Chapter 3
The devil Has risen.
Naruto was laying in bed, hardly moving, you wouldn't know that at this very moment he'd just finished learning about Ryoko and the fact that she was or is his ancestor, he'd learned that because of his human half he doesn't have to worry about powering his attacks with the gems.
He also learned the location of the ships egg his ancestor came in is and because of Ryoko's power he didn't have to worry about being crushed by the sea's pressure and retrieve the egg, hoping the little Cabbit inside the egg will except him because of Ryoko's powers, he'll worry about that when the time comes.
Soon after Naruto starts to twitch, his now yellow eyes start to open, slowly sitting up he turns over and puts his hands on the bed and stretches like a cat. (or in this case fox)
Once done stretching he gets up fully and looks in the full wardrobe that has a mirror attachment on it, seeing the difference and being told about them are two different things (we all know he resembles Goku in super saiyan god red, with Ryoko's hair style, ears and eye color, so we don't need to go into details about that)
Admiring himself of his changes, again Naruto feels he just can't help himself, with his foxy, playful grin, he chuckles a little and says to himself "Right, you are one handsome demon-fox!" and winks to himself in the mirror, shaking his head a bit Naruto says out loud, but not enough for the others to hear, "What am I saying, the village people back home would hang me if I said that."
Thinking some more while hovering in the air, with his arms behind his head and one leg over the other, Naruto shrugs it off and says "Ah what the hell, not my fault people see me as the fox back home."
He then sits up straight with a huff, crosses his legs and claps both hands on each knee, "Well if they try anything they'll deal with not only Konoha's Prankster King from Hell, but also Naruto The Devil Caller."
Naruto then starts chuckling to himself, which the turns into a full blown "evil" laugh. (think how Ryoko sometimes starts laughing)
After getting over his laughing fit, he stands up on the floor, finished with hovering, for the time being, and looks at himself again and noticed one thing.
"I'm gonna need a new wardrobe, not only now, but back home as well." He finishes with a sweat-drop.
Seeing as he was only in a pair of boxes, that fit just about right, hoping no-one at Tazuna's mind if he borrows some clothes, at lest until he gets some more from the Wave Village.
He pulls out a pair of civilian trousers, a white tank top and some sandals.
Think that they'll have to do for now, he sinks himself through the floor, nearly scaring everyone in the room half to death, there was Tazuna, looking at his Sake and back towards Naruto, Inari thought that ghosting thing was awesome, Kakashi was wide eyed, yet not knowing how to coup with one of his students somehow "ghosting" through walls and just want back to his book, Sakura looked like she couldn't get her head around it, it was like her brain was overheating like a computer, moving on while Sakura reboots, Sasuke is currently napping on a chair, he was still pretty warned out, even now so he missed it.
Tsunami just came into the living room from the kitchen so she missed Naruto's entrance, a good thing too, she would've used her frying pan to hit him over the head with for scaring her and saw Naruto standing in front of her with his back turned, "Oh Naruto, I see your up and about, I hope you're feeling hungry, because now that Gatou's gone the village is slowly getting better."
Naruto suddenly hears his stomach groan, though everyone heard it, it even woke Sasuke up, thinking it was a wild animal trying to get in.
With a red face, Naruto scratches the back of his head in embarrassment and simply nods, not wanting to sound embarrassed after that.
Tsunami just smiled, thinking even though he was older now, it was still cute to see him embarrassed and just want back to the kitchen to get the hero of wave some food.
While Tsunami does that, Naruto thought it would be a good time to explain his sudden growth-spurt and new powers, not like anyone can do anything about them, heck the good thing is his powers by rights are a bloodline so why not give some things away.
He explained all of his ancestral powers, while slowly floating in the air again with his arms behind his head and one leg over the other, not caring about the shocked looks from both Sakura and Sasuke, but awed looks from Tazuna and Inari, though Inari was more vocal by exclaiming excitably "Naruto-nii-chan is so cool!"
Getting a slight chuckle from Naruto with his fox saying with pride and amusement "And don't you forget it!"
Which pretty much tells everyone that no matter what, even though Naruto has this Ryoko woman's powers and some of her personality, Naruto will still be Naruto.
Naruto suddenly thought of something and says to everyone "Oh yeah, after I've eaten, I've got to go somewhere real quick, I should be back in a day or two."
As soon as he said that Tsunami came back in with some food, "Hear you go Naruto , I'd imagine you'd be pretty hungry, since you slept for 3 days."
A little shocked, but not at all surprise that he slept that long, there was a lot of "studying" going on in his head, about Ryoko and her daughter, but nothing between Ryoko's daughter and Naruto, since no-one in that time awakened Ryoko's power, the only reason he got Ryoko's daughter's knowledge is because she was Ryoko's actual daughter.
But anyway after he scarfed down the food, (he was glad he still has taste from his human side, he would have been gutted if he couldn't teste his beloved Ramen anymore) he want out side and waved to everyone "I'll be back shortly, hopefully it won't take too long."
Before Kakashi could stop and ask Naruto where he was going, Naruto was up flying in the air then the next second he flickered out of sight.
Sighing to himself, Kakashi decided to get his other two students down to some light training, no need to go all out with heavy training, still being in enemy territory, even with Gatou gone, but with one student gone to who knows where and with the strength, powerand skills Kakashi saw on the bridge, he knows Naruto can take care of himself now.
With Naruto
Flying high in the clouds was so much fun, he just couldn't help but whoop and holler in the air, as well as laugh his heart out, he was up high so he didn't have to worry about bandits or enemy ninja, not that he cared, he was stronger than anyone on this planet now, with in reason of course, I mean there was still Ryoko, Ayeka and everyone else from earth and last he remembered, from Ryoko's daughter, everyone moved to Jurai, still doing there own routine.
He has no doubt everyone was and still is worried about Ryoko's Daughter, but if he ever meets them, at lest he'd hopefully get the chance to tell them what happened to Ryoko's daughter and that at lest she lived a good life with the man she fell in love with.
Shaking his head of those thoughts and again thinking "I'll cross the bridge when it comes, boy, I'd cross loads of bridges when this is over (chuckle)."
Suddenly he felt something, stopping in mid-air, he looks down and says, with a smirk "This is it."
He flickers down to level ground, he touched down on the sandy beach and looks out to sea, looking in the direction of the feeling that's coming a little stronger, he could feel it, like a pulse.
Something suddenly says quietly in his mind "Come find me, nya. I want to meet you, nya."
He flickers forward and stands over the ocean, not even causing ripples on the waters waving surface.
Looking down left and right for a bit, Naruto phases through the water, still not disturbing the waves of the sea.
Still going down, Naruto was getting a little bored, so he flickered while still phasing down to the bottom of the sea.
Reaching the bottom, he found the wreckage of Ryoko's daughter's ship, looking around for a few minuets he finally found something round and dark purple.
"Ah ha, there you are after all this time." Not caring about the water or pressure around him, looking at the little dark purple orb, feeling sorry for the little thing, Naruto rubes it against his cheek and says to it with a loving caring smile, "From now on, you and I won't be so alone anymore, little sister." He finishes with a happy smile and a little tear that was washed away by the sea.
Not expecting a reply, to Naruto's shock, he hears in his head "Yes, I'm so happy, big Brother."
Naruto looks down with wide eyes, but it soon passes, he just smiles happily to finally have a family member, in a way, to bring home.
Hugging his new little sister, that hasn't been "born" yet, to his chest, he could feel the warmth, even in the deep, cold, dark recesses of the sea.
Realizing he was still under the ocean, he thought to himself with a sweatdrop, "Wow, I so caught up in "reuniting" with my long lost, finally found, sister, that I forgot where I, well we, were."
Deciding to move along before some idiot shark think it could have him for lunch, not that he couldn't handle it, but it would be, as his lazy friend, Shikamaru would say, troublesome, especially with little sister on the line. (no pun intended)
So flickering up before he jinxed it, he was in the air in a matter of minuets.
Taking a deep breath of air, even though he could survive in the deep recesses of space and the sea he still enjoys it.
Looking down he says to the egg "Soon we'll be with my team and sensei and then you'll hatch and I'll introduce you to them. (chuckle)"
Flying off, high in to the sky, so no-one can see him again, with his sister, the Ryoko and Washu side of him starts coming up with a little prank for everyone and no doubt Sakura will fall for it.
After his "study" he realizes that Sakura was more of a sister than girlfriend material, so why not tease her a little, it's not like she stronger than him especially now, with Ryoko's blood coursing through his vains and seeing in his memories, or more precise Ryoko's memory, Sakura resembles Ayeka a lot, especially her anger of "I'm right and you should do the right thing too" attitude, of course after giving birth to Tenchi's son Ayeka mellowed out a bit, but Ryoko and her still argued from time to time, just because it's their thing, like sisters.
Realizing that during his little trip down memory lane, he saw that he was close to the still, nearly finished bridge of Wave, he figures, "May as well not scare the locals, they'll end up thing they're being invaded by flying people. (chuckle)"
He flickers just outside Tazuna's house, opens the door and noticed that only Tsunami was in the house in the kitchen, calling to Tsunami, "I'm back!" Just loud enough for her to hear, as she calls out, happily "Welcome back, Naruto, I hope you got what you went for."
Sitting on the couch, to relax a little, looks over towards where Tsunami was and calls out "Yeah I got it, where is everyone?"
Tsunami calls out a reply, "Well, my dad is at the bridge with Zabuza-san and Haku-san, since they are no longer under Gatou's contract anymore and decided to help out a little as an apology for the trouble and mess they made." She was just coming out of the kitchen and sat down to relax from the cleaning.
Seeing Tsunami sitting down with as sigh, she continues "Inari-chan, is finally out playing with his friends after so long of being sad, I'm very thankful for that by the way." While smiling like a happy mother would for her child, Naruto just rubs the back of his head in embarrassment, still not use to positive PR, with Tsunami giggling at his cute embarrassment.
She carried on with his team, " and Kakashi-san took Sakura-san and Sasuke-San out for some light training, I'm sorry you couldn't join them though, since I know you enjoy training since you push yourself hard, both you and Sasuke-san."
Naruto looks to Tsunami and replies with a smile and lazy wave, "It's fine, after my transformation with my bloodline awakening, I doubt any of them can handle me, I think the only person who could, would probably be Ryoko and her mother Washu."
Tsunami looks interested at that, not hearing about Naruto explaining it to his team, Tazuna and Inari, "Oh who are those two?"
Thinking about it Naruto replies, lazily "Some distant relatives from my mothers side of the family, that I've only just found out about and they live very far away." Leaving it at that, Tsunami knew there was more, but because of Kakashi explaining about Naruto being an orphan and a bit of his upbringing she left it alone and just relaxed.
A few minuets later, Inari came running in happy as a boy his age should be, seeing his big brother Naruto has returned he was about to greet him, just as his team came back in the house too.
Seeing Naruto sitting down with something in his lap, while he rubs it, they greeted him back in their own way, Sasuke just huffed and moved on, Sakura being curious about want Naruto was holding, but kept it to herself, Kakashi just greets him with as casual, lazy wave and welcome back, while still reading his book.
Inari, seeing what was on Naruto's lap asked the question that only a kid would "Hey Naruto nii-chan, what's that you've got?" in curious wonder.
Naruto, taking a page out of Ryoko's book, replies with a smile, "I got it today, isn't it adorable and it should hatch any minuet now."
Inari, being an innocent child, replies excitably "What, is it yours Naruto?"
Sakura, thinking that because of Naruto's awakening alien bloodline, pretty much fell for it, "I wouldn't be at all surprised, since it might be apart of his alien bloodline, we don't know."
Seeing Sakura falling for it hook, line and sinker, though Kakashi saw the look in Naruto's eye, but let things play on.
Sasuke just tried to ignore them but even was a little curious.
Sakura turned her head to see what Sasuke was doing for a bit, seeing as he was just sitting, she looked back and saw Inari rubbing the egg excitably, like a child would, Sakura, being a worried bookworm, quickly tries to get Inari to give the egg back to Naruto, worried about alien germs or something, but Inari ignores her, saying that Naruto's baby is about to be born and that's really something he wanted to see.
Inari wondering some more, "Say Naruto nii-chan, who's the mother?"
Thinking on the perfect prank tool, Naruto leans over and whispers something in Inari's ear, knowing hell shout it out in shock.
Looking wide eyed, Inari exclaims "A GIRL CALLED INO?!"
Everyone looked shocked at that, except Kakashi, having guessed Naruto was pulling something, especially Sakura, since Ino was her best friend, turned rival for Sasuke's affection, but she would never thought Ino would go with Naruto of all people.
Naruto picked the egg back up with both hands holding it like a baby, he passed it to Sakura, who was still in shock and Naruto just says to her "It won't be long now."
Finally coming out of her shock, Sakura looks down in her hands as the egg begins to shake, thinking repeatedly to herself with worry "This can't be Ino's child,This can't be Ino's child, This can't be Ino's child!"
While Naruto was out of Sakura's sight trying to hold in his laughter, Sasuke seeing Naruto's breaking face, realizes Naruto was pulling a prank on Sakura, thinking to himself he could give the game away, but then Sakura has been a pain in the ass about wanting a date with him, so he kept quite.
Then came cracks and a hiss of steam from the egg, Sakura looking as white as a ghost and just as scared facing one, then out popped a little brown furry leg, that was not humanoid in any form, so shocked she screamed and threw the egg in the air above her, right where Naruto was to catch it, knowing the out come would be like this.
Inari gasps at the little leg, then started laughing a little at the show.
A little brown adorable creature pop her head out and meowed cutely with her eyes closed, with Naruto picking her up out of her shell, gushing out an awe, "my little sister, Mimi."
Kakashi, recognizing the name from the story of Naruto's ancestor's ship, replies "Mimi, as in the name of your ancestor's ship that crash landed here?"
Naruto just floats in the air, with the little Cabbit cradled on his stomach and out of Sakura's reach, knowing what will happen when he explains.
"My ancestor's ship was totally destroyed, so it reproduced itself, but because my ancestor's blood on Ryoko's side was locked so no-one could get to Mimi's egg, until me, that is."
Inari exclaims in wonder, "Can a ship really reproduce itself, Naruto nii-chan?"
Naruto mealy replies, still up in the air, not giving Sakura a chance for a punch, "Well, since Mimi-chan here was my ancestor's ship, the only others are her sister ships, Ryo-oki-chan and Fuku-chan and only they can reproduce, just like Mimi-chan here." He finishes holding the little Cabbit, gently rubbing her against his cheek.
Naruto then started to laugh in the air, still holding Mimi safely in his hands an exclaims to his team, since they know who Ino was, "You guys couldn't possible thought that Mimi here was mine and Ino's right." He already knew the answer, but he can see that Sasuke was in on it, but Kakashi, not sure, he could be waiting for the fur to fly, Tazuna was like Sasuke, he saw the signs, but kept quiet about it, it was all in good fun after all.
Inari, now feeling a little let down about it not being Naruto's baby, since he could have been a big brother to it and replied, "Yeah, I thought the egg was off and a long shot."
Sakura, feeling the fool, wanted to clobber Naruto for his prank on her, but because he was in the air out of reach and in her anger she forgot the Wall climbing technique and left upset.
Naruto still caring about Sakura, like a sister, turned to Sasuke and asks "Think you can go and make her feel better and apologize for me."
Sasuke in a huff asks "Why should I dobe, it was your prank, you should go and say your sorry for taking it too far."
Answering back with a counter "And that is exactly why I'm asking you to do it for me, after what happened here, I don't think Sakura wants to see me right now, so please, make her feel better and tell her I'm sorry for taking it to far."
Hearing Naruto's counter, Sasuke couldn't help but to agree with Naruto's logic, for once after such a prank like that Naruto would definitely need to give Sakura some space and as Shikamaru would probably say a crying girl who just so happens to be a teammate is troublesome.
So with a sigh, Sasuke got up a left to find Sakura.
