Last time
'Naruto I hope you get better, I will not always be there to help you fight off the rebels, I fear they know where we are. We must be ready for war and soon!' Kaoru smiled as Kurenai offered him some sake 'hopefully they wait until after the Chuunin exams before invading.'
With that last thought Kaoru's thoughts turned to happier things as he conversed with his beloved family.
Next day
Kaoru sighed as he said his goodbyes "Alright Naruto I want you to train while I'm gone. I fear those rebel bastards know where we are. Thus I want you to set up a seal array on each gate to make sure nothing knocks those gates down."
Naruto nodded his head "Aniki you know that won't stop them, they may very well pop up within the village…" Naruto flinched when Kaoru leveled a glare at him. "I get it, I'll set it up just in case." He sighed once before moving back to start the first seal array.
Kaoru smiled fondly as his younger brother began to work on his task. Turning to the rest of his friends he sighed "I'll see everyone when I get back with the participants of the Chuunin exams." He turned to leave, but stopped when he heard someone cough into their hands.
Turning around he grinned sheepishly as he noted four glares coming his way "Heh, Heh sorry…" he kissed each of his girls on the lips before turning around again. "I'll head over to Iwa first no need putting the other teams at risk."
Kakashi gave his trademark smile as he spoke "Maa, if Iwa still has old grudges I don't think they'll have the urge to test their metal against yours."
Kaoru shrugged his shoulders "Who knows?"
Kurenai sighed worriedly "Be safe Kaoru-kun…Please?" she gave a small smiled when Kaoru nodded his head.
"Well then I'm off!" and with that Kazama Kaoru disappeared into the winds. Five seconds later they heard an explosion as a loud stream of curses followed. "YOU MOTHER FUCKING REBELS! I JUST LEFT THE FREAKING VILLAGE FIVE SECONDS AGO!" the sounds of metal clashing could be heard. After a minute of listening to the battle the small group went out to see what happened
When they got to the site they all stood slack jawed as they stared at the destruction caused by the fight which, they noticed, just finished. They turned their attention to Kaoru who was shaking in anger. Silently they all went back to the village deciding Kaoru needed to vent.
Kaoru spat on the ground before dashing off towards Iwagakure no Sato: the village hidden in the rocks.
With Naruto
Naruto was walking around with Haku, Hinata, and Ino a smile on his face. Though, granted, he wished that Haku and Hinata would stop glaring at each other, as they were making Ino uncomfortable.
"Stop clinging to him you Bimbo!"
"Make me you flat-chested cross dressing pervert!"
"Come on Hinata, Haku let's all settle this civilly okay?"
"There's no way in hell I'm being civil with this hussy! And I'll have you know my breasts are bound right now!"
"Right and Ino-chan's hair is pink." In a twist of fate as soon as those words left Hinata's mouth, Ino walked under a ladder and the painter dropped his bucket of pink paint on her head.
"Ino-chan!" three voices called out in alarm.
Naruto slowly pulled the can of paint off of her head and set it down before glaring at the painter who apologized. Turning back to Ino who if anything looked irritated, he asked "Other than your hair are you alright Ino-chan?"
Ino sighed and nodded as paint dripped from her hair onto the floor. "Yeah I'm fine though it will take weeks to get this pink paint out of all of my hair!" she whined in misery.
Hinata just stared in shock while Haku was giggling "See? I told you my breasts were bound."
Hinata looked away and huffed "I bet mine are bigger than yours anyways."
"What was that bitch!" Haku screamed
Hinata smirked and cupped her own breasts "You heard me! I said mine are bigger and better than yours!"
Before it could escalate Naruto stepped in and lifted both girls off the ground. "If you two are going to fight…DO IT IN THE FREAKING TRAINING GROUNDS!"
In unison both girls apologized "Yes Naruto-kun, we're very sorry Naruto-kun." Then they both glared at each other.
Naruto let them go and slapped each girl on the butt earning him two squeaks of surprise. Glaring at each other the entire way both girls ran to the training grounds to finish their little argument
Naruto smiled as the two disappeared from view and grasped Ino's hand within his own "Come on Ino-chan let's see if we can get that paint out of your hair before it dries."
Ino nodded her head as she led Naruto into her family's flower shop where Inoria was working behind the counter. "Welcome to the Yamanaka Flower shop how can I help you?" she asked before looking up. "INO-CHAN WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR?" she screamed out in surprise.
Inoichi came rushing in when he heard his wife scream and stopped dead in his tracks "Ino-chan w-what h-h-happened t-t-t-to y-your h-h-hair?" he managed to stutter out.
Ino sighed "It was an accident really. I walked underneath a ladder and a bucket of paint fell on me. Now can you guys help me wash my hair out?"
Both of her parents nodded as they led Ino into the bathroom and began to wash out her hair. Meanwhile Naruto calmly flipped the open sign to closed and then took a seat on the couch in the living room.
30 minutes later
Ino, her hair a light pink, walked out of the bathroom her head hung in disappointment. "Well Naruto-kun I hope you don't mind pink hair for a while, too much seeped into the hair and now I have to same hair coloring as Forehead-girl."
Naruto smiled kindly and brought her into a loving embrace. "I'm hurt Ino-chan, you think I'm so shallow as to not like you simply because your hair is a different color for now?"
Ino smiled despite herself and snuggled deeper into his embrace "You're right…sorry I doubted you Naruto-kun."
Naruto chuckled "It's alright Ino-chan I forgive you."
Ino sighed happily as she felt herself falling asleep "I love you Naruto-kun" she then fell asleep in his arms.
Naruto smiled and kissed her forehead "And I love you Ino-chan." He lay her out on the couch and stood up. "Yamanaka-san! Where do you keep a spare blanket?" he asked as Inoichi's head appeared from behind a wall.
"Oh just open up the closet next to the stairs there should be one in there." Inoichi then went back to whatever he had been doing before.
Naruto brought the blanket out and covered Ino with it before walking out the door. "Now then I guess I should go get the girls…" His stomach growled loudly making Naruto blush "After lunch at Ichiraku's."
Making his way to the ramen stand Naruto noticed Hana walking with her three canine companions. "Oi! Hana-chan it's good to see you again!" he called out as he jogged up to her.
Hana turned around when she heard his voice and smiled brightly "Naruto-kun good to see you too!" her three dogs: Tentou (1), Koudo (2), and Naraku (3) all barked happily as he approached.
Petting each dog on the head he smiled "Hey I was just heading over to Ichiraku Ramen for lunch you want to join me?"
Hana blushed as she started to tap her fingers together "Uh…sure…I would like that a lot." Seeing this, her three dogs began to run around her barking in an oddly familiar teasing tone.
Hana blushed as she tried to get them to stop "Alright you three stop that!" they didn't stop. "If you don't stop your dinner portions get cut in half!" at once all three dogs sat down their tails between their legs as they whimpered out what sounded like apologies.
Naruto chuckled nervously as he watched Hana scold her three nin-dogs 'I'm not sure if I should tell her I understood every word those dogs said.' The words the three literally sang out ringing in his mind.
"Hana and Naruto sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in a rocking carriage!"
Naruto shook his head as Hana finished scolding the three dogs. 'I think there was more to that but I guess they forgot the rest so ended up just repeating that part.'
"Ready to go get lunch?" he asked with a smile.
Hana nodded her head and linked arms with him allowing him to lead her to the ramen stand. Her three dogs following behind giving the canine equivalent to a giggle the entire way, much to Hana's annoyance.
When they arrived Teuchi and Ayame smiled as the two sat down. "Well if it isn't lover boy Jr. what can I get for you?" Teuchi asked while Ayame giggled at her Father's choice of nicknames for the younger of the two blond boys.
Naruto blushed slightly at the chef's comment but made no motion to claim otherwise. "I'll take three miso ramen, three beef ramen, three chicken ramen, and three shrimp ramen old man!"
Hana and her three companions stared at Naruto in varying levels of disbelief. "Can you really eat all that Naruto-kun? Ah, I'll have one beef ramen please." After ordering she turned back to Naruto with a raised eyebrow.
One of Naruto's tails wrapped themselves around Hana's waist as he smiled "Of course I can eat it all." He sighed a little bit before he looked into Hana's eyes "Hana-chan, how do you feel about that whole arranged marriage thing your Okaa-san set up between us?"
Hana looked into Naruto's eyes 'He's really worried about this.' She noted. "I don't really mind it at all you're a likable guy, and it helps that you're good looking too."
Naruto smiled slightly "Does Kiba know about this yet?" he asked slightly curious as to how his friend would react to the news that he would be marrying his sister.
Hana nodded her head once "Yeah he knows, he started praying for your soul the minute he knew about the marriage arrangement." She cracked her knuckles. Naruto laughed nervously putting two and two together 'I hope Kiba isn't too hurt after that one.'
Just then their orders arrived and they began to eat. When Hana put her bowl down signaling she was done she glanced to her right where Naruto was sitting and went slack jawed. "How the hell did you finish all of those bowls by the time I finished my one bowl?" she shouted after a moment's silence.
Naruto laughed as he rubbed the back of his head "I eat fast, that's all!" he said happily.
Hana shook her head as did the three dogs sitting next to her stool. "Anyways back to the topic of our marriage. The only worry I have is how soon Okaa-san will want grandchildren, and how many she will want in the future."
Naruto sighed as he paid the bill as he and Hana left the stand, a smiling Teuchi and Ayame waving them off.
"So how soon does she want the first grandchild?" Naruto asked slightly worried that the answer would be something like next year.
Hana hung her head in depression "She wants a grandchild no less than a year after our wedding."
Naruto noted that the answer Hana gave him was very vague "So…when are we supposed to be married?"
Hana's head never left its depressed position "After the Chuunin exams. Okaa-san is coordinating the marriage with Hiashi-sama, Inoichi-san, and Zabuza-san for a quadruple marriage."
Naruto stood ram rod straight at the news "Wait I'm marrying four girls at the same time? How the heck is the Honeymoon supposed to happen then?"
Hana shrugged her shoulders "That… I don't know. Maybe we go to a nice resort and have a five person orgy?"
Naruto's blush covered his entire body as steam started to pour out of his ears, apparently his mind wasn't as used to perverted thoughts as his older brother's was. Soon his mind simply shut down and he fainted.
Hana stared at the body of her fiancé "Well…that could have been worse, don't you think so guys?"
When her three dogs nodded their heads Hana picked Naruto up and walked in the direction she knew the Kazama compound to be. As she walked she noticed the woman who had been hanging off of Kaoru's arm. "Hey can I get some help here?"
The woman turned and smiled as she jogged over to help Hana. "Who are you?" she asked politely
Hana smiled at the woman helping her towards the Kazama compound "Inuzuka Hana, Naruto-kun's fiancé"
The woman blinked rapidly before shaking her head "I'm Akane his sister-in-law. How did this happen?" she gestured to the unconscious Naruto.
Hana blushed and looked away. "I don't want to say." She muttered
Akane smirked "Well then I'll just hazard a guess. Judging by his appearance I'd say he fainted from some form of mental overload, there are no markings on his body so it wasn't pain, his face is still red; he was probably embarrassed by something, you're his fiancé so it probably had something to do with intimacy, he can take thoughts about normal one on one sex, so thus you must've talked about an orgy or bondage."
Hana and her three dogs stared at the fox like woman in awe. "How did you figure all that out with a glance?" Hana asked timidly.
Akane grinned roguishly "I've been teasing this kit since the time he could understand me. I know what pushes his buttons to get certain results." Akane grinned as she used her tails to push open the gates to let them in. Seconds later she did the same for the door.
Carrying him into his bedroom the two women set Naruto down on his bed and left to talk in the living room over tea.
After listening to Hana, explain how her relationship to Naruto started Akane grinned "So you're okay with an arranged marriage? That's good Naruto needs some love in his life. However, you'll have to clear this with Kaoru-kun as he is the head of the clan."
Hana nodded her head slightly "Yes we know that, but we've yet to see him, Okaa-san has only seen him once and that was during the council meeting."
Akane shrugged her shoulders "Well if you two marry out of love, it won't matter since then it's not a clan affair but a personal one."
Hana nodded her head in understanding that way would definitely be a lot easier to go with then an arranged marriage at this point.
As the two talked they never noticed Naruto walking down the stairs. "Hey nee-chan, Hana-chan I'm going to go pick Haku-chan, and Hinata-chan up I think they're still at the training grounds."
Akane nodded her head with a smirk as did Hana, while the three dogs barked happily in what Naruto understood as a farewell.
Naruto yawned as he walked towards the training grounds where he knew both girls to be. "Haku-chan, Hinata-chan time to go home!" he called out but received no reply.
Walking into a clearing Naruto smiled as he gazed upon the sight before him. Haku was laying to Hinata's side an arm draped across the younger girl's body. Hinata like wise had turned her body into Haku's. Both had burnt clothes, ruffled hair, and bruises all over their bodies.
Naruto chuckled "Haku probably won but used too much chakra and fell asleep next to Hinata." He mumbled to himself.
Sighing he used his tails to pick up Hinata and Haku. Sighing once more he made his way to the Hyuuga compound. 'Troublesome' he thought to himself.
As he neared the Hyuuga gates one of the guards ran up to him "What happened to Hinata-sama!"
Handing the unconscious girl to the guard Naruto rubbed his eyes "Sparring, she and Haku went overboard." He gestured to Haku for emphasis.
Nodding the guard brought Hinata into the compound as Naruto made his way back home. He ignored Akane, Tsuki, and Zabuza's questions and placed Haku in her bed before heading to his own. "Wake me up when dinner is ready okay?" he asked Akane before he closed the door and went to sleep.
With Kaoru and the Iwa team a few days later
Ishi (4), a middle sized man wearing the standard Iwa Jounin clothing with a scar across his forehead, was the Jounin-sensei for the single Iwa team participating in the Chuunin exams. He was now staring at his team's escort in fright, as was his three genin. Yesterday he had been suddenly engulfed in flames and now he was a completely different person from the one sent to escort them safely to Konoha.
Flashback!
They had been traveling for a day already and few words passed between the group of five people. Ishi and his team: Kenpei (5), Kyouko (6), and Ryou (7) had for the mist part ignored the man named Kaoru, whom they all thought was kind of creepy as his smile had never once left his face.
"Hey Sensei why do you think he has tails?" Kyouko, an abnormally normal looking girl, asked when Kaoru left to get some firewood
"I'm sure he has a reason, but remember he is Konoha Nin we could end up enemies in a heart beat."
Ryou and Kenpei, two twins, snorted at this "That pretty boy? No way I bet he can't fight his way out of a wet paper bag." They both muttered.
"I heard that!" a voice called from the forest behind them. Kaoru walked into sight holding some firewood.
Both boys mumbled an apology without meaning it, though Kaoru didn't really care. As they ate Kaoru noticed a presence surrounding them. Apparently so had Ishi.
"Ishi-san leave the annoyances to me I am afraid it is a personal matter that I must deal with." Kaoru then stood and walked away, however before he could leave the team's sight he was attacked by a figure wearing all black.
Killing his attacker Kaoru sighed "Now, now foolish rebels don't be so hasty to die." He said to the trees. And with that like magic five others appeared around him.
"Heh so the weak little half-blood thinks he can take us pure-bloods out does he?" the leader sneered while his followers grinned maliciously.
"Hey boss after we kill him let's kill those humans over there and fuck the girl until she dies." Minion number one stated licking his lips.
Kyouko paled as she tried to move away from them. Her teammates formed a wall in front of her to offer some sort of protection as the leader laughed.
"Good idea Gosu! Listen up boys the one who deals the killing blow gets first dibs on the girl!" there was a roar of approval.
Kaoru's head dropped as their words played through his head. He felt his hatred for them grow with each word, which was normal considering what those words were exactly, but he felt something else…a burning sensation.
Distracted by the new sensation Kaoru never noticed the fireball coming at him until he heard Ishi shout "Kaoru-san move!" Kaoru simply swept his hand in front of him extinguishing the fireball.
However much to the rebels' glee Kaoru's hand had caught fire and it was spreading quickly over the rest of his body. Kaoru smirked, as realization hit him. "Heh, never thought this would happen, a switch to a single emotion."
With that the fire completely engulfed him as the rebels shouted in victory while the Iwa team slowly began to back away hoping to get away. "Now for the girl!" The leader shouted and the team froze.
As the rebels moved in on them the one closest to the team burst into flames in screams of agony. Turning around the remaining four stood stock still as they gazed at the person they had just killed.
There was only one difference the man in front of them had fiery red hair that spiked up as if his head was a bed of flames, his eyes were charcoal black, and a scowl adorned his face.
"Alright mother fuckers who will die next!" he shouted at the four rebels. "No volunteers? Fine then you all can die together!" With a quick upwards motion all four remaining rebels were engulfed in flames.
Ryou stared at the man in front of them in awe "Who are you?" he whispered, this man had power, and power was always respected even if they were your enemy.
The man scowled "I am Kaoru no Gekido (8) don't forget it."
End flashback
Since then his team had learned that Gekido represented all of Kazama Kaoru's rage, and as a result had complete control over all non-demonic fire.
Ishi sighed "Not even into a week of the journey what's going to happen to us?" he mumbled to himself. Hearing him his team simply nodded in agreement.
"Hurry the fuck up! We're burning daylight here!" Gekido shouted over his shoulder as they headed towards their next destination: Kumo
End
Okay I hope you all liked that chapter.
Any other emotions that Kaoru will switch to is still undecided though one will be sadness.
I'll try to focus on Naruto though it's hard since Kaoru's trip is sort of important or rather it helps explain the reactions everyone has to him when they arrive at Konoha.
(1) Tentou - Heaven
(2) Koudo - Earth
(3) Naraku - Hell
(4) Ishi - stone
(5) Kenpei - power
(6) Kyouko - strength
(7) Ryou - endure
(8) Gekido - Rage
Thus Kaoru no Gekido means Kaoru's rage
