Chapter 8:
Tsunade Senju: Blood Ties To A Fist
In the council room there is a discussion on what's to happen. With Hiruzen now unable to continue service as a shinobi he is forced into an advisory role until a suitable replacement can be made. Danzo was a candidate, but Jiraiya suggested Tsunade Senju for the position due to her youth and connections to the Senju name.
Naruto for his part is promoted by the Daimyo himself for his outstanding service during the invasion attempt for defeating Gaara. He is here because of something that is very vexing to himself as a ninja.
"Chunin Naruto Uzumaki you have been called here to answer some questions about your ability you used in the fight with Toshin Oozaru." asked one Danzo Shimura as he wants to understand what ability the blonde has with this Kitsugawa style he heard the blonde use in his fight with Toshin.
"Well to answer your question I was using a martial art known as Kitsugawa style. The particulars to sum up is that it allows normal street fighter level combatants to compete with martial artists by opening limiters in the human body. Allowing for said street fighter to surpass his or her limits." said Naruto as their is chatter among the councils with the civilians being more in glee at the prospect of their precious Uchiha learning such fighting technique.
"We demand you to." "I am sorry but this is a military matter you have no say in these matters." said Naruto in calm tone as the civilians look at him as if he was crazy.
"We have all the say you demon we are the-" said man never got to finish as he was hit in the throat with a poisoned tip senbon.
"My apologies but he had broken Third's law pertaining to my predicament." said Naruto as the man soon falls face forward dead as Anbu takes his body away.
"Is it possible for others to achieve the use of this Kitsugawa style." asked Danzo as he is also wanting to see what could be learned from the blonde as the blonde seems to have an unreadable face.
"To answer your question sir. It wouldn't be possible for them to perform at a desired level as the Kitsugawa style requires a strict diet and workout routine that could possibly take years to achieve. It also requires the individual to have very honed fighting instincts. It would be ill advised for any performance enhancing drugs to substitute, for it would cause the person's use in Berserker Mode to be less effective and can very easily damage said person's body and it would require a deep well of rage from the individual for it to work effectively" said Naruto as he lets it be known that the Kitsugawa style has to be practiced at it's purest state or it would be ineffective for said individual..
"Well that's enough I need the boy for the trip to retrieve Tsunade hime back to the village. Go and get your gear for the trip." said Jiraiya as Naruto nods as he senses Sidious intent from the Sannin in question as he moves towards his home.
'Soon my weapon you will be back under my heel.' thought Hiruzen as he wheels himself out of the room.
With Naruto
Naruto is going towards him home when he sees Sasuke on the ground outside of his home unconscious due to a knockout dart from one of the traps inside his home.
"(sighs) The Uchiha just doesn't know how to train hard, do they Kurama" said Naruto telepathically to his tenet.
"Yes indeed they don't. So, what are you planning to do when that old pervert plans to get you alone so he could place those seals on you." asked Kurama as he is wondering what his container will do about the Toad Sannin.
"Don't worry I have a plan for that." said Naruto as he gets his new and improved optical cloak and gear for the mission. Hopefully I can get Tsunade in the village and gain an ally in his cousin clan.
With Ino
Ino with Tenten and Hinata at a shopping mall that was thankfully untouched by the invasion. The trio started to hang out with each other weeks after the invasion. Hinata had talked to them about how some of her clan was reevaluating their clan's Taijutsu training thanks to Naruto.
Tenten had also been working on some new equipment that would make her a better kunoichi than before.
Ino for her part had also been helping around her clan with different projects to looking into what her boyfriend is really capable of without the use of his Bijuu chakra.
"So girls, any plans for this week aside from cleaning up from the invasion." asked Ino as she looks at Hinata and Tenten.
"Well I was meaning to ask your boyfriend if he could train me in that Chinese kenpo he knows." said Tenten as Ino looks at her with a curious eye.
"So you want to know Chinese Kenpo from Naruto kun huh well I'm sure he will help you." said Ino as she looks at her friend in question.
"Yeah he did something I didn't know he could do as a ninja or a normal martial artist." said Tenten in a tone of admiration as Ino senses a type of attraction towards her boyfriend that Tenten is trying to hide in her words.
Ino for her part thinks back on Naruto's heritage and how he would fall under one law pertaining to clan restoration.
'Thank you, daddy, for that lesson on the CRA' thought Ino as she eats her Ice cream
With Naruto
Naruto for his part can be seen traveling with Jiraiya during the travels to find Tsunade. Naruto can sense the intents for Jiraiya's former master's plan while also going to having a shadow clone. At the moment 'Dammit this is getting annoying can't he focus on the mission at least once. The village needs it's Hokage. Focusing on me will only get the village into more hot water with the snake's nest stirring up.' thought Naruto as he looks at Jiraiya who has been writing his smut as Naruto is searching for Tsunade.
They soon stop at an Inn for the night, paying for separate rooms. Naruto for his part entered his and placed a double security seal on his window as he sets his items down and relaxes with some Tai chi exercises, he thinks on what to do about Jiraiya and his crippled master.
Naruto stops as he soon watches T.V.
'I hope Tsunade isn't like the villagers or Hiruzen and his other crazy students.' thought Naruto as he looks at a movie documentary about the secrets of the Shiva warriors.
A distance away from the hotel.
Itachi can be seen overlooking the Hotel with his partner Kisame Hoshigaki formerly of Mist.
"You know the kid is going to be trouble for us. I heard he has top notch combat skills to take on Nobunaga and win ." said Kisame as Itachi nods as he wants to see what Naruto has learned as a fighter and ninja.
'What have you learned Naruto I wonder.' thought Itachi as he thinks back to how Naruto had been beaten the crap out of rogue villages and hired assassins.
Back in Konoha.
Ino can be seen walking home towards her house when soon 4 IWA assassins pop out from the shadows.
"Time to die Namikaze whore but first me and the boys are going to have fun." said the lead assassin as he looks at Ino up and down with a leer at what they are about to do. But what the assassin didn't know is that she is more than looks as she gets into her fighting stance ready to fight.
The assassin's charges at her trying to overwhelm her so they could have their perverse fun. However, thanks to Naruto's extensive training in unarmed combat Ino does more than hold her own as she beats the assassins within an inch of their lives with her highly advanced martial arts skills that the assassins where unprepared for as Ino breaks the last one's leg and slams him headfirst into a brick wall.
'Wow these assassins are going to be really annoying.' thought Ino as she walks home to let her father know of what happened as the assassins pick themselves up and flee.
Back with Naruto
Naruto is relaxing on his bed communicating with his bijuu partner playing a gain of Uno. So far Kurama is getting his ass kicked in said game. As they are playing their 16th round Naruto feels a presence on the outside of his mindscape as he awakens after beating Kurama for the 16th round in a row.
"Sonofva" said Kurama as Naruto disappears from his mindscape.
Naruto hears knocking at the door and walking up to it he senses a familiar chakra signature as he opens it to see one Itachi Uchiha and next to him Kisame Hoshigake.
"Ah hello Itachi, how have you been." asked Naruto with a calm, stoic look. "Very well Naruto I have been hearing tales of your strength for quite a while. But I will wait for some other time. I have come to capture you for the Akatsuki. So will you come willingly or not." asked Itachi as he looks at the blonde in question.
"No thanks I like my life thank you." said Naruto as Kisame looks at the blonde with a smirk at being able to face someone a promising as Naruto.
"Well that answered your question. I might as well take off your arms and legs so we can take you back." said Kisame as Itachi nods as he steps out of the way.
"Well lets fight but first lets take this outside this is an inn afterall." said Naruto as he back flips out of the open window as Kisame follows.
Naruto lands on a rooftop as he senses Kisame coming at him with a low cleave trying to take his legs. Naruto however jumps over the swing and counters with a roundhouse kick as Kisame backs away. Naruto gets out a bo staff to face Kisame. Naruto contends with the strength of Kisame shunting away power blows from the more experienced swordsman as Kisame attacks relentlessly. Naruto sees an opening and knocks Kisame away with a push kick to his chest.
Itachi is surprised by the blonde's fighting ability to stand his ground with Kisame as Kisame goes on the attack again.
Naruto flips around Kisame evading sword swings that are damaging to the nearby building as Naruto defends himself incredibly well against the swordsman in question as Itachi leaps down next to Kisame.
"Incredible Naruto, you have done incredibly well to handle Kisame's strength. But lets see you handle yourself against the power of the Sharingan." said Itachi as he then flares his Sharingan as he proceeds to place Naruto in a powerful genjutsu.
Inside of the Genjutsu
Itachi is completely caught off guard by the blonde's mental defenses as Naruto attacks Itachi with astral weapons. Itachi finds himself facing an incredible challenge with the blonde jinchuriki as he faces a well-trained mind of a martial artist.
Soon Itachi is knocked back by Naruto as he banishes Itachi from his mindscape.
Outside of the Genjutsu
Itachi is panting as he looks at Naruto in awe at his martial skills both physical and mental. As he says. "Incredible Naruto, you haven't ceased to amaze me." as he looks at Naruto who is panting slightly slow than Itachi before the two could continue their capture attempt. They are soon blocked by Hayato Furinji as he looks at the two.
"Out of our way this is our fight." said Kisame as he wants to fight the blonde who was able to knock him back swiftly.
"Sorry I can't do that because my apprentice has a mission to complete. You two can play with him when he is done with it." said Hayato as Kisame charges at Hayato Furinji landing a swing and receiving monstrous tremors through his arms from hitting the six-foot-tall giant as he sees Itachi trying and falling to put the man in a genjutsu shocking the ravenette in question.
Itachi senses incredible power in the man in question as he simply disables Kisame with only a simple flick to his head.
"Remarkable." said Itachi as he looks at Hayato in wonder at the towering blonde as he senses an incredible well of power from him.
"Please be on your way, Itachi Uchiha as one day you and Naruto will meet again in a battle of epic proportions." said Hayato as Itachi had no choice but to agree and gathers his unconscious partner and leaves. Hayato turning towards Naruto as he bows his head in thanks for the interference.
"Thank you Furinji Sensei." said Naruto as he looks at the blonde in question.
"Think nothing of it Naruto now go and get your cousin she will be needing to know the treachery that has been going on in the village." said Hayato as he turns into a falcon and flies off.
Naruto returns to his hotel room to see Sasuke Uchiha, Might Guy and Jiraiya arriving on scene of the room to see that Naruto is fine.
"Naruto has the Akatsuki came by to find you." asked Might Guy as he looks at the blonde who is performing a Kata of Goju Ryu Karate.
"Yes but they had left after a discussion about Dichotomy how it can be applied in a number of situations." said Naruto as he looks at Gai, Sasuke and Jiraiya two of which is annoyed with Gai asking. "Oh what ways can Dichotomy be applied." "Ah I believe it involves how it can be used for organizational and individual efforts as well as with techniques whether they be combat related or relating to applications of quality in relation to group efforts" answered Naruto as Guy is interested in Dichotomy.
Hours later Might Guy had took Sasuke back to the village while Naruto and Jiraiya look for Tsunade in different towns. Naruto remembers something as he suggests searching for Tsunade at a bar or casino. The Casino's they checked but the bars is where they may find luck. They each checked individual bar until they turned up nothing. They decided to stop at diner to eat something when they soon see the target of their search. "Tsunade!" Said Jiraiya as Tsunade Senju a kunoichi known far and wide as a legendary Sannin staring at her old teammate Jiraiya of the Sannin. "Jiraiya!" said Tsunade as she sees a ghost right next to him. "Minato." said Tsunade as the two walk up to them.
"Oh no you must be confusing me for my father I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." said Naruto as Tsunade looks at Naruto with shock and awe at his appearance as her assistant Shizune looks at Naruto in awe at his appearance and his physique. Jiraiya is thinking 'Okay tonight I make my move, the weapon shouldn't have the recognition of being his son in the very least.'
The two sit down and have lunch together. Tsunade was told why they had came to find her. Tsunade is intrigued by Naruto's appearance as she had connected the dots on who his mother is.
"So let me get this straight, you want me back in Konoha to become the next fool to die or be crippled." asked Tsunade as Naruto took personal offense to that as he says "Watch it old woman my father died for that village with duty and honor." Tsunade slams her hands on the table as she looks at him and says. "Then your father is a fool." "At least he wasn't a coward living on the road instead of living up to a great legacy his family built" said Naruto as Tsunade scowls and says. "Outside kid." as the two go outside. With Shizune, Tonton and Jiraiya following the two as Naruto and Tsunade stands across from each other a Tsunade demonstrates her strength by destroying a wall.
Naruto retorts by saying. "Wall don't hit back." Tsunade seeing the cocky tone says. "Hey Gaki If I can bet I can beat you with only my pinky. If I can't, I'll go back with you and the pervert." "Sure I'll make it interesting by using my Aikido skills." said Naruto as Tsunade is interested by the blonde's proclamation of using a primarily Samurai martial art. As the two begins to fight.
Tsunade lunges first to try and end the fight only to find herself thrown aside by her younger counterpart, shocking Shizune and Jiraiya greatly as Tsunade gets up. Tsunade flips around the fight as Naruto dodges pinky jabs trying to pummel him. But he evades each one and sweeps Tsunade's legs from up under her. Tsunade tries to attack using her pinky but Naruto expertly dodges.
Shizune is amazed by Naruto's skill in being able to dodge attacks from her master with expert skill as Jiraiya looks with contemplation on his face on what to do.
Naruto thinks. 'Okay she is getting angry, better keep it this way so I can take care of the pervert.' as he dodges a pinky jab aimed for his head. Tsunade seeing red at being out fought by the younger blonde goes to strike at him when Naruto decisively attacks using a strike that wouldn't be seen as Naruto hip tosses Tsunade but not before grabbing something that would take care of Jiraiya temporarily.
Upon landing Tsunade stands back up when her kimono blouse comes open from a lack of her navy-blue obi being snatched from her person as Jiraiya is sent back from a massive nosebleed and the shock of seeing Tsunade's luscious breasts. As Tsunade charges at Naruto ready to beat Naruto into the ground when he soon catches Tsunade's fist and flips her on her stomach as Naruto pins her.
"Looks like you lost Tsunade. You weren't supposed to use your fists, only your pinky." Said Naruto as Tsunade curses herself at how the blonde outsmarted her as he then helps her up and hands her obi back to her. As he then throws a sleep dart into a recovering Jiraiya knocking him out and surprising the two.
"We need to talk about your former home." said Naruto as he looks at her with a serious gaze. Tsunade sees the seriousness in Naruto's form as she says "Come on it's a long night you can explain in my hotel room." Tsunade walks towards her hotel room.
Hours went by as Naruto explained the situation in Konoha. How the Sandaime had been manipulating mobs to try to attack him and brainwash him through various forms of torture and abuse. Naruto had to leave out the part of his training under a mystical and high-tech training cube as he didn't trust Tsunade just yet. Tsunade for her part looks very outraged at how the village has sunk so low in trying to turn her blonde godson into a killing machine and use him to their own ends.
"I don't know what to think. Hiruzen Sarutobi the father I never had has become a vicious tyrant trying to turn you into a killing machine so you can be a weapon of a village that hates and demeans you as nothing more than a slave." said Tsunade as she is thinking about what has been told to her as she feels hatred at her teammate's part in the plan.
"Tsunade I came a long way to find you. I know that the position of Hokage has killed your lover and killed your brother. But it's time for the old guard to be ousted and a new one in place. It's either you or Danzo and I would rather destroy the village then let that happen. You know of that man's ambitions. Dominance, Power and the Fascist desire of Leaf superiority and conquest. The fascist regime he would put the village under would be nightmarish to the world for he will abuse his power to some of the cruelest and grossest levels." said Naruto as Tsunade thinks on what has been told to her as she says.
"I will think about it." as Naruto nods as he leaves her hotel room.
"Lady Tsunade, what do you plan to do." asked Shizune as she looks at her master in question.
"What I need to do." said Tsunade as she goes to bed followed by Shizune and Tonton. As they sleep on what Tsunade will do.
'Lady Tsunade, I hope you do the right thing.' thought Shizune as she thinks about the blonde in question and blushes.
With Naruto
Naruto walks into his room so he can rest when Jiraiya leap at him from behind. Jiraiya and Naruto wrestle for a bit but thanks to the blonde's honed skills in the grappling arts manages to win and place a paralysis seal on him.
"Dam it you won't get away with this freak your property of the Leaf, we are your masters." said Jiraiya as Naruto kicks him in the mouth knocking some teeth out.
"Hopefully Tsunade will quell your plans before then especially with what I have planned." said Naruto as he knocks Jiraiya out and take Jiraiya to his room as he then goes back to his own and goes to sleep.
Timeskip the next day
Naruto can be seen along with Jiraiya and Shizune looking at Tsunade as she is standing in the middle of herself with the Konoha Group and Orochimaru and his group.
"So Tsunade are you going with us or Orochi pedo over there." asked Naruto as Orochimaru growls at Naruto's jab at his sexual orientation.
Tsunade makes a choice through one action. A punch to Orochimaru's face decides it as a battle begins steadily. Kabuto is faced by Naruto and Shizune. While Shizune holds her own against the white haired medic she is unable to keep up with him or Naruto as she is disabled with a well-placed chakra infused scalpel to her tendon in her leg. Leaving Naruto alone to face Kabuto.
"You have no shot, Uzumaki I have gone toe to toe with Kakashi Hatake." said Kabuto as Naruto then responds with both a rushing elbow and a retort. "Yeah, well I am not Kakashi I am Naruto Uzumaki the Taijitu of the Martial Arts." Naruto then counters an wide swing with a somersault kick that knocks Kabuto to the ground. Surprising him as Jiraiya and Tsunade battle Orochimaru in combat. Soon the Snake Sage and his protege link back up in defensive stance.
"Impressive Tsunade hime you still got it. I am most impressed with you too Naruto kun to be able to stand your ground with Kabuto here is no small feat. I should have gone all out against you and your berserker mode. Hopefully you won't survive this." said Orochimaru as he looks towards Kabuto who nods and performs his hands signs for a summoning jutsu. Summoning the boss snake Manda. Tsunade and Jiraiya do the same for their boss summons respectively. As the boss summon for the slugs Lady Katsuyu appears in all of her glory. Jiraiya summons Gamabunta who stares at Jiraiya and then stares at Naruto and senses something vastly different from him.
"Jiraiya, did you get this brat to sign the summoning contract already." asked Gamabunta as he looks at Naruto who scowls at Jiraiya and the Toad himself as Jiraiya replies. "No he will after some convincing." "Not in your life asshat. I already have contract with some animal summons." said Naruto as he performs handsigns as he then summons to the shock of Gamabunta, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Shizune, Tonton, Orochimaru and Kabuto, in front of them a large temple dog that dwarfs Gamabunta by several meters.
"Greetings Naruto how are you doing so far in your training." asked the massive dog.
"Very well Dawa but I believe this isn't a good time for chatter I and my allies have an enemy in Orochimaru and the snake boss Manda in front of you that we must battle." said Naruto as the now named Dawa looks at Orochimaru and Manda who is looking at the powerful mountain dog in question with looks of worry on Orochimaru and looks or rather feeling of pride as Manda the speaks.
"Ah a pathetic excuse of a summoning for temple guardian dogs you are nothing but a nuisance to the great snake clan." said Manda as Dawa looks at Manda with a stoically cold look of strength as he retorts. "Hmm it would appear that the Snake boss hasn't learned his history within his own clan. Well no matter what, I will surely teach it to you." as Manda lunges at Dawa biting into him and soon screeching out in pain as he releases and opens up his mouth to revealed his fangs broken.
"What the hell." said Gamabunta as Katsuyu is shocked and surprised by the giant temple dog's fur as it didn't even budge to Manda's fangs.
"Oh I see that we have started well let me finish." said Dawa as he grabs Manda by his tail and swings him around like a whip slamming him into the ground multiple times as Katsuyu and Gamabunta are shocked by the brute strength Dawa has displayed as Manda is throw to the side like he was nothing. Manda for his part felt like hell after what Dawa put him through.
"What's wrong snake boss not so high and might now." said Dawa as he looks at the roughed up form of Manda as the snake boss tries to lunge at Dawa only to be smacked down by a paw from Dawa. Manda for the first time in his life feels fear as he looks at the temple dog in question as he sees no other options but to flee leaving Orochimaru and Kabuto at the mercy of Naruto as he looks at the two.
"Well Naruto kun this is nothing but a big streak of luck for you." said Orochimaru as he looks at Naruto in question.
"Well that's sure is a lot of ego despite the ass whooping you were given." remarked Naruto as Orochimaru scowls at the blonde as he then shoots the Kusanagi in a surprise attack at Naruto who manages to catch it with his bare hands shocking the three sannin as Naruto throws it back at Orochimaru causing him to flip backwards to avoid his own sword as Orochimaru looks at Naruto with anger as Kabuto says to his master. "Lord Orochimaru, we must retreat, we are outmatched." Orochimaru scowls as he knows it has to be done as Kabuto is nearly out of chakra.
As Naruto looks at Orochimaru with no fear as Orochimaru says "You are lucky Uzumaki Namikaze when we meet next I will show you the power I will gain." "Is that a promise or is that just tough talk? I don't know which it is. But I will still kick your ass" retorted Naruto as Orochimaru scowls as he then Shunshins away from the area.
"Well Gaki you sure have some guts to stand up to Orochimaru and show your grit to your future Hokage." said Tsunade as she smiles at her godson as does Shizune as Naruto smiles as he turns toward Gamabunta and Jiraiya.
"To bad you didn't get your shot at glory. There is always next time." said Naruto as he shots Jiraiya the bird as Gamabunta begrudgingly returns to Mount Myoboku as Jiraiya scowls at him as he lands looking him in the eyes as he then turns away with a scowl as he begins to walk away toward the Hotel.
Naruto walks alongside Tsunade, Tonton and Shizune who walks towards the Hotel. He has a watcher in the form of Hayato Furinji.
'Excellent Naruto you have shown strength and courage in the face of a powerful foe. But your training is only half done soon. You will need to take the training of the Warrior Spirit ring for you to be truly complete to the point that even the most powerful shinobi will test your courage and skill.' thought Hayato as he transforms into his lion dog state and goes back to the mountain dog summons domain.
Timeskip 4 days later.
The Konoha group returned to Konoha. Tsunade was made the 6th Hokage by the Daimyo. Tsunade's first order of business was to do a check up on all Konoha Shinobi and the first was Naruto himself.
At the moment. Tsunade is looking over the readings the Yamanaka clan specialists had given them.
'Incredible his physical output is off the charts. He could perform extreme combat despite being in an animalistic state. Yet I have yet to see this Berserker Mode that the Yamanaka's are talking about.' thought Tsunade as she and Shizune looks at the readings also wanting to see said state in combat.
Tsunade sees Naruto outfitted by Ino and a Yamanaka mind specialist with more advanced reading equipment that while heavier doesn't impede Naruto's movements in the slightest.
"Okay Naruto I would like to see this Kitsugawa style in action with it's berserker mode." said Tsunade as Naruto nods as Tsunade activates more advanced test drones in that the Anbu had developed.
Naruto soon goes into his Berserker Mode as he leaps at the drones savagely tearing apart the drones with a ferocious charge.
"Good Lord look at him go Lady Tsunade." said Shizune as she looks at Naruto attacking the drones with a savage force as he demolishes them with incredible strength and ferocity. Soon Naruto stops as he sees the drones either crushed or ripped apart.
"Yes the level of savagery is unprecedented for a minted Chunin." said Tsunade as she looks at the readings from Naruto to see that they are higher than the ones before. As Naruto stops and looks around himself.
"Well Gaki I can honestly say you are in superb health and fighting condition. Your mental state is extraordinary despite your rather barbaric state of mind when using that berserker mode." said Tsunade as she looks at the young Namikaze in question.
As Naruto gets his clothes on Shizune can't help but admire his eyes as he looks to have a cool gaze to them.
'What are you, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze? Your strong, very skilled and your driven by what makes you so special.' thought Shizune as she looks at Naruto getting his clothes back on as she admires the muscle he has developed for his age group.
In another part of the village.
Hiruzen is scowling, somehow his supposed weapon has become well aware of his tricks to brainwashing attempts and how Jiraiya has been outmaneuvered by the blonde jinchuriki.
"So, what can we do about this brat. He will see us coming and he is too skilled to take head on." asked Jiraiya as he remembers how Naruto defeated someone comparable to Kakashi Hatake in direct combat.
"Simply Jiraiya we go after his status as a ninja. We somehow have to get him banished so we can better trap him in a area of our choosing so we can create the weapon we all wanted. All we have to do is get the brat banished through something that not even Tsunade could overlook" said Hiruzen as he looks at Jiraiya with a smirk as he writes a letter about the Akatsuki and Naruto.
What Hiruzen or Jiraiya didn't know is that Hayato was listening in and had seen a chance for Naruto to grow into someone incredibly powerful and someone who would be the first master of both the killing fist and the saving fist.
'You fools just gave rise to something new in this world of shadows.' thought Hayato as he goes to make some new Ideas for a gift Naruto would need for what will happened.
4 months later with Naruto
Naruto is showing Tenten Chinese Kenpo and Wushu in the forest training grounds of team 8 she was surprised by Naruto's training regiment and conditioning she is amazed by how extensive his curriculum is as he shows off the acrobatics and weapons forms found in Wushu. Tenten for her part had absorbed these elements along with the form of Eagle Claw Kung fu and Mok Gar learning from each the grapples, throws, strikes and takedowns of each form. Tenten found herself naturally taking each form in with gusto as she trained with Naruto. Tenten for her part feels an attraction to the blonde as she finds his work ethic and strength of will charming along with his personality being mysterious to her. Tenten had also remembered what Ino said about Naruto most likely being put into the CRA.
At the moment Naruto is sparring with Tenten using the Dao sabers Tenten has taken a liking to. Tenten for her part is amazed by the speed and fluidity Naruto is showing her as she is masterfully dancing with him a battle of swords.
Soon Naruto disarms Tenten with a blade wrap that knocks the sword out of her hands.
"Excellent Tenten you are very good at handling the Dao Sword however let's see if you can handle the Jian sword." said Naruto as he looks at Tenten who smiles at Naruto compliment as she thought that she had him in the fight.
"You are an amazing teacher Naruto thank you for the practice." said Tenten as she finds herself breathing hard at the workout, she has just experienced.
Naruto senses 8 figures in the trees proceeds to call out." You 8 can come out I know your there." as soon 8 individuals in hunter ninja gear leap down to surround Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki, you are marked for death by the council of Konoha. We are the 8 Warrior Phantoms, your executioners." said the leader wielding Tekko Kagi as he and his men surround Naruto as each one of them draw weapons unique to them.
"Tenten go and get Tsunade to tell her that I will need her for some treatment for these men." said Naruto as he goes to draw his Dao sword. Tenten was about to argue but Naruto gave her a glance that shared no back talk. Tenten begrudgingly agreed as she goes off the get Tsunade.
"I hope Tsunade can give you a proper burial." said Naruto as he looks at the assassin's with a cold gaze.
The Phantoms proceeds to attack Naruto at the same time. Naruto adeptly defends himself using his skills in Chinese Kenpo block, evade or parries their attacks. Naruto proceeds to knock away the weakest on taking him out of the fight. Naruto catches the hand of a phantom wielding a knife trying to stab him and uses it to stab the biggest man of the group in the leg. Naruto breaks the knife wielder's arm hitting him with an elbow strike and throws it into the bigger phantom. Naruto proceeds to throw a dagger in the big man's femoral artery.
Naruto sweeps the biggest phantom on his feet and gives him a concussion as he turns to flip out of the way of a Chain Sickle Strike from one phantom, dodging the claws of the Tekko Kagi wielding leader, Catches two knives from the knife thrower of the group, evades the arrows of the archer of the group and parries strikes from the Wakizashi wielder of the group. Naruto looks around to see them reassessing him as they adjust tactics as they reengages the blonde.
Naruto proceeds to cut apart the Kusarigama wielder's weapon to pieces and hits him with a very strong palm strike towards a tree, breaking it apart. Naruto blocks and parries the machete wielder's strikes until Naruto sees the opening uses a devious faint that sees the phantom on the ground screaming in pain as Naruto had cut his arm and leg. The Archer shoots at Naruto with expert precision. Naruto proceeds to manipulate the archer into shooting the knife thrower and causing Naruto to throw a knife into the archer's chest.
Now it's just the leader and Naruto as Naruto has his dao sword on him as the two proceed to lunge at each other and trade unanswered strikes. The two slowly turn around to look at each other. Naruto sees that the leader cut him across the chest but the leader appears to have a massive slash across his chest as Tenten along with Tsunade, Shizune and several Anbu arrived at the scene as Naruto looks at the leader as he nods his head in respect as he falls down in pain at the slash he received.
"Hey Baa Chan can you heal me? These guys were pretty tough." said Naruto as he looks at Tsunade as she rushes over to punch him upside his head. "Damn Gaki you have incredible skill and ridiculous luck to be able to do this to the Phantoms." said Tsunade as Naruto chuckles at his godmother figure.
"Naruto kun did you just defeat the 8 Phantom Warriors?" asked Shizune as Naruto responds. " If they weren't Phantom Warriors before. They are now." as Shizune turns towards all of them to see that all of them are dead.
'Who ever trained you kid is someone incredibly good.' thought Tsunade as she looks at her godson in question as she goes to heal him.
Chapter end.
