Hello everyone Kiritoknight here and um…..( knock on the door) um who's there?(opens) Naruto what are you doing here?
Naruto: "Hey dumbass no time for this, people waited long enough. So get on with it"
Kiritoknight: "But I was about to explain….."
Naruto: "Blah, blah no one cares. Now get on with the story of my awesomeness.
( Now Kiritoknight don't own me or any of the characters)
( Tower in the forest of death)
It was peaceful morning in Konoha... if you could ignore the screams of terror. The sun beginning to rise on the village, the light stretching over the land hitting the tower in the forest of death. The sun going in through all the windows waking those lucky enough to be sleeping in a bed, but near top we find that the sun began to stir a certain blond.
"Ayame? close the blinds would ya, Hinata... help? Naruto began to stir his vision beginning to focus as he notices he was not in his room. "Where the hell am I?" he said as a flashback of everything that had happen to him came back.
"It seems that you are finally awake Naruto, your timing is impeccable as always". Naruto turned to see Shino sitting near a desk in the corner of the room.
"Good morning Shino, what's going on? where are we in the challenge? Where is Hinata? Shino just looked at his friend, Naruto was asking faster than he could answer.
"You were brought here after your talk with the Hokage, you have been out ever since, and it is the final day off the challenge. Hinata went down to the commissary to get us some food, she always brings extra for you in case you would wake up".
"That's my girl, how is everyone else?" he asked as he got out of bed, getting his gear on that was folded neatly next to his bed.
"From what I have heard only the cloud and sand arrived after us, being the last day I doubt any other teams will make it".
Naruto nodded at Shino, while tying his chains around his sides. Giving himself a once over he looked back up to see Hinata walking in with a tray of food.
"Naruto your finally awake". she said with a warm smile, placing the food down then walking over to him giving him a hug and kiss. They all sat down next to the small coffee table in the room, while they ate Hinata told Naruto about Sasuke and Lee. When they were done eating Hinata told Naruto they would have to go to the arena soon, Naruto nodded and began to meditate.
Mindscape
Naruto emerged in the sewers, looking around he made his way to where the cage once was. Looking into the darkness he began to wonder what kind of a mood the fox would be in; in his earlier days he would be unconscious for a while and every time well...
"Hey furball! You still here? Or do I need to look for a new roommate!" Naruto smirked as he jumped back dodging one of the tails.
"It's about time you wake up, your still too weak. Once you are able to access my full power then someone as weak as the snake bastard would fall without a problem".
"Sounds great, but like I told you I want to balance out my training not just power".
"You need to focus more on yourself, your falling behind. While I don't care who you train, if you want to accomplish your goal you need more".
Naruto let out a small sigh, he trained till he collapses several times. Over and over again he would push himself beyond the limit, but lately he was focusing more on seals and techniques While there is nothing wrong with that, he knew that he is going to need the power and speed to back them up. The reality of the fight between him and Orochimaru really opened his eyes to that, the next time they meet he will skin the snake.
"Anyway, did you notice that Orochimaru and Kabuto smelled very similar?"
"Yes, they both reeked of snakes do you think they are working together?"
"It's possible he did strike me as a liar when we first met at the entrance exam. But still this is just a hunch at best when this is over, I'll talk to the Hokage.
With Naruto exited his mindscape and talked to Hinata and Shino about his theory
Back in the tower
Having gotten themselves ready Naruto and his team made their way to the arena, running into the sand team along the way. A small stare of between the two jinchuriki made the sand siblings nervous, Naruto just smirked and went in ahead. Entering the arena, he looked around (we all know what it looks like) seeing that it really was just the sand, the rookie nine and cloud team. Kabuto was also there, looking like he got the crap kicked out of him.
"(It seems that he was the only one from his team to make it)". Thought Naruto staring at him down. They were all talking amongst themselves, when the Hokage appeared before them.
"Welcome all and congratulations on making it this far, although I am afraid that the second test is not over".
"What do you mean?" asked Kiba
but before the Hokage could answer a leaf shinobi appeared, he had a quick word with the Hokage before turning to address them.
"Good morning to you all I am Hayate and before we continue, we will have to have one more exam".
"What kind of exam?" asked Sasuke
"We will have a preliminary consisting of one on one fights, the winners will be the ones to pass to the finals. Now then before we proceed would anyone like to forfeit?"
Kabuto almost instantly rose his hand up to which Hayate just nodded. Naruto just kept looking at Kabuto as he made his way out of the arena.
"(Definitely need to keep an eye on that one)".
"To add what Hayate said, we also have a special guest with us here". said the Hokage before being surrounded by smoke.
"What are you guys doing here!" yelled Kiba
Naruto just rolled his eyes at this, before them stood the leaf clans heads. It did not take much for them to realize, that they were there due to all the future clan heads where competing. Knowing that there were only eight spots, stood reason that the Hokage let them to see how they were doing. The leaf maybe proud but not so much that they believe that all would pass to the finals. No looking around Naruto had a pretty good idea how this will go, and he was getting excited.
"Very well now then will all of you please make your way up to the balcony and when you see your name come up please make your way down". Said Hayate
Balcony
When Naruto and his team made their way up to the balcony, they found that their sensei where waiting for them.
"Yamato-sensei Kakashi-sensei what are yawl doing here?" asked Hinata
"Well just like the clan heads we are also allowed to come and see yawl". Said Yamato
"By the way how are you feeling Naruto". Asked Kakashi he had heard what had happen in the forest and was angrier as hell that Orochimaru was back.
"I'm fine just needed the rest in reality you should be worried about who's going up against be (smacks his fist into his palm) because I am ready to fight!"
"Thank you all for waiting now then in a moment the screen behind me will draw two names at random. When you hear your name come down to the arena and we will begin, know this your objective is to incapacitate your opponent. Should I deem it necessary I will stop the match". Hayate finish as he got a nod from all them
The names stopped as a small smirk appeared on the face of Sasuke seeing that he is first to go.
"Very well will Sasuke Uchiha and Omoi make your down here". said Hayate
"Alright it's time for a fight get down there and show them your might!" said Killer Bee while striking a pose.
"I am facing the last Uchiha, what if I can't get past his Sharingan? What if I accidently kill him? What if this starts another great war thus causing Lord Raikage too...
"Will you just shut up and fight! yelled Yugito from behind while giving him a kick in the ass causing him to fall to the arena. On the other side Sasuke just watch their antics
"It looks like I'm facing the Kumo ninja" said Sasuke
"Yup good luck with that by the way how is the seal holding up? Asked Naruto
"It's been fine if anything I should be asking you that you've been put for four days".
"That is true and that being said I need you to hurry and take care of this quickly so that my turn can come up". Naruto and Sasuke just smirked while fist bumping
Arena
"Very well the first preliminary round will begin, Hajime!" yelled Hayate before jumping back.
They just stood there at first sizing each other up as Omoi reached for his sword, Sasuke seeing this reached for one of his kunai. They quickly dashed at each other as the sparks began to fly. Omoi was surprise while he was nowhere near the level of a master in the kenjutsu, he was being parried strike for strike and Sasuke was not even using his Sharingan. Getting nowhere this way Omoi separated from Sasuke as they looked eyes.
"Impressive I would expect nothing less from a Uchiha".
"HN". was all he got in response as Sasuke shot a quick glance at the balcony.
Balcony
While the battle continued all the genin where in awe at the display of skill being shown.
"Go Sasuke!" yelled Ino causing some to cover their ears and Akamaru to whine
"What a drag Sasuke keeps getting better and with our parents here they're just going to compare us". said Shikamaru
"It looks like Naruto's training really paid off". said Shino
"Yes, he seems to be able to keep up with Omoi without much trouble". said Hinata
"That because Omoi hasn't gotten serious yet". they turned to see Yugito walking up to Naruto and the others.
"Oh yeah? Is he really that good?" asked Naruto
" Yup just watch, he will surprise you?" said Yugito with a smile
"Then I guess this should prove interesting, who can train someone better Bee or me". he said with a smirk on his face, his Sharingan flaring to life under his Genjutsu no harm in learning something new after all.
Arena
Sasuke nailed a right cross to Omoi's face before following trough and tried to deliver a round house kick but Omoi got his hands up absorbing the blow but falling back.
"Fire style: Phoenix flower jutsu!
Omoi continued to dodge the multiple fire balls as he tried too put some distance between him and Sasuke. Seeing he couldn't get close he began to go through his one hand sings.
"Lightning style: lightning ball jutsu!"
Multiple balls of lightning began to surround Omoi before beginning to shoot forward, the fire and lightning began to collide. To Sasuke surprise the lightning began to cut through his fire causing him to go on the defensive, dodging the attacks the jutsu collided with the walls. Smoke dust began to fill the arena using this Sasuke maneuvered himself closer to Omoi who dropped his attack not wanting to get slashed. Omoi managed to bring up his sword to defend as they began to go at it again in the thick dust but to Omoi's surprise he began to receive slash wounds over his arms. The dust began to clear a small bead of sweat began to fall Omoi's face as he was staring at blood red eyes.
Balcony
"Sharingan!" yelled Ino
"Troublesome" said Shikamaru wondering what else was Sasuke going to show off.
"The Sharingan of the Uchiha the blood eyes and the tomes in each one of them, but I thought there were supposed to be three?" said Yugito feeling worried about her teammate as she saw him begin to struggle.
"It's three tomes when it's fully matured what you're looking at right now is the halfway point, well you could call it that since he has two in each eye". Said Naruto not taking his eyes of the fight
"You seem to know a lot about it". Said Yugito causing those who knew to look at Naruto
"No more then what's common knowledge". Was his response
Arena
Omoi looked worse for wear as he kept his sword in a defensive stance. His body covered in wounds he stared on at Sasuke who just kept staring at him taking him all in.
"You're not bad I'll give you that but it's time I end this, Release!" said Sasuke
Sasuke felt his body burst with energy as he ready himself Omoi began to brace himself for whatever came next. He quickly pulled two shuriken out of his pouch sending them flying in different directions, seeing this Omoi slashed forward the sound of steel wired being sliced was heard. But before he could readjust Sasuke appeared beneath him striking him with a leg kick power full enough to send him flying. Omoi was dazed in midair managing to see Sasuke reaper behind him.
"Lion's Barrage!" said Sasuke as he delivered a combo ending with him driving Omoi into the ground with a heel kick to the chest.
"The winner of the match Sasuke Uchiha" said Hayate as he called for a medic team to look over Omoi
Balcony
Yay Sasuke!yelled Ino causing everyone to cover their ears.
"Looks like in this case I beat Bee". Said Naruto with a grin as Sasuke walked up to them.
"Way to go Sasuke, that was a great match." Said Sakura who got a nod in response.
"It seems that the Uchiha lives up to the name, poor Omoi oh well sensei Bee will just have to train him harder". Said Yugito while looking down at her teammate that was being stretcher out.
"He put up a good fight, but he was no match for me". said Sasuke with a grin while Hinata was looking him over for injuries.
"If that was the case the fight should have been over quickly, but sure as hell your sweat ass time didn't you emo boy". Said Naruto with a smirk
They all continued to talk amongst themselves as the arena was being cleaned up. Naruto looked around wondering who he would be up against again, seeing that last fight got him fired up well that and picking up something new. His thoughts were out on hold however as another came to mind. When? When do I tell Sasuke sooner or later he will find out. With his new Sharingan his Genjutsu was at risk as well, it is not so much that it bothers him he could care either way. But Sasuke was now a comrade and friend. While this went on the names on the screen appeared and when they stopped, they all looked up.
"Will Shikamaru and Choji please make their way down here for the second match". Said Hayate
With the clan heads
"Would you look at that Shikaku it looks like our boys will fight next". Said Choza
'It would seem so". was all he said
"Tough break for you guys". Said Tsume will everyone else could only nod in agreement they all knew how close the boys were.
Balcony
Ino looked at her team mates worriedly while Asuma just let out a sigh at the bad luck.
"I guess we have to fight each other huh Shikamaru".
"Yeah what a drag and if that wasn't enough our parents are also here" said Shikamaru thinking to himself how happy he was that his mom was not there she was a scary lady.
"Alright you two get down there and give it all you got". Said Asuma as they all made their way down to the arena, as they walked away Hinata turned to Naruto
"So, who do you think will win?"
"Well physically speaking Choji has the advantage, but Shikamaru is way more strategical. Every time that you think your ahead you're just playing into his plan. Add to all that they know each other so well it's kind of a tossup". Said the blonde whole the two in question finally got to the arena
Arena
"Alright the second battle of the preliminaries is about to begin both fighters ready (they nod) Hajime!".
"Human Expansion Jutsu/ Human Bolder!"
Choji charged forward at Shikamaru at high speeds causing him to dodge as Choji slammed into the wall. But Choji did not drop his Jutsu as he continue to charge and bounce of the walls chasing Shikamaru.
"(I really go to end this quick)" said Shikamaru not wanting this match to drag on
With the clan heads
"(It seems that Shikamaru needs more taijutsu training)" though Shikaku as he saw Choji just go straight at his son who could not use his jutsu
"Never seen Choji try this hard before" said Inoichi
"It's because he knows what this means to his father and he wants to make him proud". Said Shikaku
"True but the same could be said for your son Shikaku, although he is not enthusiastic, he is out there meeting Choji head on". Said Choza getting a nod from everyone else
Arena
Choji and Shikamaru had been going at it both of them using kunai in hand to hand close quarters combat. Shikamaru quickly went for a leg sweep causing Choji to jump backwards, getting thrown of when he saw Shikamaru smirk.
"KAI!" said Shikamaru
Which caused a bright flash to come from behind Choji making his shadow to expand towards Shikamaru who dropped down.
"Shadow Possession Jutsu! Sorry Choji but this is the end".
"But how? When did you?"
"Well why you were still in your bolder for I began to plant those flash bombs around. After that it was only a matter of getting you in the right spot".
Choji tried to struggle for a bit but it was no use
"Well at least one of will go on and I know you'll become a chunin. I forfeit".
Balcony
"Way to go you two! Yelled Ino as her teammates came up
"I'm proud of the both of you". Said Asuma
"Yeah it was a real drag having to fight Choji but it's over".
He said while sitting down against the wall waiting for the next fight. Choji on the other hand just looked down to his father, who just gave a small nod to cheer up the boy Choza could not be prouder.
"It seems that your prediction about the fight was correct". Said Shino who turned to Naruto
"Yeah like I said he always has a plan". Said the blonde
"(I wonder who will be facing)". Said the blonde while looking around to the other genin
"(Does it really matter?")
("Dam right it does I want to see how strong the other villagers genin are firsthand. Besides if I fight anyone from our village, I know how it will end"). Naruto was brought out of thoughts when he looked at the screen a smirk came on to his and Sasuke's face.
"Yahoo! Alright Sakura let your youth explode!" said Lee the board reading Sakura vs Ino
"Alright Ino your up looks like I'm going to have two students in the finals". Said Asuma as Ino nodded and made her way down.
"(So, it's a battle with Ino? I wonder… just how far have you come?) Hey Sakura, don't you think you should take the weights off?" asked Kakashi. But before she could answer
"NO! Sakura you leave those on". Kakashi and Kiba turned to see that Naruto standing there his arms crossed and dead serious look on his face
"Who the hell do you think you are? Sakura needs to take the weights off so she could fight". Yelled Kiba
"Sakura go on ahead you'll be fine".
Sakura just looked at Naruto and began to make her way down to the arena. While she did that Naruto walked over to Kiba and Akamaru
"Listen Kiba I'm done with you, begin to pray because If me and you get match up, I will show you your place".
Asuma having overheard Naruto's word to Sakura walked over to Kakashi
"Hey Kakashi, why did Sakura listen to Naruto?"
"Oh, it's simple really Naruto has been training her for the past month. In fact, every day for the past month Naruto has personally trained her, Sasuke, Shino, and Hinata".
A small bead of sweat came down Asuma he was begging to wish he had trained his genin team more. But Ino could handle Sakura, right? I mean it was just one month, how much difference could a that really make?
With the clan Heads
"Did you hear that brat! Who the hell does he think he is talking to my Kiba that way" Yelled Tsume
"Calm down Tsume he just the dead last student who lucked out and got rookie of the year. He clearly is just a brat".
Said Inoichi pissed of that Naruto hinted Sakura could beat his daughter. (conveniently forgetting what he saw Naruto do in the past) The other clan heads just remained quiet as the Hokage himself began to wonder how this would turn out.
"(I wonder how good of a trainer he really is?)"
Arena
"The second match will now begin Hajime!
They both just stood there looking at each other Ino with a big smirk on her face as she fell back on her basic taijutsu stance. Sakura on the other was just standing there emotionless a blank stare on her face as she began to reach for her head band tying it to her forehead. Seeing this Ino began to get angry.
"What's the matter with you? What is with that face? Answer me billboard brow!"
"Ino I won't play games with you anymore and I won't fight you over Sasuke either".
"What? Are you giving up on him?"
"No, I still want to be with them, but I refuse to be a fan girl I have self-respect now. So, get ready Ino because this will not be like the last time. I will show you what happens when you really train.
Ino took a breath to calm herself down getting her head band from her waist and tying on her head. Ino dash at Sakura cocking her fist back she swung a right haymaker as her fist neared Sakura face she was surprise when Sakura began to spin with the fist bringing her fist up as she turned she delivered a spinning back fist catching Ino on the side of her head. Ino began to turn from the force of the hit (and the weight from her wrist weights) trying to get her bearings she felt her waist get wrapped around.
"Cha!" yelled Sakura
While she picked up Ino from her waist leaning backwards she drove the Ino into the ground. But she did not let go of the waist as soon as she had made contact with the ground Sakura rolled through and once again pick her up this time releasing Ino in midair causing Ino to fly a bit crashing into the floor and rolling a bit away. Sakura just stood there the look on her face never changing.
"Pick yourself up Ino I know you're not beat yet ". She said coldly
Ino began to pick herself up as she nurses the back of her head a pissed of look on her face after being ragged dolled. She was trying to burn a whole to Sakura with her eyes.
"Shut up Sakura you're just trying to look cool in front of Sasuke". Said Ino as Sakura just shook her head
"I'll guess I'll just have to smack some sense into you!" said Sakura as they charged at each other again.
With the clan heads
Inoichi was trying his best to not to show his emotions but seeing his daughter continually slammed into the ground was not enjoyable to say the least. The Hokage was surprise the girl had not been training with Naruto but the results so far where impressive.
"It seems that Naruto's training is going well" said Shibi
"Yes, at this rate I may have Shikamaru train with him as well" said Shikaku
"What why bother with him Kakashi probably put some extra time in". said Tsume not wanting to give Naruto any credit especially after that comment Naruto had made earlier to Kiba
"She's right this isn't over yet Shikaku". Said Inoichi trying to defend his daughter
"It's fine Inoichi but by the time this is over you will understand the effect Naruto seems to have on others". Said Shikaku
Balcony
"What a drag Ino doesn't have a chance at this rate". Said Shikamaru feeling bad for his teammate
"Hey, it's not over yet". Said Choji
"What's going on here? Sakura and Ino where always evenly matched. Hey Kakashi, what did you do?" asked Asuma
"Well we trained everyday but if I'm being honest, I'm surprised myself. If you really want to know where this came from then ask Naruto".
"It's kind of a simple answer isn't it? I train her and taught her a way to fight that suited her best".
"You mean all the slams".
"Yes, you see I knew I couldn't get her strong enough to straight up fist fight anyone just yet. So we focus on throwing and grappling techniques, Ideally you would want someone tall and heavier as the thrower but hey she can make it work".
"But still Ino is no push over and you only had a month". Said Asuma
The blonde just stared at Asuma beginning to way his options on how to respond so this. On the one hand Asuma never pissed him off on the other he really has a problem with all this jonin and their sorry ass excuses for training.
"Well then I guess that's not a question about my training but of yours". Said the blonde
"What was that?" Naruto hearing his tone walked over and got in Asuma's face
"Simple your sorry ass excuse for training is being put on display out there" said Naruto with his cold blue eyes
The rest of the genin where shocked at Naruto's comments while those who knew him were not really that surprise. While the clan heads on the other hand just looked at each other having overheard. Not wanting this to go further however Yamato stepped in and put his hand on the blonde's shoulder, which Naruto just responded with walking away.
Arena
Ino was panting heavily as she picked herself back up, at first it seemed that they were even but slowly Sakura was just kicking her ass. Sakura on just stood their small scratches here and there but nothing serious.
"It's over Ino just give up".
"What! I didn't think your head could get any bigger who do you think you are".
"Ino I'm not the same girl I was before, and I will never be that person again. I won't be a fan girl or a burden to anyone again".
Ino let her anger get to her as she charged her friend, she swung a few times missing before Sakura stepped in and delivered a hard-right hand to Ino's stomach. Driving her fist deep as she put all her wait into it, knocking the wind out of Ion who fell to her knees. She began to fall forward when she was caught by her hair her head being pulled back as she was faces to face with Sakura. A loud smack was heard when Sakura slapped the hell out of her. Ino's check turned red and began to swell as a small tear began to form in her eyes. Sakura continued to slap her a few more times causing Ino to puff up like a blow fish.
"I told you this is over".
Ino was out of it being slapped so many times but she could hear the cold tone in her friend's voice. She tried to struggle when she felt Sakura's arm slip under her neck and her head being pushed forward. She began to gasp for air and tried to move but Sakura seemed to be getting a tighter grip. After a few more seconds Ino stopped struggling as she began to go limp. Not feeling the struggle anymore Sakura just drop her letting her fall face first as she turned to see Hayate.
"Winner of the match Sakura!"
Balcony
"Way to go Sakura! Yelled Lee
"Wow poor Ino" said Choji
"Yeah that was pretty brutal" said Shikamaru
While his sensei ran down to look over Ino, Sakura made her way up to her team Kiba quickly congratulating her and Kakashi just nodded while Sasuke just smiled at her causing her to blush a bit. But for some strange reason it was Naruto's reaction she was really waiting for when the blonde finally turned to her, she felt her heart race a bit.
"Not bad sweetheart keep this up and you just might get what you're after". Said the blonde while shooting a quick look at Sasuke
"Oh well it's all thanks to you I won't stop till I get better".
"That a girl" was his response. But when Naruto turned around, he what he did not see was the sad look on her face.
With the clan heads
"Dam tough break Inoichi". Said Choza patting his friend on the back
"It seems that Naruto's training is really good Sakura made that look easy". Said Shikaku
"What did you say!" said Inoichi getting in his friend's face
"Like I said Naruto's training is really effective up till a month ago those two where evenly matched. But just one month in training and the difference is clear she beat Ino without much trouble. She did not have to take her weights off in other words those who were trained by Naruto are the most likely to advance".
Inoichi did not answer as he and the rest of the clan heads began to ponder on the words said by Shikaku. The Hokage on the other hand could not help but to smile Naruto was becoming a great leader. He also knew that his grandson was being taught by Naruto which also made him happy Naruto really had a way of bringing out the best in people. After a few more moments the screen read (Kauri vs Temari)
Balcony
"Looks like I'm up this should be easy". Said Temari with a smirk on her face
"Yeah your up against that Kumo girl just make sure that you don't lose". Said Kakuro who Temari just waved him off
Naruto just looked at the two kunoichi enter the arena staring at the cloud kunoichi for a second, he notices the long katana strapped to her back. "(So, she is also a kenjutsu fighter, I wonder what she can do)". He thought to himself as he activated his Sharingan again making sure Sasuke could not see his face.
Arena
"The fourth match of the preliminaries is about to begin bot fighters ready (they nod) Hajime!"
Kauri drew her sword and took her stance seeing this Temari reached back to put her hand on her fan. Kauri dashed forward and went for a vertical strike only to get paired.
"Your too slow".
Said Temari with a smirk on her face as she used her strength to push off Kauri before taking a swing of her own making Kauri jump away. The moment she made contact with the ground Kauri shot forward again as Temari just stood the smirk on her face starting to piss her off. But she was caught off guard as a powerful gust of wind threw her back. She managed to catch herself as she stood back up straight staring at the blonde whose fan was now slightly open revealing a purple moon.
"You can't win, you're going to lose by the time that this fan open".
Balcony
Naruto raised a eyebrow at Temari's fan, he looked closely as she was able to channel wind chakra reminded him of his chains. He notices that Kauri was good with a sword but Temari was going to be able to keep at bay. While the fight continued, he did not notice that Lee was walking over to him.
"Ah Naruto it's good to see you thank you once again for all of your help".
"No problem Lee how are you feeling?"
"I feel excellent, this seal has not bothered me at all".
Before they could continue talking, they were brought out of it by a loud scream of pain. They both turned to see Temari standing there smiling while holding Kauri on top of her fan.
Arena
"Well it looks like I win". Said Temari as she tossed of Kauri from her fan.
"The winner of the match Temari". Said Hayate while signaling for a medic to take Kauri
Balcony
"(Dam that girl can be brutal. I really feel sorry for her husband)". Thought Naruto (Shikamaru sneezes)
The screen went through the names again this time falling on Tenten vs Kankuro. The young kunoichi light up as she smiled at her teammates before jumping down.
"Well it looks like where about to have back to back wins, I just wish I would be facing someone stronger". Said Kakuro as he also jumped down
Arena
"The next match of the preliminaries is about to begin, Hajime!"
Tenten began to get ready measuring the distance between them, Kakuro in the meantime took of what he had strapped to his back and placed it in front of him. Tenten started by pulling out some kunai throwing them with great accuracy. Kankuro saw this coming and did not move, but a second later and all the kunai where on the floor.
"What?' asked Tenten she never misses
"So, are you going to start or what?" asked Kankuro in a smartass tone
Tenten gritted her teeth as she began to run around Kakuro who just stood there like he did not have a care in the world. She launches kunai and shuriken from different angels, but no matter what side she chooses to aim for it was all the same. The weapons began to just pile up all around Kankuro.
"How are you doing this?"
"Like this".
Said Kankuro as the thing that was on his back shot forward at Tenten. The thing began to unravel as it got near her, revealing to be a large puppet with three eyes she jumped away trying to avoid it. Tenten shot kunai at it but it surprisingly out maneuvered them, the puppet wrapped her up in its arms.
"Well this is over, tell you what forfeit now, I won't kill you".
Tenten could not move the puppet was surprisingly strong, she did not want to but had no choice and forfeited. Hayate called the match. They both made their way back to the balcony as they awaited the next round. It was not much of a wait however as the board read Garra vs Lee.
Balcony
"Yahoo!" Yelled Lee as he jumped up and down with excitement.
"It' is time for mother to have blood". Said Garra on the other side as he sand-shunshin to the arena
Naruto at this time turned back to see Lee, who was in the middle of having a moment with Guy-sensei. It took him a second to man the hell up and walk into the sunset needing to talk to Lee.
"Hey Lee listen before you go down there, I just want you know that I will keep a eye out for you. If that mark starts acting up don't worry, I'll take care of it again".
"Ah Naruto once again you are a good friend, I thank you for looking out for me". Said Lee with a small bow
"As do I you are looking out for your fellow comrade is what the leaf is all about", said Guy with a thumbs up as Lee jumped down for a fight.
All right readers just going to be honest with yawl 4 days is not much time even in anime world. Sooooo the whole fight is cannon up to when Guy steps in then…
Arena
Guy stood there staring down Garra after his last attack on Lee when a certain feeling came over Guy, turning around slowly to see his precious student standing straight up with a dark aura about him. It was almost as Guy was staring at a stranger this feeling he was getting from Lee as he got closer, he began to see the dark marks on his face.
"Guy sensei get out of the way this match is not over". He said as he stumbled forward the marks beginning to spread more
"Lee what's the matter with you? That is enough for today you did well".
Lee did no answer as he instead he let out a roar followed by a small chakra pulls it wasn't strong enough to send guy flying but he did take a step back. No one said anything as the leaf genin looked on in horror they remembered what Lee did the last time he was like this. Guy on the other knew what he had to do as he braced himself.
"Idiot! Fuinjutsu style: Chakra Network Lock!"
To Guy Naruto came flying out of nowhere slamming his hand into Lee's arm. Guy seeing Lee trying to fight of Naruto helped the blond restrain Lee. After a few moments, the seal was complete Lee passed out from exhaustion. Guy thanked Naruto who just nodded in return before taking off to take Lee to the medic. Naruto then turned his attention to Garra who had been standing there just watching everything go down.
"You got something to say?" said Naruto staring down the red head
"Uzumaki I will have your blood!" said Garra as sand shot forward
A Loud crashed echoed the arena when the dust cleared Naruto was standing near the wall as Garra was planted into it. Naruto stared at Garra as he saw what looked like pieces of his skin feeling back onto his face. Upon closer look he realized it was sand that was creating a type of armor around the Garra.
"That's a interesting armor you have there".
With the Clan heads
The clan heads where watching on as the events went down, some of them were impressed by the boy's speed and level of skill. While others who doubt him where trying to figure out how the dead last student just applied a high-level seal. The Hokage was also impressed the boy seemed even faster than before, but he could not let this go on.
"Naruto that's enough stand down and as for you get your genin in line!" said the Hokage at the blonde and Baki respectfully.
Arena
"It seems fun time is over but trust me, in the finals I will show you your place!" said Naruto before walking back to the balcony.
"Naruto…" was all Garra said before sand shunshin back to his team
Balcony
"What happened?" asked Temari
"He... he got Garra how?" said Kakuro having never seen anyone before today get their hands on Garra let at alone two people and the blonde made it look easy.
"That Naruto is fast you should watch yourself or he'll get your ass". Said Bee where his students could not complain.
Naruto walked back to his group Hinata being the first to walk up to him
.
"Are you ok Naruto?"
"Yeah I'm fine, Lee did it to himself I warned him about using it".
They all began to talk amongst themselves as the arena once again had to be fixed the monitor lit up the remaining genin looked around before the monitor stopped. (Yugito vs Shino)
The young kunoichi eagerly jumped down to the arena and began to stretch, Shino was about to jump down when he felt a hand on his shoulder turning to see that it was Naruto.
"What's the matter Naruto?"
"Shino take them off right now your going to need every edge you can get". Shino nodded at his friend's words as he jumped down and began to undo his seals.
With the clan heads
"Your son too Shibi? Why is he letting that weakling Naruto boss him around"?
"You still refuse to acknowledge him after all you have seen and what he just displayed. Even Shikaku admit that those trained by Naruto are most likely to pass. I look forward to the day he shuts you up".
Most of the clan heads where shocked, the Aburame where usually quiet and reserve but not today. Shibi new that his son and Naruto where great friends and for his son one who was not so social around others opened and speaks more now. Then that is a friend who is worth defending in his eyes.
Arena
"Alright both fighter's ready? Hajime!" Said Hayate before jumping away
Yugito dropped down to her stance while Shino did the same his bugs starting to come out of his sleeves.
"(So, he is a bug user to bad for him)". Said Yugito with a smirk perk of being a jinchuriki
"(Naruto said that I need all the edge I have, there is no point of holding back)".
Yugito shot forward and the brawl began, Yugito was nimble and quick which was making it hard for Shino to land a dam strike. Shino realizing this tried to disengage jump away but Yugito was not going to let up that easily.
"Fire style: Fire Mouse Jitsu!
Yugito shot three fire balls that turned into small mice, Shino watched as they got closer to him. To his surprise they all exploded shooting flames everywhere.
"Earth style: Earth Wal!"
Said Shino at the last second managing to put the wall up before the flames made impact. Seeing the wall Yugito just smirked as the nails on her hands began to grow resembling claws. She then jumped at the wall and began slashing away.
Balcony
"(What the hell kind of jutsu is that?)" asked Naruto
"(It's not a jutsu more as a effect of having Nibi in her. The claws she has are stronger than steel and her flexibility is also another effect)".
"(Dam, well I'm sure Shino will be ok)"
Arena
Shino watched as Yugito ripped threw his wall seeing this Shino jumped back but to no avail as Yugito was immediately on him slashing at him Shino did his best to dodge but was soon cover in wounds all over. His back to the wall Yugito lunged for forward but was caught off guard when Shino launched a large nest of bugs at her. They completely swarmed her as she felt her chakra begin to drain.
"Ah! Nibi help me!"
"Right Kitten!"
Said Nibi as she began to flood Yugito with chakra, Shino's bugs beginning to burn of her body. She taking her one tail cloak form. Shino on the other side was just panting having seen his last move get tanked, he let out a deep sigh as he knew what he had to do.
"Procter, I forfeit".
"Oh yeah and why is that?"
"She just destroyed one of my hives and I'm low on chakra, it would be unwise for me to continue".
"Very well winner of the match Yugito" said Hayate
Yugito just nodded in response dropping out of her one tail cloak form before returning to her team, Shino meanwhile turned to look at his father they exchanged a small nod to one another as the boy walked back to the balcony.
Balcony
When Shino neared his friends, it was Naruto who stepped forward and extended his hand.
"Good job Shino you did well, you should be proud of yourself". Said the blonde shaking Shino's hand
"Yeah you did your best". Said Hinata with a smile as she began to look over Shino's wounds
"Indeed, giving the circumstances you did great". Said Yamato
It was bad luck really anyone else and this fight might have ended differently but a jinchuriki is not just anybody.
"Hey Yamato-sensei what do you mean circumstances?"
asked Sakura having overheard along with Sasuke who was also curious. Yamato hearing this tensed up a bit cursing at himself for the slip up.
"It's nothing to worry about just know that she is strong". Said Naruto
Sakura seeing the look on his face and the tone he used told her yup that is all I need to know.
"What makes her so strong?" said Sasuke not wanting to drop it
"It's not my place to say if she tells you then that's on her". Was all the blonde said pissing of the emo boy
With The Clan Heads
"Dam tough break Shibi I guess you and the lazy ass where wrong". Said Tsume shooting a cocky smirk at them both.
"troublesome". Was all the lazy one said while Shibi did not even acknowledge her, he was proud of his son.
Balcony
Naruto let out a deep sigh looking up at the monitors that began to go threw names.
"What's wrong Naruto?' asked Hinata
"All I wanted to do is fight someone, but not only have I not gotten my chance but look around. The only one's left are a dog bitch, your head up your ass cousin and you of course my love. I just wanted to fight someone new from a different village. Hinata just nodded but before she could reply she saw Naruto's smirk and turned her head to the monitor reading. (Neji vs Hinata)
"You get to fight your cousin… try not to kill him"
Hinata turn to see the blonde and as she did everyone could swear the room got colder.
"What ever do you mean? I could never do something like that... I'm a sweety aren't I?"
Naruto just slowly nodded at Hinata as a small shiver went down his back. He may not be afraid of her, but she did have this side to he that only her and Ayame knew. She let out a small giggle from the look on her face before jumping down to wear Neji was already waiting.
Arena
"You should give up now cousin fate has already determined the winner".
"You are still with that fate crap I guess somethings neve change".
Neji was surprised by the comment which got a few chuckles from some in the balcony and even some of the clan heads.
"Both fighters ready? Hajime!"
Neji dropped down to his gentle fist style and waited for Hinata
"What? I am not worthy of your Byakugan?" asked Hinata while taking her stance.
"I do not need it to beat you".
Said Neji as he moved forward ready to strike, as Hinata just stood there still. The next sound was that of a loud smack as Neji went from staring at Hinata to staring at the wall.
"You know Neji I'm usually in a good mood, but the sound of your voice and the fact that you think you can beat me without your byakugan. It just tells me that you need to get some sense smacked into you".
"I hope you enjoyed that hit, it will be the only one that you are going to get!" said Neji activating his byakugan
He shot forward at Hinata once again but this time Hinata charged as well, Neji going for a palm strike Hinata side stepping him and delivering a hard-right hand to his face. Neji's head snapped back Hinata grabbing onto his collar bringing him back close to deliver an elbow to the left side of his head. She then jumped forward driving her knee to his stomach, causing Neji to roll away as he tried to catch his breath.
"You see you're a failure, having to resort to a lessor taijutsu".
"No, I use other types of taijutsu because the gentle fist is not the ultimate form of fighting. But if you insist, I will lower myself to only using it.
Balcony
"Wow Hinata really is amazing it looks like she is dancing". Said Sakura
"Yeah Neji can't even hit her". Said Ino having gotten back from the medics
"I can't believe this is happening no one can beat Neji?" said Tenten as she and Guy where just watching Neji getting his ass handed to him.
Naruto just stood there smiling his girl was kicking ass and looked good doing it.
Arena
Neji was breathing heavily as he felt that a few of his chakra points have been blocked, while on the others side Hinata just stood there looking like she had not broken a sweat.
"Well this was fun Neji but it's time for me to end this".
Hinata charged forward and began her assault, Neji however was no pushover and did his best to hold his ground. But slowly he was getting pushed back towards a wall. Seeing how close he was he knew he did not have a choice, Hinata watched as a small smirk appeared in his face before he began to spin rapidly.
"Rotation" said Neji forcing Hinata to jump back
"Well it seems that you managed to learn a main house technique". Said Hinata while shooting a quick glance at Hiashi who was just as surprise as she was.
"Do you see like I told you, you will lose to me!" Hinata just smiled at this
"You know I feel sorry for you, you think you can see everything, yet you can't see past your own hatred. It's not my fault your father died just like it's not your fault my mother is gone".
Neji gritted his teeth at the mention of his father "(how dare she)" he thought. His anger getting the best of him as he charged Hinata who stood there picking her hand up.
"This is over Air Palm!"
She said as a chakra infused burst of wind blasted out of her palm nailing Neji in the chest. It pushed him back far, but he managed to catch himself but before he could recover he was blasted again. Neji was slammed into the wall, Hinata however was not done and blasted him a few more times. Neji was trying to peel himself of the wall as it felt like Hinata managed to crack one of his ribs with those blast. He managed to take a few steps when Hinata walked in front of him.
"You're within my field of vision Eight trigram: 128 palms!
"two palms"
"Four palms"
"Eight palms"
"Sixteen palms"
"Thirty-two palms"
"Sixty-four palms"
"One hundred twenty-eight palms"
She said before reappearing in front of him her back turn to him, Neji fell face first to the ground not being able to move. Hayate walked over to check on Neji who had not moved but he could tell the boy was out.
"The winner of the match Hinata!" she began to walk away before turning back to her cousin
"Fate is for weaklings who are to afraid to live, make your own choices in this life or don't bother living it".
Balcony
"Way to go hime, you really showed him his place" said Naruto as he picked her up and gave her a hug and kiss.
"Indeed, your special training really paid of". Said Shino
"I know she really was amazing". Said Sakura
"Yeah it looked like you were dancing around him when dodging, he couldn't even touch you ". Said Ino
"Well of course she is, she is going to be my mate after all". They all turned to see Kiba just standing there smiling
"You know Kiba I guess it's time, today will be the day I shut you the hell up".
"Yeah right more like the day I show everyone that you're just a lucky weak loser, then maybe Hinata will realize that she belongs with me".
The remain genin where just looking at each other wondering if Kiba really had a death wish or was he really that stupid they each remembered what Naruto was able to do in the forest. They could only wonder how bad this was going to be as the two jumped down to the arena.
Arena
"Both fighters ready? Hajime!"
"Hey Akamaru just sit back I'll end this in one blow".
"What the…"
Was all that Naruto was able to get out before getting shoulder tackled and rolling on the floor ending up face down.
"You can call the match now". Kiba said turning to Hayate
With the Clan Heads
Ha! You see that all it took was one hit, so much for Naruto he didn't put up a fight". Said Tsume only getting a eye roll from everyone else.
Arena
"Hey what are you waiting for? Call the match". Said Kiba to Hayate who turned to see Naruto who was picking himself up
"Hey this isn't over". Said Naruto as he stood up straight
"Looks like you can take a hit am I supposed to be impressed".
"Dam and hear I let you get a hit in out of pity, but if that's all you got this is just going to be sad".
"Yeah just keep talking it while make it more satisfying when I beat you". Said Kiba which made Naruto just shake his head
"Right… Well tell you what, I'm about to show you my own personal taijutsu". Said the blonde while taking a new stance
Balcony
"Hmmm that stance? Said Guy loud enough that everyone heard
"What about it?" asked Ino
"Well if I'm not mistaken that is a Muay Thai stance".
"What's Muay Thai?" asked Sakura
"Well long before the taijutsu we have now there where several forms of Martial Arts, each one with their one unique way of fighting. Then after a while they were all brought together, and we have taijutsu".
"But if we have taijutsu why would Naruto learn something from before?" asked Tenten
"Well you see just because something is new doesn't mean that it's better". Said Kakashi with a eye smile
"True and if Naruto really knows Muay Thai, then this just became a more painful experience for Kiba". Said Guy as Kiba charged Naruto
Arena
"Kao Loi!"
Said Naruto as he drove his knee into the side of Kiba's face, but before he could get another hit in Akamaru jumped at him trying to bite him. Kiba wiped the blood of his lips as he looked at Akamaru and tossed him a pill. The little dog grew a bit as his white fur turn red him growling more savagely.
"Beast Mimicry: All fours jitsu! Man, Beast Clone!"
Akamaru turned into a clone of Kiba as they both charged at Naruto, Kiba pulled out a few smoke bombs and tossed them all around Naruto.
"Gatsuga: Double Piercing Fang!"
The two Kiba's began to spin around rapidly looking like twin miniature tornados, as they began to tear up into the smoke. They bounce around repeatedly, till the smoke cleared they coming to a stop waiting.
"Seriously where you even trying to hit me at all?" said Naruto the smoke clearing seeing him just standing there his arms crossed his eyes closed.
"By the way if this the best you can do then I suggest giving up now".
Kiba was shocked he had used his family jutsu and yet there wasn't even a scratch on Naruto. The blonde began to walk towards him as he reached for more smoke bombs. Kiba was about to throw the bombs when his arm was caught mid throw Naruto standing next to him.
"What the? When did you?"
"You know I kind of feel bad for Akamaru having such a weak ass partner oh well".
Kiba screamed in pain as Naruto began to crush his wrist but not for to long, as he then pulled him forward before throwing him over his shoulder slamming him to the floor. Naruto quickly rolled out of the way from Akamaru who tried attacking him from the side. Having missed Akamaru turned around only to be surprised as Naruto jumped up putting his knees in his shoulders.
"Sorry boy"
Said Naruto before delivering a powerful elbow strike to the top of Akamaru's head who led out a small cry before falling limp on the floor.
"Akamaru!" Yelled Kiba who ran over to his partner who had turned back into a dog.
"What did you do to him?"
"That's called showing mercy, you won't be so lucky"
"Shut up!"
In raged Kiba charged at Naruto taking a swing only for Naruto to block it before driving his fist deep into Kiba's abdomen. Naruto made a clone who quickly got Akamaru and carried him away, before turning back to Kiba. Making a second clone the original beginning to wrap his chains around his fist while the clone neared Kiba. Seeing this Kiba acted jumping in to his jutsu.
"Gatsuga: Piercing Fang!"
Naruto's clone jumped managing to get out of the way while the original stayed still, he channeled a large amount of chakra into his chains. Kiba's attack neared as Naruto planted his feet and stuck both of his hands out together in time to collide with the miniature tornado. Naruto was pushed back his feet digging into the arena ground, but to everyone shock Naruto managed to catch him.
"Lighting-style: Rat Violent Quake!"
Naruto's clone began to send multiple lightning disc at Kiba who dropped the jutsu and began to try and dodge but was surprised that the disc began to follow him. He tried to outmaneuver them but one managed to slice into his arm letting out a discharged that shock the hell out of Kiba. The rest of the disc followed catching him on the shoulder legs and the side of his body. The disc continued to fry Kiba as he found it hard to move. He managed to turn his head in time to see Naruto's chained fist smash into his jaw. Kiba spat out a tooth as the feeling in his body started to come back, he caught himself before falling when the clone appeared in front of him delivering around house to the other side of Kiba's head. The two began to tee off on him with punches, knees and elbow strikes making it look like a game of ping pong. Naruto finished by grabbing Kiba by the neck and slamming him to the wall keeping him of the floor, Kiba trying to gasp for air as he stared into Naruto's cold blue eyes.
"Had enough?" said Naruto keeping a tightening grip on Kiba
Hayate was looking at this starting to wonder if should call the fight, it was clear that Kiba could not beat Naruto. He knew about the boy and him killing a future clan head probably not a good idea. Naruto however let go and dropped Kiba on his ass, the blonde began to walk away.
"The winner of the match…."
"NO! Get up Kiba don't let this beta beat you!" they turned to see Tsume yelling
"Don't know if you notice but if he keeps going, I'm going to put him down and he won't get back up". Said Naruto as he stared at Tsume hatred filled eyes
"What did you say? I swear I'll".
"You'll do what? You are the one who is telling him to get up. This is also a fight; I did not just attack him. So, do me a favor sit down and shut the hell up".
"Don't you ever talk to my mother that way!" Said Kiba who was standing leaning against the wall.
"Stay down Kiba final warning" said Naruto as he stuck out his right hand to his side
"I said Shut the hell up!" Kiba muster the last of his strength pulling out a kunai and charging the blond.
"You fool!" said Naruto
They all watched as a small blue orb began to form in Naruto's palm, the sound of wind rushing through the arena as the orb expanded into a large ball filling up his palm. Naruto disappeared from Kiba's view momentarily before reappearing behind him
"Rasengan!"
Yelled Naruto as he slammed the orb into the lower part of Kiba's back. He let out a loud scream of pain as he felt the ball grind into his back before getting sent flying into the wall slamming hard then falling over laying limp on the floor.
"Kiba! Yelled Tsume as she ran over to him turning him over slowly. Kiba, Kiba please talk to me".
"My legs… I cannot feel my legs".
No one said a word as a few of them were still trying to process what just happen, Naruto might have just crippled a future clan head.
"You Bastard!"
Tsume turned and began to charged Naruto she took a swing at the blonde who didn't even bother to charge. He let Tsume phase threw him
"Raseng…"
Naruto did not get to finish his attack as in about an instant, he was restrained. Yamato using his wood style to restrain his legs, Kakashi having wrapped his arm around his neck and the other to hold back his arm and the Hokage standing in front of him.
"Naruto that is enough!" said the Hokage.
Naruto turning his head looking at Kakashi and Yamato, the dead serious look on their face. He then let his chakra dissipate in his hand dropping his attack.
"Naruto that jutsu why did you use it on Kiba?" asked Kakashi
"Yes, you could have clearly ended this fight in a different way". Said Yamato
"If you also remember I told him to stay down, if anyone is to blame for him possibly being crippled is him or his own mother". Naruto answered coldly.
"What did you say!" yelled Tsume
"That is enough this is over! Hayate get on with it". said the Hokage trying to get things under control
"Yes, lord Hokage the winner of the match Naruto Uzumaki. Will the rest of you please come down here. (they all make their way down) First of all congratulations to all of you that have passed the second part of the chunin exams. The third and final part will take place in one month's time, where you will compete in a single round tournament in front of crowd and important people from across the country. These exams are important because they show the power of the villages future so do your best. Now then will you all turn your attention to the screen once more to see who you will be facing. Since there is a uneven number of you one of you will get a first round pass",
They all turned to see the names; it went as follows:
Sakura name came up first she got the pass
(Shikamaru vs Naruto)
(Sasuke vs Hinata)
(Garra vs Kankuro)
(Temari vs Yugito)
"There you go I wish you all the best of luck dismissed". Said Hayate as they all began to leave
Naruto was making his way out not really feeling like speaking to anyone when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"What's the matter Gramps?'
"Naruto, I don't know how the council will react to this. You did not break any rules, but I don't see how this will end well".
"Yeah when they hear that I crippled a future clan head I can't imagine that they will be to happy about it. That being said they can't do anything really, but for now I don't want to think about that I really just need to get out of here and figure out how I'm going to train for the next month".
"Well on that part I might be able to help you out, your godfather is in town".
"You mean Jiraiya the toad stage". Said the blond
"Yes, he recently came back to the village I'm sure that if their anyone who can train you further it's him. He is probably at the hot spring
"What makes you think he is there?"
"Call it a lucky guess".
Naruto just nodded at the Hokage as he walked away seeing his friends walking over.
"Naruto are you ok?" asked Hinata worried
"Yeah what the hell was that last jutsu?" asked Sasuke
"I'm fine and that last jutsu is a personal one, anyway look guys we will all train together tomorrow morning but for now I need to and find someone". They all nodded at the blonde as he took off.
Village Hot Spring
Naruto walked up to the Hot springs having had some time to calm down and relax since the exams. He looked around noticing that there were not a lot of people there, he walked around for a while before running into Ebisu.
"Naruto what are you doing here?" he said spotting the blonde
"Hey Ebisu, I was actually looking for someone what are you doing?"
"Oh, is this another lady friend". Said Ebisu smirking
"Shut it you closet pervert, no just an old friend".
Ebisu chuckle a bit he and Naruto where on a somewhat good bases, ever since he and Konohamaru become friends. Ebisu eventually turned around from his judgment mind he had and got to know the blonde for the person he is. Ebisu was about to make another comment when the two heard giggling coming from around the corner. They both look to see a man with long white hair laying down on the ground using a telescope to spy on women on the near the open spring.
"Such things will not take place in this village under my watch!" yelled Ebisu
"You are interrupting my research!"
Ebisu leaped into action as he tried to engage the man, who had not even turn to acknowledge him. Before Ebisu could make contact however there was a large puff of smoke and a large toad appeared, snagging him out of the air before slamming him to the ground knocking him out.
"Safe to say that you're the toad sage". Said Naruto walking up to the man who turned around (cannon style Jiraiya)
"Naruto? Is that you?" said Jiraiya as he stood up and walked up to the boy
"You know when I read Minato's and moms stories of you, I wondered if you rally where a pervert. Based on what I have seen so far mom was right".
"Minato mom? Kid you seem to know a lot we should probably talk somewhere else".
Naruto just nodded as he put his hand on Jiraiya both disappearing in a flash of light. Sadly, they both forgot Ebisu who laid there unconscious, just long enough for a group of women to stumble upon him and miss understand the whole situation.
Training Grounds
They both arrived after a flash of light as Jiraiya stumbled a bit trying to get his bearings while Naruto just stood there.
"Dam I haven't experienced that in a while start talking kid".
Naruto went on to explain everything that happen to him, from his childhood, from the way he was treated to him finding Hinata in the street that day. To finding out about his parents to his lineage and everything in between. It took awhile ending with what went down in the tournament. Naturally it took a min for Jiraiya to prosses what he just heard going through it all.
"I'm sorry for what happen Naruto if I had known I would have come back or at least taken you with me".
"It's fine to tell you the truth I'm not sure it was such a bad thing. Life sometimes gives you a bad hand, but it is what you do with it that matters".
"I'm glad you see things that way Naruto, but Minato did not make that jutsu to be used on a comrade". Said Jiraiya scolding him
"Yeah he also wanted the village to not treat me like crap we see how well that turned out, look I didn't aim to kill".
"That is not the point Naruto, you still have a lot to learn about control".
Naruto did not say anything to him he thought he did show control, he did not kill him after all. But in the end, he did not feel like arguing, instead he just went back to why he was there in the first place. Jiraiya nodded as he thought about what to do, his godson was not anything like he had expected. He seemed a lot more mature then most kids his age, he needed some help in areas but still not your normal sixteen years old. Jiraiya began to explain to Naruto about a team of S class nukenin that where going around capturing the jinchuriki.
"The group call themselves the Akatsuki and up in till a few months ago Orochimaru was part of that group". Said Jiraiya
"Wow a group of powerful nukenin coming after me… why not". Said Naruto just shaking his head
"This is not something to take likely Naruto these guys are dangerous; you just face that Teme yourself so you know what I mean".
"Yeah no need to remind me your former teammate is one of the bastards on my list".
"There's a long waiting line for that chance".
"Sounds about right, so how about the training?"
'Well we can work on chakra control, and I can teach you a few jutsu".
"Alright sounds good but…. Wait! I just remembered something" said Naruto flashing away leaving Jiraiya wondering what happened. A few moments later Naruto reappeared holding a large chest.
"What the Naruto where did you find that?" asked Jiraiya showing he knew what it was
"I thought you might know what this is".
"Well yeah I help make the dam thing, but Minato never told me what he put in It".
"Alright then let's find out together come on help me out". Said Naruto as he looked over the chest.
"Well it was Minato's; I just wonder why he went threw all the trouble to make it this way".
"I'm guessing he just didn't want it to fall into the wrong hands".
Jiraiya just nodded as he began to explain that the chest was made with seals that worked like a safe. But instead of turning the knob for a combination you use your chakra, increasing and decreasing your levels. The seals where made with that in mind so to much or too little chakra would fail. It's was also made so that it required two people to open it, they needed to be seal masters and have a high level of chakra. One wrong move and the dam thing will blow them both up. This was why it was Jiraiya and Minato who the ones that closed it in the first place. They began to go threw the steps to unlock the chest, Jiraiya explain to Naruto what he would have to do in his part Naruto just nodding understanding. The process lasted a long time eating away at Naruto's chakra like crazy, but the end was near as Jiraiya gave him the signal and they made the last move stepping away from the chest it unlocking and opening by itself.
"For the love of Kami did that take forever, the dam thing ate so much of my chakra why the hell did you two make this thing".
'What did you expect Minato was tough as hell and I'm a sannin, we didn't want just anyone getting their hands on it".
Naruto just nodded as he looked over to the chest walking up to it, he saw it contained a large scroll he pulled it out seeing that it seemed old as hell. He turned around and showed it to Jiraiya, he knew immediately what it was.
"What all that and Minato just put a summoning scroll in there?' said Jiraiya also trying to catch his breath
"Wait I thought Minato was a toad summoner like you" said Naruto a bit confused
"Yeah he was but why would have this one and where did it come from?"
"The letter that came from with the box said that he found this during the war, he kept it secret because this is supposedly a powerful weapon. He was already with the toads at this point, so he never bothered to us it".
"I see, any idea what summons?"
"Nope just said to be careful".
Jiraiya nodded as he saw Naruto beginning to look over the scroll, the blonde began to open it on the ground seeing the slots in it where blank.
"Naruto wait" said Jiraiya before summoning a large toad with a scroll in his mouth.
"I'm assuming this is the toad scroll". Said Naruto as he opened the scroll seeing Jiraiya and Minato's signature there
"Yes, if you signed this in your blood you will become a toad summoner like me".
Naruto just nodded as he began to think things over, from what he read in Minato's notes the toad contract was not a bad way to go. The truth of it though was he wanted to do things his own way. He also had a good idea on who could use that contract.
"Thanks, Jiraiya but I think I'm going to go a different route, but I tell you who could use that contract later".
Jiraiya just nodded a little sad that his godson would not become a toad sage, but he wanted to respect his decision. He went on to explain how the scroll work, after a few moments Naruto signed the contract in his blood. He had just finished signing it when there was a puff a smoke and Naruto was gone.
"Naruto!" yelled Jiraiya
Unknown Location
"What the hell happened?"
Asked Naruto as he tried to figure out what happen one minute, he was on the training grounds with Jiraiya the next he was on complete darkness. Suddenly the floor around him started to shake as he tried to stay still as what appeared to be torches began to light up all around him. It seemed like he was in a giant circle as he turned around to see what a giant throne was. Sitting down on it was a large man, he was bare chested with what appeared to have red markings covering the top part of his body. He whore silver gauntlets white pants and silver boots. He had long white spiked air and beard making him look wild. He sat there on the throne one leg crossed over the other his head resting on his fist as he stared at the blonde. Naruto looked around trying to figure out where he was, all he could tell was that he was in a cave of sorts.
"You know I can't remember the last time someone appeared here". Said the man standing up and walking towards Naruto
"Hello, where am I?"
"Have things changed that much, before you humans had manners and introduced themselves before asking questions". Said the man now standing in front of Naruto, the blonde now seeing that the man was taller than him.
"Says the one who probably summoned me here".
The man just smirked a bit as he looked over Naruto, he closed his eyes for a bit before quickly opening them and laughing.
"Well if isn't my old friend, how long has it been you orange bastard".
Naruto was caught of guard; he did not expect the man to know that he had the nine tails.
"(Naruto be careful I know who this is he is not human; he is not someone to take lightly)".
Naruto just mentally nodded as he put his focus back on the big guy.
"Very well, my name is Naruto Uzumaki and I am the nine tails jinchuriki. Who are you?"
"That's better, now then you are here means that you found our scroll. It also means that you signed the contract".
"That is right, my father found your scroll and hid it away for years. The question now is what summons are you?"
The man did not answer instead he took a step back making some room, he seemed to be concentrating before two large black wings appeared from his back. Naruto could feel the chakra from the man begin to rise, as he started to become less human. He grew as the skin on his body went from smooth to scaly, he grew so big that he hit the top of the cave breaking the roof as a large puff of smoke came after. The sunlight poured in as Naruto tried to adjust, the smoke cleared, and Naruto stood in awe. The once dark cave was now torn apart as before Naruto stood a massive jet-black dragon.
"We are the dragon summons, and I am AZAZEL! The King of the Dragons!"
Azazel let out a mighty roar that began to shake the very floor they stood on, Naruto channeling chakra in his feet so not to fall over. Looking up Naruto could not help but to be amazed by the size and the power he felt coming of Azazel.
"You managed to stay standing, you passed the first test".
"Test?"
"Yes boy, don't think that we will just anyone become our summoner". Said the dragon king turning back to his human form
"What's the next part?"
Asked Naruto beginning to wonder how he was going to get out of this. Azazel did not answer instead he walked over to Naruto delivering a quick palm strike to the blonde who manage to put his hands up. But surprising Naruto the strike had so much force behind it he was sent flying in to the cave wall.
"Test of combat, show us your worth Naruto Uzumaki!" said Azazel just standing there with his arms crossed
"(Naruto do not hold back; Azazel is not one to show mercy)".
"(Copy that let's go partner!)"
Said Naruto as the Kyuubi began to pump as much chakra into Naruto, who on the outside erupted in his blue and red aura his Sharingan flaring to life. Azazel raised a eyebrow at this, him being able to sense the amount of chakra the boy was putting out. Naruto did not wait as he took off to Azazel the floor splitting from his speed and power. Azazel saw Naruto near him before disappearing, but he did not move at first only to bend forward at the waist avoiding the flying round house from Naruto. He landed on the floor turning back trying to deliver a spinning backfist, Azazel simply dodging. Naruto let out a barrage of punches and kicks, Azazel using one of his hands to block them all and making it look easy. Seeing a opening Azazel delivered another palm strike this time nailing Naruto in the chest pushing him back.
"Not bad for a human, but your going to have to step it up if you want to be a dragon". Said Azazel giving Naruto the bring it on gesture
Naruto smirked as he reached for his chains pulling out his three-prong kunai. He went head on with Azazel again while planting the kunai around them. Azazel went for another strike before making contact however Naruto disappeared flash of light. Azazel was then caught off guard as he felt Naruto's fist collide with his face before disappearing in the light again.
"Kai Loi!" Said Naruto delivering a strong knee before disappearing again.
"Rasengan!"
Said Naruto as he tried to shove the blue orb into Azazel, only for to be caught by the wrist. Naruto staring wide eyed at Azazel, the dragon king using his strength to crush Naruto's wrist. Azazel wiped of a bit of blood with his other hand, Naruto dropping the jutsu and going for a swing. Azazel instead going for a combo of his own, landing each hit before pushing Naruto off once more. Naruto could not remember the last time he was hit this hard, it felt like getting hit by a boulder. Naruto started to stand, his Sharingan beginning to change again going to his Mangekyo.
"You have those eyes!" yelled Azazel sounding angry
Naruto did not care at this he began to go through his hand signs.
"Amaterasu style: Great Flame Dragon!"
Naruto roared as he shot a massive black flaming dragon, it tears up the cave floor as it neared Azazel.
"You dare use that bastard flame! (Azazel goes trough his own hand signs) Sage Dragon Art: Fire Dragon Roar!
A giant stream of white flame shot from Azazel mouth, it collided with Naruto flame the to having a brief struggle for dominance. Before the white flame over ran Naruto's, black flame engulfing the blond and sending him into the wall once more.
"(Naruto!)" yelled the Kyuubi as he tried to rapidly heal Naruto who was burned all over.
Naruto laid there on his stomach not moving or being able to move. He watched as Azazel walked over, his vision going blurry he saw as two figures walked up besides Azazel.
"I'm surprise you didn't turn him to ash with that last attack". Said a female voice
"Yeah never thought a human could actually survive". Said another mans voice
"You two are right… It seems we finally have our summoner" said Azazel this being the last thing Naruto heard before blacking out.
