DISCLAIMER: I don't own naruto (can't think of anything funny to add :P)
Today was a special day. I really didn't know why but I didn't eat breakfast for a strange reason anyway I awoke to find myself slepping completely clothed. I tried to remember if I changed before going to sleep but nothing came. I shook my head and headed for the bathroom gathering all my things and entering the bathroom I took a dip in the lake instead of the hot spring which I usually used instead I used the lake. After the bath I thought that I should remodel the bathroom a bit. I walked out of the bathroom drying my hair. I suddenly heard footsteps I looked to the source and saw hikari.
"ohayo hikari!", I greeted gleefully
"oha-", she started greeting and yawning at the same time but that wasn't the reason for her abrupt stop the reason was a bit different. Her eyes bulged as she saw the sight in front of her. "ky-ky-kyuubi you do realize you're um how should I say this eh naked?", she said looking away.
I looked at myself. "guess I am", I confirmed.
"then put some clothes on", she screamed. "HENTAI!", she screamed once again followed by a hit that sent me flying.
five minutes and some bandages later-
"can't a man walk around naked in his own house?", I asked myself as I did my daily stretches while hikari who was dressed in her sleeping outfit still sat at the table drinking coffee.
"not while a lady like me is living with you", she answered strictly as she sipped her coffee
"from that hit I took it was more like a troll", I whispered to myself as I kept on stretching.
"I heard that!", she raged as she I felt her raging fury.
"dear sweet kami have mercy!", I shouted as Hikari layed the smack down on my semi-demonic ass.
"that'll teach you", she said as she dusted her hands leaving me bruised and bleeding on the ground twitching in pain.
"It's time for me to leave", I got out of my hiding place the twitching copy of me on the floor poofed into nonexistence.
"what? you tricked me kyuubi!", I heard hikari scream as I jumped out the window. The wind whistled in my ears as I went through the town like a flash. In less than a minute I was in our designated meeting place. It was a nice little spot well actually a clearing near the edge of a forest. There were three wooden posts on one side and beside them was a lake not exactly big but not exactly small either. From our teacher's display yesterday of his ability to meet on time I doubted he'd show up anytime soon so I started to think of ways to modify jutsus I knew to my tastes for the past years all I've been training in was taijutsu anyways I was thinking up a brainstorm then suddenly inspiration struck. I started to pull up my right sleeve then suddenly.
"come on sasuke-kun!", Sakura tried to coax sasuke to go out with her in her most seductive voice. sasuke spotting me quickened his pace. as he approached me.
"oh no you don't! you have to deal with your fan girls today. I need a break once in a while you know?", I said while I gestured that what I said was final.
"huff", sasuke sighed 'fine', he thought he leaned on a tree, his back to it.
"yo!"
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!", all of us screamed our lungs out. we looked for the source of the voice.
"over here", we looked into the direction of the voice which came from the spot near the posts and found our sensei in all his boring glory. "what were you looking for and more importantly why were you screaming?", he asked bored according to the tone of his voice.
"well we didn't expect you to come this early", I explained with my hands folded across my chest.
"well I'm here now and we will start the training after I lay down the law", he said in a serious tone. "I'll explain the rules...", he started as he took a timer from his vest and set it", you guys must retrieve a few bells from me okay? this must be done before noon or else I will tie the ones who don't get a bell to the post and eat lunch in front of them..", he paused. we all thought the same thing 'so that's why the bastard told us not to eat breakfast'. he continued, "what's more I will fail them and send them back to the academy is that clear?", he finished as he put the timer on a rock. he took out some bells attatched to some rope and tied them to his belt.
"sensei there are only two bells while there are three of us", sakura pointed out confused so was sasuke but I didn't really care. I think sasuke felt the same.
"that is the point. one who doesn't have a bell by noon will face the consequences", he finished. "we start.. NOW!", he shouted. in less than a second all three of us vanished. "hmm... they're better than I thought for me not to even feel their presence", I heard him whisper. he looked around ,"or not", he sweatdropped.
I stood in front of him the wind was strong it felt nice. "shouldn't you be hiding and planning your attack", he asked and advised at the same time.
"shut up! I can still kick your ass without some fancy strategy", I shouted like an idiot on the inside I knew this was completely true but I didn't want them to know my true strength but I wanted to know their capabilities first hand if possible. I went into my attacking position. I bent my knees a bit my hands I raised them so they would be horizontally parallel to my elbows and finally I put my center of gravity to the front. Kakashi raised his eyebrow in confusion. I knew why because there was no taijutsu style that had a stance like that not even in ancient times before humans were born not even demons adapted this stance because they thought it was crude.
"what is that stance and why are you like that?", he asked his visible eye narrowing his form growing tense.
"you'll see soon", I felt that reason come towards me. It was the primality and predatory instincts that kicked in. I had once tried doing proper taijutsu styles but I just couldn't get it. Once I was training on one of it's basic attacks on the training dummy I found that none of my attacks actually caused any damage whatsoever on the dummy I was angry, real angry fine! I was pissed period. I adapted the stance I am using right now and shot forward at speeds that required me to remove the sealing orbs effects. I was surprised at that because last I checked they were still working fine when I punched at the dummy with my right I was even more surprised and on the verge of scared. I hadn't actually thought of punching the dummy. The part I hit was the head area and it was torn apart! I looked at my hands and feet and thought what the hell happened! after some years of practice and experimenting I made it into my taijutsu style I didn't know what to name it yet then but hey as long as it works right? I found out what happened was that my predatory instincts had come in and pushed adrenaline into my system or at least something like adrenaline. I also learned that when I used that stance my predatory instincts just kick in automatically. It was a dangerous style because of the fact the predator in me was in control but I had managed to control it a bit. The good side to this style was #1 only people who had predatory instincts as strong as mine could do it and #2 it could not be predicted.
"hmm..", kakashi was taking something out of his pocket calmly. 'a weapon?', we all thought simultaneously(except for kakashi)
. He pulled the object out. It was...
"a book?", sasuke and sakura wondered. I however like always didn't care I was going easy anyway. I closed my eyes. I heard everything. I felt everything. The wind blowing against my skin. The birds and animals calling. the river gurgling. The leaves rustling. drops of water dripping.
"it's been a minute are you attacking or not?", kakashi asked his eyes on his book. He was annoyed at the development. NOTHING WAS HAPPENING! he decided to attack first but when he looked up he was shocked to say the least. as he was raising his eyes to look at me I had just kicked off the ground. When we were eye level we were face to face.
"HAAA!", I shouted my battle cry as I aimed for his face with a right punch but he dodged. He sidestepped to the right "my" right. "big mistake!", I hollered as I let the momentum carry me and I twisted my body to deliver a heel kick from my left foot. He blocked it with his left hand. "not yet!", I shouted as I saw him loosen up. While my foot still made contact with his left forearm I twisted my body and aimed a stomp like kick to his face with my right foot.
BOOM!
It made contact and kakashi went flying. 'impressive', I thought. I looked on at the form of the object that I kicked flying at high speed towards a tree and as the object made contact the impact was like an explosion and dust was blown up in the air.
"that was impressive naruto", I heard him from behind me I knew he was sitting on top of the rock a couple of meters behind me but I didn't move. I looked straight and saw what I expected splinters and a crater on a tree. "It was very powerful and you surprised me with your speed but it'll take more than just that to beat me", he gloated. I started to walk away slowly. "where are you going?", he asked. I turned my head around and answered simply.
"I need sleep", I walked off to find a place to curl up in and think of a way to end this without using all of my power it didn't matter if they knew of how I really acted but I wanted to keep my strength unknown to anyone if possible.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from what I heard and saw naruto had improved both in skill and stupidity. stupidity for trying to take a jounin head-on. skill for what naruto had done and yet stuidity again for just leaving a battle hanging just for the purpose of sleep. "he I guess it's my turn", I said as I took out two kunai and was getting ready to attack but I had to wait for a chance. I saw him turn around and that's when I moved I threw one kunai at him. He sensed it and turned around as I had expected to dodge it. As I had thrown the kunai I also rushed straight. Since my kunai was aimed towards his left side where the bells were he dodged right putting the bells in front of me 'YES!', I thought.
"shit!", I heard my sensei curse as he used kawarimi no jutsu to escape.
"you nearly got me there", he spoke from behind me. I turned around to see him reading his book once again.
"Since I'm quite sure you won't give me the bells I guess I'll have to test my strength on you", I smirked. I positioned myself to attack. In a flash I threw five shuriken from each hand towards kakashi. He dodged left I charged at him my right aimed for his face. He ducked I then tried to kick him with my left foot. but he back flipped "hm", I smirked confidently. I started to do handseals that were very familiar to me.
"No it's not possible that he has enough chakra for that jutsu", Kakashi stared wide-eyed as he saw me form the seals. He had just landed as I finished and shoutedthe name of my technique.
"KATON: GOKAKKYU NO JUTSU!", I exhaled a large fireball that scorched the earth on which he stood. 'shouldn't have gone overboard. damn now how do I pass without a teacher', I thought.
"good but not good enough sasuke", I heard y teacher drawl out. I turned a full 180 in less than a second but he wasn't there 'where is he?', I thought. Then suddenly the ground rumbled and I heard kakashi shout, "Doton Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu!". Hands shotout of the ground and in a second my whole body was under ground leaving my head out and there I saw was my sensei reading his book again.
"Don't get too cocky or you might end up dead", he drawled out to me then as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. I cursed with the most colorful language I knew even the ones my brother taught me though I never used them because they were reminders of the fact that he was my brother the occasion called and demanded for their use.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was wanderig the forest wondering how my dear sasuke-kun was. Last I saw him he was fighting that lazy teacher of ours. I wonder how he's doing. knowing sasuke he's beating up that lazy teacher right now. I got all excited and sniggered at the thought of sasuke beating their sensei and then she'd ask him out and he'd say yes and that would make her day complete.
"sa...ku... ra...", I heard someone call my name weakly
"who... who is there?", I asked panicing, looking all around me for the source of the voice.
"sakura... it's me sasuke... help", he called out weakly
"where are you?", I called out running towards where I think the voice was coming from. I kept running till I saw sasuke. "sasuke!", I shouted I was running towards him. I could only see his face because he was leaning on a tree. he came into my view completley this time which scared me to death. sasuke was on his knees his right hand holding his left which was cut off at the forearm and blood flowed freely from the wound. he had numerous shuriken and kunai stuck to his back he was also bloody and bruised.
"sakura help...", sasuke weakly reached out for me as he let go of his severed forearm more blood oozed from the wound.
"ahh!", I ran away screaming and scared
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"didn't know she'd be 'that' spineless oh well like that it matters", I shrugged as I continued to read from my lovely little novel.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"!#$&()", I continued to curse. suddenly I stopped since I heard some rustling in the bushes. Sakura bursts out of the bushes and she looks like she just saw a ghost. "SAKURA!", I called out to her. She stopped looked back she looked scared to death. She points at me with a shaking finger.
"sa-sasuke's head AAHHHH!", she foamed at the mouth then fainted. crap this'll be some workout. I started to get my hands free for kawarimi.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had made the decision and it involved getting sakura and sasuke's help crap that's impossible. I whizzed through the forest and reached a clearing where sakura was lying down and sasuke's head was sticking out of the ground. I landed in front of sasuke. "we seem to be getting ahead of ourself aren't we", I said.
"stop saying lame jokes and help me out of here", sasuke snorted bossily.
"uh uh first of all I think that was considered as a bad pun two that is no way to ask for help", I shook my head.
"what do you want dobe?", he narrowed his eyes "to pass or at least be left in peace", I said pacing slowly in front of him
"what has that got to do with me?", he asked not looking up at me.
"I need your help to get those bells", I said. he looked at me suddenly as if I had grown a second head. I looked back and answered his unvoiced question. "If we want those bells we have to make some sacrifices. we have to work together and get them.", sasuke still looked unconvinced. "you saw what happened when I fought kakashi and when you fought him well...", I looked at him and he looked down.
"shut up!", sasuke shouted. I looked at him critically then "fine but under the condition sakura will be the one who won't pass", sasuke spoke.
"that is not in our part to decide sasuke you may as well be a jounin playing god telling which of your genin lives or dies in a real mission", I spoke with full seriousness.
"then I won't cooperate", sasuke simply answered then everything he saw suddenly went black. I walked away in search of our sensei a plan forming in my head.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'now that sakura and sasuke are gone naruto is the only real threat around', I thought back to what the 3rd told me.
"kakashi don't let your guard down against naruto if he wanted he could match blows with you or even beat you!", the 3rd said proudly
I heard some rustling of leaves and I watched as leaves were blown by the wind. My visible eye following the path of a falling leaf as it fell to earth and my gaze fell upon a boy with blonde hair and a serious expression so unlike his goofy demeanor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kakashi-sensei I will be your opponent again", I said as I slowly walked towards his perch on top of one of the wooden posts He surveyed me closely then suddenly spoke.
"where are sasuke and sakura", he asked in monotone.
"resting", I answered with one word
"hm?", kakashi raised his eyebrows at this. "then I guess I'll get serious", he said pulling up his forehead protector that covered his sharingan eye and put his book back in his pocket.
"so you have the sharingan", I muttered the phrase like it meant nothing. 'damn looks like I have to resort to plan B', I thought.
"come naruto show me what you are truly capable of", kakashi taunted me. In his mind he remembered another piece of info about naruto that the 3rd shared. "naruto will only show his true strength when forced.". kakashi vanished. UP! my mind screamed for me to sidestep but damn too late kakashi saw through it and hit me on my right side of my ribcage.
"urhk!", I grimaced in pain I adapted the stance and the feeling came just in time for me to dodge kakashi's blows. "hra!", I threw a punch of my own and it didn't make contact. I knew that would be the result but when he counter attacked by kicking I was able to dodge it.
"Impossible the sharingan can't correctly predict his movements", kakashi whispered to himself. I realized this as well we both charged at the same time and the first to attack was me I punched at him with a right hook but he just weaved past it and sent a blow of his own towards my gut. I caught his punch towards my gut by his wrist. I used my right hand which was behind kakashi's back and held him in a way that indicated that I was going to do a vertical suplex on him which I was the difference rather than lifting the target by the belt my left hand I lifted him by gripping his shoulder area with my right hand which was draped over his neck and lift him with it. The vertical suplex made contact. I rolled on top of him to beat him down while pinning him down but he already performed kawarimi and in his place was a log.
"interesting taijutsu naruto", kakashi voiced out as he stood a couple of meters away facing me his sharingan swirling furiously concentrating on me. He suddenly threw some shuriken and shouted out "Kage Shuriken no Jutsu!", kakashi cried out but before he was even able to start with the handseals I activated my bloodline limit or at least a part of it. the three shurikens thrown at me suddenly became three thousand. I grew tense and suddenly I made familiar handseals. kakashi's eyes grew in shock and before he knew I cried out.
"Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"
A large fireball engulfed the whole place and all the thrown shuriken were incinerated. Kakashi stared wide eyed at what he had seen, I knew how to use that jutsu but only those of the uchiha clan nd those close to them were capable of using fire jutsus what's more I performed the jutsu in a way that surpassed even sasuke's attempt. "Naruto it seems I really underestimated you",kakashi started to gather chakra in his right hand. he formed some seals and the concentration of his chakra in his right hand increased dramatically. "chidori!", he shouted as he charged at me with speeds I had never thought him capable of. In a split second. I made a decision I knew I could not win in my current state so I reached into my pocket and took out the sealing orb to lessen the gravity. but kakashi was already in front of me. He thrust his hand which was enveloped in an eerie blue glow with sparks flying from it and it kept making an annoying 'chi' noise. I blocked the attack with my hand that held the sealing orb. light was everywhere it enveloped both of us and after that I saw kakashi was back where he was standing holding his right forearm breathing heavily. I look at the sealing orb in my hand.
CRACK!
a crack had been made in the sealing orb white against the orbs sleek black surface.
CRACK!
the crack grew larger
KLANG!
The orb shattered sending debris everywhere. Shit! now I had no way of holding my powers at bay and no tools to help me train.
I looked kakashi in the eye and we both knew it was over.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"so kakashi you say the uchiha and the haruno girl passed by working together and they both got bells while naruto kept charging blindly towards but you were able to deter his attempts to take the bells and so he got the punishment of being tied to the post", I summed it all up as I sat in my chair reading kakashi's report.
"hai", kakashi answered standing at attention in front of the hokage's desk.
"hm", I thought it over in my head and said ,"thank you kakashi you are dismissed. as soon as kakashi was out of the range of my chakra sense I spoke. "you can come out now", Naruto suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"so you sensed me old man?", naruto stated more than asked he leaned against a wall.
"yes you've gotten better", I said nodding my head while I still sat in my chair.
"why did you make him pass me?", he questioned roughly.
"cause I know what he said was not true I know you kyuubi your not that dumb", I turned my chair in a full 180 to look at the view accesible to me because of the window door that led to thebalcony overlooking konoha it was dusk so the sun was setting the sky and the town were stained with a beautiful red and orange tinge.
"hmph", he shrugged as he folded his arms across his chest.
"what really happened kyuubi and don't make any changes to the story", I said forcefully
"I engaged kakashi-sensei in a fight and I went back to the forest to rethink my strategies I used my doujutsu(is this right)
to copy sasuke's katon jutsu and kakashi sensei's chidori...", I suddenly interjected
"you copied kakashi's sole original technique the chidori?", I asked incredelously.
"yeah though I didn't know it was that important to him but anyways kakashi beat sasuke and tricked sakura with a genjutsu I tried to form an alliance with sasuke and sakura but that ended in disaster so I engaged kakashi in combat again. he used the chidori against me to drag out my true power-", I interjected yet again.
"he what?", I raged
"don't pop a blood vessel pops anyway I used the sealing orb to block his attack and the orb broke he launched another assault but I just dodged and knocked him out.", He finished.
"you're not yet done", I said as I sensed him moving towards the window to leave.
"I modified there memories so it would look like I was weaker than all of them", with that he vanished. I contemplated on the information I had just recieved and came to a conclusion. uzumaki naruto would pass but the results of the genin test would remain the same.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked home thinking of what to do I had benn made into a genin and nw that I don't have the sealing orb I had to find a new training tool. I kept thinking til I was at my doorstep and went in my apartment.
"tadaima!", I brightly greeted as I entered
"okaeri!", I heard hikari answer from the kitchen as she was getting ready to make dinner. An idea suddenly sparked in my mind.
"Hikari?", I asked going to the kitchen which was a wee bit too small for two people.
"yes?", she answered not taking her eyes off the vegetables she was chopping.
"can you do me a favor?", I asked
"no problem", Hikari smiled at me as she finished chopping the veggies.
"then let's discuss it after dinner", she nodded in agreement and continued getting dinner ready. After dinner and washing up I spoke with her about my favor.
"hikari about the favor", I said
"what is it?", she joined me at the edge of the bed(sitting)
"can you make me some clothes", I closed my eyes imgining what I wanted.
"huh sure I always thought you needed new clothes...", she eyed naruto's prized jumpsuit. "okay so what do you want?", hikari asked excitedly.
"something that covers a lot of my body but not hard to move in. Something that'll make me look dangerous but won't catch lots of attention and as much as possible avoid making a right sleeve", I finished
"I have an idea but I have to take your measurements", she got a tape measure and measured me. when she was measuring my right arm. "k-kyuubi is this the reason you didn't want a right sleeve", she stuttered looking at my right arm.
"yeah it is it's sort of a bloodline so don't tell anyone", I gestured.
"sure", was all she said as she smiled and finished measuring.
"I'm going off to buy the material for your new clothes", hikari started for the door.
"that's not needed", my words stopped her in her tracks.
"what do you mean?", she turned around looking at me questioningly
"this is what I meant" I stepped back a bit and started to focus a huge amount of chakra into my hands. the chakra was violet a mixture of my blue human chakra and my red demonic chakra. at first the chakra formed the outline of a huge square around 4 square meters. then suddenly the chakra filled the gap in the middle the amount of chakra was unbelievable. It was like the chakra of ten kage level nins or even a whole demons worth. The chakra was like a layer then it started to seperate into different layers the layers were seperated by a centimeter of air. the chakra started to solidify and it turned into cloth 5 pieces of 4 square meter. She went and inspected the material.
"This feels nice it's warm and soft and thick it seems stretchable and the it seems like it's hand knit it's wonderful. I can't find any other way of describing this", she said happily as she felt the material.
"I can make clothes but my fashion sense is kinda blurred so you do it. oh yeah you have to use chakra in sewing since any other thing people use to make clothes like needles will just break", I explained
"oh I see this is kinda nice I wish I could have some stuff like this to make my battle gear with", she said looking at the ground.
"then tell me what do you want the cloth to be like", I said smiling.
"huh?", she looked at me confused as she started to put the cloth away.
"I'll make cloth just the way you like it but there is a condition", we both turned into chibi form anime style with me holding my hand up.
"what is it?", she asked stars shining in her eyes.
"can you save it for special occasions it drains a whole hell worth of my chakra and whatever type of energy I can muster to make the stuff", I said as I collapsed and mushroom sighed.
"hmhmhm...", she giggled. "alright I'll take you to bed and I'll give you a massage", she smiled mischievously.
"that would sound nice but the way you said it scares me", I stated as she carried me to bed. thank God nobody saw.
