KG: Hey people. Just a simple greeting for all of you. Not really much to talk about. So I won't waste our time.
Morning
Naruto groaned as he opened his eyes. The sun beamed through the curtains of his bed as he stretched. He'd never slept in such a comfortable bed before. It was great sleep. Noticing it was morning, Naruto hopped to his feet and quickly got dressed. He smiled slightly at the thought of what he might be able to accomplish today.
"Alright Kyuubi-chan, time to get you out of there," Naruto said more to himself than to her, but Kyuubi smiled nonetheless at her container.
Naruto quickly walked down the halls into the dining room and noticed his three teammates already eating.
"Morning everyone," Naruto said making his presence known to the three shinobi.
"Morning Naruto. We were beginning to wonder if you would sleep for the rest of eternity," Omoi told him and Naruto slightly chuckled as he sat next to Samui. The four chunin ate their breakfast in relative silence before their client appeared. They noticed the beaming smile on his face, but they attributed that to his being happy about the success of their mission.
"Good morning everyone. I trust that my mansion was to your liking?" the noble asked making Team Samui nodded that it was just perfect. The noble man sat in his seat while his wife and daughter. Neither of the two seemed to question the four chunin on their presence as they figured it had something to do with something political. Neither of them were aware of the events that had happened last night and the noble was more than happy for that.
"Here is your reward for all your hard work," The noble said handing the four of them each a special box. Naruto opened his and widened his eyes. He had a jewel-crested dagger. He looked over the shiny metal along with some of the fancy jewels that ran over it. He knew Yugito might like something like it.
Samui opened hers and she saw that she had received a jewel-crested flute. Samui was never one for music and the like, but she had to admit that it looked nice to her eyes. She decided to place it away while Karui and Omoi opened their boxes.
Karui had received a small ring and she placed it over her hand. The noble explained that it was supposed to be a ring wore my a kenjutsu legend, perhaps one of the Seven Swordsmen of Kiri. Hearing this Karui grew ecstatic over the gift she got.
Omoi a reverse dagger that was handcrafted by a famous blacksmith. The white haired chunin thanked the noble for the gift and placed it away. Everyone seemed pleased with their gift and bowed in thanks to the man before they got to their feet.
"You also said we could use your basement right?" Naruto asked and the noble nodded. He told his wife and daughter that he'd be right back and escorted the four towards his basement and the sight made them gasp slightly. Even the basement was magnificent. As expected of a noble they figured.
"Please use this space at your leisure. I'll be upstairs if you need anything else," The man said making Naruto and the others nod before the noble left them alone. Sensing the seclusion that they wanted everyone turned to see Naruto take out a scroll and some paper.
"So mind telling us what you're going to do?" Omoi asked rubbing the back of his head as Naruto unsealed some high quality ink. The blonde chuckled as he turned to them.
"You're all going to think I'm insane for this," Naruto said before they all rolled their eyes.
"Like we didn't think that before Otouto. Now what are you doing?" Karui asked tapping her foot impatiently and the blonde gulped. It was never a good thing when Karui started to tap her foot.
"Well to put it simply, I'm going to release Kyuubi from this seal," Naruto said making Omoi widen his eyes while Karui dropped her jaw. Samui was probably the most non-responsive as she settled for simply staring at her brother.
"Naruto, cool your head and think this over for a minute," Samui told him and Naruto stopped. He turned to her and Samui sighed.
"Do you really think this is such a cool idea? Kyuubi is the one who-," Samui wanted to finish, but Naruto stopped her. Karui and Omoi wondered why he did so and the blonde grinned.
"It's alright Samui-oneechan. I don't blame Kyuubi-chan. Trust me that she won't be a problem. I trust her a lot. It's not her fault," Naruto told them. Samui, Karui and Omoi glanced at each other before turning to their brother.
"Why do you want her out so badly? If I didn't know any better I'd say you liked her," Omoi said and Naruto nodded stunning the three of his teammates.
"But you're dating Yugito-sensei. How could you like Kyuubi also? You're not a two-timer Naruto so what's up?" Karui asked and Naruto chuckled. He told them a bit about his trip to the moving island and how Yugito could tell Kyuubi liked him and agreed to 'share' him if they wanted and so he guessed that Kyuubi agreed to it also.
Everyone widened their eyes at his words. For as long as they knew her, Yugito was never one to share almost anything and now she was sharing her boyfriend? The world must really be a big place to meet such people.
"Never saw that coming," Karui spoke making Omoi nodded. The all stayed silent for a minute before Samui walked forward and placed her hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"So little brother, where do you need us?" Samui asked with a rarely shown smile. Naruto's grin widened while Karui and Omoi smiled also. In truth they were all rather curious as to Naruto's plan, but trusted him to do what he liked and if he wanted.
"Thank you guys," Naruto said while Omoi waved him off.
"Please if we let you do what you wanted then our client might kill us for destroying his mansion," Omoi said while Naruto glared at him.
"I'm not that terrible," Naruto said and Omoi just nodded tauntingly as Naruto. The blonde handed the three of them each a piece of paper which had a large hexagon shaped seal over it.
"Please place those in the four corners of the room. Then when you're done I'd like you three to come back to me," Naruto instructed the his teammates walked off. They placed the seal right where Naruto wanted them and slowly watched as Naruto took off his jacket and placed it on the floor exposing his chiseled chest.
"Alright then, now to begin," Naruto said as he closed his eyes and channeled chakra through his body exposing his bijuu containment seal to the three chunin. Naruto opened his eyes and handed Samui an ink brush.
"Samui-neechan, I need you to write the kanji for 'Release' on my back. Karui-neechan, Omoi, I need you both to write the same kanji on the sides of my both. I'd do it, but I need to keep my chakra focused or this won't work," Naruto told them making the three nod. Samui carefully wrote the kanji for release that Naruto wanted while Karui and Omoi did the same. Naruto slightly snickered at the feeling of the brushes on his body, but kept focused. Once Samui, Karui and Omoi were done they waited for more of Naruto's instructions.
"Alright then, now go back to the seals. We're about to do a containment fuinjutsu while I release Kyuubi-chan, the only problem is that it will take some time, but I really need you guys to hold it as long as you can," Naruto told them and everyone nodded.
"You got it Otouto. Any handsigns we need to use?" Karui asked and Naruto shook his head at her question.
"No, when I give the signal just slam the seals and force your chakra into them. They will do the rest so you just have to help maintain it," Naruto explained and everyone followed it easily. They all went to their spots and awaited Naruto's signal while the blonde closed his eyes again.
Kyuubi seemed so excited in her mindscape as she paced the floor of her house. She quickly walked around in circles as Naruto appeared next to her all smiles for a little while.
"Glad to see me?" Naruto asked and Kyuubi quickly kissed him making the blonde widen his eyes. She then released his while Naruto blushed from her actions.
"Take that as a yes. Now then is there anything I can do?" Kyuubi asked and Naruto nodded. She waited for his instructions before Naruto guided her outside. The two walked for a bit until Naruto stopped her in front of a waterfall.
"This is your place of meditation right Kyuubi-chan?" Naruto asked and the vixen nodded getting even more excited with her blonde.
"That's right. I use it every once in a while. Why? What should I be doing?" Kyuubi asked and Naruto's grin only got bigger as he positioned her right underneath the waterfall letting the cool liquid flow down her form.
"Kyuubi-chan I need you to concentrate your chakra under this waterfall. You'll need to direct only a small portion of it towards the seals written over my body. Think you can do that for me?" Naruto asked and Kyuubi sat in her lotus position with her eyes close.
"In my sleep Naruto-kun. Now get going. It'll be fun to be out," Kyuubi said and Naruto immediately left. He opened his eyes and saw Samui, Karui, and Omoi in their respective positions.
"Alright guys. Are you all ready for this?" Naruto asked making his teammates nod. Naruto sighed as he quickly went through his handsigns and concentrated his chakra into his seals making them glow white over his body. Naruto slightly winced at some small pain, but tried his best to ignore it.
"Now!" Naruto yelled as Samui, Omoi and Karui slammed the seals in their corners. They forced their chakra into their seals. The seals glowed white also and soon the entire room was glowing in an eye blinding light.
"Kyuubi-chan it's your turn," Naruto said and Kyuubi nodded. She easily coursed her chakra through Naruto's body and allowed the red chakra to course into the seals on his body like the blonde wanted.
"Is everyone alright?" Naruto asked while Karui still had her eyes closed.
"It's rather chakra taxing, but we're all fine," Karui yelled and before long the light faded allowing everyone to open their eyes. They watched as small amounts of chakra shot from the seals in a straight line and connected to Naruto's body. Neither Samui, Omoi, or Karui moved and watched Naruto finish his handsigns.
"Hoi, Toru, Ketsu, Hyatsu, Jyozo, Kai!" Naruto yelled making the seals contained with chakra flow into the seal on his stomach. The blonde winced again as he felt some pain in his body, but that was fine for the moment. A white light of chakra traced the outlines of his bijuu containment seals and it slowly unraveled. Naruto placed a hand over it and yelled.
"Release," The blonde quickly said and a poof of some smoke covered the entire room in a small explosion. Naruto, Samui, Karui and Omoi coughed for a bit before the smoke dissipated. Everyone slowly opened their eyes and saw a redheaded woman in a black kimono. Her hair went down to her back and while Kimono hugged her gorgeous form showing off her amazing curves. The woman coughed for a second also before taking a glance at her surroundings.
"I'm out. It worked! I'm out!" Kyuubi yelled while Samui, Omoi and Karui gawked at the woman. Naruto chuckled as Kyuubi walked over to him and then bent down. She quickly hugged him while Naruto hugged her back. Everyone noticed the sweat on his face before Kyuubi took a small cloth and wiped it off.
"Glad to see you out here Kyuubi-chan," Naruto said and Kyuubi grinned with a nog. She quickly kissed Naruto again while she wrapped her arms around his chiseled form. Naruto accepted the kiss also, but then the two were interrupted by a small cough.
"Ahem," Karui said and the two turned to see Naruto's teammates looking at them.
"Sheesh we're glad you're out, but save that for when you're alone," Omoi said making Naruto and Kyuubi blush before the two got to their feet.
"So you're Kyuubi. Not as menacing as people said you are," Samui said and Kyuubi shrugged her shoulders.
"Yeah well I try not to be intimidating if I want. Thank you Naruto-kun. I love you," Kyuubi said kissing him again making Naruto blush while his other teammates sweatdrop.
"I think they forgot that we're here," they all thought before Samui coughed again bringing everyone out of their stupor.
"Yeah well that's nice ad cool, but for now we need get going. We have another mission to take care of for the day so we need to get going. Kyuubi-san do you have any belongings?" Samui asked and the bijuu shook her head. She'd just gotten out of the seal. She'd be lucky if she had anything from the seal, but that was alright at the moment.
"No I don't. I really need to get some stuff though. So where are you four going next?" Kyuubi asked and Samui opened the scroll. She crossed out their third mission that they completed and looked down the list.
"Hmm it says we've been requested to help the rebel forces in Kiri. They are trying to...get rid of the Yondaime Mizukage, Yagura," Samui said making the others widen their eyes.
"What the hell? That's not a job for chunin. That's a job for jonin. That must be an A-rank mission for crying out loud. Can't we refuse it?" Karui asked and Samui shook her head.
"Had this been back in our village we'd have the option of refusing, but we were personally requested to take this so we can't deny it. We can only deny a mission if we're given an A-rank to S-rank mission. Given the mission it's a B-rank. It's not cool, but we have to do it," Samui responded while Karui gasped.
"B-rank? Their asking us to help them topple a Kage! I think that deserves a S-rank if not an A-rank. We've never faced a Kage before. The closest thing to that was Bee-sensei. Someone tell me how the hell we're supposed to help them with that!" Karui yelled, but Naruto and Omoi calmed her down.
"Did you say Yagura?" Kyuubi asked and Samui nodded bringing everyone's attention to her which made Kyuubi slightly curse underneath her breath making everyone tense.
"What's the matter Kyuubi-chan?" Naruto asked her and Kyuubi sighed. She brushed a hand through her hair before turning to everyone.
"I know of him. He's also a jinchuuriki like Naruto, Yugito, and Bee. I only know I was in Kiri a little while before my capture and I could feel his chakra. It was exactly like mine," Kyuubi said making the four widened their eyes before Karui exploded.
"A jinchuuriki? Oh that's just fuckin' great now. A Kage who's a jinchuuriki. So what now Samui? This is an A-rank no matter what anyone says," Karui told her and Omoi had to agree with his teammate.
"Samui I think Karui's right. We're in way over our heads. The only one who might be able to match Yagura is probably Naruto. You have to admit that if he had the experience then he would be a jonin with his abilities. He excels at Raiton and Katon techniques and he's the only real fuinjutsu user in our village. He was trained by Jiraiya-sama after all. We can only hope that they have someone who can match Kiri's Kage," Omoi said and Samui nodded
"Alright, but we won't make it to Kiri for another four days or so. Where should we rest as according to the map?" Samui asked opening it and everyone looked down. Kyuubi looked at it also and smiled as she took Naruto's ink pen and made a small X on the spot. It seemed to be between Konoha and a small place called Wave country.
"In two days I want you all to go here. It's a small den I had. It should still be alright and you'll all find some things there," Kyuubi said and everyone nodded.
"So are we taking this mission?" Omoi asked and Samui furled up the scroll.
"It's not like we have much of a choice. We will come up with our own strategies during our travels to Kiri now let's move," Samui said as they all walked up the stairs. They gave the noble and his family a goodbye and the five immediately dashed off for their next destination.
In Konoha
Jiraiya sighed as he sat behind the Hokage's desk. He was currently signing papers before he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," The toad sage said and immediately Anko and her team arrived. Sasuke took a look at the man, but didn't see what was so special about him even though he figured he'd better not upset the man since he was the Hokage.
"You summoned us Jiraiya-sama?" Anko asked with a bow while Sasuke, Sakura and Sai followed her example and bowed. Jiraiya secretly grinned when he saw them bow to him. It was like a small satisfaction to see it happen, but that could wait for later. Right now he had to go into Hokage mode.
"That's right Anko. I've received a B-rank mission from Kiri's rebel forces. They wish for us to help them in the overthrow of their Kage," Jiraiya said and Anko widened her eyes while Sasuke silently smirked. Now they were talkin' missions.
"Umm Hokage-sama why are we bringing this up now? If we help them how will they be good financially?' Anko asked and Jiraiya looked over some reports that he been given to him.
"I've managed my spy network in Kiri for a long time. I know what goes on over there. Right now Kakashi's packing to do what he wants. He's going to go to all the locations that I mapped out and that where most of my spy network is. He'll be managing it until he gets used to it. Now as for the why, I know Kiri and they have a Kage-level woman there also. It won't be hard and I doubt you'll be on the front lines of the fight. I think she'll give you something more to your level.
"Hokage-sama, you call her a she, but who is it?" Sakura asked and Jiraiya chuckled.
"She is the only woman to be just as fierce as Tsunade. Her name is Mei Terumi. Don't let her looks fool you as she is probably one of the most dangerous people you will ever meet," Jiraiya said and Sakura gulped.
"So when do we leave Hokage-sama?" Anko asked and Jiraiya looked back at the mission report.
"Leave in two days. That'll give you enough time to pack and plan some strategies for the trip. You are dismissed," Jiraiya told them and everyone nodded and began to leave.
"Ah Anko, you stay behind for a second," Jiraiya told her and the purple haired anbu nodded as she told her team to wait for her at the training ground.
"Yes Hokage-sama?" Anko asked and Jiraiya placed his hands on the table looking serious.
"So any news?" Jiraiya asked and Anko reluctantly nodded. Jiraiya slightly cursed as he rubbed his temples.
"When?" he asked her and Anko placed a hand on her hip. She scowled slightly and Jiraiya noticed it. All the anbu in the room could feel the room tense while their Hokage and the Snake Mistress talked.
"Yesterday Hokage-sama. I don't know how, but Orochimaru is after Sasuke and he sent four shinobi from Oto to try and get him to join them. He promised the Uchiha power and being the avenger type that he is I know he might go for it. I was able to watch the interaction for only a little while or they would've noticed me. They said it was Sasuke's choice and are waiting for him to reply. If you didn't give us this mission then I think he would've left today maybe tonight. I'm not sure. How did you know Orochimaru was after Sasuke?" Anko asked and Jiraiya rolled his eyes.
"That guy has always been interested power, plus it helped that Kakashi told me about his team meeting Orochimaru in the Forest of Death. So did you tell Sasuke anything?" Jiraiya asked and Anko nodded.
"Yeah I pulled him to the side and told him that I heard his conversation with them. He was at first pissed off with me and told me that it was none of my business. He really is a cheeky Gaki, but anyway. I told him that an Uchiha wouldn't be so weak as to need help from a low-class snake like Orochimaru to which I think that settled him and his pride. He did happen to agree with me so I was glad for that I guess," Anko said and Jiraiya sighed in relief.
"Play on the Uchiha's pride? That's just like you, but anyway good work Anko. Now about your mission. I didn't want to say this to your group, but there is another team going there. I received the report that Naruto's team is heading there also. I want you to back them up in their mission. Just for safety reasons," Jiraiya said and Anko nodded. She bowed then left the room while Jiraiya bit his thumb. He quickly went through some handsigns.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu," Jiraiya yelled as he slammed the table making a small poof.
"Yo old man. How ya been?" a toad asked and Jiraiya grinned as he handed him a scroll.
"I've been good Gamakichi. I need you to deliver this to Naruto for me. You remember him right?" Jiraiya asked and the toad took the scroll in his hands.
"The guy with the yellow hair, older redheaded sister, and who was training for the chunin exams with you? Yeah I remember him. We only met during his training period, but I remember him. So I need to give this to him? Well I don't know where he is at the moment," Gamakichi told the toad sage and Jiraiya sighed. He then took out a map and looked it over. He had no idea where Naruto was either, but no matter what happened the blonde had to pass through Wave country.
"Alright I want you to go with Anko's team to Wave Country and wait for them there. With any luck you might run into them. That's all," Jiraiya said as Gamakichi hopped away while the Godaime Hokage went back to his signing papers.
With Team Samui, two days later
Samui and the rest of her team were right where the X on the map told them to be, yet they didn't see anything around. Everyone sighed while Kyuubi walked in front of them.
"Don't worry it's around here somewhere. It's just been a while since I've been here. Give me a minute," Kyuubi told them and everyone nodded. They decided to wait while Kyuubi got her bearings.
It only lasted about five minutes which was enough time for everyone to talk about some things before Kyuubi called them.
"Alright I found it," Kyuubi yelled and everyone walked to see a waterfall. Kyuubi smiled at the small water in front of them. Everyone glanced at it and raised their eyebrows.
"Kyuubi-chan it's just a watering hole," Naruto said and Kyuubi chuckled at him. She shook her head making the blonde and his teammates raise their eyebrows at her. Kyuubi tied her hair into a ponytail and grinned.
"Follow me and don't worry about your clothes," Kyuubi told them and everyone had a bad feeling about this. Their fears were confirmed when Kyuubi dived into the water. Everyone glanced at each other and sighed.
"Do we really have to?" Omoi asked and Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
"Hey I'll just dry us off with some katon chakra. Don't let it bother you too much dattebayo," Naruto said as he dived in next after Kyuubi. Samui, Karui and Omoi sighed at their brother, but they didn't feel like complaining especially since Kyuubi seemed to say that their was something interesting to where she was going. Maybe there was a passage or something like that.
"Well we're all the way here so we might as well go see for ourselves. Stay cool and follow me," Samui said as she dived in after Naruto while Karui and Omoi came after her. Everyone opened their eyes and saw a small passage underneath the land where they just were. The group marveled at it before Kyuubi pointed for them to follow her. She swan through the passage with Naruto and his group following her.
It had been over ten minutes of underwater swimming making the chunin slightly wince before Kyuubi pointed upwards. She went up and everyone eagerly followed her to get some air. Kyuubi surfaced and gasp as she took a breath of air. She climbed to the land and emerged from the pond with water dripping down her form. It was lucky for her that she had a fire affinity. She quickly warmed her clothes while Naruto, Samui, Karui and Omoi emerged also. The four gasped for air while Karui yelled.
"Dammit, where the hell...are...we? Wow," Karui dropped her jaw as everyone looked at the immense cavern that Kyuubi brought them to. The bijuu vixen chuckled as everyone got out of the water. Naruto made a few Kage bunshins to help dry his team off with his chakra while Kyuubi greeted them.
"This was where I stayed before I was captured. Contrary to what you might think I didn't go into my bijuu form very often as I liked walking around so I have a small house here. Come on and stay close to me. It gets confusing these caverns," Kyuubi said as she walked off. Everyone followed her and stuck close to her like the bijuu told them to.
"Tell me Kyuubi. People said that you loved destruction and all the like. Why do you prefer your human form?" Omoi asked and Kyuubi snickered.
"Well I didn't want people to attack me all the time. I'd prefer to be alone from time to time. The only reason I like this form is because it grants easy access that's all. Now then any more questions?" Kyuubi asked and Samui narrowed her eyes.
"Why did Hachibi and Nibi rampage in Kumo?" Samui asked and Kyuubi turned around. She noted Samui's seriousness before slightly smiling.
"Okay first things first. Nibi doesn't rampage. Hachibi maybe, but Nibi isn't the rampaging type," Kyuubi said making Karui, Omoi and Samui raise their eyebrows.
"Wait so she didn't rampage like we were told?" Karui asked while Omoi decided to tell his side.
"I was told that Nibi was once human turned bijuu something like that, but that'd have to put her around the time of the Rikudo Sennin. What do you think Kyuubi?" Omoi asked and the bijuu rolled her eyes.
"I think you humans are narrow-minded at times. Nibi was never a human, she has a human form granted, but never a human. Now then you might need to ask Nibi if she ever gets out. As for Hachibi, he's a mystery to me all together, but he might have a good reason if not just going on the occasional rampage that he's known to do," Kyuubi said shrugging her shoulders.
Everyone walked a little more before they all saw a small house. It wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It was rather quaint-looking, but still nice anyway.
"Nice place Kyuubi-chan," Naruto said as Kyuubi opened to door. She turned on the lights as everyone walked inside. They immediately looked around looked around while Kyuubi smiled.
"Whew, at least it did pile up dust over the years. Now then what I wanted to show you was in the back near my room. I can open it, but I'd like to see if you could Naruto-kun," Kyuubi said and brought them to the back where there was a door. Naruto noticed a small seal on it. It wasn't a blood seal so he could break it. It looked a little intricate, but not something his training with Jiraiya couldn't help him with.
"Alright I need you all to stand back. One wrong move and this thing will explode," Naruto told them and Kyuubi smiled. It seemed that he figured that part out already.
"Now let me see. It's designed to explode if anyone, but Kyuubi-chan touches it since it locks to her chakra. A regular cancellation seal won't work on this so I'll do it like this," Naruto said as he took out an ink pen. He dipped it in fresh ink and carefully wrote over the seal. He made only a few corrections to it before he slammed it.
"Kai," Naruto yelled and the seal glowed before it faded. Naruto reached for the doorknob and easily opened it with his grin showing across his face.
"How's that?" Naruto asked with a thumbs up while everyone walked inside. They looked at the place, but it didn't look to be more than a simple storage place, but then Kyuubi walked forward and knelt down towards a small door in the floor.
"Now I've never used these. Their just stuff that I've found, collected, or...stole over the many years," Kyuubi said as she opened the floor-door. Samui, Karui, Omoi and Naruto looked down and gasped. They coughed when some dust escaped, but Naruto dropped through the floor and picked up a scroll that was laying there. He opened it and widened his eyes.
"What's the matter Otouto? What do you see down there?" Karui asked and Naruto seemed speechless. He handed the scroll to Karui and the chunin opened it. She widened her eyes also before turning to Kyuubi.
"Where did you get this from? Do you know what this is?" Karui asked while Samui and Omoi looked it over. Kyuubi chuckled while leaning on a wall.
"Not really. I just collected the stuff. I didn't know what it was at the time. If it was interesting to me I took it. What is it?" Kyuubi asked and while Omoi gulped.
"It's a Raiton scroll that was said to be missing from Kumo's Shodaime Raikage. Where did you get this?" Omoi asked and Kyuubi shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't remember the location of all these scrolls, but I think I found that one in a bandit camp. I stole it rather easily," Kyuubi said making the others sweatdrop.
"Our Raikage is going to flip out when he sees this. I gotta see what else is down here," Karui said while Samui stood to her feet.
"Hold on and cool your heads everyone. By some time we do need to tell our Raikage about this scroll. The price for this...well it shouldn't have one at all. It's priceless to Kumo. In here are the techniques for the Shodaime's high level Raiton techniques that went way beyond and normal raiton techniques. They were called Byakuraiton( White Lightning Release) Techniques. It wasn't any type of bloodline, but it was said that only he could use it for some reason. Raikage-sama isn't going to stay cool about this," Samui said to everyone. Everyone else agreed and then Naruto looked around a bit more. There were other scrolls and he picked up another.
"I see some techniques from the era of the Nidaime Mizukage," Naruto yelled and gave up another scroll. Omoi quickly took the scroll and opened it.
"Wow this can't be real. This scrolls explains of a Suiton jutsu that was able to turn water into chakra. It says that the user is able to place their hand in water and when they sent chakra through the water, then the water would actually refill someone's chakra reserves. Kyuubi you knew about this, but didn't say anything?" Omoi asked and Kyuubi chuckled.
"Really I forgot about this place. I only remembered it when that noble from two days ago gave you all gifts. It brought me back to the time that I collected things of interest," Kyuubi said and Omoi furled up the scroll.
"Wait I remember looking through the bingo book. There was someone, An S-rank missing nin from Kiri. His name was Kisame Hoshigaki. He was called the Monster of Kumo and the Tailless Bijuu. He had the most massive reserves of chakra than anybody. Wait, what if Kumo gets these? Are we going to be arrogant, get attacked and the become a poor nation all because we took some scrolls for granted? Oh man this might not be a good idea," Omoi said thinking the last part to himself. Kyuubi chuckled at them, but then Karui looked down also. After those scrolls there was nothing, but maps, books, a couple of swords, knives, daggers and shinobi tools.
"I think that's everything. We've got a scroll from Kumo, and one from Kiri. I wish there were more," Naruto said making the others nod. Karui climbed out and Naruto was about to also before he saw a small trunk.
"Hey guys did anyone see the trunk down here?" Naruto asked before everyone looked down.
"What trunk?" Samui asked and Naruto came up to it. It was a black trunk and so Naruto opened it. He looked inside and the blonde grinned.
"Guys, come down here. Now!" Naruto said and immediately everyone dropped down. They looked in the trunk and looked inside also. Kyuubi looked down also and raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm, been a long time since I looked at those. I remember those at least. I was roaming the countries sides when I found those. I know they were scrolls from a village before the Five Great Nations. I don't remember what village it was called though," Kyuubi said as Naruto took out a scroll. It didn't have any origin on it and so the blonde opened it.
"Wait Naruto-kun! Don't open that one!" Kyuubi yelled and immediately there were four shots of different colors that went into the air. Everyone widened their eyes at the colors which were grey , green, blue, and white before Naruto closed it in a hurry. The colors shot for Team Samui as they were all hit. Samui was hit with the blue color, Omoi with the green, Karui with the white, and Naruto with the grey. Everyone gasped while Kyuubi widened her eyes.
"What happened? I feel weird," Karui said looking to see if anything was wrong.
"I don't feel any different," Omoi said and Samui nodded also. Naruto didn't feel anything different also while Kyuubi picked up the scroll.
"This is bad. Or maybe it's good. I don't know, but it might be very bad," Kyuubi thought as she picked up the scroll.
Everyone inspected everything on them and didn't see anything wrong so on that note everyone went upstairs and were ready to leave.
"So Kyuubi-chan do you want to take this house with us?" Naruto asked and Kyuubi shook her head.
"No I'd rather it stayed here so I can recall it later. It might serve us some good," Kyuubi said and everyone nodded. Samui and her team left the house as Kyuubi shut off the lights.
"You keep some weird things Kyuubi," Omoi said before everyone felt the ground rumble for a bit. They all shifted their balance and waited for it to calm down.
"An earthquake?" Karui wondered, but then it calmed down and everyone sighed. Soon they heard howling of some kind. It might have been the type that wind makes on occasion. After a while it stopped also.
"What's going on?" Naruto wondered, but no one had an answer for him. Kyuubi looked at them all and narrowed her eyes. She had a bad feeling about this. That scroll they picked up and opened was one that she could never forget, but she did which kind of defeated it's purpose.
"If what happened what I think happened then these four plus someone else are going to be unique growing up," Kyuubi thought, but everyone soon forgot the incident and jumped back into the water. They all continued to swim as always until they emerged back into the watering hole entrance.
"Alright we will dry off then we'll leave. Let's get going," Samui said and everyone nodded. They quickly ran off with Kyuubi following them.
Wave Country
It was currently nighttime as Team Samui made it to Wave Country. They all sighed in relief that they were able to make it like they wanted and wondered where they should stay.
"Anyone care to stay anywhere?" Naruto asked and everyone sighed. They looked around, but the place didn't seem to be very fit. Everyone sighed before Naruto dodged a kunai while everyone turned around. They all quickly tensed before they saw someone twirl their kunai with a grin over their face.
"Well it looks like we all made it at the same time," someone said making them narrow their eyes. They noticed the Konoha headbands and immediately they noticed everyone.
"Hey it's the exam proctor for the Chunin exams. How nice," Naruto said while behind Anko was Sakura, Sasuke and Sai.
"What are you guys doing here?" Karui asked and everyone sighed.
"We've got a mission to help Kiri overthrow their Mizukage. What about you?" Sakura asked while Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"We got that also. Why are you-," Naruto stopped when he saw a frog hop to his shoulder.
"Hey my man. How you been?" Gamakichi asked and Naruto chuckled.
"Yo Gamakichi. Haven't see you for a while. Nice to see you," Naruto said before Gamakichi dropped a scroll in his hand.
"From the Hokage ero-sennin. See ya man," Gamakichi said before poof-ing out. Samui, Omoi, and Karui closed in on Naruto while the blonde read the note. They all glanced at it and sighed. So that's what it was all about.
"Alright then we should begin the strategy meeting," Naruto said while Anko nodded, but her squad seemed confused.
"Anko-sensei what does he mean? Are we all going to Kiri?" Sakura asked and Anko sighed. She really had to work with Sakura that much was certain. Sasuke and Sai turned to Anko who was rubbing the back of her head.
"Yeah well you see, umm actually our mission is more of a C-rank since Kiri responded to Kumo first. This is kind of a joint mission if you will. We're providing Kumo with backup during the mission. We take orders from them and help them succeed in their mission. Our Hokage arranged it so it'll be good for your mission record," Anko said while Sai smiled.
"I see, well at least someone capable is in charge. Right Sasuke?" Sai asked while Sasuke growled at his teammate.
"I don't see why we need their help. We can handle this on our own," the Uchiha said while Naruto rolled his eyes. He walked up the Uchiha until the two glared at each other as Naruto pointed to himself.
"Chunin," Naruto said and then pointed to Sasuke.
"Genin. We give the orders, you follow them. Now then Samui-nee where should we go?" Naruto asked making Samui look around she sighed as she didn't know much about this place, but luckily someone came to their aid.
"So you need a place to stay huh? Well my house has enough room if you're willing to pay," an old drunkard said as everyone turned to him only in time to see him smacked upside the head.
"Tou-san that is no way to treat people. Sorry I'm Tsunami and this is my father, Tazuna. We'd be more than happy to help you out with a place to stay for a night or two," the woman said and everyone thanked the woman before they all walked towards her house.
"Thanks for helping us dattebayo. We couldn't have done much without you," Naruto said and Tsunami chuckled at him.
"It's alright. We don't get that many guests so it's fine. Is this all the company?" Tsunami asked and everyone nodded.
After some walking Tazuna opened the door and Tsunami turned on the light. Everyone saw the nice looking house as Tsunami and Tazuna took off their shoes. Everyone followed in suit. Karui brushed up against Sakura making the pink haired kunoichi jump slightly in pain.
"What's wrong with you?" Karui asked as Sakura rubbed her shoulder.
"You shocked me. It hurt like nothing I've even felt before," Sakura said and Karui raised an eyebrow.
"What are you talking about? It's just static electricity. Not a big deal. Calm down," Karui said as she walked into the room while Sakura rubbed her arm which had a small scar on it.
"Some static electricity. That hurt," Sakura said to herself as everyone followed inside. It was then that Anko turned to Kyuubi and narrowed her eyes. She felt such massive chakra rolling off of the woman that it was insane.
"Who is she?" Anko wondered as Samui came up to Tsunami. She tapped the older woman's making her turn around with her groceries in her hands.
"Excuse me, would it be cool if I asked you for some water?" Samui asked rubbing her throat. Tsunami nodded and walked into the kitchen.
"Inari, come down. We have guests," Tsunami yelled as she placed her bags in the kitchen. She offered Samui some water and the blonde quickly drank it.
"Cool," Samui said with a small smile as she set the glass down. Kyuubi narrowed her eyes before Anko tapped her on the shoulder.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" Anko asked and Kyuubi grinned as she turned around with her hand out.
"Oh I'm Mira. Nice to meet you," Kyuubi said and Anko shook it. She slightly shuddered for some reason as she let go of Kyuubi's hand.
Alright then I think it's time that we do our work," Samui said and everyone nodded, but not before seeing the boy, Inari show about half his face in a glare at them all. Some waved which made his eyes narrow even more before he ran back upstairs.
"Inari!" Tsunami yelled before sighing and bowed to everyone.
"Sorry about him. He's at that age I guess," Tsunami said rubbing the back of her head making the others nod that it wasn't a problem.
"Alright then let's see this over. Mira was it?" Tsunami asked and Kyuubi nodded turning to the woman.
"Mind helping me with the cooking?" Tsunami asked and Kyuubi sighed, but nodded as she walked with Tsunami into the kitchen. Meanwhile, Team Samui and Team Anko sat around the room and thought things over.
"Alright, Kiri is bound to be a war-zone by the time we arrive. Our client was a woman called Mei Terumi. She's the leader of the Rebel Forces against the Mizukage. Now then how is this going to work?" Samui asked while Anko sighed.
"It's really up to our client how we're going to proceed, but I think we should divide into teams," Anko said while Samui looked at the map.
"Not that it isn't a cool idea, but please explain," Samui said and Anko nodded.
"Well we're all teaming up and I believe that we should diversify our abilities," Anko said and Samui sighed. She slightly rubbed her throat before asking for some more water which she got.
"We hardly know each other at all and we leave tomorrow. We'll be there by mid-day which brings to question why she requested both villages," Samui said and Sakura raised her hand which no one knew why she was doing so since she could just talk like the rest of them.
"Maybe she wants to have some insurance. She wants to know that her side will win if she has more support," Sakura suggested and Samui along with Anko seemed okay with that.
"That would explain some things, but why send a genin team? I mean why not send in some chunin or jonin even?" Omoi asked and Anko rubbed the back of her head.
"Ah well Jiraiya-sama dealt with the council and told them that it's time for the genin to get back to the way they were during the times of war where they were actually serious about things so he gave the academy a much higher overhaul of teaching and genin are taking harder missions to make them gain experience. Some people think he's insane, but I believe that Hokage-sama is right. Plus those like our Uchiha here seem to agree with him," Anko said as she hung over Sasuke's head making the Uchiha sigh while Sakura looked jealous.
"He really is a weird man, but anyway we might as well get to know each other. So what do we do?" Karui asked while Sai spoke.
"I suggest that we do what our sensei did with us. We tell our likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams, but here we'll also tell our nature affinities and preferred style of combat," Sai suggested and everyone nodded in agreement with him. That seemed like the ideal choice for right now.
"Alright I guess I'll start. I'm Sai. I like drawing. My dislikes...don't really have any. Hobbies are drawing pictures. Dreams...I don't have one at the moment. I have an earth affinity and I prefer mid to long range combat. Next," Sai said and everyone glanced at each other.
"I'm Omoi. I like taking naps and eating lollipops. My dislikes are those who are too hot-headed at times. My hobbies are training with my team. My dream...don't have one at the moment except to be one of the Raikage's elite bodyguards. My affinity is lightning and...earth. I prefer mid to close range combat," Omoi stated and Sakura began next.
"I'm Sakura Haruno. I like( glances at Sasuke). My dislikes are anyone who underestimates me. My hobbies are (glances as Sasuke). M-My dream for the future is (glances at Sasuke and blushes). I don't know my nature affinity. I prefer long range combat," Sakura finished and everyone sighed. That intro was...unique at best. Karui then decided to continue.
"I'm Karui. I like training, my Otouto, and my team. I dislike those who don't train serious and don't understand the pressures of being shinobi," Karui said glancing at Sakura making the pink haired girl flinch slightly. She sighed and decided to continue.
"My hobby is training with my little brother and being with my team. My dream is to one day be one of the Raikage's elite jonin bodyguards also. My nature affinity is lightning and I prefer close range combat," Karui finished.
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha. I don't really like anything nor am I interested in 'starting' anything. I have many dislikes. Mh hobby is training to get stronger. My dream, no my ambition is to kill someone and avenge my clan. I have a fire and lightning affinity. I prefer mid to close range combat," Sasuke said ending with a small grumble while Naruto did his turn.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. I like Samui-nee, Karui-nee, Omoi, Yugi-hime, Mira-chan and others back in Kumo. I dislike those who don't train hard and take things for granted. My hobby is training with my team, practicing my fuinjutsu and becoming a better shinobi. My dream is to become the Godaime Raikage of Kumo. My affinities are Fire, Wind and Lightning. I prefer mid to close range combat," Naruto said with a cheeky grin and soon it was Anko's turn.
"Very well, I'm Anko Mitarashi. I like dango, my friends and some other people. My dislike are a certain man, and those who insult me. My hobby is training and being around others. My dream is to be recognized as Anko and not a certain name that I detest. My affinity is fire. I prefer close range combat," Anko finished and Samui started.
"Alright then I'm Samui. I like my team, my little brother, and my village. I don't really dislike anything. My hobby is simply training and getting stronger. I take small walks every now and then. My dream is to also be an elite bodyguard to the Raikage. My affinity is lightning and...water for some reason. I prefer mid to close range combat," Samui finished and everyone nodded.
"Alright so we're all in agreement that we know the basics about each other right?" Anko asked and everyone nodded. Anko sighed in relief as she took out a piece of paper.
"Then how about we match up people who compliment each other," Anko said as she wrote on the paper. Everyone looked down at the team.
"Team one will be Naruto, Samui, Sasuke and Sai," Anko said and the group nodded while she wrote down the second team.
"Second team will be Omoi, me, Karui and Sakura. I think this is the best solution, but it's your call on something like this," Anko said to Samui who narrowed her eyes. She mumbled to herself, but nodded.
"That seems cool enough. I agree with it. Very well. Now then we should all go eat while we can-," Samui as she took the last of her water and drank it while Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Samui-oneechan have you always been so thirsty?" Naruto asked and Samui shook her head. She had realized it much.
"Not really, but I don't see anything wrong with it. Come on," Samui said as everyone got up. Karui blushed against Sasuke making the Uchiha slightly curse.
"Damn that hurt," Sasuke said rubbing his arm while Karui turned to him.
"Man is all of Konoha sensitive to static electricity or something? Calm down," she said as she went into the dining room with the others. Unknown to them all, Kyuubi was watching the four and saw their chakra essence. Karui's was white-ish like lightning. Omoi's was green like the earth, Samui's was completely blue like the water and Naruto's was grey-ish like the wind and clouds. It only confirmed Kyuubi's fears or concerns.
"Man I can't believe this. They actually opened that scroll. I hope their going to be alright," Kyuubi said in thought before she saw everyone conversing with each other. She could only hope that everything was going to be fine.
KG: Done. If you think I might overpower Kumo from those scrolls then don't think that. Granted I want Kumo to be the strongest I don't need them overshadowing the other nations and becoming arrogant. Also the reason I gave this mission to Anko and her team is because Anko doesn't seem like the type to allow D-ranks. Plus I want them strong for later. I have a pic of Kyuubi's house on my profile so look if you want. Also if you can figure out what I did to Team Samui then you get a special surprise.
Naruto: Stop the suspense and tell them.
KG: No, they must figure it out if they can.
Karui: Sigh, this won't go well.
KG: Why not?
Karui: Just sayin'. I won't protect you when they gang on you.
KG: Whatever.
Kyuubi: At least I'm out of that seal. Now I can eat my favorite food.
Omoi: Like what?
Kyuubi: Like PIZZA!
KG: They didn't have pizza in the Shinobi world. Did they?
Naruto: Beats me man. I wouldn't know if they did.
Kyuubi: Who cares. Me likie pizza!
KG: Then no pizza for you lol.
Kyuubi: Funny KG. Now then how shall I kill you?
KG: (Gulp), Cya (Runs off)
Kyuubi: That's what I thought. You spineless, wimp.
(I stop)
KG: Whoa lady. I ain't no wimp. Take it back!
Kyuubi: Make me.
KG: Oh it's on lady!
Kyuubi: Bring it!
(Fight breaks out)
Naruto: Should we stop them?
Omoi: You wanna die?
Naruto: Nah. Well people since KG is...preoccupied.
KG: You're pinned Kyuubi! Now give up before you face the Twister!
Kyuubi: Not on your life.
Naruto: See ya laterz people. Oh KG told me to remind you guys. Figure out what he did to us with those colors and you get a special surprise. (Hint: It has to do with nature affinity.) Bye bye.
