Thank you for reading up to this point and hope you will enjoy this next chapter.
Have fun reading.
Naruto started to use his new sense to try to find Hana, he slowly started to able to follow her by his nose. It was all too new to him, to be able to smell like someone like a fox. He did know his eyes were also far stronger and better than before, he could even see things he would have never.
When he finally arrived to her, she was in a small clearing which he did know he could not take this easy. Even if he was trained by Kakashi, he had to fight her without being foolish due to the fact she was his new sensei. He did know you do not get pointed to be a sensei if you did not have the skills to back it up.
"Let us see what you got foxy, but I wonder what your new body can do. Also do wonder just how you got this new body." She pointed out to him in a taunt.
"Be careful what you ask for, because I won't lose to you." Naruto did know even without her dogs, he had to be careful himself.
He did know that her clan prided themselves with how they collaborate with their dog partners which made him wonder why she left them behind. He did know that it made her weaker eventually without them due to her clan attacks need their partners.
He moved to rush at her with shadow clones, while still trying to get use to his new body. He did know he could combo with his shadow clones, unlike her he was not going to do anything to hold back. He did know he wanted to show the world that he could be strong enough to take the hat from the old man, this was his first steppingstone.
His body felt stronger and faster than he ever had in his life, he did want to try to understand these new changes done to him. He did know that this could be what puts the favor on his side for this fight against her.
He did also wonder just how fast he could go, Kakashi did train him in speed. It was one of the main lessons that Kakashi had showed him, that speed was your best friend. That also why he trained him how to do hand signs faster than anyone else.
Before this boost he was already fast, his stamina could even beat anbu level shinobi. So, he wanted to see just how much he could push Hana to her limits against him. If he could put her to her limits, he could win due to out lasting her, that was his main plan.
At first Hana was still faster than him, the more he used his new body the faster he found himself going. He was getting to the point that he was catching up to her, he did know that he would win this fight, he had to win. He refused to give up nor lose to anyone, he was going to become the next Hokage.
He started to make shadow clones to try to corner her, he did know she may have been faster than him. He could try out numbering her with his clones, which was why he made around ten of them which he noticed they also had his newfound speed.
With the shadow clones and him he ended up trapping her against mountain that was heading up to the Hokage's faces. He did know these areas of the village all too well, it had spent much of his time sitting on the Fourth Hokage's head. There was something about that one Hokage that spoke the most to him.
He did know if she wanted to win this fight, then she would have to finally face him. He could see that all the running was hitting hard on her, unlike him she did not have an endless supply of stamina.
"Is the doggy ready to fight now or do you want to keep playing tag? I can go all day and night with my stamina, can you say the same?" Naruto teased.
He did know he was above being genin due to Kakashi's training, he was trained to be better than genin years ago. At the level he was, he did know that Hana could still win yet he also did know he could win. It was all down to the one that made the first mistake, Naruto did wonder just who that would be.
He did want to see if she would really bend over if he won, that prize was something he was going to enjoy winning. He smirked before he rushed at her which she took down few of his clones before the real one landed good hit to her stomach.
She tried to do round kick him before he grabbed her leg and used his to cause her to fall on her back. She quickly got on all fours before starting to spin at him, with her clan jutsu that caused him to dodge out of the way.
He did know she would be deadly even without her partners, he was glad she did not have them with her. Still, he had forgotten about her clan skills did not need her partners for. He did know he would not make that mistake again.
"So, the doggy has some bite to her. Let us see what else you have, because I do want to earn this reward then fun way." He teased once more.
"You better stop dreaming, I will not lose to my own student." She told him. "If I do, I will never hear end of it by Kaa. She said in low whisper.
Naruto rushed at her once more with shadow clones, he quickly did hand signs for one of his futon jutsu. He started to send waves of strong gusts of wind at Hana, which caused her to be pushed back hard into a tree.
He could see her getting back hope which he was glad he did not hit her too hard, yet this was not enemy he was fighting against. He did know he still had to beat her, which caused him to do another futon attack. This one was what looked to be a dragon made of wind, it headed right for her which she used her clan attack once more to block it.
She almost stopped it, being tossed to the ground once more. Due to her clan, it caused the attack only to slam her semi-hard into the ground. She just looked up at student and could not believe just how strong he really was, she could tell he was holding back.
She went at him with hand to hand, she could tell that he was too well trained to be genin which caused her to regret her words. She started to wonder just how the Hokage had set this team up like this, she pushed that side she did not have the time to think on it.
Even so she refused to give up, she still had some pride even if it was as crazy as her brother sense of pride. She did her best to start moving faster, to try to get any edge on him which she found out to be harder than she thought.
Naruto was truly thankful that Kakashi had trained him in many ways of hand to hand, which he had picked up quickly. He also did know his new body was also giving him a boost in strength along with speed, these two made it harder for Hana to counter him. He did wonder just what else this change had done to him, he just wanted to push himself even harder against her.
He wanted to keep pushing himself in this fight till he got to the point that he hit his limit, he wanted to feel it. He wanted to keep on trying to figure out just how much Kyuubi had changed him, just how he could better himself with these changes.
After a while of their sparing Naruto was above her which she was on the ground underneath him panting for air. She could not believe she had lost yet before she could speak, he had claimed her mouth with his.
She moved her tongue to dance with his, she did not know why she was kissing him back, yet she simply let herself do it. She slowly moved her hands to his chest while the two of them kept their make out season going.
"I guess I won that prize?" He joked.
"Yes, you did, to think I would lose to you. You better know how to manage your prize because I dislike men that cannot manage me." She kissed him back.
"I guess you past our real test." Voice joked nearby.
They looked to see Tsume standing there, watching them which Naruto did know that she was the clan head. He also had met her few times over the years, yet something was off about this test about which she was talking.
"My beloved daughter can give you whatever this prize later, for now we need to talk pup." She stated to him.
"What is there to talk about?"
"First get off my daughter, I do know you want to jump her body, yet I do not want to watch. So, save that for later?" She asked, before standing there sightly annoyed.
Naruto got off her and helped her, yet she just whispered tonight, then she walked over to her mother followed by him. She did not know what her mother wanted yet she was not even talked to about this test.
That really did not sit with her, she should have been told this was just a test. She really believed what she was told about being his sensei, that he was just a genin. She wanted to know the truth from her mother, and she was not happy with her at all.
"The Hokage did know you would be too strong to be placed on a genin team, so we put her heads together to think of new plan. First, we need to see how strong you were, so we put you up against my daughter here. I am shocked by how much you were holding back, so the three of us are going be a team. We may have guests joining our team from time to time to evaluate you and to grade you." Tsume filled them in.
"Why did you not even tell me this?" Hana stared dumbfounded by her mother.
"Because we wanted you to do your best without knowing that he was stronger than a normal genin, plus it was fun watching. It is not every day a genin can manhandle my daughter like that, it was incredibly fun watching." Tsume added last part with a laugh.
"Also, your friend here, I do know who she really is. It is time for Hana-chan here to also know the truth. We are going be working like a team, there is no reason to hide things from each other." Tsume pointed out.
"What does she mean?"
"Kuu-chan is really the Kyuubi that is still sealed inside of me, I just gave her freedom of the seal without major of her powers." Naruto explained.
"You can call me Kurama from now on, that is my real now." Kurama added.
"I honestly do not know what to think of that, but I am glad you are not trying to kill us." Hana just stared at them due to the news.
"She is genuinely nice woman and other part is she was reason that I aged up so fast. Now I am faster, stronger than I ever been in my life. I going to keep everyone I care about safe, and I will never go back on my word no matter what. Dattebayo." Naruto smiled at them.
"I know you will, and I am going to be here to make sure you can do that, no matter what comes our way." Kurama added.
"Let us get back to the clan house, there we can sit down and talk about the future of this team. I do know that this will be a rare case, this will also be fun one. We will be starting higher rank missions because d rank missions are only good for team building for new genin. It is not something for people above genin level.' Tsume stated before heading home.
She looked back to see the three of them following her, she did wonder if her daughter would really go through with her reward. She did know that if she did, she would have to keep Kiba away from the house for the night, which was not an easy task to do. Her daughter would own her a huge favor in the future if she had to do that.
When they got to the clan grounds Tsume had told him to spend the night with Shino due to team building she called it. It took long time of talking for him to agree, she just shook her head because she really needed a drink of dealing with that one. She loved her son, yet he could be royal pain in her ass.
"Now that one annoying pup is dealt with, it is time to deal with you." She told him while waving him to sit down on the couch.
She sat down before Hana took her sit on the chair beside the couch, Naruto had sat down beside Tsume. Kurama just yawned before she moved to take a nap on the second couch that was in the living room.
"I will warn you pup because I am going to train you right into the ground. I do care if it hurts or if you are going pass out, I will not stop training till I am done with you. That goes the same for you Hana-chan, you losing to him means you need go back to training. I going to make sure you both are ready for anything in the future." She said with smirk showing.
"Wait, why me? I am not a genin and you do not need to train me." Hana panicking did her best to get out of it.
"We are a team now dear, so you better listen to your leader. Do you understand me, or do you need be reminded what happens when do not listen to me?" She gave feral smirk this time.
"No, I will listen Kaa-chan." She spoke in defeat.
"I wonder what happens when Hana-chan does not listen to you, what do you do?" Naruto asked, wondering just what made her give in so fast.
"That is a clan secret, one day you can learn it. That is if you end up mating with Hana or one of my clan members." She laughed before Hana glared deadly at her. "It is not my fault you made that bet with him."
"I do know that I going to keep making sure that I get stronger, I want to keep everyone that I care about safe. I also plan to take that hat from the old man, even if major of this village hates me, I just do not care. I will become the strongest in this village and I will not let anyone, or anything stop me, so try your best shot sensei." He looked at her.
"My best shot you say? I guess I must truly train you into the ground, so you regret making that bold statement. You better not cry when I am done running you through the ground and repeatedly do it to you." Tsume showed a feral smirk.
"You really should not have done that, now we both are doomed." Hana just looked at him paled in the face.
"Bring it, I am not scared of you." He glared at her.
"I will say you got balls, yet we will just see how long they last. Try not to go too hard on my daughter and I will see you tomorrow." Tsume walked out leaving the three of the alone, she did not want to hear it either.
"I am going to talk with Kurenai-chan about your new extra in this agreement, so have fun." She kissed him before smirking.
She did know she would tease him later for this one, she also did know that he was an idiot at times. She just wished these moments could last little bit longer, there was something coming for him. It was a storm, and she did know that, yet she could not stop this storm from hitting everyone he cared about.
It was same storm that killed his family, the one about which he did not even know. There was single bit of hope, which was that he could either control or kill her in the end. That hope was something that Kurama had to make sure that she trained him to win in the end, even if it meant that she would not live to see him grow old.
That was the cost she was willing to pay, slowly Kurama walked out of the house leaving the two of the alone. The real question in the end would be will Naruto have the will to go through it even if it meant killing the person he loved, the first person he ever loved? Could he save that loved one or will he kill her if he could stomach doing the deed in the first place.
"They both left so fast, I wonder what caused that." Naruto still careless.
"You really are an idiot at times, aren't you? They left so you could get your reward, even if I am shocked your girlfriend left like that." Hana filled him in.
"I am surprised that did not want to join in for the reward, I guess she has something she needs to do." Naruto was confused.
He thought about his time with Kurenai, yet this time Kurama did not want to join in, he did know he would ask why later. The one thing on his mind was if Hana really were going to do what she claimed she would.
Hope everyone liked it and let me know what you thought about it.
How will their teamwork, who will be these guests?
Can Naruto manage his prize, what is Kurama plotting?
