Chapter 3: Mist vs Leaf
The two bodyguards of Gatou had entered Tazuna's house while our heroes were gone and captured Tsunami and saw Inari and were about to lunge at him when they were suddenly knocked in the back of the neck, and rendered unconscious by Naruto.
"Naruto? But I thought you were suppose to be with the others?" Inari asked confused but also relieved that he saved them.
"I'm only a clone of Naruto. On their way, Naruto decided to make a clone in order to make sure that Gatou wouldn't try anything underhanded like trying to kill you guys and I guess he was right." the clone explained.
"But what should I do?" Inari told the clone.
"That's for you to figure out." the clone said with a foxy smile and then poofed up.
Inari nodded and smiled for the first time in a long while before heading to the other houses in order to try and rally the villagers around him
"Let me show you one of my skills. It's called Shunchi (reduced earth) and it goes like this!" Nagisa said.
He then tapped the ground twice with his feet and then reappeared behind Naruto in an instant. He then swung his sword but then suddenly, a clone of Naruto appeared from Naruto's body, pushed the original out of the way and took the blow for him.
'What the? I swear I didn't see him do any seals at all!' Nagisa thought.
'That was close. If I didn't do a clone then I would have been dead.' Naruto thought.
"That clone you just made without any seals…that's a kekkai genkai isn't it?" Nagisa asked the other blonde.
"Kekkai Genkai? No way, no one in my family has a kekkai genkai." The Yondaime's son answered.
"You sure about that? Because when you did that clone, you did it with no seals and there's no way that's possible." Nagisa said
"I really don't know what it is. It's something I have been able to do since I learned Kage Bushin." Naruto said.
"Actually it is a kekkai genkai." Ichi Kyuubi told his jailer.
'Are you serious Ichi?' Naruto asked mentally.
"Yes. All of you have a kekkai genkai thanks to the tails and yours is called Adaptive Memory. Basically, it allows your body to remember jutsus that you have done and allows you to do them without even using hand seals since your body memorized it. All you need to do is think about the technique and your body will do it." Ichi Kyuubi explained.
'That's good to know." Naruto said.
Then, Naruto used his kekkai genkai to create ten clones. They all took out their kunais and then charged after Nagisa. They surrounded and then began swinging their kunais, forcing Nagisa to block and evade them.
"You think that because I wield this huge sword that I'm slow? Don't underestimate me!" Nagisa barked
Nagisa then backed up what he said and swung his sword at all the clones and Naruto, cutting everyone except for Naruto, who was sent in the air by one of his clones before that said clone was destroyed.
'What can he possibly do from mid-air?' Nagisa thought
Naruto did some seals and then extended his left hand forward,
"Fuuton: Kaze Ha Oshi No Jutsu! (Wind Element: Wind Wave Pressure)" Naruto yelled out.
Nagisa was then slammed to the ground by an unknown force,
'He struck me with air pressure?' Nagisa asked mentally as he recovered.
"I'm not done yet! Fuuton: Dai Kaze Ha Oshi No Jutsu (Wind Element: Great Wind Wave Pressure!)" Naruto yelled as he fired air pressure from both hands
"Oh no you don't! Suiton: Suiryuudan No Jutsu (Water Element: Wind Dragon Missile Technique)!" Nagisa yelled out
He then fired a water dragon from his mouth to cancel the wind wave
'He fired a high-level water technique from his mouth?' Naruto analyzed as he landed on the ground.
"Your kekkai genkai is impressive Naruto but my kekkai genkai even more deadlier than yours. It is called Toukai (Sword Release) and it goes like this." Nagisa said with a smirk.
He then put his left hand on his katana and it then transforms into a katana with a small ring near the crossguard and an orange hilt.
'His sword changed form.' Naruto noticed
"Let's begin. Toukai: Benihiko (Sword Release: Crimson Flying Locusts)!" Shinji yelled out.
He then moved the blade around him in a circle, and then a trail appears from the swordsman's path which then turns into sword which then flew toward Naruto.
"Fuuton: Kaze Touza No Jutsu (Wind Element: Wind Current Technique)!" Naruto yelled out
Wind then blew toward the swords and moved them out of the way.
"Tensho (Heaven Spear)!" Nagisa yelled as he once again put his hand on his blade, which then glowed white and extended toward Naruto at high speed.
Naruto dodged it and then fired a Kaze Ha Oshi at Nagisa using his kekkai genkai without doing any seals.
"Kirigasho (Mist Fang Slice)!" Nagisa yelled out as his sword turned into a silver katana with a chain in the back of the hilt and he then swung it and shot a concentrated blast of chakra in the form of a crescent moon.
The concentrated blast of chakra then collided and cancelled out Naruto's attack.
'His kekkai genkai is overwhelming. I have to find a way through it or else I won't win." Naruto thought as he panted, exhausted.
"My Toukai allows me to basically transform a sword into another type of sword that I wish and not just that, but I can also change any non-living thing into a sword, basically allowing me to crease an infinite amount of swords." Nagisa explained.
Naruto then formed a multitude of clones and ordered them to charge at Nagisa
"That won't work on me!" Nagisa said.
He then cut through all the clones effortlessly with his sword. But he then gasped as Naruto had appeared right in front of him, just as he had finished off the clones, and with his hands engulfed in wind
"Of course it wasn't going to work because that was NEVER the intention!" Naruto said with a smirk.
'He used his clones as a diversion in order to keep my attention off him. I was careless.' Nagisa thought as he gritted his teeth, preparing for the incoming blow
"Eat this! Fuuton: Kaze Bazooka (Wind Element: Wind Bazooka)!" Naruto yelled out.
He then struck Nagisa in the gut with both hands, unleashing tremendous air pressure that not only affected the young swordsman externally but internally as well (It's basically Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Bazooka). The blow caused Nagisa to throw up blood as he was knocked back at least twenty meters before landing hard on the ground.
'It's a good thing that I inherited father's knack for creating jutsus in the midst of a battle.' Naruto thought.
He was then snapped out of his thinking when he heard a huge yell coming from Nagisa, as the latter got back up, glaring at our blonde hero while clutching his stomach.
'It looks like that attack wasn't enough to finish him off.' Naruto thought.
"You bastard, how dare you do this to me? I don't care if you are the root but I will make you pay for this!" Nagisa growled.
Suddenly, his eyes turn blue with slits in the middle. His whisker marks got wider and deeper, his nails turned into claws, fangs grew in his mouth, and then chakra burst from his body in the form of a dark bluish Kyuubi.
He then emitted a huge roar that everyone heard,
"Nagisa-kun." Haku said while in her one of the mirrors she had created to fight Sasuke and Sakura.
"That chakra is coming from that boy Naruto is facing. It's monstrous." Sasuke said as he felt the chakra.
"Naruto-kun…" Sakura whispered as she began to worry about her boyfriend/teammate
'That boy also has the Kyuubi?' Kakashi thought
"Ha ha ha ha. Now that Nagisa has brought it out, there's no way that kid will walk away alive now." Zabuza said with glee.
'Dear God this chakra is insane. It's like literally choking me.' Naruto thought.
"Where are you looking at?" Nagisa said.
He was behind Naruto before the young blonde could even notice. Before Naruto could even react, Nagisa sliced him across the back, leaving a cut on his back. But Nagisa wasn't done yet as he then connected with a roundhouse kick to Naruto's face, adding more onto the pain and sending the boy flying back about ten meters.
Nagisa walked over to Naruto, who was on his back wincing in pain, and then began to stomp on his stomach, causing even more pain to Naruto, over and over until he had enough and then began to laugh.
"It really sucks that someone as weak as you is the root of all the psyches. If it wasn't for the fact that if you die then we all die, I would have killed you right here and now." Nagisa said with a smirk.
But then that smirk was wiped off his face as Naruto turned into a piece of log
"Kawarini!" Nagisa said gasping in disbelief.
He was then punched hard in the face by Naruto's right hook, which was engulfed in orange chakra.
'No way…' Nagisa thought as to his surprise, Naruto was standing there, engulfed in orange chakra.
"I used kawarini as soon as I struck the ground, and you're not the only one who can use your tail's chakra you know. Ichi taught me how to tap into it during my training in the woods. It seems to enhance my strength and also heals me which is pretty good." Naruto said.
"You're really starting to piss me off Naruto." Nagisa said with a glare.
"You got lucky that I was surprised by your chakra that last time but it won't happen again or ever again because I'm going to end this fight now." Naruto responded back with a glare.
"If we're truly going to end this fight then allow me to show you one more trick. This trick is the kenjutsu style that I call Hiramekitouryuu (Flash Sword Style)." Nagisa said.
He then began to use Shunchi all over the place, appearing and attack in multiple spots causing Naruto to just stand and make clones to take damage.
However Naruto grinned and then made a couple of hand seals
"You fell right into my trap." Naruto whispered.
"Fuuton: Sho Shippu Arashi (Rising Hurricane Storm)!"
Suddenly a large hurricane burst from Naruto's hands and engulfed Nagisa, cutting him all over before dropping him to the ground from a very high point.
"I...I lost?" Nagisa asked as he was unable to get back up due to the pain.
"Yes you did. And it seems your friend has also lost." Naruto answered.
And like Naruto said, Haku did lose as her mirrors broke apart and she flew about 30 meters, almost near Nagisa, before hitting the ground with her mask broken.
"Naruto-kun! You're alright." Sakura exclaimed as she and Sasuke met up with their friend.
"Yeah I am and it seems you guys have gotten a lot stronger." Naruto said with a smile.
"What are you going to do now Naruto?" Nagisa asked.
"Kakashi-sensei! Stop the fight." Naruto yelled out.
"Have you gone mad Naruto? He is our enemy!" Kakashi barked back to the blond.
"No he's not. Gatou is." Naruto replied sternly.
"Sorry kid but I work for Gatou and thus I'm your enemy as well." Zabuza said.
"Zabuza-san, please stop fighting! We don't want to do this anymore." Haku said.
"Haku?" Zabuza said surprised at what his adoptive daughter said.
"She's right. We don't want to live like this, having to put aside our pride as shinobi so we can work for greedy bastards like Gatou. Naruto told us a couple of days that if we went to the Leaf with him, that he could get amnesty for us so that we can start our lives over again and become respectable shinobi since his dad is the Hokage. And to be honest Zabuza, that doesn't sound like bad idea." Nagisa told him and then grinned.
"Please Zabuza-sama, let's stop all this fighting." Haku pleaded with her adoptive father.
Zabuza's facial features softened and he then chuckled,
"I love you kids too much." He told them, and then said to Kakashi, "Alright Kakashi, I'm not going to be your enemy anymore and I will take up on that Naruto kid's offer." Zabuza said to the silver-haired jounin.
"Too bad you won't live to do so, Zabuza." A voice said and everyone turned to see Gatou and his whole army of men on the bridge.
"Gatou!" Zabuza growled.
"That's Gatou? I thought he looked more intimidating." Sakura asked, suspicious.
"Haven't your parents ever told you about not judging things on appeareances, little girl?!" Gatou yelled at Sakura before turning back his focus on Zabuza, "Hehehe, the plan has changed. Well, actually I was planning to do this from the beginning. Zabuza, I'm going to have you killed here, I never planned on paying you any money. Hiring a normal ninja from the village is expensive and they may betray me, so I use you nuke-nins who are easier to take care of afterwards. I have the ninja battle each other and once they're weakened I kill them off with numbers. It doesn't cost me anything. Good plan, don't you think? The only problem in the plan was you, Zabuza. The Devil of the Hidden Mist? What a joke, if you ask me. You're just a cute little baby devil." He said to Zabuza, causing the ex-mist nin to glare at him.
"That's enough, kill them!" Gatou ordered
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Zabuza laughed, startling Gatou and his men, "Kill me? You must have lost your mind, Gatou. There's no way you can kill me, THE DEVIL OF KIRIKAGURE!" Zabuza roared.
He then ran toward Gatou and his men and started to slash through them despite getting stabbed by some of them. Gatou then tried to run away but Zabuza then stabbed him in the midsection and then brought his sword up, cleaving Gatou in two vertically.
"Why you! You killed our meal ticket. Now you're going to die and we'll pillage the village and take anything of value! Let's go!" The rest of the thugs yelled
They we're about to kill Zabuza and the others when an arrow hit the bridge in between them and the thugs. All the shinobi turned to see Inari leading a large group of villagers armed with crossbows, spears, axes, swords, and other simple weapons.
"If you come any further onto this island, the citizens of this country will stop you with everything we've got!" Inari yelled. The rest of the thugs left on the boat, afraid of the villagers' wrath.
"Zabuza-sama!" Haku said as she saw his injuries.
She had gotten up and was going to help him when he held his hand up to stop her
"I'm okay." Zabuza said to his two apprentices before falling down to the ground.
"DON'T SAY THAT AND THEN FALL TO THE GROUND, BAKA!" Haku yelled.
"Well then, I would say our mission is finished but I am not going to like the sound of telling Yondaime-sama about bringing in missing-nins." Kakashi to his team and they nodded.
"Just leave it to me Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said with a thumbs-up.
A couple of days later…
"Please dad, can Haku-chan, Nagisa-san, and Zabuza-san get amnesty in our village?" Naruto asked his father in his office, using the most powerful jutsu known to mankind…the Puppy Eyes No Jutsu.
Despite all of his efforts, not even the Yondaime could resist the effects of that jutsu and he then sighed in defeat,
"Alright alright. I am going to give them amnesty." Minato said, and then began signing the papers.
'What an effective jutsu.' Team 7, and the Mist trio all thought
"As of this moment, you three are now members of the Konoha Ninja Force." Minato said to the mist trio.
"So what rank will we be, Hokage-sama?" Zabuza asked.
"Well you will be jounin while the other two will chunnin since they are obviously genin-level but have enough experience to be chunnin." Yondaime explained.
"Thank you very much sir and we won't disappoint." Haku said enthusiastically.
"Can I have a private moment with Naruto and Nagisa please?" Minato asked.
Everyone nodded and left the room except who the Yondaime requested to stay,
"What is it dad?" Naruto asked.
"Why does this young fellow look just like you?" Minato asked as he went straight to the point.
Naruto sighed and then explained everything that Ichi had told him. In the end, Minato was bewildered by all of this,
"Wow. That was more than I expected. So there are a total of nine Narutos out there? I don't know how Kushina is going to handle it." Minato said.
But after awhile, he grinned,
"But it does sound cool that my son has other versions of himself. Who knows, maybe you guys can call me uncle or even dad." Minato told Nagisa.
"I told you that my dad wouldn't have a problem with all of this." Naruto told Nagisa
"In fact Nagisa, why don't I invite and your friends over to dinner at our house tonight? It would be fun to get to know you more." The Yondaime asked the young boy.
"Really?" Nagisa asked, surprised.
He knew that the Leaf Village was friendly but he never expected the Hokage to be so welcoming, almost like another father to him.
"Absolutely. It would be awesome to have you and your friends over." Minato said with a grin.
"Thank you Hokage-sama." Nagisa said with a genuine smile.
"Just call me dad. I mean you are a part of my son technically so I am technically your dad." Minato said.
At first Nagisa was surprised and even shocked. But then the walls in his heart began to crumble
"S…sure, dad." Nagisa said, almost choking up with tears.
For some reason, Nagisa could feel that this was truly home…
(Dream sequence)
(Sand Village)
A couple of children were playing soccer with a ball in a clearing in Sunakagure. Suddenly, one of the children kicked the ball too high and it landed in between a large hill.
"Darn it, it's too high. And we don't know any climbing Justu yet." One of the kids said.
Suddenly the ball was grabbed by sand and landed in the hands of a young boy. The boy had red hair, turquoise-colored eyes with huge black rings surrounding them, and wore a black shirt with a beige top, black pants and black shoes. There was another boy standing next to him. He was a bit taller and more muscular than the red-haired boy. He also had short blond hair, deep blue eyes, and whisker marks on each cheek. He wore a white shirt with black shorts, and dark blue sandals.
"Here's your ball." The red-haired boy said softly as he made the motion of giving the ball back.
"It's Sabaku No Gaara and Sabaku No Nishi! Run away!" The kids said as they took fright.
They turned around and began to run when they suddenly stopped as Nishi, the yellow-haired boy, appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.
"What the fuck is wrong with you bastards? All my otouto wanted to do was give you back the ball and yet you dare run away from him like he's a damn monster!" Nishi yelled at them, glaring.
He then begin to walk closer to the kids and as he did, a flame appeared on his left index finger,
"I'll make you pay for treating my otouto like a monster because I'll show you what a real monster is all about." Nishi growled.
"Stop it aniki! You don't have to hurt them!" Gaara cried out to his aniki, begging him to stop.
Nishi looked at his 'otouto' and then sighed. The flame on his finger died out and he then looked at the kids with a grin,
"You guys sure are lucky my brother is a pacifist or else you would have been dead. Now go ahead and run for all I care." Nishi said.
The kids didn't even waste a second as they ran off, completely terrified of the youngster.
"Geez aniki, why do you have to be so violent like that? I didn't care if those kids ran away." Gaara asked his 'aniki'
"And why do you have to be such a softy Gaara? Geez, don't you get tired of being nice to the people in the village? I understand Temari and Kankurou but why be nice to others for?" Nishi replied.
"I guess it's because I don't want them to think that we're monsters." Gaara answered as his face saddened.
He then felt his hair getting ruffled and looked up at Nishi who was grinning,
"Alright alright, I'll stop being so violent. Now, let's see if we can get something to eat huh Gaara?" Nishi told his little brother.
"Sure!" Gaara exclaimed happily
The two then headed off to find food to eat.
(End dream)
'A different dream huh? Could that guy be another one of my psyches?' Naruto thought as he woke up sweating.
It was morning in Konoha as Naruto got ready to meet up with Sakura for their date.
He ate a small breakfast, headed out of his house, and then met Sakura, as she was waiting for him near a couple of wooden fences.
"Hey Sakura-chan, ready for our date?" Naruto asked her with a grin.
"Of course I am. It's been a while since we had a time to ourselves." Sakura said as she was referring how hectic it has been since graduating from the academy.
"You got that right. Anyway, where does my princess want to go?" Naruto asked, bowing down in a chivalrous way
"It doesn't matter where as long as we're together Naruto-kun." Sakura replied with a smile.
"Sounds good to me." Naruto said with a grin and a bit of blush.
Naruto and Sakura were about to walk when suddenly, Naruto stopped and sighed before turning around.
"What's wrong, Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked as she was wondering why her boyfriend was sighing for.
"Konohamaru, you are not going to fool me with that disguise, a rock doesn't have any holes, dumbass." Naruto said he saw spotted the boy and his friends hiding under a box, following them. Smoke comes out and then Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon come out.
"Konoha's future Hokage and ninja superstar, Konohamaru!" Konohamaru
"Konoha's sexy kunoichi, Moegi!" Moegi said.
"And the one who is a master of the numbers, Udon!" Udon said, finishing the trio's entrance.
"Sakura-chan, I present you the beansprout trio." Naruto said as he pointed to the trio.
"STOP CALLING US THAT!" The three children yelled back but to no avail as Naruto whistled as if he didn't do anything.
"Wow, how cute." Sakura said while Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Hey ni-san, is that you're 'it' Konohamaru asked Naruto as he pointed to Sakura
"Of course she is and hopefully in a couple of years, she will become my wife." Naruto said with smirk as he looked at Sakura, who was blushing madly.
"Hey ni-san, let's play ninja!" Konohamaru said.
He then ran off, only to bump into a boy dressed in all black with make-up on his face and a huge wrapped thing on his face. There was a girl next to him who had blond hair and wore a tight body suit with a large metal thing strapped to her back head, and a red-haired boy that had blue eyes with black rings surrounding his eyes, indicating lack of sleep. He was wearing a dark red slick trenchcoat with a white line going down in the middle. He also wore black pants, black shoes, and a large brown gourd strapped to his back.
The boy with the kabuki make-up grabbed Konohamru by the scarf and growled,
"You should watch where you're going you little shit." The boy said.
"Put him down Kankurou, he's just a kid." The red-haired boy asked.
"Besides, we're strangers here and acting like that isn't good for our image." The pig-tailed girl added.
"Calm down you two. All I'm doing is having some fun." Kankurou said.
"I would listen to them and put the kid down, kabuki boy." Naruto said.
'That guy looks just like Nishi.' Both the red-haired boy and the pig-tailed girl thought as they saw Naruto.
"Are you going to do something if I don't?" Kankurou asked with a smirk.
"No but you are about to get a foot on the back of your head." Naruto said.
Kankurou blinked in confusion and then got stomped to the ground by a foot from the back of his head. The culprit was young boy with short blond hair, brown eyes, whisker marks, and wore an orange/black jacket, white eagle tanktop, black jeans, white shoes, and black fingerless gloves.
"You dumbass! Who told you to go and pick on a little squirt from another village?" The boy yelled at Kankurou as he continued to stomp on him
'So he's another one.' Naruto thought.
"And you Gaara…" The boy began to say as he turned his sights on the red-haired boy, sporting an evil look that scared the said boy, "What kind of crap was that huh? Why didn't you beat up your older brother!" The boy yelled as he put Gaara in a headlock.
"I'm sorry Nishi-aniki, let me go!" Gaara cried as he struggled to free himself.
"You're name is Sabaku No Nishi, age 13, genin from the Sand, possessor of the third tail of Kyuubi and its kekkai genkai called Flame Emperor." Naruto said as he read off his psyche's information like he did with Nagisa.
Nishi heard Naruto and then grinned. He then let go of his brother and then walked toward Naruto until he was face to face with him.
"And you're the root psyche aren't ya? It's nice to meet ya." Nishi said.
He then offered his hand as a salutary greeting. Naruto looked at the hand and then snorted before laughing.
"Do you really think I'm that stupid to shake a stranger's hand, especially a stranger that is leaking killing intent." Naruto said.
Nishi grinned but then got smacked upside the head by the girl's oversized fan, leaving a huge bump on his head.
"Baka! You just beat up Kankurou for being so violent and yet you go and try to do the same!" The girl yelled at him.
"Sorry Temari-chan. It's just that seeing the root here is making my blood boil." Nishi said with a smirk.
"And by the way Nishi, aren't you going to introduce us?" Kankurou asked as he finally got back up and dusted himself off.
"Oh yeah that's right. Guys, the red-haired one is called Sabaku No Gaara, the girl is called Temari-chan, and the other boy is called Kabuki and we're genins of the Sand." Nishi said as he introduced his friends.
"It's Kankurou, dumbass! And why do you keep calling me that?" Kankurou yelled at him.
"Because you touch yourself at night." Nishi said with a giggle.
"I DO NOT!" Kankurou replied, red with embarrassment
"But why are genins of the Sand here?" Sakura asked.
"It's because the chunnin exam is here isn't it?" Naruto asked.
"Yes it is. We're participating in the chunnin exam as representatives of our village." Gaara answered.
"Are you guys going to participate too?" Nishi asked.
"Most likely since our team has been tested long enough to be ready for it, at least according to my dad." Naruto answered.
"If that's the case then let me tell you my other name before we head out." Nishi said.
'Other name?' Naruto thought.
Nishi then put his right middle finger up and it became engulfed with flames,
"My other name is Nishi of the Inferno and if we meet again in the exam, then I'll definitely bring the heat." The other blonde said with a wicked grin.
To Be Continued…
Preview: Chaa! I'm so mad that the author didn't show my fight against Haku! But I am happy that he's letting me do the preview so I forgive him! The chunnin exams are going to be held in Leaf and with everyone in our class participating, will our team stand a chance? And not even that but there's more than one of those Naruto psyches in the exam as there is another named Narou from Rock Village who definitely gives me the creeps. Will Naruto-kun be able to beat Nishi and Narou? Find out next time in Namikaze Brothers!
AN: So yeah, I finished up with Nagisa and now here comes Nishi, the cockiest of the psyches and while he acts like a bad boy, he is nowhere near as bad or evil as the others I have planned. And like in the preview, I will introduce Narou but also introduce one more psyche that won't be participating in the exam but will play a role in the Sound invasion arc.
So read and review and until next time…
