Hey guys!
New chapter, two in two days im on a roll!
Anyways before we start I have read you reviews and i would like to yet again thank you for them :3 love you guyz.
Anyways to answer a few questions.
1st: Katalina471 'Will there be parings?'
There are currently pairings. These are Kiba and Hinata. Shikamaru and Temari. Neji and Tenten. Ino is single, but was in a relationship which will be revealed much much later! Sakura and Sasuke are not a pairing!
2nd: bankai777 'Does Naruto know the Rasengan and Rasenshuriken and Hiraishin?'
The story is set just after the Pain arc, so he knows the different Rasengan varieties and possibly a few more. However I have yet to decide about the Hiraishin. Probably not as it would make him litterally un-kill-able which is a bit too much.
ENJOY!
Hawke stood before the Hokage, Elders and the council which included all of the clan heads. Aburame, Akimichi, Hyuga, Inuzuka, Nara and finally the Yamanaka clan. Along with them were Danzo, Homura and Koharu. They were all sat around a long table with Tsunade at the head. Hawke was opposite the Hokage at the far end of the table.
"Lady Hokage, why have I been summoned before the Konoha council?" Hawke asked suspiciously.
"As the former sensei to Kitsune we are requested that you inform us of not only his abilities but his background." Homura said.
"You basically want all my information about Kitsune?" Hawke said with a sigh. "Look I can tell you some things, however key information can only be handed out by Kitsune himself. It's not my place to say about his background, however I will tell you about his skills somewhat."
The council nodded, that was fair enough.
"Kitsune came to me around seven years ago. He was battered and bruised beyond recognition. After seeing his pain first hand I decided to train him. I stopped training him four years ago. I have seen him fight once since those four years ended." Hawke began. "His Taijutsu is superb, he is about on par with your master Might Guy, maybe a little lower but he is beyond anything the other Hunters can touch. If they were to both remove their weights then Kitsune would have the upper hand. Guy has 1000 pounds of weights on him, any normal user would be crushed but Guy isn't normal. Kitsune has near enough 2000 pounds of weights and he is lightning fast. "
The council exchanged worried glances at this. Guy was world renowned for being one of the best, if not the best at Taijutsu could be beaten by an outsider.
"Ninjutsu wise Kitsune is the best. He can perform most of his Jutsus without hand signs. He actually has complete mastery over all five elements however his strongest elements are easily Wind and Earth. I would say that Kakashi Hatake has nothing on his skill." Hawke said.
"Genjutsu wise, well let's just say I would not want to be on the receiving end of his genjutsu. He has a self developed genjutsu called Demon Hell Jutsu and I can only base what I've seen on it. From what it looks like it sends the person under immense pain within their minds, like going through hell. The damage is then also taken in this world which can rip apart a person easily." Hawke said.
"Kitsune also has mastery over a kind of Jutsu style known as Purge. I have no information about this other than it is beyond powerful. However Kitsune does have a weakness." Hawke said.
The council all leaned forwards, determined not to miss what Hawke had to say.
"Kitsune's anger and sadness will get the better of him. He can lose control and if so I would either run or fight him. His anger fuels his Jutsu and makes him stronger. But it makes him weaker as well. Listen to me, this kid has been through more pain than you can imagine." Hawke said.
"What about family and friends?" Koharu asked.
"Kitsune has no family alive, and his friends are few. He is particularly close to myself, Kisame and Itachi. Whilst be good friends with the other Hunters. His contact network is huge and he is on good terms with several powerful people." Hawke said.
"Hmm. You say about him having now alive family. What family did he have?" Tsunade asked.
"I cannot discuss this. It is not my place." Hawke said sternly. "Is this meeting complete?"
Danzo stood then, looking towards Tsunade.
"Tsunade there are things that the council wish to discuss alone. Would you mind giving us some time?" He said.
Tsunade nodded and motioned for Hawke to leave with her. They exited through the doors as the council began its discussion. They walked in silence going through the various corridors leading out of the Palace.
"Lady Hokage would you mind coming to the Hospital. There is something you and the Konoha 11 need to hear." Hawke said softly.
Tsunade nodded, studying him curiously. The man had put on a cold face as if the news he was about to break pained him deeply. The pair walked off heading quickly to the hospital. Several minutes later they arrived. Tsunade led him through the hospital to the area assigned for the Konoha 11. They walked in to see the entire 11 sitting in a sort of circle. They quickly broke the various conversations upon seeing the Hokage and the middle aged Hunter.
"Konoha 11, Tsunade." Hawke said. "If you would follow me."
The Konoha 11 and Tsunade stood, following him to the massive window along the east side of the hospital. The window looked out over training ground 6. This was a basic Taijutsu training ground with heavy wooden posts. In the centre currently working over one of these posts was Kitsune. He was running through his Taijutsu style, quickly gaining speed until he was a blur.
"I see he's still there." Hawke sighed. "I have brought you here to tell you a little about your new mentor Kitsune."
The Konoha 11 were immediately alert. Several of them leaned on chairs or tables as they watched Kitsune crush the post before moving on. Sakura particularly was feeling the effects of the beating. She had broken her left arm and right leg, along with various ribs.
"Kitsune arrived to me several years ago. I trained him for three years, teaching him everything I could. He went through hell but came out stronger. He progressively became too strong for even me to train him. He learned Jutsu after Jutsu, developing and editing them. After two years he became a Hunter, An elite. He stayed with me for another year before leaving. Within three years he had nearly surpassed me as the top Hunter. After that he disappeared, in his Hunter year he had carried out one hundred and twenty four missions all S-rank or higher. His reputation was world renowned. He became known as Kitsune the Demon of the Hunters. But suddenly he vanished. For two years we heard nothing from him. Not one message. Several high ranking missing ninja whom we had been searching for turned up at our base dead but other than that nothing. I soon learned that during those two years he had found himself a wife. A civilian from Tanzaku Quarters. He had married her and together they had a baby girl." Hawke said smiling at the memories of meeting his goddaughter.
"But alas his happiness that he had spent his whole life trying to find was shattered. Together he and his family had settled in the south of the Land of Earth. They had lived there for 2 years with their little family when a group of 80 Iwa ninjas came across them. Even though they presented no danger the Iwa ninja attacked. They destroyed the house and kidnapped Kitsune's wife and child whilst he was fighting off 70 of the ninja. He quickly massacred them before giving chase. It took him weeks before he found them. They had stopped off at a large village bordering with the land that the Hidden Rain controlled. They had given the wife to Pein for one of his bodies. Kitsune arrived as they were making the transfer and what he saw horrified even the most hardened warrior like Kitsune." Hawke said sadly staring out at the man whose life had been hell.
"His wife had been decapitated and ripped apart like they were wild animals. His child...his child was lying dead at her feet. Pein had taken her body for himself and made her one of the paths. Then he had killed the child before her. Forcing her to do it. Kitsune quickly rescued his daughter's body, sending her away with one of his clones. It was then that Pein engaged him with his wife's body. Kitsune saw this and was filled with rage, hatred and sadness. Every emotion of pain and rage that throughout his life that had built up was released right then and there. He wiped that village off the face of the earth in a matter of seconds. Pein managed to escape with her body but the two hundred Iwa ninja and their families were not so lucky. That was the price for ripping the only happiness Kitsune had in his life from him." Hawke, pain filling his voice.
"Kitsune took the next week building a grave for his child, currently she is buried within the land of fire in a place where only myself and Kitsune know. I only knew my godchild for a matter of weeks before she was ripped from my life. I share Kitsune's hatred however I can control mine. You see since he was a child Kitsune was hated, he was beaten and abused. Even as he grew up he was hated and his only chance of being loved was taken. Since then in the past year Kitsune has trained beyond what a normal person could do. He created the Purge Style. A style that is fuelled by his anger and pain. The Jutsu style takes his emotions and turns into pure chakra, the more powerful the emotion the more powerful the chakra. White is normal emotion, whilst red is pure anger, hatred or sadness. Red is a force of destruction that chooses his worst memories and imprints them into his mind permanently. The downside is that his worst memories are always at the front of his mind and until he can find peace again he will be filled with anger and hatred." Hawke explained.
The Konoha 11 exchanged glances, each of them now looking on Kitsune in a new light. They had all been through pain and suffering but to have something of that magnitude throughout his life was unimaginable.
"Excuse me, Hawke sir." Lee said.
"Yes?" Hawke responded sadly.
"I would like to hear more about this wife of Kitsune's." Lee said. The rest of the Konoha 11 nodded in agreement.
"Where do I begin. Well her name was Mika, her parents were poor shop opens living in Tanzaku, they owned a small clothing shop that was being targeted by a local gang. Kitsune got rid of the gang and they offered a room for him. He quickly bonded with Mika as they had both been abused in their younger life. However unlike him she was filled with happiness, she brought out whatever good was left in him and finally he found peace. She was what could been known as beautiful. She had dark red hair, alone with bright blue eyes. Eyes a lot like Kitsune's. She was medium height but when she was angry she could fill a room. Everything about her screamed happiness and love." Hawke said smiling.
"Thank you Hawke." Tsunade said. "I'm sure we all see Kitsune in a new light now."
The Konoha 11 nodded watching as Kitsune increased his speed yet. They could hear his grunts of agony as he pushed his body beyond normal limits.
"The other reason I gathered you here was tomorrow you are meeting him for your first training session and I'm here to prepare you. He will train you with ruthlessness. He seems to hold something against this village and he will push you beyond what you thought you could do. You will feel pain in places you thought you could feel pain. But you will come out stronger. You will be strong but not as strong as him. Unless you have the drive and know what it is like to suffer you will fail and be reduced to nothing. However if you embrace his methods you will become easily twice as powerful as before. Kitsune is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful shinobi alive." Hawke said staring at them. "Do what he says and you will gain power you didn't know you had. Ignore him and you will be removed from his training and sent back. Got it?"
The Konoha 11 nodded, glancing at each other. They noticed it was dark outside and all began to moved away, heading to each of their respective rooms. Sakura and Sasuke however stood looking out over the training ground. They noticed that Kitsune had vanished from the ground. Hawke and Tsunade too had left the room, heading back to their respective living areas.
"We should go and talk to him." Sasuke said.
Sakura nodded. The tale of Kitsune reminded them of an old teammate they missed dearly and they wanted to just talk with Kitsune. They wanted to know the extent of his pain. The pair left, Sasuke supporting and injured Sakura. Sasuke himself was injured but put on a tough outer shell. His ribs were broken along with one of his shoulders. But he powered on to find Kitsune. Kitsune reminded him of his best friend, the man he missed the most.
Naruto.
The pair arrived at the hotel where the Hunters were staying. Loki, Michu, Cinna and Kisame had left earlier, heading off to the towards the frontline. Sakura and Sasuke entered quickly looking around. Kitsune was nowhere to be seen.
"Have you seen Kitsune? He's a hunter and is completely covered in black along with a face mask and hood." Sakura asked the receptionist.
"No such man has booked into this hotel. Every other Hunter has but we haven't seen him. He hasn't even brought in any of his stuff." The receptionist informed them.
Sakura sighed, turning to Sasuke and shaking her head. The pair quickly headed off checking every Hotel around. Every single one gave them the same answer. However when they asked at the front gate they did get one good response.
"We saw him heading into the forest on the eastern side." Kotetsu said.
"Thank you!" Sakura said as she and Sasuke rushed off to find Kitsune.
The pair quickly covered most of the forest before coming across a small clearing. In the middle stood a large tree covered in vines. On one of the highest branches sat Kitsune. Around the base of the tree several families of foxes sat huddled together asleep. Kitsune himself sat staring out through a gap in the trees at the dark sky. Stars glittered and shone throughout. On his lap lay a small fox, his tail wrapped around him like a blanket. It was a surprisingly peaceful scene.
"What do you want?" Kitsune said, the beginnings of anger in his voice.
"We wanted to talk." Sasuke said, beginning to move forwards.
Immediately the foxes around the trees perked up moving in front of Sasuke. They blocked his approach.
"About what." Kitsune sighed.
"We heard about your wife and child." Sakura started. "We wanted to-"
"Look I don't need your sympathy. I'm here because I was ordered to, not for your help." Kitsune said cutting her off.
"Why are you not at the hotel?" Sasuke asked.
"What's the point?" Kitsune responded.
Sakura and Sasuke glanced at each other, they could hear the sadness in his voice. It was sadness that only someone who had lost everything could have. It was the sadness that meant someone was barely getting through life.
"What do you mean? Why be here when you could be enjoying the comfort of a room? Surely you would want that after so long in the field?" Sakura asked.
"You don't get it. There is not point as I don't sleep." Kitsune said.
"What? Everyone sleeps? You cannot live without sleeping?" Sakura said, concern as a medic coming into her voice. Lack of sleep could have severe mental health issues.
"Do you not get it?" Kitsune said sadly. "I cannot sleep because of what comes when I do."
It was then that Sasuke and Sakura noticed the tear drops falling from the branch. They took this moment to leave, with Sakura taking one final glance at Kitsune. She saw him look up at the stars before whispering two names.
"Mika. Kushina." He whispered as tears rolled down his cheek.
