Chapter 4 Loud mouths, Foul Mouths, Snake Mouths
Last Time...
Hinata looked out the window miserably. Kiba had taken advantage of her former lack of confidence to achive what he wanted. She sighed as the door opened. Teh smell of cinnimon rols reahced her nose as she faced the door. She saw a grim faced Naruto walking over to her.
"Here you go. Fresh cinnimon rolls and some orange jucie." He said, handing her the small bag and the cup of juice.
"Arigato. Naruto-kun? What's wrong?"
"I just ran into Kiba."
"Naruto..." She said sadly, looking at him.
"Hey. It's alright. I know you did it because it would look too damn suspisous if you declined since we spend every second of free time together."
"Your not mad?" She asked softly.
He grinned at her.
"How can I be mad at my angel? That's like asking me to hate the title of Hokage. Ain't going to happen." He said, starting to lean in when a shout echoed behind him.
"I KNEW IT!"
(Who said it was Kiba?)
Naruto snapped his head to the door and saw a grinning Sakura looking at them. Naruto quickly rushed over and pulled her into the room, shutting the door behind her. He turned and saw her barley able to contain her glee.
"I knew something was up with you two!" She squealed.
"Sakura, keep it down." Naruto said.
"Oh, wait until I tell Ino! Everybody will know!"
"No. You will not tell anyone." Naruto said bluntly.
Sakura looked at him, confussed.
"But why?"
"Because Hinata and her family will take crap for us seeing each other. We've managed to keep it a secret for a while now."
"Huh? But all you ever do is spar and train together."
"Soemtimes, we do train and spar. But most of the time, we've been seeing each other." Naruto said, sitting down on the bed next to Hinata.
"So, you've been hiding it? Oh, that is so romantic!"
"Sakura." Naruto said warningly.
"Oh, right. Sorry." Sakura said sheepishly.
"So, do we have your word you won't tell?" Naruto asked her.
Sakura gave him a small smile.
"You have my word. I won't say a word."
"That doesn't stop me from writting them." Her inner self thought smugly.
Naruto looked at her, thankful.
"Thanks, Sakura. We appreiciate it. Now, what can we do for you?" He asked as Hinata began nibbling on her cinnimon rolls.
"I just came to see how Hinata was. But I heard what you told her after she asked if you were mad."
"Oh." Damn gotta be more careful.
Naruto was just about to ask her how her training with her team was going when the door opened. Thankfully, Naruto was quick enough to get into the seat beside her bed as Sakura gave him a knowing grin. In the door stepped three people Naruto was glad to see. Haku, Zabuza and the Third. Naruto gave them a welcming smile as Sakura looked at the two new shinobi.
"I thought we would find you here, Naruto." The third said, smiling.
"Hai. Good call on that, Ojii-san. What can I do for you?"
"These two just wanted to see how you two were doing. And...Oh, Miss Haruno. How are you today?" He asked Sakura, kindly.
"I'm fine. Just seeing how Hinata was." She looked over at Naruto, "I hope no one finds out until your both ready. Though, I think you already are." She grinned as she left the room.
"I got a bad feeling all of a sudden." Naruto muttered as he looked over to Haku.
"Naruto-sama. It is a pleasure to see you again. And it is even more pleasant to see that Hinata-sama is also well." Haku said.
Naruto detected a hint of sadness in her voice as she greeted Hinata.
"Yeah. Good to see a gutsy kid like you is alright. I mean, even I was shocked when you tore into those thugs like that. It even scared me." Zabuza said.
Naruto nodded grimly as the Third stepped over to him.
"Naruto. I want to speak with you when you get the chance. It's about that fight of your's."
Naruto nodded and turned to Hinata.
"I'll see you in a bit, Hina-chan."
"I'll be waiting." She said softly as he turned and followed the Third out the door, along with Zabuza and Haku.

"What do you want, Sakura?" Ino asked as an excited Sakura beamed at her.
After they had both lost at getting on Sasuke's team, they had become good friends again.
"Oh, I know something that you don't. And it's about a certain pair of shinobi."
"Just spit it out, girl. Your getting me anxious." Ino said, smiling.
"Well, I promised not to say anything, but I never promised not to write anything. But you have to promise to tell or write no one what I'm about to inform you."
Ino nodded her head, agreeing. There was always drawing. And she was a pretty good artist.
"Sure. What is it?" Ino asked.
Sakura grinned as she began to scribble on a piece of paper at a blinding speed. She could barely contain herself as she handed the note to Ino. The blonde read it, with her eyes going wide and her jaw dropping as she finished. Ino looked at Sakura.
"No. Way. You better not be joking."
Sakura shook her head.
"Nope. I heard it myself. And from the soruce. They've been hiding it because the villagers will get angry at both of them and Hinata's family."
"That's so romantic. It's like Romeo and Juliet. Hopefully it doesn't end the same way." (Hmm...I wonder...would you guys hate me if it does? I've never doen a story like that yet)
"I know! Their doing something everyone in the village would forbid becasue it's Naruto, and their getting away with it."
"I wonder if Hinata finally told him." Ino mused.
"Who cares?! We got our own soap opera here in the village!"
"Your right. I'll talk to you later Sakura."
"Kay. Later Ino."

Naruto was sitting in the Hokage's office as the older man looked at him over folded hands.
"Naruto. I want to know what's going on. This is the second time you've become almost demonic. Are you truly Naruto?"
Naruto sighed.
"Yes, Ojii-san, it's the true me. And I'll explain it simply. Kyuubi and I have fused. I have his powers and abilities, but I'm still the dominant personality."
The Third looked at him momentairly.
"I see. So, your a hanyou now. Well, that does explain a few things. Your free to go, but I want to know if you start to feel anything out of the ordinary."
"Well, when you say that, I have been feeling a slight burining sensation in my eyes in the mornings, but it's usually only for a few seconds."
"Did you say your eyes?"
"Hai. I did."
"Naruto, do you know that you have a bloodlimit? In fact, if what I have learned in genetics is reliabe, you are the first one ever to have this one."
"What is it?" Naruto asked, curious.
"Well, you see. Your father, while he was an orphan, only was because his father and mother were killed by the Uchiha."
"What?!" Naruto said angrily.
"It was because your grandmother was an Uchiha. Since she decided to take her husaband's name, they executed them, thinking that they hadn't had a child yet. I raised your father as my own son. When he activated his sharingan, I ordered him as his Hokage and as his adoptive father to not use it unless in battle. And only then, he was to make sure that his teammates never saw it. This was to prtect him. Only myself and Jiraiya know of this."
"Holly shit, I'm related to the Uchiha. My life offically sucks."
The Third frowned at him.
"You know, Minato said the same thing when I told him about his mother. Now, your mother had a very feared doujutsu. We do not know what it is called, only that it was very similar to the Byakugan. The only differance being that her's was not able to see chakra circulation. It was for scouting, able to see great distances."
Naruto looked at him, stunned.
"We're not sure how, but we believe both of these bloodlimits have fused to create one powerful one. But, since it is the first, we have no idea what it will be like."
"I see. Well, I guess I can't tell anyone, can I?"
"Not unless you want to have the council down your throat to practice poligamy."
"I'm good. The last thing I need is to have two women in my life. I only need one."
The Third Chuckled.
"Yes. Women. We can not live with them, yet we can not live without them. A perfect contradiction."
"Amen to that, Ojii-san. Amen to that."

Naruto was walking down the street when he noticed he was getting more glares than usual. He caught bits of "How dare he think he should have that" or "He has some nerve". It was all making him worry as he approached the Ramen stand. He entered and came face to face with Shikamaru, Choji, and an extremly angry Kiba.
"Uh...guys? What's going on?"
"What's going on with you and Hinata?" Shikamaru questioned back.
Naruto became angry at Sakura, but didn't let it show.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, what's with the two of you seeing each other?" Shikamaru presisted.
"Guys, does it really mattter if we're dating or not?"
"Yeah. It does." Kiba shot angerly.
"Kiba. Calm yourself. You should be happy for Hinata." Choji scolded him.
"No. I won't. I was there first. I should be the one dating her. Not him." Kiba shouted at Choji.
"Kiba. Calm yourself. You were only her friend. Wait, Naruto hasn't denied or admitted to it. Naruto?" Shikamaru said, looking for him.
The blonde was nowhere to be found.

Sakura was cutting thgrough the park on her way home when she saw Naruto leaning against a park tree by the exit. She wondered why he looked angry as she approached.
"Naruto? What's wrong?"
"You broke your promise. You informed Ino, using a loophole that you knew was automatically closed. Now, I have to explain to Hinata why we can't hangout as much anymore because you couldn't keep it quiet. So, thank's Sakura. You've made our lives hell." Naruto turned to leave before looking over his shoulder, "Oh, and don't come near me or try to speak to me for quite awhile."
Sakura stood rooted to the spot, feeling foolish and ashamed. She'd just alienated the only boy who had shown her any kind of true affection. Sakura ran home that night, crying at her own selfish desire to out do Ino.
xxxxx
Hinata lay proped up on her pillows as Naruto entered the room, looking sad.
"Naruto-kun? What's wrong?"
He sighed as he sat down besode her, taking her hand.
"Hina-chan. We have to slow down our relationship even more."
She looked at him surprised.
"Why?"
"Because Sakura couldn't keep her big mouth shut. She decided to inform Ino by writting, thinking it was a loophole. And of cousre, Ino drew it and showed everyone she knew. Eventually, it got through the whole village. To keep you safe, I had Shikamaru go around and tell everyone it's not true. We have to limit our time togther at least for a few months."
Hinata looked close to tears as she hugged him.
"But I don't want to. I want everyone to know! I don't care what they do to me. I want to be with you."
Naruto wrapped his own arms around her.
"I know you do, angel. But the thing is, I don't want you getting hurt because of me. It'll only be for a few months."
She gave him a hard look.
"No. I want everyone to know. I can protect myself now."
Naruto sighed.
"I'll make you a deal. At sensei's wedding, I'll tell everyone. And I have a feeling it'll be soon."
Hinata looked at him skeptically.
"You promise?"
"Of course. Now, I have to go, but I'll see you tomorrow at the Team practice. At least sensei will let us hang out together."
xxxxx
Naruto walked down the street, miserable. He and Hinata had played it off that they weren't dating. She had even agred to see Kiba so that their cover was convicing. And now, he had to listen to Kiba brag about his every date with Hinata. Naruto put on a fake smile and wished him well, while on the inside, it was killing him. So, today he was walking silently through the streets, getting the normal glares as he made his way absent mindedly to the team training grounds. It took him a second to realize that he was being followed. He kept walking for a few blocks before truning around.
"Who the hell are you? And that disguse sucks!"
"Your good boss!" A vocie sounded before the box exploded in multi coloerd flashes, revealing three children on coughing on the ground. Naruto scowled. He had a feeling it was Konohamaru.
"Ugh. Why do you guys follow me around?" He asked them
"Because you promised to play ninja with us!" Konohamaru said.
"Sorry guys, I'm a bit down today. I'll play some other time." Naruto said as he turned and started to walk away.
Konohamaru and his friends followed Naruto as he continued to the training grounds.
"What's got you down, boss?" Konohamaru asked.
"Eh, just some minor problems, nothing too serious." He said as they entered the alleyway near the Hokage tower.
He looked up and stopped as he came face to face with a boy with a black hood and make up on and a blonde girl with a large fan on her back. The boy glared at Nartuo.
"Watch where your going, shrimp."
Naruto glared right back.
"Oh yeah? Well, this 'shrimp' could wipe the floor with you. So, what the hell are you doing here in my village? As far as I know, a foreign shinobi must have reason for entering another village."
The blonde girl gave him a small smile as the boy pulled out a paper.
"We do. The Chunin exams. Now move, punk."
"Alright doll man, you can go. But don't threaten another leaf shinobi. Your kinda out numbered here."
"Temari, I'm going to kil them. Now." He said, pulling the object off his back.
"Your not going to use Crow?!" She asked in shook.
Just what 'Crow' was didn't matter. Naruto felt another presance and qucikly threw a kunai into the tree at the feet of a boy with red hair, dark rings around his eyes, and love tattooed onto his forehead.
"It's rude not to introduce yourself." Naruto said.
Everyone looked up at the tree and fear crossed the two sand ninja's faces.
"H-hey Gaara." Kunkorro said nervously.
"Kunkuro. You are an embarassment to our village. Behave yourself, or I will kill you."
The one called Gaara appeared in front of them in a swirl of sand.
"I believe this is yours." He said, handing him the thrown kunai. Naruto took it and felt a familar chakra.
"I'll repeat myself for you three. While your here, your expected to follow our laws. I'll be leaving now. Oh, and before I forget. Which one have you got? From it's power, I'd say it's close to a one. Right?" Naruto asked, looking over his shoulder.
"What is your name?"
"Give me yours first."
"Gaara of the desert."
"Naruto Uzumaki. Now. I must be going."
The three sand ninja watched as the leaf shinobi left.
"That boy is amazing." Temari said dreamily.
"Dont get any ideas. He's the enemy." Kunkuro told her, placing the object back on his back.
Gaara didn't say anything as he turned and left.
Who are you, Naruto Uzumaki?
xxxxx
Naruto was listening to Konohamaru say how cool he was about dealing with the sand shinobi when he felt a presance behind him followed by a scream.
"Konohamaru!" Moegi screamed as a masked Nin carried her away.
"Moegi! Boss! We have to save her!" Konohamaru said panicing.
"Stay here. I'll be right back." Naruto said, lepaing after the nin.
Naruto had never really ever figured out who this guy was and wanted to know this time. He poured on the speed and caught up to the man with ease.
"You gonna put her down and come with me? Or are we gonna have to fight?" He asked the man casually.
"Heh. Your a cocky punk, I'll give you that."
"Thank you. Now. Lets settle this like true shinobi." Naruto said plesantly as he punched the nin.
"Argh!" The man said as he was hurled away.
Naruto caught Moegi before she hit the ground.
"Get out of here, quickly. I'll take care of him." He said, facing the nin as he stood shakily to his feet.
The girl nodded and ran off in the direction of the village. The man faced Naruto with an angry glare.
"Little brat. I'll gut you for that!" He said as he pulled a kunai.
"Really? Why don't I introduce you to a friend of mine?" Naruto asked, flashing thru hand signs.
"Summoning Jutsu!" He shouted, slamming his hand on the ground.
A bang procedded the apperance of nine foxes of variuos size. One was orange with a scar down it's left eye, one was pink, about the size of Pukken. A thrid and fourth were blonde and were each the size of bull. The Fifth as Raven colored and sat majestically, the size of a white tiger. The sixth was red with a black stripe down his back, about the size of a normal fox. The seventh was purple and was the size of a horse with the eigth the size of a man with black fur. The final fox was blue and went to Naruto's waist. The Nin looked at the foxes with amazement.
"I've never herad of a fox pack summon."
"Yeah. I know." Naruto said as the foxes bared their fangs at the man. "Now tell me. Why are you here?"
"To test you."
"Well, your about to see how good I am. Lets get him, guys!" Naruto started foreward but noticed that the foxes didn't move.
The large one looked at him with a glare.
"And why should we follow you?"
Naruto sighed and allowed his hanyou form to take on. He looked back at the fox.
"Because I am the new fox lord. Follow me, and I promise you honor. Protect my kin, and I promise you glory. Protect my village, and I promise you peace. Do you agree to the terms?"
The Big fox walked over to him and stopped in front of him.
"For written in blood, it shall be." It said as a blank scroll appeared.
Naruto took the scroll and opened it. Behind him, the man was being restrained by the foxes so he couldn't run or attack. Naruto knicked his finger and began to write on the scroll everything he said to them. He looked at the first bracket and paused. The fox saw this.
"For the contract to be everlasting, you must sign it."
Naruto nodded and signed his name on the scroll, watching as it began to glow. After a few seconds, the scroll rolled up and vanished in the blink of an eye. The large fox nodded his head.
"And so begins our service to the Uzumaki clan. Now, let us begin!" The fox roared, leaping at the man.

Kakashi stood on the roof, waiting for Iruka to arrive. The man appeared close to midnight, looking worse for wear. Kakashi gave him a look that said, 'I told you so'.
"You were right. Their ready." Iruka said walking over to him.
Kakashi nodded and shut his book.
"What happened to you?"
"The Uzumaki pack.(Hope you don't mind me barrowing the name. And you know who you are)" Iruka winced as he lightly touched his shoulder.
Kakashi looked at him confussed.
"The what?"
"Naruto's new summon. Their all foxes. Probably stronger than your dog pack." Iruka said, leaping towards the hospital.
Kakashi stood in silence as he took this information in.
xxxxx
Naruto entered the training ground the next day, smiling to himself. He had been up half the night finalizing the contract with his new summons.
(Flashback)
"Lord Uzumaki. I and my pack will be at the service of your clan. But be warned: Any sign of disrespect, and we will sever the contract."
"I understand. But I want to adjust the scroll's agreement. I want others who are either trusted by me and my family, or those joining the family from outside to be able to sign and summon you."
"Agreeable, but friends will only summon one of us, and new members to your clan will be able to summon four."
"Six."
"Five."
"Deal. Now, about the requirements of summoning you guys. Does it have to be blood?"
"Hai."
"Oh. Any way around it?"
"No."
"Can't you juts-"
"No."
"Aw, your no fun."
"No."
"Is 'no' all you say?"
"No."
(End Flashback)
So, he was walking to the traing grounds and sat down next to his teammates as they waited for Kakashi to arrive.
xxxxx
"Oh, hello you three."
"Where were you?" Naruto asked, aleady knowing the answer.
"Well I got lost on the road of life." Kakashi said, smiling.
"What the hell does that mean any way?" Naruto asked, irritated.
Kakashi had never told him what it had meant.
"I'm not going to answer that question. Instead, I want to inform you that I have nominated you three for the Chunin Exams."
He handed them each a slip of paper.
"You must each fill these out and present them at room 301 at eight in the morning next monday. The adress is on the papers. Now, that is all I have, you can go home and tell you parents the wonderful news." He left in another swirl of leaves.
xxxxx
(Time Skip: Second half of the Chunin Exams. Fights were the exact same as the manga and anime)
Naruto sat beside Hinata's bed, praying that she woke up. It had been over two weeks since her match with Neji, and he remembered it like it was yesterday...
(Flash Back)
Naruto watched in horror as Hinata was struck in her heart by Neji's Jyuken. Naruto wanted the match to end, for the referee to call it, but he didn't. He had to watch as Neji taunted her, mocked her as he drew out her defeat.
"It was your destiny to lose. You were chosen to lose to me. You will never be able to change yourself or fight destiny."
"No. It is you who are fighting destiny. You blame me for the problems that I have nothing to do with. You are short sighted, cousin."
Neji lost it. He roared in rage and charged, intending to land a killing blow, when he was surrounded by Leaf Jonin. He saw Naruto holding Hinata in a sitting position as she looked up to him. Neji could see tears on the blonde's face.
"Hinata. I'm sorry. I should have moved sooner." He whispered.
"No. You did the right thing. Don't worry about me. I have too much to live for to die." She said, smiling.
The medics arrived and took the girl to the hospital. Naruto heard the medics as they left. It almost broke his heart.
"My god. Her heart beat is eratic." One of them said.
"We have to get her to the hospital if she's to have any chance of survival." The other said as the rushed off of the floor.
Naruto slowly turned to the now unrestrained Neji. He ran his fingers through Hinata's blood that was on the ground and thrusted his fist at Neji, blood dripping off.
"On her blood, I vow to win. But know this. Her fate is your's. If she dies, so do you."
(End Flashback)
Naruto sighed as he stood up. He had weasled his way out of training by showing Jiraiya that he could summon Gamabunta with no problem. That was three days ago, and Naruto didn't like how that day had gone...
(Flash Back)
Naruto was sweating profusely. He had just managed to summon the chief toad, Gamabunta. Of course, the old toad hadn't believed that he had summoned him, so Naruto had bet him that if he could stay on top of his head for a whole day, than Gamabunta would recognize him as his summoner. Gamabunta replied by leaping a hundred feet in the air. And now, the sun was close to setting and Gamabunta was getting desperate. Jiriya had long since dissappeared. Something about research.
"Hey, runt. What's your name?"
Naruto didn't losen his grip. He smirked.
"Naruto Uzumaki."
"Well, Naruto Uzumaki, please forgive me for your death!"
Gamabunta had one final chance. He sent his chakra to his legs and propelled himself five hundred feet into the air, landing with enough force to create a crater. Naruto lost his grip and began to slid off when Gamabunta stopped him.
"Alright, kid. I hate to say this, but you won the bet. Now, let's get you home."
(End Flash Back)
Naruto had spent every day next to Hinat's bedside, unwilling to leave. Today, he would have to leave so he could get some clean clothes and some food in him. So, regretfully, he left the hospital and headed home. He was almost there when a sudden blinding pain in his eyes forced him on all fours, gasping for breath. The pain was intense. He shut his eyes tightly, willing it to go away as he began panting. As soon as it struck, it throbbed away. He kept his eyes shut and wipped the sweat off of his brow. He shakily got to his feet and opened his eyes. He felt dizzy so he blinked a few times until it had almost passed. He rubbed his eyes and headed off to the Hokage, hoping the oldman could tell him what was wrong.

Haku was walking peacfully through the village, admiring the sights as she continued shopping. She was just exiting a grocery store when she came face to face with a green spandex clad shinobi. The boy gave her a dazzling smile as she took a step back to better see who it was.
"Ah, Haku-chan. A pleasure to see you again."
"Oh, hello Lee-kun. How are you today?"
"Well, I would be better if I was allowed to train. But my body is still in a weakened condition." He said sadly.
Haku gave him a wam smile.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you will get better."
"Thank you, Haku-chan. I'll let you continue." He said, starting forward on his crutches.
"Umm...Lee? Would you like to walk with me? I don't know my way around the village completely." She said, blushing slightly.
Lee looked at her, stuned for a moment before smiling.
"I'd be honored to." He said falling into step beside her.
xxxxx
Sakura was sitting on her roof, looking sarrowfully at the village. She had ruined her friendship with Naruto and it still hurt. She had never ment for it to get around. She just wanted to impress Ino for once. But now, she didn't even want to speak to her. Both girls were ashamed of what they had done. But they hadn't approached either Naruto or Hinata because both had made it clear they wanted nothing to do with either of them. So, here she sat, one month after she had ruined her friendship, wondering what else could go wrong.
"Kami. Please. Let Naruto and Hinata allow me to apologize." She whispered.
"You think an apology will be enough? After the damage you caused?" A cold voice said behind her.
She didn't have to look to know who it was.
"Hello Sasuke." She said softly.
"You didn't answer my question." He said, standing against the chimney.
"No. I know it won't be. But it would be a start." She said.
Sasuke sighed. He knew what he had to do. He walked over and dropped down next to Sakura as she hugged her legs, her chin resting on her knees.
"Sakura, what you did is the worst thing any friend could do. You betrayed their trust, all so you could feel important because you knew something Ino didn't. According to what Kakashi sensei has told us, to Naruto, your worse than trash. 'Those who don't follow the rules are trash, worthy of niether pitty or mercy. But those who betrey their friends are worse than trash. They don't deserve the breath they draw, for they have betreyed something sacrid.' Kakashi sensei told us that."
Sakura sniffed as she held back tears. Man, she had really messed up. Sasuke felt that he had to comfort her, so he did the one thing he would never have normally done just a year ago: He put an arm around Sakura and pulled her close as she began to sob.
"I didn't want to hurt them. I didn't think Ino would tell anyone. She promised she wouldn't."
"Like you promised you wouldn't tell? Sakura, that was stupid to think you could trust Ino with that kind of information."
"I know. I know. I don't know why I did that." She sobbed.
Sasuke didn't know what to say. He just held her as she cried herself to sleep in his arms.

Naruto sat in the Hokage's office as the oldman smiled at him.
"Well, Naruto. What can I do for you?"
"Ojii-san, something weird happened. I was walking home tonight when my eyes started hurting really bad. It was only for ten seconds or so, but it hurt to the point that I had to shut my eyes."
The Third looked at him, seriously.
"Naruto. I want you to gather chakra in your eyes."
"Nani?"
"Just do it."
Naurto nodded and gathered hsi chakra. He felt the burning again, but it was just a prickle now. He watched as the Third's face went shocked before he grinned.
"Well, congratulations. You have activated your bloodlimit. Now, it needs a name..." The Third said as he began to rummage around for teh proper paper work.
"Ojii-san? What does it look like?"
"I'll show you." The Third said, handing him a mirror.
Naruto looked in it and saw that his eyes were extremely odd looking. His pupils had streched out, gaining three arms that extended to the edge of his iris. His eyes were now purple and as he watched the eye began to change color back to his normal blue. He looked at the Third.
"How do I shut it off?"
"Just draw the chakra back." He said simply.
Naruto nodded and did as he was told. After a few seconds, he looked back in the mirror to see his eyes had returned to normal.
"So, what do you want to name it?"
Naruto thought hard. He waned a good name for it. It took him a moment to decide on one.
"Rozengan." He said.
"You sure?"
"Hai."
The Third nodded.
"Very well, Naruto you may go. But be warned. The council may find out about your blood limit even though I've classified it as an S class secret. So, be prepared." The Third warned him.

Hinata slowly woke, opening her eyes slowly. She felt sore and weak. It took her a moment to remeber what had happened. Her match with Neji. Her worst defeat. She felt tears well up at the memory that her cousin had tried to kill her. She looked aorund the room and saw Naruto fast asleep in the chair beside her bed. She simply watched him as he slept, afraid that if she looked away, he'd be gone. So, she sat there like that for over an hour before he slowly woke. He strecthed and looked over at her and smiled.
"Well, hello. I see your up." He stood up and walked over to her bed.
"Hai. How long have I been out?"
"Three weeks. The second half of the Chunin exams are coming up next week."
Hinata nodded her head sadly. Naruto saw this and looked at her, confused.
"What's wrong?"
She looked up at him.
"You probably haven't trained very much have you?"
"No need to. I got plenty of tricks up my sleave that Neji has yet to see, including a jutsu that will turely freak him out." He said, smiling.
The Jutsu in question: A modified version of his Sexy Jutsu. He'd savor Neji's defeat this time. Hinata looked at him in awe.
"Really?"
"Yeah. And, I have somethings I need to tell you." He said seriuosly.
"What are they?"
Naruto sighed and sat on the edges of her bed.
"Hinata. Did you know that I'm related to the Uchiha?"
Hinata's eyes widened in shock.
"I know. That was my first response. Appaerently, my father was the son of an Uchiha and a Namikaze. Both of my grandparents were executed because they refused to force the Uchiha name on their son. So, the Third rasied my father."
"Does this mean you have the Sharingan?" She asked, still shocked that he was related to an almost extinct clan.
"No. I have something better. I also found out that my mother and my father had a bloodlimit. But both of their limits have fused in me. It's called the Rozengan."
"So, you have a bloodlimit? What does it do?"
"We're not sure. All we know is that it is a fusion of the Sharingan and my mothers scouting bloodlimit."
"Scouting bloodlimit?"
"It allowed her to see great distances in all directions."
"Like the Byakugan?"
"Yeah, but it can't see the chakra system as clearly."
Hinata sat in silence, takling all of this in.
"But, what were your parents names?"
"Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Better known as The Fourth Hokage and the Red Death."
If anything in the conversation could have caused Hinata to faint, it was this news. One moment, she was looking at Naruto with shock, the next, she was passed out on her hospital bed.
"Well, that went better than expected." Naruto said happily.

Darkness. This was what he saw as he waited for a certain someone. Things had been twisted recently, and he, being immortal, was able to retain a sense of what should be. He placed a hand on his orange mack and removed it, placing it on the table beside him. The man pinched the bridge of his nose, eyes closed as he tried to make sense of this strange feeling he was getting.
"Tired, Lord Uchiha?" A voice spoke out.
The man lowered his hand and looked over to the man in bright blue robes with a long silver hair and a long silver beard.
"Now is not the time for honorifics, Sentinal. Something has toyed with the time line. Things are not how they should be."
The Sentinals, beings of extrodinary power, moniter the timelines, making sure nothing interferes with the way things should play out. The Sentinal nodded.
"Yes. The timelines have been distorted. A series of resets have been triggered, causing a weakening of the delicate thread of time."
The man rose to his feet and looked at teh man calmly.
"What is the cause?"
The Sentinal didn't hesitate.
"Your organization's weapon. When it was activated, it tore a hole in the space time continum. But one being was pulled into the tear."
"Who?"
"The Container of Kyuubi no Kitsune. Naruto Uzumaki."
"The chosen child?" The man queried.
"The same. He now must save the world, or help speed up it's destruction."
"But, how does he do that?"
The Sentinal shook his head.
"Alas, I cannot say. Just know this, pray he loses no one preciouis to him, for if he does, he will unleash the full power of the demon king he now is. If that happens, he will destroy the world."

Naruto flexed his hands as he walked to the Stadium, ready for his match.
"I can do this." He said softly to himself.
He didn't even notice that he had walked right to his teams training grounds. Looking around, he saw that it looked the same it had when they had first became a team. He sighed. He had been unable to prevent Orochimaru from marking Sasuke. He had moved to late to stop him, but he was able to hurt the Snake Sannin badly enough to force his retreat. He was so deep in thought that he hadn't noticed a certain konouchi standing by one of teh posts.
"Naruto?" A soft voice spoke out.
Naruto looked over and saw Hinata leaning against one of the posts. He gave her a smile.
"Hey, Hina-chan. You feeling okay?"
"Hai." She said softly.
Naruto walked over and gave her a gentle hug.
"I miss you." She whispered.
"I know. Just hold on. We'll be able to be together soon enough. How are things with Kiba?" He asked her, breaking away from her.
"Akward. I keep pushing off the first kiss of the relationship, but he keeps trying to get one." She told him.
"The bastard. Hinata. You can always dump him, saying he was just too pushy. Everyone will buy it."
"But what about our cover?"
"It will hold. Even if your not dating him."
Hinata nodded her head when she actiavted her byakugan. She gasped.
"Naruto! You'd better get out of here. Kiba's coming!" She said, trying to push him in the direction of the stadium.
"Okay! Okay! I'm off. We'll talk later!" He called over his shoulder as he ran off into the distance.
Hinata placed her hands on the post, sighing when Kiba arrived. He cocked his head to the side.
"Something wrong, hime?"
"No. N-n-nothing."
xxxxx
Naruto walked out to the center of the arena. He saw everyone there except Sasuke.
"Heh. The Teme didn't show. Probably didn't want to face me." Naruto said as he stepped into his place.
"Hey, Naruto." Shikamaru walked over.
"Hey, Shika."
Before they could exchange any more plesantries, a man that looked like Hayate stepped forward. Naruto assumed that the other guy had been hospitalized. He had no idea that he was one of the first casualties of the coming battle.
"Alright. The third round will now comence. This will be held like a tornament. Now, the rules. Even if you lose your match, you still have a chance to become a chunin if your match shows that you have the abilities we are looking for. Even if you fight one match, you can still make the cut. Now. The first match will commence immidiatly. Everyone but Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuuga will wait up there for your match." He said, pointing to a balcony.
The genin nodded and they all left to the waiting area as Naruto and Neji faced each other. Neji smirked at Naruto as He glared at him.
"So, loser. Anything you wanna say?"
"Yeah. Something I heard from a friend of mine. 'If you lack Heaven, seek wisdom, be prepared.' I hope you prepareed yourself, because I know I have. So, I have both Heaven and Earth. This match has been decided already."
"Yes. Fate has chosen you to be defeated." Neji said confidently.
"You can take your pre determined fate and shove it up you ass. I make my own fate."
"If you two are ready, you may begin."
"Prepare yourself Neji. You won't walk away from this."
The first match of the third part of the Chunin exams has started.
xxxxx
Naruto stood ready. He knew how he was going to win, but it would be very tricky. Pulling a kunai he threw it at Neji, but it went wide, missing him. Naruto moved to his left, removing Neji's attention from the kunai. It would come in handy later. Naruto summoned five clones and they attacked, leaving Naruto hanging back, creating a few more clones. Neji was impressed that this kid knew such a high level jutsu and was trying to figure out which was the real one when he found him. Neji smirked as he sprinted through the cloud of Naruto's and charged straight at the one standing back. Neji charged his hand in chakra and slammed it against his chest. He was rewarded by blood coughed up by Naruto and his clones dissappearing.
"A very good move. However, even if I could not tell who was the real one by the chakra flow, I figure that the real one would be further away from the clones attacking, in fear of his tenkesu getting hit. So, you lose."
"No. You only got a clone." Naruto grinned before dissappearing.
"What?" Neji said wipping around.
He saw Naruto looking at him with strange eyes.
"What is wrong with your eyes?" He asked curiously.
"These? Their called the Rozengan. Their my blood limit. It's a fusion of two of the most powerful eye techniques in the village. I can copy an opponents moves and see great distances in all directions." Naruto smirked at Neji at this point, "They also allow me to see into your mind. And I see a secret that you don't want to get out. Forfiet and I'll keep it a secret."
Neji only smirked.
"Sorry. But you won't be talking. Your in my range." He dropped down into the gentle fist fighting stance.
"Wha?"
In the stands, Hinata gasped.
"He can't!"
"Unfortunatly, he can. I don't know how, but he learned the most powerful attack in the Hyuuga arsenal. Naruto has lost." Hiashi said surprised at Neji's genius.
"No. Look at the kunai Naruto threw earlier." Hanabi said, byuakugan active.
Hiashi followed his daughter's example. He couldn't see it.
"I don't see it."
"Yes. Now, look under the ground." Hanabi said, smiling.
Hiashi did and smiled.
"That little prankster. Neji doesn't stand a chance."
Back in the center of the arene, Neji was calling out strikes.
"Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms! Two strikes! Four strikes! Eight strikes! Sixteen strikes! Thirty-two strikes! Sixty-four strikes!"
On the last one, he hit Naruto with enough force to hurl him twenty meters away.
"You can no longer move. I have closed every major Tenketsu on your body. You can no longer gather chakra."
"I can't. But the original can." Naruto said before dissappearing a cloud of smoke.
"Then where-"
Neji looked down in time for a fist to shoot out of the ground, connecting with his jaw. Neji was sent airborn from the rising uppercut and tossed a good distance away. Naruto stood, smirking. Neji got up shakily. He had expended a tremendous amount of chakra, and had enough left for one more shot. Neji looked to the Proctor.
"I intend to kill him. If you want, call it now."
The procter gave Neji a cold look. The boy turned back to see a grinning Naruto.
"Gonna kill me? I guess I have to do this then. Neji, your gonna be so embarrassed." Naruto grinned, gathering Chakra, "Sexy no Jutsu: Neji's Desire!"
Neji watched in horror as Naruto dissappeared in a cloud of smoke and was replaced by a completely nude Tenten. A very loud, very angry "NANI?!" could be heard above the wolf whistles and the roars of approval from the men. Neji felt his nose bleed as his eyes buldged. Up in the stands, Hiashi watched, his eyebrow twitching, mouth shut tightly while Hinata looked completely shocked and angry at Naruto. How did he even know what Tenten looked like nude? She calmed down when she realized he had used his Rozengan to look into Neji's mind and probably got the image from there. Back at the battle Naruto/Tenten winked at him.
"Hey Neji? Want me to sharpen your weapon?" He asked seductivly.
Neji only stood rooted to the ground. Naruto dropped his henge and grinned.
"Bye bye, Ero-Neji."
"Huh?"
"Taijutsu Ogi: Sennen Goroshi!" A voice shouted from behind him.
Neji felt a pair of fingers jam themselves up his...rear. His face went from fear to humiliation. Until he was shot up and away, hurling through the air. The third shook his head. Naruto had been hanging around Kakashi too much. Naruto dissappeared and reappeared in front and above Neji. He held out his hand and began gathering chakra.
"I'm not done with you yet. Remember. I told you you won't be walkiing away from this."
Neji watched as a ball of pure Chakra formed in his hand, highly concertrated. Haiashi stood up quickly.
"That's...it can't be. Where'd he learn that?" He asked, astonded.
Across the arena sat a man with white hair, on a toad. Jiriya watched, mouth agape.
"How'd he ever learn that?" He mused with a bit of pride at his new pupil.
Up in the Kage seating, the Thrid was on his feet, grasping the railing for support.
"There is no way for him to know that attack. But then...how?"
The Kazekage, Orochimaru in disguse watched in fasination. The Kyuubi brat had learned the fourth's most powerful jutsu...
"RASENGAN!" Naruto shouted, slaming the ball into Neji's gut.
The other boy screamed in pain as the ball of chakra shred his skin. Naruto, not wanting to kill, only put enough energy into it to cause Neji extreme pain. Neji was sent spinning to the ground, slaming into it with enough force to create a small crater. Naruto altered his tragectory and landed on the wall. Propelling himself, he flew straight at Neji as the boy got up, left arm bent at an akward angle. Naruto flipped and had him traveling feet first at Neji. His foot conected with Neji's shin, causing it to break. Narto flipped away and stopped. The proctor stepped foreward.
"Neji Hyuuga is unable to continue. The winner is Naruto Uzumaki."
Neji looked at Naruto.
"Why didn't you kill me?" He asked through gritte teeth.
"Because you didn't kill Hinata. If you had, I would have used that move to full power. What I hit you with was only a fraction of it's true power."
Hiashi lept down and carried Neji to the medical tent, nodding at Naruto. As they passed, he heard Hiashi speak to Neji.
"We need to talk, Neji." He said as they dissappeared behind the doors.
The crowd was silent as Naruto walked to the stands. They were shocked that a nobody had learned a very devesating jutsu. The Third smiled as he sat back on his chair. He had a feeling Naruto would be making Chunin, and with the fact that he knew one of the Fourth's jutsu, he saw him becoming a legendary shinobi. He waited for the next match to continue, when an ANBU appeared beside him. The third nodded and dissmissed the ANBU. He stood up and walked to the railing.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. I know that you have been looking foreward to the next match. I am a fraid I must move the match to a later time. It will be instead the last match of the first round. Now, Match 3 will comence." He turned and sat back down. he glanced at the Kazekage.
"I'm sorry for the delay. I know you were looking foreward to your son's match." He said kindly.
"I can wait. Hopefully, it will be as enjoyable as this first match. Wasn't that move he used one of the Fourth's jutsu? Come to think of it, the boy does look an aweful lot like Minato. Is he his son?"
The third looked at him sternly.
"Naruto's heritage is an S-ranked secret. I cannot confirm if you are correct or not."
The Kazekage nodded and turned back to the arena. the procter sighed and looked up to the waiting area.
"Will the two for match three, Shino Aburame and Kankuro, please step forward."
Shino calmly dropped down and walked to the middle of the arena. Kankuro was in angry thought.
"Damn it! I don't want to unveil my style to them yet. I wasn't even supposed to fight. Only one thing I can do."
"Hey. I forfiet."
Shino raised and eyebrow as the Proctor turned back to the crowd.
"Winner by Forfieture, Shino Aburame."
Shino vanished in a swirl of bugs and appeared back in the stands, getting a pat on the back from Naruto.
"Next entrants, Shikamaru Nara and Temari."
"Ugh. I have to fight a girl again. How troulbesome. I wish that Dosu guy had showed." He muttered.
"Go get her, Shikamru!" Naruto said pushing him over the railing. Shikamaru hit the ground and glared back up at Naruto.
"You baka! They have stairs for a reason!" He shouted standing up.
He brushed some dirt off his clothes and walked to the proctor. Temari landed much more gracfully on the ground than Shikamaru. She smiled up at Naruto before turning to face Shikamaru.
"When you to are ready, you can begin."
Shikamaru formed a hand seal.
"Shadow Possesion Jutsu!"
Temari lept back evading his shadow until it reached it's limit.
"Heh. Seems you have a limit."
She used her fan and drew a line.
"As long as I stay here you can't touch me." She said swining her fan. Shikamaru was blasted back into the wall. He grinned as he made the seal agin.
"Tch. Don't you-" She didn't finish.
She lept back as the shadow crossed her previous line. Again, it stopped just out of reach.
"Ah. you use the shadow of the wall to increase your distance. Not bad."
She swung her fan again as he dived behind the trees in the arena. They stayed standing where they were for over a half hour. Then he struck.
"Shadow Possesion Jutsu!"
His shadow shot out again, this time almost connecting. She jumped back.
"You waited for the shadow of the wall got bigger. You-"
"Temari! Look out!" Kankuro shouted out.
She saw another shadow floating down. Looking as she lept away, she saw a kunai with a shirt floating down.
As she landed, his shadow retreated.
"Sorry kid you-Ugh!"
She felt herself go ridged and started to walk forward. Looking over, she saw him walking out too. He stopped by the proctor, and she did also.
"How?" She asked through gritted teeth.
"Easy." He turned his head so she could see.
Coming out of the hole Naruto had made, was his shadow. Shikamaru smirked as he rasied his hand.
"I forfiet."
"What?" Temari asked, confused.
"I only have enough chakra to hold you in the jutsu for a few more seconds. Sure, I know about two hundred different ways to defeat you, but it would be too troublesome."
He lowered his arm as his shadow released from her's and walked back up to the waiting area.
"Winner. Temari."
The girl gathered her fan and lept back up to the wiating area. Shikamaru met Naruto by the stairs. The blonde grinned at him.
"Nicely played buddy." He said as Shikamaru stopped in front of him.
"Thanks. Now we just have to wait for Sasuke's match before we find out who we fight in the next round."
No sooner than he spoke than two figures appeared in a swirl of leaves.
"Speak of the Teme." Naruto grinned, pointing at one of the figures.
Sasuke looked at him and smirked.
"Sorry we're late. We had a few things to take care of."
"Eh, don't worry, Kakashi. His match was just about to start."
"Oh. Good. I'll leave you while I go speak with the Third."
Kakashi vanished as the Proctor faced the crowd. Sasuke walked over to Naruto as his match was announced.
"You win your match?" He asked Naruto.
"Yup. So did Shino. Shika forfieted after humiliating the sand girl. So far, It's Leaf, Leaf, Sand. You win yours, and it will be mostly leaf. And if you don't, oh well."
Sasuke smirked as Naruto and Shikamaru walked back up the steps. They made it to the top when they saw Gaara slaughter three men as he passed. Naruto smirked at him as Shikamaru just kept walking.
"So. How many tails?" Naruto asked as the boy stopped next to him. Both just stared in front of them.
"One. You?"
"Nine. Good luck in your match." Naruto said walking away.
Gaara didn't know why, but he felt a tiny bit of fear at the blonde. But, he pushed it aside and walked out to face his opponent. The crowd roared with applause as the final match of the first round was about to begin. They didn't know that a Sand/Sound invasion was only minutes away.
xxxxx
Sasuke dodged to his right as Gaara sent another wave of sand shiriken at him. He smirked as he jumped back onto the wall. Looking up to Naruto, he grinned. The blonde sent him a puzzled look as Sasuke removed the wieght seals he had placed on himself. He felt light as a feather. Naruto knew something big was about to happen and didn't want to miss it. He activated his Rozengan and watched as Sasuke made four hand seals in rapid succession. A ball of crackling electricity formed in his hand, sounding like thousands of birds. Naruto heard him cry out Chidori before he took off down the wall, leainving a crack that followed him all the way to the ground. Naruto knew he was as fast as Lee was with his weights. And it only made Naruto that much more willing to fight him. Gaara had since created a ball of sand, with himself in the middle. Sasuke came in fast and plunged his hand into the sand. A peircing scream could be heard. Naruto felt a sudden flar as Kakashi landed next to him.
"Naruto. The hokage would like to speak with you." Kakashu said, looking over at Sasuke's current position.
Naruto nodded and lept away as Sasuke jumped back away from the now sand spikes poking out, trying to shiscabob him. Naruto landed next to the Hokage.
"Ah, Naruto. I hope you are well." The third said, smiling at him.
Naruto grinned.
"Yup. I'm gonna ace this test." he said, hands in his pocket.
"That was an impressive jutsu you used. I have not seen it used since your Fourth Hokage was alive." The Kazekage said.
"Um, Hokage-sama. Can I speak with you in private?" Naruto asked.
The Hokage knew something was wrong from the way Naruto addressed him. The Third nodded and stood up.
"Please excuse me, Lord Kazekage."
The Kazekage nodded and went back to watching the fight. The Third and Naruto stepped out of earshot when the Third turned to the blonde.
"What is wrong, Naruto? You've never called me Hoakge-sama unless something important needed to be said."
"That isn't the Kazekage. It's that Orochimaru guy. I've met him once and got a scent of Snakes from him. From the scent and the chakra, it is the same as when I fought him in the forest."
The Third looked at Naruto seriously.
"Are you sure? Could you be mistaken?"
"No."
"I believe you. Get back to your seat. If he is here, we are about to come under attack." The Third turned to leave.
"No. I'll stay and help. If he does attack, the Anbu won't get here in time to lend support. Come on. According to Ero-senin, I'm at least low Jonin level. I can be of some help. And with my stamina and my chakra reserves, I'd be almost at the same level as you." Naruto said.
"Who's ero-senin?"
"Some pervert named Jiriya. He trained me."
"Okay. If Jiriya trusts you, so do I. Don't make a move until he unveils himself. In the mean time." He waved his hadn and a dog masked ANBU appeared.
"Have ANBU stationed at every gate. We're about to be attacked. Don't alert the enemy that we know." The Third told him.
"Hai." The ANBU vanished in a swirl of leaves as Naruto and the Third walked back to the Kazekage. The Third gave him a polite smile as he sat down.
"Is everything well?" He asked the Third.
"Oh. Yes. Naruto was just asking me for some relationship advice. He is almost like a grandson to me." The third smiled.
"Well, congratulations, young man. I wish you well." The Kazekage said.
Naruto didn't respond, only went back to watching the match. Naruto watched as the ball began to crack and a horrendous sight emerged. Gaara had half his body turned into somekind of demon.
"Oldman. That's the One Tailed. Shukaku. Gaara is a container for a demon." Naruto said.
The Third looked at Gaara in horror.
"Your right. We have to-"
"No. He hasn't released the demon. He's just taking on it's apperance." Naruto told him.
Naruto looked in the stands and saw a werid glint. The people in the audiance were begining to fall unconsious.
"We're under attack!" Naruto shouted, turning to The Third.
The oldman was already removing his robes, revealing black body armor as he rounded on the Kazekage.
"Stop hiding Orochimaru. I know that's you."
The Kazekage stood up and removed his head cover and grinned, Orochimaru began to chuckle.
"Ku ku ku. How'd you know?"
"It's hard to forget the scent of snakes." Naruto growled, pulling a kunai and dropping into a fighting stance.
"Ah. Of course. Well, no matter. The village will fall. My men are already moving to strike at those in the stadium."
Naruto looked around and saw leaf shinobi battleing sound and sand nin's as Sasuke was thrown into a wall. The boy got up and launched an attack against Gaara.
"Hey oldman. Let's wipe the floor with this guy."
The Thrid and Naruto vanished in a blur of spped and appeared behind Orochimaru. The thrid aming high, Naruto coming fromn below. Orochimaru dodged and grinned.
"Well. Let's begin than shall we?"
Leaping up to the top of the building,Naruto and the Third followed. When they reached the roof, a barrier appeared around them.
"This is were you both die."
Orochimaru's evil laughter rang through the air as battle ensued through out the village. If the defenders fell, the village would be lost. This wasn't war. It was a battle for the right to exsist.
xxxxx
Naruto and the Hokage stood facing Orochimareu as the four sound nin's created a second barrier, blocking themselves from the combatants. The Thrid smirked.
"Heh. Looks like I can't escape as easily."
"You wouldn't anyway." The Snake Charmer said.
"Orochimaru, you die here." Naruto said.
"Let's begin then."
Orochimaru made a hand signs in quick sucession as the Third did also, creating a cloud of shiriken. The snake blocked them with two coffins appearing. The thrid one was destroyed by Naruto before it fully emerged. The two leaf nin, lept back and prepared to counter his coing attack. They watched as the coffins opened. Out stepped two beongs who had been dead for years. The first and Second Hokage. The second looked at the Third.
"It's been a long time, eh, Monkey?"
The first looked at him also.
"Ohhh...it's you. Hmmm...you've grown old, haven't you Sarutobi? Who is the boy? Your grandson?"
"No."
The Hokage let out a sad sigh.
"I would not have thought I would meet you two bothers again in a situation like this. It is regretable."
The Third looked to Naruto.
"This is going to be the biggest battle you've ever been in. Our opponents are the First and Second Hokage."
"Two kage level opponents and an S-rank Missing nin. This'll be fun." Naruto said grinning.
The Third faced his opponents.
"Please make your preperations to be defeated, Shodaime-sama. Nidaime-sama."
The Second looked back at Orochimaru.
"Edo Tensei, huh? This youngerster is the one who summoned us with the Taboo Arts. He's quite something."
"If that's so, than Sarutobi, I guess that means we would have to fight against you two."
Orochimaru was getting irritated.
"How about you leave off with the old folks chatter and get started why don't you?"
The First shook his head.
"No matter how much the world changes, there is always fighting."
They watched as Orochimaru slamed two kunai into both their heads and he began making seals. The two began to smoke and ashes feel around them. Naruto noticed that they looked more alive now than they did. After they had finished, the third looked to Naruto.
"You take the Second. I'll take the first. Use your most powerful jutsu. If I know Jiriya, you have a few tricks up your sleaves."
"Heh. You don't know the half off it." He said, activating his eyes.
They tensed and charged the two previous hokages. The Third slaped his hands together.
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Napalm!"
A wave of fire shot from the fourth as Naruto made a few signs and slammed his hands together.
"Wind Style: Wind Sycthe Hurricane!" He yelled as blades made of wind flew at the second.
The Second and the FIrst acted.
"Water style: Water Barrier!"
"Earth Style: Mudslide Barrier!"
A wall of water rose, blocking the fire while the Mud barrier blocked Naruto's wind sythe. Both The Third and Naruto continued ahead. Naruto flashed several hand signs.
"Fire Style: Grand Fire Balll Jutsu!" He let a huge ball of fire fly and it smashed into both the barriers, creating an openeing.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Missle!"
Water streaked out of no where from the Third and smahed into the two Hokages. When the smoke cleared, they watched the battered Hokages get up shakily. Both Naruto and the Third were breating heavy. Glancing over, The Third asked Naruto a question.
"Where did you learn those moves?"
"My eyes are similar to the Sharingan. Ero-senin only showed them to me once and I was able to copy them perfectly. But using one element after another is still tiring."
"Hai. It is. It is time we finished this."
Naruto was just about to create a chidori when the First started moving. He flashed several signs as the Third and Naruto lept back.
"Earth Style: Forest Genesis!"
Both lept into the air as trees began to grow on the roof at an amazing pace. WIth in seconds a forest was almost complete. The Third pushed Naruto higher into the air as he came down, finishing his hand signs. As he was pinned to the tree, a monkey in battle armor appeared. Naruto landed on his feet and quickly began the task of cutting the Third out of the tree.
The Monkey looked at Orochimaru. It looked back to the Third.
"You're pathetic, you know that Sarutobi? This is all because you wouldn't kill him when we had the chance that time."
"Now's not the time, Enma. We have other problems to deal with. Naruto."
"Hai?"
"I want you and Enma to distract those three."
"Uzumaki huh? Nice to finally meet you. Let's get to work."
"Heh. Yeah. I think I'll go fox on him."
"How many tails?"
"Four should be enough."
"Yeah. Should be."
Naruto gathered his chakra and began to change into his hanyou form. He noticed it was easier and easier for him to change, but thought nothing of it. Orochimaru watched him with fear. He noticed the two Hokages looking at the him puzzled.
"He shouldn't have tails." The First commented.
"Who cares? Destroy them!" Orochimaru said, making a snake come out of his mouth.
Reaching up, the Snake Charmer pulled out a sword.
"The sword of Kusanahi, eh? This is going to be an interesting fight, kid." Enma said, eyeing the sword.
Naruto and Enma charged their opponents. Naruto went for the two hokages while Enma went for Orochimaru. The Snake blocked his shot as Enma attempted to maul his face off. Until he was hurled back. Naruto lept back as the two Hokage got back to their feet.
"Damn. Oldman you...?"
Narurto looke behind him and saw that he was breathing extremely heavy.
"Shit. It may be up to me. The old guy doesn't look like he can survive much more."
"No. He's getting ready to end it." Enma told him.
"Then we have to buy him a few more minutes. Come on!" Naruto roared.
The two launched another assualt, landing several sucessful blows.
"Alright! It's now or never!" Naruto heard the Third shout.
Looking back, he watched him flash thru hand signs. He watched closly, memorising them. He figured he might need this forbidden technique one day. Orochimaru watched in fascination and fear. The Third summoned two clones. The clones charged and grabbed hold of the two Hokages.
"Forgive, me, my friends." The Third said as he flashed thru the finally few signs.
"Take this! Fuun Jutsu: Shiki Fuujin!"
Naruto waited for several minutes until the Hokage went tense and started looking unsteady. Naruto was about to go see if he was alright when Enma stopped him.
"Don't. You'll be dead."
Naruto looked back and watched as the secne played out.
"Come forth!" The Third called out.
Both the Second and the First went stiff as the Bushins went stiff as well. The Third smiled as he started to turn pale.
"Sorry...Sarutobi. We've caused you alot of trouble." The second said with a sad grin.
"Please forgive me." He whispered back to him.
Naruro watched as the Third shouted "Fuun!" and the Second and the First turned to ash. He saw a seal that looked similar to his appear on the Thirds chest. The oldman stumbled forward and dropped.
"Sarutobi. You fool." Enma said softly before vanishing in a cloud of smoke.
Naruto turned, anger on his face, pain in his heart. In a split second, he was charging Orochimaru. Naruto flung his chakra arms forward, usuing them to grab Hebi teme's arms. He amped up the chakra and fried every nerve in his arm, making them useless. Hebi teme broke free of the grasp and stumbled back, looking at his blackened arms in horror.
"My arms! What have you done to my arms?!" He demanded, glaring at Naruto.
"I've taken away your ability to use jutsu. Now, die." Naruto growled, leaping forward.
Naruto found his hands around the man's throat. He began squeezing as they fell off the roof. But when they hit the ground, Naruto was knocked off, and Orochimaru and his lackys escaped. Naruto slammed his fist on the ground.
"Damn it!" He yelled.
He looked up as Shino landed in front of him.
"Naruto. Kakashi sensei wants you and me to go after Sasuke as his back up. Come."
Naruto nodded and followed the bug user. He just hoped things played out the same.
