Chapter 3


BEEP BEEP BEEP BE-!

'Damn, that's another alarm clock I broke.'

"Well if you put the clock out of arm's reach then you wouldn't smash it."

'… shut up.'

"Now hurry up and get to the academy. The sooner you get a genin team the sooner you can test your abilities against foes far stronger than that weak excuse for chunin Mizuki."

'Yeah yeah.' Naruto droned as he lit a cigarette and headed off to the academy.

"I hope that you get a team that will carry their own weight, your abilities are all close ranged so unless your allies have some skill with long range jutsus or are expert shuriken users."

'Yeah, I've been wondering if you know any long range jutsu or shaman abilities that you could teach me.'

"Ah, I was hoping that you would ask. Do you remember what I told you about the pentagon?"

'The pentagon symbolizes the five elements wood, fire, earth, metal and water that can be channeled with the aid of spirits or by a shaman who has exceptional mana levels.'

"Correct, normally a shaman would choose a the element that his spirit ally was attuned to and stick to it because they would be dedicated to that spirit. But I'm different. I am a spirit of darkness and as such I can teach you how to wield all five elements with my oversoul."

'Wait, I thought that you would have been a medium for darkness, not the five main elements?'

"I am, but as a human you can't. These were limits set in place by Kami. When you use the giant oversoul then I can channel darkness, that is one of my advantage over summons, the other is that I don't tire or run out of mana. So as long as you protect the oversoul our power far outstrips a typical summon and will match a boss summon and if you push yourself possibly a lower tailed demons. But as we are it will be a long time till we are powerfull enough. By yourself and a low level oversoul you have already proven that you have the ability to take down a low level chunin ninja. With me you could maybe battle a jounin for five minutes before being killed. With Kurai-Hane about six.

' Are jounins really that strong?'

" Konoha jounin yes. There is a higher standard here than in most other hidden villages. Against any other maybe seven. Ten if your lucky. Any way once you're an adept user of the pentagram you'll be a borderline jounin. If you master it you'll be special jounin and if you develop the powers available to those who master the pentagram you'll be sannin level. However this will take years at your current pace, over a decade. So get ready for some intense training later. We'll discuss this later though. After you meet up with your team."


"Alright class now that the formalities are out of the way I would like to say that this is the best class that I've ever taught, we may have a future Godaime or Rokudaime Hokage in here." Naruto rolled his eyes as Uchiha Sasuke smirked.

'He'll probably freeze up the first time he feels killing intent.'

"In any case the teams are as follows, under jounin sensei Gekkou Hayate team one is…" Naruto tuned out Iruka as he watched Kurai-Hane flying around the class. "… under jounin sensei Kakashi Hatake Team seven is Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki."

'Hm, Sasuke is rookie of the year so he can hold up in a fight but Haruno's only noted strength is her intellect. Maybe she has a technique that isn't a basic academy jutsu? If not Sasuke and I'll have to look out for her too. Oh well might as well sleep till this 'Kakashi' guy comes.'


(Two and a half hours later)

"DAMN IT NARUTO WAKE UP YOU BUM!!"

"Hm wah?" Naruto woke up to the sight of Sakura ten centimeters away from his face and judging by how angry she looked and the fact that the rooms only other occupant is a devout introvert he guessed that it was her that had woken him from his slumber. Damn, but it meant that he could have a little revenge for being woken up.

"Why Sakura I know your bored and that Sasuke won't make out with you but I'm afraid your not my type."

"W- what the hell do you mean?"

"I mean if you wanted to kiss me you probably should have done it while I was asleep."

Sakura blushed a deep red as the image of her and Naruto kissing came to her mind, it didn't help that her inner persona had somehow created an exact 3D replica of Naruto and had begun to make out with it. 'Damn you dad for leaving that book lying around. Ever since I read it my inner self is a pervert but for some reason it only ever has fantasies about Naruto. WHY NOT SASUKE! WAH!'

Naruto just stared at the girl twitching on the ground in front of him. Turning to his other teammate he said, "I think I broke her." The other boy just shrugged glad that the girl had stopped bugging him. "When sensei comes tell him I'm on the roof." The other boy nodded in confirmation. "See ya."


(Half an hour later)

"Hello, team seven? Sorry I'm late but… what's with her?"

Sasuke was sure that the twitch in his eye would soon become permanent. "She's been like ever since our teammate said that if she wanted a kiss she should do it when he's asleep, said teammate is now currently on the roof."

"Oh, well wake her up and meet me on the roof in five minutes." The silver haired Cyclops promptly shunshined away. Presumably to the roof.

'When I awaken the Sharingan that will be the first technique I copy. Now how do I wake her up?'

(on the roof)

'I wonder when sensei will be here. I'm already on my second cigarette.'

"You know your orders were to wait in the classroom."

'Speak of the devil. No offense intended.'

"None taken."

"Your orders were to arrive at one o'clock."

"Touché." Both shinobi turned at the sound of the door opening seeing a passive Sasuke and a dazed Sakura. When Sakura saw Naruto she blushed heavily but was soon glaring at the blonde as she stomped up to him only to raise her hand as she screamed "PERVERT!!" Swinging her arm in an attempt to slap him she missed as Naruto stepped out of arms reach and tripped over a conveniently placed rock falling only to be caught by the blonde that she had been about to slap.

"Careful there you might hurt yourself." Naruto smirked as Sakura blushed. It was then that she saw the cigarette in the blondes mouth.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SMOKING!!"

"Stress relief." The blonde continued to smirk as he noticed that the girl hadn't made an effort to move from his arms.

"But your only twelve, your killing yourself." Naruto just stared at this declaration.

"We are ninja, every mission could be our last, besides my clan has a healing factor that cancels out all the problems from smoking anyway." At least he wouldn't have to explain himself when they saw the red charka of Kurairei and what harm could a little white lie hurt.

'He must know of the demon's charka then. Does he know the truth or does he really think that it's a Kekkai Genkai?' "Anyway team lets sit down and introduce ourselves." Kakashi watched amused as Sakura sat in Naruto's lap without thinking. 'Hm, according to her file she has a crush on Sasuke. If so why is she sitting in Naruto's lap? Sasuke doesn't look bothered, probably has so many fangirls it doesn't matter to him if one of them changes their mind.' "Okay, lets start. Tell us things you like, hate, your hobbies and your dreams for the future."

"Um, sensei could you go first. We all sort of know each other but we don't know anything about you." Sakura asked, 'Gives me time to figure out my answer.'

"Okay, lets see. Things I like and things I hate, I don't feel like telling you that." All three of the genin just stared at him. "My hobbies, well, I have lots of hobbies." Sakura's jaw had dropped and she had leaned back into Naruto, Sasuke seemed to have developed a twitch in his eye. "And my dreams for the future, I've never really thought about it. Well did that help? Anyway I'll start you off pinky, things you like are Naruto…"

"Huh, what do you mean I…" 'WHAT AM I DOING IN NARUTO-KUN'S LAP! Wait, when did he become Naruto-KUN!? "OH YEAH! NOW TURN AROUND AND START GIVING HIM SOME TONG-"

'I wonder what she's thinking?' Sasuke and Kakashi pondered as they watched the look on Sakura's face change from confused, to perverted and they couldn't tell what her last emotion because she had begun to shake her head and hold her hands over her ears. Naruto couldn't see anything but pink hair that kept hitting his face.

"Well uh, I like, uh well, Naruto? IHATE INO-PIG! My hobbies are studying and I don't have any dreams except to become a strong shinoi."

'Well I thought she'd say that she dreamed of Sasuke.' The two male teens thought.

'Hm, she seems confused. Well we'll see how she turns out.' "Dark, short and brooding your up."

Sasuke scowled but you couldn't see it behind his hands. "I don't like anthing and I hate a lot of things, most of all my fangirls. My hobby is training and my dream, no my ambition, is to revive my clan and kill a certain man."

'Predictable.' "Pinky's boyfriend, your up."

"Ok, well I like to just relax, I hate people who judge others without knowing them, my hobby is to smoke and occasionally drink. My dream is to find out the truth and to master my arts."

'Hm, seems normal but what does he mean about "the truth" and what are his arts. Other than the fact that he killed Mizuki, is good with kawairimi and is capable of Kage bunshin his file doesn't say anything enough about his abilities to know what he's talking about. Oh well we'll find out tomorrow.'

"Okay tomorrow is your final test. If you fail you'll be sent back to the academy. Meet me at training ground seven at six am sharp. Sayonara." He promptly vanished half expecting to hear a yell disbelief but when he appeared far enough away so that he could see them but they couldn't see him he was surprised that all that happened was that Sasuke and Sakura had left. He was even more surprised to see Naruto seemingly sprout black feathered wings and fly off.

'Is this what he meant by his arts?'
