Pakura walked underneath the cool shade of
the towering Konoha trees taking in the beautiful partly cloudy weather that was so unlike the dry desert heat that she was used.
'I could get used to this!' Pakura thought to her self brushing a stray green and burnt orange hair out of her face.
The serene silence of nature besides the clicking of insects and chirping of birds was interrupted by the loud crash of flames eating the earth as the aftershock of whatever happen carried a breeze that made Pakura garbs flutter.
'If I'm correct that was a fairly large fire release haphazardly mixed with wind I've got to get closer to know for sure.' The elite sand nin thought to herself quickly taking off towards the epicenter of the attack.
"Fire and wind style blazing vortex!!"
Pakura heard the attack before she saw it a giant blaze of chakra mixed with wind formed a spinning tornado destroying everything in its path making its way towards her who quickly channeled her chakra forming one giant orange orb sending it flying into the flamenado causing it to explode apart before reaching her.
"Show yourself!" A young voice called out a young man's voice that was in the middle of puberty.
Slowly with her hands up Pakura made herself known walking through the billowing smoke cloud their two attacks had made. Her eyes found themselves looking at a rather short blonde and red headed boy who couldn't of been older than 13 upon closer look at the boys features and eyes and she realized who she stumbled upon, the first born child of the 4th Hokage and the red habanero Naruto Namikaze.
'How reckless of the Hokage allowing his son to be so far from the village this was an assassin's wet dream if they were employed by iwa.
"You're pretty far from the leaf little Namikaze if I was an Iwa shinobi this wouldnt be good for you." Pakura said in joking manner eyeing the young man intently studying how he would react.
Naruto blushed slightly as he noticed the woman giving him a look over she was tall around the same height as his mother and she had green hair pulled into a bun with two orange bangs, she wore a kunochi sleeveless battledress with white wrappings along her midsection giving her ample bust even more protrusion. She wore purple leggings and arm guards atop her head she wore the headband indicating she was from Suna.
'Good she's an ally to the leaf if she wasn't she might of been right this could've been bad I wasn't thinking clearly when I left the village to train myself for the chunin exams final bouts he must of left a section of the forest he was in unsealed not hiding his and the areas prescience in a jonin level Genjutsu.' Naruto thought to himself but he was a cocky kid so he wouldn't let her know she was right. For the past week he had been training himself sneaking through the village gates when the guard rotation occurred leaving a shadow clone behind to tell Yakumo what he was doing for the month. The finals was going to be interesting after his run in with Orichimaru's gang they all withdrew from the exams changing the whole landscape of the finals making it a uneven amount of participants the proctors decided to do a free for all with all the remaining examinees last shinobi left standing won the exams.
"I think you mean it wouldn't be good for the Iwa nin ma'am I can handle myself!" Naruto said lifting a thumb to his face with a smirk causing the beautiful woman to chuckle at him.
"Ohh so you think you can handle me if I decided to come at you?" Pakura asked the boy taking a liking to his spunk.
"I think I can handle anyone if we're being truthful including you but I would hate to bruise a pretty face might ruin your chances of finding a husband!" Naruto teased causing a tic mark to appear on Pakura who smirked evilly.
"Well isn't someone confident I typically wouldn't indulge a child that hasn't finished puberty for a spar but..." Pakura looked at the namikaze who also grew a tic mark from her comment, she was interested in his fire and wind release maybe she had finally found someone she could pass down her scorch style to. "If I didn't teach a brat like you manners kami would kill me the names Pakura by the way you might of seen my name in the S rank shinobi section of your academy books!"
Pakura was hoping for a reaction she had been an active shinobi for almost a decade and a half now at the age of 23 having already become internationally known as a S rank danger at only her fourth year outside of the sand village academy. Pakura of the sand was known far and wide she liked to think she could face Kakashi of the sharigan and win.
Naruto however rarely if ever paid attention to the historical aspects of the ninja academy remembering back to a many of times iruka sensei used his big head no jutsu to get him out of his Fuinjutsu book he hid behind the academy book.
Scratching the back of his head with a sweat drop appearing Naruto answered her "Sorry lady your names not ringing any bells... but uhh nice to meet yah!"
His reply caused a gray storm cloud to form over Pakura's head as Naruto looked on weirded out. 'Are all strong ninjas strange?' Naruto thought thinking back to his few interactions with orichimaru before he defected and the many times observing jiraiya with his younger siblings.
Time skip 3 weeks
Naruto was currently running for his life as he produced 8 shadow clones to run alongside him hoping to confuse the demon he had been sparring with for the past 3 weeks.
"Poof poof poof" three shadow clones had met there grizzly fate as their memories returned to him causing him to grimace. Two clones were hit with a small orb of fire as they shriveled up before blowing up in smoke.
Shaking his head trying to rid himself of the clones experience of having all the moisture in their bodies removed. Naruto thought that he had a chance he was a prodigy after all and having defeated chunin and a few jonin in the past he thought he would've faired better against the green haired beast but alas this was not the case. Pakura had been right about how lucky he had been to run into her and not a S rank Iwa nin. after their first spar she had made it abundantly clear the difference between a kage level fighter and a borderline Jonin fighter even with his sealing techniques and surprising her with his chains the older woman systematically dismantled any strategy any method he could defize and she had the nerve to do all this while keeping her unnerving smile etched onto her face like beating down kids was her favorite hobby.
Naruto quickly ran through the foliage of the forest spreading out from his 5 remaining clones hiding behind a Boulder next to a peaceful creek as he heard the distant poofs and felt the memories returning of two poor clones fate. Judging from his clones memory he guessed that Pakura was a mile away giving him time to recuperate a bit dropping his chakra levels as he allowed himself to relax.
After the first fight Naruto asked Pakura to be his sensei for the finals to his surprise the sand shinobi had agreed she began to teach him how to use scorch release perfectly mixing his fire and wind chakra nature's took a week his chakra points would be sore for much longer. On the the second week he learned form only able to produce one orb as opposed to His masters many and this week was practical use and sparring.
Pakura taught him how to tone down his scorch release instead of killing instantly he could vaporize just enough moisture to make his opponent seize up unable to move while also being burned. Naruto still preferred his chains as scorch burnt up a substantial amount more chakra for him to perform so far he could only use the jutsu 3 times a day if he still wanted to use his shadow clones and other jutsu.
Something his sensei said would become easier to perform the more he practiced over the years since his scorch release wasn't a kekkai genkai he was born with but was created within him via an incredible densely molded combination of wind and fire chakra now able to form into the infamous scorch release because Pakura shocked his chakra coils while he mixed wind and fire chakra with her own scorch release chakra when their training first began.
"Sending those shadow clones In different directions and lowering your own chakra signature was genius but didn't I tell you this was a spar; and you're over here Sitting down instead of counter attacking me. I thought I beat that laziness out of you!" Pakura said startling Naruto out of his thoughts with a giant death ball of fire chakra swirling in her hands.
"Ahaha you se..." The red head began before 10 figures dropped down from the trees surrounding Pakura and Naruto. Naruto heard the chirping of birds and the area became illuminated by the blue glow of Kakashi's lightening blade as he appeared directly behind Pakura. Yuguo appeared with her Anbu mask and sword drawn alongside the bushy brow taijutsu master Gai.
"End your attack on the 4th hokages son or die before your trial for kidnapping the hokages son!" Kakashi spoke his voice promising a quick death.
Gai shook his head in disgust as he readied himself to fight "To try and snuff the life of the innocent your flames of youth have grown cold!"
Pakura let her attack disappear from her hand as she allowed Kakashi to place her in chakra cuffs.
"Noo Kakashi you've got the wrong idea Pakura Sensei didn't kidnap me I left the village to train on my own we were planning on coming back in a few days for the finals." Naruto jumped up pleading with his fathers student.
Kakashi looked down at the boy with a eye raised in surprise then sympathy being close to the family almost like a pseudo uncle/older brother that was never around much for him admittedly he was Menma's tutor only running into Naruto on special occasions.
"Sorry Naruto but she covered up both of your tracks so that my ninja hounds couldn't find you until today further more as an ally of the leaf she knows it is here duty if suspected upon a missing nin or nin of importance that could be of an allied nation that she return them to said village."
"But Kakashi I was the one that didn't want to come back to the village she just helped me. I was the one that put up a barrier seal around this area the reason you found us was because a stray jutsu destroyed a section of my seal work!!" Naruto yelled arms spread wide pleasing his case new sensei's case.
Gai suddenly made his way over to Naruto as he wrapped an arm around the boys shoulders with a single fist raised as tears poured down his eyes.
"Your flames of youth are magnificent young Naruto I too have a charge that would fight tooth and nail for me!" Gai said picturing lee.
Kakashi sighed shaking his head as he and the other Anbu were about to tree hop back to the village. "Be that as it may Naruto it's been three weeks you're mother and father are worried to death about you not to mention your siblings.we have procedures to follow you can speak with your father and plead her case when we get back now get ready we're moving nonstop back to the village,Now move out!"
Konoha Hokage tower
Minato waited with a pacing Kushina and a wrestling pair of blonde and red heads in his son Menma and daughter Mito who were now eight years old. Normally he wouldn't have his family inside his office but today was a special occasion the search team he had sent out was successful in finding his oldest son Naruto. Minato was saddened and disappointed in how his son reacted to the explaining of the importance of his sister.
Flash back no jutsu
The vibe in the living room was tense as minato and Kushina sat on a couch together with Jiraiya standing off to the side leaning against the wall, Naruto sat in front of his parents and godfather who began to explain the toad prophecy.
"Ahh I see now because of some obscure prophecy by some senile ass toad my parents pushed me off to the side my to focus on my siblings!" Naruto said his voice hallow his bicolored hair covered his face.
"No Naruto I know how it sounds but these toads have been around since the sage of six paths days their predictions have precedence we must heed them!" The toad sage spoke vehemently for his chosen summons.
"So now we're bringing in some mythical shinobi god that might've of not existed at all I've had enough of this—!" Naruto began to get up but Minato cut him off.
"Son you must believe us we wouldn't forsake you unless the world was at stake!"
"You couldn't figure out how to do both dad save the world but train me once in a while or hangout really you guys couldn't figure it out!!!" Naruto yelled as he stood up walking towards the door of the Namikaze residence slamming it shut. Minato moved to go after his son but his sensei held out an arm shaking his head indicating that they should let the kid cool off. That was the last time he would see his son for a month.
End of flashback
Kakashi, Yugao, and Gai all arrived in Minato's via shunshin with Naruto in tow along side another woman he recognized from sharing a battlefield with her during the 4th shinobi war.
'Pakura of the sand why was she with Naruto is Suna involved would they really throw away relations kidnapping my son?' Minato thought to himself as the new party situated themselves in front of his desk.
"Naruto niii!!!" His little sister Mito shot towards the Formerly missing blonde crashing into him with a hug. His little brother Menma equally as excited to his older brother tried to play it off cooler instead, walking up to Naruto and giving him a fist bump.
"Missed ya big bro you gotta check out this new jutsu Pervy sage taught bet I could beat you in a fight now with it!" Menma taunted as Naruto laughed at his suggestion returning Mito's hug with one arm as he fist bumped his brother with the other.
"Hehe what makes you think I wasn't learning a super jutsu myself!" Naruto smirked at his little brother.
Minato and Kushina both smiled at their oldest son still being brotherly to the two people that were the reason for him being on the back burner for so long.
"Menma, Mito im sure you both want to catch up with your brother but please do it at the compound we have much to discuss." Minato told his two youngest as they both grumbled under their breathes closing the door behind themselves on the way out.
"Now that that's settled Pakura of the Sand you're accused of kidnapping my son why didn't you return him as soon as you recognized he was my legacy. According to the messenger hawk Kakashi sent, you actively covered up both of your tracks is that right Kakashi?" Minato normally joyful eyes were icey as he bore into the green haired woman bound in front of him.
"That is true sensei when we arrived on scene she was holding her scorch technique at a defenseless Naruto if we hadn't arrived when we did who knows what would've happened although he claims he was the one performing sealing jutsu to obscure our search efforts not her.." The silver haired copy nin spoke earning an indignant shout from Naruto.
"That's not how it was at all I mean okay all of that is true but the intent wasn't what y'all are assuming Pakura Sensei wasn't going to kill me!" Naruto explained to his father who looked surprised.
'Sensei' minato thought but was cut off by Kushina.
"Sensei?! Naruto she's an shinobi of another village granted one that we are allies with but there are rules and procedures especially for Genin if you wanted a sensei we could've found you one without all the trouble." The red headed beauty Kushina explained to her son for her husband minato glaring daggers At the woman that was with her son for a month.
"Well none of this would of happened if you guys ever trained me!!" Naruto replied back frustrated so what if he left the village for a little while he was back now nothing had happened and he was stronger for it.
"Slam!!" Minato let his fist hit his desk jolting everyone's attention to him.
"Do you know how many enemies I have son how many people would use you to get to me to hurt the Leaf! We could be in a war right now because you decided to throw a tantrum!!" Minato spoke in an urgent voice before he sighed "if you were any other shinobi I would have you removed from the force for atleast a year if not indefinitely but I will let you go with a warning you do anything like this again you will lose rank am I understood!"
'A tantrum is that what you call finding out you were ignored half your life because of some world saving bullshit prophecy!' Naruto angerly thought as the Hokage moved his questions towards Pakura not waiting for a response to his son.
"Now Pakura why didn't you return my son as soon as you realized who he was?"
Pakura sighed her quest to find a student capable of learning her style had clouded her judgement she knew as soon as she saw the boy she should of brought him in but the promise was too much.
"Hokage-sama thank you for allowing me to speak, as Naruto has stated I did indeed train him these past three weeks. I was late arriving to Konoha because of a mission given to me by the kazekage I was to meet up at the earliest opportunity to be his guard for the chunin exams finals. Walking though the forest I noticed your son mixing fire and wind natures better than anyone I had ever seen besides myself. Selfishly I knew the boy had what it took to learn my style. In the shinobi world your life could be forfeited at any turn as you know. I wanted to pass on my knowledge to a worthy student, Naruto is my legacy a prized pupil and I would never harm him." Pakura said turning to face Naruto with a proud expression before facing the Hokage and his wife again.
Everyone in the room bore a shocked expression not only did the boy have one kekkai genkai he was now only the second user in history to be able to use scorch style kekkai genkai as well.
'As a Genin no as a ninja this was unheard of two kekkai genkai, Naruto just how talented are you?' Kakashi thought looking at the bi colored hair thirteen year old with a wide eye.
Minato and Kushina were shocked they both knew Naruto was talented but this revelation was something else.
'he's just as talented as Itachi was.' Minato and Kushina both thought.
After what seemed like hours to Naruto his father finally spoke.
"I'll accept your absence from the village as you being away for a training trip Naruto you're dismissed good luck if I don't see you tomorrow." Minato said to Naruto as his son bowed to his Sensei before leaving the office as well.
"Pakura no charges will be pressed against you and I appreciate you for teaching my son. I'll teleport you to the kazekage's resort whenever you're ready." Minato said to Pakura giving a nod to Kakashi as he removed the chakra cuffs from her wrist as he stood up from his desk preparing to teleport them both in a flash.
