Hashirama, Kurama and Naruto stood in awe at the entrance of the temple. The entrance had two very big statues of Kyuubi on either side, above the door there was an inscription. "Only those devoted to the Great Demon Lord may enter, if not accept death with great amount of pain." At this warning Hashirama couldn't help but feel fear. Just then he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to se Naruto with a reassuring smile on his face.
"It's ok. I'm here and as far as I know you are devoted to me right?" said Naruto who received a nod in return.
"And since I'm now the 'Great Demon Lord', nothing will happen to you, ok?"
"Of course I'm devoted to you, after all you're my soul mate. And I'll follow you to hell if I have to." said Hashirama with much love and caring clearly evident in his voice.
So, after that, they entered the temple. Once they did, they almost throw up with the putrid smell of corpses. Then they look at their left and saw another inscription 'only the truly devoted ones may find the answer to the nine riddles of this temple'. Then they looked ahead and saw many dragon heads ready to fire really hot flames, then they saw that there were no corpses on a path filled with drawing of flames so they thought that if they walked over that path they would be fine. They did so and passed to the second riddle which they saw it was something about water. There was a large pool filled with water, the pool was larger than any shinobi could jump, then they saw a pillar and decided to use it as a bridge since it was as high as the pool was in length, from where they were standing that is. But as naruto was preparing a rasengan he saw that his chakra was being absorbed by the water.
"So the water absorbs chakra, but does it absorb elemental chakra?" asked Hashirama to himself.
So he prepared a wood jutsu to make a pathway for them to walk. It turns out the water only absorbs non-elemental chakra.
The next room had a cave like environment, stalagmites, stalactites and even sideways, which was odd. They then noticed that there were cracks everywhere, floor, ceiling and walls.
"Be careful, Naru-chan. This room has weak structures." Warned Hashirama
"Ok." Was Naruto's only answer
As soon as Naruto set foot on the room floor, it started to collapse, the sideways stalactites were projected towards them and the roof started to fall.
"WOOD STYLE: TREES OF BINDING" shouted Hashirama, the trees appeared from the ground to sustain the roof. The trees weren't going to hold for munch time, so they rushed to the exit of the room at anbu speed in the case of Hashirama and Naruto just used Hiraishin. When they looked behind them the room's floor was gone.
"How are getting back now?" asked Naruto with a worried look on his face.
"We'll think of something when the time comes." Said Hashirama, already thinking of using a wood jutsu to build a bridge.
"Man, it's a temple in my honor and it gives me the creeps." said Naruto as they walked to the next room.
"Welcome to the club kit, welcome to the club." said Kurama, with a bit (a lot) of sarcasm.
"Be quiet you damn fox. You're enjoying this. We can see it in your eyes." said an angry Hashirama.
"Calm down, Hashi-kun. I have in mind a wonderful punishment for him when we return and it involves a certain blond woman you know very well!" said Naruto with a glint in his eyes and Hashirama just smiled evily.
Meanwhile in Konoha:
"Alright kid I think you are ready for this. Has Naruto spoken to you about kenjutsu?" asked Tobirama to the genin of his brother and Naruto.
"Yes, Naruto-sensei said that we should be ready to learn it almost at the beginning of the chunin exams." Replied Takeshi
"I see. Well I think you are ready so let's go to a weapon shop and pick you some weapons." said Tobirama
So they set of to the shopping district. They saw many weapon shops that just made Tobirama want to puke at the sheer amount of bad quality weapons he saw. Them they came across Higurashi's weapon shop and what he saw made his eyes wide as those special plates where you put cakes and other desserts. He was very tempted to buy one for himself. The weapons were of such high quality that he was almost drooling himself. Then he saw coming out of the shop the man he bumped yesterday. He went crimson again and Shizuka didn't miss that and knew exactly that Tobirama had a thing for him.
"Hi Kakashi-san! What are you doing here?" asked Takeshi
This brought Kakashi out of his thoughts about Tobirama because he was glad that his mask hid away the blush he had upon seeing Tobirama.
"Hi kids. I was just replenishing my stock of kunais and shurikens. This is the best weapon shop in Konoha, in my opinion." said Kakashi.
"I see what you mean, Kakashi-san. These weapons on display are of very high quality. Do they make them here as well as sell them?" asked Tobirama with a voice that showed he was very (almost fainting) nervous.
"Y-y-y-yes t-they do." stuttered Kakashi
"Come on kids go inside and look for a weapon that you feel is right for you."
"Hai!" they both said and entered the shop.
"So…umm…you are taking care of them while naruto is away?" asked Kakashi still nervous but not stuttering anymore.
"Yeah" was Tobirama's only response
"Are you sure they are ready for a weapon, Tobirama-sama?"
"I think so, according to them, Naruto said they should be ready right before the chunin exams and since they are next month. Please just call me Tobirama, Kakashi-san." He said
"If you call me Kakashi, I'm not that much of a fan of formalities." Kakashi said
In the store the kids were looking for the right weapon. Shizuka was in the sword section and Takeshi in the spear. Shizuka was looking at a whip sword with a blue handle with wave patterns, the blade was a shade of blue that looked almost silver white, the blade was also coming out of a blue Chinese dragon head with golden highlights. She picked it up and it instantly felt right in her hand so she decided that it was that weapon she would take. Takeshi was currently looking at a weapon that shouldn't be in that section. It was a chain kunai, but this kunai was special, the blade was in the form of flames coming out of a red Chinese dragon with black highlights, the chain was a very dark, almost black, blood red with a red crescent moon at the other end. He then called the store cleric and a man with a muscle build body and long light brown hair tied in a low ponytail (imagine neji's) came to him.
"I see you took a liking to Lucifer!" said the cleric
"Yes, but isn't it in the wrong section?" Takeshi responded
"indeed it is, I wonder how I missed that?"
"Well have you chosen your weapons?" Tobirama asked the kids
"Hai, Tobirama-sama!" both said showing their chosen weapons
Tobirama was quite impressed with them.
"Very well let's pay for them and be on our way." he told them
At the counter, the cleric just whistled at seeing the weapons.
"well kids, you do have taste in weapons. The weapon the girl is taking is called Oceana, it's prefect for water users as it can channel water chakra and make water dragons do her bidding, and don't mean the ones made of water. Lucifer there controls the very flames of hell, and gives the boy, when he's strong enough, the ability to summon Lucifer himself. I came across those weapons long ago, but I was never able to find their rightful owner. Every single person that touched them was burned or felt like they were drowning."
After they payed for the weapons they left. Shizuka after receiving the sheath of the blade settled it on her back Takeshi wrapped his chain kunai around his waist letting the flame shaped blade on the same side as the crescent moon one, on his left side.
"Alright kids, go home and rest for today. We'll be having missions tomorrow morning and kenjutsu training in the afternoon."
And so they went their ways. Tobirama went in a different way than his home which was an apartment shared with Naruto and Hashirama. He went after Kakashi to try and learn more about him, so he decided to invite him for a drink.
"Kakashi, hold on a second!"
Kakashi hearing his name being called halted his pace and turned around to meet who ever called him.
"Yes, Tobirama. Did you needed something?" Kakashi asked
"Yes, I do. I would like to invite you for a drink tonight, if you are free that is." Tobirama said
"I'd love to. Maybe we can get to know each aother a bit better." Was Kakashi reply.
