Still don't own Naruto
Chapter 23 Naruto and Asuma. The Fuuton Tag team!
Naruto and his team made there out of the Hokage's office and split up to collect what they will needed for there mission.
Naruto entered his small one bedroom apartment, instantly he could sense there was someone else in there with the blond. Extending his sensory perception he had gained from his mastery of sage mode he discovered 4 life signs all female in his bedroom.
'oh please don't be fan girls, please don't be fan girls, please don't be fan girls,' he begged as he opened his bedroom door.
Naruto's eyes widened as he was successfully hugged by four of he more fanatical fan girls, freeing himself with a Kawaramii with a nearby pillow the blond began to sweat 'FUCK, fan girls how do I deal with them, I cant hurt them... well maybe a little... no that's wrong bad Naruto I guess I will just have to trick them' he thought quickly coming up with a plan.
Naruto went over to the window backing away from the increasingly hungry looking girls, he made a seal less shadow clone just outside before substituting with it. The blond watched with some interest as his clone pretended to flirt with the harem of women who had made there way into his home, taking them outside the real Naruto jumped back in, locked the door and began setting up seals to keep unwanted people away.
As soon as his apartment was sufficiently secure Naruto made another clone that dispersed immediately, informing the first that it was now safe to dispel. Moment's later angry cat calls could be heard several blocks away.
'phew that was a close one, if I knew I would be this popular today I would have made precautions last night' Naruto thought with a sweat drop. He had realized the truth about his heritage would make him liked a lot more but this was a bit much.
Quickly packing enough for a two week mission, Naruto gave the apartment one last check over to make sure his seals were working before leaving via the window to meet up with his team.
(Unknown Location)
Pein was standing alone at the top of a tower, rain was falling all around him as he looked out over his kingdom. Turning slowly he felt a presence appear behind him.
"Ah Zetsu have you gathered any information on the Kyuubi jinchuuriki" Pein asked
"Yes leader-sama I watched his fight with Sasori, if you could call it that he seemed to dispose of the puppet master with ease. We also found some rather interesting news out of Konoha" Zetsu said
"What is it, we need all the information we can get on him, he has become far to strong, we need to think and act carefully around the boy" Pein said
"It appears that Naruto Uzumaki was not his full name. His full name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the brat is the son of the Yondaime Hokage, it is no wonder he became so strong" Zetsu said
"His name doesn't concern me, what can you tell me about his skill's" Pein said
"Well from his battle with Sasori, we have found that he possesses great mastery at long and mid ranged Fuuton jutsu, not opting to use it in close range" Zetsu said pausing to let his leader take in the information.
"What else, there is no way he could beat Sasori with just Fuuton Jutsu" pein ordered
"As we already know he is an expert in the Kagebushin no jutsu and the Rasengan and has made at least one variant, the Oodoma Rasengan, finally he has not used one ounce of demonic chakra yet, apart from what naturally flows through his body... instead he seems to be drawing energy from nature" the plant told his boss.
"So, he's a sage" Pein said, rain starting to fall faster and heavier fueled by his rage.
"what does that mean leader-sama" the black half asked
"My former sensei Jiraiya once claimed to be training in a special kind of jutsu, senjutsu." Pein said
(Flashback)
In a small cabin in the outskirts of Ame three orphaned children were training to be able to defend themselves.
"I wish Jiraiya sensei was here, why does he always have to leave us, for day's on end" a small boy with dark red hair said.
"All he ever tells us is that he has special training to do" a girl with a paper rose in her hair said, folding some origami paper into a kunai and throwing it, imbedding deep into its target she went and retrieved her handy work.
"Heh I say we gang up on him and force him to tell us what he is doing when he gets back" the final boy said enthusiastically, he had orange spiky hair
"Yeah lets do it, I'm in what about you Konan" the red headed boy said
"Well I guess I will do it if you and Yahiko are going to go through with it anyway" Konan said, not wanting to pressure her sensei but at the same time, wanting to find out what his special training was for.
The three orphans from Ame, waited and planned until they came up with a plan so evil, even kami himself would be powerless against it.
Jiraiya appeared in a clearing, he looked down over the small cabin that he had built for the three orphans he was teaching. The future toad sage slowly made his way towards the cabin, and the trap that was set waiting for him.
The door opened and Jiraiya walked in, to find his three students sitting around a table in hushed discussion. "Hey ya kiddo's I'm back for a few days" the white haired man said loudly, his students only looked at each other and gave a nod before they all stood up and ran over to there teacher.
"Jiraiya sensei, we want to know what you are training in that is so special you need to leave us here, to go learn it for days on end" Yahiko said
"I cant tell you because the training I am doing is very dangerous and can only be taught by a very special group" Jiraiya said
"Fine! If you want to play it that way... Konan NOW!" Nagato ordered
Konan walked up her eyes big a saucers hands folded in front of her face pleadingly "Pweese Jiwaiwa sensei" she asked in the cutest voice she could. Nagato and Yahiko joined there friend and fellow orphan in using the most, diabolical of Jutsu.
'Oh fuck, its the puppy eyes Jutsu, and they are all using it... must...resist... cuteness' but it was no use. Jiraiya was gone the moment they had sprung the trap.
"Ok fine I will tell you, but I must warn you that if you attempt this training, you will die" Jiraiya said making sure his students understood before continuing. "The Ninja art I am training in is not Nin, Tai, Gen, or even Ken, jutsu... It is the ability to take energy from the nature around you and harness it, its known as senjutsu. This ability, should I be able to use it will make me the first sage in almost 200 years" Jiraiya said proud of himself.
"But why is it so dangerous Jiraiya sensei" Yahiko asked
"I'm glad you asked Yahiko, you see if you make a mistake, or you get the balance wrong you will turn into a toad statue, it is not something you want to have happen to you" Jiraiya informed the group who were listening intently.
"How will you know if you have the balance right sensei" Konan asked curious to find out more
"Well my sensei's tell me that if I get the process right my eyes will become yellow and bar like and red markings will appear around my eye's" Jiraiya said "now that's enough about me, tell me how your training is coming along. After that the orphans began talking about what they had done in there training.
(Flashback End)
"I never saw Jiraiya sensei use his sage mode but the way he described it, and with your description of the Kyuubi jinchuuriki, I have little doubt, he is a sage" Pein said seething with anger, he would prove to be a most difficult one to capture.
"What do you plan to do about him leader-sama, its evident from the fight that Itachi and Kisame may even fail in capturing him." Zetsu said
"We will leave him for now, he has to be sealed last and that will not change but we must warn the others about engaging the boy... you are dismissed Zetsu" Pein said turning around to gaze back out into the rain, Zetsu slowly disappearing from the floor
"I gather you heard everything" Pein said when Zetsu had left.
"Yes the boy is a rather large obstacle, that stands in our way, but it wont matter in the end. After all sage or not he is still just a boy and you, as you have said so many times before are, a god!" Came a voice from behind him in the shadows.
(Back in Konoha)
Naruto was running a little late having to deal with fan girls and civilians begging you for forgiveness or to marry them could do that to someone. Dropping down at the west gate where they had agreed to meet Naruto saw his team waiting for him, with the addition of Kurenai sensei, and Naruto's sensors were picking up somebody else, it was weak but there was another life sign in the group.
"Hey guys, sorry about the being late, fan girls belong in the deepest pits of hell" the blond sighed
"Well well if it isn't young Naruto, now normally I would agree with you but at the moment I would say that looking exactly like your father and knowing who you are they probably cant help themselves" said Kurenai.
"Geez thanks for the support Kurenai sensei, oh and congratulations are in order I believe, considering the extra life you are holding" Naruto said casually
"How, how did know we haven't even told anyone yet" Kurenai said, looking at an equally shocked Asuma who made it clear he did not tell the boy.
"Oh you see with my sage training I had to learn to feel all of nature around me, and that means I can sense where there is life and right now I am getting two readings from you" Naruto said in a factual tone, "um I'm sorry if it was meant to be a secret, I didn't know please forgive me" Naruto said
"It's alright I was going to start telling people soon anyway, wont be able to hide it for long at the moment though, only Tsunade-sama, Asuma, you, myself and now... Yamato here, are aware, but as you are leaving the village for a mission I will just have to get busy so my friends don't here it from one of you" Kurenai said with a small smile.
"Alright, well we better be off, got a long trip ahead of us to get to Kumo" Asuma said picking up his back pack and leading the team out the gate's on the road to Kumo.
(Two Days later)
The trip to Kumo had so far been uneventful but they were now passing through Rice country, well known location for several bases of Orochimaru.
The group slowed there pace and lowered there chakra signatures traveling through this land, not wanting to be discovered by enemy sound nins. But sometimes no matter what precaution's you take, you can find yourself drawn into a fight.
Naruto jumped up over a hill, followed by his team and they gazed down upon what looked like a team of Samurai from Iron country involved in a skirmish with large numbers of Oto ninja. The Samurai were protecting a large caravan and being assaulted by. Wave upon wave of Oto ninja.
"We have to help those samurai, if Orochimaru wants what is in that caravan then letting him get it is bad news for Konoha" Naruto said taking out a kunai and awaiting orders from Asuma.
"Your right, for the safety of Konoha we need to help them... its time I get to see your skills, hey Namikaze" Asuma said almost looking eager to join the fight, his cigarette never falling from his mouth as a smile graced his face.
The three leaf ninja charged down the hill at full speed Naruto arriving first he slit the throat of two chunin before sending a small blast of wind from his palm knocking several of the approaching ninja into the air.
Asuma saw the flying Oto shinobi and took advantage, pushing chakra into his trench knives asuma jumped up and in what appeared to be one swift movement cut through the his targets, that Naruto had sent flying.
"I'm winning kid, that's your two to my six, and Yamato has one" Asuma said neatly slicing through the sword of an on rushing Oto chunin, before removing his head from the body. "Make that 7"
Not one to be out done so easily Naruto quickly drew out two of his mini shuriken, seeing another group of on rushing Oto ninja, Naruto sent the small blade's flying towards them.
The closest of the ninja could see two small dot's flying towards him deciding they were easy to doge casually stepped to the side and waited sending a taunting look to the blond who threw them... the blond however just casually brought up his fingers up and shouted "Fuuton: Shuriken Wind Blade" he then clicked his fingers and long blades of wind extended out from the miniature projectiles.
Asuma turned when he heard the name of an unfamiliar Wind release Jutsu, and looked on in awe as he saw the tiny almost invisible disks expand and cut through a large group of around 15 enemy ninja.
"Who's wining now Asuma Sensei" Naruto taunted, the face on the elder Fuuton master was priceless, he had known of shuriken that could expand with wind chakra but to be used to expand mid throw was amazing.
"well see about that... but your teaching me that jutsu when this is over" Asuma called out.
The Samurai who was guarding the the caravan looked on in awe at the skill at which the ninja dispatched there opponents. while the Samurai did not use jutsu, they were more than capable to use chakra often focusing it in there blade's, they was masters at kenjutsu only matched by the legendary seven swordsmen of the mist. While they could hold off ninja even best them often, the Samurai were breathing a sigh of relief that these leaf ninja came to join the fight, however they were still weary in case they too wanted there cargo.
As the fight drew on it became clear that while both Asuma and Naruto were clearly Fuuton Master's, there styles were insanely different, Asuma would favor his knives and close range Fuuton attacks, while Naruto would send long ranged high level destructive jutsu to decimate the numbers and favored taijutsu or clones up close, most likely due to the fact in sage mode it was a superior weapon. Poor Yamato barely had to do anything, and he just sat and watched with the rest of the samurai as the pair effortlessly tore apart there opponents, Naruto thinning them out, and Asuma finishing the survivors off with deadly efficiency.
Soon there were only a small number of Oto ninja left and they surrounded the pair separately, both Naruto and Asuma found them selves facing six remaining Oto ninja each.
"Shall we?" Naruto asked with a smirk
"Heh why not" came Asuma's reply
Both Wind users took a low stance and Naruto took out a knife just like the one he gave to Iruka "Spinning Wind Cutter" both called out at the same time and identical movements saw a small almost invisible blade of wind extend out as the pair spun, there final opponents didn't know what hit them, they all looked down in unison to see deep cuts appear on there chests, arms, and where ever else they had the misfortune of being struck buy the spinning blade.
When Naruto and Asuma finally came to a stop they were in the same stance exactly as they had began the jutsu, the separate groups of sound ninja, just slowly swayed before they collapsed in a heap of bloody mess.
"Aw man theres blood everywhere, at least I didn't where my white coat, red hides the blood much easier so I wont have to be spending hours washing it" Naruto complained as he stepped away from the circle of bodies stacked around him.
"Yeah you get that, its why I wear black... so how did you do?" Asuma asked. His cigarette still lit and in his mouth.
"57... you?" the blond replied
"Got you by four I got 61" The Sarutobi said smugly "Hey Yamato, how did you do"
"Eh I got um, 12" the Mokuton user said slightly embarrassed at being beaten so badly.
The group lightly cleaned themselves off, then they walked to check on the Samurai who were still in a defensive formation around there caravan.
"Hey come on relax guys, we don't mean any harm, we just came to check to see if you were all alright." the blond said happily
relaxing slightly an older Samurai stepped forward "thank you for your assistance Konoha Shinobi my name is Rifu and we are transporting this shipment of metal and weapons to the land of Iron"
"Metal to the land of Iron huh, that explains why Orochimaru wanted it enough to send over 100 men to come and take it. Samurai metal that is used there is highly chakra conductive, in fact my trench knives were a gift from Mifune-sama, when I was in the 12 guardian's we became friends and after he observed my fighting style offered me these as a token of his friendship" Asuma said handing out one of his knives for the elder Samurai to inspect.
"These indeed do have the mark of Mifune-sama on them as well as the sign on the land of fire, may I ask a favor... can you aid us in reaching the border, there should be no more trouble but it would be safer if you accompanied us" the elder Samurai Rifu said, the mark of Mifune had made Asuma immediately trustworthy to the older man.
"Why not we are heading in that direction anyway, and it there will be safety in number's" Asuma said and the group of ninja and samurai left together.
There had been several more small ambushes set up for the caravan on there way out of Oto but nothing that wasn't dealt with swiftly, upon coming to the border the group split up with the Ninja heading towards the mountainous region of the land of lightening while the caravan headed towards a large mountain that looked like three wolf heads.
(Kumo One Day Later)
Naruto and his group had been climbing for hours the clouds making vision difficult, eventually they rose above the thick cloud layer and Naruto saw Kumo for the first time.
To Naruto, Kumo seemed as different to Konoha as Suna had been, giant pillars that were mountaintops were turned into buildings, and there seemed to be a natural wall of earth from the mountain surrounding the city.
Coming to the gate's there were two darkly tanned chunin sitting looking bored. 'I wonder if every hidden village has a pair of poor saps who are always stuck on guard duty' Naruto thought thinking about Izumo and Kotetsu back home and the Suna pair that had been on the sand walls when he had arrived and left Suna.
"Asuma, Sarutobi along with Naruto Namikaze and Anbu captain, code name Yamato, here to Deliver a report, and intelligence to the Raikage" Asuma said
Stamping the passports they let the group of leaf ninja into the village being escorted straight to the Kage tower.
"Did you see that kid" one of the guards asked
"Yeah I mean a Namikaze, who would of thought the yellow flash would have had surviving family, and judging by the look of him there closely related as well" the other responded watching the group being led to there meeting with the Raikage.
A, the current Raikage was sitting at his desk when a messenger came in, Raikage-sama a team of Konoha shinobi are here to deliver the information on the retrieval of the Kazekage" the tall darkly tanned woman with pure white hair tied back in a bun said
"Very well send them in" he waved his secretary away "Yugito-chan you work with Konoha often I want you to stay and tell me what you know about the member's they have sent" A said. It was not that he didn't trust Konoha not to break there agreement but he was always a very strict secretive man who believed in his own strength and wanted to know more about who entered into his village.
The door opened and Asuma walked in followed behind him was something that made Yugito almost visibly jump 'blond hair and those blue eyes... its him... hes back, Naruto-kun' she thought
'My oh my kitten you have hit the jackpot with this one, he looks like a god, I bet you cant wait to take him now' Nibi interjected
'Nibi!, Not now. I cant be thinking these things while in a meeting' Yugito begged her bijuu.
Yugito outside of her inner thoughts had not looked away from the blond and only barely noticed the final member of the group.
"Raikage-sama I, Asuma Sarutobi son of the Sandaime hokage am here to deliver important information regarding the Akatsuki" Asuma said formally
A however after taking the scroll and nodding to Asuma in a friendly manner was staring at Naruto "You, boy, what is your name" A ordered. Asuma tensed a fraction at this knowing Minato and A had clashed in the past and the outcomes were not in the current Raikage's favor.
"Uh me" Naruto asked shocked to be addressed directly
"Yes, you look familiar, and I desire to know who I am meeting with" A said slightly more polite
"Oh ok my name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, son of Kushina Uzumaki and -" "Minato Namikaze, the yellow flash" A finished for the young blond. Shock erupted on Yugito's face and Naruto knew he was going to get it for not telling her.
"You know he was the only person to ever escape me when I used my lightening armor at full strength, and with him gone I am now the fastest person alive... I would like to see what you have got before you leave. You will stay in the village until we have carefully looked over the information and decided upon a reply, the process will take around two weeks" A said still intently looking at the boy.
"Thank you Raikage-sama... um if we may, our team has been requested as back up for a operation to capture a spy in Orochimaru's organization just outside the land of lightening at Tenshi Bridge in two days time we request a short leave of the village to provide our assistance" Asuma asked
"Very well I will allow it. Yugito show them to there hotel room, but I want you back here in an hour"
"yes Raikage-sama" Yugito said and bowed as she escorted the leaf ninja out of the office.
The group walked down the street's in relative quiet the only real interaction was Naruto and Yugito catching each others glaces as they walked. They soon arrived at a large hotel and Asuma and Yamato bowed and began to head to there room.
"eh you guys go ahead I am going to go have a look around a get something to eat" Naruto said not taking his eyes off of Yugito.
"Very well, don't be out to long" Yamato said knowingly
Naruto and Yugito walked in silence for a minute before she grabbed his arm, and yanked him into an empty ally way, slamming her lips against his.
Naruto immediately responded fighting back control from his fellow jinchuuriki he gently, yet powerfully turned them so her back was now against a wall.
Yugito began to unconsciously purr into the kiss as a small moan escaped Naruto's lips, both of them were lost in there own world, only the two of them existed. Yugito slowly lifted her legs and wrapped them around Naruto's waist, now being supported by the wall behind her and the firm chest and abs of the man she desired.
Naruto was in melt down, the isolation from the woman he loved was to much, and he needed to show her just how much he missed her.
Naruto deepened the kiss, slowly licking her lower lip begging for entry. Yugito obliged and brought her own tongue out to meet his own, but instead of fighting him, she gently helped draw it in massaging him as he reacquainted himself with her mouth.
Bringing up his hand the spiky haired blond began slowly kneading his fellow blonds breast only pausing for a second when Yugito, let out, not a moan of pleasure but a cat like mewl.
After what seemed like an eternity, the long lost couple finally broke apart, Yugito desperate not to loose the feeling of complete bliss, followed his slowly retreating lips as long as she could.
"I love you Yugi-chan" Naruto whispered only just loud enough for her to hear
"I love you too my Naru-kun" Yugito said quickly stealing another kiss from the boy she hadn't seen in three long, infuriating year's.
"Whilst I would love to continue this now you have to get back to the Raikage and I'm needed to plan our mission to Tenshi Bridge, when we get back, I will take you where ever you want to go" Naruto said, hating himself at the same time as gently unwrapping her leg's from his waist, hoping his arousal would go down before he was discovered in the ally.
Yugito gave a light hiss as he removed her legs and clung tighter to his neck to show her displeasure of what he was doing, eventually she came to her senses and gave a curt nod "Fine but we are not finished here. Oh and you owe me for not telling me who your father was" she ordered rubbing her forehead against his own as a final sign of affection before they parted.
End Chapter!
Sorry no Lemons just yet not really confident in writing one but I gave that last scene as a teaser.
Anyway tell us what you think did I make the reunion believable, what could I do better, and any suggestions are welcome.
