This is a challenge from Storylover213. I don't own any of it. Focus will be back on Naruto instead of team 7.
Chapter 13: changes over the years and mission
Naruto stood in the middle of his training grounds. He stood in a stance in a crouch with one foot forward with one hand on his sheath and his other hand on the sword handle.
Naruto stood in front of a wooden statue. The blonde then whipped out his sword in a blurring motion before he put his sword back in the sheath. There was a silence for a second. Then the statue split vertically and horizontally. The blonde took out an object and looked at the number on it.
"Darn it," Naruto said, "It is still half a second too slow."
Naruto sighed in frustration. He shrugged I off and said, "Well since I'm alone I might as well get a practice with my special weapons."
Naruto sent out a brief chakra pulse to see if there was anyone watching. When he found that no one was around Naruto grinned before he unsheathed it he said, "Freeze, Shimotora (Frost Tiger)."
Naruto's katan shifted forms. Ice formed around the blade and handle. The ice shattered like glass revealing Japanese long sword. it was pure white with a silver edge. On the blade was the image for a tiger's paw print. A white cloth was wrapped around the hilt and there was an icicle coming off the bottom of the handle.
Naruto twirled the blade and stabbed it into the ground. He swung it with ease sending a wave of rosted wind. Ice quickly ormed on the ground where the attack flew while a tree was frozen solid by the attack itself. Naruto then flicked the blade and al the ice in front of him shattered along with the target itself.
Naruto changed his sword back to normal. He then held it out again and said, "Scorch, Fenikkusuyofun (phoenix rage)."
The sword was transformed in a burst of flames to a slightly longer blade than normal katana. It was a red blade with a tsuba that was in the shape of a ember. The handle was black and there was a chain that extended off it for about a foot. Naruto swung the sword up and sent an arc of flames forward that burned a nearby dummy to a crisp. The chain on the bottom actually extended when he swung it and it wrapped around a rock before constricting destroying it like glass.
Naruto then held his sword out and said, "Crash, Umimoui (sea fury)!"
There was a splash of water and it showed not a sword, but a trident. It was blue with the tree ends of it jagged. The staff was blue with a small jade spear head on the bottom. The triple point front end was jagged and was also made of jade. The blonde pointed his weapon before stabbing it forward. Water actually condensed and shot forward in a huge plume. The water grouped together forming a ball and collapsed in on itself crushing the dummy under a lot of pressure.
Naruto then held it out and growled, "Roar, Ryutou (dragon saber)."
The weapon erupted white flames before turning into a large zanbato. The blade of the weapon was large and looked like it was made of scales. Right above where the cleaver-like blade met the handle there was a large oval shape that silver on the outside and black in the middle. There was also a hand guard that resembled a dragon wing.
Naruto charged with incredible speed for someone carrying a weapon that was so heavy. The blonde's sword easily sliced through a pair of trees. The black oval opened up to reveal a yellow dragon eyes. The entire blade burst into dragon fire and he swung it hard sending a wave of the powerful flames spiraling forward. The flames decimated a few trees. Naruto grinned before twirling his sword and changed it back to normal before sheathing it.
Naruto looked at the sun and said, "Lunch time. I might actually run into some of the old gang."
Later…
Naruto arrived at the Akamichi barbecue restaurant. He was immediately called at. The blonde turned to see the rookies from the old class sitting there.
Naruto walked over and noticed that they all had changed somehow.
Ino had filled out a bit and wore an outfit that accentuated that.
Chouji had turned into an actual big boned kid and was wearing red and green samurai-like armor. He also let his hair grow out.
Shino had just grown a bit and wore more gray and mysterious outfits than usual.
Kiba had grown a tad and he wore a darker version of his old outfit. Akamaru had grown from his smaller size to a large dog big enough for Kiba to ride on his back.
Shikimaru hadn't really changed at all. The only major difference was the chuunin flak jacket. Naruto guessed that he thought it was too troublesome to find a new outfit.
Ten-Ten had changed her looked to a white long sleeve lose shirt and long black pants. Naruto also noticed that she had a large scroll under her seat.
Neji had let his hair grow longer and his outfit mimicked more of the main branch member's outfit being a white loose and very comfortable from what Naruto could guess.
Lee had ditched his old attire, but it was still green though he had a white cloak over it.
Sakura had changed into a red shirt that had the image of a fist covered in stone on her back. Her hair was cut shorter and her headband was in her pink hair she also had a pair of pants that fit like ANBU pants and some boots. She had on a pair of gloves and her nunchaku was on her waist.
Ami had a black shirt that had a lightning bolt in yellow on her back. She also had a pair of ANBU style pants and a pair of blue sandals. She also had a pair of gloves one of which had a few metal pieces no doubt used for pulling her bow. Said weapon was on her back.
"Hey guys!" Naruto said with a grin.
"Naruto-sensei, you're back!" Sakura said with a smile.
Naruto nodded and sat down before he said, "I have to say you all have grown a lot since I left especially Akamaru. What is the Inuzuka clan feeding you? So what have I missed over the past three years?"
The group then told the young jonin of what had happened over the past three years.
Most of the rookies had been promoted to chuunin or joninrank. Right now Neji and Shikimaru were jonin while the rest were chuunin. Neji had his own team that consisted of Konohamarua Sarutobi, Udon, and Moegi who had called themselves the Konohamaru ninja corps. Despite the ridiculous title they were pretty touch when on C-rank missions thanks to Naruto's early training. They were even calling Konohamaru the second God of Shinobi much to his grandfather's delight.
The rookies training had gotten bumped up as well by their teachers so they could live up to expectations from their students after all of team 7's bragging of how good Naruto was of a teacher. Hana was made clan head while her mother was out of the village. Kiba had been training himself like crazy. The other clan children had gotne specia tainig from their parents along with the training from their team leaders.
When Naruto asked about Sasuke he received a sour note.
Sasuke had tried to make a move on some of the clan daughters, mostly Hana, Ino, Sakura, Ami and Ten-Ten. He kept proposing marriage with his reason being that they were strong and that they would breed strong Uchiha children. The idea was rejected immediately and resulted in comical chases across the village. Apparently after that he went to the jonin sensei demanding training. When they refused he went so far as the nearly assault Kurenai. This resulted in a vicious beating.
While the boy was recuperating he decided that Konoha didn't have anything to offer him in terms of power and ran off. In the process he injured and nearly killed a nurse. When they sent a few ninja after him they found that the ninja they sent were actually some stubborn Kyuubi (Naruto) haters and Uchiha butt kissers. The Uchiha got away and hasn't' been seen since.
Naruto snarled. He was really annoyed with this village at times.
"So Naruto," Kiba said, "I heard that you came in you brought a two hot babes."
Naruto said, "Yeah and they're with me along with your mom. Also I would approach them. One is aligned with cats so she wouldn't like you very much especially with how bad you stink. They both hate perverts with a passion. When they caught him peeping on them when we visited the land of hot spring he was put in the hospital for months.
The rest of the time there everyone spent time catching up Naruto told them about the people he met and his sword. he didn't tell them about its shape shifting power. When he told them about that and about Hinata getting the sword of Raiga they were all surprised how far Hinata had come. When Neji told them about the major beating that the Hyuuga council got they were really surprised and happy that Hinata finally knocked the old jerks around since they tortured her for so long.
They also asked Naruto for some extra training. Naruto din't want to accept at first, but he was convinced after a heavy dose of puppy dog eyes from the girls.
Naruto arrived at his clan compound to see Fu and Yugito waiting for him.
"Hey Naruto," Fu said, "Where have you been?"
Naruto said, "Well I got o see Hinata kick the entire Hyuuga council's hide. Then I ran into the old rookies from the village and we caught up on some stuffy. By the way I brought ramen and sushi home with me."
Naruto took out the two objects when he mentioned them. They were promptly swiped from him and inhaled by the two girls. Naruto wondered how the girls could eat like that and still manage to look so hot.
They were interrupted when an ANBU appeared in a puff of smoke.
"Namikaze-sama," the man said, "The Hokage has called for you."
Naruto nodded and vanished in a burst of flames.
Naruto reappeared in the Hokage's office in the same fashion that nearly made the woman jump out of her skin.
"You rang?" Naruto asked.
"Yes," the woman said, "we just received a message from Suna. Apparently a duo of S-rank ninja wearing black cloaks with red clouds on them kidnapped the current Kazekage Gaara."
Naruto's eyes widened when he heard that.
"Gaara is the Kazekage?" Naruto asked, "Why doesn't anyone ever tell me these things?"
Tsunade shrugged her shoulders and said, "There is more. As you probably already know Sasuke Uchiha was allowed to leave the village thanks to the ignorance of some of the more butt kissy types in the village. He has also been sighted along the border of Suna with a three unknown characters. If Sasuke Uchiha becomes a threat you are allowed to fight him. If possible bring him back alive so I can beat some manners into that ignorant little prick. You will be joined by Jiraiay and one of my ANBU. You will depart in a half hour. "
Naruto looked at her and said, "I accept the mission. As for the beating some manners into him…he tried to get you to have his babies didn't he?"
Tsunade's nod was the only answer Naruto needed.
With that the blonde set out on his mission.
Cut! Sorry I know this was short, but it was mostly a filler chapter. It was a set up for future chapters and to show how things have changed. The only reason Sasuke is still getting his butt kissed is because the whole Uchiha treason thing hasn't been revealed yet. Okay sorry for the short chapter see you all next time.
