Chapter 10
"Sasuke Uchiha is disqualified. Will Shino Aburame and Kankuro come down?" Genma exclaimed. The crowd showed their dissatisfaction by throwing things at the proctor.
"I forfeit," the puppet user said raising his hand.
"Winner by forfeit: Shino. Next match is Temari versus Shikamaru Nara," the proctor said. The sandy blonde used her fan and glided down to the field.
"Troublesome. I'm gonna have to forfiet. The medics are all busy training and I couldn't find anyone to heal my injuries from training," Shikamaru said as he showed the crowd his his arm and leg which were in makeshift casts.
"Must've been harsh training," the black haired boy mumbled.
"Get down here and fight me, you lazy ass bum," Temari yelled.
"Temari that's enough. He clearly cant fight with broken bones yet alone move his hand," Gaara said as he analyzed the Nara's injuries. The fan user stormed back up to the stand.
"Winner by default: Temari. Will Naruto Uzumaki and Gaara of the Desert come?" Genma called out just as a swirl of wind and leaves appeared.
"Are we late?" Kakashi asked. Sasuke was leaned against his senseis back with a smug smirk.
"Sasuke's match was the second round and he failed to show. Looks like your laziness rubbed off on him. Anyways, he's been disqualified," Gaara explained as he and Naruto walked onto the field. Up in the Kage box, the Kazekage had three swords pressed against his throat just as he was about to lunge at Hiruzen. Thanks to the genjutsu that the Mizukage put around them, nobody realized what was happening.
"For trying to assassinate the Third Hokage you are to be executed immediately," Utakata stated as he secretly put a chakra blocking seal on the Kage and stabbed his sword into Rasa's neck, killing him.
"ANBU take the body away and make sure nobody sees you. Thank you for stopping the invasion but, how did you know he would attack now?" Sarutobi asked forgetting that Gaara told the rest of the jinchuuriki.
"Mr. One informed us of the foul play," Bee rapped sheathing his sword. The ANBU grabbed the body and disappeared.
"What? You cant disqualify me, I'm an Uchiha," the raven haired boy snarled.
"Name means nothing, Uchiha. You disgraced this village by showing up late and now you think you're above the Hokage's orders? I'll only say this once and once only. Get off the field before you end up six feet under," Naruto said coldly.
"Now, now Naruto surely you wont mind giving Sasuke you spot? After all, everyone knows that you couldn't beat Neji. He's a prodigy after all," the silver haired jounin stated with a bit of arrogance in his tone.
"Actually Kakashi, Naruto dominated the Hyuga prodigy by using his bloodlines," the proctor said.
"Naruto doesn't have any bloodlines. I knew his parents and, while they were strong they never showed any signs of having a bloodline. Now I'm ordering you to give Sasuke your spot," Kakashi said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Kakashi Hatake, get Sasuke Uchiha off the field now. He's been disqualified and that's final," the aged Hokage yelled as Mei released the genjutsu. Before the masked jounin could reply, the Uchiha rushed the black haired boy only to be kicked into the ground with a lightning covered sword at his throat.
"You defy your Kage's order? I should kill you now," the Rinne-Sharingan user stated. Kakashi appeared behind his student his student with a kunai at his throat.
"Release him at once," the jounin demanded.
"Kakashi, stand-," Hiruzen stated but, was interrupted when the rest of the jinchuuriki, Kiba and, Kurama suddenly had the jounin surrounded with weapons at every vital spot.
"Stand down. I'll show this Uchiha kiss-ass why I'm the leader of the Ten Grand-masters," Naruto ordered as he grabbed his soon to be ex-senseis wrist, flipped him over his head and slammed him into the floor. Kakashi yelled pain as the blacksmith kicked him and the Uchiha into the the stadium wall.
"Attacking the head of several clans Hatake? Let me remind you why the Uzumaki, Namikaze, Senju and, Uchiha clans were feared," the young Senju said as Kakashi pried himself out of the wall.
"There's no way you're part of the Senju or Uchiha clan," the smut reading jounin stated while he dodged wooden spikes.
"Impossible, that's the First Hokage's bloodline. How does someone like you have it?" the jounin yelled as he charged a Chidori and charged his student. Once he was close enough, Naruto lifted his head and the attacking jounin finally saw his eyes and jumped back.
"Old man, what do you want done with him?" the Uzumaki asked while spiking his chakra.
"Knock him out Naruto. I'll send him to Ibiki," Sarutobi said.
"Tsukuyomi" the whiskered boy said just as Sasuke crawled out of the wall.
'How does he know that jutsu?' he seethed as he saw his silver haired sensei fall. The ANBU came down and took Kakashi away while the Uchiha glared daggers at Naruto.
"How do you know that jutsu? That's an Uchiha clan technique," Sasuke yelled. The Rinne-Sharingan user got tired of his idiot teammate so he blasted him back into the wall, rendering him unconscious. Genma picked up the unconscious Uchiha and brought him to the medic bay to rest before starting the match. Gaara immediately sent his sand at his captain who shot towards the One-Tails jinchuuriki dodging his sand and, attacked him with a volley of palm thrusts and kicks. The red head blocked a parried them all but, was shot back by Naruto's Almighty Push. The Sand shinobi flipped in mid air, landed on his feet several yards away then, shot towards the blacksmith.
'Lightning Style: Four Pillar Bind,' the Namikaze thought as he flashed through hand seals faster than the eye can follow. Gaara, being caught off guard, screamed in pain when four giant stone pillars rose up and shot lightning bolts between each other. Managing to substitute out of the jutsu, the red haired boy went through his own series of hand signs.
'Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb,' he thought to himself as he exhaled a a high-pressure stream of fire.
'Water Style: Water Encampment Wall,' Naruto thought as he made the tiger seal and blew out a large wall of water that collided with the fire jutsu, creating steam. Not wasting anytime, the Senju put his hands in the snake sign.
'Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence,' he said as he recreated the forest.
"Fuck," Gaara mumbled as he jumped onto a nearby branch and sent his sand all over the place trying to weed out his opponent.
"Dammit, Gaara's fighting blind in there," Kankuro said as he gripped the railing tightly.
"Over here," Naruto whispered from Gaara's left. Not being able to block in time, the One-Tails jinchuuriki was slashed eight times before the Uzumaki vanished into the forest again.
"If I cant sense you then I'll just have to force you out. Giant Sand Tsunami," Gaara exclaimed as his sand covered the whole forest and destroyed it in the blink of an eye.
"You really mean business," the blacksmith said as he emerged from the stadium wall in front of his friend.
"I am fighting the strongest member of the Ten Grand-masters so I need to go all out," he said as he unsealed his own sword and charged his captain. The sound of metal clashing with metal rang through the arena as both fighters moved faster than any shinobi can follow.
"Incredible. I cant follow their movements," Lee exclaimed.
"Don't follow with your eyes, follow with your ears," his sensei told him.
'Phantom Blade Dance,' the Senju though to himself as he skidded to a stop before vanishing into thin air.
"Guy-sensei what technique is that?" the mini version of Guy questioned.
"I'm not sure Lee but, any trace of Naruto and his chakra seemed to vanished," the bushy browed jounin stated. Naruto materialized several behind his opponent and resealed his swords. At the same time, blood started pouring out of Gaara from hundreds of slash wounds.
"Ahhhhhhh," Gaara screamed as he fell to his knees. Acting on instinct, the red haired jinchuuriki activated a healing jutsu he created and started to heal heal his wounds.
'I see, he couldn't master my healing jutsu so he created his own version of equal power,' Naruto thought to himself.
"I don't think so," the black haired boy yelled as he rushed Gaara, reaching him in mere seconds and bombarding him with vicious blows. The raccoon looking boy matched his captains attacks, both dealing and receiving bone crushing damage. As his sand returned to his gourd, Gaara jumped back before creating an area effect seal with his chakra. Seeing this, the Nine-Tails jinchuuriki countered by spiking his chakra, negating Gaara's seal and saving himself from being severely burned.
"These kids are monsters. Just what kind of training did they do to get this powerful?" a random shinobi questioned.
"How about we end this in one last attack and defense? The strongest jutsu wins," the shirtless boy said with a sadistic grin.
"You're on," Gaara replied as they both jumped back to opposite sides of the arena.
'Summoning Jutsu,' Naruto thought as four large summoning seals appeared. In large clouds of smoke, the four bosses of the legendary summoning contracts appeared.
'You called, Naruto?' Byakko, the boss of the white tiger summons asked. The whole audience paled when they saw the four legendary boss summons.
"We're using that," the Uzumaki prince said as the summons nodded.
'Collaboration Jutsu: Five Element Decimation' the summons and their summoner thought as they all made contact with each other. The minute they connected, a dragon of each element spiraled towards Gaara.
'Ultimate Defense: Shukaku's Shield,' the red haired boy thought as his sand created a toy-like replica of Shukaku in the nick of time. The collaboration jutsu collided with the shield and both jutsu battled for dominance. Gaara used this time to dash out of range of the explosion then activated his final attack.
"Javelin Sand Storm," he yelled as he thrusted both hands in his opponents direction. The sand immediately turned into javelins and sped towards Naruto at high speeds. The boss summons dispelled themselves and the Uzumaki countered with his final move.
'Almighty Push,' the blacksmith said mentally as an invisible force repelled the javelins and slammed into Gaara at full force sending him smashing into the wall, rendering him unconscious and, given him some broken bones.
"Winner: Naruto" the proctor exclaimed as the whole crowd was in shock. Naruto pulled his comrades unconscious body and walked off towards the medic bay. Once there, he laid Gaara down, placed the healing runes around his bed and, activated them.
"How are you part of four clans?" Sasuke questioned as he sat up in his hospital.
"My family," the black haired boy said vaguely as he sat down and pulled out a book on advanced medical jutsu.
"Every Uchiha clan member lived in the abandoned Uchiha district and was massacred by him," the raven haired boy growled.
"Not all," the Rinne-Sharingan wielder said as he turned a page.
"Explain," the Sharingan wielder demanded glaring at his teammate.
"The news will be released after the chunin exams but, considering you wont leave me alone, I'll humor you. My great grandfather is Madara Uchiha which is how I'm an Uchiha. My great-great grandfather is Hashirama Senju making me a Senju as well. My parents are Kushina Uzumaki Uchiha and Minato Namikaze Senju. Does that answer your question, Uchiha?" Naruto explained as he pulled out a pen and started to edit things in the book while muttering to himself.
"If that's true then why was your heritage not revealed when you were born?" the raven haired boy asked.
"My mother made enemies with the Third Raikage and the Tsuchikage still holds a grudge against my dad. Now leave me alone," the Namikaze said as he flipped another page. The Sharingan user huffed and laid back down.
"You've improved a lot, Gaara. To be able to create a medical jutsu on par with my own is amazing," Naruto complimented just as a frog masked ANBU appeared.
"Naruto Uzumaki, the Lord Third and the council requested your presence in two hours," the frog masked ANBU said before disappearing in a body-flicker.
Council Chambers Two Hours Later
"What's with the urgent meeting, old man?" Naruto asked as he walked into the chambers.
"Naruto, my name is Shikaku Nara and I'm the ANBU commander. Lord Hokage explained your suggestions the shinobi council and we've all agreed that it will be put into place immediately," the Nara clan head informed him.
"I already figured this would happen," the whiskered boy said as he sat down.
"Naruto, I have a couple personal requests to ask you. Firstly, the council wants your thoughts on reforming the Police Force and lastly, I would like for you to tighten up the villages internal and external defenses as much as you can," Hiruzen requested as he slid a map of the village with certain areas circled, indicating that military structures and defenses are there. Sarutobi then pushed a stack of files over to his surrogate grandson.
"There's many things wrong with the defenses," Naruto said as he kept looking at the map.
"What do you mean?" Inoichi questioned as he walked over to the boy in question and looked at the map.
"The Police Force, ANBU HQ and, Jounin Standby Station should be near the center of the village for better accessibility. The top of the gates there should be sentry towers with sensory seals in between them. I already have clones removing the seals around the wall and replacing them with category six seals. The alternative gates should be used for trade as well instead of just another route to the village. As for the clusters of trees inside the village, it would be best to leave them be and have our enemies think they are full of traps. As for the external defenses, the boss summons have already agreed to let some of there kin live here in the surrounding forest," Naruto explained while he was pointing to every place he mentioned. Shikaku Nara gaped in awe at the strategical military brilliance that the black haired boy displayed while the rest of the shinobi council could only stare in shock.
"What about the top of the Hokage Monument?" Choza Akimichi questioned.
"That will be littered with summons as well. Now the summons will be scattered throughout the forest and will have full access to the surrounding forest in order to have an advantage over anyone who tries to attack. Moving on the the Police Force, I suggest that members of the Hyuga, Aburame, Inuzuka, Akimichi, Nara, Yamanaka and, Sarutobi clans to rotate routes within the village. This gives the new Police Force (PF) a much larger variety of battle formations. I recommend having the clan heads or, a trusted clan member, be in charge this way the paperwork is divided to make sure nobody is stuck doing it while others just enjoy themselves," the Uzumaki prince told them, once again shocking them.
"Thank you Naruto. Is there anything you want to let us know?" Sarutobi asked as he put the files away.
"Your jounin are as weak as genin. If I can beat Kakashi while he's using the Sharingan then, I can beat every jounin in this village. Just because we are in a time of peace does not mean they slack off. If they want to remain jounin then they will meet me at training ground zero at the crack of dawn. If they are even one second late, I will come to your house, drag you out of bed then, proceed to kick your ass around the village, old man. If you want to keep the Leaf Village as the strongest village then heed my warning. I will make you rethink not listening to me if they are late. That goes for all of you," the Nine-Tails jinchuuriki said.
"Ox get me every jounin immediately. If they argue tell them I will demote them back to the academy," the Hokage ordered.
"What about Kakashi Hatake, Lord Third?" the ANBU asked.
"Kakashi was dealt with and the seal placed on him has been removed," Hiruzen told Ox who nodded and disappeared.
"You must have balls of steel to make such a threat to your Kage and clan heads," Hiashi stated.
"I consider Naruto as family and, since I did as much as I could for him when he was a child, I know that Naruto means business. Not only that but, he is the strongest shinobi that the Leaf has ever produced. From the reports I received during his seven year training trip and a verbal report from Naruto himself, he is stronger than the First, Second and, Fourth Hokages as well as myself and my students. That doesn't mean he is unstoppable, though. To top it off, he could destroy a village single-handedly and more than likely come back without a scratch," the aged Hokage explained.
"Can we have a verbal report on your skills, Naruto? It will help in the future if we need to place you on a team," the head of the Aburame clan asked/said.
"I am the strongest of the Ten Grand-masters. I have mastered every jutsu that the Sannin, Kurama, my clans records and my bloodlines have. Also, I created several jutsu for Wood Style and the basic five elements. I am diverse in every aspect of a shinobi and, dare I say, an expert in every area. Also, I have mastered my bloodlines to practically their full extent and only need one hand sign for majority of the jutsu I know. I hold five summoning contracts along with being able to summon eight other animals without the use of a contract, hand signs or, blood. They include: Giant Drill-Beaked Bird, Giant Multi-Headed Dog, Giant Rhino, Giant Crustacean, Giant Panda, Giant Centipede, Giant Ox and, Giant Snake-Tailed Chameleon," the masked boy told them.
"A few questions: Who exactly is Kurama? How did you get five summoning contracts? Would you be willing to let others sign them?" Choza questioned looking at the boy with a raised eye brow.
"In order: Kurama is the Nine-Tails but, he's engaged and loyal to me so he wont attack the village. The four legendary contracts are part of the Uzumaki royal family, which myself and, due to being engaged to me, my fiances are the last of. The last summoning contract is the contract for foxes given to me by Kurama as an engagement gift. As for letting anybody else sign them, you can shove it up your ass. The belong to the Uzumaki royal family and will stay that way. As of right now there are only three other people who ha ve signed the contracts of their choice and they are Yagura, Kurama and Kiba," the blacksmith told the shinobi council just as the jounin of the village walked in.
"Why don't you just hand them over to Sasuke? He could put them to better use," a random jounin stated smugly.
"As if that filthy, power hungry fool will ever sign my clans contracts," the young Senju snarled.
"Why not? After all you both are part of the Uchiha clan," the same jounin pointed out.
"Only those with the blood of the Uzumaki royal family or their mates can sign them. Now shut up and pay attention. Starting tomorrow every single jounin in this village will report to training ground zero at the crack of dawn for evaluation. If you are so much of a second late, you will be stripped of your rank and sent to academy. Also, if you don't meet the requirements to be a jounin you will be put on a strict training regimen whether you like it or not. That goes for the ANBU as well," Naruto told them as he released a bit of KI to show that he means business. Several jounin tried protesting but, were silenced by the old Fire Shadow.
"This was decided by the council and myself. You have all slacked off on your training just because we are in a time of peace. That changes now. The Leaf Village is the strongest of the Five Great Villages and will remain that way. Failure to comply will result in your demotion," Hiruzen stated while raising his voice.
"Every jounin and ANBU must be at the proper level in every area of a shinobi unless you have a condition like Might Guy in which case you will broaden your horizon to areas that do not require the use of large amounts of chakra. If you do not meet my standards then you will be be put under a strict and severe regimen. As for those of you who can use chakra but, only specialize in one area you are report to Lord Hokage for further instructions and to receive your training regimen. Do I make myself clear?" Naruto said coldly.
"Sir yes sir," every jounin in the room shouted as they stood at attention. Shikaku Nara was next to speak.
"Lord Hokage, I propose that Naruto be Vice ANBU commander. He has proven that he is more than capable of leading a squad and he is a better strategist than myself," he said.
"I'll accept under the condition that I work only part-time. As you may not know, we Uzumaki don't like being away from our family for extended periods of time. I will only work inside the village unless I'm needed as reinforcements for B-ranked to S-ranked missions. Other than that, I will be busy tightening the villages defenses and analyzing the jounins and ANBUs ability," the now appointed Vice ANBU commander told him as the Hokage dismissed the jounin.
"I agree with Naruto. I also want to say that if you try to involve his family without their consent then I will personally tear down the changes that he made, resign my entire clan from being active shinobi and will leave the village. If that happens, my clan and I will be considered civilians which means we can leave the village without repercussions," Tsume finally spoke.
"I assure you that we wont involve his family unless we need to and even then we'll get their permission," the Hokage assured the Inuzuka matriarch.
"I'll need a team of your most trusted to draw a summoning seal in the forest on the Hokage Monument and the forest here, here and, here. Let them know that the seals must be hidden away so nobody but everyone here and the ANBU who place them know where they are," the young strategist explained as he marked the north, east and, west side of the outer wall surrounding the village.
"Ox, bring Yugao, Yamato, Ibiki and, Anko here immediately," the Nara ordered. Ox nodded slightly and disappeared in a body-flicker. A few minutes later, five people walked through the chamber doors.
"You called, commander?" a purple haired ANBU asked.
"Yes. This is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze Senju Uchiha, he will be the Vice ANBU commander," Shikaku told them.
"Isn't he only a genin? Wait did you say Namikaze, Senju and, Uchiha?" a brown haired ANBU asked. Naruto sensed something different about his chakra and decided to find out.
"What's your name?" he asked pointing to the brunet.
"Yamato," the now named Yamato replied.
"What are your skills?" Naruto questioned.
"I'm able to use the Wood Style due to Danzo kidnapping me and experimenting on me and many other kids. I was the only one that survived. Why do you ask, Vice commander?" he man in question said/asked.
"So you have my families bloodline? Even though it's more than like a bastardized version, you are still able to control it. Now the reason you have been called here is because you four will be drawing a large summoning seal in the areas that are marked on the map. This is part of how the villages defenses and security will be tightened. Yamato and I will use our Wood Style to make sentry towers above the gates. After that, I'll head to the center of the village and create the new ANBU HQ, Police Force and, Jounin Standby Station. It will be one building, three stories tall with the Jouin Standby Station on the first floor, PF on the second and, ANBU HQ on the third. Am I clear?" the Vice commander said with authority in his voice while handing them the map.
"Yes Vice commander," Yugao said as she, Anko and, Ibiki left the chambers via body-flicker to complete their task. Naruto also disappeared in a body-flicker a reappeared in the middle of the village.
'Wood Style: Four Pillar House Jutsu,' he thought as he put his hands in the snake sign. A moment later a long, rectangular three story building appeared. Seeing his work complete, the black haired boy made his way towards the west gate to make the sentry tower before moving to the main gate. Once he was done he went back to the council chambers.
"The sentry towers and new PF, HQ and, JSS (Jounin Standby Station) are done. Please have your clans meet at training ground seven in one hour. Ox, please alert all ANBU in the village and in the old HQ of the whereabouts to the new location and to pack up everything. Once that's done I want you to incinerate the building," Naruto ordered getting several nods before everyone left the chambers.
One Hour Later; Train Field Seven
"Lord Hokage why are we here?" a Yamanaka asked.
"That's simple. Every clan here will make up the new PF. The clan heads will be in charge and they will receive orders directly from the Hokage. You will work in groups of three as followed: the Yamanaka, Nara and, Akimichi clans will will be paired together. Next is the Hyuga, Inuzuka and, Aburame clans. And finally, the Sarutobi clan will be the last three man squad. I have copies of the patrol routes that you will be assigned and they will be changed daily as to not let our enemy familiarize themselves with our patterns. Shifts will start at 6am sharp and you will be relieved by the next squad at 2pm. That squad will patrol until 10pm where the night shift works until 6am. Each shift will get two fifteen minute breaks and a half hour break. Any questions?" the Vice commander explained.
"Yea, why are we listening to a genin?" a Hyuga questioned.
" Naruto here is the Vice ANBU commander. Any other questions? You're dismissed," the Hokage told the clans as no one spoke up.
"Before you leave, the PF is in the middle of the building on the first floor and the routes will be posted on the bulletin board next to the secretaries desk. You will be required to sign in if you want to be paid," Shikaku said before they left.
"How did you come up with all of this Naruto?" Sarutobi asked.
"I had to study maps of the village so I noticed several things wrong," the boy in question replied.
