The green haired girl watched as Naruto finished the last remains of her sandwich. She gasped and trembled with her stomach growling. Naruto smacked his lips while wiping some of the remaining hot sauce from his lips. He rubbed his stomach easily while the girl looked at her plate only seeing the crumbs of her sandwich.
"Ahhh that sure was good," Naruto said before he noticed the girl growled. She quickly lunged for Naruto faster than he could follow and grabbed his collar. She shook him in earnest and seethed.
"Give it back," she said and Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"What?" Naruto asked and the girl tightened her hold on his collar before the blonde felt the immense KI from her body as she slammed him into the wall.
"Give back my sandwich you jabroni!" she shouted and Naruto sweatdropped. He tilted his head to the side of what that word could possibly mean.
"What's a...jabroni?" Naruto asked and the girl sighed before dropping the blonde to the ground. She walked back to her table and sat in a rusty chair looking at her empty plate. Her stomach growled while she sobbed.
"I was saving that sandwich for today. It was meant for me, not you. Dammit, what do you want? I told you to leave," she said and Naruto chuckled sheepishly.
"Oh is that what it was? I thought you had more. Don't you have more food?" Naruto asked and the girl snorted while flicking her green hair.
"No I don't. That was my last ration of anything to eat. I don't have that much money and now I don't know when I'll get some more," she said and instantly Naruto frowned. He suddenly felt bad for what he did and scratched his cheek.
"Oh ummm I'm sorry about that. Tell you what, since this is my fault then I'll treat you out to something. Anything you want to eat," Naruto said and the girl turned her eyes to him. She narrowed them dangerously looking for any hint of a lie in Naruto's eyes, but she didn't find a single one and sighed.
"I say take him up on his offer girl. We need sustenance. In case you've forgotten, but I need to eat also," the being said and the girl sighed with a hesitant nod. She walked over to Naruto and pushed her finger to his chest.
"Fine. I'll take you up on that offer. Just let me get changed and we can leave. Anything I want to eat right?" she asked and Naruto took out his wallet with a fox keychain. He opened it and saw the large number of bills and coins while smiling.
"Yeah anything you want, but I really would like you to tell me about this Taki training camp," Naruto said and the girl sighed. She brushed a hand through her green hair and grumbled. This just wasn't the day for her in the least, but she could be happy in the fact that she would get a real meal instead of a simple sandwich.
"Alright fine then. Let's just hurry the hell up before I kick your jabroni ass," she said going into her room and closing the door. Meanwhile, Naruto sat on a lumpy couch and grumbled.
"Who lives like this?" The blonde wondered as he decided that the couch was too uncomfortable to sit in. He stood to his feet and merely leaned against the wall. He held out his hand and a small wind gathered around in his palm. He let it glow brightly from condensing it making it give a small nice glow. He looked up and closed his eyes.
"Alright let's go," the female said and Naruto opened his eyes to see that she didn't change her attire, but merely combed her hair and didn't have her cylindrical object with her.
Naruto effortlessly nodded his head and opened the door for the girl. She gave him some thanks and Naruto smiled while the two walked off towards Taki though he could tell that the female Taki shinobi was straggling like she was prolonging the walk. It made Naruto narrow his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
The silence seemed to cover the entire forest for them both before the two came to hear people bustling around like normal. Naruto sighed in relief and walked forward a little more. He couldn't wait to see what restaurant might please the girl, but he turned his head and he noticed that she wasn't next to him. He looked back and saw that she was still at the edge looking at the people with a slight frown. Naruto narrowed his eyes and sighed walking back.
"What's wrong?" he asked and she snorted.
"I don't do good with people," she said and Naruto narrowed his eyes to her words, but his next act surprised her as he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the crowd. The girl gasped at his strong grip while the two breezed through the crowds.
"Come on. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you," Naruto promised and the girl widened her eyes before looking away in a small blush, but it also didn't take Naruto long to know that they were being watched. He saw people scowling at the girl next to him and he narrowed his eyes.
"They're glaring at her. Just like Konoha did to me. Glares of hate and death. Wait, is she a-,"
Naruto's thoughts were cut off when she stopped. He stopped with her and she pointed to a simple restaurant. The blonde nodded and took her inside. They walked inside and the waiter growled.
"Good morning sir how might I help- oh it's you!" he said staring at the girl who flinched from his stare. She tried not to match her eyes to his own and she was startled when Naruto moved in front of her blocking the man.
"Yeah it's me. Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. Now would you mind getting me a table with the lovely lady before I send your candy ass through the ceiling for glaring at her?" Naruto asked and she widened her eyes while the waiter gulped. He lightly snorted while Naruto glared. He balled his fists and the entire restaurant was brought into a strong breeze knocking over plates, cup and other things while people complained.
"Ahhh alright. R-Right this way sir," he said and the wind stopped. The girl widened her eyes while her companion took a calculative thinking pose.
"Wow, that was amazing. I didn't even sense a drop in his chakra. Girl, you probably just hit the gold mine with this one," she said and the girl gasped.
"He just balled his fist and the wind moved violently through the place. Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, what are you?" she wondered to herself before they both sat at a table. The girl gulped and looked at Naruto who was smiling at her. She wasn't used to such an expression and narrowed her eyes.
"What?" she asked and Naruto snapped out of his stupor.
"They're waiting for you to order," he said and she took up a hold of the menu. She looked it over and everything sounded good.
"Yeah I'll have one of these, two of those, three of these things and place get more a drink. Then I'd like to do the main course," she said smiling and Naruto sweatdropped.
"Yep, I'm screwed," Naruto thought before he saw the girl rubbing her hands in a sinister way. Oh yeah, this was payback for his jabroni ass eating her sandwich and she was going to make it known while getting her favorite foods in her mouth.
With the rest of Team Yugito
Everyone was gathered around the room minus Naruto looking out the window. Karui sighed and brushed a hand through her hair.
"I don't like it. We have absolutely no idea what's going on here. This thing is set to start tomorrow for Kami's sake. We're going in completely blind just like everyone else. Honestly I'm glad that otouto proposed that little alliance between us. We'd be able to get a lot more done than this time," Karui suddenly said while Omoi looked out also.
"Speaking of Naruto, anyone know where he is?" The earth master asked while the other elements shrugged their shoulders. Samui leaned against the wall and folded her arms.
"He'll arrive. He's never late for anything and he knows the importance of the mission," Samui said making the others nod. Yugito leaned back into the bed and yawned lightly while looking at the ceiling. Her eyes seemed to really be focused on something, but no one knew what. Yugito closed her eyes and turned her head to the training center outside from the window.
"There is a strange heat over there. It's not noticeable, but very warm especially to me. I can feel it perfectly. Don't let your guard down tomorrow. Now if you don't mind I'm going to go and find Naruto-kun," Yugito said while Omoi raised an eyebrow.
"Why?" he asked and Yugito smiled.
"Well someone has to be my pillow and who better than my boyfriend right?" Yugito asked before vanishing out of sight in a fire shunshin. Samui, Karui and Omoi all glanced at each other before shrugging their shoulders. It would be tomorrow that they would need to get to work.
With Team Hebi
Sasuke and his team glided through the crowd of people and quickly came up to a small inn. Nothing too fancy to draw any suspicion to them.
"Karin do you sense any shinobi on our location?" Sasuke asked and Karin closed her eyes for a few seconds. She immediately tried to sense anyone with a Taki headband and after sensing she shook her head.
"No Sasuke-kun. All annoyance have been taken care of," Karin said and the Uchiha closed his eyes before nodding. The five walked into the small inn and Sasuke registered the five of them for the training camp.
"I never thought that you'd be with us Kimimaro. Tired of being Orochimaru's lapdog?" Suigetsu asked only to receive a sharp bone to his face. He narrowed his eyes only to meet Kimimaro's own intense glare.
"Don't insult Orochimaru-sama. I will not tolerate it at all. I have only come because Orochimaru-sama insisted that I join this little group. I do not care about your goals in the least," Kimimaro said and Suigetsu winced before Sasuke came between the two of them.
"That's enough. Both of you. We have a busy day tomorrow and I don't need those who are going to slow me down. Don't make me regret picking you to be a part of this squad," Sasuke said to them both. Kimimaro and Suigetsu glanced at each other, but nodded and backed away while people went to their separate rooms. Sasuke sighed and closed his eyes before lying on his bed with one next to Juugo. Karin had a room to herself while Kimimaro and Suigetsu had the other one. Sasuke didn't know how long they would be staying, but he didn't have the time to wait since he had more important shit to do that involved his brother. He just knew that after this he would be leaving Orochimaru and Kabuto behind to settle things once and for all.
Back with Naruto
The blonde widened his eyes while plate after plate was being piled upon by the girl. She ate and ate like it was of no consequence to her. She took down a plate of noodles was was now working on some spring rolls. She ate this food like Naruto ate ramen. He was sure that she probably wasn't even chewing some of it only just swallowing it whole. The girl chomped on her food and then drank some juice to quench her thirst.
"Ahh that was good. I need MORE JABRONI!" she called out while the staff were widening their eyes. She gave a cheeky smile, but it soon turned to an expression of confusion when she turned her head to see Naruto laughing at her. She didn't know why, but this got a blush out of her while she looked at ten or fifteen plates of food before snorting.
"I haven't even for quite a while. I deserve this," she said and Naruto merely nodded his head to her words before his expression turned serious. He placed his hand on the table and the girl narrowed her eyes. She took another bite of food and swallowed it knowing that the mood had been changed. Now was the time to talk. The female sighed and nodded.
"Alright go with your questions," she said and Naruto nodded his head.
"Alright then. First what is your name?" Naruto asked and the girl sipped some juice in her glass before placing it down. She coughed and straightened up making Naruto wonder where this new attitude was coming from.
"My name is Fu. I don't have a surname. I leave in the outer ring of the village in the forest as you could guess," she said and Naruto nodded his head. He also thought to his next question.
"Are you a jinchuuriki?" he asked deciding to cut to the chase and not move around it. He immediately noticed Fu tremble with her glass in her hands. She shuddered slightly and Naruto widened his eyes.
"Which one?" he asked seeing as how her reaction already got his answer. Fu closed her eyes and placed her glass down. She'd rather tell his candy ass off, but seeing as how if she did then he might leave with her to this bill and she'd rather not have that.
"Seven. Is that enough for you? Are you going to hate me? Insult me? Berate me? What else could you want to do?" she asked expecting something, but what she got wasn't what she was expecting. She saw him laughing. He was laughing so hard that tears were falling down his face. That expression totally baffled Fu to the utmost along with her bijuu, Nanabi.
"Hmm out of all the expression I could've foreseen, that wasn't one of them. He's the first one to actually laugh at our condition. An odd one this boy is," Nanabi said and Fu nodded in agreement with her while Naruto calmed down. He sighed and lightly chuckled a little more.
"Sorry, but I find it funny. Nice to meet you Miss Seven. I'm Mr. Nine," Naruto said and Fu widened her eyes. Nanabi did the same. Another jinchuuriki was right in front of her eyes. The host of the most powerful of them all. Fu nearly dropped her glass while Naruto smiled.
"So that's why you're so mean," Naruto said and Fu snorted. She got over her surprise and coughed.
"Yeah well umm are you seriously a jinchuuriki also?" Fu asked and Naruto nodded his head with a smile. He quickly gave Fu a thumbs up while she widened her eyes. She bit her lip and the tense silence came over the two.
"Well if you are then you don't mind me testing you," Fu said and Naruto seemed more than interested. He allowed her to say what she wanted and Fu took some more food into her mouth. She gulped it down quickly while Naruto smiled.
"Go for it. What must I do?" Naruto asked and Fu smirked. She looked at the large tent outside that would host the training camp.
"Simple, just survive this camp and I'll be convinced," Fu said and Naruto narrowed his eyes at her way of say that. He didn't know why, but he could fell the ominous meaning in her words. He wanted to ask her what she meant, but Fu coughed which told them to get back on point while Naruto nodded. He closed his eyes and looked out the window.
"Is that why you live in such a crappy place and didn't have any money or food? Because people treat you the same way they treated me?" Naruto asked and Fu nodded her head while the blonde balled his fists. He wasn't about to let his anger get over him like some amateur, but that didn't mean that it couldn't piss him off.
"Yeah those damn jabronis down know who they're messing with. One of these days I'll get stronger and then I'll go to the leader of this damn village and take a kunai, sharpen it, make it nice and shiny, turn it sideways and-,"
"SHOVE IT RIGHT UP HIS CANDY ASS!" Naruto interrupted with a smile while Fu pointed.
"Ah ah ah ah ah. Did you just?"
She gasped and Nanabi chuckled at the blonde's action while Fu smiled sweetly. Almost too sweetly. She grabbed Naruto's collar over the table and brought him close.
"Never and FU MEANS NEVER steal her catchphrases. Got that you jabroni?" Fu asked and Naruto rolled his eyes. He looked at her impassively before snickering.
"Yeah I'd actually like to hear your thoughts. What's a jabroni?" Naruto asked her tilting his head to the side while Fu smiled.
"Simple, a jabroni is-,"
"It doesn't matter what it is!" Naruto shouted back to her and Fu widened her eyes. She gaped like a fish out of water at the blonde Kumo shinobi before she bit her lower lip. She could hear Nanabi in her mind laughing at the funny conversation between the two and before long Fu noticed Naruto chuckling and she couldn't help, but do it also. They continued to laugh despite the staff's confusion, but since they weren't eating anything anymore, Naruto and Fu got to their feet and the blonde paid for all the food. They walked out of the restaurant while Fu chuckled.
"You're not so bad. I was wrong about you," Fu said and Naruto waved her off.
"Thank ya, thank ya very much dattebayo," Naruto responded to her and Fu snickered while walking off.
"I'll see you tomorrow. Don't be late. Those who are late don't come back," Fu said and disappeared into the crowd while Naruto sighed. That was the most interesting conversation that he'd ever had with anyone other than his girlfriends. Oh speaking of his blonde girlfriend, it was late and he had to start getting back since she always hated sleeping without him.
"Naruto-kun," Yugito called making the blonde turn around. He saw Yugito coming for him and he smiled with a slight wave.
"Yugito-chan, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked and the female smiled while tapping her foot on the ground impatiently. She glared at Naruto before grabbing his arm and dragging him back to the hotel.
"What? What did I do?" the blonde asked in all confusion while people watching the older blonde woman drag the younger one away. Murmurs were going about them that a sister was scolding her brother for the stupid stuff that he did while Yugito turned her head to Naruto.
"Oh Naruto-kun, you seem to have forgotten that during the night you are my pillow. I have not given any exceptions to such a rule and I'd like it if you remembered that as well. I am your girlfriend after all," Yugito said and Naruto sighed while he rolled his eyes. Bossy girlfriends really were the worst. How anyone managed to put up with them was anyone's guess in the most, but they would need their sleep since their 'training' would begin tomorrow.
Tomorrow Morning
Team Yugito, Maki, Kurotsuchi, Sakura, Sai, Haku and Chojuro were all inside the tent and the only thing that they could say was this. It was freakin' darker than hell itself. Naruto groaned to himself and the other people who were there sighed as well.
"Great, looks like we're stuck," Naruto said and Karui snorted. The challenge hadn't even begun yet, but she could tell that plenty of people were tense. It would be weird if they weren't tense. Even the Taki shinobi were concerned, but everyone decided to take it sparingly.
"No, what was your first clue baka?" Sakura asked and Naruto's hair shadowed his eyes before he snickered.
"Oh shut up loudmouth," Naruto told her and Sakura 'hmphed-ed' while turning her head to the left, but the two didn't fight as the lights came on fast. Naruto took the opportunity to look around the room full of people moving and shoving each other. He looked left and right to see people from all no name countries who were excited about the event, but Team Yugito were the only people from Kumo. Same could be said for Kurotsuchi, Maki, Haku and Chojuro who were from their respective villages as well as Sakura and Sai. It seemed that the Great Nations were more on the edge than the others, but then again their had ever reason to be and what not.
Everyone soon watched as a platform came from the center of the ring in front of them and soon a man came up with a mic in his hands. Loudspeakers were across the entire tent and Naruto took note of them all. He turned to his left and noticed a mop of green hair. He smiled and knew that Fu was in the group as well and he even saw who he suspected was Sasuke Uchiha in a group of others. The blonde narrowed his eyes and told his teammates.
"Omoi can you check that guy back there? I think it might be Sasuke," Naruto said and everyone in his group tensed as they turned around. Omoi looked over his shoulder and nodded his head. He quickly did a single handsign and covered his left eye.
Next to Sasuke, on the ground of earth was an eye that was looking at him, but he didn't see it. The eye moved to the left and right looking at Uchiha Sasuke and his teammates. A pale white male teenager, a redhead female, one last guy who had a big sword on his back and the last one was talking to some birds before the eye closed and dissolved into the ground.
Omoi uncovered his left and opened it. Over the two years, Omoi learned that having the power of earth that if he channeled his chakra from one part of his body into he ground then he could make that body part appear anywhere that he wanted it to. He didn't even want to go into the number of times that he tried and failed at this.
"Naruto's right. I can see Uchiha Sasuke-san. He's with his own team of four members plus him. Should we inform Sakura and Sai?" Omoi asked while the teens turned to Yugito who was busy thinking it over. She closed her eyes and shook her head.
"Let's play it safe and make it so that we don't get noticed. He'll see us sometime and when he does then Sakura will see him. After that, whatever Konoha decides is up to them," Yugito told them and everyone nodded then decided to keep secret from the rest of everyone else.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, Shinobi and Kunoichi, people of all nations, to Taki's training center. Are you tired of being where you are? Do you want to get stronger in the hopes of even getting into your Anbu units? Well we here will make that happen for you," the announcer said and some people cheered while Sai smiled.
"He's using such a long mic. I wonder if it's to compensate for something else," Sai said while Sakura sighed and shook her head. Team Yugito, Maki and Kurotsuchi, took an unconscious step to the right away from Sai while the announcer continued.
"Is that right? You want to get stronger? Very well then, you will all receive a specially made wristband," he said and in that moment people started passing out wristbands to people. Sasuke took one and so did his team. Team Yugito took theirs, Fu took her own, Haku and Chojuro took theirs, Maki and Kurotsuchi lastly took theirs also. Everyone received one and people looked at them in wonder and amazement while the announcer asked for their attention.
"Those bands are called weight bands. Think of them as gravity seals, but not of the same quality. Now then, those will be your best friends. They will record your progress and will add weight for ever milestone that you achieve. It will start you off easy. There are five stages. 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, then 24x each making it heavier than the last. If you managed to surpass the fifth stage then the braces will fall off and all the weight coming on you will be achieved. You will be fascinated by your new speed. Now then people please pair off and start your stretches then we'll get started with some spars," he said/explained everything. Naruto narrowed his eyes and turned to see Fu who was snarling at her village's trickery, but she couldn't tell anyone. She didn't have any proof and she was sure that the other villages were thinking the same thing.
"Yugito-sensei, wanna pair up?" Karui asked looking at the older blonde. Yugito turned to Naruto who merely smiled and nodded his head. Taking his consideration, Yugito paired up with Karui and Samui paired with Omoi. Naruto smiled and walked up to the Nanabi jinchuuriki.
"Wanna pair up?" Naruto asked and Fu shrugged her shoulders before nodding her head. She and Naruto went from the group while others paired. Maki paired with Kurotsuchi, Sakura paired with Sai and Haku with Chojuro.
Sasuke paired off with Kimimaro, Karin with Suigetsu much to both of their arguments, but Sasuke's orders were to be followed and so they put up with it. Juugo paired with some shinobi as well. Soon everyone was doing their stretches with their partners.
"So what's the deal with these bands?" Naruto asked while pushing Fu to the ground while she stretched her body.
"Who knows, but I know that jabroni is lying. At least I know he's telling the truth about the bands. They are weighted bands, but not many people can handle 24x their weight," Fu said and Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"It's not 24x the Earth's gravity?" he asked and Fu looked at him incredulously like, or more like he was insane.
"If it was that then no one, not even you or me could do it. That would kill us," Fu said and Naruto scratched his cheek while nodding his head to her word before looking at the ceiling.
"But Kyuubi-chan's realm was two times more than ours. We stayed their for two years and such while we took intense training. I'm still alive," Naruto thought to himself before Fu got to her feet and stretched Naruto's arms and legs. The blonde groaned slightly while Fu chuckled. She could honestly say that this was the most fun she'd ever had in a while.
"Also thank you," Fu said while Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"For what?" he asked her and Fu smiled as she rummaged in her pockets while using her elbows on Naruto's back.
"For the 2000 yen money that you gave me. I was able to finally get some much needed supplies. Should help me for the next few days," Fu said and Naruto snickered. Oh if only she knew, but he wouldn't say anything.
"No problem," he said as everyone continued to stretch.
After about an hour of time, people were prepared and the announcer came back smiling. He held up his mic and coughed to clear his voice.
"Have you warmed up? Good. We will know be holding sparring matches. The point to these isn't to win, but to get used to your opponents style and better yourself. Please put on your bands," he said and everyone did so. Naruto placed his on and watched it click and light up. On the front it said '2x' and instantly Naruto cursed as he felt his body grow tighter. It was only natural because in addition to two times his body weight then he also had the gravity seals around his body and his clothes. So this was quite heavy for him.
"Wow I know it must be a lot, but don't let it get to you," Fu said not really knowing the full reason as to why the blonde was struggling so much. He turned to see Sakura and Sai not really caring. Maki seemed more obvious along with Kurotsuchi. Yugito, Karui, Samui and Omoi were taking it in strides. They had seals on also, but none as heavy as Naruto and Yugito. It would be a bit more of a strain on them.
"Well then now that the seals, I-I'm mean bands are in place we shall commence. Remember to train your mind and your body. The stage in front of you will be set in four different areas making it change. The Forest, Earth, Normal, and in Lava," he said and people looked at him like he was insane, but no one said anything to correct him as he opened up a notepad.
"Hmm let's see. Who should fight first?" the man said looking through the notepad of all the people. He looked underneath the list, but if one looked closely then he was smiling evilly at three names. The three jinchuuriki came to join. Yugito Nii, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, and Fu. He couldn't wait to have his fun with those three. After all, those powerhouses would be needed for his objective. Oh boy was he lucky or was he?
"Ahem, Kumo's Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze and Oto's Kimimaro Kaguya," he announced some people widened their eyes to the name Namikaze and the blonde sighed. His team smiled and so did his other friends.
"Looks like you're the lucky one Kimimaro," Suigetsu said while Sasuke narrowed his eyes into a scowl. So the blonde was here as well. It wouldn't be hard to imagine after all. No not all. It actually made more sense that he arrived than not.
"Kimimaro, watch the dobe. He's going to be strong. When I met him during the Kiri war he was still powerful. Don't underestimate him," Sasuke said and Kimimaro nodded walking forward. The blonde also walked forward while folding his arms and smiling. Kimimaro acknowledged his opponent and nodded while Naruto waved. The both stood next to the announcer and he coughed.
"Do any of you have anything to say to the other?" he asked and Kimimaro spoke into the mic.
"I hope we have a good fight I guess," he said and the man then turned to Naruto. The blonde did the most unexpected thing and took the mic from the announcer's hand and smirked.
"FINALLY! Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze has return to TAAAAAAAAAAA- ah it's doesn't matter. Nice to meet you jabroni. I hope we have fun dattebayo," Naruto said while turning back to Fu who was widening her eyes and her mouth hanging. Kimimaro didn't give the blonde a response and shrugged his shoulders while the announcer smiled.
"Umm Uzumaki-Namikaze-san may I please have the-,"
"Know your role and shut your mouth!" Naruto interrupted before the announcer piped down. The blonde cleared his thought and smiled.
"But still I hope to have my fun also Kimimaro-san. Let's improve for both of our villages," Naruto said and Kimimaro agreed with him completely while the announcer turn to Kimimaro.
"Umm mind telling us something about yourself?" he asked and Kimimaro shook his head that he didn't have anything before the announcer when, reluctantly, back to Naruto.
"How about you?" he asked holding the mic to Naruto and the blonde smiled as he closed his eyes. People remained silent for a little while as the blonde grinned. He opened his eyes and yelled.
"Using this new word I learned yesterday, I'm the jabroni-beating, pie-eating, LALALALA, power shocking, girlfriend loving, eye blazing, master of wind, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze," the blonde shouted and most people sweatdropped, but they also laughed and cheered as they found Naruto's attitude to be refreshing.
"What's a jabroni?" the announcer asked while Naruto smiled.
"It doesn't matter what it is!" Naruto shouted before turning back to Kimimaro who was still unmoving. What? The blonde liked to have fun and mimic others. Plus the word 'jabroni' was too much fun not to use thanks to Fu. How could he not have his fun.
"Umm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze everyone," the announcer said and people cheered for the blonde while Naruto smiled.
"Satisfied?" Kimimaro asked and Naruto nodded.
"That I am dattebayo. Ready to get started?" Naruto asked and Kimimaro nodded his head. The blonde stood across from the Kaguya and the two glared at each other while the announcer raised his hand.
"Begin," he shouted and jumped back.
Kimimaro quickly charged at Naruto while the blonde kept his arms folded. Everyone widened their eyes at Kimimaro's speed even with 2x his body weight holding him down. He appeared in front of Naruto and let out a punch. He hit something hard and made contact, but everyone was surprised when it wasn't Naruto's face that he hit. No, it was just a wall of wind that got in his way. Naruto grinned and Kimimaro backflipped away.
"What did I hit?" he wondered before charging back at Naruto again. The blonde closed his eyes and everyone tensed as Kimimaro let out his hand.
"Tenshi Sendan( Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets)," Kimimaro yelled sending five bone bullets towards Naruto. The blonde slightly opened his eyes to see the shots coming for him before he raised his hand. Immediately the wind resistance between the bone bullets and Naruto became too much and brought them off course and into the stands behind him. People gasped and decided to move from behind Naruto for fear of getting hit.
"You aren't attacking," Kimimaro said to him and Naruto merely smiled.
"Whoa, he hasn't even moved and yet he's blocking all of his opponents attacks. Who is he?" Fu wondered before Karui and Omoi sighed.
"Seriously he's showing off too much. You'd think he'd just dodge and be done with it," Karui said leaning back. Yugito chuckled to her and nodded while Samui continued to watch.
Sasuke and the others were at least amazed that Kimimaro still hadn't landed a hit on the blonde. They were even more surprised when his attack missed the blonde. It's like something was wrong with him.
"Sasuke did that Naruto guy do anything?" Suigetsu asked and Sasuke shook his head. He didn't see the blonde chakra move to any specific point. He didn't so much as move except raise his hand.
"I didn't see anything. I just know that either Kimimaro's on an off day or that dobe just moved too fast for even my sharingan to see," Sasuke said while Kimimaro narrowed his eyes. He glared at Naruto and the blonde allowed his hands to drop to his sides. Kimimaro got to the defensive and everyone perked up.
"Yeah I wouldn't be able to hit you this way. Hmm I know the perfect way to do this. Situation C, removing the third seal. Keep power unrestricted until target has been neutralized," Naruto said channeling Kyuubi's chakra into his eyes making them slits. Everyone gulped at what he could mean before they saw the seal on Naruto's shoulder glow.
"Whoa, he's releasing the first stage already. He must be serious," Omoi said and Samui glared while everyone immediately noticed the change. The winds picked up making everyone looked around in awe.
Kimimaro turned back to Naruto who was smiling like a cheeky bastard as he cleared his throat.
"Here. I. Come," Naruto said and dashed for Kimimaro. Everyone widened their eyes as Kimimaro didn't have the time to rebound from a kick to the chest. He coughed and was sent flying with extreme force across the platform. Naruto grinned like mad and retracted his foot. Kimimaro backflipped and cushioned the blow to his chest. He gasped and felt his heart quicken. Sasuke's sharingan was working overtime to try and analyze that, but he could see that Naruto wasn't using chakra or if he was then it must be replenishing itself. It was amazing.
"Wow, Naruto-san has improved. He wasn't this fast," Sai said and Sakura snorted. She was faster than that without her gravity seals on and so was Sai. That couldn't be all there was to Naruto or this would've been a big waste of time to even challenge him.
"But what was that he called it? Situation C? Removing the first stage seals? What did he mean?" Sakura asked turning her head only to see Yugito and Karui smiling while Samui and Omoi continued to watch their little brother and friend have his fun. Kurotsuchi and Maki also were shocked while the latter smiled.
"He might be a weird friend, but he's definitely no slacker," Maki said in her thoughts while Kimimaro got to his feet.
"That was an impressive kick Uzumaki-san," Kimimaro said and Naruto smiled.
"Glad you liked it, cause I won't be slacking," Naruto said and Kimimaro nodded his head to the blonde's words while he flicked his wrist and hand immediately a bone sword came into his hands while he took a stance.
"Tsubaki no Mai( Dance of Camellia)," he said and the blonde raised an eyebrow.
Naruto watched Kimimaro's stance and it didn't know what it might do, but live and learn the blonde figured. He quickly threw a kunai at Kimimaro and the bone user easily dodged it, but he failed to see in front of him that Naruto disappeared in a yellow flash. He appeared behind Kimimaro in the air and held out his hand. Kimimaro widened his eyes and so did everyone else at the use of the Hiraishin as a blue sphere appeared in Naruto's hand. Wind surrounded it slightly making it half-white/half-blue before he slammed it into Kimimaro's back.
"Fuuton: Rasengan( Wind Release: Spiraling Sphere)," Naruto shouted as Kimimaro felt the ball rip away at his body before sending him into the ground with a loud crash. People were on the edge of their seats while Naruto dropped to the ground. Kimimaro coughed and tried to get to his feet as best he could while Naruto grinned.
"We're done here," Naruto said and Kimimaro narrowed his eyes.
"How do you figure?" He asked and he immediately regretted it as he felt a sharp piece of metal to his neck.
"Because I've already marked you," Naruto said from behind him as the blonde moved faster than anyone could see. Kimimaro narrowed his eyes to the blonde while Naruto smiled. The bone user was in no position to make a move. Somewhere in that last move was the Hiraishin seal formula and Naruto could teleport to him at any point in time until that seal dispersed. Yeah Naruto still remembered that he sacrificed a portion of his chakra to simply go into continuous Hiraishin seal formation so that he could simply touch people and be able to teleport to them. Kimimaro was caught.
"I surrender," Kimimaro said and Naruto smiled before he heard a beeping sounds he looked to his wrist and the weight came to 4x. He smirked and immediately that felt heavier to him while he tried to ignore it and walk away.
"Great match. Is anyone else ready?" the announcer asked while people all jumped up.
Naruto sat back next to Fu and placed his hands over his shoulder.
"You're weird," she said and Naruto grinned with a nod of his head. He didn't really mind it at all actually. He was happy to have his fun. Fu then watched as the seal on Naruto's arm distorted slightly and then went back to normal showing that the power restriction was back in place.
"Yeah I suppose," he responded and Fu turned back to him before grabbing his collar.
"And I thought Fu told you. Never and FU MEANS NEVER steal Fu's catchphrases," she responded and Naruto chuckled sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head with an apology before he heard someone.
"Never use Fu's what now?" Yugito asked coming over to the two and Naruto smiled.
"Yugito-chan. Hey, this is Fu-chan. I met her yesterday. She's a jinchuuriki," Naruto said making Fu and Yugito widen their eyes. Yugito took a seat next to Naruto and smiled while shaking Fu's hand.
"Oh, another jinchuuriki like us huh? What number are you?" Yugito asked and if Fu was going to be surprised at something then that definitely wasn't it. Two jinchuuriki other than her in the same place. One held the strongest of them all and the other. Which one did she hold?
"Umm I hold number seven, the Nanabi," Fu said and Yugito nodded her head.
"Well I hold number two, The Nibi," Yugito said and Fu merely nodded her head before everyone heard the announcer's voice again. They turned their heads back to see him talking about something, but Naruto missed it at the last part and just came in to hear the next fight or as the announcer called it ' the prelims' though to what Naruto didn't know.
"Ahem next pre-conditioning fight. Kumo's Karui and Oto's Sasuke Uchiha," the announcer called and that announcement was effective on someone. Sakura widened her eyes as she saw Karui stand to her feet. Over in the other stand, Sasuke stood to his feet and Sakura gasped.
"Sasuke-kun," she said while the Uchiha rolled his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He came to the field and Karui did the same.
"Looks like the dobe has gotten stronger. He didn't leave you in the dust did he?" Sasuke asked and Karui chuckled while shaking her head.
"I doubt Otouto is that good, but he might already be more powerful than me. You interested in him?" Karui asked and Sasuke snorted.
"Not in the least," he said and Karui shrugged her shoulders.
"Yeah Karui-nee show that jabroni-teme who the queen of lightning is!" Naruto shouted while Fu gasped again. Karui chuckled and turned back to Sasuke.
"You heard him," Karui said taking out her sword and Sasuke snorted before he vanished from the spot he was and place his arm on Karui's shoulder. Everyone wondered what was going to happen, even Naruto as Karui narrowed her eyes.
"I remember back to the Kiri War. You called me a nuisance didn't you?" Sasuke asked and Karui smiled. She closed her eyes while the lightning in her earrings intensified slightly. Except by people she knew, Karui didn't like to be touched by anyone. Then again who wasn't like that?
"That's right I did call you that. You disobeyed the orders of your superior. What else would I call you?" Karui asked and Sasuke took his sword from its scabbard. He took it in a reverse grip and closed his eyes.
"It's you who will be the nuisance. You will die. I had contemplated killing you before leaving from Kiri, but I didn't. Know that no one will interrupt us, I shall correct that mistake," he said holding his sword high. Karui chuckled a drew her sword also. Both had their swords to each others backs and Karui narrowed her eyes.
"Did you enjoy the pedophile during your two years with him? Are you even more of an ass than before?" Karui asked while Sasuke kept an emotionless expression. The two brought their swords down to each other and people widened their eyes at the game of chicken. Sasuke frowned and Karui smiled. It was long before the two jumped back from each other, but Karui herself didn't get far as Sasuke grabbed her hand.
"Chidori Nagashi( Thousand Birds Current)," Sasuke shouted and everyone watched as the Uchiha's body lit up in lightning and shocked Karui. The girl gasped as her body was shocked to its core and most people winced at her torture, but people missed Karui's smile. The redhead grabbed Sasuke's wrists much to the Uchiha surprise and grinned.
"That felt good. Now it's my turn," Karui said as her Lightning seal glowed on her arm and Sasuke was suddenly pushed back across the platform in a surge of lightning while Karui smiled. She quickly vanished and appeared behind Sasuke and quickly kicked him into the air. Everyone widened their eyes before Karui disappeared again she appeared above Sasuke and smiled with an air of superiority.
"In the quotes of my otouto. 'Know your damn role and shut your damn mouth'," Karui said as she did a drop kick to Sasuke's stomach, but the Uchiha caught it with his hand and scowled.
"How about you just get out of my way?" Sasuke suggested and he threw Karui over him making him onto. The two headed for the ground and Sasuke did his own handsigns.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu," he yelled and Karui watched the fire close in on her form before she smiled. The lighting mistress quickly vanished out of sight and appeared towards the ground. She took out her sword and coated it entirely in Raiton chakra. She looked up at Sasuke who was still floating in the. The Uchiha narrowed his eyes and charged at Karui with all his speed while Karui dashed for him. The two neared each other, but Karui then disappeared to Sasuke's shock. His sharingan eyes were barely analyzing her movements at the moment. She was just too fast.
"See me? See me? See me?" Karui's voice taunted Sasuke as she appeared and disappeared all around him. The Uchiha growled at her taunts while the weight of the seals was bringing him down. He sighed and planted his sword into the ground. The Uchiha did a handsign and was about to continue before a buzzer went off.
"That's all the time we have for today folks. Please stop your fight,"
Karui and Sasuke blinked as the Uchiha turned around. He noticed Karui just inches away from his neck with her sword while he was still holding the handsign. Both narrowed their eyes, but Karui withdrew her weapon. Sasuke did the same, but their wrist bands didn't change. Everyone walked away, but the announcer called them back.
"Oh no no no good people. You won't be returning to your hotels and inns. You will be sleeping in these specially made beds under the Tent itself. You better wake up at 8 or you'll choke with what we have planned," the announcer said while people raised their eyebrows.
"What's your candy ass taking about?!" Fu hollered while the announcer chuckled.
"We must look over your progress miss. This is the best way. Also so that no one tries any alone training. Equal rights and all that," he said and some people shrugged while there was a staircase leading downstairs. Naruto and the rest of the team narrowed their eyes.
"Naruto-kun that was amazing. Where did you learn to use Fuuton jutsu to such a degree?" Maki asked with a large question mark over her head. Naruto chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. Yugito lightly pouted at Naruto drawing the attention of some women while Kurotsuchi slapped his shoulder.
"What was that word you used? Jabroni?" Kurotsuchi asked and Naruto nodded.
"No you can't use it. Never and Fu means never steal her catchphrases," Fu said and everyone merely nodded their heads to her words as they went down the stairs.
"Also young shinobi, in your rooms will be a pair of sunglasses, shades, etc. Wear those to at least one training session per week. We're be here for a good long time," someone said before he vanished away. Everyone shrugged and went into their underground rooms, which apparently were quite nice. Or at least as nice as it could be with being underground. On the doors were notices.
"All participants will follow this guideline. Breakfast at 6:00-7:00am, those late won't eat. 10:00am-4:00pm is shinobi weight training, chakra training, endurance tests. Lunch is at 5:00pm, those late won't eat. 6:00-6:30 is bath time and more weight training if you desire. 7:00-8:00pm is Dinner. Men and women are separate. 8:00-10:00pm is night study of strategizing. Curfew at 10:30. Those caught after 10:30 will be taken to the disciplinary room. Remember this schedule. Your equipment is inside,"
People stared at the notices and sighed. Naruto looked at a random clock and saw that it was still 2:00 so that meant that they would be called for later. It really pissed the blonde off. It was like school all over again, bet he couldn't complain.
"When do you guys want to meet?" Maki asked and Naruto looked at the notice. He narrowed his eyes and Yugito looked over the notice as well.
"We'll meet all the hours that we're free as well as the breakfast, lunch and dinner periods. Everyone keep your wits about you. Something is definitely wrong with this place," Yugito said and Chojuro nodded his head.
"Yeah, for some reason I feel so tired and I haven't done anything yet," he said and Samui turned to him.
"Did you get a good enough sleep?" she asked and Chojuro nodded his head. He was feeling more than well during the night, but he felt his chakra drained at the moment. It was really confusing to the Kiri swordsman.
"Hey, where's Sakura?" Naruto asked and Sai sighed pointing over his shoulder to see Sakura tailing Sasuke and his group.
"Don't worry I'll relay to her the message. I guess we'll see each other soon," Sai said and others nodded their heads while going into their rooms. Naruto and Yugito decided to share one room for themselves.
With Sakura
The Haruno girl was currently following Sasuke as the Uchiha stopped. He turned his head to see Sakura with her hair flowing lightly. She balled her fists and the other members of his group raised their eyebrows.
"You know her Sasuke?" Suigetsu asked and the Uchiha snorted. He turned his head around and continued walking.
"A minor annoyance," Sasuke said before Sakura glared dangerously at him. She walked past everyone next to her and grabbed Sasuke's collar. She forced him to look at her and she seethed. The pink haired kunoichi showed Sasuke a new resolve that he hadn't seen before in her eyes. She cocked her fist back and aimed it for the wall. Everyone watched as Sakura slammed it and it was only in their shock that they saw the wall warp into a massive hole while Sasuke lightly widened his eyes and Sakura sucked her teeth.
"Sturdy wall. Three punches and it barely dents," Sakura said causing the other to widen their eyes. They only saw her move on time. How fast were those punches? Sasuke glared at Sakura and Sakura glared right back at the Uchiha.
"Don't ever let me meet you Sasuke. Cause when I do, I'm going to engrave in your mind the anger in my heart. I'll show you what I accomplished in the two years," Sakura said before she walked off towards her room. The Uchiha narrowed his eyes at the back of her head while Sakura turned around. Her eyes were different, her left arm course in a large amount of explosive chakra while she glared at Sasuke. The sight almost made him shudder. Gone were Sakura's green eyes and in their place were green eyes with a touch of gold added to them. Sakura smirked and walked off while Karin helped Sasuke to his feet.
"What's her deal?" Karin asked and Sasuke growled. He could only wonder how much stronger Sakura had gotten and what the hell that glare was.
Tent, Nighttime
"Yes sir. All preparations are complete. The revival of the Master Puppet will be soon in our grasp. As soon as we take the collective chakra out of everyone here then we'll realize our goals. We'll be known as the most powerful clan in all the nations," someone said and another man snickered with a nod.
"Do we have the spirit orbs?" the mysterious man asked and a female woman bowed her head.
"Only missing one sir. We'll just have to keep the jinchuuriki contained and then we'll suck out all of their chakra and pour them into the revival of the Master Puppet," the female said and the other two members nodded their heads. It would be the time to revive the clan.
"It's a good thing that Taki agreed to this and none of the nations are none the wiser to our plans," someone said before a person appeared in the room in post haste. He huffed and bowed.
"Master, the two people who are coming for their payment will be here in a matter of days," the messenger said and the obvious leader to the group sucked his teeth.
"Dammit, we have to suck as much of the Nanabi jinchuuriki's chakra while we can before they get her. They're the only reason we will be able to fund this project. Let's get started. Is everyone asleep?" he asked and the others nodded.
"Every single last person sir," a person said and the man chuckled with a good nod of his head.
"Good good. Then drain the fools for all their worth," the man said and the others nodded before they shunshined out of sight. Not far off was an eye and ear that were looking left and right. They soon disappeared.
With Team Yugito
Omoi uncovered his eye and ear then nodded his head. Everyone in the room tense under that information. Naruto glanced at Fu who was shuddering at who was possibly coming to take her, but Naruto knew more than better that it might just be Akatsuki to take her. He wouldn't doubt it of them.
"Master Puppet? What the hell is that supposed to be?" Karui asked and Yugito folded her arms.
"I've never heard of it before, but now that we know we will all have to send information to our respective villages. Naruto would you be able to do Konoha and Kumo?" Yugito asked and the blonde gave her a thumbs up.
"Yeah I can Hiraishin over to them tomorrow. I made a Hiraishin over Ayame-chan's place for an instant ramen if I happened to be in the area. I also have plenty of seals over our house so it's fine Yugi-chan," Naruto said and the leader nodded her head.
"Then I'll inform Kazekage-sama. Kurotsuchi will inform the Tsuchikage while Haku-chan and Chojuro-san will inform Kiri's Mizukage-sama. Simple enough," Maki said and everyone else nodded.
"Good, now you guys better go back to your rooms. No need to get caught on the first day. Whoever it is, I won't let them hurt you Fu-chan," Naruto said and Fu seemed...comforted by that fact.
"Thank you," she said before everyone filed out and Naruto laid on the bed. Yugito laid next to him.
"Thinking about something?" she asked and Naruto sighed stroking Yugito's sides.
"I can't help, but hope those damn jabronis won't do something stupid. Though it's a little too late for that I guess. We'd better get some rest," Naruto said and Yugito nodded her head as they fell asleep, but continued to be aware of their surroundings. It would be hectic for everyone.
