Hello everyone! I have received my first constructive criticism reviews and I am ecstatic.
Guest: My Naruto timeline may be wrong, but remember this is fanfiction and I can change whatever I want whenever I want pretty much. A lot of different things happened in my story that didn't happen in canon. Like the Akatsuki being the 'good guys'. Remember, their group is the one that brought the 'evil half-demon' Naruto down and sealed him. (Well the 'Second Sage of Six Paths' and Hinata did) In addition, if you read the first chapter, Naruto tells the Titans how the Great Shinobi War started when he was around 18 or 19 years old; this was not a war that was fought in a couple weeks like the anime either. Naruto had many allies in smaller villages that helped him out because Naruto helped them out (similar to Wave or Snow Country in the first movie) and they felt indebted to him.
Moreover, as for the bijuu being demons… imagine they are more like fragments of a demon, fragments of the Juubi. It fits my story better than if they were just masses of chakra. (Hint: Think Harry Potter)
If you end up not liking the story as it continues, then I thank you for staying for this long.
No More Ninjas: Okay, I admit, I messed up. It completely passed my mind and I will go back at some point and fix my mistake. All I can say for now is that the temple is in an unknown location, but do you really expect something that huge to not have been found at some point in the past few centuries, especially if the Teen Titans found it pretty easily in one day?
And yes, if Naruto was locked away for that long then most people would forget his existence except for maybe a few legends. But what if something similar to the Uchiha Tablet existed? Of course the people who would have such a possession wouldn't have to believe it. But what if they did?
I can guarantee that the blue-haired woman is not related to Hinata. Subject U-08 is not related to Naruto in a way you expect. I'm still working out the kinks in his origins.
Flamelegendvargas: Who says that they can't play melee at another time? :D
ThePhantomDragons: I plan to update whenever I can.
That is it for my responses to your reviews! Keep it up and my writing is bound to get better. No really, help me fill in plot holes and the story is bound to become more entertaining and enjoyable.
I'm sorry for such a big gap between chapters. I factory reset my computer and then had trouble reinstalling Microsoft office on my laptop so it took a bit of time.
Anyways enjoy the chapter!
A young man ran through a thick thicket of trees. The man had short orange hair, grey rags for clothes and a small tattoo on the back of his neck that couldn't be made out with how fast the man was travelling. His bare feet made light slapping sounds as he pushed off of a fell tree.
"Come on. Come on, faster."
He muttered to himself. The man looked back every so often to see if anyone was chasing him. When the man looked forwards again, he didn't expect to run into a low-hanging tree branch. He slammed onto his back causing thorn bushes to dig their thorns into the man's arms and legs.
"Fuck." He groaned in pain. The man took a moment to gather his bearings before picking himself up and running off again.
The Titans Tower was once again empty as was more often than late, except for Raven. She was more or less always in the tower unless the other Titans or Naruto took her outside. Currently Starfire was trying to woo Robin, and most likely failing, Beast-boy and Cyborg were teaching the kids at the park how to play American Football and Naruto was showing Gaara around Jump City and teaching him how things worked.
So it came as a surprise to her when she heard a guitar playing with someone singing as they walked into the tower. The sound was an acoustic guitar and the voice was melodic as he sang.
"Come on baby (and she had no fear), and she ran to him (then they started to fly)…"
"Oh hey Raven." Naruto greeted her as he turned a corner into the Titan's living room. Gaara gave the dark girl a small nod of acknowledgement.
"Hey. What's with the guitar?" She gestured to the guitar in Gaara's hands. It was a beautiful guitar. It had a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a slim and tapered neck, and nickel-plated tuners. It started as a dark black on the edges, and as it reached the sound hole, it faded into a soft grey.
"I played guitar many years ago. I decided to get back into it." Gaara stated in an almost emotionless tone. Raven nodded at his simple answer. With her curiosity satisfied, Raven turned around and walked back to her room.
Naruto stared after her with a small smile on his face. "She's great, isn't she?"
"Much better than Sakura." Gaara agreed with his blonde friend. Naruto looked appalled and gave him a small shove.
"Ass."
The voices around him were loud, oh so loud. Their high pitch shrieks caused him to grab the sides of his head as he stumbled around. Why were they screaming? It was pissing him off. It was bad enough that the voices he heard all the time wouldn't shut up, but now these random voices couldn't just shut up. A black tattoo over the back of his neck that read B-09 was quickly covered by what looked like grey scales.
Raven couldn't help but smile softly as she made her way back to her room, Naruto had a beautiful voice. She really hoped that he would sing more, not that she would ever tell him. When Raven entered her room she sat on thin air as she looked out the window of her room.
"Cause I'm not an… angel…" A floating pencil marked down what Raven said on a notepad that was floating along with it.
Her small smile turned into a frown as she thought hard. If anyone were there, they would say that the expression on her face was cute as she bit her lip.
Who was this person to interrupt him when he was making everyone shut up? This green haired idiot appeared after he attacked the owners of the god-awful screeching. He didn't even get to kill one of them! Not one! This had to be rectified, and it had to be now.
The green haired girl took to the air as two sets of wings appeared from her lower back. The man with orange hair growled demonically and threw out a scaled grey arm which extended far enough to grab the green haired girl and slam her into the ground. He bellowed out a great roar and formed thrusters on his back which propelled him forwards to the downed girl.
The girl managed to get out of the way before the man slammed into her. She went through a few handsigns and exhaled a bright powder that blinded the transformed man, causing him to roar as he tried to recover his sight. With a few more handsigns, the powder sharpened into fine fragments and shot towards the man. He received multiple cuts from the powder, causing him to bleed profusely.
He roared again and slammed two giant hammers for fists against the ground and used his thrusters to propel himself towards the girl again, his wounds healing as he charged. She dodged the charge attack by jumping on his outstretched fist and kicking him in the face making him fly back into the wall of a nearby building.
"What's happened here?" Robin asked. He and his team were alerted to a disturbance in the city between two possible meta-humans or villains.
"Fū is here because Fū see this person try to kill other people." The mint green haired girl said.
Robin peered into hole in the building caused by the man crashing into it. He was awarded with a fist covered in scales to the jaw which caused him to fly into the wall behind him.
"Damn, that's gotta hurt." Beast-Boy and Cyborg stated while Raven and Starfire flinched.
"I've had worse." Naruto brushed off the fact that Robin just received a devastating punch to the chin.
Gaara grunted and said. "Explosive kunai to the ass."
"Come on! I said I was sorry! Plus you were trying to destroy my home at the time." Naruto cried fake tears as he got on his knees and clasped his hands together in an attempt to appease Gaara.
"Naruto-kun?" The green haired girl asked with a tilt of her head.
"Fū?" He questioned.
"DIE!" Another voice called out. The orange haired man transformed his left hand into something reminiscent of a gun and fired giant scales at the group of people. They exploded as soon as they made contact with the ground and forced them all to split up.
"Juugo?" Naruto once again questioned. "No, this guy definitely isn't Juugo." And he wasn't. Juugo was a lot taller and had a different facial structure. Besides, this guy was like a toothpick compared to the person that was Juugo.
"Gaara! Can you deal with this? I don't wanna kill him and we need to know why he's doing this" Naruto called out as the man charged Naruto with wild swings which he casually dodged. The red-head sighed and mentally commanded the sand he controlled to well up underneath the berserk fighter and constrict his movements.
Robin made his way back to the group working out his jaw. It wasn't broken surprisingly, but it was sore as hell.
"Naruto-kun!" Fū said with complete excitement. She had thought she was the only of her kind left so she was extremely happy to see Naruto still alive and kicking.
"Who's this?" Beast-Boy asked with uncertainty in his voice with Cyborg nodding alongside his best-friend.
"Fū is Fū." She stated simply.
"Fū is like Gaara and I." Naruto cleared up for the sake of the Titans.
"Fū is happy to see Naruto and Gaara. Fū thought she was the only one to have lived this long but Fū was wrong."
"Wait, wait, wait, hold up. You told us there were others like you out there, but you never explained why. Before this meet up goes any farther, I want to know exactly why there are so many people like you out there." Robin told the blonde half-demon and red-headed Jinchuuriki.
Fū gave Naruto a questioning look to which he nodded. She then looked at Gaara who also gave her a nod. She then nodded back to them.
"There are nine people like us in total." Gaara started. "There used to only be one. He was known as the Sage of Six Paths." Naruto continued. "Fū knows that the Sage split the demon's soul that was inside of him into nine other demons that became their own being before he died..." Fū trailed off. "Our countries decided to use them as weapons and sealed them inside of babies, letting them access the demons power while they drew on the demon's infinite life source, chakra." Naruto finished.
The Titans took a couple minutes to think over this information. It was interesting. They were anchored to the land of the living via soul fragments of a powerful demon.
"Then why is friend Naruto different? He is no longer human but is now half-demon."
"That's because I merged with the…"
The orange haired man trapped by Gaara grew tired of being held in place and roared; causing a shockwave to rip through the sand and making it become useless. He grew a thruster on his right arm and launched himself towards Raven.
The half-demon widened her eyes in shock. She would be too late to do anything. She could only close her eyes as she prepared for the blow to come. When it didn't come and the only thing she felt was a warm liquid splatter across her face, she opened her eyes. The sight she saw had her wishing she hadn't opened her eyes at all. Naruto stood in front of her and the man that charged her was still. Without warning he crumpled and she could see what had happened. A kunai that belonged to Naruto was covered in blood. A deep red line ran from the man's top left shoulder down to his right hip. He had almost split the man in half.
Raven screamed in horror.
And that's it for this chapter. I do hope you enjoyed. Don't worry. Fū will not be a character who's around all the time. She's just to drive home the point that the other Jinchuuriki could still be alive… or are they? Maybe some Bijuu are without a container hmmmm? She's also there to drive the plot forward a little with B-09.
Enjoy the little cliff hanger I left you with. Rate and Review!
