Chapter Two: The meeting of Chivalric Shinobi, Big Boned Fighter, and the Lazy Genius

Hayabusa Naruto wondered around his mansion lazily, he was not used to living alone. He always had his father to talk to when he got bored. Last week, the 8th week of his stay in Konoha, he had explored the village and the forest around it. Turning on his television, which was the first television in Fire country or this world for that mater, he retrieved his Xbox III, again another first, and plugged it in. The first game that came to his mind was Starcraft vs. Dark Reign 3265 TM, his dad's idea of strategy lessons. Waiting for the game to load he went to the kitchen storage brought out a his secret stash of snacks and came back to the living room. He sat down smiling, knowing that for the first time in his life, there would be no Aunty Ayane bothering him with whats healthy and what not. Just as he was about to play, someone knocked at his door. He grumbled slightly wondering just who, in the nine hells, would dear to bother the Great Huyabusa Naruto during his play time.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT" he yelled to the intruder.

Nara Shikamaru grumbled a little. Here he was along with his best friend Akimichi Choji doing this guy a favor by giving him his assignment for the week, and he's yelling at him! Who the hell did hi think he was anyway?

"Oh hey, Chichi who's your friend?" asked Naruto.

"My names not Chichi its Choji, Ok. And this is Shikamaru. We're here to give you your assignments, and why aren't you coming to school? And more importantly what's that stuff your eating?" asked Choji eying Naruto's box of Pocky .

"Oh, Hokage ojisan, told me not to. He said I don't need to relearn all the basics since I already know them. As for history, and all that other crap, I just read about from the books he gives me weakly. And these are non of your business. Now you coming in or not?" He asked them suddenly feeling worried for his snacks.

"Sure, why not. We do need a little break." Stated Shikamaru.

Leading them to the living room, he told them to sit whilst he went to get them some drinks. Upon entering the living room, he noticed Shikamaru looking around intently in his house, observing all the marvels of house hold appliances that he had taken for granted.

Naruto went on to explain some of the principals of the items, later telling them he got them from another country to cover for his dimensional transits.

"Oh, so…whats that?" Shikamaru asked, pointing to the Xbox III and the entertainment center. He went on to explain the principals of the T.V and the video game.

An hour later.

"So that's why your hair was blue. I knew it was an hair color, but that troublesome Ino just kept on insisting it was natural." Said Shikamaru after Naruto told him he colored his hair.

"No, as you can see, I'm a natural blond. I just colored it blue because I thought it would make me look cool." Came the reply.

"Ok, so what are you playing now?" asked Shikamaru.

"Starcraft vs. Dark Reign 3265, wanna play a round or two." replied Naruto.

"Sure, it not like we have anything better to do on a Friday. Besides we're still academy students. We should have fun now while our free time lasts. But we still have to call our parents to tell them we'll be coming home late." answered Shikamaru.

"Sure the phones over there, I'll go get some more ( two four feet by four feet boxes) snacks since Chichi has ate them all" how he ate all that chips, Naruto would never now.

"Strange world. It's as if it's a mix of the Vigoorean modern era, and its pre technology era" Sure it was understandable that a lot of counties in Vigor were like that. This place had electricity, running water, sewer systems, gas stove ovens and the likes. But it's almost as if children here didn't do stuff like kids back at the old Tenshin village, and most other places in Vigor did. They had no T.V, no DVD's, no cars, and a bunch of other stuff that a lot of people in Vigor had taken for granted.

After retrieving the snacks and some drinks, Naruto went back to living room determined to show his two new friends the wonders of T.V. They spent the rest of the day and evening playing games (or in Choji's case, eating while simultaneously playing, how he did that, Naruto would never know). Eventually deciding to spent the night as well as the whole weekend at the Uzumaki mansion.

Day of the Gennin exams

Leaves flew slightly downwards onto to grassy ground of the Academy courtyard. It was still five o'clock in the morning and the sun was beginning to rise just over the horizon. For Hayabusa Naruto, this day was the first day of the rest of his life. His friend Shikamaru and Choji had not arrived yet, and Hinabi was still at home going through the morning rituals of the Hyuuga clan. He stood there, silently going through the first kata of one of the many forms of martial arts he had learned. He knew that a lot of the techniques that Konoha shinobis use require chakra manipulation. But he also knew that to be able to truly use any kind of spiritual energy, he must unit his mind, body, and soul. So there he stood going through the third stage kata of the ancient art of Tai Chi, never knowing he had acquired an audience.

His form was beautiful, quiet yet powerful. His surrounding aura was one of calmness. His eyes closed and seemingly content to let the world fly by. A lot of Konoha Chunnins and Jounins that were of duty or were coming back from their missions had come to observe the boy. Some had actually joined in with his kata, trying to impersonate what the five stages that the boy was going through. Mito Gai and his student Rock Lee was among them. To say that Gai was impressed was a big understatement. A lot of the Taijutsu forms they were using involved a lot of speed, strength, if not both. This form he observed was graceful yet powerful and fast at the same time, almost like the Gentle Fist of the Hyuuga clan. His motions flew through his kata without pause making it see like a connected process. The boy had spent an hour going through the motions and Gai now wanted to test how well the battle stance fared in actual combat.

"Ahem"

"Huh, oh hello there." Replied Naruto to the strange man in spandex.

"Yes, my name is Mito Gai, the beautiful green beast of Konoha! And I wish to challenge you to a sparing contest with my, youthful fire of a student Rock Lee." Answered Gai.

Everyone sweatdropped.

"My name is Hayabusa Naruto, and I accept your challenge Mito san" said Naruto.

Turning slowly to the side, Naruto observed as another green clad figure with the same bowl cut, and fuzzy eye brows that Gai had slowly approach him. He smiled slightly and was about to go into the Shatakan Karate when Gai asked him to fight with Tai Chi.

He sighed, then nodded. Going it to the first stage, he relaxed and observed the fuzzy eyebrows going into his Taijutsu form. He cleared his mind, as he would when fighting with his Katana. Gai gave the signal and the green clad fuzzy eyebrows kid burst in speed, rapidly approaching the boy. Sending his fist in full speed towards Naruto, he was surprised when Naruto grabbed his wrist swinging him over his back and sent him crashing into a tree. Again Naruto settled into his first stance. Gai observed his student and Naruto close in on each other and stop, standing there waiting for the first to throw a strike. Lee quickly jumped in a back flip hoping to kick the boy and end the match. Again he was surprised when Naruto blocked with both hands, using the force of the kick to elevate the power behind his own back flip kick, he sent Lee flying upwards. Landing on the ground, he quickly pushed upward and caught Lee in a tornado kick. As Lee landed, he planed about what he was to do. His opponent seems to rely on mostly defensive attacks, so slow power attacks would not work. Pushing his back of the ground, he stood upwards closed the distance between him and Naruto, and then proceeded to strike in furry of short punches and kicks. His opponent how ever, because of his quick reflexes, blocked each and every single strike. He then proceeded to stick at each pressure points, with the small needles he had grabbed from little pockets on the arms of his jacket while he was blocking; Naruto went through the process again. This time he stuck each needle on the areas he struck. Lee found him self in bind, his muscles had suddenly stopped. He was numb all over and was not able to move.

Suddenly clapping was heard. The Hokage, along with Hyuuga Hisashi and his two daughters, and some academy students with their parents (beginner classes) had joined the crowd.

"Good show Naruto kun, now tell us what did you due the Lee kun?" asked the Hokage.

"Oh, that . Lee san relies to heavily on speed and strength, while the art I was using was designed as a purely defensive stance. A lot of Lee san's attacks had used two much speed and strength. And his bodily expression alone told me what he was to do. All I did was wait for the right time then I struck him one of my own attacks" replied the boy.

"That attack you used, what exactly dose it do?" asked a vary intrigued Gai.

"Oh, its called the 'Kiss of the Dragon'. I basicly limits the blood that travel through the nervous system" answered Naruto while pointing all the nerves where the needle had struck." It if I were to us the final needle on his neck, the blood through his system would stop entirely, the techniques finisher is to have the final needle removed. If that was to happen, than the pressure that was slowly built up from the other needles would force blood upwards through the head, crushing the brain and than draining slowly out of the openings on his face" he continued.

"Fasinating, and this technique. Dose it reqire chakra at all?" Asked Hisashi.

"No not at all" he answered.

"Um, Naruto kun, would you please remove the needles" asked a very nervous Lee. Having you brain crushed from blood preasure did not sound like a good idea.

"Sure." Naruto answered, than proceeded to remove the needles.

"Naruto kun, if I may ask. Would you be able to teach both my daughters that Taijutsu style? As well as that technique?" asked Hisashi.

"Yes, but they would need time if they wanted to completely master both" he answered.

"Thank you"

With that, the group of on lookers proceeded to break. The Hokage, Naruto, the Hyuuga sisters, and the lower classmen of the academy proceeded to enter the school. Naruto concentrated knowing that his Gennin exam was to commence in under an hour. Only him, Hinata, and Hinabi had shown up, and they were waiting for the rest of his classmates.

Hinabi on the other hand was just glad she could attend the exam today. After all would be her best friend's last day at the academy and she wanted to be there for him. She didn't mind the bag of Pockys he gave her though, she had found out first had that her mother had a sweet tooth and apparently found her now favorite snacks vary appealing.

Hinata on the other hand was glad she came here early. Her dad had just found her and Hinabi a trainer. Yes, it does mean more training, but the sound of her training with Naruto sounded vary appealing. For some reason or another, ever since that one-sided conversation with her, she's been feeling pretty strange whenever he was around.

The formation of Cell Thirteen was one of the most talked about news in Konoha. A lot of things were different about this particular group. It had two geniuses, and one particularly strong big boned ninja. All three members of the cell were airs to prominent clans with in the Leaf. With Sarutobi Asuma as their Jounin instructor, there was a lot of thing to look forward to in Cell Thirteen.

A month after its formation, the three teens proposed a plan for their Hokage. The plan, written and approved by all the members of Cell Thirteen including its Jounin instructor, proposed for a formation of an independent organization directly under the command of the Hokage, and his Council of Elders. This organizations goal was to eradicate all Leaf missing nins, the protection of Konoha from out side invasion, and to look out for the interest of fire country. The plan was approved and thus Cell Thirteen became the first team of Project: Shadow Hunter. The three members of Cell Thirteen was sent to training at the Uzumaki Estates, which quickly was established as the training grounds, headquarters and barracks for Shadow Hunter Candidates. After nine months of intensive training in weapons, demolition, tactical combat, assassination, and all manner of Black Ops training from Vigorean Black ops Agents, Cell Thirteen was ready for action. During those months, a lot of things happened to the trio. The two Konoha natives were introduced to the truth about Naruto's origins, his past and why he came here. It made perfect sense to both of them, all the things he had at the mansion had given them reasons to believe what he told them. They had become fast friends, almost like brothers because they were outcasts, Shikamaru being lazy, Choji being big boned, and Naruto being an unwelcome outcast.

The most prominent of these changes were their looks. Choji had been subjected to scientific research. The results of these research concluded that he truly was big boned.

With intensive training and the help of Fat assimilation pills, Choji changed dramatically.

Much of his and his family's delight, Choji's physique became dense muscles. His family however, uninformed with his involvement in the project concluded it as a product of puberty. But because of his increased metabolism, and effect of the FA pills that lasts a life time, he still ate so much. Naruto had a high spurt. Though little, he was glad that he was now four inches taller. Shikamaru gained some muscles, his body became denser and his resolve was changed. Now he had something to do that was actually productive. For all outward appearances he was still a lazy gennin. This however was just a ruse to help protect his identity and involvement in the program.

Cell Thirteen, a pioneer program, designed to create the perfect soldier became a new branch of Konoha's shinobi force. All information on the three new agents were deemed classified. For all outward appearances, Cell Thirteen was a Gennin team under the command of Sarutobi Asuma doing regular D class, and C class missions. But in truth, Cell Thirteen Code Name Shadow Hunter was a feared organization that undertook S class missions to eliminate all hunter Nins of the Hidden Leaf.

The Hokage of the Hidden Leaf smiled slightly at the document he read.

Classified: For your eyes only

It is with due pleasure that I inform you of the Projects success. Statistical analysis of the three man team shows efficiency and combat resilience. Naruto's leadership skills are second to none. It seems as though the boy was born to lead. And has a tendency to rub his confidence and dedication to others. Shikamaru shows vast changes from his original persona. His natural camouflage of laziness is what leads opponent into underestimating him. He shows an affinity to the use of field cloaking armor, and his fast thinking is what also led to the success of the mission. Choji show an affinity to the use of explosives and other destructive material. He is dedicated and loyal. Unlike the other two however, Choji is a born soldier. Once his sets his mind to success he would go through any obstacle in his way.

They show bravery in combat and dedication to the mission. However, specific missions such as kidnapping, and blind assassinations, would be best if avoided. They are still young and ideological. It would be best if we would deter them from the path of truth, for they are the true future of Konoha. We also require a larger medical staff, since were expecting recruitment after the next gennin exam.

Sincerely

Shadow Hunter Comander Sarutobi Asuma

The Hokage sighed, smiling slightly hopeful and glad for the future of his beloved village,

and his godson Naruto. "Arashi, you would be proud of your son if you had seen him this day." He said quietly.

Knowing that the organization needed medical teams, three of Konoha's best doctors and fifteen staff members were assimilated as personnel and trained in the use of Vigoorian medical technology to aid Cell Thirteen with their missions. They were shocked, but the shock was quickly replaced by pride when they found out that Shadow Hunters were the best in the field. To be a Shadow Hunter or a member of its personnel, you had to be the best of the best.

Plans were quickly made to increase the numbers Shadow Hunters. And recruitment was scheduled to be the week after the Gennin exam………..

To Be Continued……………………………..

Author notes: I know it's a little rushed and consists mostly of descriptions. But The first two chapters I wrote are only meant to set up the plot and create a backround for the Three major characters. I've made a lot of changes to the original naruto plot because I wanted my story to be a little different from the other two narutoxninja Geiden crossovers out there. And yes Naruto's Persona is different because he was raised in another world. The Idea of Project Shadow hunter came when Playing splinter cell. They will use guns, and other stuff because the project is a new organization that I created to specifically for this story. Don't worry though, they will also use Ninpos, Jutsus, and other Ninja techniques and weapons, Its just that I want to make this an action adventure that's would be cool if you'd read. And if your wondering about Hinabi, and Hinata, they will play more prominent roles in later chapters along with other naruto characters. Sasuke and the of the cast will come in to play in chapter two. They will graduate a year after Naruto's team.

Romance Parings are still undecided, and I am open to suggestions, as you know THIS STORY WILL NOT BE YAOI. Oh yeah, Itachi and the Akatsuki are a little different in this story. I will create new enemies, and Sasuke will still be a bastard. He will learn his lesson though.

PS. Enjoy the story and don't forget to review. Oh yeah Chichi is Japanese for nipples.

Next up: New Recruits, New Mission and Mizuki's Betrayal: Shadow Hunters Rise to the challenge.

See you next time.
