Hey everybody this is my first ever fanfic so I would appreciate it if you tell what you think about it.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Naruto and all rights are reserved to Masashi kishimoto.
Warning this is a Naruto x mei x hinata fic, not sure if i should make it a harem fanfic tho but if i feel i can smoothly add other girls i might give it a try. Several changes to canon throughout.
since i cant really remember the whole blood prison stuff i would be trying to create something similar or something i can work with :).
Flashback
The silence was beginning to irritate naruto, they had been walking for quite sometime and neither him nor his sensei had said anything to each other or at least tried to start up a conversation, so naruto being the one who hated the silence spoke up."Hey ero-sennin where are we going, and when will we get there?" asked naruto curious about his first training location.
Jiraiya tiredly sighed,still feeling irritated about the nickname the brat gave him ,he responded. "brat how many times have i told you to stop calling me that ,anyway we are heading for the land of hills, it shouldn't take more than an hour before we get there."naruto's reply was a simple 'hmn' ,as his thoughts immediately became clouded by what he expected the land of hills to be like. "I can't help it your a pervert." muttered Naruto.
Jiraiya turned his nose up as if offended. "Jeez how many times do i have to tell you, I'm not just a pervert, I'm a super pervert" was jiraiya's reply looking like he won a gold medal in the Olympics. "still a pervert to me" was naruto's only reply as the two continued the rest of the way in silence.
As Naruto and Jiraiya pass over the border separating fire country and land of hills they were greeted by the view of a nearby town. Both grinned at the sight, though Jiraiya's grin scared the hell out of naruto, on the other hand he was happy they finally reached the village now they could explore or even begin the training . After entering the town they set off to find a hotel.
Luckily it wasn't that hard to find ,after asking random villagers they were pointed to several ,deciding to pick one that was cheap and kinda meets their needs Getting in their room and setting their luggage down.
Jiraiya turns to naruto and said "I'm going out for a bit, i know your eager to begin training but it would be pointless to begin your training now since both of us are kinda tired from the journey, so why don't you use the time to familiarize with the village in the mean time i have some work to do"he concluded adding a perverted grin.
"Yeah yeah, go on and do your 'RESEARCH' ." said Naruto with obvious sarcasm. As Jiraiya was leaving to peep on the unsuspecting women at the many hot springs. Naruto decided he wanted to see the village more and he too left the hotel to explore.
Flashback end
"WAKE UP YOU LOUSY PIECES OF SHIT, THERE'S WORK TO DO" shouted a guard in the prison ,immediately breaking naruto out of his flashback. Another guard walked the hallways with his metal Barton hitting the bars of every cell making a loud noise, this served its purpose in rudely waking the occupants up.
Reaching naruto's room he smiled,"seems we got an early bird fellas" the guard said while stretching his hand on the side of the wall he then said "i see your co operation was not a one time thing, keep that up and we wont have to use 'that' on you"
Then he turned around and immediately started the daily roll call routine. It lasted for sometime but when they were done they continued their day ,which consisted of cleaning up, breakfast which was done under tight supervision.
Now naruto and the other prisoner's stood in front of the guards as another guard directed them to where they were given either. shovels, pick axes and wheel barrows. Naruto was given a pick axe and directed to the mines. He sighed, having been doing this for a year now its obvious anyone would be tired of the same daily routine .
He was later directed to his mining spot, on his way moving to his designated work area, Naruto suddenly felt like he was being watched, turning his head his sight immediately aligned with someone, a person he absolutely disliked ,' Tomokazu izumi ' a tall man who stood 5'9' with broad shoulders ,has a body built like wrestler ,brown hair in a style similar to iruka's and age 27 years. He is the leader of the crocks, at least what remains of them. The crocks is one of the gangs in the prison and the cause of naruto's loss of his left eye.
Naruto turned his head as he continued following the guards to where he was to work, and immediately the guards instructed him to begin . Unaware of the eyes that watched his every move from a building in the prison.
...
...
Naruto who had been smashing hard rocks for 4 hours straight was finally given a 30 minutes break, something he couldn't help but thank kami for, since he was feeling really exhausted.
He sighed in defeat, already knowing he wasn't allowed to leave the location as his work wasn't completely concluded ,Naruto moved a good distance from his work area then got himself comfortable on the floor ,watching others perform their work sluggishly earned them harsh words from the guards or some getting either flogged with whips or having the seal been used on them. Naruto couldn't help but chuckle as the way the guards pushed them to work, it strangely reminded him of how he does himself when he trains.
Flashback
1 year after naruto and jiraiyas departure from konoha.
Laying on the ground while staring at the night sky. This was something Naruto often found himself doing constantly whenever he trains, sighing tiredly naruto couldn't help but think about something that had been bothering him, 'its been a year now and ero sennin hasn't taught me anything reasonable, all he does is either train me to be able to use the rasengan with one hand or controlling the kyuubi chakra', which is nice as using clones slows the speed at which I can perform the attack ,also there might be times where I may not have chakra for both clones or rasengan, but...'
Getting frustrated he said " At this rate i would never reach the point where i don't have to rely on the fox chakra, i may not even be able to beat sasuke too." this was something that worried naruto over the year and he needed to handle it.
So sitting up and going into a thinking pose, he decided to think of the areas he sucked and excelled, after a very short time of assessing "stealth, basic survival art" he said soberly. That's not good at all ,'how the hell have i survived this long with only basic skills' he mentally screamed as his mind was trying to figure out this strange phenomenon, pausing he tried to look at some of the perks he had and his conclusion
'kyuubi, it heals me from nearly everything, I'm basically immortal and with my chakra as high as it is i can spit jutsu's for hours without feeling a drain in my reserves , at least that's what ero-Senin said, i also have a lot of stamina too which is good' going silent he analyzed everything then he said "so basically i need to improve my physical attributes by a lot, Taijutsu, chakra control, genjutsu, maybe learn to fight with a weapon or two, improving my sensory skills too, fuinjutsu seems interesting maybe i could learn a bit and finally i need to get a lot smarter" he concluded dreading the action of reading books.
Its seemed like a lot of work but naruto was sure he could do it, after all he did have clone to reduce most of his work, 'thank ero sennin for telling me' he smiled thinking about when he asked jiraiya why he kept ordering him to make clones study the rasengan ." The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a solid replica . The clone itself can also utilize any Jutsu the original ninja knows. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones. This makes Kage Bunshin an excellent training method ,if the ninja has the chakra capacity and stamina to maintain the Kage Bunshins for an extended period of time. This allows you to essentially reduce the time it takes to train and learn with each clone, However, it does not transfer any physical attribute to the original so the original needs to do that himself ." jiraiya said nonchalantly while adding "didn't you notice this" then all he could hear was the sound of naruto's brain popping in excitement.
Getting up from the floor naruto had set his mind up on what he should do, now he was going to plan how exactly to progress. It took him some minutes to reach their room in the hotel, wasting no time he immediately made 5 clones and using henge they turned to random strangers he had seen in the village , sending them to find things that would be needed for his training, Naruto himself relaxed.
Timeskip 45 minutes later
"what took you guys so long"naruto said to his clones as they walked into the room dropping the bags of things they bought "it's not like everything we needed was just at one place waiting for us ya kno" replied one clone in annoyance before dropping flat on the floor.
"yep he's right i had a hard time finding something's too" replied another.
The original naruto said "yeah I understand, at least you guys found everything" ,some nodded while others shook their head, frowning slightly he said "whatever we have we can manage" so he dispersed them while creating new clones under henge to go over the library to read.
He instructed them to read each book till they were sure they understood them , not just covering many books but forgetting everything later on, while he rummaged through the bags. To his luck he found a basic taijutsu scroll, training weighs, kick boxing fighting style scroll, basic to advance workout guide, meditation for beginners and a book on survival for dummies.
He was a bit unhappy but the fact that his clone found a dojo where he enrolled to learn basic kenjutsu eased his mind, and so he decided to create a schedule to fit with the training jiraiya gave him.
His training schedule
6:00 am - 8:00 physical training with weights, send a few clones to read in the library for the day
8:00am -11:00 rasengan training, clones work on survival training
11:00am-12:00pm rest then meditate
12:00pm-3:00pm Naruto and clones learn kenjutsu
4:00pm - 6:00pm taijutsu
His schedule was good, but had flaws as jiraiya starts training him whenever he wakes up and the training to control kyuubi's chakra was something that happened randomly, so he did not have a specific time or date for when he would train in it.
But it was progress ,by the end of the year he was able to complete the basic taijutsu scroll, survival guide wasn't really a problem since he was already good at stealth and trap making( thanks to his pranks), it did help him know what's consumable and dangerous to eat, descent progress in kenjutsu, close to no progress in meditation, out of them all the book reading part was the hardest.
Flashback
2 years after naruto and jiraiya's departure from konoha.
Naruto was looking forward to resuming his secret training as he was recently able to buy a complete guide of sealing for dummies, chakra control from basic to advance and some book on sensory skills for shinobi. Right now he and jiraiya were making their way towards the land of hot water.
They had been to numerous places like the land of tea, land of bears, the land of waterfall and others. His training had been really fruitful tho, to jiraiya he still had a hard time controlling the fox and the rasengan remained the same but right now jiraiya suggested he works on chakra control and maybe elemental control too. It was really good since he had plans of working on chakra control, right now he couldn't wait to reach there so he could get started.
A loud annoying voice interrupted his day dream ,"Hey you there, you've been resting for a long time, your breaks over now get over hear and get back to work! "said some random guard.
"hai" responded naruto loudly as he stood up switching roles with the other person who was working his spot. He then started breaking the rocks into small stones as others mounted the stones into wheel barrows. Sighing to himself he already knew it was going to be a long day ,and with that bastard izumi constantly glancing at him he could not afford to slack ,as maybe this time it could result to his death.
Time skip several hours later
Finally they had completed their work for the day ,now all they had to do was take a bath and then they were free to rest. Walking to the bath which is a large room tiled from top to down with multiple showers with little soap holders near each of them , naruto stripped of his clothes folding them and dropping then on a bench, he then walked to an empty shower where he let the water wash away the filth from his body, stretching for the soap that was beside him he lazily scrubbed himself clean.
He enjoyed the water, it feels comforting and even reminds him of when he was learning the water walking exercise 'i fell in the water so many times, i even started disliking you. Now here i am seeking comfort in you' he thought as he continued to rub himself with the soap.
Flashback
2 years away from konoha (continuation)
He had finally gotten down the leaf exercise merged with water walking, and although he was happy, his control wasn't at its best, still it was a lot better than before, even jiraiya said that it was really good at that as complete chakra control wasn't needed ,it also helped that now he could make the rasengan with one hand or both hands at the same time without clones.
But the fact that it took him the whole year to get his control that good even with clones bummed him ,at least his other trainings were successful now he could sense chakra easier but not if the enemy is very far from him, his elemental training was perfect he could rip leaves to shred even bricks and other things just for the fun of increasing his control of the element.
But in all his biggest achievement is the knowledge he got from reading ,most times the clones got upset and refused to do it or they got distracted by something but finally he could proudly say he is was no longer stupid .
Fuinjutsu was also going good, but it was obvious after reading the basic that it is something you use your imagination to strengthen, that's to say if you have a weak imagination it would only limit the amount of things you can do with seals.
Meanwhile
While naruto was day dreaming the bathroom was getting heated. Many people saw izumi and some of his goons come in, and sensing something bad about to happen they quickly dispersed leaving naruto and some few who were slow to run inside.
"well well well look what we have here boys, we got ourselves a lost UZUMAKI" izumi said drawing naruto out of his flashback.
"i almost feel sad for what we goin to do to the brat...almost"some random thug said
"haha anything to make the crocks the most feared gang in hozuki castle "said some other thug slamming his fist into his palm
Naruto noticing the bathroom condition turned to izumi and said "hmn what can i do for you izumi chan and his little harem army" grinning at the furious crowd of thugs knowing his plan to anger them worked
"aww not much just something along the lines of dying!, tho knowing you we would have to forcefully do that" replied izumi trying to hide the anger at being called gay
"sorry ,but I'm not really ready for that just yet" naruto replied while looking at the thugs noticing they were only 7 along with izumi making them 8 in total.
"hahaha the boys have been preparing for this for sometime ,and unlike last time were not going to fail" izumi said shifting backwards as the thugs surrounded naruto. 'try to keep me entertained uzumaki' izumi though happy that naruto did not just surrender himself to them.
Naruto frowned knowing the only way out is either he dies or they die, so he strengthened his resolve, deciding to come out victorious.
Getting into a boxing stance which was him spreading his leg while one hand curled into a fist the other folded gripping the soap,he stared waiting for them to charge, and like the fools they were they did. The thugs rushed in order to inflict pain on him and after two steps in, naruto threw the soap on the floor as it slid towards where one thug stepped on it, falling to the ground while dragging another with him.
Lucky for the other thug that was dragged down he was able to fall on his hands,the other fell smashing his head on the ground opening his skull, instantly killing him, but his luck fell out when naruto rushed him and stomped his neck hard with his feet breaking it.
Naruto was then tackled by another thug hitting his back into the wall injuring him and leaving a crack on the tiles of the wall, as the thug proceeded to punch his stomach rapidly with as much power he could muster hurting him.
Naruto was breathing heavily from the adrenaline rushing in his veins and from the pain of both the punches and wall slam, it took him a lot of strength to lift up his hands dropping it with all his strength allowing his elbow to crush the thug's spine weakening him, naruto then slammed the thug's face into the shower handle with so much force that it passed through his eye socket, even his head hit the tiled wall cracking it, the body of the thug went limp as blood came gushing out staining the floor signalling his death to both his teammates and those watching the fight.
Izumi and the other thugs watched in horror as their teammates were killed before their eyes. " he killed harasaki, katayama and furuhata kill that demon for what he did to the others" shouted izumi loosing his cool. The other thugs rushed at naruto throwing punches and kicks like psychos.
It was unavoidable, naruto was getting beating, and he wanted to end this fight too, so ducking under a direct punch to his face by another thug Naruto threw a punch to the thugs throat letting the thug grip on it while coughing violently , naruto moved around the falling body as another thug threw a kick which hit him on the left side of the ribs ,naruto gripped the thugs leg as he pulled him to the floor hitting his head on the tile floor.
'fuck, fuck, fuck' Naruto chanted mentally as he continuously slammed the thugs head on the floor, blood rushed out of the thugs battered skull with every hit.
Naruto was angry at them, at his friends, at konoha and he was taking his anger out on them. Not seeing another thug which was the last, the thug tackled him from the back. naruto was now on the floor when the thug tried to put him in a choke hold. Izumi seeing that the thug was successful rushed and started kicking him in the ribs to weaken him.
It was working at least for a while but the thug was loosing his hold on naruto, and izumi noticed it as he started backing away, naruto moved his head with so much speed forward then moved it backwards head butting the thug in the nose,making him release him to nurse his now broken nose.
Naruto shakily stood up ignoring the bleeding thug as he set his eye on izumi, shakily balancing himself on his feet Naruto walked towards him. Izumi looked towards naruto and glanced at all his fallen men in fear saying "demon stay back, i will-"he didn't get to finish his sentence as naruto immediately tackled him into the wall raining punches to his face, this could have gone on for hours if it wasn't for the guards that came in shouting at everyone, then activating that damned seal which added more pain on him, and with the condition Naruto was in he simply couldn't handle it, so his body dropped signalling him passing out.
The final thought going through naruto's head as naruto lay on the ground looking at the blurry sight of the broken and bleeding body of izumi was 'what would she think of me if she saw this' then his eyeball rolled up his skull and his eye lid closed.
