Born to Be: Chapter 4: A hero's return
(3 years after wave incident)
Kakashi hatake and kurenai stood in front of the Godaime Hokage, Tsunade Senju, she looked overly excited, for today was the day konoha's hidden hero would return to compete in the Chunin exams.
Kakashi was pondering over the things that occurred in the past years, and he had to say, they were unexpected.
Flash back (3 years in Wave)
"SHINRA TENSEI" As naruto's voiced boomed the konoha ninja, carrying their terrified client, had scattered to avoid the power of impending doom that was released. They all jumped backwards as far as they could, tree's, rocks, land, everything exploded being pushed away from the hovering blonde.
As the wave of debris hit the ninja they were blown to the ground, they noticed that the jutsu didn't actually hit them, just everything around them.
a certain sharingan wielding jonin was ducking and dodging the debris that was flying at him, he noticed a large tree that was heading towards a frozen sakura, he launched himself in front of the tree, added chakra to his body he braced to take the blow for his student.
Right before the large tree made contact with kakashi it simply hit some sort of barrier around him and flew past him, the konoha ninja then noticed that none of them were being hit with debris, it would simply hit an invisible barrier and speed off into the distance.
They looked towards the source of the powerful jutsu that was obliterating everything around them. They saw red blue and purple tendrils slashing around naruto as he slowly raised higher into the air, the jutsu increasing in power as he did, constant waves of gravity blasting outwards for miles. after a few minutes of this naruto slowly descended back to the ground, the tendrils of chakra dissipated.
Naruto stood, his upper body was exposed because of the force of his gravity jutsu, when you looked closer you could tell that naruto was no longer the same, he was at least 4 inches taller, his blonde red had a single red grouping of strands, they fell down in front of his face. His muscle tone and mass had increased by alot, he looked much more mature and well defined, his jaw was more angular and his whisker marks were darker.
Naruto looked over at the konoha genin, then he slowly fell forward, landing on his hands in knees he puked up a large amount of blood, this caused kurenai to rush to his aid, and kakashi followed closely behind, his sharingan now covered as he had used 2 much chakra using it already.
Flashback END
Right on time a 2 figures approached the front gates of konoha,the one on the left wore a long black overcoat, it had the Uzumaki spiral on its back, the bottom of the coat swayed back and forth, under the coat the ninja wore an all grey / black anbu suit with an undone red / orange uzugakure (land hidden in the waterfall) jonin vest, said vest was unzipped, showing his fair skin covered by the anbu style armor. His spiky blonde hair bounced slightly as he walked calmly.
The ninja on the right was slightly taller than his counterpart, he wore mostly red and had long white hair, anyone who knew anything about konoha ninja would know that the man was the toad sage jiraya, one of the legendary sanin.
The larger older looking man spoke as they were around 5 minutes from the front gate "You ready to return gaki?".
"i don't know jiraya sensei, it's not like i specifically like it here, but i guess to honor my father i call restrict myself from killing them all.
Jiraiya sweat dropped at that, his student always had.. a... way with words, it wasn't that naruto overestimated his own powers, its that he couldn't estimate his own powers, they were simply so monstrous that he hadn't been able to find an opponent of his caliber in a long time. So really naruto didn't even really know how strong he was, nor did jiraya, sure jiraya could stand up to him in taijutsu, but if naruto used chakra it was basically over instantly.
Naruto mused about the last time he had been a ninja of the village that was in front of him...
Flashback, 3 years ago with naruto, in Wave
Naruto smirked under his mask at the flustered Zabuza who had just watched him suck out the chakra of his jutsu. 'what an idiot, he's so pissed'
'Naruto, there is a problem, i think you're about to consume the fifth tale'
Naruto's attention was pulled away from his thoughts of the jonin level ninja in front of him and replied to kyuubi with a thought 'WHAT, here? what the fuck is going to happen, you said the last tail would be the worst out of all of them'.
'Yes, you are about to experience the memories of everyone I've ever killed, thousands of years are going to flash through your eyes, but after you will have successfully become the first person since the sage of six paths to hold more chakra than me, remember when this happens and our chakra merges completely you are going to be a half demon, you will have to relearn chakra control completely because youki is different from chakra, and yours will be a permanent mix, not that it will be hard for you because of those damn eyes'.
Images started flashing in naruto's mind, he could make them out perfectly, it was like watching a 3 hour movie of yourself killing people every 1/10th of a second, after 6 seconds naruto couldn't take anymore, he screamed "STOP', before blacking out.
Naruto re awoke he looked around, he was easily 15 feet in the air. He looked around to find his team and team kakashi both staring at him, realizing he didn't know where he was he looked around again, everything in a 5 mile radius was flattened, he was in the center of a massive crater, barren ground as far as his eyes could see. 'What happened naruto looked to his only real friend to help him understand what was happening,
'you did this kit, apparently activating youki with the rinnengan increases its power ten fold, this must be how the sage, my father, sealed off the juubi(ten tails), my mother, into the moon before separating her power to all of my brothers and sisters. Amazing, youki channeled through the Deva path seems to be more powerful then anything I've ever seen."
'Wow, i can't believe i did this, how did my team and kakashi's team survive?'
"You used shields subconsciously well using shinra tensei to protect them, i didn't think you could use your gravity manipulation to such a degree, truly amazing".
Flashback END
As the two figures approached the gate Jiraya also mused about the past.
Flashback, 3 years ago, Jiraya, in Wave.
Jiraya was in wave doing research, but he was now walking back towards konoha to stop by before heading off to suna, he had some information on some organization that had been formed, their intentions were unknown, but he thought orochimaru might be apart of it, so he was going to stop off at his sensei's office to relay the information.
As the toad sage walked at a casual pace towards konoha, he was stopped by an unbearable amount of power coming just around ten miles infront of him. He was instantly reminded of 12 years prior on October tenth, the kyuubi attack, realizing his godson may be in danger he took off at full speed towards the source of chakra, as he arrived around 5 miles from his target, the power source stopped emitting the foul chakra, but what jiraya saw shocked him, there was a 5 mile radius crater around the source of the power, everything was destroyed, he stopped playing around and flooded chakra into a body flicker (shushin), moving almost instantly to the center of the destruction, he came just in time to watch a blonde boy, that looked like a replica of the yondaime, puke up a heap of blood, seeing konoha ninja there about to help him, he decided to take matters into his own hands, he jumped off in front of naruto.
"Sorry, hatake kakashi, and kurenai is it?" getting a nod jiraya continued, "i will be looking after naruto from now on, i will send a report to the hokage, please carry on with your mission"
Hearing the words mission kakashi realized something, where was Zabuza? He looked to where Zabuza was held in place previously, there laid the corpse of the once great member of the 7 swordsman, Zabuza the demon of the mist, laying infront of him seemed to by a girl that had tried to stand infront of the jutsu and save him. Though it was not effective, as she was also a flattened blood covered corpse. Both of there insides were complete mush.
1 day later
Jiraya was still contemplating what to do with naruto, he had passed out from the strain on his body, when jiraya tried to check the seal, but it would not appear, no matter what he tried.
When naruto awoke he looked over the toad sanin, after a long talk naruto accepted a training offer from the white haired sage. jiraya paled at the fact that he was now training another child with the famed rinnengan.
1 week later.
Jiraya hopped into the window cell of the konoha hokage tower, he handed the hokage a noted and dashed off.
Flashback END
Tsunade looked over the note that had been passed down to her when she became the hokage. She had read said note at least one hundred times over the last few years, it was jiraya's trademark writing, considering he was an author, and a fuinjutsu expert, his writing was flawless, the letter read
'Sensei.
I am with naruto, his father would be proud, I have been training him, though there's not much i can teach him that he doesn't already know.
He has unlocked the fabled eyes of the sage, and he has complete control over his biju, i will team him what his father wanted to, we will return when we are needed, be safe, and wait for the return of the child of prophecy, the one man to change this world, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.
Sincerely: Jiraya, the great toad sage.
Ps: Next book will be out soon ;)
Tsunade huffed at the last bit, her sensei and teammate were always perverts, but then again, her other teammate was a pedophile and she was a gambling drunk. The blonde hokage sipped another cup of sake and sighed, she couldn't wait to see her only living descendant, Naruto.
Right on time she heard a thud behind her, before she could turn to see her old teammate, a black hole appeared on the ground infront of her, a ninja slowly rose from the void warp hole, his face in a permanent smirk, he learned from jiraya how to make an entrance, and he had to see, he loved it. The blonde shinobi winked at the hokage infront of him, his smirk growing into a smile, "The great Naruto Uzumaki returns!"
