Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 The 7 swordsmen Part 2

What if Itachi uses his good heart to try to change the world with Sasuke? They are on the run after the massacre. They will be a good version of Madra and Izuna. Will Naruto and other main characters join? How will they shape their world with the Akatsuki and the hidden villages trying to stop them? Itachi x Mei

There will be three Konoha ninjas to join the Akatsuki other than Orochimaru. 

This story will have many shocking turns and twists. I will not just stick to Canon and not try to shake things up. This will be a completely different ninja villages.

Only one story at a time

I will be updating one chapter at a time.

You will be amazed at how many of the main characters will power up.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters in Naruto. (I do own how it literally took me 5 days to decide who to give the helmet splitter sword to.).

Ch 16

Zabuza, go ahead and explain the last sword. Yes, Itachi. The sword is the Kabutowari. The sword itself consists of a giant axe and hammer, linked end-to-end by a flat, thin, leather-like rope, which together are referred to as a bluntsword. It is said to be able to break through any defense. The length of the cord means each weapon can be utilized individually. They can be employed in conjunction with one another. When facing a particularly difficult defense, the wielder can first attack by striking with the axe before slamming the hammer downwards onto its blunt backside. thus using the blade like a wedge to drive straight through the defense. It can be used to create a powerful shock wave by slamming it into the ground. We only have two real options for this blade, which are Choji and Cjojuro. Choji is part of the Akimichi clan, who are super strong. On top of that, he has fire ninjutsu and earth ninjutsu. And like mentioned previously, Chojuro is a water ninjutsu specialist with good chakra reserves. Well, Zabuza and Kisame, you guys may not be aware, but they have the ability to become massive. Like the size of a 4- to 5-story building. On top of that, they usually use a bowstaff so that they can make the bow grow bigger. So in theory, Choji could make the Kabutowari that big, and in that powerful mode, he would be in an extremely powerful state. Wow, that is impressive. We should put this meeting on hold while you talk to his father about that. Alright, see you guys soon.

Hi Choza, How are you doing today? Good, thank you for coming, Itachi. So this sword is the Kabutowari, which is a very powerful sword. It is also one of the 7 swords of the mist. We are thinking of giving the sword to your son, Choji. Let's go to this field nearby; there are some things that I am curious about. Yes, Itachi. Choza followed Itachi into the field he was leading him to. Wherever you get big, you take a bowstaff and make it bigger, right? Yes, Itachi. Well, I want to see if you can make the Kabutowari bigger as well. When the hammer hits the blunt side of the sword, it greatly increases its power. Can you go ahead and hit the ground while in your big state, please? Itachi saw Choza make the Kabutowari bigger as well as he got bigger. Itatchi saw Choza hit the ground, and there was a huge crater in the ground, which was impressively big. You can exit that big form, Choza. How much more power did that generate compared to your guys normal bowstaff? Probably about 2 times; it definitely is a very powerful weapon. At what age would Choji be able to do that? Probably 17, 18, or 19 years old. Okay, that sounds good. Thank you for your help. Any time, Itachi.

 Hi Zabuza and Kisame, Are you guys ready to resume the meeting? Yes, Itachi, we are ready. It looks like Choza could make the sword get bigger with him, like with his bowstaff. He told me that he was about 2 times stronger with the sword than the bowstaff. It does sound like it would take Choji until he is between 17 and 19 to use the jutsu to that level. So with the 2-year sword training, he would be 19-21 before being able to use that function. I think we should give Choji the sword Kisame and Zabuza. Even though he will not be able to expand to the degree as his father for many years. He is still going to be very strong. With the sword in his hands, he will be so powerful in close-range situations. And we can teach him fire ninjustu to make him more diverse. And when he does figure out his clan-specific justu, he will be even more scary and strong. Zabuza, what do you think? Well, he will be very powerful with the sword from a young age. He has fire ninjustu, which is offensive. Earth style is mostly a defensive ninjustu. With Choji's powerful style, teaching him earth jutsu would not make sense. So I agree with you, Itachi, if we do give him the sword, we should focus on his fire ninjustu only. Chojuro does have his water ninjustu and great chakra reserves. Itachi I think it should go to Chojuro since he will not always be surrounded by ninja like Shikamaru and Ino with their extremely elite support abilities. Due to those clans abilities to keep people in place, this is the reason why the Akimichi clans abilities are so effective. A swordsman will never go on a non-S rank mission that has as much quality support as the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanka trio has had for a long time. And then how effective would he be against non-stationary ninjas? Like any A-ranked ninja that has a speed advantage on him would give him issues. That's probably like 60% of A-ranked ninja's that fit that description. And those are the exact kinds of missions Swordsman go on. On top of that, how would he handle long-range Ninjas without them? Yeah, I understand what you are saying, Zabuza. We could just have one of you two as the Jonin Sensie of the Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji trio. No, Itachi, all 5 of the swordsmen need to be on teams together to compete with each other as Genin. On top of that, the sword would not help his beast ball Justu either. Kisasme, we are tied; which one do you think should have the sword? Itachi, I think it should be Chojuruo as well. I would agree with you if Choji could master that function by 14 or something like that. But he may not survive with the dangerous missions that the 7 swordsmen of the mist take. I am sure you would agree that until Choji figured out how to become the size of Choza and grow to that size, Chojuro would be stronger. On top of that, Chojuro is the only water Ninjustu user with good chakra reserves here. His potential being taught by us is much closer to that potential version of Choji after being able to expand the sword to that size than I think you are giving credit for. On top of that, every person we just gave a sword to has never held a sword a day in their life. Chojuro has always dreamed of being one of the 7 swordsmen of the mist. He has been training with the sword since he was 4. Having someone so advanced their own age will make Naruto, Sauske, Shino, and Hinata become much better with the sword being around him. He has a very good work ethic as well. In my opinion, he should be a swordsman. Itachi, after taking in all of that information, felt like his choice had changed. Yeah, Zabuza and Kisame, you guys are right. Chojuro will be the wielder of the Kabutowari. We will go ahead and call every new swordsman in the office. Zabuza, you will explain to them their training over the next two years. You will also be the head of their training for the next two years. Yes Itachi.

Alright, thank you all for coming. Sasuke, Naruto, Shino, Hinata, and Chojuro, you are all going to become the 7 swordsmen of the hidden mist. As you are aware, the 7 swordsmen of the mist strike fear into others. They are ninjas who are at the top of the list of the strongest ninjas in the Mist. They are respected within the village. It is the greatest non-Mizukage rank that can be granted. As you are aware, there are currently two swordsmen of the hidden mist village. Kisame, who is right there, and Zabuza Momochi. Zabuza is very talented at developing young children into their potential. For the next two years, you guys will take your normal classes with Zabuza, but you will have extensive swordsman training as well. 4 of you have never held a sword a day in your life, so the basics will need to be drilled into you. Your school days will be much longer than for normal academy students. And the training will be much tougher than anything your academy students are doing as well. Zabuza, go ahead and give out the swords and explain to them the vision behind giving each person their swords. Yes, Mizukage-sama. 

We will go ahead and start off with Sasuke. This is the Kiba sword. It is a pair of swords, each with slim and straight double-edged blades. Both blades also have an upward-curved, bladed prong near the tip of one side of the blade and another one near the base of the blade's other side. They each have been imbued with lightning. displaying enhanced cutting power. They allow the user to transform and manipulate lightning freely. They also boost the user's attack power to the highest limit, which allows them to perform high-level Lightning Release techniques with a minimal cost of chakra. These blades can channel the user's own respective lightning techniques or conduct natural lightning. As long as there is natural lighting to access, the user can battle continuously without tiring and launch lightning from the sky to strike anywhere within a large area. They can also be connected at the hilts to form a larger double-bladed sword. They are able to perform various long-distance, powerful, and defensive techniques, either lightning-based or imbued with it. Sasuke Your chakra nature is lightning, so you will be very dangerous with this sword. On top of that, you have very good chakra reserves. We did test it with your Susanoo, and you said that you felt less chakra drain. Mastering fire and lightning releases will be the main training focus over the next few years with this sword. Thank you. Zabuza handed the sword to Sasuke.

Naruto, this is the Hiramekeri.The Hiramekeri is capable of storing chakra, and the two holes at the tip of the blade emit it on command. This can then be formed into various weapons, including a hammer or a longer sword. The size of the resulting weapon appears to depend upon the amount of chakra stored up beforehand, meaning a larger quantity will be met with a similar increase in the weapon's ultimate size. These weapons are also formed with speed. Naruto, you are the 9-tails jinchuriki. Because of this, you have very large chakra reserves. With these chakra reserves, you will be able to make the size and damage of this sword massive. Also, if you do figure out the hirashion, you will be able to put the seal on the sword and transport it with you. You are very creative, and the sword takes on many forms that are up to the user's imagination. We will bring back the 3-tailed jinchuriki to train you. You will use a shadow clone for this training, and your real body will be mastering the 9 tails.Thank you. Zabuza handed the sword to Naruto.

Hinata, this is the Nuibari, which is a narrow longsword. It has a long length of thin wire, mirroring thread, tied through the eye located at the base of its hilt. It has the ability to pierce all and stitch them together. It can effortlessly penetrate multiple targets in a single thrust. The sword can also be thrown to pierce enemies. The thread can be used to bind someone to a certain spot as well. Your chakra nature is lightning, so we think you can encase this sword in lightning and increase its piercing power. The longsword could be used to extend your gentle fist. We are thinking of teaching you to use it in creative ways. We think your byakugan will make you much more accurate on what you puncture than anyone that has ever wielded the sword.Thank you. Zabuza handed the sword to Hinata.

Shino, this is the Shibuki; the blade utilizes various explosive tags contained within a substantial scroll. The sword itself features two distinct sides, with a narrow cutting edge located down the entirety of one length and a wide platform section on the other. The aforementioned scroll unrolls along this latter side, sliding downwards and resting atop its surface to form an individual segment comprised of numerous explosive tags, which separates from the remainder upon detonation. The sword is able to reload another segment of tags onto the platform automatically after each strike. A skilled user of the sword can make the exploding tags go much farther than the sword for some midrange assaults. With your bugs, you are naturally a long-range specialist, but with a sword, you would be good at close range. Your chakra nature is earth, which can be used defensively to give you more time for your bugs to be effective as well. We talked to your father, and it looks like you could use your bugs to carry the paper bombs as well, which would be interesting. .Thank you. Zabuza handed the sword to Shino.

Chojuro, this is the Kabutowari. The sword itself consists of a giant axe and hammer, linked end-to-end by a flat, thin, leather-like rope, which together are referred to as a bluntsword. It is said to be able to break through any defense. The length of cord means each weapon can be utilized individually. They can be employed in conjunction with one another. When facing a particularly difficult defense, the wielder can first attack by striking with the axe before slamming the hammer downwards onto its blunt backside. thus using the blade like a wedge to drive straight through the defense. It can be used to create a powerful shock wave by slamming it into the ground. Your chakra nature is water, so we think you have some very good midrange fighting potential. On top of that, you have very good chakra reserves. You also have been practicing swordsmanship for many years. During this training camp, we will need you to be an example to your other swordsman on sword fighting. Yes, Zabuza! Thank you. Zabuza handed the sword to Chojuro.

I have high hopes for you all to be great swordsmen of the mist. You will all have to be dedicated to your learning. Yes, Mizukage-sama, they all yelled out at once. Alright, go home and let your parents know the good news. Thank you, Mizukage Sama! They all yelled out at once. Chojuro went home as fast as he could because he could not wait to tell his mom. Mom! Guess what?! I will be one of the 7 swordsmen of the mist, and I was given the Kabutowari! Wow, Chojuro, that is great news! I am so proud of my baby, who works so hard on his swordsmanship practice. Thanks mom Chojuro said back with a tear in his eye. You know what I am going to do? What mom? I will go out and buy some eel today since it is your favorite. How about that? Yes, mom, that sounds great! Your father is coming back from his mission tomorrow, so you will have to give him the good news. Yes, mom, I will tell him!

Shino walked through the door of his house with the Shibuki in hand. Hi Dad, they gave me this sword. I will become one of the 7 swordsmen of the mist. That is good news, Shino. I am proud of you.I have some new bugs I found today. Let's go look at them. Shino thought about how some people would see his family and think they were not close. But they just did not show much emotion and were mostly quiet loner types. He knew his dad was proud of him, and that was all he needed. And he liked researching bugs with him. 

When Naruto and Hinata got to their house, outside of it was Ino. Hinata, what happened? I saw you got pulled out of class with Naruto, Hinata, Shino, Sasuke, and Chojuro. Wwe all got one of the 7 swords of the mist, and we will be the next 7 swordsmen of the mist. Really!!!! That is a great new Hinata. You are going to be such a badass with a sword. Congratulations as well, Naruto! Thank you, Ino! I will go ahead and get you guys a cake and some onigiri for Sasuke. I will be right back. Thank you, Ino! You're welcome, Hinata! Hinata and Naruto walked inside, where they saw Kakashi and Anko inside their home. Guess what, you two? What Naruto? Hinata and I are going to be 2 of the 7 swordsmen of the mist! I got the Hiramekeri sword, and Hinata got the Nuibari sword! Wow, that is great news! Anko replied. Yeah, Itachi told me that Hinata has the same chakra nature as me, so I will be training you in lightning release, Hinata. Thank you, Kakashi Hinata bowed. Ma Ma Hinata, no reason to be so formal. This is great news. I am proud of you both. Ino was waiting outside of our house because she was worried. Right now she is getting a cake and bringing it over. Really? That is great news! I am sure you are happy that you have made such a great friend, Hinata. Anko saw Hinata get red in the face and was so happy for her. When they took her in, she was so quiet and timid. But with time and some prodding, she has watched Hinata grow out of her shell more. Anko knew that the ever-social Ino was a great influence on her, and she was happy for her. She felt so fulfilled helping Hinata through a similar process that Kurenai, her best friend from Konoha, helped her through all of those years ago. She knew that she should have told Kurenia that she was leaving. But she was worried that with Kurenia dating Asuma, that would put Kurenia in a position where she would not be able to follow them to the mist anyway. Did she miss her friend Kurenia? Yes, for sure. But she was building a home with Kakashi, and she was helping raise Naruto and Hinata, which was very fulfilling. On top of that, Kakashi and she were talking about getting married and having kids soon so they would have a little one walking around. She knew Hinata and Naruto would make such good older siblings; she could not wait. She was also very happy to see Naruto and Hinata growing closer. She could tell that Naruto had started to like Hinata back a little bit. Once she started to wear dress-designed ninja outfits that Ino suggested, she could see Naruto start blushing every once in a while over the past year. Naruto was starting to go through puberty, and she could tell that Naruto was starting to see Hinata in a "she's pretty kind of way." Hinata is always so nice and thoughtful to Naruto that she could tell that Naruto was feeling in a way that he liked her. But she could also tell that Naruto did not know what those emotions he felt toward Hinata meant. Since Naruto did not grow up around a mother or father figure, he really loved Kakashi and me so much. Hinata and he would get them presents for Father's and Mother's Day. A year ago, Naruto started calling her Kasan, which made her so happy. Anko had so many things to be thankful for. She could not believe her luck to have such a great home life.

Anko was brought out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door.Hi Ino, thank you for coming. Can I come in, Anko? Yes, Ino, you are always welcome. Here I brought cake. Ino walked in, and she could see the smile on Hinata's face walking in with the cake. Did you tell Anko about the swords? Yyeah Naruto told them both about us becoming swordsman Hinata replied. That is so great. I am so excited for you, Hinata. You are going to look so graceful fighting with your long sword. Ino could see the blush in Hinata's face after the compliment. Thank you, Ino. Congratulations to you as well, Naruto. Thank you, Ino. I am one step closer to Mizukage, believe it! Ino spent the next 2 hours at Hinata's place. HInata I am going to go congratulate Sasuke on being one of the new swordsmen. Ookay Ino, thanks for coming Hinata said before giving Ino a hug as she left the room.

Ino knocked on Sasuke's door. She saw Sasuke open the door and look confused. Hi Sasuke-kun, I heard from Hinata and Naruto that you are going to be one of the next 7 swordsmen of the mist. To congratulate you, I brought you some onigiri. Ino could see Sasuke's face get red from her thoughtful gesture. Um, thank you. You're welcome, Sasuke. Have a good rest of your day. Ino walked home happy that she got to congratulate her favorite people today. Sasuke walked back inside the house. Mindy and Mei came over to the Uchia house to congratulate Sausuke on him becoming a new 7 swordsman of the mist. They had already had dinner, so he went to go put the onigiri in the fridge. Who was that at the door, Sasuke? Itachi, it was Ino from class. She heard that I had become one of the 7 swordsmen of the mist. She gave me some onigiri, so put it in the fridge. Yeah, Ino likes Sasuke; she thinks he is so dreamy Mindy said to Itachi. Well, at least she is thoughtful as well, Sausuke. Yeah it looks like that girl is coming for your heart Sasuke Mei said to him. Itachi, Mindy, and Mei all grinned at Sasuke. Yeah, I guess Sasuke grinned back. Sasuke was reminded then of the people he wished were still alive. He really wished his mom was here to celebrate today. And his father as well. He wished that he could see them smile again. Feel what it felt like to be around his mother again. He wished that he could go shopping with her and eat one of her home-cooked meals. His eyes started to tear up, and then he ran upstairs. Mei, Mindy, and Itachi all looked worried about Sasuke. Itachi was about to walk up the stairs when Mei put a hand on Itachi's shoulder and said, Things like this need a womens touch Itachi Mei said and then kissed Itachi on the forehead and went upstairs. 

Sasuke I am coming in. Mei walked in and saw Sasuke crying in the corner of the room. Mei walked over to hug Sasuke while he was crying. Sasuke went away from her and said, You are not my mom! Itachi told me he is going to propose to you soon, but you will never be my mom. My mom always cared about me. She always made me breakfast. She took me shopping with her. She would listen to me when I was feeling jealous of Itachi and how much attention he got from my father. She would always tell me that my father cared for me as well. She took me shopping with her. She smiled when I came back home from school. She told me she loved me all the time. My mom was the nicest person in the world. You will never be my mom! Mei knew that Sasuke just missed his mother and was taking it out on her. So she did not let that verbal outburst get to her. She did not want him to feel alone when his emotions were breaking down. Mei gently pulled up Sasuke's chin, made eye contact with him, and spoke. I am very happy that you had such a good mother, Sasuke. And even though our dynamic, once I marry Itachi, may look like a mother with her son due to the age gap. I completely understand that I will not replace your mother. I will treat you the exact way that I treat Mindy since we will be brother and sister by marriage. Will there be moments when I may come off motherly to you? Yes, but know that I am doing those things out of care for you. I am not doing those things to replace your mom. She poked Sasuke in the heart and said, You will always have your mom here. She will never leave you, and the memories will never go away. Mindy and I lost our parents in the bloodline purges. When we won the war, I felt extremely sad. Do you know why? No, Sasuke said back. Because when we have big moments, what we want to do is share those moments with the people we love most. So that is why on the day you got made one of the 7 swordsmen of the mist, you got sad. You got sad because you wish that your parents were here to celebrate with you. It is important for you to understand where your emotions come from when things like this happen. Just know that no matter if you are 10 or 90, you have a right to cry and feel sad about the sad things that have happened. Okay, Sasuke said back. I am sorry that I said those mean things to you. It's okay, Sasuke. Whenever you are ready to come back downstairs, go ahead and do so. There is no such thing as fast-forwarding while dealing with your sadness. Sasuke. Mei gave Sasuke a hug, and then Mei left the room. Sasuke really reminded her of Itachi when he first cried about doing the Uchiha massacre. Itachi and Sasuke were both very guarded with their emotions. So Sasuke doing something like that made sense. Itachi watched Mei walk down the stairs. He could not feel anything but grateful that he had found such a good woman to be his wife and a positive older female figure for Sasuke. Mei saw the grin on his face as he kissed her on the forehead and said thank you. I love you, Mei. I love you to Itachi.
