Hi no Ishi Chapter 10
OFion does not own Naruto. The series belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.
Thud, thud, thud, thud
The two ninjas had a rhythm by the time they reached Konohagakure no Sato, the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
The village founded exactly twenty years ago by Hashirama Senju, the Shinobi no Kami and Madara Uchiha, Bishamon no Konoha (Konoha's War God) to cease the fighting between their respective clans and bring peace to Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire).
The village embodied the Hi no Ishi, the Will of Fire. It was the belief that you must protect the "King" at all cost. It was the belief that you must protect what you love and love what you protect. It was the belief that together, people were stronger. It was the belief that people must survive and protect the future.
It was the belief that love conquered hate.
Thud, thud, thud, thud
The man's white haori fluttered in the wind, the kanji for "Izanagi" going vertically down his back displayed proudly. He wore a pair of long black pants that were slightly wider at the bottom like hakama while his feet were covered by black shinobi sandals. He wore no shirt under his haori leaving his muscular chest exposed to the world and revealing the dozen or so tattooes he had on his chest and arms, all of which were various kanji.
He had spiky hair which was an assorted mix of bright gold and blood red and pointed in every direction wildly like the mane of a lion. His face was masked by a white Kitsune mask but through it could be seen two bright blue eyes that seemed to glow.
Thud, thud, thud, thud
His companion was beautiful. There was no other word to describe her.
Her porcelain skin was flawless and her figure was one of a goddess. She was short, petite actually, but her large bust and perfect posterior left no complaints from any man.
Her short pitch black kimono sat perfectly on her body and was open on the top just enough to reveal a bit of cleavage. Underneath her kimono was a pair of short kunoichi shorts that clung to her like a second skin but was comfortable enough so she could use her incredible flexibility she had gained over her years of being a shinobi. Fishnet was wrapped around her right thigh and left calf.
But the most interesting and enthralling part about her were her eyes and hair. They were both darker than black and seemed to absorb light. Her eyes were filled with madness and genius while her hair was finer than silk, cascading down her back like a river of night.
Thud, thud, thud, thud
The duo was quite intimidating and seemed like polar opposites, tall and short, white and black, male and female. Both however radiated power on a scale beyond the comprehension of any of the civilians.
Thud, thud, thud, thud
The gate of Konoha was before them which was in fact a humongous wall with two large green doors with hiragana painted on each door. It radiated peace but the man knew that it was also the wall that held back the darkness from the light. And any good defensive wall needed some good guards.
The two ninjas didn't even get within a 100 meters when an ANBU in a white cloak and hawk mask dropped before them with a hand on his ninjato.
"Halt" He ordered but the two ninjas didn't stop seem to care and took another step forward.
"Halt immediately and state your reasons for entering Konoha" The ANBU ordered but the shinobi in white and the kunoichi in black kept walking.
"We will only speak with the Hokage" The man in white said before he and the woman disappeared, only to reappear behind the ANBU commander.
Taka's eyes widened from behind his mask and he whipped around to grab the kitsune masked shinobi's shoulder. In an instant, he was flipped and slammed to the ground with enough force to crack the earth.
The kitsune masked man's eyes pierced into the ANBU commander's soul as he crouched down next to the poor man. "Don't touch me"
Suddenly the bright blue eyes of the mystery shinobi widened and he whipped around to see 15 ANBU drop from the trees, swords drawn. "Stop resisting or we are authorized to use force"
The Kitsune masked ninja stared at them apathetically. "I'm not resisting, I was just defending myself"
The two groups said nothing when suddenly the Kitsune twisted the ANBU commander's arm, dislocating it with a pop. The ANBU leaped forward and swung their ninjatos only to be blocked by a wall of black metal. In an instant, the black metal wrapped around the weapons and pulled from the Konoha shinobis' grasp.
"Thanks hime!" The Kitsune cheered as he disappeared from their view and then everything stopped for the ANBU.
In that brief second, the man had disappeared and touched each and every member of the ANBU, including the ones hiding in the trees once. One touch was enough as black ice slowly began to crawl up their bodies until they were fully encapsulated in their frosty prisons.
"Was that necessary?" The kunoichi asked her partner who shrugged.
"I put as little chakra as possible. They're alive, just stuck" He defended himself as he flicked one of the black statues. The eyes of the ANBU inside of the ice prison widened as he tried to struggle but to no avail.
The beautiful black haired girl rolled her eyes before wrapping her arms around her boyfriend's neck and whispering into his ear. "Let's go see the Hokage so we can hurry up and get home"
The Kitsune didn't need to be told twice as he wrapped an arm around the girl's waist to hold her against him as the two of them disappeared in a flash.
Tobirama was having a shitty day. First, Hashirama had forced the academy to be evacuated when he accidentally grew a tree straight through the building and almost impaled Tobirama while he was at his desk doing paper work. Next, Mito threw a fit at the Ichiraku stand when they ran out of Narutomaki and almost destroyed the entire downtown konoha with her Senso Fuinjutsu (War Fuinjutsu).
Finally, Hiruzen and Kagami had almost set fire to Konoha when they were having a friendly spar. The two of them were terrifying, even Tobirama had to admit it and were far beyond just about everyone of their age group. Perhaps even past himself, Madara and Hashirama when they were eighteen.
Kagami's sharingan prowess was incredible, beyond anyone besides his father and uncle. The first time he had unlocked his black Kanseitai- Susanoo (Complete Body- Susanoo), the villagers began to freak out as they thought they saw the shinigami looming over the village.
Hiruzen had decided he wished to surpass Naruto and Kagami, both who had always been a small step ahead of him so he had pleaded to Hashirama to train him. The old Senju was apprehensive at first but agreed when he saw the Sarutobi's determination and spirit. Thus, the Sarutobi's elemental and taijutsu prowess was through the roof, to the point that several had claimed that he had the potential to be the next Hokage.
Which of course made Hiruzen's ego shot through the roof until Biwako beat the living shit out of him.
Biwako had begun to train under Mito, who had claimed her to be her apprentice and taught her advanced Iryo-ninjutsu to the point Biwako was perhaps the greatest medical ninja in Konoha. Mito had even decided to give Biwako the Byakugo no In (Strength of a Hundred Seal) so that she could break the three rules of an Iryo-nin. This when combined with the special abilities of her clan allowed her to heal anyone within a fifty foot radius of her without even touching them.
The next generation almost always surpasses the previous one.
"Hmmm" Tobirama hummed under his breath as he thought of his nephew.
He had always cared for Naruto, more than an uncle would for a nephew. In a way, he had raised the boy as Hashirama was always in the office and Mito had always been working as the ambassador for Uzushiogakure. Naruto was the son he never had.
His thoughts were interrupted when there was a flash of light and a puff of smoke in the center of the room. Four ANBU dropped from the ceiling but in an instant, they were knocked out.
Tobirama made an impressed noise as he noticed the speed in which the ANBU were taken out.
"More ANBU?" A feminine voice asked. Feminine? His mother is going to be happy…, Tobirama thought with an amused smile.
"It's a Konoha thing" The other male voice said. The smoke cleared to reveal a tall man with shaggy red and gold hair and a short girl with long black hair. Tobirama raised an eyebrow at the man and his companion.
"Yo Oji-san, long time no see" The man said as he removed his fox mask. His face was tan and chiseled, with three whisker birthmarks on each cheek and bright blue eyes that twinkled with amusement at the
Tobirama looked at Naruto with an amused smile. "Hello Naruto-kun."
He jutted his head toward the girl next to his nephew. "Who's your friend?"
Naruto threw an arm around the short girl's shoulders. "This is Ai. You may remember her from the Gokage Kaidan"
Ai rolled her eyes and shrugged off Naruto's arm before bowing before the elder Senju. "Hello Hokage-sama"
"She's also my girlfriend" Naruto added with a grin. Tobirama raised an eyebrow and looked at the two of them. He internally smiled when he saw the small loving smile on the girl's face.
Tobirama leaned back in his chair and looked at his nephew with tired eyes. "You're a handful"
The white haired man cast his eyes toward Ai. "Does your family know you're here?"
"Sort of. I disagreed with what Sunagakure has been doing so I left the village and followed Naruto." Ai admitted. Sunagakure wasn't her home anymore, the people there weren't her family anymore...
"She's at least jounin rank but could probably take on Kaa-san if she went all out" Naruto pointed out. Tobirama raised an eyebrow again. Mito was the only S-rank kunoichi in Konoha and one of the strongest women in the world. If this girl could take her on then she will be a major asset to the village.
"Fine, you may join Konoha." Tobirama said with a sigh. "However I want all information you have on Suna as well as a profile of your abilities"
Ai bowed once more. "Thank you Hokage-sama"
Tobirama turned to his nephew. "I believe your friends are at Training Field Zero"
"Sounds like fun. I could use a chance to cut loose" Naruto said as his eyes twinkled with whimsy and a hidden danger. Suddenly, he was gone. No flash, no gust of wind, no smoke. Just gone.
Ai turned to Tobirama with fear in his eyes. "I would set up every barrier you have"
Tobirama scowled at the Suna girl's implications. "How strong is he?"
Ai sighed and shook her head slowly. "I don't know."
"What do mean?" Tobirama asked, eager to get more information on his nephew's progress.
"I don't stand a chance against him anymore" Ai bit her lip in thought. "I can't think of anyone beside you or the other kages that could stand a chance of beating him"
Tobirama raised an eyebrow. "Send the barrier team in."
Instantly the remaining chakra sources in the room disappeared to do as they were told.
"I'm assuming you'll be staying at the Senju Compound. I'll set up a room-" Tobirama began only to be stopped when Ai raised a finger to her lips and blushed.
"I'll stay with Naruto, don't worry about it" She said before giggling at the thought and disappearing in a swirl of black sand.
Tobirama rubbed his temples and sighed. "Mito is not going to be happy…"
"Yasaka Magatama!"
"Kongonyoi: Oyobu! (Adamantine Staff: Extend!)"
The glowing black shuriken exploded with a burst of chakra when it collided with the incredibly long staff in the hands of an eighteen year old Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He hadn't changed much, the same dark eyes with slight lines under them. He was slim but more muscular than Naruto, like a monkey. He was wearing what appeared to be a tiger fur cloak and a pair of black pants.
What Naruto did notice was that the tips of his hair was bright white and he seemed to radiate power.
Senjutsu...that's going to be annoying, Naruto thought to himself before turning to Hiruzen's opponent.
Kagami had grown out his hair, so it was sticking out of his headband and around his face. He was wearing black armor in the style of the warring states and Naruto could see Kitetsu going across his back.
His mangekyo was spinning as he floated in the middle of his armored Susanoo.
The battle must have just started as Kagami is only in his stage 2 Susanoo and Hiruzen's reserves are almost full, Naruto deduced to himself as leapt high from his hiding spot on the tree.
As he flew into the air, he twisted his body so he was facing downwards before gravity began to take its effect.
His body's acceleration due to gravity quickly did its job as Naruto began to plummet to the ground with a fist out.
With a humongous bang, his fist met the ground. "Freezing Release: Ice Age!"
On contact, the ground turned into a sheet of ice that seemed to stretch on as far as could be seen.
Kagami and Hiruzen's eyes widened in surprised as they jumped back away from this mysterious black ice and raised their weapons to the intruder. two ethereal black katana and a gold tipped staff was pointed with deadly precision at the man who was kneeling, his head down and hidden by his red and gold locks.
"This is a private training ground. Please leave" Kagami asked although the gears in his head was turning. Red and gold hair? But his friend never had ice powers...
Hiruzen nodded in agreement. "Yeah. Get the hell out!"
The man chuckled. "Why are you always so aggressive Baka-Saru?"
Hiruzen's eyes widened in shock and the senjutsu chakra faded from him but before he could say anything, the man had already turned to face Kagami. "Can't you recognize an old friend teme?"
"You're back…" Kagami said with a frown as his Susanoo dispersed.
"I'm gone for three and a half years and the first thing you say is…" Naruto complained before morphing his face into a rather good impression of the famous Uchiha Scowl. "'You're back'"
Hiruzen fell to the ground laughing and pointing at the look of annoyance on the Uchiha's face.
Naruto grinned widely and crossed his arms in front of him. "So can this battle have another participant?"
Hiruzen cracked his knuckles in anticipation as he got ready. "I've been waiting three and a half years to kick your ass"
"Fine" Kagami mumbled as he settled into a stance. Hands out in front of him like blades, knees slightly bent, eyes set forward and a slight smirk on his face. This was the infamous Muto-Ryu of Kagami Uchiha.
There was a moment of silence as all three friends sat there when Naruto jumped back, his hands flashing through seals before...
"Earth Release: Spike Forest!" Naruto yelled as he slammed his crystalline hands into the ground. From the ground burst pillars of stone, eager to pierce an Uchiha and a Sarutobi with their points.
Hiruzen slammed Enma into the ground and willed his partner to extend, launching him away from the earth spears.
Kagami drew Kitetsu and held them before him. "Zanka no Tachi! (Longswords of the Remnant Flame!)"
For an instant, the blades erupted in black flames before it was gone, leaving only a pair of scarred blades that looked like they have been through hell and back. Kagami spun and began to slice through the stone trees like a hot knife through butter, the cut edges glowing in black flames.
"Ninkenjutsu? (Ninja Sword Techniques?)" Naruto asked his friend who shrugged. He pulled his hands from the ground, their glowing chakra coating blinding Kagami's chakra sensitive for a second. This allowed Naruto to shoot forward and strike Kagami in the gut with his earth chakra coated fist.
Kagami was about to receive a knee to the face as soon as he doubled over when there was a shout from above. "Don't forget about me!"
Naruto and Kagami looked up to see a senjutsu enhanced Hiruzen wielding a staff the size of the Academy. "Saru-Ryu: Shukuchi! (Monkey Style: Reduced Earth)!"
"Shit" Naruto and Kagami mumbled in unison. The two ninjas jumped out of the way, Naruto disappearing in a flash while Kagami leaped onto a nearby tree that was hopefully far enough.
The staff struck the earth with enough force to send boulders flying like pebbles and every time one came close, Kagami was forced to destroy it in fear of being crushed.
"No more Mr. Nice Uchiha…" Kagami mumbled to himself as he let chakra flow from his body, forming a familiar black humanoid figure. The Susanoo was bigger and more armored than Naruto remembered, most likely due to Kagami's bigger reserves. It was humongous, larger than the mountains of Iwagakure no Sato, larger than almost anything in the nations.
Naruto clapped his hands together and focused his chakra, his eyes beginning to glow with light. "Soraton: Senkei! (Sky Release: Annihilate!)"
Storm clouds quickly began to roll in, blackening the once blue sky. Naruto raised a hand to the sky and immediately bolts of lightning began to rain from the sky, heavenly spears of plasma.
The lightning began to hammer into Kagami's Susanoo despite its raised shield of Amaterasu Flames and Kagami was forced to keep pumping chakra into the technique to avoid being fried.
"THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?" Hiruzen screamed as he began to dodge the lightning bolts to the best of his ability. He was a monkey so dodging was in his nature but still, these lightning bolts were something else.
"Screw this!" Kagami finally roared, his stoic expression breaking as he dropped the Amaterasu flame shield and threw all four Susanoo arms toward the sky.
In the instant before a lightning bolt struck him, black energy surrounded his body. "Amenonuhoko!"
A sphere of black chakra appeared around Kagami's Susanoo for a brief moment before disappearing without a trace. However in that moment, the lightning disappeared as well.
Hiruzen frowned from his perch, Emna slung across his back. "What the hell is that?"
"I don't know…" Naruto said. The barrier had been able to nullify his jutsu easily and the Soraton: Senkai was easily S-Rank which meant it would take an incredibly strong attack to break that shield. On the other hand, Kagami only held it up for a few seconds which would imply either a time limit or a massive chakra drain.
"Freezing Release: Dragon's Fury!" Naruto yelled as he formed a dog hand seal. Snow began to gather around Naruto as the wind began to pick up, Naruto's red and gold hair whipping around. His hand shot outward, the snow following until a black dragon made of snow and ice appeared and shot at Hiruzen and Kagami.
The Monkey Sage smirked as he began to charge his staff with Katon chakra until Enma began to glow red. "Fire Release: Eternal Raze!"
Hiruzen leapt straight at the ice dragon, slamming his staff directly into the roaring dragon's mouth. As soon as the golden end of his adamantine staff struck the ice dragon, spears of fire shot from the end and ripped through the dragon like it was nothing.
"Yasaka Magatama!"
Hiruzen turned around only to get blind sided by a spinning shuriken made of black chakra, his trained instincts being the only thing that allowed him to block it with his staff. On the other hand, the Yasaka Magatama was powerful enough to send Hiruzen flying backward into three trees, slamming through each of them easily before stopping against a boulder.
"Hm" Naruto rubbed his chin in thought from where he was floating eye level with Kagami. "I shouldn't get hit with that"
Kagami sighed. "That would be smart"
Naruto shrugged as he began to molding chakra and settled into a taijutsu stance. It looked a little weird for a man to settle into a taijutsu stance in front of a fifty foot Susanoo avatar but Naruto Senju was not a normal person. Ice gathered around Naruto's fist until it was a miniature blizzard coating his hand, the ground around Naruto covered in frost.
Naruto shot his hands forward with a punch. "Freezing Release: Shattered Fist!"
A shockwave in the shape of a fist made of ice shot from Naruto's hand and continued to expand from its condensed state until it was at least large enough for the Susanoo to become worried.
"Kamui Shuriken!" Kagami yelled. In his Susanoo's second pair of arms formed two shurikens in the shape of Kagami's mangekyo sharingan. As soon as the black shurikens struck the shockwave, the ice fist was dissolved into a swirling vortex.
Naruto felt like slamming his head against a tree trunk. "Do your really have five Mangekyo Techniques?"
Kagami shrugged. "Tou-san did say that I have the strongest eyes in the history of the Uchiha Clan"
"Are you ladies done chatting?" Hiruzen called from his side of the field, a frown on his face. That last tree hurt and flying into a huge ass boulder didn't help.
"Want to finish this with one move?" Naruto asked, cracking his knuckles with a grin.
"That works with me" Hiruzen said with a similar grin. Enma groaned from his position on Hiruzen's back as he knew he was in for a ride.
Kagami shrugged before dissolving his Susanoo and dropping to the floor. "Fine"
Naruto, Kagami and Hiruzen jumped back until they were all at the edge of the clearing. There was silence as each Shinobi began to charge and prepare for their techniques.
Hiruzen's hair turned completely white as nature energy began to enter his body and his eyes began to glow with bright golden light that pierced through the darkness like a pair of beacons. Golden flames surrounded Hiruzen's body and began to swirl around him like a whirlpool.
Kagami raised a palm to the sky, his eternal mangekyo sharingan spinning with chakra. Slowly, a ball of condensed black Amaterasu flames formed in his palm before slowly growing. Kagami continued to push his chakra into the incredibly dense ball of flames until it was the size of one of the Hokage's faces and glowed like a miniature black sun.
Naruto closed his eyes as he imagined two seals appearing on his palms. When he opened his eyes, they glowed a heterochromic blue and silver. Naruto raised his palms in front of them, the kanji reading "Ku (Sky)" and "Aisu (Ice)". Silver and light blue energy gathered around Naruto's palms as seals on his body that had been collecting chakra over the last week released themselves.
The hand that glowed with the silver power of the sky began to spark with lightning and wind began to whirl around it like a cyclone.
The hand that glowed with the light blue power of the eternal blizzard that freezes even the hottest of flames.
Hiruzen stepped forward, his fist shooting outward as the golden flames shaped themselves into a visage of a dragon which flew with a roar. "Saru Senjutsu: Toga no Hono! (Monkey Nature Technique: Flames of Rebuke!)"
Kagami brought his miniature star down onto his opponents like a divine creator bringing down heaven's wrath. "Enton: Dai Enkai: Entei! (Blaze Release: Great Flame Commandment: Flame Emperor!)"
Naruto gently placed his hands together in front of him. "Shin Soraton: Hakke no Togame (True Sky Release: White Haze Punishment)"
Ice, snow, rain, lightning and gale force winds ripped from the heir of the Senju clan's hands as he summoned the Unstoppable Blizzard from Hell. With a thought, his storm immediately clashed with the Black Flames of Heaven and the Golden Flames of Earthly Sins. The three S-Rank techniques battled for dominance for almost thirty seconds before there was an eruption that sent all three friends flying backwards.
The explosion was of an unimaginable caliber as the techniques that fueled it were of the highest order and managed to stretch the barrier around them. The barrier was the Saisei Kekkai (Self-Repairing Barrier) and was designed to hold Bijuus with thirty-six barriers constantly being rebuilt by a team of ANBU.
And three boys had almost managed to destroy it without even trying.
The heat from the blast and the two different flames was enough to force Naruto, Kagami and Hiruzen to coat their bodies in chakra or else receive third degrees burns. Naruto was sent flying back through five trees before he managed to twist his body and skid to a stop by grabbing onto the ground for resistance, his hand creating a trail of dirt.
Kagami summoned his Susanoo ribcage a second before he struck the ground, the black ethereal ribcage protecting him as he went rolling across the ground.
Hiruzen was the only one to land sort of gracefully as he had stabbed Enma into the ground, the black adamantine staff slowing him down enough for him to land.
"Damn, that hurt" Kagami groaned as he stood up and began to walk toward the exit with Naruto and Hiruzen walking to his side. None of them had gotten too badly hurt, Naruto had a slight burn on his back while Hiruzen's back was hurting from hitting all those trees and Kagami's eyes were hurting from so much use.
Hiruzen grinned. "Did the famous stoicism of Kagami Uchiha just get broken?"
"Blasphemy!" Naruto yelled as he searched for some holy water to throw at Kagami.
The Uchiha shook his head with a sigh. "I cannot begin to express the amount of hatred I have for you guys right now"
The three shared a laugh as Naruto threw his arms around their shoulders, pulling them in as they walked toward the village that they had grown up in. "I've missed you guys"
"Now who sounds like the gay one"
"Is this the biggest table in Konoha?" Naruto quipped as he looked at his menu to avoid making eye contact with his mother.
The table could have been with the amount of people currently seated in the backroom of the restaurant. Apparently everyone wanted/was forced to have dinner with Naruto and Ai on their first day in Konoha.
At the table was of course Naruto and Ai but also Mito, Hashirama and Tobirama who had taken the day off from his Hokage paperwork. At the table was also Madara, his wife Asami and Kagami who had been forced to wear a formal kimono which earned a laugh from Naruto and Hiruzen while Biwako just shook her head at their childishness.
"Don't try changing the subject" Mito glared at her son who cowered behind his menu. "What is going on between you and this girl?"
Ai raised an eyebrow at her boyfriend's mother. "I have a name"
She was wearing a surprisingly tight black yukata that matched Naruto's silver one and showed off her impressive chest that made most of the girl's at the table a little self conscious.
Mito rolled her blue eyes as she stared at Ai. "Why should I learn the name of some girl my son picked up and will likely leave for the next girl?"
The room suddenly grew a little colder as chakra and killing intent spilled from Ai's body in anger. Tobirama raised an eyebrow from the amount as another high leveled shinobi was always a boon for the village.
"Do you want to go Tomato?" Ai growled as the metallic silverware began to clatter on the table. "I'll break you"
The two girls began to glare at each other in a battle of wills and determination when suddenly Mito leaned across the table and wrapped Ai in a big hug.
"Oh good job Naruto-kun!" Mito yelled as she squeezed the Suna girl to death. "You found a keeper!"
Ai gave Naruto the most confused and shocked look of her life while the Senju just shrugged. "She's crazy, bipolar and a redhead. Just let it go"
Mito continued to giggle as she stared Ai with her bright blue eyes that screamed insanity. "Call me a Tomato again and I will shove an exploding seal so far up your ass that you'll taste it as it explodes and the contents of your intestines litters your dead body"
Mito continued to smile as she opened her menu. "So who wants food?"
Ai gave Naruto another look but he along with the other Konohans were used to Mito's craziness. Tobirama was the only semi sane one in the Senju household and even that was arguable.
"So what have you been doing these past few years Naruto-kun?" Tobirama asked as he gestured for the waiter.
"I've been exploring the world and meeting great masters" Naruto said after he and the rest of the group told the waiter what they wanted. It was not ramen but it was still food.
"I went back to Tetsu no Kuni to learn from Musashi-sama" He said with a smile.
Musashi had asked him to visit as soon as the greatest samurai learned that Naruto was on a sabbatical. It was then that Naruto and Musashi had compared the strength of Nitoryu and Niten Ichi-Ryu but sadly, Naruto lost. Naruto had also visited Goro Masamune once more, training with the older man in forging and getting drunk with the legendary swordsmith until he wanted to throw up.
"I trained with the Toads of Mount Myobokuzan" Naruto said.
Mount Myobokuzan had been a highlight of his trip. He had never laughed as hard as he had when he met Gamabunta and Fukasaku. Over the few months since Naruto had seen his personal summons, Gamabunta had hit a huge growth spurt until he was as tall as Naruto while Fukasaku was as short as ever. This left to some short jokes and Fukasaku punching Gamabunta in the stomach with a senjutsu enhanced punch. This left to a brawl between the two toads with Naruto eventually joining in. The final nail in the coffin was a water bullet from Gamabunta that missed Fukasaku and went flying directly into the face of Gamamaru-ojiji. He had never seen the old toad sage with eyes that wide.
It was Naruto's final stop on train trip that earned eyebrow raises. "I spent time in Uzushiogakure with Ashina-ojiji to see if I can surpass you guys in Fuinjutsu"
"How good are you now?" Mito asked.
Her father was a legend among the Uzumaki when it came to his sealing. Ashina was the creator of Senso Fuinjutsu which meant he was the first man to use Fuinjutsu directly in battle without having to predraw the seals. In the age of the Warring States where combat determined whether you succeeded in life or were buried with almost no one remembering.
"Ashina-ojiji and I don't know anymore" Naruto said with a shrug. "I've managed to surpass his work"
Hashirama chuckled as he glanced at his wife. "Looks like you're going to have to create a new numbering system Mito-chan"
It was then Hiruzen remembered something that he was thinking about earlier that day. "Hey Naruto, how did you get those ice and weather powers you were using today?"
"I was with Ashina-ojiji and we were discussing my Kuton seal when he received a report that a Yuki clan member from Kiri was traveling by Uzu no Kuni" Naruto said. "After that we began to discuss Kekkai Genkai and the process behind it"
"The main reason why most people can't use advanced chakra natures is that their bodies aren't built to combine the natures simultaneously and in the correct concentrations" Naruto explained. "While Tou-san has the Mokuton, I do not and I began to research how to receive an advanced nature"
"The pinnacle of my sealing prowess and the only sealing technique considered by the Uzumaki Ichizoku to be level 11 is this" Naruto said as he held his hands out in front of him, palm side up, for the entire curious table to see.
Lightning and wind began to spark in his right palm while his left hand was instantly covered in a layer of frost.
Hashirama watched this in awe. "How?"
"Ashina-ojiji and I placed an incredibly information dense seal on each one of my Tenketsu which ingrained itself into my body like my Kuton seal" Naruto said as he showed the tattoo on his shoulder. "This changed my chakra system so that each and every one of my chakra points are able to combine different natures like a Kekkei Genkai user can"
Tobirama's jaw was about to drop. "That's incredible…"
"There are a few issues however" Naruto said. Every technique had a weakness.
"It's one set of seals per chakra nature and you must research that nature intensely to recreate it. Not only this but the recreated nature won't be the exact same as the original" Naruto explained. "Over the last year, I have only managed to recreate two chakra natures"
"Soraton (Sky Release)" Naruto said, the storm in his palm sparking dangerously. "A Kekkei Tota made of Futon (Wind Release), Suiton (Water Release) and Raiton (Lightning Release) used to create storms"
"Toton (Freezing Release)" He said, the temperature of the room dropping as his hand covered in frost dropped to an even lower temperature. "A Kekkei Tota made of Futon, Suiton and Yoton (Yang Release) that freezes everything I touch"
"Can you place these seals on other shinobi?" Tobirama asked. If every shinobi in Konoha received an advanced nature then they would be unstoppable. The military applications were numerous.
"No as to use these artificial natures requires both the dense strength of a senju body and the intense life force of an Uzumaki" Naruto explained. "Anyone else would just get drained by the seals"
"You've been staying out of trouble I hope" Asami said, watching the family in front of him enjoy each other's company for the first time in a long time over Naruto's growth.
Naruto shrugged, refusing to make eye contact with his mother. "I may have fought some people…"
Ai snickered. "Some people? Check his bingo book page"
Mito gave Ai a weird look only for Ai to hand her a bingo book from a seal on her body with a certain page open.
"I thought you were supposed to be my girlfriend" Naruto said with a pout. "That implies you're not supposed to throw me to the wolves"
Everyone at the table glanced at the book in front of Mito with interest.

FLEE ON SIGHT UNLESS KAGE LEVEL OR ANBU SQUAD
"I'm impressed" Madara admitted as he sat back down in his chair. "Flee on sight order at 18 is almost unheard of"
"Damn, all I got was an 'Approach with Extreme Caution'" Hiruzen said with a pout.
Kagami nodded as he had received the same. Apparently Kyogan Kagami (Wicked Eye Kagami) and the Enkoo (Monkey King) were not as dangerous as the Konoha no Izanagi. Ouch, that hurt his ego.
"So why are almost all the villages after you?" Tobirama asked with a bit of concern.
"I may or may not have gotten into a fight with Z and caused the clouds around Kumo to rain hail so that I could get away" Naruto said, making sure to be careful with his word choice. "I may or may not have frozen a hundred Iwa shinobi that attacked me for my bounty"
Hashirama raised an eyebrow. "And Suna"
There was suddenly the sound of the door to the private dining room they were in being openned a chunin rushin in a scroll in hand.
"Hokage-sama!" The chunin said before bowing to Tobirama and holding out a scroll. "I'm sorry to disturb your meal but we received an urgent message from Sunagakure no Sato"
Tobirama shot Naruto a look as he took the message which caused Naruto to scratch his red and gold hair sheepishly.
"I may or may not have gotten into a battle with Shamon Monzaemon Chikamatsu…" Naruto said without committing. "Who may or may not be Ai's father"
Tobirama unrolled the message before reading the scroll out loud to the table. "Sunagakure no Sato of Kaze no Kuni declares war along with Kumogakure no Sato of Kaminari no Kuni and Iwagakure no Sato of Tsuchi no Kuni on Konohagakure no Sato of Hi no Kunii"
There was silence when Madara cracked a smirk. "So who's ready for a war?"
Hey Guys! Long time no see! I've been meaning to get this chapter out for a while but it's a difficult chapter to write. Hopefully uploads will be more smooth from now on considering we're going to start the First Shinobi World War arc now. I hope you guys are ready for a vampire…
See you soon and check out Earth's Legacy! It's my best work so far and I hope you like it! Bye! -OFion
