Chapter 11: Arashingan Awakens! Naruto's Strength from Within
Author's Note
Sorry Guys! It didn't make that very clear did I? No, this in between Shippudden and Naruto. This is a year after the Sasuke arc. All the power Naruto received from the fourth cut his training into a much smaller time. Sorry Again!! TT
Naruto moved hastily, as he drew breath from the air. The heaven scroll was located behind his weapon scrolls Naruto couldn't waste anytime. He jumped through the trees, and spotted a group of Grass Nin. Naruto watched them carefully as they talked. He discovered they had a heaven scroll. He sighed, that won't help him at all. He decided to move up closer towards the tower. He continued his journey and he noticed that there was a battle of Shinobi close by. He quickly stopped and hid behind a tree. Naruto soon discovered it was Hinata's team. But, Hinata and her team beat the team and took their scroll easily.
"Ohhhh…" groaned Naruto in disappointment. "So…close"
Hinata tapped Naruto on the shoulder. She startled him and she giggled.
"Sorry Naruto-kun but, this scroll is ours" said Hinata sticking out her tongue
"Oh, well there's more scrolls in this forest then that" said Naruto dashing away
Naruto picked up the pace, and then ran into a group of sound ninja in the distance. He saw the three of them advancing forward. Naruto cracked his knuckles, when the middle Shinobi saw this. He smirked, but Naruto heard this smirk before. In fact, it was a bad habit of his lost friend, Sasuke.
"It's nice to see you again Sasuke" said Naruto in a serious tone.
"Naruto…it's been awhile…" said Sasuke closing his eyes
Naruto took a good look at Sasuke. He wore a white jacket, with black pants. He wore a purple rope for a belt. He wore a katana on his side ; Basically his shippudden costume.
Sasuke opened his left eye with a smile, "Naruto I expect to see you at the finals…right?"
"Of course Sasuke…"said Naruto
"Itachi Uchiha is dead…Naruto" said Sasuke seriously "His body was found near the east shores of the leaf"
"Does that mean-"
"No, Naruto it isn't that simple…you see I can't leave that easily…and even if I do comeback…I face death as a missing Nin…so you can see my dilemma." Said Sasuke opening both eyes
"So, Can I expect you to keep up with me?" asked Naruto
There was an awkward silence between them. Naruto and Sasuke glared at each other, and then Sasuke turned away.
"I don't know dobe …can you keep up with me?" said Sasuke revealing his sharingan.
Naruto nodded, he decided it was best to let Sasuke decide whether he should stay or go. Naruto felt uneasy as if someone was watching them. Naruto looked to Sasuke and he nodded. He was never good at identifying an enemy but, Sasuke was.
"Come out…" said Sasuke looking towards a tree behind Naruto.
Naruto slowly drew his katana. He swung horizontally, just before contact. He added Chakra to the blade and cut the tree into a stump. Naruto looked up to see a Black long haired man…with the sharingan? Naruto opened his weapon scroll and threw an eight edged shuriken. It made sharpening sound as it flew. The long black haired man jumped again in mid-air. His long hair managed to cover most of his face. The eight edged shuriken missed him but, came back and made contact with his back. The stranger turned into many crows as the special shuriken went back to Naruto. Naruto caught it and put it into the scroll. Whoever this guy was he was more than good at GenJutsu and a lot craftier then Naruto took credit for. Naruto decided it wasn't good to be out in the open so he backed away quickly towards Sasuke.
"Sasuke?" said Naruto
"I can see right through his GenJutsu don't worry!" said Sasuke but, Sasuke was worrying
"This guy is good I didn't even feel the presence of him using GenJutsu, and-"said Sasuke
Naruto interrupted "behind you"
Birds flew at Sasuke at all angles. Then the birds turned into shuriken. Sasuke dodged the shuriken. He knew if he had made contact with it's steal he would be caught in the illusion. Sasuke finally identified where the GenJutsu user was.
"Fire style: Dragon Flame Bullet!" said Sasuke the flame infernal aimed behind him.
"Fire style: Toad Oil Flame Bullet" said Naruto after summoning a small frog.
"Fire style: Roaring Flame Sphere!" called out the black haired man after coming out of his GenJutsu.
The enemy's crimson and colossal sphere made contact with Naruto and Sasuke's jutsu. The two forces collided. The heat was almost unbearable, the two other ninja joined in.
The female Nin started her ninjutsu and so did the male.
"Combination jutsu: Earth-water dragon head" said the two ninja as a mud dragon appeared
"Fire!" sad the two Nin the dragon head shot an explosive round of mud at the sphere.
The missile made contact with the red sphere but, it incinerated. Naruto and Sasuke sighed, amateurs. Naruto and Sasuke tried their best but soon found them out of breath. Sasuke jumped out of the way while Naruto stayed.
"Naruto!" said Sasuke blinded by the heat of the sphere.
"Kenpo Rasengan!" called Naruto's voice from the orb.
The wind furiously shook as he said these words. It twisted around Naruto's right hand and it sent the sphere back at the opponent. The force of the Rasengan sent the sphere back too quickly for the assailant to evade. The blast detonated and Naruto was caught in the detonation. But, Naruto managed to make a small barrier around himself of his own chakra. Sasuke and his teammates rushed over to Naruto's side. Naruto was completely exhausted. He leaned on his sword then collapsed. Sasuke looked to see the damage. He realized that the crater was nearly a quarter of the whole forest of death. The pathway of Naruto's Rasengan was still quite clear. There was a huge canyon at least 10 feet wide and the dark abyss bellow was unimaginably deep.
"So, Naruto you still can keep up with me…It is a shame however that you can not still keep up with yourself" said Sasuke grabbing Naruto's collar and dragged him along.
"Sasuke"
"Shut up dobe conserves your energy" said Sasuke dragging him
"Sasuke! Come here!" called the voice, now realizing Naruto was still unconscious
In the distance, the some rose and filled the sky. The shadow of a man walked forward. The smoke cleared and revealed the Mangekyou sharingan. It was clear that this man was the great fallen Uchiha. Sasuke almost tripped over Naruto as he retreated back.
"Naruto get up" said Sasuke shaking him
"Naruto get up!" said Sasuke in desperation as the man walked closer
"Naruto!" yelled Sasuke shaking him "I need your help wake up!"
"Naruto I can't protect you and fight him off at the same time run!" said Sasuke
"It's hopeless Sasuke!" said Madara "Come to me and I will teach you the power that destroyed your clan! That's right! I taught Itachi the true power of the sharingan!"
"You Bastard!" replied Sasuke "Kana, Hoshi go ahead and run that's an order I'll catch up later take Naruto with you!"
"But" said Hana (female Nin)
"That's an order!" yelled Sasuke "Now Go!"
"Where are you going?" asked Madara appearing in front of the two Nin and Naruto. "Earth style: Dark swamp"
The two nin and Naruto were neck high in mud.
"Now, where are your manne-" said Madara but was interrupted by Sasuke's Chidori
Sasuke's hand pierced his back and came out of his chest.
"Well, aren't you the fast one?" chuckled Madara "Earth style: Dark swamp"
"What?" said Sasuke in shock
He quickly grasping his sword he decapitated him and kicked his body away from him. Madara's body dissipated into black fire and reformed itself into his former self.
"What are you!" said Sasuke
"An Immortal the great Madara Uchiha I have come for you Sasuke!" said Madara pointing at him "I have chosen to bestow my own power onto you!"
"If I refuse" said Sasuke pointing his sword at Madara
"Well, I'm afraid I'll just have to kill you after all…I need to finish the job Itachi could never do" chuckled Madara "Kill his precious little brother!"
"What are you talking about" yelled Sasuke appearing in front of Madara
Sasuke kicked Madara's chin almost like an uppercut.
"Lion's Barrage" said Sasuke but Madara stopped him in mid-air and threw him to the ground.
Madara slammed his fist against Sasuke's skull. He kicked Sasuke's helpless body and was knocked against a tree.
'Why is this so familiar?' thought Sasuke 'Where have I seen these moves before?'
"Ah!" inquired Madara "You are wondering where you have seen this before this form of Taijutsu?"
'Of course, Itachi' thought Sasuke
"That is correct!" said Madara "However, now you wonder how I am reading your thoughts, correct but, it is a trick I taught your brother for interrogation…If you become so masterful of the sharingan you are able to predict your enemies exact thoughts and go into their mind"
"Big Deal!" said Sasuke
"Oh, I see you can do this hat trick as well I see…such a promising student!" said Madara lifting Naruto from the pit of mud.
"But, I am afraid you lack Hatred" said Madara
"Get your hands off of him!" said Sasuke
"Your best friend right?" said Madara taking a kunai and plunging it into Naruto
"Naruto!" said Sasuke reaching out
"HAHAHHA!! How unfortunate?" said Madara
Hey for those of you who wanted to know why I put the chakra belt on Naruto. The reason was he was too powerful plus…I wanted Naruto to do the thing Naruto fans love! That's right more Kyuubi Naruto! Oh, Yah I know it was kind of a crummy Idea To forbid his Bloodline but … I wanted him to go Nine tails more often…Don't you : )
The read chakra rose into the air, silently. Naruto eyes opened but had no pupils, he was still unconscious. The red crimson chakra became too intense. Madara leaped out of the way. The red-chakra streamed out of his body. It twisted into the air and twirled around Naruto. It tore through the ground and lifted Naruto to his feet. The kunai went flying out of Naruto's body. The red chakra tore up Naruto's white jacket. His black shirt was torn and ripped. Naruto's eyes flickered from pure white to pure red. Naruto closed his eyes and reopened them. Revealing he had now transformed into the nine-tails Naruto. The chakra belt's yin-yang symbol glowed crimson red and Naruto now had control of his actions but, could not control his own inner anger. Finally, the red chakra formed a familiar Kyuubi cloak with one tail.
"RAHHHHHHHHHHH!! GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF SAUSKE TEE-BAYO!!" yelled Naruto
Naruto's cloak reached out and grabbed Madara. He jerked the cloak so Madara came towards him at great speed. Naruto with his other hand formed a Rasengan. Madara's hair slung back and Naruto discovered he had a deformed left eye. He then looked into his right eye. The Mangekyou Sharingan was hypnotizing. He then realized that he saw a black flame inside Madara's eye.
"Amaterasu" said Madara
Naruto realized how slow everything seems to be getting. He looked into Madara's eye and saw a reflection of himself. Naruto discovered his eyes were burning with a dark, cool blue color. They burned into Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan. Naruto's right eye reflected Madara's eye perfectly. Madara was being burnt by black fire. Naruto grinded his teeth, he patted down the Rasengan layer by layer this time. It made the Rasengan glow a dark blue. The centre was a lot darker than last time. The Red chakra surrounded and shielded the Rasengan.
"KENPO!! TRUE RASENGAN!!" yelled Naruto, (OVERKILL, NO?)
Naruto's Rasengan made contact with Madara. The Rasengan continued to push into Madara's stomach. The sound was like the sound of sharpening skates. The ground around Naruto cracked tremendously. Madara soared through the air and started to burn by the mere speed. In three seconds, Madara was already out of sight but not for long. A red crimson orb formed in the sky. It was twenty fifty above Naruto but, it started over a kilometer in the air. Naruto's red chakra ceased. His belt's yin-yang symbol turned to its familiar green aura. Naruto feinted and fell into the ditch. The whole world turned black afterwards.

"Naruto" called a voice
"Naruto wake up you dobe!" said Sasuke
"Yawn! Teme!" said Naruto
"I said wake up" said Sasuke nudging him
"Alright, where are we Sasuke?" said Naruto realizing he was on a bed with a cast on his arm. "No! We failed the exam didn't we I knew it!"
"No, Dobe we passed I dragged your sorry ass across the forest of death!" said Sasuke his left eye was twitching
"Oh, Sasuke I didn't know you cared" said Naruto joking around
"SHUT IT!! BAKA IF I HEAR ANOTHER PEEP! FROM YOU I WILL beat you to a bloody pulp!" yelled Sasuke
"Come on, Sasuke give me a hug buddy!" said Naruto receiving a slam on the head by Sasuke's sheath.
"Hey!" said Naruto, "That was uncalled for!"
"Oh, yah so is this!" said Sasuke swinging again.
Naruto grabbed his Iron sheath and intercepted the blow and then hit his cheek with the sheath. Sasuke and Naruto continued their sheath fight. But, they turned the room upside down.
"Hey, enough that's quite enough from both of you" said Hana, Sasuke's teammate went into another room.
"Gees, could you guys be quiet!" said Hoshi following her.
Naruto and Sasuke were facing them. Naruto raised his arm and gave Sasuke a clump on the head.
"Why, you son of a-"said Sasuke as he was about to slam his sheath onto Naruto's head.
Sakura's voice stopped him. What would he say? What would he do now? Naruto read the distress in Sasuke's face.
In the hallway …
"So, Ino have you any Idea what happened there were huge explosions in the forest of death! I'm telling you its aliens!" said Sakura
"Aliens, that's crazy it was the fire men from the sun!" replied Ino
"Ino, isn't that still aliens?" said Chouji munching on chips
"Oh, yah!" said Ino
"Anyways, I'm gonna pay a visit to Naruto! I hear he and another group came here first since everyone was distracted by the huge explosions." Said Sakura opening the door
"Hey, Sakura-Chan!" said Naruto hesitantly
"Hey, Naruto you doing alright?" said Sakura
"O-f Cou-rse Wh-Why would you say that?" said Naruto
"You have a shattered arm Naruto" said Sakura seeing he was hiding something
"Oh!" said Naruto dumbly
"Hey who's in your bed?" said Sakura pointing to a lump on the bed under the blankets
"Well, it's a….a….my back pack" said Naruto
"It's awfully large for a backpack" inquired Sakura with a hard voice "Isn't it Naruto?"
The lump sneezed.
Sakura lifted a brow
"It's umm… you caught me at a bad time you see…" said Naruto
"Who's under there!" said Sakura finally
"Okay, it's…." said Naruto "Hinata-Chan!"
"Hinata…why would Hinata be in your bed hiding?" Said Sakura then it hit her like a ton of bricks
"Oh…I see never mind I'll visit later!" said Sakura turning around in a hurry bumping into Hinata-Chan. Naruto at this point was pretty much screwed.
"Hinata oh, sorry I was in hurry because…wait a second NARUTO! WHO"S IN YOUR BED!" said Sakura turning around
"Naruto!" said Hinata angrily,
Naruto sighed, "Sorry Sasuke I tried!"
"Oh! So, you're saying that Sasuke is in the bed …Why?" said Sakura tapping her foot
"Sasuke is kind of …Hey…Why are you hiding from her?" said Naruto
The lump crawled slowly to the edge of the bed but, Sakura pulled the blanket. Sasuke was sitting up nibbling on a cookie with ear muffs on. Sasuke looked up to see Sakura. He instantly turned around. He did not want to show Sakura he was blushing. Sakura stood there paralyzed.
"Sasuke is that you" said Sakura
Sasuke cleared his throat, "Yah, it's me don't get any Ideas about well you know…I just wanted to hide myself from you"
"Do you hate me so much you can't even look at me?" said Sakura
"No, I hate myself too much too look at you" said Sasuke
"What do you mean" said Sakura
"Remember…Remember the last time we met?" said Sasuke "I 'm so sorry I hurt you that much I can't look at you straight …It's like looking at that scene over and over again in my mind…What I'm trying to say is…Well, What I'm trying to say is…I'm sorry…you are precious to me…But I feel I don't deserve you, But I want you too. It's killing me inside…I'm sorry, so Sorry"
Sakura was trembling inside.
"I hid from you because, I wasn't prepared to look at you" said Sasuke
Sakura hugged Sasuke, "You don't have to look at me , Sasuke I forgive you…maybe later on you can forgive yourself that's the hardest thing I know…It's hard…But I'll help you…Naruto will help you…everyone will help you …you are not alone Sasuke…We will always forgive you…and we will always be there."
While this happened , Naruto and Hinata watched them with tears in there eyes and popcorn. Hinata wiped her tears, "That was beautiful better then Soap Operas and Drama"
Naruto sighed, "Another couple hey maybe we could have double dates after the preliminaries."
"That's a good Idea Naruto" said Hinata "Oh, did you guys see those explosions I heard it injured a lot of Shinobi"
"Oh, Shit I didn't mean to do that" said Naruto
"Nice joke Naruto it's not like you actually…you're kidding" said Hinata
"Well the first explosion wasn't my fault but the second red one was but, it was in the sky!" said Naruto
"Yah, Right" said Hinata "What technique did you use"
"Kenpo True Vermillion Rasengan" said Sasuke "Right, Naruto?"
"You mean you actually saw it?" said Hinata
"It was incredible- I mean it – it was okay" said Sasuke
Hinata, Sakura and Naruto started to laugh.
"What?" said Sasuke aggravated that they were laughing
"So Sasuke?" said Naruto 'Think you can keep up with me now?"
"Positive, I already have Naruto …I have something just in store for you!" said Sasuke "I bet you showed me your most powerful attack! But, I will show you mine as fair trade…Let's see if you can stop it"
"Hmpf, Whatever you say Sasuke…Whatever you say…just don't lose the first round will yah?" said Naruto
"Hey, I was just about to say that to you" said Sasuke
Hinata and Sakura watched the two and sighed. Boys will be boys.
"So, Hinata do you think you can beat me?" said Sakura
"It will be like taking candy from a baby" said Hinata pushing Sakura playfully
"You think that eh?" said Sakura pushing back.
Hinata and Sakura sighed, when Sasuke and Naruto started beating each other up.
Sakura and Hinata decided that they needed their rest. So, Hinata and Sakura separated the two giving them headphones instead. They needed to rest , preliminaries were just around the corner .
