~~Well I've been reading a lot of Naruto fics lately and recently got into RWBY and fell in love with their weapons, characters, music, and charisma. And I felt let's see how those weapons would fit in the Naruto verse. Don't get me wrong I like Naruto going to Vale and all but that mostly how most crossovers go. Majority Naruto goes to other place and happens in Naruto even less. So I thought let's have a little fun and put elements of RWBY into Naruto and thus The Leaf's Golden Blast was born. Naruto will be getting Yang's Ember Celica and Semblance which will receive modifications to fit into the series. How he got the weapons you have to see. Pairings I may go Fem!Haku or Yugito or fuu. Or have one of the RWBY characters. I will have a few chapters where Naruto ends up in vale and meets his 'counterparts'. I'll let you guys decide for now. Btw I drew inspiration from Kuroisenkou's "Red like Roses" so props to that genius of an author awesome writer check him out.~~

Jutsu and other techniques
Deep within the forest on the outskirts of the Village Hidden in The Leaves, a single boy dressed in an orange and blue jumpsuit with a white collar and red swirl on the back was holding a large scroll. The boy stood at around 155cm with wild spiky blonde hair with a red tips and bangs that would cover his eyes were it not for the bulky goggles he wore on his forehead. Lightly tanned skin that helped make his amethyst eyes shine bright. To top it off on each cheek were three whisker like birthmarks were located.
'That was so easy! Heh heh praise the log for the sexy jutsu. Who knew that Jiji was an old perv, even though he's fell for it before. I'm awesome!' thought the flame head known as Naruto Uzumaki, the leaf's resident prankster king, class idiot, orphan, and local jinchūriki of the leaf for the past thirteen years. 'Let's see what we have in here. Just gotta learn one jutsu like Mizuki-Sensei said and I'll pass for sure.'
Naruto took the scroll of his back once he reached a clearing in the forest next to a shack. Once the scroll was on the ground he felt it looking for the edge to open it and "Ouch, paper cut." He yelped as he opened the scroll leaving the blood on his left thumb. He un-rolled the scroll stopping at the first jutsu which was next to a strange storage seal next to it on the left. "hmmm Shadow clone Jutsu?" he muttered out loud as if tasting the words. 'I suck at the clone jutsu, I doubt I'll be able to do much, but hey what the hell it only has one hand sign.' Cracking his fingers Naruto set both hands on the scroll in order to better look at it in the moon light. As he did the blood that he had left over on his hand made contact with the storage seal next to the Shadow Clone Jutsu resulting in a loud 'POOF' of smoke.
"Huh?" said Naruto out loud to himself as he looked at where the puff of smoke waving his hand to speed up the process. "What the?" he said as he looked at a letter that suddenly appeared face down with a spiral, like the one on his back, used to keep it closed where the storage seal was. Naruto reached for it and turned it over only to find out that the letter was addressed to him, Naruto Uzumaki N******* it said with the third name on the letter scribbled out as if not wanting him to know. Pondering over the strange letter for about two seconds Naruto quickly opened it to read it contents not knowing that he would find would be a gift from Kami herself.
My dearest Naruto,
If you are reading this letter than I guess I did not make it and you father's gut was right and something did happen to me and/or him and you've finally become a genin or did something awesome like steal the scroll of seals. But anyway let me introduce myself. My name is Kushina Uzumaki. My likes are a certain flakey blond, the food of the Gods also known as ramen, my hair, the log, and my friends. I dislike tomatoes, being called a tomato, and Kumo. And my dreams for the future were to be a great wife, a kickass kunoichi, and a loving mother. But not just anyone's mother Naruto, a mother to my beautiful twin children Naruto and Mito Uzumaki. That's right Naruto I am your mother and there is so much I have to tell you if I am not there to do it in person.
Naruto stared at the letter in shock. Pure unadulterated shock. In a span of a few moments he learned that he not only had a mother that is apparently no longer with him, but a SISTER! Tears started to form at the edges of his eyes as a million thoughts passed through his head. Where was his sister if he never met her? Was she dead too? Did she hate him like the rest of the village? Was she taken from him? WHERE was his father in all of this? He knew the only way to get answers was to keep on reading so he did.
Oh the things I have to tell you. I guess I can tell you about our clan. That's right the Uzumaki clan who hailed from Uzushio and known for our sealing prowess, longevity, dense chakra, and our kekkei genkai known as Aura and Semblance. Okay aura is not exactly a kekkei genkai but we Uzumaki were not only blessed with long lives and strong chakra but a strong affinity towards spiritual chakra which lets us form protective barriers, quickened healing, and chances to enhance our attacks with it. The strength of one's aura varies with the strength of one's soul. If you haven't unlocked you aura yet don't fret Sochi all you have to do is hold the dragon hand sign and say the phrase, 'with the Uzumaki blood that flow through my veins, aura I ask for you guidance and strength to persevere through life.'
Stopping for a sec and wanting to know what Aura was like Naruto set the letter down gently, crossed his legs and formed the dragon sign and repeated the phrase to unlock his Aura. "With the Uzumaki blood that flow through my veins, aura I ask for you guidance and strength to persevere through life."
And as if by magic Naruto felt a new surge of energy course through him. Surrounding his body was a bright gold outline of energy coated him from head to toe. His amethyst eyes and flame like hair standing out more with the contrast of color. He felt safe, warm,…loved. It felt a million times better than when Ayame-nee, Neko-Nee, or even his Jiji's own hugs. After basking in the new sensation for a while longer Naruto let it die down only to continue learning about his mother.
And what people consider the 'true' kekkei genkai of the Uzumaki clan is our semblance. The biggest thing about semblance is that it varies from Uzumaki to Uzumaki. The abilities that semblance grants is vast ranging from super speed, super strength, pyrokinesis, Ferrokenisis, and other abilities limited to one's imagination. My semblance ability allowed me to generate golden chains of Aura that were strong enough to hold just about anything down and were neigh unbreakable. I swear 'ttebane that they were awesome, your Kaa-chan kicked so much ass ya'know.
"'ttebane?" Naruto mused with tears streaming down his eyes. "guess she really was my mother 'ttebayo!"
I'll tell you how to unlock you semblance in a bit that can wait for now. Anyway enough about the clan, that was in the past. I'm sorry to say Sochi but the clan was wiped out when Mizu, Kumo, and Iwa invaded our home during the end of the second shinobi war.
Naruto looked down at the letter in sadness. "Guess I really am alone." He said to himself thinking that his sister left him.
Luckily I was out of the village during that time to take on the biggest burden I hope I never have to pass on to you or Mito. I was brought to The leaf for the sole purpose of taking on my great-aunt Mito's burden. That task was to become the jinchūriki or human sacrifice for the Kyuubi no Kitsune. I was branded as the jinchūriki for the beast with the seal on my navel. I thought my life was over when I found out. But luckily Mito-Oba told me the secret to dealing with being a jinchūriki. And you want to know what she told me? Love. Love was the key to living a happy life even with the burden that was trusted upon us. Now Naruto I want you to listen to you kaa-chan very carefully now. If I'm gone then there leaves two people that can take my place as jinchūriki for the Kyuubi. Forgive me Naruto but only you or your sister can take my spot as jinchūriki since only and Uzumaki can hold it down. I'm so sorry. (Naruto found that last bit hard to read as it was stained with drops of something.)
Naruto froze as he read that. Dissecting what he just read in his mother's letter. Thirteen years ago the Kyuubi attacked the village, according to his mother the very same Kyuubi sealed within her. On the very same day he and his sister were born. Then he slowly played his life back. Being kicked out of the orphanage, stores, and library while people muttering about 'demons not deserving the niceties of human.' then to the stares and whispers of 'fox-brat' or even 'Kyuubi' with some of the more nasty villagers. The treatment, the beatings, the harassment it all made sense now. HE was the new jinchūriki to the Kyuubi. He became his mother's successor in the one thing she did not want to be succeeded in. But then the rest of his mother's words came to him. Love. He knew how to beat it. Suddenly his head was filled with images of his Ayame-nee, Teuchi-jiji, Neko-Nee, Karasu-Nii, Iruka-Sensei, Hokage-jiji, and then the image of his mother that he had in his head. (since he yet to have seen her.) All the times he had felt safe with them, loved by them, accepted by them. All those feeling came to him as he pondered the answer to the dilemma he now knew he faced. Slowly wiping his tears he smiled gently and promised to himself that he would make his mother proud and continue to find love and acceptance in the village. And he wouldn't be Uzumaki Naruto if he went back on his work. He always keeps his word and promises. That's his nindo, his ninja way.
But I know you can do it. I believe in you. It's my job as your mother to place my faith in you. Your father shares the same feelings and I know he loves and believes in you. I know I'm not saying much about your father but this is the one argument that he won. Which is really surprising with how stubborn I am 'ttebane! We agreed that unless you already knew about him you won't find out who he was until you made chunin or reached sixteen. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that he loves you.
Before I finish this letter there a few things I wanted to leave you. As customary for every Uzumaki parent, a parent must forge a weapon for their children that they will then use for the rest of their lives to go with their Semblance. Don't ask how but I call it instinct in how a parent can predict their child's semblance before they are born, I chalk it up to a gift that aura allows us. Anyways for you I crafted two Dual Ranged Shot Gauntlets I have yet to name since that honor comes down to you. They have two forms, inactive and active. While inactive they look like your standard golden bracelets, but via the magic of seals you can activate them with a pulse of chakra they should expand to encompass your hands and forearms as gauntlets acting as armguards too. Inside the gauntlets I've incorporated chakra capsules that store your chakra that will then allow you to shoot it out of the end of the gauntlets to shoot awesome blasts of chakra that can explode if you want them to or not all controlled with your thoughts. I'm awesome like that 'ttebane. The more chakra you pour into the seal that converts it into the blasts the more powerful it is. I made this for your Semblance ability.
Both your gauntlets are fortified with Uzumaki clan seals that feed of your aura to not only make them really durable, and I mean REALLY durable, it will also repair them should anything happen to them using your aura but also these seals make it so that only you, myself, Mito and your father could use them. I hope you find great use for these I put a lot of effort into them so DON'T BREAK THEM DATTEBANE!
The final gift I leave for you is a locket that I know will brighten up your day. It helped me whenever I faced though times. OH! Before I forget make sure you learn and take advantage of the Shadow clone Jutsu. Being an Uzumaki we can spam those suckers like crazy! And best of all we can use those clones to help with our training since we learn everything they learn cutting training by a lot.
Naruto smiled at that he was getting badass weapons made by his own mom to help him with his Semblance ability. 'TAKE THAT WHITE EYED TEMES AND PINK EYED BASTARDS or should I say bastard?!' he shouted in his head. Also taking note in remembering to learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu from the scroll once he was done. He was gonna learn it anyways, but he didn't read the part about the memory thing, that was awesome. But now he can take his mother's advice and make her proud at the same time. Reaching the last part of the letter Naruto had a bit of difficulty reading since what looked like tears stained the paper.
Naruto. Don't be picky. Eat lots and grow strong. Make sure that you bathe every day and stay warm. Also don't stay up late you need lots of sleep. And make friends. You don't need a lot of friends. Just a few ones you can really, really trust. I wasn't very good at it, but keep up with your studies and practice your ninjutsu hard. Remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. So don't get too depressed if you can't do something well. Respect your teachers and upperclassmen at the Academy. Oh, and this is important.. It's about the Three Prohibitions for a shinobi. Be extra careful about lending and borrowing money. Put your mission wages into your savings account. No alcohol until you're twenty.. Too much can ruin your health, so drink in moderation. Another Prohibition is women. I'm a woman, so I don't know too much about this but all you need to remember is that this world is made up of men and women so it's only natural to take an interest in girls. But just don't get hooked on bad women. Find someone just like me. Speaking of the Three Prohibitions, be wary of Jiraiya Sensei, you know. Be true to yourself. Have a dream and have the confidence to make that dream come true. There's so much. Oh, so much more that I want to pass on to you. I wish I could stay with you longer. I love you"
Your loving mother,
Kushina Uzumaki
I love you those words rang through Naruto's mind as he finished his mother's letter. A mix of tears of joy, sadness, relief, and a myriad of other emotions streamed down his cheeks like a river. He learned that he had a mother that loved him, one that wanted him, not one that abandoned him. Looking past his mother's farewell where four seals. Looking at them he saw that they were the same as the one he found the letter in so he did what he accidently did before and smeared some blood on the seals one at a time. The first poof revealed the golden bracelets his mother had made for him. They shone a brilliant gold even under the moonlight. He picked them up and snapped them close with the seals that acted like snaps to keep them closed. Remembering his mother's words he sent a pulse of chakra into them and the bracelets transformed into their active gauntlet form. He sent a few practice swings before cocking his fist back and pulsing his chakra and 'BANG' a blast of chakra rocketing out the front of the gauntlets looking like a fireball came out.
"Cool 'ttebayo! I'm going to kick so much ass with this!" he exclaimed with wide eyes and a large goofy grin on his face. Simply wishing for the gauntlets to revert back to their bracelet form allowed him more movement with his hands before something came to him as if he knew all along.
Strength of the Phoenix the more damage I take or the stronger my emotions the hotter and more powerful my aura becomes in the heat of battle and in turn the more powerful I become. With the added bonus of gaining immunity to fire based damage when my aura burns golden hot.
"Whoa is that my semblance?" he pondered. 'Strength of the Phoenix huh? Isn't that those giant birds of fire? Hmmm?' he thought with a fist on his chin thinking. With a snap he shouted "I got it!" he said as he rubbed he bracelets "Ember Celica that's the perfect name for this." He said with a grin on his face.
"So cool!" exclaimed Naruto going over to the next seal revealing the gold locket he read about. It was a golden round locket with the Uzumaki clan swirl on it attached to a thin gold chain. On the side of locket was a golden clasp keeping it shut. Opening it revealed a beautiful woman in her early twenties in white and green clothes. Long flowing ruby red hair framing a heart shaped face revealing a pair of beautiful amethyst eyes and radiant smile. His beautiful amethyst eyes. He had his mother's eyes, face and part of her hair if the red tips were anything to go by. But that wasn't what caught his attention it was the swollen belly she was lovingly caressing. 'That's me and…Mito' he thought with mixed emotions as tears flowed down his eyes. He clutched the locket to his heart and smiled a true smile. Not the fame smile he showed the villagers but one that showed true happiness. "thank you" he whispered while looking up towards the sky.
Wiping his tears he went to the final poof revealing a scroll with the Uzumaki swirl on it. Putting it away for later he went back to the scroll of seals to learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu. With the strength of his mother's love he will show people the new Uzumaki Naruto.
A few hours later we find the same flame haired kid sweating with dirt over his clothes. Suddenly a the bushes by him rustle and outcomes and angry scar faced Chunin.
"I'VE FOUND YOU! NARUTO!" yelled an enraged Iruka
"Heh heh guess you did sensei"
"Do you have any idea of what you've done?" he replied with steel in his voice
"Of course I do!" he stated enthusiastically "I take the scroll, come here, learn a jutsu and pass the make-up exam right?" he asked with a tilted head and squinted eyes.
"What? Naruto what make-up exam are you talking about?" asked the suspicious teacher now getting on edge.
"The make-up exam Mizuki-sensei told me about, he said to meet him here with the scroll" replied the flame head feeling something out of place.
"Naruto…" began the scared teacher having his suspicions confirmed "I'm sorry to tell you this but there is no make…*rustle swish*" suddenly a barrage of kunai and shuriken came out of the woods towards the duo "Look out! Naruto!" yelled the frantic teacher taking the weapons for his student.
"Sensei…why?"
"Yes Iruka tell me why you took the attack for the demon" spoke a smug Mizuki from the tree tops
"Naruto listen to me and run! Leave and get help! DO NOT let Mizuki get the scroll, he tricked you into taking it! GO!"
"But sensei…"
"Dammit Naruto I said leave!"
Starring wide eyed at his injured teacher Naruto couldn't help but freeze. Mizuki seeing this decided to have a little fun with the demon seeing as he was about to kill him.
"Hey Naruto!" he called out "want to know a little secret? A secret that has been kept from you since you were born?" he teased receiving a hesitant nod he continued "Thirteen years ago the Yondaime killed the Kyuubi when it attacked the village. But that was nothing but a lie. The truth was that he sealed it within you Naruto! You are the Nine-tailed fox! You are the monster that killed people of this village including Iruka's Parents as well as the Yondaime himself!" he exclaimed with glee upon seeing some reaction within the flame head.
"Naruto don't listen to him! You're not a monster!" Iruka yelled out trying to reach the blond, only to see him nod in acknowledgement.
"I know" he replied as if casually
"You do!? But how there was a law not letting anyone tell you!" replied a frantic Iruka
"Sensei I have a huge black seal that appears on my stomach every time I use chakra" he started only seeing seal a while ago while waiting for Mizuki to arrive when he remembered his mother say she was branded in the same area. "And it's not hard with people calling you 'fox-brat' and 'demon' under their breath when you pass by. I may act dumb but I still have a brain." He replied with a bit of a pout on the outside while on the inside a chibi Naruto was dancing and showing the peace sign for playing it off so easily. He was going to keep quiet about his mother for a while longer at least until he talked to his Jiji. That guy had some explaining to do.
'Damn here I thought I could cause some mental scarring before I killed him, o well.' thought the devious silver haired ex-teacher. "Well since I can't toy with you like that I'll settle for killing Iruka in front of you!" he exclaimed while throwing a large shuriken that he had strapped to his back. Iruka closed his eyes as he saw it coming knowing that he couldn't move with the weapons lodged in his back.
*CLANK*
That caused Iruka to look up in shock to see Naruto having blocked the shuriken with the golden bracelet he know wore. Naruto stood there with hand raised in blocking position with his flame like hair shadowing his eyes. "You can say and do whatever you want to me." He said in a low voice full of steel that caused the rouge chunin to pause "But if you ever! EVER! Touch Iruka-Sensei again…" He said as his hair that already reminded people of fire literally caught on fire. "I kill you!" he exclaimed as a small explosion of fire? Grew out of where he stood. Flames danced around his head and his once amethyst eyes burned a powerful scarlet with still round pupils.
'What is this power?!' thought Iruka while doing a great impersonation of a gaping fish 'Is the nine tails getting out?!" he pondered 'no this is different this feels as if nature itself is angry.' "Amazing" he breathed out
"So using your powers huh demon?" he asked with fake bravado secretly sweating on the inside. "Too bad you're still going to die!" he yelled as he threw his second giant shuriken and went through some hand signs and called out "Shadow Shuriken Jutsu" and the one shuriken became three.
As the shuriken came closer and closer Naruto brought up his fists as the Ember Celica go from bracelet from to their gauntlet form. 'Where did he get those from?' thought as they came to full size he cocked both fist and a *cha-chuk* was heard as he reared his fist back and punched the air only for a blast of chakra to come out every time he punched the air. *cha-chuk* was heard every time he launched a blast and reloaded the gauntlets with chakra. (Pumping the gauntlets fills it with the chakra needed to fire) all three shuriken were blasted out of the air being redirected somewhere else. 'Incredible…' thought the scarred chunin.
Rushing at Mizuki, Naruto pointed his Gauntlets downwards and blasted himself into the air. Once he reached the peak of his flight he pointed his arms backwards to propel himself forward at high speeds and punched the ground in front of Mizuki while firing to causing an explosion upon impact. Not being prepared for the improvised attack Mizuki jump back but not before taking a swipe at Naruto with his kunai. He missed Naruto but still got his hair, his precious hair. 'Oh Mizuki is so screwed' thought Iruka with a sweat drop. 'Last person to mess with Naruto's hair got the humiliation of a lifetime. Sasuke still doesn't know how he ended up tied to the ceiling of his fan-club's club house in nothing but boxers.'
Naruto just saw his few strands of hair fall down to the ground and time seemed to come screeching to a stop around him. Mizuki seeing this decided to rush Naruto while he looked at his hair. When he was a few inches away kunai in hand Naruto's aura exploded with his rage. Flames danced around his body and hair and scarlet eyes for the world to see. Mizuki was launched back from the force of the explosion skidding across the ground. Using his kunai and chakra Mizuki came to stop while looking at the raging inferno that was Naruto who was glaring murder at the ex-chunin. A concentration of flames appeared on Naruto's fist as he rushed at Mizuki with Jonin level speeds and landed a left uppercut that was angled to launch Mizuki crashing through a few trees.
"*pant**pant* DO. NOT. TOUCH. MY. HAIR 'TTEBAYO!" he exclaimed with fever towards the knocked out Chunin. Calming down he noticed that somehow in his anger his hair grew a bit, now he was sporting two jaw length bangs with red tips at the end that framed his face and had lost all the baby fat he had leaving nothing but lean muscle and grew what seemed a few centimeters leaving him at 165cm (5.5ft). Deciding not to look a gift horse in the mouth he made his way over to his downed teacher who managed to get the weapons out of his back. "You okay sensei?"
"yea I'm fine Thanks, Naruto" he replied with a gentle smile getting a sigh of relief from the blonde. "Naruto?" he called getting said blonds attention. "What was that just now? What where those flames and those strange gauntlets you had?"
"Oh. That? That was just something my mother left me." He replied with a melancholy tone while tugging on the locket around his neck lightly as if drawing strength from it. Seeing the look on his face Iruka decided to drop the subject for now and ask the hokage later. Looking over to the smoking Mizuki Iruka came to a decision.
"Naruto close your eyes for a sec." he asked while getting a compiling nod from the flame head and did as he was asked. Reaching up for his googles Iruka took those off followed by his own forehead protector with pride evident on his face. After wrapping it around Naruto's head Iruka spoke "alright Naruto open your eyes" when he did Naruto felt his forehead only for his eyes to go wide did tears swell up in the corners of his eyes. "Congratulations Naruto. For passing and officially becoming a genin of the leaf!" no sooner did those words leave his mouth did he find an emotional teenager wrapped around him. "Gah!" he exclaimed when Naruto put pressure on his back.
"SORRY! I'm so sorry sensei!" he replied while quickly letting go. "I was just so excited 'ttebayo! I'm finally a ninja!"
"Alright Naruto now as your superior" Iruka started with amusement in his voice. "We have to return the scroll to the hokage, get Mizuki to T&I, and get me to the hospital"
"Right Sensei!" he replied with a mock salute
"That won't be necessary" said a new voice in the clearing. Turning their heads they both face to…mask? With a squad of ANBU lead by "Neko-nee!" exclaimed Naruto seeing one of the closest people to his heart.
"Hello Naruto-kun." She replied with kindness and a rub on the head earning a pout from the boy. "Do not worry about the traitor we have him handled. We also brought a Mednin to tend to your wounds Iruka-san." She told the duo who looked relieved. When Mizuki was brought over all the ANBU nodded in approval towards the flame haired kid. "Nice job Naruto-kun. He'll definitely feel that in the morning"
Once the Mednin was done he nodded towards Iruka and the ANBU and used the Shunshin no jutsu out of there and head back to the hospital. "We'll take Mizuki to have a chat with Anko and Ibiki; I'd suggest you head to the hokage's office as he is expecting you two." Nodding Iruka placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder and used Shunshin no jutsu to head to his office.
"…and that's what happened" Naruto finished telling everything that happened in the forest to the hokage. There were a few moments of silence before the sandaime released the smoke from his lungs and looked at Naruto with sympathy.
"Naruto-kun I know this is a lot to take in and I know I lied to you about your parents but I felt it was the right thing to do." He said solemnly. "Imagine if you unlocked your bloodlines before and caused the people to panic seeing you on fire and thinking that the Kyuubi was getting out. And speaking of the Kyuubi I am glad you are taking it better than expected but I planned on telling you the day after you became genin anyways it's when I felt you'd be mature enough to handle it." He sighed at the end.
He was met with silence for a few moments before Naruto spoke up again "I guess I can understand Jiji, but that doesn't change the fact that it doesn't hurt." the sadness evident in his voice.
"I know Naruto-kun, but I had to make a decision that was better for the long run. Better a solution that has a lasting effect than a few moments of being fixed." said the aged hokage. "But back to your report. Let me start with how proud I am of you for protecting this village's scroll of seals and stopping a traitor. That forehead protector on your head was well earned." He said with evidence clear in his voice earning a smile that had the hokage seeing ghosts; to be precise it reminded him of a certain blond hokage that should have been sitting in his seat instead of him especially with those new bangs he had framing his face. "Now I'll put this down as a B-rank mission on your record and I'll add this pay to your final orphan stipend that you'll pick up tomorrow after dropping off your registration picture. Now I want you to get some rest tonight and get ready for the team selections in a few days from tonight. Now I ask that you excuse me for I have all this blasted paper work to finish." sighed the ageing hokage.
Looking at his Jiji doing that boring work had him remember something his mom told him in her letter. "Jiji why not just use Shadow clones?" asked the new genin. "Kaa-chan said in her letter that they passed the memories back to the original, so can't you use that for your work?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen froze at the teen's words. 'Shadow…Clones…' he thought in a dead tone. He turned his head towards the pictures of past hokage's on the wall and pointed an accusing finger at them "YOU KNEW ALL ALONG DIDN'T YOU!?" he shouted towards the pictures "That's how you finished so fast wasn't it Minato, sensei?" he asked with narrowed eyes. "Naruto" he said getting his attention back on him. "I'm giving you pay equal to an A-rank mission for solving the bane of all hokages, this will also go on your record." He said to the Naruto with joy and pride in his voice. Sarutobi picked up his fingers into a crossed seal and summoned three clones to do his work. Smiling at his work he excused Naruto from his office. Once Naruto was gone he quickly scanned the room and when it was all clear he reached under his desk when *click* a secret compartment opened up and from it he pulled out a familiar orange book. Opening up to where he left off he started giggling perversely while a blush appeared on his face with a streak of blood coming out his nose. Sometimes it pays to be hokage.
When Naruto got home that night he pulled out that extra scroll with the Uzumaki clan spiral on it and opened it up with another smear of blood. Inside the scroll were seals categorized as such; Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, Fuinjutsu, chakra control techniques, a book, and weapon forging guides. Smiling at what was in front of him he unsealed everything that was inside the seals. Under Ninjutsu were Jutsu ranging from C to A-rank for the five basic elements as long as a piece of paper with a note that told him it would help him find out his affinity. Upon channeling chakra into the paper it first split in two halves. Then one half burst into bright orange flames while the other half turned into water showing that he had three strong affinities towards wind, water, and fire; leaving him only truly weak towards earth jutsu. Sealing the Ninjutsu back into the main scroll he unsealed the Taijutsu only to find a note that said, 'you are an Uzumaki make your own damn Taijutsu style!' sweat dropping at the note he decided to move on only to find that the Kenjutsu scroll said the same damn thing! "I have a feeling I got my pranking habits from my Kaa-chan if this is anything to go by." Muttered Naruto not really knowing what he should be feeling.
Hoping that the Fuinjutsu seal had something useful he was rewarded with his mother's notes on sealing. Ranging from barriers, how to make sealing scrolls, explosive tags, gravity seals and a myriad of other seals. Smiling at finally finding something useful he resealed them all back. Moving onto next to the seal he unsealed the chakra control exercises and skimmed them and found them to be full of useful techniques. Moving to the sealed book he unsealed it to be met with The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi signed by some guy named Jiraiya. Looking at it he placed it onto the nightstand to read it later. If his mom put a book in the scroll it must have been important. Deciding that he could hold off from the weapon forging guides until later he decided to head to bed.
It's been a week and a half since we've last seen Naruto and over the past few days he's put his clones to work.
Making five-hundred clones he set one hundred clones to learn wind, fire, and water manipulation and with the goal of learning a new jutsu for each element before team selections. He then set then another hundred to study his mother's notes on seals. Leaving the last hundred clones to work on the tree walking exercise to help him with his chakra control. And his training bore fruit. He can now make his own explosive tags and storage seals in a matter of a few seconds. And from his elemental training he managed to do the leaf cutting, burning , and drying exercises which was the first step in the mastering the elements. From there he learned three jutsu; Futon: Daitoppa (great breakthrough, Suiton: Mizurappa (water trumpet), and Katon: Fenikkusu no yari (Phoenix spear) all of which were c-rank jutsu at base level which can get stronger with the more chakra added. He also managed to learn how to walk on trees with no hands and has started on water walking.
With his Kekkei genkai and weapons he's managed to feel comfortable using them. With Ember Celica he's managed to get comfortable with using the recoil of the gauntlets to fight and maneuver around as well as to time the release of the blasts to reduce the recoil to almost nothing when he doesn't want to. Meaning he can blast from point blank or anywhere and not be moved around. He can shoot concussive blast when he adds chakra to the Ember Celica and explosive shots when he adds his aura along with his chakra. His strength of the phoenix has allowed him extra strength and speed the more a fight rages on add that to his Uzumaki longevity, chakra and aura strength, and the regeneration form the nine tails he can easily be the worst opponent for Taijutsu specialists and close combat fighters.
He's managed to even get the Kawarimi down with no seals at all. He could make shadow clones and swap with them at will basically. Only a skilled sensor would be able to pick up the extra chakra needed for the switch, and they'd have to be really, really skilled.
So for our favorite Uzumaki it is clear to say that this past week and a half has been good. He even got a new set of clothes for the 'new' Naruto he was going to show the world. Starting from the bottom it was red shinobi sandals with a black sole, red shin protectors and gold wrapping tape where the shin protectors and sandals meet. Black shinobi pants with white kunai holster and pouch held onto his pants with white tape. He also had a white sash on his waist that had its ends ending of to the sides ending at his mid-thigh to add a bit of variety to his wardrobe. He also had a black long sleeved ninja shirt with mesh lining the inside. Over the shirt he wore a red vest that had to gold stripes on the chest area along with a gold trim along the collar and a gold Uzumaki clan swirl on the back. On his arms he had red forearm protectors and black finger less gloves under his Ember Celica. On his forehead he proudly wore the forehead protector that Iruka gave to him showing that he was a genin of the leaf. Under his shirt he wore the locket his mother left him along with a mesh t-shirt to protect him from certain attacks. (A/N: if you are having a hard time imagining the clothes look up Mega man zero his clothes are based of zero's armor.)
After reminiscing over his training week our red tipped blonde finally made way inside the classroom where he will learn who his teammates will be. He just felt on top of the world with all the change that's happened in his life.
He made it inside and sat in near the middle of the classroom next to the resident brooder, Sasuke Uchiha. Who like the majority of the class was also a clan heir, well then again he was the only one left. He like Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Ino Yamanaka, Chouji Akimichi, and Shikamaru Nara were next in line to lead their respective clans. Speaking of Shikamaru he was making his way to the back of the class when he spotted Naruto. "Naruto what are you doing here? This is for those who graduated." He stated in a bored tone.
In response Naruto flicked his thumb on his forehead protector and said "look at this here forehead protector, this means I passed."
Shrugging and muttering "troublesome" since it would be too much work to find out how he actually passed he made his way to the back and sat next to Chouji and started sleeping.
For a few moments all was quiet and everyone enjoyed the calm. But as all good things go, they too must come to an end. And the end to this was two stampeding fan girls known as Ino Yamanaka and her rival for the king of emo's non-existent affections Sakura Haruno. (A/n: you know what they all look like, why bother. I'm pretty lazy :D) they started arguing over who came in first before they spotted the class 'dobe' sitting next to their precious 'Sasuke-kun.'
"Dobe what do you think you're doing next to my Sasuke-kun!?" asked the pink haired howler monkey. Naruto looked at her and normally would have fawned over her but his mother's words reached his ears and he remembered, 'this world is made up of men and women so it's only natural to take an interest in girls. But just don't get hooked on bad women.' He knew he was caught between a rock and a hard place. He wanted to give his seat to her to appease her and make her appreciate him and acknowledge him. He did everything for her and got nothing in return, less than nothing actually. Close to seven years of one sided affections towards someone who had eyes for one person and crushed anyone she thought as a threat to that. And then he remembered all the beating he got from Sakura and realized that she was a bad woman he got hooked on for some reason. He knew that he had to stop these feelings for her. But how? Guess he can try what he does with the villagers, so he adopted a second mask to deal with Sakura. So with his mother's words in mind and plan thought out he replied.
"Sorry Sakura but as you can see I am sitting here as it was the first seat open. Now if that is all I'd like you to please leave me alone, you are blocking my light." He said as he pulled out Tales of a gutsy shinobi from his pouch and began reading where he left of. Believe it or not it was a good book and apparently where he got his name from.
After he spoke his piece everyone in the class stared at him in shock as if he grew a second head. He just told his 'Sakura-Chan' to leave him alone. What happened to the dobe? First the clothes and now this. What is next a kekkei genkai from a forgotten clan? Yeah right. Like that'll happen.
'What did he say to me?!' 'HE'S PROBABLY ACTING THIS WAY TO LOOK COOLER THAN SASUKE-KUN WE CAN NOT LET THIS GO UNPUNISHED! CHA!' replied a voice from within her head alongside hers. "Move and stop trying to act cooler than Sasuke-kun!" she yelled out as she geared back her fist in order to smack him on the head as usual.
Glancing to his right and seeing it coming he couldn't help but hurt a little on the inside. Did he really mean so little to her? He knew the fist was a lot slower than what he and his clones were capable of. Not bothering to block and look up from his book he emitted an Aura shield to take the blow and stop her dead in hear tracks. Everyone stared wide eyed at the weird barrier surrounding the 'dobe' of all people. It was that moment that Iruka chose to walk into the classroom. Seeing what was going on and being filled in on some of Naruto's new abilities by Sarutobi, Iruka decided to call his class to pay attention.
"Alright everyone shows over. Everyone take a seat." When no one moved a tic enveloped Iruka's head and used his patented Big head Jutsu to increase his voice and head to comical proportion. "I SAID SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!" And like magic everyone did as they were told. Putting what happened with Naruto and Sakura in the back of their minds for now, especially a brooding Uchiha who sought to have that power for himself. "Alright class now that you're settled in I'd like to say that I'm proud of all of you and that you all did great to reach where you are now. I am no longer your teacher but your peer in the shinobi forces. And as such I'd like to read of teams. Starting from the top team 1….." and for a while Naruto dosed off and continued reading his book. Until "Team seven: Naruto Uzumaki" that caught his attention. "Sasuke Uchiha" *thump* head meet desk. Desk meet head. "and Sakura Haruno" *thump**thump**thump* was all people could hear as the saw Naruto bang his head on the desk over and over muttering "damn" over and over again. 'So much for hoping to distance myself to let go.' He thought to himself. Iruka finished off naming the rest of the teams which included team 8 which had Kiba, Hinata, and Shino and team 10 which reformed the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. They were dismissed towards lunch and asked to return in an hour to meet their Jonin sensei.
The time came for the genin to meet their Jonin sensei and after a few minutes all that was left was team seven.
Half an hour later we find them still waiting with the Uchiha staring out the window resting his head on his crossed hands, the howler monkey pestering him for a date, and Naruto reading his mother's sealing notes.
Another hour and a half later Sakura is ranting about late sensei's and how Naruto better not hold her and Sasuke back, the Uchiha still staring out the window with the occasional twitch in his eyebrow, and Naruto still reading his mother's notes. He then closed it when he heard the door open revealing a tall lanky man with silver gravity defying hair; a face mask accompanied by his forehead protector covering his left eye wearing the standard Jonin uniform. After lazily looking over team seven having his eye widening slightly when he gazes at Naruto and like the hokage swore he saw someone else standing there he states, "My first impression of you is…you're boring. Meet me on the roof." And like that he was gone. Not knowing what to say after that team seven stays still for a while before regaining their bearings and head for the roof.
On the roof we find the same lazy Jonin sitting on the railing reading a familiar orange book. Team seven soon arrives and sits on the steps across from the lazy man. "Alright why don't we introduce ourselves? Say your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dreams for the future." He said without looking up from his book.
"Sensei why don't you go first to show us how it's done?" asked Sakura at a surprisingly normal speaking level. All she got were 'are you serious?' looks from the rest of the team.
Sighing the Jonin decided to appease her. "Alright I'll start my name Is Kakashi Hatake. I like….I dislike….and my dreams for the future? None of your business. And hobbies? I have lots of hobbies. You're up pinky." He replied with an eye smile?
'All we got was his name' was the collective thought of the genin.
"Alright then, my name is Sakura Haruno, I like… (looks left) *squeal* dreams …(looks left) *squeal*hobbies… (looks left) *squeal*."
"and things you hate?"
"NARUTO!" she yelled earning a shrug from Naruto as he cleaned his ears from the loud scream.
"Alrighty now you with the duck's ass on your head." He stated with an eye-smile as he pointed towards Sasuke.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I don't like anything. I hate a lot of things. I don't do hobbies. And my dream…no my ambition is to kill a certain man and restore my clan."
'Of course, better try to knock him of course.' thought the jonin
'Emo much?' thought Naruto.
'That was so hot, Sasuke-kun' not even gonna try.
"Alright flame head your turn." He said pointing at Naruto
Nodding In return he started, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like training, ramen, Ayame-nee, Old man Teuchi, Neko-nee, Iruka-sensei, and Hokage-Jiji. I also like my Kaa-chan and the things she left me"
Seeing what she believed to be an opportunity to impress her Sasuke-kun she didn't stop to think first before she yelled out, "Naruto stop lying we all know you're an orphan don't make things up!"
Now that did it for him, he know knew that he made the right choice in letting go of his feelings. "I may be an orphan Sakura" he spoke with venom "but that doesn't mean I didn't have a mother. And careful what you say I'm not the only orphan here!" he stated back pointing towards Sasuke who was also giving her the eye, all genin failed to notice Kakashi giving her the same eye. Shrinking back into her seat he continued where he left off, " As I was saying I like the things she left me like this locket" he said as pulled it out and showed it to them "and the weapons and techniques she left me" he said and earned narrow eyes from the Uchiha and curious eyes from the Jonin. "I dislike traitors, super perverts, alcoholics and pedophiles."
Across the elemental nations the three legendary sannin all sneezed and chalked it up to someone talking about them. While three different things happened. One ended up spilling her sake, the other ended up alerting the women on the other side of the bath house, and the third ended up messing up his make-up.
"Also the three minuets it takes to heat ramen and ignorant bastards who can't tell the difference between a kunai and the scroll its sealed within" this got him an understanding look from the jonin and curious looks from his fellow genin. "Hobbies I gotta say training, gardening, and learning Fuinjutsu. And my dreams for the future is to become hokage and make my mother proud as well as find out what happened to my sister." He finished solemnly
Now that got the attention of all three people next to Naruto.
'So he knows about her too? I hope wherever she is she is safe.' Thought Kakashi since he remembered Kushina telling him she was expecting twins.
Both Sasuke and Sakura wanted to ask but seeing the look on his face decided to drop the matter.
"Okay then now that we know more about each other, let's get down to the real business at hand. Tomorrow we will be conducting a special training I like to call survival training." He said with amusement clear in his voice.
"But sensei we already did survival training. Why do it again?" asked the bookworm.
Chuckling evilly Kakashi told them. "This isn't you're average survival training, no this is much more than that. This is more along the lines of a test" he held up his hand to keep Sakura from screeching "this test all the other Jonin Sensei and I are giving will drop the graduates of this graduating class by 66% to only 33% actually passing." He stood up from the railing and looked at his possible students "now I want you to meet me at training ground seven tomorrow at 6am for the test. And I suggest you don't eat breakfast. Later." He lazily waved and left in a poof.
Getting up from his seat Naruto left the roof in order to prepare for the test that will let him stay a genin or not. Toying with his locket he hoped he was ready for whatever was coming his way tomorrow.
