Chapter 8 Arms and Armor of the War God
Naruto and the guard of the twin dragon sabers clash in masterful combat with each duel wielding swords. Both are clashing with determination trying to overcome one another. the guardian seems faster. Naruto is greatly keeping up with the guardian thanks to his increased agility. Naruto is noticing something odd about how the guardian fights. He sees and analyzes the fight pattern of his style, sensing something odd with how the dragon themed swordsman is moving as if he's using the very winds itself. Naruto soon comes to the conclusion that the guardian's fighting style is built around the element of wind itself enhancing the warrior's movements.
Naruto, discovering this, adapts and uses the fire element to boost his speed to match the Dragon swordsman. Soon Naruto with masterful skill disarms the Dragon swordsman of both his swords.
"Superb your skill and ability as a combatant is remarkable. Your instincts are decisive and well honed. You are worthy of the twin dragon sabers." praised the dragon swordsman as he transforms into a key seal.
Naruto picks up the seal and goes towards the sealed chamber. He places the seal in the disc shape keyhole. Soon the Chamber doors open to reveal two sword grips with a prong guard and ergonomic design. Naruto confused moves and picks the saber handles up. Soon the saber handles emit blades made of fire and wind.
Naruto, surprised at the saber's design, holds the sabers properly, twirling and swinging them with purpose. Seeing how they function similarly to the sword of the thunder god.
'Hmm a fitting name for two blades with the power of two quintessential life bringing elements' thought Naruto as he turns around to leave until he sees a woman with long violet hair with jade eyes in a blue flak jacket and shorts. She had a headband with the symbol of a star on the center of it. Holding a katana towards him.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked the woman in question.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze , I traveled a long way to find the weapons of Hachimon the god of war created for me before I was born." answered Naruto as the woman is shocked and disbelieving at the statement.
"Get real. Why would Hachimon give you the twin dragon sabers." asked the woman in question.
"It's due to me being his avatar." said Naruto as he turns around to reveal the completed shin tao symbol with the white falcon, azure dragon and white tiger. The woman looks at it in surprise.
"I have heard of the legend, but I never thought it would be true." said the woman in question.
Naruto transforms into the white tiger beast man, which surprises her as he morphs back into his human state with the white falcon senjutsu state, and soon morphs into his Azure dragon beast man state. Greatly surprising the woman.
"Incredible" said the woman as she looks at the bi morphic beast man.
"So, ma'am who might you be might I ask" asked Naruto as he looks at the woman in question.
"I am Natsuhi Jonin of Hoshigakure. I was looking for the twin dragon sabers." answered the now named Natsuhi.
"What purpose do you have with the sabers" asked a curious Naruto
"I need them to overwhelm the militant faction that has taken control of my village that seeks to restart the star training method." explained Natsuhi as Naruto looks even more interested in the woman's story.
"What is the star training method?" asked a curious Naruto.
"It's a method of training that involves the absorption of chakra coming from a meteorite. It would improve the performance of a Shinobi's ability to use Ninjitsu. However, the star training method has caused a side effect with many of its past users dying from overdose of the enhanced chakra is gives out. I am possibly the only one who has not experienced such a fate." explained Natsuhi as Naruto looks shocked at such a dangerous method being brought back in the curriculum of a village.
"Will you allow me to use the twin dragon sabers?" asked Natsuhi as she looks at the blonde beast warrior.
"It depends on whether they can be wielded by another outside of me" said Naruto as he hands Natsuhi the sabers.
Natsuhi for her part is unable to activate the saber despite her enhanced chakra. Natsuhi looks at Naruto in question.
"Why aren't these working" asking Naruto.
"It's Hachimon doing, he made it to where those of either evil intent or not his avatar are not able to call upon their power." explained Naruto as Natsuhi is disappointed at this until she hears something of great fortune.
"I will help you and your village" said Naruto as Natsuhi lights up with happiness.
"Thank you Uzumaki Namikaze. I will be forever grateful for your help" said Natsuhi in a happy tone of voice.
"Don't thank me yet let's go, we have lives to save and a faction to wipe out." said Naruto as he and Natsuhi move out of the chamber.
Timeskip 5 hours later.
In an underground location in the village hidden in the stars. A man with robes of a Kage is walking through a hallway towards the location of a training ground of sorts with his two advisors. Inside he and the advisors see a rock glowing with extremely potent chakra. Looking at the rock with lust for power he admires it. Soon however he hears sounds of shouting and fighting outside of the dojo he goes to see Natsuhi and Naruto fighting off the group of Anbu loyal only to him.
Naruto with the twin dragon sabers is cutting apart the attacking Anbu. Natsuhi is fighting off several Anbu captains.
The Duo tear apart the Anbu in question. Naruto and Natsuhi look their way prepared to fight the trio.
"Ah Natsuhi how good that we won't have to find you and I see you brought a friend with you. I bury you two together." said the man as he discards his robes revealing battle armor.
"This madness ends today, Akahoshi. I will not allow you to kill more kids for your power-hungry dreams" said Natsuhi as she charges at Akahoshi.
Soon a fierce battle ensures between the 5 highly skilled ninja. Naruto was fighting a two on one battle against the advisors. Natsuhi and Akahoshi are going back and forth. Soon the Shinobi Duo overpower the treacherous star trio.
"I'm not beaten yet" said Akahoshi as he uses his ninjitsu to drain his advisors of their chakra and places the star on his chest. His body gains muscle mass as Natsuhi watches in horror at his transformation.
"Time to die" said Akahoshi as Naruto Gestures for Natsuhi to stand aside.
"Not yet" said Naruto as he transforms into his green dragon man state.
The two battles in fierce Ninjitsu battle. Akahoshi is powerful but Naruto is more skilled. Slowly Akahoshi starts to lose ground as well as become physically unstable due to the enhance chakra slowly tearing his body apart cell by cell. Both get into a grapple Akahoshi is fighting a losing battle as his strength starts to leave him. Naruto senses his opponent's weakness. Exploits it by using a scissors takedown on Akahoshi. The beast warrior proceeds to tear out the meteorite in Akahoshi's chest. Akahoshi begins to destabilize at a rapid pace and soon there is nothing left of the form of the self-made forth Hoshikage..
"Good riddance" said Naruto as Natsuhi ties up the two advisors.
"Thank you, Naruto, but what now." asked Natsuhi curious about the young blonde.
"You need to remove the bad branches in your tree. While I absorb the energies of the meteorite" said Naruto as Natsuhi looks at her in shock.
"But Naruto it could kill you" said Natsuhi worried about the blonde in front of her.
"Not to worry, Natsuhi, my green dragon state, has the bonus of absorbing Senjutsu chakra. I will be fine. Plus, I would need to take it with me so your village could start off fresh without relying on this dangerous chakra source." reasoned Naruto as Natsuhi nods in agreement.
"I am off the future is safe in your hands Natsuhi just be sure Bastards like these don't get power ever again." said Naruto as he leaves. Natsuhi for her part is smiling at how Naruto gave her a future to look forward to.
In Konoha
The Uzumaki Namikaze brides and lovers are having a girls night out. Each one having a great time with one another. As they each talk about their hobbies and fashion sense.
The night is going great until a certain Inuzuka walks up to Hinata.
"Heh Hinata why don't you ditch the freak and get with a champ." said Kiba in a cocky tone.
"Kiba I'm already with a champ and he's a whole lot better than a runt like you." said Hinata as many of the Uzumaki Namikaze wives are laughing at the Inuzuka being rejection.
Ryusei for his part is having a candlelight dinner with Tsunade at a fancy restaurant.
"So Darling how was your day been going" asked Ryusei curious about his lover's well-being.
"Very nice Ryusei darling. However, Jiraiya had tried to break us up. But I took care of him" said Tsunade as he looks at her lover in question.
"He'll learn how to accept it. But enough about him lets enjoy the evening while the night begins to fall. Especially when it complements your beautiful dress and eyes" said Ryusei as Tsunade for her part giggles and smiles at Ryusei's compliment.
"Such a charmer" said Tsunade as her foot creases his groin that is becoming erect.
"Check please" said Ryusei as he and Tsunade look at each other with bedroom eyes.
In the Uchiha Compound.
Satsuki is told news she is never known to be delightful. "So, I get to be married to that primal Adonis. I could already see his eyes" said Satsuki, thinking of a certain blonde.
"Oh, that's not all Satsuki" said Mikoto in a smiling tone that makes her daughter light up even more delightment.
Back with Naruto
Naruto has been traveling on foot towards Vegetable Country for two days. The Star from Hoshigakure is growing dimmer by the day. He had been absorbing so much of the chakra into his body. It started to affect him in a more positive manner. As his build grows from rivaling Jiraiya's to surpassing his slightly.
As he walks he smells something in the distance. He recognizes it as the smell of blood. Moving towards the area Naruto discovers a Root Anbu style camp site. He senses that the Anbu Operatives aren't inside of the tents.
'Hmm empty. Knowing them they may have found the entrance but are most likely dead.' thought Naruto as he moves swiftly and silently through the camp as to not arise suspicion. He sees the entrance to the chamber.
He smells the scent of blood through the air. Naruto moves in the entrance of the temple. He looks around to see the guardian on a throne looking board.
"Are you the guardian of the King Tiger Armor." asked a curious but cautious Naruto as he looks at the armored warrior.
"Yes I am. You may come and claim it but be warned any misstep and you will be skew by spears hidden around the environment." said the guardian as he gestures all around the environment.
Naruto using his heightened senses moves cautiously and determined through the environment. Naruto senses something about the traps uses his Falcon sight to sense out the environment ahead. Walking and avoiding the trigger plates around the environment. He soon closes the distance and is walking up the steps towards the guardian.
"Superb thinking Naruto. But the next part is tricky. For you have two riddles to solve." revealed the Guardian.
Naruto looks at him and says "Asked them"
"Very well. The first riddle when an unstoppable force meets and immovable object what happens." asked The Guardian.
Naruto thinks 'an Unstoppable force is met by an immovable object what happens' he then answers. "The Unstoppable force surrenders" The guardian looks at him and says
"Correct" said the guardian "Now the second to last one. You are given the death sentence and you have to choose one door out of six doors, door 1 has a pack of wolves, door 2 a spike pit, door 3 has a tornado full of swords, door 4 has an unseen killer in the dark, door 5 has a river full of 10 Komodo dragons that each hasn't been feed in 8 months, door 6 has a lethal beast man. Which one do you choose and tell why" asked the Guardian.
Naruto thinks on the question. all six doors carry a danger that can end his life if he was a normal man however one out of the others wouldn't be able to do so.
'Hmm the pack of wolves are dangerous, spike pit lethal, tornado is very dangerous, an unseen killer scary, lethal beast man heck extremely dangerous. Wait Komodo Dragons that haven't been feed in 8 weeks. That's right' thought Naruto as he has a moment of realization.
"Door 5 would be my chose." answered Naruto as the Guardian looks at him and asks "Why?"
"Because a Komodo dragon can only go without eating for 1 to 1 a half months. 8 months would be to long even with the Komodo dragons devouring each other the last one would still die due to the Komodo not eating for half a month." answered Naruto as the Tiger guardian looks at the blonde as he gets up from the throne and says" You are correct the armor of the King Tiger is yours" Soon the guardian glows to reveal the King Tiger Armor in all of it's glory. Naruto senses that his clothing is tearing apart as the star becomes an inert meteorite. The seal holding the Kyuubi soon releases the beast in a more humanoid form with the release of power Naruto is knocked to the ground. Soon a man with blood red hair, crimson red eyes, a build and face akin to a young warrior king that would get many warrior women attracted. He wears clothing akin to a yamabushi warrior as he comes from the small pillar of energy.
"I am free" said the man in question.
"Yes you are Kyuubi" said Naruto as he looks at the humanoid Kyuubi No Kitsune.
"So, what will happened now" asked Naruto Curious of the Bijuu humanoid in question.
"Well, I would like to find a purpose somewhere, but I have a feeling I need to lay low for a while. But don't worry I will repay settle my debt with Konoha in an equally beneficial way" said the Bijuu as he moves towards the exist with incredible speed greatly out running the oncoming spears,
'Might as well follow his lead' thought Naruto as he moves towards the entrance.
As he moves towards entrance, he notices that the Beastified human is nowhere to be seen.
'I have a feeling I will be seeing the tailed beast again' thought Naruto as he moves towards a tent to changes into his armor.
Back in Konoha in Anbu headquarters
Hiruzen is studying several drafts on schematics for new Anbu armor and gear. Seeing as his Anbu needs an update on gear and equipment that will tell them apart from Root Anbu.
He looks at a particular set that will do just the trick.
'Hmm I like to see spies get into my ranks now' Thought Hiruzen as he goes towards the lead blacksmith in question.
In Suna
A trio of genin are walking towards a fire country one a red-haired girl with tanuki liner on her eyes looks in the west as if sensing something of great power.
'I hope mother will be pleased by the blood of whatever that is.' thought the red-haired girl as she continues walking.
Chapter end.
Thank you all for your patience for waiting for this chapter. I will deliver more for the next chapter for this story and my others.
Author's note:
For How Kurama was able to escape the seal is due to the star from star village was essentially acting as a third party power source that equals the chakra potency of Kurama as well as possible exceed it.
Yes I essentially made twin chakra sabers with two distinct chakra elements for the sabers.
Fem Garra and one other person will be in the harem so stay tone.
