So here's the latest update sorry for taking a while to update but Work picks up the most n the weekends.
Glad you lot liked the last chapter and in response to why in the manga they didn't kill Gato I think its because it was primarily a manga for thirteen year olds having an actual assassination was too dark for that but glad you liked my idea :D
Yes they do need to rut :P
this chapters shorter than usual but I couldn't expand it with out going into what I wanted t save for the next chapter sorry
"Not only did you continue on with a mission that was too high a rank for your team but you did not inform us about your decision to do so? Then when your team leader got injured you still decided to continue on with the mission?" Sarutobi asked glaring at the group.
"I'm sorry Hokage-sama" Kurenai said quietly. "it was rash and I take complete responsibility."
"very well. As punishment none of you will be getting payed for this mission" Sarutobi said much to the teams delight that it was only a light punishment. "however" he continued "as it was Kurenai who was in charge you will be given an extra punishment. The injury you received from breaking the rules and putting your pride ahead of your team, you shall wear it as a mark of shame and can not cover it up unless on an undercover mission" he finished sternly.
The team wanted to protest but a glare from the Hokage would stop anyone so silently Kurenai removed the bandage over her eye. The scar it's self wasn't so bad but the damage to the eye was another story. The once bright red eye was now a pale milky color worse than that of the Hyuuga's, it was pretty disgusting.
"Good now that that is finished I need to speak to Ghost-san alone" Sarutobi ordered.
Slowly one by one everyone left the room until only Naruto and the Hokage remained.
"That was too far" Naruto growled as soon as they were alone.
Sarutobi sighed "Naruto according to the law I should have executed her for putting her team at unnecessary risk. This was a way to make sure she was punished but still allowing her to remain alive, a ninja and a team leader" the old man explained.
"I still think you went too far" Naruto growled.
"Think what you may but the punishment remains the same" Sarutobi said firmly. "besides that is not why I asked you to stay behind. Listening to the story it s clear you used the Kyuubi's Chakra didn't you?"
Naruto nodded.
"Tell me about it."
"I-I was just so angry i could feel my Chakra it felt as if it was boiling then when Kurenai got hurt I just lost it. The Chakra got hotter and hotter, it was angry it wanted t destroy and my anger at Zabuza directed it's hatred at him. the Kyuubi's Chakra, I don't know how but it did, it interacted with my Doppelganger Technique it tried to mold my body to it's ideal shape. It then gathered in my hand like when I use my storm style but there was so much it ended up filling my entire arm and the Chakra, the idea of Storm Style is to make your Chakra as solid as possible but it always stays a gas, but the Chakra in my arm turned to a liquid and bled out through my pores. To be honest the fact that Zabuza lived through it is a miracle for the man." Naruto muttered.
Sarutobi nodded thoughtfully to himself "so it appears that the Kyuubi's Chakra affect's you physically more than mentally that's good to here."
"n-not entirely" Naruto muttered not looking at the old man.
"What do you mean?"
"W-well while I was in fox form I was hungry. I wanted to feed on Zabuza's organs, drink his blood and do it all while he still lived." It was clear that Naruto was disgusted in himself for feeling like that.
Sarutobi paled slightly at that "well then we just need to make sure you never get in a situation where you decide to use the Kyuubi's Chakra like that. I am going to give you an instructor and you are to use the next few months trying to figure out how to use your abilities to fake a Kekkei Genkai. Then I have an undercover mission for you."
"What type of mission? And who is my instructor?" Naruto asked.
Sarutobi smirked "he's not a Konoha ninja if that's what you are thinking. No instead he is a... friend almost. He owes me a favour and I know he will pay me back with your training. I won't tell you who but let's just say in his prime he could take on the three rennin without any difficulty. Come here tomorrow at eight and i'll have a message for you to give him along with directions. Oh and make sure you do everything you are told." Naruto did not like the smirk Sarutobi was giving him.
"You didn't tell me about the mission" Naruto pointed out.
"I didn't did I" Sarutobi smiled innocently.
"Fine" Naruto sighed. "See you tomorrow."
After saying that Naruto walked out of the room.
...
Naruto found Kurenai and her team at their usual training ground. They were just sitting down looking depressed.
"So who died?" the Ghost asked with a smile.
"W-we g-got y-y-you in t-t-t-trouble d-didn't we?" Hinata asked sadly.
"What gave you that idea?" Naruto asked confused.
"Why else would the Hokage ask you to stay behind" Kiba asked.
Naruto shrugged casually "maybe to arrange some special training for me with someone stronger than the three rennin combined" he said casually.
"WHAT?" Kurenai and everyone else shouted. "Who? There's no one that strong in Kono... You're leaving aren't you?" Kurenai asked weakly.
Naruto nodded "just for two months i'll still be back in time to watch as these three get their butts kicked in the Chunin Exams" Naruto smirked.
"AS IF" Kiba yelled. "WE'LL COMPLETLEY WIN OLD MAN" Akamaru let out a small bark of agreement.
Naruto waved dismissaly "i'm sure you'll lose in the first round. Probably trip over and knock yourself out."
"Ghost-san please stop trying to insult Kiba" Shino asked calmly. "We all know that he is too hard headed to be knocked out like that."
"Yeah what he said" Kiba said proudly.
Naruto, Hinata and Akamaru just looked at Kiba for a second before shaking their heads at his stupidity. "Ok guys" Naruto eventually said. "We just finished our first A-Class mission and we didn't get payed so are completely broke. Since we can't go anywhere and celebrate I want all of you to go home and rest" he ordered.
"HAI" Kiba, Shino and Hinata replied before walking off home.
"So" Naruto began once the three had left. "Want to talk about it or come up with ways to torture those three through training."
Kurenai mumbled something.
"Sorry what was that?"
"You're leaving" she repeated a little louder refusing to look at him.
"It's only for two months it'll fly by" Naruto smiled.
"Two months is a long time" Kurenai mumbled.
"You just hate that you won't get to stare at my sexy ass everyday don't you" Naruto joked.
"DAMN IT I'M BEING SERIOUS HERE" Kurenai yelled.
"That's the problem" Naruto replied calmly "you are being way too serious. I am going away and in two months i'll be back. I don't know why you are so upset but nothing bad will happen, I will be back in two months and if you are worried about leading your team without me then don't be you are an excellent team leader."
"What if you're wrong?" Kurenai asked sadly.
Naruto grabbed Kurenai's hand and started dragging her away to town "what are you doing?" she asked shocked.
"I heard alcohol's good in these types of situations" Naruto grinned.
"We have no money remember" she pointed out.
Naruto smirked as they passed by a couple "way ahead of you."
Kurenai's eyes narrowed "did you just..?"
"I can neither confirm nor deny that I did anything. Oh by the way that couple we just passed was well loaded and the man had a fake ID" Naruto grinned.
"You can't just pickpocket people" Kurenai hissed.
Naruto shrugged "I can, I just did and now we are going drinking."
"No not with stolen money" she whispered quietly.
"...what happened to her..." a voice whispered.
"...oh my god so ugly..."
'...wouldn't touch that with a ten foot..."
"...gonna be sick..." several people whispered loudly.
A wave of killing intent filled the area "next person to speak will have their tongue ripped out" Naruto growled.
"Just leave them" Kurenai mumbled. "My fault anyway."
"No" Naruto said firmly "I refuse to let anyone say anything bad about you."
Kurenai blushed lightly "let's just go to the bar and forget about them" she pleaded.
Naruto gave one last glare at the crowd of people before allowing Kurenai to drag him away. "You shouldn't have to put up with that" he told her.
"It's true anyway" Kurenai muttered. "I'm hideous."
"You re so lucky I don't hurt my friends or i'd kick your ass for that" Naruto growled.
"It's true and you know it."
"It is not true" Naruto growled. "You are a beautiful woman plain and simple."
Kurenai turned bright red at that "let's just go get a drink" she muttered.
"Fine."
Walking in silence the two eventually found their way to a poorly lit bar that Naruto was sure Kurenai picked on purpose. The two had a long night of drinking. Surprisingly Kurenai could hold her alcohol well and whenever Naruto became too intoxicated he just used Doppelganger to remove the effects of the alcohol. It was well past midnight when the two finished.
