The last word was said out loud and only training and instinct had all three-plus the older man-doing what he said as something huge whistled over their heads, thunking into an tree opposite, followed by the flash of an figure.
When they looked up they saw an tall muscular man with bandages over his face where Kakashi had an mask standing on the handle, his back to them.
"Well, well" Kakashi strode forward, "If it isn't Zabuza Momochi, rogue ninja from the village hidden in the mist."
He looked back at the three pre-teens "he's not like those other ninja, he's in an whole other league." Then, in his mind he spoke while his left hand rose to grasp the hitate "If HE'S our opponent, I'll need THIS. This could be treterous."
Slowly the head turned towards them and the figure spoke "Kakashi of the Sharingan eye, did I get that right? It's too bad, huh, but you'll have to hand over the old man."
"Mungi formation" Kakashi said to them "protect the bridge builder and stay out of this fight." The hitate came up fully to reveal an Sharingan eyes in the three tomoe stage.
Sasuke quelled his sudden surge of jealousy, he still had only one and because Kakashi wasn't born with it chances were he'd never get the side-affects. But then he remembered how Naruto had said it would repress the true strength of his chakra and his jealousy dissolved.
Kakashi may have his more mature than his, but he was older and he would never reach his full true potential because of it.
Naruto-who had dropped the rabbit when he dropped to the ground- nodded to him, motioned their female teammate back to Tazuma's side and drew their weapons, stepping to their sensei's side.
"What are you both doing?! I told you to stay back!"
"We are a team, sensei" Naruto said firmly "and as a team we don't let another fight alone against potential life threats."
"We stand by their side and defend them to the death, if need be" Sasuke added this just as firmly.
"So," the rogue nin started, eyes slowly looking at Sakura "an girl with the strength of Hidden Leaf's Senju Princess" back down to the two boys "an Uchiha with a sword aflame." Then his eyes set on Naruto, eyes white and his glowing blade, the tails behind him moving like a cat stalking it's prey "and a boy with the ears and tails of a fox, as well as-wings? I thought they were crazy when they told me, but here you are. Tell me boy, how old are you?"
"Oh around 120,000 years old" NarutoRaziel said playfully "give or take a few hundred, but don't quote me on that, I'll totally deny I'm past 110,000."
The group looked at him open mouthed however the man snorted in disbelief "as if, boy. You are no more than thirteen."
"If you wish to believe that, then go ahead" the grin was secretive and cheeky, revealing sharp teeth but top and bottom fanged rear incisors.
"Kid you have fox ears and nine tails and you are at least thirteen. We all know what happened to The Village Hidden In The Leaves twelve years ago. THEY claimed they destroyed the thing, but we all know the thing is too damned powerful to just be killed. Now here YOU are. Tell me kid, are you an Jinchuriki of the nine tails or not?"
Naruto's grin widened "I USED to be. Now I'm something.....more."
"More?" the rogue nin frowned, "you have wings, why?"
"No damned idea" Naruto grinned and shrugged "Heritage? Bloodline? Evolution? All three? All I know is they function and more than that...." the two limbs spread, the bat one moving slightly sideways so with a flash of movement the talonfinger on the top struck an nearby tree, effortlessly smashing the wood into a shower of pieces. "As do the others." An tail stretched out, circling and picking up an larger piece and throwing it into the air.
The Soul Reaver glowed red and when the piece landed not only was it cut in half cleanly, but also flames covered it.
The rogue nin was impressed "aren't you a little weapon for Hidden Leaf. Tell me kid, where'd you get that sword, it's......interesting."
"Isn't it though" Naruto grinned at him "It's called The Soul Reaver and it's modeled after another ancient blade lost centuries ago."
"Really" the nin raised an non exsistant eyebrow at him "and where IS this ancient sword now?"
"Destroyed" Naruto grinned wider "I did it. However The Soul Reaver was an sentient blade, so now that spirit resides inside it's replacement" he waved the sword which hummed as it moved "and I'm sure you've heard of the recent release of superior weapons coming out of Kohona in the last six or seven years."
"Of course" the rogue nin answered "weapons that turn on anyone but their master. Even the nin with the strongest chakra can't claim them."
Naruto snorted "you can't CLAIM them, you can't just overpower them with your chakra and win them like that. RANK weapons are synched to their owner's SOUL, no living being has the same soul, no twin, no mother or father and certainly no enemy. The only one who can touch an RANK weapon other than their owner is the one who created it."
"And who is that?"
Kakashi opened his mouth to warn Naruto (or was that Raziel, he had his white eyes) not to give the enemy such vital information-even if it was HIS information to give-but the winged boy just gave the enemy nin an shit-eating 'that's for me to know, and you find out' grin and didn't answer.
However he seemed to suddenly remember something and go through his pockets muttering "where did Naru put it, AH here it is!" and withdrew an storage scroll. He checked it with "yes, right one" then threw it to Kakashi "we meant to give you this before we left, but, well, distractions. You might find it useful, especially here and now."
Opening the scroll Kakashi reached in to find his fingers closing around the hilt of something. By the feel of the weight and balance, it was a sword, but a light one, probably a katana.
As if against his will his hand closed fully around the hilt, gripping firmly. The instant he did he felt it.
Just after finding out about Naruto being the source of the RANK weapons, Kakashi came across an fellow ANBU with one, an intricately carved Nagamaki . Curious he asked about it, knowing this one was one of the few trusted with the real creators identity.
"It's amazing, Kaka" the man beamed, startling him because he hadn't smiled in as long as he had known him "honesty I don't know what I ever did without it, that kid may no longer be human, but if he can do THIS for me and my fellow ANBU then I'll protect him with my life."
For an ANBU-sworn to obey and protect the Hokage first and village second-to swear to personally protect someone other....
"You don't get it, Kaka" the man said "next to you, Lady Senju and Toad Sanin and especially Kain-san, that kid is this villages greatest asset. Imagine how powerful our next generation of Shinobi will be if each has one of these weapons made just for them even before reaching the Academy. Can you imagine the skill and protection growing up. And that not all. Do you realize how many of your fellow ANBU, not to mention Hunter-nin, clan members and Jounin's lives have been saved by these things? People who previously would have died or been killed? It's like they not only protect us but give us the strength to carry on-it's hard to explain unless you experience it yourself" as he hugged the weapon close.
Now, as his hand gripped the hilt and slowly started to pull, he understood his friends feelings. First was an intense feeling of belonging, to and from the weapon. HE belonged to it-just as IT belonged to him.
Second was it was part of him, an extension of his body-like another limb or part of his arm. All his senses sharpened, as if in preparation of the coming fight, the sword FEELING like his arm was extending outwards further.
Third was it completed him. That part of him that had always seemed to be missing since his first kill, the part of him he thought lost by loosing his teammates and sensei, was reawakened and he was shocked to find his....well innocence was the only way to describe it....was restored too. He knew he had to kill and had no problem about that, but at the same time he felt, well, childish as well.
It was hard to describe.
He had the sense that while he bore this weapon he was well protected. It would be his weapon, his arm.
Lastly he felt something burn inside of him, his chakra. His chakra recognized the weapon as if it had wielded it before at a time long before he remembered.
Was that possible? Could the RANK weapons be Naruto remaking and matching ancient weapons to reincarnated souls just as he had his adopted father?
Even Naruto had admitted that he didn't know HALF of what he could do or had 'inherited'.
Having two ancient spirits trapped inside you and even merging with you, one of who had 'eaten' souls even more ancient then himself had GOT to have some weird affects on you.
His chakra BURNED at him, demanding he draw the katana NOW and he had the feeling something important was about to happen, that unless he drew the weapon fully he wouldn't be complete.
So slowly he drew his hand back towards himself, removing the 'gift' from his student from the scroll.
The first he saw was the pommel, gold. Next the grip where he held it. It was wrapped in white leather strips, the edges sown by silverwhite that at first looked like thread but then Kakashi recognized it.
His own hair, how the hell had......!
Next was the guard, also gold but done in an intricate pattern of waves. Tied to it was an bright orange cloth which he immediately recognized as the color of the cover of his most cherished book series.
But the most amazing feature was shown when the blade began to be revealed.
In the center of the blade, running down the line of the middle was an intricately detailed engraving. An huge wolf watching over an cub asleep between it's front paws and instinctively Kakashi KNEW it represented his father and himself, his father watching over him. It was him asleep-representing his 'sleeping' bloodline-his father watching over him and for just a minute he wanted to ask the boy if he had seen his fathers spirit as well.
That was until he saw the opposite side and an different engraving altogether. This time the wolf cub sat, proud and strong, among a pack of dogs. Not just any dogs, HIS dogs, he could actually pick out ones like Pukkun and Bull among them.
Kakashi cursed Obito's eye for the crybaby he was as it misted over. This was the first time in his life someone had given him such an gift. Sure he had inherited his fathers sword and been given other items during his time but no one had ever given him such an expensive and personal item before, something created solely for him and him alone.
It was a gift he would never be able to thank the boy fully for, something he would treasure for his life and use happily. He glanced sideways at the boy "How did you....."
"One of you're ancestors helped create it. They are worried about the fact you can't access you bloodline, so helped create THIS to allow you to fully access and control your unique chakra. Can you feel it?"
He nodded, "I feel it burn inside me stronger than ever before, how did...."
"Your father."
His eyes widened "my FATHER?!"
The boy nodded "he's in the Spectral Realm, waiting for you. He says he'll be there to guide you over when your time comes. However that is not for a long time yet, so don't be in such a hurry." When he opened his mouth to ask if he actually SAW or SPOKE to him, the boy quickly said "your ancestor said so."
Meaning no, so he shut his mouth.
“What’s it’s name?” he asked softly in awe.
“Shiroi Kiba” Naruto said softly “your ancestor said your father named it.”
“White Fang" Kakashi blinked at him “it was my fathers name" He’d been trying to get out from under his father’s shadow all his life......Naruto blinked slowly at him “I was thinking more like White for your chakra and Fang for your connection to Pakkun and the others.”
Kakashi blinked back, he liked this better.
Once the sword was fully removed, the scabbard followed, the intricately carved blade glowing with an powerful white light, making Kakashi feel as if he had fully awoken when all his life previous had been some sort of half-awake and half-dream.
The chakra inside him twisted and turned, as if sentient and sensing the fight to come, demanding use, calling for battle.
And to his surprise he could sense the two boy's chakra as well, reacting to his as if answering the call with their own.
Sasuke's was red, yellow, orange and even bits of blue through it, feeling exactly like the flame all Uchiha shared as their clan power, especially around his eyes. However Kakashi could also sense the mark he wore, constantly shifting and turning with nine different chakra signatures, only two of them recognizable, one because he had came face-to-face with it in it's entirety twelve years ago and the other because it stood right next to the boy.
On top of that the mark glowed with flame, as if the glyph was constantly feeding off and feeding back the boy's element.
Naruto was interesting to say the least.
His was the cool blue of wind, gentle yet ready to whip into an tornado of energy at any minute, but in certain parts he could sense the blue wind merging with the red of fire, especially around the lower stomach area and heart. Along with the blue and red was an green so pale it was almost clear, silent and freezing, not like ice or such but made Kakashi think of the cold wind you felt only in an graveyard. The red and green seemed to be fading into the blue in areas, merging with it, but currently the majority was free and all three seemed to equally inhabit the boy's body and chakra coils.
The boy's chakra coils seemed larger than humanly possible, allowing all three to inhabit the boy's body at once, flowing together and merging in spots but mostly the three just flowing through identical areas at the same time uninhibited.
However in those areas where all three merged it was actually white!
The boy's mark was the back of his neck, just where the base of the skull met the spine, and virtually glowed, shifting with energy. Even though the energy was identical to the Uchiha's, his was more powerful and instead of flame his seemed to feed and feed off the green in his chakra.
This must have been his 'shift' glyph, using his shift ability to fuel itself and in return feeding it back, like the Uchihas' used his flame element. It seemed to Kakashi to be an constant cycle, feeding from and feeding in return, it explained what happened when both used it. While Naruto had his green chakra to feed it when used and his brothers spirit inside to replace any use, Sasuke had only his own chakra. Once his own chakra was exhausted, there was nothing left but HIS SOUL to feed it. And the longer there was no flame to feed the fire, the glyph would-like an fire out of control-eat everything in order to feed itself.
Naruto's chakra seemed to cool it however, every time the mark seemed to flare up, the cool blue wind flared from it and brought it under control, like using an whirlwind to contain an campfire.
Kain-san was right when he said Naruto's mark and glyph was controlling the others, and it was either doing it instinctively or one of Naruto's 'tenants' was controlling it all with access to the boy's own chakra.
If this was so there was nothing to worry about quiet yet. Unless someone learned of the marks, was able to examine them thoroughly without setting off the defense, worked out an way to damage or mutate them and do so all without them knowing about or stopping it... There was an extremely slim chance of that, even the snake-sanin and lady Tsunade had little chance of actually doing so.
He looked back at the winged and tailed boy "Do you still sense the second enemy? What is his or her position? What can you tell me about it?"
"Male, young-a few years older then us. He's only observing for now. I think he's back up for Zabuza and would only interfere should it mean the difference between his death as opposed to winning. He's probably an student like us. I feel cold all around him, most likely an ice user. According to the bingo book Zabuza's been seen with an boy with an gekaki kenki of ice. Not much is known about him, not many survive encounters with them. He shouldn't posse a problem unless you seem to be about to kill his master. I....." Kakashi felt some sort of tickle in both their heads and immediately the boy looked distracted for a second again before visibly forcing his attention back to it with "sorry sensei."
"What is going on with you, Naruto?"
"I don't know" he admitted, then said in an determined voice "but I aim to find out once this is over."
"Where is the boy now?" he asked and quickly Naruto's eyes shifted to a set of trees to his eleven o'clock.
"Watch him" Kakashi thought as he stepped forward, sword ready "if he moves at all, I want to know. For now stay back and guard the bridge builder. If I need your help I'll call you."
Hesitantly the boy nodded, motioning his brother back and joining Sakura around the older man.
"So" the rogue nin said "finally ready to fight?"
Kakashi just moved the sword around in various arches and lines to get a feel for its weight and feel then motioned to the other nin with two fingers.
The rogue nin hoped down from his spot, bringing the sword with him, approaching the cyclops "so, let's test that sword of yours against Executioner's Blade. A sword of the Mists against a sword of Leaf."
