Foxfire
Chapter 10
Here is the next chapter. Also, if you are wondering, I am going to rewrite Kaze no Kitsune….I am not all to happy about how it came out.
"Whoa!" Naruto called out as he ducked under a stream of pink flames. Regaining his balance, Naruto saw his training partner and teammate smirk at him before she sent out a few balls of pink at him while Jiriaya observed from the side lines eating popcorn.
"So let me get this straight, you tried to contact your friends again, but instead went to a completely other world and met a few other versions of yourself. That and one of them was big and green?" Sakura asked as she watched Naruto dodge all but one of the pink fire balls. He had caught one fire ball and charged it with his own blue fire. He then threw the now pink and blue ball of flame back at Sakura.
"Yeah and when the Orochimaru of that world kidnapped the fire lord's daughter and then that Naruto went in a berserker rage and the other mes had to subdue him." Naruto said as Sakura dodged the attack.
Sakura chuckled and said. "Only you Naruto. You are the only person who could say that and I would believe them."
"Hey!" Naruto pouted.
"And even for me, that is strange." Jiriaya commented before he gained a lecherous grin appeared on his face. "But I must say, your other selves are quite lucky in the girl department. This Akatsuki sounds like a lady killer, the green you has THE Fire Lord's daughter, and this Paradox might eventually get with this Supergirl."
"Oh will you knock it off Ero-sennin!"
"Argh! Don't call me that!"
"Then stop acting like a perv!"
"Never!"
"Boys." Came Sakura's eerily calm voice and when they looked at her, she was smiling evilly. "Now you two stop or I WILL POUND YOU INTO THE GROUND!" She yelled with pink flames in her eyes, making her look more intimidating.
"Yes ma'am!" The two squeaked out in unison.
"Good, now let's train some more. Naruto has a chunin exam to win!" Sakura cheered with a smile on her face.

"Hey, when he wakes up, do you think we should scare the crap of him?" came Beast Boy's voice.
"That would be a cool idea." Cyborg whispered.
"Why would we want to scare the poo out of my brother?" came the oblivious reply from Starfire.
"They just want to prank him Starfire." Robin groaned.
"I don't think that will work you two." Raven smirked as she watched Naruto 'sleep' in his bed.
"Why?" BB blinked.
"BECAUSE I AM ALREADY AWAKE!" Naruto yelled as he shot up into a sitting position and a henged face that was that of a crazed clown.
Beast Boy screamed like a little girl and jumped into a screaming Cyborg's arms. Robin and Starfire were in a similar position while Raven was smirking the whole time.
After they calmed down, they noticed that Naruto was on the floor laughing and gasping for air. "Y-you should have seen your faces." He said as he finally stood up.
"Dude! That was freaky!" Beast Boy cried out as he jumped down from Cyborg's arms.
"I have to ask though, how did you know we were there?" Cyborg asked.
"You guys have to pass through my mind to get to this world and it is kind of hard to miss." Naruto deadpanned before he smirked at Robin and Starfire. They were frozen in shock while the boy wonder was still holding his sister bridal style. "Ahem."
The duo looked at each before blushing and then laughing with everyone in the room, but not before Starfire got out of Robin's grip.
"So, where have you all been?" Naruto asked with curiosity.
"We had to beat Slade into the ground after he took over jump city…" Robin grumbled.
Blinking, Naruto gawked. "Man! That could have been some good training!" He paused for a moment to see there was something in their eyes and it looked like betrayal and for some reason, he did not want to know what happened.
"So, what did you do while we were gone?" Raven asked and before he could answer, he felt another presence in his mind and decided to let her answer.
"Well, after you all disappeared, he tried to get a connection and it ended up in my head." Came a familiar voice to the Titans. They turned to see that Blackfire relaxing in a chair near Naruto's bed with a smirk on her face.
"Sister!" Starfire exclaimed.
"Hello little sister." Came her playful reply.
"Wait, aren't you supposed to be in jail or something?" asked a clueless Beast Boy.
"I got out on good behavior." Lied Blackfire through her teeth.
"heh, I found her in a bar." Naruto replied. "Some space bar."
Starfire looked at her sister in worry. Blackfire only drank on the day that her brother disappeared.
"Yeah well, you don't have to worry about me drinking anymore, now that Foxfire is back." Balcfire grumbled at her sister's look.
"I still don't trust you." Robin replied with narrowed eyes.
"Think what you will traffic light, but now that my brother is back, I don't need to act like I did." Blackfire replied with rolled eyes.
"Wait, you were acting bad just so you could cope?" asked Cyborg.
"Yes."
"Anyway." Naruto interrupted before things got out of hand. "When you guys disappeared, I connected Terra and we trained here for a bit and then Blackfire came around." Naruto paused for a moment and then said, "Of course, she too disappeared not long after you guys did."
That would explain some of her powers, but he will be crushed when he finds out what happened. Robin thought sadly.
"So Blackfire kept you company while we were gone?" asked Raven.
"For the most part. Of course when she was traveling through space, I could not contact her." He paused for a moment and asked, "Speaking of which, where are you now sis?"
"I am on top of the tower." Was her nonchalant reply.
"Cool!" Naruto cheered. "Hey, can you all wait in the next room while I get changed. Then we are all going to Ichiraku's before the Chunin Exams start. I got a few things to share with you all."

Once there, the old man was crying with joy that his stand was full of people and quickly got to work. "Ok, the first thing I want to ask is, do we have a special power to give our power to normal humans?"
Starfire and Blackfire blinked before looking at each and then saying, "No."
"Well we do now." Naruto commented.
"How?" came Blackfire's reply.
"I created this jutsu that simulates our strength , but as I found out, there are some side effects."
"Who used this jutsu and what are the side effects?" asked a curious Stafire.
"My teammate Sakura used it and it has given her pseudo Tameranian powers." Naruto replied.
Robin blinked. "Wow…"
"Yeah and her fire is pink"
"Dude! That is hilarious."
"heh, don't let her you say that. She was already scary when pissed, now it is worse." Naruto commented as their food came. The rest of the time, he recounted his time in the alternate world where he fought his hulk like self with the help of his other selves."
"Wow that is interesting. So instead of finding us, you found yourself….deep." mocked Raven with a smirk.
"Dude, that is so funny! You sung the Sailor Pot Head song!" laughed Beast Boy.
"You know, Akatsuki, Paradox, and this green you sound familiar." Cyborg stated while rubbing his chin.
"Huh?" was the collective response.
"Comic books. It would seem they are windows to this Marvel world and our alternate realities."
"Awesome." came Beast Boy's response, even though he did not understand it.
"Well, I better get there. I'll see you in the stands." Naruto said as he quickly.
Beast Boy looked to Cyborg and smirked. "He is so going to kick butt!"
"Got that right!"
"Yes my brother will do the kicking of the butt!" Starfire cheered, getting odd looks from Robin and Blackfire.
"Come on, let's get some seats before they are out." Raven said with a small smile as she watched Naruto walk off. Blackfire noticed this and smirked.
As they walked toward the stadium, Blackfire asked in a hushed whisper, "So sister, did you tell Naruto that he is going to have to take more than one wife?"
"Um….no not yet." Stafire replied thoughtfully.
"Oh ho ho, I can't wait to see his reaction." Blackfire chuckled.

As Naruto was walking to the Chunin Exam Stadium, he was questioning himself on if he could win against a genius like Neji, no matter how much of an ass the guy was. Hell, he was not even watching where he was walking and ended up near three training posts and someone seemed to be training. Must have come here while I was on auto pilot. That someone was Hinata. "Oh? Hey Hinata."
The girl "eeped" before spinning around to see her crush stand there. "H-hello N-naruto kun!"
"So what are ya doing here?"
"I-I was t-training a bit e-even though I s-should be r-resting." Hinata replied a little ashamed.
"Heh, well I am not going to yell at ya. I would be a hypocrite if I did." Naruto laughed. "But please, don't overdo it."
"O-ok." Hinata blush a bit at his concern and then blinked owlishly at him. "Shouldn't y-you be at the e-exams?"
"Yeah but I got side tracked as I thought that if was not good enough. Like I am a failure still. I could not protect me friends in the other world from Slade ya know, but somehow they pulled through. Maybe I am the one who is weak."
"That is not true!"
"Huh?"
"I know you can win, Naruto." Hinata said without the stutter. "Remember that time, when you cheered for me, back in the preliminaries. I felt like I could become stronger than ever before. When the preliminaries ended, I was finally ended, I was able to like myself a little. To everyone else, it might seem that nothing has changed about me, but I feel different, like I am a better person now. And I have been thinking, that it was all thanks you, Naruto.
The blond a completely shocked look on his face. "Hinata, you….you really believe that is true, I mean I was just the dead last back in the academy." He paused a looked a little sad. "I may look strong to you, but all I ever do is mess things up. I act all tough, but underneath it all, I am just a huge failure."
"No that is not true!" cried Hinata louder than usual. Even when you messed up you were always a…a…how can I say this. A proud failure from my point of view."
"Huh?"
"When I look at you, you just fill me with just so must admiration!" She then got a little quieter and begun to poke her fingers together. "I am not saying you are perfect, I mean no one is, but when you do make a mistake, you have the guts to pick yourself up and keep trying. I think that courage, to keep going no matter what, is what real strength is." She begun to blush some. "I just think you are an incredibly strong person, Naruto!" After she said that, she partially hide herself behind one of the posts.
"Heh, thanks Hinata, I needed that. I was feeling kind of down because I was not there to help my friends, but I feel a hundred percent better now!"
"I am glad you do!" Hinata chimed with clapped hands and smile.
"Alright, I am off to the match, thanks again." He said as he started to walk up, but stopped and faced her some. "Hinata, I kinda thought you were...um…gloomy, always terrified, and basically completely weird." He replied
"Oh…" sighed the girl as a gloom cloud begun to form over her head until he said the next thing.
"But you know….I like people like you." He performed a few hand signs and called out "Summoning Jutsu!" He was then in the air on a ghostly blue Phoenix. Before he took off, he called out, "Oh yeah, make sure to watch me as I wipe the floor with Neji!" With that, he rocketed towards the stadium. He never got to see Kiba trying to wake up a very red Hinata.

"Man…where are they?" droned Shikamaru as he waited with the others in the stadium for Naruto and Sasuke. He did not really care for Dosu even though he had to fight the guy. He looked up into the stand to see Sakura, Ino and Choji up there…along with Naruto oddly dressed friends and sigh. "What a drag."
He then noticed that the sky was darkening and they all looked up, only for their eyes to widen as they saw a giant flaming bird, before it shot down in front of them in a column of blue flames. When it cleared they all saw Naruto standing there with his arms crossed and his eyes closed. HE opened them a smirked. "Check it, Naruto Uzumaki is here!" For some reason, the crown roared with cheers.
"Troublesome blond, always has to have a grand entrance." Shikamaru mumbled. He never noticed that Gaara was eyeing the blond with a sick smile now, but his siblings did and prayed for the blond.
XXX
Up in the stands, Beast Boy whooped for joy. "Dude! That was awesome!"
"I'll say!" cheered Cyborg.
"Yes, our brother seems to have a flare for the theatrics." Blackfire commented with a chuckle.
Ino rounded on them after she heard that. "Brother?"
"Yes, I am his older sister, Blackfire."
"I am his twin sister, Starfire!" cheered the red head.
"Wow." Ino blinked while Choji continued to munch on his chips but blushed a bit at Blackfire.
"You have got to be kidding me!" exclaimed Kiba as he and Hinata had just arrived. "You are related to Naruto!"
"Yes." They answered.
Kiba smirked and leaned in. "Well my name is Kiba and I am sure Naruto has said only good things about me."
"I have never heard of you, should I have?" asked a clueless Starfire, to which just fell on his face. Blackfire just laughed. "Oh wait! You're the boy Naruto beat with our puppet selves!"
That brought a gloom cloud over the dog boy. Ino could not handle it anymore and held her sides as she laughed hard.
Robin gave the guy a look of sympathy.

Genma was actually smirking at the display and called out. "Now that our first contestant is finally here, we can start! Will Neji Hyuuga and Naruto Uzumaki please stay here while the rest go up to the stands? The first round shall begin!
After a few minutes, it was only Naruto and Neji facing each other off with Genma in the middle. "First match. Naruto Uzuamki vs Neji Hyuuga…..begin!" He said as he jumped away, however, nobody moved.
Finally Neji spoke. "You should just give up now. You winning against the Inuzuka was a fluke. I shall win this, as decreed by Fate."
Sighing, Naruto said. "So you are on that Fate stick huh? Well how about I beat you and you forget about that crap because Fate is just a useless word to me."
"I will show you that Fate exists!" Neji said angrily before Naruto threw a few kunai , to which he just caught effortlessly.
Naruto smirked before he brought a fist up and then slammed it into the ground. Everyone's eyes bulged when the ground was broken up and Neji was having a hard time keeping his balance thanks to the ground cracking and rising up some.
Up in the Kage box, the Hokage and Kazekage were sweat dropping at there for different reasons. For the Hokage it was because he feared that Naruto would get along too well his student Tsuande and for the 'Kazekage' was because he barely survived fighting the boy.
"Still think that Fate said you had to win?" Naruto's remark came and Neji roared as he jumped from rock to rock as he begun to fight the blond. Naruto smirked as he back flipped and perform his Shadow Clone Jutsu, creating about 50 of him.
With his Byakugan activated, Neji glared at all the clones and was surprised to find that they all had the same amount of chakra in them. "What the hell is this!" However, he didn't bother to listen for an explanation because he went off to the one that he thought was the real one and delivered a palm strike right to the blond's neck. The clones begun to disappeared and he deactivated his bloodline. That was a mistake.
Naruto laughed a she disappeared in a poof of smoke. He had been up in the air after he had made his clones. How Neji didn't see that was a mystery to him.
"Where are you!" Neji yelled.
"Up look" Naruto said. The Hyuuga looked up and paled. In the air were three Naruto, who prepared to blast him with beams of ghostly blue flames.
The hell? Thought Neji alarmed as the jets of flame came at him. "Gah….looks like I have to use it! Kaiten!" he then spun around so that his chakra created a sphere of swirling energy. The three jets of flame bounced of the attack but not in the way people expected. They spiraled off, creating a spiral indention in the already destroyed ground. That made the whole go quite.
XXX
"Whoa ho!" Kiba yelled with huge eyes. "Wasn't that something Akamaru?"
"Arf!"
"The Kaiten….i wonder how her learned it." came Hinata quiet reply. Raven heard her and raise an eyebrow.
"I assume it is hard to learn?" she asked, making the hyuuga jump a bit.
"Y-yes, not many branch members can learn that attack." Hinata said, gaining some courage through her anger at this girl.
The Titans looked at her oddly before Choji waved them off. "It's a clan thing."
Meanwhile, Sakura and Ino where having their own conversation. "So who do you think will win this awesome battle?" Ino asked.
"I am betting on Naruto since I trained with him during the month." Sakura replied as she watched the battle with wide eyes.
"Yeah, I do hope he wins." Ino smiled widely.
XXX
"Well…that was certainly interesting." The 'Kazekage' commented.
"I agree. For Branch member Hyuuga to learn that is amazing, although, it seemed a good choice to use that to deflect the jets of flame." The Hokage observed.
XXX
That attack, it is similar to the Rasengan! Thought Naruto as he touched down, which was a mistake because Neji had his Byakugan active and he was mad.
"I had to use that on such a commoner is such a disgrace!" He raged as he blinked from his spot to right in from of the blond, who blinked. "Eight Trigrams Sixty Four palms!
2 palms!
4 palms!
8 palms!
16 palms!
32 palms!
64 palms!"
After all the strikes dealt to the blond, Naruto fell right on his back from the force of it all. At that, there was collective gasp. "Protor…call it. He won't be getting back up."
Gemna looked back at Naruto a smirked. The boy was far from done as he was struggling to get back his feet.
"I am not done with you yet!" Naruto growled to a shocked Neji.
"You should not even be able to get up after that! I blocked all of your chakra points!"
"I am full of surprises. Now I will win like I promised in the preliminaries, for Hinata AND Lee!"
"Why won't you stay down? Fate has deemed you a failure and as such, a genius like me out classes you." Neji sneered.
"Again with that Fate crap. Why do you rely on that?"
Neji sighed as he took off his head band the wrappings underneath it to reveal an odd green seal. "See this, this the curse seal of the branch family of the Hyuuga Clan. It was put there to ensure our bloodline is kept safe, but it is to keep us in line. My father was killed because of this seal!" Neji growled. "You have lived on the streets without a care in the world…so what would you know about the pain of a seal destroying you life!"
The stadium went eerily quiet as Naruto's hair went over his eyes. Ino, Choji, Hinata, and Kiba…along with Lee, who had juts arrived a few minutes ago, felt the killing intend from Naruto's oddly clothed friends and Sakura. They could tell that thing battle was about to get fierce.
"Don't know about the pain of a seal destroying my life?" came Naruto's deadly voice. "You don't know the half of it. I had a seal put on my the day I was born. You say you can't escape your Fate because of some simple seal in your life. Well, I am here to tell you this. You are dead wrong."
"Oh? How so?"
"If I had taken your way, I prolly would have been broken into a weapon like Gaara, or let the villagers kill me when I was younger. I decided I didn't like that and fought tooth and nail to be here today and it is only thank to my bloodline that I am able to live freely. You see, it broke through my seal and destroyed my dark burden. I am a Jinchuriki no more!" He yelled out, making a lot of eyes widen. Though most of the younger generation had no clue what he was talking about.
"Jinchuriki? The Power of Human Scarfice? What does that have to do with you and this so called 'dark burden?'" asked Neji, now curious.
Naruto smiled bitterly as his eyes shot to the Kage Box. "You wanna know….heh, I am sure everyone in the younger generation would like to know." Came Naruto's hollow reply, scaring a lot of people. "You remember the old Nine Tailed Fox that attacked our village? Well, the fourth could not kill it, so he did the next best thing when dealing with the Tailed Beasts. He sealed it…in me!"
Absolute Silence.
"Yeah, and the older generation thought that I was the demon that killed many that day…me a new born baby! They could never get it passed their thick skulls that I was merely the jailor….that one thing that kept the beast at bay from killing everyone, yet every year there was an assassination attempt on my birthday by none other than the villagers." Naruto growled. "And again, it is thanks to my bloodline that it is now gone…forever!"
Up in the stands, there were shocked faces all about, however, the younger generation where starting to question the older's sanity. The most shocked however, were Naruto's classmates as they finally put all the pieces together. The sand sibling were shell shocked.
"So take that Fate stick out of your ass and live your life for yourself!" Naruto shouted.
Neji looked to the sky as he watch some birds fly by. "If you can beat me, then I know there is a chance and I will believe that Hinata-sama can become strong to get rid of the clan's seal."
"Fine by me!" Naruto cheered with a smile now as he had finally got to Neji. "AARRRGHHH!" he yelled as he forced open his chakra points in a huge explosion of chakra that formed a crater around him and made his hair and trench coat whip around like it was in the wind.
"You know, that makes him look cool and kind of cute." Ino observed.
"YEAH NARUTO! KICK HIS ASS!" Kiba and Sakura yelled before the whole stadium erupted into cheers for the blond.
"You can do it!" Cyborg cheered.
"All night long!" Beast boy joked.
"Yes! Kick the butt brother!" Starfire cheer.
"You can do it…I know you can." Both Hinata and Raven said, but they didn't seem to notice.
Naruto smiled a true smile. "Your right. I can do this." Naruto's voice echoed, but then felt strange for some reason. The remains of the old seal begun to glow a bit before his chakra skyrocketed and then that chakra begun to swirl around the blond as it changed form. First it was his ghostly blue flames that took its place and then a few more different colored fires joined in.
Up in the stands, Sakura, Stafire, and Blackfire were glowing with their fires, shocking those around them. Then for some reason, Hinata begun to glow as well.
The colors that joined Naruto's were: Sakura's pink flames, Starfire's green, Blackfire's purplish black, a lavender that belonged to Hinata, a yellow that obviously came from Minato, a red from Kushina, and surprising, white, from Paradox.
Naruto blinked owlishly before he smiled and held out both hands and the fires compressed into a ball in his hand. "I think this battle is over Neji." He said loud enough for the boy to hear and flung the ball of multicolor to create a jet stream of heat. Had Neji not thrown up another Kaiten, he would have been fried.
The fire flew past the protective barrier and into the wall, breaking it open. The force of the flames moved Neji's Kaiten away quite a few yard before they both cancelled out. However, Naruto did not give him much rest as he threw multiple fire balls at the Hyuuga and Neji had to use the Empty Palm Jutsu to cancel out the attacks, but that created a smokescreen.
Naruto smirked and used that as his advantage. He made a ball of spinning energy in his hand and combined that with the multicolored flames. "Flamethrower Rasengan!"
The blond charged in threw the smoke, shocking Neji with this new attack. The Hyuuga barely had enough time to throw up another Kaiten before it connected with the barrier. What happened next was shocking to all the Hyuuga watching, including Hiashi.
The flames of the new Rasengan combined with the Kaiten, creating a tornado of multicolored flames, however, Naruto eventually broke through and slammed the ball if chakra into Neji's gut. He seemed to stay there for a moment, until his body begun to spin and then shot off into the wall, creating an indent in the wall…with his body stuck to it right above the hole. Barely conscious he called out some everyone could hear, "I…accept defeat." He said as he watched the birds fly away and then he passes out.
The stadium was dead quiet until Genma got out of his shock. "Winner! Naruto Uzuamki!" The crowd burst into loud cheers that could be heard throughout the village.
Hope you all like that! Review! Up next is my Naruto/Supergirl crossover.
By the way, i am curious about Hinata. Should she go over to the Titans world with Naruto or no. If not,i am doing the Sasuke/Sakura thing, but with Naruto and Hinata...
