(Last Time…)
Smiling, Naruto said "Well, Hinata, how about you help me with the 5th kata? I'm having some trouble with it and I could really use your help."
"Of course, Naruto-kun, whatever I can do to help. I'm really doing it…I'm helping Naruto-kun. I want more. I want to be stronger. Stronger for Naruto-kun, stronger for everyone so I don't have to be a burden."
"She's going to be just fine, isn't she? Someday she really is going to be something," thought Naruto.
"Yes she is Naruto-kun. She always was something; it was just her own confidence that held her back. Someday she will be a great asset to Naruto-kun. It's horrible that I only see her as a resource for him, but until I can get her out of this hole she's in, that's all she really is. A possibility…"
"Let's begin, Naruto-kun. We have a lot to do today," said Hinata, still in her gentle voice, but with just a slight bit more resolve in it.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Later that evening in Naruto's apartment, he and Kira had just finished dinner. Kira had taught him how to cook different meats and season them for flavor already, so tonight she taught him how to cook using sauces. They had chicken in a spicy orange sauce on white rice.
"That was delicious, Kira-chan!"
"I'm glad you liked it, Naruto-kun," said Kira with a smile. "Now get to bed so we can dispel the Kage Bunshin. I'm not sure how long it will take me to sort through all of their memories, so I need all the time I can get."
"Alright Kira-chan, I'll see you in the morning and…thank you for everything. I just can't think of any way to repay you for all you've done."
"You don't need to thank me, Naruto-kun. You already know why I'm doing this, so you should understand that I'm not doing this for thanks or for something in return…but if you insist, I always loved back rubs," said Kira with a soft smile.
Naruto just continues on to bed with a smile plastered on his face.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
The next two weeks just seemed to fly by for the two of them. Every day flowed into the next, and with every passing day, the two become stronger and closer. For Naruto, it was the happiest time of his life.
Every morning started the same for the two of them. Their run came first to begin their training for the day. Following the training schedule to master their special abilities was next; then meeting Iruka to help with their basics and jutsu. Training with the Hyuuga in the afternoon in Juuken and helping Hinata before his chores came last, and of course, Kira and Hinata always spent the next few hours just talking with each other. The Kage Bunshin were always working as well.
This was exactly how Naruto and Kira spent their next two weeks of training, right up until the day of the team selections and their meeting with the Hokage to update him on their skills.
What really surprised Naruto over the last two weeks was Kira's training in Kitsune Bi. Even though Kira had said that it was one of the three main abilities of a Kitsune, along with the doujutsu and Alter, Naruto had never thought of it as anything until she had taught him the first technique for it. The basic Kitsune Bi turned out to be an entire fighting style when used properly.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
(A few days earlier…)
Naruto had just mastered forming a basic burst of Kitsune Bi, from not only Kira's youki, but by extracting the small amount of youki in his own chakra as well. He was rather disappointed though. When using Kira's youki, it took him less than a minute to form a burst, but out of his own energy, he was still over SIX minutes to gather enough. A few seconds was too long in the shinobi world but minutes? You were just asking to get killed…
"Kira-chan, what good is foxfire if it takes this much time to form a sphere? It would be rather useless as far as I can see…" whined Naruto in a child like voice.
After a soft giggle from Kira, she said, "Well, I have to agree with you on that, Naruto-kun. Six minutes to form a shot would be rather useless. As far as I can see, your system can only circulate that much youki in that time. You have mastered collecting it superbly…it's just that the youki isn't there to collect, but don't worry! The youki in your system will only increase from here on, so it will get easier. Like this…"
Kira then raises her right hand and points her index finger as if she was aiming at something. In an instant, her claw extended out and began to glow a fierce red before a sphere or crimson fire the size of a volleyball shot out and nearly destroyed a nearby tree. Naruto was just in awe of the display. When he went to check the tree, he noticed that the bark, as well as a large part of the tree itself, had been incinerated by the blast. The wood was a deep black and still hot to the touch, but nearly smooth with only a few rough spots. When he turned back to Kira she said,
"This Naruto-kun is the first technique for Kitsune Bi…Furea-tama (Flare Shot). It works by focusing a burst of Kitsune bi into your finger and then, by forcing it into your claw, it builds pressure; then when you release your hold on it…well, you see the effect. Eventually, you can learn to do this from multiple spots on your body after enough time. Your fingers, fists, palms, feet, arms, legs, fur, mouth…whatever you can think of, as long as you can focus it there and force it out with enough force."
Naruto, while still looking over the damage the tree received, had to just think, "This would be very useful, but as it is now, five whole minutes minimum to create one shot…I guess I will have to wait…"
"No, you won't, Naruto-kun," said Kira, which made Naruto jump. "You forgot that I can hear your thoughts, didn't you?" asked Kira with a sigh, "Well, anyways, after our first training session with Kitsune Bi, I decided to work on something special, and it's about time I let you use it!"
As Naruto looked on confused as to what Kira meant, she snapped her fingers, and to Naruto's surprise, his seals began to flare up as if on fire! At first, they began to glow a fierce red, then after a moment a shadowed blue, and then red again. As Naruto looked over his seals in interest, they began flashing faster and faster until they finally settled out in a light purple color.
"Kira-chan, what did you just do?" asked Naruto as his seals began to slowly fade.
"Well…I thought that an attack that took so long was rather useless, soooo I used a side effect of my seals being placed to an advantage!"
"…Side effect? What kind of advantage?"
"Well, as you know, I said that the seals I placed are for me to send youki to you in emergencies, and then have your system absorb whatever was left so you could grow accustomed to it, correct?" With Naruto's solid nod, she continued, "Well, it seems that ever since I placed them, they have constantly been taking small amounts of my youki and the youki your body has begun to produce and stored it. At first, I just thought it was doing this in order to re-absorb it once again…like a flood control on a canal. Allowing it to overflow into another pool until the regular one was low enough…or in your case BIG enough to let it flow back but after seeing the problem that you have been having, I decided to alter the seals to do that on purpose! And keep the extra pool full!"
Naruto had a confused look on his face as he scratched the back of his head and asked, "And how is that an advantage again?"
"I made you an artificial chakra pool! You now have a small orb of pure youki that has been gathered from the supply your body makes for yourself now instead of having to rely on mine! It isn't anywhere near as potent as mine so there's no danger in using it as you like, but for now, you can only store enough for three shots with the Furea-tama a day! I have also set it up that whenever you sleep, it will rejuvenate your reserves quicker."
"…COOL! So I can actually use the foxfire now? This is great…wait, you said only three shots? How many can you fire in a day?"
"Me? As long as I have youki, I can use them. Remember, the only reason you can't yet is because you have so little on hand. As the amount your body creates increases, so will your number of shots because your stored amount will build up along with it."
"That's cool…I guess I'll have to mess around with this some more. Will my seals always glow when I use foxfire?"
"No, only when they normally would. The seals only collect the youki. They have nothing to do with it when you use it. For right now, the Kitsune Bi and Furea-tama are the only techniques you have enough stores for. When you build it up more, I'll teach you others."
"Looks like I have a new toy!" finished Naruto as he formed a sphere of purple fire in his hand.
"He can already tell the difference between his chakra, and the orb I created? Just how far can you go, Naruto?"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
(In the Sandaime Hokage's office)
"Well Naruto-kun, it seems that the last two weeks has been very good to you and Kira. I have been getting very good reports from Iruka about your progress, but he could only comment on what he has seen. As the Hokage, I need to understand how far you have come with your Kage Bunshin helping the two of you train. I will promise you now that anything you tell me will remain with me unless it is absolutely necessary for me to disclose it to others." said the Sandaime using his Hokage voice.
Both Naruto and Kira look at each other for a moment, then looked at the Sandaime again and nodded that they agreed.
"How do you want us to report about our training and what we have learned so far, Ji-san?" asked Naruto.
"I would like you to go one at a time and explain your skills by Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, your special abilities, what chakra control exercises you've completed and anything else you think would be useful for me to know."
After thinking for a moment, Kira said, "Alright, I'll go first then. I found that the Juuken style of Taijutsu just wasn't right for me, so I created one for myself by combining the Juuken's flowing movements, my foxfire, and the medical knowledge I learned with Naruto-kun. It mainly focuses on external burning damage, attacking nerve clusters, major muscle groups, and pressure points. I did this mainly because I lack the exact control for Juuken or a Chakra no Enjintou requires. My youki just can't be focused that precisely, so I found a way around that."
"My ability to cancel Genjutsu is Chunin level by what Iruka said, and for the same reason that I can't use Juuken, I can't cast human Genjutsu. I have learned all the same Jutsu as Naruto-kun except for the medical ones. I have completed the tree-climbing exercise, leaf exercises, and balancing the piece of grass in my hand; but that's as far as I could get in control before my youki stopped me. As you know, my senses and body are already under control. As for our doujutsu, I'll let Naruto-kun explain it to you." finished Kira.
"That is very impressive, Kira. To create your own style, even with a basis on another, is very difficult. I would love to see a demonstration later. As for your control difficulties, there isn't much I can do about it. Youki is an unknown in the ninja world, so I'm afraid that you are on your own for that, but if you need any help, just let me know." said the Sandaime.
Kira had a thoughtful look for a moment before she asked, "Actually, Sandaime-sama, I wanted to know if you could provide me with some Suiton and Doton jutsu?"
"Hmm, in the report I received last week on your progress, Iruka reported that the two of you refused to learn any elemental jutsu. The report said you couldn't because of the unique properties of youki being aligned to the elements?" asked the Third.
After taking a moment to think about how to word this, Kira said, "I declined then because I wanted to ensure that nothing about my aligned elements had changed. I am still a demon of earth and water, whether or not I'm in a human form. Naruto-kun still has a long way to go until his elements are decided. The only one we are sure of at the moments is wind. So we decided it would be better for him to wait until later to learn any elemental jutsu. It would be rather pointless to spend the time learning a jutsu, just to find out it's useless a few months later."
"Hmm, wind…just like his father…Alright Kira, here is a scroll of Doton jutsu and here is one on Suiton jutsu. I don't believe I need to tell you to master the lower-level jutsu in those scrolls before moving on to the higher-level ones?" asked the Sandaime.
"Of course not, Sandaime-sama, and thank you for the jutsu." said Kira.
"Oh, before I forget, here is your Leaf hitai-ate, Kira," said the Third as he handed her a forehead protector.
"You're giving me a symbol of the Leaf? Don't you think that's a little off?" asked a confused Kira.
"You are living in the Hidden Leaf village, being trained by 2 Leaf shinobi, are living with the child of a village hero and are answering to the Hokage. If you are not a member of the Leaf, then I really must be getting senile." stated the Third with a smirk.
"That may be true, but I have no intension of leaving Naruto-kun's side. So I must decline your offer. The chances of me having to leave him for a mission are just too high to risk. If you ever need me, I'm always here, but I will not put myself at the mercy of the council." stated Kira in all seriousness.
"Well, you do realize that without being a licensed shinobi, you will not be able to accompany him on missions?"
"And if I'm not a shinobi, you have no right to stop me from following him either."
The Third could only scowl "It's easy to forget that you're dealing with a 7000 year-old being when you're talking to Kira. Very well, you win for now, but know that this is always waiting for you Kira," said the Third, holding up her license and forehead protector.
Naruto just stayed quiet through the whole exchange. Out of all the changes that had taken place over the last two weeks, Naruto's patience and focus have been the most drastic. His Juuken training has given him patience, while his contact with Kira and her constant riddles have given him clarity of mind. At least when he focuses on the problem, but whenever Kira starts being playful, any and all cognitive thought escapes him…and anyone in viewing distance.
"Well, I guess that settles that, huh Kira-chan?" asked Naruto.
"I suppose it does, Naruto-kun…it's your turn now." said Kira.
"Yes, I am most interested in hearing how far you have come in your medical training, Naruto," stated the Sandaime.
"Hiashi-san says that my Jyuuken is coming along perfectly. I have already mastered the chakra manipulation for the attacks. My medical training helped greatly with that. I have also mastered 10 out of the 21 kata of the Jyuuken style. Hiashi-san believes that I could have the last 11 mastered within the next two months."
"My Genjutsu is at the same level as Kira-chan's for the most part, in the sense that I can cancel them at a Chunin level, but even with my control I still can't seem to use them very well except for the Kokuangyou no Jutsu. I just think Genjutsu aren't for kitsune. As for jutsu I have mastered:
(D-rank):
Bunshin no Jutsu,
Henge no Jutsu
Kawarimi no Jutsu
Kage Shuriken no Jutsu,
(B-rank):
Ninpo: Dokugiri
Kage Bunshin,
Shuriken Kage Bunshin,
(A-rank):
Kuchiyose no Jutsu,
Kokuangyou no Jutsu,
Bakuretsu Kage Bunshin." Finished Naruto as he sat back to listen to his grandfather figures views.
"I see you completely skipped learning any C-ranked…even so that is quite the jutsu library for a Genin. Four D-rank jutsu, one B-rank, two B-rank Kinjutsu, one A-rank Kinjutsu, and two A-rank jutsu. One of which most Jounin can't even perform correctly. I would say you are doing fine. Especially considering that you didn't mention any of the jutsu from the medical scrolls," commented the Sandaime with a glint in his eye.
"This morning, I also applied for my medic license, and now I'm waiting to hear back if I passed or not," said Naruto.
"Actually, Naruto, I just received the paper work on that a moment ago," replied the Third.
"Really? How did he do?" asked Kira, obviously worried.
Naruto just listened on carefully, seeming to be the calmest he could be, but on the inside he was screaming to know if he had passed. "I won't disgrace my mother's memory by making a scene over this…but I still want to pass!"
"Well Naruto you…passed." said the Third.
"I-I really passed? I passed my license exam…YES!" Hearing this, Naruto and Kira couldn't help but to jump into each other's arms and share in a deep kiss that caught the elderly man by surprise and nearly had him on the floor.
Composing himself, the Sandaime said, "Yes, you did Naruto. The examiners were very impressed with you. You passed and were awarded a 3rd-class field license. Your knowledge and the practical skills you displayed warranted a 1st-class license, but because of your young age and lack of experience in the field of being a medic or a shinobi, you were restricted to a 3rd-class. They also said that your knowledge of diseases and more serious operations was limited. You will be required to work in the hospital for five hours a day, four days a week when not out of the village to maintain your license. You will receive pay for this, of course. I hope it was okay, but I scheduled you to start the day after tomorrow on the bird shift. That shift is 9:00pm to 2:00am. I thought it would work well for you."
"That's just great, Ji-san! I can't wait to start!" said Naruto with excitement and the old hyperness shining through.
"I'm glad that you're happy about it. Well, here is your medic license, as well as your shinobi license. Now, you need to finish your report. You need to be at the team assignments in an hour."
"Alright, I guess I can skip the medic report, so the special abilities I have mastered are my senses, the workings and needs of this new body…well I guess that really didn't need to be reported but yah…umm, my foxfire to a point, and I'm just starting to work on my doujutsu. I don't want to explain it because it would take too long, so I just wrote down it's abilities on this scroll for you, as well as all my other changes and even my history to this point. I just thought you would like a copy of everything. It also saves me from having to explain any of this again. Other than that, I'm done with my report," said Naruto with a fox grin in place.
"Well, I'm very impressed with the both of you. I can only say that I will be here for you when you need me, be it questions or help in your training. I have instructed my secretary to always let you in."
"Actually Sandaime-sama, I wanted to know if you know anyone who can teach me and Naruto-kun Kenjutsu?" asked Kira.
Both Naruto and the Third looked at her strangely for a moment.
"Why would the two of you need to learn Kenjutsu?" asked the Sandaime.
"Well, it's always good to know other things…I also just wanted something to take up Naruto-kun's spare time," said Kira
"What do you think Naruto? Would you like to learn Kenjutsu also? Your schedule is going to be rather busy still. Most teams meet around 7:00am and are together until 2:00 or 3:00pm, and I'm sure Hiashi is waiting to hear your new schedule so he can plan out your Jyuuken training. Also, don't forget you still will be working in the hospital from 9:00pm-2:00am."
"If Kira-chan thinks I should, then of course. So do you think you could get me a sensei once I get my time all straightened out?" asked Naruto.
"Of course, I have the perfect sensei in mind. He is a master of the Konoha shadow-sword style. It should be perfect for you. His name is Gekkou Hayate. He is young for a Jounin, but is very skilled. I will be seeing him later today and will ask if he is willing to teach you. Just come by tomorrow once your sensei has told you your schedule so we can set up your training time."
Both Naruto and Kira bow politely and say their goodbyes before leaving for the academy.
"Well, what do you think of them Hayate?" asked the Sandaime to the man hiding in the shadows of the room.
"He certainly reminds me of his father, Hokage-sama. His father may not have finished my training with the sword, but he was the one to begin it and give me the scrolls for it with this very sword. The least I can do to repay the man is to train his son," said a slightly sickly-looking man that emerged from the shadows. He wore the customary Jounin uniform, had mid-length brown hair, wore a bandana over his head with the Leaf symbol and a sword on his back.
"That's good; I would have hated to have ordered you to do it. I will send you the training time tomorrow. You can leave now to prepare." said the Hokage.
"Hai, Hokage-sama…"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
The Ninja academy was just as busy as any other day, but today was just a little more tense. Every person here has been waiting for nearly two weeks to get their team, and today was the day. Iruka's class was full. Twenty-four of the original graduates were there and waiting for the class to begin and their fate to be determined.
As the door slid open, the boys in the room were privy to the entry of a goddess. Her hair was a beautiful silky orange-red color that went down to her mid thigh; her pale red eyes looked upon them silently as she walked in. She wore a fishnet shirt with a black cloth wrapped around her chest underneath that showed her smooth stomach well. Covering the shirt is a blood-red flank jacket with black trim. She also wore a pair of black short shorts with a red skirt around them. Her legs were covered with what looked like black stockings that disappeared into normal black shinobi sandals and wore the standard shinobi equipment. Lastly, she wore what almost looked like a black choker covered with kanji. She was just gorgeous.
Following right behind her is a boy that wore black ANBU-style pants that disappeared into black sandals. His upper half was covered by a black t-shirt tucked into his pants and a dark blue flank jacket with black trim. He wore black fingerless gloves with metal on the back and each knuckle. His hair was a spiky dark blonde color with ebony roots and crimson tips that was tied into a lose ponytail that fell in between his shoulder blades. He had bright blue eyes and three thin whisker marks per cheek. Lastly, he wore a shuriken holster on his right thigh, an equipment pouch on his back right hip, a black scroll case on his left thigh, a Konoha hitai-ate on his forehead and black bands on his wrists and ankles.
Every boy and girl in the room was eyeing one of the two. Some of the more daring boys even shouted catcalls at Kira only to receive death glares from Naruto.
Leaning in, Kira gives Naruto a quick peck on the cheek before saying. "I'll see you later Naruto-kun. Don't do anything too rash now."
"I'll see you later, Kira-chan." said Naruto as Kira disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Most assumed she left like most high-level shinobi, but she had actually just returned to the seal.
Before, the world of the seal was a dirty, dark sewer. Now, with Kira by Naruto's side, it had become the inside of a well-furnished study and library. The walls were a dark polished wood and the floor was of an exquisite dark marble. The walls were covered in bookshelves that contained all of Naruto's knowledge. The books contained his training, jutsu, and even his memories of darker times. The room had a giant fireplace and exquisite armchairs and couches. It also had a giant window on one side to see through Naruto's eyes. Naruto had even created a door for Kira to summon herself if required, but that took nearly 10 times the normal amount of chakra needed because of the seal itself, which incidentally was enough for 120 Kage Bunshin, so it was really only for emergencies since even for Naruto that was about a 3rd of his chakra.
"If it's alright with you, Naruto-kun, I'm going to catch up on some sleep. Just wake me up if you need me, ok?" said Kira.
"I'll be fine, Kira-chan; just enjoy yourself. Now that the Kage Bunshin training is over, why don't you take the next two or three days off? We can get back to our training once I know what my sensei is like."
"That sounds great, Naruto-kun…" said Kira just before she passed out on the couch in the mindscape.
"The training was really hard on you wasn't it…I'll take it from here, Kira-chan." thought Naruto as he began to head for his seat.
"What are you doing here, Naruto? You DO know that this is for graduates only, right?" asked the ever-lazy Shikamaru.
"Yeah, dobe, and how did you land such a babe?" "Bark!" was the comment from the brash Kiba and his dog Akamaru.
In a flat tone that surprises everyone "If you are that inattentive to detail, maybe you are the ones that should have failed." said Naruto while tapping his hitai-ate with his finger. "Also, who and how I meet Kira-chan is none of your business."
Kiba just growled and Shikamaru said "You're just too mendokuse (troublesome), Naruto…"
Naruto just gave a smirk and headed for a seat next to Sasuke. On his way, he noticed Hinata sitting a few levels up, so he called up to her. "Morning Hinata, how was your training with Hiashi-san yesterday?"
In the same soft and gentle voice Naruto had come to know, Hinata said "It was fine, Naruto-kun. Father said that I should be ready for advanced training in a month or so."
Everyone in class was just shocked. Not only had the weakling Hyuuga heiress just spoke without her stutter, but she had also just spoken to the boy that everyone knew she would faint around just by of the mere thought of.
"That's great! I hope we get on the same team. Kira-chan would just love that. I'll see you later, ok?" said Naruto with his fox grin in full bloom. He then took his seat next to Sasuke, much to the brooder's dismay.
The rest of the wait was uneventful until the arrival of the pink banshee and the blonde psycho. Everyone just turned their heads to watch the foolish display from the foaming fan-girls. Naruto just took to ignoring them and was enjoying the downtime from training after being pushed to his limits over the last few weeks. That was, until he was ripped out of his pleasant state of mind by the booming shriek from Sakura. "MOVE, NARUTO-NO-BAKA! I WANT TO SIT NEXT TO SASUKE-KUN!"
After Naruto had used his pinky to clear out his ear, he noticed the slight flinch from the brooding Uchiha. "Well, it seems that Sasuke doesn't want you sitting here, and I really don't feel like moving, so you can find another seat, Sakura-san," said Naruto in a board tone. Sasuke, for his part, was just praying silently that it would work.
Sakura was red from head to toe with rage. "Naruto-no-baka, you can't stand in the way of true love just because no decent girl would want a loser like you!" That was the last straw for Naruto. Insult him, ok; insult Kira indirectly or not…and you're dead.
Releasing his chakra suppression, Naruto's features became more feral. His whisker marks widened as well as darkened. The ebony and crimson highlights in his hair extended as his hair became even more untamed. Everyone heard the slicing sound of flesh as his canines and claws extended. His chakra level rose so much so quickly that everyone in the room could literally feel his power and rage pressing down on them. Some of the weaker kunoichi such as Sakura were rooted to their spot trying to catch their breath.
Many in the room were going with the same thought, "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?" as they put their backs to a wall.
Sasuke was just smirking at his long-time rival. "So he's gotten even stronger then before…I wonder what these changes are? Does the dobe have a Kekkai Genkai? This is even better…he may never be able to surpass an Uchiha, but the stronger he is, the better I can test myself."
"Haruno, that is enough…get it through your head that you don't have the right to tell me or anyone else what to do. If you want to sit next to Sasuke-teme, then just ask if you can sit on the other side of him, if you're not too retarded to notice there is a seat on his right…also, if you ever insult my Kira-chan like that again, I'll make sure that you have a most horrible accident in a training spar. Do I make myself clear?" asked Naruto in a rage-filled tone that everyone could tell was just barely in check.
Before everyone's eyes, Naruto's features return to normal, and the pressure in the room disappears with them. Sakura just scampers over to the other side of Sasuke, as if he was going to protect her. "What was that just now, Dobe? You went from your normal baka self to an animal." inquired Sasuke in his brooding tone and posture.
"I defiantly don't want to tell them the truth. I guess a half-truth is better. I hope they believe this horseshit. It's a Kekkai Genkai that I recently activated. It changed my chakra into a denser and more powerful form. The cosmetic changes and a few other abilities are just bonuses." said Naruto with a smirk.
Most of the class took this pretty easily enough, since no one really knew anything about Naruto, so they couldn't argue. The only ones that thought more to it were Kiba, Shino, Hinata, Sasuke, and Shikamaru.
"Akamaru, what did you get from the chakra he let out?" asked Kiba "It was strong and he smells like a fox, but I don't know what these other scents are." barked Akamaru.
Shino only knew that his insects were uneasy being near Naruto. Hinata already knew the extent of Naruto's powers from Kira. The only thing that Naruto and Kira wouldn't tell her is how he had them. She was hurt that they wouldn't tell her, but she knew she still had a ways to go yet. "I will get there, Naruto-kun…I'll prove to Kira-neechan that I'm strong enough soon…"
"This guy is just too mendokuse for his own good. I have never heard of a bloodline like that and the pressure from that chakra…the last time I felt something like that was when dad used killing intent in one of our spars. It was the same pressure, but there was no intent to kill in it…was it just his instinct that did it? It's just too confusing; I'm taking a nap," thought Shikamaru.
"So I was right…the dobe does have a bloodline. He is still no match for me, but at least he would be of more use to me as a teammate then most of these weaklings. He would at least not hold me back." thought Sasuke, not losing his brooding exterior.
Iruka then walks through the door and begins to explain the reasons for teams and other things until Sakura speaks up. "Iruka-sensei, why is Naruto-no-baka here? He failed, so you should make him leave."
Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata and Iruka all glare at the girl for the stupid remark until Iruka speaks. "Sakura, Naruto's failure was a mistake, and it was rectified by the Sandaime, so if you are saying that there was a mistake in him passing, then you are saying that Hokage-sama made it. Now sit down so I can call the teams."
Sakura just sits down quietly thinking. "What's going on today? It's as if the world's against me and it all started with Naruto. Cha! Yeah, pound that baka!"
"Alright everyone, team one…" called Iruka.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Later, most of the teams had been called and have already begun to talk to each other.
"Next team seven…Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura…" hearing this both Naruto and Sakura slam their heads on the desk saying "WHY HIM/HER?"
"And…Uchiha Sasuke. Your instructor is Hatake Kakashi" Naruto and Sasuke smirk at each other as if saying 'better than anyone else' Sakura just made a victory sign at all the girls in class until she stood and asked. "Sensei, why is Naruto-no-baka being paired with me and Sasuke-kun? Sasuke-kun is the rookie of the year, and I received the highest academic scores, so why?"
With a deep sigh from several in the class Iruka says, "All the teams are made to balance skills and abilities so every member covers for the others shortcomings. You see, in your team's case, Sasuke has all-around level skills and is only lacking experience to become an excellent shinobi, while you, Sakura, are lacking in physical power and just about everything other than having ample mental faculties. Naruto, on the other hand, has the highest stamina, speed, and chakra capacity of the class, but lacks the skills gained from extensive training. In other words, Sasuke is the fighter, you're the brains, and Naruto is the muscle. Or at least that is what the idea originally was when the teams were decided. Now that Naruto has activated his bloodline and received other training, we aren't sure where he's best suited, so we just decided to leave him where he is. Now that ANOTHER INTERRUPTION IS DONE, let's finish the team assignments so I can dismiss you for lunch."
"Team 8: Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuuga Hinata, and Aburame Shino; your instructor is Yuuki Kurenai."
"Team 9 is still in circulation from last year…"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
In the Sandaime's office the Jounin-sensei have been watching their perspective students with the crystal ball since they had entered the classroom. Many were comparing their teams and trying to figure out the best way to test them.
"So that is the last Uchiha, huh…Most promising new shinobi of this year. He seems rather interesting," said Kakashi.
Just then, Naruto and Kira walk through the door and catch the eye of every male Jounin. One nameless Jounin just commented "A Genin should not look that good!" he said, referring to Kira. This earned him multiple death-glares from the kunoichi in the room.
"That boy she's with is the Kyuubi's container, is he not?" asked Kurenai.
"It looks like it, but he sure has changed; and who would have thought that the gorgeous kunoichi was his girl?" said the smoking Jounin when Kira kissed Naruto, just before leaving in a puff of smoke.
"That she is, and I would advise that you all keep your opinions about her to yourself. If there is one way to get on Naruto's bad side, it's through Kira," said the Sandaime.
All the Jounin in the room just nod at the Hokage's advice. Any jinchuuriki, even a Genin one, is a lot more than anyone wants mad at them.
Just then, Kurenai sees the interaction between Naruto and Hinata and raises an eyebrow. "That can't be the same girl I saw a few weeks ago…she just spoke without a stutter. Her voice was even heard that far away! What happened in the last few weeks and what was that about her father training her again...that must be it! That teme finally realized how foolish he has been. Good for you, Hinata." thought the red-eyed Jounin. If only Kurenai knew the true reason for the girl's change. (DF: PORN RULES ALL!) (RoK:…Was that really necessary?) (DF: YES!)
"Hmm, a fan-girl huh…don't those ever die?" asked Kakashi, after seeing Sakura begin to yell at Naruto.
Just then, they all hear what she says and the Third just says, "Oh no…well, you are all about to see why Kira is off limits."
The occupants of the room are just dumbstruck by the power Naruto unleashed. They all paid close attention to his changes and the way he returned to normal.
"That was interesting…I'll have to remember that the girl is off-limits if I ever run into the kid." said Asuma while taking another drag off his cigarette.
The Sandaime then shuts off the ball and turns to his Jounin. "As you all know, you have a little over an hour before you meet your teams. I suggest you get ready."
"Hai, Hokage-sama." was the unanimous cry from the assembled Jounin.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
(Back in the classroom)
Iruka was just finishing up calling the teams.
"Finally, team 10 is Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akamichi Choji. Your Jounin instructor is Sarutobi Asuma. I advise you all to use this time to get to know each other better, because these teams are going to be together for some time. You are all dismissed.
As the teams were leaving, Naruto walked up to Sasuke and simply said. "Let's talk. Lunch is on me at the stand around the corner." Sasuke just grunted in reply and headed out the door. Sakura was still sitting in her seat, so Naruto called "Haruno, are you coming or what?" Sakura just looks up confused, but when she saw the annoyed look in Naruto's eye, she just stood and ran out the door.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
At the tea stand across from the academy, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were just sitting in silence. "Damn, this sucks…I guess I'll have to begin. Look…" said Naruto, gaining his team mates attention, "I know that we have some problems with each other and we have never really been the best of friends; but until we become Chuunin, get killed, or quit, we are stuck together, so we may as well try to get along and learn from each other like Iruka-sensei said." Naruto paused for a moment to let this sink in. "I need skills and strategy, Sasuke need experience, and Sakura needs physical training. We all have something to learn from each other, so we may as well try."
"I don't think that Sasuke-kun can learn anything from you, baka, but I do need training and Kami knows you need a brain." was Sakura's stinging remark.
"I understand what you're saying, Dobe, but it sounds like you have an idea floating around in that head of yours, so why not just spit it out already?" said Sasuke.
"Nothing gets past you, Sasuke. We don't have to be friends or even like each other to be a team. All we have to do is work together to attain our goals and grow stronger. So I suggest that we each pick something to focus on like Nin, Gen, or Tai jutsu. We all focus on learning one jutsu or move to teach each other every couple weeks. I thought that Sasuke could focus on Ninjutsu, Sakura Genjutsu, I could learn Taijutsu and anything that I find interesting or useful. This way we all get balanced skills and don't have to strain too much to learn. What do you guys think?"
"That actually sounds good, dobe. I can't believe that you came up with the idea, but what if one of us learns a jutsu they don't want to share? I am learning the Uchiha secret jutsu, after all, and I have no intension of sharing them with a dobe or fan-girl." commented Sasuke.
Sakura could only look down; thinking "Is that all Sasuke sees me as?"
"Well, every ninja has their secrets and we're no different. If there's something you don't want to share, then don't. All I ask is that when the two weeks come around, that you have something to share. That way we all advance at a steady pace, and to prove that I mean it; here is a scroll with a jutsu for the both of you. It's only a D-rank, but it's very useful Kage shuriken no jutsu. Well, that's all I wanted to say to you two. I'll see you back in class." Naruto then pays for their meals and leaves.
"Maybe this team won't be the burden I thought it would be," said Sasuke while pocketing the scroll.
While looking down at the scroll in her hand, Sakura couldn't help but to think, "What happened to the baka? He isn't anything like he used to be. Even Sasuke-kun seems to like him now. Maybe I should be nicer to him…"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Later that day Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were still in the room waiting for their sensei to arrive. At first, the three remained quiet, but eventually the boys had taken to practicing the new jutsu with each other with Sakura trying every once in a while as well. After working at that for a while, Naruto had pulled out a travel shogi board and had challenged his teammates to a game. Surprisingly, Sasuke and Naruto were evenly matched at the game, just as with many other things. Sakura, on the other hand, was whipping the floor with the boys.
Two hours later, all three were nearly clawing their eyes out from the boredom.
"I can't believe this guy is this late…maybe we should play a little prank to teach him a lesson?" asked Naruto.
Before either of his teammates could answer, they hear the sound of someone coming down the hall. All three turn their attention to the door as it slid open to reveal a man that was the classic definition of a Jounin shinobi. The only distinguishing features about the man is his spiky grey hair that stood straight up, his hitai-ate covering his left eye and a mask covering his neck and face.
The man took a moment to scan the room before asking. "Is this team seven?" After getting a nod, he continued. "Well, my first impression of you is…you're all very interesting, but not in a good way. Meet me on the roof in ten minutes." All three of the kids just sweat-drop from the man's comment.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
(On the roof…not even five minutes later)
Kakashi was leaning on the railing, legs crossed and hands stuffed into his pockets. He was very relaxed "All right you three. Let's start with some basic introductions. You know your likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future…and anything else you want to add."
Naruto shrugged, throwing Kakashi an evil grin/borderline smirk "You first, sensei. You are the unknown here after all."
In a perfect imitation of Naruto, Kakashi shrugged "My name is Hatake Kakashi. My likes and dislikes are none of your business, dreams for the future? Hmm…Well, I have a lot of hobbies."
Sasuke and Sakura stared at him blankly, clearly expecting more but not getting any so Sakura asked, "That's it? That's all we get."
Shrugging again, Kakashi pointed at Naruto, "Your turn, blondie."
Naruto rolled his shoulders back and heard a satisfying crack "Name's Uzumaki Naruto. I love my Kira-chan, like Ramen, and learning new things. I dislike pompous asses that have a stick shoved up their asses." here he threw a glance at Sasuke with a smirk. Sakura glared and Sasuke only smirked in return. "I also dislike the majority of the Hyuuga clan and the three minutes it takes to cook ramen. My dreams are to become the strongest ninja in the world, gain the title of Hokage, and follow in my mother's footsteps to become a medic-nin…I also…"
Naruto's mood noticeably takes a darker turn, and everyone gives a slight shiver because when he begins to speak again, it sounds nothing short of demonic. "I also have another…I guess you couldn't call it a dream. There is a man that took my family from me the day I was born by tricking another. I will kill him in the most painful way I can imagine, and ensure that he can't ever do it to anyone else…"
Sasuke shot him a confused glare while thinking. "So that's why he's so strong…he too is an avenger, but if that's true, how can he be the way he is? He is always happy and almost always looks to others…I will see…" Naruto just ignored the glare and looked at the clouds.
Sakura just thought. "Naruto just got way too creepy…"
"Well, THAT was unexpected. Who was his mother, and who is this person he blames for the Kyuubi's attack? I need to look into this." Kakashi pointed to the female of the group "Your turn now pinky."
Sakura beamed "My name is Haruno Sakura. I like…" she tossed a glance at Sasuke, then giggled and blushed. "I dislike Naruto and Ino-pig! My dream for the future…" She shot another glance at Sasuke, blushed then squealed. Kakashi took this as the sign to move on.
"Your turn, brooding one." he said, pointing to the resident Uchiha.
Sasuke gave his patented death-glare, and then sighed exasperatedly "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I have few likes, and very many dislikes, too many to list, one of which is ALL my fan-girls. Training if you can consider that a hobby and…" he paused "I don't want to call it a dream; it's more of an ambition. To restore my clan and, like Naruto, to kill a certain man for ruining my life."
"Sasuke-kun is so cool!" thought Sakura.
"I should have expected as much…an avenger. So I have a fan-girl, a brooding avenger, and a jinchuuriki that is possible unstable…" Kakashi stood still for a moment, then seeing they were done, stood from the railing "All right, we'll begin our duties tomorrow with some survival training, just the four of us."
"But…Sensei" Sakura said, looking unsure of herself. "We already did plenty of that at the Academy."
Kakashi leaned against the railing again while chucking. His voice had an 'I know something you don't know' tone to it "You guys are gonna flip when you hear this. You see, the academy graduation test is just to see if you have what it takes to be Genin. The real test is administered by us Jounin-sensei." Kakashi leered at the newly formed team seven with an evil gleam in his visible eye "And that test has a failure rate of 66.6 percent." He turned, taking a small moment to joy from the looks of shock, anger, and fear on their faces "Meet me at training field seven tomorrow at 5:00am. Bring your ninja gear." He then began to leave, but just before he disappeared into smoke, he turned and said. "And don't eat breakfast; you'll just puke it up anyway." With that, the Cyclops was gone.
After the three just sat there for a moment processing what they had just heard, Naruto tuned and asked. "What do you think, Sasuke?"
"I'm not sure, but all we can do is show up tomorrow and find out."
"What about the not eating breakfast part?" asked Sakura in an annoyed tone.
"A fool goes into battle on a full stomach, but a complete idiot goes in starving. I say we meet sensei halfway and eat something small. Besides, he didn't order us; he only suggested it." said Naruto.
"That actually makes sense dobe. What do you think this test is going to be on?" asked Sasuke.
"He said survival, so I would say carry whatever you would on a mission. I just hope this is testing our skills and not putting us up against a Jounin." said Naruto, looking down.
Sakura just looked confused for a moment. "Why would you say something like that? With Sasuke-kun here, we can't fail."
"The gap of power between the shinobi ranks is almost ridiculous. Even all three of us against a Jounin are unlikely to prevail…I'm just brainstorming here. We won't know until tomorrow."
Sasuke just gives his classic grunt and heads off saying nothing, Sakura right behind him.
"Well, this sucks…"
"Yes it does, Naruto-kun. All you can do now is wait for tomorrow to come and do your best."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
There you are. Also, I will repost a list of the jutsu and what they do every few chapters just so you all know and don't lose track!
Chakra no Enjintou- is basically the chakra scalpel. It is a small two-inch blade of chakra meant to be used for surgery without breaking the skin. Very precise control is needed for this. ?-rank med-jutsu
Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone) D-rank: Creates an exact illusionary copy of the user.
Henge no Jutsu (Transformation) D-rank: Transforms the user into the shape of another organism or object. The user's basic physical functions still remain the same, and they do not gain the in born abilities of the new form EX: a bird form will not allow the user to fly.
Kawarimi no Jutsu (Replacement) D-rank: Replaces the user with another object in the vicinity that is close to or is the same relative size.
Kage Shuriken no Jutsu (Shadow Shuriken) D-rank: Uses chakra to attach a second shuriken to the first, causing the second to hide in the shadow of the first with a simple illusion to surprise an enemy.
Oiroke no Jutsu (Sexy) D-rank Kinjutsu: Original jutsu created by Naruto. Naruto changes into the form of a beautiful NUDE blonde girl. The effects on the male populous are obvious.
Harem no Jutsu (Harem) C-rank Kinjutsu: Combining a gathering of Kage Bunshin and his own Oiroke no Jutsu, Naruto creates and a crowd of naked females…
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone) B-rank Kinjutsu: Creates solid clones of the user. It takes great amounts of chakra to use. The clones are nearly perfect copies of the user, and can use various jutsu of the creator. The only major difference between the original and the clones is the limit of chakra.
Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone) B-rank Kinjutsu: Creates solid clones of any small object ex: Kunai & Shuriken.
Bakuretsu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Exploding Shadow Clone) A-rank Kinjutsu: Creates an exploding Kage Bunshin that can be detonated by the creators will or by being dispelled.
Ninpo: Dokugiri (Poison cloud) B-rank: Creates a cloud of purple poison that is deadly if inhaled. It streams from the ninja's mouth to ten feet away then covers an area of about 25 feet radius.
Kokuangyou no Jutsu (Bringer of Darkness) A-rank Genjutsu: Creates an illusion of complete darkness over a set area. It traps the opponent and user in absolute darkness. While inside the illusion, the senses of sight, sound, and touch are disrupted for the enemy. One may see their own body, but once trapped inside the illusion, it cannot be dispelled unless by the user or someone outside the affected area. Therefore, defending one's self is extremely hard if trapped in this jutsu.
Kitsune-Bi (Foxfire): Compressed youki that can be drawn on to create flames. It can be repeatedly used, unless it is dispersed by an attack or other use.
Furea-tama (Flare Shot): Fires a bullet made of concentrated foxfire. These shots are created over a period of time and stored. The energy is inert until used. The claws glow before firing as a clear sign of the attack. Naruto also has a limited number of shots.
Shinkirougan (Mirage eye) Doujutsu: A doujutsu that possesses abilities similar to both the Byakugan and the Sharingan. It can see the chakra flowing in the air, the chakra circulatory system (but not the tenketsus), and the aura chakra takes inside and outside the body for various uses and effects. Next, it enhances the user's eyesight to slow down the objects it sees, as well as increases the clarity of vision. It also gives the user telescopic vision up to a distance depending on the user's skill. This doujutsu also gives the user the power of suggestion and hypnosis when eye contact is made. The effectiveness of this depends on the target's willpower and mental strength. Finally, when these abilities are mixed and combined, the doujutsu is also able to predict the enemy's movements when used against Taijutsu. With training, it is also possible to predict Genjutsu and Ninjutsu with the doujutsu.
Please review and continue reading.
