Ch.8: Of all places…
Naruto was halfway 'home' until the pitch-black night finally prevented him from continuing. Luckily Naruto made a clean escape, so none of the Akatsuki where alerted. 'Boy, I think you should sleep for the night.' 'What? That's stupid. I mean, think. If they start looking for me, they could catch me in my sleep! At least in that village I have the illusion of being safe.'
'Well, at least you have slight common sense, but just cast a genjutsu on yourself, hide under some leafs, something'cause your body is becoming really stressed out. I mean, if they do catch you, after some rest, cou can at least fight them off.' '…Good point. I'll need all the energy I can get so…'
…
Naruto drifted into slumber and soon after found himself in water. "What the? How did I get here?" Getting up, he noticed that he was in some sort of sewer. "Alright Kami, I know my life's in the gutter now, but this… Stupid dream…" "Trust me kid, this is no dream." "Shit…That voice…"
Naruto walked to its source, which was a huge dark room with mammoth bars running through giving it the impression of a prison style door. "Alright demon fox, where are you?" And then, a huge claw came out of nowhere and almost crushed the child, who back flipped away from harm at the last moment. "Heh heh heh. Nice reflexes, although nonetheless futile effort. In this accused cage, I could be no better than a figment of imagination."Naruto took no notice in the demons words, instead to only to vomit.
"Ha ha! Yet even now you still cower in fear of my presence!""Hell no." Naruto gasped. "Just with your eyes and mouth visible, you're the ugliest mofo I have ever seen."
"INSOLENT WORM! Do not disrespect me or I will-." "What, yell? You even said you can't do anything else, and yelling seems like the one thing your really good at." "Ah, er…" Things got real quiet as the rooms atmosphere got brighter. "…So… tell me, where exactly am I and why?"
"Your conscious mind is within its own void that links itself with the seal on your stomach, the place where I'm kept. As for why, don't you wish to grow more powerful?"
This got Narutos full attention. "You mean I'll learn all my new moves here? AWESOME!"
"Indeed… Here, I can help you perform better…(What the hell do you call it?)…Taijutsu and teach you on how to use drops of my energy effectively." "Wait, that's it? No super powerful move to blow my enemies away?" "Let me just clear things up. One: how can I show you jutsu when I don't have hands let alone fingers or thumbs? And don't say 'You lived for so long that you should remember at least one thing.' Why should I remember stuff I can't use? Plus over time, every day seems the same. Two: When were done with this, you wont need 'jutsu,' only the raw strength you will, over time, posses. Finally, I looked through your memories and saw that your fighting style has more problems than a trouble child on crack, so trust me, this is really needed."
"You can look through my memories…? O.K., whatever. I'll take whatever training you'll give. I also guess I could improve my fighting style while I can. So, how are we going to do this?"
"That's the fun part." Simply answered the Kyuubi, giving a evil toothy smile.
…
Naruto woke in the morning from under the disguising effects of his genjutsu, rubbing his head. The training was surprisingly hard. First was to mimic two 'human (a man & woman)' illusions of himself, and every time Naruto got it wrong, he was given a negative chakra feedback that felt like electricity, coursing through his veins.
Needless to say, it happened a lot.
Still, he started his newest Taijutsu, which was called 'demon style,' which mixed something of kickboxing and something he said as 'gentle fist,' whatever those where.
So the journey continued.
After a few hours, he gazed past a few trees as he placed his black gas mask on. Within a few moments he heard his own heavy breathing through his mouthpiece as he muttered with hate.
"Konoha…"
Naruto jumped back abit, surprised on how low his voice was. 'Perfect. Now, how to get in...'
And at just that moment, 3 ninjas with the rain headbands walked past a guard, just by tapping their headbands. "Were here for the Chuunin Exams."
'Of course! The exams! I heard a little from one of my missions in the village hidden in the grass, that any 3 members of any village can enter. Just great.' "Shadow clone Jutsu." Naruto muttered. 2 clones poofed and they walked to the gate to be stopped by the guard. "What village are you from?" 'Crap, what now?' "The village in the...Shades?" It almost sounded like a question, but the guy nodded. "New village like the sound eh? Got a letter from the leader?"
"No." Piped up a clone. "But I am his son, so technically I'm also a representative. Just show me the paperwork and I'll clear things up." "Alright sir, follow me." "I'll go with him." said the other clone. "Nar...achi, go find a hotel or something." "Alright." said the newly named 'Narachi,' and they separated.
...
'Kami on high, that was too close. Suppose I should try and look around the old neighborhood, before I destroy it all.' So, Naruto took a walk to all the old places he knew as a 7 year old. Training fields, the old academe grounds, shops, even his old apartment complex, and everything was the same. Especially the apartment, smelling like month old garbage. Lazy ass land lord. Continuing down a back path, he saw some guy with black clothes, some makeup on his face, and a bundle of bandages on his back holding a little kid by the shirts neck, and 2 kunoichi (a blond and pink haired) staring at it in shock.
"Let me go!" Said the little kid, struggling against the others grip. "Not until you learn on how to watch where your running brat." "Hey," said Naruto. "What's going on here?" "Piss off. This is none of your business." he said, not even looking, and in a flash, Naruto appeared behind him holding both his hands far apart, forcing the man onto the ground, possession threatening to break off his arms. "You know, there's one thing I hate about people like you. Treating little kids like that...Its just pathetic." The dropped kid crawled back a bit only to look back once. "You alright?" asked Naruto, not letting up his grip. "Ugh...Yea? T-thanks."
Naruto placed his attention on his captive, groaning from the pain. "Well, hope your not too 'attached' to your arms, because I'm going to fix that." Rather, he would of, but a blast of wind tossed him off and into the air, leaving him to flip and land onto the top of a nearby fence, perfectly. "What were you doing to my brother?!" came a angry voice. "The fine art of keeping his hands to...himself. ('Wow, 2 bad puns in a row. I'm on fire!') and who may I ask, are you?" finished Naruto.
"Temari. And the person you almost almost brutally harmed is my brother, Kankuro. Now you."
"I am Narachi of the land of Shade. And I hope to finish my business with Kankuro on a later date, unless he still feels the need to pick on little kids. Then again, I guess I cant blame him. Suppose anyone his age is really way out of his leage." With a quick look at the guy from behind the mask, Naruto finished with: "Don't worry, I know a few 3 year olds who can go with handicap matches. Cant wait to see that."
"You basterd..." Kankuro muttered. "I'll get you. I swear it!"
"If you ever beat the 3 year olds."
The 2 girls and the child laughed as the two siblings walked off. "Wow, you sure showed him." said the pink haired girl. "Thank you." "Heh, no problem...?" "Oh, Sakura. And this is Ino." she said, pointing to the blond.
"Well...It was nice meeting you all. Hope we meet again...And not on opposite sides of a battle."
Naruto walked passed them and he only heard the fox say 'That...went well. But didnt you say you where going to destroy this place? Why care about the kid? Is it because of your past?' 'I guess so. So what would it matter?' 'Nothing other than the fact you have feelings for this place.''...I might. I remember Itachi telling me to not harm those who dont deserve it.' 'Yet he said he didn't care for you. Does his teachings still count?''Yes. And even now I see him as my nii-san. Maybe what he said was a act. Maybe he still cares about me like his brother.'
'I guess it doesn't matter. I did sense one thing though. When you saw those two girls there was a small...' 'What are you getting at?' 'I think...you like them. May it be my animal insights but I could guess that you liked them.' 'Wait-.' 'Yea, I see it. Right now your like a open book.' 'Shut up!'
And so they walked to a hotel, bickering and the like till the clones came home, ready for their stay at Konoha.
