Golden Eyes 2


A/N: ok I know what your thinking. Shunpo Naruto… WTF
this is my answer. I AM STUCK ARGG WHY OH WHY CANT I JUST WRITE IT!! Basically I try to write. I mean really I get in and try to write it. But I always pop another idea. Yea, write it down for later but I can't ARG!!! Anyways. Here is the story.


Day of the Chunnin exams


Naruto sighed as he once again put on his orange jumpsuit and Konoha headband. As Naruto was zipping up his jacket he looked at the scars on his neck and sighed.


Flash Back


To say there was quite a change to the training ground was a huge understatement. It looked like someone had taken a gigantic hokage mountain size butcher knife and slashed and hacked their way through it. Afterwards, 42 hurricanes or more came rolling in and blew the trees every which way. And afterwards several thousand flash floods fame in, over flooding the river and making it impossible to know where the river ran before them. There were huge gash marks on the ground, so wide and deep they looked like a very narrow and miniature ditch.

After a couple days, Naruto and Jiraiya threw out the acting and just worked. No more talking, no more bickering, no more nothing, just train and get the job done. You could say they bonded more closely this way. Jiraiya understood Naruto's drive and respected him for that. Naruto understood Jiraiya's vast experience and was humbled by it. They quickly gained even ground and expanded upon it. And so their relationship built around improving Naruto's skill, of course they had some fun jabs at each others morale but they were really focused.

"I am going to create a seal to store the heightened chakra into it. This will allow you to use the chakra without repercussions to your body." Jiraiya said looking down at Naruto, who was doing hand stand push-ups on his hands, his legs straight up in the air.

Naruto bent his arms and held that position. "What do you mean, I haven't felt any repercussions… well-"

Jiraiya cut him off. "You felt immense pain everywhere on your body, as if it were on fire."

Naruto pushed up, straightening his arms. 'How did he know?' "Yea, but wasn't that the seal Orochimaru put on."

Jiraiya sighed as he sat down on the ground. "That was partly the reason, but trust me when I say this, I use a form similar to your Golden eyes. While it does not come from a chakra I can easily call on, like you, it does raise the potency of my chakra by several times over. "

Naruto took a deep breath in and bent his arms again. "So, what is the repercussion?"

Jiraiya sighed. "Do you know about Chakra withdrawal by the Akimichi?"

Naruto straightened his arms once again. "No… what is it?"

"It forces chakra to go to a purer state. It is a secret pill that serves to make chakra more enhanced by changing the body's chemistry. It could be seen like opening the Chakra gates."

Naruto paused mid way as he was bending his arm. "Opening the gates? Ah I see. But that means… if I use my state too much then my body will go through withdrawal since body isn't used to the chakra."

Jiraiya shrugged. "Yes and no. Over time your body will get used to it. But the downside is that sooner or later, your regular chakra, well you won't be able to use it anymore."

Naruto froze. He pushed off the ground, flipped in the air, and gracefully landed on his feet. Naruto turned to Jiraiya questioningly. "Why?"

"It will be so … unpurified, ah well that's not it. Hmm… ok, put it this way your body will only use the purified chakra."

Naruto looked down in deep thought. That still left a lot of questions open. Though his body did subconsciously cut down the chakra to a manageable size it still wasted some. Could he raise his chakra control to a point where he could use it perfectly? No, that was too much to expect.

"That's where the seals come in."

Naruto looked up.

Jiraiya took out an ink and paint brush. "The seals will store the chakra and allow your body to handle both the chakras."

Naruto eyes widened. "How?"

Jiraiya shook his head. "I know your smart kid, you did just figure out your new ability by yourself but sealing… It's way beyond your league right now… maybe later but first let me put it on you."

Naruto relented and nodded, "Lets do this."


Later


Naruto woke up. His whole body was in pain. He didn't even try to open his eyes as his body seared with pain. It felt like ten no a hundred thousand knives had been plugged into his body.

"Don't move brat."

Naruto opened his eyes painfully and looked to his left where the voice came from.

Jiraiya was sitting over him, smocking form a pipe.

Naruto reached for his throat. "D-did it work?"

Jiraiya scowled, and after a moment, sighed. "No…"


Flashback end


Naruto rubbed the scars. They twitched off and on ever since they had healed. Jiraiya said that something about the Purified charka's activity with his body. Jiraiya actually explained it pretty well so that Naruto could understand it or at least part of it.

Jiraiya had theorized that the purified chakra was pooling into one area. And that area just needed to be confined and controlled, similar to a dam with a really big faucet. The only problem was… it wasn't the case. When Jiraiya had put the seal and started to activate it, Jiraiya immediately noticed something wrong and reversed it. OF course, the damage had been done and the purified chakra's momentum was lost causing Naruto's system to go berserk as the regular chakra and purified chakra clashed like two apposing Tsunami's. Jiraiya fought tooth and nail against Naruto's potent chakra for 2 hours and it ripped through Naruto's body metaphorically and literally. It seemed that it was too late for the pool to be made. The Purified Charka was already piggy backing all of Naruto's regular chakra. When Jiraiya tried to gather it, the purified chakra went the opposite way, that caused all sorts of problems that would have killed anyone other than Naruto.

After that, Jiraiya told Naruto to never attempt any sealing. Jiraiya knew that Naruto was thinking about learning seals on his own; so Jiraiya had made Naruto swear an oath that he would not learn sealing without his help. Naruto accepted the oath and left the subject aside for a later date. Instead, Jiraiya drew up alternative plans for Naruto. Jiraiya said to save the Purified chakra for the last and only use it as a last resort. Since the purified chakra had the capability to damage his body it should be dealt with properly. Jiraiya even went so far to say that Naruto wouldn't even need it against Neji but probably Gaara

To that Naruto said….


Flashback


"Cut the bullshit. I know about Sand and Sound invading." Naruto said looking Jiraiya straight in the eye.

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" 'Is he bluffing or…'

Naruto sighed. "Orochimaru came in and attacked us. I don't remember much about the encounter but I do know that later the sound tried to kill us."

Jiraiya was silent.

"If you don't want to tell me … fine. But don't tell me that conserving my purified chakra is just to save for later in the fight. I know why you want me to save it."

Jiraiya chuckled. "Damn brat, you are really smart." 'Like Minato… could always tell what I was holding back.'

Naruto shrugged. "Now then can you please tell me what you know, or do I have to figure everything out for myself?"

Jiraiya looked down at Naruto and nodded. "Here's what I know."


Flashback end


Naruto had learned a lot. First, Jiraiya had one hell of a spy network. After Sandaime told him to come back, Jiraiya immediately called in contacts close by. They had all told him the same thing: Sound and Sand had allied and were preparing for something.

Obviously this was going to be huge, and hidden alliances meant sneak attack in the shinobi world. Sandaime was already preparing for the imminent.

'Ah, its too early to go to the Stadium' Naruto thought while taking his eyes off the mirror and past reminiscences.

Naruto got up and walked down around. Many people were already at the Stadium so not many people were in the streets, or at least people who had time to recognize the kyuubi brat.

Naruto just lazed around, it would be an hour till he had to get to the stadium and Naruto knew every back street there was, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to get there on time. Finally, Naruto wandered away to a very familiar training ground.

Naruto sighed… it was still the same: the memorial to honor the dead, those three posts that people would get tied to. Pathetic. Naruto walked over to the post and looked at the one in the center. His post, the post he was tied to. It was ridiculous to think he had been tied to it, but hey that was needed at the time the so be it. He needed to be an idiot, he needed to be a stupid, bratty kid, who just yelled his lungs out and spouted out he was going to be the hokage. That would be no more. Oh no, he would fuck that all away. Fuck being an idiot, that was the past, he needed to live. Fuck being a stupid bratty kid, he wanted to prove himself, he was tired of people looking down at him.

Of course, in this village where most of the population hates you, Naruto still knew that there were some people that believed in him. He wouldn't let them down. He wouldn't let Ji-ji down. He wouldn't let … her down. She had watched to him and believed in him. Yea, when people said he was a dead last, she silently hoped for his success. Yea… it was good to have a person like her on his side. Even, if she didn't express it directly, it was good to have her on his side. Unlike the rest of the villagers that hated him.

The People who threw trash at him, The People who beat him up and called him a demon, these were the people who he would blow away.

IT WAS HIS LIFE! HE DIDN'T CARE WHAT THE HELL ANYONE THOUGHT OF HIM! HE WOULD PROVE TO THEM ALL. HE WAS UZUMAKI NARUTO!

Naruto bowed his head as if in silent prayer, vowing to let no one down.

Naruto felt another, familiar presence behind him. Naruto turned around. "Hinata, I know you are there."

Naruto heard a sudden eep. Naruto sighed. "Come out Hinata."

Hinata, slowly but surely, walked out towards Naruto.

"H-hello Naruto-kun" Hinata said nervously, looking away and doing her ever so cute pose.

Naruto smiled. "Thank you, Hinata."

Hinata jolted as if she had been shocked by electicity. "W-what do you mean, Naruto-kun."

Naruto just kept smiling. "I wanted to thank you for believing in me."

Hinata started to turn red. "I-it was nothing Naruto-kun."

Naruto chuckled. "It was more than nothing, I … at times I didn't believe in myself. And then I gained hope… well an inspiration about faith in people from you."

Hinata looked down. "I… I too got inspiration to you Naruto. I watched you as you struggled. I really… I really-"

HInata stopped suddenly shocked at what Naruto had doen. Naruto had leaned forward and pecked her on the forehead.

Hinata made a new shade of red and then fainted. Naruto caught her and gently placed her on the ground. Naruto put his hands in a familiar position.

A kage bunshin popped in and picked up Hinata. Naruto gave it its orders. "Take her to the hospital… when you are sure she is safe, dispel yourself."

The Kage bunshin nodded and jumped off.

Naruto sighed and after a moment jumped off to the stadium. 'she will be safe now… I don't have to worry… and she won't have to see what I'm going to do.'


10 minutes to the Start of the Finals


Genma looked at the line up in front of him. 'Ok lets see… we got a couple Konoha brats, some sand brats and we still missin some people' Genma looked down at his sheet to confirm who was missing. 'the Uzumaki kid and the Uchiha kid. Hmm… what to do.'

"Sorry I'm late" Genma turned and looked behind him. It seemed the Uzumaki kid was here after all.

Genma nodded "Its ok kid, you fine, just go stand over there."

The Uzumaki kid nodded. Genma felt something odd. 'Didn't they say he was some kind of hyperactive kid…. This kid seems dull.'

IT was indeed true. Naruto was not acting like his boisterous happy go lucky self. He was quiter for one, and his face did not hold a goofy smile but rather a serious and dead on look. A determined face like always but it held an edge to it as if to say, Don't F-ing mess with me.

Shikamru looked over to Naruto, the lazy side blew it off as determination and training, the genius side of him well…. 'He is definetly standing taller, isn't smiling, acting troublesome, interesting, genjutsu… no wouldn't do that, traumatizing event… no would have mental and physical deficiency somewhere…. Now what could be up?' Shikamaru pondered the question but gave up for a later date, it was far too troublesome right now.

'A few more seconds.' Genma waited while biting his senbon. 'Now then, I just hope these leaf gennin can wear out those sand gennin, I don't want to have to waste my time fighting some brats before I can help Hokage-sama.' Genma looked up towards the Hokage who nodded.

"ALRIGHT" Genma said in a loud voice. "LETS BEGIN" The crowd hushed looking forward to the matches to come.

Genma reached inside his shirt and pulled out his sheet. He flipped it open for the gennins to see. "This is the tournament list."

Naruto eyes widened slightly 'That sound guy is missing from the sheet. Either resigned or dead. Did Ji-ji send anbu to kill him… no that would be too risky. Must have been a accidental or hushed up killing by the same side. Or there would be a huge public fuck up now.' Naruto brushed the thoughts away. Less gennins to kill then.

"Now then Neji and Naruto stay here. Rest of ya, get up to the 2nd floor" Genma jerked his thumb towards a tunnel way leading to the 2nd floor.

Naruto deciding not to waste time moved a couple paces back, away from Neji. Naruto faced Neji and waited for the signal. 'Now then do I want to end this quick or do I fight him. Hmm… on one hand I can beat him easy and conserve chakra for later on. That would allow me to save normal chakra for a mass Kage bunshin and then use the purified state… you know I should really get a name for that state… anyways…. OK Back to focus. If I beat Neji now that'll make some people suspiscious of me… can't have that. Now on the other hand I could… slowly and subtly beat Neji. Of course that'll take more chakra but then again I can easily use umm… my Golden eyes state, yea that's a good name, during the invasion. I'm going to have to use it anyways to stop Hoka-'

Naruto snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Neji charge. "eh-" Naruto said while jumping back. Naruto turned his head towards Genma and growled out, "Hey did you even say start yet?!"

Genma shrugged "Yea kid I did, you were in La La land for a while."

Naruto rolled his eyes and then turned his attention back to Neji. 'Old school it is then."

Neji sneered at Naruto. "You should give up, fate has decreed that I shall win this battle."

Naruto raised an eye brow. "Is Fate your bitch or something?"

Neji blinked.

Naruto shook his head. "I mean seriously, Fate tells me this, Fate decided this. Man do you have Fate on a fucking pay roll or something."

Neji glared and charged, palms already charged with Chakra.

Naruto weaved through the many palm strikes, Neji was fast but he was a snail compared to Jiraiya. Naruto ducked under a strike to his chest. He crouched low into a horse stance (this is an actual stance from Tae Kwon Doe, my partner told me) and used a jab to Neji's stomach. Neji flew back and hit the ground hard.

Naruto smirked. "Pretty slow there, maybe you should pay off some war god too. I think that'll be better against me since Lucks on my side, neh."

Neji got up coughing. That last punched hurt but he had taken worse from Gai-sensei. "You arrogant fool, you cannot win against fate."

Naruto rolled his eyes. "Hypocrite, man oh man" Naruto looked down scratching his head. "How am I going to explain this too you."

Naruto started walking forward towards Neji.

Neji, suspicious, got into the Jyuuken stance and waited for Naruto's approach.

Naruto just kept walking, as if he didn't even notice Neji's aggression. Naruto walked closer and closer. Until he was in perfect striking distance for Neji.

Naruto sighed once more and said. "Fate is for those who are blind."

Neji face twisted in rage. He moved forward while calling out "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm"

Naruto smirked. 'Ok concentrate chakra to your feet, and release in burst as you move your ankles."

Naruto recalled the simple yet amazing technique made by a man that was called Nine dragons (I will do a crossover later with The Breaker a Manga, Please read the series it is very good).

As soon as Neji came in close ready to strike, Naruto had vanished as if into thin air. Neji already had the Byakugan up and ready, but he couldn't find Naruto anywhere. That only mean one thing. Neji spun around him and dodged the kunai's that were speeding towards him.

"Waaaah, that's pretty good intuition there Neji-kun" Naruto said while sitting on the branch in the air. Naruto was tossing a kunai in the air and catching it as it fell. Neji glared at Naruto, to be directly in the back of his blind spot… that meant Naruto knew. But how?!

Naruto kept throwing the kunai up and kept on catching it. "Neji-kun let me tell ya something."

Neji cut him off. "I do not need a lecture. You know nothing of pain."

Naruto caught the knife and did not throw it up. Naruto eyes narrowed and his voice became hard. 'Tell me what you know of pain."

Neji complied. Neji spoke of being branded with the seal. He spoke of losing his father.

All the time Naruto listened patiently.

When Neji had finished there was a hush silence.

Naruto sighed and jumped down from the tree. Naruto's hair was covering his eyes. "you are right, that is pain. I will not deny you the right to call that pain. Losing a loved one that hurts, being branded inferior that hurts also. But you are still far away from even be swallowing in self pitty. There are many out there." Naruto paused as his memories flashed through his mind. "That have dealth with worse and got through."

Naruto sighed for he last time. "That is why you lose"

Naruto vanished. Neji eyes widened. 'where is he, I can't see him, BEHIND' Neji tried to use Kaiten but his body suddenly froze. He couldn't breathe. Why couldn't he breathe!. There wasn't any air. He needed air, shit he was blacking out. "GASP" Air suddenly came back to Neji and Neji dropped down onto his knees and hands gasping.

Naruto stood behind him looking down at him. Naruto closed his eyes and raised his hand and called out "Flock of Knives."

Neji tried to stand up but suddenly he felt something brush against his body. It felt weird, he felt light. It was as if he he was really dehydrated. Neji looked down at his hands. There was cuts on them. Tiny little cuts, that started to bleed red. How did he get those cuts? What happened to him? But fate-

Neji fell to the ground, bleeding and unconscious. Naruto just stared at his opponent.

As soon as he saw that cuts on Neji start to bleed, he yelled for Medics. The medics rushed towards Neji as quickly as possible. They didn't even wait to bring him away as they immediately started treating Neji, trying to close some of the wounds. One of the medics called out ."He'll be fine the cuts are very shallow but there's a lot of them. Only then did Naruto walk silently away to the tunnel. As soon as Naruto entered the tunnel, Naruto sat against the wall and fell on his butt. Naruto only hoped Neji could forgive him. He got so caught up in his rage. Naruto looked up at the ceiling and sighed… only an hour or so till it started.

Naruto got up and walked upstairs. The wind followed him.


A/N: Here we go. This will be the last one for a lOOOONG TIME!!! Sorry for the wait. Thank you for waiting. And there will be a sequel to this.
