Naruto and co. looked to the Otogakure no Shinobi Gonin Shu with different expressions: Naruto was smirking bloodthirstily, but his eyes were calculating and critical. Shikamaru's bored expression was a front, as his eyes inspected each member of the Oto-nin with a strategist's expertise. Kiba looked to them with a cocky smirk, while Akamaru was growling at them threateningly. Neji's scowl didn't disappear, but underneath was the Byakugan as he inspected the enemy's coils. Choji looked sternly at them, even though he was unsure of himself concerning his fighting capabilities, he was willing to try with everything he had.
The stare-down was ended as Naruto sent some foxes out of his flak vest, these foxes spread out and vanished from sight, making everyone look at Naruto tensely. The blonde chuunin's smirk broadened to a grin, "Don't worry, just something to shake up the girl..." Tayuya didn't seem angry at the comment, making her frightened teammates look to her in shock, "You're referring to the Duck-Ass hairdo-wearing bitch in the coffin? Yeah, she's kind of a slut for punishment!"
Naruto's grin turned into an honest gesture as he nodded unsurprised, "I know, I beat her into submission in a spar that knocked us all out the other day, and she came to me, asking for a fight! Hahahahaha, and I beat her as into the wall, but here we go again. If I can get to him before you five make it across the border, I'll beat her ass into coming back home! Now, what's your name?"
"Tayuya," Tayuya said this without hesitance or hostility, "Hanakero Tayuya. And who, might I ask, the flying-fuck are you?" Naruto's eyebrows rose in surprise, "Uzumaki Naruto, as your opponent this time...Friend." Tayuya's eyes widened when she heard his surname, "How do I know you're who I say you are?!"
"Knock knock," Naruto looked to her with a casual smirk on his face as she responded, "Who's the-?!" "I just fucked your mother! Hahahahaha!" Naruto's laughing was joined by Tayuya's, "Yep. You're an Uzumaki alright, anyway, time to beat your ass this time. LET'S KICK THEIR ASSES!" As soon as she said that, jagged lines appeared on her body, Kidomaru's skin was was laced with vine-like swirl markings, Sakon and Ukon were covered in messy paint-stroke markings, Jirobo's skin had scattered lines of triangles, and Kimimaro's entire body had lines running up and down it with seemingly no reason behind the marks.
Naruto's eyes slitted and seemed to become sharper as he called out, "SCATTER!" And the retrieval team did just that, as a forest of bones appeared where they'd been standing. Kimimaro had a tail, his eyebrows and cheek bones had become black and crest-like, his forehead become wrinkly and no longer sported his clan's tattoo of two dots over the eyes, and six large bones protruding from his back, and his skin was the definition of ashy. Tayuya sported horns, amber eyes with black sclera, tear-marks that reached her cheek bones while whisker-marks appeared at the edges of her cheeks.
Sakon and Ukon looked like a demon with two heads, one for its respective side of the body. Their foreheads sported a single horn in the center of it, where once were teeth now were fangs, claws instead of hands, the skin of their body was red as bricks and they separated to reveal that the side they didn't have was now a replica of a set of demonic samurai armor. Jirobo's new appearance wasn't as different as the fused-brothers: he had wrinkles on his forehead and under his eyes, there were warts in several areas of his body, and his skin turned into a sunburned red from his average complexion.
Kidomaru looked the most different out of all of them. The dark skin he once had was now a respectable shade of red that would never allow anyone to see a blush on, he now had a literal third eye in the middle of his forehead, his shoulders and elbows were dawned with spikes, his cheeks sucked inward and made his cheekbones plain to see, the black hair he had in a spiky ponytail was now an attempt to control a cinnamon-colored Afro, and his temples had horns sprouting from them. On Kidomaru's back was a bow that looked too big for someone of his body size to use, until he added in his extra arms and held the string in his fanged mouth.
Jirobo made handseals that the group from Konoha, didn't recognize right away until they were caught in a wall as they were still in the air from the jump. The wall enclosed in on them, separating them from the outside world and leaving them no light to see, except for the four who could see in the dark. Neji, Naruto, Kiba and Akamaru looked to each other sternly, expecting one of them to come up with something until Kiba got onto all-fours and spun, "Tsuga!"
The spinning teenager flew through the air and hit at random spots as Akamaru soon joined in while Kiba called out, "Gaatsuga!" Naruto then placed himself in a quadrupedal crouch before leaping forward and spinning in midair, yelling, "TSURGA!" Some foxes from earlier came through the floor and joined in the destruction with Naruto as he screamed out with a demonic voice, "BAATSURGA!" Naruto and the foxes then began to travel the inner circumference in a spiral fashion moving upward, soon followed by Kiba and Akamaru. When the five cyclones reached the top of the dome at the center, they joined together into a single, giant twister as they said in unison, "BAGAATSUGURA!" The damage was done, as they fell to the floor of the dome exhausted, when they saw the mark in the center began to regenerate in a spiral symbol.
Naruto looked at it with an interested look on his face, only seen by those who could see in the dark, as he looked at it like a child looks at a parent telling a story. He then jumped on his suddenly-there-in-puffs-of-smoke kage bunshins' gather hands. When he reached the spiral-regenerating of the dome, he placed a claw in the spiral, making his finger move with the earth while he didn't fall back down..."This is a separate world, hahahahaha. Genius! A jutsu that creates a completely solitary world, all its own, and is sustained by THE CHAKRA OF THOSE WHO RESIDE IN IT! ABSOLUTELY GENIUS! What jutsu is this, Fatso?!"
Choji flinched at the word, believing it to be directed at him when he felt a hand on his shoulder, that shook in a way he figured out to be a shake of the head. Jirobo's voice broke through to them, nevermind the stone, without any openings, "...Doton Kekkai: Doro Domu, why?" Naruto chuckled insanely, "My clan, and Tayuya's family friends, created jutsu just like or similar to this with seals...THIS IS AN AMAZING JUTSU, DUDE! WHERE'D YOU LEARN IT?!"
Outside of the dome, Jirobo was giving his creation of earth a strange look as he could see through it. Sakon, Ukon, Kidomaru, and Kimimaro looked at each other strangely while Tayuya shook her head and smiled at the antics of the descendant of her family's closest friends, "Uzumaki are fuinjutsu gods, Jiribo, this is probably the closest thing he's seen to a seal in his life more than likely, seeing as Konoha's sealmaster is rarely ever there."
The voice of Uzumaki Naruto broke that thought, "I've seen plenty of seals! Ero-Sennin, A.K.A. Jiraiya of the Sannin, is my godfather...I feel like I just gave Konoha's laws the finger...I feel fulfilled, now! I'm also a jinchuuriki, so I've a seal to look at everyday if I'm bored." Naruto resumed his spinning, all the while saying the word 'yow' to the Nyan Cat tune, making Kiba bust a gut on the ground, "THIS GUY'S HILARIOUS!"
The cyclone that Naruto had become began to glow red, shedding some light around the dome. "Neji, use your eyes to find the weak point." As the Hyuuga prodigy did this, Naruto continued to spin around the dome, "There is no weak point, the dome is feeding on our chakra, making it stronger! We are trapped..."
That, was the wrong thing to tell Naruto. For as soon as that was said, he hit the center of the floor and began to drill underneath, "NO WEAK POINT MY GLORIOUS ASS!" The group looked to each other with odd faces, thinking one thing, Glorious ass? They soon followed through Naruto's hole (HAHAHAHAHA) To see him charging the coffin, a rolling buzz-saw-like attack of kunai, senbon and claws. Naruto was soon joined by one of the foxes that had helped in the dome as he called out, "RASHENGA!"
Naruto's demonic edge had left, probably because he had no need of it, as he kept rolling at the coffin before bones impaled his limbs, "You'll not touch the Uchiha, Orochimaru-sama needs him!" Naruto looked at Kimimaro with shock, "SASUKE'S A GUY?! I THOUGHT SASUKE WAS JUST A REALLY FLAT, ASS-LESS, EMO, CHICK!" (I'm not tryin' to offend anyone, but it's too good a chance to pass up to insult Sasuke, HAHAHAHAHA) He received confused stares from most of the shinobi there, minus an equally shocked Tayuya, "So the Uchiha's not a masochistic, slut?! THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE WE KEEPING IT IN THE COFFIN IF IT CAN BE CONSIDERED SO IMPORTANT LIKE THIS?!"
Tayuya's words made the coffin begin to bang around, as if trying to break itself from the inside out. Shikamaru took his chance, "Kage-Kubishibari no Jutsu!" Tayuya was then stock-still, any struggling would make the hand-like tendril of shadow 'flex' its 'fingers' and choke her to death. Naruto went through hand seals with the Moeru Tsume dawned, repeating them verbally out of habit, "Tori, Tatsu, Ne, Tora, Uma, U, Hitsuji, Tori! AKUTON: AKUMA BURAKKUFUREA NO JUTSU!"
Naruto's shout lead him to open his mouth, as if charging something up. Black sparks began to emanate from his opened mouth, before he fired several firework-like rockets of black fire, "DAMN IT! I wanted to get something like Amaterasu, not black sparking fireworks..." His groaning and staring at the ground in a grumpy fashion distracted him from the trees he'd destroyed from the jutsu. The Otogakure no Shinobi Gonin Shu, minus a Tayuya who was out of the way, were on the ground from dodging Naruto's blasts. (Cue: Skillet-Falling Inside the Black)
Neji stared at Naruto with eyes that screamed, 'WHAT AND WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GET SO STRONG?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!' Kiba and Akamaru were staring at the trees that had been turned into stumps, where small black flames were trying to stay alive, but without Naruto's chakra they snuffed out. Shikamaru and Choji were wide-eyed, concerned and altogether amazed at Naruto's power. The Oto-nin were just surprised that there existed a chakra affinity like the Uchiha's Amaterasu.
"...Naruto?" "Hmm?" Naruto's truly curious tone made the group look at him with very wide eyes, "You do realize how much damage you did, right?!" Kiba's question made Naruto quirk an eyebrow confusedly, making everyone realize, He's actually out of it! "What do you me-HAHAHAHA-HOLY SHIT! I EXPECTED IT TO BE STRONG-HAHAHAHA-BUT NOT THIS STRENGTH WHEN I'VE ONLY JUST MADE IT!"
This sent everyone on high alert, "YOU MADE THAT/THAT?!" (I suck at overlapped dialogue) The question came from everyone, making him nod as Sasuke suddenly exited the coffin, Naruto then gave chase while everyone else was left to fight each other. Jirobo went after Choji, Shikamaru was stuck with Tayuya in the grove, Sakon and Ukon went after the Inuzuka duo, Neji set his sights on Kidomaruand Lee appeared out of the forest fully-healed and ready to kick ass, as he took up a fighting stance with the intent to fight Kimimaro. Naruto made a quick call, "USE THESE IN YOUR JUTSU IF YOU CAN!"
The second they heard that, clones appeared and stood ready to heal or hurt if needed. Kiba yelled to the distancing blonde, "THANKS NARUTO! GOOD LUCK," He left the sentence hanging as Naruto disappeared, "You're not gonna need it, but just in case..." Sakon was suddenly on his shoulder, smiling, making him look at him with wide eyes and a face that said, 'This has got to be a nightmare or I am so fucking high' He then let out a weird noise that sounded like a squeal of fright, a grunt of pain, and shriek of surprise, making Sakon give him a look of great surprise before bursting out in cackles.
The other opponents had taken their fights somewhere else, seeing as they didn't want to get in the way of the other fights and they didn't want interruptions. (Uncue music)
Naruto and Sasuke, Shumatsu no Tani
(Cue: Fall Out Boys-Thanks for the Memories)Naruto's hands flew through seals as he glared at his opponent, Kitsugan blazing at Sujeti Ni, "Tora, Ushi, I, Mi, Hitsuji, Tatsu, Ushi, Saru, U, Ne, Inu, Tora. Majuton: Watashitachi Doho Chi Sakebi no Jutsu! Just enough chakra from me and a little bit of youki should do it..." Naruto's arms were then covered in lacerations, causing blood to leak out, and the blood then began to glow and outlined him with a red aura in the form of a slim and spotted feline. Sasuke saw every hand seal, but his Sharingan wasn't able to copy the jutsu, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? I CAN'T COPY YOUR JUTSU! WHAT ARE YOU!?"
His answer came as a snarl instead of a sentence, alerting him to the jutsu's drawback, "You're incapable of coherent thought..." Sasuke was then clawed by the blood-aura surrounding Naruto. When he was cut, he heard Naruto's voice in his head, "I'm your friend...I'm bringing you back home, to everyone else!" These words were more growls than anything else, but the meaning stood firm, "I'm not going back, that village will only hold me back!"
Naruto ran at him on all-fours, his head was looking down to the water, and his blood-aura took the form of a ram as Sasuke's midsection was headbutted. Seeing that Naruto wasn't going to be going easy on him, he activated the Ten no Fuin, making him change into something he'd never even dreamed of. His skin became coal-touched black, on his nose was a cross that spread under his black sclera eyes, on his back were scaly hand-like wings. Onyx hair was lightened to a brownish black, and his lips looked more feminine, making Naruto 'think' something along the lines of, Gender-swap!
Sasuke then charged at him after he created a small beachball-sized Habataku Chidori in his right hand, obviously not wanting to prolong the inevitable. Naruto, wanted to buy some time before Inu got there, being ordered to by the Council more than likely. One of his clones had dispelled after creating another one, letting him know that the Suna no Sankyodai had arrived to save his team's asses. One of his clones had also discovered that Kimimaro was dying of a sickness, and seeing as he was the last of the Kaguya Ichizoku, Naruto's attitude was very dark as he wasn't about to let another clan go extinct!
(Uncue music. Cue: Fall Out Boys-Dance, Dance)"Sasuke...I don't know if you can hear me, but I don't have time for this!" Naruto entered into his third-tailed fusion form, "Our powers are one and the same now, our spirits seek the same thing...But we are not one, not yet! Die in the Hellfire of OUR HATRED!" Naruto's fox jaw was now more the front of a fox's skull that had begun to become a mask perfectly fitted for his face. His three tails were made of flesh and fur, bloody chakra was flowing through and dripping off of the fur, giving it an evil look. The bloody chakra was at his hind legs, making him look strange but altogether powerful.
He ran at Sasuke, a Shui Rasengan being formed by his three tails for him to take when he got close enough. They clashed, A-rank jutsu versus A-rank jutsu, and it was GLORIOUS! The blast that it made sent a shockwave the entire forest within a mile radius could feel! (They're still young, a mile is a milestone of an achievement for a chunin, LET ALONE A GENIN. So cut 'em some slack) The problem, though, was the blast had sent Naruto flying into the cliffside, hitting his stomach and the seal. Hitting the seal that hard jostled it, knocking him out, the rocks had been 'carved' with chakra and they still radiated a tiny bit, but just enough to knock out the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. Sasuke, on the other hand(-wing) remained airborne and was able to avoid hitting the cliffside.
The retrieval team and the Otogakure no Shinobi Gonin Shu
Feeling Naruto and Sasuke's two attacks clash with one another, the two fighting groups stopped in shock, they'd never felt so much power! Naruto's clones, seeing the opening they needed, ran at the stilled-with-shock Oto-nin and punched their respective cursed seal with chakra claws. This strike caught all of the Oto shinobi off guard, as well as Naruto's teammates. The chakra was absorbed by the seals, like they would do with Orochimaru's senjutsu chakra, but this chakra was Naruto's and the seals were collecting his equivalent of senjutsu chakra: bloody-youki.
They screamed in agony and fell to their knees as Naruto's chakra was controlled by the original in his dreams, as he healed them of their ailments and their insanities. Inside of their mindscapes were rambling, humanoid figures. But in Kimimaro's, were the same Orochimaru-headed globs of vaguely-serpentine flesh as in Sasuke's. Naruto's consciousness felt more and more rage, making the bloody-youki become stronger and causing it to override the senjutsu chakra forcefully sent into their bodies.(Uncue music)
The clones had their hands pressed to the seals of their respective subject, and they all saw what the consciousness did, making them roar in anguish, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Not only had the descendant of one of his clan's closest family-friends been tormented by this chakra and its origin, it had even used her physically and made these once innocent kids, monsters! Driving Naruto to awaken, as Sasuke had already left after the blast, and run to the retrieval team and the downed Otogakure no Shinobi Gonin Shu.
He landed in the clearing where his clones gathered the Oto-nin, and they dispelled, as he gathered his bloody-youki. Its bloodiness was a representation of his human chakra tainting the once raw youki, or as Kyuubi had said it, 'Your human filth tainting my pure, raw, youki'. Naruto's hatred and rage kept growing as he looked to the now contentedly-resting faces of each of the Sound Five, all he wanted to do was give into his madness and destroy Orochimaru and everything he'd done! The others saw that he hadn't left his three-tailed fusion form, making them uneasy, getting the Suna no Sankyoudai take up defensive stances around Naruto in case he lashed out.
"I hate that Teme! When I find...WHEN I FIND HIM, I'M GONNA KILL HIM! I WILL BATH IN HIS BLOOD AND EAT HIS ROTTING CORPSE! HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE EATEN WARM! HE WILL DIE AND ALL THOSE WHO HE'S HARMED WILL BE FREE FROM HIS TORTURE, DATTEBOYO!" Naruto's breathing was heavy, he was fighting off so much hatred and bloodlust that the others could taste the blood and ghost peppers that represented his bloodthirst.
This was the scene Kakashi walked in on with Anko following to make sure her Gaki was alright. They saw the downed Oto shinobi and watched them revert to their normal forms, horns and bones merging with bone and marrow. Anko's eyes narrowed when they laid on the cursed marks on their necks, making her own begin to spread to the rest of her body. Naruto's anger wasn't being kept silent this time, he let loose a primal roar that could be heard from Konoha. Anko calmed down as much as she could, her Gaki needed her and she wasn't going to let him carry this pain alone anymore.
"It's okay Gaki, let it all out..." The answer she got was more roaring, the Kyuubi's voice was loud as it allowed Naruto's hatred to be heard in his name. Each roar was louder, deeper, angrier, heavier, stronger, eviller, more pain-filled. And Anko held onto him, not letting him go, even as he roared right next to her ear as her head was on his shoulder.
The Suna no Sankyoudai lowered their guard, making a metal dome fold around Gaara, "Gaara!" Temari's concerned voice brought Naruto back as he rushed out of Anko's arms and began attacking the metal contraption. Out of the woods walked four shinobi, seeing as they had hitae-ate on their foreheads, with weapons that no one recognized and a Suna kunoichi in ropes.
"Matsuri/Matsuri!?" Temari and Kankuro's call of recognition made Naruto and co. look to the four strangers, well, Naruto glared at them and charged while the others tried to figure out what was going on. Naruto's premature charge was met with cocky smirks and a tri-bladed sword extending into three dragons that hit him halfway, restraining him in the process. Anko glared at them, seeing Naruto struggle with the dragon-sword, she asked, "Who the Hell are you people and why'd you put Gaara in the metal dome?!"
She received the same cocky smirks from them as the female member of the kidnappers said, "I'm Kujaku, and we're the Shitenshonin! We're here to resurrect our village's founder, Seimei, and to do that we need the Shukaku's power. We brought the girl," She jerked a thumb at Matsuri, "As insurance. Now, let us get what we want and we'll let you, and your friend over there, live!" She was slender, fair skinned, her hair was mostly dark green aside from the two light yellow-striped bangs in the front, light brown eyes with no pupils, and she wore light red lipstick on her full lips. Her attire was a jacket with a furry tuft around her neck, but under was what appeared to be a red dress. Under her sleeveless jacket were a pair swords, judging by the two sword-like bulges on her left side. Her gloves were brown and uninteresting.
Naruto's growl was all this young woman got as an answer, "You'd go for the weakest of the jinchuuriki...Cowards! I'll skin your hides, you took someone he held precious hostage and now you dare to play PEACEKEEPER! I AM THE STRONGEST JINCHUURIKI! I HOLD THE STRONGEST OF THE NINE! I'm the one you reeeeaaaalllllyyyy want!" Her eyes widened as she took note of the vulpine qualities of his fusion form, "Y-y-y-y-you're t-t-t-t-t-the K-!" "Don't speak that name! Not around the children...Peacock. Hahahahaha, fitting name, it really is! You're showing your 'eyed' feathers as a threat, but really, you're nothing but a bird looking for survival."
The dragon heads left Naruto, letting him crouch and catch his breath, as the blue haired wielder of the tri-sword spoke, "What are you babbling about?! Are you going to insult our village like the rest of the hidden villages!?" Kakashi's single uncovered eye looked to the slender boy with pupilless green eyes and blue eye-shadow, "You're from Takumi no Sato of Kawa no Kuni...I see why you wish to resurrect Seimei now. You want your village to survive, and to do that you need to bring out the strongest weapon users you've had or have. So, you took a chance to invade a stronger village and kidnap a chunin's friend,"
Matsuri spoke up, "Student!" Kakashi's eye widened in surprise, "Student!? Well well, my mistake. Anyway, you could have asked Gaara for the chakra you need to resurrect Seimei, I've heard of his prowess and exploits. Gaara was a bloodthirsty killing machine before the Chunin Exams, he still is, but he reasons more and I know that he'd have at least considered it if he was asked. I mean, after all, he wouldn't have taken on a student if he wasn't willing to consider other options. Naruto, here, was aggressive to my other two students when they first started out, and he hated me!"
"But after a while, he opened up, do you see what I'm trying to tell you?" The slim-faced man, most likely the leader, walked to look Kakashi in the eye as he asked, "You'd let us use your jinchuuriki's chakra to resurrect our village's founder!? WHY?!" Temari and Kankuro facepalmed at this strange turn of events, "BECAUSE! Konohagakure no Sato has suffered dearly since the Chunin Exams, and they need all the friends they can get! The fox-boy who your young friend attacked, has done nothing but help others where he can, he'd let you people use his chakra if it meant doing something good. Now, can we have our brother back, please?"
The man looked suspiciously to the group of shinobi in front of him, before Naruto asked, "What do you need me to do...Buki-san?" His show of respect made the mans eye-shadowed eyes widen, "...I need to open the sphere, then you need only get inside and it'll siphon your chakra to revive Seimei-sama." Naruto's slitted, red eyes showed determination to help these strangers as he nodded once, "I'll be ready, now let out my friend and burden brother..."
The man nodded and clapped his hands together before slamming them to the ground, making the sphere fold back to normal and letting Gaara out, "Jesus, I'm used to being targeted, but this is ridiculous! Five times in one day!? That's horseshit!" Gaara's grumblings made Naruto chuckle as he padded into the sphere and laid down like a fox would do in its den, "I'm ready Buki-san, get the dead guy's ass back to the world of the living!" His excited tone made the man smile amusedly, a kind gesture instead of a cocky one, "My name's not 'Buki'. It's Hoki, and alright, give as much as you feel is necessary without killing someone!"
(Cue: Basshunter-I Can Walk on Water, I Can Fly)"Gotcha, Datteboyo!" The catchphrase's usage made Anko chuckle and say softly, "No matter how many times I see it, I'm always going to be amazed at Gaki's ability to bring people together and stop conflicts...He's going to change the world, I just know it!" The sphere unfolded, locking Naruto in as he let his tenant's youki-turned-chakra out and into the holding pen, "THIS HAD BETTER BE ENOUGH!" The sphere was then occupied by two sentient beings, "You must be the one who's giving me a chance to save my village. Thank you, young man, thank you..."
(Uncue music)The soon to-be living man had long hair of a healthy grey, he had red eye shadow on, an incomplete ring around his head that fit perfectly on him like a crown of some sort, and his robes were cream colored. His pupilless, grey eyes were wizened and his face was kind. All in all, he was a decent enough guy in Naruto's book.
"You're very welcome, Rojin-Seimei!" The man's left eye twitched at the nickname, "What was that..." "You're clearly very old, and you're a respected figure, so I'll call you Rojin-Seimei. My fusion form's leaving, I won't be able to give you anymore chakra without having to fight for it, and I don't want to fight for it or control of myself! So we're going to have to wrap this up, HOKI! HE'S IN HERE YOU KNOW!" Once that was said, the sphere folded itself up and sank into the ground where Naruto dug up the folded-up piece of metal, "I FOUND! IS MINE NOW!" Naruto then disappeared into nine foxes, one of which taking the folded piece of equipment.
The tall man of the group went after the foxes, yelling, "GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE MONGRELS! THAT'S NOT FOR YOU TO MESS WITH!" Naruto(s?), of course, didn't listen and kept running from the man with wavy brown hair. That's when the voice of an irate Tenten was heard, "LEE! TSUNADE-SAMA SAID THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE IT EASY WITH THE TRAINING! SHE JUST HEALED YOU UP AFTER THAT FIGHT WITH GAI-SENSEI!" She walked through some bushes and saw the group of downed Oto-nin, the Takumi shinobi and the retrieval team.
What caught Tenten's eyes, however, were the weapons and armor the Takumi nin had, "Sugoi! What are those weapons?!" She rushed over and began to fangirl over the weaponry, making those from Takumi look at her with concerned faces, "Is she alright?" Kujaku's question was answered by Lee, "Yes. She is Konoha's residents weapons-user, she has reached chunin this year through mostly weaponry! She also helps around at the weapon shops in our Youthful village!"
Naruto's foxes came back into the clearing and began to toss around the folding spherical piece of equipment as the tall man came after them, "I'm going...to...beat you with...my...morning-star...you little mongrel!" Naruto's foxes didn't seem to care, as they kept tossing the folded metal, making the man grin menacingly before Anko caught the contraption in midair and handed it to the man, "First rule of, and about, kitsune: Keep shiny things away from them. They love to mess with anything they think is interesting, be it a weapon, a hitae-ate or household objects. I learned that the hard way...Damned belt buckles!"
The people gathered heard her grunted complaint, getting very confused looks from them as she glared at the foxes who'd decided she was interesting to stare at, "What? Do you expect me to give you something to sniff at for causing mayhem?" They began to yip at her and several of them tried to climb her legs, all of them failed to, but they tried nonetheless.
"As I said earlier, keep shiny things away from them. Here you go boys!" She made a tossing motion into the woods with a kunai, making them chase after the uncatchable kunai and getting Anko to chuckle, "Hehehehe! That'll show 'im, little assholes..." She began to lightly toss the kunai into the air nonchalantly, like there was nothing wrong with the world, when the Oto-nin woke up with groans.
"What the fuck happened...?" Anko knelt down to look Tayuya in the eye, "Are you a Hanakaro?" Tayuya nodded dumbly, "No wonder he was roaring like a demon! To answer your question; he's healed your minds and bodies of any ailments, injuries, impurities, and any missing organs. He's a lovable pain in th-OW!" She looked to her left hand and found one of the kitsune with her hand still in his mouth as he tugged playfully, "Oh! You think you're hot shit, eh, buster?! Well, we'll see about that..." She grabbed the fox and held him at arm's length, "What are you going to do now?!"
The fox's gekkering and insanely-fast wagging tail, "Oh, you think I'm yours, huh? Well, news flash buster, you sleep under my roof more often than I sleep in your den. So, to put it nicely, you're mine!" She held the cheeky little fuck in her arms tightly, tight enough to stop him from escaping or trying anything, but not tight enough to make him squirmy or embarrassed.
She looked to the other shinobi who saw the interaction between the fox and herself, "WHAT?! He's my kid, technically! Anyway, how do you feel kids?" Her focus on the Oto-nin, she found them gone, "...Fuck! This is Gaki's fault, not mine." The kitsune bunshin having been dispersed, Naruto walked out of the woods with a solemn look on his face, "We'd best be heading back to the village, our mission's over, the job's done..."
Naruto broke apart into nine foxes that came from his flack vest, letting everyone know that any small talk was over. The Takumi shinobi had heard and felt the effects of the mission, and they understood what was wrong. With quick 'thank you's, they left to their village with promises of forming an alliance with Konoha.
The ninja from the Village Hidden in the Leaves had understood the moment they saw Naruto in the clearing without Sasuke, and knowing the volatility of Sasuke's fanbase, they knew they were going to get chewed out. They'd made an alliance, they'd made some possible allies within Otogakure's ranks, and they'd failed their mission. This was going to suck for them, especially Naruto.
Konohagakure no Sato, Hokage's Office
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE GOT AWAY FROM YOU!? YOU TALK ABOUT BEING STRONGER THAN SASUKE-KUN, BUT YOU'RE REALLY JUST A DOBE!" Sakura's angered shouting made Naruto wince in pain at her volume, and at the jab as he tried to resist killing her, "It's as I said, Sakura: I caught up to him, I fought him, but the Ten no Juin Sasuke was given is stronger than the one Anko-chan was given. I wasn't strong enough to beat him, when we clashed...his Chidori was about the size of a small beachball," Naruto looked hesitant to continue, "...and made of black lightning. My Shui Rasengan wasn't enough to take him down, we destroyed part of the Shumatsu no Tani! I did everything I could without killing him."
Sakura stared at Naruto and his calm demeanor with angry tears, "BULLSHIT! YOU COULDN'T KILL SASUKE-KUN, EVEN IF YOU'D HAVE GONE ALL OUT! YOU'RE NOTHING," He winced and lowered his eyes, "PATHETIC! WEAK!" Each word stung like bees and his hair covered his eyes as she finished, "DOBE!"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Naruto now held Sakura's head in his hand that had a claw of chakra outlining it as he held her above the floor, "I fucked up, Sasuke was like a brother to me, Sakura, don't you think I feel bad enough!? I'm sorry, okay? I said it, and I can't fix my mistake. I won't be your problem for long however, Jiraiya and I are going to leave today, at least someone's going to be glad I'm gone!"
Naruto dropped a seriously-stunned Sakura to her feet as he left the Hokage's office through the window with an atmosphere of killing anyone who bothered him. He saw Jiraiya his old apartment's roof, looking as serious as the day Otogakure's shinobi invaded, "I heard everything, I'll meet you at the North gate in five minutes."
Naruto nodded with a scowl, "Good. I don't want to come back here!" Jiraiya nodded, "We'll be back in three years, that sound like enough time to cool off to you?" "I don't even care, if I do cool off, I don't think I'll be anymore welcome here in three years than I am right now!" Naruto got a bag from his old, rundown apartment as Jiraiya left. He grabbed anything he'd hidden before running into the forest a year and three months prior. He grabbed his old allowance box from inside the floorboards and then grabbed his first makeshift weapons out from behind a ceiling panel. It was a clawed glove, the claws were made of once-rusted bed springs and the glove was an old glove he'd found on the ground once before weaving it with pieces of chainmail he's found as well as fishnet.
The springs were fused with the fishnet, chainmail, fabric amalgamation by Naruto's chakra being used to meld it by performing simple jutsu with it. The thing looked like it had been weaved, melded and interlocked together by an amateur. There were links of chainmail visible in random places where the glove had been torn or had holes in it, the fishnet connected the chainmail and fabric together in places, as there were strings of the material in the links and weaves. The metal springs-turned-claws were melted into the creation, making it look like the fingers wouldn't be able to move, but the springs were only melted by his chakra enough to remain on the glove. All in all, it looked like shit, but it wasn't abhorrent to look at. It just looked like low-grade armoring.
Naruto looked at it nostalgically, I haven't used this before, maybe I should give it a field test first...No! There's no time, I'll try it out on the trip! With his mind made up, he replaced the panel and floorboard and leapt out the window towards the gate that lead North. He ran across rooftops before foregoing his human legs for his Great Dane-sized three-tailed fox form as he landed in the street and crashed through a couple carts, everyone who he passed had wide eyes and gaped mouths, the Konoha no Akuma was back in its true form.
No matter what he would face, Naruto would face it with his head held high and without fear of what would become of him. He wasn't afraid of the prejudice; the faces of those he passed were cruel sneers, threatening glares and fearful gasp. He wasn't going to die and let everything he'd done ve for nothing; the voices he heard were all for him to be killed and to gang up on him, but he paid them no mind. He wasn't coming back...
