Author's Notes: Ayy early upload! Surprised? Well I thought that since its Naruto's birthday today, Oct 10th, I decided why not? Also a bit excited for this chapter cause after this, you guys will probably get an idea for what I have planned next, plus I'm finally revealing Naruto's bloodline technique.
"Got everything?"
"Yep, all set for now, time to head out." Naruto confirmed as he and Hanabi were ready for the day, well rested and supplies set.
They had a good night's sleep, and now were ready for the next exam today, checking the clock they saw it was about a half-hour before the exam started, and with a nod, they exited their rooms and made their way out of the building, on their way out to the desert. As they were walking there Naruto couldn't help but feel a strange presence, before realizing that it was right behind.
Turning around quickly Naruto was greeted by a hand fastly moving past his face and resting on his shoulder, the hand belonging to his Mother as she looked down at him with a bright smile.
"Kaasan!" Naruto exclaimed as Hanabi also turned around, surprised to see Kushina here and wondering if her Sister was here as well.
"Hey you two, heard how well you both did on the exams so far so I came here ahead of everyone to congratulate you two!" Kushina explained before bringing them both into an unexpected hug as Naruto and Hanabi were lifted off the ground. The two a little flushed when they felt her large breast press into their chest, Naruto from being a hormonal boy, and Hanabi from being a bit jealous of their size.
Putting them both down Kushina saw the red looks on their faces and decided to tease the two of them, "Aww, you two are adorable together, like a young couple, two people of high upbringings using the skills they've learned by their own merits to face the challenges the world throws at them together." Kushina said, hands clasped together along with her eyes closed as she overdid the speech to get them both flustered.
And she did as Naruto and Hanabi each looked at each other for a second before their faces went even more red, looking away they each shouted.
'"Kaasan!"
"Kushina-san!"
Kushina could barely contain the smirk on her face as she saw the two of them look like two embarrassed teens. It was always one of her favorite past-times back when Naruko was still a genin, and now that she saw how well it seemed to work on Naruto, she would continue to do so in the future.
Smiling at their reaction, Kushina than looked at Hanabi with a gentle smile, "Hanabi dear, do you mind if you go on ahead? I need to talk to Naruto for a bit." She asked the young Hyuuga.
"Oh, sure." Hanabi stated as she turned around, "See you at the exam." She said to Naruto before continuing on her way.
Seeing her walk away Naruto then looked back at his Mother, noticing how she seemed to look around them for a bit before grabbing Naruto. The blonde team was moved so fast that the next thing he noticed was that he was in a dark alleyway, no one else near as it was just him and his Mother, his back against the wall.
"Kaasan?"
Kushina through, then proceeded to surprise Naruto as she pressed herself against him, before bringing her hand to his covered crotch, rubbing it with her smooth hand as Naruto let out a surprised gasp of pleasure before wrapping his arms around Kushina and holding her sides to keep himself standing from the quick, unexpectedly high pleasure.
As she was rubbing her hand against his crotch Kushina couldn't help but smirk as she felt it rise to its length, the bulge becoming visible even in the dark as she felt it for the first time with her hand, getting a better grasp of its size than before.
'One minute I teasing him about being in a relationship with his teammate like a Mother and the next I'm feeling him up in an alleyway, god am I'm terrible, but fuck is this exciting.' Kushina thought before bringing her mouth to his ear and whispering, "Bet you like this, huh? Well, if you pass the next part of this exam, well, let me give you a quick demonstration."
Snaking her hand quickly Kushina pulled out the front of his waistband and underwear before moving her hand inside, grabbing his length fully with her silky smooth palm, and Naruto could only gasp as she felt her fingers wrap around him, her thumb making small circles on his flesh as his mouth was wide open, not knowing what to say but definitely had a vocal response as he moaned. Kushina though could only smirk as she felt his shaft, the heat admitting from it warming her hand nicely as she felt the vein on it pulse against her fingers.
'My, I think he's bigger than his Father was at this age, heck he might be as big as him now should I give him a year or two to grow.' Kushina thought before deciding to bring this round to an end.
"You better do your best to pass Naruto, cause I promise if you do, I'll do my best to finally let you have that release you've been begging to have from me." The Kunoichi said before disappearing in a cloud of smoke, leaving a dazed Naruto.
Naruto felt excitement and anticipation rising for tonight, but then he realized one thing, his Mother had left him with a massive boner that probably couldn't be contained if he wanted to make it to the exam in time.
'God damn it!' Naruto mused as he began to hop on top of the building, hoping no one would see the budge from his pants.
Making his way to the Village Gates, Naruto was grateful that his erection had subsided for now, doing his best to keep the thoughts of his Mother's potential reward out of his mind for now. Seeing the multitude of teams Naruto found Hanabi off to the side, Konohamaru's team along with Masuri's as well. Walking towards them the group saw him approach and gave a simple nod to greet as he stood next to the Hyuuga.
Standing from her spot in front of the group Temari began to speak, "As it seems you are all here and it's already noon, I will now explain to you the next part of the exam." Temari stated before turning her body to the side, allowing the Genin to view the passage of the Village, a long narrow path that was guarded on the side by two large walls which served as bunkers to repeal any outside attacks.
"On the other side of this path and on the open fields of the desert, we've designed a field, with 3 important points. The exam will be King of the Hill, each point is designed to be held by one team, you will have 30 minutes to hold down your point. In the end, only three teams can pass, anything is allowed, understood?" She asked the Genin, who all nodded with determined looks on their faces. "All right then, begin!"
And with that, the Genin dispersed all running down the same hall. But as they ran down Naruto noticed the cloud ninja jump ahead in front of everyone with impressive speed and distance before stopping and turning around, all three of them taking out their blades, Chakra coating each of them as Samui nodded to her two teammates. The three of them slashing their blades and shooting the chakra in different directions, Karui and Omoi hitting the walls on their sides as parts of them broke apart, falling to the Genin below, while Samui set her blade into the ground, causing a shockwave all the Genin felt under their feet as the ground beneath them became unstable, cracks forming underneath them as they realized they would have to move now or be trapped.
Thinking quick Hanabi had activated her Byakugan, looking for a path in the falling debris she found one, "Follow me!" She shouted to her teammate and friends, all of them taking her path as they bounced up on the walls and went through the rock, hearing them shouted on the ground below while they scaled the Village walls. Looking back down Naruto saw that a pretty sizable amount of teams were able to block the falling debris, some escaping the destabilized floor beneath them, others, not so lucky as he saw some teammates try to help those that were stuck, though it looked like no one had been seriously hurt by what he saw.
As they continued on their way up the walls they all reached the top, where the group saw the large field and what areas they would have to take. The field itself was made mostly from sand, with the three points being a large hill, a small tower, and a small one-story house, with the sand field littered with what appeared to be trees, rocks, water, etc.
Looking at Hanabi, along with Konohamaru and Matsuri team, Naruto knew time was of the essence as he said, "We'll each pick a spot, OK? We'll have a truce not to attack each other's points, other than that, first come, first serve!"
And with that, he and Hanabi jumped down the large defense in front of the village, the other two teams right behind them as they split off and headed for different points on the field. Looking around the two saw only a few other teams had made it past the start, while the rest were still getting out of the debris field. With the ones who caused it, the Cloud Ninja, already well into the field, and it looked like they had taken the point on the that was the house, Karui, and Omoi standing guard outside while their blonde teammate was inside.
Looking at his teammate Naruto asked, "Tower?"
"Tower."
And with that, the two made their way to the tall structure, The two nodding to each other as Naruto began to scale them on the outside of the structure while Hanabi went inside. The Hyuuga girl noticing the structure appeared larger on the inside, though it was mostly just a long open shaft from the bottom to the top floor, a rotating staircase along the side walls with a few windows dotting the path, seeing with her Byakugan that Naruto had already reached the top as she made her way up as well.
Upon reaching the top floor Hanabi saw that its sides were guarded by a few stone walls that went up to their hips, other than that it offered a pretty good view of the of the field as the two saw that Matsuri and her teammate were currently engaged in a battle with a team from their own village by the hill, while Konohamaru's team was currently stalking up in the trees keeping an eye on the house and the Cloud Ninja. Plus the other teams were finally making their way out of the debris field and splitting off to claim a point, and from what the two could tell, they had a few minutes before they would need to start defending.
Putting his hand up in a sign Naruto shouted, "Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu." Creating almost a dozen copies of himself as he told Hanabi, "I'll leave two up here to help guard the top while you focus on surveillance, The rest will protect the ground floor and stairs below."
As the various Naruto clones made their way down, Hanabi stopped the original, "Wait, Naruto. Wouldn't it be better to let the other teams take this hideout for now? In the end, it's the team who controls the area when the time runs out who moves on. If we try to constantly defend it for the whole game then we'll just get too tired to defend it at the end!"
Naruto stopped in place, eyes covered from her view as he looked down for a moment, clearly taking her question seriously as he tried to find an answer. Turning to her, Hanabi was surprised by the determined look on his face as he said, "Maybe, maybe that's the best strategy. But remember what we talked about before? We're gonna show the world who we are, we're gonna take every challenge thrown at us, and come out on top. We're not gonna back down, but stand our ground, and when the teams who try to take this spot against us lose, they'll remember our faces, not the people who we came from."
Hanabi felt stunned by the speech as Naruto made his way down, leaving her and two of his clones on the roof to defend it. Snapping out of it the Hyuuga quickly cleared her mind, had a point, if they wanted others to know who they were, they had to leave an impression as she scanned the area once again, noticing the tower beginning to be surrounded by multiple teams who appeared to form a truce in order to attack this spot.
Than all at once the multiple teams charged at the tower, surprising Hanabi and the two clones by their forwardness, but they had no time to be stunned as some of Naruto's clones went out the bottom entrance to stop some of the invaders, while a few other Genin tried to scale the tower on the sides, making their way up as fast as they could.
Bringing out a kunai the Hyuuga prepared herself for a battle but stopped her stance when the two clones put their hands up to stop her.
"You keep your strength, we'll handle these guys, for now, you're our last defense should we get too tired." One of the clones said before nodding to the other clone as well. The two jumping off the top to meet the Genin climbing up halfway, stopping them in their tracks as they engaged them.
But still, Hanabi felt herself mutter what he had said, "Last defense, huh, he thinks I'm that important." She said before getting ready for the impending wave. But off in the distance, one team approached, the one from the Hidden Rain as they held back and let the other teams charge in first.
"You sure they went in there?" Ajisai, their leader asked her teammates.
"Yep, no doubt, the Son of the Fourth and the Hyuuga Heiress are in there." Fuyo, her teammate stated.
"And you positive he's a Jinchuriki?" Ajisai questioned.
"Mostly, we'll still need to implant the black rod Lady Angel gave us to make sure." Her other teammate, Suiren stated.
Ajisai than took out out a Black Rod from her pouch, remember how Lady Angel gave it to them should they come against a Jinchuriki, along with one other thing. Biting her thumb Ajisai performed a quick set of seals before slamming her hand into the ground and saying, "Summoning Jutsu!"
Out of the seal came a small, snaked-tailed green chameleon, eyes purple with multiple black rings and a small black rod through the skull of its head. Its eyes darted around rapidly as it looked at its surroundings before landing on the one who summoned it. Holding her hand out Ajisai saw the creature crawl on her arm and into the sleeve of her shirt, changing its color to become unnoticeable to the trio.
"Why did you need to summon that thing again?" Fuyo asked her teammate as she and Suiren were a bit out of loop of the whole plan.
Looking at her Ajisai said, "Lady Angel told me that it's suppose to act as some connection for her and Lord Pain to the Black Rod, after we make a connection between who we believe is the Jinchuruki and it, the creature will act as a proxy for Lord Pain to see into the Black Rod, confirming with his own power whether or not the person is a Jinchuriki, but we gotta make sure the Rod is implanted long enough for the creature to make a connection and keep it safe, so when we're in there, I need you two to watch my back while I implant the rod into this, Naruto."
And with that explained the trio nodded to each other and made their way to the tower, ready to enact the mission given to them.
Elsewhere Konohamaru and his team were currently moving in on the house, ready to intercept the other cloud ninja. It seemed that many of the other Genin teams weren't gonna try and risk going after them as most of them banded together to go against Naruto and Hanabi, he felt bad for the two and wanted to help but knew they could make it, well, he hoped they could. But still, these cloud Ninja were definitely some of the strongest in the exam, the way they acted as a team, their strikes and power, they were leagues ahead of most of the Genin, which was why he wanted to fight them.
"This is insane," Moegi muttered from behind her teammate, not liking how things were looking for them, in all honesty, she and Udon weren't gonna be of much help in a fight like this, and despite how talented Konohamaru was, this was probably gonna be a battle they were gonna lose.
"What are we gonna do against this guys! How would we win against them and still have enough strength to fight off any remaining teams?" Udon questioned, his snot running faster than usual in fear and anxiety.
But Konohamaru only turned to his teammates, "I trust you two to know when to help me, cause I know we're gonna pass this time, OK!"
His worlds went into his teammates as they remember just how much he trusted them before he jumped up from the tree and charged at the two cloud genin guard the outside.
"Oh my god." Moegi and Udon simply stated in tandem as they saw their friend rush in, the two cloud ninja also a bit surprised from him as well before pulling out their blades and getting ready to strike.
"He's gonna die." Moegi stated as they saw Konohamaru still charging at the enemy, but then right when the two were about to send a wave of chakra through their blades at him with a strike, the Sarutobi jumped back, before releasing a puff of black smoke from his mouth. The black ash-like substance blocking Karui and Omoi view as they had to cover their mouth to avoid the stuff getting into their lungs.
'Wait, is this?!' Omoi thought as realization dawned on him before telling his teammate, "GET DOWN!"
Dropping to the floor Karui saw Omoi slash his blade in a circle around them as he blew most of it away from their vicinity, giving them a sphere of protection before they heard a clank-like sound from the outside, the ash around them igniting up in an explosion of flames, even with the amount of ash Omoi had blown away, this was bad.
As the explosion surrounded the two of them they could only brace for impacted, until they felt a slash away from their sides as the force of the explosion didn't hit them. Opening their eyes Karui and Omoi saw Samui standing there, her tanto in her hand while the ash and the explosion were forced back away from them.
"Get ready!" She told her teammates as they heard a barrage of shurikens make their way past the remaining ash and towards them. Getting into a stance the three of them all quickly swung their katana's at the projectiles, stopping them from hitting them as they fell to the floor and puffed away except for the originals.
"You two go and stop him, the longer we wait for the more of a threat he'll become." Samui told her teammates, who nodded to each other and went through the smoke, appearing on the other side they rushed at the blue-wearing scarf Genin as he narrow dodged their attacks, clearly a bit surprised as that they made it past his smoking-ash and shuriken-clone combo.
In the air Konohamaru created a clone to help fight with him as the two fought together, making sure not to stay in one place for long as they and the Cloud duo didn't give the other a chance to breath or launch a powerful attack. But seeing an opening Omoi threw a kunai at the boy's scarf, pinning it to the ground as Karui charge in to take out the off-balance Genin, Omoi taking out the clone who tried to help the original with a quick slash.
But just as Karui was about to slash her blade at Konohamaru she had to block an incoming kunai, but that was just enough time for the thrower to run out and grab Konohamaru, bringing her away from her reach as Moegi shouted, "Now Udon!"
Jumping into the air above the cloud Ninja the boy said, "Sorry about this!" Before bringing his hand into a seal and sniffling his nose as he shouted, "Snot prison!"
Out from his nose, his massive snot reserves shot out, stunning the cloud duo both from its speed and from disgusted as it hit the ground between the two of them and expanded rapidly, that the two had their legs trapped from the now harden substance.
"Nice you two!" Konohamaru praised his teammates as they now stood away from the Cloud Ninja, ready to attack.
"Ugh, this is disgusting!" Karui complained as she tried to slash away the substance, cracking and denting it but not weakening it enough to break free.
"This has to be the weirdest and most disgusting jutsu I've ever seen." Omoi complained, trying to break free as well.
But then, the two felt a slash at their feet as the snot broke into many pieces, freeing the two as Samui walked in between them, " I thought I told you to take him out fast, guess I'll have to help you as well."
The two teams stared each other down before charging, neither looking to back down from the other.
Back at the tower, Naruto was currently fighting against some of the Genin that had slipped through the front door, a few others coming in through broken windows as he lost most of his clones in the defense as they tried to thin the numbers. But as he kicked one his opponent into the wall, knocking him out, he noticed that most of the Genin were fighting each other, their truce appearing to be done as they each tried to take the structure for their own team.
'Well, at least they're not all going after me anymore.' Naruto thought before hearing a trio of screams from above, looking up he saw three Genin holding a kunai jumping off the stairs and at him in a multitude of directions, blocking off any part of escape that he could take quick enough without suffering damage, but as he got into a stance to take them down, they were all blown away by a powerful wind-like force as they were thrown into the wall.
Looking at the source of the attack Naruto saw Hanabi on the stairs as she made her way down, taking out any of the Genin who tried to attack her with swift strikes as she took them out of the game with a couple of chakra blocks before jumping down to Naruto, the two going back to back as they helped each other take out any of the teams who tried to get them.
"What happened upstairs?" Naruto asked as he threw an opponent through one of the windows.
"Got overrun, plus it looks like the team that's holding the top isn't gonna go down easy." Hanabi explained before telling Naruto to duck and throwing another Vacuum Palm at their would-be attackers.
"What'd they look like?" Naruto asked.
"They looked to be all girls, from the Hidden Rain." Hanabi stated, catching Naruto's attention as he asked, "Hidden Rain! Did one of them-"
But before he could finish his sentence, he was cut off, "Lookout!" Hanabi screamed as she and Naruto jumped away in opposite directions, narrowly dodging the Giant Panda that fell on where they were standing, the beast let out a roar so terrifying that it caused most of the other Genin teams to run from the tower, not wanting to take any chances with the beast. But the ones who stayed were quickly taken care of as Naruto and Hanabi saw three fast blurs move around the tower, taking out the remaining Genin. But as two of the blurs tried to come to her Hanabi stopped the two in their tracks, Fuyo and Suiren a bit surprised at her skills as the two began to double team the Hyuuga.
"Hanabi!" Naruto shouted as he tried to run to help his teammate before he was sent back, narrowly dodging the strike from the giant panda as it charged at him, its speed betraying its size as Naruto kept was put on the defensive from the beast as it forced him away from his teammate, who was currently making her way up the stairs in an effort to put some distance between her and her attackers.
Just as Naruto was forced back against a wall through the panda tried to strike him with a fast powerful jabbed. But Naruto was able to move out of the way fast enough as he rolled to the side, the Panda burying his fist into the wall as he struggled to get it out.
'Now's my chance!' Naruto thought as he pulled out a Kunai, ready to deal a blow to the creatures head as he jumped up at him, but before he could reach it he felt the wind blown out of him as a foot dug its way into his stomach. Time stopping for a second Naruto saw who the attacker was, and recognized her as the girl who stole the headband during the first exam. But just after he made the connection, time resumed and he was sent flying across the room and into the wall, the hard sand-like structure cushioning itself around his body as he groaned out in pain.
'God, those hits are almost as hard as Hinata's!' Naruto thought as he struggled to move from the wall, his body stuck from the impact as he saw his attacker take out what appeared to be a small black rod before charging at him.
"Naruto!" Hanabi screamed in fear for her friend, trying to jump towards him to help from the stairs before being pushed further up by the duo she was fighting. The two were in sync as they each complimented the other's moves, not allowing Hanabi time to find an opening as she was forced further up and up the tower, away from her teammate.
Seeing his attacker charge at him with impressive speed, rod in her hand as she aimed for his stomach, Naruto had to think fast. Realizing that his left leg was the freest out of his limbs, he waited for his attacked to get closer, until just before she would've stabbed him with the black rod before freeing his leg and kneeing the rod away from his stomach and into the wall, embedding it into the structure.
As Ajisai struggled to take out the rod, Naruto freed his arms, taking a jab at the girl she was forced to pull back to avoid the strike, leaving the rod in the wall as Naruto freed himself completely, now looking fully at his opponent as the two stared each other down.
"You know, don't think you have to stab me to take me out, especially with some danky old rod, at least use an actual weapon" Naruto called out to his opponent, hoping to stall a bit for time to get some energy back.
Ajisai though, scoffed at his question, "That rod is a weapon, but you wouldn't know that considering how you and your village get all the fancy ones, while my little one struggles to keep itself afloat from all the damage your's has caused it."
"What?" Naruto asked, not getting what she was implying before she pulled out a small scroll and said, "Enough talk, Unsealing Technique: Paper Snowstorm."
Out of her scroll came what appeared to be a white mass, that expanded rapidly towards him, getting bigger and bigger that Naruto had to jump up the walls to avoid it. Ajisai though, had already prepared for this as she had taken out another scroll, releasing its contents Naruto saw a storm of shuriken head his way as he ran along the wall, the storm of metal embedding itself right behind him.
But just as he outran the storm Ajisai appeared in front of him, Naruto barely dodging her jab before she hooked his face and threw him to the other side of the room. Naruto landing with a groan as he saw the girl take out the black rod from the wall as she seemed to store it in her back pouch before assuming a fighting stance once more and charging at him.
Quickly throwing down a smoke bomb, Ajisai had to stop as the white smoke surrounded her, blocking off most of her visual until she saw the smoke move around her. Naruto appeared right behind, ready to punch the back of her head but was surprised when she turned around as quickly as he appeared, catching his fist before it could land while throwing her own. Naruto barely able to catch her fist as well as the two were in a stalemate, either given the other an edge as they stared each other down.
"You said my village damaged yours, what did you mean!" Naruto questioned as the two continued with their struggle, truly wishing to know what happened.
"Tell me, where do you think the great Nations fought in the last Great Ninja war? Do you think they cared about the little Villages they used as their battlefield." Ajisai screamed at him, allowing Naruto to realize why she seemed to hold a grudge against the Great Nations. He felt sympathy for the girl, but that hesitation got him in trouble.
In a moment Naruto felt pulled into a bear hug, his arms trapped by two big black arms, looking back he saw the Panda he was fighting early was the one holding him. 'Damn it, I totally forgot about him!' Naruto mentally screamed.
Seeing that he was trapped Ajisai took out the black rod once more, moving to stab the Blonde Genin with it. As she thrust it forward Naruto tried to kick it away with his feet, but just they were about to parry the rod to the side, Naruto saw a long tongue come out of the girls sleeve, grabbing his leg and throwing it to the side, leaving Ajisai with no obstructions as Naruto felt a sharp pain through his body, eyes wide in shock but not pain as his body felt numb.
The rod drove right through where his seal would be.
Konohamaru and his team were panting, clearly worn out, as the cloud team in front of them appear not nearly as tired as they were, but still weren't 100% either. Still, Konohamaru knew he and his team weren't gonna give up, if they were gonna fail this part, they were gonna go down swinging. But as he signaled his team to get ready and the three assumed a stance, the Blonde Cloud Ninja he knew as Samui raised her hand.
"Let's make a deal." She said, surprising not only Konohamaru's team but her own teammates as well.
Karui though, didn't even wait for her leader to speak as she immediately said, "Deal? All we need are a couple of more minutes and these guys are done for! Why give it up now!?"
Samui though just gave her a cold stare that the Red-hair Cloud Ninja immediately shrink away from. "Sorry," Karui said as she stood behind Samui, head hung down in shame as Omoi did his best to stifle his laugh, lest he want the same stare from Samui to as the blonde look back at the Leaf Genin, which he had to admit, with the fight they had, they gained his respect.
"What type of deal?" Konohamaru called out, still ready in case what she said was a trap.
"Something tells me you're aren't gonna give up unless the time runs out, or your dead, and you aren't gonna go for any of the other points either, lest you'd have already done so instead of still fighting us. So I propose we let you have the house, and we'll go take the hill over there, sound good?" Samui explained, puzzling the Leaf genin.
"Why?" Konohamaru simply asked, it didn't make sense to him why they would just give him the house.
"You and your team are good, you're strong." Samui stated, shocking Konohamaru's team a bit from the praise as she continued, "But we're stronger, if we wanted, we could beat, but in the process, we'd lose too much energy, leaving us at a disadvantage as we'd be too open for more attacks from the other teams who'd probably been hiding around here, waiting for one of us to declare a winner before they swoop in and take out the victor."
Taking a moment to ponder her reasoning and words, knowing the risks that could happen if they continued their fight, Konohamaru spoke, "I see, very well, we'll take your offer."
And with a nod the two team Leaders move away, Konohamaru's towards the house while Samui's move towards the hill.
"Huh!"
Naruto got up from the floor, a wet floor. Looking down he saw that there was some water around his feet, and after noticing that his back wasn't wet despite laying on the ground and looking at his surroundings, he concluded he was in the Kyuubi's, or Ku's lair, at least some part of it anyway.
"Been a while since I was in this part." Naruto said out loud to no one in particular, he had only walked the halls of Ku's lair once, the first time she brought him into her realm, every other time he landed right in front of her gate.
"Somethings wrong.", Naruto could feel it, Ku said she wouldn't contact him for the first half of the exam, so how did he get here? Did it have something to do with getting stabbed? Oh god was he dead?! These thoughts and many others ran through his mind as he wandered the halls, looking to see if he could make his way to Ku's cage to maybe get some answers.
Reaching an intersection Naruto thought he heard something, some sorta clang down one of the halls. Never hearing anything like it in here before Naruto immediately went down the hall, the clanks becoming louder and louder as he ran closer to the source, before turning at a corner and finding himself at one of the entrances to the main room of the landscape, and in the middle of it, he saw two figures fighting.
Immediately he recognized one of them as Ku, wearing her red kimono as she was jumping all over the other person, using her long claw-like nails to swipe at the person who blocked them with what looked like the rod that Naruto was stabbed with. The two moving at speeds Naruto unable to comprehend as Ku started to look like a blur, clearly trying her best to take the attacker down who Naruto couldn't make out, he was covered in darkness, as if it was what his body was made of as only the outline of his body could be seen. Until he turned near where Naruto was standing, where Naruto got a good look at his eyes.
Dark purple eyes, with multiple black rings forming from the center outwards, and his look made Naruto feel paralyzed, he couldn't move.
Seeing where her opponent was looking Ku was shocked to see Naruto standing there, but became immediately more concerned when she noticed her attacker became less interested in her, a was about to raise his hand towards her Jinchuriki.
"No!" She screamed as she kicked his hand down before landing in front of this black figure, before putting all of her force into her next punch, hitting him square in the gut and sending him flying across the room, but Ku felt like her opponent only took it as a minor inconvenience as the fox-spirit immediately dashed towards Naruto, picking him up and running down the halls of her chambers as fast as she could. Hoping to give her and Naruto some time before the figure came after them again.
After getting to what she thought was a safe distance, Ku put Naruto down, noticing he seemed to be in some sort of trance.
"Naruto?" She asked, nothing. She snapped her fingers in his face, nothing. She shook him a bit, still nothing.
"God damn it, Naruto, snap out of it!" She screamed in his face, finally snapping him out of his daze.
"K-Ku?" He asked before adding, "What's going on? Who was that guy? How are you out here in front of me and not in the cage? Am I dead?" He asked with concern, making Ku wince from how fast he was asking the questions before getting him to stop.
"Look, I'll be honest, I don't know what's really going on either, first off, no you are not dead, but after you got stabbed that figure appeared inside of here and dragged me and you here as well. How am I out of the cage? I'm not, this isn't the regular place you go inside of the seal, it's some sort of middle ground between him and the actual seal that person created to use to interact with us, but if he's able to catch me or you, he could very well affect the seal itself." Ku explained to her Jinchuriki, noticing how he seemed to be worn out as he took a knee to catch some breaths. She felt disappointed in herself, something seemed off about the rod that girl he was fighting pulled out, it wasn't until he was actually stabbed with it that where she knew where it came from.
"Now I need you to listen to me, ok?" Ku said as she took a knee as well, trying to reach his level as she placed a hand on his shoulder, she couldn't remember the last time she had contact like this with anyone, and despite the severity of the situation, it felt nice as she continued, "That man, he is powerful, but he can't access his full power here, and this is our home turf."
Naruto nodded in understanding, and she was glad he hadn't asked about the man's eyes, that was something she didn't want to delve into, for his own sake and her own as he asked, "So what do we do?"
"We need to hit him with just one big hit, that'll be enough to disturb the connection he has to us and send him out of here." Ku informed him.
"But how will we land that blow?" Naruto questioned, but before Ku could answer him, she felt herself picked up and flown away from him, looking back she saw that the black figure had already found them as he extended his arm out at her as she came even closer to him.
"Ku!" Naruto cried out in worry. Luckily though, Ku wasn't going down easy, as right before she flew into the figure's hand, she used her bright fluffy orange tail to swipe at it, making him lose control and allowing Ku to launch another attack, planting a foot into the ground she swung the other one at the figures head. But he blocked it with ease as the two continued their fight from before, the figure standing in the same spot, blocking the attacks Ku threw at him with ease as she bounced and flew around him, using as much of her speed as she could to find an opening.
Naruto felt useless, he didn't know what to do. It felt just as bad as when his Mother fought Orochimaru. He didn't know what to do, they were on a level he couldn't comprehend as their figures turned into blurs to his eyes. But then he saw it, for a moment time seemed to stop as Ku and their opponent slowed down, Ku was about to land a strike against the figure, but he had already pulled out a rod, and it was about to go through her stomach. Naruto could see the fear on Ku's face as if she knew she in trouble. And Naruto couldn't let that happened.
"No!" He screamed, and he felt something, around his stomach, similar to when he's used Ku's power, but, different, as he saw his jacket and shirt rise up, leaving his stomach bare as something came out, a dark golden, glowing-like chain came out as it stretched out fast, reaching to Ku and the Black figure as it made the figure pullback before landing its blow.
Ku's face was in shock from what she saw, seeing how the chains that once held her originate from Naruto she couldn't help the memories of being trapped from them as a brief glimpse of anger came into her eyes, but she quickly blinked it away as she ran towards Naruto, the chains still out present as they laid on the floor, Naruto on his knees as he was huffing and puffing.
Looking up at her, Ku saw just how worn out Naruto looked, 'Of course he would be, summoning this, and at his age, even for as someone durable as him this must be taking everything he's got.' She thought as she was about to kneel down next to him. But she heard a flurry of steps as she turned around and saw the figure making a dash for her and Naruto.
As she got into a stance to protect the two of them she heard Naruto shout, "Get away from us!"
And than his chains moved again, surprising both Ku and the figure as his chains move to the side at the figure, who barely could barely put his arm up in time as it seemed like he had some invisible force to push it away, but that didn't stop the chain from wrapping around him and the force, wrapping around him as tight as it could as only his head popping out as the chains wrapped around tighter and tighter, his invisible force slipping and losing its ground each moment.
"Ku." She heard Naruto say, looking back at him she saw him clunch over, hand on his chest as he was breathing even louder, "I don't know if I can contain him." He said.
Kneeling down next to him Naruto saw Ku wrap an arm around his back, helping his upper body up before taking her other hand with his own. Holding them together she pressed their sides together as she said, "Together, we can take him out together."
He felt her tighten the hold on his hand, and the look she gave him. He tightened his hold on her back and gave her a smile, which she returned with her own. The two looking forward once more at their opponent, who looked back at them with his unique eyes and a cold stare.
"AHHHHH!" Naruto and Ku cried together as the chain from Naruto's stomach glowed bright, its dar shade fading and becoming brighter and brighter as the change went down the chains, before reaching their opponent. The Chains wrapping around his force field even tighter as he was losing more ground to it.
"Just a bit more Naruto, we're almost there, we almost got him!" Ku shouted.
"We can do this! Together!" Naruto responded as Jinchuriki and Tailed Beast felt closer to each other, as if they were in sync as with one final scream, the figure's hands fell, and the chains wrapped so tightly around him he burst in a flash of light, along with the chains that held him.
Naruto and Ku were panting, both worn out from the exchange but still holding onto each other. Turning their faces, they looked at each other, smiles on their faces from their win. And Naruto surprised Ku by wrapping his other arm around her, bring the tailed-beast into a hug, something she hadn't had in ages.
She was shocked at first, her tail stuck up as she didn't know how to respond, but feeling Naruto's grip tightening around her as he laid his head on the top of her chest, inadvertibly pressing into her well endowed chest as well, still, her shock fell, and she returned the hug as well. The world they were in fading around them as they let the darkness overtake them, not caring as they still felt each other's grasp.
Naruto opened his eyes and was met with a bright white ceiling, the previous events in his mind a bit fuzzy, but he couldn't help but feel happy about it. Until he realized, he wasn't taking part in the exam. Immediately sitting up Naruto was greeted with the view of a hospital room, and on one of the seats close to his bed, he saw his Mother, hands crossed as she was spoked by his sudden awakening.
"My goodness, Naruto, you had me worried." She said as the red-hair Mother brought her son into a hug, which he returned.
"Kaasan, what happened?" The Blonde asked as they broke the hug, his Mother looking at him a point concerned as she questioned, "What's the last thing you remember during the exam?"
Bringing a hand to his head the Blonde felt his head pulse in response as he tried to remember, making him groan a bit. But still, he answered the question, "I was fighting a Hidden Rain Ninja, she got the better of me, than I got stabbed.", He said before remember he had to ask one important thing as his eyes widen, "Wait, did me and Hanabi fail?!"
Kushina was about to open her mouth to respond, but another voice did it for her, "No, but we barely passed."
Mother and Son looked at the entrance, finding the Hyuuga heiress standing there with a hand on her hip and a concerned look at her teammate as she walked to the bed and said, "Nice to see you up, had us worried with how long you were out."
"Out? How long was I out for?" Naruto asked.
"2 and a half days." Kushina stated, making Naruto feel shocked by how long it had been as he looked at Hanabi and said, "How did we pass when I was out for that long?"
Hanabi though, sighed at his statement, "Luck." she simply stated before explaining the events of what happened while the Blonde Uzumaki was passed out.
Hanabi found herself on the roof of the tower, completely separated from her teammate as the two Rain ninja continued their joint assault on her, their joint taijutsu being good enough to keep her on the defensive. Until they decided to try something else, the two of them backing up, the rain ninja gave each other nod before moving on opposite sides, with Hanabi in between them before removing the umbrella they both had on their back, before opening it and holding the top part out in front of them, each of them facing Hanabi before they began spinning the umbrella rapidly.
Hanabi could see with her Byakugan the tiny needles that littered the top of the umbrella, that would no doubt be coming her way and any other way she could move, there was no running from them, only defending. Getting into a low stance Hanbai lowered and widened her stance, spreading her arms out on either side as she opened the palms.
'I haven't perfected this yet, but it looks like I don't have a choice to use it.' The Hyuuga Heiress thought as she started to rotated her body rapidly, "Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation!" She shouted as a blue like half bubble protected her body about an arm's length away on her sides. And just in time to as the umbrellas began to rain their many needles in her direction on both sides. Luckily the ones that went her way bounced off her barrier. After a couple of seconds of the attack, Hanabi could tell the attack had dropped substantially, though this also caused her to lose her focus on maintaining the barrier, causing it to break apart and send her flying off the tower, narrowly missing the other needles as she began free-falling down the side.
Despite the fact her body was aching from the recoil, Hanabi thought fast as she quickly took out a kunai attached to some wire string as she threw it as hard as she could at the stone, the kunai digging in as Hanabi grabbed ahold of the wire and swung across the side before finding a window to crash through. Bracing herself the girl let out a grunt of pain as she smashed through the window. And she saw a sight that made her blood freeze, Naruto, on his knees, his head facing the floor, unmoving with a rod straight through his stomach, while the other rain Ninja stood in front of him, the Panda she summoned now gone.
Even with her body aching, Hanabi felt her body move faster than she ever had it gone before as the Rain ninja was barely able to guard against the force of her palm, and even though she blocked it, Ajisai coughed up some blood as she felt her insides being slammed inside her body. Forcing her to the other side of the room, Hanabi took a stance in front of Naruto, while the Rain Ninja all regroup as she faced the three of them. They could all feel the tension in the room as they got ready for the next move. But Hanabi was so focused on the Rain ninja, she didn't even notice the long tongue which proceeded to wrap itself against her arm.
Looking at the source, Hanabi traced the pink organ back to its source, finding a green, snake-tailed chameleon with a black rod through its stomach, on top of Naruto's shoulders. But its eyes, its eyes, Hanabi felt frozen, and her mind a bit fuzzy. She could barely tell what happened next, a fight she thought, through her muddy mind. And when her mind cleared, the Rain trio where gone, along with the green chameleon too.
Quickly remember about her teammate Hanabi ran to Naruto, seeing that whatever was used to stab him was gone, his wound already closed up. Kneeling down she checked his pulse, strong, but slow, as he was in a deep sleep. And with that Hanabi heard a loud horn that was played across the field, signaling that this part of the exam was over.
"After I jumped down to protect you from our opponents, my mind gets a bit fuzzy, can't remember the details except after, and luckily, we made it to the end and held the tower. So we passed." Hanabi explained to her teammate, she already told Kushina about it, to which the red-hair kunoichi seemed a bit concerned. But decided to investigate on her own later.
"So, who else passed?" Naruto asked, while the fight with the cloud ninja and from what he could remember from his mind gave him many questions, the exam was still a priority to him.
Well, why don't you see." Kushina stated, before pulling out a piece of paper, Naruto recognizing the structure as a bracket as he saw his and Hanabi name on it before Kushina continued, "This is a bracket for the next round, a one-on-one tournament with eight contestants, with the winner becoming a Chunin."
"I'll be fighting that red-haired cloud Ninja, Karui," Hanabi stated.
"While you'll be facing-" Kushina started as Naruto finished, "Konohamaru."
Hanabi let out a sigh, "You'll be the last match for the first round while I'll be the first match, we got less than a month to train before the final Exam begins."
Naruto looked up his Mother and teammate, before looking at his lap, or more specifically, his hand, bringing it up to his face, Naruto proceeded to turn it into a fist as he gave a look of determination, "Than I guess I have some time to train than, Konohamaru won't be easy to take down."
Hanabi and Kushina smiled, glad to see the fact that he was gonna face a friend wouldn't deter him. Making her way to the door Hanabi stated, "I'm gonna go, Hinata and Neji should've arrived in the Village by now, and I need to train, I'm still not good enough."
Opening the door, Hanabi and Naruto looked at each other, giving the other a nod, they probably weren't gonna see each other for a while and knew that when they would, they would be even more powerful than before. And with that, Hanabi left, leaving Mother and Son by themselves in the private hospital room.
"Naruto."
"Yes, Kassan."
"Something else happened, otherwise you wouldn't have been out for 3 days, what was it?" Kushina asked as she gave her son a hard look, straight look.
Naruto winced a bit from the look before replying, "I'm not sure, my minds a bit fuzzy."
But Kushina could tell Naruto wasn't being completely honest and with a stern look and voice she said, "Either tell me everything now, or you're not getting your reward." The red-hair sensei said as she moved her hands under her breasts and changed her look to one of annoyance and a stern stare.
The threat of no reward frightened Naruto as he immediately started telling Kushina everything he could remember, the Mother of the boy listening very carefully to his words.
Out in a far away country, small and surrounded by three great powers, an orange haired man wearing a black cloak coated with red clouds stood on a small balcony, the tall tower he was on view the rest of his Village as the never-ending rain poured over it. Behind him, a blue-haired woman stood, "Lady Angel" she was called, but to the man, she was Konan.
"You called me here, what happened?" Konan asked her friend, or more accurately, the vessel that he was currently using.
Turning to look at her Konan saw the purple eyes he possed, that she had seen her friend have all throughout their childhood, and even now, she could still feel the power emanating from it as he spoke, "The genin we sent, they succeeded."
"They found a Jinchuriki!?"
"Yes, it seems our theory was correct, the Nine-tails was split in half, one residing in Naruko Uzumaki." He started, Konan nodding as they each knew the Daughter of the 4th Hokage held the Kyuubi, thanks to their sources and Intel before her friend continued, "And the other half, resides in her younger Brother, Naruto Uzumaki."
Konan nodded at the information, for a while now their sources had been a bit off, they didn't think it was possible for a tailed beast to be split in two, they knew Naruko Uzumaki had part of the beast, but their sources in Konoha also stated that a young boy, member of the Hokage's family also had a piece. They needed to be certain before making their next move.
Speaking up Konan said, "So, does this the plan in the sound is set?"
"Are the arrangements with the cloud all set?" The man asked.
"Yes, they still think we are on their side and are cooperating with the plan." Konan replied before adding, "To think, with our successful operations in just the last few months, and we thought we would be able to take three Jinchuriki with this move, but now, it's possible it might be 4."
Turning away the man looked up at the sky, "Yes, at the Chunin Exams, we will make our grand move, this world shall see the beginning of, Pain."
A/N: Pain is here bitches! God I can't believe this is actually happening, when I first set out to write this story is was originality just gonna be some smut with genin Naruto, simple.
