/Author's comments;
Last time:
Minato looked at Hinata who looked like she was kicking herself for not seeing the real meaning of the test, then at Mito who was mad that she wasn't getting the credit she deserved and finally, his eyes landed on Naruto "Team 7 …"
XXXXXXXXXX
"DADDY! I hate that cat, I want a better mission!" shrieked Mito as she barged into his office.
Minato and his 20 clones doing paperwork, flinched, he was starting to regret passing team 7. Actually, he isn't sure why he did. All he remembered was seeing Naruto's naked torso after his spar with Kakashi and everything went blank after that, but he was hoping that a little experience as a ninja would make Mito realize that she is not the center of the universe. Sadly, it's not working!
"Mito, we've only been a team for three weeks, I don't think we're allowed higher level missions" said Naruto as he, Kakashi and Hinata came into the office. Minato's heart started racing when he saw the glasses wearer and he was fighting a blush.
"shut it freak, it's because of me we're a team in the first place!" yelled Mito
"Mito that's enough! Don't call your teammate names and stop lying or would you like me to replay what happened during the genin test" Minato reached for the crystal ball, but Mito clammed up and stayed quiet "Kakashi what do you think about taking a C rank mission?"
'I think it would be a good idea, but only for Hinata and Naruto, Mito just isn't ready. Hell, she can't even behave when we're with clients" the copycat ninja ignored Mito's glare.
Minato frowned (Hinata and Naruto both improved, it would be a shame to not give them a chance on a harder mission) "what if someone went with you to help keep an eye on Mito?"
Kakashi nodded ignoring Mito's scowl "that could work. Who do you have in mind?"
"I'll find someone, but first your client. Could you send her in" Minato called to his secretary. A moment later a tall woman with short brown hair came in and Minato said "this is Ayame Ice and she is an archeologist. She and her team recently found a new site and she's wants ninjas there to keep grave robbers away while they remove the artifacts. You guys leave in an hour"
Ayame smiled "hi, I – who are you!?" the archeologist had hearts in her eyes as she latched on to Naruto's arm.
"I'm Naruto Kurosaki" said the magic user as he escorted her out of the room with Hinata and Mito in tow. No one saw Minato glare at the archeologist.
"so you'll get someone to come with us- … s-sensei are you ok?" when Kakashi noticed that Minato was leaking killer intent and had look on his face that promised death "umm I'm going to leave" Minato shot him a 'well leave already' look and Kakashi bolted out of the room.
XXXXXXXXXX
Kurama arrived at the east gate. He saw Hinata, Mito and their client Ayame "Hi guys, I was asked to join you guys ... umm where's Kakashi-nii and Naruto?"
Hinata grimaced "that pervert ran off, something about a book sale. Naruto went to get him"
That's when Naruto appeared dragging Kakashi by the collar "we don't have time for you to wait in line for that book. You can buy it when we get back"
"But I want my precious now!" cried the hopeless pervert as he was dragged out of the village. Kakashi looked up at the hokage tower and saw the lights in Minato's office flicker. He knew it was Momo tormenting Minato again. It's been like this for weeks. Momo has been torturing all of them by throwing objects at them, making them lose things, possessing them, and giving them horrible nightmares. A part of them knew they deserved her wrath. Of course, even if they asked Naruto to stop her, they had a feeling he couldn't even if he wanted to. Nothing can stop a Mother's warpath.
This made Kakashi actually want to leave the village.
XXXXXXXXXX
Now at the dig site, everyone was ready to go. The Konoha ninja met the other scientists who were happy for the protection. The first few hours went well, but then there was a problem. They found a tomb near the dig site. The problem was that the floor was too dangerous to walk on.
Naruto offered to go in first to reinforce the floor using his abilities and they agreed. So the ninjas split up, Naruto followed by Hinata and Kurama went into the tomb and Kakashi stayed outside to keep Mito in line.
"This place is creepy!" said Hinata who had her Byakugan active to look for weak points in the walls, ceiling and floor "we're coming to a chamber 30 meters ahead"
Naruto nodded and sent a few small fire golems ahead to light the way. When the trio entered the vast circular stone room they were in awe. The walls were covered in intricate designs and colorful tapestries that were worn with time and amazing statues. Naruto touched the floor and channeled mana into the stone reconstructing it.
As Naruto was reinforcing the structure Kurama saw two different hallways leading away from the room "Hinata which way should we go from here?"
Hinata focused her Byakugan "I think we should start with the hallway to the left first. The hallway on the right leads down a dangerous stairwell that has a lot of damage to the ceiling so it might be safest to fix everything else first"
Naruto and Kurama agreed and they went down the left hallway. That hallway lead to a beautiful room with several shelves with that held finely crafted pots. In the middle of the room were three stone slabs that looked like beds.
"this could be where these people prepared their dead for burial" Naruto pondered out loud as he channeled his mana into the necessary areas.
Hinata shivered "that's it! I'm getting cremated when I die! I don't want to be put in a box to rot or have someone messing with my corpse! You two are my witnesses!" the two males nodded.
"I'm almost done so you don't have to stay here. Why don't you check the other hallway? Just be careful" Hinata quickly scrambled out of the room.
Naruto chuckled "I can't believe she gets spooked so easily! ... Is there something you'd like to say, Kurama?"
"I'm sorry! About everything! Please don't hate us and tell us how we can fix this" pleaded the red head.
"I never hated any of you-"
"Why Not?! There're people who have slaughtered their entire family for less" Kurama was getting so worked that he started shedding tears.
Naruto face faulted "well, I like to think it's because I'm not a psychopath"
"I know your not, but you have every reason to hate us-"
Naruto reached out and placed hands on Kurama's shoulders "Kurama calm down, I'm just not the type of guy who lets anger control me, but then if I didn't have my mother I can't honestly say I wouldn't have spiraled down path. Yes, I was very hurt, angry and felt betrayed, but I'm over that. Now about 'fixing this' it's just not going to happen. What's done is done., We can't change the past. The only thing we can do is realize we screwed up and make a promise to never let it happen again and then move on. You're not helping anyone by dwelling on the past"
Kurama sniffled "you're right"
"good, now we should go find Hinata before she freaks out"
Kurama raised an eyebrow "why do you think she would freak out?"
Naruto snickered "she said the other hall went down a staircase right? Well if this is where they prepared their dead where do you want to bet they buried their dead?"
Kurama laughed and as the two went back to the main chamber to get Hinata he asked "Naruto, is there any way you can tell Momo to stop tormenting us?"
"would you ever try to stop Kushina when she's mad?" Kurama paled and shook his head "then you can see why there is absolutely no way I can stop my mom! I have zero control over her, but I wouldn't worry. She should calm down eventually. Why, what's she doing?"
"she possessed me and when I woke up I was standing with a kunai at my throat and she's been giving all of us nightmares where we are in your shoes so to speak. None of us has had a decent nights sleep unless we're on missions. Dad and Mom are using a genjutsu to hide the circles around their eyes"
"ouch well like I said she should calm down soon. Hinata, where did she go?"
The two ninja looked around the main chamber and found Hinata clinging to a statue on top of a pedestal next to a tapestry.
"I'm not going down there" said Hinata
Naruto turned to Kurama and casually stated "did you know that some cultures used their dead as decoration?"
Kurama nodded "yeah, I think I heard that some cultures used the ashes of the dead to make statues"
Hinata yelped and jumped away from the statue "fine I'll go! Let's get this mission over with!"
The trio slowly and carefully made their way down the hall and the staircase. At the end of the stairs was a large room with sixteen stone coffins arranged in perfect rows of four in the center of the room. Naruto repeated the process of channeling his mana before going into the room.
As Naruto fixed the structure Kurama examined the coffins "this place is pretty cool! Hinata come and see
The Hyuga heiress refused to vacate her spot on the stairs "I can see just fine from here Kurama-senpai. I'm not going any where near dead people"
Kurama shook his head and continued looking around. Many years ago, part of the ceiling collapsed and cracked the lid of the stone coffin. Kurama went closer to inspect it and saw a flower peeking out of the crack.
"how unusual, there's a flower all the way-AHH!"
Both Hinata and Naruto heard Kurama yelp in pain and collapse and went to help, but the second Naruto saw that flower sticking out of crack in the lid he yelled "Shit, Hinata stay where you are! Don't leave the stairs! I'll explain in a minute"
Hinata watched from her spot on the stairs and she could see her teammate rip open Kurama's shirt and examine him. Then Hinata saw Naruto trace symbols on Kurama's stomach. The symbols glowed and made a blue green dome encircling Kurama's bellybutton. Naruto scooped up Kurama and headed up the stairs with Hinata following.
Hinata looked at the red head in Naruto's arms and under the translucent dome she saw what looked like a sapling growing out of his bellybutton "is there something growing out of him?!'
"yes, it's called the 'Demon Eater' it was believed to eat demons. That flower in the coffin shot a seed into him. He can't move right now because the seed was coated with a sap like substance that acts like a paralytic"
"but why would it attack Kurama-senpai, he's not a demon?" asked Hinata
"these plants actually feed on chakra for the first stage of life. They are called 'Demon Eater' because they existed long before the sage of six paths, when only demons had chakra. This civilization probably existed before the sage too and believed it only killed demons"
Hinata grew concerned "will he be alright?"
"Yes, the sapling you see is called a 'Net' it collects chakra to feed the main 'Core' which lies in the part of the seed that's under the skin. The dome I put up keeps chakra away from the 'Net', but it can't stop sunlight so we can't take him out side until I remove the plant. Once we make it to the main chamber I will stay with him and you should tell Kakashi-sensei"
Hinata nodded and when they came to the main chamber she helped Naruto make Kurama as comfortable as they could before leaving to get Kakashi.
XXXXXXXXXX
Kakashi was currently trying to keep Mito from breaking any artifacts when Hinata ran up to them "sensei a plant tried to kill Kurama-senpai"
Kakashi blinked "could you run that by me again?"
Hinata told him about the 'Demon Eater' and Kurama's condition.
"Ok, Hinata you stay here and keep watch and I'll go help Naruto" Hinata nodded and Kakashi went into the tomb. He followed the trail of fire golems and found the main chamber where he saw Naruto kneeling next to Kurama who was lying on the ground.
The glasses wearer looked at the copycat nin "he's stable, but I need to remove the entire seed. I can't grab it by the 'Net' because the 'Net' is designed to detach in an emergency"
"so how can you get it out?" asked the worried jonin
"I can try to make a salve that will numb the area. Hopefully the 'Net' will become numb to so it won't be able to detach. There might be something I can use in the room they prepared the dead. We shouldn't move him to much we might have to leave him here"
"can he hear me?"
"yes, he's just paralyzed"
Kakashi knelt down next to Kurama "don't worry Kurama, you'll be ok. We'll only be gone for a little while" he hesitated for a moment before following Naruto down a hallway. Naruto and Kakashi entered the room with the pots and stone beds and started emptying the contents of the pots onto a bed. The mana user began sifting through the dried herbs looking for what he needs.
Naruto smiled "just as I thought, these people used the exact herbs I need to make a numbing salve"
The copycat nin has never been so relieved "that's good to hear! Naruto, could you tell me more about this plant?"
"the 'Demon Eater' shots a hollow dart shaped seed at the chakra coils of it's victim. The seed is coated with a powerful paralytic. The sharp end buries deep into the flesh injecting the paralytic. Once it's victim can't move the part of the seed that's closest to the skin forms the 'Net' and the part deep inside the body forms a 'Root' or a hollow tube. As the 'Net' collects energy the 'Core' in the hollow cavity of the seed grows and the 'Root' grows very long and reaches for the abdominal wall that's between the abdominal cavity and the chest cavity. Then, when the 'Core' and 'Root' are done growing and no longer need chakra the leaves of the 'Net' open and the 'Core' drops into the hollow 'Root'. The 'Core' travels down the 'Root'. When it hits the tip of the 'Root' the 'Root' releases an acidic substance that smells like almonds that burns through the abdominal wall. When the hole is big enough the 'Root' releases a substance that smells like garlic that propels the 'Core' into the chest cavity. The 'Core' moves to the heart and burrows in and ruptures the heart"
Kakashi froze "rupture! will he be alright?! Why can't we just get rid of the 'Net'?"
Naruto started mixing the herbs and grinding them together "you can't just pluck the 'Net'. If you do the 'Net' will eject the seed and the 'Root' will take over the chakra collecting. The dome I put up around the 'Net' will keep any chakra away so he'll be fine as long as no one sticks their hands in"
Kakashi sighed "ok, I feel better. Naruto, do you work with this plant or something? You know a lot about it"
The glasses wearer nodded "I do. The two substances I mentioned, the ones that smell like almonds and garlic, I use them in heal potions and antidotes. I just saturate a pot of dirt with chakra and hold near a 'Demon Eater' and extract what I need. Well, I only know what they smell like because I use a concentrated version. I would need a sense of smell like yours if I wanted identify them without concentrating them"
"how long does the process of getting shot to the heart rupturing take?" asked the jonin
Naruto was finishing the salve "the process of getting shot to the point where the 'Net' opens it's leaves can take 3 to 10 minutes depending on how fast the chakra can be collected, but after the leaves open all the way it can take 30 seconds for the 'Core' to reach the heart"
XXXXXXXXXX
In all the commotion everybody forgot about one person, Mito.
She was currently standin next to Kurama looking at the 'Net' "it's just a plant, why is everyone so worked up? Plants don't eat chakra. My godmother Tsunade taught me medical ninjutsu so I can get rid of it easily!"
Mito made a chakra scalpel and approached the dome, She growled when the dome flicked her chakra away. So she tried again, but this time she stuck her hands in the dome first and pushed her chakra in. Mito didn't notice a tear leave Kurama's eye as he felt agonizing pain as the 'Root' grew.
The 'Net' got bigger
The leaves started to part
