Uzumaki Naruto smirked as he looked through the peephole in the hot springs fence. It took a few months for him to secretly carve a view into the women's bath, but the blonde considered every close call to be worth it when it came to his research.

'Just a bit more before the academy...I gotta surprise Iruka with this new jutsu before graduation,' the boy thought as a perverted grin spread across his face. 'All this time spent watching, I just know I'll have perfected the image in my head...hopefully Hime won't be too mad if she finds out.'

Despite continuously convincing himself that everything he did was for the sake of research, the blonde couldn't stop his mind from conjuring all sorts of images for him. The blonde would freely admit he had gained an immense "appreciation" of the female form, enough so that he had trained himself to block the intense nosebleeds he had gotten in the first month.

"Hehe...nice," Naruto whispered lustily at the sight of several busty women disrobing and entering the bath. "Verrryyyy Niiiccceeee!"

"Ahem!"

The blonde froze up at the voice behind him, and turned around slowly. He was greeted to the sight of over a dozen kunoichi standing behind him, arms folded and faces twisted into cold fury. Naruto jumped back and held up his hands defensively.

"Hang on a second, I know how this looks...but I was just getting research for a jutsu!" the blonde shrunk at the cold gazes of the women. "Can't I get some slack?!"

One woman tilted her head towards the others with a sneer. "We should really take care of this, otherwise we'll get another Jiraiya in the village."

The blonde paled as the other women gave their apparent leader affirmative grunts and made to pull out their weapons. Naruto decided to do the only thing he thought would work.

He pointed to a space behind them as his expression morphed into one of shock and horror. "Oh Kami, what the hell is that?!"

Naruto didn't even wait to see if they took the bait, he made to escape immediately after he dropped his ploy. When he turned his head, he cried in terror at the sight of dozens of women chasing him down with multiple weapons aiming towards his lower parts.

When the blonde disappeared around a nearby corner, the lead kunoichi surveyed the nearby area.

"Search behind everything! Trash cans, fences, balconies! He couldn't have gotten far."

"Hey, over there!" one of the women cried out. Fleeing nearby was the blonde, more than visible due to his orange jumpsuit.

"After him!"

After the women ran off in pursuit of the blonde, the real Naruto dropped the fence colored tarp he hid behind not too far away. Rather than letting out a giggle like he would at pulling a fast one over normal ninja, the blonde let out a terrified wheeze instead.

"Damn, that was close...if those girls had gotten to me I really would be the last Uzumaki," the boy panted for a few more seconds before straightening himself. "Alright, I should have enough time to get to the academy, just need to deflect Iruka if he asks where I was and what I was doing or else-"

"Naruto!" a stern voice sounded out from behind him. The blonde turned himself slowly towards the speaker, flinching when he saw who it was. His (arguably) best friend, Joushuya Joushirou, stared down at the blonde with his eyes shadowed by his weird hat that seemed to be a part of his hair. The calculating blue orbs held cat-like pupils which were narrowed at the blonde in particular.

"What were you doing?" the taller boy asked flatly.

"...I was peeping again?" the blonde said, phrasing it more as a question than a statement. "I know I said I'd stop, but it's for an important jutsu!"

"Becoming a shameless pervert is worth it for your new jutsu?"

"Don't act like a saint Jojo!" the blonde growled. "You're just as much of a perv as I am, how do you get to take the high ground on this?"

"Because I'm a classy pervert," the bluenette formed himself into a pose, holding his hands parallel to one another while turning his head to the side, still sending the blonde a flat look. "A chivalrous pervert, if you will. I don't peep on women in the bath without their permission, I don't read trashy porn-"

"Icha Icha isn't trash dammit!" the blonde hissed, only to freeze when he noticed something. "Ah, Jojo maybe-"

"I don't read trashy porn," the posing boy cut in, still glaring at the blonde.

"Jojo-"

"And I don't try to sneak a peek at every pair of breasts I see" the boy said finally.

"That's nice and all Jojo," Naruto said nervously, still staring at the space behind his friend. "But maybe we should get going, seeing as we might be late for school-"

The taller boy crossed his legs and folded his right arm beneath his left, while jabbing a thumb to the space behind him. "And now, your next line is "That's a nice speech gaki, but it won't earn you any points with us", go on!"

"That's a nice speech gaki," the leader of the group of angry women growled from behind the boy. "But it won't earn you any points with us!"

Joushirou's mouth formed into a small but sly grin as the woman stood there unmoving for several seconds.

"...HUH?!"

"That took longer than normal," the blonde said, watching the lady reel back in shock. "Now they're after both of us huh?"

The women responded by holding up their weapons, one crossbow user clearly aiming for just above the seat of the blonde's pants. Naruto whimpered at the crowd of kunoichi ready to ruin his bloodline.

"Naruto, relax," the taller boy said. "I have the perfect plan for this, one that never fails against the enemies of my bloodline, and I'll clue you in on it too."

"A plan?"

"Yes, a secret clan technique if you will," the bluenette gave his friend a cocky grin. "One that's been in my family for generations, and has almost never failed to defeat our enemies."

"Well what is it?!" the blonde asked, eyeing the angry women slowly approaching them.

"It involved the use of our legs," Joushirou said, patting a hand to his left leg to demonstrate.

"And what are you gonna do with your legs then?"

The tall boy didn't give naruto an immediate answer, instead opting to smile directly at the angry kunoichi that walked towards them menacingly. Then, the boy squatted and flexed every muscle in his lower body…

And made a 180 degree turn.

"NIGERUNDAYOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~"

Naruto grimaced as the boy began running off, while also noting the bewildered looks of the kunoichi gunning for them. Within the span of a second, the blonde took off running after his friend, looking back to make sure they weren't being followed.

"How did you even manage that? They didn't even follow us right away!"

"That's the secret of the secret technique Naruto!" the joestar cried out. "They were planning to take away my ability to reproduce, thus making them enemies of the bloodline. As long as a person is descended from my grandfather, the family secret technique will never fail to work it's magic against our enemies!"

"Ok, so now what's the plan?!"

"Well…" the tall boy trailed off. "Hopefully we can reach the academy just in time to have Iruka chew us out in first period instead of second."


"I can believe the two of you," Iruka growled down at us. "Being late isn't new for either of you, but spying on women in the hot springs?! I expected better of both of you, especially you Jojo!"

"Actually Iruka-sensei, I was the only one who was peeping on women," Naruto said, holding a hand up. "Jojo just snuck up on me while I was running and was gonna scold me for it. Only reason he didn't was because those kunoichi were threatening to end our bloodlines."

The scarred man gave the blonde a frown. "Please do tell me how you could justify peeping on girls in the hot springs?"

"It was for research," the blonde said nervously. I actually thought I saw Iruka shiver at that, the glare he sent the boy after was very piercing.

"What kind of research requires unclothed women?" the chūnin asked coldly.

"It was for a jutsu!"

"...You know what, I don't want to know," the scarred man's scowl deepened "Since you two are late, everybody has to review the Henge, even if they already passed!"

"What?!"

I let out a sigh as most of the other students cried in protest or sent us glares. "Yare Yare... alright fine, let's get it over with!"

"Perfect, why don't you go first Jojo?" Iruka said as everybody finished lining up.

Oh great, and now he's putting me on the spot like that…

"Yare Yare, fine," I stood in front of Iruka and formed my hands into the right seals. A thought popped into my head, and as much of a bad idea as it was, I couldn't resist the temptation.

"Henge!"

*POOF*

When I looked down from my transformation, I saw Iruka gaping at me in shock. Considering who I had henged into, it was understandable. I had taken the appearance of a man much taller than I currently was, with a far less bitchy face. Alongside this, my long coat had been swapped with a close-fitted tank top with thick shoulder pads like the pauldrons of an old knight.

"That is very impressive Joushirou…" Iruka trailed off, still looking up at me nervously. "You'll have to forgive me though, I've never seen this person in my entire life."

"I wouldn't think you have," I said in a soft and warm voice, surprising everybody. I released the transformation with a loud *poof* and a cloud of smoke, and dig into my pocket as the cloud dissipated.

"Here," I said, showing him the picture in my wallet. "The person I henged into was my Jiji, on my moms side. You can see him down there in an old photo, everything else I know was from my parents telling me stories using genjutsu."

Iruka scrutinized the photo for several seconds before sighing and handing the wallet back. "Alright, I didn't say you had to transform into me, so I can't give you flak. Go ahead and sit down, Sakura you're up next!"

I got to my seat just as Iruka finished his critique of Sakura's jutsu while the pinkette begged for the Uchiha's attention, same as ever. After Sasuke finished his, I sat up straight and braced myself for what was going to happen. Naruto walked forward with a stubborn look before a mischievous grin spread across his face.

"Henge!"

*POOF*

It was only through years of person training and wrestling control over my emotions that I was able to prevent a nosebleed at the sight of Naruto's female transformation. Iruka, and every other guy in class, were nowhere near as conditioned to such a thing as I was. The scarred man was the first one whose nose exploded into fountains of blood, launching him backwards. Every other male student in the class soon followed, with one or two girls also nasally gushing at the sight of the nude female form that had come into existence at the front of the room.

Naruto dispelled the transformation and cackled as the smoke dissipated. "Told you I was doing it for research! So what do you think of my Oiroke no Jutsu?"

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" the scarred man yelled, head expanded and eyes bugged out. "WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A JUTSU LIKE THAT?!"

"Yare Yare Daze…" I muttered.

"Would you chill out, it was a joke!" the blonde cried out. "You never said I had to transform into you, just that I had to do the henge."

"Can't you just go back to defacing the monument like last year?!" Iruka yelled/pleaded. "At least when you were doing stuff like that I knew how to handle it!" the scarred chūnin whimpered before waving the blonde off. "Just go to your seat!"

Naruto giggled as he took his seat between Sasuke and myself. I could hear the Uchiha huffing angrily as he glanced at the blonde out of the corner of his eye.

"You really spent months spying on the bathhouse for that?"

"Hey, sometime in the future my sexy jutsu will probably be strong enough to take down a god or something."

...You know, I really hate the fact that it's true. It doesn't make it better that it is, it just makes it easier to not say something stupid that would then cause me to have to eat my words later. At least his technique doesn't involve dressing up as a woman and saying he has tequila.

"Hn...so tomorrow is graduation," Sasuke started. "What's the plan then? Are we gonna shoot for being on the same team."

"I doubt that'll happen," I said flatly. "Remember how I always get most of my techniques from spying on genin teams? I know for a fact that a team will consist of two shinobi, one kunoichi, and their jōnin sensei. There's no way the three of us can be on the same team."

"...Then that means," the Uchiha's face morphed into a pained grimace. "There's a chance that the kunoichi on my team will be one of my…" Sasuke trailed off with a look of mute horror on his face.

"Try to think about which fangirl you hate the least, and pray to whatever Kami will listen that they're going to be on your team."

"I just hope I'm on the same team as Hi-" Naruto cut himself off and went pale. "...Somebody who's really great, that's what I was going to say" the blonde looked away nervously, then flinched when his gaze caught something, causing him to look forward nervously again.

While Sasuke gave the blonde a baffled look, I followed where Naruto's gaze had gone as discreetly as I could. Sitting at the far back and staring at the blonde was Hinata, her bangs shadowing her face and a small pout on her lip. Evidently the girl hadn't forgotten the boy's display, and she planned to pay her secret boyfriend a...talk? Beating, that's the word I'm looking for, pay him a beating…

If I had known he would have become so whipped, maybe I wouldn't have nudged things along quicker...Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.

"I'm just hoping my sensei isn't a lazy bastard or something" I said blithely, knowing full well that the suckers sitting next to me would be the ones fated to get Kakashi.

"Do you think they'll cut us some slack today in class?" the blonde chittered nervously. "Y'know, graduation being tomorrow and all?"

I snorted at this. "Relax, just hold out until lunch like always. It's not like Iruka-sensei will go over something boring as hell, right?"

"Now then!" the man in question called out as the last no-name civilian student clambered into their seat. "I figured since today was the last day before graduation, we could go over the history and bloodlines of Konoha one last time."

"...This should be interesting," Shino said from his spot next to Sasuke after being silent for so long. "I can't wait to learn about all our clans again. How many times will it be now?"

"2,567 times if we count this time," Sasuke grumbled.

"Mine doesn't count, we barely have half a paragraph and it's marked in with the Senju clan's section," Naruto moaned.

This is somehow Kakyoin's fault, I just know it.

"Yare Yare Daze…"

Later

Just when it was time for lunch, and I was on my way to spend time with my friends, I had a little roadblock.

"Hey, Jojo!"

Said roadblock came in the form of a familiar silver-haired asshole. Tsu Mizuka waved me over just as I was about to enter the lunchroom with Naruto. I tried to ignore him, I really did, but the blonde gave me an incredulous look as the soon-to-be-traitorous chūnin called my name again. I must have looked really weird, because Naruto thought Mizuki was nice, and I never disrespected any of the nice teachers here.

"Tch, dammit," I turned to the silver-haired man with a restrained glare. "What do you want Mizuki-sensei?"

"I was hoping to talk to you about your grades," the chūnin said, glancing at the blonde nervously. "Alone, if you don't mind."

I definitely saw the flash of disgust in his eyes as he glanced at Naruto, I wasn't gonna pretend I couldn't see that. I guess I should just get this over with, huh?

"Yare Yare…" I turned to Naruto. "Go ahead and save my seat, I'll meet up with you in a bit."

The blonde nodded confusedly before walking off. Mizuki motioned for me to follow him into a nearby classroom, one that was thankfully empty. Once he was sure we were both alone, the silver-haired man turned to me with a bright smile.

Huh, there were all sorts of Orochimaru jokes I could make about this.

"So you've probably figured out that this isn't about your grades" Mizuki said sheepishly. "I actually wanted to ask you for a favor, one that'll really help Naruto-"

"Cut the crap Mizuki-teme!" I growled, sending a bit of killing intent towards him and letting the golden glow of my stand surround me. "I haven't bought the shit you were spewing since the first day you were here."

Mizuki's face turned into a vicious sneer. "You know, you could have at least pretended to like me Joushirou."

"Oh, like how you pretend that you don't hate my best friend?" I growled back. "You're doing a terrible job then, because anybody who isn't an idiot or blinded by some past connection would be able to see how much you hate him, hell I've stopped you from sabotaging him more times than I can count on both hands."

"So it was you?!" the silver-haired man snarled. "What is he to you anyway? You've had to have noticed how every sane person looks at him, why do you still stick with him?"

It was seriously taking everything in me not to Cioccolata this guy right then and there. "It's none of your damn business Teme, I don't need to justify my life to assholes like you!" with that I began to walk off.

"You really don't get it huh?" Mizuki jeered from behind me. "If he ends up graduating tomorrow, then you'll see! You'll see just what that thing is really like, you can count on it Jojo! You'll know he's a monster then!"

"He's a monster like I'm possessed by an evil spirit!" I growled over my shoulder. "Your bullshit isn't gonna fool anybody."


The next day

"To graduate, you'll have perform the three essential academy jutsu as a final exam," Iruka announced to the class while going over his clipboard. "The last of these will be the Bunshin. When your name is called, make your way to the testing room."

"This is gonna suck!" Naruto whined beside me. "Even after everything, that's still my worst technique."

"Would you calm down," Sasuke hissed. "Just do what I suggested and make a bunch of clones instead of trying to make a few, it'll work out."

"First up...Joushuya Joushirou!"

...Well shit!

"Yare Yare...alright, let's get this over with," I grumbled, following Iruka out of the class and straight to the exam room.

Low and behold, Mizuki-teme was already there waiting for us, sitting at a table covered in over a hundred shiny new hitai-ate. The silver-haired man sneered at me as Iruka walked past him, then settled into a neutral expression as the scarred man arranged his clipboard.

"Alright, start off with the Henge," Iruka said. "Transform into somebody we'd both be familiar with, if you don't mind."

I formed my hand into the correct seals and molded cakra around my form. With a loud *poof* and a puff of smoke, I transformed, causing both of the chūnin to blanch and gag.

"Did you have to transform into Might Guy?" Mizuki asked with a scrunched up face.

"You should have been more specific," I said flatly as I dispelled the transformation.

"If I knew you'd do that, I'd have let you henge into your grandpa," Iruka marked something on his clipboard before looking over to the side of the room. "Do you see that mannequin over there Jojo?"

I looked to my right to see that yes, there was in fact a mannequin at the far right of the room. "Huh, why the hell is that thing ther-"

*POOF*

It was only through sheer reflex that I used the Kawarimi in time. Just a second after the mannequin materialized where I formerly stood, the ball Iruka threw impacted on it hard. The scarred chūnin chuckled as he marked that down.

"Kawarimi is a pass...alright then, you know what to do Jojo," Iruka gave me a pointed glance. "Perform the Bunshin, and if you manage to make at least three perfect clones, you pass."

I huffed lowly before forming my hands into the least complicated set of seals for the Bunshin, all while willing the chakra I needed to (hopefully) perfect them. "Bunshin no Jutsu!"

*POOF*

Oh sweet stand-using Jesus, I was really worried there for a second. Instead of three ghost mes, a trio of perfectly solid looking clones of myself surrounded me.

"Perfect!" Iruka cried out, grabbing one of the headbands as he sat up. "Congratulations on becoming a shinobi of Konoha Joushirou! Here's your-"

"Would I be able to get the plate attached to something else?" I asked quickly.

The scarred chūnin tilted his head confusedly for a few seconds. "You could if you went to the front desk...but you'd need something to nail it to."

"How bout this?" I said, pulling off my cap and pointing to the blank space at the front, a space that was just perfect for the metal plate of the hitai-ate.

"WAIT WHAT?!" Iruka cried out, looking at my cap like the secrets of the universe had just presented themselves. "You mean that's not a part of your hair?!"

I stared at him mutely for several seconds before sighing. "Yare Yare Daze…"


"One step closer…" ゴ ゴ ゴ ゴ

"Uchiha-san?"

"One...step...closer!" ゴ ゴ ゴ ゴ

"Uchiha-san, what are you-"

"One step closer!" ゴ ゴ ゴ

"Sasuke!" Shino cried out rather uncharacteristically, startling the Uchiha. "Are you ok? It was like you were in a trance."

"What was I saying?"

"You kept saying "one step closer" for some reason."

"Yesssssss," Sasuke hissed menacingly as he looked at his own reflection in his hitai-ate. "One step closer…" ゴ ゴ ゴ ゴ

"...To what?" I asked flatly.

"Revenge…" the Uchiha growled lowly. ゴ ゴ ゴ ゴ

"I think we're gonna stop by Ichiraku's before heading home," I said as a tiny bead of sweat trailed down the side of my head.

"Ramen...yes, ramen is good," Sasuke said dumbly. "Ramen first...then revenge…"

Please, let something happen that distracts Sasuke from his revenge on his brother. I'll take a servant of DIO showing up to try and kill me if it gets him to zip his mouth over this.

"Hey guys!"

Oh thank fuck, Naruto's gonna put a stop to it like always...wait, Naruto? Cheerfully running up to us with a genuinely happy smile on his face? Wearing a (albeit slightly scratched up) headband?

...Success?

"So you passed?" Shino asked the boy. "Did they run out of headbands? Yours looks rather...unkempt."

"It's Iruka-sensei's! He gave it to me to congratulate me" the blonde held the headband up cheerfully. "Isn't this great?! Now I'm one step closer to becoming Hokage!"

"...One step closer," Sasuke growled menacingly.

"Huh? What are you one step closer to Sasuke?"

"Revenge…" ゴ ゴ ゴ ゴ

Naruto tilted his head confusedly. "What ramen flavor is that?"

Please be stumped by the stupid statement Sasuke. You can't possibly make a proper response to-

"Revenge...is revenge flavored!" the Uchiha hissed, a mad grin spreading across his face.

"...Yare Yare Daze," I moaned. "Can we just start heading to Ichiraku's now? I can only deal with so much of...this, at once."

"Actually, you guys can go on ahead," the blonde said sheepishly. "I've got to meet up with somebody-"

"Your secret girlfriend?" I asked.

"HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?!"

"You just told me," I said flatly, literally flooring the blonde.

"Do hope that nobody else heard that," Shino said while discreetly looking around. "That information would be dangerous in the wrong hands."

"We're standing by this huge tree, far away from anybody," I said as I motioned to said tree. "I doubt anybody heard us…I guess we'll see you tomorrow huh?"

"But we don't get our teams until the end of the week."

"What does that have to do with anything," I turned to the blonde owlishly. "We can still train, eat ramen...train some more…" I rubbed the back of my head sheepishly. "Wait, is training the only thing I know how to do aside from eating ramen with you guys?"

"I think that's about it," Sasuke said.

"Yare Yare...whatever," I grumbled, turning around. "We'll see you around Naruto...have fun with your special lady friend" my face cracked into a grin at the blonde's indignant squawk at my playful jab.


That night

I was hungry…

Par for the course when you stay up as late as I normally do. I felt really energized at night, but that energy wasn't going to come from nothing. Currently, I was in the mood for a bag of chips...one that was on the counter, a few meters away from my couch.

I willed my stand to emerge and made him face the object of my current needs. "Sutā Fingā!"

With that, Star Platinum's index and middle fingers elongated to an absurd length, enough to reach the bag of chips. With a flick of the wrist, the bag flew towards the couch, only to be caught by my stand.

I grabbed the bag from my punchy boi and popped a few chips in my mouth. Yes, I use my stand for utterly menial tasks even though he isn't a toy. Jotaro made it get beer and manga while he was in a prison cell, so sue me.

The only reason I was staying up extra late tonight was because it was supposedly important. If Kakyoin was to be believed, then everything would still go as it did in canon, because fate is a bitch. How Mizuki-teme was supposed to trick Naruto into stealing the scroll of seals when the boy had passed, I wasn't quite sure, but if it's supposed to happen then it happens.

Since I've basically insinuated myself into the blonde's life, if he does anything then people would probably come to me for help...so-

*KNOCKKNOCKKNOCKKNOCKKNOCKKNOCKKNOCKKNOCK*

Right on schedule.

I kicked myself off the couch, stretched a bit as Star Platinum retreated back into my being, and walked towards my front door. When I opened it, I saw Iruka-sensei staring down at me with a terrified look.

"Oh, Iruka-sensei? What are-"

"Naruto stole the Scroll of Seals and ran off with it!" the scarred man yelled.

I stuck a finger in my ear at the volume of his voice. "Ok, maybe go over that again? And be quieter please, you know I have sensitive hearing."

"Sorry," Iruka dipped his head for a second before pinning me with a desperate look. "Naruto broke into the Hokage's house a few hours ago, just before midnight, and stole the Scroll of seals. You know what that is, right Jojo?"

"Yeah, the scroll that has all the stupidly powerful techniques made by the Shodai and Nidaime...wait, wasn't the old man in his house?"

"Well...yes, but-"

"Then how did Naruto get past the strongest person in the village?"

"...so, remember that "new justu" he showed off the other day?" Iruka rubbed the back of his head nervously. "The one he said was the culmination of all his research?"

I stared at Iruka blankly for several seconds before letting out a huff. "Yare Yare Daze...so why are you coming to me for this?"

"Because I figured Naruto would have run it by you."

"Iruka-sensei, if I knew Naruto had done something like that, I would have come to you immediately."

"...Oh shit you have no idea where he is!" the scarred chūnin's face morphed into one of horror. "Shit! What do we do?!"

"Sensei! Calm down...now, what's going on with the rest of the village?"

"Well, everybody is basically out for his blood, or to have him strung up by his toes. Hell, the tamest thing I'm hearing is that he should be removed from the shinobi forces-"

"Ok, nothing to worry about then," I said calmly. "We can just track him down, and you can figure out why he stole an important artifact belonging to the Hokage, and I can slap him upside the head," I turned around and walked into my house, motioning for Iruka to follow. "I just need to gather a few things first, maybe a weapon or two-AHA, I can use my dad's balls!"

"...Wait, what?!" the scarred man cried owlishly. "Did you actually just say that you could use your dad's balls?"

"Yeah, but I'll need to get them oiled up first," I said, opening a downstairs closet and digging through for what I needed. I moved a few boxes around just as I finished sheathing my three swords and clipping an axe to my belt.

"I thought your father was dead!"

"Yeah, he is…" I grumbled, remembering that night. "But he left me his balls, so they should be useful if Naruto is uncooperative."

"Why did your dad leave you his-" Iruka cut himself off as I pulled a pair of metal clackers emblazoned with a stylized letter J. "What the hell are those?"

"They're clackers, my parents used them as weapons," I hoisted them up. "The one pair belonged to my dad, the other was Mom's. If I use a special oil, they can conduct hamon pretty nicely," I turned to him with a flat look. "Why the hell were you acting so weird when I started talking about them?"

"I...well, the way you said it...Y-Y'know what, let's just go and find Naruto" the scarred chūnin rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "If I try to continue this conversation, my brain will stop working and I'll get really uncomfortable."

"...Yare Yare Daze, whatever."


"Naruto!" Iruka cried out as he ran through the trees. "Mizuki's not far behind, give me the scroll!"

The response "Iruka" got was several dozen kunai flying towards him. The moment he hit the ground, he shot a piercing glare.

"How…" the man growled as his henge dispelled. "How the hell could you have known it was me you demon brat?!" Mizuki snarled.

"Yare Yare Daze, you really are a dumbass," I sneered as I dropped the transformation, surprising the silver-haired traitor. "For starters, Iruka-sensei is right there," I pointed to the prone chūnin leaning against a tree as he tried to stifle the bleeding from his wounds.

"So, you followed Iruka then?"

"Yeah, the idiot told me to hide in case things went south...I heard everything," I gave Mizuki a glare as my pupils narrowed into cat-like slits. "You're such a piece of shit Mizuki-teme, I'm really looking forward to this."

"Why the hell are you defending him Joushirou?! He's a damn monster, he killed so many innocent people, he-"

"Shut your mouth shitstain!" I growled. "I've known about the fox since the year after I met Naruto, I'm not gonna fall for your bullshit."

"How did you figure it out?!"

"I'm not an idiot!" I yelled.

"Yeah, that'll do it," Iruka said weakly as he pulled another Kunai from his leg.

"And since I'm not an idiot, I'm well aware of the fucking difference between a person and a demon that can destroy a continent!" I pulled my tanto from its sheath. "Naruto can act pretty stupid, or reckless when it comes to pranking people, and lately he's become a huge pervert...but I've seen the shit people do to him, like what you've tried, and my senses are so stupidly enhanced that it's impossible for me to not hear the shit people say about him behind his back," I pointed my blade towards the traitorous asshole. "You know what he does? When everybody treats him like he's not even a human being, he just picks himself up, smiles at them, and tells them he's gonna prove them wrong one day. I like to think I'm tough, but I could never do something like that. Naruto is my friend, not a fucking demon, you degenerate piece of shit!"

"You're a real piece of work, Jojo," Mizuki sneered. "That demon already infected your mind...Iruka would think differently-"

"Nah," said chūnin groaned out. "If Naruto really was a demon, he'd be using the power of that scroll to do whatever he wanted...but he isn't doing that, he's playing keepaway from you. Naruto may not be my best student, he's clumsy and I can't count the amount of people who hate him on both hands, but he knows what it's like to feel the pain that you can only feel inside your heart," Iruka fixed his former friend and comrade with a fierce glare. "He isn't a giant demon fox, he's Uzumaki Nartuo, heir to the Uzumaki clan and Shinobi of Konoha!"

Mizuki sent both of us a flat look, before a mad grin spread across his face. "You know what, I'm really pissed off right now...and the best way to let off some steam," the silver-haired man cackled as he pulled out two Fūma Shuriken. "Well, getting stabby with these things sounds pretty therapeutic right about now. FUCKING DIE, BOTH OF YOU!"

It happened so fast, one second Mizuki was charging at me and Iruka with his giant Shuriken, and the next, Naruto had jumped out of nowhere and slammed his head into the traitor's gut. The blonde turned to me just as the silver-haired man ricocheted across the ground.

"So...you knew the whole time?" he asked me.

"For about four years now, yeah."

"And you didn't care?"

"If you're a demon, then I'm possessed by an evil spirit," I jabbed a thumb at myself. "I definitely don't feel possessed, so we're both good."

Naruto gave me a genuinely happy smile.

It was rather short lived though.

"You stupid demon brat!" Mizuki growled as he lifted himself off the ground.

"If you hurt anybody I care about...I'll kill you!" the blonde said coldly.

"Ooh, big talk coming from a little punk!" the traitor laughed. "I could kill you in one shot you filthy demon!"

Naruto stared at the man menacingly as he formed his hands into the clone seal. "Hit me with your best shot, I'll return the pain a thousand times over!"

"THEN GO AHEAD, KYUUBI NO KITSUNE!"

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!"

*POOF**POOF**POOF*

Orange...Orange everywhere. The whole fucking clearing we were in was instantly filled to the brim with Naruto copies, these ones now perfectly solid thanks to the blonde finally getting his signature justu.

Just according to Keikaku.

Funny enough, Mizuki didn't seem as surprised as he was in canon. He was still shocked, but it was rather restrained.

"Shadow clones?! And this many?! Is this your demon power?!"

"What's your deal?" one clone called out.

"I thought you could take me down in one shot," another clone jeered. "That's what you said, right?"

"Alright then" the all cried out in near-unison. "I guess we're coming to you, huh?"

It was like a huge party...of orange, and all the partygoers were beating up the asshole who decided to crash the party. All the while, the blonde jeered and made scathing remarks towards the traitor. Despite everything, Mizuki was actually holding his ground instead of going down like in canon. He was weaving through the copies with his Fūma Shuriken, tearing through them as best as he could and going for any that he could see. Plenty more would replace them, but even at this age, Naruto had a limit. It was just a matter of who would crack first.

Fortunately, it seemed to be pretty split even. Mizuki now face the (what I assumed to be) real Naruto, with several clones still clinging to his body to drag him down. Though the original blonde was huffing, he was still flashing the man a cocky smirk.

"You think...this is funny...demon filth!" the silver-haired man growled. "I can still keep going, I'll end you here and now!"

"Not with this you wont!" the blonde formed his hands into the snake seal and let out a roar. "MOKUTON!"

At that, four trees shot out of the ground and surrounded the traitor. The clones dragging him down dispelled just at the trees completely encased him in a hollow, unbreakable prison.

"...What!" I cried out, still in shock that Naruto just used the Moku-wait a fucking minute!

"Kakyoin, you asshole!" I hissed under my breath, before doing my best to regain my composure. "Yare Yare, guess I didn't need to use my dad's balls after all."

"Your dad's what?" Naruto squeaked.

"Don't get into it!" Iruka called out as he walked over to us. "You'll just have more questions...kind of like the ones I have now" the scarred man looked at the blonde owlishly. "How do you have the Mokuton?!"

"I've just...had it for a while I guess," the blonde rubbed the back of his head nervously. "I didn't know it had a name until the second year in the academy, when we went over bloodlines. I had been making flowers grow for half a year just for fun without even knowing," Naruto flinched and looked over to the treeline. "I'm guessing Jiji saw that part too, huh?"

"He did," a calm voice called out. Soon enough, four ANBU stood right in front of us. "His Tōmegane lets him see the current activities of anybody whose chakra he knows. He'll probably have several questions" the lead ANBU then looked to Mizuki's prison. "And obviously, we'll need your assistance when we transport him to T&I."

"Wait, what's going on?" Iruka looked back and forth between the ANBU and Naruto. "Could you maybe explain to those who are out of the loop."

"Right, guess I gotta tell you," the blonde gave us a mischievous grin. "That thing with me using my Oiroke no Jutsu to defeat the old man and steal the scroll...that was a big fat lie!"

Iruka instantly facevaulted, while my eyes bugged out inquisitively.

"I mean, I did show him my Oiroke...but that was just because he wanted to catalogue it," Naruto looked back at us and flinched. "Right, full story! So, Mizuki-teme came up to me while I was going home after my...rendezvous, with my secret girlfriend-"

"You have a secret girlfriend?!" Iruka cried out.

"-And he told me about this, and I'm using his words here no joke, "Super secret test of secretness" that'll promote me to chūnin rank instantly, all I had to do was break into the old man's house and steal the Scroll of Seals," the blonde sent me a wild smirk. "Thanks to Jojo though, I learned how to sense bullshit, so instead of doing that I went to Jiji to tell him. That's when we concocted a plan to catch Mizuki, and I got a free jutsu from the whole thing."

"Is this true?" I asked the ANBU.

"Indeed," one, a female in a bird mask, stepped forward. "The four of us were present, and we were included in the plan. If anything were to happen that Uzumaki couldn't handle, we would have stepped in."

"So yeah, everything worked out!" Naruto smiled brightly, then deflated to a melancholy look. "The...the whole thing with the fox, we'll have to talk about that too, huh?"

"Hokage-sama will probably want to discuss a lot with you," one of the ANBU said.

"So let me get this straight," I said, holding my hands up questioningly. "You were accosted by Mizuki-teme to steal the Scroll of Seals, and you told the old man. The two of you then came up with a plan to trap that asshole," I motioned to the huge tree prison. "Which you were able to fulfill because you got a new jutsu and you've had the Mokuton for four years now. Am I missing anything?"

"Hmm...Nah, you've got everything," the blonde said. "I'm sorry about this, I shouldn't have risked your lives for this-"

"Naruto, it's fine," Iruka said reassuringly. "If anything, I'm sorry you had to learn about...well, the whole giant fox monster thing."

"I'm not sure how to deal with it actually," Naruto said anxiously.

"The best course of action would be getting to the Hokage," the lead ANBU said. "We should get back to the village, we can sort Mizuki out later. Come!"

Just as we began to head back to the village, we all froze at the sound of a loud *CRACK* from the tree prison Naruto had created. Our weapons were barely ready when a large, clawed hand smashed through, and a pair of glowing yellow eyes peering from within the darkness of the wooden entrapment.

ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ

After a loud crash, the thing flew from the prison.

It kinda looked like a shirtless Mizuki...keyword kinda. Because Mizuki, last time I checked, didn't have dark grey skin and a mane of silver fur going down his back and around his neck and chest, nor did he sport a wolf-like face with vicious fangs or the triangular canid ears at the top of his head.

And at no point in my life did I remember him having huge scythe/wings. The limbs themselves looked like giant bat wings, but instead of having fingers connecting the membrane to create full wings, the wing simply had a thumb and the second finger that extended outward. Attached to the huge wings, from the elbow to the end of said finger, was what seemed like bone that was definitely wicked sharp judging by how the moonlight glinted on it, making the wings look like giant scythes attached to the creature's back.

"Hehe...didn't think I'd have to use this," the thing said. It almost sounded like Mizuki too, but it just wasn't right at all. "Oi, demon brat! I didn't hear a bell, so we're still doing this!"

"I can't believe it," Iruka croaked out. "Orochimaru! You were doing this because you work for that creep?!"

"Wait, Orochimaru is real?!" Naruto cried out. "I thought he was just a mythical pedo, somebody to scare children and shit!"

"Yes, he's real…" I trailed off, backing away nervously as Mizuki stalked towards us. "I only thought about making a joke that one time, I didn't think he was...well…"

While I was musing about pedophile jokes based off Orochimaru, the ANBU sprung into action. The four trained ninja sped towards the transformed Mizuki, weapons leveled towards his beastly form.

The leader was the only one who died. Considering he was cut in half, there really wasn't any chance for him. Mizuki had swung right down onto his head first, so maybe the guy had at least died too quick to feel anything after that. The others were so distracted by the fountain of blood spilling on them that they couldn't dodge the traitor's attacks. The other two male ANBU were left bereft of their legs, while Eagle was simply stabbed in the shoulders.

Mizuki sneered at the fallen ANBU woman before continuing his stalk towards us. Iruka, still weakened from his previous blood loss, was unable to do anything as the traitor backhanded him into a nearby tree. Finally, the beast stood before me and Naruto with a vicious grin.

"Well, demon fox? You gonna try and take me?" the beast released enough killing intent to make Naruto drop to his knees. "As much as I really want to kill you, this whole Mokuton thing is a new development," the mutated traitor leaned down and lapped his tongue near the blonde's cheek. "If you're really a natural born Mokuton user, my boss would really appreciate it if I brought you to him. I'd get a very generous reward for bringing you alive."

"Hey freak!" I growled out. "Did you fucking forget about me or something? You must be high if you think I'm letting that happen!"

"Hehehehehe...I didn't forget about you Jojo" with that, Mizuki blurred out of existence, and one of his scythe/wings was pressing threateningly against my neck. "Hey demon fox! You care about this kid, right? If you want him to live, you'll come with me quietly!"

"W-What?!" the blonde stuttered, still under the effects of the traitor's KI and chakra exhaustion. "Wait, no! Just let him go, I'll-"

"Don't! Naruto, I'll be fine," I assured him, hoping he wouldn't mess this up. I had Mizuki right where I wanted him.

Just...According to...KEIKAKU!

"Oh? You'll be fine? That's cute Jojo," the mutated traitor snarled at me wildly. "I remembered something you said before, about being possessed by an evil spirit...hehehe! Why don't you summon it, maybe it'll protect you huh?"

"...You sure?" I asked him, glancing at him from the corner of my eye with a smug grin. "Because if you're really sure about it, then you don't get takebacks."

"EH?! You trying to play games Jojo?! I don't like being fucked with!"

"I was just trying to make sure Mizuki-sensei. I don't want to offend you or anything."

"Quit fucking with me gaki! If you really have an evil spirit possessing you, then go ahead and show me."

...well, he did ask, didn't he? My smile was so wide, up until this point I had never felt so happy in either of my lives.

"SUTĀ PURACHINA!"

"ORA!"

*CRAAAAACK*

(Background Music Play! Stardust Crusaders OST: Stardust Crusaders)

Star Platinum erupted from my very being and slammed it's fist straight into Mizuki's jaw, all while breaking both of his wings in the process. When the freak tried to stand up, I slammed a foot down on his fingers. Mizuki looked up at me in terror as I sneered at him viciously.

"W-What the hell is that thing?! What did you do to me?!" he cried out in terror.

"This?" I pointed to SP. "Oh, that's just my stand...hehe, based on how confused you look, you don't know what that is huh? Well, basically my soul harnesses my lifeforce into a ghost that punches stuff for me. He can punch with enough force to crack giant diamonds and can let out a barrage of said punches...at the speed of light," my grin turned murderous as his beastly face morphed further into a horrendously terrified expression. "I won't go into too much detail about stands though, since you're not gonna be around for long anyway."

"Please, wait!" Mizuki held his other hand up in fear. "I-I know when I'm beat, I'd never be able to fight, not like this! You broke my nose, I think I lost a bunch of my teeth...oh kami, they'll have to rewire my jaw shut if they even care enough to-"

"Oh, Mizuki-sensei, that's cute," I sneered at his confused look. "You know, you're the only teacher I hated who I never got to do this to...so I think I'm ready to make up for lost time," I stood up and lifted my foot off his hand, willing my stand to pose at him menacingly to prevent him from trying anything. "Class is in session then, and we're having a pop quiz! I'll ask you a question, and depending on what answer you give, you may receive some form of disciplinary action. Understand, sensei?"

"Y-Yeah, I totally understand!"

"Good...now, for the question," I leaned forward while sending my own KI to him. "Have you ever heard of somebody named "Steely Dan"?"

"N-No, I haven't."

"Funny…"

"I'm expecting the same response," I said viciously. "When I ask the next person about "Tsu Mizuki", what do you think?"

"...OH KAMI NO PLEASE NO-"

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"

"AAAAGHHHH!"

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"

"GAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

"ORAAAAAAAA!"

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!"

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"

"WAAAAHAAAAAA!"

"ORAAAAAAAA!" with one last cry, Star Platinum rocketed his fist straight into the man's gut, throwing him directly through over a dozen trees and into a large rock.

"Welp, looks like class is over…" I called out, turning around. "Sorry to tell you this Mizuki-sensei, but you fail!"


In hindsight, revealing my stand right when the Hokage was watching might not have been the best move.

Currently, Naruto and I sat before the old man in his office, the blonde twiddling his thumbs nervously beneath the Hiruzen's gaze. I should have been grateful that the Hokage was paying a bit more attention to Naruto than he was to me, but even the ROOT in the room were staring owlishly at Star Platinum.

"...Jiji...about what happened-"

"Naruto, let me put your fears to rest," Hiruzen removed his pipe from his mouth. "You are not the Kyuubi, you're simply its Jinchūriki. That means that the fox was sealed inside of you using Fūinjutsu, I think you're well aware of what that entails."

"You can use Fūinjutsu to seal tailed beasts?"

"Yes, but only the Ichibi can be sealed into anything other than a person. Anything stronger needs a living host," the old man refilled his pipe and continued smoking. "You were chosen because...well, apparently anybody else would get a shortened lifespan from having it. Only the Uzumaki, who naturally live longer, can faithfully hold the fox and still live a long and fulfilling life. Plus, your father believed you were the best candidate, that you would use it to protect the village."

Wait, hold up!

"My...father?!" the blonde gaped.

"Well, no use hiding it now," Hiruzen stood up and pulled a sealed document from a cabinet, then handed it to Naruto. "I remember the deal we made a few years ago, that if you graduated I would at least tell you about your mother. Well, since you revealed your Mokuton, I think I'm throwing all risk out the window, since if you can keep that a secret your parentage wouldn't be too difficult."

Naruto looked at the sealed document for several seconds, before biting down on his own thumb. The blonde smeared the red liquid onto the seal, causing the envelope to glow slightly. After the brightness faded, the boy pulled the paper out and read through it. I didn't ask whether he had finished reading or not, even if he didn't his expression of shock would have still been present.

"My dad...was the Yondaime…"

"Before you go off on me, there was a reason we hid it from you," the Hokage stood up and stared out of his window at the rest of the village. "Minato had a lot of enemies...and I do mean a lot. You don't get to just completely break the law of inverse ninja strength, it isn't feasibly possible, but your father perfected a jutsu and basically created teleportation which let him destroy an entire army of enemy shinobi in under an hour. This is Iwagakure and Kumogakure we're talking about, so they don't have as much ninja as we do, but they have better quality ninja, and your old man took out half of their respective forces."

"Of Iwa or Kumo?"

"Yes," the old man responded with, giving the blonde a blank look. "Your mother, Kushina, she wasn't too bad either. Minato married her in secret because Minato didn't want an angry mob of civilians from the worker's council going after him for refusing their daughters or something like that. Kushina could have easily taken an army herself too, considering she was an Uzumaki...and she was like you," Hiruzen pointed to the blonde's stomach. "She was the one to bear your burden before you. We don't know what happened, but we assumed the worst since seals on female Jinchūriki weaken when they're giving birth."

"So it was my fault though," Naruto said lowly. "If I wasn't born, then the fox wouldn't have broken out of my mom and destroyed everything."

"Naruto, it was not your fault," the old man said quickly. "Your parents died to save the village, and to make sure you would be able to safely carry this burden and protect everybody. If they were alive, they'd never let you blame yourself for this!"

"I...I still don't know what to think," the blonde said lowly. "Did he know? That everybody would hate me?"

"Hindsight is 20/20...I don't think it applies though, since Minato used a technique that killed him to seal the fox," Hiruzen looked down at the boy sadly. "I don't think they would have let it happen, at least while they were in the village. The only reason I feel the need to tell you this is because we want to figure out how you could have gotten the Mokuton. The Uzumaki had a close relationship with the senju before Uzushio was destroyed, but most records tell us your mother had little to no senju descent...well, no more than the other uzumaki."

"What about my dad?" the blonde asked.

"He was an orphan...I guess that's a good place to start," then the old man turned to me, and I was dreading the conversation. "Now then, onto the elephant in the room."

"I'd go more with...big buff purple ghost man," Iruka said nervously. "How long have you had a spirit attached to you?"

"Since I was six, and it's not a spirit...not in the way you're thinking."

"I know a thing or two about Stands Iruka," Hiruzen said kindly. "For starters, the most basic way to explain them is as the user's life energy harnessed by their soul and manifested into a spirit-like entity. Stands can interact with the world around them, much like what you saw with Mizuki."

Everybody aside from myself cringed. T&I might not need to do much at all, considering what I did to the asshole. I regret nothing!

"Stand users also gain a supernatural ability, one that is unique only to them," the old man ran a hand through his beard in thought. "Everything about how stands work is rather...well, muddled. Stands are based off their users psyche, which means that they're as varied as the human mind is. All stands follow a general set of rules, but these rules are looser than a-" Hiruzen flashed me and Naruto an embarrassed look. "Well, the gist is they don't all come out the same. Joushirou, your stand is very powerful, it's the perfect type of stand for direct combat. The only other user living in Konoha has one that is rather weak, and the one other user we had, well his was very situational."

"There's another user in Konoha?" I blurted out, not even caring that I had just raised my voice at the Hokage. "Who are they? Are they dangerous? What are-"

"Joushirou, calm down!" the Hokage huffed in exasperation. "The other stand user is somebody you know, they're not dangerous, and they don't have an ability that would be useful for combat."

"So, you can just send your stand to fight your battles?" Naruto asked me, giving Star Platinum inquisitive looks. "You'd practically be invincible."

"Unless I fought another stand-user," I said flatly. "The only thing I know of that can hurt a stand is another stand...correct me if I'm wrong Hokage-sama."

"You aren't. As far as we know, the only thing that can combat a stand-user is another stand-user," Hiruzen sighed. "The second user we had, he began using his stand for his own nefarious purposes. We decided to put him down, but the squad of Jōnin we sent after him was nearly wiped out. He only had his for a year, but the power he had was just too devastating."

"How do you know so much about them then?" the blonde gave me a skeptical look.

"I read a bunch of books on the occult," I said. "I woke up one day with a buff purple ghost hanging around me, and my parents had died a while beforehand, so I needed something to take my mind off it."

"So jutsu can't hurt it?"

"As far as we know, even s-ranked jutsu would barely make a scratch," Hiruzen hummed in thought. "But like I said, a stand can only be hurt by another stand. Anything that were to happen to…"

"Star Platinum."

"Anything that happens to Star Platinum will also happen to Joushirou, as is the case with most stand-users."

"That's crazy," the blonde tilted his head as he examined my stand. "How did you even get it?"

Best to tell him the truth then, huh?

"I walked onto a plot of land where a piece of the messiah's corpse was buried. That's how I got it."

Naruto gave me an exasperated look. "Jojo, we just fought our traitor teacher after he turned into a scythe-wolf, I think I've dealt with enough crazy for the night."

"...Yare Yare Daze, whatever," I turned to the old man. "So what happens now?"

"Well, there's still a lot I feel the need to talk about with you, some things are rather private," Hiruzen's eyes darted to Naruto for a split second. "At the moment, it's late, and the two of you have been through quite a bit tonight. We have the whole week to get this settled, so I'd say taking a small break before your team assignments won't hurt."

"I guess...I'm just hoping that I don't get a lazy asshole for a Jōnin sensei."

"Oh, I'm certain the arrangements will work out just fine" the Hokage said in a somewhat sickeningly sweet voice.

...Y'know what, deal with whatever that is later, I'm officially retiring for the night. Maybe Kakyoin will stop giving me so much flak after this.


←To Be Continued


So, there is one thing I have to say for the last part of the chapter. On the spacebattles version of the fic, there was some protest on having "Completely Invincible" Stands, and yeah I know it looks written that way. But the whole backstory about Konoha's history with Stands in this version of the Naruto world only involves two stands and their users, and at least one didn't follow the normal rules, so Hiruzen doesn't know exactly how Stands in general work. Star Platinum isn't gonna be invulnerable to every jutsu in existence, and like I've said, Joushiriou isn't gonna be a Gary Stu or something like that.

Now then, onto the reviews!

Guest: Ain't a joke, but I'm not making him "Instantly OP", hell just using one technique took a lot for him. I'm gonna try and have him realistically train himself to be a badass instead of instantly being a badass like every other fic does.

Uwotm007: Naruto has a Mac, so this checks out.

coldblue2015: No, you didn't annoy me with that, just surprised me since I never expect PMS anymore. Joushirou doesn't have three Tsurugi, just the one, the other two are a tanto and a wakizashi. He's left handed, so he uses the tanto first in most fights. As for animal summons...Dolphins maybe? SP using jutsus seems overpowering with whats up top, since jutsus don't affect stands as much as they should. His test for his Jonin sensei will definitely stand out against the other tests, no doubt.

DankAnon: Joushirou learning the Oiroke...hmm...(begins writing in idea book.)

Tobi is a Gooder Boy: The Steely Dan Treatment was in this chapter, with Mizuki (I counted every ORA, even in the original Japanese manga, to get it right), that last beatdown was just the same as the one Jotaro gave Kira after Kira pushed the DIO button (MUDA).

Jenko J. Jenkins 99: Jojo isn't gonna do all the work by himself, the next few chapters are gonna be his first D-rank missions and a C-rank (and the First Enemy Stands!). No, Naruto is not gonna be descended from DIO, that'd be rather phoned in. I'm still on the fence about an alternate version of Giorno, but Pucci will show up someday.

As always, thank you for the followings and reviews. For everybody interested, please leave any thoughts, questions, and constructive criticism in your reviews.
