Chapter 7: Reincarnation of Asura, and seal of vengeance

The fight had been long and tiring for both opponents, Naruto depleting almost all his Mana while Zabuza with his water clones tried to keep up with Tatsurian, Gilaflame the Assaulter, and the Jōnin

Zabuza was beginning to run out of chakra and looks at Naruto.

"You know kid, you're pretty impressive with those summons, but what can specifically you do?" Zabuza says with a villainous grin as a water clone comes out of nowhere and slashes down at Naruto with a Kunai.

"NARUTO!" Yell the sensei until they hear the sound of metal hitting wood.

"Simple really, Wood style Bamboo spike spear jutsu(Mokuton Take ho sōjutsu)."

As bamboo spikes appear to try and strike Zabuza they're stopped by the Executioner blade as Zabuza then jumps back from Kakashi trying to sneak attack him.

'Tch this kid has wood style, I got to get out of here and fast, damn it where is she!?' As Zabuza thinks this Zenban needles are lodged into his throat as a hidden mist Anbu appears.

"Thank you, I have been hunting this rogue ninja for a while and hadn't been able to find an opening in his defenses, your village will be compensated." As the Anbu grabs Zabuza's body and disappears.

"Sasuke Uchiha, after this mission is over you and I will be talking with the hokage about what happened, and Naruto nice job staying cool and surprising Zabuza."

"There's no need Kakashi sensei, I mostly relied no my training from masters Yamato and Jiraiya, and he wasn't a problem with Tatsurian and Gilaflame here."

"Still that doesn't mean you should slack on your training Naruto."

"Thank you Tatsurian, you and Gilaflame can go back to the fire civilization now." As Naruto does the hand gestures to send them back to the fire civilization, Sasuke tries to escape with them but is caught by Kiba tackling him to the ground, halting his escape.

"Let go of me you weakling, I demand you release me at once!"

"Not happening duck butt hair!" As Kiba says this he does a pressure point attack on Sasuke and knocks him out.

"Why did you do that to him!? He didn't do anything to you!"

"He was trying to escape, and we weren't going to let him anywhere in the five civilizations even if he tried."


Time skip to when they got to Tazuna's house and Inari begins to badmouth them and when Sasuke threatened him Naruto smacked Sasuke upside the head with his staff. "Tch annoying brat, don't step out of place again, but as for your question about Gato's men, hahahahaaaa you don't have to worry about them for long."

As Naruto takes a sip of the tea he was given Inari said something that had even Naruto off guard.

"Tch it's not like you have wood style and can activate the shrine of Asura with your probably fake Uzumaki blood."

When the ninja heard this they turned to Naruto expecting for him to be offended but instead he was smiling.

"Wait, did you say that there was a shrine for Asura?"

"Yeah what about it!"

As Naruto stands up and walks to Inari, he places a hand on his shoulder.

"Guide me there, and you'll see my power."


[land of waves, outside the village]

When Kakashi and team 8 follow Naruto and Inari they see a fabulous temple with a massive three faced, nine armed being.

"Inari, how many steps are there to take?" Asks Naruto.

"It's a ramp."

"Huh, wheelchair and blind accessible, interesting."

As Naruto begins to walk up to the temple the villagers came because Tazuna asked everyone to come to the temple, when Naruto was about to pass through the gate Kakashi appeared next to him.

"Are you sure about this Naruto, this Asura temple looks sketchy."

"There's nothing to fear from my ancestor."

"What?"

"Trust me when I say this, Sasuke wouldn't even get the power if he wanted it, since he's a descendant of Indura and not Asura."

"Just, be careful, my right eye is."

"The Sharingan will have a bit of a negative effect for a while, just keep pouring your chakra into it to keep it calm, we'll find a way to negate its effects soon."

"...Alright Naruto, good luck."

"I don't believe in luck."

As Naruto passes through the gate he disappears shocking everyone.


[True inside of the Asura temple, village of waves]

When Naruto was transported into a strange place he gripped his staff with a bit of fear, then began to do the Kata for the darkness civilization. He starts by pushing both fists downward in front of him. Then he raised his right arm up and backwards and swung his left arm forwards in front of his chest. He then reverse the stance with his left arm up and backwards and his right arm forwards in front of his chest. Finally he swung his right arm back and then swing it down and forward with an open palm facing upward and his fingers bent upward, and called the beast he wanted to summon. "Scaradorable of gloom hollow!" As he does this he's surrounded by purple shadows as Squeaky comes out of the veil and goes to cuddle with Naruto.

"Yes it's good to see you too Squeaky, but I need you as my guide right now, two squeaks for yes one for no, now is there any form of light in the area?" As Naruto hears two squeaks he puts out his hand as Squeaky takes it. "Guide me in the darkness, my dear friend."


[minutes past his entering of the temple]

When they were deep into the temple Squeaky suddenly stopped and Naruto grew confused by this action until Squeaky put his hand on what seemed to be a pedestal of some sort with brail carved into it.

"Ah now I understand, thank you my friend." As Squeaky squeaks in happiness she steps back so Naruto could feel the text.

[carvings]

"This temple's true nature can only be accessed by the reincarnation of Asura with the power of wood release."

[present]

As Naruto began to feel his way around the pedestal his hand moves to the center of its top as it begins to glow and then flashes as Squeaky covers her eyes as Naruto is pulled into his mindscape.

[Naruto's mindscape]

As Kushina and Minato were enjoying their time together with Kurama they suddenly feel as Naruto had done something stupid as the turn to see him and he's being carried by another man with the same cloak as Hashirama.

"Greetings."


[Naruto's mindscape hours later]

As Naruto wakes up he looks up and feels his mother's presence above him as he sits up and sits on his legs. "So what exactly happened, and who is our unexpected guest?"

"Asura, apparently you're his reincarnation, as crazy as it sounds, it makes since that you're his reincarnation due to him originally having wood style."

"Oh come brother is that anyway to introduce your brother, but what Kurama said was right, I'm impressed that you were able to come up with that bamboo one, I never thought about carrying seeds of other plant life to use as weapons."

"So I'm your reincarnation...wait wouldn't that make the first Hokage my past life too?"

"Yep, tho he never went to the temple to gain my full abilities, but surprisingly he had my wood style, which is fascinating."

"So, do you know of a way to negate the effect of your presence on the Sharingan?"

"Well the best way to do it is with seals, and since I myself was a seal master in my time we can figure out how to make it."


Hours pass and Naruto learned a lot from Asura during those few hours he also learned about the Rasengan and developed the idea for a variation of it in the future, among other jutsu.

"I believe that it is my time to head back to my friends."

"Good luck Naruto, and don't go chasing girls like master Jiraya!" Yells Minato with a grin.

"And make sure if you find a girl, make sure she's a keeper, oh and if you end up having a harem don't forget any of them!" Yells Kushina with a shit eating grin.

"MOM!!" Yells Naruto with a massive blush.

"Oh and don't forget to pick up my sword on your way out." Says Asuma

"Right I won't."


[outside the temple]

It had only been a few minutes since Naruto had entered the temple and both Kakashi and team 8 were waiting for him to reappear and as he did with a new staff, Hinata instantly goes to his side and guides him down the ramp as the villagers cheered on Naruto for completing a prophecy they had with the Uzumaki clan.

"Well this certainly was a one in a million chance wasn't it?"

"So what's with the new staff Naruto?"

"It's something special that's for sure, it belonged to my great grandfather who was the one who made the deal with Konoha during the warring states period's last legs."'Even though that is true, it was also the weapon of Asura himself so there's a lot to unpack with that can of worms, that and the remnants of my parents are literally in my head so it's not to crazy.'

"Cool, so does it like summon a giant eel or something that you can control and fight with?" Asks Kiba looking at the staff in awe.

"Hahahaha no but it surprisingly has a type of seal that Kakashi might know very fondly." As Naruto lifts the staff and points to a certain part of it, Kakashi's normal eye grows into the size of a dinner plate, then promptly passes out.

"I was expecting the shock but not enough for him to faint."


When the group got Kakashi to wake up and they head back to the rest of the group Sasuke strides up to Naruto.

"Hand me anything that was in the temple that you got, including any scrolls that you obtained." Demanded Sasuke looking as smug as ever.

"The only thing I have it my staff, and some Kunai that are useless to you Uchiha, you can't order me around like the villagers, because unlike them, I don't care about my status as a Shinobi, all I care about is protecting my friends who see me for who I am, not as a jailer for the nine tails, you useless fool." As Naruto walks past Sasuke, he turns to Naruto and points his finger at him.

"I Sasuke Uchiha challenge you to a fight, and if you don't, I'll tell everyone that you're a coward that refuses to fight, and you won't use any of those beasts nor your wood style!"

As everyone turned to Naruto they were surprised to see him smirking at Sasuke.

"Fine you fool, I'll show you what happens when you combine the yellow flash and the red hot-blooded Habanero, with the might of the nine tails."


We see Naruto and Sasuke standing in front of each other far from the village to where no property damage would occur.

"I Kakashi Hatake will be the referee for this match, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, are you two ready?"

"I Sasuke Uchiha, am ready to beat this welp!"

"I Naruto Uzumaki, head of the Uzumaki clan and the last of my clan, wielder of the nine tails and wood style, the blind shinobi, am ready to beat some sense into this brat."

"Alright then...BEGIN!!"

Sasuke charges at Naruto with a fuma shuriken slashing down at Naruto, as Sakura was secretly hoping the Sasuke would harm Naruto she was surprised when Naruto dodged Sasuke's attack and rammed his staff into his side sending Sasuke flying.

As Sasuke lands on his feet skidding he begins to do the hand seals for the fire ball jutsu and fires it at Naruto.

As the fireball gets closer Naruto smirks in satisfaction. "Sealing Jutsu: Adamantine Sealing Chains (Fūin no jutsu adamantain fūin kusari)."

As soon as those words left Naruto's lips he does a matrix dodge as chakra chains wrap around Sasuke as he tries to break them as Naruto stands back up. "Give up Sasuke, that's the Uzumaki adamantine sealing chains not even the might of the tail beasts can break them if their caster has no fear in them, and I hold no fear in facing you, only pity for your family, knowing that you're going down a path that'll lead you only to destruction."

"RELEASE ME AT ONCE AND FIGHT ME LIKE A REAL NINJA!!!" Demands Sasuke yelling at the top of his lungs.

"I did, and I doubt that you'll ever kill your brother, for he doesn't see you as strong, tho he was going to leave the children I guess he changed his mind when he saw how weak you were."

"DON'T YOU DARE TALK BAD ABOUT MY CLAN, THEY DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE KILLED!!!"

"Oh and letting them go and preform a cue was! Get your head out of the gutter Uchiha, why do you think I don't refer to you as my rival or even someone to be feared, it's because your anger is going to be the end of you and you'll never be stronger than your brother because he never let hatred consume his soul, he was probably the only one that saw that the Uchiha were a threat, but left you so that you could hopefully make your clan greater than it was before, I guess your clan will be lost forever if you're the sol survivor of it."

As Naruto walks away and back to his group he gets slapped by Sakura.

"How could you say that to him, don't you see how it hurt him, he-" before she could say another word she's slapped by Naruto with a backhand and fell to the ground. "It's you that doesn't see the bigger picture, he's not fit for this line of work, and clearly you aren't either, we're ninja, we lay down our lives to protect those back home, not for some boy that's a total brat, maybe you should have been sent back to the academy, then you wouldn't have been so useless." Naruto then walks away with his face showing only disappointment for the two.

'That was harsh but he was right, Sasuke is to consumed by rage to think clearly and Sakura is only focused on her looks and Sasuke, how is it that the one that had the least chances of being a shinobi is even better than the self proclaimed prodigy of his generation, we might have to get new members for our team if this keeps up, I just hope nothing bad happens to Naruto before then, Minato sensei, if with you were here to see how strong your son became.' Thinks Kakashi while following Naruto.


[three days later in the forest near the village]

Naruto is meditating under a tree without his eye covered, while various wildlife gathers around him, birds, rabbits, squirrels and the like, when suddenly he could feel someone come close to him as they were looking at him while trying not to disturb him. "I could feel your presence without breaking my meditation you know."

The figure jumped back in surprise as Naruto turns his head in their direction. "Could I help you?"

"Well um you're sitting on the herbs that I need for a friend."

"Oh my apologies, I wasn't expecting these herbs to be collected." As Naruto says this he stands up, opening his eyes and with ease gets up, this action surprises the figure.

"You're really blind."

"Yeah but I don't think of it as a handicap as many people think." As Naruto says this he puts his blindfold back on.

"I understand, you use your blindness to your advantage, tricking others into thinking you're weaker than you are."

"That and I have more than one trick up my sleeve."

"Oh like what?"

"Like the fact that I know you're the fake Anbu collecting information on me for Zabuza."

The figures eyes widen in surprise as they take a step back from him.

"The one you should be worried about is that brat of a Uchiha, he's off his rocker, he shouldn't even be a ninja with his anger issues, me on the other hand, I like to get to know my opponents, tell me, you have a kekkei genkai don't you?"

"One my name is Haku, and yes I do."

"I'm guessing you're not gonna reveal it until we fight?"

"If you did watch my fight with your master then no."

"Well Haku, you have at least one week to help your master recover, I suggest you also look into your employer, he seems like he might betray you just to save money."

Haku is shocked by this but keeps her cool and just nods.

"So tell me, is the reason you stay with Zabuza is so you don't feel alone?"

"He was the one to take me in after my father killed my mother and tried to kill me because of the villagers fearing kekkei genkai of my family."

"Yes I heard that the Kaguya Clan had tried to attack Kirigakure people started to kill off kekkei genkai users like the Yuki clan and their ice style...so that's your kekkei genkai, you're of the Yuki clan aren't you?"

"...Yes, how did you figure that out?"

"Your chakra was as fluid as water and as gentle as the breeze, putting two and two together and the fact that the Yuki clan's kekkei genkai was the combination of water and wind, it was easy."

"Alright what's your chakra nature?"

"I have four them being water, earth, wind and lightning."

"You have four releases!?"

"Yep."

"


[Land of Waves bridge one week later]

Teams 7, 8, and 10 were on the bridge with Sasuke right next to Naruto and Sakura.

"Listen well dope, I'm going to be the one that gets the first kill out of all of us, understand."

"Not every battle has to end in death Sasuke, sometimes words are all you need."

"This is a life or death situation Naruto, don't be stupid, we have to fight, there's no other way."

"Ah Sakura, so smart yet so stupid, words can do a lot of things, it's how you used them in conjunction with your opponent is what matters."

"What did you call me you blind moron!?"

"I called you dumb, because you refuse to see the bigger picture."

"Tch no matter Sasuke will win against any opponent with his Sharigan."

"Hmph that I will."

'Idiots, can't they see they're getting ahead of themselves, I swear they're perfect for each other.'

"Tch that damn Uchiha reminds me a lot of his father in that he was always arrogant."

"Hate to say it but he has a point, Fugaku did gain the title of wicked eye Fugaku." Says Minato crossing his arms.

"Naruto show them the might of the Uzumaki!" Yells Kushina.

"But remember to keep your focus on your opponent's movements."

'I will.'

Suddenly a heavy mist rolled in and two figures appeared from it.

"Here they are." Says Kakashi reaching for his headband lifting it to reveal a Sharingan.

"Well well well you all came to protect my target, I have to say, that's commitment." Says Zabuza slamming his sword into the ground then cracks his knuckles and neck.

"I'll take care of the Uchiha and the blind ninja."

"Alright, I'll take care of the Jōnin then."

As the ninja stand there, a leaf falls of a tree and when it touches the water the ninja charge at themselves with Sasuke and Naruto facing off against Haku.

"You're impressive girl, but not enough to face me!" As he goes through the hand seals he then shoots a fireball jutsu at Haku who makes an ice mirror and blocks it. "What!?"

'Ice, not bad, but unlike me it has advantage against fire.' As Naruto begins to go through hand signs he then gathers a large amount of lightning chakra and places it into his hand, then charges at Haku "Chidori!" Yells Naruto shocking all the Jōnin senseis including Zabuza and Haku who dodged just in time for the attack to hit the ice mirror shattering it.

"What the hell Kakashi, why did you teach him that Jutsu!?" Yells Asuma.

"I only had to time to teach them the tree and water walking exercises which Naruto had already done, I haven't even touched jutsus yet!" Yells Kakashi back in defiance while blocking or dodging Zabuza's attacks.

"Then how the hell did he learn that technique!?"

"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!?"

[with Sasuke, Naruto, and Haku]

To say that Sasuke was surprised was a understatement, he was furious, Naruto had learned a new move and was the one that the fake Anbu was scared of, awakening his Sharigan as the fake Anbu surrounded the Uchiha with their ice mirrors.

"FIRE STYLE: PHOENIX FLOWER JUTSU!!" As a multitude of fireball attack the ice mirrors they're ineffective at melting the mirrors. "DAMN IT FALL TO MY POWER!!"

"Ice style: Ten Thousand Ice Petals and Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death." As more than a thousand needles are headed towards Sasuke he smirks as he preforms the body swap jutsu with Naruto leaving him to take on the full force of the attack.

When Hinata saw this she could do only one thing. "NARUTO!!!"

When everyone heard this everyone saw that Naruto was now replaced with Sasuke who was smirking. "Hahahahaha there that should teach you to defy the Uchiha clan."

As the mirrors fall they see the masked Anbu looking at what they did in complete shock and fall to her knees as Naruto stands there with more than a thousand needles in him.

"NARUTO!!!" Yell Kakashi as he takes one step towards his body they begin to hear a familiar laugh.

"Hahahahahahaha oh you foolish Uchiha, you honestly thought that it was that easy to kill me, how incompetent you truly are, there's a reason that you were never better than me." As Naruto preforms a Body Flicker onto the bridge, and when everyone looked at the other Naruto that was littered with needles they only see a wooden statue with sap coming out the wounds.

"I'm very good at deception Uchiha, you didn't see that it was clearly a clone, only my friends, minus Hinata, were able to see that it was a clone."

"Huh!? You guys knew and didn't tell me!?"

"Well we knew it was a clone, just not a wood one, and by the way, WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL US BEFORE YOU ATTACKED ZABUZA THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU HAD WOOD RELEASE!!" Asks Kiba almost shouting at the top of his lungs while jumping and flailing his arms and legs.

"After the mission, why else."

"Naruto, you're getting a punished after this." Says Shikimaru.

"Heh like you can do anything."

"No but Hinata can."

When Naruto hears this he suddenly slumps in defeat of that statement.

"ENOUGH OF THIS, YOU'LL DIE HERE AND I'LL HAVE MY REVENGE ON YOU!!!" As he yells this he charges at Naruto

"Wooden release: Adamantine Red oak root jutsu(Ki rirīsu: Adamantainreddoōku ne-jutsu)."

As Wooden roots start to wrap around Sasuke he tried to form a hand seal but his hands were pulled in separate directions and his body was covered by the roots, as Haku looks at this he takes off his mask showing his beautiful face.

"Now my fellow water based kekkei genkai user, shall we restart our fight?"

As the fights were about to begin again all the ninja began hearing laughter as Gato and his men are seen on the other end of the bridge.

"Look at this, Zabuza the demon of the mist, unable to kill some pesky ninja, and his subordinate unable to kill a brat that can make trees grow, how hilarious, I knew killing you would be the right choice, you can't even kill a single kid!"

Before Zabuza could say a word Naruto is instantly in front of the group staring down Gato.

"You know nothing of a ninja's strength, nor how crafty we can be, Uzumaki secret technique: eight trigram seal of heaven(Uzumaki hijutsu ten no hakke shirushi)."

As Naruto says this eight pointed star appears below Gato and his men before Naruto weaves his fingers together and closes the left fingers to the back of his right hand "Ultimate seal: Asura's seal of heaven and earth, pain of the abused!" Suddenly a Yin Yang Symbol appeared within the eight pointed star and Gato and his men begin to scream in pain and agony.

"FEEL THE WEIGHT OF YOUR SINS AND THE PAIN OF THOSE YOU HAVE WRONGED!!!" As the seal activated suddenly the goons and Gato are wrapped in chains that seemingly are made from molten steel and are dragged into the seal.

"Wh-wh-what just happened?" Says a shaken Sakura.

"The only possible explanation, they were dragged into hell, simple as that."

"Holy shit, that's harsh!" As Kiba says this Akamaru barks in agreement.

As Hinata tries to go up to Naruto Sakura stops her. "What do you think you're doing Hinata, can't you see that Sasuke is gonna challenge him next after this!"

"Sigh, you're really troublesome Sakura, I'm surprised you even got out of the academy with how stupid you are, there's no chance in hell that Sasuke will beat Naruto, he's clearly superior to him in every way."

"You lie, Sasuke is the strongest, he can break those chains if he wanted to!"

As Naruto walk up to Sasuke he only shakes his head. "Looks like you weren't the first one to kill anyone on this mission Uchiha brat, and to make sure that you don't hurt anyone else." As Naruto pulls out a seal and slaps it on Sasuke he disappears along with the chains and only leave the paper tag seal.

"Wh-what, that's impossible, he couldn't have sealed him right? He just used a Body Flicker to get away right?"

"Nope, he sealed him, and there's no way for him to escape his punishment this time, not even the civilian council can help him now since he threatened two of the founding clans' founding members."

"But Sasuke's clan is one of the founding members too, he shouldn't be arrested for taking care of a fake like him!" Before anyone could argue with her, she's also sealed in the same type of seal.

"I was getting tired of her screaming." Says Naruto walking over to Hinata, who in turn gave him a much needed hug.

"Sigh, now we have to deal with the fact that we're short two members of our team."

Zabuza looks at Haku then looks at the leaf team. "Haku."

"Yes sir?"

"Go with the leaf ninja."

Everyone except Naruto was surprised by this order that Zabuza gave.

"Let me guess, she'd be killed by any hidden mist just by doing her ice release, am I correct in assuming that?"

"Yeah, she'll be one of your teammates replacements, due to you being short on teammates, and she knows water style so."

"Looks like we only need one more if you're actually handing her to the leaf, but are you sure that this is the right decision Zabuza."

"I saw the way she went to her knees in defeat after attacking the wood clone, seems that she cares much for the kid."

Haku blushes at the statement as Hinata makes a pouting face that clearly shows her jealousy.

"Tch just don't get any idea of hurting her heart brat!" Yells Zabuza in a fatherly tone.

"Trust me, Kurama is already giving me an earful about it already." Tho it was true about him getting an earful but it wasn't from Kurama but from his mother, he had to keep it a secret until post Chunin exams.
