Naruto: Legend of Kumo
By NamikazeNarutoK12
Hi guys here is Chapter Two
Ok so here are the responses to my six reviews (thank you so much, I was really excited. Also thank you all who favorite and followed.)
spartan593-Thank you for reviewing. N of Kumo is a fantastic story, I strongly recommend it for anyone who hasn't read it.
The Immortal Doctor Reid- thanks I tried hard on that Omoi rant, I like yours though, makes me think you should write a story from Omoi's pov.
Bankai777- Thanks, but why would I tell you that.
JxA fan 2000- Thanks and definitely.
Titokhan- Thanks for reviewing. First off yeah unfortunately I'm still stuck on Uchiha Naruto, feel like I closed too many opportunities in the beginning. Anyway I do love NaruHina, but I think it's interesting to explore the pure fannoness of NaruYugi which will never be cannon. As for the Dojutsu, Naruto's will have certain special powers. He will only get those elements listed no all five like the rinnegan. The different will seem straightforward but youll get some surprises later. Cloud is water x Air. Yeah I know my sealing ideas aren't original but I liked the ideas when I read the stories, pus no matter how much I try I can't come up with a new one. As for sensory stuff, that develops as he uses the eye so it's possible that it can e affected by Kurama. You've read Uchiha Naruto so you know that this isn't my first multiple summoning. I haven't read an accelerated academy story before, so I'll try to read some. Thought that Neji with a sword would be pretty lethal. And I was implying That Neji was on the team with the sensei I hadn't named yet.
anarion87-Thank you very much kind sir or madam.
Black Flame of Destruction- thanks and *facepalm* I know that if you check out my other stories I do that, guess it slipped my mind.
Guest-care to explain.

Now on with the fiction
Chapter Two: A Turbulent Trail.
The sun set behind the mountains of Kumogakure. All nine of the young academy students were sleeping in bed. Tomorrow would be the day of their Genin test, they would become true Shinobi.
The Genin test of the Kumo advanced class was arguably the hardest in all of the Shinobi nations. Your "Academy team" would take a C-rank mission; if your sensei found your team's actions acceptable then you became an elite Genin. The title of elite Genin meant that you and your Genin team could go on B-rank missions with your sensei and C-rank missions without your sensei. If your team failed the examination you were filtered into the standard academy.
The sun rose in the sky, today was finally the day, you could feel the excitement rising with the sun. The nine academy students were lined up with their respective sensei behind them.
"I Keechi Tukagu nominate team fog ;consisting of Neji Sōgyō, Nanami Ippan, Hachiro Kuma; for the Kumo Elite Genin examination." A man said, he wore his Hi-ate over both his eyes indicating he was blind, but Itachi had told them that the man was a B-rank Nin. The Raikage handed them a blue folder indicating a C rank mission and they left.
"I Itachi Kazoku, nominate team cloud consisting of Naruto Uzumaki, Yugito Nii, and Ai Kuriā for the Kumo Elite Genin examination." Said Itachi, his hair had grown longer and darker.
"Here team cloud." Was all the Raikage said as he handed the team the blue folder. However, he thought to himself 'Minato, Kushina his fate is out of my hands. I hope he is safe for your sake and mine.'
Itachi and his team made their way to training ground 14. Itachi began to speak.
"Team cloud, this mission will decide your fate as ninja. The details of the mission are simple, we are hunting a pack of wolves that is terrorizing a village in the land of hot water." The man stated. "I want each of you to go home and inform your family members you will be leaving, pack for a two-week trip. Return to the gates at 1300 hours. Dismissed." Said Itachi.
The team members immediately made their way to their homes.
Naruto was frazzled to say the least. He, for all his training, had no idea what to pack. He had 150 complete meal bars, camping equipment, and five changes of clothes. 'What else do I need, I feel like I'm forgetting something.' He thought. 'Holy Sh**, I didn't pack any weapons, and I should see if we have any books on wolves.' Naruto looked at the clock and saw he only had 20 minutes left. He quickly grabbed 10 of his sealed weapon packs, slung his sword on his back. He ran into the library and grabbed two books on wolves. He grabbed two sealing scrolls and three patches. In one he put clothes and food for extended periods. In the second he placed daily food supplies. He applied the first patch to the small of his back, there he sealed kunai. In the second patch he sealed senbon which he placed in his wrist. The third patch, for shuriken went on his forearm.
He looked at the clock again and saw he had 8 minutes, he left the house and made his way to the gate.
"Good to see you are all here on time. Now, I am only here to play a supporting role in this mission. I would like you all to decide amongst yourself the formation in which we will be traveling in." said Itachi with a curious look, he wondered what his team would decide. The group huddled together.
"Ok, the village we are going to is two days from here and half a day from the land of hot water's border. I think we should go straight to the border and then break there before we go to the village." Began Naruto.
"I agree, as for formation I think it should be a standard kite formation; Naruto on point, Yugito on left, myself on right and Itachi- sensei to the back." Said Ai.
"Once we get near to the village I believe we should camp for a night to make an observation of the area and then the next day we can enter the village and see the client." Said Yugito. The group nodded. Yugito turned around and presented their idea to Itachi.
"Itachi-sensei" she began calling the man's attention to her "We have decided to move in a kite formation; Naruto point, myself left, Ai right, with you trailing. We will rest when we reach the land of hot water's border and then make our way to the village. Once we are in the vicinity we will camp in the forest for one night and make observations. The next day we will enter the village and consult with the client. The order of command structure will be Naruto, above Ai and myself with yourself as supervising officer," said Yugito in a stern and serious voice.
"I find this plan acceptable, Naruto you are in command from here on, of course this is barring any unforeseen circumstance." Replied Itachi with a straight face, on the inside he grinned happy at the plan his students had constructed.
"Ok team let's move, in formation" Naruto said in a commanding, yet friendly tone.
The team had been moving for about 36 hours but their senses hadn't dulled. Naruto was being extremely careful, this wasn't just about passing the Genin test, and this was about proving himself as a leader.
There was movement in the bushes about 15 meters from them. It was slight. Naruto sent out a dulled kunai with a ration seal which would paralyze anything from a rabbit to an Ussuri brown bear. The team slowed with the Genin forming a line with Itachi behind them.
They saw a man lying, with the Kunai in his hand, on the ground he had a music note Hi-ate on his fore-head and a crossed out cloud Hi-ate on his arm, the man seemed to have been coming from the land of Hot water.
"That man is Ogaki Mato he left the cloud village around six months ago. I am unsure of this music Hi-ate though. Do you have any idea Itachi-sensei?" said Naruto, he knew the man because he kept track of most of the missing Nin from Kumo. The man had been a Chunin of the Cloud village, he was considered to be a mid c-rank missing Nin.
"No Naruto-kun, I am unsure as well, I am impressed though of your knowledge of missing Nin. Is it possible for you to seal him alive we have him questioned when we return. Naruto simply nodded and proceeded with the sealing. After he finished the sealing he spoke to the team.
"Before we continue I want all of you to be more alert. His presence could mean increased missing Nin activity in the border region." Said Naruto, and with that the group got moving.
The team had made their way to the village without incident. The group had been camping for hours looking around the area. Unfortunately they found nothing, they ended up talking around the camp fire.
The three Kumo ninja walked into the small village and mad their way to the center, there was a large building there that was the mayor's office. The team entered and made their way to the secretary.
"Hello secretary-san, we are the Kumo ninja your mayor requested, can we please speak with him." Asked Naruto since he was technically in command of the mission.
"Ah yes ninja-san the mayor is not busy right now so you may see him." The short lady said.
They entered the mayor's office and the mayor began to speak.
"Hello, you must be the Kumo ninja we requested. My name is Omo and I am the mayor of this town. The reason we contacted you s because for the last three months a pack of oversized, vicious wolves have been tormenting the village. We were managing but a week and a half ago they killed my niece, she was their first kill. They have killed two people since then. They attack only in the middle of the day at exactly noon." Said the man as he glanced at the clock it was now 11:45.
"Seeing the time we will go outside and meet these wolves. We will either draw them away from the village or exterminate them." With that the team exited the building. They saw that the once bustling streets were now void of any human life. They only saw a few people who dared to peek out the windows of their homes. It was if the shinigami himself had paid a visit to the town. The team saw, of in the distance a group of wolves approaching, they were truly demonic in their appearance. Naruto looked at the wolves which began jumping on top of the houses, each were exact clones of one another.
Each wolf was pure black and had blood red eyes and had a blood red strip on their back. Naruto sent six kunai at them they each died instantly. 'To simple' was the thought that went through their heads. As they approached the wolves Naruto reached out to touch one, trying to see what their levels of chakra had been. As soon as he did they disintegrated.
"I do not think this mission is complete, I believe we should stay tomorrow as well and further in investigate these 'wolves'" said Yugito, she made sure to put air quotes around the wolves.
"At least now we know these wolves weren't natural." Said Naruto. Ai and Itachi replied simply by nodding.
Later in the Hotel.
"Ai is something wrong?" questioned Yugito, she had known her teammate long enough to see that her behavior was off.
"Why do you ask Yugito?" asked Ai, she didn't want her friend and fellow kunoichi to see her as weak and was trying to hide her problems.
"Don't try to hide things, I can help you with your problems; we are friends." Said Yugito, in truth she didn't want to pry, but at the same time she didn't want her friend burying herself n her problems.
"I know I just didn't want you to see me acting weak" said Ai. Yugito busted out laughing.
"You are kidding right. Ai even the best ninja in the world are human. I would rather you just be a little sad for a while than to end up like killer bee and rap all the time, or worse you could end up like Raikage-sama and break everything you touch when you're angry." Said Yugito. Her plan had worked and Ai smiled, if only slightly.
"Alright…a couple of weeks ago my cousin died. She had a mission in the land of rice and was killed by an unknown ninja. I know that being a ninja had its risk and all, but she was the first immediate family member I've lost. She was only sixteen years old…" the girl said quietly. She didn't cry but her face was covered by her pillow. Yugito nodded solemnly, remembering back to her own time of pain when she lost her aunt.
"I understand, but know this Naruto and I will never leave you and we will always protect each other. Anyway I doubt Itachi-sensei would let anything happen to us. Just try to get some sleep and remember never forget but don't always remember." Said Yugito. Ai just looked at the girl in front of her and nodded. After that they both went to sleep.
In Itachi and Naruto's room.
Naruto and Itachi both laid in their beds. Neither of them could sleep.
"Itachi-sensei, I don't mean to bother you, but what is Konoha like?" asked Naruto, he had been plagued by dreams that were not really nightmares or great adventures. He had been dreaming about what his life would have been if his parents had survived"
Why the sudden interest in Konoha Naruto?" replied Itachi, he had no attachment to his life their anymore, the only thing in that village he thought about were his brother, and his sempai.
"Well Itachi-sensei, have you been made aware of my true lineage?" asked Naruto.
"No Naruto, I only know of your burden." Said Itachi, he was now genuinely curious as to who Naruto's parents were.
"What I am about to tell you sensei is an S-ranked secret, to my knowledge this is only known to myself, the Shinobi council and the clan heirs." Said Naruto, he was allowed to tell anyone he trusted and one of the people he trusted the most was Itachi. The pair had grown into an older-younger brother relationship. In fact when not on a mission the Naruto referred to him as Nissan.
"Well Itachi-sensei, my father was Namikaze Minato and my mother was Uzumaki Kushina." Said Naruto. The reaction he got was unexpected, Itachi almost yelled.
"WHATT" said Itachi, he regained control of himself after a while, and he decided to ask the Raikage about how Naruto ended up in Kumo. "Well then I'll tell you, Konoha is a slightly bigger village and it has more civilians. The village is surrounded by a gorgeous forest. I'm sorry Naruto, I'm probably not a good person to ask; you see my clan made me train. I was their genius and as such I was only allowed to commit my ninja duties." Said Itachi.
"Sorry for bringing up bad memories sensei." Said Naruto. "Sensei, when we get back home can you help me with some of my elemental training, I'm trying to master the blue fire of my eye. It will help me get better with my Kenjutsu." Said Naruto
"Alright Naruto, I'll help you. Now let's go to sleep I feel like we'll need it tomorrow." Itachi said worried about how his students would perform under the stress of an undocumented threat. He silently wondered if this was how Kakashi felt when he made him the Captain of the Anbu.
The Next day at around 11:30.
"Ok I have been planning our next attempt at stopping these wolves. Itachi will activate his Rabugan (meaning Of Love Eye, basically Itachi renamed Mangekyo as to avoid suspicion) (on another side note Itachi took Shisui's eyes and as he had the blindness start happening he got them transplanted i.e. he has eternal Mangekyo) and I will activate my Zandukagan and see if we can't find anything funny about these wolves. Ai you will create a crystal wall at the opening of the village and keep them trapped. Yugito your job is to be on damage control and stop the wolves from destroying the village." Said Naruto, he looked toward Itachi for conformation of his strategy, the raven-haired man simply nodded.
The streets of the village were quiet. The wolves had entered the village, they didn't react at the fact a crystal wall had risen from behind them, and they simply kept running.
Naruto blinked reveling his Zandukagan, immediately the wolves' glowed red, they had a large seal on their back. Naruto cringed, this mission was no simple c-rank anymore. His mind and eyes kicked into action. He analyzed the seal and first removed the fail safe kill switch. After that he took each piece of the seal off one by one. When he finally finished the unexpected happened.
The things that were once wolves were now unconscious people, among them was the familiar body of Ai's cousin.
"Yume!" screamed the girl, as soon as she saw the body.
"Naruto you are relieved of command." Said Itachi, he was unsure of whether they should continue the mission with the knowledge that someone had sealed these people and turned their bodies into animals. Naruto simply sighed in relief.
"Ai-chan im sorry but we need to seal the bodies that way they can remain in stasis for the mission duration." Said Itachi. "Naruto leave the one that looks well enough out we need to interrogate them to see what is going on here."
1 hour later
"Where am I?" asked the girl, she had jet black hair, and a pale face and she had blue eyes. She seemed to be around 13 years old
"Hello, you are in a hotel, we believe you were captured and experimented on. We are sorry, but we need to ask you some question. Do you mind telling us what your name is to start off?" said Yugito, who the group had decided was the least threatening.
"M…my name is Yozora… Do you know where my sister is, her name…is Haku?" said the little girl as everything cam flashing back.
I promise that the chapters will eventually get longer just trying to get in the swing of writing Fan fiction again.
I thought this would be a good setup for wave plus we get our first mention of Oto.
For those who are worried about Danzo don't be, I have ideas… (Insert creepy/evil laughter here)
This is my latest fan fiction attempt, I am not stopping Uchiha Naruto, but I've lost inspiration for the time being . I am proud of this idea. This story will be strictly NaruYugi . I would really appreciate it if you all could review and give me constructive criticism…Also check out my other stories THE SIXTH EVIL and UCHIHA NARUTO.
And as always tell me what you think…
.THANKS, NAMIKAZENARUTOK12
