Chapter 35: The three-year trip- Year 2 Part 1
< Year 2 >
Naruto, during the year, has trained in all the weapons he could make. He even created unique weapons he could create and learned how to use them. He also used his {Sun Fire} as much as he could to increase his power.
Now Year 2, he finally unlocked the 5th gate of the { Eight Inner Gate}. The fifth gate is called the Gate of Limit, further increasing his strength. He can now put a massive hole in a mountain if he wants to. However, Naruto knows that passively increasing power is less compared to active {Eight Inner Gate}.
He also trained the "absorb" property of the chains and could finally absorb genetic material and fuse it.
Now he is making his way to one of the Orochimaru prisoner bases. He came to collect two specific individuals. One, he will be absorbed, and the other one might join him on the journey.
First, one is Shin; later, he will be Shin Uchiha, imitating Itachi. He has a specific genetic makeup, which makes any foreign tissues apply to him without rejection. Naruto wondered many times on his way why didn't Orochimaru didn't take Shin's body? Why was he so interested in Uchiha. Shin has many Shirangans implanted in his body, so Orochimaru doesn't need Itachi or Sasuke.
Naruto was not talking about the child Shin Uchiha in Boruto. No, he is talking about the original one, which Orochimaru cloned in the 100s. Even Danzo's arm is from OG Shin.
After sneaking inside, he found many big test tubes. However, the one he is interested in is the test tubes that labeled Shin and the genetic description. Naruto doesn't know the age of OG Shin. He guessed that he should be around the same age as himself.
There were many different body parts, such as legs, arms, and even saw two hearts. Naruto thought that Orochimaru experimented on Shin, who was still a child and was able to clone parts. However, from its looks, it wasn't perfected yet since he sees they are disfigured.
Naruto then grabbed everything with the label shin on it. He tried to find Shin, but it looked like he was not there, so Naruto didn't care. But he did see Jugo, who is a little older than himself.
He made his way to the Jugo's cell, and then he went inside by becoming intangible. After making his way inside, he saw a Jugo who was curled up on the floor
Naruto then decided to grab him and teleport him to {Kamui}. Jugo felt something touch him and noticed that his mind was clear. He opened his eyes and saw that he was in a completely different place and there was a person in front of him.
Naruto saw Jugo looking at him and said, " You don't need to worry about hurting me or going bloodthirsty. You are not strong enough, and you should have noticed that your mind is a lot clear."
Jugo thought about what Naruto said and agreed. He was born with the ability to passive absorb Nature Chakra inside himself, and sometimes he goes crazy with too much Nature Chakra in his body. However, since his mind is clear, he can sense Naruto's Chakra using his Nature sense.
What he felt was so much Chakra that he vomited. Then he looked at Naruto with fear since he had never seen a human have this much power before.
Naruto already knew what Jugo was going through from sensing his emotions and facial expressions. Naruto then saw fear on Jugo's face. He then bent down and gave a napkin to Jugo and said
" Here, wipe your mouth. From what I guessed, you sensed my Chakra, didn't you? I am not here to hurt you. On the contrary, I am here to give you an offer."
Jugo controlled his emotions and said, " So..rry, My name is Jugo. Please tell me your offer persons-san."
Naruto chuckled and said, " My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I was traveling, and I sensed a large amount of Nature Chakra going to one place. So I followed it and saw a hideout/prison. I was intrigued, so I decided to check who or what was responsible. Then I saw that you passively absorbed lot of Nature chakra, and It's impossible to absorb Nature chakra like you without a tool or training unless you have Kekkei Genkai."
Jugo nodded and said, " My clan has Kekkei Genkai who passively absorb Nature Chakra, but I am the only one who awakened it and went crazy. So I hid and later was found by a person who experimented on me to create a seal that does the same thing as my Kekkei Genkai. I don't exactly know the progress of the seal/mark."
Naruto nodded and said, " Well, here is my offer. If you see your right hand, there is a gold wristband. I put it there to absorb any Nature Chakra you absorb. So it won't make you crazy and you will be able to control Nature Chakra with some training. So my offer was your work for me, and I will take you out of prison and train you so you won't go crazy."
Jogo nodded and asked, " If I deny?"
Naruto stared at Jugo and said, " I will put you back in prison and remove the wristband. I will also remove your memories of this encounter."
Naruto thought, ' sike... if you disagree, I will absorb you.'
Jugo, who had never felt this good, got scared and unconsciously covered the golden wristband with his hands. Then, Jugo thought of the pros and cons of following Naruto and finally said, " I will follow you, Naruto-sama."
Naruto nodded and said, " I will leave my clone here, and he will explain things. I will pick you up in a week, don't worry, I can teleport, and this is my dimension." Naruto left, leaving a wood clone.
Naruto was not worried since he added his own Chakra with gold strands when he put the seal band on Jugo.
Naruto then teleported into his dimensional house and sat on the ground. He took out a big test tube with Shin's body part and decided to absorb it into himself. Naruto then summoned his chains then started absorbing the blood in the part of the body.
Naruto saw blood-red color traveling from the chains into his body. Then he felt excruciating pain. Naruto summoned another {wood clone} with shaky hands to take care of him and finally passed out.
Naruto woke up, and he saw a wooden clone next to him, guarding him. Naruto then asked how much time did he sleep. The Clone replied three days. Naruto was shocked that he had slept for three days. He then took soldier pills from the inventory and ate 2 of them.
After regaining his energy, he stood up and twisted his body. Finally, after some light exercise, he felt his body back to normal. So he checked his status.
{Adaption: Your body will adapt to any foreign tissues. Your body can slowly adapt to the environment and evolve under the circumstance.
Be careful after adapting to new foreign cells. Your body will need time to adjust, so highly advised to wait before applying any new foreign cells again.}
Naruto was excited after reading the description. He can now get as many bloodlines as he can get. He then looked in the mirror to look at any changes.
What he saw was a flawless face. His facial bones were arranged in symmetrical order, and his hair seemed silkier and more straight rather than spiky. In addition, his eye iris almost gained full golden color. Naruto knows when it turns completely golden, his Rinnigan will awaken. He could feel something powerful within himself that would awaken soon. Finally, his body got bulkier rather than looking slim, and his body had a perfect amount of muscle everywhere.
After finishing admiring himself, he decided to maintain long hair. Currently, his hair is long as his chin and straighter. He was sure he become more handsome, like those Chinese cultivator types. He just hypothesized that his body adapted to the perfect state it could be.
Naruto then took out a golden coin from the inventory. This coin sealed the blood of Yakumo Kurama. Afterward, he went to the bathroom and dropped the coin in the wooden tub. The coin then turned into a pool of blood which almost filled the tub. Naruto collected her blood whenever he treated her and healed her later.
Naruto then sat down and summoned his chains, and started absorbing the blood. Finally, Naruto felt his Genjutsu could finally affect reality. Naruto doesn't have to worry about developing a second evil personality since he has {Gamer Mind}. After absorbing all the blood took a bath and went outside to practice.
Naruto then practiced for two days and decided to take Jugo.
After training the Kuruma clan's bloodline, Naruto and Jugo traveled all around the Land of Rice. Jugo became a loyal subordinate while they were traveling. Naruto knows that his gold strands have a different effect on different people. From what he observed, Kuruma became like Dobby from harry potter. Kushina becomes an obsessed mother. Kisame treats Naruto as his boss, and Naruto doesn't know Itachi. Finally, Jugo shows his personality by treating Naruto as a messiah.
Naruto decided that he wanted to go back to Fire Country to learn a Jutsu that Hashirama got the inspiration from, and it became one of the most powerful Jutsu that defeated Madara. The Original Jutsu is called { Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder} and the one Hashirama used is called { Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands}
{ Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder} used by Chiriku, who was a former member of the Twelve Guardian Ninja and currently a ninja monk at the Fire temple. The Zombie brothers from the Akatsuki later killed him. The Justus is very powerful, and Naruto wanted to learn it since it can be used without Sage mode. He just has to learn a special kind of Chakra to learn the Jutsu.
After coming to the temple with Jugo, he waited for days for Chiriku to be alone. Finally, after finding a good opportunity, Naruto read his memories, which contained the Jutsu and how to train it.
Naruto could make Chiriku a loyal follower, but he thought he needed to die with Asuma to make Shikamaru serious. Naruto considers Shikamaru one of his best friends, but Naruto is more loyal to his goals. So Naruto decided to use Asuma's death to make Shikamuru join his root for revenge and power.
Learning this Jutsu took a lot of time, but he could finally perform the Jutsu at the end of the year.
Then he started to travel to Mist Village. While traveling, he has heard that Sasuke Uchiha is now considered now a missing-nin. But, unlike in the cannon, Tusande didn't wait until the end when Sasuke hunted Bee to put a bounty. As sad as it sounds, Sasuke doesn't have any friends.
One of the secret clones who is guarding Tsunade.
< Flash back >
Tsunade was sitting in the office signing some documents while Shizune was putting everything in order. She became a Hokage after Naruto left. She was sad that he couldn't see her when she became a Hokage, but she did receive a present at home.
Naruto sent a present which included a very expensive Sake and a golden coin, and a box. Tsunade knew what that golden coin was. So after sitting down, she absorbed it. She felt a fantastic feeling coursing through her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw a small tiny sport in front of her. She tried touching the sport, and after she touched she felt a connection. She then tried moving it; she could finally move it after some time.
Tsunade finally knew what that gift was. It was {Wood Style}, she has gained the power of {Wood Style}. When she was a child, she always wanted wood style, but sadly she couldn't get it. Now Naruto fulfilled her childhood dream, which brought tears to her eyes.
If Naruto was here, he would have gotten a hot, searing kiss from Tsunade. Sadly he missed it.
With a crying face, Tsunade thought, 'Thank you, Naruto-kun. I will treasure you. Please come back soon.'
Since then, her fire reignited, and she started training again; when Naruto came back, she wanted to surprise him. She also got rid of the power which the civilian council had.
Naruto also sent a crystal ball with a note; the note says:
"I didn't like how we were being attacked so many times. So I have added seals all around Konoha until a few kilometers away from the village. So you can sense/see everything around the Konoha with the ball. It also shows people who have negative emotions or if they have bad intentions toward Konoha by recording and analyzing their past emotions throughout their stay in Konoha.
After that, Tsunade called for a Jonin meeting. Then, after a week, finally, she passed an order that all Konoha Jonin would be present or they would be considered a traitor.
.
------------ > At the meeting
Almost all jonin were present in the Jonin meeting. Tsunade, who was in her office room, recorded if there were spies or people with bad intentions in there. After recording their names, she gave them to many Anbu, who was already checked with the crystal ball.
There were dozens of Anbu bowing in front of her. She said, " Here are the names and pictures of the individuals. You will be slightly capturing them in the meeting. I don't want anyone to escape." Anbu nodded and disappeared.
After that, Tsunade got up and arrived in the meeting hall. After she arrived, she sat down at the Hokage seat and said, " Hello everyone, the meeting will start now."
In the meeting, there were Jonin, and above the rank, even the Clan heads were presented.
Everyone bowed their heads and greeted the Hokage. Then, Tsunade looked at everyone and said, " Today, this will be about traitors and spies." Right after she said this, many Anbu came from the shadows and arrested many people.
Everyone was confused why they were seeing this many Anbu. Some people have never seen these many Anbu in their life, and this scene scared them.
The abducted people questioned, yelled, and some even cried or played innocent.
After the chaos is finished and the traitors subdued, Tsunade says, " take them to the Interrogation & Torture Department. They are all traitors, and make sure to investigate them. If they are guilty, they will be punished harshly."
Tsunade then explained that Naruto had created a new seal that tells when someone has bad intentions toward Konoha. Tsunade didn't explain more since she thought the less enemy knew, the better.
She then explained some new policies that Naruto wrote in a book he gave before leaving. Like a good wife, Tsunade said Naruto was on a secret mission, and he was the one who gave many of these ideas.
At the end of the meeting, she informed, " Sasuke Uchiha is now considered a traitor to the village. His bounty will be put, and if any Konoha finds him, you need to bring him back alive as possible if not, kill him, puck his eyes and burn the body so no other village would get it. The team who were sent returned and said that he was siding with Orochimaru."
Tsunade explained, " The mission went like this...…
