Chapter posted 03/29/2008.
I hope you like this chapter.
The omake is a side story that will have some consequences in the main one.
"YES, YOU WON AGAIN, DAD!!", shouted a happy Naruto hugging the closest person to him, this time it was Sasuke.
"Release me, idiot!", yelled Sasuke.
"I-If I were a-at Naruto-kun's side n-now he would be h-hugging me...", thought Hinata sadly.
"Get off your hands of my Sasuke-kun!", yelled Ino to the other blonde.
"Aggh!!, I was hugging Sasuke!!", yelled Naruto realizing what he done, "Hinata, Ino, please stay near me next time my dad wins!", begged Naruto to the two girls.
"Like hell I'll let you hug me", said Ino leaving the VIP's seats.
"T-Then, N-Naruto-kun will h-hug me again...", thought Hinata turning red.
Meanwhile in the Arena
"The truth is that I wanted them pass out from a nose bleed...", thought Minato.
The Hokage headed to Minato.
"Arashi Uzumaki, do you want to take a rest or do we pass to the next match?"
"I'm ready for the next match, Hokage-sama", responded Arashi.
The Hokage proceed to check who will be Arashi's opponents
"Fourth match... five opponents... ANBU...", said the Hokage worried.
"Your opponents will be Bear, Rat, Cat, Crow and Chamaleon"
"Minato, you must be careful with those opponents, specially Bear", thought Sarutobi.
"I'll have to fight serious against those...", thought Arashi, "...I'll have to use some of the techniques I wanted to hide..."
The four ANBU appeared in the Arena in a swirl of leaves, all of them (minus Crow) looked confident.
Hayate shouted, "FOURTH MATCH, COUGH, BEGIN!!"
"HIZASHI!!", shouted Arashi while shooting a ray made of chakra from his palm at Rat, breaking his armor and sending him to the wall, knocking him unconscious.
Everybody was speechless.
"Did you like my jutsu?", taunted Arashi, "... I designed it with Hizashi Hyuuga years ago but I was not able to master it until a few years... it's a pity he didn't live to see the result of our efforts, but I named it like him in his memory..."
Whispers and murmurs were among the crowd, how many unknown jutsus have the Uzumakis?
Hyuuga Neji was shocked, "That jutsu was designed by Father?? I must convince that man to teach it to me!"
Bear was inmerse in his own thoughts.
"So it was true that he trained with Hizashi... This jutsu is a chakra ray shoot at high speed and with great impact force", thought Bear looking at the unconscious Rat, "The main weakness of the Hyuugas is that we are close range fighters, with this jutsu at our dispossal...", he was interrupted by Arashi's cries.
"HIZASHI, HIZASHI, HIZASHI!!", shouted Arashi while shooting his rays.
However this time his opponents were ready for the attacks and they were able to dodge them by inchs.
The missing rays left circular holes were they hit.
"Tchk, I can't waste more chakra with these... and there is a big chance to hit somebody of the crowd if I miss... Neither I can try to keep close to them because there's a big chance of the ray killing or crippling them at short range", thought Arashi.
His thoughts were interrupted by the the elemmental attacks of Cat and a reluctant Crow while Bear attacked with kunai and shurikens with an aim that only the owner of a doujutsu could have.
The stadium was overwhelmed by the explosions, the place were Arashi was became a huge hole in the Arena.
"Uuups, we overdid a little...", said Cat with his behind is neck.
"It couldn't affect him! He must be somewhere!", shouted Crow keeping on guard.
Hayate looked at the sky, everybody followed his example.
Arashi was floating with some clones, writing something in tags, Crow noticed that he was charging them with huge amounts of chakra.
"He is creating explosive tags!!, we can't let him finish them!!", shouted Bear.
They attacked him with shurikens, kunais and elemmental attacks, Arashi created a barrage of clones to block them.
When the smoke dissapeared only remained one Arashi floating in the sky with kunais equipped with explosive tags.
"Feel the wrath of my improved explosive tags", said Arashi.
Arashi bombed the ANBU obviusly not trying to them so they were able to dodge them all, however the explosions had the doubled the power of the normal explosive tags, making it very hard to them to dodge all.
Soon the Arena looked like a devastated battlefield, the ANBU started they counter attack with their own range attacks. Unfortunately for Arashi he didn't have the same maneuravility flying that he had in land so he had really trouble avoiding all the attacks.
Then some of the shurikens he dodged almost hit a kid of the crowd, luckily for the kid Asuma blocked them.
Minato landed in the Arena realizing that the aerial combat was a risk for the public.
"Why he landed?", asked Chouji, "he was dominating them with that tactic, munch..."
"He realized that the missing attacks at him would hit the crowd, as a ninja of Konoha he can't risk the lives of it's inhabitans", responded Shikamaru.
"You love the village and it's people more than you think, Minato", thought Sarutobi happily.
"Amazing, he was able to improvise explosive tags in the middle of the battle, and those tags doubled the power of the ussual ones; only Seal Masters can do that... Why we didn't know of that ninja before?", thought one of the judges.
"Naruto, watch this... one of the jutsus that your future self created", thought Minato looking at his son.
Arashi made the hand seal of the Kage Bunshin, a explosion of smoke followed, when it cleared there stood Minato alone.
"Ha, ha, ha, he failed!", mocked Cat pointing with the finger.
Then he stopped laughing, keeping freeze in the position.
"I can't move, someone is grabbing meee!!", yelled.
"HIZASHI!!", shouted Arashi again, hitting Cat and making his suffer the same destiny as Rat.
Bear looked surprised, then he gave a kick to the ground sending a wave at sand to Crow.
But surprisigly it didn't hit Crow, the sand covered some figures which looked like Arashi.
"He is using invisible clones!", said Bear "He used then for inmovilize Cat and hit him!"
"Fuuton clones...", said Arashi dispelling them, "Being made of air makes them invisible and they don't leave traces, they have the drawback that they require insane amounts of chakra even for a jonin... only your kind can see them don't you... Hyuuga?"
Bear took the Jyuuken fighting stance.
"Then there's no need to hide my true power...", said Bear, then he looked at Crow, "Crow, don't intefere with us"
Crow didn't protest.
"Perfect, without Ebisu interference I will beat this one easily...", thought Arashi with a smirk under his mask.
Arashi took out two kunais from his pouch.
All ninjas paled when they saw that those kunais were tree pronged ones.
Bear noticed that Arashi focused wind chakra throught the kunais, increasing their reach.
"He is using the same technique than Asuma with his knives...", thought Sarutobi relieved, "... for a moment I thought he was going to blow his cover... now those tree pronged kunais with extended reach and sharpness because the wind will be terrific weapons"
Arashi and Bear began to fight. Bear had no choice but to fight in the defensive avoiding Arashi's attacks because the advantage of reach, he also couldn't block if he didn't want to lose a finger.
Hyuuga Hiashi smiled, Arashi's opponent already defeated opponents who tried to use elemental enhanced weapons against him.
Bear left an opening , Arashi tried to take advantage of it but it was a trap.
"KAITEN", shouted Bear, sending Arashi throught the skies, losing the kunais.
"It wouldn't happened to me with my knives with holes for the fingers", thought Asuma.
Arashi was able to land on his feet, only to find Bear waiting for him.
"You are on my range of divination!", said Bear.
"SHIT!!", thought Arashi.
People saw all the fury of the Hakke Hyaku Nijuu Hachi Sou (128 points of chakra)(yes, I used a Naruto's guide to write it)
over the black cloaked figure.
"126, 127, 128!!", shouted Bear finishing his move.
"You are really an impresive opponent, Uzumaki-san, but as you can feel the Jyuuken style his invincible", said Bear with his arms crossed.
"I feel nothing, Hyuuga-san, however Crow was not so lucky after receiving your attack", said Arashi in the place where Crow was before.
Bear was shocked noticing that he beat up his partner.
"I see...", said Bear regaining his composture "... you used that enhanced Kawarimi of yours to switch place with Crow"
"Yes, I'll apologize to him later, now prepare to lose, KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!", shouted Arashi making his clones charge
"It won't work against me, KAITEN!!", responded Bear destroyin the clones.
However, while Bear was spinning destroying the clones, Minato flew over the Kaiten dome with a swirling sphere in his hand.
"He spins clockwise, like those who receive the jutsu I will use...", thought Arashi.
"RASENGAN!!", shouted Arashi.
The flying blonde made hit with his dear jutsu in the center of the dome.
There was a tremendous chakra explosion for the consecuence of the confronting of the two A class jutsus, one made for attack, the other made for defense.
The crowd closed their eyes as consecuence of the light generated, when they were able to see again, they saw Arashi landing with some bruises.
By his part, Bear was intact, people would say that he won the confront if it were not for the fact that he had almost all his body buried in the ground, only leaving the head and the shoulders out.
"He turned our best defense against him, using the Rasengan to make the Kaiten drill the ground harder!", thought Hiashi horrified, "Why the hell is he looking at me now!?"
"Well done Dad, you are the best!", cheered Naruto thinking that his father was looking at him.
"Bear was as strong as Hizashi, how strong are you, Hiashi-san?", thought Arashi looking at the other clan leader.
He headed to the trapped ANBU.
"T-This i-is imposible", babbled Bear.
"You're intact?, the Jyuuken style is really invincible... men not... I'll look forward our next battle Bear-san", said pinching Bear in the neck knocking him out.
Arashi proceed to unbury Bear, when he finished he noticed that something was out.
"I was supposed to fight five ANBU, where's the fifth?", asked Arashi.
"Just waiting of yourself being tired enough to fall in my trap Uzumaki-san...", said Chamaleon materializing before him.
"You abandoned your partners!?", asked Arashi.
"First: They are not my partners...", responded Chamaleon.
"Second: You already fell into my genjutsu, prepare to revive your worst memories..."
"What the... NOOOOOOOOOOO!!", cried Arashi.
The last thing he saw before entering the nightmare were the Sharingan eyes that the ANBU had behind his mask.
(SORRY IF YOU DON'T LIKE CLIFFHANGERS... SEE YOU NEXT WEEK).
OMAKE: IRUKA: THE TEACHER'S WAY
This happens four days after Minato's return, Minato have told Sarutobi more things about the future.
Umino Iruka left the Hokage's building after the talk the Sandaime gave to Teuchi, the jonin Hatake Kakashi, two ANBU and himself. He still couldn't believe the story of the resurrected Yondaime, not only coming back from death but also from the future.
The two ANBU didn't tell anything but it was obvius that they were shocked, specially that one who called himself Yamato when the Sandaime told that the Yondaime met the Shodaime in the other world.
Teuchi asked for an aspirin.
Kakashi tried to strangle the Hokage for not telling him that Naruto was his sensei's son, he said that now he couldn't look at his sensei's eyes without feeling like a traitor for not taking care of Naruto. Iruka had to help the ANBU keeping the Copy Nin in place. The Sandaime explained him that he had to keep Naruto's true heritage hidden for his own security, if he had told Kakashi that Naruto was Minato's son he would have asked for his custody and Minato's enemies would had suspected of a teenager taking care of a boy who looked like his deceased sensei. Sarutobi also reminded Kakashi that he was assigned to watch secretly for Naruto in his first years, so he never betrayed his sensei.
Kakashi was finally convinced when the Hokage promised him that he will lend him the "proofs from the future" that the Yondaime brought.
Crow didn't seem totally convinced and asked for one of the books for check in private if it really came from the future.
(Closet pervert...)
Iruka was relieved to know that things would go better for Naruto until the Sandaime told them about Sasuke's defection to Orochimaru and the group of S class criminals going after the Kyuubi.
The chuunin headed to the place where he was told that the Yondaime was training Naruto, what he saw left him speechless:
In one place there was a group consisting of dozens of Naruto's clones (SOLID CLONES!?) doing the tree walking exercise with success.
In other place there was another group of clones trying to do the water walking exercise, they almost had the exercise mastered.
He also saw a group of Narutos studying diligencly the same book, the pages of that book were divided among the clones.
There was a group of clones who were throwing weapons to another group with clones who were trying to avoid the weapons.
Finally there was a group of clones who were fighting with taijutsu among themselves, trying to dodge instead of blocking like Naruto usually did, he also noticed that each clone had a better fighting style than Naruto.
"What do you want Iruka-san?", asked Minato, appearing behind Iruka, "... came to check my son's progress?"
"N-Namikaze-sama!", responded Iruka surprised, "... I-I didn't want to spy you... I'm o-only concerned for Naruto..."
"I know...", said Minato, "... as you can see Naruto is receiving a special training using the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu."
"B-But how can Naruto use that jutsu?... I thought it was only for jonin... And how can he perform that exercises?..."
"It's a story that probably you won't like...", said Minato, "...perhaps you don't know that Naruto's capacity..."
Minato gave Iruka the same talk he gave Naruto when they started his special training knowing that Iruka won't take it very well but he didn't expect what happened next.
Iruka took off his chuunin vest and Konoha forehead protector and kneeled before Minato.
"H-Hokage-sama f-forgive me! As Naruto's teacher I should have noticed that he had more chakra than most ninjas and gave him the suitable training he needed. In my fooliness I gave him the same treatment as the other students and because that he became the deadlast when he should have been the most promissing student. Now everybody thinks that he is a failure and laughs when he talks about his dream of being Hokage... I-I'll go to the Hokage and give him my resignation as teacher and as ninja...", said in the verge of tears.
"Stop whining!", shouted Minato, "you're a good teacher!, one of the best that Konoha's Academy would never have!, good teachers give the same treatment to all his students, they don't play favorites. Good teachers love their duty and want to do the best for their students, look at you: you are ready to resign because you think you are a bad teacher. The fault is in the Academy teaching methods, not in the students or the teachers, if those methods focused more in chakra control and if the students received periodic chakra level checks nothing of this would have happened. Now put back your vest and hitai-ate", ordered the Yondaime.
Iruka obeyed, and regained the composture.
"However I still fell guilty for what happened... if I were a better ninja I would have noticed it earlier...", said Iruka sadly.
A light turned on in Minato's head.
"Then you should train and get enough skill and power to become a jonin", said Minato ,"with a jonin in the Academy the students will have the best preparation for their future ninja careers, not only that but also they'll have a better protection in case of emergency... Yes, it's a fantastic idea..."
Minato then looked seriously at the teacher.
"Iruka, I'm disposed to give you a special training to make you worthy of the jonin, it will be very painful and there's a great chance of dying but you'll be able to become jonin in a few months, do you accept?", said Minato.
Iruka was too shocked to say anything: The Yondaime Hokage praised him and now was offering him a special training!
"I-I a-accept H-Hokage-same i-it is a honor...", babbled.
"Good", said Minato hidding an evil smile, "meet me after your class in the dango stand near the Forest of Death, you should go home to rest, you'll need it, now I must continue supervising Naruto's training..."
Iruka bowed and went home asking himself what kind of training the Hokage had for him.
Next morning Iruka met Minato in the appointed place.
"Ok Iruka, the first part of your training will take a few weeks, you'll improve your speed, dodging abiliy, your stamina,
your reflexes and your pain resistance", said Minato.
Iruka nodded, "Yes sensei, I'm ready"
"You have to do this...", said Minato starting his explanation.
With Minato's explanation Iruka's face turned from serious to confussed and finally to horrified.
"S-Sensei I-I can't do this... are you sure this is a true training?", complained Iruka.
"WHAT!? YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME!?", exploded Minato pretending to be upset, terrifying the poor chuunin "The Hokage used that training, Jiraiya used that training, Jiraiya made me use that training and you are going to use that training NOW!"
"Y-Yes, S-Sensei...", said Iruka heading to the dango stand, specifically to a certain kunoichi.
The customers of the stand watched astonished Iruka, the most well behaved chuunin of all Konoha, pinching Mitarashi Anko's butt; if it was not enough he told this.
"You know, baby, that is the most sexy ass in all Konoha...", said Iruka with a forced smile.
"You know, future corpse, this is the most sharp kunai in all the world...", said Anko without a smile.
In the next hours, while Iruka tried to survive improving his speed, dodging abiliy, stamina, reflexes and pain resistance, a part of him thought that perhaps resigning his job was not a very bad idea, however if he survived this session and the next ones he would bee a jonin in no time, another part of him thought that his involuntary instructor really had a good ass.
This is a really long omake.
Review, please.
