THE BLOOD ANGEL
CHAPTER 19: GUARDIANS
NOTE: well okay people whom I've never met, as you can see the girls get little guardians. Though I only recently got the idea from a friend and mixed it up a little I've set it to where they play big roles in this fic so... SUCK ON THAT BEASTMASTER!! eherm... on with the fic
"OH MY GOD!! It's so kawaii!!" Hinata squeeled as she ran up to the rabbit and latched her arms around him
"I'm not 'kawaii'..." the rabbit said crossing his arm(his front legs to be technical) "I'm masculine and foreboding-" at that very second Hinata squeezed him tightly as she hugged him "squeezing me to death!!" the rabbit said in a strained and gasped breath with a high pitch, as she crushed him
Hinata gasped and let him go, the poor rabbit then--like some sort of putty--melted to the ground before exhaling a sigh "good lord... not even the coyote squeezes that hard" he said
The rabbit then heard laughing and turned to see the coyote and tiger laughing as they fell to the ground "Shut up" the rabbit pouted
"Naruto... whats with the traveling zoo?" Temari chuckled
"We are spirit beasts... in all aspect granted a second life by this boy's Shintengan" The falcon said "In return we have to protect you and apparently learn to get along with each other"
"with 'each other' I take you mean you animals don't get along?" Tenten asked
"Not in the slightest" The coyote said
"So what do you girls say? Mind helping teach these idiots what team work and camaraderie is?" Naruto said "I can tell you why and how this happened"
"Please do" Sakura said crossing her arms... to say the least this was a shocker
Outside Tazuna's home, a man in a black cloak stood on the branch of a tree. the only part of his face one could see was his mouth, Other then that his hood covered is face
"the Shintengan huh?" he grinned "haven't seen that in a couple hundred years" he chuckled before looking up at the sky "It seems the time for the great war has come..."
Two more cloaked figures appeared next to the first
"Grei... Orin... it's time we seek out the lord of this word..." the first said
"Finally" the figure on the left said
"Yes... the war begins here and now" the third said
"It's time we found... The Blood Angel..."
"Cerberus... you sensed his presence far to the north did you not?" the one on the right asked
"Of course" the middle figure said "He or she has already made their move... the child of Ketsuro's power is incredibly high" the middle said just before the one on the left snapped his fingers and a sphere of reddish black energy consumed the three of them and shrank down and disappeared, taking them with it
--Back in Iwa Daignmone ran through the streets slashing his way through the shinobi before appearing in front of one and grabbing his neck; draining his body of all fluids before dropping his dried and withered corpse to the ground
three ANBU landed in front of him and formed hand signs "I don't know what you are but you AREN'T going any further!" one shouted and they all finished their hand signs before a giant wave of dirt and rock ripped from the ground and surged towards Daignmone who wrapped his wings around himself as the attack blasted into him
The tidal wave of earth faded and in the middle stood a still in tact Daignmone who opened his wings
"Impressive... the only problem is it was useless against me" he chuckled
"Teme(1)..." one ANBU said
"You three are strong... I could make you stronger... once this village is under my control... you'll have the option of death or loyalty... Until then business beckons" Daignmone saluted before disappearing in a blur
"Where did he go?!" one ANBU said
"I can't sence him any more" another said
Daignmone appeared on top of the central building and blood floated from his hand and was powered by his energy forming his sword which he flipped into reverse and stabbed into the roof just before looking up to see his fortress tearing a sloth of destruction behind it as it loomed over the village blasting its red lightning apon the buildings
"meheheheheh... with that, no military power can stop us... compensation for small numbers" he chucked before blasting lightning down the length of his bat wing like sword into the roof blasting, a hole which he dropped through and floated down to his feet
He looked around
"So you're the one behind all of this" he heard as the door to the room opened and in walked the Tsuchikage
"I would assume by your garments you're the leader..." Daignmone said
"obviously. I'm the Tsuchikage, head of Iwagakure... and the one that will kill you here and now" he said
"you'd do wise to not underestimate me... everyone who has, died in the process" Daignmone said
"I could say the same" the Tsuchikage said before taking off his hat and pulling his robe off revealing black brown and dark green shinobi wear and a vest
His black hair went down to his shoulders, and his eyes were stern and un-fazed "would you mind if we took this out side... I kind of like the building in tact" he said
"Fine with me" Daignmone said before flapping his wings and lifting off the floor "I would like this building in tact too once I've taken over your village and made it part of my alliance" he said before flying out of the whole he made in the roof
The Tsuchikage walked over to the window and jumped out to the ground below where Daignmone floated down to "Shall we begin?" the blood angel asked
"yes... we may" he replied entering his stance
Daignmone held his blade up and licked the side of it "This village is mine" he said before they dashed at each other
--Back in konoha
Tsunade, Yugito and Minato sat in Tsunade's office
"I can't believe he managed to take down cloud with that much ease..." Tsunade said
"It helps with a giant flying fortress of death" Minato said "I shouldn't have underestimated him"
"No you shouldn't have" Tsunade said angrily
"He claimed to be the ancient boogyman for the love of god" Minato defended "what did you expect me to do?"
"He had huge angel wings of pure blood... it think that's proof enough!" Tsunade said
"Damn, you are REALLY pissed at me aren't you?" Minato asked
"OF COURSE I AM!!" Tsunade yelled "I have a few good reasons to be too"
"Touche" Minato said
They heard a knock at the door and Tsunade looked up at it "Come in" she said
The door opened and Neji walked in "I hope I'm not disturbing any one, but I found all the people I want to take on that mission" he said
"That's fine... " Tsunade said
Neji looked at the two on the couch and then back to Tsunade before he made a double check and looked back at Minato "Why do you look so familiar?" he asked
"Use your Byakugan and look at the mountain behind the central building"
Neji did just that and saw through he building walls towards the mountain and looked over the faces of the Hokage monument and his eye's widened at the face just before Tsunade's
Neji whipped his head back to Minato "You're the fourth Hokage?!" he asked "But... you died killing the Kyuubi... well sealing it into Naruto at least"
"It's a long story and I'll tell you later but who did you choose for your mission?" Tsunade said
"Look out the window, we're all ready to go" Neji said
Tsunade turned around and peered out her window and looked down towards the ground where she saw Shino, Kiba, Akamaru(and all the giant glory that he is now), Shikamaru with a serious yet bored look, and Chouji
"We're missing allot" Tsunade said
"Lee and Gai are dead, all the women are with Naruto in the land of the wave, and I also wanted to ask if We could have Shizune on this mission for any needed medical attention" Neji said
"All right, I'll assign her to the mission, and I'm also sending Kakashi and Jaraiya with you" Tsunade said
"Um... I think it would be wise to have Jiraiya sensei stay here" Minato said
"Why? so you two can go gawk at the naked women in the bath or spa?" Tsunade asked
"No! Because he's a strong asset and Daignmone can't be to far from attacking this village" Minato said
"true... but if his patterns are the way I think they are he's going to pick off all the other villages first... besides we can call in reinforcements from Suna" Tsunade said
"What ever you say" Minato shrugged
"That's right, what ever I say... you're not the Hokage anymore... some how you became Raikage though" Tsunade said
Minato dropped his face into his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose "She's not gonna forgive me any time soon" he said
"Nope" Yugito said "she's pissed"
--Back with Naruto and his ladies
Hinata held the rabbit in her arms and ran her hand from the top of his head down his back
"ooohhh yeah... this feels good" the rabbit cooed
"Can I have this one?" Hinata asked
"you can have me all you want babe" the rabbit said "so long as you keep this up"
"look at the rat... he's putty in the human girls hands" The coyote said "pathetic" he said
"pathetic huh?' Sakura said "lets see how well you resist it" she said before scratching behind his ear
"Arrghh cheap shot, cheap shot!" he said as he leaned his head into it and started kicking his rear left leg "but it feels so good" he nearly drooled
"HAH! you ain't so much better" the rabbit chuckled
Sakura stopped "there now you can't give the rabbit shit for enjoying the attention"
"We were wild animals and you expect us to just be tame?" the cotoye said "its awkward being through that transition"
"Well ladies I think i know the best combinations for you all" Naruto said
"Hinata you can have the rabbit, I think that's the most appropriate for you. Sakura-chan, I think the coyote would be best for you" he said "now before you feel insulted coyote's are smart, cunning, and dangerous when in the right situation, they can also fend for themselves"
"good because I was thinking you meant I was a mangy mutt" Sakura said
"Whats that supposed to mean?" The coyote barked before looking back at Naruto "I'm sorry I refuse to work with a person like that" he said
"to bad because my order to you is to protect her" Naruto said, he then turned to the falcon resting on his shoulder "I think this little guy here should go to Temari... Free spirited, smart and elegant... not to mention a bird is most suited for a wind user"
"Very well" the falcon said and he flew over to Temari and landed on her shoulder "I'll protect her with my life"
"no offence, but what could you do to protect me?" Temari asked
"I'll share your power and show you what I can do when the time comes" The falcon said
"Yep Spirit beasts are way stronger then normal beasts" Naruto said
"so which one of the two felines do I get?" Ino asked
"I think you're more like a tiger then a panther" Naruto said
"Agreed" Tenten said
"so that means Tenten has the panther and Ino gets the tiger" Naruto said
The pather walked up to Tenten "You're tenten?" she asked and received a nod "then I'll protect you the best I can" she said before sitting down next to Tenten
Ino watched the Tiger walk up "okay, I hope we don't have any problems" she said
"Yeah... me too" Ino chuckled
"then it's settled" Naruto said "these are your guardians... you should give them names so we don't call them 'the rabbit' or 'the panther'..."
"I'll call you Usagi" Hinata said "Do mind that?" she asked the rabbit
"Call me whatever you like, sweetheart" the rabbit said
"okay, Usagi it is"
"Call me Oboro" the Coyote said
"I'll call you Masuki if you don't mind" Temari said to the falcon
"Not in the slightest" the Falcon replied
"What do you want to be called?" Ino asked the tiger
"as long as it's not Tora(2)" the tiger said "it defeats the purpose of the name"
"I got one... Toshiko?" Ino suggested
"Works for me" the tiger said
"and now you" Tenten said turning to the panther "anything you want to be called?"
"uuuhhh... nope, anything works" she said
"Okay...Bakeneko" Ino said
"Isn't that a bit uninspired?" Temari asked
"It refers to the spiritual cats that are said to haunt, people, and reanimate the dead and bring misfortune, walk on two legs, create ghostly fire and shape-shift to that of a human"
"I don't mind being called that... if it works for you do it" The panther said "and the shape shifting thing works because us spirit beasts can enter your souls and come out when needed or wanted, and you can go into our souls"
"alright... I will" Tenten said
"okay, Usagi, Oboro, Toshiko, Masuki, and Nekomata" Naruto said "Well I think I'm going to go train once I grab the Shintengan and Uzumaki scrolls" he said "you guys get to know each other" he said before walking up the stairs
"Alright" they all replied
"boy are Tsunami and Tazuna gonna want an explanation" Sakura chuckled
Naruto walked into the room and up to the desk he had the scrolls rolled up, he picked them up but then the ringing and his head came back and the head ache began again
"arrgh" he grunted dropping the scrolls "Dammit... not again" he dropped to his knee's and leaned against the desk holding his head gritting his teeth
"Damn... why is this happening...? Two times in one day... whats going on with me?!" he growled "Why does it hurt so much?"
"Kit... you need to go back to that Tsubasa woman... she has to know something about this pain" Kyuubi grunted through his own pain
"I'll go back later tonight... maybe then she can tell me" Naruto replied still fighting back the immense pain coursing though him as his arm began to hurt like before only a bit worse this time
--Later that night, after they explained the animals to Tazuna and Tsunami, and the girls were out back getting to know the animals in a better and open environment.
Naruto walked out the back door into the yard "Hey girls... I'm gonna go for a walk, alright" he said
"okay see ya when you get back" they said
He waved and walked down the darkening path heading towards the tree that had the portal to the celestial plain
After a short walk he activated his Shintengan and looked for the tree, which didn't take long. He walked up to the portal and stepped through
He walked through and into the celestial plain before looking around "Um Tsubasa-baasama!' he yelled
It took a few seconds but he heard her voice "Naruto? back already?" she asked before appearing in front of him
"Yeah... I need help" Naruto said
"With what? Are the animals giving you problems already?" she asked with a chuckled
"No...you remember how I mentioned that strange pain earlier today?" he asked
"Yes... what about it?"
"Well I had a theory it was just being close to this portal but it's not... it happened again earlier tonight, only stronger. It has to be my Shintengan" he said
"Well I know nothing of this... you could ask my brother... he's here in the celestial plain" Tsubasa said
"Okay... can you take me to him?" Naruto asked
"Yes..." tsubasa said with a nod before putting her hand on his shoulder and they were consumed by light which blinded Naruto. Th light fade and he was in a different part of the world
Next to them sat a man who was leaning on the tree, his spirit was blue. He turned to them and saw Tsubasa "Hey sis... who's the little guy?" he asked "He has to know the Shintengan, or else I'd see just a spirit"
"He's your great great great great great great great great grandson" Tsubasa said
"Really?" the guy said with peeked interest
"Yes, and he's been having a problem I think you might know seeing how you know more about the shintengan than me" Tsubasa said
"what's yer question?" the guy said
"Do you knowing anything about a massive headache, burning and pulsing eye's and intense unexplainable pain in one or both of the arms?"
the guy's face went blank "what the fuck fuck are you talking about? I don't know wnything about that... the shintengan's never done that as far as I know"
"Damn it!" Naruto cursed
The guy activate his own shintengan and looked over Naruto "You're spirit is part demonic... a demons in side of you isn't it?" he asked
"yeah, the Kyuubi no Youko" Naruto said
"whoa... that's your problem right there..." he said
"No... because Kyuubi even feels the pain I do..." Naruto said
"I can under stand the holy half of the shintengans energy would hurt the demonic Kyuubi but the Hels's half of the Shintengan should nullify that out..." he was scratching his chin now
"So you don't know anything?" Naruto asked dropping his shouders
"Nope... sorry kid... I've never seen something like this before... I'll look into it, come back in a day or two okay?" the guy said
"Okay... by the way whats your name?" Naruto asked
"Hiro" he said "Namikaze Hiro"
"Well I should leave and get back before my friends worry" Naruto said before turning to Tsubasa "Ready Obaa-sama" he said
"alright" she replied before putting her hand on his shoulder and they vanished in a quick flash of light before returning to right in front of the portal to the mortal realm
"I'm sorry you couldn't find anything out about it" Tsubasa said
"It's okay... I'll figure it out" he said before hugging her and walking through the portal to the physical plain
"Okay Kit! I've been silent enough about this but everytime we go in there it feels like I'm being crushed under 700 times the normal gravity" Kyuubi Spat
"that's because Tsubasa said demonic spirits aren't allowed there... but since you in side me, who's a normal spirit and a Shintengan holder, when I go in there you're suppressed by the holy energies with a compromise" Naruto shrugged as he began his walk home
--Back in Iwagakure, Daignmone and the Tsuchikage's battle was still going on, even though just about the rest of the village had fallen to the cloud shinobi and the Demon generals Daignmone brought.
The Tsuchikage formed a quick flurry of hand signs and huge spikes of rock shot out across the ground in a trail that went straight for Daignmone, who extended his wings abroad "Sonic Zephyr!" he yelled before flapping his wings towards the the in coming rock stalagmites, creatign a massive burst of wind that was accompanied by the sonic boom
The wind thrashed through the rock tearing it apart and deflecting the attack
"Kuso" the Tsuchikage growled before he saw Daignmone blast a red lightning bolt from his hand. He reacted by bringing up a mud wall and sinking into the ground behind it as the lightning hit it and a few seconds later ripped through
the mud wall crumbled and Daignmone looked around, before jumping into the air a s large rock arms and hands came from the ground and tried to grab him. After evading the first one the second shot out of the ground behind him and he flipped in the air to recover before blasting a lightning bolt through the rock hand destroying it
A third rock hand shot up from under Daignmone at high speeds and grabbed him. The hand was so big you could only see his feet coming out one end before the hand pulled him into the ground and they vanished
Silence... not a sound was heard for a full minute before the ground began shaking and thunderous smashing noises were heard as the area Daignmone was pulled into began receive several small craters from the force of the battle under ground
The earth and rock began to crack as the craters and bangs grew more powerful. Fissures tore out through the village street as the quakes grew stronger
Then suddenly it stopped, the noise the shaking the cracking and destruction stopped. The few ninja near by saw red light shoot up from the ground where Daignmone was pulled in and in a blast of energy and red lightning Daignmone ripped from the ground and floated in the air... In his right hand he held the Tsuchikage by the back of his vest... his body withered and dried to the bone
The Blood angel threw the Tsuchikage's body to the side and when it hit the ground it broke and shattered into dust leaving nearly nothing left of his body as the dust blew away in the wind
Daignmone turned to the remaining ninja and grinned "Now... for my proposition"
Just then a reddish black sphere of energy appeared in front of him and he raised an eyebrow, before the sphere vanished and three figures in black cloaks stood before him
"Congratulations my lord" the one in the middle said
"We watched your fight , and though you held back, you're power is exponential" the one on Daignmones right said
"You're on the path to global domination now... just as our father; Ketsuro" the one on the left said
Daignmone began to chuckled "I know demon blood when I sense it... I know who you three are... the three pure blood demons that worked for my father... it seems you avoided being pulled into the demon realm" he said
"exactly... so you should know our names then?" the one in the middle
"But of course..." Daignmone said "According you the power you posses..." he said pointing to the one on the left "Grei, the shifter" then pointing to the one on the right "Orin the phantom" then to the one in the middle "Cerberus the guardian of hell" he grinned
TO BE CONTINUED...
Well sorry it took so long my fans, as you can see the scene changes are different because Fanfiction decided they were gonna be jackasses and wont let me do that anymore to the documents or even keep it from word works
(1)Teme- Translates to 'Bastard'
(2)Tora- most of you know that this translates to 'tiger' literally
