The Baka Rangers', and Negi's, journey to Library Island. Plus Naruto Part 2
Answers in Darkness
"What! If 2-A gets last place again then Negi-sensei gets fired!" Ayaka yelled. "Sakurako way didn't you say anything before now!" Ayaka was semi-strangling Sakurako.
"But, sensei told me not to tell anyone." She said in her defense.
"Regardless, were going to study properly until the exam, and pull the class the out of last. Even the ones that don't take this seriously." Ayaka yelled taking command of the class. "The real problem is the Baka Rangers. Well as long as they don't get zeros I suppose..."
"We got a real problem you guys. Negi and Naruto-sensei along with the Baka Rangers have gone missing!" Haruna yelled alerting the class.
They were all thinking the same thing. 'We may all be screwed after all...'
(Back with the Baka Rangers)
Naruto was exploring the Deep Library. The girls were studying for the test in 2 days, so there were really into it. Really giving those books something fear. Naruto let Negi help the girls, he was looking for something. Some he couldn't explain, he didn't know what he was looking for, only that he'll know it when he sees it. He was wondering this feeling that he had. Was it real? Was it just something in his head? It couldn't be, this feeling was too strong for it to just be in his head. He was following the call in his head, it was leading him somewhere. Where he couldn't be sure. Unknown to him, the girls taken a lunch break. So as we all know, Naruto is being followed. By whom you may ask? By none other than Kaede, and Fei Ku. The two of them were curious to why Naruto would disappear for hours on end only to come about when everyone was asleep last night. Naruto wasn't really paying attention to his stalkers but to the call, it was getting stronger. Then he found something. A tablet of some sort with a big broken chuck of crystal behind it.
"What is this? It looks ancient, and these markings... they look familiar." Naruto said out loud to himself, forgetting that he was being stalked." Then remembered them. 'Crap! I forgot about them.' "Kaede, Fei Ku, get the others, I want to know about this thing here, and Yue knows more about this place then any one." He stated. They both just nodded.
"I'll go, Fei Ku you stay here with sensei." Kaede then left as fast as she could. It wouldn't be long before the rest of the group would get here. Fei Ku was with Naruto. She was looking at him, with awe.
'So this boy is who Kaede talking about?' Fei Ku thought. 'He's cute.'
"Fei Ku can I help you with something?"
"No sensei. Just looking"
"Looking at what?"
"At the rock." (Bold Face Lie)
"Then come get a closer look at it. You can't get a good look from that far." Naruto stated.
"Were here Naruto-sensei." Kaede yelled to get his attention.
"You found something sensei?" Yue asked.
"Yes I did. Care to help me found out what it is?"
Yue approached the rock, and looked at it carefully. Her mind was racing though all of her knowledge to see if she had seen these markings. Then it hit her.
"These markings are ancient Japanese. Dating back at least 10,000 years or so. I can't read most of it as the ancient Japanese language died out long ago." Yue said
"Wow, Yue! I didn't know you were a scholar as well!" Konoka yelled.
"Most impressive!" Negi said excitingly.
"Can you read what you can then Yue?" Naruto ask hopefully.
"Sure thing sensei. The part I can read is the begging and part of the last paragraph or so. It reads...
Here is the Final resting place of the Kitsukage. Who gave his life so others can live in peace. He stopped the great evil of Red Dawn and here are the deeds he did in life. So many were grateful for all of his sacrifices. He was the Destined Child, accursed child, a child build on pain, suffering and misery. But, he was the one to bring peace to the world, for a time. And his true name was...
I'm sorry sensei, it cuts off then. I'll continue reading the bottom...
The Kitsukage had 8 other brothers and sisters in pain. The 8 other Jinchuuriki's names are listed here.
Gaara of the Village Hidden in the Sand he held the 1 tailed Ichibi
Yugito Nii of the Village Hidden in the Clouds she held the 2 tailed Nibi
Yagura of the Village Hidden in the Mist he held the 3 tailed Sanbi
Roushi of the Village Hidden in the Rock he held the 4 tailed Yonbi
Han of the Village Hidden in the Rock he held the 5 tailed Gobi
Utakata of the Village Hidden the Mist he held the 6 tailed Rokubi
Fuu of the Village Hidden in the Waterfall she held the 7 tailed Shichibi
Killer Bee of the Village Hidden in the Cloud he held the 8 tailed Hachibi
All perished at the hands of the Red Dawn. But let not their deaths be in vain for those of the love of the maelstrom outweighs all evil for his words are in the hearts of all and let them fill yours as you read it...
I can't read the last line sensei, I'm sorry. "Yue said.
"That was brilliant Yue. To read text from over 10,000 years is quiet something." Negi said.
"Yeah Yue, it's not like any of us can read something like that." Konoka said quiet impressed as well.
Naruto looked at the bottom of the tablet.
"When one heart touches together, friendship is born, when you realized that a life lived, for someone else, carries no regrets you grow stronger." Naruto said in a trance like state. But his words activated something. As a hidden door behind the tablet and the broken crystal. It leads to stairs to a lower level. Konoka was a little shocked, because she had heard those words before.
"Wow, what this!" Ku asked.
"I don't know?" Kaede replied.
"It must lead to a secret chamber of untold riches!" Makie yelled
"We shouldn't go down there, it could be dangerous!" Negi yelled try to get the idea of them going down the dark creepy stairs out of their minds.
"I'm going. Any willing to come with me I'll protect." Naruto moving to the secret stairs to go lower.
"I'm coming too!" Konoka was the first to volunteer.
"Konoka get back here!" Asuna chased after her.
"Asuna wait!" Negi chased after her.
"I'm coming too" Kaede followed
"Me too." Fei Ku followed.
"I'm not missing a change like this." Yue went in as well.
Makie looked to her right, then her left. She was all only, and she only blinked. She got freaked out as if someone was watching her. "Hey guys wait for me!" She followed them. Naruto lead them down a few levels of a tight circle like staircase. After what were about 10 levels of stairs they came a pawn a big metal looking door. It looked to be solid metal on both sides. More of the ancient markers were here.
"Yue, do you know what this says?"
Yue looked at it. After a minute or so she had a confused look on her face. "It's a riddle."
"A riddle?" Negi ask just as confused. "What does it say?"
"It says.
The Ninth sacrifice...
Born rejected...
Rivers of life...
Flow unaffected...
The son of lighting...
Full of strife...
Sacrificed to bleed...
Only the Jinchuuriki can succeed...
That's all it says sensei."Yue finished the translation.
Underneath that was a 9 pointed star.
"What do you think it means, you guys?" Makie asked the Baka rangers group.
"Sounds like a ritual of some sort." Negi pointed out.
"Yue, is that what it said, word for word?" Naruto asked
"Well sensei, if I translated it right, then yeah." She was wondering why he had asked that.
"Does anyone have some bandages?" He asked the group.
"I do, why?" Konoka answered his question. A little worriedly I might add.
"That's good." Naruto toke out one of his tri-kunai let it spin in his hand so everyone would be in awe before... he plunged it into his hand.
"Naruto!" Konoka yelled
"Why did you do that Naruto!" Kaede ask a little more calmly, but barley.
Naruto didn't answer because he smeared some of his blood on his other 4 fingers. He then shoved the tri-kunai in a small line hole and turned it to the left. He then put his hand on 5 of the points on the star. And his other 4 fingers in another 4 points on the star pushed in and turned left. The door opened and the way was set for them. "The riddle itself is a way to find the key to open the door.'Rivers of life' referred to blood. The 'ninth sacrifice' referred to the nine pointed star. And 'born rejected' means he wasn't normal from the rest, so it needed to be turned left. The 'Flow unaffected' meant the blood flow could not me hindered until the doors open." Naruto explained.
"But sensei, what about the ' The son of lighting, Full of strife, Sacrificed to bleed, Only the Jinchuuriki can succeed' part of the riddle?" Yue asked Naruto.
"The son of lighting was a great warrior, who used weapons like this one." Naruto showed them the tri-kunai. "So I assumed that this, or something like this, was the key.' Full of strife, Sacrificed to bleed' meant that the son of lighting suffered his entire life, so in order to enter, you need to suffer as well."
"What about the 'Only the Jinchuuriki can succeed' part?" Makie asked.
"I don't know, it might mean (insert evil diabolical voice here) an ancient evil come from the past to eat young girls like you hahaha!"
POW
Asuna did her 'Asuna punch' and Naruto had a new lump on his head. "DON'T BE STUPID!"
"Owwie. THAT HURT!" Naruto yell mockingly.
"Well don't scare us like that!"
"Well in all seriousness, it could be a guardian. But I don't know." Naruto said with a smile. "But don't worry; even if a guardian lives here I'll protect you all." Naruto said with his fox like smile. Making most of them blush. The group walked forward to the unknown. Naruto talking the lead, when the long tunnel ended, they saw buildings. Ruined buildings to be exact.
"What is this place?" Makie ask
"I no know." Fei Ku said back.
"Yue, do you know about this?" Konoka asked the Library wiz.
"Don't ask me, I didn't even know that there were ruins here." Yue replied just as shocked as everyone else.
Everyone walk around a bit, and a little spread out. It was quiet until Konoka stepped on a tile, and it gave way.
"Whoa!" Konoka said surprised.
From there, the ground began to glow, and started to make an outline of an animal, it looked like a raccoon.
'You have stepped on sacred ground.'
"Who's there!" Asuna yelled.
'The spirit of sand.'
Everyone look at the center of the area they were in. A white ghost like spirit was there. Naruto also noticed a barrier had formed at the entrance of this place.
"Um, a talking ghost is are cue to leave. Bye." Asuna said as calmly as she could.
'There is no leaving once you've entered.'
"What's that suppose to mean?" Yue said a little freaked.
"It means were not getting out the way we came in. Right spirit of sand?" Naruto pointed out
'Yes, the only way out is forward. Answer my riddle and you may pass on.'
"We don't have a choice, so shoot spirit."
'I have murdered millions, yet I'm innocent of crime. Gold has no value. Yet water is more valuable than gold. Everywhere you look is the same, hot or cold I am the same. Of what do I speck?'
The riddle had every one confused. It made no since to any of them. What or who had killed millions and yet was innocent. Where gold has no value and water is more valuable than gold. A place where every where is the same, and can be hot or cold.
"Does anyone have it yet? I'm drawing a blank." Makie had a dumfounded look on her face.
"I don't know." Kaede said.
"Me ether." Fei Ku also had a dumfounded.
"Negi, you're the teacher solve this so we can get out of here." Asuna whispered to the child teacher.
"I have no clue what the answer is. I was never any good at riddles." Negi replied sacred sense less.
"Were screwed." Asuna slapped her forehead.
"A desert." Everyone looked at Naruto. "A desert can be hot or cold, everywhere you look in a desert is the same. And in a desert gold has no value compared to water." Naruto explained.
'Yes, a desert. I was the 5th Kazekage of the Village hidden in the sand. Gaara of the Desert was my name. I was the one who held the Ichibi. But my father, the 4th Kazekage saw fit to kill me before my 4th birthday. It's a lonely life as one of the nine Jinchuuriki. The Kitsukage risked his life to save mine. Now you have passed my first test. On to the 2nd.'
The spirit was surrounded by white flames and was now, not only flesh, but a monster as well.

"Hahaha!"
Naruto blood ran cold. He had heard this laughter before.
"At least I'm free baby! Too bad I have limits. Now for the rules. We fight till one of us die. And just for incentive! SAND COFFIN!" The Ichibiencased all of the girls and Negi in sand. "Now then. You have till the sand kills your friends to beat me. And based on the weakest one of them. The little human boy. You have 10 minutes. NOT EVEN THAT HAHAHA!"
Naruto's eyes were red. And only Konoka, Kaede and Fei Ku saw that. "This fight..."
"HAHAHA... uh?"
"...Won't last that long." Naruto let his chakra flare up.
"Yes that's it. The Kitsukage had someone he cared for life on the line as well. If you can beat me, then you may move on. Now enough talk. TIME TO DIE!"
The Ichibiattacked with its sand arm. Only to miss Naruto. Again he attacked, and again he missed.
"Hold still!"
The Ichibi could not hit Naruto. Naruto was using his Flying Thunder God Jutsu, the 1 tail's speed was nothing compared to it.
"For endangering the people I care about. I'll show no mercy."
Naruto's voice was cold and uncaring. His eyes were that of red and black. His chakra was still blue, but to Negi, he felt a mass amount of magical energy and Ki, mixed as one. Naruto charged his Rasengan.
"Rasengan!" Naruto made contact the Ichibihead. But he didn't stop; he brought out a tri-kunai, put wind chakra into it, and cut deep into the Ichibisand skin. The scream it made was something to hear. Or covers your ears so you don't go deaf. But Naruto still didn't let up. Using a chakra enhanced fist, he punch strait into the sand skin. Only then did he realize his mistake.
"Hehe, too bad. SAND COFFIN!"
A sickening sound of bone crushing was heard. And Naruto screamed in agony.
"Naruto!" The group yelled worried for him.
Naruto was thrown from the Ichibihead and landed not a few feet from the rest of the group.
"Naruto, are you ok?" Konoka ask first. Looking at his right arm which was bleeding uncontrollable.
"I'll live, thanks Konoka."
"Oh so you like that one huh? Well now, I'll make sure she suffers the most! HAHAHA! Sand Coffin!"
Sand came up onto Naruto's left leg.
"Sand Burial!"
It did its crushing hand motion, and Naruto's left leg was crushed. Konoka screamed at the amount of blood that Naruto was losing.
'No... mustn't... give up... yet...there is... still people... that count... on me...' Sand encased Naruto and with one crushing motion of the Ichibihand. Naruto was crushed to death. Blood went flying everywhere.
"HAHAHA! I WIN, I WIN, I KILLED HIM, I KILLLLLED HIIIM!
"NOOOO!" Konoka yelled with tears coming out of her eyes. All of the others weren't doing much better.
"Now don't worry your pretty little heads. I'm not a complete monster. I'll send you all with him. HAHAHA! Uh?"
"What is this place? I've been here before, but where?"
'Your task is not done...'
'You must return...'
'To them...'
"To who?"
'To the ones that love you...'
"Love me? Who loves me?"
'In time... in time... that question will be answered... but for now... go back...'
"You can't do anything without me."
"Who are you?"
"So you still don't remember? Let me refresh you memory."
Naruto saw it, he saw the parts of his past that he didn't see before. Before, from birth to age 11 was a blank. Nothing from that time frame he could remember. And now, he was glad he didn't remember at first.
"Freak!" a young girl said.
"Monster!" a young boy said.
"I told you to stay away from him!" a father told his child.
"Let's go, it's... its him!"A freaked out boy told his friends.
"He's a monster, don't even look at him." A young girl said with angry in her voice.
A young Naruto could be seen crying.
"The Demon Fox That killed Iruka's parents and nearly destroyed our village is inside you! YOU ARE THE Nine Tailed Fox!" A man with silver hair yelled to a 12 year old Naruto.
"You see you're a monster, a freak. No one, and nothing, can love you. Love, is such an over rated word. It, it's not even real."
"But, they said..."
"It doesn't matter what they said. All that matters in this world is power. Love is nothing compared to power. Hahaha!"
Everyone looked pass the 1 tail. Naruto had just got back up. They even saw his wounds healing by themselves.
"I killed you! How are you still alive!"
Naruto didn't respond to the 1 tails question. He was busy holding his head in pain. The girls and Negi were watching him intensely. Red and black energy were fighting for dominances over Naruto. Negi, even without his powers, sensed great demonic energy coming from Naruto.
"GO AWAY!" Naruto yelled and both energy's left him. He then got on one knee as his strength was gone.
"I don't know how you lived but you die now!" The one tail hammered down its right arm to kill Naruto. Of course it missed Naruto.
"I've had it with you!" Naruto did a few hands signs. 'I didn't want to use anything to flashy but screw it. I'll deal with it later.'
"What do you intend to do. No standard jutsu can harm me! HAHAHA!"
"That's where your wrong big guy. I happen to notice something when I was on your head..."
"Oh, and what might that be?"
"...That there's a lake not too far from here." Naruto finished the hand signs.
"OHHHH SHIT!"
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" From the lake not too far from the fight a giant water dragon came from it and attacked the Ichibi. It slammed into the main body of the Ichibi.
"You ass whole. That hurt!"
"I'm not done yet. Lighting Style:"
"Oh shit!"
"...Lighting Dragon Jutsu!"
The water logged body of the Ichibihad the shock of its life. The water combined with the lighting attack did major damage to the Ichibi.
"I'm not finished yet! Ultimate attack: Spear of Shukaku!" (This is a normal spear not the one on the card or Anime)The Ichibiaimed, not for Naruto, but for Konoka. "If I can't kill you I'll kill someone close to you HAHAHA!" The spear of sand was aimed right for Konoka's heart, and with her immobile she was dead if it hit.
"KONOKA!" The groups yelled as Konoka just watch as it was getting closer to her.
The sound of a spear piercing flesh was heard. When everyone looked they saw Naruto had taken the hit, and it looked like it pierced his heart. The sand spear crumbled so that blood would leak from the wound. Bleeding from the mouth and the wound in his chest. You could compare the wound on his chest to that of a broken dam.
"Are... you alright... Konoka?"
"Naruto? Naruto your hurt you need to get help!"
"Looks like I win for sure this time! HAHAHA!"
"I've had enough of you." The moment he said that, what was left of the Ichibiwas frozen. "Fall to pieces." Naruto snapped his fingers. And the Ichibishattered.
(End Theme song for this fight Gaara's Haunted Music Box from YouTube)
The sand crumbled from the girls and they all ran to Naruto who was on one knee in front of Konoka.
"Naruto are you alright!" Were the bulk of the questions asked.
"Wow, you strong." Fei Ku commented on his strength.
"We need to bandage this up!" Konoka said getting her med pack.
'No! Do not heal him.'
Everyone saw the spirit of sand return. "What! Are you crazy? He'll die without medical attention!" Yelled Asuna.
'No, if he is healed your lives are forfeit.'
"WHAT!"
'It is the rules of the Gauntlet of the Sacrificed. Now I will tell you information about the Kitsukage, as that is your right to hear it. See what the Kitsukage felt as a child.'
Gaara showed them the life of the Kitsukage. The pain the young boy went though they could only feel. The feeling the Kitsukage went though as a child, they could not fathom. Naruto looked on; he knew that this was him. But Gaara, he now remembers from the Chunin exams, only showed a white outline of him as a 7 year old kid. After it was all done, most of them wanted to puke. All they saw was a small 4 years of the kid's life, from 3-7. But that pain that he felt, they only felt a mere fraction of it.
'That is what the Kitsukage went though for most of his life. To learn more go on. And your champion will NOT be healed. THAT is the rules. Good luck, for no one had beaten the Ichibi. In quite some time. And at last, I'm Free.' Gaara vanished.
"Naruto, we need to get you out of here!" Konoka yelled.
"But what about what the spirit said?" Makie ask.
"He said well die if we heal sensei." Yue repeated.
"So what! Do we let him die then!" Asuna was trying to stop the bleeding.
"It's... alright... you two. I... can take it."
"WHAT!"
"But Naruto..."
"DON'T BE STUPID!" Asuna yelled at him.
"If you... heal me, you all... die. It would be... shellfish... of me if... I endanger your life's... for mine." Naruto manage to get out. "Let's keep moving... the longer we talk... the weaker I get... and based on old folk lore... the more tails they have... the stronger they are... and if I remember... there's 10 tails."
All of them were shocked. If THAT was the weakest then the 10 tails would be impossible to beat.
"Let's go... I need... to beat the rest... of them."
Naruto was lumping to the next stage, as best as he could. When he collapsed, Kaede and Fei Ku put an arm over their shoulders.
"Sensei you injured. Must rest." Fei Ku said censured for Naruto's well being.
"Fei Ku is right sensei. You need to rest." Yue told Naruto. And everyone else agreed with her.
"Theses wounds... will take at least... 2 to 3 days... to heal up enough... to be good as new. We don't have that kind of time... we need to get... out of this place as soon as possible." Naruto explained. "Help me to get to the next step... so we can get out... of here." Naruto was coughing up a little blood. 'Now I know what that meant. Only the Jinchuuriki can succeed it's as plain as day. Because only a Jinchuuriki can live with injures as grave as this.' Naruto mused in his mind.
Kaede and Fei Ku were helping Naruto lump his way to the next stage. There waiting for them, a white spirit light Gaara before it.
'At last, your here. All of us have been waiting for you, for a very long time.'
"Who is 'we'? And who the hell are you?" Naruto was very annoyed by this time.
' I am the spirit of fire. And by 'we' I mean the other Jinchuuriki of this world's lost past. We, The Nine, have waited for 10,000 years for someone to come and calm the sacred items that we protect.'
"10,000 years? Why so long?" Makie ask very confused.
'We have waited for the one to take the sword of the Kitsukage.'
"The Kitsukage is a myth." Asuna was skepticalabout the whole Kitsukage thing.
'No child, he is real as any other living thing. It is because of him that you all have free well. As well as the rest of the world. It is sad to think he died for a world that no longer believes in him, and thinks of him as just a story to tell their children.'
"See Asuna, the story grandfather told us is true." Konoka told Asuna happily.
'It's good to see that not this entire new world forgot the sacrifice that the Kitsukage made so that others may live. But we must press on. Now you must answer my riddle if you wish to continue further.'
"Go on spirit of fire. Were ready."
'Here it is. Give me air and I live give me water and I die, what am I?'
"?"
"I don't know." Asuna had questions mark above her head.
"That's an easy one. I am fire." Naruto answered.
'Yes, fire. My element was fire, in the land of Lighting that was rare. But as powerful as fire is, I lost to the Red Dawn, and when my life was on the line. No one came for me... not even family. Now face the Ghost of Fire. And champion, face this fight as you're fullest. Another fight like the one you had with the Ichibi and you'll die now.' Flames engulfed the spirit of fire. And a giant 2 tailed cat like monster appeared.
"Am the 2 tailed Nibi. If you wish to press on you'll need to beat me first." The Nibi let out a roar that deafened the ears of all.
"Alright you two, you need to get the rest of the group out of here. I'll be fine." Naruto told Kaede and Fei Ku.
(Start Final Fantasy VII Advent Children JENOVA Theme Song)
"No way sensei. You hurt."
"Fei Ku is right. You need help."
"I need to put the cat out you need to help your classmates." Naruto got loose from their grip. "Now go!" Naruto walked up to the Nibi. "You know what happens to cat when it gets wet?" The Nibi just looked at Naruto. "The same thing that happens to everything else... it gets wet." Everyone sweat dropped. Even the Nibi sweat dropped at his lame joke. "RASENGAN!" Naruto used the shock to surprise attack the Nibi. The intensity of the attack made the Nibi stagger a bit. "Wind Style: Wind cutting blade!" The attack cut the Nibi right down the middle. Everyone cheered, but were soon silenced because the Nibi looked no worse for wear as it healed itself.
"You should know that fire consumes wind."
"That's not what I'm trying to do; you see wind dose something else to fire."
"Oh, and what's that?"
Naruto did his foxy smirk. "Wind redirects fire. Wind Style: Razor Wind dragon!"
The Nibi screamed in pain as her body was being ripped and blown away.
"Fire Style: Tsunami Blaze!" The Nibi tried to blow away the wind but all her fire did was make the wind attack stronger. The fire aspect of the attack did nothing to her, but the wind was. "Demonic Fire Style: Breath of the Fire Goddess!" The Nibi let out massive flames from its mouth. It broke the wind jutsu and was heading right for Naruto and the girls, who weren't far enough away yet. Figuring that dodging would put the girls in danger, he needed to deflect the attack.
"Wind Style: Wind Rotation!" Surrounding Naruto and the rest of the group was a dome of wind. With the wind redirecting the fire around them none of them would get burned. Naruto was using a good amount of chakra to hold the wind dome in place. He knew that the Nibi could do this all day, but he couldn't. He needed a plan. And then he got one. He had just thought of a Jutsu, it would combine His chakra with the magic he learned from chibi vampire. It would protect the girls, and Negi, as well as attack. But what should he call it? A light bulb went off in his head, he had the perfect name. Wind Style: Wind Tempest Spear!" Naruto started spinning around heading straight for the Nibi's mouth. The Nibi tried in vain to stop Naruto, with the rotations and speed that Naruto was going, he was unstoppable. And the Nibi realized this too late. Naruto pierced into the Nibi, from front to back. Naruto stopped his rotations and looked at where Nibi once stud, it was standing no more and collapsed. Naruto decided to go in for the kill. He brought out one of his Tri-kunai as he walked over to the head of the Nibi. The look in its eyes was that of a defeated goddess. Naruto, without mercy, plunged his weapon into the head, thus killing it. It vanished like it came, in flames.
(End Final Fantasy VII Advent Children JENOVA Theme Song)
The Spirit of fire returned. When it was over the rest of the group returned as well. All of them intently went to Naruto's side.
"Naruto-sensei are you hurt?"
"That's a dump question Yue, of course he's hurt!" Asuna yelled at the stupid question that Yue asked.
"I'll be fine, thanks for your concern." Naruto had some burns on his arms and legs, but was ok... by his standards.
"You have taken this fight seriously..." The spirit of fire spoke up."... But you're still worse for wear. There are still many more tests to go. But first, a glumes of the life of the Kitsukage." The spirit of fire snapped her fingers, and a spirit of a small boy with spiky hair appeared. "This is the Kitsukage, age 2. When he was 7-12." The spirit of fire showed Naruto being alone, of course, no one but Naruto knows its Naruto. No one playing with him, no one every caring if he lives or not. Everyone just ignoring him. It broke all of their hearts to see such a site.
"If Ayaka were here she'd have fits." Asuna commented. And everyone agreed.
"Maybe if people like you were living in his time, maybe he would have had a nicer childhood. But now you must press on. Thank you champion. I'm free." The spirit of fire vanished.
"How could someone do that to a child?" Konoka ask.
"I don't know, but they were nothing short of monsters by doing so." Kaede replied.
"Come on, we must press forward. To the next fight." Naruto said a little weakly.
The group pressed on. They moved from fighting platform to fighting platform. Meeting the spirits, in this order, of water, earth, lighting, light, and Darkness. Each fight was harder than the last, and after each fight, his injuries got worse and worse. His white cloak was as red with fresh blood. His jonin Shinobi pants dark red. The girls thought it was sheer luck that kept Naruto awake. He needed help just walking. Ku and Kaede help him there. Everyone was worried about him. Konoka being the most worried. Negi, Asuna and Yue were surprised that Naruto hadn't died yet. The amount of blood loss would have killed an elephant. They final reached the next platform. And like with the rest there was a white spirit there.
"I was afraid that the spirit of Hate was too much for you."
"And what are you the spirit of?" Naruto asked annoyed.
"Right to the point then? I am the The God of Lighting Spirit. I was not a Jinchuuriki, but I was responsible for making one."
"YOU MADE A JINCHUURIKI! THOSE KIDS WHO LIFES WERE LIVING HELL LIKE THE KITSUKAGE!" Asuna yelled at the spirit.
"How could you?" Konoka said, a bit quieter.
"If you wish to know first, you must solve my riddle."
"Were ready spirit. Give us what you got.
"I plague the mind. I plague the soul. I plague the heart. I am sharper than any sword. I can destroy you from the inside out. I will force you to seek redemption. Who am I?"
No one had a clue. Every Yue and Konoka looked utterly lost. The only person who even had the slightest clue of what he was talking about was Naruto. And even he had a lost look on his face.
'What does it mean?' Naruto wondered.
After an hour of waiting.
"I'm afraid that I must have an answer in the next ten minutes. Or I will treat the question as a wrong answer." The spirit said calmly.
"What! We have no idea of what you mean!" Asuna yelled.
"I'm sorry, but that is the rules. You never needed a time limit before because the questions were easy for you." The spirit stated.
'Hum, what is the answer? It's not that, or that. What is it?'
After another 10 minutes.
"Do you have answer?"
"Um, I don't." Makie said with her face blank.
"Me either." Fei Ku said with the same face.
"I'm lost." Asuna looked a little scared.
"I have no idea." Yue had a frown.
"No clue." Kaede had her lost face.
"Um nothing." Konoka was more worried about Naruto then the riddle. Because he had to fight, none of them did.
"I haven't a clue." Negi's eyes were spinning.
"I think I have it." Naruto said form the back.
"Then lest here it."
"I am regret." Naruto answered.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Yes. Regret was the only thing going on in my mind when I did the one thing no father should. When I sealed the Kyuubi, I made a Jinchuuriki, but unknown to all but a few, including the Jinchuuriki himself, the Jinchuuriki was my very own son. As the 4th Hokage I had a duty to protect my village. I regretted every moment of the sealing. Using my own son to save the village that scorned him for 12 out of 16 years of his life. Now it's time to fight. You will face me. The 4th Hokage.
Naruto told Negi to get the girls to a save distances for the area. The spirit now looked like a person. The girls looked at the spirit, and it looked like an order Naruto. Without the whiskers.
"Let's do this." Naruto got ready.
(Play IN Extra Theme - Extend Ash ~ Hourai Victim)
Naruto's eyes turned red. As the two charged at each other, tri-kunai's drawn. They instantly tried to kill each other with their weapons. Each time they would just hit the others. The battle was fast pasted. Kaede was barely able to see blurs of the fighters, everyone else could just see the large sparks of them hitting each other's tri-kunai. Each one of the fighters had a blank look in their eyes. Not one time did they flinch when the sparks got to close to their eyes, not once did the second guess themselves in the fight. And not once did any of their attacks get weak by the hit. They always got stronger.
'So this is a kage level battle. I'm surprised Inoue lasted longer than a second.' Kaede said to herself.
"What's a kage level battle Kaede?" Yue asked.
"?" 'Did I say that out loud?' "This is a Kage level battle. A battle of 2 Ninja of the highest caliber. They are unmatched in there field, they have no equals among the people that follow them." Kaede answered back. Naruto and the spirit still fighting. "But as far as I know, there hasn't been a Kage level Ninja in over 1000 years. And even he was 67 years old. The youngest kage in recorded history."
"Wow, sensei is so cool." Makie said not really grasping the full extent of what was just said.
"A-amazing. Is that true? Is he really a Kage level ninja? I've only read about Ninja's." Yue was surprised.
"Kazumi would kill for a picture of this." Asuna commented.
Back to the fight. Naruto and the 4th Hokage were still fighting it out. Neither side gaining ground on the other. In fact, nether had blinked during the fight at all.
"Come now, you can do better than this." The 4th Hokage said. "If you're holding back on the account of the girls knowing who you are, then you FAIL as a ninja. If you want me too, I can eliminate them as detraction."
POW
Naruto's fits met the 4th Hokage's face.
"Never... threaten... them... again."
"Then fight for real. As you are now, you have no hope of winning the fights to come. Or even have the right to teach." The spirit said looking at Kaede.
"Fine, I'll fight you with all I have. Wind Style: Razor Wind Hurricane!" The jutsu was hitting everything, the ruins were being destroyed, and the 4th Hokage was feeling the effects on the human flesh first hand. After a minute or so the jutsu stopped. Naruto made sure that the girls were inside the eye of the storm. And by that, they were protected. When the smoke cleared, the spirit was still standing, unharmed. Everyone was shocked, how could have the spirit, however fleshy it may be, still be standing after that.
"Now that was a serious jutsu. I'm glad you decided to fight for real. Now then, let's continue."
The spirit charged at Naruto again and Naruto met him half way. Naruto attacks were relentless right punch, left kick, left elbow, right knee. All of which were blocked by the 4th Hokage. No matter what he tried, none of his attacks got past the 4th Hokage's defense. Then it was the 4th Hokage's turn to attack Naruto. He did a reverse of what Naruto did to him only faster. Sooner than later the 4th Hokage actually hit Naruto, first in his head, then his stomach, then he was hit with an upper-cut. Naruto was flown back and landed on a ruined cathedral, shattering it to, well, ruins.
"It's time you all learned my name. I am Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage of the village hidden in the leaves. Father to Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze... the Kitsukage."
"..."
"..."
No one said a word. They were all to shock to comprehend what was just said. Naruto was facing his father. From 10,000 years ago!
"Bu-But how?" Yue's head was spinning.
"No one could have lived for that long." Kaede looked at where Naruto was.
"RASENGAN!"
Minato just move from Naruto sneak attack.
"You'll have to do better than that my son."
"You're much more serious than I remember."
"HE'S YOUR FATHER! REALLY!" Asuna yelled. "SHOULDN'T YOU HUG OR SOMETHING!"
"Wow, Naruto-sensei father is hot." Kaede pointed out.
Everyone had a dream bubble above them. Envisioning an older Naruto, in a wedding tux.
Naruto turned to Asuna. "We ninja don't hug when we see family. We train. It's a ninja thing. And by the way." Naruto was turning to his father. Only to see him gone.
"I'm so happy my son keeps such lovely company. Oh a ninja, what has my son taught you. Oh another lovely young lady." Turning to Konoka. "If you're thinking about marring my son you have my blessings." Minato turned to Makie. "Such lovely hair, you remind me of my wife Kushina, Naruto's mother. Although yours is a bit short." Minato turned to Asuna. "Wow, I sense that your spunk was the same as my wife Kushina. I can tell that you'll be a lovely young woman in a year or so. And I can tell you'll fill out ni..."
"KNOCK THAT THAT OFF!" Naruto kicked his dad in the face. And he went right into a solid wall. A few of them. Ok a lot of them.
"That hit was a lot harder than I remember."
"There's more where that came from." Naruto said annoyed.
"Then let us continue."
Minato charged at his son again. Only this time, the fight became more intense. Chakra surrounded their blades. Each attack was like two heavy gusts of wind hitting each other. Each one required the girls and Negi to brace themselves. The amount of power that Naruto and Minato were producing was off the charts. The power could not be measured by any means. The power destroyed the arena and blew back both combatants. When the smoke cleared both of them were up, unharmed, and floating.
"This is where it ends, father." Naruto stated.
'Oh, has he thought of something new? He should know that his standard attacks have no effect on me. What are you planning my son?'"Very well Naruto, this next clash shall be our last."
Naruto charged up his Rasengan. And so did Minato. The suspense was killing the killing the spectators, including the people reading at home. (You) The power just grew and grew and grew and, well you get the point.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Ok, now I'm just pissing you of, so, moving on. Both combatants without warning charged at each other. The amount of power that was about to collide could have been compared to 2 perfect storms crashing into each other dead center in America. Less than a few feet from each other, Naruto made his move.
"Rasengan!"
"Shadow clone jutsu!" A pawn springing to life the 2 clones went to work. Putting chakra into Naruto's Rasengan. One from top to bottom and one vice-versa. Turning Naruto's Rasengan into...
"Wind Style: Rasen-Shuriken!"
Minato realized his mistake too late. Minato thought that it would be Rasengan on Rasengan, but his son proved too clever for him. Naruto used Hiraishin to escape the blast as the 2 jutsu collided. Minato smirked.
'Not bad... my son...'
BOOM.
TFK: Sorry it took so long, but I needed perfect songs for the fights. There will be a few more. Please R and R. Later...
