This is the Rewritten Naruto: The Ninja of Metal 2.0(Slightly new tilte too). Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own naruto or Brutal Legend

It was the second portion of the infamous Chuunin exam. Our blond hero along with his squad had entered the forest, their heaven scroll left with Sasuke, (more like a two to one vote on the decision). They were hopping through the trees, after dealing with a team from rain that tried to ambush them when Naruto went to 'bleed the lizard'. The stopped at a clearing because Sakura needed a breather. Naruto was the first to feel the wind pick up faster then usual. He shouted, "GUYS, WATCH OUT!". He pushed the others out of the way as a fierce wind began to blow. While the others were able to avoid getting blown away, Naruto wasn't. He was sent crashing through the trees.

His teammates didn't have much time to stare, as they felt a large KI (killer intent) that far surpassed even Zabuza's. As they helplessly looked forward, they saw the woman from Kusa (grass). She chuckled darkly as she said, "Well, it seems one of you was able to sense my jutsu, but now he's gone, and you two are finished." The 'woman' pulled down her left eye. Sasuke and Sakura's minds were assaulted with images of their own deaths, each ending with a kunai to the forehead. While they were frozen with fear, the 'woman' said, "Now then, it seems the prey is weaker then I thought, such a shame." She' then threw a kunai aimed directly at their heads, and Sasuke was thinking, 'DAMN it, move body, MOVE.' He quickly grabbed a kunai from his pouch, and stabbed himself in the leg, allowing him to grab Sakura and move out of the way. The woman thought, 'He was able to beat the fear with pain, this prey is far more intriguing.'

(with Naruto)

Naruto sent sailing into tree branches as he made his way down to earth. When he impacted the ground, he heard a hissing sound behind him. He quickly got up and saw a HUGE snake in front of him, easily big enough to swallow him whole, and it looked like it wanted to do just that. The snake crept closer, and as it did so, the ground began to crack. The weight of the snake became too much, and the ground collapsed, taking both Naruto and the snake down with it. They began to fall into a cave, or it looked like it. Naruto saw what looked like a small lake at the bottom, it's pitch black water having an ominous feel to it. Both Naruto and the snake crashed into the water, both having similar, yet different results. Naruto tried to swim to the shore, but fell into unconsciousness. The snake was not so lucky, as black tendrils dragged it down, engulfing it in their dark embrace.

Naruto gained a different treatment, while his body was still wrapped in the tendrils, they pushed him to the shore.

(Naruto's mind-scape- Kyuubi's cage)

The dark water replaced the water within his mind, as the fox himself looked on, he said, "No, it can't be, this boy he, he couldn't have. Please don't tell me he fell into THAT accursed water." The dark water creeped into the cage, the fox backing away in fear, knowing what it was after. Black tendrils lashed out, dragging the fox down, absorbing it, feeding off of it. It shouted, "NO, THIS ISN'T HAPPENING, I CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS, NOT BY THIS WATER, NOT BY THE SEA OF BLACK TEARS!" It gave one final roar, but it still was dragged in.

(Naruto's mind-scape- another section.)

Naruto woke up, and saw a sight many would consider hellish, or in his opinion, pretty damn awesome. He was in a field, yet it was split in half. On the left side, it was lush and green, where he saw many giant statues of either swords, axes, or things he had NO idea what they were. The sky was clear and sunny. On the right, he saw something out of a horror movie. The trees were decayed, the ground pale as ash, the sky dark and thundering.

Naruto said out loud, "Where the hell am I?"

He heard a voice behind him say, "Your in your mind, I hope you don't mind, but we did a little redecorating in here, it looked like crap." He quickly turned around, and saw a woman in the left side of the field.

She, in his opinion, was a beauty. She had brown shoulder length hair, spiked bracers, a belt that was just as spiky, blue jeans, and a t-shirt with the logo of a fallen raven, with a ankh in the center. Her fingernails were painted black. She was leaning on one of the statues that looked like a sword.

He asked, "Did it really?", then heard from behind, "Oh it did, but I doubt it was your fault."

He then turned to the right side, and saw a woman next to one of the trees. She had the same voice as the first woman, but her appearance matched the scenery. She had blue skin, as if she drowned and rose from the dead. Her long hair was held in thorn-like barrettes. Her outfit was a black dress, but torn and seemed more fluid then fabric. He couldn't see her feet, as they were covered in the same dress.

Naruto asked, "Who are you, both of you, and how did you end up in my mind? My name is Naruto Uzumaki."

The first woman answered, saying, "My name, or rather, OUR name, is Ophelia. And as to how we got here, well, you remember the water you fell in?"

Naruto nodded and asked, "Yeah, it was dark, and it didn't really feel like water, I saw a snake get dragged down, but I passed out and ended up here."

The second woman, (gonna refer to her as d-Ophelia) said, "That was no ordinary water. You landed in the Sea of Black Tears. She (points to Ophelia) once fell into the same water, along with the fact that her parents did the same." She moved closer to Naruto, looked him the eye and said, "It's odd, none of the water got into you yet, but when you fell in, you already had it in you. How is that possible?"

Ophelia got wide-eyed and said, "What, the only way that could be true is if he were related to someone who, fell, in. No way." D-Ophelia smirked and said, "I knew it, you did didn't you?"

Naruto, confused at what they were referring to, asked, "What are you both talking about?" Ophelia said, "Well, while we were alive, we knew a man by the name of Eddie Riggs, he came to our land and aided us in our fight for freedom. He saved our people from slavery. And I, fell in love with him. After the war was over, he and I, well, got together. We lived a long time, protecting Bladehenge, our home. We had a family, but I never knew it could of continued."

Naruto asked, "Wait, do you mean to tell me, that we could be related?"

D-Ophelia spoke up, saying, "That is the best bet, after all, unless your mom or dad drank from the Sea, it's the only other option."

Naruto lowered his head, and D-Ophelia saw proof of him being related to them, a single pitch black tear. D-Ophelia hugged him from behind, as Ophelia asked, "Why so sad? Most people would be glad to hear they have a family."

Naruto lifted his head, his mouth in a wide grin, yet his eyes showed black tears, and he said, "I am, I never knew if I had any family out there, but I'm glad, because even though I fell down into the water, I gained an important thing."

D-Ophelia said, "Normally, anyone who fell into the water would lose the will to live in exchange for power, but because we're here, that doesn't apply to you. We can help you control the water so that you gain the power over it, without it controlling you. It will take time for it to stabilize in order to use it, but for now, all you have is the physical enhancement. Once it settles, we'll then teach you how to fight using it."

Naruto then asked, "What happened to the snake?"

Ophelia said, "That snake that fell down with you, when it was dragged down into the water, it came under your control."

D-Ophelia said, "I brought it back to life, after improving it with the black water, and sent it to gather some of the beasts in this forest to add to your control. I managed to do it before you got here."

Ophelia asked, "How did you land in the Sea in the first place?"

Naruto answered, "I was blasted by a large gust of wind after pushing my teammates out of the way, when I crashed down, the snake tried to attack me, and when it got close, the ground collapsed, and I ended up in the Sea, wait, CRAP, I have to go help my team."

D-Ophelia and Ophelia both thought, 'He is just like Eddie, always wanting to go help others.'

D-Ophelia said, "Naruto, when you wake up, the snake will take you to your team, but you have to direct it on where you have to go."

Ophelia said,"But first, we are going to have to change your body a bit, and that awful orange thing you call a jumpsuit."D-Ophelia nods her head in agreement and said " And we have a few weapons for you too."

"Bu-but I like orange!Why do I have to get rid of it?"asked Naruto while having a panic attack.

D-Ophelia then said, "Oh get over it, beside you'll like the new cloth's better."

"sigh...Fine i'll take them, so what are these weapons you told me about?" Naruto

Ophelia flicked her wrist, five things appeared floating in mid-air. The first one was unique, The blade was pitch-black and it curved at the tip to make a large hook. Along the blades edge were seven spikes shaped like skulls that kanji engraved on them, in the eye sockets were seven different pairs of colored diamonds. The next two were duo-wield katana swords, they had a slight jagged curve to them. The two blades were completely different from each other. The one on the right it's blade is pure white color and it's handle and sheath were pitch-black. The one on the left it's blade was powered black color, with it's handle and sheath being white in color. The last two were weapons naruto did not recognize. Both were a coal black color, but the handle grips were a crimson red and had some kinda of long tube attached to them. The only difference between is that one has the name Saint and Sinner on the other engraved on the handles.

Ophelia saw the confusion on his face and explained what they were. " I'm not surprised you don't know what these are naruto because they haven't been seen for thousands of years. They are 357. Magnum revolver pistols and the tubes attached to the barrels are called silencers. These shoot highly condensed chakra projectiles, or bullets."

D-Ophelia started to explain what the other weapons could do. " Now the swords are one of a kind in this world as well." she walks over the swords and grabs a hold of the one with the skulls on it. " This one is called the Elemental Sin. It's ability allows you to control over the five elements, control over the powers of light and shadow." She shows naruto a closer look at the skulls. The first skull had the kanji for fire and the diamonds were red. The second one had the kanji for wind and it's diamonds were green. The third one had the kanji for lighting and it's diamonds were yellow. The fourth one had the kanji for water and it's diamonds were blue. The next one had the kanji for earth and it's diamonds were a brownish color. The sixth one kanji was light and it's diamonds were clear. The last one had the kanji for shadows and it's diamonds were black.

Ophelia grabs the duo swords and give them a few swings. D-Ophelia continues talking, " The one with white blade is called Annihilation and the one with black blade is called Demolition. Annihilation's ability is when it's blade cuts anything it turns to dust. Demolition's ability is everything it cuts twice explodes." D-Ophelia finishes leaving a very shocked naruto looking at her with wide eyes.

"Well that's great but really got to go and help my team" said a really antsy Naruto just remembering he had teammates to help.

Ophelia said, "Well then go were got everything covered so go and if you ever need to talk to us, just think, and one of us will answer. Now go out there and show the world what your made of."

Naruto started to fade out of his mind as he said, "Don't worry Ophelia-Okaasan, I plan on it."

Ophelia and D-Ophelia thought, 'He is going to be one hell of a guy for a lucky gal.'

(Sea of Black Tears-Shore)

Naruto woke up, he quickly shot up and looked at his surroundings. He saw the snake from before waiting for him, but it had a slight blue tinge to it's scales, similar to D-Ophelia. Then he looked at him self and almost screamed. He quickly pulled out a polished kunai and looked at him self. He was even more shocked at what his face looked like. His height had shot up to 6' 2" and gain a lot of muscle. His face was an identical copy of the fourth hokage only his hair had black streaks in it and he had piercings on he right eyebrow, two silver rods. He also noticed that his cloth's had changed. He was now wearing a tight fishnet shirt and over was a black wife beater and that was a trench coat. He also was wearing black cargo pants with white flames going up the sides and was wearing black combat boots. He looked for his weapons and found that Elemental was strapped to his back vertically and was warped in some black cloth. Annihilation and Demolition were attached to his hips. Annihilation on his right and Salvation on the left. Saint and sinners were in holster underneath his trench coat. Once he got a good look at himself, he then jumped onto it's head and said, "Let's go, we have a couple teammates to save." The snake made a nodding motion, and rushed forward, exiting the cave, and crashed through the forest. As they made their way through, Naruto sensed his team in growing danger. Once they arrived, Naruto saw Sasuke about to toss their heaven scroll away. Naruto jumped off the snake, grabbed the scroll in one hand, and punched Sasuke in the face with the other.

Sasuke was furious, and he showed it by saying, "The hell is wrong with you do..." he stop mid-sentence from shock at what he was looking at. This was not the same Naruto he knew no this was one of power.

Naruto scowled at him and said, "Are you a fool? If this freak wanted our scroll, he would of killed you both, and taken it from your damn carcass. No, either way, we would of still ended up dead."

The Kusa genin chuckled and said, "Glad to see someone has both backbone and common sense, but the question remains, how are you able to control my snake and who are you?"

Naruto's eyes widened in understanding and he said, "Well, why is the sannin Orochimaru gracing us with his disgusting presence? I doubt it's to become a Chuunin, or are you here to ask people what side of the fence they think you are, because I have a pretty good guess. And if you must know I was the one you blew away with that wind jutsu of yours."

Sakura and Sasuke couldn't help but laugh, regardless of the situation. Orochimaru said, "You little brat, how dare you mock me in such a manner, I will kill you for that."

Naruto said, with a Cheshire grin on his face, "Oh you wanna fight freak, I'll be happy to oblige. Just make sure you don't disappoint."

(Play Let it Roll By Divide the Day)

Naruto rushed forward at a speed neither Sasuke or Sakura had seen him go before. He appeared in front of the disgraced sannin with the Annihilationand Demolition out. He then started to throw what seemed like wild slashes. Orochimaru began to backpedal to avoid Naruto's slashes , but when his back touched the tree trunk, he had to move his head to the side to avoid a slash from Annihilation. When the Annihilation cuts the wood, the tree started to turn a brownish color then it just crumbles away to dust. Orochimaru looks at the tree in shock while thinking if he didn't move he would been dust instead of that tree. Naruto thought, 'DAMN, I know D-Ophelia-Okaasan said this was dangerous, but this is NUTS, gotta keep it up.'

Orochimaru thought, 'This is the Kyuubi brat? I don't sense him using any of the fox's chakra, so how is he-' His thought were cut off, as Naruto took the moment to sweep Orochimaru's legs, and kick him in the stomach, and off the branch. The snake from before was waiting, it's jaws wide open as Orochimaru fell, he extended his arm outward, and said, "Hidden shadow snake hand!" A large snake came out of his sleeve, and wrapped around a branch, allowing him to swing away. The moment he landed on the branch, Naruto was already there, his leg bent back, and kicked him in the side of the face.

Sasuke and Sakura couldn't believe their eyes, that Naruto, the class clown, was fighting a sannin, and doing GOOD, even better then Sasuke. Ophelia and D-Ophelia were cheering him on in his head, and Naruto allowed himself to smirk, but it quickly vanished when 'Orochimaru' turned into mud.

Naruto quickly began looking around, trying to see where the snake could of gone to. His eyes widened , he turned and blocked a strike from Kusanagi with Demolition. When Orochimaru pulled back Kusanagi he notice there was a big chip In the blades edge. ' His blade was able to chip the legendary Kusanagi? How is that possible?' Orochimaru thought.

Naruto crouches then leaps at orochimaru with Demolition in a upward slash. Orochimaru quickly blocks the slash with Kusanagi. The blades clash and sparks fly and naruto smirks.

" Bad move orochi-teme." Naruto says while quickly doing a back flip to get away.

Orochimaru jumped after him yelling " What are you taki..." BOOM! The Kusanagi explodes and orochimaru is blown back slamming into a tree. The once great swords hilt embeds it's self in a tree right next to naruto.

" Anything Demolition cuts twice explodes and Annihilation turns anything it cuts to dust, so I would be very careful or you'll be dead soon." Naruto said with a smirk that could put the devil himself cowering in a corner crying.

'Damn if this keeps up I'm a dead man, I got to get out of here now' Thought orochimaru.

Sudden his body turned to mud, this puts naruto on high alert. He heard a horrified scream, and looked down at his teammates.

His eyes widened in horror as he saw Orochimaru biting into Sasuke's neck, the sannin's neck extended to ridiculous lengths. Sakura was the one who screamed, Sasuke himself screaming in pain. When the snake let go, the bite marks turned into a tri-tomoe seal, similar to a fully matured sharingan. Sakura shouted, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO SASUKE-KUN YOU FREAK!"

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "I just gave Sasuke-kun a little gift, soon, he will seek me out for power, farewell." He then began to sink into the ground, as he thought, 'With my mark in place, I will gain one step closer to immortality.'

Naruto cursed as he grabs whats left of the Kusanagi and rush down to Sasuke. As he approached him, he power-slid on instinct, and saw what Sasuke was clutching at. Naruto said, "Damn it, whatever that freak did, Sasuke has a high fever, we need to get him somewhere safe in order to allow him to heal." Looking at the snake, he said, "Head back, I'll summon you if needed." It nodded it's head, and then turned and went back to the Sea.

Naruto grabbed Sasuke and carried him on his shoulder, as Sakura asked, "Naruto, how were you able to fight off someone even Sasuke-kun couldn't beat?"

Naruto sighed and said, "It's a long story, and I don't trust you enough to tell you any of it."

Both Ophelia and D-Ophelia saw, and when they looked through his memories, they understood why he said it. The same girl was always hitting him over the head, even for little things. They were proud he turned his back on such a person.

Sakura got pissed as per her usual, and said, "What do you mean you don't trust me you baka? We're teammates, and if you weren't holding Sasuke-kun I would smack you."

Naruto said, "As if you could, at least I FOUGHT Orochimaru while you just sat there. We have to hurry and find shelter, night is going to fall soon." He turned to walk away, but Sakura, ignoring Sasuke on Naruto's shoulder, tried to swing at his head. Naruto caught her fist with his left hand, and said, "How pathetic, you really are still just a child."

Naruto let go of her, and jumped to the trees, Sakura following not to far behind.

(Clearing- Same as in anime)

Naruto stopped at a clearing with a large tree at on end. It had a wide gap in it's roots, perfect for hiding or allowing a place to rest. Naruto put Sasuke down, and said, "I'm going for a nap, wake me when something happens." Sakura saw he was asleep, and began making traps to ensure Sasuke's safety.

(Naruto's mind)

Naruto opened his eyes and saw he was in the left side of the field, his head laying on something, but not grass. He looked up to see Ophelia looking back down. She smiled and said, "Miss me?"

Naruto gave a smile of his own as he said, "Maybe, not a crime is it?"

Ophelia giggled and said, "No, though my other is dealing with helping the water stabilize, it will still take time for you actually use them."

Naruto relaxed, saying, "At least it's going well."

Ophelia relaxed as he had his head in her lap. She thought, 'Rest, for I can tell tough times are ahead.'

(Clearing- Few hours later)

Sakura was watching Sasuke sleep, after changing the wet cloth she used to bring his fever down. She reflected on what Naruto said to her and she thought, 'I'm not a child, I'm a ninja of this village, just like Naruto, that stupid dead last. Who does he think he is, talking to me like that.' Her eyes were getting heavy, she closed them for a moment, only to jerk awake as she heard, "Wake up Sasuke-kun, we have business with him."

She turned to the origin of the sound with a horrified look on her face. Naruto awoke slightly, but decided to continue looking the part of being asleep, till the right time. The origin of the voice, was one of the sound genin from the first exam. He was hunched over, bandages covering most of his body except his right eye, what could be seen besides his kimono, he wore a large fur like lump on his back, and had a strange bracer on his right arm. His sound head band around his forehead. The second genin wore a tan shirt with the word 'death' on it in kanji, he, like the first genin, wore gray cameo pants, and had hair similar to Kakashi's. His head band was set into a helmet similar to that of the second Hokage's. He had what looked like holes in his palms. The third genin was different, a kunoichi. She wore a green sleeveless vest, her black hair extending down to her ankles, ending with it being tied by a purple ribbon. She, like her teammates, wore gray cameo pants. Unlike her teammates, who looked excited at the chance to kill, her face held a blush from looking at Naruto and what some would call a 'bitchy' attitude, but had an undertone of wanting to get away as fast as she could. Naruto saw it and thought, 'She wants to leave sound huh? I'll see if I can do something to help that. But for now, let's see how this show plays out.'

The mummy looking genin stepped forward, and said, "We won't ask again, either wake him up now or else."

Sakura replied, "What will you do if I wake him up?"

The first genin narrowed his eye as he said, "We're going to kill him of course."

Sakura was shocked at open they were, so she said, "And why is that? Did Orochimaru tell you to do that? He did didn't he?"

The genin were wide eyed, not knowing their master had already encountered them. The second genin stepped forward as he said, "Who cares, Dosu, can I please kill this bitch and that blond kid? Not like we weren't going to anyway." He would of taken another step, had the first genin, Dosu, put his arm in front of him and said, "Not really so observant are you Zaku? The grass is upturned, and the dirt is discolored. An effective booby trap only works if it goes unnoticed."

Sakura smirked, as she took a kunai from her pouch, and cut a rope behind her. Dosu heard a rustling sound, as if something came through the trees. He saw a large log heading his way, and he said, "Good, but not good enough, you need more practice." He used the arm with the gauntlet to punch the log, using the vibration from the impact to shatter the log into pieces. Sakura was frozen at the display, and remained that way she felt a hand grab at her hair. She heard a female voice say, "Kami you're pathetic, your hair is so much glossier then mine. What do you do, spend more time grooming than training? What a disgrace."

Naruto was smirking at the display, as the girl was giving Sakura a bigger tongue lashing then he did. And he thought, 'Well, what do we have here? A kunoichi who isn't girly, good to see they exist, besides that Anko woman.'

Zaku said, "Nice grab Kin, now let's kill those two boy-toys of hers, while we make her watch."

Naruto thought, 'This isn't good, I may need to step in if it gets any worse-' his thought was cut off by a cry of 'LEAF WHIRLWIND'. Kin was knocked into one of the trees, while Sakura stared at the one who helped her. It was Rock Lee, the boy who fought, (defeated) Sasuke before the exam started. It was easy to recognize him in his green jumpsuit, with orange leg warmers. He said, "It is most unyouthful to attack someone so defenseless, in such a state. I Rock lee will accommodate you, should you wish to fight."

Dosu scoffed and said, "How pathetic, this will be over quickly." He pulled back his sleeve, so it wouldn't dangle and cause himself to trip. He rushed forward, swinging the arm with the gauntlet, aiming for Lee's head. Lee blocked the swing, yet his head began to erupt in pain. He staggered backwards, clutching his ear. He thought, 'My ear, it hurts, but how, I never got hit there?'

Dosu chuckled and said, "You may of blocked the physical attack, but my 'Melody arm' is special. It amplifies vibration, turning it into sound which I can control with my chakra. Even if you block my arm, you'll still get hurt. Your taijutsu is impressive, but not enough."

Naruto was thinking, 'Damn, these guys are no joke, have to give them credit though, taking down LEE like that, is tough to do.' He felt a dark chakra erupt next to him, and he knew Sasuke was awake. Naruto thought, 'Oh crap, lord of brood is up, and so is the mark.'

Sasuke walked out of the tree, and saw the sound genin. He said, "What are you losers doing here, came to be beaten by an Elite Uchiha? With this power, I'm untouchable."

Kin, seeing Sasuke gloat, pulled out three senbon needle, each attached with a bell on the end. She said, "Untouchable, yeah right, have some of this." She tossed the senbon at Sasuke's feet, and pulled the strings tied to the bells, causing them to ring. Sasuke clutched his ears, as the sound of the bells disrupted his hearing. He moved to the other side of the clearing to try and get away from the noise, but Kin had other plans. She drew three more senbon, each tied with an exploding tag this time. She threw them at Sasuke's feet, where he covered his ears, thinking it was the bells again. The tags went off, knocking him into one of the trees, and straight into unconsciousness. Dosu smirked, and said, "How pathetic, even with the power Orochimaru-sama gave him, he was weak. (he turns to Sakura) now it's time to kill you, along with your teammate."

Sakura was frozen in fear, as even her great Sasuke-kun was beaten by these ninja, and now she was going to die. Dosu rose his melody arm, poised to strike. Sakura closed her eyes, waiting for the strike.

Dosu felt a cold steel against his head, and heard,"You guys are rude, you were interrupting my nap, now one if you, whoever has the scroll, drop it, or I shoot every last one of you." Naruto said from behind Dosu with Saint against his head and Sinner pointed at Zaku. Dosu looked at the spot where the blonde was before then back behind him.

' When did he get behind me? I didn't even sense him move.' Dosu thought with a slight fear

Kin was terrified, her life in someone's hands, but then she heard a whisper in her ear, 'If you want to leave the sound village, ask to speak to the Hokage when your team reaches the tower, tell him Naruto sent you, he can help you.' She blushed and whispered back, 'Thank you, I'll be sure to do so.'

Dosu, in an act of defiance, said, "Oh really, what makes you so sure?"

Naruto smirked and said, "Can't proceed without a full team, right? So either way your screwed, at least I'm giving you a choice. This way, you can at least try and get another set, you still have a couple days."

Dosu weighed his options, he could either fight it out, or give up and try later on, when he had his strength back. "Fine, we'll go, but this isn't over." He reached into his pouch and pull out an earth scroll, the one that was needed.

Naruto took the scroll out of his hand, and said, "Now leave, before I change my mind." Zaku, not wanting to lose, shouted, "LIKE HELL WE WILL, NOW YOUR GONNA DIE." Zaku tried to raise his arms. Dosu said, "Don't be stupid, I already said we would leave, and we are, so let's go."

Zaku scoffed, continued with his attack but before he could say another word, two loud bang were heard. Everyone was now looking at naruto or his now smoking gun. Two thuds were then heard and everyone looked at Dosu and Zaku who had fallen to their knees. Both were looking down at the chest where there were holes in there chest. With one final look at naruto then fall face first, dead.

Kin looked at Naruto weapon with wide eyes and fear for it. Naruto looks at her and tosses her a piece of paper.

She looks at it and it reads:Get out of this forest and head to this location. The rest of the had coordinate points on it. She nods to Naruto with a blush and jumps away.

Sakura thought, 'Does that girl like him? He's supposed to like me, not some other girl. I'll need to beat it into his head again.'

Ophelia was thinking, 'Well, this is looking interesting'. D-Ophelia thought, 'He is a charmer, that's for sure, just like Eddie.'

Naruto looked to a bush and said, "You guys can come out, I know you're there Ino, Shikamaru, Choji. If Hinata's team were here, it would be a rookie reunion."

Shikamaru, along with his team, jumped out of the bush, and he said, "What a drag, and look at you, it looks like you had an upgrade."

Sakura looked at Naruto and for the first time noticed that he really had changed . Naruto said, "Strange, but I like it."

Shikamaru said, "Man, what was that about, you never acted like that in the academy."

Naruto's expression hardened, saying, "I grew up, after I lost someone I cared about."

The others were puzzled at what he meant, but Ophelia knew, she saw a statue rise on her side of the field. It depicted a girl wearing a mist ANBU uniform, with a mask held in one hand, with senbon held in the other. She wore simple sandals, with no socks. Her mist headband framed her face, which, if anyone asked Naruto when he was alone, he would call it one of an angel. The statue had a plate on it that said, 'To the angel who taught me my most important lesson, forever rest in peace, my dear Haku.'

D-Ophelia looked at the statue and said, "He really cared about her, didn't he?" Ophelia looked at her other self, and said, "His memories certainly show it. According to them, they met while he was on a mission outside the village, he was asleep in a clearing in the woods, passed out from training. She found him that way, and was about to kill him when she saw who he was. She went against and woke him up. They had a conversation about who is precious to them, Naruto felt his feelings grow while they did, before she left, she tried to tell him she was a boy, but he didn't buy it. They didn't meet again till he fought her on the bridge a client hired them to protect, he didn't know it was her till her mask broke. She begged him to kill her, after he beat her. He wouldn't, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He charged forward, hoping to knock her out, but they heard a chirping sound. Haku rushed to protect her master, and ended up dying because of it. Naruto was heartbroken, I never saw him so sad in any of his memories. He must of truly loved her."

D-Ophelia looked at the statue, and asked, "How long ago did it happen?"

Ophelia said, "Almost a couple moths, why, wait, are you?"

D-Ophelia said, "Not now, later on, but yes, I am. He needs better control over the water first."

Ophelia thought, 'I hope he does, he will get better, but I hope he can handle it.'

Shikamaru looked at where Sasuke was laying and asked, "What happened to him back there, he went nuts."

Naruto scoffed and said, "The king of brood wanted to flex his ego, and got in over his head. I was taking a nap when the commotion happened."

Shikamaru laughed and said, "You really are a troublesome guy, you know that, how many scrolls?

Naruto smiled and said, "Both, and a extra heaven scroll courtesy of a team of idiot rain ninja."

Shikamaru said, "Damn, and we need a heaven too, this sucks."

Choji was sweating, as he thought, 'Oh man, I don't wanna fight Naruto, not after what he just did, this sucks.'

Naruto reached into his pouch, and pulled out the heaven scroll he got from the rain nin that attacked him. He said, "Here, you need one right, so we're set. Besides, it wouldn't be fair, right? Ino would have your head, along with your mom."

Shikamaru said, "You have a point there." He took the scroll, and placed in his pouch. Shikamaru turned to his team and said, "We're going with Naruto's team to the tower, seeing as both of us have the scrolls we needed. It would be safer in numbers, so we're gonna rest here for a bit, then head to the tower."

Choji opened a bag of chips, Ino and Sakura talked, Naruto was thinking, 'Kami, I wish she were still here.'

D-Ophelia heard his thought, and thought to herself, 'So he really did, and still loves her, his heart must be in turmoil.'

A few minutes later, they started for the tower, Naruto carrying Sasuke, as no one trusted Ino or Sakura to do it, as they couldn't while jumping through trees.

(The tower- riddle room)

When the two teams entered the tower, Sasuke woke up, and saw the large tablet on the wall, (skip reading it) Naruto said, "To be a good shinobi, you must in balance of heaven and earth, earth is the body, while heaven is the mind. If you lack in one, but have the other, either train or study."

Ino was shocked, blushing a little bit and thinking, 'What could of made Naruto get like this? He said he lost someone he cared about, but who could of affected him this much?'

Sakura didn't know what to think, and neither did Sasuke. They only had one thought as they saw Naruto call Shikamaru over to open the scrolls, 'What happened to you?'

Naruto opened his scroll, and saw what he recognized as a summon seal, so he told Shikamaru, "Drop it." As they did, they landed in what looked like an X, and with a puff of smoke, two figures appeared , the first, was Kakashi Hatake, sensei of Squad seven, he wore the usual jonin uniform, had gravity defying silver hair, and his headband slanted over his left eye. The second figure was Asuma Sarutobi, sensei of squad ten, he looked like a younger version of his father, the same beard, and sideburns. He wore the jonin uniform as well, but wore a loincloth over his pants with the kanji for 'guardian' on it. His cigarette still ever present in his mouth. Kakashi took out his book as usual, and said, "So how did it go? Any trouble?" then they got a good looked at Naruto Asuma dropped the cigarette from his mouth and Kakashi dropped his book.

Sakura said, "Nope, Sasuke-kun kicked butt, as usual, while Naruto-baka just got in the way, as usual." Naruto scoffed and mumbled something that sounded like, 'Impudent pink haired harlot.' Naruto walked away, saying, "Tell me when the prelims start, we have about a day right? I'll see you all then."

Ino looked at Sakura and said, "That was wrong, and you know it, Naruto beat the sound team, when even Sasuke couldn't." Asuma looked at Kakashi, who had a stern look on his face, and when he spoke, Kakashi sounded colder then anyone ever heard him, "Sakura, what REALLY happened in that forest, and do not THINK of lying to me, or else."

Sakura started to stutter out something, but Sasuke said, "Ino's right, Naruto helped us, even saved us. We ran into Orochimaru, and Naruto did well against him, VERY well. He destroy his sword, the Kusanagi. We then ran into the sound genin, and from what Shikamaru told me, Naruto killed them by sticking them in a grid-lock. We then came here." Kakashi nodded his head in shock, and noted to talk to Naruto after this part of the exam. He then turned to Sakura and said, "At least ONE of you two learned, now then, I will have a word with you later, but for now, rooms have been prepared, and you two better not disturb Naruto, as you remember Wave, don't you?" Sasuke had a solemn look on his face, while Sakura scoffed, clearly not giving a damn.

Asuma and his squad could only think, 'What happened in Wave?'

(With Naruto)

Naruto was heading down a hallway to living quarters when he saw anbu. He walked over to the anbu and asked. " Is Hokage-sama he in the tower, can you take me to him?"

The anbu nods and escorts him to somewhere in the tower.

(The Office)

The Sandaime and his aids were looking over some papers when Naruto and the anbu arrive. When he looks up he almost had a heart attack. 'Minato? No he's dead. Then who is this?" Hiruzen thought

"Who are you and what do want?" Koharu asked very rudely

"Whoa, I'm surprised you don't recognize me you old bat. Considering you make my life a living hell every day." Naruto answered with a smirk on his face. Koharu Blistered at that.

"Naruto is that really you, What happened to you?" Asked Hiruzen

"I'll tell you what happened after the exams Jiji, I just came to give you a gift that might get you in good spirits." Naruto says while reaching into his coat and pulling out what was left of the Kusanagi and tossed it on to the desk. He walked out of the room leaving four very shocked people.

Hiruzen is gobsmacked, he in front of him is the remains of his students weapon, the kusanagi. His shoots up and looks at the anbu still in room.

"Get the clan heads here tomorrow for the second part of the exams, if my hunch is right then they are wanna see this." Said Hiruzen still shocked.

(One day later- Chuunin exam preliminaries)

The genin that passed stood together as they waited. Hinata was blushing, and was thanking Kami that Naruto made it. Kiba saw the look in her eyes, and decided to ruin Naruto in front of her, should they fight.

The Hokage stepped forward, standing with the other jonin and Clan heads in front of a large statue in the form of the ram sign. He said, "I welcome all of you, those who made it past the second exam." (Still don't remember his speech, so we will skip to the first match selection)

The screen flashed through the names, eventually ending on two.

First match:

Sasuke Uchiha vs. Akado Yoroi

Sakura looks at the board and thinks, 'Sasuke-kun can't fight, not this early.' Naruto was thinking, 'This just reeks of the council's doing, wanting to show off in front of the foreign ninja.' As Naruto and the other genin went up to the catwalk, Kakashi said to Sasuke, "You can't use your chakra in this match, or the seal will react. If that happens, the match will be stopped, regardless." Sasuke merely nodded his head and continued to go toward the center. Hayate, the proctor for the preliminaries, raised his hand in the air and looked at both competitors before saying, "Are both fighters ready?" At the confirmation, he lowered his arm in a chopping motion and said, "BEGIN." He then jumped back, so he wouldn't be hit by the fighters.

Sasuke began the match by rushing toward Yoroi, kunai in hand. Naruto thought, 'He's desperate, he won't win that way.'

Yoroi dodged the kunai swipes, and struck out with his right hand glowing blue, in a manner similar to a chakra scalpel. He grabbed Sasuke by the shirt, and he noticed he was getting weaker. He managed to get Yoroi off of him, and managed to get some distance from his opponent. Sasuke's vision was getting blurry, and saw Yoroi rushing him. Yoroi grabbed Sasuke by the hair, and then the Uchiha noticed. He said, "You're stealing my chakra." Yoroi chuckled and said, "Yes, I am able to steal the chakra of my opponent, and add it to myself, you're finished."

Sasuke, knowing he couldn't use chakra or jutsu, got a flash of when he fought Lee before the exams started. He remembered how he fought. Sasuke then ducked down under Yoroi's guard, and gave him a heel kick to the face, launching him upward. Lee saw what he was doing and thought, 'He had his Sharingan active when we fought, but to see him perform it is something else.' Naruto thought, 'Still, the Uchiha are copycats, but to steal Lee's hardwork is wrong.'

Sasuke saw the reactions, and said, "I may have taken the first part, but from here on out, it's all original." He paralyzed Yoroi by using his index and middle finger. He then swung his right arm at Yoroi's face, which was blocked by the arm. Using the momentum, Sasuke swung his right leg to kick Yoroi's stomach, sending him straight to the ground.

Seeing Yoroi knocked out, Hayate called, "Winner, Sasuke Uchiha." Yoroi was picked out of the crater he made on impact, while Sasuke fell on his ass, with Kakashi already supporting him, he said, "Let's get that mark sealed away, shall we?" Kakashi then shunshined away with Sasuke.

Naruto heard Ophelia say, "He copied that move, but how?" Naruto replied, 'Sasuke has a bloodline called the Sharingan (Mirror-copy wheel eye). It allows him to copy any Nin, Gen, and Taijutsu he sees while it's active. Though, if his body can't keep up, you can beat him in taijutsu.'

Feeling Ophelia was satisfied with the answer, Naruto turned to the board, and saw the next pair of names.

Second match: Kankuro vs. Misumi Tsurugu.

Naruto saw the make-up wearing sand genin, and Kabuto's other teammate walk down to the center stage. Kankuro held a confident smirk, his opponent's face unreadable due to the glasses and the mask. Hayate looked at them both and asked, "Are both fighters ready?" Seeing their confirmations, he swung his arm down, and said, "Then let the match, BEGIN." And he then jumped out of the way. Kankuro pulled the package off of his back, saying, "This will be over quickly." Misumi then rushed at Kankuro, and in a strange way, 'wrapped up Kankuro, who only had time to throw the bundle away from himself. Misumi chuckled as he said, "I am able to stretch my body using my chakra, turning my bones softer. Give up now, or I will snap your neck." Kankuro merely scoffed and said, "Yeah right, you don't have the guts." Misumi appeared to have an angry expression, and with a single move, snapped Kankuro's neck. Sakura said in surprise, "He, he actually broke it." Misumi sneered, thinking he won, as he saw Kankuro's head go limp. He then heard the head chuckle, and he along with all but the sand shinobi had wide eyes as they saw his 'head' snap up, part of his face missing, revealing what looked like a wooden person. 'Kankuro's' clothing was ripped at the sides, as six arms sprang out, and wrapped around Misumi in a manner that was very familiar. The now revealed puppet laughed, before saying in Kankuro's voice, "Well, that was fun, I wonder, how soft your bones would get, if I BROKE THEM ALL."

The puppet squeezed Misumi tightly, and with an audible crack, broke every bone from the neck down. The bundle Kankuro carried started to unravel, showing the real Kankuro. Hayate said, "Winner, Kankuro" Naruto thought, 'He hid himself inside bundle, and controlled the puppet, making it look like it was him, not a bad idea.'

Misumi was carried off by the medics, and the board went through the names again. This time it landed on two names the leaf ninja knew they would never hear the end of.

Third match: Ino Yamanaka vs. Sakura Haruno.

Both girls walked down to center stage, Naruto not even bothering to pay attention to this one. He then asked, 'Hey, Ophelia, what was Bladehenge like?'

D-Ophelia answered, saying, "It was a great land, filled with excitement, and while the war caused much to happen, the land was restored to it's former glory. Parties happened on the beaches every night, the sounds of metal roared over the land. Believe me, Eddie felt right at home."

Naruto said, 'Woah, it does sound awesome, but, who was involved in the war?'

D-Ophelia replied, "Technically, there were three factions. The first was Ironheade, an army Eddie put together, made up of the free people of Bladehenge, and various other factions of humans that Eddie recruited as we traveled. It got it's name from the Headbangers, the first group Eddie recruited. The second was the Drowning Doom, which I myself led. It composed of a ragtag group, any and all who fell into or drank from the Sea of Black Tears. But the last faction was the worst. It was called the Tainted Coil, led by Emperor Doviculus. It was composed of a perverse hierarchy, with Doviculus at the very top, Battle nuns, Overblessers, and Warfathers right below him, and all others making up the lowest class.'

Naruto was surprised, saying, 'Damn, it must have been crazy then.'

D-Ophelia nodded, saying, 'It was, but eventually the land was freed, and our people saved. You would not believe the party that was thrown afterwards, it went on for days. Eddie sure knew how to throw one.

Naruto had a smile on his face as he thought, 'He must have been one hell of a guy.' , to which D-Ophelia replied, 'He was, and it seems you have some business to take care of.'

After being rused from his thoughts, Naruto saw the board, and saw,

Seventh Match: Naruto Uzumaki vs. TenTen . (AN: don't know her last name and kiba fought temari and had his ass handed to him.)

Naruto saw a random rain-nin carried away in a stretcher. He then heard "Hey sexy, hurry up and get down here?" tenten said in a very sexy voice.

Naruto walked down to center stage, and said, "Now why would I keep a very cute girl like you waiting" that got tenten to blush like crazy. Hayate then asked, "Are both fighters ready?" At the confirmation, he dropped his arm and said, "Then let the match BEGIN." He then jumped out of the way.

Tenten pulled a blue katana from nowhere and charged at naruto , saying, "Show me what you got blonde." naruto being one to never to displease pulled out Elemental and unwrapped it. They jumped at each other and meet tenten half way. The swords clashed sending sparks outward they jump back. Naruto brings elemental up to his chest, the fire skull on his sword started to glow and then the sword was engulfed in blue flames. This shocked everyone in the room. Then with a swing of the blade he sent a wave of fire straight at her. She dodges it and got ready for another one. Naruto smirked and took out Sinner. The flames died out and brought the sword into a reverse grip. The lighting skull this glowed and the blade just crackled with electricity. Again everyone is shocked at this. He suddenly disappeared, looking around tenten couldn't find him. Then he appeared above her going for a downward slash with a wave of lighting following the blade and barly gets away. But in doing so she walks right into the other Sinner and the naruto behind her puts elemental against her neck. She had just lost.

"Winner, Naruto Uzumaki."Sarutobi and the council couldn't help but gape at how Naruto fought, and even Anko was thinking, 'Damn, that kid is something else, I hope I can train him for the next round.'

Naruto walked up to his place on the catwalk, Hinata already there, with what looked like a small jar in hand. She then said, "Here, this is for you, I made it myself, it should help on those wounds of yours." Naruto saw a small cut on his hand, and after seeing the salve in the jar, applied some to the wound, seeing it seal up fast. He said, "Nice work, ever thinking of being a medic-nin? You have potential with salve like this, you being cute just makes even better for the job."

Hinata blushed deep red as she heard the praise, but was able to stay awake. Kiba came up to her and said "You still have Neji, as well as that sand guy as possible opponents, but whatever you do, don't fight Neji, he'll," He was cut off, as a gasp from the catwalk turned their attention to the board, and it was a sight that made Hinata's blood run cold.

Eighth match: Hinata Hyuuga vs. Neji Hyuuga.
