Return to Konaha
I own nothing it goes to respective owners
12 years has passed
Naruto stood in the middle of a clearing. He was about 5' 5", and through his training had toned muscules. He wore bronze scale armor vest, painted red, and bronze chainmail on his waist, going down to his knees. Bronze greaves were lower down and he wore steel toed boots. He had a wood shield with bronze edging to give it strenght, and was painted red. His weapon was a one handed, double bladed iron war axe. Five shinobi jumped out of the shadows and surrounded him, all of them had a music note on there headbands. Naruto could tell with the look in there eyes they were sent to kill him, who sent them it didn't matter.
The first one jumped and then tried to flying punch him, but Naruto coutered, breaking his cheekbone with the edge of his shield, and the shinobi lay dieing because of bone splinters flying about in his head. Two of them then countered attacked, one trying to distract Naruto with high frequency sounds to scramble his brain, and the other put on metal gauntlets to increase damage to punches. Naruto backed behind his sheild and too the full force of his punches, as for the sound, his helmet made him hard of hearing. He took his axe, and split his head with a downward chop, then swung over the shoulder, down and then a uppercut on the one that tried to distract him, cutting into his groin, up through his belly, and then breaking his ribs. Another one got him in a head lock and tried to stab a kunai in his neck, but the helmet's neck guard protected against any real damage.
Naruto got out of his lock with a shield bash to his head, then swung around with a sideways chop to the neck. The final one high tailed it and ran as fast as he legs could carry him. He smirk, then took a rag out of a pouch and cleaned off his shield and axe of blood. Another shape came out of woods, Draco.
"You sent them to fight me?" Naruto asked
"I wish I didn't, there goes ten thousand yen I spent hiring them that I'm never getting back." Draco replied
"Whats next?" Naruto asked
"Nothing, your training is complete." Draco replied, and started walking back to camp
Naruto smiled, then ran back to camp with joy, and started to pack his belongings, how few there were. He rolled up his bed roll, and then picked up a quiver of bronze tipped arrows and a composite bow, and started heading down the road with Draco, for Konaha.
Later that day, along the road
In the blackness of night, the two were passing by a old tower call Red Redoubt, a old crumbling tower, usually deserted, but that night a fire could be seen. Naruto and Draco thought it would be a good place to crash for the night, however they didn't know someone else had claimed it. Two fur clad bandit's were dragging a wolf cub.
"Did you bring it?" A raspy womans voice asked
"Ya, we got the wolf you asked for." One of them replied
The woman stepped out of the shadows. She was old and sickly, with ragged clothes and a wrinkled face. Her hands had bird talons on them and on her arms and shoulders were large black feathers.
"Why do we have to listen to this Hagraven?" The other muttered
"Do you want me to cook you alive!" She squawked and embers appeared on her hands
"No mame." The same some replied, and they noticed the wolf wasn't dead, only unconsious
"Good. Now kill it!" She screeched
They pulled out there iron maces and were ready to beat him to death. Behind there backs Draco's mouth flared white, and stream of white flames incinerated the three. Naruto and Draco then stood around the unconsious wolf.
"I don't believe it, its a wolf demon." Draco said
"Why are you surprised?" Naruto asked
"Those lazy, stuck up pricks never come into the mortal world. I'm surprised this pup got here. Wake up, come on little guy." Draco said to get him to wake up
The wolf cubs eyes opened, and he jumped up to the ceiling in fear and surprise. He grabbed on the ceiling.
"Who are you?" He asked in fear
"I'm Naruto Namikaze, and this is Draco." Naruto replied
"Your not going to hurt me?" The wolf asked
"No, we were just looking for a place to sleep. Want to come with us?" Naruto asked
"S-sure." The wolf replied and climbed down
The three sat around the already made fire outside. On the fire already was also a deer. Each one of them took a piece of meat of the fire and started eating.
"Whats your name?" Naruto asked
"Kuroi Izazuma. It means black lightning." he replied
"So your from the Black lightning clan. I've heard of you, your the clan leaders son." Draco said with joy
"I came here because I want to have the honor of having a human form." Kuroi replied
"How the hell is that an honor?" Naruto asked
"Cause in order to have one, you need to be in contact with a human, not a sub race, and the only ones are in this world." He replied
Naruto was still confused, but the wolf changed his form. He looked like Naruto, except with black hair, blood red eyes, and still had his wolf ears and tail. He smiled, and his canines were longer and more wolf like. He wore black leather shirt, black shorts, and sandels.
"Can I come with you guys? I have no idea where I am in your world." Kuroi asked
"Sure." Naruto replied
"Night you two, I'm sleeping on top." Draco said and flew up to the top of the tower, and then fell dead asleep.
"Is clan life hard?" Naruto asked
"Yes it is. Pack hierarchy, and I'm at the god damn bottom." Kuroi replied
"I never really knew my family, though Draco told me about my dad. Nice guy, kage of the village." Naruto said
"I guess we have something in common, our dad's are on the top, but we are on the bottom." Kuroi said
"Well, then lets get to the top then." Naruto inquired
"What? How?" Kuroi asked
"I don't know, but we will. Promise." Naruto offered his hand
Kuroi with a nod and a smile shook Naruto's hand. The two then fell asleep, ready to continue towards Konaha the next day.
Next day
Naruto and Kuroi woke up, to be surrounded by fur wearing bandits. They had hide and iron shields, and in there other hands were iron swords, one handed iron axes, and iron maces.
"Don't move kids. Were just here to get a little revenge for what you did to our friends." One of them said
"We didn't do that, Draco did." Naruto replied
"Cut the crap kid, your dieing." Another replied
Kuroi suddenly let loose a bolt of black lighting at the one that said that, and killed him. The remaining bandits ran like hell away from them.
"Holy crap man! That was awsome!" Naruto cheered
"I really don't know how I just did that." Kuroi replied
"Why?" Naruto asked
"I'm the youngest in my clan, I haven't learned to control our natural ability, black lightning." Kuroi answered
"Well that explains everything." Naruto replied
"Quick bickering you two! I'm trying to sleep!" Draco yelled
The two got the idea to leave Draco behind, and Naruto grabbed his shield in one hand, and then strapped his quiver over his shoulder, and his bow on his back. Then he put his axe in his belt, and they were off. The bandits that Kuroi scared off were following them, along with there leader, who wore a iron curaiss, with banded shoulder armor, iron gauntlets, a double bladed steel two handed axe, a iron horned helmet and iron boots.
"Thats them boss." One of them said to the iron wearer
"Well lets show them who there messing which. Who are they messing with?" The leader asked
"FIRE RAIDERS!" they roared back
"Thats right, no one messes with Kyr's Fire raiders." Kyr the leader said
Naruto and Kuroi didn't hear them, and it gave the bandits precious time for an ambush. Half were on one side of road, and the rest on the on the other path. There leader would distract them by meeting them on the road. Kyr acted like a traveler on the road, and walked up to the two.
"Excuse me, where is the nearest inn?" Kyr asked
"Um, I don't know." Naruto answered
"Thats okay, you can help me with something else." Kyr replied and swung his axe
Naruto blocked with his shield, but was knocked back. The rest of the bandits charged Kuroi and surrounded him, and beat him mercilously with there one handed weapons. Kyr continually beat Naruto's shield with his axe till it shattered into pieces. Kyr stopped before he could swing at Naruto again. Kuroi's hand grew black hair and long claws, and he slashed off the head of one of the bandits. He then let out a blood curdling howl, and attacked the remaining bandits with unrestrained monstrosity. Kyr ran to his mens help and tried to split Kuroi's skull, but Kuroi stopped the blade with his bare hand, and then had his claws pierce his neck. With a single backward movement, he ripped out his throat, windpipe, and bloodvessels. The lifeless body fell like a rock, and Kuroi dropped the meat he held in his hand.
"I leave you two for five minutes, and this is what happens?" Draco asked, landing next to them
"They attacked me! What was I supposed to do?" Kuroi replied
"Whats this?" Naruto asked, picking up a bounty note
"Bounty for Kyr Teaborn, 700,000 yen!" Kuroi read
"What the hell!?" Naruto yelped
"Score!" Kuroi yelled
With only a few miles to go, Kuroi and Naruto practically sprinted the entire distance with joy. They bolted past the guards, and they were left dazed.
"Draco sir, were they with you?" one asked
"Unfortunetly." Draco replied, and flew off to the hokage building
He flew up to the building, and then grabbed the bottom of it with his back talons. Perfectly suspended, he then knocked on the window of the office to get Minato attention. He turned around and nearly had a heartattack from the sight of Draco being there. Draco then cut out the window, came into the office, then fused it back on with a blast of fire.
"Is there a reason for coming in like that, or are you going for you creeper merit badge?" Minato asked
"No, just to say your son's back." Draco replied
"What?" Minato asked with suprise
"Ya, and he made a friend that killed Kyr Teaborn." Draco replied
"Get them in here now!" Minato yelled in happiness
Draco snapped his fingers, and the guards dragged the two into the room. Minato ran up to Naruto and hugged him in joy. Naruto was surprised to see his dad at first, but then was happy to finally see him.
"So this is your Dad?" Kuroi asked
"Ya." Naruto replied
"Lucky! Mines a lazy head of a clan jackass!" Kuroi yelled
"So your the one that killed Kyr?" Minato asked, ending his hug with Naruto
"Ya, I think so." Kuroi replied, handing him the bounty
"Give this to the bank, they will be able to give you your money." Minato replied, giving him a check with the hokage's seal on it.
Kuroi smiled and left to cash in the bounty. Maybe living in the mortal world wasn't so bad after all?
