Hello! Thanks again for the amazing reviews. Very exciting. Great stuff.
Naruto's Mangekyo Sharingan won't be awakened until part 2. I want him to stick with the Sharingan for a while. I already know how he'll awaken it and what its abilities will be. FYI, the requirements to awaken it is killing your closest person or guilt of that person's death. That is the reason some sad stuff might happen but he won't awaken the MS. Be patient. It will be worth it.
Kurama won't cooperate with Naruto until the end of part 1 that's for sure. During time skip Naruto will give him another reason to definitely not work with him. You'll see what it is hehehe.
As for Wood Style... I also have something planned. It will make sense how he will acquire it and it won't be by meeting Asura.
The Rinnegan will also come (much later in the story) but it won't be because of Hagoromo. Their relationship will be... difficult.
Enough of the spoilers! I appreciate the recommendations a lot though! Keep them coming!
With that out of the way, enjoy the Chapter!
Naruto just woke up. He was excited for the day to finally become a Genin. No one knew what was coming for him. As for Kakashi's test? Bring it on!
The Uchiha arrived at the training field 7 but as he expected, his teacher was too late.
"Naruto! How was your day?" asked Sakura with her usual excited voice after seeing the redhead.
"Fine," answered Naruto as he looked around the field. 'What is some prank I can pull on him?' thought Naruto holding his chin.
"What crazy stuff are you trying to come up with again?" asked Keigo who was definitely curious. Even though he didn't like the Uchiha, he found his pranks amusing. Especially the one he pulled yesterday on their teacher. Sadly, those feathers went away with a single Shunshin but that doesn't matter.
Bong
"Crazy woman," said Keigo as he held his head after Sakura had punched him.
"Naruto-kun does nothing crazy! He is creative and amazing!" said Sakura yelling.
"Yea yea," replied Keigo annoyed.
Naruto ignored them as he took a few steps away from them. He sneaked as he weaved through quick hand signs that no one would be able to see. He slammed his hands down on the ground. The ground shook and then there was silence. Nothing changed.
"Well, that was anticlimactic. Didn't expect that from the oh-so-great Uchiha," said Keigo earning yet another punch to the head from Sakura.
Naruto just smiled. He created a few Shadow Clones which all dispersed into crows with quick speed.
"Those crows again,"
"Now now Keigo-San. You just wait and enjoy the show. For now, how about we enjoy some breakfast?" asked Naruto as both Sakura and Keigo looked at him curiously.
"B-but Sensei told us-"
"Ah don't listen to whatever that weird hair guy tells you," said Naruto as he opened a scroll and put it on the ground. The scroll had a sealing formula with the Uzumaki symbol in the middle.
POOF
A cloud of smoke appeared as soon as Naruto pressed on it.
"He won't come for another few hours so just enjoy," said Naruto as the two of them dug in.
Needless to say, both of them were impressed by Naruto's excellent cooking. Keigo didn't want to admit but Sakura wouldn't shut up about how great it tasted.
"Good morning-" came a new voice who had just jumped in front of them. As soon as he touched the ground, it crumbled resulting in a huge hole with the newcomer falling in it.
"PFF HAHAHAHA," laughed Naruto while punching his thigh. "How did a Jounin fall for that,"
Sakura and Keigo only held back their laughs as they didn't want to get in trouble.
The newcomer was now climbing the hole while hearing Naruto's annoying laugh. He was covered in dust.
"Naruto..." said the new known as Kakashi.
"I warned you. Come back late again and you'll suffer even more," said Naruto with a smirk.
"Well someone's confident that they'll pass this test today," said Kakashi whose face went from annoyed to bored again after dusting himself off.
"Oh you won't want to fail me," said Naruto with a confident look on his face.
"Is that so? Anyways, this clock over here will set off at noon. Your goal until then is to take one of these two bells. One bell means you pass the test," explained Kakashi.
Naruto was thinking about what he could mean by it.
"But there are three of us," said Sakura as Keigo nodded.
"Well, the one without a bell goes back to the academy. Well, after he's been tied to that tree stump and we've all eaten lunch before this person. So, I'd recommend going with the intent to kill,"
'So evil,' thought the three hopefully soon-to-be Genin.
"But what if we hurt you?" asked Sakura as Naruto snickered.
"Don't worry about that. I'm a Jounin after all. Without further ado. START!" announced Kakashi as Sakura and Keigo jumped away to hide while Naruto just stood there holding his chin.
"Well, a Jounin that fell into a simple trap," said Naruto while he got ready for battle.
'Naruto Uchiha. Lord Third warned me about you. I didn't expect you to already be able to use the abilities you've shown before. You are your father's son, huh?" thought Kakashi smiling even though no one could see that.
Kakashi pulled up a book and started reading.
"Oh, really?" said Naruto annoyed at having his abilities underestimated. "Fine then," he said as he weaved through hand signs. Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu
Naruto inhaled and then exhaled a giant ball of fire that flew at high speeds to its target.
'Fast!' thought Kakashi as he quickly put his book in his holster while jumping away.
The last Uchiha was already high in the air above Kakashi and kicked him down to the ground. The ground crumbled yet again as Kakashi fell in.
'I couldn't even see him!' thought Keigo and Sakura in awe.
A clone appeared next to Naruto as they both weaved hand signs. Fire style: Fireball Jutsu
The original exhaled a giant fireball down at the hole while the clone exhaled wind to power up the fireball. It exploded on impact drying up the air in the hole.
"Are you still going to underestimate me?" asked Naruto as he looked down.
He sensed Kakashi escaping from the ground using the Earth style: Hiding like a Mole Jutsu, so he quickly jumped away.
Kakashi got up breathing heavily as he had barely escaped.
'His kick is heavy and he's fast too. He also planted traps all over the place. Looks like I actually have to try harder,' thought Kakashi as he pulled his headband up revealing his left eye.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" taunted Naruto while staring directly into his eye.
Kakashi smirked under his mask. "Genjutsu: Sharingan," he said but nothing happened. "What?!"
Naruto smirked as his eyes also transformed into the same three tomoe Sharingan. "Your mastery over the Sharingan is pretty good considering you aren't an Uchiha. But..." said Naruto as he chuckled. "It won't work on me,"
Suddenly, another Naruto came from the underground trying to grab to the bells on Kakashi's waist but he was too late as Kakashi jumped up to avoid him.
"Too slow," said Kakashi until his eyes widened.
The redhead stood there holding his hand out as a crow flew to him with bells in its beak.
Kakashi rushed to look at his waist just to see his bells disappear with the wind.
"You already mastered the Sharingan to this level?" asked Kakashi in awe as Naruto just smiled.
"Of course. You know... some Clones here and there. Uzumaki here and a certain Chakra monster there and you get me," said Naruto as Kakashi's eyes widened.
"How strong are you right now?"
"Probably as strong as you maybe even stronger. I only lack experience," said Naruto as Kakashi nodded.
"I see. So what do you plan to do with the bells," asked Kakashi as Sakura and Keigo came out of their hiding places speechless.
"It's pointless but at least I'll show you that I'm willing to work with my teammates," said Naruto as he handed each bell to his teammate.
Keigo and Sakura looked confused while Kakashi just smiled.
xXxXx
Four months quickly go by. Hiruzen and Kakashi were surprised to see that Naruto had actually gotten that strong over the years. Hiruzen later even filled Kakashi in on how much Naruto knows with Naruto's permission.
This resulted in them forming a better relationship and sparring pretty often allowing Naruto to gain combat experience. Because of Naruto's pranks, Kakashi never dared to arrive late for even a second at any meeting that involved Naruto.
Naruto got to know the team better.
Sakura was the same and there was no getting through. She was so blinded by her crush on Naruto that she couldn't be reasoned with.
Keigo was a cheery person but still didn't like Naruto. Still, he had begun opening up more. He didn't like most clan Shinobi because of how prideful they were. Keigo soon realized that Naruto was different. He also realized that to achieve his goal he had to overcome a wall. A wall named Naruto Uchiha.
He didn't slack with his training. He always had to use clones to train his Chakra control. On top of that, he also trained on becoming better with all elemental manipulation. The most important thing he was working on was Fuinjutsu. The Eight Trigrams Sealing Style. He realized that to do anything with the seal in his stomach, he had to have the key. The key that the Sannin currently held in possession.
With that, he was finally done with all the D-rank missions. He was full of them. They were so boring and just couldn't anymore.
"Oh come on. Enough of D-ranks already," yelled Naruto in annoyance to which Kakashi sighed while Keigo and Sakura only nodded.
"Hmm. D-ranks are essential to gather experience with your team. Are you sure you've had enough experience and are ready for a C-rank mission? Kakashi?" asked Hiruzen.
"Hai. Asano Keigo and Haruno Sakura have also proven themselves useful and are ready for a C-rank," said Kakashi while choosing to not pointlessly mention Naruto.
Iruka who also was in the room stayed silent. He couldn't even question Kakashi's decision. Why? Because he couldn't even defeat Naruto himself while he was in the academy. Who knows how strong he had gotten in the past four months? He was also very mature for his age. Well... sometimes...
"Very well. This will be a C-rank escort mission," said Hiruzen as he waved his hand signaling his workers to bring someone in.
Soon after someone did come in. An old man. Drunk. "This is a joke right?" he said with a bottle of liquor in his hand.
Naruto was catching up with Iruka while Keigo and Sakura only looked at the old man in disgust. Kakashi was in the background as always.
The old man only took one look at Naruto and immediately backed up. It even sobered him up. He had a certain aura that he had never ever felt before.
Cough
"Anyway, I'm Tazuna. I'm a bridge builder from the land of waves. You are to escort me to the Land of Waves and make sure that I finish the bridge. Until then I expect you to protect me with your life," he said as Naruto looked at him.
"Tazuna-san, my name is Naruto Uchiha. Rest assured I will protect you and you will finish that bridge," said Naruto with a devilish smirk on his face as he puffed out his chest.
'This brat... I somehow feel reassured. Who is he...?' Thought Tazuna as he also smiled.
The rest of the people in there also smiled at Naruto's promise. Keigo only hid it while Sakura only screamed something about how awesome the Uchiha was.
They were to begin the mission tomorrow morning so they all went to prepare. Naruto already had his stuff ready for missions in his scrolls.
He stood on top of the Hokage mountain.
"Zetsu," he called as almost immediately Zetsu started growing from the ground.
"Hai, Naruto-sama," he answered kneeling down.
"What's the situation in the Land of Waves? I have a bad feeling about it,"
"Currently Gato is secretly in control of the country. He is in control of all the transportation and wealth of the country..."
"That's all I need to know. It makes sense now. I see why the bridge builder is a problem for Gato now and why he's trying to get rid of him. Tell me which Ninja did Gato hire?"
"I'm sorry, Naruto-sama. As I am the only Zetsu under you I can't gather a lot of information around the world," said Zetsu on all fours.
"Don't worry about it. You told me that Obito had a lot of Zetsu, right? How many can you get to a location without Obito realizing?"
"Probably ten or twenty,"
"Good. You go and do that and bring the to a location in the leaf. I'll get them over to our side too,"
"Your wish is my command," said Zetsu as he disappeared into the ground.
"Well, then he probably hired an A-rank Ninja if not an S-rank one. This mission might become troublesome," said Naruto stretching. His devil smile revealed itself once again at the possibility of an exciting battle.
xXxXx
"Everyone is here. Perfect. Let's go," ordered Kakashi as they all started their merry way.
Naruto was walking side-to-side with Tazuna who whispered to him to walk faster. Naruto looked behind them. "I'll have a word with Tazuna over here. Don't catch up too fast," said Naruto as he sped forward to catch up to Tazuna.
"What do you want?" asked Tazuna curiously.
"I know you lied about the mission," said Naruto as Tazuna tensed up.
"What do you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean. Listen, I won't tell my team but they'll find out soon enough. I'll deal with all the fighting anyway,"
"Why...?"
"Honestly? Well for one, I promised you, and two, I'm excited about the enemies that might appear," said Naruto with yet again the same devilish smile and Sharingan blazing.
Tazuna was shaking. He actually felt fear. Cold sweat ran down his face. "I'll be in your care then,"
Naruto nodded and soon they both slowed down to regroup.
Kakashi pulled Naruto behind to talk to him.
"What was that about, Naruto?" asked Kakashi.
"Sensei, I'll be doing all the fighting. Do not interfere," said Naruto in his normal tone yet with his Sharingan active, it created a pressure on Kakashi.
"What do you mean?" asked Kakashi. 'It's as if his personality did a complete 180...'
"Am I speaking some other language today or what? I mean just that. I'll call 'Kakashi' if I actually need help. Understood?"
'Right, Naruto is actually strong and not some Genin. Still, this is pretty risky,' thought Kakashi. "You better not overestimate yourself,"
"Have some trust," said Naruto with a smile as the tomoe in his Sharingan spun.
*a few minutes later*
Suddenly, crows come out of Naruto's body and fly away.
"What was that?" asked Keigo. "Something suspicious is going on with you today,"
"Hahahaha. Don't you worry about it," said Naruto with a gentle smile.
xXxXx
"When should we jump in and attack?"
There were two rouge mist Shinobi sitting on a tree while a crow further away was flying above them with two Sharingan in its eyes.
"Let's wait a while longer," said the other Shinobi. They seemed related. Both looked similar and had a metal arm. One had it in his right arm and the other in his left.
"Why?! we should attack now!"
Suddenly, a bunch of crows joined the crows observing them until they formed a person who fell down behind them.
"You know... you should really listen to your brother," said Naruto as the two rouge Shinobi looked behind them and jumped away.
They both immediately rushed at Naruto without saying a word.
"Tch tch tch. Shouldn't have into my eyes," said Naruto as they both stayed Stuck. Stiff.
"What the fuck do you want?!" he yelled.
"Now now. Tell me who else did Gato hire?" asked Naruto as he put them in another Genjutsu. Genjutsu that made them tremble in fear.
"Y-you... What are you?!" he asked as his legs gave up-
"Hmm... if you are demons then I guess that would make me... the devil? The Devil of Konoha. I like the sound of that," said Naruto letting out a quiet laugh as the two started trembling.
SLASH
Naruto grabbed his tantÅ and slashed his throat in less than a second. Naruto neared the other one as he started kneeling down.
"Tell me... who else did Gato hire?" asked Naruto with a cold voice filled with murderous intent.
"P-please... Z-zabu-za and h-his c-com-panion," he answered as he looked up at Naruto trembling.
"I see. I don't need anything else," said Naruto as the tomoe in his eyes started spinning. 'Let's try if this works on humans'
Nothing
'Gozu or Meizu. Whichever you were... you showed me that I can't make other humans loyal servants as I did with Zetsu,' thought Naruto as he spat.
STAB
Naruto stabbed him in his skull pinning him to the ground. "I guess I can only make a Zetsu my loyal minion," said Naruto in annoyance as he disperse into crows.
Chapter done! Thoughts?
I tried making Naruto a bit more evil. That's only to his enemies but he is ruthless.
I don't really have anything else to say so review review review!
Thank you and cya!
