Chapter Two: Come Forth, Yamshi of the Winds!
"Now, Naruto was not lying when he said that child was a demon holder. I barely placed a restraining seal on him before he passed out. I have reason to believe Orochimaru is planning an attack and that the boy from sand is a key component. I want Naruto trained Kakashi, so forget the order to teach Sasuke only. Use clones if you have to but Naruto and Sakura will be taught."
"Yes Lord Hokage, I will do such."
"Now, the reason you are here is because of the Chuunin Exams. Who wishes to nominate their team?"
"I, Asuma Sarutobi, Jounin Sensei of team ten, nominate Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Choji Akimichi."
"I, Kurenai Yuhi, Jounin Sensei of team eight, nominate Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuuga."
"I, Kakashi Hatake, Jounin Sensei of team seven, nominate Naruto Uzimaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno."
"I, Might Guy, Jounin Sensei of team nine, nominate Neji Hyuuga, Rock Lee, and Tenten."
"WHAT!? Gai I can understand but the rookies should at least wait a year! I taught them and they are not ready to do this yet!" yelled Iruka while slamming his hand on the desk, making every one in the room flinch. He was stuck on angry teacher mode now.
"Well Iruka, if you don't think they are ready then why don't you test them to see?" asked Kakashi as he read his orange book with a small giggle every now and again.
"Okay then, meeting adjourned for now. Iruka, take up a disguise and attack at night." said the Hokage and they all disappeared, leaving a smiling Naruto hidden under the window.
'Okay you two, I know you can give me your knowledge, so give me every thing you know about Kenjutsu and the Shoulang!'
'Kit, we have to be in a private place so the surge of chakra doesn't destroy something. Go to the training ground instead.' Naruto absent mindedly nodded his head in agreement and dashed through the village to the clearing. He arrived and sat down in the center, then the two sneering faces of the Bijuu appeared to him and he gulped, then his chakra spiked and drew the attention of one Uchiha who was desperately trying to use a new jutsu.
"Was that the dobe?" he took off to see and crouched on the branch while holding himself up with a well placed kunai in the tree at the last second. "No F-ing way!" Naruto's chakra was flowing over the ground and making the vegetation growth increase by at least one hundred. The swords spun around him in a protective manner, then it suddenly stopped and the swords sliced the grass down while the eyes went back from the beady green.
"Man, you guys weren't kidding." he placed each sword in their place and staggered up to his feet then walked out of the clearing. Sasuke growled and looked at the mark on his hand. He would make Naruto pay for his pain.
--
Naruto sat on his couch going over different information and moves. "Isonade, why do the blades have so many names? Aren't they the same blades as always?"
"Well yes, but they change their name with each new master so they have to work for the blade's strength."
"Oh, that makes perfect sense." he continued until an ANBU group from sand and the sensei of the sand Jinchuuriki burst through his window. He growled and drew two of the swords, wind and lightning.
"You hurt our Jinchuuriki, and while we respect you, we must kill you, since you jeopardize our plans to destroy this little village." said one of the ANBU. They drew different weapons and launched at him but he flipped back and turned on the faucet. He inhaled as quickly as possible and the water entered his mouth and then he fired its hardened body at the intruders.
"Ice Intake Jutsu." he blocked an axe and a kunai with his swords and pushed the weapons away, then slammed the owner's heads together. He used his lightning blade as a pivot and slammed into the ANBU who had told him what the plan was. He cut him down the chest and he went through the window. Zabuza and Haku heard the commotion three stories down and rushed to help him.
"Cyclone Fist Jutsu!" Naruto spun his arm quickly in a complete circle repeatedly and pegged three of the enemies to the wall. Two more back up teams entered and he began to fire off Water Style Jutsu as well as a few Wind ones. His Shadow Clones were destroyed quickly and he was losing stamina. 'If I don't do something soon, I'll die.'
"I can give you the strength to defeat them, for a short time any way. Just hear my call. Say my name with honor and pride for few learn it. My name is…"
"Come Forth and Destroy Them, Yamshi of the Winds!" the weapon in his hand exploded forth and became a pair of swords with chains connecting them at the bottom. One was brown and the other white and the handles were both yellow. The swords had fangs that fit together to create a single blade. He swung the blades by the chain above his head and called forth his attack. "Hawk of the Wind Barrage!" the civilians and ninja outside the apartment saw about fifty ANBU fall from the remains of the blonde's wall with a bunch of hawks made of wind with chakra lining them following.
"So, you unlocked the first state?" asked Zabuza as Haku ran over and healed his wounds. He got to work by making some clones to clean up all the mess. Naruto dropped to a knee and began to cough up all kinds of shit, like blood, a rotten sardine from when he was a little kid, a penny from when he was a two and what looked like a chewed up baby toy.
"Will I always feel this drained when I call her out?" he asked Zabuza as he walked over the glass to his room while a wall of rock slowly crawled over the hole.
"No, only the first time activating. The Unsealed Beast release will knock you out and turn control to that sword. Here, you had this stuck in the ground." Naruto took his other sword and used the two to carry himself over the floor and into his room where he went to sleep on the bed with Shadow Clones guarding him from any more attacks.
"Uzimaki, WAKE UP ALREADY!" Naruto shot up as memories of Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi coming into his room and Sakura knocking out half the clones came to him a and he got a head ache.
"Sakura, just shut up, please shut up." he said and swung his feet over the bed, then grabbed the swords. He limped out of the room slowly and hit the floor when Sakura pushed him, then Haku slapped her.
"You should be careful pinky. He just killed about fifty sand ANBU with the power one of those swords gave him and if you hurt him again you'll be a statue of a girl peeing sitting in Jiraiya's house when he gets back!" Sakura backed away and Haku helped Naruto back up and he managed to start walking again.
"Thanks Haku, but that Jiraiya comment was kinda harsh wasn't it?'
"She hurt you. It's my job to keep that from happening."
"Um, well, uh, could you not hurt my teammates until after the Chuunin Exams? Oh shit, I'm not supposed to know about that!" he realized too late. "Hey Haku, I need some new clothes so lets go get some from this shop I know." he disappeared right as Kakashi was about to ask him how he knew about the exams.
"Okay, let's see what we got here." Naruto walked out of the dressing room in a store a few minutes later in his new clothes. He had a pair of cameo pants with a bunch of pockets tucked into steel toed boots at the bottom. He had a red shirt with orange dragons in a fight scene around it and a pair of fingerless orange gloves. His belt had loops for the sheaths on the side and a holder for two daggers on his side in easy reach, one up and one down.
"I'll take it. You sure known what to look for Haku." he walked over to the old woman running the counter and bought the clothes and two daggers for the holders. He limped out of the store and met at the training ground but the sun had gone down and he needed to train his new release so he stayed while Haku went home.
"UZIMAKI, PREPARE TO DIE BY MY WEAPONS!" senbon fell from the sky from the spinning umbrella as Naruto spun and slashed the combined weapon, destroying the weapons and sending the Rain ninja flying.
"Iruka, I know its you, so quit the charade." Naruto made about one hundred clones and they continued training. Iruka hit the ground while his leg twitched in the air. He stood up and brushed himself off then ran off to test the other genin. Sasuke ended up blasting him with a Fireball Jutsu; Sakura nearly fell for his Genjutsu, but broke out, the second generation of Ino-Shika-Cho defeated him with their team work, and the combined attack and defense of Team Eight kicked his ass.
"I guess they are ready for the exams after all."
--
"Hey Sasuke, I know you want to show off and all, but don't tell any one about the Genjutsu on the sign. Less competition that way." they walked past the disguise Chuunin and up the next flight of stairs. They had a brief encounter with Kakashi then went into the room.
"Oh my god, can you feel that KI?" asked Sakura when they walked into the room.
"HEY, BACK OFF OR I'LL SLAUGHTER YOUR BODY UP SO BAD, THE MED-NIN WILL THINK SOME ONE HAD CRAPPED ON THE FLOOR!" instantly, with the help of a sword and some green chakra, the KI was non-existent. The wikazashi slowly took its place in the sheath again and Naruto sat down near the door. The other rookies came in and a veteran came over to them and showed them info cards he had.
"Any one enparticular you want to know about?"
"Yeah, Neji Hyuuga, Gaara of the Desert and Naruto Uzimaki."
"Okay let's see here. Neji is the former Rookie of the Year and is the team mate of Rock Lee and Tenten. He is a genius in his clan with the Gentle Fist style Taijutsu. He has done over thirty D-rank missions and ten C-rank missions. Next is Gaara. He has done more then fifty D-ranks, thirty two C-ranks, and even a B-rank! The most impressive thing is that he hasn't gotten a scratch on him."
"Now, the next is Uzimaki."
"If you don't mind, I would like to take a look at that first." Kabuto, that was his name apparently, handed the card over with a shrug. Naruto looked it over then pointed at something.
"Okay, I won't tell them that." he began to focus some chakra into the card before Sasuke could take it.
"Let's see here. Twenty three D-rank, and one C-rank turned high A-rank mission. He apparently is a master of Kenjutsu and has more then one kind of chakra." at this point, the Sound ninja heading for the white haired kid stopped to listen to the steadily rising voice. "He has a set of swords he found in the country of Wave and is loyally followed by Zabuza Momochi and a kid named Haku."
"The swords are the reason they follow him because of some special ability they have in them. He asked me not to say, though I have very little info on these abilities except that he used one of them to kick fifty ANBU's asses through the wall of his apartment."
"Frost Burst!" a call echoed through the crowd and Naruto drew his kodachi and began to activated, but it refused his request for some reason. He dropped it in the sheath and did six hand signs then fired a wind spear at a long line of ice balls. A kid jumped over the group of genin in a pair of black pants and a dark gold shirt. A silver staff with a spinning saw blade on one end and a long sword blade on the other was over his head.
"So you wanna fight me do you? Fine then, lets begin!" they rushed each other and Naruto drew the katana and kodachi. He held the kid back and glared into his face. He had a pair of purple eyes and black spiky hair.
"Are you Naruto Uzimaki!?" he said while channeling chakra to his weapon, making Naruto slam the sword end into the floor.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" he jumped up and pushed the katana tip into the floor and used it to push him forward. The kid drew an extra length blade dagger to meet him in the center. The surrounding genin were now rooting for either boy. Naruto held the dagger back then began to focus the strength in his arm to his wrist. He drew the dagger from the pouch on his side and slashed at the unnamed boy wearing a Frost village head band out his arm.
"My name is Hochimaru Kazama from the village Hidden in the Frost. I am one of the Shoulang followers. You tried to use one a moment ago. I have to test you to see though!" he jumped up and spun the staff around and slammed down with the saw blade. He placed the dagger underneath the blade and sparks flew back. "Black Dragon Saw: Activate!"
"This is gonna end bad!" a fire ran from the sword tip and covered the weapon, then it sucked into the metal and came out in the saw, burning a mark in Naruto's hand shaped like a spiraling dragon spinning around his hand and up his arm with spikes on one side.
"What in the hell? I've never seen any one with that mark before." Hochimaru muttered to himself as Naruto pulled out the other two swords. One was in his left hand, the katana, and the kodachi and wikazashi were in his right. He placed the kodachi in his mouth and it went across his left shoulder, where he placed the other two swords going down them. A Mist ninja saw this and yelled out to the room.
"Every one get back quick!" the swords began to glow their individual colors and Hochimaru gulped down his fear and bent down low while holding the spear in his right hand away from him. A cold wind covered the weapon and an ice, just barely visible, began to creep along the staff piece then covered his finger tips. A few seconds later, he sported a pair of wicked claws of ice going up to his fingers. He switched hands and they attacks.
"Fox, Turtle, Bird Style: Ultimate Attack: Three Headed Beast Attack!" the swords were a flash as they met Hichimaru's attack.
"Claw and Blade Converging Style: Multi Blow Tornado Attack!" the claws and sword spun around together and deflected the attacks. The proctor was pissed because he was completely ignored because of the fight going on.
"HEY, I SAID SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP MAGGOTS!" every one but Hochimaru and Naruto sat down, but with a stern yell from the proctor, Hochimaru strapped the weapon to his back and the dagger was placed on his leg, while Naruto sheathed the swords and placed his own dagger in place.
"We'll finish this later." said Naruto and he took one of the only other remaining seats next to Tenten. She kept glancing at his weapons and he finally told her to stop right before the test began.
"Sorry, but those swords look so much like the legendary Shoulang Blades one of my idols use to use."
"Well I let you have a closer look later, just stop already before they think we're cheating." he looked at his test. He only needed one question to pass and he could answer. 'What is elemental Chakra, What are the bijuu composed of, and what was the name of the legendary weapon the Nidaime Hokage used?' he looked at a shinobi from a different village's test and saw it was different, then another Konoha-nin that had all of his answers. Better safe then sorry, though they had the Bijuu thing wrong.
An hour passed and many teams had been dismissed. Naruto fell out of his chair when Ibiki woke him from his power nap. "Damn scar faced Interrogators Unit Captain." Naruto mumbled to himself. Ibiki inwardly grinned that his reputation had spread.
"Now, the final question. Who wants to take it and who doesn't? You can choose to leave if you want and wait till next time," he said.
"Why would we leave then?" some one yelled.
"But if you get the question wrong, you can never take the Chuunin Exams again." after a few minutes of elimination, Sakura began to raise her hand, but Naruto saw it and spun the chair out from under him then did a sky kick that crushed his section of the desk and put a shit load of splinters in his leg.
"I don't care if you don't let me be a chuunin through the exams. Chuunin have to take risks in the field and if you can't handle a risk like this you shouldn't be a Chuunin!" he shot Sakura a warning glare and brought up the hand with the dragon on it, then clenched it. "So if you think you scare me, then go to hell, because my life is a risk! Just look at this!" he pulled his shirt off and stopped then reversed his healing effect. All the scars he had ever gotten formed on his body and some even broke a little. About half the teams ran out after seeing that, but those that remained gaped as the wounds were absorbed by the skin and healed.
"What's your name kid? Only one person in the village could have those kinds of wounds and still be alive."
"My name is Naruto Uzimaki, your next Hokage, and any one who objects can kiss the pole sticking out the Uchiha's ass!" he pointed at the Uchiha and all the males in the room began to laugh while Sakura popped her knuckles. Naruto looked at her like she must be kidding and slowly drew one of his weapons. She stopped half way through a crack and gulped. Before any else could say anything, Naruto went over to Ibiki's desk and pulled down part of the wall to reveal a camera.
"I know who this belongs to, and know I'm coming for you! You'll pay for what you did to my mom Uchiha!" the camera exploded as a cloth ball came through the window and two kunai pinned it to the wall.
"The next Proctor, Anko Mitarashi, has finally arrived!" she looked at her banner proudly then screamed as a flaming claw ripped through it making it fell to the floor. A red trail of smoke lead to the bleeding fingers of the Uzimaki.
"Crazy proctors, all of them." He looked at the part that said Forest of Death and Shunshinned out in a huge explosion of dust, wood, leaves, and smoke. He stood on top of the gate watching one spot for the next half hour as a set of red eyes glowed back at him. "I'm coming for you, to make sure your evil is stopped…Madara Uchiha!" Sasuke was the first to arrive and heard the statement, realizing his father's will's warning about the final stage of the Sharingan only being achieved once and that he shouldn't try to get it. The one that that had happened to was Madara, the original Uchiha.
"Now for more urgent matters." he touched Yamshi's hilt and began to talk to the spirit. 'How can I get back the transformation?'
'Simply fight a strong opponent like on the level of ANBU captain or a Sannin. If you do well, the others might release themselves as well.' came the beautiful voice that seemed to be spun of wind.
