Chapter 5: Ring of Ascendance: Street Fight In Wave
A Konoha Chunin can be seen knocked to the floor by one Naruto Uzumaki who is fighting a 20 man and woman kumite. As Hiruzen wanted proof of Naruto's fighting ability actually being at high chunin to nearly jonin level as stated by Kurenai's mission report.
Neko for her part wanted to see if his skill in weapons top tier are thinks of setting up a meeting with her younger cousin as she watches Naruto take apart the chunin in question.
Naruto decided to use his skills in Karate to outfight each chunin in question with the final chunin being a Sarutobi who Naruto secretly recognizes as one of his attackers.
The two go back and forth until Naruto uses the three swords technique to open up his guard and stun him as he then follows up with a hopping spinning side kick knocking him on the ground and winning the kumite with minor injuries.
"Impressively done Naruto, your fighting ability is most interesting. Keep up the good work" said Hiruzen as deeply he is secretly planning to reduce to blonde to where he can control him.
"Yes Naruto kun you have shown superb fighting skills" said Neko as under the mask she nods.
"Thank you Neko san. I only seek to achieve excellence in my skills and training as a ninja." said Naruto as he smiles at the cat mask Anbu.
"Well, I better get going, I'm late for a date" said Naruto as he goes towards Ino's home the Yamanaka flower shop.
At said Flowershop
Ino is getting ready for her date with Naruto for the night she can't believe that she is going on a date with the most mysterious boy in Konoha, a boy in some other version of herself wouldn't have feelings for.
Ino walks downstairs in a violet dress wearing high heel sandals she is greeted by her father and mother who looks at her with interest. "Where are you off to pumpkin?" asked Ino's mother as she looks at her daughter in question.
"I am going on a date tonight daddy I won't be long" said Ino as Inoichi look at her with a serious look.
"Oh, and who is this boy" asked Inoichi, curious as to who she is dating.
"Well, you could meet him as he is coming to pick me up right about (Chimes from their shop can be heard) now" said Ino as she and her parents go to meet Ino's boyfriend and to the Yamanaka parent's surprise it's Naruto Uzumaki who is well dressed for such a date. Inoichi looks at Naruto closely and sees the dead-on resemblance to his friend the 4th Hokage Minato Namikaze due to Naruto's fading whisker marks revealing his face to look like his fallen friend.
'He's looking just like the Yondaime Hokage in life. Boy this is troubling to explain' thought Inoichi as he looks at Naruto in question.
"Hello Inoichi sama, I am here to ask if I could date your daughter" asked Naruto as he looks at him with a stoic but well-mannered expression as he hands his wife a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
"Oh thank you Naruto kun for these wonderful flowers. I will get these flowers some water." said Inoki as she gets a vase.
"Hmm I will allow you for you already know of my reputation in T&I don't you" said Inoichi as he makes sure that Naruto while he is a jinchuriki, he still needs to be careful around the genjutsu prowess of the Yamanaka clan head. So, Naruto nodded in clear understanding at Inoichi's words.
"Okay you two have fun on your date. Just no funny stuff Ino has a mission with her team tomorrow" said Inoichi reminding Ino of the C rank mission she has tomorrow with her team.
The duo walk off into the night towards a restaurant. "So, Naruto, how was your mission" asked Ino curious of her date in question.
"Well, me and my team where dealing with the second most dangerous organization on the planet. Called the Reddoraion. Apparently, the mission was an A rank mission instead of a C rank" said Naruto as Ino is shocked by her date and his team being on a mission that has him face chunin level ninja's.
"So how did you come out of that mission okay" asked Ino curious of her date's survival.
"Well, my skill and Shino's bugs had completed the mission. Kurenai's importance on critical recon made it important, Hinata's knowledge of herbs I only did what was natural. But moving on what about you Ino what have you been doing when I was gone from Konoha." asked Naruto as he looks at his date next to him.
"Well, I had gone on a C rank mission that had us catching smugglers of rare animals. One animal in particular reminded me of you" said Ino as she looks at her fellow blonde in question.
"Oh, and what animal is that" asked a curious Naruto as he looks at his date.
"Well, a lion dog" said Ino as she looks at her fellow blonde as they made it inside of the recently new restaurant.
"Excuse me sir, I would like a table for me and my date" asked Naruto to the waiter.
"Yes of course sir. right this way" said the waiter as he guides the couple inside of the restaurant. Naruto is receiving hate filled looks as he walks with Ino. One person looks on and says. "N-Naruto" which gets the attention of the blonde who looks to see Hinata who is walking in with Choji.
"Wow you two look like a great couple" said Naruto as Choji smiles at Naruto as he fist bumps with him.
"You bet. I see you and Ino are dating" said Choji as the blonde duo blush. They each sit at a table across from each other.
"So, when did you two start dating" asked Naruto as he looks at the two in question.
"Well, it was the day after you kindly let me know of your kind feelings towards me as a loved one rather than a love interest. When I was going to the cinnamon shop, I had bumped into Choji here who also have a love for cinnamon just like mine. We started to talk and here we are" explained Hinata as she lays her head next to Choji.
"So Naruto, how did you and Ino meet." asked Choji as he wonder how his two friends meet.
"Well, I was following Naruto after he came from your home Hinata. Because I was curious of this mysterious boy, he seemed different from the other boys. He seemed calm and collected like and Aubrame and more energetic than a Nara. When I thought I was still following him he caught me and ask me questions about why I was following him. I let him know the reason and asked me on this date so we can know each other better" said Ino as she touches the blonde's hands and to her surprise, they are extremely well calloused.
"Wow Naruto what have you been doing to have your hands so calloused" asking Ino as she feels his hands are so calloused and strong.
"Well, it's primarily due to my martial arts training as I had put myself through extensive training that has a curriculum in fighting arts such as wrestling, close quarters combat and well brawling and street fighting techniques on top of gymnastics and weightlifting" said Naruto as all three look at him with a that says how well trained are you.
"Well let's eat I'm starved" said Naruto as his friends order their food.
Minutes after their food arrives but before Naruto could get a man walking past him spits in his sushi.
"Excuse me sir you spit in my Sushi" said Naruto in a calm but irritated tone.
"Yeah, I did what are you going to do, demon." said the man in a cocky tone.
"I would suggest you pay for my food due to this insult" said Naruto as the man chuckles as he and his friends walk up.
"Are you going to make me" said the man as Naruto takes off his jacket and rolls up the sleeve.
"Let's take this outside" said Naruto the men walkout to the back as to not make a scene in the restaurant.
"Hmm those are Takimaru and the Tough boy's gang. I wonder how they got in here" said Choji as he, Hinata and Ino follow the group outside.
Naruto's POV
Naruto rolls his shoulders as he gets ready for a fight as his friends walk out to see the brawl.
"Choji do something these are Chunin level fighters Naruto doesn't have a chance he is outnumbered" said Ino as she looks at Naruto with worry as Choji says something that shocks her.
"Actually, it seems even" said Choji as he stares on to the battle.
The leader charges up to end the fight quickly only to be hit in his chin with a counter to his haymaker as Naruto follows up with a knee strike to his chin. Naruto proceeds to kick him away.
Two more try to attack him with knives but Naruto expertly evades them with ease as he sets up a devastating counter in wrist lock on both that is followed up with 3 tap-tap-kicks to one of them and a spinning side kick to the other man to his chin the second to last member attacks with a hanbo which Naruto disarms of and uses to beat him unconscious.
Naruto drops the Hanbo to see he's holding two batons in his hands as Naruto grabs a nearby pole and uses it as quarterstaff as he defends against the baton user and disarms him with his skills with a staff and knocks him out with a round house kick.
Naruto walks over to the leader to get 65 Ryo from his wallet and puts said wallet back.
'Wow how did he do all of that. He's using moves that the Academy hasn't taught us' thought Ino as he walks back.
"Well gang lets head back in the night is still beautiful" said Naruto as they all agree as Choji thinks back to how the blonde fought.
'Incredible he's greatly improved sense the academy. But ah I see he held back his skill and passed middle ground. I must say he knows how to handle himself extremely well in street fighting. His footwork and timing are superb and his ability to handle weapons are top notch. It looks like I need to keep pace with my friend if I can help it' thought Choji as he makes plans for a future training goal.
The group ate after Naruto got some more sushi and went their separate ways. Walking down the road Naruto runs into Takimaro and more of his tough boys.
"What do you want Takimaru?" said Naruto as he looks at the man and his group in question.
"Where not done until we get our pound of flesh."Takimaro as he stands aside and lets a man with crimson red hair walk forward as he throws off his jacket and gets into a boxing stance. Naruto does the same as the two square off after Ino stepped to the side.
Naruto and the boxer trade punches with both expertly slipping and weaving each punch from the other. Naruto finds himself in a incredible street style boxing match as the man seems to equal if not surpass him as a boxer only managing to keep up with his greater skill.
'Hmm the man seems to be a better boxer than I am I need to rectify that if I want to succeed in this world' thought Naruto as he soon faints weakness and causes the boxer to drop his guard for Naruto to swiftly knock him out with 5 hard punches when the boxer went in on the attack.
Takimaru and his boys are about to jump Naruto until all of the gang is caught in a shadow possession jutsu by Shikamaru's father Shukaku.
"Shadow possession complete." said Shukaku as walks up to Naruto along with Choza and Inoichi who walks up with his daughter.
"I must say you took care of yourself and my daughter well" said Inoichi as he looks at the blonde in question.
"I'll say you showed yourself a very proficient fighter Taijutsu wise and your skill in weapons surprises us with how you seamlessly disarmed Takimaru's boys without much issue and devastated them" said Choza as all three look at Naruto who smiles at the compliments.
'Wow he does look like Minato but how is' Shukaku just realize who his parentage is as Inoichi walks up to him.
"Good for you Naruto you stood up for yourself and showed your not one to be pushed around. Not only that you showed that your qualified for being with my daughter by showing her a night out of town despite your situation. While Ino couldn't defend herself you showed your able to stand your ground for her sake" said Inoichi as Naruto smiles in modesty.
"Well, I only did what any person would have done for those he or she cares about" said Naruto in modesty as Inoichi smiles.
"Well, I think Ino would like to tell you something" said Inoichi as Ino walks forward and kisses him on the cheek.
"Thank you Naruto kun for this adventurous night" said Ino as she smiles at Naruto as the groups head home as the Tough boys gang is hauled to jail.
Naruto walking home thinks 'Looks like I have to train some more' as he heads home unaware of his hidden guardian watching.
'That boy is a rising star in and out of combat. Hopefully he will reach his potential.' thought the elder as he looks onto the boy with a great destiny.
Naruto walks inside of his home locking the door. Going towards the cube he begins to solve the puzzle cube for the third time. Naruto soon has a beam of light go into his head.
Inside of the Cube of Thunder and Wind
Naruto walks in the dimensional space we he is meet by Kenichi and Miu.
"Hey Kenichi sensei Hi Miu sensei" greeted Naruto as he smiles. As the couple smile back at Naruto.
"Welcome back Naruto it's been a while" said Kenichi as he looks at the blonde with joy.
"Look at you Naruto, you have grown sense our last meeting" said Miu as she looks at the golden blonde in question.
"Thanks, Miu sensei. So, Kenichi sensei what does this ring pertains to exactly" said Naruto as Kenichi smiles as 7 figures walks up to them. One is a golden blonde-haired woman of a stature and dress wear similar to an amazon with dress ware akin to that of Boris's Spetsnaz uniform but for female officers The second person is a man with dress wear similar to Rakesh only with white pants and matching white bracers holding what appears to be a knuckle duster of sorts. The Third person is a man who appears to have a karate uniform like Kenichi's only with forearm length gi and matching white pants wearing cestus like gloves. The Fourth Person is a woman with red hair of similar build to the first wearing a gi with black trimmings that hugs her bust firmly and pants that matches her gi. The fifth is a tan skinned man with white hair wearing a black jacket and cargo pants with black boots that seems to be metal tipped. The Sixth is a man with blonde hair in dress wear similar to the fifth man.
"Naruto your will be trained in the more advanced martial arts of the Harmonic ring." said Kenichi as the soldier woman steps forward. "Hello Naruto, I am Natasha Dragonuv. I will be teaching you in Systema." introduced Natasha as she looks at the blonde in question.
"I am Rohan Rege I will be teaching you the art of Vajra Musti" introduced Rohan as he bows.

"Let your advanced training begin" said Kenichi as Naruto roars with excitement as his teachers join him.
Training Montage Rocky IV
Natasha for the next 3 months teaches Naruto in the Systema. From Barehanded fighting, Grappling and bladed/stick combat. Naruto had excelled as he pushed himself hard in the arctic winter Fire Country had experienced for the first time while he went camping for the session. Natasha also taught him how to tolerate pain even better than before and improved his mental focus.
Rohan for 2 months had extensively trained Naruto in Vajra Mushti a form of wrestling where free fighting was a main style of is curriculum as Naruto learned combat techniques with and without the battle born knuckle duster as Naruto used it to battle rogue leaf ninja trying to kill him during the spring. Rohan had pushed Naruto's strength and will to new heights
Tajima taught Naruto for 5 weeks in Daido Juku Kudo as the martial art shares roots with boxing, Kyokushin karate, pankration, wrestling, and judo. Naruto learned how to incorporate his striking and grappling skills together in his unarmed fighting abilities. Tajima enhanced Naruto's bone density to new levels durability with his iron body training.
From Rose he learned the dynamic movements of Tang Soo Do that leverages his speed, strength and agility better than before for 7 weeks.

All of this while Naruto also absorbed a great deal of their combat philosophies into his own combat knowledge and techniques as many of his street fights shows his evolution as street gangs and assassins are getting the crap kicked out of them in the street in the forest or in one of the parks he's run into.
Theme end.
At the moment Naruto is at Ino's home at 6 am in the morning. Ino had also been training with her boyfriend in what he knows while she had trained more extensively in her clan arts, she knows that she would be a liability on the battlefield. So, she had talked to her boyfriend about his training wanting to train with him due to how physically capable he is and to say he had warned her parents that she would be completely exhausted due to the hellish training didn't which didn't sit right with Inoichi as he wanted to observe the blonde's training for himself.
Naruto walks inside of the flower shop as Ino in workout clothes greets him as Inoichi also in workout clothes walks behind Ino.
"So, Naruto kun what will we be doing today, might I ask" asked Ino, curious about her fellow blonde.
"Well, I was thinking you could use the spider monkey and then standard weightlifting to build your strength and flexibility" said Naruto as Inoichi looks at Naruto with a puzzle.
"This I got to see" said Inoichi as he walks with Ino and Naruto to his home, which surprises both Ino and her father at the size on the inside as they see the workout area.
"Incredible this looks like a well-equipped dojo rolled inside of a gym and home' thought Inoichi as he looks at Naruto as he introduces Ino to the Spider Monkey.
"Okay Ino I will start you off with the resistance of 100 lbs-500 lbs this machine will improve your flexibility. Your weightlifting will be 150 lbs to 400lb with 250 reps with each weight. While alternating from the Spider Monkey. During which I would be giving you some extensive lessons in Tang Soo Do, Francombat and Kickboxing to help with your Taijutsu" said Naruto as Ino looks at her boyfriend with shock at his workout plan for her. Inoichi is impressed but slightly worried with the type of workout.
"Naruto is it really necessary for her to do 250 reps? It is hard for a girl to do. Pulse what" said Inoichi as Naruto as replies with a knowledgeable statement.
"It's important for her body to have power and flexibility for a kunoichi would have to move with the elegance of crane and hit with the power of a bolt of lightning. This workout would develop those important qualities." said Naruto as he then demonstrates his statement by performs the splits showcasing his own flexibility in his own body, greatly shocking them both at the level of flexibility Naruto has. As he then performs a masterful floor routine that makes even the acrobatics of some monks Inoichi knows look pale in comparison.
"Flexibility is key for all movement with it be high speed or fluid it's the key behind both speed and agility. As well as the key behind the power behind any fighter whether they be ninja, samurai, mercenary, fighting monk, warrior philosopher and martial artist. Flexibility is what makes and breaks all of them." said Naruto as he finishes his routine and going back into the splits.
"Okay I am convinced, Let's do it" said Ino as she looks at her boyfriend with a motivated look.
"Excellent Ino-hime when we're done, you'll be among the best of the Kunoichi in Konoha." said Naruto as he smiles at Ino with a great purpose behind it that spells adventure for the platinum blonde.
In the Akimichi clan compound.
Choza and his son had been training extensively in their clan's arts. Showing great skills in Yuma a form of war wrestling that match good use of an Akimichi's incredible natural strength and surprising reflexes on the battle.
Choji is training with several of his clansmen in the clan's version of Yuma. Choji blocks a punch from one of them and counters with an open palm uppercut and leg sweeps him and performs a Supplex on a charging clan member.
"Remember Choji bare handed fighting is the bread and butter of the Akimichi clan as well as the Inuzuka and Hyuga clans. While they may have speed and agility, we have strength and reflex on ours." Said Choza as Choji places the last member in a chokehold as he taps out.
"Thanks Tajima, Toshi and Ryu, I really appreciate you guys helping me practice," said Choji as he helps each of them up.
"No sweat it Choji, happy to help" said one member as he looks at the Akimichi clan heir with a smile.
"So Choji is dating the clan heiress of the Hyuga clan." asked the other in the group.
"Very good she and I have a lot in common when it comes to food, virtue and the drive to improve our respective clans." said Choji as he thinks about what his girlfriend told him.
"Well, that's nice to hear Choji." said Choza as he smiles at his son with joy.
"Yes and it's all thanks to Naruto after all he helped motivate me in training harder and help train Hinata in flexibility." said Choji as he blushes slightly as he had seen Hinata's highly tone legs and thighs under the baggy clothing when they were in the springs together during couples' night.
'Thanks, Naruto, for everything' thought Choji as he goes to shower.
Near the Country of Wave
Kakashi Hatake and team are battling one Zabuza Momochi in a brutal battle for the fate of the old man Tazuna the bridge builder. Kakashi had been freed from the missing nin's water prison jutsu by Sasuke and Sai. Right now Kakashi has Zabuza on the ropes until he is hit with Senbon in the back of his neck seemingly killing him.
"Thank you for softening him up. I will take the body with me to dispose of it" said the masked hunter nin who picks it up and disappears.
"Okay it would seem that we would need some back up." said Sai as he makes a note to send to the Hokage with the status of their situation and makes an ink bird to send it back to Konoha.
Back with Naruto.
Ino is currently sparring with Naruto using the Kickboxing, Francombat and Tang Soo Do skills he had taught her. Ino for her part had developed even further than her normal clan training as her figure had become akin to that of a super model and elite female athlete Inoichi and his wife are shocked at the change to Ino's build and figure. Ino throws a roundhouse kick at Naruto who avoids it with ease and uses a scissors takedown on her.
"Wow Ino you've gotten good these past 5 weeks." said Naruto as he helps up his girlfriend who proceeds to kiss him.
Breaking the Kiss. "All thanks to your training darling" said Ino in a hotty voice as she giggles.
"Okay you two practice over comes on young lady you have a mission with your team it's your second C rank mission." said Inoichi as he smiles at the two's closeness and fondness of one another.
"Okay daddy I am coming." said Ino as she locks lips with Naruto a final time as she goes to leave.
"Thank you Naruto your methods at first where insane but now look at my baby girl she has blossomed into a beautiful young girl and kunoichi I hope your training will help her on missions." said Inoichi as he looks at the blonde in question.
"It will Inoichi sama it will" said Naruto as he smiles a hopeful smile at the blonde father who feels hopeful by the blonde's words with a great sense to them.
Inside of the Hokage Tower
Hiruzen is finishing paperwork when he sees an ink bird belonging to Sai holding a note. Hiruzen takes the note and soon the ink bird dissolves.
He reads it and smirks as he sees another way to break Kurenai's spirit.
"Anbu!" shouted Hiruzen as 4 Anbu lands in front of him.
"Yes Hokage sama" asked Neko looking at her leader.
"Bring me team 8 we have a situation in Wave that needs their skills" said Hiruzen as he smirks that he has a way to kill Kurenai using the missing nin Zabuza.
He smirks as they went to gather team 8.
Bloodsport intro theme
In the Aburame clan compound
Shino was practicing his pugilism skills. As he is practicing his drills he hears a knock on the door. Walking he sees Boar on his doorstep. "Shino Aburame you're needed by the Hokage" said Boar as Shino nodded as he gets his jacket to go to meet his team.
In the Hyuga Compound
Hinata is matching Hyuga Tenji in Gentle fist much to the dismay of the elder council. As she manages to use a faint on the older Hyuga and masterfully bests him.
Hinata helps Tenji up who begrudgingly admits defeat. Soon a knock on the door is heard as Taka walks in.
"Hinata Hyuga, your team is needed by the Hokage." said Taka as Hinata nods and goes to get her items.
With Kurenai
Kurenai is training in the taijutsu of Crimson Lotus, a brutal but effective form of Taijutsu that involves unpredictable and perfected movement to overcome speedy foes.
"Kurenai Yuhi your team is needed" said Owl as Kurenai looks at the owl masked Anbu in question as she nods and gets her equipment.
With Naruto
Naruto is eating some freshly caught fish while surrounded by half dead or beaten to death assassins hired by the council. Soon Neko looks around to see the carnage of the battle site as she then walks up and says. "Naruto kun your team is needed by the Hokage" said Neko in a sisterly manner.
"Thanks, Neko Nii chan" said Naruto as he hands her some fried finish and leaves.
'Wow he is getting very good at fighting. I have never seen this number of assassins beaten to death by one genin' thought Neko as she leaves the half dead and dead bodies for the animals of the forest.
Inside of the Hokage office.
Team 8 each arrives to the office with Naruto wearing some clothes for travel for multiple terrains.
"You wanted to see us Hokage sama" asked Kurenai as she looks at the aged leader with a questioning look.
"Yes it would appear that Team 7 is in trouble and in need of reinforcements in Wave Country. I would have sent another team, but the other teams are busy with C rank missions and seeing your team completing an A rank mission on your first go I figured you would be better suited seeing as you have some experience in A rank assignment" said Hiruzen as nods in understanding.
"Okay team we are going to back up team 7 so be sure to pack what you can. Naruto you know what to pack" said Kurenai as she knows her student will help them see the mission complete.
The team goes towards their respective homes to prepare for the mission in wave.
'Okay I had seen a brochure of wave when I was little and see that it is mainly urban terrain so I should have the equipment about street fighting. I might need to adopt a more street style approach' thought Naruto as he gets the needed weapons and equipment for said mission going out to meet his teammates after locking the door.
"So, Naruto, do you have the equipment we need?" asked Kurenai as she looks at the blonde in question.
"Sure, thing Kurenai sensei. I had also seen the country's layout from an old brochure. The equipment is perfect for this mission" said Naruto reassuring his sensei and teammates.
"Okay let's move, team" said Kurenai as they rush towards Wave.
Theme End. Timeskip 1 and a half later
Sasuke is growling as he is seeing the one person he doesn't like in the world. Naruto Uzumaki standing next to his sensei. 'Why is the dope here. I can handle this mission, not him.' thought Sasuke as he not only remembers the day, he was beaten by the blonde but also remember what his father had said.
"Remember Sasuke the Uchiha is number one in the world no one is better than an Uchiha no one. You take what you want and do what you want" said Fugaku in Sasuke's memory of his father as he looks at the blonde with anger.
"So Kakashi what is the status of the mission?" asked Kurenai as Naruto goes to set up the small armory in the hallway near the guest rooms of the home.
"Pretty well Tazuna's bridge is at 45% of completion. I just need to recover in time before Zabuza so we can engage him" said Kakashi as Sasuke walks over towards Naruto.
"Hey dope what are you doing?" asked Sasuke in the manner of emo king.
"Setting up a temporary armory for the mission" said Naruto as he soon finishes. Getting out the scroll for the weapons Naruto unseals them to reveal 6 pairs of tanto and combat knives, nunchaku, butterfly swords, and gloves with a unique design to them along with some kunai, explosives and shuriken.
"Naruto, what are these weapons?" asked Kurenai as she and everyone looks at Naruto in question.
"Well Kurenai sensei I had heard about wave being more of a port like city, so I opted to go for more street fighting style weapons that you see before you." said Naruto as Hinata looks over at the gloves picking two up she finds that these two have sand like padding along the knuckles with solid padding on the fingers.
"Ah Naruto what weapons are these gloves" asked Hinata as she looks at Naruto in question who smirks.
"Well, Hinata I had read up on a particular street fighting weapon called sap gloves. These particular gloves are similar to brass knuckle as being a fist load weapon only with a wider focus radius in impact area. I had modified these to incorporate to help with pressure points or in your cause Hinata the use of Juuken" explained Naruto as Hinata tries on the gloves and feels the weight of the gloves.
"Oh try some sending some chakra into your gloves" said Naruto as Hinata does so and soon the gloves lights up seeing a sight as the gloves have blunt spiked knuckles on and have claw like chakra projections on the fingertips.
"Wow Naruto you really out did yourself with these gloves." said Hinata as Kurenai goes to look at the knives to see twin sword like daggers with a D shape half prong guard. "Naruto what are these?" asked Kurenai as she looks at Naruto who smirks.
"Oh those are some butterfly swords they are capable of trapping an enemy sword or staff. I figured that some of our opponents would be sword wielding opponents and that these weapons would be perfect for this mission." answered Naruto as Kurenai takes them and twirls them around. Feeling that they function similar to the Sai only more of a slashing weapon than a stabbing one.
Shino picks up a pair of tonfa, sap gloves and a double-edged dagger. Naruto works on schematics for a special item in his arsenal.
Kurenai proceeds to give out roles. Hinata and Sakura is on medic duty due to her skills in herbal medicine, Shino and Sasuke on lookout duty, Naruto and Sai on combat reconnaissance.
Naruto's POV
Naruto and Sai are moving through the city in their own unique ways. Sai in the sky with an Ink bird, Naruto on the ground is using his skills in parkour and gymnastics to move around the city. stealthy as he looks at the people starving. Looking with sadness at the situation the blonde keeps moving to see a tower where mercenaries are stockpiling food in a type of refrigerator of sorts.
Naruto for his part takes a picture of the tower and what's inside. He moves away unnoticed. Moving through the city, Naruto soon sees a woman being dragged to an alleyway. Naruto looks in shock as the men rips off her clothing leaving her in her undergarments.
"Come on baby, you'll like being with me and the boys. We'll treats you special" said one of the men as they unzip their pants. Before anything could happen. Naruto proceeds to leap from the rooftop on to the men. Naruto using his more street style approach brutal mauls the men and makes sure they don't report back to base.
Naruto uppercuts a man into a dumpster cracking his neck and leaving him for dead. 'Better get back' thought Naruto as he hides the other bodies with some help from Shadow clones.
Fast Forward 20 minutes later.
Naruto and Sai had relayed what they found in the village. Naruto relayed that the Mercenaries are keeping a large food supply inside of a tower in town.
At the moment everyone is eating dinner. Sasuke and Sakura had gained skills in water and tree walking. Kakashi tried to use this as a flex when Kurenai points out that Naruto, Hinata and Shino can do so as well and are more advanced than what Kakashi taught.
"Why do you bother?" asked the boy as he looks at the ninja in question.
"Bother what" asked Hinata as she looks at the boy in question.
"Why do you bother training? Gato is too strong he is invincible he will kill you all" said the boy as the woman known as Tsunami stands up and says in a scolding tone" Inari" "Tell me Inari can you answer this question. Who is more dangerous the fighter who practices 1000 techniques 1 time or a fighter who practices 1 technique 1000 times." asked Naruto as Inari looks confused as Naruto answers for him.
"It is the fighter who practices 1 technique 1000 times. For you see Inari this fighter knows one technique better than a fighter who practices 1000 techniques at one time. Gato is the man who may have 1000 techniques, but he doesn't know them. That's where he can be beaten for he only knows his men are bullies not skilled fighters. So, I will prove it to you" said Naruto as he goes to change into a different outfit.
Coming back Naruto is decked out in an outfit that is comprised of a dark grey short sleeve shirt under a tactical harness with similarly dark grey cargo pants, black combat boots with steel tipped boots. Naruto has on an all-black headband with the leaf symbol being on his dark belt buckle.
"You know what to do Naruto give them hell" said Kurenai as she knows that commanding Naruto is like fighting a giant wolverine.
"I will sensei thank, and Tsunami san thank you for the dinner" said Naruto as he bows to the woman with respect as he then walks out into the night.
"We is he going, we need him for the bridge builder" said Kakashi as Sasuke looks in anger at the blonde going off to fight the enemy.
"Why does he get to fight the enemy and Sasuke kun" said Sakura in an irate tone of voice as Kurenai clears her ears and explains.
"From out all the Genin here Naruto is arguably the most skilled fighter in the group coming close to possibly Kakashi in skill level." said Kurenai as she finishes her fired fish as Team 7 is shocked at the blonde being that skilled.
With Naruto
Naruto spots a group of mercenaries in the distance as he readies a hanbo to ambush them. As soon as one of them looked up he saw pain coming. As Naruto pounced on the man brutally battering him. The other mercenaries seeing these attacks with a brawler assault using his chosen weapon. Breaking bones, headbutting and smashing the foes into the surroundings. Naruto soon beats the last man with a flying slam that breaks his ribs rendering him in pain and a deeply critical state.
'One group down many more to go.' thought Naruto as makes 25 shadow clones.
"You know what to do" said Naruto to his clones as they all scatter to different directions.
Inside of Gato's fortress.
Zabuza is relaxing doing some light sword kata's and finishes with a masterful flourish. Soon a braze get's his attention as inside of the city Zabuza smells blood in the air and smiles at the feeling.
'Hmm so a new strength has entered the fray. I smell something that is strong but young.' thought Zabuza as he admires the blood moon in the sky.
The next day
Inari is walking the streets of Wave when he sees people form around the area town center. Coming up he sees Naruto standing over two brutalized mercenaries. 'People of wave Gato's tyranny is ending soon you will be free. But first you need a full stomach." said Naruto as his clones brings forward the food inside of the tower he had then liberated.
"Eat everyone elderly and children first no rushing" said Naruto as everyone slowly but surely gets something to eat as Naruto looks towards Inari and smiles. Last nights street fighting everyone was hearing was a result of Naruto's clones eliminating the mercenaries in question. Before long 30 mercenaries had come on the scene before they could get close Naruto leaps at them and gives them a savage beating. Naruto somersault kick that sends the last merc flying. Everyone ate and slowly regained their strength.
Naruto thankfully had put some chakra enhanced vitamins inside of the food so they could get back their lost strength.
Naruto senses that he is needed back at Tazuna's home so he goes to pick Inari and leaves 34 clones to guard the people.
Inside of Tazuna's house.
Team 7 was in awe as Naruto had defeated half of Gato's mercenary forces and liberated their food supply to the populus. Sasuke along with Sakura are looking at Naruto with envy and jealously as Kakashi internally is screaming in rage at the demon showing up his team.
"Well Naruto you did an amazing job go and get your rest for we'll be at the bridge." said Kurenai as Naruto nodded and heads up stairs. As Naruto goes inside of his room Tsunami about to walk down stairs sees Naruto's shirtless form and blushes as at how well developed and sculpted the blonde is as an athlete and ninja.
'Kami Kaiza never had that level of a build in a lifetime' thought Tsunami as she goes to make the ninja lunch.
Inside of the Mindscape.
Naruto using Polyphasic sleep he learned from Natasha
Naruto is chess with Kurama who is pick the game up incredibly well. "So Kurama, what have you discovered about the seal." asked Naruto as he takes a rook with a knight.
"Not much while I do know that the seal is made to siphon off my chakra. But from what I can tell It's slowing for some reason" said Kurama as he takes a knight with a Bishop and Naruto takes a Bishop with a Rook.
Naruto brainstorming on what could cause this until Naruto sensing malice and forceful lust on the outside Exit after beating Kurama with a check mate.
"Sonnova"
Outside of the mindscape
Naruto goes downstairs to see two of Gato's goons has Tsunami at sword point and one of them stalking towards Inari with sword poised to kill him. Naruto, thinking fast, throws a kunai at the man hitting him in his vital point incapacitating him. Naruto goes leaps down with two combat knives engages the ronin who saw him leap at him letting Tsunami hit the ground. Despite the Ronin's disadvantage briefly holds his own but is disarmed and knocked out as Naruto goes to tie him and the other man up. "Are you two alright" asked Naruto concerned for the two in question.
"Yes we are fine no thanks to your skill." said Tsunami as she is thankful of the blonde in front of her.
Naruto smells blood in the air as he goes get his shirt on.
"I need to head to the bridge. Don't worry you two won't be alone I will leave two shadow clones here to guard you and two guard the ronin here." said Naruto as he makes the shadow clones and heads towards the bridge.
At the Bridge
Hinata is battling Zabuza's partner Haku after Sai and Shino are defeated by said Girl with some difficulty. Zabuza had overpowered Kakashi and had a clone watch over him as Zabuza engages Kurenai in a fierce battle. Kurenai thankful of her student's influence, had been holding her ground with the more deadly mist swordsman. Kurenai for her part had taken damage due to Zabuza's sneak attacks. Luckily Zabuza decided to cancel the mist technique when he found Kakashi unconscious for it was him and Kurenai now.
Kurenai had also scored several glancing blows on the swordsmen, but the swordsmen was used to the punishment.
Before long however Hinata getting tired by the minute is about to be hit by senbon but is kawarimi way from the spot replaced by a familiar blonde who blocks the senbon with two trencheons at the same time.
"Naruto!" shouted Hinata with Joy as she is near Tazuna with Shino and Sakura with a shadow clone who gives her a chakra pill.
"Hmm Naruto that means maelstrom doesn't it" asked Haku as she looks at the boy in front of her with interest.
"Yes it does beautiful" said Naruto as Haku blushes at statement.
"Who do you know I am a girl and not a boy" questioned Haku as she looks at the blonde who remarks. "I can smell female scents in the air one is lavender, one is roses but from you I smell lilies." Haku blushes deeper as she then gets into a fighting stance.
"Well I must stop you for you are a threat to Master Zabuza's plan. To bad your cute" said Haku as Naruto smirks at the girl in question.
The two begin a spectacular battle of speed vs agility as Naruto using is acrobatics to dodge and keep pace with the raven-haired girl in question. Haku for her part is amazed at how agile and lumber the blonde is as she tries to hit him. Naruto seeing that Haku is slowing and the Ice is melting throws down a flash bomb blinding the girl in question.
Naruto tackles Haku through one of her demon ice mirrors. She is soon knocked out with a punch from the blonde. Naruto creates a shadow clone to restrain her as he goes to help Kurenai when she is about to be struck down. Naruto moving like a panther strikes Zabuza with a flying kick sending him flying.
"It's an honor to meet you Zabuza Momochi" said Naruto as he sees the swordsmen recover in midair to see the blonde who kicked him.
"Hmm so your the Gaki who defeated Tenya Nobunaga. I'm impressed and this will be good" said Zabuza as he gets into his sword stance while Naruto gets into his fighting stance.
Kurenai and Kakashi is helped when a Naruto freed Kakashi from the water clone. The two look towards Naruto with awe. Kakashi hopeful that the demon of the mist kills Naruto.
'Soon whore your son will die today' thought Kakashi as he sees Naruto getting ready to fight.
Naruto and Zabuza proceeds to clash in ferocious combat as Naruto is matching Zabuza in brute strength as they fight. Dual truncheon vs Guillotine sword as the two block and counter each other's blows.
"Incredible gaki you are good I have never faced a genin who can give me an incredible dance like you have." said Zabuza as he dodges a kick from Naruto and counters with low swing that Naruto dodges.
"Thanks, browless your not bad either" said Naruto as he lands a kick on Zabuza that he rolls with as he manages to slash Naruto but not deep enough. Kurenai and her other students are shocked by Naruto injury as steps back.
However, Naruto slowly heals. Returning the favor Naruto leaps and kicks Zabuza into the railing denting it.
Before they could continue a shout of "Lookie here so the demon of the mist is stopped by a kid with big sticks. I think he is compensating for something". Naruto and Zabuza turns to see the other half of Gato's mercenary force and Gato himself who appears to be a runt of a man.
"Gato what is this why are you here" demanded Zabuza as he gets the idea of what's going on.
"I'm terminating our contract. You missing nin are much too expensive to hire compared to these mercenaries." said Gato as he smirks as Naruto chuckles at the midget as everyone chuckles at him curiously.
This is War by Sick Puppies
"While I stand here listening to a short shit talk tough, I wonder how tough you are when they are all wasted" said Naruto as he triggers something that Shogo would be proud of. As soon his eyes turn red as he gets a slight increase in bulk. Zabuza is surprised at the blonde's building anger as if he's a savage beast.
"AAARRGGHH1" cried Naruto as he enter his berserker's rage. Leaping at the small horde of Mercenaries with dual truncheon as he smashes the force with a savage instinct. Kurenai, Zabuza, a Released Kakashi, Sakura, Hinata, Shino, an awake Sasuke and Shino all are watching the carnage as Naruto batters the remaining force with a ferocious drive.
Bones are breaking, teeth knocked out, men throw off the river, As Naruto attacks with the brutally afforded to his training in Pankration, Boxing, Kickboxing, Francombat and the Kitsukawa style of martial arts. Naruto tears Gato's small army apart.
"Wow look at him go, that kid is too ferocious and that's coming from me." said Zabuza as he looks at the carnage.
From the distance Elder Furinji is looking on with a smile. 'The boy is coming along nicely.' thought the elder as he sees Naruto break a man's back over his knee.
Naruto stalks towards Gato with bloodlust in his eye as he looks at the man who is shaking with complete fear in front of the blonde who had been smashed through his mercenary force with nothing but the two truncheon and his bare hands as the man looks at him with fear.
"Please, please I can give you-" Gato couldn't finish as Naruto knocks him out, breaking his noise and glasses. Naruto calms as he goes towards the others. "So Zabuza you want to go another round or do you want to give up on your contract" asked Naruto with his eyes still a glowing red.
"Nah Gaki you are now one of few people that I am royally scared of" said Zabuza as everyone is looking at Zabuza to admit he is afraid of a Genin of all things.
'Naruto you are a rising star.' thought Kurenai as she looks at Naruto in question as his eyes turn back azure, blue from crimson red.
'You are a unique one Naruto kun' thought Haku as she blushes at the kun suffix she thought.
