It's been a few day since the threes last bounty. They did well and got there first kills out of the way, or Naruto did at least.
"All right guys. It's time to step up your training. We will start learning how to do Ninjutsu!" Shijo yelled.
"Finally." Naruto replied.
"All right. Here's some chakra paper. Send chakra through it and it'll reveal you chakra affinities." Shijo said. Naruto and Gaara did what he said.
"Mine turned to dust." Gaara said confused.
"Oh. You must have an affinity for Earth. Kind of goes hand and hand with your sand." Shijo said smiling. Shijo looks at Naruto. Naruto is looks at his paper. The papar then splits in half. One side gets damp while the other crinkles up.
"What? I have Water, Lightning, and Air?" Naruto said astonished.
"Is that not good?" Gaara asked.
"It's very good and lucky. It's already rare to have to affinities especially considering Air affinity can be rare, but three. That's amazing." Shijo said.
"How'd you know it was rare Naruto?" Gaara asked. Naruto looks at his bag.
"This bag here is full of more than just fighting scrolls Gaara." Naruto said.
-Random field-
"All right everyone. You know how to use chakra so all you have to do is that and do whatever the papaer says." Shijo said causing Naruto and Gaara to anime fall.
"You're not gonna help?" Naruto yelled. Shijo scratched the back of his head.
"Well. When it comes to swords I can teach, but I'm not the best teacher when it comes to Ninjutsu. Besides you have a lot of scrolls that can teach you." Shijo said waving them off.
"Fine." Naruto gave up and digged into his backpack pulling out many scrolls. "Ninjutsu 1 0 1. Never try to mix your chakra affinities. Why can't we do that?" Naruto asked confused.
"Well. I think anytime some one does that it creates a mixture of affinities so it loses stability and becomes to powerful to handle. It could put a lot of strain on your body." Shijo explained.
"Do you think with The Kyuubis healing factor I could do it?" Naruto asked.
"It would still strain your body, but the chances of dying are basically nonexistent though. You know what. Go for it. Not you though Gaara." Shijo said.
"I don't even have more than one affinity." Gaara said with his head low.
"Another thing. Naruto do to your Uzamaki heritage I recommend seals. They where Uzamakis specialty." Shijo said before walking to a nearby tree and passing out.
"Shall we get started?" Gaara asked.
-10 years later-
Shijo, Gaara, and Naruto are walking along a dirt path next to the foggy bay of an ocean. The three are on there way to The Land of Waves. Naruto holds his hand. He focuses and a drop of water, spark of lightning, and a ball of moving air appear.
Naruto tries to mix the affinities together but reject eachother making Naruto sweat from the effort he put into that.
"Still can't do it?" Shijo asked.
"I've come a long way. I can even make miniature cloaks of my affinities on me. One at a time of course." Naruto said.
"Yeah, but that was completely on accident though." Gaara pointed out.
"That is true."
-Flashback-
A year after Naruto started his Ninjutsu training and he progressed a long way in Ninjutsu and seals. Naruto was also working on his experimentation.
"What if I try to mix them and send the chakra through out my body?" Naruto questioned, and stupidly he tried it. Naruto tried it but ended up putting to much chakra in water and sent through his body. Naruto then found himself in a armor of water.
"Awesome!" He yelled. He did the same thing except with wind and next lightning. They came out the same.
-Flashback end-
"Anyway. Why do we have to go to wave for bounties. Thers are plenty all around?" Naruto asked.
"Well when you told me we needed more money I started looking around. There is no bounty that pays enough to take care of a village, but a corrupted rich man who kills innocent people is." Shijo said.
"Yeah I guess, but who would that be?" Naruto asked.
"Gato of Gato Shipping." Gaara said.
"Exactly." Shijo said.
"How did you know about him Gaara?" Naruto asked.
"Know about what?" Gaara questioned. Naruto then notices a ship in the background with Gatos logo on it and sweats.
"Never mind. Anyway. Are we just gonna rob him?" Naruto asked.
"Nope. We are gonna capture him, make him sign over his buisness to us, then kill him." Shijo said.
"That's exactly how it'll go?" Naruto questioned.
"Exactly." Shijo said making Naruto sweat drop. The group walk onto an unsuspecting sight moments later. It's a really foggy area and they can hear blades crashing into eachother.
"Let's go around." Shijo said.
"No. What of it's innocent people being robbed?" Naruto questioned.
"Fine." Shijo said as the three walk in. The three walk until Naruto has had enough.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" Naruto yelled causing a split in the fog and disppatering it. What they saw was a group of shinobi surrounded by a lot of clones of some dude with a big sword. Naruto recognized him immeadiatly.
"Zabuza Momochi. Make I aske why your attacking these shinobi and old man?" Shijo asked pointing out the old man.
"I don't know who you are, but I'd leave if I was you. I don't want to have the trouble of also killing you three." Zabuza said.
"Sand Wave!" Gaara shouted sending a lot of sand towards Zabuza who jumped away in time. His clones didn't get so lucky and turned to water dampening his sand.
"Gaara I recommend you only use your Earth Jutsus. The ground here is very damp and that adds wait to your sand taking chakra unnecessarily." Shijo said. Naruto was looking at the group until he recognized there headbands.
"Leaf!" Naruto thought reaching in his bag and pulling out a mask. It was completely black with nine orange marks on the forehead part. "Good thing I pack for emergencies like this." Naruto thought.
"Kid. You have bigger problems then that." The Kyuubi said. Naruto came back to his surroundings. Now noticing a stand off between a grey haired ninja and Shijo.
"It seems like I'm very out numbered and running out of chakra. This won't be the end Kakashi Hatake." Zabuza flashed away.
"Thanks for the help." Kakashi said holding out his hand. Shijo took it.
"Say. What are you five doing out here. Aren't you Leaf ninja?" Shijo asked suspicious they might be after Naruto.
"Oh you know. C-Rank turned into a B-Rank possible A-Rank." Kakashi said.
"Who are the three kids?" Shijo asked.
"I'm Sakura Haruno. That's Sai and Saskue." Sakura said.
"Sakura? Oh yeah I remember her. I definitely remember Saskue, but this sai person. Nope. Doesn't ring a bell." Naruto thought.
"What are you doing out here?" Kakashi asked.
"We are going after a corrupted buisness man named Gato." Shijo said.
"Is to! You should join us!" Sakura yelled. Shijo looked at her.
"You know you shouldn't go screaming out village missions like there. You don't who could be listening." Shijo said quieting the pinkette and causing her to look around.
"You can come if you want. This is Tazuna he is are client." Kakashi said pulling Tazuna close. Shijo stood over the man. Shijo was even an inch taller than Kakashi.
"We'd love to, but we call dibs on Gato." Shijo said. Kakashi and him made an agreement that if we they helped now named Team 7. They could have Gato.
"May I aske who those two are. Especially the one with the mask?" Kakashi asked.
"That's Gaara and that's uhmmm...Tito Aruma." Shijo said.
"What an intresting name. Well we better get a move on." Kakashi said as the group walk towards there new location. Tazunas house. The group arrived at dark. Luckily they walked in on Tazunas daughter Tsunami making dinner so no one complained. They all sit down to eat including his grandchild Inari.
"So. You four are shinobi from the Leaf, and you three are just after Gato?" Tsunami asked.
"Precisely." Shijo said smiling.
"Wow. I saw all those looks you've been giving eachother and that better be it." Naruto thought hard enough for Shijo to hear in his head. It kind of freaked him out.
"What's the point. You're only gonna die! No matter who stands up to Gato they all die. No ones safe from his reach. Shinobi are just as weak as regular people. In fact they're weaker then me! They think they can understand people's pain. Pain like mine! I've lost my home and dad! I got nothing!" Inari yelled in a flash.
The room grew cold. The food turn to ice. The wind started to pick up. And Narutos hair started to raise. Shijo and Gaara looked at Naruto. "Get back." They both said.
In a flash Naruto was holding Inari against the wall. The table was in half. Nobody could track it. Not even Shijo. Everyone went into action. Gaara wrapped his sand around Naruto and tried to pull it back with him, but it wouldn't budge. Shijo himslef tried to pull Narutos hand away, but couldn't.
The room got colder as Naruto looked into Inaris eyes. He spoke in a deep voice. Like The Kyuubis
"You don't know what I've been through or what others have been through. All you know is a comfortable bed and breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. Tell me. Have you ever been beaten by those you swore to protect. Hated by those you thought you loved. Have you lost everyone you saw as a parent in your life." Naruto said as he punched the wall he was holding Inari against send his fist through.
"Have you been born with a demon in you? Have you been cursed to be hated by your own father and have to kill to defend at your age? Have you even had your clan wiped out by the one you trusted the most?" Naruto asked. Saskue shifted a little.
Inari was now crying. Naruto punched another part of the wall. Breaking it again.
"The pain you've been through is nothing compare to most of the people sitting at this table. If you lost a father, imagine what's it's like to lose to sets of parents?" Naruto said having his eyes change to a red color with a black slit.
"That's enough!" Shijo said pulling as hard as he could.
"Calm down kid." The Kyuubi said in his head. Naruto stopped and the wind stopped blowing along with the temperature in the room as Narutos hair fell over his eyes. Naruto quickly walked out of the house.
Shijo turned around to look at Team 7. Along with the house owners. "Uhh. I'm sorry about him He's been through a lot." Shijo said noticing Sakura shaking. He went up and patted her on the head.
"Don't worry. He wouldn't hurt a fly." Shijo said.
"Sure would hurt a wall." Sai said.
"Speaking of wall. Who's gonna take care of that?" Tazuna yelled.
"I'll take care of it." Gaara said. He went up to the wal and smacked it on the wall. "It repairs damaged objects." Gaara said sending chakra through it. The wall eventually looked brand new.
"Well now that's taken care of. Where did the brat go?" Tazuna asked looking around.
"Probably blowing off steam." Gaara said.
"How does he do that?" Tsunami asked.
Naruto punches a tree obliterating the part he punched. It fell to the ground as he went to work on the others. He activated his Wind Armor and punched a tree causing a ripple of wind to slice the trees in half. Naruto fell to his knees exhausted and low on chakra. Eventually falling asleep.
Shijo is shown to his room. It's really nice. Better than Gaaras and Narutos. Almost like a master bedroom. He hears the door behind him and to his suprise. He sees Tsunami.
Gaara looks out the window. He here's a knock at the door and goes to answer only to see Kakashi. "Yes?" Gaara asked.
"We're being bunked with you. Sakura has to be separated from the guys." Kakashi said eye smiling. Gaara stepped to the side and welcomed them in. They settle in and fall asleep.
