(Blah) Author notes
Six months later in the Mission Reception room, Squad Five stood gathered and ready to receive their latest mission. Across the counter, from the squad sat, Iruka, their teacher from the academy, the Third Hokage, and two other teachers, all of them looked serious. The Hokage was the first to speak.
"Squad Five, according to our records, you have successfully completed twelve D-rank missions. I think that it's time that I give you a C-Rank Mission. Your mission is to escort the weapon maker, Masaya Sakume, and her son, Shigure, back to their home in the nearby Artisan Village."
"Yes, Hokage-sama. Your will shall be carried out." Shigehito said with a bow.
"Fine, bring in the clients." The Hokage ordered. An attractive middle-aged woman in a white floral kimono and an angry-looking dark-haired younger man wearing a white kimono with a black and gold daisho set stuck into his sash; entered the room. The man seemed to be arguing with the woman.
"Mother, I can protect us. We don't need to hire shinobi." The man protested, as looked at the members of Team Five, with a frown on his face. "I mean look at them, one of them looks like a Shinto Priest," Ryouji laughed at the remark, as the boy continued, "one looks like a dyke," Miharu's eyes narrowed and her muscles tightened, she glared at him like she was about to kill him, "and the other one looks like a pansy." Akira closed his eyes and tried to ignore him, unsuccessfully. "And to make it worse, they are led by a faggot." At the last remark Ryouji burst out laughing uncontrollably, only to be at the receiving end of death-glares from the rest of the team. "I'm not about to entrust your life in the hands of these weaklings."
"Shigure, I understand your concern, but I have to return home, to begin preparations for an order. I believe in the Third Hokage and his decisions. Now if you want to travel home with me, I would be happy to have you with us." The woman responded to her son's concerns, which only angered him more.
"What was the point of all of the years of harsh weapon training, if not to defend you, Mother?" The man exclaimed angrily. The woman turned towards him, and replied.
"A proper weaponsmith, knows how to use his products, so that they can make sure that everything that they make is a quality product. Also they know how to use their products to defend themself. Your training is so that someday, you can take over the family's business. We will not speak anymore on this." The woman finished speaking and turned towards the elderly Hokage before continuing; "This team appears satisfactory. I wish to leave as soon as the team's preparations are finished." The woman said as she and her son left the room. The son's face turned to face the shinobi, with a disgusted look on his face.
Shigehito turned to his team and said:
"You have one hour to gather your things, we won't be back to the village for about a week, so plan accordingly. Assemble at the front gate, within the time, or you will face the consequences." He then placed his hands together and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
The rest of the team headed back to their homes except Akira. He walked up to Iruka and started talking.
"Iruka-sensei?" Akira asked his former instructor trying to get his attention. His former teacher turned to face him.
"Yes Akira. What can I do for you?" The twenty-five year old teacher responded with a kind smile on his face.
"Um…Iruka-sensei, can you look after Naruto-kun, while I'm gone. I'll leave him some money so that he can get some ramen, but I'm worried about him." The dark-haired kid said rather sheepishly, while scratching the back of his head.
"I'd be happy to, Akira." Iruka said with a smile. He was pleased with the responsibility that his student had shown over the years.
"Thanks Iruka-sensei. I owe you one." Akira said with a wave as he left the room.
"Hokage-sama, are you sure that it's wise letting the Moon Child raise the Kyuubi's vessel?" One of the other instructors asked the Third. Moon Child? What is that? Iruka thought as he overheard the conversation.
"I'd rather the boys live with one of the larger clans, but it was taken out of my hands. Personally, I believe that the two of them will someday lead the village to greatness." The Third Hokage said as he began smoking his pipe.
Iruka turned towards the elderly man and asked him the question that was on his mind.
"Hokage-sama, what did Nagasawa-san mean by 'the moon child'?"
Everyone in the room grew silent. The Hokage let out a small chuckle before answering:
"The Moon Child is one of the most top secret subjects in the Leaf Village's history. Mostly, because no one knows the truth about him, the Moon Child is believed to be descended from one of the powerful ninja clans from the former Hidden Moon Village in the small Heaven Country."
"Hidden Moon Village? I've never heard about that village…" Iruka questioned.
"Of course, you haven't it was destroyed many years ago." The Third said with a sad look on his face.
"Huh?" Iruka said with a shocked look on their face.
The Third looked forward like he was remembering the past as he was spoke:
"It was during the time of the Third Shinobi War…" His voice trailed off.
(FLASHBACK)
The Third Hokage stood among the wreckage of the Hidden Moon Village. Directly in front of him stood the bloody form of a young man in a black kimono, he had a pair of katanas in his sash.
"Damn you, Sarutobi! You will die by my hand! You killed my father! My family! My friends! I shall avenge them." The man said as he drew a pair of katanas from his belt. The blades began to glow black in color.
"Your Father, The Getsukage choose war. We delivered his wish." The Third Hokage responded as he pulled out his indestructible staff. "I had hoped that we would have been allies, but your father forced my hand."
"My father was a mad man. He would've plunged the whole world into hell, but that still didn't give you the right to slaughter everyone else in your bloodlust." The man said, tears running down his face. "I'll never forgive you, Sarutobi!" He charged towards the Third Hokage only to feel the pain of a sword impale him from behind. Orochimaru's Sword of Kusanagi. The man continued moving towards the Hokage. "I'll take you all to hell with…me…" The man's dark eyes narrowed as he fought to stay alive long enough to kill the one who took everything away from him. He fell down to his knees, his swords in the ground in front of him. "Secret Art: Dark Matter Explosion!" He said before exploding into a giant rapidly expanding globe of darkness. The Third Hokage and Orochimaru began running as fast as they could to escape the explosion. After a couple minutes of running the globe of darkness instantly compressed and disappeared leaving only an enormous crater the size of the village and a pair of swords in the center.
"Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya. Gather up all the survivors and the wounded and let's head home." The Third Hokage ordered. I hope that I did the right thing. He thought.
(END FLASHBACK)
"Wow…" Iruka said in awe as the Third recounted the story of the Moon Village. "How could someone with that much power, even exist?"
The Hokage looked up at the ceiling before continuing:
"There were three powerful clans in the Moon Village, the Saruwatari Clan, the Endou Clan, and the Himura Clan. Each had a powerful Bloodline Limit. The Saruwatari Clan could manipulate the gravity around the battlefield. Luckily, only solid objects were affected, which made them very susceptible to Elemental Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. The Himura Clan, which was the Getsukage's clan, could create and manipulate black holes, some used it in their sword techniques, while others used it to destroy larger targets. The Endou Clan had the most unique bloodline limit. They could use the power of the full moon to heal all wounds and even resurrect the newly dead." Iruka's jaw dropped like a two ton truck off a three-hundred foot bridge. "Now where was I? Oh yes, about fifteen years ago, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Rin Inuzuka and Kakashi Hatake were sent to a small farming village near the border of the Cloud Country. What they found there was death, bloodshed and a male infant lying next to the body of a kunoichi holding a chakra blade katana and wearing a forehead protector, both with the engraving of a crescent moon on it. The symbol of the Hidden Moon Village. Minato and Kushina brought the infant, the sword and the forehead protector back to the village. After of course they buried the bodies of the villagers and the mysterious kunoichi."
"What happened to the infant?" Iruka asked completely in shock at hearing this story.
The Hokage looked towards him with a smile on his face, "You haven't figured it out yet?" The old man said as he inhaled some tobacco. "You just saw him, Akira Aijigetsu. The Fourth Hokage and his wife later adopted the child and raised him until their death twelve years ago. They picked the name Aijigetsu, to hint at his heritage."
An hour passed and Akira finally came running towards the rest of the group. Miharu turned to their tardy teammate with a smile. Ryouji looked over towards him with his naginata swung over his shoulder.
"Yo! Akira! Get your ass over here! You're late!" Ryouji yelled to him.
"I'm sorry everyone. I had to find someone to look out for aniki." Akira said apologetically scratching the back of his head.
Shigehito suddenly appeared in a funnel of leaves. A smile was on his face.
"I see that everyone is present and accounted for. Although it appears like I must punish Akira and myself for being late, but we'll do that later. Now I'll decide the battle formations." He said while adopting his familiar ridiculous pose. Everyone collectively felt a bead of sweat roll down their forehead. Oblivious, he looked around a moment as to devise a strategy. "Miharu, you are to protect Shigure. Ryouji and Akira are the scouts and I'll protect Lady Sakume. Now we head out." The group walked through the large red doors leading out of the Hidden Leaf Village and headed down the path towards the Artisan Village.
The group had been travelling for what seemed like hours through the woods, when Shigure returned to his anti-shinobi beliefs.
"Mother, I'm sure that my skill with the blade is more than enough to defeat all of these shinobi. We don't need their kind around." Shigure said as he calmly patted the hilts of his swords. His mother gave him a dirty look.
"Shigure, I admit that your skill with the blade is most impressive but you were not raised to fight, these people are. Abandon your rage, my son." The older woman spoke with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Geez man. Does that guy ever just shut up? I'm trying to concentrate on finding any hidden enemies!" Ryouji complained loudly. Akira chuckled at Ryouji's reaction.
Off in the forest a couple of eyes tracked the movement of the party. It's almost time for us to make our move. Now! Three shadows sprinted towards the party.
Ryouji's eyes grew wide as he sensed the three shadows.
"We have three incoming shinobi, two are of Jonin-Level, the last one is a Chunin. We have about ten seconds to get ready." He said as he pulled out his Naginata, its multiple sections snapped together and fused together to form a solid shaft. His eyes were closed so that he could use the plants in the forest to get a visual on the shinobi.
Akira drew his sword and adopted an aggressive kendo stance.
Shigehito turned to Lady Sakume and said with a smile and a thumbs-up while he pulled his quarterstaff off his back:
"We'll protect you, Lady Sakume. I swear on it."
"They're here." Ryouji said as the three shadows appeared with a small fog.
"Thanks for the introduction, handsome. I'll save you for last, to show my appreciation." A feminine voice said with a slight flirtatious tone to her voice.
"Let's have some fun, sister. So much beautiful prey, I can't decide which to kill first." A different female's voice spoke through the fog. Her voice had a lustful tone to it. Only to be cut off by a third voice:
"Cut it out, you two. Have you forgotten your mission?"
"No, Nayoko-sensei. We haven't. Release!" The first voice said as she ended the fog jutsu.
Shigehito's eyes grew wide as he saw their opponents. A small nose-bleed also followed.
"Azumi Fujimoto of the Hidden Mist Village. One of the Seven Shinobi Swordsman of the Mist Village." Shigehito exclaimed.
"Awe, you knew my name. That's sweet. I'll kill you second to last, to thank you." The first woman said as she blew him a kiss.
The first woman was a beautiful dark-haired eighteen-year old woman in a tight blue tank-top, and gray and blue camouflage pants, and black shoes. A pair of dull metal bracers on her arms, emphasized the fact that they were truly shinobi. A bluish-silver O-katana was in her hands and she wore her forehead protector around her waist like a belt. Her eyes had a lustful look to them.
"Izuna Fujimoto of the Hidden Mist Village." Shigehito exclaimed.
"I don't like you, I kill you first." The second woman said disgustedly.
The second woman appeared to be the first girl's twin sister only she wore a navy blue trenchcoat over her matching ensemble and carried a single straight bladed longsword. Her eyes seemed cold compared to her sister.
The third woman spoke up, in a cold, emotionless voice:
"Our mission was to retrieve the Getsukage's swords. Masaya Sakume, if you give them to me now we'll leave."
The last girl had medium length auburn red hair and cold, lifeless looking gray eyes. She had a very attractive body considering that she looked around the same age as the genin; on which she wore a fishnet bodysuit and a black and gray one piece strapless skirt and top. An enormous staff like rod with a two large pivoting scythe blades on either side of the rod was on her back. Her beautiful face was covered with various amounts of piercings, one in her bridge of her nose, four going around the outside of both of her ears, one on each of her eyebrows and one between her chin and her lower lip. Her forehead protector was also wrapped around her waist; on it was the Kanji symbol for 'Death.' A pair of small equipment pouches was strapped to both of her legs.
"Why would you want those relics, only members of the Himura, Saruwatari and Endou clans can use those swords? And all of the members of those clans were killed over twenty years ago." Lady Sakume said confused.
"Our employer wishes to have the swords, for as she says 'sentimental reasons." The pierced red-head explained, then she turned towards the Fujimoto sisters and said coldly before walking away: "Do what you want."
"Thanks sensei." Azumi said as she brought her large sword into a one-handed fencer stance. "It's time to play, sis." A seductive smile appeared on both of the girls' faces.
"I won't let you, Dance of the Crescent Moon." Akira said as he attacked with nine clones.
Five clones of Akira attacked from above Azumi while five others attacked from the sides. They then merged into one as the water nin blocked one of the slashes with her sword.
"Excellent technique, but no attack can penetrate Mizuken." Azumi said as she slashed at Akira, who blocked it. She smiled before continuing, "Also blocking Mizuken, is quite pointless since," Azumi's O-katana's blade turned into water and flowed around Akira's sword and shot toward Akira as a little water spike aimed at his heart, "Mizuken flows around all guards."
Akira released his grip on his sword and leapt back to avoid the attack.
"Excellent, but I can't allow you to do that again." She said as she pulled her sword back and threw his sword with enough force to have it land by Nayoko, the red-headed Death Nin. Nayoko looked at the sword with a little curiosity; her eyes grew wide when she saw the symbol of the Hidden Moon Village on its blade. Where did they get this sword? She turned her attention to the ongoing fight between Akira and Azumi. Was that the owner of the sword?
Shigure drew his two swords and charged towards towards the girl with the longsword. Before his bodyguards could react he had begun attacking Izuna, who smiled as she easily blocked all of his attacks. Eventually he found an opening to drive his wakizashi into her gut after blocking her longsword with his katana; her eyes grew wide as if she was mortally wounded, water rushed out of the wound. Then she smiled as she said:
"Ninpou: Mizu Kawarimi Jutsu." As she turned into a puddle of water and reformed behind him. "Hijutsu: Ice Coffin." As she tapped the pommel of the sword against him, ice quickly encased him up to his neck. "Don't worry, the ice will thaw before you die of hypothermia, but you will have to watch helplessly as I slowly torture your mother, for information about the swords."
"Fire Type: Grand Fireball jutsu." Miharu said as she finished her hand seals and sent a giant fireball towards the water nins.
The twin water ninjas leapt out of the path of the fireball and into the grasp of Ryouji, Akira and Shigehito.
"Ninpou: Water Clone Technique." Azumi and Izuna said as they created four water clones to contain the ninjas. "Ninpou: Water Prison Jutsu." Each of the clones created a large ball of water engulfing each of the ninjas.
Shigehito watched in horror as the two sisters walked towards Lady Sakume, and as Miharu and the others had trouble holding their breath. Shit, it seems that I've gotten all of my genin killed.
All of sudden, the water clone holding Akira prisoner, exploded, setting Akira free in his right hand Shigehito saw a small sphere of very dark chakra that was visible to the naked eye. What in the world!?!
What am I doing out of the bubble? Akira thought as he looked down at the black chakra sphere in his right hand. What technique am I using?
The twins stopped dead in their tracks when they heard the sound of one of their water clones being dispelled. No one could've escaped from our technique. They turned around to see Akira standing up holding a small black chakra sphere. Their eyes grew wide as he pulled a large whirlwind shuriken from a small holder strapped to his left leg and threw it at Ryouji and Shigehito's wardens, instantly dispelling them. How can he destroy our clones with a single hit? He turned to face them and began to run towards them.
Nayoko was watching intently at the dark-haired boy who owned the Katana with the crescent moon on it. What are the chances that this kid is one of the survivors. Non-existent. Her eyes grew wide with excitement when she saw the black chakra sphere. She would've almost laughed at her luck, if he wasn't charging toward her allies, with that very deadly chakra ball.
She disappeared in a puff of smoke and reappeared in front of her allies.
"Ninpou: Shinigami Chakra Absorption!" She said as she grabbed Akira's hands and tried to absorb the chakra ball. Shit, the chakra it burns, I don't know how long I can keep this up. "Azumi and Izuna, retreat…We are abandoning the mission…I'll take responsibility with Masaki-sama…Go NOW!" She stammered out cringing from the pain of the chakra.
The two Mist Ninjas quickly disappeared into the woods, ending the two remaining water clone techniques and the Ice Coffin Technique.
"You are very strong, kid…What is your name?" Nayoko asked as she leapt back to get away from Akira and that dark chakra sphere.
"Akira Aijigetsu from the Hidden Leaf Village." Akira replied as he ended the mysterious dark chakra ball technique.
"Quite a fitting name." She said weakly, reaching into the pouch on left thigh and retrieved a small scroll which she tossed to Akira. "This is for you, Akira Aijigetsu. Next time, I will not retreat. And you will see why I, Nayoko Hoshino, am known as the Shinigami Shinobi."
"What is on this scroll?" Akira asked as he stuck it into his jacket pocket.
"Your birthright. Only you have the power to open that scroll, use it well." She said before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
Miharu was breathing heavily trying to catch her breath, while Shigure was shivering excessively from the cold that he had to deal with. Shigehito looked Akira over with a look of confusion on his face.
Ryouji had began using some of his medical ninjutsu on everyone. Everyone looked drained. Shigehito looked towards Lady Sakume, to get permission before saying:
"Okay everyone. We are going to be taking a break here for a few hours." He placed his hands together and spoke, "Earth Type: Stone Shelter Technique." Within seconds a domed stone house sprouted on the edge of the forest. "Everyone choose a room, I'll be standing watch. Get some rest."
No one argued at that order.
Miharu and Lady Sakume grabbed a room together, so that they could all talk as they rested.
"Yeah, I never knew the Akira-kun was that strong. I wonder who those ninjas worked for?" Miharu said as she started to drift off to sleep.
Lady Sakume was deep in thought as she tried to make a connection with what the red-headed death ninja said that day. The Getsukage's swords and a scroll that only the dark-haired boy Akira Aijigetsu can open; what is the missing piece? Aiji, beloved child and getsu, moon, Beloved child of the moon! That's it! The realization hit her like a boulder rolling down the hill, she slowly got up and walked out of the room.
Shigehito was extremely confused trying to solve the riddle that had been presented to him. What was that chakra ball technique? It looked like the Fourth Hokage's Rasengan, but it couldn't be that technique. Getsukage? I've never heard of the Getsukage. To my knowledge, there's only five kages. Hokage, Raikage, Mizukage, Kazekage, and the Rock Village's kage, I can't believe I forgot his title. He sighed, I'm never going to figure out this mystery. I'd better include it in my report. Suddenly he realized that he wasn't alone, he turned to see Lady Sakume behind him.
"What can I do for you, Lady Sakume?" The extremely perverted Jonin asked the attractive weaponsmith.
"I want to know more about Akira Aijigetsu." She asked with an intense look in her eye. This brought a look of disappointment from Shigehito.
"If that's what you want, I'll tell you what I know. He was found in a small farming village near the border of the Lightning Country, by a group of shinobi from my village. He was the only one still alive, so two of those ninjas adopted and raised him at least until their death around twelve years ago. He currently lives with another orphan named Naruto, but that's all I know about his history. I've seen him use techniques that I would rate as high-level to him, so I'd definitely define him as a prodigy." He stopped when he noticed Lady Sakume's face frown. "What's wrong, Lady Sakume?"
Lady Sakume's body tensed up as she tried to think of something to say.
"I guess that I'm a little tired, all of this excitement has worn me out." Lady Sakume lied as she got up and walked back into the stone building. That could've gone better. She thought as she headed back to her room.
Meanwhile, in the boy's room; Akira looked at the scroll with intense curiosity. I wonder what is written on it. He thought as he touched the lock on the scroll. "Only you have the power to open that scroll, use it well." Akira thought about the words that the death ninja, Nayoko Hoshino had spoken. The lock disappeared after it absorbed some of his chakra. It opened, I wonder what's inside. He wondered as he began to unroll the scroll. His eyes widened as he realized that this was a container scroll. Without warning, Akira felt a little weight on his shoulder, he looked over to investigate and saw a tiny silver bearded dragon the size of a gecko sitting on his shoulder.
The dragon looked at him and spoke in a serious tone:
"Wha'cha looking at, punk?"
WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!WHY IS THIS LIZARD TALKING? Akira began screaming in his head.
"What you never seen a dragon before? Your family never showed you, your family's guardian creature?" The tiny dragon said before looking around and asking, "Where are we, kid? This doesn't look like the Heaven Country, to me?"
"We are in the Fire Country…on route to the Artisan Village." Akira replied to the little dragon, still unsure about the dragon's intentions.
"Fire Country?" The little dragon asked questioningly, Akira nodded. The dragon's cat-like eyes narrowed as he started asking Akira questions: "What's your name, kid?"
"Akira Aijigetsu, from the Hidden Leaf Village." Akira replied.
"What is the name of your parents?"
"My adopted parents are Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. I don't know who my birth parents are; they were killed after I was born."
"I see." The dragon said as he tried to figure out what was going on. "I want you to channel wind chakra in your left hand, fire chakra in your right and then lightning chakra to both sides. Next imagine those the three elements merging together to form a ball of dark energy, between your palms. Now have the ball expand as you increase the chakra flow and the distance separating your palms to about four inches in diameter." Akira nodded as he followed the little dragon's instructions and suddenly a black ball of chakra appeared between his palms. "This element is called 'Dark Matter' by the Himura clan, which you are descended from. It was their bloodline limit. They were the only major clan of the Hidden Moon Village, with an element creation bloodline limit. The Saruwatari and the Endou clans, had a series of unique techniques. But your clan was the strongest, which was why the Getsukage was usually selected from your clan."
Akira's lower jaw dropped as he heard this revelation.
"Kid, since I haven't been summoned by anyone but you and that sadistic bitch in over twenty years. So I'm assuming that there are no one left in the Hidden Moon Village. Since there's no one to teach you the techniques of the Himura clan, I'll be your teacher. All that I need from you is to sign your name on this scroll." The dragon said as he jumped on to the container scroll and summoned a larger scroll out of it. The dragon leapt on top of the larger scroll and began unrolling it like in a manner similar to a log roll. A series of unknown names were written on the text.
"I didn't bring anything to sign with…" Akira said as he looked at the list.
"All you need is a little blood to get it to sign it; the rest is filled out automatically, by the information in your blood." The dragon said as he flew over and landed on Akira's shoulder.
Akira nodded his head in understanding as he pulled out a kunai from his pouch and he pricked his left pointer finger on the point of the weapon. He placed the bleeding finger on the scroll, as soon as his blood touched to paper, his name appeared on the scroll in the first empty spot on the scroll. The dragon shook his head in happiness. We have a new contractor, it's about time. The tiny dragon thought to himself.
"Now kid. The technique is done by first making the following hand seals: Boar, Dog, Rooster, Monkey, Ram. Then you slap the ground where you want us to appear. Other than that look through the contents of the container scroll that you got there, it contains everything a young Moon Shinobi will need." The dragon said as jumped on top of the large scroll and began to roll it up.
"How do you know what's in it?" Akira said as he looked down at the tiny scroll, before looking at the little dragon.
"Kid, we had these mass produced for the Hidden Moon Village by the Artisan Village, apparently at least one survived from the destruction of the Village. It's amazing what you could get made back in the old days. Well, Ja ne." The tiny dragon said as he and the large scroll disappeared in a puff of smoke. Akira's head drooped as he let out a disappointed sigh.
He put the container scroll away and laid down to take a short nap, listening to Ryouji's snoring.
Eight hours later, Shigehito came into the boy's room and yelled:
"TIME TO HEAD OUT!!"
Ryouji and Shigure instantly sat up at the sound of Shigehito's annoying voice. Akira remained blissfully sleeping.
"Where's the fire!?!" Ryouji spoke loudly. He turned his head drunkenly towards his sensei. "Why did you have to go and ruin such a beautiful dream? It's not like I can find such a beautiful girl anywhere!"
Unintelligible nonsense came from Shigure's location as he leaned against the wall and fell back to sleep.
Akira was still sleeping through this insanity. Shigehito's face scrunched up into a frown as he walked over to his sleeping student and began kicking him in the side.
"Akira get up. We are going to be leaving soon." Shigehito ordered, still kicking Akira lightly in the side.
"…give me five more minutes." Akira spoke half asleep.
"Get up now. We need to head out, now." Shigehito ordered sternly, still kicking him in the side.
"Damnit, stop kicking me, sensei!"
"Only when you get up."
"Fine, I'm up." Akira said with a yawn.
"Good, the others are being woken as we speak. Head outside and meet everyone for breakfast." Shigehito ordered as he began to melt into a pile of stones. Akira was not amused.
"Nice. Sensei used a rock clone to wake us up." Ryouji said as he walked over to Akira. Shigure was still getting his stuff together.
"I'm going to go get something to eat. I'll see you out there." Akira said as he walked out, putting on his jacket and his sword at the same time. "When I get my hands on that bastard…"
Shigehito watched as everyone came out of the domed stone fortress. They still had day light left, he noted. He handed everyone a packaged meal before enjoying his.
Ryouji walked over to Akira and sat down next to him on a log, before enjoying his meal. After a few bites, he stopped eating and cockily turned his head toward his teammate.
"Yo, Akira. I want to spar against you when we get back home." Ryouji said with a serious look on his face. "I want to see which one of us is stronger. So, can we?" He smiled.
Akira was taken by surprise at the serious request of his usually flirtatious teammate. He found himself speechless, for once.
"Well? What do ya say?" Ryouji said with an eager grin on his face.
"I'm not sure that I'd be a good match against you." Akira said as he hung his head down. Ryouji just laughed at that remark.
"Ya think that you'd be a bad match against me? Dude, don't sell yourself short, your pretty fucking strong. If it weren't for you, everyone here would be dead. I'm not expecting to win against you I just want to see how far I can go against you." Ryouji replied cheerfully.
Shigehito walked over to his students said loudly:
"Ok everyone. It's time to move out."
The group gathered their stuff and headed off down.
Many hours past before the group made it to the Artisan Village. The giant doors were opened and people were bustling to the shops. The group walked over to the Gatekeepers to check in.
"Lady Masaya Sakume and escorts, checking in." Shigehito said as he led the group to the Gatekeepers desk. The two shinobi looked up and took down their information on a pad of paper.
"It's good to see you back, Sakume-sama. I take it that your trip was productive." One of the shinobi Gatekeepers said to Lady Sakume.
"It was quite productive." She replied with a slight blush, she continued after it went away, "Is Elder Kenji at his house? I need to speak with him, as soon as possible."
"He's probably there, but you'd better check with his secretaries, to be sure."
"Arigato." She spoke with an elegant bow. She then gestured to the rest of the group, "Come on everyone. I'll show you to the inn."
Katsume was the first to speak up.
"Forgive my intrusion, but we should probably begin heading back to the Hidden Leaf Village soon."
Lady Sakume simply smiled and replied in a gentle motherly tone.
"Don't worry, I'll send a falcon to the Hokage to inform him." She said as she led the group around the village. "Just rest and have fun this evening, I'll set up rooms in the inn for you." The rest of the group's faces paled as she spoke, including her son's.
Later that night, the Genin team arrived for dinner at Lady Sakume's home. The Genin's eyes grew wide as they stared at all the food on the table.
"Oh Kami! I've never seen so much food in my life!" Akira exclaimed, drooling a little, remembering the meager meals that he usually made.
"Wow…I was not expecting this much food." Miharu said taking in the size of the meal.
"Yatta! They've got Sake!" Ryouji yelled excited, much to the rest of his team's dismay.
I can't believe we have a crazy alcoholic on our team. Miharu and Akira thought while hanging their head in shame.
"Please allow me to thank you all with dinner." Lady Sakume said motioning the team to take a seat around the large food covered table.
Everyone took a seat around the table, Miharu across from Akira, and next to Ryouji while Shigehito sat next to Akira, much to Akira's dismay.
Great, I get stuck next to uber-perv, just my luck…Akira thought with a sigh.
"Well eat up!" Lady Sakume ordered.
Everyone reached for a set of chopsticks and before snapping them, said in unison:
"Itadakimasu!"
After everyone finished eating Lady Sakume ordered some servants to bring gifts for their guests.
Four servants brought each carrying a gift walked over to the table. The first servant walked over to Shigehito carrying a Limited Edition of the first Icha Icha book that had been signed by the author. The second servant brought Ryouji, a pouch of very rare ninja flower seeds. The third brought Miharu a pair of arm wraps made from a special fabric that aided in manipulating chakra. The last one brought a pair of black and silver ornate sheathed katanas, for Akira.
Akira blinked a couple times as stared at the twin swords. I've never seen such craftsmanship before and I'm just looking at the scabbards. He stood up and bowed towards Lady Sakume and said with a little bit of tears in his eyes:
"Domo Arigato, Masaya-san."
At this everyone was a little shocked to see tears in the young boy's eyes.
"You are very welcome, I owe you and your team my life, this is the least that I can do to begin to repay you for protecting me." Lady Sakume said.
About a half hour later, the entire Genin team arrived at the hotel that Lady Sakume requested for the group. Once again the look of surprise at the grandeur of the rooms was priceless.
Several minutes passed, before any of them could speak.
"We hit the jackpot getting this mission!" Ryouji said throwing himself on the bed. His face was beaming from happiness. "Miharu-chan, care to join me?" He asked with a sly grin on his face.
As soon as Ryouji began his 'attempted' seduction of his female teammate, Akira left the room as quickly as he could. Primarily to hide the small nosebleed that had erupted. Oh shit, that could've been bad. He thought to himself trying to get the image out of his head. His curiosity now drifted to the two swords in his hands, I haven't taken them out of their scabbards yet, I wonder what they look like… He casually set one of his new swords on his bed and unsheathed the second sword to examine it. The katana's blade was as black as the darkest night sky, the blood fullers were perfectly aligned, and the tsuba was shaped like a silver coiled dragon, the black leather wrap hilt on top of the silvery dragon skin made the sword as functional as it was beautiful. A small image of the crescent moon was engraved on to the blade right above the tsuba.
Oh man, these swords are worth the value of the entire Hidden Leaf Village each and Lady Sakume gave them to me like they were a hindrance to her. He thought trying to fathom his expensive gifts.
Meanwhile, the rest of the team was laying down resting. Miharu began dreaming of her two male teammates and introducing them to her family…
(Miharu's Dream)
Miharu looked her and recognized that she was in the Hidden Leaf Village, near the Uchiha Compound. A smile quickly came over her face, Yatta! I'm home.
"Miharu-chan." Akira suddenly appeared next to her, "Let's go I can't wait to meet your family." He smiled sweetly at her, she couldn't help but blush.
"Yo Miharu! I thought you and I were going to meet your family?" Ryouji appeared on the other side of her, with a bottle of Sake and a bouquet of red roses in his hands. His eyes seemed to promise adventure. He handed her the flowers. She took them blushing like a fool.
Wow…I don't know who to pick. She thought. At least this is a dream. It's not like this is really going to happen.
Akira looked a little depressed and disappointed over Ryouji's sudden appearance.
"Miharu-chan, I'm going to go see how my little brother is doing. I'll leave you be."
Huh? She blinked, Why would Akira just up and leave like that? Is he jealous of Ryouji?
"Well come on babe. Your family's waiting for us." Ryouji said as he took a swig of Sake.
They entered the compound, it was empty.
Why is the compound empty? It's never empty. What is going on here? She thought while panicking.
Suddenly she saw a darkened figure with a pair of bright red predatory eyes, a sword was in his hand.
"It's time to finish the job. Die Uchiha!" The figure said as he brought the sword down to slash. A look of surprise appeared in the figure's eyes as its sword was stopped by a pair of katanas. Gripping the two katanas was none other than Akira.
"Are you alright, Miharu-chan? I just had this sudden thought that you might be in trouble so I ran over here as quickly as possible." Akira said struggling to keep the dark figure from hurting her. She blinked a few times while thinking, Akira-kun came to my rescue.
"Ninpou: Nature's Embrace." She heard Ryouji say, as thick vines began to wrap around the dark figure.
"It's time for you to die." Akira's blades glowing with a black aura, suddenly he slashed through the dark figure disintegrating it.
"Nice try, but no one can stop my goal." The Dark Figure replied behind her before she felt a sharp pain in her back and then…
(End Dream)
Suddenly, Miharu woke up in a sweat. What was that all about? That was the worst dream I have ever had. And why do I have this strange sense of foreboding?
Meanwhile in another room, Ryouji was dreaming having some naughty dreams.
(Ryouji's Dream – Lemon)
He looked around his room at the beautiful women that he had collected, Now which one will I have this time? "I want you two." He pointed to the two water ninjas that they had fought earlier. "I always wanted to have a threesome with twins." He smiled as he licked his lips. I'm going to enjoy this. Looking over their slender but voluptuous curves he smiled, before cutting off their clothes with a small tanto. He started by kissing the collarbone of the water nin, Azumi, while one of his plants teased and aroused the other girl.
"Oh, Master Ryouji, you are making us so wet and horny. We want you now, master. We need your long shaft inside of us, filling us. Unshackle us and we will try to satisfy you." The girls pleaded in between moans.
He unshackled the twins and led them to his bed where they set to work. They took turns licking the tip of his shaft. He smiled as Azumi pushed her lips past the head of his shaft and began gently licking the swollen head with the tip of her tongue. While Azumi tended to the head, her twin sister began slowly licking the sides of his large instrument. He couldn't prevent himself from letting out a moan, from the pleasure. One of the girls, which one, he didn't know nor care at this moment, placed her knees on both sides of his shoulders and brought her sex right in front his face as she tended to his desires. Oh yeah!!! He thought to himself as he inserted his tongue into the folds of her womanhood and began to return the favor.
"Oh Master." Izuna moaned from the pleasure. Azumi's head began to bob as she went up and down the shaft with her tongue.
"Ryouji, it's time to wake up." A quiet disembodied voice called.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!" Ryouji screamed as his dreamscape disappeared and was replaced by his empty room and the sounds of his team pounding on his door and yelling at him to wake up.
He began to cry…
Morning came too quickly for the rest of Team five. Akira's eyes opened, Oh man, it's morning already He realized with a yawn. I'd better get ready.
He pulled his unwilling body out of the bed and quickly threw on his clothes. After a few minutes, he was fully dressed in his typical clothes, a navy blue tee-shirt, a pair of forest green pants, and his black jacket. His two new katanas' scabbards were slipped into his belt on both sides of waist, while his chakra blade katana was strapped to his back. He had tied his ninja headband around his left arm and had his kunai pouch around right thigh. His shoulder-length dark hair flowed down around his face before he pulled it back into his typical small ponytail.
He pulled open the door to his room only to find out that Miharu and the rest of the Squad was waiting for him.
"What took you so long, Akira-kun? Ryouji was the only difficult one to wake up." Miharu said as she pointed to the sullen blond-haired teen to her left.
"Whatever…I wish I had some sake right now. I was having a really good dream too, before you and sensei woke me up." Ryouji said with a disappointed tone to his voice.
Akira reached into his pocket and got out his wallet, and handed Ryouji two-hundred ryo.
"Get yourself some sake, I'd rather not have to deal with a pessimistic Ryouji, the entire trip home." Akira said casually. Ryouji's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.
"Thanks man. I'll be right back." Ryouji said as he took off to the store to pick up a bottle of Sake.
"Sensei, how about I escort Miharu-chan to the gate and you and Ryouji meet us there when he gets back." Akira suggested trying not to get stuck with either of the perverts in his squad.
Shigehito thought for a moment before making a series of hand seals.
"Earth Element: Rock Clone Jutsu."
The rest of the squad just looked petrified at the thought of where the rock clone would sprout out from. Suddenly, an uproar could be heard from outside. Just great, sensei just had to scare the civilians. The genin thought as they hung their heads, a bead of sweat ran down each of their foreheads.
"Ok everyone. I'm going to leave my rock clone to deliver the message to Ryouji, while the rest of us," He paused to adopt his ridiculous pose. "Will wait for him at the gate!"
"…" Was the team's response. What gods did we offend to have this guy as our sensei. The team wondered almost collectively.
Together they headed for the gate to await their alcoholic teammate.
When they arrived at the gate they were surprised to see that their partially drunken teammate was already waiting for them.
"Hey guys. Hic…Wazzup? Hic. Wat took you so long? I've finished half this bottle already." Ryouji drunkenly said to his teammates.
"Huh? You've finished half the bottle in less than ten minutes and you're still conscious, how!?!" Akira questioned, almost unable to comprehend the answer.
"Well, since Ryouji is here with us, we don't need to have a clone of me existing in this village." Shigehito said as he focused. "Release!"
Back at the hotel across town, Shigehito's Rock Clone began to breakdown on to the floor. Eventually only a small pile of dirt and rocks are left on the floor.
"Damn kids, leaving a pile of dirt and rocks in the middle of my clean hotel for me to clean up. I'm going to kill them." The team heard the angry hotel manager all the way from the exit gate.
"Umm…We should go now." Miharu suggested everyone else nodded and they sprinted back to the Hidden Leaf Village.
They returned to the village right as the sun began its descent into the horizon. After they checked in with the two chuunin gatekeepers, Shigehito turned to the group with a smile and said:
"Good job, everyone. Take tomorrow off, and rest up."
"Awesome, that will give me time to go see Hayate-sensei, and learn some new kenjutsu techniques." Akira said out loud almost like he was talking to himself aloud, as he began to fiddle with his two new swords.
"We should celebrate with dinner at my house. I'm sure that my mom would be happy to fix dinner and my cousin, Itachi, could show you some kenjutsu, Akira-kun." Miharu offered.
"That sounds awesome, but I'll have to bring aniki with me. Is that alright, Miharu-chan." Akira said with a smile.
"…crazy bitch." Ryouji said as he drank the last of his bottle of sake. "You guys…go have fun… I tink…I'm going to go rest here for a little bit before I head home. I'm not feeling so good." Ryouji said as he toppled into the grass, and passed out.
Miharu started laughing at the sight of her teammate passing out all of the sudden. Akira just shook his head in disbelief, and then sighed.
"Looks like we got to take him home before we go to your house." Akira said as he attempted to lift up his passed out teammate and help him home. Suddenly Akira stopped and he turned towards Miharu with a bashful, klutzy look on his face and asked, "You don't by any chance know where he lives?"
At this Miharu started laughing harder.
"I guess I'll have to drop him off at my house, and get aniki to watch over him…" Akira realized before letting out a sigh. He could only think of one thing to say at his situation. "So troublesome…"
Miharu began laughing so hard she began to cry. Akira just shook his head and began the long trek to his small apartment. Several minutes past until she finally stopped laughing long enough to realize that her two teammates were gone…
"Hey wait for me!" She called to her rapidly disappearing teammates, as she started running towards them.
The normally long trek to his apartment took even longer than anyone anticipated, due to Ryouji's current lack of motor skills.
"I can't believe that I had to drag your ass, all the way from the main gate because you can't hold your liquor. Baka!" Akira muttered mostly to himself, before turning to yell at his pretty much unconscious teammate. "I hope that you have the biggest hang-over in the world. Baka!"
Akira reached for the doorknob, only to have it open for him. A voice cried out from the living room.
"Nii-san! Where have you been? You missed my graduation." An overly excited Naruto came running to the door. He looked at his older brother and then at Ryouji, with a look of confusion on his face. "What's with the Ryo-san doing here?" (Yes I know Naruto is calling Ryouji 'money'-san. I thought it would be amusing.)
"He's going to be lying on the futon, since I…err…WE have no idea where he lives." Akira said grumpily as he pushed Naruto out of the way and dropped Ryouji on the couch. Akira looked over at Naruto, with a look that would make that damned cat, Tora, die of fright, and said: "What do you mean you graduated? Graduation isn't for another two months, you baka!" Akira said before whacking Naruto on his head. "And for you information, I was on a mission, you baka!" He whacked him again.
Naruto was seeing stars around this time.
"Oh---kay nii-san. I didn't know that you mastered the Bushin no Jutsu." Naruto said dizzily.
At this time, Miharu finally caught up. Panting, she bent over to prop herself up so that she wouldn't fall.
"huff…Why…huff…didn't…huff…you…huff…wait…huff…for me?" Miharu asked while trying to catch her breath. "We need to…head over…to my house…now that Ryouji…and your brother…are taken care of."
Akira just looked over at her calmly, and while smiling asked:
"You need a drink, Miharu-chan? We've got plenty of water. It might help you feel better."
"Sure…water…sounds…good…Can I…come in…to catch my breath?" Miharu asked from the doorway.
"I'm surprised you asked, come in." Akira said motioning for her to enter and relax. He ran to the kitchen and got her a glass of ice water to rehydrate her.
"Domo Arigato." She said as she accepted the glass. She greedily drank it on the spot.
"We can head to your house when you're ready. Just relax, for now." Akira said as he went to his room to change into a new set of clothes.
Miharu closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them, Akira had changed into a pair of black pants, a navy blue tee-shirt and his favorite jacket. He still had his two new swords tucked into his belt on either side of his waist, but the pair of black leather fingerless gloves were new. Damn I feel like the damsel in the fairy tales I used to read. She thought looking at her teammate, trying not to blush.
"Are you ready?" Akira asked as he tried to help her up, as she stood up she nodded. I'd better take her home before her parents get pissed at me. "Well we'd better head out."
