Naruto frowned at the answer. "Of course..." He said. Kakashi looked at him before he turned away. "What was that jutsu anyway? Sakura said it looked like a shuriken." Kakashi asked. "I dunno... maybe I did one of the fourth's techniques, I heard they were awesome!" Naruto lit up. "Let's find Sakura." Kakashi said. Naruto looked at him. 'won't speak of Minato will you? Well, I'll find out how to make sure I don't blow my cover more, though I am still gonna kill that snake bastard!" Naruto said and hurried after the white haired jonin.
Sakura was looking at the unconscious Sasuke. "Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted. "Naruto? You're awake." Sakura said and stared blankly at him. "Yeah, how 's Sasuke?" Naruto looked at the sleeping raven head. "He woke up a few hours ago, though he didn't speak much..." Sakura said. She remembered his angry look. The pure look of hatred that was concerning one person. Or rather two.
"Well, Anko-san will soon tell us what to do the next exam and stuff, let's go." Sakura said and dragged Naruto with her. There was a total of 21 ninjas left, the rookie nine, Gaara's team, Neji's team, Kabuto's team and the sound team. The hokage and the jonin instructors was standing in front of them. Anko, Ibiki and some other Ninjas was also present. "The hokage will now explain the third exam." She said and turned to the hokage. "Hokage-sama, if you'll do the honor." She said and the third nodded.
"I will tell you about the third exam after I have explained something. Why do we have the chuunin exam with other villages? To reinforce the villages relations? To have higher rate ninjas? No, it is to subside war. The nations has needed something to waste one could say, the military strenght, it is a show of skills. The more skills one village has, the more jobs the village will get." The third said.
"Then why do we have to fight with our lives on the line?" Kiba asked. "Because a shinobi takes out he or she's true potential in a life or death situation." The third ask calmly.
"Kit, won't you meet the teacher of your soon? The perverted one? And luckily you haven't got that disturbing seal on you this time. Get the summoning contract, we could need it in the battle against Gaara... unless if you want to try convince the pervert to give you the key this seal and set me free so we can just go me mode and beat his dry ass?" Kurama asked. 'stop with the sand jokes.' "But I still don't want to desert them! I know I did this a while back, but I am alone all the time, and I am stuck in this stupid cage." 'too bad!' Naruto hissed at the fox. 'Now you made me miss the hokage speaking, I haven't seen him in years and when I do you HAVE to blow it up?' Naruto asked Kurama. "Yes." He answered. Hayate appeared in front of them. Kurama started to shout at him 'Kurama shut up! I don't even know the rules now!" Naruto said and turned to Sakura behind him. "it will probably be the same one on one preliminaries." 'I guess...' Naruto thought. Sasuke was still unconscious and Naruto bet it would be the curse mark and all, but it was way to different from the first time he took the chuunin exam, though it was briefly the same at some points.
"I want to quit!" Kabuto said. The white haired genin bastard smiled and after Hayate checked him out he left. Naruto look in the middle of the crowd behind the hokage. 'Orochimaru...' Naruto said and gritted his teeth. Then he started to gather some nature chakra while he stood completely still. He hid his eyes when he had gathered enough nature chakra for sage mode and felt Sasuke head towards them.
The board that was going to elect the match pairs started to spin off. Naruto knew that Sasuke would be in the first match so he quietly turned to the raven head that came walking into the room. 'he is to noticeable for his own good.' Naruto thought and smirked at him. He held his shoulder protectively and stopped behind Sakura. Then Sasuke's name appeared with one of the guys at Kabuto's team.
The two stepped forwards and the rest went up to the platforms that lined the hall. Kakashi said something to Sasuke but Naruto didn't listen. After that Kakashi followed Sakura and Naruto as they stood and waited for the match to begin. "Start." Hayate said and the two started the combat.
Naruto didn't pay any attention to the battle, only to Orochimaru who was on the other side of the hall observing his friends fighting skills. Naruto clenched his fists. How much he wanted to strangle that snake bastards neck while he continuously formed a rasengan to his guts. The evil intentions radiated from him like fireworks in a completely dark world. Naruto released sage mode and looked at Kakashi. "Sensei, can I go to the bath?" Naruto asked. The white haired jonin nodded.
Naruto stepped out of the hall and ventured until he found the restroom. He stopped in front of the mirror. He quickly formed a rasengan with one of his hands. "Rasengan!" He shouted and shoved it at the mirror. The glass left bits all over the place and Naruto sighed out in relief. "Gah! I want this to end!" Naruto said and looked at the broken mirror reflection of him.
"Naruto would you stop that? I can't make you go back! You have to live your life once again!" Kurama said and looked at Naruto. "I won't meet mom or dad this time I guess... since I already have control and all..." Naruto said. "Their chakra is still in the seal though..." Kurama replied. "I guess..." Naruto shook his head and spilled some water on his face.
By the time Naruto came back it was in the middle of Sakura's battle. Ino was on the ground like if she had been hit or something. Naruto grinned. "Sakura! You've come a long way for this! Don't give up!" He shouted. Sakura/Ino started to wrap her hands around her head in pain before she sent Ino back to her real body. The two then charged at each other and landed a fist on the other one's face.
"It is a draw, no one excels in the fourth preliminary match." Hayate said after he had checked the two for any sign of conciseness.
Then there was the rest of the battles, Lee getting hospitalized, Naruto beating the crap outta Kiba and Hinata who did her best. She really was adorable. Naruto looked at Kakashi who were reading a copy of Icha Icha paradise. After those who had one the matches assembled the hokage informed them of the one month waiting period before the real third exam. 'Time to find ero-sennin!' Naruto cheered in his thoughts. That was one man he really had wanted to meet. He had missed the perverted man a lot. Like, mental wreck lot.
Naruto ran out and on the way he stopped in front of Kakashi who was in the hallway. "Hey Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto shouted. "You-" "I gotta run, gotta find someone who is going to supervise my training who can actually teach me something useful!" Naruto ran at full speed towards the hot springs. "Ero-sennin, ero-sennin!" Naruto hummed to himself when he prepared himself to go to the men's bath.
"OH turn please! Oh that's the stuff!" He heard a familiar but long time since last heard voice say. "YO!" Naruto said. "Shh! Quiet!" the white haired man sad. "I need someone to supervise my training for the final exam in the chuunin exam and you are Jiraiya so that means that you are super strong!" Naruto said and went over to the man. "Shh!" Jiraiya said. "Oh don't sweat it, I am sure the ladies don't mind you researching for your book, though I can help you." Naruto smirked an evil smile. Jiraiya looked at him. "How would a brat like you be able to help me?" Jiraiya said. "Oiroke no jutsu!" Naruto said and transformed into his female nude version of himself. Jiraiya covered the hot spring with a little red nosebleed. "You- kid are a genius!" Jiraiya said. "Now please teach me the rasengan?" Naruto asked. "the rasengan? You cannot learn that kid." Jiraiya said. "Try me, one week and I will master it." Naruto bet. "No, I think we can start on another jutsu if you really want to test yourself. The summoning, follow me kid!" Jiraiya said and the two went out to the place where he and Jiraiya had trained before. "Remember these hand signs, then bite your thumb, do the signs and slam your fist downwards, or whatever way you want." Jiraiya said and Naruto nodded as Jiraiya showed the signs and summoned a toad. Naruto did the following: Bite, signs and summon. Gamakichi appeared. "Haha, I did it, I did it!" Naruto shouted. Jiraiya looked at him absolutely horrified at the first try summoning. "Hey toad let's make a contract! I am Naruto and I am gonna be the hokage! Also I met your dad once!" Naruto said happily. The toad just stared at him. "Naruto. How did you know about contracts, let alone Gamabunta?" Jiraiya asked. "Well, I kinda knew the hand signs and all... practiced a lot... then tried it... and it ended up with reverse summoning..." "Naruto what are you talking about? We already have a contract, and why are you so young?" It felt like a thousand bricks just had landed upon him. "Gama-san, let us not speak of that here, you see? That man over there and I are havi-" "Jiraiya-sama!" The toad shouted. "Gama-chan, I will explain later, see ya!" Naruto looked at him and the toad nodded.
"Is things supposed to work like that?" Naruto asked. Jiraiya shook his head. "No, but you can summon... I will look into the matter later..." Jiraiya said and Naruto nodded. "He knows!" Kurama exclaimed. 'I know! It's amazing!" Naruto thought with happiness. "That might be a problem too, the guy is onto you!" Kurama continued.
"now ero-sennin, can we practice the rasengan?" Naruto asked. The perverted man looked at him. "Kid, let us try something else... like controlling the kyuubi chakra..." jiraiya asked. "Well, sure... but the seal is intact so I won't be able to do much. I can control some parts of it but it is limited a lot." Naruto said. He mentally winked. "isn't there a key or anything?" Naruto asked. "Like so I could maybe control the entire kyuubi? We talked to each other you know, he is quite special... with bad humor..." Naruto said. Jiraiya looked at him mortified. "Who the hell are you kid? How can I trust you!? You aren't supposed to have a contract, you are not supposed to know the kyuubi let alone speak with him, you aren't supposed to be... you!" Jiraiya said. "I could explain everything, but you must promise me to trick Tsunade." Naruto winked at him. Jiraiya looked at him with narrowing eyes.
"You can trust me..." Jiraiya said. Naruto exhaled. "My name is Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto, I am the son of Uzumaki Kushina and the yondaime hokage, konoha's yellow flash, Namikaze Minato. I am a total of twenty years old I think, I was soon gonna be a husband and a father when I was attacked during a mission and I was close to dying, the Kyuubi or Kurama as his name is, saved me by sending me back in time." Naruto said quickly. Jiraiya looked at him. "How can I know that you are speaking the truth?" Jiraiya asked. "You have a summoning with the Kyuubi seal key, you were given that by my father in hope that I would be able to control the kyuubi, which I can by the way, and you were close to death once and that was when you were caught peeping on Tsunade in the hot springs. You had three students before my father I think, I didn't quite listen to that part, but at least it was Nagato, Yahiko and Konan. Nagato had the rinnegan. You named me after the main character in "tale of a gutsy ninja" which my father loved, you are also my god father who abandoned me with the villagers in my first years, but I have forgotten that already." Naruto took a deep breath and Jiraiya just stared at him. "You – Naruto – I thought I died!" Jiraiya suddenly hugged him. "Wha- ero-sennin?" Naruto didn't understand what was going on. "Pain! I was killed by Pain! And then I woke up in an inn in the lighting country! I didn't understand what was going on but then I heard about the chuunin exams oh god I though I had lost my mind!" Naruto looked at him in shock. "You mean, you time traveled too?" Naruto asked. "Yes!" Jiraiya exclaimed. "That is awesome! Don't go after Pain again at least, I defeated him so I know what to do!" Naruto said happily. "You did? How?" Jiraiya asked.
After going to detail about how he defeated Pain and then talked to Nagato saving the entire village, Jiraiya and Naruto retired back to Naruto's apartment where they talked long out to the night. "And then and then, I heard I was going to be a father!" Naruto exclaimed, finally finished his entire life story after the battle with Pain. "Wow, Naruto you really are the child of prophesy..." Jiraiya said.
"Yeah but now I got to train so we won't loose as many lives in the war, and you can't die... but the third..." Naruto said. "We cannot stop Orochimaru, he will then know more than he should and take it to his advantage." Jiraiya said. "Right..." Naruto said looking down. "But the bet with Tsunade-baachan, let's do that right?" Naruto asked and Jiraiya clapped him on the shoulder. "Why should I say no?" The two laughed. "But ero-sennin, what should I do during the exams then? I mean I can't transform Gama-boss since we don't have a contract this time. Though when I tried su- Gamakichi died after me... that is why he didn't come when I summoned him before..." Naruto whispered. 'Why?' Naruto though as he clenched his fists. "Naruto calm down, we can change all that, we know how most things will turn out, though from here it might still be extremely different... I don't know much of time." Jiraiya said. "But let's get the seal unlocked!" Naruto said. Jiraiya sighed. "You are a hundred percent sure you know how to control him?" Jiraiya asked. Naruto nodded seriously. The old man coughed up the toad who had the key, Naruto never actually remembered his name.
"Seal key please, the fourths." Jiraiya said. He looked at Naruto who nodded. "We want it unlocked." Naruto said. "What!? Are you mad?!" The toad said. "I don't want to explain, but me and the kyuubi are partners, and I want the key to my seal that my father left for this sole purpose to unlock the damn cage!" Naruto said strictly. The toad obeyed and after a couple of minutes Naruto had unlocked the cage. 'Spare your chakra mom.' Naruto said and the chakra figured did as told. He didn't know he could do that before he had taken the seal into close study.
"Mom's chakra is still sealed inside me, I dunno why but I want to save it for another time." Naruto said. Jiraiya looked at him and nodded. "I see, you have managed quite a lot haven't you? Now show me this 'kyuubi-mode'." Jiraiya said. Naruto smirked. 'Let's show him Kurama!' Naruto said to his furry friend. Naruto linked their chakra and Jiraiya's face was hilarious. "Gah!" Jiraiya said. "You look like the fourth who suddenly turned glowing and black!" Jiraiya said and the two laughed. Naruto went out of kyuubi mode. "Ero-sennin, can you try to teach me the other elements?" Naruto asked and the two talked a bit further, but when they came to the meditation part, which was the first step, the two fell asleep, since it was morning and they haven't slept.
The next weeks the two had practiced the other elements, Naruto didn't quite get lighting and earth so he had started with water, because of the awesome move he and Yamato had accomplished once.
Naruto walked into the arena. It was full with different people from different countries.
"The third exam will start soon. The first battle will be Uzumaki Naruto vs Hyuuga Neji."
–
That's it for the seventh chapter! If someone wondered about the entire Gamakichi thing it was the same occurrence though it seems that the "unknown." chakra that mixed with the kyuubi's isn't resting. So Gamakichi also is from the future along with Jiraiya.
A new character I have mentioned in this chapter is arriving next, and it is not Tsunade.
