Hello and welcome to Chapter 12 of Naruto: The Dark Prince
So I decided to reveal what Naruto's Dojutsu is and it's abilities at the end of the chapter, and to let all of you know he will not be using his Dojutsu during his fights because he has no information about it, or how to actually use it in the first place so...yeah
Anyway after this chapter will be a time-skip to the start of the 3rd exam because I've been delaying it and I'm VERY sorry for that, truly I am
So anyway with out further ado, lets get on with the chapter
Chapter 12: The Perverted Sage and The Dragon encounter
"Okay, I should be able to find this guy near the Hot Springs 'sigh' I don't know why this guy can't just meet us when we're outside of the Village. it would've made things much easier" Naruto said walking to the leaf's bath houses
"There's nothing we can do about it, besides I agree with the 3rd that you can't leave the village on your own, even with Keiran with you" Catra said from Naruto's shoulder
"I wanted us to leave the village right away so we can begin your training, but have to agree with this one, there still enemies you could encounter outside of the village" Keiran said agreeing 'Also... who knows what kind of Monsters that lurk in the Darkness. I can still tell that he is still sealed. Thanks to me and Iris, but that doesn't mean that his Darkness still doesn't taint other living beings' Keiran thought to himself in remembrance
"Well we're here, so where is this guy?" Naruto asked as he looked around
Naruto didn't see anyone in the area, only some bath houses, one for men and one for women, thier was also a bridge that went over some steaming water
"He has to be around here somewhere" Catra said also looking
Keiran then remembered something "Wait, do we even know what Jiraiya looks like?" Keiran said as all of them were silent
"..."
"..."
"..."
"No..." Naruto said as
"What are we supposed to do now" Keiran said
"Maybe he'll reveal himself or something?" Catra said
"Either that or we have to look for him ourselves" Keiran said
"Maybe we can go to the old man again and-" Naruto said but was cut off by some one
"Hey, You!"
Naruto and Catra turned to the voice, they thought they were talking about them, but when Naruto got a good look at the person who yelled and was surprised to see
It was Ebisu, he was Komahamaru's mentor, he was yelling at another man who was giggling in the direction of the women's bath,
"W-why is he spying on the girls!?" Catra said in disbelief and disgusted
'Could he be/Could he be...' Naruto and Keiran thought
The man was tall and well-built with fair skin, he had red marks coming down both his eyes. He had waist-length, spikey white hair tied in a pony tail, his attire consisted of a green short shirt kimono and matching pants, under which he wore mesh armour that is visible at his wrists and ankles. He also wore hand guards, a black belt, traditional Japanesewooden sandles, and a redhaori with two yellow circles on each side.
"I don't know who you are or where you're from, but...I will not allow indecency!" Ebisu said as he ran at the man
The man looked back at Ebisu with a bored expression and bit into his finger drawing blood and made some hand sign and slammed his hand to the ground causing some seals to appeared making smoke to erupted
Naruto and Catra was surprised to see the man now on a giant orange frog with grey markings and a necklace
"What did he do?" Catra said surprised
"It looks like he summoned that Frog" Keiran said
"So a summoning technique?" Naruto said
"Possibly" keiran said
Ebisu was surprised when the frog opened his mouth and it's long tongue grabbed him by the stomach that lifted him up and then slammed him into the ground making him unconscious
"Don't make a ruckus. Jeez, it won't do to be found out" the man said turning back to the direction of the girls bath but this time with a pen and paper as he was writing stuff down
"W-what's with that shameless pervert?!" Catra said and looked at Naruto "Naruto! Do something"
Naruto sighed and walked towards the man passing by Ebisu's body
He walked up to the man and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Go away. I'm creating a masterpiece." The man said
"You know It's illegal to peek on the women in the hot springs." Naruto said with Catra nodding her head
"Go away kid. I'm busy." The man said
"Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you" Naruto said and took a deep breath
"THERE'S A PERVERT PEEKING THROUGH THE FENCE ON THE WOMEN'S BATHHOUSE." Naruto yelled and then heard screaming
"Kid! What did you just do?!" The man asked alarmed
"You best remember this." Naruto said and quickly disappeared listening to the man getting beat up by a mob of angry women
"Hmph! Serves him right" Catra said
"If Iris was the one he was spying on in the bath, he wouldn't get this kind of punishment" Keiran said
'I wouldn't want to be him' Naruto thought
"That wasn't nice, kid." The man said behind Naruto startling him and Catra and she hissed at him
"Well, it's your fault for peeping on the girls in the baths" Naruto said
"I wasn't peeping, i was doing research. You wouldn't get it" The man said
"Yeah research" Naruto said sarcastically
"Who are you anyway pervert?" Naruto asked and the man smirked
"Who am I?" The man said and summoned a toad then started to dance
"Then I'll tell you. The title 'Frog Hermit' is merely a disguise, I shall tell you my true identity, I am the man who has no enemies in the North, South, East and West...Not even in the heavens! I am one of the Sannin, and I am not just a pervert, Im a SUPER PERVERT! The Great Toad Sage... Jiraiya" The man now named Jiraiya finished his dance and introduction
"..."
"..."
"..."
Naruto and Catra's eyes were twitching with a sweat drop from the cringey introduction that Jiraiya displayed
"Looks like we found him" Keiran said
'I can't believe this is him' Catra thought
'You gotta be kidding me...' Naruto thought as he sighed
"So your the guy I'm supposed to meet" Naruto said
"It depends, what's your name kid?" Jiraiya asked Naruto
"Im Naruto Uzamaki" he said
"Hmm" Jiraiya was looking at Naruto for a few moments 'He looks just like him...'
"Umm... Hello?"
Jiraiya shook his head "Nothing...Yeah the third told me what your situation is and to prepare you for what's coming, so it's my job to train you and the same with this Keiran person that you mentioned to the third" he said seriously
"Alright good, so when can we leave? I wanted to get started with my training as soon as possible" Naruto said
"Okay, we're going to go in a minute...I gotta finish my research first" Jiraiya said and started to walk to another womens bath house
"Are you kidding me does he have no shame?!" Catra said in disbelief
'Oh hell no' Naruto thought as he channeled some of his Dark energy into his arm and extended his hand out
A Dark manifestation of a hand with claws grabbed Jiraiya and was pulling him away from the bath houses
"What the hell? Let me go I have to finish!" Jiraiya said
"You ain't finishing nothing, and, your not going to pull this when we're training either" Naruto said and was walking in the direction of the village gates
"Okay. Okay, just stop pulling and let me walk!...please?" Jiraiya said but Naruto wasn't listening and just kept walking
(Scene Change)
Yukino and Sakura were on thier way to the hospital to see Sasuke and Lee who was also in the hospital, Sakura looked at Yukino which she noticed a red hand mark on her cheek
"Hey Yukino, why do you have a red hand mark on your cheek" Sakura asked
Yukino looked at Sakura then touched her cheek and felt a slight burning pain there, she instantly knew it was the slap she got from Ino. When she told her what had happened in the forest, and the result was a slap to the face which she didn't blame Ino for slapping her, when she told her Ino was furious and out of rage she smacked her, but when Ino figured out what she did she instantly apologized over and over again but Yukino said that it was okay that she deserved it for what she did to Naruto
"Oh its nothing I just...'sigh'... Ino slapped me" Yukino confessed, Sakura was shocked and stopped walking
"What! Why?" She said
"I told Ino what we did... To Naruto in the forest and she didn't have a good reaction to it" Yukino said continuing to walk
"Why did you tell her? She didn't need to know" Sakura said but Yukino shook her head
"Me and Naruto promised to tell her what happened, because she noticed how our team was acting towards each other" Yukino explained
"But-"
"We're here" Yukino said ending the conversation as they made it too the hospital with Ino by the front gates
"Hey guys" Ino said as she walked up to Yukino and Sakura
"Hey Ino... How are you today?" Sakura asked the blond
"I'm good, it was good to sleep in my own bed again" Ino said "Shall we go inside now?"
Yukino and Sakura just nodded and the three of them walked in and were greeted by the receptionist
"Hello, what can I do for you three young ladys today" she greeted with a smile
"Um we would like to see Sasuke Uchiha do you know which room he's in?" Yukino asked the lady
"Im terribly sorry, but mister Sasuke is not receiving visitors at this time" the lady said
"Oh okay..."
"Actually these two are with me" Kakashi said walking up to the group with his book in hand
"Can you allow them to see Sasuke" He asked
"Oh well in that case certainly" the lady said
"Sorry Ino, I have to talk with these two about something Team 7 related" Kakashi said
"Okay I understand, I guess I can go see how Lee's doing then. Can I go see him instead?" Ino asked and turned to the receptionist
"Sure you can, but mister Lee is not in a better condition then Sasuke is so don't expect a very long visit, please follow me" the lady said and stood up
"Okay, well I'll see you guys later then" Ino said and began walking with the Lady to Lee's room leaving the two girls and thier Sensei alone
"Alright you two follow me" Kakashi said going into the hallway again heading towards Sasuke's room with Yukino and Sakura following
Yukino and Sakura were nervous, they knew why Kakashi wanted to speak with them since he wanted answers back in the tower of the forest of death but Yukino said it was a team related discussion and so Kakashi agreed to do it in a private place and going to where Sasuke is in his room with no visitors is a good opportunity to get them to talk about what happened in the forest
"Is Naruto here, in Sasuke's room?" Yukino asked
"No he's not, I thought he would be with you two, when you came to the hospital but I guess not, but that's fine. I wanted to talk with you three anyway" Kakashi said as he walked into a hospital room
When they came in they saw Sasuke was up and sitting on the hospital bed with his gown on, Sasuke turned towards his sensei and team mates but didn't react to thier presence
"S-sasuke how are you feeling?" Sakura said
"I'm fine" He said and then it was silent,
Yukino remembered what she and Ino talked about during the preliminaries, she still hasn't had time to think about her new feelings that she has, but she also wondered where Naruto was, she woke up to a horrible scream this morning that pretty much woke up the whole village, deciding she can't fall back asleep she got up and went to Naruto's apartment but when she knocked on his door he didn't answer, she tried multiple times but still he didn't answer so she thought he was already up and went out
Sasuke noticed the hand mark on Yukino's cheek and asked "Why do you have a red hand mark on your cheek, did someone slap you?" Yukino didn't want to tell Sasuke that Ino slapped her
"I had to wake up some how this morning, so I just slapped my cheek a little bit but I didn't know it left a mark" Yukino lied and Sasuke narrowed his eyes but nodded
"Speaking of, did anyone else hear that scream this morning?" Sakura asked gaining her teams attention
"I did, what was that all about?" Sasuke said
"I don't know, I couldn't go back to sleep because of it" Yukino said
"Me neither" Sakura added
"I was half asleep when I heard it, so I thought it was just my imagination" Kakashi said
The room went quite for a moment
"You said you wanted to talk with us?" Sasuke said to Kakashi who nodded
"Yes" he said and sat on one of the chairs in the room
"Well, what is it then" Sasuke said impatient and Yukino and Sakura looked worried
"I want to know what exactly happened in the forest of the second exam and what has caused Naruto to act differently" Kakashi said seriously
(Scene Change)
Naruto and Jiraiya stood by a slow moving river that flowed about a 3 miles from the village, amongst the towering trees of the Land of Fire, the sunlight danced on the water's gentle surface.
"We don't have much time before your match, and you'll be up against some very capable opponents, so we need to think of ways to compliment your strengths," said Jiraiya.
'You have any ideas Keiran?' Naruto asked
"We could do a sparing match to determine where you are at now, since your awakening of your Dark powers did some changes to your body you should show some better results then before" Keiran said and Naruto nodded
"How about a sparing match, Keiran said we can do that to determine where I stand?" Naruto said
"Oh right he's apart of this too, yeah we can do that but is there a way I can speak with him first?" Jiraiya asked and Naruto thought about it
'Is it okay with you' Naruto asked Keiran
"Yeah it's fine, I wanted to talk with him anyway" Keiran said and Naruto nodded
"He said yeah, he also wanted to talk with you as well" Naruto said
Jiraiya saw Naruto close his eyes and then his appearance started to change, his Orange and Blue jumpsuit turned Black and Red along with his blond hair and a few strips of Red, 'Naruto' opened his eyes to show them to now be Green with a small slit in his eye
"Hello Jiraiya, you wanted to speak with me?" Keiran asked from within Naruto
"Your Keiran?" Jiraiya asked and he nodded
"Alright, I wanted to asked if you made contact with the Nine-Tails" Jiraiya said seriously
"You know about him then?" Keiran said and Jiraiya nodded
"Well then yes i have, i even made a deal with him" Keiran said making Jiraiya eye's widen in surprise
"WHAT!" Jiraiya shouted, he was about to say something else but Keiran held up his hand telling him to be quite
"You don't have to worry, it's nothing bad that will cause damage to Naruto, the opposite actually, I just wanted him to train Naruto so he can get stronger then he is now as soon as possible"
"Okay I get that after what I been informed but why would you want the help from the Nine-Tails to train him when im here, also what if he corrupts Naruto?" Jiraiya said
"He won't corrupt him since I'm going to be there to watch over thier training sessions, also this was before the third asked you to train Naruto, so we can't change it now" Keiran said
"Well as long as you watch over him then it's fine" Jiraiya said
"You are being awfully protective of Naruto even though you just met him today" Keiran pointed out
"He just looks like a student i had once before" Jiraiya said
"Hmm" Keiran narrowed his eye's but got back on topic
"Anyway, I also wanted to talk with you about something, it's about the training schedule that me and the Nine-Tails made" Keiran said
"Okay...What do you have in mind?" Jiraiya asked
"Well first off, you are going to train him first in the morning to see what he needs to improve and if you want to teach him something, I say you should help him improve his fighting skills, his Chakra control, and mediating" Keiran explained
Jiraiya nodded "Alright I can do that, I was planning on teaching him something anyway"
"Okay, after you is going to be the Nine-Tails, he will train him in learning some Ninjutsu's and some Chakra control, and what ever he wants to help Naruto improve but mostly how to use his Chakra"
"How exactly will the Nine-Tails train Naruto into using his Chakra" Jiraiya asked
"I'm not sure myself, but thier either going to train in Naruto's mindscape or out here with him hearing the Nine-Tails instructions, but if he does do it out here then us too can keep an eye out" Keiran said with Jiraiya nodding in agreement
"Okay and what about you? What are you going to train Naruto in" he asked
"Im going to train him to using a sword and to control his Darkness, that's the most important I want to do if I don't then he'll be corrupted by his own Darkness, and of course I'm going to teach him a whole lot of stuff that he will have to learn in the future" Keiran said but Jiraiya was confused about something
"Wait, Naruto's Darkness is apart of him the same as you right? So why would it corrupt him?" Jiraiya asked
Keiran shook his head "That's not how it works, the Darkness is like another entity. It's the same thing with Light but that's different all together, the Darkness is destructive it can corrupt anything and anyone, trust me I seen it happen before back in my time...It even happened to me when I couldn't get my emotions under control" Keiran felt something brush against his 'his' skin as he looked to see Catra on his shoulder and he smiled at her
'Im not going to let Naruto do the same thing i did' he thought
"...I see"
"I should give Naruto back control since we lost so much time already" Keiran said and closed his eyes giving back control to Naruto
Naruto appearance was back to normal and he opened his eyes to see his normal Blue
"We can start now?" Naruto asked
"Yeah let's get started, by the way, don't use your Dark powers for this sparing match. I only want to see what you could do" Jiraiya said and Naruto nodded
They made some distance with each other as they when into a fighting stance
"Catra go over there, that way you can be safe" Naruto said and Catra nodded jumping off of his shoulder
"Okay. Goodluck and be careful" Catra said and Naruto nodded
'Since the old man trained him, i can't afford to let my guard down' Naruto thought
"I agree, we don't have any information about him but he does on us, we did see what he could do before with that other Ninja but that's about it" Keiran said and Naruto mentally nodded
Naruto dashed at Jiraiya with a burst of speed
'He's fast' Jiraiya thought
Naruto closed the distance between them and threw a right hook at Jiraiya who blocked it
'He's strong for his age, heh, almost reminds me of her' he thought
Jiraiya tried to punch Naruto in response but he moved his body out of the way and tried to kick him but Jiraiya jumped up, Naruto took out some shuriken and hurled it towards Jiraiya
Jiraiya took out a Kunai and deflected them all and threw it at Naruto who moved his head a little bit to dodge, Naruto made a cross hand sign
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
20 clones of Naruto appeared in a puff of smoke and charged at Jiraiya, half of the clones pulled out a Kunai, Jiraiya made some hand signs himself
"Earth Style: Dark Swamp!"
Jiraiya put his hands into the ground and the ground under the clones turned into a sloppy brown muddy sludge as it stopped them in thier tracks and it was sinking them slowly, the half of the clones who had thier kunai threw them at Jiraiya and then poofed into smoke along with the rest, Jiraiya dodged every kunai they sent, unknown to him when Naruto's clones disappeared the real Naruto's face twitched a bit and he could have sworn he saw images from the clones perspective but he quickly shook it off
"Your gonna have to do better then that!" Jiraiya said taunting Naruto
"Okay then suit yourself"
Naruto outstretched his hand and a Black and Red portal appeared and came out The Sword of Darkness as it flew into Naruto's hand
"Hey! I said to not use your Dark powers!" Jiraiya said
"Yes you did, but im only using it to get my sword" Naruto said as he dashed towards Jiraiya with his sword in hand
"You said you wanted me to show you what I can do, this is part of it" Naruto said gesturing to his sword
Naruto brought down his sword getting ready to strike Jiraiya but he moved out of the way causing the sword to hit the ground making a large crack in the surface
'That sword is powerful it would have split me into two if it hit, I have to end this' Jiraiya thought in surprised
Jiraiya tried to kick Naruto but he did a front flip using the sword, he landed on his feet as he forcibly pulled the sword from the ground getting into a stance again
Jiraiya did some hand ssignsand shouted
"Fire Style: Flame Bomb!"
Jiraiya opened his mouth and out came a medium size fire ball going towards Naruto, he brought up his sword and brought it down on the Jutsu making it split into two causing the area to go up in black smoke
'It cut threw it! Looks like that sword is more then just powerful, it cut threw my Chakra like it was easy' Jiraiya thought shocked
Naruto looked around and channeled some Chakra into his eye's so he can see better. Unknown to him...
Jiraiya made a cross hand sign that Naruto did earlier and shouted
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
He made 20 clones of himself and they charged into the smoke where Naruto is, Naruto couldn't see anything in the smoke even if he channeled Chakra into his eyes
Naruto's instincts told him to dodge to the right and he did seeing that Jiraiya almost hit him from the back, he then dodge to the right as another Jiraiya almost hit him, Naruto automatically knew these were Shadow clones
'He has Shadow clones too!?' Naruto thought
"Looks like it" Keiran replied
Naruto got up and with his sword in hand and started to spin Rapidly as the sword started to build of some wind and it gradually started to pick up around him, the smoke started to disappear along with Jiraiya's clones as they poofed into smoke
Naruto looked around for Jiraiya but couldn't find him and then his Instincts told him to turn around and he did only to see Jiraiya with a swirling ball of Chakra in his hand
Jiraiya was about to end this but when Naruto turned around Jiraiya was surprised to see his eyes were different again but he knew what those eyes were
'It can't be, those eye's...' Jiraiya thought as he seen Naruto's now yellow eyes with Black markings in a shape of a web and 5 different colored orbs surrounding it
Jiraiya was broken out of his trants when Naruto swung his sword horizontally at him, he dodge at the last second and thrust his hand towards Naruto's stomach
"Rasengan!"
Jiraiya's jutsu cause Naruto to be swirled around and to be hurled back towards a tree
"Ahh!"
Naruto tried to stand up but he couldn't as he was stuck staring at the sky, Catra quickly rushed towards him
'Naruto are you okay!?' Catra said as she began to glow already heal him
'...Yeah...It's just my stomach that got hit" Naruto said with gritted teeth
'Okay hold on' She said and he just nodded
"That was a good spar, you almost had me there" Jiraiya said walking towards them
"W-what was that?" Naruto asked
"It's called the Rasengan, it was created by the Forth Hokage and he taught me it" Jiraiya said
"The Forth Hokage made that Jutsu?" Naruto said surprised
Jiraiya nodded "He was also my student at one point" he pointed out
Naruto awe expression turned to one of doubt
"You sure about that?" Naruto asked skeptically
"Of course I'm sure! who wouldn't want to be like me!"
Naruto raised his hand immediately
Jiraiya turned gloomy as he had a downed expression
"If it makes you feel any better, it's only because of you being a pervert that i don't want to be" Naruto said
"But that's the best part..." Jiraiya muttered
Naruto was now all healed thanks to Catra and he stood up
'Thank you Catra' Naruto smiled which she returned
'Your welcome' She replied and jumped on his shoulder
"Okay so what do you think?" Naruto asked
"Hmm, well you definitely have skills I tell you that but there's room for improvement, also you seem to know the Shadow Clone Jutsu which is good but that seems to be the only Jutsu that you know" Jiraiya said he left the part of his eye's changing he has to look into that more
"The Shadow Clone Jutsu was the only one I learned, I couldn't learn anything else at the time due to my Chakra control" Naruto explained
"Okay, well we're going to work on that, but there's something I want to teach you first" Jiraiya said
"What is it?"
"The summoning Jutsu. It allows you to summon animals to help you fight in certain battles" Jiraiya explained
"I'm sure you seen what I did when we were in the hot springs right?" He said and Naruto nodded
"Okay first you draw blood from your hand and make these specific hand signs"
Jiraiya showed Naruto the hand signs for the jutsu, it consistent of, Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, and the Ram sign
"Okay, make sure you remember these hand sign in order to do it" Jiraiya said and Naruto nodded
"Okay I'm going to be right back, I gonna get something" Jiraiya said and walked away
"So I'm going to have two ways to summons animals, on using Chakra and one using my Darkness" Naruto said
"I rather you do it with Chakra instead of your dark powers" Catra said
"I agree with Catra, untill you have better control over your Darkness you can't summon anything using it" Keiran said
"Will my control over darkness effect the way my summon will obey me like with the black cat from before?" Naruto asked
"Yes, imagine you summon a powerful animal but you have poor control over your Darkness, what do you think will happen between you and your summon?" Keiran said
"Most likely it won't listen to me right" Naruto asked and he felt Keiran nod his head
"Hmm" Naruto thought about something and then bit into his thumb drawing blood
"Your going to try and summon something?" Catra asked and Naruto nodded
"Yeah, I want to see what would happen" Naruto said and did the necessary hand signs for the Jutsu
"Alright! The only thing you need to do is have a blood contract so that you can actually summon something-" Jiraiya said holding a big scroll but was cut of by Naruto
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Naruto placed his hand on the ground and seal appeared and then smoke erupted and then Naruto was gone and Jiraiya was frozen he was just staring at the spot Naruto was supposed to be with his eyes wide and his mouth open, he let go of the scroll and let it fall to the ground he was looking all around him in panic
"...That's not good" he said
(Scene Change)
"WHAT!"
Team 7 all flinched at the volume of the scream thier Sensei just made. He was furious at them, did they learn nothing from his 'teachings' he has just learned that his team he was in charged of just abandoned one of thier team mates
"You three, better have an excuse on why you did what you did to Naruto!" Kakashi said and no one answered him
"Well?"
Yukino was about to speak up but was to late as Sasuke answerd for them
"The Sound team were overwhelming us so we had to get away and retreat" Sasuke said
"And leave Naruto alone?" Kakashi asked and Sasuke didn't say anything to that
"W-we were going to look for Naruto when Sasuke was better" Sakura said
"Thats no excuse, you should never leave a comrade, did i not tell you three that whoever abandons thier comrades are worst then scum!" Kakashi said
"Y-yes you did" Sakura said
"And What did you do?" he asked
"We abandoned Naruto" Yukino said looking down
"Thats right...'sigh'...Im very disappointed in you three" Kakashi said and looked at Yukino
"You know where Naruto is?" he asked but Yukino shook her head
"I went to his apartment this morning but he wasn't thier" Yukino said
"Hmm, Maybe lord Third would know where he is, Yukino come with me. We're going to the Hokage's office" Kakashi said
"...Okay" Yukino said and they left the Hospital going towards the Hokage mansion
Kakashi and Yukino made it and were outside the Hokage's office, Kakashi knocked on the door and they heard a muffled come in
Kakashi opened the door for them and they saw Hiruzen relaxing on the couch while two copies of himself did the moutain of paper on his desk
"..."
"..."
Hiruzen looked to see who walked in and frowned when he saw Yukino and Kakashi
"Hey gramps" Yukino said
"Kakashi, Yukino, what can i do you for" He said
Yukino frowned in confusion, Hiruzen would always greet her and Naruto nicely when they were younger
"Lord Third, have you seen Naruto? We can't seem to find him" Kakashi said
"Ah yes, i have to tell you that Naruto has left the village to go train for the exams" Hiruzen said
"Wait really?" Yukino said and Hiruzen nodded
"Yes, so you dont have to worry, he's fine" Hiruzen said and Yukino nodded
"Is there anything else that you need?" Hiruzen asked
"No, thank you Lord Hokage, that is all" Kakashi said and bowed
"Alright, you are dismissed but Yukino i have to talk with you so you stay" Hiruzen said and Yukino nodded while Kakashi walked out of his office, Hiruzen made a gesture to come sit with him and she nodded
"So how have you been?" Yukino asked
"I've been doing fine thanks for asking" Hiruzen said with a smile and she smiled in return but then his smile vanished and was replaced with disappointment and she was confused
"What's wrong?" She asked
"Yukino...I know what happened back in the forest" Hiruzen said and Yukino was shocked
"O-oh" Yukino was trembling
"Yukino...Im so disappointed in you"
Yukino was shedding some tears and she nodded "I-i know you are, a little while ago w-we told Kakashi-sensei what happened as well and he was disappointed in us as well"
"I regret leaving him all alone out there, im such a horrible childhood friend" She said and Hiruzen pulled her into a hug, by the way she's acting now, he see's that she truly does regret what she did to Naruto
"Did you apologize to him?" Hiruzen asked and Yukino nodded
"I did...But he didn't except it, i don't blame him either, i mean why would he after what we did" Yukino said and Hiruzen was rubbing her hair
"Naruto said that we can still be friends but i can tell that i lost his trust in me, and i don't know what im supposed to do too get it back" she said rubbing her eye's
"Give him some time, something like this doesn't just heal over night after all, you know this" Hiruzen said and she nodded
"I know that, but he's so different now. I don't know what happened to him" she said
"Don't worry, everything will be fine, Okay" Hiruzen said with a smile, she turned to him and smiled along with him
"Yeah" she said and hugged Hiruzen and he did the same
"Thank you"
"Your welcome"
The two stayed in the imbrace for a little longer and then Yukino asked Hiruzen something
"By the way...what took you so long to use Shadow Clones to do your work for you?" She asked curiously
Hiruzen looked at her with a blank expression and sighed "Naruto told me about it before he left" he said making Yukino giggle
"Well i have to go, i still have to train for the exams, thanks for talking with me" Yukino said
"No problem and train hard alright" Hiruzen said and Yukino nodded before exiting his office, he sighed again and looked at the photos on the wall
"Even with Shadow Clones it still wasn't easy huh" Hiruzen said as he relaxed again on the sofa, unknow to him his two clones were looking at him with jealously as they wish they were in his position right now
(Scene Change)
When the smoke dispersed Naruto found himself falling from the sky with Catra trying to hold on to him, Naruto quickly got Catra in his arms as he looked around trying to figure out what's going on
"Why are we falling!?" Catra screamed
"I don't know!" Naruto replied
"Did you somehow do it wrong!" Keiran said
"I sure I did it right!" Naruto said
Him and Catra were in the clouds again and then it cleared up as they saw below them were seven floating Islands, there were six medium Islands in a circle and one huge one in the middle of the six
Naruto and Catra looked to see that in the middle Island there was a town surrounded by forest and mountains the other six islands had stuff similar to it
Quickly Naruto unfolded his wings to see thier now different, some of his wings were still leather but they now had some feathers, some of its inner layer had red feathers with its outer layers had black hardened leather, he quickly snapped out of it, he can worry about that later. He flew down towards the center Island in the forest area
As Naruto landed, he and Catra looked around to see them only surrounded by trees
"Why did you land in the forest and not the town?" Catra asked
"I thought it would be much safer if we landed in the forest so we can think of what to do" Naruto explained
"I think we should look around, that way we can get a feel of where we are" Keiran said
"Alright we can do that" Naruto said with Catra nodding
Naruto started walking. After some time passed Naruto began to hear things. It almost sounded like something was moving through the trees, like something was stalking him waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"You feel that?" Naruto said quietly
"Yes, there are seven in total watching you from a distance" Keiran said
"Do you know what it is?" Naruto asked
"No I can't identify it" Keiran said
"I dont feel any hostility towards you, there probably just watching to see what you would do" Catra said
Naruto looked up to the trees but saw nothing. Naruto began jogging through the forest untill he reached a clearing
"Okay! You seven have been watching me for quite awhile now so how about you all come out and we can talk!" Naruto yelled out
it was quiet for a moment then the sound of giant wings beating through the air. Naruto looked to the skies to see seven dragons, each the size of a house, decend to the ground and surround him. Each dragron was a different color, In front of him was a Red Dragon, to the side was a Green Dragon, on the other side was a Blue Dragon, to the side of the Green one was a Brown Dragon, to the side of the Blue one was a Yellow Dragon and in the back of Naruto were two Dragon one Black and the other White
Naruto and Catra stared at these mythical beasts in awe. Naruto hadn't known that dragons even existed. The Red dragon took this moment to lower his head and inspect Naruto fully. The dragon looked Naruto up and down and finally made eye contact. The dragon stared Naruto down, and Naruto stared back.
(To think they actually exist) A voice said within Naruto
'Nine-Tails?' Naruto said
"So you finally make yourself known?" Keiran said
(I wanted to wait until it was my turn to train the brat but this got my attention)
"How have you found this place?" The Red Dragon asked
"I think I messed up the Summoning Jutsu in some way and so I ended up here in this place by accident, what even is this place anyway" Naruto answered
"For starters, I shall introduce myself, I am Pyro The Fire Dragon" The Red Dragon said
"It's my turn, you can call me Gale The Wind Dragon" The Green Dragon said
"I'm next, you can call me Aqua The Water Dragon" The Blue Dragon said
"Here goes, you can call me Volt The Lighting Dragon" The Yellow Dragon said
"You can call me Slab The Earth Dragon" The Brown Dragon said
"It's our turn now, You can call me Ruin The Dark Dragon" The Black Dragon said
"And you can call me Gleam The Light Dragon" The White Dragon said
"We are the Seven Dragon Guardians that protect our home " Pyro said
"It's nice to meet you all, I'm Naruto Uzamaki and this is Catra" Naruto said and introducing Catra as well
"It's nice to meet you both as well" Aqua said
"So what is this place?" Naruto said
"This place is called Dralgia: The Land of the Dragons, it's home to the Dragon summons" Gale said and Naruto nodded but then he and Catra were surprised
"You guys are summons?" Naruto said
The seven dragons nodded their heads
"If thats the case then why didn't I summon any of you, where I was at?" Naruto asked confused
"First, The Summoning Jutsu is supposed to bring a summon creature like myself to you, not the other way round. The only plausible reason you could've appeared here is because you did not have a summoning contract at the time you attempted the jutsu, but even then the jutsu should've just failed." Volt said
"So you cannot summon us because you have not signed our contract" Slab continued
"Okay, so all I have to do to summon you is sign your contract?" Naruto asked
"Not just anyone can summon the mighty dragons! To display your worthiness you must first pass a trial, only then will you be able to summon us" Ruin said
"How do I take the test?" Naruto asked
"You have to battle one of our own in combat, if you come out victorious then we will let you sign a contract with us" Pyro said
Naruto nodded "So who will I fight against?"
"Me!" a voice said
Naruto turned towards the voice was left speechless, It was a girl not older then he is with flowing Red hair, she has red colored eyes as well, she had a battle outfit on consisted of armor boots and kneecaps, and an armor chessplate with a black and red jacket, but over all she was beautiful
"Your staring" she said
Naruto shook his head "Sorry it's just I thought I was fighting another dragon not a-"
"For your information i am a dragon, Im just in my human form at the moment for this occasion" she said
'Dragons have thier own human forms?'
"Seems like it"
She then pulled out a sword with some marking on it and got into a stance
"You ready?" she asked
Naruto became serious and had a look of determination which the Dragons noticed
'Lets see what you can do' Pyro thought
Naruto made a gesture with his head to Catra telling her to go a safe distance away from them as he stretched out his hand and a Black and Red portal appeared and out came the Sword of Darkness and he got into a stance as well
"Yes" he said
The two charged at each other with impressive show of speed and clashed in the middle with a loud clang
"You have impressive speed" she commented
"I can say the same" Naruto said
The two kept trying to overpower the other but the female Dragon proved she had more strength then Naruto and he was sent flying
Naruto did a cross hand sign
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
20 copies of Naruto appeared and rushed at the female, she completely decimated Naruto's clones with her sword, as she delt with the last clone she saw the real Naruto behind it charging at her, she tried to jump to get away but she couldn't, she looked down to see black chains binding her to the ground
"What!?"
Naruto started channeling his Dark powers into his hand and it started to glow with Dark energy, he cocked his fist back and sent a punch to the female sending her back
Flap*
The female now had red Dragon wings on her back as she kept herself still and charged at Naruto but not before making a pair of her own hand signs
"Dragon Arts: Dragons Roar!"
She opened her mouth and fire came out blasting towards Naruto, he then made his sword spin rapidly to deflect the incoming Fire blast, when it stopped he was sent flying in the air by the female, she then appeared above him and made another set of hand signs
"Dragon Arts: Dragon Claw!"
Her hands started to glow green as what appeared to be a dragons claw and she strikes Naruto sending him down causing smoke to erupted making a crater
"Don't tell me thats all you got!" she said
It was quiet for a moment then as the Dragon spectators watched
From the dust cloud came the Sword of Darkness as it was heading towards the female, but she reflected it with her own sword but was then surprised to see Naruto in front of her and he sent a kick to her face sending her up and then he appeared above her and then slammed her down to the ground
As she stood back up, she saw Naruto with his head down and eyes closed
"Keep your eyes on the fight!" She said and charged again but then
was pushed back by a burst of power coming from Naruto, she and the rest of the Dragons were intrigued by this as they saw Half of Naruto's appearance have changed, Half of him was now Black and Red and he opened his eyes to show one Glowing green eye and then he disappeared shocking the Dragons
"Where did he go?" the female said
"Right here" a voice said from behind her, she quickly turned around to be met with Naruto's green eye and she was sent back by Naruto
She couldn't react fast enough and was sent the other way again by Naruto who was now behind her, he unfolded his wings and charged at her
"Okay then" she said and was now surrounded by flames as it started to turn into a mini Tornado, the seven dragons all looked at each other and nodded
The mini fire Tornado vanished and out came another Red Dragon but smaller
The dragon charged at Naruto and used its tail to swing at Naruto but he dodged it and he put his hand out calling The Sword of Darkness back to his hand and took a swing at the Dragon, he was surprised when the sword didn't do much damage to the Dragons skin, he was then sent flying by the Dragons claw, when Naruto got his bearings together he saw that the Dragon had its mouth open and was about to send a fire attack towards him, Naruto put the sword of darkness on his back and put his hands together channeling his Dark powers in his hands, he brought his hands back and then thrust them forward as a beam of Dark energy was sent towards the Dragon and in return sent a stream of Fire as well
BOOOOOM*
The two attacks collided causing a huge explosion to occur as they tried to over power the other, the dragon opened its mouth wider as the stream of fire grew in size as it was pushing back Naruto own Dark beam, he gritted his teeth together as he drawer more power from the Darkness as he saw that more of his appearance was slowly turning Black and red
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
Naruto shouted as his Dark beam grew in size as well if not more then the stream of fire as it pushed back against it, it was only for a split second but he could have sworn he saw Keiran right beside him and then vanished
Naruto's Dark beam overpowered the dragons fire as it was ingulfed by it causing major damage towards it
BOOOOOOM*
A huge explosion ooccurred as the area was now engulfed in smoke, Naruto decended down to the grown back in his original appearance as he was panting, when the smoke cleared he saw that the Dragon was trying to get back up but then fell down exhausted
"Alright thats enough, we seen plenty" Pyro said
"Truly a spectacular battle you had there" Gale said
"Indeed, you have shown you are worthy of having signing a summoning contract with us" Pyro said
Naruto was still exhausted but then felt a unknown feeling ingulfed him as he turned to see the White dragon glowing, he looked to see it was healing his wounds, he looked to the other dragon to see that it was also getting healing which he sighed in relief
'Did I go to far?' he thought
(If you didn't then you would have been in that dragons place if not worse) Nine-Tails said
"I agree with the Nine-Tails, you saw how tough thier skin is when you tried to slash it with the sword of darkness, it barley did anything" Keiran said
'Yeah your right, thier really powerful'
Naruto felt Catra jump on his shoulder again and she was nuzzling in his neck
'Good Job Naruto!' Catra said
'Thank you'
"That was a good battle" the female said
Naruto turned and saw that the Dragon was now in its human form now as it walked up to him having a hand out, he did the same and the two shook hands
"Yeah it was, you almost got me there" Naruto said
"Yeah I did, by the way I haven't introduce myself. My name is Flare. Nice to meet you" Flare said with a smile which Naruto did the same
"Nice to meet you Flare, I'm Naruto" he said
"I know, I was watching the interaction between you and the Seven Dragon Guardians" She said and Naruto nodded
"I hope we can battle again sometime" she said
"Yeah it would be good training for both of us"
"Now that you have shown you are worthy, you shall sign a contract with us" Pyro said and opened his mouth looking in the sky as the other dragons did the same and one by one they sent a stream of fire in thier respective colors at the center, the seven dragons combined their strems of fire to make the summoning scroll appear and two other objects. One was a sword and the other was a set of new clothing
"This is the Dragons Scroll, you have to sign your name in it with your own blood so that you can summon any of us and the rest" Volt said and Naruto nodded
"Alright, and what's up with the other two?" he asked
"Think of it as a bonus, for what you showed us" Slab said
"Okay"
Naruto walked to the Dragons Scroll and bit into his thumb drawing blood, and started to write his name in it, after he did if was then ingulfed in flames and it was gone leaving the two other items thier as well
Naruto picked up the Sword and looked it over, it was a long sword that was black in color but on the guard thier was a blue gem carved into it along with marking on the edges of the blade, he then picked up the new set of clothes that he might wear to the finals
"That sword was fordge from Dragons Fire, it was made with a special type of steel that you can only get here in Dralgia, and that gem on the guard, if you put your energy into it then it will glow to the color that you want making it stronger" Ruin said
"Thank you for this" he said to the dragons and they nodded, he then channeled his dark powers into the gem and it turned from blue to red
"Your welcome. Now I think it's time for you too go back home" Pyro said
"Okay, but how do I get back?"
"Don't worry, we have that covered" Gleam said
Naruto was then ingulfed in different colored flames ranging from Red, Blue, Green, Brown, Yellow, Black, and White as he then disappeared from Dralgia
(Scene Change)
Naruto was back to where he was before as he saw that it was Night time and Jiraiya was sleeping by a tree
"Well I wouldn't say that this day was waisted" Naruto said as he sat by a tree placing his Sword and clothes down beside him
"Yeah, I say it was worth it, now you can summon a Dragon when ever you want" Keiran said and Naruto nodded
(Hey brat! come inside you mind scape, it's time for your training) The Nine-Tails said
"Alright, but won't I be tired in the morning after everything that happened today?" Naruto asked
(You won't, you will be fully charged in the morning) He said
"Okay then" Naruto about to lay down
"Wait! can I come watch" Catra asked
"I don't know, is that even possible?" Naruto said
"If she's close by then I can bring her in to your mind" Keirab said and they nodded and fell asleep
(Scene Change)
Naruto was now in his mind scape with Catra who looked around
"Why is it like this?" she said as she looked in the sewer
"I have know idea" He replied
"Naruto! Catra follow my voice" Keiran's voice said from a distance
Naruto and Catra started to run in the direction of Keiran's voice as they were now infron of a giant cage and on it said 'Seal' and behind it they saw the Nine-Tails in all its glory
(Good now we can begin) The Nine-Tails said
"Hold on! Can we have a change of scenery here, I don't know how you can train like this" Catra said
(The Brats the only one who can change this place not me) The Nine-Tails replied
"How do I do that exactly?" Naruto asked
"Maybe try thinking about it and it will happen" Keiran suggested
Naruto closed his eyes and started to imagine a huge green field with flowers and trees surrounding it, Naruto opened his eyes again slowly to see what he imagined,
"it worked!" Naruto exclaimed as he looked around, it's just like what he imagined
"It's beautiful!" Catra said in awe
"Yeah" Keiran said also in awe
(Okay, now that we got a change of scenery it's time for your training to officially begin, are you prepared because I'm not going easy on you) Nine-Tails said
"Don't think I would either, it's my job as your teacher to help you get stronger" Keiran said
Naruto looked to the Nine-Tails and then to Keiran and nodded, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath before releasing it

Alright. That is the end of Chapter 12 I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter
I wanted Naruto to have a different summoning contract and I thought why not he have a Dragon contract and so I was happy I was typing out the scene with the Dragons and the land of the dragons Dralgia so what do you guys think of that
So about Naruto's Dojutsu im going to explain what it does
Naruto's Dojutsu is called the Nejigan, like I said i got this off from Reddit, this guy made a Dojutsu because he thought that the Mangekyou Sharingan was too over powerd i think it was 'DiglettsOtherHalf' who posted it on Reddit so I'm going to be using his or her (not sure) but anyway I DO NOT own this, also I'm going to add my own idea to the Nejigan so I do own MY Idea to add for it which will be after I explain what it is
Abilities: If you possess it, you have the ability to not only use every basic nature transformation, but also the ability to combined them to create every combined nature transformation as well. This means the ability to use Wood Style, Ice Style, Lava Style, Etc.
(There already exists an up to date chart of all the existing nature combinations on the Naruto Wiki)
Storm Style: Water Wind Lightning.
Plasma Style: Lightning Fire Wind.
I'll add more when I think of something because when Naruto learns the Rasengan i want him to be able to combine his Natures and the other combined Natures into the Rasengan
Now it says that the user can use every basic Chakra nature, which it is true but remember Naruto has Wind, Water, and Lighting as his basic Chakra that you guys wanted but im going to make it to wear he can Change his Chakra Nature to what ever he wants, like lets say he wants to use Plama style but he doesn't have a Fire Nature he can use the Nejigan to swap Water with Fire and BOOM he can use Plasma, So yeah that's my added Idea to the Nejigan and like I said I'm using this from Reddit it's not mine, I don't want anyone saying in the comments that 'Oh you didn't make this, you stole it from someone else' which is why I'm saying it's not mine
Anyway guys and girls. I hope you enjoyed Chapter 12 of Naruto: The Dark Prince and as always show some love and support for my story I really appreciate
Also I'm sorry that this was late I literally wanted to finished this yesterday night but guess what...I fell asleep and so I woke up at 3 PM today and so I'm sorry for the delay and hopefully it won't happen again...probably
Now I will see you all in the next one
Bye bye
