KG: It seems quite a few of you people actually got it. While their powers won't be godlike, they will be slightly below that. You even gave me some new ideas for them. Alright then I'll get started.
The sun beamed across the room where the guys were sleeping. They had all be planning late last night and had been quite tired, but they were happy to at least get it all out of the way. So on that note, the first one to get up was Omoi. He yawned and rubbed the back of his head before hopping to his feet. The white haired chunin glanced to see Naruto still sleeping and sighed.
"Why is it my job to wake him up?" Omoi wondered before he shook Naruto making the blonde open his eyes. Naruto rubbed his eyes before turning an eye to see Omoi's form.
"Time to go?" He asked getting up, but Omoi shook his head in response to the question.
"Not yet, but we'll be moving soon. I think Tsunami-san and Mira-san are awake now. Let's go," Omoi said and Naruto agreed. The two left Sai and Sasuke in their room.
They walked down the stairs for a few moments before they saw Tsunami greet them with her usual smile. They smiled back, but then they saw Samui, Karui and Anko awake. Mira was right next to Tsunami helping her cook. If Naruto could say one thing then it was that Kyuubi sure as hell knew how to cook.
"Good morning you two," Tsunami said while Samui and Karui took notice of the two of them.
"It's about time you woke up," Karui told them while Omoi took a seat next to her. Naruto sat next to Samui and noticed the white haired chunin put his elbows on the table.
"Not so loud Karui. You'll wake the freakin' dead with that voice," Omoi said as he closed his eyes. Karui gritted her teeth before punching Omoi on the head, but then the redhead winced as she rubbed her hand in pain. Samui and Naruto took notice at Karui slightly bruised hand.
"Dammit that hurt. I always knew you were hardheaded but damn. I think I punch a boulder," Karui said while Omoi looked at her strangely. Kyuubi narrowed her eyes while she placed the dishes on the table. The words 'confusion' and 'grievance' were written over her face as she saw they were already starting to manifest. She knew she would have to tell them, but she also wanted to see how strong they had manifested.
Naruto took notice of Kyuubi anxiety and wondered if something was wrong. Naruto and Kyuubi had worked up a plan that the two would still be connected even if Naruto released her from the seal. Naruto was just as much a jinchuuriki as anyone else only he didn't have his bijuu inside him all the time. Not that he minded. He still had access to her chakra, but that was only a small part of the deal.
"Mira-chan are you alright?" Naruto asked and Kyuubi turned to him. She seemed off for a bit before nodding and heading back to the kitchen. Soon enough Sasuke, Sai, and Sakura came down the stairs to see everyone in the room.
"Where are Tazuna-san and Inari-san?" Sakura asked while Tsunami looked out the window.
"They are outside. Tazuna is having a talk with Inari about some things," Tsunami said while her joyful mood deflated a bit. Some people glared at Sakura making the pink haired girl blush in embarrassment of her words. Naruto sighed as he finished his food. He quickly got to his feet and smiled.
"I'll be right back. The food was good Mira-chan," Naruto said heading for the door. He quickly left making the members of Team seven raise their eyebrows.
"Where is he going?" Sasuke asked as Samui took another drink of water before setting it down.
"He often walks off for a few times. He'll come back before we leave," Samui said making Sasuke nod as he sat down.
"So when are we leaving?" Sakura asked and while Anko pushed her plate to the side.
"We'll be leaving in a few hours after breakfast. Make sure you have everything prepare gaki," Anko told her teammates making Sasuke, Sai, and Sakura nod as they ate their food.
With Naruto
Naruto sighed in sheer bliss of the quite morning. He'd enjoyed seeing the trees again and while he enjoyed the mountainous Kumo a part of him still enjoyed the calming feeling that the scenery gave him.
The blonde walked for a few more minutes before he heard talking. He quickly ran behind a tree and looked to see who was talking. He saw narrowed his eyes when he saw Tazuna talking to Inari, the boy the blonde and the others had seen last night.
"Inari, Tsunami was really disappointed in how you treated the guests. What's the matter?" Tazuna asked and Inari looked at the ground. He kicked up some dirt before he sighed.
"I'm sorry Oji-san. I should be happy that we're free, but I just can't help thinking that what happened to us might happen again," Inari said and Naruto raised an eyebrow. He'd been to wave before, but if he had then he would've remembered Inari. He was sure that he would've.
"You mean you think that Gato's coming back?" Tazuna asked and Inari nodded. That struck Naruto like a tidal wave at sea. He deeply scowled before he walked out of the trees.
"Gato is dead and he's not coming back," Naruto said making Inari and Tazuna gasp at the person who was behind them. Inari narrowed his eyes before turning his head.
"How would you know?" he asked in almost a whisper while Naruto's eyes hardened in a cold glare almost searing through the back of Inari's head.
"Because I killed him myself. I know he's dead," Naruto said making Tazuna and Inari widen their eyes. They both looked at the blonde strangely while the small boy walked up to Naruto.
"You killed him? I doubt that," Inari said while Naruto took out one of his swords. He allowed it to shimmer in the sunlight before pointing it at Inari.
"He's death was one of my missions. Kumo had learned of Gato and while we weren't happy with it we had been some of his clients. In the end we heard about a betrayal he did to us and so my Raikage sent me and my team to kill him. The things I saw him do were things that no human should ever do. I was only ten at the time so you probably don't remember me. Once he died, his organization fell apart. We had heard of a country he was terrorizing. I never imagined that it was this one," Naruto said while Tazuna narrowed his eyes. He took a closer look at the blonde before gasping.
"I remember you now. You're that brat who scolded me for trying to drink myself into a coma," Tazuna said making Inari sweatdrop. The blonde nodded as he rubbed the back of his head.
"I didn't know you full well so I wasn't able to recall you that easily, but yeah. You were so drunk off your rocker that if I didn't come then you'd have alcohol poisoning," Naruto snickered while Tazuna blushed as he rubbed the back of his head.
"When you mysteriously disappeared I wondered where you went. It's good to see you," Tazuna said and Naruto nodded. Inari tugged Tazuna's clothing bringing the two down to him.
"Oji-san did he really kill Gato?' Inari asked and Tazuna's smile gleamed. Inari raised an eyebrow before turning to Naruto.
"Are you kidding? I remember when he dropped Gato's body in the middle of our streets. People were so surprised and immediately we all threw a party. Don't you remember it?" Tazuna asked and Inari shook his head. He had heard everyone partying, but he didn't know why at the time. Plus he didn't really care at the time. It was only the day after that he heard of the news. He was rather happy when he heard of it, but some of the suffering still made its way to his heart.
"So you killed Gato. It's was only because you were stronger than him. Had you been in our shoes you couldn't do a thing. In the end the strong rule and the weak suffer," Inari told him and Naruto closed his eyes. Inari was expecting a yell or scold, but Naruto settled for smacking him over the head making the boy wince.
"Yeah right idiot. The only reason you're weak if because you've allowed yourself to think that. I know I'm not weak and neither are you. You know it, I know it, and Tazuna here knows it. Mabui-neechan taught me something when I was still an up and coming shinobi. She told me that while the world is greedy and money is considered power it doesn't make you strong. Only when I find things to protect is when I become genuinely strong. All the suffering that I see I don't want it for my friends, family or anyone else so I get stronger to protect it. Tell me Inari, who do you want to protect?" Naruto asked and Inari looked at the ground. He muttered to himself and rubbed the back of his head.
"Everyone, I want to protect them all. My mother, my granddad, all the people of Wave, but how can I do it?" Inari wondered and Naruto grinned he knelt down and patted Inari on the head. He quickly took out three scrolls and a piece of paper.
"This scrolls explains chakra. This one is chakra exercises and jutsu from D to B rank. This scroll is filled with kunai, shuriken and other things. This piece of paper will tell you your affinity to which element. I'll be training you until your can do C-ranked jutsus. Now then would you like to see one jutsu from me?' Naruto asked and Inari immediately gleamed. He nodded and Naruto walked off with the boy following. Tazuna followed also and the three came to a small open field.
"This jutsu is a simple D-rank so I'll show it to you. Get ready," Naruto said making Inari and Tazuna watched carefully as Naruto went through his handsigns.
"Fuuton: Daitoppa," Naruto yelled and immediately he widened his eyes along with Inari and Tazuna as a fiercer than normal wind slammed into some trees knocking them down one after the other and the radius of the blast was enough to enough to get three trees at once. Naruto looked at the treeless destruction while Inari gasped.
"Naruto that was so cool," Inari yelled while Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"That wasn't normal. I didn't even put that much chakra into it. With that much wind it was borderline B-rank if not C-rank. What happened?" Naruto thought to himself. He heard the wind howl around him before he turned to Inari.
"Well the technique is D-rank, I guess I pushed too much chakra into it. I'll leave a Kage Bunshin here. It'll help you. Just go easy on it or it will dispel. Well I got to go back. Also tell the others what happened," Naruto said keeping that last part to himself.
Inari, Naruto and Tazuna arrived inside and saw everyone ready to go.
"Well it seems that you made it. Shall we go now?" Sakura asked and Naruto nodded. He, Sasuke, Sai and Samui took one group while Anko, Sakura, Karui and Omoi took the other. Naruto walked over to Kyuubi and whispered in her ear.
"So what are you going to do?" He asked and Kyuubi closed her eyes. She quickly did some handsigns and poofed into a small white fox with nine tails.
"I'll travel like this. It's better and more convenient," Kyuubi said and Naruto nodded. He unzipped his jacket while Kyuubi jumped inside. It tickled Naruto for a bit, but then she was settled inside and Naruto made his way back to his group. He quickly made a clone and ordered it to supervise Inari's training while they left. The clone nodded and took Inari into the fields to help him train while everyone else gave Tazuna and Tsunami a goodbye.
Everyone ran through the trees and ran towards Kiri. They decided not to stop since it wouldn't take them long to get there. They still had to hitch a boat ride, but they decided to be quick about it. Kyuubi surveyed the partially destroyed forest that looked like a small tornado ran through it. She narrowed her eyes and decided that she should tell the others about what was going on with them, but she'd wait until the boat towards Kiri.
It only took about an hour to reach the shores while Samui and the others noticed their boat. They quickly got on and showed their identification. The head of the boat quickly set them all up with accommodations.
"Since we're going to Kiri I'd advise all of you to keep quiet. Who knows what going on there," the man said and everyone nodded. They weren't staying long on the boat and just had to get to a small shore near Kiri. That's where the rebel forces were, but they could wait. So in that time, Anko and her team were going over some things that they hadn't heard before while Kyuubi brought Samui, Omoi Naruto and Karui towards the back of he ship where nobody was around.
"What the matter Mira-san? Why did you bring us back here?" Omoi asked while Kyuubi sat on the ground. The others followed while Kyuubi pulled out the scroll that Naruto opened.
"You've all been strange lately and I know why. Samui, you've gotten more thirsty. Karui, you've ended up shocking people who say it really hurts. Omoi, you've unintentionally hurt Karui's hand when she punched you and Naruto-kun you were the reason for the destroyed part of the forest right?" Kyuubi asked making everyone raise their eyebrows in confusion.
"Isn't it all a normal thing?" Karui asked and Kyuubi shook her head. She placed the scroll in front of them and sighed.
"I can't believe I forgot this scroll. I actually found this scroll on my travels as well. I never opened it, but after some research I found out what it was. Naruto-kun, when you opened that scroll four colors shot into the air. Grey, White, Green, and Blue. They took up residence inside your bodies. Don't worry it's not bad, but I'll tell you this. You are all embodying the elements of nature except for one," Kyuubi told them making the group more confused so Kyuubi explained.
"Samui-san, you have the gift of Water. I don't know it's properties, but you'll learn soon enough. Karui has Lightning, Naruto has Wind and Omoi has Earth. The only element being left out if Fire," Kyuubi said while Karui narrowed her eyes.
"That's why those two were shocked by me and said it hurt even though I didn't feel anything, but what do you mean we embody them?" Karui asked and Kyuubi rubbed her head before talking.
"It's complicated at the least. Right now your control over the elements is high. Higher than any shinobi currently. I don't know what these means but I want you all to be prepared for anything," Kyuubi told them making the four nod, but then Omoi seemed the most confused.
"But I don't have an earth affinity and Samui doesn't have a water affinity. It was weird to me when we said that we did when we didn't," Omoi told her and Kyuubi nodded.
"That's because you unconsciously felt the nature coursing through your bodies. You felt the most comfortable with saying it so that's why you did. Now it also doesn't matter what your past affinity was. It also doesn't matter how high it was because when you were hit with the color that element became your primary and most powerful element. Even if you can't control it," Kyuubi responded answering Omoi's statement.
"That's also why my fuuton jutsu was so powerful even though I didn't push that much chakra into it. Kyuubi-chan how do we control something like this?" Naruto asked and Kyuubi shook her head.
"I wish I knew, but I don't. Just be careful you guys. You're a lot more powerful than any of you realize," she said before henging back to her fox form. She jumped back into Naruto's jacket while everyone got to their feet. Samui narrowed her eyes and walked towards the water. She glared at it for a while before she stuck her hand out.
"Samui want are you doing?" Karui asked while the blonde remained silent. The waters slightly rose to her command before Samui pushed them back. The water were blasted away from the ship before Samui slowly pulled them back.
"She was right. I don't know how we're going to manage, but we'll need to. Stay cool and don't act recklessly. Just cause we have these powers doesn't mean we can control them. We'll need training to master these," Samui told them and everyone agreed with her. No one told the others what they talked about and before the sunset they were all ready to go, but before that.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu," Naruto yelled as he slammed the boat. Immediately Fura came out and smiled to her summoner.
"Greeting Naruto-sama. How may I help you?" Fura asked and Naruto smiled. He knelt down and turned to Samui.
"Time to deliver it to A-Jiji Samui-nee," Naruto told her and the older blonde nodded. She handed the scroll of the Shodaime Raikage to Naruto.
"Deliver this to A-Jiji back in Kumo for me," Naruto told her and Fura nodded and she took the scroll into her mouth.
"It'll be done Naruto-sama," Fura said and then vanished out of sight. Anko stopped the man in charge from steering the boat anymore as they stood on the ship's railing.
"Alright guys let's get going. We have a lot of ground to cover," Anko said as she dived into the water. Sasuke and Sai sighed and followed her.
"Man this'll mess up my hair," Sakura said before Karui rolled her eyes and pushed her into the water making Sakura shriek out.
"One of these days I'll have to beat her to a pulp," Karui said as she jumped inside. Omoi and Naruto chuckled as they followed while Samui gave the man their thanks and followed after everyone.
Back In Kumo
"Another mission done Raikage-sama," Yugito said and A nodded. He looked up to see the Nibi jinchuuriki's face and sighed.
"He's fine Yugito. You worry about him too much," A told her and Yugito pouted. She should have the right to worry about her boyfriend.
"I understand Raikage-sama. I know he's alright, but I just can't help worrying," Yugito said before there was a pound at the door.
"Come in," A said and Tsunade opened the door. She glanced at Yugito and the Yugito did the same to her. Tsunade walked up to A and narrowed her eyes.
"A, you really need better medics that this. Sheesh, they aren't horrible, but they could do so much better. Anyway that's not why I'm here. I have to tell you that we need medical supplies. I know of a small place. I'd like to take a group of medics with me. I'll be good to show them some things," Tsunade said and A agreed.
"I see and where are you taking them?" he asked and Tsunade took out a map that was right between Iwa and Kumo.
"I'm taking them here. This place offers the best natural resources. It's not far from where we are now. At least a day away," Tsunade told him and A nodded. He granted her permission to go and with that Tsunade left, but after she did there was a poof in the room making A and Yugito jump slightly.
"Raikage-sama, a scroll from Naruto-sama. Please take it," Fura said and the Raikage quickly took it into his hands. Fura vanished out while A opened the scroll. A note fell out while the Raikage scanned it.
"A-Jiji,
Hey A-Jiji, it's been quite a few weeks since I've said anything to you. How's Yugi-hime doing? I really miss her, but that's enough about that. I sent you something that you'll find surprising. Something that Kumo really needs. Try not to have a heart attack with you see what me and my team found. We're going to Kiri right now. Hope to see you soon.
The Godaime Raikage of Kumo, Naruto Uzumaki,"
A chuckled to himself before he turned to the other scroll next to him. He quickly opened it and scanned its contents. Immediately he stood to his feet and slammed the table making Yugito flinch.
"Raikage-sama, what's wrong?" Yugito asked while A picked up the scroll. He quickly snapped his fingers and a member of Kumo's VOLT appeared behind him. A gave him the scroll and spoke in a commanding tone.
"Give this to Mabui immediately then summon her here," A told the VOLT member and he quickly vanished from sight while the blonde Raikage turned to Yugito.
"Yugito, I want you to go get bring Samui's team back to Kumo immediately!" A told her and Yugito raised an eyebrow.
"But Raikage-sama it's only been a month since they've been gone," Yugito told him, but the look from A made her quickly bow as she ran out the room.
"What was in that scroll? I wonder what Naruto-kun found," Yugito thought while Nibi stirred from her sleep.
"Sounds like something good. He might announce it later," Nibi said and Yugito agreed with her as she ran to get get the blonde and his team, but for what reason she didn't know.
With Team Samui and Team Seven
Everyone was swimming in the water while they made their way to Kiri, but they were all shocked at something. It was the fact that Samui was so much more faster than them all. She was further a head of them all as she continued swimming through the water like it came natural to her.
"Has she always been that fast?" Omoi thought to himself before they all continued swimming. The obvious one lagging was Sakura as she couldn't hold her breath long. Naruto sighed and turned around. He grabbed Sakura and flung her arm around his shoulder.
"Fuuton: Shinkusho( Wind Release: Vacuum Palm)," Naruto yelled as he tried to limit his chakra, but the instant he hyperextended his arm a powerful blow sent him and Sakura dashing through the water at a high speed.
"Kuso, I tried to hold back too. This power is going to be a problem," Naruto said before he and Sakura shot out of the water and fell to the ground of an island. Sakura coughed up some water while the others emerged also.
"Train this girl on how to hold her breath," Naruto said to Anko and the Snake Mistress chuckled as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Well it seems we made it anyway," Anko said and before long Karui dodged a kunai that came from a tree. She gasped when three shinobi came out. They glared at the group before one spoke.
"Who are you? Are you Kiri's reinforcements?" they asked, but Naruto walked forward.
"Are you the rebels?" Naruto asked and the three nodded. The blonde sighed as he took out the scroll.
"We're from Kumo and their from Konoha. We were told to offer assistance to you in your effort to get rid of the Yondaime Mizukage," Naruto said and one of the rebels took the note in his hands. He glanced it over with a nod to his teammates.
"Follow us, but know that we're not too trusting at this time so don't do anything stupid," the man said and everyone followed him. They walked through a very thick forest as it seemed to be the perfect place for camouflage.
"So who is the leader of your forces?" Naruto asked while the man continued to walk.
"Our leader is Mei Terumi-sama. She is leading us to topple that tyrant of a Mizukage," the man said as Sakura looked around the forest.
"S-So is she strong?" Sakura asked getting a little tense. Everyone seemed to notice, but no one said anything about it.
"Oh she's strong alright. The strongest we have. Oh we're here. I'll take you to her tent," the man told them all as everyone saw people talking and training. Some spared a glance at the group, but most didn't care either way. The lead rebel pointed to a tent with a moss green color before opening it. Everyone walked inside to see a huge map in the center of the room. There were five people in the room. Two to the right and two to the left with one in the middle. One of them had a bandage over his eye. He wore a crossed out Kiri headband and had on a dark green obi robe. Not suited for combat, but good with swift movement. Next to him was a boy about Naruto's age. He had on glasses along with a light blue and dark blue spotted camouflage shirt and some blue shorts. He had what Naruto thought was a sword on his back if it could be figured like that, but that was beside the point.
"Weird group," Naruto said to himself in his thoughts before looking to his left. He spotted a man with a cloth over his mouth. He had a steely gaze and wore a sleeveless black shirt with black pants. He had a heavy sword on his back just like the boy. His hair was slightly black and he wore grey shinobi boots. Naruto recognized that one. He was Zabuza Momochi. The one next to him was a mystery. Naruto wasn't sure if it was a boy or a girl, but they had a nice pale white face. He/She wore a traditional kimono style dress that went down to the ankles. They wore shinobi sandals quick for excess movement. And the one at the center, she was quite hot in Naruto's opinion. She had auburn colored hair that flowed way down her backside. She wore a dark blue battle kimono as well as ankle guards around her legs.
"We'll set up positions here now then as for the rest of our forces-,"
"Ahem, Mei-sama. I have two groups from Kumo and Konoha. They said they were here to offer us their assistance," the man said and everyone turned to them.
"Well I know the Kumo one, but I didn't suggest for Konoha," Mei said making the Konoha group raise their eyebrows. The man tensed and reached for his sword before the man to Naruto's right stood to his feet.
"I did Mei-sama. I figured that we could use all the help we could get. I'm sorry if I caused you an inconvenience," the one eyed man said and Mei sighed.
"Ao tell me when you do things like this. I don't need to start doubting the integrity of my own men," Mei said and the now known Ao nodded. Mei got to her feet as did the others. She was quite tall in Naruto's opinion as she held out her hand.
"Hello I'm Mei Terumi, leader of the rebel forces. How are you?" she asked and Naruto grabbed her hand. He rubbed the back of his head and smiled.
"Hello we're Team Samui. I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. This is Karui, Omoi, and Samui," Naruto told her making some people gasp while Naruto sighed.
"Namikaze? You're Minato Namikaze's son aren't you?" the boy asked and Naruto nodded. He slightly blushed while Mei shook hand with Karui, Omoi and Samui.
"Hello we're Team Seven. This is Sasuke Uchiha, Sai, and Sakura Haruno. I'm Anko Mitarashi," Anko said to her and Mei nodded. She grinned before clapping her hands.
"Haku, Chojuro show our allies to their quarters," Mei said making Haku bow along with Chojuro. Zabuza and Ao got to their feet also.
"So when are you attacking Kirigakure?" Sakura asked and Mei smirked.
"Early tomorrow morning. Tell me are you all acquainted with each other?" she asked and they all nodded as they got used to each other last night. Mei breathed in relief as she sat down.
"I thank you for responding to my request. You got here just in time. I heard from some of my shinobi about your teams exploits during the chunin exams and I had to meet you," Mei said making Naruto's team bow.
"So what's the plan?" Omoi asked and Kumo and Konoha sat down. Chojuro and Haku left the room for a bit while Zabuza pointed to a map.
"Right now we're focusing our attack power here. We need to draw their forces here. That will be the focus of our attack. Our opponent is a jinchuuriki so we can expect a power struggle at the near end," Zabuza said while Naruto pointed to a small spot.
"If you can get me here then I can fight with Mei. It was said that she's a Kage-level kunoichi," Naruto said and Mei nodded even if she was confused.
"Why would you fight?" she asked and Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"Because I'm a jinchuuriki also," the blonde said making Mei, Zabuza and Ao widen their eyes.
"What's a jinchuuriki?" Sakura asked while Anko narrowed her eyes.
"Shh I'll tell you later gaki," Anko said and Sakura kept her mouth quiet while the news settled in.
"Really? Well that works out for us. If we launch our forces here then you and I can come in through here. If all goes well then we'll be able to fight on even ground with Yagura. Yeah that works out really well, but I'd like to put some of the others back if possible," Mei said while Samui and Anko pointed to one spot near the ocean.
"Please place us here. We can think of something," Samui said while Anko agreed. Mei narrowed her eyes before nodding.
"Zabuza I want you and Haku to accompany them. Chojuro will accompany Naruto-san and me towards the heart of Kiri. Ao I want you, Karui-san and Omoi-san to lead the counter strike. As for Sai-san, Sasuke-san, and Sakura-san I think you're best as back-up for right now. If anytime I need someone I need you three on the ready understand?" Mei asked making the three genin nod in agreement. That totally destroyed their strategy meeting, but that was fine for the moment.
"Alright now that everyone agrees with it we can now lead our strike," Mei said while Samui slightly raised her hand.
"I'm sorry to ask this, but does anyone know any Suiton techniques. I'd like to learn some for tomorrow," Samui told them and Mei pointed to Zabuza who grimaced. He growled while Mei smiled.
"Sure Zabuza here can teach you some things. Right Zabuza?" Mei asked with a deadly smile and the swordsman sighed with a nod as he got to his feet and walked out with Samui following him.
"Any Doton users?" Omoi asked and Mei placed a finger to her chin. She thought for a second before she motioned for someone. Immediately a man came through the tent and bowed.
"He can teach you. I don't know how you'll learn in one night, but he's the only doton user besides me. Hope you like him," Mei said and Omoi nodded with thanks. Naruto chuckled at the two as they already wanted to start mastering their power. Naruto had training with Asuma so he was fine for the moment. Karui had raiton chakra by nature so she was fine also.
"Well if that's all then we'll be going. Remember to wake up early that's all," Mei said to them all as she left.
"Hello, I'll be showing you to your rooms," Chojuro said as he and Haku left. Naruto and the others left also.
With Samui and Zabuza
Zabuza brought Samui to a small spot near the ocean and folded his arms.
"This is such a pain in the ass. Alright, what do you want to learn?" He asked and Samui glared at the water before turning to Zabuza.
"Anything, I know we don't have time for lesson. It'd be cool if you just did what you normally did. We're short on time so I'll learn more from a spar," she said and Zabuza shrugged his shoulders. He took his sword off his back while Samui grabbed her tanto.
"Fine, try not to die," Zabuza said as he did his handsigns. Samui narrowed her eyes as a mist began to form around her.
"Suiton: Kirigakure no Jutsu," Zabuza yelled and a mist began to form. He chuckled as he faded out of sight while Samui narrowed her eyes. If what Kyuubi said was true then she had no time to waste in mastering her abilities.
"Do you mind if I kill you?" Zabuza asked before Samui waved her hands strangely. She closed her eyes quickly extended her arms in different directions. The mist quickly spread throughout the field and dispelled like nothing. Samui slightly smirked while Zabuza widened his eyes.
"How did she do that? She didn't even make a handsign," Zabuza thought as he charged at her. Samui blocked his attack with her tanto as their swords clashed through the ocean. Zabuza chuckled as he tried to kick Samui, but the blonde quickly backflipped away and stood on the surface of the water.
"Big mistake girl," Zabuza said as he did another set of handsigns. This girl wanted to learn then she would learn.
"Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu," Zabuza yelled as the ocean under Samui's feet exploded in a large water dragon. The blonde widened her eyes and surprised Zabuza when she didn't move. He narrowed his eyes when Samui brought her hand back. She narrowed her eyes as she slammed the dragon in the face making it explode in a shower of water missiles towards Zabuza. The rebel nin gasped as he dodged them left and right while Samui dropped to the ground. She felt her hands tingle for a bit before she got to her feet.
"So, it requires chakra to do this. It's amazing and cool. But the pressure sort of hurts," Samui said as she looked up. Zabuza glared at her while Samui glared back.
"Well Zabuza-san I'd like to continue. I need to see the limits to these powers," Samui said to him while she thought the last part.
"You're interesting. Very well girl let's go," Zabuza said to her and the two continued their fight.
Later that night
Samui sighed as she came through the tent. She saw Naruto reading and Karui cleaning her sword. Both noticed her and the blonde narrowed his eyes.
"Did you get what you want?" Naruto asked and Samui sat down around the light in their room. She glanced at her hands while Kyuubi poked her head out of Naruto's jacket.
"You tried to test your power didn't you?" Kyuubi asked and Samui simply nodded. Kyuubi sighed as she rubbed her hair with her paws.
"It feels strange. I defected all of his Suiton attacks and could even make them more powerful than he did. Kyuubi was did that scroll do to us?" Samui asked and Kyuubi shook her head.
"I don't know. I just know that you four are going to have a lot of problems controlling that power, but you'll master it one day," Kyuubi said while Omoi came through the tent. He sighed and sat down.
"You have a hard time also?" Naruto asked and Omoi nodded. He leaned against the tent wall and looked at his friends.
"I was able to make a small tremor that made the man stumble slightly. It could just be that I tried to add chakra to it, but it was heavy. What are you going to do?" Omoi asked and everyone sighed. They weren't sure how they could do it either. Kyuubi noticed the mood and smiled
"Well it's not like you're going to be gods with the abilities. You're only mortals. It'll just take you all a few years to control it. In fact I think this is good as you're controlling them well. Karui's not raining down lightning over us. Omoi's not making earthquakes. Samui's not making tidal waves and Naruto's not creating hurricanes," Kyuubi said with a smile while Naruto's eyes gleamed.
"I can make hurricanes? Awesome dattebayo," Naruto said getting to his feet before Karui tackled him to the ground.
"Don't you dare try it Otouto. Just cause you can make one doesn't mean you can control it. You might end up causing a lot of damage. We need to get better with this before we do anything," Karui told him and Naruto rubbed the back of his head.
"You're right Karui-nee. I understand," Naruto told her and Karui got off him. Meanwhile Samui folded her arms before looking at the scroll.
"So who has the other power? There's one left right?" she asked and Kyuubi took out the scroll.
"It's still sealed. Thank Kami, I don't know what would happen if all five elements were unleashed. Now then get to bed. You all have an invasion to fight don't you?" Kyuubi asked and they all nodded. Naruto turned out the light while they all went to sleep in preparation for tomorrow.
Kirigakure
"Yagura-sama, the rebels will be moving tomorrow. Shall we prepare?" A guard asked and Yagura narrowed eyes in his seat. He sighed while he stood to his feet and looked out at Kiri.
"Yes, prepare everything. We'll be ready for them tomorrow. We'll crush those rebels once and for all," Yagura said and the guard nodded. He quickly vanished while a shadow came from behind Yagura.
"Hehe everything is falling into place. Isn't it Yagura?" The man asked with his sharingan in his eyes. Yagura stared out at the village getting ready for the fight that would decide things tomorrow.
Somewhere in Oto
"What do you mean the Uchiha didn't come? He should be craving my power!" Orochimaru yelled out at the Sound Ninja Four. The all held their heads down in slight shame while Sakon stepped forward.
"We're terribly sorry Orochimaru-sama," Sakon said while Orochimaru threw his chair at the wall making everyone flinch while Kabuto came through the door. He looked at the semi-destroyed room before seeing Orochimaru cursing.
"Orochimaru-sama I've received word that Sasuke has gone to Kiri for a mission. It seems that they are trying to help the rebels take Kiri," Kabuto said while Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. He slightly growled before he turned to the four subordinates.
"Leave my presence before I kill you all. Kabuto keep me updated on their progress. I don't want to lose another Uchiha," Orochimaru said and Kabuto nodded with a small bow before leaving.
"Kukuku I will have you Sasuke. One of these days," Orochimaru said to himself as his laughter echoed through the halls.
With the rebels, early morning
Mei stood on the bow of the ship while she sighed. Today was the day. Naruto was right next to her and Mei folded her arms.
"The stillness before war is...deafening," Mei said while Naruto nodded. He could probably sympathy with the way Mei was feeling.
"I know that's right. Well you needn't worry about anything. I've got your back," the blonde chunin told her and Mei smiled with a nod as the ships in front of her vanished.
On another ship, Zabuza and Samui were looking through the mist. They stood next to each other while Anko rested near the railing. Haku seemed immersed in his own thing so no one messed with him.
"Have you even been to war before?" Zabuza asked and Samui shook her head. She'd be lying if she said that she wasn't feeling even a little bit nervous.
"I can't say that I have, but that's fine. I know where my abilities lie," Samui responded and Zabuza turned to her.
"Your moves from our fight. Just what kind of Suiton user are you?" He asked as the only person he'd ever seen doing that was Yagura at one point. He was the strongest Suiton user that Zabuza had ever known, but Samui seemed to almost surpass him.
"Well I wouldn't know. I wasn't originally a Suiton user. I still doubt I am, but let's discuss that later. Right now we have visitors," Samui said and Zabuza got to his feet.
"Everyone in position!" Zabuza yelled and immediately people were scrambling through the deck of the ship.
"Suiton: Kirigakure No Jutsu," Zabuza said and a mist covered their entire ship. The enemy wouldn't know what hit them. Anko got to her feet and quickly saw the land beginning to form. She grinned like mad as she went through her handsigns.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu," Anko yelled sending a massive fireball through the mist towards her enemies. This was a surprise attack.
The enemy waited near the shorelines of the village as they saw something orange in the distance. They all narrowed their eyes as the incoming fireball got bigger. They all gasped before someone yelled.
"Fireball," he yelled and everyone backed up. The fireball exploded on the ground as the war bells rang through the village. All the shinobi and kunoichi tensed as they saw a large boat enter. They all saw Zabuza and Anko appear as the two jonin level shinobi grinned as they jumped down.
"Charge!" Zabuza yelled and immediately a crowd of rebels come for the ship and jumped down. Soon the front lines exploded in a sound of metal clashing and explosions.
"Yagura-sama they are here," someone said and the Sanbi jinchuuriki got up from his seat. He walked out of his office. He quickly walked through the halls of the Mizukage Mansion and entered a room. It was filled with water and platforms. He quickly entered it and sat on the middle platform.
"Don't keep me waiting. I'll kill you and put a stop to this useless revolt once n' for all," Yagura said as he waited for Mei and Naruto to arrive.
Speaking of those two, Naruto and Mei heard the explosion on the field and turned to Chojuro.
"It's time Chojuro let's go," Mei told him and the young swordsman nodded.
"I'll follow you anywhere Mei-sama," Chojuro said to her and Mei nodded. She turned to Naruto who gave a thumbs up that he was ready also.
"Alright I hope you can swim Naruto-san," Mei said as she jumped off the edge. Naruto and Chojuro nodded to each other as they jumped off also and followed after Mei into the water.
The battlefield was an nothing short of amazing. The sounds of people screaming with their war cries fill the air as Zabuza kicked a man away from him. He quickly grinned as he placed his sword on his shoulders.
"You're not worth our time. Gaki, get ready," Zabuza said making Karui and Omoi jump off the ship. They quickly hit the ground and entered into the fighting. Karui quickly dodged a blade strike as she slashed at a Kiri ninja. He quickly went down while Omoi did the same. The two watched each other's back as they turned to each other.
"Don't die idiot," Karui told him and Omoi narrowed his eyes at her.
"If I died then who would watch after you loud mouth," He asked as they quickly got into the fighting. Karui kicked one man away from her as she dodged two kunai strikes to the next. She quickly jumped on Omoi's shoulder as he sent her into the air. Karui was above everyone as she narrowed her eyes.
"I don't know the repercussions of trying it, but I will. I hope I can control it," Karui said as she brought her sword back she quickly charged it with Raiton chakra, but she gasped when the lightning got bigger before she turned back to the scared shinobi.
"Sanda Bolto( Thunderbolt)" Karui yelled as she slashed at the ground immediately the lightning flared around the war field until it caused a large explosion. Karui covered her eyes while she landed on the ground. Soon the people opened their eyes only to gasp at the largest slash across the ground that they had ever seen. Some looked at Karui in awe while the redhead was in shock herself. She quickly ran back into the fight and it all continued.
"I couldn't control it, but that was the biggest slash I ever made in my life," Karui said to herself in thought as the fighting roared through the land.
With Samui and Anko
The jonin and chunin duo were currently surrounded by shinobi as they had their backs to each other.
"Ready to have some fun?" Anko asked while Samui took out her tanto while glaring at her targets.
"Depends on what you mean by fun, but alright," Samui said as she grabbed Anko's arm. Samui closed her eyes before sending Anko into the air. The jonin grinned as she did her handsigns.
"Katon: Karyuso Endan( Fire Release: Dragon Flame Burial Bullet)," Anko yelled as she twisted her body. She sent the raining fire down on everyone as some people dodged while others blocked it with their suiton techniques. Samui saw a small chance and decided to test her power again. She held out her hand and immediately the water of the Kiri shinobi went against them as it quickly wrapped them inside making them struggle. Samui narrowed her eyes as she looked closed her eyes.
"Mizu Bakudan( Water Explosion)," She yelled as the water pressure crushed those inside. Samui dropped her hand and turned around. She saw more people coming as she took out her tanto. She parried one person's blow from her face as she twisted her body. She sidekicked the man in the back making him ache in pain.
"Oppressing others because you fear their power. Not cool," Samui said while Anko could agree with her.
"Hey Samui, you know some good suiton techniques," Anko said as she jumped over one man. Samui narrowed her eyes as she didn't have the heart to say that it was by luck. She could naturally feel the water fighting against her as she had tried to maintain control. It seems even a large amount of control was to be given. She knew that much already.
"Thank you I guess," Samui said as they continued to fight.
With Mei, Naruto and Chojuro
The three entered on one side of the land and quickly emerged. They didn't see any enemies around as Mei got out of the water. Naruto followed and then did Chojuro.
"Alright let's go. We can't falter," Chojuro said and the two nodded as they ran off towards the Mizukage Mansion. The three entered a thick forested area before Chojuro stopped.
"You guys go ahead. I'll stay here and guard your way," Chojuro said making Naruto and Mei understand what he meant. They quickly ran off while a man came from behind a tree.
"So you noticed me huh?" the man asked and Chojuro narrowed his eyes.
"How could I forget you...sensei? You're the one who taught me what I know," Chojuro said while the man nodded.
"That's right, but it seems you need to be taught a lesson on who to serve. I'll teach you right now," the man told him and Chojuro took out his sword.
"Then let's go. You're not passing through here," he responded as the blue haired boy clashed with his old sensei.
Mei and Naruto ran through the trees as they came up to the Mizukage Mansion. People must've been focused on the fight up north so they didn't notice them. There were about a dozen Kiri shinobi as Naruto sighed.
"Anyway of getting through that?" He asked and Mei shook her head. Naruto sighed with a simple nod as he held his head down. He looked at his hands for a second while Mei was wondering what was wrong.
"Naruto-san if you have something then please use it. I won't stop you," Mei told him and Naruto sighed with a nod.
"Hold back. Please hold back," Naruto said as he did his handsigns.
"Fuuton: Kazeryu no Jutsu( Wind Release: Wind Dragon Jutsu)," Naruto yelled as he sent a fierce wind towards his targets. Naruto widened his eyes when he saw the wind get bigger in size as it slammed into the bodies of the shinobi knocking them into the building behind them. Naruto grimaced as he rubbed the back of his head while Mei widened her eyes.
"Don't you think you overdid it a little?" she asked as she wondered if Naruto was the type to go all-out even if he didn't have to.
"I tried. I really tried, but I've got no control over this," Naruto thought to himself as he jumped down along with Mei. The two quickly stopped just outside the mansion while Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"This is too easy. Don't you think so Mei-san?" Naruto asked and the soon to be Mizukage nodded in agreement.
"I agree with you. No one is here except those dozen. This isn't as simple as we're making it," she said and Naruto agreed with her. He looked into the building and looked around.
"What are you thinking?" She asked and Naruto narrowed his eyes. He sighed as he saw the fires just north of the Mizukage Mansion where all the real fighting was going on. He looked down at the ground before turning to Mei.
"I think that we're walking into a trap and if we don't do something then we'll die," Naruto said and Mei agreed on that part with him.
"So what do you think we should do?" She asked and Naruto looked up at the top of the Mansion. He narrowed his eyes then looked towards the left at a wall circling the village of Kiri.
"Come on. Let's not go this way. It's too obvious and with what I did they will notice soon enough. Come on and stay close to me," Naruto said as Mei hugged him with a smile. The blonde blushed as he turned to her in confusion.
"You said stay close so I am," She said with a giggle while Naruto paled. He gulped and scratched his cheek.
"Yugi-hime is going to kill me!" Naruto yelled out in his mind making Kyuubi laugh before he stepped away from Mei making her smile.
"W-Well anyway. Let's go. We'll go through another way. It's longer, but we'll avoid the traps if there are any," Naruto said as he sent chakra to his feet. He scaled the wall as did Mei. Naruto hoisted her up and the two looked over the village.
"Well are you ready?" Naruto asked and Mei nodded, but soon someone chuckled as he got to his feet.
"I can't believe someone saw through the elaborate trap. Oh well I'll just get my hands dirty and kill you both," he said while Mei narrowed her eyes. Naruto did also as he realized that they had a problem.
"Kaido Hinkaku, bodyguard to the Mizukage. Are you going to get in my way?" Mei asked as Kaido reached for his sword. Naruto narrowed his eyes as he grabbed his own.
"To my die I'll stand in your way," he said while Naruto stood forward.
"Then to your death I'm gonna send you got that?" Naruto asked as he charged at Kaido with the fate of Kiri on the line.
KG: People if you worry about Team Samui's power then don't. They will be strong. A lot strong, but they will need lots of time to master their elements. It's not something you just learn to do. It's not that simple at least to me it shouldn't be or it would ruin the hard work aspect for the team. They will have limitation even with their powers. They aren't godlike and probably won't be. They'll be powerful, but I know they will face powerful opponents who can still contend with them. That's all. Laterz.
