Explosive Maelstrom
I don't own Naruto, but I do own a six pack of Heineken.
Chapter 4 - Funeral Curry
Undisclosed Location
In a dark cave there was a statue. The statue's wrists and ankles are were bound by shackles and it bit down on a scroll, which was held in place by two ropes extending from beneath its blindfold on either side of its head.
The statue also had nine eyes on its blindfold, which were closed.
On the statue's fingers there were nine figures standing on each finger.
The nine figures wore black cloaks with red clouds. "Okay, what is this fucking meeting all about? Lord Jashin needs sacrifices STAT!" said one of the figures.
"Enough of your foolishness, can't you see your embarrassing yourself?" said another.
"Who's idea was it to include this guy? His vibe is messing with my creative flow" said another figure.
"Creative flow? Don't make me laugh your so called art is an eyesore" said a hunched figure.
"Man, you guys never fail to make me laugh" another figure laughed.
"Enough" said a figure with rippling eyes. "I've called this meeting because Zetsu here has some information for us"
The flytrap know known as Zetsu took this as a sign to speak. "Well on one of my travels I happened to meet the Kyubi jinchuriki" said Zetsu. "Hey isn't that kid dead or something?" said one of the figures.
"The Kyubi brat is still alive and quite powerful for his age"
One of the figures gave a menacing grin "Powerful huh? Well I hope I cross paths with the brat so Samehada can get a hearty meal"
Zetsu continued to speak "The kid's no joke he possess the kekkei tota of the second and third tsuchikage"
"What's the kid's name?" said one of the figures. "Naruto Uzumaki" answered Zetsu.
"Wait, that kid is the Kyubi's vessel?" asked one of the figures. "Do you know him?" asked the rippled eyed figure. "Yeah, the kid's kinda a big deal back in Iwa he's the son of the Yellow Flash" answered the figure.
"What other information do you have?" asked one of the figures. "On top of the Dust Release he has an exceptional skill in Ninjutsu, Taijustu and Fuinjustu. Yeah he managed to seal the demon Moryo" said Zetsu.
"Well leader what do we do with this information " said one of the figures. "We continue our plans as usual. Zetsu keep finding information about the Kyubi vessel" said the leader as his subordinates disappeared.
"What do you think?" asked the leader.
The air on one of the fingers seemed to swirl revealing a masked figure casually sitting on the finger.
"I think the world needs to know of the brat" said the masked figure. "Why, won't that interfere with our plans?" asked the leader. "I think it makes our job easier, than wasting our resources. Just put a bounty on his head and watch the show" said the masked figure as he vanished with a vortex, leaving the leader alone.
Iwagakure
It was a peaceful morning in Iwa. Merchants were selling their wares, shops and restaurants were opening for the day with a few people and ninja already seated.
Naruto's Apartment
As the sun continued to rise the rays of the star hit the blonde's closed eyes, waking him up.
Naruto woke up with a groan, opening his eyes. The blonde looked at the girl sleeping next to him. She had dark purple shoulder length hair, her skin was tanned in a darker shade resembling those from the Land of Lightning.
Naruto slowly detached himself from the girl and went to the bathroom. The blonde stepped into the shower.
As Naruto was showering the memories of the previous night came back at him. 'Man, last time I party with Wakasa' Naruto thought as rinsed off his hair.
Naruto then felt a pair of arms wrapping him from behind "Good morning" said the girl. Naruto turned around and saw a pair of red eyes "Morning" answered Naruto. The girl then stepped closer to the blonde "Last night was amaizing" whispered the girl.
Naruto gulped, finding it hard to control himself. It didn't help that the girl's breasts were pressed up against him and that his dick was in between her thighs. "Yeah, I bet it was" said Naruto. The girl sexily smirked "I can make this morning even better"
The girl then kissed the blonde and continued down his chest and stomach before reaching his dick. Naruto stared at the girl as she winked at him and proceeded to give him a blowjob. 'This is awesome' thought the blonde as he succumbed to the sensation.
Konoha
Council Chambers
'I'm too old for this' thought Sarutobi. The hokage was enjoying a peaceful night's rest, when the captain of the Hunter-nin corps woke him up with shocking news.
Sarutobi looked at the people in the room. The heads of the Nine Noble Clans were present, and all of them were annoyed especially the Inuzuka clan head.
"Lord Hokage what is the purpose of this meeting?" yawned the Nara clan head. Shikaku had two scars on the right side of his face which were probably his most noticeable feature. He had dark hair tied up into a spiky ponytail, dark eyes as well as a goatee. His ears were also pierced.
"I'll tell you in a minute" said Sarutobi as Kushina entered the room. "Now that we're all here, I have news that might interest you" said Sarutobi as he made a handseal.
With a poof a black book appeared in front of each clan head. "Everyone turn to the bookmarked page" said Sarutobi.
The clan heads and the elders raised an eyebrow at the order, but nevertheless they opened the book and what they saw blew their minds. "H-he's alive" whispered Kushina.
"But he's an Iwa ninja" said the Hyuga clan head. He had long, black hair, and featureless lavender eyes like all members of his clan. He normally wore very traditional, loose fitting robes with a long-sleeved, brown haori.
"And a strong one at that" said the Uchiha head. Fugaku had short, brown hair that reached to his shoulders and onyx-coloured eyes, with visible creases below them made more pronounced whenever he adopted a stern look. He wore a simple kimono with grey which had the clan's symbol on the back when not on duty.
"It seems that Onoki has a new apprentice" said one of the elders. Kushina proceeded to read the entry with tears of joy in her eyes.

"What do we do about this Hiruzen?" asked the elder. Sarutobi sighed "We do nothing. The Shinobi World knows about him now"
"Nothing? Hiruzen my son's alive and you say we do nothing?" said Kushina. Sarutobi sighed, he expected this kind of reaction from Kushina. "Kushina, Naruto is an important figure in Iwa going after him is going to start another war" said Shikaku.
"Not to mention he's being trained and mentored by the best Iwa has to offer" said Jiraiya as he entered the room. "Master Jiraiya what brings you here?" Inoichi asked. "One of my contacts came with some interesting intel about Naruto and Iwa" said Jiraiya.
"What did they say?" asked the elder. "Naruto is trained by Wakasa Kozaburo and Kaiju Shiba and is rumored to be trained by Roshi the four tails jinchuriki and Han the five tails jinchuriki"
the council went dead quiet at the news. This meant that Naruto was a member of the Explosion corps and the Flying Squad, something that was unheard of.
Not only that he's being trained by two infamous jinchuriki, meaning Naruto has strong ties to Iwa's top brass.
"My God, this kid is going to be a monster" said Inoichi. "And the information regarding Iwa?" asked the male elder. "Iwagakure has plans to invade the Land of Grass" said Jiraiya.
The room once again was dead silent. "Why?" asked Choza. Chōza was a tall, plump man with naturally brown hair, but seems to wear a long, spiky red hair-piece. He has purple markings on his cheeks a common trait in the Akimichi clan. He wore a samurai like outfit which entails a black suit completed with armour that has the kanji for "food" on it. He also wears a rope belt, hand-guards, and instead of a forehead protector a hachimaki tied around his head.
"The Earth daimyo's daughter was killed by her fiancé, the Grass daimyo's son. Now the Earth daimyo is furious and Onoki is backed into a corner" said Jiraiya. "That means Onoki won't hesitate to start another War" said the female elder.
Sarutobi sighed as he dismissed the clan heads and the elders leaving him alone with Jiraiya. "Any other information?" asked Sarutobi.
"There's this group made out of S-rank criminals, and their purpose is to capture all the jinchuriki" said Jiraiya. "Whats the group's name?" Sarutobi asked.
"Akatsuki"
Iwagakure
"Again" said Onoki as he watched his apprentice fail to master the jutsu, again. Naruto groaned as he made a couple of handseals and clapped his hands.
'Dust Release: Atomic Judgement'
A sphere formed between Naruto's hands and flew to the center of the training ground. A pyramidic border then surrounded the sphere that was growing larger. With a handseal the pyramid exploded leaving a crater.
Onoki smiled his student managed to learn one of the advanced techniques of the Dust Release 'Soon my boy, you will surpass those who came before you. Including him' thought Onoki.
"Gramps can I go now, I gotta go meet my team" Onoki nodded as Naruto grabbed his gear "Naruto, it's almost time" Onoki said. Naruto grinned "I can't wait"
Training Ground 24
"I swear those two are going to give me a heart attack" said Kasumi. The green haired jonin was annoyed. She and Kurotsuchi have been waiting for three hours 'What on earth are those two doing, that's taking them so long?'
"They're probably sleeping with their groupies" said Kurotsuchi. Kasumi frowned she blamed Wakasa for their behavior and Kaiju was not far from her list of perverts.
With a yellow flash Naruto appeared followed by Rindo who arrived with a body flicker. "Kasumi-sensei we're so sorry we're late" said the pair of blondes.
"What's the excuse this time?" Kasumi asked while folding her arms.
"I was training with gramps"
"I had training with my mom"
Kasumi sighed "Look next time just tell me that you have training with your other teachers" said Kasumi as she handed Kurotsuchi a scroll "This is your mission.
A group of men were spotted near our borders, they claim that Raiga Kurosuki is terrorizing their village" said Kasumi.
"Raiga of the Seven Swordsmen?" asked Naruto. Kasumi nodded "Our agents confirmed it. This makes this an A-ranked mission, Naruto you're in charge of the mission" said Kasumi.
"Wait you're not coming with us sensei?" asked Kurotsuchi. Kasumi shook her head "I'm going on my own mission in a few days, so I can't join you guys"
A bird then flew over the ninja dropping a scroll on Rindo's hand. "Alright, they're here" said Rindo as he opened the scroll, revealing a storage seal. With a poof of smoke a sword appeared.
The sword was a moderately curved katana with a white edge and a distinct blue hamon that has the appearance of flames. Its tsuba is golden and shaped like a rounded cross pattée; the hilt is wrapped reddish-brown, with a golden clasp around its middle and a golden kashira pommel.
The sheath of the sword is deep red and continues the design of the hilt, having two golden clasps in short succession around its middle, and the kojiri end cap also being golden.
"Nice sword" said Naruto as he channeled his chakra through the seal, causing a katana to appear.
The katana was a black blade that had a distinct reddish-purple reverse wave hamon (hardening line) that is of a Kanemoto style and its tsuba (handguard) has flower-like edges in the shape of an octofoil. It also has no accessories on the hilt, being wrapped with black silk. Kashira, tsuba and kojiri end cap are golden, and the sheath is black, decorated with dark red circles split into even thirds.
In descriptive terms, the sword is a Hira Zukuri katana with a black blade. It has a solid hilt with a samegawa wrapped around it. The kashira is identical to the kojiri found at the end of the sheath. The crossguard is in the shape of a flower, with the sides being dark gold but the edge is normal gold. There are two half-circle holes on each side of the blade. A saw hamon pattern adorns the sides of this blade in a shining dark magenta while the hamon of the blade is colored purple, though it is equally as dark as the black bo-hi. It has a traditional sheath, but a pattern of circles in their thirds can be found stretching across it.
"Holy shit, that's a cool sword" said Rindo. Naruto nodded as he picked up the katana "Meet at the gate in an hour" said Naruto.
"Hey Naruto, what's the swords name?" asked Rindo.
"Does it matter?"
"Yeah, a sword like that needs a name"
Naruto unsheathed his sword and looked at it. The blonde had to admit this was a fine piece of craftsmanship. "Shusui" muttered Naruto
"Hmm?" asked Kasumi
"Shusui, the sword's name is Shusui" said Naruto as he flashed to his apartment.
Konoha
Kushina's House
"Kanae calm down, you'll choke if you eat this fast" Kushina scolded. "I'm sorry mom, it's just that Graduation day is here and I can't wait to be a ninja" said Kanae. "Sweetie, I have something to tell you"
"What?"
"Naruto's alive"
"W-what?" asked Kanae with a shocked look in her eyes. Kushina nodded as she showed her Naruto's picture from the bingo book. "Nii-san" Kanae tearfully whispered.
"Kanae, let's go!" yelled Tsukino from outside. "Go Kanae, we'll talk about this when I get back tonight" said Kushina with a smile. Kanae wiped her tears as she hugged her mother goodbye and left the house.
"Hey, is something wrong?" asked Tsukino noticing that her friend was crying. "Kanae we're here for you if you're nervous" said Hinata. Kanae looked at her friends with a tearful smile "My brother's alive" Tsukino and Hinata's eyes widened as Kanae hugged them.
Academy
In the classroom the students were excited. The boys talked about how they would be awesome ninja while the girls talked about meeting cute ninja from the other nations. 'Fools, those guys will kill you without any hesitation' thought a pineapple haired boy.
Shikamaru has narrow brown eyes and a typical expression suggesting he is either bored or irritated. He has shoulder length black hair tied in a spiky ponytail. He wore a short-sleeved grey jacket with green-edged sleeves and the rudimentary Nara clan symbol on the back, under which is a green-lined mesh armour T-shirt.
He also wears brown pants, a pair of his clan's traditional silver hoop earrings and blue sandals.
"Hey, Shikamaru want a chip?" asked a chubby boy. Like other Akimichi, Chōji has a rotund build and markings on his cheeks in the form of swirls. He has spiky, light brown hair that sticks upward Chōji donned a green, short-sleeved haori with a long, white scarf over a light-green shirt, with the kanji for "food" on it. He also wore black shorts, hoop earrings, and bandages around his legs and forearms.
"Nah Chōji I'm good" Shikamaru yawned. "Hey, did you hear that Lord Fourth has a son?" asked one of the students. Shikamaru became alert at the news he never knew that the Fourth had a son.
"Yeah, rumor has it that he's an Iwa nin" said another student. 'What a drag. Not only does Lord Fourth have a son, the guy is an Iwa nin' thought the lazy Nara as he fell asleep
Land of Rivers
Katabami Gold Mine
Surrounded by mountains the Katabami Gold Mine was a small town mostly inhabited by miners. The trio stood on a hill watching the town for any ninja activity.
Naruto looked through his binoculars as he saw a group of men carrying a moving coffin towards the graveyard.
"Can't we do something!?" growled Kurostuchi. Rindo balled up his fists "Looks like Raiga's living up to his rumors" said Rindo. "Let's wait a little longer. Remember this guy is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, meaning he has one of the legendary swords with him" said Naruto.
"It doesn't matter" growled Kurostuchi as she slipped on her gloves, "By the time I get my hands on him he'll wish he never became a ninja"
"Calm down, I'm gonna check if there's anything off about his chakra and how potent it is" said Naruto as he put two of his fingers on the ground and released a burst of chakra. 'There's something wrong here' Naruto thought as he narrowed his eyes.
There were seven men, but he felt eight chakra signatures. One was Raiga since he was the most powerful. His chakra was a little stronger than Kasumi-sensei and that was saying something.
Naruto felt a smaller signature coming from the lump on his back, 'Could this guy be another jinchuriki? Nah the information we've been given would've highlighted it'
"Raiga has two signatures" said Naruto as he put his binoculars in his pouch. "One of them is on his back"
"I'm guessing that lump has to be a person" said Kurostuchi. Naruto nodded as he stood up. "This might be fun" said Rindo with a grin as the trio vanished from the hill.
"He was a good man!" yelled a tearful Raiga. "Fought till the end as he was put down by us! He was an amazing man, let's give him a funeral befitting of his bravery!"
Raiga had blue eyes with a darker ripple around the pupil, waist-length green hair with the top two bangs falling down on his cheeks on each side, and having dark, full lips. He wore a grey hooded mantle with three red stripes where he had a nest-strapped to his back. Under his mantle, Raiga wore a dark-brown sleeveless vest falling to his knees where the inside was purple, light brown belt, a light grey pants and, like all the Swordsmen of the Mist, he had bandages covering most of his body, his neck down to his chest, including his arms and his shinbones.
Naruto, was traveling underground unseen by the group. Naruto's goal was to separate Raiga from the bag on his back. As the blonde approached Raiga, a little voice caught his attention. "Raiga there's someone beneath you!"
"Shit!" Naruto narrowly dodged the sword that was stabbed into the ground. 'Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears' the surrounded earth quickly skewered the Kurosuki family as Raiga jumped a few meters away from the jutsu.
Raiga snarled as he looked at the one responsible for killing his family and ruining his precious funeral. Rindo calmly stared at his opponent as he made a handseal. 'Fire Release: Tri-Fireball Jutsu' three massive fireballs headed towards Raiga who himself was making a chain of handseals. "Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
Raiga spat out a massive wave of water that extinguished Rindo's justu and continued to head towards the blonde as Rindo made his own chain of handseals. 'Earth Release: Great Stone Wall' a massive wall blocked the incoming wave.
Naruto emerged from the ground with the use of Earth Release: Hiding like a Mole Technique. The blonde swiftly cut the sack from Raiga's back and quickly used the hiraishin to teleport to Kurotsuchi.
Kurotsuchi was amazed at the efficiency of Naruto's plan. She had a brief memory of how she doubted him.
Flashback
"Alright guys here's the plan, the plan consists of two phases. Phase one will be to separate Raiga from the second chakra signature" said Naruto.
"Rindo you'll distract Raiga, while I get behind him and retrieve the bag" said Naruto Rindo nodded as Kurotsuchi looked a bit skeptical.
"Naruto how do you think you can pull this off? How will you even know that this plan will work?"
Naruto looked at his long time friend with a mischievous smirk "Trust me Kuro"
"Well Naruto I trust you" said Kurotsuchi. "Gee glad you think so" said Naruto with a grin. "Ah! Stop scaring me!" yelled Kurotsuchi. Naruto chuckled as he gave Kurotsuchi the bag, "Take this far away from here"
Kurotsuchi nodded as she took the bag and body flickered away from the battlefield. Naruto looked at Raiga as he unsheathed his swords.
The blades were slim with an upward curved prong near the base. These blades were known as the Kiba. The twin Thunderblades of Kirigakure no Sato, once wielded by the legendary Ameyuri Ringo.
Lightning began to flash from the sky as Raiga raised his blades, then a bolt of lightning hit the blades surrounding Raiga in an armor of lightning as he began to spin.
"Lightning Dragon Tornado!"
A massive vortex erupted from around him as it grew higher and higher into the air as it formed a gigantic head and body of a eastern dragon with red eyes.
"Holy Shit" said Rindo as he saw the massive beast of lightning staring at him.
"Now let's have another funeral!" yelled Raiga as the dragon reared back to strike.
Rindo quickly swiched with one of the dead corpses of the Kurosuki family.
Raiga snarled as he saw the blonde brat avoid his jutsu when all of a sudden he was hit by a wind jutsu courtesy of Naruto.
Rindo was about to finish off Raiga when he was forced to dodge a sword slash.
Naruto cursed as he saw the man in front of him. 'With his presence this mission just became a lot more difficult' thought Naruto with a sigh.
Jinpachi Munashi, another member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and a war veteran to boot. Jinpachi had long, brown hair, a long beard which he wore in strands adorned with beads and his lips were also noticeably dark in colour.
The top of his head was wrapped in bandages, and he had an eye-patch covering his left eye, sprouting from under his Kirigakure forehead protector.
His right eye was violet and he wore an extremely loose, long-sleeved pin-striped shirt and black pants, accentuated by the presence of striped leg-warmers matching his shirt. Like the other members of his generation of swordsmen he also wore bandages around his neck.
"A two on one? That's not fair kids" said Jinpachi. Raiga rose from the ground as he maniacally glared at Naruto.
"Well, well if it isn't the son of the Yellow Flash. This will be a most glorious funeral" said Raiga with a grin. Jinpachi rolled his eye as he looked at Rindo.
"Raiga take care of Namikaze's brat, I'll take care of this kid" said Jinpachi as he charged at Rindo.
"Well brat it's just you and me" said Raiga as he brought his blades together and a ball of lightning formed between the tips "Lightning Ball!" Raiga then threw the ball at Naruto who was making a handseal.
Naruto took a deep breath until his stomach expanded due to the amount of air, Naruto then slammed his fists at his stomach shooting a massine ball of air at Raiga's jutsu.
'Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet'
The justu overpowered Raiga's Lightning Ball as it kept heading towards him. Raiga dodged the justu and watched as the jutsu hit his former spot, the furious winds tore the earth leaving a crater. Raiga looked at Naruto who was holding a sword in his hand.
Raiga smirked it was time to put this kid his place. If it is a kenjutsu battle he wants Raiga was happy to oblige.
Rindo vs Jinpachi
Rindo dodged a sword slash and hit Jinpachi with a few jabs as he made a few handseals. 'Ninja Art: Exploding Dragon Jutsu' a large dragon made of earth rose from the ground and swallowed Jinpachi. The dragon then exploded leaving a crater in the aftermath.
Rindo then jumped from a sword strike that almost cut him in half, the blonde exhaled before Jinpachi's sword exploded sending Rindo flying.
As Rindo flew across the battlefield Jinpachi appeared above him and stabbed his massive sword into Rindo who then dissolved into mud.
'Damn it I should've known his sword can detonate. The sword literally has exploding tags' Rindo thought as he made a couple of handseals.
'Earth Release: Hounds of Hell'
As Jinpachi was looking around the battlefield for Rindo he noticed a pack of dogs running towards him. Jinpachi then threw his sword at the hounds, the sword detonating as soon as it hit the first hound causing a large explosion.
Rindo then appeared in front of Jinpachi and hit him with a roundhouse kick. The two then engaged in a taijutsu fight with Rindo getting the upper hand due to his smaller frame and superior speed. Jinpachi growled, this kid was becoming a problem.
He quickly switched himself with a boulder that Rindo crushed with a kick
Jinpachi then appeared next to his sword and made a few handseals, "Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Justu" a thick mist enveloped the battlefield hiding Jinpachi from Rindo's sight.
"Nice try" said Rindo as he went through his own handseals, 'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough' a gust of wind came from Rindo's mouth as the furious winds blew the mist away revealing Jinpachi who was ready to decapitate Rindo.
Rindo quickly body flickered away from Jinpachi's slash as he unsealed his sword. "Well kid, I've gotta hand to you. You're one of the few people to ever push me this far in a fight" said Jinpachi.
"But too bad this fight is over" said Jinpachi as the exploding tags flew from his sword towards Rindo surrounding him.
"Blastsword Technique: Blasting Bridle Repeating Death"
The tags then detotanated engulfing Rindo in a mass explosion. Jinpachi smirked as he put his sword on his shoulder.
"Heh, you were good kid maybe in a few years you could've been someone to fear" said Jinpachi before he was stabbed from behind by Rindo.
"W-what? How d-did you s-survive that?" asked Jinpachi. "Did you really think that you could kill me with an explosion?" said Rindo. "I'm from the Shiba Clan of Iwagakure we literally deal with explosions of that caliber everyday since we could walk"
Jinpachi chuckled "Never in my life, I would've thought that my death will come at the hands of a brat" Rindo rolled his eyes as he took out his sword from Jinpachi's chest as the Kiri nin fell to his knees.
"Any last words?" Rindo asked, "See you in hell Shiba brat" said Jinpachi. Rindo clicked his tongue and swiftly decapitated Jinpachi.
Rindo then took the missing nin's head and sword and sealed them into a scroll and headed towards Naruto's battle.
Unknown to him that an owl disappeared in smoke after watching the battle.
Naruto vs Raiga
Naruto dodged a sword slash from Raiga as he quickly countered with a diagonal slash that grazed the missing nin. Raiga cursed under his breath as he parried an onslaught of attacks from Naruto.
. "Had enough yet?" said Naruto. Raiga growled as he prepared another Lightning ball and hurled it at Naruto. Naruto calmly switched himself with Raiga letting the missing nin take his own attack.
'Well, that was easy" said Naruto as he sheathed shusui. Raiga slowly rose from the ground and maniacally glared at Naruto as he prepared another Lightning Dragon Tornado this one being larger than the one before.
Naruto calmly looked at the jutsu and then stared at Raiga with a nonchalant look in his eyes.
Raiga felt something he hadn't felt in a long time. Fear that's what it was, Naruto's near dead stare made him shiver a little. 'There's something wrong with this kid' thought the missing ninja.
Naruto tightly gripped his sword as he vanished and appeared behind Raiga while sheathing his sword.
'One Sword Technique: Lion's Song'
S deep slash appeared on Raiga's abdomen with a spray of blood. The massive dragon disappeared as Raiga fell to his knees.
Naruto took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. "Man, the Swordsmen of the Mist are overrated. I mean the 'Thunder of Kiri' just got taken out by a first year Genin" said Naruto.
Raiga rose from the ground, eyes red with fury. He grabbed the Kiba blades and charged at Naruto who then readied his sword to block the strike.
Naruto grunted as he clashed swords with Raiga. The two ninja glared at each other as they tried to overpower each other. "Your good as dead brat" said Raiga. Naruto rolled his eyes as he stepped to the side letting Raiga fall forward due to the force he put on his blades.
As Raiga was falling Naruto kicked him under the chin sending the missing nin flying towards a cliff where Naruto appeared making a chain of handseals.
'Explosion Release: Ground Zero' as soon as Raiga landed on the ground the cliff exploded.
"Well look who's destroying cliffs now" said Rindo. "Well I can't have you blowing up all of them, leave some for me" said Naruto as he walked towards the Kiba blades and sealed them in a scroll.
"Come on let's head to the village, I'm tired as fuck right now" said Rindo.
Konoha
Noble Hot Springs
"Mmm, this is what I needed after that test" said Kanae. "I know, Kakashi wasn't pulling any punches" said Tsukino as she rubbed her aching shoulders. "Come on guys it couldn't have been that bad" said Ino.
"Speak for yourself Piggy" grumbled Sakura with Hinata giggling alongside her. "Hey, Kanae word on the street is that your brother's still alive" said Ino. Kanae smiled, her big brother was alive something she dreamed and prayed for.
"Yeah, but he's an Iwa shinobi" said Sakura. "It doesn't matter" said Kanae. "Rumor has it that he's Lord Fourth's son" said Ino.
Tsukino raised her eyebrow as she remembered Naruto's baby pictures, 'He was so cute, maybe now he even looks cuter. If he's really Lord Fourth's son he's gonna' thought the Uchiha princess with a cute blush on her cheeks.
Hinata and Kanae giggled as they saw their friend daydream about Naruto. The two knew of Tsukino's secret crush on Naruto. 'I hope you're safe Nii san" thought the redhead as she looked at the sky.
Iwagakure
War Chamber
The massive room of stone was decorated with the statues of the Tsuchikage's, with a large oval table at the center of the room. The Clan heads, ANBU Commander, Jonin Commander and the leaders of the Flying Squad and the Explosion Corps were present along with the village elders and the Tsuchikage.
"Everyone, you all know about the recent travesty that the Land of Grass has done to our daimyo?" said Onoki as everyone seated at the desk nodded. With a handseal dossiers popped up in front of each person.
"Onoki what is the meaning of this?" asked one of the elders. "This Honorable elder is"
