Hey, Kurenai Ryu here! To all the fans of my work out there, sorry for the wait having trouble with new ideas. And to all the bozos who don't like my stories, IF YA' DON'T LIKE IT DON'T LEAVE A REVIEW! FLAMES ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! And no Naruto's not going to be over powered or godlike in this story. Thanks for the reviews and now…
ON WITH THE SHOW…
Morning had just come to Konoha and a lot of young ninja hopefuls were just waking up to get started on their final preparations for the upcoming graduation exam. However…three young kunoichi hopefuls were more concerned with checking to see if the wounds they sustained during their little near rape experience with Sasugay were really gone.
And sure enough it was as if they never sustained any wounds at all. The only thing that could prove that last night really happened was the bottle of ointment itself and the three-pronged kunai that Benikage gave to each of the girls.
Sakura was the one who was most affected by what happened last night. The boy she thought she loved nearly raped her and her friends and was then going to kill them and blame it on Naruto.
'Naruto was right. Sasugay isn't worth it, screw him,' she thought and then went to her diary, tore out all the pages that were about that rapist wannabe, and ripped them to shreds.
'Although he was right about one thing, I need to get serious about this whole ninja business if want to make it as a medic-nin,' with that thought in mind Sakura got dressed and went to eat some breakfast before going to the academy.
(With Ino)
Ino was disappointed with herself. She gave up her friendship with Sakura because they both wanted the same guy only to have said guy try to rape and kill them the night before the exam.
'I hate him so much I just want to kill him myself. But I guess what Benikage-kun did to him last night was good enough,' a blush came upon her face once her thoughts turned to her crimson clad savior.
'Well enough about that time to get ready and officially become a genin,' she thought as she dressed herself for the events to come.
(With Hinata)
Our resident Hyuuga heiress had been up since five A.M. with one thing on her mind. 'AAAAAHHHH! Naruto-kun, Benikage-kun, Naruto-kun, Benikage-kun, Naruto-kun, Benikage-kun…Why is it so hard for me to decide who I like more!'
Okay make that two things on her mind. She was having such a hard time with her internal affairs that she argued herself to sleep. And she even had a weird dream with her and both Naruto and Benikage in a very awkward position…
Enough about that. She finally decided to stop sorting out who was the love of her life and got dressed and got ready for the big exam that was going on today. All the while all three of the girls were wondering if they would ever see Benikage again.
(At The Hokage Monument)
The Hokage Monument: the Mt. Rushmore of Konoha. It is a monument that is meant to pay tribute to the leaders of the villages past. And on top of the head of the fourth Hokage is non other than our blond haired hero.
This is his favorite spot to come to when ever he has some down time. Why? Because he loves the view from atop his fathers head. "Well dad, today's the day. Today I come out of my shell and show the village what I'm made of,"
Naruto said to his father's stone carved head. He was no longer wearing that stupid orange jumpsuit but instead he was wearing a black t-shirt with matching black slacks. "Well, wish me luck dad. Oh, and tell mother to wish me luck too OK? Bye!"
And with that Naruto jumped off the monument and rapped wind ki around his feet and flew over to the Academy to show the world what he could do.
(At The Academy)
Naruto was careful not to be seen while doing his whole wind skating thing. He landed on the roof of the school and went to class to rub some salt on the wounds of his now female enemy Sasugay.
When Naruto got in to the classroom he wasn't surprised that people almost thought he was somebody else. And he also wasn't surprised to see his friends laughing their buts off at Sasugay's expense.
"Hey guys, what's up," the guy's turned to Naruto and started telling him the news. "Did 'ya here, the unbeatable Sasuke just got striped of his manhood last night by some dude named Benikage," said Kiba. "Oh really," said our favorite blond feigning innocence.
"I DID NOT LOSE TO THAT BASTERD HE GOT THE DROP ON ME AND CHEATED ME OUT OF VICTORY! I'M THE VICTIM HERE!" Said the male/female banshee…I mean Sasuke.
"Um Sasuke, I know fair play aint your game but that does count as you losing to him" said our favorite chubby shinobi Chouji. Sasuke was about to say something else he was bashed in the head by…Sakura and Ino and Hinata?
"What do you mean you're the victim? We're the victims because YOU NEARLY RAPED US!" Shouted one very, VERY ticked off Ino. "That's right! And not only that but you were going to pin the blame on Naruto-kun so you could have him killed!"
Shouted an even more ticked off Hinata. The kids in class were shocked that the always shy and timid Hinata was shouting at the famed Uchiha but that's off topic. What they were even more surprised about was the fact that Sasuke was going to rape three girls and pin the blame on someone else who was no where near that ally at the time (chough not chough quite chough).
"You are nothing but a basterd who tries to cheat his way to the top! I wish Benikage-kun killed you when he had the chance because you don't deserve the right to live you DEVIL!"
Shouted Sakura who was so mad Satan would be scared of her. If people were shocked at Hinata's shouting than they were stone cold shocked to here the ultimate Uchiha fan girl shout at Sasuke. "YOU SHUT UP YOU THREE B…"
He never got the chance to finish because a certain blond sent a right hook directly to his face that sent him flying straight into the wall "Don't you know it's not nice to talk to girls like that Sasuke?"
Kiba then got what could be called a surprised look on his face and said "Hey, since he no longer has that certain reproductive organ any more we can't really call Sasuke a guy any more can we?"
Shikamaru decided to throw in his own two cents "The troublesome dog's right, so what do think we should call him…I mean HER now?" Sasuke was furious, not only did he lose to some red wearing nobody put to add insult to injury people beneath him were making fun of him.
"I know let's call her Sasuki. What do 'ya say?" asked Chouji. Everybody in their group got a thoughtful look on their face and decided that it was a good name for the now female Uchiha. "Sounds good to me," said Naruto.
"Well Sasuke-chan, congratulations you're new name from here on out is (drum roll peals)…Sasuki," said Ino like she was on some reality show. "MY NAME IS NOT SASUKI IT'S SASUKE YOU STUPID SLUT!"
Poor Sasuke I mean Sasuki…is what I would say if he/she wasn't such a jerk. Naruto got so mad he put his hands into a seal (guess which one) and said "Kage bushin no justu," creating 15 solid clones and relentlessly attacked Sasuki like there was no tomorrow.
It was at that time that Iruka came in and saw a sight that made him face fault. "YAY NARUTO! Come on give him left and right, make him wish he hadn't said that about Ino!" What surprised Iruka was that that shout came from none other than Sakura the biggest Sasuke fan of them all.
"COME ON NARUTO-KUN SHOW THAT TRANSSEXUAL WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF!" And that one came from Hinata of all people…HINATA! Sweet, shy, timid HINATA! "COME ON NARUTO! POUND HIM INTO THE GROUND LIKE THE PIECE OF CRAP HE IS!"
And now Ino was getting in on the action that was Sasuke bashing? He went over to the window to check for signs of doom. Blue sky, white clouds, birds chirping…Nope. It's not the end of the world after all. But still, this is just to weird! Hinata was understandable but SAKURA AND INO CHEERING FOR NARUTO TO BEET THE CRAP OUT OF SASUKE TOO!
Iruka interred his, as the students have dubbed it, 'Big Demon Head no Justu' and shouted at the top of his lungs "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" At that everybody shut up and ran back to their seats as if their lives depended on it. Well, everyone except Naruto who was in the middle of kicking Sasuki in the groin…if he/she still had one that is.
"Naruto-baka was attacking poor Sasuke-kun for no reason he should be expelled immediately," said a stupid fan girl with no brains in her head. Iruka looked at her with a doubtful look that screamed 'Yeah, and I'm kami in human form'.
He looked at the only group that wasn't on Sasuke's side and asked "And the real story is?" Sakura came up and said "Sasuke or rather Sasuki (insert growl from said transsexual) called Ino a slut and Naruto just started bashing the living crap out of him to pay him back,"
Iruka had to do a double check to make sure that he was hearing right. Sakura was taking Naruto's side over Sasuke? Was the end of the world actually coming or did she get knocked out of her fan girl streak? Wait a minute… Naruto was beating he living crap out of that arrogant Uchiha basterd?
"And I missed it? Dang, a once in a lifetime opportunity and I missed it. Damn," most of the class was shocked. Iruka was taking Naruto's in this when he (at least they thought so) was an idiot that couldn't compare to their precious Sasuke-kun.
"Hey, why are you guys calling him Sasuki all of a sudden?" Asked the confused sensei, "Because he no longer has the thing that made him a man." Kiba could barely keep from laughing as he told Iruka what happened to the enemy of all men last night.
Iruka just burst out loud laughing his butt off at the transsexual's expense. After he calmed down he set about explaining the basics of the genin graduation exam. While he was doing this Naruto and his boys were busy talking about stuff only they knew. And what made all the more secret was the fact that Naruto had used a ki empowered privacy justu to make it look like they were paying attention.
"That was some move our crimson friend pulled on Sasuki last night. I'm surprised he isn't demanding that ass kissing counsel to hunt down his crimson clad ass," said Kiba with a slight laugh. Next Shino chimed in "Actually Kiba-san he did. This mourning by father went to a counsel meeting that the Uchiha called for and the Hokage had to silence the civilian counsel with enough killing intent to flood the whole village.
"Needless to say that the Uchiha's defeat last night affected what little sanity he had left to the point that the whole shinobi counsel even the Hokage believe that he needs to be executed before he does something even stupider than what he already has done."
"Wait, wait, wait, Sasuki over there actually had some sanity? I thought that she was already insane before I she was turned back into a flat chested guy looking girl." Naruto chimed in getting a chuckle out of his friends. After having their little talk to themselves about what happened last night and what Naruto thought he should do about said Uchiha he released the privacy justu just as the written test was being passed out.
As soon as Naruto got his he noticed that the questions were once again so hard that only a jonin could answer them. 'That Mizuki is determined to get me to fail again,' thought our favorite blond as he looked over the questions. 'Yeah but he doesn't know that you have a few aces up your sleeve does he?' Came a voice that belonged to none other than Naruto's tenant the dreaded Kyuubi no Kitsune.
'Yeah got that right Kyuubi, now let's pass this test shall we?' Thought Naruto as Kyuubi gave him the answers to the questions that he didn't know. When time was called Iruka went around and collected all the papers and was shocked when he saw Naruto's.
The questions were different from everyone else's and a heck of a lot harder than an academy graduation exam and yet he answered them all correctly from the looks of them. Iruka went around and collected the rest while thinking that Mizuki was probably trying to get Naruto to fail but he wasn't worried about it this time around.
Next was the taijutsu portion of the exam which took place outside. All they had to do was last 1 minute with Mizuki and they passed. Mizuki was supposed to go easy on them but still provide a challenge. But when it came to the Uchiha transsexual he practically pinned himself.
And when it finally came to Naruto's turn he tried to either pin him or kill him. Key word being tried. Naruto dodged all of his attacks with practiced ease. It almost looked like he was playing with Mizuki before Naruto jumped and flipped over his opponent's head and delivered a very strong punch to a pressure point in Mizuki's back which sent him to the ground in a heap.
Needless to say Naruto passed that portion of the exam too. Mizuki was beyond mad…he was pissed how dare that demon brat make a fool out of him in front of everybody like that. And when did he get this good at fighting and how in the heck did he answer all of those questions right on that test.
That test was fixed so that he couldn't answer so he could make sure he failed and then use him to still the forbidden scroll and then kill him be praised as hero, and then get the scroll to Orochimaru. 'Wait, what am I worrying about? There's still the ninjustu portion of the exam, and his chakra control stinks once he fails that I'll put my plain into action.'
Ooohh boy was he in for a surprise. It was finally time for the last part of the exam, the ninjustu portion. All the students had to do was do the Henge (Transformation), Substitution, and Bushin (Clone). Mizuki thought that with Naruto's legendary poor chakra control that his plan would succeed.
When Naruto's turn finally came he didn't even show the slightest bit of nervousness that they were expecting. "Okay Naruto, just do the Bushin technique and you pass," said Iruka with confidence. "Um, Iruka-sensei can it be any Bushin other than the regular one?"
Naruto asked knowing that he would get the answer he needed. Mizuki took this opportunity to try and make himself look like he was on Naruto's side "Sure Naruto, use any bushin you like. The rules just say to do a Bushin they don't say what kind of clone it has to be in order to count."
Oh Mizuki that just sealed your doom. Naruto put his fingers in a familiar hand seal and said "Kage Bushin no Justu" and then there were at least 15 Narutos in the exam room…and thy were all solid clones. Mizuki was shocked beyond belief 'HOW IN THE HELL DOES HE KNOW SUCH A ADVANCED TECHNIQUE LIKE THAT!'
I guess it's not that hard to believe that Mizuki was mad as all heck because his plans were foiled. Now he'll have to still the scroll himself. "Congratulations Naruto you graduate!" Naruto was happy at this. 'Heh well what do 'ya know, I guess third time really is the charm.'
'Especially when you show that you're not the idiot that you make yourself out to be' Kyuubi chimed in. But they both knew that Mizuki still had to be taken care of by tonight.
(That Night In The Forest)
Mizuki was running and tree hopping as if his life depended on it. Which technically it did. You see, he just stole the forbidden scroll from the vault and now if he didn't want to be killed he needed to get out of Fire Country.
But before he could get anywhere close to the border a flash of crimson appeared in front of him and a fist connected to his face. Mizuki was sent flying into another tree a few feet back with his nose now broken and bleeding.
"WHO THE HELL…" he never got the chance to finish because a roundhouse kick planted itself into his left cheek and sent him flying again. This time he landed at the base of tree even further back than the last time.
As he got up he got a look at his attacker expecting to see one of the ANBU black ops but instead he saw a young 15 year old boy decked out in black and crimson. A pair of crimson slited eyes were staring at him with rage being the only thing in them.
"Who the hell are you?" asked the soon to be dead man. The young boy looked at him and uttered a name that the villagers who worshiped the Uchiha like a god had come to fear "Benikage…"
With that he disappeared in a flash of crimson and reappeared in front of Mizuki "…and I'm your executioner," said the crimson assassin. Mizuki ran to put some distance away from them and threw his giant shuriken at Benikage only for said crimson shinobi to grab it out of thin air.
"Thanks but I'm more of a sword guy, here you can have it back!" shouted Benikage as he threw the overgrown shuriken back at Mizuki. Said crook tried to avoid the attack but lost his arm to his own weapon "GGGAAAAAHHHHHH!"
When the now one armed thief saw a kunai come at his head he dodged at the very last second. "HA you think you can kill me with a stupid little…" as he turned around he stopped dead in his tracks. Why?
Because the kunai in front of him was three pronged just like the ones the Yondaime used to use. And then in a flash of crimson Benikage appeared in front of him, grabbed his kunai and slammed Mizuki in the chest with a punch so strong you'd think he took lessons from Tsunade of the Sannin.
When Mizuki landed against another tree for the third time that night he was suddenly pinned to it by a couple of kunai. Benikage then appeared in front of Mizuki and started to taunt him.
"Well, well, well, how the mighty have fallen eh Mizuki-sensei?" taunted our crimson clad hero. "Just who the hell do you think you are you crimson clad freak! Steeling the Yondaime's technique like you own it! That technique should belong to the Uchi…AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Screamed Mizuki as he was stabbed by the very same tree-pronged kunai that Benikage used before.
"I didn't steel this technique you idiot I LEARNED IT the old fashioned way, threw blood, sweat, and tears something your stupid now transsexual Uchiha doesn't know a thing about!" Screamed Benikage as he slashed Mizuki again.
He then grabbed said traitor by collar of his flap jacket and made him look him directly in the eye. "'Ya want to know a little secret before you die Mizuki-sensei?" asked Benikage as he started to change.
His voice got a little higher, his eyes went from red to blue, and his hair started to turn blond…and spiky? "NARUTO?" Screamed a shocked Mizuki who couldn't believe his eyes. The Kyuubi brat and Benikage were the same person. "Yep,"
Said our favorite jinchuuriki as he switched back to Benikage mode. "And one more thing…" he leaned in closer so he could put infuses on what he was about to say next. "The Yondaime…WAS MY FATHER SO DON'T GO SAYING ANYTHING HE CREATED BELONGS TO SOME STUPID JUSTU STEELING BASTERD!"
Shouted Benikage as he beheaded Mizuki with his three-pronged kunai. Later that night the ANBU found a decapitated Mizuki and the forbidden scroll hung on a kunai that was pinned to a tree with a note that said 'Increase security or I'll beat you guys to a pulp like I did with this guy, signed Benikage…'
And at the bottom it read 'PS, tell jiji that the secret to beating paperwork is…Kage Bushin,' all throughout the night, as far as Kumo, you could hear the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, slamming his head on his desk while saying "BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA!"
Well I'm finally done with this chapter and if you ask me it took dang long enough. If you're wondering yes Naruto's friends know he's Benikage. I was going to have them talk like it was Naruto in the begging but then I decided that I would save the unmasking of Benikage until the end. Oh, and before I forget, I'm taking suggestions for who should be in the harem there wont be a poll but I will take suggestions. Also I just started writing a Record Of A Fallen Vampire & Naruto cross over with a little of Rosario + Vampire in it called 'The Crimson And Azure Demons'. When it's up check it out. Oh, and one more thing…NO FLAMES OR I WILL GET YOU!
