Chapter Four: Ending the Wave Horror
Naruto spun around and sent an arc of wind into the ground to make a trench. He threw flaming shuriken at target after target and moved on to hitting the trees top branches with waves of water he kicked and punched into the air. His vision fuzzed over but he wiped his eyes. He inhaled and focused, then jumped up and formed a lightning glove around his hand. He rushed at the ground and sent a huge chunk into the air. He used Earth Chakra to hold the smaller pebbles in the air, then sand that floated up.
"Naruto, that's enough. You have mastered the fist three stages of all five elemental chakras. Let's get back to Tazuna's place." said Asuma as he and the team came out. Naruto used what little chakra he could spare to put everything back as much as possible then passed out from over use. Asuma sighed, as well as Kushina, Minato and Shino, and they walked home.
"Ah, what time is it?" said Naruto. He looked at the clock and found he had been out for three hours, just in time for dinner. He walked down and stretched his arms out wide.
"Naruto, so you finally wake up." said Asuma, making every one look up. He waved and sat down. "That was some impressive training. You even managed to control one of the seven minor elements."
"Yeah but man did it kill me." Inari slammed his hand against the table.
"Why do you try so hard!? You can not defeat Gato!"
"You should not talk about what you don't know anything about." he said calmly while putting some rice in his mouth.
"How dare you talk like that!? You know nothing abut what I've gone through!" Naruto looked down and shadows covered his eyes. The room grew cold and pipes bent and exploded water from the wall, then the spray turned to ice. Naruto appeared with Inari's throat in his hand and the boy pressed against the wall.
"You know nothing of what I have gone through!" Shino stood up and sent his bugs out but Naruto stopped them with some air. "My mom and dad died when I was born! They sealed the Kyuubi no Kitsune inside me! I have to live with the hate and glares of the villagers every single day of my life so don't tell me you have it worse then me! And at least I'm doing something about the midget! Do you think your father would be proud if he saw you today, a little baby who cries at the tiniest little thing!?"
"Naruto…pull him out of the wall." said Asuma calmly to him. Naruto growled and slowly pulled him out of the Inari shaped dent. He dropped him down on the floor and walked away in a blind rage. He found a huge clearing and began to rip it apart. After a while, when the entire place was obliterated and he was relying on the Kyuubi to heal his hundreds of wounds. He heard a sound in the bushes and through some shuriken.
"Bone Bullets!" ten bullets of white material slammed into the shuriken and both went off course. A man about eighteen looking in age came out with a sword of bone. He sheathed it at his side and looked Naruto over.
"Sorry I attacked you but it was an instinct." he put a kunai he had drawn away and the man finished with a nod.
"My name is Kimimaro Kaguya and I was just killing some time." Naruto nodded and leaned against a tree. 'Kimimaro…why does that sound so familiar?' They both turned as the bushes moved. Naruto relaxed and Kimimaru tensed up as Haku and the Demon Brothers came out and tried to contain them selves from attacking Kimimaro.
"Hey whitey, who is this kid?" asked Haku, making a tick appear over the Kaguya's head at the nickname.
"This is…actually you never said your name."
"Sorry. My name is Naruto Uzimaki-Namikaze. Nice to meet you." Kimimaru could no longer hold his expression and the shock painted his face. 'He is from Kisame's sensei's clan? Just like Haku is?' Naruto scratched his head and looked at Haku.
"Well, I guess I should leave…hey how old are you again?"
"I am only fifteen, Uzimaki." Naruto was shocked at this but decided to move on. He reached the house and walked inside, where he quickly walked up the stairs. He was about to reached his room when Inari came out and let out a huge girly scream until Naruto put his hand over his mouth.
"Be quiet Inari." the other doors began to open slightly. "See what you did? Shadow Style: Disappearing Shadow Jutsu!" he disappeared while taking his hand off Inari. Sasuke and Asuma came out of their rooms and looked at the scared boy.
"Inari, what made you scream like that?" asked the older Jounin.
"And why did you just scream like a little girl?" mocked Sasuke.
"I-It was Naruto! He came back and I freaked out. I didn't mean to…" Asuma reflected on all the times the villagers hurt Naruto as a flute began to play (You know the one I am taking about) in his mind. A small tear formed in his eye as he remembered all those times Naruto defied the villagers and made him proud.
'Don't you EVER underestimate me!'
'I'll make them all respect me!'
'I will be the next hokage.'
'I'll protect this village with my life!"
'I won't even give up. That is my nindo, my ninja way.' he sighed with a small smile at the memories. Naruto watched him and went in to his room once they all left. He sat down and pulled out a scroll he had 'found' in the Hogake's office and began to read through it. It was about the five Elemental Blades, three of which were stolen from the Village hidden in the Leaves.
"So, Rain has Raijin, Mist has Kajin and Rock has Fuijin. Looks like I know where the first stops on my training trip will be." he said as he sealed the scroll up and went to sleep. He snapped his eyes open and looked at the clock. Asuma said he and Kakashi were going to teach them something new, but then Asuma told him he already knew it so he would teach him some B-class Wind jutsu.
"Ah, Naruto, just in time for us to leave." he grunted at Kakashi and followed them to a clearing were Kakashi demonstrated the tree walking exercise. Asuma guided Naruto to a lake and they began to warm up with one thousand hand pushups on the water.
"Okay, now that we're done warming up, I'll be teaching you the Wind Dragon Jutsu, then the alteration for trench knives called Cutting Wind Dragon Jutsu." he showed Naruto the hand signs and exhaled, making a huge dragon fly out his mouth and slam into the lake, actually freezing it for a few seconds. "Now you try."
"Right…Wind Dragon Jutsu!" a small dragon came out his mouth and hit the lake.
"That was good Naruto, not many people can make a dragon that big on their first try. But your problem is your chakra. When you inhale, focus chakra into the air, then even more chakra into your mouth when your exhale." Naruto closed his eyes for a second then snapped them open to show a blue whirlpool in his left eye and a green lightning bolt in his right.
"Wind Dragon Jutsu!" he exhaled and a dragon the size of half of the Hokage Monument shot out and dove into the lake, making it completely freeze over. After a few seconds, Naruto pulled his hand back and the dragon flew into the air. Asuma hit him in the back of the neck and the dragon, chakra strings, ice and the whirlpool and lightning bolt disappeared.
"I meant use your chakra, not your parents." Naruto grunted and did the jutsu again, making a dragon about three fourths as large as Asuma's. "See, you just have to find the right amount of chakra. Now, for Cutting Wind Dragon." Asuma showed him how to make a small enough dragon to incase the weapon, then how the hit it made would freeze anything if the dragon was small enough.
"My turn! Cutting Wind Dragon jutsu!" he didn't pay attention to the dragon's size and hit a tree, turning it into an ice spike.
"Wow that is impressive Naruto…BUT GET MORE GODDAMN CONTROL!" Naruto shriveled back and hit the focal point of the ice, making it crumble. He tried again and managed to some what get it right.
"Is that good enough?" he asked while breaking the ice.
"Sure, I'll move on to two more jutsu, but these are to be sparingly used because they are assassination moves I made combining Lightning and Wind chakra. They are used together to make the attack quicker. Here I'll show you." he did a bunch of one handed seals on each hand and named the techniques. "Wind style: Wind Devil Blade! Lightning Style: Lightning Claws!" the trench knife in his left hand grew to the length of his left arm, then electricity made claws of thunder and lightning over his right.
"How does that combine the two chakras?"
"Just summon the targets and I'll show you." Naruto did three hand signs and hit the ground, making twenty targets of rock pop up. Asuma sent a bolt of lightning and a blade of wind at them but they died half way.
"And how is that powerful?" he flicked Naruto off and hit the two together. The wind blade got a coat of lightning on it and formed into a sword over his arm. The lightning converged over his fist and turned into something similar except the wind was spinning around it. He rushed forward and slammed one into a target and they exploded. He went to the side and dashed through the targets, destroying them.
"Does that answer your question Naruto?" Naruto nodded and Asuma showed him the hand signs slowly. At the end of the day, Naruto could make them but with about half the power of Asuma. They went into the house and Naruto flopped down to eat his food. Inari came in and sat as far way from him as possible.
"Hey Inari?" this got everyone's attention. Inari looked at Naruto as his clones fixed the pipes and asked what. "Sorry I was such a jerk to you yesterday. I was way out of line." Inari was silent for a few minutes. When he finished eating and stood up, he turned his back to Naruto and said something that surprised every one.
"I forgive you Naruto. You were right actually. Last night, I had a dream and my father told me you were right. I promise I won't let him down again." he went up stairs and into his room. Naruto finished eating and went to the roof to look at the stars.
"Can I join you?" he turned his head to see Shino and he waved him over.
"You find any good bugs here?"
"Yeah I found a really good one when you made the pipes explode that had been hiding in there. "He pulled out a beetle with a green set of wings with a blue stomach. "The gas it can give off can blind a person or the slime it makes every few days can melt through almost anything."
"That is a very good find. If you find one of the opposite sex you can breed them."
"Actually, this kind of bug doesn't need a mate to reproduce. I'm gonna raise them back in Konoha and give them out among my clan."
"Cool, cool…how's training going?" he shrugged and began to sharpen a kunai.
"Pretty good, pretty good, I learn some cool jutsu from Kakashi after I finished tree walking and I found my affinity is fire with a close second of earth."
"Cool, you have attack and defense." said Naruto while lighting a cigarette. Shino looked at the burning paper with displeasure.
"You shouldn't smoke Naruto."
"Relax, the fox keeps the smoke from doing any damage and this isn't a normal cigarette any way. I made it from a paper with seals on it. In other words, it helps me focus instead of the opposite." Shino and Naruto sat back against the roof and looked at the stars.
"So, learning anything new?" he nodded and explained the technique to him. "That is quite impressive."
"Yeah, it is but man is it hard to learn. Hey, you should ask Kakashi to teach you something like that." they kept quite few about thirty more minutes, then went in and got some sleep.

It was now the end of the week and Naruto was looking through the summoning contract trying to find where the figure was, when it hit him. "This is a blank contract. I could use it to summon anything I wanted." he set it aside and looked through the rest of the stuff to find the other two. He opened one that was green and yellow and found it was the salamander contract. He would have to give that to Rain when he went to get the Raijin, since it was stolen from them.
"Hey Naruto, hurry up in there!" yelled Asuma from the other side of the bathroom door.
"I'll be out in a second…DON'T CALL ME BLONDIE!" Asuma could be heard running from the door as Naruto opened the last scroll, a completely black one. It showed a blackened figure of men, women, animals, and demons. 'kyuubi is this the contract for what I think this is the contract for?'
'Yes kit, I think you are right. You should sign it, but be very careful. If you sign to many contracts, it could end deadly if you can't control the bosses. If you can not defeat one of the bosses, you can not summon from any other contract except the boss of that one.'
'Right, thanks for the help.' he nicked his left thumb and signed the contract. He sealed everything back up and left the bathroom. He was going down stairs when he heard Tsunami scream for help. He drew a katana he had strapped on earlier and rushed down stairs. Two samurai held Tsunami on their shoulders and were about to beat Inari.
"Know your place kid!" said the larger one with no shirt. He brought his hand forward and pulled it back as a kunai pierced it.
"Leave Inari alone or I will kill you." they laughed at him and he sheathed the katana since he didn't want to have to kill any one if necessary and began to unwrap Kitsuhada. They had obviously heard about the blade because when he showed it to them and pointed it forward, they dropped her and ran off. He sealed it to his arm and went to his room to put his battle armor on.
"Naruto, where are you going?" asked Inari when Naruto came down in battle armor, his cape, Kitsuhada on his back and his trench knives in his hands.
"I have to take care of some one who helped massacre my mother's clan. His name is Kisame and he is one of the people attacking your grand father." he ran out the door and took off. He was half way there when he screamed. "I'll never make it at this rate! Wait I know." he drew his trench knives and placed them behind him. "Cutting Wind Dragon Jutsu!" he rocketed forward and floated above the bridge.
"Wind Dragon Jutsu!" he heard Asuma yell out. The mist was destroyed as it ripped through a Water Dragon Kisame had sent at him. He let out a huge roar and broke the sound barrier with the speed he kicked Kisame at.
"Who the hell are you kid?" Naruto didn't say anything, just turned his attention to the white haired Hunter-nin next to Haku. "Hey, I'm talking to you kid!"
"Here, I'll let my mom explain. You should know her pretty well. Summoning Jutsu: Kages: Ninth Mizukage!" he walked over to the white haired ninja and pushed Shino out of the way of a bone spike. He kicked him with the strength his father gave him and destroyed an ice mirror, letting Sasuke jump out.
"Hn, 'Bout time you got here Naruto." he said while pulling senbon from his body.
"What can I say, I got lost on the road of life." every turned to Kakashi as he began to cry and talk about how proud of Naruto he was. Naruto walked into the ice mirrors and was attacked by a bunch of bones.
"No, don't attack him!" yelled Haku, but it was too late. Minato took over and caught the other hunter-nin with a flying kick. He began to punch and kick him, but it was doing no good.
"Fine, sixth gate of pain, open!" his skin turned red and the bridges little pebbles rose into the air around him. He appeared in front of him and punched him in the chest, actually breaking a few of his ribs. He began to attack him over and over again until it came time for his final attack. He unwrapped the bandages on his arm and began his ultimate attack.
"Naruto, no, don't do it!" yelled Asuma and Kakashi at the same time but it was too late again.
"You hurt Shino, and now you will die! Reverse Hidden Lotus!" Naruto shot him into the air and began to attack him. He moved so fast he made the shape of a lotus flower in the air. He ended it with one last kick that slammed him through the entire bridge. He appeared on the water and punched him back up. He hit the ground with the help of an axe kick and bounced.
"Naruto calm down!" yelled Shino. Naruto had began a punch but didn't stop it in time and cracked the mask open. He backed up as the blood seeped from Kimimaro's face. He stood up and dropped to a knee.
"How did you beat me so easily?" his answer came when he was able to see the red skin. He dashed forward and grabbed Naruto before he hit the ground. Kisame was on the ground crying from the emotional tramitization Kushina had unleashed on his mind. her spirit was now next to him helping Kyuubi, Minato and Asuma heal him up. A clapping could be heard as the mist moved aside to show Gato.
"Gato, you slime ball, what are you doing here?" screamed Haku as she brought dragons up from the water. Gato laughed again and moved to the side to show all his mercenaries.
"You are all weak. That weak brat took both off the great Bloodline Wielders out and was sop weak he passed out. But if you are wondering, I am not going to pay you, but kill you instead." he began to laugh again but a senbon needle pierced his arm. "Who the hell just did that!?" he looked around and his eyes stopped on Naruto. A red aura was floating up into the air from Naruto's body.
"Gato, you bastard, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" he jumped up and did some hand signs. "Summoning Jutsu: Dragon Lord: Valakus!" a huge dragon suddenly had the bridge in a vice grip. The mercs tried to run but the dragon destroyed the boat. Naruto drew his knives and had the dragon hold Gato down. "You have been a tyrant to this country for to long and now I will end that!" he walked towards Gato.
"Get your paws off me you dirty lizard!" she held him tighter and his bones began to slightly snap.
"I, Naruto Uzimaki-Namikaze of Konohagakure, the Village Hidden in the leaves, son of the fourth Hokage and ninth Mizukage, here by end your life! Wind Style: Wind Devil Blade, Lightning Style: Lightning Claw!" the weapons appeared and he slammed them together. He walked up to and took a step, then fazed out of existence. He reappeared at the end of the bridge with thousands of slash marks covering the mercenaries and Gato. "Boom."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" that was the last thing heard as the army and it's leader exploded. Naruto dropped on the ground and began to bleed from the prolonged effect of the jutsu and Kyuubi chakra.
"Naruto, hold on, just hold on!" was the last thing he heard before his vision left him in blackness. With the rest of them, Haku went up to him and began to heal his wounds. The dragon disappeared, making it obvious that he would be out for a few days since she was long enough to be on the land and coil around the bridge legs and body.
"Will he be okay sensei?" asked Ino as she tried to keep from watching Kakashi was off all the blood. Tazuna was lead over by Zabuza and Kimimaro.
"hey Asuma, we have come to a decision and we are going to Konoha with you."
"Are you sure? If the council thinks you are not trust worthy they will execute you." he shrugged and sheathed his zanbato.
"We all heave valuable information, especially Kimimaro here, and I'm sure there will be few disagreements in the council about that." they all went back to watching Naruto as Kisame limped into th tree line.
"Kisame, are you okay?" he looked up with his unfrozen eye to see Itachi coming to help him. He moaned in pain and Itachi began to break the ice. Madara put him in his eyes until they reached the Akatsuki hide out and let him out to heal, but back to the heroes.
"Is he okay Haku?"
"Yes Asuma, but he will need some sleep." they walked towards the other end but came face to face with some one who freaked them out like hell, Orochimaru, missing ninja of Konohagakure, one of the three sennin.
"That was quite a fight there. Kimimaro, come with me back to the village." he turned to walk but the boy did not follow. "Kimimaro, come here."
"No, I am going to join Konoha and you can't stop me!" he growled and drew Kusanagi from the snake in his mouth. He rushed at him but he was stopped by a shadow holding his legs. He looked over at Naruto, who had a black chakra surrounding him. blood spilled from fresh wounds as he did the hand signs. His body turned into a shadow beast with yellow eyes, three inch claws, and a tail with spikes along the top.
"NO, YOU WILL LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" the energy blew a hole in the bridge and sent Naruto into the air. He flew at the snake bastard and cut his arm off with Kitsuhada while he was still in shock. A second white haired boy came and grabbed the arm, then Orochimaru, not showing his face. Naruto was over the water when the energy stopped, sending him into the salty ocean. The water began to turn red as he floated down. He opened his eyes to see a cross between a dragon and a turtle with a bunch of buildings on it's back pushing him back to the surface.
Asuma and Kakashi dropped down and pulled him out of the ocean and rushed him home where Haku began to clean him up. After a few hours of surgery she finally came out of the large den and told everyone he would be fine. "He has lost a lot of blood, but it is regenerating quickly. What is really confusing though is that instead of sinking with all that battle armor on he floated back up to the top of the water."
With Naruto, he was talking to Kyuubi about what he saw and the message he was given. Kushina broke in. "Naruto, what exactly did it say?"
"It said 'little one, never give up the spirit of the whirlpool and I will protect you whenever you are on water.' Why?"
"That was the Sanbi, Isonade the three tailed Bijuu." Naruto looked at the hand that hid the glove. He thought of all those buildings, especially the largest one that held the Uzimaki symbol on it. He sat in silence for a few minutes.
"Why would the Sanbi appear to me of all people? And why offer to protect me? It can't be just because I am part of the Uzimaki clan or he would have gone to Haku as well."
"Maybe it's because you wield his puppet and sword?"
"I thought Samehada was his sword?"
"It is, but so it Hyorinmaru. He made both blades while Kitsuhada and Karinmaru, your father's family sword, was made by Kyuubi." he looked over at Kyuubi and he nodded his head at him.
"So, he saved me because of Hyorinmaru? Then wouldn't he help out Kisame to?" Kushina looked over at Kyuubi for the answer.
"Well, it may be because you can use whirlpool chakra. I'm not completely sure since it's your mom's chakra and not yours."
"Well, maybe I can contact him some how while we are still in wave?"
"Naruto, Bijuu only come out when some one with the Kekkai Genkai they made summons them, their home is in danger, or some one attacks them. Though, I believe he made the Hyoton Creation Kekkai Genkai by taking the disguise of a human and getting one of the women of Whirlpool pregnant. Maybe you just have a lot of Bijuu DNA surfacing because Kyuubi is teaching you how to control your demonic powers."
"Wait, so could I get Haku to summon him up?" she looked doubtful but nodded. He snapped his eyes open and looked around at the den. He put his shirt back on and went into the next room, much to everyone's surprise.
"Naruto, what are you dong up?" it was Kakashi who asked, breaking everyone else out of the trance.
"THEY helped heal me quicker." Kakashi nodded in understanding and helped Naruto sit down on the couch.
"Naruto, I was just wondering, how did you have all that weaponry and armor but not drown in the ocean?" this was Haku.
"It was an old friend of our clan, the one who made your Kekkai Genkai, it was the Sanbi Isonade, the three tailed Bijuu." every one stared at him in amazement, then at Haku who was most surprised. "And that is why I need to talk to you alone. Asuma, could you get my crutches out please?" Naruto threw him a scroll with a medical cross on it and he pulled out a pair of crutches.
"What do you need Naruto?" they now sat at the docks, no one around.
"I want you to summon the Sanbi. I know this is a big request but I need to talk to him." Haku nodded and walked on to the water after a few seconds of thought. She focused chakra through her feet and spread it out around her, illuminating the water. She began an intricate dance that not even she knew until now and finished by pulling up a shrine with the number three on it made office.
"Now what Naruto?"
"We wait for him to come up?" they didn't have to wait long, because the ice exploded and out came the Sanbi.
"Ah, the last two survivors of my clan. It is good to see you again Naruto." they both bowed their heads and Naruto began to speak again.
"Lord Sanbi, why did you save me and give me that message earlier?" He began to chuckle in a way then full out laugh at Naruto.
"You will one day become the greatest warrior this planet has ever seen, and I thought you could use some more time alive. In fact, I have been watching the two of you since I found out you were alive. Please, climb on my back into my village and take anything you wish from the Uzimaki house, but only the Uzimaki House." you didn't have to tell them twice.
They walked down the street past a bunch of different weapon shops and houses, and it was hard not to take something from them, but they were not aloud to so they moved on to the Uzimaki house. It was a large set of manners put together with a large spiraling tower in the center of it. They walked inside and found hundreds of different weapons and even some animals and books.
"Hey Haku, you see that zanbato over there?" he pointed at a large gray sword with a bandaged handle and a inscribing of a dragon on one side and a turtle on the other hanging on the wall. "I think I would like that." she nodded and walked through the ice protecting it and brought it to him. They walked along till they reached the tower. They now had a set of battle armor which could be put into four swirling Whirlpool symbols and a bunch of weapons.
Naruto broke the door down and they walked up the stairs to the top room. They opened the door to find a set of stone pillars. Each had a pair of gloves with a rune on each one and a small belt with hundreds of places for weapons and vests with the symbols for breathe and freeze on the back. They each took a set and walked into the next room, a giant library. They sealed many books up and then made Shadow Clones to run around the house and seal the rest of the stuff while they explored the final room.
It was a giant room with a cage in the center. The walked over and each pulled out a baby turtle. At their touch, they grew larger until they were riding size and now could be seen as Isonade miniatures. "We are the son and daughter of Isonade and we are here to serve you." Naruto hit his head and unsealed a box. He opened it to show the eggs. "How do you have our cousins?"
"I have been trying to get them to hatch for some time now and I just figured out how." he focused chakra into each egg and a baby lizard came out of each one. They crawled along his arm but he put them in his pockets for safety. The clones came back with a scroll and they sat on the turtles to leave.
(Three Days Later)
The two turtles, who liked to be called Yin and Yang, six salamanders with wings about the size of a hand, and eight humans walked away from a bunch of very thankful villagers. They waved back as Tazuna told every one what the bridge would be called. "How about the Great Naruto Bridge?" cheers of approval roared out over the crowd as they sent word to a man who would make the plaque.
