Chapter 11: Regeneration Truly Begins
Konoha is rebuilding from the brief civil war it had with Danzo and his supporters. Tsunade saw fit to liquidate all of the traitors assets into rebuilding funds and resources. Many of the dead who fought to keep Konoha from a path of darkness are buried with high military honors. The dead traitors had their bodies cremated and scared to the winds.
A former Root Member named Sai had revealed the location of the stolen infants to the Hokage after Danzo had died. Tsunade pardoned him for the actions as his mind wasn't too far gone thanks to Ino who had healed his psyche.
At the moment many are still grieving the deaths of their friends, none more than Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze as he's at the grave of Iruka Umino. Naruto is thinking back to the times he was with Iruka on how he treated him as a human being as a student and lastly as a brother. Something he soon realizes; he has to be for Konohamaru who was hurt deeply by Hiruzen and his uncle for their lies and deceitful actions that twisted his views on his self-worth inside of a ninja village.
'Iruka I will always remember you till the day I join you' thought Naruto as he places some roses on the ground.
Naruto had learned the hardest lessons from the book and now it was time for him to teach Konohamaru some of what he learned from the blonde. Naruto, finding a new well of strength that he needs for his little brother figure, resolutely walks home to see Konohamaru. Raiokami is following behind as he thinks back to a memory of a certain warrior who's ties to his brother was deep and meaningful as a twin's own with their twin.
'I know he can heal in the one place but the one place he's needing is in his soul and heart' thought Raiokami as he looks at his partner as walks behind deeply hoping for him to recover from the tragedy he's experiencing.
In the village
Toshi is coordinating with the Inuzuka, and Akimichi clansmen along with engineer teams to repair any damaged buildings in the brief civil war. As he is doing two messenger hawks land on his shoulders.
Toshi takes both of their messages and reads them. Toshi keeps the notes as he continues with the coordination. He makes a mental note to send some.
Back with Naruto and Raiokami
Naruto and Raiokami are walking towards the Sarutobi clan compound to see the clansmen taking care of several traitors of the village with brutal efficiency. As he walks through he sees Konohamaru in his window who sees Naruto walking up with his wolf companion. He runs down stairs to meet his brother figure "Hey boss how are things" asked a concerned Konohamaru as he looks at his older brother figure. "Pretty well Kono I am still grieving for Iruka sensei. I wish he was here" said Naruto as Konohamaru hugs him in reassurance. "It's okay Naruto I am here for you may have lost a brother, but you still have many brothers one being in front of you" said Konohamaru as he looks at Naruto who looks back with a great smile.
"Thanks Kono anyway I came to let you know that I want to teach you some of my skills in the Great Dragon Fist" explained Naruto as Konohamaru lights up at the prospect of training. "Cool when do we start" asked Konohamaru as he looks at his brother in all but blood question.
"As soon as everything gets settled Kono as we still have some snakes that needs to be clearing." answered Naruto as he looks at his brother in all but blood and protege. Raiokami wags his tail in happiness.
Timeskip 4 weeks later
The village has gotten back on it's feet in terms of wealth. But Konoha is still lacking in manpower as the insurrectionist forces had made up almost a chunk of Konoha's forces. With them either dead or incarcerated the village is understaffed.
Inside of the meeting chambers the clan heads along with Tsunade, Toshi, Tenma, Naruto and Raiokami are discussing force strength and how to recover it soon. Tsunade explains to them all of what happened to Jiraiya when he was brought before the sage council. As her teammate has been stripped of his sage titles by the council.
Flashback 4 weeks prior
Gamamaru is giving testimony that will decide the fate of the oath breaks. He explained that he had found some of the tome of his prophecy book missing. Explaining that he had no intention of telling anyone of those prophecies due to how they are extremely unlikely due to every changing nature of the world. He found this out when Gamabunta and Gamakichi looked for key prophecies of the future that he thought wouldn't happen.
"Do you have anything to say for your defense Jiraiya" demanded the dragon looking at him. Jiraiya says nothing.
"For the counts of blasphemy to the gods for your disregard to prophecy you are all guilt. Jiraiya your are stripped of you sage status and your chakra will be sealed for life. As for you toads your are to be put to death by consumption" said the dragon as the eagles slaughter the guilty toad sages and Jiraiya being held down by two mandrills who seal off his chakra.
"Now be gone Jiraiya never show your face here again" said the dragon as Jiraiya is teleported back to the elementals.
Flashback end
At the moment the spy network is still functioning thanks in part of the network working in autonomy. They reported no one is willing to make a move due in part to a certain blonde former jailer and his prowess in battle making them think twice.
"I may have a solution that may help the village's force strength and spy network" said Toshi as everyone gives him his attention.
"Well 4 weeks earlier I had received messages from two nomadic clans of Ninja who might actually help with your force strength and spy work." said Toshi as Tsunade asks. "Who are they" "They're the Saiyujin Clan and the Mao clan" answered Toshi as they all look at them with interest.
"Tell us about them" asked Hiashi as he looks at Toshi with a question.
"The Saiyujin's are like the Inuzuka and Akimichi. Strong, Loyal and Fiercely determined with traits similar to the Senju and Uzumaki clan, they are incredibly resilient and physically strong fighters specializing in front line combat; they operate as elite ninja shock troops that will fight with ruthless determination. They have the appear like the Tsume Chan's clan but with the samurai like history of the Akimichi clan. The way they fight appear similarly to how Naruto fights using Avargyn Mayat in the same brawler-like application even with weapons, they also appear to have a enhancement type bloodline similar to a wrathful warrior as they can go into a savage warrior state. The Mao clan are similar to the Saiyujin in physicality but have the bonus of being well trained in guerilla warfare and espionage. They are masters of a taijutsu form so devastating that it would likely be compatible with Naruto's Great Dragon Fist with its dynamics of strength and movement. Like the Saiyujin they have a savage warrior state in addition they have senses that allows them to detect foes that even the Inuzuka clansmen or their dogs could detect, lastly, they have an ability that allows them to be nearly undetectable to some of the best sensors in the world." explained Toshi as Naruto sensing something behind him turns around and draws his sword.
"Show yourself" said Naruto as everyone is confused as a figure steps out of the shadows clad in armor that has the theme of an Oni. "Ah, so the young Uzumaki Toraken can sense me. I must say you are an incredible sensor to be able to sense me." said the figure as everyone except Toshi gets into fighting stances.
"Greetings Takeda how has things been in Storm Country with your family and clan" asked Toshi as everyone looks at him in confusion.
"You know this man" asked Tsunade as Toshi nods. " Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce Takeda Mao clan head of the Mao clan" answered Toshi as everyone lowers their guard somewhat as Takeda bows in greetings.
"Greetings to you all. I am happy to make your acquaintance." said Takeda as he turns towards the Blonde Uzumaki Toraken.
"So you are the one who can match Raijinken in combat. I thought you would be taller" said Takeda as he chuckles as Naruto chuckles with him. Takeda turns towards Tsunade and asks" Is my clan able to join this village" asked Takeda.
"Yes but I would like a demonstration of your clan skills because this village earned it's reputation of being the strongest. Thanks in part of our bravest Genin we are starting to go back to basics on how our shinobi are trained and we need new clans that are highly disciplined not just powerful or well trained." said Tsunade as the Mao clan head smirks under his mask.
"Lady Hokage you might actually be the place my clan has been looking for. Especially since me and Naruto's meeting here has been foretold by my great grandfather generations before I or Naruto was born. " said Takeda as everyone except Takeda and Toshi looks at a surprised Naruto at the statement.
"So Toshi are you going to send a letter to Goken because he's dying to meet the kid who squared off with the seven swords of storm and live to talk about it" said Takeda with a causal tone
Toshi smirks at the man in question as he nods in confirmation.
"Well that's great. Oh, I almost forgot I have brought you lady Hokage some of this" said Takeda as he brings Tsunade some of the most refined sake she will ever taste.
Tsunade with incredible speed zooms towards it to look at it.
"Your are definitely welcome in Konoha" said Tsunade as she and Tenma take a sip of the sake.
In Storm Country in the mountains.
An individual with a feral appearance can be seen looking in the distance as he feels the breeze of wind through his long wild black hair. He sees a messenger hawk coming to him. He extends his arm so the hawk can land. He gets the message from his friend in Konoha to come.
'Heh Toshi your a life saver thankfully I could meet the Kintaro of Karate and his grandson. I hear he is very strong. Hopefully I could get my tomboy daughter in a relationship with him.' thought the man as he goes towards his clan's encampment towards the council tent. The man blows a horn to summon the elders for council.
Back in Konoha
Raiokami and Naruto are having a conversation about the regeneration method and his history with it. Raiokami reveals before Naruto there was a man who existed during the warring clans era of the nations named Koseke Toji, a martial artist and philosopher who had trained in the method. He explained how he went from being a scrawny runt to a fierce fighting philosopher. Raiokami explain how he stumbled upon Koseke when he started training in the book like Naruto himself only Koseke taught philosophy about the warrior spirit.
"So Raiokami, I wanted to ask what your life was before Koseke and me" asked Naruto, curious about his wolf companion life.
"Well I was in away similar to both you and Koseke in that I was a chump of a pup growing up fighting for survival but when I discovered my inner strength I started to flourish to new levels of ability as a lone beast when I met Koseke and connect with him as a partner I sensed a great strength within him as I do you I don't know where it will take you. I will follow you to the end of the line." said the battle wolf as Naruto smiles at his partners devotion.
"A great journey awaits Raiokami I can only hope we have the strength and determination to complete it" said Naruto in an assuring manner.
Timeskip 6 weeks later in Storm Country
Naruto has been sent to Storm Country to help escort the Saiyujin clan seeing as Naruto has been asked specifically. He's not alone as Hinata, and Hana along with the Haimaru triplets and Raiokami is with them. As they come upon the location of the Saiyujin camp until Naruto senses around him sensing presences of several people surrounding him and his group.
"Come on out I know you are there" said Naruto as the people come out from hiding with various weapons at the ready as a figure of 6'3 towers over Naruto as he walks up to him with a girl only a few inches shorter than Naruto walks up.
"Impressive you are quite the beast I have been hearing about Naruto Uzumaki Toraken" said a the man whose predatory eyes looks into Naruto's primal azure eyes as the girl says something. "Hmm so your the one who can mix it up with Raijinken the Brute and stand on top. I don't see it so why you don't show me" asked the girl who stand across from Naruto. She has a build akin to a wild amazon and a supermodel put together. Naruto turns towards the girl who's also locking eyes with him.
"I am Asoma Saiyujin heiress of the Saiyujin clan. This is my father Goken Saiyujin" said Asoma as she looks at Naruto's armor with interest seeing the fox symbol on it.
"Hmm why a fox for your symbol" asked Asoma as Naruto smiles at her question.
"A fox in many species symbolizes adaptability and resilience, something that is needed in this world," said Naruto as Asoma is intrigued by the blonde.
"Let me test your statement in combat as I want to see if Konoha produced a warrior and not a fraud" said a teen around Naruto's age.
"If you wish Saiyujin sama it would help me assess what your clan brings to the table as fighters if war breaks out" said Naruto as Goken bows in agreement.
Hinata and the others back away to give the two a distance. Naruto gets into his battle stance with Goken getting into one that is similar to Naruto's own stance. Goken seems to go into his feral state and Naruto goes into his animal spirit state. With a cry of an eagle an intense sparring session commences as Naruto is facing Goken in a fierce battle of fist-to-fist combat in their enhanced battle states. Naruto is surprised at the man's dexterity and movement as despite his size he is greatly keeping up with the blonde in terms of speed. Goken is also surprised at the blonde's ability as if he's fighting like a wolf.
The two expertly trade and parry close quarters techniques with one another. They individually thinks to themselves in an analytical thought process. 'The man is very seasoned and measured with his sized and strength.' 'The boy has good instincts and skill with how he uses his speed.' The two soon stops from the contest. "Impressive you are a superb warrior; your combat skills and instincts are top of the line for a Konoha nin. While I saw weaknesses in your guard I had a feeling you where baiting me in the defensive aspect of your stance" said Goken as Naruto smirks.
"Thank you Goken sama I really appreciate your compliment I only got my skills from knowledge that has seen many travels in this and other worlds, your skills are also incredible even if you were holding back I highly doubt I would have matched you easily" said Naruto as he looks at the towering figure who smirks deeper.
"Come we have much to discuss as my clan get ready for the trip to Konoha" said Goken as he and Naruto along with the guard group is traveling towards the clan encampment.
'Oh he's definitely a fighter especially with the way he moves. He's strong and easy on the eyes, especially with how his form looks. He looks like a real strong man' Asoma as she looks at the blonde with questions.
Elsewhere in Konoha in the Namikaze estates
Kimimaro and Ayame are having sex in his room in the Namikaze estates. Ayame riding Kimimaro as she fondles her own breasts in the heat of passion and desire. This had lasted for three whole hours when they had gotten finished with their respective tasks. Soon the two climaxes from their performance as Ayame lays on Kimimaro's chest.
"So Kimimaro kun, how was that for your second time?" asked Ayame as she looks at her lover with interest.
"That was Amazing darling." answered Kimimaro as he cups Ayame's ass. "Yes it was so do you have any plans for the day" asked Ayame as she gets to her feet. "No Lord Tenma had given me the day off" answered Kimimaro as Ayame goes towards the shower room.
"Well let's head to the movies." asked Ayame as the Kaguya warrior agrees. " But first let's take a shower," said Ayame as she walks towards the bathroom, swaying her hips as Kimimaro follows.
Elsewhere inside of the Namikaze estates.
Moans of pleasure can be heard as Tayuya and Anko are making out with each other on top of the sofa they relieving some stress from the work they had to do and what better way is a heated make out session.
Anko breaks the kiss and ask. "So red how's your job helping the greenhorn academy students.
"Pretty good they'll get use to it after all those little bastards are least of my worries. How's your jobs torturing those schmucks on the civilian council." asked Tayuya as she looks at Anko.
"Enjoyable seeing as they have what's coming to them. But I am worried about is what's coming to you darling" said Anko as she kisses Tayuya reengaging in the make out session and moving it to the bed room for some more fun on a grand scale as they soon strip each other of their clothes.
Back with Naruto and Group
Naruto, Hinata and Hana are escorting the children and elderly towards the border of Fire country. Naruto had revealed how his life was in Konoha and revealed his success being possible due to a mysterious book known as the warrior regeneration method.
As they are walking they see giant golden lions from a distance from.
"Hey Raiokami, by any chance have you ever ran into a breed of lions like that" asked Naruto, curious of the lions in question.
"No, we had mostly kept to ourselves when we crossed paths, don't worry they will not attack" said Raiokami as they continued to travel towards Konoha.
In the Suna
At a distance away two figures can be seen walking towards the village. Both of whom are wearing black cloaks and red clouds on them.
"So Sasori I wonder who would win when the Zombi Duo of this Uzumaki Toraken character they have told us about." asked the blonde as the hunchback says. "Don't know Deidara. I have heard that the blonde gained some great power when went and returned to Konoha in chakraless country." said Sasori as he and Deidara walks towards the gate.
Back in Konoha.
The Mao clan is archiving the Uchiha clan scrolls for the village archive as they move in. Takeda for his part feels the wind in his hair as it blows. 'Hmm I feel the winds of battle coming. Hopefully my clan and Goken's are strong enough to face it.' thought Takeda as he looks in the distance.
Back with Naruto
Naruto along with company is walking near Konoha. "So your telling me you gained knowledge of several incredible warriors of different periods of human history of different time periods of different dimensions" asked Asoma as she looks at Naruto in question.
"Yes but the last chapter pertains to the accumulation of everything I learned from each warrior" said Naruto as Hana and Hinata looks at him alongside Goken and Asoma.
"What is it" asked Hana as she looks at her lover. "Ascendance!" said Naruto as every one of them is in awe at the statement.
Chapter end
Here you are folks my third to last chapter for this story have been working on newer stories after beast mode and regeneration is finished I hope you enjoy this chapter more chapters for other stories are on the way
Author's notes
Raiokami and Naruto will fight as one in the next and final chapters but in a way that will be epic in a particular fashion.
The Saiyujin clan is based off of the Saiyan Race from Dragon ball only more grounded in the Naruto verse as ninja shock troops. The Mao clan have attributes akin to the yautia from the Alien vs Predator series. minus the crab like features.
The Akatsuki will make their moves in the next chapter.
