Ok everyone here is the final quick update, so im just going to put a quick not up here to answer some questions, somebody asked me about why isn't the villagers trying to take or trade for equipment and tech. which is a very good question but at the beginning naruto states what would happen if this all fell into the wrong hands, so he isnt willing to trade this stuff. another thing is where are they getting their goods? Hunting should already be a given, that and increased trade with other villages and small countries bring in new imports.

How are they paying for all this you might ask, i have mentioned it a few times, donations and mission pay, sure it might not seem like much but it can add up do to a lot of different missions. now i will admit he brought up one thing that i can't remeber putting in my sotry, where are they getting all the fuel? i thought i added it in the second chapter but he created seals to where they can slowly expel chakra, and in this story Naruto is smarter than your average bear, so i think he could easily make it to where these vehicles could run on chakra, but funny thing is i already had a whole system written out to how long vehicles can go for with a certain amount of chakra.

Now he also asked who attacked Naruto in Ame? which for me wanted me to smack my head against my desk, it was Pein, if you think back to past event in the manga, which is usually where i basing my stuff off, Pein kill Hanzo in what looks to be his late teens early twenties. im thinking he would be about thirty or so at the time of the Chunin exam meaning he would be in power already.

Any other questions please PM me so i can answer questions at my leisure.

Ranger Naruto

Chapter 10

Naruto awoke the next morning to his alarm clock, smacking the off switch he sighed as the noise stopped as he laid back down; his mind was a jumbled mess today due to what had happened yesterday however today was making him queasy because it was the beginning of the Chunin Exams in a couple hours.

Sighing he sat up to start his morning routine, getting a cold shower to wake him up he finished getting dressed, however before he could finish there was a knock at the door.

He opened the door to his surprise he saw Haku waiting for him already dressed for whatever the exam through at them, he saw her blush he looked down and saw he forgot to put a shirt on; rubbing the back of his head he chuckled, "Good morning Haku-chan, you ready for today?"

Haku tore her eyes away from the toned chest as she nodded her head still blushing as he ushered her into his room. Naruto quickly finished getting dressed as Haku looked around the small apartment; the place was kind of sparse of furniture however she could see pictures of different people around the house.

Naruto slung his rifle over his shoulder saying, "well this is going to be fun, let's go Haku."

"Hai Naruto-kun, are Scar and Joker going to meet us at the Academy?" Haku asked curiously, however her answer came when they open the door to see the two standing outside.

"Hey boss, you ready to piss off some Genins?" Joker said as he hefted a machine gun up.

Naruto blinked at the weapon, "isn't that Juggernauts?"

Joker nodded seriously, "Yeah I figured it would be right that Juggernaut was with us in at least one form for this."

Naruto grinned, "Sounds good, just don't let it kick your ass."

With that he pushed past them and exited the apartment's complex with his team following behind. They walked through the morning streets already awake with the buzz about the starting Chunin Exams, more than a few people were wishing them good luck while also secretly wanting to see what a Ranger could do in the Exam.

They arrived at the Academy with no other Genins in sight, which was expected do to the first part not being for another couple hours, they quickly made it to the room, opening the door Naruto was surprised a few Jounin along with the Chunin proctors talking.

Ibiki looked up when he heard the door open to admit the Ranger Squad, he grinned as he was thinking of the ways of breaking a Ranger mind, shouldn't be too harder than any other regular Genin he supposed.

Naruto waved at the man, before the Proctors disappeared along with Ibiki who grinned at the blonde, making him shiver at the slightly demented look he was given. Naruto turned back to the remaining Jounin Sensei's of 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Naruto nodded to Kakashi who gave his patented eye smile, Naruto greeted them, "Hey guys getting the last bit of betting in?"

He was amused when the four had the decency to look ashamed however Asuma nodded his head, "Yeah, so please make sure you don't kill my Team."

Naruto grinned slightly, "I won't but if they cross our path they will be treated to some pain experiences."

Asuma's color drained from his face as he raced out the door followed by Gai, Kakashi, and Kurenai to warn their teams.

Naruto sighed as he motioned his team to the front of the room; Naruto took a seat where Iruka use to sit when giving them lectures. Haku idly watched him over his shoulder as he began reading another report from the Wave outpost; Joker sat on the desk as he pulled out his knife starting to etch Juggernauts name on the side of the gun, Scar took out a book he had picked up a while back as he started to read.

The room started to fill quickly, the other teams to arrive early was the Sand, The Sand siblings looked surprised to see someone already there however when they saw who it was they moved quickly to the opposite side of the room followed by their comrades. The other major villages soon joined the group as the room started to become crowded; Naruto was still surprised at how many arrived, they had to use an extra classroom which was where the lesser villages were located to take a separate first exam before rejoining the rest for the second Exam.

Many of the teams were eyeing the group with confusion as to why there were four when only squads of three were allowed, however none questioned them as their respective Kage's told them to keep an eye on the group, so far the Rangers were acting calm even though KI was being directed at them from every direction to see if the gather group could get some kind of response.

The last teams to arrive in the room were the rookies who were loud and boisterous, Naruto actually blinked when the KI was redirected to them, he was surprised when another Leaf Genin he never saw before say, "you may want to keep it down, a lot of people are a bit high strung due to the exam."

The white haired Genin pushed his glasses up, "I'll cut you rookies a break," he said as he pulled out a deck of cards, "these here are my personal Nin-info cards that I have collected through the years I have taken the exam."

Sakura blinked as she asked politely, "Years? How many times have you taken the Exam Kabuto-san?"

He chuckled as he smiled, "Sadly I have taken the Exam 7 times, and I always get to the end and wind up failing."

He asked them if they wanted to know anything, Sasuke stepped forward, "Sabaku no Gaia, Rock Lee, and Ranger Naruto."

Naruto blinked from his position, he had never had a last name, it oddly felt right however the first card Kabuto pulled was Gaia's, "Sabaku Gaia is a Kunoichi from the Hidden Sand village, has completed 9 C-rank, 8 B-rank, 14 A-rank, and 3 S-rank, nothing is known about her capabilities except that she has returned from these missions without a scratch."

The Genins showed more fear making Naruto wonder when they ran into him, Kabuto pulled out another, "Rock Lee is a Genin from the Hidden Leaf village, has completed 25 D-rank, 21 C-rank, 4 B-rank, and 1 A-rank, Taijutsu is off the charts as nothing is known about his Nin and Genjutsu capabilities."

Kabuto pulled out the last card as the entire room waited to hear about the blonde, some even cast glances at the blonde to see him amused while his team stood by, "No this was tougher as Naruto doesn't have an actual last name but has lately been called by many as Ranger Naruto, he isn't a Shinobi as he is assigned as a new warrior class under the direct command of the Sandaime Hokage, while they report to him the Hokage states the new appearance of these Rangers as they call themselves are Konoha's new allies."

This caused many who thought they were ninja to turned surprised to see the now calm face of Naruto as Kabuto continued, "They are entered in this exam by the Hokage and they have entered the exam with a four man squad instead of the customary three, Naruto is the previous host of the Kyuubi no Kitsune until it somehow managed to break free before disappearing a few years ago."

This was news to practically everyone in the room, a former host still alive? It was however the truth was as the blonde was sitting there breathing, Kabuto said as he continued to read oblivious to what was going on around him, "Do to being the Commander of the Rangers and the only one with a citizenship in Konoha all the missions complete fall under his name, "234 D-rank, 132 C-rank, 89 B-rank, 90 A-rank, and 32 S-rank."

The assorted group of people were surprised as they were picking their jaws off the ground at the number, The Rangers completed that many in only a span of a month? "Naruto seems to have no Nin or Genjutsu ability while his Taijutsu is said to be formidable, this teen has already met with all the Kages which most can't say to have done, some missions of note are the liberation of Wave Country from the business mogul Gato."

When he finished he saw everyone staring at him in surprise however he found the reason soon after when he heard a click followed by a cold voice, "so you are the one eh?"

He turned his slightly see Naruto look down at him coldly, Kiba was shocked he would pull a weapon on another Genin from leaf, "Naruto how are you even here? And why do you get a squad of 4 instead of 3?"

Naruto flicked his eyes to the Inuzuka, "the Kage's requested I make an appearance in the Exams, and because as were not ninja our squads are set up differently."

Sakura seemed to have different question as she saw Naruto's team corral Kabuto's teammates, "Naruto-baka why are you pointing that at Kabuto, he is a Genin of Leaf!"

Naruto looked annoyed, "What I am doing is keeping a Traitor secure until Ibiki arrives."

Kabuto who heard the name attempted to run as his teammates attacked the Rangers, however he didn't make it far when three shots rang out. Kabuto crumpled to the floor in pain as he lost the use of his legs, quickly realizing his lower spinal cord was severed beyond even his med-jutsu.

The white hair teen felt fear for himself when he saw the lifeless eyes of his teammates as he felt someone slap a seal on his back as a voice called out, "What the Hell do you think you're doing Naruto!"

Ibiki had apparently made an entrance finally, Naruto spoke coldly as he motioned at the down teen, "This man here has been the one sneaking into the Records room, and he won't be running anymore, so have fun with him will ya?"

All the Genins looked at the blonde like he was crazy, this blonde just shot and killed two Leaf Genin, and wounded another and he was bossing around the proctor? Ibiki blinked confusedly until he grinned directing a few Chunins to get rid of the bodies, "Now there will be no more fighting unless you want to be automatically disqualified, form a single file line and come get your seat number."

However no one moved for a minute until Sasuke spoke up, "Why does Naruto get a four man team? And if he isn't even a ninja he shouldn't be here."

Ibiki growled as more than a few Genin nodded their heads in agreement, "Naruto has been asked to attend this Exam by the Kages and their respective Daimyo's."

Now he yelled loudly scaring a few of the Genin, "SINGLE FILE!"

Naruto's team moved quickly to form one followed soon after by the rest of the Genins to accept their seating arrangements. Naruto noticed that his team was broken up to different sections of the room, as Ibiki explained the rules of the exam before telling them to begin Naruto flipped his paper over to see that there were questions he could pretty easily understood; trusting that his clones skills hadn't got soft he started answering questions.

Fishing in fifteen minutes Naruto tilted his head to see Haku finished before tilting to the other side seeing Scar was also finished; Naruto jerked his head slightly to indicate behind him if Joker was finished.

Scar nodded his head but rolled his eyes in exasperation, Naruto turned around fully and sighed seeing Joker had went back to etching Juggernauts name into the gun again; He noticed a few of the Genin were getting distracted by how his team had already finished and the slight chipping from Joker as he etched.

Naruto turned back around before pulling out a minor document and started to read it for the rest of the hour. When the final minute was finished with only six less teams Ibiki gave them the rules for the tenth question making another two teams quit, Naruto sighed as he shook his head as Ibiki played mind games.

When it seemed none of the other teams were going to quit they were told by Ibiki they passed making a few cry out in cheer, however Naruto wasn't cheering he frowned as he said, "Good job Ibiki, you did it with so little effort."

Sasuke smirked from his seat across from him, "What did he do Dobe? He didn't do anything."

Naruto saw Ibiki grin from his seat, the room had quieted as Naruto spoke, "He was Mind fucking you the entire time."

Haku from her seat said, "Naruto Language!"

Naruto rubbed the back of his head while Ino asked, "How could he, he just acted normal."

Naruto shook his head, "the final question? Obviously to test to see if you had the resolve to do a mission even if there was high chance of failure, also at the beginning he was testing to see if any of us had Chunin level Information gathering."

"there are hidden objectives in these Exams, not all is about just passing a test," he finished as a blackball flew through the open window, two kunai hit the wall to unravel a banner saying, "2nd Exam Proctor The Sexy Mitarashi Anko."

A woman stood before the classroom dressed in a trench coat, "Damn Ibiki there is still a lot."

Ibiki flicked the banner from his face with an annoyed expression on his face, "Can't help it when there is so many, how many passed in the other room?"

Anko looked at him bored, "Well with your class of 91, and the other one of 60 the finally total is 50 teams passed."

Anko turned back to assorted Genin, "Meet me at Training Ground 44 in twenty minutes."

With that she disappeared leaving more than a few grumbling Genin behind; they started to clear out of the room quickly leaving Ibiki to sigh as he went around to pick up the tests.

Naruto was trying to figure how many teams would wind up completing the second exam, from what Anko had hinted at the other night it was some kind of survival exam; he decided to take her hints and plan for something five times as dangerous as what she was saying.

(Training Ground 44)

Naruto and his team were the first team to arrive thanks to actually knowing where the forest was, Anko didn't seemed to surprised to see him though, "Hey Naruto, ready to have some fun with the Genins?"

Naruto grinned along with his team, "yeah can't wait for it, so what is this exam going to be about?"

Anko frowned before smiling while shaking her head, "eh I guess there is no harm in telling you early, it's suppose to be a survival/document retrieval exam, I'll tell you the specifics when the other Genin arrive so I don't have to repeat myself."

Naruto nodded as him and his team moved to the side to try and discuss a strategy with what they knew of the forest; they knew the forest pretty well due to using it to help train the clones in team tactics. Slowly one by one the teams arrived before the dark forest more than a few looked frightened at the dark aura it gave off, once the last team had arrived Anko started to speak.

"Alright brats listen up, I'm not repeating myself, the second exam will test you on survival and document recovery, your objective will to recover five different scrolls," here she raised five different scrolls with a kanji for Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, and Lighting.

"each team will be given a scroll randomly so you won't know which team has what, you must get all five with any means possible, steal, trick, or kill it doesn't matter; once you get all five you must make your way towards the middle of the forest where a structure is located," she said before waving some forms.

"these forms in my hand relinquish any fault of Konoha or the Rangers in case of your death so if you want to back out now please do, now before I forget you can only complete this exam with your team, if you lose someone you are disqualified, now any questions?" she asked glaring at the assorted Chunin hopefuls.

Choji raised his hand before asking, "What will we do for food?"

Anko grinned maliciously, "this forest has many different creatures and animals; food is everywhere in there."

Choji paled at that causing a few teams to snicker at him, a Suna Genin raised his hand asking, "Are we allowed to open the scrolls?"

Anko shook her head, "if you do it will be at your own risk, now any more questions?"

No body answered her before she started to pass out the forms, once everyone had signed she said, "you got fifteen minutes to get to a starting gate, that is where you will receive your scroll."

Everyone started to disperse however a loud voice drifted across the field, "heh this going to be easy."

The teams turned to see the Uchiha smirking but was shocked to see a kunai fly by his cheek cutting it while the Anko lady appeared behind him with a kunai at his throat, "think its going to be easy brat? This field has killed Genin better than you, I expect more than half of the teams here to die in the first two days, and the only team I am expecting to see at the end is the Rangers."

Next she was back at the front of them; Sasuke couldn't stop and said angrily, "What is so great about the Rangers, they can't stand against the might of an Uchiha!"

Anko shook her head as the teams stopped to hear her answer, "You don't understand Uchiha, this field is a playground for the Rangers, they send in their squads to test teamwork for weeks at a time, they know this field like the back of their hands."

Sakura shouted angrily, "then that isn't fair, if they know the forest so good then why are we taking it here?"

More then a few teams were nodding in agreement, Anko seeing them growled and was about to yell when laughter burst across the field, "Hahaha are you serious Haruno? Did you not listen to Ibiki in the class room?"

Everyone turned to see the laughter was coming from a snickering Joker while the rest of the team shook their heads of the stupidity, "we're in this exam because the other Kages and Daimyos asked for us to be, Konoha won't change the exam because one of their allies were forced to participate, so I recommend you shut up and get to your gate cause there is now just five minutes to get to the gates."

With that they disappeared causing the teams to panic at the news as they scurried to find a gate. Naruto and his team arrived at a gate where a MP was standing who saluted before handing over fire scroll, "Here you go sir, teams are already sweeping the area as order, good luck with the exam."

Naruto pocketed the scroll before turning to his team, "Alright guys thanks to Anko we're going to be on the top of the hit list, Haku take point and Joker will follow us."

They nodded before Haku raised an eyebrow, "what's the plan on getting the other scrolls Naruto-kun?"

Naruto who was checking his ammo said as he looked up, "they're going to be coming to us Haku-chan, attach the suppressors so we don't draw too much attention, Joker try to not fire unless we need it ok?"

Joker who pouted said, "Ok boss if that is what you want."

Naruto shook his head but a click in front of them drew their attention as the gate opened up allowing the team to bolt into the dark forest. It was a three kilometer run to the middle building so they took off in a light run while surveying their surroundings; along the way they ran into the occasional wild animal which was quickly put down and sealed for later use.

About halfway to the building by Naruto's estimate Haku stopped in the middle of a clearing before turning to Naruto, "Naruto-kun I sense about five teams closing fast in all directions."

Naruto shook his head, so the Kages told their Genins to test them, sighing he said, "Go back to back, don't fire unless you have to since their just Genin, when I give the word plug your ears and close your eyes."

The team nodded before getting back to back just as five different teams surrounded them in the clearing. There was nothing special about the assorted teams, all the teams glared at one another before setting their sights on the Rangers in the middle.

A Chunin hopeful from Iwa said, "Well look at what we have here, the so called Rangers, I suggest give up your scroll you're easily out numbered."

His answer was a growl from a Kiri Genin, "back off boy we got here first, give us your scroll and you might just live."

All the teams started to bicker about who was there first causing Naruto along with his team to sweat drop; clearing his throat Naruto asked loudly, "um if you don't mind me asking but what scrolls do you all have?"

Everyone paused in their fighting to stare incredulously at Naruto like he was stupid, a Kumo Genin spoke up saying what was on everyone's mind, "Are you retarded? Why would we tell you?"

Naruto sighed as he opened a pocket before pulling out a cylindrical object causing the teams to ready their weapons, "because it would make it easier on us, NOW!"

With that he pulled the pin before throwing the flash bang high in the air as him and his team plugged their ears; what happened next would be called a humiliation as the grenade went off blinding the teams and causing them to drop to their knees holding their bleeding ears, they never noticed the Ranger team spring into action as they quickly knocked them out with the butts of their guns.

Naruto shook his head as he knocked out his second team before looking at the other and seeing they had subdued their teams, "check them for their scrolls."

The others nodded as they started to pat down the Genins for their scrolls. It didn't take long before they all met back up in the middle; Naruto shook his head as Joker had found a Wind scroll, Scar had an Earth scroll in his hand while Haku was holding a Water scroll.

He gathered the scrolls before pocketing them along with the Lighting scroll he had before tossing the extra Water into the middle of the teams, "I can't believe our luck, let's get to the tower before they decide to wake up, same formation as earlier."

Receiving affirmative nods as they moved to finish the last one and a half kilometers before nightfall.
