The Dragon Container

Chapter 11: The Test, Team 7 Formed


Author's Note:

Hello I'm back with another chapter, sorry for the delay it took longer than thought at over 10,000 words and some rewriting of some parts.

I also have some good news, bad news and good news for me, but bad news for the readers. Good news I have officially graduated from university, well not officially yet my ceremony isn't till November, but I got my degree and a 2.2 at that. As for the bad news I have to look for job which is proving harder than uni itself as I can't find anything good in my field that isn't too far away from where I live. So that is going to take some of my time.

As for the good and bad news Naruto to Boruto Shinobi Striker came out 31 Aug so I'm going to be playing that in my free time. Though I won't end up writing as much at least take comfort in that my writing is always better when I am Naruto hype.


The Next Day Training Ground 3


Team 7 assembled at the training ground 6 am sharp and none of them were surprise to find their Sensei absent at the appointed time. All the three could do was hope, it didn't take him nearly as long as it did yesterday to show up.

Naruto took a seat leaning on one of the logs, his eyes shutting trying to get as much extra sleep as he could. A very cranky Sakura had her arms crossed foot tapping impatiently up and down her inner self complaining up a storm. Sasuke was leaning on the post like Naruto only he was standing up, his eyes glancing at Naruto remembering a conversation he had with his Nii-san.


Flashback


Sasuke was having dinner with his family, Itachi and Izumi there for their weekly get together, but their father was absent today. Sasuke was telling them about what happened today, who is team were and his sensei showing up late.

Itachi could only smile, while Izumi and his Okaa-san were giggling.

"Well, looks like you got your work cut out for you Otouto, but overall it sounds like a good team." Itachi told him, knowing first hand just how troublesome two of his teammates were.

"What's good about it, I have Sensei that shows three hours late, a fangirl and the Hokage's mediocre son." Grumbling with discontent the young Uchiha couldn't see the good in it while his Nii-san just gave a knowing smile.

"While I admit Kakashi has his quirks his skills as a ninja are first rate and he'll be able to teach not only the Sharingan, but a pantheon of ninjutsu as well and as for Naruto well, I can guarantee he'll surprise you." His Nee-san tells them the memory of last week's prank and get away fresh in his mind.

"I doubt it If he was anything special he would have shown it already, the guy is average and you only don't catch him because you go is easy on him." Was his Otouto's response, but he was wrong while Itachi never tried to kill the prankster going easy on him by far the last thing he would when up against the blond devil.

"A ninja must see through deception Otouto you haven't uncovered all there is to Naruto Uzumaki, if you had the Sharingan and could see what I have, you would agree." Itachi teasing Sasuke while also trying to teach him a lesson.

Glaring at his Nii-san for bring that up of all things. Sasuke couldn't stand the fact he didn't have the Sharingan yet when his Nii-san awakened it at 8. Sasuke skills were far above the other children of the clan and his eyesight has already achieved low Sharingan level in some aspects, but for the life of him it wouldn't awaken. Unlike most other Kekkei Genkai the Sharingan could only be awaken with a strong emotional stimulant. Sadly, that meant that the vast majority of them won't awaken it, while almost every ninja of the clan ends up with it at some point having such a restriction has affected the clan's power and stalled the growth of several Uchiha. Sasuke was one of them his Sharingan inactive and refusing do so regardless of the training he went through. But Itachi's words made him curious just what did his Nii-san see when he looks at Naruto with those eyes.

Sasuke was broken out of his when he saw the empty chair of his Otou-san frowning, asking himself if his Otou-san saw the same thing in Naruto that his Nii-san did. His Otou-san has been getting home later and later and Sasuke was afraid it was because he wasn't meeting his high standards. Sasuke was going to pass the test tomorrow and show himself with pride to his Otou-san.


End of Flashback


'What can be so special that even Nii-san takes an interest in you?' He mentally asks, eyes twitching as a snot bubble comes out of Naruto's nose.

Sasuke turns away as soon as he sees a glint in their female teammate's eyes, it didn't take a genius to figure out that she mistakenly thought he was checking her out.

Minutes went by and still no sensei in sight.


Hour 3


"Where is he!" Sakura shouts the air trembling at the strength of it.

Sasuke was ready to murder someone his snoring teammate the first on the list.

Suddenly Naruto's snot bubble popped his nose twitching before the boy stood up sky blue eyes staring out ahead.

Both Sasuke and Sakura follow suit, seeing nothing, until minutes after the fact Naruto woke up the shadowy figure of their sensei approached.

"YOUR LATE!" The three shout Kakashi giving his famous eye, smile and even more famous excuse.

"Ah, sorry about that, you see a black cat crossed my path so…." His students tuned him out wondering just what they got themselves into.


The glares of his three students didn't seem to faze him, the Jonin sensei continuing to explain what their little exercise will be.

"Alright, your test shell be these." With a jingle showing them two bells in his hands.

"Bells?" Sakura questions, her teammates eyeing the man knowing there was more.

"Yes, your test will be to get a bell for me." Giving them a smile, Sakura asks further, but the gears in Naruto's and Sasuke already had a fair guess.

"But there are three of us and only two bells." Sakura didn't understand how the team was supposed to pass if…like lightning it struck.

Seeing the look of revelation Kakashi finishes her thoughts. "Yes, only two of you will pass, while the other one will be sent back to the academy as well as watch the rest of us eat lunch while they are tied to the post."

Each had their own reactions, but the common trait Sakura and Sasuke shared was this thought. 'So that's why he told us not to eat breakfast.'

However, this thought was absent from the third member who was instead looking down a shadow covering his eyes and fists clenching.

"Though I suppose none of you could pass." Kakashi pulls out a clock. "It is set for noon, within that time get a bell or off back to the academy for you. Everything is allowed weapons and jutsu with no restrictions."

Sakura gave a gasp. "But Sensei those tools are too dangerous to use for a simple exercise you could die!" Was Sakura's foolish reply.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that Sakura as a matter of fact…." Trailing off his only eye opening with frosty glare that sent shivers up her spine. "If you want any hope of getting a bell you better come at me with the intent to kill."

His words were meant with silence they could easily tell he was serious. "Now your time starts now." Quicker than the eye could see and the words could leave his lips Sakura and Sasuke disappear into the surrounding forest.


'A ninja must hide their presence and strike when the opportunity presents itself.' Was ninja 101 and team 7 seemed to have it down, though Kakashi still easily knew their general area such was the difference in their level. "They seem to have that down at least."

Kakashi was about to pull his favourite book out when he noticed orange in the corner of his vision. Turning, he saw the Hokage's son standing unmoving from since the test started.

'Seems not all of them have it, oh well not like I expected anything from him anyway.'


In their hiding places Sakura and Sasuke could see the clearing Naruto and Kakashi now stood. Both were thinking the same thing. 'Naruto you idiot!'

Neither of them had any love for the blond and weren't going to lift a finger to help him. 'Is this what Itachi meant Naruto was more foolish than I believed he could be.' Was Sasuke's thought as his eyes focused on searching for an opening.


"You know Naruto you would have been better off hiding like the others don't assume just because of my history with your father that I am going to go easy on you." Kakashi told him continuing to reach for his book certain that the Hokage son or not Naruto wouldn't be able to push him like his siblings could.

"Kakashi" Naruto's voice was blank, his head not looking up from the ground. "Did the Hokage put you up to this test?" His voice devoid of emotion as if asking the weather or some other regular subject.

Looking at the kid Kakashi was smiling, this test was something passed on from his sensei, from the time his sensei, sensei and he was proud of that fact. "Yep."

For the first time since the test was announced Naruto looks up shocked. His eyes blank as if his very soul was pulled out of him. Teeth and fists clenched, a breeze blew by the grass from his feet, swirling and turning into a mini whirlwind. Synchronises his muscles all move and next thing Kakashi knew Naruto was in front of him fist rearing to strike.

"WHAT?" It was only the highly trained reflex developed from years of battle that Kakashi was even able to react, his body moving the instant he saw Naruto appear almost right on top him.

Blocking his punch with easy effort, sweat was dripping from his brow. He should have known to have expected Naruto to surprise him somehow giving his reputation with the Anbu. Arm still connected Kakashi was going to fling Naruto away with a counter, until his keen eye saw the whirl of wind around his arm and fist.

"Huh!?" Faster than a second Kakashi pulls his arm away, no it would more accurate to say it was blown away several tears and cuts from invisible blades appearing as he did. 'This is Fūton (Wind Release).'

As a Jonin Kakashi had many experiences with wind jutsu to gentle breeze and violent tempests, from swords and knives sharpened and extended to deadly efficiency. But this, this was new Naruto's arm for a better word was clad in a whirl of razor sharp wind. Never before had he seen wind release used like this, it was hard enough to make a breeze or sharpen a blade, but using it to augment taijutsu that was new. His wind was sharp even without the medium of a blade, but still maintained its formless shape and controlled perfectly under the boy's will as if his fist and the wind were one in the same.

Something like that would require both shape manipulation and change in chakra nature that was comparable to his Chidori. With one glance Kakashi could tell Naruto's shaping and wind release were at an incredibly high level, it was literally a wind version of Chidori maybe even better and if he didn't pull away in time Kakashi was sure he wouldn't have gotten away with just a few cuts.

Kakashi didn't have time to wallow in wonder as he saw the grass beneath Naruto push down by an in invisible force said force soon became more visible as another whirl of wind appearing on Naruto left leg. 'His legs as well?'

Hands were one thing, but the legs it takes years to learn how to channel and control elemental chakra in one limb, but getting two down and with enough proficiency to use both simultaneously.

There was only one thought in his head Naruto was a genius.

Quickly forcing chakra to his feet Kakashi leaps backwards into a backflip right as Naruto's attack comes in.

Blue eyes glare at the Jonin an aura of wind encircling Naruto's arms and legs raging like storm ready to destroy all in its path. His eyes focused on the gash in Kakashi's vest.

Noticing the gash himself Kakashi spoke up. "Really Naruto after today I'm going to need a new wardrobe."

Growling softly in response. "You're going to need more than a change of clothes once I'm done with you."

The aura of wind grew stronger enveloping his body as new whirlwinds appeared on the rest of his limbs. The force of the wind grew so strong that it was felt by not only the Jonin several feet away, but also the genin in hiding even farther away. Kakashi was going to pay Naruto would make sure of that.


Sasuke and Sakura in their separate hiding places shared the same thought. 'Is that really Naruto?'

Sasuke couldn't believe his eyes as the class clown was clad in wind and within seconds was able to score hits on their sensei. 'Was this what Nii-san meant, this was what Naruto was hiding.' This was unlike any jutsu he had ever heard of and a dangerous one at that by the state of Kakashi's clothes.

Sasuke's eyes focus on the fight as Naruto got ready to relaunch his attack.


'Damn it, he dodged both the Tenryū no rasenken (Sky Dragon's Spiralling Fist) and Tenryū no Kagizume (Sky Dragon's Claw).' Naruto was pissed not only did the Hokage abandon him, but he was trying to prevent him from coming a ninja entirely.

For a second Naruto saw his family smiling, but that vision was shattered. If he had any doubts they were gone now, they were beyond redemption and he wasn't going to let the Hokage get away with what he's done. He was going to use every ounce of strength he had and show not just his sensei, but that worthless Tou-san of his why they should fear dragon slayers.

The whirlwinds on his legs increased in speed and with a leap they acted as springs launching Naruto at Kakashi at unbelievable speed.

However, Kakashi was ready this time, with easy he sides steps out of Naruto's line of fire and goes for the counter with his left fist. There was no way to dodge it midair as the fist got closer and closer. However, the speeding bullet that was Naruto stops it was only for a split second, but Kakashi's trained eye caught it all as Naruto that was facing head on twist and turns to face him completely clearing Kakashi's fist. Yet that wasn't the only thing Naruto's previously avoided attack was now on course for Kakashi's midsection, but instead of fist his hand was wide open and fingers bent like a claw.

'Tenryū no Saiga (Sky Dragon's Crushing Fang)' The upward slash slicing into Kakashi's midsection a transparent trail of aqua and whiteish wind behind it.

Kakashi was sent back several more feet seemingly unharmed that was until slash going right to the skin appeared in his vest from the stomach to his lower chest.

His lone eye twitching, this was really annoying not only do his attacks have extra range and cutting power behind them, but he can also do the impossible and change course midair as naturally as breathing.

For a second Kakashi's hand twitches. 'Should I use it.' If he used the Sharingan he would easily be able to read and avoid Naruto's unusual attacks. 'No, I can't talented or not Naruto's still just a kid and that would be going overboard.' Plus, if word got out that genin forced him to get serious Kakashi would be made a laughing stock of the village and his new students wouldn't respect him.

Once more Naruto charges throwing punches, slashes and kicks with Kakashi dodging by a hair's breadth, but not without little tears. At first it seemed Naruto's was wining and slowing gaining adventure as his sensei stayed on the defence, but that soon disappeared. Kakashi started parrying the attacks from the upper parts of the limbs where the wind didn't reach. A fist aimed for the face he struck it away with his hand landing right on the edge of where the whirlwind started on Naruto's arm. As Naruto switches to a kick, Kakashi's own leg appears on his thigh stopping it in its tracks. This repeated Kakashi no longer gaining anymore gash dodging and parrying each move perfectly.

Catching on the minute Kakashi went to parry his next Tenryū no rasenken( Sky Dragon's Spiralling Fist) Naruto focuses the whirlwind around his fist getting smaller as it moved up his arms forcing Kakashi to send him flying with a kick to the stomach. Yet Naruto held strong the wind around him stopping him from going any further than 2 meters away, his arms came up above his head.

Bringing them down with a shout. "Tenryū no Yokugeki (Sky Dragon's Wing Attack)" A large whirlwind struck out right at Kakashi the Jonin unable able to dodge and blasted into a tree behind him with enough force to shatter the bark.

Dust clearing Naruto's eyes followed the trail of flattened grass right to ground zero, but what met his eyes wasn't an injured Kakashi. Instead in the Jonin's place was a shattered and destroyed log embedded into the tree.

'What? Where is he.' Naruto fractally starts searching left to right, his ears twitching followed by his nose. Faint rumbling was heard getting louder and louder. Raising his right fist into the air the whirlwind around grew in size the spinning of it getting faster and faster.

"Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu!(Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique)"

Two hands appear right under Naruto grabbing his feet and pulling him down at that exact moment Naruto brings down his fist the whirlwind around it built up to sphere the size of Naruto.

"Tenryū no rasenken!( Sky Dragon's Spiralling Fist)"

As Naruto began to disappear into the ground the whirlwind crashes with a mighty boom that rocks the training ground. Dust, smoke and shattered rocks explode everywhere, the ground giving way to Naruto's typhoon.


Sasuke and Sakura saw the explosion and soon after they felt the after shook as the training ground shook accompanied by the boom and roar of the class clowns attack.

The dust and debris exploded out like a normal explosion, but soon after it changed instead of outwards it returned getting closer to the source. It was phenomenon that denied the law of physics, but what came next told them just what was happening.

The dust gathered up moving into one diction, the debri slowly doing the same. It kept moving clockwise and raising and it was then that the explosion came into its true form. There having appeared out of nowhere on a clear sunny day was one of nature's most fearsome forces. A tornado while small to call it that there was no better description they could give. The dust rotated with amazing force pulling more air towards it that the two spectators feared they would get sucked up in it. The heavy debri was pulled around like paper and drilling sound accompanied it as mother nature's earth and sky fought for dominance.

After a minute or so the tornado fizzled out the debri dropping or crashing into the ground the cloud of dust getting thinner and thinner as it spread like morning mist.

Peering through the dust Sasuke and Sakura saw a lone shadow soon a gentle breeze blew away the dust the shadows identity revealed. They're standing in the crater of shattered earth, at least 10 meters in diameter with cracks that went deep in the earth around it was a boy in dark orange jacket hardly a scratch on him. As left over debri came crashing back down to earth not a single one was close to him as if some higher power was telling the lifeless rock that this area was off limits.

They couldn't believe their eyes the once clear and grassy clearing was now a wreck of pulled up earth, not a speck of green remained meters from ground zero.

As more dust cleared the two genin saw their teammate was out of breath and was staring in front of him at their sensei.

'Is this really Naruto.' Sakura was in wonder, their Jonin sensei's clothes were in rags while Naruto still looked as good as new. It was obvious to the girl who won, the class clown, the loser, the Hokage's unwanted child was the victor.

'So, this is Naruto's true power.' Sasuke's reaction was completely different his body shook, but not in fear. No, it was shaking in a feeling he knew all too well, one that he felt many times towards the boy's siblings, but never this strongly. Anticipation, the desire to fight a strong and worthy opponent, his Uchiha blood was screaming at him that Naruto was someone that would push him to his limit. However, Sasuke wasn't blinded by the overwhelming power the boy showed, while Kakashi more or less looks worse for wear there was one difference between the two, one which told the young Uchiha the battle was far from over after that big attack. Naruto was out breath while Kakashi besides from his clothes was in perfect condition his breathing totally normal, energy to spare as opposed to the weakened Naruto.

Despite his attitude Kakashi was every bit as worthy to the title Jonin and even without having seen it in use Sasuke couldn't help, but approve to Kakashi having his clan's dojutsu if anyone one was worthy other than an Uchiha it was him. The whole fight it seemed Naruto was pushing him, but it was the opposite every attack dodged at a hairs length, no direct hits, no lasting damage. From keeping up with Naruto's moves, to parrying something that seemed impossible. Kakashi skills were beyond image that even the raw power and force of nature that was Naruto was powerless against this refined diamond of skill.

Looking back to the battle both participants weren't moving, they continued like this for several when the young Uchiha sees what he's been waiting for.

'There!'

Crossing his arms shuriken appearing in-between each finger, his black eyes focusing solely on their sensei. It was slight, almost instinctual, but Sasuke saw it the slight slouch in Kakashi's stance, the way his eyes and other senses were focusing solely on Naruto. This was the opening he's been waiting for, taking aim Sasuke let lose his deadly weapons flying through the air to take their intended target's life.


Naruto was glaring at his sensei who was unharmed by his previous attack. He hates to admit it, but Kakashi was way stronger than he lets on. The way he reacts to all his attacks just in time to avoid fatal damage was superhuman and the fact he avoided that wide spread attack despite the fact it was thrown right when Kakashi grabbed his legs was even more unbelievable.

Not letting his guard down Naruto was preparing his next move, his body ready to move at moment's notice when he comes up with a plan or when Kakashi makes his move.

"Now, Now Naruto it's like you're seriously trying to kill me here." Kakashi playfully spoke, irritating Naruto.

"Wasn't it you who told us to come at you with the intention to kill." Naruto plays along, buying time to not only recover, but also to come up with a plan.

'I could switch now, but the loss of range and speed with his reflexes would put me at a disadvantage, my only hope is to take him by surprise again.' A plan mind Naruto watches for his own opening.

"Touche, I did say to have a chance you would need to kill me, but it hurts my heart that you could seriously try aren't we like family Naruto-Kun." Kakashi mockingly puts his hand over his heart as if he'd been stabbed there.

Showing a visible reaction to his words Kakashi smiles under his mask as Naruto face twists in rage and the boy crouches but remains in control. However, what he didn't know was that he was walking a very fine line as it wasn't the action and mocking that enraged Naruto, but the use of that one taboo word 'family'.

"That's rich considering this fucked up test you the Hokage set up, it's almost as if you want me to fail." Spitting out each word, Kakashi frowning in response.

"You're just too cruel Naruto as if me or your father want you to fail. I'm just testing whether you are fit to be ninja or not and that depends on you." Growling softly in response Naruto holds his hands in front like a wild animal.

"Do you really think you can get the bells on you own, because if so you aren't ready yet, a ninja must look underneath the underneath. Keep it up and at his rate you'll have to go back to the academy. "

That was it Naruto charging ahead, his speed was much slower than before, but Kakashi thought nothing of it. Closer and closer he got and when Naruto covered half the distance that was when it happened. Kakashi was struck down by several projectiles, some in his head, one his neck and the rest in his arms or back. It was as if they perfectly hit every vital place they could get to. Naruto's eyes widen in surprise his fist which started glowing red stops no sooner than it had come.


As the shuriken pieced into Kakashi's body all Sasuke could do was smirk. His Nii-san drilled it into his head again and again that even the strongest ninja would lose if taken by surprised. At this moment in time Sasuke was enlightened, he beat someone who even his Nii-san respect.

It was only seconds after the fact that he realises his arrogance got the better of him. The Kakashi that was struck by his shuriken went poof a cloud of smoke in its place and when it disappears a log was in his sensei's place.

Eyes wide in shock Sasuke jolts from his current position fleeing into the forest for a new hiding place all while scolding himself. 'Damn it how could I have been so foolish, of course it was a trap no way a Jonin would let themselves get so easily.'

If Sasuke was his usual self he would have realised that the opening he saw was a trap, he would have never fallen for it and let his position be discovered. But that was just what he did, the reason why was simple seeing Naruto of all people, someone who has always been looked down upon as inferior to his siblings fight at such a high level lit a fire within him. He wanted to fight Kakashi as well, he wants to pit himself and see how far he could go, to see if he could match the hidden strength Naruto just showed.

And because of that he let his feelings and excitement pull him in, making a move that no matter how he tries to rationalise it would never work on a Jonin such as Kakashi.


After Kakashi disappeared the first thing Naruto did was rush into the cover of the surrounding forest. The reason why he did this was twofold, one to recover his stamina and two to calm down. Naruto was a loose cannon no would deny that, but he was also smart in his own way, he wasn't like his Imouto or Sakura. No cunning would be the best word to describe it, he didn't use compacted plans, but unusual tactics would flow out and allow him to gain the upper hand. But his anger was getting to him, Kakashi's words put fuel on the fire making him lose his senses and turn into nothing, but a brawler and that wouldn't work on an opponent of Kakashi's level.

'H-a-tc.'

Naruto calms himself, closing his eyes, putting both hands together and crossing his legs mediating like Iris-Sensei showed him. As he did a whispering voice got louder.

'Ha-tch.'

'Hatchling!' Eyes snapping open Naruto wasn't in the forest of the training ground anymore, but he was standing on an endless sea the sea sparkling in rainbow colours. Looking up Naruto saw a gate and inside it was his sensei the rainbow dragon Iris, her appearance still as majestic as the day he first saw her.

"I finally got through to you." The mighty beast starts off worry in her voice.

"You need to watch your temper Hatchling once your rage gets the best of you, you block me out without realising it and I can't help you then." She scolds like a mother would her child, which was just what it was. With his own Kaa-san neglecting him Iris was the closest thing he had to a mother's love these past few years.

Naruto looks down in disappointment, he hated to let Iris down after all she's done for him. To him the feeling of guilty he felt at disappointing her was worse than any punishment she could give and Iris knew that which is why she lets it go knowing that Naruto would do a better job at punishing himself then anything she could come up with.

"Now little one you need to calm down you can't beat someone of that level when you are clouded by rage." Iris's motherly voice echoes.

"I know that, but everything he said-" Getting cut off before he could finish as Iris's calming voice washes over him.

"I know hatchling, but if you think this through then you would realise there is more than meets the eye in this test." Confused young Naruto speaks up.

"What do you mean by that! The way it's set up screams that blasted Hokage doesn't want me to pass!" Normally he would be much calmer and more respectful when speaking to his mother figure, but his emotions were getting the better of him.

"But have you ever heard of only one person failing the genin test, when the rest of the team have?" Blinking at the question, Naruto puts a hand to his chin and thinks it over.

"You see we've seen plenty of other people get sent back to the academy in previous years, but they were always in sets of three." Her words got through to Naruto, but the lingering doubt still remains.

"But we know for a fact that the Chunin exams finals and promotions are done on an individual basis, but the rounds before that are team base. Meaning it wouldn't be surprising if there was a pool of genin without a team and that they can fill in a left open spot in a team." Referencing what they found out about the exams, despite being estranged Naruto has gone and seen the exams with his ex-family before. It was always the finals, but he clearly remembers that sometimes only one member of a team would get promoted and that the rounds before the finals were done in teams. Knowing that it was easy to deduce that there are genin who's teammates are Chunin and in need of a team.

"Yes, but they have never been cases of genin being sent back to the academy without the rest of his teammates." Was Iris counter argument.

"But that doesn't mean it can't happen, especially with the Hokage against us." Anger flashes in his eyes at the mention of the Hokage.

"Yes, but the Hokage can't interfere without political backlash, moreover, he would have had the third member be someone who could believably get a bell over you. That girl Sakura may be smart, but her practical skills in anything, but Iryō (Medical) Jutsu are none existent. She wouldn't be able to get a bell before you if you both competed." The dragon slayer's eyes widen at this revelation, no matter how he slices it there was no way to let Sakura beat him unless Kakashi let her get a bell and even then, it would be suspicious.

"However, the biggest clue is a memory from long ago when you and your family were in happier times." Pulling the memory from Naruto's subconscious, the boy quickly puts the puzzle together.


In another place Sasuke was leaning on tree catching his breath after several minutes of none stop running while also hiding his tracks and changing direction.

'Damn it!' Frustration was all he could feel as his surprise attack not only failed, but was most likely a trap purposely done by their sensei. To make matters worse the clock was ticking and Sasuke hadn't the faintest idea where to find Kakashi.

'Even if I do find him would I be able to get a bell.' The fight between Kakashi and Naruto showed the Uchiha just how far above them Kakashi really was. The whole time the bell didn't leave Kakashi's waist even with Naruto unusual and invisible wind jutsu the wire holding the bell was never cut. Though it looked to the Uchiha that Naruto wasn't going for the bell that only made the fact the bell was never in danger even once even more daunting. It means that even if Sasuke focuses only on the bell there would be no way for him to get it without Kakashi stopping him.

'I could use a Gōkakyū (fireball) to burn the wire, but with Kakashi's reactions I doubt I would be able to retrieve it before him, plus I doubt that he wouldn't have prepared a wire strong enough take almost anything, including one of my clan's signature jutsu.' Scenario after Scenario passed through his mind, but all of them end the same failure. Cursing and frowning glaring at the seemingly impossible task at this rate he had no choice, but to wing it and hope, he got lucky or manage to find a weakness mid battle. If worse comes to worse he could try a and suicide attack and hope it catches Kakashi by surprise enough for him to get a bell.

SNAP!

"Who's there!" Shouting in frustration as well as surprise, so busy coming up with a plan that he lost sight of his surroundings and failed to notice the appearance of someone one so close.

Not long after his shout Sasuke was greeted by the sight of blond hair and big smile.

"Sasuke I have proposition for you."

As Sasuke listens all he could do was smirk, with this plan they could defiantly get the bell.


Kakashi was lazily reading his favourite book, at the moment he was in the middle of juicy part and once done he, would hunt down his genin one by one. He already knew where Sakura was and he was disappointed the first thing she did after Sasuke's failed attack was rush after the Uchiha. She didn't bother hiding nor, anything she was just blindly searching for Sasuke without concealing her presence. It would take less than a second to find her, Sasuke would be a bit hard, but easily traceable for an Anbu level ninja. The only one he would have trouble finding was Naruto, but considering how the boy acted he would most likely be drawn out by just standing out in the open.

Kakashi's eyes suddenly sharpen, slamming his book, he says. "Looks like I won't be able to finish and it was just getting good Ryota was about to sneak into Junko's room for a forbidden tryst." He laments that he would now need to finish this after the test.

"Shut up you pervert we don't need to hear about your porno!" Naruto, next to him, Sasuke was glaring at the Ero-sensei.

"How dare you this isn't porno, but art!" Kakashi cradles his book whispering comforting words as if it was a child making both boys sweet drop. Once done Kakashi gets serious for once. "Well, I must say this is a surprise you two teaming up, but do you honestly think it would make a difference."

"We won't know that until we try." Sasuke says getting ready to attack, knees bent to leap at their sensei.

Naruto raises his arms Kakashi wearily watching expecting another wind jutsu while Sasuke sweats hoping the plan will work. "Banīa (Vernier), Āmuzu(Arms), Āmā (Armor)!" With the shout of these words Naruto swings both hands down, Kakashi filching slightly expecting the attack, but instead watches as both Sasuke and Naruto glow red and green respectfully. Both of these glows were around sphere size, but then shrink so that the glow is only coming inches off their bodies.

Wondering what the hell they were planning Kakashi watches as Naruto nods to Sasuke. Within seconds Sasuke rockets at Kakashi appearing right in front of him surprising the Jonin. Kakashi easily sides steps the attack, though the surprise on his face was evident enough to know that he was not expecting such a level of speed from Sasuke. It would be an impressive feat if it wasn't for the matching surprise on Sasuke's faces.

Sasuke to all witness accounts was floating in the air, his decent slow and body all over the place and disorientated. 'What is this? My body it's so light and -'

The slow fallen Sasuke suddenly twists in midair similar to what Naruto did before. 'Overflowing with power!' Sending a kick straight to Kakashi's face, his sensei's blocks only for the 67 kg man to be forced backwards, his feet leaving marks in the dirt as he did.

"What the hell?" That strength was way too much for a mere genin, Kakashi's arms felt as if they were hit by a hammer feeling the force with his whole body and a numbness setting in his arms.

Kakashi didn't have time to lament what was going on as with three times the speed of earlier Naruto appears to his side, a whirlwind clad fist heading for the bells. 'Shit!' No sooner had he finished the thought a burst of chakra shot out of his feet lifting him up into the air and into a backflip saving the bells. As Naruto's fist passes his sensei grabs his arm in the safe area where the whirlwind didn't reach. With the muscle strength of his arm only Kakashi held himself up, flexing the the muscles from his arm Kakashi swings himself back the way he came his heel on course for Naruto's head. At least it would have been if a blue blur didn't crash into the arm Naruto held out causing the boy to be pulled out of harm's way as he moved clockwise. However, it wasn't over, with the attack having missed Kakashi was wide open and Naruto wasn't going to miss it. With added force Naruto swung his arm clockwise and as it came back into Kakashi view the Join was surprised to see a Sasuke attached to it who was about to kick him in the midsection with his left leg.

"Ugh!" The air knocked out of him, Kakashi is blown back several meters, but recovers himself glaring at the two boys with weary eyes as Sasuke lets go of Naruto's arms landing next to the blond genin.

Giving a tired sigh Kakashi thinks he seriously underestimated them. Kakashi was prepared for Sasuke to be at low Chunin level, but his speed and strength were closer to high Chunin and Naruto was closer to low Jonin now. As a matter of fact, if it wasn't for the fact Sasuke was disoriented and as surprised with his new-found speed as was Kakashi, he was sure Sasuke would be at Jonin as well. But this lack of control only meant one thing and that this wasn't Sasuke's natural speed.

Remembering the glowing from Naruto jutsu Kakashi is confident that was the cause of this sudden power boost. 'I have seen plenty of jutsu for boosting speed or power, but never one that was used on other people. If I had to guess Sasuke and Naruto are at least 2 to 3 times faster and stronger than usual troublesome.' Kakashi couldn't help, but borrow the Nara clan's catchphrase originally, he wanted to beat them without using too many chakra control techniques, but they already made him do that twice and at the rate they were going he would end up pulling out the Sharingan.

'I'll be a laughing stock if I'm forced to use that on them, I have no choice, but to attack as well and incapacitate them. While Sasuke still doesn't have full control over his new speed he is picking it up quickly and Naruto is obviously used to it, not to mention the twos teamwork is unparalleled not even a team with years of experience working together would be able to pull off the moves these two were doing.' Kakashi body flickers going on the attack his pervious thoughts were so fast that not even a few seconds had passed in real time.

Sasuke disappeared with a leap that took him several meters further then where he wanted land. 'Shit.' Cursing the fact that his little boost was so hard to control, who knew that great power was so hard to handle. Looking at Naruto Sasuke saw the boy unmoving as Kakashi's punch landed right in his gut.

'What he didn't even try to dodge?' This thought was not thought of by just Sasuke, but Kakashi as well. As his punch connected his lone eye saw Naruto smirk slightly, but that wasn't what had his attention it was the slight glow over the boy's skin that had his focus. 'Don't tell me!' His fears were confirmed as the feeling of the impact of his fist finally reached his brain telling him that Naruto's gut was rock hard. An attack like the one he just threw should have sent the boy heaving, but instead he was smiling. Kakashi tried to pull his hand away, but Naruto grabs it with an iron grip, not letting Kakashi get away.

'Drat it wasn't just his speed and power, but his defence also increased.' This was bad, if their defences were at least two times stronger Kakashi would need to not pull any punches to take them down. From the corner of his eyes, he sees Sasuke getting ready to attack him.

Turning to the smirking Naruto Kakashi apologised in his head. 'Sorry Naruto a little shock shouldn't hurt too bad.' A faint blue glow surrounded Kakashi's hand as chakra poured from it a single spark of blue lighting happened soon followed by even more sparks as electricity was made. The lighting poured into the boy shocking him, the smirk on his face turning into grimace of pain Kakashi giving a slight smile at least he was until he noticed that Naruto wasn't letting go.

Kakashi didn't have the opportunity to react as Sasuke rushes into him with a devastating kick to the head that set him flying and seeing stars. Kakashi tumbled on the ground several meters till his body regained its balance switching from tumble to standing in a moment. His vision slightly blurred and head pounding as he got ready for the next attack.

Sadly, for Kakashi the two genin weren't going to give him a break the boys rushed Kakashi once more, Naruto going low and Sasuke going high. Kakashi blocks Sasuke's kick while simultaneously jumping Naruto's, then using the momentum of his jump Kakashi response with a kick of his own twisting his body midair nailing Sasuke with a kick to the temple. The next thing he had to deal with was the raising, spinning kick that Naruto's low kick leads to for a second there Kakashi thought it was Gai's Konoha Senpū coming at him, but it was just similar. Using the momentum of his last kick he twists and strikes Naruto with a hammer fist right to the chin knocking the boy away. However, before his feet even touched the ground Sasuke having recovered from an attack that would have knocked anyone else out was already on him once more. Leaning back, his feet finally found the ground Kakashi parries a punch from Sasuke to the side and repays it back with a knee to the gut. Kakashi has the chance to follow up instead, however he chose to back off going into a back flip causing a charging Naruto to miss his mark.

Sweat drops as he sees Sasuke shrug off his gut hit like it was nothing, whatever jutsu Naruto was using was insane. Not even armour provided this level of protection all of his attacks were meant to knock them out, heck some of them could kill with the amount of force he put into them. Yes, a bit excessive he knows, but he really didn't have a choice considering the fact the boys defences were several times stronger than a samurai in armor. While those hits did basically nothing Kakashi was able to get the basic principles of how the defence works, most likely the thin layer of chakra around them defuses the force of his attacks just before they land making it hard to knock them or even injure them.

Well, Kakashi was definitely in a tough spot and even he has to admit that with skills like these he kind of has to pass them. Sure, they haven't completed all of his criteria for passing, but they earn enough extra credit with their skills for him to allow a bye. Yet he wasn't going to tell them that, that would hurt his pride he'll throw out a few impressive jutsu first, maybe run them into the ground before time runs out after all he need them to respect him. If they somehow got the ridiculous notion that they were stronger then him from this scuffle they would never listen to him.

The two genin charge once more, this time Sasuke in front Naruto hidden behind, Sasuke dashes… well more like blown right into throwing a fist at his sensei. But before it even has a chance to land Kakashi hand is on his head, pulling him down as the Jonin leaped over as if doing leap frog despite his age. On the other side of Sasuke, Kakashi saw Naruto's hands were in the same movement they were in as one of his earily jutsu summarising that Naruto gave Sasuke a little boost in speed with his jutsu. Throwing shuriken with his free hand, Kakashi starts running though the seals for a jutsu. "Doton: Doryūheki!(Earth Style: Mud Wall)" Slamming his palms to the ground two walls pop up both in front and behind, immediately after Kakashi whizzes through more seals. With his back and front protected both Naruto and Sasuke would need either jump over or go through the side to get him. At least that was supposed at happened as Kakashi saw a shadow over him with Naruto head over the wall he just put up. Considering the angle Naruto must have made it close enough to him get caught on the wall, now normally this would be no big deal if it wasn't for the sparkling sharp metal objects in his mouth that Kakashi recognise as his shuriken. As Naruto took a deep breath Kakashi cartwheeled out the way narrowing dodging wind enchanted shuriken.

Sasuke coming behind Kakashi finishes his jutsu. "Suiton: Mizurappa(Water Style: Raging Waves)" A blast of water from his mouth he blows Sasuke back. Seeing a shadow on the ground blow him Kakashi blocks above just in time to catch a heel kick from Naruto. The power behind it made Kakashi's feet dig into the ground yet the Jonin withstood it opening his blocked arms to send Naruto back once more.

The two genin kept going, Kakashi parried a punch from Sasuke, a kick from Naruto, he punches Naruto and then Sasuke over and over again, regardless of how much he hit them the boys kept coming back like lost puppies.

Having parried another of Naruto's hits, Sasuke vaults over the boy for a head shot only for Kakashi to dodge and then block his next attacks. Sasuke backs off and Naruto takes his place, it was like this for a while now, while they had little visible signs of exhaustion the two were no longer coming at him together instead switching between the two to keep him going while one of them rests. Naruto pushes off Kakashi with his legs and into a back flip with his sight now clear he sees that Sasuke had started seals for a jutsu. Not enough time to counter with his own jutsu Kakashi was going to get out the way. But while his focus was on Sasuke, Naruto in midair had twisted to face him having taken a deep breath. An alarm bells rung in his head at the starting signs of a wind jutsu. While he was focused on Sasuke, Kakashi didn't see if Naruto made hand signs, but he could guess what type of jutsu they were and he was in trouble.

Sasuke finishing on the Tora (Tiger) seal and Naruto holding his breath the two boys said their Jutsu's names at the same time.

"Roar of!"

"Katon (Fire Style)"

Sasuke made a breathing motion while Naruto made a roaring one, fire and wind burst out of each respected boy's mouths. On a deadly course to Kakashi.

"The Sky Dragon!"

"Gōkakyū no Jutsu! (Fireball Jutsu)"

From Naruto's mouth a white tornado like blast was released, from Sasuke a stream of orange flame that grew into the shape of a ball as it got bigger. Kakashi respective went into slow motion as he saw the tornado collide with the fire looking as if it will sallow it up shrinking and growing in size like it was going to explode. He watches as the orange flames fight with the swelling wind and then as the orange turned to white the explosion finally came, but not the one you would expect. From the sphere of warring elements an explosion of spiralling white flames shot right towards him roaring for Kakashi's death.

The blast went right through Kakashi incarnating everything within its path, the ground melts trees vanish and the leaves of trees lucky enough to not be on its path burn. It's heat so intense that the whole temperature of the training ground was changed with that single move.

"Wow…." Was the genin's reaction to their Jutsu's path of destruction as their attack finally meet its ending exploding miles away in a dome of fiery death the aftershocks so strong they struggled to be blown away by them.

They knew combining fire and wind jutsu together would make the jutsu stronger, but this was just insane.

"I think… we killed out sensei." Naruto says with a drop of sweat on his forehand, never having expected for there to be so much damage.

"Huh…" Was the Uchiha's speechless response as he watched the smoke and dust clear seeing even more of the aftermath of their jutsu of mass destruction. The trench left from the blast was several meters deep, the ground it was made off now red hot and melted magma. The grass near the trench was burnt completely black and lifeless.

No matter how they look at it, they couldn't think of a way for Kakashi to have survived. That was until the ground that was away from the trench and the grass still had life started to move. Creaks appeared and from within them rouse Kakashi his flak jacket completely gone, leaving him in his dark blue ninja shirt that had burned marks all around it. His hair was dishevelled and his headband was missing.

"Oh, good he survived." Naruto smiles weakly, not knowing whether the fact they didn't kill him was good or not.

While mostly unharmed Kakashi was sluggish the heat from the blast alone doing a number on his stamina, but he was able to escape with a seal-less Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu (Earth Style: Hidden Mole Jutsu) diving himself underground deep enough not to die from the attack.

'Well, I almost died, but I won there's no way to get the bell from me in the remaining time.' Now all he had to do was play off that big attack like it was no big deal and then fail them by explaining the meaning of the test, but then give them barely pass since they did work together and showed amazing but unrefined potential and they will follow him anywhere.

As Kakashi was gloating a pink blur shot out from the trees, heading right for the bells on his belt.

Naruto and Sasuke smile as their true ace in the hole made their move.


Flashback


Naruto and Sasuke were hunched on the ground Naruto explaining his plan. "Kakashi's a Jonin so even if we work together we won't be able get the bell from him, so we need to make an opening me and Sasuke will fight Kakashi on our and then you." Pointing to a third person present.

"Will go right for the bells after me and Sasuke fire off a collaboration fire and wind jutsu." He finishes Sasuke looking with cold eyes at the plan, but the other person having doubts.

"But wait, even if I go for the bells won't he notice me before I even get close to them." A feminine voice arguing.

"Don't worry, this will be our last-ditch effort, there won't be enough time after we lunch our jutsu for me and Sasuke to do anything else to get the bells, plus we would be exhausted from fighting. Kakashi will lower his guard down and won't be expecting you, plus he should be fatigued as well slowing him down."

The other person gave an unsure look, but Naruto encouraged them. "Don't worry, I can assure you will be able to get bells with my jutsu in affect you will three times faster than normal. You're our ace."

"Let's do it, after seeing Kakashi fight, he is obviously too skilled to fight head on, it's a risk, but also the only chance we have of catching him off guard." Sasuke speaks and at hearing his words the other person puts her hands up with a loud shout.

"I'll do it!"

Naruto and Sasuke look at their female teammate with smiles.


End of Flashback


Sakura was rushing right for Kakashi at speeds equal to the transportation jutsu and faster than she ever gone before. She was shocked at seeing how well Naruto and Sasuke fought and felt insecure, but kept reminding herself that the whole plan rested on her.

Naruto watches from afar knowing that in his current state and with the speed boost he gave Sakura there was no way Kakashi could react.

At least that was until he saw a glow of red from Kakashi's eye. 'Shit!' Their plan didn't include the Sharingan as a matter of fact the whole plan was centred on making sure Kakashi didn't get a chance to pull it out. The increase visual perception of the eye would allow Kakashi to perfectly see the speeding Sakura's moves and react within the shortening timeframe where it would have been to physically and mentally tried to avoid her properly before.

Putting his hands together Naruto made a hand seal.

The dishevelled Kakashi turns at hearing the sound of something coming out the bushes to the side of him. The Sharingan in his left eye was spinning and the blurry form of Sakura came into focused seeming to be moving in slow-motion.

Under his mask he smiles. 'I see so that was their plan all along.' Now normally it would be easy to mistake Sakura's surprise attack as a last-ditch effort to pass and done solely on her own, but the thin layer of chakra over her confirmed that she was working with the other two.

Thinking back to when Naruto first cast the jutsu. 'He cast the jutsu on Sakura while doing himself and Sasuke and then Naruto and Sasuke engaged me so I would let my guard down at the last second.' It was a beautiful plan and would have worked had his headband not been blown off from that last jutsu. With his Sharingan revealed he could prevent her from getting the bells by making the best possible move.

'Sorry guys, but after all you put me through I want to give you at least a little scare.' With Sakura closing in Kakashi moves his hips planning to grab her as soon as she got close to the bells.

But at the final stretch Kakashi froze, his body refusing to move as he commanded it to. 'What?' From the corner of his vision Kakashi catches a white glow coming from his right arm. Stuck on it was a small piece of paper with an odd symbol on it, it looked like a circle with points on the top, bottom and sides of it, then what looked like a four-pointed shuriken making a cross over it, finally in the centre was what appeared to be a kunai with three blades. Kakashi had memorised many seals in his time, but never seen one like this before. He channelled chakra to the seal to disable it, but it was far too late.

ding-a-ling! ding-a-ling!

At the sound of the bells moving the alarm of the clock sounds, Kakashi watched in slow-motion as Sakura with the bells in hand fly by him, Naruto and Sasuke smiling, victory was theirs.

"I lost…" With that, he closes his Sharingan eye and the slow-moving Sakura suddenly zoomed off getting caught by her teammates who congratulated her on a job well done.

After getting the bells Kakashi drags the group to the memorial stone.

"Alright, you got the bells, but which of you are going to pass." The three just smile Sakura and Sasuke each holding a bell with Naruto in-between them.

"Come on Sensei we figured out that getting the bells wasn't the true test and besides after everything that happened we either all pass or we all fail." Sakura jingles her bell after saying those words.

"She's right, neither of us would never have gotten the bells on our own, I'm not going to pass if it means those who helped me get left behind." The usually brooding Uchiha smiles, his so-called useless teammates having earned his respect.

"Ah so you guys did figure it out, your right though the whole point of the test was to have you overcome your odds and work together despite the fact it would mean one of you doesn't pass. Huff you guys really take the fun out of it, failing incompetent genin who couldn't figure it out was the fun part." Kakashi pretends to sulk, but on the inside, he was happy, getting the bells was very rare as a matter of fact the only reason got the bells from his own sensei because Minato-sensei let them after showing teamwork. But this was different he tried, not to let them get the bells, but in the end, they overcame all odds and surpassed his expectations.

Sasuke and Sakura felt sweat on the back of their heads, in truth neither of them figured it out despite being two of the smartest people in their graduation class. No, it wasn't them, but the class clown and black sheep that revealed the truth behind the test.

"Yep and you owe it all to me, I think I deserve to be treated to some ramen." Naruto gloats pointing to himself, his two teammates remained quite knowing he was right as infuriating as it was. They need to make sure to shut the blond up with that ramen otherwise they will never hear the end of it.

"Well before you pass I need to explain the reason behind this test, this stone before me has the names of villages greatest heroes on it. Each one of them someone who gave their lives for the village. Some of my closest friends are buried here." A solemn tension feels the air everyone taking in the seriousness of those words.

"Listen all of you this is your first lesson, working together is the only way you're going to survive. In the ninja world, those who break the rules are trash, that's true, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash. Even if you're criticised for it, I want you to never abandon one another and make sure to make it home alive."

Three genin took his words in deeply, Naruto the most of all. He couldn't help, but think Kakashi a hypocrite, trash who abandoned him. But he wasn't the worse unlike the rest Kakashi never had an obligation to care for him and in the few interactions they had the Jonin treated Naruto fairly. Yet in the end Kakashi still favoured Naruto's siblings over him, he joined on the training sessions never questioning his absence never caring enough to check on him. When Naruto heard Kakashi's words he could feel the emotions behind them and this left him conflicted, he mourns for those who were lost and wants to prevent from happening again. He wasn't a bad guy, but that didn't make the anger Naruto felt for him go away in the end Kakashi was still among the people that left him alone.


After the Test the Hokage Office


Minato was dealing with the bane of all Kage's as he felt a presence from the window. "You know I really need to stop leaving that open so you will use the door for once." He smiles turning to see his last remaining student and his sharp eyes widen so much that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between him and Naruto.

"Yeah well I learnt everything from." Kakashi eye smiles before noticing his sensei's shock face and looks down at what was left of his clothes.

"Oh, this well funny story behind this." Kakashi jumps off the window sill. "But I think I'll some it up with the least embarrassing report that team 7 have passed!" If it was possible Minato's eyes seemed to grow wider.

"And not only that, but really Naruto was something else. At first, I felt short changed at the fact that you didn't give the twins, but boy was I wrong not only only did they put me thorough the ringer, but they also managed to get the bells." Kakashi says happily, looking forward to his new team, Minato on the other hand seemed like a gapping fish.

"But really Sensei you've been holding out on me with Naruto, he's just like you I can see why you hid it the boy is a genius." With that Kakashi waves the papers for the team's registration leaving them on the desk before vanishing from the room.

Minato picks up the papers conflicted with the fact that his musuko passed, on one hand he was delighted that his his musuko did so well on the other it also meant that the battle between brothers was going to happen. But more than anything was the ominous feeling Kakashi's words.

"Surly Kakashi was just exaggerating, because his my musuko, I mean there's no way Naruto could be a match for Menma and Akami." He told himself, but he was going regret those words for the time where Naruto true strength will be revealed was coming closer.


Author's Note:

Damn look like I won't make and it will be a new month by the time I upload this, sorry about that. I did try and get it out sooner, but been busy and I realised that I was missing a part that I had planned only midway through proof reading so I had to add even more.

Now I know I mentioned that I would show a nicer Sakura in this fic, so I made her the like the ace in this chapter, even though she does nothing else. Reason being I am a firm hater of Sakura getting sudden power ups or gaining Tsunade chakra enchanted strength faster than you could click your fingers like most fics do. Tsunade had no reason to take Sakura as an apprentice in the first place in canon other then the fact Naruto and Sasuke were both getting training from a sannin. And worse yet they let the fact Kakashi says she was genjutsu type go to waste by making her a clone of Tsunade. I am not going to do that and am moving as far away from canon Sakura as I can. At the moment I am thinking of giving Sakura of a more genjutsu build which won't be shown till the Chunin exams and maybe after give her elementally jutsu so I would like your thoughts on that.

Below are Naruto's jutsu used this chapter and some not used, but are kind of important with descriptions in case no one is fairy tail fan. I also had like two original moves so I explained them as well.

Tenryū no Saiga(Sky Dragon's Crushing Fang) – The user cloaks one of their hands in a whirlwind and strikes the target with their fingertips, leaving behind a trail of wind.

Tenryū no Saiken (Sky Dragon's Crushing Fist) – Wind is concentrated around the fist and then released at impact increasing the blunt force damage and blowing the target back.

Tenryū no rasenken (Sky Dragon's Spiralling Fist) – Another version Saiken however instead of just focusing wind to the fist rotation power is added to it causing the fist to be clad in a whirlwind. While the blunt force damage is reduced the technique makes up for it with its drilling and cutting power that rips anything it touches into shreds. This Jutsu is a Naruto original.

Tenryū no Yokugeki (Sky Dragon's Wing Attack) – The user generates a large whirlwind from each of their arms, which twists and rotates to attack the targets in the surrounding area.

Tenryū no Hōkō(Sky Dragon's Roar) – The user quickly gathers and releases a large quantity of air from their mouth in the form of a tornado-like blast. he user is also able to combine this attack with a healing spell to counter an attack, healing the target.

Tenryū no Kagizume(Sky Dragon's Claw) – The user generates large winds from their feet while swinging their leg down on the target

Banīa (Vernier) – A supportive spell that, by chanting out an incantation, allows the user to temporarily enhance the targets' movement speed by surrounding them with Magical Auras. When cast, the target, and/or user, is able to hover around at their own discretion within said magical aura. It can be employed upon multiple allies, and also on the caster themselves. This spell can also be cast alongside both Arms and Armor.

Āmuzu(Arms) – After reciting an enchantment and generating a flat, elongated oval mass of Magic before their hands, the user surrounds the target in a quavering magical aura, enhancing their offensive power for a certain period of time. It can be used on multiple allies at once, and can also be used in conjunction with other supportive spells simultaneously, such as Vernier and Armor.

Āmā (Armor) – The user chants "Armor", which grants either the caster, or the target, enhanced defences for an unspecified amount of time. The spell can be cast in conjunction with Arms and Vernier.

And finally, there is a new addition to my recommendation for NaruHina fics.


Journey of the Three Failures

By: Kurouga of the Ink and Snow

A Story with epic length and a brilliant piece of writing. The fic follows the Naruto story where Naruto lost his fight with Neji and it greatly changes his destiny. The three MC are Naruto, Hinata and Lee, while each is classed as mc and have a large role in the fic, this story is more Hinata centric with her being the centre piece of the plot. All three of them are doing in way that is both believable and give a good view of their inner demons that canon never explored. Romance for NaruHina is more on the side, but what's in there really strikes home and is a love story that would make anyone giddy. Even though only around 30% covers the romance. The fic also has wide range of original jutsu shows new sides to all characters that you never got to see in canon, but can easily see them really being like that.
