Chapter 21 Chunin XV

I will strive

Disclaimer: Read the previous chapter for disclaimer

Summary Mizuki attempts to get the scroll early the result of Naruto's involvements could never have been imagined. Nor could they have imagined what Naruto would find inside that scroll. Now Naruto's life as a genin has begun, but how has he changed over the last six years.

Helltanz's notes: The violet-eyed Onsen 'genin' was Aoshi. Also more Rasengan techniques are revealed. This didn't really turn out the way I wanted it, but some more light on Naruto's past interactions. I am very happy at the number of positive reviews that have been submitted.

Chapter begin

Hi no Kuni, Konohagakure no Sato, Uzumaki compound or as called by the Onsen Shinobi the Satanii compound, or by the Suna trio the Yamazaki compound,

(Naruto didn't officially name it most of the non shinobi in the village call it the Devil's keep)

'This whole year is pretty much gone to hell.' Thought Naruto as he stared lazily at the target a bored expression on his calm features. Naruto pointed his finger. (Like Yusuke does for his spirit gun) "Shikato dama." A ball of black energy shot off the extended finger and hurtled toward the target. The ball impacted and shot straight through the targets heart. 'This is so annoying, why do we have to wait so long, he'll probably come to, kuso, he'll cause even more problems with his presence.' "Shikato dama Sanju." This time three bullets were fired in quick succession; all three hit their targets with lethal accuracy. 'I should have stayed in Onsen. Of course I did enjoy meeting Zabuza and I think I'm glad I met Haku its amusing training a pupil who is almost totally opposite to one's self.'

"Hey shishou."

"Konohamaru." Greeted Naruto as the young Sarutobi clan ninja jumped down carrying a living bone white blade staff. The weapon pulsed at its proximity to Naruto.

"I take it you completed the technique."

"Hell yeah Shishou." Konohamaru swings his staff, in that fluid motion the staff transformed, a blade emerged from the tip, signifying its first stage transformation at the same time a Naraku Rasengan flared to life. The dark chakra shot off like a sideways tornado, hence the name.

"No Inuzuka could match that eh Shishou?"

"Not bad, Konohamaru but there is still room to improve." Naruto's violet eyes flashed as his chakra sprang to life. "Naraku Rasengan Doton: Uzumaki." Naruto hurled his right hand towards a mass of carbon, very dense carbon. The Dark red and Black chakra swirled combining with earthen particles adding elemental affinity to the mix.

The elemental imbued chakra collided with the carbon target; resulting in a loud crash the dust settled revealing a completely destroyed target.

"Awesome."

"That would be stage two of the projectile form you have done well to master the Tatsumaki, now you must master the Uzumaki, then you will learn the Tyfuin. Albeit that was the elemental enhanced form of the Uzumaki, before you begin learning the Uzumaki learn at least one element of the Tatsumaki."

"That's really cool Shishou you can be sure I will learn them all the same, I'll learn everything I can so I can crush the enemy." Konohamaru prepared to go bounding off to practice the next level of the technique.

"Naruto-san, please tell me you aren't teaching the honorable grandson another jutsu?" Pleaded Ebisu

Konohamaru snickered.

Naruto nodded.

Ebisu face faults as Konohamaru demonstrates the Naraku Rasengan Doton: Tatsumaki or at least attempts to. The jutsu is mildly effective destroying almost a fourth of the densely compacted rock target, pretty good for a first time.

After Ebisu and Konohamaru leave.

"Jashin's blessing is strong in that one."

"Hidan." Greeted Naruto.

"Ni-sama." Replied the Akatsuki member in greeting.

"He is a fine shinobi and will continue to grow into one. Kakuzu didn't come?"

"The stupid money obsessed heathen did not, a pity leader did not let us kill the treacherous snake, or the greedy heathen for that matter." Grumbled Hidan.

"Let Shira have his pride it is his right given Orochimaru's betrayal, how fares the dawn."

"As you say, the organization fares well and your own?"

"Black Sanctum is fruitful. I trust with Nibi located it will make your job easier."

"Yes Leader was grateful for your aide."

"We have common objectives and we are like minded, it makes sense to work together. It has been a bit sense I last saw him though, he'd better not use that lame excuse again."

"I fear if he does not even lord Jashin would be able to save him from your fury." Said Hidan.

Flashback Onsen Iwa Skirmish

Naruto cracked his neck before swinging his sword releasing a blast of azure chakra annihilating a group of charging rock ninja.

A rock Anbu attempted to drop down and attack Naruto from the roof only for the large cobra coiled around Naruto to lash out and deliver a lethal bite to the elite ninja's throat while snapping the neck with a sickening crunch.

"Foolish human." Hissed the Cobra releasing a blast of flame immolating another squad of Rock ninja.

"My aren't you aggressive today Hoshimaru."

The Cobra boss chuckled, if a snake can chuckle. "Perhaps, though I wish there were more worth foes for us to fight."

"True." Naruto dashed forward cutting down three rock ninja with a single whirling slash.

"Satanii-sama." A squad of Onsen ANBU Tenchu appeared. "The port has been secured, preparations are in place to begin long range Doton bombardment at your command."

"Commence the attack."

"Hai Satanii-sama."

Ten minutes later

Chunks of highly dense earth, all weighing in excess of four metric tons, rained down on the Iwa positions half of which exploded into lethal anti-personnel shrapnel barrages while the other half destroyed Rock ninja fort like city pulverizing whole city blocks.

"You going to show yourself Shira-san?" Asked Naruto leaning against a wall observing the artillery barrage with what many would consider amusement.

"My apologies when I saw the snake summons earlier I thought you might be Orochimaru." Chuckled the auburn haired ninja dressed in Akatsuki robes.

Naruto sighed. "Humph that is such a pathetic excuse you used that the first time we met."

The ninja chuckled "Yes, well we hardly see anyone beside him who uses snake summons."

Hoshimaru gave an indignant hiss.

"Now, now no offense intended Hoshimaru-san, its just your contract isn't very well documented." Stated the Auburn haired ninja, raising his hands in a placating gesture. "So my counterpart how goes everything."

Naruto smirked. "Well enough, you won't need to worry about Ichibi and Gobi and I already dealt with Shichibi (That should be seven tails). Of course you already knew that."

"And the Kyubi is a lost cause being trapped in the belly of the Shinigami in front of me." Stated the Akatsuki leader.

"So really the only one we need to worry about is Hachibi, that traitorous snake, Orochimaru, whose head you have claimed."

"Well then you see you around. Alert us if you locate any of the other biju. I send a message if we need help sealing them, seeing as we don't have the traitor anymore."

"Ja ne Shira." Stated Naruto waving as he walked off.

End flashback

"I am so bored I wish leader had not paired me with that disgusting money grubbing heathen Kakuzu." Semi whined Hidan, clutching his scythe tightly before swinging the three bladed weapon in an arc slicing through a stone pillar style target.

"Yeah well it has its advantages neither of you can kill one another, well you could if you went into Shinigami I suppose, but Shira has his reasons."

"If you say so." Stated Hidan agreeably.

"Though I agree waiting is a major pain in the ass." Snarled the Hitokiri. "This exam is very much annoying."

Flash back

Hi no Kuni, Konohagakure no Sato, Shi no Mori, Tower

Eight o'clock in the morning

"Thank you all for coming, while complications have slowed us we have decided that we will proceed with the preliminaries." Announced the third Hokage. "That being said we will now begin the conclusion of the Chunin Exam preliminaries."

The now repaired electronic board cycled through names.

The next match has come- Akamichi Choji vs. Kinuta Dosu.

The match between Choji and the sound ninja Dosu prepare to get under way, Shikamaru shouts words of encouragement to Choji, while Ino calls out an insult in what appears to be a way to get Choji's temper ready for the match. Both contenders claim they will make the match a short one. Choji reflects on his knowledge about the Sound ninja from the previous encounter during the second exam and decides to use his family's famous multi size technique, Baika no jutsu, effectively turning himself into a huge human ball thus covering his ears and deflecting any potential attacks by Dosu on his ears with sound waves. Choji rolls around, using the Nikudan Sensha, trying to crush his opponent, but the pleasantly plump genin runs into the wall and gets stuck. Dosu then punches Choji and then taps his sonic device on his arm sending out a sonic wave throughout Choji's body. Choji loses his form and is rendered immobile. Dosu then explains that the body is made primarily of water, which transmits sound waves faster than regular air, which any one with half a brain knows. Dosu is declared the victor in this match. As he departs the match Dosu thinks to himself how he will prove to Orochimaru that he is not just a test subject.

The board cycles through names.
Naruto doesn't really pay attention to the next match, as it's the Onsen 'genin' Kyo fighting some poor sap from Taki.

"Can you hear it the sound of the divine wind." States the red-eyed ninja.

All the Onsen ninja sigh dramatically.

"Huh?" was the waterfall village genin's intelligent response.

Kyo then viscously impales the genin from the waterfall village through his skull and then shoots wind elemental chakra through his blade, creating a massive spray of blood and gore.

A couple people look like there going to be sick at the sight of such carnage.

Gekou coughs. "Winner Ookami Kyo of Onsengakure."

Chapter Conclusion

Helltanz's notes: The next few chapters excluding the preliminary flashbacks will be probably character building and interaction, plot development etcetera. Also Hidan and Naruto aren't brothers, the reason Hidan uses that form of addressing Naruto will be explained later once you see Naruto's bloodline. I am looking forward to the invasion portion you'll get to see Iruka use some of Naruto's jutsus. Additionally remember to vote for the Kekai Genkai, if you have already vote again if you don't mind so it will be easier for me to tally up, you may also still make suggestions in fact I encourage it. From now on I will suggest a story I think is good the one I suggest this time the story I suggest is Till Eternity's End by The-Silent-Muse. As to the bloodline for Naruto I am against giving him another Doujutsu, given that the Sharingan is canon's Deus ex Machina. Also I need some help, either a very good translator site, given my Japanese is limited, as are my resources as I will be bedridden for the next week if not two, and my usual helper I can't pester as much, but for now I need flies toward, and scorcher are in Japanese.

Don't forget to vote who you want to see Naruto use his taijutsu against (Orochimaru is not an option), also vote whether you want Sasuke to stay in Konoha, or whether he should go to Oto, whether he is retrieved or not is also up for a vote

Naruto inherits form from his dad, or if you want Iruka to have one.

A canon Kekai Genkai

Submitted by Kazua (I personally like this one)

The ability to distort time and space around a limited area, or something similar to Black magic, Necromancy perhaps.

These Original bloodline were submitted by Black kitsune: (Naruto not so much)

Yumegan attacks the mind and chakra as what it can do to mind is Mind control, Making one person or a group Insane and Remedial, kill in dreams the technique Yumeton; Hijutsu: Mind Scry also The Yumegan has a taijutsu called Yumeken it tears the Mind and Chakra system apart slowly Yumegan turns the eye color Silver, Black, Red, Turquoise depending on the user and the Pupil turns into the kanji for dream and can be Gold, Blue, Black

Tamashiigan this doujustsu can rip people's souls apart piece meaning that one person or group become puppets and if their minds survive they cant use chakra but a Taijutsu and Kenjutsu technique goes with this, the taijutsu Reiudeken (Ghost Fist) acts the same way as the Jyuken style The Kenjutsu Shinigami Ryuu or Death God Style it damages any type of Chakra even Cursed Seal Chakra also users of Tamashiigan can take a persons soul that's if that person deserves it but taking some ones soul can give the user of the Soul Eye gains every ability even bloodlines and memories of that person the Bad thing is that the user can suffer very severe Chakra Depletion even uses their life Chakra but the Chakra and soul chakra make up for that making the users Chakra and Stamina larger absorbing Chakra an soul Chakra combined is almost as big as Bijuu Chakra supply and Users of the Tamashiigan can add people to the clan by either having seals put on them or infusing them with the users blood or Chakra. The look of the Tamashiigan is like golden Byakugan and the veins like it also can see Tenketsu.

One vote so far

Bloodline submitted by Hoyt: (Naruto not so much)

1.it's based after a video camera

2. I'll try and post the link on my profile so you can see the picture

3.it lets a person using it to speed up their brain's neurotransmitters in the eye to make everything seem in slow motion

4.it can zoom in and store images and texts like a computer

5.it lets you learn a jutsu fast (not copy) because it automatically records Justus's and files what they look like so the doujutsu user can sort of... refer to the 'video' of the jutsu and see every detail of the process like a frame by frame (like on TV)

6.while using it to fight it automatically files their style (like jutsus) so the doujutsu user can predict the next move and eventually (but faster then a normal person) learn the taijutsu style by examining its workings frame by frame

7. Lets the user cast a simple genjutsu that plays recorded things so others can see it

Ultimate form requirements-it is achieved by mastering the other abilities like, making u be able to see everything so slowly it is as if time stopped and be able to move as if normal (yellow flash) having successfully being able to examine things so well that when the user records the opponents style/jutsu it can examine it and discover its workings and weaknesses and subconsciously adjusting and fixing errors to make said style/jutsu more efficient, being able to predict moves (not the same way as the sharingan because the sharingan senses muscle tension) it uses the data it analyzed from their fight to predict what they will do next, meaning the user adapts to the opponent making them stronger as the fight goes on.

The ultimate form- it changes into a tilted yellow/black Mangekyo the adjusts to light and distance like a machine by twisting/dilating and contracting it gives 3 abilities

1. Is the ability to force an opponent to live through a recorded memory as anyone you wish with all the pain, for example, if It was used while watching a guy cut off his leg, the person could make the target that guy (though its not real its painful) it is similar to the Tsukuyomi because its in the mind.

2. Ability to make your brain work so fast, that in your mind 72 hours is one second, while in your head you can search through the 'files' finding ideas and past experiences to help defeat a much stronger opponent then yourself, kind of like where Shikamaru sits their thinking of a plan.

3.Stronger version of the simple projection genjutsu, it creates stuff out of chakra (like a shadow clone) like a whole new reality but you need to use things from your memory, like if someone shatters a glass it would be silent unless your memory had recorded the sound of shattering glass.

Elemental control (only the five elements) - doesn't have a name for it

Beginners: For those of this bloodline using hand seals elemental jutsus strength will be a 5 increase for 75 of the chakra required; advances with level.

Novices: After a year of training those of this bloodline with twice the chakra required can use elemental jutsus without hand seals (after they have a handle on the flow it takes for the jutsu) by just saying or thinking the name of it will activate; using hand seals elemental jutsus strength will be a 10 increase for 50 of the chakra required.

Intermediates: After 5 years of elemental training in all 5 elements, without hand seals using elemental jutsus would take the same amount of chakra required for someone without the bloodline; using hand seals elemental jutsus strength will be a 20 increase for 25 of the chakra required.

Masters: After another 15 years of elemental training those of this bloodline can bend the very elements; like combining elements (Ice and Wood but with no hand seals), melding (traveling through earth, water, etc.) or use jutsus without chakra and seals (using opponents elemental chakra or the elements around them); using hand seals elemental jutsus strength will be a 40 increase for 10 of the chakra required.

As well as Gaara's weapon

Whip (Suggested by Coheed 16 the man in the dairy)

Bladed Shield (Submitted by ShinObi87)

Naginata or a pike

Halbred or Poleax (Suggested by Drake0x)

Spear (Suggested by Johnhamsta) seems to be the most popular specify what type or appearance

Three section Iron staff (Submitted by Spaceman) Seems the second most popular

Additionally there is the matter of summoning contracts there are two votes in this category:

The first Shinobi can have multiple summoning contracts how many should be the limit?

So far 3 and 5 seem to be the most common

The second vote for Naruto's, or anyone else's, summons?

Also I still need creative suggestions for earth jutsus.

As well as vote on if you want Iruka to have a Kekai Genkai.

1 vote for

Also whether the forth should come back or not.
