Here we are with Chapter Three of NaruToons!

I'm adding a few Bleach characters into this, just so you guys know. It won't be many; at most, four or five.

I own nothing and I hope to leave you all laughing, chuckling, or even simply smiling wherever you read this!


NaruToons

Chapter Four: Tests?! I Hate Tests!


"You all understand why you're here now, correct?" the Hokage asked the assembled Jonin before him.

"I'm assuming it's the Chunin Exams, sir?" asked a Jonin by the name of Gekko Hayate, coughing into his hand for a brief moment.

Nodding, the aged leader of the Hidden Leaf said, "That's correct. And this one will be one to remember since we're getting accepted invitations from both the Hidden Cloud and the Hidden Stone, along with a single team from the newly formed Hidden Sound."

That got the attention of many Jonin since it was no secret that tensions were quite high between their village and both Cloud and Stone. Kakashi, who was surprisingly on time for once, even lowered his infamous orange book to pay closer attention. "I take it that you want some specific Genin to participate?" deduced the silver haired man.

"Nothing gets past you, considering your track record," praised Sarutobi. "Yes, the Council, Clan Heads, and I have all agreed that the newest batch of rookies from the Clans should participate in these coming exams to show off their potential."

Kurenai frowned at this. "Are you sure about this, sir? They don't have much experience out in the field, even if they have done a C-Rank or two."

Anko snorted at that. "I hate to disagree with your call and that of the Clan Leaders, but she's right old man. The only Genin who have the best chance would be Gai's team, that Uchiha kid thanks to his earlier training, and the gaki."

Questioning murmurs filled the room, many people wondering who the "gaki" was while a select few smirked at the identity. Anko though grinned at the shudder Kakashi had and the bead of sweat that went down the side of his head.

Asuma took this moment to throw in his own comment. "I'm not so sure about my team either, pop. I have two of the three clan members needed for one of the best combination teams, and the kunoichi that I have is… Well, she's not exactly motivated."

"I thought I had made it clear that I didn't want to reuse that team combination?" replied the Hokage. "It has been used so many times that the other villages have come to expect it from us. We need to surprise them with something new and unexpected." He regarded the other sensei and continued, "How confident are you in your teams?"

Gai gave his ever famous "Nice Guy" grin as he answered, "Yosh, I have absolute confidence in the youth of my team, Hokage-sama!"

Asuma then answered, "Not very confident. If I was pressed by the Clan Heads and Council, I'd keep them out of it like Gai did at first."

"I'm fairly confident," Kakashi spoke up. "All of my students have good base training, and I was able to teach them how to work together in, at the very least, tense situations. Plus, Kiba is helping Hinata with her confidence issues and she's finally starting to crack open the shell she made."

"Enough to participate without much issue?" pressed the village leader.

"Enough to give it a real effort," clarified the ex-ANBU.

Kurenai frowned at this, still holding a soft spot for the young kunoichi she had practically helped raise. When all eyes turned to her, she sighed and answered, "I'm very confident in my team; and not just because of Naruto. The last C-Ranked Mission we went on really opened the eyes of both Shino and Ino. When we returned, they really stepped up their training and their parents have even told me that they've begun to learn advanced clan jutsu. As for Naruto," at this, she just gave them all a look, "do I really have to give any reasons to vouch for him?"

"I'd like to think so," voiced Genma, chewing on a senbon needle like usual.

Sarutobi was the one who answered. "This information is not to leave this room; is that clear?" Once he got nods from everyone, along with a grin from Anko and a smile from Kurenai, he continued, "Years ago, Naruto had a mental break because of his status as our village's Jinchuriki. From what I and a few of our psychiatrists were able to get from him, he had actually tried to get the Kyuubi to kill him to end it all." Many of the assembled Jonin were shocked at the news, and three people (Anko, Kakashi, and Kurenai) looked somber. "Instead, she – yes, the Kyuubi is female – broke him mentally, resulting in him forgetting practically everything that had once pushed him to that edge."

"But why allow someone who is legally insane to become a Genin?" asked a female Jonin in confusion. "Shouldn't we try and help the kid?"

"Trust me, we did," assured the Hokage. "We sent him to the village's asylum and had many doctors try to restore what had been done. However, while we did, we discovered a…side effect of the mental break."

"Side effect?" Asuma queried.

"Yes, you see while she broke him mentally, she also pushed more of her chakra into his system and to his brain. Because of the excess chakra, and his incredible healing due to his Uzumaki genes, Naruto is able to perform acts and feats that can defy laws of nature. He hasn't shown much, but what we've witnessed is his ability to alter his own form and the surrounding environment to his whim, and these antics even put one of our own psychiatrists in the asylum with his own room."

"His altered youth did that much?" asked Gai in shock, still using his regular style of speaking.

"Unfortunately, yes. But, while he is mentally insane and unstable, he has still improved as a shinobi, in no small thanks to the Kyuubi herself teaching him. If I had to give an estimation, he could easily take on a Chunin, and even give a Jonin some trouble," finished Sarutobi.

The room was silent for a moment, taking all of the information in while Anko stepped forward. "Sir, what about his sessions with Dr. Unohana? I thought she was able to get through to him to some degree?"

"That is true, but she can only do so much. Although, she's currently in a session with him right now."


"What's up, Doc?" asked Naruto with a bright smile as he entered the office of his psychiatrist.

Said doctor was a woman who looked to be in her late twenties. She had calming blue eyes and beautiful black hair that was held in a braid in front of her. She wore a black kimono that had a violet obi and a white doctor's coat over it.

She smiled to him softly as he took his regular place on the couch in her office. "Hello again, Naruto-kun. How are you today?" she asked as she started a tape recorder for their session and pulled out her notepad.

"I'm great! Ever since we came back from our first C-Ranked Mission, my teammates have been working real hard, y'know!" he answered, grinning brightly. "They really want to get better at this ninja thing!"

She chuckled at his enthusiasm. "I'm glad to hear that. But, how are you after that mission? From what I was told, you actually killed some of those bandits. Are you alright after doing something like that?"

"Of course my kit's alright!" roared the Kyuubi from within Naruto. She never liked Unohana and how she tried to get so close to her kit.

"I think so," he answered truthfully, laying down on the couch as she rolled her chair around her desk to sit closer to him. "They were doing terrible things, Doc… I had to stop them, y'know."

"Tell me what they were doing that was so terrible, Naruto-kun," she gently pressed.

"They had these girls all tied up in this tent…and they were so scared and broken…like those other docs said I was."

She frowned slightly, grabbing his hand to reassure him. "Naruto-kun, you are not broken. You have a great being sealed within you, and it-"

"She," corrected Naruto. "She is sealed inside me and she helped raise me…like a mother would."

Unohana nodded at that. "Alright, but those other doctors didn't fully understand the link between you and your mother. So, they thought that you were broken, when you're far from it. If anything, you're just a bit lost, Naruto-kun."

"Lost?"

"Yes, you don't really know what to do with your life right now, so you're lost in a sense. Am I correct?"

"I…think so," he answered, feeling a bit unsure. "I always thought I'd like being a ninja, but I'm not so sure anymore, y'know."

"If not be a ninja, then what do you want to do?" she continued, still holding his hand for reassurance.

"I just…want to make people laugh and not be so sad… Those girls I helped save… They were terrified of me when I came to free them." He frowned and continued, "I hated those looks. I don't want to see people being scared all of the time when they can smile and laugh and…"

"…be happy?" deduced the woman with a gentle smile, earning a nod from him. "You want to help people, Naruto-kun, and that in itself is a wonderful endeavor to try and achieve. In a way, you're doing what I do as a doctor; helping people get through their difficult times and look to a brighter future."

"So…I should be a doctor?" he asked in confusion, earning a giggle from her.

"Not exactly. Keep being a ninja, Naruto-kun, and then you can try and help anyone you meet while you're out seeing the world." She let go of his hand and rubbed his head in a motherly manner that made Kyuubi growl. "Keep being yourself so that you can make others smile and be happy. What your mother has given you is a gift," that made Kyuubi pause in her growling, "and I think you were meant to use that gift to help everyone."

"You think I can?" he asked with a smile, happy to have someone believe in him.

Her smile grew as she nodded. "I know you can. Now, was there anything else?"

To her surprise, he actually looked embarrassed about the next topic and had a blush on his face. "Well…there was this girl…"

"Ara," giggled Unohana, making his blush grow. "Has a young woman finally caught the eye of our resident prank master?"

"Doc!" whined the redhead, making her giggling increase into laughter.

Meanwhile, Kyuubi had her eye on the doctor and frowned. While she, grudgingly, appreciated that she was trying to help her kit, she still didn't like other people try to get close to him. But still, the people who were trying actually cared for Naruto and she felt conflicted. To her, Naruto was like her child – hence why she made sure to have him call her "kaa-chan" – and like most mothers, she was apprehensive about letting go of her child.

Call her possessive, but she was mainly worried that someone would hurt her kit and finally make that final break that makes his fragile mind snap. What she did helped him, but it also placed him at incredible risk and it made her feel responsible for him; much like Hagoromo was responsible for her and her eight siblings.

But, she knew that the people getting close to Naruto – from his team and sister to the woman doctor currently teasing him – actually supported and cared for him. So, she'd let them bond with her kit, but that didn't mean she wouldn't keep an eye on them; especially now that it seemed like her kit was getting his first crush.


Kurenai sighed as she made her way to her team's training field. With confidence, she had nominated her team to participate; but it didn't really matter since the Hokage had practically ordered the nominations of the other rookie teams that had clan children in them.

She was worried mainly for Hinata, having come to see the girl as a pseudo daughter – which resulted in her not having the Hyuuga girl on her team. She knew Kakashi was a great shinobi, but wasn't all that confident in his abilities as a teacher. Not to mention Asuma's team that had, to put it bluntly, a fangirl in it.

But the order was given, and she had to tell her team the news of their nomination. She was hoping to enter the field to see them waiting for her, but instead she came to the sight of something else.

Her redheaded student had nearly a dozen clones in the middle of constructing the frame for what she deduced was a large carousal. Meanwhile, two others – one of which she assumed was the original – were looking over blueprints and other papers. While this was going on, Ino and Shino were off to the side doing their own work with a flower and insect respectively.

Clearing her throat, she got everyone's attention and the original Naruto turned to his brothers and said, "Keep at it, boys!"

Once she had her students in front of her, she handed them some forms and explained, "These are entry forms for the Chunin Exams next week. Understand that it isn't mandatory and you don't need to participate if you don't wish to. I just felt you three were ready to be nominated for entry."

She watched as the three of them looked over the forms and wasn't surprised when Naruto signed his almost immediately. "I'll give it a shot, sensei."

"Same here," Ino agreed as she too signed her form. "Ever since we became a team, I feel like I've gotten a lot better than where I was after graduating the Academy. I want to see how far I've come."

"As do I, and this seems like the best choice. Why? Because we have the chance to display our skills to both our village and other villages," stated Shino as he filled out his own form.

Once all three were filled, Kurenai took the forms and smiled at her team. "I'm proud of you three and how much you've taken what I have been able to teach you. You all have this week to make your preparations, so use it wisely. Shino, Ino, talk to your parents to see if they can keep training you in your clan jutsu, and don't be afraid to ask me for any help." They nodded and she turned to her last student. "Naruto, if you need anything then ask me to help you. Anko will be unavailable since she's been requested to be one of the exam proctors."

The teenage Uzumaki nodded with a bright grin. "I got it, sensei. I can't wait to show the other villages what this loon is capable of!"

Kurenai and her other two students smiled at the Jinchuriki's enthusiasm. "Good luck in your preparations. I'll see you if you need me," bid the Jonin before she left in a swirl of petals.

"Well, I better go talk to daddy," Ino said as she began to leave. "I'll see you two at the end of the week!"

The two boys bid her goodbye and Shino turned to his fellow teammate. "I should leave too. Why? Because father said that he was ready to continue my clan training."

"Better bring your a-game, Bugsy!" called out Naruto as the Aburame left the field. He then went back to assisting his clones on his project, all the while never losing his smile.


It was the night before the Chunin Exams. Over the week, hundreds of people came into the village with many of them being teams and dignitaries from the other villages. The shinobi of the Leaf were diligent in being good hosts and keeping the peace so that no unnecessary fights or disputes happened.

But the resident Jinchuriki of the Leaf didn't care about any of that since he was having a pleasant discussion with the new assistant of Doctor Unohana. The assistant was a beautiful young woman a little older than Naruto who had straight orange hair and innocent brown eyes. She had a well-developed figure with nice curves and no blemishes. Like her mentor, she was dressed in a black kimono, but her obi was a sky blue and she wore no coat over it.

"And to this day, I can't go to the Hokage Mountain without an ANBU watching me in case I do something unethical," said the redhead, finishing his story while the assistant giggled.

"That sounds like you had a great time, Uzumaki-kun," she said. "But I asked if you could take me to Unohana-senpai's office."

He blinked before laughing sheepishly. "Oops! I got sidetracked with my story. I'll take you right now, uh…"

She smiled and gave him a small bow in greeting. "My name is Orihime Inoue, Uzumaki-kun."

"Right! But do me a favor and just call me Naruto. I hate formalities, y'know."

She nodded as he led her to the office, walking in to the doctor going over some files. She looked up and smiled at her new arrivals. "Hello Naruto-kun. And I'm guessing you're Inoue-san. Welcome to my office, and I look forward to teaching you."

Orihime bowed in respect. "I'm excited to learn from you, Unohana-senpai. I'll do my best no to disappoint."

Naruto scoffed at that, earning their attention. "You won't disappoint her, Inoue-chan! You're a great listener and you've got a really nice personality!" The poor young woman blushed at the praise of the teen. "You'll do great! Anyway, I gotta go! Good seeing you, Doc!"

He then walked out chewing on a carrot, which Orihime swore he didn't have on hand before. But what really made her gape and almost give into to her instinctive cuddle side was the fluffy, red cottontail that twitched as the Uzumaki left.

"…k-kawaii…" she whispered, barely resisting the urge to glomp him while Unohana chuckled.


Whistling as he walked down the street, Naruto – without the carrot and cottontail – made his way through the crowded nightlife, heading for the apartment he shared with his sister. His mind was occupied with new ways to entertain people as he walked, and the chibi Naruto team that was made during his Genin Test was reassembled to sort through the ideas; one of them once again being sent to the corner with a dunce cap.

He was so into his thoughts that he didn't hear someone calling to him. It took them grabbing onto his shoulder to break him from his thoughts and see that it was Samui.

"It's not cool to ignore people, Naruto-san," she admonished, crossing her arms to show her annoyance.

"Oh! I'm sorry about that!" he apologized, bashfully rubbing his head. "I was lost in thought, y'know." He then grinned at her. "When did you get here?"

"Yesterday. I wanted to try and find you, but Bee-sensei said it wouldn't be cool to go wandering around alone." She pointed back to the sweets store that her teammates were standing in front of to show she listened to her teacher. "I'm glad I saw you before the exams started. Is your team participating?"

"You gotta ask?" he replied rhetorically, making her smirk.

"Cool. I hope we both go pretty far in them. Also, I can't wait to see what cool tricks you will use on the competition."

His grin grew as he pulled out a small scroll and handed it to her. "If you're really interested, I made a copy of some of my blueprints in case I misplaced my originals. Go ahead and take a look!"

Her smirk remained at his eagerness and she rolled open the scroll, looking over some of his plans. One in particular got her attention. "A carousal? Like the ones from fairs?"

"Yep! I'm gonna have some fun with that one," he replied, leaning forward to balance on a black cane he pulled out of nowhere.

She knew he was giving her a hint and she hummed in thought at what it could be. "I guess I'll have to keep a look out for it, then. It sounds like it'll be cool, though."

"If it makes you laugh, then it'll be ice cold," he joked, making her roll her eyes at its corniness.

She heard Karui calling for her and sighed in disappointment. "Not cool… I gotta go." She then handed him back his scroll, but he grabbed her free hand and had it wrap around the scroll.

"Keep it. I still have the originals, and I want to see if you can guess what I'm gonna do," he said with a smile. "I'll see you tomorrow!"

With that, he ran off, missing her blush at how gentle his hands were when they grabbed hers. Her smirk grew into a faint smile and she held the scroll a bit tighter. "Yea… See you tomorrow…"


The next morning found Naruto and his team standing in a room filled with various Genin from different villages along with a few teams from his home village. He paid them no mind as he looked over his notebook that had all of his pranking plans in them.

"Anyone interesting, Bugsy?" asked the Uzumaki to Shino.

"A few people have higher than average chakra levels, but one in particular is the Sand Genin that has that large gourd on his back. My insects say something's off about him."

"Oh?" Naruto asked as he lowered his notebook and eyed his fellow redhead.

"So, my stupid little brother is here," noted Kyuubi.

'Brother?'

"That would be your uncle, Shukaku. Be careful though, my kit, for he's crazier than you."

'But I thought crazy was a good thing?'

"Not HIS version of crazy," she replied, cutting the connection between them when she noticed that Cloud girl once again coming over to talk to Naruto. 'Break his heart, girl, and I'll use you for a toothpick,' she mentally threatened, even though no one heard her.

Samui tensed as she approached Naruto, feeling a shudder go down her spine for some inexplicable reason. 'What was that?'

"Samui-chan!" greeted Naruto happily, breaking her from her thoughts in exchange for a raised brow at the suffix used with her name.

'Are we already that close?' she mused mentally before she returned his smile with her usual smirk. "Naruto-san," she greeted in kind. "Are you nervous?"

"Nah, I'm confident in my abilities. How about you? Feeling cool," she blinked when she saw a frost cloud come out of his mouth, "about today?"

She blinked again before shaking her head in amusement. "I'm feeling cool."

They would've said more, but Ibiki Morino, Head of the village's I.T. Department, came in with about a dozen Chunin proctors and had the Genin all take seats. Naruto found himself sitting next to a Hidden Sound kunoichi that had really long black hair and a Hidden Stone kunoichi that had interesting pink eyes.

The first test was presented as a written exam, and they had three chances before they were cut from the test. Naruto's chibi debate team argued as the rules were said before the one in the dunce cap corner spoke up. "It's a test to see how well we cheat!"

All of his brothers froze at the deduction, going over the rules once more before they all looked to the dunce brother in shock. Then, as one they all pulled out their own dunce caps and sat in their own corners while the original dunce brother sat at the head of the debate table with a grin.

Once Naruto figured out what the test was, he grinned and had his chakra create a massive explosion of smoke. Once it was cleared, the Genin, Chunin, and Ibiki all took note of three individuals at the front of the room.

On the left was an anthropomorphic black duck with orange fins and beak and a white line around the collar. On the right was an anthropomorphic gray rabbit with white fur on its stomach, feet, and mouth area along with white gloves. In the center was a short, bald man in tan clothes, dark brown boots, a tan and red hat, and a strange weapon in his hands. (1)

Samui blinked at the scene before fighting a laugh at seeing something like this in the notes Naruto gave her. Naruto himself used the distraction to take the paper of the Genin in front of him while no one was looking; even though Ibiki knew something this strange could only have been made by the Uzumaki.

"Shoot the rabbit!" yelled the duck with a notable lisp. "It's Rabbit Season!"

"Duck Season," shot back the rabbit, and the obvious hunter then looked to the duck.

"Rabbit Season!"

"Duck Season."

"Rabbit Season!"

The rabbit twitched his brows upward twice, showing he had a plan as he said, "Rabbit Season."

"Duck Season!" shouted the duck, unaware he had been duped.

"Rabbit Season."

The duck had had enough and said, with finality, "I say it's Duck Season, and I say fire!"

The hunter looked to everyone else in confusion before he aimed his weapon at the duck, who stuck his tongue out at the rabbit. The following was the sound of a BANG, followed by a spark, a blast of fiery gunpowder, and then the duck's head being revealed from the resulting smoke with his beak somehow on the back of his head.

With a bland look, he moved the beak back into place on the front of his face, stepped up into the rabbit's face, and then said calmly with his lisp, "You're despicable."

After that line, all three vanished in three plumes of smoke and many Genin were struggling not to laugh or giggle at the simple trick used on the duck. Ibiki then looked at the clock and revealed the start of the final question. Along with the reveal was an extra rule saying that if a Genin refused to take the question they and their team forfeit from the exams. However, if they take it and get it incorrect, then they can never promote to Chunin.

Naruto rolled his eyes at that and leaned back in his chair, getting raised brows from the two kunoichi on either side of him. The Sound one was confused while the Stone one perked up in realization and smirked before copying the Uzumaki and leaning back in her chair.

Samui and her team realized the trick quickly, even though Omoi had a conspiracy theory running through his mind, and sat calmly. Many teams gave into the pressure, however, and quit. After letting the Genin suffer in their paranoia for a good five minutes, Ibiki revealed that they had passed and that the final question represented a kind of choice they might have to make as Chunin on missions.

Before he could answer any questions, Naruto grinned and shot up before leaping over to the front of the room just as a bundle crashed in through the window and unfurled to present Anko in all her glory. The bundle wound up being a banner that read "The Second Exam Proctor, Anko Mitarashi", but Naruto added a sticky note that said "And her looney younger brother, Naruto Uzumaki".

She stood with a predatory grin and arms crossed while he sat perfectly balanced on his black cane and grinned as well; though his was more along the lines of giddy than predatory.

"Alright you maggots," began the Special Jonin, completely aware of the fact her brother was also in her spotlight, "there's no time for celebration! Now move your asses and follow me to the next Exam!"

The Genin, Chunin, and Ibiki all sweatdropped at the duo while Kyuubi snickered, Samui smirked, and Naruto's teammates were unfazed since they had grown used to the loon's antics.


1~ If you don't know who these three are, and yet you chose to read this… then shame on you (-_-)

And there's the next chapter for you! Like I said earlier, I'm adding about four or five Bleach characters and you saw two of them in this chapter!

How was it? Was it funny, or was it kinda stale? I want your honest opinion so that way I can improve on the comedic factor, people! Also, I might need a bit of help on the romance as well…

Here's my issue: should I keep it as Samui and Konan as the two women for Naruto, or should I switch Konan for a different girl (Kin, Kurotsuchi, or Shizuka)? I'll let you guys and gals decide!

One other thing: I'm thinking of doing a Hobbit crossover and pairing Naruto with Tauriel. Thoughts? Concerns? Let me know!

One last thing: please check out my profile page for a url address! Just Copy/Paste it to your url search and check it out, please! My friend would like your support!

Later!
