This is a challenge from Storylover213. I don't own any of it. Focus will be back on Naruto instead of team 7.
Chapter 8: a new summons
It had been a few days since the fight with Orochimaru. Upon finding out that his old student was in he felt angry. Not at the snake sannin, but to himself. The old snake was one of his biggest regrets. His favoritism lead to the boy defecting and turning into a monster. After hearing what Naruto had seen he called for ANBU to get Jiraiya, the toad sannin, back in the village immediately. He also held the treat that if he didn't get to the village pronto he was going to ban his books and place anti peeping seals on the hot springs. In actuality he passed for the second one to happen anyway, so he wouldn't lose focus.
While Naruto was watching his temporary team Anko approached him.
"Hey Naruto," she asked, "Something's been bugging me. When you fought the snake in the forest you used hand signs. I wanted to know why. Your bloodline allows you to control the elements don't they?"
Naruto looked at his fellow jonin and said, "A bloodline can only do so much Anko. I learned a while that if I have my bloodline active and I use hand signs the jutsu focuses much faster than without them. Plus it causes the jutsu to triple in power. The side effect that it drains a bit more chakra and the technique is susceptible to bloodlines like the Sharingan.."
Anko looked shocked at the boy before her and smiled with his reason. She slapped the boy on the back.
While this was going on the genin had gone up to the banister and were waiting for the names to be called for the finalists.
While the names were being cycled through Naruto felt a tug at the back of his mind. He heard something calling to him.
Naruto looked out and raised his eyebrow making som eof his fellow jonin and a few of the genin look at him curiously.
"You okay Naruto?" Kurenai asked.
"I have to business to take care off," Naruto said, "Let me know how the fights go. I don't know when I'll be back."
Naruto then left the tower and went deep into the forest.
Naruto followed the feeling. As the strange feeling in the back of his neck grew stronger he found himself in the middle of the forest of death standing in front of a grand oak tree that stood 30 stories tall.
Naruto approached the tree and felt wisdom and power radiating off the tree. Naruto got closer and the roots that connected to the ground slowly opened revealing a tunnel beneath.
Naruto cautiously entered the passage and the roots closed behind him. Naruto walked through the passage and found himself in the middle of a large marble chamber. Naruto immediately caught sight of a large scroll in the middle of the room on a pedestal.
Naruto reached out and touched the scroll. Naruto cried out in pain as chakra shot from the scroll and ran over his entire body. Naruto stumbled backwards and fainted. Smoke then filled the room and when it cleared the blonde was gone and so was the scroll.
A few minutes later in the summon realm…
Naruto woke with a start. He looked around and saw he was on what looked like a huge mountain. The blonde was int eh middle of thinking where the heck he was when he heard what sounded like a low snarl.
Naruto found himself surrounded by four awesome and terrifying creatures.
One was a large white tiger with shining fur, large green eyes, and razor sharp claws and fangs.
A large dark blue and green tortoise who had a scratched and cracked shell obviously from many battles.
A large and very beautiful phoenix with dark red flames covering its entire body. Despite having its wingds folded Naruto could tell that the bird was huge.
Finally there was a large dark red western dragon with dark blue scales and yellow membranes on its wings.
"It has been a long time since we have seen a human here," the dragon said.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked as respectfully as he could not wanting to anger the large creatures.
"I am Haru (spring) Guardian of the East," the dragon said.
I am Kyuuka (Summer) Guardian of the South," the Phoenix said.
"I am Aki (Autumn) Guardian of the West," the Tiger said.
"I am Fuyu (Winter) guardian of the North," the tortoise said.
Naruto's eyes widened as he heard the titles.
"The four legendary summons," Naruto said, "I thought you were just a legend. Something to lull children to sleep with at night."
Kyuuku chuckled and said, "As you can tell we aren't legends. We've been watching you Naruto. Watching you grow strong."
Fuyu said, "We have seen the future. Without you the world will surely fall into the madness. Under the iron fisted rule of a demented man with powerful eyes."
Naruto looked up at them and said, "What do you want me to do about it?"
Haru answered, "We know of a prophecy. It says that boy with three marks emblazoned on his face shall wield the power to either save the world or destroy it. You are that boy."
Naruto's eyes widened and said, "Me?"
Aki said, "Yes. You see we want to help you. If this madman takes over the world then the summon world will be placed in jeopardy. We, as the guardians of earth, will not allow this travesty to happen. We have decided to let your summon our kind. To help you become as strong as possible when the time comes."
Naruto bowed before the four guardians and said, "I am very honored."
"Now present yoru weapons," Fuyu said.
Naruto unsealed his weapons. Slowly they all floated upwards. The sword to Aki, the tonfa to Fuyu, the Kusigari-Gama to Kyuuka, and the staff to Haru. The four guardians unleashed their chakra and infused the energy with the weapons and slowly the weapons changed.
Naruto's sword turned white and snow with a few ice spikes coming off the hilt and black tiger stripes running up the blade. The kanji for Ice Tiger appeared on the blade.
The two tonfa turned dark blue with black spike balls on the end. In deep green a pattern that resembled a tortoise's shell was etched into the ball. The kanji for Shell Crashers appeared on the shaft of both of them.
The Kusigari-Gama turned dark red with a black chain and flame pattern that actually seemed to move on the scythe blade. The weight on the other end now had holes in the spikes, most likely for producing flames. The kanji for Crashing Fire appeared on the end of the weight.
Finally the grew thicker and longer until it was as tall as Naruto was. Large bronze weights appeared on top with large spikes on them. The massive staff now had the kanji for Crushing Dragon on it.
As the new weapons floated down to Naruto he felt the power radiating off them. Naruto quickly bowed to the great beings and said, "Thank you."
Kyuuka said, "You are quite welcome my boy. Now go."
Naruto burst into smoke and went back to his world.
In the human world…
Naruto looked up and as soon as the smoke cleared and saw that the moon was rising meaning he had actually been gone for a few hours.
The boy quickly made his way to Konoha where he found himself at a regular jonin hangout the Sharpened Kunai.
Naruto stepped in and almost as soon as he was he was embraced by Anko.
"Hey Naruto where have you been?" the snake mistress said, "You were gone for hours! We actually thought you had been kidnapped!"
Naruto sighed and said, "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you."
The other jonin approached him and Kurenai said, "Try us we're gullible."
One story and weapon showing later…
The jonin all had their jaws on the floor as they finished hearing Naruto's tale. They all thought that Naruto had a relapse in the forest and had merely dreamed the whole thing until he took out his enhanced weapons. Any doubts on the story were then wiped out because not even the best forger in Konoha, much to his ire, was not that skilled.
"So enough about that," Naruto said, "What happened in the preliminary matches?"
Naruto was surprised at what he heard. Sasuke had to fight one of Kabuto's teammate who revealed an ability to drain chakra from physical contact. Luckily Sasuke was able to keep the boy at bay with a regular flux of fire chakra sending a heat wave that made him too hot to touch. Sasuke eventually beat his opponent using his newly formed naginata to stab through his chakra draining arm and broke it.
Sakura was pitted against Ino. The Yamanaka heiress started spitting out crud about how true love would prevail and allow her to beat Sakura and prove herself to Sasuke. Sakura proceeded to shut the blonde up by socking her in the face. A one sided fight then proceeded with Sakura beating the tar out of Ino. Ino eventually tired her mind transfer jutsu, but the girl wound up getting kicked by Inner Sakura. The pink haired Kunoichi then unleashed her nunchuka and started to beat down on Ino for the invasion of her mind. Ino was now unconscious and Sakura stood the victor.
Ami had to face against Kiba Inuzuka. The fight was pretty one sided in Kiba's favor since Taijutsu was still not one of Ami's strongest areas. She eventually lured the dog user into a trap using a land mine stink bomb combination. When Kiba stepped on it he was hit with a horrible stink that made him, and his dog Akamaru, dizzy. One lightning jutsu later Kiba was unconscious.
The other matches weren't that interesting. One match that had heads turning was the fight between Neji and Hinata Hyuuga. Neji almost killed Hinata if not for the jonin's intervention. Naruto made a mental note to hurt he boy badly or at least tell his temporary team to do it.
Another match was between Rock Lee and Gaara. Gaara showed complete insanity and bloodlust and he actually crippled Lee by using his sand to crush his arm and leg.
Naruto growled and said, "Looks like we got some tough suckers this time around. I'll really need to help my students."
Anko said, "Sorry Naruto, but Kakashi already took his team back. From what I can guess he'll be teaching the Uchiha himself."
Naruto snapped his fingers in annoyance and said. "Dang it. Well I'll see if I can find the other two and help them should they need it. Who are they fighting anyway?"
Asuma pulled out a slip of paper and handed the list to the young jonin.
Ami vs. Neji
Sasuke vs. Gaara
Sakura vs. Temari
Kankuro vs. Shino
Shikimaru vs. Dosu
Naruto looked around at the list and said, "I'll have to do some thinking on the training I'll have to do."
With that Naruto left to go home to thin about how to train his students should they actually go to him for help.
"Hey Naruto!"
Naruto turned around to see Tsume walking up to him without her ninken with her.
"Hey Tsume," Naruto said, "What are you doing here?"
Tsume said, "I've been meaning to talk to you, but I've been busy. Listen I wanted to thank you for saving my daughter properly. I was wondering if you could come over tomorrow night for dinner?"
Naruto developed a smirk said, "Tsume-chan are you asking me out?"
The feral woman shifted slightly and said, "Maybe…"
Naruto shrugged after a second and said, "Sure. Meet you tomorrow at the Inuzuka complex around 5?"
The woman nodded. Naruto then walked away leaving the feral woman to her thoughts.
As Tsume a mini Tsume in her head started doing a happy dance and waving large banner back and forth while squealing, "We got a date! We got a date! Woohoo! I still got it!"
Cut! Okay Naruto now has a powerful summons and upgraded weapons. Next chapter will be a time skip for the month, the start of Naruto and Tsume's relationship, and all that other junk. Ami and Sakura will still be going to Naruto for advice because, lets face it, he taught them more than Kakashi ever did. Sorry for the short chapter okay bye.
