Chapter 8: Naruto a teacher? Part 2

"TOMOKO! WHERE ARE YOU!" Naruto screamed he felt a sense of urgency, "TOMOKO TELL DADDY WHERE YOU ARE!"

He heard a girl scream in terror.

"Daddy! I'm scared!" squeaked the voice, "I can't find you!"

It was dark; Naruto could barely see his hand in front of his face. He turned wildly, where was Tomoko? Then he saw her, but some how she looked 14 years old, and looming behind her was a tall man with long shaggy brown hair that came down to his knees. The figure looked up he had red fox-like eyes and long fox whiskers coming out of his cheeks. He pulled a hand up and took a very long fingernail; no it was more like a claw and put it to the girl's throat. Naruto froze.

'What's the matter kit? Don't you want to save you precious daughter?' said the demonic voice of Kyuubi. Naruto couldn't move.

'What are you waiting for, kit? She needs you,' taunted the demon.

"Don't you dare touch her!" threatened Naruto, but why wouldn't his legs move!

'You made me pretty angry earlier, your punishment: you lose the one you love!' shouted Kyuubi, and the figure sliced the 14 year old Tomoko's throat and she fell in a heap.

"NO!" Naruto sat up, he was in his bedroom, and he was drenched in cold sweat and breathing heavily.

"What's the matter?" Sakura mumbled next to Naruto.

"Nothing," Naruto answered he looked over at the clock; 5:23, "I need to get going, do you need anything before I go?"

"No, I'll be fine, good luck," mumbled Sakura and she drifted off to sleep.

Later that morning Naruto met team 3 by the same three posts that he was tested by Kakashi 5 years earlier.

"So, what about this test you have planed for us?" asked Takahashi seeing his new teacher. Naruto simply held up two small bells. Team 3 just gave him a blank look.

"What are you driving at?" Ikemoto asked folding his arms looking suspiciously at the bells.

"Simple, you get the bells from me, you pass. If you don't, you get tied to the stump, you don't get any lunch and it's back to the academy," Naruto said tying the bells to his belt, "oh, and if you plan to use weapons, strike as if you mean to kill, or you won't get anywhere."

"But wouldn't that be dangerous?" Takahashi asked worried.

"No, considering my experience to yours, I'd probably be in minimal danger," Naruto answered lazily, then he set a clock, "You have until noon, GO!"

Then the three ninja-in-training disappeared.

'Oh I can't wait to see which one beats your butt,' Kyuubi said excitedly. A vein throbbed in Naruto's forehead.

'W-will you get out of here!' thought Naruto.

'Alright, alright I'll just watch,' Kyuubi said lazily. Just then Naruto heard something behind him; a fist was thrown from one of Naruto's students and he just simply ducked and the student spun wildly. Naruto then caught a foot that was flying at him.

"Lesson one, never put to much force in you punches, it causes you to lose control, which is very poor ninjitsu, Ikemoto," said Naruto letting go of Ikemoto's foot. Ikemoto glared at Naruto. Naruto noticed Ikemoto's eyes dart behind himself then he felt a presence of chakra.

"EARTH STYLE! FOREST LEAF VOLLY!" Naruto heard Takahashi yell. Naruto ducked and a flurry of leaves flew over his head and stuck to the tree in front off him like knives.

"Lesson two Ikemoto, never reveal where your allies are, in the future it could get both you and your comrades killed," said Naruto standing up, then a volley of kunai struck Naruto all over his body and he fell limp to the ground. Then Yumi jumped down from a tree.

"Oh, CRAP! YUMI YOU JUST KILLED A TEACHER!" yelled Takahashi frightened.

"GOOD GOING YUMI! HOW ARE WE GONNA EXPLAIN THIS!" Ikemoto yelled gesturing at a branch stuck with kunai.

"Yeah, how do we explain a dead branch?" Yumi asked sarcastically.

"THAT'S NOT A DEAD BRANCH, THAT'S" yelled Ikemoto then he looked down at the branch; his face dropped, "it's a dead branch."

"He's somewhere around here, but where?" Yumi mumbled she looked around, she then closed her eyes, sight and sound meant nothing to her she felt for vibrations in the air.

"What's she doing?" Ikemoto asked Takahashi.

"I think she's using that ability her father taught her," Takahashi answered; Ikemoto gave him a blank look.

"Shut up, I'm trying to concentrate," Yumi ordered; she was trying to find Naruto by vibrations that even the most sensitive machinery can't detect.

"TAKAHASHI! BEHIND YOU!" Yumi warned but to late Naruto appeared behind Takahashi and hit the center of his back so Takahashi flew 20 feet away.

"OWWWIIIEEE!" yelled Takahashi trying to get up. All of a sudden dark clouds loomed overhead; thunder boomed and lighting flashed; wind rushed and roared, Ikemoto jumped down to help his comrades.

"What are you doing?" Yumi asked surprised to see timid Ikemoto actually taking a stand.

"Yeah, what do you think you're doing, we can't beat this guy, we can't get those bells!" Takahashi yelled over the wind that was whipping at his hair. Naruto advanced on his students.

"You say we can't beat him, but I say if we work together we CAN beat him!" replied Ikemoto. Naruto stopped three feet away from his students.

"YOU!" Naruto boomed pointing at Ikemoto; Ikemoto started trembling, "BECAUSE OF YOU-,"

Then just as fast as the storm came it disappeared, "we don't need to continue with this activity, you all pass. I'm going home, meet me at the missions center and we'll begin our first duties as an official shinobi," Naruto said and he turned and started to walk away.

"WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?" yelled Takahashi confused, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" he asked Ikemoto who shrugged his shoulders.
