Naruto of whirlpool
The day after the incident with Itachi. Naruto was getting ready to go visit with Hinata and her family at their new estate. When a voice called out behind him. "Hold on their Naruto. I need to show you something important." His grandfather said from behind him.
Naruto who had just reached the front door to the building turned and looked at his grandfather. "What's up grandfather?" He asked. His grandfather smiled gently. "I have decided to teach you one of your fathers prized Jutsu. Specifically the Rasengan." He replied with a smile. Naruto's eyes widened.
"The Rasengan. But I thought that only my godfather knew that Jutsu." He exclaimed. Lipan smiled at his nephew. "There are 5 people inside this village that know the Rasengan. Your Jounin Sensei is the only Leaf Ninja outside of Whirlpool that knows it. The others are your uncles Keanu and Jiao, your Aunt Kerala, your cousin Yuri, and myself.
Kakashi does not count as he is a Leaf Ninja not a Whirlpool. Ninja. As your grandfather it is my duty and responsibility to teach it to you. When I spoke to your sensei about it he said that he wanted me to teach it to you because it would be better if you learned it from a family member." Naruto nodded then spoke. "I see well then Grandfather I am your student for the rest of the day." He remarked with a huge smile.
A few minutes later they were outside in the training field. Naruto saw a few boxes of rubber balloons and Rubber balls were inside the boxed. "Ah I see you have noticed the boxes these will be very useful for you when you are working on the First second and third stages of the Rasengan." His grandfather said with a smile. "Now create 400 Shadow clones." Naruto nodded and did as he was told.
Moments later the field was covered in clones. "Good now each of you take a Balloon. What you want to do is try to make the air inside the balloon rotate. That is all the help I will give you for now. Naruto your chakra circulates in a clockwise direction so start off by focusing your chakra inside the balloon in that direction now the rest is up to you." His grandfather explained.
Once he was done he jumped into the tree and started to observe the clones. Once the clones had each taken one of the balloons they started on the first stage. An hour later one of the clones had succeeded in circulating the chakra inside the balloon in several directions. Once he figured this out he dispelled himself and sent the information to the rest of the group.
Once this information was assimilated. Naruto and the rest of the clones started to circulate the chakra inside the balloon in several directions adding a new direction every time they felt comfortable with the balloon and didn't have to concentrate on maintaining it. Within an hour the balloons started to pop. Once all of the balloons had been popped Lipan jumped down and appeared at his grandson's side.
"Good work all of you. Now its time for the second stage and it is more difficult than the last one but not today you need to rest." The real Naruto started to protest but his Grandfather stood firm. "No now dispel your clones and go visit your friends." Naruto nodded in reply and then left the field. Just as he arrived at the new Hyuuga estates a whirlpool ANBU appeared next to him.
"Uzumaki Naruto the Godaime Uzukage wishes to speak to you." Naruto looked at him. "Did she say when she wanted to see me?" he asked. "Right away she said that it was important." Naruto grimaced. "Very well I shall go there right now." the Anbu Nin nodded then shunshined away. Naruto then hurried off to the Kage tower.
A few minutes later Naruto walked into his Aunts office. He was surprised to see Neji, Tenten, and Choji were present as well. "Reporting as ordered Uzukage sama." he announced. "Ah good Naruto you're here. Now we can get started." his aunt replied. She then took a deep breath to steady herself then began speaking.
"Naruto, Neji, Tenten, and Choji the reason I have called you here is to inform you about several developments that have occurred during the past few days. As you are aware Uchiha Itachi showed up here. He informed us of some information that I have deemed important for you to know. Naruto Itachi has informed us that his little brother and your teammate Uchiha Sasuke is alive and a prisoner of sound."
She held up a hand to forestall Naruto's questions. "He also told us where the Slug Sannin lady Tsunade is currently located. Here is your mission. Find Lady Tsunade and convince her to return to Whirlpool village. Should this fail you are to inform her that from that point onward she will be viewed as a Missing Nin and treated as such. Naruto I want you to use every bit of persuasion you can to convince here to come to whirlpool.
If you have to speak of your mother Kushina then do it. This is an A rank mission and you will all be paid as such. Neji, Tenten, and Choji you are to accompany Naruto and protect him. I can not tell you why because it is considered an S ranked Konoha village secret." Naruto could not hold it in any longer. "I don't need protection Uzukage Sama they are my friends and I will not jeopardized their lives.
Besides Grandfather is teaching me my fathers prized Jutsu the Rasengan." Kerala glared at her nephew. "Yes you do Naruto and I don't want to hear it. They will accompany you when you go find Tsunade and that's FINAL." she roared. Naruto winced. "Yes ma'am" he responded.
"Good now all of you go get ready you leave within the hour." she then dismissed them and returned to her work. Once they left the room his friends all looked at him. "What was that all about Naruto?" Tenten asked. "Sorry Tenten it's an S Rank secret and I cant tell anyone." he explained. His friends looked at him then at each other.
"Very well we will drop it lets meet up at the gate in 40 minutes." Neji said with his usual aplomb. With that the 4 leaf ninja parted ways. Naruto raced to the estates to get his travel pack. When he got there he saw that his uncle was waiting for him. He had his backpack and a Jutsu scroll in hand.
"Here you go Naruto. Your aunt told me what she was going to have you do. I took the luxury of filling your backpack with everything your going to need for this trip. The scroll is so that you can seal anything you find along the way into it including any Missing Nin heads you manage to collect. Naruto I want you to practice the second stage of the rasengan while you are gone.
The second stage requires you to circulate chakra in a solid rubber ball. If and only if you manage this while you are gone you can get started on the third stage which is circulating air in a rubber balloon until you destroy it. Once that is done try to form the rasengan in your hand without using the rubber balloon.
Once all of this is complete you will have successfully mastered the Rasengan. One other thing before you go Naruto the Rasengan is not a complete Jutsu. Your father never got the chance to complete it but maybe you can do it where he failed." Naruto blinked at his uncle for a moment. "I see thank you uncle Keanu. I will master the Rasengan and bring lady Tsunade here to whirlpool."
Keanu smiled at his nephew. "I am glad now get going your friends will be waiting for you." Naruto nodded and took off. 5 minutes later he arrived at the gate. The others were already waiting for him. Once they had organized themselves the 4 leaf Ninjas departed the Whirlpool village. The trip would take approximately 2 and half days.
They would arrive a full day early which would give them a chance to recon the area and identify the people they were looking for. One of their sub missions was to ask around and determine if any Leaf Survivors had passed through since the fall of Konoha and where they may have gone. Every time they stopped to take a break Naruto would create 50 Kage Bushin and have them practice the second stage rasengan. Other than that Naruto only used his chakra to leap from tree to tree on the journey to Tanzaku town.
The reason Naruto only used 50 Kage Bushin was so that when they dispelled they would not cause him to faint. And the memory overload would only give him headaches. Using the Kage Bushin technique which lasted for 3 or 4 hours depending on what happened when they practiced the second stage allowed Naruto to gain hours of valuable experience in using the first and second stage.
Naruto had wanted to make it more difficult so he had some of the Bushin practice creating the Rasengan on the left hand while the rest used the right. This way he could kill to birds with one stone. He had done this while perfecting the first stage. Now he used it for the second stage. Naruto was thankful that he had bought so many solid Rubber balls as he could before he left.
When he created the clones Naruto made use of the foxes demonic chakra so that he would conserve as much of his natural chakra source as possible. This enabled him to gain control of at last one tail of the Foxes chakra. And by his estimation he was working on the second tail as well.
FLASHBACK NO JUTSU "Naruto I want you to use the Kyuubi's chakra while you work on the Rasengan." Uzumaki Keanu explained. Naruto looked at him inquisitively. "Why do you want me to do that Uncle?"
He asked. Keanu frowned. "By doing this you will practice chakra control using the Demon Chakra. This will in turn enable you to use more of its chakra without killing you" he explained. Naruto thought about it for a moment then nodded. "I understand grandfather. I promise." Naruto responded. FLASHBACK KAI NO JUTSU.
As the group raced toward Tanzaku town Naruto's friends kept an extra sharp eye out for any dangers. They had heard the conversation between Naruto and his aunt about him needing to be protected. They did not understand why but they decided not to take any chances anyway.
When they arrived at Tanzaku town 3 days later they saw that the festival was already underway. "Let's split up into 2 teams and look for our target. Naruto you will take Tenten and scout the eastern section of the city and Choji and I will scout the western part of the town. Let us rendezvoused at the gambling hall that our target is said to be at.
If you happen to spot either Tsunade or Shizune let us know and we will converge on your position." Neji ordered as the Uzukage had placed him in charge of the mission. At the edge of town a lone whirlpool ninja watched them in silence.
FLASHBACK NO JUTSU. "Keanu I know how much you want to be here right now but I need you to follow Naruto's team and ensure their safety. I have placed Neji in charge of the mission as he has the most experience with these kinds of missions as does Tenten. When I asked her if she wanted to lead the mission she said no and told me to ask Neji." Kerala explained.
Uzumaki Keanu looked at his sister for a long moment. "I don't agree with this tactic Kerala they are all leaf ninja. They can take care of themselves. And so can Naruto even though he is currently under threat by him." Keanu replied.
Kerala shrugged. "I know that but there is still a part of me that wants to protect him so much that is hurts. It is doubly hard to do when he looks so much like Minato but has Kushinas smile.
And then there is the small fact that the Kazekage violated the marriage contract between him and Minato. And refused to honor the agreement saying that he would announce that now that both of them are ninja they would be married when Naruto turns 16." she replied with a frown. "Blast it I guess I don't have a choice I am going to have to activate the jeopardy clause in the contract." she finished with a sad sigh.
Keanu looked at her in shock. "The jeopardy clauses are you serious? That clause hasn't been activated in 30 years ever since that debacle between the Cloud and Rock Villages." She glared at him. "Don't you think I don't realize the seriousness of the situation? The Leaf village has fallen.
Cloud is currently fighting off an attack by sound and losing if that report I got is correct. Blast it Orochimaru must have planned a continent wide attack. He has attacked all of the major Hidden Villages and destroyed one of them." she then pulled out a piece of paper and read it for a moment ignoring her brother who was still in shock and processing what he had been told.
"The only good news we have is that Orochimaru is confirmed dead." Keanu replied after a moment. Kerala snarled in reply but didn't say a word. After a few moments of silence Keanu sighed. "Very well sis I will shadow them. I take it from the look on your face that you will be sending a message to both the Wind Daimyo and the Suna council about the contract?"
Kerala nodded. "Yes and because of the clause the Suna council will not be able to get out of it unless they want to lose all of their funding from the Wind Daimyo." she replied. "Here is a question for you. Does Naruto know?" he asked. Yes he knows. The marriage was supposed to be announced when the Kazekage arrived in the Leaf Village and in response Sarutobi was to send me a message saying that the announcement had been made. But since this didn't happen I have no choice but to activate the jeopardy clause." Kerala sighed then turned to her brother.
But he was already gone. "Kushina don't worry I will protect Naruto from him even if it costs me my life. I won't fail again like I did Arashi." Kerala vowed. An hour later a lone hawk departed the Whirlpool Village bound for Suna. While another headed in the direction of the Wind Country capital. FLASHBACK KAI NO JUTSU.
20 minutes into the search Naruto spotted Tsunade through one of the windows of a gambling hall. He pressed the button on his transmitter. "Hey guys I found her. She is in the Cortona gambling hall." He reported. "Right stay there we will join you shortly." Neji responded. Tenten and Choji both muttered in response but said nothing more.
Neji then looked up at the roof of a building a block down and nodded in Keanu's direction. Keanu was not surprised that Neji had detected him with his Byakugan. He continued to shadow the boys. Keanu had seen Naruto's Kage Bushin working on the second and third stages of the rasengan and from what he had seen. He was very proud of his nephew for getting through it so fast.
By his calculation Naruto would have fully mastered using it by the end of the week and gotten it down to one hand only by the end of the next week without using a shadow clone to help him do it. "Minato you would be proud." he muttered to himself.
Once the group was together Naruto and Neji walked into the gambling hall while Tenten and Choji took up watch to make sure nothing interrupted them. "Hey you brats can't come in here" one of the bouncers growled. "Actually we can. By order of the leaf village this place is under our control until such time as we get what we came for."
Neji responded while filling the room with killing intent. Naruto had already spotted Tsunade and Shizune. It was at that point everyone saw the Leaf headbands. "Hello grandma. Hey why are you not home tending to your godchildren. Oh wait that's right you only have one and he is standing in front of you." Naruto Taunted.
Tsunade glared at him. "If I wasn't glad and relieved to see you Naruto I would punch you out the window brat. Are there any other survivors?" she asked. "Of course. There is a large group of us in whirlpool village. That is why I am here. I want you and Shizune to come to Whirlpool and take charge of the survivors.
With the Sandaime Hokage and Jiraya both dead that makes you the most powerful leaf ninja left. Not including Kakashi sensei that is." Tsunade nodded and then took a moment to grieve for the loss of her sensei and last teammate. "And Orochimaru?" she asked. "Dead the Sandaime killed him then passed away." Naruto responded.
"I see. Well then I guess if you're here that means that Kerala sent you?" Naruto nodded. "Yes she wants you to come to Whirlpool and take over the search for the other leaf survivors and take charge of the Hospital. From what I have read from mom's letters you are quite the Medic Nin. That is why we want you.
Aunt Kerala told me to tell you that if you don't come she will declare you and Shizune to be missing Nin and treat you as such. But she sincerely hopes you do come because you are my godmother." Tsunade twitched at the Missing Nin part but smiled afterwards.
"Very well I have been getting bored with traveling for so long. So yes I will come to the Whirlpool village. I feel the need to settle down. As does Shizune who has wanted to visit your Aunt." Naruto smiled happily at the news. With that Tsunade and Shizune followed him out of the casino. Neji who had been busy keeping an eye on the 4 bouncers who had appeared followed swiftly behind.
Once they were on the street the group headed for the hotel where Tsunade and Shizune were staying. Keanu jumped down from the roof and joined them. "I take it your mission was a success?" he asked. Naruto stared at him. "What are you doing here uncle?" he asked. "Your aunt wanted me to follow you and then when your mission either succeeded or failed
I was to take you to the Fire country capital and speak with the Daimyo. The rest of you can either join us or head back to the Whirlpool village." he responded "well since I said I would go to the Whirlpool village and take charge of the survivors I will head there with Shizune. The rest of you can either go with Naruto or accompany us." Tsunade said with a faint smile.
"Um Naruto do you know if Kakashi is still alive?" asked Shizune. "Yes but he is badly injured. He was hurt during the last few moments of the battle against Orochimaru and the sand forces." Naruto responded not realizing he had just sealed Kakashi's doom "Kakashi is injured oh no. don't worry Kakashi. Shizune is coming." she then ran off into the distance in the general direction of Whirlpool.
The rest of the group stared at her disappearing form in shock. "What was that all about?" Naruto asked once he had recovered from his shock. "Shizune was once one of Kakashi's fangirls before she left the village to travel with me." Tsunade explained.
Naruto blinked a couple of times at the answer then doubled over in hysterical laughter. Tenten and Choji chuckled lightly and Neji just stood their impassively but if you looked closely you could see the faint outline of a smile on his face. Keanu just shook his head at the reaction of some of the young ones.
But he smiled at what Kakashi was going to have to deal with for the next few months. Once everyone had gained control of themselves and stopped laughing except for a few snickers here and there from Naruto the group got back to business. "Okay Naruto you will come with me to the Fire Capital to speak to the Fire Daimyo and search for more survivors.
As for you three what do you plan to do?" Keanu asked. Neji shared looks with Tenten and Choji. "We will accompany you and Naruto to the fire capital. Naruto has his duties while we have ours. While you and Naruto speak to the Daimyo we will simultaneously search for survivors and get the word out that the Leaf still stands and most of the survivors have gathered at Whirlpool.
Hopefully any Leaf survivors who see it will head to whirlpool I am sure they would be more than welcome." Neji responded. Keanu nodded at him then turned to Tsunade. "well now that everyone is ready to go we will see you in Whirlpool in 2 weeks tell my sister that I intend to scout the surrounding cities along the way to the capital then head to the ruins of Konoha and take a look around.
Once that is done we will return to the village." he replied. Tsunade nodded then hurried off in the direction of whirlpool at a steady run in order to catch up with Shizune. Keanu watched her go then smirked.
"I pity Kakashi when Shizune gets there. She was bad when they were kids she will be even worse now." he remarked. He then turned to his team. "Alright lets get going we have a long way to go." and then the group jumped and was gone from Tanzaku town.
