Master of Jiongu

Chapter 11: Wave Arc 3

Yosh Flames of Youth. Yes

Welcome back my many, many, loyal fans! I trust your time away from this wonderful story was pleasant, yes?

So now we're ending the Wave Arc with the historic event of the battle on the bridge, and there are a few things that are going to be changed. I will also explain those changes at the end of the chapter to help you guys understand what had happened.

PLEASE READ THIS NEXT PART! IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!

I am so SO sorry. I just looked back at what I said for the attack on Uzu and I saw that I wrote that 93% of the enemy SURVIVED. I meant to say that 93% DIED, but apparently my brother admitted that he changed it to survive when I wasn't writing, and I was about 1,000 words away from that sentence so I never knew until I read the reviews closely. I've gone back and fixed that so future readers won't complain.

Please forgive me for my stupidity.

Another thing, people have been asking me about how a civilian can get past trained ninja and the Hokage in Chapter 1 to attack Naruto. Allow me to explain, it was the best scenario I could come up with, and the ones I saw in the other Jiongu stories said that he stumbled upon the scroll from a loose floorboard, or that Kakuzu gave it to him. I wanted to make Naruto's receiving of the Jiongu unique, so Chapter 1's events were what I came up with

I apologize for this being late, but I had a lot of trouble coming up with the events that are in this chapter. I wanted to make it different and unique while changing things from canon to what I think would have been better.

Let's begin.

(Tazuna's House)

Shino had just closed the door to his room after laying Naruto on the bed. The blond had worked himself to exhaustion in order to try and perfect a secret technique that he was working on. The bug user walked downstairs where everyone else was waiting.

"He's in a bed," Shino said.

Kurenai nodded and Kakashi said, "This is most likely when Zabuza and his accomplice will attack, so everyone's going to the bridge in order to help protect Tazuna. But I'm going to have to ask that you stay here Kiba."

"Why? I can help!" The young Inuzuka protested.

"With Akamaru still hurt, your attacks are going to be less effective, and I have a feeling that Gato might send some of his thugs here to take Inari and/or Tsunami hostages," Kakashi explained.

Kiba sighed and said, "Alright, but you guys better kick some ass for me!"

"To be precise, we aren't going to be kicking anyone while we're fighting," Shino said.

Everyone stared at Shino and Kiba placed a hand on the Aburame's shoulder and said, "Shino, my friend, it's an expression, not something I literally meant.

"Then why did you not say something more accurate?" Shino asked.

"Okay, we're going to work on your people skills some more when we get back to Konoha," Kiba told him.

"Can we get a move on?" Sasuke grunted as he patiently stood near the door while trying to get away from Sakura, who was trying to cling to his arm.

Kakashi sighed, Sasuke might have been a prodigy, but failed to grasp what he has been trying to teach him and Sakura from day one. That fighting alongside his allies would be better for him, but the young Uchiha would rather use his teammates as meat shields. It didn't help that Sakura would rather help Sasuke instead of anyone else either. In fact, Kiba was the only reason that they passed his test since he was able to convince the two to work together.
