For the Greater Good Chapter 9
Minato and Kushina and their kids were getting ready for the Chunnin Exams which would begin in Konohagakure in a few hours, and this one would be very interesting. This year there would be a much larger quantity of gennin from many other villages entering in the exam than ever before.
From Konoha there were many notable potential shinobi, clan heirs and strong ninjas that would become the future protectors of their village, all powerful in their own right, and most had the drive to achieve greatness.
But pitted against them were many other shinobi, fierce gennin that were the pride of their villages, strongest of the batch that could be sent to participate in the exams, coming from villages like Kumogakure, Kirigakure, Sunagakure, Amegakure, Kusagakure, Otogakure. All were vying to show their superiority in this war like simulation that worked as a substitution for the real thing, after all shinobi were made to fight and protect. Iwagakure however would not be participating as Konoha and they were sworn enemies since the Great War where Minato had slaughtered half of their forces single handedly.
But the worst thing that came from this was the hassle of hosting, they needed to fortify security and keep their eyes vigilant, and what made it even better was that Konoha shinobi had targets on their backs, after all being the strongest village militaristically and economically had downsides, like everybody trying to fight their way to take that top spot. Foreign shinobi would indeed be looking to cause some pain to the Konoha participants while they were there.
The Hokage was explaining this to all the Konoha gennin gathered before him that were taking part in the exams, he warned them to never drop their guard and wished them good luck, to try their hardest. Once they had finished however they would begin their journey to the Academy where the first part of the exam would be explained to them.
…
Naruto, Naoko, and Sasuke were walking along the road to get to the academy where they were supposed to report to for the first part of the exams, they had wished their parents farewell and began to discuss what things would be like. They knew that these things would require individual work, but also teamwork, they would focus on what a mature and skilled chunnin would need to know, helping teammates, thinking things out, and finding the hidden meanings within hidden meanings. Kakashi's team believed they were prepared for all aspects and so they entered the academy and handed their consent forms to their lazy team leader who was standing next to the entrance.
"Good luck team, and even though we didn't train a lot as a unit, I believe that you are all prepared for what is ahead. Just remember the fundamentals and trust in your instincts, you are after all, legacies of great shinobi." Kakashi began to depart to the waiting lounge and ponder over what he would teach his students if they made it past the first and second parts of the examination.
Naruto opened the double doors and began to walk down the hall turning to get to the stair way that would take them to the room where they would get instructions on the first part of the exam. Naruto began to head down a hallway but noticed that something was off, he saw a crowd ahead of him and a door that was covered in a genjutsu being blocked by two shinobi, they looked like younger versions of two of his father's shinobi, Kotetsu and Izumo, and then he realized they were Kotetsu and Izumo, this was a test of theirs, if these gennin couldn't see passed a simple illusion how would they fair against something that was life threatening and couldn't even recognize when something in their surroundings was off. Sasuke began to walk towards it but Naruto put a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't give the genjutsu away Sasuke, this will thin out the ranks, besides if they can't get to the test on time they won't get in, and if they can't see passed this illusion they have no place being here." Naruto continued walking to where the actual exam was taking place with Sasuke and Naoko following behind him, both thinking how Naruto noticed that, they hadn't even caught it until Naruto pointed it out for them.
Naruto reached the room and pushed the doors open not expecting to see that many shinobi gathered in the area, he had hoped that most were distracted by the genjutsu. However not wanting to draw unwanted attention to himself and his team he quickly moved on and walked to the sides but a hand grabbed him and he turned to look towards who it belonged to. He came face to face with Temari and her siblings who were giving him death glares; probably they thought that something happened between them when she didn't meet up with them after that night.
Naruto knew what she wanted and pulled it off of his back what he had been lugging around the entire morning, giving Temari the giant war fan back to her. They then looked at each other for a few seconds three on three, Naruto to Temari, Naoko to Kankuro, and Sasuke to Gaara. The confrontation and assessments they were giving each other didn't go unnoticed to all the shinobi in the room, they were after all probably the most threatening people in the exams, being the children of the leaders of their village, they were sure to have a harder time than anybody else with probably a lot of teams trying to harm them. The tension in the room could be cut with a knife.
"You know, you shouldn't draw so much attention to yourselves." Spoke a voice from the side of them, a silver haired boy with glasses, his headband showing that he was a leaf ninja. "You can attract a lot of unwanted attention being who you are, attention you do not want in this situation."
"And who might you be, getting into business of ours friend, putting yourself in the same spotlight by talking to us." Naruto said not taking his eyes off of Temari.
"A fellow leaf ninja by the name of Kabuto, a shinobi who has taken these exams several times, somebody who has gathered all the information that can be gathered about this exam, increasing the odds of success." Kabuto retorted.
"Well then I suppose you know what to expect, care to fill us in." Sasuke was now interested in the boy, if he had any information that could help them, he would take any he could get.
"Since you are fellow leaf shinobi and fresh out of the academy what can I help you with?" Kabuto was suspiciously forthcoming with this information, even if they were from the same village which did not go by unnoticed from both the Konoha and the Suna teams.
"Do you have dossiers on individual participants in the exam?" Sasuke questioned already knowing who he was going to look up.
"Indeed I do," Kabuto confirmed.
"Can you look up Suna participants, Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro, all with the title of no Sabaku." Sasuke let out which caught two of the Suna shinobi off guard, the third kept a cold expression on his face.
"Sure thing," Kabuto took out things that looked like flash cards from his pouch, he held out three with his fingers and pushed chakra through them, then he looked at them. "Collectively they are known as the Sand Siblings, all three are children of the Fourth Kazekage, and it seems they are all very skilled, as a team they have completed eight C rank missions and one A rank." This information got an unimpressed look from Naruto and his team, the shinobi that surrounded them and were listening on the conversation however were shocked.
"On to their individual skills, what intelligence tells me is that they lack in taijutsu and genjutsu, however they make up for it with their special skills, Gaara somehow has the ability to manipulate sand, Temari uses that fan of hers to deploy powerful wind type jutsus, and Kankuro uses the art of puppetry that is a Suna unique skill type but even only used by a few in their village-"
Kabuto was however unable to finish telling everything about the information when Kankuro went up to him looking extremely angry and lifted him up by the collar, "Where the hell did you get that information punk!" Kankuro shouted right in his face.
"Shut up now or be disqualified!" Came a voice from the head of the classroom, enveloped in a cloud of smoke, "Everybody settle down now!" When the smoke dissipated what was revealed was a squad of Konoha shinobi with one man at the head. "I am Morino Ibiki, proctor of the first exam, now each of you pass in the copies of your consent forms, in exchange for one form you will be given one number corresponding to a seat number in this room, you will go there and shut your mouths until told otherwise!" Ibiki's final remark got everybody moving going into turn in their forms and get their number. After a couple of minutes everybody was situated in their seats. Naruto was sitting next to a random Kusa ninja around the middle of the classroom, Naoko all the way in the back and Sasuke was closer to the front, It seemed most of the teams were separated from each other.
"All right listen up because I won't repeat myself and I will not take any questions, the first part of the chunnin selection exams this year is a paper test, there are rules to this paper test," Ibiki began to write on the chalk board at the front of the classroom, " Number one, each one of you starts out with ten points, the test has ten questions, each question you get wrong is minus one point, do not forget, this exam is still a team event, whether you pass or fail is determined by the sum of your teams points, now, if you do anything out of the ordinary leading us to think you are cheating, we will subtract two points from everybody on the offenders team, also, if anybody loses all of their points, that person will be disqualified, and since the exams are team based, that team will fail. You have one hour to complete the test, now GO!" Ibiki finished leaving the whole room clouded in a tense mood, his gaze seeming to fall on everybody in the class, the gaze of the proctors also falling upon the gennin, like vultures circling weak prey.
Naruto looked over the test and began to read some of the questions, however everything he was looking at was probably beyond anything a normal gennin could answer, however he and his sister, with a mother like Kushina, got a heavy load of academics all their lives and could handle the problems. But that didn't mean everybody else could which was the point of the test, you had to cheat to find answers and not get caught doing it.
Ibiki was a great manipulator of the mind, he spoke so little but in those words he instilled into the gennin a seed of fear and doubt, uneasiness in doing something wrong and failing their team, heck they didn't even know how many points they would need to pass, or how many teams could pass. All adding up to a mystery that only mature shinobi could handle.
Naruto looked around already knowing how everything would play out, he didn't need to worry about the test and put his head down to rest for a little bit, maybe work on his relationship with the Three Tails, they hadn't been able to speak for long since he had acquired it.
Naoko was in the back wondering what her brother was doing, going to sleep at this moment, what a douche, he need to help out their team, but she couldn't scold him at that moment. Instead she focused her attention on the questions at hand, easy work for her indeed, it was a time like this that she knew would come, when her mother's numerous hours of studying things like math and chemistry and physiology and history would pay off.
Sasuke close to the front was looking at the test over and over his onyx black eyes panicking, now wishing that he hadn't rejected Kushina's offer to study with Naruto and Naoko on all that crap that he hated to look at, now looking at him on this test, the universe laughing at his lack of the knowledge of gifted scholars. A pink haired girl was next to him, and all he knew about her was that she was also from Konoha and that her name was Sakura from when she introduced herself to him when they were taking their seats. She seemed nice and normal other than her hair, he however was pulling at his own black hair trying to pull the answers out of his brain but nothing was coming out.
Sakura noticing his distress felt sorry for him, she had a slight crush on him too and for some reason felt like she should help him, so she took the leap, "Sasuke, do you need help?" She shifted over her paper slightly showing him the four questions she had answered already. Sasuke seeing this gesture was surprised, they had barely met but she was willing to help him? Even though he really wanted to do it he couldn't, what if she failed because of him, what if he failed his team by doing this and getting caught. Instead he activated his Sharingan, ready to copy the movements of the guy furiously writing in front of him.
"I can't, I'm sorry but thank you for the offer," Sasuke whispered sincerely, on the inside Sakura was kind of relieved, Sai would totally have her head if they failed because she was giving away answers, that emotionless gennin gave her the shakes with his fake smile and unnatural demeanor, he was also quite skilled from what she had seen of him in combat.
Twenty minutes into the test, a kunai passed by Naruto's head which would have struck him if he had his head up, but he hadn't, he was instead inside his mindscape discussing what having the tailed beast in him would do. So far he found out that his ability over water would increase dramatically, which was good for Naruto because water was not something he liked to use often, nor earth, he was more of a wind, lightning, and fire type. However having good ability with another element was a bonus. Naruto would now have access and manipulation over techniques he could not previously access.
"Hey you asshole what's the deal!?" Shouted an Ame ninja towards the proctor who threw a kunai at his test, he was from Ame, and those guys had short tempers.
"That's four strikes, get your team and get out," The proctor with bandages over his eyes said.
"That's bullshit you can't even see!" Retorted the Ame gennin. He didn't get another comment out as the proctor threw a pen at hit him, hitting him in the head making the gennin caress where it hit.
"Get your team and get out," Repeated the proctor. But no sooner did other proctors start throwing kunais at the tests of other gennin, those that were hoping the commotion of the Ame gennin would distract the proctors so they could get some quick answers, teams were getting caught quickly, all cursing their luck and the proctors.
After a massive cluster of teams finished getting caught, things began to settle down, and soon they reached the forty-five minute mark signifying that the tenth question was about to be given.
"Alright runts, that's forty-five minutes, time for the tenth and final question!" Ibiki looked around and found quite a lot more teams than he expected there to be still, this year had many participants and it looked like he had only cut their numbers down by at least a half. "But before I give it to you, you need to choose whether you will accept or reject the question, also if you choose to reject it, you will lose all of your points and your team will fail immediately, but if you do accept it and get it wrong, you will never be allowed to take the chunnin selection exams again."
"WHAT! We know there are people in here who have taken this exam more than once, that doesn't make any sense!" Kiba shouted out to the man, bursting from his seat.
"Yes, but unfortunately for you, I was not making the rules in the previous exams, tough luck runt. So, anybody choose to reject the tenth question!?" Ibiki looked over the group hoping this would get them cut down even more, and it did, a wave of hands flew in the air and all chose to reject the final question, they and their teams began leaving the area. "Anybody else!?" Ibiki again looked around, they still had quite a lot of people, seventy-eight in fact, and they all looked like they were in deep thought, except one, one with his head down, a lot of spiky blonde hair flowing down his back, his fingerless gloves visible along with his black long sleeved shirt. Ibiki looked away from the boy to see a couple of people trying to find the gut to keep their hands down, their hearts in fear of being gennin forever.
"WAIT MOM I'M SORRY! PLEASE DON'T CHOP OFF MY NUTS!" Naruto shouted out into the room, he had jumped out of his chair throwing it back and into the desk behind him, "Oh I'm sorry, is the test already over?" Naruto said rubbing the "sleep" from his eyes, looking at Ibiki, a mischievous smile on his face. The two had met before when his father needed to see an interrogation take place, they liked each other because they both knew how to manipulate the minds and the hearts of people, how to raise their spirits to make a person see you as their best friend, or rip apart your soul until they think you are the shinigami having fun.
The gennin in the room all had smiles on their faces from the blondes scene, thinking it funny that he had slept through the test, and imagined his mom was going to neuter him, they now had the confidence that they needed to put their hands down and take the question, if he could sleep through this psychological nightmare, and have this calm demeanor, they could tough out the final question.
Ibiki looked at the boy who had now sat down and glared at him, Naruto still had his mischievous grin, knowing what Ibiki was trying to do, Naruto had just countered it and instilled morale into the gennin with a bit of humor at his expense.
Ibiki looked away and saw the small smiles on the participant's faces, their hands down, then and there he knew it was over, his fellow proctors nodding their approval. "Very well then, I am proud to say you have just passed the first part of the Chunnin Selection Exams! Congratulations!" Ibiki said losing his calm and serious expression.
"What about the tenth question!" Temari stood up confused.
"The tenth question was whether you would accept or refuse, you needed to show courage in a situation that looked hopeless," Ibiki said with a smirk.
"Then what was the point of the other nine questions!? Just a huge waste of time!?" Temari questioned now angry.
"Those questions did have a purpose, as I am sure many of you realized, this exam was meant to test your intelligence gathering abilities, whether you could gather information without getting caught, a skill expected of any chunnin, and because in the real world getting caught can lead to fates worse than death," Ibiki finished and took off the bandana on his head covering the numerous scars that he had received from torture at the hands of enemy shinobi. "There will be times when much is required of you with a new rank, and any chunnin of their village will be a willing soldier, protecting the interests and the people of their village, you must do everything that is expected of you, you will have no choice, you will have orders and you will have people depending on you, this was to test whether you would take those orders, even in a no-win situation, and if you would rise to the challenge before you and not fail those who depend on you, your teammates."
All the gennin in the room took that in, they let it seep into things that they would always remember on how to conduct themselves as ninja, a basic a thing taught to them, just like how to handle a kunai.
"Now for the second-" Ibiki was interrupted when an object broke through the window of the classroom and unwrapped itself to reveal a banner and a women standing in front of it.
"Alright bitches! No time to celebrate, we need to get moving to the second part of the exams… What the fuck… Ibiki there are seventy-eight people here! You passed twenty-six teams! You're losing it grandpa, soon I'm going to take your spot as the Head of the Torture and Interrogation Department! But do not fear Ibiki, I will cut them down by two-thirds, and the rest will be scarred for life when I'm done with them! Oh yeah, I am Mitarashi Anko, chief proctor for the second part of the exam, LET'S GO!"
Everybody was looking at her bewildered, the man that just tested them was the head of the Torture and Interrogation unit of Konoha, the Sadist who could break anybody? And the women standing before them was confident she would take over that position because he was "losing it," how bad would it have been if he went full force, how bad will it be with this Anko lady?
…
Naruto, Naoko, and Sasuke were at the entrance to the Forest of Death, they had been hearing horrible things coming from in there for a while now.
"Don't worry guys, there are places far worse than in there," Naruto was trying to cheer his team up, they looked nervous and he knew what being nervous could do to a person in situations like the one they were about to be placed in.
"Oh, really?" Anko had overheard this and took out a kunai from her satchel, then at high speeds tossed it at Naruto meaning to graze his cheek but instead, Naruto caught it in his hand.
"I believe you dropped something Proctor Anko," Naruto twirled the kunai in his hand, walking towards her he gave it back, and whispered close to her ear, "If you want my blood, just ask me next time, and you can drink straight from the source." He began to return to his team leaving a blushing Anko just standing there.
"Well, now before we get started on the exam, I need you all to sign these consent forms so that I won't be held responsible if you die, when you and your team have filled them out, take them to the hut behind us. Moving on to the test itself, it is a no holds barred survival test, all teams will be given a scroll, there will be two types of scrolls, you need both types to pass, once you have both scrolls head towards the tower in the middle of the training ground, open them, and wait for further instruction, you may use any and every means to gain these scrolls, so a lot of you will probably die by not only enemy shinobi, but by the dangers that the forest holds, let's just say there are many hungry things in there, things waiting to kill you, so good luck folks, you have five days." Anko waved to them and took off with a wink.
"All right guys, here's what we need to do, get to the tower as fast as possible, since everybody is headed that way we can snag a team who will probably be weakened from fighting, and the chance will be higher that they have both scrolls so we can get the one we need with no struggle, understood?" Naruto laid out the plan, hoping to evade the attack of Orochimaru by not sitting in the forest to long, hoping that things wouldn't go down as bad as they did last time, but now he was stronger than he was when facing Orochimaru, he had already killed the man once, even though it was a slight struggle he knew he could do it again.
….
Naruto and his teammates were running through the forest at high speeds however Naruto was slowing down, his sister and friend were fast, but nowhere near as fast as him, and they were still not making the time that he wanted. "Do you guys need a break, we've been on the move for at least an hour." Naruto saw how winded they looked, and was wondering if sacrificing a little time was worth them catching their breaths.
"Yeah bro, I'm getting tired." Naoko said with her hands on her knees leaning forward taking deep breaths. Sasuke was sitting on a log trying to catch his breath too.
"Alright then, we seem to be close to a lake so I'll go get us some food, you guys begin setting up a camp, Sasuke set traps and establish a perimeter, Naoko start finding firewood so we can cook." Naruto began to walk to the river that bisected the training area and looked into the river finding schools of fish to prey upon, with the appetite Naoko, Sasuke, and himself had, he would need about eighteen. Naruto put up his hand with a quick Bansho Tennin pulled twenty fish out of the water, he then took out a senbon with a string attached to it and began to kill the fish and thread them together so he could carry them all at once. The young shinobi began to walk towards where they were supposed to set up camp and found it was coming along well, a fire was started and Sasuke was already back from setting up traps.
"Hurry up bro I'm hungry!" Naoko's stomach growled in agreement. Naruto grabbed a few sticks that were on the floor and began to impale the dead fish on them so he could slowly roast them over the fire, he had his special spices in his pouch, along with the rest of his shinobi tools, he was ready to season the fish so they could enjoy a good meal in this dank and deathly place, good food was always a morale booster for shinobi. An hour later that was proven as Naoko belched in her content state rubbing her belly, Naruto and Sasuke followed suit and they began to take down evidence of their encampment, taking out the fire and picking up their things, leaving the traps in hope that they would catch some unlucky team and take them out of commission.
"Time to move on." Naruto began to nibble at the last fish that he had and started walking in the direction of the tower, Sasuke and Naoko checking their equipment were walking behind him.
"So what are we going to do if we encounter another team before we reach the tower?" Sasuke asked, he had confidence in his abilities and those of his teammates, but he was always one to be cautious, and for all they knew there could be somebody in these exams that could take them all on.
"We create a strategy, implement it, and work as a team to overcome whoever gets in our way." Naoko said simply and cute like.
…
Team 7 was walking for quite a long time paying close attention to their surroundings, and when they reached about the three-fourths point towards the tower they heard it, it sounded like a massive battle was taking place with explosions and large crashes, the earth was shaking and the wind was shifting directions, the air was saturated with chakra. "Should we go see what's happening, we could capitalize on whoever is fighting and finish them off and get some scrolls in the process." Naruto was curious to see what was going on maybe two-hundred feet from their location.
"Yeah let's go, these may be some easy pickings!" Naoko was excited to get into combat and see how she faired against shinobi from other villages. She began running in that direction and when they finally reached the area they saw the aftermath of a battle, there were craters on the floor, trees looked like they were sliced in half, and at the center of it all was a couple of shinobi teams.
From their head bands they looked to be sound ninja, with one grass ninja at the head, opposite them were a couple Konoha ninja, one with a bowl cut and what seemed to be a spandex type jumpsuit, another was a pink haired girl, a boy with short black hair and a backpack holding a brush in his hand a scroll in the other, to the side were the Sand Siblings, Temari had her giant fan at the ready, Gaara had his arms crossed, Kankuro was behind his puppet. On the side to all of them was an unconscious black haired boy.
"What should we do, big bro?" asked Naoko, not liking the situation, she sensed that most of the players here were all powerful, especially the grass ninja who's chakra was off the charts, an amount that around a Kage level ninja would have.
"We need to help the Konoha team, they look like they are the most vulnerable, I don't know why the Sand team is here, we'll just have to see what's what when we get down there, be sure to watch out for the sound and grass ninja though, I have a feeling they are the most problematic in this situation. Be on alert for anything and everything." Naruto laid out what they were going to do and prepared himself, he was the only one here who could take on Orochimaru, but being careless was not something you did when the snake was around, no matter how strong you were.
Naruto and his team jumped into action landing in the middle of all the teams, defensive positions in front of their Konoha comrades, this earned surprised looks from every shinobi in the battleground. "What's going on here Sakura?" Asked Sasuke who was the only one who knew a member of the people that they were defending, but that didn't matter, they were from the same village, and for that reason they would defend each other.
"These sound shinobi and that grass shinobi began attacking us saying they were looking for "anybody who stood out, worthy to become his next vessel," whoever "he" is, then Lee came to help us when he saw Sai and I were in trouble, Yutao my other teammate was knocked unconscious, these Sand shinobi got caught in the cross fire and started getting attacked by the sound team. The sound group is really strong, especially that grass guy, he's been toying with all of us the entire time but I don't know why he is siding with them." Sakura explained looking exhausted and injured. So did the rest of them.
"So Temari, are you with us or against us!?" Naruto shouted out towards the Suna team.
"Neither, we are leaving, they seem to have a quarrel with your village shinobi, we just thought it prudent to assess the abilities of these candidates, but now that you're here we are leaving." Gaara finished up answering for Temari, they began to withdraw into the forest leaving sound facing leaf ninja. Not before disappearing Temari looked back and gave an apologetic glance towards Naruto, if she disobeyed, Gaara would surely kill her after she was no longer needed.
"So Orochimaru, have you branded anybody yet?" Questioned Naruto stepping forward a bit, this drew confused looks from everybody around him.
"And who might you be? Knowing who I am and confronting me in such a way, and how do you know about the curse marks?" Orochimaru stepped forward also making himself more prominent, ripping the skin off of his face to reveal his true form with the Otogakure symbol on his headband, a devilish smirk on his face. "Wait one second… blonde hair that falls to his lower back, Konoha gennin, confident, on the team of the last loyal Uchiha of Konoha, you must be the son of the Yondaime! That bastard who took the title of Hokage from me, well I wonder how he will feel when I slaughter his children, and your loquacious mother, oh how the fury of that women will reign down on those who slaughtered her babies. Let's not keep the action stalled, this will be the last fight of your lives, give it all you have, and maybe if you impress me, I will take one of you as my vessel. Oh what an honor it will be for you." Orochimaru pulled out a kunai and licked it with his extremely long tongue.
"We won't lose to trash like you Orochimaru." Naruto began to walk forward, his sword unsealed now in his hand.
Authors Note thingy-
Ok so first off, to ArthurB, what clichés? Also author whoring? Really, how? "Summoning and marriage contracts, etc." like there is a lot more things but there isn't anything, I want Naruto to get stronger and to have love, but in a fun way, and I don't add things to look badass, I add them because I think they are cool, also he does have the animal path, but have you seen the animals that Nagato summons to be anything but stupid and brainless, I don't want that, I want sophisticated summons that can actually help and not be something he tosses at his enemy. Also he will not get sage mood, maybe Naoko, tell me what you think about that.
To God-ShadowEx100, dicks like you exist in the world and I accept that so all I can say is what I say to them, fuck you asshole with a smile on my face, and then imagine me spitting on you. Also I like the CRA when it is done right so yeah. Also learn better English, if you actually read what you wrote you'll notice you sound stupid.
For Minato being pushed around, he wasn't I don't see where you guys got that, he was just deflecting because he didn't take the CRA because he loved Kushina which I thought was the obvious reason for him not being in the CRA when I put in the line about Kushina killing the elder if she was there. As for Naoko being in CRA, I'm not keen on making women baby factories by force like that, uncool man.
Minato will be strong, you'll see when the invasion comes juniorreal and Token Human.
Naruto will take over ROOT, Danzo will die, I need opinions on if Hiruzen should die, if the idea sounds cool I might but I like him too much.
Harem will probably be Temari, Mei, Tsunade, Kurotsuchi, Samui. I might work in that Tsunade can still have kids because she is part Uzumaki so she might have that longevity thing going for her and like being 50 is like being 25 for Uzumakis.
Tell me if you want more, I'm thinking of getting more like Kurenai but I am sad to take her from Asuma so if she is in he has to die. Anko, I'm not sure because she scares me. Yugao maybe but then I will have to kill Hayate, because infidelity makes me sad. Maybe Yugito, not sure how that would work but maybe, also Konan and Shizune, Hinata, Ino.
As for the Sasuke thing, he MIGHT get a harem, I might put Naoko in it or Sakura, or Tenten, or he may have just one girl. Tell me how it should go for him, never really thought about his life.
As for the Naoko thing, should she get a dude, and if so who?
As for summoning contracts, hmmm… maybe a toad, maybe a crow, maybe Danzo's summon when he dies, maybe Anko's snakes if she gets in the harem, might be eagle, however that one might go to Sasuke, might have Manda as an option if I kill Orochimaru in the invasion, tell me if you want him dead, he probably will the way I have it planned. Might be a tiger, I want him to have the Gedo statue though, still wondering how to get him one. Dragon feels overpowered so I might not get him that one, might have him go to Uzu and find out that he can have a contract with the Shinigami, after all I mean it can be summoned right, I just won't have him die, but it still sounds overpowered.
As for the lemons, might make one of Minato and Kushina, might make one of Temari and Naruto like a spontaneous thing.
Thanks for the support, hope you keep reviewing and giving ideas, let me know what you think pretty please, I like picking brains, figuratively and in real life, they are so pink.
