Chapter 24
Wave – Part 1
Naruto Uzumaki, adopted son of the Merchant of the West, Ankiseth Uzumaki, was pretty sure that nothing in the world will ever surprise him since he turned ten years old and learned the secrets of Magic, today though, his beloved father showed him that there is always something new to be surprised of
"What in the world?!...", Naruto managed to mutter, in front of him was a man that looked exactly like him, just more mature, and without whiskers
"Surprising, isn't it?", Ankiseth asked, showing his foxy grin
"Who is this man?", Naruto asked, his knees shaking, somehow he knew the answer, but he refused to believe it until his father confirmed it
"Naruto... I know I haven't been here for you, but believe me, I am your Father...", Minato replied, and this time Naruto fell to his knees, tears coming out of his eyes freely, but they weren't of happiness
"Daddy?...", Naruto asked, controlling his voice as much as he could
"Yes?", both Ankiseth and Minato asked at the same time, but Naruto turned to face Ankiseth, making Minato flinch
"Tell me what the hell is going on", Naruto demanded, unable to hide the rage on his voice
Hokage tower...
Sarutobi was thinking about the events to come, and the choices he had made until now, but one particular choice was eating his mind, a choice he knew that will affect the shinobi nations to their core
=Flashback=
"I'm afraid you don't understand, I'm here to help you, I'm here to make you an offer you can't refuse", Ankiseth replied, his smile no longer sweet and warm, but sadistic
"W-What do you want?!", Sarutobi stuttered, trembling in fear, unable to move at all
"As I stated before, I'm here to help you, but I believe that an image is worth more than a thousand words, so, let me show you", Ankiseth replied, and then the Hokage Crystal ball came flying from it's spot to the desk in front of the Hokage, who was starting to freak out
"How did you?...", Sarutobi tried to ask, but wasn't able to finish
"That is unimportant, just look into the crystal ball, this one is special, and not only for it's extended sight, but it also shows the future", Ankiseth stated, and Sarutobi watched the images in the crystal ball, he saw it all, the chinin exams, Orochimaru, the invasion, the death of dozens of his shinobies and, his own death at the hands of his disciple...
"No... it can't be... I can't allow it!", Sarutobi stated, but he knew better, he was too old to make a better stand that what he saw
"There is were I come in the picture, I can help you to overcome all of this disaster", Ankiseth explained, and Sarutobi looked at him intently, mesmerized by hi now foxy grin, looking so friendly
"How?", Sarutobi asked, ready to pay the price
"It's quite simple, really, you just have to sign this harmless bunch of papers, and I'll do the rest", Ankiseth explained while handling the document to the Hokage, who took it eagerly, but stopped before signing it
"What does this document states?", Sarutobi asked, refusing to read the document
"Just the salvation of your life, the lives of all your shinobies, and the victory of your village in that day... at the cost of only one soul, quite a deal if you ask me, I really feel generous this time", Ankiseth explained, Sarutobi looked at him intently for a second, and then signed the document...
=End of Flashback=
Sarutobi was still Remembering this, when the door of his office opened, and Kakashi's team entered the room, Sarutobi eyed them for a moment, Sasuke was still the same power crazed boy, all surrounded in darkness, Neji was stoic as always, he knew that there was something troubling him, and it was most likely to be related to his cousin Hinata, Tenten, she was the most troubled of all, it was obvious that she wanted to hug the Hyuga prodigy, but there was something the stopped her to do so, and it wasn't the Hyuga in question, because more than once they had been caught making out in very improper ways
"We are here as you requested, Hokage-sama", Kakashi announced, earning the attention of the Hokage
"Very well, as I told you yesterday, I found a C-rank mission different to patrolling the surrounding areas, just as you asked some months ago", Sarutobi stated, earning the attention of the genins
"What is this about?, getting rid of some bandits, perhaps rescuing someone?", Sasuke asked in anticipation, he was tired of patrolling, and wanted some action to gauge his strength, to become stronger, however, Sarutobi didn't had a chance to explain, for the door opened again, allowing entrance to a half drunken old man
"These are the ones supposed to protect me?, you gotta be kidding, just a bunch of kids!", Tazuna stated, with a drunken voice
"Just a bunch of kids?", Tenten muttered with disgust
"Don't worry, the other team will arrive soon", Sarutobi stated, and this earned Kakashi's and Sasuke's rage
"WHAT OTHER TEAM?!", Sasuke shouted, feeling insulted by this turn of events
"Hokage-sama, do you not trust us?", Kakashi asked
"Team 7 will accompany you, just in case things could get out of hand", Sarutobi quickly stated, and the changes on the moods weren 't unnoticed
"WHAT?!", Neji almost shouted, the last person he wanted to see was one of the members of that team, Sasuke and Kakashi looked at each other, and smiled evilly at the turn of events
"Calm down, Neji, this could turn good", Tenten whispered to Neji, smiling at him, for this time the other members of their team will not be looking at them
"Oh, and this Team 7 is experienced?", Tazuna asked in an almost mocking voice, and then the door opened one more time
"Enough to scare the crap out of S-ranked criminals, why do you ask?, are you being hunted by someone dangerous?", Anko playfully asked, and Tazuna flinched at that
"N-No!, of course not!, is just that this other kids looks like a bunch of bandits will end raping them!", Tazuna quickly defended, and Tenten had to restrain Neji from killing the drunk man
"That's very believable, though you shouldn't let appearances deceive you", Naruto stated, Tazuna weighted his outfit and stance, wide brim hat, long coat, and an air of evilness that sent shivers thru his spine
"Aye!, we are far stronger than our looks give away!", Lee continued, and that made Tazuna to reconsider things, for that boy looked capable of breaking him in two without feeling anything at all
"But relax, as long as you are on our good graces, we'll protect you with ease!", Hinata added, and Tazuna freaked out completely, he needed a way to get out of this, and he needed it soon, the last thing he needed was to be escorted by a group of psychos
"Hummm... Hokage-sama, I think I can't pay enough for two teams...", Tazuna tried to escape, but it was foiled
"Nonsense!, they need the exercise!, besides, money is not an issue, you just won a two-for-one escort team", Sarutobi quickly sealed the contract, and dismissed the man and two teams out of his office, with the advise of departing early the next day, but Naruto held his ground, until he was alone with the Hokage
"Something wrong, Naruto?", Sarutobi asked
"Yes, Hokage-sama", Naruto replied coldly, and Sarutobi flinched at his voice
"What is it?", Sarutobi asked, feeling bad for not being called grampa or old man
"Why have you hiden the truth from me?, why did you hide from me my heritage?", Naruto asked, venom added to his words
"N-Naruto, w-what h-have y-you h-heard?", Sarutobi stuttered, very afraid from this situation, until someone cam out from a shadow in the wall, someone well known by Sarutobi
"Everything", Minato replied, with an angry face that promised destruction, suffering and pain
Next morning...
"Are you ok, Naruto-sama?", Anko asked, not only she has grown to love Naruto as her master, but the way he looked depressed was very bad
"Let him be, he has got so much information to handle in so little time, he just need to vent his frustration", Hinata replied for Naruto, while guiding his face to lay on her breast, caressing his hair for further comfort
"Look, the kids are coming", Lee said, pointing to team 9, Neji and Tenten were walking close to each other, and Sasuke was eyeing team 7, as if trying to look intimidating
"Who are you calling kid, you brute?", Sasuke challenged, but Lee just ignored him
"Hinata-nee-san!, that's very improper behaviour!", Neji shouted scandalized at Hinata's way to comfort the Uzumaki boy
"Mind your own business, Neji-nii-san, I'm not the one who practises the Kamasutra in an almost daily basis", Hinata defended, and as Neji and Tenten turned tomato red, Anko exploded in laughter
"It's good to see you in good spirits, are we ready to go?", Tazuna asked as he reached the gate, where the genins were reunited
"Almost, only Kakashi-hentai is missing, of course if you are in a hurry we can go without him or his genins", Anko replied, filling great satisfaction on calling names on Kakashi
"Don't be so hasty, Anko!, Tazuna, we are ready to go now", Kakashi stated as he too arrived at the place
Two hours later...
The group was walking on the road, Naruto was still depressed, and angry, but the only ones to notice it, were his team, Tenten was holding Neji's arm, uncaring of the world, Neji, besides enjoying the touch of his girlfriend, was mounting guard, usuing his byakugan from time to time, just to make sure that the road was really clear, Kakashi was reading one of his orange books, when he noticed something out of place
'A puddle of water, at noon, with no clouds and no previous rain, I wonder if Anko and her team have noticed', Kakashi thought, and found his answer in the diabolic grins of team 7, and Kakashi could only feel pity for whoever was following them, he turned to look at his team, and only Neji seemed to be aware of the danger, he wanted to warn Sasuke, if only to make him able to watch whatever technique team 7 could pull out
"DIE!!!", two voices shouted, it was too late to warn Sasuke
Kakashi watched with pride how Neji and Tenten quickly guarded Tazuna, both ready to take on whoever dared to face them, Sasuke turned around ready for a fight, but the enemies were many, water clones as Kakashi was able to discern, all of them wearing the same attire, and massive clawed gauntlets, however, neither Kakashi of his team needed to move, in just an instant, the clones were destroyed, Naruto blasted many of them with his gun, one chakra bullet was able to pierce many of them at the same time, Hinata just danced among them slicing them in unneeded many tiny parts, Anko's chains darted to anyone who seemed to get closer to Tazuna, while Lee only punched a few ones, soon, all the clones were gone
"HA!, they didn't last!, not een a little!", Lee voiced his disappointment, but as he turned to go to his companions, the true enemies came out of his hiding spot, and covered the muscled boy with their bladed chains, however, when they tried to pull the chains to destroy the boy, Lee just grabbed the chains, and pulled them to him, slamming his fists at their stomachs
"Your filthy and honourless trick don't work with me... NOW GET LOST!!!", Lee shouted, while throwing the winded shinobies to the nearest tree, breaking the chains with his humongous force, and knocking them out with the brutal impact
"Wow...", Tenten muttered, dumbstruck by the show of brutality
"Impressive, but not as noble as the Juken", Neji stated, mostly because he had to show that kind of face in front of his sensei
"Damn it, too fast!", Sasuke muttered under his breath, for he wasn't able to clearly see the 'Kami no yoroi' he wanted to learn
"Well, well, why don't you go ahead while I make the interrogatory?", Anko gleefully asked, while some wicked spikes came out of his right gauntlet
"Anko-sensei, I want to do the interrogation", Naruto asked, his voice with no emotion
"If you really want... the others may go", Anko said to the rest of the group
15 minutes later...
"Kakashi-sensei, why did you allowed them to do the interrogatory?", Tenten asked, Lee and Hinata were currently cooking some rabbits for lunch, uncaring about anything
"Well, Anko was the head of the interrogation and torture branch, she is proficient on getting all the truth of their enemies, and probably Naruto want to learn her techniques", Kakashi stated, Neji snorted at that, he was pretty sure that Naruto was proficient by himself on torturing people, to him it was more likely he wanted to beat the crap out of them after the info was taken
"Damn it!, I'm tired of this, hey!, you!, bru...", Sasuke's rant against Lee was cut by a ball of light that was over him, Kakashi quickly went to his side, curious about this, until two figures came out of the light, and fell over them, knocking them down due to the force of the fall
"OW!... Yukina-hime, are you alright?", A young boy, with red hair, green eyes, and whiskers on his cheeks asked, he was wearing a crimson jumpsuit with black accents
"Yes, I'm ok, how about you, Arashi-koi?", The girl asked back, her hair was snow white, her skin pale, and her eyes red, she was wearing a purple heavy jacket that covered her pretty much completely, and had black pants at her legs
"Hey!, step out of me!, and who the hell are you?!", Sasuke asked, Kakashi managed to shunshine away, but Sasuke not, the young couple step to the side, and started to bow apologies
"Sorry, we didn't intended to... Sasuko?... OH NO!, SASUKO HAS FOLLOWED US!!!", the boy known as Arashi shouted in panic
"My Name is not Sasuko, is Sasuke!!!", Sasuke shouted enraged, this wasn't the first time he was called like that, the first time was by Lee, who pronounced it wrong, earning the laugh of the entire academy for weeks
"So, you are not Orochi's wife?", Yukina asked
"Of course not!, I'm a boy!, can't you see that?!", Sasuke shouted, but before any more conversation was made, two blood curdling screams filled the air, they were the voices of the shinobies that attacked them before, the screams lasted for 6 minutes, and then only silence, short after, Naruto and Anko were on sight, the first with a wide smile, the other with her face green
"It seems that my dear Naruto was able to vent his frustrations", Hinata sang playfully
"AYE!, but it seems that our sensei saw something too gross for her to take, MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!", Lee laughed
Magnus: Well, there it is, the beginning of the wave arc, hope you are liking it so far, there will be os so much blood and gore, and dirty jokes, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!... ahem!, see ya in next chapter!
