Chapter 2: Good Old Brute Force
Kakashi is panting hard as he is being put through the ringer by his student. Who has improved vastly since the last time they fought in Taijutsu by leaps and bonds.
'He's almost as fast as Rock Lee without his weights and hits almost as hard as Tsunade. He moves like a berserking ape. It's like I'm fighting the ultimate killing machine' thought Kakashi as he looks at Naruto who doesn't seem to be winded by their exchange.
"Okay Naruto let's see your ninjitsu arsenal that you gained" said Kakashi as Kakashi ready's his sharingan.
"Sure Kakashi sensei but be ready for a dozy." said Naruto as he looks at his sensei.
Tsunade, Shizune and Sakura are surprised at the blonde's fighting prowess in the area of taijutsu. But in Sakura's case she is internally seething at Naruto's ability in taijutsu.
'What does the demon know what he has that Sasuke should be given.' thought Sakura as she looks at the blonde who begins his ninjitsu battle.
"Hey Sakura you mind giving a hand this is afterall a team exercise" said Naruto as he looks at Sakura for help as he casts fire ball jutsus with a rapid fire.
However Naruto can't explain it but he senses malicious intentions from the pink hair girl of his past affections.
"Sure Naruto I'll help" said Sakura as she performs her super strength technique to throw a punch directly at Kakashi but missed and is about to hit Naruto instead. However Naruto dodges in a nanosecond as Sakura destroys a large boulder.
"Watch it Sakura I'm on your side in this remember" said Naruto as he dodges a fire ball from Kakashi.
"Yes Sakura, be more mindful of your maneuvers you could have easily hurt your teammate by mistake if it was someone else or Sasuke if he didn't leave." said Kakashi as he too also looks at Sakura with a critical eye.
Sakura noticeably has an eye twitch at the statement of her injuring Sasuke in a manner she almost injured Naruto.
"If it was Sasuke he would be more competent to dodge." said Sakura in a way that tips both ninja off as her statement let's them both know immediately that Sakura is insane but keeps this in thought.
"Enough Sakura let's do this together" said Naruto as she nods as the duo proceeded to double team Kakashi with close range tactics from Sakura and long range tactics from Naruto.
Naruto for his part manages to throws something that Kakashi didn't see. When Kakashi shoulder tosses Sakura he had to dodge the projectile thrown at him. Naruto catches said projectile and smirks.
Tsunade recognizes the projectile in question. 'Hmm I see he found Uzumaki Siro's crescent dart.' thought the blonde Sannin as she looks at Naruto and smirks.
Sakura for the most part throws a punch at Kakashi who causally dodges. 'Hmm it would seem like Sakura hasn't improved in any of her taijutsu skills from what I can see she is just using standard brawling more than any real taijutsu.' thought Kakashi with Tsunade, Shizune, and Naruto being on the same accord.
Naruto throws the crescent dart but this time Naruto throws something else in the mix that catches everyone off guard as Naruto throws a flash bomb at Kakashi's feet Naruto using the blindness of his sensei manages to cut the bells free without him looking and replaces them with two rocks henged into the bells.
Soon the ringing of the timer happens as Naruto flips away from Kakashi
"Well you two have some remarkable and interesting skills especially you Naruto" said Kakashi as he looks at the blonde who puts away the dart.
"Sakura I see room for improvement but you also did good as well" said Kakashi as he looks at Sakura with an equal eye smile but knowing deeply it's undeserved.
"Thank you Kakashi sensei that means a lot" said Sakura as she is oblivious to what the 4 know about her in her statement of Sasuke..
"But you two didn't get the be-" Kakashi never got to finish as Naruto throws the two bells to his feet. Greatly Shocking everyone at Naruto's victory.
" How did you"" It was when I threw a flash bomb at you I rushed in and took them when you though you leaped away I replaced them with rocks I found" answered Naruto as Kakashi is surprised at his student's cunning and skill.
The senior ninja each congratulate Naruto and Sakura on their team work in battle. While they internally have to be cautious around the pinkette as her mental state is questioning and ominous for their tastes.
Elsewhere in the leaf
Hinata Hyuga can be seen training with her team in team exercises. Kurenai had been drilling the team on group maneuvers. Hinata for her part had paid close attention to the team stratagem's Kurenai had them brush up on and so far Hinata is getting better at team combat.
Hinata is thinking to herself about her blonde boyfriend, how he seems fierce in a savage fighter sort of way in his being as if she is far behind him. 'I may need to study outside of my clan's taijutsu for me to keep up with my beloved. I can sense something that is powerful and determined. I only wish to keep up with him better' thought Hinata as she and her teammates leave after practice. Hinata walks up to Kurenai. "Kurenai sensei I need to ask you something" asked Hinata as Kurenai looks at her in interest. "Sure Hinata what questions do you have" asked Kurenai as she is curious of her student.
"I want to train in arts outside of my traditional Juken and into arts that varies from my clan's Juken but I don't know anyone of any noted skill" explained Hinata as Kurenai is surprised by her students boldness of going outside of her traditions.
Kurenai thinks the only people she could think of that could help was either her friends and one other person in the village.
"Well Hinata you're just in luck for I know a person who could help with such a thing" said Kurenai as she then thinks' So the Uzumaki boy's change must have brought a change in how Hinata approaches combat.'
With Naruto
Naruto is walking towards his family home as he is doing so he is suddenly attacked by black armored ninjas. A fierce battle commences as Naruto fights these warriors. 'So that old pervert activated the Black Spider group. Better take them out' thought Naruto as he snaps the neck of one of them. Naruto getting out hook swords shreds the rest of the black spider group.
'That was the grunts but where is the big boys' thought Naruto as he is soon hit by a ball and chain knocking him into a tree breaking it. Naruto recovers to see what seems to be elite black spider ninjas.
One is a towering muscular man with the ball and chain that slammed into him partly covered in samurai gear. Another is a kunoichi with a kusarigama in similar armor to the first but black purple. The third a man in all black armor, and the forth with armor similar to the third only with an eye patch.
"Tanya, Kano, Kagemaru, Koge and Gaiten why am I not surprised you four would be sent by that old pervert." said Naruto as he looks at the 4 in question.
"The Third Hokage and the Toad Sannin have found you wanting, seeking your independence as an instead of being the village's weapon. They have decreed us your destroyer and destroy you we shall" said Kano as he look at Naruto with question.
"They sure have taught the Four Spider Slayers something on talking but what about combat because all I have heard is talk from Kano. What about you Kagemaru, Gaiten or you Tanya are all of your just like Kano here, just talkers or some one who does what they talk about" said Naruto as he looks at the other assassins.
"Your going to let him talk to you like that Kano" asked Tanya as she looks at her brother in arms.
"No I am not so allow me to take care of him" said Kano as the brute of a man charges at Naruto.
The two begin to engage in close quarters combat. Kano is surprised by Naruto's incredible strength and skill.
'Hmm the brat has more skill than what was estimated of him' thought Gaiten as with his uncovered eye he sees the blonde beat back his fellow spider slayer.
Naruto after a long and fierce struggle lands a hard cross to Kano's jaw flooring him to the battered Kano looked at Naruto with fear as he crawls away. "What's wrong tough guy unable to back up your talk" said Naruto as he looks at Kano who has he hands up as he says "Mercy" "Sorry pal I not stupid" said Naruto as he beats Kano's head in killing him.
'That's one slayer down three more to go' thought Naruto as the other slayers are about to jump in until they sensed Anbu and the Hokage coming.
"You where lucky Uzumaki don't think this is over we will meet again" said Gaiten as they vanish as when the Hokage arrives. "Naruto what happened here" asked Tsunade as she looks at her godson.
"Trouble where's Jiraiya he has some explaining to do" asked Naruto
"He can wait right now we have a bigger issue the Kazekage has been abducted by the Akatsuki" said Tsunade as Naruto looks at her with shock.
"Your right that is a bigger issue. Jiraiya has only a reprieve." said Naruto as he walks up to his home to get some more clothes and a new weapon for the mission.
Timeskip 6 hours later.
Naruto along with team 7 with a new member being Sai, a female kunoichi with a disposition to feel her male comrade's groin. When she felt Naruto's groin and she had gained a major blush from what she felt as Naruto smirks at the girls boldness.
Sakura for the most part become more unstable by how Naruto revealed some key facts about the weapon he has of the Uzumaki clan a weapon called the Whirlwind thunder ball a specially made ball and chain that has special alchemical properties that was used by Goro Uzumaki the Juggernaut Brawler a ninja specializing in brute force
They had made it to Suna to see the damage from Gaara's battle. Team 7 was greeted by Temari and Baki. Baki for his part was surprised by Naruto's appearance as he was think he looked like a savage barbarian after seeing him. Team 7 had also met Lady Chiyo an elderly woman who is can be considered an equal to Tsunade as a ninja medic.
Naruto had revealed to Temari and Sakura of him being the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails Fox and being the son of the Fourth Hokage after explaining that the Akatsuki is after the tailed beast sealed inside of Gaara. Surprising Temari and internally angering Sakura at the prospect of Naruto coming from a prominent hero of Konoha.
Sakura had removed the poison found in Kankuro with some traces missed by Sakura that was easily taken care of by Naruto who used his own advanced skills in medical chakra to remove the rest. Naruto and Kakashi had scolded Sakura for her reckless disregard of an ally's treatment.
Right now team 7 along with Lady Chiyo are traveling towards a cave that appears to be emitting bijuu chakra that Naruto is sensing Team Gai meets up with the group as they move towards the woodland area. As they travel towards the area they encounter Itachi and Kisame in their path.
"Hey Itachi look , it's that Kyuubi's brat but he looks like he was living with lions for the past 3 years" said Kisame as he looks at Naruto with interest.
"Yes it would seem so. So Naruto, are you ready to come with us already" asked Itachi in a calm stoic tone.
"Not gonna happen boys why don't you get out of our way. We have a Kazekage to save" said Naruto as he, Sai and Kakashi get ready to fight subtly.
"Sorry Uzumaki but we have our orders to capture you and it looks like we have to do this the hard way" said Itachi as he has his mangekyo spinning soon everyone except Naruto, and Gai is trapped inside of the genjutsu. Naruto is surprised at this turn he is unaffected by Itachi's Sharingan as if it wasn't happening.
'Hmm impressive Uzumaki Naruto you are full of surprises' thought Itachi as he sees the blonde and Might Gai staring at the duo.
"Huh what's this how come the Kyuubi brat isn't under your eyes power. I understand Might Gai but not the Jinchuriki of the very being your eyes has power over." said Kisame as he looks at Naruto in question.
"I don't know but it looks like there is only one option left. Brute Force." said Itachi as he and Kisame charges at the only Konoha Duo standing. Kisame and Might Guy begin to fight as Naruto and Itachi go back and forth. The skirmish lasts for half an hour as Naruto senses that the duo in front of them are doubles after he catches a scent that doesnt match Itachi at all.
Naruto using the whirlwind thunder ball destroys the Kisame double. Might Guy destroys the Itachi double, snapping everyone out of the Genjutsu.
"Everyone quick we have to move towards the location of that cave before it's too late." said Naruto in an urgent tone of voice as the group move with even more rapid pace towards the location.
Team Guy moved to disable the seal allowing team 7 to advance inside of the cave. Naruto for his part is pissed as he friend Gaara has been killed due to the extraction of his bijuu but most of all he sees a pretty boy blonde sitting on his form.
"So your the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki I thought you would be a loud mouthed genin " said Deidara the Mad bomber as he makes a giant clay bird to fly off with Gaara's form. Naruto and Kakashi pursue the mad bomber as he lures Naruto away. Sakura and Lady Chiyo proceeds to face off with Sasori.
With Naruto and Kakashi in pursuit of Deidara
Naruto is getting very pissed as Deidara utter's a statement that really makes Naruto want to destroy the Akatsuki. "Why should you care about any Ninja Village after all when Taki heard that their Jinchuriki had been killed they threw a celebration for her death. Don't you see they don't care about you" as Naruto getting tired of Deidara's mouth lands in a rock filled terrain of the forest and makes ten shadow clones. "You boys know what to do" said Naruto as each clone proceeds to launch a bundle load of stones of varying sizes at Deidara who is dodging with some difficulty. The clones smirks as Deidara looks at them with smug look as before he could say anything Naruto hits him with the thunder ball causing him to fall of his bird which then crash lands. Deidara dazed tries to get up until Naruto rushes forward at him and beats him with in an inch of his life and proceeds to rip his arms off causing Deidara to scream. "What's wrong no smartass remarks about me being nothing but a tool" said Naruto as he throws another punch knocking some of his teeth out.
Before Deidara could be killed, Naruto instinctively jumps away from the mad bomber from some reason as an orange masked Shinobi shows up as Deidara retreats next to him. "Deidara senpai are you alright" asked the orange masked man in a jester like manner as Naruto looks at him with a sweatdrop.
"Not now Tobi just get me out of here" said Deidara as he is teleported elsewhere. "So the Jailor of the Kyuubi is strong no matter I will crush you no matter what this new strength you have" said Tobi in a dark voice as he fades away looking at both Kakashi and Naruto with a red hue in his eye hole.
"Come on Naruto lets get Gaara back to Lady Chiyo and Sakura" said Kakashi as they move back towards their group with Gaara in tow.
The Konoha Group see Naruto and company coming up with the dead form of Gaara deeply sadden by his death.
Lady Chiyo coming up to Gaara decides to do one last act in her life she uses a forbidden technique that sacrifices her life to revive Gaara. The group returns with a now alive Gaara who for the most part is surprised at his close friend's appearance.
"Thank you all I don't know how to repay this action but I will say that you all are a credit to Konoha and it's teaching of the will of fire" said Gaara as he shakes Naruto's happen and smiles.
"I was nothing afterall you would have done the same if I was in that position" said Naruto as the two groups parted ways. Naruto internally on his cellular make up is starting to take in nature chakra. His cells are slowly and steadily becoming more permeated with chakra and nature energy all while it is unknown to him and everyone else.
Along the way to Konoha on a nearby cliff three of the four spider slayer's are watching the young Uzumaki who is traveling.
"He is strong, isn't he my dear brothers?" said Tanya as she looks at the blonde with interest.
"Yes he is, hopefully we can enjoy the thrill of our battle with him" said Gaiten as Kagemaru nods in agreement as they watch the blonde from a distance.
Elsewhere in Konoha
Hinata is walking towards the cultural district of Konoha to find an old temple of sorts. She walks inside to see various statues of different samurai and ninja as she is about a tall amazon like woman in a well kept kimono stands behind her.
"Greetings young heiress so what do I own the please of meeting you this evening" asked the amazon as she looks at Hinata with interest. Hinata for her part is surprised by the woman's speed and size to be able to sneak up on her.
"My sensei has pointed me in the direction of your school for I want to train to be able to keep up with my love for I feel I can't keep up with his new strength and fierceness he has gained. I only ask mistress Sheeva" explained Hinata as the Amazon looks with a smile.
"So who is the one who your are training in the art of Sun Bin" asked Sheeva as she wants to know of her student's lover. "Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze" answered Hinata as she looks at the surprised amazon who smiles at the prospect of her lover.
"Hmm so the son of the red death and yellow flash is who you are training for. I see that you have chosen a worthy lover to train for. Very well I will teach you so prepare yourself for what's to come" said Sheeva as she guides Hinata inside of her school.
In another place outside of Fire Country.
A shadowy silhouette of an ape like creature can be seen moving through the waters of Wave Country as it makes it's way towards land leading to Fire Country. A fisherman who is doing some night fishing feels a tug on his line but what he doesn't know is that the line he's pulling with be his last as a fur covered hand reaches up from the water and pulls the man under it. The water start to turn red with the man's blood.

Yes Sai is a girl in this one and will be apart of the harem.
