What If Godlike Naruto Quits Team 7 || Part-1 ||

hey guys how are you all welcome back to my Channel today we will see what if Godlike Naruto quits team 7 if you enjoy then please like share and do comments Naruto 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 achan's hands so why did it hurt so much when she ignored him for SAS once again even though he had fought sonin and almost died to bring bachan to heal them Naruto was walking down the streets of konaha 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 narut was annoyingly cheerful narut often sulked if not out TR brooded what made him different from other career brooders was the simple fact that he never let anybody see him in the ACT today though as he left the Kad 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 Nar trying to wrap his mind around the strange feelings of Abandonment that had decided to plague him today Nar didn't pay any attention to his surroundings until he almost had a very intimate meeting with a tree sufficiently brought out of 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 konaha where he had officially become a ninja now almost eight 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 konaha than an Academy student Naruto and as a jenin he was forced to interact with the very villagers who routinely sneered and belittled him the first days as a Jen and he had held on to some hope that his team would at least accept him he had been proven wrong soon enough Nar uto had no Illusions about sake 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 than th approached towards him his very existence was a constant reminder of what Naruto didn't have and seeing him waste the Goodwill of konah left a bad taste in his mouth Kakashi had once been his hero when he had protected him from The Shadow shadows as an ano really did he think that narut wouldn't identify his scent but ever since his appointment as Sensei of Team seven 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 uch of the team when he had pwned Naruto off to the office poser called eisu he had cracked the final bit of gratitude that had kept narut from grouping him with the others who belittled 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 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 ask 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 konaha 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 girl's 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 soccer a 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 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 paradoxically 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's when they can become truly strong now that the others in team seven were officially Pur sonai nonan brought it to him he found himself wondering what he had to tie himself down to konaha the old man was dead and even before his death narut had been unsure of his intentions and rather leery of opening himself to him after the caubi secret had been revealed it hurt wondering whether the only man who had been kind to him had done that with ulterior motive in mind but it was something he could not help pondering whenever he thought back to those early Ramen runs surely the hokagay did not do that with all orphans including them the only people he had any connection to were the ichiraku aruka and Konohamaru all of them had ulterior motives for his acquaintance with the old man pushing aruka into socializing with him the ichiraku gaining a significant portion of their income via him and konohamaru's own Pride still they stuck with him and for that he would be thankful Naruto side introspection was tiring work he thought as he absent-mindedly tapped the branch below him an ominous 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 see 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 Fu 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 helical 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 helical base was an ink circle surrounding the Kani of 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 meant 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 a growing excitement Naruto continued to peruse the strangely complex seal there was the real the storage seal the inhibitor seal an identification seal a shock seal Naruto shuddered in sympathy the 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 M 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 this 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 for 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 dimension 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 konaha 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 aruka 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 plebeian as chakra exhaustion and later his tenant had made sure that he was never really short of it for some reason though this time the the caoi 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 was tens had suddenly relaxed in 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 sight the once plain red capped scroll was crawling in minute golden symbols kanji and kakana mixed with several types of ancient hieroglyphs that Naruto had only seen in passing and they were 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 ceiling 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 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 no noted after staring blly at the irritating object for close to quarter of an hour his spun of curses had finished a few minutes ago when he had run out of explo lives to use for the scroll the golden script covering the scroll had begun to pulse its glow ebing 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 mode 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 hither to unknown emotion fear the flowing morphing symbols were hypnotic as was the feeling of the ch chra 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 wathed in a bluish chakra Aura as it crashed into the walls of his chakra coils in waves and waves of pressure Naruto's blood was sing 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 spear 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 feet above ground Naruto looked around in alarm to find that the surrounding was crisscrossed with thick cable like golden chains that seemed somehow insubstantial they formed a bull-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 sbon 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 ghost with a terrified scream Naruto instinctively thrust his hands forward the chains following the motion is 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 what are you 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 disgust 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 narut was used to sleeping in the woods in fact he had slept in them consistently for over a year between his forced injection from his childhood home the orphanage of Western konaha 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 SAS 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 hku 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 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 odd sight of a jeweled 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 ornate Pure White longsleeved 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 g g 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 warning 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 Deja Vu she sighed 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 G G ghost a Gusty sigh 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 D beo the Taun got Naruto's attention but a split second later he remembered what he was speaking to please don't eat me oh or do anything else why you GG 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 narut looked at the ghost to find her interestedly pting at her own body and muttering to herself hum it looks like the visibility array malfunctioned you know though the solidity array works pretty well as well as the daging seal she prodded her own body again before shrugging you know I am a genius Naruto looked on open mouth as the ghost continued to prod her own body in apparent detached interest um Hello Ghost San who the hell are you and what are you doing here that ba said ghost looked up and judging by the Frosty expression on her face wasn't very pleased with the question you know it's Meo Sama 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 D ba and I'm an orphan so there for the first time in the conversation meito seemed to have difficulty forming a sentence is that so she inquired hesitantly what about cousins a shake of the head any relations no I'm the only Uzumaki in konaha 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 asking anyway M's eyes softened in understanding even as she gasped in realization are you kash's boy Naruto shook his head again never knew my parents nobody in konaha knows who my parents are even hok Gigi 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 yeah right that'll be the day ghost lady Kahan doesn't treat people of Clans like they do me mido's eyes widened with realization you dropped the creepy part you know it's nice to know I'm only ghost lady now Meo 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 gariki would you Naruto choked on his breath W 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 Meo looked at him sternly and Naruto tried not to Quail under her stare you know for a Shinobi your lion skills are notoriously poor your eyes wander your hands twist together and you shuffle your feet as Naruto hurriedly tried to fix the points mentioned Meo soldiered on and as for your question when I lived in konaha there was another Uzumaki living here and she was also a giki you know only an Uzumaki can successfully hold the caoi Naruto interrupted her looking at her with sparkling eyes really who is she do I know about her oh wait he deflated I checked the Shinobi records there have been no Uzumaki living in konaha from its start Naruto narrowed his eyes at Meo 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 abruptly turning towards Naruto little serut toi is still the hok 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 sju sunade little su su that's just wonderful I've got to see her Naruto stared at her disbelievingly little suu he repeated hollowly she'll probably smash me through the wall if I called her that literally just who are 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 senu NE Uzumaki Mito wife of hashirama send you daughter heis 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 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 narut simply groaned so ghost lady what are you going to do now Meo grinned slightly well Naruto [ __ ] before I answer that what do you know of the Uzumaki Clan uh 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 simp Le 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 god garden and planted the seed there in time this seed grew into a beautiful tree growing on the negative emotions that plagued 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 wafting from the trees spread Discord causing the lands to descend into chaos with trib fighting tribe Clan fighting Clan and Country fighting country in time it came to be that one small fledgely nation gained custody of the land containing the the demon tree this kingdom was ruled by the clan calling themselves the oats 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 had warped 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 10 tals it stampeded through the world leaving chaos in its wake meanwhile among the humans Hagar Romo the son of kagaya 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 T tales 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 Hagar Romo gave rise to the age of ninja and his teaching of nshu 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 uiha 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 ucha 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 the younger son who had found the senju 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 sheha were the first to turn from the path set for them by the sage horrified 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 sju horrified by the crimes committed by the ucha 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 the Uzumaki alone stayed true to our values as time went on never choosing a side between the Waring Brothers they would be a constant in an everchanging world and that is what the philosophy of the Uzumaki is Naruto [ __ ] what do you mean and Uzumaki endures and Uzumaki survives and Uzumaki does not compromise their values and an Uzumaki always keeps his eyes on the objective Neo's lips twitched in a slight grin that is why we were so feared you know Naruto [ __ ] because of 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 MIB brother Uzumaki Shin was the clan head at that time took the entire force of ia's Boulder unit to bring him down and he still didn't go without taking the entire lot with him you know narut listened to Meo 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 his head to find that he had been hallucinating but right now he wouldn't give this moment up for the world narut yawned tiredly when Mido 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 Ando 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 no andoo Personnel had cited him for more than 24 hours Meo 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 Meo ghost lady why did you Flinch Meo wet her lips a bit nervously uh how to tell you this Naruto [ __ ] the scroll that summoned me it had two seals inscribed two seals you told me that the scroll simply used my chakra to power an array that materialized your conscience stored inside the scroll into a physical form Meo 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 [ __ ] 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 Naruto's slack jaw and there was no direct lineage to the Uzumaki Clan the only other was kha 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 sighed I think she wanted to forget the Uzumaki had sent her away to be cao'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 Meo resumed her duration anyway I knew that I couldn't allow it so I left the 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 laden Uzumaki K Jen she gestured at narut and basically turn 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 I don't have a k Jen Meo smiled a triumphant grin that for some reason sent shivers down Naruto's spine you mean you didn't have a k Jen 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 k Jen called chakra expression we are Naturals at form manipulation of chakra and we can naturally Express certain structures of rot chakra which are unique to each individual Uzumaki as you can see my expression is dragons you if I remember from yesterday expressed 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 k Jen that would show that bastard uiha with his precious pink eye he thought vindictively Meo continued her little lecture unaware of the thoughts inside Naruto's head each expression has a specific specialty mine dragons are naturally attuned towards offence and Jutsu I had a cousin who expressed robes and they were naturally attuned towards obstruction in Jen Jutsu yours I believe to be attuned towards barriers in fuen Jutsu 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 Mido 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 Meo held out a hand in front of her hoping to pacify the Raging ex blonde now calm down Naruto [ __ ] we'll work it narut got into her face still trying to pull his hair out of his scalp I'm not 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 meido 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 restrain a smile sometimes he acted so like hashirama it was just cute hey he pouted looking at Meo 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 a walking road sign and 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 suu Naruto grumbled even as he picked up his discarded jacket and the large scroll and started to tree hop to civilization turning his back on Meo it's not like she can talk that beo she's wearing white a but white is the color of the elite Naruto [ __ ] Meo said from right behind him causing him to jump ignoring Naruto'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 Meo 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 Edo Tensai of tooram makun 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'm glad I decided to De AG me and she thinks she isn't a freak Naruto muttered under his breath in disbelief what was that Meo asked turning towards narut with a demonic expression nothing absolutely nothing at all Naruto 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 back backwards you can't blame me for that I don't even know how to bring out the chains D beo Neo'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 [ __ ] can't have the future Clan head ignorant can we today after your team 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 Meo 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 using that speaking of which I'm going to try something seeing as I can't walk around half transparent without every one thinking I'm a ghost I'm going to try something she held her hands in the ramp 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 [ __ ] a voice whispered in his ear narut bit back a scream don't do that turning towards the voice narut came face to face with nothing Nar stared for a moment before gentle giggling issued from in front of him blinking Nar 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 Meo invisibly ghosting behind him narut 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 San 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 the Anu twitched his wrist in an undulating motion how many targets of course ano 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 Anu on the other side looked spoofed he was a sensor and he had noticed a change in the orange wearing teens's chakra signature but there had been only one presence Crossing his post so who had he been talking to one anomaly in Target inconclusive orders the Ambu 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 andu mask immediately shunshine 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 the U captain stared at the mokan user a befuddled expression on his face explain sir the seal leaks some of cao's chakra at all times but it was missing just now it's as if the boy was not a giki the Anu Captain started in a Flash he signaled the sensor who was still staring after the blonde jiki signs of Jen Jutsu or any chakra use none he stared at Torah who stared back if they initiated a detainment sequence word would get out about the C capture from the office nen 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 hanged assassin I don't get paid enough for this he gred 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 Tsunade and thean into her face not to mention that if one of her punches did not disrupt a Jen Jutsu nothing would muscles noticeably relaxed he ordered the ano back to their posts as he resumed his monotonous duties as captain of the Guard a straight thought came to his mind why was he wearing a turban while Naruto and Tsunade had their customary greeting and Naruto promply had his meeting with the heavy oak door of the office Meo looked unamused her little suu Chan was all grown up and apparently a heavy drinker too she thought as she wrinkled her nose at the smell of sake a coming off the hanged woman while sunade was focusing on Naruto's new headdress what you trying to look like a sun and N 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 four near the windows four set in the corners of the 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 from a hiding spot on the ceiling and by the orientation she was able to find the others andu liked to stay within sight of other ano 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 dragon it was over in a Flash the four dragons flared in the colors of the rainbow and even as sunade and the an boot turned towards the chakra flare the dragons whipped into the hidden ano as soon as the dragons passed through the ano they sagged falling over with an odd sigh they were out cold Meo gave a cold smirk hey 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 side 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 as salent to reveal themselves therefore she was slly surprised when a voice answered her in a conversational tone oh stop it with the crass posturing you know little su su I think I taught you better than that I blamed Tober he was always a bad influence sunade froze then blood rushed to her face and her Knuckles cracked Naruto winced as she left 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 hokage's chalkra seep wood causing splinters toly fly around her then Mito spoke again this time from the opposite end of the room so crass little su su you're fighting style you know as a kunoichi you must show some Grace not run around punching things like a maniac seriously what did that monkey teach you after I was gone sunade 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 rounded I'll make you pay for impersonating my family empty threats empty threats little su su 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 uh bchan 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 [ __ ] 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 sunade was staring at her motionlessly transfixed a few seconds later she spoke wonderingly my grandmother's a ghost Meo Shrugged her shoulders slightly hello su su Naruto inter Ed when sunade seemed to prepare to launch a volley of questions yeah though that's probably my fault come think of it sunade turned towards him an imperious look on her face and Naruto shivered towering over him sunade spoke oi 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 sunade had broken out more sake locked the doors and dumped the unconscious U outside as Mido sealed the room the three were Seated on the sofas that surrounded the hok desk with Naruto and Mito on one side and Tsunade on the other sunade 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 Mito 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 Fu and 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 sunade gasped but grandma that's forbidden Meo smirked only for the other Shinobi you know that Wii Uzumaki have always had a rather unhealthy amount of chakra shooting the disgruntled Tsunade and amused look she continued to explain the method of Revival she had used so when a suitable candidate touched the seal it extracts chakra from the person which is channeled into two seals one which is the Uzumaki purification morphine seal which enhances the Uzumaki characteristics of the user and a body template seal which creates a solid chakra shell for the parasitic conscience which is in in this case me the seal contains another inbuilt purification morphine 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 morphine seal harmonizes with healing chakra stored in the chakra storage seal attached to it and is injected back into the body via 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 Meo 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 sound off laughter turning towards the sound narut saw sunade laughing her guts out ha ha so that's why you're wearing a turban slipping from her seat she was in front of Naruto in an instant crying fingers reaching for the headdress come on brat let's see that nice shiny red hair of yours Naruto scowled squirming to get away from Tsunade who was now petting his hair marveling its newly acquired silkiness Meo smiled it was good to see them play Naruto slowly dragged himself to training ground number seven obviously rather hesitant about meeting his team he had ditched the turban at the Hokage Tower Meo 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 [ __ ] as a chakra construct I'm like a summon 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 cage bunch and 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 Ed 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 tell you to stay with me if you don't want to if you want you can go and catch up with botan 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 [ __ ] he paused at the shout turning to look at a transparent Mido 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 already you aren 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 konaha had done to him she instinctively found herself staring into the hok monument in the distance Hashi rakun what have they done to your dream bending slightly she looped her own hands around him whispering in his ear Naruto [ __ ] Naruto stiffened as her breath hit his ear you're never going to be alone ever again the child merely borrowed further into her Embrace for the first time in her life since the destruction of uzushiogakure she began to have uncharitable thoughts about konaha how could a village do this to one of their own especially over a burden forced on him at Birth how could they have the nerve to do this to an Uzumaki when they still wore a bloodied spiral in Penance a child so young so alone with a slight shiver she realized that she was partially to blame caoi was something she had introduced to konaha after all in a way Naruto was her Legacy even more than the Uzumaki Heritage she then thought of kha that small girl who had asked her if she could really hold ca's rage within her su su had given her details of kash's death and the caubi attack after their visit apparently even as Hokage she needed to adjust Naruto's security clearance before she was allowed to tell him think thinking back to the Visage of the teary eyed girl she found herself wondering Kash Chan 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 the wooden bridge near the number seven training ground was peaceful a gentle breeze was flowing through the trees the small stream gently woed through the rocks and a siering pink-haired kunoichi was ey raping her disgruntled crush a normal meeting for the dysfunctional Jen and team 7 said kunoichi was as earlier stated sporting bright pink hair her hit it te 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 Sharingan and his customary frown so far the day had gone to routine Sakura had come early waited for her beloved SAS 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 paced goobly eyes in his Direction now that the two main actors had come onto the stage at least according to to soccer's mind it was time for The Supporting Cast of the two remaining missing people the first to arrive would be a blonde and a horrendous jumpsuit who would proceed to greet Sakura get insulted in return Then insult sasak only to get beaten up by Sakura this would culminate in one Jen and holding 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 SAS had arrived but there was no sign of the blonde knucklehead not that Sakura minded it at all not having him around meant that she had more time to watch sasun not that she wasn't going to hit the idiot when he finally showed his face though she frowned he was probably getting laid on purpose because of sake 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 Team 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 tightened 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 the foot path 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 sas's monotonous voice cut into saker's thoughts I can see its chakra but the Sharingan can't see through whatever genjutsu they're using the boy had straightened from his SL Louch Crimson sharing and 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 Sharingan after the rather Strang 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 Naruto'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 SAS looked up in apparent interest hn you look even stupider with that hair Doby he sneered which caused Sakura to smirk herself yeah Nar n 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 dependence on them to use him as a convenient outlet for their frustrations the very thought brought a white hot Hast 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 and even if his combat skills may have been lacking Naruto knew how to fight he had been doing that since he was born and right now he had to hurt them verbally enough so that one of them initiated a physical bound his chakra was beating a tattoo against his body eager to form chains that he knew instinctively that he could form Naruto ignored saker's comments as he stared into sake's eyes which shifted to Sharingan in challenge at the sight of the dojutsu his chakra surged in Frenzy turning to break through the surface in sudden murderous intent he then smirked derisively I'll ask for your opinion when you can defeat your brother T SAS went into a murderous rage as he yelled and Dove at Naruto a snarl 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 H it that covered his left eye and and he was wearing a flag jacket and the official konah junan uniform haki Kakashi had arrived let go nay nay sasun calm down now Naruto that was a little excessive was it not he said mildly not looking up from his everpresent ichaa Naruto stiffened before shrugging dismissively he started it why you sasak Kakashi barked out sasak subsided still glowering at an unrepented naru Sakura was still shell shocked 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 narut to the ground only to be stopped again when Naruto Sid stucked it as Sakura stumbled off balance she was steady by a hand on her wrist before it was jerked backwards making her spin around to come face to face with a livid Naruto Haruno sand he hissed the surprised kunoichi'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 Naruto's looks drastically with the blood red locks draping his cheekbones and framing his pale bloodless face combined with His Brilliant piercing blue eyes Naruto suddenly looked 10 years older sniffing dismissively Naruto turned towards Kakashi whose one visible eye had WI 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 Naro stand down or I'll have to report you for insubordination Naruto's eyes met Kakashi and his smirk grew wider junan Sensei H Taki Kakashi San he started using the formal title in lie of the more commonly used Kakashi Sensei Kakashi looked posi postively startled even SAS had stopped his struggling at the surprise of hearing narut 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 hokagay tower between him sunade and Meo he straightened up his expression to deliver the message by order of the godam okag senju sunade I jenin Uzumaki Naruto Shinobi idaho1 12607 have been relieved of Duties in the Jen and team 7 due to impending Clan matters as pursuant to the section e of the 34th chapter of the konaha 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 absentminded ly opening the scroll Kakashi asked Clan matters Sask 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 ignor the insult throw away that scroll and let's get a mission over with I need to train besides the Doby probably found the scroll in the trash shut up UA don't infest the air of the other with your vile tongue Naruto was about to continue when he was interrupted by Sakura who spoke in a wondering tone section e of the 34th chapter but that's the premature inauguration of Clan head Clause 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 Tsunade 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 aimed 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 konaha 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 the scroll it's signed by Bach Chan she's of Uzumaki stock two generations removed via her grandmother Uzumaki Mido who became senjo wife of The Showdown cool ain't it Kakashi was looking annoyed and rather taken aback while SAS was frowning fiercely and Sakura looked totally lost sas's expression however was the one that Naruto savored the most since Bach Chan had told him of the cause apparently the lack of nanu containing chiha blood owing to the rather fanatic pruning done by the clan meant that sasek himself could not Ascend to the title of Clan head without the abdication of UI Itachi who even with his missing nin status still was the recognized Clan Heir I think this is done Bachchan 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 seven before he disappeared into the forest were of Sakura and SAS 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 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 su su 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 faux angry voice don't grunt like an uiha leave me be ghost lady now that won't do you know said a figure framing the kitchen door holding a ladle get your 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 wearily over the backrest 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 a yam 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 staged Ed 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 Meo 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 the apparent non sequitor at his puzzled face Mito elaborated to let go of them I mean what do you mean nunk brusk reply 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 bow 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 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 Meo slowly placed a hand on his shoulder look at me Naruto [ __ ] she whispered to him Naruto hesitantly leaned into mido'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 Nar toon she coaxed tell me what troubles you and don't leave out what you did to those poor poor trees as the evening wore on she managed to gradually pry the story from narut so do you think I was too harsh on them narut 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 possibly have many results well she started wetting her lips if you had asked it out of context I probably would have said yes narut flinched at that however with how they have treated you and how they continued 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 [ __ ] 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 hokagay tower in a days having dismissed his team what remained of his team he reminded himself bitterly early he was going to meet Tsunade Sama to get some answers in konaha removing a jenin from their jenin 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 start of the sand Dame's first reign in konaha a Jen and team was family they ate together they camped together and they killed together a jenon team was a mesh of personalities with each member known the inner workings of the others 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 jenon from a jenin team removing a jennin without the consent of the junan leader however was unheard of now Kakashi knew that his team was quite a bit less than solid when compared to the other jenon teams out there however he had been getting there Naruto tended to think things through a bit more and did not complain as much when he was delegated to The Brute Force parts of the missions Sask was getting increasingly cooperative and Sakura 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 Sakura was still looking a bit stunned when he had dismissed them while sake 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 and accusation in his tone and it AE at him in a way it had not done a long time maybe he was going soft not to mention the fact that narut seemed to actually know his pedigree of course sunade 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 hokagay office passed a crew of chunin and what looked like mokan nenzo entering the office found Kakashi hurriedly stripped of his daydreaming the office was a mess with several parts of the wooden office looking newly grown there were uncleared wood chips scattered around the floor and an annoyed completely sober hokagay trying to stare a hole through his head already this was not how he had envisioned the meeting going Kakashi quailed uneasily as sunade stare did not let up um sunade Sama maybe I can come back later slowly oh so slowly Sun's Stony face faded into a predatory smirk that looked petrifying on the kunoichi Kakashi slowly edged backwards ah there you are Kakashi San you're early for once how unexpected Kakashi giggled nervously um the road of Life had a short cut sunade sighed sit down Kakashi s we need to talk about your team Kakashi took the seat absently brushing off debris before he started talking excuse me sunade Sama but don't you think that Naruto's removal from Team seven 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 fogies 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 half Rose from his seat in protest sunade snapped at him all of you were abusive to him and don't you dare try to deny it letting out a calming breath she continued picking apart the Sensi of Team seven let me ask you a simple question Kakashi San you've had Naruto in the team for almost s months what exactly have you taught him Kakashi stuttered at the blunt question I taught him chakra control exercises and teamwork exercises and sunade talked over his stuttering cutting him off any actual techniques well know but his Basics were too bad for him to learn not mentioning the fact that he learned an a rank Jutsu the renon within a week impossible he doesn't have the chakra control I should have known you wouldn't even know what about tautu 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 sunade raised an eyebrow indeed and have you ever told him that at least attempted to correct it if I may interrupt sunade Sama I told him to practice his kada 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 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 sunade 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 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 desired 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 caoi Jin shariki would not be subject to sabotage when you yourself were a part of his guard patrols once seen Kakashi start sunade 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 chiha 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 Grandfather's Dream since I left because of him a leaderless konaha is not being invaded by IA right now because of him and the rebuilding of the damaged sectors are going so fast because of Wave Country support which we have because of him as is the fact that this place is not covered in sand right now by 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 konaha she scoffed leaning in front of Kakashi's chair to get in his face and the fact that the ungrateful bastards that call 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 Ser Toby Sensei Kakashi San 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 jennin I was out of active duty for almost 15 years yet you the 27-year-old are the one who has gone to seed at your age sukumo could match serut toi sensei's killing intent 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 Sun's Earth natured 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 Jun 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 jenon 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 narut unlocked his Uzumaki blood 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 jenin teams of konaha we can't have them all slacking off can we as for your team team seven is being formally dissolved B but sunade 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 SAS will be officially registered as your Apprentice if you want since you seem hellbent on only teaching him anyway finally fin you will need to attend Naruto's Ascension of Clan head ceremony as all available June and du at the council gathering in two months time you're dismissed yes they are quite beautiful don't you think yeah Naruto breathed Spellbound looking up at the two wraithlike Oriental dragons entwining 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 change midli my father's dead after my sisters died in an ambush by the uch clan he used to have Scrolls before his rage caused him to express chains Meo 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 genjutsu as you saw in my uh little scuffle with the ano Meo 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 Uzumaki but they exhibit good chakra control she pointed at narut no 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 battle Fu and Jutsu 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 gariki seal that gave it chakra suppression abilities anyway this is a warrior expression it shows in people with loud tempers and louder personalities hey Naruto mock protested Meo giggled my mother on the hand expressed shadowed 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 were such fun slightly scowling Meo continued now the ceiling scripts which was my father's original expression was a Scholars and ceiling experts expression it would Channel rot chakra making it invaluable for sealers and it could be used to form instant seals in midair it was expressed in people of a studious nature slowly she let the chakra dragons fade as the iridescent dragons slowly faded upwards Meo 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 Meo said serenely settling into cesa facing narut looking somewhat bemused narut followed suit now close your eyes Naruto hesitantly closed his eyes only for the world to seeming 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 narut 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 your chakra sensing later for now keep your eyes open and slowly try to match your breath with your heartbeat come on short breaths continuously love dub inhale love 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 mido'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 coers that pulse to match your body's beat start giving it a steady Push Pull and so he slowly began teasing the pulse slowing it down speeding it up until its beat matched his heartbeat in 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 Gar 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 crisscrossed spiked chains that were glowing a bright gold well done Naruto [ __ ] mito's voice cut through Naruto's Panic the world cleared and he found himself sitting in cesa with his chakra chains still forming a cage around him there was only one difference Meo was sitting in front of him one chakra Dragon sprouting from her extended hand to bury into his chest his eyes widened in realization you put me in a Jutsu Meo 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 out then a giggle escaped his lips then a GAA before laughter was ringing across the secluded grounds Meo looked at Naruto who was now leaning back on his hands laughing as the three spiked chains were wagging behind him mimicking golden Tails slowly getting up she held out a hand for narut come along Naruto [ __ ] how about I teach you the first exercise we had to do to control the chains back in Uzu Meo proposed as Naruto took the proferred hand still giggling with his chains hovering around him and what would that be Meo gave a cheeky grin it's called The Chain Waltz want to learn how to make your chain dance Naruto bowed playfully lead the way mad 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 [ __ ] a female voice hissed quiet a soft male voice declared we do not appear until Sask Sama is alone that was Orochimaru sama's orders just then a rustling sound Was Heard as a tall ninja with a headband over one ey strolled out of the house underwatch before shun shining away sack smiled the black tattoo of the curse mark racing down his torso sound four move out a frantic knocking roused as sleeping Naruto hey narut get up huh what was Shikamaru 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 narut grinned sleepily sorry shik long story I'll tell you another time Shikamaru raised an eyebrow I don't want to know you Troublesome person he grumbled anyway get ready mission 1 hour north gate narut simply stared at him confusedly what do you mean I'm on training leave Shikamaru pmed his face exasperated Troublesome sasak left the village yesterday what and apparently the village is still short-handed after the invasion so sunade s 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 Bachchan told Shikamaru to specifically get him after a moment he got his answer ghost lady seeing that she couldn't spare any higher class Shinobi it was obvious she wanted another safety net for the mission um all right I'll be there who are the others in the team Shikamaru Shrugged well I was thinking of Choi and kba and maybe hanata or Nei what about bushy brow Lee he's still in the hospital Naruto thought about the group take the bun girl I think her name is tenton we're going to need a sniper all of us are close range other than you he said finally Shikamaru nodded absently I'll ask Nei 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 Shikamaru side trouble turning back with a lazy wave and narut 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 narut replied Troublesome as soon as Shikamaru had left narut was cursing up a storm in the kitchen until he was interrupted by a sleepy female voice Naruto [ __ ] shut up before I kill you Naruto yelled back ghost lady get up Bachchan needs you a sleepy Mumble answered him and Nar sweat dropped who knew that the courtly Mito Sama 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 Exploder 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 set Bond she had used to pin up her hair the door Naruto realized with a shiver was totally covered in sbond to the point it looked like a hedgehog seriously how many sbond did she hide in her hair Meo was growling in irritation as she analyzed the situation and found no imminent threat with an incensed look on her face she stocked towards a cringing 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 bot Chan's going to kill me and Sheik is going to suspect and we're going to be late D beo by now Mito was completely confused slow down Naruto [ __ ] what's happened and for what would we be late narut scowled the T left the village last night and Bachchan told shik to get me I think she wants to be available as backup apparently no other chunin or Jan could be spared Mito scoffed Uchiha all of that blasted Clan think they're God's own gift to the world and now what with that Massacre you told me about I think the total number of ucha in the village is zero yep that's why the village is in such a Tiffy apparently the lastu chiha is too valuable to go missing he scoffed bitterly personally speaking if the bastard was stupid enough to abandon konaha for the guy who killed the old man he deserves a slow death Neo 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 would Itachi putting him to a coma the last time they met feeling the emotions flowing off the young redhe head Meo awkwardly asked Naruto [ __ ] what are you going to do when you find him Naruto's scull deepened I'm going to give him exact one chance to surrender before I deal with him as any deserter would be execution the finality in his tone shocked Meo before she realized the true cause for Naruto's bitterness seeing the whole village praised the young UA 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 sake had effortlessly got had left Naruto incapable of calmly dealing with the fact that sake had spurned it Meo turned to prepare for the morning I'm going to meet with su su 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 kite pouch noded absently sure see you at the gate ghost lady and when we get there communicate with with the uzushio 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 jenin was gathering kba was glaring at Nei together with akamaru who was growling tenton was polishing a canai and Choi was calmly eating chips Shikamaru had his head in his hands a short distance away invisible to the group Meo was calmly perched on a nearby Branch watching the group of jennet that Troublesome Naruto if we get late then sunade Sama is going to punish me yeah what's the deal we don't need that guy kba interrupted shooting a glare at Nei who continued to ignore him he added and on top of that Shikamaru why do we need this jerk hanata would have been much better akamaru barked in agreement Shikamaru sighed Troublesome hanata is still not cleared for strenuous missions by sunade Sama and Nei here has the strongest B and all the jenin of the clan he cracked a small grin besides Naruto recommended both Nei and tenton huh tenton had been distracted from polishing the canai by shikamaru's remark that blonde orange [ __ ] kba snickered at her description I've never even met the guy why would he recommend me cuz your sharik and Jutsu is awesome that 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 tenton blushed at the as the figure came closer several pairs of eyes widened in disbelief annoying verbal tick check glaring orange jumpsuit check whisker markings check blonde hair CH huh with a moan Shikamaru face Pond Troublesome narut I told you to cover your head Naruto just grinned and not see your faces no thanks Nei chws that particular moment to enter the conversation Naruto s he asked in a monotone why is your hair hair died 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 narut thought he probably didn't miss it so much for obscurity hey hey it's a long story that beo keba snorted knowing you you probably fell into a vat of paint Doby he said dismissively Naruto reared up at the insult you want to go dog boy Shikamaru 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 Shikamaru sigh Troublesome looking at the group he mentally decided the formation all right this mission is to retrieve SAS 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 Shikamaru noticed the most expressive were kibas whose cursing and the growls of akamaru let everyone know exactly what they thought the ones least phased were Nei and to shikamaru's surprise Naruto who simply gritted his teeth so it seems he isn't surprised that SAS went to sound but I never told him that he thought him interesting we will set off towards the northern borders with rice country where hidden sound is rumored to be keba keba looked up you and akamaru take point you are going to on the lookout for any s Trails of either SAS or the sound Shinobi I assume you know the terrain keba puffed up his chest piece of cake my mom used to take his tracking in these Woods I know them like the back of my hand nay akamaru a series of barks answered him Shikamaru continued ignoring kba's exuberance I will be immediately behind keba 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 objections 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 cage bunchin narut looked at him uncomprehending but before Shikamaru could elaborate Naruto straightened up got it stay to the left between you and tendon Chan why didn't you just say so Shikamaru narrowed his eyes in suspicion before he let out a longsuffering 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 cho cho you take the same position as narut but to the right you will be the finisher of the team you only engage when there is a clear Target Choi simply nodded still munching a chip Shikamaru turned to Nei Nei San you are our rear guard you take position behind tendon San and I need you to do a full by kouan scan over the area every 5 minutes if that is possible he asked Nei Nei nodded somewhat indignantly as if Shikamaru had called his expertise into question Shikamaru 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 shikar whined as they were delayed again the person turned out to be a TI Sakura followed by a clearly reluctant Eno which gave Shikamaru the beginnings of a headache it only worsened when Sakura spotted narut instantly changing her demeanor she marched up to him a fisted hand reared back to punch him Naruto how dare you show your face sake left because of you you Doby the team was staring at Sakura unsure as to what they should do Naruto Shikamaru 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 Shikamaru would have sworn a month ago would never never be present on Naruto's face especially towards Sakura his presumed crush the malicious smirk on his face combined with the red hair Shikamaru had never before noticed just how much like fresh blood it looked dripping down his face in a lanky curtain he 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 half way into the sign for KAG man no Jutsu before he remembered himself surely it would not come to blows nutk face Twisted in Amusement though his lengthening fingernails gave light to his expression though it is possible that he only stayed in konaha because he wanted to be with me how wonderful I had a fan girl and didn't even know it don't you think it's a Pity Shikamaru Naruto he said warningly ready to step in Naruto gave him a dismissive glance cool down shika 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 k9's blending 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 traiter to the village and do you know Kona his policy towards Trad Sakura of course you do what with that huge brain of yours don't you if he resists capture and if I know SAS 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 sasak won't be a problem ignoring the others gasps narut leaned in to saker's horrified face eyes tinged with red so if you want to see your dear sasak kuna alive again my dear Sakura Chan you're better pray your 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 noell he leapt towards the tree line and out of the gate you guys coming with a sigh and an apologetic look towards Eno Shikamaru 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 hour into the Sprint ke had found the trails of SAS and the sound Shinobi right up until the scent of sake had disappeared figuring sake was simply being carried by the sound Shinobi though he did not know the reason Shikamaru had ordered the team to Trail the scent of the sound Shinobi they had met a team of wounded patrolling junan along the way Rao and jenma if 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 junan 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 Shikamaru guessed was where they kept sake however a reason for doing so eluded him Shikamaru side 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 weary glances at a still fuming Naruto anise was hanging around the team like a blanket and Naruto's continuing ill temper was beginning to wear upon them Shikamaru had to admit that the scene at the North Gate had intimidated even him a little Nar had always been that somewhat stupid clumsy showoff that no one took seriously never had he seen narut so intimidating at the gate Naruto had looked almost feral marusan Shikamaru San Shikamaru looked at Nei who had been the one who had called yes Nei San Nei had his bik kugan active for targets directly ahead carrying a sealed Barrel that the bike cougan cannot penetrate 500 M targets appear to be resting everyone stopped at shikamaru's command everyone dropped out of the trees to the forest below what is it shika Naruto's voice was tur Shikamaru merely pointed the ground about a foot in front of kba where a thin ninja wire like substance was just visible in the sunlight keba winced traps there's even more in the branches it's a complete web up there tenton looked at Nei can't your eyes see them Nei grimaced probably if I was doing a 128 PMS otherwise they're too thin in the hyuga clan probably only hiashi Sama and the elders have bite kugan that are strong enough to see this normally Shikamaru 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 Shikamaru suddenly felt a vague sense of Doom exactly how impossible was narut going to be this time the sound four were resting from the battle with the junin and their release of the cursed seals in the middle of their Circle was the barrel containing SAS it was slightly smoking Hey fatty how much longer till the U is ready hobu the one who was addressed looked at the speaker and S Toya a girl shouldn't talk that way Toya tossed her pink hair over her shoulder in irritation and what are you going to do about it fat ass herob simply sighed when the third member of their group suddenly sat up what's up kidaru hobu asked before noticing that kidaru was smirking ah the Kad 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 sackin was quite obviously Disturbed we've got to go now we're being surrounded to yya smirked why you afraid of clones konah doesn't have enough manpower to surround us bird brain kidaru 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 sack inside we're not here to fight trash kidaru remember Oro chimaru Sama needs us as soon as possible I'm getting hungry I could stay behind hobu suggested suddenly the one still head poking out of the neck of sacken 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 kidaru had held his six hands above him while hobu had lifted the barrel into yuya and sackin had shifted into defensive positions beside hobu spider bind a whitish web of spider webbing issued from karo'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 KAG man no Jutsu complete instantly the sound four found themselves stuck in place unable to move gats sua with a yell kba and akamaru launched themselves at the Barrel in Hobo'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 push its own chakra into your body and we don't need to stress your body on top of everything else seeing Naruto's nudous face she continued hastily look Naruto [ __ ] the narut 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 kidaru hastily used his spider sticky gold ability to form tonfa which he used to deflect the hail of Kai coming at him from the bun haired girl it had only taken them pulsing the first stage of their curs seals to break free of the spiky-haired boy Jutsu after which the fight had turned into a free for all looking around he saw hobu playing around with the inuzuka and his dog still carrying the barrel Toya was simply using Tai Jutsu bobbing and weaving around the shadow user and the fat boy while sackin was being attacked by the hyuga numerous copies of the blonde boy were flitting around the battles mostly providing distractions for the konah 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 to yuya who would have normally opposed the decision what with her inability to accept defeat they couldn't activate their curse seals now or they would be in no shape to deliver the chiha to Orochimaru this left only one alternative nodding to touya he ducked beneath a flying mace and dispelled a clone with a punch before firing off a Jutsu spider sticking spit the tough ropey net catching tendon 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 Negi at the same time tya had caught both Shikamaru and Choi by their wrists proceeding to sling them both into the already the unbalanced group in front of them Hey fat ass now with a grunt of exertion hobu caught the incoming gatsa in his palms before grounding them while keba and the others were just shaking off their shock he slammed his palms to the ground doden Doro Domo with a crumbling sound curved Earth walls grew around the group trapping the group in a giant Dome of stone and Earth hobu grinned throwing the barrel to kidaru 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 kidaru gave him a questioning look are you sure one rat escaped after all hobu Shrugged uninterested if that kah had 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 Kona had te strategy with brute strength but that was not the worst Naruto that Dome is sucking chakra out of its prisoners Naro racked his brains for a solution on one hand stain meant that he would let the sound for 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 Shinobi and leave a trail for me to follow I'll take this Glutton out moo turned to him surprised urised but Naruto [ __ ] Naruto just gave her a look before stepping out of his hiding place the first notice herob bu head of his new opponent was a speeding golden chain rushing towards his hands upon his Hasty Retreat however the chains abruptly changed Direction 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 with staring at Naruto oi shika take the others and go I'll get back to you Naruto shouted ignoring the gopping of the konah team hob boo slowly flexed his arms the first stage of the cursed seal Rippling across his skin you aren't going anywhere konah had trash two more chakra chains rippled out of Naruto's arms in reply without taking his eyes off of hobu he spoke shika go now before the fight begins I can handle myself with a yell hobu lifted up a piece of the very Earth's surface above his head looking like a drawing of Atlas doden 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 defening crash Meo flitted across the Treetops of the forests of the high nuni following the three sound ninja as they ran for the tan no Kuni border traveling as close as she d to the spider like Shinobi she thought his name was kidaru 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 curse seal Meo in all of her ceiling Mastery and experience had never seen such an effusion of chakra as that emitting from the small seal that was branded on all the sound four 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 intrigu 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 cuns she was interrupted from her thoughts by the mutterings between the sound Shinobi oi bird brain to yya needled sackin 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 to you you mumbled if you [ __ ] don't [ __ ] pick your pace up Orochimaru Sama will probably give us to Manda seeing kidaru snaker she turned on him what are you laughing at you spindly [ __ ] I don't care if you want to be [ __ ] snake bait if you don't [ __ ] move faster I'm taking that Bloody barrel and getting out of here Meo listening to the conversation was getting increasingly worried according to her senses the kah head team was at least 5 minutes away and from what sunade 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 drain to narut in a potentially hostile situation her choices were taken out of her hands immediately afterwards sackin was nodding all right we'll go first level of the curs seal until the border to yuya kidaru can you handle that kidaru frowned I can I guess but I really wanted to play with that clone spawning konah hen that would have been a boss battle Toya smirked the markings of her curs seal already spreading through her body of course I can handle that who did you think I was bird brain you Meo side hoping she didn't do anything to seriously endanger Naruto snapping through a few deliberate hands seals she intoned Jen Jutsu net of Tranquility Shikamaru was troubled as he led the team Sans Naruto across the forests in trail of the sound Shinobi and sake at their rear they could still make out the signs of Naruto fighting with that Behemoth of a Shinobi Naruto Shikamaru had always thought him a bit of a mystery with his inexplicable friendship with the sandam Hokage however during this Mission it had seemingly come to a head Nar 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 cage bunin that 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's karoi bunin Shikamaru knew the limitations of the solid clone technique for Naruto to use it to create possibly 8,000 clones without even looking winded meant that he had chakra reserves beyond belief Shikamaru doubted that even the sandam Hokage Jutsu Powerhouse that he was could have spawned as many but he knew that his Earth T 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 Nei he saw a sight that made his stomach turn in the light of the Noonday Sun glinting in the sunlight three of the strange chainlike chakra constructs that Naruto had employed earlier Rosen to 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 hobu Shikamaru thought it may have been the Sun but for a moment the chains had seemed more red than the gold they had been before that's all for now if you enjoyed then please like share and do comments
