Two weeks…two weeks since his encounter with the slug sannin. The blond Jinchuriki was now sorting through various files in his office. They held the name and picture of every ninja in Konoha's records from chuunin and below. He had returned to Konoha just a week after the encounter, practically storming through the halls in silent fury. He left Kakashi, Shibi and Kurenai there and simply told them to 'Handle the situation as they saw fit'
Shino and Hinata had returned with him and Jiraiya.
He gave another angry look at the gold bracers now wrapped around the wrists of his gauntlets. Jiraiya had given them to him just a few days after he arrived back in Konoha and he explained the apparent workings of this seal.
"From what you explained to me about what's happening with the seal this is probably the best solution I can come up with"
Naruto looked to the golden bands before he picked one up and examined it. "What does it do?" He questioned turning his eyes onto him.
"Wipe your blood over it and focus your chakra." He said simply.
Naruto removed one of his gauntlets cut his finger over the edges of the other, wiped it on the gold band and focused his chakra. The blood over the two gold wrist bracers was immediately absorbed into five individual seals on each band, making ten in total.
"These are basically chakra blockers of sorts. They'll hold back the Kyuubi's chakra enough so it doesn't hurt you, but not enough to mess up your chakra control." He paused for a moment before he continued. "Each seal can also be released at any time, you just need to wipe your blood over one of the seals and say Kai in order to do so. removing two of the seals should be equivalent to one tail, but I truly don't recommend you using it."
"Since you were unable to do anything about the damaging effects of the chakra weren't you." Naruto said, quickly deducing the reason for the mans warnings.
Jiraiya sighed and shook his head. "No, I don't know of any seal that could surpress the damage demon chakra causes to a human body. Minato obviously knew of one based on what the Kyuubi told you since that's apparently what he did with the girl. But as you know all of his research and the Hiraishin scroll were destroyed in the fire of his home caused by the fox."
Naruto nodded and looked at the gold wristbands. "So in essence, unless I bring back the Kyuubi's conscious mind into the seal and find a way to keep him in there then the chakra will always be unstable when I use it."
Jiraiya nodded. "Yeah." He sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Its turned now into a double edge sword, the physical boosts are still as impressive, if not more so without the Kyuubi's restrictions, but the pain and long term damage it can cause you can make you loose the fight anyway."
Naruto looked pensive for a moment before he snapped the wrist bands on his gauntlets. "Remove the five point seal." He ordered.
Jiraiya nodded as both ninja stood. He formed his hand seals, letting the blue flames glow on the tips of his fingers for a moment before he slammed them into Naruto's stomach. The boy grunted and straightened as he felt the small traces of Kyuubi's chakra once again begin to flow through his system. Still, he could tell that the chakra in him was much wilder than before. It didn't cause him pain, but it was still a constant, harsh reminder that he now had to guard enemies from both outside, and within himself.
He stood before turning to Jiraiya. "Now…I want you to personally search through Sarutobi-sama's personal records, whatever happened he most likely did not want me or anyone else to find it, you are the only person currently alive who is better at seals than he was. Find me Something." He ground out as he glared at the white haired ninja with cold blue eyes.
Jiraiya nodded before he turned and left the office.
Naruto sighed and rubbed his head, throwing the folder onto the desk he leaned back in his chair, he was getting a migraine, something he almost never did get. He looked out the window to view the village of Konoha, there was still a tension in the air, something heavy and oppressive. He sighed again before he donned his cloak and mask and made his way out the door, he needed a walk or something to clear his head.
Akina's eyes subtly shifted from the back of Tsunade's head, to the floor. A tense silence was oppressive around the three of them. Tsunade hadn't even spoken to her Shizune would send looks of both pity, suspicion and a little bit of fear every now and then.
She scarcely remembered the fight, she remembered fighting against the guy in green, Guan she remembered was his name. Then she had taken the sword and gone to destroy the thing. But decided to hide it instead since it would take way too much chakra to melt the thing and had rushed back.
Then she remembered seeing him standing over Shizune…after that, some things started becoming hazy for her, she remembered being angry and having attacked him…then…she remembered…red…almost like…fire…and a voice…a dark voice…telling her…calling for blood…telling her to destroy…everything…then…nothing.
She had woken up to an interrogation…
