Naruto: Scrolls of the Dragonborn

Zitsukani's eyes flutter as his consciousness returns. The sphere he was in burst open as he dropped to the ground. Struggling to open his eyes, his vision was blurred, and as he tried to move his limbs, they felt foreign to him. His entire body was bigger, and his limbs were longer, making it difficult to suddenly control.

Closing his eyes, he saw that his levels were still the same, but his stats had changed.

[Health 110] [Chakra 255] [Stamina 120] [20 Points]

His chakra saw the biggest impact, increasing by over 100. Now the other four had about as much chakra as he had before. Opening his eyes, his vision began to clear up.

Looking around, he saw Chojuro and the other four still in the orbs. Their appearances had completely changed from before. Before, they all had fairly chubby faces, so they all looked the same to him, himself included. But now they looked like individual humans.

Chojuro's rectangular eyes were more pronounced with his plain-looking face. If it wasn't for his spiky blue hair, he would look like a normal person with his thin brows, thin nose, and thin lips.

Taisho had become very lanky, on top of being very pale. His arms were overly long, and his green hair had grown down to his shoulders. If he didn't know better, he would think he was a pale monkey.

The girls looked more similar now than they did before. One had red hair down her back, and the other to her shoulders. They had round eyes, a small nose, and small lips.

Looking at them, he wondered if he looked more like the character he created. Wiggling for a bit, he slowly gained a bit of control of his body. Pushing off the ground, he rose to his feet.

Looking around, he saw no one else. "It would probably take longer if I wasn't used to having a bigger body."

Shaking a bit, he looked at the orbs one more time before heading to the exit. The more he walked, the broader his smile got.

"Being a more suitable size is definitely better." Reaching the exit, he opened the door. Seeing the familiar stairs, he realized it had only been a week for him, but three years for everyone else. Thinking up to here, his brows furrowed.

"I wonder how my mom is doing." Not wanting to waste more time, he began to ascend the stairs. Soon he broke out into a full sprint up the stairs.

What took an eternity before only took a couple of minutes now. Arriving at the top, he looked around. Seeing no one at the desk, he walked out of the academy.

Upon arriving outside, Zitsu was hit by the mist like a ton of bricks. He scanned the area and saw a huge crowd gathering in front of the Mizukage building.

"What happened?" He pondered for a moment before making his way towards the crowd.

As he pushed through the mass of people, the crowd grew larger and larger. Zitsu continued to make his way closer to the front.

"The Lord Sandaime Mizukage died valiantly in battle to secure the Three Tails from falling into Kumo's hands. To solidify his new position as Raikage, A and his brother Killer B led a team and charged into the Land of Water. When the Three Tails was revived after it was stolen from us, it was almost taken again."

After a few more minutes of struggling, Zitsu finally reached the front of the crowd. He was shocked at what he saw. His eyes trembled, and his body began to shake. He was probably the only fan to ever see this scene.

On the stage stood ten people. Mei was wearing her classic blue dress but with less cleavage. To her right stood a young Utakata, the six-tailed jinchuriki, wearing black clothing and a blue flak vest, with his headband securely tied to his head. The most shocking were the seven swordsmen standing behind them.

In the center stood the fat man Fuguki Suikazan, with his long orange hair and Kiri forehead protector. He wore a large white coat with black sleeves, black pants, and ninja shoes. His white pupils, green face stripes, and shark teeth gave him an oppressive feeling. He had the legendary sword Samehada wrapped in cloth on his back.

To his right was Jinin Akebino, who appeared rather short compared to those at his side. His brown hair was tied in a topknot, held in place by his Kiri head cap. His large nose and goatee covered half of his angular-shaped face. Most of his body was covered by a purple poncho, and he wore pinstriped arm and leg warmers. He held a large axe and hammer connected by a string, along with the legendary sword Kabutowari.

Next to him was a tall and lanky man, Kushimaru Kuriarare, wearing an Anbu mask with a triangle at the mouth area and slits for eyes, and a Kiri symbol at the top. He wore a sleeveless black shirt, black pants, and ninja boots, as well as the same arm and leg warmers. Strapped to his back was the sword Nuibari, a long needle-like object with a long wire wrapping around his arm.

The person to the far right was Raiga Kurosuki, also wearing an Anbu mask. His mask had short curved eye-holes, a mischievous smile, and two red wave designs on the top and bottom on the left side. He wore a black long-sleeve shirt with a blue flak jacket, black pants, and ninja shoes. At his waist hung the twin lightning blades, Kiba.

To the left of Fuguki is Juzo Biwa, a tall and slender man. His hair and eyes are dark gray, and his hair is short and spiky. He has a cross-shaped scar on his right cheek and a red grid-shaped marking covering his jaw. He's wearing a black, tight-fitting sleeveless shirt with two light, thin stripes on his chest, a striped cloth belt, and light pants, along with black arm covers extending from his hands to his biceps. Bandages cover his neck, chin, and the side of his face and ears. In his right hand is the executioner blade Kubikiribocho, which he is resting on his shoulder.

Next to him is a man he doesn't recognize, besides the fact that he is one of the people who should die in around two years to Duy. He's wearing a dark blue striped shirt and pants with camo leg warmers. His face is rather plain, but his dark blue mohawk gathers all the attention. On his back, wrapped in cloth, is the twin-handled sword Hiramekarei.

On the far left is Jinpachi Munashi. He has long brown hair and a long beard, all of which are tied into locks and decorated with beads. The top of his head is wrapped in bandages and his forehead protector. His left eye is covered with an eye patch that's tucked under the headband. He's wearing an extremely loose long-sleeved pin-striped shirt, and on his legs are black pants and leg warmers with ninja boots. On his back hangs the blastsword Shibuki.

Looking at the seven swordsmen of the mist alive and in one place causes his heart to beat rapidly. Looking at Samehada, the corners of his lips curl into a broad smile. 40% of the reason he came to this village was to acquire that sword. And the window he has to acquire it before Kisame is short, maybe four years or so, but he has too little information to go on, so he can't be sure.

Looking at the speaker, he sees it is Madame Yan.

"Lord Third Mizukage sacrificed himself to push back the enemy, buying enough time for Yagura to act. Seeing the disadvantaged situation, he made a bold move, because the three tails just revived and was in a weakened state, he decided to risk his life and seal the three tails into his own body!" The old lady's voice raises as she scans the crowd.

"Together with members of the Mei, Utakata, the seven swordsmen, and the Anbu, they fought the entire way back to the village, losing many men." Madame Yan closes her eyes and raises her hands.

"But with great disaster comes a great blessing. Because the three tails was in a weakened state, and an impeccable match, Yagura was able to completely suppress the three tails and control his power, making him a perfect jinchuriki! The second one in the whole world!" She clenches her fist in the air.

The crowd goes wild with cheers and screaming. Looking around, Zitsu is stunned.

"Kumo is considered unbreachable because of their perfect jinchuriki, Killer B! But now we have one too!" She sweeps her hand forward. "As the only surviving elder, I nominate Yagura Karatachi as Yondaime Mizukage! Does anyone dare object?"

"HUUUUUUUYAAAAAA!"

The entire area erupts with cheers, the sound so loud he can feel his body vibrating. His hands tremble and become clammy as he knows what comes next.

Madame Yan pulls out a blue kage hat and hands it to Yagura.

Taking the hat, he looks at it for a moment, tightening his grip around the rim. After taking a deep breath, he puts it on and takes a step forward before opening his mouth to address the crowd.

"One cannot truly understand the weight of this simple hat until they wear it," he says, scanning the crowd with his eyes. "The Mizukage is supposed to protect his people, and Lord Third died to do just that." His hands begin to tremble. "The Third's death was because he loved his people and was too kind, but I will do what I must," he continues, taking another step forward.

"The reason Kumogakure was able to pressure us is that they outnumber us three to one. Half of the ninja in the Land of Water are hiding in their clans and fighting for their own interests, not Kiri's. The bloodline clans that wished to join Kiri have already been wiped out by other clans, fearing their power, crippling our potential strength," he says, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.

Slowly opening his eyes, he scans the crowd before continuing. "I will extend the same option to them. No more individual clans. Those who refuse to join shall be purged by the full might of Kiri. How can we deal with the dragons at our gate with snakes in our yard?" His eyes turn vicious as a red chakra cloak begins to form around him.

"Join or die! I will turn this mist red if I must!"
