Welcome to the Shinobi Hunter: Invasion. I do not own nothing but the story itself.
"You know, you're a lot younger than I expected Sasori," I commented as I glanced at the red haired Akatsuki member that stood by my side.
"This isn't my real body, this body is a puppet as well," Sasori explained, summoning a puppet that was sealed inside of a scroll. "But I find no need to use me at this time. The Third Kazekage should prove more than enough." My mind did a flop as I tried to figure out how Sasori was a puppet and using a puppet, but I had to move as Minato teleported to my side again, another Rasengan in his palm. Sasori pulled me back, using some type of sand to block the incoming Rasengan.
"What the hell is that?" I asked Sasori as a superior grin crossed the puppet master's face.
"That is the Third Kazekage's special Iron Sand technique," Sasori explained as he watched Minato try to press the Rasengan through the iron sand. "Due to my puppet being made from the actual Kazekage himself, I gain the ability of his Iron Sand technique that made him so difficult to kill."
"You're a sick son of a bitch Sasori," I remarked as a grin slithered across my face. "I'm impressed. Let's finish this." Minato used the Hiraishin no Jutsu, disappearing in thin air as I said this statement, Sasori and I going on the defensive as soon as the Kage moved an inch. Minato appeared behind Sasori, the tree branch beneath Sasori's feet marked with the Hiraishin symbol. With his feet planted on the Hiraishin symbol, Minato switched to the side of the branch Sasori was standing on, holding the Rasengan at Sasori's back. I decided to take this opportunity to knock the Kage down a peg, throwing a Hiraishin marker at the tree trunk next to Sasori's back. This distracted Minato for the moment, giving me the opportunity to use the Hiraishin no Jutsu to teleport to where the marker was placed. This puppet Minato thought I was aiming at him, so when I tossed the marker in his direction, he moved backward slightly. When he did, a clone of me appeared behind him, wrenching both of his arm's behind his back, the real me gathering a Odama Rasengan while I also prepared to use the Hiraishin no Jutsu. But Sasori intervened, sending the Third Kazekage puppet at the immobilized Minato, who was beginning to struggle with my clone. I watched as Minato elbowed my clone in the chest, a broad cloud of smoke surrounding him. I used the Hiraishin no Jutsu, which I had placed another marker on the clone I sent to restrain Minato, so I appeared behind him instead of in front of him. I sent another clone in front of him, the clone in front of him using a mock Rasengan. Minato dodged the clone's clumsy Rasengan, kicking the clone in the side after he did. As it disappeared, I planted the Odama Rasengan in the side of his chest. I let out a roar as the Rasengan increased in size, now taking on the color of Master's chakra. The enhanced Rasengan swallowed Minato in a blinding crimson light, Sasori and I shielding our eye's (Or whatever the creepy puppet idiot does) as the Kage was defeated.
"One down, two and a snake to go," I muttered as I wiped the sweat from my brow. "By the way, thank's for nothing Sasori. You were useless, as usual of course."
"How dare you speak to me in such a manner you little brat!" Sasori hissed as he and I stared each other down menacingly. "I should cut you down right here you little..." Sasori was interrupted as his real (or puppet) body was hit from every side by Rasengan's, Minato and about three clones of Minato each with two Rasengan's in their palms spearing the puppet master. I looked on with a bewildered expression on my face, Sasori spitting out what almost looked like blood out his mouth. Minato's clones disappeared as I stood on the opposite tree branch Minato and the injured Sasori were on, me looking at Minato, who's expression almost challenged my own.
"I didn't like the bastard, I would have probably killed him myself one day, but he was a good ally," I muttered quietly as a red aura surfaced around my body. "I can't just let you go around doing what you want, that mean's Orochimaru wins. And as long as I have breath in my body, I refuse to let that happen. I don't care if your a Hokage, I don't care that you're the Fourth Hokage. Every bone in my body says I need to kill you, and I will do it. With pleasure..."
I let out a primal roar as the crimson chakra surrounding my body increased, almost giving me a type of inky like chakra. My skin began to tear off my bones, replacing it was a red chakra coating that covered my entire body. My eye's went black on the outside, the iris turning completely red. I did not grow any tail's as I did in my old transformation's, this one was the complete version. This was the form I took when I have complete control over Master's power, enhancing my strength, speed, and chakra to Master's level of strength.
"Now, you'll know the real reason they call me the Red Demon of Konoha, dear Hokage," I growled in a more hoarse voice than my normal one. Minato did not even bat an eye, using the Hiraishin no Jutsu to try to target the marker he placed on my body. But from the blank expression on his face when he tried, I knew though he couldn't express it, he was surprised.
"You must have not been paying attention, my skin was shredded when I took this form fool," I remarked as I used the chakra emulating around me to form an arm. I used this chakra arm to try to grab Minato, but he teleported to the marker he placed on the tree branch. I chuckled as I created another hand, both hands now homing in to Minato's location. Minato tried to escape by foot this time, but I managed to grab hold of the retreating Kage as he made a move. I tossed him in the air, gathering a concentrated dose of chakra inside of my mouth. Minato tried to use the Hiraishin no Jutsu to escape, but I activated my Sharingan, which increased my visual prowess in this form. I was able to slow down his movement to the point where I saw him disappear in the yellow light, me gathering a Final Rasengan in my hand. As I tried to focus on where he would reappear, Minato reappeared in slow motion near another tree whioch bared the marker of the Hiraishin. I teleported in an instant, not bothering to even use the Hiraishin no Jutsu. My speed was so superior in this form, there was no need to use such a trivial jutsu. Minato looked at me in surprise as I held the Final Rasengan above my head, a grin forming on my face.
"Naruto, you would slay this man?" a familiar voice asked me as someone landed on the ground behind me. Minato remained motionless as I looked behind me, no one other than that dirty snake Orochimaru.
"What the hell do you want snake?" I growled as I looked at the snake suspiciously. "Wait your turn to die, it's your pawn's turn right now."
"Naruto, do you know who this man is?" Orochimaru asked me, looking at me with a very sly grin.
"This is the Fourth Hokage, who I'm about to kill," I responded, Orochimaru wagging his index finger at me.
"No dear boy, this is not just the Fourth Hokage," Orochimaru replied with his grin increasing in size.
"Enough Orochimaru, he doesn't need to know anymore at this point," a voice stated as Pain in the flesh stood behind Orochimaru, about five other's that looked similiar to him standing by his side.
"What are you talking about?" I asked as I flashed Pain a confused glance. "What shouldn't I know? Tell me, before I force it out of one of you!"
"He doesn't want you to know that the Fourth Hokage is your father Naruto... Namikaze!" Orochimaru shouted with a wild laugh, Pain looking away as I looked at the motionless figure that stood near me.
"My... what?" I asked as I looked at Orochimaru, who was practically in tears from all of his laughter.
"Oh yes, this is your father, Minato Namikaze," Orochimaru answered. "They kept in from you because they were afraid that you would try to side with the village if you knew. They were afraid because you were going to ruin the plan they have for you Naruto! They want nothing about you but except..." As Orochimaru was going to unveil the plan the Akatsuki were hiding from me, he was struck down by an unknown force, Pain even looking around to see who would have done such a thing.
"I see you were too weak to silence this arrogant fool Nagato," a voice stated as a masked man appeared beside me. Along with him was Kimimaro, who was investigating Orochimaru's body.
"It's a fake, this isn't the real Orochimaru," Kimimaro confirmed. "This is a human puppet that was made to look like Orochimaru. The real one could be anywhere and anyone, he's a master of disguise."
"Search the village, bring Kakuzu and Hidan with you," the masked man instructed as he looked at me next. "Naruto Uzumaki, it's a pleasure to finally meet with the boy who has been working with my organization for so long."
"Who the hell are you?" I asked. "I thought Pain was the leader of the Akatsuki." The masked man chuckled as he patted me on the back.
"Naruto, you shouldn't be so naive for someone as powerful as you are," the masked man remarked. "Not everything in this world of shinobi as it appears. I am Madara Uchiha, but please just call me Tobi."
"Did he just say Madara Uchiha?" Master asked as I nodded, looking the mysterious individual up and down. "No... he is not the true Madara Uchiha. He is a fraud, but his power is similiar to Madara Uchiha's. Indeed, they are of the same cloth."
"You aren't Madara Uchiha, I just got the confirmation from a friend," I stated as Tobi chuckled at this, a Sharingan eye appearing from the hole that was near his eye. "Who are you really, I want to know."
"I am a enigma," Tobi answered, his Sharingan eye glaring at me slightly giving me the creeps. "Just know that Naruto Uzumaki. You are as well, which is why I am giving this to you." I looked with a stunned expression as Tobi handed me a custom fit Akatsuki cloak, along with what looked like the ring Sasori alway's wore.
"Officially, welcome to the Akatsuki, Naruto Uzumaki," Tobi continued, giving me another pat on the back. "I've decided to pair you up with Itachi, so meaning Kisame and Deidara will now be partner's. You and Itachi might be a bit unorthodox due to the fact you both wield the Sharingan, but after a while I think you'll be a perfect fit. Now, on to the pressing matter's at hand. Orochimaru is staging an all out war against the Akatsuki as well as the Konohagakure Village. This pose's a problem due to the army that Orochimaru has, which is an army of the dead. We must nip this in the bud now, meaning we must find a way to neutralize the Endotensei jutsu. Naruto, I need you to start weakening the army that is being built, while I go to crush Orochimaru on my own. If he want's a war, he's going to get it. Get your Akatsuki cloak on and get into the battlefield. Nagato, come with me." Pain nodded as he and the look alike's followed Tobi deep into the forest, leaving me alone with the motionless Minato.
"My father..." I muttered as I looked deep into the man's eyes. They looked just like my own... I brushed this away, taking off the Sand outfit I was previously wearing, pulling the Akatsuki cloak over it. Nearby, a Leaf headband laid on the ground, looking almost brand new. I brushed it off, taking off the Suna headband I was wearing. I looked at it without making a noise for a moment, wondering what I should do now. As I did, I thought off all the hate that was dealt to me, just all of the pain. I grasped the headband tightly, looking at it with sheer hatred. I took the headband against a sharp rock, cutting it down until the Leaf insignia had a cut across it. I smiled with satisfaction as I draped the headband over my forehead, tying it in the back. I now felt complete, looking at the Kage that stood motionlessly before me. I gathered a Rasengan, looking at him with a evil grin.
"Let's finish this old man," I stated as I walked toward him.
As Tobi and Pain traveled through the forest, a mysterious person darted before them, Tobi greeting him with a slight hmph.
"So, how did it go Zetsu?" Tobi asked as Zetsu gave him a creepy smile. "Good... as expected. He will be most efficient in the future..."
Naruto will take on Minato for Round 2! But will Minato just be defeated so easily? Or does the sinister Orochimaru have something else planned for the newest Akatsuki member? And what are Tobi's motive? Find out all in the next chapter of The Shinobi Hunter!
