Chapter 11
Naruto flew over to the contestant box where he saw Shikamaru smirking at him. "You just had to be a troublesome blond, huh?"
"Well, someone has to be." Naruto smirked. "So what did you think?"
"It certainly kept me awake." Shikamaru chuckled
"Good!" Naruto cheered while Shino eyed his former classmate.
A near god on the battlefield and in idiot in life. I do not understand you Naruto. Shino thought stoically
What is this kid? Are all Konoha shinobi this crazy and strong? Were Temari's thoughts as she eyed the blond with a slight blush making Kankuro roll his eyes.
Gaara eyed him warily. Mother is being awfully quite about you Naruto Uzumaki. Why?
XXX
Curse that boy! I will make sure he dies in the invasion! Orochimaru angrily thought in his Kazekage disguise. "I am surprised that the boy won against the Hyuuga Prodigy."
"Yes well, Naruto is full of surprises." chuckled Sarutobi, not at all surprised.
XXX
As people talked about Naruto stellar victory, Sakura slumped in her seat. Wow, Naruto's popular all of a sudden. I looks I need to work harder to catch up. She then blinked. "Hey Hinata. I noticed that one of Naruto's fires was Lavender….did he teach you that jutsu?"
"N-no." Hinata replied. "I watched you train some of the time and I picked up the hand signs and tried it for myself."
"Oh, ok then." Sakura said, a little miffed.
"Dude, that was so awesome!" Beast Boy cheered.
"Why thank you." Naruto said as he appeared behind him.
"AH! Dude! How did you do that!"
"Uh Beast Boy, we are in a ninja village." Raven drawled.
"Heh, I knew that." sweated Beast Boy.
"Awe don't worry about it BB. I am a clone, and I am glad you all liked the battle."
"Well, I certainly learned a few things." Robin said. "You were pretty resourceful."
"Yeah that was pretty good!" Cyborg stated. "My favorite part was when you guys created the multicolored flaming tornado."
"Yeah, that was so badass!" Kiba said, jumping in on the conversation.
"Thanks guys. I will let the original know." The Naruto clone said before poofing out of there.

Naruto frowned when Kankuro forfeited the match. And before Shikamaru could do the same with his own, Naruto smirked as he 'lightly' pushed Shikamaru into the ring. However, that push was powered by Naruto's super strength so the Shadow User was literally pushed half way into the area where he crashed into Temari. "Oops." Was the blond's loud reply, which got a few chuckles.
However, the perverts of Konoha were all cursing Shikamaru. For he had landed on top of the blond girl and his face was in between her breasts. Shikamaru groaned as he figured out what happened and he knew he was in trouble, but he might as well just stay there until she goes crazy about.
A tic mark appeared on Temari's brow as she noticed where Shikamaru had landed and saw red when he groaned pitifully. She grabbed his head as she quickly stood up before punting him away from her.
Genma, who had been watching in amusement, coughed to get their attention. "Well, I guess you can begin now." He said lamely before disappearing from the area.
XXX (skipping that boring ass battle)
Temari stared in shock at the lazy ninja front of her. She had been winning this fight like it was nothing. Sure there were a few close calls with this guy's shadow powers, but kept a reasonable distance from him.
However, after that weird stance he took, Shikamaru made his way to the shadow of the wall of the area. There he made his shadow combine with the wall's shadow and sent it out after her. Luckily for her, it did not reach and then he did something she did not expect. The guy used all of the shadows of the unturned rocks created by Naruto's strength and made a literal web of shadows to entrap her and finally catch her.
Shikamaru was visibly sweating. He had never done this before, being unpredictable like his blond friend was tiring and a pain in the ass. He looked at her boredly. "I thought of 200 ways to beat you but with all these shadows connecting and keeping them, like this, it is exhausting, so I give up."
"SAY WHAT!" yelled Naruto and Ino.
"So that is it?" Temari asked with a slight twitch in her eye.
"Yep." Shikamaru sighed.
"Well…if you say so." Genma said. "Temari is the winner." The crowd was surprised by this battle. It was not as good as Naruto's flashy battle but a lot of the jonin nodded their heads to the strategy of it all.
"Are you kidding!" Naruto shouted as he flew right in Shikamaru's face.
"Not everyone is a chakra monster like you Naruto." The shadow user sighed. "Besides, I wasted enough time for the Uchiha on your team to get here."
On that note, there was a swirl of leaves and the final members of Team 7 finally arrived. Kakashi took one look around the area and asked. "The hell happened here?"
"Oh that was my battle with Neji." Naruto replied nonchalantly, making a lot of people sweatdrop.
"Yeah, the rest of what Temari did with wind jutsu in our battle." droned Shikamaru.
"Oh." Kakashi said before looking at Genma, "I take it he toned down the power to not kill the Hyuuga."
"Barely." Genma stated. "That human shaped mark in the wall was where he flew into after Naruto used the Fouth's Rasengan."
Kakashi's eye widen before he shrugged it off for now. "So are we late?"
Genma rolled his eyes. "When are you not? Anyway, the Uchiha's battle is now, so get ready."
Sasuke nodded before he stared at Naruto. "I will win and then I will be you."
"We'll see." Naruto smiel innocently before he and Shikamaru walked back to the contestant box, where they ran into Gaara killing off two foreign ninja before walking passed them with out a glance.
"Gee, talk about nuts." deadpanned Naruto.
"Come on Naruto. Let's get out of here before he decides to come back!" panicked Shikamaru.
"Yeah yeah."
XXX
Meanwhile, Sasuke was staring down the crazy sand ninja. As soon as Genma said to begin, the Uchiha sent a few shurikan at Gaara, who created a sand clone to take the weapons. Sasuke made not facial expression as he used Lee's speed to run around the sand user. Gaara was looking around frantically, trying to figure out where the Uchiha would attack.
Then the Uchiha was attacking him from all directions, the sand barely protecting him. The Uchiha finally got through and Gaara had enough. So he summoned all his sand to him to form a giant circle like shell around.
Sasuke, thinking it was normal, rushed up to it to get a punch on it but was unprepared for the sand spike to jut out at him. He back flipped quickly to get away. He growled silently that he would have to use the attack Kakashi taught him so early in this fight!
XXX
As he ran up the wall to gather chakra, Kakashi was with the other Konoha ninja and the titans. Guy took a look at the stance the Uchiha was in and stared in shock at Kakashi. "Tell me you did not teach him that jutsu!"
"Oh I did! Seemed appropriate that he know that justu for this battle." Kakashi stated
"What jutsu is that?" Sakura asked.
"A blade of pure lightning." replied Guy with a shadow over his eyes. That caught the attention of Cyborg and Robin.
"Is there anything ninja can't do?" Robin asked
"Who knows." Blackfire shrugged.
Beast Boy looked to tsee that Cyborg was in deep thought. "What's up dude?"
"I wonder if I could modify my arm to create that lightning blade."
"Probably." Raven stated.
"Um, why would you need the Blade of the Lightning?" asked Starfire.
"Oh just to have for just in case." Cyborg stated. That was when they heard the sound of a thousand birds chirping.
"Whoa!" Beast Boy yelled as he saw the loud and flashy attack on the Uchiha fist.
XXX
Sasuke formed said attack and smirked. He would win this battle! "Chidori!" He yelled as he sped down the wall and ran straight for Gaara's sand shell. He easily dodged the sand spikes and plunged the Chidori into the dome of sand, cutting through it like a hot knife through butter.
For a moment, everthing went deathly silent. No one made a noise. The wind stoped and no animals were heard. Akamaru begun to shiver on Kiba's head and the boy knew that was a bad sign.
Then, there all heard a blood curling scream and the ground cracked and shook. "BLOOD! MY BLOOD!" The dome of sand exploded and mini emerged before it grabbed the Uchiha and flung him into the same spot Neji was thrown into, effectively shattering it. Then the sand exploded to reveal a mini Shukaku.
XXX
Orochimaru growled at the stupidity of the one tailed Jinchuriki. Oh well, might as well start now! He gave a sign to Kabuto to begin and people began to fall asleep except for Naruto's Konoha friends and the Titans. "Well Sarutobi, I guess it is time." The man said as he stood up."
The Hokage sighed, He knew this was going to happen but he did not expect the Kazekage to be in on this. "I suppose so Kazekage-dono."
"Oh and another thing." The fake Kazekage said as he ripped of his robes to reveal his true nature.
"Orochimaru! Where is the Kazekage?"
"Oh I have already taken care of him." Orochimaru replied deadly as they begun to battle.
XXX
Naruto jumped out onto the area floor, eyeing the chaos around him. Sound and Sand ninja were coming out nowhere and attacking his home. Luckily Kakashi and his 'eternal rival' were beating the ninja that came near them and the others. He saw that the old man had begun to battle that snake freak, Orochimaru.
However, before he ponder how to help, sand lashed out at him. Gaara was drooling at him and with a killer look in his eyes. "Mother will have your blood! Then my existence will truly be justified!"
"Oh come on, we all know you exist!" Naruto shouted back as he dodged a tendril of sand. "Ok look! I know you have had a crappy childhood like me but being a Jinchuriki that is a given."
"Shut up!" Gaara yelled as sand shot out from him and to Naruto at high speeds.
"Hey Shikamaru! I could use some help!" Naruto yelled to the shadow user back in the contestant box, who was pretending to be asleep. "OH COME ON!" He yelled as he dodged another batch of sand shurikan.
He then noticed that the Kage box was being surrounded by a strange purple box. "Crap that can't be good!" He knew he needed to get up there to help the old man since it seemed that the ANBU where not going to anything. So, thinking quickly, he eyed his friends back in the stands, Shino and Kankuro fighting, Temari observing his and Gaara's fight since Shikamaru didn't feeling like fighting and then back at the Kage box.
He looked at Gaara and decided to play a Kakashi on him while trying to get his friends' attention; he just hoped this plan worked. He ran up to Gaara with a kunai and tried to stab the red head but was batted away thanks to the sand tail. He took that to his advantage and swung around with it as he attached an exploding to it as he jammed the kunai near where the tail met the nutjob's ass.
Those who were watching, which included a now awake Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Temari, sweatdropped dropped.
"I can't believe that idiot did that!" Sasuke grumbled as he face palmed himself. Then the kunai exploded catching everyone's attention. The Uchiha blinked stupidly before falling back on his ass and chuckled at the sight of the sand flowing off Gaara. "Oh that is rich!"
Naruto took that to his advantage again and flew right up to Gaara, punching him right in the gut. Gaara doubled over in pain before Naruto followed up with an upper cut and sent to the boy into the air. Naruto sent a few clones to deal with him in the air while Naruto turned and shouted at his friends. "Starfire, Blackfire, Sakura, Hinata! We can take this guy, I have to leave a T-clone behind to help the old man!"
"Are you nuts!" Sakura screamed as she zoomed down to rattle the blond. "A stupid clone is useless against this guy!"
"Do you mean that the clone that takes more than one hit brother?" Starfire asked.
"Yeah and I will fill it with two tails worth of chakra!" Naruto said as he made said clone. "That should be enough for you guys, my clone, and Sasuke to beat Gaara."
Hinata looked uncertain, which Blackfire caught and put a hand on the girl's shoulder. "I am sure we can do that." The girls nodded to each other just as Gaara landed on the ground again.
"I am going to kill you all!" he screamed.
Naruto looked at him uninterestedly and said, "That's nice, but I got to help the old man. I am sure my clone and these nice ladies will take great care of you."
"Ahem….I am still here." Sasuke said.
"Like I said, these nice ladies with take care your needs." Naruto smirked before flying off, laughing.
"Damnit!" Sasuke growled as he took his place next to the girls and Naruto's T-clone.
XXX
The real Naruto appeared next to the ANBU on the roof. "So, how is it going?" Naruto asked nonchalantly.
"Uzumaki-san, Hokage-sama is locked in battle with Orochimaru and his sound ninja created this barrier to keep us out. We cannot get in from the side or the top unless we want to burn and die.
Naruto nodded as he eyed the barrier critically. There obviously was not a bottom side to it or else the old man and Orochimaru would have died already. "Well I only see one other option. Follow me boys!"
Naruto back flipped into the air and fell down the building until he begun to fly again and plowed through the building's wall and made his way through the roof with the ANBU appearing shortly after. Orochimaru and Sarutobi looked at them oddly before said. "Hey, though you could use some help old man!" Naruto said before he hovered in midair and blasted a corner of the square, hitting one of the sound four, disrupting the barrier. The ANBU to their chance and engaged the sound four.
"You should not have done that boy!" Orochimaru growled.
"Oh? I think I did some good. Now we can pick up from where we left off in the Forest of Death." Naruto said seriously before he looked at a shocked Sarutobi. "Hey old man, where did you get that big staff?"
"I am not a staff!" it said, "I am Emma the Monkey King."
Naruto blinked stupidly before saying, "Cool! I wonder what the Toads and Phoenixes can do!"
"HELLO! I am still here!" Orochimaru irritably said.
"Oh right, the weird snake man." Naruto said, getting sweatdrops from both men. "Fire Style: Star Fall!" Orochimaru easily dodged the attack with a back flip.
"Enough of this bullshit!" He screamed as he bit his thumbs. "I guess I will be using this jutsu with more people in it! Summoning: Impure World Resurrection!" Naruto and Sarutobi tensed as four coffins begun to rise from the ground.
Sarutobi knew that if the one with the Kanji for the Fourth Hokage rose, they would be toast, so he sent so shurikan at it and it stopped midway before sinking back into the ground. He thought it would take more but he then remember what Minato did. However, that did not matter at the moment because he and Naruto had to deal with the first and second Hokages and Naruto Aunt. This really sucked in his book.
As the coffins rose and the one Naruto paid more attention to was the one that had the Kanji for 2nd Uzukage on it. They opened and again, Naruto paid no mind to the old Hokages because his attention was on the red head in front of him. "A-aunt Kushina!"

"Oh this is so not good!" The Naruto clone yelled out as they were again batted away from Gaara via a large wave of sand. Sasuke had tired to get Gaara again with the Chidori but missed thanks to a sand bullet veering him off course. Of course he tried again after that, even though Kakashi said to use it only twice and his curse seal activated, incapacitating him. So naturally, someone had to get him out of the line of fire and that someone was Sakura. So he was forced to watch.
The clone rushed up and sent a wave of blue fire at Gaara who again blocked with his sand, only this time, some of the sand had turned to glass! He eyed it for a moment before he cut his eyes to the sand that Sasuke's Chidori had turned to glass and smirked as a new plan formed in his head. "Alright! Let's all hit him with some fire!" He yelled.
The girls nodded as they all formed a 5 pointed star around the sand man and shot Gaara with their respective flames. The odd thing was, when Gaara was in entrapped in glass, it was multicolored.
"Well, that was easy!" Sakura cheered with Hinata smiled behind her.
Blackfire and Starfire eyed the glass for a second before they saw multiple cracks. "Duck!" They yelled. That floored everyone as the glass exploded outward and sand shot up into the sky.
"You amuse me Uzumaki!" Gaara yelled in his giant Shukaku form. 'What makes you and your friends so strong!"
Naruto eyed the sand monster from his position and sighed. "You have got to be kidding me." He deadpanned before flying upward to answer Gaara. "I fight to protect me friends! Fighting to protect my precious people is what makes me strong!"
"HA! I fight only for myself, and we shall see who's way is stronger!" Gaara yelled before he rose arms and crashed them right on Naruto, sending him into the ground.
"Naruto!" the girls screamed until they saw the clone getting out the hole his body made.
He cracked his back painfully and looked to Gaara with a glare before he smirked and went through some hand signs. Jiriaya is probably using the Toad Boss, so that leaves me with the Phoenix Boss! "SummoningJutsu: Phoenix King!" In a large poof of smoke, a large figure shot up into the sky with a screech that rang throughout the whole village. There Naruto stood on the head of a giant flaming bird. Naruto grimaced some though, Crap…that took more than half of my chakra. I just hope the boss can hold his own with that snake freak. He then got an image of what his real self was up against. Oh…crap.
XXX
Naruto scream in horror as a massive wave of water that was sent after him. "Oh come on! Why do I have to fight people that use water!" he screamed until he was wrapped up with a flames chakra chain and then pulled towards the red head.
He managed to get his right arm out and pointed it at Kushina. "I am sorry!" He said as he sent out a blast of blue fire at the red head. It went right through her left arm and took a good chunk out of her face. She looked a little happy that he had gotten in a good shot. He then saw the metal kunai that Orochimaru had stuck in her head and growled. He would free his aunt from that man's psychotic grip!
However, before he could do so, the entire top of the building was covered in huge ass trees! And then another wave of wave came towards him, forcing the blond to dodge by shooting up in the air. From above he could see the old mad fighting like a badass against the first and second hokages with Orochimaru standing by the side looking pleased. But he could also see that old man tiring. "I have got find a way to stop this!"
Right after he said that, he barely dodged a chain of flaming chakra sent to him by a now flying Kushina. "Crap." He deadpanned as he flew higher and dodged her balls of flame by spiraling in the air. He then got an idea, a just that he use back in the Forest of Death. He did a few hand signs, letting get in close before he yelled out, "Star Flare!" He said as his body shone with bright blue light, blinding and disorienting her for a moment. He then reached out to the all the stars and the sun and brought in all the energy he could. He looked at his Aunt and sighed heavily. "I am sorry. "Fire Style: Nova Shot!"
XXX
A few minutes before.
The clone was screaming as the Phoenix was spiraling to get out of the way of all the sand and air bullets sent its way. He then got an idea. "Boss! Grab the girls, I got a plan!"
The Phoenix King nodded silently before dive down to the girls. Once he caught sight of them, he shouted, "Hop on!"
Doing as they were told, the got on to the giant flaming bird, which did not burn them! "Ok, here is the plan. The Phoenix clan can absorb fire and make it a lot more powerful. So that is what we are going to do."
"Sounds good to me!" Blackfire stated with her sister nodding in agreement.
"Ok, once we get high enough in the air, get to the wings and then my friend will immobilize the sand man!" They nodded and once they were in position, they begun lending their fire the giant bird. Just as the bird was about to send off its attack, the clone felt it real self gather a lot of solar energy.
"Fire Style: Nova Shot!"
"Fire Style: Phoenix Blast!"
The attacks hit their respective targets. A massive wave of multicolored fire crashed down on the Shukakufied Gaara and made every part of the boy around him, glass. The Nova Shot was all white and it ripped right through Kushina, with only the strange kunai left behind. Naruto grabbed it and eyed the seal on it before his eyes widened and he rushed back into the fight to help the old man.
Meanwhile, the clone ran off the beak of the Pheonix before blasting of at the form of Gaara trapped in the glass with a completely shocked look on his face while the girl yelled after him.
The clone made his fist go aflame with blue fire and crashed right through the glass, making it shatter around the two boys as Naruto gut punched Gaara and followed up with an axe kick to the boy's back as he doubled over in pain, sending him hard into the ground as huge shards of glass rained down around them.
Gaara painfully rolled on to his back and looked to the sky then then to the Naruto clone who was crouched on his knees, just about out of chakra. Gaara sighed as he knew had been beaten and Naruto had proved his point. "Alright…..I give up." He said as he just laid there.
"Oh good." smiled the clone before it fell over and poofed out of existence. Shortly after, the girls and landed and begun walking over to Gaara but stopped when Temari and Kankuro appeared and hulled the red headed boy away.
XXX
The real Naruto got all the memories of his clone and smiled before crashed down on the First Hokage. He then jumped off and kicked the man in the face, sending him into his brother. "Old man! The kunai! We got to get them out!"
Sarutobi's eyes widened at that tidbit of information before a memory of his past hit him. If this worked, they could save and revive the old Hokages for good! "Do it! I get the second hokage while you get the first!"
"Right!" Naruto said as he took out his bass guitar and smashed the first right in the face and then appeared behind him in a blue flash and wacked him in the back, sending him up in the air. Naruto rocketed upwards and plunged his hand into the man's neck and ripped out the kunai, making the man crash on the ground next the second Hokage's body. The old man got to work applied some seal to their bodies while Naruto was then attacked by an enraged Orochimaru.
"I am going to kill you!" the snake man yelled. "You have ruined my plans for the last time!"
"So what!" laughed Naruto as he dodged the man's attacks before he got another idea. He disappeared and then reappeared behind the surprised man before he grabbed his right arm, snapped it at the elbow and then threw him at Sarutobi. "Batter up!"
The old man smiled and used Enma's Staff to wack Orochimaru right in the face and sent him back at the blond, who had Zabuza's sword out and right as he passed him, Naruto sliced the man's good arm off while he caught him by his snapped arm, making the man scream out in pain.
"I heard you wanted to learn all the jutsu in the world. It is going to be really hard to do that with a broken arm. Here let me help you with that." Naruto smirked evilly before he hacked off Orochimaru's other arm. "There! Now it it impossible for you!" Naruto stated a little too happily.
"Damn you Uzumaki!" Orochimaru screamed out in pain as the sound four made their way over to them and grabbed the snake man and his arms and high tailed it out of there.
Naruto turned around to see the first three Hokages looking at him with the ANBU blankly staring at the old Hokages. "Well…that was fun!"
