Naruto : A Second Chance

"Do you think we should help him?" Karui commented as the two swordsmen ran at each other. "And why isn't he using any Jutsu after that one dragon he released!? I admit he seems good enough to handle that sword, but his Ninjutsu seems better , right?"

"He has pride in his blade," Killer B commented, "like a ninja he has to sneak up on them quicker, with his finger on a trigger like, like he's drawing a sword! This is combat, man, this is war!"

"Who are you calling 'man'!?" Karui was about to jump him when Samui stopped her.

"His sword, he doesn't carry it long, but he has experience," Samui explained, "furthermore, didn't you hear? It's not the first time they fought. Maybe he would see it as dishonour. That other guy called him rival after all. Men are idiots Karui, they go really far for the stupidest of reasons."

------------------------------------------------------------

And Naruto realized something too. This stance wasn't as perfected as his other techniques.

"What did you tell me the last time…?" Naruto prepared his blade and ran at Maron, "you will never beat me with a technique as sloppy as this!"

"I DIDN'T WORD IT LIKE THAT!" Maron shouted, turning around his sword and bringing it down far faster than the stance let on. But Naruto just rolled forward, the sword cutting a bit of his hair. Before Maron could do anything, Naruto's hilt found a spot around his armpit, and struck the taut nerves there by enhancing the hilt with chakra. As Maron's arm became numb, he let out a stream of continuous Iaido each targeting Maron's vitals. As Maron got busy in dodging the slashes, his stance completely crumbled. The next moment his sheathed sword struck one of the completely unguarded places of Maron's body… right between his legs

--------------------------------------------

"Forget what I said, this boy has as much honor as a shinobi." Samui sighed. "Not… cool."

Killer B winced and envied Omoi for being unconscious. "This was brutal. Combat, man, this is war of two unflinching wills!"

-------------------------------------------

"DIE! You utterly rotten---" Maron shouted and cursed, lying on the floor with his hand trying to protect whatever remained of his crotch. His sword lay forgotten before the threat that was delivered to his lineage.

[Maron defeated.

Before Naruto could comment on it, Maron disappeared again. Only this time Maron was visible as he ran. "I will get you the next time!"

"I didn't know a guy could have such a high voice…" Naruto commented.

"Whoa, blondie, you got skill!" Karui grinned. "We have to spar sometime!"

"Sure, whatever, can we get to the village before more come?" Naruto threw his sword to Samui and turned to the large mountain they would have to climb to reach Kumo.

"Hey, wait! If you aren't with us you get into trouble!" Karui ran with him, still holding Omoi's still form while sliding him through the dirt.

"God no, there are two of them…" Samui sighed. "Not cool at all, let's go B¬ sensei."

Killer B was distracted though. His hand holding his small book he began scribbling some notes. 'To the beat of a samurai, ninja can't reach it, if something stands in your way, you don't need Ninjutsu to beat it.' It seems Killer B found interest in samurai.

"Sensei!" Samui called out. "We need to go!"

----------------------------------------------------------

"HAHAHAHAH!" Karui laughed at Naruto's stories. They were only stories of course, nothing to do with plot relevant happenings. But a Sensei who wears a mask behind a mask to prank his students?

"Yeah, laugh it up, you should've seen our reactions." Naruto muttered. "Nobody knows what he looks like under that mask! Except those that see him eat, and even that he does so fast you can blink and miss it!"

"Halt!" A Kumo¬ Nin stood in front of him. "I need a way of identification."

"He's a resigned ninja of Konoha," Samui explained as he pulled out his papers. "He has some information for the Raikage and he gave us his sword to show he didn't mean any harm."

"Are you sure? I heard an explosion a few minutes ago."

"Yes, it was by this guy's rival here," Karui pointed at him. "And he total-led his --"

Killer B clamped his hand over her mouth. "Do not repeat that, let's just say he beat that poor soul. Some things are better way that, left unsaid you all."

"And why is Omoi unconscious?" The gate guard asking, his headache increasing.

"This awesome guy right here gave me a new weapon!" Karui, freed from Killer B's hand, called out. She brought out the ladle. Omoi woke up in that moment and jumped back, behind his sensei and pointed at it.

"I told you it was dangerous! See, an Uzumaki! Seal masters, he probably made it impossible to break!" Omoi shouted frantically.

"Uzumaki… Naruto?" The other gate guard asked. "Did you scribble 'Nine ¬Tails Jinchuriki' here?"

"Yea, B already knows, so I guess if I am open about it, people wouldn't wonder what I have to hide." Naruto's logic may sound good, but its doubtful many people will trust him.

"… Do you want to join our village?"

"Stop asking me! I like being free!" Excuse of every bad missing Nin ever.

"Just… go, please. Before he begins," As if jinxing it, B began to rap.

"Do the impossible, see the invisible, row or--¬"

"GO!"

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Your ninja are awfully pushy." Naruto commented.

"Only when Sensei is involved," Samui said, stretching. Naruto didn't ever look at her b.r.e.a.s.ts. Which could mean two things, he had more control than

others or he didn't like women.

'The first is doubtful, he's too impulsive.' Now, if he knew what she thought he would loudly deny it, but because he didn't a rumour could easily spread. Of course she didn't know that fighting for the sake of the world can take thoughts of romance out. Not that b.r.e.a.s.ts had anything to do with romance. not that Naruto actually realized that himself. Kumogakure was quite different compared to Konoha. It was on the top of a mountain right above the clouds, and many buildings were built into them. The

village didn't have that "homey" feeling Konoha had, but it was a class all on its own.

The Raikage tower if it could be called such was a gigantic blue thing between two mountains.

"BEEEEEEE!" Naruto heard from above them, one of the windows in the tower exploding outwards before Raikage A came jumping out. "Why are you so late?"

The Raikage was like his brother a tall dark skinned man. And giant muscles. His pale blonde hair was combed back and he had a small moustache and goatee.

"Hey, bro, you see we were distracted, but we came here as so¬--"

"SHUT UP!" The Raikage shouted again, a lack of indoor voice present. "Samui."

"We met Uzumaki Naruto here halfway the way, he is the Kyuubi Jinchuriki and here to warn us about an organization that hunts for the Bijuu." Samui

explained hastily. Better not provoke the Raikage more.

"You…" A looked irritated by something before grabbing for Naruto's face and pulling on his cheeks. "You look like the Yondaime Hokage…"

"Tshash rightshh…" Naruto got out and freed his face from the Raikage. "I'm his son."

The game couldn't really stop him when someone else mentioned it.

"WHAT!?" Even B was surprised.

"And what's the reason you brought a Konoha shin¬" Naruto cut him off, showing him his papers. "Gahahahah! The Yondaime Hokage's son resigning! That's

gold! Hey¬"

"No, I don't want to join." Naruto sighed. "They asked already, I am here to warn you."

"Raikage¬ sama!" They heard a voice and some steps. "I told you should use the door! The repair costs for the window every week are stacking up!"

"Ah…" The Raikage looked slightly embarrassed. Slightly. "This is Mabui, she's my assistant." Like many Kumogakure residents she had dark skin and strangely silver hair that reminded him of Kakashi.

"Let's get up to my office."
