Challenge by Nick Terakidan.

Chapter 1: OOO rides again!

The ninja world had a vicious sense of humor at times. One that could say this was Naruto Uzumaki. He was a young man who just started his ninja career and even bore that he had always had problems.

It began when he was born. The fourth hokage, the leader of his village, sealed away a large demon called the nine tailed fox inside of Naruto. While the fourth wanted the young boy to be seen as a hero for holding the great demon back he was in fact seen as the fox incarnate. The boy was hated his entire life. They couldn't beat him because the reinstated third hokage had a soft spot for the boy. They did manage to hurt him in different ways. They ignored him whenever they could, kicked him out of stores, and the ones that didn't kick him out sold him rotten goods. The matriarch of the orphanage even kicked him out when he was eight. On top of that the younger generation ignored Naruto as well due to their parents showing a dislike for the boy.

Eventually Naruto joined the ninja academy. He wasn't very talented because he had trouble performing the basic jutsu. This wasn't due to a lack of talent, but due to a lack of control. He had massive reserves for someone his age. This made his chakra hard to control which meant he couldn't do a simple transformation or clone. The teachers also slacked off and never taught him anything. This made him the dead last of the class.

After going through the academy three times Naruto finally seemed to catch a break. He finally passed after outing a traitor to his home, the hidden leaf village. He learned an A-ranked forbidden jutsu in just an hour and finally passed.

That good time didn't last long however. He was put on a team with the rookie of the year Sasuke Uchiha and his loyal fan girl Sakura Haruno. The two immediately made fun of the blonde and mocked him whenever they could. Sakura even went so far as to punch him for the smallest of things. This was actually a plan hatched by her mother. Sakura was to lure Naruto in with her womanly charm (in her mind), hurt him for any small mistake, and when the time was right kill him.

Sasuke just didn't like him because he thought Naruto was dead weight.

What's worse was Naruto's sensei, Kakashi Hatake. Kakashi blamed Naruto for the death of the fourth who was his sensei. When the exam for the genin came and went he tied Naruto to a post and just left him there. When training came he left to train Sasuke privately and gave Sakura genjutsu to practice while forsaking Naruto.

Now the man had taken them on a C-rank mission to protect a bridge builder named Tazuna as he made his way back to his home in Wave Country. It was immediately bumped up to a B-rank mission when they were attacked by two missing nin from Kiri called the Demon Brothers. Despite better judgment they all went along with the mission.

Now the team was currently in the middle of a confrontation with an A-ranked missing nin by the name of Zabuza Momochi one of the former 7 swordsmen of the mist.

Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were currently in the middle of a formation in front of Tazuna while Kakashi was battling Zabuza.

"You might as well give it up Kakashi," Zabuza taunted, "I'll cut you down and those little brats of yours."

Kakashi scoffed and said, "Don't be too sure."

Kakashi then charged Zabuza with the intent of finishing the fight. Zabuza dodged the punch and then tripped the Konoha jonin. As Kakashi resurfaced from falling into the water it started to feel a bit heavier.

"Got you sucker," Zabuza said with a smirk under his mask, "Water style: Water Prison."

The water around Kakashi immediately got heaver and a sphere of water appeared around the silver haired man.

"Looks like the so-called Copy Ninja isn't as strong as they say," Zabuza said, "Let's hope your brats put up more of a fight than you."

In the mist that surrounded them a water clone Zabuza had made earlier in the fight stood in front of the three genin.

"You want a fight," Naruto asked, "I'll give you one. Shadow clone jutsu!"

There were multiple puffs of smoke and more Narutos appeared. The clones all charged at the water clone with kunai drawn. The water clone drew it's massive sword and swung destroying most of the clones. The real Naruto actually managed to dodge the incoming attack and stabbed a kunai he had into the clone's skull making it splatter to the ground in a puddle.

Naruto charged being followed by Sasuke.

Naruto reached into his bag and yelled, "Sasuke catch!"

He threw a windmill shuriken that unfoled and was caught by the young Uchiha. Sasuke threw the weapon at Zabuza with the intent of killing him. Zabuza simply caught the projectile. At that moment the man noticed another one in the shadow of it. He jumped over that one.

The second projectile then burst into smoke revealing it to be a transformed Naruto.

"Eat this you eyebrow less freak!" Naruto yelled as he threw a kunai.

Zabuza quickly threw the windmill shuriken away and went through some one sided hand sign.

"Water Style: Water Wall."

A wall of water rose up from the lake and blocked the kunai making Naruto gasp. Zabuza then tore out his sword and threw it with surprising strength. Naruto didn't have time to react and the large blade sliced through his chest. The whiskered boy fell to the water and started to sink below the surface.

Zabzua laughed like a maniac. Kakashi looked upset, but on the inside he was smirking.

'Finally,' he thought, 'Minato-sensei can finally rest in peace.'

Meanwhile…

Naruto woke with a gasp. He looked around shocked. He felt his chest and found that there was no wound. He looked around and saw what looked like a large coffin.

"What the heck is that?" Naruto thought to no one in particular.

Naruto walked over to the coffin and was shocked at what he saw. There were multiple coins inside of the coffin. There were red ones, blue ones, purple, green, black, orange, gold, gray, and silver coins. There were also two belts with strange devices. One had a rectangle buckle with three slots on it and a round device on the side with a coin dispenser. The second was a completely gray with one coin slot and a green orb on it.

Naruto reached inside to touch the buckles as soon as he did pain surged through his arms. Energy wrapped around him in beautiful displays of color. Images flooded Naruto's mind. There were images of two men using the buckles in the coffin to activate armor and fight these powerful monsters. The one with the rectangular belt had armor that was usually three colors. He saw him use the armor with the same color coins to make stronger forms. He saw him use the coins with this ax like weapon to destroy more of them. He saw the man with a silver buckle create armor that was green, silver, and black, with orbs on his arms, shoulders, legs, chest and back. Each orb made a different part. He used one, or all of them. The weapons he made even formed a large scorpion.

Naruto finally threw back his head and roared as a multicolored lightshow fire off into the sky.

In the real world…

Zabuza faced Kakashi and was about to end the fight. At that moment the same multicolored lightshow burst through the water and an incredible power was felt.

'What is this?' Zabuza thought, 'This intense power!'

Kakashi thought, 'Could it be? Is the Kyuubi awakening? But how it died? No…this isn't Kyuubi. The bloodlust isn't there. What is it then?'

Out of nowhere music played. Then a noise like three things were being scanned.

A strange voice cried out, "Shachi! Unagi Tako! Sh-Sh-Shauta! Sh-Sh-Shauta!"

There was a bright blue flash. When it faded everyone stared in shock. In front of Kakashi and Zabuza stood a tall male figure. He had on black and mostly blue outfit that looked like it was made out of leather with armor on the legs, arms, shoulders and head. The head looked like the head of a whale with large yellow eyes. The arms had a white lighting bolt going down the arm from the shoulders to the gloves. They also had what looked like light blue ropes on it as well. The legs had what looked like light blue octopus tentacles imprinted on them. On his chest was a large medal that had three symbols on it. The top part had what looked like a whale in mid jump, the middle had the image of an eel, and the bottom had the image of an octopus.

The man was silent before he threw back head and yelled. The yell sent out a wave of blue energy that knocked Zabuza off his feet and freed Kakashi.

Zabuza caught himself and glared angrily at the newcomer. The armored man reached into the water before pulling out Zabuza's sword Kubikirihocho. He man then threw it to Zabuza. The missing nin caught it before the man got into a fighting stance.

"I don't know who you are," Zabuza growled, "but if you stand in my way I'll tear you to pieces."

Zabuza charged at the man. Just as he reached the man he swung. To his shock the man turned into water and flew up avoiding the strike. The armored man then swung his arms unleashing the ropes on his arms that wrapped around Zabuza's sword. The former swordsman screamed out in agony as volts of electricity went through him. Zabuza dropped his sword with smoke rising off of him.

The armored man didn't' relent as he charged at Zabuza and jumped into the air. The tentacles imprinted on his legs suddenly came to life and spread out. Zabuza was unprepared for the barrage of kicks that he was on the sudden end off. The masked swordsman fell to the ground in pain.

The man grabbed a round object off the side of his belt in one hand before he tilted the buckle. He ran it over the buckle making the same noise that they heard earler.

"Scanning Charge: Octo Banish!"

The man burst into water and flew up. The ropes on his arm shot out and wrapped around Zabuza making him scream again. The man was then ripped from the spot and brought forward. The tentacles on the armored man's legs spread out again. This time they all pointed at one spot and spun like a drill.

The attack slammed into Zabuza's stomach and he went right through the man who gave one last scream of pain just as a large explosion sounded throughout the forest.

The armored man landed on his feet and turned to face the shocked remainder of team 7.

The remaining members were all thinking, 'What in the heck was that?'

The armored man faced them before he flashed again. Then he walked over to the lake and pulled out Zabuza's sword. The massive weapon flowed and shifted. when the glow faded it showed a different weapon. It was still the Zanbato sword, but it was in fact much more futuristic look. The blade was now pitch black with a long red strip down the blade. At the hilt there was a coin deposit that could hold up to three coins.

The armored man twirled the sword before stopping and nodded letting out a grunt of satisfaction.

"Who are you?" asked Kakashi.

The armored man looked at him for a second before turning around.

Kakashi was furious at the motion of ignoring and yelled, "Don't turn your back on me!"

Kakashi charged, but the man burst into water and flew off into the air.

Kakashi growled angrily.

"Who was that Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know Sakura," Kakashi said, "but the next time I see him I'm going to beat some answers out of him.

Later…

The armored man splashed down forming a large puddle on the ground before he reformed into himself. The man looked around before the medals on his belt and chest flashed bright blue. The armor then vanished revealing Naruto…a changed Naruto.

The boy was now a bit taller and his clothes no longer fit. His eyes were now a darker shade of blue. His hair was no longer sun-kissed blonde, but a deep gold color. His whiskers marks were actually a tad bit lighter as well. Naruto stumbled before he fell back landing in a sitting position in front of a tree.

Naruto's mindscape…

Naruto groaned and rose up from the ground.

"Oh man," Naruto thought, "Somebody get the number on that fruit cart."

Naruto looked around in confusion as he saw himself inside of a massive sewer. He also saw that he was in front of a massive cage. As the blonde approached the cage he noticed something. There were multiple round plates that looked a lot like the coins in the coffin he found earlier.

"What is all this?" Naruto asked.

"I could ask you the very same kit," a dark voice came from within the cage.

Naruto faced the massive cage to see a large pare of red vulpine eyes looking back at him. A huge mouth of teeth soon followed.

"Kyuubi right?" Naruto asked.

"In the flesh…so to speak."

There was brief silence before Naruto slammed his fist into the cage door.

"You stupid over grown fuzz ball!" Naruto yelled, "You're the reason my life has been hell so far! Do you have any idea what I've been through? Everyone in the village either hates me or looks down on me! I'm pretty much cannon fodder to my own team!"

With each statement Naruto punched the cage.

Naruto finally fell to his knees and cried. Something he had sworn he would never do.

He felt a pair of slender arms wrap around him in a gentle embrace. He looked up and saw a beautiful woman with long red hair. What caught his attention was the pair of fox ears and nine tails she had.

"K-K-Kyuubi?" Naruto asked.

The woman nodded and said, "I am."

Naruto backed away and said, "What the heck? How are you a girl? You sound like a guy a minute ago?"

Kyuubi shrugged and said, "I guess it must be a volume thing…I can't quite figure it out myself."

The two looked at each other and shrugged.

"Anyway," Kyuubi said, "Kit do you have any idea what you stumbled across when you were nearly killed by that missing nin?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow and shook his head.

Kyuubi said, "That was an ancient power that belonged to monsters called Greeeds."

Naruti raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's a Greeed?"

Kyuubi sighed and muttered, "Why is it humans never know anything."

Kyuubi cleared her throat and said, "Greeeds were ancient creatures that existed a long time ago. They were monsters that were able to feed of the desires of humans and were able to take a form that were similar to animals. Eventually a humans learned how to harvest this power by creating coins that held the Greeeds power. If the coins were all the same color then the user was even more powerful."

Naruto whistled at the thought before he asked, "How do you know all of this?"Kyuubi shrugged and said, "I'm an all powerful demon. It is my business to know. You never know what might end up threatening your position of power anymore."

Naruto shrugged and accepted the answer.

"It seems you came across the power of the men who defeated the Greeeds a long time ago," Kyuubi said , "On top of that it seems your body has adapted to that power and has become under a process called Greeedification. You are in essence a Greeed yourself."

Naruto yelled, "I'm a monster now!"Kyuubi calmed the boy down and said, "No you aren't a monster. A monster is a creature that kills for no reason. Does it only because he can."

Naruto wiped his forehead and said, "That's a relief. So what happened when I was knocked out?"

Kyuubi waved her hand a large screen appeared. Naruto cheered when he saw himself in the armor and saw himself kicking Zabuza around. Though he was a little freaked when he saw Zabuza destroyed. He was however curious when he saw the sword change.

"First of all," Naruto said when the movie ended, "That was awesome! Second…what was that thing with the sword?"Kyuubi was curious herself and said, "I think the sword Zabuza had was sentient. When you defeted him it acknowledged you as its knew wielder. I changed to fit you I guess. That would explain the coin slots on it."Naruto nodded at the red headed woman.

"Now then," Kyuubi said, "I need you to wake up. We need to start training if you are going to learn how to use that armor effectively. Before that thought. I want you to do something for me."Naruto looked at the red head and asked, "What?"

The woman grabbed Naruto by his torn shirt and yelled, "GET RID OF THAT THRICE DAMNED ORANGE MONSTROSITY THAT YOU CALL AN OUTFIT!"
