Anatomous; You have Iruka, Guy, Asuma, Kurenai, and there is also the possibility of even getting Hiashi in the area
JL: Well, its not like we can predict all but the most obvious movements of his mind
Leaf; Kakashi isn't a Jonnin for nothing, he actually has skill
Death; I still have planning to do, and after all I do plan to make this story different then my others
Reishin; Vampires anyone? Last I checked, they are a limbo thing; Seras isn't really alive, or Alucard, or even Edward (Though give me a Ax and I'll define his death)
Shaggy; Hey, I Did it in Mysterious Power, and if I answer questions here, I don't have to do as much messaging, and I can give some minor spoilers if I so choose
Tobi; Working on it
Hektols; I'll admit such dark turns of thought aren't really me. I really like to prefer to see characters as either 'Good' or 'Bad'. Gray characters are difficult, and its not just me. From this greyness, we see Evil Danzo infect story after story around here
luffyxrobin-luffyxnami; Note, I don't write the 'lemon' bits, I tried once in my first story and I did not do well. I may add the occasional blue humor bit (Eg, Naruto falling asleep and waking up with his head using one the girls breasts as a pillow), but nothing major. The Bi bit was just blue humor, relax
Oh, and I just found a character who can do something more terrifying than the Sunset Genjutsu, Rick Riordan's interpretation of Bes. Bes, the Egyptian God of Dwarves and repellent of monsters, appears in the Kane Chronicles Series as a chubby, hairy dwarf man (Uglier than that priest from the Shino Laughing episode), who, to terrify his foes, strips into a very, very small Blue Speedo with 'Dwarven Pride' on the back side. Combined with his ability to enlarge his head and do horrifying faces, he is capable of startling even savage and determined gods to a point they flee to another dimension. He also likes chocolate, dislikes Russians and smells.
Oh yes, and watch out for exploding Donkey's. And as to a few complaints about the Sharingan, I'll answer them today. This chapter is a more tragic chapter, and next chapter will be devoted to what Anko's plan really is, and her true form. Taisune also makes his last appearence here for this story.
Bridge; Wave (Naruto's POV)
Trapped in this, giant ice dome, and with this acidic mist in the air, we were screwed. Both Sasuke and I were burning, though at least Sasuke might not look like a vampire now (Not foreshadowing) and actually have some color to his skin.
Mei appeared immune to the mist, while Haku was hiding inside the ice to avoid being harmed.
"Urg...Sasuke we can't let it end like this" Naruto grumbled, before drawing a Kunai, and sending it flying at Mei. Mei twitched, the blade impacting the ice dully.
"FIRE RELEASE; FIRE BALL JUTSU!" Sasuke blasted the ice with the concentrated fire attack, but the fire dissipated without real effect. Haku eyed them.
"This ice can't be melted by such a low level fire jutsu. Though you have spirit, we will bury you" cheerful. Snarling, Naruto formed the shadow clone seal.
"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" a trio of clones appeared, before they steamed out.
"Damn, the steam's messing them up to"
Sasuke's POV
No, it can't end like this. After managing to reactive the sharingan, which I forgot I did activate, I'm to be defeated, here, without bringing that murderer to justice! It was even more important now, after that dream...
Flashback
Sasuke stood on a rocky ruin, adorned with various destroyed objects looking almost like giant cups of ramen. A destroyed city, that oddly looked familiar to Sasuke, stood beneath him. No birds were chirping, no insects were buzzing, it was totally lifeless. No clouds were in the sky, but nothing good seemed to radiate down from above. The moon above appeared to glow red, or was it just him.
"Greetings, Sasuke-kun" a voice said. Turning around, Sasuke found himself staring into the eyes, of the stranger from the bridge, the brown cloaked man.
"WHO ARE YOU, AND HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET IN MY DREAMS!" The man chuckled.
"I'm surprised your not thanking me, I mean all your dreams involve either why, or how, your going to gain revenge, I think this is a nice change in pace. But to as to names, my name is not mine in the places I walk now a days, so call me...I need a interesting name...Taisune, yeah I'll take that for now" Sasuke glared at the overgrown baka.
"I have come to speak to you, for a purpose. Its about the path you take, tell me, what is it you wish to do with your life?" Sasuke eyed him.
"Its not a wish, but my destiny, to defeat my brother, and restore my clan!" Taisune rose an eyebrow.
"Sasuke-kun, you seek revenge. Don't" Sasuke eyed him like he just said something outrageous, like Guy was a fashion genius, that you couldn't here Sakura, or that the Hyuga's weren't perverts!
"WHAT, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE SUFFERED..."
"This is my home" he said calmly. Sasuke stopped mid rant.
"I've seen friends, relatives, even my beloved wife, all killed before me. And no one was there to fill any void...no one to replace my teachers, my friends, and even that guardian devil of mine can't replace my wife..even if their boobs are the same luscious size...DAMN YOU GODFATHER, STILL YOUR PERVERSENESS INFECTS ME!" he appeared depressed now.
"Um..." Sasuke prompted. Taisune shook himself out of it.
"Um...ignoring my little tirade, you need to understand something, its about your teammate, Naruto of the Shadow Clone, or at least I'm willing to bet he could get such a title one day" Sasuke cocked his head like a hawk.
"Wait, do you know something, about why everyone hates him? I mean, he's a dobe, but half the people seem to want him dead. And that guy is far too innocent..even if he has that Sexy jutsu of his, to have killed anyone or done something that would similarly galvanize such hatred."
"It's scary, the people of Konoha seem to hate him more than I hate Itachi, possibly" Taisune shook his head.
"Its not my place to tell you why, I don't feel like breaking the Sandiame's decrees, but I can give it to you in an version edited for you young folks. You see, when he was born, Naruto-kun was born to a powerful destiny, of which only 9 people can ever hope to have at any one time, though only 8 exist at this point, a piece of the puzzle is a free agent right now. But ignoring Franklin..."
"Franklin?" Taisune grinned.
"You'd know it if you were in on it, its actually sort of funny. Anyway, he's Konoha's only fragment, Kumo and Iwa have two, Suna, Taki and Kiri have one, formerly two for them but they lost Franklin a while ago. However, with such power, comes fear."
"Power, the dobe?" Taisune sighed.
"Don't call him that, though your better than most I've met. However, the power he holds inside of him, which grants him all his chakra levels, in fact out of the nine pieces, he holds the largest of them, much more than Garfield, Zaboomafo or Bessie do, also gives fear. People can't look at him most of the time, without seeing that power, and not the orange knucklehead before it. I mean really, he's far too obtuse, generally dimwitted and oblivious with females to be it anyway."
"Um, okay, not sure what your talking about, but the dimwitted is true enough, same with the rest"
"Your all lucky really, as Naruto-kun is a remarkable case. His type, normally turn into psychopath man haters by his age, unless people care for him of course; be it Onoki and Roshi, Harusame and Utakata, Yashamaru and Gaara...until it happened for whatever reason it did. Don't by the act if you ask me. Never mind, my own rant there, and of course Kumo's Yugito and Bee. Kumo loves his kind, treats them right, they even have their own holiday. Perhaps he should have been targeted that day instead of young Hinata-chan's...would have been less complicated. Hell, they might have celebrated his abduction. Hypocritical really, they just create their own freaks to prove that they all are freaks. Kami bless those who aren't complete and utter morons" Sasuke swore he started seeing after images of the Sandiame, Iruka and a few of those nice to Naruto after that.
"How is it you know about that! That was a secret kept hidden in Konoha, I only heard it from Tou-san once in passing!" Taisune grinned.
"Trust me kid, I know many things, but never mind that, I must be gone soon, so I pass on to you, a few words of wisdom. First, try looking at things through a different set of eyes, I believe your family can do that? And second" Taisune began to fade away.
"The destruction of your clan by Itachi, and the torments of Naruto, are related"
(End Flashback)
So, he tried his eyes out, and found out he had activated the Sharingan at 1 Tomoe each at some point. Must of happened during the Massacre, wonder why he forgot?
But now, they were practically trapped, and Sasuke had a bad feeling he knew why. Kakashi probably was waiting for Naruto to be poached to death, and then save him?
Or, if that Taisune dream guy indicated, he was waiting for Naruto's hidden power, whatever it was, to be unleashed, and then kill him. None of the possibilities sounded good.
"Hey, Naruto" Sasuke hissed quietly, as did his skin cells. Naruto nodded discreetly.
"Get ready to make some clones, I have a plan" Naruto nodded, as Sasuke pulled off Horse and Tiger.
"FIRE RELEASE; GREAT FIREBALL TECHNIQUE!" a fireball was sent into the air, evaporating the mist around and below it as it uselessly impacted against the top of the ice dome.
"Such a jutsu is pointless, just submit" Haku commented, before both she and Mei twitched in shock.
"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" a hundred shadow clones of Naruto filled the now mist less space left by the fireball, all grinning like mad clones.
"DUCK AND COVER!" the real Naruto and Sasuke ducked into the misty corners of the ice dome, as the clones exploded, blasting the ice dome off the face of the bridge.
"MY BRIDGE!" Tazuna wailed, though as the mist cleared the bridge had suffered no severe damage. A panting Naruto and Sasuke were now staring down Mei and Terumi, equally as tired, and twice as shocked.
"But, how..." The combo was supposed to be foolproof, and now they were both out of chakra, while each of them seemed to have enough for a short fight, or in Naruto's case a medium one. Haku's mask had also fallen off, revealing both of their real faces.
(Naruto's POV)
Naruto's eyes were wide. Right before him were two beautiful girls, and all his age. And as a bonus, they could actually fight and weren't useless dead weights.
"That, was impressive, Mei-san, Haku-san" Naruto panted politely, getting the two girls surprised looks, and Sasuke's as well "You both are really good" Naruto noticed the fight between that guy and Zabuuza, and that guy was winning.
If Zabuuza was defeated, perhaps they could be convinced to come back to Konoha.
He could possibly gain some friends, and the village would gain two promising Ninja. Jiji was always talking about the Will of Fire, and how love, kindness and forgiveness was the only way to bring peace.
He'd be kind and forgiving, and give both of them a new life, and perhaps if he brought three, whatever that 'kekkei genkai' stuff was, he wasn't really sure, he'd be able to gain some respect. People might look at him nicer, and it would help him get to being Hokage.
Not to mention, maybe one might take him on a date one day. Or at least, he could gain another friend...
"CHIDORI!" Kakashi appeared behind the both of them, with a sparking hand. Naruto's eyes were wide, as were Haku's, Sasuke's and Mei's
"WAIT..." both were stabbed straight through the chests...dead. As they slumped to the ground, Naruto was enraged.
"HEY, WE COULD HAVE CONVINCED THEM TO COME BACK TO KONOHA WITH US, NEW KEKKEI GENKAI..." Kakashi glared down at him.
"They are the enemy, thus they must die. They were only good for unlocking Sasuke-san's Sharingan anyway" Naruto caught the real message, his real thoughts behind what he did.
'You will not be given a chance to gain any more leverage for your continued survival, you dirty little freak. These Kiri whores respected you, and a freak like you doesn't deserve anything but hatred'
Sasuke looked similarly disturbed, perhaps seeing other, nearly extinct Kekkei Genkai destroyed like that was unnerving for him.
"So, you just left us both in a sauna of death, just to see if my Sharingan would activate? A little extreme, isn't it?" Sasuke commented. Hatake did that annoying smile of his.
"People learn best in the field, after all. You can't gain the Sharingan without real experience" Naruto had a bad feeling about his, other motives.
Put him in a life and death situation, hope I get nearly killed, then I might let that power out, however slightly, then use that as justification to give me that Chidori.
"MEI-CHAN, HAKU-CHAN!" ZABUUZA roared, seeing their dead bodies, "YOU BASTARD, I WILL KILL YOU!" Zabuuza drew his sword and leaving the strange guy behind, sped at Kakashi with real killer intent. Kakashi smirked.
"Die, you Kiri trash...CHIDORI!" the blade and jutsu clashed, as the great cutting blade sliced across Kakashi's chest, leaving a giant scar from his left shoulder to his right foot, not only, impacting any ability to have children, judging by his scream of pain, but also slashing the book in his pocket apart.
"MY ICHA ICHA!" Kakashi collapsed to the ground, but before Zabuuza could hack his neck off like a chicken, a dozen kunai impacted into his back, by a army of thugs led by a short old man, Gato.
"Your fired" he said simply as Zabuuza collapsed dead, before he turned to the rest of them "So, looks like I'm going to have two huge bounties added to my account book this month, the bridge builder dead, and I won't have to pay these lumps. Too bad this Copy Ninja killed those two, well looks like we're have to use two dead ones in addition to the pink one" Sakura epped in fear, Tazuna grimaced, while Naruto was furious.
That, that bastard, stopping Zabuuza from killing Bastard-teme!...
Naruto sighed, Jiji said something about getting angry, if he did that could give the Teme his chance. Calmly, he drew a shurikan, and sent it flying at the armed forces. They easily dodged the metal attack.
"Ha, is that all you got, BOY!" Gato laughed. Naruto smirked.
"Nope, and I'm sorry Tazunna-san, for the giant hole I'm going to have to repair after this, for it seems I missed a me" under the mob, a huge explosion ensured, as a giant rip in the bridge peeled open, sending Gato and his thugs into the desolate sea below.
"HELP, I CAN'T SWIM!" Gato wailed, before silence. Tazunna blinked.
"He's, dead. And all it took, WAS A SUPER HOLE IN MY BRIDGE! PLEASE FIX IT..."
"BAKA!" Sakura yelled in fury, causing more of the bridge to break from the intense volume "HOW DARE YOU TAKE THE GLORY FROM SASUKE-KUN..." Naruto ignored her and looked at the dead forms of Haku, Mei and Zabuuza, before making the shadow clone seal.
"Shadow clone jutsu" he said dead panned, as a small procession of Naruto's formed around the bodies, with the real one taking Zabuuza's sword.
"DON'T YOU IGNORE ME! BAKA...!"
"Shut up and train for once" Naruto glared at the girl, shutting her up for once "There is no glory here, only sorrow. No one won here, no one but death" Naruto took the bodies, hoping at least to give them a decent burial.
Sasuke sighed sadly
"SASUKE-KUN, STOP THE BAKA..."
"You know, we really should get Kakashi back to Tazuuna's house to heal" Sasuke took the injured man, and taking care not to step in anything, left. Tazuna followed him, oddly with more grace around the giant hole and much then Sakura.
"EW, I THINK I STEPPED ON, EW EW EW!"
Meanwhile watching the battle's afterglow (Anko's POV)
"He has a point" Anko was startled as that Taisune guy appeared behind her, scaring the living, or unliving, daylights out of here.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" Taisune smirked.
"That's not really important, but I do believe you have a date with two dead bodies? Oh, and try not to make it obvious, hate to see Hatake blamed by his Sensei's son, no" Taisune vanished (This time for good, I may add). Anko blinked in shock.
WHAT!
