So far as the harem goes, it's a draw at three to three, meaning that I might allow Naruto a three way if a girl gets enough votes, also, another thing to add to your oc is sex preferences... yeah, strange to ask, but there are girls who prefer girls, and guys who prefer guys, then there's bisexual people... with all this dirty talk I might as well bump this fiction up to M and put in a sex scene... 'blink' 'blink' I could, but why would I? None of you would like that... I think...although considering what goes on in today's schools and businesses, I would be shocked if you found a ten year old who didn't know about adult activities... did you all know that about 40% of today's perverts who get on the net, are actually minors? Not a very good fact huh? Well either way, one vote per reader, and here's the pole
against-3
for-3
Tenten, Ino, Temari-1
So as you can see, there is a draw, and draws equal a no, I am allowing you all to vote on this, and honestly, I actually agree with the one who said he doesn't think I would do it right, considering I would end up making Naruto play favorites with Hinata... but either way, I left it up to you all... and I will only use a maximum of two girls in it, so the three separate votes for InoTemTen would actually count those three out... so in a way its four for no, but the pole will end when I put the next chapter up, and also expect my rightful heir to be updated soon as well, I've been busy overpowering the ocs in there... but honestly, with Naruto, how hard is it to draw a picture? All Naruto had to do is learn what symbol did what, and that ain't very hard for anyone really... so in a way I ain't overpowering him... enjoy the chapter...
===in the woods===
"Kakashi, you are the worst teacher I have ever had to deal with"
Kurunai was nagging at Kakashi... Why you may ask? Kakashi said they were gonna learn to climb trees without their hands... Where is the problem? He should already have taught them that...
Kakashi should also have mentioned to Sakura about the risks of being a Kunoichi, but he also neglected to mention anything about that either, and so team eight was stuck teaching them all about the life of a ninja.
Kiba mostly looked bored considering his mother already taught him the risks, but Sakura was seaming worried, cause she had no one to tell her about the risks, while Sasuke's parents died before they could give him an actual lesson on it...
"Normally the sensei would have demonstrated the risks to you all, but since he didn't, we shall. My team will assume the role of an enemy team, and actually attempt to do to you what a real enemy team would do, although if they take it too far, me and Kakashi will jump in and bring the battle to a stop. Ready? Begin!"
Naruto began by rushing head on into Sasuke, thrusting his staff forward orb first, he nailed Sasuke in the gut, effectively making him bend over holding his gut, while Hinata rushed forward and took Sakura down in a few well placed hits, and then grabbed her and dragged her over to Shino, who hadn't moved, as they both tied her up.
Kiba looked on bitterly, as his team was taken down and taken hostage, and it was only half a minute into the match, were they really this far behind? Kiba was answered as Naruto jumped back to his team and shadows began to wrap around Sasuke and dragged him over to team eight's side, and Kiba just smirked.
"It looks like it's up to us Akamaru... Akamaru?"
Kiba was never answered as he looked at Akamaru who was being held over with team eight by insects...
Kiba looked shocked, and he became scared when Naruto spoke as if he actually were the enemy.
"And so the enemy gets to unlock the secrets to the sharingan, and even rebuild it in our village, as well as disect the dog in order to figure out how you care for it, in order for them to become as powerful as they are, and then we can beat some answers about Konoha's defenses out of this girl, maybe even have a bit of fun with her."
Sakura looked scared, Sasuke looked pissed off, and Kakashi seemed disappointed.
Shino then decided to speak in order to use a different tactic than Naruto.
"Maybe if the girl tells us of the defenses of Konoha, without any trouble, she can be the one who begins the Uchiha clan in our village?"
Hinata giggled.
"well it would be you doing it to her if she decided to give us trouble, so it would be more your choice"
Sakura looked ready to cry, Sasuke looked ready to try and bite Naruto's ankles... squirming and glaring were anything to go by... though they assumed allowing Sakura to rape the boy would be a bit harsh.
Kurunai saw this as a victory for her team, and so she decided to end Kakashi's suffering.
"Alright team, release team seven" they all were released, Akamaru whimpering back to Kiba, Kurunai continued.
"Why did team eight win?"
Sakura answered
"Naruto surprised us with his speed, the he took down our strongest member, than Hinata used that instant when my guard was down to strike, and easily captured me, Kiba took too long to react, and in doing so, Akamaru was lost to the enemy, considering he was still focusing on Naruto. Shino took advantage of Kiba's shock in order to snag Akamaru."
Sasuke took over from there
"And with Kiba's power down to half, and the enemy with hostages, he had no chance"
Kurunai nodded before lecturing them.
"That was a possible outcome of a real battle. There have been cases where a kunoichi has been taken, tortured, and raped, all because of the fact that she is a female with knowledge others want. That is also a way that other nations have obtained bloodlines Sasuke. And Kiba, when you are facing multiple enemies, you should trust your comrades, you should have rushed Shino in order to lower their numbers, though with how things went with your teammates, you would have had all three of them on you, though you might have caught Naruto's attention enough to allow Sasuke some breathing space, and then it would have been you, Akamaru, and Sasuke trying to save Sakura. In other words, there was plenty you each could have done to improve your chances of winning. First thing is being stronger than what you are. So since my team has proven how powerless you actually are when facing danger, improve, and next time, try not to lose so quickly, and one day, you may just win"
Karunai lead her team away, and allowed team seven to do the tree climbing training, while several members of team eight remembered a very ugly scene of a similar act in which they had to deal with, on a mission that went completely wrong...
And from there on, Kakashi knew he had to become more serious with his team, hoping they could actually become more than what they were.
===time skip, week after they began to stay at Tazuna's===
Inari had seemed to developed a crush on Hinata, proven by the fact he followed her almost everywhere, and got jealous whenever Naruto ended up with his hands all over her during a spar, and then he accused him of doing it on purpose, (which was true but Naruto never admitted it... Hinata never admitted she always left herself open so it could happen either... though Kurunai and Shino both knew...) in which Sakura called Naruto a pervert, and everyone watched as both Naruto and Hinata argued against her... and considering Naruto was being accused of touching Hinata in the wrong way, the argument became moot when she defended him...
Kurunai in turn said 'if neither party says it was on purpose, then it was an accident, and Inari is a third party in this, so that makes his statement mooted' needless to say, Inari was already losing his crush to an older stronger boy, just like he did his puppy, although it was hard to compare the two situations, he still thought the situations were very much alike, and in some terms they were, though he was not being bullied by Naruto, he just had a crush on a girl that was already in a relationship with said older boy... though they didn't really act like it... confusing the boy greatly.
Though the common question they asked was 'who was Gahto gonna send next?' considering they assumed the hunter-nin was overexcited about seeing someone famous, that she just forgot what to do with the corpse... but they were sure the chick would be bragging about that book, as well as meeting Naruto to all her female friends, and then they would ask how she met him, and that would lead her to explaining how strong and heroic Naruto is... to which three people snorted at.
Sasuke cause he still thought he was better.
Kiba cause he was pissed that he didn't even get a chance to train with Hinata, cause of how far behind they were.
And Inari cause he still hated the older boy for stealing his crush's heart before he could even get a chance... poor boy.
But today they were all heading off for the bridge, Kiba and Shino decided to stay and provide protection for Inari and Tsunami, much to Inari and Kiba's anger.
Kiba wanted to get Hinata to stay and guard the place in order to get some alone time.
Inari wanted Hinata to stay so he could get some alone time.
Though both of them were wondering why Shino had to ruin Hinata's chances of staying there, with Inari also hating Kiba as well.
But back to the group heading to the bridge, consisting of the smart but weak banshee, the one eye pervert, the emo avenger, the genjutsu mistress, the all-seeing eyes, and the shadowman, all of which were guarding the famous bridge builder. Although they all had names, the author finds it more amusing when he uses nicknames...
Ignoring the three random glares, as well as the random snickers of the group, and focusing on the fact that there were a bunch of beaten men all over the bridge, and then Zabuza was standing with the hunter-nin at his side, confusing Sakura a bit.
"Didn't that Haku person kill Zabuza?"
Zabuza and the Haku both looked at each other, as the Haku handed Zabuza some money, though when they turned to address the group of Konoha-nin, Naruto was already on them.
Naruto noticed the slight let up from when the two were trading off the money, so he swung his cane as he extended it, attempting to take the Haku's head off, and slice Zabuza in half, though they both dodged, Sasuke rushed forward and kicked Haku in the gut, launching her backwards.
Naruto looked at Sasuke with a raised eyebrow, and so the Uchiha explained.
"My sensei is too damn lazy, or he's waiting for me to obtain the sharingan, either way, I fought against you and lost too fast for my tastes, so I have decided to fight alongside you, to see what it's like, besides, like you said before the mission, we will have to work together eventually, so you take on Zabuza, while I fight Haku."
They nod at each other and rush their chosen enemy, Haku and Sasuke fight almost going like cannon, except for the extra shadow that Sasuke had following him, and lending a hand when needed.
Naruto and Zabuza on the other hand were in a much better battle, though the fact that Naruto was aware of Kakashi pulling out his porn, kinda annoyed him, especially when Zabuza spoke.
"He reads Icha too?"
"I actually help write the damn thing."
Zabuza was about to bring his sword down, but he pulled back even before the shadow could stop the attack.
"You write the Icha Icha series?"
"Well yeah, the book does say I am the co-author of it."
"I assume if we kill your partners, you will find a way to make us regret it won't you?"
"Of coarse, if I lost my comrades I may never get over the sorrow of my friends dieing before my eyes, I could never lift another finger to write, for the rest of my life."
Zabuza felt very cold when he said that, and turning around, he saw Haku breathing down his neck, when Naruto continued.
"And then the fact that pervy sage takes my books and tuns them into adult versions, that would also mean the end of Icha Icha."
There was a sudden cold glare coming from over by Tazuna, and when everyone looked, they saw Kakashi with his sharingan revealed, and then there was the fact he was gathering a lot of chakra, though no one noticed when Sasuke walked next to Naruto, one black comma marks (what are they again?) in each of his red eyes, and considering he had enough senbon in him to be mistaken for a porcupine, it was obvious Sasuke couldn't keep up with Haku, and so now he was feeling the pain.
Suddenly there was clapping from the other side of the bridge, but as the fog cleared, Gahto stopped clapping, and just stared at the group of unharmed ninja, as well as the pincushion wannabe, then glared at Zabuza and Haku.
"Weren't you supposed to tire them out?"
Naruto was the one to speak.
"You must be Gahto. You have one-hundred and fifty-eight men..."
When Naruto suddenly stopped speaking, everyone looked at him, only to see a toothy grin, and given his overly sharp teeth, and icy cold eyes, there were chills that went up all of their spines... naruto was gonna do something insane.
Naruto gripped his staff, and slammed it into the ground, suddenly there were several voices.
"Are you ready!?"
Gahto looked pissed off.
"Ready for what?"
"Are you ready!?"
As a large amount of heads began to float out of the water and hover in the air, asking the question again, as Gahto got more worried, and then everyone began to panic when a very, very large head floated out of the water at the unfinished end of the bridge, but Gahto felt like he could escape with his life, by bribing.
"I can give you money, I don't wanna die!"
Suddenly the mask opened his mouth and countless shadows came from it, grabbing every single thug there, the thugs also tried to escape by clawing at the ground, some even stabbing their weapons into the bridge to keep from being dragged into the mouth of the strange giant mask, Gahto pulled the wood off the curved end of his cane as he stabbed it into the bridge and held tight with his good arm, as about forty of the thugs were left, all hanging on for their lives, and as they were hanging on, Naruto was sweating, and a bit of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Haku looked at Naruto, then decided to try to help, she sent senbon after senbon, at the thugs and Gahto, all of them eventually losing their grip and being dragged to their doom.
When they all were dragged into the abyss of where ever they went, Naruto spoke weakly as he spat some blood from his mouth.
"i seek the power to foretell blood, I seek to be able to channel true darkness, 4 feet, 4 shadows."
As Naruto stopped talking, he fell to the ground, unconscious, while everyone raised eyebrows at what the boy said.
Zabuza sighed.
"It appears that my contract with Gatou(i have found out I was spelling his name wrong... sorry) has expired, so it looks like we are no longer enemies Kakashi. That kid is something else."
Haku and Hinata were already helping Naruto back to Tazuna's place, while Kakashi spoke with Zabuza.
"That may be so, but what did he mean when he spoke those words?"
Kurunai felt like she didn't have to explain anything to Kakashi, so she just left him wondering about it all, while she took her knowledge of what happened, and walked away, only stopping for a second, in order to collect Naruto's staff, since Hinata and Haku both were having trouble with Naruto, though she would ask Naruto how much weight Naruto placed on himself when he woke up.
===three days later, when the bridge was closer to completion, though not fully yet===
Tazuna has been able to get closer to completing his bridge, since he has had more help, including help from the ninja, though Haku and Hinata were the ones taking care of Naruto. Inari was still trying to get close to Hinata, though when he saw Kiba try to get closer to her, he kicked him in the shin... leading to them running around the house all day, which Hinata felt happy for.
Today we find Hinata getting dressed after taking a shower, though Naruto was in the room, he was unconscious, so it didn't matter, though luckily, after getting her breasts wrapped in bandages, and pulling on her panties, which were an orange color, Naruto groaned, Hinata got excited, and rushed over and hugged him. Though Naruto wasn't fully awake, when he realized Hinata was naked, he woke right up, he also turned completely red, though Hinata soon followed him in turning red, when her mind caught up with her actions... as they both feinted... Kurunai, Haku, and Sakura went upstairs to see what happened, though when the boys tried to follow, the girls all glared at them, and kicked them back downstairs, Kiba and Inari grumbling, while Sakura reminded that if anything happened, then Hinata would end up being naked, considering she told them she was gonna be taking a shower.
Kurunai and Haku, being the only two female ninja not on guard duty, ran into the room to find Hinata, completely red, almost completely naked, as well as unconscious, on an equally red, and unconscious Naruto.
Haku walked over and grabbed the blanket, pulling it out from under the sleeping red girl, then throwing it over both of them, and walked back downstairs, to inform everyone, that everything was alright, while Kurunai grabbed her camera, and took a picture of the two sleeping kids, to pick on them later about.
When Naruto had been unconscious, Kurunai had got Hinata and Haku to take his shirts off, as well as told them to undo his pants to allow him to be able to breathe easier, though when they pulled his pants fully off, she just shook her head at the hormonal teens, and they both blushed at her comments about them just wanting to get his pants off, though the gravity seals on the pants, sorta made Kurunai glad they did remove them, as they also found similar seals on his shirt and jacket, though when the girls went to ask Kakashi what they were, they were forced to explain why Naruto's pants were in their hands and not on Naruto... realizing the girls were stripping Naruto, Sasuke almost burst out laughing, Kiba was pissed off, and Inari was wondering why girls taking a boy's clothes off was so intriguing to the others... poor boy.
So needless to say, Naruto and Hinata were both in their underwear under the blanket, though with Hinata wearing bandages instead of a bra, like most kunoichi, the picture made the two look like they were naked in bed together... Kurunai was gonna have a field day with the two, though Naruto might be a bit harder to embarrass than Hinata, but he would still get a blush on his cheeks from knowing that he was almost naked in bed with a girl. They were still kids after all, though being ninja meant they could legally do adult activities, they were still a bit away from actually wanting to do stuff like that, though it was embarrassing for two hormonal teens to actually be caught naked with each other in bed, though the way Hinata was clinging to Naruto in the picture, you would actually think they were a couple.
Needless to say, Kurunai waited for the two to wake up, and when they did, they were both completely shocked, though Naruto didn't feint this time, even as an unconscious nearly naked Hinata clunge tightly to him.
Naruto layed with Hinata clinging to him, while Kurunai stopped him from moving.
"Think of this as confidence training for her."
Naruto let out an exasperated sigh, as he stayed laying with Hinata, as Kurunai spoke again.
"You gonna tell me what powers you got from Gatou and his men?"
"I can now look into someone's past, and see exactly who their parents are, and I can also now control a master shadow, while I can extend my staff an extra four feet, as well as control an extra four shadows."
"Why did you go unconscious, as well as bleed while you were summoning your friends and giving them souls?"
"Whenever I use my voodoo powers, I use no chakra, but when I summon them in the middle of the open like I did on the bridge, it requires a lot of energy, so while using my shadows, my cards, and my staff, I have no needs for jutsu, but to unlock more abilities, I must give my friends souls, as you know, the amount of souls I give them determines what powers I can select from. For every soul, I can control an extra shadow, or extend my staff an extra foot. But every time I summon them to give them souls, I have to make a foothold in this world for them to hold on to."
"So you use your chakra as the foothold, and the longer they stay here, the more chakra it costs you, and the healthier the person, the more they can resist. So while your powers are extremely helpful, in order to obtain more of them, you have to put your life at risk."
"Or battle in my home turf, there are rituals I can perform in order to allow them a foothold without giving them any of my chakra, but they would need to possess an object, which no matter what it is, would be forced into the form of a mask, similar to the ones you saw on the bridge. I do have some masks in my apartment, back at Konoha, though I never expected to need them on this mission, due to not expecting so many thugs to show up."
"So if Tazuna had never lied, and right from the get go, told us it was gonna be an A-rank mission, you would have grabbed your masks, and dragged them all the way here with you?"
"I would have used a sealing scroll to carry them, and then I would have pulled it out, releasing the seals, and summoned my friends, which would have allowed me to give them souls, without almost dieing of chakra exhaustion, from trying to hold them in our plane of existence."
"Very well Naruto, go to sleep, and allow Hinata to get some rest as well, she has been worried sick about you, ever since you collapsed on the bridge."
"Alright."
And with that, Naruto went back to sleep, while Kurunai went and informed everyone that Naruto was alright, and what they needed to know, though she left out key points, mainly about the handicaps, Naruto told her about, though she figured she would have to tell the Hokage when they got back, though her team as well as Naruto would most likely tell him with her, due to her team needing to know about any handicaps of each others powers, and the Hokage needing to know Naruto's limits. But she was also happy that Hinata was getting an early birthday present, by Naruto allowing her to stay sleeping with him.
===end chapter===
Alright, a bit of extreme NaruHina fluff at the end, as well as a weakness, or limit to Naruto's powers... holy crap, I didn't make him all powerful, and before you all start asking about why Naruto wasn't hurt in the beginning when he first got his powers, that will be explained next chapter... though I would assume you could already guess why he wasn't hurt from it, but it will still be explained next chapter, for those of you who can't guess, but either way, the voting also ends next chapter, also no ocs will be excepted after I post the next chapter, and while I was serious about your oc dating Kisame if they were over thirty, it isn't a bad thing, doesn't that big lug deserve some kind of love? The poor fish guy, imagine how much he was picked on and laughed at growing up. Well either way, last chance to vote, and remember, if there are ties, then they get boated out of the harem, if no one else votes and more girls, then there is no harem, so if someone votes for Temari, Tenten, or Ino, then Naruto will have another chick in his bed, though if two people were to vote for another girl, then they would be in, and the other girls will be out, although I might allow Haku to be in bed with Naruto, though I think you all would be shocked with what I have done to Haku, which you might find out in chapter eight or nine, possibly ten, or it might be the next chapter, it all depends on how far into the chunin exams I get. Well either way, see ya.
Also, don't forget to decide if you want to see the perverted side added to this fiction, cause I really don't care, I can keep it pg 13, I once again, leave it up to you.
