THE BLOOD ANGEL
CHAPTER 9: BLOODLINE
NOTE: It seems I angered two or three folks by killing Gai and Lee... oh well I don't give a flying fuck, not every story is all apples, puppies and sunshine, okay? I didn't kill them just to kill them... you ever hear of drama...? Not to mention Lee was gonna die young the way he treated his body, the idiot.
"ZAIKIN!!!!" a man in a black trench coat yelled furiously, as he extended his huge angel wing's of blood, his short black and red hair flapping around in the chaotic blood red storm that brewed above in the skies "STOP THIS, JIN!!" the black haired man in a gray long sleeve shirt, with a black vest over it, yelled over the storm's wind
"NO! I am not JIN ANYMORE, I am Ketsuro The Blood Angel, now and forever(!!!) and I am TIRED of living an under-appreciated existence... today you DIE big brother!!" The other shouted as lighting struck the plateau, the blood angel creating a sword from blood that came from his hand
"I don't want to fight Jin, stop this madness while you're still YOURSELF! You came across the blood of demons and lusting for power you let it consume you, until you became the hateful demon you are today!" Zaikin shouted drawing a large double edged broadsword from his back
"I am not just ANY demon... I am the demon GOD!!!!!" Ketsuro roared, flapping his wings and launching out at Zaikin who brought his blade up
"dammit... you're soul is lost!" Zaikin shouted clashing blades with his little brother and lightning was draw to their metal and hit right where their blades met each other, in a huge flash
---
Daignmone sat up from the ground and put his hand over his face with a look of fear and anger, panting "cursed nightmare's, they still don't cease... and they wont until I finish my goal..." he thought before turning to his right seeing Kumoyomi sleeping soundly next to him, Sorayomi on the other side. It was still night time
"What bother's you my lord?" Neruneia asked from a tree, which he was in; sitting on a large branch and leaning his back to the trunk
"huh?" Daignmone said turning to see Neruneia above him, then he looked forward and growled "Memories..."
---
Naruto, Tenten, Hinata, Temari, and Ino were standing in the lobby of the hospital, Tenten sat in a chair next to a door, which Sakura walked out of and Hinata looked at the pink haired Kunoichi "He'll be alright won't he?!" she asked frantically
"Yeah... he's not in anger of dying anymore... he lost allot of blood... it's a miracle he made it back as far as he did... and he was lucky we found him" Sakura said
Tenten sighed with relief, so did Hinata
"What happened is what I wanna know" Naruto said angrily
Tsunade walked out of the same door and looked at the group "Don't worry about this whole thing, Neji's okay... and we won't be able to find anything out until he regains consciousness... so you all should keep your appointment in the land of the waves" she said
"But Grann-"
"No buts Naruto" Tsunade said firmly "you need to learn your bloodline, and bond more with these girls... there's nothing more you can do here... so just go" Tsunade said "We'll get to the bottom of this"
"If you say it's alright..." Naruto said, some what reluctantly
"Yeah... let's just go... she's right... we can't do anything more" Ino said
"Alright" the others said in unison and they grabbed their back packs and exited the hospital room
"Tsunade looked up and sighed "please god... if you really exist, don't let this happen... not if it's what I think it is..."
---
"So... should we move on to the water country now?" Neruneia asked standing next to Daignmone, on the edge of a cliff
"Yeah... we've been in the rain and wind up until now... wave is next then the lightning and then earth and then the strongest... Konoha" Daignmone said
"Explain to me why you're going to all the countries" Neruneia said
"Simple; to learn more about this world, it's people, it's strength's, it's weaknesses.. .and to gather as much power for the four of us as possible before striking the strongest country and taking over" Daignmone said
"Did you plan ALL of this before you went into hibernation?" Neruneia asked
"Yes..."
"question... why DID you go into Hibernation master?" Neruneia asked
"Because in my travels to find my father's power, I stumbled across a cave high in a mountain top that had a shrine in it, which at the sacrifice of four other people's blood, I could be sealed into the stone pedestal, then sleep for 1015 years... this process has made me immortal" Daignmone said
Neruneia's eye's widened "You're immortal?!" he snapped
"I can no longer die ..." Daignmone grinned "Nothing can stop me now"
"So you could get cleaved in half and be totally okay?" Neruneia asked
"Well I'm pretty sure it would hurt like a cold hell to Satan... but I would live, yes..." Daignmone said "you could blow me to tiny pieces and not kill me... IF you could blow me to tiny pieces in the first place meheheheheheh" he chuckled
"I see... well I guess I should wake the other two.. " Neruneia said, turning to the sleeping females and he walked up to tem... and kicked them slightly "get up women" he said crossing him arms
Sorayomi sat up "jackass... don't you have any respect for women?" she growled
"seriously mutt-face" Kumoyomi said
"Oh I hold women in high regards... but you see, the thing is..." Neruneia trailed off before looking around his surrounds, then back to them "I don't see any women... I only see two power crazy demon whore's who only want a hard dick in them"
Kumoyomi huffed "lord Daignmone, are you gonna let him treat us lik-" she stop when she saw Daignmone suppressing a laugh and cupping a hand over his mouth
"I'm s-sorry that was-meheheh-actually a good one..." Daignmone said through laughs "Though I can't blame them, Daignmone's everything a woman could want" he said in the third person
"Men..." The female's huffed angrily in unison
"Oh don't let that get to you girls-"
'KAAAWW' an eagle screeched as it flew in and started clawing Daignmone's face with it's talons, shrieking and shrilling
"AAhhh-get this thing off of me" Daignmone yelled as the bird ripped at his face, he flailed and a screamed before punching it, knocking it dead to the ground
Daignmone was panting, with dozens of deep cut's all over his face, which slowly began to close themselves "That was random" he said
"Seriously..." Neruneia said, turning towards his master, just then the female's both tackled him to the ground
"We'll tech you to talk shit mutt-face" Sorayomi yelled, as they became a ball rolling around and attacking each other Daignmone began to laugh and stumble backwards from it, then bumped into a tree, causing a bee hive to fall on his head.
Neruneia transformed to his demon form and threw women off of himself
"BACK OFF OR I'LL RIP YOUR FACE'S CLEAN FROM YOUR SKULLS!!!" Neruneia's voice dripped with death and anger "Daignmone wants us to move out..." he said changing back to normal
"Really... where to baby?" Kumoyomi asked turning to Daignmone only to see him covered in honey, with a swarm of bee's attacking him. He stumbled over and hit the ground and fire ants marched up and onto him, beginning to bite him EVERYWHERE on his body
"AAAAAHHHH GET THEM OFF OF MEEE!!!!" Daignmone yelled, flailing around
"Stop, drop, and role boss!" Neruneia shouted
"That's for fire you idiot!" Sorayomi said
Daignmone stopped flailing and his body started to glow red, in doing so one by one all the insects attacking exploded in tiny fireballs
Daignmone stood up and started to brush the honey off of himself "Damn goo wielding insects..." he said before sucking some honey off the tip if his finger "least it's honey..." just then he saw a badger come out from the bushes and it came up and sniffed at his feet
"Oh well... do you smell the honey boy?" Daignmone asked kneeling down next to it, and letting it lick his hand clean... but just them it growled and hissed before lunging at his throat, latching on with it's teeth
"AARRGGHH!!" Daignmone chocked before pulling it off his throat with brute force, and then ripping the animal in half
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!?!" Daignmone yelled, just then, a bear walked from the bushes
"Wow, you're joking right?" Daignmone said
Just then the bear roared and charged straight at Daignmone
"MWAAAAAAAAAHHHH" Daignmone screamed as it lunged at him, and tackled him over the edge of the cliff
Neruneia, Sorayomi, and Kumoyomi turned to each other and then stared blankly at the spot of the cliff their master went over
---
Naruto and the five others were making good time, they moved through the tree's quickly and with ease working their way to The Land of Waves
Naruto turned around and looked at Hinata and Tenten... they knew him the best, so or blonde lovable idiot figured they were probably not in the greatest off moods... hopefully when they got to The Land of Waves, he could do something to cheer her up. Tenten was part of that team, and half of the teams gone over night, she felt the worst... that much as obvious
They trip only took a day and a half to get to the Naruto Bridge
They walked along the path up to the bridge, they looked ahead and couldn't see anyone in the slight fog
A figure dashed through the tree tops behind them, and they turned around, and saw nothing
Naruto narrowed his eye's... he wasn't in the mood for another attack... especially another one in The Land of Waves. He drew a kunai and readied himself
"Naruto?" Sakura asked nervously
"Shh"
Just then from the tree's to his right flew a kunai, and he deflected it, then he saw a figure jump from the tree's towards, he couldn't make out who it was through the fog
The figure grew closer and closer, just then "INARI!!" Tazuna's voice echoed out "Where are you?!"
The figure flinched in mid air and it's course was altered to hit the ground in front of Naruto a few feet
Naruto's face dropped at what he saw
"ouch-ouch-ouch" a much older Inari grunted sitting up tp his knee's and he looked up at Naruto "um... Hey!" he greeted with a grin
"Inari?!" Naruto snapped "my god.. DON'T attack me like that... I almost killed you" he said
"heheh sorry... I was just trying to show how strong I've gotten" Inari said
"Well you're good at sneaking" Ino said
"so are these your girlfriends?" Inari teased
Naruto blushed slightly "y-yes and no... I'm not sure about all of them"
"wow you're so lucky... they're really pretty" Inari said looking at them, smiling
"aaww he's so Kawaii" Temari said
"Inari" Tazuna called coming through the fog, and seeing them "There you are..." he said "Naruto! How's it been?" he asked
"Great, accept for one thing..." Naruto said
"Well you can tell me all about it when we get to my place, follow me I have a carriage, and some horses to make crossing the bridge easier" Tazuna said
"Cool..." Naruto said, and they all followed Tazuna onto the bridge some of the way until they came to the carriage and horses
"Just hop on in" Tazuna said, getting on the front seat and grabbing the reins, Inari climbed in the back with the others and closed the door
"So... how did you get something like this?" Naruto asked
"Well I had to walk the bridge carrying my trade supplies, and eventually got the money to buy this and two horses... it makes it so much easier" Tazuna said through the window, before he whipped hte reins and the horses started running picking up speed
"So... what were doing attacking me again?" Naruto asked Inari
"Well ever since you left, I've been training to get strong like you and my dad, so I can protect the people of my home... but I can only teach myself so much... and I was wondering... do you think maybe I could go back to Konoha with you, learn some stuff there on how to be a ninja?" Inari asked
"That's fine with me I guess... but you have to clear that with yer grandfather and your mother" Naruto said
"We both already said he could..." Tazuna said "Everyday he practice's but he's always saying he ants to go to Konoha and train to be a shinobi so he could come back here and protect the bridge and people here"
"oh... well okay ten.. .but where'd you get kunai?" Naruto asked
"My grandpa trades everything... so I've gotten my hands on a few different ninja tools to practice with"
"You're careful though, right? Things like that aren't toy's" Sakura said
"I know-I know... I had to prove I could be responsible with them first" Inari said
"how old are you know?" Naruto asked
"Twelve" Inari answered "is it to late to start?"
"No... it's never to late to become a ninja" Temari said
"I'll put in a word to the Hokage so you wont have to do the academy with people younger then you... I could train you what you haven't figured out and then see If I can get you to take the exams" Naruto said
"Hell we all could probably teach you something" Ino said
"Really?! Would you?!" Inari asked energetically
"Sure... just be patient" Sakura said chuckling
"I could do some of that I guess" Tenten said "I need something to take my mind off of what happened"
"I'll help too" Hinata smiled through her obvious discomfort, granted she didn't have the GREATEST relationship with her cousin, but that's still her own blood
"Yatta!" Inari cheered
---
After a ten minute travel they came to the other end of the bridge, and crossed onto soft dirt and ground
"We'll be there in a minute" Tazuna said, as the horses took a left at a fork and worked their way up a slight hill and went around a turn coming to a stop
They all piled out of the carriage and looked at the large house "wow... you live here now?" Sakura asked
"Yep... Trading make's good money" Tazuna said "C'mon in"
He led them through the front door and walked into the house, he led them to the kitchen where Tsunami was washing dishes
"Mom were back" Inari called
Tsunami turned around and saw the group "oh Welcome! How was your trip?" she asked
"Good, how have you been?" Naruto asked
"Great... ever since the bridge's completion the Land of Waves is rich again, all thanks to you, Sakura, your sensei and Sasuke" Tsunami said
"hm... well Sasuke's not around anymore" Naruto said
"Did he die?!" tsunami asked
"No... but he betrayed us" Naruto said
"Oh... I'm sorry to here that... here sit down, I'll make some tea and we can catch up" Tsunami said
"Thanks" Naruto said, him and the girls took a seat at the kitchen table, Tazuna and Inari pulled up two other chairs and sat down
---
Daignmone, Neruneia, Sorayomi, and Kumoyomi sat in a ferry as it crossed the sea into the water country
Other people moving about and going about their day, waiting to reach land
Daignmone took a sip off some wine and laid back in his chair, enjoying the sun, with his jacket and shirt off
Sorayomi and Kumoyomi were in bikini's, and Neruneia was in his normal clothes sitting against the rail of the boat "you can only enjoy this because we came in fall if it were winter which it will be in a month or two we'd be knee deep in snow..." he said
"Water country that bad?" Daignmone said "still nothing we can't handle"
"Yeah, so just stop talking so much and have fun" Kumoyomi said
"I talk to ask questions, questioning is the first part of gaining knowledge... in simple terms you could understand, I want to know about this whole deal. I talk to expand that knowledge to other's... not to mention I've been in the water country during winter. It SUCKS okay?"
"I'm just enjoying the sun while it's out" Daignmone said... "along with the whine and the glorious view of you two in bikini's" he said looking at the females of their group
---
"wow... you've been through allot" Tsunami said, after a 2 hour summary of everything Naruto's gone through since he left the wave
"Yeah... hell in a ham basket, then back again" Naruto said
"Well I guess I'll make some food for us all" Tsunami said
"Please... we're starving" Ino said
"Ono... could I help you...? I enjoy cooking" Hinata said
"Yes, let her she's a great cook!" Temari said
"Heheh okay" Tsunami said "Come on, let's make something good" she said
"okay" Hinata smiled and she stood up
"Here I'll show you your rooms" Tazuna said butting down his beer and getting up, they followed him to the seconds floor, and opened a door "I'm going to go out on a limb and presume you want to stay in the same room?" he asked
"um... sure" Sakura said
"Fine with me" Naruto replied
The others nodded and he showed them the room, it was pretty large, a king sized bed, and a couch with two closets "there you go.. .tell me if you need anything to fit you all" Tazuna said walking down stairs
"Thank you" they said in unison, before going to unpack their things
---
a hour later after unpacking and eating, Naruto had a full belly, and he walked down to the shore, and unraveled his Uzumaki bloodline scroll before sitting down
it read; 'To awaken the powers of the sea, one can't just command it, one must be accepted by the oceans, not every Uzumaki may do this, only those who are compatible with the oceans and it's will. the subject must meditate on the surface of the ocean, clearing your mind, envision drops of water, falling in front of you, the imagine one drop stopping mid-air, before expanding it in size until it consumes you in your entirety, then envision yourself becoming the water around you, if you are accepted you obtain the will of the ocean, and you will be granted undying and unhindered control of the sea's and their limitless power'
"...better give it a shot" Naruto said to himself before standing up, rolling the scroll up and then stepping onto the water from the dock he walked out a few feet and sat down and crossed his legs, before forming the tora hand sign, to meditate, eye's closed
After a few minute's to clear his mind he pictures dripping water in front of him then one of the drops stopping, then expanding around him
He saw his hands start to break apart into water bubbles, and soon he was gone, but yet still aware of the sea around him, then fish, of all shapes colors and sizes began swimming around the area, he then saw a shining blue light beneath himself, and it rose up to him fast until it hit his non-existent form and everything went white
Naruto's real body stayed the way it was and a sphere of water rose up around him and sank into the water. Naruto opened his eye's and saw the same blue light floating ahead of him and he reached out and grabbed it, just then he rose from the water standing and he looked around "Weird" he said
wonder what to do now the boy walked towards shore, to grab the scroll, when the water ahead of him parted enough for the seabed to be stood on and he looked around, before stopping, the water dove under his feet and rose him up as the gap was filled
He grinned "cool" he for holding his hand out to sea and in visioning a whirlpool, in seconds water ahead of him began churning and spinning, before opening up a giant vortex of water, capable of swallowing some of the biggest ships
"Oh... yeah... this is the way to do" Naruto nodded to himself before risng his hand up and the whirlpool shot up and became a hurricane funnel of pure raging water
He swiped his other hand side ways, and the spinning water column was sliced in half and the upper half became its own water funnel along with the other half, making two
He directed the two with his hands to spread apart then he swung his arms in, and the two typhoons collided exploded in a huge burst of water
Naruto's smile was beyond big... Hell, it was beyond the Grinch, he jumped up and kicked his heels together before plummeting into the water... which seconds later pushed him back up with a small geyser, for air
"I'm going to love this" Naruto beamed
TO BE CONTINUED...
