Chapter 16 - A clone of a clone of a clone

Ugh I'm sooo bored" a blond sitting behind a tree dejectedly kicked a rock. His only reason for being here? His clones had gotten so bored watching students who failed walk out, they had popped themselves. 'Seriously, I gave them one task and they didn't even last thirty minutes.' Naruto wasn't in a good mood. He promised Hinata he would meet her at her fathers Gala.

Granted it wasn't supposed to start for another two hours, but he still wanted to spend time with her. His thoughts started to wonder to his previous life. He had never tried for a relationship before, and was a little embarrassed to admit he hadn't seen Hinata's MANY obvious signs. Granted he didn't know what he would have done, had he noticed. But he cared for Hinata, and wished he could have done something about it sooner.

It didn't help that now they were in an ACTUAL relationship, he really didn't know what to do. He'd never had one before nor did he care at the time, so he never thought about it. But now, oh boooyyy. 'What do I do? Take her on dates? I mean i can't really afford to until I start doing missions with Kakashi-sensei and...' Naruto's face dropped "SHIT!" He loudly proclaimed as he realized a huge mistake he had made.

Sasuke would always be put on Kakashi's team so he could train Sauske on how to use the Sharingan properly, and the only reason Naruto was on Sasuke's team to begin with was because the deadlast in a class was put on a team with the top male and top female so they could help them improve.

But now that he and Sasuke were almost tied for top male(the results wouldn't be revealed until team assignments the next day) it was almost a guarantee they wouldn't be on the same team. And to much shit in his past revolved around Sasuke and the old team seven like the mission to Wave, the chunnin exams and subsequent retrieval mission.

More than anything he had to make sure Orochimaru didn't put a curse mark on Sauske, that was what pushed him over the edge and made him leave to begin with. But if he was right it was looking like Him, Hinata and Kiba would be on a team, meaning him and Sakura would most likely be paired up with Shino, as he couldn't see the Ina-Shika-Cho trio being split up. And he didn't have anything against Shino, but team seven wouldn't survive against Zabuza and Haku if they got sent to Wave.

He put his finger to his chin, how could he make sure he and Sasuke got put on the same team? The only thing he could think of would be to go to the old man and ask him directly, but he couldn't think of a good enough reason to give Hiruzen, that would convince him to break tradition. But then again, the Sasuke from this timeline was worlds apart from the one he grew up with.

This Sasuke was more ...relaxed, but not as arrogant. He was more social with his classmates, not exactly friends with them per say but there wasn't any animosity like there had been. Something had happened to Sasuke, something had changed him. 'The way he acts to me has changed dramatically as well. He doesn't treat me with the same contempt as he did. In fact he's even been cordial with me, respectdull even. He's also stronger than he was before.'

Would it really be a bad thing, if he let Sasuke do his own thing? He was making an effort to work with his future teammates, so maybe? Naruto shook his head 'can't take that chance, I'm still the only one who knows Orochimaru plans to infiltrate the Chunin Exams. And unless I can find evidence that he's the Kazekage in disguise I can't tell the old man, he'll never believe me.

"Dammit!" He looked up, and saw Chato had just come out of the school, punching the wall with a scowl on his face. Flanking him was Dan and Kaylie, both looking sad or depressed. They hadn't passed the test it would seem.

'At least that stayed the same.' He edged a little closer trying to listen in on their conversation.

"Calm down Chato, we failed so what? We can just try again next year, and next year we will succeed." Kaylie placed an a gentle hand on Chato's shoulder and tried to give him a reassuring smile.

Chato just growled and pushed her hand off "ok and? How is it we have a class of twenty-four people, and only nine pass, seven of which are clan heads? They're being shown favoritism and I've had enough of it! Even that blonde idiot Naruto passed!"

"That's enough Chato" Dan decides to finally speak up. "We failed, and there's nothing we can do about it, looks like we will have to prepare and study and train for next year."

"But what if there was a way?" A voice called through the open door. All three kids turned and saw a brown haired man and a blond woman step out, both wearing chunin vest.

"Awzina-sensie, Kobishuma-sensie" said Kaylie "what do you mean? Will we be allowed to retake the test?"

Awzina smiled "no Kaylie-san, but there is a secret test we teachers are allowed to give students who fail you see. It's a mock stealth mission, which you can't tell anyone about understand?"

The three looked at each other and nodded, Chato stepped up "alright fine, what do we have to do?"

Kobishuma answered him "we will hide a scroll in the Hokage's office, for the sake of this test it will be labeled forbidden. Your mission is simple, get the scroll without being caught, and bring it to us by midnight tonight in training twenty-five, if you succeed then you will be granted the rank gennin."

Kaylie looked concern "but Sensei shouldn't it be Iruka-sensei or Mizuki-sensei who gives us this mission? No offense but you're the teachers of first and second year students."

"No Kaylie, Mizuki is only an assistant this year, he hasn't been told about the secret test and Iruka is known to never offer it to his students. He prefers instead to hold them back."

"Kaylie stop it, here's our chance to prove to the clan heirs we're just as much a ninja as they are. Don't worry we're going to get you that scroll no matter what!"

Naruto had heard enough, he snuck away without any being the wiser. When he was clear from the school he made a clone "alright your only mission is to go to the old man and tell him what we saw. Do NOT pop yourself before then."

The clone just raised an eyebrow "or what?" It replied in a snarky voice.

Naruto grumbled as he walked away. Damn clones being smartasses. He had his head down, so he didn't notice that he and another figure who also had their head down were set in a course to collide with one another...until he heard a cough and looked up. Standing in front of him was a lean muscled man with white hair and pale grey eyes. He was wearing a skin tight black shirt that didn't have sleeves, green cargo pants and worn black boots.

Something about this man was off to Naruto. He had never seen him before, but then again he hadn't met everyone in the elemental nations. "My bad, I didn't see you there."

"It's alright Uzumaki-san, I was actually looking for you."

That took him by surprise "you know who I am?"

The figure shook his head "not personally, but Kami-sama sent me here to give you this" he reached into his pocket and pulled out a palm sized flat piece of earth with some kind of light blue rune etched into it. "This is a spirit sigil, when ever you have a moment to yourself just channel some chakra into this. What to do from there will be abundantly clear."

Naruto hesitated for a moment "I'm sorry, why isn't Kami giving me this herself?"

"She is busy investigating how En-En escaped his cell with Shinigami-sama. This will transport your consciousness to a pocket space, were you can communicate with her, so i advise you to sit down before using that."

He handed Naruto the slab of rock before starting down the street. Naruto stopped him for a brief second "wait, was that the only reason you came here? To give me this? And what's you're name again?"

"My name is Obaron, and no giving you the spirit sigil was not my only mission, I am tasked with finding Niyari to Neko and keeping track of his movements, so that when Kami-sama and Shinigami-sama are ready they can strike him down. Now I must be on my way." Obaron bowed slightly, and kept walking.

Naruto stared at the sigil, it was heavier than it looked, and he could feel the chakra radiating off of it. Any sensory ninja in Konoha could feel it probably, which could be a problem. He sealed the stone in a scroll, he'd deal with it later right now he had a party to get too. And he was almost there when his clones popped and he got their memories back. He froze in place his mouth agape his finger twitched before he turned around and ran away.

The clone Naruto made his way to the Hokage's tower without incident. It was the middle of the day, so he expected more people to be walking the streets. As he was approaching the building the Mizukage and her entourage stepped out. It was then Naruto noticed two things, instead of a single large blade, Chojuro had two slim blades strapped to his back. And the second thing wasn't something he noticed so much as felt like he had met the brunette before.

Mei smiled "ah hello again Naruto-kun, how are you today?"

"I'm fine Mei-sama, how are you? Did you just get done meeting with Hokage-jiji?"

"Yeah we did" she nodded and then her shoulders slumped forward and Mei looked incredibly tired "I didn't realize it when we left Kiri that securing aid from the Leaf would involve so much trouble."

Naruto sighed "let me guess, civilian council giving you trouble?"

"Yeah, needless trouble I believe."

Naruto shrugged his shoulders "they're not all bad people" inside his head he could hear the fox snicker, "they're probably just looking out for Konoha. But if it helps, I firmly believe helping Kiri will benefit us."

"Thank you Naruto-kun, now if only i could get them to see it too." She started looking up and down the road and sighed "great last night we had an escort, do any of you remember how to get back to the hotel?" She looked back at the trio of Most ninja all of which shook her head. She did notice Rozu casting quick glances at the blonde kid. Was that worry? 'Was this the target she was sent to assassinate? That would mean this kid is is the Jinchuriki of the Leaf. Hmm...this could troublesome ...or maybe...'

Naruto didn't trust the too innocent look in Mei's eyes as she turned back to him. "Oh Naruto-kun, would you mind showing us the way back to our hotel?"

This was a perfect opportunity to figure out how he knew this chick, and maybe learn what had happened in Kiri while he was at it. But the Original Naruto had given him a mission, "I've got something important I need to tell Hokage-jiji but" he crossed his fingers "Shadow clone jutsu" another Naruto appeared, that meant both of them didn't have as long a run time but it was the beat he could do. "He can show you the way right me?"

The clone Naruto gave him a thumbs up as the first clone continued to walk inside. "Alright, which Hotel are you guys staying at?"

"Oh we're staying at the Sleeping Boar's Inn Naruto-san" Chojuro piped. As he talked Naruto noticed something strange about him.

'Oy Kurama didn't Blue here used to wield a single giant blade, one of the seven Swords of the bloody swordsman?'

Kurama yawned as Naruto apparently woke her from a nap. "Yeah kit, he did. But keep in mind you never met him until the Kage summit, that's not for another three years. You don't know what he went through during this time. Though maybe he can teach you something since Iruka's 'friend' didn't want to show you."

'Bigger problem, the Sleeping Bear is for the wealthy and influential of Konoha, no way are they gonna let me in without causing a scene.'

"Naruto-kun? Yoohoo, you there?" Mei whistled knocking on Naruto-s forehead. Naruto blushed and back stepped, when he focused he was staring right into Mei's bust.

"Sorry Mei, got distracted, I can take you there."

Mei smiled "oh great in that case care to join us for some tea? There are some questions I have for you regarding Konoha, like were are your infamous hotsprings, and the best place to buy dango."

"Mei-san, I'm a clone so the tea would be wasted on me, and the Sleeping Bear is a rich persons hotel, they won't let me anywhere near there let alone inside."

"Don't worry, I'm sure I can be persuasive. Now which way are we going?"

"This way, oh Chojuro-san I couldn't help but notice you're swords."

"Ah yes" Chojuro pulled them out, "these are the Kiba blades and basically when you send chakra into them" blue electricity zapped through the blades with a quick static noise "they convert it into Raiton chakra, but I only just acquired them. My real blade, Hiramekarei was stolen from me."

'I knew it, guarantee you it has something to do with Jezebel and Alistair.' He took notice of Rozu sneezing. "Oh that's neat. Could you show me how to fight with a blade while you're still here? I have a few scrolls but no real teacher."

Chojuro nodded "yeah I don't mind Naruto-san."

Mei smiled, maybe the staying at the Leaf wouldn't be so bad after all, except...she shifted her head slightly, Rozu was still making glances at Naruto, and was that worry she saw? This girl stared down a berserk Yagura without flinching. But she wouldn't say anything for the time being. Chojuro drifted over to Naruto, giving him pointers and tips as they made their way down the street.

Mei was sure at least Ao and Rozu noticed the staring, she was a busty lady and the Mizukage they were used to it. What they weren't used probably was these stares were directed at Naruto and instead of awe or perverted lust they saw disgust and hatred. 'Definitely the jinchuruki then. Which means Rozu needs to be careful, if it comes out that she's the one who attacked him it could strain the early relations between Kiri and Konoha. Gotta deal with it quietly.'

"...and remember don't let the end of the blade drop to much or it's gonna leave you wide open for a counter attack. From what you said your style uses charging enemies momentum against them, so it's biggest weakness would be slow and calculated fighters and ...yes Mei-sama?" The red head had sped up her steps to catch up to Chojuro and Naruto who had been a few feet in front of the rest.

"Ah nothing Chojuro, just wanted to ask Naruto how far we are is all."

"Oh it's just a couple of blocks away, Mei-san."

With Clone A, some minutes ago

"Listen brat, Hokage-sama is in a meeting with Uchiha-san. An important meeting, so why don't you do all of us a favor and..hey I'm talking to you! Seriously why does everyone do this?! Now i see why Sakami-san quit"

'Wow new assistant, same personality, how does he always pick them like that?' Sarutobi was indeed seeing Sasuke, both of whom were looking at him. 'Wonder what he's here for?' The cry of Hanrana in his lap alerted him to the female Hawk sitting in his lap. And then there was that.

Naruto had been surprised when Sasuke had taken to regularly bringing her to school with him, back then he called her Saiban, but for some reason changed it to Hanrana meaning rebellion or rebel. How would that effect the timeline? How would it change Sasuke? Well the most obvious thing was his evolving relationship with Kiba. He could often being seen going to the Inuzuka household to spar and train with Kiba, or get check up on Hanrana.

"Welcome Naruto congratulations on passing your genin exams, how can I help you?" Sarutobi smiled, Naruto's visit were becoming less and less frequent, and while he didn't mind Naruto growing up and becoming more self dependent, he also missed see him so much.

"Straight to the point Hokage-jiji, I went to the academy to ask Iruka-sensei a question and overheard two chunin trying to get some failed civilian students to steal the forbidden scroll. They said it was some secret test they could take to become genin."

"Ah yes, I am aware Naruto, young Sasuke here came to tell me the exact same thing."

Naruto looked at Sasuke with a raised eyebrow "they said you beat me at becoming top male, and that there was a test I could take to earn some extra points. I told them I had more important things to worry about and came told the Hokage."

"Sasuke passing up a way to win? They grow up so fast." Naruto said with a fake tear in his eye.

"Yeah, yeah do-Naruto. Whatever I needed to tall to you anyways, the Fourth was known to use several Fire jutsu, though he didn't use them often. I was wondering if you might let me take a look at them."

That took him by surprise, "what about the infamous Uchiha library? Wasn't your family like the master of Katon jutsu?"

"Hmm...yes well I've already learned what I can from the Uchiha library, everything else will have to wait until I get stronger. I'd be willing to let you take a look from time to time in exchange."

And that was an even bigger shock, Sasuke willing to give up Uchiha secrets? He really was a different person. A complete mirror match to the one from Naruto's original timeline. "Uh yeah sure, I'm just a clone i don't think I have enough chakra to get you to my house but talk to me tomorrow, I should be free."

It warmed Hiruzen's heart to see the two bonding. A feat he was sure would never happen. "Well kids I'm glad to see you two getting along finally. And Sasuke, if you would permit me I would very much like to see the Uchiha scrolls as well, I would let you see some Sarutobi scrolls for your troubles."

"That's fine with me Hokage-sama. Oy Naruto you said you were a clone right?"

"Yea what's-" Sasuke punched straight through the clones head. "You have a good day Hokage-sama, feel free to come by anytime." Sasuke bowed and left, Hanrana on his shoulder.

"And here we are Mei-san." The Sleeping Boar Inn was longer than it was tall, more of a motel than anything else. It was a very fancy motel though, with dark and muted shades of green and brown making up the color scheme, there was a reason this place was for the wealthy. "This is as far as I go, thanks for the tips Chojuro-san."

Naruto bowed hut just as he was about to dispel himself Mei stopped him. "Wait Naruto-kun, won't you join us. I have so many questions I want to ask you."

"But Mei, they're not gonna let me in. They don't like me, I'm sorry but maybe you can find me tomorrow? I'd be happy to answer your questions then."

"Please Naruto-kun, what if I make it worth your while?" "She reached into her bag and tossed Naruto a scroll that was closed with a wax seal, it had the kanji for, ironically, sleeping dragon on it. "Answer some questions and I'll give you, the real you, this tomorrow."

Naruto stared at the scroll, he had another thirty minutes before he would run out of chakra, and he had already exhausted what sword scrolls he could get his hands on. A scroll on advance work would go miles for him, until he could get a real teacher. Maybe Yugao? Or that Chunin instructor with the cough, Hayato right?

"Ok Mei-san you got a deal."

Mei smiled "good Naruto-kun. Now follow me" she turned and walked inside, Naruto linking with her three guards as the bell hop opened the door for her with a bow, not seeing him. The clerc at the front counter was a different matter.

"Ah hello Mizukage-sama, I hope your meeting with the council and the Hokage went well?" He asked barley able to keep his eyes off of her 'assets", until he saw the blonde behind her.

"Yes Mikuru-san, things went well, but I'm tired. I'll be going to my room."

"Right Mizukage-sama, have a wonderful night." She started walking and her gauwrds and Naruto started following her. "Ahem, where are you going boy? I told you, you're not allowed to be here, leave."

"It's fine Mikuru-san, he's with me for the time being. My own personal escort through Konoha."

Mikuru, an older man with a receding hair line, bowed "I'm sorry Mizukage-sama but I must object this boy" he all but spat "is nothing but trouble. It would be best if you" a wave of KI(killer intent) shut him up as Rozu was in front of him, a dark aura covered her.

"Do not tell the Mizukage what you think is best for her. She's already decided that blondy is going to be here guest. Unless you want a report to the Hokage about the trouble you're causing, I'd suggest you shut up and let us get to our room." Naruto's eyes cut sharply to her form, he recognized that voice.

Mikuru was sweating bullets, and all ninja present could tell he was close to pissing himself. "My apologies ma'am, Mizukage-sama. Enjoy you're evening." He bowed and didn't look up until all five ninja had stepped into an elevator.

"Come now Rozu-chan, I had that handled, i had a plan." Mei faked a pout.

"No offence Mei, your plan involved more talking than that pig of a man deserved."

"I agree with Rozu" Ao said, Naruto noticed the round of shocked looks, he did too "what, she had a point. Had she not said something I would have."

"Right" a sweat drop formed on her head. It was silent until they got to the Kage suit, which was a grandiose room, Naruto took note of the two couches. Obviously Mei slept on the bed, and two slept on the couch but what about the third person? He didn't see any sleeping bags. "Me and Rozu-chan share the bed." He jumped when Mei whispered in his ear.

When he landed his face was beat red, and Mei was smirking. 'Was she always this playful?'

"Well Mei, we're here, what did you want to ask me?"

"First things first Naruto-kun, I'm hungry Ao, Chojuro would you boys mind bringing us some food?"

"But Mei-sama" Chojuro moaned "can't we just get some like we did yesterday?"

Ao slapped him upside his head "it's not your place to question her Chojuro, come let's find a fine quality stand."

As they were leaving he just made out Chojuro complaining under his breath. He looked towards the now sitting Mei, leaning back on her arms. "You and Rozu here know each other." She said abruptly, startling Rozu and making her and Naruto stare at each other. Naruto could see something in Rozu's eyes. Hesitation? Fear? Why?

Naruto rubbed the back of his head "yeah I do recognize you Rozu-san, but I'm sorry I can't remember how I know you."

Rozu looked away "Mei!" She whispered/barked "you know how he knows me!"

"Yes I do" she responded "and I want it dealt with before it becomes a bigger problem."

"Bigger problem? I tried to kill him and I'm pretty sure I killed his girlfriend!"

Mei's eyes shot open, she hadn't known that. "You didn't tell me that!"

"Well you never asked!"

"Ahem?" Both women slowly turned their heads and saw Naruto had drawn his sword and was pointing it at Rozu, his Killing Intent rising slowly "let me clarify something Jezebel, you almost killed my girlfriend." How could he not have seen it, all she did was dye her hair brown, that was it. But she acted like a completely different person.

"Now Naruto-kun, let's be civil and talk about this." Mei stood up, putting herself between Naruto and Rozu. This kid had just passed his genin exam right? Shouldn't pose too much of a problem. Well actually he was a shadow clone so if he popped before Mei could calm him down then there might be trouble.

"Talk, like she did with Hinata? Please, Mei-sama, that woman is a cold hearted killer."

"That cold hearted killer is my close friend, ally and the person who single handedly stopped the civil war in Kiri!"

That gave Naruto reason to pause. He didn't have time for this, he was about to run out of chakra "stay here, the real me is on the way.",

In a matter of ten minutes Naruto managed to sneak his way past the attendant and back into Mei's room, Chojuro and Ao had yet to return. Jezebel or Rozu, whatever she was calling herself, was sitting on the couch staring at the ground and Mei was looking over the balcony. 'Must be a Kage thing' Naruto thought to himself.

Upon arrival both women met his gaze. But his eyes were fixed on the brunette of the room. Mei stepped forward "you deserve an explanation Naruto-kun."

"What I would like is a private conversation with Jezebel."

"That's not my name" said person snapped "it's Rozu, if you're gonna talk to me use it."

That gave Naruto pause. He couldn't claim to actually know Jez-Rozu, he had only seen her the one time, but she seemed to be acting different. She had a different look in her eyes. There was something there he recognized. Something in her eyes reminded him of Sasuke.

"Fine Rozu, you attacked me and almost killed an important friend of mine. You did so with a smile. Why should I believe you've changed?"

Rozu looked away "you shouldn't" her hair covered her eyes "because I don't think I've changed ..."

SURPRISE FLASHBACK NO JUTSU!

Jezebel got up and quickly went over to him "what the fucking hell you goddamn dumbass? Why the fuck did you do that?" She promptly started trying her best to bandage his wound but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her down. Everybody could see Tatsuya whispering in her ear, but no one heard her, only Matsuya did.

"It's ok Jezebel-chan. I'll gladly do whatever it takes to protect my friends."

"Don't say that you fool, you don't know me or the things I've done."

"I do actually, ROZU, Kami-sama told me. She told me everything said she had a plan for you."

"What..but then why?" She said the second part, barley a whisper.

Matsuya smiled to himself "because I always believe that every person is capable of doing good. You are capable of being a good person."

"Wha...?"

"Please Watch over Mei, she's going to feel like shes fighting by herself. If you do anything now, please protect her."

Jezebel stared at his pleading eyes "fine you idiot..."

"Oh, by the way, why did you use a fake name? You have such a pretty name..." his eyes shifted the approaching redhead "Mei you know I don't like it when you cry..."

Flashback no endo!

"Only my situation has changed. Besides, I made a promise to someone."

Mei had a somber look "Naruto-Kun, whoever she used to be, she's a different person now."

"Believe it or not brat, I don't want to kill you. What I WANT is Alistair, I want to kill him."

Just like Sasuke. That look, that look so full of pain and anger was the need for revenge. Just like Sasuke. She had a reason, a personal reason. He had hurt her at some point in her life.

"You had a mission, won't your employer be mad?" What about the Shinigami?

"He got overruled by his superior." Kami?

"Ok" Mei chimed in "what am I missing here?"

"Nothing Mei-san. I'll let it go for now" he turned away "so long as you don't try and kill me or mine again, I won't report it to the Hokage."

Roze looked away with a huff "yeah thanks I guess."

Naruto walked out and left the building. It was dark, Hinata was asleep probably. Damn, he'd have to make up for it. Maybe he could get her some flowers? Oh and chocolates! What numbskull tries to say sorry with just flowers?

Somewhere in the Hyuga compound, a certain Hyuga woke up with a massive sneeze.

Right now he had a more important conversation to attend, he pulled the spirit sigil out of his pocket. He was home in no time at all. It was getting late, most people were retiring for the night. He went through his door, his house was just as messy as when he first walked in. Maybe a few books had been moved here or there but that was about it.

He sat on his couch, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and channeled chakra through the stone. He didn't open his eyes until he felt the wind brushing against his face. He popped one eye open and a silent scream escaped his lips. He was flying upward at high speeds, the ground a small dot behind him at this point.

When the black of space had completely enveloped his sight his body fell slightly, gravity pushing him against an invisible floor. "Um hello...Kami-sama?"

Kami's angelic form faded into existence, hovering over Naruto. "Ah hello, my child. I am glad Obaron found you safely."

"Yes Kami-sama, but why?"

"So we may talk Naruto-Kun. It isn't easy possessing one of my followers without killing them after a certain time. Sadly a mortal host isn't made to accept divinity like myself."

Naruto sweatdropped, that was a little oversharing. "Right...I think you promised to tell me about En-En."

"Right" her voice had lost a little bit of her cheerfulness. "I won't sugarcoat the truth. En-En used to be an angle I created, a long time ago when I made Heaven. Through trickery and deceit he took some of my power, he was jealous of mortals. He thought I was giving them more attention than I was him and his siblings. He stole a part of my power and left. I don't know where he went but he left. When he came back he was different had powers he shouldn't have."

Naruto sat down engrossed in Kami's story.

"When he came back he declared war upon heaven, he went down to earth hidden from me and raised an army of mortals against me." A single tear fell down her cheek "it hurt to see my beloved children turned on me. My brother and I fought and defeated him, sealing him away in a cage in hell, farther away than any other daemon. Only I and My brother were allowed to see him. But the damage he caused had been done. He had brought violence to the land. Clans fought clans in a battle to see who was stronger. It became known as the warring era."

"That Hashirama would end by creating the first Kage summit."

"Yes, Naruto-Kun. It was a difficult time."

"How did En-En escape in the first place?"

"When my brother and I sent you, Kurama and Neji backward in time we drew the attention of some powerful people. A trickster thought to cause trouble and tried to mind control En-En. But he failed and En-En escaped. But no worries Naruto-Kun my brother and I bested En-En once we can do so again."

"Why haven't you done so already, if I may ask?"

"En-En has found a way to ward himself from us. I sent Obaron to Earth with the sole purpose of finding him and delivering the spirit sigil."

"Alright then what can I do to help, seems he's curious about me. Why you chose to send me back."

Kami's hand caressed the side of Naruto's face "nothing my dear child. You would have to train for a million lifetimes before you could match En-En. Leave him to us, he is our problem. Just focus on the task we gave you ok?"

"Fine Kami-sama, but can I ask one more question?"

"Go ahead Naruto-Kun."

"Jezebel, or Rozu what are your plans for her?"

"Different from Shinigami's plan Naruto-Kun. I won't divulge anything else, it is a path she must travel without your help."

"Ok Kami-sama, I guess I'll just focus on passing Kakashi-sensei's test tomorrow, provided I get Kakashi as my sensei. You wouldn't happen to be able to help with that could you?"

"I can try Naruto-Kun, but I never involve myself with mortal affairs directly. No promises."

Naruto nodded "thank you Kami-sama. So uhhh.." he scratched the back of his head "how do I leave?" The spirit sigil had stayed with his body.

"Ah, that would be me, good luck Naruto-Kun." Kami waved her hand and as Naruto faded away, another person emerged. Wearing a dark brown coat that covered most of the body, and a jade green cat mask with an enormous grin on it.

"Hello, mother."

"Niyari. I see you still remember how to use the spirit sigil you stole."

"Aww come on, we haven't spoken to each other in eons and that's all you have to say to me?" En-En sounded offended.

"I'd much rather put you back in your cage where you belong, Niyari."

"Yes I bet you would mother, but without that loaf, you call a brother there's not much you can do huh? Being a god of creation and not destruction really should come with some fine print, don't you think?"

"Is there a point to this conversation, or is it so you can hear yourself talk Niyari?"

"Oh I was dying to know what made Naruto-Kun so special, but listening to that conversation just now I figured it out. Still, trying to make up for your past mistakes mother? Here I was thinking you finally let it go. But let me tell you something" he held his arms out in front of him "at the end of this little game you and I are playing, he'll just be another failure."

"ENOUGH!" Kami's voice boomed and echoed with an authority that demanded respect. En-En started to pretend like he was shaking.

"Oh so scary, but we both know you're just a projection, you can't do anything here unless you physically come here, mother. Until next time" he waggled a couple of fingers in her direction "ta ta now." En-En disappeared as he was walking away, his back turned towards Kami.

When he was gone Kami let out an earth-shattering roar. "AAAHHHHHH" she was huffing but managed to compose herself. "Until next time En-En." She disappeared too.
