" She's my Kaa-san"
Tsunade and Tenten were both shocked to hear this, after a few minutes in silence, Tsunade chose to speak.
" Naruto, how do you know who your mother was?"
" Well, Kyuubi-sensei told me after I mastered the Rasengan." he said boredly. ( he already told Tenten about the Kyuubi) He then told the two about his deal with the fox and how Naruto seemed to trust him.
" That's why I need to go to Kiri," he said.
When he was done, Tsunade thought for a while and was about to answer him, when Sasuke, Shino, Shikamaru, and the Sandaime walked into the room. The Third saw Naruto and smiled,
" Ah, Naruto, its good you are here, that means we don't have to look for you." he then looked at Tsunade and nodded. Tsunade looked at the four boys in front of her.
" Aburame Shino, Nara Shikamaru, and Uchiha Sasuke, you three have proven worthy to be promoted to Chuunin level for what you have demonstrated in the Chuunin Exams. Congradulations your three." she said and handed them their greem Chuunin vests. Sasuke smirked when he figured Naruto wasn't promoted. Naruto then yelled,
" Hey, what about me? I won my round in the Chuunin Exams too!" but he stopped yelling when he saw Tsunade smile at him. She then continued,
" Uzumaki Naruto, after talking with the Council, and with Saritobi-sensei, and with everything that had happened in your previous mission, I have decided to give you a rank that hasn't been given in over one hundered years. This rank is higher then Chuunin, but lower then Jounin, like an elite nin." she stopped to let everything sink in. " Uzumaki Naruto, I here by proclaim you as the first Girinin( honorable ninja) in over one hundred years. Congradulations, little brother." Tsunade then threw him a black vest with the Konoha insignia on the bottom left side of the vest. Above the Konoha insignia was the symbol of Fire Country. On the right side of vest, were the outlines of multiple leaves with a silver thread.
Naruto caught the vest with little difficulty, he was too stunned to talk. Tsunade smirked when she saw his face. ' He's finally quiet.' she and Tenten thought at the same time. Thier smirks however didn't last long when Tsunade heard someone yell,
" How could that Dobe get a higher rank then me? I am so much stronger then him, yet I'm only a Chuunin while he is a Girinin? That isn't fair! What did he do that I didn't!" Sasuke yelled.
Tsunade frowned, she knew this was going to come. Sighing, she started to explain. " Because Sasuke, Naruto fought during the Chuunin Exams and beat his opponent with all of his tenketsu sealed, making Hyuuga Neji reveal his two trump cards. I have heard during the Sand/Sound invasion, he summoned numerous Toad summons, save the academy children and instructors, helped the Sandaime, and ward off the remaining Sound nin. And recently on his mission, he mastered an A-rank jutsu, defeated a Jounin level enemy Shinobi, saved three people, and one of those people is now Hokage."
The room was quiet, Tenten was quiet because Naruto hadn't told her yet, but she still was proud of her boyfriend. Shikamaru was pretty shocked when he heard Naruto beat a JOunin level enemy. Shino just look empasive like usual. But Sasuke, Sasuke was fuming. He couldn't beleive that the dobe had beaten a Jounin level shinobi.
' How could that dobe out rank me in power?' Sasuke thought. He then bowed to leave and left the Hokage office. AFter he left, Tsunade looked at Naruto.
" Naruto," she began, " about your request to go to Kiri, " Naruto nodded, " I will allow you to go on two conditions. One, is that Jiraiya goes with you, and two, someone else does to. Understood?" Naruto nodded, already having the second person in mind. Tsunade continued, " good,after you find your next teamate, come back to my office. Dismissed." NAruto and the others then left, but not without a congradulations from Shikamaru and Shino, and a kiss from Tenten.
When they broke the kiss, the weapons mistress smiled at him and said
" That was to congradulate you on your promotion, I will reward you properly for learning an A-rank jutsu and saving Tsunade-hime later on our trip to Kiri." Naruto grinned at that and said,
" Who said I was taking you?" he asked mockingly, Tenten was about to retort but was interupted by another kiss. After they broke apart, Naruto felt something was wrong. All of a sudden, Naruto grabbed Tenten and jumped inot a tree in time to see three kunai embed themselves into the ground the two were on a moment ago. Naruto always gets angry when someone attacks his precious people, and now, someone attacked Tenten. Only one thought was going through his mind. KILL! He turned around and his eyes widened.
There in front of him, with his Sharingan blazing, was none other then Uchiha Sasuke.
" Teme! What the hell do you think you are doing?" Naruto asked, his voice as cold as his eyes were blue. Sasuke just smirked and said,
" Fight me, dobe."
Naruto looked at him in anger and yelled," you attack me and my girlfriend just so I would fight you? Fine, but don't complain when you get your ass beat!" he then looked at Tenten and said, " Ten-chan, go to your house and pack, I'll be over in a few minutes. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Tenten nodded and left, with her, was Naruto's old green and white vest. The blonde then quickly took a stance with his sword drawn. Sasuke quickly folloewd. Then, they jumped at each other, Sasuke yelling, " Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" and shot a giant ball of fire towards Naruto, who simply poofed out of existence. ' Damn, Kage Bunshin' Sasuke thought. He was pulled out of his thoughts when Naruto hit him in the stomach with the tip of his sword handle screaming.
"U!"
Then another Naruto came out of the smoke and kicked him in the face saying, " ZU!"
A third Naruto then gave him an upward slash with the back of his sword, " MA!" and a fourth one, kneeing the Uchiha in the gut yelling " KI!" and the real Naruto spinning like a top with his sword extended outward. He connected with Sasuke's back with the broad side of the blade yelling " Takai Shuuha!(1)"
Naruto then jumped away from the Uchiha, waiting for him to get up. Sasuke stood up and performed three hand seals, and Naruto dropped his gauntlet and did two. Naruto started to hear some chirping noises and Sasuke heard some howling. Shadows covered Naruto's hand while lightning encased Sasuke's. They both charged at the other, one hand, blue and chirping, the other, black and howling madly. The attacks were just about to meet when Kakashi appeared and grabbed them both by the wrists and threw them towards a rock. He wasn't suprised the Sasuke's rock had a huge whole in it, but when he looked at Naruto, his eye went wide. NAruto's boulder was melting right in front of them. Kakashi turned to Naruto and asked, " Naruto, where did you learn that jutsu?"
Naruto smirked and said, " I learned it from my sensei, Kakashi." Kakashi flinched when he heard Naruto call him without the sensei suffix.
" Naruto, I am your sensei, so give me respect. You don't have to call me sensei once you get promoted to Chuunin." at this, he saw that Sasuke flinched and Naruto smirk again.
" Well Kakashi, I did not get Chuunin," Naruto started, he then showed Kakashi the black vest he was wearing, and Kakashi's eye widened in suprise. " I didn't get Chuunin, but I got the rank of Girinin. I'm the first to receive this rank in over a century. I guess I'll see you later." and with that, he left, leaving a suprised Kakashi, and a fuming Sasuke.
