Chapter 8 Training, Ero-sennin and revelation

After a long fight, Naruto could only look at Neji with disgust. To think this guy could do something so cruel with his own cousin. In his opinion, family should be care and protect each other, not killing each other.

Yue gives Hinata some treatment to prevent heart failure as she managed to restrain herself from strangling the bastard from his mocking word because she knew Naruto would do a better job.

And about Lee match, it's a good thing Yue shield him from the view as Naruto secretly covers his right hand with his armor glove as he blasts the sand away confuse the onlookers.

But thanks to that, the Jonin can stop the match as Lee only have to rest for a few days to be in top shape again. It's a good thing too since Naruto hates to see someone hard work to be broken down at all. In the end, no one know where that blast came from at all as they drop it.

And after Dosu match, Naruto chances has come. After drawing the number from the box as the match decided:

Uzumaki Naruto vs Hyuuga Neji

Uchiha Sasuke vs Sabaku no Garra

Aburame Shino vs Sabaku no Kankuro

Nara Shikamaru vs Sabaku no Temari

Winner of the 4th match vs Dosu

I can't get anything more perfect then this! Though Naruto

"All of you had seen who you will fight next month, use that time wisely." Said Hiruzen

"Wait… I have a question. If this is a tournament, then does that mean only one of us will be chunin?" Asked Shikamaru

"Not exactly… because in the final, you will be judge not by only me, but also many order judge and even the Daimyo as well. Based on your performance, they will decide whether you can be a chunin or not. So even if the one lost at the first round can be chunin… or none of you will be one at all." Said Hiruzen

So my first opponent is Neji. I already had a countermeasure against him so I need to worry about the Tanuki since I doubt even if he's a Uchiha, Garra is not a normal Genin at all. Though Naruto

Yue signals him to follow her as Naruto said "So are we done old man? Because I have training to do."

"Yes. You are all dismissed until one month later." Said Hiruzen

Later, Naruto and Yue walking at the street as Naruto said "So for fighting Garra, I think I should finish 'that'."

"You mean the 'Titan'? Make senses if you don't want to reveal much. It still too early for the Dragon summon after all." Said Yue

"Yeah I guess so huh? You want to go take a trip to the hot spring first? Because spending long day in that forest make me stink." Said Naruto

"I suppose… But don't even think about peeking. We maybe dating now but we are not there yet." Said Yue

"Wait… who do think I am?" Asked Naruto deadpanned

At the hot spring, Naruto just deep in as he enjoys himself. But then, a gigging was heard.

What the? Oi oi… this pervert had to choose this kind of time to peek? He might not getting out of this alive at all. Though Naruto

Yue also senses him as she then leaves the bath and cut off the binding of the fence secretly as the fence drop down revealing a white hair old pervert. The old pervert laugh lightly as he said "Um… mercy?"

He received none.

After a beating, Naruto then poke at him as he said "Oi you alive there?"

"Stop poking already brat!" Said Jiraiya standing up

"That what you get for peeping." Said Naruto

"How dare you brat? It's for research!" Said Jiraiya

Yue heard that pick him up and throw him inside the spring as the woman beat him up again.

After another beat up, Jiraiya looks at Yue and said "Would you quit that?"

"Then stop being shameless…" Said Yue

"Guh..." Said Jiraiya

Yue then said "C'mon Naruto let's go and start your training Naruto."

"Oh… could it be you're training for the final?" Asked Jiraiya

"Yeah…?" Asked Naruto. Why is this pervert interest in this?

"Who are you fighting against?" Asked Jiraiya

"Hyuuga Neji." Said Naruto

"Oh the prodigy of the Hyuuga huh? How about I train you to face him?" Asked Jiraiya

"Huh?" Asked Naruto. Why is he suddenly want to train him? The 'demon' of Konoha?

But Naruto then said "I refuse."

That was a sucker punch for Jiraiya as he never thought of this. "What?! But why?"

"Obliviously. I mean you just a pervert pop out of nowhere and peeking on my girlfriend." Said Naruto

"Your girlfriend?" Asked Jiraiya

"That would be me. Now can you tell me who are you?" Asked Yue looks at Jiraiya

"I'm glad you asked!" Said Jiraiya as he then doing a weird dance.

"BEHOLD! FROM THE MOUNTAIN OF MYOBOKU, THE TERROR OF VILLAIN AND THE LADY SWOONER, THE GREAT TOAD SAGE IS HERE!" Shout out Jiraiya doing a pose on the Toad he summoned

Naruto and Yue just look at him with ridiculous look. Yue then said "For one of the legendary Sannin, you are quite… a little touch in the head."

"He's one of the Sannin?" Asked Naruto points at Jiraiya

Jiraiya looks smug at that but "I know look can be deceiving but… what can I learn from him to be exact?" Asked Naruto points at Jiraiya

"I could teach you to use that 'other' chakra of your…" Said Jiraiya

"Not interest…" Said Naruto

"Wait… why?" Asked Jiraiya

"That because I already know about that already. Me and the fox already make an agreement." Said Naruto

"eh… eh?" Asked Jiraiya confuse of the event

"Look can we do this quick? Because I need to get back to my training?" Asked Naruto

"Um… how about summoning?" Asked Jiraiya

"Pass… I already have one." Said Naruto

"You got one already?!" Said Jiraiya shocked. But inside he was panicked. If he fail to introduce Naruto to the Toad, Gamabunta will kill him because of ignore Naruto for so long.

"If there's nothing else, then can I go?" Asked Naruto

"Wait wait… how did you managed to have a contract already?" Asked Jiraiya

"Why else? I just found one of course." Said Naruto

"But it's the Toad summon I am offering you! I'm sure this is much better than your summon." Said Jiraiya

If Bahamut heard about this, he might barge in the Toad territory and tear it down… Though Yue sweat drops

"I said again… I'm not interest. C'mon… let's go Yue." Said Naruto

"Wait…" Said Jiraiya but Naruto decided enough is enough as he then smoked the field.

When the field clear, Jiraiya can't see Naruto anywhere in sight at all. So the only thing he can do is go to Hiruzen and ask him.

At the clearing, Naruto said "Why did that guy had to be so persistent?"

"I could think of a few reasons… but let just return to train. We waste too much times!" Said Yue

"Yeah…" Said Naruto

But then a voice rang out "That quite a good way to evade the Toad Sage."

Naruto and Yue turn to the source as they then see a black hair girl wearing a black Yukata with a red Obi.

Naruto then said "Who are you?"

"Oh my apology! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Yoruka Kirihime. The apostle of the Dragon God Bahamut." Said Yoruka

"Apostle?" Asked Naruto

"It means she's like a cultist who work under the God she worshipped. In return, the God grant her an abilities to serve them. Depend who is the God is, the different her work." Said Yue

"As expect of Yue-san. Your knowledge is as profound as Bahamut-sama said." Said Yoruka

"So… why is the apostle of Bahamut doing here?" Asked Yue

"Bahamut-sama request me to assist his race contractor, Uzumaki Naruto to learn Senjutsu." Said Yoruka

"Wait what?" Asked Naruto

"Bahamut-sama learned about that 'secret' project of your Naruto-san. He wishes to assist you in that matter. But because of his work, he could only send me instead." Said Yoruka

"Hah… I see." Said Naruto

"Okay then… I guess I have to rearrange the schedule." Said Yue

"Thank you for your assistant Yue-san." Said Yoruka

Then the schedule is like this. At the morning, Yoruka will help him with Senjutsu while at night, he and Yue will work on the armor.

In addition, he had to wear gravity seal everyday so he could get move faster. Thanks to Lee match, he realized that he needs to work harder.

Thanks to Kurama, he can put more pressure to his body so he could get used to it.

He managed to learn about Yoruka past in his training as well. Apparently before she's the apostle, she was the princess of the ruin country he heard about. It seems that she was frame by the Minister as she was being hunted down. After that, she was able to meet with Bahamut.

Because Yoruka was a normal civilian before so she can't use chakra to be his summon, so Bahamut make her into his apostle instead. And even Bahamut quite surprise too. She is quite strong, ruthless and also managed to acquire a special ability from being his apostle.

Meanwhile, at the office, Jiraiya ranting about Naruto escaped from him. Hiruzen could only sighed and said "You can't blame Naruto for this Jiraiya. If you had been with him in the first place, you won't be in this situation at all. Naruto right now has a capable teacher as he progress to the right path. But the summon is something quite new for me though."

"Where did he even got one in the begin with? I mean it's not like a summoning contrast just lie around? And who is this mentor of his?" Asked Jiraiya

Hiruzen just breath his pipe as he said "Someone quite capable Jiraiya. That I can assure you."

"But how do you this person won't harm Naruto?" Asked Jiraiya

"Trust me Jiraiya-kun. I know…" Said Hiruzen chuckling. His face turns serious then he said "I take it you learn about Orochimaru?"

"Yes… Apparently he's here for the Uchiha. But the part about him fighting Iron Man is the part confuse me." Said Jiraiya

"Speaking of which, do you have any info about this Iron Man?" Asked Hiruzen

"Not much… All I could find is his exploit at Wave. It's like this guy just appeared out of nowhere." Said Jiraiya

"I see…" Said Hiruzen

"Something caught your attention sensei?" Asked Jiraiya

"No. I just had a hunch…" Said Hiruzen

"A hunch?" Asked Jiraiya

"Jiraiya… what if… and this is just what if… Iron Man is someone from Konoha?" Asked Hiruzen

"Huh? Sensei… if Iron Man is someone from Konoha, shouldn't you know by now? And besides, this Iron Man is about this generation Genins age. Won't the Jonin Sensei know if their student is Iron Man?" Asked Jiraiya

"Like I said before Jiraiya-kun, it just a hunch…" Said Hiruzen sighed out. He had pretty much guess who could be Iron Man but many question still remain.

Hiruzen stands up as he said "Anyway, can I trust you about Orochimaru, Jiraiya-kun?"

"I'll see what I can do. But don't expect much sensei. You know how slippery he is." Said Jiraiya

"That's all I asked." Said Hiruzen as he goes outside to get some air.

At the top of Hokage tower, the Academy students leaded by Iruka now had a field trip. Iruka then lecture about the previous Hokage as he show them the stone monument.

After that, a girl then said "Um Iruka-sensei… Who is the Fifth Hokage?"

"Hmm… could it be your very own sensei?" Said Iruka jokingly as he points at himself

"Hoho… I see. Maybe I should get my thing and get ready for you huh Iruka-kun?" Asked the Hokage chuckling

"H-Hokage-sama…" Said Iruka as the students greeting him. Well… beside Konohamaru in a different way.

"Oh no need to worry Iruka. I just felt like paying the monument a visit. You can continues the lesson." Said Hiruzen laughing

"Actually sir… you came at the perfect time. Please come over here." Said Iruka

"All right…" Said Hiruzen

"Listen everyone. This is the person whose face is above you, the 3rd Hokage. The one who was a genius that had the nicknamed 'the Professor'. And it's also said that he possessed great strength, even compared to the other Hokage." Said Iruka

"Iruka-kun… why are you using the past tense?" Asked Hiruzen looks at Iruka

"Ah… my apology sir…" Said Iruka

"Really… this old man? He doesn't look that strong at all." Said the other kid

"Look can be deceiving. This geezer may look old, but he's strong. That's the lesson Boss taught me." Said Konohamaru

Hiruzen chuckles at that and though Only Naruto…

"Konohamaru… while what you said is true, but the 'geezer' part is unnecessary… And class, don't say that! You all should know that the title of Hokage is for the strongest Shinobi in the village." Said Iruka

"All right! Then I can be the Hokage. Since I'm strong and cool." Said a boy standing up

"Not with your grade…" Said Iruka lecture

"Hahaha… Then I'll be waiting. Who know, a future Hokage could very well emerge from this group!" Said Hiruzen

"But remember one thing children… no matter what path you choose, never forget to protect people precious to you." Said Hiruzen

"What do you mean Hokage-sama?" Asked a boy

"For example… your parent, your friend… or anyone that hold special place in your heart. Only then, you can become strong." Said Hiruzen as he remembers a certain couple.

The class start chatty at that as a boy then asked "Um… then what about you Hokage-sama?"

"Me? Of course it is my grandson over there… Konohamaru… and the people in this village too." Said Hiruzen smiling

Back to Naruto, he had just finished today training. Naruto then said "Hmm… maybe we should get the old man. I mean it's oblivious that Yoruka will be staying here for the time being."

"Yeah…" Said Yue

"Maybe I could visit Lee while at it." Said Naruto grinning

"Um… He at least deserve that after all." Said Yue smiling

Naruto then meets up at the Hokage but he stills outside so they could only settle visiting Lee first. They found Lee room then the three senses "Bloodlust" Said Yoruka

"From Lee room?" Asked Naruto as they dashes off

In Lee room as he sleeping, Garra is call out the Sand as he was about to crush him but Naruto raises his hand up and summon out chain to bind Garra. Naruto then said "What do you think you're doing?"

"… I want to kill him…" Said Garra

"Why? You obliviously won your match. Wasn't that enough?" Asked Yue

"Why? Because I just want to…" Said Garra

"Okay… Then get out of this room now Tanuki. Or do you think you can do whatever you want in a fox territory?" Asked Naruto

Garra then starts chuckling at that as then he looks Naruto with an insane smile "So mother was telling the truth. You are 'it' container."

"Calling that Tanuki as your mother? It seems you need to get your head exam. So withdraw your sand, and do it." Said Naruto tighten the chain.

"Very well…" Said Garra withdraw his sand as Naruto then reattach his chain.

Garra walks to the door as he then said "Mother told me that forget about that boy and focus on you instead. So when our fight come, make me feel alive… Uzumaki Naruto."

"Oh I can't wait!" Said Naruto smirking as Garra shunshin away.

Yue then checks on Lee as she said "He's okay. He's still sleeping soundly."

"Then let's us go then. We don't want to disturb his rest." Said Naruto as the three leaves

After that, Gai appears in the room as he mumbled "Look like I owned your student a debt Kakashi. I just hope that he can survive against that Garra."

Naruto, Yue and Yoruka visited the Hokage after that. Hiruzen could only sighed as another potential dangerous assassin appeared in Naruto life. Honestly, why his surrogate grandson is a magnet to this type of girl?

And at last, the Chunin Exam final is here. At Naruto home, all resident had wake up as they then get ready. Yue then said "I take it this is the time to announce yourself to the world huh?"

"Yeah…" Said Naruto smirking

"Then wear this… Today is a big event after all." Said Yue

"Thanks." Said Naruto as he then wears his new clothes. Naruto right now wearing a black shirt with brown pant. He also wearing a dark blue coat as well as wearing a sunglass.

"Now shall we?" Asked Naruto

"Of course." Said Yue

"I'll follow you anywhere Naruto-san." Said Yoruka smiling

At the stadium, many guests had arrived as the match also will be broadcast throughout the world allow other who can't attend can see as well. Beside the other 6, Naruto, Sasuke and Dosu still not here. Hiruzen looks down with concern. He knows what happened to Dosu since his ANBU had found his body after a few days at the Preliminary. Naruto he know won't be late unless something happened and Sasuke is with Kakashi. He just hope those two can be here fast.

The Kazekage came as Hiruzen then greet him. After that is a big speech from him.

Genma then said "All right. Before we begin, I need you to take another look at the chart first."

Genma shows them the chart as the only thing different is Dosu name no longer there.

Shikamaru look worried since Naruto is still not here. He then raises his hand and said "Hey… what will happen if the contestant of the match doesn't show up?"

"If he or she didn't show up at their match, they will lose by forfeit." Said Genma

Shikamaru looking at the gate as then a footstep was heard.

Out of the gate reveal Naruto who was wearing… quite stylist for the match. Shikamaru could only said "Troublesome blonde."

"Yo Proctor. I'm not late am I?" asked Naruto

"No. We just about to start so get over here." Said Genma

Hiruzen sighed out in relief at that as Jiraiya appear beside him. Jiraiya then said "Got to admit, the kid had style."

"Yeah… but a little too flashy. But he won't be Naruto otherwise." Said Hiruzen chuckling

At the field:

"All right listen up. As you can see, the landscape maybe different but the rule is the same as the prelims. You fight until one of you either admit defeat or die. And if necessary, I'll stop the match." Said Genma

"Then the first match is Uzumaki Naruto vs Hyuuga Neji. Besides these two, everyone else please go to the waiting room outside of the field." Said Genma

At the stand, many though were out as Ino said "Naruto maybe improve but this is Neji we're talking about here."

"Kid gone far… but I guess this is it for his luck after all." Said Kotetsu

"Yeah… This is the genius of the Hyuuga Clan after all. He doesn't have a chance at all." Said Izumo

Kiba heard that though That what you all think. There's something different in Naruto and I think we are about to find out.

At the match down at the field, Neji said "So… do you have anything to say?"

"I'm sure I can save some for the later." Said Naruto smiling

His eye… he confident that he can win. Though Neji

"All right… the first match… BEGIN!" Said Genma as he then leaves the field

Neji got in to his stance as in the stand, Hiashi said "Watch closely Hanabi. You are about to see the power of the genius of our clan."

Hanabi nodded as she observed the match.

Naruto smirks and then said "Hey quick question Neji… What make you have this mind set anyway?"

"What with the question?" Asked Neji=

"I don't know, I just curious…" Said Naruto

"Fine… consider this is a gift." Said Neji as he then tell Naruto about his family, and his fate.

After that, Naruto then said "Okay… so you hate Hinata… because you hate the Main Family. But you do realize that what you did at the Prelims is no different than the Main Family right?"

"So? It's her fault for being weak. If she's weak, then she's useless. Just like you." Said Neji

"What do you mean by that?" Asked Naruto

"I heard about your dream. You wish to be Hokage. Hah… what absurd! Look around you, there are plenty shinobi who are more talented than you. Do you think you can be Hokage? Fate had decided who we are. And once a loser, always a loser." Said Neji

"True… If it's the old me, I would lash out." Said Naruto adjusting his sunglass. Naruto then said "But right now, I felt that dream… is no longer important for me anymore."

Many onlookers know Naruto widen their eye at that. Naruto then said "Do you know why I want to be the Hokage? Because I want the villagers to acknowledge me, accept me for who I am. Quite childish don't you think?" Asked Naruto chuckle

"What's your point?" Asked Neji

"The point is… I was so focus to being a Hokage that I lost my sight to the true meaning of being the Hokage." Said Naruto making other confuse at that.

"It's not being Hokage that gain acknowledgement. It's being acknowledgement that you become Hokage. And the only way to do that is to fight your own fate, breakthrough your own limit. Something that you have never tried to do Neji." Said Naruto

"What are you talking about? I have become the genius of the Hyuuga Clan. I surpass the Main House." Said Neji

"No you did not. Even if you managed to, so what? All you did was throwing a tantrum about Main Family this, Main Family that. Heck I can see the look on Hinata face when she fight you, she's truly want to see you as her brother. And what did you do to repay her? You attacked someone who show kindness to you. All you did is doing the same as them. Chained down by your own Fate and hurting other who want to help you. So in my eye, you are not a genius. You are just a weakling who bully other weaker than you." Said Naruto looks at Neji with disappointment

Neji angry at that as he said "At least I'm better than a worthless trash like you."

"Worthless you say?" Asked Naruto smirking at that. He then said "Nee Neji. Last question? Do you know about Iron Man?"

"Iron Man? You mean the person who liberate Wave Country and a potential S-rank Ninja?" Asked Neji

The onlookers could only look confuse at that question while Yue and Yoruka smirking at that.

"What do you think of him?" Asked Naruto

"Hmph! He's a man with great destiny. And he's probably from a powerful clan as well. This is my example, a talentless orphan like you can never be like him." Said Neji

Naruto could only snicker at that making Neji said "What's so funny?"

"Oh it's nothing. Well then Neji, to reward your honestly, allow me to show you something that will engrave to your mind." Said Naruto

Naruto body then starts to have chakra leak out as they start to solid themselves. The chakra then cover Naruto as they then start to have metal clashing sound. And then at the finish, the facemask then close with a 'clang' as Naruto said "Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. And I am… Iron Man!"

Done. Iron Man identity had been revealed throughout the world. Now then, what will the reaction be? Incase no one know about the new female character, look at 'Saijaku no Bahamut'. Please PM or Review
