"And all the roads we have to walk are winding. And all the lights that lead us there are blinding. There are many things that I would like to say to you, But I don't know how. Because maybe. You're gonna be the one who saves me and after all. You're my wonderwall!"-Wonderwall by Oasis

Chapter 4: The Date, Progress and Spars!

Naruto having tracked down Kurenai was nervous as he stood in front of her door. Shaking his head he knocked on the door. Kurenai hearing someone knocking on her door hoped that it wasn't her ex Asuma trying to ask her out again. She didn't want to be with him as he had chosen his cancer sticks over her. She opening the door gained a pleasant smile spotting a nervous Naruto standing at her door. She said "I'm glad you found out where I live Naruto-kun now we go out on our date."

She stopped herself from giggling when Naruto's face burned a bright red hearing her actually call their evening a date. Kurenai smiling asked "Shall we?"

He nodding accepted the arm she held out for him and decided to take her to a dinning establishment and hoped that they would serve him. Entering he was about to say something when the owner, a woman with a golden Egyptian headdress on spotted him and said "Oh my Ra. Naruto-sama."

Naruto blinked and looked at the woman who said "I am a worshipper of your mother Naruto-sama. Your meal is on the house and you are always welcome here."

Naruto beamed hearing this and followed the blushing waitress to a table that actually was very secluded and had a bottle of wine on ice. He remembering what Iruka had told him about dates held Kurenai's chair out for her. Kurenai sitting in the chair smiled as Naruto had held her chair out for her, like such a gentlemen. He then sitting down himself blinked when the waitress from before came over with menus and asked "Will you be drinking the Wine tonight Naruto-sama?"

Naruto shaking his head said "No thank you I'd much prefer some orange juice or something like that."

Kurenai said "I'd like the Wine."

The waitress nodding set two menus down and said "Let me know when you're ready to order lunch."

She then left to go get the juice for Naruto and a glass for Kurenai. Naruto opening the menu gained wide eyes as this place was expensive as shit. A plate of fish cost 150 dollars. Shaking his head he decided to get the Shrimp and Lobster plate. Kurenai looking at her own menu remembered what the Hokage told her. This date had better be damn good or she'd be chasing Tora for the next 8 months. She knew it was a much lighter punishment, but she didn't want to have to catch that damn cat for so long. She then decided she would get the Steak and Lobster plate. Sitting her menu down she decided to make some small talk and asked "So what made you ask me out?"

Naruto blushing said "A couple of reasons."

Kurenai curious asked "What are they?"

Naruto blushing darker said "Well first because you seemed like a nice person. Second you're extremely pretty. Third Ayame-chan pointed out to me that I'm apparently a good catch and that instead of going after girls my age I should shoot for older women."

Kurenai quirking an eyebrow asked "So you asked me out to lunch because I'm an older woman?"

Naruto quickly shaking his head said "No I asked you out because you seemed nice and are extremely pretty. I don't care about age as in the grand scheme of things age is irrelevant."

Kurenai blinked hearing him say this and a smile worked it's way on her face as she said "So the fact that I'm your senior by at least 12 years is irrelevant to you."

Naruto nodding said "As ninja we take dangerous missions every day that could cost us our lives, and if love can be established while amongst the living, the age of the two components is irrelevant as Love is timeless and crazy and stupid and blind."

He then scratching his chin said "Well that's what Jiji told me when I was little."

Kurenai giggled hearing this as that was true among all ninja. Their lunches then arrived and the two started to eat, while still making small talk.

Two hours later Naruto having walked Kurenai back to her place after their date was walking along thinking about what he could do as he had some time to kill. He was thinking maybe he should go find Shikamaru or someone and hang out like the old times. His plans were suddenly stopped as Konohamaru appeared and said "Yo boss teach me a jutsu."

Naruto looking at his self proclaimed rival for the Hokage hat pondered if he should or not. He then decided he should as he nodded and said "Alright Konohamaru follow me to a training ground and I shall teach you a new jutsu."

Konohamaru nodding eagerly followed Naruto to training ground eight. Naruto once in the training ground was wondering what he should teach Konohamaru when he got the idea to show Konohamaru the other jutsu floating around in his head. Creating a single shadow clone he had it walk to the middle of the field. Naruto then thinking back to the handsigns he saw Sasuke do for his fireball jutsu, stopped on the tiger handsign. Nodding he started to slowly move through handsigns as Konohamaru watched with eager eyes. When he got to tiger Naruto pulled his hand back and said "Fire Style: Dragon of the Mortal Flame Jutsu!"

He then thrust his hand forward hoping that it would work. His hope was answered as from his hand a huge dragon made entirely of flames shot towards the wide eyed clone. Said clone not wanting to die blurred through handsigns and said "Water Style: Dragon of the Crashing Tides Jutsu!"

The clone then fired off a huge dragon made entirely of water that collided with Naruto's dragon and created a huge cloud of steam. Naruto smiling as his clone had just created another jutsu said "There you go Kono, two for the price of one."

Konohamaru had stars for eyes and asked "Which one will you teach me boss?"

Naruto spotting Iruka behind Konohamaru with a dark aura said "Neither as Iruka's about to drag you kicking and screaming back to his class."

Konohamaru blinked hearing this answer and suddenly blanched as he slowly turned around to find a pissed off Iruka who said "Konohamaru you shouldn't skip out on my class. Now the entire class will have to hear my lecture twice because of you."

He then proceeded to drag the kicking and screaming Konohamaru back to his class. Naruto and the clone both snickered spotting this as it was quite funny. He then turned to his clone and asked "So what am I supposed to do, as sensei dismissed me for the day, I already went on a date with Kurenai and Konohamaru is going to be busy for the next 3 hours."

The clone taking up a thinking pose suddenly gained an evil smile that sent chills down the entire village's spine. The clone looking at Naruto asked "How long has it been since you pranked someone?"

Naruto blinked and said "The last time I pranked someone was when I super glued Iruka to his chair two days before the wave mission."

He then started to rub his hands as he now had something to occupy the rest of his time until tomorrow and he even had his first target. He and his clone then started to laugh evilly.

The next day Yugao having already heard about Naruto's prank spree and having been chewed out by the Hokage for not giving Naruto anything to do knew better now. She spotting Naruto walk into the training ground with a fake innocent look on his face said "Okay I've figured things out. The first thing we're going to do is hone your taijutsu and get as many flaws out of it as possible. Next we're gonna work on your chakra control and several chakra control exercises. Following this we're gonna find out your chakra affinities so that we start building up your jutsu list. Of course with you being the genius you are you'll most likely be making your own jutsu. Finally we'll be working on your sword skills as you're a natural born kenjutsu user, like me."

Naruto nodded each time she spoke, still having the fake innocent look on his face. Yugao then asked "Now that you understand what's with the fake innocent look?"

Naruto then gained a devilish smile as he said "I may or may not have set up a prank for a certain emo avenger and a certain purple haired dango loving woman, along with a certain one eyed smut reading jonin."

Yugao blinked hearing this and knowing who all three were asked "Do I wanna know?"

Naruto shaking his head said "It's best you don't know sensei. In fact we should start that training schedule you set up so I can have an alibi for when the pranks activate."

Yugao sweat dropped and said "Right."

The two then got started on their training, with Yugao participating in said training. Two hours later and the two had just moved to chakra control exercises when a huge explosion shook the village and a loud scream of "MY ICHA!" could be heard throughout the village.

Naruto with several leaves covering his body had a smile on his face as the prank he had set up for Kakashi had just been activated, which would set off the others. Yugao now wearing her sports bra, and also covered in leaves sweat dropped as whatever had just happened sounded serious. She taking a look at Naruto smiled as he seemed to be getting the hang of the leaf exercise. Just as she was about to say something another explosion rocked the village and a loud screech of "SASUKE-KUN!" could be heard through the village.

Naruto chuckled as the emo avenger was now waist deep in fan-girls and was almost completely naked. Plus the seals slapped on the boy kept him from moving. Yugao felt the sweat drop grow, just knowing that this had something to do with Naruto. Shaking her head she said "Alright Naruto-kun let's move on to the water walking exercise."

Naruto nodded just as another explosion rocked the village and Anko could be heard screaming "AH MY CLOTHES ARE ON FIRE!"

Yugao almost face faulted hearing this while Naruto started to whistle an innocent tune. Yugao shaking her head said "Hokage-sama is gonna chew me out for this I just know it."

One week later and team seven was finally meeting again. During this week Naruto had been training hard with Yugao and quickly went up in skill. He had also created over 20 jutsu for each of his elements. Yugao had nearly fainted when she had found out Naruto had an affinity to every element. She did faint when Naruto revealed to her that he had the Mokuton, the Hyōton and the Enton. Once she had recovered she had dragged him to the Hokage's office and made him show the old man. It had been hilarious to watch the old man nearly have an heart attack when Naruto demonstrated his Mokuton by creating a solid wood pipe for him to smoke out of. After that Naruto had gained another sensei in one Yamato and man was he creepy. He had some kick ass jutsu and helped Naruto create some new Mokuton jutsu, but the man was a creep.

He had also gone out with Kurenai several more times and the two of them were officially a couple. Naruto still couldn't fathom how he had managed that. He also found it hilarious that Iruka had called him the man for landing Kurenai. What Naruto had really liked was that Kurenai and Yugao had worked together to get him some more durable clothes, as he didn't feel like walking around in his chakra armor all day. They were the same color and even the same style as before, but now had fur lining the inside that kept him nice and cozy. Yugao had informed him it was help him stay calm in bad situations. Naruto was pretty sure it was because he had created like 12 kenjutsu for his sensei. His hands now had some anbu style armor on them, as gloves or bandages would just be ripped or stained by the end of any fight. It went well with his chakra armor sleeves, as he liked that look and Kurenai had mentioned it have him this knight like quality.

Sitting on his hip was his sword that he had named Alduin, or the World Eater. He had named his sword this mainly because he wanted it to be able to instill fear in his enemies and be the last thing said enemies saw before their world was consumed by blood and darkness. He had honed and refined his kenjutsu and taijutsu. His taijutsu style had been named and it was called Chaos Fist. Yugao had said it fit. His kenjutsu style on the other hand had been named Thu'um. Kurenai had found the term while looking up names for his sword in the library. It meant shout in the language of the dragon. Again it had fit. Another thing that Naruto liked was that he could now play his guitar smoothly and Kurenai had informed him that he could use it to place enemies in genjutsu. His chakra control had also improved, not so much that he could the regular clone jutsu, but he could do some E-rank jutsu.

He had also gotten his first real kiss from Kurenai. It had been after their third date and Asuma had shown up and insulted her multiple times. Naruto had in turn defended her and pranked the hell out of Asuma. Last time he checked the man was still trying to get the green out of his teeth. Kurenai had grabbed him when he walked her home and pulled him into a soul searing kiss that had him seeing southern constellations.(She-Venom "Pierce The Veil song, really good song by the way. Short though.")

Anyways he walked into training ground seven and snickered spotting Sasuke with a very angry look on his brooding face, as his innocence had been forcefully taken by his fan-girls. Naruto cutting his eyes to Sakura blinked as the girl seemed not be paying attention to the resident emo avenger. Kakashi of course wasn't there yet, so Naruto had at least an hour to kill. Closing his eyes he started to meditate and was focusing his chakra to the tattoo on his forehead trying to see if he could get it do anything. He failed to notice Sasuke noticing him. The ever arrogant emo spotting the person responsible for him being raped by his rabid fan-girls glared and said "Dobe."

Naruto easily ignored Sasuke, as he was focused on trying to get his tattoo to do something. Sasuke growling said once more "Dobe!"

Again he was ignored as Naruto was absorbed in whatever he was trying to do. Sasuke now pissed said "DOBE!"

Naruto finally registering the fact that the arrogant emo avenger was trying to get his attention. Cracking open an eye he asked "What is it that you want Teme?"

Sasuke glaring at him said "I know it was you who pulled that prank on me and I will get you back."

Naruto giving him a plain look said "Teme I was training with my sensei when the prank happened. I was nowhere near you when it happened so I find your theory flawed."

Sasuke growling said "It doesn't matter if you find my theory flawed dobe, I know you pulled that prank and I was training with Kakashi-sensei all week."

Naruto rolling his eyes said "Kakashi-no-Echi is only my team sensei. My true sensei has been training with me since we got back from Spring."

Sasuke and Sakura hearing this both blinked and before the now very jealous Sasuke could say anything two poofs of smoke happened making all three genin turn to them. When the smoke cleared Naruto smiled spotting Yugao glaring at Kakashi who was once again reading his smut. Kakashi ignoring Yugao's glare coughed and said "Alright my cute little genin. Today we're doing something very special. We will be sparring with another team."

Sasuke blinking asked "Which team and why?"

Kakashi turning a page in his book said "So I can see just how strong you three are and team eight."

Naruto blinked hearing this as Kurenai was the sensei to team eight, plus Hinata his creepy stalker was on that team. Sakura with her eyes on Yugao asked "Who is that and why is she here?"

Kakashi was about to answer when Yugao said "My name is Yugao Uzuki and I'm here to make sure Kakashi-no-Baka doesn't try to copy any of my student's jutsu, or anyone's jutsu for that matter."

Sakura blinking asked "Who is your student Uzuki-san?"

Yugao smiling with obvious pride pointed directly at Naruto and said "My once in a lifetime genius student is one Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto blushing at Yugao's praise said "Sensei!"

Yugao giggled shocking Kakashi and said "Stop being so modest Naruto-kun and it's so easy to make you blush."

Naruto huffing asked "When will this spar session happen?"

Kakashi eye smiled as team eight walked in the training ground with Kurenai and said "Now."

Half an hour later Naruto was in no way shocked or surprised to find himself standing across from Sasuke, who for some reason had the most arrogant smirk on his face. Kakashi still reading his smut said "Alright this the last spar of the day, and it's Naruto versus Sasuke. I or Yugao will call the match to an end and you will obey our commands."

He then flipping a page asked "Understand?"

Naruto nodding said "Sure Kakashi-no-Echi."

Kakashi ignored Kurenai and Yugao giggling at this and asked "Do you understand Sasuke?"

Sasuke nodding said "I understand perfectly sensei."

Kakashi nodding started the match. Sasuke dropping into his fighting stance and activating his sharingan said "Alright dobe get ready for me to repay you for the stupid prank."

Naruto dropping into the Chaos fist rolled his eyes and said "I already told you that I couldn't have pulled the prank as I was busy training with Yugao-sensei."

Sasuke snorting said "I don't believe you dobe and I'll beat the truth out of you anyway."

He then dashed forward at a pretty good speed. Too bad for him Naruto had been training with Yugao and was easily able to keep up. So blocking Sasuke's punch, he responded with a gut wrenching kick, that sent Sasuke flying back. Sasuke holding his stomach glared at Naruto and asked "How did you do that dobe?"

Naruto eye smiling said "Trade secret teme."

Sasuke growling charged towards Naruto and before long to Sakura's, Kakashi's, Kiba's, Shino's and Hinata's shock Naruto was easily defeating Sasuke and wasn't even struggling to do so. Sasuke now pissed said "Enough playing games dobe. Stop this."

He then blurred through handsigns and to Kakashi's shocked shot a fire dragon at Naruto. Naruto noticing this, put his hands in the tiger handsign and thrust his hand forward. Yugao beamed when Naruto fired his new and improved Dragon of the Mortal Flame jutsu. Now the dragon wasn't the color of regular flames, but was completely red increasing it's power. Naruto's dragon swallowed Sasuke's jutsu up like a midnight snack and was heading directly for the wide eyed Sasuke until it veered off and shot into the sky. Naruto ending his jutsu glared at Sasuke and asked "What the hell teme?"

Sasuke growling was about to go through more handsigns when his hand was suddenly wrapped in chains and he was forced to his knees. Naruto appearing with a kunai pressed to his throat said "Yield teme."

Sasuke snarling grudgingly surrendered making Naruto the victor of the battle. Kakashi shocked that Sasuke had used such a jutsu on his teammate glared at the boy. Yugao on the other hand was literally glowing with pride as her student had easily defeated the rookie of the year. Kurenai with a smile of her own was proud of her boyfriend at not only holding his own, but easily defeating the Uchiha. Kiba with wide eyes asked "Woah Naruto that was all kinds of awesome."

Shino nodding said "That was most impressive Uzumaki-san."

Hinata poking her fingers together said "Naruto-kun."

Sakura was beyond shocked at what she had just witnessed. Naruto walking over to his spot picked up the tag no one had seen him placed and Sasuke felt the chains vanish. Naruto putting the tag back in his pocket smiled and said "Thanks."

Kakashi still glaring at Sasuke said "Alright then. Now that you've all sparred and Yugao can give her evaluation to the Hokage I guess I can give team seven the permission slips for the chunin exams."

He then did so and Naruto looking at it didn't even hesitate to fill it out. Kurenai did the same for her students and Yugao still smiling with pride said "All of you are dismissed and if you're taking the exams show up at the academy and get to room 301 at 10:00."

All three jonin then vanished, but not before Kurenai informed Hinata that the two of them needed to talk later. Naruto once the jonin were gone, decided to go find Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon and teach them some jutsu. He then walked off ignoring Sasuke sending a heated glare at him and Kiba calling out to him telling him to wait up.
