Hello Kitties
THank you all for all the follows, reviews, as well as favorites.
I do not own Naruto or Tenchi Muyo or anyone else who appears within the story. The only thing I own is the insanity in my mind.
I know it has been a slow update and I am grateful everyone still enjoys my story/stories.
Chapter 17
Naruto woke up a little early. Nothing like his normal waking at 4am to begin his normal train. No he woke up at 7am as he had to be at the Academy at 9am for the beginning of the exam. The time had flown by since he had broken away from Team 7, as well as away from Kakashi. As the man wasn't qualified to even be a sensei of a Genin Team. Let alone a Shinobi as his mental state isn't in the right place. Something he had spoken to his Grandmothers as well as his Great Grandmother about.
Flashback no Jutsu
Naruto walks into the kitchen when he spotted his three Grandmothers sitting around the table having tea. Ryoko looked up at him with a smile on her face. "Hey brat." She greets him.
"Hey Grandma." Said Naruto with a grin on his face. Slowly it shifts into a frown. For it had only been a day since he hadn't been part of Team 7 anymore.
Tsunami frowns as she notices his shift in mood. "What's wrong sweetie?" She questions him as she stands from her chair. Slowly walking towards him. Placing her hands on his shoulder. She leans down slightly to meet his eyes. "Tell me what is weighing heavy on your mind." She tells him, guiding him towards one of the kitchen table chairs. Settling him between Washu and Ryoko. As they had also given him worried looks.
After being seated. He looks up at the three in the kitchen with him. "The members of Team 7 need to have some serious physiological help." He tells them all.
Washu presses her lips together, frowning. "What has drawn you to this conclusion?" She questions him.
He lets out a heavy sigh. "It is because of how Kakashi is never there to train, not even lift a finger to even bother to teach us. Only when it came to him being threatened by Grandma Ryoko did he get off his ass." He tells them, closing his eyes, letting his head fall onto the table. "As well he spends hours before the memorial stone. Staring at three names. His fingers are always tracing them. As I had noticed those three names have been weathered more than the others. There are other days he will trace a forth one. All he ever does when it comes to any training he wishes to do or even bother with is "Team Work". To be honest. His mental state isn't any better than Sasuke or Sakura." He tells them with him raising his head off of the table meeting their eyes. His frown only deepened.
Now Ryoko presses a finger to her lips thinking about what has happened over the time since she had met Kakashi. How the man had disappointed her and annoyed her even more. "He hasn't been in the right mental space since we came to this village. It appears everyone has overlooked his mental state for the goals of all the missions he had been forced to take. Never allowed to heal. For I had looked over his file before I had taken over Naru-chan's training." She said as now this had the two other women looking at her as Naruto's head had once more hit the table. He had turned it sideways to look at her with wonder in his eyes.
"What did you find in his file? For I hadn't been able to review it so far. As I have been going through all the Shinobi from the oldest and making my way down." Said Tsunami with a frown on her pretty face as her pinkest eyes hold worry in them.
"I know Kakashi was my father's student. I also know that my father had taken over caring for Kakashi as his father killed himself." Said Naruto looking at the others.
"How do you know all of this?" Questions Ryoko. As she has forgotten about the living chakra beast living in her Grandson's gut/mindscape.
Naruto blinks at her slowly several times. "Ummm….fuzzy bunny-fox in my gut." He tells her.
"Hey brat. I am not a Kami-saking bunny." Growls out Kurama annoyed with the boy.
'Yeah…yeah..sorry fuzzy.' Naruto replied mentally with a chuckle.
The three women watch the silver/blonde boy space out for a moment, knowing very well that he was speaking with the fox.
Blinking several times he smiles sheepishly at the three. "Okay. Sorry. He was very mad at me for calling him a bunny-fox." He said, still smiling sheepishly.
"So are you going to tell us about Sasuke and Sakura?" Questions Washu as she watches her grandson carefully.
"Yeah. I'll begin with Sasuke. He has an ego that is larger than Hokage mountain. As well he believes that he is able to work on his own and that anyone else within the team is just cannon faber. For him to use them as stepping stones for him to reach his own personal goals. What goals do you ask? Well his personal goal of killing his brother and rebuilding his clan. With his brother out of the way. No one will be able to stop him from becoming the head of the Uchiha clan and he would feel safe to do as he wishes. For all his faults are to be blamed on his brother. For it was his fault for the shit hand he had been given." Said Naruto looking at them all.
Washu and Tsunami frown looking at each other. As this isn't the mindset a shinobi should have. "Well he needs to get the fuck over himself." Growls out Ryoko as she is growing tired of the spoiled little brat.
"Also what's to say he wouldn't find someone else for all his shortcomings." Said Washu as she crossed her arms over her chest watching the boy sitting next to her.
Naruto meets eyes with her. "Nothing. Sasuke believes the world will bend to him. If he doesn't get his way. He will kill them. I already know I am on that list of people who he wishes to murder. To use as his stepping stone to be able to kill Itachi." He told them as his head met the table once more.
"I will have Kakashi and Sasuke to have an evaluation on their mental states." Said Tsunami with another frown marrying her face.
"Now with Sakura. She is living in a fantasy world believing Sasuke will save her if she is in danger. As well she has dual personalities. I have seen it several times as if another person has taken over her body and her becoming a whole new person. Something I know has gone unnoticed by many people. Well Ino and Shikamaru and I also believe Shino has seen it happen. As well she has anger issues to the point she believes that violence will solve all her problems without taking respablites for her shitty actions. She is book smart. She isn't street smart. I do believe on her first higher rank mission she will go on in the future with Sasuke and Kakashi with their unknown new member. She will not fare well and only three things await her. Sadly I do believe death would be the best outcome for her." Said Naruto as he breathes into the table as he bangs his forehead on the table once more.
All three women share a look. "Well do not worry about this. It shall be handled." Said Washu as her computer appeared before her. She begins typing away. Pulling up three files on three shinobi. Putting them on medical leave from all missions. Will not be allowed to return to active duty until Washu signs off on all their reviews.
End of Flashback no jutsu
Shaking his head from the memory he glances at his clock. It was now time for him to leave the house and head out to the academy to take the next step towards his shinobi career.
Picking up his duster he slips it over his shoulders moving towards the front door. To return once the exams are over. Well the first two stages of the exams. As he had done his research on past exams in the Hidden Leaf. They haven't changed in years. So he felt he knew he would return home in about a week's time. Making sure he had his scrolls with camping supplies as well as food. He left and headed towards the village.
After several minutes walking down the dirt road towards the Academy a frown slowly crosses his lips. Making him groan at the sight standing before him. Something that just made him want to just take the two awaiting for him to their death. A swift and quick death. To end the future drama they might bring down upon the village. Standing before him are Sasuke and Sakura.
"What are you doing here?" Questions Naruto as he stops before the two fools standing at the gates.
Sasuke snares at the silver blonde standing before him. "We are here to take part in the Chunin Exams." He growls out as the boy glares at him with pure hatred in his coal colored eyes.
"What Sasuke-kun said. We are here to take part and move up in Ranking." Said Sakura looking like a love sick toad awaiting a large fly to land in her wide open mouth.
Naruto snorts at them. "How are you going to take part. There are only two of you. Last I heard. There still isn't a third member of Team 7. Only leaving you two fools." He told them as he figured it was a waste of his time to even bother with them now. For he had an exam to take. For Team 7 was the last of his worries. For he was no longer part of their team and he would not give them another second of his time. For they have already wasted several months of his time with their pointless fighting and never wanted to take part and train to become true shinobi's. He moves past them. Waking up to the closed gates of the Academy with two Jonins awaiting the test takes to come.
"You will not ignore me. You will bow to my wishes and know your place. As you are just a waste of space I need to take part in the Chunin Exams. For you are just as worthless as Sakura." Growls out Sasuke as his hands go through hand signs to send his fireball attack towards the back of his former teammate.
Flames escape his lips as Naruto looks over his shoulder towards the attack which is flying towards his turn back. Of someone that shouldn't even be seen as a Shinobi. Of someone that belongs in the mental ward. Where he would finally get the aid he needs from the turama he had endured as a child.
A wall of green flames come up from the ground surrounding the silver blonde. Naruto's eyes are hardening as he spins on his heel. As he moves towards his former teammate. "You shouldn't even be a Shinobi. Where you belong is in a Mental Ward or in Prison. As you have finally done it. You have attacked a shinobi of this village. As you are not getting your way. You are just a spoiled child. A child that needs his ass beaten. For these actions only proves me right. That you are not mental stable to even think about living this lifestyle. You should just be a civilian. A civilian worrying about rebuilding the stain of a Clan that had planned to overthrow the village. A clan that didn't care if they killed any civilians or shinobi of this village to get what they wanted. What they have proven to be unworthy of. For the only thing is your father and his elders and other fools willing to follow him. To take over our village and homes. Making all that live in this village into their slaves." He growls out. His voice slowly rose. Making all around them stop and listen with horror on their faces.
"My father should have had his way. He should have taken over this fucking village full of worthless bastard. For all of this village is not worth standing before the Uchiha clan. They are just worthy of just being our stepping stones. To die when we order them to." Growls out Sasuke as his coal eyes took on a crazed look within them.
Gasps and murmurs are heard from the civilians and shinobi as well as others that wish to take part in the Chunin Exams look upon the three standing before the locked gates. The two Jonins call over their headsets for ANBU or anyone to come and take the only two members of Team 7 away. What appeared before them was a pissed off Ibiki. As he had been standing in the courtyard. He had just heard everything the two heard. Anger flowing through his veins. For he had remembered hearing rumors. Now with hearing this once more and the Uchiha saw his father's path was right. Made him want to kill the final Uchiha where he stands.
"Genin Uchiha." Growls out Ibiki. The man looked like death himself standing before Sasuke.
"What the fuck do you wanted you lowly piece of shit." Hisses out Sasuke as he looks up at the man standing before him.
Before anyone knew what had just happened. Sasuke is sent sailing into the stone wall next to the iron gates of the Academy. Blood flowing down the side of his mouth. Sakura shrinks at the Jonin at what he had done to her Sasuke-kun. Before the pinkette could even think or blink a snake wrapped around her right leg biting into her flesh. Making the girl scream once more before she passes out. As another snake appears before Sasuke biting into his own flesh as he had tried to attack the man with the same fireball attack that he used on her former teammate.
Ibiki looks down at Naruto. Naruto looks back up at him. His eyes never leave the man's gaze. "What I had just told Sasuke is true. For I was there that night. They had me bound to a chair in their shrine. Well the sub basement. Where they had been making their plans to overthrow the Hokage and take over our home. I also have the scrolls. If you wish, I can send a shadow clone to bring them to you." He told the man standing before him.
Ibiki grunts, nodding his head as he watches a shadow clone come to life next to the boy without any hand seals.
"Once the first part of the Exams are over. My clone will take you to the old Uchiha district. To the shrine and show you where they had me bound. Where they had planned to rip out a part of me. Ending my life to use it once more against the village. For what I had found within their documents. It was an Uchiha that had attacked the village the night I was born. The night I had lost everything only being a few hours old." Said Naruto as a dark aura surrounds him. The arua takes on the form of a nine-tail fox with his teeth baring at the thing now being bound by three ANBU and a smirking Anko.
"I shall speak with your clone about the subject some more. Once we are done with this first part I would like to speak to you before the second part takes place." Said Ibiki and Anko listen on from the sidelines. Letting the woman know it would be a moment before she would be allowed to begin the second part. For she knew deep down that the silver blonde would be making it to the second part. Hell if she placed her bets now. He would be making it to the finals of the Exam and maybe even becoming a Chunin. She just smirks to herself thinking of how much she is planning to place on the boy once she heads to the Jonin lounge to await her time to lead the brats to her little playground.
Ibiki turns to the two Jonin. "Allow the boy in. It will just be himself. As he is no longer part of Team 7. For I believe today is the last day of there ever being a Team 7 until the next batch of Genin Graduate from the Academy.
Sadly the snake or his little pet hadn't seen what had happened. They both had already entered the Academy. To lay in wait for their prize. A prize that would never enter the build. A prize that will be held within the deepest pits of the village. Where only Washu is able to enter. Where those that will wish to speak to the two would need the woman to enter. For they had a sinking feeling something wicked is coming to the peaceful village. Unknown to the darkness that looms over the village. Two Goddess lurk in those shadows as well just awaiting a time to strike and take those out that threaten the safety of those they have sworn to protect. For there is only one person that would do this for. For he still cared for the village that made his life hell. That had already taken so much from him. Still he stands strong to protect the fools that had never seen him as a human. As a thing that had killed those that they had once loved.
Washu appears before the ANBU as well as Anko. "It is time to take them to my special holding cells." His bright green eyes moved towards Ibiki. "Once you are done with everything. Have Lady Hokage call me and I shall take you to your new playthings." She told him with a large smirk on her face.
WIth another grunt Ibiki nods his head and spins on his own heels heading back into the building. He had to get ready for the first stage. To release his anger on those that believe they belong in the ranks of Chunin.
With that said and done. Those that are to take part in the exams lineup before the Jonin Guards and show them their paperwork as well as their Shinobi ID's.
Off in the shadows a dark skin man with blonde hair stands leaning against a building watching what had just gone down. 'It does appear that the boy has become one with the nine-tails.' He thinks to himself.
"For my brother to show within the boy's Aura. He has gained his favor and nothing and no one will get in their way. Never even us."Said the dark voice within the man's mind.
'Do believe you are right. I pity the fools who even think about trying.' His final thoughts to the beast were sealed deep within him as he pushed off the wall and stepped out of the shadows to show a man dressed all in white with a cloud shinobi headband on his forehead. It was time for him to join the other Jonins to watch over their students. Maybe even join in on a few of the betting pools. For the message he would be sending his brother tonight will be having the man joining him to watch the finals in person.
It has begun. Will Orochimaru claim his prize during the next stage of the exams or will he just slink away like the snake he is. For he has lost another chance to claim what he believes belongs to him? Or will he try to go after the lost Prince to claim what the boy's family is known for? Only time will tell. I do hope you all enjoy this latest Chapter. I have spent a couple of days on it. Making me write it several times and I am glad with what has just happened in this latest Chapter. Do not worry. You all will see what will happen to Sasuke and Sakura. It does leave me with one final thought though. Will the Uchiha clan end with Sasuke? For Itachi may never want to bring back his clan. He may just want the Uchha clan to end here and now. If any do live. They will never be able to rebuild. For they are of watered down of the bloodline and do not have the power to bring them back.
