I don't own naruto
No clouds were out today as the sun shined on the crowds heading for the stadium. It was the day for the chunin exam finals. Everyone was going to see the loyal Uchiha show how powerful Konoha was. Yet some went just to see their village's jinchuriki get his ass handed to him and possible killed. At least they hoped.
One in particular was a red headed woman with green eyes. She slowly walked to where the Sandame Hokage was sitting. When she got there he turned to greet the new arrival only for his eyes to widen then he frowned.
"Sandame-sama" the woman replied while bowing politely.
"Namikaze-san, What a pleasant surprise. Might I ask what brought you here?" Asked Sarutobi Hiruzen gruffly.
"I see we are not going to get along. I wont start this argument if you wont." Hissed the red head. Sarutobi just scowled at her. "Besides today my son will be set free of that monster that has taken control of him." The hokage looked at with worry on his face.
"What have you do Kushina?" Hiruzen asked with killer intent lacing his words.
"Oh nothing. Just got Hiashi to let me train the boy a little so that even should the demon start to use it's powers Neji will still kill it. Especially since he has gotten no training from anyone except the basics. Even Kakashi agreed to not train the boy like the rest of the civilian council and I wanted since you let it graduate."
Hiruzen took a few minutes to digest what Kushina had said and then bit his thumb and went through some seals, slamming his hand on the ground "Kuchiyose no Jutsu" In a puff of smoke a small chimpanzee appeared. Hiruzen looked at it and said, "Tell Naruto and Hinata 'The glass house is ready to be broken." The chimpanzee then disappeared and Hiruzen turned back to Kushina. He smiled a vicious smile and said "How about we make a bet."
Kushina smiled back cautiously after what just happened. "What are the wagers."
"Simple, if Neji wins I will stop my defense of Naruto. If Naruto wins you have to except your responsibilities as a mother. Look at the notes on the Shiki Fuujin seal like I told you thirteen years ago. Even though I won't have to worry since he learns about you and his father when he gain chunin and when he gains jonin he will become clan head weather you like it or not."
"Well I'll not have to worry about that since the civilian council and elder advisers will never allow his promotion. Not even if you got the rest of the clan heads on your side." Kushina smirked thinking she would never let that thing near anything of her husbands. Kushina's smirk left her as she saw Hiruzen was still smiling.
"Ah yes the civilian council and my 'advisers'. Well it just so happens that I found an old law that your husband had yet to put into affect and have just signed it into commission this morning. It effectively disbands the civilian council since this is a military village. They will never be able to be reformed. So let's handle that now." with a snap of his fingers a few squads of ANBU had appeared in the civilian council section and handed them the notice of their dispersal. A few councilors tried to protest only to be grabbed and shushin'd away
Kushina was looking wide eyed and sputtering. After a few minutes an angry shuffling was heard. The ninja about Sarutobi's age appeared before the two in the hokage's viewing stand. The one with the bandaged eye and cane spoke for the others.
"What is the meaning of this Sarutobi. You can't make laws without the approval of the whole council." As he glared at the sitting old man. The other two elders nodded their heads in agreement. Hiruzen's smile just widened.
"That my 'friend' is the beginning of change. I have let to many things slide because of old age. Now I am rectifying the problem. Before his death the fourth set up a bunch of backup plans for almost of all possibilities. The one that he did not account for was the betrayal of his wife."
"At this Kushina snorted. "I did not betray my husband. I honored him by keeping that thing away from tarnishing his good name."
"Whatever let's you sleep at night Kushina." Sarutobi continued "Because of this I had to bide my time. With the help of a few loyal nin." At this two swords went through the bandaged mans head and heart respectively. Sarutobi stopped talking and watched the other man die as a neko and tiger masked ANBU pulled out their weapons from the newly minted cadaver. The neko masked ANBU then lopped of the bandaged man's head. Sarutobi then bent down and lifted the head and held it in a dramatic pose. "Alas poor Danzo, I knew him well." with a chuckle Sarutobi turned to the two ANBU. "Neko, Tiger, The glass house is ready to be broken."
The still wide eyed Kushina and elders just stared. Finally the other male of the group found his voice. "Sarutobi you have exceeded your authority you will be removed as hokage for this."
At this Sarutobi laughed. "You seem to think you still have any authority." With a signal four more ANBU appeared. Two by each elder. "I would kill you two but I wont deny Moegi and Udon their grandparents. For their sakes I do not kill you. Still you both will be on house arrest since I have enough on you two to kill everyone in your family." Said Sarutobi.
The two elders were as pale as could be. They lowered their head in acceptance after a few moments knowing that their families were not worth their pride. Finally they were escorted away. Sarutobi turned back to Kushina. "Now that the problems I have dealt with for a while have been taken care of. I sense the Kazekage coming. Let's greet him then enjoy the matches." Kushina just nodded dumbly as she watched the last of the support she had when dealing with her 'son' either killed arrested or escorted away. "At least I still have the Hyuuga on my side." she thought to herself not seeing the glint in Sarutobi's eyes.
At the same time across town. In a training ground we see two teens talking. One is a 'nervous looking' blond haired boy in orange. The other a 'shy looking' black haired that was highlighted blue girl with a baggy beige coat trying to give said boy encouragement. A small Chimpanzee suddenly appears between them.
"Sarutobi-sama said 'The glass house is ready to be broken." screeched the monkey. At those words the two teens became noticeably different. The 'shy girl' stepped from behind where she was half hiding standing up tall and a confident look in hr eyes. While the 'nervous blond' stop with the nervous twitching and had a calm serious look now.
"Looks like Sandaime-sama is finally ready, Hinata-chan" said the blond. The girl looked back at him and nodded before a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"I wonder how everyone's gonna handle the fact that we have been acting all these years Naruto-kun?" Said Hinata. It's going to be fun with what kaa-san and the elders planned since tou-san started to act the way he has."
"Well losing tou-san was what started his and Kushina's degradation." Naruto spoke venomously. A look from Hinata had him sighing. "I know you want me to give her a chance but we have already discussed this as impossible. She has openly stated that I am only a monster who took away her husband and child from her."
Hinata looked at him and sighed. "Fine, Let's just go get ready." with that the two teens disappeared in a puff of smoke.
At the arena the people were getting anxious for things to start. Finally Sarutobi stood up and looked at the crowd. Starting his welcome speech everyone's attention was on him so no one notice the flash of yellow light appear in the arena. Finally the ref looked around and said.
"You know the rule from the preliminaries. They are the same. Now I want everyone but Hyuuga Neji and Uzumaki Naruto to head up to the stands." With this everyone turn to see the late Naruto was in fact there. Everyone that lived in Konoha eyes widened when they saw his new look. Gone was the eyesore of a jumpsuit in it's place was an outfit they only saw on one man. At the fact that the demon container looked so much like a younger version of the late hokage. As they got over their shock The older generation started to murmur darkly. While those who knew Naruto still had their mouths on the ground. The proctor turn to the two combatants after getting over his shock and cleared his throat. "Uzumaki Naruto vs Hyuuga Neji hajime!!!"
The proctor jumped back to get out of the fight. Neji had gotten into the stance that had made his family famous as Naruto got into a stance that made Kushina gasp. Neji looked at Naruto with discuss. He wondered why the Sandaime had let this thing live for so long. "I hope you do not think you are going to win. Fate has declared I will win you monster." At this Naruto frowned. Then his face lit up in a mischievous smile. Naruto went through a few hand seal and the area was engulfed in a cloud of smoke as Neji got into a tighter stance to defend himself the blond the smoke cleared. Neji's mouth instantly dropped. Standing at a podium was Naruto now wearing a priests robes. In front of Naruto was a bunch of people sitting in rows. Naruto then began to have a sermon.
"Fate, Is their really a fate. If there is what has it done for me. Has it given my enemies the herpes. Did it give me the fresh equipment I needed for training. No it did not. What has fate really done for any of us." with this he started to dance a little. "Hyuuga this, destiny that, fate hit me with a wiffle ball bat reh eh heh eh he he" he then turned to one of the other people sitting in the pews. When people looked at this person their eyes widened again. Sitting their dressed in a black hakama and a form fitting black shirt was Hinata. "Hinata-chan what has fate done for you."
The girl looked up at Naruto and said in a voice that brimmed with confidence. "Why now that I think about it. It has done nothing for me nothing at all. Fate made my father a prick who thinks I'm weak and also blame the man I love for the death of his friend." said as she got up from her seat. "It forced me to hide behind a mask of frailty since my kaa-san's 'death'. No why should we listen to fate there is no reason to." with this the whole thing disappeared and Hinata vanished in a swirl of leaves.
At this point Neji was murderous as his whole look on life was questioned. Blindly he attacked Naruto who shook his head and then vanished before Neji. Neji was suddenly stopped in his tracks with a fist to his gut. Naruto then spun around and slammed the back of his hand into Neji's head. Neji hit the ground and left an imprint. His foot twitched in the air. Naruto sighed and looked at the proctor.
"You can check him he's out." the proctor walked up to Neji's body and turned him over true to Naruto's word the Hyuuga 'genius' was out cold. The proctor got up and called the medics then raised his voice.
"Winner of the first match Uzumaki Naruto." The audience sat there in silence at what they thought would be a one sided victory. They got what they wanted but just not what they had expected. The proctor called for the next match as everyone was sitting their. Only one of the opponents showed. After a few minutes when the opponent did not show he was disqualified. This knocked the audience out of their shock. They started to boo but were silence by the hokage.
"Silence!!! The genin Uchiha Sasuke was given his chance to show and has not shown. There for he is disqualified." As Sarutobi was speaking feathers started to fall from the sky and people started to fall asleep. The ninja dispelled the genjutsu and started to attack the ones who were attack the civilian populace. Sarutobi and Kushina were dragged to the top of a building and Naruto, Hinata and Gaara had all disappeared.
