What if Naruto had a hidden power that came to be when he fought Mizuki, a bloodline he never knew of? Then he would be known as the Kaze no Arashi, the Wind Storm!

Chapter 33:

The Sage and the Rogue: The Sennin Mode Training Complete!

Uzumaki Naruto breathed out a bit as he looked at Fukasaku, his stance focused and poised. He and the toad started to jump and attack with Frog Kata in the sky, almost like dancing in the blue ocean in the air. Fukasaku smiled at Naruto's progress, looking at the boy from in the air, surrounded by the beautiful baby blue sky. Naruto smirked at Fukasaku when he almost got in a good punch.

"Nice jumping you did there," the toad said, still smiling and looking at the Uzumaki. "It seems you are getting even better at Frog Katas as well."

Naruto was still smirking as he made the familiar cross seal hand sign. Shadow Clone Technique!

A clone in Sennin Mode appeared in front of him as he went onto the clone's back and moved forward. Jumping from the clone's back, Naruto rose as the clone began to fall down. "I'm not nearly done yet!"

Naruto landed a really good punch, pushing the toad away as he started to fall. The two landed on the ground, breathing a little heavily.

"You've got Frog Katas and some of the Sage Techniques mastered to some degree," Fukasaku said, smiling at the shinobi. "We'll take a break to relax and figure out what we can do next, Naruto-chan."

"Perfect timing, then…"

Naruto and Fukasaku looked at the source of the voice to see Jiraiya standing there, smiling at his pupil.

"Shima-sama wanted me to come get you to eat." Naruto's face paled at the mention of eating the food of the toad's yet again. "Come on in…"

Fukasaku and Naruto went into the kitchen with Jiraiya as Shima was there, standing by the stove. Naruto and Fukasaku sat by the table and Shima noticed she didn't have enough ingredients nor needed fresh ones. She grabbed a basket and looked at the three at the table, drinking their liquid refreshment.

"I'm going to go get some more fresh ingredients." She winked at them, making Naruto make a very pale face.

Fukasaku just smiled and called out, "Be sure to bring back some hearty stuff!" When she left, Fukasaku looked seriously at the pupil of Jiraiya. "Now, while she's gone, let's discuss some things about Sage Mode."

Naruto noticed how serious he looked and knew to listen in. "You're so serious all of a sudden; what is it?"

"It's about the risks of Sennin Mode…" Jiraiya said as Naruto looked at his teacher and Fukasaku nodded and gestured for Jiraiya to explain it. "I guess you were able to tell that you couldn't be in Sage Mode for an extended period of time. In order to gain natural energy, you have to stand still, leaving yourself open to your enemy's attacks. So, you have to have something, an ally, to help you remove this risk. In this case, it would Fukasaku-sama by fusing together at your shoulder."

"I see…" Naruto said, thinking about everything.

"This is so Fukasaku-sama will help you gather natural energy. That way you will be able to use Sennin Mode without worrying about risks."

"Alright! Then, let's do that!" Naruto said, putting his fist into his open hand, a smile on his face, ready to get this mode down completely and be able to use it.

"You say I shall perish…? We'll see…" Takeshi said, looking at his opponent and pulled out his two entirely black katanas as he charged at the rogue shinobi. The rogue was shocked when the blades that the Bushido held started to make his creations turn into their liquid form, not strong enough to keep their shape. Cursing, Ketsu backed away, the liquid, crimson life staining his palms as he used it and more of his blood from a small open cut to create a hardened crimson blade. "You really think your blade will be able to cut through mine, Ketsu?"

"We will see…," Ketsu merely said as he charged at the samurai yet shinobi. He struck at Takeshi, only to be parried by one of Takeshi's blades, and scowled at seeing the Iwagakure headband on the man's forehead, pushing his blade harder toward his enemy, trying to get an upper hand, only to see the enemy raise his other blade, ready to strike.

Ketsu merely smirked as he made his blood sword turn into a liquid, splattering all over the shinobi. He looked at Takeshi, confidently and arrogantly, as he knew he had this man beat.

"It's already over, Bushido Takeshi, the Kuroi Akuma… You put up a better fight than most of my opponents, getting a few damaging hits on me, making me lose some blood that will never go back into my body when it falls on the ground or another person, disarming me. You definitely live up to your title with those blades you hold…" Ketsu chuckled at the sight before him, the man that would fall onto his knees because of him. "But your title is the only thing you will be able to grip onto for help now for your life will end!"

Ketsu backed away and made a hand sign with a wicked grin on his face. "Farewell, Black Demon! Farewell, Bushido Takeshi…!" Right as he was about to trigger the jutsu that would take the life of one of Iwa's greatest shinobi, he felt a blade, no, two blades pierce his lower back, grazing his stomach, but not cutting it. "Damn it!" Ketsu went out of the blades, the hand sign still in place as the wounds healed, though some blood leaked out onto the forest floor and he looked at the figure that pierced his body. "Who the hell are you…, boy?"

The figure showed itself along with a man, a young woman, and another young man like the figure. The figure had a serious face on as he stared down at Ketsu. "Bushido Kisuke…, your undertaker…"

Uzumaki Naruto stood, looking down at a worn Fukasaku. The toad got on his shoulder and touched his shoulder with his amphibian hands and made those hands into a hand sign together. They both had their eyes closed as he did his technique to fuse them. He kept feeling something dark and violent behind him as he tried to fuse to Naruto. The only thing was that he could feel what was lurking, not wanting the fusion to happen, the Kyuubi no Yoko. He disengaged from Naruto's shoulder, falling to the grassy ground below and weakly looked at Naruto.

"Looks like it is of no use…" The frog said, weakly in disappointment as Naruto cursed, not being able to use the Sennin Mode properly. "It seems to be because the Nine Tailed Demon Fox inside you has rejected me, not wanting me to fuse with you at all."

Naruto scowled, feeling as worn as Fukasaku, leaning against a tree and, then, standing up. "I can't give up! I need to succeed or I'll never become Hokage… I need to show I can stand by my way of the shinobi, my nindo!" Naruto put his fist to his chest. "I need to show the shinobi world what I am capable of!"

Fukasaku smiled at Naruto, seeing the resemblance between the chunin's and the Gama Sennin Jiraiya's attitudes and views on their way of the ninja, their nindo. They believe in the same thing. He wondered if this was Jiraiya's influence or just how this boy came out to be. The old toad started to frown shortly afterward. "While I love your enthusiasm, Naruto-chan, this is impossible, like looking left while looking right."

Naruto's eyes widened and his fist went into his open hand. "You'll be surprised then, when I make the impossible, possible, Fukasaku-sama!" Fukasaku looked intrigued and confused at Naruto when he made a shadow clone. "The shadow clones I have will enable me to go into Sennin Mode for longer if I find a way to summon them onto the battlefield or wherever I need them. It will make me go past the time limit I can be in this mode without having to fuse to you."

"Indeed, that may work. We'll have to test it out. We can summon you back near Konoha to see if it works by linking your Sage Mode clones that will be on Mount Myoboku to a summoning scroll. Though, you will probably not be able to do this every time you need Sage Mode."

Naruto nodded. "Yes! Let's try it!"

Uzumaki Naruto stood confidently with a huge scroll on his waist, a short-sleeved red coat with black flames licking the bottom of the coat, on the hemline. He had his eyes opened suddenly, the eyes of a Gama Sennin. He looked at Fukasaku as he felt the Sage Mode wear out, his eyes changing back to his piercing cerulean color. He grabbed the giant scroll, opening it and putting it on the ground. There was a symbol at the center of a circle as strings of symbols branched out of the circle like rays of the sun. Naruto made a series of hand signs and put his hands onto the circle, the center of the scroll. Suddenly, a clone of Naruto appeared, dressed exactly like him, and, just as suddenly, disappeared. Naruto felt the chakra go back to him, like the experiences of the clones, and his eyes gained back the power of the Mount Myoboku sages.

Fukasaku smiled, "I see that it works completely and that you have mastered Sennin Mode completely; not toad parts on your body."

Naruto just smiled and clenched his fist, proud of his accomplishment, ready to prove the shinobi world what he was made of.

Ketsu looked at Kisuke and, then, the sky overhead, cackling in disbelief until he stopped to smile wickedly and move his head back down to look back at Kisuke. "You, be my undertaker? You sure love to make me laugh!" He made a hand sign and a blood clone formed with a blood sword in its hands as he also had one. "We'll have to see about that one, boy…"

Kisuke flashed through hand signs with Kitsuchi as Kitsuchi put his hands onto the ground and Kisuke threw a kunai and made a hand sign.

Earth Release: Rock Shelter!

Kunai Clone Technique!

Two rock dome shelters surrounded Ketsu and his clone, leaving only an opening for the kunai to go into as they duplicated and went into the opening to stop the clone and pierce Ketsu. Ketsu winced at the sting of the kunai, noticing they were poisoned.

Damn it all to Hell! These shinobi aren't pushovers! They also have gotten me while I was weakened by that damned bastard, the Kuroi Akuma! Really?

"I understand that if you run out of a certain amount of blood; you will die just like any other shinobi. Also, if we hit your heart or other vital organs good enough, you will end up dead, correct?"

Ketsu was shocked by the Kuroi Akuma knowing this, even if he was an expert shinobi. "How do you know about my weaknesses, you bastard? Spill it!"

"Oh, so they are your weaknesses? I didn't think you would just blurt that out like that." Ketsu's eyes widened as he made a hand sign, transforming into blood and slipping from the rock shelter he was trapped in. He went back into his original state, looking more pissed than ever, scowling at the Iwa shinobi. "Ah, you look mad now…"

"Shut up, you fucking asshole!" He continued to scowl at the man as he made a hand sign. "Time to end your life while that blood is still on your body!" Suddenly, the blood became a spear that pierced Takeshi's chest, causing him to choke up and blood came out of his throat in a crimson splatter. Ketsu had a sadistic grin on his face, seeing the sad faces of Takeshi's students, gasping and running to their sensei, except for Kisuke. "Now, you see who has the last laugh! Farewell, Bushido Takeshi!" He looked at the approaching Kisuke, whose head was still down, looking at the bloody ground below. He smirked at the boy. "What do you want, kid?"

"You dead!" Kisuke charged with his sword drawn, stabbing Ketsu in his stomach. Ketsu coughed blood onto Kisuke's shoulder and smirked as he went out of Kisuke's blade's reach and made a handsign, the sword wound healing perfectly.

"You are such a fool!" Ketsu laughed. "Time to meet your end like your sensei!"

"Kisuke, no!" Hikari said, running toward her teammate.

Ketsu laughed manically. "Die, Bushido Kisuke!" The blood on Kisuke's shoulder became a spear, piercing clean through his shoulder, blood coming out of his mouth as he secretly smiled.

"We'll see about that…"

Suddenly, Kisuke turned into a puff of smoke to show that it was really a clone and suddenly, a very shocked Ketsu felt cold steel pierce his heart; crimson life flowing out of the organ, stopping its functions. Ketsu gasped his last breath before falling over to see that both Kisuke and a weakened Takeshi with both of their blades covered in his blood. Ketsu slowly closed his eye, cursing Kisuke and Takeshi, before smiling a devilish smile, his hand sign made.

Takeshi felt the blood on his chest suddenly change into a ball of spikes, surprising him as it pierced his body in multiple places. Slowly, the streams of crimson life flow out of the holes of his body as he slowly fell to the ground. He looked at the yelling face of Kisuke and softly smiled sadly, slowing closing his eyes' connection from the world, embracing the comforting darkness that awaited him.
