Snakes of Konoagakure
~A/N~ the winners were versions 1&2. So I am going to mix them and work from there. Whether you hate it or not I'm going to try some bashing in this.
Naruto Uzumaki stood alongside his two teammates Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha waiting for their sensei to show. As per usual he was very late. Naruto leaned against a tree trying to think of what they, and by they he really meant Sasuke, would learn today. But he didn't really care he had found out a secret last night when he was trying to work on his Taijutsu by fighting a horde of clones.
That secret was whatever his clones learned he would learn. At least that's what he thought it was. After defeating all his clones he noticed he had their memories of how he beat each one. This made him very happy he finally had something over Sasuke.
Naruto looked up just in time to see Kakashi appear via a shunshin. With his standard 'Yo' greeting the day began.
"Kakashi-Sensei! What are we going to learn today?" Naruto asked hoping he would finally give himself and Sakura some pointers. Kakashi looked at him and gave an eyes smile.
"Naruto I need you to work on your chakra control… it's abysmal at best… so get a leaf and practice by holding on your head for as long as you can. Sakura you need to work on your physical conditioning still so start running laps. Sasuke it's time we work on your Taijutsu," Kakashi said making Naruto simply turn and walk away. This happened every day. He would give him and Sakura some mundane thing to do while he would focus on Sasuke.
Naruto rolled his eyes and left the field not feeling like training. He knew there wasn't a mission today or they would've done that before their training. If you could call it that. Naruto stopped when he remember that a certain Hyuga had shoved him a few days ago for no reason. It was time for some payback.
Kakashi watched Naruto simply leave the training ground and gave a sigh. It seemed like Naruto didn't even care about getting stronger. All that mattered to him was pranking someone.
~One Hour Later~
No sated in his need for petty revenge on the Hyuga, who now had bright yellow hair and only orange clothes, Naruto moved out of the village and into a field to being his new training he had concocted. If he really learned what his clones learned he could really kick up his training.
"Ok if I remember it right… I remembered the hits and how they happened but I didn't get any stronger… so maybe it doesn't help with my actual strength and what not… so maybe keep them on chakra control… I'm going to need a lot of leaves," Naruto though. He stopped when he heard a crash and a figure came flying into his vision.
"Whoa what the hell Kiba?" Naruto asked looking at his former classmate.
"Eh Naruto?" Kiba looked at the blonde in surprise.
"Hey man what are you doing out here?" Naruto asked.
"Personal training time with Kurenai-Sensei… she gives each of us a few hours a day two days a week to help us focus on fixing our weaknesses and improving our strengths," Kiba explained.
"Why'd you stop charging Kiba?," Kurenai said as she appeared on top of a toppled tree.
"Hello Kurenai-san," Naruto gave a light bow to the Jonin.
"Hello Uzumaki-san," Kurenai gave a light wave in return.
"Not to interrupt your training Kiba, Kurenai-san… but I have a quick question and since my Jonin sensei has been less than useless in training our team I was hoping you might be able to answer my question real quick?" Naruto asked. Kureni glanced at Kiba for a moment then gave a smile.
"Sure we'll take lunch now Kiba," Kurenai said with a soft smile.
"Hai Sensei," Kiba said as he sped off to find Akamaru and to get their lunches.
"What would you like to ask me?" Kurenai asked.
"My sensei has said on countless occasions that my chakra control is abysmal at best. What I was wondering was if there is a better way to learn chakra control over the leaf exercise?" Naruto asked. Kurenai rubbed her chin for a moment wondering if it would be ok to show him the two exercises she knew. After a moment she gave in the boy was asking for help and who was she to send him away.
"I know of two. Water walking and tree climbing," Kurenai said.
"Water walking sounds right but tree climbing?" Naruto asked. Kureni nodded then moved over to a tree and proceeded to walk up it. "Oh like that," Naruto watched in surprise as she easily walked up half the tree and back down.
"The key to tree walking is getting the right amount of chakra to stick you to the tree. Too much and break the bark and shoot off too little and you slip and fall," Kurenai explained.
"And water walking?" Naruto asked.
"Get tree climbing down first then I'll show you water walking," Kurenai said Naruto nodded happily then took off to start training.
"Thank you Kurenai-sensei!" Naruto shouted as he disappeared into the forest.
'I should probably tell Hokage-sama that Team Seven hasn't learned tree climbing yet,' Kurenai thought as she turned back as Kiba landed back in the clearing with their food.
Naruto barely managed to stumble into his apartment at the end of the night. He hadn't expected the blow back from his clones to hurt as much as it did. His head felt like it was on fire. He reached his bed and hit it with a thud ready to fall asleep until he heard a soft knock on his window.
"Eh?" Naruto asked as he opened the window to see an ANBU.
"Hokage-sama wishes to see you tomorrow morning at ten," the ANBU said.
"Understood," Naruto said with a nod the ANBU vanished and Naruto fell asleep.
~The Next Morning~
Team Seven stood before the Konoha Council… well three people wasn't much of a council but that's what they went by. It was Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, Danzo Shimura along with the Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi. The three Genin were all confused as to why there were standing before the Hokage and his advisors.
"I assume you are wondering why you are here?" Hiruzen asked. The three simply nodded, even Naruto knew it wouldn't be a good idea to run his mouth, and waited to be told why.
"What the council and myself have decided to do is every six months the Genin teams that are in rotation will be brought in here from evaluation," Hiruzen explained.
"These evaluations will work as such. We will hear from each of you one at a time about your progress on your team. Nothing you say will be told to your teammates. These evaluations are meant to be a one on one kind of work. We want honest answers and responses… now if you three will step out. We will be starting with Kakashi," Hiruzen finished and the three Genin moved out of the room.
Naruto sat waiting still. Kakashi had gone first then was dismissed. He had told them their day was done once they were free from their meeting. Sakura opted to go second since she was the girl… ladies first she told Naruto before she cracked him in the head as he tried to step into the office.
Sasuke shoved Naruto out of the way once Sakura left claiming that a clanless dope has nowhere to be so he had plenty of time to wait. Naruto growled. He was really starting to hate Sasuke. And after that last hit from Sakura he was starting to doubt his 'love' for the pink haired teammate.
Finally it was his turn and he did not like the looks he was getting once he stepped into the office. Homura, Koharu and Danzo all looked upset while Hiruzen looked indifferent. Yup he definitely didn't like those looks.
"So Naruto like the others we will tell you what Kakashi said about you first. And if he was right I am quiet disappointed in you. Kakashi seems to believe that you don't take your training seriously and opt to pull pranks rather than train," Hiruzen said. He nearly fell back when he felt a massive amount of killing intent burst from Naruto and his eyes turned red.
"He what? I train harder and more than both the pink haired bitch and the pampered bastard combined," Naruto all but roared. "I'm the one that trains until his bones crack," he added.
"Calm yourself," Hiruzen spoke he didn't like Naruto losing his cool like this… it was dangerous to say the least.
"NO! I've been the happy go lucky dope long enough. I am sick and tired of my 'team' looking down on me. You want to know what I think. Haruno is a useless piece of shit. She doesn't help on missions always claiming it's not a girl's job to pick vegetables, or hoe a field. Uchiha never shuts up about how he is simply a better class than me because he comes from a clan and I'm a clanless orphan whose parents abandoned him. As for Hatake he hasn't trained me at all. I've trained myself. Whether it by my Ninjutsu or Taijutsu. All Hatake does it train Uchiha… that emo bastard has gotten two Katon Jutsus and Taijutsu training while I've gotten jack!" Naruto screamed.
"N… Naruto," Hiruzen stared in shock. If this was true he owed Naruto one hell of an apology.
"Fuck this! I quite team seven! Either give me my own Sensei or I'll train myself and become Hokage by myself," It was in this moment Hiruzen noticed Naruto's eyes had shifted back to blue and his hands were bleeding with how tightly he was clenching his hands.
"We can't give anyone their own personal sensei," Koharu spoke.
"But you did," Naruto replied. "Hatake hasn't trained me or Haruno… you might as well have made him that bastards sensei and sent us up shit creek," Naruto added.
"Naruto clam down now," Hiruzen's words instantly affected Naruto. His anger all subsided instantly and his face fell. His eyes were filled with sorrow rather than rage.
"Now… as to your request… I think I might have an idea for you," Hiruzen grinned. Naruto's eye brow cocked up as he heard this.
"Neko," Hiruzen called making an ANBU appear.
"Yes Hokage-sama?" Neko asked.
"Bring Mitarashi-san to me," Hiruzen said. With a nod the ANBU was gone.
"You can't be serious?" Homura asked.
"She's been asking to become a Jonin Sensei for a while… this will be a test for her," Hiruzen said.
"What about team seven?" Danzo asked.
"I'll find a replacement and put them under a strict eye. If Hatake doesn't shape up I'll knock him back down to Chunin and lock him in on solo Tora missions for six months," Everyone in the room cringed none of them, Danzo included, liked that demon cat.
"If you need a spy I might have someone for you," Danzo spoke.
"We'll talk later," Hiruzen said knowing where Danzo was going to go with it.
"Who Mitarashi?" Naruto asked.
"Just wait… you'll be in for a surprise," Hiruzen said.
Naruto only had to wait two minutes before the door opened and in walked simply the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She had what he would guess to be shoulder length purple hair that was kept in a spiky pony-tail, pupilless caramel eyes, deliciously pearly white skin, and a sexy outfit that consisted of a mesh shirt and shorts with a skirt and trench coat to cover her assets and womanhood. That was when she noticed him and smiled.
"Whiskers," She said and Naruto's jaw dropped to the ground.
"H… He… Hebi-chan," Naruto spoke softly as he looked at the woman.
"Oh you remember me still?" Anko asked. Naruto couldn't move. His body was frozen. Hebi as she went by in her time as an ANBU member was one of his… scratch that she was his most precious person. She had saved him time after time from mobs that would've beaten within an inch of his life and was the one that gave Naruto his two most precious possessions and gave him his addiction. His Gama wallet, his orange jumpsuit and his love for ramen.
"Hebi-chan!" Naruto cried as he hugged Anko who happily returned his hug.
"I've miss you whiskers," Anko laughed as she hugged Naruto.
"Save the reunion," Danzo growled he hated watching sappy crap.
"Sorry Shimura-sama," Anko said with a bow as the two separated.
"Now as to why I called you here," Hiruzen started. "Naruto is to be removed from Team Seven and placed into your care," Hiruzen stated making both of them freeze.
"Really?" both of them asked.
"Really, Anko you've wanted to be a Jonin-sensei for a while well here's your chance make Naruto into a splendid Shinobi and once he's become a Chunin you'll be given your own team. And Naruto I'm giving you want you wanted. A solo sensei so no more pranks, eat right, and train hard. Prove to me that Hatake was wrong," Hiruzen said.
"I promise!" Naruto shouted.
"Ok whiskers… I'll let you have today to rest and get ready for hell… Tomorrow at six I want you at training ground forty four," Anko smiled.
"Anko you can't," Koharu stood.
"He's my Genin… I'll train him as I see fit," Anko grinned her eyes stopped on Naruto seeing him smiling brightly and nearly hoping with joy.
"I'll be there… uh where do I find training ground forty four?" Naruto asked.
"It's the big forest that's fenced off outside of the village," Anko said. "You know that scary forest I took you when we had those two rogue ANBU hunting you five years ago," Naruto's eyes widened then he grinned even more.
"Gotcha… I'll be there at six sharp," Naruto said with a salute then he was gone in a flash as he ran from the room with a huge smile on his face.
"Anko there is a second reason I chose you," Hiruzen said with a stern face.
"Hai," Anko knelt.
"My advisors believe that Naruto may be a flight risk… We need you to keep an eye on him," Hiruzen said.
"No need. Whisker would never leave Konoha," Anko said.
"And you know this?" Homura asked.
"Yup… when he was six he proclaimed he would be Hokage… and though I doubt he remember the second half of his promise… if he did he wouldn't been able to hug me without blushing,"
"What was the second half?" Hiruzen asked.
"That I would be his wife," Anko chuckled. "Now how could he achieve those two things if he left?" Anko added. Hiruzen chuckled lightly at the smile on her face.
"Mitarashi-san… you cannot take a Genin into the forest of death under any circumstances," Koharu said.
"He's been there before like you've heard… and I distinctly remember Orochimaru-teme training me in there and Jiraiya-sama trained the fourth and his team in there at one time as well," Anko replied.
"But-"
"Enough Anko is within her rights as a Sensei to train Naruto as she deems fit," Hiruzen said.
"Now Anko you are dismissed… Danzo I believe you wished to speak about a filler for team seven?" Hiruzen turned to face his old partner as Anko vanished.
"Ah yes… it is a boy I have in root… I'd like to test to see how one of my root agents files back into society," Danzo explained.
"What is the boy's name?" Hiruzen asked.
"Sai," Danzo replied.
"Very well bring him… I'd like to meet him before we deploy him," Hiruzen commanded. Danzo nodded and left the room to retrieve him.
~The Next morning: Team Seven~
Kakashi stood before his team once again they were within the Hokage's tower. What was confusing Kakashi was that Naruto was nowhere to be seen. "The Hokage will see you now," Kakashi nodded and lead his team into the room. He would have to find and scold Naruto later.
"Ah good time today," Hiruzen said as he put down a field report. "Now to why I called you here today,"
"Err. Not to interrupt Hokage-sama but Naruto is not here yet," Kakashi spoke.
"That is the reason I asked you here. Naruto has demanded to be removed from team seven," Hiruzen said making all three stop in surprise.
"So in being removed I called you here to give you your new teammate. Sai please come in," Hiruzen said a moment later a young pale boy with black hair and eyes stepped into the room. He was dressed in a pair of black pants, a black jacket that had one short sleeve and one long sleeve.
"Hokage-sama… what's going to happen to Naruto?" Sakura asked.
"We had one of our Tokubetsu-Jonin volunteer to train him… if she hadn't he would've been sent back to the academy," Hiruzen answered.
"That doesn't seem fair. He quits our team and is rewarded by getting a solo teacher," Sasuke said with a growl.
"You'd best revise that tone Sasuke," Hiruzen said leveling just a taste of his KI on him. Sasuke froze as he felt the powerful wave hit him.
"Of course… my apologies Hokage-sama," Sasuke said weakly.
"Apology accepted… now you three have to get acquainted… off with you," Hiruzen said with a soft smile.
~Forest of Death~
Naruto stood before Anko deep within the Forest of Death. Naruto glanced around he could see several beasts just beyond the tree line. "Ok Whiskers here's what we are going to do," Anko said getting Naruto undivided attention.
"First we are going work on your Taijutsu and find a few ninjutsus that play to your style," Anko explained.
"Wait you mean you're not going to just have me focus on my chakra control?" Naruto asked.
"Why? Should I?" Anko asked.
"I don't know that's just what Hatake did," Naruto replied.
"Well I'm not him so how about you get in your Taijutsu stance and we start there," Anko said. Naruto nodded and took his stance. Anko's jaw just about hit the ground upon seeing it. It was the worst stance she had ever seen.
"Ok we're stopping already… your Taijutsu is useless. Where throwing it out we'll have to find you a style," Anko said making Naruto look down ashamed of himself.
"Sorry sensei," Naruto said shyly.
"It's not your fault. Your academy teachers and your Jonin sensei should've fixed it," Anko said before an idea hit her. "Now I want you to hit me as hard as you can," Naruto looked at her oddly for a moment then ran at her cocking his fist back as he did.
Anko grinned right up until his fist hit her stomach. Doubling over instantly Anko realized something. He hit like a bull. After nearly coughing up blood Anko slowly worked her way back to her feet. "Holy shit," was all Anko managed to say as she looked at a very worried Naruto.
"Are you ok Sensei?" Naruto asked.
"Have you always hit that hard?" Anko asked still holding her stomach. She already figured she'd have to see a doctor to make sure she was ok.
"I don't know… I usually lost my spars because I wasn't fast enough," Naruto said.
"Well then we know what to work on for the moment… we're going to get your speed up and get you a Taijutsu style to match that freakish punch you got… and I know just who to go to," Anko said with a grin.
