I do not own 'Naruto'

The Test

"Well hello Naruto-Kun, Yakumo-Chan." Io spoke cheerfully.

"Hello Io-Sensei." Naruto greeted.

"None of that Sensei stuff." He waved. "I've taught you all I could, you absorbed it all like a sponge and took it to the next level."

It was true. In the time that Naruto worked under the weapon forger, he not only excelled, but advanced more than anyone believed he would. His weapons were so well forged that it was now common stocked into the village arsenal.

"I have a gift for you." The elderly man stated.

He pulled out a scroll and handed it to Naruto. When the blond opened it, he was shocked and impressed with what was inside.

It was a jacket, similar to the jacket his father wore. It was completely silver in color, minus the mark on the back. It was the kanji for Iron.

"Consider it one of your gifts for graduating." The elderly man spoke. "It's made from chakra enhanced steel thread." He informed. "It's hard as steel and light as a regular jacket, it can't be damaged by regular means, but it won't make you invincible." He warned. "It can take blows from non chakra enforced weapons and punctures. A word of caution Naruto, It can withstand the damage, you however can not."

Naruto nodded in understanding. Don't take needless risks and don't get reckless.

"You said it was one of his gifts." Yakumo spoke.

"Ah, yes." Io spoke as he stretched his hand towards Naruto. "You've impressed me with your idea's as well as your skills, so I'm extending to you an offer of partnership."

"Yes yes yes!" Naruto shouted in joy.

He, as well as Yakumo, were officially Shinobi of the Leaf village. Now he was being offered a job to create even greater weapons as an equal with the man who taught him everything he knew! It was looking to be a good day.

"Come on Naruto." Yakumo spoke as she pulled his sleeve. "We need to leave now if we want to make it to the Team assignments on time."

"Oh, right!" Naruto agreed. "Thank you Io-Sen, I mean partner!"

Naruto and Yakumo stood in front of their class door.

They were both terrified as well as excited. The minute they wen't through those doors they will be starting the rest of their lives.

-Hokage's office

The Third Hokage looked at the Jounin that filled his office. Each there in hopes of gaining their own squad of Genin.

"Do you all know why you're here?" The Third asked only for the Shinobi to shake their heads. "Because of the unexpected graduation of Yakumo and Naruto, the teams are uneven this year. Are their any suggestions?"

"I would like to take on Naruto Uzumaki." Kakashi and Kurenai informed.

"Explain." The leader ordered.

Kurenai stepped forward.

"I believe that with him on my team, it will spark confidence in Hinata." She spoke. "She has potential, but is held back because of her shy demeanor. I hope that having her crush by her side will push her to better herself."

Kakashi stepped forward.

"Sasuke and Naruto have a small rivalry." He informed. "With them two together, it will push Sasuke to be the best that he can. He will realize his potential and I can teach him my many Jutsus when his Sharingan awakens."

The aged leader took a small puff on his pipe as he thought this over.

"Denied to both of you." He spoke.

"If we way may ask Hokage-Sama, why?"

"You both intend to use the boy to further another student, yet you don't seem to care about his own advancements." The Third explained. "I had at least expected you, Kurenai to want Yakumo. She has shown such progress, even after you believed she would fail."

Kurenai lowered her head in shame. She has made attempts to reconcile with the girl, but all were met negatively.

"In defense to that, there's not much he can learn, he can't use chakra." Kakashi stated. "He can at least be of use towards the village by helping his comrades advance."

The Third gave the Jounin a hard glare.

"Naruto is a use to the village." He spoke harshly. "He's a master weapon maker, half the standard weapons the village now uses are his work. He's even adept in most of them." He took a calming breath of his pipe. "Naruto can use Chakra, he just can't control it, either he adds to much or too little."

"But sir-"

"I would have had to turn you all down for your choices anyway." The Third spoke, cutting the Jounin off. "They show the best teamwork since the Sannin and refuse to part. I will have to have another take and train them."

"If not either of us, then who?"

"I've got a certain candidate in mind."

-Konoha hospital

Anko had snuck into the village's main hospital. Usually, this action was not needed, but for what she had planned, it was.

Step one, infiltrate hospital. Check.

Step two, acquire disguise. Check.

The woman she had knocked unconscious was proof of that. Now she wore an not too modest nurse outfit.

Step three, find target. In progress.

Anko noticed that their was a lone nurse in front of a desk. An easy target, the kind the snakes liked best.

The Special Jounin easily made her way behind the nurse without anyone noticing. She pulled out a kunai and placed it against the lady's back.

"Where is Iruka Umino's room?" She asked.

The nurse began typing on the computer, searching for the target.

"R-Room 420!" The nurse answered nervously.

"Good, now take the rest of the day off." The Special Jounin advised. "And make sure you keep this just between us."

"My l-lips are sealed."

"Good."

Anko watched as the woman ran home, no doubt terrified of what she had just been through.

Nothing a stiff drink won't fix. Anko thought.

Step three, find target. Check.

-Iruka

The Chunin lay in bed, recovering from his injuries. He had been lost in his thoughts about how proud he was of his students, they did an amazing job.

He was brought back when his door was opened. His 'nurse' slid in silently, before locking the door.

"Hello Iruka-Kun." Anko spoke sweetly.

"A-Anko-San, what are you doing here?" He asked, more than a little nervous.

The lady walked towards him with a sway in her hip until she near his bed. Throwing one leg around him, she crawled on top of him until he was face to breast with her.

"Oh, I just came to help you...feel better." She purred.

"That's a mighty fine offer Anko-Chan." He stated sheepishly. "But I'm in no condition for any...activities."

"Oh don't worry." She spoke as she lowered herself down. "I'll do all of the work."

"I'm sorry Anko-San." He spoke. "But I, well...no."

He's turning me down? She thought before becoming enraged. He's turning me down!

Anko became aware of a weight on her left shoulder. It was a miniature her, with small devil horns and a pitchfork.

'If you take him now, he can't resist.' The miniature her informed.

Okay, good point. Anko agreed. But let's see what Angel-Anko has to say.

'What, I am Angel-Anko.'

On her other shoulder, she became vaguely aware of an even greater weight.

It was her, but much more...her. Her skin was crimson red, either naturally or from blood painting her skin. Her horns were larger and curled. She was twice as large as the 'Angel'-Anko. She wore only a skimpy black thong and matching bra.

She didn't speak, she only impaled the 'Angel' with her larger pitchfork and pulled her over. Opening her mouth, she bit the 'Angel's' head off with her razor sharp teeth and dropped the body. Her laughter could be heard as she disappeared in flames.

Anko hastily stood up and made her way towards Iruka's morphine. He didn't see what she was doing because she blocked his view. When she stepped to the side, he noticed a small puncture hole.

She gave him a blank look before leaving.

"Anko, what did you do?" He asked terrified. "ANKO!?"

Anko had just managed to change her clothes and make it out of the door when she was stopped. It was one of the ANBU, the elite.

"Anko Mitarashi." The ANBU spoke.

"I didn't do it!" She lied. "The venom was already in his system!"

"What?"

"What?"

"...Hokage-Sama requests your presence." The ANBU spoke.

With a nod, the Special Jounin was off.

Anko walked into the office of her village leader. She noted the other Jounin in there but didn't pay them any mind.

"Hello Hokage-Sama." She greeted.

"...What did you do?"

"What?" She asked in confusion.

"You only show respect when you've done something." Hiruzen spoke. "What did you do?"

"...If it can't be proven, then I didn't do it." She stated.

The Third just sighed as he felt an upcoming headache. Let's get this over with.

"I have an S-Rank mission for you Anko." He began, knowing it would excite her. "Involving two important people."

"Yesss." She drooled at the prospect. An assassination, a seduction, or both?!

"And you..." He trailed off.

"Yesss."

"Will train them as your students."

"No way!" Three voices shouted.

The voices were Kakashi, Kurenai and Anko herself.

"Is there a problem?" The Third asked, feigning innocence.

"Hokage-Sama, I don't think it's wise to allow Anko to train them." Kakashi spoke. "Or anyone really."

"No offense Anko, but I have to agree with Kakashi here." Kurenai spoke. "Aren't you, not allowed near children?"

"I know this is strange, but I trust Anko more then either of you two at the moment." The Third spoke. "Plus, they all have something in common."

"And what would that be?" Kakashi asked. "A food addiction?"

"They all know what it's like to be shunned and abandoned!" The Third shouted, silencing them. "Alright Anko, I'll level with you." He spoke seriously. "Now we both know I could just order you to train them, but I won't. Instead, I'll make a deal with you."

"I'm listening." She spoke.

"If you can get them through the Chunin exams this year, I'll promote you to full Jounin." He spoke. "Only if they pass."

Anko considered the deal, she had to admit, it was something she had wanted for a long time. Now it was in her reach, with just two little walls.

"Deal."

Taking their step into class, the former dead lasts where greeted in silence.

"What are you two doing here?" Someone asked. "This room is for graduates only."

"Check it out." Naruto spoke as he pointed to his headband.

"How did you get a head band, and what's with the look?"

The class finally took notice of Naruto's appearance. He wore the gift from his Sensei made partner. A pair of standard Shinobi pants and shirt. His biggest standout was the belt he wore. It held several scrolls in them.

"They were gifts." Naruto answered. "For graduating a make-up test."

Like a drunken eagle, a black cloth broke through the window. It spread out to reveal that it was a sign. It read

The newly appointed Jounin instructor

The sexy and single ANKO MITARASHI

"I'm the Sensei for the unlucky brats who passed some make up exam." She spoke as she eyed the children. "I'm Anko Mitarashi."

Wearily, Naruto and Yakumo raised their hands. "That's us S-Sensei."

Anko took one look at them and groaned.

"Not you two, I'm tired of you two." She sighed before standing standing straight. A job is a job and a deal is a deal. She thought as she remembered her own brashness. "Meet me at training ground 44 in ten minutes."

"But that's across the village." Yakumo spoke. "And forbidden to Genin."

"Nine minutes and fifty-four seconds." Anko spoke as she jumped out the window.

Nine minutes and fifty-two seconds later.

Naruto had run all the way towards the training ground with Yakumo on his back. The major delay of not knowing where the training grounds exact location was not a plus.

Now he was on his knees, gasping for air.

"Did you carry her here?" Anko asked as she noticed their different conditions.

"Yes." Naruto answered.

"Huh." Was all she said.

Anko walked towards the two graduates and began examining them. A pull here and an inappropriate touch here, the normal stuff.

Then she punched them both on the head.

"What was that for?!" Naruto demanded.

"That was for knocking my food over!" She answered.

"That was months ago!"

"Now onto serious matters." Anko spoke. "You two are graduates of the academy, but you aren't Genin."

"What?" They asked in outrage. "But we passed!"

"That was a test to see if you had enough skills to survive." She informed. "There is another test that determines whether or not you are capable of utilizing them to be a Shinobi."

"What is this test?" Yakumo asked.

"Each is different for the team and Sensei." Anko answered. "Mine will be pretty simple." She pulled out a sharp kunai. "You both have to last ten minutes against me in a fight."

Naruto and Yakumo looked at each other nervously as they considered their would be teacher's words.

"...Is this just an excuse for you to beat on us?"

"Less talking, more fighting."

Anko gave them one minute to ready themselves and then she would begin her assault.

Let's see what's so special about these two. Anko thought.

Review.

Sorry for the wait, hopefully this will hold you over, next chapter will be soon.

I need to clear something up. The challenge for weapons is still open and will be for a this entire story, just send them to me, but I need to elaborate.

1) No swords. No musical instrument weapons. No guns. No weapons that changes. Period!

2) PM me for the weapons. Those who sent them in review, please PM them to me. There were some good ideas, but it's hard to differentiate between them and actual comments.
