Moving On

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Chapter 2

Naruto had a smirk on his face and that wasn't the only thing, he was currently wearing a forehead protector with the symbol of Konoha on it.

Naruto had passed the genin exams.

At least the first part of it, some of Suzume's hints for the exam for being a good student by attending all the after school classes helped with figuring out the true exam.

He was currently on his way to Mebuki's place before going to the Uchiha clan to celebrate. Knocking on the door Mebuki answered.

"Naruto-kun, what are you doing here?" She asked.

"I passed my exams" Naruto said as the headband shined in the light.

Mebuki noticing the headband smiled at Naruto. "I'm glad you passed"

"Thanks Mebuki-chan" Naruto said as she let him inside.

"Do you want something to drink?" Mebuki asked.

"I'm good" Naruto said as he smiled at her.

Naruto noticed a pink tint on her face, Naruto knew that Mebuki starting to have a crush on him and now that he was a ninja (at least until he passes the second test) he was considered and seen as an adult.

Old enough to kill, old enough to drink, smoke and fuck.

This was a simple saying that pretty much summed it up. If he was old enough to kill his enemies, then he is old enough to enjoy the pleasures of life before or in case he dies.

Mebuki wasn't the first person who blushed, he had visited Teuchi and Ayame who gave him one free bowl of ramen and he caused Ayame to blush. When he got his headband he caused Suzume to blush.

Naruto was the one who went to the after lessons the most, Sasuke and Shino had some clan events and the like which resulted with only him being present for the after class lessons. Out of the three students, Naruto was the one who probably knew Suzume the most.

Suzume opened up to her student and told him about herself. Naruto also knew that the other widows were starting to see him more than a friend that also lost someone they care about.

However at this stage it was just a small crush depending on the person. Naruto knew that he might have a growing harem on his hands.

He wasn't going to go out of his way to get a harem, but he also isn't going to go out of his way to prevent one either.

There were a few ways to legally have a harem in a ninja village. One way is to have a bloodline and be the last of your clan. Naruto was indeed the last of his clan at least inside Konoha but he didn't exactly have a bloodline.

There were over ways to get a harem but most of them required string pulling. While Naruto didn't have a Kekkai Genkai (Bloodline Limit) but he had something close to one.

During the days he was reading the Uzumaki scroll and was currently learning the techniques first as they were his clan. The Adamantine Sealing Chains used a special chakra, Naruto didn't know what chakra this was but he managed to make a small chain come out of his palm.

It wasn't anything great but he did it. He had the special chakra of the Uzumaki clan.

Naruto actually didn't know if it counted as a bloodline but he was fairly sure it wasn't but they don't need to know that. The scroll only had techniques and seals in it anyway, it had no written information of the chains being a bloodline or not.

Naruto had access to the Senju library and all its contents even the Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei (Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation). That jutsu made him think back to when he murdered his family in cold blood.

Did he regret not telling them about their neglect and watch them suffer as they died that night? Not really, they can wonder in the afterlife for all he cares.

Maybe if he ever talks to them somehow he might tell them why and maybe he could rub it in their faces. He could use the Edo Tensei to summon them back to the living and that away their will.

But in order to do that he needed the bodies or remains, something he doesn't have as all the bodies were destroyed in the explosion. Snapping out of his thoughts he looked over to Mebuki who walked into the room and offered him a slice of cake.

Naruto took the slice with a small smile. He had some time before the party at the Uchiha compound so he could spend time with Mebuki. Naruto made it a point to visit each of them almost every day and they were happy to see him, Hanabi was glad that her big brother came back to play as well.

He stayed with Mebuki for quite some time and soon it was time for him to leave. He stood up as Mebuki watched him get up next to her.

"I had fun Mebuki-chan" Naruto said turning to face her. "I would like to do this again sometime"

Mebuki smiled at the blonde. "I would like that" She said as Naruto left closing the door behind him.

After closing the door Naruto started to walk towards the compound while thinking of the team meeting tomorrow.

Tomorrow would be the day they will meet their jonin sensei. The teacher that would guide them to become better shinobi, Naruto was placed in a team with his friend/rival/brother Sasuke and Shino.

He was surprised he wasn't placed on a four man team with Kiba but apparently they were on a three man team. Kiba was put on a team with a kid called Sai who was a former member of ROOT and with a girl named Shiho.

There were others but Naruto didn't pay much attention to be honest. Maybe during the chunin exams he would learn about them if they make it that far.

"I wonder if our sensei Asuma or Kurenai" Naruto thought as he turned a corner smiling at a few civilians who smiled back.

Asuma and Kurenai were jonin level ninjas and were the two jonin that Naruto knew would take a team. Yugao was a member of ANBU so unless she went back to jonin then she wouldn't be taking a team.

Hayate, Ibiki and Anko were Tokubetsu jonin and had their own agendas, Mikoto and a few others were retired and so on. Naruto got to the compound and they celebrated on passing the first exam, it was just the three of them for this party.

Naruto, Sasuke and Shino as they were put on the same team, team 8. They decided to tell them their teams the same day and they will meet their sensei tomorrow, a lot has changed in the academy after the 'attack' yet still the same in a way.

As Sasuke and Shino talked as Naruto listened in as his eyes caught glimpse of Mikoto walking down a hall, Naruto smiled as he waved when she saw him causing her to wave back. Mikoto continued walking down the hall with Naruto's eyes glued onto her ass before she turned and disappeared from view.

Luckily Sasuke and Shino didn't notice, that would be awkward and he already explained himself when it came to looking.

"So how are we going to get past the second exam?" Sasuke asked as the 'last' Uzumaki and the Aburame took on thoughtful expressions.

"Hmm, well it depends on who our sensei is" Naruto said.

"I agree it could be different each time" Shino added.

"But I bet it has something to do with teamwork" Naruto said again.

"Then again there are always teams of three" The Uchiha said.

"How about we advise a combat plan?" Shino asked the two who looked at each other and nodded.

They spent some time there planning before Naruto and Shino walked home. Shino was the next person to leave as they by the compound.

"See ya Shino" Naruto said as Shino nodded.

"Stay safe Naruto-san" Shino said emotionlessly before walking into the compound.

Naruto eventually entered the Senju compound with a smile as Shizune welcomed him. "Ah Naruto-kun you passed" She said with a happy tone noticing his headband.

Tsunade who was sitting at a table smiled as she poured sake. "I guess this calls for a celebration" She said as she used an excuse to drink sake causing the two to sweat drop.

"Where were you Naruto-kun?" Shizune asked.

"I was out with friends" He simply replied as Shizune smiled.

They turned to see Tsunade pour a small amount of sake from a large bottle into a tiny glass before picking up the bottle and drinking it.

"Doesn't that defeat the purpose of have a glass?" Both Naruto and Shizune thought. Tsunade then pushed the glass towards Naruto.

"Have a drink" She said.

Naruto glanced at Shizune who look conflicted. She didn't want Naruto drinking sake despite doing so in the past except she didn't know that.

"It's fine Shizune" Tsunade said still sober, she knew how to hold her liquor. "With his genes he has a harder time to get drunk"

It was true his Uzumaki genes practically gave him a strong immune system, alcohol tolerance, large chakra reserves, a strong life force, and special chakra to use the Kongo Fusa and the ability to heal through biting.

His clan was overpowered.

He could still get drunk but it was much harder for him to do, Tsunade on the other hand also had tolerance to alcohol but when she did get drunk she just used a jutsu that makes her sober.

Shizune gave Tsunade a look as Naruto drank the glass of sake, he already drunk it before but now he could legally drink it.

"Your first taste of sake" Tsunade said with a smile. "How did it taste?"

"It tasted…I can't really describe it" He said. "But it was actually better than I thought it would be" It wasn't a lie as it was his first legal sake as a ninja.

"I still can't believe you Tsunade-sama" Shizune said before going on the scold her about making Naruto drink sake.

Naruto sat down as Tsunade filled it back up again. "T-Tsunade-sama" Shizune sputtered. "Surely you're not thinking about making him drink more?"

"Shizune, you worry too much" Tsunade said as Naruto drank the sake.

"Is this a test for tomorrow?" Naruto thought as Tsunade poured one last cup before keeping the rest of the bottle for herself.

Naruto drank the last glass. "What was that for?" Naruto questioned.

Tsunade said nothing but smile for a moment. "I wanted to see if my godson could be a reliable drinking partner"

"Huh" Both Shizune and Naruto did not expect this.

Tsunade then held up the bottle. "This sake is one of the rarest and most powerful sake to date" Holding the large sake bottle for them to see. "Naruto as you drank the other two glasses did you enjoy it more and more?"

"Actually I did" Naruto said. "The first time was a bit weird as it was my 'first' sake and it tasted good but the other two were way better than the last"

"Well of course you should like it as it is from the slug summons" Tsunade said with a smirk as Naruto's and Shizune's eyes widened.

"Wait, so this is slug sake?" Naruto asked.

"Not quite" Tsunade said. "While it is from the slug summons it is also from the Uzumaki clan" This caused the two to widen their eyes even more.

"It's a part of our clan?"

Tsunade nodded. "However it was actually created by my grandmother Mito" She said. "Mito-baasan had signed the Slug summoning contract and eventually made this sake"

Tsunade then laughed. "Only a few people are able to survive the first sip. Most people would get overwhelmed by it"

"Then how did I stand afterwards?" Naruto asked.

Tsunade shrugged. "Maybe because of your Uzumaki genes or your just really good at holding your liquor" Tsunade walked over to Naruto. "If you want when you sign the slug contract you can learn how to make this with Katsuyu"

Naruto glanced at the sake, it wasn't clan sake but in fact created by a clan member given to Tsunade and given to him. It was apparently really strong but he and Tsunade seemed to withstand the effects of the sake.

It probably was his genes, he never gotten drunk before but he always stopped after a while. Maybe he had built up some alcohol tolerance due to the sake he drank in the past.

Well whatever the reason he didn't care much, he then thought of the summons. He probably be signing the contract after the true test, he truly wanted to sign the contract with the slugs and he met Katsuyu once and she was probably one of the nicest boss summons he would meet.

He had seen Gamabunta talk with Jiraiya a few times and the only one the toad had any respect for was Minato, not even Naruko gotten any respect from the toad.

He was a little worried about the toads, after the death of his family the toads could go to him and ask him to sign the contract with them if they thought he was the child of prophecy, which he isn't and never will be. He didn't want to sign their contract due to some old toad or because his family signed it, he was signing the slug contract and that was final.

"So Katsuyu and your grandmother made this sake"

"Yep, however I'm not good at making it with her like Mito-baasan" Tsunade said. "It however also has a good healing property if you're injured but if you do have an injury it will make you drunk much faster"

"That's…that's some powerful sake" Shizune said.

"Healing sake?" Naruto wondered how that was possible. Then again Katsuyu could heal many people and was probably the one of the best healers in the world.

Sake created with healing properties and could get people drunk easily compared to other sake. This was something he wanted to learn how to make and judging by Tsunade's words, she did make the sake and seemed to only make it for special occasions.

"Did you make this one Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked the Godaime Hokage.

"I did" She replied. "I don't make it often and the ones that I do hold nothing compared to Baa-san's sake"

"How long was the last time you made this?"

"A long time ago" Tsunade said. "Even though it isn't like Mito's it can still get people drunk pretty easily"

That explained it. The sake wasn't at its full potential but it still was pretty powerful, it took a lot of sake to get a Uzumaki drunk due to their genes and it seemed and Naruto was pretty sure he would get wasted if he drunk Mito's sake.

"Have you learnt any more from your clan scrolls?" Tsunade asked. "I know we haven't talked as much since I became Hokage and I'm sorry for that"

Naruto shook his head. "Its fine and I have managed to use the Adamantine Sealing Chains, but I can only make a small one from my palm"

"At least you're making progress" Shizune said with a smile. "Are you looking forward to tomorrow?"

"I am" He replied. "I hope our sensei is prepared for us"

Tsunade smirked at his words. "So he knows huh" She thought before the smirk became a smile. "I do hope you pass it Naruto-chan"

"Well you better get some rest" Tsunade said. "You don't want to be late" Naruto nodded and walked to bed.

Tsunade pulled out a scroll when Naruto left. "Tsunade-sama, what's with the scroll?" Shizune asked the sannin.

"This scroll contains something Naruto asked me earlier" She said before turning her gaze to Shizune. "I told him we will do it together but I went ahead and did it without him knowing and I'm hoping to surprise him after he passes"

"I'll bet he will be happy with that then" Shizune said.

The slug princess nodded. "By the way where is Tonton?" She said as she noticed the little pig wasn't with her.

Shizune smiled. "She is sleeping on Naruto's bed"

Naruto entered his room and saw a little pink pig sleeping on his bed. This was Tonton, Tsunade's ninga pig and also Shizune's as Shizune seemed to take care of the piglet more. Tonton was wearing a dark red jacket and a pearl collar.

Naruto smiled at the sleeping pig. "Hey Tonton" He said after he got dressed. The little pink pig slowly stirred and opened her eyes and spotted Naruto before squealing and jumping into his arms.

"Hey Tonton" He said patting the pig. "How have you been?" The pig oinked as he sat her down.

Naruto and Tonton had a bond similar to that of the Inuzuka and their dogs. Tonton liked Naruto as she liked Shizune and Tsunade, Tonton was usually in Shizune's care most of the time and when she wasn't she was with Tsunade or Naruto.

Words couldn't describe the bond between the three and the pig but with Tsunade, Shizune, Naruto and Tonton they made up a little family a part of Naruto's bigger family he had now. Since Tonton was a ninja pig or Ninton, she was able to go on missions as a tracker.

"I'm going to go to bed Tonton, do you want to stay here?" He asked as she oinked before sitting in a little bed similar to ones dogs had. "Goodnight Tonton" Tonton oinked as Naruto went to sleep for the next day.

The next day Naruto got dressed and headed down stairs with Tonton as she moved faster than the blonde. Naruto smiled at the energetic pig as they entered the kitchen.

Naruto got Tonton her food first before making his own. He had no idea if Shizune and Tsunade were gone or not so he decided to ask Tonton.

"Hey Tonton is Tsunade and Shizune still here?" He asked.

Tonton looked at him and started to sniff the ground. "Oink oink" She said as she pointed to the stairs.

"Ah" He said and looked at the clock. "I guess I was excited for today I woke up even earlier than normal"

"Oink" Tonton said as Naruto picked her up holding her like Shizune did.

"What's that? Their waking up now"

"Oink, oink"

"I better start on theirs now don't I?"

"Oink, oink"

Naruto laughed as he placed the pig down and started making their breakfast. Naruto and Tonton turned their heads to the stairs as they heard footsteps coming down it.

"Hmm something smells good" Tsunade said rubbing the sleep out of her eyes before yawning with Shizune right behind her.

"Oh Naruto-kun your up" Shizune said looking at Naruto sitting down holding Tonton in his arms.

"Oink oink"

"Good morning" Naruto said.

"You're up early" Tsunade said.

"Didn't you tell me to get some rest?" Naruto asked. "So I got some rest"

Tsunade laughed before sitting down at the table. "I guess I did" Her eyes spotted the food. "You made this?"

Naruto nodded. "I did"

Shizune sat down and at the table as well and both Tsunade and Shizune ate their own meals as Naruto patted Tonton.

Naruto got up after handing Tonton to Shizune. "See you later"

Tonton squealed as Shizune waved to him. "Come home early after you meet your sensei Naruto" Tsunade said.

"Okay" Naruto said as he left the room wearing the same outfit he had on at the party. It may not be considered as ninja clothing but it didn't matter to him, genin usually wore anything and when they became chunin their outfits usually when to the flak jacket with black or dark blue clothing.

Naruto was walking to the academy where they would meet their sensei and he was thinking who it would be. Whoever their sensei was they would be called team whatever their name was like the past team seven being called team Minato.

He personally hoped his sensei was someone who was a part of his family. Walking into the room he sat down at a desk and waited for a few others.

Soon the room was packed and Suzume spoke to the class. "When I call your teams out go to the location I tell you"

Team eight waited until they were called up and they had to go to training ground eight. Naruto, Sasuke and Shino headed over to the training ground.

"So our sensei is here?" Sasuke asked.

"He or she should be here" Shino said as Naruto looked around.

"Shino, Sasuke" Naruto whispered to the two. "Do you remember our plan?"

"Of course" Sasuke whispered back.

"It seems we have to search for our sensei" Naruto said.

"I'll send out a few bugs to search" Shino said as a small amount of bugs flew out of his sleeve and went around the training ground.

Sasuke's eyes morphed into the sharingan. "Let's go look for our sensei" Sasuke said as the two nodded.

"My kikaichu have found some chakra" Shino said as the three went into the general direction.

"Where about is it?" Sasuke asked.

"In the trees" Shino replied as Sasuke looked up in the trees.

"Our sensei is hiding in a weak genjutsu" Sasuke said. "Our sensei is on the run"

Shino then used his bugs to block off the path ahead as Naruto held out his palm. "Kongo Fusa (Adamantine Sealing Chains)" Naruto said as a chain shot out from his palm.

"Quickly Naruto to the left" Sasuke told his friend and Naruto caused the chain to go to the left. Teams eight's sensei turned to see the chain heading closer before seeing Sasuke's eyes. "Genjutsu: Sharingan (Illusion Technique: Copy Wheel Eye)" Sasuke said as the team's sensei was caught in an illusion before easily breaking out of it but when their sensei broke out of it the chain was already wrapped around him or her with Shino's Kikaichu surrounding both the sensei and the chain just in case.

"I knew you three would pass that easy test" Their sensei said as they gotten a better look at their sensei.

"Kurenai-chan/Yuhi-san" Naruto and Sasuke said.

Kurenai smiled and Naruto noticed her outfit. Gone were the red pants, sleeveless red shirt with the Konoha flak jacket on it and she was now wearing a red mesh armour blouse with only the right sleeve visible and something that resembles bandages with rose thorn patterns on it.

"You three have shown teamwork in locating me and capturing me" She said.

"So this was another test?" Shino asked.

"Yes, that test was to check if you three could work together" Kurenai said. "You three have passed the test I have set up for you, congratulations you three are now official ninjas"

The three smiled and Naruto smiled seeing as a member of his family was his sensei. "Now that we are official a team we will be beginning missions tomorrow, today we will practice teamwork exercises and formations" Kurenai told the genin.

Naruto held a groan at the missions they would be doing. They would start with D-rank missions were usually odd jobs and chores like babysitting and fence painting, however the reward for D rank missions were between five thousand ryo and fifty thousand ryo.

C-rank mission rewards were between thirty thousand ryo and 100 thousand ryo, B-rank missions were between 150 thousand and 200 thousand ryo, A-rank missions were between fifty thousand ryo and a million ryo, and finally S-rank missions were more than a million ryo.

Life as a ninja was well set with payment like that but D ranking missions were usually given by civilians at the lowest price possible unless they were rich or generous.

Team Eight or Team Kurenai trained in becoming a Tracking and Capturing team which the Sasuke's sharingan, Shino's insects and Naruto's seals, clones and chains. Naruto wondered if he could bring Tonton with her tracking skills.

Kurenai said he could bring Tonton if it was alright with Tsunade and Shizune and of course depending on the mission. Tonton was also pretty strong as he has seen her carrying large boxes full of medical equipment.

Naruto was currently working on producing two chains but so far could only make one. Afterwards he worked on his fuinjutsu, the Uzumaki fuinjutsu just came naturally to him.

Besides from the Uzumaki justu and seals he started on his father's jutsus, they techniques were useful and shouldn't go to waste. He wasn't not going to use them because he hated his father of the fact his father copied another technique to create it.

He would change them to set his own style and he had gotten a few ideas for jutsu that he wanted to make as well.

He brought the jutsu scroll his father made for Naruko with him that held his father's techniques (which wasn't a lot), Jiraiya didn't add any techniques to the scroll and Kushina's jutsu were all the clan jutsus and were still in the Senju compound.

The only techniques written down by Minato were the Hiraishin and its many variations, the Rasengan and the workings and teachings of both techniques. The other techniques Minato learned was from Jiraiya or from the shinobi library which contained jutsu for a ninja and some were off limits depending on your rank.

E-Rank were available for academy students and usually taught in the academy, D-Rank were available for genin, C-rank jutsu were usually for chunin level, B-rank were both chunin and jonin level, A-rank was for both jonin and kage level with S-rank being for highly experienced jonin and kage level shinobi.

Taking the small scroll of a few techniques he pocketed it and went to see how Sasuke and Shino were doing. Naruto was trained first as he was already trained by Kurenai before he became a ninja, after evaluating his skill with genjutsu she went on to Shino and Sasuke.

He could work on his other skills but he decided against it. When training his Taijutsu and Kenjutsu he learnt the basics of handling a sword and using of one and throwing proper punches and kicks as well as learning useful techniques.

Despite being skilled in multiple areas and having a wide selection of jutsu to choose from Naruto knew he wasn't the strongest, they were many people in the village much stronger than him. Naruko thought she was the strongest for being a jinchuriki, the daughter of the Hokage and being trained by the 'strongest' ninja in the village.

Naruto did a quick check of his skill set. His ninjutsu was good along with his funijutsu, his taijutsu was also good but needed more improvement. He needed to practice his kenjutsu more along with his genjutsu and iryo ninjutsu, his iryo ninjutsu would be worked on once he signed the slug contract. He could track but not as good as a member of the Inuzuka clan or Tonton and he couldn't really practice interrogating someone and his poisons were currently limited to lethal and paralytic even though Shizune only taught him paralytic, she would probably freak out if she knew he studied lethal poisons before graduating.

Naruto checked his poison, senbon, shuriken and kunai from his pouch. He needed to go shopping for poison and some medical herbs soon.

Naruto watched as Sasuke trained with Kurenai before she moved on to train with Shino before they were issued a break. Naruto walked over to Sasuke. "Here I got you something"

Sasuke looked to see Naruto hand him some bracelets with kanji on them. "What is this?" He asked his rival/friend.

"Put them on first" Naruto said as Sasuke put them on. "Now put both hands over them and place chakra in them or just touch them with chakra"

Sasuke doing as told placed his hands over the seals on the bracelets and suddenly shuriken came out. Sasuke looked at Naruto who had a proud look on his face. "I call that the Kuchiyose: Raiko Kenka (Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation)" Naruto said.

Sasuke had a deadpanned look. "But it's just a storage seal…"

"It's a special ninja tool summon" Naruto told his friend. "It allows you to seal ninja tools like swords, kunai, shuriken and whatever into the seal and when you summon them the time between taking the ninja tool out and getting into the right stance is greatly reduced"

Sasuke resealed the two shuriken before touching both of them and getting the same two shuriken and quickly getting into the stance. "Your right, the time is greatly reduced" Sasuke said.

"Of course I'm right and besides it suits your style" Naruto said. "I'm planning on making on for Shino but I need to figure out his style first, he doesn't require ninja tools if he uses his insects"

Sasuke smiled. "Thanks for these Naruto"

Naruto smiled back. "No problem brother" When he said this Sasuke remembered them drinking and exchanging sake.

Kurenai who was watching this smiled at how Naruto given Sasuke something that would help Sasuke's fighting style and the fact he was going to give Shino something that will help him as well.

"However that name… seems a little like Minato when he is naming jutsu…" Kurenai thought as she sweat dropped at the name of the so called seal technique.

Naruto wondered about Shino's fighting style and wondered what he should give him. Naruto could give Shino the same sealing bracelets he gave Sasuke as Shino used his bugs in his fighting style. "I have to use something with his kikaichu but what can go with it" Naruto thought.

Naruto lied on the soft grass as he watched the clouds roll by in the sky. Fuinjutsu and insects didn't go well, he could place some seals on the bugs or seal some kikaichu into a storage seal but that wasn't a good idea.

Naruto's eyes widened as he got an idea for a fuinjutsu, since he couldn't write seals on the kikaichu as they die easily but he could give Shino a seal to use. He had to work on the seal he planned to give Shino and he would have to advert his time to making the seal instead of training but it would be worth it as Shino was a part of his family.

As he pulled out his pouch he reached in and pulled out a small notepad, the notepad contained the jutsu Naruto himself created and his own seals. Naruto started writing down the seal for Shino and he looked up to see Sasuke sparring against Kurenai with his new bracelets.

After they fought the two both went to pick up the kunai and shuriken that was thrown and Naruto did check out Kurenai a couple of times before looking towards Shino who was simply looking at some bugs on a tree.

Looking at Shino just gave more ideas for the blonde who wrote them down. Kurenai then told Team Eight to go back home and get ready for missions for tomorrow.

Naruto held a groan as he thought of doing 'missions' despite the decent pay for D-rank missions he didn't like how it was basically chores. He did have a sliver of hope when he thought of the dreaded Tora mission.

A mission where genin had to catch madam Shijimi's cat called Tora or to the genin the demon cat. However the bright side of it was the pay as Shijimi would pay a lot of money for the return of her cat.

Naruto walked to the Yamanaka flower shop planning on getting some herbs and poisonous flowers.

Entering the flower shop he spotted Emiko. Emiko spotted him and waved. "How may I help you today Naruto-kun" She said as Naruto looked at some flowers.

"I'm looking for some herbs that can be used for medic and some poisonous plants" Naruto said as Emiko nodded.

Emiko went through some of the flowers while talking to Naruto. "It's not very often when someone comes looking for those" She said as she picked up some herbs. "I also have to ask what type of poisonous plants you are looking for"

"I'm looking for both lethal and paralytic" Naruto said. "Also some that can cause other side effects"

Emiko nodded with a smile as she placed some of the herbs on the desk to one side before putting on some gloves, it was better to be safe than sorry when dealing with poisonous plants. Emiko put on some more protective gear before picking some poisonous flowers and plants.

She placed the poisonous plants on top of a scroll and sealed them. "You can use chakra?" Naruto asked as Emiko nodded.

"I once went into the academy long ago as my parents were actually ninja but I didn't want to become a ninja" Emiko told the boy. "My parents were understanding and I was able to pursue another career"

"Your parents were ninjas? I'm sorry but you look to noble to enter the academy"

Emiko giggled. "I know I'm still a civilian but my chakra was unlocked" She then turned her gaze to the poisonous flowers. "It helps when dealing with these plants with sealing them"

"Do you know any jutsu then?" Naruto asked.

Emiko shook her head. "No, I don't know any techniques besides from sealing and unsealing storage scrolls and my chakra pool isn't that large due to not becoming a ninja"

Naruto inwardly smiled, this would help when he would help Emiko learn the Yamanaka clan jutsu if she wanted to learn them. He feared that due to being a civilian for so many years unlocking her chakra would prove disastrous to her body but learning she only had it unlocked eased his worries.

"So what are these plants?" Naruto politely asked as Emiko started to tell Naruto about the plants.

"This one is called Aconitum genus or commonly called aconite, wolfsbane and monkshood. It contains a poison called Aconitine also known as devil's helmet. It can disable nerves, lowers blood pressure and can stop the heart. The symptoms are numbness, tingling and cardiac irregularity and you should avoid skin contact" Emiko told the blonde.

"Now this one is Aesculus hippocastanum or horse-chestnut. It can cause nausea, muscle twitches and sometimes paralysis. This one also causes paralysis and is called Solanum dulcamara or commonly known as bittersweet nightshade and can cause fatigue, paralysis, convulsions and…diarrhoea"

"And these ones" Naruto asked pointing to the other plants Emiko picked off the walls from a different room.

"This is Daphne genus that can causes burns to mouth and digestive traits followed by coma, the Excoecaria agallocha or the river poison tree can cause skin irritation and blistering as well as temporary blindness with eye contact" Emiko told Naruto. "Some have more affects than others but all in all they should help you as a ninja"

"Thank you Emiko-chan" Naruto said. "But how can I extract the ones that I want from the others?"

"Sadly I don't know but you live with Hokage-sama right?" She asked as Naruto nodded. "Maybe she can help you with that"

Naruto's eyes widened. "I never thought of that, thanks Emiko-chan" Naurto smiled as he hugged the woman causing her to blush slightly.

Naruto paid for the herbs and plants and headed off to the Senju compound. "I'm home" Naruto said as he entered the house.

Naruto heard a squeal as Tonton ran to him. "Welcome home Naruto" Shizune said.

"Oh Shizune can you help me with something later?" He asked.

"I'll be glad to help you, I have the rest of the day" Shizune said with a smiled as Naruto patted Tonton. "What is it you want help with?"

"Just some poisons" He said. "I have some plants that have can cause some reactions but I want to take them out and use them separately from the plant"

Shizune was about to reply as Tsunade walked in carrying two scrolls. "Congratulations on passing your true genin test" Tsunade said as Naruto smiled.

Tsunade handed him one of the scrolls. "What is this?" Naruto asked as Tsunade smiled holding the larger scroll under her arm.

"Remember what we talked about with the Mask Storage Temple?" Tsunade asked as Naruto nodded with his eyes widening knowing what Tsunade could have done. "Well I went ahead and sealed the whole temple and all its contents into that scroll"

"The whole temple is in this scroll?" He asked as Tsunade just smiled.

"And of course there is this" She said as she unrolled the large scroll to reveal two names, Tsunade and Mito.

"Is this?"

"Yes it is the Slug Summoning Contract" Tsunade said.

"I can sign this?"

"Me and Katsuyu-sama have decided that you can sign the contract" The hokage told him. "Katsuyu-sama is also happy to have you as a summoner"

"How do I sign a contract?" He asked.

"Just sign your name in blood by biting your finger and writing your name down here" The slug princess said while pointing to the names.

Naruto bit his thumb and wrote his name down on the contract as well as putting his fingerprints in blood on the scroll. "Is that it?" Naruto asked.

"That is that" Tsunade said. "We will go to a training ground and you will summon Katsuyu-sama there"

Naruto nodded as they headed off to a random training ground. "Okay Naruto here are the hand seals for the summoning jutsu" Tsunade said showing him the seals slowly.

"Boar dog bird monkey ram" Naruto said as he finished the hand seals. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)"

A large puff of smoke covered the area and when the smoke disappeared and a large slug appeared. The slug was white with three blue streaks running down on the middle and the sides the body with two optical tentacles have a slight tint of grey and two sensory tentacles on either sides of its mouth. "Tsunade-chan, Naruto-chan I see you have summoned me" Katsuyu said as Naruto nodded. "I'm glad you managed to summon me Naruto-chan"

"I'm glad I was able to summon you Katsuyu-sama" Naruto said.

"I hope you summon me again" Katsuyu then disappeared in smoke returning back to the summon realm.

Naruto turned to Tsunade who had a proud smile. "I'm proud of you" She said. "You well learn more about the slug summon techniques but we will start when you're a little older"

"Can you tell me about them?"

"Katsuyu lives in Shikkotsu Forest and what you summoned wasn't just one slug but in fact a portion of the same entity"

"So there is only one summon?" The Uzumaki asked the Senju.

"All the slugs come from Katsuyu" Tsunade said. "So yes we are summoning one entity"

"She lives in the forest by herself?" Naruto thought. "I'll summon her and talk to her. I bet she'll like to talk with someone"

They re-entered the compound and Shizune was helping him with the poison and antidotes from the herbs and plants. Tsunade also helped when she was there before going off to relax. Naruto was able to create poisons from the poisonous plants and made some antidotes to the poisons as well as Military Ration Pills.

Naruto had poison that caused death, paralysis, burns, blindness, numbness, disabling nerves, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, convulsions etc. It took a long time but with the help of Shizune and the help of Tsuande he managed to create the poisons and antidotes.

He sealed the poisons and antidotes into a storage tag that were labelled poison and antidote, the poisons and antidotes themselves were also labelled. Naruto packed the military ration pills into his pouch along with his senbon, shuriken and kunai.

He then went upstairs after dinner that Shizune cooked and started working on a seal for Shino. He did pull out two black bracelets similar to the ones he gave Sasuke, just because he gave two to Sasuke didn't mean he wasn't going to not use it for himself.

It would be a waste if he didn't use his own creations. He placed the bracelets into the pouch and got the notepad next to the Minato's jutsu scroll. Looking through the notes he started work on the seal.

Eventually Naruto took a break from the seal and placed it in his draw as he went to go have a shower and afterwards fell asleep in bed for the dreaded D-rank missions.

Naruto, Sasuke, Shino and their sensei Kurenai were currently doing a few D-rank missions. The first was fence painting followed by babysitting for a few hours, the jobs went on and on as they did boring missions as Kurenai read a book or did some other things until they finished.

Now they were doing one of the most dangerous missions a genin could take, the Tora mission! Currently the three were searching for the cat with a red ribbon.

Naruto however brought Tonton with them as they searched for the cat, with Naruto's tracking ability he learnt from Tsume and Hana with Tonton's tracking skill they easy found the cat. Shino then used his insects to capture the cat or at least slow it down to a point where Sasuke could capture it in a genjutsu.

Now they were taking the dread cat back to her owner, one Shijimi or better known as the daimyo's wife. "You are the first team to capture Tora this quickly" Kurenai said looking at her genin with pride. "Now let's hand the mission in"

Entering the room madam Shijimi spotted them. "Oh Tora-chan" She yelled as Naruto handed her Tora and she squeezed the cat in her arms. "Thank you for saving my Tora"

Nauto smiled. "It's the least I could do Shijimi-sama" Naruto said bowing.

"What a polite young man" Shijimi said stopping the squeezing for now.

"May I ask what breed Tora is?"

"Oh are you interested in Tora?" Shijimi asked as Naruto nodded. Shijimi then told Naruto all about Tora and her breed before she had to leave. "It was nice to talk to another cat lover" Shijimi said as Naruto nodded and after she left Tonton started hitting Naruto's leg with her hooves.

"Don't worry Tonton" Naruto said picking up the pig. "I like you more than cats" This caused the pig to squeal in happiness.

"Then why did you ask about Tora?" Tsunade said with her hands in front of her.

"I did it so she could send more missions to Konoha" Naruto said.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow. "Explain" She said. "How does talking about a cat bring Konoha more missions?"

"You saw how happy she was when we were talking about Tora correct?" Naruto asked as people in the room nodded including the ANBU. "If Shijimi had someone who liked cats or Tora as much as she did then she would want to come to Konoha and talk about her precious Tora"

"It will then develop into a friendship between Madam Shijimi and whoever liked Tora or cats as much as her, in this case is me" Naruto explained. "Eventually

"So you're saying we should get all the genin to like the cat while she is here?" Shizune asked as Naruto shook his head.

"No, only one" Naruto said. "If more people started showing interest in cats or more importantly Tora she would suspect something. If she became friends with another cat lover which she thinks I am then she would want to spend time with the other cat lover which will led to more escort missions, higher pay for the Tora missions and so on"

"So we are creating a friendship between you and the daimyo's wife to get Konoha more missions, pay for requests such as capture Tora and escorting the daimyo and his wife?" Tsunade asked looking at Naruto who nodded.

Suddenly Tsunade smiled. "That's pretty clever" She said as a purple haired ANBU and the black haired ANBU both nodded despite not being seen by the genin. "And since your team caught Tora the fastest then that means you will have priority for the Tora mission to 'strengthen' bonds with madam Shijimi" She said as Naruto nodded.

They were using the daimyo's wife but it was out of necessity, the leaf despite having a moments weakness needed to get back to where it was and even if it met using Madam Shijimi then they would have to.

Everyone in the room could tell by both of their tones that they didn't want to use the daimyo's wife but they had to.

The teams finished their missions for the day and went back to their respective homes where they would be they would rest before doing another set of D-rank missions or team training. At least the pay is decent, after enough D-rank missions that would eventually go on C-rank missions and go through their first kill except for Naruto.

Nothing would go on their first C-rank right?

Cho and Emiko look as they look in the anime. Emiko only unlocked her chakra and nothing else if you are wondering. Yes I am not changing what Cho looks like. There are some that characters that I am thinking of putting into the harem and a few relationships for other characters.

Want a harem list? Here you go!

Harem

Yoshino Nara

Mebuki Haruno

Tsume Inuzuka

Cho Akimichi (Choji's Mother)

Emiko Yamanaka (Ino's Mother)

Hikari Hyuga (Hanabi's Mother)

Mikoto Uchiha

Suzume

Ayame

Shizune

Tsunade

Anko

Hana

Potential Harem Members

Kurenai

Yugao

Hanabi (Older)

Madam Shijimi

Mei Terumi

Tsunami

? (A mystery woman)

I'm trying to keep the harem to at least older women. Kurenai and Yugao are a bit mixed as I could keep them with Asuma and Hayate and keep the two alive or I could kill them off and make them join Naruto's harem. Tsunade's another problem but eh what the hell right.

If I ever consider Hanabi it would probably be from the Last or making her a bit older to be closer to Hinata's age but right now it is just a brother sister relationship. Yes I am considering using Madam Shijimi for the harem and I think I'll do it and have another woman like Cho in the harem.

If I add Tsunami to the harem then I will be changing the wave arc a bit and the wave arc won't happen straight away but will follow after a few different C Ranks or another arc like a movie arc or something.

Some people wanted a conversation between Naruto and his parents before they died and I completely understand but I have a plan for that. I also plan for lemons later on in the story.
