Yo. Here with another chapter. There are a few things I just want to tell you guys before I move on to the chapter.
First thing is Hinata, now this may not be important to you but it seriously is to me as it could make me come off as liking Hinata. So let me get this out of the way. Hinata will not, ever, be in the harem. So those who were all worried about that, you can rest easy, cause she won't be.
Second thing is Sakura. Now it was a close run, with Sakura wanting to be added into the harem because she changed and grew up. But I've decided not to add her into the harem, only allowing her to become a close friend to his family.
Will I change my mind in the future? Probably, but for now she isn't in the harem.
The third thing is Sasuke. I received some…annoyed reviews about him coming back and being like Kishimoto. Most said hurry and kill him off or make Naruto way stronger then kill him off. While I don't like brining back Sasuke as much as you guys do, it's necessary.
Just like others that will be introduced soon.
Last is the current harem. So I'm going to put the updated list on right now.
Female Biju
Kushina
Risa
Mei
Ino
That's it. There is the harem, and that's all I have to say right now so let's move on to the chapter.
Chapter 10
Hinata turned around to see one of the people she didn't like that much from her year. The person who always used to beat up on her love before he went through a drastic change.
Sakura Haruno.
"I should be saying the same Haruno. What are you doing here?" Hinata demanded with a cold quiet tone. Sakura raised a brow at Hinata's strange attitude but shrugged it off.
"Don't turn this back on me Hinata. I want to know why you are stalking Naruto-kun in his sleep." Sakura ordered. Hinata snorted as she stood straight.
"I'm not stalking him; I'm just making sure he is safe and not having nightmares of you hitting him." Hinata spat. She smirked when she saw Sakura give a wince in remembrance.
"Whatever, I don't think Ino would take to kindly to hear that you watch her boyfriend while he sleeps, it's creepy." Sakura stated.
"Beyond creepy." A voice yawned. The two turned around to see the person of their affection sitting on a nearby building with his legs dangling over the edge, stretching with a yawn.
He was wearing black shorts and a white shirt.
"Naruto-kun." Sakura and Hinata whispered with small smiles. Naruto blinked tiredly before he gazed at them both, his eyes landing on Hinata.
"Why are you here? Get lost." Naruto ordered with a bored tone. Hinata blinked in shock at what she just heard.
"What?" She asked. Naruto rolled his eyes as he elaborated.
"You two woke me up with your bickering, get lost." Naruto repeated. Hinata frowned before she gave a sad nod and left, but not without giving a smirking Sakura a glare.
Naruto then turned to Sakura with a raised brow.
"And why were you lurking around the night?" Naruto wondered. Sakura blinked before she pointed towards the hospital which wasn't too far away. Naruto nodded, guessing it must be her shift.
"Oh, okay. Well see ya later Sakura-chan." Naruto waved before he dispelled, letting her know it was a clone. Sakura smiled in response.
"Good night, Naruto-kun."
Next morning
Naruto yawned as he walked into training ground 7. He needed to get back into his training regime, taking a small vacation was a bad idea. But then again, he did get to spend more time with his kids and his wives. Eh, still needed to start his regime again.
The blonde looked up to see a total of five people standing by a tree. Tsunade, Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Shizune and Kakashi. The blonde simply raised a brow before he walked up to them.
"Ah so you made it, a little early too, good." Tsunade smiled. Naruto remained quiet before he glanced towards Kakashi who gave him an eye smile and wave.
"Yo, how's it going, Naruto?" Kakashi greeted. Naruto gave a small snort in response.
"Fine Hatake." Naruto muttered in response. Kakashi gave a mental sigh, seemed like Naruto was still hostile towards him.
In truth, that wasn't the case. Ever since his meeting with the Namikaze, Naruto became uncaring to those that he really wasn't fond of. While deep down he still despised those like Kakashi, Jiraiya or even Hiruzen, he just masked it with a wall of indifference.
Showing his dislike towards people he well, disliked, only showed that he still had some kind of feelings for them and that they could use those feelings to get closer. But if he showed he didn't care and that he was indifferent to them, then it showed he didn't care whether you lived or died, as long as you stayed out of his way.
"My, Naruto, you sure have grown. How was your trip?" The old Sarutobi asked with a grandfatherly smile. Naruto simple said it was short before turning his attention to Tsunade, outright ignoring Jiraiya who frowned in response.
"When is this test going to start?" Naruto wondered. Tsunade was about to answer when they all heard a shout of youth. Naruto's eye twitched as he watched Might Gai land in front of them with Lee by his side.
Coming up from behind the two were Neji and Tenten who just sighed at the two. Not long after team 8 showed up as well, before team 10 was next, with Sakura walking beside Ino.
Naruto then looked back towards Tsunade.
"Why are they all here?" Naruto wondered. Tsunade simply chuckled before answering him.
"Why you are going to fight them of course. We just need to wait for some more people to come." Tsunade told him. Naruto raised a brow before his ear twitched.
Glancing to the left he saw the Shinobi council along with the three remaining elders to walking towards them. Naruto now was suspicious to what was going on.
'Is she really trying to test me? I mean, the whole Shinobi council and rookies? What is this?' Naruto demanded inwardly. He wasn't worried by any means, he knew he could take all of them at once by himself, it's what he was afraid of revealing is what worried him.
"So it is true, Uzumaki is back." Homura muttered to himself as he stared at the young man who just scoffed.
"What the hell is going on here Tsunade?" Naruto ordered. Tsunade smiled before she spoke.
"Why this is your test. Your job is to fight the Chunin of rookie nine all together. If you beat them, I'll increase the difficulty. We all know you can take the rookies on by yourself, even when you were a kid, but they have gotten stronger as well, so now it's time to see if you have as well." Tsunade explained.
"And them?" Naruto asked, pointing towards the council. Tsunade shrugged.
"They wanted to see what you were made of, now are you ready?" She asked. Naruto sighed before giving a nod as he walked to the middle of the field.
He watched as team 8, Chouji, Shikamaru, Tenten and Lee stepped forward together, readying themselves.
"Time to put you in your place, Uzumaki. I'm going to pay you back for the last time." Kiba smirked arrogantly. The others remained focus while Naruto crossed his arms.
"Hey dobe I'm talking to you!" Kiba yelled before he realized what he just said. It was happening again. He was letting Naruto get inside his head, just like last time. Well it wasn't going to work. This time, he had help.
"Begin!" Tsunade yelled. Shikamaru got into his usual stance, already coming up with a plan. Hinata activated her Byakugan and charged with Kiba and Akamaru.
"Fang over Fang!" Kiba yelled as he Akamaru spun around, turning into two large gray bullets, shooting towards Naruto. Shikamaru watched Naruto closely, hoping for the blonde to at least do something.
On his part, Naruto simply leaned back with a crouch and shot himself at the two gray bullets. The blonde crouched and did a front flip. He channeled chakra into his hands and grabbed onto the scruff of Kiba and Akamaru's necks, stopping the Jutsu and throwing them forward after he landed on the ground.
Everyone was surprised by his action, but they watched as Hinata and Lee started to engage Naruto in a Taijutsu match who was dodging and ducking against every single move. The blonde teen's ear heard a buzzing sound, which made him frown.
Lee tried delivering a kick while Hinata tried striking him with her fingers. But Naruto grabbed onto both appendages before he channeled lightning chakra into their system, causing black lighting to electrocute them.
Both screamed in pain before Naruto dropped them and wordlessly created a shadow clone that was back to back with him, both did formed one hand sign and blew out a stream of blue fire at Shino's swarm of bugs that tried attacking Naruto from both sides.
Gasps from the audience were heard before Tenten ran at Naruto, summoning a Bo staff. She jumped up and tried brining it down on Naruto's head with a slam but the blonde dispelled the clone and whipped out a kunai, clashing with the staff.
He pushed Tenten away before throwing the kunai at an oncoming Chouji who tried swatting the Kunai away, but Naruto formed another hand sign as the kunai was close to Chui's hand.
"KATSU!" The blonde yelled, making the Kunai detonate, blowing Chouji away with 2nd degree burns on his hands. Naruto ducked under Tenten's swing before he delivered two hard blows to her stomach and finished with an uppercut.
The girl grunted loudly in pain before her ankle was grasped and she was thrown into the third swarm of Shino's bugs. Naruto clapped his hands.
"Kai!" The teen stated before Tenten gave a very pained scream as she and the bugs around her were electrocuted by black lightning.
"Tenten!" Kiba barked out in rage before he glared and charged at Naruto with Akamaru.
"Man beast clone: Absolute tunneling fang!" The Inuzuka yelled, surprising Tsume. Both Kiba and Akamaru hopped into the air a bit before they began spinning rapidly and shot towards Naruto in a blur.
Naruto himself was a bit surprised by the speed and the audience wondered how he was going to handle it. They saw him form a hand sign, but before he could cast whatever Jutsu he was about to do, his body froze up.
"Shadow possession Jutsu, success." Shikamaru smirked. Naruto grunted as he glanced at the annoying Nara before his eyes turned back to the quickly approaching Kiba.
Naruto closed his eyes as he concentrated. Kiba finally caught up to him, but was in for a literal shock when a black field of lighting was emitted from Naruto's body. Shikamaru also felt the shock to his system since the black lightning traced his chakra that resided into his shadow back to him.
The Jutsu that held Naruto was released, allowing him to slam his hands on the ground. The swarm of bugs that tried to get Naruto from his right were squashed when two slabs of earth shot up from the ground and slammed themselves together.
Naruto then substituted himself with a nearby leaf that was behind Shino and knocked him out. Once Shino fell, Naruto looked at what he caused to see all the Chunin unconscious.
The Uzumaki gave a sigh before turning to surprised spectators. The adults were all shocked to witness Naruto using Kumo's famed black lightning, which was to be much more powerful and dangerous than regular lighting. Only the Sandaime Raikage and a man named Darui could use black lighting, so it was strange to see Naruto using it without difficulty.
They also remembered that he used three elemental natures. Lighting, Earth and Fire. Just what kind of training was this kid doing?
"Alright, whose next?" Naruto asked with a small smirk. Tsunade sighed and had her Anbu who were hidden place the Chunin away to a safe spot. Naruto returned to the spot her started at and waited for the next wave.
"Next up will be the newly promoted Jounin. Give him hell." Tsunade encouraged those who stepped up. Naruto was surprised to see that Neji, Sakura, and Ino stepped up.
Neji was glad to have this opportunity to show Naruto up from the last time they battled. While it was an Ideal changer, he was still a bit bitter about it.
"Don't go easy on us, Naruto-kun." Ino smirked as Sakura tightened her gloves. Naruto just chuckled, curious to see how strong the two girls got. Tsunade observed them to see if they were ready. Once she was sure she allowed them to begin.
Neji activated his Byakugan right away before he settled into the Gentle fist. The Hyuuga glanced at Ino and Sakura who gave small nods. They all focused on a curious Naruto before Sakura snatched Ino's arm and spun around before throwing her over to Naruto.
Naruto watched as his girlfriend spun in the air before trying to land a devastating kick on him, but in the end Naruto just leapt back, causing her to create a decent sized crater.
The blonde boy's eye's widened in surprise before he moved his head out of the way to dodge Sakura's punch. But imagine his surprise when he was sent flying back, crashing against a few trees.
Sakura smirked as Ino stood next to her. They both nodded before Neji blurred right past them towards Naruto.
The Uzumaki in questioned rubbed his cheek, with a small grimace. He wondered what the hell kind of attack was that? He was positive he dodged Sakura's punch so why did he go flying back like she did hit him? This only meant he would need to stay away from her fists.
The blonde did a quick hop to get up and back flipped once Neji appeared flying down towards him, smashing his palm against the spot where the Uzumaki was at.
Naruto landed on the ground and spewed out a giant ball of flame towards the Hyuuga who used his rotation to deflect the flames. But as soon as he stopped spinning, he felt something connect with his chest.
"Rasengan!" Naruto yelled, sending Neji back to the girls. The Hyuuga tumbled to the ground and coughed up blood, barely conscious. Ino called Sakura's name who nodded and started to heal Neji while the Yamanaka took care of Naruto.
Naruto noticed what Sakura was doing and raised a brow. So she was a medic ninja too? That was interesting, but he couldn't have her healing every ones wounds, not if he wanted to move on to the next wave.
He blurred towards Sakura's position only to receive a kick to the face from Ino, sending him back and slamming to the ground. Ino smirked at the successful hit she delivered to Naruto.
But she realized that most of the hits she and Sakura dealt on the blonde teen was only due to him being surprised since he didn't know their skill sets. Hell, he probably didn't even know they were Jounin.
Naruto groaned as he rubbed his nose and glared at Ino, before noticing the wound he dealt to Neji was nearly done healing. Standing up Naruto vanished from sight, making Ino do a double take.
"Sakura!" Ino barked. Sakura stopped her healing and grasped on to Neji's shirt before jumping back from the Rasengan that smashed into the ground, creating a crater.
As she was leapt back, her jade green eyes met with Naruto's sapphire ones. Before she could even blink the blonde teen was gone just to reappear on her right and deliver a kick to her and Neji's side. The two crashed to the ground, with Ino calling them.
The blonde girl growled and went through hand signs before blowing out a ball of fire at Naruto, who didn't bother to dodge it, letting it consume him. Ino then remembered Naruto's immunity to fire and cursed herself before the wind was knocked out of her. Saliva left her gaping mouth while her eyes went wide.
Naruto removed his fist from Ino's gut, allowing her to fall to the ground unconscious. The blonde grunted before he was pushed back by an unknown force. Looking towards Neji and Sakura he saw that Neji was running towards him, pushing his palms forward.
"Gentle fist: Air palms!" The Hyuuga yelled. Naruto kept skidding back before replacing himself with a trampled cut flower, appearing right behind Neji. The blonde snatched at Neji's hair, pulled him back towards the ground and delivered a crushing blow to his sternum.
The Hyuuga shook in pain before falling unconscious. Naruto then grasped Sakura's fist from behind. But with her other fist she tried delivering a right hook. However Naruto grasped that as well with a small wince and flipped her over him before jumping and drop kicking her.
The pink headed girl landed on the ground with a thud, rolling around as well. She tried getting back up but couldn't find the strength and passed out.
Naruto nodded to himself and satisfaction. He knew for a fact that Ino and Sakura were much better than this as he could feel their large chakra reserves even when they were being concealed.
The blonde turned to the Godaime Hokage to see she and the others watching were stunned by what just happened. They should have expected this but it was still surprising.
"I'm ready for the third wave." Naruto told them. Tsunade broke out of her stupor and ordered for the Anbu to put the three unconscious Jounin with the others.
"Well we have seen a near overall of your skills, but it was mostly your experience that showed most. So now we are going test how adept you are with the three Shinobi ways. For Ninjutsu, you will face Kakashi."
Said Jounin stepped up with an eye smile. Naruto simply ignored it, waiting for Tsunade to continue.
"To win, your opponent must be knocked unconscious, surrender, or I call the fight. You can use whatever Ninjutsu in your arsenal, Begin." Tsunade nodded.
"It seems not that long ago you were just a loud brat ready to prove your worth. Now look at you, having me use my Sharingan." Kakashi chuckled, putting away his book in favor for lifting up his headband.
Naruto remained silent before he leapt back and threw a flurry of shuriken. He formed one hand sign before the shuriken turned into a large swarm. Kakashi used a great fireball to melt the weapons and ran towards Naruto.
The blonde landed on a branch and whipped out a kunai before lunging at Kakashi, both of them clashing against each other. Sapphire eyes glared into a Sharingan and an onyx eye. The two pushed against each other but Naruto leaned back before bringing up his leg to deliver a round house kick to Kakashi's head.
But Kakashi ducked under it and slammed his hands on the ground.
"Earth style: Hands of Gaia!" Kakashi yelled as stone hands started to grab Naruto's legs and pull him underground. Naruto didn't flinch or struggle. Instead he channeled chakra into his eyes.
His sapphire orbs turned into pale, metallic silver with three tomoes, a near exact copy of the Sharingan except the red was silver and he had no pupil.
With a single thought, the ground was pushed against a strong force, creating a crater. Kakashi was pushed back as well with a grunt. The Jounin wondered what was going on but as he looked up he saw Naruto unhook his right arm, revealing four missiles that were fired at Kakashi.
He dodged one, causing it to hit the ground and explode. Kakashi threw an explosive tag at another, both blowing up. The last two he kicked and punched away before blowing a large ball of water at Naruto, remembering he was immune to fire from his match with Ino.
While Naruto hooked back his right arm, he raised his left and absorbed the ball of water. The Uzumaki rushed at Kakashi, a Rasengan in hand. The Jounin jumped out of the way but wasn't able to maneuver himself around Naruto's second Rasengan.
The attack hit his chest, sending him flying back. He was okay as his vest took most of the damage. Kakashi didn't know what to do. Naruto was immune to fire, and he absorbed his water Jutsu, so what else could he do?
Before he could ponder more on the subject, he felt a tugging sensation before he was literally snatched from his position, being pulled towards Naruto. At the last moment, Kakashi escaped using a log as his substitution.
Naruto frowned as he destroyed the log. Kakashi was slippery, but Naruto knew that he would win. Ninjutsu was something that he couldn't beat him, unless it was a very powerful Jutsu, then absorbing it would give him recoil damage.
The tomoes in his eyes started spinning before he jumped up. Black lightning buzzed in his hand before he pushed his hand forward, a bolt of black lighting striking the earth. A blast was heard, along with the earth exploding. Once the dust settled, it revealed a surprised Kakashi who was still in the same spot that was supposed to be underground.
Fighting the instinct to just hover in the air, Naruto landed on a branch. Kakashi leapt out of the hole and stared at Naruto, gazing into the boys strange Doujutsu. He would need to try and end this.
Using three hand signs, lightning erupted from his hand, forming a Raikiri. Naruto narrowed his eyes before a Wind Rasengan formed in his hand.
Kakashi ran and jumped up at Naruto, cocking his hand back. Naruto just pushed off the branch and fired himself at Kakashi, his hand cocked back also. The two attacks neared each other, but Naruto disengaged his Rasengan and just grappled at Kakashi's collar, making sure to avoid the Raikiri. Naruto threw Kakashi over his shoulder and landed on the ground, before a surge of black lightning engulfed him. Naruto took a stance before he pivoted his foot, spun around a fired a Dragon made out of black lightning at Kakashi who was hit full on in the attack.
The silver haired man screamed in unimaginable pain as the black lightning shocked his system. After a few moments of agonizing pain, Kakashi fell to the ground with a hard thud, lightning still buzzing around his form.
The black lightning around Naruto disappeared as he stood straight.
Everyone who watched, were now beyond shocked. Naruto just beat Kakashi without breaking a sweat. It made the Konoha elders nervous of the boy, while the Shinobi council were dying to know how he was able to use black lighting. Maybe he could share this information with Konoha in the future.
Naruto's eyes reverted back to normal as he waited for the next test. Tsunade shook herself to wake up and went to inspect Kakashi's wounds. It wasn't anything to serious, he had a broken rib or two, and he some bruises, and few 1st degree burns that she could easily heal.
Calling for an Anbu, she had them take Kakashi to the hospital. Turning to Naruto, she could see no remorse or regret in his eyes, just an uncaring attitude, which saddened her a bit but she continued on.
"Alright you passed the Ninjutsu test. Would you like to take a break?" She asked. Naruto shook his head, he was fine. This caused most to blink in surprise, figuring he would want to restore some chakra.
"Well alright then. Your next test will be Genjutsu; your opponent will be Genjutsu." Tsunade stated. Kurenai stepped forward ready to begin. She like everyone else knew that it would be difficult for Naruto to pass this test since Genjutsu was impossible for him considering his high reserves.
Naruto simply stared Kurenai down as she started her Jutsu. Naruto blinked to find himself trapped against a tree. Looking around he saw those closest to him dead in front of him in the gruesome ways possible.
His wives, fiancée's, children, apprentices, friends, all dead. Naruto simply looked on with a blank look before his eyes turned to the upper left, revealing Kurenai who put a Kunai to his throat.
"Concede." She ordered with a cold tone. Naruto closed his eyes and opened them again to reveal his strange Doujutsu, the tomoes spinning wildly, entrancing Kurenai who felt she was falling into a deep pit.
Flaring her chakra she opened her eyes to see that she was still in front of Naruto who just stared at her, but his eyes were dazed. This made her realize that he tried to switch the Genjutsu on her but failed.
Deciding to end this, she ran at Naruto but she stopped when the ground started to shake and crumble right from under her, causing her to fall into the black abyss.
"Now you will fall into the bottomless pit of pain." Naruto muttered as a giant flaming meteor broke through the sky and started to head for her. Her eyes went wide when it impacted her, causing her to feel unnatural immense pain.
With a gasp Kurenai eyes snapped open. She nearly puked on the ground but instead glared at Naruto whose Rinnegan mixed with Sharingan was activated. He stared back at her with an emotionless façade.
With a roar she charged at Naruto, but a group of foxes ran from behind Naruto and towards her. They jumped and lunged at her making her eyes widened before she closed them, waiting for the pain. But she missed when the foxes turned into shuriken that sliced and grazed her.
When Kurenai did open her eyes she saw the Shuriken on the ground and blinked. Looking towards Naruto, she was about take a step when her body froze. She could feel the skin on the left side of her face peeling off slowly and it hurt very much.
"Kurenai…" a voice that wasn't her own said. Her right eye tried it's best to look at the other side of her face. When she couldn't she looked down to see a puddle of water, that revealed that the left side of her face was Asuma.
"Asuma-kun?" She whispered in disbelief.
"You are weak. The only talent you have is Genjutsu, and you are barely decent at that. Figures since you are a woman. Bitches like you should stay at home and do all the house work, and give the breadwinners like me whatever they want when they ask for." Asuma grinned lustfully.
Kurenai was beyond shocked at her boyfriend's before she felt her stomach start to act up. It felt as if it was twisting inside and out.
"Useless." Another voice stated, causing Kurenai to look down to see it was her friend Yugao who was glaring at her.
"Why didn't you help me when Hayate-kun died? You selfish bitch only thinking about yourself! I wish you would die!" Yugao spat.
Kurenai started to cry before she felt her right shoulder ache. Imagine her surprise when she saw her friend Anko on her shoulder.
"You don't get to cry. If anyone should be crying it's me. You don't care about me; I'm only just someone you tolerate. Why would you want to be real friends with the snake whore hunh? You're selfish, weak and a total bitch." Anko cursed with a fierce glare, her curse mark covering her face.
"No, please stop, please." Kurenai begged in tears as more people started to show up on her body, saying mean things to her, torturing her mind.
"PLEASE! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kurenai screamed as she fell on her knees. She started to cry hard. Why did they such mean things to her? She was not a failure of a sensei, or a friend, or a lover, was she?
Finding some strength within her, she glared at a still impassive Naruto with nothing but hate and ill intent. The woman whipped out a Kunai and rushed at him with a look of insane fury.
"YOU BASTARD!" she screeched. Naruto lidded his eyes before widening them, the three tomoes forming into a wheel with three circles and three thick bars. (Madara's EMS)
The Sharingan spun before Kurenai was engulfed in black flames, causing her to scream in unimaginable pain, she also started to melt before becoming nothing but mere ashes.
Kurenai snapped her eyes open again and felt her face and body to see she was still alive. She then glared again at Naruto but before she could even move, she witnessed as a large tree on her left busted into black flames. Another tree on her right which was closer to her did the same.
Her eyes then made contact with Naruto's before she too busted into black flames as large crater formed as well. Just like before Kurenai melted into nothing, not even able to scream because of her sore throat.
Everyone watched as Kurenai fell to her knees, heaving up her insides. They all blinked in surprise to what just happened. One minute ago Tsunade just started the test; the next Kurenai was puking all over the place.
Asuma watched in confusion before he called her and ran to her side. Kurenai stopped throwing up for a minute to realize that Asuma was next to her. Her eyes widened in remembrance of his words and that creepy lust filled grin that implied nothing but pain and torture to her.
"Stay away from me!" Kurenai screamed pushing him away. Asuma looked surprised by this as did the audience who were watching.
"Kurenai-chan, it's me, calm down, I'm right here." Asuma told her over and over again. The woman calmed down slightly but was still on the defensive.
"Asuma-kun? Is it really you?" She asked with hope in her voice. Asuma hugged her letting her know it was him. She cried into his vest, not wanting him to let her go.
"It was so real, the pain, so much pain." Kurenai cried. Asuma continued to hug her till she fell asleep. When she did he gave Naruto a look before he bowed to the council and Hokage before he left for the hospital.
"What the hell just happened?" Tsume wondered and the others shrugged before looking at Naruto for an explanation who sighed before speaking.
"I placed her in a Genjutsu the moment she stared into my eyes. I made her think she trapped me in a Genjutsu, before I 'tried' to break free and turn it on her. That's when she was fully aware that she was under my Genjutsu but yet felt as if she was in reality. I put her in a chain of multiple illusions." Naruto explained.
"Which were?" Danzo asked causing Naruto to glance at him before speaking.
"I threw her into a black abyss before having a giant flaming meteor hit her. Then I made her closest friends torture her psychologically by having them morph from some part of her body which was very painful. After I ended that illusion and made her burst into flames, twice. I released the Genjutsu afterwards." Naruto finished.
"But a Genjutsu isn't supposed to physically hurt." Inoichi stated, earning a nod from Naruto.
"And she wasn't, physically of course as her body was unmarred from when we started. Though my Genjutsu ability that I created, overrides the victims senses. Meaning they could touch, smell, taste, hear and feel whatever goes on in the Genjutsu. I call it, Kyoka Suigetsu." Naruto told them.
In truth, Kyoka Suigetsu was just a higher level Tsukuyomi. It was thanks to the Rinnegan's prefect chakra control and the Sharingan's Genjutsu capabilities that the technique could even be formed. And since Naruto's Rinnegan merged with his grandfather's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan which was really special, Naruto was able to use the Kyoka Suigetsu.
The adults were shocked by this information. Who would have thought that Naruto, a Jinchuriki who had no talent in Genjutsu, was able to create his own deadly Genjutsu? It was unthinkable.
"Now who is next?" Naruto asked. Tsunade turned to Gai who gave a nod and stepped up with a large grin. Naruto remained impassive, now knowing this was going to be a Taijutsu battle.
"Are you ready for your Taijutsu test?" Tsunade asked the blonde who nodded in return. Smirking she allowed them to begin, which caused Gai to charge at Naruto.
The man jumped and tried using dynamic entry but Naruto crossed his arms together as a block before pushing Gai away. In a blur he was gone, delivering a blow to Gai's gut who simply grunted in pain before he tried punching Naruto but Naruto blocked the attack with his palm before using his right leg to sweep guy off his feet.
Gai did a back flip but didn't have enough time to catch his self before a fist impacted with his face. He stumbled back before three crushing blows were given to his torso before Naruto kicked his chin. The blonde grasped Gai's ankles and slammed him on the ground before leaping back.
Tsunade and Jiraiya blinked in vast surprise. Was Naruto really overpowering Gai?
Said man simply got up with a smirk. The boy was fast, which he didn't expect. Plus his hits hurt like hell which was another thing he noticed. Getting into the Gouken stance, Gai readied himself.
Naruto slipped himself into his own stance that he adopted from Goku. Both glared each other down before vanishing from thin air, only to reappear at the center with their fists smashed together.
A crater formed from the impact of power. The two leapt back and lunged at each other again, both punching each other in the face, but Naruto quickly recovered and spun around Gai before giving him two quick jabs to the back before delivering a round kick to his face, sending him tumbling.
Gai hopped from the ground and skidded across the ground. This was actually getting painful. Whoever taught this boy Taijutsu was a powerful person then. Gai didn't want to open any of the gates just to take on Naruto; he barely wanted to take off his weights.
As Gai continued his inner musings, he was too late to notice that Naruto once again vanished before a fist impacted against his face, sending him flying. But Naruto once again vanished making a buzz sound before reappearing in front of Gai's hovering body before kicking him upwards.
The Taijutsu master grunted in pain as he flew upwards. Naruto crouched down before jumping towards Gai and delivering a series of devastating and crushing blows to him before kicking him to the left. He vanished again to appear above Gai and smashed his combined fists down on his stomach, sending him crashing down to earth.
Naruto quickly landed on the ground, proud how his Meteor Combination turned out. He watched with raised eye brows as Gai stood back up but with shakiness.
"That hurt." Gai groaned. Naruto sighed before he blurred out of sight to reappear in front of Gai with his fist connected with his stomach. Gai was hunched over his fist and arm with a shocked look on his face before he passed out.
Naruto released his fist and looked at Gai's form with a bored look. He looked back towards Tsunade with a raised brow.
"Is that it?" he asked. Tsunade was speechless. Naruto just defeated their Ninjutsu specialist, Genjutsu Specialist and Taijutsu specialist without breaking a sweat! This kid was…
She couldn't find the words to describe him.
Hiruzen and Jiraiya were in the same boat. Naruto was stronger than they would have imagined. His attitude in battle gave them shivers down their spines. He acted more like one of Danzo's ROOT agents, emotionless.
"No not yet." Jiraiya stated as he stepped forward, causing Naruto to narrow his eyes a bit. The toad sennin smirked.
"Now you have to fight me. Let's go all out, Naruto. That means using your Rinnegan as well." Jiraiya stated. Naruto's Rinnegan pulsed to life as he glared at Jiraiya. He was on his list.
The blonde had a beat the living shit out of list. That included…
Namikaze
That gay ass Sasuke
Jiraiya
And that fool Tobi
So the fact that one of those people were so willing to fight him, made Naruto grin, but the fact he couldn't kill them and could reveal his techniques pissed him off.
Not to mention, if he did want to fight Jiraiya, he would have to hold back if he didn't want to hurt him and make him last. Naruto just scoffed ready to get started.
Jiraiya gave a small smile and got into his ready stance while Naruto took to Vegeta's fighting stance with a crouch. Tsunade raised her hand with baited breath, she like the others were anxious about the upcoming battle, really wondering who would win.
"Begin!" Tsunade yelled and Jiraiya rushed at Naruto at incredible speeds. The man jumped and tried delivering a spin kick to the teen however Naruto leapt back forming hand signs as he did so.
"Water style: Water Dragon bullet!" Naruto yelled, finishing his seals with the bird sign. The water nearby started to shift before three pillars rose up and formed water dragons that roared and lunged at a surprised Jiraiya.
"Fire style: Flame bullet!" The Sannin yelled, blowing a large bullet of fire at the dragons causing mist to take form. Jiraiya was now on the defensive as he heard growling.
Glancing to his left and right, he saw murderous red glowing eyes before the owners of the eyes lunged at him ready to kill. Jiraiya managed to dodge most of them and crush some with a fist or a kick. But his arm was nearly chewed off so he jumped into the air and out of the mist.
The mist faded quickly revealing 6 foxes made of ice. Jiraiya was surprised by this but was even more surprised when the foxes turned into a crimson color and merged together; forming a dragon that looked like it was made out of crystal.
"Shoton: Tearing Crystal Dragon!" Naruto yelled from somewhere, sending the dragon to go flying at Jiraiya who landed on a branch and jumped towards the dragon, destroying it with a Rasengan.
By this time everyone was waking up from their sleep and was watching Naruto fight Jiraiya who was looking around for the blonde. Ino and Sakura were watching very closely while the others were looking for Naruto as well.
Jiraiya turned his head when he saw Naruto walk from out the shadows, a Gunbai in hand. The Toad sennin stared at the Gunbai, remembering how skilled Naruto was with it during their time together to search for Tsunade.
He would need to watch out for it, it was a heavy hitter. Naruto simply smirked and raised his fan at Jiraiya, pointing it at him. With a blur, Naruto was gone and above Jiraiya's head, ready to slam it down upon him.
The man was smart enough to leap back, from Naruto's attack which caused a crater to form. But as he was still in midair, Naruto repositioned his fan and swung with enough power to cause a Wind storm which is exactly what happened.
"Wind style: Great Breakthrough!" Naruto chanted. Jiraiya had to cover himself but forgot about Naruto's insane speed. The blonde appeared in front of Jiraiya and swatted him away like some kind of fly.
With a grunt, Jiraiya skidded across the floor. He would need to pull out the big guns. Channeling chakra into his feet, Jiraiya vanished from sight to appear right in front of Naruto, two Rasengan's in hand.
Naruto's eyes widened slightly but it was nothing he couldn't handle. It all went in slow motion for him as he raised his Gunbai and stabbed into the ground before he hopped on top of the end of the hilt with a crouch and jumped into the air.
Jiraiya watched as this happened in just two seconds. And when those two seconds were up, his Rasengan destroyed the Gunbai. As Naruto was still in the air, he clapped his hands. A poof was heard as well as growling.
The smoke revealed an abnormally large brown two headed dog with the Rinnegan and wings. The dog flew down at Jiraiya who pivoted his foot, spinning around and blowing a large ball of fire at the dog.
But Naruto wasn't done yet, he already summoned a large green bird that also had the Rinnegan and ordered it to shoot itself at Jiraiya before slightly crouching and pushing off the back of the bird with a leap.
Jiraiya was expecting the bird to try and attack him. Not explode when Naruto yelled,
"KATSU!"
The audience gasped when Jiraiya was caught in the explosion. Naruto smirked thinking he at least injured the Sannin, but it turned to a frown when a large black Sasumuta shot out of the smoke to grab him.
Naruto was able to move out of the way. But imagine his surprise when a large red toad with a black Kimono and shield appeared from out the smoke. He also spotted Jiraiya on the toads head.
"Gamaken oil!" Jiraiya ordered. The toad nodded spitting out oil from its mouth like all toads. With a fire Jutsu, the oil ignited around Naruto, catching him in a fiery explosive.
But there was one thing everyone seemed to forget. He was Immune to all fire.
Everyone heard a loud whistling sound and wondered what was going on. Looking up to where Naruto was caught in the explosion, the smoke disappeared to reveal Naruto holding onto a Rasenshuriken.
With ease and a smirk, Naruto threw the spinning Rasengan at Jiraiya and Gamaken, earning awe and shocked looks.
"Wind style: Rasenshuriken!"
There was no way Naruto was able to throw a Jutsu that dense, especially with that amount of chakra! If that was the case then the Jutsu should have dispelled as soon as it left his fingertips, but it didn't!
The Rasenshuriken zipped through the air towards the large toad and toad sage. Gamaken held up his shield ready to block it, but it was no use. As soon as the attack made contact it exploded, forming a large sky blue dome of chakra.
Naruto landed on the ground with a smirk. But it fell as soon as he had to leap away from the fists of a toad. Skidding to a halt he saw a slightly injured Jiraiya, a heavily injured Gamaken and an orange and blue toad that had bracers on its arms and two large swords strapped to its back, ready to fight.
"So this is the kid you wanted me to fight Jiraiya-sama?" The toad asked, sounding male. Jiraiya gave a nod as he nursed his numb and bleeding arm.
"It is Gamatoku. You handle him till I'm ready." Jiraiya stated. The toad known as Gamatoku nodded before he blurred from sight. However Naruto saw him coming with his Rinnegan but was surprised to see that he drew his sword.
Quickly, Naruto unsealed his Katana as well, clashing with the toad. It seemed surprised by this and decided to bring its left fist down on him but Naruto used a wordless Shinra tensei to push him back.
Everyone from the sidelines studied Naruto's Katana, realizing it was not the same he used before he left for his trip.
The blade was just as long as any other Katana blade. However the blade was a dull crimson with sky blue Kanji for 'Storms' were engraved into the blade. The tip seemed to be really sharp and would never dull as well. The guard was that of a four pointed star and was made out of gold. The hilt seemed to be just a little more thick than most Katana. Wrapped around it was a sky blue and green silk wrapping, with black diamonds encrusted onto the hilt. The butt cap was gold as well, while a total of 5 links of a chain which was black in color, hung off from the cap.
Danzo and Tsunade wondered where Naruto received that sword, because for some reason, they could feel power radiating off the work of art.
Naruto narrowed his eyes before he side stepped Gamatoku's slash which impacted with the ground and parried the toads other blade when it tried swinging at him, with one hand. Once the blade was parried, Naruto stepped in front of Gamatoku. He raised his blade up before slicing down, causing dark red blood to spew from the toads wound, a diagonal slash on his chest.
Gamatoku's eye's widened in shock, before he was sent back with another Shinra tensei. As he flew away he dispelled just as Jiraiya tried nailing Naruto with a Rasengan, but the blonde spun his body out of the way before delivering a round kick to the Sannin's face.
Naruto sealed his sword back as he stared at Jiraiya, who started to get back up.
"Let's just stop this Jiraiya. If we continue on, one of us will be killed." Naruto stated. Jiraiya grunted in response. He was willing to use sage mode against Naruto but knew that if the blonde really used his Rinnegan powers he would be in trouble.
This boy was way stronger than any Anbu captain. Naruto was most likely stronger than him, if killing Orochimaru was any indication. Jiraiya would have to just stop for right now, he already got Gamaken and Gamatoku injured, didn't need to increase his injuries as well.
"Fine you win this time Naruto. But I expect a full on fight later on." Jiraiya grinned. Naruto gave a snort before he walked over to Tsunade with a nod.
"So, how did I do?" The blonde teen asked. Tsunade blinked before she looked at all those Naruto fought and gave a smile.
"You surpassed my expectations. You beat Gai, Kurenai, Kakashi and even Jiraiya without breaking a sweat. Plus you took on three, pretty strong Rookie Jounin and a handful of Chunin, you are simply… There are no words to describe you besides that you can kick ass. Meet me in my office in an hour." Tsunade ordered with a smile before turning to the council and giving them a nod.
Naruto was about to leave when he was called, prompting him to stop. Turning around he saw Ino and the rest of the Rookies walking over to him.
"Naruto my youthful friend that was amazing!" Lee cheered, earning nods from the others. Kiba gave a grumble while Neji remained stoic. Naruto gave them a fake smile before he spoke.
"Well I did train really hard. Baa-chan trained me to the core, barely letting me get any rest." Naruto stated.
"How were you able to use such techniques? I didn't know you had an affinity for lightning." Kiba stated. Naruto simply looked at him with a blank face.
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me. But to answer your questions, Baa-chan taught me. Anyway I gotta go, something I need to take care of." Naruto stated.
Seeing her chance, Hinata took it, grabbing onto his arm, earning a growl from Ino and a slight glare from Sakura. Naruto simply glanced at her with a cold stare; no one gave her permission to touch him.
"How about I go with you Naruto-kun? Maybe then we can go for some lunch." Hinata smiled. Naruto thought it over, trying to remember what he was supposed to do with her, something about Kumo.
'Oh yeah.' Naruto muttered inwardly. With a mental sigh he spoke.
"Sorry Hinata-chan, but this is something I need to handle alone. But after I'm done I'll take you up on your offer." Naruto smiled kindly. Hinata blushed with a nod, happy Naruto was going to have lunch with her.
Naruto gave Ino a chaste kiss that turned into a kiss of dominance on Ino's part, showing Hinata that Naruto was hers. Naruto was amused by Ino's attitude and just played her game for now. After the kiss was over, Ino had a light blush on her face, while Naruto simply smirked.
"I'll see you guys later." Naruto waved before he left. Kiba huffed, Shikamaru sighed, Chouji, Tenten and Lee had small blushes, Neji and Shino were stoic, Hinata was glaring and Sakura just giggled.
"Let's go Sakura, there something I want to go check out." Ino told her friend who nodded and waved to the others before leaving. Neji and Hinata left for the Hyuuga compound, Lee left to go find Gai, and Tenten just left with Shikamaru and Chouji.
Uzuni, Lower bunker
Risa walked through the dark halls of Uzuni's lower bunker. She had about an hour or so before Misaki woke up from her nap and noticed she was gone. Hopefully if she did wake up before her return, Naruto's blood clone would ease her nerves.
She stopped in front of a wall that had the Uzumaki swirl engraved in it. Risa bit her thumb, drawing blood, and swiped her thumb down on the Swirl. A rumbling noise was heard before the wall started to break apart, allowing her in.
As soon as the Uzumaki woman walked in the wall repaired itself. Risa observed the room to see it was just like an underground arena, except way smaller. In the middle of the room on the floor was a larger version of the Uzumaki spiral.
Nodding to herself, she stepped into the middle of the spiral and formed the activate seal. Underneath her clothes, on her left breast, right where her heart was located, a Romanized number one glowed red.
Closing her eyes she waited for a connection to form. She felt the shift in her chakra; as well other chakra signatures appear in the room. Opening her eyes she saw a total of nine astral figures standing somewhere in the swirl. Seeing that the other nine were present she stepped back from the middle of the Swirl, now standing in her designated spot.
"One, present." Risa spoke first.
"Two present." This voice was female, belonging to Kurama.
"Three Present." A male voice stated. Risa couldn't tell much from the person as they were just an astral figure, but their hair was slicked back and they had some kind of medallion around their neck. This person was a demon god from the hell, Jashin.
"Four present." Another male, which was Gaara.
"Five present." This voice was another female, whose hair was short and had hazel brown eyes. This was Rin Nohara.
"Six present." Once again it was a male, Suigetsu.
"Seven present." This time it was a female, Guren.
"Eight present." This voice belonged to Ichigo.
"Nine present." A young boy of 10 years said, this was Zeno bell from Kumo.
"Ten present." A teenage girl of 19 years stated, this was Zola, also from Kumo.
After they made their arrival known, one more chakra signature appeared that trumped all of them combined.
"Zero, present." That was Naruto, his Rinnegan fully activated. Naruto eyed every single one of them and nodded to himself.
"All members of Spiral, present." Naruto finished. Each and every one of them nodded, waiting for Naruto to start the meeting.
"The reason I have called all of you is to know how progress is going. I just finished my 'test' against Konoha's most 'prized' Shinobi. The next part of gathering the army will commence soon." Naruto informed and they all nodded.
"Zola, let's start with you. Report." Naruto ordered. Zola nodded and spoke.
"Hai, Naruto-sama. My observation of Iwa has not changed since last report. The Tsuchikage still doesn't suspect a thing about Uzuni like you thought. However he has heard of your return to Konoha and is pondering on whether or not to see if the rumors about you are true." Zola informed. Naruto was quiet, in his own musings.
"News sure does spread fast. Any new information on his movements towards his missing Jinchuriki?" Naruto asked. Zola shook her head.
"Besides the occasional attacks that his Shinobi do on their own, no. He doesn't really seem to care about them, yet he is keeping an eye on Akatsuki and trying to figure out their motives." Zola answered.
Naruto nodded, thanking her before moving on to one of his many students, Zeno.
Zeno was a young boy Naruto came across in Kumo who was training by himself about a year ago. He was about the same age as Ichigo but was really short, only standing at 4'8. The boy had pure white hair and very pale skin with violet nearly pink orbs.
But despite his appearance, Zeno was very skilled in using his lightning nature, even able to use black lightning on occasion. The boy had a dark heart, only wanting to see the world crumble. Naruto kind of liked that in Zeno and offered to train the boy, promising that he will see the Elemental nations fall before his very eyes.
He was quick to decide which side he was on.
"Zeno, what information have you brought me concerning the Gobi Jinchuriki?" Naruto asked. The blonde was still having trouble locating the other three Jinchuriki and Sanbi has yet to reemerge. Plus he still had the celestial items to worry about. He didn't want any more gates opening. If that meant he would have to take the celestial items and keep them safe, then so be it.
"I don't have much sensei. But I have seen the carnage he has left in his wake. Like Zola-sempai stated, the Iwa Shinobi leave the village to find him on their own accord and when they do, they find themselves a gruesome death. I'm still tracking him." Zeno stated.
Naruto nodded before he turned to Ichigo who now stood at 5'3. Ichigo caught his sensei's stare, now standing at attention.
"And what about you, Ichigo? How is your progress in Kiri?" Naruto asked. Ichigo gave a sigh before he spoke.
"Alright I guess. But this new Mizukage isn't as cool as Baa-chan. It seems he doesn't really care for the people, but is training the Shinobi to the core. I hear he is making his way to Konoha to meet the Hokage in a few short days." Ichigo informed.
Naruto nodded before he continued.
"Any information on Sanbi?" Naruto wondered. Ichigo shook his head.
"No, it's still yet to arrive. But even if it does, I doubt the Mizukage will do something about it, he still needs time to strengthen his ninja." Ichigo answered.
"Alright. I want you and the other two to remain safe for the time being. I'll come pick you up myself when the time is right." Naruto answered. Ichigo nodded.
Naruto then gave his attention to Guren, before he spoke.
"Anything I should know about that concerns Oto?" Naruto asked. Guren nodded.
"Hai, Naruto-sama. The people are still warming up to your new role in leadership. There are fewer crimes as well. But it seems Konoha still has an eye on us. We have caught at least two maybe three spies in the last two weeks." Guren stated.
"That's to be expected. Since learning the death of Orochimaru, they want to see if whoever is the leader is now is a threat to them. Has any information about the civil war being false been let out?" Naruto asked.
"No Naruto-sama. Thanks to your sensory Jutsu, we have been able to be tight lipped about it." Guren stated and Naruto gave a nod.
"Good, keep that way, Guren-chan." Naruto told her and Guren nodded with a faint blush but none could see it.
"Hai, Naruto-sama." The girl replied. Naruto gave a nod as he turned to Suigetsu.
"Your turn, Suigetsu. Any sight of the Rokubi Jinchuriki?" Naruto asked. Suigetsu gave a shrug before speaking.
"I've heard some things once in a while. Apparently there was a sighting of the Rokubi itself not too far away from a small village in Mizu no Kuni. When I went there to check it out there were only residue of the Rokubi's chakra. Still trying to find it." Suigetsu stated. Naruto gave a sigh and a nod.
Naruto then met eyes with hazel and spoke.
"What is your report Rin-chan?" Naruto asked. Rin gave a nod before speaking.
"As you ordered I am going around the countries establishing alliances. Each Daimyo or leader of any country of village that I have visited so far are grateful for my medical prowess. They will soon wish to speak with you, to form an alliance." Rin reported. Naruto gave a nod then turned to Gaara.
"I have received information that two Akatsuki members are on their way to Suna as we speak. I figure they will be at Suna's gates within a few hours or so." Gaara stated. Naruto narrowed his eyes and remained silent, thinking of a course of action.
"Let them capture you and make sure a messenger bird makes it to Konoha. I have no doubt that Tsunade will send me and a few more to go help Suna out. Make sure whatever preparations that need to be done are done, we don't want the villagers to be harmed because of this." Naruto ordered.
Gaara gave a nod in understanding. "I will make sure my fracción are aware of the plan."
"Make sure of it, Gaara. Jashin." Naruto called, earning a grunt from the demon deity.
"Things are still stable. However it seems the lower demons are becoming bolder and leaving. I'm doing my best to kill them off and not getting caught. I doubt I will but if they find out what I'm doing they will be more reserved and calculating than they are." Jashin stated.
Naruto nodded. "And the locks?" Naruto asked. The demon sighed before speaking.
"Still locked. But even the lower demons can feel that damn items power leaking out. It's giving them power, something is going to have to be done soon before the low class become middle class." Jashin stated.
Naruto gave another nod before his eyes turned into a glare.
"And what of Sasuke? What is he up to?" Naruto asked. Jashin remained quiet before speaking.
"He hasn't been seen wandering around as much since your last scuffle with him; just know he won't be able to fly anymore." Jashin smirked, Naruto nodded with a small smirk of his own.
"It seems he's training as hard as ever. The item is also feeding him power as well. While he technically isn't stronger than you, you two are on the same level in terms of power. But in skill, you can handle it. While you have been in fights to the death, he has only been training and refining his skills." Jashin explained.
"Hmm. I will expect to see him soon then. Just keep your eyes peeled." Naruto ordered and Jashin nodded. Naruto turned to his mate and wife before speaking.
"What is going with you on your side Kura-hime?" Naruto asked. Kurama gave a shrug.
"Things are still operational over here. The fortress is ready to take a test run." Kurama stated. Naruto nodded before he spoke again.
"And what of the Reibi? While I know the fortress can operate without it, having it is still beneficial for it to work at full power." Naruto stated. Kurama nodded in agreement.
"Hai. As we speak we are still looking for a suitable host. As you thought, Amaru doesn't have enough hate in her system anymore to obtain it, and she isn't strong enough to control its power either. If we don't find a host soon, then were going to have to go with plan C." Kurama stated. Naruto nodded with a sigh.
"Alright then." Naruto smiled sending a wave of love to her over their bond. Kurama smiled as well, sending it back. Naruto then turned to Risa who was silent the whole time.
"Your turn, Risa-hime. How are things?" Naruto asked. Risa gave a shrug as well.
"Things have remained the same, Naruto-kun. Nothing much has changed. The bloodline users are still getting used to Uzuni. Knowing that Mei is safe and okay, puts them at ease a bit more. It will take a few years or so for them to finally relax." Risa stated.
"Well hopefully in those next few years, the empire will be up and running." Naruto stated, gaining a nod from them all.
"Oh, I visited Bulma the other day and she finished the prototype for the new armor. It really works. You're going to have to see it and test for yourself soon. She has already given me the blue prints." Risa informed.
"Excellent. Tell Bulma-chan I said thank you very much. Speaking of which, how did Jugo's ritual go?" Naruto asked. Risa gave an eye smile in response.
"It went without a hitch. He is now half Saiyan. His power has increased dramatically and his illness is gone as well. Your thinking method really did work; he's resting as we speak." Risa told him. Naruto gave a nod.
"That's good. Now we don't have to worry about it spreading. Alright, I want you all to keep it up; you have your orders, follow them." Naruto stated.
"Naruto-sama, what do we do about Akatsuki? It seems they are starting to make their move if coming to take Gaara is any indication. This could mean they will be looking for the others as well." Zola stated.
"That is true Zola. And that's exactly what I want. None of the Jinchuriki are in any danger as they can handle themselves. Within time we will find out where the leader of Akatsuki resides. If Tobi really isn't the leader then it's only a matter of time." Naruto stated.
They all gave nods in agreement, each eager to face an Akatsuki member.
"Good, we will have another meeting soon. Dismissed." Naruto ordered. Each and every one of them left except for Kurama and Naruto.
"How is Misaki-chan fairing?" Naruto asked. Risa sighed rubbing her temples.
"Still a little ball of energy. She and Emi-chan are driving Mei and I crazy. Like you figured, she was instantly happy when she saw your clone." Risa stated. Naruto chuckled giving a nod before looking towards Kurama.
"And Saito-chan?" Naruto asked. Kurama gave a smile.
"Still his usual sleeping self. He still hasn't given much fuss and still is healthy." She told him and Naruto nodded with a smile of his own.
"That's good. I'll be back soon to see you all personally. Kura-chan how are the other Biju?" Naruto asked. Kurama rolled her eyes with a huff.
"Shukaku is nowhere to be found but I heard there have been a load of killings somewhere in the east. Matatabi is somewhere in the land of Hot Springs, Chomei is with me and Fu, and Gyuki is still in Kumo with Bee and Yugito." Kurama informed. Naruto nodded.
"They are enjoying their freedom, let them have their fun. How is Kushina-chan?" Naruto asked Risa.
"Still training." Risa answered. Naruto nodded, expecting that.
"Alright then. Tell them I said hi, give my kids hugs and kisses and I will see you guys soon, love you." Naruto grinned before he vanished, Kurama following.
Risa sighed with a small smile and left to go see if her daughter was up. But as she walked out of the room and towards the upper levels of the village, she couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her gut. She hoped whatever it was, wouldn't harm her family.
But she could only hope.
With Naruto
The blonde opened his eyes and stretched. Standing up, he found himself sitting on the Nidaime Hokage's head. He looked up towards the sun with a small smirk. Shaking his head, he realized he had still had half an hour left till he left to go meet with Tsunade to find out whatever she wanted.
But for now he needed to go find Hinata. He had no interest in her whatsoever, she was only a bargaining chip for Kumo, to make sure they stayed by his side. But Naruto was thinking over his plan for Kumo.
Naruto already came to terms a couple a years ago that his actions would no doubt cause another war, and if he didn't then Akatsuki sure would. This made Naruto think heavily on his plans. The goal was to free Juubi, but he figured the other villages could care less. What he was going to war for was his empire.
Now he knew they would not take it sitting down, and if they found out about his plans then they would start a war. He already made an example out of Taki, but no one besides A knew that it was him. He guessed he would have to give make some sacrifices if need be.
He just would need to see how things with Akatsuki played out, they were a piece in this game as well, and they would be used by him. However a man with an orange swirled mask with one eye appeared in his head and made him scowl.
Naruto didn't know what it was about Tobi, but the man put him on edge. It was as if he knew everything, his every move, method, his goals, it unnerved him to no end. That was why he was on his beat the shit out of list.
The blonde shook himself before he jumped off the cliff and vanished during his fall.
Hyuuga compound
The branch members who guarded the Hyuuga compound saw Naruto. They tensed before they recognized him and eased up.
"Naruto-san, what can we do for you?" They asked. Naruto smiled at them, glad that the Branch family still were fond of him, he did promise them freedom before after all, and he planned on doing that.
"I just came to see Hinata; I need to speak with her." Naruto stated. They nodded, aware that he was here to see her since she told them. Stepping to the side, they let him in.
Naruto easily found his way to the main compound and entered the house. He met with Hiashi he talked with him for a few minutes before going to Hinata's room. He knocked on the close door and heard shuffling.
"Who is it?" Hinata asked from inside.
"It's Naruto." Naruto replied. He heard an eep before some more shuffling. After waiting for a minute or so, the door swung open to reveal Hinata with her jacket half way zipped down, allowing him to see her fishnet shirt and some cleavage. However Naruto ignored it not really interested in the girls subtle attempts to seduce him and fall for her.
"Did you finish what needed to be done Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked. Naruto gave a nod.
"Hinata-chan, I want you to do something for me." Naruto gave a soft smile. Hinata blinked and blushed, thinking of the many things he wanted her to do.
"What is it Naruto-kun?" She asked. Naruto smiled and channeled chakra into his eyes, activating his Rinnegan.
"Stare into my eyes." Naruto ordered as the tomoes started to spin. Hinata didn't know what was going on but she felt like she was being pulled into something. It was like she was starting to fall into a trance.
The tomoes finally morphed into its Eternal Mangekyou Form, as Naruto whispered two words.
"Kyoka Suigetsu."
Hinata's pale lavender eyes dulled just a bit before regaining its focus. She blinked to see Naruto giving her a loving smile.
"Are you ready to go, Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked with an eye smile. Hinata blushed and gave a nod and walked off with him.
But in reality, Hinata was still standing there with a dazed look on her face. Naruto nodded to himself, satisfied. He led her back to her bed and closed the door before he left.
After leaving the compound he left for the Hokage tower. Once he arrived and walked into the room he raised a brow when he saw the four elders, Jiraiya and Tsunade in the room.
"Close the door Naruto." Tsunade ordered. Naruto nodded and shut the door before standing in front of her desk.
"Now you must be wondering why you are here, aren't you?" Tsunade smirked. Naruto just gave a nonchalant shrug.
"It crossed my mind." He admitted. They all nodded before they spoke.
"Well Naruto, there are three things we want to talk about. First is your rank…" Tsunade started.
"Your skills…" Sarutobi added.
"And your heritage." Jiraiya finished. Naruto simply narrowed his eyes slightly in mock thought.
"Let's start with your rank. From what we have seen today, we know that you are way above a simple Jounin rank, you are one of Konoha's elite fighters. So Jiraiya, sensei and I talked over it, and we wanted to present you the title of Fox Sannin." Tsunade grinned.
Naruto's eyes widened as he really wasn't expecting that. What he did expect was a proposition to become an Anbu member, or even be named the future Rokudaime Hokage, but not a Sannin. It seemed more realistic than being Hokage.
"Why?" Naruto asked simply.
"You were able to easily beat Kakashi, one of our best Ninjutsu specialists with ease, putting him on the ropes. You then nearly destroyed Kurenai's psyche only one minutes after I began the test with a powerful Genjutsu, which you yourself created. You completely dominated Gai in a Taijutsu match, with speed and power. While I'm sure if he took off his weights and released his gates, you would be equal, but you beat him nonetheless." Tsunade explained.
"And then you beat me as well without losing your cool and staying focused. And I have to agree with you that if we did go all out against each other, one of us would have died." Jiraiya stated with a smirk.
"You deserve this promotion, Naruto. I would take it; it will allow the villagers to see you as Naruto Uzumaki, instead of the Kyuubi." Hiruzen stated. Naruto scoffed at him.
"I already told you old man, the villagers opinions mean nothing to me. As long as I know that I am not Kyuubi and that I am Naruto Uzumaki, that's all that matters to me." Naruto stated.
The adults were surprised by this but kept quiet.
"But fine, I'll accept the title." Naruto stated. 'Not like I'm going to keep it for long anyway.' He muttered in thought.
"Good, we will explain the privileges you have at a later date, we still need to have it filed and such. Now moving on." Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and nodded to him.
"Naruto, we want to know if you would accept the Nami…"
"No." Naruto interrupted, surprising them by his answer.
"Like I said, I want nothing to do with Namikaze and his money. The only thing I'm willing to take from him, is his knowledge of Jutsu. That includes the Hiraishin no Jutsu, but I already know it. Other than his Jutsu, I could care less." Naruto told them.
"But Naruto, he is your father; he gave his life up for this village to protect it and you." Sarutobi stated, earning a glare from the teen.
"What the hell does have to do with me? A father is supposed to be there for his children, to love and raise them. Not seal a demon inside of them and expect them to be a loyal weapon to a village with foolish villagers who scorned and isolated them." Naruto scowled.
"Naruto, is that why you hate Minato? Because he sealed Kyuubi into you?" Jiraiya asked softly. Naruto glared at him.
"It's more than that fool! He made a life changing decision for me and didn't even give me anything to help me live, for people to at least raise me and love me." Naruto answered coldly.
"He gave us to you!" Jiraiya stated pointed at himself and Tsunade.
"Yeah, but where the hell were you hunh?! Where were both of you?! Not in my life till much later that's for sure! Listen here and listen well…" Naruto ordered.
"I am not, some overly optimistic brat that will just take anything and everything like some kind of helpless bitch. I will not allow those who were supposed to raise me but didn't impose themselves on me and expect me to accept that. You three had your chances, and you blew it." Naruto stated.
"I will not, accept that foolish man known as the Yondaime, as my father. I utterly refuse. I refuse his money, I refuse his house, I refuse his ideals, and I refuse him. This topic is done and over with, and if it is brought up again, someone is going to receiving a mouthful of my fist, am I clear?" Naruto demanded his Rinnegan spinning and pulsing at the same time.
The three gave nods while the other three remained silent. Naruto leaned back and deactivated his eyes.
"Now what else did you want to talk about?" Naruto asked. This time it was Danzo who spoke, considering Tsunade and the other two were still in disbelief to what just happened.
"Your skills. In almost all of your fights, we saw you use black lightning. Only the Sandaime Raikage could, so how can you?" Danzo asked. Naruto gave a shrug.
"Because of my eyes. My Rinnegan boosts up all chakra elements. So if I were to use fire Jutsu while channeling chakra into my Rinnegan, I would be using the Amaterasu. I just have been using my lightning element for so long, its second nature." Naruto answered, it was true.
"Then what about that flying Rasengan, what was it called? Rasenshuriken?" Homura asked. Naruto smirked.
"Another, more powerful variation of the Rasengan and wind style Rasengan. While the wind style version of the Rasengan just adds more devastating power into the attack, the Rasenshuriken attacks the victim on a physical and cellular level." Naruto stated as he started to explain the power behind the attack.
Tsunade was surprised by this while the others were shocked. Naruto also explained how he was able to throw it without it blowing up right away or dispelling.
"Then what about that Katana you used? If I'm not mistaken, before your trip you used a Chokuto instead. I could feel power radiating from that Katana you used." Danzo stated.
"I did use a Chokuto before. But during one of my many Kenjutsu spars against my grandmother…it broke." Naruto sweat dropped at the memory.
"So instead of getting a new one, she decided to teach me a Jutsu that was learned by the Uzumaki. It was called Soul embrace. It allowed me to delve deep into my soul and pull out a weapon that was crafted by it. However only Uzumaki can do this technique." Naruto explained.
"So does that mean all Uzumaki weapons from their soul is a Katana?" Koharu asked. Naruto shook his head.
"No, but it is what is preferred. The weapon can be anything, a hammer or a staff, it doesn't matter. But these weapons are somewhat sentient. They don't have walking, talking minds of their own, but they do feel emotions. Like whenever I use my sword, it feels joy and a craving for battle." Naruto answered.
"Do they have names?" Jiraiya asked, remembering the Kanji for storms on the blade itself. Naruto gave a nod.
"Yes, my Katana's name is Susanoo, God of Storms. Using Susanoo, increased my power of Water, Wind and Lighting, which are all the elements used to create a storm. Kaa-chan also had a powerful Katana which earned her title of 'Red death'. I don't remember the name but it all depends on the soul of the wielder." Naruto finished.
They all nodded before Tsunade spoke.
"Now tell us more about your Genjutsu, Kyoka Suigetsu, was it?" She asked. Naruto nodded and began to explain its powers again.
"So is the victim able to escape like a normal Genjutsu?" Danzo asked. Naruto shook his head.
"No. Even if they realize they are in a Genjutsu, which is very and highly unlikely, and flare their chakra it will be useless. Also someone on the outside cannot wake them up, or tell if they are in a Genjutsu by their chakra pattern like normal Genjutsu. The only way to be released is if I release it myself or they die." Naruto shrugged.
They all frowned at this and wondered if the Jutsu could be taught to someone, finding it very useful. But Naruto told them it can't; it can only be used because of his Rinnegan.
After a few more hours of letting them know of very little of his skills, Naruto was allowed to go home. But he didn't. Instead he went somewhere to meet someone.
It was time to start part two of his plan.
Alright guys, there is the tenth chapter. Sorry it was so short; I'm trying to cut back. But I hoped you guys liked the action packed chapter.
Now I want to inform you all that I got the Kyoka Suigetsu Genjutsu idea from Genjutsu Legend, which was a beast ass story. I also want to talk about Naruto's improved Rinnegan a bit.
The silver eyes are the sign that he still has the Rinnegan while the tomoes mean he has the Sharingan as well. Since he absorbed Madara into his soul, the man's techniques became his, which meant his EMS as well. And since Naruto has Madara's EMS and the Rinnegan, it will just be the Eternal Mangekyou Rinnegan, EMR.
Also for those who like Master of the force, I'm thinking on whether I should move on to clone wars with a major time skip, and have flashbacks of Naruto's adventures on Elum (Elemental nations) or continue on with the Shinobi arc.
It's really bugging me and what's stopping me from updating. So I set up a poll on my profile, go check it out and vote, as it would help me greatly.
That's it…so…
REVIEW!
