(Coming at you again.)
It had been a week since Naruto returned home from his three year training period with Jiraiya, and when he got back Tsunade had reinstated him as a ninja and allowed him to partake in ninja missions leading a select number of Foot ninjas to accompany him, as well as Hun and Ino. Occasionally when the members of squad ten, eight, or Guy weren't on missions with their respectable teams they would be some of the Foot ninja to accompany Naruto. One morning at the Namikaze mansion, Naruto who was in bed woke up and stretched, "What a night." He yawned.
"I'll say." a voice came from under his covers.
Naruto looked to his left and saw Ino sit up with her long hair down, and was completely naked, "I haven't been with you like this in so long I felt like I went through withdrawal." Ino joked.
"Well you can relax now Ino-chan, I'm not going away for over a year anytime soon." Naruto assured her.
Ino smiled, "I'm so happy," She said as she glomped Naruto pressing her chest against his own which caused Naruto to blush like crazy as she rubbed her breasts against him. When Ino pulled herself off of him she looked at him, "I never got the chance to ask you last night Naruto, but I want to know. What do you think of my matured body?" she asked as she put her hands under her breasts and started making them bounce to turn Naruto on, and luckily for her it worked.
"I'd say the years have been extremely kind to you." Naruto replied.
Ino blushed and smirked, "You always know exactly what to say. And here's your prize!" she said grabbing Naruto's face, and hugged him with his face pressing into her breasts, "And who knows mine just may even surpass Lady Tsunade's one day." She said about her chest.
Naruto mumbled with his face still buried in Ino's chest, "That would be something."
Suddenly a bird flew into the window with a message tied to its leg. Naruto took the message and looked at it, "Hmm, it seems the Hokage requires my presence for a mission." He explained.
"Oh can't you just ignore it for today?" Ino pouted.
"Sorry Ino, but you know what Tsunade will do to me if I defy her." Naruto said as he got into his Foot robe and headed out the door.
Soon he arrived at the Hokage's office, while being accompanied by Hun. The two stood before Tsunade who was at her desk, "All right Naruto, your mission is to find this man and bring him back here." Tsunade said holding up a wanted poster with a picture of a man with brown hair, dark eyes, a goatee, and a scar across his right cheek.
"So who am I looking at here?" Naruto asked.
"This man Oikawa Hokio, is a wanted man from Suna who was once a puppeteer, but he likes to use armor as puppets instead of hand made ones." Tsunade explained.
"Shouldn't Gaara and Suna be dealing with this then?" Naruto asked.
"They would however they have enough missions to give their own ninja already so Gaara requested you to do this one." Tsunade explained.
"You don't say?" Naruto smirked.
"Where will we find this Oikawa, Lady Tsunade?" Hun asked.
"According to sources Oikawa was last seen in Kusa." Tsunade explained.
"There?" Hun asked and Tsunade nodded.
"Very well then, I'll gather some of my Foot ninja, and we'll be on our way." Naruto accepted the mission.
"Good, remember he has to be brought back alive." Tsunade warned him.
"Bummer, I like going on assassination missions," Naruto sighed. He turned to Hun, "Hun, summon Kotaro, Daichi, Gokudo, Kouji, and Hyoku for the mission."
"As you wish master." Hun said as he took off.
Soon enough in front of the village gates, Naruto in his armor minus his helmet had Ino in her armor, and Hun at his sides, while they stood before five members of the Foot clan. Four were male and one was female, the males were Kotaro who had dark black hair, Daichi who had light brown hair, Gokudo who was a red head, Kouji had silver hair, and the girl member Hyoku had aqua blue hair. They stood before Naruto in the Foot ninja outfit minus their masks, "As you all know, our mission is to go to Kusa and capture the rogue ninja Oikawa and bring him back alive," Naruto began, "Gokudo, Hyoku, Kotaro, Daichi, and Kouji, you five have been selected to accompany me on this mission. Are you all prepared for it?"
"Hai, Master Shredder." The ninja replied as they put their Foot ninja masks on and bowed their heads.
Naruto put his helmet on, "Let's move out." He ordered as they took off for Kusa.
Hours later, it was already afternoon and they were already traveling down a road reaching Kusa, "Well we made it to our destination." Naruto noted.
"We should stop and rest for the day, don't you think so master?" Hun asked.
"Yes, we all deserve a break from so much traveling." Naruto nodded.
"And I know just the place." Hun smiled as they followed his lead.
Soon they were in front of a hotspring, and Naruto, Ino, and the Foot ninja looked impressed, "A hotsprings?" Ino gasped.
"Yes, during my travels around the ninja land before I met you, I've stopped at this place numerous times." Hun explained.
"Excellent choice, Hun." Naruto said as he removed his helmet and they entered.
Unaware to them watching from behind a tree was a figure that was smirking, "So the armor of the Shredder? It'll make a fine piece to my collection." He smirked revealing to be Oikawa.
Soon enough, Naruto who was out of his armor, Hun, and the four male Foot ninja were on the mens side of the hotsprings relaxing, "Ah this is the life right men?" Naruto asked.
"It's wonderful Master." Daichi agreed.
"Yes, I feel great!" Kotaro stretched his arms up.
"I knew you'd all like it." Hun said as he flexed his muscles.
Meanwhile on the women's side, Ino and the female Foot ninja Hyoku were relaxing as well, "Ah this is just what I need." Ino moaned in delight.
"I know what you mean," Hyoku replied as she looked at Ino, 'Mistress Ino is so beautiful, I hope one day I can be as beautiful like that.'
Ino noticed Hyoku taking glances, "Hyoku is something wrong?"
"Nothing mistress, it's just…" Hyoku started, "You have both strength and beauty, while all I have is strength to serve the master. I admire that about you."
Ino smiled and decided to give her some words of wisdom, "Let me tell you something Hyoku. A girl is like a flower, one starts off like a bud, and over time that bud will blossom into a beautiful flower. And the same is said for you."
Hyoku smiled, "Arigato mistress."
"No problem," Ino smiled and decided to ask her something, "So why're you so interested in being beautiful right now, are you trying to impress someone?"
Hyoku started blushing, "Well uh…" she stammered as an image of Daichi appeared in her mind.
"You're blushing," Ino smirked as she scooted in, "Come on tell me we're both girls!" she pleaded with Hyoku to talk along with latching onto her body, "Oh you are just the most precious thing!"
"Mistress Ino, please!" Hyoku cried trying to wiggle out of her mistress' embrace.
Back on the men's side, Naruto and the others could hear what was going on, "Looks like the mistress and Hyoku are having a good time." Daichi said with a bit of blood coming down his nostril.
Naruto noticed this, and dunked his Foot ninja into the springs while he gurgled under the hot water until Naruto pulled him back up, "Don't be sick in front of me."
"Sorry sir." Daichi replied looking hot from being under the hot springs water.
Meanwhile in the changing hall, Oikawa had snuck in disguised as a worker, and saw the Shredder armor resting inside a cabinet, he smirked as he formed some hand signs, "Ninpo; Puppet seal Jutsu!" he said placing his palm on the armor and seal markings spreaded throughout the armor and became invisible, "Excellent." He said as he snuck out.
That night after they had dinner, the Shredder and his group went to sleep in their own rooms. The Shredder armor of Naruto's that was inside a cabinet in the room, opened the doors from the inside and walked off all on it's own. When morning came they all woke up until Naruto looked at the cabinet seeing it was opened and the armor was missing, "Oh Kami no!"
Ino and Hyoku entered, "Naruto's what's wrong?" Ino asked.
"My armor is gone!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Oh no!" Ino gasped.
"Someone had to have stolen it." Kotaro said.
"Yes, it's not like it just got up and walked away." Daichi said knowing how ridiculous that would be.
"Actually Daichi, that's exactly what happened." Hun said as he looked down the hall seeing a wall that led to outside, had the outline of the Shredder armor.
"How did this happen?" Gokudo asked.
Naruto recalled what Tsunade told him about Oikawa, "Oikawa was said to use armors as puppets."
"So he's behind this." Hun gasped.
Naruto frowned, "I'm going to find him and make him suffer."
"But master what'll you do without your armor?" Hyoku asked.
"They're right, Naruto." Ino agreed.
Naruto sighed, "Ino, there have been times I'd ask myself 'Is it really the armor that makes me the Shredder' or the other way around?" he asked her, "I want to put that theory to the test."
Soon Naruto was wearing his regular Foot robe, and was jumping from tree to tree in the forest outside the hotsprings, 'I'll find him for taking the armor of Master Saki.' He thought until a shockwave hit him and he fell form the tree branch but managed to catch onto another one and swing down safely.
"What the?" Naruto gasped as the Shredder armor holding the sword of Tengu leaped down to Naruto's level, "My worse nightmare has come true, staring my own armor in the face." He said to himself.
"Your armor dear boy is such a fine piece of work," A voice said as Oikawa appeared beside the armor, "If only I had acquired it years ago."
"Oikawa," Naruto frowned, "You stole my armor from me and dishonored the name of Oroku Saki."
"You take things much too seriously boy." Oikawa said with a smirk until he saw shuriken fly right for him, but he and the Shredder armor jumped away before they could get impaled.
Naruto's Foot ninja, Hun, and Ino appeared ready to fight, "We're at your command Master Shredder." Hun said to Naruto.
"It's a good thing I came prepared for this," Oikawa said unraveling scrolls which released numerous ninja and shogun armor controlled by his Jutsu, "Let's see how you deal with these." He said as he sent the armors after Ino and the Foot.
"You're mine!" Naruto called as he rushed for Oikawa but he had the Shredder armor defend him and the armor and Naruto fought.
Ino was using her own sword to fight back against the swords of the armors she was fighting along side the Foot ninja, "Fire Style; Fireball Jutsu!" Hun called using his fire Jutsu incinerating some of the shogun armors.
Meanwhile Naruto was still going at it with his own armor that was using the sword of Tengu, which was proving difficulty for Naruto. 'I have to separate the sword from the armor.' Naruto thought as he summoned hundreds of clones as they all went at the armor who swung the sword releasing a shockwave which took out over half of the hundred clones. The real Naruto who used the clones as a distraction summoned a large shuriken from a summoning scroll and threw it knocking the sword of Tengu out of the armor's hands, "Now it's evened up!" Naruto called as he took control of the match and continued fighting against the armor.
"You might as well just give up boy. The only way to stop this is to destroy your precious armor," Oikawa taunted him while Naruto's face remained emotionless as he summoned a dozen clones that gang up on the armor making sure to hold him in place while another clone was conjuring a big looking Rasengan in the real Naruto's palm, "Wait what're you doing?" Oikawa demanded.
Naruto replied with, "It's not my armor anymore," He said as he doze for the armor with his move, "Oodama Rasengan!" he shouted shoving it into the armor and it exploded, the pieces of armor fell apart with only the helmet that looked ok save for some dents and scrapes, while the rest of the armor looked totaled.
"How could you destroy the armor of the Shredder?" Oikawa demanded.
Naruto answered, 'It's not the armor that makes the user the Shredder. It's the other way around." He replied as he summoned another hundred clones to defeat Oikawa with no problem.
Hours later back in Konoha, Oikawa was turned over to the interrogation corps, while Naruto had told everything that happened to Tsunade. He held the Shredder helmet and had the sword of Tengu hilted on his back, "Is there any chance of fixing it?" Tsunade asked about the armor.
"No chance." Naruto replied.
"I'm sorry you had to do that, Naruto." Tsunade replied.
"It's not a complete loss," Naruto replied, "You see during my travels with Ero-sennin I had been collecting various alloys throughout the ninja lands and I've made plans to have them become the metal to create a new suit of armor. An even better one."
"Have you now?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes. I hired Tenten's family to take care of it. It'll take them a few weeks, but I can wait after all I'm still the Shredder even without armor." Naruto smirked.
Tsunade nodded in agreement. Later that night, Naruto was standing before a memorial of Oroku Saki with the old Shredder helmet on a table in front of it, "I promise you master, the armor you once used may be gone, but the memories of you using it will live on through me and the new generation of Foot ninja." He said to the memorial.
Three weeks later, after doing many missions without the armor and using the sword of Tengu, Naruto was at Tenten's weaponry shop in the back room which was designed like a blacksmiths shop. Naruto stood before Tenten and her father, "So you say it's ready?"
"Yes, and you will be very pleased." Tenten's father said as he uncovered the suit of armor and sure enough Naruto was in awe.
The new Shredder armor was black, gray, with red lining, and the blades on the shoulders and knees were red, on both wrists were two red blades much like the old armors left bladed gauntlet, on the torso was the Foot Symbol along with the symbol being on the helmet area above the face plate of the helmet, "What do you think, Master Shredder?" Tenten asked.
"It's perfect. You both have outdone yourselves." Naruto replied fascinated by his new armor.
"We aim to please." Tenten's dad replied.
It was that night, Naruto stood on top of a water tower in the village in his new armor, with the moon behind him. He raised both his fists up, "The new Shredder is new and improved!" he laughed.
(Now Naruto's got new armor. Don't miss next time where the plot thickens.)
