Wind Hokage

A/N - I found this story while going some other stories I've been working on. I decided to post it up and see how it goes. Reviewing my notes I've made some changes from the orginal story. But I hope you like it.

Chapter 1: Hero's Return

"Man, this place has gotten boring." Hagane Kotetsu complains behind the front desk.

"I agree, wish Naruto was back, we could use some accidents and laughs." Kamizuki Izumo stated.

"Too true. His pranks always brighten up our day." Kotetsu replied.

"Maybe if you two weren't sleeping in on the job you would have notice someone is back." A young kunoichi replied.

"Huh."

A young man walks through the gates with clothes similar to the ANBU. A blue vest was seen instead of the usual armor ANBU wore.

What immediately caught their attention was his wild blonde hair.

"Naruto?" Kotetsu replied.

"Yea, there is no mistake." Izumo replied.

"Tsunade-sama is going to be excited to see her favorite blonde back." Kotetsu replied.

"He's the only blonde besides her." Izumo joked as they both laugh.

"Boys." She replied as she grabbed the reports and left.

Naruto walk calmly through the streets not even making a single sound.

"Oh, isn't that…"

"That boy… that's right."

"He's back."

Naruto didn't give enough people a chance to look at him again. He just vanished before their eyes. To them, he was like a replica of the Yondaime Hokage.

Naruto leap in the air and landed on a post looking down upon the village. His hair was long and wilder than ever, making him look like the Fourth more and more. His baby fat was gone which was obvious to intense physical training. On his back was a katana. Its hilt was wrapped with black tape. Naruto merely stared at the Hokage faces and felt the breeze of the village.


Tsunade was writing on some paper when she senses a familiar chakra nearby.

"Jiraiiya, your back much later than you said you would be." Tsunade replied. In the window, in squiting position, was Jiraiya. He wore his usual grin.

"Sorry, the kid was persistent on perfecting his new jutsu." Jiraiya replied.

"Where is he?"

"In the market I expect. He wants to see Konoha again."

"Funny, I sent Sakura down there. I like to see that reunion."

"I also notice your head is on."

Tsunade grew a vein knowing she was getting tick off. But she calm down knowing he was referring to her statue head on the Hokage monument.

"I've greatly improved the Konoha's medical program. They added my face for that." Tsunade replied. Jiraiya said nothing. For a Hokage to get their face on the monument, they had to do something during the village during their reign that other shinobi's could not do. The First built the entire village and even stopped Uchiha Madara and the Kyuubi no Yoko from destroying the village. The Second Hokage greatly improved Konoha's military tactics and even sacrifice himself to save his fellow shinobi's. The Third was a master of ninjutsu and greatly improved the ninja academy by creating it. The Fourth gave the ultimate sacrifice and sealed the Kyuubi no Yoko into his only son when it mysterious was set loose near Konoha. He was hailed as Konoha's greatest Hero. For Tsuande to greatly improve Konoha's medical researches and resources, meant they would lose less shinobi's on the front lines.

"That's good Tsunade-hime, I doubt I could have gotten my face on the monument." Jiraiya replied.

"Most likely you would have done something perverted."

"You know me too well Tsunade-hime."

"Let's go collect Naruto shall we."

"Right behind you; Tsunade-hime."


"Naruto?" a young woman called out. Naruto looks down to see his old teammate standing there.

"Sakura." Naruto replies. He jumps down and lands in front of her.

Sakura heard what he said and felt a little pain in her heart without him saying '-chan' next to her name. Sakura was about to respond when she notices something.

"You've gotten taller than me."

"Oh yea, Ero-Sensei started me on a more healthy diet." Naruto replied.

"You've… become more mature…" Sakura replied unable to believe her eyes.

"I guess. What do you think Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked.

"Well, one thing is for sure, you have grown. I trust you came back because you finish your training."

"Did you think I came back here without learning anything?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi look at him in surprise. In truth Kakashi was expecting Naruto to brag about his new found abilities.

"Well, you have grown up. And you're much wiser than I expected. I can only hope you've become stronger."

"I'm sure you are." Naruto replied with a smiling matching Kakashi's famous eye smile.

"Well, good thing we are about to see just how well you took your training." Tsunade voice replied as she walks forward with Shizune and Jiraiya.

"I have to fight Kakashi-sensei." Naruto stated.

"You both will have too." Tsunade replied. Naruto merely smirked.

"I'm ok with that. If Kakashi-sensei wins, he will get this as a prize." Naruto replied holding up a new Icha Icha Paradise book. Kakashi looked at it in shock and his fingers were desperate to grab the book from Naruto.

Naruto put the book away in his kunai pouch and waited for the Hokage to continue. Tsuande however, punch Jiraiya.

"You turn him into a pervert." Tsunade shouted.

"I swear I didn't. He's a real lady killer. The moment he dropped his childish ways, the girls would chase him for miles." Jiraiya replied as he tried to dodge Tsunade's fists.

"Shouldn't we continue on with the test?" Naruto asked.

"Very well, it will be Hatake Kakashi vs. Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto."

"Is that fair? Shouldn't Sakura be on Kakashi-sensei's team?" Naruto asked. Sakura looked at him, feeling hurt.

"Naruto, I'm not the same as I once was." Sakura declared.

"Studying under Tsuande-baa-chan, I didn't expect you would be weak when I came back. No, I suggest that because I don't think Kakashi can handle me on his own. And I really haven't work in a team for nearly three and a half years. So you will most likely be getting in my way."

"Jiraiya?" Tsunade asked as she listening to the conversation.

"I would recommend for Sakura to team with Kakashi to take on Naruto." Jiraiya replied. Tsunade gave him a look that was questioning his decision. Tsunade nodded, knowing she was going to talk to Jiraiya later about Naruto. She merely nodded and they soon head off towards the famous training ground of Team 7.

Kakashi hung back with Jiraiya, Tsunade and Shizune.

"Why are you having Sakura team up with me?" Kakashi asked.

"I had to tell Naruto his heritage." Jiraiya replied. The three adults look at him in shock.

"The kid wouldn't train until he found out who his parents were. After a month of him nagging me, I told him the full truth. Well, the truth as I knew of. It hit him and put a new desire in him. He also grew wiser and has stopped chasing Uchiha Sasuke."

"What did you teach him?"

"He started his mother clan's specialty. So he is knows fuinjutus's. He isn't near a master, but he is highly skilled. He can use seals in combat so be careful. He is also aware of the Kage Bunshin special ability. I've taught him water and wind jutsu's. Then I had some friends teach him so advance chakra control and genjutsu. I met an associate who taught Naruto the way of the Samurai. He also started working on creating new jutsu's. Kakashi, you will be glad for Sakura's aid. Naruto learn his father special in speed and chakra attacks. He took after his father. He will be very fast, so make sure you don't underestimate him." Jiraiya warned.


In no time word spread throughout the village that Naruto was back and he would be fighting Hatake Kakashi. ANBU to Genin's all came over to watch were Naruto was standing across from Haruno Sakura and Hatake Kakashi.

Kakashi hold up a single bell.

"You know what you need to do Naruto. Unless you take this bell, you fail. You have until dawn." Kakashi replied.

"Are you going to read your book?" Naruto asked in a mock tone. Kakashi grabbed his hietai.

"Not this time. I feel like, I have to go serious against you this time." Kakashi replied as he lifts his forehead protector, showing his infamous sharingan eye.

Naruto smiled and grabbed his sword. Sakura grabbed her gloves and put them up, ready for a fight.

Kakashi reach for his pouch for some shirukens and Naruto rushed forward. Kakashi's eyes open wide.

'He's fast.'

Kakashi leap to the side and toss the shirukens. Naruto leap to the side and Kakashi turns to him to see he had a hand seal already set.

'Not good.'

"Futon: Boufuu Yari" Naruto shouted. A long stream of air blew at mouth at and Kakashi. Kakashi curse and leap away as it created a large creator in the ground. Dust and rocks flew everywhere. Kakashi then realize Naruto's plan.

Bring out a kunai; he deflected the shiruken's with his kunai before he leap back, avoiding Naruto's sword, that swing inches at his face.

'He has… truly improved, in more than one field.'

Naruto leap back to the dust and vanished inside. Because of the jutus, the chakra was still in the air and Kakashi was blind from Naruto's chakra.

The dust soon cleared and Naruto was nowhere to be seen. Sakura scan the area before she punches the ground. The ground burst open, but Naruto still couldn't be found.

"Futon: Senpuu" Naruto shouted above them. Kakashi looked up in shock, but covered his face when wind started to pick up around and small tornado's formed around him.

Naruto moved in for the killed, using the sun to block Kakashi's field of vision. Kakashi seeing this, back away. Naruto threw his katana at Kakashi causing Kakashi to leap to the side to avoid it. Naruto delivered a powerful kick to Kakashi's head who was shock at what happen.

'Well plan. The Katana was a distraction. He knew I couldn't risk catching or deflecting that. It was a wise move.' Kakashi smiled. He brought his forearm up, blocking Naruto's kick. Naruto flips his body and his hands were in another seal of the ram. "Futon: Kaze Ya"

Kakashi eyes open wide and small streams of arrows were fired from his mouth, Kakashi took several hits before he disappeared into a log. Naruto moved his eyes towards the branch and formed several seals again. "Futon: Kaze Ya." Naruto cried and a dozen wind arrows flew towards Kakashi hiding place. Kakashi open his eyes wide. He dodges them as the wind arrows easily went through the tree. Naruto duck as Sakura appeared behind him, and dodge her first. He could see they were chakra enhance. He knew he would have several seconds before Kakashi would join the battle.

Naruto leap to the side as Kakashi appeared.

'No question, his taijutsu and ninjutsu as greatly improved. However, let's see how well he reacts towards Genjutsu.'

But Kakashi wasn't foolish. He couldn't do Genjutsu in the open. Naruto would expect that and react immediately.

Naruto stopped and grabbed Sakura's fist. Everyone stood there shock. None was more shock then Sakura.

Naruto punch her in the stomach and stood there calmly.

"How did you?"

"I study your muscle movement and how you gather your chakra. I used my Toshikeshi no jutsu to stop your fist." Naruto explain.

'That's impressive. But in order for that to work, he must read the exact movement and power within the chakra. To stop element chakra means your own chakra must match it to stop it. Most impressive. Perhaps he can teach me.' Kakashi thought with a smile.

Naruto stood there calmly. Sakura formed some seals and Naruto narrowed his eyes.

'Shosen jutsu? This is… a medical ninja's combat style… Chakra no Mesu. I better stay back.'

Naruto jumps back and created two Kage Bunshin's. Both charged at Sakura.

Kakashi stood back watching.

They didn't use ninjutsu, they just engaged in a pure taijutsu match. Sakura easily disabled the clones.

'She's just as skilled as Kabuto was with chakra no mesu three years ago. That's impressive… but it's still too dangerous to get near.' Naruto looks at his sword. 'Looks like I have used those two jutsu.'

"Futon: Kaze Shini" Naruto called as several two bladed scythe launch themselves at Sakura. Sakura seeing the danger jump away but the blades twist and turn and Sakura received a dangerous hit in the leg. Kakashi dodge underground.

Sakura wince and began to heal her leg.

Naruto leap over her, heading towards his sword standing out of the ground. He looks back and eyes her carefully.

'That wound will take a lot of her chakra. She's out. Now I have to deal with Kakashi.'

Naruto grabbed his sword and immediately felt something strange about his body.

'Genjutsu?'

The world was spinning as if it was trap within a vortex. Naruto body seemed to be turning into mud.

"Kai." Naruto mutters as he focuses his chakra on breaking the genjutsu. Nothing happen and the genjutsu started getting worse.

'Let's see you break out of this genjutsu Naruto. This genjutsu is one of my strongest.' Kakashi thought as he appeared on a tree branch. Using as much chakra as possible to his sharingan eye.

Naruto was calmly thinking about his situation. He started annualizing the situation. It was something Jiraiya had him do before do any kind of combat.

'Now I see, this Genjutsu is trap by the user and to increase its power and abilities, Kakashi-sensei uses his sharingan to pin the opponent and the genjutsu together. Smart, this puts so many people at a disadvantage.'

Flashback

"Why, why do I have to train with this old geezer about Genjutsu Ero-sennin." Naruto whined towards the old man."

"Baka, this man has train generations of genjutsu in Konoha. Even Yuhi Kurenai was his student, and she never completed her training." Jiraiya shouted.

"Kurenai-sensei?"

"Even Uchiha Itachi studied under him for quiet some time." Jiraiya replied.

"Jiraiya, I can speak for myself. Since I started training Genjutsu to the next generation of Konoha shinobi's, not one has completed their training. Uchiha Itachi came the closest. But even he, could not complete his training." He replied.

'Who is this old man?'

"I'm Ten Ichi… Konoha's Master Illusionist." He replied as he looks smug about his title.

"Never heard of you." Naruto replied and his face drop.

"So, how do I break out of Genjutsu. One time, Kurenai-sensei used Genjutsu on me and I was helpless."

"Your best bet is to stop your chakra flow."

"And if that doesn't work?"

"Then your doom." Naruto face faulted. "It's best to have comrades to break the genjutsu."

"What if you don't and you have to break it. Is there a way to disturb your own chakra without outside interference?" Naruto asked.

"Hmm, never tried that. I guess it's possible. The Hyuuga clan is well known for that ability."

Flashback Ends

Kakashi's eyes open wide as he read Naruto's chakra. It was increasing. At the same time, it was decreasing.

'Impossible. To both increase and decrease his chakra is not possible.'

The genjutsu vanished and so did Naruto.

"Futon: Kensaki" Naruto voice replied. The tip of his sword glowed before it fired from the katana and into Kakashi's shoulder blade. Kakashi leap away and look behind him to see Naruto was behind him. Naruto stabbed Kakashi who block with his arm. Kakashi open his eyes at once and realize the wind chakra was leaking into body.

"You loose." Naruto replied. Naruto removed the sword and Kakashi felt he could move again. Naruto toss back the bell, making Kakashi wonder when he manage to take it.

"You got me. How did you move so fast?"

"I used my Jinsoku no Jutsu. It's similar to Shunshin no Jutsu."

"It's impressive. No doubt you design for combat use."

'Looks like we got a new Senko of Konoha.'

Naruto gave Kakashi the new book and waved goodbye. He vanished again.

"That kid. Never ceases to amaze."

"That's was a good job Kakashi. You did well Sakura." Tsunade replied as she walks towards them with Jiraiya and Shizune.

"What do you think?" Tsunade asked.

"It was clear he was holding back. But his skills are no longer Genin level. Not even the Chuunin's will be able to stand against him." Kakashi replied.

"I think it's appropriate to promote him to Jounin. He shows he has enough skills to be Jounin." Tsunade replied.

"That is true, even if he got's lots left to learn." Kakashi nodded.


Naruto reappeared in town. He was hungry and decided to get something to eat. Instead of getting some ramen, he walks into a local barbeque and sat down.

"Hello today sir… Uzumaki Naruto? You've come back!"

"I came back this morning. Had some tests to do against Kakashi-sensei. I'm just here because I'm hungry; need to refill my energy." Naruto replied.

"We don't have ramen as well as…"

"That's ok. I'll take some barbeque teriyaki chicken." Naruto replied to the waiter. The waiter nodded. "And too drink?"

"Green Tea will be fine."

Naruto went to sit down and the tea soon arrived. Naruto reaches to grabs it. Before he could touch it, it cracked.

'The tea cup cracked before I could touch it. Either my chakra level is way too strong… or something terrible is going to happen. What an ill omen.'


"Kazekage-sama, the meeting is about to start." Baki replied kneeling before his leader.

"Understood." Gaara replied.
