Naruto of the Stone


It had been 2 years since Naruto and Kurotsuchi had started to do their training sessions together with Naruto's older brother Deidara. Over this time both have become much stronger than what they once were. Naruto had now been able to use more Bakuton Jutsu and be able to pull them off quicker and with more ease. Naruto had also found out his chakra element. He only expected 2 because of his Kekkei-Genkai but after using the chakra paper he found out that he possessed 4, those being, fire, wind, earth, and lightning. And upon learning of this Naruto immediately started to expand his jutsu arsenal with various fire, earth, wind and lightning jutsu. Physically not a whole lot had changed about Naruto, he had grown a good 4 inches and his hair also grew out a little almost reaching his shoulders. Also him and Kurotsuchi began to become more closer to Ryu over the past 2 years, the three of them becoming pretty much inseparable.

Today however was a very special day for the three because today would be the day when they graduate the academy.

"Wow I can't believe that after today we'll finally be able to leave this dump." Spoke Kurotsuchi

"Yeah after today we'll be genin and with luck have a good teacher too." Said Ryu

"I personally hope that it's big brother as our sensei, he's one of the best ninja in the village." Said the final member of the trio Naruto

The other two nodded in agreement with him.


It didn't take them long but the three finally arrived at the academy and saw that there weren't too many people standing out front in the courtyard. Naruto came to the conclusion that majority of the schools population was inside the classrooms trying to get a bit more studying done for the written exam. The group continued into the classroom and sat down at their respective seats.

It didn't take long for the teacher to walk in and start handing out exams. And before long everyone had their eyes on their paper writing the exam. The questions came fairly easy to Naruto, most of them being about the past Tsuchikages or about what element is stronger against the other. The time eventually came when the chunin teachers walked around the classroom collecting the students exams. They soon started escorting the students outside to do the physical part of the exam.

Once outside the students lined up and stepped forward to take the exam, the teachers called up everyone in the class and only some were able to collect their headbands, others weren't so lucky didn't pass the graduation and were asked to try again the following year. At this point only one student remained, and it was Naruto.

"Ok Naruto what you're going to do is throw 10 shuriken at 10 targets, then preform a solid clone of any kind, substitute with something, transform into something and finally display any C-rank or above jutsu on the training dummy."

Naruto nodded as he picked up the shuriken throwing them all at different targets, Naruto didn't miss at all.

Naruto then spoke, "Doton: Clone Jutsu

Naruto made a perfect earth clone, identical to himself. He then did the substitution and transformation with ease leaving the last final test.

"Ok Naruto last but not least preform one C-rank or above technique." The teacher said not looking up from his clipboard

Naruto nodded as he put his hand in a bag on his waist, "Bakuton: Shuriken Jutsu."

The white clay shuriken spun at the training dummy and lodged itself in it. The boy then raised his hand up making the ram hand sign and said, "Katsu."

With the utterance of that word the shuriken exploded along with the training dummy and the small piece of ground around it, leaving both students and teachers in awe. No one predicted an academy student to possess a jutsu with this much destructive power.

"W-well done Naruto, that was fantastic!" Spoke the teacher recovering from his shock

Naruto simply bowed to his teacher and collected his headband and walked back into the classroom with the rest of his classmates.

Once inside they all were once again seated and the academy teacher stepped to the front of the room to prepare to speak to the entire class.

"Thank you everyone for preforming to your absolute best, but now I must ask for all those who didn't pass the exams to please leave the room."

One by one the students who didn't pass the exams got up to leave the room as the teacher asked. Not one of them saying a word or looking at anything other than their feet. There were only about 12 students who remained in the classroom after the others left.

"Ok now we can get down to business, each one of you will be paired up with 2 of your classmates to form a 3 man squad with a jonin leader at the head of each team. Now I will leave you guys to it your jonin sensei's will be here momentarily."

The teacher was about to leave the room but before he could Kurotsuchi interrupted his exit.

"Sensei aren't you going to tell us the teams?" She said raising her brow

"Oh yes I almost forgot." He said with an embarrassed smile

"Team 1 will be Hiriko, Asensu, and Defimaru. Jonin sensei is Senzu Oshitero."

"Team 2 is still in circulation."

"Team 3 will be Tentu, Nasuke, and Yuu. Jonin sensei is Ushiro Hiruka."

"Team 4 will be Waruki, Jutio, and Fibartsu. Jonin sensei is Dishiro Kiuki."

"Team 5 is still in circulation."

"Team 6 will be. . . oh my. . . Kurotsuchi, Ryu and Naruto, a powerful team indeed. And your jonin sensei will be. . . Lord Onoki."

"WHAT! The old man's our teacher." Kurotsuchi spoke as she sat up with shocked expression

"Yes indeed Kurotsuchi." The teacher said agusting his hair to Kurotsuchi's outburst

"It will be a great honor Kurotsuchi, he arguably is the most wise shinobi in the elemental nations, aside from the 3rd Hokage." Ryu said trying to calm Kurotsuchi down

"Mmmmm." She said as she sat back down

"What about you Naruto what are your thoughts on this?" Ryu questioned with a raised brow

It took him a minute but Naruto finally snapped out of his thinking and responded to Ryu, "Well he is incredibly wise as you said and can teach us a lot of stuff to use on the battlefield."

Ryu smiled and Kurotsuchi just sighed at Naruto's answer.

It took a few minutes but Onoki finally showed up to the classroom levitating about a foot off the ground. The only sight Onoki could see in the classroom was the sight of 2 teens waiting patiently at there seats and his very angry granddaughter.

"Gramps you were suppose to be here right after our teacher was done going over things with us, just like the other jonin." She spoke with a tic mark on her head

"I apologize Kurotsuchi, Naruto and company, I have duties to attend to as the Tsuchikage and working on plans for Iwagakure that's why I was late." Onoki said with no emotion

"It's ok Lord Tsuchikage your duties far outweigh the need to train us." Ryu said bowing his head

"Nonsense young one this team is just as important as protecting Iwa, without anything to love in Iwagakure why protect it correct?" The Tsuchikage said looking at Ryu

Onoki continued to look at Ryu and went on to speak again, "What is you're name young one?"

Ryu felt a little embarrassed being addressed by the Tsuchikage, "R-ryu Lord T-tsuchikage!"

"It's good to meet you Ryu, and don't call me Lord Tsuchikage, you are my student you may refer to me as Onoki-sensei." Onoki said with a slight smile

"Of course." Ryu spoke nodding his head

"Ok now that that is out of the way why don't you all meet me on training ground 32, my private training ground near the Tsuchikage tower." Onoki stated as he made his leave


5 minutes later. . .

"I'm glad to see that all of you made it to the training ground with no problems." Spoke Onoki with a straight face

"Nope no problems at all Onoki-sensei." Naruto responded with an equally straight face

"Ok then, you 3 sit down and we will all take turns introducing ourselves. I'll start, my name is Onoki the third Tsuchikage. I have few likes, those being my children and grandchildren, the great village of Iwagakure and you my pupils. My main dislikes are traitors, those who do not live by any morals and Konoha. My hobbies include that of attending to the villages needs and spending as much time as I can with my family. My dream of becoming the next Tsuchikage and of starting a family have already been made a reality, so I guess my new dream is one where I teach you all how to be splendid shinobi." The old man said

"I'll go next, my name is Ryu. I like my friends, my village and the art of taijutsu. I dislike those who pick on the weak and traitors to the village. My hobbies include hanging around my friends training, and gardening. As for my dream, I want there to be true peace throughout the elemental nations and there to be no more war to come." The boy exclaimed

"Hello and my name is Kurotsuchi. I like my friends and my family, along with this village and all the people within its walls. I dislike those who think women are weaklings and that they cannot defend themselves. My hobbies consist of training in my Yoton bloodline and hanging out with my friends. My dream for the future is to one day become the Tsuchikage of our village." She spoke with passion

"And that just leaves you Naruto."Onoki said

"My name is Naruto. I like various things such as the village and the people who run it , my friends and now teammates along with my big brother. I dislike those who make fun of others and unnecessary killing. My hobbies are training and hanging out with my big brother and my friends. My dream. . . I don't have one but I will do everything in my power to help both Ryu and Kurotsuchi with their dreams." Naruto said with a grin on his face

"Each of your dreams seem very good however you need to pass the test I am about to give you in order to make them a reality." Onoki said with a giny smile

"What I thought we already did our fair share of tests at the academy!?" Kurotsuchi stated looking very perplexed

"Yes you did but this test is to see if you are ready for the role of genin. In order to pass this test you must answer my question." Onoki explained

"If you three were to be being chased down by enemy shinobi and one person would have to stay behind to fend them off while the others made their escape, who would you 3 elect to stay behind." He continued

The 3 academy students began to think about the Tsuchikage's question, they couldn't just leave a comrade behind like that, the one they left behind would surly die.

They continued there thought process for a bit and Kurotsuchi and Ryu had no answer, but Naruto spoke up, "I wouldn't leave anyone behind! That is a cowards way to get out alive! I would stand and fight side-by-side with my team mates even if that does mean I won't walk away from it afterwards."

"Hmmmm. . .do you two argee with this."Onoki asked Ryu and Kurotsuchi

The other two children nodded their heads to his words.

(Sigh) "It would seem that from today on, Team 6 has been made official. . .you three pass."He said

The three were speechless they were all genin, all three of them started to prance around and celebrate until a Iwagakure ANBU landed in front of the 4 people.

"Lord Tsuchikage, we need your assistance! A shinobi has gone rouge and started attackin the village!" The ANBU explained

"Who would do such a thing?" Onoki asked the ANBU with a slight panicked look on his face

"Deidara has Lord Tsuchikage!"
