START CHAPTER
"Ah, Naruto-kun. Why have you come to visit me?" the strongest man in the village, the Hokage, looked inquisitive but smiled at the young boy in front of him. Naruto was secretly the elderly man's favorite person out of the entire town he basically ruled over. Secretly was because of the idiotic citizens, they would form a lynch mob for him and the child if any word got out that the leader favored the Demon Brat.
Naruto inwardly winced at the kind tone. He did not like to deceive the closest person he ever had for a family, "Ano -um- ojii-san -old-man?"
"Aa, always so informal Naruto-kun!" Sandamine joked, hiding his worry about the small ninja in front of him for usually the boy never stumbled over his words, "But why are you here? Usually you would be scarfing down bowl after bowl of ramen at Ichiraku. Don't tell me you have finally ate out all of their stock?"
"NO!" the boy shouted out in honest shock and horror before he reminded himself what had to be done, "Ojii-san, I'm really sorry but, ORIKE-NO-JUTSU!"
A POOF of smoke appeared out of nowhere again. This time, instead of a feminized Iruka-sensei, a nude blond young woman emerged from the smoke. She pouted cutely at the old man while bending over to give a "interesting" view on her breasts and drew out seductively, "Hoookaaage-sama…mmmm."
The perverted elder took one look at his secret fantasy and his nose erupted into a fountain of blood. He tried to cover it up with both of his hands, to make it stop bleeding, to do anything; the blood loss was too much. The hokage fell into a dead faint onto the ground, twitching every now and then.
Just to make sure the strong man was out of commission, Naruto poked him with a stick he drew out of thin air.
The god trapped within Naruto twitched in the back of his mind, I should have know they'll do something perverted, and it's all because of the damned perverted fox...don't kill them, don't kill them, don't kill them, don't-
Kami's fellow captive merely smirked at their jailer, Nice job Naruto-kun, you only messed up on the boob size. Personally I don't like doing elders, lack of stanima and all that, but let's imagine all the tricks he could have picked up in his zenith era!
GAH!!! DON'T KILL THEM AND DON'T LISTEN TO THEM!
Naruto ignored them both as he dug through the wooden cabinets. He tossed out scroll after scroll, creating a huge mess that would be hell to clean up afterwards. Also, he "by complete accident" knocked down a couple of drawers, and papers flew everywhere. The boy conveniently tore through all the paperwork. It was just to save the grandfather he had betrayed a little of the "work from hell." (To quote the Hokage.)
"Where is it? He just showed it to me just a few days ago!" Naruto mumbled out loud to himself before he paused and slapped his forehead, "Jeez, I'm stupid! KAI!-release!"
A sharp fluctuation of charka swelled in the boy and then was released into the room, ripping apart the genjutsu settled over the room. Lying innocently in the middle of the room was the scroll, marked by the kanji, "forbidden." Naruto muttered sullenly at the scroll and himself, before giving the scroll one satisfying kick. He then unceremoniously strapped it on his back.
Kami was still whimpering/whining to himself about 'he wasn't supposed to kill his host or fellow roommate even though the world would probably thank the heavens and make him king if the two were unable to scream the dead awake anymore.' Kyuubi was egging the God on by making very perverted remarks about Naruto and almost all the men in the village every time Kami took a breath and caused him to resume his rant with even more vigor.
Naruto pause to grip his head, trying to prevent the headache brewing, Will you both please shut up before I get a migraine! I've got to keep my wits about me with the unknown factor in Mizuki-creepo. The boy didn't wait for any retorts but pumped charka into his legs to run at inhuman speed to the outskirts of the Forest of the Death, though the village thought it was a different forest all together.
Kami resorted to mumbling under his breath, the main word to overhear that one would understand was "pervert," but Kyuubi scowled at his container and frankly the closest friend he had ever had, How dare you! I am Kyuubi, the Nine-Tailed fox, the most powerful of all youkai- demons! Many have died beneath my paw for lesser offences then I have endured at your hand! Why shouldn't I kill you once I have the chance?!
Because you actually do love me and literally can't live without me, Naruto remarked rather blandly, Besides, at least I said please.
Kyuubi merely snarled in answer at the boy before curling up in the back of the boy's mind for a long nap, clearly dismissing the argument. Kami also flopped down next to the demon, his head on the other prisoner's curved back. Naruto ignored them both in order to focus on the scroll. Unrolling the scroll with a flourish, he frowned as he focused on the kanji explaining the first forbidden jutsu.
Naruto read quietly to himself, taking great precaution NOT to wake the supreme beings slumbering inside him…which sounded completely wrong by the way…This jutsu is strictly forbidden in the use of shinobi training as it's chaka is…blah blah blah…solid clone…it can do it's own jutsus…usually shinobi only have enough charka to create one therefore it's completely…gathers information…bunch of useless jargon…hmmmmmm. Naruto stuck up his fist into the air, "Yosh! I can do this! Doesn't look too hard!"
You know you look completely insane when you do that, an amused voice came from behind the boy. Naruto, already having recognized the scent scoffed at the voice and turned back around to the scroll, Hey! Don't ignore me!
Shut up Blur, the wolf's god grumbled at him, trying to focus on the forbidden scroll. The aged wolf trotted up next to the boy, sitting back on his hunches. A tongue lolled out of his mouth as he look over Naruto's shoulder. Blur! Stop it! You know I can't concentrate when you do that!
Blur winced back at Naruto's harsh tone, Gomen-nasi, sorry, Naruto-sama, master, he mumbled with his ears laid back to his skull, revealing the tattered ear Naruto destroyed when he was young.
Naruto winced at the reminder he had nearly killed his friend and shook his head, I'm really sorry, Blur. I didn't mean to snap...And stop calling me Sama! It makes me feel old!
A mischievous look entered Blur's dark brown eyes, Gomen, sorry, Naruto-tono, lord. He released a wolfish cackle at Naruto's actual shudder at the title, However, on a serious note, Flicker wants, as I quote, "Really really want to know when kami-dude's coming back because it's soooo boring without him and I need to show him my magic trick, you know with my tail and the acorn and I hide it-"
Stop, Naruto commanded (but actually pleaded), You imitate him too well. You're giving me a headache. The young shinobi looked down at the troublesome scroll and sighed, I really need to finish this, for the humans. Can you please distract him until I complete the task?
The wolf laid down, his head on his paws, and look up to the human with a big wolfish grin, I was sent out to look for you. Ashfur and Gene are already distracting him. Big, tall, and stupid is lumbering around somewhere.
Don't call him that, Naruto reprimanded absentmindedly as he started to read the hand seals on the jutsu.
The young master had collected more faithful friends, plant and animal varity, in his years as Kami, but the ones who met him first remained the closest however old they were becoming. Flicker still chattered a mile a minute lovable but still annoying, Gene remained a arrogant intelligence, Ashfur is still the calm peacemaker, Bart was the under-the-radar smart, and Blur was a little more withdrawn but is arrogant and also reminded Naruto of someone he couldn't name. Despite their faults, they were still the best friends the boy could ever wish for.
Okay, first attempt. Naruto attempted the hand seals for the jutsu, shouting out, "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" A POW, and then came another spectacular display of fireworks. After blinking the smoke away from his eyes, Naruto glanced over at Blur.The wolf's paws were firmly planted over his ears, What I don't understand, he complained, Is why you humans need to scream while you are doing the Jutsu. It just gives away what you're planning, right?
Well, it's kind of like a recoil, Naruto explained slowly, as if going over the dilemma in his own mind, Such as you do when you stop suddenly, you let out a grunt and that's caused by muscles suddenly contracting. As the air is released, the muscles tense again, ready to move. But with charka, focusing on the name allows the focus of the charka to be solely on the jutsu and not all over the place. Control isn't perfect when you just shout the name so you have to have exercises to control them but shouting the name keeps it from going all over the place and allows recoil.
Blur flicked his tail in thought, However, your clones exploded because you use too much charka, right? So why do you need that large of a recoil since you are supposed to not use as much charka as before?
…You're right, the boy said slowly as he mulled through the thought in his head, So, in theory, I shouldn't have as big of recoil if I put less charka in the jutsu in the first place! So I need to figure out how not to have so much charka used…
Naruto frowned to himself and bit his lip, trying to figure out how to use less charka in his Jutsu, Okay, second try…The boy did the hand seals for the Jutsu while trying to just slow his charka into a trickle. As soon as it was finished, he let out a grunt after whispering the jutsu name before he realized that was his recoil…Needless to say the Copies failed just as spectacularly as the first attempt did. Naruto tried his best not to scream in frustration, with his only comfort that most ninja's didn't get hard jutsus their first one-hundred tries…but Naruto was never really that patient.
Blur's paws were back over his ears and accompanied with a whine, Why do your human tricks always go 'boom?'
They 'pop' thank you very much, Naruto informed the wolf tartly while glancing down at the scroll again.
No, really, the wolf sat up again, satisfied no 'boom' was near, You usually scream something, it then goes boom, and then you scream louder at something the rest of us are unable to see.
The young Kami huffed at him, whiskered cheeks ballooning out chipmunk-style while he tried to hold his breath in order not to scream at his friend. The friend who will be a pelt on his wall if he stops smirking at him, dammit!
Evidently, Blur felt the hostility directed at him and backed away.
Naruto stopped glaring at him in order to repeat his mantra, the one he had invented when he met Flicker, I am not supposed to kill friends, no matter how annoying they may be.
The boy released the breath he was holding, Gomen-nasi Blur. I am calm again. I am really really sorry.
The wolf grinned wolfishly, dismissing the lapse in control, Whatever whelp, I could take you on, anytime anywhere.
Bring it on old uhm…wolf! Naruto bantered back with a small smile on his face.
With a tiny sigh, the smile slid off his face in favor for a frustrated glare at the stupid scroll. It was mocking him!
His hands raised in the seals, he snarled out not the traditional, "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" but a, "Damn it! Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" instead. Holding his fingers in a cross, he focus a very minuscule amount of charka and released it through the seal. With a puff of theatrical smoke all ninjas feel the need to have, another Naruto appeared! Both the boy and the wolf started in surprise and amazement of the doppelganger. Blur decided the best way to go about the magic trick was to whine, Great. There's two of them. I could barely survive with one!
Naruto ignored him in favor of cheering, Hell yeah! I knew I could do it! Go me! Go me! Believe it!
What the hell? a dazed voice in the back of his mind asked, awoken by his jail's yelling, When did the storm come in?
I knew I could do it! I totally perfected doing the Jutsu in three tries when most couldn't do it! I can do what no one else can! Fufufufufufufufufufufufufufu!
Stop it with the creepy laugh! Kami ordered, waking up himself, It is really freaky! And doing it once is not perfecting it, kit.
Whatever, the boy dismissed both of the assessments he earned, But I still did it!
Mortal, stop your thoughts so I can go back to sleep, Kyuubi ordered, muffled because he fell back on to the Kami, face down in his stomach.
Amazed, Naruto watched the Kami blush at the Demon, This ain't happening. No way! My parental figures do not hook up in front of me in my perfect world!
Kami turned even redder, as he pushed back his dark bangs, subtly checking to make sure Kyuubi was well off to dreamland, We are not "Hook up!" Kyuubi just deemed me a decent pillow, he mumbled.
Naruto shook his head, You are totally crushing on him! The boy's eyes went wide, You think he doesn't care about you? Don't worry, sooner or later he'll show his possessive side towards you sooner or later!
The boy tuned out Kami's slightly hopeful protests as he turned to the scroll again. Hmmm…It is rare that an average ninja can create one, whoo! I'm above average!, but it is even more unlikely on a shinobi able to create two, let alone more. However, if there is a chance the seals would have to include the extra seal of Ryo-dragon. Yosh! Let's do this thing!
Kami decided that he should forgo his protests to his heir's uninterested ears in favor of combing through the sleeping demon's red silky hair with his clawed figures, You will probably need the same amount of energy (Kami refused to call energy charka early on) it takes to help a flower grow.
Naruto rolled his eyes at both Kami and Blur, who decided it was necessary to mark his territory, Fine, fine. He raised his hands through the seals and exhaled slowly. With a more subtle puff, clones covered the clearing.Kuso, I'm not supposed to be able to create this many!
My guess is: you're way beyond average.
My brain is unable to take more of you. I think I'll die if this happens again, Blur commented blandly as he took in all the clones milling about.
Naruto muttered, Fine, I can take a hint, before yelling, "Kai-release!" With another theatrical poof of smoke, all the clones disappeared. Naruto sat down with a small sigh, Are you happy now?
Very, Blur gave a smirk to Naruto before ambling off in to the clear to settle down for an afternoon nap with the instructions, Don't do anything too nosy for an half an hour.
Yes Mom, Naruto mumbled. Blur heard him anyway and gave a good-natured growl before curling up. Naruto glared at the dozing wolf before turning back to the scroll with a sigh. He skimmed it again, just to see if their was any loopholes or catches that he was unaware of in the first read through.
Not finding any, the powerful ninja set to master the ninja jutsu. He practiced, sometimes creating one, sometimes more and twice set two to fight each other rather than him. Naruto sat to catch his breath, then sharply snapped his head up. The boy grabbed the scroll and set it on his back, his feet automatically spread out for better balance, to be ready to fight.
He's here.
"Aa, Naruto-kun. Did you complete the mission I asked of you?" sweetly asked Mizuki.
Kyuubi, wake up! Kami urgently shook the demon, Don't you want to see our kit kick mortal butt?
Kyuubi grumbled at him, Kit can kick mortal butt anytime anywhere, I can miss this. So stop moving, dammit!
Naruto ignored them both and raised to his feet, grinning widely at his teacher. Discreetly, he motioned a crouching Blur to stand down, "Hai, Mizuki-creep…I mean sensei! I beat the Hokage for it! Believe it!"
"Shhh," Mizuki-weirdo warned, "Part of the mission is for no one to hear you!"
Naruto nodded enthusiastically and made a shushing motion, holding up a finger to his smiling mouth. His other hand went up to the scroll, as if he was going to grab it and give it to the sleazy weirdo…
"No Naruto! Don't do it! Don't give it to him!" Iruka charged out of the trees, slightly panting, "Mizuki is a traitor to Konoha! Don't give the scroll to him!"
Yes! I knew Mizuki was a creepo! Naruto cheered to himself while keeping his outward façade looking shocked. Wait, that's a bad thing…
Gah, will you please shut up?! I'm trying to sleep here!
Well, sorrrry! I apologize greatly to the great Kyuubi-sama for interrupting his all-important nap while I'm BEING ATTACKED OUT HERE!
Kyuubi jerked up and started to indignantly mouth off at the boy. However, Naruto was distracted by Mizuki lunging at him. Jumping up and rolling out of the way, he barely missed the lethal kunai-daggers-that the ex-teacher stabbed at him.
"Naruto," Iruka bellowed, "Didn't you hear me?! RUN!"
Naruto muttered to himself as he jumped on a branch, "I really need to learn how to ignore the little voices in my head when someone attacks…"
I don't annoy you that much! It's mostly the demon's fault!
You will sorely regret that comment!
As the two commenced bickering, Naruto returned his attention to the ninja's fight.
Iruka was throwing shrunken-ninja stars-with deadly accuracy. With the boy's sharp sight, Naruto could see the weapons were glistening powerfully in the afternoon sunlight with the strong metal and fatal poison they were doused in. Mizuki had to do series of jumps and twists in midair in order not to get hit, but in doing so he was unable to fight back. However this trick wouldn't last long under the brutality of the shinobi's attacks. As realization dawned upon the traitor and he back flipped into the foliage in the direction he thought Naruto ran.
Iruka let out an undignified curse, not entirely fit for the teacher and followed him. Naruto echoed the curse under his breath and tried to follow them, leaping from branch to branch it squirrel fashion that Flicker had taught him years ago. He jumped upon a particularly slick branch and nearly slipped off. The branch whipped up and grabbed him around the waist before replacing him back on the safety of the forest ground. He took a moment to nod his head at the regal tree, "Arigato-thank you," then raced off in the direction the humans went.
When he arrived to the clearing, he saw Iruka fretting then going over to a tree, "Naruto-kun, I need to give me the scroll! I can defend it!"
Naruto, from behind the bushes, blinked in surprise as his own voice cried out, "Like HELL I would, Mizuki!"
Iruka poofed away to reveal the slightly shocked traitor, "How did you know I wasn't Iruka?"
"Because," the other Naruto smirked, "I'm not Naruto." Yet another theatrical poof a smoke (are you sensing a rut?) Iruka sat in front of the traitor.
Mizuki frowned at the chunnin before announcing to the general forest area with an evil snicker (though Kyuubi could do that even more evilly), "Do you know the reason everybody loathes you in Konoha, Naruto-kun?"
Iruka jumped and snarled, "Don't you dare tell him!"
"Now, now-" smirked Mizuki, "I do think you need to sit DOWN!" At that yell, he made hand seals, shouting out a sound vaguely familiar to stick or sit, but in a very different and hard to understand dialect. Iruka was forced to sit down, trapped as if he was glued to the ground.
Mizuki panted heavily with his arms still in the last seal of the jutsu, as if he had just ran several hundred laps around Konoha without stopping. Obviously the Jutsu took a lot out of him, leaving miniscule amount of charka left. He managed to say, "Everyone in Konoha hates you! They want you dead! They want you to be tortured severely, to the death! To be humiliated in front of them all!"
Although Iruka was glued down, his mouth was still flapping, "No! They don't hate you! Not everybody!"
"And do you want to know why?" smirked Mizuki.
"Don't you DARE tell him you--" (The rest of the sentence has been edited out because of the extreme use of unreasonable language)
Mizuki looked affronted for a moment at the course language but got back on track, "Naruto, you are monster! A demon! You killed so many people, it's a wonder that Kami hasn't struck you down already! Evil! Demon!"
Naruto couldn't resist rolling his eyes, even though the sharp words did hurt him. He knew a long time ago Kyuubi was in him (re: first chapter). What did they take him for- a dead last? Oh, wait, he was…but it wasn't really his fault! He had to pretend or else the citizens would actually accuse him of being Kyuubi! So what if he had ears, a tail, and red eyes? That was Kami's fault! He wasn't a furball!
I heard that!
A furball that had very good hearing evidently…Anyway, Iruka was flaming mad. Mad as in: angry enough to withdraw any moral guidelines and concerns because he was too damned mad! Struggling against invisible bonds, the teacher let loose another barage of dirty languge Naruto had honestly no idea that the seemingly prudish ninja knew. He ended the tirade with, "And you are totally wrong you twisted (edited out)! Naruto is no demon! He is a shinobi of Konoha and will protect it until the end! He is a better human than YOU'LL ever be you -- (edited out yet again) freak!"
"He is a monster," an evil smirk grew on the traitor's face, "After all, he is the cause your death!" A big-ass shrunken was pulled out of a hidden pocket. It was a monster, maybe six hand across while normal sized ones fit into your palm.
Naruto decided this would be a good time to intervene. He leaped out of the tree he was perched on before landing right beside his favorite teacher, "Gomen Iruka-sensei, but I can't let you see what's about to happen." With the side of his hand, the not-human chopped the back of Iruka's neck. The teacher's eyes rolled up to the back of his head and collapsed.
Mizuki looked shocked, speechless for a moment, "Why the hell did you do that demon!"
"I do want to keep some surprises up my sleeve," a grinning Naruto said, "I didn't want to worry about him. But I don't have to worry about you because the time I'm done with you, you won't be able to tell anyone what happened!" Lifting his head up to the sky, he howled, Blur!
I am here Kami-sama, growled the wolf as he leaped out of the bushes. At the sight of the beast, Mizuki let out a strangled sound that sounded extremely close to "Mommy" but Naruto wasn't too sure.
The young man looked down regally upon the scared traitor, "Iruka-sensei was correct. I'll protect Konoha and the forest untill my death!"
With an animalistic scream, Naruto invoked one of the more powerful talent that the Kami posessed. His spirit rose from his human body and shoved in to the wolf's. As the body collapsed, the wolf stumbled then raised his now red eyes upon the prey.
"Holy shit!" scremed Mizuki his legs propelling himself backwards as he tried to run the hell away.
Naruto's new muscles contracted to push himself in a powerful leap, bounding his way towards the terrified man. Before the traitor could go to far, the god was upon him all fur and teeth.
Canines dug into Mizuki's shoulder. As strangled scream wrenched out of the man's constricted throat as Naruto's jaws clamped down to crush the collar bone and rip out a chunk of flesh and muscle. Unfortunately, he missed any organs and only hit arteries that would give Mizuki enough time to get away.
Eyes dialated in pain and adrenaline pumping through his blood, Mizuki was barely able to shove off the vengeful wolf. The traitor fled through the undergrowth, his painful scream dying in the clearing.
His teeth stained with blood, Naruto smiled evilly. The hunt had begun.
Mizuki's breaths became ragged pants. He knew he was losing way too much blood and if he didn't get medical attention soon, it was very possible he could die. With the thought echoing in his head, Mizuki tried to move faster but the adrenaline was wearing off to leave him exhasted.
A demonic growl sounded in front of Mizuki. With his panic-stricken mind, the traitor imagined the eye, the red monster's eyes, to be moving closer to him. He raced in a different direction.
Naruto followed leisurely behind, making sure to keep the fool within his sight. Projecting his thoughts to the animals, the kami asked politely for the young cub of a fox to growl at the ape-like creature, except it was so much more stupid. Delighted to serve his god in anyway possible, the cub let out a weird sound that was closer to a squeak than a growl. But it did serve its' purpose and Mizuki freaked out.
Mizuki's eyesight started to swim before his eyes. He could feel his feet slowing to a stumble underneath him even as he urged them to go on. He tried to scream again as the wolf appeared again.
The boy with in the wolf snorted, Pathetic. With one final touch of pain and humiliation, Naruto ripped off the man's pride and joy and ability for children.
Though I do have to admit, that was one impressive scream.
I could hear it from inside your body!
In minutes, Naruto's body walked on the scene. With one eye a cool red and the other eye a rare shade of green, both Kami and Kyuubi viewed the destruction, Well, that was boring...but you better hurry back, Iruka's stirring.
Naruto shot up, Why didn't you say so sooner! He ripped himself out of his body and stuck himself in his own. Not really waiting for his senses to adjust being human again, he flashed his hands in seals with a whisper of, "Kage Bushin no Jutsu."
As the copies appeared in the forest, he directed, "You dozen, stay here with Blur and make sure he recovers! You in that group! Go to the animals! Make sure they weren't hurt! Half of you, go to town! Find anymore traitors! The rest, take the ningen- human -to Iruka with me! Move out!"
The group leaped across the clearing while the trees bent out the way for a clear path. The clones actually holding the unconsicous man kept "accidently" dropping him. Naruto made no move to stop him but instead smiled happily.
As they entered the clearing, Iruka's eye lids began to flutter. Then Naruto realized the deep shit he was in, Mizuki's still covered in blood! Oh kami what is Iruka going to say?!
Well...
It was retorical.
Naruto began the handseals to an impressive genjutsu-illusion. As soon as Iruka woke up, Mizuki was covered in bruises, not blood (and with his manhood in tact). Iruka, groggly from the unconsiousness, thought he was still dreaming or at least way out of it. It's not possible for the deadlast of the academy to create enough clones to cover the clearing, right?
But as Naruto yelled, "Kai!" and all the clones dispersed, Iruka had to face the facts, he wasn't dreaming and the dead-last, the demon, had saved him.
At that thought, the teacher made up his mind, "Naruto, come here."
Frowning the boy moved closer, kneeling close.
"Close your eyes."
Slightly startled, Naruto shut his eyes. He heard the slight rustle of cloth then something settling over his forehead, "Okay, you can open them now."
The first thing Naruto saw was the smiling face of Iruka. Then he took off the forehead protecter.
For a moment, Iruka could see a soft smile settle upon his student with his sky blue eyes reflecting the green of grass and the red of fire.
"I DID IT!" TAKE THAT SASUKE!
END CHAPTER
In the words of Naruto, "I DID IT!" yes!
review please! tell me what you think!
