Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, Itachi would've left someone like Shisui alive instead of Sasuke.
Hey guys wow, and here I was thinking that I wouldn't be doing one chapter per day with school going on I guess I'm just that good hehe. Alright I know most of you are wanting more fights like Naruto vs Orochimaru, don't worry I have another one of those coming up this chapter. Also when I get to shippuden there will be a lot more big fights because it's not like Naruto will be facing genin anymore but S-rank ninja so trust me there'll be a ton more.
Review Shout outs :
redlox2: Great I'm stoked you liked it! And that's totally fine I'm glad you're making things clear.
Blackroselover: Hmm didn't really think of that, I'll put that into consideration. Considering…DONE you shall see if I said yes or no in this chapter.
grimangel163/soulofdragon1: Thanks guys!
JaCk-o'-LaNtErN 91: Yah as I said on the top I'll be having more big fights once I had the chunin exams finished, it's realllllly hard to do a big fight when all of Naruto's opponents are mere genin.
lightningblade49: Yah keep stuff like that coming, I just don't want to be like Sasuke and his MS spamming the thing, hmm I'll be getting rid of Orochimaru soon.
Irishfighter: I changed the poll to where you can vote for both.
perseus peverell: Yah sorry about that it's just a habit of mine to try and explain myself when I do something out of the ordinary or whatever. For the one-sided battles it was just that they were all bad match ups for the other person. Neji, cant do anything about Lee's speed if he cant move fast enough, Temari, if you take away her wind jutsu's she's pretty weak when you have her against a taijutsu expert's student. Chouji, too slow and unstrategically minded to out think Shikamaru. Yugito vs an OC yah Shin's just like a stronger version of Sakura oh and male, thinks he's all that, son of a powerful official blabbity blah. Naruto vs Gaara, Gaara just isn't good for offense right now it's not until the Sasuke retrieval arc he actually showed some decent offensive moves.
It seems I like to ramble a lot, no wonder some people just skip the shout outs, but hey, they have spoilers and information to some of your unasked questions. Anyway here's the newest chapter.
XxX
After the fight had finished the whole entire crowd, awestruck that Naruto had defeated a bijuu, and had mastered two infamous jutsu, and on top of that managed to summon the fourth's toad Gamabunta.
Up in the stands, Sasuke was fuming, he had gotten there just as Yugito's fight started. He just couldn't understand how Naruto was so strong, and he didn't know how to get stronger, it's not like there was anyone strong in a village full of famous shinobi that were almost all willing to help him.
Sakura and Ino were trying to convince themselves that Sasuke was still stronger and better than Naruto, but just couldn't get past the fact that Sasuke can't do anything to stop a twenty story tall bijuu that shoots off big huge wind bullets of death.
Orochimaru in the Kazekage's robes was licking his lips at the prospect of having Naruto on his side, he knew he couldn't switch bodies with him because of the Kyuubi, but to have such an asset on his team, he would quickly rise farther into power. His only plan for Sasuke was for him to be a baby maker to hopefully make stronger kids, to him Sasuke was only as useful to him and worthy of being a next host as Sakura was. 'Sasuke would be simple to trick into coming with me while Naruto would be rather difficult, with all of his root training he must be completely loyal to Konoha. I don't want to kidnap either of them, otherwise Konoha would instantly retaliate to rescue their precious Uchiha. That is, if they survive today.'
He decided he had seen enough of Naruto's skills for now he motioned for his guards to be prepared. He quickly threw a smoke bomb and then grabbed Sarutobi, and jumped up onto the roof. "Well, well Sarutobi, you've gotten slow in your old age. "
He never noticed the old man's smirk or took heed to the sudden build up of chakra "Boom!"
'Grr, well I see how this is going; this body can't take many more of those hits, and then quickly make a new one.' Orochimaru thought as he quickly had to make a new body again, agitated that he had to waste a ton of chakra so soon when he could've easily avoided that if he hadn't underestimated the old hokage.
As his bodyguards positioned themselves to form a barrier they quickly heard a jutsu being called out. "Doton Swamp of the Underworld!" they quickly had to jump up and forego the barrier in order to escape but that seemed to be toad sage's plan.
"Ninpou: bring down the house jutsu!"
None of them had the muscle to stop the falling toad, attempted to summon a Rashomon to impede the summons fall but they found themselves inside a barrier that forbade them from summoning any chakra that they quickly recognized. "You didn't think you were the only ones who could make a barrier did you?" Jiraiya questioned.
Back in the stands Naruto and his clones, along with all the Jounin and some of the chunin were quickly dispatching all of the Sound nin that were hiding amongst the crowd while it was proving difficult among the amassed panic of the citizens. He kind of wished that they were all knocked out, he quickly decided to do just that.
He summoned about half of his killing intent which then quickly knocked out all of those who were non shinobi, while the Sound ninja in that area that were Chunin and below just froze making them easy pickings for the Leaf nin around them.
Naruto quickly left the rest of them to the Jounin who he assumed could easily handle these guys. He then jumped over to where he saw a falling toad landing on some sound nin inside a chakra barrier.
After the toad dispersed, four very battered and broken sound nin tried to crawl away. Orochimaru had quickly gotten away once he saw Jiraiya's Doton jutsu.
After the coast was clear Orochimaru quickly reappeared on the stadium floor while trying to judge his options. Sarutobi and Jiraiya appeared in front of him while Naruto stayed back to await an opportunity to help.
Jiraiya decided to strike first "Ranjishigami no jutsu!" he called out as his hair extended and formed a lions mouth as it went to entangle and attack Orochimaru.
Orochimaru quickly jumped up to get out of the way while the hair came up and followed him. He quickly summoned a large snake to counter Jiraiya's jutsu but it was quickly pierced through the inside by many different spikes of chakra infused hair.
After the smoke cleared Orochimaru was nowhere to be found. He reappeared a distance away before calling out a jutsu. "Mandara no Jin!" Countless snakes erupted from his mouth and then all drew a blade that erupted from their mouths.
Naruto took this as his cue to step in along with a clone. "Katon: Searing Tsunami!/Fuuton: Wind wave!
The enormous wall of fire quickly filled up the entire opposite side of the arena floor quickly incinerating all of the snakes. He heard a call of a jutsu " Summonng: Four pillar Rashomon!"
As four gigantic gates surrounded Orochimaru they were quickly surrounded by flames. Barely keeping all of the heat out. After the jutsu ended. Orochimaru quickly heard another jutsu being called from above him.
"Katon:Endan!/Fuuton: Renkuudan!"
As the giant fireball shot through the opening in Orochimaru's defense, the snake sannin quickly summoned a snake to take the damage for him but the only one capable of doing so against such a technique would be Manda. 'Oh well, he's served his purpose enough.'
Orochimaru quickly hid in his mouth until the technique was over. Once it was complete, he walked out of the dead snake's mouth ready for his next move where he could gain an upper hand.
"Kukuku, so unfair sensei, three against one? Allow me to even these odds. Summoning: Edo tensei"
Two coffins came up with the insignia for 'first' and 'second' on them. While Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and Naruto looked shocked while two well known figures stepped out.
"Saru, you've certainly gotten old haven't you? Are you the one who has summoned us using my technique?" The nidaime asked.
"No that would be me Orochimaru, I thank you for creating such a jutsu, it has come in quite in handy for situations like these but enough of this chit chat." Orochimaru leaned forward to implant the kunai with the talisman to control them both.
Acting quickly Naruto called out his technique "Fuuton: reppusho!"
The blast of wind quickly knocked away the two kunai which then sent them to two of Naruto's clones.
The fighting was over now in the stands and now all of the shinobi there have been watching the fight while looking for a time when they may need to assist the trio. They have been stunned so far by Naruto's prowess with his jutsu.
Jiraiya and Sarutobi then motioned for two of the jounin in the stands, Genma and Gai, to quickly snatch the former hokage's.
"Once this fight is over I want you to examine those seals and see if it's possible to alter it." Sarutobi said to Jiraiya. (A/n just so you know as of now both of them aren't fully revived, they need to have some kind of seal to keep them here, so they can't fully move very well or easily.)
"Hai Sarutobi-sensei but first let's take care of our resident pedophile." Jiraiya responded while building up his chakra.
'Hmm that puts a major dent in my plans, but what to do now? I would make this a battle of attrition if Jiraiya and Naruto weren't here, I cant use too many ninjutsu without them being a complete waste with all three of them being strong in ninjutsu while with Naruto it probably wouldn't even make a dent in his chakra supply to overpower any of my techniques. Genjutsu is an option but considering all three of their levels I doubt it would do any good and also the jounin in the stands would quickly free them if any got caught. Taijutsu seems to be my only real option for this.' Orochimaru pondered.
He quickly summoned Kusanagi from his mouth and assumed his stance. Naruto drew his wakizashi while Sarutobi summoned enma and transformed him into his diamond staff. Jiraiya just looked at them both before pouting and pulling out a kunai.
Orochimaru struck first striking at Naruto with an overhead slash destroying Naruto's blade which attempted to block it even with its wind chakra while Sarutobi extended his staff to block it while Naruto ducked under the strike with a jutsu forming into his palm. At the same time Enma had one of his arms extend from the staff and grab ahold of his face to keep him in place and the other held onto his sword's hilt to prevent him from striking with it.
Jiraiya called out a technique to also keep him from getting away. "Doton: Doryuheiki!"
Naruto finished the technique he spent the most time working on "Fuuton: Rasengan!"
Orochimaru's eyes widened at the prospect of getting hit with that and tried to channel chakra to the point of impact to lessen the blow. He was sent flying clear through the earth wall before skidding into the base of the stadiums wall.
He shakily tried to get up while struggling to concentrate to be able to shed his skin but found himself unable too. 'This body is at its limits. I can't go on without surely failing.' He quickly summoned a snake and crawled into it's mouth and then proceeded to burrow deep into the ground to make its escape.
"Well that was anticlimactic, what a wimp." Naruto said while examining his ruined wakizashi.
"If you are worried about your broken sword I think you can make do with this one, you've definitely earned using it, and it was not meant to just lay around collecting dust." Sarutobi said while handing Kusanagi over to Naruto who quickly nodded and examined it.
Most of the shinobi were just gawking at Naruto who had managed to get through a battle with S-ranked ninja's without a scratch on him. He then proceeded to make it shrink down to a size suitable for him not being quite used to a very long sword. 'That'll come in handy.'
"Well let's go round up all of the captured or injured enemy shinobi and check and see if we have any losses." Jiraiya stated.
"YOSH! Hokage-sama we have suffered only minor injuries to our youthful bodies, we did not leave any alive although sir! They were most unyouthful and were a disgrace to the flames of youth and we were forced to extinguish their corrupted flames!" Gai yelled from his spot making the nearby shinobi who were dumb enough to stand near him i.e. Sakura and Ino quickly cover their ears in pain.
"HOW DO YOU LIKE IT NOW EH SAKURA-CHANNNNN!" Kakashi yelled from his spot happy that the tables have turned.
Yugito had helped out the leaf nin taking out the sound-nin and then proceeded to watch the fight proud of Naruto for doing so well.
"Well that's that then well, I'm gonna go take a nap now that these exams are cancelled." Naruto said to Sarutobi and Jiraiya.
One week Later
"Because of your extreme skill and your apparent ability to lead the most unruly team of genin I have seen in years. Also for your service in the invasion we are proud to award you with the rank of Chunin, and now because of all your clear experience and the fact that you can stand up to most jounin and even defeat a full bijuu we also promote you to the rank of Tokubetsu jonin." Sarutobi said while handing over a chunin vest over to Naruto.
"Once you have sufficient practice with working with other teams we will upgrade you to full Jounin." The sandaime said with a look of pride on his face.
"Thank you Hokage-sama" Naruto replied while putting on the vest and placing several of his scrolls into the different pockets.
The hokage then proceeded to give a chunin vest to both Lee and Shikamaru for their prowess and leadership abilities respectively. He planned on pairing the two up quite often so Lee could pick up a lot of strategic abilities from Shikamaru.
Later that night, at the party celebrating the three of them advancing higher in rank, the entire rookie nine and Gai's squad were there, along with the sensei's.
Sasuke had to be dragged there by Kakashi with a threat to be flung into the girls favorite changing room at the academy bound and not to mention naked if he tried to make a break for it.
He was still in a pissy mood ever since he saw how truly strong Naruto was compared to him. He had been training nonstop since then and then the fact that he made Tokubetsu jounin made it even worse.
Naruto had invited Yugito to the party while, Shikamaru brought Temari seeing how they the Sand-nin were just following orders from Orochimaru and not their late Kazekage. Neji came with tenten, and so all the other guys came with other female genin that had asked them out. There were only three people without a date and that was Sakura, Sasuke, and Ino.
Sakura and Ino's conversation merely consisted of "Ha, you didn't come here with a date you're so such a loser!" "What do you mean you didn't get a date either oh hey Sasuke-kun will you dance with me "shut up and go away" "I love you Sasuke-kun!" they would both say at the same time.
A few days later after getting back from a mission with a couple of other Jounin Naruto decided to just relax for a little while before doing any more training.
"Have a good mission Gaki?" Naruto heard from above him.
"Meh it was a total snoozefest, the only thing good about diplomatic missions are the fact that they pay well." Naruto responded while yawning.
"Well we got another mission for you, we apparently have to go and fetch my wayward team-mate to see if she will try and start up that medical nin program she wanted to do all those years ago. Apparently Danzo liked it but, we didn't have the time or resources to do it at the time, but now we do. So that's another of the changes we're implementing here." Jiraiya said.
"Alright let's head out now I already got all of my stuff packed and ready to go." Naruto responded.
After about an hour of walking they stopped at a nearby town that was having a carnival going on. "Go have some fun Gaki, it will take some time before we can find Tsunade, so we might as well take our time." Jiraiya said while heading into a tavern.
Naruto quickly decided to just head out into the forest to do some more training. After he arrived he quickly sensed a massive chakra signature coming his way that was comparable to bijuu levels.
He made several shadow clones and separated them throughout the woods to replace with them if needed. And sent another one to go and get Jiraiya. "Come on out! Only a completely talentless loser wouldn't be able to sense that large of a chakra signature."
Out walked two people he quickly recognized the two from the bingo book and quickly prepared himself for the fight of his life. "Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, never would expect to see a couple of S-ranked criminals like yourselves here, let alone in the middle of a deserted forest…together… by yourselves… stalking little boys." Naruto said with a smirk.
Both Itachi and Kisame twitched, "So he's got a mouth on him eh Itachi? This brat needs to be taught a lesson although it's surprising that he already knows who we are."
Itachi just stared at him impassively "Naruto-kun come with us"
"Am I allowed to say no?"
"No"
"darn!"'worth a shot though'
Kisame tired of just talking when he was itching for a fight ever since he was forced to abandon the one with that spandex wearing idiot quickly rushed forward with his sword drawn intent on ending this now.
Naruto drew his Kusanagi sword and using his superior speed quickly dodged Kisame's overhead slash by jumping to the left and then extending his blade, and then coating it with wind chakra.
Kisame quickly hit the floor to get away while Naruto continued on going for Itachi who easily tracked it with his sharingan nimbly jumped over the blade.
"How did a brat like you get Orochimaru-teme's blade?" Kisame questioned.
Naruto just stayed impassive, not feeling like trying to anger them anymore and deciding to concentrate on the fight. He sheathed his blade and went with a different blade.
"Fuuton: Kaze no Yaiba!" He then rushed forward trying to hit Itachi who was having a hard time keeping out of its way. He noticed Kisame calling off a jutsu from behind and quickly shunshined back to where he was. He attempted to use a downward slice but only succeeded in getting his back.
Kisame's jutsu ran straight into Itachi's bunshin Daibakuha.
Naruto deciding to go on a full offensive tried using some of is bigger collaboration jutsu that would make it hard to dodge or for Samehada to suck the chakra from.
"Suiton: Bakusui Shoha!"
"Are you sure that's such a good idea boy, I mean you're in my territory now." Naruto just made more hand signs which Kisame matched guessing his idea. "Suiton: Suiryudan no jutsu" They both called out.
Naruto continued with more hand signs "Raiton: Lightning dragon!" His dragon then combined with both his and Kisame's jutsu before going down to attack kisame who was using Samehada as best as he could to absorb the attack.
While he was still there Naruto had one of his clones hold off Itachi for just a second while he himself went to strike Kisame from behind. 'I may really hate being underestimated but hey it sure helps against guys like this.'
Kisame being unable to move was quickly struck from behind by a "Fuuton: rasengan which promptly sent him flying straight into the remains of the Lightning charged water dragon.
Itachi quickly got rid of Naruto's clone and decided to end this. "Look into my eyes Naruto-kun."
"What kind of idiot intentionally looks into a sharingan users eye!"
Naruto quickly charged intent on trying to stall more time while Jiraiya got there and until Kisame got back up. He knew trying to use plain old taijutsu, Kenjutsu was still risky, although there was another option.
"Fuuton: Wind drills" A drill of wind appeared on each of Naruto's hands. "This'll help even the odds against those predicting eyes of yours."
Naruto quickly engaged Itachi who found it hard to have time to land a hit, Naruto knew that if he slipped up once Itachi would end this. After about a minute of dodging Naruto's strikes Itachi quickly formed a hand seal then called out his jutsu.
"Suiton: Suigadan" the technique quickly managed to strike Naruto who then puffed out of existence.
"Excellent job Naruto-kun getting out of there with a kawarimi as fast as you did. But now it's time I finish this."
Itachi took a step forward on the water before stopping. "It's been a long time, Sasu-chan. But as you can see, once again, I am busy so go away."
"Yeah beat it Sasuke-teme, why would a genin like you ever stand ever chance against an S-rank ninja?" Naruto called out happy for the reprieve so he can find a way out of this. 'Ok they definitely aren't trying to really kill me otherwise they would have already. And the only reason why they would want me is for Kyuu-chan. So that's why they want me alive, so she won't get killed with me, that explains why I haven't been completely demolished yet.'
He watched as Sasuke started screaming after pitifully trying to kill Itachi. Just as Naruto was about to get back into the fight, he saw Jiraiya appear behind Itachi and then raised his hands in a placating gesture to show he wasn't here to fight.
"Itachi, Hokage-sama and the elders have requested me to tell you once we saw you again that you are free to come home and that your mission is done."
Itachi's eyes, not to mention Naruto's, widened when Jiraiya said that. Naruto body flickered over there to pick up the unconscious Sasuke.
"B-but what about my mission to keep an eye on the akatsuki?"
"It's being taken care of what we need right now is for one of our strongest nin to come back to the village. Danzo and the Sandaime will be coming clean with the village about the Coup de tat, they feel having you back will be worth giving up some pride and face in the nations." Jiraiya responded. He then placed a hand on his shoulder, "ya know there's no real need to feel guilty for what you have done, it was the only real thing we could do without starting the fourth shinobi war."
Itachi just nodded solemnly. "There is one bit of unfinished business to take care of though." He quickly shunshined back to where Kisame was and proceeded to knock him out and kick away samehada while Jiraiya placed it into a sealing scroll.
"We'll escort you back into the village and then Naruto and I will complete our task." Jiraiya said.
"I wonder how Sasuke-teme will react once he gets up though"
XxX
And that's a wrap, I hope I gave you guys some good fights today, but dang its just so hard to write fights for people who you have little to no idea what all techniques they have. I mean Orochimaru spent years trying to learn all the jutsu in the world while he's only shown hardly any that are worth using in a fight they were primarily just supplementary attacks.
Ok anyway I wanted to add a unique twist of my own so I decided to have Itachi return to Konoha and not in a body bag. I'll be finishing and concluding the search for Tsunade arc next chapter. If you guys have any ideas for an side mission or side arc give me some ideas. I mostly just come up with the original stuff as I go along I mean I never planned to do stuff like have Itachi join Konoha again until I actually wrote it. I'm a spur of the moment kind of guy I guess oh well read and review.
Kakashidex out
