Pre-Test
In Konohagakure no Sato, it has been four months since Team Dojutsu has returned from the former Yukinokuni, now called Harunokuni. Just outside the village, in a large heavily wooded area, the tree population was especially dense, and convoluted with vines and different types of conifer. Rumor has it, this was one of Hashirama Senju's favorite places to take his new bride, Mito Uzumaki, the Shodai was definitely protective of his wife's modesty. Because of its reputation, this section of the Konoha Forest has been commonly dubbed the Forest of Love, officially dubbed training ground sixty-nine. Rumors say, Tsunade Senju, refuses to train anywhere near this forest, and the quickest way to piss her off is to mention the above rumor. A superstition among Konoha ninja, states that couples who profess their love in front of the Forest will have a long and happy life together.
On the exterior of this copse of trees, two thirteen-year-old boys were hopping through the trees, circling the exterior, looking wearily around the area. Both teenagers were on exact opposite sides of the tree stand, so they could not compare notes and help each other. They were playing an observation game called the Kim's Game. They travelled around the outside of the copse, the object was to train their dojutsu by training their observation skills and memory. Right now, their dojutsu were not active, because the dojutsu merely enhanced visual acuity, therefore they trained their regular eyes, so that when they activated their extraordinary eyes, they would be that much better.
They were nearing the end of their laps around the copse when out of the surrounding forest, a barrage of shuriken and kunai came flying out at them. Each of them received a separate fusillade of sharpened death, they began moving faster, dodging along all three axes, it helped that their senses were as sharp as ever, and one of them had a sixth sense. By the time they reached the end of their circuits, the trees surrounding them were festooned with stars and daggers. They were both in exact opposite positions from each other.
The one on the North, had sun-kissed blonde hair and violet eyes. He was average height for his age, with a nearly perfect height weight distribution. On his body, was a brown and forest green, tiger-striped, coverall jumpsuit, with flexible combat boots, and a double-edged sword strapped to his back, his boonie hat with crimson hitae-ate, normally squarely on his head, was hanging from his neck. As soon as he came to a rest at his starting point, out of the Forest of Love another body jumped down in front of him. His eyes widened to the size of saucers, because standing there in front of him… was his girlfriend.
Yugao's hair was done in bangs combed to just above her eyebrows, and draped like an exquisite, violette, waterfall down to her hips, she was not wearing her neko mask, giving her man a brilliant view of the most radiant face, he had ever seen. Her eyes bore into him like a hungry tigress, and he was her prey. On her body was a white, sleeveless dress, that fell to just above the knee, with a neckline that plunged to just above her cleavage and seemed to fit her like a second-skin. Her legs were bare from the hem-line to a pair of cream-colored moccasins that rose to the top of her calf-muscle, cinched tight, and definitely exhibiting the shape of her leg. She was wearing a coy smile, as she walked closer to Naruto, clan chief to the Uzumaki-Namikaze clans, heir to the Senju clan, and thanks to his dad's genes a Ward of the Uchiha. This means he has access to all Uchiha jutsu, up to B-ranked, and the clan compound at will, but is not allowed to wear the Uchiha crest, nor add the name to his, he will have the option of becoming a member of UP Force, if he chooses, but unlike all Uchiha it is not a requirement.
"He…Hey, Yugao-koi," Naruto stammered out, "w…what are you doing here," he asked as he gazed upon her form?
"I just want to spend some time with you, baby," she tells him, she reaches Naruto and grasps his arm, gently lowering it. Yugao slides her arm back up to Naruto's shoulder, while pressing her body into his, she brings her lips in to kiss him.
"Bamph," and Yugao's lips come in contact with a log, "KAI," comes a shout from behind her and another, "Bamph," and smoke envelops the form of Naruto's girlfriend! "Nice try, sensei, but my Yu-chan, has never, and would never call me, baby," he informs his sensei with a distasteful grimace at the term of endearment.
"Shit," Anko huffed once the smoke had cleared and she was back in her normal attire, "I thought I had you," then turning with an evil smirk on her face, "who would have thought that such a common term of endearment would give me away?"
Naruto returned the expression, "you should, sensei," he admonished, "you've known her longer than me." He opened his mouth to say more, then out of nowhere another person landed directly behind him, levelling a punch at Naruto's head from the rear. Naruto's reflexes reacted faster than he could think, by spinning his body outside the blow. Continuing in the direction of his initial spin, Naruto hooked his arm around the punching arm of his assailant, then added the force of the spin to the momentum of the punch. This action forced the attacker off balance, and into a new direction away from his sensei, Naruto added a tiny amount of his own power to the new direction and threw the attacker. All this occurring in milliseconds, anybody chunin and below would have been disoriented, but his assailant was a well-known jonin.
The jonin took control of his momentum, turning his body while in the air, which caused him to land a couple yards away facing Naruto. Naruto's 'attacker' was a silver-haired jonin, who over the course of the past four months, has become like an older brother to Naruto. Kakashi eye-smiled and said, "excellent reaction Naruto," then without altering his expression at all vanished from sight, but not to Naruto's other senses.
Naruto channeled chakra to his eyes, and his Rinnegan activated. The seven lines rippling in tune with Naruto's heartbeat. Once Naruto's Rinnegan activated, everything in his line of sight took on a much clearer appearance. It was more than that however, the best way he could describe his perception, was as if he could now see the truth behind all the lies, like a veil, denser than even kirigakure no jutsu, was lifted from his eyes. His Rinnegan, coupled with his other highly attuned senses, and his whisker sense, gave Naruto perfect awareness. While he was preparing for Kakashi's attack, Anko began quizzing him on the Kim's game. "On your second lap around forest sixty-nine, I want you to describe any differences from the first lap," she yelled!
As Anko finished speaking Kakashi began his attack on Naruto, hoping the act of remembering would distract his little brother-figure. "We ran counter-clockwise from our starting positions, therefore using compass points, I will list all differences between my first…" Kakashi came in for a sweep of Naruto's legs, "… and second circuit around the Forest of Love," Naruto jumped and flipped over Kakashi's head, while letting a barrage of kunai and shuriken fly at the Jonin's head. "From zero to 270 degrees, nothing within training ground 69 changed, between the first and second laps, outside the forest on the other side of me a couple of dead leaves had fallen from nearly every tree," Kakashi ran forward as Naruto's ninja weapons rained down upon his former position. "There was plenty of activity from wildlife, mostly those getting ready for winter, I counted fifty squirrels…"
Naruto continued with his explanation, giving a detailed report to his sensei, while fending off assaults from one of his surrogate, big brothers. Kakashi attacked while Anko asked questions regarding the game, so he had to concentrate on two things at once: what was going on in the fight, and whatever happened outside of the fight. It was clear from the get go that Hatake was holding back, not only was he an Elite Jonin, and former ANBU captain, with years more experience and power, but he seemed to be restricting himself to C-ranked ninjutsu.
Kakashi was running forward, and began going through hand seals, "Dotonjutsu: Yogore oyogu (Earth Release: Dirt Swim)," then leapt forward and dove face first into the ground, which acted like water, as it flowed back together leaving the area as if undisturbed. Naruto reached back and drew totsuka no tsurugi, then molded his chakra into raiton, then channeled it through the blade. Jumping into the air, he thrust his family blade, directly into the spot, where the jonin disappeared into the ground. The electricity was released into the earth, and it must have been a property of Kakashi's jutsu, because the ground again, seemed to act like water, and like sea-water the electrical energy propagated out from the focal point of the sword. Kakashi leapt out of the earth, just before the electricity reached him, he had only been at least two yards away from reaching Naruto.
Naruto pulled his family sword from the earth, with his left hand flicking it smartly from side-to-side, relieving it of excess dirt. While Kakashi was still reaching the apex of his jump, Naruto took a step into a spin, while swinging the blade in a horizontal slice; during this motion Naruto began molding wind chakra, then on the final motion of the spin, released a whirlwind, then quickly converted over to fire chakra, and on a horizontal back-swing, released the fire chakra. The wind and fire merged, creating a column of fire that reached up to the jonin, which had to be moving faster, than any normal human could react. Luckily, for everybody present, Kakashi is not a normal person, and kawarimi'd with a log, before the flaming inferno came near him.
Most people would be fooled into thinking that Totsuka no tsurugi amplified ninjutsu, much like the armor from the former Yukinokuni, now named Harunokuni (Spring Nation). That, however, would not be the case. What it does is aid the wielder in focusing his mind, which allows the casting of ninjutsu and genjutsu without hand-seals and words, and aids in Elemental Manipulation. While it aids in casting ninjutsu, its true abilities are better used for genjutsu, any illusions cast through this sword are as real as the dirt beneath your feet.
"…and just before I returned to zero, I began noticing a set of tracks, I recognized them as Sasuke's tracks, and deliberately began to step in them," Naruto finished his report to his sensei, as he and Kakashi came to a stop in their fight.
"Why did you start stepping in Sasuke's tracks," Anko asked?
Naruto sensing a few other presences approaching, all of them his precious jewels, took on a devilish grin, "because Sasuke gets lonely when I'm not around, and I wanted him to know that big brother was always there to look after the little guy."
As he said that, several people entered the clearing, and the 'little brother,' he was referring to, happened to hear what the blonde was saying, and just had to defend his pride, "eat my shorts, blondie," Sasuke growled! When Naruto turned to look at his best male friend with his normal eyes, he noticed a twinkle in Sasuke's own eyes, showing the humor he took from bantering together. Since, Naruto's wardship, the two shinobi have become as close to each other as brothers and being men, they refused to show any soft emotions to each other, in public at least. Thus, they took great delight in competing and bantering. One such joke made by Naruto, made light of the fact they were now actual brothers, clan brothers. Naruto, since he was born before Sasuke, treats him like a much younger sibling that needs protecting. Sasuke, is constantly picking on Naruto about his blonde-hair, saying he's the first Uchiha that could glow at night.
Affecting a look of surprise, Naruto turned toward the approaching six, all of them precious to Naruto in some way. There of course, was Uchiha Sasuke, "Hey, bro, we were just talking about you," Naruto grinned as if noticing them for the first time, standing next to him, were two other Uchiha: the Clan Heir, and older brother of Sasuke, and now Naruto, Uchiha Itachi, the strongest ninja of his generation; and Uchiha Shisui, known in the Bingo Book as, Shunshin no Shisui, because of his advanced use of that technique, which along with his use of genjutsu and taijutsu, make him one of the most formidable ninja in Konoha. The Uchiha were walking out of the Forest of Love, directly behind Naruto, until he turned toward them.
Sasuke has not changed much since returning from Harunokuni, he still wore the same outfit he wore to Naminokuni. The only change in his apparel was the object strapped to his back, along his spine. At first glance, one might mistake it for the hilt of a sword, and that would be only partially correct. It is a sword, but that's its secondary function, in truth the hilt is a dynamo that Sasuke can activate with raiton chakra. When pulled from its sheathe on the back, it looks like any tsurugi (double-edged blade), the blade is as strong and sharp as any traditional sword. Its only when he turns it to the side that you see any difference, because there are two separate blades, polarized north and south, which lead into the cylindrical hilt. The two blades are curved on the inside, creating a three-foot long hollow cylinder, attached to the hilt.
When Sasuke activates the weapon using raiton chakra, the blade begins to spin so fast the there is a small sonic boom, once the blade reaches top speed, it hums like a hornet. Then with a snap-hiss, an electrical field springs into existence, producing a blade that can cut through almost anything. This is still not the primary purpose of the weapon, because set into the cup of the hilt, surrounded by the magnets of the generator is a special storage seal created with the aid of Naruto utilizing fuinjutsu (of which he has achieved the Uzumaki rank of shodan – first level advanced – specializing in removing cursed seals in honor of his sensei, and secret girlfriend,), which can only be opened with raiton chakra. Inside this seal, thousands of senbon needles have been placed, and once at the optimum setting a senbon needle is fed into a receiver chamber, it begins to spin. Once it gets up to speed, with a pulse of raiton chakra, the senbon is shot out, it has greater penetrating power at long range, than his original concept had at close range. After four months of practice, Sasuke can hit a flying bird in the eye, and has become an advanced practitioner of Uchiha clan kenjutsu, Go Rin Ryu (Five Ring Style) kenjutsu.
The weapon is useless at close range, hence the swordsmanship, and his continued use of his jutte and sai, of which he also uses raiton chakra, not to mention learning the Chidori, and of course completion of his own Rasenyari. He has also been training arduously in his family's Interceptor Fist, and with his own expertise in Konoha Fuinjutsu, using gravity and resistance seals, he has increased his speed and reflexes so well that only his brother, and cousin can keep up with him, and only Naruto of the Rookies can even perceive, that is with his Rinnegan active.
Coming in from the left of their position, three kunoichi walked into the clearing, the designated meeting spot for Viper Team today. Entering the clearing, they walked three abreast, from right to left, Uchiha-Yuhi Kurenai, with fair-skin, and a slender build. She wore black, untamed hair that reached to her upper back, very unique eyes, that are red in colour, with an additional ring surrounding the pupil. Today, she wore make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eye shadow, and her regular outfit: consisting of a red-mesh, armour blouse with only the right sleeve visible. A very broad material, resembling bandages, with a pattern on it similar to those of rose thorns, which were woven into a spiral on her front and back torso, and resembled the Uchiha clan crest. Her hands and upper thighs are also wrapped in bandages and wore the Konoha forehead protector and regular shinobi sandals. She is Konoha's foremost genjutsu master, and second strongest taijutsu master.
A genjutsu prodigy, she is considered Konoha's number one genjutsu user, whose skills are said to rival even her husband, Shisui. It is said, that she is capable of discerning the truth in an instant, and luring enemies to a place far beyond genjutsu. She is not just a pretty face, she realized early on that some people are just impossible to place in an illusion, therefore she studied taijutsu with almost as much passion as genjutsu. Her style which she calls, Aikijujutsu, relies on neutralization of an attack using throws, joint manipulation, and striking of vital areas, and utilizing strategy and timing to blend with, and neutralize opponents. Many of the same concepts Kurenai uses in her taijutsu style, have made their way into Naruto's Dai Uzu style. Naruto and Kurenai, have had a few spars together, since his relationship with Yugao became common knowledge, and together they have refined each other's throwing methods, and techniques. That however, is not the extent of her taijutsu knowledge, she practices another ancient taijutsu style called, Hokkyokuseiken (North Star Fist), which uses the opponent's 708 Meridian Channel Hidden Points, destroying the opponent from within, they can also be used to heal, as Kurenai is also an isha-nin.
In terms of family, Kurenai and Naruto are as close as aunt and nephew, and since her marriage to Shisui, and Naruto's wardship, that relationship has only been strengthened. Kurenai-oba has helped me understand when Yugao-chan is upset, the serious aspects of our relationship.
In the middle of the three, walked Naruto's other teammate and sister-without-blood, Sakura. She has still not returned to her family, because they have not yet solved, the riddle of the kunai in the storage scroll. Naruto's pinkette teammate, has become a force to be reckoned with, through hard-work, diligence, and her own intelligence, the former fan-girl, has turned herself into a respectable kunoichi. Anko in edition to teamwork that all of Team Seven was taught, trained Sakura in Hebi-style, which trains for flexibility and precise striking, but that is not all, Team Viper's sensei has taught their resident isha-nin, dokujutsu (poison art). In truth all of Team Seven has learned about poisons, so they at least know what to look for in the event of a poisoning. It is only Sakura, that has immersed herself fully into the art, again with the aid of Naruto utilizing fuinjutsu, can use her gauntlet-claws to administer her poisons. Kurenai has also taken Sakura under her wing and trained her in both, Aikijujutsu as well as, Hokkyokuseiken, and has begun training Sakura in genjutsu. Sakura's medic training as with all medical ninja is conducted at the hospital. These skills combined with her medical knowledge, and chakra control have led Sakura to be called the deadliest genin in the Leaf.
Viper Team has become the strongest genin team in the village, mainly because they act more like a true family, than just people they work with. It has been an entire year since they became genin, and a stronger bond between teammates had rarely been seen since the founding of Konoha. Individually, the genin of team seven have become, near forces of nature in their own right, but together they have become nigh unstoppable, add in their sensei, who had just about completed her Snake Sage training, and they have crossed the threshold of invincibility. Each of them, has discovered and accepted their roles within the team. Anko brings the voice of experience, as well as a jonin's skills and power to a mission, guiding but not forcing her kids, as she calls them, to learn the art of the silent warriors. When a mission calls for a needle-like approach, or an intelligent know-how, or a soft-touch, or even someone to take point if they ever need to retreat, then Sakura is the one stepping up. Sasuke's niche is special weapons, and the devastating, strategic strike, the well-placed but utterly debilitating slash of the katana, and with his speed, reflexes, and instincts, is often called upon to scout ahead of the team, he is the one to cover their flanks in the above-mentioned retreat. If Sakura is the needle to the kidney, and Sasuke is the sword in the belly, then Naruto, is the sledgehammer to the face.
Naruto's near Sanin level chakra reserves, proficiency in ninjutsu, kenjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and fuinjutsu, not to mention the jinchuriki of the most powerful biju in existence (who according to the genin himself, are on quite friendly terms), make Naruto the powerhouse of Team Seven, but if that is not enough, throw in the most powerful and useful dojutsu, the Rinnegan; add in his Adamantine Chains, and two of the most successful ninja ever to come out of Hinokuni, residing in his mindscape, and you have a ninja that in a pinch could decimate an army, by himself. In the event of a retreat, Naruto will stay behind and halt pursuit by the enemy. Already talk circulates among the other hidden villages, of a genin of the Leaf, who can take out entire armies, enough to warrant a Bingo Book entry, and the name Shinku Uzu, has been spoken even as far away as Kumo and Iwa.
This was only amplified when word of his exploits in the former Snow Country, started making the rounds among the other Yōsonokuni about a genin of the Leaf becoming a hero of Spring Country, when he assassinated the former daimyo. This led to the exportation of consumer technology to the outside, by the new daimyo, raising capital to help her people, and the sole importer of military tech became Hinokuni. The Fire Lord began equipping his samurai army, with armor that could repel most chakra attacks and led to Kaen and Konoha Security Forces equipping their prisons with chakra-suppression devices, which did not require the use of seals.
Sakura reached her teammates, "hey boys," she said to them, "have they been putting you through hell too?"
Both genin shinobi slumped and just nodded, but Sasuke added, "I had Shisui and Itachi attacking me together," he whined, "all while firing random questions, about my laps around that forest over there," he informed his teammates while thumb-pointing to Training Ground 69. Then turning to his adopted brother, "and thanks to the glow-in-the-dark-Uchiha here, walking in my tracks, they've been ribbing me about you mother-henning me, they've been teasing me about needing a nursemaid."
"Aw, does wittle Sasuke, need his nappy changed," Naruto replied, in an overly cutesy voice? Naruto's eyes got huge when Sasuke lunged at him, knocking him to the ground. No ninjutsu, or even taijutsu, was used, they were not fighting or even sparring, they were just two brothers rolling around, wrestling in the dirt.
The third kunoichi to arrive with them, was a woman with straight, purple hair reaching down to her waist, warm brown eyes, and a shade of red lipstick. Wearing the standard ANBU uniform, with feline mask hanging upon her chest, consisting of black and grey armour, metal arm guards and twin katana strapped to her back, and signature ANBU tattoo on her right shoulder. Her name was Uzumaki Yugao, aka, Ultraviolet, ANBU call sign, Neko or Cat, Lady of the House Uzumaki noble of Hinokuni, and if the way she looks at him is any indication, the very much in love, girlfriend of Lord Uzumaki. Who was rolling around on the ground with Sasuke.
If Sakura had never noticed before, she could now say without a doubt, that this as of two months ago, recently promoted jonin ANBU black operative, was very much in love with her blonde, brother-without-blood. Sakura, with a gentle smile on her face, looked between the boys on the floor and the besotted young woman, then getting a mischievous grin asked, "are you sure you're ready to spend the rest of your life with one of these, Yugao-kun," Sakura asked flicking a dismissive hand in their general direction, "they hardly seem worth the effort? They can't seem to walk two feet in the same direction, without tripping over their own feet," she finished.
Yugao turned her head, and seeing the expression on the genin kunoichi's face, decided to play along, "it ebbs and flows, Sakura-chan," she replied turning to look at the two young men, who had stopped their movements. "At the moment, the needle is somewhere between, 'without a single doubt,' and 'can't wait to practice making babies,'" she watched as her boyfriend, got as red as his mother's hair, and she could not restrain the giggle that came from her lips.
Naruto and Sasuke slowly pulled apart, then they looked at each other, Sasuke giving him a slight nod. Naruto turned to face Yugao, "Uzumaki Yugao-dono," he began formally, "I see no reason for you to continue living in your apartment," he continued, and everyone noticed the set of his jaw, "will you please, come live in my unworthy house on a more permanent basis?" While genin could not get married, there were no laws that said they could not cohabitate with a person of the opposite gender, and while not a hard and fast rule, asking your girlfriend to move in with you was practically one step short of getting married.
Everybody was completely silent, and for the first time Yugao's eyes began to shine with tears, but as she cupped her mouth, there was no denying what her answer would be. Then after steeling herself and bringing out her ninja bearing, she said to him in just as formal a tone, "I see no issue with your request, Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto-dono," she answered and there was a tremor in his face, as he struggled to maintain his composure, "I've already got a room there at your place, and a lot of my things are already there, it would be more convenient to have all of my precious things under one roof."
Naruto turned to his sensei, and asked, "and you're welcome to help your roommate, and best-friend move some of her things in as well, Anko-sensei," he informed her, "I've recently gotten ahold of a dango recipe I've been wanting to try, and I could use an expert opinion."
Anko and Yugao shared a huge grin when Naruto said, what he said. There was no law forbidding sensei and student from sharing a meal off duty either, they simply could not become intimate. "You know the way to this girl's heart, Naruto-kun," with that Anko stepped forward and began addressing her other kids, "and that reminds me. Team Seven," she yelled, "Chunin Selection Exams begin in seven-days," she announced, "and I think you're ready to take them," she said passing out a set of papers to her kids, "if you agree with me, meet me at the Academy in room 301, in exactly seven-days, at 0800 sharp."
She saw the looks of excitement, and anticipation cross her kids faces, Anko suddenly became serious, "there is no shame or dishonor in sitting out of the Chunin Exam, because it is a very, big deal, and true courage, is knowing your limits and understanding what you may not be ready for, it does not make you a coward," she stated with unwavering conviction. "Training is concluded until we meet at the exam room, that should give you three, time to consider whether you feel you're ready."
"All other considerations should be locked out of your thinking," Anko said looking directly at Naruto. "Naruto, I know Yugao, would rather go on taking cold showers, and satisfying herself manually," she said with a salacious grin, and Yugao gave an emphatic nod of agreement, with a slight reddening of her cheeks, "than push you into something you feel you're not ready for. So, promise you will think long and hard before coming to a decision. Promise, that future living arrangements won't be a part of your thought process," Anko pleaded.
Naruto looked at his sensei, and at his new fiancée, with a very serious face, then shook his head, "No," then holding up his hand to forestall anything else they might say, "I can't make that promise, Anko-sensei," he replied stubbornly. "I can't promise the second request, because that would be breaking the promise for the first request," he explained to the women, he cherished most in this world, "it's impossible to truly consider this question, without including the most important people in my universe, you may as well ask the tides to stop, before I stop thinking about that. I cannot promise to exclude anything, while thinking about the Chunin Exam, but I will promise not to hang my decision on my fiancée's favor for me," Naruto finished, "is that satisfactory ladies," they nodded their ascent?
"Good, then I'm heading home," he said, before walking up to Yugao, placing his arms around her waist, he kissed her lingeringly and whispered, "Yugao-koi, you may begin moving your things over to my house as soon as you feel comfortable doing so," he informed his fiancée. Then glancing at his sensei, "and you may bring your friend, if she chooses to accompany you," Naruto kissed her again, adding a little passion to it, "I have… a gift for the both of you, when you're both ready for it," he whispered. Then stepping back Naruto went falcon, and soared into the sky, and flashing yellow, disappeared into the distance.
Sometime Later…
Naruto knelt in seiza position, in the dojo attached to the house. His eyes were closed as he meditated, keeping his mind clear of all thought, merely allowing himself to feel. This meditation served a few purposes, most not even worth mentioning, but the primary purpose was to learn to order his mind and harmonize his skills. With the upcoming Chunin Exams, which he did not even consider not attending, he needed to make sure his skills were synchronized, and second nature to him, so he would not be caught in indecision during a battle. His parents in keeping with their promise to not keep secrets from him, told him the true purpose of the Exam, as a substitute for war, and to showcase the strengths of the Villages to prospective clients.
Since his wardship, Naruto gained access to a stone tablet, which had been the treasure of the Uchiha since its founding, and could only be read slightly with the Sharingan, more so with the Mangekyō Sharingan, and only completely with the Rinnegan. A rudimentary genjutsu was found on the tablet that Naruto and Shisui removed, because of the nature of the genjutsu they kept a sample of the chakra that cast the genjutsu for analysis.
The tablet told the story of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of the Six-Paths, his mother, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, the mother of chakra and the origin of chakra itself. [Princess Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, was the matriarch of the Ōtsutsuki clan. She became the first wielder of chakra when she consumed the fruit of the God Tree. She possessed an incredible amount of power, utilizing all nature transformations, and wielded the Rinne-sharingan in the origin of the Rinnegan and Sharingan. It never said how to acquire the Rinne-sharingan, all it said was only a natural possessor of both could inherit it. Kaguya wanted peace for all mankind and used her power to take control of all nations, and ended the wars of her time, through her actions, she was worshipped as the Rabbit Goddess. She found love with the Emperor of the ancestor nation to the Elementals, Tenji, and had a son, Hagoromo.
Afterward, she became corrupted by her power, and resented her son teaching others how to use chakra. She deemed chakra as hers, and hers alone to wield or give as she chose, and eventually went to war with her son. She used a jutsu, called the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which only a Rinne-sharingan wielder can use, the ultimate genjutsu, placing people in a dream, which began draining them, turning them into husks with no morality, only devoted to their creator. Kaguya integrated with the God Tree, and transformed into the ten-tails, the progenitor of the biju. Hagoromo, sealed the monster's chakra into himself, making him the first Jinchuriki, and using the Deva Path – Chibaku Tensei, to seal away the body and that created the Moon.] This story has been added to the curriculum of the Ninja academy, the Hokage stating that to respect something one must learn as much about the subject as possible. The best way to do that was to learn about its origin, how it became the way it is now.
Naruto's eyes slowly open, just as the door signal seal was activated. Naruto rose from his position, and made his way through the dining room, down the side hallway to the entrance of his house. He opened his front door and smiled, there standing in front of him stood his fiancée and standing behind her, was his prospective girlfriend, and current sensei for Team Seven. "Yugao-koi, Anko-sensei," he said, while stepping aside to allow them to enter, "welcome home."
Both women stepped inside, while he closed the sliding door. Yugao wasted no time in grabbing her man and slamming her mouth into his, while sliding her arms around his neck. She thrust her tongue deep into his mouth, exploring and plundering his oral cavity. Ever since he proposed to her earlier today, she had wanted to drag him back to his or her current residence and make him take her. If not for my promise to Anko to wait, I would no longer be a virgin as of this moment, in any form of the word.
When he left Training Ground 69, she practically Hiraishined to ANBU HQ and filled out a change of address form, making Naruto's house her primary and only address. She also began paperwork, that would begin her Completion of her long-term mission, from the Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (ANBU) Corps, once the paperwork was completed and accepted, she would become just a normal Jonin, maybe even a Jonin-sensei. Once that was complete, she met Anko at their apartment, and began packing what was left of her kit, placing everything into storage scrolls.
Naruto was only surprised for an instant, but as soon as he was over it, he began returning her affections, as passionately as she was giving it. He did not bother merely wrapping his arms around her, he simply grabbed her firmly by the hips, and pulled her roughly into him, eliciting a grunt, then a moan as she felt his ardor, pressed directly against her core. Their tongues battled for dominance, and Naruto's action below, temporarily caught her off-guard, allowing her future husband to plunge his appendage into her mouth and ravish her. She would have retaliated if she suddenly did not realize, they were not alone in the house. Thus, using all their ninja training, and her womanly endurance when it came to sex, she pulled away from the man who owns her heart, noticing in passing that a strand of saliva still connected them.
Anko, had just watched them practically dry-hump each other, and by the look on her face: a mixture of tenderness, hope, and envy, was plastered on her face.
