Chapter 2
3 Months Later
It had been three months since the class had their blood tested for Blood Gifts and Curses, which urged some students to train harder in the efforts of activating their gifts.
As the months passed the rankings in classed had changed with Ryu and Naruto ranking 3rd and 4th in the Shinobi courses, while the Pokegirl courses had them both still tied for the top spot.
It had taken some time, but Ryu had been able to convince Naruto to train harder by saying it would piss of Sasuke if one of them took the title of Rookie of the Year and no Pokegirl would respect him as a Tamer if he is weak.
As they trained the two were able to activate some of their Blood Gifts such as Endurance, Toughness, Regeneration, Recovery, and Night Vision.
Though with the Blood Gifts came the Blood Curses, though they both figured they had Tamer's disease, while Naruto had the Wanderlust curse as well, which explained why he usually skipped classes, or that could be because Iruka's lectures are really boring.
Today was the day, the day of the Graduation Exam, the day that would determine whether you became a Ninja Tamer or not and Naruto couldn't help but be nervous as he walked into the class with Ryu beside him.
Ryu clapped his brother on the back, "Don't worry we are going to graduate with flying colors and take that #1 ranking from Sasuke." He said grinning.
Naruto smiled, "Yeah we are going to beat that teme!" He said causing the Uchiha in question to just scoff.
"A dobe like you can't beat a Uchiha only a Uchiha can beat a Uchiha." Sasuke said as his fangirls agreed with him.
"That's right Baka! No one can beat Sasuke-kun!" Shouted out Sakura.
"Quiet!" Iruka shouted bringing the class's attention towards him, "Good, today you all take the Graduation exam that will decide if you do or don't become a Tamer or Ninja Tamer. Since there are more people wanting to be a Tamer of some kind you all will be taking the Basic Tamer's Test before the Shinobi Exam."
"To become a Tamer, you must pass with 70% or higher, if you achieve 90% or higher you will be allowed to have 3 Pokegirls in your harem instead of the standard 2 that is for genin. I will have one of my Pokegirl watching you all to see if you cheat, which will be an automatic fail, so it is in your best interest not to cheat." Iruka said as he passed out the tests and signaled for them to begin.
Iruka watched the students with a keen eye and couldn't help but have a small smile as he watched Naruto and Ryu skim the questions and answer them with what they thought was the correct answer in a quick fashion.
After an hour Iruka called them to put down their pencils, while calling down his Pokegirl which was a Ka-D-Bra that had long black hair in a ponytail. The students watched as she whispered into Iruka's ear as he nodded.
The class was surprised as four students were floating in the air, "You four get an automatic 0% for cheating." Iruka said with a frown as his Pokegirl put the four out of the class.
"Now all those who only want to be a Tamer I would like you all to leave the room." Iruka said giving the Tamer Tests to his Pokegirl to grade as most of the civilian students left the room with only a few staying. "Now unlike the Tamer's Exam the test to becoming a shinobi has three parts: a written portion, after that will be the physical portion, and lastly is the Ninjutsu portion, and just like the Tamer's Exam you will be watched to make sure you're not cheating, which is an automatic fail."
The moment the tests were passed out everyone began. Naruto couldn't help but be glad that Ryu and Aki had forced him to study Konoha history as he answered questions that would have given him a hard time a month ago.
Ryu had finished the test 10 minutes into it with the only ones finishing faster being Sakura and Shikamaru, who immediately took a nap after flipping the test down.
"Time is up! Put your pencils down and go with Mizuki, who will take you to where your Physical/Taijutsu potion of the test will be." Iruka said as all the students stood up and followed Mizuki out as he collected test papers.
Mizuki started reading off names to take their spots in the Taijutsu ring, where they would fight for ten minutes or until someone was knocked out of the ring. To get points it mattered on how well you do in your fight in which these points would then be added to the written test.
Ryu watched as some of the clan heirs fought against civilians and won, though there were a couple of clan heirs that fought against each other such as Kiba fighting Choji, who won when Kiba got arrogant and said, 'I can beat fatty here easily.' There was the battle between Shino and Shikamaru, who forfeited saying it was 'too troublesome,'
"Sasuke Uchiha versus Naruto Uzumaki, "Mizuki called out with a smirk causing most of the girls to cheer for the Uchiha as the two walked into the ring.
"You should just give up dobe, you have no chance of beating me." Sasuke said with a voice filled with arrogance.
"Don't listen to the asshole bro, show them what you are really capable of." Ryu said ignoring the fangirls yelling at him for calling their 'Sasuke-kun' an asshole.
Mizuki started the match Ryu couldn't help but grin as Naruto suddenly had his fist lodged in Sasuke's stomach causing the Uchiha to cough up a little spit as he bent over only to get a knee to the face breaking his nose in the process. Without missing a beat Naruto front kicked Sasuke out of the ring.
"Winner Naruto Uzumaki!" Iruka shouted in surprise with Mizuki and the class feeling the same.
"No! That baka probably cheated Iruka-sensei." Sakura yelled out with Ino agreeing, "There is no way a dead last could beat Sasuke-kun in a fight."
"Oh, shut up and last I checked my brother wasn't a dead last anymore and can you tell me how he cheated?" Ryu asked.
"Shut up baka, we all know your brother cheated, there is no way he could've defeated Sasuke-kun in a fair fight, so just admit that you cheated!" Sakura shouted pointing at Naruto.
"I don't have to explain myself to someone as useless as you." Naruto said calmly as he left the ring high-fiving his brother.
"Enough! We still have others that have to take a test." Iruka yelled quieting the class as he called up Ryu and a random civilian.
As the match started Ryu couldn't help but sweat drop at his opponent's pathetic stance. It had only a few seconds for Ryu to knee the boy in the stomach and roundhouse him out of the ring.
"Winner: Ryu Zerix!" Iruka called surprised at the how fast the match ended as all the students went inside to take the last test, which was the Ninjutsu portion.
As students went in and out with headbands it was finally Naruto's turn as he walked in and found himself standing in front of Iruka and Mizuki.
"All you have to do is perform the Transformation, Substitution, and Clone jutsus and you will have become a proud Ninja Tamer of Konoha." Iruka said smiling at Naruto as he nodded.
In a puff of smoke Naruto had made a clone and transformed into Iruka and Mizuki while substituting with them as well.
Iruka couldn't help but look at Naruto proudly before Mizuki threw a kunai at the clone that looked like himself watching as it pop making him smirk to himself. "I'm sorry Naruto but you must do the illusionary Clone jutsu." Mizuki said.
Iruka shook his head, "All students are allowed to use any type of clone jutsu, it is just harder to use the others and to be able to do Shadow Clone Jutsu, a jutsu that even Jounin find difficult you get bonus points. "Iruka said as he had Naruto close his eyes and put his headband on Naruto's head.
"Good job Naruto." Iruka said with a smile as he had Naruto open his eyes seeing Iruka without his headband.
"You worked hard to make it this far Naruto and for that I'm giving you my headband. Wear it proudly as a Shinobi of Konoha." Iruka said with so much pride in his voice.
"I will and thank you Iruka-sensei." Naruto said with a wide smile as he left the room as Ino entered it.
As Naruto entered the classroom and most of the class couldn't help but look at the Uzumaki in shock as he walked in with a headband on his forehead. Sasuke glared at Naruto remembering his humiliating defeat. He had been hoping Naruto would fail so he could mock him.
Naruto fist bumped with Ryu as Ino came out with a headband signifying it was Ryu's turn.
Walking in to stand in front of Mizuki and Iruka Ryu narrowed his eyes at the look in Mizuki's eyes.
"Just like everyone else all you have to do is do the Transformation, Substitution, and Clone." Mizuki said inwardly hoping Ryu would fail so he could have him steal the forbidden scroll of sealing under the disguise of a secret test to become a shinobi.
In a puff of smoke Iruka and Mizuki were standing where Ryu had been and sitting in front of them were the first three hokages, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Hiruzen Sarutobi staring at them with a scrutinizing gaze that gave them both a chill down their spine before in a puff of smoke sat three Ryu with a grin on their face before the two disappeared.
"I am proud to call you a Konoha shinobi Ryu." Iruka said as he gave Ryu a headband watching as he tied it to his left bicep.
"Thank you, Iruka-Sensei, me and Naruto couldn't have made it this far without your help." Ryu said bowing to Iruka before left with Iruka and Mizuki following since he had been the last person to take the test.
'Damn it! It looks like I'll have to steal the scroll myself!' Mizuki thought giving the students a fake smile as Iruka talked about how proud he was of them for passing.
"Now I will call out all those who got 90% or higher on their Basic Tamer Exam. All those I call will be allowed to have three Pokegirls in their harem while everyone else will only be allowed the standard two until you become Chunin where you will be allowed 4 Pokegirls. The only other way is to get expressed permission from our hokage. This does not extend to those who are only Tamers and are automatically allowed to have six pokegirls in their harem. If you have any questions about this, you can come talk to me later." Iruka said before pulling out a paper with a list of names.
"Sasuke Uchiha passing with 91%, Sakura Haruno passing with 94%, Shino Aburame passing with 96%, Naruto Uzumaki passing with 98%, and Ryu Zerix passing with a perfect 100%. You all are allowed to carry 3 Pokegirls in your harems. Now tomorrow we will all be going to the ranch where you will all pick out your starter Pokegirl, those of you from clans are allowed to get your starter from your clan's ranch or from the one we'll be going to tomorrow. Also, don't be late or you could be the last person to get a Pokegirl and I will be announcing team placements and the Rookie of the year after you have gotten your starter Pokegirl." Iruka said dismissing them.
Walking out of the academy students were met by their parents giving them their congratulations.
Ryu walked out of the building with Naruto and both of them were met by a hug from Nova and Aki as they caught sight of the headbands. "We knew you could do it!" Nova said happily.
Ryu gave Nova a kiss, "Of course nothing is going to stop me from accomplishing my dream." He said.
"Yeah! I'm going to be hokage and no test is going to stop me!" Naruto boasted as he put an arm around Aki.
"As celebration for us passing let's go out for Ramen and Dango, we will put it on the old man's tab." Ryu said as they cheered before hearing a cough.
Ryu turned around and paled a little seeing the third hokage, "What is this about putting it on my tab?" Hiruzen asked.
The young man shook his head rapidly, "Nothing I meant put the tab on the one you call Kakashi because he is always late and gives horrible excuses or that is what you told me." He said.
"That is better now why don't we go celebrate your graduation to becoming Shinobi Tamers." Hiruzen said as they walked to Ichiraku.
"I can't say how proud I am that you two graduated." Hiruzen said as he started eating his order of ramen smirking to himself as he watched the two boys and Pokegirls eat bowl after bowl of ramen, 'This is what you get for always being late Kakashi, by the time their full you won't be able to pay for the next book in the Icha Icha Paradise series.' He thought.
"I agree and to celebrate your graduation its all on the house, "said Ichiraku, owner and friend of Naruto and Ryu.
"That's alright old man Ichiraku this is all going on Kakashi's tab, we wouldn't want to bankrupt you for eating so much." Ryu said causing the man in relief causing Aki and Nova to giggle.
"Thanks jiji, if you hadn't taught us the Shadow Clone jutsu we probably wouldn't have passed." Naruto said with Ryu nodding as he slurped down another bowl of ramen.
"Yeah, we wouldn't be as strong as we are now if we hadn't learned the secret of the jutsu too." Ryu said stack his finished bowls which at the moment was 6 while Naruto was beating him by 2 bowls.
"Think nothing of it, so do you boys know what Pokegirl your getting from the ranch tomorrow?" The kage asked.
Both the boys nodded as they finished their bowls of ramen with Naruto finishing 15 bowls, Ryu finishing 14, Aki with 7, and Nova with 9 bowls.
"Yeah she has been waiting to be my Pokegirl since I first met her three months ago." Ryu said he got off his stool with Nova doing the same.
"Now me and Nova are going to go get some Dango on Kakashi's tab and afterwards see you later old man." Ryu said as he put his arm around Nova and walked to the Dango stand.
Hiruzen could only shake his head, "He is going to run Kakashi bankrupt."
Naruto laughed, "I'm going to go train jiji." He said leaving with Aki before the kage stopped him.
"Naruto, tomorrow after you've gotten your Pokegirl and learned your team placements I want you and Ryu to come to my office, I have something important to tell you and Ryu now that you have graduated." He said is tone slightly solemn.
"Alright jiji, I'll tell bro when I meet up with him for training." Naruto said leaving the ramen stand.
Later on Ryu and Nova met up with Naruto and Aki after eating over a dozen plates of Dango and at the moment they were both fighting against each other before sensing someone running through the forest near them.
"You sensed that, too right?" Naruto asked with Ryu nodding.
"Yeah it felt like it was Mizuki but why would he be running through the forest at this time of night?" Ryu asked only for Naruto to shrug as they both started following Mizuki's aura.
After 10 minutes of following Mizuki's aura they finally caught up with him in a clearing and saw that he was holding a huge scroll that looked like the forbidden scroll of sealing before Iruka appeared confronting him.
"Mizuki why would you steal the scroll of sealing?" Iruka asked only to dodge a wind demon shuriken.
"I wouldn't have had to steal it if those demon brats hadn't graduated!" He growled as he pulled out a pokeball.
"I don't know how you can stand even close to those demons, they were the ones who killed your parents." Mizuki said throwing out the pokeball as a Pokegirl popped out and Iruka couldn't help but gasp as out came a Hyperdoll causing all those in the vicinity to glare at Mizuki.
"Kill Iruka." Mizuki demanded the Hyperdoll who scoffed at Mizuki before launching herself towards Iruka about to hit him with a Mega Punch only for Iruka jumped out of the way at the last second.
"They aren't demons they are just kids who were just given a bad hand." Iruka said narrowly dodging a Mega Kick.
Naruto looked at Ryu with worry, "We have to help Iruka-sensei."
Ryu nodded, "Yeah but first we have to come up with a plan and make sure Mizuki doesn't send out anymore Pokegirls."
"Now Nova, you and Aki are going to fight the Hyperdoll, while me and Naruto take care of Mizuki." Ryu said as they nodded quickly coming up with a plan to stop the Hyperdoll.
The Hyperdoll had finally closed the distance between Iruka and her as she threw a Crushing Punch she was tackled by a brown blur causing Iruka to sigh in relief.
As the Hyperdoll pulled herself off the ground growling wondering who had stopped her only to feel like a slight burn as she looked up to see Aki and Nova.
Mizuki growled seeing someone was interfering before he ducked as a kunai flew over his head. His instincts kicked in causing him to jump back as three shuriken landed where he had last been.
He coughed as he found a knee in his stomach curtesy of Naruto, who was glaring at him as he punched the blonde only for him to turn to smoke signifying a shadow clone.
"That was for turning your Pokegirl into a Hyperdoll." Naruto's voice said echoing through the forest.
"I'm not scared of you demons!" Mizuki yelled
"You should be." Whispered a voice over Mizuki's shoulder causing him to swipe a kunai before his back only to see nothing.
"Come out demons and show yourself!" Mizuki shouted into the empty air.
"We're right here." Naruto said suddenly right in front of Mizuki, who was about to throw a kunai at Naruto hoping to lodge it in his forehead only to have his back legs kicked out from under him before he had a kunai right at his throat.
"Now you are under arrest for theft of the scroll of sealing is there anything you would like to say before you are executed for what could only be treason by sealing village secrets?" Ryu asked.
"Would you like to know why the village hates you two so much?" Mizuki asked only for Iruka to yell at him.
"Don't Mizuki is forbidden to talk about it!" Yelled Iruka only for Mizuki to ignore him.
Naruto and Ryu looked at Mizuki curious for the village's hatred for them, "Yeah why is that?"
"You know the story of how the Kyuubi attacked Konoha and how the Yondaime Hokage killed it." Both Naruto and Ryu nodded. "That was all a lie he sealed it into you two making you the reincarnations of the nine-tailed demon! The monster who destroyed the lives of hundreds! You two are an abomination that needs to be cleansed from this world!" Mizuki screamed only for him to start choking on his blood as Ryu cut his throat open.
"Sorry I guess I felt like moving up your execution date. I don't care whether or not I'm a monster to those people cause if anybody is a monster it's those villagers who believe in starving and harming innocent children." Ryu said in an even tone before he heard a scream coming from where Aki and Nova were fighting the Hyperdoll.
"It looks like she felt Mizuki's death." Naruto said filing away Mizuki's words to contemplate later as they ran to where the girls had been fighting.
Making it to where the girls were, they came upon the sight of Nova and Aki, who had evolved into a Kitsune, they were both sporting some injuries while the Hyperdoll looked like she was on her last legs.
"Which one of you killed my Tamer?" The Hyperdoll asked in anger.
Ryu stepped forward, "I did, he was going to die anyway as a traitor to the village."
The Hyperdoll ran at Ryu and with the last of her strength she threw a Mach Punch only for Ryu to disappear from sight and to reappear behind her chopping the back of her neck causing her to fall unconscious.
"I glad your alright Nova it must have been some fight facing off in a battle where you were at a type disadvantage." Ryu said helping the BunnyGirl and held her bridal style.
Nova nodded her head exhausted, "If Aki hadn't evolved we probably wouldn't have made it out alive." She said before falling asleep in his arms and Aki falling asleep with Naruto carrying her piggy-back style.
"Well it has been a long night for you guys so how about you go home and get some sleep. I'll go report to Hokage-sama what happened." Iruka said picking up the scroll of sealing from Mizuki's dead body.
"I like the idea, but I get the feeling that jiji is going to want to talk to us." Naruto said with Ryu nodding.
Iruka nodded as he grabbed their shoulders as he disappeared in a swirl of leaves and appeared in the Hokage Tower.
In a swirl of leaves they appeared in front of Hiruzen sitting behind his desk smoking on his pipe as he looked at them. Naruto and Ryu laid Nova and Aki down on a couch before turning to the hokage.
Before Iruka could say anything Hiruzen raised his hand stopping him, "I saw what happened tonight and you can give me a written report about it tomorrow Iruka-san, but why don't you head to the hospital and get healed up." The hokage said as he grabbed the forbidden scroll from Iruka.
"I will Hokage-sama." He said before looking at Naruto and Ryu. "you guys did great out there, you've made me proud to call you Konoha shinobi." Iruka said as he left in a swirl of leaves to the hospital.
"So jiji, you were planning to tell us about the Kyuubi tomorrow until Mizuki ruined it weren't you." Naruto stated as the third hokage nodded.
"Yes, I planned on telling you two when you were ready, and I believed that was when you graduated." Hiruzen said as Ryu nodded his head at the reasoning.
"I understand your reasoning and I can't hold it against you for that reason but is there anything else your hiding from us…like our parentage." Ryu said.
Hiruzen sighed, "Yes I know who your parents are, but I can't tell you until you become Chunin. I'm sorry, but both your parents had many enemies and until I deem you strong enough to handle yourselves I can't tell you." He said.
Naruto and Ryu nodded their heads, "I guess your right, we need to be strong enough where we can handle ourselves if someone comes to assassinate us just because of our parentage." Naruto said with Hiruzen nodding before looking at his desk and anime cried when he saw paperwork.
Naruto and Ryu had a wtf look, 'When the hell did that get there.' They both thought.
"Just when it looks like I'm done and defeated the evil that is paperwork 10 more stacks take its place." Hiruzen said as he got started on it.
"You know there is a much faster way to finish that paper- "Ryu couldn't finish as he jumped back, startled as the hokage was in front of him in less than a millisecond.
"You know how to defeat the bane to all kages?! Tell me my boy and I'll give you anything within reason." Hiruzen said in a tone that oozed desperation.
"Well me and Nova are in need of a shiny sto-." Ryu couldn't finish as he looked at his hand and found the evolution stone there as he looked at Hiruzen giving him an expecting look.
"Well the way to defeat paperwork is to use shadow clones, I mean you learn what they did after they dispel. This allows you to relax." Ryu said as the third hokage looked at him before he started to bang his head on his desk.
"Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. So that's how you did it Minato, you bastard." He said before he looked back at the boys, who were looking at him with a sweat drop. "Thank you, Ryu, now why don't you head home, after all you get your starters and find out your team placements tomorrow."
Naruto nodded as he yawned, "Yeah, see you later jiji." He said picking up Aki and jumped out the window.
"Like Naruto said, later old man." Ryu said putting the shiny stone in his pocket before picking up Nova and left jumping out the window.
