I hope to have him soon revising my stories. Also I hope you guys saw my account, because I'll be posting the news about my fics there.

Shinobi: Flying Thunder God by stromrune

He should have known, alter all it doesn't matter what he does there were only three types of persons when it comes to training him. First there was the typical Konoha shinobi, that only feels indifference for him, with Mizuki the exception who hated him, so they don't care whether he lives or not, resulting with him having subpar to no training and that could some day cost his live.

Then there were the teachers that actually cared about if he lives or not, but they still don't do nothing except point out his weakness and be done, instead of helping him. In this category could be included Iruka and the Hokage to a certain degree, always preaching about the will of fire and be Hokage, for which he found was no longer interested, after all why he should protect people for which he only feels indifference.

Last were probably the people he hated the most. Those that could only see the Kyubi, the Hokage may have not known, but he was no fool, he merely acted that way for recognition. He knew of the Kyubi even before the incident with Mizuki, after all, if you go to a shinobi academy and train with chakra you got to see the gigantic seal on your stomach. Besides for a closet seal enthusiast as him it was quite obvious what the seal does after entire days looking at it and it doesn't help to have someone on some guy named Danzou orders trying to train you to control demonic chakra.

His actual sensei, if it could be called that, was like a mixture between the first and second class. After the Wave mission and seeing how strong enemies could be, he started to get serious about being a shinobi. He followed the advice of his sensei and changed his clothes. He opted for a black fitting set of clothes with a black jacket with two orange lines on his arms; after all he loved the colour for some reason. Seeing that he was taken a little more seriously he followed the instructions given to him by Kakashi and Iruka and worked on the basis. He still couldn't do the bunshin with only the tree chakra exercise but he found the versatility of the basics jutsus, especially the kawarimi.

But he found his real inspiration on the Yondaime Hokage's jutsu, the Hiraishin no jutsu. Needless to say that when he found how the Yondaime managed to make an S-ranked technique from a D-ranked one, he was inspired and decided in that moment that if no one was going to teach him, he would do it himself.

His only impressive technique Kage bunshin had resulted very useful. It wasn't very long after his change, that he noted the secret of the technique. Since then he had made sure to use that technique to learn everything available in the library of seals. He had to use henge as always to be able to buy what he needed, and although he couldn't access to the most powerful seals and advances books, he had made sure to master and make good use of what he have, even if it takes a big toll on his mind. For the first time he was grateful for Kyubi's presence.

His problem now though was that his sensei doesn't feel up to the task of helping him with his taijutsu. He tried to do it by himself with his clones, but he had two problems. The first was that the academy style was not very effective and any other style that he tried was more useful for a movie than for real life. The second problem made itself known when he tried to practice one of those styles. Like when he fought Zabuza, Haku and hell, even Sasuke, it doesn't matter how many clones you make! If you suck your clones' sucks too, there's no difference, so it wasn't a surprise when there was no progress, and that's the reason that he was asking his teacher for help

"So can you help me Kakashi-sensei?" Asked Naruto

"Ma Naruto, you just came back from an A-ranked mission, why don't you train your chakra control, that way you won't strain your body and you will be ready for the chuunin exams"

"But what I am supposed to do if I can't fight in close range? And how is that monkey eye is training?" He growled. It was always the same thing, now Sakura was probably going to start screaming and Kakashi will then calm her down and dismiss him. As in on cue

"NARUTO stop being so annoying and don't call Sasuke-kun that, you're just jealous that he is better than you!!!" much to her annoyance he simply ignored her.

He had been doing this for a few weeks. She had to admit the he looked better, even hot, not that she would ever admit it. Lately he had been ignoring both her and Sasuke; she now has to face the fact that he was no longer interested in her and that, for some reason bothered her.

"What's the matter dobe jealous?" Naruto had to admit that if he would have activated a bloodline and one like the sharingan, he too would be proud. But that doesn't give him the right to put people beneath him and insult them, so he answered

"Of you and your little filthy thief eyes, in your dreams Uchiha" That was another; ever since they came back he had taken to call them by their respective surnames.

After the wave mission, Naruto started to really think about his situation in the shinobi world and especially on his team, and the conclusions he made weren't pretty.

Kakashi seeing that they were going to start another fight decided to stop it there

"Naruto, I am training Sasuke, because he needs help with his Sharingan, besides you have managed to make it this far without a style, surely you won't let that stop you right?" his eyes turned up showing that he was smiling, but Naruto was far from amused

Instead Naruto's eyes turned serious. Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke stiffened, they have never seen Naruto serious and it was like he was several years older. He looked at them for a few seconds and suddenly he turned around and started walking out of the training grounds. Seeing this Kakashi said

"Naruto where are you going, the training session is not finished, besides we still have a mission to do" while he walked away, the three could heard his answer

"I'll be here for the mission, since you don't plan to train me or Haruno; I guess that I'll do it myself , that way you will be able to concentrate in Uchiha, after all Haruno has no interest in anything shinobi related other than him"

With that he walked out of the grounds leaving two pissed gennins and worried jounin sensei. Naruto for his part went in direction to his house. He has a few things to think about and he needed to meditate.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After closing the door of his apartment he made sure that his security seals were in place. After having idiotic civilians destroying his home more than once, he didn't feel like letting shinobis; like in Kakashi's case enter his house undetected. Besides he didn't want anyone with access to his projects, in this case a combination of kawarimi and shunshin, which he planned to evolve in an S-ranked jutsu like the Yondaime when he gain more knowledge in seals, besides like his shinobi idol did working in the Hiraishin while creating the rasengan, he planned to create his own techniques, while working on his S-ranked project.

He knew that if he told this to someone, that person would probably laugh, but he wouldn't give up. He was Uzumaki Naruto and he never give up. BELIEVE IT!

"Stop talking to yourself you retarded bug, you're going to loose eve more brainpower" Oh yeah and Kyubi had taken to talk to him from time to time. Sometimes helping, like with seals and giving advice and others just to insult him for amusement

"What do you want now besides being a pain in the ass, of course?"

"How dare you, I am the uber freaking awesome Kyubi no Kitsune you filthy baboon, how…"

"Yeah yeah I already heard that before, could we skip it please?"

"Hn I don't know why I even bother…..anyway I wanted to talk to you about your training, I though that I may help you with a few things besides the few seals I know and the healing"

"Mmmm what do you want in exchange, you don't usually do this for free" He remembered the last time, the fox asked him to look for vixens for him to look trough Naruto's eyes. Needless to say that the image of a kid looking at female foxes intently was disturbing and since then he had made no deals with the demon lord. He could still could hear the fox perverted giggles.

"This time is easy, I don't want my container to be looked like the pathetic imbecile that he is"

"Hey!!"

"Whatever, so lets get to it monkey, there's only so much time I can tolerate your pitiful presence"

"Hehehe then you're fucked, seeing that you're here for life hehe" His answer was an enraged roar that gave him a good headache.

"Jeez what a temper" Naruto muttered to himself.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"First, let's start for choosing a useful taijutsu style, instead of those pathetic things that you bought early, honestly of all the humans…." Kyubi said, making Naruto's tic increase with his annoyance

"Fine fine, okay here we are" he said entering the shinobi archive. It was a good thing that Taijutsu except for the most powerful techniques, that usually required chakra, was fairly unrestricted, so he has access to a wide variety.

The reason academy students don't usually come here was for the simple fact that learning from a scroll, could never be compared to learn from an experienced teacher. Naruto supposed that he should at least be thankful that he at least learned to hit an opponent correctly, without damaging himself, like punch someone and then break your hand. Besides, he supposed that the fox had encountered humans with whatever style he chooses so he would be a good help.

"Good, now try to look for a style called muay boran" was the answer from the fox

"What the… you blasted fox, what kind of name is muay boran it sounds like some ramen recipe"

"YOU IMBECILE BRAT, HOW DARE YOU TO QUESTION ME, BESIDES THAT'S A STRONG STYLE" the scream of the fox, made Naruto holds his head in pain "And for your information, that's a ancient style not used anymore, because their moves usually cripple the opponent for life, now go and get it"

It took him an hour to find the scroll; it was a big yellow with some inscriptions. It seemed that it was very old and people hardly acknowledge it, so he decided to take with him the only and last scroll for it. After reading it for a few minutes he heard the Kyubi speak again

"Sooooo admit it"

"What?"

"You know what, say it" this time he growled

"Okay you friggin egomaniac….you're awesome and the world must bow to your awesomeness…happy?"

"Hn and don't you forget it insect"

"Sigh….can we focus here, what's next?"

"Well, we are going to buy a scroll"

"…."

"…."

"I just did you stupid overgrown pest"

"YOU FILTHY MONKEY, I WAS REFERRING TO A SCROLL HALF YOUR HEIGHT "

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked confused

"I mean that you will use this scroll as your safe, in it you will seal not only surviving necessities, but you will put everything you know, from your already known techniques to your progress with unfinished ones, after that you will put a blood and chakra seal, the last being a combination of both of our chakras, that way no one will be able to access to it, understand or do I say it slowly for your poorly evolved human brain?"

"Yeah I understand no need to insult jeez"

After entering the shop, it wasn't long to find a good scroll. Well more like Kyubi choose it. It's was a big black scroll with red stripes. He asked for Uzumaki to be put in red on it. It wasn't easy since everyone hated him, but saying that he was under the Hokage's instructions was enough incentive.

Right after paying for the scroll Naruto went directly to his house, making sure to send a shadow clone with his team. They won't be happy, but he didn't especially care so he made a few clones and made them start adding the seals, while he started writing down what little he know of the shinobi arts. He started with how to produce chakra right up to his Kage bunshin and his seal knowledge. After that he made a copy of his muay boran scroll and sealed the original with his other techniques and last he started writing the results of his investigations.

He had gotten to the point in where he needed more chakra control and definitely more seal knowledge, his future S-ranked jutsu, the hybrid between kawarimi and shunshin held a lot of promise and he had every intention of surpassing the Yondaime, after all he didn't have a millenary demon helping him. It was curious because a few weeks back he considered the Yondaime his hero, now tough it has become something like a goal to surpass him, and taking into consideration that he disliked the fact that he sealed in him a demon, well he felt kind of like with Sasuke, a mixture between indifference and annoyance, just that he still admired the Yondaime's strength unlike Sasuke was just a talented little gennin.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

For the following days he had made sure to master the basics, his Kage bunshin and learned a bit of Muay Boran. It wasn't much, only the basic moves, but he was sure that it was enough to deal with people from his class, except Sasuke in taijutsu, who had been training in his family style for more time.

Speaking of which they were now about to enter the first part of the chuunin exam and if the glares directed at him by his team mates was any indication, they were not happy of him sending a clone most of the time and even more with their encounter with those Suna shinobis he intervened

FLASHBACK

Naruto was on his way to his house after a hard day of training. He had managed to make the design he wanted for his special "kunai". He knew that he still needed to complete the seal array and with so little knowledge he couldn't. It seemed that he would have to ask permission to the Sandaime to access to the most advances seals.

He was distracted from his thoughts when he felt a presence behind him. He could only sigh and be a little amused at seeing a square rock following him.

"Okay you three, get out of there" an explosion later three kids stood in front of him.

"Hey boss, how about we play ninja?" before he could answer a voice interrupted him

"What kind of ninja, play ninja?" said Haruno Sakura with a mocking tone. Much to her annoyance he ignored her again and continued

"What do you guys say to actually learn a real ninja technique?" at this the kids were jumping with happiness. Sakura decided to meddle again

"Really and what are you going to teach them, how to be useless?" she snapped

"Well I was thinking more along the lines of Katon Goukakyu no jutsu" it was a simple technique, you only needed chakra with no control and it would piss off both Sakura and Sasuke. As predicted

"WHAT? As if you could…" he couldn't finish because Konohamaru interrupted her

"Hey boss, is this girl your… you know" understanding what he was referring to, he answered

"No Konohamaru, that won't ever happen" at this Sakura felt a pang for some reason but she hide it well

"Hn of course not boss, I know that you will never be with something like her, I mean look at hear, a movie screen for forehead and bubblegum pink hair? Hahaha" Konohamaru laughed. His laugher soon turned to horror when Sakura started chasing after him.

The chase came to a halt when he crashed with some guy in a weird black suit and crappy make up. Naruto had to admit that the girl besides the guy was hot. Seeing the girl blushing he averted his gaze to the weird guy missing the slightly jealous look from Sakura and the pleased one from the other girl.

"You damn brat, I am going to give you a lesson in manners you won't forget"

"I would appreciate if you let go of my friend, not only he is the grandson of the Hokage, he is my friend and I will gladly rip you apart if you harm him" he said in a soft tone and a little smile. A trick he learned from the fox. He didn't show no emotion, no killing intent, making him look even creepier (think of Aizen).

The black clothed guy decided to ignore him

"Don't worry I will deal with you in a moment" Turning to Konohamaru, he and everyone else were surprised to find the kid gone and in his place was a kunai with an exploding tag. Turning to Naruto he found him with the boy at his side.

"Now you should calm down a little, we don't want that tag to explode, are we?" after a shake from the others head he simply turned around and started to walk away with Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi, who were all telling him how cool that was.

Before he was completely gone he heard the Suna girl call him

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Uzumaki Naruto"

"Sabaku no Temari"

"A pleasure I assure you" to be polite, that was another lesson that he had learnt from so many people point it out to him. While he walked away with the Konohamaru corps he noted that to the two Suna Nins and Sakura had joined Sasuke and some red haired kid, but since he didn't cared, he went on his way

END FLASHBACK

After having to deal with a little scene by Sasuke and having enjoyed how a green creepy guy beat the brooding teenager's ass, he was in good humor. Of course it was immediately ruined by the Uchiha blond fan girl.

"Sasuke-kun I missed you so much!!" said Yamanaka Ino hugging the Uchiha, much to the avenger's irritation

"Leave Sasuke-kun alone, Ino-pig!!!" from there the two started a bickering contest in which Naruto wasn't especially interested

"So you guys came too…troublesome" a lazy voice said, indicating Shikamaru's presence with Chouji not long behind

"Shikamaru, Chouji" were the soft spoken words of Naruto, said with a smile. The others were surprised since it was weird find a Naruto without his usual loud voice. They were about to comment on it when a loud voice interrupt them.

"YAHOO!! So everyone is here, it won't matter because Team 8 will rock this exam!" the loud and arrogant voice of Kiba could be heard in all the room, and if looks could kill, he would be already six foot under.

"Hn you seem confident mutt, lets hope that you don't get killed before I kick your ass"

"Tse, I won't lose to you Uchiha"

"W-w-where is N-Naruto-kun?" the timid voice of Hinata made itself known

"Yeah where is the dead last?" said Kiba

"The dead last, as you put it is here, and at least he had the decency to stay quiet and don't paint a bulls eye on himself, like your imbecile self just did with your stupid voice" Naruto said with a soft voice, but it had an edge to it that made them tense. He saw Shino nodding in approval.

Seeing Naruto dressed in black and with a big scroll on the back, made Hinata look at him and blush, something that Sakura and Temari from afar noted and they were not happy about it. They were interrupted again though

"You rookies should listen to your blondie comrade" said a gray haired guy

"You are one to talk, grandma" said Naruto with a smile. Hiding his annoyance Kabuto continued tough

"You should be more careful, with the tension usually present in these exams; you rookies are usually the firsts to die. Seeing that you're new to this I'll give you a little information with my chakra cards"

Naruto immediately went back to his own thoughts, keeping an ear open for the information. It described Rock Lee and amusingly enough him. The last was that red headed kid, Gaara. It seemed that the guy was strong. Kyubi decided to give him a little information.

"Hn that's Shukaku's vessel, he have no scratch because of the sand, it's an automatic defense, the kid is strong, but his strength is unfocused"

"I'll be sure to be prepared in case he attacks me; do you think that I can take him with that trick combined with your chakra?"

"Mmmm maybe, but to me you pitiful humans are all weak, as long as you are not defeated , I'll be okay, the container of the great Kyubi no Kitsune can't be weak, do you understand monkey"

That gave place to a lot of bickering between him and the fox that came to an end with the attack to Kabuto. Immediately after, they were able to do the first part for which he simply let the fox amuse himself doing it. For the second part though they have a purple haired beauty as a proctor.

"Okay you losers welcome to the forest of death, where the second part of the exam start" she looked at everyone in the clearing. Her eyes stopped in a blond haired kid dressed totally in black, except for two orange lines on his arms.

She found that instead of looking at her with fear or interest, he was checking her out and a little blood could be seen coming out of his nose. Of course she didn't know that Kyubi was amusing himself sending Naruto images of her naked and doing a little few things with Naruto. Faster that almost anyone could track she let a kunai fly and managed to scratch Naruto's cheek. She then disappeared, to appear at his side licking the blood that came out of his cheek. Murmuring so that nobody could hear them she hissed at him

"What the hell is doing a brat like you checking me out?" At this Naruto let a little smile grace his face and answered

"What? I was appreciating the best view there is in this village, besides you didn't seem to mind" Anko blushed a little and was about to answer, but they were interrupted by some long tongued freak. Before she left she made clear that their conversation wasn't finished.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Why, oh why everything happens around him? Just for one he wished that it happened to someone else. They were happily…well he at least, after all it wasn't everyday that you meet a hot babe. Anyway they have managed to acquire another heaven scroll from a particular stupid mist team and were on their way when a strong wind hits them on their back.

Now while Naruto don't use elemental techniques that doesn't mean that he has no knowledge or experience with them, he just preferred to learn and create non elemental ones, like Kage bunshin, especially seal less or ones that required chakra manipulation for two simple reasons. First they can not be copied, because they either need an especial way of manipulating chakra that can not be emulated nor have seals. The other reason was that in case he ever married and have descendants, he couldn't be sure which elemental affinities they will have, so the clan techniques will have to be common to everyone. After all everyone has chakra in one way or another.

So it wasn't especially surprising when he stuck to the tree and holds himself against the attack. It soon was clear who the opponent was. It was that freak from before, just that this time he revealed himself to be Orochimaru. After a little fight he had bitten Sasuke's neck leaving what looked like a seal. Now though the bastard snake was trying to see what they can do.

"Kukuku what's the problem Naruto-kun, you seemed so confident before" making three Kage bunshin he made two of then take Sasuke and Sakura's useless ass to safety, while the other stayed at his side

"Ohhh so you're going to fight me to save your team mates kukuku amusing" Naruto though had no such intention. Faster than Sasuke before, he attacked with a few punch and kicks, expecting for the traitor Sannin to attack; a thunderous fist to the chest told him everything he needed to know, wheezing, he performed a incredibly fast kawarimi with his clones and focused all his chakra on his feet's speeding in his team-mate's direction. He heard the distinct sound of his full of exploding tags clone destruction and went faster.

Orochimaru for his part was no amused. First the kid performed a kawarimi so fast that he almost couldn't track it and switched with a clone that had exploding tags ---self created, he noted— even on his mouth. The blasted thing had the sheer gall of giving him the finger while laughing like a hyena. But one thing was sure. He would have the kyubi vessel watched and if possible he would use him to help him get Sasuke.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"What are we going to do now, without Sasuke-kun we won't be able to finish, besides why the hell didn't you help him you useless idiot" spat Sakura, starting scared but getting angrier with each word. Naruto wasn't especially amused

"Ohh and what did you expect, for me to fight a SANNIN just to save some one who was arrogant enough to do it, besides if there is someone useless, that's you, I at least took us out of there, what did you do besides crying?" seeing that she had no answer except tearing up a bit he continued

"Now do something useful and wait me here. Since I at least have some knowledge of seals, I'll see what I can do, you watch out for enemies"

Sakura simply nodded. She didn't know why, but ever since the Wave mission Naruto had been changing and she doesn't like it one bit. Before he would have never told her such hurtful things, but now he was completely different. She had to admit that he was a lot hotter, but he no longer desired her and he had been treating her with indifference for some time.

Naruto for his part was analyzing the seal. Not because he was worried for Sasuke, it was because if Orochimaru gave him this seal, it was because it was powerful, so with Kyubi's help he started memorizing it and testing it, making the unconscious Sasuke whimper.

"Okay brat, you can stop with the seal, we have all the data we can get, but there is something that I want you to do for my help this time" he should have known of course, but he listened anyway.

"I want you to channel a bit of my chakra in the Uchiha's eyes"

"WHAT? Are you crazy, what would I do something like that, is this someway for you to escape fox?

"SILENCE, INSOLENT BRAT, I WANT YOU TO DO IT AS A SAFEGUARD, TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY YOU GET TO ADVANCE YOURSELF"

"What do you mean?"

"Never let an Uchiha power, they are the most corrupt creatures that ever existed, what my chakra will do, is act as a controlled exploding tag. The moment you flare my chakra in a ram seal, his eyes will be destroyed"

"But why do you want to do this?"

"That kid will do everything for power and an Uchiha is especially dangerous to you, having me sealed within you; Let just say that the seal will give him more power and will make him even more unstable " the extremely serious tone of the demon told him to do it

"Okay I'll do it" placing his hands on Sasuke's eyes, he channelled the Kyubi's chakra and let him control to where he want it to go. Immediately Sasuke started trashing letting a little scream of pain.

"Hey Kyubi, what is your problem with the Uchiha clan?" he received no answer. He took the hint

After finishing, he closed his scroll, in which he put the notes of the curse seal and went outside of the tree to find Sakura trying to fight off three Oto nins. He supposed that he didn't feel them, with him taking notes and speaking with Kyubi.

"Ohh look at this Dosu, there was another little gennin here, it seems that we'll have to kill them to fight the Uchiha" a guy with a spiked hair said to the bandaged one

"Whatever Zaku, make it fast we have no time to waste with these trash" Naruto noted that the black haired girl with them was laughing too, so he answered with his now usual soft tone

"You shouldn't have come here, I really don't feel like fighting, but if you make me, I'll have no other choice but to disable you" his answer was met with laugher.

The guy named Zaku shoot him a wind blast, that with surprising speed he evaded. Throwing a shuriken he saw how the arrogant Oto gennin was going to attack again. Before Zaku could react Naruto substituted himself with the shuriken and using the speed provided by the flying metal, he lashed with a punch to the temple, making pass out the gennin.

Seeing their fallen comrade, Dosu dashed at Naruto with his arm extended. Naruto had seen what the arm could do, so using a simple shunshin; he got behind Dosu and rammed a Kunai on both of his shoulder, cutting the movement of his arms and making the arrogant gennin scream. By now the black haired girl was trembling, so he decided to let them go. He knew that he shouldn't, after all they were enemies, but he didn't care. Sakura was looking at him, like if he was some saviour god. Turning to the girl Naruto started talking

"Your scroll for your team mates, as simple as that" the girl who was scared by now just nodded

Right after they were gone, Naruto turned and looked in direction to a tree

"You three up there can come out, the same for you guys" instantly Team 10 came out of a few bushes and from the tree came down Team Gai.

"YOSH NARUTO-SAN YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH SHINE LIKE A THOUSAND SUNS, YOSH I HOPE TO FIGHT YOU IN THE FUTURE"

"Enough Lee, we've wasted enough time with these losers as it is" the Hyuga was about to continue when a blast of corrupted chakra was felt around the clearing.

Everyone turned to find Sasuke with a crazed smirk. The Uchiha looked at the condition in which Sakura was and immediately assumed that the other teams were there to take the scrolls.

Ignoring the scream from Haruno for him to stop he attacked, a fist send Shikamaru to a tree, he was about to attack Chouji, but Naruto appeared in front of him blocking him. He could feel the disgusting chakra that Sasuke was using and it was spreading more and more in form of black flames in all his body. Seeing that he was going to get them killed like that, he let go of Sasuke and taking advantage of him loosing his footing, he chopped him in the back on the head

Sasuke immediately fell unconscious, his marks receding. Taking him on his arms, he throws Shikamaru his second heaven scroll as an apology for his team mate and telling Sakura to move it, they went it the tower direction.

Arriving at the tower they found that there was no one except them. Doing the only logical thing they opened the scrolls and a moment later in their place was Iruka. Seeing the state in which Sasuke was Iruka called immediately for medic nins and Kakashi.

Upon seeing his student with a curse seal he told his other students to report what happened. Naruto noted how his eye narrowed upon mentioning about his knowledge of seals and how they escaped. He was instructed to go see the Hokage after finishing the second part of the exam.

The next morning Sasuke was awakened and was told what happened. He was quite pissed that the dead-last had saved him and defeated an entire team without his help. He had no time to tell anything because the preliminary rounds were going to start.

After introducing a guy that looked half dead as the third part proctor, he asked if anyone wanted to give up. Kabuto, the guy they met at the beginning of the exam gave up, very weird because he was in perfect condition.

With that started the fights; while they weren't especially exciting, they were informative about his future opponents. His good humour ruined when he saw who his opponent was. No other than Kiba, he supposed that he could have a fairly friendly fight, after all they were comrades

"Yahoooo! We lucked out Akamaru; we got the dead-last, there's no way we loose, I think you won't even need to fight" the tough of friendly fight died there, he was going to teach this overly stupid mutt why it was a bad idea to insult him.

Taking his time to reach the arena, he found Kiba with his usual arrogant grin. He supposed that if he hasn't changed he would be like that or lose his patient and rush to beat him. Now though the mutt was in deep trouble.

"Inuzuka Kiba vs. Uzumaki Naruto…. Begin!!" The moment the proctor said that Kiba used his beast transformation and rushed at him.

Meanwhile with the jounin-senseis Kurenai was looking at Kakashi with a smug face. Kakashi just raised his eyebrow

"I am sorry Kakashi, but your student's luck just ran out, Kiba is just too strong"

"Really, Naruto looks to be doing pretty well, in fact he actually looks bored" it was true, Naruto was just eyeing the mutt, while this was trying to hit him

"Hm, he may evade his attacks now, but he won't be able to evade his secret techniques"

"I agree, according to his stats, Kiba is way out of his league" said Asuma

"Really, tell you what" said Kakashi in his usual lazy tone "what about a bet?"

"Sure, if Naruto wins, I'll train him in genjutsu for you when the exams are over, if he loses to Kiba" here she adopted a sadistic tone that made Anko proud "you'll burn all those books"

At this Kakashi paled. Naruto was capable of loosing just to see him lose his books. Down in the arena Naruto sneezed. In the end he accepted with reluctance and prayed that Naruto wins.

Down in the arena, Naruto was actually bored, the mutt was incredibly slow, so he decided to attack. Kiba was about to hit him with a claw when Naruto ducked under it and responded with a fist to the chin and followed with a knee in to the stomach, making Kiba spat a bit of blood and sending him crashing into his dog.

In the stands, the jounins were wide eyed. Here was the dead last of the academy kicking a supposedly stronger opponent's ass.

Kiba was now pissed Naruto noted. He decided to use a little technique he had created. It was not a big technique. In fact he had been working on this for three years now. The technique he was going to use was a part of the process of learning his actual technique. His scroll was full of notes for it.

"I think its time I put you in your place dead-last" snarled Kiba, taking a pill, he feed it to his dog and Naruto noted that the puppy had turned red. It seemed that this was his surprise technique. He noted with irritation that the mutt though that they were some kind of pack and thinks of himself the alpha dog, while him the omega one. He made a few clones so that way he wouldn't know who to attack

"Jujin bunshin" Akamaru had just transformed in another Kiba, the both of then jumps in the air and start spinning in his direction.

"GATSUGAAA"

Both Akamaru and Kiba started ripping through his clones, allowing him to take out a couple of smoke bombs. Throwing them in the floor, huge clouds of orange smoke follow it. The bombs were for his pranks, so that the Inuzukas could not track him. In the cloud both Kiba and Akamaru had stopped since they could not track Naruto.

Taking advantage of this Naruto reared his fist back and used his technique.

BOOOM

An explosion sends both Kiba and Akamaru like raged dolls against a wall. All the audience could see blood coming out of their ears. Everyone was just looking with wide eyes at the scene. Kakashi was the most surprised, because he couldn't see anything

"Winner Uzumaki Naruto"

Nobody clapped, everyone were too surprised to do anything. Kurenai's face was a mixture of anger and worry, the last one for her student. After Naruto's fight the rest was pretty boring except for Lee and Hinata's fights. The last one, he promised himself that the Hyuga would pay. He was going to take their pride and crush it. He was on his way out when an Anbu landed in front of him

"Uzumaki Naruto, the Hokage request your presence, he expect to see you tomorrow at 9:00 am, since he can't see you today" at this Naruto nodded and bided farewell to the Anbu. It was the first one to treat him with education after all.

Besides he still had things to do today. Going in the same direction that Kakashi went, he wasn't surprised to find himself at the Hospital. Quickly spotting Kakashi, he went in his direction. Kakashi seeing him spoke first.

"I know what you want and I am sorry to say that I can not train you" Naruto could only sigh. He had done it again and trusted in the man once more "I know that you're pissed, but I found you a good trainer and….wait Naruto"

The moment he indicated that he was going to left him to some other idiot to train; he decided that he was going to do as always and from then on, train by himself with the fox little input. He ignored Kakashi's calls and got out of the hospital.

Walking out the blacksmith shop with his future jutsu weapon, he was happy to find that it was perfect. The design unlike the Yondaime's specials kunais, was actually a nodachi in size and form, but was made like a kunai. In other words, it was the handle of a kunai a bit longer in which he could place the necessary seal arrays, but the rest was like a nodachi (think of Zatoichi sword, the handle, like a kunai, with circle and all or Kimimaro shoulder). He had already sealed it and was on his way to practice the water walking technique that the fox told him when he bumped into some one.

Looking up, he saw a big white haired man, with green and red clothes and what looked two read tears painted on his face. He recognised him as Jirayja of the Sannin. Apologizing quietly he started to go on his way to his house when the voice of the man stopped him

Jirayja for his part looked at the kid and found that the description given to him by his sensei was far from the truth. He observed that the kid had what looked like a giant sealing scroll. Jirayja was sure that his student would be proud of his son learning about seals. Deciding to train the kid for a bit to see what he could do, he stopped him.

"Hey kid, are you Uzumaki Naruto?"

"Yes, what of it?"

"The Hokage asked me to train you for the finals so follow me"

Nodding, he followed the guy to a clearing; which he noted had a good view of a bunch of girls, he deduced that the guy was just a big pervert. Said pervert started making hand seals. Naruto tensed, but a moment later there was a big frog with a big scroll. He looked at Jirayja for an explanation. This one immediately puffed his chest and told him.

"This is a summoning contract for the toads" Jirayja noted that Naruto tensed. Naruto though remembered where he heard of this guy. He was the fourth teacher, besides he had planned to make a trip and try to gain his own summoning contract with Kyubi's help, who knew where to start looking. And to top it, he disliked toads; the only one he liked was his Gama-chan thank you very much. He didn't hate them, it just that he found them creepy.

"I am sorry, but I wont sign it" at this Jirayja's jaw dropped. What kind of fool doesn't want to sign the famous toad summoning contract? He voiced his question and was answered in the same soft and firm tone Naruto used before

"While they may be strong, I don't like toads very much, and I wont be able to sign another contract in the future in case I came across one that compliment my skills" Seeing this Jirayja sighed

"Your lose kid, but since you don't want to learn this I guess that I'll teach you another thing" after rubbing his chin for a moment he started speaking again " Tell me one thing, have you noted that you have two charkas"

"Kyubi" Naruto simply said. He knew where this was going and he didn't like it

"Ohh so you know, well that made it easier, now have you tried to use his power?" tired of this he said

"Look, thank you for the offer of training, but I'll manage myself, I have no need to use borrowed power while I have mine"

"What? Do you know what you can do with that kind of power, you could..."

"Do you think you're the first to ask me? Huh? I am going to say it only once more, I won't use the fox power, and I will only relay in my own power and nothing more, now if you excuse me, it was a pleasure meeting you, good bye"

With that he walked away with a murderous expression. How dare this guy and the old man to try make him use the fox power? He was more disappointed in the Hokage; he thought that he got the hint after he made Iruka try to convince him to train with it. That had made their relation rather strained with both of them, but this was almost an insult. He was going to have a little talk with the Hokage about this tomorrow and he bowed that by the end of this exam he would be strong enough to wipe the floor with almost everyone.

"The Hokage is waiting for you" said the secretary with distaste. Naruto didn't even bother with a reply. These people just have his indifference now.

"Ahh Naruto-kun, come in "inside with the Hokage was Jirayja.

"Hokage-sama" he said coldly. The Sandaime could only sigh.

"Naruto, I know that you don't want to use the Kyubi chakra, but Jirayja here had found that an organization called Akatsuki is after the tailed beast so we got to make you strong as fast as possible" Even if this was a good reason he still wasn't going to use borrowed power

"I understand, but I won't be getting stronger, just borrowing power, I refuse" Naruto said firmly. He had been bothered enough with the demon prejudice, to now start using his power and gives them reason to it. Seeing that he wouldn't agree he changed to another topic

"There is also the fact that you don't want to sign the summoning contract, do you realize that is not everyday you get to sign one?"

"Hai, but …" he directed his gaze to the Yondaime's picture for a moment "I am not especially fond of toads, let just say that I have phobia"

Neither the Hokage nor Jirayja missed the look to the portrait, but they stayed quiet. Especially Sarutobi and he was worried because of he change in Naruto

"Naruto-kun, what happened to change you this much?"

"Many things, for starter I realized that I wasn't serious about being shinobi, so I started working, I realized that being Hokage was just a way to escape the hate of this village, for whose villagers I can only feel indifference, making me unfit to be Hokage, not that they would let me. And last I realized, that if I want to be strong, I have to work for it myself, since no one is going to help me"

"Now Naruto you have people who cares about you and would be more than willing to help you, there's Iruka and of course Kakashi" at this he let out a hollow laugh that almost broke the old Hokage's heart

"Oh yes those two. How about I tell you what I learned from them. From Iruka I learned nothing, all the knowledge required to graduate from the academy I have to train myself to the point of pass out because neither he nor the other teachers could see pass the jailer. He accepted me yes and I was grateful for it, but he wasn't able to overcome his grudge until the end and by then it was too late for me to learn anything from the academy" While sad the Hokage had to ask himself since when was Naruto able to speak like this

"Then we have Kakashi, I thought that he would be a good teacher, but instead the only thing I learned from him was tree walking, even the water walking technique I have to learn it from the scrolls I bought and when I think that he was going to teach me because of the exams, he goes and says that he can't, probably to go and train the bloodline boy. And last we have Jirayja-san here, who actually tried to teach me something, but I thought I made clear I hated use Kyubi's chakra, so please forgive me if my enthusiasm for teachers is not much" by the end the Hokage and Jirayja could only look at him with a bit of sadness and disappointment on themselves. Regaining his self-control, Sarutobi said

"I see, Naruto I told you about the reasons for the Kyubi, as for Kakashi he was asked by the council and me to train Sasuke, that way he would be watched with the curse seal on him and Orochimaru we can't afford to lower our defences"

"I wasn't complaining about him, I was just stating facts, plain and simple. I can understand that, but there's no reason for him to let us without training for months and only teach us tree walking. I would have thought that some one who has copied more than a thousand techniques have something to teach their students or at least correct theirs weakness, either way I actually prefer train alone, so is all good"

It pained Sarutobi that the usually cheerful Naruto had become in this serious kid. Letting a sigh he just let the subjects drop and asked for his report from the forest and Orochimaru. He was surprised about Naruto uses of clones. He already seen him fight, in the preliminaries, but he still was impressed how Naruto dealt with the Inuzuka kid so fast.

"Very well Naruto-kun, I guess this is all. Before you go I guess that I can help you at least a little with your training giving you some scrolls, so tell me what do you need to help you?"

Naruto let a thin smile appear on his face. This was a good opportunity to reach new heights on his training and mend bridges with his grandfather figure. He still cared for the old man after all.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

For an entire month nobody saw Naruto. Many people were worried, especially in Ichiraku, where he could be usually found. Naruto for his part was happy. After a little discussion in the Hokage tower, he had come out with a big tome in the most advanced seals, something that took him a good amount of time to convince them since Jirayja wanted to teach him that, and two jutsus, specifically, the kage bunshin for shurikens and the explosive clone.

He had managed to train a lot and had finally finished his technique. It was ironic because he finished and mastered it after three years of work. Jirayja that came from time to time to see his progress and teach him the rasengan for some reason that Naruto didn't understand, saying that it was vital that he learn it and seals, had laugh after Naruto explained his technique. He said that like the Yondaime with rasengan, it took him three years to create and master. His laugh died when Naruto told him, that unlike the rasengan, this one got stronger with time and control, and that it took little chakra, because it was a matter off moving the chakra, not releasing it.

Another similarity that the technique had with the rasengan was that it was divided in three steps. Speaking of which, he had managed to learn the rasengan. The bloody thing was hard to do. He still could only do it with a clone's help. After the exam, he would have to practice to do it one handed and making it in a second.

Now though after writing down his four new techniques in the scroll and the book on seals, he was going in direction to the stadium. He had no doubt, that he would beat the arrogant gennin after what he did to Hinata. While he was not a very good friend of her, she never insulted him, and was always nice to him although creepy sometimes.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Okay, everyone except Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Neji, please leave the field" said the proctor, who Naruto noted was different. He supposed that the sick looking one died or something.

"Why do you even bother, you were a loser at the academy, fate decrees that you will lose this match to me" said arrogantly the Hyuga.

"So if that's true, then that means you should bow to me, after all you're a slave right?" Naruto said with a little smile. He knew because of Jirayja. Neji expression turned murderous.

"YOU BASTARD!!" he moved to attack but the proctor stopped him

"I haven't say fight yet" he informed Neji

"Tut tut, temper Hyuga; you will get what you deserve shortly" he ended coldly

"First fight of the finals: Uzumaki Naruto vs. Hyuga Neji. Begin!! "

Neji immediately rushed at him aiming to his chest so he could finish quickly. Using shunshin, which surprised everyone, he created some distance between them and took the opportunity to throw a shuriken at Neji. Said person who had activated his eyes after Naruto's show of speed scoffed at the single shuriken. His expression turned to horror though when he saw how the lone kunai turned into twenty of them. He immediately started spinning shouting his technique

"Kaiten!!"

In the crow everyone gasped except for Tenten whose expression has changed from smug thinking that Neji was going to win to a fan girlish one, at seeing Naruto's technique. Hiashi was explaining his daughter about the technique and how Neji was the most talented in the Hyuga. Hinata was looking at Naruto worried and everyone else was waiting to see what Naruto was going to do.

In the fighting arena, Neji had stopped spinning.

"See, it's useless, this is my absolute defence, and a simpleton like you had no hopes of hitting me"

"I don need to do it. I plan to win without even touching you; it would be a waste of time hitting a weakling like you" at this Neji's eyes narrowed

"What did you said loser?"

"Exactly that, you see, with you pissed at me, it was fairly easy to throw a shuriken like that without you noticing how different it is from others" at this Neji and everyone noted that where the usual hole in the middle of a shuriken was, it covered by some red circular tag.

"You see now I only need to send a chakra signal for all those shuriken surrounding you explode and give you some nasty burns, so I'll give you the chance of apologizing to Hinata and surrender or I can always get the pleasure of seeing you go boom"

Neji and everyone who knows Naruto were astonished. The kid only needed a technique and one that was commonly used as a diversion to completely destroy an opponent and a Hyuga at that.

"Like I am going to believe some loser like you, I wont apologize, do you have any idea what I've been through?" here he started telling Naruto some emo story, which Naruto simply didn't care

"So if you think I am going to do that, then you are more of a loser than I thought, besides I think you're bluffing" at this Naruto just looked at him and let out a chakra pulse.

BOOOMM

The explosives in the shurikens that surrounded Neji went out creating a massive explosion. When the smoke cleared everyone could see a big crater with a heavily burned Neji unconscious on it. Gemma seeing this declared Naruto the winner. Nobody applauded; everyone was just looking at Neji and Naruto no believing what they were seeing. Gemma couldn't fault them. What kind of psycho used so many bombs?

Far away from there a blond man sneezed, blowing himself up and losing a fight with Uchiha Itachi.

After a moment when the stadium started cheering Naruto, he simply bowed and went in direction to the competitors stand. He was lucky since he had no need to use any other of his four new techniques, but he had a feeling that he would end needing them soon and he couldn't wait to show it.

END CHAPTER

AN: I know, the fights are short, don't worry, they'll be better and last longer as the characters grow stronger. This is how I see shinobi fights. Everything can happen. The stronger shinobis are like they are, because of ability and quick thinking. You can be incredibly strong, but a senbon with poison can still kill you, if it hits you. If you're caught off guard you're dead. In this case information is the key. Naruto knew Neji was strong, but in determined areas. The Hyuga limits themselves by only using their techniques. The Inuzukas, by using a dog as a partner, they gain they strengths, but also theirs weakness.
