New chapter of the Shinobi Hunter! I do not own anything but the story! R&R and enjoy!
"Uchiha Itachi, take me on as your apprentice!" I exclaimed as Itachi snickered, turning away as I looked at the Sharingan legend's back with my Sharingan activated. I growled angrily as Itachi paid my request no mind, going on his way back to the Akatsuki hideout.
"I wasn't asking you to take me as your apprentice…" I muttered as I placed my hand on Itachi's shoulder. "That was actually a demand…" Itachi looked back at me, his Sharingan eyes changing in an instant. They were different than the normal Sharingan, his pupils looking as if they were small shuriken.
"You know, they say the Sharingan is a cursed ability," Itachi mumbled as his eyes studied me. "After the fall of Uchiha Madara, it seemed people began to lose their faith in the technique. Especially after I slaughtered the entire clan…"
"Thanks for the history lesson," I replied dryly as I looked back at Itachi with a determined grin. "But what does this have to do with you training me?"
"Allow me to show you…" Itachi murmured as my entire being faded to black in an instant, my mind breaking away as the Tsukoyomi took effect. I found myself standing within the village once again, staring down all the villagers who shunned me in the past. I was a young child once again, sitting in the fetal position as the villagers screamed at me, tossing rocks at my body. I closed my eyes tightly as I held my head, wishing the images would go away.
"Simple minded fool, you could never master the Sharingan," Itachi murmured in the crowd as he appeared before me, a hood covering his face.
"No, I have Master to protect me!" I shouted as tears streamed down my face, the entire village calling me names as I sat there. "Master, please help me! Please, don't let them bother me anymore!"
"Pathetic fox, be gone…" Itachi muttered as all of the villagers turned into him, all of the hooded Itachi's wielding long katanas. As they all held the swords at my throat, I knew I had no chance in Hell to win the battle.
"Absolutely pathetic Naruto…"
"Master?" I asked timidly as Itachi looked around in confusion.
"What happen to you Naruto?" Master asked as I shrugged, looking up at the sky. "Did you forget what you did to those villagers? Those villagers will never hurt you again! And why is that Naruto?"
"Because… I'm stronger than I used to be?" I answered, Master chuckling softly.
"Because you are a true demon Naruto," Master corrected as I grinned, red chakra circling around my body as I pulled myself away from the Tsukoyomi's spell. "Now awaken, show this fool you aren't any ordinary shinobi! You are the Red Demon of Konoha!"
"Exactly who I am!" I exclaimed as my Sharingan eyes changed, the two small insignias in my eyes becoming three. Instead of a small dot where my pupil was, it was replaced with a long slit with the insignias floating around it.
"Impossible, he's managed to upgrade his Sharingan!" Itachi shouted as I pulled myself out of the genjutsu, looking at Itachi with a wild grin. I went flying at him with incredible speed, slamming my fist into his jaw. The impact sent him flying back, sliding across the small brook. As he slid past the brook onto the ground once again, I teleported before him with my Rasengan in my left palm. I slammed it into his chest, causing a gigantic crater from the chakra sphere. Itachi looked up with blood leaking from his mouth, a small smile forming on his face as he disappeared in a cloud of white smoke.
"You've certainly improved since I last saw you battle," Itachi commented as a long kunai poked me in the back. "Maybe you aren't a complete waste of time like I previously believed…"
"Does that mean… you will train me?" I asked hopefully as Itachi looked down at me, nodding slightly.
"YES!" I roared happily as I jumped up and down with excitement. "I can't wait to learn the Tsukoyomi and the other techniques…"
"Unfortunately, that will have to wait until you are finished working with Orochimaru," a voice interrupted as Anko stepped from behind a small oak tree, grinning broadly. "Nice win Naruto, didn't think you would push it that far…"
"Yeah, now what about snake pedophile?" I asked as Anko giggled girlishly.
"Well, he's ready to explain his plans to you if your willing to cooperate," Anko answered as I nodded. "Then come on, he's stationed not too far from here."
"We will meet again Uzumaki Naruto," Itachi murmured as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke, me and Haku following Anko to Orochimaru's current hideout…
"Invade the Hidden Leaf Village?" I asked almost too excitedly as Orochimaru nodded, a twisted smile crossing his face.
"Ah, I thought you would enjoy this one," Orochimaru hissed as I nodded eagerly. "I will be posing as the Sand Village Kazekage, as you and Anko will be stationed inside the Leaf itself. Naruto, you will be joining the Sand Village as the newest genin to join a team of my choosing. You will be working with another of my agents Kabuto, who will appear before you when you least expect it, so remember his name. Also, meet my other ninja that will be invading the village alongside me…" Orochimaru snapped his fingers, four other ninja body flickering into the room.
"This is Kidomaru, Tayuya, Sakon, and Jirobo," Orochimaru introduced the ninja. "They are considered as the Sound Four. They will be assisting me in a more… personal matter I must deal with in the village…"
"You're going to attack the old man aren't you?" I asked knowingly as Orochimaru flashed me his creepy smile.
"Young Naruto, such full of life," Orochimaru replied as he turned away, avoiding my question. "I expect a good fight from you Naruto, plus the Hidden Leaf's pride and joy, Uchiha Sasuke."
"Ha, that loser?" I muttered as I chuckled at the mentioning of his name. "What do you expect that fool to do against me?"
"Naruto, you must contain yourself within the Hidden Leaf," Anko warned as I sighed loudly. "No showboating, no foolish behavior, and absolutely no killing without meaning or the permission of Lord Orochimaru."
"Dam, I don't think I was born with a hearing problem," I muttered angrily as I turned to Orochimaru. "Now, you still haven't told me why you want to attack the village anyway. What the hell did they do to you? At least I have a reason to…"
"I want to dismantle it board by board," Orochimaru interrupted as I looked back at him with widened eyes. "I want that entire piece of garbage to be wiped away, cleaned, and taken to the curb."
"Wow, someone needs to see a psychiatrist," I whispered to the one called Tayuya, Tayuya looking back at me with anger.
"Never disrespect Lord Orochimaru before me!" Tayuya roared as she sent me flying with some sort of noise. I looked up from the ground as I witnessed her put a flute in her mouth.
"Say your prayers you little worm!" Tayuya shouted as she prepared to play.
"Tayuya, enough of this foolishness," Orochimaru ordered as Tayuya halted herself. "He has enough power to kill two of you. So I'd suggest you relax and stick to my plan." Tayuya nodded as she placed herself back into the row of four.
"So, when do we begin this?" I asked as Orochimaru grinned evilly.
"Tonight we blend ourselves in," Orochimaru explained. "Prepare yourselves for the battle of a lifetime!"
Sorry for the short chapter, but the Chunin Exams begin next chapter! With Naruto playing on the bad side, what will become of Konoha? Will Konoha's finest be able to defeat him in battle? Or will he prevail for Orochimaru? And what team will Naruto join? It's up to you! He can join any team, so choose what you would like to see! I'll put up a poll on it as soon as this chapter is over, so please choose! Let me explain something also, Naruto DID NOT achieve his Mangekyo for those who might be wondering. His Mangekyo will be completely different. When you vote, choose the village you want Naruto to join, which will include the Sound, Leaf, Sand, and possibly I might add the Cloud or another village to join the Chunin Exam fray. Reviews count as votes as well, so choose either way! See you guys next chapter!
