Chapter Three: Naruto gets his ass handed to him in Taijutsu and begin Wave Arc
Naruto sat at Ichiraku, looking at Ayame, his crush from Ichiraku. "Naruto, I can't hide my feelings any long. Please, marry me so I can bare your child." Naruto smiled and nodded his head because he had a bunch of ramen in his mouth. He swallowed and leaned forward and was about to kiss Ayame, but Asuma slapped him upside the head, waking him up.
"Naruto, you were mumbling about Ayame again." said Asuma as he wiped the drool from his mouth then turned his attention back to the clan head meeting. Koharu and Homura dismissed the meeting and Naruto disappeared in a yellow flash, dazing every one. Sasuke looked back at Asuma with a scowl.
"Did you teach him that Sarutobi? I demand you teach it to me!" he yelled, making every one groan.
"Sasuke, even if I could teach you that jutsu, I wouldn't because it is not in your ability."
"I am the best of the best, an Uchiha. I can just use my Sharingan to copy it!" Kakashi slammed his book shut.
"You haven't even unlocked your Sharingan yet Sasuke. Besides, you don't have any team work skills and have been removed from the ninja program if I remember correctly. Plus, that jutsu can only be used by a Namikaze, which you are not."
"What the hell does that mean!? I can make it work!" with another flash, Naruto dropped down with an axe kick, then threw him out the window and did the jutsu again combined with a barrage of punches. He focused his chakra into his hands and continued, leaving burns on Sasuke.
"Kitsune Barrage: Burning Flame Fist Style: Feral Mark!" he brought his hands above his head and brought them in front of Sasuke's chest with his palm together and burned him with a fox head shaped blast.
"What did he just do Asuma?" asked Kakashi. Asuma pulled out a pair of binoculars and looked at the mark.
"I'm not entirely sure to tell you the truth, but you never know what is going on with Naruto." Sasuke hit the ground with a huge mushroom cloud and naruto landed on the window sill.
"Why is every one giving me such a weird look?" he asked after five minutes of quiet.
"What exactly did you do to him Naruto?" asked Kakashi, then first to snap out of it.
"Well, when Asuma and I went on our three year training trip, we split up for half a year and I trained with Orochimaru with a clever disguise. He has a lot of people spying here you know that? Any way, he showed me how to do the curse mark and told me his plan to mark Sasuke once he unlocked his Sharingan."
"But that doesn't explain what you did to the heir of our most powerful clan!" yelled Danzo, ticking every one off.
"I just kept him from having the curse mark placed on him. I'm still working on removing it from Anko though." Every one finally managed to pick their jaws up from the floor as Sasuke swaggered out of the hole in pain. Naruto waved to them and went home. He had found a hidden room and was going to explore it more.
"Where am I?" he asked. He had come across a large room with an alter at the back of it. It had a set of arm and leg guards, a helmet and a set of gloves. He walked over to it and when he got to the center, a huge five pointed star inside a six pointed star inside a circle with hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands of runes and symbols glowed bright green around him.
"WHO DARES COME INTO MY SANCTUARY!?" a voice yelled from every where at once. He was propelled upward as the articles formed into a man with brown spiky hair coming out the helmet, yellow eyes, and tanned skin.
"W-w-who are you?" asked Naruto as he spun in the center of the air.
"I am Riazo Gorzo, weapon spirit of the Uzimaki clan. Who are you young man?" he said while dropping into a Taijutsu stance.
"I am the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzimaki. What are you doing here?"
"I live here. I am the trainer of the whirlpool sealing taijutsu, the style your parent's used." he said as he dropped the stance. "They used me to activate the style. It is a family tradition to be passed on to the one with the most potential, which is you."
"So I get to use you in my fights?" he asked excitedly.
"No, you have to prove you are strong enough in taijutsu." Naruto nodded and dropped into a stance. They rushed forward and connected. Naruto flew back and pulled himself out of the wall, then did a barrage of kicks and punches, all connecting. Riazo pulled himself up from the floor in a quick motion and round house kicked naruto. He flew back and was repeatedly slammed in the stomach over and over again.
"How can you be so strong?" he asked as he dodged a punch.
"I have been around for about a thousand years. You tend to pickup a few things here and there." he said as he kicked Naruto down. He slammed his fist into his stomach and knocked him out. Naruto woke up two and a half hours later and found Riazo eating some rice. "Ah, so you woke up? You did some what well, but get that Might Gai person to teach you."
"Yeah, I guess I could put up with that whole 'the flame of youth' thing." Okay, I'll see you in a month." Naruto walked out of the room as the smoke sizzled off his wounds as they healed.
(One Month Later)
Naruto stood in front of the door to Riazo and thought of the month he had had. He had mastered the lotus and the first four gates with Lee while doing a shit load of D-rank mission. He sighed and walked in a red trench coat, cargo blue pants, combat boots and his weights. Riazo greeted him by coming out of his alter. "So, did everything go well?"
"Yes I went very well. I learned and mastered six different Taijutsu styles. I think I am ready to fight you again." Riazo stood up and dropped into the whirlpool Taijutsu stance. Naruto dropped into a stance even Riazo didn't know and ran at him, his bandages unwrapping from his hands. He threw a punch and Riazo blocked it, but bandages wrapped around his arm. He threw a kick and Naruto pulled, knocking the kick off balance and making it miss.
"What is that style you are using Naruto?" he asked as they went into a high speed barrage of attacks. Naruto dodged an attack but an elbow came down and he moved at the last moment, making the elbow hit him and snapped his neck. Naruto hit the floor and Riazo went down on his knees. "No, no, no, no, no, NOOOOOOOOOOO! I have failed the Uzimaki clan." he stood up and arched forward then turned to see Naruto with his foot in his back. "B-but how…Naruto?"
"That was a special clone I made. They can't be dispelled, only killed. It also copied your style since I call it a copy cat clone. Anything it sees is instantly copied and sent to me." Riazo flipped away and punched forward and a bird of chakra shot at him. He threw his trench coat and leg and arm warmers at it and the seven hundred thousand pounds dispersed it. He appeared behind him with a small sonic boom and wrapped his bandages around him.
"The lotus can not defeat me." he said and Naruto tightened the bandages. He tried to break free but then he saw the seals on the bandages. "What is this!?" Naruto took off into the air and the bandages swirled around on the ground like snakes.
"Hidden Taijutsu: Fang of the Kitsune and Ururu!" the bandages flew up and formed a wolf and a fox which jumped up. They opened their mouth then split and became fangs with a seal on each. Lightning and Fire floated around them, some with other elements.
"Oh shit…" was all he said as they pierced his skin. Naruto flipped around and launched him back into the air. The fangs came out of him but the bandages he had been wrapped in stayed. He flew into the air and Naruto made the bandages wrapped around his arms and formed fangs.
"Hidden Taijutsu: Kitsune Ururu Fists of Fangs!" he jumped up and was about to hit him but then Riazo twisted and the fangs cut one of the seals, letting him break free.
"What is that style and how do you know it?" he said as he dodged punch after punch.
"The spirit of my father helped my with sealing since I was six, and I combined that and Taijutsu to make my own style. I need to add some more Taijutsu in my arsenal before I can get it to its highest point. Now, Hidden Taijutsu: Fang Tremor Kick!" his bandages went to his leg and he kicked out from across the room. The bandaged shot across the room and scattered. "Damn, I still can't do it. Better stick with the easy ones for now."
Riazo dashed forward and pouched the ground, making the floor boards fly at Naruto, who back flipped into the wall. He raised his hand to block but Riazo was to fast and slammed his fist into the side of Naruto's head. He flew across the room and hit the wall. "You did well Naruto, I will allow you to learn the basics and some advance Whirlpool Style, but you must defeat me to be able to use me."
A scroll popped up and the pieces of armor went back to the alter. Naruto swaggered out of the room and held his arm in pain but had a smile on his face. He went to Gai and Asuma as soon as possible and looked over the list of styles they knew. "Hey Asuma, what is this twister Style and Gai, will you teach me the Strong Fist?" Asuma was first to answer.
"Twister would probably be a good choice for you because it uses wind chakra to enhance your strength and propel your enemy back. You can also use it to increase speed and block. I guess I could teach it to you when you can cut a tree in half vertically wise with just the chakra." Naruto growled and slammed is hand into a tree, turned it up and sent his wind chakra up it, shattering it to pieces.
"Sasori helped me with my Wind and Sand training when I met him. I shattered a sand building with my chakra, now teach me!" Asuma threw him three scrolls and Gai sent one at him.
"This contains the advance and basic techniques of the most YOUTHFUL Taijutsu you wish to master!" he said with tears rolling down his face. He dove to hug him and was about to activate his Sunset Genjutsu when Naruto yelled out.
"Look Gai, Lee's youthful flame is fading because he needs more training!" Gai skidded across the ground and pivoted. He ran away and yelled out himself.
"DON'T WORRY LEE! I WILL RESTORE YOUR YOUTHFUL FLAME WITH YOUTHFUL TRAINING BY RUNNING AROUND THE VILLAGE FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND LAPS AROUND THE VILLAGE IN THREE HOURS OR WE WILL…"he was out of range at this point. Naruto made eight hundred clones, two hundred to study each scroll then two hundred more to Whirlpool style.
He went to Ichiraku and ate some lunch then went to another meeting. He fell asleep again and woke up with a "Get away from my marshmallow flavored ramen!" in the middle of the thing. Sasuke laughed at him, then he cracked his knuckles and the emo shut up.
"Mr. Naruto, as the heir to three clans, you should pay attention. Now, as I was saying…" after the meeting he walked out this time and went to the training grounds where he had left the clones. They said they had finished reading and sparing with the styles and had a huge free for all and pretty much had them down. He dismissed them then brought them back and dropped into his new stance.
"Ah, what exactly are me doing again?" asked one of them from the front.
"I want to test my new skills I got from you guys, so I am going to fight you and maybe add a few things." he jumped up and landed in the center then did a leg swipe in a full circle, using Twister Style to send a bunch of the clones flying. Three clones jumped at him and he used a strong fist version of the leaf hurricane to make them puff away.
He back flipped and used his wind chakra to spin him around and slammed through ten clones. A bunch of clones came from under ground in a cone shape and punched him up high, and then thirty more kicked and punched him into the ground. He pulled one of the clones I front of him at the last minute and jumped back up, then spun around while hitting the clones that jumped at him. He hit the ground with a slam and used his new speed to slam ninety-three into each other and puff.
After a few minutes, he was down to eighty clones. Forty jumped at him and he spun around and expelled chakra from all his chakra points, like he saw Neji do. He waited in a stance for the next attack. Thirty nine jumped up and spun at him. He grabbed one and threw it back at them, taking out sixteen of them. He flipped back and sunk into the water, the clones following.
They looked around and just barely dodged a whirlpool taijutsu attack. They turned towards the real one and kicked out, making a cyclone slam at him. The real one floated over it and spun at the clones, kicking and punching till they disappeared. He landed back on land with an explosion of water and locked eyes with the last one. They circled each other and waited for the other to attack. Naruto had an idea and combined the three types.
He gathered cold air around him with Twister Style then formed the water in it into a freezing orb that he used Strong Fist to send at it. It froze in a block of ice and Naruto scratched his head in confusion. "Weird, I only counted nine hundred ninety nine. Where is the last one?" he got his answer when with a punch the ground shattered and he rolled across the ground. He pulled himself up and panted. He had used a lot of chakra to make that orb and now he was having trouble.
He focused what little chakra he had and launched forward while throwing a punch. The clone threw a punch after launching himself as well and they met in the center. Shards of ice flew through the air as the clone disappeared and Naruto yelled in pain while holding his now broken writs. He had focus the chakra into his hand to cover it into ice, but the clone had as well and while Naruto had hit the clone in the head to get rid of him, he had been slammed his into his wrist.
He limped back to the village where ANBU took him to the hospital, allowing him to pass out from the chakra depletion.
(Three Days Later)
Naruto cracked open his eyes and saw Asuma and Kurenai asleep together on the couch which made him smile. He rubbed his eyes and swung off the bed and went into the bathroom to change clothes. He came out and snuck over to the window where he dropped out five floors to the ground. He walked home and opened up a scroll on sealing when he suddenly was pulled into a black world, the towards two yellow eye shaped holes. He was now hiding in a room with Orochimaru and a white haired boy with wire rimmed glasses on.
"Master Naruto, I am one of your Darkness Clones. I am letting you see through my eyes for the moment." whispered the clone. Orochimaru let out a laugh, grapping his attention.
"So you wish to know my plan Kabuto? The reason why an ambassador from Sunagakure was here was because we have made an alliance. With the help of their demon container Gaara, we will attack and destroy Konohagakure and I will kill the third hokage. You will be apart of this."
"How so my Lord?" asked the white haired man. Orochimaru laughed again.
"You will lead the Uchiha and the Namikaze heir to me in the second part of the exam and I will test them. If they are worthy, I will give them the curse mark. As of this moment, I need to watch them and see their progress. The midget named Gato that works for me is trying to gain complete control over Wave and has hired Zabuza Momochi and the last wielder of the Hyoton Creation. Luckily, my friend Kisame and Kimimaru Kaguya have gone to help him."
"Do you think such force will be required?"
"Knowing Zabuza and Haku, they will probably wimp out and Kimimaru…I can't really be sure of his loyalty." Kabuto nodded and disappeared. The clone left the room and when in safety, began to speak again.
"Sir, do you need me for anything else?"
"I do not. Please send me back."
"Yes sir!" Naruto went back to his body and continued to read the scroll, then decided to put it away. He pulled out a scroll on a style of Taijutsu called Sealed Dragon, which turned out his father made. He skimmed through it and found it could be the style needed to finish the style he was making. He made four hundred clones to study it then twenty more to find more scrolls. He ended finding some good ones.
There was a scroll on Kage level fire jutsu, three on jounin level lightning jutsu and a scroll on summoning contract combining. He fell asleep and woke up after the two hundred clones he had made for each scroll and the four hundred for the Taijutsu style and his own style combination dismissed them selves and sent all their information to him.
"Naruto, why did you leave the hospital with out telling any one?" said Kurenai when he walked out the mansion. He gulped and took off when Kurenai made a hand sign.
"You didn't have to scare him with a Genjutsu." said Asuma as he rested his chin on her shoulder.
"I wasn't going to actually use one of them. So what do we do now?' a crazy sneer came over Asuma's face as he kissed her on the neck. "Oh no, that's how this happened." she said while patting her stomach.
"Damn, I guess we should go meet our genin now." they walked away and found Naruto, Ino, Kiba, Sasuke and Shino waiting for them while Kakashi read his book. "Ah, Kakashi, why is the Uchiha here?"
"The idiots on the council made me give him one more chance, but I made them agree that if he didn't show teamwork skills he would be removed from the program completely and be put in a mentally stable environment."
"What do you mean 'mentally stable environment'?" asked Ino while watching to make sure Sasuke was still out of hearing range. Naruto gave a little laugh.
"He means he will go to the wacky house." she nodded that she understood and they all went to the Hokage's office while Kurenai went to her genin. Once they arrived, the hokage shuffled through the scrolls and gave off different missions like baby sitting, rebuilds, weeding, and so on. "Old man, you know we are ready for a C-rank mission so give us one."
"Iruka, hold it, he knows the speech already. Naruto, I can tell you are serious but which one do you-" he was cut off as naruto grabbed one of the scrolls.
"I want to escort Tazuna to Wave. Bring him in." Sarutobi was puzzled but brushed it off and yelled for Tazuna to come in.
"These twerps are supposed to protect me? They don't look…like…ninja." his gaze had fallen on Naruto and he suddenly had a smile on his face. "Naruto, Asuma, it's good to see you!" Naruto gave him a quick hug and pulled out a scroll.
"It is good to see you my adopted grandpa. Is Inari doing well and do you have the sake you owe me?" Tazuna pulled out a sake bottle label 'Kiri's Finest Sake' and Naruto pulled one out that said 'Iwa's Finest Sake' and they traded.
"He is doing great and here is the sake." they put the bottles away and smiled.
"Ah, may we leave now guys?" said Asuma with a little aggravation. They all went to pack and met at the gate after thirty minutes. Naruto had his cape on so no one could see what was underneath but he had sealed Kitsuhada to his arm, his katana was strapped vertically to his back, and he had a dagger on each leg.
"Hey dobe, what's with the cape?" Sasuke flew halfway through the gate with ice on his chest. After they pulled him out, the guards opened the doors and they walked out. About halfway to the shore line, the jounin and Naruto noticed a puddle and Naruto pulled his hood up. He pushed the other genin back and leaned back to dodge an attack.
"Kill the senseis!" they rapped their chains around Kakashi and Asuma and pulled. Ino screamed and Sasuke rushed in to attack. The two threw him against a tree and his head slammed into it. They attacked Naruto, but he made a twister appear around him. The brothers backed up and the twister disappeared.
"Demon Brothers, how have you been old friends?" they looked at each other with questioning looks then gasped as he pulled his hood down. They bowed to him respectfully.
"It is good to see you again Naruto." Sasuke limped over to him.
"How did you do that dobe?" he ignored him and turned to the brothers but Sasuke got mad. "Hey dobe…dobe…DOBE!"
"Do you have an imaginary friend now Sasuke?" he blocked a punch and threw Sasuke into a tree so hard his head made a dent in it and blood began to leak. "Oh well, demon bros, did Gato hire you?" they nodded in surprise and Naruto continued. "Well, don't tell Zabuza we are here because I want to fight him."
"Okay, anything else?"
"Yeah, I want you to tell Haku I said hello. You are dismissed now and Kakashi and Asuma, you can come out." the brothers Shunshin away and the jounin came out. They patched up Sasuke and took a boat to Wave. After twenty minutes, Zabuza's sword came at them.
"Naruto, what are you doing here?" he asked. Kakashi got mad and punched a tree.
"How do you know all these people!?"
"Zabuza was one of my teachers on my trip. Zabuza, do you want to fight now, or would you rather test our abilities later on?"
"Well, if I'm fighting you I better train some more and perfect a few jutsu I was making." they nodded and Naruto turned then fell on the ground as Haku jumped and hugged him.
"Cousin Naruto, I missed you so much!" he laughed and flipped her over. He stood up and pulled her to him.
"You shouldn't attack family like that Haku." she stuck his tongue out at him. They parted ways and after a few minutes of walking and arrived at a house.
"Naruto, use some clones to scout out the area and we will set up." he nodded and made twenty clones. With some orders, they disappeared. A clone sent him the info he needed after a few minutes and he dropped his weights, making a huge crater in the ground. He took one step and a sonic boom uprooted the trees.
"How the hell did the dobe do that?" asked Sasuke when he and Kakashi came out of hiding. Shino gave a small laugh and walked to the crater.
"Weird he is only wearing half as much weight as usual. Oh well, I'm gonna go look for some new bugs." he followed Naruto into the woods and began to use his family's jutsu to find some good ones. With Naruto, he had just found Gato's compound and was sneaking in.
"Oh shit, he's gone get rid of Zabuza, Haku and the Demon Brothers!" Naruto had come to a huge room the size of a Hokage monument head and the first thing he saw was the hundreds of missing-nin headbands mounted across the wall. The room had jutsu scrolls, what looked like three summoning contracts, and a shit load of weapons. He opened a huge scroll and sealed everything in the room up. He sealed that away and continued to look around.
"You didn't even fight them Zabuza! How dare you come and face me!?" he heard from the room next to him. He used a Genjutsu to turn invisible and snuck in. Zabuza was sitting on a coach while reading a book. Haku had a kunai in her hand and had it poised at his throat.
"Do not disrespect Zabuza or those ninja. My cousin was one of them and he could kick your ass in his sleep while blind folded, then castrate you with a rusty saw, and make you eat them after boiling them, roasting them and chopping them up, then he'll seal them in your mouth so you can't spit them out. So don't disrespect him."
"Haku, no, he isn't worth it. Just leave him alone." said Zabuza while putting the orange book away. "We need to meet up with Kisame and Kimimaru in a little while." Haku shot Gato a look and they walked away. Gato pointed at Haku and his samurai body guards jumped to attack her.
"What do you think you are doing?" said Haku as a clone killed the guards and she held his arm behind his back and added more pressure.
"Let me go you stupid whore!" Zabuza and Naruto ran away as Haku ripped the arm off and beat Gato with it. Naruto went back to the house and reported what he found.
"Good job Naruto. Tomorrow we begin their training while you finish combining the Taijutsu styles and practice that Kenjutsu style your dad taught you."
"Okay, now let's end this chapter before the author's girlfriend yells at him again for staying on the computer to long again."
