Regeneration of Valor

by Stonehawk 2099

Naruto is having an intense divide with his teammates over how he is getting less money and how he is being not only cheated out of money but not given full training by not only his team's sensei but also his mentor. After the mission in Snow/Spring country fate has blessed him with an old book of tremendous knowledge and secrets that bring a warrior's rebirth. New Warrior Naruto.

6. Chapter 5

Chapter 5 : Passage of Combat Skills III Weapons Masters

Naruto is walking towards the training grounds of his home. He thinks about what happened the day earlier.

Flashback 1 day ago

Naruto is sitting in the Hokage office. At the moment he's sitting quietly as Tsunade tells him about what the mission that almost got him killed was really an A + rank. "So Naruto, any questions" asked Tsunade wanting to hear her godson's question. He looks at his godmother in question.

"Yes who set me up" asked Naruto as Tsunade sees in his eyes rage, the well-deserved kind of rage.

"Oh, I know who" said Tsunade as she smirks and then scowls as she begins to tell him.

Timeskip 4 hours later

Asuma Sarutobi had been called to the Hokage office via Anbu. He's thinking it might be a mission for him or his team. Sadly when he walked into the room he is hit upside the head by a club courtesy of Naruto.

"So, your the shack of shit that set me up for that mission." said Naruto as Asuma looks shocked at Naruto and his survival.

"Yeah, so you deserved it you demon brat" said Asuma as he is kicked in the ribs by Naruto.

"Alright Naruto that's enough I have a perfect punishment for him. That involves what he needs to do for the rest of his days" said Tsunade as if reading his godmother's mind, he smiles.

Asuma for his part is shitting his pants for what's about to happen.

End of flashback

Naruto goes to the book to see its passage 2nd glowing and releases schematics and designs for a combat knife, compound bow, body armor, a tactical utility belt and suspender, and lastly a special trench coat. Naruto makes 10 shadow clones to get to work in the workshop on the gear.

Naruto turns to the next page to see the warriors of the passage. Each one of them masters of weapons. He reads the first page of the weapons master's to find a man that is descendant of a warrior race who was an escaped convict, mercenary, and soldier. He's wanted in many galaxies and hunted by many bounty hunters and mercenaries alike. The man's name is Richard B Riddick.

Spirit Walk of Richard B Riddick The Survivor.

Riddick can be seen training and keeping his skills sharp and lethal on the Arctic planet of U.V from the use of his bare hands to the use of various bladed weapons from his knives to short blades he practices and hone his lethal knife fighting skills to newer levels than what he's trained in. Outside of his skill with the blade he's pushed his skill as a combat athlete and hunter to newer levels managing to take down various predators on the planet.

At the moment he's skinning and disemboweling a panther-like creature in his cave until he hears a ship landing 500 miles from his hiding spot.

'Hmm, looks like I have company better to see who it is.' thought Riddick as he gets his weapons. From his combat knives and goes to investigate the ship.

At the site of spaceship

Riddick from a hidden position sees a group of armed men with a variety of weapons on them. The men is led by a man with a large scar and a cybernetic arm.

'Mercs just my luck. Well lucky for me I needed the workout against smarter killers.' thought Riddick as he checks his knives.

"Alright boys listen up. We are here to hunt big game in the form of one man" said the leader as he shows a hologram of Riddick.

"Now boys we are the only crew out here that know that he's here. Now I want him back alive if it can't be helped dead" said the leader as the mercenaries get their weapons and gear ready for a long hunt that will be their last.

'Well looks like I get a brave and smart crew in a bounty sense. I see at least 30 mercs armed with either pistols, rifles, short blades, knives and from what I'm seeing from the big dog he has a weapons system hidden inside of his cybernetic arm of some sort. He looks to be a veteran but from what I can tell he'll be tough in a close-up game.' thought Riddick as he begins his game of cat and mouse with the mercenaries. Sensing that the leader is walking away and turns around as if sensing something in the distance from where Riddick left.

Riddick begins his onslaught against the mercenaries. Using his stealth skills to dispatch the gunmen until the melee fighters are left. Riddick proceeds to engage the melee fighters demonstrating his skill with his knives savagely but efficiently dispatching the mercs of each squad. Soon the leader comes out to play as well.

"So the top dog has come out to play." said Riddick from a hidden position.

"Come out of the shadows boogeyman I'm right here. Unless I'm fighting a chicken shit" said the leader as hears laughter around he stays calm in the storm.

'Hmm he's a tough one alright I'll see what he's got.' thought Riddick as he jumps down to engage the mercenary.

"Let's dance" said the Mercenary as he reveals an arm weaponized with over hand claws and talons.

The two engage in a brutal battle of melee weapons. The Mercenary fights valiantly but he's outmatched by Riddick using his instinctive but trained fighting style. The Mercenary fought valiantly but was ultimately no matched for the survivor as he manages to stab him through the throat. Killing him instantly.

"You fought well" said Riddick as he takes his knife out of the dead merc leader's throat.

'Time to make them disappear' thought Riddick as he begins to clean up the area of the mercenaries' traces.

Spirit walk end

Naruto turns the next page to see a masked man in all black clothing. Holding a uniquely made sword. His name in his tongue meaning black fox is Zorro but his true name is Deigo De La Vega

Spirit walk of Zorro

On a stormy night in a secret training ground many miles off from the De La Vega compound. One Diego De La Vega is practicing his combat skills. From the use of his whip, sword and dagger to his skill in unarmed combat and marksmanship all on life like dummies.

'My training in Destreza has paid off for many of Zorro's escapades. But I must keep my skills sharp otherwise I will be a dead man if I face a very skilled opponent.' thought Diego as he finished his workout.

Diego cleans up the training ground leaving no trace of his practice. He rides to his home under the cover of darkness.

Zorro can be seen using cunning and skill with the use of his weapons in combat against many of his adversaries from the hired assassins and bounty hunters to the commandants of the Spanish settlements in California.

Zorro faces each one of them with courage, determination and charisma.

Zorro at the moment is facing a sword fighter hired by the commandant to kill him.

'Remember your training Diego to meet an opponent like this one must not rely on physical strength but on speed and finesse to win' thought Zorro as he uses his training in Destreza to out work ,out fence and out fight his opponent using superior angling and angular versatility.

Zorro proceeds to disarm and knock out his opponent with a hard left hook.

End of Spirit Walk.

Naruto Turns the next page to see a man in white and red clothing sporting a hood with an Eagle symbol on it. His dress wear is like that of a warrior monk but with a fierce but lethal side to it. His armor has the symbol for Alpha on both his bracer and knife belt. His name, much like Diego, sounds fancy to him. His name is Ezio Auditore Da Firenze he is a master assassin of the order of the Assassins.

Assassin not like the ones of his or any world.

Spirit Walk of Ezio Auditore.

In a training ground in Monteriggioni ,Italia. Ezio is practicing the use of the sword, dagger, various heavy weapons, throwing knives, crossbow, bow and arrow, hidden blade, and his bare-handed combat techniques. 'It has been 3 years since Mario's death, the Borgia's fall from power and the sealing of the apple of Eden. The templars are getting bolder and more organized under a man named Donavan Schultz from Prussia, a strong and charismatic ex-soldier who leads a large army of Swiss Mercenaries. Thankfully I have the brotherhood to see me through this fight. I only hope that I can find other leaders from other brotherhood chapters.' Thought Ezio as he goes through the drills of each weapon.

Ezio for the next several days has been tracking the operations of Donavan Schultz. Ezio and his fellow assassins have been dismantling each and every operation piece by piece and brick by brick.

At the moment Ezio is fighting through hordes of mercenaries with his skills and weapons. Slaughtering them all with precision, efficiency and accuracy. Many mercenaries lay dead or dying, some riddled with crossbow bolts, some with throwing knives, others with sword or bullet wounds.

"Ah So the man of the hour shows himself Ezio Auditore Da Firenze the grandmaster of the Assassins of Italia how good I get to face the man who killed Cesare Borgia." said Donavan as he gets out a sword and dagger ready to face the master assassin as an equal.

"Cesare Borgia died by the hands of fate. I only helped him" said Ezio as Donovan laughs at the statement.

Soon both men engages each other in combat with ferocity demonstrated from two of the greatest warriors of their orders.

End of Spirit Walk

Naruto turns to the second to last page featuring a man of seasoned years and of a build rivaling Jiraiya. He has white hair done in a top knot ponytail with a beard that has an inverted skunk color to it. He is known as a jedi battle master who trains with various fighting techniques of a weapon similar to the sword of the thunder god, known to many warriors of the light side of the power known as the force, a brutal and fierce warrior known as Rohlan but most commonly known as Lord Hoth!

Spirit Walk of Lord Hoth

Rohlan is training in the training ground of his private home. Going over all of the forms of lightsaber combat.

From the basics combat stances and movements of form 1, the lightsaber-to-lightsaber dueling of form 2, the defensive combat of form 3, the combat acrobatics of form 4, the counter offense of form 5, the versatility of form 6 and the unpredictability and passion of form 7. Each form being practiced and held deep within the muscle memory and reflexes of the Jedi battle master as he drills and practices every sequence and kata every maneuver and every tactic.

Rohlan also practices his skills in unarmed combat, practicing on training droids of similar size and build to himself.

Rohlan finishes with a sweeping technique to a stunned practice droid. After finishing he senses through the force a storm. A storm of epic proportions that will be sign of his destiny.

'The storm of war is coming. I hope I'm truly up for the task at hand.' thought Rohlan.

For the next several years Rohlan shows his skills as a valiant warrior on the battlements against the Sith even against the emerging brotherhood of darkness. Through courage, determination and forgiveness, Rohlan, known to the many worlds as Lord Hoth, goes on to become a very important warrior of the jedi order through the Republic's darkest hours and beyond.

Spirit Walk end

Naruto is astonished at each master's dedication to the skills as not only warriors but also weapons masters ' These men have shown that high proficiency in weapons is key. Each one of these warriors have proven this by either being trained in a large variety of weapons but also had either had a specialized martial focus or training in the handling of multiple weapons. I need to get my skills up in other weapons. Maybe the library has something on the Uzumaki clans martial forms mom has.' thought Naruto as he closes the book and goes towards the library in his home.

In Konoha Anbu Hospital

Kimimaro and Tayuya of sound are undergoing rehabilitation under Anbu guard. Kimimaro us under guard by Might Gai. Tayuya is under guard by Anko.

At the moment Kimimaro is sitting in his room meditating as Might Gai is outside sensing any trouble. Kimimaro knocks on the door getting Guys attention.

"Yes, prisoner" asked a serious Might Gai.

"What can you tell me about Naruto Uzumaki?" asked Kimimaro as he looks at the spandex wearing man in question.

"I will tell you of his character nothing less nothing more" said Might Guy as he begins to talk about Naruto Uzumaki of his character and a fighter.

Back with Naruto

Naruto finds a large book on a universal weapons art called the Swirling circle. It's a unique weapons art that emphasizes the practices of a variety of weapons from swords, daggers, polearms, spears, axes and heavy swords as well as the use of shurikenjutsu, the crossbow and archery. It incorporates various mathematical calculations and concepts like the variable of acceleration. Soon Naruto begins his practice of the Swirling Circle with many shadow clones studying the mathematical concepts and calculations involved with the art.

Timeskip 6 months later In Mountain Country.

Neko and Kurenai along with team 8 are traveling on a simple reconnaissance mission on a Oto cell operating in the area. As they are investigating, they are soon ambushed by a large squad of Oto nins. The group fought fiercely until they were overwhelmed by the group due to special armor on some of them. Neko before she was captured sent out a distress signal to Anbu headquarters about the situation before being subdued.

"Get these ninjas to the lab I want samples and specimens from them" said the commander of the Oto base as the Konoha nins are knocked unconscious.

Back in Konoha

Naruto is practicing the spiraling circle to it's fullest ability. Naruto had also adapted Lord Hoth's lightsaber combat techniques incorporating each forms of specialized skill shown to him in the use of the sword of the thunder god. His skills in the use of shuriken and kunai throwing is on a master level now, he has gained advanced skill in the use of swords, daggers, short swords, spears, axes, and polearm weapons. Naruto has made his skills in weapons combat well rounded and well balanced.

At the moment Naruto is lifting a large stone over his head as he slowly walks over to another side of the practice yard. He went with a workout that the Warrior Regeneration Method covered on the dynamics of strength and fluidity, the Spiraling circle art's focus on reflex and agility for it's mobility and reactions.

Naruto finishes as an Anbu member knocks on the gate of his home. Naruto is walking towards the gate and opens it.

"Naruto Uzumaki Lady Hokage is requesting your help in an important matter." said the wildcat masked Anbu.

"Sure thing tell her I will be their shortly," said Naruto as he goes towards the shower to get cleaned up.

Naruto starts to get dressed but is soon stopped when two of his shadow clone brings him something that will be memorable to many people. As he gets dressed.

At the Hokage Office

Tsunade and Shizune are waiting for the blonde knuckle head as he knocks on the door. Naruto walks into the room in garb akin to a certain vigilante with dark silver fingerless gauntlets, and shin guards connected to tabi boots, the chest guard and clothing has a dark grey blue coloring the chest guard has an emblem of a wolf like fox with a combat survival knife in it's mouth on the front of it. With a stylish cloak and hood finishing the design to the armor. Naruto has his head band on his arm, his hair is done up in a long ponytail.

"Wow Naruto you look great in that get up I must say you look like a real ninja scratch that you look like a professional mercenary. But why a fox for your armor's symbol." asked Tsunade as towards the fox emblem.

"Well the Kyuubi maybe hated but I have to admit the species in many of it's breeds are adaptable and resilient and in this world you'll need it to survive. So Baa chan what's the situation." asked Naruto as he dodges a punch from Tsunade.

'Looks like Naruto is getting better at dodging. I wonder what he has been making him this quick.' thought Tsunade as she looks at the blonde in quest.

"Well brat it's about Neko, and Team 8 they never came back from a recon mission in mountain country I need you to go find them and bring them home" said Tsunade as she looks at the blonde who has a calm and stoic look about him.

"No problem Baachan you can count on me" said Naruto as he dodges Tsunade with a cartwheel and jumps out the open window.

"Whatever that gaki has been training in he's getting better by the minute." whispered Tsunade as she looks at the traveling form of her godson.

Naruto travels towards the area in Mountain Country where Neko sent the distress signal from and finds the area to looks like a warzone.

'Looks like the team have done some damage.' thought Naruto as he looks to find a dead Oto nin in strange armor he turns him over to see teeth marks. Possibly from Akamaru. Naruto examines the body to see that the armor was unscratched. Naruto remembers from seeing the ningen practice attacks with not only their teeth but also their claws to efficiently kill the opposition. Remembering how their claws are also reinforced by chakra.

'Hmm so Orochimaru got his hands on specs on chakra armor to use against Konoha ninja. But from the looks of the armor, it's incomplete as it only covers the torso not exposed areas like to the head.( Naruto turns the corpse to it's side) Looks like it also doesn't cover the sides well enough for close quarters fighting.' thought Naruto as he finds another corpse this time cut through by the armor.

'Hmm the armor looks to be weak against extreme force looks like I have the idea how to tackle these guys' thought Naruto as he looks around the area to find tracks that he can follow.

He soon finds claw belonging to Akamaru leading to a trail.

'I hope I'm not to late 'thought Naruto as he follows the trail.

With Neko and Team 8

The team are in a laboratory strapped to a table each as the scientists get ready to extract DNA and genetic material. Hinata shivering in fear as her naked form is restrained with her legs spread wide for all to see. She isn't the only one Neko and Kurenai are also in the same position as doctors ready a container for their eggs.

'Kami please don't let them take my purity with this action' prayed Hinata as a guard looks at her lustfully.

Akamaru is on a chain leash with a muzzle and reinforced dog shoes heavily sedated as Kiba is having his groin shaved for his processing.

Shino is in a man-sized smoke chamber.

Before any could be processed alarms go off as soldiers run through the hallway.

"Hey what's going on" said the lustful guard from before.

"Where are under attack. By a lone Konoha nin he's just taken out silver squad." said the guard as he runs towards the area of the nin's path.

Back with Naruto

Naruto is fighting through more guards with chakra armor using what he learned from Ezio, Riddick, Hoth, and Zorro he slaughters guards left and right as he searches the doors to the lab area. Before he could open it, he deflects a shuriken back at the thrower killing him.

He pries open the door to see failed human animal hybrids that are either dead or dying. As he walks through the section, he hears roaring as he nears a door, he looks through the door to see a tall humanoid tiger with four arms and long hair seeing him chained up to the door.

"Hey buddy if your alive in there I'm coming into release you. Please don't rip me apart." said Naruto as he breaks the door.

"Who are you "asked the tiger man beast in a cautious tone as he looks up at the blonde.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I'm here to find my comrades and leave this place after I blow it to hell." said Naruto as he moves to undo the restraints on the tiger man.

"Where's the rest of your team?" asked the Tiger beast man.

"You're looking at the team." said Naruto as he walks out of the area in question. The man beast follows behind the Uzumaki in question he comes across some clothes that would fit him along with the swords of several guards who he had the deepest distaste for and the pleasure of killing.

Naruto and the tiger beast man had slaughtered a group of Oto nin leading to the processing center. The man beast knocks down the door to the room in question. Soon the occupants are on guard as Naruto and his man-beast partner are walking through the doorway.

"You boys can either let the ladies, dog boy, the silent bug boy and dog go, or I will help my friend do what vengeance he wants upon you. Your choice" said Naruto as they charge forward at the duo in hopes that their abilities would be enough for the blonde and beast man. Too bad for the group that is.

Naruto and the beast man goes on the attack, slaughtering the guards and doctors foolish enough to attack them. Some of the guards shoot out fireballs to try and kill the duo. However, Naruto with his proficiency in the element of wind, channels wind to the sword of the thunder god deflects the ball of flames back at the casters setting them on fire. The Tiger beast man discards the now dull swords and use his natural lethal weapons to rip and tear the opposition to pieces.

Naruto kicks a man into an electrical box electrocuting him. Naruto, seeing that his opponents are using only kunai switches to a metal staff and begins to fight them. Slowly killing each and every one of them. The last guard is soon ripped in half by the tiger beast man.

"Okay now that's that." said Naruto as he gets the females their clothes after unstrapping them and covering their modesty. Kiba is unstrapped last as Shino is broken out of his containment unit by the tiger beast man.

"Thank you, Naruto, but how did you find us and this base" asked Kurenai as she looks at the blonde in question.

"Simply put I tracked the claw trails left by Akamaru here and found the base of operation. I was going to go in stealthy, but I had a feeling you all would need help especially sense I saw them dump what I can see was bio human waste in the river." explained Naruto as Neko gets her clothes on. As she walks up.

"What Now" asked Kurenai as she looks at the blonde in question.

"We get out of here before the 80-minute explosives I set go off that will destroy this base" said Naruto as all of them look at him in shock.

"You had planted explosives but why" asked Kiba as he looks at the blonde in question. "Simply put to blow this place up after getting you 5 out." explained Naruto as he deflects a kunai back at the thrower to see Kabuto Yakushi who used a dead Shinobi as a shield.

"So Naruto I see you are improving I wonder do you even compared to me." said Kabuto in a taunting tone of voice.

"Sorry Kabuto the place is wired with explosive tags and Semtex that will go off in 50 minutes" said Naruto as he looks at the surprised Kabuto as he looks at the blonde in question.

"Since when did you get so smart" asked Kabuto as he looks at the blonde.

"Since I brought back the Uchiha who your pedophile of a master was wanting to get" said Naruto as Kabuto growls in anger at the jab at his master's sexuality. But calms down and chuckles.

"I see what you're trying to do, you're trying to make me angry. Well, it almost work" said Kabuto as he disappears in a Shunshin.

"Well let's get the hell out of here people. I came here to get you all home and that's what I'm going to do." said Naruto as he looks at the Tiger man beast in question.

"Whatever your name is pal once where free of this place you can either go with us or be on you own where you go we will not purse you. Your choice" said Naruto as he looks at the 4-armed beast man in question.

"The name's Raiten and I will see what Konoha has to offer "answered Raiten as he and the Konoha nins and ningen leave the base before it blows up.

But not before Naruto found a little girl in the base of operations and rescues her.

The base's destruction can be seen as Naruto and company are at a fair distance away on a ridge.

"Well That takes care of that now let's go back to Konoha group." said Neko as she leads the way toward Konoha with two new additions to Konoha.

Elsewhere in an unidentified base in Rice Country.

"Status report Kabuto" said Orochimaru in a new body as he looks at his right-hand man in question.

"The DNA collection base has been destroyed by Orochimaru sama by Konoha" Reported Kabuto as he shows the footage of Naruto slaughtering his way through guards by himself with no team behind him.

'So Naruto kun is stronger than before. The way he uses his sword is unreal as if he's using a jutsu of sorts' thought Orochimaru as he looks through the footage of the slaughter of his subordinates. As if taking note of how he fights.

Back in Konoha.

Tsunade is shocked at how the mission was completed as Naruto smashed through a force of 150 ninja by himself with only his combat skill. What is surprising about the report is that Naruto is able to deflect kunai, shuriken and even fireball jutsu . She also is surprised at the two people he had brought back: a tiger man beast with four arms and a young girl with a Dojutsu similar to the Uchiha's and Hyuga's own Dojutsu.

Tsunade at the moment is doing a check up on the two to see if both are healthy. Tsunade finds that the beast man has twice the stamina and endurance of most chunin possibly surpassing Jiraiya, Tsunade also had sees that the little girl's health could be compared to that of a young Naruto Uzumaki as if she is of Senju or Uzumaki blood.

'Well looks like the village is rebuilding better with these new additions. I wonder what's the cause of Naruto's improvement from the scrapper he has been in the academy to the fierce fighting machine he's becoming.' thought Tsunade as he picks up the girl and places her on the bed next to Raiten who at the moment is sleeping peacefully for the first time.

Tsunade for her part is smiling and admiring the peaceful site of the two sleeping peacefully.

In the Anbu prison

"So let me get this straight, if we agree to this we won't be in jail." asked a confused Tayuya. as she and Kimimaro are looking at Anko and Ibiki in question.

"Yes you would. The Hokage even signs off on this she is very fair in her actions" said Ibiki as He looks at the duo in question.

"Well we don't have much to lose in the meanwhile. After all I'm sick of being someone's lap dog. Will do it" said Tayuya and Kimimaro in a way had to agree.

"Splendid I'll let Tsunade know of your decision" said Anko as she goes to the Hokage with their decision.

'Soon I will see what the Uzumaki is like in person. From what might guy told me he is starting to become a fighter and a formidable one at that I would like to test my skill against' thought Kimimaro as he and Tayuya is lead back to their holding cells.
