha! Run you stupid humans, run! Nothing you can do will stop us now!"
Naruto said 'AncientGreymon, I'm ready. Give it to me!'
AncientGreymon infused Naruto with his chakra, transforming him into Agunimon. Agunimon Shunshin'ed to a building in front of the Digimon. He focused energy into his right hand, making fire spew out of the holes in his gauntlet and cover his entire hand. He yelled "Oh, yeah, then how about this? Pyro Punch!"
The fire leapt off of Agunimon's hand and traveled down towards MoriShellmon. The front part of the attack had the shape of a dragon's head. The attack hit MoriShellmon in the face, knocking him back. Agunimon then jumped off the building he was on and fell towards Tortomon. He put his arms and hands to his sides and straightened out his legs, becoming a human missile. He commanded the fire to cover his entire body, adding more power to his attack. He yelled out "Fire Rocket!"
He crashed into Tortomon's head, slamming him into the ground. When he landed, Agunimon recovered quickly and hopped off of Tortomon. He then Shunshin'ed above Monochromon's head, sending a Pyro Punch towards it's head.
MoriShellmon yelled "Who the hell was that!"
Agunimon did handseals, creating two Fire Shadow Clones. He said "One of them for each of us."
The clones nodded and jumped towards their opponents.
(Against Tortomon)
Agunimon jumped forward towards Tortomon, who said "What the hell? How did you get the Legendary Spirit of Fire?"
Agunimon smirked and said "I have my ways."
He then Shunshin'ed above Tortomon. Agunimon started doing handseals and yelled "Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Breathing a huge ball of fire, Tortomon could do nothing but withdraw into its' shell to be protected from the onslaught. When Agunimon landed, Tortomon got out of its' shell, then yelled out "Shell Phalanx!"
All of a sudden, Tortomon's shell started glowing yellow and glowing spikes started coming out of it. The spikes shot up into the air, before turning around and aiming for Agunimon. Agunimon started shooting off Pyro Punches to meet each missile aimed at him. Agunimon hit some of them, but the missiles started swerving out of the way. Agunimon quickly Shunshin'ed into the air, causing the missiles to turn around and come back for him. Directing energy into his hands again, Agunimon yelled out "Pyro Punch!"
With each punch, a small stream of fire shot out of Agunimon's hands, hitting the spikes. Agunimon hit most of them, the rest were handled by the other Shinobi. When Agunimon landed, he started shooting Pyro Punches towards Tortomon. Surprisingly, Tortomon was able to avoid all of them. Agunimon Shunshin'ed towards Tortomon, coated his fist in fire, then punched Tortomon. Tortomon pulled his right forearm backwards and hit Agunimon back 20 feet. Agunimon hit the side of a building and fell down. As he was getting back up, he saw that something above him was blocking out the sun. Looking up, he saw Tortomon 25 feet in the air about to land on him! Luckily, Agunimon was able to Shunshin out of the way before he became a Digi-pancake.
Jumping towards Tortomon's head, Agunimon focused energy into his foot and kicked Tortomon in the head, knocking him to the left. Tortomon quickly got back up, and yelled "Shell Pile!"
Tortomon then tucked into its' shell and started spinning towards Agunimon at a quick pace. Agunimon tried to stop it using its fire attacks, but it didn't work. Tortomon slammed into Agunimon, forcing him back into a building. The Agunimon clone felt its' energy draining. It only had about 10 minutes before its' life was up. And that's if it didn't use any attacks. It needed a new source of energy and quick. That's when it hit him!
Agunimon got up and focused half of its' energy into its' foot. It used the Shunshin to appear by Tortomon's cheek. Agunimon then kicked Tortomon back 10 feet. Before Tortomon could get back up, another ninja yelled "Wood Style: Restraining Vines Jutsu!"
Just like before, the jutsu made thick vines sprout from the ground and keep Tortomon on the ground. Agunimon said "Thanks, now keep him down for a while!"
Agunimon yelled "I need every ninja here who knows a fire Jutsu to hit me with it right now!"
The ninjas looked at him confused. He said "It'll increase my power. Just do it, quick!"
The ninjas took his advice and started shooting a multitude of Fire Jutsu towards him. With each Jutsu that hit him, Agunimon's power grew. Soon, he had almost double the power that the original Agunimon had given him. He decided this was enough and told the ninja to stop.
Using his new power, Agunimon focused it throughout his body. Agunimon jumped into the air and yelled "Phoenix Burst!"
Fire sprouted from every part of Agunimon's body. The fire shot out and took the form of a phoenix. Agunimon then turned downward and dive-bombed towards Tortomon. Tortomon saw the attack and withdrew in its' shell. Agunimon saw Tortomon withdraw into its' shell, but paid it no mind and crashed into Tortomon's shell. When he hit the shell, it partly cracked Tortomon's shell and rattled Tortomon inside it. The attack knocked Tortomon unconscious, which was just how Agunimon wanted it. Now Tortomon could be purified by the original Naruto. The clone dispersed in a flash of fire, seeing that its' work was done.
(With MoriShellmon)
The real Agunimon had decided to tackle this one. AncientGreymon said it was the weakest, so Agunimon had decided on taking that one out quickly. Before he could do anything though, he heard a loud yell and saw that MoriShellmon was right next to him. Before he could jump away, MoriShellmon had grabbed him and threw him into a tree. Before Agunimon could do anything, he heard a cry of "Rock Spitter!"
MoriShellmon had started shooting boulders at him from his throat. As they hit Agunimon, he started getting mad. 'This damn tree slug just threw up on me! What the hell?
Agunimon Shunshin'ed out of his boulder prison and teleported in front of MoriShellmon. Agunimon quickly jumped up and shot off a Pyro Punch right in MoriShellmon's face. The Pyro Punch knocked MoriShellmon back as Agunimon rushed forward to continue the assault. Agunimon jumped up and started twisting in the air. As he was twisting, fire started to come out of the holes in his armor. Agunimon yelled out "Pyro Tornado!"
Agunimon jumped towards MoriShellmon and slammed in MoriShellmon, which burnt MoriShellmon badly and knocked him back. As soon as he landed, Agunimon rushed forward to capitalize on MoriShellmon's pain, but when he was 5 feet away, MoriShellmon yelled out "Shell Pile!"
MoriShellmon quickly tucked itself into its' shell and started spinning as it shot itself at Agunimon like a top. Agunimon barely dodged the attack, but had to run as MoriShellmon turned around and chased him. Agunimon backed himself into a wall and waited until MoriShellmon shot at him again. Agunimon waited until the last second, then used Shunshin to appear behind MoriShellmon. MoriShellmon crashed into the building, becoming partly submerged in rubble. While it was in there, Agunimon jumped to the top of a building next to them, then jumped off. As he jumped off, he yelled "Fire Rocket!"
Every inch of Agunimon's body sprouted fire as he crashed headfirst into MoriShellmon, causing it to yell in pain. MoriShellmon dug itself out of the building, then turned to Agunimon and yelled out "Rock Spitter!"
MoriShellmon started regurgitating boulders on a direct course with Agunimon. Agunimon sent a few Pyro Punches at the boulders, but they didn't do anything to it. Agunimon was about to dodge, but a yell of "Dynamic Entry!" stopped him.
Gai jumped in the way and kicked the boulder as it split in two. Gai turned back to Agunimon and said "I thought you might need a little bit of help."
Agunimon muttered "Arigatou gozaimasu" as he and Gai turned back to the boulders and started smashing them with their fists. Eventually, they turned the boulders into powder. Gai rushed forward and jumped towards MoriShellmon as he yelled out "Great Leaf Hurricane!"
Gai's foot impacted with MoriShellmon's face and sent him flying back, as Agunimon Shunshin'ed in the way of MoriShellmon and yelled out "Pyro Punch!"
Agunimon released two Pyro Punches point blank at MoriShellmon, causing him to crash into the ground. When it got back up, MoriShellmon said "Damn you! Damn you all! I'll teach you to mess around with me. Mind Fog!"
Out of MoriShellmon's mouth came a dark purple cloud of gas. At first, the gas reached Gai, then quickly engulfed the other ninja in the crowd. As reality set in, the ninja all started to jump to the tops of the roofs to get away from the gas cloud. Some of them couldn't get away though. The gas had infected their system, and they were left coughing on the ground as the cloud covered them. Agunimon quickly jumped to the roof and said to his tenants 'AncientGreymon, what's up with this Mind Fog attack?'
The Ancient Warrior of Fire quickly said to him "That Mind Fog attack damages someone's mind. At first, you'll lose movement or reflex speed. But if you breathe in too much, you'll eventually start to lose your sight, then you'll lose your mind and die. We need to get this stuff out of the village before it reaches anyone else."
Before Naruto had to do anything, he heard Team Ten's sensei yell out "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
All of a sudden, a huge wind blew past, blowing the Mind Fog out of the way. Looking down, Agunimon saw that there were many ninja that fell victim to the Mind Fog. Agunimon quickly moved to them and picked one up. He moved the guy to a building that was away from the battling so he'd be safe. Agunimon then went back and saw that there were some of them that were aiding him in moving people away. When it was done, Agunimon went to a nearby building top. Agunimon then jumped off of the building, shooting off Pyro Punches while he was falling. When he landed, Agunimon rushed towards MoriShellmon. When he was close enough, Agunimon jumped towards MoriShellmon and caught on fire to hit him with a Fire Rocket. As MoriShellmon was knocked back from the attack, Asuma jumped forward and started doing handseals. When he finished, he yelled out "Fire Style: Burning Ash Accumulation!"
Asuma breathed out a gigantic black plume of smoke which covered MoriShellmon. Asuma clicked his teeth and the black ash caught fire, severely burning MoriShellmon. Agunimon thought 'Wow, AncientGreymon was right. MoriShellmon is basically a rookie.'
Agunimon aimed a Pyro Punch at MoriShellmon's head, but MoriShellmon withdrew into its' shell. Agunimon rushed forward and started punching and kicking MoriShellmon's shell, but couldn't do any damage to it. All of a sudden, Agunimon felt a migraine coming on. 'What the hell. Both of my clones already dispelled.'
Before Agunimon could jump back, MoriShellmon yelled out "Shell Pile!"
Agunimon thought 'This is not gonna feel good.'
Before Agunimon could be hit though, Gai jumped in the way and kicked MoriShellmon back like a soccer ball. MoriShellmon was knocked into a building and stuck in there. Agunimon thought 'I need to finish this quick. That last one won't go down so easy.'
Agunimon jumped towards MoriShellmon and hit it with a Fire Rocket. As the monster screamed in pain, Naruto heard Asuma yell "Hey! Go help Kakashi with the last one! We got this one!"
Agunimon nodded and took off towards where the last group was handling Monochromon. They were able to stop it from destroying buildings, but they hadn't done any significant damage. Monochromon's armor was too thick for regular kunai and shuriken to get through. But the armor was mostly on his back, so his underside was its' weak spot. Also, Naruto saw a red burn on Monochromon's belly, the result of his clone's last resort. It caused a bad burn on Monochromon's body, but it caused the clone to dispel.
Agunimon started doing handseals and yelled "Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!"
Agunimon blew out a huge ball of fire that hit Monochromon right in its' burn, causing it to roar in pain. Monochromon turned his way and yelled out "Volcanic Strike!"
Out of Monochromon's mouth came a ball of lava that hit Agunimon right in the chest. As Agunimon was getting up, he saw Monochromon come rushing at him with its' horn down. Agunimon thought 'Oh shit!'
Behind him, he heard a voice yell "Earth Style: Earth Projection Wall Jutsu!"
A huge wall of rock rose up inbetween Naruto and Monochromon. Monochromon ran into it and got its horn stuck in it. Agunimon looked up to see Kakashi standing over him. Agunimon quickly muttered "Arigatou" and Shunshin'ed to Monochromon's burn. Agunimon yelled out "Pyro Punch" and covered his hands in fire, then he punched Monochromon and let the attack out point blank. Monochromon roared in pain yet again and tried to get its' horn out, but continuously failed. Seeing the burn, Kakashi did some handseals and yelled out "Wind Style: Blade of Wind!"
Kakashi extended his index and middle fingers. Wind started to circle the two digits to form an invisible blade. Kakashi rushed towards Monochromon's burn and stabbed the wind blade into it, causing Monochromon to yell out again. The Digimon's thrashing eventually freed its' horn.
As it's horn became free, it turned to Agunimon and charged him. Agunimon easily jumped over Monochromon. When he landed, Agunimon started doing handseals, then yelled "Hokage Bunshin no Jutsu!" (Fire Shadow Clone Jutsu!)
In 10 plumes of fire, 10 clones appeared. Each of the clones ran forward and surrounded Monochromon. When they were all around them, the clones yelled "Kamikaze Charge!"
Each clone charged forward and yelled "Hokage Bunshin Daibakuha!" (Fire Shadow Clone Great Explosion!)
When the clones got close to Monochromon, they all blew up. With each one, Monochromon flinched from the pain. Seeing that Monochromon was distracted, Kakashi flipped up his headband to reveal his Sharingan. Kakashi dashed behind Monochromon and started doing handseals. As he grabbed his wrist and pointed his palm down, Kakashi yelled out "Raikiri!"
After encasing his land in lightning, Kakashi ran towards Monochromon's back legs. With one pass through, Kakashi made a deep cut into both of Monochromon's back legs. As Kakashi did that, Agunimon jumped back to give himself some running room. Agunimon then started running at a full sprint towards Monochromon. Agunimon then yelled out "Fire Rocket!"
Agunimon encased himself in fire and jumped towards Monochromon. Monochromon yelled out "Volcanic Strike!"
Out of Monochromon's mouth came another ball of lava. The ball crashed into Agunimon, who used the propulsion of his Fire Rocket to push it back. Agunimon pushed through the Volcanic Strike only to meet another one. Agunimon pushed through that one, but his Fire Rocket attack started to die down. Agunimon knew that he couldn't get through this third one. Right before his attack died out completely, he heard a voice behind him yell "Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!"
Turning around, Agunimon saw that it was Sasuke who launched the attack at him. Agunimon closed his eyes and embraced the power of the attack that Sasuke gave him. With the power, he was able to push his Fire Rocket back to full power, and with it, he blew through the third Volcanic Strike attack and crashed into Monochromon. Monochromon let loose a loud yell of pain as he became a black silhouette. Seeing that he had his chance, Agunimon transformed back to Naruto and summoned the Omni Sword.
"The choices that you've made in your lives led to this moment. It was your choice to appear in my world, it was your choice to attack my home, and now, your choices just got you killed. Hopefully when you're reincarnated, you'll make better ones. Digicore, Purify!"
Naruto then jumped towards Monochromon and slashed him. The strips of Digital code circling Monochromon entered the Omni Sword, then went back to the Digi-egg that was left. The Digi-egg floated into the sky, until it made its' own portal to the Digital World.
After taking out Monochromon, Naruto was approached by Kakashi. Kakashi chuckled lightly and said "I should've known that it was you behind that armor. You're the only one dumb enough to attack these monsters head on like that."
Naruto got an embarrassed look on his face and said "You're not mad at me, are you?"
Kakashi said "I am a little angry. Naruto, I'm your sensei. I'm here to help you become a better ninja. I need to know what you can do, so I know when and how to help you. Now, how can I help you become a better ninja if I don't know what you can do?"
Naruto said "I understand Kakashi-sensei."
Kakashi said "After this battle Naruto, we're gonna have a discussion about your abilities. But for now, let's finish off these monsters."
Naruto nodded at Kakashi's statement. Naruto turned to Tortomon and Shunshin'ed towards it. When he got to him, Naruto summoned the Positron Laser and blasted Tortomon. Tortomon let loose a yell of pain as Naruto kept blasting Tortomon.
Tortomon became enraged and yelled out "Shell Phalanx!"
Out of Tortomon's shell came yellow glowing spikes. Naruto easily shot down many of the spikes as the other ninja got the rest. Naruto rushed forward to cut Tortomon, but Tortomon swung its' head toward Naruto and knocked him away. Naruto flipped in the air, stuck to the side of a building, then jumped back towards Tortomon and shot him in the head. Tortomon let loose a yell of pain, only to have a ninja yell "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
Out of a nearby stream rose a huge dragon of water that knocked Tortomon over and soaked him. As he fell, Kakashi yelled "Lightning Style: Lightning Dragon Jutsu!"
The clouds above started to darken, and out of the clouds came a lightning dragon that crashed into Tortomon and made it scream out in pain. As the electricity coursed through Tortomon, Tortomon turned into a black silhouette. Naruto quickly purified Tortomon and thought 'And then, there was one.'
Naruto appeared next to MoriShellmon to see that the rest of the ninja already had him on the run. He hadn't moved an inch since Naruto left, and the ninja hadn't given an inch. Naruto jumped to the top of a nearby building and started doing hanseals. He yelled out "Hokage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Multiple plumes of fire turned into multiple clones. The clones jumped off of the building and crashed into MoriShellmon, yelling "Hokage Bunshin Daibakuha!"
The clones all exploded on contact, causing MoriShellmon to scream out. After 10 seconds of continuous fire, MoriShellmon turned into a black silhouette. Naruto jumped off of the building and stabbed MoriShellmon into the head to purify him.
As Naruto landed and dispelled the Omni Sword, he felt the adrenaline of the battle left him. Naruto fell to the ground as exhaustion and fatigue set in. Naruto felt someone lift him up by the back of his shirt, but he paid it no mind. He was too tired to care.
Kakashi carried Naruto to the Hokage Tower while the Hokage walked beside him. When they arrived, the Hokage started to set up privacy seals so that nothing in their speech would be given away. The Hokage reached into his battle gear and pulled out a soldier pill, which he gave to Naruto.
As the energy returned to Naruto, Naruto stood back up and looked at the Hokage. He said "Why'd you guys carry me here?"
Kakashi walked over to a chair and sat down in it, motioning for Naruto to do the same. As the Hokage took his seat in the room, Kakashi said "Naruto, we have to talk about that armor you had on today. The way it changed your appearance, people could say that the Kyuubi sealed inside of you is breaking free."
Naruto looked at Kakashi as if he had grown an extra head. "What are you talking about? It didn't change my appearance that much."
Kakashi said "Naruto, you grew a foot in height, put on what looked like 80 pounds of muscle, and your hair grew past your ass. I would count that as 'much.'"
Sarutobi said "Kakashi's right, Naruto. The sudden change in appearance is very abnormal. Knowing the intelligence (or lack thereof) of the villagers, they will conclude that the Kyuubi no Yoko's energy is leaking through to you. I can get them to calm down, but before I do that, I want to know the truth. Where the hell did that armor come from?"
Naruto said "Okay then, but it's a long story."
And so, Naruto told them everything. From the Kyuubi actually being AncientGreymon, to his father being sealed inside him, to the threat from King Drasil. They were of course skeptical until Naruto showed them proof. Mainly, that proof was allowing Minato to control a shadow clone and spill their dirty secrets. After 10 straight minutes of Naruto rolling on the floor laughing his ass off, Sarutobi said "Okay Minato, I believe you. Just for the love of God, shut the hell up."
Kakashi said "It really is you, Minato-sensei?"
Minato nodded and said "Yep, it's me alright. And I gotta say, I like what you're doing to your team, Kakashi."
Kakashi said "Thank you, sensei."
Minato said "Okay, but now it's time to get down to the real reason we're here. What are we gonna do about Drasil?"
Sarutobi said "We're already doing what we can about these 'Digimon' attacks, but unless we can stop them at the source, we're just biding our time until we meet one we can't defeat."
Minato said "Well, unless we can march an army into the Digital World that option's out. We need to find out a way to bring back the Ancient Warriors."
Sarutobi commented "But to bring the Jinchuuriki together would take nothing short of a village alliance."
Minato said "If AncientGreymon's stories are anything to go by, a village alliance is the least that we'll need."
Kakashi said "I understand that the Kyuubi was under the influence of someone else when it attacked our village. But even so, the Bijuu have been known for causing wanton destruction. How are we sure that the other Bijuu are as level-headed as the Kyuubi?"
Minato thought about what Kakashi stated and said "Good point. We really have no idea. For all we know, the rest of the Bijuu could be bat-shit crazy. But then again, we thought the exact same about AncientGreymon when he attacked out village. We need to give them a chance."
Kakashi nodded and said "If you say so."
Sarutobi said "But even if we do create a village alliance, how can we be so sure that the other Jinchuuriki could do the same thing that Naruto does? How do we know that the other Jinchuuriki are the right choice for becoming the Ancient Warriors?"
Minato said "It's the Bijuu who choose. If their Jinchuuriki isn't right for the Ancient Warriors, then they won't become one. They can't force the change as far as I know. Besides, if the worst case scenario comes up, we can try to break the seal, let the Bijuu out, and then they can choose their own warrior."
Sarutobi sighed. "I should've given this job to Kakashi as soon as you died, Minato."
Kakashi said "With the way you bitch and complain about it? Not in a million years."
Naruto jumped back in the conversation and said "So Ojii-san, can we count on your help for this?"`
Sarutobi nodded and said "Of course you can. I'll see what I can do to help."
Kakashi said "I'll help out in any way I can too. I know a few Fire and Wind style Jutsu that could help Naruto."
Minato nodded and said "I can't thank you two enough for this. Now, we just need to prepare for the next battle."
Sarutobi said "If what you said is true, we're gonna need all the help we can get."
(End)
