Hey guys. I know that it's been a while since I updated and i'm sorry since I was stuck with assignments and exams.
The review from the last chapter was appreciated and a special thanks to Hamp24 for his PM. The answer to your question to the power of the Juubi, well, since the Juubi is a creation of the Shinjuu and the Shinjuu was created by the blood of the dead, the resulting dead in the Clan wars, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd shinobi wars and since that era of Shinobi boasted powerful shinobis. Their deaths slowly empowered the Juubi but not enough to break through her Prison in the moon, for which all the 9 bijuus are needed. So Naruto is mid-Juubi level in power. That's my logic, and if you don't agree. Well it's fanfiction for a reason. Now that that's out of the way.
Here I am, with the 2nd chapter of 'The Juubi Incarnate Revamped'. Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Chunnin exams, Snakes and Blood Clones
Wave Country
"Naruto-san! You'll come back again right?!" asked a teary-eyed Inari hugging our favourite blonde.
"Yes, I will Inari. Someday. I will" Naruto replied smiling. After bidding every last villagers and Tazuna's family goodbye, Naruto turned around.
Kakashi and the other members of Team 7 were already en-route to Konoha and Naruto too ran after them screaming, "Hey, Wait for me!"
As Naruto tried to reach next to his teammates, he didn't get to hear the naming of Tazuna's bridge which was proudly named "The Great Naruto Bridge", in honour of the most recent hero of the Wave country.
As Naruto reached up to them, Juubi spoke up from within, "Hello Naruto-kun."
'Hey, Juubi-chan. Had a nice rest?', Naruto thought back.
A satisfied moan was the only reply he got. He blushed at that, and Juubi smirked within him. 'Just some more time Naru-kun. And everything will be fine.', she grinned at that thought.
'Neh, Juubi-chan, what's happened to furball. Haven't heard from him since last night.'
"He is fine Naru-kun, don't worry. He is having a nice rest."
A low growl was heard from deep within the mind of Naruto. "Behave!", was the stern reply of Juubi, and the growling stopped. Naruto raised an eyebrow at that but shrugged and asked Juubi, 'Juubi-chan, when will you start training me?'
He was anxious and very eager to learn what the, once benevolent, goddess could teach him.
"Patience, Naru-kun. As soon as we enter the gates of Konoha, I will share my every plan with you." And she purred at him. Naruto nodded and was trying hard to control his hormones at how sexy she looked in his head when she purred. The Juubi simply smiled at him.
Outside though, Kakashi simply eyed Naruto and noted his strange behaviour.
'He is spacing out a lot nowadays.' Kakashi thought, and shook him up. "Oi, Naruto."
"Hmm, oh Kakashi-sensei. What?", Naruto was a little irritated at the fact that Kakashi just interrupted his conversation.
"You spaced out again." He said and eye-smiled.
Naruto just sheepishly rubbed his head as part of the act, but inside he was sheathing at him. Kakashi just smiled back and walked on and Naruto followed suit.
Sasuke though, came up to him, and walked alongside him. He turned and said something in a very low voice. Naruto just raised an eyebrow and prodded, "What?"
"I said Thanks. For saving me back there.", and Sasuke walked off. Naruto just stood there with one eyebrow raised, confused and shocked at the fact that Sasuke Uchiha. The Sasuke Uchiha, had actually thanked him. He smiled and kept walking, and before they knew it. The gates of Konoha came into view. Everyone entered, and Naruto greeted the Guards. They nodded back at him.
"Well, i'm going to report about the success of this mission to Hokage-sama. Until then, you all are free to do anything you want now. Go, Shoo!", Kakashi said and shunshin'd to the Hokage tower.
Naruto turned and said, "Well, guess i'm going too. See you all later, I guess.", and he also walked off to the Hiruzen compound. Sasuke turned to leave when Sakura followed him and asked, "Sasuke-kun, would you-", she was cut off as Sasuke said, "I don't have time Sakura.", and walked off. Sakura turned sad and walked the other way from him.
With Naruto
Naruto opened the door to his room, situated in one of farthest corners of the Hiruzen compound, which was in quite an abysmal form. The couch was torn, with cotton strewn everywhere. There were two half eaten cups of Ramen, and a week old cup of Milk just laying around. All in all, it looked like one of the rooms of a Prison.
Naruto trudged through the room and into the Bathroom. He stood in front of the mirror and slowly let the Genjutsu dispel around him. His changed appearance stared back at him, with Golden locks streaked with Black and Purple eyes which had an intense gaze towards him. His face got angular and the whisker marks that he had faded to almost nothingness. He channelled Chakra to his eyes and the RinneSharingan came into existence. He looked at those eyes.
The eyes Juubi claimed to be the strongest.
"Mmmmm, hello handsome.", she said in a seductive voice.
'Damn, i'm so good-looking.', Naruto thought grinning.
'So Juubi-chan, about that plan?'
"Come inside your mindscape Naruto-kun. We will talk here.", was the reply.
Naruto nodded and sat down on the Bathroom floor in a lotus position and closed his eyes. And before he knew it, he was in his mindscape.
"Hello Naru-kun.", Juubi greeted him.
Naruto grinned and went near her and hugged her. Juubi returned the hug and teased him further, "My, you've grown so bold my dear."
Naruto stuttered a reply and slowly let go of the hug. Juubi just giggled and said, "Don't worry, i'm just teasing you." Naruto pouted at that, to which Juubi giggled even more.
Then she slowly turned serious and said, "Ok, Naruto-kun. Jokes aside. I'm ready to say my plan to you, are you ready?" Naruto nodded with an equally serious face. Juubi grinned and said, "Tell me Naruto-kun. Do you know the special ability of the Kage Bunshin?"
Now Naruto was interested.
With Sasuke
Sasuke entered the Uchiha compound, which was situated in a really remote corner of the village, now a lonesome compound with no one. He opened opened one of the doors and entered the house. He put his sandals in the sandal case and entered the kitchen. He took out three tomatoes and put them in the grinder, making a thick pulp to prepare a tomato soup for himself. As he made it, he thought back to the mission.
'You're my teammate teme. So I had to save you.' (Naruto)
'He is the type of person who'd risk his life for others.'(Kakashi)
'I don't wanna be thrash for life.'(Naruto)
'He has got your back. But have you got his?' (Kakashi)
'Naruto..', Sasuke thought. He then remembered what his brother Itachi said to him that horrible night.
'One day, when you'll have eyes like mine. Come before me.'
Sasuke just clutched his head and tried to clear it of all this thoughts. He saw the Soup boil and took it out and went inside his room to eat.
'I'm so confused.', were his last thoughts before he started eating the soup.
Back with Naruto
"So, this is why it was labelled a Kinjutsu by the Nidaime Hokage.", The Juubi finished her explanation of the Kage Bunshin.
Naruto nodded at the explanation , "So basically, whatever they learn, I learn too when dispelled, but the Brain can only take so much. Thankfully, I think I have a solution to that problem.", and both looked at the cage where a specific someone was sealed. Juubi grinned.
"Nice thinking Naru-kun." Juubi said smiling. Naruto just rubbed the back of his head at the praise.
The Juubi walked up to the cage and said, "Thankfully though Naru-kun, your Fa-", she heard him growl at that. She grinned and continued, "The Yondaime put up two Shishou Fuuin seals in you, which makes it easier for you to use the Kyuubi's Chakra."
"So he made it every way possible for the Village to turn me into a weapon." He said again.
The Juubi felt giddy at his new found hatred for the Yondaime. 'Naru-kun. Just a little bit more time and then, you'll be a force to be reckoned with.' The Juubi thought. She said, "Naru-kun. So are you ready to start your training?"
Naruto nodded. He was eager to learn from the once Benevolent Goddess. Eager to learn the teachings, know her ideals and beliefs. One thing was for certain. He would never let her see him as a disappointment. He would never let her down. He would become the most feared Shinobi of all. He will become the messiah of this accursed land and teach humanity a lesson they will never forget. With new-found resolve, he stood up and faced her.
Juubi smiled at him and said, "Good. First, I will teach you some basic Chakra control exercises. Outside, make a total of 300 clones. Henge them and let 50 do the Kinobori no Waza. 50 others do the Suimen Hokou no Waza. Another 100, basic elemental manipulation and the last 100 to learn some Jutsu''s that i'll be providing you."
Naruto nodded and left the mindscape. As he came to be, he whispered, "Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." Making 300 clones and ordering them to do as per Juubi's orders. All of them nodded and walked away to different places to train, not before Naruto telling them to disperse one by one gradually when done. While the original Naruto sat down under a tree and started Meditating since Juubi told her this would keep him calm and in control.
Timeskip- 2 months
Team 7 had successfully completed another D-rank mission, which was, as Naruto termed it, ban of all Shinobis. He had enough of this regular D-rank missions that they have been doing for the past two months. Even Sasuke was starting to show signs of agitation and felt like he would 'Amaterasu' Kakashi's ass if he would not give them any other missions. Sakura, as usual, kept fawning and fangirling over how her 'Sasuke-kun' was so cool.
Sasuke had actually trained and improved over his Sharingan abilities but also came to know about it's drawback. The Mangekyou gave him extreme advantage and a very powerful attacks, but it was taxing on his chakra and it slowly and gradually made him blind. He resolved in not making use of the Mangekyou that much, until and unless necessary.
But it was as if Fate had heard their prayers, when Kakashi came up to them and offered them forms. Everyone raised their eyebrow at this and Kakashi explained, "It is an eligible form for the Chunnin exams. Konoha is staging this year's Chunnin exams and Genins from all over the Nation would be coming to compete here."
Naruto turned giddy at the prospect of this Chunnin exams, whereas inner Naruto started discussing plans to take advantage of this exams. Sasuke looked excited and thrilled at this news and literally grinned at the piece of paper he held in his hand. Sakura though looked unsure about it.
"This exams can only be taken in a three-man cell. If you want to compete, all three of you will have to compete or you'll not be eligible. I'm recommending you because in my opinion. You are ready.", Kakashi said with his trademark U eye-smile, and shunshin'd away.
Naruto took the paper and ran to his room, feeling excited and pumped up. Sasuke too grinned and started walking away to his compound. Sakura looked doubtfully at the form she held but the saw Sasuke grin and resolved, 'I won't let Sasuke-kun down!' and went straight to her home.
With Naruto
Naruto entered the Hiruzen compound and went straight to his room.
'What do you think Juubi-chan? I think we can use this Chunnin exams to our advantage.''Naruto thought.
"Yes. I think we can. What are planning though Naru-kun?", Juubi asked.
'Hmm, from what I know, this exams go through three stages. Written, Survival and then One on One battles. If we could have a chance, it will be during the Survival or One on One.'
"You make a good point. So how much have you improved?"
'I'm doing great in Elemental manipulation and i've learned almost 20 Jutsus, 5 of all four elements.'
"You're progress is astounding Naru-kun. At this rate, you're well on the road to being the strongest. As expected of my incarnation."'Juubi smiled.
Naruto blushed at her praise and nodded. He resolved that he'd never let her down and so long, it was going good. He had not disappointed her.
He then sat in the futon and started meditating. Juubi smiling at him.
With Sasuke
He was in the Uchiha training grounds practicing his Uchiha interceptor Taijutsu form. He flowed through the movements with his Sharingan glowing. He started reminiscing about the massacre and then about the time when Naruto took that attack for him. He was genuinely confused and couldn't comprehend this things.
He looked at the nearby tree and his Sharingan turned to Mangekyou and he whispered in a menacing way, "Amaterasu!".
The tree burned down to a crisp and ashes flew away in the blowing wind. He glared at that tree and thought, 'Tch, Whoever will come in my way shall face my wrath. The Uchiha's wrath! Itachi, i'm coming for you.'
And he walked away, never seeing the two pairs of purple eyes watching him discreetly.
Next day (Chunnin exams)
Naruto was walking down the streets of Konoha amidst the glares and spites directed to him. He just shrugged them off and turned a corner where he saw a small boy being held by his scarf. Looking closely, he could clearly figure out that he was Konohamura, the son of the third Hokage. He also saw his banshee-like teammate A.K.A Sakura, trying to reason with the boy who held Konohamura up but was failing.
He walked up to them said, "Hey! Let him go you freak!"
"Who you calling freak!", the boy who held up Konohamura turned to him. He let Konohamura go at which instance Konohamura ran and hid in the nearby tree.
"Let it go Kankuro." The girl with blonde hair behind him said.
"What's got you to put on make-up on your face. You a middle?", Naruto asked ignoring the girl.
"It's not make-up! It's War-paint damn it!", the boy now named Kankuro said.
"Could've fooled me."
"Why you?!" but he was stopped when someone threw a stone at him.
"Tch, why don't you pick on someone your own size."
Kankuro turned and looked up from where the voice had come. There was Sasuke, perched on one of the branches with that oh-so irritating smirk.
"You!", Kankuro glared. He started to reach his back for the thing he was carrying but stopped dead cold when he heard.
"That's enough Kankuro, you've ashamed our village.", a cold voice said out.
Sasuke looked over him and saw a boy with a large guard hanging behind him. He jumped down to the side of Kankuro.
'I didn't even sense him.', was the thought of Sasuke.
"B-but, G-Garaa.." "Shut up or i'll kill you."
Sasuke jumped down and turned to him. Naruto still watched on, especially the boy with the guard.
"Shukkaku.", was the voice that came from within.
'Kyuubi?', Naruto thought back.
"That is Shukkaku. He is the Ichibi. He has the ability to control sand.", Kyuubi replied.
'Hmmm. So he could be neigh unstoppable in Suna.', Naruto thought. He was broken off of his thought when Garaa said,
"Mother wants your blood."
"Huh?" "Mother will have your blood blondie."
Naruto just shrugged and walked away. Sakura started screeching out to them about village responsibilities which nobody gave a damn about. Naruto and Sasuke started walking to the academy where the written exam was to be held. Sakura reached them and they raised an eyebrow.
"I will follow wherever Sasuke goes!" she declared.
They just shook their head and kept on walking.
As they reached the 2nd floor,they saw three Genin trying to enter the room.
"Please let us in." "This test is not for underqualifiers. Go away."
Sasuke wanted to say that this was just an illsion but then remembered something he read in a scroll left behind by Itachi. It said 'Never reveal your powers quickly'. So he kept quiet and walked away. But someone couldn't just let them walk by and,
"Uchiha-san. Fight me!"
Sasuke turned and saw a boy with green bodysuit and a bob cut hair. He jumped in front of him and declared, "You are a born Genius, while I am a genius at Hardwork. Let's fight and see who wins."
Sasuke smirked. "Fine by me."
They both took a stance, Sakura screaming her support for Sasuke and Lee proclaiming that he will also win Sakura's heart after defeating Sasuke, which earned him an 'EWWW!'from Sakura. Taking a stance he said, "My name is Rock Lee. And I am going to defeat you Uchiha-san.", and he jumped at him with a punch, which Sasuke dodged but couldn't see the incoming kick that followed up. He blocked it but staggered back a bit grunting. He activated his Sharingan at that. 'Tch, so much for not revealing your powrers.', he thought.
Lee smirked and jumped at him screaming, "Here I come! Konoha Senpu!"
"Lee!" he stopped dead at his track. "How many times have I told you to not use that technique right now."
"I'm sorry Gai-sensei! I just got too much excited at the prospect of challenging Uchiha-san over here."
There came a dopleganger of Lee who had the same dresscode just with the Jounin vest upon himself. He smiled and said, "I know Lee! You must've found your eternal rival in him. Just as mine is with Kakashi."
"Aaah, yes! Gai-sensei! Uchiha-san will make a fine rival for me."
Then the both of them hugged each other. An aura of impending doom fell down on the hall as everyone got ready bt what they saw would stay at their minds forever or more.
"Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!"
"Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!"
There were many shouts of 'Kai!'or 'Make it stop!'or 'Oh my Kami! My eyes!' Suffice to say it was a Genjutsu of epic proportions with two male hugging each other and a sunset behind them.
Naruto turned and ran away to the 3rd floor. He didn't want to be hit by that Genjutsu which would totally scar his mind. He turned and saw Kakashi leaning on the wall, reading that same orange book he always had with him.
"Where are the others?", he asked.
"Probably coming up right now after being hit by that atrocious Genjutsu some guy in a green suit did.", Naruto replied.
Kakashi just sighed muttering 'Gai.' Quickly, the others too made an appearance and Kakashi smiled at them. Wishing them good luck, he shunshin'd away to Kami knows where. The three of the, entered the room301 and saw many eyes turn towards them. Killing intent was pouring through the room, in a way to have intimidated them. But they had faced Zabuza, an A-rank missing nin, whose KI was even more then this amount. So they weren't affected the slightest.
Just then, Team10 came in , followed by Team8 where Kiba exclaimed, "Alright! The Rookie nine is here! Damn, we gonna rock this exams, right Akamaru?", his nin dog responding with an excited bark.
"Well, look whose decuded to grace us. The mutt with his pet dog.", Sasuke said. Ino and Sakura were still arguing on who was the better shinobi for Sasuke.
"Watch it Uchiha!", Kiba responded.
"My, oh my. You guys are surely very energetic.", a silky voice said.
The whole rookie nine turned to see who spoke and saw a boy who had silverfish-blue hair with round glasses on. Naruto began to gain suspiciousness at him since he smlled to much of snakes.
'Only one shinobi ever fought with snakes. And that was Orochimaru.', he thought. His tenants agreeing the same.
"Watch out for him Naru-kun.", Juubi said.
Naruto nodded and looked on with interest when Sasuke asked about the info on Garaa, Lee and Neji. He grew even more suspicious at that, since he knew that getting that much info on Garaa should be possible only if he had ever been to Suna, even then it was hard to find such info. He still watched when a group of Genin whose village was unknown to him, blasted him away with an invisible attack .
'That was a sound based Jutsu.', Naruto thought.
"Alright maggots! Get to your seats! You exams start now, and I won't tolerate anymore insolence from you!" a booming voice called out. "I'm Morino Ibuki and i'll be the proctor for today's written exam."
After 2 hours
"You all pass!", the remaining Genins were shocked at the answer. "Just as the brat said. This was just a test to see if you could take in the pressure of anything. As Chunnin you'd be sent to very high-ranking missions, which can result in capture. The thing is to see if you're tough enough to take in the pressure and not give in to your fears and let slip valuable village information."
The remaining students were shocked at the revelation. 'Nice going, Dobe.', was the thought of a certain Uchiha.
Just then a smoke bomb explodes and a banner emerged saying 'The Most Sexy Proctor of Konoha'. A female came out of the smoke and exclaimed, "Yoo hoo! I'm here!", looking at the students she said,
"You're getting lax in your proctoring Morino. 42 genins. Now that is just plain stupid."
"What can I say. We've got an interesting batch this year." With that said, Anko took all the Genins to their next exam.
Timeskip: Forest Of Death
Naruto was walking behind his teammates as backup and had sent out clones to search for enemy troops. He spaced out as he was having a conversation with the Juubi.
'So Juubi-chan, what do I learn now. I have thoroughly grasped the elemental parts and it's only time until I totally learn it.', he thought back.
"Hmm, since you've learned those. I would tell you to start training my eyes Naru-kun. Till now, you can only do Shinra Tensei and Bansho Tennin. There is still the other five paths left. And you don't have any idea what the Sharingan can do.", Juubi replied.
'Ok, ok i'll-.' His train of thought was cut off when they were surrounded by Ame Genin team.
"Give us the scroll you have and you will leave. We know you have the Heaven's scroll with you.", one of the Genin said.
"Not a chance lowlives." Sasuke retorted and, "Amaterasu!" Two members of the Genin team were heat by the black flames and got burned to death. The last barely saved himself, when Naruto came up behind him and said, "Nighty, night." And chopped him in his head, knocking him unconscious. Searching their pockets, they found an Earth scroll. Taking it, they started walking but Naruto started to get suspicious. He marked the ways in which they came and saw the same mark that he put up in front of him. "Oi Teme! You think we're going the right way?"
Sasuke looked back at him, when Naruto pointed at a mark and said, "I marked our path and till now, we've passed that damn sign almost two times in a row."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. Activating his Sharingan, he saw a layer of Genjutsu being put up in the surrounding. A nod and a small chakra outburst by both of them dispersed the genjutsu. They started walking never knowing the small squinted ellow eyes of a certain snake watching their every move.'
After two hours of walking they were deep in the jungle and Naruto started getting a very bad vibe from the atmosphere.
'You feeling what i'm feeling Juubi-chan?'
"Yes Naru-kun. A very malevolent chakra has been following us since the start."
'Yeah, that's what I thought.' He called out, "Oi Teme, you feeling what i'm feeling.?"
"It's just the wind dobe. Keep walking.", Sasuke felt it too, but didn't acknowledge it that much. Sakura was still in her dreamland.
Suddenly, there was a rustling of leaves and then, a huge Killing Intent washed over them like an Ocean. Pressring them down with such intensity that all they saw was their deaths.
'What s this?', Sasuke saw himself getting killed in numerous ways, over and over again. 'This is on a whole new level.'
Sakura fell unconscious when the KI hit them. Naruto trembled too. 'This is too much.', he thought.
"Quickly, cut yourself Naruto! Free yourself!", Juubi screamed in his mind. Naruto with much difficulty cut himself in the thigh and felt himself get free. He saw Sakura unconscious, and Sasuke with a Kunai to his throat. He rushed to him and hit the Kunai away, snapping him out of the nightmare.
"Kukukuukukukuku.", and inhumanely insane laughter rang across the forest. "The Jinchuuriki and the Uchiha boy. Why, I have a fine catch today. Kukuku." A figure emerged from one of the trees and leered at them.
"You're that weird Genin again. What are you or Who are you exactly?", Naruto asked with narrowed eyes. He sensed a vile chakra from that female genin and took a stance.
"Do you really think you can defeat me boy? Don't make me LAUGH!", and with that she summoned a huge ass snake and let it go to the blonde. Naruto widened his eyes as the snake neared him and hit him with a head butt sending him flying through the trees.
"Naruto!", Sasuke screamed.
"Tch, he is down for the count. Now Sasuke-kun, let's enjoy.", she grinned and jumped at him.
'He has your back. Do you have his Sasuke?'
The question of Kakashi went through his head and he said, "I have now!" and activating his three-tomoe'd Sharingan he jumped at her. He threw several Kunais at her, which she dodged and then she kicked him in the chest. He flew back at sneered at her. 'She's too powerful to be Genin.', he thought.
"Oooh, Sasuke-kun don't you try to resist. Kukuku. I only want your delicious body.", she said with that vile grin.
Elsewhere with Naruto
Dodging all the attacks of the snake, Naruto was having a bad day. "Ok, no more hiding it anymore. This snake is going down for sure!" he did handsigns and screamed,
"Katon: Goryuuka no Jutsu!", a huge dragon of fire came out of his mouth and burned the whole snake down to ashes. It couldn't even return to the summon's world anymore.
"Tch, filthy snake. I hate them. This has confirmed that Orochimaru is here, since he is the only one to have the snake summons. But why is he here?"
"We can worry about that later, now tell me what do we do?", the Kyuubi spoke out in a gruff voice.
'Tch, just wait will ya. Now, Juubi-chan, you said something about Chishio bunshins being undistinguishable from the original since it cannot be dispelled by normal means.', Naruto thought.
"Yes. It was a Kinjutsu designed by Mito Uzumaki. Your ancestor. She was the first jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi."
'And yet she was never hated.', Naruto scoffed. 'They are no ancestors of mine.'
"So what will you be doing.", Juubi asked.
'I'm thinking of leaving a Chishio bunshin here, and start my journey. I have thought up a brilliant idea.', Naruto grinned.
Juubi was interested. She thought that she knew everything the blonde plotted but it seemed now that he was a very sly person. 'I'm liking you even more now, Naru-kun.' She thought.
'So, let's start making one.', he thought and opened a scroll he carried in a storage seal.
With Sasuke
'What the hell is she?!', Sasuke thought, dodging the various Kunais flung at him. One nicked his pants a little and he landed in the ground.
"Kukkukukuku, this way you'll never kill your brother Sasuke-kun.", she taunted.
"Don't talk about him in-front of me!", he then activated his Mangekyou.
Orochimaru sensed the chakra build-up and he watched with wide eyes. "Thats-", she couldn't finish her sentence as Sasuke screamed, "Amaterasu!"
'No way, he activated Mangekyou too!', he thought, trying to escape the raging black fires. His arms got burned and thus he screamed. 'Tch, he is no way powerful like Itachi. I think i'll shed this skin now.', thinking that he came ut of the body he possessed and saw it get burned. Calming himself he again grinned and said, "Impressive, Sasuke-kun. Now I want you even more."
Sasuke was shocked to see a different man emerge who had long black hair and yellow glowing slitted eyes. 'H-he escaped my jutsu.'
Back with Naruto
There was poof of smoke and now a new Naruto stood infront of the original. They both grinned and the clone said, "What shall I do boss?"
Naruto grinned and said, "Act the dobe I was before. Act the same way I did and keep proclaiming you'll become Hokage. Don't let an inch of suspicion upon you got it?"
The clone nodded.
'The time has come.', he original thought. Another storage seal opened and a cloak fell out of it with a black half-mask, just like Kakashi. He Henge'd his hair to silver and wore them, discarding his hitai-ate and giving it to the clone. The clone wore his apparel and then nodded. The original said, "Go back, to Sasuke and here." His hands glowed with purple colour and,
"Bijuu Kawarimi Fuuinjutsu." He whispered and put his hands into the stomach of his clone. He slowly drew the symbol of Shiki Fuujin and also of the Hakke no Fuuin Shiki and slowly the essence of the Kyuubi began to be transferred to the clone. Juubi made sure that no one would sense this activity so she telepathically created a very strong barrier around them.
Naruto had studied the total working mechanism of the Yondaime's seal. Being an Uzumaki helped him with seals, as it came to him like the soil absorbing the water. So, he also created a seal, which would securely transfer a Bijuu to another container without the death of the previous. It was safe to say that only he knew this jutsu and no one else would ever know of it. It was Naruto's masterpiece. His first ever creation.
After the transfer was over within three minutes, Naruto fell back exhausted. "Now one will ever suspect you of being a clone.", he smirked at this.
This was his plan. Make a clone of him with the Kyuubi inside him and he would be free to wonder the whole ninja world without it. Juubi was impressed by this tactic.
"So what is the plan now Naru-kun?", Juubi asked.
'It would be very suspicious if I just appeared out of nowhere and we still have to find Zetsu. So I have plan.', he thought back, watching his clone go back to his teammate. 'And it involves a certain Uchiha i've read about in Hiruzen's records. Turns out he is nearby.'
The Juubi was very curious now. Smiling behind the mask, Naruto's eyes glinted with mirth and then he shunshin'd away from the place. 'Goodbye Konoha. Your time will soon come, along with the whole Elemental nations.'
With Sasuke
Orochimaru was about to attack Sasuke again when he saw many blonde drop from the sky screaming, "Uzumaki Rendan!", and then Orochimaru knew it was Naruto. He made handsigns and, "Doton; Doryuudan!", mud bullets from an earth dragon shot at them and the Kage Bunshins were dispelled.
Naruto appeared before him, with orange chakra covering him, with a kick aimed to his head but Orochimaru dodged and said, "I'm not after you! You filthy Jinchuuriki! Get away."
His left hands glowed blue in the fingers and he caught the leg of Naruto and pulled towards him. He thrust his hand towards the stomach of Naruto and, "This is what you get for interfering brat. Gogyou Fuuin!", and a seal array appeared over the Shiki Fuujin. Naruto's cloak disappeared and he blacked out. Kicking him away Orochimaru walked up to the utterly exhausted Sasuke. He grinned and appeared behind him and bit down on the neck of Sasuke. Sasuke screamed in agony and blacked out before hearing,
"You will come to Sasuke-kun. You will come to me and I will give you the power you need to defeat Itachi."
Timeskip( 8 hours approx )
The whole of team7 and the other rookie nine were situated at entrance of the hall. They kept watching Sasuke warily due to his outburst earlier. Sasuke was still unstable and Kakashi came up to him and said, "Come on Sasuke. Let's check that seal you have in the neck."
Kiba snickered at a joke Naruto said about 'Sasuke getting a hickey from a Pedo'. But kept silent under the glare of Kakashi.
They all entered the hall and the One on One tournament was to begin.
With Naruto
The orig. Naruto shunshin'd out of the village and reached the Valley of the End. Looking at the two statues of Hashirama and Madara, the two strongest Shinobi till date, he was in awe.
'Tch, all of them became deranged in their path to bring peace.', Naruto scoffed.
He walked up to Madara's statues and walked up to a certain point, "Fuuin Kai!"
A seal array appeared and he smeared some of the samples of Madara's blood upon it, that he found in the graves of Hashirama. With a poof, a small opening appeared and he went through it. Entering he saw that it was dark with very dim-light luminiscing the room. Suddenly he was attacked by a tree branch, he dodged it and did handsigns, "Katon: Karyuu Endan!", burning down the trees. Sensing his attacker behind him he turned and said, "Bansho Tennin."
A black and white blur got attracted towards him and he held him by his throat. He grinned and said, "aaah, Zetsu. So nice to see you."
Zetsu was surprised as he was called out. He chocked out, "Who are you..?"
"Well, who am I this will be only told by your mother."
"Mother? We have no mother. We're just a creation."
"Your mother is Kaguya isn't she? The rabbit goddess?"
Zetsu's eyes widened. He was shocked to the core for the first time. This boy knew of his existence, this boy knew how he was conceived. He chocked, "H-how d-do.."
"How do I know? I'm her re-incarnation Zetsu. Now come on.", he let him go and spread his arms. "Give your Imouto a hug."
"I don't believe you one bit.", Zetsu growled. Naruto sighed and said, "Maybe this will help."
Activating his RinneSharingan, he pulled Zetsu to his mindscape.
Zetsu staggered a bit and stood up. He was in a sewer when a melodious voice called out, "Hello Sochi-kun."
Zetsu turned and saw someone he thought he would've never seen for another decade. He ran to her and hugged her whispering, "Kaa-sama."
And that will be wrap up for this chapter. Yep, it's kinda shorter then what I wanted, but i'll manage. And it's kinda rushed too cuz I have to put up another chapter of my 'The Decaying Alchemist' fanfic.
