Obito was able to fight Minato after a few years of training, yeah with enhancement but still... I wonder how strong Naruo can get after two and a half years of serious training,...

I love and missed this story... why did I stop?


Naruto knows fire jutsu, Naruto knows anatomy nad medical stuff at basics and Naruto will retrieve the corpses. Uses Staves for combat.

Tsunade had more than a few reasons for booting Naruto out of the village for a mission beyond testing him for Chunin material. The first was to mock Kakashi, who was in the village for a minute, some more... which she did with great pleasure. Next, she sent a member of ANBU ( Naruto's future trainer in fact) to watch over Naruto to see how he did on the mission since it was really designed to test Naruto's leadership powers and combat skills beyond spars. Lastly, she the Academy Teachers, Iruka included. They had a day off of teaching for a set of meetings, this being one of them.

Tsunade's chakra filled the room with the men and women before her, hateful and wrathful as she could make it. Inoichi, who had joined her, was doing the same, he had a great deal of reason to hate them what with what he saw in Naruto's mind during their sessions.

"So... tell me, does any of you have any guesses why you are here?" She asked and Iruka stepped forward.

"No, my Lady... only that it is of utmost importance."

She nodded. " Oh it is... can any of you, who were present when Naruto Uzumaki was in the academy, how none of you noticed his near prodigy level talent?" She enjoyed their shock. "Naruto learned the Rasengan in a month, the Shadow and multi shadow clone in a few hours... over a month period, he gained enough skill to rival most genin and learned enough of the academy knowledge to retake the test and pass with a decent grade. Over four months he managed to reach Mid to High Chunin level, with excellent Taijutsu, a rare knock for replacement and shushin, fire jutsu and using staves all to a high level all while increasing his knowledge to a degree that some academy teachers are likely beneath him... how did this go undetected for so long?

I know the reason, at least in part... none of you knew that he was talented because you judged him for being the vessel of the Fox. You hated him pointlessly for something he could not control... and you refused to help him, to give him the proper help he needed. None of you noticed the issues he had with reading or writing, or the fact that his taijutsu needed remedial work... I would punish you, but I cannot afford to lose any teachers at this time... and so you will be going through classes, remedial classes led my a clone of mine, on proper teaching. It is not going to be easy, but it will last the next month."

Every one of them was gaping at her, stunned. Iruka stepped forward again. "My lady, I helped Naruto-"

"You bought him Ramen a few times, you mostly spend your time yelling at your students. I have seen Naruto and Sakura's memories." She created a clone. "Now, step back and follow my clone to where your lesson will begin. Oh, and if you complain, even once, you will be beaten into oblivion!"

"Hinata, you look different." Naruto frowned at Hinata, her clothes were all different. She was dressed in a typical chunin garb bar the vest, she had an extra pouch on and her arms were wrapped in bandages. However it was her chakra that was the most different, it was stronger, more physically alinged. She had a lot more of it too, at least thirty percent more.

She nodded, smiling. "I... When you called me out for my stalking, I ... I renewed myself, I wanted to better myself, to make myself more worthy for my goal."

For some reason, that clicked something in Naruto's mind and a dark smile crossed Naruto's face. "Hinata, why do you want to be better?"

She looked at him straight in the face. "I want to be worthy of your love."

Naruto was disgusted, they didn't even know each other... but he knew he could take advantage of that. Tsunade would want him too, Hinata had a lot of potentials he knew from her fight with Neji. He remembered that she fought at near Chunin level, with grace and poise and strength. Tsunade had told him about the diminishing potential of Kunoichi, how many were expected to be housewives or broodmares. How many never got past Chunin despite their talent... he found that idea gross, girls were as powerful as guys, in different ways but that didn't mean they couldn't be great... and to be honest, Naruto wanted more powerful allies. He wanted what happened with Sasuke and with Sound and Sand to never happen again. If he could make Hinata strong enough to be of real service before and when he became Hokage, then why not? Plus he needed allies to become Hokage... so...

"Hinata, have you thought about joining ANBU? They would help round you out, help with your shyness and stuttering, and give you experience and skills you lack right now?"

Ino turned to them, having only been listening. "That... that would be different. Do you think Hinata could join ANBU, does she have the right mindset?"

"They can train that mindset, otherwise they would never get enough members to begin with."

Hinata frowned for a long moment, they walked a good few hundred feet before she nodded. "I... yes. I think I can do it."

"Good, I will talk to Lady Tsunade." Naruto beamed at her. "We need more powerful Kunoichi and I think you can be great Hinata."

The girl flushed and turned away, happy and nervous all at once. "Thank you, Naruto..." She whispered out.

"But Hinata, don't make yourself worthy for me... make yourself worthy for yourself. Inoichi, my therapist, is always telling me how unhealthy it is to serve others entirely. You need to care for yourself too..."

Hinata, to his pleasure, seemed to drink that in as they moved towards Wave, her chakra fluctuating and swirling as her soul and heart changed just a little bit, moved and motivated by the realities she was being faced with...


Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was fun to write.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,
