"It`s you who are stuck here with me." And with a flash of black and red, Naruto was gone for the spot, immediately drawing out shocked expressions from Kakashi, Jiraiya, Kushina, Shikamaru, Asuma, Gai and Sasuke, with the rest of the group being confused, yet everyone had gotten in to a standard formation.
"Hey, did the dead last just pull a Shadow Clone on us and leave us hanging?!" Kiba snarled, sniffing the air in the process. "Damn it, I can`t get his smell from here. Akamaru, do you smell that idiot?" The large ninken only whined, stating the opposite.
"Kiba, that move that Naruto just pulled off was definitely not a Shadow Clone Jutsu." Shikamaru stated with knowledge and full seriousness. "Jiraiya-sama, Kakashi-sensei, correct me if I`m wrong, but wasn`t that Fourth Hokage`s Hiraishin? A space and time Fuinjutsu, allowing for an instant teleportation from one spot to another?"
"Yeah, that certainly looked like Hiraishin to me." Jiraiya agreed, carefully analyzing the environment around him with the rest of the Shinobi here. "That definitely looked like Minato`s signature Flying Raijin, but I doubt that Naruto could`ve learned that from anywhere. Hell, the only existing scroll on Hiraishin and written by Minato is in Konoha, with Menma, who still can`t even get the formula right, and he is a genius, when compared to Naruto. No, the gaki must be just playing with us here, trying to even up the chances through some cheeky little pranks."
"Yeah, I agree with you, Jiraiya-sama. I remember during my time training Naruto, that he had an abysmal control over his chakra, at best. Minato-sensei had told me that Hirashin requires a precise control over one`s chakra, as well as a clear and clean vision of where to teleport and where the marker is placed, otherwise one will not succeed in transporting himself And Naruto was never one to fully focus his attention on anything for at least ten minutes or so." Kakashi stated with confidence, but still lifted up his headband and revealed his own Sharingan. "But, if Naruto wishes to play this game, we might just humor him and take him down a couple of pegs along the lines. 7 years or not, I doubt that Naruto had changed much."
"I would not be so sure. Naruto has spent a very long time away from Konoha and has made himself a reputation as Hanzo Hattori, one of the most skilled and powerful Ronin of this generation and era. It is only logical to assume that Naruto that we knew is nothing when compared to today`s version we are to face now." Shino spoke calmly, but still hiding a good amount of fear in his mind at facing an S-rank head on. "Taking into consideration the reputation that Naruto has garnered himself over the years, confirmed feats, kills and combat information from various sources, I believe our best course of actions would be to tactically retreat or try to reason with him diplomatically."
"Shino, are you really that afraid of Naruto? C`mon, it`s the dead last of our class, the Kyuubi Cheater and the number one idiot of our village. Trust me, I`ve been in the same team as he and trust me when I say this: he has nothing on me, Kakashi-sensei, and especially Sasuke-kun." Sakura arrogantly stated, ignorant of lack of logic in her statement. "Hell, Sasuke-kun had nearly killed him had Naruto-baka not cheated and pulled a Kyuubi on Sasuke-kun, when Naruto had tried to kill Sasuke-kun in cold blood. Heck, the only reason why he is still alive is probably because of damn luck and Kyuubi, otherwise he should`ve long kicked the bucket."
Kushina gritted her teeth at hearing the pink haired kunoichi say such mean things about her firstborn son. She wished she could`ve reprimanded this disgrace of a Shinobi, but then she remembered that she was no better than her until she had returned to Konoha with her Menma 7 years ago. No, she was worse, far worse, having purposefully abandoned her son with a burden that never should`ve carried out alone, making him a prime target for the village to get rid off through placing a reward upon his head and denying any and all claims by those few that informed her of Naruto`s life in Konoha and his behavior. Kushina had always kept an eye out for Naruto, or rather, Kyuubi, as she believed him to be one. She was expecting the demon fox to rise up again and give Kushina a justified excuse to kill the boy herself, to 'free' her son`s body and soul from its clutches, but it never happened. Years and years have gone by, with abuse, cruelty, beatings and close to death situations, reported to Kushina, and yet…
Slowly, piece by piece, bit by bit, her previous believes were starting to crumble, and the image of a possessed child with whiskers and eyes of a demon was starting to get replaced with one of a horrified, lonely child, crying out for his mother to come for him, surrounded by people all ready to kill him. Kushina had spent countless nights waking up from nightmares at the thoughts of her Naruto, with her dreams showing her son being killed many, many times. And it wasn`t Menma, no, but Naruto. Eventually, widow of the Fourth Hokage had finally came to a realization of what kind of horrible mistake she has made and with her younger son in tow, rushed back to Konoha, fully intent on reuniting with Naruto and seeking out his forgiveness.
However, by the time Kushina had gotten back, it was already too late, as Naruto has been banished from the Village for over a month now, and the entirety of Konoha has been absolutely glad it had happened. Her and Menma`s return was met with celebrations and she, along with her son, were treated as if they were heroes, with Menma now being renowned as a savior of Konoha for howling half of Kyuubi in him. It was a complete opposite of what Naruto had experienced, according to Tsunade, who not only refused to acknowledge Kushina and Menma as part of her family, but Tsunade had denied them Menma`s inheritance as a Senju, which was by right his. Kushina was in outrage when her mother-in-law refused to even as much as call Menma by his father`s name, but when Tsunade had stated that to her, only Naruto was a true son of Minato and her grandson and that the only reason as to why Tsunade didn`t pummel Kushina into dust for what she did was because she didn`t want to let her son face Kushina in the afterlife and suffer the shame. Needless to say, relations between Kushina and Tsunade were antagonistic at best, and at its worst, Tsunade wasn`t beyond punishing Menma for his seeming arrogance and being intolerable to the Fifth Hokage, even if Kushina didn`t see anything wrong with her son`s behavior.
When the news came about Naruto`s death, it had nearly shattered Kushina completely, the knowledge that her firstborn was dead and would never even know of her was nearly unbearable. When the funerals came, there were only those that had considered Naruto his or her friend, most of whom were right here as well. Tsunade was also there, crying out loud and even breaking down at Naruto`s grave, cursing the village, Council, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kushina for what they all had done to Naruto. Kushina herself was crying at her son`s grave, but her small tears were nothing when compared to what Tsunade, Shizune, Kurenai, Hinata, Ayame, Teuchi, Iruka and some others have let out. The advisors and some Civilian Councilors have also paid a visit, as the Council, after the return of Kushina and Menma, had begrudgingly absolved Naruto of all his crimes and punishments, even if most of the Village had continued to view Naruto as nothing more but a cheater, troublemaker, and demon. While Kushina was angered and had lashed out at others when the mentioning of this came to her attention, deep down inside she understood that it all was due to her own fault. And now, after 6 years of mourning, she had the chance to reunite her family, and there was no way she would miss it.
"Naruto! Please, I beg of you, come with us back to the Village! I know what I had done to you was horrible, and I know how much you`ve suffered because I wasn`t there for you. But please, Sochi, just come back with me and your friends here! I can make it all right, we can be a full family, a real one!" Kushina shouted out in the woods, hoping to persuade her son to come with them. "Your brother and me, we both truly want to have you with us, as a part of our family. I will even train you alongside with your brother and the Village will accept you with open arms and…"
"You still don`t get it, do you?" Came Naruto`s voice, but pinpointing the source was futile, as Sasuke and Kakashi with their Sharingan and Neji with Byakugan weren`t able to see where Naruto was. "You, Menma, the Village, everyone here…"
"I don`t give a damn about any of your fates." Everyone`s eyes widened, as Naruto`s voice came right from their midst and all turned their heads towards him, but before anyone could react, a stabbing sound resonated through the night and a cry of pain was heard.
The source of the voice was none other but Shikamaru, in whose back were stabbed three senbon, plunged deep into his spine, immobilizing him and causing severe pain. Naruto stood right behind him, having plunged the senbon into the spine himself, making sure to disable Shikamaru for good. Without wasting any time, Naruto sent his katana in his right arm to block Asuma`s attack at him, who had managed to react first to Naruto`s appearance in their midst, so didn`t wait with charging up his blades and decided to slice him up first, sending his right blade right at his neck. Had Naruto not trained himself, or he did not possess the profound firsthand experience of war, he would`ve been down already, but he had all of it and more, so his katana`s blunt side meet with Asuma`s blade, before Naruto brought his katana down and back, slashing at Jonin`s arm, cutting it deeply and nearly severing the bones.
Asuma gritted his teeth at pain and nearly let go of his weapon, but his role was completed: he managed to stall Naruto for everyone to get on to him. And just as everyone was already turning towards Naruto, former blond wasted no time as he kicked Shikamaru in the back, pushing him in the arms of Chouji and Lee… before three Explosive tags had went off right at the feet of Shikamaru and Naruto, engulfing the area around in an explosion and smock.
Fortunately, the rest of the group had managed to react in time to jump right clear away from the area of explosion, with Shikamaru being carried away by Chouji and Ino, who joined him. However, even though everyone had cleared away from the area of explosion, Konoha`s group now faced a completely different problem: when they jumped away from the explosion, they scattered around the area and were now broken down to pairs and threes, groups that were far easy to pick upon. Most of them understood this, and were already thinking about getting back together, but that is when their luck had once again ran out, as thick, layered with chakra, fog settled in within the barrier, obscuring the vision, smell and even hearing.
"Water Style: Magen Kirigakure no Jutsu." Naruto mentally said as his personal variant of Hidden Mist Jutsu settled in, as he sat on a tree branch and watched as Konoha`s group was split and stuck together with those that they saw closest to them at the moment. "Now, time to pick them apart…" Naruto thought to himself, as he made his signature hand seal, before he and his clones disappeared in flashes of red and black.
"Careful, Chouji, sat him down more carefully!" Ino commanded to her teammate, who sat Shikamaru down, while his injured comrade was shaking slightly, with three senbon right in his back. "Okay, give me some space, I`ll try and see what Naruto had done to Shika here." Ino, who much like Sakura, had went through Medical Ninja courses back in Konoha, went immediately Shikamaru to examine him, before her eyes widened in shock. "This is bad, really bad…"
"Ino, what is it? What did Naruto do with Shika?" Chouji asked of Ino, worried for his best friend.
"These senbon… Naruto didn`t just injure Shikamaru, but he plunged those senbon right in between Shikamaru`s vertebras, with a surgeon`s precision no less." Ino stated to Chouji who paled instantly. "Right now, Shikamaru is paralyzed and can`t move or react to anything, as his nervous system just went into a shock. For as long as those senbon are in his back, he won`t be able to come to his senses, but… But if I try to remove them on my own, I can end up crippling Shikamaru completely. One wrong move of those senbon and…"
"And your best mind will not be able to move even a muscle." Ino and Chouji widened their eyes, as they looked upwards, seeing Naruto sitting right above them. "I`ve taken a couple of lessons on Human Physiology and Pressure Points whilst I was in Kiri. Must say, their Anbu, Iryo-nins and Hunter-nins really do know their stuff. And their acupuncture is one hell of a stress reliever, a real life saviour when you have stiffness all over your body."
"Naruto, h-how could you do something like that to Shika?! Y-you could`ve paralyzed him for life or worse, kill him!" Chouji shouted at Naruto, who didn`t even move a muscle. "L-look, I know what Shika, me and others have said was bad, and we are all really sorry for it, buddy, but that is not the reason to be so hostile towards us. Wh-why don`t you just come with us back in Village, a-and I`ll ask my mom to treat you to something really tasty, like the old good times? J-just help Shikamaru here and we can all go home together." From that one, Chouji and Ino heard a distinct chuckle coming from Naruto, a dark one, before he spoke up.
"Chouji, you were always a jovial buffoon. A good, kind one, but a buffoon none the less, always going along with the crowd and letting your stomach does all the thinking before your head." Naruto simply stated to him, with Chouji gritting his teeth and tightening his fist. "If we really were friends, you would`ve at least asked me about the Kyuubi and what happened in the Valley, not berate and accuse me of what I was forced to do. Hell, you and most of the others, you all really are just a bunch of morons, having fallen for Sasuke`s tales and turned on me. You were out there too, Chouji, and we all knew that Sasuke had defected, yet you, Kiba, Shika here, and everyone else just took the words of a traitor over the supposed 'friendship' with me. Some friends… And as for Shika here, I wouldn`t be surprised if he later on said thanks, since moving around is such a drag…" Naruto let out an amused chuckle, recalling how lazy Shikamaru could be.
"You can`t say that Sasuke had defected, he was under the influence of Curse Mark and it made him go rogue!" Ino protested, forcing Naruto to turn to her. "H-he wasn`t in the right state of mind when he did it, s-so you can`t just blame him for what had happened to you, Naruto! You were the one who injured and nearly killed him, whilst using the Kyuubi and…"
"Nearly killed, Ino?" Naruto asked of her again with a risen brow. "Ino, have you, or anyone else, took your time and looked at me when I was in hospital? I had two stabbing wounds in chest from Sasuke`s Chidori, nearly all of my bones were broken or on a brink of break down, and don`t get me started on a blood loss. And what of Sasuke? A couple of cuts, bruises and some minor concussion, I believe? Yeah, he totally didn`t try to kill me and I had put him at death`s doorsteps." Naruto simply let out a sigh, getting down onto to the ground and looking at the pair, who was ready to fight him. "Who am I trying to convince: a number two fangirl and a fatso with a brain in his stomach? Anyway, enough talk…"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING FATSO?! MY BONES ARE JUST…" Chouji cried out in rage, not even catching a glimpse of Naruto looking in his eyes.
"Genjutsu: Nocturne Embrace." And with that said, Chouji`s rage was quelled in a second, before his body slumped and fell down onto the ground, with his mind now being plagued by his deepest nightmares and unable to escape them. "Akimichi Clan focuses on their physical application of their chakra, being able to draw upon Yang Chakra with relative ease at a limited extend. This makes them best suited for Taijutsu, with a lesser reliance on Ninjutsu than others, and a complete lack of Genjutsu. Want to beat an Akimichi: use Genjutsu. Gotta love Senju`s Warring States Encyclopaedia."
"Wh-what the hell?! Ch-Chouji, are you… N-Naruto, you`ve got Genjutsu as well? You were supposed to be unable to use any of it!" Ino screamed at him, while moving towards Chouji to wake him up, but she was unable to reach him, as Naruto appeared right in front of Ino and delivered her a powerful punch in the gut.
"Yamanaka- complete opposite of Akimichi, best at Genjutsu due to their mind-controlling abilities, but worst at Taijutsu." Naruto mentally recited, as his knee moved to Ino`s chest and stroke there, before Naruto grabbed Ino`s long hair and repeatedly punched her in the face five times in a fast succession with his right hand, breaking her nose in the process.
Letting go dazed and unfocused girl, Naruto finished her off with a powerful kick in the head, knocking her out of commission and possibly causing her a concussion.
"Result: two ribs broke, three more are damaged; broken nose, cracked skull and a concussion." Naruto thought to himself, looking at the defeated members of team Asuma, before dispelling and letting the original know that they were dealt with.
Clang of metal was heard in a different part of the yard, as Naruto`s katana clashed with Asuma`s chakra trench blades. Whilst Naruto was in near full armor suit, his natural speed and agility, coupled with experience in fighting various opponents and having seen many stances, he was able to match Asuma`s expertise in close quarters combat, especially having dealt him a serious bleeding wound, which disabled Asuma`s usage of his right hand. Now all that Naruto needed to do is find a correct opening and strike at his opponent, while his katana, charged with Hien, clashed with Asuma`s charged up knife and was pushing him back.
"Striking first at Shika so that he couldn`t catch you with his Shadow Possession was actually clever. And without him, there would be no one who could get a strategy against you. Can`t believe that I`m saying this, but you are good, kid." Asuma gritted his teeth, as Naruto applied some more strength and pushed Asuma back, before kicking him in the stomach, followed by a horizontal slash, which Asuma managed to evade by moving backward, spitting some blood out of his mouth. "Shit… Should`ve killed you when I had the chance back then, in Kurenai`s home. If only that snake bitch didn`t show up!" Asuma shouted out as he went again on the offensive, jumping up in the air and trying to land a kick on Naruto.
But when Asuma had reached the ground, Naruto already moved away and disappeared into the mist, not even a single shadow, outline or even a sound could be pinpointed because of the mist. Asuma knew of the Kirigakure no Jutsu, made famous, or infamous, thanks to masters of silent assassination, like Zabuza Momochi, but that Jutsu didn`t block any hearing or sounds. Naruto`s version, on the other hand, seemed to be a far more advance version of it, as it would appear to Asuma, that the water particles in the air not only completely obscured the vision, but also blocked the sound waves . Considering that the sound travels through air, put a chakra filled mist with enough juice to stop the air from transporting the sound… As much as Asuma hated Naruto or didn`t want to acknowledge him as an equal to him, he had to admit one thing: Naruto has changed.
"Okay, brat, I`ll give you credit where it`s due. You may`ve grown stronger, but still doesn`t change the fact of you being an idiot." Asuma taunted Naruto, trying to provoke him, as he was sure that he would be able to hear him, even though this fog was in here. "Did you really think my father would`ve allowed such a loose cannon like a Jinchuriki of Kyuubi run free and without any restraints? No, he wouldn`t, especially when our Village had suffered from that damn Kyuubi and was down on manpower. It needed power, power to keep the other villages from destroying us, and because of that my old man had to keep you nice and docile, considering that your younger brother was in capitol at time. You know why he allowed all those beatings? All because he wanted to install fear in to you, the fear what would happened if you had betrayed the village. But when Kurenai had adopted you, everyone had started to fear that you might actually grow away from fearing us, so I`ve seduced that girl and gained a way to her home, as well as what`s in her pants…" Asuma let out an amused chuckle, expecting a reaction from Naruto.
"Too bad when I decided to simply get the reward for your head, her snake whore showed up and nearly castrated me. I wanted her to be executed, and Kurenai to have the same Seal put as on you, but my old man wouldn`t have it. 'It would be detrimental to Konoha`s strength' was what he said, so he only done some talking to them and made sure you would never be allowed to either be adopted, or that those two bitches would come near you. You should`ve seen how Kurenai had cried… But don`t you worry, I`ve helped her pull through, if you know what I mean." Asuma finally heard a ruffling of the grass in front of him, before Naruto finally appeared with an ice cold glare directed towards Asuma.
"You really should`ve taken my life back then, bastard." Naruto simply noted out to him, as he changed up his stance bringing his sword with the flat side above the ground, hilt close to his shoulder, with his left hand laying a the tip of the blade. "Now, I`ll see to it, so that you won`t hurt neither Kurenai, nor Anko, Asuma Sarutobi!" With that roared out like a dragon, Naruto pushed his body forward and disappeared in a blaze of speed, with Asuma widening his eyes when he recognized that technique.
"A brought to shoulder sword with its flat side over the ground… This technique, it can`t be…" Asuma had hurried to ready himself for the defence, but ended up missing his opportunity, as a slash came at him, a wound trail going from his right side of torso and diagonally travelling to his left shoulder.
"Hirazuki: Gatotsu Isshiki." Naruto simply stated, as Asuma dropped his weapon and slumped down on his knees, bleeding profusely, while the former blond turned to face him. "When I was participating in Mizu`s Civil War, I had taken lessons from Ieyasu`s personal guards, Shinsengumi, specifically from one man known as Wolf of Nibu. Wouldn`t say I fully mastered his techniques and style, but at the very least, I would say I can hold my own in a sword fight with it." Naruto stood right in front of Asuma, who looked up in his eyes, with Naruto bringing his sword up with both of his hands, seeing fear in Asuma`s eyes instantly. "Such fear and dread… And this is supposed to be one of the best Twelve Guardian Shinobi? You are almost too pathetic to kill… Almost." Asuma widened his eyes, as Naruto brought down his blade upon Asuma, slashing it diagonally down, cutting up his face, left eye, nose and cheek, with the blood starting to gush down onto the ground from a new wound, as Asuma`s body hit the dirt and blood started pouring down on to the grass.
"If you are dead, tell Hiruzen that we are even now. And if not… You make one move towards any of my friends and family, I`ll cut your head clean off." And with that said, Naruto`s clone dispelled himself, letting the original know what had transpired with Asuma.
Shino`s bugs were spread around him, trying to gain an evaluation of the situation and failing. He was logically at a disadvantage, understanding that Naruto he once knew of had changed, completely and utterly. The reputation that he has garnered as Hanzo Hattori spoke volumes of that, as Shino mentally recalled the Bingo Book entry for Hanzo Hattori.

After what Shino has read, as well as heard of Mizu`s Civil War and how it was more brutal and horrifying than all of Shinobi World Wars combined, the bug user of Konoha was finding far more logical to withdraw from the place, as it seemed like Naruto was more than ready to deal with all of them.
"So, Shino, what shall it be?" Shino turned around and looked at Naruto, who was standing just 7 feet away from him, ready and waiting for him. "You are probably the smartest of the group here, and you were one of the few who didn`t ostracize me back in Konoha when I returned."
"It would`ve been illogical and careless, to trust the words of an unstable Shinobi turned traitor, like Sasuke, over the words of a proven trustworthy and loyal Ninja, like you, Naruto." Shino explained himself to him, with Naruto chuckling at this one. "It was obvious that your skills, abilities and Jutsu were the product of not Kyuubi`s influence of you, not completely, but of your personal trainings and determination. My clan and father understood that as well, but others seem to have let their emotions and ignorance take a hold of them. I apologize for their illogical and irrational decision to banish you."
"Don`t be sorry, Shino. I`ve had 7 years to think it over, and I knew that some clans wouldn`t support this decision, either to keep a Jinchuriki like me in Konoha, or simply because of simple kindness, though I almost didn`t believe in it at a time." Naruto admitted to Shino. "So, who aside from Aburame Clan, had voted against banishing me?"
"Clan Hyuuga. Lord Hiashi was quite… Passionate about how the Village has been treating you with injustice." Naruto was honestly surprised at this one, before recalling his past and seeing the reasoning behind such actions. "Apparently, you had in the past, aided him or Clan Hyuuga in general, in some way. Also, he also had asked to take you under his wing, but was refused by the Council."
"I remember. Didn`t think that Lord Hiashi would be so… grateful to me, even though it was nothing for me to do." Naruto uttered, more for himself than for Shino, before turning his full attention to Shino. "Shino, what`s it going to be? Stand down, and I`ll let you out of here. Stay and fight, then I`ll have to apologize to Kurenai-onee-chan for hurting, and believe, I can and I will hurt you badly."
"Somehow, I inclined to believe that statement." Shino said to Naruto, as he brought back his bugs. "Very well, I`ll stand down. However, are you certain you can break this barrier, especially considering that you are only a clone of real Naruto?" The clone smirked at this one.
"Clever as always, Shino. The Crescent Dome Barrier is a fine Level 7 Fuinjutsu technique, no argument about it, but the other clones are already at work rewriting it to my needs. They shall be finished in a few moments by now, so I can safely escort you out of the combat zone, if you want to…" Naruto`s clone stated to him, with Shino nodding to him.
"Lead the way then." Shino said to the clone, who took the lead. "By the way, there is something important you may want to hear. This mission, it wasn`t sanctioned by Lady Hokage, but by the Council`s body, without her permission or knowledge. In fact, I believe that by now, she must already be aware of this."
"I`ve figured as much myself, but thank you for this information, Shino." Naruto`s clone told to Shino with a small smile, while mentally already thinking. "That explains why Kaa-chan had suddenly went back on our agreement… That damn Council, what in blazes did Tobirama-jiji thought about when he installed it? Was he drunk, or did he lose a bet like Hashirama-jiji? Anyway, I imagine Kaa-chan is either destroying the Council, or she and her Honour Guard with Shizune are already on their way here. Well, she knows our deal, so I`m fully in my rights to deal with them all as I see fit."
"Alright team, we have managed to find our way to each other through our Power of Youth, with one of our youthful and courageous comrades here as well! Now, let is find the others and deal with this unyouthful demon known as Naruto!" Might Gai shouted out, with Lee supporting him all the way through, while Tenten and Kiba shook their heads, whilst Neji was trying his hardest to see through the fog with his Byakugan, only getting a headache and sore eyes in the process. "Now, Neji, tell us, where are all our other youthful companions?!"
"I…I can`t see anything through this damn fog." Neji said with a strained voice, as he deactivated his eyes, letting breaths of relief. "This mist is filled with such strong and dense chakra, that it`s like I am looking at a sea of constantly shifting chakra. Whatever jutsu Naruto is using here, it not only blocks the vision and sound, but also is strongly effective against my Byakugan. We must count ourselves fortunate that we found each other in this mist."
"So wait, if neither your Byakugan, nor my and Akamaru`s senses can find the others, how the hell will we be able to get to the others, or find that dobe?!" Kiba shouted out. "Damn it, can`t believe that the dead last actually learned something. It`s probably just his Fox helping him."
"Yes, for it is common fact that Naruto requires the Kyuubi`s chakra to be strong! And that is what makes him so unyouthful!" Rock Lee supported this claim, with Neji shaking his head at this.
"No, this field is fully made of Naruto`s own chakra." Neji retorted at this one, surprising everyone. "But… To be able to make such strong mist and with such abilities… He must`ve come a very long way as a Shinobi. And if his reputation is anything to go by, we may be facing an enemy more dangerous than Itachi Uchiha and more powerful than Lady Hokage herself. Perhaps, we may better…" Neji had wanted to continue his speech, but he was suddenly silenced, as his body fell down onto the ground, a senbon sticking out of his neck.
"Neji! H-Hold on, I`ll…" Tenten had wished to rush at his side, but she too hit the ground in the next second with another senbon in her neck, at the exact same spot as Neji`s, causing Lee and Kiba to panic.
"Wh-what the hell is going on?! H-how come Neji and Tenten are down in one shot like that?!" Kiba shouted out.
"Those senbons… They are probably laced with some kind of paralytic poison, designed to shut down the nervous system upon contact. Such poisons and senbons are used most frequently and unyoutfully by Kiri`s Anbu Black Ops, especially by their Assassination Units and Undertaker Squad." Gai explained to them what had happened to Neji and Tenten, carefully looking around. "And Naruto, being an unyouthful demon that he is, probably has picked up on such low techniques, whilst he was in Mizu. But do not worry, my fellow shinobi, for we have on our side the power of springtime YOUTH!" Gai shouted in full force, almost deafening everyone.
"Huh, I doubt it will be enough for you three here." Came a sudden comment, startling everyone, before a sound of metal piercing flesh and bones was heard, forcing everyone to turn to its source, causing the men to pale at the sight, with Kiba nearly losing his mind.
Right before them laid Akamaru, the giant ninken of Kiba, his eternal partner and best friend, among animals and humans. However, while normally a sight of the ninken would`ve been nothing out of ordinary, the hilt of katana sticking right from above his head, with blood coming from both the top of his head and from the bottom of his laying head was something that no one was looking for to seeing. And right at the top of the hilt, on one leg, casually stood Naruto looking at the horrified trio of men, his facial guard hiding most of his emotions, while his eyes were merely eyeing them. The sight of his killed ninken was enough to send Kiba into a murderous rage.
"AKAMARU! I`LL FUCKING KILL YOU, YOU DEMON BASTARD!" Kiba roared inhumanly, launching himself right at Naruto without any thought, and faster than Lee and Gai could stop him, still being horrified at the sight.
However, had Kiba not been in such crazed rage and had learned to think with his head, or at least was more observant, he would`ve seen that Naruto already had his second sword pulled out in his left hand. When Kiba had reached Naruto, the black armoured Ronin seemingly disappeared into a thick mist, leaving the top of the hilt. Before Kiba could sniff him out or hear him, a shadow descended upon him from above him. And in the next second, the shadow reached the ground, just as Kiba had managed to look upwards, a shining thin trail was followed down to his body, a blade red with freshly spilled blood flashed upon the grass.
"Hana sends her regards, kinslayer." Naruto whispered to Kiba, as his eyes widened, before blood splashed from a wound, beginning at the left side of his chest and ending at the right side of his hip, with the Inuzuka dropping dead upon the grass and joining his companion in afterlife purgatory.
With a speed that even Lee could envy, Naruto quickly regained himself and drew his blade in his left hand for in a Hirazuki stance, already launching himself right towards his next target. Gai had managed to regain himself and used all of his speed to try and intercept Naruto.
"Sever Leaf Hurricane!" He shouted out, as he tried to kick Naruto`s face while he was in thrust.
However, all that Gai had managed to hit… was thin air, as Naruto disappeared in a flash of black and red, shocking Gai. And in the next second, just as Gai had landed, a loud shout of pain had come from his student, forcing Might Gai to look and freeze in one instance. Rock Lee stood, frozen in shock and pain, as blood ran down from his mouth. And behind him stood Naruto, whose blade was had struck Lee in his spine and was buried deep enough to cause Lee immeasurable pain and be enough of a threat to completely immobilize him for life.
"L-LEE!" Gai was ready to run to his student, but then Naruto spoke up, with a small medical kit being tossed right at his feet.
"Better think your next move, Gai, because it will decide whether all three of your students die here, or they will live." Naruto said to him in a cold and emotionless voice, causing Gai to freeze up. "Those senbons were laced in an extract, enough to kill even a healthy titan like you. The dose I used will kill Tenten and Neji in 5 minutes, unless you administer the antidote in that pouch I tossed within that time. And as for Lee, if you decide to fight me, he will lose his life in an instant. So, what shall it be, Gai: your students` lives, or a chance to kill the unyouthful demon?" Naruto asked of Gai, who was shaking with rage, but also fear at the prospect of losing his students.
"D-d-damn you, demon!" Gai shouted at Naruto in tears, as his shaky hands picked up the medical kit and he immediately went to Neji and Tenten, hoping to save their lives.
"Wise choice. Now Lee will only lose his legs." Lee and Gai both froze at Naruto`s words, as former Shinobi of the Leaf plunged his sword deeper into Lee`s spine… before severing it, and with a cry of pain, Lee dropped onto the ground, unable to feel his legs anymore, as Naruto`s blade had left his body, a horrified Gai looked at Naruto. "Now we are even, Gai." And with that said, Naruto`s clone dispelled himself, leaving Gai, in tears, shaking and in such great horror and rage, that no miracle of Youth could potentially bring him back to his normal self.
"Kakashi-sensei, this mist, it`s like…" Sakura had tried to speak up, as she looked around herself, back to back with Sasuke and Kakashi Hatake.
"Yes, it`s just like the one that Zabuza used during our first C-rank mission. Only this mist is even better, much better." Kakashi said, as his Sharingan worked around, trying to find anything in what seemed like a constantly shifting wall of chakra in front of him. "This mist is layered with chakra on such level, that it completely blocks away vision, sounds, smells and even my Sharingan can`t see through it at all. Whatever technique Naruto used here, it makes Zabuza`s Kirigakure look like child`s play."
"Hn, at least the dobe had learned how to hide, like a weakling coward should." Sasuke scoffed, as his brought his hand onto his sword, looking around and trying to find Naruto. "Come on, dobe! What is the matter, are you too afraid to even come face your old team? Well, if you don`t come out, then I`ll simply have to walk towards that home of yours and see what`s so interesting is there, that you`ve decided to stop us in our tracks out here. Who knows, maybe you have some poor whore of a wife that should be begging for an elite like me to…"
"Wrong move, teme." Suddenly, with a shock and terror for all, came a calm and collected voice of Naruto… right behind each of them, just like Zabuza had done on their mission in Wave. "Wind Style: Renkuudan." With that being said, Sasuke flew out of the formation with a speed of a bullet, being carried away by a compressed ball of air carrying him away.
As Sakura stood frozen there in one place, Kakashi`s instincts finally kicked in, as in flash of a second he pulled out a kunai, sending it in his hand backwards, fully intent on taking Naruto. Speed of the famous Copy Ninja was one of the highest in Konoha, behind only Sasuke, Itachi, Gai and Minato Namikaze at various points of time, and he would`ve been successful in capturing Naruto in the transition between one stance to another. However, Naruto had seen the enemies with high speed and knew how to match them, especially considering that he had managed to not just equal but surpass his father`s speed before he turned 20.
One swift block with the back of his armored left hand stopped Kakashi in midflight, while Naruto`s right palm swiftly reached Kakashi`s left side of his head, his fingers glowing with green chakra. In a single swift motion, Naruto`s fingers plunged into Kakashi`s eye socket and with a single pull, Naruto retrieved from Kakashi his most prized possession, his dead friend`s Sharingan.
"ARGH!" Kakashi cried out in pain, as he had just had an eye removed from his head, dropping his kunai instinctively, trying to cover up his bleeding eye socket.
With his hand freed, Naruto`s left hand clenches into a fist, with chakra channeled in it, while his right on moves out of the way. In the next instant, Naruto`s left fist collides with Kakashi`s head, cracking his skull and knocking him unconscious after his nerves had an overload of foreign chakra invading it. As Kakashi`s body hit the ground, Naruto simply sealed it away in a special storage scroll that Naruto had kept for special occasions and items such as this one, now in his possession. As he had done that, Naruto`s cold eyes landed upon shaking Sakura, who had managed to pull a kunai out of her pouch and pointed took a stance to fight him, with Naruto scoffing, though the sound of it was muffed by his mask.
"N-Naruto, h-how c-could you d-do something s-so brutal to Kakashi-s-sensei?!" Sakura screeched in fear, as she was taking steps back, as Naruto was slowly making his way to her. "D-don`t come any closer, y-you monster! S-Sasuke-kun w-will kill you i-if you d-do something to me, you dead last! Y-you are j-just jealous of S-Sasuke a-and everyone, s-so you`ve d-decided that attacking u-us w-will make us a-accept y-you back as e-equal. Well, guess again, loser, because…" Suddenly, Sakura heard a low, slightly throaty laugher coming from Naruto, first it was a little bit quiet, but steadily, it grew into a full blown laughter, seemingly sound throughout the entirety of the forest, scaring Sakura even further, before Naruto spoke up to her.
"Oh, Sakura, Sakura… Do you think I give a fucking damn about what you and the rest of that cavalcade of quirks, double standards and traitors think of me?" Naruto asked of her seriously, with Sakura freezing in her tracks. "I stopped caring for the most of you the day when I exiled from the village, and after I`ve learned how warm and pompous was your greeting of my little brother, why do you think I would even want to go back to that hellhole? To once again become your punching bag, or so that Sasuke-chan would have someone to stab in the back, or chest in my case? After all, his own Genins are nowhere to be now, aren`t they?" Naruto saw the look of shock and surprise on Sakura`s face, as Naruto had clearly shown that he knew of what had happened with Sasuke`s Genin Squad.
"Th-those G-Genins died o-on a mission, wh-when I-Iwa i-intercepted S-Sasuke-kun and…" Sakura had tried to defend her love of life, before Naruto had spoken up again.
"Spare me the lies and excuses that guy told you all." Naruto simply said to her. "I know all about that tragedy, since I`ve been there myself..."
Flashback. A year and seven months ago. Land of Grass.
There had been many terrifying sights that Naruto had seen in his life as a Shinobi and Ronin on service of various Kage, Daimyo and feudal lords and etc. Mizu`s Civil War had provided him with plethora of horrifying and nightmarish sights and images that would be enough to drive mad with fear and dread even some of the toughest persons in Shinobi world. Yet, to Naruto now, it all was just a part of his job back then, nothing more, and learned to not let it get to him.
However, the sight he was seeing now was different from the others, for before Naruto laid not a field of Shinobi skirmish, but what appeared to be a slaughterhouse. On a grassy plain laid six of Iwa`s Shinobi, dead for about a couple of hours. Having worked with Iwa and their Shinobi, Naruto was able to determine that these were Chuunin Shinobi, and a bit of pocketing around revealed that they were on a diplomatic mission to Daimyo of Grass. At first glance it seemed like they were all ambushed by someone laying in the waiting. Naruto`s first picks were either Konoha or Kumo, as those two also competed for the alliance with Grass. And at first, Naruto`s former guess was correct, as he noticed two dead Leaf`s Shinobi, until his careful eye instantly examined them and what he found out first confused, and then horrified them.
The two dead Konoha Shinobi were not Chuunin or Jonins, no. They were Genins, fresh and untested, clearly out of Academy just recently or a year ago, no more or less. One of them was a black haired boy in simple grey shirt and black pants, a civilian most likely, while the other was a girl with lavender short hair, pale eyes, dressed in a beige dress, black shorts and sandals, along with a Curse Mark hidden underneath her headband, showing her as a member of Hyuuga Branch Family. They had backpacks on them with provisions, cloths and more, all signs of a C-rank mission out of Land of Fire. However, what got to Naruto wasn`t the fact that they were dead, but the character of their wounds.
The Iwa`s Shinobi were killed with brutality, stabbing wounds, burns and blackened skin, as well as distinct smell of ozone indicated the usages of sword, Fire Style and Lightning Style on them. Naruto`s mind quickly came up with possible candidates on who could it be: Kakashi Hatake, known user of both elements and sword, but he no longer used one, and Sasuke Uchiha, a now Jonin of Konoha, known for using sword, Fire and Lightning, along with being merciless and brutal to enemies. Having kept an eye out for potentially dangerous Shinobi, Naruto knew it was Sasuke that had done the deed here. And as for the Genins…
The boy was seemingly the first to go down, as his throat was slashed by a sword, his face frozen in shock. The Hyuuga girl was stabbed in the back with what looked like a jab, a clear sign of Chidori, when she tried to run away in fear, laying on the grass face first. However, there were still no solid proof that it was who Naruto thought it was… Until his trained ears hadn`t picked up a coughing sound. Rushing towards it at his full speed, Naruto ran underneath the closest tree in the field, where he found a young girl with light brown hair with green eyes, dressed in a simple dark green shirt and black pants, laying down, with a hand covering a large slashed wound on her stomach. Without any warning Naruto went to her, speaking up to her.
"Don`t worry, I`m not going to hurt." He calmed the paled girl down, carefully moving her hand away from the wound and placing his own hand onto it, beginning to use the Medical Ninjutsu on her. "It`s going to be okay, I promise. I may not be on level of your Hokage, but such wounds are nothing new to me, so you`ll be safe in a few minutes."
"Th-thank you, Mr.…" She spoke up with a weak voice, with Naruto answering her.
"Hanzo. Hattori Hanzo." Naruto answered to her with a calm and soothing voice, applying his Iryo Ninjutsu to heal her internal organs and start the regeneration of tissues. "Whoever did this was clearly crying to kill you and he nearly did it. You must be very determined and strong to have lived. What`s your name, girl?"
"M-Mikoto… Mikoto Sarutobi." Mikoto introduced herself, with Naruto looking carefully at her. "I-I a-am from Konoha… M-My team, a-are t-they…"
"I am sorry, Miko-chan, but they are gone." Naruto could see that the girl didn`t even have the strength to cry, having lost a great amount of blood. "Miko-chan, I know this is very hard for you, but… I`ve examined the battlefield and I know that it wasn`t the Iwa Shinobi that killed your friends. Can you tell me, who was it, and where is your Jonin Sensei?" The Iryo Ninjutsu was working it`s deed on the girl and she was starting to become better and better, as the wound began to heal up completely and color was also returning to her.
"I-It was S-Sasuke-sensei, o-our J-Jonin Sensei…" Miko said with tears, with Naruto suppressing the growl at the sound of that name. "We were on our way t-to Hidden Grass Village, d-delivering a message from Hokage, wh-when we came across these Shinobi of Iwa. Th-they said they had no quarrel with us, a-and allowed to pass by w-without problem, but th-then Sasuke-sensei just… He just k-killed them all. I-It was so fast and brutal I…" Mikoto winced from pain a little.
"Easy there, Miko-chan. Your organs are just starting to work again properly, you only need a lot of rest and some blood transfusion into your system and all will be alright with you." Naruto assure her, as he finally finished with healing. "I know this is very hard for you, so let me guess: after he was done with Iwa Shinobi, he turned against you, didn`t he?" Miko merely gave a weak nod to him.
"Y-yes… F-first he killed Yoshikiri, th-then N-Nana when she tried to run, and th-then he c-caught up to me and… I-I don`t understand, wh-why he would do s-something like that?! W-We were a team for a-a year now, h-he trained, cared for us, h-helped us a-all, a-and th-then… He only said th-that it was s-so that he could gain th-the true power o-of h-his Sharingan!" Mikoto broke down in tears, with Naruto carefully pulling her closer to himself, comforting the girl, while mentally he was raging like a demon.
"Sasuke… I always knew you would end up as worse scumbag than Itachi, but THIS! You are not just worse than scum, you are a cancerous tumor, a leech that feeds of the others and cares only for himself! And now, just so you could get that Mangekyou Sharingan of yours, you went and done this…" Naruto`s blue eyes for a second turned into ones of Kyuubi. "I swear, upon the blood of those poor kids there, the next time we meet, you will pay for betraying them. Forget Itachi, forget Orochimaru and everyone else, you better be ready for me, because now I will send you to your grave with the rest of your Clan!"
Flashback end.
"And believe me- I will make that bastard suffer for what he did to them. I can take trying to kill me, I`m used to it, but to betray your own pupils like that… Now that makes me really mad." Naruto glared at Sasuke`s fan girl, who was shaking in fear at the enormous amount of KI being released by Naruto at this point. "But first, I think I`ll indulge myself in repaying you for all the abuse you`ve caused to me, Sakura-chan." Though Sakura didn`t see it, she could`ve sworn that Naruto had just smiled to her with a sadistic smile, one that even Anko Mitarashi would be proud of, as he began to menacingly make his way to her.
Just as Naruto was about to snatch Sakura by her throat, his trained ear had caught on a distinct sound of birds. Chirping birds, and lots and lots of them. As if a thousand of them was chirping at the same time, the air catching a distinct odor of ozone, as the sound started to become closer and closer by the second. Recognizing the signs and wasting little to no time, Naruto pulled out one of the most essential and fundamental Jutsu in history of Shinobi. In the blink of an eye, Naruto used Kawarimi no Jutsu, and in the spot where he stood originally now stood Sakura, whose right shoulder was now pierced by an arm, which served as conduit for Chidori, with its user glaring at Naruto, who stood behind Sakura with a hateful look in his eyes.
Without even a word, Sasuke pulled his hand out of Sakura`s shoulder and pushed her away from his path, caring not in the slightest that he had just nearly killed her and now she was bleeding profoundly. His main focus now was upon the former block-headed blond Ninja, now turned raven haired Ronin, who already laid his hand on his sheathed left sword.
"A free piece of advice, teme: you want kill someone, make sure that they don`t hear you. Why this Chidori is called an assassination technique is beyond me." Naruto commented, as Sasuke scowled, while Uzumaki looked at his Traitor Mark adorning his right side of face. "I must admit, this little Mark certainly suits you, Sasuke. A fitting Mark for the filth of caliber, though it could use a second one."
"You call me, an Uchiha, filth?" Sasuke arrogantly asked, as he pulled out his sword. "Weren`t you the one to substitute with this pink worthless whore here just now? And what makes you so much better than me?"
"Well, I wouldn`t call Sakura here entirely worthless, at least now that she proved to be useful for something. As for filth, considering my banishment, animosities, bias and etc. I believe I am more than justified in my actions, especially considering how you`ve just invaded my private land and threatened me, so I`m fully entitled to using self-defense." Naruto calmly stated, but not letting go of his glare. "And as for why I am better than you, teme… I have done many, many terrible things, Sasuke. Some of them would make the little cleaning up of your Clan look tame and innocent." Naruto caught a glimpse of hateful glare directed towards him. "But everything that I had done was a part of my job, and all of those actions were either to fasten the ends of conflicts, save lives, prevent wars, or stop a brewing catastrophe. And I`ve never during those missions had turned on my teammates, or more importantly, on the kids that were responsibility, unlike a certain Uchiha filth that stands before me." All that Naruto caught was a smirk of Sasuke, not even a glimpse of regret or sorrow, but pride and arrogance.
"So, that little bitch Mikoto survived. I knew I should`ve burned her with my new power, just to test it out, but I guess I was too sentimental." Sasuke closed his eyes, before opening them and revealing his new eyes, in a pattern of an atom, looking directly at Naruto. "No matter, once I`m finished with you and whoever is in that house of yours, she`ll taste my new power."
"You won`t get to her, I`ve made sure of that, believe me." Naruto simply stated to Sasuke. "Nor will you harm anyone in my home or anybody else for that matter, since I`m finishing up what Itachi couldn`t do." Naruto blasted off of his spot at his full speed, running towards Sasuke to cut him down.
"Don`t even dare to say his name, DOBE! AMATERASU!" Sasuke`s left eye bled, as he sent towards Naruto his most powerful jutsu, the flames of Amaterasu.
Sasuke was already planning to celebrate his victory, when he saw a flash of black and red right before his flames had appeared and began to burn the empty soil, with steam appearing from the contact with the mist. Uchiha avenger began to frantically look around himself, trying to find where Naruto really was, until his voice came from behind him.
"So, this is the infamous Amaterasu of Uchiha Clan? Have to say, not so impressive as I had expected it to be." Sasuke turned around and saw Naruto simply standing there with calm posture and same look on his face. "A fusion of Yinton with Katon, creating a pseudo-Kekkei Tota known as Enton, or Inferno Style. While achieving the creation of Enton itself is nothing short of a miracle and genius of highest praise, to find out that Amaterasu just spawns those flames like that is… kinda lame." Naruto commented, as Sasuke mentally sent his next blast of Amaterasu towards him, only for Naruto once again disappear from the view at the last second.
"Stop playing around and stand still, dobe! You think your little advanced Shunshin will save your neck all the time?!" Sasuke called him out, looking around.
"You think that I am using Shunshin here? Sasuke, Sasuke, you honestly disappoint me…" Naruto spoke up in a mocking tone of voice, staying away from his view. "For a so called 'genius from Uchiha Clan' and favorite student of Kakashi Hatake, I would expect you to recognize the technique that had cost Izuna Uchiha his life at the hands of my ancestor, Tobirama Senju."
"So, you really do use Hiraishin no Jutsu? And did I hear you right? Did you just claim the Second Hokage to be your ancestor?!" Sasuke snarled out, with a chuckle coming from Naruto. "What is so funny, you worthless dobe?!"
"Oh, I am just laughing at how blatantly ignorant and arrogant people can be, Sasuke. After all, it is common knowledge in Konoha now that Minato Namikaze is son of Tsunade Senju, granddaughter of Hashirama Senju and grandniece to Tobirama Senju. I am sure that everyone now and their dog knows about it in Elemental Nations, along with Menma Namikaze being his son, and Naruto Uzumaki, yours truly, being his older brother, from the same father and mother." Naruto explained in a mockingly teaching voice to Sasuke, further aggravating him. "So you see, I am not only great great grandson of Second Hokage, but also a direct descendant of First Hokage, his blood and bones. You know, it`s almost an irony: a Senju is facing against an Uchiha, just like during Sengoku Jidai."
"Your pathetic clan never stood a chance agaisnt the true might of Uchiha, the only reason we even allied with you was out of pity!" Sasuke taunted Naruto. "And Izuna Uchiha was obviously a weakling, to have lost to a Senju so blatantly."
"Then Madara Uchiha was even more of a weakling, having been defeated by my grandfather, while having the might of Kyuubi on his side and true Mangekyou Sharingan on his side." Naruto taunted back to Sasuke, who growled, while Naruto appeared right behind him. "Now, Sasuke, let me demonstrate why Clan Senju was always the one to put your Clan in its place." Sasuke already began to turn, but even his new and improved eyes were unable to see the full series of Naruto`s hand seals. "Enton: Kuroi Goen no Jutsu!" And with that, right out of Naruto`s now opened mouth right towards Sasuke flew out a concentrated stream of pure black fire, more intense than Amaterasu flames that Sasuke had used before.
Being caught of nearly off guard, Sasuke just barely had managed to pull out his most powerful defense and technique in his arsenal. A torso of giant skeleton of purple chakra began to form up, as it had enclosed Sasuke in a protective shell, with skin forming on top of bones and forming a layer of purple chakra around Sasuke, who had expected that whatever trick Naruto had pulled on him would easily be swept away by his ultimate weapon of Uchiha Clan, Susanoo.
But this time, Sasuke`s luck ran thin, as Naruto`s Enton hit the ethereal being with full force and began to drive him back and melt it`s skin and even bones, shocking Sasuke, whose eyes were bleeding, all of his muscles and bones were near the breaking point from the sheer pressure of keeping up the Susanoo active. Yet, Naruto`s Enton was proving it`s enormous strength and power, serving as the example and result of Naruto`s most ambitious and probably one of the greatest feats- achieving theorized by Tobirama Senju Enton and turning it into a reality.
For Naruto and many, there was no mistake in saying that Tobirama Senju was an absolute genius in elemental manipulations and creation of jutsu of all calibers. Many now remember him only as Suiton user, but he really was a master of all 5 elements, being the same level as Hiruzen Sarutobi if not higher, and only outmatched by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. He had created many powerful and feared Jutsu: Hiraishin, Edo Tensei, Shadow Clones and etc. Yet his most ambitious project was left unfinished, which found its way to Great Library of Uzumaki and into hands of Naruto, who took it upon himself to make into reality.
It took Naruto 4 years, over 2000 Shadow Clones, the amount chakra equal to 5 tails from Kurama, along with her guidance, and countless failures to achieve the creation of Enton. The hardest part of creating Enton was finding the right, balanced and focused way to infuse Yinton, or Yin Release, with Katon, Fire Release. And just achieving the usage of Yin and Yang Releases on a consistent is considered a feat equal to that of Kage, and Naruto only managed to pull that off after 2 years of training with Kurama and unlocking his dormant Senju genetics, which held one of the greatest bloodline gifts in entire world and one of the main reasons why Senju Clan was feared as the strongest long before Hashirama Senju was born.
While most of Shinobi are able to use up to two, mostly four chakra natures later on in life, there is always the fact of one or two Chakra Natures being primary, more powerful, and others being secondary, less powerful. Members of Senju Clan were inherently born with ability to use each of 5 elements as primary and could practice all five of them, mastering them and creating jutsu for each of them. And Naruto, just like Tsunade, his father, Tobirama and Hashirama, had that bloodline in him. And with the genetics of Senju came the innate usage of Yang Style, which was much easier for Naruto to master. Yin Style was like a complete opposite for him, but even so, he wouldn`t be Naruto Uzumaki-Senju had he not gained it too. And after that, it was a trial of tries, failures, calculations and precision.
The end result ended up being Naruto using one of the most destructive natures in the world, which couldn`t be stopped by Water Style, even combined with Wind. This elemental nature was the one to put an end to Han and his rebels in Tenko Castle, when he had tried to take over Iwa no Kuni. And while Naruto possessed possibly the largest chakra reserves in all of lands, not counting for Bijuu, Enton was a very costly nature to use. Just the Jutsu he uses now on Sasuke had sapped 1/10 of his full power, and this isn`t even his most powerful Enton technique. Why did Naruto decide to use it here?
He wanted to teach Sasuke Uchiha a lesson, before sending his burning soul out in hell.
Sasuke`s Susanoo wasn`t prepared to deal with a more powerful flame than his own Amaterasu and was quickly being destroyed away. Soon enough, Susanoo had started to disappear and the last wave of black flame caught up to Sasuke, blasting him and going through the mist, before going away at the command of Naruto, needing not for his flames to burn 7 days and nights, but to burn all and everything away. Walking towards Sasuke`s burned up form, Naruto saw that his Enton had managed to burn away Sasuke`s right arm to his elbow, with most of his right side now being covered in third degree burns, with his right side of face also burned to the point of his eye being destroyed, hair gone and ugly scarred tissue appearing. And even then, despite suffering some the worst burns a man could experience, Sasuke was still alive, though barely.
"Apparently, I underestimated the strength of Susanoo`s armor. Now I see why even Tobirama feared this technique." Naruto thought to himself, while outwardly smiling at Sasuke in a mocking way.
"Well, look at the bright side now, Sasuke: with such abominable face, no girl will want to be anywhere near a hundred meters of you, safe for Sakura, maybe." Naruto quipped darkly, as he unsheathed his sword and brought it upwards for the final strike, speaking seriously again. "But you won`t live long enough enjoy the freedom from fan girls. Goodbye, Sasuke." And with that, Naruto let a scowl take place on his face as he sent the sword down upon kneeling and badly burned and injured Sasuke Uchiha.
"Sage Arts: Oodama Rasengan!" Naruto`s eyes widened as he looked upwards and saw a big spiraling ball of chakra going down on him, sent upon him by Jiraiya, who had two small toads on shoulders, suddenly grew a beard and looked more like toad than before.
This time, Naruto had suffer from receiving the strike by Rasengan, growling in pain as felt the spinning sphere attacking him much greater effect than he had expected. For three seconds, Naruto had been pummeled into the ground with the spinning sphere trying to break him down, until he managed to look past the initial pain shock and flashed away from it. Once Jiraiya had hit the ground, Naruto had flashed back in his view, with the mist being sucked way into a special seal, a courtesy of Kushina Uzumaki, who took her stand near Jiraiya with her sword ready.
Naruto let out a frustrated sigh, bordering with growl, as he spit out some blood and discarded the destroyed shitagi over his armor, revealing his armored torso with a dented and damaged back plates yet holding strong. Looking at his godfather and mother, standing in protection of Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi, he thought to himself.
"So, Jiraiya-teme has decided to pull out the Sage Mode on me, though it looks incomplete. Still, had it not been for my armor, I would be dead." Naruto glanced at his mother, noticing her slightly shaking hands. "The stance is one for attack, yet her intent has not been fully formed for battle. Does that woman really think that she can bring me back as her son? Anyway, looks like it`s time to get serious myself here."
"Naruto, that`s bloody enough, you moron!" Jiraiya shouted at him. "Can`t you see that we are trying to help you?! And this is how you greet us?! By attacking and killing your own friends?! Your father must be turning in his grave at how you act towards your village!" At this point, Naruto`s control of emotions and years of repressed anger and fury got out, triggered by the seeming ignorance of these people.
"MY VILLAGE?! Jiraiya, that damned place was a hellhole for me. People had tried to kill me, exploited me and have taken away from me everything that I had!" Naruto shouted out in clear anger at him and everyone else. "Father, sisters, friends, childhood and even my own memories were taken away from by you, that fucking bastard of a Hokage and this bitch that dares to call me her son! I put everything on the line for that hellhole and how did it repay me?! By FUCKING BANISHING ME FOR DOING MY DUTY!"
"Sochi, please, I beg of you to stop! I know that Konoha and its people had hurt you, but you need to put it behind you and come back with me, your mother. Your family and friends, they are all willing and wanting you to come back and forgive it all. I want you to come back, Sochi, so please…" Kushina had tried to plead to Naruto, but it was unsuccessful.
"You? Who the hell do you think you are to ask anything of me?! You abandoned me on the same day I was born, just because I had whiskers and you saw not my eyes, but the eyes of Kyuubi when it was sealed in me, unlike your precious little Menma!" Naruto shouted back at his biological mother. "Don`t forget about that bounty you put on me as well. Had you really been my mother, you wouldn`t see me as anything but your son, but no… And as for family and home, both are right here, where I stand to protect them, from you!" Naruto positioned himself with his house seen right behind him, as he let his two katanas fall onto the ground, ready to summon his true weapon.
"Your family and home is Konoha and its people, Naruto, not some clueless girl you`ve managed to hook up and pretend to marry!" Jiraiya shouted out, with Naruto`s KI intensifying. "We`ve only done what was best for Konoha, always! Just like your grandfathers would`ve done before Sarutobi-sensei and your father would`ve done as well! You duty, no, your destiny is to be the Shinobi of Konoha and live in there, to uphold the legacy your families have left for us. And we will make you uphold them, like it or not, and nothing will deter us from it! Now, stop being such a brat and come quietly, and maybe we`ll put a good word for Tsunade after all that you have done here to your friends here. I`ll even let you sign the Toad Contract back and teach you Sage Arts with your brother."
"Yes, Naruto-boy, come back to Konoha and let go of your anger for it. It`s time you looked past it and embraced your fate, as one of Children of Prophecies." The green small toad said directly to Naruto, sitting on Jiraiya`s shoulder. "You and your brother are destined to change this world, so…"
"Embrace my fate? My destiny and duty?!" Naruto shouted at them, as his chakra began to become visible all over his body, without traces of Kyuubi`s power included. "Prophecies, fates, destinies and all this crap… They are for blind fools that are unable to see past their own nose and arrogant believes. And that Village, my father, my grandfather and granduncle would rather kill themselves than see what it became! A cesspool of corruption, power hungry Civilians, eying up for only money, influence and led by their greed, with Shinobi Council`s warmongering ways, building up more and more power, thinking that it would keep the peace through enforcement, when in reality it will only unite those that fear and hate Konoha for its misdeeds. And on top it all off, hypocrisy, treachery, betrayal and sacrifice of its Shinobi so that this atrocity known as Konoha could stand strong! That is not the Will of Fire that you preach! This is the Will of Darkness, where few sacrifice many for their own personal needs, like Danzo, Hiruzen, and that damned Council, just to keep up the appearances! And you want me to go back there, to bring my family in there, the place that had taken away all I had and cared for?! Think again! Zangetsu!"
And with this shout, in Naruto`s right arm appeared a sheathed long katana, with black handle without tsuba, which he immediately unsheathed, revealing black as night blade. Kushina looked shocked at that sword, instantly recognizing it, as Naruto swung it around and readied it for the fight.
"S-sochi, h-how… Where did you get that sword? D-do you know what sword is that?! It`s…" Kushina shouted at Naruto, who answered her.
"Zangetsu, the relic of Uzumaki Clan and the sword of one of its founders, Masamune Senju. It was passed down to each Head of the Clan throughout generations, a symbol of true Master of Uzumaki Clan, with its last user being my grandfather, Shingen Uzumaki, The Tiger of Uzu." Kushina flinched at the mention of her father`s name. "You may claim that Menma is the Head of Uzumaki Clan in Konoha, but the true Leader of Uzumaki is the one who holds this sword, and you know it, Uzumaki Kushina. And with this blade, I will uphold Uzumaki`s and Senju`s most sacred tenet: Stand by your family and protect it with your life, for it shall stand by you and protect you in return."
"Naruto, if you don`t stand back, I`ll use my full power to bring you down and beat you into your senses!" Jiraiya warned him as he took his position. "I knew that Sarutobi-sensei shouldn`t have allowed you so many freedoms! You were always the weaker one of the twins, to fall under Kyuubi`s influence like that!"
"Sochi, it must be Kyuubi blinding you! Don`t listen to its words! It had corrupted and blinded Mito-baa-chan with its words, all just so it could gain control over its Jinchuriki, pretending to be a friend to its host! But I did not fall for it, nor did Menma, and I know you can be free of it too, just come with us!" Kushina tried to reason with her son in hopes of getting her family back, but instead she saw how Naruto`s chakra stated to become white and his hair were starting to move upwards.
"Enough talk with you two. This time, I`ll be serious, so prepare yourselves, for this is my full power." The white aura around his body began to intensify and it looked like his hair was starting to become silver or white. "Senju Hidden Jutsu: Migatte no…"
Just as Naruto was ready to unleash his fullest power, suddenly in front of him, Kushina and Jiraiya appeared a massive wall made of the pink crystals, blocking the passage for both side to engage. Naruto understood what this meant and discharged channeling his chakra, as he turned to his right, as did Jiraiya and Kushina, seeing nine persons walking towards them, as the wall of crystals dispelled between them. In front of the group walked Tsunade Senju, the Fifth Hokage and a very angered woman at the moment, followed by her student Shizune, holding Tonton in her hands, while flanked from left and right by Kurenai, Hinata, Shino, Anko Mitarashi and Uzuki Yugao, whom Naruto knew from times in Konoha, while the two that stood right at Tsunade`s sides were also known and close to him, but he meet them during his time as Ronin.
The first one was a beautiful young woman in a green kimono with a white flower on its left side. She had black eyes and dark ashen colored hair, tied up in a similar to Anko tail, but with two bangs on her sides of head. She once was Orochimaru`s most deadly assassin and one of his most prized lieutenants, until 5 years ago she hadn`t ran into one Naruto Uzumaki during his time in Mizu, where he managed to open up her eyes on Orochimaru and practically save her from under his thumb. After staying with him and helping him in ending the bloody civil war, she and another one of former Orochimaru`s 'pets' went to Konoha, to begin a new life as Tsunade`s personal guard and advisor agaisnt Orochimaru. Her name is Guren, the holder of near extinct Shouton, the Crystal Release.
At Tsunade`s left stood a young girl dressed in a dark red sleeveless dress, showing off her impressive figurine and reaching behind to her tailbone, while her flat stomach was open, with black shorts and black sandals, with a swirl symbol on her back. She had vibrant red long slightly spiky hair and red pupilless eyes, with glasses put on. She was someone whom Naruto found by sheer luck and possibly even providence, as she was one of the survivors of his mother`s clan, Uzumaki, and a pureblood no less. Saving her from clutches of Orochimaru and showing her a way to become strong on her own, she embraced her new life in Konoha as the new apprentice of Tsunade Senju, as well as self-taught strongest sensor in Leaf and one of the top sealing experts in Hi no Kuni. Karin Uzumaki, a very distanced cousin to Naruto Uzumaki and one of his most loyal and closest friends, alongside Guren, and one of the few Uzumaki that Naruto can count as his family.
Seeing this entire group, Naruto couldn`t help but smirk, as he sealed back his sword and put back his katanas, while Jiraiya and Kushina paled at the look of Tsunade and her Honor Guard, alongside with Kurenai, Hinata and Shino. Tsunade quickly accessed the situation and the status of Konoha`s Shinobi in here, scowling in rage at what must`ve transpired here. Without hesitation she summoned up Katsuyu and spoke up.
"Katsuyu, divide and get to everyone who is injured here and begin treating their wounds and injuries! Karin, Shizune, Hinata, I want you two to heal everyone who isn`t dead!" Tsunade immediate ordered around without hesitation.
"At once, Lady Tsunade!" Katsuyu immediately went into division, as the said Kunoichi went to do their duties, whilst Fifth Hokage turned to face the only standing members of this group.
"Tsunade, l-look we c-can explain this all… A-and l-look, there is Naruto! Alive and kicking, and hurting all of us here by being…" Jiraiya had already turned off his Sage Mode, with both frogs going back to their home, when Tsunade had delivered a powerful punch in his gut, nearly destroying his stomach.
"Jiraiya, do you take me for a fucking idiot?! Not only did you, Kushina, Kakashi and all others go behind my back with this unsanctioned mission, but you even dared to defy the direct orders of your Hokage at not engaging Hanzo Hattori, at all costs!" Tsunade picked Jiraiya by one hand and threw him onto the ground, before stomping onto his manhood, nearly destroying his balls. "And don`t even try to tell me what had gone down here. Shino, Kurenai and Hinata already informed about you effectively being ready to force Naruto back into Village, without my knowledge or orders! He was well within his rights to defend himself here and his family too, so as far as I see it, this was an unsanctioned mission with you, Kushina and other Senior Jonin with everyone else here suffering for it. Karin, what`s the status?!"
"Lady Tsunade, most of them are alive. Chouji was in Genjutsu, while Shikamaru was placed into a paralysis through acupuncture, but I removed the senbon from him accurately, so he`ll make a full recovery soon. Ino has a cracked skull, several ribs broken and a concussion, but nothing beyond Katsuyu and our abilities. Asuma Sarutobi is seriously injured in torso and head, but Hinata and Shizune are working on him, so he will probably live. Tenten and Neji were put to sleep through a sleeping poison, which was laced upon senbons, as for Lee… His spine has been severed, with a blade and surgical precision, so he won`t be able to walk, even with our assistance. Sasuke Uchiha has third degrees burns, loss of arm below elbow, right eye and needs serious attention right now. Sakura has a stabbing wound in her shoulder from what appears to be Chidori, with Katsuyu and me on it, while Kakashi is missing a Sharingan and had his nervous system shut down. The only KIAs are Kiba Inuzuka and his ninken Akamaru." Karin quickly informed Tsunade of what she had gathered from Katsuyu and her own Shadow Clones that worked here already, while Anko, Kurenai and Yugao stood shocked at hearing it.
"Holy fucking Kami… Gaki certainly didn`t mess around, but to take down all of them alone… Naruto, just how strong did my little brother get without his sis?" Anko thought to herself, looking at a new look of her surrogate brother. "Damn, he was cute when he was little and blond, but now… Though I`ll miss the whiskers, the black suits him damn well. Hell, he`s grown into one hot damn walking lady killing machine right there!" Anko admitted to herself with a healthy blush upon her face.
"Naruto, my little boy… If only I hadn`t trusted Asuma and his father… I know I should be angry for Kiba, but I knew what crimes he committed, and I am sure you had your reasons to do what you had to, especially considering that you defended your home here." Kurenai with a tingle of sadness looked at her former adopted son. "I hope we get to talk, if you really do remember me and Anko… You`ve grown so much, I really wish I could`ve done more to you…"
"Naruto-kun, to think that a blond helpless boy I had protected for such a long time had grown into such a strong and fine man… Even though you`ve crossed blades with my fellow Shinobi, I understand that you were within your right to defend yourself and your home here." Yugao admitted mentally, looking at him. "Not a trace of fatness, or scars of the past... You must`ve tried to put behind what Konoha has done to you, yet here it comes again in your life. I hope you can forgive those that deserve it, Naruto-kun."
"Asuma, Sakura and Sasuke are near death, Lee is crippled for good this time, and Kiba Inuzuka is dead… When I get back to Konoha, that damn Council will better have their graves dug out, since this is the last time I`m allowing them to send Konoha`s sons and daughters to die like that!" Tsunade raged on, taking a glance at Naruto. "Naruto… As Hokage, I should be furious, but seeing what Village has become, makes me only sad. Still, when it comes down to protecting Yasaka, Masamune and your wives, you aren`t exactly to hold back, so I`m actually surprised we have such low casualties… You must`ve known I would be on my way here."
"Tsunade, can`t you see?! My Sochi is right over there and he refuses to…" Kushina had tried to argue, but she was met with a death glare from her mother-in-law.
"Kushina, one word from that mouth of yours, and there will be one more KIA here. I`ve had it with your demands, Menma`s arrogance and with how you dishonor my son, may he rest in peace. Out of my sight, both of you! I`ll deal with you later!" Tsunade ordered them both, while she moved closer to Naruto, her features relaxing a little bit. "Were you expecting me to arrive?"
"Yup, which is why I had my Shadow Clones to overwrite the Barrier." Naruto explained, relaxing himself, letting his anger go away. "Well, the cat is out of the bag now, Kaa-chan. And all it took just shy and kind Hinata to blurt it out, after seeing my chakra… Just my luck."
"Heh, try and live with my luck, then tell me how it feels." Tsunade and Naruto shared a laugh at this one. "How are Yasaka-chan and Masamune-kun? Are they healthy, nothing is wrong, do they have enough of healthy food and…" Tsunade immediately went into her 'Baa-chan' mode, as Matatabi and Naruto liked to call it.
"Yes, they are fine and well. Kura-chan makes sure that they eat only the healthiest and freshest of foods and vegetables. She takes it more seriously than me loving Ramen." Naruto saw a smile appear on Tsunade`s face. "They are sleeping for now, but would you like to stay for the night? They will be happy to see you, and Yasaka especially has been missing her Baa-chan. We don`t have enough room for all out here, but should have enough space for you, Kurenai, Anko, Karin and Guren, but others…"
"They`ll manage, don`t worry, Naruto. And yeah, I`ll stay for the night." Tsunade agreed. "In fact, there is something I would like to discuss with you and your wives, Naruto-kun. I remember the deal and my promise I have made to you all those years ago, but… There is no sugar coating something like that."
"I take it you have some kind of mission for me, Kaa-chan?" Naruto asked of her.
"Yeah, and not just any kind of mission, Sochi." Tsunade said to him with a breath. "I need you to come back to Konoha with me to save it."
Phew… This is one heck of a long chapter, but you guys deserved it. You are just incredible and I love the support you all showed to me. Also, I am really sorry it had taken me that long to put it out. I had some serious personal issues to deal with, something very, very personal and serious, so I needed all the time I to deal with it. I hope you can understand that while I do plan to continue my work on Naruto here, there is also my real life and it just had some major turbulences. However, now things are calming down, and I should be able to post more chapters.
Btw, I know that this type of stories has been done through and through, with many things here being cliché as hell, like with bashing characters, Fem!Kurama, strong Harem girls, etc. I know it, I`ve read stories about it too, but let us be honest here: this is the largest fandom on all of , with over 400K stories in here. Chances are, whatever you are writing has already been used up in other stories, so please do not hate me for using clichés. I am trying to make story original, but it`s also how I see it for myself. I`m not beyond taking suggestions and welcome it, but I do not like a blatant hating for using clichés, writing what you see as cliché and all that. This is my story, so please respect my work here and do not be senseless haters, it doesn`t become of you.
Also, I am very, very sorry to all of my DxD readers and followers, and I hope you can all understand. However, I have been doing DxD for so long, that I`m starting to run thin on it, so I am taking a break away from it, for at least three weeks, a month tops. I know that I have so many discontinued stories and I shouldn`t abandon them, but I`m simply tired of DxD and need a break from it for now. I know that many of you will rage out on me, but I hope you can understand me and bear with me. I want to focus up on my new story for now, a new setting and world. Again, I am deeply sorry and I hope you can forgive me and my negligence. I promise that I did not forget my main readers` base and I will be back, with more chapters and possibly a finale for Rise of Devil Emperor, for long last.
Now, onto the chapter itself and some of its details, so that you may not confuse yourself. But, if you have further questions, feel free to ask.
First up, Naruto using Iryo Ninjutsu and medical knowledge. He has learned it while in Uzushiogakure, with his Shadow Clones and talent for it from his grandmother, Tsunade. He isn`t on her level, but he is on the same level as Shizune for sure and has experience using it, having saved people in Mizu`s Civil War with it. As for poisons, acupuncture and senbons, Naruto has spent 3 years in Mizu, closely working with Kiri`s Anbu, so he was bound to learn a thing or two.
Next up, Genjutsu. I know that Genjutsu requires a very strong Chakra Control to use it and it`s also a Yin Release. So, how did Naruto do it, considering he has so much chakra that it makes some Bijuu jealous? The answer is that he has learned how to fragment and separate his physical and spiritual chakra, using Spiritual Chakra to cast Genjutsu. Was it difficult for Naruto? Absolutely, and he can`t make a simple Bunshin yet, but he doesn`t need to.
Next, Magen Kirigakure no Jutsu. Essentially a modified version of Zabuza`s favorite Jutsu, only this one is capable of blocking a vision of Byakugan and Sharingan, as they see chakra clearly, as well as block sound waves. Sound, according to physics, travels through air particles, and this Jutsu blocks those particles, making so that sounds weren`t heard by people far away. Requires at least twice as much chakra as the original jutsu, but the effect is much better than that of the original.
Next up, Hirazuki and Gatotsu. Those two are taken from one very good anime from the nineties. Those that know which anime I mean, do please write in Reviews. Also, Shinsengumi and Tokugawa were taken from real life history of Japan, and more will be explained about them in the future. I also plan to flash out the distinct attributes of every nation in the world, not just Hidden Villages. In anime and manga, we didn`t get much of what makes those countries culturally unique, and I don`t mean Hidden Villages. No I talk about countries themselves and their whole populace. We need more of that, as well as more of Daimyo`s role in it all.
Next up, Hiraishin. Why does Naruto teleport around the place without markers like his father and Tobirama did in the past? It will be explained in the next chap, but quick answer: it is a type of extremely powerful Fuinjutsu used up here.
Next up, Enton. Yeah, yeah, I know that it is only achieved by Sasuke and Itachi through using Amaterasu. Well, I am not an expert on Naruto world and all its aspects, but here is how I see it working out. Amaterasu is a Katon Ninjutsu, but it`s black flames do certainly have something in it. Yinton is used in Genjutsu and is used to make the imagined thing a reality, and I believe that its application into real life jutsu can be used effectively. It is used by Nara with their Shadow Possession, but it`s not a Kekkei Genkai (I`ve checked it on Wiki). So would it be beyond Naruto to try and create a working Enton? Nope, extremely hard and difficult, but not impossible. It is extremely powerful, but also extremely costly, since just one Jutsu took 1/10 of Naruto`s full reserves of chakra. And remember, it is Naruto Uzumaki we are talking about, at his physical highest pique and with possibly the largest chakra reserves on the planet, among humans.
Last up for now, that last jutsu and sword that Naruto took out. Well, I think it`s pretty obvious from where I borrowed it, but do feel free to tell in the reviews where it came from. Also, no, I didn`t watch Bleach, and no, that isn`t the same Zangetsu or Zanpakuto or whatever you may think. It is a completely different and my personal thing I made, not a Bleach thing. And yes, I know you will compare it to Bleach, since there a lot of fans of it out there. I know about it only what I saw in Death Battle episode of Naruto VS. Ichigo.
Now, things about Sasuke should be pretty self-explanatory, but feel free to ask about it, while for Kiba… I never liked that mutt, but his story will be revealed later on.
Also, for this story to continue, Naruto will go to village, but he won`t forgive it or anyone in there. Why and how will he cope with it, will be revealed in the next chapter. Also, do not start angry reviewing that I make it all cliché and everyone had done it, with me being just a worthless piece of crap. I know that it`s cliché, but like I said earlier: what isn`t a cliché or used up trop in here, the biggest fandom of this site? Let`s be nice to each other here.
Now, Karin and Guren are also in here and they are close to Naruto. I like Karin, though her fan girl antics did give me Sakura vibes, but here she is cool, really cool, while Guren is simply Guren, but on light side. And I do consider Karin, Guren, Kurenai, Anko and Yugao for harem too, along with Mei. I have changed my mind on things regarding it, so sorry.
Also, I am not someone who has the profound knowledge of Japanese language, so sorry that you have to see me swap from English to Japanese words, but I hope you can tolerate it. I will try and use Japanese names where I can, but there will be spots where I have no alternative, so bear with me. Thank you for understanding.
