Author's Notes: And we're back!
Luckily, we were able to get not only lights, but also internet back without two days after Hurricane Delta hit. Which is great, because I was honestly expecting to not have it for at least three to fives days, if not a week. Also very fortunate that hardly any damage happened to the house, and the surrounding areas.
Anyways, last chapter we got to see the fight between Naruto and Omoi with our poor blonde having no idea why Omoi is so pissed at him, which was amusing. Fortunately, our blonde hero had a trick up his sleeve to safely end the match. Not only that, he finally got to meet Mabui and learn exactly why the Kumo swordsman was trying to take his head off.
Now, with the preliminary matches over, what is going to happen over the month break?

Review Corner
12Ookami12 – Mabui's kiss was more of a spur of the moment thing. Though I will say that she is a little jealous that the other girls already have a deep connection with Naruto. So she is a little eager to try and establish a connection of her own.
As for additional girls, no. The list is complete. Those currently listed are all that will be added.
PraetorXyn – Yup, as stated, they are going to be able to rebuild the village with the amount of bricks Hiruzen will be shitting. Especially once Kushina arrives.
UnsanMusho – Yup, and I have a special plan for Tsunade.
Bloodbrother 18 – Fear not, Naruto will have more time with his ladies throughout this chapter. Especially after some certain events happen.
YeagerMeister31 – The fight between Rory and Temari will be interesting, even though it will be mostly because of Rory 'playing with her food', so to speak. Also, the fact that the Berugakure girls have information about the invasion about to happen, allows them to thin the numbers a little by removing combatants.
As for what Naruto will do about Jiraiya, you'll see.
Story Artist – What is Naruto going to be doing with his fiancee's over the month long break?
Sex, lots and lots of sex.
Actually, not really. They will be bonding and training. As for how Naruto will meet Yoruichi, Esdeath, and Pyrrha? Well, I will say that Yoruichi is already in Bergakure, so she will make her appearance when they return, in classic Yoruichi fashion.
Esdeath is currently fighting in the Kirigakure Civil War, and Pyrrha will be making her debut shortly after they return to Berugakure after the Exams.
Mbak Titin – Fear now, I will be completing this story. Though I do have multiple stories going on at once. So, sometimes updating can get a little chaotic. Especially with trying to balance my own responsibilities away from the keyboard.
Harem
Anko, Aqua, Esdeath, Kairi, Koyuki, Mabui, Morgiana, Pyrrha, Rory, Sakura, Xion, and Yoruichi
Remember Me
Chapter 11
The smell of antiseptic and sterilization permeated throughout the hall ways as Naruto made his way through the hospital corridors under a Henge. It was a smell that he had grown to absolutely despise. No doubt due to his constant stays within the building to get 'treated' after one of his countless mob beatings throughout the years. Which had pretty much equated to the doctors or nurses just leaving him on a bed bleeding, and if it was required that they actually treat him, they were not gentle.
'Let's see, room 336, room 336….' He mentally chanted as he looked over the series of doors that he passed by. 'Ah, here it is.'
Finding his destination, the henged jinchuriki slipped into the room. Upon entering, he saw that two others were also in the room. Both on guard due to his sudden entrance, however he quickly put them at ease by dropping his henge.
"Sorry for the scare." Naruto apologized to the two Kumo kunoichi in the room. "The front desk is not usually forthcoming with any information when I ask."
"That is understandable." Mabui replied. "Were you able to visit your friend?"
"I did," The blonde replied. "She's in rough shape because of what her cousin did, but Kurenai-sensei said that she would pull through. How is he?"
"Omoi is stubborn." The silver haired kunoichi sighed. Stepping away from her team mates bed. "But he should be waking up any moment know."
Almost as if on cue, the white haired genin began to stir from his sleep, groaning in protest before his eyes slowly opened. Seeing his two female team mates, he couldn't help but smile, especially at Mabui. However, as soon as his eyes landed on the third person in the room, his face contorted into a deep scowl.
"What is he doing here?" He asked, with no small amount of venom.
"Omoi, what the hell were you thinking?" The silver haired kunoichi demanded as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"What?" Was the white haired genin's intelligent response.
"You were purposely trying to kill Naruto-kun during your match." Mabui stated with a scowl across her face.
"So?" Omoi shrugged, causing the silver haired kunoichi to slightly growl at her team mates lack of empathy.
"So?" Karui questioned, having similar thoughts to her silver haired team mate. "That's all you have to say?"
"Yeah, so what?" Omoi countered, glaring at the blonde in the room. "Would have succeeded to if this bastard didn't use such a cheap tactic with his damn clones."
"And then what?" Mabui demanded. "What did you think was going to happen then? That I was just going to jump into your arms?"
"Not to mention, had you succeeded, Raikage-sama would no doubt have you executed, if not thrown into prison for life." Karui pointed out, causing the young Kumo genin to widen his eyes in horror. "Or did you forget that the primary reason for their betrothal was to secure an alliance between Kumogakure and Berugakure?"
"And that is even if you survived long enough to leave the village." Naruto decided to add his two ryo to the conversation. "Can you imagine what the girls, my other fiances, would do to you had you succeeded in killing me? And need I remind you that one of them is Rory the Reaper."
Hearing the ruby eyed, ravenette's nick name caused a shiver of fear to travel down the poor Kumo boys spine.
"And she isn't even the one you would need to worry about." The blonde continued with a slight chuckle, catching the other three occupants attention. "She may not look it, but Kairi-chan has a hell of a temper, just like my mother."
"Seriously Omoi," Karui sighed. "What the hell is wrong with you. Normally you would come up with countless outlandish out comes for even the smallest of actions, yet when you actually need to consider the consequences, you didn't even think."
For his part, the chastised genin remained silent. His eyes downcast as his team mates berated him for his foolish actions.
"And to be honest Omoi," Mabui began, frowning at what she was about to tell her team mate. "Both Karui-chan and I are strongly considering to have you removed from the team."
"Wha-what?" The dark skinned genin stammered in shock. His eyes snapping towards his two team mates.
"You fully intended to outright kill your opponent during your match." Karui pointed out. "Not because he was a threat to Kumo, or because he was an enemy shinobi. But because you were jealous."
"Not to mention, You've become increasingly obsessed with me. To the point that it is concerning." Mabui added with a frown. "How long before you won't accept 'no' as an answer?"
Omoi paled when he realized what the silver haired kunoichi was implying. Immediately, he wanted to deny he would ever consider such a thing, though he knew it would fall upon deaf ears. Especially with the way he had been acting, if the way both girls were chastising him was any indication. It was then that the dark skinned genin had realized just how much of a jerk he had been acting lately.
"You're right." He sniffled slightly as tears threatened to fall from his eyes. "I've acted like a complete jerk since we've arrived here, and I'm sorry, for what it's worth."
"Listen Omoi-san." Naruto began, as he took a chair next to the young swordsman's bed. "I honestly don't think you're a bad guy."
"How can you say that?" Omoi asked, surprised at the empathy the blonde was giving him. "I tried to kill you!"
"That you did." The blonde chuckled slightly. "But you were also under a lot of emotional stress and desperate to gain the attention and affection of the one you desired. But, I can relate."
Both girls watched on, as the young blonde continued to talk with their team mate. Curious as to what Naruto was talking about.
"I chased after this girl all throughout my time in the academy." Naruto began. "Though where as your object of desire at least viewed you as a friend and comrade to confide in; mine saw me as a means to vent her frustrations out on."
All three of the Kumo genin could only look at the blonde in shock.
"Not to long ago, I got assigned to the same team as her." The blonde continued. "And for the most part, things played out the same way they did in the academy. She would chase after Sasuke, and then vent her frustration out on me when she got rejected. At least until our first mission outside of the mission."
"During that mission, the seals I had placed on me finally broke, allowing me to breath free air once more." He carried on, earning a look of confusion from the dark skinned genin, since both Mabui and Karui had a basic idea of what had happened to the blonde. Seeing this, Naruto decided to explain. "You see, when I was seven, I was kidnapped from my home village by Konoha. They put two seals on me. A memory seal, to repress my existing memories of my mother and friends in Berugakure. They also put a loyalty seal on me to ensure I wouldn't think about turning against the village. Since then, this village has done everything to try and break me, with very, very few people who genuinely care for me."
"Why didn't you just escape after the seals broke?" Karui inquired.
"Short version, I simply didn't have the skills." Naruto sighed, turning towards the dark skinned red head. "Due to the memory seal, and with the way they sabotaged my training and education, I lacked the required skills to escape for long. Also, I couldn't leave Anko-chan behind."
"You mean the proctor from the second exam?" Omoi asked, remembering the eccentric snake mistress.
"Yeah, her and I go way back. She was my first true friend in this cesspool." The blonde chuckled. "She's a lot like me, constantly harassed by the villagers, though they know better then to attack her, though she does have to put up with idiotic perverts that think she is easy."
"Anyways, it was her idea to make our escape during the Chuunin Finales." He continued, earning a look from the three Kumo genin. "That's kind of why I needed to shut you up quickly, before you spouted something that could jeopardize our escape plan."
Omoi looked down, a bit ashamed before a question occurred to him.
"How did you beat me exactly?" He asked. "I know it wasn't just your clones. I could feel my energy being sapped away every time one of them made contact with me."
"The clones were part of it, yes." Naruto conceded. "But the reason you felt your energy being sapped is due to the seals I had on my hands, that transferred to my clones. They are designed to drain a person of their chakra."
Omoi could only gawk at the blonde, before letting out a soft chuckle to himself.
"You really are more then you appear, Naruto-san." He admitted, a little disappointed that not only had he let his own emotions get the better of him, but that he had also under estimated his opponent. In a real battle, it would have cost him more then a simple loss. It would have cost him, and potentially his team mates their lives.
"Naruto-san," Omoi began, looking to the blonde genin. "I am sorry. I am sorry for my actions against you, and by extension, the frustration I have caused those around you."
"You're forgiven." Naruto smiled, extending his hand towards the bed ridden genin.
Smiling at the gesture, Omoi took the blondes hand and gave it a firm shake.
"Anyways, I should go and see how my worthless sensei is going to shrug off my training." Naruto stated as he stood up from the chair he had been sitting in, already having a hunch that Kakashi was going to brush him off for some reason or another. Not that the blonde intended to train with his kidnapper, but he had to keep up appearances.
'You should warn them about the invasion.' Kurama advised.
'Shit, almost forgot about that.' Naruto mentally groaned. 'Thanks Kurama.'
"By the way, be careful during the finals." Naruto informed the trio. "Orochimaru is planning an invasion. So be careful."
"Thank you for warning us, Naruto-kun." Mabui bowed in gratitude. "We'll make sure we are ready."
"Is that when you're going to make your escape?" Omoi inquired.
"There will be a lot of confusion, perfect time to slip away." Naruto stated. "Though, I am worried about those I hold dear. The Ichiruka's, Sakura-chan, and Hinata-chan, mostly."
"We'll make sure their safe, Naruto-san." Omoi stated. "On my honor as a swordsman."
"Thank you, Omoi-san."
With nothing left to say, Naruto bid the trio one final good bye before departing the room to find his supposed sensei.
A Few Minutes Later
"Ah, there you are Naruto." Kakashi beamed as he stood before the blonde genin, his nose buried in his famous orange book. Just behind him, stood the raven haired Uchiha. Arms crossed, with a look of annoyance and a mixture of suspicion, as the boy glared at the silver haired man.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei." Naruto greeted the man with his usual cheerfulness. "So, what are we going to train in to get Teme and I ready for the finals?"
Sasuke grunted at the blondes jab at him, but ignored it none the less. It was a usual greeting between the two of them. Kakashi on the other hand, frowned behind his mask.
"Actually, I will be focusing on Sasuke alone for the month, since he will be facing a far more dangerous opponent then you will be." The silver haired jonin explained, causing Naruto's smile to drop. "However, Hokage-sama has arranged a special tutor for you to train you for the month."
Hearing this, the blondes eyes narrowed slightly as a sinking feeling formed in his gut. No good could come of the old bastard personally hand picking someone to train him for the finals. Especially if it was who the young jinchuriki thought it was, which was very likely, given the scenario. The bastard Kakashi was going to be focusing solely on the 'Last Loyal' Uchiha. His fiances from Berugakure were currently in the village, partaking in the exams, and the old bastard himself would supposedly have his hands tied with organizing the finals. Which only left one person the old monkey would trust to personally over see the blondes training. Jiraiya, the one that designed the memory and loyalty seal that had been placed on him.
'Figures the old bastard would bring in that perverted frog fucker.' Naruto mentally growled. 'No doubt because of the girls being in the village, he wants to keep me away. Hide his sins.'
'We can't let that happen, kit.' Kurama advised. 'Not when we are so close to getting out of here.'
'I know, and I have an idea.' The blonde reassured his companion.
'You're going to use a Blood Clone, aren't you?'
'Yup, buuut….' Naruto mentally grimaced at what he was going to have to do. 'I am going to need to apply the actual memory and loyalty seal on it, so the frog fucker doesn't suspect anything.'
'And with my chakra empowering it, he will think it is the real you.' The fox stated, catching on to what the blonde was planning. 'But, what are YOU going to do while your Blood Clone is 'training' with the pervert?'
'Easy.' Naruto mentally grinned. 'I'm going to be spending time with my hime's in the cabin Anko-chan and I built in the Forest of Death.'
'Oh?' The kitsune grinned teasingly. 'And just what are you going to be doing, alone, with all of your girls, unsupervised in that cabin?'
'Ero-kitsune.' The blonde groaned, before turning his attention back towards Kakashi. "Aww, okay Kakashi-sensei. Do you know who the one that will be training me is?"
"I am not sure." Kakashi lied. "But Hokage-sama thinks very highly of him. He should already be in the village, so I am sure Hokage-sama will be summoning you soon to meet him."
"Well then, guess I better not keep the old man waiting. Later Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto exclaimed and quickly ran off. Leaving the silver haired jonin behind.
"Come on Sasuke, I got some special training for you to help advance your Sharingan further." The masked jonin instructed, earning another grunt from the Uchiha. Though he if was paying attention, he would have noticed the raven haired boy narrow his eyes slightly at him.
Hokage's Office
"I must thank you for arriving on short short notice, Jiraiya." Hiruzen greeted his favored student, as the Toad Sannin entered the office via the window.
"You said it was urgent." The large white haired man stated. "About the weapon."
"Yes." The village leader sighed. "Against all odds, the boy has managed to ascend into the finals for the exams, and his first opponent is one Neji Hyuga. A boy whom had already attempted to kill his own kin in the ring, and will no doubt attempt to kill our weapon. Which puts me in a delicate position."
"Why not just remove the boy from the exams?"
"It would raise too many questions to seemingly remove him for no reason." Hiruzen commented with a frown as he leaned back in his chair. "However, there is another issue. The girls from Berugakure are here, and they are in the finals too."
Hearing this, the mans eyes widened in shock, as well as a hint of fear.
"Have they…." He began to ask.
"So far, he has only had two encounters with them." The Hokage replied, knowing full well what his student was going to ask. "And during both encounters, it appears that neither recognized the other. So that does remove one concern. However, with the girls in the finals…."
"Kushina will be here to watch them." Jiraiya finished, feeling a shiver of dread travel down his spine. If she recognized the boy as her son, then things would go to hell faster then when he gets caught peeking in bath houses. "Are you sure there is no way to remove the weapon from the exams?"
"Not without drawing a lot of unwanted attention." Hiruzen frowned, all the while cursing his luck. "However, I do have a cover story for the boy, that should allay the woman's suspicions about her son. What I need you to do, is to take him out of the village for the month to reduce any chances of Naruto interacting with the girls. Even train him a bit, so he doesn't get himself killed against the Hyuga boy."
"How should I approach the boy?"
"I'll leave that to you." The elder village leader stated. "While he is with you though, make sure those seals are still tight, reinforce them if you have to."
"Understood." Jiraiya nodded before jumping into the window. "Now if you'll excuse me, with so many foreign beauties in one place, I have research to do."
And with that, the perverted Toad Sage was gone, leaving Hiruzen to shake his head at his students antics. Still, as perverted as the man was, he was rather skilled with seals, and the books he produced from his 'research' was a nice bonus.
Half an Hour Later, Hot Springs
"Of course that perverted frog fucker would be here." Naruto grumbled to himself, having just forced himself to have a friendly conversation with the old bastard. However, the blonde stopped cold when he realized a very crucial piece of information. His fiances were in the hot springs right now. This realization caused his blood to boil at the thought of his supposed godfather perving on his girls, again.
Sure enough, a few steps later, he heard the distinctive sound of a perverted giggle, causing Naruto to clench his fist in anger. However, before he allowed his temper to get the better of him, he remembered another, very crucial fact. Not only where his fiances current in the Hot Springs, but so were Konoha's infamous 'Ice Queens'. A sadistic grin spread across his face.
Finding the source of the giggling, he could see the white haired man softly giggling as he jotted down various notes and rough illustrations in his notebook of the girls that were currently enjoying their time within the springs. Grin still on his face, Naruto lifted his leg and with one chakra enhanced kick, sent the perverted Toad Sannin through the wooden wall and straight into the center of a group of extremely armed and very pissed off kunoichi.
Screams of pain and agony erupted from the hot springs, as Naruto made sure to keep his distance, leaning against a tree well away from the hole he had created with the perverts body. The last thing he needed was for the girls who were meting out the perverts just rewards, to turn their attention to him. After a good fifteen minutes had passed, the screams had finally grown silent, and a large group of women had exited the springs, all extremely satisfied with the work they had done.
"Are you the one who pushed that pervert in?" A woman with purple haired inquired, as the group approached the tree Naruto was leaning against, prompting the blonde to turn and meet the group of women. All the woman that addressed him to recognize who it was.
'Naruto Uzumaki, named after Kushina-sama's missing son.' The woman mentally recalled. Though mentally frowned, as what the Hokage had told her, and her ANBU team didn't add up. For some reason, he had wanted the boy to be looked after, but under unusual orders to only prevent anything fatal from happening to the boy. In fact, the old man had removed her from her duty of looking after the boy because she was too good at protecting him.
"Yes." Naruto replied honestly. "I absolutely despise perverts, so when I saw him peeking on you all, I thought it would be best if he was caught in the act, and get his comeuppance."
"Very thoughtful of you, Naruto-san." Aqua smiled as she, and the other girls from her team made their way to the front of the group. "We thank you for defending our honor."
"It was nothing, Aqua-san." The blonde replied with a short bow. "I look forward to seeing you in the finals."
"As do I, Naruto-san." The bluenette replied, before turning to her team. "Come girls, we have to get ready for our month of training."
With a nod, all five of the girls from Berugakure separated from the group, though not before Rory gave the blonde jinchuriki a subtle wink, causing the poor boy to blush slightly. Slowly, each of the women departed, each bidding their thanks to the blonde, though Anko made sure to bury the poor boys head in between her mounds of flesh, much to his embarrassment and Kurenai's frustration before the Genjutsu Mistress pulled the Snake Mistress away, finally leaving just the boy and Jiraiya, whom was whimpering silently in pain.
As it turned out, Rory had clobbered him good with the blunt end of her halberd, no doubt causing blunt force trauma to his genitals. Even worse, Kairi, being the medic that she was, used her chakra scalpels to causing some severe internal damage to the perverts privates as well. Ensuring that should the man would never be able to get it up, ever again. Meanwhile, the rest of the women had pummeled his body into a bloody heap that now lay panting in the shallow waters of the hot springs. And worst of all, at least from the Toad Sannins perspective, Rory had destroyed his notebook with all his research with a Katon jutsu, right in front of him.
"Serves you right, pervert." Naruto commented, as both he and Kurama felt a sense of pride at seeing the bastard of a man in such a condition.
"Ohh," Jiraiya groaned in pain as he weakly crawled his way to the opening in the wall where the blonde stood. "That has got to be one of the worst beatings I have ever received. I can't feel my legs. Why would you do that, gaki?"
"Name's Naruto Uzumaki, and I hate perverts." Naruto shrugged. "Now who the hell are you?"
"So you're the brat sensei wants me to train." The white haired man groaned, shifting into his role effortlessly.
"What do you mean, Sensei?" The blonde inquired, playing his part as the clueless idiot, before his eyes snapped open in shock. "Wait a minute, you're…."
"That's right gaki." Jiraiya painfully grinned. "I am Jiraiya of the Sannin, the Legendary Toad Sage."
Normally, the man would strike various kabuki poses and do an eccentric dance, but currently his body was in too much pain to even breath. However, Naruto merely stared at him with a blank expression.
"How are you suppose to train me?" He finally asked. "I was able to sneak up on you as a mere genin, and you just got your ass kicked by a bunch of naked angry women."
"I was distracted!" The man scowled, though immediately winced in pain.
"Uh huh…."
"Anyways, just be at the front gates in an hour and be backed for a month." Jiraiya instructed between labored breaths as he attempted to stand up, only to fall to the ground once more. "Actually, make that two hours. I'm just going to lie here and catch my breath."
"Whatever you say Pervy-sage." The blonde shrugged and left the man on the ground, groaning in pain.
'Perfect, this will give me plenty of time to prepare.' Naruto thought with a grin and he took off towards his apartment.
Two Hours Later
Naruto huffed in boredom as he waited at the front gates for the perverted hermit to arrive. After nearly a half hour of waiting, the Toad Sannin finally made his appearance, though walking with extreme discomfort. No doubt, still not fully recovered from the injuries the women had meted out.
"Ready to go, gaki?" Jiraiya asked with a slight wince.
"You sure you going to be alright, Pervy-sage?" Naruto frowned, taking in the condition his supposed sensei was in.
"I've had worse." The man tried to shrug it off, though it was clear that the blonde genin was not buying it. "Anyways, let's go gaki, I got a lot I want to teach you."
With that, the two made their way out of the village. Unaware of a lone individual with blue eyes watching them as they departed. A grin on his face. Once they were far enough out of the village, the individual turned and quickly made his way towards the Forest of Death.
Additional Authors Notes: And cut!
I know, a little shorter then I normally do it, but it just felt right to end the chapter here. Next chapter will start off shortly after this before doing a time skip to the finals, and that is when it's really going to hit the fan. What with Kushina AND Tsunade in the village, not to mention, Corvo. Though he will be on a mission of his own.
Anyways, I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter, even if it was mostly just build up with what is to come. I also hope that everyone enjoyed what happened to Jiraiya. The poor man is never going to be the same, and even then, this isn't even the worst that is going to happen to him. Not to mention, there are other hints of something that is going to play a part in future chapters, let me know if you think you know what it is.
