Chapter 6: A New Rank
The two weeks went quickly for Naruto and his parents but in that time the family bonded more in the form of training and war stories by Naruto and Minato; even Kushina got in on the story telling by describing what Uzu was like before it was destroyed by Iwa and their two allies. Training was a complete success as in that time Naruto learned of his affinity which was wind and water which were both equally strong yet the water affinity almost matched that of the Nidame which left Minato and Kushina wondering.
Minato trained Naruto in taijutsu at first but after the first day, he decided to let Naruto keep his as it was unpredictable in nature. From there was chakra training which came along fast in the two weeks thanks to in part of Shadow Clones. Minato knew two weeks of training was not enough and this was the best solution to solving that problem.
Kushina took Naruto's stamina to a whole new level and even taught him Kenjutsu as well as some water jutsu. Naruto asked about sealing but both Kushina and Minato said that would wait until after passing his test. Even though he only had two weeks of training, thanks to shadow clones Naruto trained for about five years and both parents were happy to say that with his previous training he would go far when tested.
Naruto spent his off time in the Namikaze library where he taught himself trap making and how to improve his stealth capabilities; he also used shadow clones to read up on politics, the elemental nations, and various others to help Naruto understand this world a bit better. It was because of all this reading that he decided a wardrobe change was needed; he decided that a different outfit would denote which mission he would be going on.
Flashback – one week into training
The bell jingles as someone enters the store and the lady behind the counter looks to see who was coming in and gasps then smiles.
"Welcome Namikaze-sama to Higurashi's weapon and clothing shop."
Naruto chuckles "Drop the honorifics please and I keep forgetting that my father announced who I was two days after my return. May I get your name ma'am?"
"It's Tenten sir and word travels about how you whipped the gate guards and civilian council into shape…you going to be helping at the academy cause with that mouth, I am sure people will get in shape faster than you can say Hokage-sama."
Naruto laughs "I am actually thinking of doing so after my test to see which rank I can attain, anyway I have a couple ideas what I want for clothing if you don't mind."
Tenten nods and yells back to the back room "Dad, Naruto Namikaze is here and has ideas on clothing can you help please?!"
Naruto looks to see a man as tall as he with the same build come up front, the man's look screamed 'respect me or die' so Naruto does what he always does in front of a possible superior.
"Sir!" Naruto salutes making the man chuckle
"You don't have to give me respect Naruto, I am just a man committed to his work, now what do you have? Names' Dan by the way."
Naruto nods "Well, as you can tell I am still wearing what I came in with and after reading more about this Nation I decided a wardrobe change would be needed."
Both Tenten and Dan nod in approval.
"I have ideas on three sets of clothing each denoting which mission I am going to be on. One will be an assassin/espionage outfit, the next will be a standard mission outfit, and the last is what I will wear when off duty."
Dan nods "That actually is a sound plan, why other Shinobi don't do that I will never know."
Naruto laughs "The assassin/espionage set will consist of a black face mask, black ANBU pants, black steel-toed boots, and metal armor undershirt for protection, black long sleeved shirt, and a black trench coat with a hood to cover up my hair. Also, a utility belt to hold various kunai and assassin tools would be nice."
Tenten interrupts "That seems bland for what you have planned."
"Ma'am it is impolite to interrupt when two adults are talking." Naruto reminds her making her blush in embarrassment which makes Dan laugh
"Anyway, I was wondering if there was some way you could make it so the clothing becomes camouflaged with the surroundings."
Dan whistles "I know seals could do that but I am no seal expert so ask your father in that department; if whatever you have planned works I think we might have a new standard uniform for our espionage and assassins department."
"Thanks sir."
"Next outfit?" Tenten asks
Naruto nods and ponders a little bit "Well for the one I will be wearing around here is easy as it is the same outfit my father wears. Yah, I know pretty original but take my whisker marks away and I look just like him."
"What happens if I touch your whisker marks?" Tenten curiously asks
"Let her touch them Naruto…I already know what will happen but this is payback for your remarks when we first met." Kurama thinks at the end
"You can try if you wish; I am not sure what happens." Tenten does just that making Naruto start to purr
"KAWAII!" Tenten leaps over the counter and engulfs Naruto in a hug
"You bastard fox…you knew this would happen wouldn't you!"
Kurama is heard laughing which makes Naruto sneer at him; Dan clears his throat and Tenten retreats behind the counter.
Naruto chuckles and blushes a little then continues with his last suit "For the final one on missions it should be like what I am wearing now but a lot lighter; hell I am basically wearing wool which gets way to hot."
Dan and Tenten chuckle and Dan voices what Naruto possibly wanted.
"So, you want tan ANBU pants, a tan shirt like your wearing now, I take it you will need a utility belt like that of your assassin suit, and I will throw in some extras for you."
"Sounds like a plan so when will these be done?"
"Hmm I say about three days, need any weapons?"
Naruto shakes his head "My family has an armory in their basement so I can stock up there plus my mother gave me an Uzumaki katana as a welcome home present."
Tenten starts drooling catching Naruto off guard which makes Dan chuckle "Sorry, she has a fetish for superior weapons and an Uzu katana is rare as they usually choose their wielder."
Naruto smiles "Well then, I will see you in three days; thank you sir and ma'am." He salutes and leaves in a wind shunshin to get back home.
Flashback End
After Naruto got the clothes and told Minato what seals he wanted for the Assassin outfit he grinned and a day before his test applied them to the inside of the clothing as well as storage seals to each utility belt to hold various items. His mission set was special indeed as Dan managed to sew in light weight mesh armor into the pants and shirt and applied cleaning seals as well as repair seals to keep the clothes intact.
We now reach the present and Naruto walks downstairs in his assassin garb for the test he would have today; Naruto read up on the Forest of Death and decided this outfit would be best.
Minato looks at Naruto and whistles "Looking good son, remember that you can activate the camouflage by adding chakra to the seals on the clothing."
"I know dad" Naruto says as he takes a seat at the kitchen table ready for breakfast which consisted of eggs, bacon, and pancakes as well as coffee
Kushina smiles at Naruto as she brings out the food and asks a simple question "So, what's in your belt sweety?"
"Now why would I give you that information? A ninja always keeps what he has on him a secret you know."
Minato laughs as does Kushina who starts to dish out everyone's food; they soon all sit down and eat a relatively silent meal and head out to the Forest of Death ready for the test.
Forest of Death – Central Tower
Minato, Anko, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kushina, and the retired advisors Koharu and Homura are all in the control room looking over the many monitors that show what is going on in the forest. Naruto, who is leaning against the wall with his eyes clothes and his hood and face mask up, looks at all who are going to be watching; all you can see is Naruto's piercing blue eyes.
Minato looks at his son "Naruto, I want you to head into the forest first then I will send out the genin team, once you defeat them I will send out the next and the process will continue until the last team is sent out or you are captured or can't continue."
Naruto silently nods "Any stipulations sir?"
"No killing, but you can harm them to a certain extent as this is a test of your capabilities."
Naruto nods again "Then I will take my leave."
He activates the camo seals on his outfit and blends in with his surroundings shocking all present even Minato who made the seals.
"Huh, I managed to finish those yesterday and I can now say that the prototype works."
Everyone stares at Minato minus Kushina whom chuckles at her husband's antics.
"Let's just watch the show and see how my boy does shall we?" Kushina states "Can you use the intercom system in the forest to let Naruto that it will start."
Anko nods and uses the system "Naruto, the test is about to start, we are sending in the genin now."
Everyone looks at the monitors to see Naruto appear in the forest and give a thumb up and disappear again.
"Um Minato, can anyone actually sense Naruto while using those seals, if not it seems unfair." Koharu states
Minato chuckles "Those seals only blend his clothing with his surrounding not mask his chakra though he doesn't know that yet."
Everyone laughs while thinking at the same time "Crafty bastard."
Forest of Death – Genin Team Part
The three genin are walking around the forest attempting to think up a plan.
"Shikamaru, any idea on what Naruto is capable of?" Chouji asks
Said person shakes his head "No but we have to be on guard as Minato and Kushina taught him for two weeks; let me rephrase that, their two weeks would be years of training thanks to shadow clones…troublesome."
"So, any idea of a plan Shika?" Ino questions
"We will have to make one on the spot unfortunately and like I said before…troublesome."
Naruto, who was up in the trees just above the team was masking his chakra and hiding himself with the camo seals, silently chuckled.
"So, they have no idea what I'm capable of, well then how about striking fear into each of them. Kurama, when I let Ino take control of my mind I want you to scare her a bit but no damaging effects please."
Kurama chuckles "I like you already…bout time I had some fun."
Naruto silently jumps from branch to branch and gets ahead of the team to set some traps with ninja wire and the environment around him; the people in the control tower watch to see how this would play out.
"Well, my boy seems to be using the divide and conquer tactic." Minato states
Anko laughs "I wonder what will happen when Ino looks into Naruto's mind?"
Everyone minus Kushina pales and choruses "Oh shit."
Kushina chuckles "Kurama is just a misunderstood fox, I'm sure both he and Naruto are working together to get through this."
Back in the forest Naruto hides in a bush waiting for the genin to spring his trap; it was ninja wire wrapped around a small tree branch, the rest of the wire was around a farther tree in the back pulling the branch taught. He sees the three approaches and holds his breath; a snap is soon heard as the trip wire is broke making the branch fling forward.
Shikamaru and Chouji jump over the branch but Ino decided to act too late and was hit by the branch making her fly into the dark abyss of the forest.
"INO!" Shika and Chouji chorus as they run and try to pinpoint her location
With Ino
Ino groans and holds her chest "Damn branch, damn test."
She stands and looks at her surroundings hoping to find her team but no such luck; Ino was about to walk forward when a man in all black drops from the trees above right in front of her. The blue eyes piercing into her own; acting quickly she performs the necessary hand signs for her clan jutsu.
Mind Body Switch Technique
As Ino takes control of Naruto's body she decides to walk around his mindscape and soon comes into a massive forest.
"Wow, talk about a nice mind." A new voice makes her look around for it
"Well, you're going to love me!" Kurama pounces in front of Ino and roars in her face making her scream and getting kicked out of Naruto's mind
Naruto's body twitches on the forest floor then he gets up to see a now unconscious Ino "Two minds are better than one, ne?"
"Damn straight!"
Naruto chuckles and decides to make Ino bait for the other members of her team.
With Shikamaru and Chouji
A scream is heard in front of them and both pale knowing who that scream was and Shikamaru had an idea what happened.
"Troublesome, she looked into Naruto's mind."
"It couldn't be that bad right?" Chouji asks as both run through the forest to get to Ino
"One word Chouji; Kyuubi."
Chouj pales and hopes Ino is alright but soon they had to dodge as a wave of kunai comes out of the forest toward them.
"Chouji, he's trying to split us up so stay close!"
"Right, but where is he?"
A voice resonates in the forest "I have you surrounded Genin and your team member is no more surrender or face the same fate."
"Give Ino back!" Chouji yells
"Alright, why not."
A snap is heard and both genin look up to see someone falling from the branches above; both recognize who it is, Chouji acts fast.
Partial Multi-Size Technique
Chouji's now super-sized hand catches Ino without harm but that is when everything went to hell. Right as Chouji set Ino down smoke bombs are detonated around the two creating thick white smoke they couldn't see through. Both Shikamaru and Chouji look around in hope of finding the man but no sound could be heard from him, only the sounds of the forest.
"This guy's good…I can't even sense him." Shikamaru thinks then hears Chouji scream
"Chouji, are you alright?"
A whisper in his ear makes him pull out a kunai and lash out to his right hitting nothing but smoke.
"You almost had me." The voice whispers in his other ear and Shikamaru attempts the same and again hitting nothing but smoke
"This is troublesome." Shikamaru closes his eyes and manages to hear clothing shuffling and lashes out again but this time the voice catches his hand
"Good, you found me now I can have some fun!"
Naruto follows up with a knee to the elbow of the arm he caught making Shikamaru drop his kunai and scream in pain. The smoke recedes allowing Shikamaru to see the man attacking his team and lashes forward in a flurry of punches and kicks while manipulating his shadow. Naruto dodges all of them and was about to go on the offense when he couldn't move forward.
"Shadow Imitation Technique successful, you should have watched your surroundings better"
Naruto starts to laugh "What makes you think this is the real me, goodbye Shikamaru."
Shikamaru suddenly feels pin pricks on his back then falls to the forest floor and sees the one he captured turn into smoke. "Shadow clone." He thought before slipping into the darkness.
Naruto smiles beneath the mask and creates three clones to take them to the tower.
Control Tower
"Well, that was a one sided match; Naruto did well with his tactic and seemed to be one step ahead all the time." Tsunade states
"Yah, boss is pretty good at doing that." A new voice says making everyone turn to see three Naruto's holding the Ino-Shika-Cho team
The one holding Chouji reassures them "Boss only used a low level sleeping and paralyzing toxin on Shikamaru and the one I'm holding; Ino well, she shouldn't have looked into Boss's mind."
Anko laughs "I like this gaki!"
"Good, tell Naruto the next test is on, I sent out the next team." Minato states then slams a kunai in the skull of the closest clone which dispels it sending the information to the host
Back in the Forest – Chunin Team Part
"Dad could have dispelled that in a nicer way. Chunin are next which makes me wonder if my outfit was a good idea." Naruto asks himself then shrugs and decides to find an area to set traps in and lay in wait
He eventually finds a place that had a river run through it which was perfect for his water jutsu; He sets up multiple traps with trip wires hoping that would slow the teams advance and lays in wait atop the trees kunai in hand.
"This is boring Izumo, why'd the Hokage make us do this test anyway?"
"At least it's not guard duty now hush up and keep your surroundings in check."
"Kotetsu's right Izumo, we don't know this guy's strengths or weaknesses, isn't that right Haimaru Brothers." Hana looks down at her ninken whom bark in approval
As they were walking through the forest the dogs start to growl signifying someone is close by, one of them barks alerting them to Naruto's location.
"Izumo, tree five yards in front of you."
Said person nods and takes out his kunai blades and attaches a chain to them ant throws in that direction in an attempt to capture the target.
"Those dogs are going to be a problem…I need to take them out first." Naruto shunshins to the river as he sees the blades come close to his position
"My dogs said he left but they smell him about 40 yards ahead; stay sharp for traps."
"Hai Hana-taicho!" Kotetsu and Izumo chorus as Izumo gathers his weapon before heading out with his team
Back at the river Naruto tries to think of how to mask his scent to avoid the dogs and comes up with an ingenious solution; he looks around his area and finds pinecones and a mud-bank in the by the river.
"All in a day's work I suppose." Naruto mumbles and proceeds to break open pinecones and rubs the sap on his clothing then rolls in the mud, covering his face, hands, and clothing.
Back in the tower everyone was smirking at what Naruto was doing, it was genius really.
"Smart idea, using the environment around you to confuse trackers."Homura states
"That's my boy!" Kushina and Minato proclaim proudly making everyone chuckle
Back in the forest Hana holds up a hand to tell them to stop and bends low to see kunai wire across the path and smirks.
"Found a trap, move back a bit while I disable this."
Hana's team does as told and she throws a kunai at the wire making it snap; a wave of kunai impales the spot where the wire once was. Hana motions her team to go forward and they soon arrive at a place with a river running through it; Kotetsu looks around and steps to his right when a snap is heard.
"SHIT!" Kotetsu yells as a branch whips his way and plows into his stomach making him fly into a tree which activated another trap which launched kunai at Hana, her ninken and Izumo
Said people managed to dodge the kunai but in the process activate another kunai trap and dodge those as well. In the process of dodging however made the team have separate spots in the area, each a good distance from one another.
Kotetsu groans and gets up from the tree he slammed into and was about to go to his team when he felt a kunai on his jugular vein.
"Don't move or your life will be forfeit; I want you to do something for me Kotetsu.
"W-what do you want me to do?"
Naruto smiles underneath his mask "I want you to fight your partner Izumo so that I can take out Hana."
"I am not attacking a comrade!" Kotetsu hisses
"Too bad, though I already knew that you would betray me so I came up with a plan."
A slap is felt on Kotetsu's neck and a slight burning is felt "What did you do to me?"
"That is a control seal, whatever I says go; once I give you the command I add chakra to the seal and boom, you are to do my bidding until I say otherwise. Now Kotetsu, attack Izumo and keep him preoccupied." Naruto adds chakra to the seal
Kotetsu's eyes glaze "Yes Master, I will do as you say."
Naruto takes the kunai off his jugular "Good boy, run along now."
Kotetsu does as asked as Naruto runs off to find Hana.
Control Tower
"That bastard son of mine took my prototype seal from my office!" Minato cries out
Kushina chuckles "Well he did read up on stealth plus that suit helps wonders; just let him be Minato as Naruto was only doing what's best to ensure his survival. Taking that seal was a good move."
"I have to agree with Kushina Minato, use everything to your advantage they say." Jiraiya responds
Anko cackles "This kid is good; I wish we had more ninja like him."
Tsunade chuckles "Well he is going to be whipping the academy students into shape and help with security so we might just see that."
Back at the Forest –With Hana
"Do you sense them boys?" The ninken yip giving her a negative which angers her "How could he just disappear off the radar, it makes no sense."
Hana hears fighting and looks over at Kotetsu and Izumo fighting "What the hell are those two buffoons doing…this is not the time for petty squabble!"
As she looked over she hears a whimper from one of her ninken and looks over to see it on the ground in obvious pain; Hana goes over to see a senbon sticking on the side of its neck, she pulls it out and inspects it. She curses as she catches a whiff of a low level poison most likely used to paralyze.
"Alright gaki, I don't get mad often but you hurt one of my pups…come out you bastard!"
A twig snaps in the forest and Hana reacts "Fang Rotating Fang" she screams as she and her two ninken transform into grey torpedoes that spin toward the direction of the noise; they slam into said area turning trees into toothpicks. As they get out of their jutsu Hana realizes that nobody was there and sensed a deer that ran off shortly before the jutsu hit.
"A deer, I was scared by a damn deer…oh c'mon!"
Another whimper is heard and again Hana pulls out a senbon from her ninken "How can I not sense you!"
The sounds of birds chirping is all she hears then looks over to see Kotetsu and Izumo knock each other out; up in the trees Naruto saw the same thing.
"Well that was convenient; makes my job easier; Hey Kurama, you think using your roar would freak out the pups below me?"
Kurama laughs "I think you and I are going to get along just fine. Sure, have at it!"
Naruto silently drops behind Hana and the remaining dog; the mud and pine sap hiding his scent while he masks his chakra and uses his camo to blend in with the surroundings. He takes a deep breath and channels Kurama's chakra into his throat and roars sending a wave of wind crashing into the two unsuspecting victims who manage to right themselves looking around fearfully to who did that. Naruto attempted to get behind them but stepped on a branch and cursed and heard three words before getting piled rived into the ground.
Fang Rotating Fang
Naruto groans as he gets up and has to dodge a punch from Hana and a swipe from the ninken's claw.
"So you're the bastard!"
"And what if I am?"
Naruto backs up to avoid a kick in the chest but gets pinned to the ground by Hana's remaining ninken. Naruto attempts to get up but Hana orders said dog to bite his shoulder earning a grunt of pain from the one bitten.
"So, what are you going to do now, I have you pinned and forfeiting is not that bad; you just get stuck as a Chunin."
Naruto laughs "Oh, how wrong you are, I have been working on a secret project over my training; my right hand is still moveable so watch and learn missy."
Hana huffs in anger then watches as Naruto runs through three one handed seals then proclaims "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Hana pales as she looks over to the nearby river to see a dragon come out of it and head her way; she orders her ninken to release the captive and try their favorite jutsu in order to stop it.
Fang over Fang
The two grey cyclones hit but the strength of the water dragon is too great and both Hana and her ninken find themselves plowed through a couple trees which knock them unconscious. Naruto stands and chuckles as he feels his heal ability kick in to patch up the bite.
"Well that was fun…next please!"
In the Control Tower
Tsunade is pale like she saw a ghost "Three one handed seals to do a water dragon…the last time I saw that feat done was the Nidame and it was rumored he could do it in one hand sign."
Minato chuckles "The one handed seals is new but when testing his affinities his water one was almost as strong as the Nidame while his wind was almost as strong."
"Well, one team left and this one should be more physical than the others." Jiraiya states while Tsunade excuses herself
"I will be right back; I need to test a theory on why Naruto's water affinity is so strong." She Shunshins to the hospital to run some tests
Anko goes on the intercom "Last test gaki, hope you're ready."
Everyone looks at the screen and reads his lips 'born ready' are what were said making everyone laugh. They also watch him wash himself in the river to get rid of all the mud and stuff from his person; everyone nods knowing it was a smart move. Minato signaled ANBU to gather the downed Chunin team and take them to a hospital.
Forest – Jonin Team Part
Naruto knew this last part would be more physical so he unsealed a scroll from his belt which contained his mission outfit; he unsealed it and went to a secluded area to change into said clothing. Two minutes later Naruto walks out and stretches then unseals his Colt M1911 from his belt; he inspects it then turns and fires a couple rounds into a nearby tree then seals it back up and decides to plan his next move.
The team of Jonin, Shibi, Kakashi, and Kurenai, all sit in a clearing to form a plan of attack.
"Since you know about what Naruto can do to a certain degree, you can form a plan Kakashi." Kurenai states
Kakashi nods "Well, I assume that he has changed tactics seeming the last two groups he passed by relatively easy so that means he probably has one of his guns with him. Using this will be his last resort I think as he does not harm comrades. As for the training he got from Minato a Kushina, we have not seen much of any so far except what he did thus far in this test."
"My hive indicates that someone is nearby and watching over us." Shibi states
The minute he said that a kunai comes flying at them until they hear Shadow Kunai Technique which multiplies the one into hundreds of kunai; the jonin dodge and block most of them then retreat back into the forest; Naruto follows suit.
"Kurenai we need a genjutsu when you see a chance." Kakashi stated
"Hai!"
"Shibi, once he is in the genjutsu, suck as much chakra as you can from his body."
Shibi nods and soon all have to stick to the branches they are on with chakra as a massive gale of wind blasts into them.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough
Naruto rushes in and Kurenai acts, she performs some hand signs and activates her genjutsu "String Bean Binding Illusion"
Vines erupt from the ground and entrap Naruto whom struggles to get free then sees a massive bean pod erupt in front of him with Kurenai coming out of it kunai in hand. Naruto curses as he recognized this lady as Konoha's genjutsu expert and thanks to his massive chakra, he had a hard time sensing them. Seeing Kurenai though made him realize that he was in a genjutsu.
"Any last words gaki?"
"Yah, just one…KURAMA!"
"On it!"
Kurenai became confused until she saw the blast of red chakra making her realize what Naruto meant; the genjutsu breaks and Naruto dodges out of the way of Kakashi's Water Dragon in the nick of time. He felt a slight drain on his chakra and looked back to see Shibi recall his hive.
Naruto creates three shadow clones and orders two of them to attack while he and the other one attempt something that Minato has been teaching him; Naruto still had trouble with it but decided to go ahead and try.
Naruto gathers blue chakra in his hands as his other clone attempts to spin it around while he chants "Spin, control, compact, spin, control, compact."
The two clones he sent attacking were soon dispelled; the technique was finished and a perfect ball of condensed spinning chakra was in Naruto's hands. He nods to the clone whom grabs Naruto's free arm and spins him around and launches him toward Kurenai. Naruto flies through the air with his arm outstretched while his other clone secretly makes three more shadow clones.
Everyone in the forest and in the control tower froze in shock at what Naruto was using. Soon the jonin got out of their shock and acted accordingly; Kakashi grabbed Kurenai and shunshined out of the area while Shibi sent his chakra eating bugs at Naruto whom switched with a reserve shadow clone that was behind Kakashi. The Naruto Shibi attacked burst into smoke shocking him then looked over to Kakashi and gasped.
"Kakashi look out!"
Kakashi looks behind and his eye widens.
"TOO LATE!" Naruto screams THIS IS FOR READING THAT SMUT! 1000 Years of Death: Rasengan Style!"
Naruto shoves the Rasengan up Kakashi's ass launching him into the air then roundhouse kicks Kurenai in the stomach; he adds chakra to the kick which slams her into a nearby tree hard.
Everyone in the control tower sweat drops at what Naruto did with the Rasengan but one person asks the number one question.
"Did our son just come up with that in the midst of battle?" Kushina surprisingly asks
"Well I did teach him the basics of the Rasengan but yah that was all on the spot I think." Minato responds making everyone laugh at the ingenuity Naruto had
Back in the forest Shibi attempts to land a hit on Naruto who dodges some strikes but realized that with every miss; the chakra bugs would slowly leech some out of his system. Getting tired of the chakra drain he jumps back, adds chakra to his fist and slams the ground, releasing the chakra before impact. Trees uproot and turn into splinters as the ground cracks and buckles beneath Naruto and soon a massive crater is formed kicking dust and debris in the air.
Thanks to this, Shibi was knocked back into a tree then had to duck as Naruto sent a kick towards him which hit the tree sending it toppling to the ground.
"Great, another Tsunade." Shibi sweat drops
Naruto soon notices Kurenai emerge from a tree Kunai in hand ready to strike him down; Naruto reacts by slashing a kunai at her. She dissolves into Sakura petals and Naruto curses and blasts out Kurama's chakra again to break it; he was too late to do anything though when Kakashi came out from the forest and punched him in the gut making him bend down and gasp for breath. The jonin followed up with an uppercut which made Naruto fly into the air; Kakashi finished by elbowing Naruto in the solar plexus making him slam to the ground making a small crater.
"You're starting to get your ass beat." Kurama chuckles
"Thank you for that wonderful observation smart ass!" Naruto sarcastically returns
Naruto groans and gets up to see the three jonin surrounding him "Nice weather we're having."
"Give up Naruto, your surrounded." Kakashi stated rubbing his sore behind in the process
"It is illogical to fight Naruto-san." Shibi states making Kurenai nod
"You don't know me very well then. When you have been through the shit I have been in than maybe you will see why I refuse to give up; my country comes first and I would gladly give my life for it."
Kakashi chuckles "Famous last words."
"No, these are my last." Naruto quickly does hand signs and pushes his arms outward "Wind Release: Godly Wind from the Mountains"
A massive gust of wind pulses outward making the jonin fly in different directions crashing through tree after tree and ultimately landing on the ground unconscious; Naruto breathes heavy as the chakra drained from him and his use of jutsu as well as breaking genjutsu took its toll. Naruto laughs knowing what his rank would be then proceeds collapse to the ground passed out from chakra exhaustion.
Control Tower
"Damn, now that is what I call a wind technique!" Koharu and Homura exclaim
Minato scratches his head "Huh, forgot that we had that one in our library…that jutsu would have come in handy multiple times as Naruto just showed."
Before any more chatting could be done Tsunade arrives back in a Shunshin with the results "I don't care what I missed as you all have to see this."
Tsunade shows the test results of her blood compared to Naruto's and it was a 25% match; compared to Kushina it was 50%. Everyone gasps knowing what this meant.
"Dear lord, I knew Naruto was our son but to be blood related to the Senju is just amazing to say the least but how is this possible?" Minato states which Kushina nods as she is just as confused
"Could it be because of Mito Uzumaki and Hashirama Senju marrying and that you, Tsunade are his Granddaughter?" Jiraiya questions
Tsunade nods "Yes, that is my theory on the matter; it seems some Uzumaki blood got retained in the Senju and vice versa; it seems Naruto is now royalty as he is related to our first and second Hokage's."
"Yah, but this will also increase his enemy count meaning that this should not go out to the public." Kushina states making everyone nod
"Hey, you might want to get your son and the knocked out Jonin before the animals have their fill." Anko yells back to the conversing crowd
Minato chuckles nervously and signals the ANBU to do as told. It would be another two days until Naruto woke up but in those two days his rank was released to the populace making everyone happy to see another strong Shinobi out on the field.
Underneath Konoha – After the test
"Sai, report."
Sai bows "Danzo-sama, it seems like Naruto made Jounin rank and will be teaching the academy students how to better prepare in the ninja world as well as upping security in Konoha. What is your orders sir?"
Danzo curses "This is most troublesome indeed, I did not expect Naruto to improve so quickly; no matter, I have just the thing I want you to do. Follow me to my office where we will discuss plans on what is to come."
"At once Danzo-sama." Sai follows his master as told wondering what mission was in store for him
