Today I'm going to answer two questions before someone else asks them. These questions are going to be given thorough explanation, so as not to leave the questioners confused.
Question #1: diimortal-
"great story and I can't wait till the next chapter, i've been looking for a naruto was trained by straw hats but couldn't find one, but anyway great story and I can't wait till you update, but wouldn't zoro want him to have his own swords rather then take his, because the white one(forgot the name) was gift from his best friend, and i don't think he would ever give that up no matter what, but anyway till next time ja ne
Answer: One thing everyone knows or should know is that Zoro is a swordsman and, like other real life swordsman, he carries a meito. Now, when a teacher of a sword style (in this case, Santoryu) has successfully taught their prized student everything they knew (and, in rare cases, then some) they usually hand down their meito to their student to show that the student has completed their training under that teacher, almost in a traditional manner. In order to describe how Zolo got his Shuusui from Ryuuma, when facing an opponent who has a meito and winning, the losing swordsman give the winner his meito as a reward for defeating them. And since all three of Zoro's swords are meito, I figured this would work.
Question #2: crackerbox9-
"Isn't Ino's dad a jounin for a reason? he should've been able to fight those brothers off easily"
Answer: Ino and Inoichi are part of the Yamanaka clan, which specializes in Shitenshin no Jutsu and variations of it. As a result, they aren't the best of physical fighters, as they rely on teamwork to stay alive while they are focusing on one enemy or inhabiting the body of one enemy. Key word, ONE. Now, the gang that belonged to the Dou Brothers had, including the brothers, six men. Even if Ino helped, Inoichi wouldn't be able to hold off all of them, since fighting off multiple opponents isn't part of the Yamanaka style. At most, they can handle two. Besides, I wanted to show you guys what Baishuu could do in combat. And I'm the writer, so HA!!

"Are we actually going to do this survival exercise today, sensei?" asked Naruto. "Or did someone mess up again?"
"Don't worry, teme," said Kakashi. "We will do the exercise today. But first, the rules." Kakashi held up a pair of bells tied together by a thread. "These are the objects that you must steal from me to pass. You must each grab a bell if you hope to pass."
"But, Kakashi-sensei," started Sakura. "Aren't there three of us and only two bells?"
"That's the catch," said Kakashi. "The person who doesn't get a bell before this timer goes off," Kakashi lifted up an egg-timer, "get's tied to a training log and goes without lunch, as well as gets kicked off the team."
The trio gulped an looked at each other. However, the look that Naruto gave to Sasuke and Sakura said something different than theirs: 'Something's off here.'
"All right," started Kakashi. "Are you ready? Go!"
Sakura and Sasuke hid behind a pair of bushes. Naruto grabbed Sandai Kitetsu and unsheathed it. He pointed it at Kakashi. "Your gone, Kakashi-sensei." Chakra began to swerve along the blade. Naruto ran his hand along it, and the chakra smoothed out to form a blue coat over the blade. "Itoryu: Hiran!"
Kakashi smiled beneath his mask. "Oooh, chakra conduction, huh? Impressive."
Naruto slashed at Kakashi and a sudden flash of blue fire appeared. "Hitoryu: Katon Kiri!" Kakashi jumped out of the way comically. That was a little too close. Naruto began to run up to where Kakashi was about to land. "Hitoryu: Katon Ushi-Ougen!" He stabbed as Kakashi, who blocked with a kunai, landed. The blade melted through the kunai and Kakashi hopped away.
Sasuke just smirked. 'Nice, Naruto-niisan. You're doing excellent!'
Sakura just smiled widely. She didn't know that Naruto was so strong!
Kakashi glowered. "Enough is enough," said Kakashi. He reached into his kunai packet and pulled out...a book.
"What is that?" asked Naruto, rather awkwardly.
"It is my copy of Icha Icha Paradise, thanks for asking," answered Kakashi, smiling immaturely.
Naruto jumped at that name. "Nani? Icha Icha Para...THAT'S A PERVERT'S BOOK!"
Kakashi frowned. "Thanks, I know can make fun of YOUR reading material when you bring it."
'There's nothing FUN about this,' thought Naruto to himself. He ran toward Kakashi, readying to burn that book of his with another Hitoryu: Katon Kiri. He slashed...and Kakashi disappeared.
"Konohagakure Hiden: Taijutsu no Ougi: Sennen Goroshi!" Kakashi stabbed his fingers up Naruto's rear. Naruto winced for a moment and was pushed forward, several degrees of pain filling his rectum.
Sakura closed her eyes and blushed in her embarrasment and Sasuke just sweatdropped. 'Did Naruto just experience a kancho?' he thought to himself.
Naruto, somersaulting twice in pain in midair, landed in the branches of a tree and bounced out of the tree upside down, a rope tied around his legs. "Oi, let me down, teme!"
Kakashi chuckled to himself. "Seems like you aren't that good."
Naruto smirked. "Oh, really? Well, how do you like me now?" Soon, the current Naruto dissappeared and the real Naruto appeared out of the trees branches.
"Kage Bunshin now, eh? Impressive." Kakashi also disappeared, and the real one grabbed Naruto by the leg. Naruto was thrown back into the tree branches, bungeeing down on another rope, also tied around his legs.
"Nani?" pondered Naruto.
"Heheh...Until next time, teme!" Kakashi disappeared again.
Naruto glowered. "I'll kill you, teme-sensei!" Naruto made the sign for Kage Bunshin and a clone appeared to cut him down. As Naruto fell, the clone disappeared. When Naruto landed, the little Santou got pulled up by a third rope, this time tied around just his left leg. "Ugh! How many of these freakin' ropes are there?!"
Sasuke fled from his leaf-covered post that was the tree top. Kakashi knew that he was there; that's why Kakashi left Naruto to hang upside down. Sasuke wanted to help Naruto, but Naruto had those swords. He just needed to get in the right position, and he could cut himself down. Besides, Sakura could help him.
Meanwhile, Sakura, upon seeing Sasuke leave, fled from her hiding spot as well.
Naruto stared. "S-Sakura-chan! Could you give me a hand?"
Sakura stopped. She looked at him, hanging there like a corpse. She looked at the way Sasuke left. She looked back at Naruto. She repeated this process. Sakura growled. 'I swear, if I can't catch up to Sasuke-kun because Naruto-teme got stuck, I'll be so mad.' She ran up and cut the rope around Naruto's leg.
"Arigatou, Sakura-san," said Naruto as he landed. "Let's go catch Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke."
Sakura nodded and they hopped off.
HHHHHHHHHH
"I caught you, sensei," said Sasuke. He had finally caught up with Kakashi.
Kakashi huffed. "Let's get this over with." Kakashi pulled out a kunai and threw it at Sasuke. Sasuke dodged and threw a pair of shuriken. Kakashi lept out of the way. One of the shuriken hit a tree and cut an invisible line. The line shot a series of kunai at Kakashi. 'Whoa! This kid's incredible! I'll never be able to read the next chapter of my book now!' He dodged most of them and deflected the last one with the metal part of his gloves.
Sasuke smiled. He performed a series of handsigns. "Katon: Goukakyu no Jutsu!" Sasuke took a deep breath and exhaled a fireball.
"Nani?! A genin using Katon?!" Kakashi was soon engulfed by the fireball...or not. When the smoke cleared up, Kakashi was gone.
"Nani?" Sasuke was striken with surprise. He only shot one fireball for five seconds, and his master had vanished! He then looked to the ground to see two gloved hands grabbing his legs.
"Take this! Doton: Shiju Zanshu no Jutsu!" The gloved hands pulled Sasuke down into the earth until only Sasuke's head was sticking out. Kakashi emerged from the ground, proud of himself. "How about that? And there isn't anyone to help you."
"Actually, there is. Us," said Naruto from behind Kakashi. Kakashi lept from surprise, and Naruto grabbed his three swords. "Oni Giri!" He slashed through Kakashi at a high speed. "Sakura-san, get Sasuke out of that pit! I'll hold him off as long as I-" Naruto was interuppted by Kakashi grabbing his arm and forming a hand sign.
For a second, Naruto didn't know where he was. In fact, he was clueless about it. Then, he realized it, he was in bed. It was all just a dream. He stared at his outfit, and saw his day clothes. "...Strange..." He got out of his room and rifled through the pantry, looking for food. "That's even stranger: No food." He got out of the pantry. "Hey, tousan! Where's all of our food?" No answer. "...Tousan?..." Still no answer. He ran upstairs to Zoro's room. It was there that Naruto saw it: Zoro's body, dead and rotting, as well as horrible mutilated.
"TOUSAN!" Naruto ran to his caretaker's corpse, panicking. His heart began to race rapidly, as if he saw the devil. He then shook his head and calmed. "It's okay, calm down. Just go get somebody to help you find out what happened." He decided to go to Sasuke's house. Arriving at the Uchiha compound, Naruto saw no one was there either. He ran up to what he thought was Sasuke, and saw a Sasuke version of Zoro's corpse. "Sasuke-san!" Naruto went to Sakura's home to get help. Corpses there to. He went to the Nara Compound. Corpses. The Akimichi Compound, the Inuzuka compound, the Hyuuga compound even. Dead, dead, dead.
Naruto was getting anxious. He checked every house, everyone was dead! There was only one place to look: The Yamanaka Flower Shop. He prayed that Ino was still there. However, there she was, dead, her beautiful form horribly marred by worms and rot.
That was the last straw. Naruto couldn't handle it anymore. Everything was spinning, spinning, spinning, always spinning. He grabbed Sandai Kitetsu and unsheathed it. He raised it to his neck, ready to slice his own head off. He was just about to cut...
"Naruto!" shouted a familiar voice.
Naruto opened his eyes. He looked around and saw the field were the exams were being held. Sasuke and Sakura were huddled around him. "S-Sasuke? Sakura?"
"Kakashi-sensei put you in a Genjutsu, Naruto," said Sakura. "I was able to release you after a while, but it was strong."
"A G-Genjutsu?" Naruto suddenly grew dark. "A GENJUTSU?!" Naruto unsheathed and snarled. "Sasuke! Move over!"
Sasuke noticed that Naruto was about to slash through him if he didn't get out of the way, so he complied. Naruto snarled at Kakashi. "You damn bastard! Making me see that!"
Kakashi frowned greatly under his mask. 'This...was NOT expected. Nobody usually behaves like this towards the Shaku Otoshiana no Jutsu. They usually cower. But him...he's infuriated!'
Naruto began to charge all three blades with some form of red chakra. He ran up to Kakashi and spun his body around 360 degrees. "Santoryu Ougi...Akarin!" Naruto slashed the air and a red ring tore apart the forest around them.
Kakashi somehow managed to escape. "Whew. This has gotten out of hand."
Naruto cooled off. He stood up in a Santoryu stance. "Sasuke, let's finish this teme."
"Yosh," replied Sasuke. Sasuke grabbed Kakashi by the arms. Naruto grabbed the sheath and prepared to swing.
HHHHHHHHHH
They were ready to do it. They were gonna do it. But, unfortunately, the timer went off, and the trio was forced to go back to the training logs. They all sat in wait for the words 'You failed'.
However, much to there surprise, Kakashi came with a smile. "Well, congratulations. You guys actually did well."
Naruto was confused. "What do you mean, sensei?"
"Isn't it obvious?" asked Kakashi. "The purpose here was teamwork. Not to get the bells. The purpose was to TRY to get the bells from me using teamwork."
Sakura tensed. "That means the whole bell charade..."
"Was to split you up. Correct." Kakashi frowned. "However, it didn't work out exactly like that, did it? As the exam progressed, you all pulled each others wieght, and that was just enough to get you all a passing grade."
"Does that mean-" started Sasuke.
"Yosh. Tomorrow, we begin our first mission. From here on out, under my guidance, Squad 7 is a full fledged shinobi team!" Kakashi gave each of them a dramatic thumbs-up.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Definitions will not be 100% accurate. I don't remember the names off the top of my head.
EDIT: Fixed formatting that was killed, destroyed and raped by Fanfiction's glitches.
Katon: Goukakyu no Jutsu- Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Doton: Shiju Zanshu no Jutsu- Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Technique
Taijutsu no Ougi: Sennen Goroshi- Ultimate Taijutsu: 1000 Years of Death
Itoryu: Hiran- One Sword: Fire War
Hitoryu: Katon Kiri- Fire Sword: Fire Release Cut
Hitoryu: Katon Ushi-Ougen- Fire Sword: Fire Release Ox-Yellow
A 'kancho', for those who are relying on my definitions to understand the Japanese, is basically a Japanese child's prank pulled off in the same matter as Sennen Goroshi. It is believed by a handfull of fans that the Sennen Goroshi is based off of this.
Well, see you all in the next chapter.
