Naruto Uzumaki: Shinobi Master, Tamer Extraordinaire
Written By: Rave Rose of Twilight
Warning: I don't own Naruto or Pokegirls. I also want to tell you, my faithful readers, that this story will not be lemonless. I simply didn't wish to make the true first chapter with one, thus leading others to believe that this, much like other Pokegirl stories, are only glorified written porn. Lemons will be spread out thoroughly throughout the story. Do not worry.
Chapter Three: Graduation Exam: The Fake Test From Mizuki and a Surprising Enemy!
Months had passed and the rankings fluctuated regularly. Naruto retained his number one rank in Pokegirl Studies while Sasuke Uchiha, the last of the Uchiha Clan, had retained his number one rank in Shinobi Studies. While no longer the Dead Last in his Shinobi Studies classes, Naruto ended up ranking ninth, just above Kiba Inuzuka and Shikamaru Nara, but just under Ino Yamanaka.
Naruto started training his ninja techniques harder than before and even began to exercise a lot more and for a lot longer in hopes of improving his natural ability. While he did understand he had so many Blood Gifts to help him out, it appeared that only a few were active at this point in time, such as Stamina x6, Longevity, Empathy, Regeneration, and Fast Healing x5. His Vulpine Aura had yet to act up since he hadn't seen many Vulpine Pokegirls around the village, though that wasn't odd since the villagers tended to chase out fox-type Pokegirls without hesitation. They were still afraid of them and wouldn't attack them, but that didn't mean they wouldn't chase them away.
Of course, he knew he showed signs of his Pokegene Stage 1 curse. His eyes and whiskers were all a part of this. He also knew he had Tamer's Disease and Wanderlust, which some confused with ADHD because he would never seem to be able to sit still for long. Harley was helping him deal with his Tamer's Disease, though their love for one another wasn't a result of it. They genuinely loved to play pranks with and on one another. After a successful prank, Harley would get incredibly horny and that would lead the two to having sex. The bigger the prank, the hornier she got. One big prank, like the one on Hokage Mountain, would practically insure she would want him to ravage her.
However, if they did lots of little pranks, it would also get her in the mood, though at a much slower rate.
Now, however, Naruto was feeling nervous. It was Graduation Exam Day and Naruto had proven to be incredibly bad at written tests except when they involved Pokegirls. It was an odd quirk of his, but nothing that would hamper him in his goal of becoming a Ninja Tamer. Considering he'd mastered the jutsu the Elf Queen gave him as part of their deal, he wasn't too worried about failing the Shinobi portion of the test. While he was nervous, he believed he could pass the tests and become a Ninja Tamer. If not, he could be content with being a simple Tamer, but with the massive amount of chakra he had, he knew he would make a better Ninja Tamer than a standard Tamer.
As the students filed into the classroom, Naruto noticed Iruka and Mizuki were standing in the back by the chalkboard while their Pokegirl teacher, a Supe-Bra Genius by the name of Kaname, stood behind the desk with a stack of tests in one hand while she adjusted her glasses with the other.
"Alright, students," she said clearly and sternly. "As you all know, this is the day you take the Graduation Exams that will determine what you do in life. Because most of you want to be Tamers of one sort or another, you will be taking the Basic Tamer's Test before the Shinobi Exam. In order to become a Tamer, you must pass this test with a 70% or higher. Those who achieve a 90% or higher will be allowed to have 3 Pokegirls in their Harems instead of the standard 2. Do your best and if anyone is caught cheating, they will automatically fail the test. I WILL be watching each and every one of you to make sure you don't cheat."
As soon as Kaname-sensei had finished passing out the tests, she drew a stop watch and pressed a button, signaling the others to flip the tests over and start. Naruto's eyes skimmed the questions and filled in the proper answers. Sakura Haruno was doing the same as she skimmed over the questions and put down what she believed to be the right answers.
It was about an hour later that Kaname-sensei clicked the button as the stop watch started to beep, signaling that time was up and the test was officially over. Only three students had been caught cheating and were removed from the class by the irate Supe-Bra Genius and told to go home, since they only elected to become Tamers. As she passed the desks to pick up the tests, she was already beginning to grade them by skimming over a few of the answers on each test to determine how the student did. While some students left a few blank spots worth nothing, others wrote down clearly wrong answers and Kaname felt herself groan as she read some of the more ridiculous answers.
"Now, while I grade your tests, Mizuki-sensei and Iruka-sensei will be giving you the Shinobi Exam. Once the Shinobi Exam is finished, I'll inform those remaining how they did and will give you a badge with the Leaf Symbol on it to signify your grade. Those with 70%-89% will get a silver badge while those with 90% or higher will get a golden badge. Tamers and Shinobi Tamers must have this badge visible when in the village, though you may hide it when on missions higher than D-Rank unless you are on a Tamer Mission. On those types of missions, you must present your badge to the client and wear it in a clearly visible area. So until I have graded your papers, will all students who only elected to become Tamers leave the room immediately while the Shinobi and Shinobi Tamers take the Shinobi Exam."
Several civilian students left the room, leaving only a handful of civilians and the clan heirs and heiresses to take the Shinobi Exam. Kaname left the room for the Teacher's Lounge while Iruka stepped forward with a stack of tests. "As of this moment, each of you has decided to serve your country and village by becoming Shinobi and Kunoichi. Because of the requirements, this test will be divided into three portions. The Written Exam, which you will take in a few moments, the Taijutsu and Physical Exam, which is the second test, and the Practical Exam also known as the Ninjutsu Exam. Just because you pass the first and second tests does not guarantee your becoming a ninja. In the same reasoning, just because you fail one or two of the tests does not mean you won't become a ninja. The mandatory tests that you must pass with a certain amount of points are the Taijutsu and Ninjutsu Exams. All of the knowledge in the world cannot help you if your opponent is stronger than you."
"Iruka-sensei is correct, however, all of the might in the world cannot help you if you just barge into an opponent who can outsmart you, so a certain amount of points in the Written Test are also mandatory," the white-haired teacher said. "Now, as Iruka-sensei passes out the tests, do not flip them over until you hear us tell you to do so. Much like the Basic Tamer's Test, you will only have an hour to fill out as many answers as you can and any cheating will get you expelled from the room with an automatic fail on the Written Exam."
Once the tests were passed out, Iruka clicked on the stop watch again, signaling the students to begin their tests. Naruto's head was down and he was reading the questions carefully before writing his answer. While he could remember the answers to some, he had to force himself to remember the details of other questions in order to answer them correctly. By the time 45 minutes had passed, Naruto was almost done. Luckily, he wrote the final answer just as time ran out and flipped his paper while breathing out a sigh of relief.
As Iruka collected the papers, Mizuki led the students out of the classroom and to the Taijutsu ring out back. The students had guessed that Iruka passed the tests onto Kaname-sensei, his starter Pokegirl, to grade because he arrived moments later.
As Mizuki read off names, the fighters entered the ring and fought one another for either five minutes or until someone was knocked out of the ring. Depending on how well the students fought, they would be given a score that would be added to their Written Test score.
Kiba went up against Shino, who won using superior tactics rather than the brute force the Inuzuka were known for. Ino went up against Hinata and came out victorious because of Hinata's Non-Combatant Blood Curse. Sakura fought Ami and won, which shocked the other students since it was well known that Sakura wasn't the best when it came to fighting. Shikamaru went up against Chouji, but ended up forfeiting because he was incredibly lazy and he tended to suffer from a mild case of the Non-Combatant Blood Curse.
"Sasuke Uchiha versus Naruto Uzumaki," called Mizuki with a smirk. In all of their time in the Academy, Naruto never beat Sasuke in a sparring match before.
Then again, Naruto wasn't trained by Elves before. Zelda was especially tough on him when they trained together.
The two met in the middle of the ring and immediately Naruto could tell Sasuke was the favorite to win. That suited Naruto just fine. He preferred being the underdog...or underfox, as the term might suggest. Sasuke's coal black eyes looked down upon him as though he already knew the outcome before the match started.
"Go, Sasuke-kun," called several girls from the sideline.
"Just forfeit, dobe," Sasuke said arrogantly. "You don't stand a chance."
Naruto narrowed his slitted blue eyes and entered a fighting stance. As expected, once Iruka started the match, Sasuke shot off with the intent of ending the fight quickly. What he didn't expect, however, was for Naruto to dodge his fist aimed at his face and for the young blond-haired boy's foot to plant itself into the Uchiha's abdomen. Sasuke felt his breath leave his lungs as he was forced to bend over until Naruto delivered a crushing roundhouse kick to his head, sending him flying out of the ring.
Iruka, Mizuki, and the other students looked on with shocked faces as Iruka hesitantly raised his hand. "Winner: Naruto Uzumaki!"
"No way, Iruka-sensei," shouted Sakura. "He must have cheated somehow!"
"Yeah," backed Ino. "There's no way the Dead Last could ever beat Sasuke-kun in a fair fight!"
"Then where did I cheat," Naruto asked coolly. "When my foot found itself in Sasuke's gut or when I kicked him clear across the ring? He didn't trip. He didn't slip and fall. I didn't even throw sand in his eyes. He underestimated me. Because of that, I won."
"Why don't you just admit you cheated, Naruto-baka," called Sakura. "Everyone knows you did. Sasuke-kun would have wiped the floor with you."
"Everyone was saying the same thing about your fight with Ami, you know," Naruto growled. "When that match was called, everyone told themselves that you were going to lose. But even someone like you, who has no aptitude for physical conflict beat someone everyone thought you would lose against. So why can't I? Hm?"
"Because you're the Dead Last," the pinkette shouted.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Whatever," he said before following the rest of the class back to the classroom.
This was the last test, but probably the easiest because the requirements to pass were taught early on in the Academy. For Naruto, however, this test had been virtually impossible for him to pass simply because he couldn't reduce his chakra output enough to make the illusionary clones possible. Hopefully, that would change soon with this technique given to him by his friend, Mitsubi.
As names were called, students went into the Teacher's Lounge and either came out disappointed or wearing headbands with smiles on their faces. Finally, Sasuke had been called back and came out with a headband and a smirk on his face.
"Naruto Uzumaki," called Mizuki as Naruto was already halfway across the room.
"Don't choke, Dead Last," called Kiba, getting a good laugh out of those remaining in the classroom.
"Take a bath, Mutt," Naruto called back before entering through the door.
As Naruto stood before Iruka, Mizuki, and Kaname, Kaname walked forward. "Naruto Uzumaki," she said with an authoritative tone. "Regardless of the results of the Ninjutsu Test, I wish for you to know that you got the highest score on the Basic Tamer's Test and have earned the right to become a Tamer. You got a 97% on your test, only missing one question and have earned the Gold Leaf Badge." Naruto gratefully accepted the badge and placed it on his chest.
"Now, all you have to do is perform the Transformation Jutsu, the Substitution Jutsu, and the Clone Jutsu," Iruka stated.
Naruto nodded and began to perform handseals. "Transform."
In a puff of smoke, Naruto had turned into a perfect copy of Kaname-sensei, even down to her adjusting her glasses with her dominant hand. The only problem was that she now had brown slitted eyes and whiskers on her cheeks. If anything, Kaname thought Naruto's transformation was incredible, in spite of his Pokegene Stage 1 Blood Curse interfering with it.
"Very good, Naruto," Iruka stated. "If you were standing side-by-side at a distance, I wouldn't be able to tell which of you was real. However, if you ever need to do the Transformation Jutsu, make sure to use some makeup on your whiskers to keep others from telling the difference." Naruto nodded. "Now, perform the Substitution Jutsu."
Without warning, Mizuki threw a kunai at Naruto's chest, only for it to imbed into a log covered in wire and paper. "That's a good job, Naruto. Those tags could just as easily have been Explosive Tags and, were Mizuki-sensei an enemy ninja who got too close, he would have been critically injured by the blast and splinters," called Kaname, causing Mizuki to frown in anger. "All that's left is the Clone Jutsu."
"Excuse me, Iruka-sensei, but I can't perform the basic Clone Jutsu because I simply can't reduce my chakra output enough to make them, but I did learn a different kind of Clone Jutsu, if you would accept it," Naruto stated, stunning the trio of teachers with his declaration.
"Alright, Naruto. Let's see what kind of Clone Jutsu you learned," Iruka said.
Without hesitation, Naruto formed his fingers into a cross shape before expelling enough chakra to make a blue aura around him. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" In a puff of smoke, surrounding Naruto were eight perfect clones. Kaname walked up to one of the clones and poked it in the shoulder. "Ouch! That hurts, Kaname-sensei!"
Kaname then walked over to another Naruto and poked it in the shoulder as well, getting a similar reaction. "Stop jabbing me, Kaname-sensei! It really does hurt!"
"I know! It's like her finger is a kunai, right?"
"Yeah!"
Before either of them knew what happened, Naruto knocked their heads together hard enough that they dispelled. Naruto then held his forehead as a wave of pain entered his skull like a dagger being driven deeper into his skull. "Damn it! That hurts like hell!"
Kaname-sensei smirked and pushed up her glasses. "I do believe this to truly be the Shadow Clone Jutsu. Only it and its more powerful form, the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, could give its user such feedback. It really is remarkable of you to be able to use such a skill when even most Jonin can't perform it to the extent that you are or will be capable of."
Iruka smiled. "Naruto is the only person who could hope to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu as a way of becoming a One-Man Army," the scarred Chunin joked. "You pass, Naruto-kun." Mizuki was about to hand Naruto a headband, but Iruka stopped him. "You've done surprisingly well, Naruto-kun. Close your eyes, please."
Naruto did as his sensei asked.
"You can open them again," he said. When Naruto opened his eyes, he spotted Iruka twirling his goggles around on his finger and missing his headband. Moving a hand to his forehead, Naruto could feel the old, worn metal of his sensei's headband wrapped around his head.
"I think you've more than earned that headband, Naruto. Don't you, Kaname-chan," Iruka stated before wrapping an arm around the Supe-Bra Genius, who blushed furiously.
"Of course, Iruka-kun," she said. "Naruto's worked hard for his dream. I only find it fitting that he wear your first headband considering how alike the two of you are."
Naruto smiled and nodded before heading out of the Teacher's Lounge with a smile on his face. His Gold Leaf Badge and headband in plain view for anyone to see. Everyone was stunned and Sasuke was seething. The Dead Last had a Gold Badge AND his headband while he only got a Silver Badge and his headband! After humiliating him in Taijutsu combat by knocking him out with two blows! It was unbearable!
Naturally, when Iruka and Mizuki appeared back in the class with Kaname-sensei, several people were crying out in a rage. How could a 'baka' like Naruto get a high enough score to get 90% or more on the Basic Tamer's Test? He can barely perform the Clone Jutsu without summoning zombie clones, so how could he have passed the Shinobi Exam. Naruto must have cheated, like he did when he fought (and humiliated) 'Sasuke-kun'! These were just the most common complaints, but all of them were dismissed by either Iruka-sensei or Kaname-sensei with reasonable proof and explanations, though several students thought Naruto was just given a pass because Iruka-sensei and Kaname-sensei actually liked teaching him and answered his questions rather than ignore him or send him out of class for being a distraction.
"Those of you who have passed either the Basic Tamer's Test, the Shinobi Graduation Test, or both...congratulations on your accomplishments," Iruka stated with a large smile. "From this point on, you are legal adults in the eyes of the village as well as members of the military. You will be expected to go on missions with your squad or Harems and to do your duties to the best of your abilities. You will be expected to fight, kill, and even die for the sake of your village. These people are now your comrades who will depend on you and who you will depend on in turn to watch each others' backs. From this point on, you are no longer just Academy students, but Genin and Tamers under the rule of our esteemed Hokage. Be proud and do your village proud by becoming stronger and stronger as you serve Konoha with distinction."
"Tomorrow, all of those who passed the Basic Tamer's Test will receive their starter Pokegirls from the ranch at a discounted price of only 500 ryou. After that, you will pay full price if you decide to exchange your Pokegirl for another one or simply wish to increase your Harems. Remember, only Tamers aren't restricted to the limit that Ninja Tamers are allowed in their Harems, but they can only have six Pokegirls on their person at a time. As Ninja Tamers, you can only gain more slots for your Harem by getting promoted to the next stage and fulfilling certain requirements. Those of you with Silver Badges can carry two Pokegirls while those with Gold may carry three," Katase stated.
"If you wish to keep a Pokegirl as a pet, you are free to do so, but you will be expected to take care of it. This Pokegirl pet will not be allowed in your Battle Harem, but they can travel with the Tamer or Ninja Tamer on missions provided they aren't used in combat. Typically, this is checked by the Gate Guards for those returning from missions. If your Pokegirl pet has leveled up by seeing combat, then there can be a fine taken from the mission's reward. The only reason a pet will be allowed to level is under extenuating circumstances such as it was left at the home of a client who was attacked and needed to fight in order to keep the client safe or to keep itself safe. While rare, this particular circumstance has happened before, but this doesn't mean you can simply leave your Pokegirl to protect the client as though they were in your Harem. If this happens, you will be fined. If it happens and you lied about it, you will be fined heavily and may face either jail time or your pet may be removed from your care. Both if the offense is a common occurrence."
The students all nodded. "Now, in addition to the basic 6 members of your Battle Harem, as it were, and your pet, you can apply to take a test and pay a fee to allow you to capture Pokegirls and either keep them as backup members of your Harem in your house, if you have the room, in a local PC attached to your Tamer ID located in almost all Pokecenters, or in a private PC located in your house which is also attached to your Tamer ID. Anyone can gain access from the local PCs in the Pokecenters, but only the Tamers themselves can access a private PC at ones home. This can run the Tamer up to 5,000 ryou and the test is nothing like the Tamer's Tests one takes to be promoted or improve ones Tamer Rank. It's far more difficult and the Tamer must prove that he can handle the responsibility of having more than 6 Pokegirls and their pet before they are allowed to pay and take the test. If a Tamer has a Pokegirl in the box for more than 2 weeks without switching the Girl out for another in the Harem, then Konoha retains the right to remove the Pokegirl from the box. If this happens too often, then the Tamer in question will have all of their boxed Pokegirls removed from their custody and their ID will not grant access to the Box System when typed into any local or private PC. The Tamer will not be reimbursed for lost Pokegirls or box privileges, though the Tamer may also reapply for permission to use the Box System again with a larger fee after a year's time from the last date their Box System was active. If box privileges are cut off too many times, then the Tamer ID will be removed from the Box System and be placed on a black list. Those on the black list will never be able to use the Box System again."
Everyone around paled and nodded. This was new information to them and they needed to understand the consequences for their actions. "Now, you are all dismissed. Tamers and Ninja Tamers will come back at 0800 tomorrow morning to get their starter Pokegirl, though I understand that some of your clans, Inuzuka-san, Yamanaka-san, and Aburame-san, will allow you to get a starter from your clan's ranches. You will still be allowed to pick one from the group that will be brought in tomorrow morning."
"You're dismissed," Iruka called. "Go celebrate with your family and friends, but don't stay up too late or you might end up being the last to choose your starter."
The kids all left the room and met their parents out front. While everyone was being congratulated by their parents, Naruto was greeted to the sight of Harley, his best friend and lover, the Blessed Trixie. Her bright orange jumpsuit matched his own almost flawlessly and she ran forward and greeted him with a massive hug. "I knew you could do it, Puddin'! You're Naruto Uzumaki! The best damned Tamer in Konoha and Future Hokage!"
"Damn straight, babe," he said before sharing a firm, yet heavy kiss with the Pokegirl version of him. "And...I got some good news from Onee-chan."
Harley's eyes widened a bit. "What did she say?"
"Well, aside from the fact that she knew about only one Uzumaki woman who lived in Konoha aside from Mito Uzumaki, she's allowed Zelda-chan and Aeris-chan to become my starters. The other Uzumaki's name was Kushina Uzumaki. I can't seem to find her name anywhere, though. Onee-chan would never lie to me, so Kushina Uzumaki had to exist at some point in Konoha." Naruto's brows furrowed in frustraton. "I can barely get anything out of the history books except for some Eternal Alliance Konoha had with the Uzumaki of Uzugakure no Sato in Whirlpool Country and Mito Uzumaki marrying Hashirama Senju because of it."
"Don't worry, Puddin'. We'll find something on this Kushina chick," Harley said. "Besides, we'll also need to visit the ruins of Uzu when we get a chance. I'm sure they'd have some info you're lookin' for."
Naruto smiled as he and Harley walked back to their apartment hand-in-hand. "You always knew how to cheer me up, Harley. Say...how about one last prank. You know. One last hurrah before we don't have time for pranks anymore because of training and missions." Harley grinned with a sparkle in her eye.
"You got something in mind," she said with a mischievous grin.
Naruto's grin matched that of Harley. "Oh yeah. This is gonna be bigger than the prank on the Hokage Mountain we pulled off. All we need is a plan and some gear, but we can plan it tonight before bed."
"Naruto," shouted a familiar voice behind the blond duo. The two turned around and saw Mizuki running toward them, trying to catch his breath. "I've been looking all over Konoha for you, Naruto. You see...in spite of your spectacular performance on the Graduation Exam, you didn't make enough points on your test to counter your bad grades and you'll have to return Iruka-sensei's headband to him."
Harley's blue eyes narrowed at the teacher's declaration. Naruto raised an eyebrow, knowing that this was a lie without having to guess. "That sucks. Oh well. Being a Tamer isn't too bad. I'm not restricted to the Pokegirl limits that Ninja Tamers are, so that's kind of a good thing. I just can't practice Ninjutsu anymore. Not that big a loss, if you ask me. Thanks for telling me, Mizuki-sensei. I'll return my headband to Iruka-sensei tomorrow morning when I get my starter." As Naruto and Harley turned away to continue to go home, Mizuki's eyes widened.
"Wait," he shouted. "I know of a special test you can take to keep Iruka's headband, if you're interested."
"Nah. I think I'll be just as happy as a Tamer than a Ninja Tamer. Thanks anywas," he said before turning to leave again.
"Don't you remember that Tamer's can't become Hokage," Mizuki said, hoping that Naruto would change his mind.
"I remember. I just don't give a shit," Naruto said with his eyes lazily looking at Mizuki.
"What if I told you that I'd give you one of my personal Pokegirls if you manage to pass this test and become a Ninja Tamer," Mizuki said, causing Naruto to stop on a dime and making Mizuki smirk. "All you have to do it 'steal' a copy of the Forbidden Scroll of Sealing and learn just one Ninjutsu from it. If you show me the Ninjutsu and give me the scroll, I'll let you keep your headband and one of my Pokegirls."
Harley looked at Naruto, but she could see the shimmer in his eye signifying he had a plan. "Alright, Mizuki-sensei. I'll do it."
"Good. However, this test is being treated as a Top Secret Mission. Nobody can know about it, not even Hokage-sama," Mizuki stated before handing the young man a piece of paper with times and other information on it. "This is a list of schedules and rotations that the guards will go through. Just remember: don't get caught."
With that, Mizuki disappeared in a swirl of leaves while Naruto smirked. "So what's the plan, Puddin'?"
"The plan? Well, I'm going to tell Jiji first and foremost. Secondly, I'm going to steal the scroll and learn a jutsu from it. Thirdly, I'm going to beat Mizuki's face in, turn him in to the ANBU and Jiji, and take one of his Pokegirls, as we agreed," Naruto said with a smile. "Besides, Mizuki just made the biggest mistake of his life just now." Harley raised an eyebrow. "He trusted a loudmouth prankster like me to keep his yap shut!"
The two laughed as loud as they could before heading to the Hokage Tower.
Later that night, Naruto was stalking a couple of ANBU guarding a room where his target was located. With the speed and skill he learned from living on the streets, the young man swiftly shot between the two, cracked the lock, and made it into the room where the Forbidden Scroll of Sealing was located. Once the door was shut, he began to approach the scroll until he spotted a single letter with the Uzumaki clan symbol in crimson wax sealing the envelope shut. Without hesitation, he took the letter and the scroll before disappearing into the night through the window located nearby.
It took only a minute or two for Naruto to reach the spot he and Hokage-jiji had agreed to set the ambush. Naruto unrolled the scroll and began skimming through the jutsu listed on it. Raikiri, Dead Demon Consuming Seal, Summoning: Impure World Ressurrection, and other dangerous and deadly techniques were listed, but they didn't interest him. As he skimmed, one jutsu did catch his eye...or more precisely...two caught his eye. One was known as the Great Clone Explosion while the other was Shuriken/Kunai Shadow Clone Jutsu.
The Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu was the easier of the two to master for him. It was significantly harder to learn the Great Clone Explosion since he didn't seem to be able to create an explosion bigger than one that could be made with a simple explosive tag. He made a note to himself to practice it more later when Iruka showed up, surprising the young blond because he was expecting Mizuki instead.
"Naruto," Iruka shouted. "Do you have any idea what you've done?!"
"Mizuki told me that I didn't have enough points to pass the Shinobi Exam and I'd have to give you back your headband, Iruka-sensei," Naruto said with a sad tone. "Then he told me about this secret test that would allow me to keep it! He said if I could steal the scroll, he'd let me keep your headband, provided I learned a jutsu from the scroll."
"There is no test like that and I know for a fact that you made enough points to get your headband in the first place," Iruka stated. Without warning, Naruto grabbed Iruka by his waist and pulled him back when a pair of glowing purple claws slashed down where he was.
Naruto's eyes widened as he looked upon the enemy Pokegirl before his eyes. "YOU!"
The Pokegirl in question looked up at Naruto with a frown and a growl. "So you managed to survive all this time, you little urchin. I'm going to enjoy killing you for what you did to me!"
"What I did to YOU," Naruto shouted. "You damn near killed me the last time we met, but I've changed since then. I'm a hell of a lot stronger than the kid you tried to eat seven years ago."
"So you two DO know each other," called Mizuki's voice from one of the trees nearby. The Pokegirl growled at Mizuki, but her rage at Naruto far surpassed her anger at her 'Tamer'.
"Stay out of my way, Mizuki," she growled. "I'm going to end this brat's life once and for all!"
Mizuki chuckled. "Go ahead, Panthress," he said in a haughty tone. "Once you've killed him and Iruka, I'll take the scroll and we can finally leave this village for good."
Naruto's eyes narrowed. "So you're the Panthress that's been killing the Elves of the forest. I'm going to thoroughly enjoy beating the crap out of the both of you."
"Not alone, you won't," called Zelda as she appeared beside him with Aeris not far behind. Aeris now had a large staff in her hands while Zelda had twin daggers nestled in her palms. "This bitch has been causing nothing but suffering for Mistress and her servants and she's incredibly dangerous and dangerously intelligent. She's a Fiend-type Panthress, known for their intelligence more than their brute strength, osu."
Naruto looked over with a smile. "Thanks, Zelda."
Zelda scoffed. "If you died fighting this lowly Panthress, Mistress would personally kill me for not being here to keep you safe, osu."
"Well, that and she'd likely revive me only to kill me herself, dattebayo," Naruto said with a chill running down his spine.
"DON'T IGNORE ME," shouted the Panthress as it charged forward with its claws poised to strike quickly. One claw was blocked by a glowing black dagger while the other was blocked by a kunai held in a reverse grip.
"Don't you know it's rude to interrupt another person's conversation," said Naruto coldly as he and Zelda pushed the claws away from the Panthress and landed a synchronized kick to her unguarded ribs, sending the Girl crashing into a tree with an angry look on her face. "Are you sure she's a Fiend-type and not a Berserker-type, Zelda?"
Zelda nodded upon noticing the black feline calm down significantly from what she appeared to be at first. The Panthress smirked.
"Just seeing you got me so riled up, I lost track of myself," she said in a calm, yet clearly psychotic tone. "Thanks for giving me time to calm down. Without that, you might have stood a chance against me." Her claws glowed black, but she blended into the shadows with ease.
Naruto closed his eyes and slowed his breathing down a bit. He couldn't hear much, but his hearing had gotten slightly sharper now that he was focusing on it. The sound of claws cutting the air behind him made him duck and launch a roundhouse kick behind him...only to strike nothing. Zelda activated her Dark Goggles and began looking around for any signs of the Panthress. When she saw the Panthress poised to kill her sister, the blond-haired elf charged forth with all of her available speed and took a blow meant for Aeris. Her leather top now had five claw marks going through it, revealing portions of her breasts to the chilled air, but the leather was so thick that blood wasn't drawn.
"ZELDA," Naruto shouted as he rushed to the Elves' sides. "Are you alright?"
Zelda grunted as she tossed the scraps of her shredded leather top to the forest floor, revealing a pair of perky B-Cup breasts to the world. "Aside from needing to make a new leather top, I sustained no direct damage. This bitch, on the other hand, won't be so lucky."
Naruto and Zelda narrowed their eyes while Aeris stood, clutching her staff with both hands as she nervously looked around for the Panthress. "Zelda, prepare your Dark Blade Mk II and a Dark Shield in your hands. Aeris, I need you to focus on the forest. When I give you the word, I want you to use Command Plants on the trees and have them wrap Mizuki's Panthress up with their roots. Okay," he whispered.
Zelda nodded and drew a dagger, which began to glow a deep and angry black while a round shield of dark energy wrapped around her arm. Aeris nodded and closed her eyes while entering a meditative stance. "So what do we do now, Naruto," whispered Zelda as she looked around through her Dark Goggles.
"For now, we protect Aeris until backup shows up," the young Ninja Tamer stated.
Iruka watched from a bush as Naruto and the two Elves fought the superior opponents while Mizuki simply watched with a wicked smile on his face. It was clear that the Panthress had the advantage against the trio and even if he did bring out Katase, it wouldn't change the fact that Panthress was a superior Pokegirl when compared to the two Elves, Genin Ninja Tamer, a Supe-Bra Genius, and a Chunin. Fiend-types were especially dangerous since their minds weren't clouded by rage and they could strategize against any enemy they came up against.
"And what kind of backup should we be expecting," Zelda asked with a hiss as she swung her blade at the blur Panthress seemed to leave behind as she ran around them and through the trees to confuse them and perform hit-and-run tactics.
Naruto smiled as his eyes got used to the darkness and a kick he launched at Panthress clipped her in the side of the leg, dislocating the knee and sending the speedy Pokegirl tumbling until her back was against a tree.
Mizuki frowned. "Get up, you useless whore," he shouted, causing Naruto and the Panthress to growl, though only Panthress seemed to want to get up and rend the treasonous Chunin's neck from his shoulders while Naruto would be content to beat the living Hell out of him. "You can't even beat a Genin! You're pathetic!"
"Aeris, now!" When he said that, the roots of the trees erupted from the ground and ensnared the Panthress, binding her tightly against the tree with no chance of escape. "HARLEY! FLASH FOLLOWED BY QUICK ATTACK!"
Mizuki looked confused for a moment until Harley appeared before his eyes, hanging from the tree upside down before a white light covered her body, causing Mizuki to close his eyes in pain and forcing him to fall from the tree. Harley soon capitalized by shooting downward and crashing her feet into Mizuki's testicles...which popped when their combined speed and his sudden impact with the earth below created a crater in the ground.
"Tada," the clown girl shouted with a flourishing wave of her arms.
Naruto held up a card with a 10 on it. Zelda gave it a 9. Aeris gave the performance a 10 also. Oddly enough, Iruka appeared beside Aeris and held up a card that read 6.5.
"6.5! What was wrong with that performance, Teach," Harley asked with an offended tone.
"Erm...you could have crushed his ribs instead of rupturing his balls. I had to take off points for that."
"But he would be dead instead of temporarily crippled and unable to move while able to be interrogated by ANBU," Zelda stated firmly. Iruka nodded.
"Yes, but under the current circumstances, we have his Panthress in custody, thus we wouldn't need him," Iruka replied, getting Zelda to nod in understanding.
Mizuki chuckled in spite of being in so much pain right now. "Why are you even siding with him, Iruka? He's just a fucking monster. The same one that killed your parents!"
"No, Mizuki," Iruka said sadly. "He's just a kid who got dealt a bad hand in life."
"Why do you insist on protecting that thing," Mizuki shouted. "He's just the reincarnation of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox! A murderer! A monster! An abomination among people like you and me!"
Naruto looked down and his hair shadowed his eyes. "Is it true, Iruka-sensei? Am I really Kyubi?"
Iruka shook his head. "Of course not, Naruto-kun. Long ago, the Fourth Hokage had been forced to seal Kyubi into you. You are no more Kyubi than Mizuki is a saint. You are simply its jailor. A cell that contains Kyubi's power and soul."
Naruto walked over to the laughing lunatic and his cold slitted blue eyes looked into Mizuki's own eyes. "Shut the Hell up, you fucking bastard. Your jokes suck!" With that said, Naruto sent a powerful fist flying into Mizuki's jaw, breaking it and knocking the former teacher out. Naruto looked back at Iruka with a cheesy grin. "Is it wrong that I've always wanted to do that to him?" Iruka shook his head.
"I think we can let that slide considering the circumstances," the teacher said, the trio of Pokegirls acknowledging that. Naruto bit his lip and looked back towards the Panthress who was sitting quietly while bound by roots. "Iruka-sensei," Naruto started. "Do you think you can take Zelda, Aeris, and Harley with you to return the Scroll and Mizuki? I've got some...last minute business to attend to."
Iruka nodded before hoising Mizuki's bound body over his shoulder while Aeris carried the scroll before taking off. Once the four were out of sight, Naruto walked over and sat down besides the Panthress, who growled lightly at him.
"What do you want," she asked rudely. "Come to gloat? Maybe kill me yourself?"
"It must really hurt," Naruto said simply as he looked into the leafy treetops overhead. "To hear someone you care for abuse you like that. To truly believe that you're useless. It really fucking sucks."
"How would you know," the Panthress snorted.
"Remember those things Mizuki said to me earlier," he asked. She nodded. "Imagine hearing that every day of your life growing up from people you don't even know. To hear them whisper Monster or Demon behind your back while trying their hardest to pretend you don't even exist. To feel like your life is a waste because you grew up all alone. That was my life up until I turned 8, when I met Zelda and Aeris, but even with their friendship, I could still hear their whispers and feel their glares on my back when they think I don't notice."
The Panthress winced. "I hated them all. I wanted to sit back and watch them burn in the hottest fires imaginable. I wanted to kill them...just to get the voices to stop. Even now, a small part of me still wants nothing more than to watch Konoha burn to the ground because of what they've done to me growing up. No friends except for Pokegirls I met. No family because Kyubi, in all likelihood, killed them during her rampage against Konoha."
"How did you deal with it," she whispered. "How did you deal with all of that pain and loneliness on your own?"
Naruto smiled. "I didn't. I could never hope to escape it on my own. When I met Zelda and Aeris for the first time, I felt so happy. When they brought me to meet the Elf Queen of the forest, I finally felt like I wasn't an outcast. An outsider looking in. So I wanted to get stronger. Not to protect Konoha, but to protect my Pokegirl friends. Then I met the Ichiraku family, Teiuchi and Ayame Ichiraku, a father-daughter team of restauranteurs who own a really good ramen stand in the village. They treated me like family the first time I met them. Then came Harley, that Trixie you just saw kick Mizuki's ass in two moves. I was playing a prank on some people who treated me like a disease and she asked if she could join in the fun. She didn't know who I was or where I was from. She just wanted to play pranks on people with me."
"Those people dragged me out of the darkness when I couldn't see the light," he stated. "People like you and me...we're a lot alike, but we also have our differences. You never got a chance to see how wonderful humans can be. The only person you could base humanity and men on is Mizuki and we all know what he's like."
Naruto placed his hand on the Pokegirl's shoulder, causing her to flinch at the contact. "So do you want to see that light in the tunnel of darkness," he asked, extending his hand out to her as the roots began to unravel around her. "I can show you, if you're willing to give it a shot."
Panthress bit her lip before nodding and taking his hand. His chakra flowed into her body from his hands and she could feel a deep, budding warmth spread throughout her body as it began to react to his chakra. Her black fur turned a deep, brilliant orange-red except for some stripes that ran down her back. Her breast size reduced from an E-Cup to a healthy D-Cup and stood at a height of 5 feet 9 inches. Her body was perfectly toned, but wasn't masculine-looking due to overly large muscles.
When the Panthress felt Naruto's hands release her, she looked down into her hands and saw they were now orange-red rather than jet black. Even looking down at her tail seemed to bring a happy reaction from her. "I'm a Tigress again," she whispered to herself before looking back at Naruto in shock. "How?"
Sadly, even Naruto himself seemed confused with the de-evolution, but not sat or upset about it. In fact...he seemed quite glad to see how beautiful Panthress/Tigress was...
...or maybe he felt that way because her fur was orange and not because she was physically beautiful, which she was.
"I'm not sure, but can you say it's an unwelcome surprise," he asked with a small smirk. She shook her head before wrapping the blond in a hug that pressed his head into her voluptuous breasts. This resulted in a young man who had a nasty nosebleed as the furry, naked Pokegirl continued to smother him in her busom.
"No," she said with a chuckle. "If anything, this is like having a second chance to make up for the things I've done in the past because of Mizuki." Naruto nodded as the two of them laid down and stared at the blowing leaves from the forest floor. "Hey, Naruto?"
"Hm?"
"Would you want someone like me in your Harem," she asked boldly. "I mean, if you don't then it's cool, but I'd really like it if we could spend some more time together. As partners. After everything I've done to you and your friends, though, I would understand if you just want to Level 5 me."
"Are you kidding me," Naruto stated, causing Tigress to frown as tears began forming in her crimson eyes. "I'd love to have you as a member of my Harem! I'd say you're a little weaker than Zelda is because of your de-evolution, but with some training, I have no doubt that you could become stronger than you were as a Panthress! Did Mizuki-teme give you a name?" She shook her head. "Okay then. Hmm. How would you like to be called Samara?
The newly named Samara smiled and nodded with a light blush. "I think it's a beautiful name. Samara the Tigress. It's got a good ring to it."
"Yeah. It really does," Naruto stated before realizing Samara was now straddling his body with a hungry look in her eyes. "And you need to be Tamed, don't you?"
His only answer was Samara kissing him with a furious passion.
Warning: Lemon Ahead
Naruto, mildly confused by the sudden rush of Samara, continued to kiss her while searching for somewhere to Tame his newest future Pokegirl and spotted a cabin used by Tamers who were searching the forest for feral Pokegirls to join their Harems. He led her to the cabin and opened the door before entering and kicking it shut again.
Her claws tore off his shirt while Naruto rid himself of his pants...if only to have something left with which he could walk home with some dignity either that night or tomorrow. Samara shoved him onto the bed before dissecting him with her hungry, lustful eyes.
His chest was well muscled from years of exercise and training, leaving no room for baby fat. He had long, well-toned legs and shaggy, wild blond hair. Samara pounced on him, grinding her body against his and feeling his every muscle tense beneath his skin. His hands cupped her D-Cup breasts as his thumb and finger teased her nipples while Samara moaned in ecstasy as her fairly sensitive nipples were sending waves of pleasure through her body, a sign that she hadn't been Tamed in a long time.
Their lips collided once again as Samara forced her hands into Naruto's boxers and pulled his hardened member through the fly. Her snatch was thoroughly moistened as her eyes fell upon his 8 inch long sword and she licked her lips before moving her head down to the tip of his hardened member and kissed it before dragging her rough tongue over the base and back up to the tip before placing her lips around it and bobbing lightly.
Naruto's body twitched as a new wave of pleasure flew through his body as her rough tongue wrapped itself around his penis while she gave him a blowjob. He could feel himself bottoming out in her throat as the bobbing became faster and faster with each passing moment. Within fifteen minutes, Naruto could feel himself begin to climax and grabbed Samara by the back of the head and shoved the rest of his sword in her throat before finally cumming. Her eyes were wide as his semen swished around in her mouth as rope after rope flooded her mouth and throat before his member finally stopped twitching in her mouth.
She pulled her head off of his and swallowed the thick substance while licking any strands that escaped from her lips and swallowed that as well.
"That was delicious," she moaned as Naruto's mouth assaulted her left nipple while his right hand began to gently rub the right breast.
"That was just the appetizer," he said, motioning to his still hardened member. "Harley can usually last three rounds before passing out. Let's see if you can do better than your other future Harem sister." Without warning, Naruto flipped Samara over on the bed and began to rub the tip of his sword against her vagina, eliciting deep moans of both pleasure and anguish until he unexpectedly and suddenly thrust himself deep within her, causing the Tigress to let out a loud scream.
"I'm a fighter, Naruto-kun," she said between moans as he began to thrust in and out of her slowly and picked up speed with every passing moment. "I've got stamina to last for days!"
"Then let's test that theory," Naruto cried as he picked up the pace.
Samara was moaning in pure ecstasy as, with each swift and powerful thrust, she could feel her mind losing focus and her eyes threatened to roll into the back of her head. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth as he roughly grabbed her breasts and began kneading them in the palm of his hands as she wiggled her hips and met him thrust for thrust. Even her tail was swishing about, though somehow it managed to not swat Naruto as he continued to plow the horny Tigress with fervor.
She'd already cum a few times already and even he could feel himself slowly losing control of his endurance as he prepared to release yet another load into the Pokegirl. "I'm about to cum," he warned her.
"Do it," she said. "Cum inside of my horny pussy!"
With one final thrust, he could feel himself achieve a much needed release into her womb, filling the Tigress to the brim and then some. He pulled himself out of her and watched as his cum began to slowly drip from her pussy. With the energy he expended, he felt himself collapse beside her on the large bed in the Taming Cabin and looked over at her smiling face.
"You know," she started. "You were the first person to ever treat me like someone. Like I actually belong in this world."
"That's because you do belong," Naruto said. "Every living being has a right to exist, regardless of their origins. Demons. Humans. Animals. Plants. Pokegirls. All of these living organisms was brought onto this Earth for a reason. Because of this, they all deserve to have the same rights as we humans do. The right to exist. To find love. To procreate and bring new life into the world. These rights are the most basic, yet also the ones taken for granted by a vast majority of the world at large."
Samara giggled to herself before using her feline flexibility to lick his leaking cum from her cunt until it had stopped and started straddling his member while placing her hungry pussy at the still hardened tip of his sword.
"I think I'm ready for another round right now," she said with a sensual growl. "How about you?"
"I'm ready whenever you are, babe," he said.
End Lemon
After three more rounds of mind-blowing sex, the two were content to sleep in the Taming Cabin for the rest of the night before heading back into town in the morning to early afternoon.
Neither of them were aware of the onlookers that were hiding in the trees.
"That was...odd," said an elderly man as he looked down to the cabin below. "Do any of your Pokegirls know Dark Redemption?"
Almost all of them shook their heads, but only one nodded. "My Sorceress knows the technique, but she did not cast it on the Panthress."
Everyone nodded, knowing that none of their Pokegirls had been out to witness the event in question. "Perhaps this is one of Naruto-kun's Unknown Blood Gifts," the elderly man now known as Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, remarked. "He had only one that did not have a designated name."
"Do you believe his Chakra has the same properties as the Dark Redemption technique," asked a masked individual with silver hair that stood up straight. Hiruzen nodded.
"That would make the most sense," he said firmly. "The Uzumaki clan, before they were wiped out, were renowned to have unique Chakra. No single Uzumaki has ever had the same Chakra type. Kushina was able to create chains with hers, so why can't Naruto's have properties similar to the Dark Redemption technique?"
"He's certainly turning into a very unique person," commented a man with jet back hair and matching beard who was smoking a cigarette. "He knows more about Pokegirls than most of the teachers do and he was able to, with some assistance, take down Mizuki and a Panthress with some semblance of a strategy."
"Yes," said the female with deep ruby eyes. "He seems to be the kind of person who makes strategies on the fly rather than plan out an encounter ahead of time."
"That's a very useful skill out on the battlefield," Hiruzen stated. "To be able to easily adapt to any situation that may arise is a skill very few Shinobi or Tamers currently possess."
"Not to mention his ability to seduce Pokegirls to his side," called the masked man with a perverted giggle, causing the ruby-eyed woman to glare at him.
"No," Hiruzen stated. "He wasn't intentionally trying to 'seduce' the Panthress. I think that...because of how he lived in Konoha and his experiences, he was able to understand her and what caused her to become what she did."
"Do you think he'll be able to do the same to other dark evolutions, like Penance," asked the female.
Hiruzen nodded. "I have no doubt about it. Naruto seems to be able to connect to Pokegirls with dark pasts. Harley, his friend Trixie, was one such Pokegirl. Abused by her Tamer because all she wanted to do was play pranks and have fun. She ran away from him with her Pokeball until she stumbled upon Naruto-kun. If anything, I have to say that I'm not sure who is to blame for his prankster nature: Harley or Kyubi?" Kitsune were infamous for their ability to prank any unsuspecting person who upset them. Harley, on the other hand, was born a natural prankster and likely taught Naruto most of what she knew about the art. "But that doesn't matter at the moment. What we just witnessed is currently labeled an S-Class Secret. If other people discovered Naruto's numerous Blood Gifts and his Dark Redemption Chakra Nature, there's no telling who would try something as foolish as the Kumo delegates when they tried to kidnap young Hinata Hyuga."
The masked man nodded in approval. He wouldn't let anyone touch his sensei's son. Not without going through Hell first. Still, there was no doubt that anyone who got Naruto on their Genin Team would almost instantly pass the team because of his ability to work in tandem with his Pokegirls and the strength to keep his teammates and their Pokegirls safe as well.
"We'll discuss Team Placements tomorrow," Hiruzen said. "We are all, no doubt, feeling quite tired after this ordeal."
Everyone nodded one last time before disappearing into the night.
Tomorrow was going to be rough.
