I'm back after that evil cliff hanger. Just had to re edit the whole story because of my poor grammar. Here's the new chapter and plz tell me what you think. I know some of my ideas are quite out there. I do not own Naruto.

Whiskers and Lightning chapter 11

Samui had been observing the team the whole time herself. She wanted to see unity and teamwork, but so far all that was apparent was Naruto had taken charge. It was a little disappointing to see him take on the whole assassination part by himself but they still had time to redeem themselves. It didn't matter how well they did really as the test itself was redundant. The raikage had not so subtly hinted towards Naruto needing to pass after calling her in the day before. It would just be a lot easier if he did actually pass the test. Justifying it otherwise would be somewhat difficult depending on how it goes. She watched them talk before charging straight into the group of clones she had B make.

Not before Karui got all of their attention though. She was going to have to break that habit of hers, but she could see her trying to be quieter around herself. Watching them fight was actually impressive seeing as they were winning quite easily. That was until Karui had let one slip behind her long enough to raise its blade for its decisive blow. I guess I won't have to work on her volume after all thought Samui. That was until Naruto suddenly let a fox tail surround her, but this wasn't all bad because Samui knew she could spin this in a certain way. Perhaps say it was something about teamwork or sacrifice. Now that she thought about it that was actually a perfect ending to this. She could even explain how ninja's have to 'see through deception' or something along those lines.

She quickly made it back just before the others finished the rest of the clones. Watching Naruto destroy the last clone was quite entertaining. He could be so brutal when he wanted to be, but she couldn't wait to see him in the field against real opponents. Samui wasn't sadistic she just found a certain entertainment watching fighters like Naruto.

It didn't take long for them to arrive. They all looked so distraught at the thought of Naruto not passing. It was kind of cute. She decided not to keep them waiting too much longer, "You have all shown a high level of performance, but I'm afraid Naruto broke the rule he was given. I'm sorry Naruto but I have to...pass you all", she said. Karui and Omoi looked surprised while Naruto hadn't caught on yet. Probably not paying attention, but she couldn't blame him. In that position it's hard to keep focused.

It only took another few seconds for it to register in his mind, "Wait what?", was all he said. His face was priceless. It was a mix of both shock and confusion with an almost hopeful pout. How she wished she had a camera at that exact moment. She had other things to worry about right now though. For instance whipping out a speech as to why Naruto wasn't failed. She would start there, "You completed every objective while also displaying the skill and maturity required to be a genin. You also showed great teamwork at the end as well as responsibility. Despite breaking the rules you have shown you would have given up your own place as a genin for another. You were the unofficial leader in the test and took the fall because it was you who was responsible if something went wrong.", there was a few seconds of silence before anyone spoke. "Oh", was all Naruto said in reply. He didn't know these exams tested so much or were so in depth. The cloud took their ninja seriously.

Then Naruto realised something. They passed the exam so why was he not celebrating? Karui bet him to the punch, "YEAH! Team Samui is official as of now! WE ARE AWESOME!", she yelled. Omoi just smiled and gave a small, "Wahoo", but that went almost completely unnoticed under Karui's shouts. Naruto however had jumped at Samui and hugged her which she returned. The others noticed this and stopped their celebrations. Was their sensei...hugging Naruto? Karui still being hyped up ran over and joined in. Omoi however was content to just stand and wait for them to finish their 'moment'.

Naruto didn't mind sharing but did find it a little odd having Karui there as well. He still hugged her back though, but Naruto had to admit he did rather enjoy her being there. Whether it was the subtle yet sweet scent he caught from her or the soft skin that met his he indulged in it more than he had expected. Karui on the other hand was having similar thoughts. Damn Naruto must work out relentlessly to get these kinds of results and his skins so warm yet strangely firm. They hadn't noticed that Samui had slowly been pulling away, but she wasn't a jonin for nothing.

After both Karui and Naruto opened their eyes they both met each others gaze. Yellow met blue for only a moment before turning around and to their horror saw both Omoi and Samui staring back at them with smiles on their faces. Samui's was a bit more devious though. They quickly released before both blushing profusely at the contact with the other teammate.

Samui started to laugh a bit while Omoi's smile grew. Naruto tried to play it off as nothing by walking back casually but the pink hue on his face betrayed him. Karui quickly followed suit. Naruto's mind raced as it tried to find a way to spin this so it didn't look as bad, "When did you leave?", he asked Samui in an even tone. Her laughing had stopped but a knowing smile remained, "About the time you sniffed her and she started squeezing your biceps", she said turning them both red again with a vengeance.

They were both lost for words and half wondering why the other person had smelt or squeezed them. This time it was Omoi who spoke, "I'm surprised you did not notice your head no longer being supported by Samui's large breasts as you were only left with Karui's flat chest", Omoi mused out loud. Embarrassment turned to anger quickly as she turned around and started to beat Omoi while shouting, "I'm not flat chested I just haven't fully developed!", she shouted before punching him. After a couple more seconds filled of his cries she stopped and walked back to the other two. Samui could only think on how she got the strangest genins. Now that the awkwardness had passed Samui explained that they would be meeting her every day for training or missions around eight. B had also made an appearance as their pseudo-sensei since he too would be assisting or running the majority of the trainings.

The genins had been invited to eat with B and Samui but had declined. Both tanned genins wanted to go home and tell their parents about the test, but Karui also just needed to be away from Naruto for a while after their hug. He couldn't agree more so they all left quickly going their own ways leaving B and Samui alone in the training area, "Did you see all that B?", she asked and B nodded. With Naruto gone he was back to his favourite kind of communication which was rapping, "The sight of young loves such a heart warming scene, but that look in their eyes showed that their pretty keen", she had to agree with that one. It seemed like she had nothing to worry about on the issue of the 'divided team'.

Naruto had gone to another training ground to once again resume his training on the rasengan. Now that he had a working principle all he had to do was work out the kinks by training over and over. B had revealed the potential use of shadow clones to a jinchuriki, but until now Naruto wanted to have just done it all himself. With this technique though he thought it was the perfect time to try. After making them he commanded them to start trying to form the rasengan. Figuring that making 100 useless clones as opposed to ten sets of ten which were all progressively better than the next he decided to make ten clones. The first 3 sets didn't do very well but after that the improvement became visible.

He tried it himself; to his surprise it was a lot better already. It would seem the multiple rotations only grazed instead of head on colliding now. After every clone exploded he would make another and it continued this way until he had started feeling the effects of mild chakra exhaustion. Constant rasengan's and shadow clones had worn him down after the first hour, but now he had a weaker version of the rasengan which was a big step up from the exploding blue chakra ball. He dragged himself home now that he was happy with his progress, but didn't have the energy to do anything except sleep when he got there. As sweet unconsciousness took him he found himself in Konoha staring at the window which held the fox, "I have another proposition for you", was all the fox said. Naruto considered leaving but decided to hear it out, "What do you have that I could want unless you're interested in trading the ninth tail?, Naruto asked without sounding hopeful. It was a great strain to keep his voice under control, but really what else did it have to offer?

The Kyuubi's grin got wider, "I know your parents final moments", Naruto was about to take it when suddenly a thought crossed his mind. If the demon knew he probably killed them and would love to share it. Why make a deal when wouldn't have to? Although he hated to Naruto would once again try be patient and wait, "Pass, you got anything else?", at that the fox's smile dropped. Damn it the stupid brat! Now I will have to give something else up, but I guess it was a stretch to start with the fox thought, "I want you to put chakra into all your senses. It's been too many years since i have felt the thrill of a kill, but this will work just like the genjutsu you placed on your mindscape. I will do all the work and your sense will all take a big rise in ability. How is that?", the demon asked only to see Naruto's smiling face as It held an uncharacteristically devious expression, "Sounds like you just tried to give me the same deal for less.

Add something I like in and maybe we will have a deal, but it's a big maybe", the demon started to snarl now. It barred its teeth before speaking, "Why you little!", this was one of the deals the Kyuubi had wanted to make sooner than later because then his container would get the great shock of turning a little foxy. The boy was still growing and the exposure to all this youki constantly running through his body would serve many purposes, "Since you seem out of idea's how about my own. You can't use any of these deals to make progress on taking over me and that includes the last one", which forced the Kyuubi into quite the position. If he said no he might never get a deal again, but saying yes was almost painful after planning out getting all the chakra to the boys head. There still wasn't enough there to attempt a coup d'état of his mind.

It was heartbreaking but the Kyuubi had his decision. At least if he feigned ignorance he would still maintain the connection and possibly be able to find a way. Having all Naruto's senses would give him all he needed to know about the boy to find either weakness or an opportunity, "Fine now put the damn chakra up there already!", Naruto however was still a little skeptical. Who wouldn't be skeptical making a deal with a colossal demon of hate? "Side effects?", he asked. The demon just stared at him, "Apart from the enhancements it's mainly cosmetic, and before you ask its minor. It's not like you're going to grow a tail of fur. Having this much youki in your nervous system might raise your healing rate and basically make you immune to poison, but the healing rate wont b much higher small cuts in a minute or larger injuries in an hour unless they are severe. Then that will still be days", the Kyuubi said in an irate tone.

Why did his container have to be so skeptical? It was times like this he wish he had some idiot he could control, "OK I have put the chakra there in all of my senses but hurry because this is pretty hard", which was the main reason ninja didn't boost their senses all the time. It would take just about all your focus and chakra control which was impractical for a ninja life. The Kyuubi mixed and sustained the chakra their and Naruto couldn't feel the difference yet still being in his mindscape. Naruto woke up still in his bed it was still morning but he needed sleep.

Not too much had changed yet but he could see details a little clearer and as he ruffled his sheets it was like he could hear every individual fold as it rubbed against itself. Closing his eyes as they were starting to burn a bit, but now that he thought about it he could feel a small heat throughout his body. It wasn't long before he fell asleep despite the uncomfortable feeling that wrought his body. He had just hoped it would be gone when he awoke.

I hope that was all believable and made sense. I wont enhance Naruto's senses too much cause i don't want them to consequentially make him op. In saying that though jinchuriki's are like being an ultimate in the ninja world. Oh well plz review and until next time, catch ya.
