Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto so that means that I'm not Masashi Kishimoto.

Chapter posted 07/09/2008.

Sorry for the late update, I got a summer job and I spend most of my free time with my new console.

Many of you received PM's from me instead of the usual review replies. I had a problem with my email server so I didn't receive most of the review alerts. Now it's working as usual.

I also remark that I don't think of having Minato with the ability to fly something stupid. Many of the most powerful characters in the series can fly: Deidara riding on his huge birds, Gaara riding the sand he makes float, Sasuke with the wings he grows in the second level... There are even weaker characters with their means of flying.

Lee stood before the two jonins, trying to keep balance.

"WAIT YOUNG LAD! DON'T GET UP! AFTER THE AMOUNT OF ALCHOHOL YOU TOOK IT WILL BE WORSE FOR YOU!", shouted Gai concerned.

Arashi was looking at Kushina's explanations about the boy's identity.

"This is the one who will become Gai's mini-clone? And he also has the Drunken Fist Gift..."

Known only for the previous hokages, Minato's family was one of the most ancient and secretives. Like the ninjas clans from ancient times they kept their existence in secret, making sure that only their lords were aware of their existence. They joined the Shodaime's Konoha disguised as a civilian family after swearing fidelity to Konoha and their kage. Most of them worked as ANBU or keep a facade as average ninjas. They also changed their family name each generation, usually after marrying someone outside the clan. One of the most remarkable things about them was that they had the biggest archive about ninja knowledge, including secrets about bloodlines unknown even for the Hyuugas.

Minato reminded a time when he readed a dusty document about the Drunken Fist Gift. It was not bloodline because it didn't pass to the owner's children but was almost as powerful as one. Usually people's reflexes and ability to fight were reduced when they were drunk; the Drunken Fist Gift owner's were increased exponentially: the most alcohol they had in their system the stronger they get. They also had the particularity of getting drunk with only a minimun amount of alchohol and not developing any resistance to it. It was not confirmed in the document but it also said that some of them were able to do things similar to ninjutsu.

"Dou yu wand to figdt?", said Lee in a menacing tone to the jonins.

Minato got an idea.

"Gai and I don't want to fight you, but I want you to have a spar with my son, Naruto"

The jinchuuriki and the Green Beast looked at him in disbelief.

"WHAT!? ARE YOU SERIOUS? THIS BOY IS NOT ABLE TO KEEP IN BALANCE AND LESS FIGHT!", said Gai undignified.

"He is right Dad! I can't fight a weakened opponent!", said Naruto.

"Whu ade you cadding geak!?", said the angry Lee attacking the blond.

MINUTES BEFORE IN KONOHA

Shikaku, Inoichi, Chouza and the rest of the customers of their usual tavern were wandering in Konoha looking for a place to have a drink. Unfortunately Arashi raided all taverns, taking all alcoholic drinks; not satisfied with this he also came to the stores and took all bottles with him.

Obviously Inoichi and Shikaku were angry while Chouza was doing his best to keep them in line. He took them to his favourite restaurant

"Don't get too angy with him... Remember that he saved our lives years ago, losing an eye in the process..."

"What? I saw him in the Arena and he had two functional eyes", said one of the customers.

"He grow it back with his bloodline", said Shikaku.

"I also heard of that bloodline...", said a Hyuuga, "... it looks like that it makes him highly resistant to poisons, it could explain why he bought so much alcohol, he would need an insane amount of it for it taking effect"

Everyone chatted among themselves after receiving that info.

"Poor guy... we misjudged him... he only wanted to have a drink we can't blame it"

The waiter appeared. Chouza headed to him.

"Good to see you... We want...", tried to say before being interrupted.

"I-I'm very sorry A-Akimichi-sama, but this morning a man came and bought all our existences for take away... We won't have more food in three days", said trembling.

Akamichis were known for being the most peaceful and kindest of all Konoha's clans unless somebody calls them fat or takes their food... then they turn more vicious than even the Kaguyas.

Chouza was unusually calm.

"Tell me... That man was wearing black?", asked to the waiter

"Y-Yes...", responded the waiter scared.

"Did he had a cloak and a hood?", said getting closer to the waiter.

"Y--Y-es...", said the waiter more scared.

"Did he had a mask with red whisker marks?", said getting more closer.

"yes", whispered the waiter scared to the bone.

"THAT'S THE LAST STRAW!! HE CAN TAKE DEFEAT ME AND TAKE MY DRINK BUT NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE TAKES MY FOOD!!", roared Chouza rushing out of the store after the eldest Uzumaki.

The others went after him, perhaps they could save enough of Arashi to have him healed in the hospital after the incoming beating.

Kakashi finished to beat that mad chuunin, again. He couldn't understand why he hated so much his books for exposing himself to a beating. The first time he was caught off guard and lost the book, the next ones he had to avoid the chuunin's attacks until he got sick and fought back.

He was aborded by a very angry Chouza.

"You! Bring me where Arashi Uzumaki is with your tracker skills!"

Kakashi only saw Chouza angry, when he was little, it took him years to stop having nightmares.

"A-All right... Kuchiyose no Jutsu!", said summoning Pakun.

They were soon joined by the rest of men.

"We came to take the pieces to hospital...", explained Shikaku.

"Whose pieces?", asked Kakashi for himself amused.

"Kakashi, I got his scent, he is outside of Konoha", said the little dog.

Minutes later they arrived at a prairie where they found not only Arashi but also Gai and the alcohol and the food that caused the problem. They were watching a fight between Arashi's son and a boy who was a year older. There were also two groups of people they didn't know cheering for the boys.

Chouza put a hand on Arashi's shoulder.

"Hey you, we must talk...", said.

Arashi didn't take his eyes off the fight.

"Can't we postpone it for later, after? Meanwhile... why don't you and your friends have a snack?", said pointing at the food and barrels.

Of course Chouza's point of view about Arashi changed from greedy bastard to generous partner.

Same happened with the other men, who rushed at the free food and drink. Soon they were cheering at the boys and even making bets.

Naruto was having real problems fighting against the drunken boy. He always managed to dodge his attacks in the last second, the most frustrating thing was that it looked that he did it while trying to keep balance. He also received many hits from the boy that were done while he tripped, avoiding one of his attacks.

"Naruto! You are allowed to use ninjutsu!", said his father.

"Good, now I will show my power", thought with a smile.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!", shouted creating twenty clones.

The crowd was impresed, the Kage Bunshin was a forbidden jonin technique, those few able to perform it were only able to create four or five without feeling exhaust.

More bets were on Naruto's favor.

They sorrounded Lee.

"Good, he took account of my advice and used them for reduce the space his opponent has for maneuver...", thought Arashi.

Unfortunately the strategy ended when they started to attack him at the same time. Lee dodged and countered their attacks, he also made two of them attacking each other by accident.

"... Unfortunately they attack as individuals, not coordinating their attacks...", thought Arashi looking at the clones having their assed kicked.

When all clones were dispelled Naruto changed his strategy.

"What about this!? Kage Shuriken no Jutsu!", shouted.

Lee fell to the ground just as the same time the shurikens were about to hit him.

The onlookers were impressed at the skills of the boys.

"Are they really Academy students?", asked one.

"They fight like chuunins...", comented other.

"They are supposed to be the death-lasts in their classes...", said Shikaku.

"Really? How strong are the best?", asked another.

"I don't know, but I will take a look at the Parents Visit day to find it out..."

Naruto tried more tricks but they didn't suceed.

The Lee was covering his mouth with the hand.

"Ain going to puke..."

"We can interrupt the combat until you feel better", said Naruto tired.

"BLUERGH!!"

Lee exhaled a fire ball the size of a house.

Naruto used all the chakra he could for create a barrage of bunshins.

The impact creamed all the clones and left a huge black spot in the prairie.

Naruto was kneeling on the ground panting after the effort of creating so many clones and receiving the memories of them being burnt.

Lee fell to the ground asleep.

Arashi helped Naruto to get up.

"An interesting gift, the Drunken Fist...", thought looking at the sleeping Lee who was being attended by Gai, "he combined the alcohol he had left in his body with his chakra to create a superpowered Katon jutsu, if Naruto hadn't create so many clones I would had to save him... Now that Lee doesn't have alcohol he lost consciouness and is unable to fight, that's the main weakness of the Gift".

They headed to Gai and Lee.

"Now he will sleep like a log, he is not able to fight, same happens with Naruto who is out of chakra, we can call this a draw", said.

Some people complained about the outcome of the match but they accepted it.

A drunk one started to sing and the rest joined him. More people from Konoha came and it soon it turned into a party.

Gai came carrying Lee.

"I'm sorry but we must put off our match. I'm taking this boy to his home, the poor thing will have a collosal hangover when he wakes up...", said Gai concerned.

"Don't worry about that, if what I heard about the Drunken Fist is true he won't have hangovers or even diseases caused by excesive consume of alcohol", commented Arashi.

Kushina got an idea and told it to her husband.

"Arashi-san, what happens?", asked Gai puzzled.

"Oh, sorry. Did you say something, Gai?", not knowing the implication of that phrase.

"ARGH! YOU TOO? WHY MY RIVALS HAVE TO BE SO COOL?", shouted Gai.

"He copied my phrase!", pouted Kakashi with anime tears.

Arashi ignored them and headed to Gai

"Gai, there are more things you should know about this boy", said pointing at Lee.

Minutes later Gai left happily the prairie dragging a still sleeping Lee.

Arashi saw that Naruto was a bit depressed, he didn't touched his food.

"What's going on, Son? Are you all right?", asked concerned.

"I'm sorry Dad...", apologized his son.

"Sorry for what?"

"For not winning the match, I couldn't even hit him... You must be ashamed of me...", said.

Arashi put his hands on Naruto's shoulders and smiled at him.

"I'm not ashamed of you. You didn't lost the fight and you made a very good match. Look everyone is talking about it!", said pointing at the ones who saw the fight.

Naruto felt a little better after hearing some comments.

"Also... ", continued Arashi, "... you must take account that you fought and exceptional adversary in exceptional circunstances..."

"What do you mean, Tousan?"

Arashi explained him about Lee and the Drunken Fist, his advantages and drawbacks. When he finished Naruto had regained his usual cheerful mood.

Kushina couldn't prevent to feel a little envious with Minato for being able to cheer Naruto but their son's smile banished the feeling.

"I can't wait for my next match against Lee! That time I will manage to hit him!", claimed.

"You'll have your chance in the Parents Visit Day in a few weeks, Son... Perhaps at that time you will be able to perform the jutsu I will start to teach you tomorrow..."

I hope you liked this chapter.

OMAKE: CHAPTER 25 DISCARDED SCENE

"Did he had a mask with red whisker marks?", said getting more closer.

"yes", whispered the waiter scared to the bone.

"THAT'S THE LAST STRAW!! HE CAN TAKE DEFEAT ME AND TAKE MY DRINK BUT NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE TAKES MY FOOD!! GRAOURGH", roared Chouza.

He was so furious that he started to convulse. His friends got worried.

"Chouza! Are you all right!? Be careful, what's happening to your clothes? They are ripping! No, wait! You are getting bigger! Are you losing control of your jutsu!? And why are you turning green?"

Chouza grew until he was 3 meters tall, the others looked amazed and terrified at the change.

His clothes were utterly destroyed minus his purple pants (a present from Gai, with great spandex percentage). Where before was fat now there were muscles like steel, where there was a kind smile now there was a furious grimace, where there was a white skin there was now a green tan... Where there was Chouza there was now another one...

The creature roared breaking all the glasses in the restaurant and jumped out of the place, making a hole in the ceiling. They heard his screams while he left.

"CHOULK FURIOUS!! CHOULK SMASH!! CHOULK DESTROYS ARASHI!!"

"Let's go after him! We must prevent him to commit a disgrace!", shouted Inoichi.

Everyone agreed but they were stopped by a very angry owner.

"Look, gentlemen... Nobody leaves until you pay for the broken ceiling", said.

While the ninjas had a whipround, Madara disguised as Arashi was looking after Gai for kill him.

Two days ago he made a visit to the priestess Shion (from Naruto 4th movie). She predicted that he will die at the hands of the Green Beast of Konoha.

The only one who matched with that description was Gai... If he didn't know about the fiability of her powers and the fact that Gai indeed was able to kill him with the Eight Gate he would have laughed his ass off.

His plan was to infiltrate in Konoha disguised as Arashi and kill Gai catching him off guard. The plan had the advantage that Minato would have a lot of problems convincing the authorities that he didn't kill Gai (there was also a big chance that they would congratulate him)

He was too distracted with his plan that he didn't notice the green figure landing over him. His years of training and cunned instincts were the only things that managed him to avoid being crushed.

"Stupid Lard-Ass! Watch were you step, you obese imbecile!", shouted.

A cry was heard in all the Fire Country.

"WHO'S THE FAT!!"

Madara realized that he went after the wrong Green Beast.

After Madara's death Arashi and Chouza infiltrated into Amegakure and killed Pain after Arashi convinced Chouza that Pain had the plan to stop the exports of pork to Konoha.

The rest of the Akatsuki wer disbanded because they didn't know what to do with the Bijuus.

A month later Chouza was named Godaime Hokage for killing the mastermind behind the Fox's attack.

What? I liked the Incredible Hulk movie.
