COLD 7- BREAKDOWN
7th January 2012 AUTHORS NOTES AU of Manga chapter 452 onwards- A very different meeting between Naruto and Team Samui creates a different reaction from Naruto. 'This' means someone is thinking. Italics alone means the name of something, i.e. Jinchuriki, Katon Jutsu. Horizontal ruler (a line across the page) means a page break or timeskip, may be a few minutes, may be a few hours... -X- means a scene change, i.e. we start with Sakura and Sai in a clearing, then we go to Naruto and Samui in her apartment- a scene change from a street to an apartment. Disclaimer; I do not own Naruto or any of the characters or ideas involved. This is non profit-I am making no money from this.Blue eyes the colour of clear sky, normally cruelly cold, now projected annoyance as the Kumo Kunoichi known as Samui looked straight at Uzumaki Naruto. Or rather at his head, the Konoha Shinobi still wouldn't meet her eyes- his head was hung low in deep depression.
While everyone felt Sakura's tragic and needless death deeply, they all knew the grim truth of relationships in the Shinobi world; they end- often violently- all that could be done was continue as best they could and make sure the dead actually mattered in some way. Not that anyone was going to say this to an unstable Jinchuriki. Though Yamato was 'subtly' trying to get Samui to say it for him. The wood user had already told Naruto their purpose on the island was to take advantage of the locations unique features for training purposes. Naruto's response was simply to continue being cold and unmoving. Yamato could barely believe this was the same kid who bounced off the walls to learn wind manipulation only months earlier. Ignoring the eighth attempt to get her to 'snap Naruto out of his funk' in one way or another, Samui decided to get straight to business; "My sensei was Killer B, Jinchuriki of the Hachibi, I know much about his training methods..." "I'm not using the Kyubi's chakra." Naruto muttered. "So what are you going to use?" "I'll figure it out. Just leave me alone."Samui didn't leave him alone, she spent the next two hours following Naruto around the island;
First Naruto wandered aimlessly, Then he stared into the distance uselessly, Then he sat and stared at the sky pointlessly. After a long and unproductive day everyone turned in for sleep. Samui writhed uncomfortably trying to get to sleep. She lay on her side; lying on her back caused an uncomfortable pressure as the weight of her breasts pressed down on her chest. Lying on her front nearly suffocated her once. Samui buried herself in work when things bothered her. People who didn't challenge themselves to overcome problems annoyed her. 'I need to move past recent doubts about life and the future by focusing on the job. My job is aiding Naruto. And instead the idiot sits around moping reminding me of my problems!' Finally her annoyance passed and she slipped off into unconsciousness... -X- In the dream was an eight year old girl. As she had been doing every day for quite some time now she was sitting on the rope bridge where her father had recently killed himself. Words still clear; "Put your emotions aside and to take care of yourself at all costs..." The last words of her lousy father before he took his life. She sat on the bridge holding onto an Academy textbook tightly, like it was a life preserver in a flood. A shadow covered her, blocking out the warmth of the sun. She didn't react in any way. Then the most annoying sound she'd ever heard assaulted her ears; "Yo, why you sittin' a young beauty cruelly hidden, huh?" The eight year old shuddered, the cringe inducing rapping testing the limits of her tolerance. The newcomer didn't take the message. "Quit looking into the past, get moving fast. Ya hear, ya hear?" Samui gritted her teeth, pulled her textbook so tight it bent slightly out of shape. Surely the Raikage wouldn't object if someone cut this idiots tongue out? "Look to the future, not the past, move on and do it fast-" "Damn it, will you shut the hell up!" She pulled a blunted training Kunai out and swung at the Jonin Killer B, he dodged it effortlessly and continued to rap, not that Samui heard it as she was too busy screaming murderous insults and death threats at the infuriating Jinchuriki. An unknown time later the young blond lay on the floor gasping for breath. Killer B sat on a wall not fatigued in the slightest. "Heh, heh, you're too young to end my song." "*gasp* I swear *gasp* I will become stronger *gasp* so I can cut your damn tongue out!" She screamed. -X- Waking up, the adult Samui stared ahead at her room's plain wall in deep thought. 'I was dreaming about... my first meeting with my future sensei. It wasn't long after that I learnt there was always a method behind B sensei's madness...' In the case of that dream memory it was to provoke her into action... She took several deep breaths. Having made a decision in her head, she stood up, got dressed and walked straight out the door... Straight into Naruto's room. She was unsurprised as Naruto was still awake, staring at the floor in the same depressing expression she had seen from him the last several days. Also unsurprisingly, the blond did nothing to acknowledge her presence. She walked straight up to him; without hesitation she touched Naruto on his shoulder and activated Gyouko souhou, a low level Raiton jutsu designed to cause an overload to the sensory and motor nervous systems of the body, effectively paralyzing the target until the effects wear off. The jutsu was generally used for live capture of targets and was at a low enough level for Samui to perform without handseals or any other advanced warning to her intentions. "GKKK!" Naruto went stiff as a board (no doubt a lot less pleasurable than the last it happened because of her) and would have hit the floor face first if the young woman hadn't grabbed him and threw him over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Naruto could only look around in fear and bewilderment as he was carried outside into the warm night by a possibly crazed Kunoichi who held the teenaged male on one shoulder with no apparent effort. -X- Thanks to Kyubi enhanced healing Naruto was soon getting motor control back- first he could move his fingers, soon after he could move his tongue; "Eeey Aamee wha ya- ooof!" Naruto's mangled speech was cut off by his captor tossing him to the ground roughly. She stood there looking down on him. "Stand up!" She demanded. Naruto wondered what he'd done to make her so angry as the busty Kunoichi looked pissed. He struggled to his feet, still unsteady, his nerves still slightly shot. The Genin heard a sound he knew all to well; hands making seals. A wave of electricity erupted from Samui's hands- it surged through the grassy ground catching Naruto off guard and sending him flying in a once again disrupted heap. "Aaarggh! What the- what the hell are you doing?" "What are you doing? A fourth Shinobi war has been declared. The traitor who murdered your friend is still out there and you want to sit around and mope?" "That's not..." Naruto didn't know what to say. "Then what are you doing? If it's nothing productive, nothing to help to end this war, nothing to save lives, then why don't I kill you to stop Madara from getting a hold of the Kyubi and completing his plan?" Samui pulled her Tanto out; her cold murderous bitch persona was in full effect. The busty blond reared back with the dagger, engaged a series of one handed seals. The blade in her right hand erupted into a blaze of lightning. 'That almost looks like Kakashi-sensei's chidori! Not good!' Samui stabbed the blade forward; a bolt of lightning lashed out at Naruto who dodged with ease. The feinting shot at least; smaller bolts of lightning erupted from the first, Naruto was in mid air as it lashed out. The chakra infused energy (not bound by the normal rules of electricity due to its chakra component) struck the Genin off guard. Unable to perform Substitution he spasmed in pain as he was electrocuted in mid air. The sensation of being burned internally lasted only seconds as the original bolt from which the second emerged only lasted seconds. Despite this Jutsu being clearly more advanced than the first Lightning natured attack he was hit with, Naruto felt very few motor control problems. He struggled to his knees just in time to see Samui charge up to him and knee him in the face; the most uncomfortable panty shot he'd ever received. Naruto rolled as best he could through the shot to the face and pulled his Kunai on instinct. His blade met the larger Tanto for a moment before the Kunoichi's blade ignited in electricity. 'Oh come on!' Naruto barely got out of the way as his Kunai was shredded by the Tanto, now a high intensity Raiton blade. He stared into the glowing blade. An image of Sakura's dead body, of the body of Haku, the bandits he'd killed during his training trip with Jiraiya, the slaughtered villagers of Pain's rampage. His heart froze at the thought of at least one more person would die, here, now. "Nobody is going to die! I won't let that happen." Forming his favourite symbol, Naruto sent a small group of Shadow clones at the attacking Kunoichi. The lightning disappeared from the Tanto. 'Is she giving up?' The clones wondered. The accursed Tanto erupted yet again- not into lightning, but flame. "Oh give me a break!" One of the clones shouted. Samui swung the flaming blade in the wide arc the Kumo-Ryu Kaengiri was famous for, the clone dozen were swallowed in a flying wave of chakra turned fire that spread for dozens of meters causing destruction on an unholy scale. The rampaging Kunoichi cut back on the chakra flow to her blade- the inferno shrank to a simple fire on her weapon. She looked around through the flaming debris, not doubting Naruto was still alive. -X- Naruto raced through the forest, hoping to escape the crazed Kunoichi. His escape attempts weren't helped by the fact that he didn't know the geography of the island and had to manoeuvre around several oversized, and very dangerous animals. Neither of these seemed a problem for Samui who found Naruto easily. "I trained on this island with my sensei! Fight me or die while running in terror!" She yelled at the fleeing blond. Now highly pissed off, Naruto turned and attacked. For the next couple of minutes the attacking Kunoichi was blitzed from all angles by waves of clones. Annoyed at the insultingly two dimensional attack Samui exterminated the clones using an array of over the top, flashy fire and lightning jutsu before she realised her two mistakes; One- the Jinchuriki had chakra to waste spamming advanced techniques- she didn't. Two- she was wasting time killing clones when she should have gone after the Jutsu caster. She cut power to her blade and took several deep breaths. While she had impressive reserves, her chakra was still a limited commodity. A voice called out from the trees to her left. "I don't want to fight you." Naruto- the original she suspected for some reason. "Why?" She demanded at him. Naruto didn't answer. She swung another Kumo-Ryu Kaengiri at the Leaf ninja, he duck and rolled under the arc of flame. "Why?" Samui repeated. She felt movement to her right, she turned just in time to ID Naruto (another one) kicking her weapon out of her hand. She leapt back as the latest orange clad blond went after her lost Tanto thinking it was the key to her fighting style. His theory was wrong as he was removed from existence by a graze by one out of a dozen fireballs courtesy of Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu. "Why?" Samui yelled over the crackling of the flames all around her. "Because... I can't... I can't do this! Any of this! Sasuke. The war. Being some kind of messiah! I can't do it!" Naruto rushed the Kunoichi surprising her with his speed. The pair traded Taijutsu. Naruto seemed to be flailing in fury allowing Samui to dodge by retreating. She blocked a wild punch with her forearm- it felt like a sledgehammer hit her- even without demonic chakra running through him his brute strength was impressive. Her rational mind wondered if she could beat him in a fight if he went all out. She doubted it. "I don't expect you to fight the battles alone. Or single-handedly win a war. Or be anything other than a good ninja. And you are not alone in this." Samui blushed embarrassed. This heart to heart wasn't for her. Naruto eventually took Samui down with a kick to her midsection that sent her flying and crashing to the ground. He leapt on top of her, straddled her, holding her arms down with his own. Then stopped looking at her furiously, his emotions in turmoil. "I- I thought... I believed I was what Jiraiya and the Toads said I was... a child of prophecy, a destined messiah. It never occurred to me that I could fail. But I did. Sakura is dead. No jutsu or promise or Nindo is going to change that." He teared up, his tears dropping onto Samui's face who struggled not to let her cold bitch facade break under what she was witnessing. "No. Nothing is going to change what has happened. But you can stop it from happening again. As long as we are alive, we all have a chance to do better in the future." Naruto collapsed on top of the trapped Kunoichi, whether through grief, exhaustion from the fight, or both, he collapsed and didn't move. And she just held him.END CHAPTER 6
AUTHORS NOTES I decided to put in something about Naruto killing in self defence during the time skip with Jiraiya (I find it implausible that Naruto has gone as long as he has in canon without killing someone). Killer B is alive in this fic, he's just playing hookie and will show up later on. Samui isn't overpowered- she's supposed to be a Jonin- meaning an 'elite Ninja', I don't consider someone who knows one cool trick to be an 'elite'. I wanted the fight between Naruto and Samui to be a battle of freakish power (Naruto) against versatility (Samui), hence her repertoire of flashy Jutsu. JUTSU LIST Gyouko souhou (freezing touch), original Jutsu for this story; a low level Raiton jutsu that transmitted electricity into the enemies body that impedes the neurons of the brain, causing an overload to the sensory and motor nervous systems of the body, effectively paralyzing the target until the effects wear off, the jutsu is generally used for live capture of targets such as enemy ninja with vital information or Kekkei Genkai. Raiton: Jibashi (Lightning Release: Electromagnetic murder), canon Jutsu; this technique allows the user to create a wave of electricity from their hands. The user can vary its power from a small surge to shock and stun an opponent, to a powerful stream of lightning capable of ripping through solid rock and causing instant death in the target. Raiton: Nijiteki kyouryou dageki (literally Secondary bridge strike), original Jutsu for this story; the user fires a bolt of lightning at an opponent, if the opponent dodges (which is very possible since the Jutsu requires a visible charge up time), secondary smaller bolts of lightning strike out from the sides of the first- the idea is to catch the opponent in mid air and paralyse him setting him up for a killing blow (although some ninja are powerful enough to make the secondary strikes instantly lethal, Samui can't). Raiton: Kasui (Lightning release: Stream), mostly canon jutsu; a Jutsu which allows the user to channel their lightning element chakra into a bladed weapon, creating a vibrating frequency and increasing its piercing and cutting power to extraordinary levels. Kumo-Ryu Kaengiri (Cloud style Flame beheading), canon jutsu used by Samui's brother Atsui; a fire style Jutsu, the user first imbues their blade with fire, then slashes in the direction of the enemy, resulting in the creation of large arcs of intense flame that follow the trajectory of the sword swing. This jutsu lacks penetrating power but is capable of offence and defence at mid range simultaneously; creating circular walls of flames, incinerating multiple targets even if they simultaneously approach from numerous angles. Katon: Hosenka No Jutsu (Literally Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique), canon Jutsu; a volley of small fireballs that are sent at an opponent in an unpredictable pattern, used here because I didn't want Samui to look like a one trick pony with only sword based Jutsu.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
