Author's Note: This came to me after discovering the many different Naruto stories out there that go through their own Chūnin Selection Exams. Each one vastly differs from the rest, and others have a crossover flavor. This is MY version of Naruto's Chūnin Selection Exams Finals... against mostly Neji in different mannerisms. Each one can be considered its own separate little story, exploring the different sides of Naruto in my list of favorites and few chosen selections recommended by friends and fans of my works. Beware however that some of them will sound like crack.
Naruto Uzumaki, Nibantai Third Seat
Kakashi told Naruto Sasuke's opponent was powerful and was imbued the power of the Hyuuga bloodline. Naruto's opponent was Sabaku no Gaara, the Jinchuuriki of Sunagakure. Kakashi knew well that Naruto was a good ninja, but against Gaara he simply wouldn't make it, and dumped him with a certain closet-pervert who was the tutor of Konohamaru. Said close-perv did not bother to help Kakashi in his request and Naruto was left abandoned.
Instead of being upset about it, Naruto instead turned his own back on Kakashi, the hypocrite that he is. Wasn't it that he who abandons his team mates are trash? At this point, Naruto saw his now former sensei as trash. He didn't wish to associate himself with a hypocrite Jōnin-sensei, or be team mates with an abusive pink-haired bitch and a moody little emo who got everything handed to him on a gold platter and was worshipped simply for being a survivor of his psycho brother's killing spree.
He's finally reached his limit of tolerance...
Naruto, why must you remain here?
Because I was ordered to, Kurohime... but soon my assignment will end and then I can abandon this place and return back to the Nibantai (二番隊, Second Division) and reclaim my Third Seat.
Not that anybody knew, but Naruto has been dead for quite some time now. On an official reason, he had died when he was five years old. His soul was taken by a Shinigami that felt his power in this otherwise closed-off boundary. For the next five hundred years, Naruto trained to become a Shinigami, his once burdened soul chained by the demon soul destroyed by his surfacing Zanpakutō spirit (the Kyuubi's death also would forever prevent the resurrection of the Juubi).
And then, as he enjoyed the next several years under the third seat of the Nibantai, his old world ripped a power pulse in the fracture. It was also attracting many Hollows, becoming a Hollow hotspot. Since he was originally from this world, he was specifically chosen to return. So, with a specifically-used Kido that had altered time and history in that world Naruto was never dead, just "missing". But he also had to deal with growing up in a specially-made Gigai that aged while he was in it, to accompany his "living growth".
Don't forget Naruto. The reason for this destructive power is coming from world traits that would affect the Seireitei and the real world of the living... you can't leave until Gaara's dead, along with Orochimaru and the mass that is attracting the hollows.
I just feel bad that the other Jinchuuriki had to die because their sealed demons would transform them into Adjuchas Hollows the more they augment their prisoners' strengths.
Naruto in his Shinigami form hunted down the Jinchuuriki during the period of his supposed "missing status" (before he was found by Konoha-nins that followed the Third Hokage's words to the letter), killed them, and then made sure their demons were exorcised and banished into hell so they wouldn't return as powerful Adjuchas Hollows...
But if they become something just as dangerous as the Arrancars of Aizen's damnable war... it would spell disaster for everyone involved.
Or worse, return as Vasto Lorde-class or even (god forbid) Arrancars, as Kurohime stated. She then closes her thoughts. The eternally sixteen year old Naruto (in the faux body of a thirteen year old) understood however what his soul partner meant.
"I miss Suì-Fēng... rather be with my Little Bee than this dump of a village," he whispers to himself, unaware he was overheard by Kabuto hiding in the shadows of a nearby alley.
The teenager vanished in a blur believing he was alone and no one would see him perform Shunpo. Kabuto saw all that, and left to report what he saw to his master Orochimaru.
It was no secret to those specifically about what Jinchuuriki really meant to the villages whom have them. In the years since Naruto's "disappearance" and the deaths of most Jinchuuriki, these events were causing problems for many people involved in hidden agendas and plots of world domination (Tobi and the Mugen Tsukuyomi jutsu, Danzo and his plans of acquiring all nine "weapons of mass destruction" to control Konoha and dominate all other countries with sheer brutality, upsetting Orochimaru due to the many background distractions).
As of today, only two Jinchuuriki were still alive not yet targeted by what the Bingo Books are calling "The Weapon Killer": Uzumaki Naruto (who nobody knows that he fits the Weapon Killer profile) and Sabaku no Gaara of Sunagakure no Sato. No one of the younger generations within Konoha knew what Naruto was (or used to be until his first death), but that was soon going to change completely. In about a week, Naruto was going to finally return home once he finished his assignment: Kill Gaara, Orochimaru, and the Hollow Bait Force (as the teen coined the incident).
=0=0=
In another world, Naruto would be stupid, have ADD, and have the greatest luck in the world by defeating Hyuuga Neji. But in this one, Neji won because Sasuke was late (as usual, blame Kakashi), and this pissed off many Uchiha worshippers. They would have waited more had the Fire Daimyō demand action be taken under threat of cutting funding to an ignorant village that kisses the ass of some lucky survivor of a massacre (the man had said these words and earned the wrath of the more fanatic Uchiha worshippers thus leading to arrests by his guards and subsequently embarrassing the village as a whole). Kankurō forfeited to Shino (causing more boos and this time throw rotted foods at the puppet user), and Shikamaru forfeited after making Temari run for her money with the "I'm out of chakra" excuse. Lazy moron...
And thus the match that half the people expected to see end on a horrible one-side finally emerged: Naruto versus Gaara. Gaara arrived down to the arena grounds waiting to spill his enemy's blood and devour the flesh into his tainted sand. His eyes stare as a large whirlwind of smoke and leaves exploded in the center. He waited for the wind to die down... instead of Naruto, it was Sasuke looking like a badass MOFO and Kakashi, back to back. More boos. After a short incident (involving an angry Hokage, a mouthy Uchiha when he discovered he was disqualified, and said angry Hokage giving Sasuke the bitch-slap of the century) Naruto walked through the arena doors, clad in his Shinigami wardrobe. He had destroyed his Gigai in secret, thus to the many masses was now looking much older to many eyes.
"Sorry I'm late... I suffered a sudden growth spurt and it was painful as hell, and because my old clothes literally ripped to shreds by my sudden growth I had to go into town naked and buy some new clothes. On my way back here I ran into a cute girl who was masturbating by the open window and well... she invited me in for a ten minute quickie. For making her experience heaven she gave me this nice looking sword and told me to come back again soon... emphases on come."
Gai directed a glare at Kakashi, who was looking real perplexed at the moment.
That's my shtick, he thought.
Many of Naruto's so-called friends couldn't believe what they heard but their eyes didn't deceive them. And Hinata's eyes confirmed that who they saw really was Naruto; the same Naruto who defeated Kiba with a fart to the face during the prelims. Gaara simply glares, eluding some killing intent.
Naruto raised an eyebrow as a taunt. "Wow... you're a grumpy little boy, aren't ya oh sleepless one?"
"Start the match so I can kill him," Gaara muttered quietly.
Naruto smiled.
Genma shrugged, seeing the hitai-ates and started the match before vanishing back to the stands.
"I'll feed on your blood, for mother," Gaara told Naruto.
Naruto's smile turns into a grin.
"I doubt it." He reaches up and yanks off his hitai-ate, before crushing it in his hand. All Konoha-nins seeing that act gaped. "But if I am to fight you Sabaku no Gaara, Jinchuuriki of the One-tailed Demon, then I'm going to fight you under my true colors! I am Naruto Uzumaki of the Nibantai! And I am what the BINGO Books referred to as The Weapon Killer!"
Drawing Kurohime, he vanishes in a Shunpo, only to appear before a shocked Gaara and strike him across the neck. Sand prevented this action but just barely; it retaliated forcing Naruto to Shunpo again to avoid the tendrils of sharp sand-like tentacles. Naruto ignored everything. After this mission, he can go home, forget about this old life of his, and once again hold Suì-Fēng in his arms and give her soft kisses along her neck and shoulder. His exclamation shocked the village, Sarutobi's hand nearly buckled the wood railing of his seat, and behind the hat veil Orochimaru in the Kazekage's face widen considerably. The more hardened ninja veterans of Konoha however had other thoughts. When you declare yourself a person fighting for someone else it was a direct insult; Naruto declaring he was fighting under his "true colors" meant two things in a primary sense: traitor, betrayer.
The sand was powerful under Gaara's might, influenced heavily by the hollow-like demon sealed in his body, but Kurohime was breaking through his defenses.
"Bakudō #1: Sai!"
The sand absorbed the spell, forcing Naruto to evade the spikes of sand again, slicing and cutting through like hot knives through sticks of butter.
"Hadō #31: Shakkahō!"
Naruto fires a ball of red flame, which glasses the impacted zone of Gaara's sand defense. Taking advantage of Gaara's stunned reaction, he Shunpo's forward, and cleaves. The first real cut on Gaara was sealed; Naruto's slash went across the right eye and down the cheek bone ending with a smaller cut into the shoulder. The scream of pain and insanity echoed in the arena, as Naruto simply points his finger aimed for his right shoulder.
"Hadō #4: Byakurai."
A beam of lightning ignites and blasts from his finger and through the flesh, destroying the shoulder and creating a fist-sized gaping hole through the seared wound. It was too much as a blanket of demonic energy pours out like a broken faucet pushing Naruto back like a buffeting force. Orochimaru growled, both angry at what was happening and with salivating glee at the strange and powerful jutsu the Jinchuuriki boy was using; but mostly he was angry at his plans going to crap. It was too soon, but he called for the invasion anyway and kidnaps Sarutobi under a rain of glowing feathers. As Gaara screamed and yelled, Naruto vanished in a Shunpo as hidden shinobi of Suna and Oto burst through and attacked Konoha, just as a powerful barrier of purple surrounded the roof of a nearby building.
"Well, well, well... to think little Naruto isn't what he was," the Kazekage chuckles evilly.
"True," said a voice behind the Hokage. Sarutobi turned around and jumped back as Naruto stood there. Orochimaru glares, before tearing off the Kazekage's face revealing his pale skin and golden eyes. "So, I have a question snake: how many people in this world whom had hidden agendas did I screw up by killing the Jinchuuriki in the Elemental Nations?"
A loud cry is heard as sand builds up in the arena. Naruto ignored the emergence of Shukaku, content with first standing off against the Snake Sannin.
"So, you're not all that there is to be, Naruto-kun. Was everything you displayed a mask? To hide your true intelligence? Was it because of your life, your childhood? Konoha hurt you greatly if I recall because your tenant is the reason for their pain and loss."
"Bakudō #61: Rikujōkōrō!" Naruto replied, thrusting light at Orochimaru. Six beams of light explode from his midsection, and the Snake Sannin discovered to his increasing horror he couldn't move an inch.
Sarutobi stared. Naruto was vastly different. The words still echoed in his heart; Naruto saying h was fighting under his true colors. And the crushing of his hitai-ate was in memory too. "What? What jutsu is this? What did you do?" He had summoned the Monkey King and it transformed into his staff weapon. If Naruto worked for a different village he would have to take him out.
"Yeah, you (bleep)! What the (bleep) did you (bleep)ing do you (bleep, bleep bleeeeep bleep, bleeeeeeeeep)!" cried a mouthy redhead.
"Stand aside old man if you don't want to die. I'm finishing the job you never did several years ago," Naruto coldly told Sarutobi, glaring from him to the attempting-to-struggle Orochimaru, "and then Gaara will be the last to take care of."
Shukaku (Naruto could sense the power rivaled that of a mid-class Menos) was rampaging in the village now, having taken full control of his jailor's body and destroying everything in sight with wind jutsu. ANBU were torn from wanting to save their leader, to going to fight the demon rampaging in their village.
"What?"
"Don't worry, I'll send the dead souls to the afterlife when I'm done with you. Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny! Grow numb and flicker! Disrupt sleep! Crawling queen of iron! Eternally self-destructing doll of mud! Unite! Repulse! Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness! Hadō #90: Kurohitsugi!"
A powerful force of energy unlike anything they ever felt enveloped the roof. A black mass of power warped around, swallowing the Snake Sannin within its eternal darkness before they heard the sounds of slashing swords piercing flesh. The formed black box of unknown energy buckled with spikes protruding from its surface, before Naruto snaps his fingers. The spell was not as powerful as Aizen's use, but for Naruto, it was enough to ensure Orochimaru's death. And the snake indeed was slain on this day when the box vanished in an explosive evaporation revealing his mutilated corpse to the eyes on the roof.
The Sound Four were horrified. Their master was killed.
Sarutobi stared at the untold power... it felt... so alien. Immediately he was defensive as Naruto stared so... apathetically at his old student's dead body.
"If left alone, he would become too much a growing danger. Better to cut the head before the venom could be injected."
The barrier dissolved and the Sound Four fled for their lives, but Naruto captured them with a simple Bakudō spell (Sai). He Shunpo's away, and in the path of Hinata as he deflects the wind jutsu away with another Bakudō spell (which was sent to the mountain destroying the faces on the surface).
"Tim to get serious with you, demon..." Naruto draws his Zanpakutō forth, and holds it level, "Keihai Desaisei (軽灰で再生, Rebirth by Light Ash), Kurohime (黒姫, Black Princess)!" Uzumaki Naruto invokes his Shikai (Initial Release).
A powerful explosion ripples from him as Hinata backed away fast and into Kurenai, Gai, and Kakashi who just arrived along with several other Jōnin and ANBU. The nodaichi grasped tightly begins to fade into a pure black light, before an aura of blood red-orange shatters the blade like water. It whips and swirls, almost globular-like encasing Naruto's entire right forearm and a smaller one around Naruto's left hand. And when the spheres suddenly shatter like glass, Naruto hears the gasps behind him. The transformed state of the weapon resembled Kyuubi's entire head, but nine small fox-like tails sprouted from around the weapon's back end around the paw-shaped elbow guard. Three rib-like bones but made of gold metal cross around the inside area of the buster-shaped weapon, ending with three short spines on the side of the arm. His left hand was glad with a black glove five inches past the wrist, and was tipped with silver fox claws with gold diamond-like points over his knuckles. The glove's guard was made of plated metal.
Shukaku roars but Naruto unleashes a beam of red light, immobilizing the transformed Jinchuuriki. Naruto leaps into the air and "stands" on solid air as he channels more reiryoku to his next spell.
"Bakudō #63: Sajō Sabaku!"
He throws a glowing reshi chain of light forward, wrapping it around the Shukaku like a whip grappling a person. Releasing his hold on the formed energy chain, Naruto moves off to one side, aiming for a less dangerous aim that would inflict less injury to any living people. A ball of spirit energy forms at the mouth of his buster as the Shukaku struggles to free itself, roaring and smashing its tail wildly into the ground and destroying buildings behind it.
A heavy force is felt all of a sudden, and he immediately flickers away as a curved dagger missed its target. Naruto reappeared and glared. THIS was the source of the Hollow forces being attracted like moths to fire. He noticed, with a sad look, the old man Hokage panting and appearing strained; he was the source for the dark malevolent force suddenly appearing armed with the dagger.
"Well, it is you... the child of the man who foolishly believed me to be god when I was summoned by his power. The old human summoned me to devour your soul and the soul of the demon tanuki... I will enjoy this. Tremble before me."
Naruto lifts his gun and fires, burning the so-called God of Death in the mask... face... thing... the cry of pain echoed.
"You are nothing more than a Hollow... how you fooled these humans into believing you a god is beyond my understanding, but I was ordered to destroy the source of the Hollow infestation and attraction. That would be you."
A snap is heard and both Shinigami and Hollow see Shukaku had broken free from the double Bakudō spells. Shukaku roars, as he forms a ball of black with collimating orbs of red, purple, and blue. Bijuu-dama... Naruto glares. A high-level Hollow and a demon hollow hybrid. Bad news, indeed...
"Damn it!" Naruto yelled, backing up slightly. "BANKAI!"
His spiritual pressure increased, weighing down every human in the village (both Konoha and the enemy invaders) as Naruto's Zanpakutō fused with him. He was now clad in armor that fused to his costume, with nine fox tails, and a fox-shaped helmet with a half visor shielding his eyes. The Hollow took this advantage and shocked Sarutobi (who could see the "Death God as the summoner) by lashing out at his fellow ninja with its dagger, slaying many souls. Naruto charged forward with a largely-formed reshi blade, piercing the killer in the face.
"BIJUU-DAMA!" Shukaku roars unleashing it with explosive results.
Both the Hollow and Naruto were enclosed in the explosion which spreads out, destroying part of the village, the tower, and destroyed half of the Hokage Monument and killing even more innocent souls of the civilians that had been evacuated to its sheltered bunkers. The "Death God" reappeared with its face mask broken; revealing that under it was a giant hole through the head hidden under the headdress. It reaches up and tears off the broken bone-like mask and tosses it aside revealing the true skeletal-like facial construct fused to the elegant headdress surrounding the hole through its head. Naruto reappeared, gasping for breath. Part of his Bankai armor showed damage but he was still alive.
"A three-sided fight sucks. One is going to want to kill me and the other is insane and wants to kill everything. Need to deal with the weakest demon first..."
He saw all the dead souls lingering in the world of the living and it twisted at his heart. It saddened him that the demon's attack killed many innocent lives (even if half of them were veteran killers in their profession as ninja). No more screwing around; time to destroy the last demon in this pocket world!
"Bakudō #81: Dankū!" Naruto summons the barrier that stopped the hollow's thrown Cero-shaped dagger.
"Basutā ga Shōtotsu!" Naruto charges Shukaku, and grapples with a formed reshi claw. He unleashes a powerful blast at point-blank destroying the sand head. Then, he forms his blade again. "Now time to vanish forever, demon! Yaburu Akatsuki!" He swings the blade generating a carving blade of spirit energy, slicing at the demon's body until he struck the soul within the corrosive aura of demonic energy. Along with Gaara's soul, it was destroyed and the sand lost its shape and collapses with a wave destroying its surroundings. It left him open to a Cero to the back, smashing him through several buildings as the "God of Death" laughs and charges at Naruto armed with another dagger.
"Jūden Shotto!" The hollow is struck by a powerful ball of energy fired from Naruto who reemerges from the Hyuuga Compound he crashed into. The Hollow is repelled, and growls angrily. Naruto simply held out his hand.
"Hadō #31: Shakkahō!" A ball of red energy is launched like a fireball, followed by another, and another, and another. The net two fireballs were larger in a wider array, and blue. In mid-fire he went to a higher incantation: Sōkatsui. But a burst of spirit pressure floored the fireballs, and forced Naruto to fly back from the wave of energy.
"FOOLISH SHINIGAMI! I WON'T DIE! I WILL REMAIN GOD AND DEVOUR THE FOOLISH WHO SUMMON ME FROM THEIR JUTSU!"
Naruto charges in yelling as he fires another charged shot attack, which is intercepted by a Cero causing an explosion to blanket the battlefield. Another cero as deflated in the smoke and Sarutobi was caught up in the explosion, killing him and his ANBU guards. Naruto was too busy trying to stay alive, fighting against the dagger-wielding Hollow. The teen grimaced as his reshi sword collided again and again with the cero-made dagger. It was like fighting a Vasto Lorde. The Hollow has the advantage of power and size, but while Naruto was smaller in size compared to the monstrous beast he had the speed to keep up.
"Listen to me mighty voice! Flashing thunder of dragon's soul! Light up the path! The heavens shake with terror! Blue Gem! Electrify! Cannon Flash! Seven Rings! Fluid String! Unleash your cries, and ignite the air with the aura of spirit..." The power build-up was almost... surreal... if anyone saw this. "Hadō #88: Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō!" Naruto ends the incantation with firm dedication.
The result was a tremendous blue glow exploding forth in a beam of spirit and electrical energy. When it struck the hollow, a powerful explosion was left in its wake. The hollow screams as the energy tore through his body and his defenses, wiping him out from existence. The hollow was destroyed, and Konoha was in ruins by the battle. Naruto's mission was done with but he knew he would get an earful for allowing this to grow out of control. Still, he performed Konso on the souls he took, several were destroyed when the more panicky souls destroyed their chains of fate (and had transformed into Hollows). Many souls to his disappointment got cast into hell, and only a short handful of souls were sent to heaven.
He took out the memory device and wiped the memories of what happened from the minds of any survivors, and created new memories. The world forgot in an instant the existence of Naruto Uzumaki or the Uzumaki Clan, Orochimaru nearly succeeded in destroying Konoha but in the end Sarutobi sacrificed his life summoning the Shinigami to both slay the Snake Sannin and the rampaging Jinchuuriki of the One Tail. The Nine Tailed Jinchuuriki as far as the world will remember was an Iwa-nin but the Fourth Hokage killed it at the sacrifice of his life. Mission complete... he returns to the Seireitei and forever disappears from this pocket world of the living...
"NARUTO! YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED!"
Apparently they already knew his battle gone out of control with the powerful hollow masquerading as a death god.
"Ow! Suì-Fēng! Let go of my ear!"
Renji was snickering at the sight along with several other Shinigami in the Gotei 13. His angry blushing girlfriend (also his captain) dragged Naruto away to see the Head Captain.
"NO SEX FOR YOU TONIGHT!"
"SUÌ-FĒNG!"
And the laughs by the rest of the Gotei 13 are heard; only Byakuya held his laughs and instead smiles behind his hand.
Hadō #88. Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō (飛竜撃賊震天雷炮, Flying Dragon-Striking Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon) - For such a high-level kidō spell, officially the real incantation is unknown and in manga and anime it was never spoken. Even for someone of Naruto's skill and caliber, he's not that perfect therefore I created that original incantation that I felt sounded okay enough (if only to make it look like Naruto has knowledge of the spell but not on a flawless execution like Tessai Tsukabishi).
