Preview From Love to Hate: Crossing Paths.
Naruto cursed as he kicked off another root ninja, these guys were endless not to mention they looked exactly like the regular Anbu so he was forced to guess which one was which. Arriving at a different place he landed and was surrounded by ANBU's. He looked around circling slowly.
"Friend or foe?" He asked. When he got no reply. He engaged, his moves were quick and like a python he struck only when provoked. He slid under a jab of a anbu grabbing the offending arm he kicked the man feet from under him, still grabbing the arm he twisted it till a nasty 'crack' went around the clearing before driving his Katana into the neck of the anbu, quickly ending his screams.
He threw himself on his hands, as a ninja-to appeared above him using his hands he flipped around to land on his back before kicking the person wrist making the person release his weapon, he caught it before it hit the floor by the handle and pointed it up, the man quickly falling into his own weapon. A second Naruto appeared from behind the man, his hand outstretched like if he just finished pushing someone.
Naruto through the man off him and stood up. The silver chakra still flowing off him.. he smiled, his tai-jutsu was no where near perfection but it was a work in progress. He used a combination of Muay thai, ninjutsu and silat. Muay thai delt strong was all about speed and using any part of your body that could cause damage, which ment elbows, shins, knees, fist and even his head were all used in conjunction with one another, but these moves were all offensive and left him vulnerable for attacks, this is where his ninjutsu kicked in. Ninjutsu was a defensive stance used during the earlier era of shinobi, ninjutsu was using all of your opponents movements against them, this required him to train up his reflexes and dodging speed to a level that he could block almost anything coming, no matter the speed. But his sword was impossible to blend into the combo, as muay thai was not built for weapons as it relied on brute strength and power, and ninjutsu was defensive and fast... almost impossible for him to use a sword which was a huge lost. So he kept studying Tai-jutsu scrolls till he came across a form called silat. Silat was dangerous, as it required you to know every single detail about your blade, silat was more about timing and precision then power. Instead of hacking away at a opponent like regular ken-jutsu artist, silat was made to disable. Meaning when a opponent strikes, he would use muay thai to weaken him, ninjutsu to unarm him and silat to disable in other words kill.
The form was incomplete and it was almost pure luck he was using it now.. he guessed activating the first level of his kekkei genkai had something to do with it. He was amazed at the power at first but after a while he noticed he was getting tired a lot quicker then he was used too. The amount of chakra going through his body was making him fatigue, much like the Kyuubi chakra. If he kept this on he will pass out before he even got to his mom. He decided to count his loses and deactivated it for now. He groaned as he fell to a knee but got back up. He heard a clang behind him and smirked.
Sasuke was standing over a dead body, his reaper blade still inlodged into the person skeleton before he pulled it out and a blue outline coming out with it.
"I would never get use to you taking peoples soul like that." Naruto said. Sasuke didn't respond, he took one stare at Naruto before jumping away to catch a couple of ANBU that thought they weren't noticed and attempted to make a run for it.
"What's up with him? Did Nanashi feed him fish oil again... talking about Nanashi." A small tremor went across the land as Nanashi chakra sky rocketed before calming down. Naruto nodded, and headed in that direction. That must be where the fun is at. He jumped over a collapsed building, doing a flip in the air to avoid a couple of kunais.
"Uzumaki Naruto, we have rules from Danzou-sama to capture you. Please come quietly and we will refrain from hurting you." Naruto frowned, these ANBU looked different, their mask were blank and they all wore a black cloack that covered their whole body.
"Can I have a rain check?" He got no reply. "No? Okay then, I was just stalling for time after all." This put all the ninjas on guard.
Fuuton: Fuugekitai kabe(Wind release: wind repel.)
A blast sent them all flying threw a building. Naruto took that time to leave, he might be strong but taking on 4 ANBU levels shinobi's without his kekkei-genkai was just plain stupid.. not to mention arrogant.
He felt the four signatures back behind him but it didn't matter, he reached what he wanted.. the middle of the battle. It looked like a war-zone, he saw root and konoha ninja going around killing each other... he scanned the area loooking for his target when he made eye contact. His mom was in the middle of the fray, two katanas in hand completely decimating anyone that came near the garden.. in other words the shrine. Which made him realize what this whole thing was about.. they wanted to take his grandfather corpse!
Naruto ran across the battle, tearing down any Ne memeber he saw. Witht he help of his kekkei genkai it was much easier, by the time he reached the center of the battle his katana was dripping with blood and his cold blue/green eyes were filled with hate. He saw a ninja coming from behind his mom, she must have let one slip but just when he was about to kill him, a yellow blur came and decapitated the ninja.
Minato looked at the dead body before going to Kushina side.
"I thought I told you not to interfere!" Kushina yelled, her voice was ragged and tired.
"Since when do I listen to you?" Minato said with a smirk. "Even if you did always know best Kushi-chan." Kushina growled at the man. This was not time for him to try to kiss and make up. God she hated him, without looking she placed her katana over her left shouler a ninja being impaled by it before sliding it back out and using that same katana to kill another one that thought she was distracted.
"This is clan matters! You are braking the rules set by the first Hokage." She hissed. Minato nodded.
"So? I'm here and theres nothing you could do about it." He said before spin kicking a on coming ninja across the temple as he moved closer to Kushina for they could be back to back. Naruto was pretty much mind fucked, here they were arguing in the middle of combat and were still taking down shinobis like it was nothing, some without even looking. He wasn't stupid though, he could tell they were silently helping each other out. When Minato will look pass her shoulder, his mom would easily kill anyone behind her and Kushina did the same for him.
He had to say they were putting on a good front but it wasn't going to last long. That's when he saw it, the small glow of a kunai coming from a direction that none of the two would be able to spot. Then he saw a red-haired girl try to intercept it..'Nami? What are you doing? Your too slow. At this rate you'll..' Naruto jumped into action, using the last remaining amount of chakra he could full intent on pushing Nami out the way even if he would be left to take the hit. Time seemed to slow down as he got closer, and just when he closed his eyes about to suffer his fate he saw Kushina grabbing Nami close to her chest her back to the weapon. Naruto eyes widen if his mom took that hit she'll surely be impaired... before an arm grabbed him through him towards his mom, which cause kushina to lose her footing, and now the weapon was on a straight away for her head...
Thump.
Naruto felt blood drip over him and he didn't dare open his eyes... first his grandfather.. now his mom... this couldn't be happening.
"Are you all okay?" Naruto looked up standing over his mother and him, was the fourth Hokage.. a blade sticking out of his stomach. He coughed up some blood.
Nami looked at her father with tears in her eyes, "Tousan...no."
Kushina was shocked as she looked into Minato blue eyes from her place under him... those blue eyes brought back so much memorys.. she felt her heart skip a beat.. the blade was able to nick her shoulder nothing to deep but it was bleeding and she already felt herself losing conciousness. She stood there useless looking up at the man that just saved her and her kids... 'he was willing to die for us.. even me.. after the way I treated him.' Kushina fell over.
Naruto stared blankly at the blade sticking out of Minato and his face morthed into one of horror when he heard the all so familiar voice.
"Please come with us Uzumaki." Naruto tried to get up but noticed he twisted his ankle when he landed earlier.. and Nami was frozen in shock from what happened to Minato... he was done for. He heard footsteps getting closer and nodded this was his fate.
"You lay a hand on him.. and I'll kill you!" Said Minato, his voice coming out rough and dark. He notice Minato was now surrounded by a thin veil of green chakra, when Minato looked up, he frowned. Minato skin looked like scales and his blue eyes were slit.
"For trying to hurt my family, I will introduce you to a fate much worst then death.. the Namikaze clan Kekkei Genkai."
Mean? Yes, I know. I'm gone. I'll be back in two weeks.
