Hello people, I'm sorry if you feel like I've been too slow. I got your ideas, and I like a lot of them, and I got inspiration off of some of them, but none of them fit the vibe of the story very well. Anways, in this chapter, the action starts happening, and for those of you are concerned: yes, Naruto will mark Misaki (probably in the next chapter), yes Naruto will go back with Misaki to her world, Misaki will get stronger (but not physically), and yes, I will do a lemon as the finale for this story (but I don't know when that'll be). Also, the fanfic will start to deviate from the anime, as you'll read in this chapter, and if you don't like it, sorry it works better for me that way. I tried to make Misaki's entrance as little cliche as possible, but if you have any better ideas or if you guys want me to completely redo the chapter let me know. Enjoy!!
'This sucks! I can't believe people become ninjas willingly under these conditions!' Naruto thought as he mindlessly pulled up grass. What he wouldn't give to have his Ipod that he bought in Misaki's world. At times like these, he really needed it. But he can't bring it here, they haven't been invented in his world, and people would be suspicious about the fact that he was able to afford one. In Misaki's world, he had gotten a job as a Jr. martial arts teacher, and it paid a lot, due to the amount of students he had. It took all of his restraint not to remember how cute Misaki looked in the karate gi. Frowning at the thought of the girl, Kyuubi relayed the information of last night to him, including Oujiro. As much as Naruto hated to admint it, he liked the idea of marking Misaki as his own. That meant he and/or Kyuubi could be summoned if the girl ever needed them, it wold give Misaki a more intimidating aura, and it would tell other boys to stay the hell away from her. But there downsides to it, Naruto had tried to mark Misaki before, and he would never forget the frightened look in her eye. She had been terrified, and it wasn't something Naruto wanted to force on her. Not to mention, Nauto had no idea of what consequences there'd be to it. But still, his desire for the girl was growing steadily through the years, and maybe in another few years, he would be ready to mark her, but not now.
"Oi dobe!" Turning to his teammate, he realized that they were done with the mission, the lady's garden was now weed-free. "We're going to the hokage's office for another mission." Nodding at Sasuke's words, Naruto followed his team wordlessly, hoping he'd soon be done for the day.
In Misaki's world
'Kyuubi, are you sure no one's going to notice I'm gone?' Misaki asked.
'After the party your peers and teachers had together, I'd be surprised if they notice they're without clothes.' Kyuubi sighed. 'This is why you need different friends.'
'They mean well.' Misaki argued weakly. 'Where are we going anyway?' Misaki asked looking around the forest as Kyuubi walked. She had been riding on his back for the past half hour, and Misaki was wondering where they were going.
'Nowhere specific, just out for a stroll. Is there anywhere you want to go?' The demon fox asked.
'Not really.' Misaki answered.
Somewhere in Naruto's world
"Hey Itachi, would you say that our leader has some of the stupidest ideas ever?" Kisame asked. The two akatsuki ninjas traveled in a remote woods neaer the Land of the Rain, and finally stopped at a clearing.
"A task is a task, Kisame, the more one argues, the more it drags on." Itachi replied dully.
"Is this even going to work?" Kisame frowned.
"Most likely not, considering it's a jutsu still in the development stage." The older Uchiha replied.
"What's this supposed to do anyway?" Kisame asked.
"According to our leader, it will supposedly summon any of the tailed demons that have either no vessel, or have been separated from its vessel." Itachi montoned. "It's not likely to work, but we have our orders."
"Fine." The shark man sighed. "So how do we set it up?"
"Our leader said to burn this drawing, and make the dog hand sign. Nothing more." Itachi pulled out the sheets with an odd symbol on it, burned it, and he and his partner made the appropriate handsigns. Now all they had to do was wait.
In Misaki's world
'AAUGH!' Kyuubi fell over, causing Misaki to fall off.
"Kyuubi-san!" Misaki rushed over to the fallen demon. She noticed immediately, he was starting to disingrate. "What's happening Kyuubi-san?!"
Kyuubi managed to open an eye and look at the frightened girl. He knew what this was, he just didn't think that bastard would be able to pull it off. It was the same summoning seal the fourth used to captre his family, and the very same seal that caused Kyuubi to go insane that night. Not knowing what this meant for Naruto, he decided it was best Misaki went with him. 'I don't know! Just grab onto me, and don't let go!!'
Misaki did as she was told, she buried herself deep in Kyuubi's fur, terrified to let go. Noticing that she was starting to dissipate as well, Misaki closed her eyes, and blacked out.
With Naruto
Naruto froze on the spot as an enemy ninja came out him, he ignored Kakashi and his team's sneering comments about him being a scardy cat, he even ignored the client Tazuna, who obviously lied to them about this being a c-ranked mission. The only thing he felt was sheering pain. He knew that Kyuubi felt it as well, but when Naruto sensed Kyuubi and Misaki's presence in his world, all thoughts of his cover dropped.
He pushed Kakashi's hands off, and made a couple of handsigns. Before any of his team could speak, all were trapped in a high-level genjutsu made by Naruto. The young ninja didn't have time for a fight; he had to find Misaki and Kyuubi!
With Misaki and Kyuubi
Itachi and Kisame stared stupefied at the sight before them. For they never have seen a fox demon, that pissed off in their entire lives. Not only was this a pissed fox, but it was the most powerful of the foxes as well. But what really got them was the tiny girl hiding behind Kyuubi, and the fact that Kyuubi's tails kept the girl almost invisible. Sensing death if they didn't get out soon, Itachi approached the demon.
"You are Kyuubi I assume?" Itachi found this all confusing. Didn't their leader seal him inside his son twelve or thirteen years ago? Why was it out? Was it really the same demon? The only response Itachi got, was Kyuubi's tail whacking him, cutting off his arm in the process. Turning to the other offender, Kyuubi had one of his tails do an uppercut on the man, effectly killing, and breaking Kisame's neck. Whether or not the two men would live, did not concern the fox.
'Misaki…?' Kyuubi asked gently.
"I'm fine, really Kyuubi…" Misaki's voice was shaking, it was obviously a lie. Kyuubi didn't blame her, he was still in shock too. Kyuubi truly wished the girl hadn't seen that, but in the ninja world, one rule applied: kill or be killed. Knowing that they had released a large amount of energy, Kyuubi knew it wouldn't be long before other ninjas would come snooping.
"Kyuubi! Misaki!!" Both turning to the familiar presence, both sighed with relief. Jumping off Kyuubi's back, Misaki ran and embraced Naruto crying. She sobbed loudly, and Naruto said soft nothings to calm her down. As he did this, Kyuubi relayed the events that had just occurred, telling the boy, his father was back. Naruto growled at his own stupidity, if the fourth hokage had spent so long setting up his plan, then he should've known, that he was keeping an eye out for potential threats to his plan. As far as Naruto was concerned, Arashi had to die.
"Naruto…is this your home world?" Misaki asked quietly.
Nodding, pulling her closer to him, he replied, "Yeah…it is." Suddenly, Naruto pulled himself away from Misaki, spun himself around, so she was behind him, and caught three nin-needles in left hand. Facing his next opponent, he cursed. It was a blue-haired woman, and a blonde hair man, both in akatsuki uniforms.
"Heh…this is a surprise Konan-chan!" The male said. "Who would've thought that Kyuubi got free on his own?!"
"The demon isn't free." The woman called Konan replied. "The boy merely found a way to loosen the seal, so that the fox can be temporaily released. As for the girl though…" She observed the boy's reaction. He hid Misaki with his body the best he could, but since they had already seen her face, the situation couldn't get much worse anyways. Notcing the fox was about to kill the both of them, Konan spoke up.
"We are members of the elite group, The Akatsuki." She spoke.
"We know who you are." Naruto stated bluntly.
"Then you must know the situation you're in." She replied. Naruto glared darkly at her. "It's obvious to us that you've been keeping many things from your village, as well as your team. For good reason of course. Konoha is a very paranoid society, if they found out the demon vessel was this powerful, could release the demon whenever he wanted, and found a lover." Her stare landed on Misaki. "They'd confine you, and use her to manipulate you as a superweapon. Or maybe they'd play with her a bit, most Konoha anbu's like girls that young after all. Then of course, they'd probab;y want you without sanity, so they'd just kill her."
Clenching his fists, Naruto managed speak. "Did Arashi tell you this?"
She smirked. "You certainly inherited your father's perception, yes, he did. And as you've already guessed, he saw you that night, when you first entered the portal."
"Then he told you, you and your partner were going to die, correct?" Naruto asked calmly.
"What?" She and the man were now fearful. Their leader had told them, that all they had to do was blackmail the kid with the girl, and he'd do whatever they wanted.
"I knew at a very young age, my father was watching me. Kyuubi told me the truth of that night on my second birthday, when he saved me from a mob beating. It was also the first day I met Kyuubi and became aware of it. Arashi knows my patience better than almost anyone, so he knew he sent you to graves. Anyways, I decided to test what his range of sight was. I knew Konoha was his domain, but when I went about 8 miles outside of Konoha territory, then his sight faltered. Arashi's one weakness is that he plays it safe, and that means, when something doesn't go according to plan, it throws him off. I knew he'd try using this stupid summoning spell, but all it did was mark himself, and the two summoners for death." Kyuubi told me that in ten years, he'd try to force-summon Kyuubi in order save his own life, because that night, when Kyuubi was sealed in me, he killed my mother, not himself." Gasps were heard from the two Akatsuki members. "But unfortunately for him, the Death God didn't like what he did, so he gave Arashi sixteen years left to live. So in return for your miserable lives, I ask this." Naruto glared at him.
"W-what's that?" Deidara asked shakily.
"Tell Arashi I'll face him when I'm sixteen, not one day sooner. And also tell him, if he ever gets my friend here, involved again…the Death God will summon him for an early sentence. I don't care if you idiots want the tailed demons or not, it's gonna fail. I can already tell that. And to make sure there are no misunderstandings…" Naruto threw the three nin-needles back at Konan, puncturing her left eye, and her jugular. Falling down on her face, the needles pierced right through the vitals in her neck, in a couple of minutes, she'd be dead. Looking at his fallen comrade, Deidara looked at Naruto fearfully. "Go. You're not stupid enough to tell anyone else what you saw, and I need someone to deliver my message. Also…until that fateful battle comes, you guys don't touch the other vessels or tailed demons either." Noticing the man was frozen with fear on the spot. Naruto took out his own nin-needle and launched it, getting a clean cut on Deidara's left cheek. Breaking out of his trance, Deidara nodded hastily and took off.
Sighing he turned to Misaki. She gave him a brave smile, but it was nothing short of shock. "I'm sorry you had to see that."
Nodding, Misaki replied. "So that was the Akatsuki you and Kyuubi told me about? The one that the Fourth Hokage leads?" She frowned.
'The very one.' Kyuubi nodded with a forlorn look. 'Kit!'
"Shit! What now!" He turned around and went white almost. It was the Konoha anbu black-op.
"Uzumaki Naruto." The captain said.
Moving Misaki behind Kyuubi, while the fox made sure to grow a more threatening size, he waited for Naruto's response. "Yes?"
"It would be best for all of you to come with us. Please give us your weapons, scrolls, or whatever other supplies you have on you. And miss…" Turning his attention to the frightened girl. "If you would please-" Reaching out his hand to gesture the girl to come forward, Naruto cut off his hand, with his own. Stunned, the squad took out various weapons. The captain waved his remaining hand to stop them. "Do not be fools, we are no match for this boy."
"I'll go with you and without hassle. But on three conditions." Naruto said evenly. "One: the girl stays with me and Kyuubi, and is never without either of us. Two: if any attempt on this girl's life is actually brought out, Kyuubi and I will destroy Konoha with one blow. Three: I want to meet with Sabaku no Gaara and Hyuuga Hinata before I meet with the Hokage, or anyone from Konoha. Neither of them are to be harassed or judged before or after this meeting, or Gaara has my full permission to take out Konoha as well. And you are also to listen to his and Hyuuga-san's conditions as well. I'd relay this message to Konoha before you take us back."
"Understood." The man nodded. "We will adhere to these requests completely." Knowing that there was no possible way to stop the boy from rampaging, they had to trust that the boy would keep his word.
Nodding in approval, Naruto walked to Misaki and Kyuubi, and turned to the men. "Let's go then."
