Let's get this story going! I tried really hard to make this as good as possible, but it probably isn't. Sorry if that's the case. I only get to write when I'm half-asleep so that doesn't help much. Leave me a review of what you think please! Also, I LIED. I don't only get to write when I'm half asleep. I'm in school as I'm writing this sentence as it is.
Disclaimer: Last disclaimer I'm posting. I might add one to the end of my bio, probably will, but still. I don't own any rights to Naruto except the powers I plan to give him, and even most of those I got help with from a friend. I also own this storyline, which I got help on with from said friend.
Hello, I'm Ian, the co-author of this story and, of course, the friend mentioned in the paragraph above. In this story, I have supplied many ideas that pertain to the central plot, I will be writing out most of the fight scenes, and I will help with organizing the plot as a whole. Enjoy.
P.S. I don't agree much with how he did this fight scene, but this one was actually his idea, so... I will be going through later ones, with him present, and probably tweaking things I find especially terrible.
P.S.S. I forgot to say this before, but this story is in parts for a reason. We haven't worked out all the specifics, but later parts will be cross-overs. Each one will have it's own story-line following that, so none need to be read together. Thanks, now on to the story!
Whirlpool's Unwelcomed Guest
*Thud*
The sound of three of Konoha's most powerful shinobi landing on their asses in the middle of some place they did not know was not very loud, but it could be noticeable to the trained ear. They quickly gathered themselves and tried to survey the area.
"Good going, Dobe. What'd you do that for? Now we're stuck in the middle of a ghost town."
"Shut up Teme. I don't know what happened. It was like I had no control over my body," Naruto said as he was looking around. He noticed that the symbol that was on the tree was on the majority of the rubble in the desolate village. "Those symbols, they were on that tree, weren't they? It's the same as on my jacket. Ero-Sennin, you got this for me, do you know what it means?"
"Tch, figures. He picks now to be vigilant. No point lying." "It's the Uzumaki symbol. We are in what used to be the Whirlpool Villa-" A shuriken whistled through the air and landed with a small thud directly in front of Jiraiya, effectively shutting him up and drawing his attention.
"You three," said a ninja from on top of a mostly intact wall, "Get out of my home or I will kill you." He proceeded to pull out five more shuriken and two kunai from the holster on his leg. The shuriken sailed through the air at an intense speed towards Jiraiya with a great whirring sound.
"We did not come here for trouble, it was j-," Jiraiya tried to interject, but stopped to dodge the incoming shuriken. He dove to the left behind a large pile of rubble and prepared for a counterattack against this unknown enemy.
The ninja reached into his holster and removed a scroll. He lashed out his left hand, which held the scroll which unraveled in the air while he used a one handed handsigns to trigger the scroll's effect. From the scroll, a near endless onslaught of ninja tools flew towards Sasuke and Naruto, who both dove away and took cover against the attack.
"I have warned you, shinobi," the ninja hollered at the top of his lungs, "Now, time for you all to die!" With a flick of his hand, he slipped a kunai from his sleeve into his hand and rushed towards the hiding spot of Jiraiya. The ninja leaped up on the pile of rubble and threw the kunai down on Jiraiya's position with malicious intent. But, Jiraiya wasn't there. The kunai only made a loud thud as it struck the ground in a space that should have been occupied.
From out of nowhere, Jiraiya dove out at the ninja and delivered a swift punch to the back of the mysterious ninja's head. The ninja flew forward several hundred feet from the spot with a loud slamming sound upon impact with the ground.
Jiraiya approached the ninja cautiously and readied himself for the slight possibility of a counterattack. He lifted up the arm of the ninja only to see it flop back on the ground, and proceeded to check the pulse.
"He's out cold. Tie him up and grab his weapons. We don't want any surprises. Sasuke, go look for anyone else."
"Hmph," Sasuke responded as he put his hands in his pockets, leaped on to what used to be a store, and jumped off to search for other ninjas in the area.
"Well whatever was wrong with their attitudes seems to be fixed, but now I'm stuck with the brooding Uchiha again. I don't know which one is worse." Jiraiya thought in his head as he started looking around to see if there were any seals or anything on the ground that could have brought them there.
"Sleep tight," Naruto said as he finished with the rogue ninja. He saw Jiraiya looking at the ground and walked over to him. "What now, Ero-Sennin? How much further away from Konoha are we?"
"For now, we need to search the village to see if there are any enemies nearby, then find out how we got here, and we will go from there." Jiraiya said as he stopped looking at the ground and stood up. "Split up and look for mo-"
"Get over here! I found something!" Sasuke's scream was heard by Naruto and Jiraiya who grabbed kunai as they started to head to his voice. After about a minute they found an almost completely intact building, but one of the corners was destroyed. Sasuke's shout of "Hurry up!" alerted them that he had gone inside the building, so they did.
"Hey, Teme, where are you?" Naruto said once he entered the building, which had an flags with the Uzumaki symbol everywhere, an alter in the front, and a few worn out mats near it. "Is this a shrine or something?" Naruto asked as he looked to Jiraiya.
"I don't know Gaki, just pay attention. Yo, Sasuke, where are you? I can't sense your chakra." Jiraiya said as he looked around the place.
"Try checking the giant ass hole behind the alter. I can't use chakra at all down here. No wall walking, enhanced jumping, or fire jutsu to see what the hell this place is."
Naruto frowned and said "Hold on, I'll toss you a torch." As he reached into his pouch and pulled out a scroll. He opened and read it until he found "Torch" and put some chakra into the seal. Once Naruto released the chakra, instead of it going in to the seal as he planned, it flew across the hole and in to the wall. After a few seconds the entire side of the hole rotated and showed a later, causing Naruto to say "What the hell was that?"
Jiraiya looked down the hole and sighed. "I'll explain later, but for now, lets go get your teammate."
Naruto looked down the hole before trying the seal in his scroll again. This time it worked and a wooden stick appeared with another seal on top of it. He repeated the process of sending chakra through the seal and the result was a burning torch. He went around the other side of the hole and started sliding down the ladder by the sides, instead going rung by rung, with Jiraiya following suit.
"Hey, Dobe, are you going to give me a torch or what?" After thirty seconds of no response, Sasuke got angry and was about to scream when he saw a light falling towards him. He prepared to catch it when he got hit by something big and heavy. He pushed it off and screamed "Usuratonkachi! What the hell? What the fuck was that?"
"That would be me, Teme. No need to shove me either." Naruto said from right next to him.
"I swear I'm going to kill you for being such an idiot and fal-" *Thud, thud*
"What just broke my fall?" Jiraiya stood up and picked up the torch, revealing Sasuke where he just was. "Oh, sorry about that. Anyway, lets get moving." As he started to walk down the tunnel.
Naruto and Sasuke both stood up, before Naruto unsealed and lit another torch for himself. As they started to walk and catch up with Jiraiya, Naruto saw a seal on the wall and said "Hey, Jiraiya! Come take a look at this seal. I don't recognize all the parts of it."
Jiraiya looked back and saw what Naruto was talking about. "It's a seal for light that requires blood. Wipe some on it and this hall should be lit up."
"Alright Ero-Sennin." As he did what he was told. After a few moments the walls began to glow, before the glow shrank and revealed a hole the stretched through the hall in the wall just above their heads blocked by glass. They saw that the hall stretched farther than the eye could see and that, even though they had been walking for around ten minutes, they were only a few feet from the ladder and the hole to the surface, which slowly sealed.
"What the hell is going on here? First the hole, then the chakra, then YOU, now this. When we get out of this I'm killing you both." Sasuke threatened as he began to walk down the tunnel. Just then Naruto started walking like he was dead to the world again. He was going back the way they came, and it caused both of his teammates to look at him. "Dobe, don't do anything stupid again!"
It was too late. Naruto had already bitten his thumbs, strung many odd hand signs together, and shoved both his hands into the wall where the ladder had been. They entire hall started moving, turning to re-align itself, until Naruto pulled his hands out of the wall and it stopped on a door. Still not himself, Naruto started walking down the hall. When he came close to Jiraiya, his eyes flashed. They became grey for a fraction of a second with a shocking design in them. Jiraiya froze in shock before he started to follow Naruto. Sasuke, seeing this, grunted and followed aswell. Once they reached the door, Naruto took the almost dried blood on his hand, drew his clan symbol on a odd looking section of the door, and it creaked open.
