was no stranger to pain it had been his one companion throughout his life from the blows he had suffered at the hands of the orphanage workers to the constant abuse he suffered at sakur Chan's hands so why did it hurt so much when she ignored him for Sasuke once again even though he had fought sanin and almost died to bring bachan to heal them Naruto was walking down the streets of koha his hands lazily tucked inside his voluminous jacket and his eyes slided against the glare of the Sun a random passer by would never notice anything was bothering him though Naruto thought bitterly nobody would notice even if he was suddenly missing an arm contrary to popular belief that Naruto was annoyingly cheerful Naruto often sulked if not outright brooded what made him different from other career broers was the simple fact that he never let anybody see him in the ACT today though as he left the koha general hospital he found himself far too preoccupied to bother with what others saw of him Sakura would probably never know how much heartache and introspection she had caused by the simple and by now almost instinctual Act of ignoring Naruto trying to wrap his mind around the strange feelings of Abandonment that had decided to plague him today Naruto didn't pay any attention to his surroundings until he almost had a very intimate meeting with a tree sufficiently brought out a funk he took notice of his surroundings only to let out a bitter giggle of course his feet would come here when he was thinking about the possible Folly he had committed in even entering the Ninja Academy this was where his journey had truly begun after all where he had taken down the traitor Mizuki this was the place where he had accepted the duties of a ninja of koha where he had officially become a ninja now almost 8 months later he found himself questioning his decision to become a Shinobi of the leaf after all the young him had wanted to become a ninja as a means of recognition pining for the kind of acknowledgement that a ninja got in the leaf Village well he had had that notion quickly corrected a jenin Naruto was even less welcome around koha than an Academy student Naruto and as a jennin he was forced to interact with the very villagers who routinely sneered and belittled him the first days as a jenin he had held on to some hope that his team would at least accept him he had been proven wrong soon enough Naruto had no Illusions about Sasuke as the boy had said in his introduction he was a person who would never let himself get close enough to a person to be considered anyone's friend and to be honest Naruto thought he really did not want to try in addition to his Holier the now approach towards him his very existence was a constant reminder of what Naruto didn't have and seeing him waste the Goodwill of koha left a bad taste in his mouth Kakashi had once been his hero when he had protected him from the shadows as an Anu really did he think that Naruto wouldn't identify his scent but ever since his appointment a Sensei of Team 7 it had waned along with the tolerance at his bad excuses Naruto acknowledged that he may fundamentally be a good person but he was a terrible teacher but he would have let that go after all he wasn't the worst teacher he had Mizuki came to mind if not for the obvious favoritism to the resident Broody AA of the team when he had pawned Naruto off to the aul poser called ebisu he had cracked the final bit of gratitude that had kept Naruto from grouping him with the others who Bel him Naruto closed his eyes as he laid down on a horizontal branch that protruded from a nearby tree and he sighed by logical progression the next person would be Sakura but it hurt to think about her Naruto still remembered the shy little girl that he had watched from a distance at the park too afraid even then of rejection and ridicule to go and talk but still longing to help her with the bullying she got from her classmates then he had not stepped in afraid of the parents reaction to seeing him with their children but that guilt he had carried with him for a long time that was what had led him to talk to her in the academy and asked to be her friend in the only way he knew how which was the way he had observed people become friends in the parks around koha of course now he knew that what he had observed was a boy asking a girl to a date but at the moment the only thing he had noticed was the way the girls face lit up and the hugs and affection the couple had shared being rather starved for attention he had longed for that so in a fit of recklessness he had charged in after the academy had finished asking the pretty Sakura Chan to a date he clearly remembered the ridicule that little Outburst brought upon him when Sakura used her ridicule of him as a stepping stone to enter into the elite group at the Academy after that it had become a matter of Pride to him after all if he could get the popular Sakura to be his friend surely he would get accepted now looking back at his reasons for chasing after her friendship it felt so Hollow so baseless so deceptive but that was not a problem in fact it was almost a relief to finally be rid of that Yol tying him down however parad toxically it was exactly this that bothered him the most haku's words in the forest kept reverberating in his mind when a person has someone important to protect that when they can become truly strong now that the others in team seven were officially personing angr to him he found himself wondering what he had to tie himself down to konoha the old man was dead and even before his death Naruto had been unsure of his intentions and rather Ley of opening himself to him after the QB secret had been revealed it hurt wondering whether the only man man who had been kind to him had done that with a ulterior motive in mind but it was something he could not help pondering whenever he thought back to those early Ramen runs surely the hok did not do that with all orphans excluding them the only people he had any connection to were the auraku Ia and Karu all of them had ulterior motives for his acquaintance with the old man pushing IA into socializing with him the ichiraku gaining a significant portion of their income via him and kenon maru's own Pride still they stuck with him and for that he would be thankful Naruto sighed introspection was tiring work he thought as he absent-mindedly tapped the branch below him an ominous crack echoed through the clearing making Naruto look up in alarm the place he was tapping on the branch had given way revealing a layer of older bark that was lit up by a strange seal Arcane characters lit up in ominous Crimson a seal what was a seal doing in an ordinary tree branch and how in the world had it activated Naruto instinctively jumped off the branch half expecting the tree to explode in a burst of flames however as soon as his hand left the branch the glowing seals dimmed the light softly pulsing as opposed to glaring hastily searching for some explanation for the sudden unexplained activation he suddenly noticed that the blood from when his fingernails had been driven into his palms was still coating his hands could the seal have been activated by his blood no that was impossible he told himself as he approached the gently pulsing seal now certain that it wouldn't explode instead he carefully crept near the strange seal carefully analyzing it seals had always been a point of interest to Naruto he seemed to have an instinctive understanding of the subject in fact he would probably have been at the top of the class in the ceiling introductory class at the Academy if it hadn't been for hosi Sensei who had hated his guts later on he had looked them up whenever he could until the old man had heard of his interests how he knew Naruto would never know and visited his apartment making him promise to stop studying F and Jutsu for reasons he wouldn't explain Naruto had needed a whole week of all you can eat ramen before he had agreed still Naruto still occasionally dabbled in the study of the esoteric art and therefore he could tell just by looking at the seal that it was a work of art the Seal's base Matrix was somewhat unusual being a helico base that was covered up using a spiral design concealment Cipher the design itself looked old but that particular Arrangement was one Naruto had seen before on the protective seals woven into the massive wooden walls surrounding the village however that was not the most intriguing part of the puzzle as far as Naruto was concerned that honor belonged to the activation sequence of the seal there at the very center of the helico base was an ink circle surrounding the kanji self family and blood linked by a combination Rune the ink Circle was surrounded by rings and rings of Arcane script that detailed restrictions on what the containment seal for this obviously was one would release this was what had Naruto so puzzled and in a small part of his mind hopeful that this ceiling structure was on the barrier that it has been around for some time but it hadn't even been mentioned in passing in any of the beginner sealer scripts that he had stolen that meant that it was probably a clan style but with the activation sequence only allowing a blood relative of the sealer to activate the seal Naruto looked at the glowing seal with an increasing sense of wonder all the evidence pointed to one conclusion whoever this clan was he had found a familial connection with the growing excitement Naruto continued to peruse the strangely complex seal there was the relay the storage seal the inhibitor seal an identification seal a shock seal Naruto shuddered in sympathy those seals hurt furthermore there was a plea to the guardian spirits and an emergency total unseal Naruto barely managed to stifle his yell of Triumph even if the blood seal part had been unlocked it had been an overall locking mechanism that concealed the very presence of the seal typically unlocking it contents would have required an activation password that was obviously out of his reach sure it was still possible to contain the sealed items by nullifying the seal itself but that would require seal work far beyond his comprehension currently his strength was in analyzing seals not creating them he could barely make a successful exploding tag however the emergency unseal provided an out the emergency unseal worked on a simple principle blood and password however it differed from the others in that the password had to be specified in the seal structure itself in kanji therefore any person with a relatively good knowledge of seals could open the seal if they had managed to open the blood seal grinning infectiously Naruto bit his own finger pressing on it until a drop of blood formed on the pad of his finger using this he carefully wrote the kanji 4 Blood on the center of the designated empty runic Circle an ethereal pulse of golden chakra spread throughout the forest with Naruto barely managing to cling onto the branch due to his instinctual use of chakra suddenly the forest was unnaturally silent then the pop of a storage seal unsealing echoed along with the customary puff of chakra smoke as the smoke blew away a large Beed scroll was visible to Naruto's hungry gaze it was precariously balanced on the branch along with another smaller plain scroll even as Naruto scrambled to catch the scroll before it hit the ground he was puzzled by the appearance of the scroll why go to all that trouble just to seal a scroll it was not as if the seal could have contained anything else the emergency unseal essentially short circuited the dimension stability component in the storage causing anything stored in the other mention to manifest in the material world he was abruptly interrupted as his hand closed on the smaller scroll as when his skin touched the scroll it caused a sudden suctioning effect on his chakra causing him to stumble on his Landing landing on his tailbone with a Lurch the suctioning was getting worse Naruto was not the most chakra sensitive ninja in koha and his skill in internal chakra manipulation was just short of horrible but even he could sense his chakra output surge out of his control inexorably pulled towards the insatiable scroll stuck in his left hand he could dimly feel the larger more ornate scroll roll away from his thrashing body but he couldn't muster enough strength to go after it the surroundings were getting duller to the senses the world was spinning and his body was racked with violent cramps he faintly recalled IA Sensei described these symptoms as those of severe chakra depletion but at that time he had not really listened to it those days he had considered himself far too awesome to succumb to something as plebian as chakra exhaustion and later his tenant had made sure that he was never Rel short of it for some reason though this time the Cub was not supplying chakra as he normally would Naruto whimpered as he curled himself into a ball violent Tremors overcoming his body as the scroll continued to resist his attempts to remove it he could feel that he was close to unconsciousness and he all but welcomed it suddenly he was feeling even more disorientated as the chakra that had been siphoned away from the body began to flow back into the body from the scroll it was a strange feeling part sudden relief as if a muscle he had not realized eyes was tensed had suddenly relaxed and part uncomfortable pressure as he often got when he gorged on Ramen the scroll was still firmly stuck to his hand and the flow of chakra was not showing signs of lessening when he took a closer look at the small scroll Naruto's eyes widened in disbelief at the site the once plain red cap scroll was crawling in minute golden symbols kanji and Katakana mixed with several types of ancient hieroglyphs that Naruto had only seen in passing and they were moving replicating morphing in a perpetually shifting pattern that baffled the eye that was just not possible Naruto may have not been the most dedicated scholar but he took ceilings seriously and according to what he had learned the very principles of the art dictated that it was simply impossible to form a self-updating array just what was this scroll the worst part was now that he could think again he realized that it was inadvisable to remove the scroll until whatever it did was complete otherwise seeing as it was directly connected to his chakra Network it might damage his chakra coils enough to render them incapable AP able of molding chakra and that was possibly the last thing he wanted to do his muscles protested his attempts to get up and he rolled over onto his back in disgust holding the hand stuck to the scroll in front of him he could see the large scroll caught in the underbrush and the Setting Sun through the canopy of the Treetops staring at the scroll got old pretty fast Naruto noted after staring blly at the irritating object for close to quarter of an hour his spewing of curses had finished a few minutes ago when he had run out of expletives to use for the scroll the golden script covering the scroll had begun to pulse its glow ebbing and flowing with his pulse there was a persistent itch on his lower back that was annoying the hell out of him he was feeling supercharged from the excess chakra in his coils and his muscles still felt like limp noodles attached to his limbs rendering any immediate plans of relocation moot the rhythmic movement of the glowing script was slowly increasing in speed slowly building up to a crescendo he could feel his chakra flowing through the coils mimic it flowing agitated through his coils building momentum whatever the scroll was going to do it was going to happen soon in spite of himself the anticipation was getting to him along with a hitherto unknown emotion fear the flowing morphing symbols were hypnotic as was the feeling of the chakra flowing within his body however the itch was getting ever more insistent the Primal tribal Rhythm reached the Apex the golden script lighting up like a miniature Sun Naruto was readed in a bluish chakra Aura as it crashed into the walls of his chakra coils and waves and waves of pressure Naruto's blood was singing in his ears his body seemed ready to itself apart the itch suddenly escalated transforming into a blinding pain Naruto's eyes widened as pain speared into his lower back along with a sudden snapping sound that made him fear for his bones a suddenly blank scroll fell from his nerveless fingers as he was propelled upwards by an unknown object pressing harshly into his lower back coming to an abrupt stop suspended about 6 ft above ground Naruto looked around in alarm to find that the surrounding was crisscrossed with thick cable like golden chain that seemed somehow insubstantial they formed a bow-shaped grid around him and it was obvious that it was what was holding him suspended well this wasn't what I expected to see a cultured female voice spoke from behind him laced with a hint of amusement Naruto turned instinctively the chains holding him up subconsciously aiding him only to come face to face with the woman who had spoken the woman looked to be in her early 30s dressed head to toe in white her Crimson hair was fashioned into twin buns at the sides of her head and held there with several B while an intricate seal stood in the center of her forehead but that was not what was concerning Naruto right now instead all his concerns were centered on the fact that the woman in question was translucent Naruto could make out the outlines of the tree trunks behind her through her torso even as she tilted her head to look at him curiously gig ghost with a terrified scream Naruto instinctively thrust his hands forward the chains following the motion as four large chains with sharpened hooks for ends speared into the form of the Ethereal woman as they passed harmlessly through the figure Naruto could feel his chakra getting sapped again W what a Yu he managed to stutter before his body gave up on him and he collapsed in a heap out cold Naruto woke up to the sound of bird song slowly opening his crusted eyes he got up from his uncomfortable position on the ground he paused to make a face in discuss soil did not taste good especially in the morning before he could brush his teeth he would know he had checked now what had he done this time to sleep in the woods Naruto would was used to sleeping in the woods in fact he had slept in them consistently for over a year between his forced ejection from his childhood home the orphanage of Western koha and him being found by a kind old man who gave him the apartment he lived in now he still slept in the woods from time to time when the pressures of living with people who hated him got to him or when he wanted to cause some destruction in order to let out his feelings cathartically without doing something drastic like punching Sasuke's smug face in training himself to exhaustion just to get rid of his feelings was nothing new to him though he had cut back recently this must have been the first time he did it since his meeting with Haku in the woods of Nami no Kuni idly looking at the sky he found that it was exceptionally early it was only 6:00 a.m. Kakashi Sensei did not come to the training grounds till well past 11 which left him with almost 5 hours till the team met in a way he was glad he was not eager to meet his team right now with the wound of his rejection still fresh looking around the clearing for any stray canai he may have used throwing canai were an incredible way to relieve stress he found an OD sight a Beed scroll cap peeking from the underbrush that triggered his memory of what had happened here in a Flash he was pulling the scroll out of the bushes holding it almost reverently between his hands as he examined it it was real it was something that was entirely his something belonging to his family with Trembling Hands he reached to pry it open I wouldn't do that if I were you Naruto turned around in Surprise coming face to face with the speaker who was pale translucent dressed in an a pure white long sleeved kimono and looked like a noble woman not that Naruto was particularly concentrating on that he was firmly rooted in the translucent part of the observation gig ghost in emotion that looked inherently strange in an incorporeal being The Wraith winced putting translucent hands in front of translucent torso in the Universal instinctive warding gesture Naruto was having real trouble getting over the translucent part then she spoke her voice was soft and quiet yet firm and cultured and she seemed quite cross with him I'm getting a sense deu she s you know for a novice you wield those infernal chains of yours pretty well though that doesn't mean you should spear them through me Gigi ghost augusty S escaped the ghost's lips you know for an Uzumaki you're unusually timid she paused and repetitive very repetitive hey who are you calling timid datab Bao the taunt got Naruto's attention but a split second later he remembered what he was speaking to please don't eat me or do anything else why you Gigi ghosts do I'm not a ghost the ghost refuted hotly Naruto wordlessly pointed towards her body the ghost looked down only to scream at her see-through body after recovering from her abrupt scream which had not consisted of him screaming his head off and running up a tree Naruto looked at the ghost to find her interestedly prodding at her own body and muttering to herself it looks like the visibility array malfunctioned you know though the solidity array works pretty well as well as the the Aging seal she prodded her own body again before shrugging you know I am a genius Naruto looked on open mou as the ghost continued to prod her own body in apparent detached interest I'm hello ghost S who the hell are you and what are you doing here datab Bale said ghost looked up and judging by the Frosty expression on her face wasn't very pleased with the question you know it's meam to you little boy didn't your parents ever teach you to be polite that had Naruto on the defensive hey you can't go around telling me what to do creepy ghost lady he moked you're being really rude datab Bale and I'm an orphan so there for the first time in the conversation Meo seemed to have difficulty forming a sentence I is that so she inquired hesitantly what about cousins a shake of the head any relations no I'm the only Uzumaki in koha or anywhere else I've never met any relatives I don't have a fancy Clan and I don't want to talk to you why are you you asking anyway mito's eyes softened in understanding even as she gasped in realization are you cushion as boy Naruto shook his head again never knew my parents nobody in koha knows who my parents are even hokii didn't know Mito frowned and you haven't ever heard of you know the Uzumaki Clan Naruto scoffed never heard of an Uzumaki Clan what are you trying to say anyway that I'm from some sort of fancy Clan you're right that'll be the day G lady koha doesn't treat people of Clans like they do me mito's eyes widened with realization you dropped the creepy part you know it's nice to know I'm only ghost lady now Mito observed with a slight smile even as her eyes smoldered with anger at the realization of what had happened anyway she continued casually you wouldn't happen to be a gingi would you Naruto choked on his breath well what why would you even ask that his voice Rose in octave in his attempt to deflect the question and Naruto cursed his voice under his breath why did his voice have to start cracking now Of All Times Mito looked at him sternly and Naruto tried not to Quail under her stare you know for a Shinobi your lying skills are notoriously poor your eyes wander your hands twist together and you shuffle your feet as Naruto heardly tried to fix the points mentioned Meo soldiered on and as for your question when I lived in koha there was another Uzumaki living here and she was also a gingeri you know only an Uzumaki can successfully hold the QB Naruto interrupted her looking at her with sparkling eyes really who was she do I know about her oh wait he deflated I checked the Shinobi records there have been no Uzumaki living in koha from its start Naruto narrowed his eyes at Mito are you lying to me instead of a startled reaction as Naruto half expected Meo flew into a rage erase my records oh this time that old monkey went too far she stood rooted on her spot before abrupt turning towards Naruto little sarutobi is still the Hokage right Old Man Died a few weeks back Orochimaru killed him Naruto stated flatly however much he had had doubts of the old man they had still been very close the fifth is senju sunade little TSU that's just wonderful I've got to see her Naruto stared at her disbelievingly little TSU he repeated hollowly she'll probably smash me through the wall if I called her that literally just who are you you and exactly how old are you ghost lady Meo started guiltily she had completely forgotten to introduce herself sorry about that she said sheepishly I am senju NE Uzumaki Mito wife of hashirama sju daughter arys of the Uzumaki Clan and Mistress of the ceiling arts and if you're who I think you are then I'm your great great grandmother nice to meet you Naruto flapped his jaw feudly for a moment that's real nice ghost lady he mumbled weakly I think I'll take a nap now with that Naruto fell backwards in a dead faint you know you should get that looked into Naruto simply groaned so ghost lady what are you going to do now Mito grin slightly well Naruto Quinn before I answer that what do you know of the Uzumaki clan of nothing I guess Meo stared at him before sighing and calling him over to the edge of the crater created by the chakra chains in the first scroll as they both sat down on an uprooted tree Meo began her story you know what I'll tell you the story The Way my mother told me back when I was a small girl growing up in the islands of Whirlpool Once Upon a Time about a thousand years ago the world was a very different place the countries in the world were different and they all had armies of Samurai ninja lived in Small hidden enclaves never seen by civilians and only accepting missions through contacts it was a simple life but they were happy then one day a God and a goddess came down to earth to spend some time together but the goddess fell in love with the Earth and she refused to leave instead spending her time frolicking among the flowers and spurning the God's affections in time the God who was in love with the goddess became jealous of the earth and the flowers as he felt they had stolen his love from him therefore he hatched a plan going into the underworld and plucking a seed from a tree there the gods snuck into the goddess garden and planted the seed there in time the seed grew into a beautiful tree growing on the negative emotions that plag the world for you see this was no ordinary plant but a demon child when the goddess saw the beautiful tree in her garden she was overjoyed and tried to pet the plant like she did every other tree in her garden however the demon in the plant couldn't bear to come close to the goddess therefore it scratched her hand in Fright horrified by her bleeding hand the goddess swore to never Garden again choosing to leave Earth with the Overjoyed God who in his happiness forgot to return the plant to the underworld in time this tree would grow very large and began to be worshiped by the people as a symbol of God however the negative emotions wating from the tree spread Discord causing the lands to descend into chaos with tribe fighting tribe Clan fighting Clan and Country fighting country in time it came to be that one small fledgling Nation gained custody of the land containing the demon tree this kingdom was ruled by the clan calling themselves the atsuki and they had a princess called kagaya she was fascinated by the tree and would often visit it in her walks around the palace one day she saw that the tree had borne fruit and thinking that with the strength of the Gods she would be able to stop the constant Bloodshed she consumed it the fruit deformed her and in despair she fled her country her desperate desire to heal the world would stop most of the corruption but the power had wared her not only in body but in mind in time she would emerge from the Shadows a Godlike being with unspeakable power to unite All Nations under her oppressive fist her kingdom was not to last the demon had felt its power being used by another and it grew enraged transforming into a demonic creature with tent Tails it stampeded through the world leaving chaos in its wake meanwhile among the humans Hagar Roo the son of kagay overthrew his mother leading a rebellion to free the lands from her rule having inherited his mother's powers in an even more concentrated form therefore he was the person the people turned to save them from the rampaging demon meeting the tentals in an abandoned Valley Hagar Romo battled it for seven days and seven nights finally managing to wound it fatally before sealing its Essence inside himself and the body inside the moon hago gave rise to the age of ninja and his teaching of ISU spread across the lands he is known as the hero of the world and as the god of Shinobi he is also the creator of the beu and the progenitor of the senju aiha and Uzumaki Clans it is said that on his deathbed the man now known as the sage of Six Paths divided his philosophy among his three children to the eldest son who had found the aiha clan he gave his insight and vision the ability to see the nature of human conflict he also inherited the strong spiritual presence of his father to the younger son who had found the sju clan he gave his pragmatism his grasp On Emotion the ability to recognize love and Inspire it he inherited the strong physical presence of his father to his daughter who had found the Uzumaki Clan he gave his courage his will his ability to weather the storms of circumstance to reach their goals she inherited the unique mind of her father allowing her to see things from different perspectives which she would later incorporate into our unique ceiling style the AO were the first to turn from the path set for them by the sage hor ified by the reality of the world and unable to handle it they sought to cleanse the World by baptism of fire espousing that the world was too corrupt to save the second to turn from the path where the sendu horrified by the crimes committed by the AA they nevertheless stayed their hand Blinded By Their Love For Peace and their wish to save people who did not want to be saved refusing to strike down even those who deserved it Uzumaki alone stayed true to our values as time went on never choosing a side between the Waring Brothers there would be a constant in an everchange ing world and that is what the philosophy of the Uzumaki is Naruto Quinn what do you mean an Uzumaki endures an Uzumaki survives an Uzumaki does not compromise their values and an Uzumaki always keeps his eyes on the objective mito's lips twitched in a slight grin that is why we were so feared you know Naruto kin because a true Uzumaki was the ultimate Shinobi you know it took three Elemental Nations and their entire armies to bring uzushiogakure the home of the Uzumaki down in the first Shinobi war and my B brother Uzumaki Shin was the clan head at that time took the entire force of ewa's Boulder unit to bring him down and he still didn't go without taking the entire lot with him you know Naruto listened to me to ramble on about the Uzumaki Clan with a small content smile on his face listening to the stories of his kin brought to him a strange sort of relief like a ache that he had carried in his heart for a long time had healed maybe he was losing his mind talking to a ghost and he might wake up tomorrow with a lump on on his head to find that he had been hallucinating but right now he wouldn't give this moment up for the world Naruto yawned tiredly when Mito finally paused in her recital of life in the Uzumaki Clan ghost Lady it's getting a bit late isn't it I should probably go back some people get a little fidgety when I'm not around for some time it was true nbu still got shivers down their Collective spines when they thought of the great itching powder incident it was quite normal for them to deploy additional squads to locate the Uzumaki when Nobu Personnel had cited him from more than 24 hours Mito got an immensely guilty look on her face and though she was quick to mask it Naruto who had trained himself to read others emotions towards him especially after the Mizuki incident caught it with a hidden core of rising Panic Naruto turned to Mito ghost lady why did you Flinch M wet her lips a bit nervously I'll how to tell you this Naruto kin the scroll that summoned me it had two seals inscribed two seals you told me that the Scrolls simply used my chakra to power array that materialized your conscience stored inside the scroll into a physical form Mito flinched again though she had not told that outright she had implied it preferring to leave this for later after all breaching the subject of altering the genetic makeup of a person without their consent was a delicate proposition that is true Naruto Quin but not the whole truth she gulped you know I created this scroll so that an heir of the Uzumaki Legacy would find themselves attracted to the scroll by then I was around 80 years old she smirked at Nar 's slack jaw and there was no direct lineage to the Uzumaki Clan the only other was Kusha who I suspect is your mother and she was smitten with a boy from a small local Clan and planned to take his name leaving the Uzumaki Clan extinct she s I think she wanted to forget the Uzumaki had sent her away to be Cub's next giki just before they were she choked over the word DD destroyed she didn't have a very amicable split with her family and next thing she knew her family was dead poor girl sighing to herself again Mito resumed her narration anyway I knew that I couldn't allow it so I left this scroll a potential Heir would find the scroll due to the slight attraction their chakra had to the scroll and upon touching it the scroll would begin a purification process a purification process Naruto asked quietly a hint of anger lacing his words yes a purification process it would purify your Uzumaki traits alter your genetic markers bring out the latent Uzumaki kii jeni she gestured at Naruto and basically turned you into a full blooded Uzumaki what do you mean turn you into a full blooded Uzumaki Naruto shouted at Meo jumping up and patting himself turning back and forth trying to find what had happened to him before he paused and what do you mean k Jen ey I don't have a k Jenai Mito smiled a triumphant grin that for some reason sent shivers down Naruto's spine you mean you didn't have a ky ey Jen ey holding out one delicate hand she gestured observe from her translucent hand a wraithlike Oriental Dragon slowly peaked out curling gently around her hand all Uzumaki have a kii jhai called chakra expression we are Naturals at form manipulation of chakra and we can naturally Express certain structures of raw chakra which are unique to each individual Uzumaki as you can see my expression is dragons you if I remember from yesterday Express Spike chains same as your mother and my brother who was your great great-grandfather Naruto listened in Wonder forgetting about the chakra purification for the time being he had a kyi Jen eye that would show that bastard AA with his precious pink eye he thought vindica Mito continued her little lecture unaware of the thoughts inside Naruto's head each expression has a specific specialty mine dragons are naturally attuned towards a fence in Jen Jutsu I had a cousin who expressed ropes and they were naturally attuned towards obstruction and Jen Jutsu yours I believe to be attuned towards barriers and and jetsu which makes it one of the most coveted expressions in the clan then showing a sliver of a nervous smile she soldiered on so for all that I hope you don't mind that you have paler skin and red hair all blood drained from Naruto's face which given his recently acquired fair skin tone meant that he looked almost yellow I have red hair why would you do that oh my gosh I have red hair as Naruto forcefully tugged at his hair trying to see its color as he rapidly descended into a panic attack Mito smiled to herself that was the Uzumaki hot temper which was a highly exaggerated state of panic and Chaos that did not last long she would have been more worried if Naruto had become quiet closed off and polite that was the cold anger that was common with the Uzumaki a smoldering frigid hatred that would have taken years to thaw which was the main reason most people feared her as she was always polite leading many to believe she wanted them hung drawn and quartered Naruto was trying to pull his hair out at the roots now what the hell did your scroll do to me how the hell am I going to explain this to bachan Mito held out a hand in front of her hoping to pacify the Raging ex blond now calm down Naruto kin we work it narut got into her face still trying to pull his hair out of his scalp I'm not going to calm down ghost lady I'm a Blonde I will always be a blonde with a cloud of depression hanging over his head he flopped bonelessly to the ground do you know how bad my jumpsuit would look with red hair Mito stared at him for a moment I can see she dead panned however I hardly think looking like someone thatched your head would make that monstrosity look presentable she glared at the jumpsuit Naruto's head snapped back at that all evidence of his Funk forgotten and Meo had to restrain the smile sometimes he acted so like hashirama it was just cute hey he pouted looking at Mido with a sulky expression don't insult the orange Meo looked at him in slight disbelief well apart from the fact that you stand out like like a walking road sign in the fact that that baggy suit makes you look even more of a [ __ ] than you are I have no problems with that jumpsuit anyway weren't you you know going to meet Susu Naruto grumbled even as he picked up his discarded jacket and the large scroll and started to triop to civilization turning his back on Meo it's not like she can talk datab Bale she's wearing white ah but white is the color of the elite Naruto Quinn Mito said from right behind him causing him to jump ignoring R's startled curse she continued in the ancient days a Shinobi wore white as a sign of confidence as it said to their opponent that they were not even going to get blood stains on their clothes don't do that Naruto screamed at Meo still panting from his fright I could have thrown a canai at you Mito smirked you know you aren't very good at the thinking business are you Naruto I haven't come back to life that would require something like the edot tensei of toorun and I was never that much of a freak she gestured at her own body with an Airy gesture this body is only a chakra construct housing my conscience though I am glad I decided to deage me and she thinks she isn't a freak Naruto muttered under his breath in disbelief what was that Meo asked turning towards Naruto with a demonic expression nothing absolutely nothing at all Nar squeaked she shook her head anyway this is just a chakra shell that's why I didn't die when your Spike chains ripped though me she said before throwing a reproachful look at him though the Phantom pains still hurt you know hey Naruto turned towards her indignantly while still hopping through the Treetops meaning that he was leaping backwards you can't blame me for that I don't even know how to bring out the chains datab beo mito's eyes oddly brightened at that even as Naruto instinctively flinched away from her almost causing him to lose his balance good I forgot I have to train you in the Uzumaki ways Naruto Clin Ken have the future Clan ignorant can we today after your teen practice we can come back here and begin our training proper isn't that great Naruto twitched nervously normally he wouldn't pass up free training but this time some inner Instinct was screaming at him that he would regret agreeing he knew why a moment later after all in the Uzumaki clan we have this special way of teaching the fighting Arts it's called try not to die oh this is going to be so fun Nito exclaimed rubbing her hands together with a disturbing grin by now Naruto had beads of sweat dripping down his face before he paused and thought why was he being afraid surviving was something he knew how to do he grinned bring it on ghost lady if your bones aren't creaking of age that is he was answered with a scroll to the face looking at the scroll he was a bit freaked out to find that it was the scroll that had brought Meo in the first place keep it Meo groused a bit ruffled by the jab at her age if something destroys the chakra shell you can bring me back accusing that speaking of which I'm going to try something seeing as I can't walk around half transparent without everyone thinking I'm a ghost I'm going to try something she held her hands in the ram position concentrating wow that is so much better Naruto dead paned looking at the still translucent woman oh shut up Meo groused just then something seemed to click into place and Meo gradually started to disappear from view soon Naruto was alone in the clearing he looked around a bit wearily Hello Ghost lady yes Naruto Quinn a voice whispered in his ear Naruto bit back a scream don't do that turning towards the voice Naruto came face to face with nothing Naruto stared for a moment before gentle giggling issued from in front of him blinking Naruto reached out in front of him his hand coming to rest on something solid and soft then a tremendous punch met his face and he tumbled into the ground from the tree branches a shout followed him pervert Naruto bounded into the hok tower looking rather nauseated and annoyed Mito invisibly ghosting behind him Naruto was grumbling while nursing a rather considerable bruise on his cheek how was I supposed to know where you were if you didn't want that to happen you shouldn't have turned invisible in the first place crazy women a scowling Meo hissed in his ear Naruto s the guards are watching you the tower guards looked at each other over his head as he waved to them as he entered the building as he appeared to talk to himself one of theu twitched his wrist in an undulating motion how many targets of course U sign language being the combat oriented language it was they could not exactly convey what they needed to ask but it worked well enough in non-combat roles to get the point across the nbu on the other side looked spooked he was a sensor and he had noticed a change in the orange wearing teens chakra signature but there had been only one presence Crossing his post so who had he been talking to one anomaly and Target inconclusive orders theu Captain's gaze immediately fixed itself on a nearby wall a moment later a part of the wooden wall protruded outwards gaining color as it did so the man that emerged from the wall who was wearing a tiger nbu mask immediately shun shine to the captain's position he Lent over Whispering into the captain's ear sir Torah what is the presence of the Demon's chakra completely vanished sir it's like it isn't even there theu Captain St at the mokong user a befuddled expression on his face explain sir the seal leaks some of QB's chakra at all times but it was missing just now it's as if the boy was not a giki the U Captain started in a Flash he signaled the sensor who was still staring after the blonde jiki signs of jinjutsu or any chakra use none he stared at Torah who stared back if they initiated a detainment sequence word would get out about the capture from the office n and it would possibly set Naruto back a few years in his attempt to gain the recognition of the populace it had been only their involvement that had kept lynch mobs from forming a few years back on the other hand if it was a hinged assassin I don't get paid enough for this he grous ready to issue the order regardless of consequences when an argument wafted down to them are you drinking again you old hag shut up you brat crash never mind not even an assassin was stupid enough to insult Cady of the sanine to her face not to mentioned that if one of her punches did not disrupt a Jen jutson nothing would muscles noticeably relaxed he ordered theu back to their posts as he resumed his monotonous duties as captain of the Guard a stray thought came to his mind why was he wearing a turban while Naruto and sady had their customary greeting and Naruto promptly had his meeting with the heavy oak door of the office M looked unbusy Drinker too she thought as she wrinkled her nose at the smell of sake coming off the hinged woman while suady was focusing on Naruto's new headdress what you trying to look like a sanine you brat she was picking out the hidden people in the room with experienced eyes of course it helped that she had helped design the room she was examining the room had 15 man-sized hiding spots three on the ceiling for near the windows four set in the corners of the room and four hidden behind Furniture in the walls only four of these were occupied she only had to figure out which there one shadowed elbow peaked out out from a hiding spot on the ceiling and by the orientation she was able to find the others U liked to stay within sight of other U as it enabled communication now to disable them as four wraithlike dragons formed behind her back she snapped through a series of hand seals Uzumaki hidden illusion art Prismatic dragons it was over in the flash the four dragons flared in the colors of the rainbow and even asady and the U turned towards the chakra flare the dragons whipped into the hidden Ambu as as soon as the dragons passed through the nbu they sagged falling over with an odd sigh they were out cold Meo gave a cold smirk he I've still got it meanwhile as soon as the chakra had flared sunade had flipped the desk on end as she yanked Naruto over the overturned desk stay put Let Me Go bachan sunade turned an exceptionally serious look on Naruto prompting him to shut up but sunade was already ignoring him Naruto sighed the least ghost lady could have done was tell him she was going to thrash the Hokage Tower sunade stepped out of the shadow of the desk scowling whoever you are come out before I make you she ordered in a Stern voice hoping to prompt the hidden asant to reveal themselves therefore she was slightly surprised when a voice answered her in a conversational tone oh stop it with the crash posturing you know little TSU I think I taught you better than that I blame tobirama he was always a bad influence tady froze then blood rushed to her face face and her Knuckles cracked Naruto winced as she leapt to the source of the voice her fists blazing with chakra as they came down in a double punch that cracked the floors made of the first hokages chakra seeped wood causing splinters to fly around her then Mido spoke again this time from the opposite end of the room so crass little TSU your fighting style you know as a Kuni you must show some Grace not run around punching things like a maniac seriously what did that monkey teach you after I was gone so gritted her teeth whoever you are this is not funny if you come out I'll Grant you a quick death if not well she curled her fingers into a fist chakra Rippling around it I'll make you pay for impersonating my family empty threats empty threats little TSU after all you can't even find me can you obviously not you're drunk like a skunk and on the job too what would your father think asady prepared to launch herself at the mocking Voice once more Naruto interrupted a on that really is your grandma and ghost lady that wasn't very funny Meo neatly reappeared beside Naruto looking around at the destruction serenely Naruto Quin why did you have to you know spoil my fun she asked in a completely flat voice that had Naruto gaping at her incredulously though to be entirely Fair she wasn't the only one gaping at her tady was staring at her motionlessly transfixed a few seconds later she spoke wonderingly my grandmother's a ghost Meo Shrugged her shoulder shoulders slightly hello TSU Naruto interjected when suady seemed to prepare to launch a volley of questions yeah though that's probably my fault come think of it suady turned towards him an imperious look on her face and Naruto shivered towering over him tady spoke oh brat what happened a few minutes earlier that never happened get it Naruto nodded frantically and now talk she said grimly and Naruto talked halfway through the explanation tady had broken out Mor sake locked the doors and dumped the unconscious Ambu outside as Mido sealed the room the three were Seated on the sofas that surrounded the hok desk with Naruto and Neo on one side and suady on the other tady was nursing a headache so let me get this straight you she said pointing at Naruto just managed to stumble onto an old scroll left by you she pointed at Meo that would select and prepare the next Uzumaki Clan head which managed to turn him into a full-blooded Uzumaki and make you manifest in a corporeal well semi corporeal form speaking of which she paused to stare at Meo intently what exactly are you Meo smiled I was waiting for you to ask it was a delightful piece of fuan Jutsu you know what I did was seal my conscience in the spiritual containment array in the seal connected to a chakra host vampire seal suady gasped but grandma that's forbidden Mito smirked only for the other Shinobi you know that we Uzumaki have always had a rather unhealthy amount out of chakra shooting the disgruntled Cady and amused look she continued to explain the method of Revival she had used so when a suitable candidate touch the seal it extracts chakra from the person which is channeled into two seals one which is the Uzumaki purification morphing seal which enhances the Uzumaki characteristics of the user and a body template seal which creates a solid chakra shelf for the parasitic conscience which is in this case me the seal contains another inbuilt purification morphing seal that is customized to my chakra making it so that I can use my chakra in the host body the chakra that enters the Uzumaki purification morphing seal harmonizes with healing chakra stored in the chakra storage seal attached to it and is injected back into the body via a chakra injection array the combined chakra initiates a cascading reaction in the cells causing them to undergo specific mutations to make it mimic the original Uzumaki stock at the end of the explanation sunade was looking rather a struck Naruto on the other hand looked nauseous don't say mutated why would you even do that anyway Mito didn't even look phased so you would look like an Uzumaki of course we can't have an Uzumaki Clan head that doesn't look like an Uzumaki can we at Naruto's outraged expression Meo cracked sorry you're just too easy to tease really your body has to contain the proper template for it to produce Uzumaki chakra of your own what you expressed at the end was the chakra converted by the scroll by now your body's producing its own Naruto's retort was cut off by the the sound off laughter turning towards the sound Naruto sawady laughing her guts out haa so that's why you're wearing a turban slipping from her seat she was in front of Naruto in an instant prying fingers reaching for the headdress come on brat let's see that nice shiny red hair of yours Naruto scalled squirming to get away from tady who was now petting his hair marveling its newly acquired silkiness Meo smiled it was good to see them play Naruto slowly Dred dragged himself to training ground number seven obviously rather hesitant about meeting his team he had ditched the turban at the Hokage Tower Mito ghosted behind him with an obviously worried expression the reason for this was the subject of their discussion so that's why I've been feeling a little less well full lately well Naruto Quin as a chakra construct I'm like a summoned creature you know I don't generate chakra on my own because I'm not a part of the natural order instead whenever I expend chakra I recover it from your own reserves considering your chakra control I'll say that it will be like keeping a 100 Kaa bunchin active at all times when I'm not in combat anyway that's why you fainted in the clearing after spearing me through it automatically diverted your reserves to heal my chakra shell which stretched your already strained chakra Network too far you know seeing Naruto's contemplative look she continued hesitantly if you want you know I could just teach you the basics as soon as possible and then you can disconnect me you could probably learn what you need to know from the Scrolls sealed in the large scroll you don't need me for that Naruto abruptly stopped walking staring at her with an unreadable expression on his face do you want to go because I won't tell you to stay with me if you don't want to if you want you can go and catch up with bachan some more you probably have lots to talk about meet you in the afternoon meet AMA now with a definitely Stony look on his face Naruto turned to go meet his team wait Naruto Kun he paused at the shout turning to look at a transparent Meo who looked at the edge of tears I didn't mean that you know she pleaded imploringly I mean I know having me here is probably inconvenient for you and I'm sucking your chakra dry and you probably don't want me hanging around you anyway her rambling was interrupted when a soft missile crashed into her grabbing her in a tight hug his face pressed into the crook of her neck as he held on tightly as mito's form darkened in a blush I've never had family before and I'm not letting you just leave ghost lady he whispered in a Gruff voice as he squeezed her further into his embrace it's like you told me Uzumaki never leave anyone behind so give it up already you aren't getting rid of me that easy Meo held the shaking team to her stunned had what she had just said been misconstrued as a rejection for such a Brash personality he was turning out to be very vulnerable was this what koha had done to him she instinctively found herself staring into the Hokage monument in the distance hashin what have they done to your dream bending slightly she looped her own hands around him whispering in his ear Naruto kin Naruto stiffened as her breath hit his ear you're never going to be alone ever again the child merely burrowed further into her Embrace for the first time in her life since the destruction of yush obaku she began to have uncharitable thoughts about koha how could a village do this to one of their own especially over a burden force on him at Birth how could they have the nerve to do this to an Uzumaki when they still wore a bloody spiral in Penance a child so young so alone with a slight shiver she realized that she was partially to blame I was something she had introduced to koha after all in a way Naruto was her Legacy even more than the Uzumaki Heritage she then thought of Kusa that small girl who had asked her if she could really hold QB's rage within her Susu had given her details of kush's death and the QB attack after their visit apparently even as hokagay she needed to adjust Naruto's security clearance before she was allowed to tell him thinking back to the Visage of the Tey girl she found herself wondering kushan what would you have done if you saw this looking down at the shaking boy she found herself burying her own face in his silky Crimson Hair Never Alone she repeated not if I can help it I promise and she intended to keep her promise she just wasn't quite sure if she was promising it to Naruto or to herself he wooden bridge near the number seven training ground was peaceful a gentle breeze was flowing through the trees the small stream gently woved through the rocks and a simpering pink-haired kunoichi was ey raping her disgruntled crush a normal meeting for the dysfunctional gen in team 7 said Kuno was as earlier stated sporting bright pink hair her HTI used to tie up her hair she was wearing a red dress with a marking depicting a white circle on her back her crush on the other hand sported a high-collared blue shirt paired with a pair of white shorts he was also sporting Raven hair that stuck out at the back a pair of swirling half-developed charangon and his customary frown so far the day had gone to routine Sakura had come early waited for her beloved Sasuke to come then squealed out a greeting the Avenger had responded with the ever expressive hn after which he proceeded to sit in his customary brooding pose while Sakura pasted googlet eyes in his Direction now that the two main actors had come on to the stage at least according to Sakura's mind it was time for the supporting and cast of the two remaining missing people the first to arrive would be a blonde in a horrendous jumpsuit who would proceed to greet Sakura get insulted in return Then insults Sasuke only to get beaten up by Sakura this would culminate in one genen and hold his head and whining one brooding and the last alternately hissing at the first and fawning over the second until their extremely tardy Sensei would arrive in the wake of a bad excuse only today something was different it had already been an hour since Sasuke had arrived but there was no sign of the blonde knucklehead not that Sakura minded it at all not having him around me that she had more time to watch Sasuke Quin not that she wasn't going to hit the idiot when he finally showed his face still she frowned he was probably getting laate on purpose because of Sasuke she thought looking at the genius in question who was staring into the distance glaring even more than was usual for him he had only been released from the hospital yesterday and this meeting had been called to reacquaint them with teen tactics at least that was Kakashi Sensei had said when she had asked speaking of which where were they Kakashi Sensei she wouldn't expect for another hour but Naruto a deep frown on her face and equipped with tighten fist she waited for her teammate to arrive and she waited and waited and waited some more almost all of the allocated hour had passed before she spied a figure strolling along the footpath leading to the bridge the person was apparently holding a very engaging conversation judging by the earnest hand gestures he made but to her confusion she couldn't see who he was conversing with then to her confusion the figure suddenly spun around before apparently trying to hug air there is someone invisible Sasuke's monotonous voice cut into Sakura's thoughts I can see its chakra but the Shang gan can't see through whatever Jen Jutsu they're using the boy had straightened from his slouch Crimson shingon glaring in the direction of The Intruders there was a look of immense frustration on his face he obviously did not like the fact that something could be hidden from his shingan after the rather strange looking hug the figure waved at the invisible figure before slowly shambling towards them his hands casually stuck inside the pockets of his orange jumpsuit Naruto with a war cry Sakura leapt towards her absentee teammate she fully expected to meet rud's skull which she would proceed to drive to the ground which was why she was surprised when her fist instead met a steady forearm bringing her charge to an abrupt halt she looked up meeting Naruto's face to berate him for daring him for daring to be almost late for the team meeting only to do a double take Naruto at her bewildered tone Sasuke looked up in apparent interest hn you look even stupider with that hair Dove he sneered which caused Sakura to smirk herself yeah Naruto Baka you look even more stupid than you were earlier Naruto could feel his blood pumping in his ears as he fought to control his blind rage he had gone into the meeting hoping for an amicable split however it was evident it was not to be he found that strangely he did not mind somewhere in his realignment of priorities something had changed his perspective as far as his team was concerned before they were friends that had scorned him subject of his anger and a cause of disappointment to him now they were in his eyes a group that had taken advantage of his emotional depend on them to use him as a convenient outlet for their frustrations the very thought brought a white hot Haze to his thoughts if there was thing he absolutely hated it was being used as a scapegoat his thoughts were clearer than before his mind slipping into that sharp equilibrium that strange calm that he had only achieved in the middle of battle when fighting for his life now as far as he was concerned they were the outside the enemy and even if his combat skills may have been lacking Naruto knew how to fight he had been doing that since he was born born and right now he had to hurt them verbally enough so that one of them initiated a physical bout his chakra was beating a tattoo against his body eager to form chains that he knew instinctively that he could form Naruto ignored Sakura's comments as he stared into Sasuke's eyes which shifted to shangan and challenge at the sight of the Jiu-Jitsu his chakra surged in frenzy yearning to break through the surface and sudden murderous intent he then smirked derisively I'll ask for your opinion when you can defeat your brother team Sasuke went into a murder rage as he yelled and Dove at Naruto a snar on his lips and a canai in his hand only to get pulled back by his collar as a hand clamped down on it the man to whom the hand belonged was tall with a shock of silver hair that leaned to his left it was encircled by a slanted hi TI that covered his left eye and he was wearing a flack jacket and the official koha Jon in uniform hataki Kakashi had arrived let go NE sasun calm down now Naruto that was a little excessive was it not he said mildly not looking up from his everpresent AAA Naruto stiffened before shrugging dismissively he started it why you SAS Kakashi barked out Sasuke subsided still glowering at an unrepentant Naruto Sakura was still shellshocked at the exchange that had taken place but at hearing sas's yell she gathered herself don't talk to sasun like that Naruto Baka with a yell she attempted to hammer Naruto to the ground only to be stopped again when Naruto sidestepped it as Sakura stumbled off balance she was steadied by a hand on her wrist before it was jerked backwards making her spin around to come face to face with the living Naruto Heros San he hissed at the surprised kuni's face I would prefer if you didn't attempt to physically assault me again understood Sakura nodded dumbly the change of hair color and complexion had changed Narutos looks drastically with the blood red locks draping his cheekbones and framing his pale bloodless face comined With His Brilliant piercing blue eyes Naruto suddenly looked 10 years older sniffing dismissively Naruto turned towards Kakashi whose one visible eye had widened considerably during the exchange between Naruto and Sakura closing his book and dropping it into his Supply pouch he looked at Naruto his eyes widening a bit more when he saw Naruto's face narut stand down or I'll have to report you for insubordination Naruto's eyes met Kakashi and his smirk grew wider Jon and Sensei had Kakashi San he started using the formal title in Li of the more commonly used Kakashi Sensei Kakashi looked positively startled even SAS had stopped his struggling at the surprise of hearing Naruto speak in a formal tone I regret to inform you that I shall be unable to participate in this exercise Naruto's grin was positively malicious now as Kakashi opened his mouth to berate him time to Spring the Trap he thought thinking back to the plan they had hatched in the Hokage Tower between him sunade and moo he straightened up his expression to deliver the message by order of the godam hok sjare I jenin Uzumaki Naruto Shinobi ID 01267 have been relieved of Duties in the Jenning team 7 due to impending Clan matters as pursuing to the section e of the 34th chapter of the koha charter bowing slightly towards a stupified Kakashi he dug into his pouch and producing a gold leaf embroidered scroll that was used for official orders from the Hokage Tower he handed it to Kakashi absent-mindedly opening the scroll Kakashi asked Clan matters Sasuke scoffed interrupting the conversation you Clan however much you lie you're still a clanless loser loser turning to Kakashi he added come on Kakashi Naruto scaled when he noticed Kakashi ignored the insult throw away that scroll and let's get a mission over with I need to train besides the dove probably found the scroll in the trash shut up pachha don't infest the air of the others with your vile tongue Naruto was about to continue when he was inup Ed by Sakura who spoke in a wondering tone section e of the 34th chapter but that's the premature inauguration of Clan head Claus of the clan Extinction act then she gave Naruto a scathing look now you've done it Naruto Baka at least read the charter before you try to quote it Baka that only applies to Clan heirs when sady Sama hears you impersonated her Kakashi interrupted her in turn his voice almost a whisper yet carrying in the tense air that had traces of killing intent a Nam at Sakura from Naruto this is a valid document Sakura's jaw dropped if that was true surely she would have heard of an Uzumaki clan in koha not to mention that Naruto was a clanless orphan everyone knew that however Kakashi continued this Clause requires the clan in question have an interim Clan head with a blood relation to the clan in question Naruto pointed at the scroll it's signed by bachan she's of Uzumaki stock two generations removed via her grandmother Uzumaki Mido who became Simo wife of the shame cool ain't it Kakashi was looking annoyed and rather taken aback while Sasuke was frowning fiercely and Sakura looked totally lost Sasuke's expression however was the one that Naruto savored the most since bachan had told him of the cause apparently the lack of n aiha containing aiha blood owing to the rather fanatic pruning done by the clan meant that Sasuke himself could not Ascend to the title of Clan head without the abdication of aiha Itachi who even with his missing mean status still was the recognized Clan Heir I think this is done bachan wants you to report to her office to discuss Replacements he turned to walk away by the way Kakashi Sensei he paused at the edge of the clearing my father would have been ashamed at the way you treated me after all he's done for you his last view of the remnants of Team 7 before he disappeared into the forest were of Sakura and Sasuke staring at him with a mixture of confusion and anger while Kakashi simply stared at him his one eye wide open in shock narut walked into his apartment completely complely exhausted entering through the window he proceeded to stumble towards the battered couch before he sank into it with a groan he barely stirred when a voice floated from his kitchen tough day he merely gave a groan in answer Susu said shek come over tonight he grunted only for a spatula to fly into his face from the open kitchen door it was followed by a fo angry voice don't grunt like an aiha leave me be ghost lady now that won't do you know said a figure framing the kitchen door holding a ladle get sorry carcass out here and eat Naruto groaned again before ducking suddenly as a ladle flew past where his head would have been raising his head weily over the back rest he saw one of the more bizarre sites he had seen in his life as a resident of a ninja Village a translucent person dressed in a translucent kimono over which a very solid looking flowery apron which he recognized as a gag gift he had gotten from I am was tied he probably would have broken out in Giggles if not for the fact that Ladle that had been thrown still vibrated in the wall behind him its handle sunk a good foot into the mortar of the wall repressing an involuntary shiver Naruto wearily staggered out of the sofa and into the kitchen where a bowl of steaming Ramen was waiting for him with a Content sigh he sank into his seat and began slowly lapping at the noodles then Mido came up to the table removing the apron before she took a seat opposite him watching him eat after a while the insistent stare became too much for Naruto what do you want Meo gave a sad smile it's a strange feeling isn't it Naruto blinked at at the apparent non seor at his puzzled face Mito elaborated to let go of them I mean what do you mean Naruto's brusk replied did nothing to change mito's expression and for some reason it graded on Naruto's nerves I mean that it's obvious that the team split didn't happen exactly the way you wanted it to Naruto's head which had been nodding nearer and nearer to the ramen Bowl jerked upwards at that comment a startled whisper broke through his lips how did you know Meo met his eyes a shadow of a grin gracing her her face really you stumble into the apartment hours after you were supposed to looking like you're dead on your feet and covered in wood chips and you ask me how I know as Naruto groaned mortified Mito slowly placed a hand on his shoulder look at me Naruto Clin she whispered to him Naruto hesitantly leaned into too's hand looking at her looking lost slowly she got up from her seat only to plop into a seat beside Naruto and pull the boy into a hug come on Naruto Quin she coaxed tell what troubles you and don't leave out what you did to those po per trees as the evening wore on she managed to gradually pry the story from Naruto so do you think I was too harsh on them Naruto asked sprawled on the chair cuddling up to her she had soon found that Naruto had an affinity for physical displays of affection probably from the relative isolation he had suffered during his childhood she thought anyway she had to concentrate on his words narut seemed very fragile emotionally and what she said now could Poss possibly have many results well she started wetting her lips if you had asked it out of context I probably would have said yes Naruto flinched at that however with how they have treated you and how they continue to treat you she continued stressing the point of the continuing belittling he had endured even during the short exchange that had taken place I have to say they deserved it giving Naruto a fond smile she got up from her seat come along Naruto kin as much fun as it was to rail at those fools you don't want to be late huh she had to conceal a smile at that don't you want to learn how to wield those chains of yours Kakashi walked to the Hokage Tower in a days having dismissed his team what remained of his team he reminded himself bitterly early he was going to meet sinat Sama to get some answers in koha removing a genin from their genin team was unusual this was because of the principle of teamwork which was one of the first things beaten into the heads of prospective Shinobi made compulsory in one of the first orders at the stock of the sand Dame's first reign in koha a Jen and team was family they ate together they camped together and they killed together a Jen and team was a mesh of personalities with each member knowing the inner workings of the other's mind this was why most teams stuck together even after the promotions of the jenin members this was also why it was considered almost heresy to even consider removing a jenin from a jenin team removing a jenin without the consent of the jonan leader however was unheard of now Kakashi knew that his team was quite a bit less than solid when compared to the other Jen and teams out there however he had been getting there Naro tended to think things through a bit more and did not complain as much when he was delegated to The Brute Forest parts of the missions Sasuke was getting increasingly cooperative and sakuro was getting serious he supposed anyway Naruto had quit at the worst possible point for the team and what he said prior to quitting had not helped sakuro was still looking a bit stunned when he had dismissed them while Sasuke when he snapped out of his own shock would surely end up on a murderous Rampage and him he was still digesting the costic words that Naruto had spit back at him before leaving the clearing and he had definitely heard the hint of disappointment an accusation in his tone and it ate at him in a way it had not done in a long time maybe he was going soft not to mention the fact that Naruto seemed to actually know his pedigree of course sady Sama might have told him but why now so engrossed in figuring out his own thoughts was he that he didn't even notice the fact he was nearing the hokagay tower until he had already crossed the threshold so he was a bit surprised when he was hurriedly ushered into the hok office passed the crew of chunin and what looked like motan no tenzo entering the office found Kakashi hurly stripped of his daydreaming the office was a mess with several parts of the wooden office looking newly grown there were uncleared wood ships scattered around the floor and an annoyed completely sober Hokage trying to stare a hole through his head already this was not how he had envisioned the meeting going Kakashi quailed uneasily as Sinar stare did not let let up I'm suady Sama maybe I can come back later slowly oh so slowly suady Stony face faded into a predatory smirk that looked petrifying on the kunoichi Kakashi slowly edged backwards ah there you are Kakashi s you're early for once how unexpected Kakashi giggled nervously and the road of Life had a shortcut suady sighed sit down Kakashi San we need to talk about your team Kakashi took the seat absently brushing off debris before before he started talking excuse meady Sama but don't you think that Naruto's removal from Team 7 is rather sudden of course it is but that was intended sunade said steepling her fingers in front of her as she leaned forward on her desk somehow that slight movement seemed almost threatening it gives those old phobes on the council Less Reason to try to persuade me to change my mind and she shot Kakashi an indecipherable look it gets him away from an abusive team as soon as possible as Kakashi Rose from his seat in protest tady snapped at him all of you were abusive to him and don't you dare try to deny it letting out a coming breath she continued picking apart the Sensei of Team seven let me ask you a simple question Kakashi s you've had Naruto in the team for almost 7 months what exactly have you taught him Kakashi stuttered at the blunt question I taught him chakra control exercises and teamwork exercises and suady talked over his stuttering cutting him off any actual techniques well no but his Basics were too bad for him to learn not mentioning the fact that he learned an a rank Jutsu the raisen Gan within a week impossible he doesn't have the chakra control I should have known you wouldn't even know what about Tai Jitsu his bases are all off balance he overextends on every other punch and his technique is so bad that most of his blows have most of their power leeched off by the time they make contact suady raised an eyebrow indeed and have you ever told him that or at least attempted to correct it if I may interrupt sunar Sama I told him to practice his Kata what else do you expect me to do if he wasn't motivated to improve himself am I supposed to ditch the students who are actually willing to learn for a student who couldn't be bothered to learn when he should I told him to polish off his Basics while I taught the others to survive it wasn't like he was going to die anyway with that healing Factor he could afford to wait until he catches up and I can't allow the others to suffer for it here he was cut off abruptly by a spike of killing intent suddenly it was difficult to move as an enormous chakra presence slammed into his senses like a sledgehammer the air around Tsunade was starting to get hazy she looked absolutely livid pressing both of her Palms onto the table she leaned over the table glaring at a paralyzed Kakashi when she spoke every word she bit out seemed like a malediction you you miserable excuse for a human do you willingly ignore what goes around you or are you really that blind her long fingernails grooves in the wooden desk her fingers twitching as if expressing the desire to close around Kakashi's neck Naruto lacks basics for one very simple reason one that even an oblivious simpleton should understand tell me Kakashi San did you really think your sensei's son the QB Jin Shiki would not be subject to sabotage when you yourself were a part of his guard patrols once seeing Kakashi start suady scoffed do you know how I knew that Naruto told me that he recognized you from the scent the first time you called a team meeting I imagine you didn't even know that he had enhanced senses did you taking his silence as the answer she continued imagine when he found out that the man that had rescued him from an assassination when he was five could turn out to be just as judgmental and narrow-minded as the rest of them it took him a long time to stop believing in you you know every time you rejected him for that clearly unbalanced sucha he just came back thinking that it would be different the next time he's just stubborn that way I suppose but you know what happens when people stubborn people lose hope they break and understand this Kakashi S I will not let him break she left her seat pacing around the office Kakashi didn't even dare to breath The Killing intent had not faded at all let me make this very clear Kakashi s she enunciated clearly trying to keep hold of her temper I think of Naruto as a grandson and by blood relation I can declare it so I came back to this place that seems to have taken a collective dump on my my grandfather's dreams since I left because of him a leaderless koha is not being invaded by iwa right now because of him and the rebuilding of the damaged sectors are going so fast because of wave country's support which we have because of him as is the fact that this place is not covered in sand right now by a rampaging jiki that is of course not considering the fact that he is the heir to a clan that sacrificed themselves for this place and the personal sacrifice both he and his parents have made to koha she scoffed leaning in front of Kakashi's chair to get in his face and the fact that the ungrateful bastards that called this place home including those that the family entrusted with his protection all shun him disgusts me I don't know how he doesn't hate this place yet I certainly would if I had lived his life however seeing as he doesn't just want to get out of this dump I can't remove him from it however much I would like to I'm not sorry Toby Sensei Kakashi s I'm not old and I have not grown tired I will not let things slide just because the resultant Hornet's Nest is too Troublesome to handle and so far the first thing I have noticed is the Village Wide disregard for an order of a Hokage and as long as I sit on this blasted chair that I will not allow observing Kakashi with a critical eye she sneered look at yourself Kakashi San a supposed borderline s-rank ninja cowering like a jenin I was out of active duty for almost 15 years yet you the 27e old are the one who has gone to seed at your age sukumo could match Sarat toi sensei's killing in inent Kakashi tried to speak when the killing intent spiked yet again and Kakashi was left gasping for breath sunade didn't even seem to notice the effort however the office was now Rippling as cady's Earth nature chakra tried to alter the wooden floor and waves of chakra were crashing against the walls saturating the room in a heat Haze of chakra anyway we seem to have strayed from the topic haven't we as his Jon and Sensei however useless you might have been as one I suppose you deserve to at least hear what is going to happen to your ex jennen because be certain as long as I am Hokage he will never be your direct subordinate again Kakashi drooped in his chair at the announcement Naruto unlocked his Uzumaki bloodline yesterday she continued the process involved has resulted in some cosmetic changes as you might have noticed Kakashi nodded dumbly even though the killing intent was slowly petering off he still felt like prey in the mouth of a predator sunade slowly circled back to her seat and sat down never once taking her eyes off of Kakashi this is the reason that precipitated the removal of Naruto from the team but make no mistake it was going to happen anyway your actions have also prompted me to start an overall investigation of the Jen and teams of koha we can't have them all slacking off can we as for your team team 7 is being formally dissolved B butar Sama come now Kakashi San did you really expect me to keep you in command after the Fiasco you seem to have made Sakura will be inducted into the Medical Corp while Sasuke will be officially registered as your Apprentice if you want since you seem hellbent on only teaching him anyway finally you will need to attend Naruto's Ascension of Clan head ceremony as all available J and de at the council gathering in 2 months time you're dismissed yes they are quite beautiful don't you think Yen Naruto breathed Spellbound looking up at the two wraithlike Oriental dragons in Twining around themselves as they climbed ever higher into the air climbing dipping undulating in an entrancing display of beauty this was only enhanced By the Light of the dying Sun which the dragons were being exposed to making the dragons glow in the colors of the rainbow sparkling like Crystal you know some people's Expressions changed midlife my fathers did after my sisters died in an ambush by the aiha clan he used to have Scrolls before his rage caused him to express chains Mito observed also staring at the brilliant chakra constructs issuing from her hands you know you can tell much about the character of an Uzumaki by the type of expression shown what do you mean well our chakra Expressions vary with our personalities and each expression has different uses for example my illusionary dragons are incorporeal but they can be used to transfer contact Jan jetsu as you saw in my uh little scuffle with the U Mito had the grace to blush a little they usually Express in people with calm and attentive personalities and they usually have rather low chakra levels for usumaki but they exhibit good chakra control she pointed at Naruto your Spike chains expression on the other hand is corporeal and rather more chakra intensive they can be utilized in barriers as flails and whips and be used to channel battlef and jetsu my brother used to channel explosive tags she chuckled whenever he stepped into a battlefield the whole area was full of potholes by the end your mother's chakra chains on the other hand were saturated with her gingeri seal that gave it chakra suppression abilities anyway this is a Warrior's expression it shows in people with loud tempers and louder personalities hey Naruto mock protested Meo giggled my mother on the hand expressed Shadow tendrils which is actually one of the rarest Expressions around it gave her a complete understanding of all chakra sources around her and the ability to completely suppress her own chakra she could even Channel healing chakra through them it expressed in people with a sensitive romantic nature and before you ask yes my mother was a sap for romance wouldn't stop whenever hashirama came over on Clan business Naruto stifled a giggle at mito's expression who knew family members would such fun slightly scowling Meo continued now the ceiling scripts which was my father's original expression was a Scholars and sealing experts expression it would Channel raw chakra making it invaluable for sealers and it could be used to form instant seals in the aare it was expressed in people of a studious nature slowly she let the chakra dragons fade as the iridescent Dragon slowly faded upwards Mido turned towards Naruto slowly leading him towards a rock formation near the clearing sit down huh the first step in accessing your expression is to calm your spirit Vito said serenely settling into saiza facing Naruto looking somewhat bemused Naruto followed suit now close your eyes Naruto hesitantly closed his eyes only for the world to seemingly burst open a few moments later reflexively he threw his eyes open as he yelled out in shock only to see mito's amused face looking back at him W what was that he asked hesitantly your first experience in being a true Uzumaki Meo stated elaborating when Naruto stared at her the Uzumaki are a clan that shares a close bond with chakra much more than other ninja and people especially ninja do not like being deprived of their sight therefore when a Shinobi meditates they begin to gain a slight sense of their surroundings from Chakra sensing it is simply much more acute in an Uzumaki when Naruto regained his posture Mito spoke again we'll have to adapt you chakra sensing later for now keep your eyes open and slowly try to match your breath with your heartbeat come on short breaths continuously Lube dub inhale Lube dub exhale inhale exhale slowly he could feel his body relax his muscles uncoiling and in the background he began to feel a rhythmic pulsing which was strangely out of beat mito's hypnotic voice washed over him can you feel another pulsing yes he whispered back afraid to disrupt this moment it felt somehow important that he not break this calm good that is your chakra now slowly chorus that pulse to match your body's beat start giving it a steady push slash pull and so he slowly began teasing the pulse slowing it down speeding it up until its be matched his heartbeat and his breathing ghost lady I did it he said his own voice sounding strange to his ears good now while concentrating on balancing the Beats tell me about the fight in the invasion you know the one you said g tried to kill you in as Naruto described his fight he found that strangely his emotions didn't seem to be expressed it was as if there was an abyss separating him from the outside world and it was widening when he was getting to the parts where the action had been thickened his voice began to get drowned buried under the surging blood pounding through his veins his quickening breath and the Roar of chakra as it rushed in his coils his surroundings began to get replaced and suddenly he was back in the clearing in the forest with a huge clawed hand made of sand was descending towards him he was frozen his chakra rushing past his ears then with a feeling like a sudden vacuum he felt as if his body was extending and then his body was cocooned in a cage of three crisscross spiked chains that were glowing a bright gold well done Naruto Quinn mito's voice cut through Naruto's Panic the world cleared and he found himself sitting in SAA with his chakra chain still forming a cage around him there was only one difference Mido was sitting in front of him one chakra Dragon sprouting from her extended hand to to bury into his chest his eyes widened in realization you put me in a jinjutsu Mito gave him a toothy grin that looked extremely out of place on her face if it works you know she said nonchalantly Naruto stared at her unrepentant face incredulously before the humor of the situation sank in along with the exhilaration of truly bringing his K Jen ey out then a giggle escaped his lips then a gfal before laughter was ringing across the secluded grounds ma looked at Naruto who was now leaning back on on his hands laughing as the three Spike chains were wagging behind him mimicking golden Tails slowly getting up she held out a hand for Naruto come along Naruto Quin how about I teach you the first exercise we had to do to control the chains back and Yuzu Meo proposed as Naruto took the profer hand still giggling with his chains hovering around him and what would that be Mito gave a cheeky grin it's called The Chain Walts want to learn how to make your chains dance Naruto bowed playfully lead the way Madam night had fallen and four Figures were crouched on the Treetops shall we a rough male voice inquired impatiently yeah what the are you waiting for shitthead a female voice hissed quiet a soft male voice declared we do not appear until SASE Sama is alone that was Oro chimaru sama's orders just then a rustling sound Was Heard as a tall ninja with a headband over one I strolled out of the house underwat before shun shining away sakan smiled the black black tattoo of the curse mark racing down his torso sound four move out frantic knocking roused the sleeping Naruto hey Naruto get up huh what was shakam doing at his apartment rolling out of the couch which was his temporary bed he sleepily stumbled to his door upon opening it Shikamaru almost tumbled into his apartment before he started at Naruto's hair Troublesome Naruto grinned sleepily sorry shika long story I'll tell you another time sh raised an eyebrow I don't want to know you Troublesome person he grumbled anyway get ready mission 1 hour north gate Naruto simply stared at him confusedly what do you mean I'm on training leave shakam palmed his face exasperated Troublesome Sasuke left the village yesterday what and apparently the village is still short-handed after the invasion so sonaris Sama told me to pick a team to go after them and to take you at that Naruto's mind began to work shrugging off the last remnants of sleep why had bachan told shakam to specifically get him after a moment he got his answer ghost lady seeing as she couldn't spare any higher Clash shobi it was obvious she wanted another safety net for the mission I'm all right I'll be there who are the others in the team shakam Shrugged well I was thinking of chuji and kba and maybe hanada or niiji what about bushy brow Lee he's still in the hospital Naruto thought about the group take take the Bund girl I think her name is tenent we're going to need a sniper all of us are close range other than you he said finally shikar nodded absently I'll ask nii to tell her come with me to ask the others Naruto shook his head no I've got some things to figure out meet you at the gate he turned to go back inside shakam aside Troublesome turning back with a lazy wave and Naruto do something to your hair I don't want everyone gaping at it during the mission you just don't want the chatter you lazy bum Naruto replied Troublesome as soon as shakam had left Naruto was cursing up a storm in the kitchen until he was interrupted by a sleepy female voice Naruto Kun shut up before I kill you Naruto yelled back ghost lady get up bachan needs you a sleepy Mumble answered him and Naruto's sweat dropped who knew that the courtly mosama was emphatically not an early riser repeated tries yielding only various versions of go away and assorted death threats Naruto finally in sheer desperation did the one thing that would wake up any Shinobi ghost lady code read there was a muted exploitive from her room before a series of thuds were heard finally a disgruntled Meo opened the door and stepped out cautiously one hand on her hair buns grabbing a Saban she had used to pin up her hair the door Naruto realized with a shiver was totally covered in Saban to the point it looked like a hedgehog seriously how many Saban did she hide in her hair Meo was growling in irritation as she analyzed the situation and found no imminent threat with an incense look on her face she stopped towards a cringy Naruto jabbing a finger to his chest you never do that for a prank Naruto waved his hands frantically trying to pacify her sorry sorry but it really was an emergency and you were not waking up and if you make me late bachan's going to kill me and shik is going to suspect and we're going to be late d Boo by now Mito was completely confused slow down Naruto Kun what's happened and for what would we be late Naruto scaled the team left the village last night and bachan told shik to get me I think she wants to be available as backup apparently no other chunin or jonin could be spared Mido scoffed aiha all of that blasted Clan think they God's own gift to the world and now what with that Massacre you told me about I think the total number of aiha in the village is zero yep that's why the village isn't such a Tiffy apparently the last aiha is too valuable to go missing he scoffed bitterly personally speaking if the bastard was stupid enough to abandon koha for the guy who killed the old man he deserves a slow death Mito laid a calming hand on his shoulder why would you think it's Oro chimaru he's run off to where else would he go the snake freak pretty much gave him an invitation at the forest of death and he knows he's too weak to kill his brother right now what with aachi putting him to a coma the last time they met feeling the emotions flowing off the young redhead Mito awkwardly asked Naruto what are you going to do when you find him Naruto's scull deepened I'm going to give him exactly one chance to surrender before I deal with him as any deserter would be execution the finality in his tone shocked Mito before she realized the true cause for Naruto's bitterness seeing the whole village praise the young arha while shunning him must have been harder for him than even he realized it was just not a case of loyalty or even Revenge with Naruto anymore though those factors undoubtedly contributed no this had a streak of jealousy of possessiveness all over it having yearned for what Sasuke had effortlessly got had left Naruto incapable of calmly dealing with the fact that Sasuke had spurned it Mito turned to prepare for the morning I'm going to meet with Susu before the mission and just to be clear I won't interfere unless anyone's in Mortal danger in battle my chakra use could interfere with your chakra unfavorably Naruto who was searching for his canai pouch nodded absently sure see you at the gate ghost lady and when we get there communicate with the yuio hand signs I taught you yesterday we don't want your classmates to know of me unless it's absolutely necessary at the North Gate a curious group of jenon was gathering kba was glaring at niiji together with akamu who was growling Tenten was polishing a canai and chuji was calmly eating chips Shikamaru had his head in his hands a short distance away invisible to the group M was calmly perched on a nearby Branch watching the group of jennen that Troublesome Naruto if we get late then sady Sama is going to punish me yeah what's the deal we don't need that guy kba interrupted shooting a glare at niiji who continued to ignore him he added and on top of that Shikamaru why do we need this jerk Hinata would have been much better akamu barked in agreement shakam aside Troublesome hanada is still not cleared for strenuous missions by suady sama and nii here has the strongest beugen in all the jenin of the clan he cracked a small grin besides Naruto recommended both nii and Tenten huh Tenten had been distracted from polishing the kai by shikamaru's remark that blonde orange [ __ ] kba snickered at her description I've never even met the guy why would he recommend me cause yosua kutsu is awesome datab beo a loud voice behind them caused all of them to turn around to face the figure coming up the road towards them even as Tenten blushed at the comment as the figure came closer several pairs of eyes widened in disbelief annoying verbal tick check blaring orange jumpsuit check whisker markings check blonde hair chha with a moan shikura face bombed Troublesome Naruto I told you to cover your head Naruto just grinned and not see your faces no thanks nii choose that particular moment to enter the the conversation Naruto s he asked in a monotone why is your hair dyed red Naruto rubbed his head sheepishly taking the chance to do a few obscure hand signs behind his head he was immediately tapped Thrice on the shoulder from shikamaru's narrowed eyes Naruto thought he probably didn't miss it so much for obscurity ah it's a long story datab Bale keba snorted knowing you you probably fell into a vat of paint do he said dismissively Naruto reared up at the insult you want to go dog boy shakam got up everybody shut up the group all went silent even the gate guards were looking at them interestedly after all it wasn't often that you saw that most lazy species the male Nara raised their voice shikami Troublesome looking at the group he mentally decided the formation all right this mission is to retrieve Sasuke from what is speculated to be Shinobi of sound from what is known he went willingly the group's reactions were varied at this particular Revelation shikura noticed the most expressive were kibas whose cursing and the growls of akima let everyone know exactly what they thought the ones least phased were niji and to shikamaru's surprise Naruto who simply gritted his teeth so it seems he isn't surprised that Sasuke went to sound but I never told him that he thought H interesting we will set off towards the northern borders with rice country where hidden sound is rumored to be kba keba looked up you and aamer take point you are going to on the lookout for any scent Trails of either Sasuke or the sound Shinobi I assume you know the terrain kba puffed up his chest piece of cake my mom used to take us tracking in these Woods I know them like the back of my hand n aamu a series of barks answered him shakam continued ignoring kba's exuberance I will be immediately behind kba because I'm the team leader and I will take the front tenton San will be immediately behind me because she is the sniper any object CS everybody shook their heads Naruto will cover the left and he will stay to the left of the main formation near the center in case of an attack you will distract the enemy using your kaga buunshin Naruto looked at him uncomprehending but before shikura could elaborate Naruto straightened up got it stay to the left between you and Tenten Chan why didn't you just say so shamaran narrowed his eyes in suspicion before he let out a long-suffering sigh Troublesome he muttered under his breath not taking his eyes off Naruto something strange was going on and though this was his first time leading he already knew that he didn't like it when his team had Secrets right he drawled before looking at chuji chuji you take the same position as Naruto but to the right you will be the finisher of the team you only engage when there is a clear Target chuji simply nodded still munching a chip Shikamaru turned to nii nii San you are our rear guard you take position behind tenton San and I need you to do a full be kugan skin over the area every 5 minutes if that is possible he asked nii nii nodded somewhat indignantly as if shakam had called his expertise into question shakam took a deep breath all right then let's move out just as they were about to take to the trees a yell came from behind them wait what Shikamaru whined as they were delayed again the person turned out to be a TI Sakura followed by a clearly reluctant Eno which gave shakam the beginnings of a headache it only worsened when Sakura spotted Naruto instantly changing her demeanor she marched up to him a fisted hand reared back to punch him Naruto how dare you show your face Sasuke left because of you you do the team was staring at Sakura unsure as to what they should do Naruto shakam noticed had gone very still Sakura seemingly saw it as well for she froze in her attempt to punch Naruto a faint pulse of killing intent issued from Naruto blanketing the surrounding as he tilted his head studying Sakura intently bluish wisps of chakra were emanating from his body and shikamaru's attention was drawn to the faint reddish tint it had taken until he saw Naruto's face Naruto's face was drawn to an expression that shakam would have sworn a month ago would never be present on Naruto's face especially towards Sakura his presumed crush the malicious smirk on his face combined with the red hair shakam had never before noticed just how much like fresh blood it looked dripping down his face in a lanky curtain it gave Naruto a chilling resemblance to a homicidal gar why Sakura do you think your boyfriend running away had anything to do with me he took a step towards Sakura and she instinctively stepped back shikamaru's hands were halfway into the sign for C no Jutsu before he remembered himself surely it would not come to blows Naruto's face Twisted in Amusement though his lengthening fingernails gave lie to his expression though it is possible that he only stayed in koha because he wanted to be with me how wonderful I had a fandel and didn't even even know it don't you think it's a Pity Shikamaru narut he said warningly ready to step in narut gave him a dismissive glance cool down Chik this is just a little Union between ex-teammates isn't it Sakura Chan Sakura swallowed Naruto's smirk widened to the extent that it looked toothy canine's glinting now now Sakura no need to act so scared I'm sure you weren't going to hit me now were you good you can learn after all what a surprise now as for your little boyfriend he left the village and unless he has a very good excuse he is a traitor to the village and do you know koha's policy towards traitor Sakura of course you do what with that huge brain of yours don't you if he resists capture and if I know Sasuke he will he will be killed I'll probably do it myself he wouldn't be the first traitor I've dealt with after Mizuki Sensei Sasuke won't be a problem ignoring the others gasps Naruto leaned into Sakura's horrified face eyes tinged with red so if you want want to see your dear sasun alive again my dear sukuran you're better pray your pretty little head off that he listens to reason he turned his back to Sakura who was now shaking personally I doubt it with his last statement hanging around the gathered Shinobi like a death nail he leapt towards the tree lean and out of the gate you guys coming with a sigh and an apologetic look towards Eno shakam gave the signal and a SAS retrieval team leapt towards the trees leaving a shocked Eno and a terrified Sakura standing in the middle of the road half an an hour into the Sprint kba had found the trails of Sasuke and the sound Shinobi right up until the scent of Sasuke had disappeared figuring Sasuke was simply being carried by the sound Shinobi though he did not know the reason shakam had ordered the team to Trail the scent of the sound Shinobi they had met a team of wounded patrolling jonan along the way Rao and ginai of shikamaru's memory served and both had met and been defeated by the sound according to their report the group had consisted of four sound Jan who had all shifted to what they had described as a monster form one had carried a barrel of sorts that they said was covered in seals which yukam guessed was where they kept Sasuke however a reason for doing so eluded him shakam sighed he really hated this sort of situations where critical information was missing of course this was not the only thing bothering him his team was uneasy even kba who was Notorious for being chatty during missions was keeping quiet only speaking when necessary and casting wey glances at a still fuming Naruto une was hanging around the team like a blanket and Naruto's continuing ill temper was beginning to wear upon them shakam had to admit that the scene at the North Gate had intimidated even him a little Naruto had always been that somewhat stupid clumsy showof that no one took seriously never had he seen Naruto so intimidating at the gate Naruto had looked almost feral maruan shikura San shikura looked at nii who had been the one who had called yes nii San nii had his beer cooken active four targets directly ahead carrying a sealed Barrel that the Bakugan cannot penetrate 500 M targets appear to be resting everyone stop at shikamaru's command everyone dropped out of the trees to the forest below what is it shika Naruto's voice was tur shikar merely pointed the ground about a foot in front of kba where a thin ninja wire likee substance was just visible in the sunlight kba winced traps there's even more in the branches it's a complete we up there tenen looked at nii can't your eyes see them nii grimaced probably if I was doing a 128 Palms otherwise they're too thin in the Huga Clan probably only Hayashi Sama and the elders have Bakugan that are strong enough to see this normally shakam considered their options from the complexity of the webbing it was highly unlikely that he could get the whole team through without snagging at least one wire which would render a sneak attack useless on the contrary barreling through would only lead them to an ambush the only possible option was say Naruto exactly how many clones can you make for the first time since the incident Naruto grinned shikura suddenly felt a vague sense of Doom exactly how impossible was Naruto going to be this time the sound four were resting from the battle with the jonan and their release of the cursed seals in the middle of their Circle was the barrel containing Sasuke it was slightly smoking hey fatty how much longer till the aiha is ready jiru the one who was addressed looked at the speaker and sighed tya a girl shouldn't talk that way tya tossed her pink hair over her shoulder in irritation and what are you going to do about it fat ass jobus simply sighed when the third member of their group suddenly sat up what's up kadaru jobba asked before noticing that kadam was smirking ah the koha trash is smarter than I thought he observed with an excited gleam in his eyes this is going to be an exciting game suddenly the clearing was Disturbed as the fourth member of the team dropped down into the clearing sakan was quite obviously Disturbed we've got to go now we're being surrounded tya smirked why you afraid of clones koha doesn't have enough manpower to surround us bird brain kadam interrupted looking quite excited they're all disturbing my web they're all solid clones I want to fight that one he continued we can't even tell where the real ones are this is going to be a good game sakan SED we're not here to fight trap as kadaru remember Oro chimaru Sama needs us as soon as possible I'm getting hungry I could stay behind jirobo suggested suddenly the one still head poking out of the neck of sakan spoke listen to my little brother here we've got to go now a feral shout interrupted them it's too late for that sound bastards from all sides of the clearing an avalanche of Naruto descended intent on burying the sound four under a mountain of clones in an instant kadaru had held his six hands above him while Jobo had lifted the barrel and tya and sakan had shifted into defensive positions beside jobu spider bind a whsh web of spider webbing issued from kadam's hands repelling the incoming clones moments later all the Clones disappeared in puffs of smoke obscuring the area in Chakra smoke a quiet voice rang out in the confusion cage man no Jutsu complete instantly the sound for found themselves stuck in place unable to move G sua with a yell kba and AMU launched themselves at the Barrel in jobu's hands meanwhile in the opposite end of the battle Naruto was hiding in the bushes ghost lady do you really think this is a good idea Meo nodded somberly you've been more emotional lately haven't you Naruto nodded puzzled what does that have to do with this your seals adjusting to your body's changes so it's going to a bit unstable for some time that's why I told you to remove yourself from the direct line of sight you know if anything even grazes you it gives the fox an opening to to push its own chakra into your body and we don't need to stress your body on top of everything else seeing Naruto's mutinous face she continued hly look Naruto kin the Nara told you to distract the enemy you know and in that position you don't need to be in the formation in fact it would be detrimental to do so Naruto nodded deflated it still feels like hiding he grumbled absently creating another batch of clones to run interference think of it this way if they run into trouble they have a trump card even they don't know about kadaru hastily used his spider sticky gold ability to form TFA which he used to deflect a hail of Kai coming at him from the bun haired girl it had only taken them pulsing the first stage of their cursed seals to break free of the spiky-haired boy jetsu after which the fight had turned into a free-for-all looking around he saw jbu playing around with the inuzuka and his dog still carrying the barrel tya was simply using Tai Jitsu bobbing and weaving around the shadow user and the fat boy while sakan was being attacked by the Huga numerous copies of the blonde boy were flitting around the battles mostly providing distractions for the koha team none of them were any real threat however they were numerous and rather slippery making them a pain to fight unless they went all out looking at the others he saw that all of them had reached the same conclusion even tya who would have normally opposed the decision what with her inability to accept defeat they couldn't activate their curs seals now or they would be in no shape to deliver the aiha to Orochimaru this left only one alternative nodding to Tai yaa he ducked beneath a flying mace and dispelled the Clone with a punch before firing off a Jutsu spider sticking spit the tough roping net catching tenton by surprise she hardly had time to do more than cross her arms in front of her before she was brutally pulled from her tree perch and into an offguard niiji at the same time tya had caught both Shikamaru and shuji by their wrists proceeding to sling them both into the already unbalanced group in front of them Hey fat ass now with a grunt of exertion jirobo caught the incoming ditsa in his palm Pals before grounding them while kba and the others were just shaking off their shock he slammed his palms to the ground Doan Doro with a crumbling sound curved Earth walls grew around the group trapping the group in a giant Dome of stone and Earth giru grinned throwing the barrel to kadaru with one hand the other on the Dome chakra glowed in the space between his hand and the Earth Dome you go on I'm hungry I'll just drain some chakra from this trash before joining up Kadar gave him a questioning look are you sure one rat escaped after all jobba Shrugged uninterested if that koha trash is stupid enough to show his face I'll kill him too or better yet eat his chakra he seems to have a lot Naruto watched unsettled as the sound four easily routed the koha team's strategy with brute strength but that was not the worst Naruto that Dome is sucking chakra out of its prisoners Naruto racked his brains for a solution on one hand sang meant that he would let the sound for out out of sight which he was loathed to do on the other he wasn't sure that the others had enough Brute Force to overpower the dome right ghost lady you track down the other sound chinobi and leave a trail for me to follow I'll take this Glutton out Mito turned to him surprised but Naruto KU and Naruto just gave her a look before stepping out of his hiding place the first notice Jobo had of his new opponent was a speeding golden chain rushing towards his hands upon his Hasty Retreat however the chains abruptly changed Direction and and headed for the Earth Dome shattering it like glass to reveal his bewildered teammates nobody even flinched when the Clone that had been pretending to be him dispelled in a burst of smoke being preoccupied was staring at Naruto o shika take the others and go I'll get back to you Naruto shouted ignoring the gopping of the koha team Jobo slowly flexed his arms the first stage of the cursed seal Rippling across his skin you aren't going anywhere koha trash two more chakra chains rippled out of Naruto's arms in reply without taking his eyes off of jibu he spoke shika go now before the fight begins I can handle myself with a yell jira lifted up a piece of the very Earth's surface above his head looking like a drawing of Atlas Doan Doro Dango he bit out through his exertion Levering himself to throw it at them with a slight nod towards Naruto Shikamaru and the rest of the team fled the clearing just as Naruto's chain speared through the enormous Boulder in a deafening crash Meo flitted across the Treetops of the forests of the the h no Kuni following the three sound ninja as they ran for the tan no Kuni border traveling as close as she dared to the spider-like Shinobi she thought his name was kadaru she was urgently trying to decipher the seals on the barrel however her mind was not in it she was pondering the Enigma that was the cursed seal Mito in all of her cealing Mastery and experience had never seen such an affusion of chakra as that emitting from the small seal that was branded on all of the sound for and in an entirely Academic Way She was fascinated by it a seal with a chakra source of its own was somewhat unbelievable seals could not manufacture chakra Only Store it not to mention that the seals stank to her acute senses of corrupted chakra but she could see that it wasn't containing a demon or even the chakra of one if it was the rate of chakra seepage through the seal would have meant that the potency of its flow would visibly reduce no what she was looking at right now was something alien to her knowledge something totally in the realm of the unknown but the possibility for a seal to actually create chakra intrigued her seducing her with its possibilities after all if she could adapt it to her own Matrix she would be free from the chakra leash tying her abilities to Naruto Quin she was interrupted from her thoughts by the mutterings between the sound Shinobi bird brain Taya needled sakan who looked torn between amused and angry at the constant insults uttered by the only kunoichi in the group why are we moving so slowly waiting for the fat ass to catch up no we're just conserving our energy for if we run across any more Patrols we want to be able to fight our way out we wouldn't need to bother if we crawl like this tya mumbled if you [ __ ] don't in pick your pace up Orochimaru Sama will probably give us to Manda seeing kadara Snicker she turned on him what are you laughing at you spinley arole I don't care if you want to be in snake bait if you don't in move faster I'm taking that Bloody barrel and getting out of here Mito listening to the conversation was getting increasingly worried according to her senses the koha team was at least Le 5 minutes away and from what Cady had told her there was no patrols that were likely to meet this group if they accelerated now they would probably get away without any further Interruption she couldn't allow that however she didn't want to use Jutsu either what with the chakra drained to Naruto in a potentially hostile situation her choices were taken out of her hands immediately afterwards sakan was nodding all right we'll go first level of the Cur seal until the Border tyya kadaru can you handle that kadaru frowned I can I guess but I really wanted to play with that clone spawning Kohan that would have been a boss battle tyya smirked the markings of her cursed seal already spreading through her body of course I can handle that who did you think I was bird bra you Mito sighed hoping she didn't do anything to seriously endanger Naruto snapping through a few deliberate hand seals she intoned genjutsu net of Tranquility Shikamaru was troubled as he led the team SS Naruto across the forests and Trail of the sound Shinobi and Sasuke at their rear they could still make out the signs of Naruto fighting with that Behemoth of a Shinobi Naruto shikura had always thought him a bit of a mystery with his inexplicable friendship with the saname Hokage however during this Mission it had seemingly come to a head Naruto was proving more and more of an enigma the more the mission progressed and it didn't make Shikamaru any less wary of the blonde turned redhead Shikamaru had noticed when Naruto had substituted with one of the numerous KAG bun shin he had flooded the landscape with the rather well-executed substitution had not really irked him it would have been Folly to expose the original moreover he had been more than slightly stunned by then being a technique derived from the Nara Clan kuroi bun Shin shakam knew the limitations of the solid clone technique for Naruto to use it to create possibly a thousand clones without even looking winded meant that he had chakra reserves beyond belief shakam doubted that even the sandam Hokage Jutsu Powerhouse that he was could have spawned as many but he knew that his Ur while partner in skipping Academy lectures had rather unbelievable reserves no what had truly troubled the spiky-haired chunin was the strange mood swings that Naruto had exhibited and he had not forgotten the strangely colored chakra that Naruto had emitted during his altercation with Sakura suddenly the surrounding was rocked by a giant explosion a giant cloud of dust erupted from behind them before an unearthly scream Was Heard reflexively looking back along with the others even nii he saw a sight that made his stomach turn in the light of the Noonday Sun glinting in the sunlight three of the strange chain like chakra constructs that Naruto had employed earlier rows into the sky weaving around each other and speared at the top of it with chains piercing through his head heart and stomach lay the undoubtedly dead body of jbu shakam thought it may have been the Sun but for a moment the chains had seemed more red than the gold they had been before drip drip drip a figure was lying prone on the ground in the middle of an enormous crater it was a boy wearing the tattered remnants of a jumpsuit and he was covered in blood none of which were his the boy was also to his complete surprise not dead speaking of not dying that was close Naruto thought as he finally recovered his equilibrium enough to open his eyes what in the nine Hells happened anyway his shocked eyes observed the pillar of chakra chains protruding from his stomach rather clinically as if it was simply an amusing artifact until with yet another drip a drop of viscous lip liid fell onto his face when he absent wiped it away his hands stained a dark unclean red looking up his gaze slid along the chains which had curious Crimson veins in them to the top where his stomach turned in disgust the dead body of jbo was hanging there held up by three of his Spike chains piercing his body one through the head one through the heart and the other through the stomach the stomach was torn open and his eyes wide open in a terrified stare curiously blackish blood was pouring through the chains from various gaping wounds wounds dripping to the ground around him how had he gotten here flashback kab banin no Jutsu stay still koha trash why so you can punch me no thanks three chakra chains curved around jobu's still figure attacking spearing at him from opposite sides jobu twisted around avoiding the coordinated attacks of the chakra chains while trying to find the real Naruto who kept out of his reach fine you want to play it that way Arad fist pressure Palm with a resounding cck as jobu struck the ground with an open Palm creating a minor earthquake that managed to dispel most of the Clones however in the next second he had to vacate his position as Naruto's spiked chains veered into him jobu grimaced running forward again to engage his ever elusive Target I'm getting fed up with you [ __ ] Naruto cracked a grin so what are you going to do about it reaching down jobu clenched His Hands On The Ground Doan Doro Dango before Naruto could puncture the giant boulder like before it was flying towards him hastily Crossing his arms before him Naruto in toned spiked chains barrier the three chains rearranged themselves into a web patterned Shield when The Rock smashed into the barrier though it held for about a second before the sheer bulk of the projectile overwhelmed it the giant boulder crashed into the place where Naruto had been with a resounding crash then a puff of chakra smoke erupted from the ruins of the Boulder and Naruto raced from behind jobu holding a swirling ball of chakra raisen gan Jobo hastily turned towards him flipping through hand seals Doan dor kagi a slab of stone hinged up from the ground shielding jbu only to be bored through by the raisin G however when he drilled through the Earth slab his torso came into contact with jobu's knee Arad fist Rising knee the Naruto burst into smoke revealing it to be yet another kaban shin just as another Spike chain whipped into jbu jiru jumped back increasing the distance between him and Naruto a band abing his attempts to get closer to Naruto and settling into a stance Cur seal level two activate Jobo started to morph his hair extended his skin colored and warts started to appear on his face Naruto looked on intrigued wow you got even uglier than before with a roar jobba launched himself at Naruto Arad fist Rock attack Naruto attempted to dance away from the attack like he had been doing during the whole fight only to find that jobu's transformation had not been entirely cosmetic he had become exponentially faster with a siing crack jobu's fist buried itself into Naruto's chest he could dimly hear his ribs break before he was flung backwards and into a tree struggling to breathe he found himself vomiting blood staining the torn remains of his jumpsuit your finished little jenin jobu scoffed turning away I'm jobu of the south gate did you really think a jennin like you could beat me Naruto's Vision stained red as QB chakra erupted around his body Jobo had just finished his fight with the annoying clones spawning Maverick jenin after all no one could get back up from having their chest caved in even if the boy's ribs had not gone into his heart and pierced his lungs the force would have liquefied some of the organs in his torso what a waste he idly thought as he walked back out of the clearing slowly releasing his cursed seal I could really have used his chakra a red glow filled the area behind him causing him to twist around in shock only to have pain shoed across his body as crimson claws sliced across his torso he looked up in disbelief coming face to face with the creature that the Jenine that should have been dead had become Crimson viscous chakra was coiling around the redhead and coils as he crouched on all fours growling at jobba like an enraged Beast the whisker-like markings had thickened considerably and his Crimson eyes were glaring at him suffused and killing intent his three chakra chains were present behind him swaying in a hypnotic rhythm shirabu noticed that the previously golden chains had Crimson veins traversing their length while the base of the chain seemed to have been set on fire jobu's wounds hissed as they attempted to heal due to the influence of the Cur seal even as the possessed jenon in front of him snarled at him his whole body wrapped in an unnatural Crimson glow a moment passed with the two transformed Shinobi staring at each other across the clearing then snarling at each other they leapt at each other intent to kill leaning back to avoid an uppercut from jbu Naruto slashed wildly at him with his claws followed by his chains lunging at jobu as he attempted to evade the rushing claws Jobo managed to block the majority of the attacks with his increased speed but the third Spike chain coming at him from behind toring to his side as he dodged cursing fluently jobu immediately backtracked who the hell are you he asked disbelievingly receiving only a roar in reply before the beast-like Jen and tore towards him note to self don't get too close to a person with a cursed seal Naruto thought dazed as he tried to get up from the punishing blow to his chest it felt like he had been hit with a bad in Dam he could distinctly feel that several of his ribs were outright broken and he was having trouble breathing blood was filling his mouth and he was somewhat sure that his lungs were punctured or Worse the pain was excruciating why had he gotten so close to jbu and why hadn't he retreated when he had upgraded his curs seal well he could perhaps take solace in the fact that he wouldn't die from this seeing as the fox wouldn't let him the Fox Naruto could remember the hazy outline of a conversation he had had just before they parted a nagging voice in his head was telling him that it was somehow important what had she said if anything even grazes you it gives the fox an opening to push its own chakra into your body and we don't need to stress your body on top of everything else oh [ __ ] he could already feel an unnatural warmth spreading from his seal chakra being released in an ever increasing Deluge that covered his body his body stressed out already from the Uzumaki molding would not be in good enough shape to let him handle the power even the poultry amount that he normally could and he knew the seal was stressed he had checked on it yesterday and the cracks running along the length of the control run at the center had not been reassuring he would have had to strengthen the seal in about 3 years time based on the speed of Decay but with this latest complication he would be lucky for it to last the mission the acid-like chakra was racing along his chakra coils scorching them and healing them at the same time as his body was glowing in the reddish glow of the chakra he barely had time to look at the phenomenon however since in the next moment the chakra had reached head rip tear hate kill his bones were popping his body reassembling his mangled chest as he got into a Crouch snarling but Naruto was not aware no Naruto was locked in his own Mind Blinded by the extreme negative feelings that were running rampant throughout his mind courtesy of the QB disinterested in the current battle in favor of letting his mind survive the vicious assault his mind retreated to itself protecting itself from The Rage of the QB that had never felt so terrible so undiluted so pure so Naruto sat there in the darkness haessly fighting to protect himself from the unnatural emotions as outside a beast raged reigning primordial destruction on the creature that had been monumentally stupid enough to anger it jobu for the first time since his fight with kimimaro feared for his life he had tried bashing Boulders on the Beast he had tried pummeling it to death and he had even once succeeded in capturing it in another Doro however it was proving to be useless in stopping it and it was proving to be nothing if not Relentless in its attempts it would simply regenerate from whatever wounds Joba managed to inflict on it in a shorter time than jobba took to inflict them in the first place and the wounds it placed on him in return proved to especially immune to the Cal's healing not to mention that the one time he tried to absorb the beast's chakra in his doroma the chakra had scorched his chakra Pathways and almost caused him to drop out of his cursed seal mode only getting another slash across his shoulder for the trouble compounding his problems the twinges of pain originating from his Cur seal were getting worse he was running out of time he was mly interrupted when a chakra chain snagged his tunic throwing off his balance and making him stumble onto an equally surprised Naruto who growled at him even as jobu tried to LEAP away the everpresent chakra chain circled behind jobu the large lethal spikes aimed at his head as Jobo was in the Dare when Jobo was milliseconds away from a gory death however Naruto seemingly went into shock his Crimson eyes dilated the red slowly bleeding out as the chains disintegrated in the air Naruto's body continued to spasm for a few seconds before going still Jobo cautiously got up staring at the boy his curse seal was troubling him but he had been a worthy opponent and he deserved to be dispatched as such concentrating what remained of the cursed Seal's power to one hand his body slowly leeched of the cursed Seal's influence except his hand which was now wathed in the levent looking purple chakra he I was hoping to use this on kimaro he thought Riley as he prepared for a final attack Arad fist palm of finality as jobu's chakra Reed Palm neared his face Naruto's eyes snapped open clouded blue eyes staring at the approaching hand in confusion even as his body instinctively rolled away from the attack jobu stumbled at missing his Mark slamming his palm into the ground in an overwhelming explosion of shrapnel off balance jobu fell in a heap onto a seemingly unconscious Naruto who was bleeding over his eye himself from the shrapnel from jobu's latest attack his old man Naruto murmured what did you say trash Jobo demanded Ed belligerently struggling to end Naruto's life as he lifted one bulky hand towards Naruto's I said this is for the old man three chains burst from Naruto's Naval shooting through jbu killing him instantly as they punched through his body carrying it into the air pinned onto the spiked edges Naruto let out a relieved sigh I did it he observed before he succumbed to exhaustion and flashback groaning Naruto pushed the corpse of jobu off his chains letting it hit the ground in a spurt of blood as he struggled to get up ignoring his protesting body he had no time for this not when the others were in danger struggling to his feet he broke into a stumbling run onwards without a backwards glance at the bleeding corpse of his first real kill disappearing into the forest following the discret swirl markings left by Meo Mito had to say she enjoyed the frustrated looks on the sound Shinobi as they tried and failed to enter the initial Cal stage of course seeing as it was a quite Elementary technique she supposed the illusion would shatter soon after all if one managed to even nudge the Cur seal awake the resulting chakra infusion would tear away the rest of the illusion those in koha bastards must have done something tayuya muttered angrily as she continued to try to activate her cursed seal while running sakan Shrugged only the minute twitch of his eyes giving away his unease it doesn't matter we don't need the seals to take care of trash kadam grinned sharply this game is getting even more interesting he crowed madly I hope Joba left some for me I could use a good fight sakan looked ready to reprimand sakan when the trees behind them rustled due to a pursuing Shinobi taking alert stances they were relieved to find it was only jbu up in the trees behind them Mido sighed in relief finally the koha team had caught up it happened in an instant jobus suddenly wrenched the barrel from kadam's hands and jumped back as a pair of spinning blurs smashed into a surprise sakan launching them into the air and down a precipice with a roar of Rage kadaru leapt at Shikamaru who had transformed back only to be blocked by a jenin in white clothes and distinctive pupiless eyes a Huga kadaru sneered savagely at niiji auga are you that eager to die trash niiji not daning him with a reply simply settled into a juk and stance activating his buan meanwhile Tenten was staring at the precipice down which kba akamu and the strange two headed Shinobi had fallen muttering an exploitive she turned to Shikamaru who was weily eyeing the female member of the sound for for I'm going after kba shakam nodded tiredly handing the barrel to chuji this is so Troublesome tya smirked condescendingly at Shikamaru you're going to fight me you scrawny rat Shikamaru looked at her eyes litted you really like talking don't you Troublesome woman ignoring a steaming tya he turned to chuji chuji get that Barrel back to koha as soon as possible he said seriously wincing as niji activated Kon to deflect some of kadar's projectiles turning back to tya he ran off Eager to put some distance between them and the other fight she ran after him forming hand seals and snarling at him don't you dare run you rat I'm going to in crush you so bad they'll have to scrape you off to bury Kos no Jutsu multiple puffs of smoke issued from behind her causing shikura to scowl of course I had to get the angry girl with the summons Troublesome the smoke dissipated revealing three enormous and grotesque figures behind tya sh kamaru losing his composure gaped what the hell is that kayya gave him a predatory grin her curse seal markings spreading over her body in jagged lines Cur seal level one activate these are my Doki shitthead so ready to die shui rush back towards koha stubbornly trying not to think of what Shikamaru and the others were facing and failing miserably in the attempt it had not escaped him that the original team formation that shakam had banked on for their triumph over the team of higher ranked n had been destroyed in the chaos of the splintered groups that were now fighting for their lives in the forest keba taking on the apparent leader may have surprised him for a moment but it was hardly a surprise the inuzuka had been spoiling for a fight ever since his loss to Naruto and his rapid progress had probably pushed the thorn deeper leading kba to do something daring in order to show Naruto who was the alpha of the pack Shikamaru taking on Jen juts user as the strategist and longrange attacker of the group was a no-brainer though chuji still felt nervous when he thought of Shikamaru facing the foul mild redhead and it was natural that as the team member possessing the best defense niji would Engage The Spider like nen who seemed capable of creating weapons at will but Naruto who had fought no was fighting he would a lose hope the plump team member if Naruto had not interfered it would have been his fight that much he knew his techniques were the best possible match up for jobu so why had Shikamaru not ordered them to switch with a faint sense of horror chuji realized that shakam had made a tactical decision to leave Naruto to fend for himself Naruto's presence had led to tensions within the team and Naruto was strong enough to pose a threat to any of the sound for and though shakam would have denied it to his dying breath shakam would have been relieved to not send shuji into danger and possible death shakam had considered Naruto the most Expendable of the team which was a sobering thought clenching his fists slightly chuji quickened his Pace as he sprinted back to koha conveniently backtracking to the first confrontation after all even with all the mystery surrounding Naruto lately he was shuji's friend he only hoped it was not too late as he quickened his Pace clutching the barrel tightly behind him invisible Mido flitted through the Treetops keeping a lookout for any signs of Naruto she was pretty sure that her decision to use a Jen juta on the sound me had been warranted after all she still didn't fully understand the mechanics of the cursed seal if it enhanced their physical abilities as she suspected the koha team might have never caught up to them still using lone chakra without prompting while the donor was in a combat state was no joke not to mention that she had felt the slightest Whisper of the cues vile scent in the chakra transmitted to her the transference seal she had on him would normally filter out perceived impurities in the donor's chakra but acostic chakra Li the cubes could still cause it to burn out which meant that Naruto and by association her seal had been subject to a strong dose of QB chakra recently that was not reassuring still the akimichi boy Yi was not moving in the direction of koha which was to southsouth east of their location but South retracing their steps this meant that he was going to check up on Naruto and possibly team up with him before they retreated to koha the bushes rustled slightly below bringing her out of her Ry chuji seemed to have not heard it but Mito saw one of his hands creeping towards his canai chain she smirked that was nothing less than what she had expected from an akimichi who were notorious for their hunting abilities and Forestry together with the Nar Clan suddenly a group of small projectiles impacted the ground in front of chuji who immediately somersaulted above the projectiles landing on a nearby Branch facing his attacker chuji took out his canai chain draping it over his body as his opponent emerged from the bushes it was a young man looking to be in his late teens with white hair dressed in a loose long sleeved shirt and black pants he had a purple inverted bow similar to the other members of the sound for and his green eyes took in the koha Shinobi carrying the barrel superiorly as as if he was above dealing with him but there was one thing Mito noticed with increasing unease the boy had two red circular Clan markings on his forehead denoting him a member of the kagaya clan looking intently at the projectiles aimed at chuji she noticed that they were bones specifically digits of fingers so they were facing a shikat samaki user a bone manipulator of the cursed clan of kaday Clan of mizun No Kuni Mito could feel what little chakra she could manipulate in her body pulsing as she prepared to fight her body was getting ready to fight she knew for certain that the young akimichi of Naruto's class did not have a ghost of a chance against the kagaya especially one with a bloodline the bloodthirsty nature of the clan was long documented even her brother Shin who was famous for his love of battle had hesitated entering the kagay lands that combined with their bloodline had given the kagaya clan a demonic reputation with the civilian population of Mizu considering them Advocates of the Shinigami and now she was to fight one the lack of fluctuations in Naruto's chakra meant that his particular fight was over but that gave no specification on Naruto's condition she did not even know if she could safely leech any more chakra from him without endangering his life however she could not allow chuji to face this monster without backup especially when handicapped by the large barrel it looked like chuji would be the first of Naruto's classmates to learn of her existence meanwhile the white-haired kagaya was talking to chuji his voice was a monotone as if he was utterly uninterested in what he was saying hand over Sasuke trash I do not have time to kill you now chuji tightened his grip on the barrel and Mido saw the chakra flow in his arms become erratic he was no doubt preparing for one of the multi-size techniques of his clan you can go to hell call off your guard dogs and exit the Land of fire or be killed for trespass the kaga's face twitched oh well in that case koha jenon I am kagay kimaro and I will be your executioner bones grew out of his palms elbows Shoulders Knees and sharp lethal looking spikes Dance of the willow kba rolled to a stop at the base of the cliff he had taken a dive into finally stopping his momentum to come to a stop near akamu who had regained his feet before kba said dog was growling at something behind him so with a groan he stood up only to find the figure of the sound Shinobi he had tackled slowly getting up oh man guess it was too much to ask for you to die in the fall keba asked rhetorically as the strange two-headed man finally got up glaring at him you are going to to pay for that koha trash he spat out before the head facing backwards spoke for once I agree little brother trash like you should not attack their superiors if you don't want to die kba scoffed I don't know what sort of freak you are you bastard but you are going down for legs technique Beast human clone aimera turned into a clone of kba who had gained animalistic characteristics of his own after the four- legs technique priming themselves the two jumped at the opposing Shinobi spinning like a PA pair of drills guga the guga tore through the stationary sakan but as kba turned back he found two people where one had been before completely unharmed with a black pattern on their skin covering opposite halves of their bodies Cur seal level one activate what the hell the pair simply smirked as they approached each other before they toba's surprise merged at the hip leaving one person standing with two torsos the strange figure leapt above him Landing behind the spinning keba before extending his leg in a roundhouse Ki multiple connected feet solid feet materialized from the extended foot repeatedly battering kba from behind making him crash into the ground using his partner as a cover akamu in his Beast human clone State spun above the fallen kba into San's face sakan crossed his hands over his chest confidently as Yukon completely disappeared into him in toning multiple connected fists from his crossed hands fists appeared growing off each other as they batted the incoming aimera with repeated punches aimera flew flew away from barrage of fists his transformation dispelling as he hit the ground with a Yelp sakan scoffed did trash like you really think you could take me sakan of the west gate on by yourself the head hanging from his neck chortled aren't you forgetting someone little brother my name is Yukan koha trash and this is my brother sakan remember the names for they are the names of your killer kba got up slowly wiping a trail of blood from his mouth and smirking didn't the snake bastard tell you not to monol in the middle of a fight now akamu Dynamic marking the brothers settled into a defensive stance as akamu leapt up from behind kba employing an elementary Tua however instead of drilling towards them as sakan expected akamu instead made a wide overhead pass a moment later sakan and Yukan were sprayed with a strong smelling liquid dousing them ug sakan Grimes did your dog just piss on me now I'm getting angry I'm going to kill you kba who had used sakon's moment momentary distraction to slip past them and beside akamu spoke through a fit of Giggles oh I get it you're pissed yuk can growled at the pun as kba sniggered settling into a stance let's see you punch this human Beast combination transformation double-headed wolf an enormous cloud of chakra smoke erupted around kba and akamu brother Yukan spoke weily looking at the chakra Cloud sakan nodded and they went rigid Cur seal level two activate the smoke cleared revealing a snarling enormous twin-headed wolf standing where kba and akamu had been then one had snarled garoga sakan looked at Yukon in alarm as the giant wolf bore down on him then in unison they went through a series of hand seals summoning rashen with a cloud of chakra smoke a sturdy gilded gate appeared between the transformed inuka and their target as they crouched behind the rashan gate which was denting in the middle due to the force of the groga they heard a strange hissing coming from around them looking around them in alarm they saw six Kai surrounding them surrounding them in a hexagon each primed with an exploding tag then a female voice called out from behind them couldn't let you boys have all the fun now could I six-pointed star the world exploded around sakan you are the most Troublesome girl I've ever fought was shakam noted with a moan as he jumped back to avoid an enormous fist of Aoki which shattered the branch he was on tya cackled playing on her flute really what are you going to do about it you ing scrawny rat shakam didn't reply immediately as he weaved between the Doki to come between them and their mistress but in a puppeteer like you the human is the weak link cage man no Jutsu complete a tendril of Shadow attached itself to taya's feet coming from the opposite direction of the chunin in question tya could only stare in frustration as the Shikamaru in front of him dissolved into smoke a simple bunin then suddenly tya was no longer there and he was holding off the sharpened edge of the flute with a Kai t had a feral grin on her face did you really think you could fool a Jen Jutsu with a bunch in koha trash she taunted Shikamaru using her Superior physical strength to overpower him the sharpened flute slowly digging into his neck if scrawny rat like you is theing chunin in your in group it's no wonder the aiha left your pathetic Village seeing as your village isn't in strong enough to keep the good ninja maybe you could have simply let him go now your scrawny ass and all your in friends are going to die sh suddenly pushed her flute away ducking under it to swipe at her legs with a canai before tumbling backwards to avoid retaliation tya leapt up to avoid him settling down on Branch nearby before starting to play her flute again shiker hid in the undergrowth nearby his hand dabbing at his neck which was slowly dripping blood from a shallow Jagged cut from the flute he could hear TAA Doki stumbling around the clearing clearly searching for him as the haunting Melody of the flute reverberated throughout the forest where are you you in bastard you think you can hide from me Revolt of the Demon World strange chakra constructs emerg from the mouths of the Doki translucent wormlike creatures with a multitude of gaping mouths they were sniffing the surroundings to the tune of the flute bobbing and weaving as they tried to smell out their prey give it up koha trash tiya's gloating voice came from the clearing these Spirits are made from spiritual energy as long as your scrawny ass has any physical energy left they're going to lead me right to you something strange was going on here chuji thought as he continued to dodge the spinning bone wielder with surprising ease he had thought it would have been Tougher Than This what with the guy's appearance but the man seemed to always a hair too slow or too fast to hit him and chuji as confident as he was about his own skills knew that he would have been no match for his opponent if not for his seemingly random lapses in judgment not to mention that he was fighting while having to protect the barrel whereas kimaro had no such restriction however he had seen flashes of what looked like stylized dragons around the bone wielder before he missed in a strike kimimaro seemed to be more upset than anyone else in the vicinity he kept muttering about Jen Jutsu though chuji could not see how that could be possible after all he was the only one fighting kimimaro at all and surely if there was a koha Shinobi in the area they would help however chuji was not one to ponder in the middle of battle that was more shika style instead he pulled out his Kai chain multisize technique spiked human bullet tank kimaro turned instinctively towards the threat but was too late to stop the giant mass of Kai and flesh from rolling over him instead he tucked and rolled into a ball before 3 ft long spikes grew out of the verteb in his back there was no time to change course chuji would run into the man who rather resembled a porcupine at the moment and he would run himself into the spikes then suddenly a ghostly woman in an aristocratic Clan attire appeared before him looking alarmed even as a crimson vein spiked chakra chain wound around him redirecting his momentum into a nearby tree a rough fer voice called out from the Treetops you all right chuji ghost lady what the hell's going on here kba had just made some Headway with the giant summoned gate when an enormous explosion ripped the gate apart blown back by the force and dazed he was thankful that the gate was unsummoned following its destruction or the debris might have torn him apart he heard a whine and looked down to see aamu having reverted back to his normal form from the blast lapping at a narrow trail of blood running down his flank courtesy of one of yukon's earlier punches then he heard a sniggering female voice in front of him which he was unable to identify due to the ringing in his ears and the ACD smoke in his nose aamer whimpered again it seemed he too had been affected by the noise of the explosion and the destruction of the gate kisan uh sorry about that I guess it's just I saw the perfect opportunity ah now he remembered where he had heard that particular voice it was that bun haired girl who had lost to that sand chick in the chunin exam now he just had to figure out why she was here kiasan I said I'm sorry now stop napping and come with me to help the others right he was with the others and they were on a mission to retrieve Sasuke why would he go after the team instinctively clutching at his forehead kba stumbled to an upright position gently depositing aamu inside the shredded remains of what had once been his favorite hoodie it was after this that his eyes focused on the impatient kunoichi in front of him a tent and sand isn't it you were on the same team as that bastard nii water you do doing here the Kuni frowned before leaning into his face and peering at him huh are you in shock or something maybe this will help with that she gave him a prompt cuff on the back of the head spinning him around and into the nearby stream keba came too sputtering as he pulled his face out of the stream why would you do that he asked indignantly as the girl giggled hysterically you were in shock she replied unrepentantly now come on nii has probably gotten in over his head already kba stuttered B but oh that the guy we were fighting is probably in a thousand pieces I thought the stupid idiot would jump I didn't even get a proper fight Kaa looked at where she was pointing and barely managed not to vomit what remained in the crater could not be identified as human or even something that was once alive burnt shredded and crushed it smoked in the crater emanating the most disgusting stench of burnt flesh yakiba said weakly turning away from the corpse that guy is dead let's go as they sprinted away to find a way back up the cliff ether saw the Grim face of Yukan peeking out from the back of kba's head niiji skipped away from yet another golden projectile almost lazily reaching out with a juk and strike to sever the spider thread attached to it as he landed in a Crouch at the other end of the clearing kadam grinned you're getting really interesting trash he said grinning as his spider sticky gold to form a set of boomerang like weapons for each of his six hands cared to try closer nii charged forward as kadam continued to send volley after volley of webbing at him each time the we webing close to snaring him he would strike it with a precise Juke and strike dissolving the thread batting away his webbing at every turn nii slowly Advanced even as kadaru retreated into the forest spewing webbing from his hands Give It Up Sound Shinobi niji advised kadaru as he disentangled himself from yet another web the two were within Striking Distance now you're within the range of my divination two Palms niiji crossed the distance between them in an instance driving two juk and Strikes into kadar's shoulders even as kadam jerked back at the impact niji was continuing with the attack four Palms eight Palms 16 Palms 32 Palms niiji stepped into kadar's face as he was flailing from the attack eight trigrs 64 Palms kidumu was launched away from the branch they were on by the force of the last attack but suddenly flipped away to land in a crouch on a low hanging Branch he was grinning niji frowned your willpower is commendable sound Shinobi but you can't use chakra now give up and your life will be spared kadam mouth Twisted into a mocking grin even as nii noticed a gold substance flake off from kadam's body guess your Bakugan isn't as allseeing as you would like it to be is it Huga he mocked before gesturing to the flakes falling off him this is my armor of sticky gold it'll take more than you to put a scratch in my armor miji stared at kadam blankly you do realize that you gave me a solid reason to use lethal Force don't you kadam gave him a challenging grin go on be my guest I like it when prey struggle nii sighed jumping down to re-engage his opponent I swear Fate has a strange sense of humor why can't I get a normal opponent for once chuji now out of his multi-size technique and sporting a rather generous gash on his shoulder looked nervously between the three Shinobi that were staring at each other across the center of the clearing where the barrel containing Sasuke stood the sound chinobi kimimaro stood at one end sharp bone spikes sticking out of of his arms legs shoulders and spine with a strange black pattern spreading through his body originating from the strange three-line seal below his his green eyes were flashing with irritation at the other end was Naruto only he looked a lot different even when compared to the red-haired version that had come to the mission his orange jumpsuit was in tatters the top barely hanging on to the frame his canines looked large his unique whisker markings wider giving him a feral look his eyes looked bloody the Scarab bloodshot and Cur ious Crimson veins traversing the irises blackish half clotted blood matted his hair in clumps running down his clothes and the remains of his clothes a blue black bruise was clearly visible on his exposed chest and three golden chains with strange Crimson veins within them were protruding from his lower back between them nearest to the barrel stood the woman that Naruto had called ghost lady chuji could certainly see the reasoning the woman looked like a colored glass figurine the destroyed Forest around them visible through her translucent body her hair hair which seemed to be of a reddish shade was pinned to her sides in two buns somewhat reminiscent of tentant only held up with multiple San she was wearing a white kimono and she had a pair of sealed tags in place of earrings also now that the fight had been halted for a moment she looked completely calm in contrast to Naruto and kimimaro who were flooding the surroundings with killing intent for a moment the three stared at each other then kimimaro scoffed you koha Shinobi are all very eager to die more is the pity I don't have the time and you woman you were the one who kept trying to put me in a Jen Jutsu weren't you Mido snarled at odds with her expressionless face I'm Mito of the Uzumaki Clan kagaya she spat at the sound chinobi ignoring chui's gasp you don't need to tell us about your killing Tendencies we Uzumaki have faced it often enough I would have thought that your clan would have done this world a favor and gone extinct by now but of course that's too much to ask from your kind isn't it Barbarian kimimaro stared at her likely I have no idea what you're talking about woman now hand me over the barrel containing SAS Sama so I can be on my way Naruto took a stumbling step forward gritting his teeth now see here sound trash if you think we'll just allow a Shinobi to defect to your bastard Master kimimaro growled you're very much mistaken die with a scream Naruto swung his arm wildly his chains arcing behind him in unison to crash into the place where kimaro was even as Meo vanished into thin air again with a whisper of wrapping Oriental dragons suddenly through the dust cloud caused by the chains colliding with the ground a bone spear broke through it was followed by kimimaro who had what looked like his own ribs jetting out of his body in a protective cocoon you are an interesting opponent may I know your name Kohan Naruto paused in his charge before a bloodthirsty grin crossed his face Uzumaki Naruto and yours kagay kimaro now prepare to die for opposing Orochimaru sama Dance of the Larch your Master's ambition is as useless as his hands have become prepare to die kagaya for treading on lands protected by the saname sacrifice kaga ban Shin with a series of Pops close to 100 clones of Naruto appeared however all but the original lacked the chains waving behind him then the Clones paired up cupping their hands over the other for a moment before the forest was lit up with the blue glow of pure chakra even as kimaro attack the nearest clones and a piring maneuver cutting a swath of Destruction through the multitude of clones raisen Gan kimimaro disappeared under the assault of the remaining clones his bone Spears cracking under the assault of the raising Gan before kimimaro's chakra pulsed with a yell curse seal level two activate with a spin all the Clones surrounding kimimaro were shaken off revealing kimimaro with a darkened skin and a dinosaur-like tail then with the slightest Shimmer of a serpentine silhouette Mito attacked from behind him as Naruto's chains disappeared only for kimimaro to somersault over the approaching Dr Dragon into a group of raising Gan wielding clones which were abruptly dispelled by the bone Spears as he spun in place the needle sharp bones digging into the clones and obscuring him in a cloud of chakra smoke synchronizing with the Clone for a moment Naruto created a raisin Gan in his left hand as he materialized one chakra chain through his right arm giving him a knife edge and several chakra edges throughout his arm with a yell he dived into the smoke after kimimaro who parried it with the bone emerging from above his palm his other hand gripping Naruto's above the wrists stopping the raising gan from approaching him with an ominous crack the bones started to give way as both Naruto and kimimaro tried to overpower each other he looks like your bones can break after all what do you know jumping back at the exact moment that the bone dagger broke kimimaro reached for his shoulder as Naruto's raising Gan wielding hand hit the ground with a deafening crunch kimimaro slowly pulled out a bone sword from his upper arm molding it into a short bone sword before settling into a sword stance Dance of the chamelia within a moment he was within Naruto's guard rattling him with repeated puncture wounds before one of his flailing chakra chains caught kimaro across the stomach tossing him away Naruto fell onto his knees red chakra bubbling around his wounds for a moment as they hissed and steamed then struggling to his feet he walked towards kimimaro who had also gotten onto his feet ignoring the blood as it flowed from the gash Naruto's chain had inflicted Mito stood immobile in the clearing above chuji who seemed Paralyzed by the raw killing intent filling the area ready to interfere should it be necessary but she was wary of chakra use so soon after Naruto had suffered an injury particularly in the wake of clear use of the QB chakra showing it to be just below the surface besides in this position she could easily take stop any interference sh chuji tried to interfere which would simply get both him and Naruto killed this was way above the abilities of chuji meanwhile kimimaro gave Naruto an assessing glance I thank you zakian this has been a most invigorating battle however Orochimaru sama's business is urgent and my life is dedicated to his duty I will kill you now giving Naruto a Fain grin to which Naruto responded by sprouting three other chains in addition to the one through his arm kimaro reached behind his shoulders Dance of the Cletus Vine shakam barely had the time to move before one of the strange wormlike creatures ghosted into his hiding place still as he jumped away the technique had grazed his arm immediately a boneing exhaustion swept through him as he stumbled on the land in and rolled onto the ground mocking laughter met his ears as he struggled to get up there you are [ __ ] for a moment I thought you had scurried away like the rat you are shikura grimaced that would be too Troublesome to explain Troublesome woman he grumbled make no mistake I'm not here because I want to fight you shikamaru's hands twitched unobtrusively forming a seal however as soon as his shadow started to extend one of taya's Doki charged at him forcing him to LEAP back one trick pony tya scoffed did you really think I wouldn't notice you forming seals then another of the physical energy leeches lunged at him but this time instead of shikura jumping away he simply stood in position letting the strange leech pierce his body then around the leech his body began to Blacken and bubble then a voice came from behind tya cage man no Jutsu complete suddenly tya couldn't move immobilized by the Nara Clan Jutsu then without her valtion her body started to move until she was brought before an utterly relaxed chicomer leaning lazily on a nearby tree looking at her with a smirk you know you were correct when you said I couldn't fool a Jen juts user with a bunin and you were correct however aara can fool you with a karoi bunin look her head unwittingly moved to look at the place where the now still Doki had pierced the bunin which now contained just her DOI and its Spirit leech both covered in a strange black cloak Shadows Shikamaru explains somewhat unnecessarily they are solid enough to not be considered an illusion yet they cannot contain any physical energy so when your strange Jutsu pinpointed my location I just waited for it to commit to an attack it couldn't abort and then substituted with a karoi bun Shin I had placed there previously when your attack tried to absorb non-existent physical energy well as they were watching the capture Doki began to Creek the black shadow seeping into its structure creating crevices and cracks as it seemed to melt into it then with a Keening whale the Doki and its worm-like protrusion began to to disintegrate watching taya's face twist in Fury shikura smirked as you can see Nara Clan jetsu use Shadows which do not play well with other types of energy sorry about that he drawled seemingly enjoying taya's anger just then shikura duck to dodge a wild swing by one of the other Doki forcing tya to do the same this time though tya was the one grinning when they were upright again so [ __ ] what's your ing idea to stop that I'm the only one who can stop them but as it is you've V tied me up slowly Shikamaru brought his hands to his mouth forcing tya to do the same with her flute I saw you playing and I can guess the melody with that Shikamaru began to mind the notes he wanted to play but unlike before tya was actively opposing him making the melody choppy and unclear as tya fought Shikamaru for control beads of sweat were rolling off shikamaru's face due to the exertion but he held on doggedly refusing to release tya from his technique damn it if this goes on I'll have to use that technique to finish the battle and on top of it I'm running out of chakra Troublesome the Doki continued to stumble around swinging wildly and showering both combatants with wood chips struggling tya spoke you've got a good head on your shoulders [ __ ] but you're simply too weak for this level Cur seal level two activate Shikamaru barely managed to sever his connection to tya and leap back as ominous chakra blanketed the area originating from tya her body was bubbling changing consider ably with her hair becoming longer and lighter her skin darker along with a protrusion of horns emerging from her head jumping back shakam latched his Shadows to those of the two remaining Doki hoping to use them to against tya while he figured out his next move tya just stared at him blankly seriously do you think I'm an in idiot Like You release with a puff of chakra smoke both remaining Doki were unsummoned leaving Shikamaru and tya facing each other on the opposite sides of the clearing shik staring at tya expressionless while tya gave him a bloodthirsty Lear well well it's just you and me now [ __ ] head now how should I kill you keba and tenent were sprinting stumbling in kba's case across the riverbank while looking for a place to climb the cliff separating them from their comrades normally they would have simply tree walk their way up the cliff but Keo was adamant that they not attempt it with his and aam's condition the mood between the two was tense kba was still cross at 1010 for using exploding tags without warning him while tenton maintained that warning him would have made the whole attack useless and that Keo was just jealous that he had not had the kill of course when she made the mistake of saying her opinion out loud it started keba off on a tiate jealous because of your stupid explosion fetish aimera got hurt and I almost died why did you but in any way I had the fight under control you're right the great kba was pulverizing the poor sound fools tenton said sarcastically face said dog boy you were being lead around by your oversensitive nose keba growled at the insult what the hell's your problem anyway you could have gone and bugged someone else like that nii bastard I don't need a Bloody kunoichi to babysit me tenton eyes narrowed as she abruptly turned towards him you better rephrase that dog boy she said between gritted teeth as one of her eyebrows twitched in irritation or do you have anything against kunoichi startled at her vehement kba stammered incoherently Tenten snorted Turning Away thought so you chauvinist Pig suddenly her instincts honed by G sensei's habit of randomly attacking his team flared acting subconsciously she twirled unsealing a large wooden Shield to cover her with a schlink of wood against metal a canai stabbed itself to the hilt and through the hardened wood of The Shield missing her side by inches and leaving a gouge in the ground behind her tracing its trajectory Tenten saw that it had been thrown by keba and judging by her previous position it had been aimed for her kidneys with the force in the throw and the angle it would have caught her side and lacerated both of her kidneys before exiting her body causing an excruciating and slow death it was one of the most advanced and disturbing places to Target during a fight and it could not be easily done koha Academy trains students to go for the easier more obvious choices like the heart or unbelievingly staring at kba who seemed to have gone into shock she settled into a defensive stance did you just try to kill me the thought itself was ludicrous koha Shinobi were taught teamwork and loyalty from their very cradles and betrayal and desertion was considered to be so abhorent that even thinking about it was considered taboo and the punishment for trying to kill a teammate was so horrific that deserting koha and having the hunter after you was considered to be better in fact the stakes were so high that only socially isolated Shinobi with turbulent pasts had ever deserted koha which meant that of the 12 rookie jennin that had participated in the last tunin exams only Sasuke Naruto and niji had never fallen into the risk category kba who came from the renowned inuzuka Clan had no possible reason to defect and though they generally had hot tempers according to G Sensei kba couldn't have expected to get away with it unless of course he wanted to kill her and make it look like the sound Shinobi had killed her but surely he wouldn't tried to kill her just because of an argument at least she hoped so trepidation growing she cautiously brought out a pair of nunchuks as she approached kba then suddenly kba seemingly sprinted at her while simultaneously trying to hold himself back resulting in him tripping over himself and falling on his face as aimer yelped and leftt clear of kba's falling body Tenten crept forward cautiously towards the figure on the ground which was writhing in apparent Agony by now she knew there was something very wrong with kba kba s then suddenly kba was looking at her with mismatched eyes with the right side of his hair turning white and growing longer and the skin slowly coloring Brown struggling to speak keba whispered run I I can't control body Aima whimpered seemingly afraid to approach his partner Tenten took a cautious step back trying to understand what was happening then kba's face fell slack as he lunged at Tenten with a canai looking into the forest of the north from her seat in the hokagay tower suady felt a shiver of premonition below her the village was a beehive of activity and her anbu had reported that the story of the aias desertion was the hottest news in the gossip circles she knew where the information had leaked from the kunoichi and the newest generation seemed unable to grasp the meaning of discretion tady had half a mind to place the lot of them in punishment detail for this particular blunder but she supposed the results of their actions would be punishment enough if Sasuke had been retrieved without the story spreading far and wide there had been a chance that the AA would have been able to get away scottf free however seeing as the whole of koha Knew by now that the last loyal AA had deserted the village for their most hated enemy of the moment Sasuke would face force genetic donation followed by force seppuku at best a mirthless smile graced cady's lips at the thought in a way his fang girls had signed the aih host death warrant but she had no time nor inclination to worry about the non-existent future of an aiha she was instead worrying over her favorite jenin one Uzumaki Naruto who had gone on the mission to retrieve the said AA the conversation she had had with her grandmother prior to their leaving for the mission still echoed in her mind filling her with anxiety flashback you know this is a dangerous game you are playing TSU tady who had been trying to burrow her head into the wooden desk jerked up at the sound looking up from the coziness she had made with her arms she resisted the urge to groan when all of herbu detail were out cold on the floor again my game's aside that is really not good for them grandmother tady stated drill looking at her snoring guards with an expression halfway between exasperation and amusement though she supposed it was a welcome change after all the headaches that that blasted AA had caused her it was too early to deal with anything other than a hangover cure damn it if they get caught in a jinjutsu that only traps an unsuspecting mind while they are on guard detail they deserve any neck cramps they get you know mito's response was just as dry as her granddaughter's plus I don't see you doing much better you know you didn't even notice me enter and I knocked out all your guards without you even noticing sniffing a bit her lips narrowed and you've been drinking again haven't you tady groaned dropping her head back into her arms give me a break grandmother I've got a killer headache the council's breathing down my neck those two old fossils won't stop pestering me and that spoil Brad of and AA had to chose now of all times to run off to snake face do you know how much meetings this is going to cause and paperwork I swear I'll kill that brat myself get in line Meo scoffed sounding uncharacteristically bitter if Naruto Quinn doesn't stain his hands with the traitor's blood I might kill the bastard myself and I will make him suffer suady looked at her shocked grandmother you don't even know that little self-obsessed headcase meito snorted I saw him once I don't believe I ever want to repeat that experience that boy is a collection of his Clan's worst attributes you know she sigh though I have to say suu your summons came at the worst possible not to mention downright dangerous moment in our training ohata asked quirking an eyebrow why is that he should be able to function with his old skills during any battles and I need the safety net that Naruto and you will provide for the mission she asked before continuing to Grumble it's not like I have any jonen or chunin to spare what with the bloody border patrols and that gnome of aage probing our lines Mito snorted focused Susu now as for your earlier question the reason is that Naruto's body is still adapting to its changes not to mention the changes to the seal what changes to the seal suady interjected alarmed Mito groaned come on TSU I've told you about the effects of the Uzumaki Bloodlines especially of the spike chains and you should know anyway you were friends with the user what do you mean grandmother Kusa only told me she could suppress chakra with it Mito smirked triumphantly but did she ever tell you why suady looked at her puzzled what do you mean normal Spike Chains Don't suppress chakra it was unique to Kusha and for a simple reason that particular expression has a rather strange ability sealed transference sunade looked at her wearily and what does that do Meo side it channels the abilities of any seal that is linked to the user's very self since kusin is giki Seal which I designed was in itself a chakra suppression seal her chains gained the ability to suppress chakra themselves seeing as Naruto has not yet gained full control over his powers and the fact that the isolation seal I put on top of his gingeri seal wouldn't have a ghost of a chance if he got angry do you see the problem tady looked at her troubled you think that the chains could become a conct for the QB to come out Mito ran her hand over her face tiredly if only that no Susu if Naruto is pushed hard enough at this time he would channel the essence of the seal and with what kush's husband used to bind the seal tady reared back in horror you don't mean to Shinigami and flashback tady was pulled out of her revery by the sound of hurry footsteps before a messenger burst into her office panting apologies suady Sama Urgent Message from the Lookouts in the north gate sunade could already feel the headache coming on what is it there's a report of a strange Jutsu being used in our Northern forests something about Crimson chakra chains suady turned around her chair crashing into the ground what did you say the color was CCE Crimson suady Sama suady gritted her teeth that's it she declared ignoring the messenger wise at her tone I've had enough of this turning to face the frightened messenger she ordered inform the council that the village is in lockdown send for the h K guard and sent Kakashi a message that he's got exactly 5 minutes to get here if he doesn't want to be in punishment detail for the rest of his life emergency Mission possible srank go as the messenger scurried away sunade searched her desk for her combat attire now if snake face were there then it'll be a party she thought Riley as she strapped her equipment pouch on before staring out of her window at the Northern Forest squinting she could just make out something that looked like a tentacle poking through the wooded expanse so that was where Naruto was at least he was alive whatever happens brat don't die out there kimimaro's bone whip slashed into a rolling figure which went up in smoke as two thick chain-like chakra constructs barreled into him from the other side of the clearing wincing slightly at their speed he held his Dance of the clus flower in crusted hand as an impromptu Shield the two chains slammed into the curling bone Lance sending bone chips flying as kimimaro skitted back from the force of the impact even as he used his dinosaur-like tail to steady himself kimaro pushed back at the chains with his bone covered arm even as his other hand swung his bone whip at the source of the chains the ligaments between the verteb stretching grotesquely as they tried to wrap around the figure only to meet a barrier in the form of an increasing cage of chakra chains surrounding him you are now starting to annoy me koha Shinobi kimimaro's monotonous voice floated around the clearing in the other end of it chuji still nursing his wounds winced at the threat in the voice while Meo in the very center of the rather large patch of wood devastated by the the fight bristled looking up from her intent examination of the barrel containing Sasuke the fight between kimimaro and Naruto was fierce with them equal in their Speed and Agility with Naruto's multiple chains countered by kimimaro's Dance of the Cletus techniques both of them were panting as they dodged each other's attacks Cuts littering their bodies from near misses then suddenly in the middle of yet another deadlock kimimaro suddenly stiffened before his techniques faltered as he spat out blood immediately capitalizing on the opening two chains immedi medely tore into kimaro one piercing his upper thigh and spearing his tail as the other dug into the whip wielding hand hurriedly jumping away while absentmindedly forming bone plates above his cuts to slow his bleeding kimimaro's lips set into a thin line I will not die before I fulfill Orochimaru sama's purpose he declared looking mutinously at the panting Uzumaki before him Naruto smirked flashing kimimaro a bloody grin then you'll probably have to try being Immortal kagaya Kimo gritted his teeth as he prepared to fight a sense of futility seeping into him even if he defeated this monstrosity he would still have to fight The Disappearing woman and the fat boy on top of that his cursed seal was enhancing his disease to the point of no return he would be lucky to survive long enough to report to Oro chamaro Sama trying to fight through the pain he stumbled suddenly feeling dizzy as his knees hit the ground his mind was getting fuzzy and his sense of vertigo was increasing even as he instinctively blocked Naruto's attempts to land a hit on him blood was filling his mouth mouth and he could feel rivlets of blood flowing down his wounded arm through the plates of bone and his sense of balance was worsening then with an ominous crack wood splints showered the clearing as the barrel containing Sasuke burst open Mito closest to the explosion barely managed to cross her arms over her face before the explosion tore into her throwing her into a nearby tree immediately afterwards Naruto felt an immense drain on his chakra as mito's seal automatically diverted some of his chakra to Healing her chakra shell letting out an involuntary groan Naruto sank to his knees in exhaustion even as the chakra smoke obscuring the remains of the barrel dissipated showing a monstrous figure standing on the remains of the barrel two leathery hand-like protrusions emerged from the shoulder blades of the creature and glaring Crimson eyes stared at the prone figures of the fighters through long locks of gray hair Crimson eyes with spinning black Tomo in them that widened as they took in the destruction of the clearing then the color bled out of the figure starting from his extremities and reaching towards his shoulder the creature grew smaller the leathery hand-like Wings disappeared and then the last remnants of the transformation black tribal marking Drew back leaving a pale SAS standing in the middle of the clearing thanks for watching this
