The Shinobi Hunter
By gorutovssageta
Hey, gorutovssageta here. Want to say this, because of a few negative reviews I received, I want to fully explain myself. I'm not the type of author that will tell every single detail from the beginning, unless it is an essential part of the plot at the moment, so if you're expecting to learn everything from reading two chapters, it's not going to happen. This is called storytelling, the story would get boring quickly if I let out every single secret before the story is firmly on the ground. For those who doubt this story, stick with it. It will only get better, believe me when I say this. I made a few mistakes in the beginning of the story I will be fixing as well, I'm aware of these mistakes, but I don't have much time to fix them which is why I desperately need a beta if anyone if interested. Also, if you PM'd me and I did not answer I apologize, I do try to reply to everything I get sent, bad or good, but it's hard sometimes with my schedule. I also try to send out thank you's as well, which I haven't got to do in a while. I thank everyone that takes the time to review this story, believe it or not this gives me the ambition to get out another chapter faster. So once again, thank you everyone that has this story on their story alerts and favorites and those who have me on their author alerts I appreciate it. On to the story! I do not own Naruto, just this story. R&R.
As Tobi and Pain arrived at the Konohagakure Village, they were greeted by several ANBU level shinobi, who were stationed at each perimeter of the village.
"Weren't Kakuzu and Hidan supposed to clear the area of all vermin?" Tobi asked Pain. "This is a bother, but it can't be helped I suppose."
"State your name and purpose," one of the ANBU member's stated, Tobi glancing at the ANBU member with his visible Sharingan eye.
"I am Madara Uchiha, I've come to eliminate Orochimaru," Tobi responded, earning a chuckle or two from the crowd of shinobi.
"Tenzo, what do you think?" another ANBU asked the other ANBU member. "What should we do with them?"
"We'll interrogate them, they must belong to some group or cult," Tenzo answered. "I'm guessing a cult that worship Madara Uchiha."
"You did not hear me, I am Madara Uchiha," Tobi insisted. "Fine, let me give you a taste…" Tenzo sprung forth, sending a kunai aimed at Tobi's forehead, which Tobi cut in two as it spiraled at him. As the kunai was cut in two, the explosive tag attached to the tip exploded, blanketing half of the field in a thick smoke.
"Is this all the ANBU of the Konohagakure Village can muster?" a sinister voice asked as the smoke cleared off into a distance, revealing Tobi, who appeared to be unscathed. "I'd expect someone with Hashirama's cell's not to go as low as using a parlor trick to defeat me."
"How could you possibly know that…?" Tenzo asked, Tobi beginning to chuckling in Tenzo's mid-sentence.
"My Sharingan see's all, my friend," Tobi answered, glaring at the wood user with his visible Sharingan eye. "It's ashame, if I'd come to cleanse this village, I might have asked you to join me. But I'm pressed for time at the moment, so let's wrap this up."
"I decide when we're finished here 'Madara' now ANBU, let's finish this," Tenzo shot back. Tenzo's eye's widened underneath his mask as he glanced back at his team, who were all in a motionless state.
"I-Impossible, how could you place them in a genjutsu when you never even looked them eye to eye?" Tenzo stammered.
"My ocular power is unmatched," Tobi remarked as he ran at Tenzo full speed. Tenzo went into a defensive stance, but was appalled when Tobi ran past him.
"Nagato, kill the clone," Tobi commanded as Tenzo's body was blown to several piece's by Pain's Shinra Tensei, each piece made of wood. The real Tenzo, running back toward the Hokage's office, looked behind him to see if the area was clear. It was, Tobi too far at this point to give chase.
"So, did you think you'd escape?" a voice hissed as Tenzo was held up against a brick wall in a choke hold by the teleporting Tobi. "It was a nice effort, but futile in the end. Let's see that face…" Tobi took off Tenzo's mask, revealing a man with short brown hair with almond shaped black eye's, wearing a happuri-style forehead protector that framed his face.
"So you've seen my face, now what?" Tenzo asked as Tobi gave him a sinister glance.
"Now I'll need you to tell me your real name, along with the rest of your information," Tobi remarked as he looked Tenzo in the eye. "I'll be the 'special referee' for the Third's and Orochimaru's little match…"
"Sasuke-kun, what's going on?" Sakura asked as she looked over at Sasuke, who was scanning the area ahead with his Sharingan.
"A group of people, each with a shit load of chakra," Sasuke reported as he looked at Sakura. "It must be other genin duking it out. Since we're a man short, we'll make use of this. We'll sneak over, ambush the losing team for their scroll so we can advance. It's a risky tactic, but it's the only way we'll survive a fight. It'll be up to you to escape once we capture the scroll, so be on your guard."
"Yes, Sasuke-kun," Sakura responded as she and Sasuke tree traveled to the location.
As I glared at my unmoving bastard father, I was surprised to smell two chakra signature's approaching me from a distance, each seeming quite familiar.
"Is that… Sakura-chan?" I murmured as I smiled toward the direction I sensed the chakra approaching from. "She's with that Sasuke kid…"
"Naruto, we have no time for such frivolous matters, the man who caused us so much grief is standing in front of us, defenseless!" Master shouted, me not paying the old fox any mind. "You little bastard, don't you ignore me! I want this, I want to kill him!"
"I'm pretty sure he's not going nowhere, so let's not stress over that right now," I replied with a wild grin. "Besides, I need to teach this Sasuke bitch a lesson on trying to get with the Red Demon of Konoha's girl…"
"Fuck him and that girl!" Master roared angrily. "Kill the Fourth, do it now! Or I'll cut you off from all of my power! You'll kill him with your own strength!"
"What are you trying to say?" I asked just as angrily. "Are you saying I'm nothing without your old ass giving me chakra?"
"Enough of this pointless bickering Naruto, we shouldn't argue amongst ourselves," Master replied, completely bypassing my question. "We'll do as you wish, I'll let you kill Sasuke, then we'll finish the Fourth."
"Why are you so gung ho about this all of a sudden?" I asked suspiciously. "You're up to something…"
"We're partners, I seemed to have forgotten that," Master answered. "I'll give you as much chakra as you need, don't you worry. Now, let's get him partner." I looked back in my mindscape, the fox giving me an innocent smile. I knew him, he wasn't fooling anyone. Not once in our 'partnership' had he ever called me his partner. Something was up, but I decided it was best to let it go for the time being. I looked ahead, spotting Sasuke and Sakura tree traveling to where I was located. Sasuke spotted me immediately, a stunned look on his face as it registered who I was.
"Sakura-chan, you're looking as beautiful as ever," I greeted as Sasuke and Sakura landed before me. "Well, do I get a hug? We all haven't seen each other since the Land of Waves. How is that girl with the blond hair?"
"Y-You mean Ino?" Sakura stammered, her fists shaking angrily at her side as she looked at me with a look of pure hate. "She's dead you sick bastard! You killed her and injured Kakashi-sensei!"
"That's not my problem, they were in my way," I responded coldly, giving Sakura a twisted smile. "Come on smile, at least you get to see me again right? I'm still alive…"
"Go to hell and die you bastard!" Sakura roared as she threw a kunai with a paper bomb attached to the heel at my head, which I swayed from, the kunai hitting a tree behind me. I stood watching Sasuke and Sakura with an evil expression as the kunai exploded behind me, making it seem like fireworks were exploding behind me.
"Calm down Sakura, get out of here," Sasuke commanded as he pushed her out the way, looking at me with his Sharingan activated menacingly. "This is between me and him, you'll just get in the way."
"But Sasuke-kun-" Sakura began, but was silenced as Sasuke pointed down toward where they came from. "Yes, I'll go back… be careful Sasuke."
"Don't worry, I won't lose again to him," Sasuke remarked as he pulled a kunai from his kunai holster. "You ready for Round 2 boogeyman?"
I stood there with my arms hidden inside my long sleeves, chuckling as I looked at Sasuke with a teasing grin.
"Alright, let's make this an ocular battle then," I stated as I closed my eyes, a fierce wind blowing across the battlefield. "Sharingan vs. Sharingan?"
"That would be fine, but you don't have the…" Sasuke began, but was cut off when I activated my own Sharingan, looking at Sasuke with a wild grin.
"Like I said, Sharingan vs. Sharingan," I repeated as I ran at Sasuke, who ran at me in response. We began to exchange blows, Sasuke trying to throw several punches toward my face, which I swayed from each punch gracefully. Sasuke ended the barrage of punches by doing a backflip, making him almost three feet away from me. He did several hand signs, the Uchiha inhaling deeply for a moment before unleashing the Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Grand Fireball Jutsu) at me, which I looked at as it homed in. As it did, I increased the chakra flow in my legs, increasing the strength of my feet. I waited until the fireball was completely in my radius before kicking it into the sky, looking up with a satisfied grin as the fireball dispersed in the sky. Sasuke looked up as well, but only for a moment before running back at me again full speed. I punched him in the stomach as he entered my reach, kicking him across the face to send him toppling backward, but he disappeared in a cloud of smoke, being replaced by a log. I looked on with a smirk as I was pegged with a handful of shuriken from above, each shuriken burying itself in a random part of my body. I looked up as Sasuke came down, sending the Katon Housenka (Fire Release: Mythical Fire Flower Jutsu) raining down upon me, followed up by the Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Dragon Fire Skill) down on me as well, causing a fire explosion to occur. Sasuke looked on as the flames seared high in the area I was located in, or so Sasuke thought.
"Hey, underneath you," I whispered as my hand shot out from the earth underneath Sasuke, grabbing his ankle and pulling him underneath. Sasuke struggled violently as I pulled him down, but he was no match for my brute strength. I came up from underground, looking at my handy work. Sasuke's head was the only part of his body showing, the rest was buried underground.
"Taking Kakashi-sensei's move set doesn't make you any more good!" Sasuke shouted as I placed my foot on the top of his head, pressing down with all my might. Sasuke roared in pain as I looked down at his head with my Sharingan activated.
"Go to sleep for a while, you're too loud little boy," I hissed as I placed him under a genjutsu, showing him what Itachi had done to his entire clan. But in my genjutsu, I was with him as well, slaughtering his clan along with the legend himself. I didn't know how long the genjutsu would hold, I wasn't used to using such an advanced genjutsu.
"Well, that's that," I said as I turned to walk back to Minato. "Time to finish off the old man while he's not moving…"
"No… I won't fall for your genjutsu…" Sasuke murmured as he closed his eyes, trying with sheer willpower to break free from the genjutsu.
"Really, now this is unexpected," I stated with a broad grin on my face. "I guess I'm not as good as Itachi-sama when it comes to genjutsu. No matter, he'll teach me soon enough though won't he?"
"I-Itachi is going to teach you how to use the Sharingan?" Sasuke stammered, still trying to break free from the images that were still in his head from the aftermath of the genjutsu. "You bastard…"
"Sorry, I know that must sting being your big brother and all," I apologized, giving Sasuke a big grin. "Don't worry though, I'll tell him you said hello from Heaven alright?"
"You won't need to," Sasuke replied as he pulled himself out the ground. "Tell Itachi I said I told you so when I send you, then him straight to Hell!" Sasuke ran at me once again, me backhanding the Uchiha when he entered my radius, Sasuke rolling around a bit before he laid still.
"Say goodbye Sasuke, this will be a one way trip," I stated as I gathered chakra for a Rasengan in my right hand. "Don't worry though, I'll take good care of Sakura and the village."
"So, this is what my son has been reduced to," a voice remarked behind me, me looking back to see Minato Namikaze once again. I gasped, Sasuke looking at the Kage with widened eyes.
"Is that… the Lord Fourth?" Sasuke asked as he looked at me, then at Minato. "He's your father?"
"Well, look who's talking again somehow," I greeted Minato as I gave him a devilish smile. "I guess Orochimaru didn't do a good enough job of silencing the dead. Don't worry though snake, I'll take care of it…"
Next chapter: The whereabouts of Orochimaru and why Minato is able to talk shall be revealed, as well as the outcome of the battles between Akatsuki and Kage.
