Chapter 3: Turnabout Legends
It's that time again - notes from the author. I'd like to thank all of you who have been putting this story on your favorite list. Okay, so this story is fluexuating weekly just to let you know, and to one persons question, Mikau Luma is the character I use when I rp on www. under the user name ariesgoth. The name originates from the zora Mikau in The legend of Zelda: Majora's mask, and Luma from the stars in Super Mario Galaxy. That's about it for now so keep sending thouse questions and I'll keep giving you chapters with answers.
Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura all stood in a line in Mikau's back yard side by side. Mikau paced back and forth as he looked at them. He had regained his composure and was ready to begin there training.
"Alright...Naruto. Since you're the one who specializes in frog style summoning jutsus, you explain the summoning jutsu to your comrades while I prepare the exercise." Mikau said, then went behind some bushes.
"Okay...so the summoning jutsu works like this." Naruto said, holding his head in his hands. "From what I remember, you sign a contract with an ninja animal family, and it lets you summon them." He said, his memory not that fresh in his mind. Him and the pervy sage had been focusing on rasengan and the nine tail fox the past few years, not the summoning jutsu. When Mikau returned, he looked a bit winded, but still the same.
"Allright you three, fallow me." Mikau said, walking back through the bushes, the three fallowing to reveal a water fall covered with steam.
"I see why its called the land of steam." Sakura said, running her sleave across her already sweet drenched brow. "How the hell is it so cold back there but so hot over here?" She asked, looking to Hinata, who shrugged.
"It's just the balance I keep in my home...you'll understand in a few more minuets...trust me." Mikau said, sighing then stepped into the water clothes and all. "Well come on...get in." He said, motioning that they all also come in. They all hesitated, but eventually, they got in. After, Mikau took off his shirt to reveal his hardened abs...but what caught every one's attention was the huge scar across his chest.
"What the...?" Naruto asked, moving a bit closer to the girls, who wanted to get closer to Mikau.
"Sen...sensei...what...what happened to your?" Hinata began, then Mikau stopped her putting up a hand
"Again, you'll understand in a few more minuets." Miaku said, moving his hand in a circleto make some of the water spin, making a very small whirlpool. They sat there in silence for what seemed like hours upon hours on end, but was only about 15 minuets. "Naruto, I'm going to need you to take off your shirt also." He said, Naruto hesitently complying. Another five minuets and Naruto's seal could be seen. "Alright, now we all get out." He said, every one getting a shocked look across their face, but did it with out complaint, only a little grumbling. Naruto, Hinata and Sakura stood there shivering for more and more time. Then Hinata took a glance at Mikau and noticed something odd.
"Se...se...sensei? Whe....Where di...did you...sc...sc...scar...g...gg...go?" She asked, heavily stutering because of her teeth chatering. Naruto looked at his own stomech, and noticed that his seal had also disappeared.
"Th...that was...wasn't...a...a scar...was...was...se...sensei?" Naruto asked peiceing it all together. "It...it was some kind of...of seal...wasn't it?" He said, smirking, feeling acoompished for putting that all together.
"That's correct Naruto...but it's not the kind of seal that you have...mine is more like a scar...a memory of my past...my mistakes." He said, closing his eyes, and stepping back into the water. "My whole family has scars like these...alot of things happened in the world while you were gone Naruto...alot of things that only a hand full of people know about." He said, feeling his chest where his scar was just a few minuets ago. He began moving his in fluid motions, making the water move. Then suddenly, he made the water go towards Naruto, then freeze right before it hit him. "Yep...I still got it." He said, Naruto backing away from the frozen pillar of ice.
"How the...how the hell did you do that?" Naruto asked, breathing heavily, just staring at the ice, then Mikau, then the ice again, back and forth between the two.
"I'd move away if I was you." Mikau said, then brought his hand up to his eye level nad closed it into a fist. "Niflhiem." He said, causing the ice to begin to shake, the three moving behind the bushes, the pilar exploding into thousends upon thousends of tiny shards all over the area. Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura looked at MIkau wide eyed, Mikau begining to chuckle, louder and louder until he sounded like a mad man. "Do you see it, the power of the internal summoning jutsu?" He asked, the three looking around trying to see just what he was talking about. As Mikau luaghed, the water began began to create another pillar, wrapping around from his waist down, then froze. His shadow, now being cast from the lunar eclipse into the middle of the feild, began to change shape and size, then a foarm began to come out of it.
"I am a shadow...the true self..." the creature said, dark denomic wings sprouting from it's back. "and now, it's time for you to face your other selves." It said, waving his hands in front of them, causing Hinata and Skura to disappear.
"You, what did you do to them?" Naruto yelled, his fox starting to break out. "Just who the hell do you think you are?"
"I sent them to face them self...and as for my self...I am Mikau's shadow, his true self. My name is Koli, the fool."
