Hello my loyal readers. I realize with the amount of updates I did within two weeks was pretty abnormal so I'm slowing them down for a bit. But anyways, I have a secondary issue that needs to be taken care of. I do stop motion on Youtube for transformers under the page Samsara Studios. I do have a few other characters available such as Kup, Bumblebee, Drift, Blaster, Grimwing, Lazerback and Primus that I need voice actors for. Just review this chapter with the name of the character you want if you're willing to try it.
There is also a timeskip of three years between this chapter and the last one. Naruto's training has grown, but he's been held back from missions and his team as well until the Sandaime determined that his training was finished which I believe it will be at the end of this chapter.
Chapter 5
Naruto was soundly sleeping in his bed, when all of a sudden, his eyes burst open and he flipped out of bed, flipping the mattress and growling as kunai embedded into the bedding. He kicked the mattress at the assailant and flipped backwards, touching a floorboard and activating a hidden seal. Clangs were heard all around the house as metal doors slid into place and started locking the house down. The assailant cursed as they didn't have an exit and decided to make one. They gathered fire chakra and with a mental shout of Katon: Goukakyo no Jutsu, expelled a large fireball from their mouth, one that scorched the entire room.
Naruto growled as he jumped through the window, rolling in a crouch and coming up, kunai in left hand and a ninjato in the right. The assailant dropped to the ground, drawing two kunai from a pouch on her waist. Naruto could tell she was female due to the slender frame and slight bulge of the chest and hips. The woman was clad in different shades and tints of brown with a brown and black animal styled mask over her face and only her eyes could be seen.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked, his eye moving about quickly, processing the information it could.
It'd been three years since Naruto's training started and even without the use of chakra, his progression was astounding. Ten years ago, he'd be able to avoid ANBU squads and the only two people who could catch him were the Hokage and Iruka-sensei. Now, no one could detect him unless he wanted them too. His once absymal taijutsu was upgraded to include styles from Konoha such as the Goken, the Hebiken and the Suiken. He had also found scrolls in the basement that was apparently turned into an armory. He had learned akido, Jujitsu and different sects of kung fu from them as well. Right now he was working on combining them into his own, destructive style.
But he couldn't afford to travel down memory lane right now as he had an intruder to deal with. He was pissed because this was supposed to be his week off as directed by the Sandaime Hokage. He would've relaxed and slept for most of the day, maybe went to go and see a movie or visit some friends that he hadn't seen in a while, but now that was out of the question.
He looked up, noticing it had appeared to be the middle of the night, the moon full and at the peak of it's ascent. He leaned his head to the left, dodging a punch from the woman. He responded with a quick knee to the stomach, doubling the woman over and elbowed her in the back.
She grunted and took a kunai, attempting to cut Naruto in the stomach. Naruto jumped backwards and she threw two kunai at the boy. With quick handsigns, the kunai multiplied themselves into twenty. Naruto growled as he drew a second ninjato and began blocking them. His arms were a blur, moving like Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins. The womans eye widened as Naruto kept getting closer, even faster than before. She took a third kunai out and threw it at Narut as he got close enough to see the wrinkles by her eyes. She aimed for his good eye, and Naruto dodged out of the way just before it hit her in the eye, the kunai cutting a few strands of hair. Naruto spun on his toes backwards, coming behind her.
He placed the blades to the front and back of her neck and started squeezing them together, drawing blood. He never noticed his eye turn red and gain a slit as his heart rate increased and anger rose. He growled and leaned forward, his mouth by her ear. As his senses increased, he could smell the sweat and fear rolling off of her. He chuckled, the sound turning evil and rolling off of his lips, making the womans fear worse.
In turn, she struggled and head butted Naruto in the head, hitting his nose. Naruto dropped a blade and stumbled backwards. In response, Naruto kicked the girl, sending her through the trees that made up part of the training ground on his property. He sensed her coming towards him quickly and began blocking the punches, kicks and knees that she threw at him. Naruto used the back of his hand in a Suiken kata and pushed two punches she aimed at his head to the sides. He then lunged forward, punching the woman in her stomach twice, spun on his heel and elbowed her in the ribs. He then proceeded use Goken and hit her with his forearm, sending her skidding back and clutching her ribs. Naruto raced forward and began using what he picked up from Hyuuga Hiashi in their training sessions when the man used Jyuuken. Instead of targetting her tenketsu, he aimed for the nerves in key points of her body, disabling her quickly, causing her to fall on her face.
Naruto grumbled as he walked into the house as he threw the woman on his shoulder, pressing a seal and the lockdowns disabled themselves. He blinked as he saw Tsunade, Jiraiya, Hiruzen and his senseis all battle ready, the Sandaime in his armor and Jiraiya all ready in sage mode. Naruto chuckled as she shook his head. He nodded to the Sandaime and smiled at Tsunade. Jiraiya waited for any reaction from him and stepped forward.
"Can you tell us what happened?" Jiraiya asked, fishing for information.
"I'll tell everyone but you Toad Sage," Naruto said, stepping past them all and walking towards a door that led to the basement.
Everyone followed, or attempted to in Jiraiya's case. When Jiraiya attempted to step past the threshold, Naruto pressed a seal that was on the door frame and Jiraiya slammed into a barrier, his face flattening to it comically. Jiraiya looked at Naruto, his eyes begging as his muffled voice came through the barrier.
"Aruto," he said. "Um uhn! Le e thru!" (Naruto. Come on! Let me through.)
Naruto shook his head walking down the stairs. He looked back at the Sandaime, noting the look of contemplation on her face.
"Naruto-kun," he asked, puffing on his pipe and grimacing as his son used the fire from it to light a ciagrette. "What do you plan on doing?"
Naruto looked back, his eye slightly slitting itself, making everyone wonder if he was regaining his chakra. "Use what I've learned to interrogate her. What else?"
Anko nodded, a sadist grin coming on her face. "Would you let me help Otouto?"
Naruto shook his head. "You all won't be alive forever. I gotta learn to do things on my own. But I may let you try if can't get her to talk."
Anko and Ibiki nodded and both stood to the side. Naruto led them through the basement, leading them past the doors that led to the armory, forge and training room. A few months after he inherited this house, he discovered this place was divided into rooms. In the armory, he also discovered long forgotten weapons called guns. They all looked brand new despite not being used for nearly 300+ years.
The forge looked like any other forge, with metal sitting in a corner and a furnace and anvil to a second spot. Molds and grindstones were around the room and racks were present to hold any blades he made and such. There were two blades missing from the rack, but that was because Naruto used them for practice as they were intended, but they were broken. But he turned and discovered a mantel, on which an old and worn uniform was placed. The color had faded from the mask to a rust like orange, but when he looked into the eyehole that was there. He also noticed that half the mask was black on the side of his missing eye. This made him giddy in a sense at that time, but he knew he hadn't earned the right to wear that mask yet. He'd have to be stronger first.
He shook his head, banishing the memories to the recesses of his mind. He couldn't travel down memory lane right now. He had a mission to accomplish. He threw the woman in a chair, slapping gravity seals on her wrists, ankles and nodded to Tsunade, who quickly did the handsigns for a Suiton jutsu and doused the woman with water, waking her from her slumber and making her look around frantically.
"Where am I?" she asked, gasping for breath as the cold had awoken her from a dream she was enjoying. She was back at home, with her husband and baby son and they were perfect. She'd just put her son to bed when her husband came up behind her and-
"You're in Konoha, more specifically the Namikaze mansion," Naruto growled under his breath, making her look at him. "Who are you and why did you invade my home woman?"
"I won't tell you shit Konoha-dog!" she yelled out.
Naruto looked at the others as his eye turned cold and everyone shivered slightly, remembering that look on Naruto's father when he was alive and was going into battle. He growled as he motioned to the Sannin, Hokage and his senseis.
"Everyone but Ibiki and Anko," he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Get. OUT!"
Asuma and Tsunade, being the most bull-headed of the group were attempting to argue, but when Naruto blurred by them and a cut appeared along their cheeks. They were surprised as Naruto had two kunai in his hands, both sporting a small amount of blood on the tip. The 15 year old turned, growling at them. They nodded and left, his senseis bowing and Hiruzen tipping his hat to his grandson.
Naruto nodded and looked at Ibiki and Anko. He held up a finger as he threw a seal tag at the woman, rendering her deaf until it was removed.
"What's the plan gaki?" Ibiki asked, looking at the former jinchuuriki.
"Since you guys are more adept at his, I'd like pointers on what to not do," Naruto said. "But I do have a way of possibly making her talk without injuring her at all."
Anko nodded, "Go on."
He took a seal tag out of his kunai pouch and held it up to her. "I plan on using two seals I invented. One is a augmentative seal. It's mainly used to augment pain during torture and interrogations and the seocnd is a truth seal. It makes everything they say the truth until it's removed. She can refuse to answer if she wants, but won't make much of a difference. It'll shock her nervous system if she does. Also, it needs chakra to activate it and I need the amount I have to live so could one of you do it for me?"
Anko nodded as she took the tag and slapped it on the girls forehead as Naruto removed the deafening seal. The woman began struggling, wondering why her limbs felt like they were being pressured into paste all most.
"What are you doing? Why couldn't I hear you?" she asked, curious, yet terrified, not that she'd let the Konoha ninja know.
"Ahh nothing," Anko said, her smirk unnerving the captive slightly. "Just gonna glean some information from you. I mean you attacked my Otouto/student in his bed no less and don't expect us to retaliate. You just best be glad you were on his property and he decided he'd take care of it rather than bringing all of Konoha into the matter."
The woman gulped as she saw the Jounin pull out a kunai and stab her in her hand. She took the seal that Naruto placed on her chest and added chakra to it, making the seal glow before it seeped into her skin. The woman screamed as her nerves went haywire making the pain feel like she'd just lost her entire arm.
Anko chuckled gleefully as she put the truth tag on her and nodded to Naruto. The woman grit her teeth at the pain and looked at the boy.
"What do you want kid?" she asked.
"I'll be asking the questions and you'll tell me what I want to know," he stated, his eye staring through hers and boring into her soul. "If not, my associates here will wound you, making your pain worse. You won't know if you're close to death or not because of how magnified the seal is."
She chuckled. "I ain't telling you shit."
Naruto chuckled. "You don't have a choice. Now first question. Who are you, what village are you from and why did you attack me?"
She bit her lip as she debated on answering and the seal shocked her, sending more pain through her body, making her feel like she had the Chidori going inside of her stomach. The blood in her hand had slowed to a crawl, but the shocking caused the wound to reopen. She gasped and looked at Naruto, her eyes showing defiance.
Naruto chuckled as he took two knuckle blades from his pouch. The fifteen year old looked at Ibiki and nodded his head toward the still open door. Ibiki nodded as he closed it and placed a silencing seal on it. Naruto turned back to the woman looking at her and his single eye and eye socket slightly scaring her. He lowered his head, his hair shadowing his upper face then he looked up and swung, knocking her across the jaw, blood and saliva splattering across her face.
Anko and Ibiki blinked at how quickly his mood changed. The woman spat, blood hitting the floor as she looked at Naruto and smirked.
"Did I make you mad?" she asked, chuckling.
Naruto flexed his fingers and popped them, glaring at her. "You realize that I'm fifteen right? Who would send you to kill a fifteen year old. So I ask you again, who are you and what village are you from?"
At first, she refused to answer, but when she was shocked as Anko made a hitsugi handsign, she yelled in pain and looked at Naruto. "All right you bastard, fine! I'll tell you that."
He nodded as he sat in a chair. "Then hurry. I don't have the patience to deal with this all damn day."
She smirked. "My name is Ryuga Kasumi. I'm a jounin from Iwagakure no sato. Our Sandaime sent me here to kill you because of the information a new counselor gave us."
Naruto raised an eyebrow at this. "What's this counselors name?"
She shook her head. "I'm not telling you that."
Naruto jabbed her in the throat, making her hack and cough. She sat up and smiled at him, knowing she was antagonizing him but not caring.
"Give me the information I need to know or you won't see your family again," he growled.
"Oh really?" she said chuckling. "Like a brat like you could even make that choice. I bet you haven't even had your first kill yet."
Naruto shook his head as he chuckled. "Ye of little faith. I have actually, and it was a few weeks after my training began."
Flashback no Jutsu!
Naruto had just completed his training with Hiashi. He was somewhat tired, but he was also alert, mentally going over the things he reviewed. Using a chakra control exercise that all Hyuuga had to do, he continuously pumped a miniscule amount of chakra into his eyes, slowly increasing the range of it's sight. He would close his eye and also send out a chakra wave every two seconds, slowly building his reserves again and allowing him to see when he was blindfolded.
He was walking towards Ichiraku Ramen to have a bowl of his favorite food. See, he was only allowed a bowl a week as directed by Tsunade, who'd adopted him about a month ago. When he didn't listen, she took it to the Sandaime, who took care of it by making his senseis increase his training. Now granted, all the ramen he ate came back to bite him in the ass and he suffered for it. Almost every session he had consisted of taijutsu now while going over the regular lessons. So eventually, after a few nights of attempted sneaking outs (which were unsuccessful as Hiashi's Byakugan was activated even as the man slept) he finally stopped indulging in ramen so much. But he did at least give the Ichiraku's a monthly donation from his ever growing Namikaze funds, which came from the businesses his parents secretly owned.
But anyways, he was walking towards Ichiraku and he heard voices behind him. He turned and saw some shinobi following him at a sedate pace. He shrugged his shoulders, not really caring about their intents as long as they didn't bother him. He didn't bother looking up, somewhat trusting the shinobi in the village and that they'd look out for him after he near sacrificed himself for the Sandaime.
But sadly, he was wrong. He felt a chakra buildup from behind him and turned just in time to dodge a Goukakyu no Jutsu and ducked as a DaiShuriken went by his head. He backflipped, drawing two kunai and the civilians that were still on the street evacuated quickly. Naruto turned and flung his elbow into one chunins stomach, flipping him over his back and kicking the man into the ground. Naruto dropped to the ground, stabbing him in the throat and ending his life.
Naruto had yet to realize what he'd done, but he would after he felt the blood running down his hand. He shook off the shock that was threatening him from completing the task. The chunin noticed that moment of distraction in Naruto's eye and raced at him with a battle cry.
Naruto responded quickly, spinning on his heel and elbowing the man in the stomach as he stabbed him with the blade in his left hand. He then ripped the blade out, spinning behind him and holding the blade to his neck as he looked at a shinobi that was debating on joining to attack Naruto or defend him. His remaining eye had turned cold and remorseless, telling the man that if he interferred, then he'd die.
The chunin with the blade to his throat gulped, wondering if he'd die. He assumed that he wouldn't so he prepared an attack, but by that time it was too late. Naruto walked away, putting the two kunai in his pouch and his hands in his pockets.
"Oi!" the chunin said as he turned towards Naruto. "Kyuubi-gaki! Where do you think you're going brat! I'm not through with you yet!"
Naruto shook his head as he yelled over his shoulder. "Doesn't matter. You were dead the moment I poke your heart."
The chunin was confused for a moment before he felt pain in his chest as a red mist started seeping from his body. He felt strength, strength like never before and he raced at the Kyubbi jinchuuriki, expecting the boy to die in one punch. But he didn't count on him drawing a katana from nowhere and slicing his arm off in a clean swing, with no blood on the blade whatsoever.
"You've just increased your rate to meet the Shinigami my friend," Naruto said as he sheathed the blade and walked away.
The chunin tried to race after Naruto, but the fight and getting his arm cut off had him quickly losing energy. He didn't know what was happening, but he felt dissier a lot faster than normal and he soon passed out and died from chakra overload and a loss of blood. As Naruto made it home, never making it to his meal, he went over the events in his mind, his body being left on autopilot.
Flashback no Jutsu: Kai
Naruto explained this ordeal to the woman and she looked at him, trying to see if she could break him by using that. But his eye showed pain, lonliness and determination and she figured she'd have a tough time cracking him. What she didn't expect was for a kunai to go right into her thigh, just before her groin and she gasped out in pain. The pain only increased as Naruto dug the kunai in deeper and harder, grazing the bones in her left leg, sending pain flaring into her mind as if she were struck by a thousand Raiton jutsu at once.
Naruto glared at her, his ice cold eye frightening the woman.
"Who is that damn counselor woman!?" he snarled. "Tell me and I'll let you live!"
"D-danzo Shi-shimura," she stammered as it slowly turned into a low laugh. "And I bet you can't wait to find out what he's got planned for you during the Chunin Exams Uzumaki."
