Chapter 3
(5 years later)
It's been 5 years since I was banished from Konoha. For the first your years I trained with ero-sennin and he pushed me beyond the limits. I trained in ninjutsu and taijutsu mainly and since I was very weak in genjutsu, I learnt how to detect and dispel them. After 4 years, ero-sennin left me because he received rumours that a war was breaking up due to Akatsuki taking over the rain village (Amegakure). They were now planning on taking over the world bit by bit. Ero-sennin left to aid Konoha in the war which was starting. After ero-sennin left I met a rogue ninja from the mist who helped me in the art of Kenjutsu.
Flashback
(1 year ago)
Naruto was traveling jumping from tree to tree. It had been 2 weeks since Jiraiya left him to aid Konoha. He was on his way back to the Wave Country he all of a sudden sensed 2 kunias heading for him. Naruto quickly jumped to the side to find someone standing behind him with a sword at his throat.
"Gaki is that all you have?" said the rogue ninja
"POOF"
"Who the hell are you" Naruto yelled
" Kurosaki Raiga, one the 7 mist swordsmen"
"Former leaf ninja, Uzumaki Naruto"
"This will be interesting" Raiga thought
" You shouldn't be a problem. Your not the first mist swordsmen i have fought. From what I heard Kisame was the strongest" Naruto stated
Raiga was shocked, the boy in front of him fought Kisame and was alive to speak of it.
" You seem like an interesting kid. How about I train you in the art of Kenjustu, Kisame will come back for you again" Raiga said.
"Arigato Raiga-sensei, so when do we start?" Naruto said grinning at Raiga.
Raiga smirked at Naruto
"NOW"
One year later
It has been a year since Naruto trained with Raiga in the art of Kenjutsu. Even though he became a master of the sword he could never beat Raiga in a dual for he did wield one of the legendary swords of the mist. Today was the last day of Naruto's training.
"Naruto there is nothing else I can teach you in the art of the swords. You have even surpassed me as well" Raiga said.
"Demo sensei I still can't beat you in a fight so then how have I surpassed you" Naruto questioned
" Don't worry before you leave I have a gift for you, follow me Naruto"
"Hai"
After traveling for a while, they stopped in front of what looked like a small hut. Raiga explained that they were visiting the blacksmith who made the 7 legendary swords. They went inside the house to find a man named Tenjo who looked like he was in his sixties waiting for them. Raiga told Naruto that his departing gift would be a special sword made by Tenjo. After forging the 7 legendary swords Tenjo retired but as a favor for Raiga he was willing to forge one more. After two days the sword was ready. It had a normal hilt and blade, nothing special. The day it was made the three of them went to a field where it was going to be the final match between Raiga and Naruto. As the fight began, Naruto noticed that Raiga was not holding back. Using his lighting to enhance his power he defeated Naruto within minutes.
" Is this all you have Naruto, I am disappointed" Raiga said smirking at Naruto
" I will defeat you" Naruto said standing back up as his chakra started flaring.
What happened next surprised Naruto. His sword began to glow red and it slowly began to transform. At the end of the transformation Naruto held a totally different sword. His hilt was pure black while his blade was red. Carved on the blade were two words "Fox Claw". When Naruto looked up at Raiga, he found him smiling at him. Raiga then told him that Tenjo had forged the 7 mist blades the same you poured enough chakra into the sword, it would transform. That was the end of Naruto's training with Raiga.
End of Flashback
Naruto POV
Once I left Raiga, I received word from Gaara asking for my presence in Suna. I also found out that he became the Godaime Kazekage. Two days later, I stood in front of Sunagakure.
Normal POV
A tall dark cloaked figure stood infront of Sunagakure. He stood 6 feet tall with blond long hair tied into a ponytail which fell to his shoulders. He had 3 faint whisker marks on each cheek. He wore a black cloak edges were covered in red flames. Strapped to his back was a red sword with a black hilt which was kept in a black sheath. The figure walked slowly to the entrance of the village when two shinobi appeared.
"State your business in Suna" one of the gueards spoke up
" I have come to seek audience with your Kazekage, here is the letter which he sent me" Naruto replied handing ove the letter
"Arigato, now if you will follow us" replied the other guard escorting Naruto
X---X---X---X---X
10 min later (Kazekage's office)
Sabaku no Gaara the Godaime Kazekage sat there in his office as usual doing his paperwork. With the war going on, there was no time for rest. As he continued his work he heard a knock on his door.
"Enter"
AS the door opened, there stood a cloaked figure but Gaara caught sight of blond hair beyond the hood.
"Naruto"
Naruto threw his hood back saying with a smirk "Is that how you greet an old friend after 5 years, Gaara"
"You've changed" was Gaara's only reply
"Arigato, I could say the same to you Kazekage-sama" Naruto replied
After getting comfortable, Gaara told Naruto about the war and Akatsuki
"So from what I could understand Akatsuki is recruiting missing-nin to fight under Amegakure" Naruto questioned
"Hn"
"So Gaara do you have a place for me to stay in" Naruto asked
Gaara nodded pulling out a piece of paper writing down an address. " I want to see you back at 12, Naruto"
"Hai Hai" Naruto said lazily flashing out of the office
X---X---X---X---X
20 min later (Suna hotel)
Naruto stood out in the balcony of the hotel staring up at the stars. His thoughts drifted to Konoha
"Sakura-chan, Kakashi-sensei, Tsunade-baachan, Ero-sennin, mina (everyone) be safe" Naruto thought as he went back to his room.
X---X---X---X---X
The next day, Naruto woke up early, and headed to the training grounds. Thanks to Kakashi-sensei's advice about the kage bunshin he trained against 1000 clones a day. After traininf Naruto went to the market place for breakfast. In the middle of his breakfast, Naruto felt the presence of an anbu behind him.
"Naruto-dono, Kazekage-sama has asked for your presence immediatly" the anbu said
" Hai" was Naruto's response as he flashed outside of Gaara's office Knocking, Naruto entered the room coming face to face with twe people he wasn't expecting
Naruto was clearly shocked, there in front of him stood Neji and Shikamaru dressed in official Konoha jounin outfits.
"Naruto" both jounin responded clearly shocked at who had entered
"It's been a while Neji, Shikamaru" Naruto replied
He then walked into the room placing his sword on the table as he sat down. " So what brings you two here at a time like this " Naruto asked
Shikamaru was the first to speak "Civil war has broken up in Konoha, Danzo an elder of the council and his Anbu Root are trying to take over Konoha. Were losing this battle Naruto, thats why we have come to Suna, for help"
Naruto sat there shocked written all over his face. Many emotions were running through him, anger, hate and fear.
Gaara went through his files as he finished he shook his head " Naara, I don't have the man power in Suna to help Konoha, I am sorry.
After a moment of silence Neji spoke up " We will take our leave, Kazekage-sama"
As both jounin began to walk out
" Matte" Naruto said standing up
" i will fight"
Shikamaru and Neji stood at the door stunned at what Naruto said. Even Gaara looked surprised at Naruto's statement.
"Naruto, you don't need to do this. I dont think you want to get involved in Konoha's war, its far too troublesome" Shikamaru answered back"
Naruto grinned at him "Don't underestimate me Shikamaru. I still have precious people back in Konoha who I want to protect."
"Tch, your as troubleosme as ever Naruto" replied Shikamaru
" And your a lazy bum as always Shikamaru" Naruto fired back
"You two, stop acting like kids and lets go" yelled Neji
"How troublesome" whispered Shikamaru
"Lets Go" shouted Naruto
All three dissapeared at once and were on there way to Konoha. By nightfall they were outside the Wind Country and were still 2 days from Konoha.
The only thoughts Naruto had in mind was
" Konoha wait for me, Uzumaki Naruto is coming home"
