After Naruto and the group had saved the country of wave, a large celebration was held for them. Naruto was not present at the celebration however, as he never saw a reason to attend any kind of festival that was held. In his own village, Naruto never even attended one as he would be chased off shortly after he entered the grounds.
So here he was sitting on the roof of the house that they were currently staying in, waiting for the others to return. Sitting next to him was Yami, who had never attended one either, being an assassin barely provided her with things such as these festivals that she had heard of.
The two were talking of things that happened in their lives, connecting if you will. Naruto telling about how he lived and getting told the same by Yami. Being told of her past missions and how she completed them.
"So, Yami san, what do you think of the world so far?" Naruto asked her after she finished telling of her life so far.
"It is… very pleasant to live on. I have been to… far worse places before." She told him getting a nod from Naruto.
"I can imagine that. Did you have parents, or a family before?" Naruto asked her.
"A sister. You could say that she is my originator, for I am what you would call a clone of her that has had Nano machines imbedded within my body allowing me to use my abilities." She told him tersely, not comfortable with the conversation.
"I see, well, look on the bright side, you are not a full clone of her and are your own person. You are you, Yami san." Naruto said to her getting a small smile from her.
"Eve." She said to him.
"Huh?"
"My name, my real name, is Eve." She spoke up to him.
"It suits you, Eve." Naruto said getting a small, very faint blush from her.
"Thank you… Naruto san." She said looking away from him shyly.
As the two fell into a comfortable silence, Naruto laid back as Yami, now Eve looked up at the clouds as she hugged her knees to her chest.
"It is a nice night out." She spoke after several minutes.
"Indeed, nice night to watch the clouds and relax with a friend." Naruto responded to her.

The two eventually returned inside after it started to mist over once more, and adjourned to their rooms for the night, leaving the others to wonder what they were doing on the roof alone, save for Lala who simply smiled at the two of them as they walked inside. The next morning, the group had gathered at the end of the newly complete bridge where it was named after Naruto for saving the country.

A single mercenary walked into a building at the same time as Naruto and his group was leaving.
"Hey man, I have a new addition to the books." He called out to an elderly looking man that walked up to him.
"Who is it?" he was asked as the man pulled out a pencil and paper.
"He said his name was Naruto Uzumaki, called himself the honor guard, he fought several hundred mercenaries and killed Gato with some kind of jutsu. He wore some suit of silver armor, and had red and blonde hair. Fought with two swords at first but used his bare hands to decimate an entire army when he grew angered by what our employer said." The merc told him.
"Alright, this will be in the new version to come out soon." The man said in reply.

The group was now on their way back to the village with Ino and Sakura once more telling the other off.
"Girls, don't forget that I still have the kitty on my side and I am still in charge until we report to the old man." Naruto said making them both instantly clam up.
"What about Lala san and yourself Naruto? Surely you aren't acting like a hypocrite." Kakashi said trying to make him look like a fool.
"No Kakashi I am not, Lala chan and myself are in fact engaged, and she doesn't screech when someone tries to grab hold of me. Hell she wants me to have more girls to be with. So I don't do anything against her simply because she won't try to give away our position when something doesn't go her way." Naruto said causing him to look down as he was made into looking like a fool instead. "Plus you do know that since you have seen her around a lot, and she simply stays quiet when she isn't with me as she works on other things that require her full attention." Naruto spoke up once more.
"That's true, once Naruto Kun takes over for daddy, he won't be bound by these laws that your world has." Lala commented to the group making several look on confused by her words.
The trip to the village was fairly quiet after the comment that the two made to the rest of the group.

Upon reaching the office of the kage, bypassing the guards and their odd looks, Naruto pushed open the door before he walked in, fully seeing that there were two older people in the room with the old man.
"How dare you, can't you see that we are having a meeting?" the elderly woman asked seeing that Naruto had no care while he walked in with Lala and Yami.
"hey old man, we completed the mission, the team 10 was sad, after I got there, Ino tried to jump the Uchiha, having no sense of decency, Shikamaru and Choji had more self-control but none knew of the tree walking. After they got to the first and lowest branch, Sakura and Ino both tried to get out of it thinking that they had mastered it, I corrected them on that mistake though." Naruto said to him as he took a seat completely ignoring the other two elders in the room.
"Oh, did you get to have any of your fun?" the Hokage asked him.
"Kind of, I toned it down the first day, Haruno tried to tell me off when I was training them and I cuffed her, with chakra cuffs, to make her unable to use her arms at all during the mission, she still has them on too. Your son also tried to take command from me, I think he learned his lesson after the bruise and near dislocated shoulder I gave him." Naruto told him with a bored tone.
"I see. Well I must say good work Naruto Kun, and who are these other two that you have brought with you?" he asked seeing that Haku and Zabuza were in the room as well, following Naruto's lead.
"Haku, an ice user and Zabuza, I am sure you know of him already though." Naruto said to him getting a nod.
"We demand that you tell us how the mission went Uzumaki." The male elder said to him.
"I'm disinclined to acquiesce your request." Naruto said casually to them making the two growl at him. "Means no." Naruto spoke again informatively to them.
"We are the elders of this village and the council, you will obey…" the male started to say before Naruto glared at him slightly, causing him to see a full oni mask that Naruto had learned to create.
"I do believe that the mission results are of no concern to you or the council, you after all have no affairs with the ninja of this village." Naruto said causing them to both clam up. "And don't forget, I have a kitty on my side, while you don't." Naruto commented making the two pale vastly at the mere mention of the cat.
"So, Naruto kun, what happened on the mission?" the kage asked him.
"Nothing much, Kakashi tried to humiliate me, backfired, tried to make me seem a fool, backfired, tried to take my command that you gave me in front of him, backfired. The only thing he did do was listen to orders since I threatened his little book's life while I threatened Asuma's smokes. After that they listened to me perfectly. Had a brat that claimed I didn't know anything of pain and a hard life, proved him wrong , gave my swords back to my sister who left to go back home. Having Lala chan make me my own pair." Naruto said to him, "oh and can't forget, I massacred an entire army because they pissed me off, especially when they wanted to take Lala and Eve and dishonor them, gained full control of my honor mode, and saved a small country, as a reward I got a bridge named after me." Naruto told him casually causing him to shake his head.
"Only you Naruto. Only you could save a country by getting mad and then getting a bridge named after you." The kage said to him. "I knew of some of what you did before you got here though, this came out several days ago while you were still on the road." He told him as he shown Naruto a page out of the newest bingo book.
"Cool, hey Zabuza look it's me. I am in the bingo book now." Naruto said as he pointed to it while looking at Zabuza.
"Well, your all dismissed then, and Naruto you can uncuff Sakura now." Sarutobi said to him.
"By the way old man, I got the cat again." Naruto said as he lifted the cat up shown it asleep.
"Well here is your pay for that as well then." The kage said as he handed the money over.

After several weeks, Kakashi stood in the Hokage office with the other Jounin sensei of the teams, the Hokage sitting behind the desk and explaining about what was coming up within the month.
"Who wishes to nominate their teams?" he asked immediately getting the three rookie Jounin sensei to step forward.
"I nominate team 7 for the chunnin exams." Kakashi said.
"I nominate team 8/ 10 for the chunnin exams." Was the same response from the other two Jounin.
"I nominate team 9 as well for the chunnin exams." A green spandex wearing man said.
"Now wait a minute, the rookies are not ready for this." Iruka called out after hearing that they all were being nominated for the exams.
"I was half Naruto's age when I took the exam and graduated." Kakashi said to him.
"Naruto is not you Kakashi, you are going to break these gennin."
"Iruka, when we went to the wave to help team 10, what do you think Naruto did there?" Kakashi asked him getting shrug. "He was in charge by order of the Hokage, he massacred an entire army of mercenaries and even saved the country. When I was his age, I did none of those things, but if you wish to test them yourself, be my guest, I won't stop you. Word of warning should you do so, never threaten his fiancé or house guest." Kakashi told him.
"Why not?" one of the other Jounin asked him.
"if you do then he will make an example of you by nearly killing you, he did it to Sakura on the first day of the teams, then a council man the same day, he has no recollection of either of those days as far as we know, he even let Inoichi mind walk him and he found nothing to denote that he did either act." The kage spoke up, shivers went throughout the room. "He also tossed an Anbu at a council man that tried to stop him from leaving, on orders from the council man himself." The kage said once more.

As he walked through the town, Lala held onto Naruto's arm with a smile on her face, both fully aware that they were being followed by a large rectangular rock.
"Kono, rocks are not square." Naruto said to the rock before it exploded in a blast of smoke.
"To… much gunpowder." They heard one voice say as three of the coughed.
"Why don't you introduce me to your little friends Kono." Naruto said as he looked at him.
"I am the soon to be sexiest Kunoichi, Moegi." The young girl said getting a nod from Naruto.
"I like math, Udon." The other boy said.
"Together we make the…" they started to say.
"Boss sad." Naruto said to them causing the three to face fault at the rather blunt comment that he made.
"So boss, who is this? Is she you're…?" he asked him before he held up his pinky finger.
"no." Naruto said blankly to him. "She is my fiancée, not girlfriend." Naruto told him.
"Hey boss, you promised us that you would play ninja with us today." Moegi called out getting nod.
"True I did promise Kono that, I can include you two in it as well." Naruto said before a voice called out.
"A ninja playing ninja, how pathetic." Sakura said as she walked up to the small group.
"Not really Haruno, after all, if they are playing ninja they learn strategy and tactics, as well as team work. Unlike what you do, I had to force you to train in wave." Naruto said causing her to look ashamed.
"Hey boss is this your teammate?" Konohamaru asked him.
"Sadly, yes." Naruto said in reply.
"I must say that you chose right, this other girl is way better looking than the flat chest forehead girl." He spoke once more.
"Why you…" she growled out before she made to chase after them. The three kids not waiting around, ran around the corner, but before Sakura could chase after them, Naruto close lined her causing her to fall to the ground.
"Before you even start, know that if you had hit that boy, the Anbu would have hauled your ass off faster than you can say mommy. That boy is the Hokage's grandson." Naruto said sending a shiver of fear down her spine before Naruto heard a cry.
Going to investigate, Naruto saw that Konohamaru was being held by a sand ninja with what looked like a cat costume and a bandaged thing on his back.
"I suggest you let him go." Naruto told the two sand Nin that was in the alley.
"Oh, and who's going to make me?" the cat suit man asked.
"I say again, let him go." Naruto spoke once more.
"Make me." The sand Nin said to him.
Shaking his head, Naruto seemed to fade before he slammed his fist into the man's face causing him to let Konohamaru go while he flew back into the fence that was several yards behind him. "I can place you under arrest simply for being here and threatening a civilian, makes it worse that this child that you were going to hit is the Hokage's grandson." Naruto said causing the girl to freeze in her started attempt to strike Naruto. "Also, it matters not that you are our alley or here for the chunnin exams, if you act up, you will be brought before the interrogation department."
"What are you doing here?" the pink haired girl asked them snootily.
"Is she…" the blonde female started to ask.
"Serious? Sadly yes, she is the best bookworm in the academy, and thus never was good at listening when others her age spoke aside from her precious Sasuke Kun who happens to be in the tree with the raccoon." Naruto commented.
"Why is there sand ninja in my village?" the Uchiha asked snobby.
"Sasuke, I have a kitty who would like a word with you, especially if you think that this village is yours." Naruto said to him making the boy and girl of his team instantly pale knowing what the cat was capable of.
"Why would anyone be scared of a cat?" the sand girl asked confused.
"This cat is no ordinary kitty. He is a highly trained assassin that loves to fight, his training started when he was taken in by the daimyo and his wife, after that he brought down many a ninja team, even Anbu and Kage's alike. He was never beaten until he met me." Naruto said with a grin.
"Stand down." Cold voice rang out before a swirl of sand arrived in the alley to reveal a red haired sand Nin.
"But Gaara they…" the cat man said.
"Kankuro, shut up or I'll kill you." The red haired one said to the other.
"So sand man, how's the little raccoon doing?" Naruto asked him casually.
"Who are you?" The Uchiha asked trying to get attention.
"Me?" the girl asked getting a glare.
"No, the red head." Sasuke said.
"I wasn't too sure that you swung that way Uchiha, but thanks for the proof of your gaydom." Naruto said to him getting a glare as well. "in case you were deaf several seconds ago, the cat boy is named Kankuro, obviously as he was called as such, while little red here is called Gaara, the only one that we did not hear a name for is the blonde, and since I know that I am the only straight male of this team, already having a fiancé, I can tell for certain that you would not like to know her name seeing as she isn't important enough for you to give a damn about." Naruto said causing him to glare worse while a scowl appeared on his face.
"You know, that actually makes some sense. Why else would he ask for someone's name that he already knows other than to try and get them to date him. I would watch out though." The girl said. "I think his loyal fan girl, has rabies."
Sure enough, when they looked at Sakura, she was foaming at the mouth looking ready to bite someone, specifically Naruto. "HOW DARE YOU IMPLICATE THAT Sasuke KUN IS GAY." She screamed out.
"If you care to take note, he did not deny my accusations and therefore is gay. If he took enough care to deny them, then we would be forced to make him prove it by getting a date with a female and kissing her with proof." Naruto said to her causing her to go wide eyed at what he had just said to her.
"Neh, names Tamari, what's yours?" she asked of Naruto
"Naruto, honor guard." Naruto simply stated to her getting a set of wide eyes as she heard about him from the bingo book that was released to the nations several weeks ago.

After the two teams parted ways, Naruto and his team were standing on a bridge that was in the training ground that they normally went to, waiting for their sensei to show up. Several hours after Sakura and Sasuke shown up, Naruto had arrived, then several minutes later, Kakashi shown up as well getting yelled at by Sakura.
"I decided to enroll you three in the chunnin exams this time around. Here are the forms. Other than that you are dismissed for the day." Kakashi said to them completely ignoring Sakura before he disappeared.
"Hmm, different, rookies like you two almost never get assigned into the exams." Naruto commented to them, fully knowing what the exams were about. Before the others could try and make a comment on his comment, Naruto left the grounds with a heavy leap, making it impossible for the others to follow him at all.
ZZ
Later that night, Naruto was woken by a crash sound making his eye twitch as he rose from the bed that he was in. walking out, he saw a masked Nin with a lot of garb on. The Nin stood in the middle of his front room with a shattered window and its pieces laying around him, causing Naruto's eye to twitch even more.
"Heh, you gennin, if you don't obey my will, I'll take your girl and make her mine." The man said.
Before he knew anything else however, Naruto had a fist buried inside his stomach before he brought another fist down on his head and then back causing him to release a cry of pain from the brutal strength that Naruto had deployed.
"Fix my window, or you will get worse. " Naruto said to him as his fist glowed with a yellow light making the very air around him shimmer, an eerie glow emanating from it and surrounding Naruto. Shakily nodding the man took out his wallet and handed over enough to cover the window before he tried leaving quickly.
"Naruto sama never said that you could leave." He heard a light feminine voice say, turning, the man saw a small angel looking doll with a large cleaver in her right hand and a simple match in her left. Smiling to him, she struck the match against the cleaver causing it to catch on fire before she started to slash at him, making the man cry out as he was being chased by her.
