Another Path
Chapter 13
Yagura was shell-shocked, all this time that he had been 'asleep'; he had really been a puppet of some sick man's crazy desires. "I am sorry but that is all I can really say." The boy said as most of his soldiers went to home to rethink their lives. All that has happened over the years was just a sick lie to them.
"Well it does not matter at the moment. You are safe now." Naruto said as he took out some ink and a brush. "Yagura, I want you to join my group. There are others like us and I have found a few already. My girlfriend Fu, is one and the Kazekage's kid as well."
"I see….then I am in…..i wish to do good now." Yagura said as Naruto nodded and started to apply the seals. He then explained to everyone what was going to happen and about the what he thought was going to happen to him.
"Well, if that happens, I want you to visit us and when you get that Soul Village up and running; we would love to be your ally." Mei said with a smile.
"Thank you Mei-san and good luck with reforming this place…..you are going to need it." Naruto deadpanned.
"Yes well, we have been fighting for a long time so we should be able to do that." Ao said from his spot next to Mei, "On another note, you said you have a bloodline as well. What is it?"
Naruto smirked and said, "Actually, I got three." That made everyone's eyes widen. "You see, the seeing of the spirits is part of ONE of my bloodlines. That is called the Shinigami bloodline where it gives me the power of one. The Shinigami that you all are talking about is actually the King of the Shinigami."
"Wow!" Chojiro said widen eyed and pretty much said what was on everyone's mind.
"Yeah, the second is something that everyone knows. The energy that let Tsunade use her super strength, Physical Energy. Now, the Yellow Flash is the same case since he is my dad, but he had to create some kunai to direct himself to the spot he wanted to run to. I would not try without using the Kunai…..trust me." Naruto said while rushing his back, making everyone sweatdrop. "That is why I prefer to use Spirit Energy and use the Flash Step, oh, and could you NOT tell anyone that my father was the Yellow Flash."
"If that is what you want….." Mei said a little uneasy about being in front of the Yellow Flash's son. She did have to admit that that man go out a son before he died.
"Now, my third one is called the Uzugan! It let's be copy bloodline jutsu but not normal jutsu." Naruto explained. He looked at everyone to see that they all had flabbergasted expressions, but none more than Mei herself.
"Naruto…would your mother be Kushina Uzumaki?"
"Uh….yeah, how did you know?" asked the blond.
"Kushina and I were best friends back in Whirlpool Country. When it was destroyed, I thought I lost her, but I guess she lived. So how is she?"
"Uh….she died when I was born." Naruto said sadly.
"Oh….well I have some good news for you then." Naruto quirked an eyebrow at this. "She said that if she ever had a kid that I would be your Godmother and since I know you prolly got my bloodlines, here is a scroll for you to learn from." She said as she handed him and scroll full of jutsu, then she leaned in and hugged him. "You take care Naruto."
"Thanks Mei." Naruto said as he hugged her. Ao and Chojiro were happy that Mei had some family but Chojiro was a little peeved that Mei was a hugging someone other than him.
After that, he left through the gates, waving to his family in the Mist Village.
He had plenty of time to get back home; after all, the old man thought that this mission would take longer. So he decided to travel the border till he needed to get back.
3 days later…
Naruto sighed at the gloomy atmosphere of the Valley of the End. This place may have been the ending battle between Madara Uchiha and Harashima Senju but that was it, what ever happened between those two, pretty much kill the land.
With a shake of his head, he leapt away from that depressing place. As he was traveling, he sensed a few Hollows ahead of him and it seemed that they going after some high level shinobi. That was not good. Even high level shinobi had trouble with Hollows.
Naruto smirked as he raced through the trees. These hollows were starting to show themselves more and more. They were becoming pests that needed to just go away.
He reached the edge of the clearing to see that there were 15 hollows surrounding what looked to be an important caravan. He looked to see that they had Iwa's headband on. That made him hesitate for a few seconds before scowling. These guys were still human so it did not matter to him. They might still hate his father but that was no reason to hate his kid, especially if he saved them. He saw a couple of the hollow eat one of them whole and growled. Now was the time to help.
He used Flash Step to get over them to knock away a rather large hollow that was about to crush a very small old man. "Not while I am around!" He shouted and the large hollow curse.
"Damn you Shinigami…..no matter. You will die and no longer be a pain in our side." The leader of the hollows growled.
Of course the old man and his two remaining guards looked at the boy like he was nuts. "Boy, you should go. These monsters are not easily beaten!" the old shouted at the blond.
"Not so much old man." Naruto smirked as one of the hollows came straight at him. Naruto jumped up and took one of his swords out and stabbed it in the mask. It roared in pain as it dissolved into this air, much to the shock of the men behind him. "Their mask is their weak point."
"Very interesting." said a man with odd red body armor that covered most of his body. The man also had a large hat that had the same armor covering it. "So all we have to do it pierce their masks."
"Easy for you to say Han…." mumbled the other man with Iwa type armor and an odd dark mark across his face. "These things just killed all of our men."
"Roshi….you and Han are to help this boy in defeating these annoying creatures." The old man said.
"Yes Tsuchikage-sama!" Both men said, which made Naruto widen his eyes and then smirk.
"Well alright then!" Naruto cheered as he charged into the fray. As he fought his own group of hollows, he could not help but observe the other two fighters. The red armor one used steam based jutsu and was really cut throat with it as well. The other one used some odd taijutsu, making them back to each other before destroying them with a lava geyser of all things!
Naruto smirked as he slashed through two of the hollows before using his insane strength to punch the next one in face far far away. The last hollow he had to fight was the leader of the hollows.
"You are indeed skilled young Shinigami….but I am going to KILL YOU!" It yelled as it charged him.
"Riiight." Naruto deadpanned. "Come from the void of Nothingness, XEMNAS!" Naruto called out as he small blade morphed into his cannon blade. "This might be overkill but I wanna try it out. Four Element Destruction: Konoha, Mizu, Kumo, Iwa" Four large beams of energy shot out of the cannon blade, each with the four main elements surrounding them.
"HOLY SH-!" the beast yelled as it was swallowed up by the blast of energy.
As Naruto's sword went back to normal, the three Iwa shinobi walked up to the boy, a bit gob smacked that the boy had this much power. Finally, the old man spoke. "Boy. That was impressive. You also look like the Forth Hokage, are you his son?"
That was the big question. He could answer it in a few ways and anyone of them could get himself killed. So….he just decided to wing it. "Yes….yes I am."
There was a long silence before the old man smiled. "Good. Then I can finally tell someone from Konoha that we don't hate them. Besides, the Yondaime was a great shinobi! Most of the simple minded fools that hate Konoha are now missing ninja. Anyway, I am Onoki, The Tsuchikage."
"Oh right. My name is Naruto Uzumaki, Konoha's Shinigami."
"I always thought that Konoha's Shinigami would have been older. No matter, you saved us so what would you like for us to do for you?" Naruto was shocked at first but soon got over it as he began to think about it. "Uh….do you know any demon containers?"
The two men froze and looked at their Kage for an answer. "What would you need them for?" Onoki asked with a raised eyebrow. To this, Naruto started to explain everything again. At the end, eh could tell these three men were pissed off at Konoha but they could not do anything about it. Onoki agreed with the seals on the demon containers and that Naruto visit Iwa someday to set up the future alliance. After that, they left, bidding Naruto good luck on his quest.
Konoha….Danzo's hidout…
Danzo growled to himself as his 'son' left. He was losing the brat to Naruto of all people.
"Losing to that brat as well." came the voice of a very familiar Wing Tiger like hollow.
"Tigre Alado(Wing Tiger) it has been to long. What do you need?" asked Danzo, his anger gone.
"Master has sent me to the others. The time has almost come. We need to get stronger than we are."
"I see…..so he wishes that we speed up our progress. I have set up all the necessary thing to overtake Konoha….I just need to create a few of our bloodlines. I know these humans will turn on me so will create bloodlines in my soldier that I know will be loyal to me till the end."
"Very well…good luck with that. Besides you and your girlfriend will be more than enough to take this pathetic human hive over. Good Luck, Ahueque Raíz(Hollow Root)" Tigre Alado said as he disappeared.
"Homura, Koharu….let's get started." Danzo said as two zombie like council members walked in and Danzo just gave an evil smirk, not knowing what was going one above them.
Konoha…ground level…
Thing were a mess to say the least. Ninja who were able to fly by using some odd machines where attacking the village and everyone was in a panic.
Sora growled, he wished Naruto was back from the mist so that he could help but he wasn't so that was that. He and the others were able to fight a few of the ninja but these guys were tough! He soon came to a roof top that had Neji and Shikamaru. The three of them were watching the flying ninja retreat.
"What do you think is up with them?" asked Shikamaru.
"Simple….they ran out of chakra." Neji stated.
"Great, now we can plan a counter attack." Sora said.
"Right, let's go to the Hokage and ask what he thinks what we should do." Shikamaru said as the two other boys nodded.
With Naruto…..in a swamp
"Thank god for water walking…..who knows what kind of poisonous creatures are here." Naruto said as he walked along the water's surface. "I really don't wanna find out." He then decided to look up and to his surprise, a ninja was coming straight for him, fly thanks to some odd machine. He of course flipped out of the way when Kunai where thrown at him. "The HELL is wrong with you!"
"All Konoha ninja must die!" the flying man said.
"Yeah? Who says that?" Naruto replied.
"Says the people of Sky Country after our defeat in the second Great Shinobi War!"
Man these people know how to hold a grudge. Naruto thought as he woke up Kira. "Kira, let's fly!" The raven nodded as she melted into his back.
"The HELL!" yelled the Sky Ninja.
"Surprised? Well you baka's aren't the only ones who can fly!" Naruto said with a smirk as he had wind circling himself, effectively going into his Kajou Bouffu Ryu(Spiral Gale Fist). So with a sonic boom, he charged straight at the Sky Ninja frozen in fear. Since he didn't move, the man got his face caved in and twisted around as he was sent flying back.
"All Konoha Shinobi must die my ass!" Naruto said as he deactivated his wind taijutsu style and Kira fell asleep on his shoulder. "Nothing but a bunch of weirdo's who talk big." He then began to walk towards a village in the distance.
Another flying ninja, saw all this happening and flew off to tell their master of what he saw.
About half way to the village, Naruto decided to rest and check in with Konoha. "Sora….are you there?"
"Oh thank god Naruto! Where are you….we just got word that you helped Mist Village rather quickly. The hell are you?"
"Ah…." Yeah, that figures. "I ran into some Hollows that were attack the Tsuchikage's caravan. Didn't want Iwa to blame us for the death of their Kage."
"Right…the old man wants to know where you are right now." Sora said.
"Uh…near some village at the border….near a swamp." Naruto deadpanned and he knew that somehow that Sora was talking with the Kage.
"Ok Naruto. I will make this short. A bunch of Sky Ninja attack the village and we took some loses but not that much. However, a man named Shinno helped a lot of our injured and sighed that some of the Sky Ninja where attack that village you are headed to. He is worried abouthis student, Amaru, so the Hokage is sending a 3 man cell to protect him as he goes over there. He also wants you to protect this Amaru. He described her as a Tomboy."
"Sounds like a plan….oh and tell the old man that I just took out a Sky Ninja over here. Seems that they are attacking over here as well." Naruto commented
"Alright then…and remember this I an A ranked mission because they attacked us and all that." Sora said through the link before he cut it off.
"Hmm….i think I could use a little more help than that." Naruto thought through the link.
"What are you talking about?" came two voices that Naruto smiled at.
"Fu, Gaara…nice timing! Anyway, I am at the border of Fire Country near some village by a swamp. Apparently a group of Sky Ninja went and attacked Konoha…so they need me to protect some doctor's apprentice in this village since Sky Ninja are attacking over here…..oh joy. You wanna help?"
"Absolutely! I have been waiting to test out my new powers!" Fu said with a giddy smile.
"I am a bit far but I will see what I can do." Gaara replied with uncertainty.
"Well, I do know Konoha is sending a team over here to protect the doctor and if I know the old man, he will prolly send a team out to find and destroy the Sky Ninja's hidout."
"Right! We are on our way!" came three voices then two.
"Ok then….seems Yagura wishes to help as well." Naruto commented as he got back up and ran the rest of the way there.
A day later….with Konoha at the beach…
"Well….this is annoying. That jerk wants us to defeat a few of the Sky Ninja." Sai said to Sora. They were currently on a cliff, overlooking the massive ships that had all the Sky Ninja on them.
"Well, Shikamaru has a great plan, but am wondering if those birds of your will actually hold us." Sora commented.
"They will….I have rode on them before." Sai reassured him.
"Well…..I guess that is it then….let's go kick some ass!" Sora smirked.
"Very well." Sai replied as he drew up two large birds and the boy took off, causing mayhem to the Sky Ninja.
While that was going on, Shikamaru and Kakashi were observing from the beach. "The plan is going smoothly Shikamaru."
"Thank you….now our 4th member just needs time to prepare."
"Right…." Kakashi started to say before they felt a chakra presence coming out of the water. What they saw was a boy in green clothes with what looked to be a sword in his hand.
"I am not too late am I?" the boy asked.
"Uh….who are you?" Kakashi asked.
"I am Yagura, the former 4th Mizukage. I heard from Naruto what was going on so I decided to help. I think Fu and Gaara are coming as well….but I do not know if they are coming here or straight to Naruto." Yagura informed them.
"Troublesome blond….alright." Shikamaru said as he radioed his 4th member, telling them they had company that was friendly. Through all of this, Kakashi wondered what Naruto did to gain Yagura as an ally.
"Um, Yagura-san, if you were the Fourth, who is the Fifth?" Kakashi asked.
"Oh that is an easy one. Naruto's Godmother, Mei Terumi, is the Fifth Mizukage." Yagura replied to hear Shikamaru mutter troublesome while Kakashi had a flabbergasted look on his…uh face. Yagura just kept on smiling.
Konoha…
Hinata, Sasuke, and Sakura were the ones who were picked to protect the doctor named, Shinno. They wer already at the gates but Shinno seemed distracted for some reason. I wonder why you are not here….Naruto?
Sasuke gave Shinno an odd look as they left the Hidden Leaf Village.
Back with Naruto…
Our blond hero is walking through the streets of the village near the swamp. People took one look at him and then got back to what they were doing. It would seem that they have had odd people pass though through this place before. Not that it mattered to Naruto.
Since he didn't really know who the person he was trying to find so…he asked the nearest person to him. "Excuse me old man."
"What do ya want?"
"Well, I have been sent to protect some girl from a bunch of Sky Ninja….at least I think so." Naruto said airheadedly, making the old man sigh. "All that I know about her is that she looks like a Tomboy and her name is Amaru."
"Oh…her." The old man rolled his eyes and said, "Try the outskirts of the village….I think that silly girl wanted to check out something odd."
"Alright thanks." Naruto said as he left. Even though he got a very vague answer, it was a start. "Like Shikamaru says…troublesome."
Another day later…
The village was bigger than he thought but even though he circled the place, he went into the nearby swamp to see if she was in there. Eventually, he found her and she was in trouble. Sky Ninja were pursuing her. He smirked as he had the perfect entrance for this. He had kira merge with him and went wind style again. With a vicious smirk, he shot off toward her attackers.
As Amrau was running from her pursuers, she heard a rather large sonic boom. She turned to see a blond guy with black wings taking out her attackers with ease. In fact, all he did was use his swords to stab the thing on their back and it exploded, getting rid of the Sky Ninja. The boy then did a flip and land on his feet, his back facing her. Wow….
"Could have been a better entrance." Naruto said as he god back up, his wings turning back to Kira.
"Well maybe you should have back flipped so you were facing the flames…." Kira deadpanned.
"Yeah! I should have done that!"
Amaru couldn't help but fall anime style at the scene of Naruto talking with a Raven that could talk! "Uh…thanks for helping me, but….WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?"
As if just noticing her presence, he said, "Oh, name's Naruto Uzumaki. I was sent to protect you. Seems your master is worried about you."
"Oh." Amaru said as she blushed at the fact that her master was worried about her.(just look her up…..i am not describing her.)
"Ok…let's head back to your village because they are prolly already there." Naruto said as he started to walk away and Amaru followed.
Along the way, they talked about random things. He learned that she was a very good doctor but had very little training in the ninja arts. She only had enough training to defend herself from bandits. He could also tell that she had a crush on her master by the way she talked about him. He was glad but a bit freaked out that she was in love with an old man, but it was not his business.
When they finally got back, they smelled smoke. "That is never a good sign." Naruto said as Amaru ran into the village to see that buildings were on fire and no one was around.
"Hello? HELLO! IS ANYONE THERE?" The red haired girl yelled as she walked up the stairs to a higher level of the village. That was trap for as soon as she stepped on the last step, machines firing kunai shot all their kunai at her. Now Naruto may be fast but he could not get to her in time, but he did watch in shock as an old man ran with all his might to get the girl out of harm's way, but he took all the kunai himself. "SENSEI!" the girl cried as he fell down the stairs.
"Ah hell!" Naruto said as he ran over to them. This was not good. "Now I wish I was a medic nin."
"No need." came a familiar voice.
Naruto turned his head as he smirked at the forms of Sasuke, Sora, Sakura, and Hinata. "Oh thank god!"
"Yeah, Sakura does have some training in the medical arts so she is not totally useless." Sasuke commented.
"OH YEAH?" yelled Sakura as she bashed him over the head. "HOW 'BOUT NOW!"
"Please…we have a mission." Hinata said as he tried to calm them down.
"Those idiots." Naruto said as Sakura and Hinata began to check up on Shinno.
"What is up with you two?" Naruto commented.
"Hn." Sasuke said, much to the annoyance of Naruto.
In the end, it seemed that Shinno could not be saved. Amaru broke down but they helped her bury the man. Naruto stay with her for a bit but he still had to help clean up the village and look for the villagers.
They had all split up to find the village in the swampy areas around the village. He hoped Amaru would be ok; after all, she did lose someone she loved. Soon he came upon a mist covered clearing and just waited for one of the others to come. Sakura and Sasuke soon came to him.
"Naruto? What are you doing? How is your search coming?" Sakura asked.
"Guys…look." Naruto pointed to some ruins in the mist.
"What the…must be those ruins that Shinno talked about on the way here." Sasuke commented.
As they walked through the misty ruins, they noticed a lone figure just standing there. The mist cleared and they saw it was Amaru but something was wrong, she was acting differently.
"Amaru….what are you doing here?" Naruto asked.
She looked up and her eyes started glowing red, never a good sign. "I am Reibi" she said in a monotone. "When war fills the land, and the hearts of people are filled with darkness, I shall rise again."
"The hell are you talking about?" Sasuke asked. Naruto however was pale. The Reibi was the Zero Tailed Masked Leech….oh this was so not good!
"I will be born after eating the darkness in people's hearts, and my growth will know no bounds." She muttered as she shifted forms into the purple skinned leech itself. "Then I will rule the world!"
Back with Sora and the gang…
Sai was tiring out and Shikamaru know that. So he sent a signal to let Sai know he was done. The Ink Ninja sighed as he flew to the beach and ran into the forest behind the beach. That is where Shikamaru and Kakashi took care of the idiots who flew to the beach to kill them.
"So troublesome." Shikamaru sighed. "Now it is your turned 4th member."
Back with Naruto…
The Leech quickly swung both of its hands and swatted Sasuke and Sakura into a few rocks, knocking them out. The Leech then created multiple arms and quickly wrapped them around Naruto. "I sense that you had an evil power but it is gone now…..why did you get rid of it? I wanted that power!"
"Argh! Too bad for you, you freak! Wind Style: Blade Burst!" called out as blades of wind formed on his person then blasted outward, shedding his fleshy captor.
"You cannot win…you are a failure in life…you will lose!" ranted the Leech.
"Oh shut up!" Naruto yelled as he charged the beast only for it to whack him into some rocks with its regrown arms. "Oh come on!"
"Lead the Insects: Konchuu kisaki(Insect Queen)!" came a very familiar voice to Naruto as many different kinds of insects started to swarm the giant Leech. Naruto turned his head to see, Fu, his girlfriend.
"Nice timing…" Naruto said as he got up.
"Thanks but I am not the only one, Gaara also hulled his ass over here too." Fu said with a smile.
Before Naruto could say anything, he heard the monotone of Gaara, "Protection of the Sands: Metaru tai Sabure (Metal Forming Sands)." With that, a huge wave metal sand formed into flying spikes to impale the annoying Leech.
"Nice turn out you two." Naruto commented as got back up, but saw the monster Leech reforming itself. "Oh this is getting us nowhere fast." Naruto deadpanned.
"What do you suggest Naruto?" Fu said a little freaked out by this thing.
"She is like a demon container….we just have to get through to her." Naruto said as the other two nodded in understanding. They didn't know the girl that much, they elected Naruto to do it. "Right thanks." Naruto deadpanned before he turned back to the possessed girl. "Amaru! Amaru, wake up! Aren't you supposed to be Shinno pupil! Come on, you gotta obey your senei's teachings so get out of your funk!"
A monotonous "Shinno-sensei" was heard as the evil leach dissipated to reveal the girl named Amaru, but then she passed out.
"Well…at least she is ok." Naruto commented.
After a bit, she woke thankfully. Naruto had made some clones to gather Sasuke and Sakura. The real Naruto waked over to the shaken girl and put a hand on her shoulder. She seemed to be out of it and Naruto said, "Hey, you ok?" It seemed like touching scene so Fu got a little jealous but kept control, it would not do well for Naruto if she killed someone he was supposed to protect.
Naruto smiled and said, "You did well. I am glad you came back to us. That is prolly what Shinno would have said."
"Yeah…" she muttered as she wiped some tears away.
At that moment, Sasuke and Sakura were waking up. As soon as Sakura saw that 'Naruto' was holding her, she freaked out and punched him into a tree, making him go poof. Sasuke just flicked the Naruto clone and made it disappear so he could get up.
"You two ok?"
"Yeah….what happened?" Sasuke said.
"Not entirely sure how it happened but thankfully, it is over!" Naruto said as he gave a bright smile. "OH! These two are Gaara from Suna and Fu from Taki." Naruto introduced his two friends to the two members of team 7.
"Oh…so this is your girlfriend." Sakura said teasingly.
"You got a problem with that pinky?" Fu said with narrowed eyes.
"No….I was just teasing Naruto, sheesh." Sakura said.
Before they could say anymore, the ground shook violently. Naruto decided to go into the ruins to see what was up, Amaru also wanted to but Sakura and Fu said not but Naruto said it was ok, so Gaara went in with them.
"Jeez…" Sakura said.
"Well…let's go find those villagers." Fu ordered.
"Hn." Sasuke replied as they left the site. Naruto has the weirdest tastes in girls. thought Sasuke as they started to leave only for the ground to shake yet again but a whole lot more violent. They turned and saw something they would never see in their lives. The ruins were rising out of the ground!
"What the fuck!" Fu yelled the thing that was on everyone's mind.
"Naruto!" All the three of them yelled.
With Shikamaru…
"It is about time." Shikamaru muttered. "The enemy's preparations should nearly be complete, so we will be facing an all-out attack."
"There is no need for you to worry about that." came another voice coming out of the water. "That is because is it unfathomable for me to fail."
Shikamaru just smirked at the form of Shino. Then they heard a rumbling sound as the ships were falling apart thanks to Shino's metaling eating bugs. When it seemed that the ships would be unable to move and pretty much not repairable, Shikamaru told Shino to call off his bugs. It was Yagura's turn.
The Nara nodded to Yagura, who was already on the water, when he saw all the bugs in the air. Yagura nodded back as he began some hand signs. "Water Style: Serpents of the Maelstrom!" Soon, a very large maelstrom appeared and began to suck in the ships, but that was not all. Serpents made of water broke through the remaining ships, destroying them further. Soon there were no ships left as the jutsu dissipated, all except for the large pieces of metal floating on the surface.
Their job was done for now, they hope the others were doing as well as them.
Back with Naruto…
On the floating ruins, Naruto, Amaru, and Gaara were sneaking around the place as to not get caught by some random Sky Ninja. This place was not for Konoha, that was for sure. "I can't believe we are flying in ruins no less!" Amaru commented
"I agree." Gaara replied.
"I have seen it all now." Naruto deadpanned, "But we will be ok…trust me."
After that, they ran as fast tas they could through the place, looking for the guy who was controlling things. They soon came upon a light at the end of the tunnel, only to be stopped by some Sky Ninja, which Naruto and Gaara took care of pretty easily. As soon as they entered the next room, Naruto and Amaru froze in place, too shocked to do anything, while Gaara was just confused.
"Well done, you two."
"I….I knew it! I knew it!" Amaru called out as she ran to the person of the voice…Shinno. Naruto, however, was rooted in place. She leapt into the man's arms and cried, "I believed it!, I believed there was no way you would die."
"Uh….why are you here mister." Naruto said as he walked forward. "What is the meaning of this?"
The man smirked and said, "There is only one way I could be in this place, Ancor Vantian. I guess simpletons like you would not get it." At this, Amaru's eye's widened. Her master never talked like this. "It may look like some flying ruins, but it is Sky Country's greatest creation! The best weapon of mass dectruction!"
"But wait…you got hit but all those kunai!"
"Naruto, he faked his death!" Kira spoke up from his shoulder. "It would seem was playing us all!"
"Heh, seems that bird figured it out! In any advent, she is correct. It was easy to fool Sakura and Hinata into thinking I was dead." While I was 'gone', I just had to repair my organs with the Body Revival Jutsu!" At this, Amaru had a shocked look on her face as she looked up to see that her master had an evil look on his face.
"Never heard of it…..must be some forbidden crap!" Naruto growled out. He was beginning to hate this guy.
"I see…" Gaara finally spoke up. "You are with these people….you were playing us the whole time."
"You are correct Gaara." Shinno smirked as he grabbed Amaru's head and threw her toward the two boy, which she just crashed into Naruto.
"Ah hell…" Naruto said as he slowly got up, making sure not to hurt Amaru, but it seemed that she was in shock as he was still as stone.
"You see, all I wanted for 14 years was to gain the power of the Reibi as my own, this girl was just a pawn!" laughed Shinno. "I found Amaru and I found what I was looking for in Konoha." He then began to rant on about the power of the Reibi and the Dark Chakra is control. When Amaru called out to her master on last time, he mocked her telling her that love and crap like that is useless. It looked like it broke the girl.
That was all it took was all it took to make Shinno surrounded in Dark Chakra. Naruto stayed back to see what would happen and was kind of freaked out because Shinno was transformed into a huge man like looked like a muscle builder and his hair was now black. "This is the power of Dark Chakra and the Body Revival Jutsu! THIS IS MY POWER!"
Naruto had enough and charged him with Gaara. They both punched him in the face, it didn't seem to do anything to the man. "My turn!" Shinno yelled as he rushed the two boys and beat the shit out of them.
"Aw…hell." Naruto said, trying to get back up and saw that Gaara looked knocked out. "Damn you!" Naruto yelled as he created a massive amount of clones only for them to be destroyed by some odd dark wave that Shinno made. Through the smoke, he was able to get another punch in but Shinno was once again unaffected. Shinno smirked and punched Naruto into a wall.
The large man then sat down in a large throne and said, "So, this chair was meant for the prefect bodied king!"
"LIKE HELL," Naruto started as he got pissed off and started beating Shinno into the ground, "I WOULD ACCEPTED YOU AS A KING!" He then ended with a rasengan to the man's face. He then went over to see if Amaru was ok, but like usual Shinno got back uo to explain that his jutsu was reforming his body over and over. The man then blasted Naruto to the throne via his Super Revival Fist. After few more rounds of beating the shit out of each other up, Shinno knocked Naruto back over to Amaru.
"The power of love is weak! Destruction is power!"
"You idiot, love is stronger! I love my teacher, my friend, Fu-chan, so much that it hurts!" Naruto yelled at the man.
"Then let's hear it! What did Amaru;s love turn into!" Shinno yelled which made Amaru look up. "In the end, she will just be hurting y-"
"Shut up!" Naruto yelled, through with this crap as he charge the man again, only to blown back by some dark energy.
"Naruto?" Amaru asked as he saw Naruto just lying there. "My…my power…"
"That…didn't hurt at all!" Naruto yelled as he slowly got back up.
"Naruto!" Amaru said surprised.
"Here I come!" Naruto yelled at Shinno and charged him yet again, only to be beat down again.
"Revival Fist!" Shinno called out and sent Naruto back to Amaru and thankfully she caught him and glared at the large man.
Shinno laughed and said, "You have that look in your eyes, Amaru. Don't forget your hated…and never forgive me!"
Amaru the took out a scalpel but began to cry as a memory came to her.
"Amaru, I can still fight." Naruto mumbled as he slowly got back up. "I don't mind that your sad or frustrated. You can't hold it in, right? And I'll…take it all for you…..that is my job after all." Amaru just stared in shock at her protector, the tear running down her face. Naruto then turned to Shinno. "Don't move, I am going to kick your ass!"
Amaru start to whipher, "Naruto, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" She then brought her scalpel to her neck in a stabbing motion and attempted to stab herself, but Naruto stopped her with his arm, getting him stabbed instead.
"What's wrong? Don't do that!" Naruto said weakly, "You gotta keep on living. That's way… That's way…you have to tell him goodbye." He then smiled brightly and said, "You have not told him yet, right? How you really feel? You...tell him, ok?'
"Yeah." She said quietly as she began to help Naruto with his wound in his arm. As she was doing that, she began to tell talk about how she was praise by her master and thought she was beautiful, greatly annoying Shinno.
"I have…always love you sensei!" She yelled out only for the jerk to start laughing like crazy.
Naruto had enough of this and he began to really gain some strength and punch the shit out of Shinno, yelling at himabout forcing his ideals onto Amaru. "I will never forget you for that!" Naruto yelled and was going to send a Rasengan to the man but was cut off by a loud sound wave! A ninja a in purple outfit but no head band had interrupted the fight.
"What the hell!' Naruto yelled out, and secretly, Gaar send a few sand needles to Shinno to weaken him.
"I have come here for the scroll." The new guy said.
Shinno slowly got back up and smirked, "So, Orochimaru wants more of the scroll huh….well here!" He then opened a compartment and threw a scroll to the man and then he fell through a hole in the ground, letting him escape. He knew that somehow, he was beaten because he could not use chakra like before, besides he now looked like a very weak old man thanks to Gaara. "Not yet! It is not over yet!" They heard him yell.
The new ninja just sighed before disappearing before he could be questioned.
"Alright, Amaru, I am going after him. Now we might be able to save him, you can just give up later if ya want, now let's go find him and the villagers!" She nodded and they split up to find the villagers and Shinno. What She found was all the villagers and Hinata in some holding cell!
Naruto and Gaara found the passage to Shinno, who using the room he was in to suck all the chakra in the area and help himself to turn into the leech itself. They cursed at this fact and well there was not much they could do. Then Gaara had an idea and sent a crap load of chakra to the Leech and Naruto caught on, send a massive amount of his own chakra to the beast, over loading it and pretty much destroying it from the inside out, and in the process, killed Shinno.
Though the decrepit old man did tell them that even didn't know what was going to happen. Naruto curse and told Gaara they needed to get out of there and he agreed. They ran for all they were worth, of course the remints of the Leech were going crazy in the place.
Once they were at the entrance, they saw Amaru and all the villager plus Hinata in some boat looking thing. "Oh thank god you guy are ok!" Naruto called out when he saw them.
Hinata looked and said, "Naruto-kun!" along with Amaru.
Naruto looked around and saw a lever of some sort that probably launched the boat off the flying vessel they were on. So he ran over to it and he heard Gaara yell from the boat, "Naruto, what are you doing!"
"Heh, someone has to get you guys off this thing and destroy it! Besides, if my eyes are not playing trick on me….we are over water and you don't do so well with water."
At this, Gaara looked over the boat and indeed see the water. Now Gaara is usually stoic about a lot of things, but water in not one of them. "WATER! I CAN'T SWIM! AAHH!" he started freaking out and it took Hinata to calm him down.
"Don't worry, I will be back….that is a promise." Naruto said, getting everyone's attention again as he pulled the lever.
"NARUTO!" Amaru yelled as the boat went soring down.
Naruto just smiled as he began to destroy the place with well-placed Rasengans.
Down on the beach…
At first they were shocked that a huge fortress was flying over them, but now they are not that surprised that Naruto is blowing it up with his powers.
"Troublesome blond." Shikamaru said from his spot on the beach.
"What do you expect from him." Sakura muttered.
"Nothing less." Fu smiled while the others laughed.
"We should move." Kakashi said as the other agreed.
Back with Naruto
"I can't keep this up!" Naruto panted from his position in the middle of the fortress. He then thought to use just one Rasengan to get rid of this place once and for all. "This do this, here is a taste of my new jutsu!" He yelled as he charge a Rasengan but kept on feeding chakra to it and eventually, it turned pure white as no one could see through it. "Time to end this! Hurricane Rasengan!" Just as he touched the ground with it, the affect was intant. There was a large white explosion that shifted into a pure chakra hurricane with Naruto as the eye of the storm.
"Holy shit." Sakura yelled from her spot on the ground.
"Great….another troublesome jutsu." Shikamaru commented.
"Wow!" Fu said with sparkles in her eyes.
Natuto, however, was not falling and it seemed that the blast stunned little Kira so he would not be able to use her to fly down. "Ah….crap, and I have not perfected the flying part of my wind style taijutsu…oh well, not like I have a lot of energy at the moment." He muttered as he started shooting down to the ground.
Amaru, having gotten out of her aw at the attack that Naruto had used, used a spar flying machine to save Naruto. Of course it was not fast enough to get to him, so she got rid of it and catch Naruto as they spiraled downward.
"Amaru, don't be so reckless." Naruto said tiredly.
"Just who do you think is being reckless, Baka" She replied.
"Heh…touché." Naruto commented, "At least I won't be alone on my way down."
"I won't…leave you alone." the girl said as she held on tight to him. "I'll stay with you."
"Thanks…" said Naruto, he then took a chance. "Hey Amaru, want come back to Konoha with us, you can be on me and Sora's team.
"I would love too." She said with a smile as they clashed into the water.
