Author's note: Hey guys back again with the new chapter, I'm gonna be starting the chunin exam arc soon, probably get into it a bit this chapter but for sure next chapter will be the first part if I don't get to it in this one.
Naruto stared down hiashi extremely uncomfortable not knowing what more to say. "I see" Hiashi said before biting into his meal, Naruto now starting to heave into the food as a nervous habit, sweat dripping down his brow. "That was a very… interesting mission to say the least. But even I can tell you left a few things out, how exactly did you meet this Arashi character? I can tell something about him is off. I wish to know more" Hiashi said as his white eyes seem to stare into Naruto's soul just waiting for him to slip up.
Naruto swallowed his bite nervously before speaking, "Well you see when I found him I found out something about myself that I wasn't supposed to know" Naruto said as Hiashi's eyebrow raised in confusion, awaiting an answer. "I found him in the destroyed ruins of Uzushiogakure by mistake when I was swept up there from a strong whirlpool. Turns out I'm from royal blood there, my mother her name was Kushina, a shinobi here I'm not sure if you knew her or not. But she was a princess in the village, next in line to rule, me being her son makes me the next leader of the destroyed village." Naruto finally finished letting out the breath of air he didn't realize he was holding in.
"Again, very interesting. You sure are Konoha's number one most unpredictable ninja Naruto-san. To think that you had done so much in such a short time it's… very impressive." Hiashi said, extremely impressed with what the young boy had done. "Well it is growing late you should probably head on home now" Hiashi said ending the dinner. Naruto bowed and did his goodbyes before leaving the compound in a shunshin.
Naruto went home and changed his clothes into his regular ninja gear and wear. "Might as well train since I can't sleep" Naruto muttered before running off to the forest of death to start his survival training. Before entering the forest he added weights to his leg, "These should be as strong as lee's now… I hope" He said as he attached them with chakra so they wouldn't fall off. Before taking off he smirked to no one but himself and sprinted into the forest to train. He looked up and noticed that the sun was almost completely gone now, he knew that he was probably gonna get fucked up but it was worth it, he was gonna show those bastards who the real boss was.
Naruto started to slow down as he saw the webs. He walked in a little further and then completely stopped, he knew what was coming. "Bring it on you 8 legged fuckers" Naruto yelled as he used his hands to cup his mouth projecting his voice louder. Within seconds giant arachnids started to attack him from all sides. They were jumping at him, charging him and trying to web him down. Naruto smirked and took out two kunai and charged the spiders back and started to slice down the demons. A spider happened to land on his back and he quickly slammed into the tree back first making the spider explode, before he quickly twisted his body and kicked a spider away into three more. He quickly threw his kunai striking two spiders in the face, before turning and shooting off a fireball towards a group running towards him. Naruto saw he was quickly getting overrun and that it was getting harder to stop the spiders due to the darkness. Naruto quickly threw a smoke bomb and an exploding kunai and then jumped straight upwards. Before he could land on a tree a spider slammed into him and held him against a tree.
The jaws of the spider tried to rip his face off and Naruto did all he could to avoid death. He held the spider back with one arm and used his free hand to make a shoddy rasengan starting at the spider's abdomen, it was long before the monster flew off him and Naruto quickly started running while throwing multiple kunai back at the spider's.
"Fuck they're getting better at fighting me, well I can be better to" Naruto smirked before making the seal that made him famous, "Kage Bushin No Jutsu" He yelled making about twenty clones. "Ok everyone, CHARGE!" He yelled as everyone attacked.
Flashback
"This seems like a good secluded space to train" Naruto thought to himself before he smiled and unsealed his weights and attached them to his legs and began to train by himself.
About an hour passed and the area around where Naruto was, was pretty destroyed. Naruto decided to break for lunch and set up a fire to cook some ramen. He left to let the ramen cook and went to take a piss, upon his return he saw a pack of giant spiders destroying his camp… and his ramen.
"You moTHER FUCKERS!" NAruto screamed as an all out war between Naruto and the spiders of the Forest of Death Began
Flashback Over
Today's battle only lasted a couple hours before Naruto started to feel weary and decided to back out leaving in his stead a couple hundred clones to fight off the hoard of spiders.
"I really need to find the nest and kill off those female spiders, the way they reproduce is so extreme I will never win unless I go all Kyuubi on their asses." Naruto thought aloud as he ran out of the forest. Immediately following his exit of the forest Naruto crashed into certain purple haired kunoichi.
"What the hell brat you made me drop my dango, now Ima have to fuck you up" she said as Naruto proceeded to get up, but made the mistake of full on grabbing both of her breasts instead of the ground. A soft moan escaped her lips before she quickly grew more angry, "Now you're tryna cop a feel huh?! Ok now you're fucking dead no one grab's these without my say so, and you do not have that say so." She growled out, while naruto jumped ten feet back and bowed apologizing.
"I'm sorry ma'am I didn't see you I was training in that forest and then when I came out you happened to jump in front of me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm.." She cut him off.
"Wait you were in my Forest too? What the hell we're you doing in their?" She asked.
Naruto looked up and his thoughts were confirmed, Anko… God it's been so long since I've seen you.. Damn you Kabuto Naruto thought to himself. "I train in there/am at war with some goddamn spiders." Naruto said with a weak chuckle.
"Wait you're the one killing the fucking spiders in huge masses?!" She said wide eyed in disbelief.
"We'll yea… they kinda destroyed my Ramen so I declared war and every since we've been at war. The minute I enter the forest they search me out in packs of a couple hundred or more and attack me with whatever they got. I have to say they've gotten a lot better, I almost didn't make it today." Naruto said with a grin half laughing.
"The Name's Anko kid, no need to give me your name I already Know it… Naruto." Anko said looking at him with a smirk, before getting upset because it didn't seem to phase him that she already knew him. "Hey what gives with the face kid, don't you want to know how it is I know you?" She asked him hurt that she's not getting to this kid.
"You probably know me because of my little tennant don't you" He said plainly getting to the point.
"Ah so you know about it than? How's that exactly." She said acting a bit more serious since he brought up the subject.
"Long story, S class don't want to explain it, but let's just say that the kyuubi isn't the enemy you need to worry about. He's not even the enemy at all, but that's getting off point I'm gonna leave you with that" Naruto said with a smirk before using a shunshin to escape.
"Fucking brat leaving me with no dango and with more questions. Whatever, now where's my Kakashi hiding hehe" She said with a grin before taking off to the man's apartment in order to find him and re enact some scenes from his little orange book.
Elsewhere…
"The chunin exams are coming to konoha this year. I want you to infiltrate the exams and bring me info on the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki." A man said as he stared down his subordinate in front of him.
"Yes pein-sama, I'll make sure to have some fun on my own also, don't worry though I'll make sure their are no ties to you when I do it." The figure responded with a sadistic smirk, "It will be good to see the old monkey again"
"Do not do more than need be Orochimaru or else I promise your demise will be brought. This is your last time, you mess this up and there will be dire consequences." Pein said with a power of authority that actually scared orochimaru somewhat, making the man quiver in fear just a bit but also in excitement.
What it would be to have the power of the rinnegan.. My my Yahiko how lucky you are. If only I trained you instead of jiraiya your eyes would be mine right now. "As you wish pein-sama" Orochimaru said before quickly leaving the hideout to go make preparations starting first in the land of wind, better known as the sand village.
Back in konoha
Naruto stretched his arms as he woke up. It had been about a week since he had come back to the village and nothing had happened, no missions, no seeing his teammates nothing. All he's done is his intense training against the spiders, his personal war. He's been getting closer to finding the nest where all the females are kept hidden so as to reproduce more spiders by the thousands. Even though they take a few years to get to a deadly size that's still a lot. Naruto knows before he showed up there numbers weren't insanely high to begin with because they had no reason to mass reproduce but since he showed up five years ago he knows that it will only get worse and now he needs to finish off the nest because soon there will be thousands of spiders that will be ready to fight and that's too many.
But anyways that didn't matter today, today he meets back up with his team for some real training. Naruto quickly got up and prepared a shower for himself while throwing a pillow at Arashi, "Oi! Wake up ya bastard." Naruto yelled at the man.
Arashi got up, "What the hell" He said throwing the pillow back.
"Make some breakfast for us I'm gonna shower I have a team training today and I'm sure you're gonna want to join." Naruto said as Arashi groaned and got up for the day.
"It'll be ready in twenty Naruto-sama" Arashi said standing up and getting dressed.
Naruto was happy he was breaking Arashi in and making him more normal but he was getting tired of being called -Sama all the time. That and Arashi keeps threatening the populace every time they give him a dirty look.
The two hurried and got ready, ate and left for the team meeting at training ground 7. Naruto arrived and as usual Sasuke and Sakura were already there. As expected Kakashi was not yet, but should be soon since Naruto waited about 2 hours.
It was only about ten minutes before Kakashi appeared, "Yo" he said with his eye smile as the four came to attention. "Glad to see you all-" He was cut off.
"YOU'RE LATE!" A screaming banshee yelled making Kakashi (and everyone else) cover their ears in pain.
"Good to see you also Sakura-san, now please shut up because this is actually important to everyone here besides Arashi." Kakashi said, which made Arashi narrow his eyes in confusion and disapproval. "These" he took out three pieces of paper, "Are chunin exam forms." He said in all seriousness.
The three genin widened their eyes as they took the papers into each's owns hand. Sasuke smirked and so did Naruto, while Sakura's eyes showed immense worry and fear at the paper she was holding. "Do you really think we're ready for this?" Sakura asked her voice shaking slightly.
Before Kakashi answered Sasuke said his point, "If you aren't ready then get out, I'm ready and the dobe here should at least help a little.
Once she heard Sasuke's response her mood did a complete 180, "You're right we should be ready I don't know what I was thinking. I'll help you out don't worry" Sakura said while her inner self was yelling back, "Cha!"
"Well since that's settled make sure to sign these yourselves and report to the academy room 301 at 9 a.m. in four days." Kakashi said with an eye smile as they realized the deadline was in less than a week.
"Kakashi-sensei what should I do with Arashi? It's his job to protect me and I'm sure he won't want to leave me to fend for myself in such a dangerous exam." Naruto said/asked Kakashi.
"We both know you'll do just fine without him in the exams, including with your friend. You should have no worries, but for now you deal with it. Ja Ne" He finished with a half assed goodbye and using a shinshin to escape the situation.
"Figures he'd prepare a whole day just to leave us minutes after seeing us, lazy ass" Naruto said as he put his arms behind his head and started to walk away, loving the feel of the breeze on his skin.
"Where are you going dobe" Sasuke asked curious as to where his blond haired teammate was going to.
"Train" Naruto responded with one word. Arashi sighed and decided to leave since he knew what Naruto's training involved, but Sasuke was more curious as to where a lowlife like him would go to train especially by himself.
Naruto took off at fast speeds, Sasuke was barely able to follow them he quickly took off his weights Gai gave him and took off, following Naruto. Sakura just sighed as now she had nothing to do and couldn't even ask Sasuke for a date.
'Forest of Death' "What's he doing here" Sasuke said to himself being far enough away that the blond couldn't hear him. He made sure to carefully follow Naruto all the way to his training spot. Without even thinking he watched as his Teammate headed directly into the forest, cursing his luck under his breath he quickly followed in suit so as to not lose the enigma that was his teammate.
Why the fuck is he following me in here Naruto thought to himself as he headed towards his war zone. If he really tries to follow me I'll be forced to leave, I can't risk him seeing my true power or stealing any of my jutsu's. Naruto thought hoping the boy would leave him alone. Naruto quickly made a clone as he dropped to the ground below him hiding in the cover of the shade and watched as Sasuke started to follow the clone who went to an area that wouldn't be spider infested. The clone would just practice his Ka Ta's and maybe some basic wind jutsu's just to make them better.
While Sasuke followed the decoy Naruto got ready for war. He had a feeling today would be the day he found the nest. He knew he was getting close because the spiders started to attack with more viciousness and with more troops than before. He started by making fifteen clones and having them spread out around him so to keep an eye out for spiders while he looked for the entrance to the damned nest. Naruto quickly sprinted towards where he was before when he got attacked, his clones following him in a perimeter close enough to stop spiders from getting to him at least for a short period of time.
Naruto had barely moved ten feet before he was attacked by the biggest spiders that he's ever seen before. He knew he was close, these spiders were like something out of a summoning scroll, "Wind style: Wind dragon bullet" Naruto said as he shot out a wind jutsu at the army of spiders, taking out trees and a few dozen spiders. On instinct alone Naruto did a quick 180 and made a rasengan thrusting his hand forward, instantly killing the spider which had jumped at him.
"Fuck this is gonna be hard, Taju Kage Bunshin No Jutsu" Naruto said as about 800 copies of himself appeared around the area, and started to attack the spider army.
As Naruto and clones fought Naruto saw it. "No fucking way, and here I thought it didn't exist!" He thought to himself and quickly grabbed the item shoving it into his Kunai pouch before he got back to the battle. He took out a kunai and activated his new favorite Jutsu, "Kaze No Yaiba" he said as wind chakra enveloped his kunai. He quickly started slicing down the attackers working his way towards the cave entrance. Before he could take another step though he was shoved to the ground by a spider that had gotten behind him. Naruto's blood curling scream could be heard through the forest as the spider's fangs tore into his back, the beast trying to avenge his fallen brothers.
In another part of the forest
'Naruto? But he's right here..' the by quickly activated his doujutsu and noticed it was a clone. He quickly muttered under his breath and turned around sprinting off as fast as he could towards the scream, 'You better not be dead dobe' he thought to himself hurrying, he wouldn't admit it but he was genuinely worried that the boy would be in trouble.
Sasuke quickly hurried through the forest, he heard another scream followed by, "I'm gonna massacre all you fuckers" Sasuke stopped in his tracks as he heard that word. With new determination he took off faster, he had removed his weights by now to give him that edge and then he saw the battle field. Before he could process what had happened he saw Naruto on the ground with a spider bigger than him and Naruto put together with it's fangs ripping into Naruto's back.
In a blinding furry Sasuke activated the full force of the current level of sharingan that he could and attacked. He disappeared in pure speed before reappearing by the spider and with a kick as hard as he could muster he not the spider away into the treeline. The scene he saw was horrible, Naruto's back was ripped open and he was bleeding profusely, Sasuke didn't even think before he took his shirt off and wrapped it around the boy to try and stop the bleeding and picked up Naruto and took off towards the hospital.
"HELP" Sasuke yelled as he burst through the doors of the hospital. The receptionist looked and saw Sasuke covered in blood holding a boy who as bleeding. No one recognized that it was Naruto and the receptionist quickly called for doctors who grabbed the boy from Sasuke as he followed answering questions.
"Where was he when you found him?"
"We were in the Forest of death, and a spider bigger than me had it's fangs ripping into my teammates back. I knocked the creature away and brought him here, please help him!" Sasuke said as his worry overtook him. "Why do I care so much! What are you doing to me dobe, don't you dare fucking die!"
"How far in the forest were you"
"About 4 kilometers, now help him dammit, if he dies I swear to god I will bring hell unto this place, and you specifically" Sasuke said activating his sharingan for emphasis.
The doctor wanted to act like he wasn't scared but it didn't work, all the man could do was nod before he rushed Naruto into surgery with a few other doctor's and nurse's who came to help.
"Fuck, what was he doing in their all by himself, fucking baka" Sasuke said as he ran his finger's through his head while pacing back and forth. For the first time since his family was alive Sasuke was genuinely worried about someone else's life. "I can't let anyone else die, I can't fucking lose you dobe. I've lost fucking everyone I can't lose my frien-" Sasuke stopped talking as he realized what he was about to say. 'Friend? … since when is he my friend? How long have I seen him like this? Fuck what's going on with me everything's changing so fast!' Sasuke just screamed out as he sunk to his knees and grabbed his head. He was finally letting out emotions, emotions he hadn't know he was suppressing for so long until now. 'How the fuck are you making me act like this dobe? How are you making me feel so.. So human' as soon as Sasuke thought that last phrase he stopped.
When had he stopped feeling human? Why was he like this? Was it because of Itachi? 'No! No fucking more, I'm done. I'm not going to be a heartless bastard like you. I'll be better just you watch. I will find the strength with my…. Friends' friends, that one word felt so foreign, so alien to him it wasn't a word he had ever used. "I will be different from you. I won't destroy my bonds. I won't let you control me. And I WILL become better than you. Naruto will get better, and I will work with him and everyone else and I will be better and stronger than you. Then I will kill you when I have proven that I am better than you.' Sasuke thought to himself.
Sasuke lifted his head up from between his legs. How long had he been sitting their? He completely lost track of time. Sasuke looked up and saw it was already nighttime. He saw a clock and noticed that it had been 4 hours already, Sasuke got up and decided to go find the doctor. He hoped that by now Naruto would be out of surgery, Sasuke started to look around the giant hospital before he finally found the doctor.
"Yea as soon as I finished healing It I realized who I spent two hours of surgery on. So after finishing up I picked that damned demon up and threw him out back in the trash where he belon-" Before the doctor could finish his sentences, he and his two other colleagues felt a tremendous Ki radiating at them.
"What the fuck did you do" Sasuke said as he stared the men down his sharingan blazing to life, two tomoe now opposed to the one tomoe he had a week ago. "Because from what I heard the boy I asked you to save, you threw out and called a demon. Well if you wanted to meet a demon all you had to do was ask" Sasuke said before putting the three men in a genjutsu powered by his doujutsu that was so strong the men just screamed before blacking out. Sasuke got a worried look on his face and quickly ran out back to find his friend. Sasuke ran outside and saw Naruto still asleep (and thankfully breathing) in the dumpster. Sasuke picked up the boy and once more went into the front door.
Sharingan blazing he looked at the receptionist. "I want you to find a room for my friend and team mate Naruto Uzumaki then get ahold of our sensei Kakashi Hatake and inform him that me and Naruto are here and tell him to get here ASAP." Sasuke practically demanded. The receptionist was so fearful of the boy in front of her that she didn't even question his demand and did what he asked.
"H-hai Uchiha-sama" She said before she quickly got up and ran to get someone to bring Naruto to a room and properly hook him up etc. etc.
After about an hour Naruto was set in his room and Sasuke was sitting back in chair making sure no one came in to hurt his friend again. All of a sudden their was a knock at the door, "Yo" It was Kakashi, Sasuke sat down and motioned his Sensei inside. The man came in and locked the door behind him.
"What happened" Kakashi asked getting serious.
"I'm not sure I was following Naruto here and then next thing I know I hear him screaming, it turns out I was following a clone. I found Naruto screaming in pain with a spider bigger than you eating through Naruto's back. I knocked the spider away and brought him here. While he was in surgery I had a… revelation about myself and realized I needed to change, but after his surgery the worst thing that could have happened, happened. I found the doctor who did surgery on Naruto and was going to ask him about his condition but then I heard him talk. He called Naruto a demon and had literally left Naruto in the dumpster out back to die. So I put him in a genjutsu, he's lucky I didn't kill him, after that I made the hospital get him a room and now we're here." Sasuke finished.
As Kakashi had listened to Sasuke talk he noticed one thing, one big change. 'He cares… He genuinely cares about what will happen to Naruto, if I'm not mistaken it looks like this boy might yet have hope in becoming a better person. Not just an avenger. I'm curious to see where you will go Sasuke.' "I see.. For now stay with Naruto, try to get some sleep if you can. I'll be back later, I need to report this to the hokage." Kakashi said.
"Hai Sensei, also I found this on Naruto" Sasuke said handing Kakashi a scroll.
Kakashi's Eye widened in surprise before he took it and put the scroll in his back pocket. "You did good Sasuke, at this rate you will truly become a Shinobi that would make your parents proud… get some sleep now" Kakashi said before he turned to leave.
"You never cease to amaze me Naruto" Kakashi thought as he headed towards the hokage tower.
