Chapter Four: Bell Test


Naruto awoke to the blazing sun in his face screaming "wake up"

"So today you'll see if your plan worked" said Kurumi in his head

"Yeah, if it doesn't I just embarrassed myself these past four years getting the minimum passing score on my tests" replied Naruto

He left his bed and started changing into his new appearance. Since he was starting his shinobi career he decided to change his appearance to be more fitting for a shinobi.

He went with mostly dark colors since it's more fitting for a shinobi. He of course would have preferred to wear orange but orange isn't very 'shinobi like' and plus if he put too much orange Kurumi would probably kill him.

He wore black ANBU pants with tape wrapped around his right thigh with standard black shinobi sandles. He had a custom made dark grey shuriken and kunai hoster, inside has a seal for the pocket dimension where he has hundereds upon hundreds of kunai and shuriken. He wore a dark grey vest (think Kakashi's vest while he was Hokage) with the Uzumaki swirl on the back. He had medical tape wrapped around his neck, underneath the vest was a standard long sleeved black shirt and black fingerless gloves. He put on the mask he made using the Creation of All Things Technique and utilizing theYin Release to matrialize it and made it out of his chakra (think Menma's mask from Road to Ninia movie except instead of red coloring it had orange coloring).

Kurumi told him it's the same technique that was used to make the tailed beasts, Rikudo Sennin used the Yin Release to make their bodies and Yang Release to give them life. Man if Rikudo Sennin used this technique to make the Biju in his death bed he must have been terrifying.

He finished up his daily ramen breakfast and activated the gravity seals he had on my legs at level 10 (equivalent to 350 pounds on each leg). He left in a Lightning Shunshin and arrived to the academy doors.

When he went inside everyone looked at him strangely, he then realized he still had his mask on so he took it off and put it in a seal on his arm. He just ignored the blushing faces and made his way to his seat next to Hinata. She turned to look at him with a lustful daze in her eyes

"Must resist jumping and claiming him" thought Hinata

"You look g..great Naruto-kun" she said with a blush

"Thank you Hina-chan" Naruto replied with a smile

"What's with the new look Naruto" said Kiba with a whistle as he started walking up to him

"Yeah you actually look really good" said Ino with a small blush

"Well I'm an offical Shinobi now so I thought, might as well look like one right?" Naruto replied

Of course Sakura had to come ruin the moment

"STOP TRYING TO LOOK COOL LIKE SASUKE-KUN NARUTO-BAKA" yelled Sakura

Everyone just face palmed.

"What did I ever do to her?" He asked Kurumi

"Maybe being annoying is just in her blood" replied Kurumi

Iruka entered the room and began to speak

"Alright everyone quiet down and head to your seats, I'm about to announce your genin squads and your Jonin sensei" said Iruka before being cut off by Kiba

"Wait Iruka-sensei where is Mizuki-sensei?" he said before a few people nodded in agreement

Iruka glanced over to Naruto before he began speaking

"He..uhhh...well he was sick and couldn't make it"

Everyone just nodded before Iruka began to list off the teams.

(Going to skip Teams 1-6)

"Team 7 is Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuga with their sensei Kakashi Hatake." said Iruka

Naruto just smirked as he thought"It worked"

Hinata thought "I'm in a team with Naruto-kun, I couldn't have been more happier. At least he isn't with that.. bitch Sakura." she thought happily but with a venom laced voice when she thought about Sakura

"Hmm, Hinata is strong and smart, so she won't hold me back.. atleast I hope she doesn't. And Naruto.. Naruto isn't all that bad actually" but soon shook that thought off and he continued

"From what I saw yesterday he's strong.. But he hides it, I must get him to teach me how to do what he did yesterday" thought the Uchiha

"WHAT, WHY DOES HINATA-TEME GET TO BE WITH SASUKE-KUN. NOT FAIR I SHOULD BE WITH HIM" yelled Sakura

Suddenly the room dropped several degrees and everyone started sweating as they looked at the source.

It was Naruto glaring daggers at Sakura. If looks could kill Sakura would have been dead ten times over.

"What did you say about Hinata? I could tolerate insults towards me. But I will not tolerate when you insult one of my precious people. Understood?" said Naruto with venom coated on ever word he said

She just nodded nervously

"Good" he finished before the temperature returned back to normal before everyone looked at him with the same thought on their mind

Well that was scary.

Iruka regained his composure before he began speaking

"Well to answer your question the reason they're in a squad is because Sasuke got rookie of the year, Hinata got kunoichi and most promising student of the year while Naruto got dead last of the year. This team was assigned because the two top students will push the dead last to do better"

"Wait Iruka-sensei how did Naruto get deadlast of the year if he wiped the floor with Sasuke in the exam yesterday?"

Sasuke scowled and glared at him when he said that

"Well Naruto on every test we've taken since the academy started he's gotten just enough to pass, on the exams too he just barely passed the written test and shurikenjutsu test" replied Iruka

Everyone looked at the blonde confused, they could have sworn Naruto was smarter than that

But Shikamaru narrowed his eyes at him

"Bare minimum? He's always sleeping in class, and when he isn't he's usually talking to Hinata and not paying attention. Did he do it on purpose? Troublesome blondes" he thought with a sigh

"Alright continuing with the teams, Team 8 is Kiba Inuzuka, Sakura Haruno, and Shino Abarame with your sensei Kurenai Yuhi"

"Team 9 is still in rotation from last year, Team 10 is Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Chouji Akimichi with your sensei Asuma Sarutobi. Now please wait here for your sensei and good luck." finished Iruka as he left


3 Hours Later

"Where the hell is our sensei" Sasuke said angrily

"Hmm I'm not sure, maybe he got lost on the road of life" replied Naruto before they heard the door open and in walked a guy with grey gravity defying hair, a facemask covering half his face and standard Jonin attire

"Hi, are you guys Team 7?"

When they nodded so he continued

"Meet me on the room top" he said before vanishing in a poof of smoke

The squad just looked at each other and shrugged then Naruto spoke up

"Here guys grab onto me" Naruto said as he put out his hand towards the two so they can grab it

Sasuke looked at him then looked away and said no before walked out

He just looked at Hinata and shrugged his shoulders and grabbed her hand then left to the rooftop via Shuishin. When they arrived Hinata began to feel dizzy and started stumbling

"Don't worry Hina-chan, you'll eventually get used to that" said Naruto as he put my hand on her shoulder to support her

Kakashi who was leaning on the rail reading a small orange book noticed they arrived and looked at them and said "That's not a jutsu most genin should know how to use"

"Yeah but I'm not like most genin" Naruto replied with a foxy grin

"Yeah of course you're not, that's to be expected of Minato-sensei's kid" thought Kakashi

A few minutes passed and Sasuke arrived through the front door and saw Naruto and Hinata sitting on a step talking

"How are you guys already here?" asked Sasuke

"Well I told you to hold on to me but you didn't want to, so I just left with Shunshin with Hina-chan" replied Naruto before Kakashi started talking

"Alright since you're all here why don't you tell me about yourself, things like your name, your likes, dislikes, dreams and stuff like that, Bluey you go first" said Kakashi as he pointed at Hinata

"My name is Hinata Hyuga, my likes are Cinnamon rolls, My friends" she looked at Naruto and blushed before continuing "and training my clans taijutsu, my dislikes are people who insult my friends, perverts, and judgmental people, my dreams for the future are to become a Kunoichi my family would be proud of and eventually start a family of my own" she finished while her blush got deeper and she glanced at Naruto

"Now you emo" said Kakashi while pointing at Sasuke then he scowled

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, My likes? I don't like anything. My dislikes? I dislike a lot of things. My dreams? I have one dream. And that is to kill my brother and avenge my clan."

Everyone sweatdropped

"That's to be expected" though Kakashi grimly

"Now you blondie"

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, my likes? I like ramen. My dislikes? Hmmm I don't like it when people insult my friends. Dreams? Well I had a dream that I was eating a giant bowl of ramen last night" said Naruto then it was everyone's elses turn to sweat drop

"Very well, tomorrow meet me at training ground 7 at 7, so we can take the actual test"

"Wait what do you mean Kakashi-sensei I thought we already took the test" asked Hinata

"The academy test, yes, but not my test, ah.. and I reccomend not eating breakfast tomorrow.. that is if you don't want to taste it two times" Said Kakashi with an eye smile before leaving in a poof of smoke

"Well, I'll see you guys tomorrow, take care Hina" said Naruto

"Bye Naruto-kun" said Hinata then Naruto disappeared in a blur


(Next day at 7)

Naruto woke up and saw the time.

"Oh geez it's time... well he seemed like a laid back guy I don't think he would mind if I was 15 or so minutes late." I thought as I started changing

When I finished my ramen I left via Shunshin when I got there I saw Hinata leaning on a tree and Sasuke glaring at a grasshopper.

Hi Hina-chan, Teme" said the blonde

"You're late dobe" said Sasuke when he looked up from the grasshopper

"I had to eat something, I wasn't about to come on an empty stomach" said Naruto

"Kakashi-sensei said not to eat"

"No, he said "I reccomend you don't eat" he never said it was an order, and if I do end up 'tasting it twice' then oh well" said Naruto as he sat next to Hinata before he continued speaking

"Talking about Kakashi-sensei where is he?"

"I don't know" he said before starting to brood

"Hi Naruto-kun, what do you think the test is about?" spoke up Hinata

"No idea I'm as clueless as everyone here" replied Naruto

The two continued to speak while Sasuke glared at Hinata and Naruto at times.

3 hours later Kakashi arrived in a poof of smoke and saw Hinata and Naruto asleep on the tree bark and Sasuke was brooding.

"You're late." said Sasuke while gritting his teeth in anger

Naruto started to wake up and Hinata followed

"I'm sorry an old lady was crossing the street so I helped her and escorted her home just to he sure" replied Kakashi with an eye smile

They sweatdropped at his response

"Anyways Kakashi-sensei what is this test about?" asked Naruto

"See these two bells" he said while signaling to the part of his pants that had 2 bells attached to it.

"You have to get them before the timer goes off, you have 2 hours" he said as he pulled out a timer seemingly out of thin air as he set it on a stump

"The test starts when I say go"

"Go"

The three genin jumped away, Hinata followed Naruto and Sasuke jumped to another spot.

"Hey Naruto-kun what should we do"

"First lets look for Sasuke and regroup so we can come up with a plan" replied Naruto

"Okay"

They both jumped away to look for Sasuke and eventually they found him

"Hey Sasuke we need to come up with a plan" said Naruto appearing behind him

This surprised Sasuke and he gave put a very unmanly 'Eep'

Naruto and Hinata had to hold back a snort

Sasuke looked at them red faced, weather if from anger or embarrassment is unknown

"What do want dobe" he said trying to but failing to hide his anger

"I know what you're thinking and it's a bad idea, he's a Jonin, he'll wipe the floor with you, I don't care if you think you're an elite. We have to work together and come up with a plan to get the bells."

Sasuke looked a bit shocked since Naruto read him and his plan easily.

"Alright dobe, let's say your plan works and we get the bells. There's only two bells, one of us is going to fail" said Sasuke

Naruto had to resist the urge to facepalm

"Sasuke, tell me, when have you ever heard of a 2 man cell? This is designed to have us go against each other, this is a test of teamwork, but dont worry if we get the bells I'll give them to you guys."

Sasuke and Hinata nodded trusting him since he had a point

"Okay so here's the plan..." began the blonde

With Kakashi

"Hmm what's taking them so long" wondered Kakashi while reading his pervert book when he heard shuriken coming towards him so he instinctively jumped back

"You're going to have to do more than that if you plan to take these bells Naruto" said Kakashi as Naruto jumped off the tree he was on

"I know Kakashi"

"Iruka told me to not underestimate Naruto, that he's smarter than he lets on" he thought thinking back to when Teams were assigned


Flashback

Kakashi and all the Jonins were getting the information on his team when Iruka said something intresting

"Lord Hokage, I noticed something intresting when reviewing the tests throught the academy and the final exam he got the bare minimum passing score for the shurikenjutsu and written exam. But in the taijutsu test he beat Sasuke Uchiha with ease. I believe Naruto is hiding his abilities. He made a water dragon out without any water source near by when Sasuke launched a fireball at him, the only other person who's been able to do that is the Nidaime Hokage. Not only that but he only used one seal to cast it."

Everyone in the room looked shocked

"Alright thanks for that information Iruka, Kakashi, I want you to test the boy and see if what he said is correct"

"Hai"

Flashback End


Naruto pulled out a kunai out of his pack then put on his mask.

"What's the mask for?" asked Kakashi

"Not really sure, just for aesthetics honesty, but I might add some seals" replied Naruto

Kakashi's eyes widened for a second

"He knows Fuinjutsu?" but his thoughts were cut off when Naruto rushed him at shocking speeds with a kunai in hand

This alerted Kakashi and he put away his book and pulled out his kunai to block it. When the kunais crashed Kakashi was surprised at his strength

He jumped back and thought

"Iruka is right, I can't underestimate him, I was hoping I wouldn't have to use this"

Kakashi pulled up his headband revealing his Sharingan

Naruto smirked "So you're finally getting serious Sharingan no Kakashi"

Meanwhile Sasuke in a tree nearby saw this and nearly fall off

"What? How does he my have clan's kekkei genkai?" thought angrily

Naruto made a single handed ram sign

"Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu (Water Release: Water Dragon Jutsu)" thought the blonde

A water dragon materialized out of thin air and hovered

"Raiton: Jibashi (Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder)" thought Naruto as he sent a surge of lightning towards the water

The water started glowing blue and electricity was surging through the dragon

Kakashi's eyes widened at the combination

"Holy crap what the hell is that. I definitely can't get hit by that" he thought as the dragon shot at him quickly

Kakashi made a big jump back to avoid the small AOE damage it does. When landed when he heard a volley of shuriken and kunai coming at him from 3 directions forcing him to go the other way

"A trap, dammit" he thought as he heard a voice as his eyes widened in realization

"Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Four Palms"

"Shit I totally forgot about the other ones" he cursed in his mind but it was too late

"2 Palms"

"4 palms"

"8 palms"

"16 palms"

"32 palms"

Kakashi fell down due to having his tenketsu closed off

Naruto jumped to where they were and took the bells

"How did you do it?" he said still finding it quite hard to believe he got bested by Genins

Naruto spoke it "It was a quite simple strategy if I'm going to he honest. Basically after we left we regrouped and planned a stragity to take you on, since its unrealistic for a Genin to take on a Jonin one on one and get the bells, so I assumed we would have work together. So the plan was that while you were busy with me Sasuke set traps all throughout the area and we would push to towards Hinata's direction until you were in her range so she can close off your tenketsu. And once she did that we'll take the bells"

Kakashi still being unable to cope with the fact that he lost had a depressed aura around him saying something about students being to smart for their own good before he regained his composure.. kind of

"So what will you do now that you have the bells?"

Naruto just looked at the bells then at his teamates and gave one to Hinata and tossed the other to Sasuke

Kakashi looked at this scene with a smile

"Very well, you all pass with flying colors" he said with an eye smile.. well a pained half ey

"It seems you understood the test, yes the goal of the test is to see if you wouldn't get over that fact that there are only 2 bells and work together to get them. Caring about only yourself in a mission can prove to be fatal. Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worst then scum" said Kakashi before continuing

"Naruto I have a question, you showed tremendous skill, but you got dead last in the academy. Why were you hiding your skill?"

In response Naruto just smirked before he began speaking "Well a little birdie told me that there's a genin squad where there is the dead last, the most promising Kunoichi and rookie of the year. So when I started the academy I decided to become the dead last to get a strong team"

Kakashi looked at him in shock

"Minato-sensei, your child really is something else" thought the cyclops

Sasuke and Hinata looked at the blonde in a new light

"So Naruto-kun is actually really smart" thought Hinata with a small proud smile

"Hmph, so the dobe fooled everyone including me, not that I'll ever admit it" thought Sasuke before another thought reached his head

"Wait Kakashi-sensei how do you have the Sharingan if you're not an Uchiha?" asked Sasuke

"It was a dying gift from a friend" he said with a hint of sadness in his voice

Nobody decided to continue the topic so Hinata changed it

"Kakashi-sensei you should be able to stand up in about 2 hours, I tried to not hit you too hard" said Hinata

"It's okay Hinata, alright tomorrow we're meeting here at 9 to start missions" replied Kakashi

Everyone nodded and began to walk off before Naruto spoke up

"So you guys wanna go get ramen?"

"Sure Naruto-kun" replied Hinata with a blush

"Calm down Hinata, it's not a date.. not yet atleast.." the thought as her blush grew deeper thinking about a date with Naruto

Sasuke just looked away "Hmph I don't want to go but I'll go, only because that plan wasn't all too shabby and we passed thanks to your plan"

Naruto just chuckled

The trio walked off failing to hear Kakashi asking for help


At Ichiraku Ramen

As they arrived to the booth Naruto sat down

"Hey Teuchi-jiji, 8 bowls of miso ramen"

An elderly man came out alongside a girl with brown hair who didn't seem much older than them

"What would you guys be having?" he asked as he looked at his team

"Same as Naruto-kun but only one bowl" said Hinata

Ayame immediately got a wide grin and nudged Hinata and whispered

"So Naruto-kun is it" she said as her smile got wider

"I can't say it's a bad catch, especially with that new wardrobe change" she continued wiggling her eyebrows as Hinata got an atomic blush

"Alright Yame-chan stop teasing Hina-chan you're gonna make her faint from embarrassment" said the blonde before continuing

"What would you have Sasuke?"

"Two miso ramen for me" he replied

"Right on it" said the old man

Their food eventually came and stay started eating and talking, and to the team's surprise Sasuke was also talking and not brooding the whole time.


"Where the hell is Kakashi this meeting was supposed to start 30 minutes ago" said an impatient Hokage

"It's Kakashi what were you expecting" said Asuma with a chuckle

A door flew open showing a battered panting Kakashi

"What happened with you?" asked Asuma

Kakashi just said one word that caused everyone's eyebrows to raise

"Genin"

Nobody was able to commwnt on it then Hiruzen started talking

"Alright now that you're all here give me the results"

"Team 10 passed. The new generation Ino-Shika-Cho could use some work, especially Ino, she still has fangirl tendencies we need to work on." said Asuma

"Team 8 passed, They mostly did well but Sakura was the weaklink, she didn't do anything to help and the entire time she was complaining about not being in a squad with Sasuke, how did someone like her pass? She is a prime example of the reasons Kunoichi are often looked down upon" Kurenai said with a frown

"Team 7 passed Ir-" but was cut off

"Well that's a new one, Kakashi usually never passes a team"

"Yeah, I assume the Uchiha was the cause, although he doesn't seem like much" said Kurenai

Asuma just snorted in response "I'm pretty sure the Uchiha wasn't the cause, anyways Kakashi continue, I'm curious to see how Naruto-kun did"

Everyone else raised and eyebrow but weren't able to comment on it because Kakashi started speaking

"Well it seems that Iruka was correct that Naruto is hiding his strength. Immediately when the test started he gathered up the squad and figured out the point of the test. Naruto attacked me and made a water dragon out of thin air with a single seal like Iruka said he could, but the next part is the terrifying part, he added Lightning to it making it stronger. I of course had to dodge it but he kept on attacking me forcing me to move, I ran into some traps that forced me to move into a clearing where Hinata was waiting for me ready to close off my tenketsu with her Juken. It was all a plan formulated by Naruto, he would pressure me into moving I'm a specific direction, and to make sure I didn't stray away from the path he was making for me he made Sasuke set up traps, and once they had me where they wanted Hinata would finish it." said Kakashi

To say everyone was shocked was the understatement of the decade. Everyone except Asuma couldn't believe it.

"How? He's barely out of the academy, and graduated as dead last." asked Kurenai

"Yes, but that's not all, when I asked him why he was hiding his skill he told me because of how squads are formed, the rookie of the year most promising kunoichi of the year and the dead last made a squad. And when the academy started he made sure to get the bare minimum score to pass through the years in order to get dead last to ensure he got a good squad"

Everyone again was shocked

"That's really genius actually"said a random Jonin

It was Asuma's turn to talk "Yeah the kids knowledge is nothing to scoff at, even at 8 years old, he managed to learn how to apply wind chakra to a blade in just 2 days, and in 5 days he approved upon it. He also soaked up every wind jutsu I threw at him. The kid is a literal genius just like his father." he finished with a chuckle as he put a cigarette in his mouth

"Wait Asuma, you knew?" asked Kakashi

"Yeah, he came to me asking if I can show him wind jutsus cause he found out there aren't much in Konoha. I was shocked because he wasn't even in the academy and he knew his affinity and nature transformation, he doesn't know one, but two of his nature transformations, most academy students don't even know their affinity. That's nothing though, I think he's still hiding a great lot. Intresting kid I must say." said Asuma

"Yeah, he's a natural leader. He even got Sasuke to go eat ramen with him, if there's anyone that can get him out of that path of hatred and revenge I'm sure it's him." spoke Kakashi shocking everyone that the cold aloof emo went out to eat with his squad

"I also believe that Naruto can bring out the best in him, Sasuke would see him as a rival and it would push him to get better" said Kakashi as everyone nodded understanding what he was getting at

"Alright if that's it this meeting ended. Kakashi stay I need to talk to you." said the Hokage

Everyone left and eventually Hiruzen started speaking

"Kakashi I need you to keep a close eye on Naruto. Tell me, what level do you think he's at?"

"I think he's low to mid Jonin, being able to formulate a plan on the spot and holding his own against me. And we still haven't seen everything, I could tell he was holding back a great lot." replied Kakashi

"Okay thanks Kakashi try to figure out how strong he truly is"

"Hai Hokage-sama" replied Kakashi

"Alright you're dismissed" said Hiruzen

Hiruzen sighed while he looked up and thought

"What monster have you created Kushina, Minato" he thought with a chuckle


(3 Weeks Later)

In a bright sunny day in Konoha within the shadows a pair a piercing blue eyes could be seen in the dark moving from shadow to shadow

"Foxy at point A"

"Avenger at point B"

"Stutter at point C, N..Naruto-kun why did you give me this name I don't stutter that much anymore"

"Sorry Hina, it was either that or red face"

"Alright guys pay have a lock on our target at point B, Avenger engage in 3...2...1!"

Shrieks and crashes can be heard and out an alleyway Sasuke walked out with scratch marks on his face grumbling something about cats from hell

"I really hate this cat, we've caught it for the 15th time already. I would know cause I've been counting." said Sasuke

"I never said D-Ranks would be fun" replied Kakashi

"I'd much rather a boring C-Rank than this bullcrap. With C-Ranks you still have the possibility of running into bandits, better than catching this cat" grumbled Sasuke

"Yeah but on every C-Rank we've done we haven't ran into anything Sasuke" said Naruto before continuing "But I agree, I'd rather a boring uneventful C-Rank then this."

They arrived to the Hokage office and returned the demon cat to it's owner

"Jiji I'm tired of D-Ranks, give us another C-Rank" said Naruto while groaning

"Naruto stop giving the Hokage such a disrespectful name" scolded Iruka who was standing besides him

"It's okay, Iruka" said the Hokage waving it off

"Kakashi do you believe they're ready for this mission?" asked Hiruzen

"Hai Hokage-sama, they're definitely ready"

In the three weeks Kakashi taught them the Tree Climbing and Water Walking chakra control exercises but only to find out that Naruto had not only known them but mastered them. After they all learnt it he found out their affinities, and Kakashi was shocked to find out Naruto had all 5


(Flashback)

"Alright see this that I'm holding" said Kakashi as he gestured towards 3 slips of paper he had on his other hand which Naruto recognized as Chakra Paper

'Crap, Kurumi, I have a feeling were going to have to eventually tell Jiji and Kakashi about and you and the Rinne Sharingan'

'Are you sure Naru-kun?'

'Yeah, Kakashi is about to find out about me having all 5 affinities, and maybe I could help train Sasuke with his Sharingan'

'Hmm, why are you so intent with training Sasuke though, don't tell me you're just doing this cause of 'that'' she finished with a chuckle

'No of course not' replied Naruto with a chucke of his own

"What are the papers for?" asked Sasuke

"These are Chakra Papers, when you pour chakra into them they'll do one of 5 things, it'll either wrinkle, get soggy, ignite into ash, split in half, or turn into dirt and crumble. If it wrinkles you have a Raiton (Lightning Release) affinity, if it gets soggy you have a Suiton (Water Release) affinity, if it splits into half you have a Futon (Wind Release) affinity, if it ignites and turns into ash you have a Katon (Fire Release) affinity and if it turns into dirt and crumbles you have a Doton (Earth Release) affinity"

He handed them out

"Sasuke you go first" said Kakashi

His paper wrinkled and ignited and turned ash

"Very well, I have I have lightning affinity too and I know some Fire techniques and I'm sure your clan vaults have some jutsu too" said Kakashi

Naruto's eyebrow quirked up this but no one noticed

"You next Hinata"

Her paper split in half and got soggy

"Very well, since Naruto has a water affinity then he could also help you with your training" she blushed imagining some training

"Now your turn Naruto"

His paper formed an X shaped lines from the corners and split into 4 pieces one piece ignited and turned into ash, the ash started to dissolve into nothing. The second piece got soggy and continued getting soggy until it eventually it dissolved. The third piece turned into dirt and began crumbling into nothingness. The fourth piece wrinkled inwards until it was a tiny ball, then the tiny ball kept on getting smaller until it blinked out of existence.

Kakashi and the rest just started gaping and started at where the paper used to be with eyes as wide as saucers before Kakashi spoke up

"What the fuck"

Flashback End


He shook his head to dispell the flashback when he started to hear the Hokage speak

"Well you're team is in luck, a new mission to escort a builder to the Wave just arrived"

The Hokage signaled for an ANBU to appear and in a blur it appeared

"Bring him in" said the Hokage


AN: I know I'm evil for leaving this off in a cliffhanger. Next arc is gonna be the Wave Arc where he meets a certain ice princess. Anyways I've been hinting at a twist for Sasuke.. curious if anyone has picked up on it. I've been asked to add a couple on new girls but I need to think how they're going to tie into the story I have planned out without having it stray too far from what I had planned. A couple of reccomendations I'm planning on adding but need work are Kurenai, Hana and Ino but I need to figure out how to make them loyal to Naruto and his cause without having it be too BS since he's gonna eventually leave Konoha. 3 girls I'm certain are going to join are Kin, Tayuya, and Anko since I already know how they're going to tie into the story and have come up with a plan for them. If you want a reminder of who is in the harem rn for clarity then check the end of chapter 2. Like usual give me your thoughts and creative criticism.
