Hello my fellow pit dewellers, it is I!! Orion1227!! and I've returned with my offering of Chapter 4 of Naruto: I'm a Gamer, so what.
Disclamer: I own nothing, for now anyways *evil laughter *
chapter 4.
Quest complete! New friends Old secrets
"Battalion commander! The serpent has broken through the rest of the second company and the third company has engaged." a familiar blond Boy announced. He was shirtless, with orange tatters that were once known as pants like the rest of his brethren when their boss created them along with wearing a beret that looks to be made out of braided long grass.
"Thank you bunshin 381 of company 3 for the information. I've come up with another plan, to lead the target towards the shodai's forest scouts from the fifth company who have found a Rathian Nest in a cave system three miles into the forest. You are dismissed and relay the Operation details to your company leader." The Battalion commander had the same appearance as his bunshin brethren, the only thing different was that his beret was an aging yellow while the Others had lively Green shades.
"Understood commander!" The one dubbed bunshin 381 sounded off then disappeared.
Casually hopping from branch to branch Naruto was watching the Anjanath chase a bunshin blindly. Looking up he could make out the village gates'. "Hey kit, I have a question for you?"
"Hmm… what ya got?" Naruto hummed out, his eyes not leaving his prey's staggering form.
In the seal Kurama made an expression of thought, his index finger and thumb stroking the chin of his muzzle. "Don't you know any ninjutsu, didn't that old monkey give a scroll with some in it?"
Losing his Concentration the blond slid off the branch he just jumped to only reach his hand to the same branch while applying chakra to his palm using it as a fulcrum, he used the momentum to swing himself to the next branch. "Damn it!" The blond whispered harshly. "Well… umm… I forgot." Naruto muttered Defeatedly, his shoulders drooping.
He didn't know why, but the Ninjustu didn't come to mind when he was fighting the serpent or the Anjanath. His tenant understood though. "Kit when we're done I'm gonna up your training. I can't have you forgetting your skills, I understand that you couldn't help it with everything that's been happening."
The blond nodded to his friends' words. "You are right… I could get myself and others killed That way." Naruto replied sadly.
Kurama, not wanting his host to feel down, spoke quickly. "Don't worry too much Kit, just be glad that you were here alone. None of your classmates would be able to do what you've been doing for the past three Hours. So be proud you are strong and can be even Stronger." The giant fox spoke softly, this was the last of his family and he'd be damned if he Lost him to this dark world. After that thought he had to ask a question that's been bugging him for the past hour or so. "Hey Kit, what's on your head."
Naruto was confused, reaching up to grab what's on his head to find some sort of head wear. It was a beret made of orange Leafs. "I don't know but I like it."
"I like it, maybe we could make it a permanent add-on to the future wardrobe we'll be picking out for you." Kurama stated finely.
Naruto was about to argue, but thought about it. "FINE!" The blond huffed then continued. "I at least want burnt orange as a secondary color."
Kurama chuckled, knowing why Naruto wanted burnt orange. "That's fine." He paused then spoke again. "Hey kit, try using one of those ninjutsu That the monkey gave you."
"Okay" the blond chirped. Trying something he was curious about the blond thought of the ninjutsu he knew of. "Awe! I got one!" as he went through hand seals instinctually.
"Hebi" "Nezumi" "Tori"
"Doton: Doryuusou (Earth Release: Earthen Rising Spears)
"Kit before you release that chakra, drop to the ground, while falling focus the chakra to your feet and when you make contact then do the rest as you would normally do." Kurama suggested to the boy in a tone that made him sound like a Sensei. Chuckling at the thought of Kurama teaching a classroom full of brats.
Jumping from the tree branch he was standing on, falling through the air the blond had an urge to do something cool. And cool it was, landing on the ground with his left fist and knee dug into the forest floor while his other side was spread out with his right leg at a 90 degree angle. His face forward, right arm raised up behind him. The focused Doton nature chakra he had built up, he released into the soil of the forest through his left fist and left knee causing the earth around him to smash and crater. Naruto thought of a spear head in his minds' eye erupting from the earth below, but something unexpected happened.
Erupting from the forest floor was a spike of metal that pierced the head of the Anjanath through its lower jaw stopping it in its tracks. The beast's corpse slumped as its limbs were spasming.
"Fatality! You have defeated Juvenile Anjanath. Your total Exp gain has increased from 20.37% to 84.37%. You have 15.63% Exp left until next level.
Absolutely shocked, Naruto's jaw made itself a cozy little den in the ground, without really thinking about it the blond spoke aloud. "Kurama-nii what was that!" the blond shouted, he didn't think that there was a mono sub-elemental chakra nature.
Kurama was confused as well, he'd never expected that to happen. "I don't know kit we might have to replicate that later on, do you remember the process of what you did?" he asked, never seeing anything like it.
Naruto was in deep thought by the expression on his face, folding his arms while analyzing the spike of metal. "Hey Kurama, is there such a thing as another form of element manipulation for Doton?" the whiskered cheeked boy questioned his inner fox.
The fox being dragged from his thoughts answered his host. "Yes actually, they are called subelements. One is Kōtetsuton, but from what I know is that they can't project it out of their bodies; they can only use it to re-enforce the body to deliver powerful blows."
Naruto nodded, like he just solved the world's biggest secret. "I think I figured it out Kurama-nii." the blond said in confidence.
"Oh? Go on and show this old Biju something new." Kurama mocked the blond teasingly, his signicher volpine smirk taking residence on his face.
Naruto huffed indignantly. "Just sit and relax, old man, and watch as this youngen shows you how it's done." the blond snarked back.
Kurama laughed heartily from within the seal. He missed the old Uzumaki spunk, and sharp retorts. Naruto hearing his tenet's laughter made him smile a bit, getting his mind back on track the blond went through the same hand seals for the Jutsu. Feeling that the chakra was molded properly, he steadily pooled the Doton chakra into his foot. Lifting his foot from the ground he focused on the pooled chakra and condensed it. After a few moments of this process he stomped his foot on to the ground making the crater wider and deeper then before, the boy wasn't focused on that. He was focused on a tree a little distance away that was just impaled by a metallic spike. "Ha! I knew that's how it works!" Naruto shouted excitedly jumping up and down.
The nine tailed Biju was amazed by the discovery. "Kit you are something else you know that right? I never thought a little gaki would figure out how to form Doton chakra into a metallic substance." he stated in awe.
Hiruzen was speeding toward the east gate of the village, he had shinobi guiding travelers as well as merchants to the south gate to avoid any casualties among the civilians. He wasn't alone, he had Jiraiya and Kakashi that joined them when he heard about the beast.
"Sensei, how would you rate Naruto's skill when it comes to hunting?" The gamma-sannin queried as they got to the gate, not knowing anything about his grandson's skill.
The Hokage was wondering the same. "To be honest with you Jiraiya-kun i don't know. I had to keep my interaction with Naruto-kun low so the council couldn't pull a vote of no confidence on me." he paused then thought about what he was gonna say next, trying to forget all the times he was too late to save the boy from his abusers. "But his brother does, I had him go on hunts with the boy to keep an eye on him."
Jiraiya stopped in his tracks. "What do you mean brother!" the sage said in shock and disbelief. "Minato and Kushina-chan didn't have another child but for Naruto!"
Hiruzen was chuckling with Kakashi alongside him doing the same, the old monkey decided to fuck with him a little. "Kushina-chan wasn't the mother." amusement could be heard in his voice.
"Sensei, what are you talking about?" The white haired man was frantic; he didn't know Minato cheated on Kushina.
The Hokage couldn't hold it. He laughed at the face of the sannin was making, wheezing the Hokage continued. "Do you remember the research I gave you that had a three some awhile back? It was why Kushina-chan and Mikoto-chan hunted you down for that week you were in the village."
The white haired sage dropped to his knees in disbelief, his mouth ajar with his eyes wide. Raising a trembling hand, he pointed at his sensei. "Yu-yu-you're telling me that was kushina-chan and Mikoto-chan?" he said with blood streaming from his nose.
The old fire shadow nodded sagely.
"The peanut butter…" Jiraiya mumbled.
Kakashi was the one to nod this time with a perverted look in his eye.
"The whip cream." he muttered blood spraying from his nose.
The other two men nodded at the white haired man.
He dropped to his hands and muttered one last thing like he missed the biggest event to ever happen. "The chocolate syrup."
The other two giggled pervertedly.
"How-" he was cut off by a large quake, That was felt from training ground 42. No hesitation whatsoever they were gone. "Sensei do you think that was the Anjanath?"
The Hokage shook his head grimly. "Worse… A Uzumaki with a new toy."
All three of them remember how Kushina was when she got a new weapon or learned/created a new Jutsu. AN un-involuntary shiver slid down their spines. "Let's hurry and get there, we never know what that boy will do unsupervised." Hokage spoke in amusement, more interested than worried, as he picked up the pace, the other two doing the same. It was after a few minutes of sprinting they finally came upon the training ground only to have a massive metal spike shoot up from underneath the earth towards them. The three older men didn't even put effort into rolling out its path.
"Aww… I'm so sorry Jiji!" They heard a young boy's voice cry out.
Looking at the boy Hiruzen was stunned, his grandson looked more like his father now when he was that age. His hair was still the same, the only difference being his golden tresses bled crimson Red at the tips. He stood about five feet and four inches.
The first to speak was Kakashi, but in his usual way. "Hey there Naruto-kun, I like the new hair style." The one eyed man greeted, his eye taking on its eye smile form.
Jiraiya and Hiruzen were more interested in the metallic spike sticking out of the soil. Analyzing the metal spike the Hokage spoke as he leaned in to take a closer look while rubbing his hand over the ruff subsaint. "Naruto-Kun, how did you make a metal spike come from the ground?" He was interested to see if this is the power of the sage.
The blonds eyes' sparkled. "How about this youngen tell you how to do it for yourself, I've already proven one old man wrong today. I don't mind adding three more to the list."
Hiruzen looked skeptical, but decided to give it a try anyway. Nodding to the boy, he gestured to him to explain. Naruto smiled at his jiji for not blowing him off. "Okay, jiji you just need to do the seals of Doton: Doryuusou Earthen Rising Spears, when you're done with that make sure that the Doton chakra is molded right then steadily pool it into your most dominant foot. At this point you need to condense your chakra as much as you can then slightly stamp your foot and release the condensed chakra and do the rest as you would normally.
The Hokage nodded, in his old age he had more of a fine tuned chakra control so the majority of the steps were easy, but condensing the Doton chakra was slightly more difficult. Once he condensed it enough he could he stamped his foot as he aimed his sights toward the spike that Naruto formed to only stair in shock as an even shinier metal spear punctured the blonds previous one.
The three older men looked befuddled, then Jiraiya spoke. "Hey kid, how'd you figure it out? Many people have tried and failed for years now." amazed at the feat.
Naruto stared at the gamma-sannin for a long moment, making the man feel uncomfortable. The analyzing gaze reminded him so much of his former student. That very same gaze Faded into are you stupid look. Sighing in exasperation, the blond explained. "It's just simple science, most minerals and metals are formed in the earth by time and pressure. So if you take that into consideration it would be possible for a shinobi to form a metallic substance by adding pressure to the Doton chakra."
Hiruzen was proud, his grandson was a genius. To figure out how to use a sub elemental chakra nature without needing a bloodline, shaking his head that could wait. "Naruto-kun we heard that there was a beast chasing a boy in orange, would you know anything about this?" The old fire shadow questioned already knowing the boy would have an answer.
Jumping up and down the boy was excited for or about something. The three older men chuckled at the boy's excitement. "Jiji, I did it! I did it! Come look!" The energetic boy explained while dragging his grandfather. He led them behind a group of large trees to an army of 50 blonds carving meat and bone from the fallen beast. "What you were told Jiji was somewhat true, yes in a sense I was running from the Anjanath. I had some kage bunshin playing the role of injured prey to lead it here, closer to the village so I didn't have to carry the massive thing back then I remembered I had spare level four sealing scrolls so I sent a bunshin to get them from my apartment."
Jiraiya and Kakashi were greatly surprised that the young boy in front of them was able to slay an Anjanath at his age. "Hey kid, how'd you manage to slay this thing?" the Gamma-sannin questioned, truly amazing of his ability to do so.
The blond boy looked at him for a long moment then spoke, his eyes' turning red after he sniffed the air. Naruto's red slitted eyes' glowed with a malicious light. "Ningen… you have some nerve coming back after all these years. you finally decided to return?" a deep and sinister voice came from Naruto's mouth as the blond leaned his back against the beast's gouged head.
The three older men looked horrified at hearing the deeper undertone, but one understood quickly. Bowing, Hiruzen spoke. "Awe Kurama-san, it's great to finally meet you."
Kurama looked at the old monkey with a thoughtful expression. "Sarutobi Hiruzen, you've been my favorite Hokage so far other than Minato. Crazy bastard came into Kushina-chan's seal a few time's to converse with me, I'm grateful that you have taken care of what's left of my family."
Jiraiya looked down right befuddled, Minato went into Kushina-chan's seal and talked to the kyuubi and nobody was none the wiser. "You mean Minato has talked to you before?"
Kurama rolled his eyes, in exasperation. "Yes Ningen, how do you think he created the rasengan? I gave him tips on how to mold and flow his chakra, but back to what I was getting to. Why are you here, I thought you were more interested in peeking or you living your fantasy of being with that whore." he paused then continued. "On another thought I can't call her that it would insult the nice women in the red-light district that helped keep the kit from hurting himself when he thought all was lost or when he was attacked by the hate filled villagers and shinobi. So I'll ask again why are you here?"
The white haired sage didn't have anything to say right off the bat but he couldn't be angry at what the fox said. He knew that the insult was appropriate and if he were to be honest with himself, in the darkest part of his heart the white haired man had more insults for his wife. "I originally came back to train Naruto because I believed that he was the child of prophecy, but when I came back I felt something off and it got worse when I got closer to Naruto or when I was talking about him."
Kurama looked at Jiraiya with an intense stare, which made him feel like he was under a microscope, his soul laying bare for the chakra beast to see. "I sense that you were recently under the Kotoamatsukami, a very nasty little sharingan genjutsu." The fox paused then continued. "I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now."
At that very moment Hiruzen's blood went cold, the implication he had during those events that had been stuck in his head for years now came rising to the surface of his mind. There was a pulse of pure concentrated chakra and killing intent poured over the area. Sensing it before it happened Kurama slammed his palm to the ground as a line of kanji sprawled out in eight different directions from where his palm landed. Reaching the distance of ten meters the ancient script changed direction as it started to curve forming a circle, from the center where his palm lay. The same ancient script shaped in the form of a concentric octagonal ring spun out toward the edge of the circle, as the corners of the first octagon made contact with the circle it locked in place opposite from the spread point and viceversa for each subsequent octagonal ring until it stopped in the center where a smaller circle formed as the eight spread points started to spiral inward. Activating the seal the smaller circle glowed a light blue with the rest glowing red.
"Uzumaki Fuinjutsu" Jigen rokku (Dimensional Lock) Kurama intoned.
Kakashi and Jiraiya weren't ready for such a presents to fall over themselves, dropping to their hands and knees gasping for breath, all they could see was their deaths. Bloody and brutal without quarder, Jiraiya, most definitely the strongest of his fellow sannin was choking on his own saliva while red from fighting the force of the potent ki. Kakashi was catatonic, the fear that his leader would be able to crush him as if he was an insignificant insect, not even worth his notice. while Kurama looked unaffected by the pressure. "That sniveling traitor! I'm going to kill him!" the Hokage roared enraged, his fingernails dug into the skin of his palm drawing blood. He was about to continue, until he felt a very powerful pulse of chakra come from the Kurama-fied Naruto.
"That's enough Hiruzen." The biju said, looking into the Sarutobis' eyes. "We have to play this right. Danzo is too strong politically, You need to finish wrestling all control back from those who misuse it." Kurama explained calmly, understanding the old monkey's feelings.
Hiruzen calmed his ki allowing Jiraiya to stand up immediately while it took kakashi a little longer wobbling to regain his balance. "Sensei what's wrong?" his student asked in concern, as he stared at him.
Clearing his throat, Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya. "I need you to finish placing those seals all over the village. I feel the need to remind a lot of people that this village is a dictatorship as well as showing them who the dictator is." he said coolly, the look on his face roared for blood .
Giving his sensei a nod in compliance, after learning what had happened to his godson while he was lost in lala land for the better part of 15 years, before Jiraiya could leave, someone spoke to get his attention. "Ningen?" Kurama called out. Jiraiya turned his gaze to the biju.
"Yeah? What's up?" the sage queried as his eyes met the crimson slitted eyes of the fox.
"Can you link Naruto's Chakra to the control interface for the seals you are setting up, so I can go through them and make adjustments where needed." Kurama asked, knowing that his knowledge of fuinjutsu is more extensive and if he was going to be honest with himself, he didn't trust the white haired sage at the moment so he decided to test him besides he had a theory about the white haired man.
Jiraiya didn't respond, but not in fear, rather he was in thought. "I don't feel any ill intent from Kyuubi, actually in fact it was quite the opposite. All I can feel is an attempt to trust?" The Gamma-sannin thought in Surprise, his eyes Widening just a bit in shock. Turning his line of sight to his sensei, making eye contact with the fire shadow. After a moment he returned his gaze to the Kurama-fied blond. "Yes, I will. By what I just saw by the way you formed that barrier seal, just a few minutes ago. You my sir are of higher prestige than i." the sage scratched the back of his head with a sheepish smile. "Like Kami man what was that, a level 16 seal haha."
Kurama smirked, his crimson eyes gleaming. "Oh, so you noticed? count me impressed i never thought you would see it."
Jiraiya gave the fox a blank look. "You out of everyone should know why? I was expecting you to call me out."
Kurama laughed like he was a good friend to the white haired man. "Ha, don't be surprised I smelled it when I switched with Naruto. so she ended up telling you those stories as fairy tales huh." The fox paused for a moment then continued. "I hope you get over your survivor's guilt soon, I don't want you to do to your grandson like what you did to your daughter, we are family right?"
Jiraiya grinnd then bowed. "As you say grand elder?"
This form of address confused the old kage along with the silver haired jonin. "Jiraiya-kun do you mind explaining?" Hiruzen questioned, a weary look sent to Jiraiya.
The white haired sage sighed in resignation, reaching into his hyori to pull out a scroll with the Uzumaki clan spiral with the senju clan centered in the middle. Looking into the kage's eyes he tossed it to the silver haired jonin. Kakashi, knowing what the action was for caught the scroll to check for traps, not seeing anything that would implicate foul play, he handed it off to his kage.
"There's a blood seal on it. How am I supposed to open it?" the old man stated coolly, Hiruzen knew how the Uzumaki referred to Kurama and what would happen to those who refer to the kyuubi as a mindless beast, then a memory came to his mind. "I should have let Roku-dono behead Danzo that one time, well that's a shame hindsight 20 20 i suppose." The Sarutobi reminisced aloud a wistful expression taking its place on his face.
Jiraiya sighed again. "It was meant for you to open, my father didn't want anyone but you and I to open it."
The Hokage hummed as he bit his thumb then wiped the life-giving liquid on the blood seal. "Hmmm, well lets see. Why didn't you tell me you knew who your father was, maybe we could of have found him…" the kage trailed off when he started to read the item in his hand. He looked up toward his student with an expression of astonishment. "How?"
Jiraiya trying to downplay the newly found information. "Well the same way other babies are born, plus I didn't feel comfortable telling anyone. I was lucky enough to have my aunty to help me cover my tracks."
The monkey summoner was now irritated. "You little bastard, I thought you were dead!" the old kage yelled!
Kakashi was confused but assumed it wasn't any of his business, so he looked at the stripped carcass of the Anjanath until one of the bunshin jumped up excitedly. With his enhanced hearing he could understand what the clone was saying. "Oi guys look at this! the bunshin called out to his brethren. "Yeah what's up? What do you got there?" one of the others asked, curiosity evident in his tone. "Use that ability that boss got from the gamer system."
"Hmm that gamer system again, I wonder how it works? Maybe Naruto-kun will tell me eventually." the silver haired jonin pondered.
"That's fucking awesome dattabayo!" he heard from where the clones reside. "I know right, let's go show the boss, he's gonna love it!"
Kurama, hearing the bunshins speak, switched with Naruto as the bunshins came up to him. "Yo boss! Look at what we found!" the original blond heard, as he shook away the blurry vision.
Rubbing his eyes, Naruto responded. "Yeah I hear you guys give me a minute. After a short few seconds he blinked his eyes to see a red ball in his bunshins arms, its size could be compared to a watermelon from Kaze no Kuni.
"Kit that thing is radiating chakra." Kurama informed his host.
Gasping at his inner foxes words, he was about to use his ability on it until he heard his Jiji. "naruto-kun what is that in your hands?" the old Kage asked feeling the chakra coming from the orb.
Looking at his Jiji sheepishly. "I was about to check it out. The gamer system gave me an ability that gives me information about an item, person or monster." the blond informed his Jiji.
"Naruto-kun, I thought I told you not to mess with it until tomorrow?" The grandfather started to scold his grandson.
"But Jiji, I didn't have any choice in the matter." the young boy wined, a pout appearing on his face as he crossed his arms and looked away. "I promise I didn't mean to."
Hiruzen smiled at the boy. "It's okay Naruto, I forgive you, but I wish there was a way for you to show us. I really wanna know how the gamer system works."
"It's party time! The Gamer has completed their first quest. Since the gamer entered a dungeon without the gamer system being completely active, the system has compensated the gamer by unlocking the party system early."
"Would the gamer like to add Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hataki Kakashi, ??? Jiraiya to the party (Y / N)"
Naruto looked at the men in front of him, looking into each of their eyes then spoke. (Yes)
A few seconds later the three older men stepped back in surpris.
"Congrats! The gamer Uzumaki Naruto has chosen you to join his party! Would you like to join (Y / N)"
Each man had their own reaction to the blue transparent screen to appear in their line of sight. The Hokage had a giddy expression on his face, Kakashi had a bewildered look in his only visible eye, Jiraiya was the funniest; he kept poking it and drawing his hand back like it was gonna bite him. At the sight of white haired man's actions the blond started to snicker.
"Awe so this is what you see Naruto-kun?" Hiruzen asked his grandson. The Hokage had stars in his eyes as he looked at the options.
"Yep!" the whiskered cheeked blonde chirped. "It's cool isn't it!"
Kakashi was fascinated by the ability as his finger was scrolling through options. "This is interesting."
Jiraiya was done with his little act, he wanted to see if he could get his godson to laugh and he wasn't disappointed. The white haired sage found the ability interesting and wondered what it could do.
"Okay guys, I'm gonna use the ability." The youngest of them all called out, gaining the attention of all three."
"Observe." the boy intoned.
"Observe skill activated!"
"Chakra core level III: the Chakra core is an item that is found in chakra beasts. They can be used for many applications like a weapon that can use the attributes of the slain monster. Armor is another application that it can be used for, similar to the weapons the armor can gain attributes of the slain monster. The last application is the gamer absorbing the chakra core to gain levels and an expanded chakra pool.
The three older shinobi didn't have anything to say; they were just in awe.
Quest Complete! Snake chase Quest has been completed. The gamer Exp has increased by 90.81%
"Congratulations! You have leveled up From level 7 to Level 8. You have 24.82% Exp until next level."
"Hidden Quest 1 complete! Use Bunshin to distract the Acidic Titan bowa for a clean getaway."
"Reward full Exp gain accumulated by Bunshins when the last one disspells."
"Hidden Quest 2 complete! Use the shodais forest to lead the serpent away from the village."
"Reward Exp amount till next level."
"Congratulations! You have leveled up from level 8 to Level 9. You have 100.00% until next level."
"Hidden Quest 3 complete! Pissing off a queen. Steal an egg from the Rathian nest in the Shodais forest without being noticed."
"Reward Monster egg has been added to your inventory (Note bunshin and the original share the same inventory), taming option has been unlocked."
Not even wasting a second, Naruto used his mind and hand to move the other windows to the side. "Inventory!" the 13 year old boy practically squealed. While the three older men watch on in amusement and interest. After a moment or two a screen with tabs that had item icons, the first one was a Chest (All), a Sword (WEAPONS), a Helmet (ARMOR), a orb that resembles the chakra core surrounded by leafs (HERBS SPECIAL ITEMS), and the last one was what looks to be a Seal Tag (SEALS). Seeing a red exclamation point next to the herbs and special items icon, wondering what it meant the blond tapped it with his finger. The icon for the chest darkened as the herbs and special items got highlighted only for his eyes to see one singular item in the folder, tapping it a new screen popped up.
"You have obtained an egg from a Rathian nest, would you like to hatch the egg? (Y / N)?"
Raising his head to look into his Jiji's eyes, asking silently for permission, his eyes slowly morphing into the dreaded puppy eyes no jutsu. Hiruzen wasn't ready for his grandson to use that jutsu and fell pray immediately, he could never say no when his two grandsons were involved. Sighing, the duped grandfather nodded his head. "go on Naruto-kun. You've been asking me to, or how to get a fox companion for a while now."
Naruto couldn't contain himself, he was bouncing all over the clearing doing a little dance. "This is awesome Dattabayo!!" The three Older shinobi looked on with grins seeing the boy jump around in excitement.
Kurama himself was wondering if Naruto wanted to help him with a project in the future.
Calming down, the boy walked back toward the Older trio. "Okay, I'm calm now let's get this egg hatching!" The blond Shouted excitedly. Looking back at the screen with the (Y / N) and saying yes. Suddenly a poof of smoke appeared in between the four of them when it cleared there was the egg in all its glory.
"To tame a chakra beast from an egg the tamer must cut their palms and place them onto the egg and channel chakra into it. When it starts to glow one or more colors you can stop channeling chakra at anypoint in time, just be careful not to use too much chakra, it's more harmful to the tamer than the egg. There is a possible chance for the tamer to get twins or triplets! GOOD LUCK!"
Naruto Didn't even hesitate. "oi one of you guys grab my sword and cut my palms!" The blond menace shouted to his copies. Running up to him was a bunshin sword in hand, Raising his hands out in front of himself palms face up and nodded to his clone to go ahead. Nodding back copy took the sword using the Curved edge of the blade to cut into his palms. After the deed was done the original placed them onto the egg and channeled his chakra into it as it started to glow just a moment later, shining a bright pale silver and deep gold. "Wow, this is taking a lot of chakra." Naruto spoke aloud, in awe while he watched his (CP) meter dropped when it was about to hit 1000 he stopped flowing chakra and stepped away to see the egg stop glow and begin to move and wobble until two little snouts to pip out, one silver and the other gold. Seeing them pip Naruto rushed over to the egg to help them out of the shell so they don't start to scratch at each other to get out. After 5 minutes of removing pieces of the shell so he doesn't hurt them, sitting in front of him now was a chibi silver Rathalos and a chibi gold Rathian. They stared at Naruto and he stared back, then they blinked and woddled toward him only to start rubbing their heads against his legs. "I wonder if they need meat or milk to feed them? Do Rathian's even make milk?" Naruto asked nobody in particular.
Hearing the boy pondering aloud the professor jumped into action. "They're ready to eat meat when they hatch, so you should have plenty of food for them." The old kage spoke in his professor's voice.
Nodding To his Jiji's words the blond led the two hatchlings toward the Anjanath's corpse, reaching the carcass one of the blond bunshin that were stripping the meat off the bones walked up and gave his boss two decent sized meat chunks. Turning and kneeling down to the Level of the two very cute in his opinion chakra Beasts. Extending both hands each with a cut of meat to the little ones, the silver Rathalos had a rather calm personality and gently took the meat then devoured it, the gold Rathian on the other hand didn't have any issues with taking a finger or two as she bit down on the blonds hand. "Oi oi oi let go you cute little monster!" The blond shouted as he tried to shake her off. The other three occupants of the clearing started to laugh at the ridiculous scene that was playing out in front of them.
Finally liberating his hand from the jaw of the little golden menace. Giving his little attacker a half hearted glare. "Now that wasn't nice… Oh yeah? I haven't given you two names yet, hmm? Okay!" pointing at the gold Rathian. "Your name is going to be Nikko." then pointing at the Silver Rathalos "and your name will be Yuzuki" How do you two feel about them? Do you like your New names?"
The one now dubbed Nikko, the little two foot terror she was, let out a few chirps and growls animatedly in different patterns, as she stamped her little feet. Naruto stopped any other motion to stare at the young wyvern in awe. After a moment he gave one of his new companions a heart warming smile. "I'm glad you like it! Nikko, you and your brother Yuzuki here." Naruto pointed to the well mannered Yuzuki who was patiently waiting with his tail swaying to and fro. "You two are now part of my family." He paused, then rubbed the top of their heads.
While the blond was having fun with his new companions, the older three were having a conversation. "Well look at that, it seems like we have a new possible clan similar to the Inuzuka." The Hokage spoke, he never thought a day would come where a clan could tame chakra beasts.
"Yes, it's quite amazing." Kakashi said aloud to the other two. "I'd never guess Naruto-kun would have gotten twins and both of them being from higher breeds, that kid has some bullshit luck sometimes."
"Sometimes! Tsk. That boy has more luck than anyone else I know! When I set up a Casino in the red-light district Naruto-kun was considered a legend when it came to gambling." Hiruzen spoke, remembering some fun times he's had with the young boy and all the money he lost to said boy.
Looking between his godson and sensei the white haired man asked a question that would bring a legendary gambler to the spotlight. "How much did you lose?"
The old Sarutobi slumped his shoulders and mumbled something incoherently. "That damn gaki won 500,000 ryo from me as well as getting me to teach him and Konohamaru-kun the way of the bowstaff."
Hearing their leader's admittance of what he lost made the other two laugh until they felt a creepy aura. Wiping the tears from their eyes they saw the village's leader with a calm and eerie smile. "Just wait, that boy will do the same to you if you are not careful."
"Hey!! Jiji I'm almost done with packing up all the meat and bones, it's getting late and I wanna get home so I can get these two settled in."
"So you're telling us that you two are now engaged to Naruto-kun?" a feminine voice asked, the doubt could be heard in their voice.
Within a tavern located in the entertainment district that was conveniently in the red-light district, four out of the five ice queens of konoha were having a drink and catching up with each other as well as welcoming back a wayward friend.
"Argh! Yes! Niichan. Hokage-sama said he had marriage Contracts on hand for us because of our relationship with him." A familiar feminine voice tried to explain.
"Anko-chan's telling the truth Kurenai-san, Hokage-sama does have the contracts of our engagement to Naruto-kun!" A bubbly voice said excitedly.
The one now named Kurenai was glaring at the one that just spoke. "I thought you hated demons? So why are you so excited hmm…Tsubaki?" the hurt look she got from the one she questioned made her almost reconsider her words… almost.
"Wasn't that a little too fresh?" another voice sounded out, a little rough but still feminine.
"To be frank, no. She made Naruto-kun's past 7 years unbearable ever since she got with that asshole. Tell me Tsubaki how many tests did you alter, how many insults and barbs did you hit Naruto-kun with? How many attacks did you help orchestrate with Mizuki-teme? Have you ever seen the aftermath of what that poor boy went through? I know I'm the one that accidentally pushed you away but I'd never thought you would turn out like you did."Kurenai was on a roll, she didn't like tearing her friend turned acquaintance down, but she wanted to see if she just jumped ship when it was convenient.
Tsubaki wasn't saying anything, she couldn't trust her own voice. Tears cascaded down her beautiful face as she kept her eyes locked with the genjutsu user, biting her lip as she spoke. "Yes… I've seen the aftermath, i-i used to revel in his despair a lot more than I ever should have. When Mizuki fed me his fake story I believed it without question I really just wanted someone to love me, but each time I saw Naruto-kun an unexplainable hatred came over me, I believed that he was the cause for my and Mizuki-teme pain and sadness. So I ignored him, shunned him, Humiliated him and he still gave me a warm Smile, but the sadness In his eyes would get to me and when I'd get home Mizuki-teme would ask if I made the demon suffer. I would nod and go to bed to only dream of everyone leaving me behind all used up and tossed to the side. The only one that stayed by me was Naruto-kun, but all he asked while with me was the same thing: was it worth it?"
Kurani scoffed. "So You do know how he felt, And enjoyed every little bit of his suffering. How cruel the boy that pulled you from the darkness and gave you friends, love and a place to belong, and this is what he gets in return. A washed up woman who couldn't tell she was being used and now that the rose tinted glasses have been removed you all of a sudden things change and fall in love with him again. How long is it going to last now, are you gonna wait till another shows up that hates Naruto-kun and break his heart again hmm?" The red-eyed beauty wasn't pulling any punches, the other two watched as the genjutsu mistress was tearing the other women down; they didn't want to get in the middle of it. Kurenai is close to the Hokage family with her dating Asuma the Sandaime's son which is little Kono's along with Naruto's uncle, and she loved her three boys.
Tsubaki looked down right Murderous, she knew that she didn't really deserve this second chance, but the insinuation of her leaving Naruto-kun to the wolf's again really made her blood boil. She hasn't yet come to terms with her deeds committed to harm the one she loves. "Maybe I should use my Keki genkai, yes yes that would work. Soon Naruto-kun, I'll be yours forever and we'll rebuild your clan together." Shaking her head, she made eye contact with the red eyed woman. "I've decided to do the ritual with Naruto-kun tonight."
"What?" Was the unified response from the ones present.
"You mean that…"
"Yes, Hana-san, I'm going to activate my Keki genkai tonight with Naru-kun. I made my choice earlier Today during the interrogation. I was appalled by that bugs' existence and what he did to me and made me believe. I can't believe I let him touch me, let alone spread my legs for him." The semi blond said saddened, her first time wasn't with her Naruto-kun and that made her pissed off.
"Before Anko-chan and I left the I T department, I made a stop at Yamanaka-sans office to get my Psychological tests to see my condition after the forced conditioning was spotted. He informed me that it was so poorly done that it can't be removed…" the women trailed off not wanting to continue, Anko seeing her face started laughing.
"Are you not going to finish the story?" questioned the snake summoner "Or are you embarrassed by what happened or the predicament you're in now?"
"Anko-chan!! I told you not to say anything about that!! And plus there's nothing wrong with what I said earlier and it's true anyway!" Tsubaki yells, embarrassed that she heard her little slip up earlier.
Anko looked like she just won a year's worth of Dango. "But Tsubaki-chan I thought you wanted to ride Naru-" the snake mistress was halted by Tsubaki's hands covering her mouth. A bright Red blush coloring her face.
"Stop" the semi blond hissed.
"You gotta tell them, so they know what to expect, or people will do or say something stupid." Anko retorted, she knew Tsubaki didn't have any issues with what the forced conditioning did to her in the end.
Taking in a breath Tsubaki closed her eyes, then exhaled. "It's an odd subject." She began "but it has to do with the forced mental conditioning that Mizuki had me subjected to while I slept, nasty little seal tags. It was quite an intricate seal, a multi-layered mind enslavement seal but it was poorly done, but back to what I was saying beforehand. So with the forced mental conditioning along with a partial activation of my bloodline limit earlier I'm a… well" she paused while making sure to make eye contact with everyone at the table, then continued. "im umm well, it made me completely devoted to him now, my heart, my mind, my body, my soul. I am his and his alone." Tsubaki had a love struck look on her face, most likely thinking of our blond protagonist.
Kurenai didn't have anything to come back with, and with her being genjustu user she knew how the mind worked and if what Tsubaki said is true they had nothing to worry about. Her own mind will fight against any other thought that doesn't include, help or center around Naruto. "Well… that's interesting I've never seen this happen before?"
Tsubaki was drawn from her thoughts of a very Intimate night with her Naruto-kun. "Huh…" was the intelligent Response, while she wiped blood that was leaking from her nose as pink stained her cheeks.
The Genjustu mistress sighed. "Never mind, I'm just worried for Naruto-Kun. Things are changing. I can feel it, I just don't know if it's good or not."
"Worry not Kurenai-chan, it's a good change." a new feminine voice joined the group. They all looked up to see Yugao, their other purple haired beauty. "Hokage-sama just wrestled back a lot of power today, by killing off the council and arresting two out of the three elders." she said, taking a seat next to Tsubaki.
Wap!
"Ow! That hurt!" An indignant cry came from the semi blond. "What was that for Yugao-nii!" She whined rubbing a lump on her head.
Looking at her friend sternly. "That was for being dumb, as well as for making me worry about you." the purple-et scolded her friend as if she was a child.
Looking down, Tsubaki mumbled. "I'm sorry nii-chan." feeling a hand rub her back she looked to see a loving smile on Yugao's face.
"it's okay, we got you back and now we can have fun like we used to do." she said, trying to cheer her friend up. "Oh by the way did you hear Naruto-kun got himself into trouble again."
The first to bite was Tsubaki. "No? Is he okay? What happened?" she asked, her eyes showing worry.
"Haha he's fine, apparently he was spotted running from a Anjanath earlier. I'm not worried though he's a rank 4 hunter, he'd probably be chewed out by Hokage-sama later after he distributes the meat from it after he kills it." the purple haired beauty said while wondering if she should go on hunts with the boy now that his brother isn't here.
"What do you mean he's a rank 4 hunter, I've never heard of this. I thought you can't be a hunter until you reach genin?" questioned the semi blond, she has missed so much and it's starting to show.
The table went quiet and nobody wanted to be the one to her the reason why he became a hunter so young. "He became a hunter a month after you basically told him you hated him by being cold." Well, one didn't have any issues with rubbing Tsubaki's nose into the dirt.
Silence fell over the table again with three wondering if their friend was on her period.
"oh" was the somber response that came from the mostly raven'et until they were dragged from their thoughts by a familiar voice but it sounded deeper.
"Jiji I'm telling you they're here this is where they go, even if Kurenai-nii doesn't like where it's located plus everyone here keeps a perverts in line around here."
"Naruto-Kun. I understand that but why do some of the men give you a weary look?"
"Oh, that's because I castrated a few that couldn't take no for an answer."
Hearing That almost every female in the general area cheered.
"So you're the cause for a few dickless shinobi?" a lazy drawl asked.
"Yup!" A cheery voice said back.
"Haha, Naruto-kun I respect you for defending the women, but let my shinobi keep their Genitalia." a wiser voice sounded back.
"They'll keep their genitalia if they keep it to themselves."
"Fair enough." the other two agreed.
"Argh, Nikko becareful your talents are digging into my shoulder."
Some chirps and growls followed before their booth's door slid open.
"Hey there girls, I knew you'd be here."
The women saw their favorite blond enter the booth with the Hokage and Kakashi in tow, but what caught their attention was on his shoulder. Two chibi wyverns were on his shoulders, a gold and silver one.
Hana being the expert in wildlife was enthralled, but the most common thought was Kawaii!!
"Do you lady's mind if we join you?" the blond asked his signicher foxy grinn splitting his face.
All five of them smiled. "Of course not come in. It's great to see you, Naruto-kun and the same to you Hokage-sama and Kakashi-san."
"Thank you ladies." The Hokage bowed along with Naruto.
After taking their seats Hana asked the question all on their minds. "Naruto-Kun, who are your little friends?" she asked, stars in her eyes as she looked at the two chibi wyverns on his shoulders.
"Oh how rude of me, this is Nikko and Yuzuki." he introduced the two respectively. "go on you two, go say hi." he said to the two.
The two flapped their little wings to get down to the top of the table and walked to the middle and bowed. the girls couldn't contain it, it was too cute.
Tsubaki wanted to pet them but didn't want to spook them, the two little wyverns on the other hand woddled over to her which greatly Surprised her. They started to sniff her after a moment they started to Nozzle her face. The mostly raven'et had a silent surprised expression on her face when the hatchlings started to be affectionate.
Hana looked at Naruto with a serious Expression, "Naruto-Kun, where did you find them?"
"Oh that… one of my bunshins found a Rathian nest with an egg so he grabbed it in the shodai's forest when I had to lead some sort of giant snake away from the village, so I did what any Shinobi would do worth their salt. If you can't fight something, trick the damn thing and run like hell. So I made like 500 kage bunshin and dipped." the blond mentioned shamelessly, waving his hand dismissively.
That made the girls giggle uncontrollably, at the fact it's mostly true but almost all shinobi are too prideful to admit it. Hiruzen chuckled softly, he himself understood the concept of running like hell when faced with something completely superior to yourself. Kakashi just nodded in agreement. The constant flow of giggles slowed when the women ran out of air in their lungs. Weezing the first to speak was Kurenai. "Naruto-Kun, Hehe, you always find yourself in very interesting situations at times. I feel bad for your future wife's."
Naruto not seeing Tsubaki and Anko Blush a brilliant scarlet red as he had an expression of thought on his face. "Kurama-nii says the same thing."
All the girls looked interested, Naruto doesn't give people that honorific easily so that made them curious. "Who's this Kurama you're talking about, I don't think I've met someone with that name."
Naruto looked nervous then squash it immediately. "Uzumaki Naruto doesn't have anything to be nervous about Dattebayo!" He roared in his head, while Kurama was hyping him up from inside the seal.
With a foxy smile Naruto began. "Well you see the last few times he was here, he got caught or was under a powerful genjutsu." He paused for a moment and placed his hand on the floor as an ancient script spread around the room from six different points and then converged to the center of the ceiling forming a circle with the uzumaki crest. As the crest glowed light blue the rest of the script glowed purple.
"Uzumaki Fuinjutsu: Roku ten'nohashira. (six Heavenly pillars)" Naruto intoned, looking at the baffled looks of the women in the room. "What? Do I have something on my face?" he asked with a tilt of his head as the Hokage looked amused.
"Naruto-kun it seems to me that you haven't told the lovely ladies here that you knew fuinjutsu." the old man informed the clueless blond.
Turning his head to the women of the room, giving him an expective look. Scratching the back of his head with a nervous smile the blond looked to the side away from the girls while raising his hands to head level shook them. "surprise!" he said halfheartedly.
Tsubaki and Anko were amazed, they had never seen someone use that high of a seal with just their chakra, and the execution was badass. Kurenai was proud of her little blond nephew, he had gotten far in his studies, she remembered when the sandaime asked her through her boyfriend to teach him calligraphy and to think he would come this far to just use his chakra to form a seal. Yugao knew her little brother was skilled in seals but didn't expect him to just slap down a level 6 seal just like that. Hana was confused, she heard from her brother that Naruto couldn't stay still so him learning fuinjutsu was a surprise.
'Awe Naruto-kun, I see that you integrated a chakra absorbent seal. What are you using it for? I don't see what it's attached to." the old Kage asked, his grandson has came up with many different seals, but he truly shines when he works with multi-layered seals.
Pointing his finger at another kanji up at the ceiling. "Look right there Jiji, that seal is attached to the chakra absorbent seal, that one is a chakra condenser which forces the built up chakra to be denser and more potent. So when I release the sealed space everyone inside will have their chakra recharged."
Hiruzen was shocked and that could be seen on his face, as he stared bug eyed at the boy. "Naruto-kun what do you mean, when you deactivate this barrier everyone's chakra will be recharged. I've never seen or heard of a chakra barrier that can do that and do it safely?"
Naruto looked confused, until the relation made it's on to his face. "Oh Jiji, this is the seal, Konomaru and I were trying to tell you about like a month ago, also don't worry about it, we are all 100% safe…there's only a slight side effect."
"What!" was the collective response, until Hiruzen regained his composure. "Naruto-kun, what are these side effects, are they harmful to the user or the other occupants."
"No it's not harmful, all it does is recharges all occupants' chakra reserves and the side effects are more of a benefit. With the chakra absorbent seal it absorbs the ambient chakra that people expel unconsciously and feeds about 4% to the barrier part of the seal to keep it active, and the remaining 96% to the condenser and if anyone wants to look, on everyone's stomach will be a seal with the kanji of vitality."
"Why does it appear on the stomach, isn't that an odd spot for it?" was Hana's question, hearing the blond speak about seals was interesting, and surprising.
"Yeah, what does the seal do!?" Tsubaki was the next to speak her mind, she had stars in her eyes. She hoped that he would teacher how to do the same.
Naruto looked more fired up than before, seeing Tsubaki getting excited about his seal. Channeling his inner professor, he took a mock teaching pose which made the girls to giggle. "Well you see the seal is for the chakra recharge and for why its on the stomach is because that's where the chakra Hibachi is located in the human body, and where our physical energy (yang-chakra) and our spiritual energy (yin-chakra) combine to make normal chakra. So by having the seal appear on the stomach is so its easier to transfer the chakra from barriers' storge to the occupants without any harm done, once the barrier is dispelled the chakra built up will flow back into the people inside the barrier and the side effect is during the recharge phase. I have the barrier set to fill the body up to its max amount it can hold, so with the influx of chakra entering the body it expands the chakra coils so by extension chakra reserves."
All occupants of the room looked at the young blond boy in astonishment, Hiruzen was going through the thought of just taking the blond as an apprentice and decided on the original plan. Hiruzen wanted the blond to hurry so he could tell the boy the good news, as well as getting him to know his true lineage.
"Hey kit, I have an idea, use my chakra to form a kage bunshin and I'll see if i can take it over." Kurama asked for his container, which Naruto nodded.
"Hey jiji, Kurama-nii has an idea." the blond said trying to get them all out their shock, seeing that everyone doesn't have that glossy look in their eyes' the blond formed the cross hand seal.
Hiruzen understood quickly and nodded his head, this will speed up the process so he can share this information that the boy deserved to know. Naruto seeing his jiji nod his head smiled a genuine smile that no one seen for years, flowing Kurama's chakra and focusing it into the seal for the kage bunshin, in a poof of chakra smoke an 18 year old version of Naruto with many differences, instead of blond hair this Naruto had blood red hair and the striking blue eyes were replaced with piercing crimson slitted eyes. The whisker marks were the same place on the cheeks, but they were darker and deeper. He stood at 180 cm clothed in the same garb as the Yondaime.
"Yo" the older Naruto said when the smoke cleared. Looking around the room to see that everyone was shocked, they knew what chakra Naruto just used.
"Sup" kakashi said in response to Kurama, while Hiruzen nodded to Kurama in greeting.
"Kurama-nii!" was all everyone heard the blond boy exclamed while spear tackling the Kurama-fied bunshin into a hug, with the rest looking on in amusement at the young blond hugging the older redhead while said redhead was trying to peel the blond off of him.
Tsubaki and Anko were surprised at the sight of the older version of Naruto when he appeared, but after looking at the older version for a moment then turned they're gaze to the thirteen year old blond that was now a whole nine inches taller, his facial features have become sharper and defined and with hearts in their eyes' the two daydreamed of the blonde in front of them. Meanwhile Yugao, Kurenai, and Hana were grabbing any napkins from the table to stop the blood from leaking from their nose, they didn't expect Naruto to make a redheaded version of the Yondaime with his whisker marks.
"Kami! I didn't expect him to make an even hotter version of the fourth…" were the thoughts of Yugao before she trailed off, and looked at Naruto, who was finally peeled off of the older version of himself then to Tsubaki and Anko, whom were drooling at the sight of Naruto. "Lucky bitches!"
"Oh Kami! Oh Kami! He's so hot!! I even feel the need to submit. I haven't come across a male that has made me feel like this before." were the thoughts of Hana, as she tried to keep her hormones in check.
Kurenai composed herself quickly, after seeing this older version of Naruto and how much they both resemble the Yondaime. Quickly looking toward her future father In-law to see he was looking at her while holding his index finger to his lips and she assumed her face gave away her realization. "Thats just fucked up!"
