IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-DDDDD DISCLAMER! (yu-gi-oh ftw)
The next morning, naruto was the first to awake. He walked from his room to the kitchen to make breakfast for him and his siblings but stopped when he heard knocking at his door. Not noticing his state of dress he walked over and opened the door to find sasuke uchiha and sakura haruno at eh door. "huh? What are you guys doing here?"
Sakura quickly looked away with a blush while sasuke simply closed his eyes "well naruto, we WERE here to try and make amends for what we did to your original but at the moment, we're waiting for you to put some pants on!". Looking down naruto saw he was in boxers only. Quickly apologising and closing the door he shot in to find some clothes
(5 mins later)
Opening the door, naruto once again came face to face with sasuke and a red faced sakura. "sorry about that guys, come in. the others are still asleep though so try to keep the noise down.". the two walked in to see a penthouse looking apartment with strange tribal markings on the wall. "so what are you two here for? Other than apologising for what you did to the other naruto?" sasuke was the first to step forward "I'm also here because me and sakura both heard you four aren't ninja anymore" "oh yeah, the old man made us huntsmen. Were essentially a special task force that consists of only our clan, four members to be exact. We're the same rank as jounin" while jealus, sasuke couldn't help but smile seeing his secret friend's reincarnation progress so far so quickly… unfortunately sakura wasn't so happy "WHAT!? WHY ARE YOU JOUNIN WHILE SASUKE-KUN IS STILL GENNIN! HE'S AN ELITE UCHIHA WHILE YOU.. well, a dobe times by four is still a DOBE!"
*SLAP*
Sakura lay on the ground with a hand over her cheek which had just been hit by both naruto AND sasuke. "I can't believe you sakura… the other naruto he… he FUCKING LOVED YOU! And you DARE to desecrate his memory like that! YOU DARE SPEAK ABOUT MY BEST FRIEND AS IF HE IS TRASH!" sasuke brought his fist back for another hit but naruto held him back. "stop sasuke… its not her fault she doesn't understand… sakura, the reason the old naruto was so weak was because the teachers TRIED to get him killed. Naruto was… he was the host to the chakra and soul of the nine tailed fox. He died when naruto did and so did the limits our bodies had. Naruto was actually stronger than anyone could imagine but he was in constant conflict with the kyuubi meaning he couldn't use that strength."
Naruto hated that he had to lie to his best friend and crush but he couldn't let them know the truth. Sakura, now learning what the truth was, was in conflict with herself, unable to decide whether naruto was a poor child or, like her father had always said, a mindless demon waiting for his chance… it was then she remembered something her mother had told her a few nights ago "sakura… if you ever see naruto's reincarnations again… I want you to look in his replacement's eyes.. see the pain he's hiding". And see it she did.. until the tears ran down her face.
Naruto walked forward to comfort her until she stood up and ran. Tears of shame running down her cheeks until she ran, head first into a muscled torso belonging to menma. Naruko and kurama at his sides, they had heard the entire conversation and while they were angry at her, they couldn't help but agree with naruto. "sakura…" she turned to see naruto standing behind her with his arms open. Unable to stop herself, she flung herself into his grip and cried.. cried for forgiveness "shush.. its ok sakura.. he loved you and still would if he were here… I don't think he would want those emerald eyes of yours all red and puffy, do you?". Despite her tears, sakura couldn't help but chuickle at that.
"no he wouldn't.. he'd probably do something stupid to try and make me laugh.. god I miss him" naruto couldn't help but wrap his arms tighter around her small, shaking frame when he heard that. "we don't know what we have until we lose it… but you haven't lost him" in confusion, sakura looked up to see warmth and an almost brotherly look in naruto's eyes. "don't forget sakura… me and the others are his reincarnations.. we all carry parts of him. Kurama: his wisdom, menma: his temper and humour, naruko: his strategic mind and me… I carry his memories of love and his compassion… so don't worry.. he's still here for you.. just there's four of him now" and with that he planted a small kiss on sakura's forehead then rested his chin on her head as he spoke once more "he always wanted to do that.. guess I fulfilled one of his dreams already"
Now normally sakura would have punched the blond for such an act.. but this time she had washed away the blindness her fangirl personality had caused, just enough for her to realise three things. One, she was feeling warm and almost happy instead of the normal rage naruto caused. Two, he had kissed her forehead, the one part of her features she always felt insecure about and finally.. three, she heard the love and care in his voice.. "thank you… naruto… I needed that"
Naruto looked down to see a new sakura.. the tears had washed away the sasuke-tinted filter she usually looked through and reviled burning green eyes that shone with newfound life "I promise you… I will live up to naruto's expectations of me. I will live to name my children after him, and tell stories of the orange prankster king of the village… just make sure you keep up so your siblings and you can be there to help me remember the details"
The smile that the six occupants of the room shared could have blinded an army. Sasuke looked on and couldn't help but remember a small blond from his past "believe it sasuke! I will become hokage and then sakura-chan will have to fall in love with me! You'll see!" "hey.." the five of them looked round to sasuke "you better watch out naruto.. take it from me, when she hugs you she does NOT let go" everyone couldn't help but break in laughter and sakura's bright red face, unaware to her thoughts 'like I would want to.. I think I like this positon.'
Training ground 7
After recovering from their laughing fits, the 6 newly-formed comrades decided to head to team 7's training ground to get a grips of the other's abilities. "hang on.. you meant to tell us that naruko can control ALL types of crystal? And kurama and menma have the strongest doujutsu? And you naruto can create ANY weapon you want?" naruto couldn't help but chuckle at sakura's childlike excitement at their abilities "yeah that's pretty much the rundown of it. Although I'm the only one whose abilities can be used to help others. That's why those four are over there sparring. I was wondering If you want a weapon made for you? I'm already working on weapons for those three, so I can throw in some simpler one's for you two? Think of them as symbols of our new friendship."
Sakura stepped forward first "I would like some type of gloves that increase my strength to immense levels please" "oh really? Huh I made some like that already. They were prototypes of the ones for menma that went wrong but they're perfect for what you described" unsealing them from his upper left arm, he brought out two jet black metal gloves with silver markings similar to vines. "they're made from a special type of metal I produce called titanium. The seals will increase the Impact force by releasing huge amounts of kinetic energy at the point of impact. I call them the meteorite palms "
While sakura took the gloves and gushed over them like a child with their new toy, sasuke walked up to naruto to place his weapons request "if you're offering then I would like a blade. Small, swift and- "uh uh uh sasuke, ive already made you a weapon" the shit easting grin on naruto's face was huge. He unsealed a small blade with a black handle and a square balde and uchiha fan (shippuden blade) "ive made it so it channels chakra AND is pretty much unbreakable. Like I would forget to make my original's best friend, a weapon"
Sasuke took the blade and looked it over, mentally admitting that the blade was a masterpiece. It almost felt as if it belonged in his hands and his hands alone. "go ahead sasuke, sakura is waiting for a spar. Go practice your own weapons ok? I have something I need to work on". Sasuke nodded silently and walked over to sakura. Naruto watched until he was sure no-one would notice what he was about to do.
Naruto unsealed a large metal item in the shape of an L. it had a strange cylinder on top and a rectangle containter in a slot. "lets see… weapon prototype #1 codename:SNIPER … fire and summoning seals intact and collaborating… scope set up and metal in one piece.. commencing final test: fire and reload". Naruto lifted up the large sniper and then aimed at the target he had set up in the middle of the night. Pulling the trigger, he unleashed a fast, metal shell that tore through the wood. Ejecting the remaining shard of metal and inserted a new one, repeating the process.
"hmmm bolt action is a success... semi-auto will need work. Thank kami for her putting the blue prints to these weapons in a scroll for me.. project jehuty and anubis's weapons will be hard to make but it'll be worth it." Sealing the sniper rifle back into his arm, he walked towards his siblings, looking forward to the chaos he would soon bring to the elemental nations.
