Moving On Part 7 New And Improved
A/N: Hey everyone this story hasn't been updated since March so here it finally is, hope you enjoy it; there is the dreaded Bell Test Again and some NaruIno in there. Naruto is quite powerful now maybe a bit overpowered but oh well I won't make him beat everyone easily. I will say this It won't change to NaruSaku even though it's my fav pairing I'm not sure if I will pair Sakura up with anyone probably not actually. I do admit I made them kind of fall in love very quickly probably way to quickly but oh well.
Jutsu's/Kurama Talking
'Naruto Talking to Kurama/Sakura Talking to Inner Self'
'Inner Thoughts'
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just this story
Naruto and Sakura make their way to training ground 7 it's quite obvious Sakura wants to talk to Naruto but ends up doing nothing. There surprised when they get there to find Kakashi already there waiting for them.
Naruto smirks "Who are you and what have you done with that lazy Sensei we all know."
Sakura giggles "I guess Lady Tsunade's threat scared you so much that you arrived early and not late like per usual."
Kakashi sighs "I'm not that bad you're exaggerating, now as you're here let's get down to business shall we" He pulls out those two damn bells again and Naruto and Sakura inwardly groan "I'm sure you know what this is all about." He then pulls up his headband uncovering the Sharingan "I can't afford to hold back so neither should you."
Sakura quickly pulls out her gloves and puts them on "Let's get down to business things will be different this time Kakashi-Sensei, I'm not the weak little girl anymore as you shall soon see."
Naruto cracks his neck and knuckles "Don't expect me to go easy on you Kakashi-Sensei; he then quickly throws some Shuriken before doing some handsigns Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.) He quickly follows up with more handsigns Katon: Shuriken no Jutsu (Fire Release: Shuriken Technique) quickly turning the Shurikens he summoned earlier into Katon Shurikens. Lastly he goes for a third set of hand signs Fūton: Daitoppa: Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.)
Sakura watches what Naruto just did three quick Jutsu's and so quickly quicker than she's ever done 'Wow, that was amazing.'
Kakashi also watched in shock 'Wow, he wasn't lying; it seems Master Jiraiya wasn't messing around with Naruto all those years away.' Then then remembers the three jutsu's and how close they are to him so he quickly substitutes himself with a log and not a moment too soon.
Kakashi doesn't really have any time to think of a plan as he has to quickly dodge a massive tree heading right for him he then looks at where the tree was and sees Sakura smirking 'Damn, Tsunade taught her that super strength of hers, just great, I guess she's not that weak little girl anymore.'
Naruto looked at Sakura and is shocked but impressed 'Damn that was interesting she's got some strength on her seems Baa-Chan's been working her good, I'm glad.'
Sakura notices that Naruto is watching her and blushes "Lady Tsunade, taught me well, it was hell but worth it."
He just nods and looks around for Kakashi, Sakura notices Kakashi appear behind Naruto and quickly backs away. Naruto's not stupid he already knows Kakashi's behind him he's come a long way since he left five years ago. Kakashi goes to grab Naruto from behind but Naruto grins "Not this time Kakashi-Sensei, BOOM."
Sakura watched as Naruto or the person she thought was Naruto explode. Kakashi saw it coming and quickly gets out of the way of the explosion but he does get slightly singed as he wasn't expecting that from Naruto. Of course Naruto planned for him to dodge and for the next two minutes Kakashi has to keep dodging from explosions all around him as it seems every shuriken were exploding
Kakashi finally has a small reprieve from the explosions 'Damn Naruto knows the Bunshin Daibakuha, I wonder what else he has up his sleeve.' He groan 'Oh come on' He quickly has to dodge Sakura's next attack Ōkashō (Cherry Blossom Impact.)
He quickly dodges that and again not a moment too soon as Sakura's fist crashes into the ground causing the ground to explode into a massive crater.
Kakashi appears behind a tree 'They've both grown so much I'm impressed, although it should have been me, not other people I really did mess up with those two.'
Naruto then goes through some more handsigns of course Kakashi doesn't realise the Naruto's he's watching is actually a clone he switched with the clone during Sakura's insane attack.
Kakashi then looks at Naruto and notices something's off and focuses more on him with the Sharingan then he looks around but quickly finds he can't move he looks to the ground and finds the once normal ground is now mud. As Naruto used the Doton: Yumi Numa (Earth Release: Swamp Of The Underworld)
Kakashi then looks around and Sakura throws a barrage of Kunai attached with bags of small explosive tags and cherry blossom petals to help camouflage the tags, she then throws another Kunai with another explosive tag and it ignites the other explosive tags and they all explode around Kakashi the move is called Sakura Fubuki No Jutsu (Sakura Blizzard Technique.) Kakashi's eyes almost pop out of his skull at the move.
Naruto approaches Sakura "Very Impressive hiding the Tags in the Sakura Petals impressive move."
She grins "Thanks Naruto, you've got skills also."
They then look back where Kakashi was supposed to be and what they see is well what's left of a burnt and destroyed log. They then hear clapping to the side of them "Impressive both of you, you make a dangerous team, but is that all you got, I still have the bells remember."
Kakashi then hears a voice right behind him Rasengan (Spiralling Sphere.)
Sakura watches as the Naruto next to her dispels and she turns back to Kakashi just as he turns into a puddle of water. Mizu Bunshin No Jutsu (Water Clone Technique)
The clone that used the Rasengan then dispels again Kakashi who's hiding behind a tree then has to jump away another jutsu Kaze No Yaiba (Blade Of Wind) cuts straight through the tree he was hiding behind. Kakashi knows that move Kaze No Yaiba (Blade Of Wind.)
As Kakashi stands from dodging Naruto's last attack he has to quickly dodge from Sakura's next attack Tsūtenkyaku (Heavenly Foot Of Pain) Sakura's foot connects where he was standing creating another crater in the ground.
Kakashi is now panting quite heavily he never expected to be dodging so much they've both grown so much it's unbelievable 'They're both insane.'
He then notices Naruto creating another Rasengan but with one hand 'So he can do it one handed now Jiraiya's really been working hard with Naruto.' "The Rasengan won't work Naruto."
Naruto smirks "Who says this is the Rasengan, this is the next stage to the Rasengan only one other person has seen this I must tell you it packs a hell of a kick so just warning you now."
Kakashi, Sakura, Tsunade, and Jiraiya who's seen this movie before watch Naruto do the new movie the Rasengan keeps growing and he lifts it above his head and they can all see Wind Chakra encasing the Rasengan all but Jiraiya are then Shocked when Naruto Shouts Fūton: Rasenshuriken (Wind Release Rasenshuriken) and throws the new Jutsu straight at Kakashi.
Everyone watches as it cuts through several trees before it explodes creating a massive crater in the ground no doubt the whole village would have heard it. Kakashi has been knocked flying because of the explosion as he's still in shock.
Naruto then vanishes from where he was and appears next to Kakashi and grabs the bells Kakashi notices the strange eyes of Naruto before Naruto vanishes again and he crashes into the tree and falls unconscious.
Naruto appears next to Sakura and reaches his arm out to pass her one of the bells but at first she doesn't take it as she's still in shock then she reaches for the bell but notices his eyes are weird like he's wearing makeup or something. "What is wrong with your eyes Naruto."
He turns away from Kakashi's location and looks at her "Sage Mode."
They then look at the destruction from Naruto's RasenShuriken and they both gulp both thinking 'Baa-Chan's/Lady Tsunade's going to be pissed.' Then they hear clapping from behind them and turn around Naruto has cancelled his Sage Mode now so Tsunade doesn't notice they see both Tsunade and Jiraiya there Jiraiya has a massive grin on his face proud of his student and godson.
Tsunade looks around still amazed at half that she saw over the last few minutes "Well done you two you have surpassed my expectations of you" She then looks at Naruto with almost a glare "Don't you ever use that Jutsu in this village again it's a Kinjutsu, just look at what you just did luckily ANBU are keeping everyone away."
Jiraiya then grins "I'm so proud of you my student ended with Sage Mode also."
Tsunade looks shocked then looks at her former teammate then Naruto "He knows Sage Mode, you taught him Sage Mode."
Jiraiya nods "Of course I did."
Naruto chuckles "But I don't have warts on my face unlike you do, face it Pervy Sage, I've surpassed you and better in every way."
Tsunade and Sakura chuckles at that and Jiraiya's sitting on the ground holding his knees with a raincloud above his head bawling his eyes out. Tsunade then grins at Naruto "You never cease to amaze me gaki, I heard what you did during the Chunin exams beating Kiba, Neji a so called Prodigy and a former Rookie of the Year and beating Gaara, by all rights you should have been a Chunin then, but I can guess we know why you didn't stupid brainless council."
"Well Naruto all I have to say is congratulations I am hereby promoting you to Chunin effective immediately." She passes him a scroll "In the scroll is your Chunin vest wear it if you want not everyone does plus there is a Bingo Book congratulations again."
Naruto takes the scroll and places it in his jacket pocket as he does Sakura noticed blood dripping down his hand wondering what happened as far as she knows Naruto never got hurt once, so what could be causing the blood to be there "What's happened to your hand it's bleeding."
Jiraiya sighs "I thought you dealt with that little problem."
Tsunade looks at Jiraiya with a raised eyebrow then Naruto "What problem would this be."
Jiraiya sighs "Doing the RasenShuriken sort of burns and cuts up Naruto's arm but he told me he's dealt with it apparently he lied to me about it."
Naruto just groans not looking forward to the lashing he gets from Tsunade and probably Sakura also. Sakura quickly creates a Chakura no Mesu (Chakra Scalpel) and cuts the clothing covering the arm and sees his Black and bleeding arm at first she looks at the arm in shock and sadness but quickly goes into Medic mode and uses the Shōsen Jutsu (Mystical Palm Technique) Tsunade then notices the arm and glares at Naruto before doing the same as Sakura but not before slapping him on the back of the head. "Definitely don't do that move unless absolutely necessary."
Naruto rolls his eyes "Knowing who's after me it's always going to be a life or death situation."
They both finish healing his arm then out of nowhere Tsunade pulls out a bandage and wraps it around the arm just to be sure. She then tells them they can have the rest of the day off.
Before Sakura can ask Naruto if he wants to get something to eat to celebrate his promotion plus so they can talk she notices that Naruto's already vanished.
Tsunade looks at her apprentice and knows how she's feeling she just wants Naruto's forgiveness she pats her on the shoulder "Give him time Sakura, he'll forgive you eventually, just be patient."
Meanwhile, Naruto's appeared outside The Yamanaka flower shop he looks through the window but notices Ino's not there so he decides to just walk around the village he puts his hood up so nobody notices it's him then walks around.
He's been walking for a short time when he hears Ino so he leans against a wall and waits for them to pass. She along with her Teammates Shikamaru Nara and Chōji Akimichi walk past him.
Shikamaru hasn't changed much really still the same minus the Flak jacket. Chōji though has changed quite a lot he's replaced his baby fat with rock hard muscle and wears something similar to a battle suit.
Naruto waits for them to walk for a few seconds before he chuckles "Well, if it isn't team InoShikaChō."
They all quickly look around and spot there friend Naruto and Ino walks up to him with a smile on her face and hugs him "So what did Lady Hokage want with you Naruto-Kun."
Naruto chuckles then fist bumps Shikamaru and Chōji before answering "Well she wanted to see how much I'd changed since I left so I had to fight, me and Sakura faced off against Kakashi-Sensei, We both did well actually but I knocked out Kakashi-Sensei, I'm sure you heard the big explosion a short time ago"
When they all nod he continues "That was my newest move the RasenShuriken It's a powerful move which Baa-Chan's made a Kinjutsu anyways I took the bell by using Sage Mode and that's it mission accomplished and for doing that I became a Chunin, although Baa-Chan, says I should have become one when Shikamaru did for what I did during the Chunin exams years ago."
Ino grins and hugs Naruto again "Congratulations Naruto-Kun, I knew it was only a matter of time until you did it."
Shikamaru nods "I agree, congrats bud, so might I ask why you didn't get promoted then or am I right in guessing it was because of your prisoner."
Naruto nods "Pretty much, Pervy Sage thinks they wanted me to remain weak so Kyuubi can't get stronger and escape dumb idiots, still I'm a Chunin now so whatever to them they hardly matter, oh no offence to your parents on the council and stuff."
Shikamaru grunts "No offence taken and I agree my dad always moans about the civilian council butting in to things that don't concern them there such arseholes, still like you said you got a promotion a field promotion I guess it happens, so what's this Sage Mode you mentioned it sounds interesting."
Naruto quickly goes into Sage Mode and Shikamaru and Chōji stare at the eyes, Ino's already seen it but it's still cool to her, Chōji grins "Man that looks cool so what does Sage Mode do."
Naruto smiles "Sage Mode is an empowered state that can be entered by blending Natural energy with one's Chakra, creating Senjutsu Chakra, It allows the user to tap into the natural force of the world, opening up new techniques to the user and allowing them to power up existing ones with new Senjutsu Chakra."
He chuckles remembering what could have happened to him if he failed and he nearly did on numerous occasions. "Sage Mode is hard to learn and if you do it wrong well let's just say I could have turned into a toad or turned to stone but as you can see I'm right here before you."
He chuckles remembering mastering it and showing Jiraiya who pouted like a baby. "I got it to work better than Pervy Sage that's Jiraiya the Toad Sage if you were wondering who that was, well as I said it works better than his as he hasn't fully mastered it so has like toad warts on his face and he looks ugly bawled his eyes out when I showed him my completed version."
"Anyways back to Sage Mode the advantages of Sage Mode are as follows, the user's Physical strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, perception and durability are all enhanced. The users Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu become more powerful."
"The user can manipulate natural energy, those who have mastered the Sage Mode Techniques of Mount Myōboku can turn the Natural energy around them into extensions of their own body to increase the reach of their attacks and the users can also Sense Chakra." There are disadvantages also but there boring."
All of team 10 stare at Naruto like he's grown two heads what he just said coming out of Naruto's mouth just seemed odd but they all think the same thing 'Naruto's really grown up in those five years away.'
Shikamaru chuckles "Damn Naruto that is the most you've ever said and what you said coming out of your mouth seems weird you've certainly grown up. It seems your brain has grown in five years I'm impressed."
Ino grins "You already showed me Sage Mode earlier but what you said sounds so cool so can anyone learn Sage Mode."
Naruto shakes his head "No, only people who have signed a Contract summoning like me with the Toads. There is also the Sandaime with the Monkeys, Orochimaru and Anko Mitarashi with the Snakes and Baa-Chan with the Slugs."
Ino nods "So that means Sakura could learn it as she has signed the Slug Contract also."
Naruto nods "I guess she can but from what Pervy Sage has told me not even Tsunade has mastered Sage Mode."
Ino nods "I see so I wanted to ask you something else me and you are we you know an item I'm not exactly sure of what we are."
Naruto smiles "If you want to be an item then sure we can do that, to be honest I was unsure also."
Ino squeals like a little girl and hugs Naruto again then turns to Shikamaru and Chōji "Me and Naruto are an item now."
Chōji grins "We did kind of just hear that Ino."
She grins embarrassed "Oh yeah, silly me, so have we got any plans guys."
Shikamaru shakes his head "No not really, why don't you two lovebirds spend some time together."
Naruto and Ino both grin then Naruto takes Ino's hand and Sunshin's away. Chōji looks at Shikamaru "She seems happy."
Shikamaru nods "Didn't expect Naruto and Ino to get together but I'm glad they're both happy especially after Naruto's early life he deserves to be happy."
Chōji looks at Shikamaru confused "His early life was it really that bad."
Shikamaru groans "You don't want to know, I do hope he forgives Sakura though, I could tell when we all met up earlier that she desperately wants his forgiveness and wanted to talk to him, let's hope they make up it's never good for teammates to be enemies although Naruto and Sasuke had a strange friendship also."
Chōji nods "I agree with you so come on let's go get something to eat" Shikamaru just shrugs and they walk off to their favourite BBQ restaurant.
Meanwhile, back with Naruto and Ino, they appear at team 10's training ground Ino grins at Naruto "That was Shunshin right, can you teach me that."
Naruto looks at her "Sure anything else."
She grins and puts her finger under her chin well I want you to teach me the Rasengan, I asked Kakashi to teach it to me along with the Shadow Clone Technique he taught me the Shadow Clone Technique but said he couldn't teach me the Rasengan."
He raises an eyebrow at that as Pervy Sage told him Kakashi knows it already "You want to learn the Rasengan, I guess I could teach it to you, there are steps involved as for Kakashi not knowing it well that's a lie he knows how to do it."
She looks at Naruto confused "Then why would he say he couldn't." Then she understands what he did and grins "Oh I get it he wanted you to teach it to me instead of him some bonding time or something like that."
Naruto chuckles "That's Kakashi for you, ever the pervert, OK, Shunshin first as it's easier followed by the Rasengan as I said it has steps to follow and it will take time.
She grins "Sounds good to me so what's first Naruto-Sensei."
