Chapter Two: Teams and Extremes
"Naruto-kun! Wake up! You're going to make us late for the meeting!" screamed an over-enthusiastic Hanabi as her sister stood blushing next to her. When Naruto didn't respond, Hanabi jumped on top of him who quickly disappeared in a puff of smoke. Both girls looked started when they realized it was a shadow clone. They didn't think he could make any bunshins.
They were about to leave and find and kill Naruto when they saw a note on his table. Went to meeting. Hurry up slowpokes, the note said. In a fury, Hanabi flew out the door yelling back at Hinata, "I'm going to kill Naruto-kun!" Hinata just sighed and ran after her.
When Hinata arrived at the meeting ten minutes later, she found Hanabi sitting next to Naruto quickly glancing between him and a spot on her desk. She was wondering what was wrong with Hanabi, and why Naruto wasn't hurt, when it hit her. Hanabi liked Naruto like she did. Great, Hinata thought, I have competition for Naruto-kun now. Sadly she sat on the other side of Naruto, except she sat a little closer than usual.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's begin," announced Iruka from the front of the room. Everyone immediately looked attentive, though Sakura and Ino stared at Sasuke (stupid fan girls). "Okay, all of you will be placed in three-person teams with a jounin instructor. I shall announce your teams now." Iruka began naming teams, but Naruto didn't pay attention. He was worried he would be separated from the Hyuugas. Soon his name was called.
"Team six. Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuuga Hinata, and Hyuuga Hanabi," Iruka stated. He had to pause as Hanabi and Naruto jumped up screaming, "Yeah!" Hinata merely smiled at her sister's and her friend's antics. "Team seven," Iruka continued, "Uchiha Sasuke, Alicia," at this a mysterious, brown-haired girl groaned, and again when she heard next name. "And Haruno Sakura." Sakura screamed in joy while Inner Sakura said, Yeah! Love prevails!
"Team eight. Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, and Zeke," Iruka announced the next team. Zeke calmly thought, Great, dog boy and bug boy. Atleast bug boy is quiet. Iruka quickly went on, "Team ten. Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chouji. Okay, you have a one hour break till you have to come meet your instructor." Everyone left for lunch.
Three hours later, teams six and seven continued to wait. Hinata had decided to take a nap about an hour earlier and was currently resting on a blushing Naruto. Hanabi stood grumpily nearby. Alicia stood in a corner while Sakura bugged Sasuke. Earlier, Naruto had created a shadow clone to put an eraser in the door because he didn't want to move Hinata. A silver-haired jounin opened the door to be nailed by the eraser. A white-haired man who had entered behind the man began chuckling.
Grumbling about evil kids, the jounin spoke up, "I am Hatake Kakashi, instructor of team seven. This is Jiraiya of the legendary sannin. He will instruct team six." The genin barely heard as they were wondering why Kakashi had a mask over his mouth and nose and a forehead protector over his left eye. "Our teams will work together on missions," Kakashi finished, "Meet us at the team seven training grounds." Kakashi and Jiraiya disappeared.
When they got there, they found only Kakashi. "Umm, Jiraiya-sama had to go gather some data. Anyways, I need to put you guys through a survival test," Kakashi said. He pulled out two bells and attached them to his belt. "Whoever gets a bell by sunset passes. Everyone else goes back to the academy. Begin," Kakashi announced. "Oh, one more thing, you need to try and kill me to stand a chance. Killer intent, yes."
Instantly everyone but Naruto went and hid. "Hey, Naruto, you're supposed to go hide," Kakashi said. Naruto smiled and closed his eyes. When he reopened them the Sharikugan was active and nine clones surrounded Naruto. Everyone on team seven stared in disbelief at naruto's stupidity while the Hyuugas smiled when Naruto disappeared and his clones attacked.
Kakashi quickly defeated the clones while the genins grouped. "Hey, I think I figured out the answer to the test," Naruto said. "Oh yeah dobe, what would that be?" Sasuke stated. "Teamwork. We must work together to get the bells," Naruto replied. Alicia and Hinata nodded in agreement. Sasuke twitched at the thought that he didn't think of it. "Well, do you have a plan genius?" Sasuke smirked at his question. Naruto smiled and told the plan. Slowly, everyone smiled.
Kakashi stood in the middle of the clearing watching the sun lower in the sky. A squirrel ran by with a fox chasing it. A raven dived at a nearby rabbit. A cat and dog went walking by. Kakashi was starting to get worried they gave up so easily. No later than he had these thoughts when a wolf jumped out and attacked him. Following the wolf were the fox, cat, dog, and squirrel. They stopped him from moving temporarily while the raven swooped down and stole the bells.
Then raven then went for a landing in front of Kakashi and morphed into Sasuke. Sasuke smirked as the other creatures ran to him and morphed into their human forms. The fox became Naruto, the wolf became Hinata, the cat became Hanabi, the dog became Alicia, and the squirrel became Sakura. "How come I couldn't sense your guys' chakra like in a henge?" Kakashi asked as blood poured down his body. "And did you have to bite so hard?"
Naruto laughed and gave his foxy grin as he explained. "That was my Creature Transformation no Jutsu. Using it actually makes you the animal. They all learned it pretty fast. It's good for stealth missions. Also, a master of it, like me, can change creatures without going human again," Naruto stated. Kakashi just stared at Naruto. Everyone but Sasuke was smiling, he just seemed satisfied.
"Wow," was all Kakashi could say. He quickly shook his head before stating, "Good teamwork and strategy. I wasn't expecting to be attacked by animals. In fact, most shinobi don't expect it." Hanabi quickly piped up, "Yea, Naruto-kun's plan was great, wasn't it?" Everyone nodded in agreement.
Kakashi's visible eye closed in a smile. "Congratulations! You all pass!" Kakashi announced, "Teams six and seven start missions tomorrow!" Every genin but Hinata and Sasuke began jumping for joy, they looked extremely happy though. All of a sudden, Jiraiya reappeared in a puff of smoke. "Team six," he said. That team just looked at him. Jiraiya sighed. No respect, he thought. "Training here at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Don't be late!" he announced.
While Naruto, Hinata, and Hanabi were walking home after finishing forty bowls of ramen between the three of them (Hinata and Hanabi only had 5 each OO), Naruto was suddenly dragged into his mental…well-lit hallway? It didn't take him long until he noticed Kyuubi in a room a floor down and one room over. That's when he realized the Sharikugan was on. Naruto shrugged and went to Kyuubi.
Before Naruto could speak, Kyuubi spoke up, Kit, I have decided it time to teach you more skills. Gather Hinata and Hanabi and go to a training ground. You shall learn how to summon! With the Kyuubi's maniacal laughter, Naruto returned to the real world. The Hyuugas stood above him worried. Naruto smiled his foxy way and quickly told them to follow him. Off they went to training ground seven.
When they got there Naruto pulled a giant scroll out of his backpack they didn't know he had. "Umm, Naruto-kun, what is that?" Hinata asked while Hanabi eyed the scroll. Naruto smiled and unrolled the scroll. He cut his finger and began writing his name in blood on the scroll as he said, "This is the summoning contract for foxes. Kyuubi said we should sign as many contracts as possible. So please sign in blood like I'm doing." The girls looked startled but did it.
When they were done Naruto had Hinata get out her scroll. She surprisingly pulled it out from the top of her shirt with mutters of "evil Mekei-chan". They all signed that scroll as well. Naruto then told them how to do the summonings. "Okay," Naruto said, "Hanabi, you try first." Hanabi used her still open wound (she doesn't have a demon to heal her) and wiped blood across her palm. She quickly performed seals and slammed her hands on the ground. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)!" Hanabi exclaimed as a small fox appeared. She dismissed it and did the same for the wolf. Hinata did the same thing on her turn.
When it was Naruto's turn, he quickly bit both his thumbs and spread the blood across both of his palms. He did his seals and slammed his hands on the ground. "Kaedama Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Double Summoning Technique)!" Naruto roared. A fox and wolf appeared in puffs of smoke. The girls stared at Naruto as he dismissed his summons. "Girls, we must leave summons as trump cards. No one, not even erosennin may know," Naruto declared. They nodded.
Hinata and Hanabi began to leave as it was getting dark. "Come on Naruto-kun, let's go!" yelled Hanabi. "You guys go on ahead. I'm going to train a little more," Naruto replied. Hanabi was about to go get Naruto when Hinata grabbed her and shook her head. "Okay, Naruto-kun," Hinata said while she dragged Hanabi off. When they were gone, Naruto pulled a katana with the Kyuubi's symbol from his bag. "Let's get crazy," he said.
When Naruto finally got home the Hyuuga girls began yelling (or murmuring in Hinata's case) about him being gone so long. He simply dismissed them and collapsed on the floor/bed. They then sighed and layed down as well. What they failed to notice was that Naruto's normal pupils were now green instead of black. The Sharikugan had evolved.
"Hey, you twerps are late!" yelled the perverted old man, Jiraiya. "Whatever," was the only reply given. From Naruto. Jiraiya visibly sighed. "I'll ignore it this time. I have decided to teach you guys to summon toads," Jiraiya stated. "But…" Hanabi began before she was tackled by her teammates. Of course, she didn't care about Naruto doing it.
Jiraiya coughed causing them to stand up VERY quickly. They were all blushing furiously. The routine for getting a summon thus began again for them. Jiraiya signaled for Naruto to go first. Okay, Naruto thought, Toads. Summon toads. Naruto bit his thumb, spread the blood across his palm, performed the seals, and slammed his hands on the ground. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)," Naruto yelled. A sweatdrop appeared on the side of everyone's head as he summoned a fox. "I said toad, damnit!" Naruto bellowed.
The fox then looked at Naruto and said, "I am a toad. This is just my Kyuubi costume. Toads were having a play on the attack of Konoha." Everyone just stared as the 'fox' became a toad. "So, what did you need?" the toad asked. "Umm, I was just trying toad summoning," Naruto replied. The toad then disappeared.
"Oh, Naruto," Jiraiya said, "I have a feeling you aren't telling me something." Jiraiya was giving Naruto a death glare. Naruto sighed and decided he had to tell Jiraiya. "Well, you see, all three of us learned to summon foxes and wolves last night," Naruto said. "Where did you get contracts for those summons?" Jiraiya asked dangerously. Naruto nodded at Hinata and they pulled out their summoning contracts which they had shrunk with a jutsu.
"I'm guessing your 'friends' gave those to you, right?" Jiraiya asked. They nodded as they put the scrolls away. Jiraiya mentally decided to try and teach Naruto a special jutsu. I mean, his father invented it for Kami's sake, he thought, He might be able to learn it. "Hinata, Hanabi, can you girls go train alone for a bit?" Jiraiya asked. They nodded and moved off.
"So, erosennin, what are you going to teach me?" Naruto eagerly asked. A vein popped out of Jiraiya's head and he hit Naruto. "Stop calling me that, brat. Anyways, I'm going to try and teach you the Rasengan, the fourth Hokage's prized technique," Jiraiya announced. Thus they began training. By the end of training, Naruto still couldn't beat the second stage, popping a rubber ball with chakra.
"Okay guys, your missions begin tomorrow," Jiraiya said, "Meet me at the Hokage's Tower at 8 a.m." Soon the genins were at home and Jiraiya was peeping at the bathhouses (of course). "Hey, Naruto-kun, what was Jiraiya-sensei trying to teach you," Hinata asked as they ate homemade ramen. Naruto finished chewing before replying, "He was trying to teach me the Rasengan." Hinata smiled and created a Rasengan in her hand. Hanabi and Naruto stared at her. They were going to ask her about it when they noticed her vacant expression. Damn Mekei.
Hinata, the wolf-demon said as she paced around the cave. Her bonds were gone from her limbs. Yes, Mekei-chan, Hinata mumbled. I have just come upon the idea that Naruto is the Fourth's son. Could you please tell him for me? I believe he deserves to know, Mekei solemnly asked. Hai, Hinata said as she retreated to reality.
"Ah, Hinata-chan, you're back," stated Naruto when he heard Hinata groan. Hinata sat up as Naruto and Hanabi came over to her. "Naruto-kun, Mekei-chan wanted me to tell you something," Hinata calmy said. Immediately she recited the message. A second after she was done, Naruto had swept the blushing Hinata up and began hugging her. Hanabi looked a bit pissed. After Naruto settled down, life returned to normal.
-----------------Elsewhere----------------
"Alicia, the leader says that your team and the vessels' team will eventually go on a mission to Wave Country. When you go there, you are to meet up with Momino Zabuza and his pet shinobi, Haku. Then you will kill Sasuke and capture the vessels. Then kill Zabuza and Haku and bring the vessels to me," ordered a red-eyed man dressed in complete black. Alicia bowered her head and replied, "Hai, Itachi-sama."
Over the next few weeks, teams six and seven had done a lot of pitiful D Rank missions. Atleast Jiraiya had ordered Naruto to get taijutsu training from Maito Gai. Naruto's speed almost matched Lee's now. Also, team six had completed tree and water walking exercises and had great chakra control. Yet, Naruto was sick of D Rank missions.
Naruto was fuming as his team and Kakashi's team entered the Hokage's Tower for a joint mission. "Ohayo," greeted the shinobi as they entered the mission center. "Ohayo. Today I have decided to give you guys a C Rank mission," the old man Hokage stated as Naruto jumped for joy. "It is an escort mission to Wave Country. Please come in," the Third yelled as an old man drinking sake came in.
"What! They're all a bunch of super brats," the old man said. A look of fury went into Naruto's and Alicia's eyes but quickly disappeared. "Anyways," the man continued, "I am the super bridge construction expert Tazuna. You guys better provide me with super protection as I build my bridge." The genin all remained silent as the deal was made. "Okay guys, meet me and Tazuna tomorrow at 9 a.m. at the main gate. Jiraiya-sama will not accompany us," ordered Kakashi.
The shinobi and Tazuna had left Konoha about an hour earlier after a brief argument between Naruto and Tazuna. Sakura was currently trying to get Sasuke to talk to her. Three of the shinobi's thoughts became serious when they saw a suspicious puddle. Naruto had a hand on his katana (which he now wielded) and was about to speak to Kakashi when two shinobi jumped from the puddle and wrapped spiked chains around Kakashi.
Naruto disappeared as the two shinobi said, "One down." and reappeared in front of Kakashi slashing upwards. "Koutetsu-Hyoumenka Kiritateru no Jutsu (Steel-Breaking Slash Technique)!" Naruto yelled as the chains fell apart. He then threw a kunai at each of the two enemy shinobi and sealed before saying, "Tekkoudan Kunai no Jutsu (Armor-Piercing Kunai Bullet Technique)." The kunai began glowing blue and moved fastly through the enemies' chests. The shinobi dropped dead. Everyone was staring at Naruto with surprise etched on their faces.
Naruto merely sheathed his katana and walked over to the dead bodies. "They're Hidden Mist chuunin," he said. Everyone was still looking at him. Kakashi finally spoke up. "Good job Naruto. Not only did you save me, but you also killed them in a matter of seconds," Kakashi praised Naruto. Kakashi then looked at Tazuna and simply said, "Explain." Tazuna sighed and explained. They took a vote and decided to continue.
The groups finally reached Wave Country and were now walking to Tazuna's house on high alert. "Duck!" Kakashi suddenly yelled. They all ducked as a giant sword flew overtop them and embedded in a tree. When they looked up, a pale Mist jounin was standing on top of the sword. "Leave this guy to me. He is way above your level," Kakashi ordered as the six genin groaned. Kakashi walked towards the man and lifted his forehead protector revealing a sharingan.
"Oh, I'm lucky enough to see the sharingan right away, eh, Copycat Kakashi?" the jounin of the Mist said. Naruto decided to activate his Sharikugan while the Hyuugas activated their byakugans as Kakashi replied with, "Hai, Momino Zabuza, missing-nin of the Mist." Zabuza then attacked but Kakashi and Naruto had already copied the ability and knew it was Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu. Kakashi slashed the clone which became water again as Zabuza appeared behind Kakashi and brought his sword through him turning him into water.
The genin who had surrounded Tazuna watched as the strange battle progressed. Eventually Kakashi was knocked into the water as Zabuza appeared above him and sealed then said, "Mizu Hitoya no Jutsu (Water Prison Technique)!" Naruto copied the ability with no problem. Kakashi sneered from inside the prison. "You can't attack them with me trapped," Kakashi stated. Zabuza merely created a clone and sent it after them. Kakashi cursed.
Naruto drew his katana as the clone approached. "I'll fight this clone. You guys decide on how to get Kakashi free," he said. The others nodded and began conversing as Naruto began sealing. "Doragon Kasai Katana no Jutsu (Dragonfire Blade Technique)," Naruto said as his Katana was engulfed in red fire. He charged forward and slashed at the clone that blocked with his own sword. They continued to strike and block as Kakashi and Zabuza watched them.
All of a sudden, Naruto jumped up and back and threw a kunai yelling, "Doragon Kasai Kunai no Jutsu (Dragonfire Kunai Technique)!" The flaming kunai flew towards the clone that put his sword up. Naruto suddenly made the seal of the tiger and said, "Katon: Doragon Shakuhou no Jutsu (Fire Element: Dragon Release Technique)!" A giant dragon made of fire came from the kunai and evaporated the clone. Naruto landed as Sasuke threw his fuuhma shuriken at Zabuza. Zabuza dodged by jumping over it as Naruto finished a long set of seals. "Katon: Karyu Endan no Jutsu (Fire Element: Flame Dragon Blast Technique)," Naruto spoke as a large blast of fire shot out at Zabuza. Zabuza quickly did a set of one-handed seals and exclaimed, "Suiton: Mizu Shouheki no Jutsu (Water Element: Water Barrier Technique)!"
After the fire died down, Naruto sent two kunai towards Zabuza and sealed. "Tekkoudan Kunai no Jutsu (Armor-Piercing Kunai Bullet Technique)," he said. Zabuza was barely able to dodge, but he was forced to release Kakashi. The genin began cheering. Naruto was fuming because he missed copying the Water Barrier no Jutsu. Kakashi then made a complete monkey of himself with his sharingan.
Kakashi and Zabuza were performing a large set of hand seals after the Suiryuudan no Jutsu's failed. Naruto of course copied the skills. Zabuza froze up before the last seal, allowing time for Kakashi to finish it. "Suiton: Mizu Bakuha no Jutsu (Water Element: Water Explosion no Jutsu)!" Kakashi yelled. Naruto blinked as he copied it. It was finally over as Zabuza was nearly knocked out from the technique.
Kakashi was about to kill Zabuza when two needles hit him in the side of the neck. Kakashi quickly checked and said he was dead. Suddenly, a hunter-nin appeared beside Zabuza. "Thank you for you help," the stranger stated before disappearing with Zabuza. "Well, that was weird," Naruto said. Everyone silently agreed. Kakashi went to walk and suddenly passed out. "Kakashi-sensei!" someone yelled.
Author's Notes: Wow, I got this chapter done almost a week before I said I would. I hope it wasn't too bad. Please vote if you haven't already if I should make Haku a male or female character. Also, most of the techniques that are in English, I made up or don't know the Japanese name to it. Also, you won't find out what the new ability of the Sharikugan is until the next chapter.
Until next time! (Hopefully within two weeks.) Here are the new techniques:
Creature Transformation no Jutsu D Rank
A modified version of the henge which allows the user to turn into an animal. With a little tweaking, you could turn into any other object.
Kaedama Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Double Summoning Technique) S Rank
A form of Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique) that allows a user with multiple summoning contracts to summon two different types of creatures at once.
Koutetsu-Hyoumenka Kiritateru no Jutsu (Steel-Breaking Slash Technique) C Rank
A weapon-based attack used to break opposing enemy weapons. Good speed and chakra control is needed to perform this attack as the momentum of the swing speed and the power of the user's chakra are required to break through the metal.
Tekkoudan Kunai no Jutsu (Armor-Piercing Kunai Bullet Technique) C Rank
A kunai is infused with chakra and thrown at impossible fast speeds to fly right through an opponent and any opponents behind them. It is very hard to dodge and needs a lot of strength to be thrown at the proper speed.

A blade is infused with chakra in the form of flames to create a deadly elemental weapon.
Doragon Kasai Kunai no Jutsu (Dragonfire Kunai Technique) C Rank

A dragon made of fire is released from any dragonfire weapon to cause serious damage to an enemy.
Suiton: Mizu Shouheki no Jutsu (Water Element: Water Barrier Technique) (I'm not sure if this is in the show or not, so I just put it) B Rank
The user either creates or concentrates a sizable amount of water into a solid barrier of water. Mainly used by Mist-nin and Rain-nin in this form or in the Ice Barrier form.
