Chapter IXXX

Promotions and the Parting of Ways

Hyuga Hinata, Uchiha Sasuke, Higurashi's Tenten and Kozuki, Nara Shikamaru and Hatake Kakashi assembled in Tsunade's office along with the other Jonin Sensei's. The atmosphere in the room was tense all the chakra was being restrained bar the minimum. Even the ANBU were tense. Nerves were running high and the sword wielding genin especially were anxious it was Hinata who realised what this was "Naruto, Sasuke, Tenten keep calm and Nauto keep your hand from Samehada this is a test."

It worked. This was a multipurpose test. For Naruto and Sasuke it was see if they could restrain themselves from demanding missions and whatever they wanted and for the Higurashi cousins to test their mettle to find out if they had failed and as for Shikamaru he found it to troublesome to care. "You may be wondering why I have summoned you here?" Tsunade asked them getting nods from everyone.

"Nara Shikamaru the judges saw in you the credentials and potential and are thus promoted to Chunin. Report in five days for your first assignment." Shikamaru nodded and left the room moulding a rat handseals and seemingly melted into the shadows.

Tsunade then turned to the remaining genin "Team Seven due to interference in the Chunin exams with the exception of Higurashi Kozuki who displayed tremendous skill and the qualities of a chunin. You two performed admirably in the invasion, saving civilians and according to my Sensei's advisors, you Uchiha Sasuke took out Sabaku no Gaara on your own."

Sasuke snorted "No Hokage-Sama. I took out Gaara's sister and with the help of the Toads that Naruto summoned I took out Gaara's big sand thing shape and Naruto took out Gaara with a headbutt and mangled his ribs yet DIDN'T SAY A THING!"

Naruto shrugged "I walked it off." He stared at his fellow comrades "What? I've always healed quickly. Sandaime said it was to do with my mothers family and an S-ranked secret which only Team Seven know." Tsunade looked at them and she nodded to the sensei's "They need to know."

Naruto groaned but didn't protest and Tsunade began "When my Grandfather the Shodaime Hokage created the village he distributed nine bijuu, he gave one to Suna, two to all the other five then six nations with one to Kusa and he kept the Kyubi here. My grandmother held the Kyubi all her life from when she was about thirty it was then transferred to Uzumaki Kushina."

Naruto grinned "My kaa-san had it ripped out of me at birth. My father whose identity I don't know..." A blatant lie but everyone understood why, well that was everyone in the know. "...Anyway the Yondaime sacrificed his life to put the Kyubi into me as I'm the last Uzumaki at least according to Jiji, Jiraiya and Tsunade." The genin who weren't in the know were fighting back to hold back tears when a crack was heard in the room.

Tsunade had cracked the solid oak table with a slap of her wrist "All right all of you. I have assembled you because you have all experience with swords and some of you have the Seven Swords of the Mist. As far as I'm concerned you're all half trained brats. So as a result I have decided that you're all going to be spending the next five years in The Camp. Those five years you'll train with your swords and develop your specialites with other shinobi. Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto you have already been given trainers either by oaths or orders."

As she was on the verge of dismissing the group, the doors slammed open and the Civilian Council strode in bold as brass "I hope you haven't made any decisions without our imput!" Naruto's eyes hardened as did Sasuke's. Hard blue eyes and sharingan red glowered at the Civilians and the Advisors who were at the back "I did. I considered your reports and made my decision..." She turned to the shinobi "Dismissed you start your training in three days."

"To the store! and to the onsen! where Teams seven to ten begin their celebratatory traditions of getting absolutely hammered in the onsen and onto the bar!" Declared Jiraiya. Team Seven Looked at Kakashi who nodded "It is true."

Fifteen minutes later the assembled genin teams, chunin and sensei's were relaxing in the onsen in one of the few times that the onsen were not split into male and female sections. Naruto's eyes had closed as he meditated and let the warm water and sake relax him "Naruto...You awake? He can't hold his sake!" He heard and he stretched like a cat causing the trapped fluid and gas in his joints to move and as a result crack.

"Meditating actually Kibble. Should try it sometime, may make you a better shinobi...Yes I totally said that. Some reason I made Chunin and you didn't. Doesn't help that I wouldn't have been promoted despite winning the exams and that is a Team Seven and S-rank secret. In other words Kiba, more than your current paygrade which you still pay to the village."

Kiba growled at Naruto but did nothing else, Naruto turned to Shino "How are you? I thought out of your entire squad and I mean no offence to Hinata in anyway but I thought you were going to be the first to make it. As for Team Ten that was a given. Not sure about Team Nine and as for Team Seven well Kozuki, Sasuke then me." The rest of the days of recuperation passed blissfully...or rather blissfully if your names weren't Naruto, Jiriaya and Sasuke.

The first two had taken a trip to the Ruins of Uzu and had come back with tonnes of scrolls of fuuinjutsu. Including an utter 'Body Purge' ritual. In essence it purged the body of all malignant chakra and in this case soul shards as well. When Lana had been informed, Naruto had never seen her quite so frankly terrifying.

"That bloody, meddling, double crossing, goat fucking, three face scumbag who enjoys sodmy of male children and fully grown men. I watched as his most 'trusted' spy killed the bastard before throwing him off the central most fucking tower which must have been at least twelve stories high and he hit the fucking the stone ground. I was guaranteed that that the fucker was dead and NOW HE'S BACK! If that means that tosser is dead then the guy I killed a while back by the name of Tom Riddle is still alive." Lana snarled to herself as she passed Naruto his sword as they headed into the dojo.

Sasuke was going through a set of meditative exercises to keep his chakra reserves under control. He was being monitored by Jiraiya whose eyes widened Sasuke's eyelids took on a slight purple tinge "Senjutsu! Orochimaru you're an absolute genius but a sick and demented one."

"What's going on?" Asked Sasuke as he rose to his feet. His chakra felt purer and more potent. His chokuto cut through the air stopping above Hinata who had just performed a new leg cutting jutsu.

The aim of the exercise was to allow the sword wielders or specifically the males in the group to protect their faster female colleagues as they rushed out to perform their jutsu and rejoined the group.

They had been practising from sunup to sundown and their cohesiveness tightened. Some of the funnier moments of training was the fact that those who had a sentient blade had to wield a standard blade. They had been practising when Jiraiya and Kakashi joined them "Sasuke, Naruto. Time for your training to begin."
