Naruto sighed. Now heres the thing about good plans that go wrong. One Shikamaru plan was full proof. Two he knew exactly what he was suppose to do, and he did it. And then came three murphys law.
Now him being Naruto was enough, I mean everything he did went bad. Now when you add murphys law, well. You end up with this situation. He was about eight thousand feet in the air thanks to a very well, almost lethal shot from one of the three tails, tails. Now if that wasn't enough he was bleeding. Badly. So if the fall didn't kill him, he would eventually bleed out.
But believe it or not, that wasn't the worst part. Nope. The worst part was the glob of hot lava coming at him courtesy of Mei. Oh, how he loved her. She picked this exact moment to extract her revenge. It was pitiful, but he didn't blame her. But trust me, that wasn't the worst part. Oh no, the worst part had yet to come.
Naruto sighed before pain shot across his body. The kyuubi, his holiness was being a jerk. Not only did he not want to heal him, which wasn't new. The beast inside him decided he didn't want to give him his power. Talk about pickinng the perfect time to be vengeful. The beast would rather die then help him, Okay maybe he understood but it didn't make it any better.
Then he had Tsunade yelling at him to watch out, which was nice of her but considering the fact he couldn't feel his body it was a rather useless suggestion. That's where Hinata really came into play.
Said girl was currently dashing across the water, with hopes of catching my frail body, soon to he carcass. He admired her determination but her goal was going to end up in failure. Did he mention the thing about not giving a fuck? Well for maybe a moment. He actually did, but that moment was over, and now it was time to face the reality. He was fucked.
Flashback
"Naruto do you remember the plan?" Shikamaru asked. It was about a quarter to dawn, and the team was ready to move. Team Mizu had already established their position, they were to set up a blockade around the forest that surrounded the pound, they were to give off a signal if any outside factors came into play. They set up multiple lines with the shinobis told to report there positions every three minutes via radio. In the life of Shinobi three minutes was a long time, but it was the best average they could come up with. Not to mention they set up layers of blockades not just one, it would take about three minutes to reach each line so that was also a plus.
Mei Hinata, Tsunade and some select few other shinobis were to act as the sealers of the beast. Once they caught it they will place the beast inside of a scroll before handing it over to Mei.
Naruto, himself, and Lee were going to be the distraction. Well more like he was going to sit back and give orders while Lee protected him from any dangers while Naruto did his thing with the beast which was pretty much to soften it up for it couldn't fight against the seal. Naruto had the biggest piece of the cake, just like he asked for now all he had to do was deliver. They had Itachi but Naruto denied him any type of involvement in the mission. Which meant Naruto thought of Itachi as a valuable asset. Why? Who knew.
"Yeah, beat the shit up and go home." Naruto said.
"Yosh! Even in the face of danger your flames of youth burn brightly!" Naruto looked down at himself making sure he wasn't on fire again before nodding.
"Yeah, I guess your right." Hinata frowned something was off about Naruto. If she remembered anything about him was that before a fight Naruto would be serious as could be, but even know he was calm. Something was bothering him.
'You cant use my powers Naruto.'
"I know."
'I mean none of them.'
"Why?"
'A lot of people here don't know your a jinchuriki.'
"What do you mean?"
Kyuubi sighed.
'Listen Mitsu or Tobi is still around here. So far he knows that your strong but he doesn't know you have me. If he does they'll come after you too, and they have things they could use against you.'
"Like?"
'Koyuki.'
"That is troubling."
'Exactly. So play your cards smart, and just to let you know I would not help you under any circumstances. So its either you go hard from the beginning or you'll face the consequences.'
"Let's get it."
'Yes, you better get it.'
"Naruto its time the beast is coming up. Do your thing." Naruto sighed, before removing his cape. He didn't want to mess it up he just bought it.
He walked onto the water smoothly.
"Be careful Naruto." Hinata yelled. Naruto just smirked.
"Relax, what's the worst that could happen?" He had a bad feeling in his stomach before he shook it off.
"Time to show this bitch a lesson in the art of Naruto." The beast fully emerged it looked around before it laid eyes on Naruto, His eyes glowed red before it turned into a ball and like a bulldozer headed straight towards Naruto. Who for the most part was still walking calmy towards the beast, before his eyes activated, sliding his thumb across his forearm his blade appeared.
"Hi: Inabikari." The green flames shot forward like a bullet slamming into the beast, the beast yelled as its armour was pierced.
Before it unfolded and released a roar that shook the surrounding. The water rocked under its power, and Naruto channeled more chakra to his legs. To stay a float.
"Oh? Did the little baby not like being hit." Naruto mocked before jumping up, his eyes glowed before the beast yelled in silent agony as cuts began to appear all over its body.
"I'm not done yet." Naruto said before a small ball appeared on his shoulder and shot into the beast stomach, the beast screamed like never before before the ball turned red and exploded. The beast was sent thumbling across the water.
Naruto was mindful not to be careless like last time. If this was going to be a fight it was going to be a long distance one. He still felt the pain in his hand.
Just as he figured the beast got back up. And it didn't seem to happy not to mention the bruise on his stomach was gone but the wound on his shell was still there. He took note of this but filed it off for next time.
The next moment he felt pain as one of the beast tails came from under the water; he managed to put up a small guard but it wasn't enough. He tumbled across the water, cursing with every skip before he slammed into a tree. And once again he was really starting to hate fighting things that didn't die in one hit.
Getting up he spit out some blood, before looking at the beast.
"Fine, let's have it your way." Naruto said going through a couple of handsigns.
Fire style: Great fire ball technique
quickyly going through another set he yelled.
Wind style: Wind dragon projectile
the flames amplified to astronomical amount before it charged towards the beast. Three tails balled up giving the attack to its shell.
"Sorry but that wont save you." Naruto yelled before he went through another set of handsigns and the flames turned green.
Combo Technique: Hi Inabikari Projectile
the flames slammed into the beast like a bullet hitting the exact same point as the earlier one. For a second it looked like nothing was going to happen before a crack was heard quickly followed by a roar before the technique exploded.
Naruto smirked he hated using techniques they were to time consuming but he had to do what he had to do, not to mention he was already at sixty percent of his regular chakra capacity.
When the smoke cleared off a small piece of the turtle shell was hanging from his skin.
Naruto smirked.
"Payback." The beast sounded like it was howling. Naruto pressed forward, it was time to deliver another orb and that should knock it out and then he'll be on his way home.
The next moment he was kicked in the head from behind before the water underneath him turned to a boil, quickly followed by a pain in his chest that he knew shouldn't be there. Looking down he saw a kunai stabbed into his stomach with a smirking Mei lookig down at him.
"Payback." The three tails saw his target was weak and from underneath Naruto a tail hit him with much more force then before sending him flying into the air.
"Damn it."
Shikamaru frowned. Mei betrayed them.
Tsunade frowned all she could think about was Kushina and Minato.
Hinata was wide eyes. There was no way Naruto could survive that. Before she asked her brain to cooperate she was already running full speed towards him.
flashback end.
Murphys law. Now he had two options, one was use his sekai to stop the glob of lava and hope Hinata would catch him. Or two use his remaining strength to place his body in a way that the lava would miss him, and hope that Hinata caught him.
Then all those options were thrown out the window when he heard the familiar whistle of a tail beast bomb.
So now, he had one option. Use the Sekai to stop which deadly technique. So lets see.
Die under the effects of molten magma or be obliterated in a second with no remains to be found. Magma, Obliterated. Magma, Obliterated. Magma, Obliterated.
He chose Magma. The next moment the beast ball was repelled and sent to the side. One thing he didn't take into consideration was the fact that using the sekai while being near death drove your chakra level from sixty to five extremely quickly not to mention the power he had to use to make the wind make his body turn around for that he could see the bomb more clearly.
So that meant, he'll past out in three, two, one. His world went dark.
'Fuck murphys law.'
Koyuki yelled as the cup of tea she was sipping from cracked.
'Naruto?'
"Guards!" The next moment the room was filled.
"Yes Koyuki-sama!"
"I want trains to be ready in 15 minutes with enough Shinobis that we don't have to stop until we get to the land of waves! Now!"
"Yes! Ma'am!"
Koyuki panicked as she paced back and forth in her room as she waited for her escorts.
"When ever your ready." Koyuki dashed out the room with one thing in mind.
'Idiot!'
Zabuza frowned as he looked over the ocean. The waves were acting strange.
'Naruto.'
Nanami looked into the distance before she too turned to a picture of her and Naruto. He had his regular outfit on but he had his eyes activated an uncommon trait, a small crack appeared across his head and she frowned.
"Guards."
"Yes princess?"
"Ready the trains. I have a feeling we'll have to go to Asguard."
"Yes ma'am."
Itachi frowned.
"He was too late." His eyes were bleeding but Naruto was safe well as safe as a half burned arm and leg, while also bleeding from his stomach and chakra exhaustion.
He made sure to leave a body dummy in Naruto place as he hurried across the forest avoiding as many guards as possible and killing the ones he couldn't. He needed to get Naruto to asguard. Now.
He looked back and saw the sealing jutsu in the distance with the beast yelling in pain. Before it disappeared.
So that was the plan. Have Naruto help them, and then wait for the right moment to take him out. He sighed. Before looking at Naruto and for a little time he actually saw it. Naruto was just a kid.
"You better live." But he knew it was useless his chest hasn't moved since he caught him.
Mindscrape.
'It's getting dark. That idiot."
'I told you he was nothing without me.'
Kyuubi snorted.
'You're worst then them.'
the man nodded.
'But if he would've followed me, he wouldn't be in this position.'
'He's dying'
'Yeah seems like it.'
Naruto sighed as he looked at the white plain he was at. It was just him and Nanashi looking at each other.
"You fucked up."
"You did too."
"Yeah but I was expecting you to fix my fuck up."
"And I was expecting you to tell me how."
Naruto smirked.
"Man, Koyuki must be pissed." Namashi nodded.
"Well I guess we got nothing left to do but train."
"We're dead. Why waste time doing that."
Nanashi smirked.
"Exactly we're dead. Why not?" Naruto nodded.
"Can't argue with that."
"Naruto I am going to put you in a world of pain for failing my dying wish." Naruto smirked.
"Oh yeah?"
"I'm going to rekill you." Naruto looked at him strangely.
"That's possible." Nanashi shrugged.
"Let's find out."
"In the famous words of a very stuck up person, take a number."
"I did. And I'm next in line!"
