After Kakashi left the Hokage office he was in deep shock over all that he heard and he was walking through the village when the voice of Sasuke caught his attention.
Sasuke came walking toward Kakashi with a scowl on his face and said "So what did you find out. Do I get another chance to become a Chunnin since the exams was canceled."
Kakashi said "Actually.....For embarrassing the village by not only missing your match but the entire exam you are going to be punished."
Sasuke glared and said "Why. I mean it was your fault we were late."
Kakashi said "That is true but it was also your responsibility to keep up with the days as well since it was YOUR promotion at stakes. Now the Sandaime has decided for your punishment to be that you will lose the chance to become a Chunnin for the next 2 years, you will also have to do 5 D-rank mission a week by yourself until the next Chunnin exams in 6 months. It will be your responsibility to make sure they are done because if you don't do them your Sharingan will be sealed off."
Sasuke said "You can't do that."
Kakashi said "I have my own punishment Sasuke and it's not my decision. It was the Hokage's."
Sasuke scowled and thought "perhaps it's time I took Danzo up on his offer. He prove to me that day the Sandaime is nothing but a figurehead and the real control of the village is in the council. Thats it, the council." and said "Then I will speak with the council. The Hokage is nothing but a figure head anyways." as he turned and started to walk away."
Kakashi blinked and thought "figurehead huh......NOT with the look he was ready to kill me with.....I can't let him talk to the council and start a massacre." and said "Sasuke, I believe you are wrong about the Hokage being nothing but a figurehead. You do realize that if you are right about the Hokage being a figurehead though then the council made that decision of your punishment."
Sasuke stopped in his tracks and thought a moment and said "I guess your right......I can't believe that they would actually threaten me though." as he began to rub the curse seal and remembered Kabuto words the day in the hospital.
Flashback
Kabuto stood over the bodies of 4 ANBU and he looked at Sasuke who was in the bed and said "As you can see. I am stronger then most think. My master taught me that Konoha will only hold me back and that they are doing the same thing to you. They think your too weak to kill your brother and avenge your clan. Watch, they are already holding you back...why else give you the laziest sensei there is who is always late...now rest." as he placed his glowing hand on Sasuke head causing Sasuke to pass out as he prepared for Kakashi.
End flashback.
Kakashi blinked and thought "has he always been so conceded." as he frowned seeing Sasuke rub the curse seal and after a quick thought said "It is probably because of all the VIP that were upset with you not showing up as well as the invasion. Everyone is pissed right now over that and Konoha needs those VIP to be happy so we can stay strong. Just think, by doing those D-rank mission you will get stronger and you don't have to take the exam to become Chunnin."
Sasuke blinked and looked at Kakashi asked 'What do you mean. I thought the exam were the only way to be promoted."
Kakashi said "The exams are mostly advertisements for the different villages showing off their best Gennin Truth is about half of the Chunnin in the village became Chunnin by excelling on missions and were promoted that way. Odds are that is what the Sandaime will do with you."
Sasuke quit rubbing the curse seal and thought for several minutes and said "Fine......I don't like it but your right." and thought "He was right, Konoha is holding me back because they think I am too weak to kill HIM. Your the same Kakashi, you purposely made me late so I could not be promoted and held back from getting stronger to kill HIM. I will play along.... for now." as he began to walk away.
After he was gone Kakashi thought "That seal is beginning to effect you mentally Sasuke. I have to keep you calm until Jiraiya-sama returns and ask him to look at it. Perhaps my sealing method isn't strong enough to hold it back."
Across the village people were working on recovering from the invasion that happened earlier in the day and no one realizing the journey that started today for 2 different boys....but where will those boys journey lead them. To destiny or to destruction.
It was already dark when Jiraiya and Naruto made it to a gambling town called Hiko. Jiraiya looked around the town a moment and pulled out a black notepad before he skimmed a few pages and sent chakra to a page and a key popped out.
Naruto looked on confused and Jiraiya said "I spend so much time on the road I simply decided it would be easier to buy a hotel room in nearly every major town. It cheaper and I don't have to worry about finding a room if there is something big going on in town the day I am there. Come." as he was serious and lead Naruto toward a room near the red light district and after taking a flight a stairs they came to room 219.
When they walked in the room had a king size bed and a fold up bed beside the closet and Jiraiya closed the door and pulled out 6 pieces of paper and put one on each of the 4 walls, one on the ceiling and one on the floor before he sent chakra into the last one and all the papers glowed and Jiraiya said "Now this room is sound proof and nobody can hear us. Now as I was saying in Konoha before you avoided my speech, once people find out your wearing armor they are going to target it to get to you. You don't realize what exactly you gave up when you received that....armor. Hell, I don't even know what you gained from it but I bet it's not worth what you lost."
Naruto frowned and thought "I gained more then you know Ero-sannin" and Eva said in his head "If you wish Naruto, I can explain exactly what you now have under you control to Jiraiya since you seem to trust him and he needs to know so he can train you properly. I only can do so much."
Naruto saw Jiraiya was getting ready for a long speech before he sighed and said "Do it." making Jiraiya look at him and ask "Do what."
Suddenly Naruto body shimmered a moment and then strange shimmers of light began to gather in the middle of the room. Jiraiya was on defensive a moment as all the shimmers concentrated together before a woman appeared with brown hair going to her mid back with brown eyes and Jiraiya took one look and said "Hehe....so what is this brat." as he glanced at Naruto and then the woman.
The woman said "I am Eva, The Electronic Virtual Avator. I am a holographic image of my creator. If you have any questions about the prototype I can answer them for you since my master has agreed to inform you."
Jiraiya looked at her and his perverted habit dropped and he said "So, your a hologram, right."
Eva said "Yes, I am connected to Naruto as his direct interface to the prototype."
Jiraiya looked at Naruto who walked over and sat down on the bed before laying back and said "Go ahead and ask her anything you want. I am going to get a little sleep." as he laid his good arm over his face and closed his eyes to try and sleep.
Jiraiya looked at Naruto a moment and said "Fine.....what exactly is this prototype, what can it do and what can't it do. What long term effects will the suit have on Naruto."
Another image appeared and this time was a floating version of the full armored suit and it slowly spun in a circle and Eva said "This is the prototype suit created for the ninja of Snow country originally to help them protect their country. It is a combination of metallurgy and cybernetics. The metal of the suit is a new type of metal created by the creator of this prototype that was given the nickname the chakra metal. Chakra metal is metal that consume chakra and stores it automatically for later use. Records indicate only 2 known productions of Chakra metal were ever made. This suit and the Samehada sword created as a gift to feudal lord of the land of mist and later stolen when he was assassinated."
Jiraiya nods and Eva said "Now the main difference between normal armor and the prototype is that this armor is basically alive." making Jiraiya blink and look at Naruto who was already asleep.
Jiraiya asked "What exactly do you mean alive." with narrowed eyes.
Eva said "Exactly what I mean. Every inch of the suit is basically me. My creator created me to be a part of the ninja that I was given to. Like any living creature I have the ability to heal myself over time as long as I have chakra to do so. I absorb water to fuel my body and like any wife I help support my husband or partner Naruto."
Jiraiya said "You think like a human instead of a machine."
Eva said "Because I was given a copy of my creators memory with some minor editing to help me understand my functions and to help me learn to control my body."
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes again and said "I see. So what exactly does your body do."
Eva said "As stated earlier, I have the ability to absorb chakra and store it in my suit to give to Naruto or to power the suit as not to have to drain chakra from Naruto. I use this chakra to repair myself from any damage I receive, power my internal functions, as well as power my own brain functions."
Jiraiya asked "Besides protecting Naruto like normal armor and possibly give him a little chakra what else can you do for him. So far I am not impressed."
Eva said "You have seen already the cloaking ability to appear as if he is not wearing me. I purify his chakra giving him better control of his chakra. I am able to allow him to fly and I have several weapon features like the exploding senbon launcher, several detection abilities including being able to pick up body heat through several levels, facial recognition software, being able to detect concealed objects or object underground through sonar sound waves, night vision, and range finder as well as the hand thrust cannon which allows the user to fire a concentrated burst of pure chakra at a distance. Because of the ability to absorb chakra and to give chakra to Naruto no Genjutsu can effect him as I absorb the chakra that cast it and should it somehow be strong enough to still reach him I am sending small burst of chakra into his body to disrupt it."
Jiraiya said "I see. Anything else."
Eva said "The suit is self contained. It creates its own oxygen so smoke, airborne poison or anything like that will not be able to effect him while he is wearing the suit. He is also able to stay underwater as long as he has chakra."
Jiraiya asked "How does the suit create its own air and how can he stay under the water until he is out of chakra, shouldn't it leak at the joints."
Eva said "No because there is no joints, the suit even though it is divided into sections merge together when activated making it completely sealed. As for how I make oxygen for him to breath is part of why I absorb water. There are seals and filter systems built into the suit that allows the water I absorb into the seal to be used as a cooling agent for my body so it does not over heat. Water is slowly filtered to remove any harmful containments so Naruto can drink it without having to carry a canteen. There is a small layer of water completely in the suit that help to keep the suit exactly the same temp no matter how hot or cold it is outside of the suit. Some water is divided into its base elements and of Hydrogen and oxygen. That oxygen is what he is able to breath while the hydrogen is made into fuel for the flight system in the boots."
Jiraiya was actually impressed at this point and said "I can see how that would be usable to snow ninja. Keeping them from freezing to death in the cold, able to detect anyone who is trapped in the snow with your detection ability, In case a ninja fall under the ice into the water they can survive until they get out. The ability to fly allows you to move quickly in water and to get to places quickly. The thrust cannon was to allow the ninja to blow a hole in the ice to escape and the exploding senbon needles are to weaken snow banks for controlled avalanches to keep from having uncontrolled avalanches right."
Eva said "Yes. Those are the original plans by my creator."
Jiraiya said "Alright, I can see how that would be useful to snow ninja and could aid Naruto but what I want to know is what effect will ninjutsu have on him."
Eva said "Fire will try to heat up the suit temp to penetrate the suit but the water in the suit will keep it cool while absorbing the chakra from it as long as water is still inside the suit, water will be absorbed and filtered while still absorbing the chakra up to 5000 gallons total. After that the water is just hitting the suit like water hitting stone. Wind will be weakened by absorbing the chakra in it and any damage done will slowly be repaired. Any section of the suit can stand up to 2000 psi worth of pressure before breaking. Where fire would first have to waste the water in the suit before it could start to actually heat it enough to burn through, water would have to be condensed to increase the pressure over a long period of time on a specific spot in the suit before it could reach him, wind attack would have to work on slowly cutting their way through the suit in a single spot to get through while it is being weakened by losing the chakra making it that much harder to have enough pressure to cut that spot. Earth jutsu are the one true trouble for the suit. Earth would also start losing chakra that keeps it together but if spikes attacks were to hit a spot it would be a matter of if it had enough force to penetrate the suit."
Jiraiya asked "What about lightning."
Eva said "I would absorb the chakra like usual however electricity does pose a danger to me but not Naruto directly. Any electric attacks will instantly drop the stealth shield showing the actual armor and if the charge is more then a stun level the section of the armor will quit working for 60 seconds while the system reboots. The suit is designed for the protection of the person wearing it and the thought of electrical attacks was concerned so the water cooling system for the suit is another way of protecting the user. Any attack able to make connection with the suit would be absorbed by the water and channeled to the feet where it can be harmlessly passed into the ground without harming the user."
Jiraiya asked "What about an electrical attack that hits the entire suit."
Eva said "The suit would be frozen from the attack for 60 seconds while I am reset. The suit would still protect him from the electricity but he won't be able to move."
Jiraiya thought for several minutes and asked "What about assassination jutsu like the Chidori and the Rasengan."
Eva was quite several minutes and said "I have no data on those jutsu. I was tested with a few C and B rank jutsu of all 5 elements that ninja of snow knew and thus is how I am aware of the effects."
Jiraiya said "Well not bad I guess. You have a lot of little surprises that would aid a person however I do see several things that make you a handicap. One is the loss of mobility and speed."
Eva said "Actually besides the initial loss of speed from getting use to me as he has already done then there is none. I was designed so my weight would not crack the ice or snow banks so I am actually very light weight with my weight only being 60lbs total. As for the loss of mobility. As I told you when the entire suit is used it merges together to make it one body. This was done so not to leave any openings, kinks, or weak spots in the suit and in the process actually increases a users mobility by 10 percent. This is possible because I am linked to Naruto brain and I receive the same signals his body does so as his body moves the suit moves with him."
Jiraiya rubbed his chin and said "I see......I have to admit whoever created you was a geniuses at thinking of all possibilities however there are other things that hurt Naruto. I notice that he does not carry shurikens or kunais since he has the senbons. The main thing that worries me is that now he has no actual close range protection from Taijutsu and Kenjutsu as he would have with a kunai."
Eva said "That is because Naruto does not know any close range weapons besides the kunai. I understand what you are saying that even with me he is still possibly vulnerable however what you fail to realize is that I am upgradeable. I was originally designed to be customized to my user. If my user knew Kenjutsu instead of carrying a sword with you at any time you could use the chakra saber or the chakra scythe. I have both devices stored in me currently but until Naruto actually learns to use a sword or scythe then they could cause him to hurt himself just as easily as not which is why I have not gave him those yet. No kunai can get through my armor to him and as for Taijutsu users, Naruto Taijutsu level is far below that it should be currently however once he improves with my protection he will easily be considered hight Chunnin to low Jounin just because it would take so much work to actually make contact with him."
Jiraiya shook his head and said "I have seen Taijutsu masters break through armor like tinfoil and while I admit that you do give him better protection then anything else he will have to improve if he wants to live......though I do have a question. If you are able to protect Naruto as well as you claim then why was his arm hurt so severely."
Eva said "Oh, that is simple. Naruto ordered me to direct all power into one attack to stop Shukaku. When he did I deactivated the safety shock absorbers in his arm that would have reduced the kickback from the thrust cannon to make it feel like he punch a wall instead of breaking the bones in his arm."
Jiraiya sweat dropped and said "Wait....you mean he is hurt because........that idiot. First he foolishly trust a total stranger which could have been an enemy. Then he goes into combat with a new weapon that he does not properly understand how to use....That's it, when he is healed I am so kicking his ass."
Eva said "Question. Do you know anything about human anatomy."
Jiraiya stopped his rant and said "A little, why."
The image of the armor disappeared and then another image of an arm appeared but then the arm zoomed in to show the bones inside it and Eva said "As you can see, the sections in pink are the sections that are nearly healed already thanks to his healing ability however if you look at the red section you will see the reason he is actually in so much pain."
Jiraiya looked at the hologram and he frowned and said "I can see all but that is nearly healed however I do not know what we can do about that. Is this accurate."
Eva said "As of 4 minutes ago, yes."
Jiraiya looked at the arm and said "It appears that the Radius and the Ulna are broke about 2 inches below the elbow and that about an inch of both bones were pulverized into dust.....Is it healing."
Eva said "No. It seems his body can not figure out what exactly is wrong there and how to fix it."
Jiraiya said "I see.......I don't know what we can do for him. For now let him sleep. I am going to seal him into this room while I go out and see if I can gather any info on Tsunade location. Do not let him leave this room for anything and do not let anyone in. Is there anything else you can think of I should know."
Eva shook her head no and Jiraiya said "Good, then let the boy rest and I will see you both later." as he put a seal tag on all the windows and the outside door sealing the room as he left.
