Chapter 3

The next morning at 10 Naruto walked into the training ground once again reading a scroll this one about medical jutsu. He blinked when Sakura screamed "YOU'RE LATE BAKA!"

Naruto lowering his scroll blinked spotting her with make-up on and no weapons pouch. Shaking his head he said "Actually as long as Sensei hasn't arrived yet I'm early."

Sakura was about to say something when Kakashi arrived in a poof of smoke. She screamed "YOU'RE LATE!"

Kakashi eye smiled and said "You see a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long away around."

Sakura screamed that he was liar, while Naruto nodded and said "Understandable a black cat crossing your path is bad luck."

Kakashi eye smiled at Naruto and turned to Sasuke who just grunted. Kakashi then explained the test and watched as Sakura and Sasuke vanished. He looking at Naruto asked "Why didn't you hide like the others?"

Naruto sitting down on the ground said "Because I know that this test is about teamwork. I also know that neither one of them would listen to a word I say or work with me. So I'm gonna let them have a go at you before I try to talk some sense into them."

Kakashi blinked and said "Okay." On the inside he was thinking "Hokage-sama said he had been expanding his horizons, but to figure out the test without lifting a finger. Insane."

He then pulled out his book and waited for someone to attack. He didn't have to wait long, as Sasuke attacked him with a pretty good effort, but ended up buried up to his neck anyway. He then trapped Sakura in a very weak genjutsu and sweat dropped when the girl fainted on the spot. He then watched as Naruto rescued Sasuke and tried to tell the boy about the true meaning of the test, but Sasuke just brushed him off. He sighed when the same thing happened with Sakura. He walking towards Naruto said "Those two are so lucky that I'm being ordered to pass this group."

Naruto hearing this quirked and eyebrow and asked "Ordered by who?"

Kakashi sighing said "The Council and Hokage-sama."

Naruto scratching his head said "The council has no control over you unless they're holding something like that book you're reading hostage. The Old Man most likely wants to see how strong I've gotten in a week, and trusts you with me."

Kakashi nodding said "Exactly, plus I requested you and Sasuke and didn't really care who the third member was."

Naruto nodding said "Well I guess I'd better give it a go then."

Kakashi nodded. Naruto standing up said "I hope you're ready sensei as my clones hate this." Naruto lifting his hands up said "Genjutsu; Eye of Darkness!"

Kakashi's eyes widened finding himself in a dark abyss. He feeling something hit his body quickly dispelled the illusion and blinked finding Naruto gone. He looking around was wondering where Naruto was, when he noticed something off. The ground was swirling together. His eyes widened realizing that he was still in a genjutsu. He dispelling this one, blinked as everything was normal, but Naruto was still gone. He deciding to stop playing lifted up his headband to reveal his Sharingan. Naruto in a tree not far from Kakashi spotting this cursed and said "Fuck a Sharingan. Genjutsu are out for now."

He taking a deep breath cried out "Fire Style; Fire Lion Jutsu!"

Kakashi turning gained wide eyes when a large lion made of black flames came barreling at him. He going through handsigns said "Water Style; Water Bullet Jutsu!"

From the river a huge bullet of water hit the lion and steam filled the air. Naruto spotting the steam curled his middle finger up and cried out "Absolute Lightning Style; Convulsive Currents Jutsu!"

Kakashi with wide eyes jumped back out of the steam just as what looked like black and red lightning ripped through the steam. Naruto knowing that Kakashi was out of the steam dashed towards the water. He getting there blinked when Kakashi appeared in front of him. He noticed that Kakashi's Sharingan was glued to his hands. Smirking he curled his pinky finger up and said "Black Water Style; Water Hydra Jutsu!"

Kakashi's eyes widened when a huge black 7 headed dragon rose out of the river and came flying at him. He replacing himself with a log winced when the log was not only ripped to pieces but was dragged under. He looking at Naruto who was looking at him said "That's three affinities and Three A-rank jutsu."

Naruto dashing toward Kakashi channeled wind chakra into his hand. He blasting it forward said "Howling Wind Style; Fist of the Angry Wind God Jutsu!"

Kakashi nearly shit a brick when a huge glowing fist of wind came towards him. He using his earth affinity sunk underground and shivered hearing the fist sail over his position. Naruto spotting Kakashi in the ground jumped into the air and drew his fist back he cried out "Particle Earth Style; Mold Breaker Jutsu!"

He then punched the ground and Kakashi watched as the ground literally split open and could feel it shaking below him. He jumping out of the ground ran towards Naruto intent on making Naruto fight with his hands. Naruto seeing this dashed toward Kakashi and met the man head on. Kakashi was shocked that his Sharingan was unable to predict Naruto's moves and he was relying on his skills alone to dodge and counter Naruto's attacks. Naruto swinging at Kakashi was kicked back. This is what he had wanted as he coiled up on his legs and bounced forward while saying "Taijutsu; Lion's Strike!"

Kakashi dodging felt the surge of wind that attack had created. Naruto landing on his hands flipped over and opened his mouth wide. He building up fire chakra in his mouth screamed out "Fire Style; Fire Dragon's Roar Jutsu!"

Kakashi gained wide eyes hearing this and quickly replaced himself with a log. He was glad he did because where he had been standing was a pyre of black flames. Naruto landing on his feet put his hands together with his two pointer fingers pointing to the sky. He smirking said "Get ready sensei this is my first attempt at a combat seal."

He then pushed chakra into his hands and said "Fuinjutsu; 9 Locks of Pain!"

Kakashi gained wide eyes spotting the center of his chest, his hands, his shoulders, his knees and his feet start glowing with seals. He was then forced to the ground in pain as the seals starting searing his skin. Kakashi closing one of his eyes struggled to reach his kunai pouch. Reaching it he pulled out a Kunai and tossed it at Naruto. Naruto spotting this stopped pushing chakra into the seal and dodged the Kunai. Kakashi quickly removed the seals from his body and looked at Naruto. Naruto spotting Kakashi clear of his seals said "Alright Sensei. Try this on for size."

He lifting up his hands and closing his eyes said "Iron Sand and Gold Sand combination: 5 Spears of Destiny Jutsu!"

Kakashi felt his mouth drop open spotting a mixture of Iron Sand and Gold Sand fusing into 5 large shining spears. He blinked as they were just floating there. Naruto opening his eyes said "Okay here we go." He then launched the surprisingly fast spears at Kakashi who dodged them, but was shocked when the spears tried to attack him from behind. He now dodging the spears that were obviously being controlled by Naruto was both impressed by Naruto's show of skill and excited at the thought of having such a powerful student. His eyes then noticed that one of Naruto's eyes had closed and he seemed to be panting. Kakashi quickly came to the conclusion that this jutsu must have used a lot of Naruto's chakra. He dodging two spears dashed toward Naruto and hit the boy in the chest. Naruto flying backwards rolled on the ground and flipped to an upright position. Naruto spotting his spears returning to sand panted and said "That was hard."

He standing up was going for Oathkeeper when the timer rang. Naruto hearing this sighed in relief, and noticed that Kakashi had done the same. Kakashi walking over to Naruto and putting his headband down said "Test is over follow me to the stumps."

Naruto nodding followed Kakashi and blinked finding a fuming Sakura tied to a stump and a brooding Sasuke beside her tied to another stump. Kakashi motioning for him to take a seat in front of the stump watched as Naruto sat down in front of the stump. He coughing said "Now I'm pretty sure the two of you heard what I said before my battle with Naruto, but in case you didn't. I am being forced to pass this team, because if it were up to me I'd take Naruto as my apprentice and have you to removed from the ninja program."

He looking at Sakura said "You Sakura are plain out pathetic being defeated by very simple genjutsu you should easily be able to break out of."

He ignoring the scowl appearing on her face said "You Sasuke are good I will give that to you, but you're too arrogant and think that your last name makes you undefeatable."

Naruto nodded to this and Sasuke huffed. Kakashi turning to Naruto said "You Naruto have the potential to be a legend and you didn't even use that sword of yours. I personally am very impressed with your skills in the five elements, and your new usage of genjutsu."

Naruto was beaming at this. Kakashi then said "I only have one question?"

Naruto said "Ask it?"

Kakashi asked "I've never heard of any of those jutsu, so my question is did you create all of them?"

Naruto smiling even though they couldn't tell nodded and said "Yes Kakashi-sensei I created each and everyone of the jutsu I used. The spears was only a theory. My taijutsu style I also made."

Kakashi hearing this shook his head and asked "How many jutsu have your created?"

Naruto beaming said "I've created 16 genjutsu including the one on my bandana and mask. 24 Ninjutsu, including the ones I used today. 4 taijutsu styles, two working well with my genjutsu, two being wild. Two Kenjutsu styles, one going along with either of my genjutsu based taijutsu, the other working with my wild style. 7 Fuinjutsu, including the ones on my gloves and the one that had been on you. 1 medical jutsu, I'm still reading about the human anatomy and other things, plus I really haven't had the time."

Kakashi's jaw was scraping the ground, and he wasn't alone. Sakura was gaping and Sasuke was doing a perfect imitation of a fish. Sarutobi with the council and other jonin had let his pipe hit the ground hearing this. The civilian council were thinking of ways to make Naruto teach Sasuke his jutsu. The Shinobi council were looking at Naruto like he had said the Kyuubi was a female and friendly. Well except for Tsume Inuzuka who was looking at Naruto with hearts for eyes. Asuma Sarutobi was standing there, his cigarette long forgotten on the ground. Kurenai Yuhi was excited to hear that Naruto had created 16 genjutsu in a week. Kakashi shaking his head said "You've been busy in the week before team placements."

Naruto nodding said "Yeah the traitor Mizuki opened my eyes. I can't be a goof anymore. I needed to be a serious shinobi ready to kill or be killed at a moments notice."

Kakashi hearing this could only nod and respect Naruto for realizing this. He cutting Sakura and Sasuke loose said "Well then I have to report to Hokage-sama about this. You three go home and get some rest. Meet here tomorrow at 8 in the morning for our first mission."

Naruto smiling said "Will do Sensei."

He then got up and left, pulling out his scroll and writing down the flaws in his jutsu and his performance today. Sakura shaking her head turned to Sasuke and asked "Sasuke-kun want to go out to celebrate becoming genin?"

Sasuke huffing said "No."

He then got up and walked away. Sakura deflated hearing this. She then shaking her head said "I know I'll go talk to Ino-bunta. Her team probably failed and she's most likely crying about it." She then took off running towards the Yamanaka Flower Shop.

Naruto realizing that he was running low on Ink decided to stop by the Higarashi Shinobi Supply store. He walking in smiled at Rusty and said "Hello Rusty."

Rusty laughing said "Naruto little man."

Naruto walking over to the ink picked a bottle up and picked up a few scrolls also. He walking to the counter placed them down and said "I'll also take some ninja wire and a few bow staffs."

Rusty nodding handed Naruto the stuff and said "That'll be 1000 ryo."

Naruto smiling put the money down and said "Thanks Rusty. See you later."

He then walked out of the shop heading to his home to drop the stuff he had just got off and head to the ramen stand for some ramen. Rusty was about to head to the backroom when a panting Ten-Ten came into the shop and asked "Has Naruto been here yet?"

Rusty blinking said "You just missed him."

Ten-Ten hearing this groaned and said "Damn it Lee."

Rusty now curious asked "Why did you want to talk to Naruto?"

Ten-Ten closing the shop and turning the sign to say closed walked over to her dad and said "Dad me and my team decided to watch the other genin in their test. The others weren't that interesting, but when we came to see Naruto's we got to see what I'm sure is the best the younger genin have to offer. I mean dad Naruto-kun had his sensei on his toes, and was firing powerful jutsu like they were party favors. He even made these huge spears out of two types of sand and made his sensei dodge them. He was about to use his sword when the timer rung, but dad I'm telling you I think if he had used his sword, Naruto-kun would be a jonin right now."

Rusty hearing this laughed and said "Ten-Ten it's okay if you have a crush on him. You don't have to exaggerate his battle."

Ten-Ten groaning said "Dad I like Neji, and I'm not exaggerating."

Rusty smiling said "Sure you aren't Ten-Ten."

He then went to the backroom laughing. Ten-Ten groaning said "I like Neji damn it."
