Chapter 3: Fighting Arts Of Other Lands.
Naruto and his team is debriefing on what's happened with the Kazekage retrieval mission. Tsunade and company for her part is surprised that Naruto overpowered and maul Deidara the Mad Bomber and ripped his arms off. She thinks to herself. 'Boy Deidara should have shut his mouth for his remarks, look what it had cost him'. Tsunade proceeds to look at the removed arms.
Elsewhere in the Elemental Nations.
The Akatsuki are meeting discussing a certain blonde haired jinchuriki."So he did this to you" asked a purple haired woman as she looks at the stumps where Deidara's arms used to be.
"Yes but that's not all look at what he did to my face he cracked my eye socket. I tell you this, the Kyuubi's brat is different he's almost like a wild beast when he fights" said Deidara as the purple haired woman is treating his broken ribs and legs.
"Not only that but he ripped your arms off and took'em" said Kisame as he looks at the stumps as Itachi looks too with interest at the savagery Naruto unleashed on the bomber.
"What the hell the Kyuubi brat shouldn't be this ferocious I'm going to go investigate to get to the bottom of his new level of skill and fighting ability" said White Zetsu as he goes to investigate the nine tails jinchuriki. The rest of them leave as Konan goes to treat Deidara's injuries.
'Naruto Uzumaki what are you' thought Konan as she takes Deidara to their medical unit to get him new arms.
Back in Konoha
Naruto is walking towards the Academy building. Naruto had asked Tsunade if he could teach history about the Uzumaki to pre genin ninjas.
At the moment Naruto lecturing about how the Uzumaki clan helped with the founding of Konoha and how it was their sealing formulas that reinforce the walls and prevent infiltrators from climbing them, Iruka himself can also confirm his statement seeing as he himself was aware of the Uzumaki clan's existence.
As the lecturing is going on Naruto hears a knock on the door. "Enter" said Naruto as in walks a random chunin that appears to be towering over Naruto in height.
"Yes can I help you" asked Naruto as he looks at the chunin in question.
"I challenge you to a bare-handed duel to relinquish your claim of being the Yondaime's son" said the Chunin full of himself to be able to defeat Naruto.
"Where do you want to fight" asked Naruto as he looks at the foolish man in question.
"Out in the school yard so the young ones could see how a fake son of the Yondaime could see your shame." said the Chunin as he leads the way.
"Children I would like you all to come so you can understand Taijutsu better and understand how one should ideally fight on the battlefield when fighting in empty hand combat so watch closely. Iruka sensei whatever happens please don't interfere" said Naruto as Iruka nods grudgingly as the whole class follows him to the school yard.
Naruto and the tall chunin are walking towards the sparring yard. The man gets out a knife but Naruto gets into a fighting stance very much similar to the Hyuga clan's Juuken.
People are gathering around with some of them being Civilian council members as one of them thinks. 'This is perfect, the Kyuubi brat will die. Token is one of the top Taijutsu specialists in our village.' thought the councilor as they watch as the fight begin.
Many of Naruto's friends look on at the imminent battle. With Might Guy, Rock Lee and Neji looking on with interest at his fighting stance. 'Interesting Naruto's stance is similar to my own but something is off with it his feet is more orientated for straight forward hand to hand combat with something I can't make head or tails of.' thought Neji as the fight begins.
Token charges at Naruto in the hopes to kill him. As he slashes at Naruto who is effortlessly dodging each strike with expert timing as Naruto begins to lecture. "Now kids when fighting bare handed against a knife wielder it's always good to gauge how he swings his arm. That way it will allow you to set up counters that would disarm or disable your opponent." said Naruto as after dodging a few swings Naruto moves to disarm and disable Token in only 4 moves.
Naruto about to walk away hears Token say" Is that all you can do" as he gets into a boxer like stance.
"Ah good just hand to hand combat, pay attention kids hand to hand fighting is an important basis of all warfare so watch carefully" said Naruto as he gets into a fighting stance that catches the eyes of Might Guy, Neji, Rock Lee and an arriving Tsunade's eye.
Naruto's fighting form of choice is something never used in the Ninja world. As Token goes on the attack to try and overwhelm the blonde jinchuriki with brute strength but found himself being again easily disabled by the young blonde who uses a rushing elbow that is followed up with an uppercut and finished with a hopping spinning side kick that knocks Token away that and unconscious.
"Now kids when fighting hand to hand it's important to disable your opponent or he/she will kill you. To hesitate will cost you your life so remember opponents like this man will be rare to come by so remember when facing speed and agile opponents like me you have to learn to adapt to said opponent and situation on the battlefield so be careful of what to face. Class dismissed" said Naruto as the kids go home as Token is still unconscious. The civilian councilors move away from the area defeated and angry.
Tsunade and others shunshin over towards the blonde haired Jinchuriki in question. "Naruto, where did you learn how to fight like that." asked Neji as he looks at his blonde friend with question.
"Yes it is unique to see you fight like that in the Elemental Nations" said Tsunade as Might Guy agrees.
"Well it was years back when I was traveling" said Naruto as he begins to tell what happened during his training trip without Jiraiya.
Flashback 2 years ago with Naruto on the Road.
Naruto had finished his training in the Uzumaki Clan arts from Kenjutsu, Taijutsu, Ninjitsu and Fuinjutsu. Naruto has gained highly advanced skill in each category.
Naruto is traveling towards Snow Country so he could see the landmarks of the region while he is on break from training. Naruto while walking accidentally bumps into a short ball headed man who is wearing something that is a cross between a tunic and a gi with black pants and white kung fu shoes.
"Sorry pal, didn't see you there" said Naruto as he look at the man in question.
"Oh is it because I am short you didn't see me" said the short man as he looks up at Naruto as with anger.
"Look buddy calm down it was just an accident" said Naruto as he sees the short man's temper being like his when he was short.
"No one tells me what to do" said the short man as he gets into a stance that is alien to Naruto. But neither the less Naruto gets into his fighting stance he learned from the Uzumaki clan Taijutsu style.
The two get into a rough and tumble brawl with the short man using agile hard-hitting attacks that Naruto has trouble keeping up with. Both are fighting with a level of intense determination as their battle moves towards a cliff. The Short man is knocked off a cliff by a well-placed kick from Naruto but the short man drags Naruto with him off of it. The two fall off said cliff into a sake brewery. Naruto gets up first to recover when he notices he's in a sake brewery. Moving over to a barrel of sake he takes a gulp from the barrel and goes over to the unconscious short man. He poured some sake into his mouth, awaking the short man.
"He pal do you want to keep fighting or do you want to calm down and enjoy some sake before we are chased out of here." asked Naruto as he looks at the Short man in question.
"Ah what the hell might as well" said the Short man as they drank some sake with each other.
"So champ what's your name" asked the Short man as he looks at Naruto.
"Well I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze from the village hidden in the leaf of shinobi" answered Naruto as he looks at the man in question.
"I am Wonsik Jeong of Chungwon" said Wonsik as he looks at the blonde in question.
"What form of fight where you using against me. I have never seen a form so fluid yet so hard hitting" asked Naruto curious of his new opponent turned friend.
"That my blonde friend was yong-ui jumeog a fighting form of Chungwon that combines my homeland's native fighting forms with the Elemental Nations martial art of Shotokan karate." answered Wonsik as Naruto becomes interested in the form seeing as it was giving him a true battle despite his highly adaptive Kraken fist keeping up with him.
"Can you teach me" asked Naruto as he looks at the man in question.
"Sure but I need to learn your form of fighting in an exchange of knowledge" said Wonsik as he and Naruto leaves the brewery after being spotted by the security.
For next 8 months Naruto and Wonsik train together in the art of combat with Wonsik learning Kraken Fist. Naruto learned yong-ui jumeog learning the form with great detail on it's kata's and movements. The fighting form complimented his new physical attributes and removed the rugged movements to Kraken fist and added something to it's ferocious fighting with more of a technical feel.
Naruto and Wonsik parted ways after finishing their training. Naruto gained an appreciation of nomadic martial arts.
Flashback end
"So what can you do with this yong-ui jumeog" asked Tsunade as she looks at her godson in question. Naruto for his part smiles as he performs a technique that makes everyone look at him in awe. "Rising Dragon" said Naruto as he performs a fiery leaping uppercut. As he lands he smirks at his group of friends who share a shocked look. "Wow that is cool" said Choji as he looks at his friend land on the ground.
"What else do you know" asked Tenten, wondering what her blonde comrade has up his sleeve.
"There are secrets that I would like to keep close to me for combative purposes." said Naruto as he looks at Tenten. Naruto checking the clock says "Excuse me everyone I got to go take care of something at home hopefully this day gets more interesting" said Naruto as he goes towards his home.
As he is walking he sees a young girl with golden blonde hair in a trash can digging for food. Naruto thinks back to those nights moves towards the girl. "Hey there little lady are you hungry" asked Naruto, startling the girl who looks at him with a scared look. "It's alright come on I will feed you" said Naruto as he offers his hand to the girl. The girl looks at the blonde to see a sincerity in his words and his intent. She takes his hand and walks with him.
Elsewhere in the Elemental Nations.
A man with blonde hair in dress wear akin to that of a mercenary can be seen traveling on a boat towards Fire country from Storm Country as he thinks about a certain blonde who did him a great favor and service. 'Soon Dimitri we will meet again' thought the man as he goes to his quarters for the evening.
Back with Naruto
Naruto is feeding the girl he came to find is named Allita Draco. She was orphaned 4 years back after her parents where killed by a group of mysterious ninja on their way to Konoha. She revealed that her parents where from a nation known as Byzantium, a nation that was technologically sophisticated. Naruto for his part thinks as he looks at the girl in question. 'Wow what a coincidence to run into another person from Byzantium. Hmm looks like I ran into the family of Constantine afterall he did tell me something about his brother and his sister and law about where they are heading' thought Naruto as he looks at Allita in question who is eating her 6th bowl of Shrimp Ramen. Ayame while looking at the blonde girl is smiling at memories of when Naruto used to come inside of the stall. Before anything else happens a ruckus could be heard several blocks down. "Excuse me Ayame, could you watch little Allita while I go check it out" asked Naruto with a serious look.
"Sure Naruto little Allita chan will be here waiting for you" said Ayame as she nods in understanding of the situation.
Naruto goes to move towards the noise of the disturbance to see a man with tan skin, black hair with dark red markings similar to the Inuzuka clan in tribal clothing fighting three Shinobi at the same time. Naruto recognizes the man in question and shouts" Tal'set what are you doing here?" Which gets the man named Tal'set who stops fighting to turn towards Naruto and smiles.
"Ah Wolf fox, how are you doing" said Tal'set as he looks at the blonde in question.
"Wolf fox?" said the Chunin who is in a defensive stance.
"Who is he to you. Uzumaki san" asked an arriving Choza as he looks at Naruto along with several Anbu, Inoichi and Hiashi as they surround the duo. "Well simply put Tal'set is one of my teachers from when I was on my training trip" explained Naruto as the nins stand down but have their weapons and jutsu's ready to fight.
"So Wolf fox this is your village" said Tal'set as he looks around to see the structures of the marvelous building.
"Yes, it is but before you go exploring you must come with me Tal'set you are a visitor and visitors must speak with the Hokage those are our laws" said Naruto as Tal'set nods in agreement as he is then escorted by Naruto to the Hokage Tower. Everyone escorts Tal'set to the tower
Before the group goes, Naruto goes to get Allita so they could continue to the Hokage tower.
Timeskip 30 minutes later.
Tsunade is getting one surprise after another today about her blonde godson. As Naruto reveals to her that Tal'set had trained Naruto in the fighting techniques of his people the Omash Nation.
"Incredible Gaki, you're meeting new people from uncharted nations. So how did you two meet Naruto? I hope it wasn't a brawl over a misunderstanding" said Tsunade as Naruto and Tal'set chuckled at her statement.
"Well it was actually during an event your wouldn't believe" said Naruto as he begins his story.
Flashback month 4 of 2 year of training trip.
Naruto has gained a great deal of proficiency in the yong-ui jumeog form integrating and incorporating it inside of his Kraken fist. Naruto is walking towards a village in Spirit Country right next to Demon country, he wanted to visit the holy shrines of the nation to gain understanding of spirituality, something he notices is missing from the Shinobi Program as while ninjas are trained killers they aren't trained warriors.
As Naruto is traveling he sees a group of assassins attacking a man who appears to be a foreigner of the Elementals themselves as he wore dress wear with tribal like markings that are similar to the Inuzuka clansmen and Uchiha policemen only more deeply spiritual than both. His outfit consists of a padded denim vest with markings of a hawk, armbands with markings of a bear in it's design denim pants with moccasin style combat boots, a black head band with white triangles.
The man's weapon appears to be an axe but what seems to be more maneuverability than any Naruto has seen. The man seems to be outnumbered by his attempted killers but to Naruto's surprise the man is moving like a tornado in battle. Attack with punches, kicks, grapples and axehandle blows that slaughters a good number of assassins. Naruto jumps into the fray to assists the man together they slaughter the rest of the assassins in the battle.
"Nice work young blood what's your name" asked the man as he rips the blood off his axe.
"The names Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze" said Naruto as he looks at the man in question.
"Yours" asked Naruto as he looks at the man.
"The name is Tal'set , Spirit Warrior of the Omash Nation." answered the now named Tal'set as he looks at Naruto.
"So what brings you from Omash Nation" asked Naruto as he looks at the man in question.
"Well I came to help a child foretold by my people's sages to help combat a great threat to his people and the world. The sage never went by telling me his name but they gave me the location of the Elemental nations." explained Tal'set as he looks at the blonde.
"Say would you like to train together after all I could stand training with a spirit warrior of a country outside of the Elemental nations" said Naruto as Tal'set thinks about what he could learn from the blonde seeing as he could learn from the blonde in away about how warriors of his land fight.
"Sure Naruto it could help me be able to face off against assassins better than what I could have done" said Tal'set as the duo go towards the Wilderness of Spirit Country to train.
For the next 10 months Naruto and Tal'set train with each other exceptional skills. With Tal'set learning how to incorporate knife and physical attacks with his Tomahawk and Naruto learning more of a formulated method of close quarters combatives that brings some brutality and looseness to his original brawling technique. Tal'set had also learned how to manipulate his inner energy to enhance his physical healing so it could be better and more efficient than normal.
Naruto had also learned how to tap into his inner energy separate from chakra and the beast chakra inside of him learning of his animal spirit being that of a wolf like fox which gives Tal'set the idea of calling him the wolf fox. Naruto for his part gained even sharper senses than before after accessing his inner spiritual power.
Naruto and Tal'set went their separate ways after finishing their training. Tal'set wished Naruto luck on his training trip . Naruto also wished Tal'set good luck on his journey to find the chosen one. Unknowingly to both Naruto is said chosen one with a big destiny.
Flashback end
Tsunade for her part is in awe at Naruto's explanation of the two's meeting. "So Tal'set knows of the fox being sealed inside of you" asked Tsunade as she looks at Tal'set with curiosity as she looks at Naruto in question who nods in confirmation as Tal'set then explains. "Well you see the Omash have heard stories of people being containers of these tailed beasts. My fellow spirit warriors are able to sense spiritual energies similar to the Tailed beasts such as Thunderbirds sealed inside of Totem poles. Hence how I found out about the giant fox inside of him. I was able to sense the beast itself inside of Wolf Fox." explained Tal'set as Tsunade looks at the man in question.
"So what are you doing here in Konoha" asked Tsunade, curious of the man in front of her.
"Simply put I am here to give something to Naruto as the Great Spirit pointed me to my target" said Tal'set as he hands Naruto a box.
"Wait I am your people's prophesied chosen one" said Naruto as he is shocked by the reveal as are everyone in the room. As Tal'set nods in agreement.
"Yes you see it started with the day that your where born on when you told me of your birth. The day of your birth and the champion our people had prophesized " said Tal'set as he begins to explain to Naruto of how his birth and the chosen one's birth is mention that connects to each other in a big way that makes him the chosen one. From not only the location but also his transformation.
"Wow" said Tsunade as Shizune nodded both surprised by Tal'set's story. None more than Naruto who is surprised of a prophecy of how he is the champion of his world.
"Yes but I must warn you Naruto there are dark forces that seek to halt your progress one such force is known to my people as Wendigo a beast of incredible power and ferocity that will test you as a fighter and warrior of your people. For it's near immortality and willpower could possibly even dwarf that of the Nine tailed fox. This will be a incredible challenge to you Naruto so you must be mentally and spiritually prepared for the fight." said Tal'set as Tsunade and Shizune look with worried looks at Naruto.
Elsewhere in Konoha
Hinata has been training with Sheeva in the art of Sun Bin. She has come to gain incredible skill in the area of defensive combat learning how to negate the advantage of any bloodline user by using precise
aim dodging to critical attacking that would bring down the most skill of bloodline users.
Hinata's skills in Juuken soared to new height not seen before in any Hyuga in the history of the clan. Hinata has not only mastered Gentle fist but has evolved it to a level the Hyuga elders would be able to replicate on their best days. Right now Hinata is sitting in a pool of water she has started to learn the Sun's beam techniques a set of techniques that involves the rapid use of honing maneuvers to zoom into an opponents guard and shred them with unarmed combat techniques in the form of a devastating heavy and rapid punch kick combo know as the sun's fury that would see the opponent greatly unable to stand it ground against said attack. 'Naruto kun I wonder what your doing right now' thought the Hyuga girl as she relaxes in her relaxing bath.
Elsewhere in Konoha.
Kakashi is going over the information brought to him by Sakura about Sasori having a spy in Orochimaru's ranks that is supposed to meet with him during the next two weeks. Kakashi thinking how it could be problematic if they show up in henge after all Sasori's spy could expect them to be there. He is thinking of one person who could help his team with the mission.
'Better go ask Lady Hokage for Tenzo's help for this mission afterall we may need more hands for the mission.' thought Kakashi as while he doesn't doubt his student's ability in combat he's more or less cautious of his female student's mental state around his blond student especial if they are getting back his runaway student.
Back with Naruto
Naruto is in his home contemplating what was told to him by Tal'set yesterday about him being chosen to save the world from destruction along with bringing a key revolution to the shinobi way of life. As he is doing this he looks at the armor Tal'set had gifted him. The armor set comprises of the a unique tribal design featuring steel plated bracers with matching shin guards connected to a pair of moccasin style combat boots, a headband with fangs of a wolf engraved into it's design, a padded layered vest. Naruto examines it carefully as and notes that it's made of an elastic material. Naruto places the armor back inside of the box and places it inside of the equipment box next to his ancestral armor. But what catches Naruto's eyes is the weapon a spear with the shape with the edge's design of an eagle's foot and talon.
Walking outside of the room he looks at Allita playing with a flute that belonged to his mother. Naruto had told Tsunade about Allita's origins and a possible relative that might be coming to Konoha. He had asked Tsunade if he could keep Allita home with him for her to stay out of trouble of the villagers. Tsunade agreed but not before running some tests on her for any aliments she may have picked up from staying inside of the elementals
Naruto smiles at the girls skill with the flute as he sits and listens. As Allita is about to finish he hears a ring from his gate. Walking outside towards the gate he sees two Anbu with Rat and Vulture masks.
"Uzumaki Naruto the council has called a meeting pertaining to one Tal'set of the Omash Nation and Allita Draco." said Rat.
"Okay let me lock up I will be there shortly" said Naruto as Rat the says something remarkable stupid and ignorant.
"You will come with us to explain why foreign dogs are in this village and in this home at this instant" said Rat as he is then struck in his mouth by a blurring Naruto. "Watch your mouth punk or you'll have to have a new dental plan" said Naruto as he locks the door after telling Allita he will be back and that should something happens she is to run to the safe room inside of the library,
"Okay let's roll but mind your tone Rat san, or you might not want Neko to hear how you feel about foreigners" said Naruto which makes Rat shiver with fear at Neko seeing as Naruto's mother was Neko's teacher and herself a foreigner.
Going towards the council chambers the group are unaware of the 3 individuals watching over the Uzumaki Namikaze compound. With a critical eye they see Tal'set and Allita playing together inside of the home they begin to make their move.
With Naruto.
Naruto is walking towards the council chambers he could already hear the yelling behind the heavy doors. Cracking his neck he breathes in and internally says 'Show Time' He opens the doors to see the clan heads and the civilian councilors arguing. As he walks in an incredibly loud woman by the name of Mebuki Haruno yells. "Demon, why do you have those foreign devils inside of the Yondaime's home" as Naruto soon leaks out killing intent that silences the Haruno woman and her fellow councilors as he sets down.
"Okay to answer your question, that man in my home is a guest due to finishing his holy mission by his peoples sages. He is returning to his homeland. That little girl is staying with me so her uncle could come get her and to try to keep him from destroying Konoha" said Naruto as the civilian council plus the elder council scoffs at the last part of his statement.
"How can this one man be such a problem for us to be worried about him. We could just kill him and be done with him and his family" said Danzo in a tone that is assuring of Konoha's and personally his own Root forces. Naruto for his part chuckles then full-on laughs at Danzo and the civilian councils ignorance as they scowl at him.
"Yes if he was an ordinary mercenary. But Constantine Draco isn't. He possesses extreme combat skills and superhuman strength on a level that rivals and surpasses Tsunade by a lot, he's just as quick as me and has animal senses that surpasses me and the whole Inuzuka clan which is by no means an easy feat mind you, he's a combat veteran in his countries Thunder Legion which is some of their most savage and fiercest shock troops that have fought in battles that would make our fiercest Shinobi Wars look tame by comparison with him being the strongest and fiercest of them." said Naruto as Choza then speaks up.
"How do you know so much about him?" as Naruto smirks and says. "I have trained with him after I fought with him" he remembers that day he met the man he has come to respect greatly.
Flashback year 2 of training trip after the Shinyama injection.
Naruto is traveling towards the Land of Lions. He sees the beasts of said land move and attack with majestic power and instinct as it pounces on it's quarry making it's kill. As Naruto is walking he sees a 9 men seemingly poaching a rather large lion. Naruto leaps into action to free the lion and overpower the poacher.
"Stop, why are you poaching this creature?" demanded Naruto as he looks at the men in question.
"Simply for it's fur" said the lead poacher as he snaps his fingers for his men to attack. Naruto easily fights them off and looks at the man in question. Soon however a large boulder can be seen flying past Naruto's head.
'Wow who can have that level of strength outside of Tsunade baachan to be able to throw a boulder that fast' thought Naruto as he turns towards the direction of where the boulder came from to see a man who stands at 6'5 compared to Naruto's 6'0 with a physique that makes Naruto think he's a demigod of sorts.
"Constantine help me this kid is trying to kill me, he a ninja" said the lead poacher as the man known as Constantine looks at the blonde in question. He then gets into a fighting stance. Naruto sensing the man is unaware tries to talk to him. "Hey buddy this guy is a poacher he's poaching animals illegally" said Naruto as the man known as Constantine speaks up and says." Prove it from what this guy has told me he is apart of a wild life study group from Fire Country." said Constantine as he and Naruto beings to fight with one another in a brutal one on one battle. Naruto is surprised at the man's speed as advanced as his.
When he blocks a blow he feels a tremor go through his body as if he's facing an even stronger Tsunade. Naruto makes a shadow clone secretly to move around to the lead poacher's camp as he deals with the grappler assault from Constantine. Naruto is surprised as he senses no Chakra from the man at all just like Rock Lee and Might Guy no chakra all natural speed.
Constantine for his part sees Naruto fighting defensively as if he's not trying to fight him only just survive him. As Naruto makes some handsigns for a fire ball jutsu Constantine kicks a rock over at Naruto who seeing this jumps over it and using it a spring border to lunge at Constantine and lands a kick on Constantine knocking him back some.
'Incredible he is just about stronger than Baa chan and his agility for his size is unreal. His technique is brutal but efficient how can one fight like this. I have meet samurai but even they pale in comparison to this man's skill and technique with his strength and ferocity.' thought Naruto as he looks at the man in question.
Both fighters are sizing each other up as punches and kicks are traded, close quarters tactics exchanged with analytical measurement. The man known as Constantine is very impressed by the blonde's reflexes and speed.
Naruto's shadow clone is looking through the poacher's equipment to find the much needed evidence to prove his boss's claim of the group being poachers.
Constantine and Naruto fight turns to a battle between speed and strength. Naruto is enduring the brunt of Constantine's strength taking blow after blow from the blonde strongman. As Constantine is on guard from Naruto's rapid assault.
Naruto's shadow clone soon moves back to the battlefield to see his boss bloody and battered as the strongman himself is panting hard with brushes that much like Naruto is slowly healing. Shocking the young blonde to find someone with similar healing abilities outside of himself and several others in the elemental nations.
"Hey buddy can you stop so you can listen to the boss for a second" said the Naruto shadow clone as he stares at the shadow clone in question.
"Huh what's this one of your ninja tricks" asked Constantine as he looks at the shadow clone.
"Yeah and something to help talk some sense into you" said Naruto as his shadow clone throws him a map and dispels giving Naruto information needed for Constantine.
"What's this" asked the blonde strongman as he looks at the map in hand.
"That map is to the city of thieves Rajomon that's where they would head to. If they where a group of wildlife studies they wouldn't have a root to said city marked on their map they would have a root that is guarded by Ninja or Samurai of this country" Naruto reasoned as Constantine looks at said map with interest as Naruto throws him information on related to said map.
Constantine then compares Naruto's information to said map. He then looks at Naruto with critical eyes as if seeing into his soul.
"Your telling the truth. As I can smell and sense a lie and so far your telling the truth" said Constantine as he then turns towards the poachers with a animalistic growl as he looks at the leader.
"Looks like you boys got one choice: either surrender or die" said Constantine as he looks at the still conscious poachers. Who then places their hands on the back of their heads.
"Come on kid I owe you a drink" said Constantine as he looks at the blonde ninja in question.
The duo walks towards a nearby police station to turn the men in for poaching. During the walk Naruto introduces himself as Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze of Konoha. The man known as Constantine introduces himself as Constantine Draco of Byzantium, a country of advance technological development.
"So Constantine from how you fought you must have been a soldier of some sorts. Highly trained from what I can see" said Naruto as he and the tall man looks at a tall man drinking a mug of Shochu.
"Well I was apart of the Thunder Legion. A legion that specialized in shock troop tactics. I was the strongest and fiercest of those shock troops. But after my 7th tour of duty I left to find my brother Vladislav Draco and his family who was traveling to the elementals to work as a doctor" answered Constantine as Naruto listens.
"Well I wish you luck on your journey" said Naruto as he finishes his drink and is about to leave until Constantine grabs him.
"Hold on buddy you saved my neck in making a mistake with those poachers now I will be doing you a favor so what favor do you want in return" asked Constantine as he looks at Naruto in question.
"Well seeing as you had me beat despite my training in my clan arts you could teach me something about how warriors of Byzantium fight on the battlefield" reasoned Naruto as he wants to see how this man who's build makes Jiraiya's looks laugh is able to fight on par with him.
"Very well I will teach you the Byzantium arts of the battlefield. In return I would also like to learn much about how Ninjitsu works" answered Constantine as he looks at the blonde in question who nods in agreement.
Flashback end
"So what did this foreigner teach you in terms of tactics. That would allow him to stand his ground with Shinobi of the highest order" asked Danzo as he looks at the blonde.
"Well Lord Danzo he taught me how to survive a battle nothing more nothing less. As while winning one is the goal of a ninja but surviving one is another." said Naruto cryptically as everyone looks at Naruto with confusion. Before anything could happen Neko rushes into the room with a sense of urgency.
"Neko what's wrong Lady Hokage, Naruto Kun the Namikaze compound is under attack by Ninja bearing the symbol a the black spider." said Neko as Naruto is in shock at the statement moves to go towards his home.
"Where do you think your going" demanded Homura as he and his fellow teammates look at Naruto who's eyes are glowing with rage.
"To defend my clan home from invaders" said Naruto as he storms off towards his home intent to kill.
'Hmm looks like he's the right choice after all' thought Tsume as she senses Naruto's pheromones.
At The Namikaze Compound
Tal set is fighting of black spider ninjas sent to assault the compound at it's gates on the front lawn. The ninja are taken aback by the Omash warrior's ferocity and skill as he slaughters many of their numbers. Allita is in the safe room that Naruto built incase of such an assault. She is looking out inside of the safe room's cameras to see the battle.
Back with Naruto
Naruto is moving through the rooftops trying to get to his compound until he sees a familiar face. "Hello, Naruto, it's been awhile hasn't it" said a familiar blonde haired Byzantium warrior.
"Not long enough come I have an invasion of my compound to repel" said Naruto as Constantine follows keeping up with the blonde by following similarly on the roof tops. The Duo stumbles upon the site of Tal set being surrounded by black spider ninja as Gaiten approaching Tal set.
"Ah Namikaze right on time to watch your friend die. Let's hope he has trained well" said Gaiten as he proceed to fight Tal set as 50 black spider ninja attack while 5 others create a barrier around the battleground where Tal'set and Gaiten are.
Constantine gets out his sword something those viewing the battle from the seeing orb could only compare to that of a katana. As he swings the sword cutting one nin in half.
Tal set is fighting Gaiten on even ground shocking the spider slayer by the man's skill. The fighting gets bloodier as Constantine switches weapons to just a ball and chain a starts smashing the enemy forces. The Tro showcases their true brute force by plowing through some of the Black Spider Ninja's quickly slaughtering them all. Tal Set manages to get the upper hand against Gaiten and decapitates him.
Soon Tsunade arrives with Anbu to the compound to see the bodies of the black spider ninja group.
"Are you three alright?" asked Tsunade as she looks at the trio surprised at the ferocity the trio had demonstrated.
"Yes we'll be fine" answered Naruto as he turns towards Constantine. "Constantine this is Lady Tsunade 5th Hokage of Konoha" answered Naruto as Constantine looks at Tsunade with interest.
"So you are leader of this village of shadow warriors. I must say the young blood's description of you does you no just for I see a beautiful strong woman in front of me" said Constantine as he takes off his helmet to reveal hair in a similar color to Naruto's own.
Tsunade for her part is charmed by the foreign warrior in question. "Well, that's nice of you to say Constantine. For a foreign warrior you are a gentleman." said Tsunade as she looks at the warrior who smiles at the Lady Hokage's charms.
"Uncle Constantine" said Allita as she runs towards her uncle embracing him in a hug. "Little Allita I am glad you are here, where is you mother and father" asked Constantine as he looks his niece. As Naruto, Tsunade and Shizune looks at him with sadness.
"Constantine you may want to come inside we have much to discuss about your brother and sister-in-law" said Tsunade as she looks at Naruto who knowing what to do makes several shadow clones to clean the battle ground up so as they go inside of the main house. Tal set too walks in to help comfort the herculean warrior for the news he is about to hear about family.
Timeskip an hour and 30 minutes later
Constantine is sitting in silence for two and a half hours. Tsunade and Allita has explained that ninja of an unknown country had slain his brother and his wife, leaving his niece an orphan.
"Do you know who the ninja is, my darling Allita?" asked Constantine as he looks at his niece in question.
"No Uncle Constantine I saw now village markings associated with them all I saw where white masks." said Allita as Naruto gets a drawing pad feeling he may suspect a particular party in question. Naruto with expert speed draws what he may suspect would be the suspected group in mind.
"Allita did the ninja's mask look something like this" asked Naruto as he shows the mask of a Root Anbu. Allita looks at it with shock and fear as this confirms what Naruto fears as he shows Tsunade who scowls at what she had expected and turns to Constantine.
"I know who did this travesty. It was a Warhawk named Danzo who at one point ran a black ops division called Root. He is patriotic and loyal to Konoha. But." "But his brand of patriotism is full blown fanaticism that from what I can sense involves blind loyalty, brainwashing and indoctrination as well as imperialistic agenda's." said Constantine interrupting Tsunade who is surprised by the Byzantium warrior.
"How did you know?" asked Tsunade as Constantine then looks at her and replies "I have met several Warhawks who were alike, none of them original in their behavior. This one is just as slithering as any of them" "Why hasn't he been placed under surveillance or careful monitoring a man like this shouldn't have this type of army." said Constantine as he looks at Tsunade.
"Well blame my mentor the third hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi he was more focused on turning Naruto into an attack dog than he was being a leader to look out for these types of problems" said Tsunade as Constantine is more disgusted than ever before.
"Tell me more about your village structure of power. I am fairly new to your nations, and I don't understand them." asked Constantine as Tsunade begins to explain to Constantine about ninja village hierarchy and how it's run. Constantine for his part is disgusted by how the strongest of the supposed military village has a corruption problem with it's civilian and elder advisors.
"This is unacceptable. how can a village of such strength have this level of bureaucratic inefficiency and power mongering. Your mentor allowed Konoha to turn into a cesspool of corruption and degeneration. All to turn this young warrior into a mindless killing machine with the power of a Bijuu " said Constantine as he looks at Tsunade in question.
"So tell me what has your internal forces done about these corrupt elements in your corrupt government" asked Constantine as he looks at the trio in question who are silent. Constantine senses one thing that makes him Godsmack. "You don't have any internal security forces do you?" he asked with a serious look to him.
"No apparently the old fool didn't even make an effort to even form a new police force for the village before his death." said a disappointed Tsunade.
"Well it looks like I have found a job that will benefit this village in a big way for natives and travelers" said Constantine as he smiles at the Konoha group.
Timeskip 2 day later.
Naruto is walking towards team 7's training area. He had seen Tal set off on his voyage to his home country. Allita and Constantine went to stay with Tsunade seeing as she has plenty of room in her home.
Constantine was hired to establish a new military police force inside of the village. Many on the civilian councilors tries to block the motion but Tsunade overruled them by reminding them of the village being a military one not a civilian run village.
As Naruto walks inside of the boundary of the training ground he sees a new face with Kakashi. Who turns towards Naruto in greeting. "Greetings Naruto, I am Yamato, formerly of Anbu I will be your additional man for future operations" introduced Yamato as he shakes Naruto's hand.
Naruto senses something interesting with his new teammate as he feels the Bijuu's chakra fading from his face slowly but noticeable.
"So Kakashi what's this meeting about" asked Naruto as he turns towards his sensei.
"Well Naruto we found a possible lead that could bring us to Sasuke and Orochimaru's location" said Kakashi as Sai walks behind Naruto and grabs him downstairs.
"Okay Sai as flattering as this maybe you should do this after you know the person you are attracted to and when you want to be intimate with said person," said Naruto as Sai despite her training blushes at the suggestion after removing her hand from his groin.
"So what's the plan Kakashi sensei" asked Sakura wanting to know of her plan to get Sasuke back to the leaf.
"That's why Yamato is here he is to provide us a means to meet with Sasori's spy without any suspicion of Sasori's death. That way he could reveal where Orochimaru's base is" explained Kakashi as he looks at Naruto in question.
"Is that wise I mean Sasori was killed days ago he or she could rabbit if they suspect anything" said Naruto as he doesn't want his teammates to be hurt in an ambush with Oto nins especially with any possible super mutants that are among Orochimaru's ranks that he has been hearing about.
"Thankfully Naruto we will have reinforcements in the form of Teams 8 and Guy. Hopefully we can deal with any Oto ambush." said Kakashi reassuring his blonde student.
"Okay everyone we have till Sunday to prepare so be ready to commence this mission Tsunade has allowed the mission to proceed. If we are lucky we could bring Sasuke back with us unharmed" said Kakashi as they all leave except Naruto and Kakashi as the former stops his sensei.
"Hey Kakashi, we need to talk about this mission," said Naruto as he looks at his teacher.
"Sure Naruto what's this about" asked Kakashi as Naruto proceeds to tell what he's been feeling about Sai and Sakura, much of it not good.
"I had the same feeling about Sakura due to her fangirlish past and inconsistent psyche reports, Sai is expected due to who trained her. I'll tell Guy and Kurenai to keep an eye on Sakura for any expected double cross" said Kakashi as Naruto nods.
With Tsunade and Constantine
Jiraiya is not having a good day as he is being strung up by his ankles and beaten with a club.
"Where are the black spiders located in Jiraiya." demanded Constantine as Anko pulls out a fingernail from his middle finger.
"Go to hell foreign devil I will not tell you shit" said Jiraiya as he spits blood in Constantine's face. As he looks at the man in question as he then knee Jiraiya in the jewels.
Before anything could happen an explosion punches a hole through the interrogation room. Black Spider Ninja Swarm inside of to cover Jiraiya's escape as Anko, Ibiki, Constantine, Tsunade and Shizune.
"Jiraiya your a deadman you and the toads" said Tsunade as she crushes a black spider nin's windpipe and throws him into his comrades. As the group starts slaughtering the nin's. Constantine also makes short work against his group of black spider nins.
'Things are getting out of hand' thought Jiraiya as he moves towards the Hidden Black Spider Fortress. Soon things in the elemental nations are going to get hectic. For 4 enemy factions are showing their colors.
Elsewhere in The Elementals
A man can be seen stumbling away from what appears to be a battle site at a campsite. He's panting hard as he is struggling to stand up. But he soon falls over on the ground as he's trying to get to his feet he is soon picked up by an unknown creature that rips him apart. "WENDIGO" roared the creature as it proceeds to eat the remains of the man.
Back with Naruto
Naruto is practicing his kata from a style he learned from a former temple master known as Karashin Kempo a fighting form that has refined and evolved the most ancient and effective fighting techniques from a man known as Doshin Gensai a warrior philosopher and teacher of the spiritual side of the martial arts. Naruto remembers every punch, every kick and every throw and takedown he has been trained to use he performs on a training dummy.
"Remember Naruto your Tekken is only as strong as your will for it will guide you through the path the heavens have laid out for you." the voice of Doshin in the mind of Naruto who finishes his kata's as he then thinks about what's Tal'set had told him before he left. "Remember Naruto the Wendigo is nearly indestructible to overcome him you will need strength and willpower."
'I have been given a great power and not only did I discover treachery and corruption in my village but discover a great destiny that is centered around me and the fate of the world. I can only hope my newly acquired superhuman abilities and fighting skills be enough to face challenges that threatens the future.' thought Naruto as he proceeds to meditate.
Chapter End.

Author's notes
The Wendigo comes from Native American folk lore but his appearance is like his marvel comics counterpart of being a carnivorous sasquatch.
Karashin Kempo you can think to be the amalgamation of Shorinji Kempo and Kara ho Kempo on top of spiritual philosophy.
Jiraiya is going to be a wanted man as Konoha cleans up and reorganize.
Naruto had learned some fighting forms from foreigners two will be named next chapter.
yong-ui jumeog translates as Dragon fist is the equivalent to Tang Soo Do a real world Korean martial art only with an added bonus.
Constantine and the Thunder Legion are based loosely on the Varangian Guard of the Byzantine Empire only more slavic in origins than their real life Nordic counterparts.
Obviously Byzantium is based on the Byzantine Empire only more technologically advanced.
Tal set is based on Turok from the comic and video game series of the same name with a different American Indian tribe in mind.
