So yeah… Most may have seen the wrong chapter put up and decided that my head should be on a pike because of the little error, which, I had fixed by the way. Anyway, back on track, I have decided to write this chapter up today as a way of saying "sorry" that I had accidently put up the wrong chapter, if you also write fanfiction, you would understand that it is rather easy to fuck up when you have your chapters titled "Ninja" and "Ninja: DxD", yeah, when I put up the chapter files I only have "Ninja" for this one in a way that I will remember that this is the original and first of the soon to be massive "Ninja" collection.
So yeah, now that that's done, I wanted to ask you for your opinion regarding my Naruto's abilities and whether I should actually make Kagumi a threat, when her real purpose is just, before the time skip, to simply appear whenever, or actually make her an enemy.
And with that now out of the way, onto the story people.
1: Why hadn't Naruto taken out Shukaku by killing Garra?
A: Taking into the consideration of 1. The backlash of killing a jinchuuriki, whose bijuu would then reform where Garra had died aside, Naruto simply didn't have the means to kill him as he was swinging on the wire that he wrapped around Garra's waist, along with the fact that he never actually saw Garra do anything, seeing as how he failed at the preliminaries, he would have just thought that he killed an innocent, as far as he is concerned, fractured jinchuuriki. There is a difference between winning a fight and killing someone, so yeah. Then there is also Shukaku himself being able to defend Garra as Naruto was fighting the beast, and then to top it off, Naruto was basically drained of his chakra. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to do much aside from a couple of small jutsu's, the vanishing Rasengan being one of them. Hope that is a decent answer to your question.

Naruto could only stare with eyes full of pity and sadness as he looked towards the two girls huddled up in a corner.
How had this happened? Where was Anko? Hell, where the hell were they? Well, aside from underground and in a forest outside of konoha…
Staring towards the two girls, Naruto quickly gulped slightly, sending the saliva within his mouth down his throat before turning his eyes to the still smirking head.
Walking forward, with Satsuki and Sasame continuing to keep their blood soaked eyes on him, Naruto lifted his foot up…
Before stomping down onto the face, cracking and shattering the skull beneath his sandal before setting the remains beneath his feet on fire.
He wouldn't move his foot until the head was gone, he would not let either of them see his, or his doppelgangers head smashed in.
And thanks to his control, the head was gone soon after, the bones having been both crushed and melted onto the floor.
Stepping over the rest of the body, Naruto began to slowly walk towards the two girls, mentally wincing as he watched the fear within their eyes grow with each step he took towards them.
"P-please… Don't hurt us!" Shouted Satsuki, her red eyes continuing to spill blood out of their sockets in a replacement for tears, with Sasame doing the same.
Ignoring their pain filled screams, Naruto walked up to them before lowering himself into a crouch.
"Satsuki… Sasame… Are you- …. No… What happened to you two… Where is Anko-sensei?" Muttered Naruto softly, his crimson eyes gaining a small shine to them as he stared at his two friends.
The two could only let out a whimper as they backed themselves into the corner even more.
Seeing this, Naruto reached out his hands slowly, giving the two time to react before he reached over and held their hands within his own.
The atmosphere was suffocating him, just the sadness and fear he felt was enough, but mix in the whole dead body and mysterious vibe he was getting from the area, he could feel a shiver begin to work its way up his spine.
Gently grabbing the two girl's hands, Naruto slowly began to stand, dragging the two up with him.
He had to get them out of here… But he didn't know the state of the attack outside…
Shit…
Staring at the two, Naruto couldn't help but narrow his eyes internally.
He was stuck in a village wide attack, he found his two friends with their sensei missing, probably for a long time and had been tortured from what he had seen when he had peered into other rooms on his way to the shouts.
Of course, he could be wrong and they had simply been stuck in this room subjected to killing his look-a-like.
But why? Was it for the eyes that seemed similar to the sharingan? There was the whole red eyes and all, but the design was different.
Satsuki's appeared like a bird's eye view of a rose while Sasame's is shaped like a four pointed star shuriken.
Shaking the thoughts off, Naruto glanced down towards his pouch before looking back up towards the two girls and gentle giving the two a soft squeeze before moving a single hand down into his pouch and pulling out a small bottle.
These were chakra pills…
Popping the lid of the bottle, Naruto brought the bottle up to his lips before tipping it slightly, sending a single pill into his mouth before quickly moving it away from his face and shutting the lid with a flick of his free hand.
Swallowing the pill, Naruto mentally began the countdown that the pill needed before it took its affect.
He still had a battle to help in, and he wasn't going to be able to protect the two.
But while he was needed to help konoha… He wasn't leaving the two down here.
Removing his other hand from the girls, Naruto brought them up to his chest.
"Kage bunshin" Muttered Naruto softly, causing to puffs of smoke to appear behind him.
Tilting his head back and giving a small nod, the two clones moved forward.
Only to watch as the two girls gained fear within their eyes once more as they took a small step away from Naruto and his clones.
Mentally releasing a sigh, Naruto moved forwards, his clones standing by and watching as their boss now stood in front of the two terrified women.
Raising his hands up towards the two, causing them to shut their eyes and tuck their heads in, Naruto gave a small sad smile before placing his palms onto their foreheads, brushing some of the hair that covered their foreheads.
And like that, Naruto sent his chakra in. A range of emotions hit him all at once, doubled by the fact that there was two of them.
And using his newly incomplete link, Naruto brought the two to his chest before giving them a hug, a small sorrowful smile tugging onto his face as he stared into the darkness behind them.
"… I'm sorry I wasn't there… But now… I will do as I should have done as a friend… Satsuki… Sasame… I promise… I won't let you get hurt like that again… So… Sleep and get some rest…" Muttered Naruto softly as the hands that had maneuverer themselves to surround both girls neck had sent a small jolt of electricity, knocking the two unconscious within Naruto's arms.
Getting his clones attention, Naruto watched as the two gave a sorrowful stare towards the two before nodding and disappearing within a shunshin.
Holding his head down for a few more moments, Naruto released a small sigh.
Their pain was nothing like Kurama's, but it was heartbreaking. The large amount of fear and sadness rang through his body like a tidal wave without any stop.
But he had to push those feelings down… Or at least till konoha won their battle…
And they will win.
"… G-good… J-j-job… K-k-kid… Mind giving… M-me… A hand… H-here…" Came out a ragged voice behind him. Turning his head slightly in shock, Naruto widened his eyes as he looked towards another door that had a larger viewing glass than the one Satsuki and Sasame had.
When Naruto had looked within the room however, the only sight he got was that of a man chained to the wall with multiple fuinjutsu seals wrapped around the chains.
But what shocked Naruto wasn't the fact that there was another person there…
But it was rather that he was looking at the face of a shinobi known world-wide and within the bingo book…
Shisui Uchiha… One of the Uchiha clan's greatest shinobi.
Narrowing his eyes, Naruto quickly sent a single hand towards the doors nob, only to rip his hand away as raiton chakra rang throughout his hand.
Looking back towards the person within the room, Naruto sent them a nod.
"Don't worry, I'll get you out of there." Muttered Naruto as he sent a small bit of chakra into his right hand before punching the solid metal door, which now had a gaping hole the size of a fist as Naruto's hand pierced through the metal.
The Uchiha chained to the wall couldn't help but let out a small muffled whistle.
"W-wind… Release huh? G-gotta say… Y-you sure as h-hell know how… To use it..." Muttered Shisui once more as his head was looking towards the ground with a small grin on his face.
Ignoring the comment, which had made him beam, Naruto proceeded to rip the door out of the frame it was in before dropping it to his side with the chakra releasing from his right hand as he began to make his way into the room, only to stop in his steps as he took sight of multiple fuinjutsu marks spread out along the floor leading towards Shisui.
"… Fuck…" Muttered Naruto as he crouched down on his feet before pulling another scroll out from his pouches, which then was used to unseal a small bottle and a fuinjutsu pen.
Looking around the marks, Naruto could only twitch as his mind rang through his experience within his mindscape.
"… Locking seal, explosive seal, implosion seal and a medium grade hypnosis seal… Basically making whoever steps onto the fuin's become a suicide puppet that can be activated when requested… But because of the hypnosis seal is only medium grade, the user has a chance to free themselves once hypnotised… Only to blow up due to the hidden death seal printed on the centre of the implosion seal… Seriously, this is something that would make most fuinjutsu practioners simply smack themselves on the forehead for how easily identifiable it is. No fake seals, no crossover seals and no form of linking method to spontaneously activate if something goes wrong… Wow… being able to just go from trial and error really give you a perspective of how stupid some are." Muttered Naruto as he slowly began to draw on the palm of his left hand.
It took a minute, but he finished the seal. Sending a small pulse to his hand, Naruto gave himself a nod as the black ink began to glow a cool blue shade before slamming it down onto the floor where the seals then began to break down as they battled.
Sealing his supplies back into his pouch, Naruto moved forwards towards the chained Uchiha before moving his head up slightly, only to widen his eyes as he saw the bone like face of the Uchiha from up close.
Originally when he saw Shisui's face from the door, he couldn't notice how… Bony it looked and how he seemed so close to a death like state.
But now… The tired eyes of the Uchiha stared at him with a small spark within them.
Giving the shocked teen a grin, the Uchiha couldn't help but lightly chuckle.
"… Seen better days haven't I kid? Guess… I should have pu-put moisturiser on today…" Muttered the man with a grin, which to Naruto was freaky as hell as his skull wasn't all that hard to see from how bony the man's face was.
However, before the teen could say anything the man's eyes instantly snapped into a red colour with a special interior before it began to spin.
"Kotoamatsukami" Muttered Shisui.
(World of Kotoamatsukami)
Snapping his eyes wide open, Naruto couldn't help but gasp in shock as he saw he was back in his mindscape, or what appeared to be a red and black version of it.
"What the hell?" Muttered Naruto, only to come upon the sight of a now healthy looking Shisui looking around with a look of awe.
"Gotta hand it to the kid, he sure does know how to make a place look amazing, even if I added to it a bit." Muttered the Uchiha, ignoring the teen behind him.
Gaining a small twitch in his right eye, Naruto lifted a single finger to point at the man.
"You know I'm right here right?" Asked Naruto, causing the slightly awestruck Shisui to turn towards him with a slight widening of his eyes before chuckling.
"Oh right, sorry. Guess the fact that I barely had any chakra left, let alone energy, had made my Kotoamatsukami a bit weaker than normal… Oh well…" Muttered the teen as he walked up to Naruto and lowered himself slightly, causing the two to become eye level as Shisui gave him a grin.
"Thanks Naruto for the save, gotta admit, I was kinda losing all hope with being trapped down there." Replied Shisui, the ever growing smile stretching further on his face as he pat Naruto on the head, gaining another small twitch on his face.
However, before Naruto said anything, the image of Shisui's unique eye appeared on a moon that also phased into existence in the sky above.
And like that, Naruto's eyes gained a new appearance, similar to Shisui's own set of eyes.
Giving himself a nod, Shisui sat himself down onto his back before releasing a small tired sigh as he looked up towards the sky.
"Naruto, I command you to follow the power of Kotoamatsukami and give my eyes, the mangekyou sharingan towards Itachi, or even at least one of them at all cost. Had you been able to keep both eyes safe, I command you to use the other in any way that it would benefit and protect the village. However, should you turn rogue, the Kotoamatsukami will cause you to give my eyes towards hokage-sama, Minato Namikaze, before forcing you to commit suicide before you do anything to destroy the village. Once you have gained my eyes, you will burn my body and make sure that the one who captured me will not be able to use my decaying and dying body to his wishes. Do you understand?" Asked the teen, gaining a nod from the blank eyed genin, causing the older Nin to give a nod from his own as he raised his fingers up towards the sky.
"In return for doing this, I will give you the location of the scroll that contains my notes on genjutsu and my shunshin. Aside from that, there isn't anything else I am willing to give. Thank you." Muttered Shisui as he snapped his fingers, sending the world of Kotoamatsukami crashing down around him.
And with a final smile, the world blinked out of existence.
(Reality)
Blinking his eyes back to reality, Naruto suddenly shot his hand towards his waist pouch, pulling out a single kunai before bringing it up towards the now asleep Shisui before closing his eyes.
"Shisui Uchiha, you were a hero to konoha and I pains me to do this…" Muttered Naruto, a buzzing in the back of his scalp causing him to twitch his left eye slightly before shrugging it off.
"Rest in peace Shisui." Finished Naruto, slicing the throat of the now dead ninja before placing his bloodied kunai into his hip pouch before grabbing a sealing scroll.
Unwrapping the scroll and summoning a jar, Naruto placed a single palm above the empty jar before using his water release to fill it up to the brim.
Seeing that he was now prepared, Naruto moved both hands towards Shisui's eyes before gently pulling them out from his eye sockets, the eyes not being all that damaged as the connection to their original host's body was severed.
Placing the eyes down into the water bowl below, Naruto quickly sealed the jar lid before sealing the entire thing within his original sealing scroll.
Once he was done, Naruto moved the scroll into his pouch before placing his hands into a single handsign.
"Fire style: great fireball." Muttered Naruto as he let out a massive flamethrower like flame, which, was morphed into the form from the original fireball that comes with the jutsu.
It didn't take long for the body to be burned to a crisp.
Pulling out a small bundle of explosive tags, Naruto began to place each tag around the room before walking away and exiting the way he entered.
He should probably tell the hokage about this little base… But not before dealing some damage and making sure nothing of Shisui's body can be used.
Jumping through the massive hole he had created from when he originally entered, Naruto gave himself a fair bit of distance before activating the seals, causing an explosion to rock through the ground before falling silent a few moments later.
Seeing as how he had done his job, Naruto narrowed his eyes before dashing towards the village with a determination.
He would make sure that he would protect his village!
Sadly, Naruto could only suddenly trip and skid across the ground as he held his head as he felt a rush of memories invade his head.
"Nice place you got here…. HAHAHAHAHA!"
And that's it from here. Yeah, still the konoha crush part I know. But, I am trying to make this story a bit more… Story-ish and you know, entertaining and stuff. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it, once more, sorry for the whole placing the wrong chapter up and I will see you all later!
