Disclaimer: First Chapter
I didn't say that I was going Naruhina. Don't put words in my mouth. Until I confirm the pairing, don't make assumptions.
Story Start!
Kurenai had to admit that she was very impressed with Naruto right now.
She had been sparring with him for awhile now, and he just had stamina for days. Even 14 minutes into their spar, when she was starting to get a light layer of sweat thanks to her lower stamina,and he could keep up well enough with her abilities. She ducked underneath a kick from Naruto, she would note that his actually Taiijutsu skills were where they needed to be for his rank... but compared to his other abilities they were lacking.
She punched Naruto in the stomach, and he grabbed onto her hand, before he gave her a headbutt in the middle of her chest and she was sent stumbling back.
"Kick his ass Kurenai-sensei!" Kiba shouted out with a wide grin on his face. He was just enjoying the sparring match, though he was unable to look directly at Naruto at the moment.
'He has more physical strength than I do... I would say he has the strength of an experienced Chunin. He must have trained himself raw.' Kurenai thought as she moved back much faster than Naruto. He might have more strength than she did, but she had much more speed than Naruto. She also had better skills in Taijutsu, which she did have up to Jonin level, while Naruto only had his at Genin level.
"Shadow Clone jutsu!" Naruto called out as he created ten clones around her, and they moved together. She grabbed the fist of one as she slapped the other, and using the clone she grabbed she threw it into another two clones, before she kicked off of one clone and chopped the next one. Kurenai pulled out a kunai, before she threw it at a clone, and when it popped she grabbed the kunai and sliced the throats of two clones. Then she saw Naruto and his clone coming at her from both directions, the rest of her vision clouded by smoke.
'He is unpredicable too, his battle sense is keen.' Kurenai thought as she jumped backwards and let Naruto and his clone punch each other in the face. The one on the right popped, while the original groaned and smacked into the ground. He landed on his butt, and rubbed his cheek, pouting at her for that.
"Not fair... heh." Naruto said, before he popped into a puff of smoke.
Kurenai's eyes widened when the smoke behind her cleared away to show Naruto with a Shadow Clone. He used the smoke to make more clones, and hid himself away to prepare an attack. Her eyes widened when she saw that Naruto had a yellow (the color of his chakra) ball of spiralling, infinitely spiralling, chakra condensed into a sphere.
'That is an A-Rank jutsu in difficulty! How did he learn the Rasengan!?' Kurenai thought as she used the Shunshin to replace herself with a nearby log, placing a small illusion around the log to make it look like her for a brief moment.
"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted out, and the sphere expanded and shot off like a canon. Kurenai could tell it was slightly weaker than the Rasengan used by the creator of the jutsu, but that was inexperience with the technique showing.
'Shadow Clones AND the Rasengan, his potential is through the roof. I heard he even had the Summoning Jutsu and could use the Combination Transformation. Kakashi even told me that he created his own A-Rank Taijutsu technique based off of his B-Ranked Naruto Uzumaki Combo and created the Clone Body Blow... another A-Rank technique.' Kurenai thought as she came out of hiding and Naruto looked towards her with shock. He had thought he had gotten her with that one.
"I'll get you this time." Naruto said as his clone started to help him form a Rasengan again, and Kurenai looked at him seriously.
'A C-Rank, 3 B-rank, and 3 A-Rank jutsu all under his belt. That is not even counting that weird Harem technique and the Sexy jutsu. To think he creates so many A-Rank techniques. If he ever masters his power, he really has the potential to be the Hokage.' Kurenai thought, for the first time TRULY seeing the potential that Naruto had to become the leader of the village. Only... 13 years old and he was already created A-ranked techniques that had defeated his fellow Jinchuriki.
Kurenai grabbed Naruto by the wrist when he got in front of her, and the Rasengan cut off midway as Naruto landed on the ground and crossed his fingers.
"Multiple Shadow Clone jutsu!" Naruto shouted out, and Kurenai was surrounded by smoke, and when it cleared she was facing off against over a hundred Naruto clones or more.
'Another A-Rank technique... most of his techniques are much higher ranked than what a Genin should have.' Kurenai thought as she danced around the clones. Naruto's lower Taijutsu ability was making it so that she could predict what he would do, and then counter him that way. She had more ability, so even the massive amounts of clones weren't helping him that much as she destroyed them one by one.
"All Directions Shuriken!" Naruto shouted out as he and all of his clones grabbed Shuriken and started to throw them towards Kurenai. She jumped up high into the air and dodged them, but the ground was literally littered with hundreds of Shuriken.
'More A-ranked techniques! This boy just spams them without feeling fatigued, I shouldn't have told him to come at me with the intent to kill.' Kurenai thought as she grabbed some kunai and wrapped the handles with explosive tags. She launched them down into the army of clones, and placed her hands together. "Boom." Kurenai said as she commanded the kunai to explode, and the explosions were large enough to destroy large amounts of clones... and the shattered earth destroyed the rest.
"Konohagakure Hiden Secret Taijutsu Technique: One Thousand Years of Death!" Naruto called out as he jumped from behind her, and he had his hands placed together with four fingers, two on each hand, pointed towards her butt. Her eyes widened as she grabbed Naruto's hands, and spun him around before throwing him at the ground. She landed on the ground moments later and she was panting a little.
That was a close one, but in a completely different way.
"That was dangerous." Kurenai said lowly as she moved back. Despite the way that Naruto had so many powerful Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, the timing was a little off against her. She blocked his punch, and she was able to note that he had the same level of strength that Kiba had when he was using his Four Legs Technique, and was close to his speed when he was using it.
She had to admit, Naruto had more ability than the Genin on her team, despite how she would rather not admit it he had worked harder than she had trained them.
Kiba using his Four Legs technique increase his Strength, Speed, Agility, and Endurance while also increasing all of his senses, and Naruto had technique Strength to him when he used that technique.
She was impressed, Kiba had the most physical strength on her team.
"This is fun!" Naruto called out as he got down on all fours and grabbed a kunai from earlier, before he flung it up at Kurenai. She grabbed it out of the air, before she flung it back at Naruto. He grabbed another one off the ground, before he threw it and knocked her kunai out of the air. Both of them grabbed a kunai, before they collided and struggled pushing kunai to kunai.
Naruto slowly pushed Kurenai back, but she made a sweeping motion and knocked him off his feet, before she turned him around, pushed him to the ground and sat on top of him. She placed the tip of the kunai at the base of his neck.
"This ends it, you did well Naruto." Kurenai complimented him as she let him get back up.
"Well, that was awesome! Damn, that is my rival alright!" Kiba said as he ran over towards them and slapped Naruto on the back. He was impressed, Naruto was stronger than when he fought against Kiba.
"You were... cool Naruto." Hinata said as she complimented Naruto in her own way. Shino was just silent as he looked at Naruto. Even he was impressed to see how Naruto, the worst person in their class, had quickly turned into one of the most powerful without even a full year passing since they graduated.
"Well, now I know where your skills are. Anything you would like to add when I finish, feel free to do so." Kurenai said as she took out a scroll and opened it up. She made a dry erase board appear over the ground, and she grabbed a marker and drew a circle. She drew a few circles and put all of their names above them.
"What are you doing?" Naruto asked her, and she flicked him in the forehead.
"She is showing us out skills... you know those Ninja Info cards that traitor Kabuto used... well that system is actually used everywhere. It is recorded by our sensei and reported to the Hokage." Kiba told Naruto with a smirk on his face.
"As you know, there are three major types of Ninja techniques that we use. Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu. Ninja are also classified by their Intelligence, Strength, Speed, Stamina, and how well they make Hand seals." Kurenai said as she started to fill in the gaps in the chart and she wrote on which area was which.
"Okay?" Naruto said without understanding her.
"The rank goes from 1 to 5... with 0.5 to 1 being Academy Student, and 4.5 to 5 being Kage." Kurenai said with a smile on her face as she started to write down the rankings for each of them so that Naruto could get an accurate show of where they were all placed at.
Kurenai Yuhi - Ninjutsu: 4 - Taijutsu: 4 - Genjutsu: 5 - Intelligence: 4 - Strength: 2 - Speed: 4 - Stamina: 2 - Hand seals: 4
Naruto Uzumaki - Ninjutsu: 3 - Taijutsu: 2 - Genjutsu: 1 - Intelligence: 1.5 - Strength: 3 - Speed: 3 - Stamina: 4 - Hand seals: 1
Shino Aburame -Ninjutsu: 3.5 - Taijutsu: 1.5 - Genjutsu: 2 - Intelligence: 3.5 - Strength: 1.5 - Speed: 2 - Stamina: 2.5 - Hand seals: 2
Kiba Inuzuka - Ninjutsu: 2.5 - Taijutsu: 2.5 - Genjutsu: 0.5 - Intelligence: 1.5 - Strength: 3 - Speed: 4 - Stamina: 2 - Hand seals: 1
Hinata Hyuga -Ninjutsu: 1.5 - Taijutsu: 3 - Genjutsu: 1 - Intelligence: 3 - Strength: 1 - Speed: 2 0 Stamina: 1.5 - Hand seals: 2
"Hah! I am faster than you!" Kiba bragged to Naruto when he compared their stats, and Kurenai sighed and pinched Kiba's cheek.
"Only when you use the Four Legs Jutsu to enhance your speed and strength, and you can't maintain that speed long with your low stamina." Kurenai lectured Kiba with an annoyed tone at the bragging. Naruto, in a fair spar without Ninjutsu, would actually be faster and stronger, which was why Kiba didn't have room to brag. Not to mention that Kurenai knew that, as Jinchuriki, Naruto could draw out that power and increase his OWN Strength and Speed to higher levels.
"Ow..." Kiba said as he rubbed his cheek.
"Heh." Naruto laughed lightly with a grin on his face. He wasn't bragging, but he was so happy to see how he had grown stronger.
"... Oh." Hinata said as she looked at the lack of improvement she had truly had in her skills. She had gained Chunin-level Taijutsu, but her strength and speed were on the lower end of things.
"You are still young Hinata, not reason for you to worry about this too much. Trust me, at your age these kinds of abilities are very good. All four of you are highly skilled for Genin." Kurenai complimented them. She knew for a fact that Kakashi didn't spend much time on Naruto, so she was curious as to how he was able to get his own skills so high without a proper teacher.
He did have potential, so why was the Hokage placing him with her and not some other more skilled kunoichi that could do the same things she could?
"Yeah, you are pretty awesome Hinata. I mean, next to Kurenai-sensei you are the best at Taijutsu... you also do those... poking things with chakra." Naruto said, and Hinata turned red. Kurenai said to herself, before she nodded and looked at Naruto.
"Back to you, now you would be higher... and you have a few Kage-level techniques, but sadly you waste chakra when you use them and don't use them to their fullest potential. A powerful weapon, aimed at nothing, still does no damage." Kurenai explained to him. It didn't matter how strong his Ninjutsu was, if he didn't hit the target then it didn't mean much. Power was only power when it actually hit something.
"So... Naruto and I are equals?" Shino questioned when he looked at their stats.
"I'm sorry Shino, but your techniques won't work well on Naruto... and he doesn't really use Hand seals. In an actual fight, your need for Hand seals and the type of Ninjutsu you use would hold you back." Kurenai felt the need to let him down gently. Shino's insects drained chakra, but Naruto had way too much chakra for his insects to drain. Naruto could brush them off, and still fight, and while Shino needed to make a few Hand seals, Naruto only needed to make a single Hand seal for most of his techniques.
It was an unfair battle with a type advantage.
"It's okay buddy, I consider all of you my precious comrades!" Naruto said as he gave Shino a pat on the back.
"Well spoken Naruto, said like a leaf shinobi. Now, since Hinata and Kiba use solely Taijutsu-styled techniques for their battle... and Shino uses mostly Bug-Ninjutsu. I am going to ask you, do you know your Elemental affinity?" Kurenai asked as she took out a piece of paper and gave it to Naruto.
"My what?" Naruto asked with a tilted head.
"Fire, Wind, Lighting, Earth, and Water style jutsu. Everyone has an affinity, an Elemental that is easiest for you to learn to use." Kurenai explained and Shino felt the need to speak up.
"I am naturally attuned to Earth, but I am learning Fire." Shino said with a nod of his head in Naruto's direction. He had yet to get a grasp of either of his elements that he was attuned to, and wanted to learn.
"I have an Earth affinity too." Kiba admitted to that himself, but he hadn't been able to really get the hang of his element.
"I have a Fire affinity, but I'm learning Lightning." Hinata admit. It would take her a long time to get the basics of her affinities down, but she was working on them. Technically at the rate she was going it would take maybe 5 years to get it down.
"I actually don't have an elemental affinity, because I mostly use Genjutsu and never bothered learning Elemental Ninjutsu." Kurenai told Naruto. She wouldn't be a good person to teach this to him.
"So, what is my affinity?" Naruto asked her with his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Channel chakra into the paper and find out." Kurenai explained to Naruto, and he did as she asked. She was surprised when the paper didn't crumble or burn like it had with her other students.
The paper split in half.
"What does this mean?" Naruto asked with a surprised look on his face.
"You have the rarest, and the most powerful close combat element. You have a Wind Affinity, there are only a few people in Konoha able to teach this to you." Kurenai said with surprise. She couldn't teach him, she had no idea how to work with a Wind affinity.
Naruto grinned to himself.
"That sounds awesome." Naruto said with a smirk on his face. He was a close combat dude, so learning the wind affinity would be right for him.
"You will have to find somebody else to teach it to you, since I can't do it, and you will have to wait until you are done with kunoichi training and when you aren't on missions." Kurenai stopped his line of thought.
Naruto pouted at her, and she gave him a small pat on the shoulder.
This was almost as fun as teasing him over his clothes.
Naruto had decided to buy something rather simple. Of course, Kurenai had made him go with a skirt, but like her friend Anko he had been able to find a burnt orange color to wear. It was nice, the orange went with him. It was his color after all, and he WAS the child of the Yellow Flash and the Red Hot Habanero. It would make sense for Naruto to go with orange, considering who his parents were.
So, with the burnt orange skirt, he had gone with a short-sleeved hooded jacket with a zipper in the front. The jacket was orange in color, and the top half of the jacket was black, with the bottom half of it being orange. It was a small size, so it did give a little bit of a view at his figure. He wore the hood down, and he had gotten black shinobi sandles, instead of the blue ones or orange ones.
Kurenai on the other hand, had picked some very girly underwear for the boy because she liked teasing him.
She enjoyed teasing ALL of her students.
