Naruto: Suzuran no Hanmā
Summary: There are two Ninja Academy's in Konoha, Senju and Suzuran. Senju has turned out the next generation of warriors who shine above the rest and become known throughout the world since the founding of the village, and Suzuran that has turned out the next generation of shinobi, and those destined to stay in the background to do the villages grunt work. Now what happens when a boy destined to shine above the rest goes to and conquers Suzuran?
…
With Tenten… "GAH! YOU BITCH!" Screamed the voyeur nin girlishly as he clutched at the senbon in his left shoulder.
His scream of pain was music to Tenten's ears, "Say that again and I'll put the next one into your throat Gennai." the smile on her face widened as she heard him curse some more. "I should have known Komugi was the one to set this thing up. You guys never could deal with the fact your entire faction was destroyed by Naruto-kun...heh during his first year even." By now she was grinning wickedly as Gennai turned red with rage.
Though he calmed faster than she would have liked, and his face twisted from rage into a sick grin setting off warning bells in her head as she let her whip unfurl at her side.
"
Katon: Housenka no Jutsu (Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique)" was heard as a dozen fireballs rained down from the top of the tree at the stationary kunoichi.
With a quick glance at the incoming fireballs Tenten gripped the handle of her whip with both hands. "
Kakucho (Extend)" with a grunt of exertion her whip stiffened causing the tip to dig into the ground sending her rocketing back and out of range before canceling the jutsu as she hit the full length of the whip allowing for her to back flip safely out of range.
Landing she noticed her hidden opponent had also shown himself on the ground, he had black hair resembling a rooster, his Hitai-ate on his forehead, a green high collared button up long sleeve shirt, and brown pants. A weapons pouch on his left leg, and wakizashi strapped to the small of his back.
Resuming his attack he forced her to the left with another volley of fireballs before charging quickly after her with a smirk.
'That's right bitch dodge all you want!' Quickly reaching a dirt circle used for a sparring ring Tenten swung her whip in a crescent moon slash at the ground kicking up a dirt cloud as the last fireball entered the ring and cloud a split second later, before making a booming impact.
Quickly circling around to what would be her left the attacking nin drew his wakizashi in a reverse grip before twirling it while raising it above his head for an overhead slash. Bringing his blade down he heard her faintly call out "
Furikkâ (Flicker)" before he briefly saw a flash steel before he crashed to the ground in a heap his blade falling beside him sliced in two.
With a click the dust finished dispersing, Tenten's right hand on the hilt of her sheathed katana. It had a black wrap over a white hilt, a black guard with a golden rose emblem which had it's thorny stem wrap around in a spiral, along with a pure black sheath tucked into her belt.
Gennei turned a bright red while pulling a Fuuma shuriken from behind his back.
'Damn it! She switched from that whip to a sword so quick that Sukima didn't stand a chance! He would have been inside the effective range of her whip…but right in range for that damn sword.' he snapped the shuriken open in his right hand before rearing back and letting it fly with a grunt of exertion.
Tenten let her sword disappear in a puff as she charged the oncoming projectile slowing her speed as she closed in. Synching her breaths and movements with it's velocity, adjusting her timing she dove straight her right arm reaching up as she spun to her left snagging it out of the air by the ring. As she turned midair her left arm shot out below her snatching up a second shuriken that was hidden in the shadow of the first.
With the momentum of her jump and spin combined with the force of the thrown blades she kept spinning as her feet touched the ground letting the weapon in her right hand fly before letting the left go with a back handed toss as she slid to a stop.
The first one arched high before curving inwards at Gennei, the second one's visibility decreased drastically from hiding in the shadow of the first.
Gennei rolled back allowing the first shuriken to sail over him. As he finished his roll he stood up ready to avoid the second when he saw it arc more at the ground right in front of him causing him to smirk at her aim. Until all four of it's blades snapped shut as it hit, with the ring still moving forward at a high rate smashing into his groin. Dropping him immediately to the ground into a hacking and wheezing mess.
Tenten walked towards the quivering mess that was her opponent with a satisfied smile on her face. "Heh, not bad, not bad! I think I'll call that the "
Okotte Iru Josei-Shin no Ikari (Wrath of an Angry Female God)". Well? Did you like it? Hmm Voyeur-san? I can't hear you?" Her response was a combination of crying and puking. Taking some pity on him she reached down and pinched his neck allowing him to escape the pain into the oh so sweet embrace of darkness.
With Lee… "How un-youthful of you Inaho-san! To use others to do your dirty work is not they way of a true man!" Lee's almost ever present smile gone, replaced by a look of pity. "Real men fight for what they want, for what they believe in. They take their strength and use an iron will to achieve their dreams!" his fists clenched tightly, his eyes filled with a fiery determination allowing those present to easily tell how deeply he believed in what he said.
Slowly withdrawing a pair of kunai with a vicious curved tip Inaho started twirling them in a nonchalant manner. "Heh always with that straightforward attitude. Sooner or later it's going to get you in trouble." hopping upwards he palmed the top of the window while flipping up into a crouch on the side of the building above the window.
A moment later a man flew out the window and down towards Lee. He had messy black hair, his Hitai-ate on a black band with straps framing his face, a black sweatshirt, black pants and black sandals. The most noticeable feature was the fact he had his hands covered in rock. Rearing his right fist reared back he roared "
Rokkugantoretto (Rock Gauntlets)" as he threw his punch at the unmoving Lee.
A large booming sound was heard right after a call of "
Raijinguheru (Rising Hell)" as a cloud of dust enveloped the two.
Inaho watched carefully, increasing the speed he twirled his kunai.
'That bastard should at least have taken some damage from Housei's attack. So even if he beats him he'll be weak enough for an easy win heh.' As the dust cleared, the look of satisfaction morphed into horror. "W-w-what the fuck?"
Holding the now deformed bare fist of Housei in his left hand Lee stood above his opponent forehead to forehead as Housei knelt there eyes rolled back in his head blood pouring down from beneath his Hitai-ate. The crumbled remains of the Doton Jutsu on the ground between the two.
Releasing the broken hand Lee allowed the man to fall forward into a position making it seem as if he was begging for forgiveness.
Looking up at the shocked Inaho, the only sign of the brief fight was a red mark on his forehead, "Sigh; Still you insist to rely on others to do your dirty work? How un-youthful of you! Let your cowardice be cleansed by my fist!" Stepping around his fallen enemy he stopped his left hand tucked behind his back, his right fist out in front of him bent at the elbow slightly.
Standing abruptly Inaho was now completely horizontal to the ground. "You're all freaks! All of you!" his index fingers now through the rings on his kunai as he spun them at break neck speeds. "But at least I got the easy one! Your taijutsu may be insane, but your lacking everywhere else!" with a crazy look in his eyes he threw his kunai in an unorthodox manner.
The kunai spun wildly and Lee merely side stepped both blades. Taking a step forward he froze again.
"
Magen: Jigoku Gouka no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Hell Fire Technique)" Inaho all but whispered as he watched Lee's face for the effects of his Genjutsu. "It's a waste for you to have all that strength!"
Lee glanced up at a giant fireball roaring towards him. Then with a curt nod to himself he burst forth straight at Inaho, completely disregarding the searing ball of flame heading his way. As he reached the academy he ran straight up at his foe who hurriedly back peddled up the wall seemingly right into the roaring inferno.
Showing complete disregard for the flames Lee tore straight through them before spinning to his left as he reached Inaho. "
Konoha Raiken (Leaf Thunder Fist)" roared the green clad Gennin as his right went right between Inaho's hasty guard embedding his fist into the mans gut sending him flying upwards rolling along the wall as he reached the top. The force of the attack sending him crashing through the weaker lip at the top of the wall, and rolling to a stop atop the building his genjutsu fading as he lost consciousness.
"While it is true genjutsu is my main weakness due to my inability to free myself from them. That does not mean I'm not fully capable of recognizing one." crouched right where he made contact with Inaho Lee had gripped into the wall with all five digits of his left hand, he pulled out a little notebook with his right, "Rule 3 of Genjutsu: Genjutsu is most effective when the one under the influence is completely unaware! So fleeing into the flames was not the most intelligent of tactics!" As he concluded his mini impromptu lecture he stood snapping his notebook shut, while pumping his left fist in the air before his moment of glory was interrupted... "Yosha Thank you Gai-Sen-AHH!" by gravity.
With Naruto… "You can't still be holding a grudge after all this time can you Komugi-senpai?" Naruto asked the man who had been staring at him for a straight minute without moving. "Uh so...could we…you know fight or something already? I'm on a bit of a tight schedule, you know with the whole graduation thing?" Noting Komugi still hadn't moved he sighed audibly
'Man my new team is gonna be pissed! I'll be at least half an hour late! If he doesn't move I'm gonna have to-' his thought process broken by a sharp whistle.
Komugi gave a devious smirk as he hopped down from the wall, "Heh your not going anywhere Uzumaki! Though this will be over quickly regardless." A moment later a younger man with short spiky gray hair, his Hitai-ate on the top front of his head, a black long sleeve shirt, with a gray poncho over top, brown pants reaching his calves, and blue sandals appeared beside him. He was also chewing on two senbon. "Kill him if you want Jimei I wont shed a tear hah!"
"Heh whatever Komugi-san, just remember you owe us those jutsu for this." Jimei said gruffly as he strode forward eying Naruto with a calculating stare. "While killing Uzumaki is something I've wanted to do for a while now, we aren't doing this for fre-" Stopping mid word he spat his senbon out right towards the blondes eyes.
Snapping his left hand up Naruto caught them between his fingers a foot in front of his face, his eyes widened though as a weighted chain wrapped itself around his entire forearm. "Che a Kusari Gama? Interesting weapon, you sure you can use it right?" he asked with a raised eyebrow getting an annoyed look out of Jimei who stood there with the Kusari Gama in his right hand, the chain looped around his left arm a few times for stability.
"Trying to provoke me? You'll know how well I can handle it when your dead!" Backing up so his chain was tight he let go of the chain with his left hand while the handle traded hands as his right held a half ram seal. "
Fukumi Hari (Hidden Needles)" and spit a group of needles at the unprotected torso of the blonde, securing himself to the ground with chakra he leaned back further to allow for no slack or retreat for the blonde.
'Huh well he's not that dumb at least, these needles are much smaller than the senbon so catching them is tricky. I bet they're poisoned as well so dodging is all that's left though even that is limited.' analyzing the situation quickly he tugged the chain slightly noticing how tight Jimei was holding it he smirked. With a quick hop forward he gained the slack he needed to deflect the needles with his chain wrapped left arm.
"That was very impressive Jimei-kun. Against a lot of enemies you'd have won, though if you'd have done something as simple as tossing a smoke bomb to follow the senbon and proceed the chain you could confuse them enough to virtually eliminate all possible escape routes. Learn from this and become stronger!" the blonde shouted out while landing and gripping the chain with both hands.
The sudden slack from the forward movement of the blonde caused Jimei to slam back into the ground, the blow to the head causing him to let go of his chakra grip on the ground.
Almost as soon as his feet lost their grip he was fiercely yanked up and towards the waiting blonde who shifted his stance bending his knees. His right leg swinging forward before he placed all his weight onto it, and sending out a vicious right hook over the left arm of Jimei, his fist then made contact with bone chilling force against the gray haired mans jaw sending him flying at the academy.
"Guahh!" was the unintelligible yell of pain from Jimei through his broken jaw as he reached the end of the length of chain causing it to snap a few feet from his arm though not before his own arm twisted harshly in several directions. His pain was fortunately cut short as he lost consciousness from bouncing off the academy wall, and coming to rest in a mangled heap on the ground.
Looking at the downed man Naruto sweat dropped,
'Um...maybe I went overboard...nah he'll bounce back...probably...well at least he's still breathing...I think...' With a shrug he reeled the broken chain in while shaking it loose from his left arm before looking back at Komugi. "Well then I suppose your next right? Unless you'd be nice enough to walk away so I can avoid being too late for meeting my sensei?"
His response was Komugi flashing through hand seals and slapping his hands on the ground with a grunt. "
Doton: Gansetsukon no jutsu (Rock Spear)"standing up he raised three spears made of rock out of the ground. Quickly tucking two of them in his sash behind his back he spun the other in front of him while taking a couple steps to get momentum and drew back before hurling it straight at Naruto while maintaining that momentum he spun the the side while lowering his posture to follow up the attack from another angle.
'Doton? High level at that! He should have stepped up like a man and made this a good fight, rather than use others like a coward.' Rapidly spinning the weighted end of the broken chain in front of him Naruto shattered the incoming projectile before shifting to the side and lining up with Komugi causing him to stop his charge abruptly as Naruto let the weight fly right at the formerly charging man.
"
Doton: Doro Gaeshi no jutsu(Earth Element: Mud Overturn)" slapping his hands on the earth after finishing some hurried seals Komugi raised a flat rectangular foot thick wall of Earth. A moment later the weighted chain made contact shaking the wall and sending a spiderweb of cracks out from the center though only on the outside, but the wall held, "FUCK! That was clo-" his relief was short lived as he heard the blonde roar out "
Hanmā (Hammer)" as a large almost gray fist crashed through the slightly weakened wall before grasping him by his sash and pulling him back through it as he brought his hands together again.
"I'm in a hurry so lets finish this!" Naruto said as he pulled Komugi through the wall before just holding a ripped piece of white cloth as a log fell to the ground amongst the shattered jutsu.
A sudden call of "
Doton: Ganchuusou no jutsu (Rock Pillar Spears)" forced Naruto to use a "
Kawarimi no jutsu (Substitution Technique)" of his own to avoid the group of earthen spears that suddenly jutted upwards from the ruins of the defensive jutsu obliterating the logs used for the two escape techniques.
Quickly turning around he flung his right elbow out smashing into another spear just below the tip, then snapping out a back fist crushing it further. Grasping a spinning piece of the broken spear he scanned for where the weapon came from he noticed another log.
"Damn it just die already!" was the only warning Naruto got as he spun and tossed his makeshift weapon at two incoming spears knocking one into the ground as he ducked the other, before side stepping quickly to avoid being impaled from behind by a livid Komugi. "This isn't natural! Your fresh from the academy! Suzuran's King or not I've been an active ninja for 6 fucking years!"
Grabbing the spear with his right hand Naruto snapped out a left jab to his jaw forcing him to loosen his grip then lose it completely when he followed the jab with a powerful low kick with his left leg sending Komugi's knee in an unnatural angle while spinning the older gennin in a cartwheeling flip.
Then before he could do another Kawarimi and escape Naruto spun the spear and brought it down in an overhead strike shattering both the spear and the older boys left arm while forcing him into the ground with a harsh thud though he still remained conscious with his last shreds of strength.
"*Cough* Why? Why can't I beat you! Hamaki-sensei taught me all these jutsu and all you did was hit shit!" Komugi spat out along with some blood as he stared up at Naruto with hatred brimming in his half lidded eyes.
With a sigh Naruto ran a hand through his hair as he looked at the fallen man with pity, "That's why you lost. You used to much chakra by using those jutsu back to back." Sighing again at the look of confusion on the mans face he continued. "You slowed down at the end from chakra exhaustion, which caused an obvious opening. Though I'd have won anyways you just made it easier."
A look of understanding washed over Komugi at the fallen forms of his team and the others he rallied against the blonde and his friends tears threatening to spill. "They lost...no I lost...damn it!"
Donning a large smile Naruto crouched down and poked Komugi in the side of the head with a small laugh as the man grunted out some obscenities. "This just means you need to suck it up and grow stronger, then use your strength to achieve your dreams. Even if that means coming after me again to prove you've grown if only to yourself. I'll beat you down as many times as you need. Now lets get you guys to the Hospital." straightening up he drew his hands together before stopping at a new voice enter the area, one that made his grin turn into a full blown smile.
"Ah Naruto-kun I see you've had an...eventful graduation party." said an old man as he stood at the entrance of the Academy, decked out in full Kage garb as he directed a medical team to the injured.
"Well you know me Ojīsan, I tend to draw a crowd heh." turning around Naruto walked towards the aged Sarutobi Hiruzen the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha while several medical ninja passed him to tend to his opponents.
With a soft chuckle the old man waved for a man behind him speaking amongst a group of medical ninja who had short brown hair under a small white cap, a white high collared long sleeve shirt that reached below his knees, black pants and black sandals to step forward. "Ugai-kun could you check Naruto-kun here's right arm? Then would you let me know the extent of the damage caused from this little party?"
"Huh?" Looking down at his right arm the blonde noticed the sleeve of his right arm was ripped slightly around the bicep area, "Ah it's ok Ojīsan I did that during the fight hah maybe I should get a bigger sized jacket?" His explanation stopping the medic nin in his tracks.
Glancing at the Hokage who nodded Ugai held up a clip board, "Hai Hokage-sama, preliminary reports show minor damage consisting of a few minor fractures, sprains, and broken noses among the academy students and non shinobi combatants." Flipping a few pages he hesitated before glancing towards the Hokage with slight disbelief evident on his face.
Nodding for him to continue with a small smile Sarutobi took out and lit his pipe with a practiced ease. "It's ok, continue. From your hesitance I assume the actual Shinobi amongst the group didn't fare as well?"
"That's correct Hokage-sama the six Gennin present under the tutelage of Namiashi Raidou and Mimura Hamaki suffered significantly more damage, and will all require a prolonged stay in the Hospital. Sukima-san suffered a serious concussion, and minor skull fracture. Housei-san has a severely broken right hand along with a concussion, and hairline fractures beneath his Hitai-ate. Jimei-san though sustained the most damage out of that team. He has a serious concussion like the rest, as well as a pulverized jaw, a badly dislocated left shoulder, along with a severely broken left arm." As he listed each injured ninja they were carried out on stretchers.
Then after taking a deep breath he glanced back at the board with a grimace. "Gennei-san seems to have the worst injuries...his testicles were ruptured by an extreme brute force trauma...it would appear Tenten-san may have taken some of the things he may have said rather...poorly." Everyone present cringed at this particular injury, everyone but Tenten who beamed at it as Team Gai had made it's way over to join the blonde by the Hokage to listen in.
With another deep breath Ugai continued, "Inaho-san suffered a perforated stomach, along with a slipped disk. Komugi-san is suffering from a fractured cheekbone, a shattered patella along with torn ligaments, a snapped humerus, and severe chakra exhaustion." Letting the clipboard fall to his side Ugai bowed and walked away at Sarutobi's nod.
"Well now as much as I'd like to stay and congratulate Naruto-kun on his graduation, I believe he has to get going to meet his Jounin Sensei." Taking a puff of his pipe the Sandaime chuckled as Naruto tore off past him waving over his shoulder as he rounded the corner. "Well then I must be going, I look forward to seeing you three progress even further." With that Sarutobi turned around and left Team Gai there as the rest of the injured were carted away.
Unable to hold back his excitement Lee jumped forward before turning back to his team and giving them the nice guy pose"YOSHA! Naruto-Taichō has advanced even further! I must find Gai-sensei and polish my Gouken even further as well! If I can't do that I'll do five hundred thumb push ups with Kame-san on my back! And if I can't do that..."
Tuning their teammate out Tenten turned to Neji with a knowing smile on her face, "So Neji-san what do you think of Naruto-kun now?" noticing his impassive look she turned not bothering to wait for a response and walking over to stop Lee's rant. "Come on Lee lets go, it's time for team training anyways."
Still deep in thought about what he had just witnessed Neji followed his team, "While his strength was unexpected, it's still his fate to hit the wall that separates the failures from the elites. The only hope for those unfortunate enough to share that fate is for their wall to be a little higher than the others." with a nod to himself he walked past his teammates who stopped to give him looks of anger and disappointment.
… AN: Ok so this is chapter two and I plan on a chapter three before posting these though if there is no chapter three then that means I got tired of waiting and posted the first two so rest assured there will be at least three chapters before my vacation ends and it's back to the grind.
Also last chapter some people mentioned that I forgot to put the definition in for certain Japanese words that I used. My bad I've read so much fanfiction I've become accustomed to certain words and it's somewhat natural to write them down and forget the definition. Also my bad haha I used a bogus translator before for one word I used the most haha.
Teichou was supposed to be Taichō which is Captain. Teichou means slow or sluggish, weakness etc...so the complete opposite of what this Naruto is haha Google Translate it is from now on haha.
Anyways hopefully I can get Chapter 3 done by the time my little mini vacation is done. Fingers crossed.
